[00:00] bazhang: i might - do you know whether either support VST plugins? [00:00] if you are downloading version 11.04 (Maverick) RIGHT NOW can you give a speed report? === mike_ is now known as Guest33960 [00:01] I just installed Precise i have no login sound [00:01] mikubuntu, speed report on what [00:02] nydel, could be, I'd need to check [00:02] Could someone tell me how to register my nickname with freenode [00:02] DelG, /join #freenode [00:02] bazhang: i've found ardour in the software center. what i'm wondering is will i be able to use synthesizers [00:02] bazhang: download speed from ubuntu servers [00:02] where do i go to activate login music [00:02] bazhang: or is it for recording [00:02] What is the best way to upgrade from Kubuntu 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS? I don't want to wait 3 months for the first point release. [00:02] After ugprading to 12.04, it seems that I'm only getting Unity2d. Is there any way to check why that is (or try to fix it)? [00:02] mikubuntu, very slow, it's 3 days after release [00:03] bazhang: i'd like to see how slow -- i'm getting 70kbps right now [00:03] i downloaded the torrent in about 40min... not bad all things considered. === Guest33960 is now known as mcoolin [00:04] bazhang: this appears to be what i was looking for. thank you so much. [00:04] :) [00:04] mikubuntu, they're slow, no way to poll the channel on that. [00:05] wheres the volume control in UE 3.2? [00:05] KM0201: whats a good torrent client to use, i'll try one on this box while i wait for the other one to update [00:05] mikubuntu: i guess it depends on what OS you're using.. for Linux, I like transmission. [00:05] john38, gnome-session-properties [00:06] escott, can i access it in System settings [00:06] mikubuntu: rtorrent (with screen) but that's probably not what your looking for [00:06] john38, i dont think so [00:07] any ubuntu expert in the house? [00:07] zykotick9: no, the screenless laptop is updating via terminal, Jordan_U suggests (and i hope) that the screen issue will resolve on upgrade [00:07] why does fdisk -l return nothing? [00:08] escott, thats for Startup Application Preferences there is only NVIdia X server settings [00:08] escott, how do i enable login sound [00:08] JPeterson, check /proc/partitions and stop using fdisk [00:08] ok, forgot sudo [00:08] mikubuntu: by screen i mean gnu-screen... never mind ;) [00:08] mikubuntu: I didn't suggest that it would, only that it might :) [00:09] Jordan_U: yes, that it might [00:09] Trying to watch videos on Firefox on Kubuntu, some play, many do not. The videos that don't play on Firefox do play on Chrome. Can someone please tell me how to get all youtube videos to play on Firefox? [00:09] can someone welp me plz! i need to get wifi working on my laptop with 12.04 [00:09] well, finally I have Ubuntu 12.04 without problems at first try installing it === RainbowDashh is now known as Rabbit67890 === Rabbit67890 is now known as RainbowDashh [00:09] zykotick9, yes, right over my head [00:09] please explain the difference between the reported size from df and du. where's the other 1.6G http://pastebin.com/jxkf5t02 ? [00:09] is the Ubuntu compatible with Intel Celeron CPUs? [00:09] the problem with BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY wireless wasn't present [00:10] sw0rdfish: whats your wireless device? [00:10] Lint: yes, it is. in fact i have ubuntu running on one right now [00:10] Watcher|2: It's probably videos which use H.264 (a proprietary video codec) rather than Theora or VP8 (both open and unencumbered). [00:10] When making a CD to isntal ubuntu from, do all I have to do is burn the ISO image to the CD? [00:10] all works great, I hope to continue without discover any bug [00:10] :) [00:10] Jordan_U: Is there a wy to tell? [00:10] Audr, yes [00:11] Audr: Google "How to burn an ISO"... the first link is a good one [00:11] many thanks to all people involved in this new version! great work guys, congratulations! [00:11] Fyodorovna: alright, thanks === droid is now known as Guest95179 [00:11] Jordan_U: And is there a way to get H.264 to work? [00:11] Is the Login Sound disabled on Precise? [00:11] anybody tell me how to download 12.04 via TRANSMISSION bittorent? is there a search feature somewhere, or do you have to know the filesource? [00:11] Audr, :) [00:12] JPeterson, thats a tough question to answer. in general its not worth your time unless you need the space. you dont need space so forget about it [00:12] FYI I've installed on a Dell Inspiron 1525 without problems === SpammerRIP is now known as Lemax [00:12] !torrents | mikubuntu [00:12] mikubuntu: Precise can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/desktop/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/server/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 [00:12] i'm using 12.04, and rhythmbox is crashing an awful lot. help? [00:12] mikubuntu, at ubuntu.com are the torrent links [00:12] whats up [00:12] escott: but am i using 1.2G or not? I'm trying to clean out unused files [00:13] alright, burning the image to the CD now [00:13] !unity [00:13] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [00:13] can someone answer a question [00:13] mikubuntu, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [00:14] !ask | kslim [00:14] kslim: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:14] JPeterson, you have to think about hardlinks and reserved space [00:14] KM0201, omg my xchat isn't highlighting anymore over here... sorry... but yeah my laptop is an HP Compaq nc6120 [00:14] !notunity [00:14] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [00:14] is there a way to watch netflix on linux [00:14] escott: but df is the max usage right? [00:14] sw0rdfish: if xchat isn't highlkighting... thats in your settings... and that tells me nothing about you rwireless device [00:15] i mean du [00:15] the higher number in df is because of hardlinks etc? [00:15] JPeterson, for ext4 df is the true and correct measure of free space [00:15] kslim: on gnu/linux i don't link so, on android/linux maybe. [00:15] JPeterson, its probably higher because of reserved space which can be adjusted with etunefs, but not necessary [00:15] escott: but du list all files and sum them to 1.2G [00:16] I'm kind of new to linux so please take time with me. Thanks [00:16] KM0201, I got this by doing lspci | grep Wire .... "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)" [00:16] is that it? KM0201 ? [00:16] hmm, sw0rdfish i thought intel's typically "just work".. i have no idea on that [00:16] escott, im no sure how to enable login sound in gnome-session-properties [00:17] kslim: Best you're going to be able to do is run Windows inside a VM. The Netflix web client uses Microsoft Silverlight with some DRM features that the Linux version doesn't support. [00:17] KM0201, yeah I found some instruction about acer-wmi stuff .... that you need to remove the module or whatever [00:18] john38, with 11.10 they started hiding the option. there is a file you can edit somewhere to make it appear in the session properties. [00:18] I tried to install Marlin but it did not work. " marlin : Depends: libvarka0 but it is not installable" What can I do? [00:18] escott, which one [00:18] downloading torrent of 12.04, but it says file is 701.3, isnt that too big to store on cd? [00:18] john38, http://maketecheasier.com/disable-login-sound-in-ubuntu-oneiric-quick-tips/2011/09/15 [00:18] why ubuntu always have 100% volume on each login? [00:19] Do you think that the video picture just looks better in linux because i've compared windows and linux and to me it is better on linux [00:19] mikubuntu: are you downloading the alternate (it's for cds). the regular one is for a dvd now. [00:19] mikubuntu, you can fit up to 710 on most cds, the larger the cd the more likely the burn will fail at high speed [00:19] it does that since 2008 [00:20] hey guys [00:21] is ubuntu related to Android OS in anyway? and is it true that ubuntu is coming to smart devices? [00:21] Ubuntu runs on the same kernel as Android does. [00:21] Shares some packages, but Android is a pretty different beast. [00:21] Did you check out Ubuntu for Android? :) [00:21] I'm more excited about that than seeing Ubuntu run alone on a tablet or something. [00:22] whats ubuntu for android? [00:22] I haven't been able to fix the splash screen, could anyone give me a hand? [00:22] hi all, im trying to create/update a usb multiboot key following pentix instructions but unbuntu 11.10's grub is screwed [00:23] Ubuntu for Android is a project that hopes to transform your standard Android dockable phone/mobile device into a full Ubuntu workstation. [00:23] Not saying that you'll be using the workstation on that small screen... [00:23] This is support, not offtopic discussion y'all. [00:23] escott, thanks [00:23] Sorry mate, forgot. I don't stray here often. [00:23] I got sidetracked. [00:23] Sorry to repeat, but: I tried to install Marlin but it did not work. " marlin : Depends: libvarka0 but it is not installable" What can I do? [00:23] We'll PM :) [00:24] ThePendulum: What sort of issue are you having with the splash screen? [00:24] Scrivener: actually Android and Ubuntu don't even really run the same kernel... Android uses more-or-less a fork of linux [00:24] http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB this doesnt work any more with ubuntu 11.10 [00:25] Grivvel: It displays at a lower resolution than before I installed the video drivers (actually, it just displayed at the full resolution of 1920x1080 before) === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [00:25] Grivvel: It's not of much importance, but it would be nice to be welcomed with a nice Ubuntu splash screen rather than an ugly one [00:26] ThePendulum: i'll take bootup text over plymouth anyday ;) [00:26] jmg, would you like a multi boter that does, not sure why yours does not work. [00:26] *multibooter [00:27] yes i would, ive done this beforew many times [00:27] zykotick9: Well, as long as things go well, I prefer a tiny bit of eyecandy of nerdy text :P [00:28] jmg, I use this one http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [00:28] Fyodorovna: after update grub i just get reboot and selwct proper boot [00:28] my does "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" use 100% of the disk speed for hours? [00:28] *why [00:28] ThePendulum: Try typing this at the CLI and see what it outputs: gsettings get com.canonical.unity-greeter xft-dpi [00:28] how do i change I/O priority for a process? [00:28] Fyodorovna: thats not what i want, i want to boot from the iso files [00:28] JPeterson, because of what it is doing [00:29] jmg, I'm fairly familiar with grub but I just use a easy app like the one I posted, fixing yours is probably out of my area though. [00:29] JPeterson, it if is literally many hours then things might have gone wrong, but it could take some time [00:30] can someone would please tell me, which version of python is there on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ??? [00:30] !info python | abhinavmehta [00:30] abhinavmehta: python (source: python-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.7.3-0ubuntu2 (precise), package size 162 kB, installed size 658 kB [00:30] jmg, 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] escott: how do i see what itäs doing? [00:31] which is better: ubuntu 12,04 32bits or 64bits? [00:31] pinportal: which is better: blue or yellow? [00:31] pinportal, there is no better. [00:31] JPeterson, 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 time [00:31] pinportal: do you have more then 4GB RAM? [00:31] escott: what about iotop? [00:31] becausem I can use 64 bits... [00:31] Grivvel: It says 96.0 ~ However, isn't that information on the greeter? Is the splash screen part of the greeter? [00:32] why does top show 4M in the process list but 128M used total [00:32] how do i show all memory usage [00:32] per process [00:32] I have 2,0 GB of ram [00:33] hello , is there a howto on enabling wobbly windows and such in virtualised ( virtualbox ) enviroment, with ubuntu 12 [00:33] pinportal: 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] pinportal: 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 transcoding [00:33] !ccsm | BotaniCar [00:33] BotaniCar: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [00:34] pinportal: MirkoKa's transcoding/encoding point is where 64bit can shine! [00:34] is there something like gnome-tweak-tool for unity, too? [00:34] ThePendulum: 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-resolution [00:35] how do i show all process in top? [00:35] BotaniCar, 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] <^Mike> My laptop ran compiz just fine, but I think it must not be capable of running Unity - why would that be? [00:35] because I upgraded ubuntu 11,10 64bits to 12,04 32bits today, and now The system shows many bugs and crashes... [00:35] the load and mem usage is max, but the top list show 3M ram usage and 0% cpu usage [00:35] JPeterson, see man top [00:36] I'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] thanks, both [00:36] Point me in the right direction and I can handle reading through some solutions. [00:36] It's a little difficult to narrow with the keywords I've been using. Lots of unrelated posts. [00:36] escott: no, it's not in the man [00:36] wow.. 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 refo [00:37] Grivvel: I've tried that many times. Just going to try again, now. Brb, reboot [00:37] escott: i don't know which flag you're refering too [00:37] what i mean is to show all process so that the sum of the list is the same as the total ram and cpu usage [00:37] JPeterson: try htop, its more user friendly but still CLI [00:38] henkye: ok [00:38] ^Mike, you ever had to install graphic drivers? [00:38] hello! 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 terminal [00:38] <^Mike> Fyodorovna: No, the laptop has Intel graphics. [00:39] JPeterson: sorry for my rather rough response, but you you do know man pages? then please RTFM (mosz of your questiosn are very tool specific which could be solves my man reading). :-) [00:39] imacinto: ctrl alt F7? [00:39] ^Mike, My laptop has similar issues. Under Mint 11 w/compiz effects it seemed to handle it well (this is on a Dell Inspiron 1525 w/Intel graphics), but Unity is quite sluggish. [00:39] Just graphically speaking. [00:39] ^Mike Hard to say without more info for the channel, but you were probably getting to that.:) [00:39] ? [00:39] MirkoKa: ok [00:39] JPeterson: and forgive me my typos, some beer to much /) [00:39] talif: ok. I don't know what that did, but now it looks like a bunch of processes stopped [00:40] <^Mike> Fyodorovna: I'm not sure how to get data on the intel graphics... I guess I could look up the spec sheet. [00:40] does 12.04 support full root crypto again? [00:40] <^Mike> Scrivener: Yes, compiz ran perfectly under 10.04, but unity 3D looks like utter garbage [00:40] how can I answer a question on this chat? [00:40] how do i disable the login screen screen saver? "sudo setterm -powersave off -blank 0" doesn't seem to affect it, the login screen goes blank after a while [00:41] imacinto: well alt f4 and see if you get taken back to command prompt [00:41] ^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] ^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] <^Mike> Fyodorovna: Ok, well, the spec sheet says "Intel® GMA HD graphics" which doesn't help much :) [00:41] <^Mike> Fyodorovna: I cannot understand that sentence O-o [00:41] talif: yes, I just got taken back to command prompt [00:41] I'm being prompted for login creds [00:41] Is adding "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" to your startup scripts the proper way to load your own mappings in 12.04? Or is there a better way? [00:42] ^Mike, Basically he's saying that if Unity 3D doesn't work, you can try 2D or other environments. === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [00:42] E.g. XFCE, LDXE, KDE. [00:42] Cinnamon? [00:42] the system has become unavalible with the last message "* Stopping network top daemon ntop". it's uncracheable from sshd and direct keyboard input and the cpu load is 100%. how do reach the system again? [00:42] Grivvel: It indeed didn't work, but nevermind [00:43] <^Mike> That's unacceptable. The system should have 3D acceleration fully supported - there is no legitimate reason for unity 3D to suck on this computer that I'm aware of. [00:43] There are basically two identical panels on both my screens. Is there a way to remove the notification area of one of them? [00:43] ^Mike, Is there a generic driver pack that's used for Intel laptop graphics? [00:43] !pm | pinportal [00:43] pinportal: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:44] <^Mike> Scrivener: I believe so - xserver-xorg-video-intel [00:44] Under System Settings > Details > Graphics I have "Driver: Unknown; Experience: Standard" [00:44] ^Mike: Can you pastebin the outptut of "glxinfo"? [00:44] Time to get Guake and check this out... [00:44] <^Mike> Jordan_U: sure, one moment while I install mesa-utils... [00:45] can i prevent that a process consumes every cycle without leaving anything to other processes? [00:45] talif: I feel like my next step is to reinstall the video card drivers that ubuntu ships with, but I don't know how to do that from the command prompt [00:45] <^Mike> Scrivener: "Driver: Intel Ironlake Mobile; Experience: Standard" [00:46] <^Mike> Jordan_U: http://p.hashbang.ca/Y [00:46] JPeterson: The linux kernel will ensure that it's not possible for a single process to starve all others of CPU cycles completely. Are you having a specific problem? [00:46] Jordan_U: yes the system has become unavaliable with the last message "* Stopping network top daemon ntop". it's unracheable from sshd and direct keyboard input and the cpu load is 100%. how do reach the system again? [00:47] Is adding "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" to your startup programs the proper way to load xmodmap mappings in 12.04? Or is there a better way? [00:48] !sysrq | JPeterson [00:48] JPeterson: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [00:48] <^Mike> Jordan_U: See also http://p.hashbang.ca/T which is output of `/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p` [00:48] <^Mike> Jordan_U: ...suggesting that what I'm seeing is actually the way unity is supposed to be? O______________o [00:48] My laptop, Samsung RC512 has both an intel & nvidia graphics cards... but the intel is the one connected to the screen. Ubuntu will not recognize the nvidia card [00:48] Jordan_U: ok thx [00:49] JPeterson: You're welcome. [00:49] Anyone on the panels? [00:49] oh this IS the support channel, I have a 12.04 I just installed, and it has a broadcom BCM 4311 [14e4:4312], I tried doing the whole "install firmware-b43-installer" and removing the bcmwl-kernel-source but it's not registering the wireless card, suggestions? [00:50] ^Mike: What problem are you having with unity specifically? [00:50] <^Mike> Jordan_U: let me switch back to unity 3D, one moment... [00:51] Forer: perhaps a blacklist problem? http://askubuntu.com/questions/38327/how-can-i-get-broadcom-bcm4311-wireless-working/38700#38700 [00:53] thanks hydester_, found it in the blacklist [00:53] rebooting right now [00:53] <^Mike> Jordan_U: So, for example, the "dash home" button at the top left corner is not antialiased properly, making it look like something from 1999 [00:53] !screenshot | ^Mike [00:53] ^Mike: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [00:53] <^Mike> Jordan_U: the vertical-sidebar-thing looks flat, compared to screenshots and video I've seen of Unity [00:55] works now, thanks hydester_ [00:55] Forer: np. [00:55] <^Mike> Jordan_U: http://i.imgur.com/u6TmA.png [00:55] Jordan_U, System Settings > Details > Graphics shows "unknown" driver. I know in this Inspiron 1525 I've got Intel graphics, like ^Mike. KDE 4.8 is far glitzier in 3d effects, but also far snappier than Unity (dash interaction is a bit disappointing), and this leads me to think there's something wrong with driver installations on the lappy. [00:55] What should I check to get more info on this? [00:55] is anyone trying emesene in precise ? i have error in it [00:56] <^Mike> Scrivener: /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p [00:56] Yes to all. [00:56] <^Mike> :\ [00:56] Output was yes to all. [00:57] <^Mike> weird, I just noticed that HUD doesn't do anything O_o [00:57] <^Mike> like, it accepts my input, but nothing ever comes up [00:58] While you're inside an application? [00:58] <^Mike> Scrivener: any time [00:58] <^Mike> Anyone know what package HUD is? [00:58] Hm. [00:58] !hud [00:58] Ubuntu 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-offtopic [00:58] is there ubuntu help channel? [00:58] Is there a replacement for Xmodmap in 12.04 that we are supposed to use for remapping your keyboard? [00:59] guys, 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] courtier: You're here :) [00:59] courtier, you are on it. [00:59] wookienz: /etc/exports [00:59] Anyone have any experience making ATI graphics work well?

[01:00] straws, ubuntu suport [01:00] wookienz: its easy just google nfs server setup it will tell you all about the process better than I can off of memory... [01:00] not the channel i mean the network [01:00] i tried to install java7 in terminal and its telling me its not installed [01:00] InferiorHumanOrg, been there done that. Still having issues. [01:00] <^Mike> Fyodorovna: Yes, but do you know what *package* HUD resides in, so I can check if this is a known bug? [01:00] wookienz: for example mine RW config /home/henk/sharedone 10.0.0.1/24(rw,sync) [01:01] Xmodmap? Anyone? [01:01] im trying to install something and its telling me this E: Package 'gnome-shell-extensions-windows-navigator' has no installation candidate [01:01] straws, You can read about the network here: http://freenode.net/ This is the Ubuntu support channel. [01:01] there ya go just change henkye's example to fit your needs [01:01] when are we going to see a fix for Nvidia users? [01:01] straws, There are tons of linux channels in which many talk about programming, specfic languages in some [01:01] henkye, do you have different owners of the underlying FS on the storage device than the computer you are mapping to? [01:01] wookienz: of courese, the folder must have filesystem permissions for anyone [01:02] wookienz: just chmod the folder to 777 if security is no issue [01:02] ^Mike, not sure really I use gnome 3 now so I have not messed with HUD. [01:02] I'm still messing around in the console trying to get my video to work. I did "sudo Xorg -configure" and I see a clue: "Number of created screens does nto match number of detected devices." [01:03] imachine, nvidia? === ulkesh|away is now known as ulkesh [01:03] imachine, nvidia cards got borked due to Ubuntu deciding to fuck its nvidia users [01:03] endafy: my video card is an ATI Radeon 6290 [01:03] !language | endafy [01:03] endafy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:04] they seriously need to fix this because this is unnacceptable for a LTS release [01:04] it might have been ntop that made the system unavaliable. took ram and cpu use to max. [01:04] this is the kind of crap you hear about from Microsoft not Linux [01:04] good thing I don't use ubuntu desktop [01:04] problem solved! [01:04] endafy: well, full disclosure, I was messing around trying to upgrade my video card drivers [01:05] its the new unstable x-org [01:05] what's the problem with NVidia and Ubuntu? [01:05] so this is a perfectly fitting result of screwing around with things I don't understand [01:05] at the last second canonical decided to put a broken xorg into the LTS release imachine [01:05] except now all I want to do is revert the video card drivers back to what 12.04 shipped with, and I have no idea how to do that [01:05] akem: seems a lot of folk are having trouble with multi-monitor setups [01:05] imacinto, rather [01:05] endafy: This channel is for productive support discussion, please stop the unproductive ranting (or move it to a different channel). [01:06] Jordan_U, its not unproductive when I spit truth [01:06] not ideal having 777 very bad for security im led to believe [01:06] another issue... when my computer drops a file into the NFS share it is ownner by a UID ie 1000 on the storage device, not by any valid users on that storage device. [01:06] endafy: It's not helping solve anyone's support question. Please stop or move it to another channel. [01:06] gaelfx, hm k. [01:06] Jordan_U, they used upstream unstable version of xorg from debian universe which makes no sense [01:07] akem: but I'm happy with the nvidia drivers in 12.04, my HDMI audio finally works [01:07] guys i need help http://paste2.org/p/1999623 [01:07] Is the 12.04 desktop for AMD64+Mac broken for anyone else? [01:08] Rather, the download? [01:09] how do i permantly disable the login screeen screen saver? [01:09] (prevent it from going black) [01:09] courtier: "sha256sum mismatch jdk-7u3-linux-x64.tar.gz" looks like download failure [01:10] henkye, can you help me fix this? [01:10] JPeterson: I think you would have to set the screen to never blackout under any conditions, but to be sure you might try going through gconf-editor and see if there's an option only for login screen [01:10] Fyodorovna: do you speak russian? [01:11] courtier: just my guess, just try to download again ? [01:11] gaelfx: i mean the shell login screen. X is not installed [01:11] Sorry for being slightly off-topic, but could you guys check if you can get on http://84.25.233.43/phpmyadmin/ ? Thanks! [01:11] courtier: anyway, i think ubuntu preffers openjdk [01:12] ThePendulum: I get a 403 [01:12] ThePendulum, 403 forbidden [01:12] i need it for development [01:13] imacinto, ulkesh: Good, thanks for checking! :) [01:13] ThePendulum, I failed> Forbidden You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server. [01:13] tripelb: Thanks, exactly what I needed :) [01:13] :) [01:13] Forbidden [01:13] You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server. [01:13] oops [01:14] this... http://www.alternet.org/story/155167/5_fascinating_new_uses_for_psychedelics?page=entire [01:14] tripelb: I should be able to access that, but no one else should ^^ I can, so mission accomplished [01:14] you have only CISPA to worry about now [01:14] JPeterson: I wouldn't have thought that the screen would go off without any gui installed [01:14] why Unity was made nearly useless in 12.04? launcher goes crazy (double tap to open an app, no "always visible when non-full screen apps open, always hide when full screen app is opened" feature) [01:15] !ot | tripelb [01:15] tripelb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:15] gaelfx: it's a terminal cabability [01:15] apparently controleld form setterm [01:16] !guidelines [01:16] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [01:16] Jordan_U: any ideas? is it possible to fix this launcher behaviour? [01:16] but i can't disable the login screen blank [01:16] ksx4system: I have no idea. === ulkesh is now known as ulkesh|away [01:17] where does setterm write to? [01:17] how do i check the permanent setterm settings? [01:18] ksx4system: bug 930148 has workarounds [01:18] Launchpad bug 930148 in unity (Ubuntu) "Dodge windows is down but what about making the launcher autohide only on maximised apps ?" [Wishlist,Opinion] https://launchpad.net/bugs/930148 [01:18] Hmm, I used to be able to use ctrl+alt+t to start the terminal, but that doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone know where that keybinding is set up? (Probably some compiz plugin?) [01:19] Does anyone know when Trine 2 DEMO will be available for Linux? [01:19] Xmodmap in 12.04? ANy other way of remapping the keyboard? [01:20] Grivvel: it works for me. [01:20] Can I remove Thunderbird, LibreOffice and any other applications that I don't use after installing default Ubuntu? Or will that remove some meta-package as well? [01:21] where's the setterm config file or permanent storage? [01:21] any good ubuntu compatible solutions for really low latency (<2ms) audio over IP? [01:21] Is pulseaudio/RTP good enough? [01:21] sound? How do I stop my line input from auto setting gain? [01:21] JanneM: Yeah, but during the upgrade my compiz settings got wiped (not just reset to defaults), so I'm pretty sure its in there. At worst I can add it in the commands tab, but I'm pretty sure there's a built-in way to do it [01:22] anyone experience a problem with an oversensitive mouse right-click? right clicking often selects anything below the mouse. this especially sucks when in an ide like eclipse... this worked with the same mouse in 11.10 but doesnt after my upgrade. [01:23] What is the default sound manager for 12.04? [01:23] im losing network access every 30 minutes or so for 15-30 seconds at a time. The network connection is wired. Any suggestions for troubleshooting? I know its not an ip conflict issue. [01:23] qwd: thunderbird and libreoffice won't remove ubuntu-desktop because they are only recommends, although it is alright to remove ubuntu-desktop anyway (just be sure to reinstall it when you decide to upgrade to the next version later) [01:23] trism: thanks! [01:24] Grivvel: Settings->keyboard->Shortcuts? [01:24] i should be able to have a storage device with seperate users than the desktop i am mapping the NFS to, and still have rw access to anything and everyting without having to chmod 777 it all. Surely this is possible [01:24] someone help i cant install anything because this keeps bugging me http://paste2.org/p/1999623 [01:25] when I try to boot in failsafe graphic mode, I get an error message that says no screens found [01:25] have you tried a different mirror courtier? [01:25] imacinto: do you have a nvidia video card? [01:26] sfears: no, I have a ATI Radeon [01:26] qwd, yes no worries [01:27] JanneM: Thanks for the help :D It turns out it was the "Gnome Compatibility" module of Compiz (which indeed just adds the shortcut to the keyboard shortcuts you sent me to). [01:27] imacinto: what if you boot in regular graphics mode? [01:27] sfears, i tried different mirror i tried to remove it and reinstall it in synaptic and nothing [01:27] sfears: I get a console, no GUI [01:27] something about tty1 [01:28] i'm updating my server from 11.10 to 12.04... what do i need to change to make it upgrade to LTS only [01:28] imacinfo: Have you tried pressing ctrl+alt+f7 when at tty1? [01:29] http://paste2.org/p/1999656 [01:29] Grivvel: yes, and I get a bunch of messages about starting and stopping services [01:29] Which one is failing? [01:29] imacinto: 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] Do you have multiple DEs trying to run? Closed source drivers? [01:30] You're on a imac, so you'll need the Nvidia drivers for brightness control (I think) and external monitors. [01:30] no, my name is Ian MacIntosh ;) [01:30] Im guessing you're on a iMac from your name anyway... [01:31] Oh, alright then. [01:31] my machine I'm troubleshooting is an Acer Aspire One 722 netbook [01:31] What kind of GPU? [01:31] the video card is a ATI Radeon 6290, I don't know anything more specific about the GPU itself [01:32] video card is the GPU. [01:32] is grub in 1`1.04 unable to boot from a fat32 volume? [01:32] oh. cool. I was under the impression that the GPU was a dedicated CPU that runs on the video card. I've learned something new [01:32] Unless its one of those fancy laptops that switch GPU depending on your usage [01:33] Are you using generic ATI drivers, or official ones? [01:33] No plural there.. [01:34] Have you gotten into your desktop before, or is it a fresh install? If you have: Done any changes to Xorg.conf? [01:34] imacinto/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] AriaDesu: 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 recommended [01:35] How do you report a bug [01:35] when I say system drivers, I mean whatever 12.04 ships with [01:35] Grivvel: imacinto: Yup. And if you are, try switching back. ATI drivers tend to act up. [01:36] 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 how [01:36] And it broke after the install? [01:36] Do startx, see if that works [01:36] Is Xmodmap still the preferred way to remap your keyboard layout in 12.04? [01:36] i change my terminal background [01:36] AriaDesu: yes. when I tried installing the drivers Ubuntu recommended (from the "settings" menu or whatever it's called on the top right of the GUI), it failed part-way through. I tried again with the same result [01:36] but it so brightness [01:37] so now I'm convinced I have a botched set of video card drivers [01:37] Is anyone able to download the AMD64+Mac image from the Ubuntu dailies? Link's broken for me. [01:37] how can i fix it? [01:37] I tried to dual boot Kubuntu 11.10 with Ubuntu 12.04.... Install seemed to go ok, but after reboot lost grub and it would just boot into 12.04.... Played with Ubuntu 12.04 for a few days, then did some updates and it broke and wouldn't boot again. [01:37] Then I did a new clean install on the whole disk of Ubuntu 12.04 64bit [01:37] Am i the only one does anyone else have trouble seeing the splash loading screen at startup [01:37] samuraibsd: try the torrent... worked for me [01:37] Whats the error you get then? [01:37] imacinto: The post-release updates version failed for me too. Did you try the other one? [01:37] Installed ok, rebooted and gets to the desktop screen and that is it [01:37] no login and i can't go anywhere eelse?.... Any ideas? [01:38] john38: I'd google 'nomodeset' if I were you [01:38] john38: I do too, but it's because I'm using NVidia drivers and 1080p resolution [01:38] jct: Where's the torrent located? I tried to find one at torrents.ubuntu.com, and an unofficial mirror, but they're broken. [01:38] Grivvel: Yes, then I tried cancelling half way through [01:38] Man this room is busy. How do people keep track? [01:38] john38: by splash do you mean the login screen? [01:38] how can fix background brightness of terminal? [01:38] torrent.ubuntu.com* [01:38] samuraibsd: releases.ubuntu.com should have all available download options [01:38] leminhtan47: Gnome-term? Right click, change color. [01:38] AriaDesu: I tried startx and got an error. there's a lot of content here in front of me, so I'm not sure what to look at [01:38] designbybeck, no splash ubuntu loading screen [01:38] samuraibsd: ah crumb, hadn't noticed you said "daily," I was referring to release. Sorry! [01:38] Hey has anyone seen if the cinnamon ppa's started working again? [01:38] designbybeck, "ubuntu" [01:38] gaelfx: I to have mine, at least onboard Nvidia running vga to a tv at least and I can't get the login now [01:39] anyone know how to turn off AGC (automatic gain control) on the line input for audio? [01:39] "Segmentation fault at address 0xc"... "Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting"... "ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log" [01:39] ah, i guess now thinking of it I dont' either john38 [01:39] jct: The Mac one isn't in there. [01:39] imacinto: Sorry if I missed this, but does this only happen after you log in or does the login screen fail too? [01:39] in /12.04 or /precise [01:39] designbybeck, ok [01:39] hi all! need help: whan i plug hedphones, i still hava sound coming out from speakers (and heaphones laso) [01:39] Grivvel: the login screen fails as well. Grub loads, then I get a flash of a purple screen, then I'm dumped to the console [01:39] *also [01:40] anyone here w/ success doing efi boot on a mac? [01:40] and for what ever reason when I press ALT+CTRL+F# my tv that i'm hooked into gives me invalid resolution [01:41] so I can't see my commandline to try to fix any xorg stuff or what ever might be the prob [01:41] Hmmmn, nope, that merlwiz Cinnamon ppa is still broken for me (no desktop). Stopped working halfway through beta2 Precise [01:42] Guess i'll try Kubuntu 12.04 [01:42] I'm going to try to follow earlier advice from sfears: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [01:42] Anyone know about the ubuntu android project? [01:42] Hi, I have a fresh install of ubuntu studio but the fonts are somewhat pretty hard read, how can I change that? I try with other fonts but is still http://imgur.com/DJNVp [01:42] is there a way to make an aliases for root and when sudo is involved in one but not the other? [01:43] Oh, there's a new Cinnamon ppa... nm [01:43] can I script some test for who I'm logged in under in .bashrc or something? [01:44] Okay, that didn't work. I tried booting in failsafe graphic mode from the recovery menu, and got the same "no screens found" error message as before [01:44] when I plug in headphones, i still have sound coming out from speakers (and heaphones also) [01:44] Ok new question... how do you update a ppa? Remove the old one, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade THEN add the updated ppa, and repeat? [01:45] heyOH_: I've heard that problem (or seen it) in a thread before [01:45] do you know of www.googlubuntu.com? [01:45] tehowe_: What do you mean by "update a ppa"? [01:46] ClientAlive: ? what is that? [01:46] hey, anyone from the bugsquad here? [01:46] Jordan_U: If one ppa's no longer updated but someone else has taken up the same project at another ppa [01:46] can any one please tell me that how can i install gnome3 desktop in ubuntu 11.10 + [01:46] heyOH_: googlubuntu.com is a google search engine for ubuntu [01:46] no one seems to be answering at #ubuntu-bugs [01:46] check this out: http://www.googlubuntu.com/results/?cx=006238239194895611142%3Au-ocqbntw_o&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8&q=when+I+plug+in+headphones%2C+i+still+have+sound+coming+out+from+speakers+%28and+heaphones+also%29&as_qdr=all&sa=Google+Search&lang=en [01:47] tehowe_: Then you should use ppa-purge to make sure that anything from the old ppa is removed, then add the new ppa. [01:47] ever since I upgraded my laptop to 12.04 I've had problems with google/ubuntu.osuosl.org failing to resolve randomly. Doesn't happen on my 11.10 desktop (which I havn't upgraded yet). I have tried digging my dns servers from 12.04 via CLI, and it fails sometimes as well, but I can't reproduce on 11.10. Any ideas? [01:47] Jordan_U: Ok I'll look that up thx [01:47] heyOH_: I had that problem too at one point. I'm trying to find what I did to fix it. [01:48] Grivvel: :) [01:48] hey, anyone know how to report a bug? [01:48] ClientAlive: oh... I'll check it out [01:48] i mean, i know how to.. but it's not a specific bug.. or wait [01:48] right on [01:48] i don't know what to do on the report === jon__ is now known as talloaktrees [01:48] tehowe_: You're welcome. [01:49] can anybody please help me ? [01:49] so it appears that when i install grub to the usb key it is always looking to system boot for grub.cfg. wtf? [01:49] shafeeqes: how can i help? [01:49] heyOH_, i had same issue, headphone does not mute audio out, i had to disable "plug&play os" in the bios [01:50] this USED TO WORK... [01:50] please tell me that how can i install gnome3 desktop in ubuntu 11.10 + @joseluis64 [01:50] OerHeks: eh... I have a laptop... And - btw - in 11.10 it workes fine [01:50] shafeeqes: ubuntu 11.10 already uses gnome 3.2 specific [01:50] shafeeques: just do this in command line: sudo apt-get install gnome-session [01:51] xangua : i need the default desktop in fedora [01:51] !nounity | shafeeqes [01:51] shafeeqes: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [01:51] heyOH_: Can you type this in the console and let me know if anything prints? "lspci -v | grep snd-hda-intel" (without the quotes) [01:51] i mean my ubuntu should look like fedora. [01:51] Grivvel: I have an intel ha audio card [01:52] !notunity | shafeeqes [01:52] shafeeqes: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [01:52] shafeeqes: why should it? [01:52] how do i disable grub from using an embedded config file????? >:( [01:52] yes, with realtek drivers [01:52] a few specific questions on booting from EFI (on mac)... is it necessary to install grub-efi-amd64 from the livecd? Is a kernel patch necessary? [01:52] Anyone knows how do I manuall failover with keepalived? [01:52] anybody on making aliases that work for root and user when you have to use sudo in one and not the other? I'd like to use identical alias names for both root and user. [01:52] hey, i have already installed gnome3 desktop in ubuntu 11.10 . but now i'm going to install 12.04 (not upgrade) ,so how can i get the same in it ? [01:53] shafeeqes: the same way yo did in Ubuntu 11.10 [01:53] Grivvel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/954040/ [01:53] joseluis64 : i forgot that :'( [01:54] hi all [01:54] Hello subb1 [01:54] planning to install 12.04. I have system with 4G Ram. What is the preferable size of /tmp partition that I should give? [01:54] shafeeqes just make the clean installation you want, and then install the gnome shell as told [01:55] JonEdney, good day ! [01:55] shafeeqes : in terminal sudo apt-get install gnome-session [01:55] Hmmm... Come to think of it, This last time I DIDN"T let it do updates while installing, Maybe it missed soem updates it needed for a good installa!? [01:56] heyOH_: Sorry, my other computer crashed. Just a moment while it reboots and I'll finish getting you the info :P === ulkesh|away is now known as ulkesh [01:57] joseluis64 : ok thanks. :) [01:57] Hey, could anyone help me with a bug report? [01:57] shafeeqes you're welcome [01:58] my ubuntu one account is syncing very slow.... I mean, unusually slow [01:58] 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] subb1: are you asking about swap or /tmp? [01:59] gaelfx, /tmp [01:59] heyOH_: 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] hello, i would like to know the cmd to open ubuntu one on xubuntu [01:59] via the terminal [01:59] Anyone have any experience making ATI graphics work well? [01:59] heyOH_: Also, is this a Dell computer? [01:59] subb1: why are you making a separate partition for /tmp? [01:59] amigilani : against which program do you want to report a bug? [02:00] Hey.. [02:00] gaelfx, trying new schemes. earlier i used to go with just / on a big single partition and then swap. Just for learning purposes :) [02:01] the login screen [02:01] it's a readability issue [02:01] see, in precise.. [02:01] when the background is really bright [02:01] you can't read the usernames [02:01] tehowe_: it shouldn't hose anything, as for space, just do apt-get install and it will tell you how much space it needs [02:01] amingilani the name of the package is lightdm [02:01] so, would this even count as a bug? [02:01] Grivvel: acer aspire 5920g. no snd-hda-intel with grep [02:02] the fact that a white background renders the text unreadable? [02:02] amingilani i think so [02:02] heyOH_: you can do a sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel [02:02] subb1: 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 /tmp [02:02] cool! [02:02] thanks! [02:02] subb1: I could be wrong about that though [02:02] InferiorHumanOrg: module is laready loaded [02:03] heyOH_: I just got here what is your issue, no sound ? [02:03] amingilani yo may want to change your desktop manager [02:03] heyOH_: 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-intel [02:03] subb1: 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 SSD [02:04] lol, not really [02:04] i kinda like unity.. [02:04] InferiorHumanOrg: sound coming out from headphones and ALSO fomr speakers [02:04] *from [02:04] So, 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) === irdx is now known as irdxafk [02:04] heyOH_: Try adding this to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and restarting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/954050/ [02:04] amingilani: my only major complaint about unity is the inability to autohide the top-panel, it's a pain on a netbook screen [02:04] heyOH_: have you checked the settings in alsamixer maybe there is an option [02:05] heyOH_: (That second line might not be needed. It fixes a similar issue with the microphone.) [02:05] ismarc_netbook: do you know which driver it's loading for your touchpad? [02:05] heyOH_: Wait, there's a typo in there [02:05] Anyone 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 64bit [02:05] lol, i use a netbook too.. ehh.. there's a lot more restrictions than just that.. [02:05] heyOH_: you can try what the other guy told you, also look for an option called 'automuting' in alsamixer [02:05] gaelfx: almost 100% certain it's xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [02:05] i kinda don't like the not being able to move the bar to the right side [02:06] but, i guess i'll live.. [02:06] heyOH_: Second would should just be "acer-dmic", not "acer-aspire-mic" [02:06] gaelfx: It's detected as Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" [02:06] ismarc_netbook: is it possible you accidentally disabled the touchpad in BIOS or using the fn hotkeys? [02:06] InferiorHumanOrg: I've already looked @ lasamixer but nothing useful found [02:06] gaelfx: Fn+F9 (enable/disable touchpad) key has no effect, BIOS doesn't have any settings available for it [02:06] gaelfx, thanks. So i just stick with / on one patition and then swap for the time being? [02:07] heyOH_: ok. then definently try changing your model like the other guy said. [02:07] some models require specific options. [02:07] heyOH_: I would suggest just adding that first line for now and then trying the second if the first doesn't fix it. [02:07] gaelfx: however, the behavior is very much as if it's disabled...evtest shows no events for the input device associated with it [02:07] subb1: I would strongly suggest making a separate partition for /home, since it makes reinstalling much much easier [02:07] so I'm trying to reinstall video card drivers and keep getting this message: "sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory" [02:07] is that common? [02:07] Grivvel: added... let me reboot [02:07] imacinto: what drivers, and how are you trying to install ? === ThomasBoxley_ is now known as ThomasBoxley [02:08] ismarc_netbook: does it show up in lsusb? also, what laptop model is this? [02:08] gaelfx, thanks... so shall i go with diff partition for - / , /home , swap.. would that be fine? [02:08] InferiorHumanOrg: I'm following the commands in this thread (third post down, "hasen j") [02:09] in this thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33092/how-well-do-ati-drivers-work-with-unity [02:09] subb1: that's what I usually do ;) [02:09] can anyone help me figure out a mv command? [02:09] gaelfx: Doesn't show up in lsusb and it's a Toshiba NB505 netbook [02:09] hi 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] I want to to move all jpgs from a directory (and all recursive sub dirs) to another dir with mv [02:09] subb1: your / partition doesn't need to be too big, 10GB is usually more than enough, though I usually go with 20GB just to be safe [02:09] InferiorHumanOrg: when I tried to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, I got that message five times [02:09] !info apparmor [02:09] apparmor (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 kB [02:10] imacinto: why don't you want to use the binary driver, it will perform better [02:10] gaelfx, great. just the suggestion what I needed ! I have a 500G hdd.... [02:10] subb1: haha, then 20GB definitely shouldn't be a problem [02:10] InferiorHumanOrg: when I tried to install the binary driver, something went wrong. all I can get to now is the command line [02:11] subb1: also, most people make swap twice the size of their physical RAM [02:11] imacinto: how did you try to install it, with the GUI app ? [02:12] InferiorHumanOrg: yes, from the "Drivers" dialog [02:12] imacinto: which card? [02:12] InferiorHumanOrg: ATI Radeon [02:12] amingliani: is not about the desktop environment is about the desktop screen, you may want to change lightdm to gdm [02:13] I believe it's a Radeon HD 6290 based on what I'm seeing from lspci [02:13] Grivvel: sound work ONLY form headphoines now [02:13] no one? =( [02:13] imacinto: can you be more specific ? lspci | grep VGA [02:14] InferiorHumanOrg: yes -- "VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6290]" [02:14] heyOH_: When you unplug the headphones sound doesn't come from the main speakers? [02:14] amingliani : my mistake is not dektop screen is login screen [02:14] imacinto: ok -- hold please [02:14] ok [02:14] heyOH__: Can you start alsamixer and make sure it isn't muted? [02:15] imacinto: desktop or laptop ? [02:15] wlightning: I wasn't in here when you asked and might be able to help, what's up? [02:15] Grivvel: every channell is @ 100% [02:15] InferiorHumanOrg: it's a netbook; Acer Aspire One 722 [02:15] imacinto: ok [02:16] Hello 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] how can i change the highlight color in 12.04? [02:16] gaelfx, but I read that 2* RAM convention is not that required... [02:16] heyOH__: Can you click on the speaker icon in the upper-right, click "sound settings", click on speakers, and click "Test Sound"? [02:17] heyOh__: Then click some of the "Test" buttons and see if it works [02:17] imacinto: which ubuntu version 11.10, 12.04 ? [02:17] subb1: it isn't required [02:17] gaelfx, usually depends on one's work load it seems... [02:18] Grivvel: tests works with headphines but not with speakers [02:18] Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [02:18] Bus 002 Device 002: ID 2166:6649 [02:18] Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [02:18] Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub [02:18] anyone can help me ?

[02:19] Grivvel: I'll keep headphones and speakers no ty for your time/support till now [02:20] hi all,why ubuntu 12.04 doesn't saving the screen brightlight setting? [02:20] only headphones is the most use I do with my laptop [02:20] sw0rdfish: either do lspci if its built in to the computer, or lsusb if its an adapter [02:20] ismarc_netbook, DNS is failing to resolve about 20% of the time =/ [02:20] I'll find a fix later [02:20] ;) [02:20] that'll give me the name of the driver? christhisisgool [02:20] ismarc_netbook, I can reproduce via dig every 100 or so tries (when querying comcast dns server directly)... [02:20] sw0rdfish: i believe so [02:20] well its an intel one [02:21] i dunno why wireless stopped working when i upgraded to 12.03 [02:21] 12.04* [02:21] ismarc_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 testing [02:21] InferiorHumanOrg: I believe it is a 64-bit processor [02:21] imacinto you can run uname -m [02:21] heyOH__: Sorry I couldn't help more :( Found a link that might be relevant for you to look at later though: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1521317 Good luck! [02:21] wlightning: Do you know what your DNS server is set to and if you have packet loss in general? [02:21] to figure it out [02:21] Grivvel: :D [02:21] InferiorHumanOrg: oh, cool. thanks. it returns i686 [02:22] hey, is there a way to set the unity 2D launcher to auto hide? [02:22] ismarc_netbook, hmm... havn't checked that.. lemme mtr and see [02:22] imacinto: ok one minute [02:22] sure thing [02:24] Im 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] ismarc_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 documentation [02:24] Hello 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] gaelfx: Haven't looked yet, will take a look [02:25] nimbiotics: what is bt5? [02:25] gaelfx: `back track 5, r2 [02:25] ah, cool [02:25] nimbiotics: side-by-side means they will be on the same drive, but they can't be on the same partition [02:26] imacinto: 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 try [02:26] gaelfx: THX [02:26] Hello all. I installed Ubuntu 11.1 over a my windows partion and it keeps wanting to boot into Windows. Why is that ? [02:26] InferiorHumanOrg: ok [02:26] InferiorHumanOrg: I think it says that because it should work for both 32 and 64-bit [02:26] gaelfx: yea thats what im thinking too. thanks [02:27] Running 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? [02:28] InferiorHumanOrg: it's running now, downloading [02:28] imacinto: ok [02:28] anyone know? [02:28] ok, that just finished [02:28] What is the real difference beween the 'buntu's? Besides lighter desktops? Some programs work the way I like on ubuntu, but not on xubuntu. [02:29] CellTech: xubuntu uses xfce [02:29] InferiorHumanOrg: it finished saving, do I need to run it somehow now? [02:29] But how would that effect program performance? [02:29] Aberon: What do you mean by "installed Ubuntu 11.1 over a my windows partion" and "keeps wanting to boot into Windows"? [02:29] imacinto: yes, now run this first.. sudo apt-get install dh-make dh-modaliases execstack [02:30] InferiorHumanOrg: ok [02:30] Jordan_U, well installed Ubuntu over my Windows HDD. Shouldn't have said partition [02:30] aberon did you unstall by wubi [02:30] Ok. I'm going lubuntu testing now. ttyal [02:31] Aberon: 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] 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] ismarc_netbook, sorry 'bout that... switched to wired...and it looks like the second of my dns servers is getting 50% packet loss [02:31] InferiorHumanOrg: dh-make, dh-modaliases, and execstack are already the newest version. it also said that dkms was automatically installed and no longer required [02:31] imacinto: ok thats fine. [02:31] ismarc_netbook, is there any way to leave DHCP on, but specify the dns servers manually? [02:31] Jordan_U, When I boot up, there is an error saying that Windows is missing. Which obviosuly is because it isn't there [02:32] imacinto: run this, sudo sh amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise [02:32] only under my default login... works great w/ another login or guest [02:32] wlightning: 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 way [02:32] Aberon: Did you use automatic partitioning in the installer or did you specify partitions manually? Do you have more than one hard drive? [02:32] InferiorHumanOrg: ok [02:32] ismarc_netbook, k... yeah... it's just since 12.04 which has some kind of weird dns proxy thingy [02:33] anyone have a very slow transmission in 12.04? [02:33] jordan_U, standard automatic [02:33] it's stalling and overall a little slow after like 20 torrents.. =[ [02:33] Sixmsj: downloading 20 torrents at once ? [02:33] Aberon: I asked two questions :) [02:33] they're all seeding InferiorHumanOrg [02:33] InferiorHumanOrg: Uncompressing... and now it's going into an installer [02:33] help 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? [02:34] i'm transfering torrents over from an old computer [02:34] wlightning: Yeah, I upgraded from 10.04 yesterday, so I'm still coming up to speed on some things [02:34] jordan_U, o sorry, yes I do [02:34] Sixmsj: idk then [02:34] InferiorHumanOrg: 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"? [02:35] there are no good torrent clients other than utorrent =[ [02:35] imacinto: you do what distro specific package I believe [02:35] Aberon: 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] qbittorrent is good [02:35] Sixmsj: transmission works fine for me [02:35] i like it a lot, its almost identicle to mutorrent [02:35] imacinto: /want [02:35] Sixmsj: transmission is awesome [02:35] transmission [02:35] try that [02:35] Jordan_U, I tried to but I couldn't even see the hdd that I installed ubuntu on. [02:35] I really do like transmission- can even control it from my android. [02:36] Anyone want to help w/ a Unity/Login issue? [02:36] anyone know if xorg.conf settings will take for a output that xrandr doesn't show? [02:36] InferiorHumanOrg: exactly, it's so much easier to control than others [02:36] Aberon: 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] imacinto: just go with whatever the default options are and it should create some .deb files [02:36] InferiorHumanOrg: hmm... ok [02:37] wlightning: 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 are [02:37] Jordan_U, o lord lol. I did a ubuntu install on my lappy and it wasn't this fustrating. Even Arch [02:37] ismarc_netbook, [02:37] wlightning: (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] InferiorHumanOrg: installation path? /? [02:37] ismarc_netbook, ah.. okay... that should work for now [02:38] Aberon: 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). [02:39] imacinto: 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/precise [02:39] Jordan_U kk. I shall work on [02:39] it [02:39] 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. [02:39] imacinto: note the --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise [02:39] hello [02:39] I have both Win7 and Ubuntu when I start my computer I don't get the option to select to boot Ubuntu? [02:39] Any help? [02:39] help 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? [02:39] cleric: Do you have more than one hard drive? [02:39] I did it, i ditched windows, and reformatted my hd for Ubuntu! No windows garbage any more. Purely Ubuntu! :) [02:39] Jordan_U: I have just one hardrive. [02:40] Jordan_U: How do I fix the Grub? [02:40] cleric: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt which it produces. [02:40] InferiorHumanOrg: oh I see. I forgot to set the --buildpkg flag, so I was getting a whole different experience [02:40] !bootinfo | cleric [02:40] cleric: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [02:40] imacinto: yea you need the --buildpkg part [02:40] I aborted, now it's generating package. this seems better [02:40] imacinto: yes, you are close! [02:40] gaelfx: Arch documentation led me to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20830, which describes the behavior I'm seeing...time to add a config section for X, reload and hope for the best [02:41] Jordan_U: I am currently in Win7, I can't run shell commands in here. [02:41] imacinto: after pkgs are generated you can run. sudo dpkg -i *.deb [02:41] How do i access Nvidia X Server Settings ?? [02:41] john38: nvidia-settings [02:41] cleric: Can you boot from a LiveCD/USB? [02:41] I'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 driver [02:41] ismarc_netbook: good luck! I hope it works out [02:41] InferiorHumanOrg, im on Precise [02:41] ismarc_netbook, that explains why it never was an issue until now [02:41] john38: yea, run nvidia-settings in a terminal :-O [02:41] Jordan_U: I don't have the CD, so I guess I have to download it just to fix a tiny detail? === good is now known as good_future [02:42] Does 12.04 server have an installation log or upgrade log? Console says I have errors and is still showing 11.10 version [02:42] I suppose that I'm not really repairing a driver, I'm installing one from the internet. [02:42] imacinto: usually the gui program works pretty good to just install binary/proprietary drivers for you [02:42] imacinto: correct. [02:42] is there a VNC viewer that will display my iPhone display smoothly, and display streaming video like youtube? [02:42] why not what i say can be display ? [02:42] cleric: 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] Areckx: you want to view your iphone's screen on your pc ? [02:43] InferiorHumanOrg:: yes [02:43] Jordan_U: I will try that, I already have Cygwin. [02:43] Areckx: I've never seen any VNC that shows videos well [02:43] Areckx: ah ok, no idea how to do that sorry. [02:43] Jordan_U: Btw, how can I get my data from Ubuntu, I have some really important stuff? [02:43] 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 stuff [02:43] it sure does seem to take a bit to generate a package [02:43] <_Tristan> Hello. 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] imacinto: yea. it might take awhile especially on a netboot [02:43] imacinto: yea. it might take awhile especially on a netbook [02:43] <[deXter]> Areckx, you might have better results with RDP or NX.. [02:44] I think Precise has problem with Twinview TV displays [02:44] help 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] [deXter]:: Are there any other ways, such as USB connecting? [02:44] [deXter]:: What are those? [02:44] The_Rufus: did your /etc/samba/smb.conf change some how ? [02:44] cleric: 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] <_Tristan> Hello. 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] InferiorHumanOrg: Nope. no changes at all [02:44] [deXter]:: vinagre? [02:45] Areckx: why do you need to see your iphone screen on your computer anyway ? [02:45] _Tristan: yesh [02:45] Jordan_U: Thanks a ton, I will try it. [02:45] cleric: You're welcome. [02:45] <_Tristan> Aberon: When would you recommend I install 12.04? [02:45] _Tristan: well, yes and no. In general, if things are working with what you've got now, I wouldn't bother upgrading for a while [02:45] InferiorHumanOrg: ok, the package generating is now finished! [02:45] InferiorHumanOrg:: Some things work better on my iPhone for streaming video, such as PPS(the website isn't as simple as the app [02:46] three .deb files have been successfully generated [02:46] how to install a bin? [02:46] and is there a way to make my laptop speaker play the iphone audio? [02:46] Areckx: im missing what your saying, you prefer to watch video on your iphone than your pc >.< ? [02:46] imacinto: ok, sudo dpkg -i *.deb [02:46] _Tristan: You can if you want to, but I have to reinstall ubuntu because I upgraded to 12.04 [02:46] InferiorHumanOrg:: yes, because the iphone app is simpler and faster than the website [02:47] Alright 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] I guess it's a dead end [02:47] InferiorHumanOrg: ok, cool. I got a few warnings about skipping creation of certain files because associated files don't exist [02:47] Is anyone else having Twinview display problems with Nvidia and Precise [02:48] arkaniad: sudo apt-get purge program [02:48] john38: many, from what I've heard [02:48] imacinto: but it worked ? [02:48] InferiorHumanOrg: and now it's finished. the last thing it reported is "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" [02:48] I didn't get any errors or beeps, so I believe that it worked [02:48] InferiorHumanOrg:: What I really need to get is an hdMi cable [02:48] imacinto: ok run this to make a config for xserver sudo aticonfig --initial === DrPepper is now known as DPAVENGER [02:49] Areckx: yea, idk much about iphone since I use android, but if you can just get an hdmi cable do that. [02:49] xserver: command not found [02:49] amazinghow much faster things go whenyou can reliably resolve dns domains [02:49] imacinto: sudo aticonfig --initial is the command [02:49] oh. hehe. ok, my bad [02:49] gaelfx, purged empathy, no change. [02:49] I guess I'll just watch my video on my laptop [02:50] done [02:50] it's better quality... for now [02:50] until I can get my hands on an hdmi cable [02:50] Areckx: order it from monocable.com [02:50] cheapest place in the world and they are good cables too. [02:50] InferiorHumanOrg:: I'll bookmark that, I have no money now though heh heh [02:50] Anyone up for helping me figure out this Unity3D issue?? [02:51] Areckx: I got a 50 foot hdmi cable for $25, stores near me charge like $25 for a six foot lol [02:51] I don't think monocable.com is the right url [02:51] yeah it's not lmao [02:51] Anyone know if theres a location for empathy system logs? [02:52] yea sorry its monoprice [02:52] as in, connection errors and such [02:52] monoprice.com [02:52] monoprice.com [02:52] I was thinking "mono" and "cables" haha [02:52] hah, fair enough. btw, aticonfig finished up, not sure what to do with it now [02:53] imacinto: what does "fglrx" no quotes return ? [02:53] woah only 2 bucks for a 1.5 foot [02:53] you might need to reboot for it to show up. [02:53] fglrx: command not found [02:53] imacinto: ok reboot [02:53] ok, rebooting [02:53] should I try regular boot into Ubuntu? [02:54] Areckx: yea mean and the cables are better than monster cable quality in my opinion [02:54] man * [02:54] imacinto: it should boot you to a gui [02:54] imacinto: if not run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start I think from terminal, or startx [02:54] ok, I picked regular boot from gui [02:54] er from grub [02:54] 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 ideas??? [02:55] system is running in low-graphics mode [02:55] jsmith_: have you tried running.... unity --replace [02:55] nope... will do. [02:55] imacinto: what does fglrx show in terminal ? [02:55] InferiorHumanOrg: 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 login [02:56] hi, 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..)? Put your finger in the hole, hold your breath all night.. you can purify your soul if the temperature is right. [02:56] how can I tell if samba is broadcasting from the command line? [02:56] imacinto: I got that same error [02:56] My sound isn't working. I believe I need the snd-hda-intel module, but after I load it my sound still does not work. [02:56] imacinto: I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so i am reisntalling. Hopefully you figure out [02:56] KornKage: Google is your friend. [02:56] KornKage: google "lyrics " KornKage: if you have an iPhone, "Soundhound" can pick up on melodies very well [02:56] ok... I'll try it out and brb [02:57] The_Rufus: you can find that out on google easily ( I forget ) have you tried restarting samba ? sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart [02:57] Can someone help me fix Empathy / telepathy in 12.04 [02:57] imacinto: what does fglrx show you bud ? [02:57] Aberon: I'm hoping that I get to the bottom of this also :) thank you [02:57] (It won't connect to any jabber services (facebook/gtalk) [02:57] InferiorHumanOrg: restarted, stopped, started, restarted the server, everything [02:57] The_Rufus you can try it out as well.. cant find it [02:57] InferiorHumanOrg: I rebooted and I have this dialog asking me what I want to do. I should exit to console login then? [02:58] i have googled it, and cant find a thing, ezcept for that law site [02:58] hi, 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] InferiorHumanOrg: my options are running in low-graphics mode for just one session, reconfigure graphics, troubleshoot the error, or exit to console login [02:58] <_Tristan> I have a program that wants libgl.so.1, but that file isn't in /usr/lib, it's under /usr/lib/nvidia-current-updates/libGL.so.1 How can I help this program find it's stuff? [02:58] The_Rufus: smbclient -L 127.0.0.1 [02:58] <_Tristan> I tried copying the file into /usr/lib, but then the program just failed to find something else [02:58] imacinto: what happens if you reconfigure graphics option ? [02:58] My sound isn't working. I believe I need the snd-hda-intel module, but after I load it my sound still does not work. [02:59] imacinto: it would be good to know what fglrx says, you can hit ctrl+alt+F5 to change to a different tty and run it [02:59] InferiorHumanOrg: oh well this is a huge tease, I don't have a mouse so I can't even pick anything [02:59] I'll do ctrl+alt+f5 [02:59] imacinto: hrm weird, can you hit tab ? [03:00] nope, arrows and tabs are both disabled, and there aren't any underlined letters in the options to suggest hotkey availability [03:00] imachine i dont have the song, only those lyrics [03:00] PiNinja, you also need the codec module for your variant of hda sound is that loaded/ [03:00] InferiorHumanOrg: fglrx: command not found [03:00] FOUND THE PROBLEM. Apparently i'm a d!ck.... ROFL [03:00] you guys rock [03:00] imacinto: -.- [03:00] and google doesnt find anything but that law site [03:00] imacinto: thats discouraging considering I thought the drivers installed no problem [03:01] 11.10 here. How do I get VLC to install and run? Been using this software for more than a decade and now pfffffffft [03:01] InferiorHumanOrg: yeah, total bummer [03:02] imacinto: what happens if you type, sudo apt-get install fglrx [03:02] gmachine_24: sudo apt-get install vlc [03:02] m,, [03:02] InferiorHumanOrg: "fglrx is already the newest version" === hnsz is now known as hnsz|sleeps [03:03] escott: How do I know which one that is? [03:03] imacinto: yeah dude, well I wish I knew what to do from here but I don't it should be installed, [03:03] Sorry to enter this channel, I do not know any English, but the channel in Brazil no one answered, so I ended up getting into this. I'm using Google translator, thenexcuse incoherence in writing! [03:03] I have a problem in Ubuntu 12.04, just do not really know what to do. The only solutions were to put a bug in the 'launchpad' and come here to talk about this problem too! Someone who can help? [03:04] i cant play movies on my ubuntu 10.4 can someone help me? [03:04] PiNinja, lspci or lshw will tell you what the manufacturer of the chip is. [03:04] InferiorHumanOrg: hmm. do you know where I might find the binary for it? maybe it's installed but it's missing the path or something [03:04] InferiorHumanOrg: no dice... can't even get terminal to open... gave me an internal error with the message "nautilus crashed with SIGABRT in raise()" [03:04] imacinto: do a sudo updatedb && locate fglr [03:04] escott: I know it is Nvidia. [03:04] fglrx [03:05] PiNinja, didnt think nvidia made a hda chipset [03:05] imacinto: wait sorry, Im stupid, run fglrxinfo [03:05] i cant get my movie to play can someone help me? [03:05] imacinto: my bad haha [03:05] escott: I'm using an HDMI cord. [03:05] hah, no worries. "Error: unable to open display (null)" [03:05] ImTheDude: are you missing a codec? what are you trying to play it with? [03:06] im trying to play the movie in vlc [03:06] imacinto: ok, so idk why its not working, you can try running sudo dpkg -i *.deb from ~/ati again [03:06] to try installing the drivers again [03:06] ImTheDude: do you know what codec the video uses? Does anything show up? Error message? Grabled video? audio? [03:06] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [03:07] Tenho um problema com o lançador do Ubuntu 12.04 quem pode me ajudar? [03:07] hello [03:07] I have a problem with the launch of Ubuntu12.04 who can help me? [03:07] hi [03:07] hi [03:07] hi [03:07] root_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:07] hello everyone! i am PartyBOT v2.0, a mIRC Channel Bot by Dude. type "^help" in the channel for channel commands OR type "/msg partyboy help" for msg commands. [03:07] PiNinja, why dont you !paste the output of the output of lshw -C sound [03:07] PiNinja, also paste lspci [03:07] benjamindaines: no thing happens in vlc it just doesnt play [03:07] wtf is xchat [03:08] InferiorHumanOrg: ok, doing that. Building initial module for 3.2.0-24-generic-pae "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.0-24-generic-pae (i686)" [03:08] root_: you running root user? [03:08] yea why [03:08] hello everyone! i am PartyBOT v2.0, a mIRC Channel Bot by Dude. type "^help" in the channel for channel commands OR type "/msg partyboy help" for msg commands. [03:08] idk what is xchat [03:08] root_: You shouldn't run an IRC client as root. [03:08] why [03:08] imacinto: yea idk what that means im afraid we are above my expertise here. [03:09] xchat is an irc client [03:09] irc i dont get it [03:09] <_Tristan> I always run my IRC clients as root, and I typically pipe their output to a shell just to see what happens. [03:09] InferiorHumanOrg: ah, bummer. so we've found the end of the road [03:09] imacinto: you can try reposting your question with what we have done before, or start a forum topic about it to get additional help. [03:09] benjamindaines: is there more to download then just vlc is there a other stuff to downlaod to get it to work? [03:09] i know how to make it work vlc [03:09] running root raises porential security risks that are totally avoidable by running regular iser [03:09] InferiorHumanOrg: I'll probably just reinstall Ubuntu. thankfully my install is less than 12 hours old [03:09] imacinto: sort of, I just don't know what else to do since it seemed like it worked before [03:10] iser = user [03:10] Hi! I'm having some troubles, whenever I try to access the update manager, it doesn't come up. In the panel, it says something about error 13, permission denied, and about unmet dependencies (altthough it doesn't specify the package). [03:10] imacinto: well if it failed to install with hardware drivers (and we just tried manually) I guess you could reinstall [03:10] but it might fail again [03:10] imacinto: if you didn'te before, I suggest you make a separate /home partition this go around [03:10] how do i make a user [03:10] ImTheDude: I assume other videos work, yes? I'd suggest findind out what codec the video is (divx, H.264, etc) and search for a plugin. Normally VLC should play anything you throw at it, but you may have a funky or corrupt file... there isn't too much more I can suggest without knowing more about the file [03:11] gaelfx: ok, I can do that [03:11] JoseeAntonioR: try running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:11] imacinto: sorry I couldn't help you. [03:11] HOW DO I MAKE A USER [03:11] gaelfx: Done that, still not solved. [03:11] root_: adduser username [03:11] !linuxmint [03:11] !caps | root_ [03:11] InferiorHumanOrg: no worries at all, thank you for trying to help [03:11] root_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [03:11] benjamindaines: its a regular movie i was trying to play LIFE OF BRIAN [03:11] YOU GUYS SONT LIKE CAPS [03:12] i smell a troll [03:12] lol [03:12] it's like the worst troll ever, like this isn't even discreet or stringing anyone along [03:12] I AM NEW TO THIS [03:12] root_: Please, stop using lowercase, or your actions will result in a temporal quiet. [03:12] root_: Please stop, this is your last warning. [03:12] ImTheDude: what happens if you right click the file and choose properties (from the file browser)? is there a audio/video tab, and if so does it say anything under codec? [03:12] * gaelfx thinks /ignore is the most useful of all IRC commands [03:12] root_: Sorry, I meant uppercase. [03:13] gaelfx: amen [03:13] what is xchat for [03:14] root_: Xchat is an IRC client, you can use it to connect to an IRC network. [03:14] aaaaaaand /ignore root_ is in effect [03:14] what do you need to connect to that for [03:14] Fresh install of 12.04 and when I login under my 'default' login all I get is a blank screen with wallpaper... no Unity3D, no panel, no launcher. I can't even 'CTL+ALT+T" to get terminal. Everything works great when I login as 'guest' (both 2D & 3D)or on 2d. [03:14] does anyone use debian? can someone kindly assist me ? I have problems with net connectivity. [03:15] hi guys, my ubuntu machine possibly borked itself half way through a release upgrade. It presently boot to grub only instead of a GUI.

If you don't have an Ubuntu support question then please leave. [03:15] o ok [03:16] I have choppy sound in wine, I'm using pulseaudio, what is happening?

[03:16] hello...just did a 12.04 fresh install this afternoon on hardware that has been running 10.04 [03:16] Grub failed to install (not unusual with my hardware) [03:16] Anyone have any experience making ATI graphics work well?

[03:35] navatwo: There is no partition there containing BCD, which is required to boot Windows 7. [03:35] BCD? [03:35] ubuntu suckssssssssssssssssssssssssssss [03:35] pmp6nl: nah, just muting the spdif output since I don't use it and would rather not have a red beam shooting out of my headphone jack [03:35] how come #ubuntu+1 is invite only? Anyway, I am wondering why I can't upgrade to 12.04 - I can't see the option in the Update Manager, and I have selected to be notified about any new release [03:36] Jordan_U: sdb1 has windows on it. [03:36] benjamindaines, ok. Sorry I dont know much about that. maybe try posting on the forums [03:36] wolter: gksudo update-manager -d, is the command I think.. [03:36] wolter, I was wondering the same thing. Same issue with #ubuntu-support [03:37] benjamindaines, 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_HDA [03:37] navatwo: 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] ok, so correction.....I DO have network.....just no DNS ..... whaaa???? [03:37] nice, just updated 12.04 and now I have no sound / aplay -l shows no sound card. intel hd audio ( realtek chip ) any ideas. tried reinstalling alsa-base already [03:37] Jordan_U: it was never a problem until I updated at some point recently. [03:38] su mean what? [03:38] Garr255: Switch user. [03:38] snd_hda_intel is loaded also, tried rmmod and modprobe it again but no luck [03:38] I am using Ubuntu 12.04. Instead on my screen going blank when thresholds have been met in power management, my screen turns white. This also occurs when locking the workstation. Has anyone encountered this or know how to correct it? [03:38] ok,thanks [03:38] navatwo, shouldn't it show up naturally now that 12.04 has been released? It worked with the -d option though, thanks for letting me know [03:38] wolter: depends. [03:38] pmp6nl, yes; it makes no sense [03:38] Guest25790: For instance, "su bob" will switch to the user "bob". [03:38] i just upgraded to 12.04 and my touchpad stopped working (no pointer) [03:38] Hi, everytimes i play with visual animations or other stuffs in ccsm, i lose metacity. Does metacity compatible with ccsm? If not what I need please? Thx :) [03:38] anyone else have this problem? [03:38] Octane: Make sure it is enabled in settings. [03:38] what about sudo? [03:39] Octane, do you have a mouse also plugged in? [03:39] just installed ubuntu.12.04..great....although conky does not seem to work anymore..hell I can not even install all the required packages...any idea? [03:39] Octane, try running the command [$ sudo modprobe psmouse] [03:39] pmp6nl no mouse plugged in. i tried with one and same problem [03:39] navatwo yeah it's enabled [03:39] wolter okay 1s [03:39] pmp6nl: everything works, so I don't think it's an issue with the hda, it just defaults to the spdif output being unmuted. It does the same thing in windows, but under Mac OS it will automatically turn on only when a spdif cable is inserted [03:39] djiefo: Compiz Config Settings Manager is for configuring Compiz. Compiz is a window manager and metacity is a window manager, they cannot both run at the same time. [03:40] yeah nohing afer modprobe [03:40] I found my sound card [03:40] Jordan_U, oh ok! [03:40] I found my sound card's module to be snd-hda-intel and it's codec is ALC888. I have loaded the module, do I have to load something for the codec? [03:40] Jordan_U: think I could just add a custom boot entry? [03:40] hellooooo [03:41] hi [03:41] ok its 12.04 [03:41] i move my mouse around and no pointer but right clicking behvaior does work.... apparently left click doesnt work either [03:41] again same old dirty problems [03:41] navatwo: No, because you're missing critical files needed to boot Windows. Your Windows installation is broken. [03:41] just installed ubuntu.12.04..great....although conky does not seem to work anymore..hell I can not even install all the required packages...any idea? [03:41] i cannot add anything to top panel [03:41] and every single question on askubuntu.com about this issue doesnt have an answer [03:41] i cannot add anything to top panel [03:41] Jordan_U: I have done nothing to change the windows intallation thogh, thus I am confused. [03:41] sudipta it'll help if you say what errors youre getting [03:41] according to the website, clementine version >= 1.0 should come with a spotify plugin, but it's not in the version I just downloaded from software center, which is version 1.0.1. Any idea why? [03:42] hi all. just bumped into a strange issue [03:42] no hibernation option [03:42] navatwo, on what does it depend? [03:42] navatwo: Maybe your Windows System Partition simply isn't mounting for some reason, and thus Boot Info Script isn't listing its files. [03:42] Octane:none...actually.....at least I dont see any....from the cil [03:42] i mean what's this happening? [03:42] Jordan_U, as you say, they cannot both run at the same time, so what I need to keep actions bar while customization? [03:42] no one to answer here also [03:42] navatwo: What is the output of "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ && ls /mnt/"? === seanjean718 is now known as Guest653 [03:43] Hello everyone. I am having a bit of trouble mounting an NFS share into my fstab. Am I missing something here x.x.x.x/path/to/share /path/to/mount NFS defaults 0 2 --- But that isn't working [03:43] djiefo: I don't understand your question. What "actions bar"? [03:43] xpistos there are a million guides online to do this [03:43] Jordan_U: its already mounted [03:44] !precise [03:44] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[03:44] I just installed 12.04. After successful installation, rebooted. At the graphical login, i enetered the password and hit enter, it directs me back to the same login screen again. The password is correct for sure. When I choose text login from tty1 or tty2, i am able to enterin with the same credentials. Kindly help. [03:44] Octane:all the required packages can not be installed [03:44] Jordan_U: sda is a spinning disk, and sdb is an SSD. / and my windows C:\ drive are on the SSD [03:45] Jordan_U so you are Bond here [03:45] can you answer my Q [03:45] any advice on getting my mouse pointer back in 12.04? [03:46] navatwo: What partition do you think is your Windows System partition? (the one containing the Windows bootloader, which is *not* "C:") [03:46] Jordan_U - ^ X Windows Frames - ^ X :) [03:46] Jordan_U: windows boot loader is on sdb1 [03:46] navatwo: What is the output of "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ && ls /mnt/"? [03:47] Jordan_U: http://paste.villavu.com/show/2673/ (/windows/dos/ is where it is currently mounted) [03:48] anyone have any idea why I can't get any sound on 3.2.0-24-generic (x64) with alsa-hda-dkms it worked before I just updated a minute ago. [03:49] navatwo: The Windows System Partition should contain a directory named "Boot" containing among other things a file named "BCD". This partition doesn't have that. [03:50] InferiorHumanOrg: I'm guessing you would have to reenable the alsa drivers for each new kernel install [03:50] Has anyone got xen to work. I think I got everything setup correctly but when I use openxenmanager it wants to connect to a port and I don't have a clue as to where configure this [03:50] I'm disapointed to see on my ubuntu 12.04 only 2 1/2 hours of battery life when I get 4 1/2 out of windows 7.. Earlier, even non unity, versions of ubuntu had very similar battery life. Linux on a laptop, is there any hope? [03:50] InferiorHumanOrg: Oh no. I hate that when it happens. [03:50] InferiorHumanOrg: in other words, whatever you did to make it work before, you have to do again for all new kernel updates [03:50] When I try to hibernate from the menu it says i don't have permission. how fix? [03:51] I am using Ubuntu 12.04. Instead on my screen going blank when thresholds have been met in power management, my screen turns white. This also occurs when locking the workstation. Has anyone encountered this or know how to correct it? [03:51] any clues guys? [03:51] gaelfx: well what I did was, installed alsa-hda-dkms to get it working on 12.04, now I just updated kernel, it built a module and all. but I got no sound now the module is loaded [03:51] subb1: what's wrong? [03:51] Jordan_U, i mean windows frames... Actually it is impossible to customize... It seems that I dont have the windows frames in compiz... [03:52] can you answer my Q [03:52] gaelfx, I just installed 12.04. After successful installation, rebooted. At the graphical login, i enetered the password and hit enter, it directs me back to the same login screen again. The password is correct for sure. When I choose text login from tty1 or tty2, i am able to enter in with the same credentials [03:52] duh everything was right but nfs-common was not installed in 12.04 Odd. I thought it was there by default. [03:52] InferiorHumanOrg: it built the module, but did it actually load that module? [03:52] hello [03:52] gaelfx: yea snd_hda_intel is loaded right now.. just nothing shows up in aplay or alsamixer or anything else [03:52] navatwo: If sdb1 is really your Windows System Partition then it's missing files which are needed to boot Windows. Maybe ##windows can help you restore your Windows System partition. Re-installing Windows would certainly do it, but there may be an easier way. [03:52] Indonesia [03:52] I still cannot get unity to open files in sublime text [03:52] need help with an iptables question [03:52] subb1: no idea, sorry [03:53] InferiorHumanOrg: did you try modprobe on the alsa module?

I tried rmmod snd_hda_intel and modprobing it back no luck [03:54] how to block hosts not ips in iptables [03:54] subb1: did you try selecting a different type of session (ie Unity2d or Unity3d)?

[03:55] thanks [03:55] No problem ;) [03:56] I use an Fvwm-based desktop with mostly Gnome applications, for which I have gnome-settings-daemon running in the background to ensure they're themed correctly and so forth, and a few KDE applications. It seems entirely random as to if a KDE application I start will be themed correctly or not, and I currently don't manually invoke any daemon. Is there an equivalent to gnome-settings-daemon for KDE? [03:56] Also, google didn't help me on this one [03:56] Heya. (apt-get) I'm trying to download and/or get the URL of a package that's installed and at the latest version, but not cached. `apt-get install --print-uris dpkg' and `apt-get install dpkg' just tells me it's up to date and doesn't actually350 [03:56] ... get me anything. (I'm trying to force a reinstall) [03:57] Dimana Indonesian?? [03:57] InferiorHumanOrg: ack, nevermind, I'm being an idiot. Best ignore me (but not /ignore ;)) [03:57] I am using Ubuntu 12.04. Instead on my screen going blank when thresholds have been met in power management, my screen turns white. This also occurs when locking the workstation. Has anyone encountered this or know how to correct it? [03:57] gaelfx: no problem. [03:57] InferiorHumanOrg: I'm guessing you already tried reinstalling the alsa thing? [03:57] is there anyway to stream desktop audio to MP3 (ala nicecast)? [03:58] Hebram: what gpu do you have?

The issue is everything freezes at a random time in X. Does not happen in terminal and is not consistantly timed and will happen whether or not i am running anything. This happens in multiple distrobutions with different kernels etc. [03:58] InferiorHumanOrg: did you try booting the old kernel and see if it still works there? [03:59] gaelfx: gonna try that in a minute, brb [03:59] gaelfx: I can't find any information on it in my searches. [03:59] It also happens if I am in a live environment as well, does not happen in windows [03:59] perprospekt: did you check the system logs for errors at the time the freezes happen? [03:59] yay I can rest easy, done! [03:59] OMFG - updating to 12.04 restored Minecrafts health!! I CAN PLAY AGAIN!!! [04:00] I love you guys :D(no homo) [04:00] odd I can manually mount my NFS share but when I try to add it to fstab I get an error?

[04:04] gaelfx: did a mem test and changed ram sticks, it does get rather warm at times but the fans are running and i took the bottom off and ran it on top of a fan that kept it very cool didnt seem to affect it the only bit really heating up is one heatsink and even that isnt bad :( im very fustrated feel like its my first day [04:04] InferiorHumanOrg: not the first time that's happened, won't be the last!

[04:12] Hello everybody, I seem to have hosed my installation upgrading from 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10, I was curious if the best course of action was to download 12.04 and start over [04:13] System seems to hang whe it runs /scripts/init-bottom [04:13] Sir_Fawnpug: you can fix it or reinstall thats up to you [04:13] Sir_Fawnpug: seems like a fresh install of 12.04 would be alot easier [04:13] megabitdragon: ok, what audio system are you using? alsa oss pulse? [04:14] Hebram: is it version 295? [04:14] how disappointing :( [04:14] can atleast somebody read my message and say "ok wiat" [04:15] !patience | mongo_warrior [04:15] mongo_warrior: 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/ [04:15] I can't seem to install the development versions of nvidia packages because they are marked as 386 [04:15] gaelfx: It doesn't state in the additional drivers dialog [04:15] mongo_warrior: reinstall a package that has that file then? [04:15] Hebram_: open nvidia-settings, it should tell you there [04:15] InferiorHumanOrg, that seems to be a good idea; if boot is screwed up I might as well [04:15] if I want to bindmount read-only, do I still need to remount it? [04:15] celthunder : apt-get seems to ask same library to run [04:15] Anyone familiar with xen on ubuntu? I'm trying to get it working with 12.04. To say I am a little lost is an understatement [04:16] mongo_warrior: dpkg -i [04:16] gaelfx: 295.40 x64 [04:16] zebe42: how far did you get are you doing a domu or a dom0 [04:16] ok I will do that and get back celthunder - thanks [04:16] zebe42: Why Xen? I'm not sure if Xen is officially supported under Ubuntu. [04:17] Hebram_: 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 hardware === schismzoom is now known as _schism_ [04:17] gaelfx: looks like we have come to the same roadblock. I appreciate your time. [04:17] i got to the scroll bar [finally,pardon the delay im entertaining a guest], and in answer to the question that was asked me, the flash or just video question was answered just video from multiple sites. [04:17] Hebram_: have you tried disabling that driver and then re-enabling it? [04:18] celthunder, I think pulseaudio should be the default [04:18] according to the website, clementine version >= 1.0 should come with a spotify plugin, but it's not in the version I just downloaded from software center, which is version 1.0.1. Any idea why? [04:18] gaelfx: No. That was my next course of action after I finish this download I have going. [04:18] Jordan_U, I like the default metacity theme, I want to keep this look, i just want to add some effects on it, so theres any ''metacity look-a-like'' compiz theme? [04:18] megabitdragon: ok then obvious..its not muted you have the right output port set and the speakers are on? [04:18] megabitdragon: er check the obvious first rather === macmartine_ is now known as macmartine [04:19] Jordan_U, I got the deb file installed and all and the daemon is running. I am just a little lost on how to configure it. I tried KVM but it was way too slow [04:19] Jordan_U, asking because I will don't know how to install it anyways... :\ [04:19] gaelfx: Also, when I lock the workstation, the white background will go away after a keypress. Of course, this brings up the login dialog. [04:19] zebe42: How did you run kvm? What is the output of "kvm-ok"? [04:19] celthunder, not sure... the deb package installed a new kernel to load in grub [04:19] celthunder, in the sound settings there are no devices in the output tab and the volume slider is grayed out and at minimum [04:20] gaelfx: Its like all of the pixels are turning on instead of off during a screen blank event. lol [04:20] I'm in the process of upgrading to 12.04, I'm just curious about old config files in ~. Should I remove them? [04:20] megabitdragon: are you on kernel 3.2.0-24 ? [04:20] hi. what do I do if the software center tells that my catalog needs to be repaired, but if cannot because it needs to remove an essential system package ? [04:20] Package libssl1.0.0:i386 cannot be removed [04:20] InferiorHumanOrg i just restarted with 3.2.0-23 [04:20] megabitdragon: interesting, can you check alsa see if it shows your output devices? [04:20] Hebram_: 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-editor [04:21] zebe42: 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] kvm-ok just told me I don't have kvm support.... which is probably why it didn't work. But virtualbox worked [04:21] gaelfx: Thanks again for your help. [04:21] megabitdragon: and still no audio, ? it was working on 23 before ? [04:21] Hebram_: no problem [04:21] anybody 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) [04:22] celthunder, 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 sound [04:22] Jordan_U, I am pretty sure I turned virtualization on in the bios. I've got core i5 in my laptop [04:22] is there a way to speed up video by switching to another environment? if so how do i ac hieve this great mecca? [04:22] lol' [04:22] <_RED_> Hey does any one here know how Asus partitions their hard drives? [04:22] MerlynKorr: depends [04:23] zebe42: What was the exact output from "kvm-ok"? [04:23] depends...hmm... [04:23] _RED_: recovery boot system or something or boot system recovery check fdisk to make sure [04:24] would there be a way to improve video performance in such an environment? [04:24] MerlynKorr: what are you playing video in what de are you using graphics card etc [04:25] Jordan_U, INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions.... sigh... I think I just wasted a whole day [04:25] how do i post the video card stats and only those? [04:25] <_RED_> cltthunder I have a 25GB one factory restore and the main one which is 275GB I know windows has a 100MB one but its not here so im trying to figure out if its built into the 25GB one or the main. [04:25] zebe42: lol thats a bit of a problem [04:25] zebe42: You can still use Virtualbox and get pretty good performance. And unlike Xen, Virtualbox is well supported and easy to use. [04:26] Jordan_U: xen is well supported though i agree kvm is way better...vbox is not exactly fast though. [04:26] I'm not sure how it happened, but for some reason the administrator account that I log into Ubuntu 11.10 with doesn't have any permissions inside the Unity session. I can open a terminal and issue sudo commands with my password, but am restricted inside the GUI. Any ideas????????????? [04:26] anyway im on an acer dual core. [04:26] Jordan_U, doesn't virtualbox also use the cpu virtualization instructions? [04:26] an acer aspire [04:27] <_RED_> celthunder I have a 25GB one factory restore and the main one which is 275GB I know windows has a 100MB one but its not here so im trying to figure out if its built into the 25GB one or the main. [04:27] _RED_: no idea ... i wiped both :) [04:27] can anyone post those video card stats to the acer aspire? [04:27] megabitdragon: yea im not sure what your issure is then, I had the same prob with 24 but going back to 23 should work.... [04:27] InferiorHumanOrg, maybe something with the proprietary ati drivers [04:27] MerlynKorr: there are tons of aspire models [04:28] I'll keep searching [04:28] <_RED_> celtthunder I kinda want the windows intact so I can do some lightgaming like so I just want to keep it intact [04:28] 5534 kind sir [04:28] is maverick still supported ? [04:28] Hello, I have an nVidia gforce 6510 LE card - I get black screen after logging on to 12.04 - no problems with 11.10 - suggestions? [04:28] gaelfx: I removed the driver and am now using the nouveau driver. Problem still exists. [04:28] <_RED_> the geforce 6xxx series doesn't work with 12.04 and when it does its REALLY slow [04:29] zebe42: 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] JZApples: that's how it's supposed to work, you uave to use terminal+sudo to do stuff as "root" [04:29] MerlynKorr: ATI Radeon. HD 3200 gl lol amd drivers are the worst thing since cannibalism. [04:29] _RED_; they going to fix - do you know? [04:29] avis: no [04:29] Hebram: yeah, that's what I figured would happen. You should install gconf-editor if you haven't already and look for power/screen settings [04:29] megabitdragon: yea but nothing should have changed in the 23 kernel... [04:29] but I'm talking normal things that i have done in the past, like mount drives or unlock the user account settings [04:30] <_RED_> fraid not. try a Lubuntu or some thing [04:30] so how do i compensate for this littleblem n gee im hungry lol [04:30] gaelfx, I guess i found a fix to that.. not sure how to do it. [04:30] Hebram: though I'm not totally sure that the problem can be solved from there, you should at least find something that points to where it can be solved [04:30] so, the release update wouldn't come in through the terminal, but when I went to update manager, it showed it downloaded but not installed. so I installed it, restarted, then ran lsb_release -a and it's still saying oneiric... any ideas? [04:30] problem...* [04:30] sudo apter get install gconf-editor [04:30] subb1: what did you do? [04:30] _RED_: ok, thanks for reply - have a good one! [04:30] LOL.. wrong terminal and a typos too [04:30] gaelfx, UPDATE 2 in this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127387/cant-login-through-gui-after-upgrade-from-11-10-to-12-04 [04:30] gaelfx, but I'm talking normal things that i have done in the past, like mount drives or unlock the user account settings [04:31] Jordan_U, celthunder, thanks... I think I'll try another of my computers than :P [04:31] <_RED_> the 6xxx stuff is pretty old your better off upgrading your lappy [04:31] gaelfx, it finally directs to here: https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/sru1/+build/3118994 === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [04:32] where can i get ubuntu compatible web-cam list === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [04:32] where can i find the drivers i used to have?[despair sets in]. [04:32] subb1: well, glad you found something. is it actually working now? [04:33] MerlynKorr: amd.com or the open source ones should be in the repo [04:33] InferiorHumanOrg, Actually I just noticed that it use to work on 0-24 with the proprietary drivers and it stopped after reboot. This doesn't make any sense. [04:33] Hey, Is it possible to remove the Music/Video/Photo folders from the left pane in Nautilus in 12.04? [04:33] is there a way to roll back the drivers on my 12.04 installation? [04:33] gaelfx, no. I installed the .deb package. but it fails when i try to install .udeb package. [04:33] what is the best way to manage installing ubuntu, with lots of local changes on many machines? [04:33] guys should i install xubuntu or lubuntu on my old pc? with 512 mb ram and 64 mb integrated graphics? [04:33] oops sorry... how do i get the repos? [04:34] anyone know how to install ubuntu one on xfce(xubuntu)? [04:34] windowsguy, either, and you always install both! [04:34] i installed already i dunno how to run it its not in my apps list [04:34] <_RED_> set up one install then make an image off the HDD and flash all the computers [04:34] _RED_, how about upgrades? [04:34] _RED_, and online update? [04:34] <_RED_> you make one install customize it [04:35] <_RED_> then make image of HDD [04:35] so, the release update wouldn't come in through the terminal, but when I went to update manager, it showed it downloaded but not installed. so I installed it, restarted, then ran lsb_release -a and it's still saying oneiric... any ideas? [04:35] subb1: what's error when it fails? [04:35] "This pacakge would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources" and then the installation fails. Stock 12.04 when I try to install Samba. How to get around it? [04:36] windowsguy: I personally would prefer xubuntu, but you could livecd both of them and see which is better for you [04:36] I can not load GRUB and therefore I am unable to boot Ubuntu, the only OS I am able to run is WIN7. I tried fixing it with super boot from USB but it says "file not found thingie". What should I do? [04:36] <_RED_> try a diffrent bootloader [04:36] scientes sorry i dont quite understand.. i thought xubuntu uses less memory and lubuntu even less... what i want to know is..will xubuntu run good on 512 meg ram? and sykpe+chrome open at same time? [04:37] rinzler: why not just do a fresh install of 12.04? using the update manager usually has a lot of problems anyhow [04:37] <_RED_> Go for a load in ram distro like Puppy [04:37] windowsguy: xubuntu will run well on 512, but chrome and skype at the same time is a bit much for 512 ram [04:38] windowsguy: skype should be fine, but chrome is a memory hog [04:38] where do i obtain the repos for video/audio? [04:38] well chrome and skype run okaish on my window xp with 512 meg ram [04:38] i thought ubuntu will be better [04:38] @windowsguy it will run... but itll be laggy [04:38] <_RED_> Puppy Linux problem solved [04:38] windowsguy: they'll probably run okish on xubuntu too, but why not upgrade the RAM? [04:38] @windowsguy are you running xfce or unity [04:39] gaelfx: I would just be updating from the iso... I've got a lot of things on my drive that i'm not going to wipe... [04:39] gaelfx, please see - http://pastebin.com/q624ENRG [04:40] I don't have the option to select Ubuntu even though both Ubuntu and Win7 are installed what should i DO? [04:41] rinzler: next time you should put / and /home on separate partitions [04:41] why update manager will not show me the message 'Ubuntu12.04 is available. are you want upgrade?' [04:41] I am using Ubuntu 10.04 [04:41] gaelfx: i'm talking about system configs and desktops... [04:41] cleric_preston: Xd [04:42] gaelfx: or environments, more like... [04:46] hi [04:47] anyone know where to go to know about NLP [04:47] ? [04:47] my hotplug sata isn't working [04:48] padhu1: I don't believe they support upgrading that way from 10.04>12.04, you have to go to the next version, then the next version from that, etc [04:48] I just realized today that you can bind mount individual files [04:48] that's... awesome [04:48] padhu1: or you can just install 12.04 from a CD/USB which is much easier [04:49] gaelfx, padhu1: LTS to LTS upgrades are supported (10.04 to 12.04), but you won't be prompted by default for another few months [04:49] rinzler: did you actually try upgrading from the iso? [04:49] Flannel: really? cool :D [04:49] padhu1: If you want to upgrade now, you'll want to start update-manager with a -d switch. [04:49] gaelfx: no [04:49] not yer [04:49] *yet [04:49] gaelfx: yeah, every other case you would be correct (version -> version+1) [04:50] gaelfx: LTS to LTS upgrade was available when 8.04 to 10.04. My next plan is fresh installation. But only thing is i need all applications installed currently [04:50] gaelfx: So you could go 6.06 to 8.04, and 8.04 to 10.04 and 10.04 to 12.04 (you can't go 8.04 to 12.04) [04:51] Flannel: that seems reasonable to me === ulkesh is now known as ulkesh|away === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [04:51] Flannel: Now i am having Ubuntu 10.04 [04:51] padhu1: actually, you could just upgrade from the iso if you want, but I've never done that so I'm not sure how well it works [04:51] padhu1: Run "update-manager --devel-release" if you want to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 now. [04:52] I have a dozen of pendrives for different versions of ubuntu [04:52] gaelfx: oh [04:52] Jordan: okey [04:52] ubi-partman exits with error code 10 on install. is ther ea fix ? [04:52] GeForce88: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [04:53] is there an ubuntu variant that is using gnome-shell instead of unity? [04:53] Jordan_U, installikng from usb stick. not sure where ubuntu would save this file [04:54] !notunity | cvr [04:54] cvr: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [04:54] subb1: sorry about the late reply, but I've no idea what the error really means [04:55] GeForce88: Simply run "sudo parted -l" and copy / paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com . [04:55] Jordan_U, upon launching ubuntu 12.4 with "install ubuntu to hard disk..." the ubi fails. when i "try ubuntu first" it won't boot period. at first thought this was 12.04 beta issue, but for e problem presists [04:56] GeForce88: When exactly happens when you select the "try ubuntu first" option? [04:56] Jordan_U, thanks I know that i can just install the gnome-shell packages but it really doesn't integrate well and hasnt had any polish love which is why im searching for something based on ubuntu with gnome-shell as the primary shell [04:57] padhu1: also, if you are really worried about keeping your apps, I think you should use ubuntu one, it's supposed to help you do that sort of thing [04:58] Adobe flash Settings Manager dialog box in Ubuntu 12.04 is not click-able, how can I resolve this kind of issue? [04:58] Jordan_U, now i'm getting error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referanced: 3336 [04:58] they should make a flubuntu spin. fluxbox is awesome :D [04:58] Lubuntu 12. rocks. Need GStreamer mpeg-1 codec.. How do I aquire [04:58] Rightclick in any adobe flash video, then click on "Settings". [04:58] gaelfx: is it possible to get the installed applications list to fresh install using apt-get? [04:58] You will then see the problem. [04:58] padhu1: not sure what you mean === ubuntu64bit is now known as happydays [05:00] gaelfx: how can i get the list of installed applications in my machine? [05:00] Jordan_U, ok, when i select "try ubuntu first" nothing happens. when i try install ubuntu ubi-partman fails with error code 10 [05:01] How do you install mono on ubuntu server? I tried installing with "apt-get install mono" but it said "Unable to locate package mono" [05:01] padhu1: that's what ubuntu one is for, IIRC [05:01] chilled_: Change your apt sources.lst [05:01] chilled_: sources.list* [05:02] gaelfx: oh. [05:02] Then run sudo apt-get update [05:02] What source though? [05:02] chilled_: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [05:02] Add in more things. [05:02] sudo apt-add-repository [05:02] is better [05:02] Maya, i know that. But what repository is it? [05:03] chilled_: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ Use that to generate what you need. [05:03] Then use: mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup [05:03] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list Paste, and save. [05:04] chilled_: The package you want is probably "mono-complete". [05:04] going to download text installer and try that [05:04] chilled_: Check in the first 8 boxes. That should be enough for everyone. [05:04] esper.net [05:05] chilled_: Actually, the first 6 boxes. [05:05] Maya: The problem was that chilled_ had the wrong package name, that is all. [05:05] how to find my kernel version? [05:05] rinzler: uname -r [05:05] thx [05:05] You're welcome [05:06] anyone using gnome-do in on 12.04 [05:07] phoenixK: You mean that run command thing in unity? [05:07] hi. what do I do if the software center tells that my catalog needs to be repaired, but if cannot because it needs to remove an essential system package ? [05:07] Maya: yes [05:08] balazs: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install"? [05:08] Hi , Having a problem with screen refresh rate on 12.04 [05:08] http://askubuntu.com/questions/126928/system-reverts-to-87hz-refresh-rate-at-every-startup-after-i-have-installed-nvid [05:08] balazs: If asked to remove anything say "no" for now. [05:08] The system reverts to 87Hz even after I have set it to 60Hz [05:08] How to fix it? [05:10] 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)?? === Garr255 is now known as Guest23316 [05:11] eagle, I'm assuming you have done a > sudo apt-get update [05:12] hey guys i am using ffmpeg, how can i compress a directory ?? [05:13] phoenixK: I guess so, but I heard that uninstalling it can fix my adobe flash problems. [05:13] Problem* === Guest23316 is now known as Garr255_ [05:14] @phoenixK: yes i did but still no luck [05:16] eagle: Try: sudo apt-get clean === Garr255_ is now known as Garr255 [05:18] eagle: Try: sudo apt-get clean [05:20] pratz: could you give a little more detail about what you're trying to do? [05:20] k am trying now [05:20] is there an ubuntu variant that is using gnome-shell instead of unity by default? [05:20] !notunity | cvr [05:20] cvr: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [05:20] gaelfx: I want to compress my Music Directory recursively with ffmpeg, but can not find a way [05:21] gaelfx: i guess i have to use a shell script for this, but i am not quite sure [05:21] writting a script to setup a new desktops/laptop i use, is the best way to find if a package is install 'dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep ' ?> [05:21] why can't i edit my network connections, mount drives, change user accounts, via the gui in ubuntu 11.10 with an administrator account? [05:21] okay so I tried a few things and I now that I can manually mount my network drive with "sudo mount -t nfs 11.10.19.25:/home/nanette/Titan /home/x/Titan" but if I add 11.10.19.25:/home/nanette/Titan /home/x/Titan NFS defaults 0 1 to /etc/fstab, and if get eror messages when I reboot and if I try to "sudo mount -a" and I get an error that says "mount: unknown filesystem type 'NFS'" [05:21] pratz: you mean like batch transcoding, or are you talking about compressing? [05:21] gaelfx: thanks I know that i can just install the gnome-shell packages but it really doesn't integrate well and hasnt had any polish love which is why im searching for something based on ubuntu with gnome-shell as the primary shell [05:21] gaelfx: compressing [05:21] maya: did that then should i do another apt-get update? [05:22] cvr: well, Linux Mint is pretty close I think [05:22] gaelfx: i want to run this command on Music directory recursively "ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp3 -ab 128 outputfile.mp3" [05:23] any ideas why it works manually but not in fstab? [05:24] pratz: don't take this the wrong way but music sounds really bad on mp3 @ 128 [05:24] storage space is cheap my friend and .flac is the way to go [05:24] gaelfx: thx, i'll have to have another look at mint to see what its like [05:24] InferiorHumanOrg: i know dude but those are all old songs and i just want to keep a backup of them [05:24] find . -name '*.mp3' -print | xargs -n1 --replace=SUBFILE ffmpeg -i SUBFILE -ab 128 SUBFILE [05:24] unless you have a ssd [05:25] ssd for main boot drive then grab a 1tb+ for storage. [05:25] :) [05:25] you can use -exec on find but i forgot the syntax, also technically we should use NULL byte as delimiter but this will get you going unless you want to be a purist [05:27] by the way, Unity in 12.04 is a huge improvement over that in 11.10 [05:27] its pretty awesome [05:27] eh [05:27] I found it utterly unusable in 11.10, but now it's nice in 12.04 [05:27] really? [05:27] I gave it a try and RAN back to xfce ;\ [05:27] it is definitely improvement over b1 (that did suck), but still clunky, [05:27] i still like gnome-panel, I do too much multitasking to be able to use unity [05:27] and baxk to xubuntu/xfce [05:28] for an eye candy, yes [05:28] erujolc: yep :-) [05:28] i love how everyone is finally starting to realize unity's potential [05:28] I was using Debian for a while until I decided I wanted to try something new today. [05:29] tjr: debian testing has gnome-shell [05:29] idk I find unity to be as clunky as a 50pound weight. [05:29] JZApples: I don't think it really appeals to most Linux users. [05:29] what is the best way to remove unity? [05:29] try xubuntu it basically ubuntu with a polished xfce (although you can use xfce with ubuntu normal edition) [05:29] THis is not the right channel for such discussions [05:29] go to off topic [05:29] tjf, but i'm a new linux user and like the change [05:29] woo: install xubuntu-desktop or something and then just remove the package for ubuntu-desktop [05:29] for pc with 512 mb ram.. xubuntu or lubuntu? [05:29] ty InferiorHumanOrg === marcelo is now known as Guest87554 [05:30] s/most Linux users/hardcore Linux users/ [05:30] then again, most hardcore Linux users will be using Arch or Gentoo :P [05:30] and what about bodhi linux..anyone tried it? [05:30] sudo make install [05:30] windowsguy: xubuntu should run on 512 but don't quote me on that [05:30] (fail) [05:30] tjf: lol, meant for your terminal i'd guess [05:31] InferiorHumanOrg: true [05:31] windowsguy, lubuntu might be a good one to try and bodhi is a good OS. [05:31] tjf, why would hardcore linux users use arch or gentoo [05:32] pratz: according to the man page, there is no recursive option for ffmpeg [05:32] phoenixK: They're the most customizable, and not exactly easy for new users to figure out [05:32] gaelfx: ya i now that [05:32] sss [05:32] i've used Linux for >5 years, not super long, but long enough for me to know my way around a system, and Arch was difficult to get going [05:33] gentoo is cool if you want to spend your life compiling. [05:33] Took me the better part of a weekend to get xfce working [05:33] pratz: so your best option is probably scripting it [05:33] tjf, can't you be hardcore and use ubuntu :) [05:33] Jordan_U, hi again... I just booted up my non-xen kernel and I get a positive result with kvm-ok [05:34] Hello! I kept my laptop running Ubuntu 11.10 for upgrade to latest LTS release yesterday. But I forgot to connect it to AC supply that in battery mode sometime soon after download or during initial upgrade the laptop powered off. Now I can no longer boot system. I get this error when it tries to boot: : http://paste.ubuntu.com/954275/ [05:34] And hangs in the last line' [05:34] How can I fix it please? [05:34] phoenixK: you can, but arch is a lot more intense, imo [05:34] guys can someone give me link for lubuntu 12.04 torrent? [05:34] oragsy: i'd do a fresh install [05:35] oragsy: I would try doing a fresh install of Precise [05:35] yeah... i guess i'm just a little biased... been using ubuntu since hoary hedgehog [05:35] windowsguy: you should be able to find it at releases.ubuntu.com [05:35] i have a problem installing nntpgrab, saying it needs nntpgrabcore but cant install cause holded packages.. [05:36] is there a simple way to find the model of my graphics card short of opening up my case? [05:36] aight night everyone [05:36] InferiorHumanOrg: gaelfx: But what about the configurations and settings in /home.. Will it remain if I reinstall retaining /home? [05:36] phoenixK: yeah, I understand. I like ubuntu, it's relatively painless compared to other distros, for me at least [05:36] rinzler: lspci | grep VGA [05:36] rinzler: lspci? [05:36] that is ubuntu..i want lubuntu [05:36] oragsy: yea if you don't overwrite it [05:36] InferiorHumanOrg: thx [05:36] InferiorHumanOrg: Ok, I'll try [05:37] ok bed time. night all ;-P [05:37] !info lubuntu-desktop | windowsguy [05:37] windowsguy: lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment.

For one thing, there was a kernel panic. Then when I tried to reboot it went into a grub shell. Now I get errors when I plug in the USB to try to install Ubuntu [05:50] I had that once. [05:50] I reinstalled [05:51] why is ubuntu consuming so much cpu when playing a youtube video http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1522424/cpu-usage-ubuntu-youtube.png [05:51] I think I'm going to have to reinstall Ubuntu on the USB as well [05:51] halfie_: is it flash for webm? [05:51] I'm running vanilla fresh install of 12.04, all I did was apply updates and go to start uninstalling things.... [05:51] *or [05:51] try the html5 version of youtube [05:52] gaelfx: neattoas1 does ubuntu comes with flash pre-installed. I haven't installed flash myself [05:52] youtube's html5 doesn't work here [05:52] i worked for years until... [05:52] after apt-get install vlc-nox, vlc plays movies in ascii-art.

[05:53] any ideas on how to get vlc to use regular video? [05:53] gaelfx: chrome just crashes badly on every youtube page [05:53] halfie_: yeah, chrome should be better [05:53] halfie_: but flash is a cpu hog almost no matter what you're using [05:53] chrome = google's probe for everybody? [05:54] taxman: I could care less what information of mine they're using for advertising, as long people don't come knocking on my door [05:55] Agreed [05:55] you can try HW acceleration for flash [05:55] cvr: does flash for linux have any hw acceleration? [05:55] anybody know where to point me for help with nvidia graphics cards under ubuntu? I'm trying to get the s-video working... [05:56] rinzler: what card are you using? [05:56] Try loading the video into vlc [05:56] *youtube video [05:56] gaelfx: GeForce FX 5200 [05:56] download the video and watch it in your tv [05:56] halfie_: it crashes on youtube pages? that's pretty weird, did you check the log to see what went wrong? [05:57] gaelfx, yeh only for nvidia still i think though [05:57] cvr: figures [05:57] I think I heard about some sort of fix... [05:57] rinzler: are you using the proprietary drivers? [05:58] took around 6 seconds to boot 12.04 on ssd.:D [05:58] gaelfx: just whatever ubuntu supplied me. [05:58] why dont they use xvid in you tube? [05:59] xvid for linux? [05:59] Hi all, I'm having an issue with the gnome-terminal. The opacity level for the solid color seems to be controlling botht the color and the background-image option. 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] its the best stream friendlly codex [05:59] I think they did at one point [05:59] how to split files with bash to 100 mb (wiht cat)? [05:59] rodayo: Try reinstalling gnome-terminal [05:59] rinzler: you might want to try the proprietary drivers, but it also might help if we know a little more about your issue [05:59] CAPITALISMUS, i think they use a mix of H264 + webm [06:00] neatoas1, 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 well [06:00] weird. [06:00] Did you try clearing your past settings? [06:01] neattoas1, how do you do that? [06:01] I'm not too sure, but I would say check your .config folder. [06:01] rinzler: by the way, you need to use 173 nvidia drivers if you do that [06:01] (/home/your_username/.config) [06:01] rinzler: the 295 driver won't work with your card [06:02] gaelfx, sorry. was not at the desk [06:02] gaelfx: 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] I don't care what format they decide on for streaming in the future, so long as it supports toggleable subtitles, I'll be happy [06:03] subb1: not a prob [06:03] gaelfx, not able to scroll back to ur last message. [06:04] rinzler: well, after you plugged in the cable, did you go to Settings>Displays and click detect displays? [06:04] subb1: I think it was just that I don't what to do about it, so it's no big deal [06:05] neattoas1, tried grepping for "terminal" inside ~/.config i don't see anything else that might be related to it [06:05] gaelfx, ok. I'll try to get a fix. let me see. thanks :) [06:05] rodayo, did you check gconf? [06:05] I'm trying to install the ratpoison wm. after install I don't see an option to use it from the initial login. and when I login I only get the blank default desktop pic === siloxid` is now known as siloxid [06:06] gaelfx: it's not giving me an option to do that... [06:06] neattoas1, where's that? [06:06] salut [06:06] gaelfx: I get high cpu usage with chromium too. I am using fglrx driver. [06:06] open the program gnonf-editor [06:06] rinzler: I'm not sure if the nouveau drivers actually support s-video or not, you should at least give the proprietary drivers a shot [06:06] look under apps [06:06] neattoas1, seems i didn't have it...1 sec [06:07] can anyone help me in commande "grep"? [06:07] rodayo, are you sure thats not the expected behaviour? thats the same result I get when playing with it [06:07] cvr, that's really strange then because I remember having a solid background image back when I was using oneiric [06:07] halfie_: I think, like cvr said, hw acceleration for flash is only working with nvidia cards, so all flash content is using cpu instead of gpu [06:08] gaelfx: the proprietary driver is the one that's running... [06:08] cvr, i'm sure the developers meant for you to have that option of a solid bg image [06:09] rinzler: sorry, I thought you said before it was a clean install, so I assumed you hadn't installed the prop drivers [06:09] rodayo, so when u have a background image selected and the slider set to none it doesnt show you a solid bg image? [06:10] How can one copy a file so that the new filename has a current datetime stamp? [06:10] why some games do not get full-screened on 12.04.....? [06:10] gaelfx: well, even in a clean install, it uses the prop drivers by default. [06:10] they were ok till 11.04 [06:10] they were ok till 11.04 and 11.10 [06:10] rinzler: I don't think that's true... [06:10] gaelfx: *shrug* happened for me [06:11] rinzler: ok, what does nvidia-settings say about it then? does the second display show up in there? [06:11] cvr, 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 photoshop [06:11] hi everybody [06:12] why some games do not get full-screened on 12.04..? [06:12] Hey help me, I am running the Ubuntu live CD and Im trying to fix the GRUB [06:12] since i couldn't choose to boot to Ubuntu and it automatically entered in Win7. [06:12] ~my house is bugged [06:12] So how do I fix it? [06:12] gaelfx: no. the display configuration page says that it was unable to load because "Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0." [06:13] kakacka2123: reinstall GRUB loader [06:13] rinzler: are you sure the cable you're using is in working order? [06:13] kakacka2123: if u have ubuntu installed ........reinstall GRUB loader [06:13] rodayo, is the issue visible in a screenshot? if so could u post one [06:13] gaelfx: yep [06:13] ANub: Are you sure? [06:13] is this command true? grep m{2,} file [06:13] ANub: I dont wanna fuck it up any further. [06:13] kakacka2123: if u have ubuntu installed ........reinstall GRUB loader [06:14] cvr, okay just a sec [06:14] and it will work [06:14] kakacka2123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:15] gaelfx: i try to run it with python and ffmpeg say "atleast one output file must be specified" , any ideas ?? [06:15] kakacka2123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:15] pratz: sounds like a syntax problem [06:15] you need to chroot into the installed ubuntu and reinstall grub [06:15] anyone know why ratpoison doesn't show up in the list of wm options in the login screen? [06:15] Why does the installer spend a long time on "restoring previously installed packages"? [06:15] nobody can answer me :(( [06:15] pratz: pb your script? [06:15] i need help [06:16] inoune: commands can't be true or false [06:16] cvr, http://i.imgur.com/TVNso.jpg - notice how the image isn't visible over light surfaces and only the dark ones. that's why the black text gets colored [06:16] inoune: what are you trying to do? [06:16] nless they are bolean [06:16] gaelfx: i will post it, great if you understand python [06:16] yes it didn't work, but what's the mistake exactly? [06:16] hi all [06:16] pratz: very VERY little, but I might be able to see the issue [06:17] hey? [06:17] i wanna search words which contains exactly 2 "m" [06:17] what about this: grep m{2,2} ? [06:18] in 12.04 when i put the cursor on some application in indicator-applet it doesn't show any thing......."like in bittorent it used to show speed"........any ideas...? [06:19] rodayo, yeh that doesnt look right at all.. are u running compiz? which video drivers? [06:19] also right click is exchanged with left [06:19] so ?? [06:19] inoune: the first one you put in should work, according to the man page, what error does it give you when you execute the command? === root is now known as Guest36054 [06:20] cvr, my gfx card is an amd radeon 6600M ... how can i tell if i'm running compiz? [06:21] anyone got nntpgrab working on precise? [06:21] rodayo, ps aux | grep compiz [06:21] when i put that: grep m{2,2}. there is an error: there is any file with type m2 [06:22] cvr, yep it's running. i did use it to disable the unity task switcher cuz i liked the old one [06:22] gaelfx: here http://pastebin.com/5KEjSU9p [06:23] cvr, is it safe to close compiz and see what happens? [06:24] grr, im going to cry. I cant for the life of me figure out why my ubuntu system is losing network access every 30 minutes or so. It only lasts about 30 seconds, but its screwing things up [06:24] pratz: might this line be the problem? [06:24] its a wired connection too [06:24] pratz: target = target_dir + fl.replace(' ','_') [06:25] rodayo, you can log out and then login without the 3d effects and see if it makes any difference [06:25] pratz: I think you need to replace it with '\ ' instead [06:25] its ipv6 [06:25] cvr, login with unity 2d you mean? === krababbel_ is now known as krababbel [06:25] yeh [06:28] Hi. [06:29] Hi! after upgrading to 12.04 my bluetooth shows as disabled and the buttons are "greyed out".....with or without proprietary drivers, how do I resolve it? [06:29] pratz: ack, or possibly you need a / betweein target_dir and fl [06:29] the panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:TomboyApplet" What's this??? [06:30] Question: while installing ubuntu, how can I dissociate the language used by the Installer from the default language of the installed system? Thanks. [06:30] Try again: "This package would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources" and then the installation fails. Stock 12.04 when I try to install Samba. How to get around it? [06:30] guys can i upgrade to 12.04 from an iso [06:31] pratz: you probably also need to do the fl.replace in the next line too [06:31] pratz: instead of just fl [06:31] cvr, no luck. same strange behavior...so guess compiz wasn't the issue [06:33] How do I turn off the keystroke for going into a "command mode" in Unity? [06:33] rodayo_, ahh.. it looks like an issue with the video driver or something, you could try use the open source ati driver see if it makes any difference [06:33] test === smw_ is now known as smw [06:33] cvr, this is gonna be tricky then...i figure i have to disable my old ati driver first/ [06:34] The 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] rodayo_, if you type jockey into the dash and what drivers do u have available there? [06:35] ls [06:35] I guess the easiest fix will be to install a sane windows manager like gnome [06:35] cvr, is that a command line program too? i sorta disabled the short cut for the HUD too =P [06:36] bridean: when have you ever run into an insane window manager? === root_ is now known as aldwinaldwin [06:37] rodayo_, jockey-gtk you can run from a terminal or alt-f2 [06:37] Does anyone know how 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? [06:37] bridean: pratz does any of that help, or am I totally python illiterate? [06:37] 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] siloxid, 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 do [06:37] what was the name of the gnome2 fork again? it recently got a new name [06:38] siloxid: MATE I believe [06:38] bridean: oh yeah I forgot how much I hate unity [06:38] siloxid: and I think you need to use it in conjunction with cinnamon, but I could be wrong [06:39] gaelfx: is that a yerba mate joke? [06:39] i'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 start [06:39] rodayo_, i think the first one is the version when the version ubuntu was released, and post-release has an updated version [06:39] Basically, 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 view [06:40] after 30 hours, finaly have an 12.04, even cleaned all my partitions to start from zero ... even then ... have troubles with Grub :( [06:40] siloxid: possibly, but I was being serious [06:40] siloxid, I hope unity doesn't become so ubiquitous that it becomes difficult to switch to gnome or kde [06:40] bridean: 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 minutes [06:40] cvr, hope this works then. these weren't open source drivers btw. the description calls them "proprietary" [06:40] bridean: 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. [06:41] rodayo_, ahh.. try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver for the OS driver [06:41] Garp: a UI where you click on a "home" icon and search google-style for the app you are hoping to run is insane [06:41] Garp, 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] Garp: especially when it's a brand new system and you have no way to know what's installed yet [06:42] cvr, so cancel this one then? [06:42] bridean: 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] what they should have done was take a note from games and make a tutorial [06:42] Garp: 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 unity [06:43] Garp: 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] Garp: the mac os interface has always been ridiculously easy. point and click on everything [06:44] Garp: how do you point and click on gnome-terminal in unity? [06:44] Garp: and windows, gnome<3 and kde likewise [06:44] bridean: 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] How 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? [06:45] hello [06:45] what is the desktop channel ? [06:45] Can you guys help me with audio problems here? [06:45] siloxid: 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. [06:46] rectec, ask your question.. and you might get an answer. === Owner__ is now known as Guest20151 [06:46] Garp: In previous interfaces, I was able to figure out how to do things without going into chat and asking people [06:46] I 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 ? [06:47] Lil, Ok. Just don't wont to get shunned over to a pulseaudio channel. [06:47] cvr, looks like a lot of work =P i'll try it out tmrw. thanks for the help =) [06:47] Garp: the fact that some new things are a paradigm shift doesn't cross paths with the crappy UI that is unity [06:47] Are there any good command-line dictionary tools available? En-en is basic requirement [06:47] cfoch, 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 though [06:47] I find unity ok. even faster than gnome 2.x [06:48] in terms of workflow [06:48] rectec, Understandable. It's doubtful I can help.. but the ppl here will help if they can, on any kind of question. [06:48] I'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] Garp: 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 folks [06:48] Lil, of course :) [06:48] I 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 11.10 [06:50] <__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] __eagle__: no. I just run apt-get update [06:50] is the top-panel supposed to show up on the lock screen? [06:51] is there any command like unity --reset in 12.04 ? [06:51] When 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] How can I stop Precise from disconnecting my second VGA monitor when I close my laptop lid? :S [06:51] cfoch: should ne [06:51] *be [06:51] aldwinaldwin, How about reinstalling grub? [06:51] rectec: is it grub 1 or grub2 ? [06:52] Mayazcherquoi: you have to make it so that when the laptop lid is closed, the screens are not turned off, probably have to use gconf-editor [06:52] I¨ve just run unity --reset and it closed unity :( [06:52] I¨ve lost the window borders [06:52] aldwinaldwin, Which version of Ubuntu do you have? Both grub1 and 2 use the same install command [06:53] siloxid: 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] cfoch: probably need to restart your session [06:53] I'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 luck [06:53] rectec, just clean installed ubuntu 12.04 with a lot of problems, ... was used to Lilo, now had to read a lot about Grub. [06:54] gaelfx: Yeah, but what setting? :-/ [06:54] hy 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 it [06:54] ok [06:54] Garp: 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? [06:55] aldwinaldwin, 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] rectec, already have done following : grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda [06:55] last question before I restart my session... what folder is unity apperance configuration in ? [06:55] Mayazcherquoi: can't remember exactly which one, can't you search for 'lid'? [06:55] aldwinaldwin, have you ran update-grub? [06:56] rectec, no, not yet ... but if it is grub2, then I know already which tutorial I need to read and try [06:57] salve [06:57] rectec, grub1 config and grub 2 config files is very different it seems [06:57] ho un problema , chi puà aiutarmi ^ [06:57] ? [06:57] può* [06:57] aldwinaldwin, well i hope it works for you. if not, i'm still here and still have some ideas. [06:57] rectec, thank you, i'll keep you informed [06:58] hi [06:58] I'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] gaelfx: dude can you suggest any more tools for audio compression [06:58] aldwinaldwin, ttyl [06:58] gaelfx: as i am running out of time now [06:58] is 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] siloxid: 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] iivvoo: Try middle clicking a window if you have a touchpad [06:59] Hello, 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] :scan [06:59] shape: are you root? [06:59] hey! [06:59] neattoast: yes I ran sudo gconf-editor [07:00] Garp: interesting. I have more apps on my smartphone (300+) than I do on my main desktop (about 40) [07:00] pratz: well, VLC is usually pretty good for that stuff, but AFAIK it just uses ffmpeg [07:00] I want restart my session but I don¨t have the option to close the session S: [07:00] neattoast: And it worked but I can only see the close button on the right. [07:00] any command to get it ? [07:00] rectec, fyi : http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html (http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html) [07:01] shape: weird... [07:01] Did you try using a metacity configurator? [07:01] gaelfx: i have no idea how to do it with vlc ? [07:01] aldwinaldwin, handy, but why would you need a tutorial? grub2 works out of the box for me... [07:01] neattoast: yeah. I think it's a bug, but I just installed the damn thing :( [07:01] neattoast: no idea what that is? [07:01] shape: No, I was thinking xfce :) [07:01] one sec, booting to ubuntu :) [07:01] neattoast middle-mouse doesn't seem to do any resizing [07:01] siloxid: 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] hello, 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. [07:02] how do I make gdm/greeter let me enter a username? [07:02] iivvoo: I think I remebered that middle clicking or something of the like brought up a resize manager === HeliusCron is now known as wrenny [07:02] neattoast: No I haven't and I don't know how to use it. should I look into it? [07:02] neattoast: But it's obviously something going on, some sort of bug I'm guessing [07:02] shape: Try using cssm [07:03] gaelfx: how to do it with vlc ?? [07:03] shape: that configs compiz maybe there is a window option [07:03] neattoast: and if that doesn't work reinstall? :( [07:03] pratz: there should be a transcoding wizard or something like that [07:04] gaelfx: is it a plugin ?? [07:04] neattoast: I'm also using gnome-shell btw [07:04] shape: Or maybe just reinstall gnome shell [07:04] !nounity [07:04] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [07:04] rectec, 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 commands [07:04] <__eagle__> siloxid: i did try that but no luck [07:04] neattoast: Oh, but it did that before in unity too. :( [07:04] i'm back. [07:05] <__eagle__> any other ideas on how to get rid of package not being able to be updated? [07:05] neattoast a "Resize manager"? [07:05] __eagle__: did you change your sources list? [07:05] noone resizes windows anymore? [07:05] iivvoo: Like an overlay that can resize the window. [07:05] iivvoo: check in cssm [07:06] shape: I would then definantly reinstall gnome-shell [07:06] neattoast thanks for the help/suggestions, but I'm probably better of installing some version of gnome [07:06] or something else that works [07:06] pratz: hang on [07:06] iivvoo: good luck :) [07:06] to me resizing windows is a rather basic operation, if unity fails doing that, it's not for me [07:06] neattoast: Yep, doing so now! I just logged in with unity and the buttons are there and working! [07:06] gaelfx: ya sure [07:06] <__eagle__> @proq: yeah i did like from main server to something else but still no lucj [07:06] neattoast: Thanks for your help! <3 [07:07] shape: Your welcome :) [07:07] gaelfx: till then i am trying my script, as i like ffmpeg [07:07] how do i get indicator-weather to work? [07:07] anyone managed to get XFCE 4.10 to run on 11.10? [07:07] Zburatorul: Why not just use xubuntu :D [07:07] tommis: did you install it? it worked just fine for me.. [07:07] pratz: sorry, I guess it's called convert/save now [07:08] neattoast, XFCE 4.10 won't be supported until 12.10 [07:08] KM0201: yep [07:08] How 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? [07:08] KM0201: and i have relogged in [07:08] but now I have 4.8 installed thru the xubuntu package, so i do do it that way [07:08] Zburatorul: You could force the upgrade... [07:08] tommis: i dunno, it "just worked" for me.. what version of ubuntu? [07:09] KM0201: 12.04 [07:09] pratz: 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 easy [07:10] neattoast, 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 them [07:10] tommis: hmm, weird.. i just installed it and it worked [07:10] gaelfx: i guess we can not select a dir , we can only select a file [07:10] My keyboard layout was autodected during the installation of 12.04 and I checked that it worked. After installation my layout is apparently English. In Keyboard Layouts it still says that it's Norwegian 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? [07:11] Zburatorul: I'd wait. XFCE 4.10 isn't even in arch yet! [07:11] pratz: ah, true, but you can select a large list of files if you want [07:11] hi , why is there difference in what top shows memory consumption of my system than system monitor? [07:11] when i play fullscreen videos with vlc it spans across multiple monitors.. how do i get it only on one? [07:12] gaelfx: appreciate dude, but this would not work, as i have many recurssive dir's === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial [07:12] pratz: sorry about that, hope you can get the script to work [07:13] (bye) [07:13] neattoast, what is arch? [07:13] gaelfx: ya that would be great , i am trying [07:13] !arch [07:13] are you talking about arch linux? [07:13] Zburatorul: Arch linux, they update packages on a very quick basis, but you have to configure a lot yourself (alsa, x) [07:14] petoo: yes. [07:14] neattoast: you have to configure pretty much everything yourself :/ [07:14] i just needed to start indicator-wheather once and no it has added itself to startup programs [07:14] gaelfx: I know. But sometiems it's worth it. [07:15] Does anybody know why top shows different numbers for memory consumtion than system monitor? [07:15] *top command* [07:15] neattoast: I agree, it's great fun. Just not something I'm prepared to use on a daily basis [07:15] gaelfx: Agreed. [07:15] petoo: system monitor uses more resources than top [07:15] rectec, 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) [07:16] neattoast, is it possible to clean my current ubuntu of Unity? i hate having it on the machine even after I switched to xfce [07:16] i may have tried, but it probably told me it'd have to delete half the base packages [07:16] Can anyone link me to instructions to pair a Bluetooth Keyboard to Ubuntu 11.10? [07:16] via Command Line [07:16] How to make the Unity sidebar on the left on 12.04 usuable when it's on autohide? [07:16] Zburatorul: most of those are just meta-packages I believe [07:16] xskydevilx: adjust the sensitivity [07:16] aldwinaldwin, how are you having this problem? lol [07:16] Zburatorul: yes. unity depends on ubuntu-desktop and vice versa. It is pretty hard to manually configure the package or manually delete. [07:17] gaelfx, 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 RAM [07:17] gaelfx, I still get a rubber band sort of effect, so I have to shake the mouse like crazy regardless of the sensitivity. [07:17] rectec, I know, nowbody on social media is complaining about it ... so, must be me :) [07:17] petoo: maybe sysmon is talking about swap and top is not [07:18] petoo: (I know that's not true) [07:18] nou, it clearly mentions it has not used even a single byte from swap [07:18] xskydevilx, may its the mouse itself? [07:19] xskydevilx: 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] rectec, first another coffee and a sig ... then i'll do that grub2 tutorial step by step ... cheers [07:19] well I 'll download Pangolin [07:20] gaelfx, Yes. There is still sort of a.. well how would I explain it.. like a sticky effect, whereas sometimes it doesn't show up at all, and I just get a shadow. [07:20] sirknight, Nah, the mouse is good. [07:20] is there any way to show the weather on Precise [07:20] top right corner like before [07:21] hey [07:22] xskydevilx: hm, not sure what would make that happen. have you checked to see if it's a known bug? [07:22] gaelfx, Well I would, but I'm not exactly certain on how to describe it. [07:22] xskydevilx: I've found the windows key to be more useful than the launcher anyhow, but that's me [07:22] HOLA [07:22] rectec, extra info ... one hour ago, i discovered I had no stage1 file, so i created that ... also discovered i have no menu.lst file, but for grub1 and grub2 this is different, so, entered this IRC to figure that out. [07:22] I´ve just solved my problem but i´ve got other problem [07:22] HOLA === threadz is now known as Guest36577 [07:23] now my terminal won´t autocomplete packages of sudo apt-get install blah...

[07:26] dyou have any solution? [07:26] xskydevilx: not sure what dodge is, sorry [07:27] xskydevilx: is that the new HUD thing? [07:27] gaelfx: do I just have to add that line to my bashrc and restart my session ?

I installed Ubutnu 12.04 today but my system lags a lot [07:36] rectec, np, having a cig, reading grub.cfg (upgrade-grub : no joy) [07:36] can some one helps me troubleshoot the problem? [07:36] aldwinaldwin, maybe some screenshots would help? [07:37] rectec, via irc? [07:37] aldwinaldwin, nah. upload them. i usually use imgbin. [07:38] rectec, ok, gimme a 5 minutes to write a step by step what i have discovered [07:38] hey [07:38] how can I install gnome-shell ? [07:38] Hi, everytime when I use Google chrome with Ubuntu, it *freezes* [07:38] Just after about 15-40 mis of usage [07:38] aldwinaldwin, sure. *use pastebin [07:38] hi, I just run the debian 12.04 [07:38] Is there a fix for ti? [07:39] it is greate [07:39] looks so find [07:39] (ayudo en español) [07:39] I am running the 11.10 with unity [07:39] Chris_H, try to update [07:39] how can I install gnome-shell in 12.04 ? [07:39] I changed to the gnome-shell [07:39] sirknight: Everything is updated [07:39] cfedde, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [07:39] sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [07:40] Chris_H, reinstall it.. [07:40] it isn´t in my repos i think [07:40] sirknight: lol [07:41] Does any one else have issues running GOogle chrome with ubuntu? [07:41] hi i just installed ubuntu 12.04 and need to figure a way to configure 5.1 surround support [07:41] I installed 12.04 64bit and installed lubuntu-desktop but things are crashing often. anybody else has some crashing issues with 12.04 64bit? [07:41] any guide or links would be appreciated [07:41] Chris_H, google has this woerd think about .. youn need to wait to up date.. its been like that since they started from 2 linux ported version [07:42] Chris_H, Chrome carshed a while ago :P I opened Opera now :) [07:42] cfoch: it should be in repos, just sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [07:42] !notunity | cfoch [07:42] cfoch: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [07:42] open is heavy, but is a work around and makes up for alot for things that linux cant do? [07:45] who helped me with the bashrc ? [07:45] waht [07:45] ? [07:45] wahtś the matter [07:45] Hi, maybe this has been asked before (sorry, but can't find solution), but in all my browsers flash is only playing for about four seconds. It's the latest version and the video downloads totally, but you need to press the 'location button' to get it to play the next 4.5 seconds. Any idea?? Thanks. [07:46] what does 'complete -cf sudo' do ? [07:46] cfoch: enables auto-completion when using sudo before commands [07:47] I wish Google chrome would work well in Ubuntu, until then, I guess I'd be better off with Windows :( [07:47] Chris_H: what problems are you having with Chromium? [07:47] How 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] It has the same effect in Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Guess its a flash issue with Ubuntu [07:48] ??? [07:48] i never meet flash issues on ubuntu or windows [07:48] gaelfx: 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 mins [07:48] gaelfx: I see, and how can I show colors in the terminal? [07:48] Sorry, I use 11.10 [07:48] It occurs when I view video or even load about 10+ tabs === matthew is now known as Guest69968 [07:49] cfoch: that I'm not really sure about [07:49] cfoch: but I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of guides out there [07:49] cfoch: if it's not in ubuntu documentation, then you should be able to find it in the arch documentation [07:50] aldwinaldwin, i gotta go. sorry man. hopefully others can help you. make sure to take some screenies. if it doesnt work out try the forums. good luck :) [07:50] rectec, ok, thanks [07:50] have a nice sunday [07:50] Chris_H: sounds like you don't have enough swap or RAM [07:51] aldwinaldwin: backache :( [07:51] gaelfx: I doubt that. I have about 4 GB of RAM and enough swap space [07:51] are there any good or excellent themes recommend? [07:51] get well [07:51] Chris_H: and when you have all that stuff open, how much of it are you using? [07:52] who decided this was a good idea? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/812394 [07:52] Launchpad bug 812394 in Ayatana Design "Disable hibernate option by default" [High,Fix released] [07:52] gaelfx: I haven't checked that. But, I dont think my browser will eat up all of it. [07:53] Random832, a common sense [07:53] Chris_H: also, you should make note of the next time it freezes your system, then look through the logs for any errors at that time [07:53] Lint: how is that common sense [07:53] what 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 fix [07:54] Any support on Flash available here? [07:54] hey there [07:54] which kernel do I need for Ubutnu 12.04 to run as a KVM guest ? [07:54] ReneZ: it's simpler if you just state the problem you're having, then we'll know what you need to do [07:54] download google chrome for flash [07:54] I did that some lines up [07:55] would updating to 12.04 delete anything on my current system? [07:55] hey, is there a network install image for 12.04? [07:55] Flash only playes for about 4 seconds in all my browsers [07:55] it is clear that hybernating should be prevented by default, by any means available [07:55] anyone have problems playing fullscreen video with vlc on multimonitor setup [07:55] it would delete the settings for software packages after upgrading. In my case, the mysql and apache stuff got reset. [07:55] Lint: how is that clear [07:56] if it were a good idea they should provide a proper explanation [07:56] and they certainly shouldn't disable it on upgrades to systems that have hibernated a thousand times before [07:56] gealfx: Using Ubuntu 11.10 and the latest Flash [07:56] since clearly those systems have no problem aND the user regularly uses the feature [07:56] because if the computer will not come back from hybernation, the ubuntu will be erased immediately, it´s bad for business [07:57] you unity people are stupid and your paternalistic attitude is now infecting the other ubuntu versions [07:57] Lint: so have a chekbox to enable it at your own risk [07:57] and an explanation why [07:57] and IF IT WORKED BEFORE, ASSUME IT WILL WORK [07:58] now that i know there's an xubuntu channel, i don't have to hang out in the unity channel anymore === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [07:59] is anyone there?

[08:38] Nope [08:38] It asks root priviliges [08:38] yer, so it need sudo :) [08:39] rbrooks: bus error when I use the radeon driver. [08:39] wo0t99: How can i configure wine for nfsmw?

[08:43] wo0t99 : Ok im try [08:43] now trying to run it directly on wine [08:43] bavani : try use sudo winecfg & for the configuration. [08:44] quit [08:45] dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem Why?? (im try sudo apt-get install vlc) [08:45] Anybody here fluent in Bash? [08:46] dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem Why?? (im try sudo apt-get install vlc) [08:46] hey [08:46] it was 'autocomplete -cf sudo', right? [08:47] Ok [08:47] Hariezg: those configuration will fix your problem in system and dpkg runtime. [08:47] I have wifi problem [08:47] cfoch: complete -cf sudo [08:47] Whats the difference between installing transmission-daemon or transmission-cli, im installing on ubuntu server and want a web gui torrent client [08:48] gaelfx: dude got the script working for audi compression [08:48] yabanize: then the daemon should suffice [08:48] pratz: awesome! what was wrong? [08:48] need help with iwconfig [08:48] What is the transmission cli then? [08:48] yabanize: cli is for controlling transmission using terminal, if you want the web-client, you probably don't need that then [08:49] gaelfx: in the subprocess module of python, i was specifing shell=True, that was wrong [08:49] Just made the full jump from windows to Ubuntu 12.04lts and just wanted to say I love it. [08:49] What about if i just install transmission [08:49] having wifi problem [08:49] pratz: what does that do? [08:49] yabanize: that would be fine except you'll have to get gtk and all that jazz [08:49] gaelfx: that will output to shell and i did not wanted that [08:50] Hi all. Somewhere I read that one of the new features of 12.04 is that when selecting a user from the login screen, the login screen background changes to that user's wallpaper... am I wrong? Do I have to activate this somewhere? [08:50] pratz: weird, guess I still have a lot to learn about pyhton [08:50] gaelfx: but now the script works recursively and also creats dirs if not exist [08:50] so transmission cli would have a web gui aswell? [08:50] So I just did a fresh install of 12.04. and I'm trying to do SSL virtual hosts... well it works untill I reboot then it just points to the main site ... untill i manually restart apache2.. how wierd eh? [08:50] ubottu : !python [08:50] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python [08:50] that is wierd dade [08:50] gaelfx: actually subprocess is the new module in python2.7 i guess , before that we would to use os.system() [08:51] yabanize: should, yeah, but if you don't plan to control it from terminal, then cli is kind of pointless [08:51] any ideas on where to find its hiccups? [08:51] gaelfx: but os.system() does not escape spaces and subprocess does [08:51] hello [08:51] Hi. My x server is still randomly and very often crashing since I upgraded to 12.04 and I still haven't found the problem source. [08:51] so is min lol [08:51] mine* [08:51] dade; is restarting the deamon the only thing you need to do to enable all vt? [08:51] gaelfx: ohhhh, i love programming dude [08:51] Lolostudio: nvidia? [08:52] kx : Yes [08:52] pratz: it shows ;) [08:52] NuttyNutGoblin2; regular http virtuals work its only SSL virtuals that dont work untill I restart apache [08:52] Lolostudio : try sudo dpkg-recofigure -phigh xserver-xorg [08:52] thanxx [08:52] oh ok [08:52] gaelfx: now a can watch an IPL match ( India Premier League ) and my system will do the remaining work for me [08:52] Lolostudio: downgrade driver to 295.33 or wait for update. it's known problem read about it on phoronix [08:52] To play a game in wine, is it necessary to install it, or can we play games using copied files?

[08:54] kx : Oh...Where can I downgrade to this driver? On the nvidia website or the driver selection window should give it? [08:54] NuttyNutGoblin2 : try ifconfig wlan0 up [08:54] iwconfig will give the detail, interface control by ifconfig [08:54] bavani, if it was necessaary to install in windows, it's probably necessary to install in wine [08:54] brb [08:54] gaelfx: dude you helped me with ffmpeg [08:55] Lolostudio: i dont know that you can in ubuntu sorry . i dont use ubuntu. i download from nvidia's site. it's quite an adventurous traversal of hyperlinks too [08:55] gaelfx: open source ,if hands are together goal will be difinately achieved [08:55] pratz: :D [08:55] plouffe: We can play nfs mw without installing it [08:55] in windows [08:55] Its amazing how far ubuntu has come.

[09:02] Signal 7 (Bus Error) [09:02] shafeeqes: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [09:02] cfoch, then you choose "Gnome" at the login screen [09:04] Hi, if I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, can I switch to Kubuntu 12.04 without doing a clean install? [09:04] wo0t99: but I want autocomplete the packages. I usually write for example "libgl", then (for example) tab, and it shows me libglib2.0, libglib2.0-dev, etc [09:04] Trieste: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [09:04] Trieste: by switch you mean and getting rid of the old unity/ubuntu stuff [09:04] ? [09:05] shafeeqes: it complete some packages but not all [09:05] No help from the wine hq channel [09:05] *completes [09:05] bavani: then wait for help from the wine channel [09:05] (backache) [09:05] Hey guys. I need some help! [09:06] I'm running 10.04 with globalmenu and Aurora firefox 14 with firefox-globalmenu, but that menu isn't being passed on. The plugin is listed as enabled in the addons manager. Any ideas? [09:06] I added php5 with sudo apt-get php5 [09:06] cfoch : i only need the packages..only desktop (ie; appearance) ..so gnome shell is enough ? [09:06] While 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? [09:06] Then I installed apache like explained here: [09:06] http://www.mypcsupport.de/net/linux/ubuntu-lamp-installation/ [09:06] kx: basically, I want what I would get if I did a clean install - without doing a clean install, because for some reason, my graphics card doesn't work without proprietary drivers, so when I use the install cd, it just blacks out [09:06] Thus, I installed PHP twice I guess. [09:06] Now Apache only serves PHP files in the root directory, not in subdirectories [09:06] shafeeqes: ? [09:07] I've done this, but it does not word: http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/ubuntu-server-apache-php-files-are-download-instead-of-opening-in-browser/ [09:07] Hey, I want to play nfs mw on wine without installing it, but running the main exe gives me an error: Invalid parameters recieved [09:07] It changes screen res too [09:07] Pls hlp [09:07] Hello! When I connect an additional monitor to my notebook, ubuntu does something (it recognizes the monitor and goes to mirror-mode). Does anybody know, what ubuntu does here exactly (is there any skript running?). I would like to set the notebook monitor off automaticly if an external Monitor is connected. I can do this with randr - but i need an event to run this skript... [09:07] cfoch : use synaptic :D [09:07] bavani: the wine guys is the place to get help [09:08] Any ideas? [09:08] nope... I want autocomplete the packages (lol) [09:08] Wne guys aren't helping [09:08] Hello To all . I upgrade the ubuntu to 12 but when i upgrade it i saw that my samsung printer is not working any more it seems like the driver is there but at the status its written it stopped . So i can not able to print nothing .Please advice me what to do ? [09:08] shredding: php is not directory based [09:08] shredding: it's either on/off [09:08] bavani: that is the place to get help [09:08] Trieste: 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] anyone else having problems with SSL Virtualhosts on apache2 upon reboot? [09:08] Pls try to help me [09:08] ikonia: it works on root directory. [09:09] : try search the package and do a wildcard. lol [09:09] I already googles a lot, it's a common problem. [09:09] bavani: that is the correct place to get help, not everything will work with wine, you need to be prepared for that [09:09] However, the common solutions did not work. [09:09] shredding: it's not a common problem [09:09] No its nfsmw [09:09] shredding: php is either on/off within the web server [09:09] Well, let's say i'm not the only one with it. [09:09] cfoch don't like to use synaptic [09:09] Yes, thats true. [09:09] The appdb says it works fine [09:10] It's on. [09:10] try playonlinux ? or getdeb ? [09:10] bavani: then the people who maintain the winedb (the wine support guys) can help you [09:10] But apache does not parse php in subdirs. [09:10] How can i get to them? [09:10] cfoch doesn't like to use synaptic * (bad english) [09:10] shredding: again, very unlikley, what's the actual error you get ? [09:11] ikonia: It's not an error. PHP scripts are offered for download by apache instead of getting parsed. [09:11] I tried this: [09:11] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8427131/apache-webserver-subdirectories-not-loading [09:11] And that: [09:11] http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/ubuntu-server-apache-php-files-are-download-instead-of-opening-in-browser/ [09:11] (Both have the exact same problem) [09:11] Got the problem [09:11] shredding: one moment let me read [09:11] what -cf does? [09:11] thank you very much [09:11] hi, is there a PPA for GCC 4.8 snapshots builds? [09:11] is there any one? [09:11] Installing DirectX did the trick [09:11] (bad english) what does -cf do? [09:12] Trieste: 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 sure [09:12] thnx 4 bearing me up [09:12] kx: I haven't thought of that, good idea, I'll check [09:13] shredding: in the web root (where php works) can you give me the name of a file that works please ? [09:13] It's localhost! [09:14] You can't access it from the outside. [09:14] My guess is the following: [09:14] I don't want to access it [09:14] the file is named index.php [09:14] I have copied the exact same file in a subdir and it does not work. [09:14] shredding: ok, in the subdirectory if you create a file called index.php with the simple phpinfo command in it, what happens ? [09:15] It gets downloaded instead of getting parsed [09:15] anybody from Tirana? [09:15] shredding: even if it's called index.php ? [09:15] linocisco: why ? [09:15] Yes. [09:15] shredding: can you please pastebin nyour sites enabled file for that site [09:15] does gcc-snapshot package installs GCC 4.8.x series? [09:15] woot figured it out [09:15] ikonia, an IT vacancy there [09:15] ubuntu ? convince me! why should i give up on windows [09:15] u should allow php mime on apache.conf to allow that :) [09:15] linocisco: so nothing to do with this channel then [09:16] linocisco: please /join #ubuntu-offtopic for general chit chat [09:16] hello, a question: i would like to log in on Unity and keep left launcher, delete the top panel and add customizable gnome-panel [09:16] My guess is: I have installed apt-get php5 BEFORE i installed it again with apache dependencies. [09:16] shredding: sorry what ? [09:16] god dammit http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/12.04/kubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso [09:16] Ok, first of all, I'm new to linux. [09:16] Trieste: why are you posting that, we know the download urls [09:16] ne0_: #ubuntu-offtopic is the better place for you as well, this one is just a technical support channel [09:16] ikonia: have you tried visiting it? [09:16] I had to do some command line php and thought apache was already installed. [09:16] Trieste: no [09:17] shredding: if it's already installed, it won't be a problem [09:17] Trieste: also, control your language here, please [09:17] shredding : phpinfo() [09:17] That's why I sudo apt-get PHP5 and php got installed and i performed some command line stuff. [09:17] oCean: sorry [09:17] shredding did you install apache with apt-get install lamp-server^ [09:17] No. [09:18] give that a shot I'm in the process of reinstalling my own server and lamp-server^ did everything for me in one go [09:18] hey guys,after install ati driver,i restart and found the launcher and the panel is gone.how do i fix it? [09:18] mysql apache and php was rocking [09:18] I used this: [09:18] I wonder who should I contact about the broken links on kubuntu.org [09:18] lamp-server option will resolve the the issue [09:19] http://www.mypcsupport.de/net/linux/ubuntu-lamp-installation/ [09:19] Trieste: maybe #ubuntu-website, but don't quote me on that [09:19] but i still see the top panel when i log in [09:19] Trieste: the links on the kubuntu website works fine [09:19] ikonia: it 404s here, that's strange [09:19] shredding go with this instead [09:19] Dade: How do I get rid of my current installation in order to install lamp? [09:19] http://tuxtweaks.com/2012/04/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ [09:19] Trieste: go to the website and press the "download" buttons, [09:20] Dade: Sorry if this is dumb but I come from windows [09:20] could someone give me a manual about autocompletion in bashrc ? [09:20] Shredding: dont worry about it just run sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ [09:20] ikonia: I need the alternate cd, which 404s here [09:20] shredding: not dumb at all [09:20] apt-get will figure out the rest [09:20] shredding: that's why people are here, to help you [09:20] press alt+f2 or the super button but nothing happen. [09:21] how do I delete top panel on Unity? [09:21] Trieste: it's not on any of the mirrors, which suggests it's not been released/populated for some reason [09:21] firefox-nightly's menu doesn't pick up, either. I currently have no idea what to check. [09:21] shredding: yeah man dont sweat it im a big windows guy myself here to figure out a problem too :) [09:21] is the ^ requiered? [09:21] yes [09:21] ikonia: I see, any idea why that might be? [09:21] Has anyone ever used devilspie? [09:21] Dade: what is the ^ for? [09:21] Trieste: nope, not read anything [09:21] some funny channel about games in ubuntu ? [09:21] shredding: try install sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 to resolve that php5 download issue [09:22] LjK: its whats listed in the repository [09:22] Dade: It did some processing but says everything is actual and fine and 0 files where changed [09:22] Hi 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 turn [09:22] wo0t99: same here. [09:23] Ah wait! [09:23] Something has changed. [09:23] :) [09:23] I can now access index.php like this: [09:23] http://localhost/flow3/Web/index.php [09:23] However: http://localhost/flow3/Web/ does not work [09:23] that directives from your http conf >.< [09:23] shredding: you'll need to update the default index file names in your apache config file [09:24] You mean httpd.conf? [09:24] shredding: apache2.conf [09:24] shredding: slightly different in ubuntu [09:24] shredding: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP .. it worth for your reference :) [09:24] Why in myunity in the begin i see thiw message --> Your Ubuntu 12.04 is running in 2D mode. [09:24] Many features will not be available. [09:24] where can i find md5 for 12.04 64 bit? it is not there on download torrent page help [09:25] ikonia: the bittorrent links work, though, maybe it's just the HTTP mirrors that are broken? [09:25] How can I use my webcam in kubuntu 12.04? [09:25] Trieste: I'm sure they will get populated shortly [09:25] Okay. [09:25] !md5 [09:25] To 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_Windows [09:26] Okay. [09:27] ikonia: Do you know how to do this? [09:27] While 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] shredding: add index.php to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf [09:27] shredding: DirectoryIndex is the parameter [09:28] Lolostudio: 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 option [09:28] is there any gui tool to compare md5 ? [09:29] Abhijit : usually terminal work best [09:29] shredding: oCean is on to something I agree make sure that index.php is in the file he listed. [09:29] Gui tool...sure its called Terminal then run appropriate commands.lol [09:29] Has anyone ever used devilspie? [09:30] Propuls1on: why not ask your actual question [09:30] kx: 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] ubottu: !devilspie [09:30] devilspie 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/Devilspie [09:30] Well, i'm new here.. not sure how it works.. [09:30] wo0t99, 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 that [09:30] It already says: http://pastebin.com/qPV2VWg2 [09:31] But 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] Abhijit: several cd-burning programs have that [09:31] Lolostudio: 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 option [09:31] oCean, i am talking about checking md5 sum and not about burning the cd [09:32] shredding : how about mod enable? [09:32] Abhijit, try hashcalc [09:32] Abhijit: 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 simple [09:32] wo0t99: You mean mod_enable module.c in httpd.conf? [09:32] kx: 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" ?) [09:33] shredding: no, if dir.conf was in your mods-enabled directory, then there is no need to enable it again [09:33] ok [09:34] shredding: try gksudo /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf and comment #php_admin_value engine off [09:34] wo0t99: why? [09:34] shredding : and then sudo service apache2 restart, see how it work [09:35] Are there any non-unity related problems that I might run into when upgrading from 11.10? [09:35] Hey 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] shredding: are you sure the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file is the default config? Does it include directives as "Include mods-enabled/*.load" [09:35] I already did that woOt99 [09:35] Lolostudio: 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 remember [09:35] shredding: really, in a default installation this all should work. I'm not sure what happened to your installation/config [09:36] can i get any answers ?any body who can help ? [09:36] Is there any option to remove anything and retry?

[09:56] aRn0: that question has yet to be answered, no doubt [09:57] blackbox, you would use a partition resizer tool [09:57] ikonia: i'll look around to see where i can do that, thanks much :) [09:57] can you give me a link ?? [09:57] blackbox, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [09:58] gparted ?? i have install it and this cannot edit my partition T.T [09:58] blackbox, if you have any NTFS partitions on that box, be sure to check for errors first in Windows.

[10:00] greenbrother, 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.

[10:15] confused: what's the problem you met ?

[10:16] wildc4rd: unstable nvidia drivers, nonfunctional vmware broken package installs etc. you know the usual [10:16] greenbrother, if the speech and the rest of the audio are on different channels, you can adjust the channels accordingly. [10:16] Ingram: i returned nothing here [10:16] no, they are no on different channels [10:16] haylo, must still be running Slackware 1.0 [10:16] haylo: 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 thing [10:16] Hoyt, strange. what's your version of sed? [10:16] forgot broken wine games [10:17] greenbrother, did you cehck the level of compatibilty of you device on the linux hardware compatibility list? [10:17] haha you can run security updates - but you dont have to upgrade LjL and you know im correct [10:17] Ingram: 4.2.1 on arch [10:17] how do I turn on wireless networking in ubuntu? [10:17] Is this the new official channel for Ubuntu? I always thought the official one was on freenode. [10:17] haylo: right, so when your distribution is no longer supported (thus providing no security updates), what do you do exactly? [10:17] hellosputnik: this *is* freenode [10:17] trek201: is that a laptop ? [10:17] Hoyt, meh. Everything works fine in arch. I have 12.04 running with 4.2.1-9 and it seems to be broken [10:17] Hoyt: i get a bunch of timeouts because karmic is not supported anymore. i need to change the source to the ubuntu old server, but i don't know how [10:17] LjL, excuse my inexperience. [10:17] re- install . not just keep upgrading and wondering why it doesnt work [10:18] is there a way to install mysql-server-5.5 ? [10:18] greenbrother, if the problem is intermittent, the notifier sounds from the desktop might cause the interference. [10:18] Hoyt: i can't do apt-get update [10:18] confused: 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 dependencies [10:18] I have saw that ubuntu require intel cpu. My PC is hp sff with intel cpu. [10:18] Hoyt: 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] confused: i'm not sure what LVM depends on , but that requires gcc to be installed [10:19] trek201: first confirm the drivere (kernel module) is loaded [10:19] trek201: can you see the interface from *ifconfig -a* ? [10:19] Hoyt: i can't install anything though, because my sources are all pointing to where stuff used to be-- and it's not there anymroe [10:19] anymore * [10:19] greenbrother ....groan... no I mean the level of linux compatibility of your Presonus USB sound"card". [10:19] confused: i mean to download the source code from internet , not ubuntu's , but I guess you didn't have gcc installed [10:20] confused: so it's wasting your time [10:20] confused: why are you trying to install LVM on a livecd [10:20] yeah :/ [10:20] Does closing the Ubuntu Software Center while it's installing something cancel its installation? [10:20] confused: why use karmic [10:20] ikonia: i need to expand my lvm partition [10:20] confused: also if you need lvm , just use alternative cd [10:20] confused: ok, so why are you not doing that from your system ? [10:20] Hoyt: it's the only live cd i have... [10:20] yeah, OK, but i have build in audio too and with this audio I haven's "pups" problem, but the problem with effects and speak stay [10:20] confused: why are you using the livecd for that ? [10:20] confused: can you boot from usb ? [10:20] hi, how may I change the default font use by gtk apps when I'm not using gnome ? [10:21] confused: i forget you can boot a alternative cd from hdd [10:21] i'm using a live cd because you shouldn't expand a partition from its own OS, no? [10:21] Hello I'm trying to run sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and it says "gnome-shell" has no instalation canditate? [10:21] confused, goood point [10:21] confused: that's the whole point of lvm [10:21] confused: you can change your disk dynamic [10:21] really? so i can just do that within the other OS? [10:21] confused: within the other OS ??? [10:21] confused: yes [10:21] confused: you use your normal system [10:21] ikonia, even your / partition? [10:21] ah okay [10:21] confused: wait a moment , i'll find you some links [10:22] fantastic [10:22] thanks very much for that, that seems much easier. [10:22] confused: boot into your ubuntu system, use lvm to resize the logical volume you are using [10:22] confused: is that i386 or x64 ? [10:22] 64 i believe [10:22] any partition that is not mounted, you can change usually [10:22] Stereocaulon: sure, lvm can be done on the running system [10:22] er [10:22] no, you can change mounted partitions in LVM [10:22] it will be mounted though [10:22] to expand [10:22] that is the WHOLE point of it [10:22] confused: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ [10:22] anyone know if its possible to delay Apache's startup? I think part of my problem is that its comming up before networking is up [10:22] confused: grab the "vmlinuz" nd "initrd.gz" , put it in your /boot [10:22] confused: ignore what Hoyt is telling you [10:23] ikonia, sounds really nice. Might try that on my next setup. [10:23] !nounity [10:23] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [10:23] ikonia: has better ideas / [10:23] Hoyt: what is it for? [10:23] confused: do not do it [10:23] confused: to boot the alternative cd of ubuntu 12.04 [10:23] confused: that one contains a minimal system , that you can do LVM resizing [10:23] hellosputnik, not in 12.04 at least. [10:23] confused: again - ignore what Hoyt is saying [10:23] ikonia: what's your solution then [10:23] confused: there is no need to do anything [10:24] hellosputnik, 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] confused: boot your system normally, resize your lvm volumes [10:24] I see. Thank you, phibxr. [10:24] Hoyt: ikonia was saying that lvm allows you to resize lvm volumes from within a booted lvm volume [10:24] confused: correct. [10:24] is that correct ikonia ? or was i misinterpreting [10:24] okay [10:24] confused: i'm confused , can you install lvm on your current system ? === JackyAlcine is now known as jacky [10:24] confused: if you can , then no need for alternative cd [10:25] Can someone please help me? Why am I getting this? "Package gnome-shell is not available, but is referred to by another package. " [10:25] i don't understand this new ubuntu 12.04 interface. all the ways im use to looking for settings arent available anymore. [10:25] yeah i'm going to go into the lvm OS and try from there [10:25] confused: boot in recovery mode , and select 'root shell' , do the resize then [10:25] i'll be back in a bit if issues persist... thanks guys :) [10:25] Hoyt: stop talking [10:26] when I open the Network panel, it shows "Wired" and "Network Proxy" but nothing for wireless [10:26] yeah Hoyt , let ikonia do his work [10:26] in fact il peace out of here- take care guys [10:26] Hoyt: if you don't know what you are doing - don't speak, don't give wrong information, don't try to suggest things that you have no idea about [10:26] ikonia: i know exactly what i'm doing / saying [10:26] Nevermind. It's working now! [10:27] Hoyt: then why are you telling people to boot into recovery modes, and download livecd's and alternatiuve CD's and copy randomg kernel files into /boot - to do a simple lvm resize [10:27] ikonia: zipp [10:27] Hi === wutang is now known as crew === crew is now known as crossbow === crossbow is now known as crossbowkiller [10:28] Hey === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [10:29] Ubuntu [10:29] what is etc/sudoers for?

Do you happen to know? [10:31] !xfce [10:31] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [10:31] Okay, so I tried to repair my desktop: I removed xfce and reinstalled ubuntu-desktop. Now, when I boot, I get to the login screen, but when I try to login, a log flashed (too short to read it) and I'm back at the login screen. [10:32] Booting in recovery mode and starting failsafeX tells me that "FATAL ERROR: No screens found" [10:32] Any ideas how to repair that? [10:34] hey everyone i have problem im trying to put the new lts on a pc i just got and it wont install or even load with the wifi card in i tryed running ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386 and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.50-1ubuntu1_i386 to get the wifi card to work but i keep getting dependancy not satisfied on both .deb files any suggestions [10:34] Boreeas_: How did you 'repair'? sudo apt-get remove xubuntu desktop && sudo apt get install ubuntu-desktop? Did you delete some files in your /home/yourname folder? [10:34] erm, apt-get remove xubuntu will _not_ remove all xubuntu related packages [10:34] minimec: sudo apt-get remove xubuntu*; sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [10:35] Boreeas_: No changes in your /home/yourname folder? === trek201- is now known as trek201 [10:35] None I did manually. I guess the IRC client and firefox write to their respective folders, though [10:37] would it be possible that sed rules differ because I use a language which alphabet is in a slightly different order than the one in english? [10:38] echo "lava" | sed 's/^[a-z]*//' - returns va; echo "lava" | sed 's/^[a-y]*//' returns nothing [10:38] any suggestions [10:39] Hello, I used gconf-editor and changed button_layout to ":minimize,maximize,close" in gnome-shell and I only get the close button. In Unity works fine. Is this a bug? [10:39] Boreeas_: can you 'sudo updatedb', then 'locate .Xauthority'? If you got that file in your home folder, 'mv .Xauthority .Xauthority-old' [10:40] what is login keyring and why does it always pop up?? [10:41] it keeps your passwords you have to be loged into your account to auto fill your passwords online and such [10:41] darmok and jalad at tanagra [10:42] minimec: Alright, I'll need to reboot for that. Is there anything I should do after renaming the .Xauthority file? Or just reboot? [10:43] Boreeas_: just reboot [10:44] printer problem. upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 (cant 12.04 yet, dependenies, long story). printer does not work. brother mfc425cn, multifunc, scanner unit works fine, cups sees the printer but it does not print [10:44] Alright, thank you [10:44] pointers appreciated [10:45] im trying to put the new lts on a pc i just got and it wont install or even load with the wifi card in i tryed running ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386 and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.50-1ubuntu1_i386 to get the wifi card to work but i keep getting dependancy not satisfied on both .deb files any suggestions [10:45] after i took the card out and installed 12.04 [10:45] microphone not working in ubuntu 12.04 [10:46] microphone not working in ubuntu 12.04 for Vaio laptop [10:46] I'm trying to get multi monitor setup on ubuntu 12.04 with a nvidia card using the nvidia drivers (Version Current) but i have 2 issues, main issue it works when i set it to twinview but Ubuntu see's it as 1 giant monitor with resolution (3360x1080) === hnsz|sleeps is now known as hnsz [10:48] hi [10:48] !away > hnsz [10:48] hnsz, please see my private message [10:50] jrib: Got it. I just changed nick. Didnt mean to attract attention. I will part the channel next time. [10:50] hnsz: thanks [10:50] does xchat have a plugin for music player? [10:50] can anyone help with my problem === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [10:52] MadsRC: Let's go [10:52] LinuxMonkey: That would be default behaviour. So where is your problem? === mike is now known as Guest67168 [10:53] minimec, well issue is that on another system I was able to set each screen resolution and wallpaper [10:56] LinuxMonkey: You have the 'Seperate X screen' option in nvidia-settings. Other option is to use e17 as WindowManager. e17 handles the screens indipendently, evenwith Twinview. [10:56] hello all can anyone see me [10:57] Pouncer: are you using the command line (i.e., dpkg) ? [10:57] Have just obtained an old pc that has ubuntu 11.10 installed on it. I'm more familiar with Mint. Problem is I can't -AT ALL! - get adobe flash to work. And so far none of the suggestions that others say worked for them hasn't worked for me. Any ideas? [10:57] good afternoon [10:57] yea [10:57] minimec yeah i got the option for that seperate x but i have no clue what to do after. let me enable it and ill be back [10:57] roryy: yea i am [10:58] Pouncer: so the command is something like 'sudo dpkg -i blahblah.deb otherthing.deb' ? [10:58] yea [10:58] ciao [10:58] !addon [10:59] Pouncer: well, assuming these are packages for your system (12.04, I think you said?), my advice would be to follow the dependency chain for each package, and download those debs too === irenicus09 is now known as Guest5988 [10:59] Pouncer: a bit of a pain, obviously, but I guess you don't have too many options without a network connection [10:59] ok ty bery much ill go try that now [10:59] !cinnamon [10:59] Pouncer: you can use packages.ubuntu.com to see dependencies of packages, and to download packages [11:00] !addon [11:00] death to cinnamon, Gnome shell and KDE [11:00] roryy: ok great ty very much [11:00] vincentvdBergh: please keep the silly stuff out of this channel. [11:01] FY [11:02] minimec: That didn't work. .Xauthority /was/ in /home/myfolder, but renaming it and rebooting doesn't fix the problem [11:02] Pouncer: last point: some dependencies will already be installed -- basic system things. so you won't need to download *every* dependency [11:02] ok i set it to seperate x screens, the second monitor is on and when i mouse over it turns my pointer into a X and ubuntu doesnt seam to see it/share with it [11:03] someone plz help me with radi tray [11:04] what is the problem? [11:04] check out, if gstreamer plugins are installed [11:04] radio tray crashed with gError in notify: GD bus.error:org.freedesktop.D.bus.error.ServiceUnknown. The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any service files [11:04] every time when song changes [11:04] Boreeas_: hmm. So the X server is starting and you get the lightdm greeter. What are the session options you get (icon next to you username)? [11:04] i get an error raport [11:06] razvan986, try in that way from console: [11:06] minimec: Hah, I didn't know I could click on that. Options are: Recovery, Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D and Custom. Default seems to be Custom. [11:06] dbus-launch radiotray [11:06] Boreeas_: Change it to Ubuntu and try again... ;) [11:06] how to rezol it? [11:06] Judging from the icons anyways [11:07] is there a way to change the unity colors? === feisar__ is now known as feisar [11:07] I don't like the brown like theme stuff [11:07] But I do like unity [11:08] fragske: appearance [11:08] fragske: the left panel is transparent i guess , top panel is decided by your gtk theme [11:08] minimec: Hah, awesome, thank you. I thought it was just decoration, similar to the little picture you get on the windows login screen :P [11:08] Help, I just setup nvida driver for my monitors as seperate x screen ( i need it to work like twinview almost) however i need to have 2 different resolution and different wallpaper === Rider is now known as Guest99607 === Guest99607 is now known as atome [11:10] Boreeas_: Happy for you... ;) [11:10] ok, im trying to get ubuntu to install a wireless driver. i used the software center to install the windows wireless driver program. then i selected the inf file. but it tells me "Module could not be loaded. Error was: FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found" [11:10] hi is there a way gnome 3 fallback can have weather and date applet in gnome panel??? this is getting more and more ridicolouse [11:10] ania__: find a weather indicator applet [11:10] Witaj ania__ ;] [11:10] siema [11:10] hm [11:11] Hi, 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] can click on panels any more.......not even with alt pressed....i really hate thats improvements [11:11] LinuxMonkey: 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] ania__: yeah , fewer and fewer options to configure [11:11] pntium4 easy dont worry you can go with gnome [11:12] LinuxMonkey: why not use twinview? it will cope with the different screen resolutions [11:12] hi, anybody here who has configured hibernation to work under 12.04 final release? [11:12] (sorry I typo'd can't to can earlier) [11:12] well hibernation works only on antarctica [11:13] not well when an app goes fullscreen and it looks to go to full width of both monitors x 1080 [11:13] u so funny [11:13] trek201: may be install ndiswrapper-dkms ? [11:13] im 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] Hoyt: how [11:13] Pupuser: I think so, I run unity on my netbook with 1G 1.6Ghz, and its usable, but not fast [11:14] i thought the windows wireless driver program *was* ndiswrapper [11:14] LinuxMonkey: Twinview shouldnt do that [11:14] LinuxMonkey: 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] trek201: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms , this will install kernel support of ndiswrapper [11:14] aethelrick: Do you have a unitybar in bioth screens? [11:14] erujolc: debian/rules [11:14] nope [11:14] jongbergs: are your talking about tuxonice ? [11:15] let me try again aethelrick [11:15] ok, thanks Hoyt [11:15] aethelrick: It has some random behaviour sometimes. [11:15] LinuxMonkey: Most apps should only go fullscreen on the screen they are on (with twinview). [11:15] jrib, got it, thanks! [11:15] hello every one [11:16] i need help installing ubuntu on Lenovo Z570 laptop....the problem is with installer, it cannot partition my 750 gb hdd... [11:16] Hoyt: No. Hibernation in 12.04 is disabled by default. I found one site that posted an article last Jan 12 2012 [11:16] hnsz, 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 developing [11:16] aethelrick: Me too [11:16] help please. [11:16] jongbergs: that's sad , i no longer uses tuxonice , since I got a SSD root now [11:16] kapz - what is the result of command from livecd 1. sudo su [Enter] 2. fdisk -l [11:16] If monitors r same res there is amode u maybe in causingthat behavior (typi ng on tablet ) xinerama vs extended [11:17] kapz maybe you have "dynamically" disk by MS :D [11:17] marcin82: please use « sudo -i », not « sudo su » [11:17] Hoyt: I would want to use the native support for hibernation. I did try tuxonice already, I've encountered intermittent issues with it. [11:17] marcin82, fdisk lists partitions, I have tried syncing as well with fdisk's w option... [11:18] jrib be careful with advising sudo -i, beginners can ruin their system with it [11:18] marcin82, point is i installed ubuntu 11.10 again and it partitions just fine... [11:18] kapz: You have some 'do other things' (I don't remember, how the button is labled) option in the installer. [11:19] LinuxMonkey: xinemera should be turned off [11:19] Use 11.10to partition then install 12.04 [11:19] hnsz, it is [11:19] minimec, thats the problem with installer, it fails to partition properly! [11:20] show result of fdisk -l [11:20] kapz use gparted in the live session to partition [11:20] Hoyt: I've found similar article which was posted 4 days ago. The same instructions. I'll give it a try. Thanks [11:21] kapz: 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] MonkeyDust, will gparted do anything better than cfdisk? [11:21] kapz i don't now cfdsik, but i think yes [11:21] cfdisk* [11:21] minimec, yeah I installed 12.04 on another laptop using same cd w/o any problem... [11:22] Is there a recommended way for installing Java, JRE, icedtea and everything I need to run a java applet in the browser? [11:22] hnsz, 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 monitors [11:23] Atlantic777: I would recommend using Oracle Java SDK [11:23] Atlantic777: as it know to work on most web applets [11:23] LinuxMonkey: ok [11:24] jongbergs: I've seen some PPAs and stuff, is there something official or just to install the SDK from oracle website? [11:24] Atlantic777: i use oracle-java7-installer , https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java , but the post-instation script nees some twick [11:24] tweak [11:24] Atlantic777 personal i like the non free option, you havefollow there instructions not use repos insome casese [11:24] hnsz is there anyway to set a seperate wallpaper on that 2nd monitor? [11:24] kapz: 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. [11:25] minimec, thanks but tried it already, all in vain....ubuntu doesn't like my laptop [11:26] can anyone tell me about dialer software which can work on PRI ,and its CRM too...please help [11:27] kapz: Just tell me it's a 'vaio'... I would understand then. Always had some problems with these machines... [11:28] Mimic the partition apps just work ifa live cd, gparted or partition manager, or the installer fails on the disc, its damaged or user error [11:28] ciao...a tutti [11:28] buona domenica [11:28] !it [11:28] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:28] !list [11:28] ale2: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic.

[11:29] lol [11:30] another listalian [11:31] can any one tell about PRI dialer software [11:35] Have just obtained an old pc that has ubuntu 11.10 installed on it. I'm more familiar with Mint. Problem is I can't -AT ALL! - get adobe flash to work. And so far none of the suggestions that others say worked for them hasn't worked for me. Any ideas? [11:35] install windows xp [11:35] MonkeyDust, thanks!! Partitioning with gparted didn't give any error message, I hope this time it will install(it's my 4th time now!).... :) [11:36] Runman ive not tried the predictive dialers for linux, but i understand they rrobust and feature rich [11:37] brightsparks: Well... What did you try to make it work? I guess you tried that... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=flashplugin-installer [11:38] Is there a way to setup different wallpapers for other monitor when using nvidia in twinview [11:38] LinuxMonkey: not that I know of… so I use a nice tile [11:39] LinuxMonkey: Yes there is, but you have to switch your WindowManager to e17 (enlightenment e17). [11:39] its cool i can make a wallpaper that will work [11:40] LinuxMonkey: minimec: meh, you shouldn't be seeing the wallpaper if you're busy anyway. [11:40] minime: hi. No I don't think I tried that suggestion. Tried all the usual though like downloading and installing form Adobe and also using the synaptic. Anyway I'll try that page you suggested. Thanks. [11:40] minimec: hi. No I don't think I tried that suggestion. Tried all the usual though like downloading and installing form Adobe and also using the synaptic. Anyway I'll try that page you suggested. Thanks. [11:41] aethelrick, its more for aesthetics.lol [11:42] I 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] aethelrick: 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'. [11:43] Can anyone help me? [11:43] /home/ispirto/Downloads/expect-0.3.1/expect-0.3.1/php_expect.h:33:17: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory [11:43] looks like you need to install the tcl development packages [11:43] brightsparks: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer' in a console.

[11:44] ispirto: it should be tcl8.X-dev i think [11:44] minimec: ok [11:45] Hoyt, tcl8.5-dev is already the newest version. [11:45] minimec: LinuxMonkey: all sounds very nice :) [11:45] minimec: "flashplugin-installer is already the newest version" [11:46] * aethelrick works on his PC, hasn't seen the wallpaper in years [11:46] Hi, Ubuntu 12.04 or Xubuntu 12.04 more appropriate for a old Pentium4 2.8GHz 1GB RAM (Dual-boot with Windows XP) [11:46] minimec: I don't seem to have java plugin in firefox-would that affect the flash? [11:46] Hoyt, installed 8.4-dev, too [11:46] no luck [11:47] hi [11:47] hi people [11:47] brightsparks: nope, java is java, flash is flash… different things [11:47] ispirto: so the include path was wrong [11:47] Hey guys, has anyone else had trouble with chromium not showing open windows in the dock ? [11:47] minimec: ok [11:47] it's in /usr/include/tcl [11:47] hey guys i got a problem [11:47] how to point there? [11:47] eg I can have a window open, but clicking on chromium icon just opens a new one.. [11:47] but this is very stupid [11:47] ispirto: maybe the CXXFLAGS or CFLAGS was rong [11:47] brightsparks: Ok. Well. Normally you should have it installed then. Check /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for some flashplugin. [11:48] Pupuser: the factor may be your video card, but I would assume xbuntu would have fewer headaches on that machine [11:48] i want a network manager applet like ubuntu in backtrack [11:48] brightsparks: try dpkg-reconfigure flashplayer-installer , this will re-download the flashplugin [11:48] !rootirc > root_ [11:48] root_, please see my private message [11:48] root_: install nm-applet [11:48] root_ !backtrack| root_ [11:48] !backtrack| root_ [11:48] root_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[11:54] brightsparks: flashplayer-installer is the package and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure' is the command to reconfigure it to its default settings. In your case, it would download the flashplayer again and install it [11:55] who pick the funny name "ubottu" [11:55] Sidewinder: would you be able to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 based on those hardware specification? [11:55] LinuxMonkey: yu may. [11:55] minimec: ok this is what I got when I typed it in terminal: Package `flashplayer-installer' is not installed and no info is available.

Mouse is some time hanging in the log in [12:16] screen, however if I disconnect it from the USB port and cononnect it again it becomes operational. Any suggestions? [12:16] Is this channel logged anywhere? [12:16] !log [12:16] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [12:17] Ok following minimec advice to run " dpkg-reconfigure flashplayer-installer" and normatif's correction that it's flashplugin installer I have the flash reinstalled. Will it work this time? I'll get back to ya all... [12:18] aethelrick: re java & flash. Ok thanks. [12:18] is there a way to have a shortcut to make a windows go full screen? [12:21] mbucko, try F11 [12:22] Hi ..i just put sabayan on a vm and it dont reconize apt-get statement have i got to download aplitude.? [12:22] hallo ich hab unbuntu installiert und jetyt kommt grub fail 17 was soll ich machen_ === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial [12:22] that worked! thanks [12:22] mbucko: create a window rule for your specific app [12:22] decksmasher: you should use equo on sabayon [12:22] has anyone tried 12.04 on thinkpas x220 ? [12:22] thinkpad [12:22] a_gn: me [12:22] Hoyt Ty [12:22] Hoyt: how's it ? [12:22] Hey everybody! I am a bit stuck with these blueish youtube videos. I use Google Chrome and I was so happy when I saw that videos have nice normal colors when they're played with the html5 player. Now wouldn't it be possible to have ALL videos to play with html5? Does anybody have a clue about that? [12:22] a_gn: thinkpad x220 4290 jy9 [12:23] a_gn: everything funtions , finger tool not tested [12:23] !de > user_ [12:23] user_, please see my private message [12:23] ok [12:23] a_gn: think finger is not ready in repository yet [12:23] what's the cpu temperature like ? [12:23] a_gn: wait a moment [12:23] Lorra: first of all: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue [12:23] I'm running debian 6.0 and cpu goes upto 60C sometimes [12:23] a_gn: around 47 C [12:24] any idea as to why my intel wifi card on my hp laptop won't work? [12:24] a_gn: from coretemp kernel module [12:24] Lorra: and while many YouTube videos are available in HTML5, not all of them are [12:24] maybe I should connect my usb wifi adapter and try updating? [12:24] can you tell me the temp when you play a movie or flash vid (youtube) ? [12:24] a_gn: wait a moment [12:25] I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I have a harddrive with full disk encryption from my old Debian install. When trying to mount it in Nautilus I get "Unable to mount 2.0 TB LVM2 Physical Volume. Not a mountable file system." I'd like some help accessing it. [12:26] a_gn: around 50 C for youtube [12:26] a_gn: I have a lenovo x121e I use these custom power settings. They should also work with the x220... /etc/default/grub: i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 pcie_aspm=force [12:27] newbun: try 'sudo apt-get install lvm2' and try again [12:27] minimec: does it bring down the temperature ? [12:27] yeats: it's already installed [12:27] yeats, thank you, hoped not having to hack anything though, but just sticking with the nice html5 [12:28] i tried those settings but i my mute button stopped working after that [12:28] a_gn: The x220 is intel i5/ HD3000 right? Definitly. Runs much cooler and much longer on battery... [12:28] yeah [12:28] ok [12:29] does it remember the brightness settings ? [12:29] does anyone in here dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 with the Fedora beta? [12:30] jhutson456: what's your problem ? [12:30] a_gn: Nope. But you could write a script and put it in rc.local or so. [12:30] I can't get it to work. [12:30] I use xbacklight now and if i pass the above to the kernel, xbacklight doesn't work [12:30] jhutson456: you mean the os prober ? [12:30] whichever I install last is the only one which boots, I don't get the grub menu [12:30] Lorra: you could also test out gnash [12:30] what tool do you use for seting brightness ? [12:30] !gnash | Lorra [12:30] Lorra: Gnash is an open-source Flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [12:31] yeats, what kind of performance has it? [12:31] yeats, you know that? [12:31] Lorra: there is also lightspark [12:32] I've tried a few different ways and nothing seems to work [12:32] Lorra: last time I used it (about a year ago) it was pretty decent on You Tube and a bit spotty on everything else [12:33] newbun: you might need to fuss with enabling the volume groups and logical volumes then. [12:33] !info lightspark [12:33] lightspark (source: lightspark): High-performance SWF player (experimental). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.5-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 98 kB, installed size 795 kB [12:33] auronandace, yeats I have no intention of experimenting something which might work or not and I've always had the impression that those replacements don't have the expected behaviour [12:33] brb [12:33] it doesn't make sense having something which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't [12:33] newbun: a good resource is http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ [12:34] Lorra: then enjoy using a proprietry flash [12:34] Lorra: that's the Flash curse ;-) Linux support is and will always be not so great [12:34] Lorra: and that's on the Flash side, not the Linux side, btw ;-) [12:34] is the top-panel supposed to show up on the lock screen? [12:35] auronandace, I do, as it works better, not due to scarce ability of open source developers [12:35] yeats, auronandace when it'll be all in html5 I'll be happy to use only html5 [12:35] How can I stop ubuntu/lubuntu from loading the dm on boot? My machine boots and then quickly flashes the lubuntu splash screen before going blank, Ctrl-Alt-F2 doesnt work... What can I do? [12:36] Lorra: as will we all ;-) [12:36] yeats: Thanks. [12:36] jhutson456: are you still there ? [12:36] Lorra: a lot of people will be happy when html5 rules, but to blame open source projects on not being able to reimplement a proprietry "standard" is rather obsurd [12:37] minimec: too bad , a_gn is gone , he could use /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness [12:37] jhutson456: did you boot fedora with ubuntu's grub or fedora's [12:37] hello === Rider is now known as atome [12:37] auronandace, if you look at what I've written there's a not [12:37] Hello there. I'm an issue with an IDT 92HD81B1C5 audio card. Does anyone else have this issue? [12:38] folks, I hate to say it, but don't you think this discussion is a little o-t? [12:38] auronandace, which says that the fact these open source replacements are imperfect is NOT due to scarce ability of open source developers [12:38] Hoyt: Well... Thanks... At least I may have a look at it. I noramlly adapt brightness with the hardware keys after boot. ;) [12:38] LucasCampos: why don't you describe your issue, then we might be able to help you [12:38] Hehe, I wasn't very specif, was I? I have no sound on my headphones, but I do have it when using my speaker [12:39] minimec: thank you , now I come the idea to write a script to store the brightness value and restore it on boot [12:39] LucasCampos, do you use Unity? [12:39] hallo ich hab ubuntu installiert aber ich hab jetzt des problem das nicht mehr startet [12:39] wei- einer rad_ [12:39] LucasCampos, which version of Ubuntu you have? 12.04 or 11.10? [12:39] LucasCampos: when you plug in your headphones, usually pulse switches to the headphones' profile, what does sound settings show when you have your headphones plugged in? [12:39] !de | user_ [12:39] user_: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [12:40] galfx: Lorra: Not nowadays, but when I tried it on Ubuntu 12.04, I had this same issue. I'm using an Xubuntu 12.04, clean install. I had not this problem on 11.10 [12:41] LucasCampos, sorry, I don't use XFCE, I don't know what its sound management looks like [12:41] Lorra: It looks like the gnome one. But it is unmuted. [12:41] Lorra: I also tried alsamixer, and there it was also unmuted === Zhang is now known as Guest33236 [12:42] using csound i get these warnings since 12.04 http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/407762/. do i have to install sth? [12:42] Lorra: galfx: Here is my alsa-info output: wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh [12:43] Lorra: galfx: Oops. Here it is: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=765a8c1b550e489b795a222aa2fbe8794d2d6413 [12:43] LucasCampos, maybe XUbuntu uses ALSA, but maybe it's using PulseAudio, whose relation with ALSA is not completely clear to me yet [12:44] how to get ubuntu classic desktop (which was available in U 11.04 ..one which resembles windows ) ? [12:44] Lorra: pulseaudio by default [12:44] LucasCampos: did you try muting/unmuting after plugging in your headphones? [12:44] gaelfx: Yes [12:44] LucasCampos: when you plug them in, does sound stop coming out of the speaker? [12:45] it's a legacy bug .. you can't mute when headphones plugged in , donno if it's solved yet [12:45] !notunity | shafeeqes [12:45] shafeeqes: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [12:45] galfx: No, it does not. But it also did not unmute on 11.10, but the headphones worked there [12:46] galfx: I can see there's a version mismatch on my alsa versions. Could it be the source of the problem? [12:46] What the heck is wrong with Flash on Linux at the moment? Both on Arch Linux and now on Ubuntu, this happens: First, the videos are blue. Then I apply a fix (Turn off Hardware Acceleration), but then if I start watching videos on YouTube or play music from it in the background, I can be certain that in about 10 minutes my Xorg session will suddenly shut down and I will lose all my work. [12:46] I have an Nvidia card. [12:46] LucasCampos: so the sound comes out of the speakers even with headphones plugged in? It sounds like the headphones aren't being detected [12:46] minimec: i just finished the brightness script , do you want it ? [12:46] Hoyt: I did some script for another laptop... Looks like this. Copy it to /etc/init I called it 'brightness.conf'. It will be used by upstart. http://pastebin.com/ [12:46] LucasCampos: it certainly can't be helping [12:46] galfx: Isn't impossible [12:46] Hoyt: ;) [12:46] minimec: let me see ;) [12:47] galfx: On my alsa-info there's this information: [12:47] !!ALSA Version !!------------ Driver version: 1.0.24 Library version: 1.0.25 Utilities version: 1.0.25 [12:47] LucasCampos: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:47] Hoyt: This was for a toshiba ac100 (arm device) [12:47] my qbittorrent client is not following the system icon theme. can anyone please help me fix it ? [12:47] ubottu ok [12:47] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [12:47] :) [12:47] ?? [12:47] Hoyt when I install Fedora first it uses the Fedora grub but only Fedora is in it. If I install Ubuntu first there is no grub menu at all [12:48] galfx: Should I try to upgrade it all to 1.0.25? [12:48] Hoyt: Basically I have to adapt my script to /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness and modify the values. === harry is now known as Guest71686 [12:48] LucasCampos: I don't think that actually indicates a verison mismatch [12:49] mimor: i use init.d scritpt , let me spend few minutes to figure out how /etc/init works [12:50] Hello everyone, i got nfs mw working on wine, but when the game is played, it gets highly pixelated. I couldn't understand a thing. Could some one help me get out of this mess? On Ubuntu 12.04 [12:50] LucasCampos: but if the 1.0.25 driver is available, I say have a go at installing it [12:50] bavani, #winehq is the place for particular app help [12:51] but no one there answers back [12:51] bavani, then be patient [12:51] k [12:51] i'll wait [12:51] gaelfx: Looks like those version numbers are steplocked: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page [12:53] LucasCampos: I would be more concerned that the speakers don't stop when the headphones are plugged in. Have you seen anything to indicate that the system is recognizing the headphones are in? [12:55] I got a question about something in C++ with classes. [12:55] Is there a simple way to get X to use the same mode as was used during install in 12.04? My crappy LCD monitor can't take whatever frequency is default, but it worked fine during the installation. [12:56] zKarp: might wanna ask that in #programming [12:56] ok thanks [12:57] zKarp: I'm not sure if that's actually the correct room name [12:58] Where should I place themes in order for them to be recognized by Gnome/Ubuntu? [12:59] Adobe flash Settings Manager dialog box in Ubuntu 12.04 is not click-able, how can I resolve this kind of issue? [12:59] How do I disable the encryption of home folder? [12:59] It's causing a lot of problems. [13:00] Maya, blame Adobe for making substandard software [13:01] Stereocaulon: Seriously. A lot of people has this problem and it seems to relate to gnome-do or unity. I don't have this problem in unity 2D. [13:01] how come do-release-upgrade forces you to use the slow gb.archive.ubuntu.com? [13:01] hello [13:01] with the only way to choose another mirror being to edit /etc/apt/sources.list [13:01] kierank: it shouldn't. What mirror were you using? [13:01] Are the repositories in Kubuntu and Xubuntu the same as in Ubuntu or do you have to add them? [13:02] kierank: it uses whatever you have set in software sources [13:02] Maya, sorry for my position on this, but on my box I see more "Sorry, the Flash plugin has crashed" then actual Flash content. That's why I blame Adobe. [13:02] yes but if you change the software source in the gui it reverts back to gb.archive... [13:02] What the heck is wrong with Flash on Linux at the moment? Both on Arch Linux and now on Ubuntu, this happens: First, the videos are blue. Then I apply a fix (Turn off Hardware Acceleration), but then if I start watching videos on YouTube or play music from it in the background, I can be certain that in about 10 minutes my Xorg session will suddenly shut down and I will lose all my work. [13:02] Shape: The basic ones are the same, you're not missing any really [13:02] kierank: also it is normal that the servers are slow, couple days after release and all [13:02] the servers are fine. it's just that the upgrade script forces you to use a slow one [13:02] and there's no easy way of changing [13:02] ThePendulum: Thanks! [13:03] anyone know how to get the wallpaper clock screenlet to work in 12.04? [13:03] kierank: edit /etc/apt/sources.list to whatever source you want to use, but the GUI method should also work. [13:03] that's what i did [13:03] the gui didn't work [13:03] but really it should round robin it [13:04] i upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 - now the side bar is there all the time, how do i set it to hide like it used to? [13:04] i'm using 12.4, keepassx in gnome-classic (observed same problem in 11.10/unity): the username i have configured is "zombie", when i autotype it, it turns to "yombie" - which looks like a us/de keyboard mess-up. any hint? basically all my system is installed in en/us [13:04] sven_ when you press y does it type "z" ? [13:04] magicJ: system settings>appearance>behaviour [13:04] *behavior [13:05] is there a linux alternative to foobar music player? [13:05] kierank: btw when I said edit the sources.list I meant edit it to the server you want to use for the current release, update and then do-release-upgrade. [13:05] IdleOne: yes i know but it's silly [13:05] because the upgrade script should not just lock to one server [13:05] shape, no. not at all. but what i just realize: i'm running an all-us system, just keyboard is de [13:06] kierank: I upgraded yesterday and it used the sources I have set. [13:06] sven_ Yeah, You can set the keyboard layout though [13:06] shape: well, i *do* have a de keyboard [13:07] shape: and that works quiet well. just keepassx-autotype messes it up [13:07] halfie: DeadBeef, QuodLibet [13:07] captainjamie: ty [13:07] sven_ Oh I see. I apologize but I don't know how to solve that. Maybe someone else will. [13:08] shape: thanks anyway [13:10] Jordan_U: are you still here :) ... i have screen now, but as you said, i need to take the 'nomodeset' out of the configuration -- i did it once, but it didn't persist as i must not know what i'm doing. could you walk me through the best way to alter and save? [13:13] Hi, when installign 12.04 using the alternative installer I didn't get gnome/unity stuff installed. Is there a clean/easy way to install the unity desktop? [13:15] magicJ: Change that in appearance behavior. [13:15] fatbrain: sudo apt-get install unity [13:15] Maya: ty - captainjamie already got that for me - but thanks [13:15] Maya: thanks. [13:16] You might need lightdm as well. [13:16] Maya: it was included as a dependency [13:17] Ah okies, then you're good to go there. [13:17] 568 packages and 663 mb to download / install [13:18] join [13:19] join [13:20] honey, you need the "/" to precede join.. [13:20] yesterday i had a screen problem (no screen) that someone helped me with -- in the end i updated to a newer version which mostly fixed the problem, but we altered a file in the 'grub file?' from gdm cmdline linux' to 'nomodeset' and now i need to restore it to default, but i don't remember how to get to the file, alter it, and then save it, and exit.

[13:36] ulmd, usually wine-installed programs go to ~, but you can configure that don't expect too much from wine [13:36] is it normal to have a cpu load of approx 20% when doing nothing at all? running precise [13:36] and could this be related to ati drivers? [13:36] well sven_ ... i'm new to the whole thing ... just thought i try it out :) ... [13:37] mello_, using unity? [13:37] rymate1234 yes [13:37] probably [13:37] although unity should use the GPU [13:38] mello_: How do you check the CPU speed? [13:38] rymate1234, this is the first unity version that runs smooth on my ati card. when i look in sys monitor there isn't anything specific that has abnormal cpu use and yet it does state 20 approx allt he time. Maybe i should consult a command or conky? [13:39] ThePendulum, look in /proc/cpuinfo [13:39] hmmm [13:39] Stereocaulon: I can't really find anything on the current speed [13:39] I use the FOSS driver [13:39] i would say it's not unity but idk. i'm compiling now and there is no change in performance on the desktop [13:40] ie transitions between desktops are still smooth [13:40] Oh wait, apparently cpu MHz -does- indicate the current speed, and apparently my CPUs are just running at 100%, some of them [13:40] Guys [13:40] ThePendulum, I see a line "cpu MHz : 2003.000", don't you see a similar line in your /proc/cpuinfo ? [13:40] I have combined unity and gnome-fallback [13:40] http://i.imgur.com/MNVn1.png [13:40] ulmd, good luck then - wine is not bad either - check appdb.winehq.org before [13:40] Stereocaulon: I do, but I thought it indicated the capacity of my CPU, for it showed 3200MHz [13:41] Hey, guys. Is there a plugin for visible indentation lines in gEdit?

[13:41] maybe i should just go back to dual boot or something [13:41] Stereocaulon: Too bad, lol. It says 3200Mhz for two of my cores, and 800Mhz for the other four... seems overkill [13:42] ThePendulum,, you lucky bastard, you've got quite a rig there ;-) [13:42] escott, ok let's do it, but question, do i need a md (RAID) for run it? [13:42] ulmd, i'm gaming with wine - but there a some games i just don't play, as they wont run in wine. make sure you install the proprietary graphic drivers, if you want to play [13:42] Stereocaulon: Hehe, AMD Phenom II X6 1090T...

That's not what I was asking :P [15:18] But it doesn't matter anyway anymore, lol [15:18] Barridus: the one from the repo didnt work for me,so i downloaded it from dropbox's website and that worked [15:19] also, when I run a Windows game via Wine, is there any way to auto-hide the Unity panel and the Global Menu panel ?

Correct me if I'm wrong [15:24] why is that so KM0201 [15:24] intore: i guess you could try that [15:24] pakistanish: because using alien to install an RPM is just a bad idea [15:24] !badidea [15:24] lol [15:24] ok [15:24] oracle is sun-java6, not openjdk [15:24] On the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 on my laptop, the gnome battery status app no longer is available.

I have now fixed the first issue, but the trackpad no longer works in X :\ [15:36] dysoco, hmmmm, i wonder if the dropbox site's deb will work [15:36] lol [15:36] iceroot, seems that info is a bit outdated. 12.04 does not use the same packages, [15:36] iceroot: That is weird, this is pretty much a vanilla ubuntu 12.04 install..

It says I'm running 10.04.4... I'm confused now.

[16:35] you have to install ettercap-gtk [16:35] but is not in the repos of 12.04 [16:35] there is ettercap-graphical [16:36] Does anyone now of a way of how to track what apt-get does to the system? What it changed/added/deleted etc [16:36] some sort of log [16:36] wait a min blastermaster [16:36] OnHaLT: Mine is a very hacky way of getting it accomplished... just add the user to the admin group. [16:36] L3top do i type the add in terminal ? [16:36] Akaitora, I have never seen a distro-upgrade reboot to finish, could you explain more. [16:36] ok [16:37] yes OnHaLT. sudo adduser username admin where username is the user name in question [16:37] monvillalon: Look in /var/log/dpkg.log [16:37] minimec: thanks, i need to know what a package is installing, that is making my virtual machine unusable [16:38] Since Ubuntu enables tcp6 by default, is this a security issue if my router does not recognize tcp6? [16:38] how can i get around invalid arch independent ELF magic grub error at reboot after installation? [16:38] Fyodorovna: 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. By the end it said that the system needed to be rebooted to complete installation. When I did restart my computer, the aforementioned condition happened [16:38] monvillalon: Good article here... http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-show-apt-log-history.html [16:38] L3top same error is not in sudoers file this incident will be reported [16:39] minimec: thanks a lot [16:39] Besides have codes working out of the box - what are the advantages of using Linux Mint over Ubuntu? [16:39] Master [16:39] Akaitora, ah not sure of where to start, are you backed up? [16:39] OnHaLT: you are going to need to log onto an existing account that HAS sudo priveleges. [16:40] blastermaster: type sudo apt-cache search ettercap give me the output of the command [16:40] L3top there is only 1 account [16:40] ok [16:40] hey. I have problem with my apt-get, after I added ppa for php5.4, no metter what I install, delete, whatever the output always the same: http://paste.ubuntu.com/955458/ [16:40] Fyodorovna: I'm afraid not, but it doesn't matter, I'm willing to format if that's what it takes, I just wanna discard any other possibility of fixing it [16:40] I already tried apt-get remove -f and apt-get install -f [16:40] how to make iso as apt source? [16:40] nothing works [16:40] any help? [16:40] i have mount iso to /home/jameslord/iso [16:40] OnHaLT: That doesn't make sense to me OnHaLT. What did you do that broke sudo? [16:41] hello [16:41] ettercap-common - Multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched LAN [16:41] ettercap-graphical - Ettercap GUI-enabled executable [16:41] ettercap-text-only - Ettercap console-mode executable [16:41] Akaitora, almost any OS can be fixed, for me personally it is a matter of efficiency ion how long a install or fix is. [16:41] s/ion/in [16:42] L3top i installed linux for the first time an hour ago used alternative cd and when asked me to creat user i created this user only [16:42] Fyodorovna: well, seeing as I don't have a backup, something I can do to fix it without losing data? [16:43] How do I get rid of the shadow protruding from the top panel via ccsm? [16:43] well, I'm not sure where to start with this :( [16:43] blastmaster:try sudo apt-get install ettercap-graphical [16:43] I have some usb-sound card issues after I upgraded from ubuntu 11.10 64bit to 12.04 32bit (reinstall). Alsa seems to find it and recognise it (visible in alsamixer). How do I diagnose the problem from this point? [16:43] check if you can get a gui [16:43] i already did it says is installed [16:43] can someone help me with setting nautilus as the defualt file manager on xfce? [16:43] but does not launch [16:44] hi everyone, i somehow deactivated the appmenu back in oneiric but cannot find how to reenable it again installing the app-menu packages didn'T do the trick, any ideas ? [16:44] blastermaster: compile the shit from source [16:45] LOL [16:45] thanks [16:45] hi [16:45] i wanted to dist-upgrade, but my internet connection broke down so I killed it by ctrl-c [16:45] now my system thinks, it's a precise pangolin and doesn't want to upgrade any further [16:45] If I select it in sound settings, nothing happens; If i force it as the default sound card, i get audio fast forward in my player and hear nothing. [16:46] jameslord: man sources.list [16:46] jameslord: not tried myself but I guess you can use file:/ access [16:47] toscho, your description is not specific enough, if you upgraded to precise your up to date no updates for a coiuple of days. [16:47] I really like Ubuntu 12.04 on my server [16:47] it's awesome [16:48] blastermaster: do you launch ettercap-graphical [16:48] Guys how do I disable the shadow on the top panel in ccsm? [16:48] Fyodorovna: I tried using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f to no avail, same with sudo apt-get update [16:49] so apparently my wireless connections aren't working either [16:49] can someone please help me? [16:50] Hey. 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] Akaitora, 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] I see [16:50] timmy__: what do you need help with [16:50] so basically is going with a fresh start [16:50] OnHaLT: 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. [16:51] Hi [16:51] Akaitora, you might try installing the gnome-shell and see if gnome 3 desktop runs. [16:51] @pyboy how do i set nuatilus as my defualt file manager in xfce [16:51] !help | timmy__ [16:51] timmy__: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:52] timmy__: did you google search it [16:52] L3top not odd at all thank you for your help and also thanks to other guy too [16:52] Hi, anyone want an i7 Server for really cheap? [16:52] Well, sorta cheap [16:52] you don't pay me [16:52] you pay for a whmcs licence [16:52] dude this isn't ebay [16:53] @pyboy the reason why i came here was to look for a more precise answer [16:53] I know, but I need WHMCS, and have an old server that I don't use [16:54] I didn't finish the update. it wanted to download some package information, but couldn't anymore [16:54] Why doesn't Ubuntu want to rely on mono? What's so bad about it? [16:54] so it hang (forever) until i killed it with ctrl-c [16:54] Anyone want a free server in return for a WHMCS licence? [16:54] toscho: Try Synaptic. It has a great option to automatically fix broken dependencies [16:54] upset what's so good about Mono, other than the wet dream of a Monkey? [16:54] I was using secure-delete to overwrite the unused portion of my hard drive. Takes forever; is there something faster/better? [16:55] marcm: What is this I don't even [16:55] jackhadrill, you will not get an answer here, this is a support channel for ubuntu [16:55] upset, it was mostly unnecessary and took a relevant part of the default CD size. [16:55] upset by the looks of it it's a half of a sentense [16:55] jackhadrill what kind of server? [16:55] Hi. MP3 audio files work fine. pulseaudio is installed and I've no problems, but Flash videos have no sound (youtube). What can I do ? [16:56] marcm, take it to pm please [16:56] Daekdroom: Really? I mean, I keep finding packages that depend on it. [16:56] upset, then whenever you install those packages, you'll install Mono. [16:56] timmy__:cant help sorry [16:56] Fyodorovna which discussion? [16:56] Daekdroom: Tasque and Pinta depend on it. [16:56] marcm, about the server [16:56] marcm, the off topic server trade [16:56] Daekdroom: I know. [16:57] I have chrooted ubuntu 12.04 and installed my all necessary software such as KDE,GNOME and other software such as VLC,Gimp etc. I just want to load the Live CD in KDE Interface as default . Can anyone give me any hint please that how i can do this? [16:57] Fyodorovna I was just curious [16:57] Once 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] Daekdroom: I'm just wondering if I'm necessarily installing some insidious bloatwhere. [16:57] marcm, you guys could also try #ubuntu-offtopic [16:57] upset, there's some strong criticism towards Mono. [16:57] easy-gui is it a Kubuntu CD? [16:58] Daekdroom: Yes, but what is it? Where can I find it? [16:58] Will Thunderbird 12 come to precise or do I need to add some PPA? [16:58] Daekdroom: I'd like to understand the issue more fully [16:58] Marcm there? [16:58] bye [16:58] Bye! [16:59] gmachine_24, No , it is Ubuntu CD , Just i installed GNOME and KDE and want the CD to load KDE as default if possible [16:59] is there a way to stop x-nautilus-desktop from showing in my bookmarks? [16:59] easy-gui, if you are booting from the CD, the CD can't run something that isn't on the CD. I think. [17:00] krababbel, probably, just released it takes a few days for that special ubuntu tweak. [17:00] Fyodorovna: OK thanks [17:00] hello [17:01] upset, 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] krababbel, no sure really but with a release like ubuntu the updates start again soon. [17:01] melengo, hi. please ask your question or state your business. [17:01] Hi everybody :-) Is somebody used the fix (http://www.webalice.it/bernardi82/software/fixplymouth-natty) before ?? [17:01] Fyodorovna: wasn't sure, I'm used to security only udates and backports like in Debian. :) [17:02] gmachine_24, But KDE on the CD already ... and i think there is a configuration somewhere where i can indicate to startkde for the CD [17:02] krababbel, hehe ubuntu updates almost everyday enjoy. :) [17:02] easy-gui, then it is above my pay grade. sorry. [17:03] dang, crash after crash after crash [17:03] uzf, do you have a question? [17:03] easy-gui, logout of the desktop and choose kde [17:03] no [17:03] halp! my internet is disconnecting every other second after I updated to 12.04 [17:04] and reconnecting about instantly [17:04] Daekdroom: Only some claim it's heavy? What, like they can't do benchmarks? [17:04] wolter, wirelessly, I presume? [17:04] easy-gui, is this a remaster cd? [17:04] gmachine_24, yes [17:04] Fyodorovna, Yeah [17:05] Anyone on 12.04 has problem with Pidgin sounds ? [17:05] upset, I don't see how benchmarking would help [17:05] easy-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] wolter, you installed the software for the wireless chipset? [17:06] Daekdroom: To show what effect mono-based programs have on resource usage? [17:06] gmachine_24, I upgraded from 11.10 where I had everything configured and running fine, should I still install this software? [17:06] are there any howto to configure a win7 pxe server and install ubuntu through it? [17:06] upset, nobody is gonna write something in two different languages to compare the implementation. It's mostly a matter of opinion. [17:07] Fyodorovna, Thanks for advice. But i was just interest that if it is possible ... [17:07] easy-gui, there is probably a cli way from the first bot gui on the cd not sure what it is though. [17:07] I cant find applet 'giplet' in 12.04 LTS of ubuntu, is it removed? Can I get it back? [17:07] s/bot/boot [17:07] Fyodorovna: true, though can be a burden, I'll see, just entered at beta2. :) [17:07] In 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 advance [17:07] Daekdroom: I just don't understand how a performance issue could be immeasurable. [17:08] Fyodorovna, can i pm please? [17:08] easy-gui, sure but I doubt I can help. [17:08] wolter, if there is specialized software for the wireless chipset, then yes. and did you reboot after the upgrade? I'm guessing you had to. [17:09] Yes, in fact after the first reboot everything started crashing simultaneously, it was after the second reboot that things started to get normal [17:09] but this internet reconnection problem persists [17:09] gmachine_24, do you have a clue as to how can I identify this software to install it? [17:10] is there a actual problem with the ati catalyst driver and the new kernels on ubuntu distribution still an issue? i have the problem that on multimonitoring support the ati catalyst driver reset the virtual screen section ever to 2048x2048, but i need a bigger area! [17:10] is there a workaround? === ulkesh is now known as ulkesh|away [17:10] wolter, yes. you use the pull down menus from the top [17:11] wolter, administration, then additional drivers [17:11] someone help plz in fixing my microphone in 12.04 LTS [17:11] i am remastering the CD .... But still i did not able to change the boot splash (The big purple picture). Help please? [17:12] Hi,,I am searching for the built in software list in UBuntu Server…Where can I find it ? === end is now known as UbuBasher [17:12] rfictus: What's wrong with it? Did you check the settings in 'alsamixer'? [17:13] wolter, I don't know how others feel about this, but sometimes when I'm have wireless connectivity problems I install WICD and that seems to resolve the issue(s) [17:13] rfictus, are you sure the microphone works? [17:14] does 12.04 not support UEFI based systems??? [17:14] wolter, that doesn't 'seem' to resolve the issue(s), it does resolve it/them [17:16] gmachine_24, tried it once, and didn't work much :/ perhaps I should roll back the driver until the waters clear up [17:17] wolter, did you find additional drivers available for your wireless chipset? [17:17] gmachine_24, everything is to its latest version, I just peaked [17:17] wolter, peeked, but ok [17:17] can someone help me installing 12.04 on my EFI based machine.. [17:18] gmachine_24, thats right heh [17:18] install went without issues.. but on boot.. i got a grub rescue prompt [17:18] i didnt have this problem with 11.10 [17:18] wolter, I don't know about rolling back the drivers. Perhaps someone else can help you with that. [17:18] using fstab how to i could a SMB folder that has a space in the name?

Although any screen animation should stop if this is the case [19:21] anyone here [19:21] sherif: can you open the same pages in firefox? [19:21] shadowspell: ifconfig now shows an ip ? [19:22] boohbah im checking it takes long time sending request [19:22] sherif: then you probably need to fix your network connection [19:23] very sorry for stupid noobie question, but where can I find "All Programs" kind of menu, and how to access terminal? I can't find any icon / menu entry for it [19:23] Boohbah, do you know the answer to my question? [19:23] after a fresh install of 12.04 i am getting a no suck partition error and grub rescue [19:23] DasEi: it shows one more thing, etho avahi [19:23] bs0d, go to the dash [19:23] and search terminal [19:23] aberon: If you did a 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall default-jdk' Maybe that helps. [19:23] boohbah im connected when i use windows it works fine [19:23] minimec, seems to be fixed -- thanx again [19:23] mikubuntu_: No problem. [19:23] minimec, what does that install? open or sun [19:23] DasEi: and it show inet address on eth0:avahi [19:24] boohbah but in ubuntu always takes longer time to open n some sites never open [19:24] and Jordan_U thanks also for help yesterday [19:24] aberon: Default is openjdk-6-jdk [19:24] at what version? I need it to be about or on 30 [19:24] alankila thanks man [19:24] aberon: openjdk-7-jdk should also be in the repository. [19:24] bs0d: welcome, either alt+F2 enter gnome-rterminal, or in the guy it's located under more apps; softwre-center and syaptics for addional installs,, and you can chaange back to gnome or other if you like [19:25] no openjdk 7 thank [19:25] you [19:25] gnome-terminal*, bs0d [19:25] shadowspell: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [19:26] DasEi: btw what wm is used in ubuntu by default? [19:26] Can someone explain what words like "ubuntu", "debian", "fakesync", "git", "svn" do? Like how do they affect the package manager's preference of one package over another? [19:26] shadowspell: pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces [19:26] minimec, after doing that command, java -version doesn't bring up anything [19:26] o wait [19:26] sorry nvm [19:26] theadmin: a question like that is unanswerable. As far as I can tell, the words are not of the same class at all. [19:27] bs0d: lightdm I think, I'm not using unity either, but that works with gdm, too [19:27] aberon at the least you should see something like this is openjdk6 is installed [19:27] Selection Path Priority Status [19:27] ------------------------------------------------------------ [19:27] 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 auto mode [19:27] 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 manual mode [19:27] * 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 63 manual mod [19:27] kel_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I can understand that, say, 1.2 is obviously greater than 1.1 or 1.1.1, but which of "1.2ubuntu1" or "1.2ubuntu2" is greater? I can't make sense of this scheme of naming. [19:27] kel_, nah, java-version brings up a list of packages [19:28] no i mean when you go to config [19:28] you say it installed buy you see nothing [19:28] but* === altin_ is now known as altin [19:28] theadmin: 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] kel_, it brings up the same packages [19:28] shadowspell: pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf [19:29] kel_, yah, nothing is in /usr/lib/jvm/ [19:29] guys,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] unintall everything [19:29] theadmin: 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] i've downloaded the .iso file from the ubuntu site [19:29] and the pen is 8gb size [19:29] what could be wrong? [19:29] restart your systen aberon and then install both openjava6 and openjava7 [19:30] see if anything is in the configeration file at that point [19:30] no matter if you use 7 or not [19:30] something should show up [19:30] alankila: 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"?

If they need some bumping mechanism, they could just append a number after a dash or something\ [19:32] Question: So I updated from 11.10 to 12.04, and now my Broadcom driver isn't loaded. I go to the menu to load it, it says all of the applicable modules have been blacklisted [19:32] shadowspell: sudo apt-get install hwinfo && sudo hwinfo | pastebinit [19:33] theadmin: are you asking why the word ubuntu is in your example? [19:33] I need to figure out from what repository an application was installed, is this possible? I've installed a third party repository and need to figure out what came from where [19:33] DasEi: last stupid question. Sorry. How can I put icons I need quite often to desktop ( terminal, mail client, db admin software etc )? Its not very convenient to perform a search every time I need to run something [19:33] L3top: I can make sense of *that* word, but there is one version number which confused me entirely.

[19:35] theadmin: thank you, I'll try to do it [19:35] Hey folks. I just updated to 12.04, and I've found that the Activities menu in GNOME no longer displays my recent documents when I type there (even though the dock in Ubuntu still does).

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.

[19:50] new problem -- just tried to share a story on facebook, and noticed i have no docking tray at the bottom showing -- is that a gnome panel? [19:50] Boohbah: thanks! [19:51] Yerushalmi: I think the easiest way is with gsettings vendor overrides, http://paste.ubuntu.com/955897/ , copy that to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/unity-greeter.gschema.override then run: sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/; and restart lightdm, hopefully after that no drum beat [19:51] Yerushalmi: I would find the chime and echo > /path/to/chimename.mp3 [19:51] Yerushalmi: but that is a terribly hacky way to go about it. [19:51] does anyone knows how may I set a wallpaper slide in Ubuntu 12.04 [19:51] wait a minute --- if my new version is using UNITY then it's not a gnome panel, right? [19:52] nperry, what will that do ? [19:52] nooo [19:53] trism: How do I restart lightdm?

[19:59] Another question: I have a Firefox extension that puts the RSS feeds in my bookmarks in bold or faded out, depending on if they have new or unread items or the like. This doesn't seem to 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. The entire menu is in the same face. It works,... [19:59] ...however, in "GNOME". Anybody know how to get it working in "Ubuntu"?

[20:01] agentjrac: it is usually easier to do a clean install than an upgrade [20:01] Oh okay yeah I don't think walking away and going to lunch helped either. [20:01] lunch always helps === Robert_ is now known as Guest20432 [20:01] agentjrac,,, sorry,,, i didn't have trouble with the 11.10 update,, the 12.04 went smoothly [20:01] Well I am going to clean install the 12.04.

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 now [20:13] How do I set the boot flag off on a NTFS partition??? [20:13] guntbert: 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] weird [20:13] bs0d: I am surprised as well [20:13] anyone else have experience configuring and connecting to an XDMCP server? [20:13] dabeast_: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda, find your NTFS partition, select "Boot", it will set it off, then select "Write". Finally, "Quit".

I have found it from processes list running .. another question is how to turn it off from autostart? [20:14] bs0d: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:15] guntbert: I have found it from processes list running .. another question is how to turn it off from autostart? [20:15] bs0d: the package dnsmasq is *not* installed - let me have a look [20:16] When I try to upgrade to 12.04 it fails and the reason is "failed to get release notes" there is a second one now "check your internet connection" ... any suggestions?

It works, however, in "GNOME". Anybody know how to... [20:18] ...get it working in "Ubuntu"? [20:18] guntbert: it must have been installed from installation cd by installer and now from apt [20:18] bs0d: read what trism sent you [20:19] Yerushalmi: 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] bs0d: only dnsmasq-base is installed by default [20:20] trism: 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] theadmin: I like this idea, actually. I never did like the global menu. I wonder if it'll work. [20:20] Yerushalmi: 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] trism: according to !info dnsmasq-base it should be optional -- is there a bug somewhere? [20:21] Yerushalmi: The first thing I do after a ubuntu insatll is to uninstall all appmenu-* packages and firefox-globalmenu. It works ;) [20:21] trism: 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] theadmin: 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) === phpN00b_ is now known as phpn00b [20:22] Yerushalmi: there is one, but only available via ppa. it's called unsettings I think. You should find the link on webupd8.org [20:22] anyone know why my trackpad randomly stops working after upgrading to 12.04? [20:23] minimec, new problem -- just tried to share a story on facebook, and noticed i have no docking tray at the bottom showing -- is that a gnome panel? [20:23] trism: Oh, Im blind.

[20:24] MiroDownloader.py is sucking up everything from the CPU core it's running on, not cool. [20:24] Is downloading something too much to handle for my CPU? I mean, Jesus. [20:26] mikubuntu_: That is a unity question and I don't use that... Per default, the systry is empty now. You can create a 'whitelist' whit applications to show in the systry. I also guess that there is a facebook 'app' for your personal 'online' menu 'the letter icon'. [20:26] yes [20:26] hi, has anyone seen a 12.04 upgrade gone completely wrong; frozen at borked desktop? [20:26] can't even get to recovery mode from grub [20:26] totally pooched [20:26] djp, if you tried to upgrade "inline" then yes I'm not at all surprised that you b0rked your system [20:26] I don't even know why they provide that button [20:27] it wen way bad [20:27] it should read "Click Here to Play Russian Roullette with your System" instead of "Upgrade" [20:27] mikubuntu_: systray ;) This should do for the systray. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html [20:27] HELLO [20:27] ok, but from here with a frozen desktop and no access to recovery-mode or a termin or a VT, then what? [20:27] hola [20:27] cocolos Has left [20:27] !hi | ThE [20:28] I just finished installing SC2, everything seems to be running fine until I try to login. After that, it crashes. Can anyone help me with this? [20:28] What's up [20:28] pininja are you using wine? [20:28] sbauer: Yes. [20:28] guntbert: 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-desktop [20:28] how can i remap the Ctrl+Alt+T behaviour to a different program?? [20:28] PiNinja: #winehq for wine support, http://appdb.winehq.org may be helpful too [20:29] PiNinja, that's probably more a wine related problem, more so than a ubuntu problem. I would suggest visiting wine's help channel. [20:29] drPoO: Search for "Keyboard Shortcuts" and use that app [20:29] trism: thx for the clarification [20:29] theadmin: Thanks much! It works perfectly now. [20:29] sbauer: Alright, I'll do that. Thanks. [20:29] Yerushalmi: No probs... Weird problem though. [20:29] what do I do when recovery-mode sends me back to a borked desktop? [20:29] theadmin, I still want a terminal but one from terminator [20:29] what is this error: [20:29] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [20:30] drPoO: Remap it to "terminator" then. [20:30] I know, I can solve this error…but I want to know, why I'm getting this..? [20:30] theadmin: 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] geez, with 1700+ on this channel, it's kina impossible, isn't it? [20:30] I managed to switch that dnsmasq off, but still my /etc/hosts file doesn't get read for some reason :( [20:31] abhinavmehta: Well read. Exactly what it says... Just do the dpkg thing [20:31] I can't understand why :( [20:32] anyone have any issues with the x64 installer? gets to the welcome screen every time where I can click "install" or "try" and then it won't accept any input. mouse moves but no clicking, keyboard won't even register. ctrl+alt+delete doesn't even do anything. any ideas? [20:32] minimec: thanks for info…but I'm running "apt-get update" on remote-virtual instance….which is auto-handled by scripts….so I want to avoid this manual-intervention…and want to know, why I'm getting this..? [20:32] djp: what made you go back into recovery mode? [20:32] djp: as in what is the underlying proble [20:32] Is there any software for ubuntu users that qualitatively lowers the pitch of the guitar signals coming in?:) [20:32] THE BOX JUST BOOTS TO AN INCOMPLETE FROZEN DESKOP [20:33] (sorry for shouting) [20:33] djp: fresh installation? [20:33] abhinavmehta: Somehow the install process was interrupted. That can have multiple reasons... A broken package for example or other things. [20:33] no, upgrade from 11.10 [20:33] using the Russion Roulette button [20:34] problem solved. Thanks for help everybody [20:34] if I could get to any kind of terminal, I think I could fix it [20:34] djp: single user mode / rescue mode? [20:34] but no recovery mode, no VT, no xterm [20:34] minimec: hmm… [20:34] minimec: thanks :) [20:35] how do I boot to runlevel 3 from grub recovery mode ? [20:36] djp: doesn't recovery mode give you a menu to drop to a root prompt? [20:36] nope, just sends me back to the borked desktop [20:36] Does anybody know what is up with the gb ubuntu apt server. It is running like an absolute dog. [20:36] ChrisWoollard meaning? [20:37] it is slow [20:37] but sufficient [20:37] extermely [20:37] djp: append ro Single to the boot options [20:37] can anyone tell me why java -version says I have java installed, but I can't do any webstart things? [20:37] it has been downloading packages for about 6 hours [20:37] do you have javaws in your path? [20:37] b^j revoverymode requires you to log in as root. As ubuntu per default has no root password (You could of corce set one) this doesn't work so goos [20:37] aberon: ? [20:38] SolarisBoy, javaws? [20:38] aberon: yes [20:38] SolarisBoy, I am not sure. I do not know what that is [20:38] aberon: its the binary that loads a jnlp. [20:38] SolarisBoy, How do I check? [20:38] aberon: javaws -version [20:38] I was getting the kind of download speed you would expect from a dialup modem [20:38] dip: k, boot with a live cd or thumb drive and set a password or chroot and do your fix [20:39] 12.04 64bit installer hangs at opening screen. any way to get to console during CD boot? [20:39] it will thrown an error but show you the version still (as its not a valid option) but point being it shouldn't be command not found [20:39] pm [20:39] didnt want to flood main [20:39] minimec, thx i'll try to find a solution [20:39] new problem -- just tried to share a story on facebook, and noticed i have no docking tray at the bottom showing -- is that a gnome panel? [20:40] mikubuntu_: systray ;) This should do for the systray. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html [20:40] In short I'm having problems with 12.04. When selecting install ubuntu from a livecd it gives me the option to install a prior ubuntu version whilst keeping my personal documents. Does that actually work? [20:40] minimec, thx -- checkg it now [20:41] FredFuchs the live cd, which ubuntu version? [20:41] Does anyone know if AR9285 is supported by the kernel. [20:41] ? [20:42] MonkeyDust when I booted the 11.04 disc it said I could do that if I wished? [20:42] Just 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] FredFuchs what's bothering you, then, 11.04 is older than 12.04, i'm not getting it [20:43] dabeast_: it is with ath9k [20:43] I must say, HUD is very nice. [20:44] What a have to do to execute a .jar file? i have the jdk [20:44] Issues! I've been running 10.x for a while since my 11.xx experiences have kinda sucked, but I thought I'd try 12.04 on my windows box (modern i5, ssd and an older nvidia card) [20:44] Can someone help me with issues? I lose responsiveness for ~2 minutes whenever anything tries to use transparnecy. Already have nvidia drivers. [20:44] FredFuchs do you want to install an older version, go ahead, though I don't see the point in doing it [20:44] release party in north denver today. [20:44] MonkeyDust 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. [20:45] hi 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] FredFuchs yes, if you have a separate /home partition [20:45] Duke: when it asked where to install grub what did you say [20:45] FredFuchs: downgrades are *not* recommended/possible/supported [20:45] Hi, I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu 11.10 on a box that used to run earlier versions of Ubuntu fine. But I have since changed the card from a Geforce to a Radeon and Ubuntu just doesn't get on with it. === Piezochem is now known as Pyrat [20:46] Duke: I had a similar issue, flickering and all that, black screen one time. I rebooted a couple times then was able to install nvidia drivers. But it's just unusable slow [20:46] I posted about it on the official forum but nobody has replied to it yet (you can see a screenshot in there): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11875255#post11875255 [20:46] yeah - similar to what I had [20:46] MonkeyDust what do you mean by having a seperate home partition? [20:47] Is there an opportunity to hibernate in 12.04? [20:47] random832: i picked to use all disk [20:47] FredFuchs then all your personal files will be saved and just / will be reinstalled [20:47] Better question: How do I get this unusable 12.04 OFF my windows drive? I'll try it again when it's ready [20:47] hey, 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? [20:48] basically, it gets so hot that it auto shuts off pretty frequently [20:48] abeFM: i see.... i have a totaly black screen tho. and cursur blinking at upper left corner [20:49] minimec, fyi this commandline solution didn't work for me :: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html -- it's not an emergency issue -- i'm not going to worry about it, just going to go back to ubuntu classic till unity gets more together [20:49] Iḿ 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] abs: i have the same problem but it gets extremly hot and noisy under windows vista. [20:49] Duke: 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 drivers [20:49] abeFM: 3 times so far.... actually. i'm pretty new at this. don't even know to install drivers :( [20:50] mikubuntu: You will have the same problem, when it comes to the systray, I guess... [20:50] Can someone tell me how to remove the ubuntu/windows bootloader thing? [20:50] AbeFM: you would have to do a windows repair install [20:50] AbeFM you mean the grub menu? [20:50] anyone know why my sound input isn't working anymore in 12.04 ?? [20:51] I think so? It's very unlike the grub 1 and 2 I've used in the past [20:51] rfictus in Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM (mute), go there and press m [20:51] Can anyone help me with my 11.10 install problem? Thanks. [20:51] rfictus: did you upgrade to 24 kernel ? it broke my sound too. I went back to 23 [20:51] MonkeyDust: already did that [20:51] I already HAVE dual boot, on anotehr drive,but now I come into windows and I get a "windows boot loader" option. This was the "install ubuntu from within windows" thing I just thought I'd try [20:52] InferiorHumanOrg: sound is still working, except input [20:52] hi [20:52] AbeFM: Remove Wubi through Add/Remove programs [20:52] AbeFM you mean wubi? [20:52] rfictus: try going back to the 23 kernel and see if it works, they did something in 24... [20:52] InferiorHumanOrg: alright, any idea how to do that? [20:52] on 12.04 with ati I get "the desktop cannot be created becaause area is too large" how can I fix it? [20:52] rfictus: when your pc boots hold shift to enter the grub menu, then go to other linux versions and select the old kernel to boor. [20:52] boot* [20:53] InferiorHumanOrg: alright thanks, will try that, brb [20:53] if it works in 23. then 24 is broken for you as well. [20:53] yep. wubi [20:53] what is the terminal code to shutdown and restart but first close all programs [20:53] ?? [20:53] sudo shutdown -r now [20:53] rfictus: sudo shutdown -r now [20:53] :P [20:54] InferiorHumanOrg: that restarts in a brute force way [20:54] sudo restart also works [20:54] I want it to close the running programs first [20:54] Monkey: Will look for that. Is there an easy way to disable it without removing everything? I DO want to give 12.04 a chance, but I've spent ~2 hours to get ~10 mouse clicks in. [20:54] Is there no one aware of any software for ubuntu users that adequately lowers the pitch of the guitar signals coming in?? [20:54] rfictus: um idk then? that doesn't brute force.. it stops all the system services etc. just save / close anything your working on and do it that will be fine ... [20:55] What do I want the output of "rfkill list" to be? Both "no" for soft and hard block? [20:55] dabeast_: yea [20:55] k thanks ppl, booting to kernel 23 [20:55] Hi, can anyone explain to me how do a fresh install when Ubuntu doesn't seem to have the right driver for your video card? I'm trying to install on a machine with a Radeon 6670 card and the screen is just filled with gibberish. [20:55] the program 'ac' in the package acct is supposed to report the number of hours a user has been connected, however, ac -p is reporting currently 3.11 hours for a user account that was created 1 hour and 40 minutes ago. anyone have a clue whats up with that ? [20:55] That's going around Stanton [20:56] stantonwarrior: you will need to do a manual driver install then maybe? like from here [20:56] !ati | stanton [20:56] stanton: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [20:56] stantonwarrior, the alternative install cd should work [20:56] InferiorHumanOrg: lshw -C network shows wireless as "*-network DISABLED [20:56] I've already seen it with a few people, and once I got things working, it got so slow I can't use it [20:56] stantonwarrior, then you can use jockey-cli to see if you can install the driver [20:56] how would you image a partition? I'm trying to backup a partition on my laptop so I pulled the drive put it in an external usb chassis, and was running dd, but it kept crashing so I used ddrescue and it was able to fix errors, but now it's running at 3M/s (was 30 M/s earlier). [20:56] InferiorHumanOrg: How can I fix this? [20:57] stantonwarrior, warning. getting your video card to work could require the cli [20:57] hi i have a problem. sometimes my system freezes up, the desktop gets black, then you can see it again but can't control the mouse and unity 3d elements are missing sometimes. what can that be? it occurs randomly [20:57] dabeast_: hrm. i'm not sure then, have you tried bringing the interface up manually like. sudo ifup wlan0 [20:57] OK, will give that a shot thanks. [20:57] stantonwarrior, although, you can also use kernel cheatcodes to change to the vesa driver [20:57] stantonwarrior, I can not for the life of me remember how to do that though [20:58] stantonwarrior, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [20:58] three18ti: if there are disk errors that will happen, and the only thing you can do is adjust the retries [20:58] mouth1, does that happen when the screen goes black, and after you've "woken it up" again? [20:58] InferiorHumanOrg: ifconfig shows wlan0 as up. [20:59] rbnielsen, no it's during usage [20:59] i was surfing the web rbnielsen [20:59] Ah okay.. Just wondering.. [20:59] Hi, the microphone problem is working now. MonkeyDust & InferiorHumanOrg [20:59] then the mouse got stuck, then the screen turned black, then you could see the screen again with missing unity 3d elements [20:59] InferiorHumanOrg: back on kernel 17, only one I have [20:59] I dropped my ubuntu and broke the kernel [21:00] b^j so using a tool like clonezilla wouldn't necessarily make a difference as far as replication speed is concerned? (As I understand it they use different replication methods, dd being a block copy which is slower and clonezill which doesn't...) [21:00] InferiorHumanOrg: anyway to copy current kernel setting to kernel 24?? [21:00] please what is the command to se the amount of space left on my hard drive via the terminal? [21:00] I am adding some UUIDs to my fstab for auto-mount, where should I mount them too so they show up in the unity launcher bar? [21:00] mouth: My screen acts all goofy and the mouse gets stuck, but pretty sure it's all unity stuff. If I could turn it off it might be uusable [21:00] fayimora: df -h [21:00] fayimora: df -h [21:01] Thanks guys [21:01] three18ti: yes, but if you are getting read errors that may not work, you can give it a shot and it will be a lot faster if it works [21:01] or du -h or di -h depending on what exactly you want to know [21:01] finish06: I think /media should do. [21:01] I've been experiencing that the gui doesn't react when i wake it after the black screensaver. It helps by switching to a terminal and then back to where the gui is. [21:02] how do you do that rbnielsen ? [21:02] minimec, so if the drive name was AwesomeVideos, would I write "/media/AwesomeVideos" or would I write "/media?" [21:02] OK guys, am off to create an alternate install CD... bye 4 now [21:02] Can I get some help? Running Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome 3. Getting the error :error: no such device: 76e5d1b1-1fdc47bb-97fe-660dc407d99f grub rescue on startup [21:02] ctrl+alt+f1 and ctrl+alt+f7 [21:02] ApocGoD: Ouch sounds like grub didn't get written [21:02] thanks [21:03] My gui usually lies at f7 [21:03] finish06: There is a /media folder in the '/' folder. so /media/AwesomeVideos. With fstab you would also define accesslevel. [21:03] minimec, this is what I have --> UUID=08867eef-0dd6-4c51-a223-4d86ff571350 /media/MediaTwo ext4 user,auto 0 0 [21:03] I'm not sure it helps your problem, mouth1 [21:03] hmm, so I just configured GDM to be an XDMCP server, it works handily... now I would prefer to use XDM because it's so much more lightweight [21:03] but I haven't been able to get XDM configured properly [21:03] yeah rbnielsen [21:03] Anyone here tried compiling the plugins package for cairodock? Managed to build with alsa mixer applet? I get "package 'alsa' not found", but no matter what package I try the message is still the same(12.04). [21:03] I've got * in my Xaccess file(s) [21:03] Bsims, it was working fine a few moments ago. I shut down the computer and took out my secondary hard drive. [21:04] do I need something else? this seems to be basically the only setting that seems relevant in all the documentation that I've read [21:04] That probably has something to do with it, any idea how to fix it? [21:04] alguien en español [21:04] !es | negro_ [21:04] negro_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [21:04] ApocGoD: look at /etc/fstab [21:04] I can't get into Ubuntu at all, i'm on a secondary computer right now. [21:04] finish06: Ok. That should do I guess. [21:05] ApocGoD: Sorry I'm upgrading my windows drive or I'd drill down and tell you specificaly what to exit [21:05] ApocGoD: wierd sounds like your install was on the drive you removed [21:05] minimec, guesS? ok, I will give it a try... let me see what happens :) [21:05] brb [21:05] It's not, it's on the primary drive. [21:06] b^j, ok thanks. since I've gotten past the bad sectors and I'm more than 1/2 way through I think I'll let the ddrescue continue for now... keep your fingers crossed for me :) [21:06] Hello, upgrade 12.04 and I can not open ubuntu [21:06] sup my babies, what is up my babies [21:06] I really hope I dont have to install Ubuntu.. [21:06] how can i fix my ubuntu [21:07] ApocGoD: Hrm try booting off a livecd... maybe just as simple as rerunning grub [21:07] b^j, novel idea...: what if I fsck'd the partition? ... still I think I'll let this continue for now. [21:07] I have problems login in with my regular user, lightdm restarts on correct user password. if I remove ~/.Xauthority from another shell then it will login successfully, any ideas on what could be causing this? [21:07] ersoy: What does "can not open ubuntu" mean? [21:08] Select grub ubuntu, blank and black screen [21:08] Bsims, thanks. Will try that first.

[21:09] #ubuntu-server [21:09] can someone help me with "Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules" when i try to upgrade to 12 [21:09] oops, sorry about that [21:09] MonkeyDust, I dont know problem, I know only upgrade 11.10 to 12.04, and I can not open/start ubuntu ! [21:09] three18ti: if there are physical issues ddrescue is probably your best bet to get data back, i don't think fsck is the greatest at recovering data from bad blocks [21:10] ersoy did you get the grub menu? [21:11] b^j, the strange thing is the os boots on that partition... [21:11] hi, why the heck is firefox defaulting to adobe reader 9? i mean i didn't even voluntarily install that thing [21:11] HEY! If I have win7 and ubuntu dual-boot, can I access my win7 stuff when on ubuntu? How? e.g., can you give me an absolute path I can copy&paste which will let me access my C: drive? [21:11] three18ti: there might not be data or important data in the bad sectors [21:12] b^j, actually, to clarify, though it's /dev/sdX3 it's my primary partition. [21:12] howye lads [21:12] abs: mount your windows parition. and enjoy yourself. [21:12] how do i install 12.04 on my computer? [21:12] Cheers, running 12.04 with gnome-shell, but autostart applications don't autostart, anyone have any idea how to fix that? [21:13] AVP: with the dvd ;D [21:13] MonkeyDust, I dont remember, ubuntu Kernel x.x.x and windows Xp [21:13] abs use sudo fdisk -l to see on which partition your win7 is installed - mount that partition in ubuntu - usually, win is installed on /dev/sda1 [21:13] abs: may have to install the ntfs package but I do it all the time === ulkesh is now known as ulkesh|away [21:13] youdy: i don't know i download the ios and don't know what to do after that [21:14] ersoy what do you mean you don't remember, what system are you in now?

[21:16] abs: windows partition should be available automatically in /media [21:17] I get the error: "The desktop cannot be created because the area is too large" [21:17] https://lists.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-team/msg03258.html (search for ALSA_MIXER) shows the script code, but there's no package name in there that I can find(ubuntu 12.04) [21:17] MonkeyDust, I am sorry: I have got a one hdd, ubuntu and windows xp. I see update manager new ubuntu version and I updated 12.04, reboot pc I can not use/open/start ubuntu. blank and black screen. I use only windows xp. [21:18] does anyone else running 12.04 and gnome-shell, have trouble with autostart applications not starting? [21:18] * Bsims is running last version out of lazyness [21:18] do intel hd graphics run better than radeon HD? [21:19] are intel drivers better than ati drivers? [21:19] hey minimec ... so I entered that stuff into my fstab as we discussed, and this is what I get ... [21:19] http://imgur.com/3UPWF [21:19] * jwrigley is running an older version of lazyness, installing the newer version was too much work. [21:19] mouth1 define "better"? [21:20] MonkeyDust, more stable, no x server freezes, better 3d [21:20] mouth1: If you think about a new computer... Looks like the new Ivy bridge that intel is launching, is very competitive on linux. [21:20] so it does auto mount the mediaone drive, but it adds another ugly mediaone drive icon, that "doesn't exist" .... [21:20] how can i make compiz stop using so much cpu? [21:20] mouth1: they are stable, but intel graphics are low-to midrange at best [21:20] nvidia > intel > ati/amd [21:20] mouth1 i have intel video, works smoothly, but then, i don't use 3d or eye candy [21:21] minimec, no. i have a i3 550 cpu which should have an intel hd graphics on it. i expereience random system freezes and maybe its because of the x server with open source ati drivers for my hd6850? [21:21] I just muted my sound, when I tried to unmute nothing comes out of the speakers. how do I fix this? [21:21] mouth1, quite likely, ATI sucks [21:21] what do i do now eph3meral :( [21:21] it didn't happen with 11.10 [21:21] So.. I managed to get a root terminal up from recovery mode, and then had to get a legacy keyboard, because the USB sub-system is not woking.. from here I want to resume the upgrade problem.. but guess what? no networking! no eth0.. sould I have started recovery mode with a switch to enable networking (sigh) ? [21:21] and happens mostly when i'm webbrowsing eph3meral [21:21] bbbbbbbb: have you tried to up the sound? sometimes unmute won't work for me, but if I just up the sound, it still works [21:22] I'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 OS [21:22] jwrigley: yeah, does nothing. [21:22] ah, gamers... [21:22] I'm on 10.04, and my desktop theme keeps resetting to some really old looking one, and this is in dmesg - [16808.730780] gnome-settings-[2547]: segfault at 13d3540 ip 00007f4eb9d53f70 sp 00007fff0ea187c0 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[7f4eb9d23000+17a000] [21:22] mouth1: yeah that sounds about right [21:22] Bsims, how do you mean? [21:22] bbbbbbbb: try "sudo service pulseaudio restart" [21:23] ATI for the past 15 odd years I've been building computers, make great hardware but can't write a working driver to save their souls [21:23] jwrigley: I removed pulseaudio, because it made something crash. [21:23] every time I run "hostname -f" I get the following error: hostname: Name or service not known [21:23] I looked it up and google and tried to follow suggestions, but am still getting the error [21:23] bbbbbbbb: when did you do this, before or after the silence? [21:23] mouth1: go with intel or if you game on windows Nvidia... though intel will work for most steam games [21:23] Bsims, you mean my freezes are x server freezes because of the ati drivers? [21:23] mouth1: Oh it's one og that Intel/ati combo. I disabled the ATI/AMD GPU on the laptop of my mother. It was heating the laptop and not even running... [21:23] mouth1: I'd bet on it [21:24] jwrigley: before. it worked just fine afterwards, then once i muted it and no sound since [21:24] can i disable the ati gpu and use the i3 550 gpu? [21:24] mouth1: The internal intel gpu runs fair enough for daily use. [21:24] mouth1: yup do it in bios [21:24] finish06: Can you mount the drive Media Two normally? [21:25] as in just click on the icon and it mounts? Yep :) [21:25] minimec: hell had no problems with left for dead 2 or TF2 with intel [21:25] Bsims, can you tell me what i have to do please? [21:25] is there a setting for it? [21:25] but I have to click :( that is the crappy part minimec [21:25] i have a gigabyte mainboard [21:25] whats the best way to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04? [21:25] !upgrade | johnzorn by reading this. [21:25] johnzorn by reading this.: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:25] mouth1: enable the built in graphics card in BIOS and plug in your monitor to the motherboard graphics port vs the one for the video card [21:26] johnzorn:update manager is the best [21:26] bbbbbbbb: probably you should install it again then... [21:26] mouth1, what do you do now? I would suggest going back to 11.10 [21:26] mouth1, I would also suggest selling your computer and getting nvidia :P [21:26] How can I configure a keyboard shortcut to switch the video output to HDMI from VGA? [21:27] but I know that's not a particularly helpful suggestion for most people [21:27] eph3meral, yeah [21:27] Bsims, eph3meral: will ubuntu load the right drivers right away and disable the ati gpu? [21:27] or do i have to unplug the gpu? [21:28] jwrigley: okay, i'll try [21:28] mouth1: should do it on its own [21:28] if not you can switch back [21:28] finish06: well that is acceptable, isn't it. there is certainly an option to mount it on boot in fstab. I don't it, but I am sure that that should exist... ;) [21:28] ok i try [21:28] thanks [21:28] can someone help me with "Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules" when i try to upgrade to 12 [21:28] in 12.04 im having an issue with dual monitors where i have a launcher come up on both monitors. how do i make the launcher only come up on the primary monitor? [21:29] minimec, Yeah, fstab does mount it, however I was just curious as to why it should the second icon... that was the "hmm" moment... [21:29] Bsims: Well it's a intel GMA HD (westmere bridge). They run fair, but not as good as the sandy bridge ones... [21:29] does someone know if the bugs from beta2 with nvidia are fixed for the release?

[21:34] the nvida drivers work... as well as the windows drivers. I'd recommend them to everyone who isn't a hardliner on the GPL [21:34] no i just do not like systemfreeze after 30 mins working i like the nvidia blop but i think they used the not workung 295.40 at beta and that is not good anyway [21:34] yeah its a closed source blob [21:35] vexus: you can downgrade ya know [21:35] djp up the network yourself if there is no switch?

[21:39] Is there an eth0 in there djp? [21:39] (Especially for ping or ssh) [21:39] Bsims: dpkg is only the packet manager but where you mean are the packages from canonical,nvidia or any other ppa or so [21:39] delete the .file for gnome it will make you redo any customastions you did [21:39] oh... brontosaurusrex... just a file list?

[21:43] L3top: including file-comments of some sort [21:43] route -n is prett bleak; lebels but no values [21:43] djp since ip link gave nothing you have to add it. Try ip link add link eth0 [21:43] any tweaks that i should do when running ubuntu 10.04 on esxi 5 (besides the vm tools) [21:44] will ubuntu still work if i change motherboards? [21:44] trek201: yeah it should autodetect everything on its own [21:44] trek201: Yes, it will. That's one of the great things of Ubuntu in comparison with Windows [21:44] So 12.04 (thats installed to my HD). Has broken and I can't boot into it. I'm wanting to browse the it's partition so I can access my files so I can back them up elsewhere.

[21:45] thinking of changing over from a sempron to an i3...hopefully will go smooth [21:45] trek201: went from amd very old to brand new intel MB/cpu booted off the new hd and it all worked [21:46] trek201: amd to intel [21:46] @usr13 Not sure where I installed Grub to, primary drive is tripe partitioned, secondary is triple partitioned, both are SATA, the secondary drive is going back into its own pc. [21:46] djp add the following lines to your /etc/network/interfaces file: auto eth0 and: iface eth0 inet dhcp then /etc/init.d/networking restart [21:46] from a dedicated nvida video card to built in intel and it Just Worked [21:47] I don't know about that brontosaurusrex, but it is an interesting idea. I will have to think about it. [21:47] @user13 Would it be better to just copy important files and then wipe the primary drive and start over?

[22:01] well... 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. [22:02] hey 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?

Should I upgrade to ocelit? If so, what is the safest way to do it from up-to-date lucid to ocelit [22:04] adek05: 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] daniel: could be kernel issue: make sure you have rfkill installed (soft) and rfkill kernel module loaded [22:05] hello, does any know how to delete and add songs to iphone 4 with ubuntu 12.04?

However, I cannot find that command. [22:11] I have verified that I installed the package "insserv", I even reinstalled it [22:11] djp: use sudo su [22:11] thnks [22:12] too easy.. [22:12] djp: use sudo -s [22:12] exit and sudo -s [22:12] or i [22:12] k [22:12] what's the difference between -s and -i anyway [22:12] !sudo-s [22:13] * L3top bets there is a factoid [22:13] if you 'sudo --help' it'll probably tell you :) [22:13] or man sudo [22:13] What do you have to do to get an invite to #ubuntu+1 [22:13] I get "Unknown typename: GtkSocket and GtkSocketClass" when I try to compile cairodock. But there's no hint whatsoever about what to install to make that message disappear. Could anyone here hint me on what to do to solve things like this? [22:14] is it possible to change the default opening window position? my default window for all programs opens in the top left have way hidden under the menu bar @ the top of the screen -- waht can i do? [22:14] Slartibart: ummm why compile? Isn;t it in the repos? [22:14] I'm trying to do a dual boot on my Mac Book Pro using Ubuntu 12.04 … has Intel Cor 2 Duo 2.66. Is ubuntu-12.04-dvd-i386.iso download the best option ? [22:14] I am fairly sure that the rfkill is installed b/c I am able to see what is soft blocked and hard blocked when I ask for an rfkill list -- but I am clueless as to what the information means -- brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes [22:15] at the end of the day the differences boil down to access restrictions and env variables [22:15] Can someone help me find insserv? [22:15] yep.. when she gets to a terminal.. sudo -i [22:15] i don't suppose there's any way to stop video tearing in ubuntu on an nvidia card, is there? [22:15] Would anyone here be willing to help me test my 2d multiplayer game? I just got it up on the package manager [22:15] mattwallace: no need for dvd, everything is in the cd iso [22:15] wylde: It comes from my insatiable desire to make things harder.. And hope that one day I'll actually learn something ;-j [22:16] any news on how to disable the launcher chameleon effect? it seems 12.04 has done nothing but add problems [22:16] Slartibart: but if you're set on compiling doing 'sudo apt-get build-dep ' will probably help. Be sure you have build-essential installed too. [22:16] xangua: should I go with 64bit? [22:16] Slartibart: I do that too at times :) [22:16] trek201, what are your desktop effects setting? [22:16] oh for cryin out loud, is there no direct way to mount local disks from a live CD? [22:16] woo: Normal [22:16] Slartibart: Are you sure you have all the dependencies installed? sudo apt-get build-dep would give you the dependencies of the source file in the repo. Normally that's all you need. [22:17] or CLI only.. [22:17] djp: mount doesn't work? :P [22:17] oh.. nevermind.. [22:17] djp you should be able to just click on it in nautilis and it will exist in /media/ === ulkesh is now known as ulkesh|away [22:17] you tried it at none? [22:17] yeah.. me stoopid [22:18] yeah, the effects settings don't seem to have any influence [22:18] djp: you can also chroot into the drive and do stuff... if you want to test, and have a desktop avail at the same time === hallofick is now known as N3m3sis [22:18] Does 'insserv' even exist? [22:18] searck bug forms [22:18] L3top: that sound like an advanced but attractive option.. [22:18] minimec, wylde: I'll try build-dep. Thanks :). [22:18] super simple. === N3m3sis is now known as Guest61474 [22:19] ls /media then chroot /media/whateveritisinthere and bam you are operating from that drive in terminal djp [22:20] Anyone had success dual booting on MacBook Pro 12.04 seems to install just fine but once it's up and logged in my screen is jacked up and doesn't seem to be using the graphics card correctly. I'm wondering if 64bit version is the way to go as well. [22:20] I tried following these instructions http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/dual-boot-os-ubuntu/ [22:20] I just wanted to say that my upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 went effortlessly and without incident.

[22:21] L3top: i may be losing my mind.. but I can't find the (changed) file.. [22:21] djp make sure you're looking on the mount disk and not the "disk" the the live session is running on :) [22:22] mounted* [22:22] is TRIM activated out of the box in 12.04? [22:22] /etc/init.d/rules ? (I think I'm looking at the right disk.. [22:22] djp as I didn't tell you what to do, I can't really help there... do you remember what you renamed it? [22:22] :-) [22:22] djp it would only be /etc/* if you were chrooted [22:22] and it would be /etc/udev/rules.d [22:22] Who here actually likes the new gnome/ [22:23] djp: going straight to /etc/init.d/whatever means you're probably in the live sessions ram disk :) [22:23] oh.. that makes sense.. [22:23] hypcrum: it isn't gnome, it is unity... and I am not offended by it. [22:23] L3top: did they change it for 12.04? [22:23] hypcrum✌ I like Unity much better than gnome [22:24] yes hypcrum [22:24] hypcrum: I've actually managed to get it setup as to be usable for me. <-- Unity that is. [22:24] Ohhh. Maybe i should check it out [22:24] hypcrum✌ hit the Alt key. It's awesome [22:24] hypcrum: works well for me [22:24] I've switched to KDE because knome3 was bothering me. [22:24] gnome* [22:25] No more menu mazes for me [22:25] hypcrum: imo they need to notify you if it can't leverage DRI.. because the user experience is completely different in the fallback [22:25] Yea.. [22:25] krababbel: what did you tell me to echo > ? [22:25] does ubuntu like ati more than nvidia? [22:25] flippo: I dont have vanilla 12.04 installed [22:26] hi all, i am stress with my vga intel gma 4500mhd [22:26] flippo: on kubuntu atm [22:26] Hello [22:26] anyone can help me, it seem ubuntu doesnt support for my vga [22:26] hypcrum✌ well, that's going to be different then [22:27] flippo: Yea.. i swapped to it because I disliked gnome3 [22:27] newbie_ubuntu: lspci -nn | grep VGA in a terminal [22:27] my vga is intel gma 4500mhd [22:27] newbie_ubuntu: Does it show up in the restricted drivers? [22:27] hypcrum✌ Unity doesn't look much like gnome, though I understand there is some gnome in it somewhere [22:27] i dont know [22:28] my screen always blank after installing ubuntu [22:28] check there.

[22:28] !nomodeset | newbie_ubuntu [22:28] newbie_ubuntu: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:28] i have tried to enter nomodeset [22:28] koala: hEY [22:29] Can someone help me get a script to send email notifications? [22:29] but after installing ubuntu in nomodeset, i became blank screen again [22:29] actually, i think the "none" setting on effects may have helped the video tearing problem [22:29] but after installing ubuntu in nomodeset, it became blank screen again [22:29] djp: nothing, just repeated [22:29] helo1: What's up? [22:30] how do i execute a dmg https://support.apple.com/kb/DL997 [22:30] hypcrum: can u help me? [22:30] helo1: Just pipe it to mail program [22:30] could i install that with GNUstep? [22:30] Anyone seen else sshd start segfaulting going from 11.10 to 12.04? [22:30] newbie_ubuntu: Sorry not sure what to do if it doesnt show up at all.. besides the boot option [22:30] krababbel: I seem to have misplace a crucual file i wrongly renamed.. [22:30] jfreak53: could you explain how? [22:31] helo1: what's the command inside the script? [22:31] helo1: or better said, is this script running through cron?? [22:31] helo1: if so it's easier :) [22:31] newbie_ubuntu: ctrl + alt + f2, login and I can help you. It would be nice if you could install pastebinit so I can see stuff. [22:31] djp: that file is automatically created by udev i believe [22:32] djp: why are you in rescue mode again? [22:32] no, I'm at it from a live CD [22:32] jfreak53: I wrote a script that does ping tests and outputs if they are up or down. I would like it to be a cron job but I can't get that working either. [22:32] djp: can't you chroot into your system from the livecd and do what you want from there? [22:32] helo1: well once you get cron running just send output to mail, like so [22:33] if I knew chroot from a stick of celery.. then yes :) [22:33] djp in general, I will not suggest you use the output of ls in a variable, but for just now... do the following as root in terminal: mydir=$(ls /media); chroot $mydir [22:33] helo1: command.sh > mail -s 'My Subject' me@email.com [22:33] djp: lol [22:33] helo1: that send's output to the mail program [22:33] wait on that djp [22:33] ooooo dirty hack! >.> [22:33] let me actually test things before I give them to you [22:33] :P [22:34] kr is that literal, or do i substitute mydir [22:34] jfreak53: Is there any other configuration that needs to be done for that mail command to work? [22:34] helo1: Sorry did it wrong, it's: [22:34] L3top: ok [22:34] helo1: command.sh | mail -s 'subject' email [22:34] unity sucks [22:35] first djp does ls /media have only one directory in it? [22:35] helo1: you need to make sure sendmail is installed and setup with MTC or you will get a bunch of error's. Just apt-get install sendmail and it should work [22:35] helo1: MTC ha ha MTA I ment [22:35] jfreak53: What is MTC [22:35] helo1: sorry MTA ha ha hands dont work [22:35] ROdodrigo: yep [22:36] djp: I believe chroot from here should work, but I don't know what you actually want to do. Video driver broken?http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ [22:36] ROdodrigo: unity does suck [22:36] ROdodrigo: trek201: it does :( [22:36] krababbel: what I really want to do is get networking up on the box to hopefully contunue and complete the 12.04 upgrade [22:37] ROdodrigo trek201 jfreak53 you can use any number of desktops out there. [22:37] djp does ls /media display only ONE directory? [22:37] L3top: of course, but not gnome 2 in Ubu 12 :), at least I don't think, I haven't upgraded yet, stuck on 11.04 until they allow gnome2 :) [22:37] * trek201 has no problem with unity since he's still using ubuntu 10.04 [22:38] Gonna have to come to terms with the passing of gnome. [22:38] trek201: ha ha ha [22:38] It isn't coming back. [22:38] jfreak53: gnome 2 is abandonded. It's no longer being maintained. [22:38] L3top: No I don't, I can go to Debian :) [22:38] hmm [22:38] ha ha though I wouldn't ha ha [22:38] She's dead Jim [22:38] gnome shell is great [22:38] wylde: yes and gnome 3 is bloated just like window's, so is KDE. To each his own yes :) [22:38] L3top: ha ha [22:39] djp... [22:39] helo1: did you figure it out? [22:39] L3top: local drive and cdrom [22:39] jfreak53: After installing sendmail, I still get a message that "mail" is not installed [22:39] jfreak53: absolutely. Until Unity got to the point it is now(and I still removed the global menu) I was using XFCE4 [22:39] I am having some freakishly stupid problems installing 12.04 with wubi. [22:39] I'm trying to verify a download with a .asc signature but when I try to open it it wants to decrypt the file. How do I make it verify the other file instead? [22:39] ok djp... lets do this. [22:40] wylde: I've tried other's, I just really like Gnome :(, it's sad they can't just let an old interface exist :( [22:40] qwd: how are you trying to verify? [22:40] * djp sits at the edge of his chair.. [22:40] I assume your hd is on /dev/sda1 correct djp? [22:40] helo1: Hmm, try just sendmail command instead of mail [22:40] hello [22:40] milamber: just opening the .asc [22:40] yeah.. i think so [22:40] please, can i somehow return back to gnome2? [22:41] jfreak53: true enough, I honestly would have liked to carry on with gnome2 myself. There is a fork started called ummm... MATE? I think. [22:41] qwd: an ascii file? [22:41] tomatto_: Yes, UBU 11 ha ha there are a couple instruction's out there I've found that tell how, I just cant remember where, do a google search [22:41] djp: umount /dev/sda1; mkdir /mnt/fix; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/fix; chroot /mnt/fix [22:41] !nounity | tomatto_ [22:41] tomatto_: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [22:41] wylde: MATE? hmm, I'm gonna have to look. That's the only thing keeping me from upgrading truly. [22:41] ok.. I'll try [22:41] milamber: .asc, a GPG signature [22:42] hey guys [22:42] ubottu: yeah but shell and fallback are NOTHING at all like gnome 2 :), even indicators don't work right on it [22:42] jfreak53: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:42] Can someone tell me exactly how to add a git repo? [22:42] First... 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] jfreak53: there's also ummm cinnamon? Some mint thing I think is where that comes from. I read it's also similar. [22:43] qwd: have you done: gpg --verify .asc [22:43] wylde: Hmm, I'm gonna have to Vbox test this with 12, if I can get something liek gnome 2 I would upgrade :) [22:43] pers0n: you need to add your user to the admin group, I am not sure why your user is not already... [22:43] Is there a problem with the ubuntu website?? :( [22:43] jfreak53: in what way do the indicators not work right? [22:43] I want to d/load the latest vers.... [22:43] brb baby crying [22:43] It was said there is no admin group. [22:43] Also, btw, APTonCD sucks. doesn't help at all. I tried reinstalling and the bloody thing didnt copy any of my libs [22:43] jfreak53: best way to try things out :) [22:43] pers0n: Are you logging into the original user, (the one that was created when the OS was initially installed)? [22:43] Since 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] when I tried to add my self. [22:43] user13 yes. [22:43] trism: 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 exactly [22:43] MTughan: iotop [22:43] APoulos, do you mean creating a new git repository? [22:44] wylde: Yeah but until 12.04 came out I didnt have a desire ha ha, nor time right now to try :( [22:44] pers0n: That's a bit strange. Have you tried failsafe mode? [22:44] MTughan, top [22:44] MTughan: are you looking for the command: top [22:44] masterofpc, no I mean connecting to a Git repo because im trying to get the latest version of ffmpeg [22:44] irvken: top just shows CPU and memory usage, IIRC. [22:44] milamber: 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] iceroot: Thanks, installing now. [22:44] masterofpc, maybe I don't fully understand the way the git process fully works [22:44] jfreak53: okay so this worked: "./checkservers.sh | sudo sendmail -s 'Net Status' adayforgotten@yahoo.com" Without the 'sudo', I got a permission denied message. [22:45] usr13: pers0n this is the second case of this reported today. [22:45] helo1: hmm, one sec brb [22:45] jfreak53: It also did not send with the subject I used. It just had no subject at all. [22:45] pers0n: 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] usr13 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] qwd: not sure about the gui, but a quick google came up with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1909950.html [22:45] APoulos, okay so you probably want to checkout/clone, try writing this in a terminal: git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg [22:45] ubottu: i am using 12.04 version now [22:45] Yes... [22:45] tomatto_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:45] pers0n: 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 t [22:46] there* [22:46] wylde: i am using 12.04 version now [22:46] masterofpc, what exactly does that command do? [22:46] L3top: chroot failed to run command "/bin/bash": Exec formant error [22:46] jfreak53: i am using 12.04 version now [22:46] pers0n: just catching up [22:46] (yes, as root) [22:46] tomatto_: yeah is g2 there :) ha ha [22:46] tomatto_: yeah that factoid needs to be update but it's the same for precise. You can use gnome-panel and gnaom-fallback. [22:47] djp: thats the second time I have run into that as well... [22:47] bah, pardon the typos === warfaren_ is now known as warfaren [22:47] APoulos, it 'clones' the git repository, i.e. it downloads all files from the git server to ffmpeg/... [22:47] but I'm in "bash".. [22:47] L3top- i used Wubi to install... will that cause troubles trying to edit it with a live cd? [22:47] xterm anyways.. [22:47] hello 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] i am doing: [22:47] zip -e foo * [22:48] pers0n: I don't have an admin group either, it's 'adm' on this box. [22:48] !info seahorse-nautilus | qwd [22:48] wylde I will try that. [22:48] qwd: 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 kB [22:48] milamber: 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 it [22:48] L3top: next clue? [22:48] djp: 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 environment [22:48] wylde: Is this a fresh install of 12.04? Do you have a 'sudo' group? [22:49] anybody knows where to find driver for my vga, intel gma 4500mhd? [22:49] well that was weird.. lost connection [22:49] if you add 127.0.0.1 to proxychains it will run thru tor and proxies! [22:49] Flannel: it was installed back in alpha but I've not had an admin group at any point. [22:49] Well... I take that as a bad sign djp. pers0n if you were able to chroot in, then it shouldnt make any difference. [22:49] anyways - masterofpc what exactly is a git repo? [22:49] L3top: I'm a bit confused by the question.. [22:49] wylde: right, do you have a 'sudo' group, not an 'admin' group? [22:49] hello 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] newbie_ubuntu: I have told you 3 times what you need to do in order for me to help you. [22:49] Flannel: moment, I'll ssh into my server and see if it has one. I just updated it yesterday. [22:49] so, APoulos, git is a kind of version control system [22:50] masterofpc, similar to synaptic? [22:50] Flannel: I have sudo and adm [22:50] i have a lot of experience in git, can i help? [22:50] gnome-shell? [22:50] k014, sure hop on in [22:50] L3top: i appreciate the help amigo, btw [22:50] Guess I didn't want Grub anymore... booting straight into windows... yay. Might have to give up for the day. [22:50] L3top: my screen blank, and i need driver for my vga [22:50] whazzup [22:50] APoulos, not exactly, it just keeps track of files and their changes [22:50] go to additional drivers [22:50] newbie ubuntu [22:51] I want to try an experiment djp. Is this a desktop machine? [22:51] yep [22:51] wylde: '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] newbie_ubuntu: ctrl alt f2 on the machine with the blank screen. login. sudo apt-get install pastebinit [22:51] Flannel: ahh alrighty. [22:51] Hey 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 thing [22:51] up? [22:52] masterofpc, ill be back, xchat for gnome sucks. switching to regular xchat [22:52] k [22:52] helo1: Hmm, with sendmail installed mail isn't giving me any trouble [22:52] djp, shut the machine down and plug the HD into the next avail port. [22:52] helo1: what version of Ubu are you on? [22:52] hmm weird it seems to be related to a liblsp.so.1 which isn't owned by any package... [22:52] jfreak53: 10.04 [22:52] L3top: yikes! [22:52] djp: boot to live disk, and we will mount it and diddle with it [22:53] k014, I think you cant encrypt the file names in a zip directly, you'd need to double zip them [22:53] anyone know what ubuntu+1 has become invite only? [22:53] err why. [22:53] I'm seeing the drive now, you think moving it might help? [22:53] Flannel: ahh I see now, I upgraded my 10.04 box to 12.04 yesterday and it has the admin group. [22:53] Has anyone else had success with enabling the 'unredirect fullscreen windows' in 12.04 on nvidia? [22:53] Ba [22:53] alright [22:53] TheSimkin: there is no +1 version currently (12.04 was released) [22:53] it's SATA [22:53] masterofpc, im back in [22:53] APoulos, wb [22:53] Flannel: isn't there always a new +1 ? [22:53] apavlov: 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] Flannel: is there a way to tell ubuntu to download the latest updates.. just not instlal them til i say so? [22:54] helo1: try installing mailutils package and try 'mail' command again [22:54] it'd be nice if 12.04 was all ready to install :) [22:54] masterofpc thx you [22:54] I 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] how can i find out the IP of my router at home ? [22:54] minimec: hmm, weird, but worth giving a try... [22:54] masterofpc, thank you good sir [22:54] i played with DHCP now i dont know my ip [22:54] so im locked out [22:54] TheSimkin: No, Q hasn't been opened yet. Toolchain will be uploaded on the 3rd. [22:55] TheSimkin: -d (or --download-only) will do that. === vato_ is now known as duvel [22:55] hi [22:55] Ok, 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? === duvel is now known as duv3l [22:55] TheSimkin: That's with apt-get, of course. [22:56] APoulos, so git basically just gives you the ability to track changes in files, and then also to fork (split) repositories, and merge them back again [22:57] So... 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] hello all [22:57] how do I give user walter permissions to start wicd? [22:57] duv3l: I've had it show the same for me on my nvidia card [22:57] L3top: I get that, and thanks.. but this is an obcenely ontuse way to get networking up from recovery mode.. not your fault of course [22:57] hello [22:57] hi i have question about cairo dock anybode can help? [22:57] obtuse, of course [22:57] djp I am quite sure we can just resolve your issue first if you like [22:57] join #anonymous [22:58] I 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] well let me see if I can get back into recovery mode for real [22:58] robgraves: 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] vadi2, i tried reinstalling drivers etc -- still broken. I can only get 1 of my monitors to work. How sad :\ [22:58] I believe they are related djp [22:58] ratcheer: ok, i'll try it [22:58] i was wondering if anyone has ever changed the single-user passwd when GRUB was not installed [22:58] duv3l: have you tried using the nvidia settings utility? however that only easily goes up to 2 only, using twinview [22:58] duv3l: I'm assuming you're on nvidia that is [22:59] what happends with minimalized aplications with cairo dock?? [22:59] i am, correct, i have 2 evga gtx 560 graphics cards [22:59] ahh. one gtx 560 here. on one giant display. [22:59] so, tried the nvidia settings tool? [22:59] yeah [22:59] i just got 2nd monitor working [22:59] right [22:59] I assume they still dont have 3 monitor support? [22:59] if not thats a deal breaker and im uninstalling. [23:00] well, not as smooth as 2 monitors. poke around on nvidia forums / email customer support, I think people do have 3 monitors working [23:00] where can I see all the kernel settings in Ubuntu ? [23:00] duv3l you can have up to 4 monitors if u r running a dual video card system [23:00] rfictus: /boot/config-$(uname -r) [23:00] or yeah configure the 3rd to work on the other gfx card [23:01] okay [23:01] i have 3 monitors [23:01] trism: do i terminla that ?? [23:01] 2 hooked up to one graphics card, 1 hooked up to the second. [23:01] rfictus: You have the config file of all the kernels in the /boot directory. [23:01] thank you minimec [23:01] ratcheer: that worked, thanks! [23:01] jfreak53: that worked. Thanks [23:02] unity sucks, canonical should work WITH Gnome team to make gnome shell better instead of create something that bad, slow, and overload [23:02] robgraves: Great. Glad I could help. [23:02] i was wondering if anyone has ever changed the single-user passwd when GRUB was not installed [23:02] ROdodrigo: do you have an actual supporot question or are you just here to troll? [23:02] duv3l: oh so is the 2nd card working? [23:03] i was wondering if anyone has ever changed the single-user passwd when GRUB was not installed [23:03] helo1: Awesome!! Glad it worked [23:03] duv3l: either way: this is a bit outside of the ubuntu ecosystem, you're in nvidia's land at this point [23:03] shows that the 2nd card is working [23:03] helo1: seems you needed an MTA and that wasn't installed ha ha dumb me at times ha ha [23:03] ratcheer: I've been googling that now for a day or so now, with no clear answer...excellent [23:03] it's not trolling, I need to say this [23:03] i was wondering if anyone has ever changed the single-user passwd when GRUB was not installed [23:03] !ot | ROdodrigo [23:03] ROdodrigo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:04] brb [23:04] I'm sorry if I make you feel uncomfortable [23:04] my question is a support question [23:04] Thunderhawk: repeating the same question over and over again within minutes isn't going to make people answer any better [23:06] the thing that makes me angry is to have a 2 gb ram with a x2 64 2.7ghz procesor, 512 mb of video, and wait 2 minutes to change between chromiunm and nautilus [23:06] anyway [23:06] have a nice day [23:06] bye bye [23:07] ROdodrigo: sounds like your setup is wrong. I am wicked fast on less. [23:08] weird, because i change to xubuntu and it flies [23:08] gnome shell flies [23:08] lxde well [23:08] Myrtti: i was just repeating because it is truely important and i need an answer so i can fix my works servers [23:09] That's what I am saying... something is configured wrong... because I have very similar hw, with a bit lower performance, and it flies. [23:09] Just want to let you know, after reboot my 3 monitors are working flawlessly with my 2 graphics cards. THANK YOU UBUNTU TEAM AND CANONICAL, FANTASTIC JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [23:09] ROdodrigo: what is the gpu? [23:09] nvidia [23:09] ROdodrigo: GPU problem with compiz I guess. [23:09] lspci -nn | grep VGA [23:09] ROdodrigo: ^ [23:10] I find unity nice. Although there were some major issues on my laptop with the last release but now I like it. I see a lot of promise. If your systems are having issues then use kubuntu / legacy gnome mode / install your own wm\ [23:10] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] [10de:0849] (rev a2) [23:10] guys i'm having serious issues to install ubuntu 12.04 [23:10] I just got done doing a review on ubuntu I kind of dont like the layout how appears. I kind of like a clean desktop envirement dont get me wrong it looks good to work on but it just look more like a tablet pc:) [23:10] you and a lot of others [23:10] bcuraboy: whats the matter man? [23:11] bcuraboy: more info needed ha ha:) [23:11] bcuraboy: deets [23:11] i'm trying to install it on a intel pc with 1gb ram and 1.66ghz processor [23:11] and? [23:11] bcuraboy: you're better off using 11.10 [23:11] and then? [23:11] agreed [23:11] i've tried 3 ways to install it and it stucks on some point of the installation [23:11] i still use it [23:11] bcuraboy how about xubuntu? [23:11] bcuraboy APoulos: more like 11.04 ;) ha ha [23:11] bcuraboy: noooo.. use lubuntu ... you have no love to spare there dude [23:12] bcuraboy: what does stucks mean? ha ha [23:12] wasap guys!! [23:12] bcuraboy: and lubuntu? [23:12] you sure your not using 64bit install? [23:12] I like the technical words stucks on [23:12] ha ha [23:12] im having problems with precise [23:12] yeah i'm sure [23:12] That should definitely be going well on nvidia-current ROdodrigo, but a lot of folks do seem to be having trouble on the supplied version. I would recommend adding the xswat ppas and using their driver [23:12] i've downloaded 2 times [23:12] id step back man [23:12] Man ubuntu is really slow on my VM am trying to load it on to it or something. And it just keeps lagging I have 1.65 GZ amd Processor [23:12] nothing wrong with it [23:12] bcuraboy - listen to me man [23:12] talk [23:12] bcuraboy: Alt install or GUI install? [23:12] ROdodrigo: Give me one second, and I will find a link with what to try. [23:12] cd install,usb [23:12] despite 12.04 being a bit buggy -- its the best damn release yet. I can't believe this [23:13] bcuraboy: yeah but Alternate installer or GUI installer? [23:13] bcuraboy: when you're running on only 2GB of ram and 1GHz processor, you're best bet is to get 11.04 on it [23:13] bcuraboy: because I highly doubt the GUI installer will work on that system :)( [23:13] later guys! [23:13] hmmm i see [23:13] bcuraboy: no no no.. aside from the media are you just trying the pretty install or are you using the alternate text install [23:13] bcuraboy: 11.04 and Alternate installer! :) [23:13] bcuraboy: also, if you want to install it from usb - use Unetbootin [23:13] i was wondering if anyone has ever changed the single-user passwd when GRUB was not installed [23:13] because i've tried to run the live cd on my own personal pc and it just run smoothly [23:13] ok L3top I gong to try again, I wait [23:14] :facesmack: ha ha [23:14] where can i get 11.10? [23:14] website [23:14] bcuraboy: not 11.10 - use 11.04 [23:14] ROdodrigo: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [23:14] release.ubuntu.com [23:14] Thunderhawk: do you mean from the live cd? [23:14] 11.10 or 12.04 for a AMD Processor with 1.65GHz [23:14] bcuraboy: likely not going to be ble to run Unity [23:14] bcuraboy: Go to ubuntu download site, go to other downloads link and find it, it's there :) use 11.04 and Alternate installer. [23:14] or releases.ubuntu.com [23:14] bcuraboy: if you use GUI installer it will fail :) [23:14] ROdodrigo: a reboot will be required. [23:14] !torrents [23:14] Precise can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/desktop/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/server/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 [23:14] bcuraboy: yeah that link that Tinti did :) ha ha [23:14] minimec: was it you who suggested resetting the BIOS to defaults? I've got bad memory for nicks :) Can't say for sure if it was it or a manually built wl driver really took effect after a reboot (rather than modprobe) but WiFi now works. Thanks a lot. [23:15] APoulos, why you suggest 11.04? [23:15] Man people are so gay on this chat room they dont even answer you... [23:15] ok [23:16] bcuraboy: probably because it still uses gnome 2 :) [23:16] I'm on it [23:16] apavlov: It was me and I was surprised as you when it worked for my bluetooth device. Seems to be related with the lenovo thikpad tpacpi stuff. ;) Happy it works ... [23:16] wylde: i looked around on the servers and there is nothing related to a grub file on the system [23:16] wylde: no because of his specs [23:16] tbrown: may i recommend gentoo? [23:16] unity or gnome it's not that important [23:16] bcuraboy: because 11.10 uses Unity which is a resource hog, 11.04 is easier and uses classic gnome [23:16] wylde: he can't do much more ha ha [23:16] im on 11.04 [23:16] works great [23:16] i decided that the lack of a system tray is a big enough problem to NOT use unity, so i'm glad i still have the option to select ubuntu classic environment on login ... i had no idea where unity was sending any minimized window at all [23:16] jfreak53: lol, lubuntu then! :P [23:16] wylde: haha well maybe [23:16] RevHelix: Everyone is saying that I have not use Gentoo is that a good Operating system of linux distro [23:17] wylde: the password encryption is using blowfish [23:17] it just came out last year bcuraboy [23:17] minimec: yeah, really weird. Time to go to sleep for me, though. Bye, keep up giving the good advice! :-) [23:17] tbrown: you will come out a man... [23:17] tbrown: gentoo is for the more advanced [23:17] but from 11.04 i can upgrade to other versions,right? [23:17] tbrown: if you are just starting id use ubuntu [23:18] tbrown: gentoo is okay. it's just more work initally. [23:18] bcuraboy: it's not suggested, you just cant run unit on that system [23:18] bcuraboy: yes, but why would you want to [23:18] bcuraboy: sorry unity not unit ha ha [23:18] apavlov: 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] tbrown: I'd also not call everyone gay, you will get helped in another manner.. [23:18] Thunderhawk: ahh no idea then sorry. I don't do encryption. I'm just a lowly home user ;) [23:18] man my hands dont work today [23:18] bcuraboy: in fact, 11.04 is still widely supported [23:18] because that pc is not mine,and the unity interface is very simple to these kind of people [23:18] Yes 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] APoulos: I still use it on all my systems :) ha ha [23:18] wylde: any idea about the grub problem [23:19] !danger [23:19] bcuraboy: it's gonna be slow but it will work if you turn off effects entirely [23:19] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [23:19] and wrong without the *... [23:19] bcuraboy: very very slow ha ha [23:19] AWWWWW 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] bcuraboy: 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 supported [23:19] so you strongly suggest 11.04?? [23:19] dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda [23:19] Thunderhawk: how are the machines booting? You have to have some sort of bootloader. [23:19] tbrown: then use 10.04? [23:19] bcuraboy: strongly ha ha [23:19] tbrown: did you have a Ubuntu support question or problem? [23:20] I still use 8 on 3 school system's were running ha ha, it's nice with LXDE :) ha ha [23:20] RevHelix, lol [23:20] tbrown: btw, you can change both of those to look like 10.04 [23:20] L3top: I believe that recent versions of rm catch trying to do rm -r /rootdirectory and won't allow it [23:20] !flavors | tbrown [23:20] tbrown: !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 !Lubuntu [23:20] tbrown: this is a support channel, not a general chatter channel for you to bounce opinions from [23:20] wylde: the server just boots up to a gui login [23:21] Thunderhawk: ok then you'll have to reboot, and hold the shift key after the bios to get the grub prompt. [23:21] Myrtti: Man calm down if you were smart enough I ask a qestion the first time no one said anything [23:21] Interesting countfuzzball... I would hope that it just gave a super warning requiring exact read input. [23:21] btw 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 better [23:21] wylde: it does not ask me to choose a kernel to boot [23:21] wonder why everyone feels they need to have the newest release, same old thing just in a fresh package. [23:21] bcuraboy: 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] here's an example - hi bcuraboy [23:21] Am going to download Gentoo [23:21] And try it [23:21] wylde: i tried that and it did not work [23:21] Thunderhawk: probably because there is only one OS on the machine. If you hold the shift key after the bios it will load the menu. [23:22] tbrown: have a fun time taking on pandoras box [23:22] APoulos, yeah i can see you [23:22] hi guys !! [23:22] bcuraboy: see, thats better, because now you highlight my name and I can see it easier [23:23] Thunderhawk: can you access /etc/default/grub ? [23:23] Thunderhawk: wylde what are you guys trying to repair? [23:23] Oh my gosh Gentoo is about 135 MB that is a small ISO [23:23] Thunderhawk: before we get into anything. What exactly is your end goal? [23:23] kel_: 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] wylde: the keyboard is an old ps/2 keyboard and it is not picking up the shift key signal until it is time to login [23:23] Oh my gosh Gentoo is about 135 MB that is a small ISO [23:23] this works pretty well sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback [23:24] what's the diference between the nvidia driver on the ubuntu repo, and the one you are giving me? [23:24] tbrown: and what does this have to do with Ubuntu? Ubuntu has a netinst disk too. [23:24] tbrown: that's about the size of DSL linux ha ha [23:24] tbrown: hehehe have fun with that [23:24] tbrown: Have you read the installation instructions, yet? [23:24] APoulos: no idea as yet. [23:24] !offtopic [23:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:24] Which would get swapped out first? Stuff on a tmpfs mounted directory or stuff in resident RAM that's being used/read from a bit more often? [23:24] ROdodrigo: apt-cache policy nvidia-current will tell you the differences in builds from the two repositories. [23:24] ratcheer: No I have not am going to look at it know thanks for remining me [23:24] wylde: my end goal is to change the old users passwd and then login and change the username [23:24] Thunderhawk, wylde wait wait wait - are you on a laptop? [23:24] Hello 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? [23:25] the servers are 1U rack systems [23:25] anyone who tried to compile qt static in ubuntu? === mk_ is now known as breindrain [23:25] ROdodrigo: 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] Thunderhawk, wylde this is important, is your computer you're trying to configure a laptop? [23:25] Weaponized, you need to watch the permissions in the samba config file, thats all [23:26] is there a problem with USB 3.0 in Precise? [23:26] APoulos: the servers are 1U rack systems [23:26] dresden: what are you using to install it from usb? [23:26] APoulos, so which would be the fastier to install on a laptop with that specs?? [23:26] APoulo6: no it is a server that i am trying to fix [23:27] none of my usb 3 ports work [23:27] bcuraboy: 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 files [23:28] Thunderhawk: 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] APoulos, ok,maybe i'll follow your advice [23:28] Weaponized, most important option is security = user, so you can do user managment with smbpasswd, although this is nothing ubuntu specific [23:29] the encryption i think is the entire filesystem [23:29] APoulos: :facepalm:!! ha ha ha ha [23:29] is there any driver for my vga intel gma 4500mhd, i have tried to search it, but none [23:29] Thunderhawk: ok, unless you have a user account with some form of admin (root) access I have no idea how to help you. Sorry. [23:30] bcuraboy: 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 usb [23:30] wylde: the user acct that is there has sudo access, but is the only acct and at the same time is the one with the encryption [23:30] how do i give my self permission to a folder? [23:30] chmod it [23:30] chmod 777 path correct? [23:30] shadykhan: chown or chmod [23:30] chown [23:30] is there any driver for my vga intel gma 4500mhd, i have tried to search it, but none [23:30] yeah mod then own [23:30] Any ideas on why Altitude (the java game with small airplanes) doesn't start on Precise Pangolin? I installed openjdk7 and installation went fine, but when I try to start it I see the splash screen and then nothing. The process is running though. [23:30] also how can i check the current permissions? [23:31] shadykhan: chmod 777 would give everone permission [23:31] wylde: the only accts on the server is the 1 user and root [23:31] newbie_ubuntu: you already have it. no need to install anything. [23:31] shadykhan: chmod u+x [23:31] thanks [23:31] Thunderhawk: the problem is if the filesystem is encrypted you can't even chroot in to modify any files. [23:31] Does Gentoo Have a chat room [23:31] I'm getting fd0: read error. Folks in a bug report are saying to disable floppy support in firmware but I have an internal card reader. Does anyone know if disabling floppy support in firmware would effect my card reader? [23:31] qwd: but my screen blank [23:31] shadykhan, check the perms by doing a ls -l [23:31] tbrown: #gentoo [23:31] wylde: the system is running 11.04 [23:31] Logan_: Thanks Man:) [23:32] how do i use the nouveau driver instead of the nvidia one that doesn't work as of now? [23:32] on 12.04 [23:32] Thunderhawk: 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. [23:33] lousygarua: disable the nvidia driver in 'Additional drivers' [23:33] is there anyone on here that might know wylde [23:33] minimec: there's no nvidia driver there. that's the problem in the first place [23:33] qwd: my screen blank, so what is the problem then [23:33] Thunderhawk: why? [23:33] Thunderhawk: hang around and re-ask around every 20 minutes. also...see the following factoid. [23:34] minimec: there's some problem with nvidia and their driver for the current x server version as i understood [23:34] !patience | Thunderhawk [23:34] Thunderhawk: 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] wylde: i thank you for the help [23:34] Hey. 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] lousygarua: So you are probably using the nouveau driver. You can check that typing 'lsmod |grep nouveau' in a console. [23:34] acestuff: only if you have a 64 bit system [23:34] acestuff: goto the releases site, click the other download link [23:34] can anyone please help me , since i upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 i have a little wierd issue with the global menu under kde. if i start a kde app the menu the globalmenu work just fine but i run a gtk app the menu bar appears on both the window and the dbusmenu widget [23:35] I 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] Thunderhawk: wish I could do more, but I honestly think if the filesystem is encrypted you're going to need that users password. === ryan is now known as Guest80376 [23:35] minimec: btw, on the live cd (usb for me) it did run the nouveau driver and it did get listed with lsmod [23:35] minimec: it's not listed with lsmod. hmm maybe it's because my laptop falls back to the regular graphics card? [23:35] jfreak53: yes I have a 64 bit system. I can't get ubuntu to boot correctly though... Why does it have amd in the name? [23:36] tbrown: all you are going to get is rtfm and with good reason, your question is stupid. [23:36] lousygarua: regular would be intel? in that case 'lsmod |grep i915' [23:36] jfreak53: because of the encryption type, which is blowfish 1024 iterations [23:36] hey, 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 me [23:36] acestuff: 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 intensive [23:37] acestuff: plus some programs are not compiled on 64 bit os, you might have to manually compile some progs. I would suggest installing regular Ubu [23:37] jfreak53: or lots of compiling from sources :) [23:37] Thunderhawk: Oh, OK :) ha ha [23:37] minimec: 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 place [23:38] jfreak53: I have 64 bit versions of Windows and 64 bit Linux Mint. I also have more than 4GB RAM. [23:38] most programs do absolutely nothing with 64 bit ftr jfreak53. [23:38] jfreak53: can you help with the encryption [23:38] wylde: 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 dif [23:38] does the i3 550 CPU have a GPU on it? [23:38] like 100% sure? === Winball is now known as winb [23:38] that it's stable with ubuntu etc. [23:38] mouth1: that is a hardware question try ##hardware [23:38] Thunderhawk: Hmm, what is encrypted, I haven't been reading? [23:38] hey, 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 me [23:38] Thunderhawk: You will have better luck just trying to bruteforce against the password than "fixing" blowfish encrypted stuff. [23:38] ok thanks IdleOne [23:39] jfreak53: 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] jfreak53: But if it is supposed to work for both Intel and AMD chips the problem must be elsewhere... [23:39] L3top: ohhhh it's BF !! [23:39] hihi [23:39] do we have proprietary drivers for intel GPU's too or are there only open source? [23:39] hi [23:39] wylde: ha ha ha ha ha [23:39] hello [23:39] I 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? [23:39] haha [23:40] L3top: do you know of any good bruteforce programs that i can run from a cd-rom [23:40] chulbulpandey: stop spamming the channel. Do you have a support related question? [23:40] Thunderhawk: no your stuck friend, I studied encryption as a side course, your done for. If it's a partition or basically anything, if it's encrypted especially high your done dude, try brute forcing. What's encrypted that you have to get into? [23:40] hey, 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 me [23:40] Thunderhawk: jack the ripper, haven't done those things in years :( [23:40] It has been a very long time since I played with toys Thunderhawk. I am sure a quick google search will provide live cds just for that purpose. [23:41] Thunderhawk: if you really want to resort to that you should check out 'john-the-ripper' [23:41] wow... john is still the man... [23:41] newbie_ubuntu: please don't spam the channel. if you don't get a reply wait 20 minutes and try again, not 2 minutes. [23:41] wylde: thanks, not jack ha ha ha john, like I said wayyyy tooo many years ha hah a [23:41] :) [23:41] qwd:okay boss [23:42] ok thank you all [23:42] wylde, Thunderhawk there is actually a john the ripper boot cd, I haven't used or tried it in years, but it exists for bootup and bruting [23:42] After insalling Ubuntu I can't access my recovery partitin by pressing F10, is it gone? [23:42] newbie_ubuntu: 4 times now, I have tried to help you. You do not reply and then just repost the same question over and over. [23:42] newbie_ubuntu: try to remove quiet and splash from grub boot for a more verbose error [23:43] are the ati proprietary drivers more stable than the open source? [23:43] karamazov: not unless you deleted it, it's normally just because the window's bootloader is gone. Try running sudo fdisk -l [23:43] I attempt to boot Ubuntu (from disk, from USB, it doesn't matter) it all goes fine except it gets to the loading screen then after a few seconds everything goes black. Anyone know what the problem may be? [23:43] like for x server freezes [23:43] jfreak53: I didn't delete it, I just installed Ubuntu on the whole drive. [23:43] karamazov: then you deleted it. If you selected use whole drive when installing it erased the partition. Your done for sorry [23:43] jfreak53: So it should be there? [23:44] minimec: 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 nouveau [23:44] Thunderhawk: 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 story [23:44] karamazov: 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 restart [23:44] karakedi: if it's not there then it's gone. [23:44] Having some upgrade woes. 11.10 -> 12.04, normal boots ends up giving me this error: mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2) [23:45] how do i get sr0 out of the list of devices that udisks is polling? [23:46] lousygarua: Well I guess the intel GPU is a Intel GMA HD, used in the first intel iX series. They are running quiet good with linux. [23:46] Vonhinten, thats really bad, you need to install libc6:amd64 [23:46] wylde Thunderhawk: you could try a rainbow cracker, just don't know of any. Plus you would have to download something like 1GB or more for the full rainbow table [23:46] Can't do anything in the Recovery Console, says the drive is read only, no matter what I do. And now trying to load up a Flash Drive iso of 12.04 is giving an error saying 'initramfs unable to find a medium containing a live file system' [23:46] test [23:47] trevor [23:47] Vonhinten, you should md5sum check the iso [23:47] Any idea why postfix would log to BOTH syslog AND mail.log? [23:47] identify [23:47] also, why do my usb devices get the first scsi names like /dev/sda, dev/sdb === trevor is now known as Guest93700 [23:47] l3top: sorry i am in working now, thats why i can't concentrate one by one [23:47] jfreak53: I've read a little about but never played with it :) [23:47] Vonhinten: 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 updated [23:47] BLZbubba_: because of your bios and to avoid changing device names there is the UUID [23:47] anyone know how to identify in time for the nickname? [23:48] wylde: 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] L3top: i have done what u suggested before, but it doesnt work [23:48] jfreak53: yeah, I believe that was also done using graphics gpu's as well no? [23:48] newbie_ubuntu: that isnt to fix it, that is so we can begin fixing it. I need you to have a terminal, and pastebinit installed so I can help you. [23:48] kx, nice. Guess I'll try to get a live cd or flash boot working and copy what I can, and start fresh. [23:49] anyone? [23:49] newbie_ubuntu: lspci -nn | grep VGA | pastebinit [23:49] wylde: 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 ha [23:49] newbie_ubuntu: It will spit out a pastebin.com URL. I need that. [23:49] L3top: okay, let me do first [23:50] jfreak53: very true, however we should stop before we get slapped with a !ot lol [23:50] wylde: ha ha ha true [23:50] Vonhinten: ok probably the easiest solution. also consider using a different distribution if you don't want it to happen again in the future, pragmaticaly [23:50] minimec: so ubuntu is now using the intel graphics card, and not the nvidia one. will i feel anything differnet if i use the nvidia with the nouveau? for now i only need simple eyecandy effects for the desktop, no 3d games or whatever (at least for now before nvidia releases the nice cat) === rainfyre1 is now known as rainfyre [23:50] lousygarua: you are on a laptop with dual GPUs? [23:50] Guest93700: could yopu try to explain a little better? [23:50] L3top: yes [23:51] lousygarua: checkout bumblebee [23:51] well i just want to have a handle that isn't Guest93700 [23:51] lousygarua: It will allow you to switch to whichever one you like [23:51] Guest93700: /nick MyNewNickname [23:51] Guest93700: /msg nickserv help [23:51] are the ati proprietary drivers more stable than the open source? [23:51] ok thankyou L3top [23:52] lousygarua: No. You will be ok with the intel GPU. It works quiet well. === Guest93700 is now known as swamped [23:52] minimec: L3top: thanks === swamped is now known as pukesalot [23:53] hallo [23:53] hallo [23:53] iemand met veel ervaring in xubuntu hier [23:53] L3top: what is pastebinit for ? :) sorry i dont understand [23:54] nl ?? === Guest61474 is now known as hallofick [23:54] access === pukesalot is now known as swampthing [23:55] !nl | christophe [23:55] christophe: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [23:55] !pastebinit | newbie_ubuntu [23:55] newbie_ubuntu: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:58] any idea why postfix logs to both mail.log AND syslog? Would removing *.* from the rsyslog.d rules prevent this? Would removing *.* prevent other (important) events from logging? [23:59] acmeinc1, i would guess the answers to that are yes and yes
