| peter12355 | hi i get #failed (VM used: java-6-openjdk).# when installing something and i cant uninstall openjdk | 00:02 |
| Dade | 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? | 00:02 |
| jagginess | (ya there's a way to disable autologin) | 00:02 |

| xzhe | which ones) - these should be visible only on that gnome panel - not unity - why? i have alot instances running of these tools | 00:09 |
| YBinnenweg_ | Also my wireless connection works just fine in 2 different windows installations, and on my android smartphone. | 00:09 |
| ClintSp | Hey guys. Did an upgrade to precise from lucid. After the upgrade my GDM login manager was replace with unity-greeter. Unity-greeter does not list the user I commonly use. It lists "Guest" and "Samba User", but not my user "clint". Ideas? | 00:09 |
| Vonhinten | hmm, grabbed a brand new iso, still getting initramfs unable to find a medium containing a live file system | 00:09 |
| Vonhinten | not using USB 3.0 | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | YBinnenweg_: Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from your own Wireless network? | 00:10 |
| YBinnenweg_ | Jordan_U: let me check, brb | 00:10 |
| ApocGoD | Ubuntu 12.04 clean install. Boot was hanging with a grub rescue error so I just installed 12.04 now it is hanging at Verifying DMI pool | 00:11 |
| YBinnenweg | Jordan_u nope I can't ping to 8.8.8.8 | 00:11 |

| kel_ | like windows? | 00:12 |
| YBinnenweg | Yep | 00:12 |
| YBinnenweg | Every windows computer here, and all android devices | 00:13 |
| kel_ | ip addressing problem... | 00:13 |
| kel_ | disconnect the router and reset it.... | 00:13 |
| kel_ | ? | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | YBinnenweg: What is the output of "ifconfig" and "route -n"? | 00:13 |
| kel_ | know that basic but still | 00:13 |
| darren | Can you ping 127.0.0.1 :o? | 00:14 |
| qwd | Can someone confirm that the encrypt option doesn't appear in the menu when right clicking a file in 12.04? Seems like an obvious bug. | 00:15 |

| ztag100 | what is the channel for polling? | 00:15 |
| Jordan_U | !poll | ztag100 | 00:15 |
| ubottu | ztag100: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 00:15 |

| MadRabbit320 | hi all, d/l'ed, burned 12.04; it loads on my desktop, but I can't get it online (hardwired). I put in my network name & pw for my network, but it won't go. Is there a certain tab or something I need to use? thnx. | 00:17 |
| Fyodorovna | nmittal_, out of curiosity why? | 00:17 |
| ApocGoD | Can anyone help me? | 00:18 |
| nmittal_ | Fyodorovna, i need compiz running :) | 00:18 |
| daftykins | !ask | ApocGoD | 00:19 |

| gaelfx | MadRabbit320: what type of password does your network have? | 00:19 |
| nmittal_ | Fyodorovna, do i get the effects like wobbly windows/desktop cube as soon as i login | 00:19 |
| ApocGoD | Sorry, did that earlier and got no response. | 00:19 |
| daftykins | ah yes | 00:19 |
| itaylor57 | just | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | ApocGoD: Do you have more than one hard drive? | 00:19 |
| daftykins | ApocGoD: wow, not seen the "Verifying DMI pool data..." line in years. that would suggest GRUB has failed to install, is there something special about your hard disk setup / config? | 00:20 |

| nimbiotics | hello evry1. ON a fresh 12.04 install; I'm trying to install the brother mfc-490cw drivers. I'm following the steps given at brother.com and the first one is to issue the "sudo aa-complain cupsd" command, but when I do I get"sudo: aa-complain: command not found" What am I suposed to do? TIA! | 00:20 |
| ApocGoD | I had two hard drives, removed the secondary one which sent me on the grub recovery issue. | 00:20 |
| daftykins | ApocGoD: is it an old PATA system? | 00:21 |
| Fyodorovna | nmittal_, should run automatically but you could put that in startup applications as a command and name it what you want. The cube etc should run if setup in the auto start or you command generally run without the ccp | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | YBinnenweg: Yes. Can you try "ping 192.168.178.1"? | 00:21 |
| Fyodorovna | s/you/tour | 00:21 |
| YBinnenweg | Nope | 00:21 |
| Fyodorovna | your | 00:21 |
| YBinnenweg | Doesn't work | 00:21 |
| ApocGoD_ | I had a primary and secondary drive with Ubuntu installed on the primary. | 00:22 |
| nmittal_ | Fyodorovna, thanks.. let me try that | 00:22 |
| daftykins | ApocGoD: but are they SATA or PATA? | 00:22 |
| ApocGoD_ | Removed the secondary which caused the grub error, so I formatted and installed 12.04 | 00:22 |
| ApocGoD_ | SATA | 00:22 |
| daftykins | ok | 00:22 |
| ApocGoD_ | Now im stuck at the pool screen | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | ApocGoD: Do you currently have more than one hard drive? | 00:22 |
| chull2058 | Greetings Channel, is there anyone who might be able to help me figure out why a certain theme will not work on my system? | 00:23 |
| daftykins | Jordan_U: look up | 00:23 |
| Fyodorovna | nmittal_, no problem. | 00:23 |
| ApocGoD_ | There is only a single drive installed now. | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | ApocGoD: If you look through your BIOS menus does the BIOS list this drive? | 00:23 |
| daftykins | ApocGoD: i can understand it going to rescue before, but after a reinstall with only the one in that's plain odd | 00:23 |
| ApocGoD_ | It lists the single drive, a 440gb SATA | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | ApocGoD | 00:24 |
| ubottu | ApocGoD: 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). | 00:24 |

| newbie_ubuntu | L3top:sorry, i get go now, see u in hours later | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | Iron_: What are the actual symptoms you're seeing? | 00:25 |
| Fyodorovna | Iron_, a full install? | 00:25 |
| YBinnenweg | Jordan_U no I can't ping to 192.168.178.1 | 00:25 |
| Iron_ | Jordan_U: well, it does not detect the prop wlan drivers and as I plug in the ethernet cable, it gets the IP and all, but does not navigate to nor ping any host | 00:26 |
| darren | YBinnenweg: Can you ping 127.0.0.1? | 00:26 |
| Iron_ | Fyodorovna: yes | 00:26 |
| YBinnenweg | Darren, yes I can | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | Iron_: Have you tried the Additional Drivers utility? | 00:26 |
| ApocGoD_ | How am I supposed to run the script if I can't get the computer to turn on? | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | darren: YBinnenweg: That's bizarre, given that according to the ifconfig output that's on a different network. | 00:27 |
| Iron_ | Well, I tryied to install on the notebook itself, but the installer cracks when reading the partitions | 00:27 |
| celthunder | ApocGoD_: whats the issue with your system turning on? sorry just got here | 00:27 |

| Demnogonis | does anyone know a good channel for java developers? | 00:28 |
| ApocGoD_ | celthunder: I'm having an issue getting past the Verifying DMI pool screen after installing 12.04 | 00:28 |

| MonkeyDust | Demnogonis #java | 00:29 |
| YBinnenweg | Under networksettings it gets an ip adres and DNS server though =/ | 00:29 |
| Fyodorovna | ApocGoD_, the script name has changed so the links here a good but the command is incorrect. download the script extract it to your desktop and run this command and pastebin the results text http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript | 00:30 |
| Demnogonis | invitation required :( | 00:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Demnogonis i just entered without invitation | 00:30 |

| Demnogonis | hm... | 00:30 |
| Iron_ | Jordan_U: yes, it does not recognize any additional drivers | 00:30 |
| cyphase | ooh, UDS is in oakland | 00:30 |
| cyphase | i might go just for fun | 00:30 |
| Iron_ | Jordan_U: it's tricky | 00:31 |
| Jordan_U | For some readon my $PATH doesn't contain /sbin/, /usr/sbin/, /usr/local/sbin/ etc. I know I can add them back in .profile, but why are they not there to begin with? | 00:31 |
| === VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top | ||
| Jordan_U | Iron_: That has nothing to do with your having initially installed Ubuntu in a VM. That just means that the drivers aren't available :( | 00:31 |
| celthunder | ApocGoD_: change your kernel? | 00:31 |
| Iron_ | Jordan_U: it works flawlessly on the livecd | 00:32 |
| ApocGoD_ | celthunder: I have no idea how to do that. | 00:32 |
| Iron_ | !sad | 00:32 |
| celthunder | Jordan_U: how did you add the user? | 00:32 |
| celthunder | Jordan_U: what shell are you using? | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | celthunder: It's the user which was created during install, many releases ago. bash. | 00:33 |

| celthunder | Jordan_U: no idea then...bash and useradd usually makes a reasonable path...i use zsh so could be wrong though | 00:33 |
| gaelfx | !notunity | xzhe | 00:33 |
| ubottu | xzhe: 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 | 00:33 |

| jk4287 | Hi, I am sick of the Nvidia 295.xx drivers with Ubuntu 12.04, as it keeps logging me out to login screen (getting segfault and xorg crash) . I would like to downgrade the nvidia driver to 290.xx . any idea how I can do that? | 00:34 |
| MonkeyDust | xzhe try gnome-panel | 00:34 |
| darren | Argh, I have a problem with unity performance, If I don't change workspaces for a few seconds, the unity launcher lags, and so does other window animation. Using the 295.40 nVidia driver. | 00:34 |
| varactor | Anyone run 12.04 on a laptop with dual batteries? | 00:35 |
| gaelfx | jk4287: deactivate the driver, then uninstall the package, then look for the 290 driver in the repos or from NVidia's website | 00:35 |
| gaelfx | xzhe: the same thing applies to 12.04 | 00:35 |
| Fyodorovna | cyphase, here is a link that might help. http://uds.ubuntu.com/ | 00:35 |
| celthunder | jk4287: uninstall the modules and go to nvidia.com? | 00:35 |
| cyphase | Fyodorovna, i know | 00:35 |
| Flannel | cyphase: Yeah, it would be. | 00:36 |
| Iron_ | Guys, thank you for your time, I will get the tools to get rid of the faulty HDD and then I will install it on the notebook itself, cause all I do has no effect on the issue | 00:36 |
| jk4287 | celthunder, yeah. i did try to download the driver from nvidia. but, i have problem to run the driver file. something to do with the dkms i think | 00:36 |
| gaelfx | xzhe: ubottu only still says 11.10 because 12.04 just came out | 00:36 |
| jk4287 | celthunder, is the install straight forward? | 00:36 |
| aberon | why the hell does Java 7 not have OpenGL ? | 00:37 |
| xzhe | gaelfx: oke, just wonder if unity-people did what alot ppl wanted for so long - looks like not... | 00:37 |
| gaelfx | aberon: because Oracle hates anything with the word open in it | 00:37 |
| MonkeyDust | aberon maybe the people in #java can tell | 00:37 |

| DasEi | gaelfx: systempartis are usually done from a live (usb,disc) | 00:44 |
| gaelfx | mk: my point was that there is no tool to resize mounted partitions because that's really dangerous | 00:44 |
| xzhe | varactor: 10.10 is not an lts -- anyway im still thinking about upgrading or not | 00:44 |
| mk | varactor: is that the easiest way to do it? I was hoping for something simpler, like a tool that I'd have to use, and then reboot, and wait | 00:44 |

| mk | varactor: ok - so I take it there's no such tool. I take it that a 7.1 boot disk will work fine? Will it mess up my boot? | 00:47 |
| sfears | That depends on how much data you want to save from that partition bugs_bugger. | 00:47 |
| Gnea | bugs_bugger: oh........... | 00:47 |
| iceroot | bugs_bugger: then use your normal data and recreate a backup of it | 00:47 |

| varactor | im new to ubuntu though im still reading up | 00:47 |
| bugs_bugger | gaelfx: stupid *swear* *swear* X-Server crashed on me and took gparted with it | 00:47 |
| gaelfx | varactor: no, that's correct | 00:47 |
| varactor | i caved in D: | 00:48 |
| Gnea | bugs_bugger: let me guess: you attempted to resize a partition that was mounted | 00:48 |
| gaelfx | man, seems like a lot of people are crashing xserver, I wonder why I haven't had a problem with that? | 00:48 |

| Gnea | bugs_bugger: well, good point... OTOH, I just can't see why X crashed | 00:49 |
| test | au | 00:49 |
| bugs_bugger | Gnea: might be cinnamon | 00:49 |
| gaelfx | Gnea: lotsa people have had trouble with x crashing | 00:49 |
| mk | enis/test: if you want to do testing, find a blank channel | 00:49 |
| jiohdi | xserver is ancient and there is a movement to replace it, but change takes time | 00:49 |
| xzhe | jiohdi: there is a movement to kick it out - google: wayland | 00:50 |
| kantlivelong | lol | 00:50 |
| jiohdi | xzhe, too much inertia to overcome for a quick replacement | 00:50 |

| ApocGoD | I can get Ubuntu 12.04 to start via live cd, but when installed it hangs at the Verifying DMI pool screen. | 00:50 |
| t0ntin | Hi, all. I installed 12.04, updated it, restarted, got to the part where I choose either windows or ubuntu, I chose Ubuntu and the computer reboots every time. Any ideas? | 00:51 |
| test | test | 00:51 |
| mk | enis: use a blank channel | 00:51 |
| test | test | 00:51 |
| bugs_bugger | what are all those test spammers about? | 00:51 |
| mk | it's the same guy, probably testing a bot or something | 00:51 |
| xzhe | jiohdi: it is possible, first it will be like xorg under wayland but it is still nice... | 00:51 |
| gaelfx | ApocGoD: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000474.htm | 00:51 |
| xzhe | jiohdi: things takes time - good that someone started smth to chg it | 00:52 |
| jiohdi | xzhe, people have been saying its coming... and eventually it will | 00:52 |
| MadRabbit320 | thnx for the help; enjoy. | 00:52 |
| bugs_bugger | jiohdi: like....GNOME 3 | 00:52 |
| jiohdi | I use lxde :) | 00:52 |
| gaelfx | ApocGoD: you probably need to reinstall grub | 00:52 |
| * Gnea uses E17 | 00:53 | |
| xzhe | jiohdi: it didnt came to the 12.04 cuz its lts - lts need to be stable - wait until next or 2 ubuntu releases | 00:53 |
| vitor-br | my ubuntu fails to load unity after login... what can I do? I'm using 4.12... | 00:53 |
| bugs_bugger | jiohdi: thats for sure is faster ^^ | 00:53 |
| Fyodorovna | bugs_bugger, for a challenge check out post 8 here http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=14753 | 00:53 |
| bugs_bugger | Fyodorovna: thanks | 00:53 |
| Gnea | vitor-br: that's a feature, not a bug... can you change sessions? | 00:53 |
| jiohdi | xzhe, yes | 00:53 |
| enis | testtesttest | 00:53 |
| jiohdi | vitiho, fails to load unity... sounds like something to celebrate ;) | 00:54 |
| Fyodorovna | bugs_bugger, way beyond my means at least to try but interesting, | 00:54 |
| Gnea | !ops | enis spams us with "19:53 < enis> testtesttest" continually. | 00:54 |
| vitor-br | Gnea I can... | 00:54 |
| bugs_bugger | Fyodorovna: well i'm afraid its for ext fs only | 00:54 |
| jiohdi | sorry vitor-br | 00:54 |
| gaelfx | jiohdi: no, something to celebrate would be if he logs in and the top-panel is gone but everything else works fine | 00:54 |
| jiohdi | gaelfx, thats called openbox :) | 00:54 |
| bugs_bugger | Fyodorovna: but ill look into it. | 00:54 |
| Gnea | vitor-br: okay, make sure that unity is selected... if not, try a different session.... does that load? | 00:54 |
| mk | can I resize my root ext3 and ntfs using gparted, via a 7.10 livecd, without messing up my boot? | 00:55 |

| Gnea | IdleOne: chill, it's not like I abuse it. | 00:55 |
| Fyodorovna | bugs_bugger, good luck for sure. :) | 00:55 |
| gaelfx | jiohdi: he's talking about the on installed by default | 00:56 |
| vitor-br | Gnea still not loading, when I restart the computer, the same happens. | 00:56 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: you used it twice for what really isn't an emrgency | 00:56 |
| bugs_bugger | Fyodorovna: thanks | 00:56 |
| gaelfx | TheBuntu: open dash and type usb, it should show up | 00:56 |
| DasEi | TheBuntu: either usb-creator or unetbootin (amongst other possibilities can be used) | 00:56 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: usually it's a bit more vocal, I didn't realize it had been muted. | 00:56 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: you do realize it's been quite awhile since I bothered to use it, right? okay then. | 00:56 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: it hasn't, you are just using it wrong | 00:56 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: well, sorry. got an error saying that it wasn't formed correctly, so I had no idea if it got through or not. | 00:57 |

| finish06 | can anyone link to the ubuntu server 64bit torrent d/l? cannot find it | 00:59 |
| jiohdi | mk, it could but likely will not unless you change the beginning of the partition /boot is locatedon | 00:59 |
| bugs_bugger | burningsands_: to change the login wp you gotta hack around a little and copy the desired wallpaper into the path with sudo. or you could try ubuntu tweak ;) | 00:59 |
| DasEi | mk:no, but you will have to recheck fstab afterwards | 00:59 |

| finish06 | thanks wylde | 01:01 |
| ThePendulum | Installing Ubuntu 12.04 without a useable GUI like a boss here... | 01:02 |
| jdhfr | no, I mean normal gnome 3 and not that g*nity | 01:02 |
| t0ntin | Hi, all. I installed 12.04, updated it, restarted, got to the part where I choose either windows or ubuntu, I chose Ubuntu and the computer reboots every time. Any ideas? | 01:02 |
| vitor-br | No solution to my problem? I reinstalled the packages and deleted the configuration files and the error continues .. | 01:02 |
| wylde | finish06: np | 01:02 |
| DasEi | jdhfr: ubuntu-desktop | 01:02 |
| finish06 | it appears to find the server torrent download, you have to go through the desktop page, then go to alternative downloads via that way and there it is... | 01:02 |
| bugs_bugger | t0ntin: can you see the grub menu? you might wanna try to boot an older kernel version if thats what has been updated | 01:03 |
| DasEi | !gnome3 | jdhfr | 01:03 |
| ubottu | jdhfr: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 01:03 |
| bugs_bugger | jdhfr: !cinnamon | 01:03 |
| bugs_bugger | dooo! theres no cinnamon entry?? | 01:03 |
| DasEi | bugs_bugger: factoid, then | | 01:04 |
| jdhfr | I INSTALLED GNOME-SHELL PACKAGE BUT IT SEGFAULTS | 01:04 |
| DasEi | !cinnamon | 01:04 |
| bugs_bugger | oops | 01:04 |
| bugs_bugger | DasEi: still aint workin | 01:04 |
| ThePendulum | One of Ubuntu's major mistakes was implementing Unity too soon. It has improved a lot in 12.04, but that's too late for many. | 01:04 |
| DasEi | bugs_bugger: so there isn't one on that trigger | 01:04 |
| bugs_bugger | jdhfr: no need to shout. hit the capslog? | 01:04 |
| MonkeyDust | finish06 http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads | 01:05 |
| wylde | !flavors | jdhfr | 01:05 |
| ubottu | jdhfr: !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 | 01:05 |
| MonkeyDust | finish06 forget that, it's desktop | 01:05 |
| bugs_bugger | jdhfr: so, again, another alternative would be cinnamon | 01:05 |
| Fyodorovna | jdhfr, heh whats that sonny let me turn down my hearing aid. :) | 01:05 |
| jdhfr | cinnamon is a junk | 01:05 |
| wylde | jdhfr: or MATE <--- a fork of gnome 2 | 01:05 |
| bugs_bugger | jdhfr: aint talking to you no more :| | 01:06 |
| MonkeyDust | wylde not a fork, it's still gnome3 | 01:06 |
| bugs_bugger | jdhfr: ^^ | 01:06 |
| DasEi | jdhfr: what's the exact error you get ? tried a full update / reconfiguring x ? | 01:06 |
| Fyodorovna | jdhfr, have you done any removal of unity? | 01:06 |
| finish06 | haha MonkeyDust | 01:06 |
| jdhfr | glib-gio-error: settings schema '<random junk here>' is not installed | 01:07 |
| VampiricPadraig | Hi everyone | 01:07 |
| jdhfr | trace/abort trap (core dumped) | 01:08 |
| wylde | MonkeyDust: http://mate-desktop.org/about/ <-- claims to be a fork of gnome 2. | 01:08 |
| darren | Is it normal for windows and the unity launcher to "lag" after staying in a single work space for a period of time? Otherwise, it doesnt have this problem if you switch workspaces and back. | 01:09 |
| MonkeyDust | wylde what i know, is that gnome2 is no longer maintained by the gnome guys | 01:09 |
| bugs_bugger | MonkeyDust: afaik MATE is a fork of gnome3 | 01:09 |
| wylde | MonkeyDust: exactly why the mainainers of MATE made their own fork of gnome 2 | 01:10 |
| varactor | im sure someone is working on gnome 2, kde 3 is still alive | 01:10 |
| bugs_bugger | MonkeyDust: Cinnamon is the GNOME3 approach to merge classic gnome-panel behaviour and gnome-shell style | 01:10 |
| bugs_bugger | MonkeyDust: ...thats based on Gnome3 | 01:11 |
| PiNinja | So, I want to start a program using './', but the program is in a separate directory. How would I write that in a script? | 01:11 |
| MonkeyDust | bugs_bugger you should address wylde , i use neither cinnamon or mate | 01:11 |
| Infinite8 | Want to switch over to the 64 bit version to take advantage of the 8GB of RAM I have installed. Will all my applications run on the 64 bit? | 01:11 |
| wylde | PiNinja: './path/to/binary' | 01:11 |
| jdhfr | Infinite8: most will, but will be less stable | 01:12 |
| PiNinja | wylde: Thank you. | 01:12 |
| krababbel | Infinite8: probably | 01:12 |
| VampiricPadraig | Installed 12.04 earlier. I have the RT2501 Wireless USB. Doesn't seem to be performing well. High ping in TeamSpeak, sites taking forever to load etc. Anyway I could improve it? Thanks | 01:12 |
| Infinite8 | jdhfr: shld I just go with the 32 bit and PAE, or still 63 bit | 01:12 |
| bugs_bugger | MonkeyDust: ah, right. lost the overview ^^ | 01:12 |
| darren | Infinite8, when I have to use 32 bit applications on my 64 bit install, I just install ia32-libs | 01:13 |
| varactor | VampiricPadraig, anything with slow networking, I always disable ipv6 and go from there | 01:13 |
| darren | if that helps, lol | 01:13 |
| zen_monkey | i can't bring my wifi up (rtl8187b internal) i get SIOCSIFFLAGS unknonwn error 132... what can i do? | 01:13 |
| Infinite8 | darren: how do u install this ia32-libs | 01:13 |
| varactor | Infinite8, PAE is just as good unless youll need apps to use over 2gb of memory | 01:14 |
| bugs_bugger | MonkeyDust: maybe i shouldnt advertise the shell of ubuntus rival lm here anyway ;) | 01:14 |
| Dr_willis | i always use 64bit os on any 64bit hardware i got. - not seen a need to limit myself to 32bit these days | 01:14 |
| Dr_willis | i have seen benchmarks showing pae being slower then a 64bit install. but that was last year. it may be better now. | 01:14 |
| L3top | varactor: why is that? The over 2gb app assign | 01:14 |
| zen_monkey | Infinite8, on a terminal run "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" | 01:15 |
| darren | Infinite8: in ubuntu: open a terminal, and type sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 01:15 |
| zen_monkey | without the quotes | 01:15 |
| PiNinja | Would I have to escape a slash with this command? .//home/user/binary ? | 01:15 |
| varactor | pae can use up to 64gb of ram | 01:15 |
| L3top | Dr_willis: slower for what by how much? | 01:15 |
| darren | oh zen beat me to it xD | 01:15 |
| cmon | any1 know where I could get information using rtmpdump? | 01:15 |
| Dr_willis | L3top, a few % depending on the task. i forget where i saw the benchmarks at. | 01:15 |
| zen_monkey | and i waited a bit hehe ;.) | 01:15 |
| VampiricPadraig | varactor, That seemed to improve website speeds but doesn't fix TeamSpeak. | 01:16 |
| L3top | I have seen phoronix benchmarking with specific applications... | 01:16 |
| wylde | PiNinja: no idea, although I thought \ was escape not / ... I bet they know over in #bash though! :) | 01:16 |
| darren | Is it normal for windows and the unity launcher to "lag" after staying in a single work space for a period of time? Otherwise, it doesnt have this problem if you switch workspaces and back. | 01:16 |
| jdhfr | how to fix gnome-shell? | 01:16 |
| PiNinja | wylde: Thank you. I'll go ask over there. | 01:16 |
| krababbel | Isn't it more like 32bit apps can't see more than 4GB, but you have to substract the memory used by the OS? | 01:16 |
| darren | Its like the launcher lags to like 30 fps, in comparison, if that makes sense | 01:16 |
| zen_monkey | jdhfr, fix? | 01:16 |
| DasEi | jdhfr: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome | 01:17 |
| DasEi | jdhfr: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-shell* | 01:17 |

| abs | HI people! So, I want to edit/make a simple logo. I see that Gimp is not installed by default... is there some other program that is installed that Iḿ maybe not informed about? | 01:18 |
| DasEi | krababbel: in general, though can : | 01:18 |
| DasEi | !pae | 01:18 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 01:18 |
| bugs_bugger | abs: just install gimp? | 01:18 |
| DasEi | krababbel: any reason not to use 64bit >? | 01:18 |
| varactor | not really | 01:19 |
| krababbel | DasEi: no, I'm using 64bit :) | 01:19 |
| vexaxv | errr anyone excited for steam on linux? | 01:19 |
| varactor | but most of the 64bit apps are just recompiled 32 bit ones | 01:19 |
| zen_monkey | gaelfx, what for? if after the suggestion on ia32... i just got in the middle between Infinite8 and darren | 01:19 |
| bugs_bugger | abs: if you want to edit an svg or any vector, inkscape might be the choice for you | 01:19 |
| gaelfx | zen_monkey: I know, I was just saying that because it's simpler that ia32libs, it's a meta-package that makes sure anything needed for multiarch is there | 01:20 |
| krababbel | Though if I had less RAM, I'd use 32bit. | 01:20 |
| Infinite8 | gaelfx: what's simpler then the ia32 | 01:20 |
| krababbel | Because I can | 01:20 |
| DasEi | vexaxv: merely, thread for #ubuntu-offtopic rather | 01:20 |
| zen_monkey | gaelfx, i'll take that bit of knowledge with me, although the ones on the topic were they ;) | 01:21 |
| gaelfx | Infinite8: apt-get install multiarch-support, since it makes sure all the necessary libs and whatnot are there | 01:21 |
| Infinite8 | gaelfx: plus the ia32 u mentioned? | 01:21 |
| gaelfx | zen_monkey: haha, yeah, sorry about that, I wasn't sure who exactly was talking before | 01:21 |
| krababbel | Some computations are faster on 64bits, also there was a performance test of nvidia drivers in Windows7 and 64bit was a bit faster there too. | 01:21 |
| zen_monkey | gaelfx, no prob | 01:21 |
| gaelfx | Infinite8: multiarch-support is a meta package, it will install the ia32libs and whatever else is needed and keep it all up to date | 01:22 |

| darren | Is it normal for windows and the unity launcher to "lag" after staying in a single work space for a period of time? Otherwise, it doesnt have this problem if you switch workspaces and back. | 01:24 |
| varactor | after that make sure port 23 is open | 01:24 |
| nightrid3r | Fyodorovna: looks normal but none of the apps launch except for the dash | 01:24 |
| varactor | and sshd is running | 01:24 |
| TobsCore | haha, i expierenced many nice users on here, so I thought I'd try it again. | 01:24 |
| TobsCore | And as I'm a ubuntu user I thought it would by my mistake. | 01:24 |

| gsr | Hi all. Just got a second hand computer, with an ATI Radeon HD series graphics card, and dual monitors. At first, with the free drivers, ubuntu could see both monitors, but would only mirror them (settings->displays->[uncheck the mirror option] did nothing). Installed fglrx, and amdcccle saw both monitors and enabled them as dual monitors. But now the background on the right on is all white, and the display settings in ubuntu only see | 01:26 |

| jfreak53 | TobsCore: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 01:27 |

| === Shojo is now known as OviOne | ||
| jfreak53 | TobsCore: that's if you have firewall enabled. | 01:27 |
| ejv | it's not quite that simple, he needs to adjust his local firewall and/or router to open port 22, or whatever port he wants sshd to listen on | 01:27 |
| krababbel | Infinite8: you could search ubuntu packages to see if the stuff you need works too. | 01:28 |

| ubottu | TobsCore: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

| escott | syk, free -m will be your help there. the thing to keep in mind is that having 16gb of ram means you are more likely too keep lots of applications open and if you hibernate those programs must be written out to swap. so if you dont run memory intensive things then it wont matter, but if you do then you have to have space for all your running applications | 01:56 |
| gaelfx | syk: it is safest to have swap twice the size of ram, but since you have 16GB, chances are you won't need much swap except for hibernate, in which case the swap only needs to be as big as the amount of ram you're using at the time | 01:56 |

| studentz | joker are you in a terminal or a desktop? | 02:05 |

| ThePendulum | violinappren: It doesn't return much useful. The vendor is supposed to be Intel, that's all it says | 02:05 |
| nightrid3r | !notunity | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 02:05 |

| b^j | xubuntu: i am still betting on gparted being hung | 02:24 |

| violinappren | tonyyarusso: read upward | 02:24 |
| ClintZ | escott: OK. Maybe I should give that a try? Any ideas why user wouldn't be listed? I suppose I could create a new one.. | 02:24 |

| OhGodWhy | Yeah, see that's what I thought. | 02:25 |

| tonyyarusso | jdhfr: Someone here might be able to help you with your issue, but they also might not know the answer, and as volunteers you can't demand a solution. With patience and use of various resources (this channel, forums, mailing lists, and bug reports) you can usually find a solution eventually. | 02:25 |

| Sixmsj | is there a way to get a global menu for emacs in 12.04? | 02:26 |
| peridot | AVP: that file is a disk image, you can't run it with or without wine | 02:26 |
| violinappren | AVP: ISO images are not executables ... | 02:26 |
| nightrid3r | AVP: why would you run an iso in wine ???? | 02:26 |
| OhGodWhy | DasEi, I would prefer to use DDR3 but as I understand it, DDR3 has a different pin count and my slots are DDR2. | 02:26 |
| wylde | DasEi: yep I know, but I've always found it safer to lean towards the less exotic when you can't see the hardware yourself :) | 02:26 |
| DasEi | OhGodWhy: so you have your answer then :) | 02:26 |
| b^j | xubuntu: is it gone from the ps listing? i would try the reboot violinappren suggested and see what happens then | 02:26 |
| OhGodWhy | So frequency shouldn't matter? It's not an exotic motherboard. | 02:26 |
| studentz | AVP: It is a file or an application | 02:27 |

| petersonsilva | hello guys, I've installed gnome 3.4 on Precise and I can't change the shell theme in gnome-tweak-tool. The drop-down menu is locked, and there's some sort of warning sign beside it with no clue on how to solve this problem. Do you have any idea on that? =x | 02:27 |
| newtoarch | Has anyone installed the alx driver? | 02:27 |
| OhGodWhy | I have a very tiny timeframe to order all the parts, and I know what to get for most of it, but the RAM has me stumped. | 02:27 |
| ztag100 | omg, I am loving the HUD | 02:27 |
| b^j | xubuntu: did you reboot after you had the issues with gparted? | 02:27 |
| OhGodWhy | Keep in mind the computer's currently being sent here, so I don't have it with me. | 02:27 |
| DasEi | OhGodWhy: sudo apt-get install hwinfo pastebinit && sudo hwinfo | pastebinit ;apart there is #hardware | 02:27 |
| atlas | Quick question that someone may have the answer for. Does Xubuntu use a Grub2 bootloader | 02:27 |
| wylde | OhGodWhy: if it has DDR2 now then that's what you have to replace it with. | 02:27 |
| AVP | wrong file a next file anyways what do i do | 02:27 |
| xubuntu | b^j i had problems because I cant even boot in any system, whole drive is corrupted | 02:28 |
| violinappren | atlas: yes | 02:28 |
| DasEi | atlas: yess | 02:28 |
| escott | OhGodWhy, ddr2 and ddr3 are not slot compatible | 02:28 |
| OhGodWhy | wylde: I know DDR2, I mean do I need a certain frequency? Or anything will do as long as I swap out all the sticks. | 02:28 |
| b^j | xubuntu: right so have you rebooted the live environment since the gparted issues | 02:28 |
| atlas | is there a way to change to a burg loader for the fancy GUI | 02:28 |
| atlas | ? | 02:28 |
| DasEi | OhGodWhy: fsb of cpu ? | 02:28 |
| studentz | AVP a file like docx is different from a program that you want to install using wine | 02:28 |
| escott | OhGodWhy, if you had ddr2 800 and added ddr2 600 that would not be good b/c your ram would be slower. if you are replacing all it shouldnt matter | 02:28 |
| Fingel | anyone know how I can disable the check for new release screen on old releases? Its for a kiosk | 02:28 |
| wylde | OhGodWhy: you can actually mix them, however it's best to match them so that all are the same. | 02:28 |
| OhGodWhy | Thanks for the advice man. | 02:29 |
| Jeruvy | OhGodWhy, you should review your motherboards documentation for the type of memory you should use. | 02:29 |
| OhGodWhy | I'll do that. | 02:29 |
| DasEi | atlas: sure, can ue other bootloaders, too | 02:29 |

| atlas | Im looking to dual boot crunchbang and dont want ruin it | 02:29 |
| escott | pmp6nl, why not use ssh-copy-id it will setup all the permissions for you, and won't obliterate your auth_keys file | 02:29 |
| AVP | violinappren: not a IOS, a browser that only support windsow but i want to run it in wine | 02:30 |
| tomswartz07 | After my 12.04 upgrade, my root fs partition is stuffed full! I cant uninstall or do anything. How can I clear up space on the / partition? | 02:30 |
| DasEi | atlas: use alternate or netinstaller, don't make the ubu-installer install grub, add it to crunchbag's then | 02:30 |
| Jordan_U | atlas: We don't support BURG here, and it seems like it has likely been abandoned. GRUB2 has themes also, like this one: http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/ | 02:30 |
| AVP | studentz: didn't know | 02:30 |
| pmp6nl | escott, not sure, just following the directions at http://library.linode.com/securing-your-server#sph_using-ssh-key-pair-authentication | 02:30 |
| tonyyarusso | AVP: right-click, run in Wine? | 02:30 |
| tonyyarusso | tomswartz07: try 'apt-get clean' first. | 02:31 |
| violinappren | AVP: then why is there an ubuntu ISO in that message! | 02:31 |
| balazs | Hello. How do I fix things if one of my package dependencies is messed up ? It needs to remove a package that is "essential for the system" | 02:31 |

| violinappren | AVP: for running a windows executable just use: wine yourfile.exe | 02:34 |
| DasEi | PiNinja: permission to store on the cookie dir ? and rather have a log on disk for that | 02:35 |
| tonyyarusso | PiNinja: Pretty much the only thing you can do is try using a different flash player. ie if you're using Adobe's try Gnash and vice versa. Beyond that you're pretty much out of luck - Flash is evil like that. | 02:35 |

| ThePendulum | Is there any other way to fix my Ubuntu installation? | 02:42 |
| k014 | but says: make: *** No rule to make target `%.pdf', needed by `all'. Stop. | 02:43 |
| DasEi | ThePendulum: haven't seen your issue first hand | 02:43 |
| Flannel | tomswartz07: well, you could remove (via rm) old kernels, assuming you don't have /boot on a separate partition (this won't matter, becuase you'll purge their packages later anyway) | 02:43 |
| tonyyarusso | jdhfr: you don't need that to file a bug..... It may make your bug report more useful, depending on the bug, but it's certainly not required. | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | k014: Try ##workingset for questions about make | 02:43 |
| escott | k014, all %.pdf needs to be all: filename.pdf | 02:43 |
| tomswartz07 | what has me comfused is that my / is 168G and its completely full now. I have no way of determining what filled the partiton; boabab locks on use. Old kernels are gone. | 02:43 |
| omgirc | ubuntu 12.04 with recommended nvidia drivers, the unity sidebar doesn't hide like it did in 11.10. how do you make it hide when you make a window full screen? | 02:44 |
| k014 | Jordan_U: ok i will go there thx, escott: i want to use a inference target | 02:44 |
| wylde | jdhfr: you don't need to install anything. You can just run 'ubuntu-bug packagename' or 'apport-collect bugnumber' | 02:44 |
| tomswartz07 | Flannel: I only have 3.2 kernels installed from my fresh upgrade | 02:44 |
| Flannel | tomswartz07: what about du? | 02:44 |
| pmp6nl | DasEi, thanks for the tip. I will install those and change the port | 02:44 |
| ThePendulum | Ubuntu still boots with a black or half (recovery) screen | 02:44 |
| jdhfr | wylde: yes, apport is a name of a junk I mean | 02:45 |
| escott | k014, but its completely wild at that point. make all with all: %.pdf translates to "make anything and everything that could possibly exists and ends in .pdf" which is not what you want. you dont want it to try and make asdlfka;lhetr;.pdf | 02:45 |
| tomswartz07 | Flannel: du outputs a whole ton of info- how to grep it for usefulness? | 02:45 |
| DasEi | pmp6nl: the first 2 are no brainers, portknocking is a session as much as the 3 of them together | 02:45 |
| wylde | jdhfr: well you will already have it installed. All you have to do is run the command in terminal. | 02:45 |
| tonyyarusso | tomswartz07: My preferred method is du -hcs | 02:45 |
| xubuntu | b^j yes I havent run gparted on xubuntu 12.04 it failed cause of my corrupted windows partition that could have had damaged whole drive ? | 02:45 |
| NotJimCarrey | can someone help me with "Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules" when i try to upgrade to 12 | 02:45 |
| escott | pmp6nl, or just forget everything DasEi suggested and disable ssh password login and rely on your authkeys | 02:46 |
| DasEi | hehe ;) | 02:46 |
| cereal__ | I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a laptop and desktop and trying to use the sync feature in the software center. Both systems are one a logged in to the same ubunt one account. when i click file sync between computers i dont see multiple computers. | 02:46 |
| pmp6nl | escott, DasEi ok. I was planning on disabling ssh by password | 02:46 |
| tomswartz07 | tonyyarusso: du -hcs outputs just total fs space? | 02:46 |
| Flannel | tomswartz07: du -h --max-depth=1 | 02:47 |
| pmp6nl | escott, DasEi Is it easy to reeneable this if I need to add someone else as a user with authkeys? | 02:47 |
| Flannel | that'll give you a summary of each of the folders (and not subfolders) in your current dir, so you can try to figure out what's misbehaving. | 02:47 |
| DasEi | pmp6nl: yes, sure | 02:47 |
| escott | pmp6nl, then thats plenty. disabling password takes the "password" size up to 2^4096 everything else is just playing with small coefficients in front of your ascii password complexity | 02:47 |
| pmp6nl | DasEi, ok. Thanks. escott cool. Will do | 02:48 |
| CharlesA | Does anyone know why running "halt" on a Ubuntu 12.04 box only halts the system instead of powering it off as well? | 02:48 |
| tonyyarusso | tomswartz07: you can use it to drill down and find big stuff. For instance, 'du -hcs /*' will tell you that /proc is not your problem, and perhaps that /home or /var is. Then if it's home, 'du -hcs /home/*' will tell you which users to check out, and so on. | 02:48 |
| DasEi | CharlesA: try sudo shutdown -h now | 02:48 |
| CharlesA | DasEi: That works fine as does halt -p | 02:48 |

| b^j | xubuntu: that is odd, not sure i would expect different errors for corruption, like bad superblock. have you tried fscking the linux partition and seeing what it says? | 02:49 |

| PiNinja | So, I'm still trying to click the 'allow' for a flash storage thing. What is weird is it let me do it on a different linux distro (arch linux) on all three major browsers (FF, GC and opera). It isn't letting me do it on here, however.

| tonyyarusso | tomswartz07: nah, but you get the idea. Just ignore anything that's a separate mountpoint. | 02:50 |
| CharlesA | DasEi: There was a bug report on it from 11.10, but I haven't been able to find if the behavior of halt is intended or if it is a bug. | 02:51 |

| _0x783czar | Hello, I have an issue with package authenication on Ubuntu 10.04. Everytime I try to install a new package it tells me that it can't authenticate it. The only way I can get around this is to install from the terminal and tell it to install it anyway. Any idea why this might be happening or how I can fix it? | 03:01 |

| _0x783czar | L3top: of course, give me a second | 03:06 |
| malv1 | anyone here use UEFI? | 03:07 |
| tomswartz07 | malv1: i do | 03:07 |
| mutant | malv1: yeah, what's up? | 03:07 |
| malv1 | tomswartz07: do you use any proprietary drivers? | 03:07 |
| malv1 | ati or nvidia? | 03:07 |
| cereal__ | ubottu: but that is still the same account that is used for the software sync system is it not? | 03:08 |
| tomswartz07 | ati proprietary, why do you ask? | 03:08 |
| malv1 | for some reason my system refuses to post with uefi | 03:08 |

| cleric_preston | Hey guys. I just installed Mint 12 and it's overheating like crazy. I heard that I should change the kernel version since the bug is in it. So how do I install kernal without the overheating bug? | 03:09 |
| tomswartz07 | malv1: what version of ubuntu are you on? i had some issues with early 11.10 and the efi boots | 03:09 |

| wylde | cereal__: at any rate hit up the website and read a bit and/or visit #ubuntuone. | 03:09 |
| cleric_preston | Help. | 03:10 |
| malv1 | looks like I will need to reinstall everything back to non-efi | 03:10 |
| jon__ | i need help with my audio skipping every so often, seems to only be certain programs | 03:10 |
| tomswartz07 | malv1: did you see if grub-efi installed correctly? | 03:10 |
| wylde | !mint | cleric_preston | 03:10 |
| ubottu | cleric_preston: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 03:10 |
| malv1 | yea, it installed. it stops working as soon as I activate proprietary drivers | 03:10 |
| REK_007 | malv1: I have an hybridEFI on my board .. had faced a few problems like you with 10.04 .. the only solution was to reset BIOS and then set up everything again | 03:10 |
| tonyyarusso | cleric_preston: This is an Ubuntu support channel only. | 03:10 |
| cleric_preston | wylde: It's the same issue in Ubuntu too, I just switched to Mint. | 03:10 |
| tomswartz07 | malv1: AH! okay. | 03:10 |
| tomswartz07 | malv1: youre on ATI's drivers, right? | 03:11 |
| escott | malv1, and you do have gpt partition table right? | 03:11 |
| cereal__ | wylde: thanks i understand what ubuntuone is but my issue is with the new sync feature in the software center, and from what i read it uses ubuntuone log in to sync installed applications between computers, and that is what is not working. | 03:11 |
| wylde | cleric_preston: regardless Mint isn't suppoeted here. | 03:11 |
| malv1 | escott: yea | 03:11 |
| cleric_preston | Fine, tell me what to do for ubuntu, how to revert back to older kernel without the overheating bug? | 03:11 |

| wylde | cereal__: ummm no, ubuntu one doesn't sync installed applications. | 03:12 |
| tomswartz07 | malv1: i needed to install the proprietary drivers manually. i had a similar issue | 03:12 |
| _0x783czar | _0x783czar: this error also occurs when I use the graphical client but I do not have an option to proceed anyway | 03:12 |
| cleric_preston | tonyyarusso: In other words, you don't know anything about the bug and Ubuntu and you just fail at life. | 03:12 |

| tomswartz07 | malv1: gave a dead link: sorry! here's a live one: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29 | 03:14 |
| malv1 | tomswartz07: thanks | 03:14 |
| cereal__ | wylde - i am thinking you dont know what that sync does, as it syncs installed applications between computers using the same account.. | 03:14 |
| AVP | what format do Ubuntu work with? | 03:14 |
| chu | AVP: Could you rephrase your question please? | 03:15 |
| cereal__ | wilde: not ubuntuone - im talking in the ubuntu software center. | 03:15 |
| _0x783czar | AVP: what sort of format? | 03:15 |
| wylde | cereal__: no, ubuntu one does not do that. It can sync folders, address book, music etc. It will not sync all your installed applications. I won't argue the point with you. Again, they can help you better with your problem in #ubuntuone. | 03:16 |
| tomswartz07 | tonyyarusso: thanks for your help. Im back up and running. I appreciate it! | 03:16 |

| Gnea | jon__: got a runaway chrome process that's chewing up cpu? | 03:18 |
| malv1 | nimbiotics: the path that Ubuntu detects is wrong | 03:18 |
| Gnea | !printer | nimbiotics | 03:18 |
| ubottu | nimbiotics: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 03:18 |
| malv1 | nimbiotics: make sure you give it the correct IP manually | 03:18 |
| AVP | <_0x783czar> like tar.gz or exe | 03:18 |
| jon__ | Gnea: no, it looks normal, i also rebooted and that did not help | 03:19 |
| tonyyarusso | sherif: By getting a job at Twitter and redoing how their web site works. | 03:19 |
| shadowspell | Hey there is any way to run itunes on ubuntu ? | 03:19 |
| Gnea | AVP: Ubuntu relies on the Debian Package Management System | 03:19 |
| Gnea | shadowspell: no. | 03:19 |
| sherif | tonyyarusso r u kidding | 03:19 |
| nimbiotics | malv1: The IPaddress is right | 03:20 |
| Gnea | jon__: what cpu/mem? | 03:20 |
| sherif | tonyyarusso twitter is always heavy n takes long time to open i need to fix this | 03:20 |
| malv1 | yea | 03:20 |
| AVP | Gnea: oh thank's so how do i download opera browser for Ubuntu? | 03:20 |
| xangua | AVP: go to opera.com and download the deb | 03:20 |
| Gnea | !opera | avp | 03:20 |
| ubottu | avp: Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 03:20 |
| tonyyarusso | sherif: You could block various items that it's trying to load if you really want, but there's nothing to "fix" - the problem is your personal preference, not technical. | 03:21 |
| jon__ | Gnea: chrome's task manager shows shockwave using about 11 cpu and 79k memory | 03:21 |
| Gnea | xangua: It's better to just follow the already-documented directions | 03:21 |
| pareshan | hi | 03:21 |
| AVP | what's the package format? | 03:22 |
| Gnea | AVP: just follow what ubottu said | 03:22 |
| sherif | tonyyarusso u mean i have blocked this site? | 03:22 |
| Gnea | AVP: well, the files have a .deb extension | 03:22 |
| xangua | Gnea: installing the deb does install opera... And also adds the repository if that is what you mean | 03:22 |
| OomElvis | Q: what would be the fastest way to get all files in a directory? | 03:23 |
| OomElvis | cos i have a directory with 43,000 folders | 03:23 |
| rrabit | .... | 03:23 |
| Gnea | xangua: relying on the official documentation is the preferred method in this channel rather than pointing people to go directly to an external website. If the documentation requires it, it will let them know. | 03:23 |
| OomElvis | correction: a count of all directories within a folder | 03:23 |
| OomElvis | i need a count of all directories within a folder | 03:24 |
| AVP | Gnea: oh | 03:24 |
| tonyyarusso | AVP: package format is .deb | 03:24 |
| tonyyarusso | sherif: No, I mean if you want it to load faster you can block ads, pictures, flash, etc. | 03:25 |
| tonyyarusso | OomElvis: `find /your/folder -type d | wc -l` ought to do it. | 03:25 |
| mutlaq | hi, my ubuntu graphics is not working and I can only access the repair window. I have a thumg drive and want to copy important files in it via the repair window but none of the thumb drive is read. What should I do to copy files to the thumb drive? | 03:27 |
| sherif | tonyyarusso no man it takes long time to open not cuz connection slow or something the other sites opens fine but its just twitter that takes long time | 03:28 |
| jon__ | Gnea: any other ideas? | 03:29 |
| OomElvis | tonesfrommars: did try that, but was slow | 03:30 |
| OomElvis | tonesfrommars: dont know if i can find a faster why, apart from having a C program do it maybe | 03:30 |

| sadflapjack | Like I press alt and it comes up, but if, for example I have firefox open and I type new tab, I get nothing | 04:12 |
| andrewb80 | Hey can anyone tell me how to install drivers for my intel m so I can possibly fix my text issue with Ubuntu 12 | 04:12 |

| derekchiang | I'm new to ubuntu and is now trying to connet to PPPOE via wifi | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: Why isn't your router / modem handling the PPP? | 04:14 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U, I'm not sure what you mean | 04:14 |
| sadflapjack | Has anyone else in here had a problem with HUD? | 04:16 |
| sadflapjack | It gives me no results for whatever I type. | 04:16 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U, I'm trying to use PPPOE via wifi | 04:16 |
| derekchiang | which works just fine under Windows 7 | 04:17 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: PPP is a protocal for connecting to DSL (it's also used for other connections, but I'm assuming that's what you're working with). PPPoE is PPP over ethernet. Normally, rather than doing PPPoE, you have the modem (which may or may not be the same piece of hardware containing the wifi router) handle the DSL, and simply communicate to it using standard IP protocol. | 04:17 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U: Thanks, but I can only work via wifi | 04:18 |
| Weaponized | what is up with the floodbots? | 04:18 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: I don't think you understand, I am *not* suggesting that you use ethernet. | 04:18 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: Do you use DSL? | 04:19 |
| drcode | hi all | 04:20 |
| Weaponized | I love you guize. 99 all. Take it easy. | 04:20 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U: yes I use DSL, normally via Wifi | 04:20 |
| Cyberacid | -_- | 04:20 |
| drcode | last day , I have upgrded into ubuntu 12.04 - fresh install | 04:20 |

| derekchiang | Jordan_U: I am not sure what you mean... but I don't use phone line | 04:21 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U: basically my modem emits wifi signals and I can connect to it, and then normally under Win7 I just use the DSL | 04:21 |
| nightrid3r | derekchiang, you mean 3G ?? | 04:21 |
| derekchiang | no no no... | 04:22 |
| nightrid3r | ok | 04:22 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: DSL is a form of internet connection over landline telephone cables. That's what it *is*: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_subscriber_line . | 04:22 |
| derekchiang | I tried to use pppoeconf but to no avail | 04:22 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U: thanks, so I guess my modem uses a telephone line. but it emits signals and normally I just connect to it wirelessly | 04:23 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: OK. So the device which is connected to your phone line is also your wireless router? | 04:24 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U: eh I think so... though I'm not sure what's a wireless router | 04:24 |
| derekchiang | I'm Chinese, so I'm not so familiar with the technical terms... | 04:24 |
| wo0t99 | hello ppl :) | 04:25 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: A wireless router is a device which hosts a wireless network. It's what you're connecting to when you connect to wifi. | 04:25 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U: OK, then I think it is | 04:25 |
| derekchiang | I have done some Google and I have successfully used pppoeconf to connect to internet. however it doesn't work anymore and I don't know why | 04:26 |
| echo0ff_ | hello | 04:26 |
| derekchiang | basically I connected to the wireless network and then I used pppoeconf, and it worked. not anymore | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: Good. Then it's probably easiest to configure it to handle the PPP connection itself. If the router/modem does the PPP itself then you don't need to use PPPoE at all. | 04:27 |
| wo0t99 | why pppoe? gnome network manager will help :) | 04:27 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U: thank you so much, so what exactly should I do? | 04:27 |
| echo0ff_ | I need some help building something, is there anyone willing to put up with me and help me diagnose the issue? | 04:27 |
| echo0ff_ | its called Dolphin-Emu | 04:28 |
| echo0ff_ | and it is a Wii emulator | 04:28 |
| echo0ff_ | the repos are broken and I'm having issues compiling | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: Figure out the ip address of your router and enter it into a browser window. From there you can configure the router to handle the DSL connection itself. | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: One warning though, if you change the configuration of the router but don't configure it successfully you may need to return the router to its previous configuration before you can connect with Windows again. | 04:30 |
| wo0t99 | derekchiang, use ifconfig to check your ip information, and route -n to check your gateway | 04:31 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| derekchiang | wo0t99: thanks, you mean type "ifconfig" into terminal? | 04:31 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: Also, if it would be easier for you there are Chinese support channels for Ubuntu in #ubuntu-cn and #ubuntu-tw. | 04:31 |
| wo0t99 | :) | 04:32 |
| derekchiang | Jordan_U: thanks!! I go to ifconfig but I find I have several ip address | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: Run "route -n". The ip address of your router will be the one listed under "Gateway" which is *not* 0.0.0.0. | 04:33 |

| motherbrain | I am wondering is there any good software for ubuntu that allows you to create a media streaming server ... something that would beable to have people go to my website that I host locally and stream my webcam or live camcorder feed in real time | 04:41 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: Look for settings related to DSL. There should be an area where you can enter the login information for your DSL so that the router can connect, rather than requiring everyone who connects via wifi to give that login information. | 04:41 |
| CrazyGangster | motherbrain: vlc | 04:42 |
| motherbrain | icecast works great for having my own internet radio station but for video is a different story | 04:42 |
| echo0ff_ | well I am using ubuntu and it seems to have preinstalled synaptics touchpad manager automatically | 04:42 |
| echo0ff_ | maybe there are specific settings you need to manuallly tweak | 04:42 |
| rail_z | echo0ff_: I am also. But there is some issues.. | 04:42 |
| motherbrain | I have looked at vlc and never could get it to work | 04:42 |
| Jordan_U | derekchiang: And again, be warned that changing these settings may break what you currently have working with Windows until you change them back. Do you understand that? | 04:42 |

| wolter | can somebody help me roll back my wireless bcm driver? | 04:45 |

| KM0201 | wolter: what do you mean? | 04:47 |
| rail_z | echo0ff_: tnx, anyhow.. | 04:47 |
| echo0ff_ | but i am an old school unix guy, you may want to ask a linux fanatic | 04:47 |
| rail_z | echo0ff_: heh, and where might I find one of those? | 04:47 |
| wolter | KM0201, after my upgrade to 12.04 I started getting problems with my wireless internet, I think reverting the driver to the version I had on 11.10 could fix the problem | 04:47 |
| echo0ff_ | somone on here | 04:47 |
| echo0ff_ | knows the answer | 04:48 |
| wolter | KM0201, the problem is that internet periodically disconnects and reconnects; about every 10 seconds | 04:48 |
| KM0201 | wolter: hmm, i guess the main thing would be to know which driver 11.10 has, vs 12.04 | 04:48 |
| rail_z | echo0ff_: yeah, there is enough people.. | 04:48 |
| echo0ff_ | 12.04 fixed my net adaptors too | 04:48 |
| KM0201 | wolter: which broadcom is it?.. | 04:48 |
| wolter | KM0201, bcm4312 | 04:48 |
| echo0ff_ | i had a bcm 4312 on my acer and 12.4 made it work automatically | 04:49 |
| KM0201 | wolter: according to the broadcom docs, the 4312 will work with either hte STA driver, or the b43 driver... which one are you using? | 04:49 |
| sadflapjack | hey, i've been looking online and still can't find anything about my problem. HUD finds no results when I type things into it. | 04:51 |
| wolter | KM0201, what should I grep for to see if I am using the sta driver? | 04:52 |
| KM0201 | wolter: really not sure. | 04:52 |
| KM0201 | wolter: i never used broadcoms, just vaguely familiar with them.. | 04:52 |
| wolter | KM0201, I would say bcm then because I have bcma and b43 on one line when I grep | 04:52 |
| sadflapjack | Can anyone see when I type? | 04:54 |
| woonix | sadflapjack: yes | 04:54 |
| xiaocai | hi | 04:54 |

| myhero | nightrid3r: then how to make it work on ubuntu 8.04 11.10 and the newer 12.04.....also how is 12.04 incomparison to 8.04 10.04 and 11.10 ? | 05:50 |
| linusasus6 | the update manager said that my system is update so it will show only the 26 of may then? | 05:50 |
| nightrid3r | myhero, 8.04 is no longer supported | 05:51 |
| myhero | ok | 05:51 |
| wjcw | mi3: sure, you could cat each file consecutively and then copy and paste that output to pastebin | 05:51 |
| cvprog | i have a question over a mystery directory; in /media there is an apt directory i didn't make | 05:51 |
| myhero | on other systems....and how is 12.04 incomparison to 10.04 and 11.10 ? | 05:51 |
| mi3 | oo ok | 05:51 |
| cvprog | my question is what is it for | 05:51 |
| cvprog | ? | 05:52 |
| Hebram | cvprog: did you mount a usb device or hard drive? | 05:52 |
| Fyodorovna | linusasus6, that is what I have heard you can force a upgrade from a command, your choice really, make sure your backed up no matter what. | 05:52 |
| myhero | nightrid3r: ???? | 05:52 |
| nightrid3r | myhero, the difference is newer versions of software | 05:52 |
| lbbef | Hi! I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS alongside my windows 7. When i select ubuntu from my grub menu, there isn't the classic ubuntu logo with 5 dots below it, just a purple screen. After a few seconds, it goes to the login screen. Is it nromal? | 05:52 |
| cvprog | Hebram: no | 05:52 |
| mi3 | wjcw, I had no problems with conky when I was using it in natty, now in mate I am facing problems like the one I described above ok wait I will give you the past | 05:52 |

| wjcw | vectorshelve: In Unity, the Gear in the upper right corner -> System Seetings -> Appearance -> the Drop down box with the theme name such as Radiance or Ambiance controls the theme | 05:53 |
| Hebram | cvprog: mount another partition? | 05:53 |
| myhero | nightrid3r: desktop environment or other aspects ? n how to make that datacard work on newer systems ? | 05:53 |
| cvprog | Hebram: and i don't have permition to access it and my other partition is named safe | 05:53 |
| cvprog | not apt | 05:53 |
| woonix | mikeliss: I don't know of any file-mover that will deallocate space from a file as it goes. It sounds technically difficult but not impossible. | 05:53 |

| nightrid3r | myhero, look at the huawei site and see if there are kernel modules for the card | 05:54 |

| antnash | Hey guys. I've been asking this question for the past few days, but still to get an answer. Hopefully someone can help me today! I'm trying to set a cron job for a reboot. Tried 0 6 * * * reboot and 0 6 * * * shutdown -r 5, but it's just not doing it. Any ideas? | 06:14 |
| linuxsage | !sudo | 06:15 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 06:15 |
| crlcan81 | I am having a bug that I've found a similar issue as I found in a forum, except I'm using an board that supports an AMD chipset for processor, if I were to list the line they say to add to fix the bug, could someone tell me if my direction of thought is correct in how to apply the bug fix to my situation? | 06:15 |
| antnash | who was that to, linuxsage? | 06:15 |
| pigeta | hi | 06:16 |
| crlcan81 | Having used Ubuntu since about 8.10 on up, I've noticed since 10.10 and especially 11.04 on up certain linux kernals have a bug with realtek alc 8888 codec I believe it is. | 06:16 |
| pigeta | i have to remake grub | 06:16 |
| wjcw | antnash: ubuntu by default doesn't allow the user to run reboot or shutdown without sudo | 06:16 |
| crlcan81 | I'm using a GA-MA770T-UD3P Revision 1.0 board | 06:17 |
| crlcan81 | The thread is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1426424 | 06:17 |
| paranoidphreak | hi everybody, is it possible for my flash-drive to get infected if it it using ext2 *3 or *4 if i insert it while i insert it into an infected windows machine? meaning if infected windows OS is running, and i insert my flash drive with the mentioned fs, is there any chase of getting the infection on the flash drive? | 06:17 |
| crlcan81 | If I were to replace the intel with AMD in options snd-hda-intel model=generic would that apply to my board, or does it require I keep the intel, even though it's a AMD chipset for the processor. | 06:18 |
| pigeta | i have 2 hd /dev/sda1 ubuntu and /dev/sdb1 windows i changed my sdb becouse was broken,i had reinstalled windows and now following wiki i remake grub | 06:19 |
| nutty42 | if you copy an infected file to the flash drive then yes. You will have problems getting windows to even mount a Ext filesystem though | 06:19 |
| rumpe1 | paranoidphreak, yes but unlikely. Windows probably can't even read the filesystem to begin with. | 06:19 |
| crlcan81 | Not really nutty | 06:19 |
| crlcan81 | ext2fs I believe it's called. | 06:19 |
| anand | paranoidphreak: i think no. because windows does not support ext file system format | 06:19 |
| crlcan81 | again, there's a program for windows users to mount ext filesystems... | 06:19 |
| antnash | wjcw: but wouldn't running crontab as sudo fix that? | 06:19 |
| crlcan81 | ..do I have to repeat myself, there's software that corrects that issue. | 06:19 |
| pigeta | but grub before was installed on mbr | 06:19 |
| paranoidphreak | thanks everyone for your opinions | 06:20 |
| crlcan81 | I've been able to use it to access my Ubuntu filesystems repeatedly, when I was prefering to use it for my desktop OS and was using XP as my windows OS. | 06:20 |
| wjcw | antnash: it should work if you're adding this to root's crontab | 06:20 |
| crlcan81 | and gaming | 06:20 |
| pigeta | to do that i have to type : grub-install -dev/sda or /dev/sdb | 06:20 |
| pigeta | can someone tell to me i'm a little bit confused | 06:21 |

| Danne_ | Hi! I just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04, and when I boot into the desktop, it's completely broken. Mouse is not working, only some keys are working and graphics is messed up, lot's of icons are missing. I can't even access a terminal, so is there a way to boot into terminal rather than desktop? | 06:39 |
| pigeta | no | 06:39 |
| pigeta | is a problem? | 06:39 |
| linuxuz3r | no | 06:39 |
| linuxuz3r | ill look a link for you so you can install it | 06:40 |
| linuxuz3r | it == grub | 06:40 |
| Jordan_U | Danne_: Yes. Hold shift during boot and select the recovery mode entry. | 06:40 |
| Danne_ | I downloaded the installation disk and booted it, but found no "recovery mode"-option | 06:40 |
| kx | Danne_: welcome to the ubuntu experience | 06:40 |
| Danne_ | hehe, thanks, ill try it! :) | 06:40 |

| linuxuz3r | http://askubuntu.com/questions/83771/recovering-grub-after-installing-windows-7 pigeta | 06:41 |
| kx | Danne_: thats going to happen each time you upgrade so get used to it. but anyway if you're using nvidia binary drivers and hardware before 8 series, downgrading your driver to 295.33 might help | 06:41 |

| Danne_ | can i upgrade (not reinstall) installation from livecd? | 06:43 |
| Danne_ | kx: last dist-upgrade went terriffic | 06:43 |
| orated | Hello! I get this error when I try to ssh into remote system in verbose mode - http://paste.ubuntu.com/956763/ . Both the systems have openssh-server with openssh-client package installed. What is the meaning of the error and how can I fix it? | 06:44 |
| linuxuz3r | pigeta, do that link i gave you | 06:44 |
| Danne_ | kx: also, i'm only using an intel integrated graphics card | 06:44 |
| kx | Danne_: you can chroot into your disk installation and apt-get updates with an intern connection. very likely if you point apt-get to the cdrom from you can dist-upgrade from there. either option would take some work | 06:44 |
| bluebk | does any one experienced issue when installing nvidia driver after update to 12.04? | 06:44 |
| kx | Danne_: thats what they all say | 06:44 |
| kx | bluebk: of course. it's ubuntu after all. downgrade to 295.33 drivers | 06:45 |
| bluebk | compiz crashes after the installation of nvidia driver and the screen turn black after logging in | 06:46 |
| kx | bluebk: can you be more specific on the install problem though? | 06:46 |
| kx | yeah. downgrade probably what youre looking for | 06:46 |
| bluebk | i havent download the nvidia driver though | 06:47 |
| kx | the latest driver has known stability problems on a lot of hardware but ubuntu provides them as stable anyway | 06:47 |
| robotti^_ | new version of ubuntu does not work very well yet | 06:47 |
| robotti^_ | they released it too early, half-baked | 06:47 |
| woonix | orated: Do you have physical access to the server? | 06:47 |
| Danne_ | kx: thanks for the tips, how would i chroot into my system using livecd? | 06:48 |
| sherif | whenever i log into ubuntu he asks me to unlock some application that need keyring wut is that? | 06:48 |
| orated | woonix: Not at the moment | 06:49 |
| kx | Danne_: first you mount it then chroot /mount/location should be basically all you need. but first copy your /etc/resolv.conf to the /mount/location/etc/resolv.conf so your internet works. i think that should be basically it | 06:49 |
| bluebk | should i update the nividia that said version current or the one that said post release update ? | 06:49 |
| woonix | orated: Did you just install the server OS recently? have you ever been able to get in? | 06:49 |
| kx | bluebk: what version is the post release update | 06:50 |
| Jordan_U | Danne_: Were you not able to boot into recovery mode as I explained? | 06:50 |
| orated | woonix: No | 06:50 |
| Danne_ | Jordan_U: yeah, but it was as broken as the normal boot. couldn't access anything | 06:50 |
| woonix | orated: I asked two questions and got one answer. | 06:52 |
| Danne_ | My gut says that i rebooted before the upgrade where completely ready. I thought it was early for the upgrade to ask me to reboot, but didn't think more about it | 06:53 |
| kx | bluebk: honestly you should probably just install the driver manually. ubuntu's packages are junk. then when ubuntu's version gets updated to a working version 10 years from now, manually uninstall the driver, then reinstall the ubuntu package version | 06:53 |
| mint_ | does GRUB support UEFI | 06:53 |
| Jordan_U | mint_: Yes. You'll need to install the grub-efi-amd64 package though. | 06:54 |
| bluebk | ok | 06:54 |
| mint_ | i keep getting this error Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed | 06:54 |

| APoulos | is there nickserv on here? | 06:57 |
| ANub | bluebk: Primavera | 06:57 |
| Jordan_U | Danne_: In your chroot you'll probably also want to mount /dev/ /proc/ /sys/ and /dev/pts/. If you mounted your Ubuntu partition to /mnt/ the the commands to do that would be: for dir in /dev/ /dev/pts/ /proc/ /sys/; do sudo mount --bind $dir /mnt/$dir; done | 06:57 |

| Danne_ | Jordan_U: thanks for the suggestion, though i actually managed to get to a terminal by choosing an older linux-kernel in grub, and from there i could jump to another tty | 07:04 |
| Danne_ | Jordan_U: there sudo apt-get upgrade complained about libjpeg8 (or something like that), so I reinstalled that package, and now the package manager is doing a whole bunch of stuff :P | 07:04 |
| Jordan_U | Danne_: To ensure that the upgrade completed run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" then "sudo apt-get -f install". | 07:04 |
| Jordan_U | Danne_: :) Hopefully that will sort things out then. | 07:05 |
| anand | hello i need some help with connecting to wif if network using static ip | 07:06 |
| killer | hi ............where do i get unity source code | 07:06 |
| Danne_ | Jordan_U: Yup :) by just issuing "apt-get install libjpeg8", it seems to continue the whole dist-upgrade process. Is this a bug I should file somewhere? Seems like libjpeg8 broke the upgrade-process | 07:07 |
| Jordan_U | killer: apt-get source unity | 07:07 |
| Jordan_U | Danne_: Yes, please file a bug report. Especially since it sounds like the upgrade tool didn't even warn you that something had gone wrong. | 07:07 |
| killer | Jordan_U and where will be source code of unity be saved | 07:07 |
| Jordan_U | killer: In the current directory. | 07:08 |

| soulseekah | don't | 07:38 |
| auronandace | belak: theres is also ccsm, but its not recommended in 12.04, might break something if you change certain settings | 07:38 |
| auronandace | !ccsm | belak | 07:38 |
| ubottu | belak: 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 | 07:38 |
| belak | auronandace: it's also the only way to change some things, short of gconf-editor... I've been using ccsm already | 07:38 |

| kazuni | mystblade9, have you tried using non-accelerated drivers? | 07:46 |
| mystblade9 | kazuni: You mean nouvou? | 07:46 |
| kazuni | or even plain vesa | 07:47 |
| belak | jschall: ah, if you mean the one linked to in there, then ignore my last comment | 07:47 |
| mystblade9 | I guess I could switch back to nouvou | 07:47 |
| jschall | belak: i do. | 07:47 |
| kazuni | try that - it fixed my 6800GT back then. | 07:47 |
| belak | mystblade9: what do you need 3d acceleration for? | 07:47 |
| mystblade9 | belak: games | 07:47 |
| kazuni | but of course, later on I did switch back to accelerated graphics drivers | 07:47 |

| jschall | belak: yeah, that's basically just offensive. | 07:49 |
| killer | anybody knows of youtube screenlet | 07:50 |
| jschall | belak: it's not nvidia's fault, flash sends the colors in the wrong order, i'm reading the patch, it literally just swaps the data around | 07:51 |
| root_ | railsraider: passenger-install-apache2-module and passenger-install-nginx-module. | 07:51 |
| root_ | QUIT | 07:52 |
| railsraider | root_: i did that but it point the load path to the gem under rvm | 07:52 |
| railsraider | should the passenger gem be installed on root and not on the rvm? | 07:52 |
| jschall | and it's been like this for months now, long known issue. no fix from adobe. | 07:52 |
| jschall | and given that they've released the last version of flash for linux, i doubt they'll ever fix it | 07:53 |
| mystblade9 | jschall: I have the impression Adobe has, somehow, done this on purpose. | 07:53 |
| mystblade9 | jschall: Albeit sneakily | 07:53 |
| belak | railsraider: is it a local install or global install of rvm? | 07:54 |
| jschall | mystblade9: no, flash works fine in all cases other than software decoding and vdpau output | 07:54 |
| jschall | mystblade9: why would you say they did it on purpose? | 07:54 |
| railsraider | belak: its on a server, what do you mean local? | 07:54 |
| mystblade9 | kazuni: Do you mean trying to switch back to nouvou? | 07:54 |
| belak | jschall: it's a flash issue with nvidia cards then... | 07:54 |
| belak | railsraider: it's either installed in ~/.rvm or /usr/local/rvm | 07:54 |
| railsraider | ah ~/.rvm | 07:55 |
| mystblade9 | jschall: Because, it's the last version of Flash for linux, and THAT version of all versions has a bug that makes Xorg drastically unstable and Flash videos blue. | 07:55 |
| belak | Ok, either way passenger should be installed under rvm, NOT root | 07:55 |
| mystblade9 | jschall: It makes me suspect something. | 07:55 |
| mystblade9 | jschall: Of course, only for nVidia cards, but still. | 07:55 |
| jschall | belak: but it's a problem on adobe's end, which means it's "pass the buck and don't fix the stupid fing problem" time on nvidia's part, and adobe's never going to fix it, which means the users are screwed | 07:55 |
| belak | jschall: so, call adobe and complain. Heh. | 07:56 |

| neattoast | shani0610: At the login screen, change the session to unity 2d | 08:03 |
| swook | linuxuz3r: at some point after adding the monto my install command, I reach libxdamage1:i386 | 08:03 |
| swook | libxdamage1:i386 : Breaks: libxdamage1 | 08:03 |
| swook | gimp isn't installable either | 08:03 |
| swook | I was verily annoyed by Precise | 08:03 |
| neattoast | shani0610: or you can launch it from a command line with the command unity-2d --replace | 08:03 |
| Twinlator | Pouncer, but it's different from restart | 08:03 |
| shani0610 | but I dont have it installed i guess, coz I dont see any such option | 08:04 |
| shani0610 | but I will look again | 08:04 |
| Pouncer | Twinlator: yea its just a basic restart of the gui | 08:04 |
| neattoast | shani0610: then install with apt-get. sudo apt-get install unity-2d | 08:04 |
| Twinlator | in ubuntu 11.10, i can type "restart" in dash home, but in 12.04, there is nothing. | 08:05 |
| mystblade9 | Alright, i'm now on Nouvou. | 08:05 |
| mystblade9 | And it's actually running Minecraft pretty well | 08:05 |
| mystblade9 | Didn't know Nouvou supported 3D? :o | 08:05 |
| mystblade9 | I have the idea everything's faster, too | 08:06 |
| Pouncer | Twinlator: in 12.04 im not sure i just started messing with it 2 days ago | 08:06 |
| auronandace | mystblade9: that is what nouveau is for (3d) | 08:06 |
| mystblade9 | auronandace: I thought it only supported 2D | 08:06 |
| Twinlator | Ok , that's all right! | 08:07 |
| auronandace | mystblade9: thats nv | 08:07 |
| Pouncer | Twinlator: try hitting the superkey and type restart in there and see what comes up | 08:07 |
| linuxuz3r | swook, what is libxdamage1 for? | 08:07 |
| mystblade9 | Not only that, Minecraft seemed to take up a lot less resources and make my PC lag a lot less. I guess the propietary nVidia drivers atm are crappy? | 08:08 |
| Twinlator | Pouncer, I will try. | 08:08 |
| gaelfx | mystblade9: atm? generally speaking, they're not in the greatest of software | 08:08 |
| mystblade9 | gaelfx: It used to work fine for me. | 08:08 |
| auronandace | mystblade9: the nvidia drivers are pretty good, nouveau needs to catch up a little on power management (more likely to overheat) | 08:09 |
| mystblade9 | gaelfx: Well, as far as "fine" goes in my experience with video drivers for Linux.. I'm so used to instability that I don't even notice small instabilities anymore xD | 08:09 |
| gaelfx | mystblade9: took em about 2 years to get audio over hdmi to work, finally | 08:09 |
| linuxuz3r | swook, are you still there | 08:09 |
| never2far | how can i edit what info will be generated in resolv.conf ater reboot ? | 08:10 |
| neattoast | shani0610: Are you still there? | 08:10 |

| auronandace | shani0610: sorry misread what you wrote | 08:16 |

| auronandace | !dist-upgrade | neattoast | 08:18 |
| ubottu | neattoast: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 08:18 |

| shani0610 | sorry modem hanged, I have unity installed, so do I have to kinda remove it to work the other? | 08:21 |
| shani0610 | I mean 2d? | 08:21 |
| neattoast | shani0610: No, they can both be installed, it seems you have a strange system. Would you be willing to upgrade to 11.10? | 08:21 |
| shani0610 | yep in near future to 12.04 | 08:22 |
| neattoast | shani0610: Then upgrade to 11.10, which comes with unity-2d. | 08:22 |
| Imre | I need some help with vssftp. I have a server set up and running but the client just can't connect. chroot_local_user is enable on the serve. BUT if I disable that command, the client CAN join. Ofcourse that won't do, because security. Have you got any idea? | 08:22 |
| Imre | vsftpd | 08:23 |
| neattoast | If you have a fresh install you can either upgrade with apt-get upgrade or reinstall (recommended_ | 08:23 |
| shani0610 | So if I get 12.04 I wont get 2d? | 08:23 |
| neattoast | shani0610: If you get 12.04 you get unity 2d. | 08:23 |
| Waraudon | I'm having a weird issue with 12.04 Server - squid3 fails to start at boot, dmesg shows "init: squid3 main process (1236) killed by ABRT signal" | 08:23 |

| shadykhan | is there a way to make backscape go back in firefox? | 08:24 |
| neattoast | shani0610: Good luck! | 08:24 |

| neattoast | shadykhan: check about:config | 08:24 |
| neattoast | Twinlator: Agreed. | 08:24 |
| shani0610 | just a thought, unity needs more latest pkgs than 2d I guess? | 08:25 |
| neattoast | shani0610: unity uses a 3d redering engine whereas 2d doesn't, so yes. | 08:25 |
| shani0610 | then it should've worked already, strange | 08:26 |

| DarwinSurvivor | shredding: shredding depending what you are using them for, dia or libreoffice draw may work for you | 08:58 |
| shredding | And: I'm on holiday right now and have only one shot left because I'm tethering internet via an capped Android Flatrate | 08:59 |
| shredding | :) | 08:59 |
| gaelfx | BumbleB: well, then you would be best off writing pinyin followed by numbers for tones and writing a script to replace the characters properly | 08:59 |
| matthewL | :) | 08:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | orated_: a tarball is like a zip file (without the compression) and is a *type* of source archive | 08:59 |
| gaelfx | BumbleB: are you trying to make worksheets or something? | 08:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | orated_: a .tar.gz is a tarball that has been subjected to gzip compression | 08:59 |
| cristian_c | neattoast, both about:plugins and about:PLUGINS are empty :( | 08:59 |
| neattoast | !source | 08:59 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 08:59 |
| neattoast | !tarball | 08:59 |
| ubottu | Files with ".tar.gz", ".tar.bz2" or ".tgz" extensions are compressed archive formats, similar to ZIP files. See !tar for extracting them. Some of these files contain programs in source code form; see !compile for getting them to run. | 08:59 |
| neattoast | cristian_c: Then install the plugins with firefox or chrome, and then open up midori. | 09:00 |
| neattoast | should work. | 09:00 |
| rumpe1 | BumbleB, i use ibus for that (i think) | 09:00 |
| MrStark | yo | 09:00 |
| shredding | DarwinSurvivor: It looks like libreoffice draw is perfect | 09:00 |
| shredding | And already installed :) | 09:00 |
| BumbleB | I do it in various circumstances, right now I'm writing code and using a conversion like you mentioned is a bit of a pain. | 09:00 |
| shredding | Can someone say a word about Kivio? | 09:00 |
| rumpe1 | BumbleB, ibus or scim... don't know for sure | 09:01 |
| gaelfx | shredding: Kivio is | 09:01 |
| neattoast | !kivio | shredding | 09:01 |
| matthewL | ubottu: fascinating!! | 09:01 |
| MrStark | Anyone installed on laptop with no issues? | 09:01 |
| gaelfx | matthewL: ubottu is a bot | 09:01 |
| BumbleB | Scim has a method for it, was just hoping that I wouldn't have to change over from ibus. | 09:01 |
| shredding | Why !kivio? | 09:01 |
| neattoast | !info kivio | shredding | 09:01 |
| ubottu | shredding: kivio (source: calligra): Transitional Package for Calligra Flow. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:2.4.0-0ubuntu2 (precise), package size 8 kB, installed size 66 kB | 09:01 |
| phpN00b_ | DarwinSurvivor, thanks for the help. I think I will replace Ubuntu with Windows with virus scanner and encryption. | 09:01 |
| hoshi411 | how can I get a list of installed packages off of an unbootable system? | 09:01 |
| cristian_c | neattoast, firefox and chrome are not installed :( | 09:01 |
| shredding | Because it's KDE? | 09:01 |
| orated_ | DarwinSurvivor: neattoast: Yes, I was wondering why in this question - http://askubuntu.com/questions/25961/how-to-install-a-tar-gz-file#comment28683_25972 - a difference between a source archive and tarball is stressed | 09:01 |
| hoshi411 | i would like to recreate the system but it is unbootabkle | 09:02 |
| gaelfx | hoshi411: what happens when you try to boot? | 09:02 |
| hoshi411 | so ... it would be nice if I could get a list of packages from it | 09:02 |
| dr--willis | hoshi411: boot live cd and chroot in, then see the !clone factoid | 09:02 |
| shredding | I'm thinking about dia, kivio and libreoffice draw | 09:02 |
| neattoast | cristian_c: Then install moonlight from the command line. (apt-get install moonlight) (or something liek that) | 09:02 |
| neattoast | *like | 09:02 |
| hoshi411 | gaelfx: I get the error "boot error" before grub even starts | 09:02 |
| dr--willis | hoshi411: if you cant boot a live cd.. you got deeper issues | 09:03 |
| hoshi411 | dr--willis: thanks I will look into clone factoid | 09:03 |
| matthewL | gaelfx: oops | 09:03 |
| gaelfx | hoshi411: well, you could try to boot from a livecd/usb, but if the HDD is totally useless, you won't get anything | 09:03 |
| lasha | hello guys | 09:03 |
| hoshi411 | dr--willis: the system that will not boot IS A LIVE cd | 09:03 |
| lasha | what do I have to do in order to make cube work in xubuntu ? | 09:03 |
| cristian_c | neattoast, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=moonlight&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all | 09:04 |
| shredding | ubottu: I do not really get your last comment ... I'm on 12.04 | 09:04 |
| ubottu | shredding: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:04 |
| dr--willis | hoshi411: how did yiu install stuff on a live cd? somthings not clear here... | 09:04 |
| lasha | its gnome 2ish so it should be easier hopefully | 09:04 |
| hoshi411 | dr--willis: it is a persistent live usb stick that Id been making for a friend and somehow toasted it | 09:04 |
| neattoast | lasha: install ccsm | 09:04 |

| neattoast | cristian_c: get moonlight-tools | 09:05 |
| * gaelfx facepalms | 09:05 | |
| dr--willis | hoshi411: make a 2nd usb- flash with perisstnat save and copy the casper-rw over to it.. it should then use the changes. you can mount the casper-rw file also | 09:05 |
| neattoast | the deps should install automatically | 09:05 |
| gaelfx | dr--willis: that was pretty hilarious | 09:05 |
| abdo | can any1 advice me how to termminal commands | 09:05 |
| shredding | nettoast: why wouldn't you recommend kivio or dia? | 09:05 |
| cristian_c | ok | 09:05 |
| dr--willis | !bash | adbo | 09:05 |

| abdo | im new user and i want to benfite from that commands | 09:06 |
| hoshi411 | dr--willis: I was about to do that but ... im afraid that the casper-rw was the problem ... something i installed.. | 09:06 |
| hoshi411 | but I would like to simply get a list of the packages that I had installed on the old system | 09:06 |
| hoshi411 | dr--willis: ^ | 09:06 |

| DarwinSurvivor | phpN00b_: just out of curiosity, what application is it that you need windows for (we are always curious as to what apps linux is lacking) | 09:08 |
| neattoast | :) | 09:08 |

| bluebk | yes | 09:10 |
| pratz | the installer gave the error that - "Internal Error" and installation stoped | 09:10 |
| neattoast | Good night, #ubuntu | 09:10 |
| gaelfx | Good night | 09:10 |

| gaelfx | pratz: so I assume you can get into a live session, where does the install fail? | 09:12 |
| pratz | gaelfx: installer say "Internal Error" | 09:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | JensenDan: sounds like a problem on the windows side, try the ##windows channel | 09:12 |
| gaelfx | pratz: during which step? | 09:13 |
| pratz | gaelfx: when we select the country for timezone i guess, Installer - "Where are you from" or something like that | 09:13 |
| dr--willis | window trouble shooting step 1 - turn off windows firewall. ;) | 09:13 |
| faryshta | DarwinSurvivor, I followed the tsocks part as its written and still get the same errors. I think my problem is the tsocks.conf file. | 09:13 |

| dr--willis | kobiluruz: at the very top in the panel, unless thts the actual problem | 09:20 |
| dr--willis | kobiluruz: they should appear when you hover the mouse up top | 09:21 |
| pratz | gaelfx: i first though that my hard disk is corrupt, so i installed debain 6 and it was installed without any problem | 09:21 |
| paulus68 | kobiluruz: then you go to the view menu and at the bottom you have the several option to choose from | 09:21 |
| pratz | gaelfx: do you think the iso image was not proper ? | 09:21 |

| kobiluruz | thanks. | 09:22 |
| dr--willis | kknown issue with the globelmenus.. easy to overlook them.;) | 09:22 |
| dr--willis | i think there was some tweak/suggetion to make the menu itemsshow when an app first launches to remind the user they exist.. | 09:23 |
| kobiluruz | that would be good for noobs like me :p | 09:23 |
| faryshta | DarwinSurvivor, any ideas? | 09:23 |
| dr--willis | kobiluruz: if using 12.04 the HUD also lets you find menu items quickly; hit the alt key and start typing.. ie: list would show the list menu item. (i think) | 09:24 |
| kobiluruz | ah nice.thanks for the tip | 09:24 |

| oCean | ZOmBIENiNGA: again, XFCE looks a LOT like gnome2 | 09:38 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | fork ? | 09:39 |
| * auronandace finds it amazing that people don't realise gnome2 is abandoned | 09:39 | |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | sounds good | 09:39 |
| minimec | diverdude: Still... tell me what's written there | 09:39 |
| diverdude | AMD Athlon(tm) Neo X2 Dual Core Processor L325 | 09:39 |
| KM0201 | the-erm: the problem with it is, it wouldn't surprise me if in 3-4mo, it is no longer supported or updated.. thats what happens with small projects like that. | 09:39 |
| myhero | whats the diff between running live session from usb and dvd ? and which is better ? | 09:39 |
| the-erm | Then run xfce4. | 09:39 |
| diverdude | minimec: and memore 1.7 GB | 09:39 |
| diverdude | memory | 09:40 |
| minimec | diverdude: Ok. That should be 64bit capable. Let me verfy that to be sure. | 09:40 |
| aexa | hello | 09:40 |
| the-erm | It's a pretty decent windows manager. | 09:40 |
| KM0201 | the-erm: thus the suggestions he received | 09:40 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | huh so now i forced to use Windows | 09:40 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | my Bambo pen works the best with MyPaint | 09:40 |
| oCean | ZOmBIENiNGA: this channel is not the place to rant | 09:40 |
| hoshi411 | Fyodorovna: wait a second.... that command actually returned nothing O_o | 09:40 |
| * KM0201 sighs | 09:40 | |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | very well | 09:40 |
| myhero | whats the diff between running live session from usb and dvd ? and which is better ? | 09:40 |
| auronandace | ZOmBIENiNGA: you honestly can't use xfce? | 09:40 |
| oCean | ZOmBIENiNGA: choose anything you like | 09:40 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | i just hate to format my hard drive | 09:41 |
| KM0201 | myhero: my personal opinion, the USB might be *slightly* faster.. but not enough to really get in a twist about. | 09:41 |
| Fyodorovna | hoshi411, copy and paste dpkg --get-selections > installed-software | 09:41 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | any way i will give xfce a try | 09:41 |
| minimec | diverdude: OK. You can go for 64bit, as I expected... | 09:41 |
| xerent | No idea about this problem? http://xerent.lokalen.org/incoming/ubuntuinstall.jpg | 09:41 |
| hoshi411 | Fyodorovna: I did but nothing was returned | 09:41 |
| myhero | km0201: yeah i also think usb is faster but apart frm that any other change ? | 09:42 |
| the-erm | It's ok to feel the way you feel. I know how you feel I was happy with KDE3 ran it for years, then they started KDE4 moved to Gnome2, now Unity, and Gnome3. So I use xfce4. | 09:42 |
| paulus68 | kobiluruz: then you go to the view menu and at the bottom you have the several option to choose from | 09:42 |
| diverdude | minimec: great, thx :) | 09:42 |
| paulus68 | I am running server 12.04 in VM and for some reason it's not bringing up the 2nd nic automaticly what do I do wrong? | 09:42 |
| hoshi411 | Fyodorovna: but if I type 'dpkg --get-selections ' alone, i actually do get a list | 09:42 |
| shadykhan | why isnt my terminal showing up in unity launcher? | 09:42 |
| Fyodorovna | hoshi411, did you look in home for a package installed-software | 09:42 |
| KM0201 | myhero: not that i've ever noticed... i've done a lot of installs from both.. they're essentially identical to me | 09:42 |
| hoshi411 | Fyodorovna: I see... that's what that carrot was there for > :p | 09:42 |
| hoshi411 | thank you | 09:43 |
| KM0201 | xerent: that picture is horrible, what is the problem? | 09:43 |
| minimec | diverdude: Here is some datasheet about your CPU http://www.google.ch/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=amd%20athlon(tm)%20neo%20x2%20dual%20core%20processor%20l325%2064bit&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CEYQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amd.com%2Fpl%2FDocuments%2F47413A_Dual_Core_BGA_brief_PDF.pdf&ei=EV6eT465CIySOrqT3PsB&usg=AFQjCNHviURQwIA2etyS2OuooULrlmyP7g&cad=rja | 09:43 |
| xerent | KM0201: the window system seems all jumbled | 09:43 |
| myhero | km0201: i meant not install but runnng live session coz in it only one will notice speed ? | 09:43 |
| auronandace | myhero: also, you can write to the usb | 09:44 |
| KM0201 | probably something to do w/ your graphicschipset.... what is it? | 09:44 |
| myhero | uronandace: yea rght | 09:44 |
| KM0201 | myhero: then you'll want to use USB, as you can set up a persistent setup, and save changes | 09:44 |
| myhero | km0201: yea | 09:44 |
| KM0201 | seems kinda silly to "always" use a live cd/usb though | 09:44 |
| xerent | Intel Atom Z5xx / SCH US15W --nothing fancy | 09:44 |
| hoshi411 | Fyodorovna: is there anyway to run this list into aptitude and get it to install all this on another sysstem? possibly? | 09:44 |
| hoshi411 | or would I need to format it | 09:45 |
| hardy89_ | Unable to hear sound via Inbuilt Speakers !!!!!! | 09:45 |
| hoshi411 | taking out all the line breaks etc | 09:45 |
| KM0201 | myhero: is that some sort of tablet? | 09:45 |
| pratz | gaelfx: hey dude any idea why the installer is giving the error ? | 09:45 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | hi, I would like to delete/remove/disable Unity's top bar/panel (I want to keep the launcher at the left and run gnome-panel with bottom classic panel). I've done a lot of investigation on Google but haven't found the solution. Could you help me please? | 09:45 |
| myhero | km0201: yea it is kind of silly.....coz every change made is lost everytime its booted..!!!\ | 09:45 |
| KM0201 | myhero: so why noot install? | 09:45 |
| the-erm | hardy89_: have you installed pavucontrol? or perhaps the mixer? | 09:46 |
| z3bra | Hi all ! How can I update my icon pack WITHOUT logout please ? | 09:46 |
| hardy89_ | the-erm : wat is it ??? Have No idea. | 09:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !sound | hardy89_ | 09:46 |
| ubottu | hardy89_: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 09:46 |
| myhero | no its laptop.....thing is my windows crashed so i took out hdd for recovery so now a days m going for live session linux...!! | 09:46 |
| the-erm | hardy89_: it's pulse-audio's controller. | 09:47 |
| minimec | Gosset_Inofensiu: Best way is probably to start a 'gnome classic' session and use the unity2d-launcher in combination with the gnome-panel. | 09:47 |
| KM0201 | hardy89_: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 09:47 |
| hardy89_ | km0201 : 12.04 LTS | 09:47 |
| the-erm | Gosset_Inofensiu: install xfce4, it'll be easier to configure that way. | 09:47 |
| hardy89_ | Hello, I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 LTS !!! Now i m unable to here sound. While turning ON my laptop I do here Ubuntu Theme Music but I m not able hear any sound while playing Songs or Videos. I do here sound when I connect external Speakers. Whenever I connect Speakers, i have to go to Sound Setting & Have to select OUTPUT as "Headphones" then only the sound is audible in speakers as well as my Inbuilt Laptop speakers. I | 09:47 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | minimec, thanks | 09:47 |
| myhero | once i recover data then i'll install linux not windows this time..!! | 09:47 |
| hardy89_ | the-erm: how to install it ? | 09:48 |
| minimec | Gosset_Inofensiu: There are even people using the launcher with gnome shell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gnuAkXW5Rs | 09:48 |
| xerent | is there some way to start the ubuntu installer in "safe mode"? | 09:48 |
| KM0201 | hardy89_: then yeah, i would install pavucontrol and try tweaking the settings sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 09:48 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | wow thanks minimec again | 09:48 |
| the-erm | hardy89_: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 09:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | xerent: please define "safe mode" | 09:48 |
| KM0201 | the-erm: it's probably something simple | 09:48 |
| hardy89_ | km0201 : Let me try intalling it. | 09:48 |
| myhero | km0201: how is 12.04 ?\ | 09:48 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | but minimec, the launcher in gnome shell has HUD ? | 09:48 |
| hardy89_ | the-erm: thx 4 suggestion | 09:49 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | lol i can't ever get packages from Software center cuz i out dated | 09:49 |
| ogra_ | xerent, you can use the alternate image, that will install in text mode | 09:49 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | Ubuntu is piss me off | 09:49 |
| xerent | ogra_: that sounds reasonable | 09:49 |
| KM0201 | myhero: honestly, as a long time hater of Unity... i'm really impressed, i might actually stick w/ it rather than going back to lxde | 09:49 |
| auronandace | ZOmBIENiNGA: then use a supported release | 09:49 |
| KM0201 | ZOmBIENiNGA: do you have a support question? you've been told several times you are using an unsupported release, upgrade | 09:49 |
| myhero | km0201: sounds great | 09:49 |
| auronandace | ZOmBIENiNGA: the support timescale has always been clear | 09:49 |
| minimec | Gosset_Inofensiu: I don't know how HUD is integrated in the session. I have no idea ;) | 09:49 |
| auronandace | !release | ZOmBIENiNGA | 09:49 |
| ubottu | ZOmBIENiNGA: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 09:49 |
| myhero | i'll definately give it a try | 09:49 |
| ogra_ | xerent, though if the desktop image has issues with graphics for you, the final install (even when coming from the alternate image) might too | 09:49 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | well i'll try it thanks | 09:49 |
| ikonia | LinuxMonkey: that's not how twinview works | 09:50 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | is there a disctro that give allways a support ? | 09:50 |
| z3bra | Can someone help me to apply my icon theme without logout please ? | 09:50 |
| oCean | ZOmBIENiNGA: please take your rants/discussion elsewhere | 09:50 |
| auronandace | ZOmBIENiNGA: use a rolling release distro and stay up to date | 09:50 |
| myhero | km0201: how to backup install packages so as to use them afterwards in newer live session or install on other machine ? | 09:50 |
| xerent | ogra_: init complains about EDID checksums, so I can try to reconfigure xorg.conf with noedid options, but I need an installation for that | 09:50 |
| paulus68 | I am running server 12.04 in VM and for some reason it's not bringing up the 2nd nic automaticly what do I do wrong? | 09:50 |
| z3bra | ZOmBIENiNGA: Archlinux | 09:51 |
| ikonia | LinuxMonkey: sorry, my typo | 09:51 |
| KM0201 | myhero: to my knowledge, there is no way to do that on a live cd, it would be a pain | 09:51 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | Archlinux ? | 09:51 |
| === recon69_lap is now known as recon_lap | ||
| ogra_ | xerent, ah, yeah then alternate should help | 09:51 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | LTS ? | 09:51 |
| z3bra | ZOmBIENiNGA: It's a rolling release ditro | 09:51 |
| oCean | ZOmBIENiNGA: LTS is supported for 5 years | 09:51 |
| KM0201 | ZOmBIENiNGA: if it's any consolation, 12.04 has mypaint 1.0.1, and it is LTS (supported for 5yrs) | 09:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZOmBIENiNGA: no distribution is going to give you support if you refuse to upgrade | 09:51 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | 5 years ??? | 09:51 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | nice | 09:51 |
| myhero | km0201: then everytime i'll have to install packages n that wil be wastage of bandwidth | 09:52 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | no one told me that | 09:52 |
| nlici | Hi Friends !i am facing a very rare problem .I upgrade the ubuntu to 12 ls and now i can not able to print nothing through cable connection but i can do it through the wireless . When i am connecting the cabe it seems that the date is transferring but it stopped by the computer i changed 3 different printers and both i face the same problem . Please advice i need your helps because i am trying to get help for 2 days no answer | 09:52 |
| z3bra | ZOmBIENiNGA: That's the principle of LTS release ;) | 09:52 |
| KM0201 | myhero: well i don't know what more you expect, a live install, is a live install... thats what its designed to do (clear changes when you reboot) | 09:52 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | i'm downloading Xubuntu 12.04 | 09:52 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | i will see how its well work to me | 09:52 |
| the-erm | myhero: you can use a package like apt-catcher-ng to cache the packages. It's basically a proxy server. | 09:52 |
| Kriss3d | so far i like 12.04. once the unity is removed. | 09:53 |
| KM0201 | the-erm: that would be a PITA though. | 09:53 |
| myhero | km0201: ok...then whats the general ordnary method to backup installed packages...will try that only..!!! | 09:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nlici: you have not posted any details of your issue. what printer makes/models, what "wired" (usb or ethernet), what wireless (wifi or bluetooth), etc | 09:53 |
| z3bra | Is gnome 3 iintegrated by default to precise p ? | 09:53 |
| The_BROS | How to add user group of Virtualbox in 12.04? | 09:53 |
| recon_lap | ZOmBIENiNGA: xubuntu was the one i choose instead of unity, still has configurable desktop | 09:53 |
| the-erm | KM0201: apt-catcher? or gentoo/arch? | 09:53 |
| Lace57 | http://opensource.com/life/12/4/liberated-pixel-cup-proving-potential-free-culture-and-free-software-game-development | 09:53 |
| KM0201 | myhero: you can try what the-erm suggested, but thats gonna be a pain, i'm not sure what on earth you're trying to do, but you're making it harder oon yourself. | 09:53 |
| auronandace | Kriss3d: i've forced myself to use unity in 12.04, it isn't as bad as i thought it would be | 09:53 |
| KM0201 | well, both..lol the-erm | 09:53 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | www.virtualbox.org have been fall >_> | 09:54 |
| KM0201 | auronandace: same.. i've actually come to kind of like it the last couple of days... and i was kicking and screaming when gnome 2.dx got the boot | 09:54 |
| KM0201 | ZOmBIENiNGA: it's been down a few days.. | 09:54 |
| z3bra | Is gnome 3 iintegrated by default to precise p ? | 09:54 |
| minimec | nlici: Seems to be a problem with the USB HUB (gessing you have USB printers). When you plug the printer, check the last 5-10 lines of 'dmesg' in a console. It should give you some info about how the device is recognized by the system. | 09:54 |
| Kriss3d | auroandace well i like to work with my linux. not just install and go facebook & youtube.. but thats the beauty of linux.. you always have a second choise | 09:54 |
| myhero | km0201: basically i m trying to backup the installed packages so as to install them afterwards like u do when u wanna install on other machine offline... | 09:54 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | its nice by them huh XD | 09:55 |
| oCean | z3bra: ofcourse, since unity is gnome3 | 09:55 |
| nlici | i tried samsung 3200 printer which was working before the upgrade , i tried brother printer , i tried hp 4500 as well it seems that data transfer is done but on the status up it seems like it is stopped . I am using now 4500 hp wireless and it is printing ONLY WITHOUT cable | 09:55 |
| oCean | ZOmBIENiNGA: can you please stop the offtopic running commentary? | 09:55 |
| Kriss3d | ocean no its not | 09:55 |
| z3bra | oCean: Sorry, i mean, gnome-shell | 09:55 |
| oCean | Kriss3d: it is | 09:55 |
| ZOmBIENiNGA | sorry | 09:55 |
| auronandace | !unity | 09:55 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:55 |
| auronandace | its a shell for gnome3, it isn't gnome3 itself | 09:56 |
| Kriss3d | there is gnome-shell which is gnome 3 which can be made into looking alot like gnome 2 | 09:56 |
| z3bra | Haha, then I was not wrong \o/ | 09:56 |
| recon_lap | got two bloody huge bugs that dont seem to be fixed though, my network manager crashes regularly and requires a reboot, and any usb drive attached causes booting to hang | 09:56 |
| Narc | Hello everyone, I'm trying to get the function key to work for brightness settings on an Asus K53SD laptop, on 12.04. I tried a lot of tweaks, none of them work. any suggestions ? Thanks | 09:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nlici: are you using a usb hub? | 09:56 |
| the-erm | myhero: here's a post about backing-up your installed packages. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=819396 From what I'm reading it probably wouldn't be that hard to put it on an external drive of some sort. | 09:57 |
| z3bra | Then, unity is the only DE on pangolin ? | 09:57 |
| auronandace | z3bra: the default desktop (unity2d is there too) | 09:57 |
| KM0201 | z3bra: not really, you can install others from the repos.. | 09:57 |
| myhero | the-erm: thnx will look at it... | 09:57 |
| auronandace | z3bra: but it is trivial to install gnome-shell or any other desktop | 09:57 |
| z3bra | KM0201: i said 'default' ^^ I know I can ^^ | 09:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: there is also lxde, xfce, kde, gnome-shell, awesome, ratpoison, etc | 09:58 |
| airdem | i have created a new user and gave him admin rights. but in "language support" the "install new language" option is gray. any ideas? | 09:58 |
| KM0201 | z3bra: i guess i missed default, then yes, it is default in 12.04 (just as it was in 11.10, and 11.04) | 09:58 |
| z3bra | Okay, thx ;) | 09:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: if you want a different one as "default", try xubuntu, kubuntu or lubuntu | 09:58 |
| z3bra | Oh ! Does someone know how to set ratpoison as the default WM in unity or gnome-shell ? | 09:59 |
| z3bra | Instead of metacity | 09:59 |
| airdem | and the system is still asking me for the first users password | 09:59 |
| myhero | the-erm: ur link looks usefull...will look at it and be back if any problems...thnx n 2 km0201 also.... | 09:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: you can't set it as the default IN unity or gnome-shell as ratpoison *replaces* unity or gnome-shell | 09:59 |
| z3bra | DarwinSurvivor: don't worry, if I want another one, I will manage changing it ^^ | 09:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: you *might* be able to run it with gnome3, but I have no idea if that would even work... | 10:00 |
| z3bra | DarwinSurvivor: Ratpoison is a Window manager | 10:00 |
| z3bra | Not a desktop environnement | 10:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: i know, i've used it (and its derivative stumpwm) | 10:00 |
| myhero | exit | 10:00 |
| recon_lap | z3bra: use live CD's to check out your options, would not recommend multi-changes to your live install | 10:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: actually, I'm not sure if ratpoison IS in pangolin, since it's been discontinued and replaced by stumpwm | 10:01 |
| z3bra | DarwinSurvivor: Arf, because on Archlinux forum, or elsewhere, I rode someone that had RP as his WM insinde unity | 10:02 |
| airdem | i have created a new user and both of my users have admin rights now. however while logged in with the second user ubuntu still asks for the password of the first user to install apps etc | 10:02 |
| publo | hi everyone | 10:02 |
| === xazax is now known as Guest25552 | ||
| z3bra | Maybe I'd better use i3 then... | 10:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: well, you may be able to use stumpwm with parts of unity (launcher, panel, etc). | 10:03 |
| publo | just a quick question. | 10:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: the best way to find out is to try it! | 10:03 |

| skiwithpete | hey, tonight I was updating and the updater crashed. It says links broken, partial upgrade. | 10:04 |
| skiwithpete | is there any way to get this working again? | 10:04 |
| z3bra | DarwinSurvivor: But as i'm on my pro laptop, I prefer being sure of what I do :P | 10:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | z3bra: install ubuntu in virtualbox, then you can save the state and try a whole BUNCH of configs and just roll back each time without worrying about it | 10:04 |
| z3bra | DarwinSurvivor: I'll if I find the time ;) | 10:05 |

| drussell | diverdude: can you write new files to it from another machine? | 10:10 |
| paulus68 | DarwinSurvivor: it's vmware if that's the same for you | 10:10 |
| diverdude | drussell: no...works elsewhere | 10:10 |
| drussell | diverdude: ahh, in that case, not sure what you're seeing | 10:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | paulus68: ok, post a screenshot/whatever of vmware's virtual network adapter page/output/whatever | 10:11 |

| KM0201 | Naemdar: avast has a decent linux antivirus app.. it's easy to install, but unless you're scanning things before passing them to Windows users, it's more or less useless. | 10:20 |

| Darael | IdleOne: That's not how I remember it working. I thought anything for which the /reason/ for installation was that it was a dependency was marked automatically installed. | 11:05 |
| MonkeyDust | KM0201 better use /msg ubottu to know if a factoid exists | 11:06 |
| jellow | does flash work on 64 bit anything other I should know? | 11:06 |
| KM0201 | MonkeyDust: i know, i just had it wrong... i knew it was something like that | 11:06 |
| KM0201 | jellow: flash is working fine for me.. YMMV | 11:06 |
| IdleOne | Darael: I'm not well versed enough to explain or understand it. sorry. | 11:06 |
| KM0201 | jellow: just install the codecs, etc.. during the installation, and it will download/install flash for you. | 11:06 |
| DoctorPepper | guys any idea about my issue ? | 11:07 |
| Darael | IdleOne: Ah, well. I know I could get what I want manually, using a similar aptitude command to get a list of packages for aptitude why, but that could take ages... oh, well. | 11:07 |

| ogra_ | Darael, the first one sets them to manual, the tow latter ones set them to automatic | 11:09 |
| L3top | DoctorPepper: Often things are installed as dependencies to another install, and are not necessary for operation, or other packages replace the older ones... autoremove will not harm your system. | 11:09 |
| Darael | ogra_: Are you sure that's the right way round? Because I installed with the minimal CD, and used the tasksel in that... | 11:09 |
| Naemdar | cool so the worst possible scenario I have to redo the install for linux, not a big deal. I will just learn more about he process. I love this os it is a constant learning experience for me. | 11:09 |
| ogra_ | Darael, yes, thats what we use to create the images | 11:10 |
| beata | I just now discovered irc.ubuntu.com is freenode. No wonder nickserv kept messing me up: I had irc.ubuntu.com and irc.freenode.net as separate accounts inside pidgin. | 11:10 |

| L3top | good call auronandace. | 11:10 |

| Darael | ogra_: Hang on. I'm confused now. Do tasks mark as automatic, or do metapackages? | 11:11 |

| Darael | ogra_: Because I used tasksel (which uses aptitude, generally, IME), and I have things that I'd expect to be marked automatic flagged as manual. | 11:11 |
| pratz | the installer gives error every time i try to install | 11:11 |
| pratz | installer error is "Internal Error" , any ideas ? | 11:11 |
| ogra_ | Darael, no, tasksel and aptitude are two totally different things | 11:11 |
| Naemdar | Hopefully be back online tomorrow, when the new mobo, processor and ram arrives. *crosses fingers* | 11:12 |
| txomon|home | pratz, you can try alternate CD, and if you dont feel anoyed by shell installs, the mini iso | 11:12 |
| Darael | ogra_: Yes, and tasksel calls aptitude. I know, because I had a whole episode on amd64 using tasksel because of the aptitude multiarch bug. | 11:12 |
| ogra_ | aptitude is an alternative system to apt-get ... using separate DBs etc | 11:12 |
| endstille | okay, so i do ubunt-bug ubiquity, once i'm at home again | 11:12 |
| ogra_ | Darael, well, then you might face an aptitude issue | 11:12 |
| ogra_ | i know for sure the apt-get based task install sets everything to automatic | 11:13 |
| ogra_ | (else all ubuntu images woudl end up with the manual flags for all packages :) ) | 11:13 |
| pratz | txomon|home: from where can i download mini iso ?? | 11:14 |
| normatif | how do I add an app I extracted to my home folder to appear on unity app lens? | 11:14 |
| Darael | My reading of the aptitude manual suggests that /anything/ pulled in as a dependency should be marked as automatic, even though it prompts to confirm the additional installs. I also understood that more recent versions of aptitude and apt-cli used the same database for such things. | 11:14 |
| Darael | !minimal | pratz | 11:14 |
| ubottu | pratz: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:14 |
| * ogra_ cant help on aptitude, sorry ... we dont use it anywhere in ubuntu usually | 11:14 | |
| txomon|home | Darael, stop using aptitude and use apt-get | 11:15 |
| pratz | txomon|home: dude i do not have internet connection while installing | 11:15 |
| Darael | ogra_: That's what I /thought/ was the case, but apt-cache depends tasksel shows "Depends: aptitude" | 11:15 |
| txomon|home | pratz, so use Alternate cd | 11:15 |
| txomon|home | mini iso + minimal packets == alternate iso | 11:16 |
| ogra_ | Darael, right, as i said above, might be a bug in aptitude | 11:16 |
| Darael | txomon|home: The issue is that tasksel uses aptitude, and that tasksel is in the text-mode installer, not that I'm using aptitude myself. | 11:16 |
| pratz | txomon|home: what is difference between the normal and alternate cd ? | 11:16 |
| txomon|home | pratz, alternate + no-shell gui == normal | 11:16 |
| auronandace | !alternate | 11:16 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 11:16 |
| beata | What are you using these days instead of aptitude? (curious) | 11:16 |
| Imre | Hy guys! Do you know anything about the issue with vsftpd and Ubuntu 12.04? | 11:16 |
| txomon|home | beata, apt-get | 11:17 |
| Imre | If I set the folders chmod to a-w ( or anything that allows write ), then I can’t connect. [refusing to run with writable root inside chroot()] | 11:17 |
| Imre | If I set it to have no write access, then I can join, but for what? I have no write access. | 11:17 |
| beata | Oh, right. ;) | 11:17 |
| txomon|home | !apt-get | 11:17 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 11:17 |
| Darael | txomon|home: I'm fully familiar with apt-get, I just wish the alternate (and minimal) CDs would use it instead of aptitude (although I can see the use of the latter for the "manual package selection" option. | 11:18 |
| txomon|home | Darael, I discourage you to use that | 11:18 |
| txomon|home | for me it always gives problems | 11:19 |
| === J2 is now known as J2|QK | ||
| Darael | txomon|home: I /don't/ use the "manual package selection" option. I /have/ used the tasksel interface, which /still/ calls aptitude. | 11:19 |
| lucian | empathy seems broken | 11:20 |

| lucian | neither does clicking on contacts | 11:21 |
| lucian | could be related to the upgrade | 11:21 |
| lucian | auronandace: it's common, isn't it? | 11:21 |
| Darael | As for my original question, what I was after was not a way of cloning my package list but of getting a list of all the manually-installed packages that weren't dependencies of anything, so I could get rid of things that I no longer needed but that "apt-get autoremove" wouldn't see. | 11:21 |

| pengw | hello all | 11:21 |
| pengw | one question | 11:22 |
| Rar9 | hi how can I easly update my php 5.3.2 to 5.3.11? Ubuntu 10.04 lts | 11:22 |
| auronandace | !latest | Rar9 | 11:22 |
| ubottu | Rar9: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 11:22 |
| txomon|home | Darael, the best usually is to do it yourself. you can take all the manually selected ones, and filter the not real ones | 11:22 |
| pengw | currently i am working some code based on opencl. I want to use my favor IDE geany to deal with them but I dont how | 11:22 |
| Rar9 | ubottu what about 5.3.10? | 11:23 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:23 |
| pengw | who know how to configure geany to work with opencl. It should as sample as gcc -lOpenCL hellow.c | 11:23 |
| Rar9 | auronandace what about 5.3.10? | 11:24 |
| Darael | txomon|home: I know - that's what I'm doing, in conjunction with "aptitude why" (if you can give me an apt-get or apt-cache equivalent, that'd be great, incidentally), I was just hoping for something involving a little less manual effort. | 11:24 |
| auronandace | Rar9: same applies, you did read what ubottu wrote? | 11:24 |
| txomon|home | Darael, apt-cache rdepends | 11:24 |
| txomon|home | or depends | 11:25 |
| Lucasho | [ ·~ txomon|home·~ ] - ! | 11:25 |
| txomon|home | Lucasho, ? | 11:25 |
| Darael | Rar9: The whole point is that the version of a package in any given Ubuntu release is likely to be constant. See if it's in backports, or a ppa, or a newer release, or compile it yourself (in descending order of preference). | 11:25 |
| Lucasho | [ ·~ txomon|home·~ ] - como estas viejo ? | 11:25 |
| MonkeyDust | !es | 11:25 |
| ubottu | 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. | 11:25 |
| LjL | Lucasho: this is a support channel, please take chit-chat to PM or #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:26 |
| Darael | txomon|home: Not the same; aptitude why gives results based on what else is installed, apt-cache (r)depends just gives a dependency list, which is /much/ more effort to work out. | 11:26 |
| lucian | hmm, telepathy-mission control keeps crashing now | 11:26 |
| Darael | Well, I know where to find libapt; I suppose I could always write it myself. | 11:27 |
| ogra_ | Darael, well, the "right" way to install a task is apt-get install taskname^ (note the caret) ... and i actually thought tasksel uses that in the backend since a while ... i might be wrong though | 11:28 |
| ogra_ | (someone in #ubuntu-installer might know though) | 11:28 |
| Darael | ogra_: Maybe it does in Precise. It certainly doesn't in Oneiric. | 11:28 |
| bookpage | hey, i've got a problem. I believe one of my display config files has become orphan'd and my recovery mode won't display anything. How can I do a full disk check to find the orphaned file and fix it? | 11:29 |

| txomon|home | Darael, but, apt detects automatically those ones | 11:45 |
| txomon|home | ahmmm | 11:45 |

| troulouliou_dev | Hi ambiance the in gnome classic is white now is it a bug ? | 12:05 |
| === ubuntu is now known as myhero | ||
| Dr_willis | troulouliou_dev, theres some quirk that makes the menus background black or white dependong on how they were called i read. | 12:06 |
| MonkeyDust | troulouliou_dev that's radiance, ambiance is black | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | troulouliou_dev, the webupd8 site has a bit of a work around for it - if thats the issue | 12:06 |
| chandru_in | I installed 12.04 and when I run eclipse, there is no entry in launcher and it does not show up in alt+tab | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | eclipse always seem to be weird. ;) wonder why that is. | 12:07 |
| myhero | i made a backup of installed packages with aptoncd....but i didnt burn it instead i havethe backup.iso so now if i fresh install then how to restore packages from this backup.iso assuming that if its a fresh install then there wil not be aptoncd installed ? | 12:07 |
| mraxilus | for ubuntu cloud, is the graphics processing done on the server or the client's machine? | 12:07 |
| acer-ubuntu | l3top: i am here now to ask | 12:07 |
| troulouliou_dev | Dr_willis, i have it black on one laptop and white on mine , guess it is a bug will check the site | 12:07 |
| chandru_in | Dr_willis, Any known workaround for this? | 12:07 |
| greenmang0 | is default "umask" value for ubuntu 12.04 "0002" ? | 12:08 |
| fulat2k | hi folks, how good is the hardware detection for Macbook Pro in 12.04? | 12:08 |
| myhero | i made a backup of installed packages with aptoncd....but i didnt burn it instead i have the backup.iso so now if i fresh install then how to restore packages from this backup.iso assuming that if its a fresh install then there wil not be aptoncd installed ? | 12:08 |
| L3top | myhero: you can loop mount the iso... or burn it... | 12:09 |
| myhero | l3top: loop means what ? | 12:09 |
| MonkeyDust | myhero open aptoncd and choose restore | 12:09 |
| myhero | if i fresh install then there will not be aptoncd installed | 12:10 |
| acer-ubuntu | I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, and am now trying to get it to run. In the grub menu, if I load it normally, all I get is a black screen. In order for it to boot successfully, I have to edit the menu item and add 'nomodeset'. With this, Ubuntu boots up. | 12:10 |
| acer-ubuntu | Is there a fix for this, so that I don't have to constantly add the nomodeset? I tried to install the proprietary drivers but I still had the same problem | 12:10 |
| z3bra | myhero: just install it before retriving your packages | 12:10 |
| Dr_willis | chandru_in, i just recall eclipse being weird even on the 11.10 release with similer issues. I imagine its due to how its being called/ran as a bash script calling a java app. but i never use the app | 12:10 |
| chandru_in | ok | 12:10 |
| myhero | mount how to install .deb packages ? | 12:11 |
| acer-ubuntu | anyone can help me? | 12:11 |
| Daiz| | acer-ubuntu, having the same problem as you atm, it's so sad. | 12:11 |
| myhero | where can i get a virtual drive mounting package for ubuntu | 12:11 |
| Dr_willis | acer-ubuntu, install the drivers for your video card, or try adding the nomodeset to the default optiuons in /etc/default/grub (i think) | 12:11 |
| L3top | myhero: man mount | 12:11 |
| Daiz| | Dr_willis, what if the drivers are already installed after using 12.04beta? | 12:11 |
| z3bra | acer-ubuntu: Edit yout /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:12 |
| myhero | l3top: ok | 12:12 |
| acer-ubuntu | Dr_willis,: where to find driver for my video card, i didnt find it | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | Daiz|, for my nvidia system. i had to use nomodeset untill i got the drivers installed. | 12:12 |
| z3bra | acer-ubuntu: And add "nomodeset" at the end of your entry | 12:12 |
| airdem | why am i only able to change the lang symwide but not per user?ste | 12:12 |
| L3top | does grub2 use menu.lst? | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | z3bra, ubuntu uses grub2 now... | 12:12 |
| airdem | *systemwide | 12:12 |
| myhero | can backups of one version will be allowed to install on other version of ubuntu like backups of 11.10 on 12.04 | 12:12 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: what GPU? | 12:12 |
| Daiz| | Dr_willis, It's a laptop with integrated intel atom, I can only boot to my second OS. | 12:12 |
| z3bra | Dr_willis: my bad, reflex from my other distro ^^ | 12:13 |
| acer-ubuntu | z3bra: nomodeset is bad view, looks like open program in safe mode | 12:13 |
| wadechandler | acer-ubuntu: did you look in /var/log/X.org.*.log? There might be a specific message. Usually I do some googling with those and find workarounds. | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | Daiz|, odd. My intel netbook works good with 12.04 | 12:13 |
| Daiz| | Dr_willis, it worked fine on beta, then after the final, boom black screen after logging in, and then the HDD got corrupted. | 12:13 |
| acer-ubuntu | wadechandler: i dont understand, i am newbie | 12:13 |
| myhero | can backups of one version will be allowed to install on other version of ubuntu like backups of 11.10 on 12.04 ??? | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | Daiz|, no ideea then. check the bug reports perhaps maybe a known issue. | 12:14 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: what is GPU? | 12:14 |
| vitor-br | My unity does not load at login? someone has this problem? | 12:14 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 12:14 |
| L3top | in a terminal acer-ubuntu | 12:14 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: okay | 12:14 |
| L3top | Paste teh output here | 12:14 |

| ThePendulum | Greetings | 12:15 |
| L3top | myhero: I would not expect much success with that. | 12:15 |
| myhero | l3top: how is 12.04 | 12:15 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: this is what i get in terminal, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a42] (rev 07) | 12:15 |
| wadechandler | when you get a screen up, run a terminal, and then cd to /var/log and ls -lsda X*. Look through those files looking for error messages. If you have a really hard time with it, you can email me at online@wadechandler.com and be sure and attach your logs. I might be able to help. No promises...deps on what is in the logs. | 12:16 |
| Marzata | 12.04 is awesome. Thank you, Mark! | 12:16 |
| z3bra | acer-ubuntu: did you installed private pilots ? | 12:16 |
| myhero | marzata: ok | 12:16 |
| acer-ubuntu | z3bra: what u mean private pilot ? | 12:17 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel i965-va-driver libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri | 12:17 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel i965-va-driver libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri | 12:17 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: i will try | 12:17 |
| Daiz| | L3top, will that work in the recovery console? | 12:17 |
| z3bra | That's what I meant ^^ haha | 12:17 |
| wadechandler | 12.04 is awesome except for unity. On a laptop or desktop ... at least for this programmer ... it is less productive because of the whole left side of the screen biz and application window switching is a pain...i.e. I'm in one app and want to go to another app and a specific window...using only the mouse. | 12:17 |
| wadechandler | Other than that though I would love unity I think | 12:18 |
| L3top | Sorry... will what work Daiz|? | 12:18 |
| MonkeyDust | !nounity| wadechandler | 12:18 |
| ubottu | wadechandler: 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 | 12:18 |
| Daiz| | L3top, the commands? I'm having the same problem as acerubuntu. | 12:18 |
| fidel_ | productivity & mouse? ;) | 12:18 |
| MonkeyDust | wadechandler i don't like/use Unity either | 12:18 |
| L3top | Daiz|: that was specific to his gpu. give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA | 12:18 |
| Marzata | !xfce | 12:19 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:19 |
| wadechandler | ubottu: I'm on 12.04 now | 12:19 |
| ubottu | wadechandler: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:19 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: should i restart my laptop now after installing driver which you gave ? | 12:19 |
| airdem | where do i have to copy this http://pastebin.com/3U8tvRr0 to get lang working? | 12:19 |
| myhero | L3top: this is another method to backup the files, please go through it...in the 3rd command after making the dir i m getting the fatal error...please resolve it - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=819396 | 12:19 |
| L3top | !pastebinit | Daiz| | 12:19 |
| ubottu | Daiz|: 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 | 12:19 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: yes | 12:19 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: okay | 12:19 |
| wadechandler | does work better on multi mon setup, but still MUCH less productive...if I could find the unity sources and find the devs to communicate with i'm sure I could help make it better | 12:19 |

| ThePendulum | Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu on a laptop. However, it boots and shows the purple screen for a short amount of time, before going black. If I boot in recovery mode, only half the screen is "usable" (lots of graphical artifacts). This last graphics mode was already present during installation, but I hoped it would fix itself after the installation. I've tried booting with nomodeset, but it didn't help. | 12:20 |
| Daiz| | That command doesn't even work L3top, I'm on lubuntu 11.10 | 12:20 |
| L3top | so in recovery Daiz|, apt-get install pastebinit then lspci -nn | grep VGA | pastebinit | 12:20 |
| myhero | Xubuntu Xfce is better or ubuntu Gnome ? | 12:20 |
| Darael | !best | myhero | 12:20 |
| ubottu | myhero: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 12:20 |
| Marzata | myhero: yes | 12:20 |
| L3top | Yes it does Daiz|. Check spelling. | 12:20 |
| airdem | where do i have to copy this http://pastebin.com/3U8tvRr0 to get lang working? | 12:20 |
| fidel_ | myhero: different | 12:20 |
| wadechandler | Marzata: would use xfce, but right now there are things which hinder me such as QT/KDE applications don't blend in well. At least they didn't when I tried a few months back. | 12:21 |
| ThePendulum | myhero: None of them is 'better', is a matter of preference or performance requirements on older systems | 12:21 |
| z3bra | Does anyone have a great expenrience (or just managed to...) with changing metacity to another WM on 12.04 ? | 12:21 |
| ThePendulum | myhero: *it is | 12:21 |
| Daiz| | L3top, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a011] | 12:21 |
| Darael | !anyone | z3bra | 12:21 |
| ubottu | z3bra: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 12:21 |
| Marzata | myhero: on the top of this, Xubuntu is much more stylish. | 12:22 |
| L3top | yes Daiz| same exact line. | 12:22 |
| L3top | Daiz|: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel i965-va-driver libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri | 12:22 |
| Daiz| | Thanks. will try that when I get home. | 12:22 |
| myhero | marzata: ok thnx 4 advice...i'll try xubuntu 2 | 12:22 |
| ThePendulum | myhero: I'd say, try both. I've tried Xubuntu while Unity was still a bit shitty (sorry). As of 12.04 , I switched back to Ubuntu. I've had similar great experiences with both Gnome in 12.04 (or Gnome 2 in the past) and the latest Xfce. | 12:22 |
| z3bra | Darael: *In order to tell me which WM, if integration is good, if it was hard to manage, etc | 12:23 |
| L3top | Daiz|: wait... that isnt correct | 12:23 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: it doesnt work, my laptop still blank, i should change it to nomodeset to see my latop | 12:23 |
| Daiz| | :( | 12:24 |
| ThePendulum | Anyone on my laptop issue? | 12:24 |
| Dr_willis | z3bra, what wm are you wanting to us4e exactly? | 12:24 |
| L3top | Daiz|: I forgot that you are on 11.10... that is the target version yes? | 12:24 |
| Darael | z3bra: I gathered, but still. Better to just ask that - eg "I'm looking for advice on replacing metacity on 12.04 - what should I replace with, and how easy is it?". It's amazing how much faster the answers roll in. | 12:24 |
| Daiz| | L3top, the line is correct, as I will boot up with 12.04LTS in recovery. | 12:24 |
| wadechandler | ThePendulum: could you repost? hard to find it in the stream | 12:24 |
| Gnea | ThePendulum: what issue? | 12:24 |
| myhero | ThePendulum: thnx for advice.... | 12:24 |
| Daiz| | or am i wrong? | 12:24 |
| Marzata | myhero: we migrated to Xubuntu last October, and we must say it is better then the old Ubuntu + Gnome2. | 12:25 |
| z3bra | Dr_willis: my first choice go to openbox or ratpoison | 12:25 |
| ThePendulum | wadechandler, Gnea: Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu on a laptop. However, it boots and shows the purple screen for a short amount of time, before going black. If I boot in recovery mode, only half the screen is "usable" (lots of graphical artifacts). This last graphics mode was already present during installation, but I hoped it would fix itself after the installation. I've tried booting with nomodeset, but it didn't help. | 12:25 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| Dr_willis | z3bra, if you install the openbox package it used to add a entry for 'openbox gnome' in the login screen menus.. not sure if it still does. | 12:25 |
| moz_ | hi, simple-scan starts only if launched by root. Otherwise I get a segmentation fault (core dump) error. Any hint? | 12:25 |
| Dr_willis | z3bra, you could always make your own custome session, or use the 'openbox' session it creates | 12:26 |
| z3bra | I know they are completely opposed, but I like them a lot as standalone =) And I'd like to know if they can have a great integration with unity or gnome-shell | 12:26 |
| z3bra | Dr_willis: I know, But I don't want to use them as standalone WM | 12:26 |
| acer-ubuntu | l3top: i am back now, and my laptop still blank if i dont use nomodeset, is there any way to view my laptop such as regular? | 12:26 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: That is perplexing. I will have to check a couple of things | 12:26 |
| L3top | one moment | 12:26 |
| Darael | z3bra: gnome-shell pretty much /is/ a window manager, so no help there. Unity is rather too tightly tied to compiz-and-metacity, at a guess. | 12:27 |
| wadechandler | ThePendulum: I would look in /var/log/X*.log and see if anything jumps out. Usually will see messages with (EE) for error. | 12:27 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: what is perplexing? | 12:27 |
| L3top | That you are having gpu issues with compiz with those drivers in place acer-ubuntu. | 12:27 |
| z3bra | Darael: So no possibility of evolution/customization of unity or gnome-shell in that way...? :/ | 12:28 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top; i hope u get the answer soon :) | 12:28 |
| wielkifreeman | hello, Can I install Unity on kubuntu 12.04 | 12:28 |
| wielkifreeman | ? | 12:28 |
| wadechandler | ThePendulum: might help you track down something specific. Too, lspci and get your card. Then, do some googling to see if anyone else has the same issue with that specific card and 12.04. Usually how i find those type issues. Sometimes I take my X config file down to a minimum to get something that will load and then tweak it slowly on systems which have issues like that. Sometimes it will be one little thing that breaks it. | 12:28 |
| Darael | z3bra: Not AIUI. | 12:28 |
| ThePendulum | wadechandler: Let me try that | 12:28 |
| z3bra | AIUI ? | 12:28 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: lets try creating an xorg.conf | 12:28 |
| Dr_willis | z3bra, unity is a compiz plugin.. and compiz is a window manager.. now unity-2d perhaps... | 12:29 |
| Darael | wielkifreeman: That's pretty much equivalent to running KDE apps on Ubuntu 12.04, so I don't see why not. | 12:29 |
| ThePendulum | wadechandler: If I only knew what graphics card this thing uses | 12:29 |
| Darael | z3bra: As I Understand It. | 12:29 |
| jthing | wielkifreeman, don't choose one or the other two windowmanagers isbegging for trouble | 12:29 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: how then? | 12:29 |
| z3bra | Dr_willis: Oh yes true, I had forgotten it ^^ | 12:29 |
| Gallomimia | oh my. why does my system tell me it might be in an unstable state? | 12:29 |
| Darael | Dr_willis: Considering z3bra mentioned replacing metacity, I assumed unity-2d from the start. | 12:29 |
| moz_ | hi, simple-scan starts only if launched by root. Otherwise I get a segmentation fault (core dump) error. Any hint? | 12:29 |
| wadechandler | ThePendulum: just run lspci and you can find it. | 12:29 |
| wadechandler | from a terminal | 12:29 |
| Gallomimia | i'm desperately spamming apt-get update dist-upgrade and things are happening. no idea if i'll be able to boot this system again | 12:30 |
| Dr_willis | I thought unity-2d used mutter.. or was that gnome-shell... i get so confused | 12:30 |
| === icubedajb123_ is now known as icubedajb123 | ||
| KM0201 | jthing: how is that? (asking for trouble) | 12:30 |
| z3bra | gnome-shell use mutter | 12:30 |
| Darael | Dr_willis: Pretty sure that's gnome-shell. | 12:30 |
| jthing | wielkifreeman, In particular the 3D thin in unity is a issue. Maybe the 2D is less troblesome | 12:30 |
| z3bra | OH YEAH !!! | 12:30 |
| z3bra | Update finished ! | 12:30 |
| z3bra | Let reboot then ^^ | 12:30 |
| Dr_willis | we seem to be getting away from the 'window manager' vs 'file manager/desktop icon manager' type seperation we had in years past. | 12:30 |
| wielkifreeman | Dareal, jting I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/127698/how-can-i-install-unity-in-kubuntu-12-04 and I would ask expert before install unity | 12:31 |
| ThePendulum | wadechandler: It only returns the vendor, which is Intel it says (which I find strange) | 12:31 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: You will either need to stop lightdm or boot to a recovery console and type: Xorg -configure this will dump a file called xorg.conf.new in /home/username I believe... you will then cp /home/username/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:31 |
| Gallomimia | if i see this bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/798462 can I run some commands to be reasonably sure it got fixed? | 12:31 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 798462 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "update-manager's free space calculator for /boot seems insufficient" [Medium,Fix released] | 12:31 |

| acer-ubuntu | L3top: how to boot to a recovery console? | 12:32 |
| ThePendulum | myhero: np | 12:32 |
| myhero | thependulum: what about kubuntu ? | 12:33 |
| IdleOne | Gallomimia: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade - That should update the package unless it has already been updated on your system. | 12:33 |
| Marsjanin | Hello guys. WTF with flashplugin? | 12:33 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: what about it? works fine here | 12:33 |
| Darael | wielkifreeman: the tab key will autocomplete a nick, helping thee to spell my name (it's a before e) and enabling my client to get my attention because my name came up. I nearly missed that! | 12:33 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: you can hold space during boot... then select it... I believe that will dump you in as root though, so it will create the xorg.conf.new in /root | 12:33 |
| vitor-br | My unity does not load at login? someone has this problem? | 12:33 |
| Gallomimia | IdleOne: it tells me something failed while running do-release-upgrade. did i get everything fixed? | 12:34 |
| ThePendulum | myhero: Same story, you have to try it to see if you like it. I'm more fond of Xubuntu myself, but I know a lot of people like Kubuntu of Xubuntu. The best way is always to go out there and see for yourself. | 12:34 |
| Dr_willis | vitor-br, what does it do exactly? | 12:34 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: or you can type sudo service lightdm stop and it should kill X. | 12:34 |
| ThePendulum | myhero: It's all just Ubuntu wearing a jacket in a certain colour | 12:34 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: okay, i will restart my laptop now, and hit space bar when booting | 12:34 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 798462 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "update-manager's free space calculator for /boot seems insufficient" [Medium,Fix released] | 12:36 |
| sambagirl | i am asking a question has nothing to do with eol or doa | 12:36 |
| sambagirl | or lsd or pcp or thc | 12:36 |
| Gallomimia | o0 | 12:36 |
| L3top | sambagirl: you should look at /etc/init.d if it is there you can update-rc.d -f remove <script> | 12:37 |
| sambagirl | i just need to know where the startup stuff is | 12:37 |
| myhero | thependulum: yea u were telling about 30 mins of modification | 12:37 |
| IdleOne | sambagirl: 10.10 is no longer supported. | 12:37 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: About a week before upgrading to 12.04, having 11.10, there appeared update of Flash. After installing that, there was black or white screen instead of .swf content. No flash games, no youtube movies. I tried installing APT from Adobe site, I tried to install again the flashplugin-installer, it downloads and installs, but didn't work. I'm using Firefox. There was another update of... | 12:37 |
| Marsjanin | ...flash before system upgrade, and I think another during system upgraade. Both changes nothing. | 12:37 |
| freewayzify | helo pals | 12:37 |
| wielkifreeman | Darael, thank, You think that I can install unity and 3d unity will work, I try | 12:37 |
| ThePendulum | myhero: If you install TeamViewer or something, I am happy to customize Xfce for you so it looks Gnome 2-ish | 12:37 |
| === christopher is now known as Guest74464 | ||
| Marsjanin | KM0201: All that greping commands shows it is flash installed. | 12:38 |
| myhero | thependulum: ok i'll do it....but can we private chat for some time ? | 12:38 |
| Darael | sambagirl: We can't really help unless we know what the "no-ip type thingy" was. I'm not even sure what /type/ of thing that's meant to be. Additionally, 10.10 is EOL and thou /art/ more likely to get support if using a currently-supported version, so I recommend upgrading. | 12:38 |
| sambagirl | it's a dynip type thing Darael | 12:38 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: what version of ubuntu are you using?... 11.10, or 12.04? | 12:38 |
| sambagirl | it provides static ip for dynamic ips | 12:38 |
| sambagirl | it was a test | 12:38 |
| sambagirl | nevermibnd i found the place | 12:39 |

| blurp | now my boot screen is for lxde instead of ubuntu studio for some reason, and sometimes it's ubuntu's screen. | 12:40 |

| acer-ubuntu | L3top: i have tried to hit space bar when booting, and it beep so loud | 12:41 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: try this... go to adobe.com, click downloads, click get flash player, and where it says "Select version to download" choose ".tar.gz for Linux" and download it. | 12:41 |
| L3top | sambagirl: was the place /etc/init.d ? because you will want to properly remove it from the runlevels using the format I gave you. | 12:41 |
| BitPuffin | Well this is very annoying | 12:42 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: and? Unpack it where? | 12:42 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: and? | 12:42 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: just for now, unpack it where it is. | 12:42 |
| KM0201 | there's only two files in there | 12:42 |
| steveccc | i am looking for a graphics app to draw website sitemaps where objects (circles) have connectors (legs) which move around and automatically space themselves out etc. Similar to visio on windows. Can anyone recommend anything | 12:42 |
| katuelone | why channel ubuntu in spanish ???? | 12:43 |
| BitPuffin | I rely on xvidcap for work because it is the only screencaster I know that records to AVI.. And it's removed from the repo and doesn't compile from source. What a bummer | 12:43 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: I'll try | 12:43 |
| myhero | i dont usually do pm but regarding guidelines sometimes so that it doesn't affects others | 12:43 |
| popey | BitPuffin: tried kazam | 12:43 |
| acer-ubuntu | l3top: and it failed, i still cant see my screen in splash screen, i have to use nomodeset always | 12:43 |
| magnus | Hi, I have a 11.10 install, via wubi. I would like to upgrade to 12, but would like to make a backup first. Whats the best way to do a backup, when installed via wubi? | 12:43 |
| popey | BitPuffin: we removed xvidcap because it was dead developmentally, kazam is very active | 12:43 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: after its unpacked... there's a file, "libflashplayer.so" right click it, and choose copy. then go to /home/username click View/Show Hidden Files and directory | 12:43 |
| L3top | !calligraflow | steveccc | 12:44 |
| BitPuffin | popey, it only saves to webM and h.264 though. None of them can be opened in Vegas 10. And unfortunately lightworks isn't here yet so I have to use it | 12:44 |
| popey | BitPuffin: you can easily convert them with ffmpeg | 12:44 |
| L3top | steveccc: check out calligraflow | 12:44 |
| Darael | steveccc: kivio or dia. | 12:44 |
| popey | BitPuffin: or use a GUI tool like winff | 12:44 |
| Darael | steveccc: For future reference, http://osalt.com can be really useful! | 12:45 |
| steveccc | thanks all - will have a look at them now | 12:45 |
| BitPuffin | popey, doesn't that result in a big quality loss? | 12:45 |
| popey | BitPuffin: no | 12:45 |
| popey | BitPuffin: you can specify options which keep quality | 12:45 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: what for the .so in my home? | 12:45 |
| popey | BitPuffin: also, very latest unstable kazam has avi recording ☺ | 12:45 |
| popey | BitPuffin: also, latest kazam has lossless (raw) recording too | 12:45 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: What failed? You created the xorg.conf and copied it to the /etc/X11 dir? | 12:45 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: once you've got your hidden files/folders in view, navigate to /home/username/.mozilla and inside .mozilla, create a folder called "plugins" open plugins, and paste the libflashplayer.so file inside there. | 12:45 |
| popey | BitPuffin: drop by #kazam sometime ☺ | 12:45 |
| BitPuffin | popey, but on the launchpad site it says that unstable is currently broken? | 12:45 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: after that, close all instances of firefox running, and restart the browser. | 12:46 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: not yet | 12:46 |
| popey | BitPuffin: where? | 12:46 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top; oh i so confused | 12:46 |
| popey | BitPuffin: https://launchpad.net/kazam | 12:46 |
| L3top | You don't need graphics for recovery terminal... its just a terminal. | 12:46 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: OK... Funny workaround, Fx says it see and running the "system" flash now. | 12:46 |
| popey | BitPuffin: just "bzr branch lp:kazam" then "cd kazam/bin" then "./kazam" ☺ | 12:46 |
| BitPuffin | popey, "Please note that Unstable PPA is broken at the moment and will be broken for some time until I refactor some of the source code. ETA unknown. :)" | 12:47 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: well, is flash working? | 12:47 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: just open console and sudo service lightdm stop | 12:47 |
| acer-ubuntu | L3top: i thought ubuntu is easier than windows | 12:47 |
| BitPuffin | popey, oh nice. Thank you incredibly much! | 12:47 |
| popey | BitPuffin: i think that might be outdated | 12:47 |
| popey | BitPuffin: i use the unstable branch here | 12:47 |
| popey | BitPuffin: thanks for spotting that, will let the dev know | 12:47 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: BRB - have to plug in modem into computer that runs Ubuntu. :) | 12:47 |
| BitPuffin | popey, So I can just add the ppa then? | 12:47 |
| popey | yes BitPuffin | 12:47 |
| Darael | L3top: Lightdm is an Upstart job, so to be picky, that ought to be "sudo stop lightdm", although thy version should also work. | 12:48 |
| BitPuffin | Okay cheers, you just saved my day popey! | 12:48 |
| BitPuffin | I love kazam but it hasn't saved to the right formats until now! | 12:49 |
| DylanJV | can someone please help me i am trying to install ubuntu on windows but i want ubuntu to be run aside windows | 12:49 |
| L3top | acer-ubuntu: easier is a relative term. If you are used to windows methodology, you may not find it easier, it is certainly more robust and secure... but you are grabbing a 3 day old release without all the bugs worked out. Sometimes windows releases dont work on hardware they should either... see Vista. | 12:49 |
| L3top | thank you for the correction Darael... you are, of course, correct. | 12:49 |
| blurp | .. dylan.. go download a virtual machine like MobaLiveCD and use it to emulate an iso in windows. | 12:49 |
| popey | BitPuffin: yay. drop by #kazam for help, bigwhale is the developer | 12:49 |
| BitPuffin | popey, Strange. Don't see any .avi ? | 12:49 |
| blurp | It will actuall emulate any iso, not just live ones. | 12:49 |
| z3bra | Mmmh first issue with the pangolin ! ^^ My conky dont display the date with ${execi 3600 date +%A %e} | 12:50 |
| DylanJV | i already have daemon tools which can create a virtual disk already | 12:50 |
| blurp | I'm actually running vector 6.0 light in a virtual maching right now, but usng xchat from windows. | 12:50 |
| blurp | works great. | 12:50 |
| L3top | DylanJV: You are trying to install ubuntu in a vm inside of windows? Or you want to dual boot to either windows or ubuntu? | 12:51 |
| Daghdha | Hello. After upgrading from 10.04-> 11.. -> 12.04 this weekend i seem to have lost my Transmission client. It was in the start menu. | 12:51 |
| Darael | DylanJV: Couldst thou be a little more specific? By "run alongside windows", what exactly dost mean? | 12:51 |
| Daghdha | I see 6 transmission-xxxxxxx executables on the commandline but i have no idea wich one it is, does anyone know wich one the client is? | 12:51 |
| myhero | now that ubuntu 12.04 is out what about xubuntu and kubuntu ? | 12:51 |
| Daghdha | ihave: -cli -create -edit -gtk -remote and -show | 12:52 |
| blurp | I believeth he means to host it, but he couldst meanteth to bual booteth. | 12:52 |
| KM0201 | myhero: sometimes they run a few days behind (sometimes) | 12:52 |
| DylanJV | i want windows as my main OS but i want ubuntu too but i would like ubuntu to run while i still have windows | 12:52 |
| Darael | Daghdha: It's transmission-gtk - but why not upgrade directly? LTS->LTS upgrades are supposed to be possible in one step. Indeed, I just did my server in a single one. | 12:52 |
| myhero | km2010:ok | 12:52 |
| L3top | Daghdha: click the ubnutu button top left and type in transmission, right click on what comes up and put it on the unity bar | 12:52 |
| Daghdha | Becausei am an idiot :) Thank you Dareal | 12:52 |
| Darael | blurp: Art mocking my choice to use singular second-person pronouns? The T-V distinction is silly. | 12:53 |
| Daghdha | thank you L3top | 12:53 |
| Daghdha | Still have to get used to that | 12:53 |
| * Marsjanin back, installing flash | 12:53 | |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: did that not work? | 12:53 |
| L3top | Darael: until there is a point release it is not available without adding the -d switch in terminal... is probably why | 12:53 |
| FishFace | Wacom tablet not detected. 12.04. Blue light is one. CTL470 model. Ideas? | 12:53 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: wait a moment | 12:53 |
| Darael | L3top: So /that/'s why I had to add -d. Interesting. Did not know that. | 12:54 |
| steveccc | why did ubuntu move to libreoffice - is openoffice dying or is it purely because of Oracles involvement in openoffice? | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | steveccc because it is no longer free as in free speech | 12:54 |
| L3top | LTS strives for maximum stability, until they get a big bug fix out there, it is not directly available. | 12:54 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest7166 | ||
| blurp | What other good linux rooms are there on this server? | 12:55 |
| Darael | steveccc: Oracle said, at least at one point, that they were ceasing development of OO.o. I believe that was a factor. | 12:55 |
| steveccc | monkeydust: are they equivalent in terms of functions or does libreoffice have to 'catchup' | 12:55 |
| Darael | blurp: Define "good". Also consider asking in -offtopic, where people are more amenable to chat. | 12:55 |

| Darael | !ask | MaskilPDX | 13:00 |
| ubottu | MaskilPDX: 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 | 13:00 |
| mardraum | L3top: he said IRC | 13:00 |
| MaskilPDX | Where is the log of all commands typed in terminal? | 13:00 |
| ikonia | MaskilPDX: "history" | 13:00 |
| fidel_ | MaskilPDX: history | 13:00 |
| L3top | mardraum: you are correct. I am not. | 13:00 |
| Kriss3d | MaskilPDX history but there is no actal log | 13:00 |
| Darael | MaskilPDX: run "history", or look at ~/.bash_history. | 13:00 |
| MaskilPDX | Thank you! | 13:00 |
| Darael | Kriss3d: What's ~/.bash_history, then? | 13:00 |
| ikonia | Kriss3d: apart from .bash_history | 13:00 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: where should be that plugin folder? ~/.mozilla/firefox...where? | 13:01 |
| Kriss3d | Isnt that just the past few lines youve written ? Never looked at it though | 13:01 |
| ikonia | history of your current shell | 13:01 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: create the folder in /home/username/.mozilla (not under /.mozilla/firefox) | 13:01 |
| Kriss3d | k | 13:01 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: come on, and what ~ means? | 13:02 |
| skulltip | when i do an install of 12.04, halfway through the screen goes into zig zags and is unreadable. when i try it out, unity makes it unusable.. like screen buffers not being updated correctly. i have onboard video and a six year old pc | 13:02 |
| Darael | MaskilPDX: For reference, running "history" is more portable across shells - for example, I use zsh, so my log is in ~/.zhistory instead. | 13:02 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: huh? | 13:02 |
| skulltip | it makes it really hard to keep my mom in ubuntu | 13:02 |
| MonkeyDust | Marsjanin ~ means /home/your_user | 13:02 |
| Marsjanin | ~ goes /home/user/ | 13:02 |
| Marsjanin | Righr | 13:02 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: well if you're so smart, why are you here askijhnjg for help on a really simple issue? | 13:03 |
| L3top | Kriss3d: type history. history | grep "pattern" is particularly helpful when doing oddball svn etc. | 13:03 |
| Marsjanin | Argh | 13:03 |
| Kriss3d | ok ty | 13:03 |
| Darael | Marsjanin: Strictly speaking it doesn't always, but for the purposes of real users on Ubuntu when the sysadmin hasn't done certain unusual things, ~ is, indeed, /home/$USER | 13:03 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: Because im my opinion devs broke something, that worked good. | 13:03 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: in my opinion you have no idea what you're talking about | 13:04 |
| Marsjanin | OK, calm... | 13:04 |
| mn_ | Hi guys! :D I was just upgrading to 12.04 and the install botched. It had been sitting at the same spot for about two days so I unplugged it and let it run out of battery. Now, the system won't work. I have a liveCD to use to help fix it, but I have NO IDEA what to do or even where to start. Would someone PLEASE help me? | 13:04 |
| jthing | mn_: failed how? | 13:05 |
| kx | mn_: welcome to the ubuntu experience. get used to it. if you dont know where to start, trust me, the process will be a nightmare for you. youre probably better of clean installing | 13:05 |
| mn_ | jthing: it hung during the install so I let it run out of battery. So I guess I would say it lost power while upgrading | 13:05 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: So OK, i open the folder /home/my/.mozilla, there are folders firefox and extensions. | 13:05 |
| ud3770 | hello i want restore grub how can i do it? | 13:05 |
| beeju | how to configure splash screen on 12.04? | 13:06 |
| Darael | mn_: That wasn't the best of moves. We'll try to help, of course, but for future reference there's almost always some way to get a responding system back. Now then, one option is to boot the live cd, mount the filesystem from the host, and chroot to it. I can walk thee through that. | 13:06 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: listening is not y our strong point, i have explained this 3x... inside .mozilla, create a folder called plugins, and paste the libflashplayer.so , inside there. | 13:06 |
| mn_ | kx: I can't clean install. I'm pretty technically proficient. I know this is how it can be from time to time, but that's fine with me. Do you have any constructive suggestions? | 13:06 |
| Daiz| | Is there anyway to turn on wi-fi in recovery console? | 13:06 |
| Vessel | Hello. | 13:07 |
| jthing | mn_what kx sais is true. The clean verion installs with no problems. Upgrading is always a nightmare. And 1204 has LTS Long Term Support so it is more stable and is supported for 3 years | 13:07 |
| mn_ | Darael: Yes, please. I tried to chroot, but that didn't work. I would love for you to walk me through it please | 13:07 |
| Darael | Daiz|: Assuming the choice of "netroot" rather than "root", it's a case of looking up the wifi management commands (I'm afraid I don't remember them offhand). | 13:07 |
| Vessel | Well.. | 13:07 |
| MonkeyDust | mn_ did you try do-release-upgrade? | 13:07 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: sorry for that, I could not notice while going from one computer to another. I'll create and have to go due Firefox restart. | 13:07 |
| ud3770 | How can i restore grub? | 13:07 |
| MonkeyDust | !grub| ud3770 | 13:07 |
| ubottu | ud3770: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 13:07 |
| dschuett | why can't i arrange icons in the unity launcher on 12.04? - when i try to drag an icon it moves the entire set of icons. - running in virtual box | 13:07 |
| mn_ | MonkeyDust: No, I haven't heard of that. Would you please briefly explain? | 13:07 |
| Darael | mn_: First things first, the chroot will only be useful if the liveCD is the same architecture (32- or 64-bit) as the system to be rescued. | 13:08 |
| kx | mn_: that was the most constructive suggeston you'll get. starting off with admitting you dont know where to start, i did you a favor. if you want to go through the process, boot to livecd, chroot into your old installation and use dpkg-reconfigure -a, apt-get -f install and dpkg -i to get your half installation attempted to work. when that fails (and it will) do the clean install | 13:08 |
| Vessel | Anyone knows any kind of explanation of why the H*** the LiveCD donesnt load if i set the AHCI mode ON ( in Bios) Grub shows, but an error about "you need to load the kernel first" is shown also. | 13:08 |
| Night_Elf | Hi all. I have installed ubunty server in a system. As soon as the most basic installation was done, now I connect to it using ssh. I intend to use it as a host for virtual machines using kvm. Yet some message is displayed complaning about a framebuffer device (/dev/fb0). What does that mean ? | 13:08 |
| L3top | mn_: I have seen several installs hang on the flashplugin install. Did your attempt to chroot result in a chroot: cannot run command `/bin/ bash': Exec format error? | 13:08 |
| Dr_willis | dschuett, click and hold for a moment, then you can rearange | 13:08 |
| MonkeyDust | mn_ it's like apt-get blah, in a terminal, type do-release-upgrade, you'll have to confirm two or three questions | 13:08 |
| mn_ | L3top yes | 13:08 |
| Darael | mn_: do-release-upgrade is the way one launches the release upgrader from the command line. | 13:08 |
| skulltip | i guess no developers try to install it on older computers with onboard video | 13:09 |
| Darael | kx: That is not a helpful attitude. Besides, it's not true that chrooting and doing the various package-fixes will definitely fail. | 13:09 |
| jthing | mn_what machine are you talking from | 13:09 |
| mn_ | I'm talking from a different machine. | 13:10 |
| L3top | mn very odd. Can you boot to live cd and WITHOUT MOUNTING, run sudo fsck -f /dev/sdxy (where xy is your drive letter and partition number) | 13:10 |
| mn_ | I'm on my desktop. My lappy is the one with the problem. I am on a livecd on it right now | 13:10 |

| gaelfx | my two-finger scrolling is working in other applications, but not in nautilus, any ideas why that might be? | 13:11 |

| jin24 | so guys since updating to 2.6.32-41-generic on lucid im having problems with my external harddrive, i store music on it and whenever i listen to it for some time it stops and exaile and parts of the gnome ui freeze. here is the syslog of it : http://paste.ubuntu.com/957439/ so can somebody tell me what this means ? :) | 13:11 |
| MonkeyDust | ud3770 in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l -- if you're not sure, use pastebin to show it to the channel | 13:11 |
| Night_Elf | mn_: So you're wanting to chroot to a system by using a liveCD into it, and you can't? Check that both the system in the disk (where you want to chroot to) and the liveCD are both the same kernel, in the sense that either both 33bit, either both 64bit. | 13:11 |
| mn_ | One moment. How do I check the architecture of the OS I am currently running. I wanna make sure this live OS is the same arch as the botched system | 13:11 |
| varikonniemi | hello, i just installed an 12.04 server, and tried to add virtualbox guest additions | 13:11 |
| Night_Elf | 32bit* | 13:12 |
| varikonniemi | when i mount the image i get a foledr in /dev/cdrom/ | 13:12 |
| gaelfx | mn_: uname -a | 13:12 |
| varikonniemi | that is empty | 13:12 |
| kx | Darael: it's absolutely a helpful attitude. more people should approach ubuntu problems this way. it will actualyl save many wasted hours, a terrible attitude toward the ubuntu upgrade process (though it's deserved) etc. he's asking for step by step instructions to even do a chroot. this will fail for sure especially since glibc was updated and installs improperly and upgrades that finish even properly to 12.04 | 13:12 |
| L3top | Night_Elf: this is the 4th instance of this exact circumstance I have seen for 1204 in the last 3 days. | 13:12 |
| Darael | mn_: do a "uname -a" and look for "amd64" or "i686". | 13:12 |
| minimec | gaelfx: I cannot confirm your problem. Two finger scrolling is working for me in nautilus. Maybe you find something in the nautilus settings. Otherwise try to remove/rename the .config/nautilus folder once . | 13:12 |
| nishttal2 | hi has anyone been able to setup multiple monitors (more than 2) on 12.04 | 13:12 |
| Vessel | Hello, Anyone knowswhy the LiveCD does not load with AHCI mode ON? Grub is shown, but the options on the menu gives me errors like " you need to load the kernel first" No info on google, nor askubuntu :( | 13:12 |
| kx | Darael: *installs improperly even from upgrades that finished properly to 12.04 | 13:13 |
| L3top | Night_Elf Darael all have been using the live dvd that they installed from. | 13:13 |
| nishttal2 | i had a perfectly functional setup at 10.10 and now i only have 1 monitor.. the other 2 are whiteout | 13:13 |
| Night_Elf | L3top: I have seen it with 10.4 too. A friend had installed a 64 bit system. When we tried to LiveCD in it and then do a chroot, we could not do that. | 13:13 |
| Marsjanin | The Flash still don't work, I even tried to precise, what program Fx have to use to open it. | 13:13 |
| === ungaran is now known as S0x181 | ||
| Darael | L3top: What? | 13:13 |
| gaelfx | minimec: it was working, but it just suddenly stopped, I'll try killing it and restarting | 13:13 |
| mn_ | Damn. Okay. This is 32-bit and my botched OS is 64-bit. I'll be back in a bit when I have a 64-bit liveCD up and running an instance on my lappy. I'll stay in channel while I'm doing that. I just won't be active unless someone says something to me with my name for alert. | 13:13 |
| Night_Elf | L3top: Not for flamebaiting... but for things like these is the reason that my servers are Debian . | 13:14 |
| ud3770 | MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.ca/2142216 | 13:14 |
| L3top | Night_Elf: it is almost always a 32/64 bit problem when I see that error... however this hang on flashplugin then reboot and cant chroot has not been. In fact swapping to another drive assignment fixes it. | 13:14 |
| joseph_ | Ok computer booting into a blank screen after nvidia driver installation, Can I get help please? | 13:14 |
| georgelappies | how does one clear the recent history in the HUD? | 13:14 |
| kx | joseph_: what version and from what repository | 13:15 |
| Darael | L3top: I'm talking to mn_ about using a chroot to fix a failed upgrade. I don't see what the live DVD someone installed from has to do with that? | 13:15 |
| Your_Dog | hi is anyone here good or atleast knowledgable about bash scripting? | 13:15 |
| L3top | It is most certainly a bug. If mn_ comes back I will try and get some logs. I cannot reproduce it. | 13:15 |

| ThePendulum | Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu on a laptop. However, it boots and shows the purple screen for a short amount of time, before going black. If I boot in recovery mode, only half the screen is "usable" (lots of graphical artifacts). This last graphics mode was already present during installation, but I hoped it would fix itself after the installation. I've tried booting with nomodeset, but it didn't help. I have no idea what graphics card | 13:15 |
| Pici | Your_Dog: #bash would be the best place to ask. | 13:15 |
| mn_ | Yo guys the architecture was wrong to chroot. That's what caused the problem I think. | 13:15 |
| Your_Dog | ok thanks Pici | 13:15 |
| Your_Dog | join #Bash | 13:15 |
| Your_Dog | oops | 13:15 |
| gaelfx | minimec: ok, I was wrong, it's not working in most things, just Skype and Chrome it seems to work (weird eh?) | 13:15 |
| joseph_ | ok hold on, I'm not on that computer.. | 13:15 |
| ud3770 | MonkeyDust: no, first is windows partition and second is just a place to save files | 13:16 |
| Darael | mn_: Sounds likely, yes. Don't forget to mount any extra filesystems once thou hast the chroot! | 13:16 |
| KM0201 | ThePendulum: did you try removing "quiet splash" from the grub line, to see where it's hanging up. | 13:16 |
| Night_Elf | Darael: 32/64 bit differences. You boot from a 32 bit live cd and then you try to chroot where a 64 bit system is, this will fail. Your 32 bit livecd kernel will not function with nothing on the 64 bit chroot place, where the libs and everything else are compiled 64 bit. | 13:16 |
| Vessel | Hello, Anyone knows why the LiveCD does not load with AHCI mode ON? Grub is shown, but the options on the menu gives me errors like " you need to load the kernel first" No info on google, nor askubuntu :( | 13:16 |
| L3top | Darael: I was simply saying, that this, I believe, is a bug... as I have encountered it several times since 1204 release with other users, and that while normally I would agree that it is probably a 64/32 versioning issue, the reason I knew the error it gave is because I believe this to be a bug. That is all. | 13:16 |
| ThePendulum | KM0201: Removing it is interesting. What will I see/notice? | 13:16 |
| mn_ | Darael: Why do I need to mount extra fss? | 13:16 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: That did not the trick :( Even if pointing in FIrefox' options, what to use to open swf. | 13:16 |
| KM0201 | ThePendulum: well, when it stops, that will presumably show you where it's failing. | 13:16 |
| sfears | ThePendulum: it may be a refresh rate issue, are you using an LCD monitor? | 13:17 |
| KM0201 | Marsjanin: i dunno, you're pretty smart, you'll figure it out. | 13:17 |
| beeju | how to configure splash screen on 12.04 | 13:17 |
| Darael | mn_: I refer to any that thou hast on other disks. Most dont, but if thou /hast/ I wouldn't want thee to forget. | 13:17 |
| ThePendulum | KM0201: Ubuntu itself continues though, the screen just goes black (or half in Recovery mode). According to the sounds the laptop makes, Ubuntu is still running. | 13:17 |
| Darael | L3top: Ah, I see. | 13:17 |
| Darael | Night_Elf: I'm aware of that. That's why I directed mn_ to check architecture. | 13:17 |
| joseph_ | I posted it on linuxquestions.org but no one answered yet and I don't know how to get the information you asked for without having access to the other computer. | 13:17 |
| KM0201 | ThePendulum: hmm | 13:17 |
| Marsjanin | KM0201: OK, man, OK... :/ | 13:17 |
| kx | joseph_: is it nvidia | 13:17 |
| Night_Elf | I have installed ubunty server in a system. As soon as the most basic installation was done, now I connect to it using ssh. I intend to use it as a host for virtual machines using kvm. Yet some message is displayed complaning about a framebuffer device (/dev/fb0). What does that mean ? | 13:17 |
| gaelfx | Darael: did you just go medeival on someone? | 13:18 |
| sfears | i started having issues with the refresh rate since 11.10 ThePendulum, and i'm not sure how to set the refresh rate pre-kde | 13:18 |
| joseph_ | yes | 13:18 |
| beeju | how to configure splash screen on 12.04 | 13:18 |
| minimec | gaelfx: What are the mouse/touchpad settings in the ubuntu settings. Could you check if at least the 'edge scrolling' setting is working? | 13:18 |
| Darael | gaelfx: No. I use singular second-person pronouns because the T-V distinction is silly, and also because I'm a Quaker. | 13:18 |
| sfears | do you have an alternate monitor you can try using to troubleshoot ThePendulum? | 13:18 |
| joseph_ | I used "additional drivers" in Kubuntu 12.04 and now it won't go past the bios screen. | 13:18 |
| gaelfx | minimec: will do | 13:18 |
| ThePendulum | sfears: It was one of my final sollutions, I guess that's where I end up now. I doubt it's a refresh rate issue btw. I've seen too high refresh rates before, and it looks nothing like it. | 13:19 |
| sfears | joseph_: if you hold down the shift key at boot does it show the grub menu and can you boot into recovery mode? | 13:19 |
| kx | joseph_: downgrade to 295.33 driver. ubuntu routinely puts unstable and nonfunctional garbage in its repositories, and there is a known nvidia bug in its latest driver that causes this for much hardware, stitting in the 'stable' repository right now, so downgrading can help you a lot | 13:19 |
| ale` | hi, when my laptop (a thinkpad t61) resumes after sleep, the brightness controls don't work anymore. Any clue how to fix this? | 13:19 |
| joseph_ | I didn't know about the shift key, I'll do that, thank you. newbie here obviously | 13:20 |
| gaelfx | minimec: edge-scrolling works on nothing, not even chrome or skype | 13:20 |
| sfears | if a different monitor displays corectly then i'd say refresh rate ThePendulum | 13:20 |
| L3top | mn_: Please unmount the drive, run fsck -f /dev/sda1 (or whatever your drive is... ) and see if that finds errors, repairs them, and suddenly chroot is available. I cannot reproduce this error. | 13:20 |
| ThePendulum | sfears: It's worth a try none the less, thanks for the suggestion | 13:20 |
| gaelfx | minimec: scratch that, it works on chrome and skype, but not others | 13:21 |
| mn_ | No I already fsck'd it. It said it was clear | 13:21 |
| joseph_ | holding shift key isn't working sfears | 13:21 |
| L3top | So weird... | 13:21 |
| L3top | ty mn_ | 13:21 |
| Darael | L3top: We /did/ establish that the architectures were different. Last I heard, mn_ had gone to get a 64-bit liveCD. | 13:21 |
| L3top | well there you go... I clearly missed that | 13:21 |
| L3top | So this is not that. | 13:22 |
| kx | see you guys in 8 hours when he just clean installs :) | 13:22 |
| kx | haha | 13:22 |
| minimec | gaelfx: ok. I don't know if I can really help you. You would have to figure out what kind of touchpad you are using and what driver. All I can say is, that synaptics based touchpads are working well, atleast on two machines I configured for 12.04. | 13:22 |
| joseph_ | kx, I'll do that once I can get in. I need to login using fail safe but can't get it to the log in screen. | 13:22 |
| beeju | how to configure splash screen on 12.04 | 13:22 |
| L3top | kx do you have a support related question, or are you just here to troll? | 13:22 |

| APoulos | Here's my computer stats and what I'm running at: http://i.imgur.com/LusPy.png | 13:24 |
| Darael | APoulos: There are a /lot/ of options. Depends what thou'rt after. If Thunderbird is too heavy, Evolution is right out, but there's still plenty of choices. Have a browse of the software-center. | 13:24 |
| Tinti | joseph_: add 'single' to grub | 13:24 |
| joseph_ | no it works fine, now I can't get to it for some reason | 13:24 |

| Tinti | joseph_: remove also the quiet and splash | 13:26 |
| APoulos | OH | 13:26 |
| APoulos | speaking of which | 13:26 |
| ThePendulum | An external monitor shows the same issue, so it's not a refresh rate issue | 13:26 |
| APoulos | joseph_: a good editor for GRUB menu - GRUB Customizer - it helps a lot | 13:26 |
| APoulos | Just throwing that out there | 13:27 |
| shadykhan | is there a way to remove chat/gwibber from the mail icon on the top right? | 13:29 |
| gaelfx | minimec: restart solved the issue. still wish I knew what exactly caused it though, do you know what I could look for in the logs? just synaptics? | 13:29 |
| Darael | shadykhan: Remove gwibber? I think the package is gwibber-service. Ditto for Empathy. That might cause dependency problems with ubuntu-desktop, though. | 13:30 |
| nishtta2 | hi when i go to Ubuntu recovery and drop to root prompt.. why is it giving me a READONLY file system? | 13:30 |
| joseph_ | that would be a great advise, but I can't log in | 13:30 |
| minimec | gaelfx: Don't know really, as the touchpad is handled by the xserver. It would probably be some X error. | 13:30 |
| Salamander | Hello Im trying to insall a motorolla modem in my pentium II runing ubuntu server. The thing is that I need slamr driver, and here is the page to download it " http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ " but I dont know what version tu use since my uname -r --> 3.2.0-23-generic-pae. | 13:30 |
| joseph_ | can't boot | 13:30 |
| Dr_willis | nishtta2, i belive the recovery menu has some 'remount as read write' option | 13:30 |
| Darael | joseph_: Is there an option before choosing to drop to root involving the word "mount"? Choose that, first. | 13:30 |
| joseph_ | now it boots from the cd saying.. select cd-rom boot type: wtHeck??? | 13:31 |
| Darael | joseph_: Apologies. | 13:31 |
| gaelfx | minimec: yikes, that probably won't be so easy to find | 13:31 |
| Darael | nishtta2: See my previous remark accidentally addressed to joseph_. | 13:31 |

| nishtta2 | Darel i see | 13:31 |
| nishtta2 | Dareal will try that.. thanks | 13:31 |
| Darael | georgelappies: If the developer hasn't written that functionality in, and there's no plugin, then thou'lt have to modify the source and submit a patch. | 13:32 |
| Darael | georgelappies: Or write a plugin, if XChat has those. | 13:32 |
| Tinti | to get rw rootfs | 13:32 |
| Tinti | mount -o remount,rw / | 13:32 |
| Darael | nishtta2: There /is/ another option, which is what Tinti just said. | 13:32 |
| gaelfx | note to self: dmesg | grep x is a baaaaad idea | 13:32 |
| nishtta2 | Darael no there is no such option.. resume, clean, dpkg, failsafeX, fsck grub network root system-summary | 13:32 |

| Tinti | Darael: sorry it is true, it is just that once I have made changes in the fs and they were not applied unless I umount it manually. Since I cant umount it, remount it as readonly is enough | 13:40 |
| Darael | designbybeck: Ah. How unhelpful. | 13:40 |
| skulltip | this is for a normal user, not a nerd or power user | 13:40 |
| designbybeck | that's what I was thinking Darael ;) | 13:40 |
| joseph_ | ok guys, I need to get into recovery mode, I held down the shift key during boot, it only flashed and went back to blank screen. Anything else I can try? I also tried the cd, but only installation options are available. | 13:40 |
| Darael | Tinti: Running sync ought to do that? | 13:40 |
| skulltip | or can i install from the default cd without using whatever nouveau or other driver is causing me grief | 13:41 |
| pratz | hey guys please help me out of this, I am being trying this for hour now, I just can not install u12.04 | 13:42 |
| pratz | the installer gives me a error message | 13:42 |
| Darael | !elaborate | pratz | 13:42 |
| ubottu | pratz: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 13:42 |
| Darael | Hmm, maybe I'm a little to twitchy on the !elaborate. | 13:42 |
| pratz | installer says "Installer encounter Internal Error" that's it | 13:43 |
| Darael | Not to mention apparently incapable of grammar. | 13:43 |
| pratz | guys please any one ? | 13:43 |

| Simon1245 | iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/957504/ | 13:44 |
| kx | joseph_: presss escape over and over, you may have grub installed and set to hide menu till you press esc | 13:44 |
| pratz | pratz: i can successfully install debian on the same machine | 13:44 |
| nitzs | Simon1245: it's 12.04 alright. | 13:44 |
| johnm | kx: joseph_: and by esc, I think kx means hold down shift :) | 13:44 |
| joseph_ | I just tried that kx and it did the same thing, only flashed and back to blank again. johnm I tried the shift as well, no go. | 13:45 |
| Darael | L3top: No, it wasn't. I was referring to 'to' as opposed to "too". | 13:45 |
| Simon1245 | nitzs, No misstakes at all? Also if you update it while being on it does it get you everything you would have if you downloaded it from a CD? | 13:45 |
| L3top | I meant of the factoid. | 13:45 |
| iceroot | Simon1245: seems fine so far but i dont get why the unity-scope..package is hold back | 13:45 |
| joseph_ | I am google searching while chatting, but no help | 13:45 |
| Darael | L3top: Ah. Right. Yes. My brain is clearly falling apart. | 13:46 |
| Simon1245 | iceroot, What does that do? | 13:46 |
| nitzs | pratz: maybe you should try the alternate install cd. | 13:46 |
| iceroot | !info unity-scope-musicstores | 13:46 |

| nitzs | Simon1245: yes. | 13:46 |
| pratz | nitzs: dude i just burned the alternative iso cd | 13:46 |
| iceroot | is that package installed by default on ubuntu 12.04? | 13:46 |
| Vessel | Im getting Two errors trying to load the LiveCD : "error: couldn't read file" AND "error: you need to load the kernel first" Since Ubuntu is not installed, i have no way of trroobleshooting it, because i CANT install. I think its caused by something related to acpi mode in bios, Someone can help me with this? | 13:46 |
| pratz | why ? why ? it is happing to me | 13:46 |
| Tinti | Darael: Yeah, I think this is a very good option. But I believe that remounting is safer. | 13:46 |
| kx | johnm: shit does the same thing? | 13:46 |
| Simon1245 | nitzs, iceroot What's winbind btw, I'm getting problem after it tells me to download it for some reason :S | 13:47 |
| pratz | is there a bug in the installer ? | 13:47 |
| L3top | Language kx. | 13:47 |
| johnm | Vessel: there was actually a poorly built iso, it migth have been you downloaded the wrong one. I'd say download it again and try again. | 13:47 |
| Darael | Tinti: I will grant that remounting ro prevents any mistakes making it to disk afterward. | 13:47 |
| iceroot | Simon1245: winbind is the most buggy software out there... its coming normally with wine and is doing the network/samba stuff | 13:47 |
| johnm | L3top: he meant shift, nothing to do with his language :) | 13:47 |
| kx | johnm: shift* does the same thing? | 13:47 |
| Vessel | Ohm. | 13:48 |
| Vessel | johnm: Ohm | 13:48 |
| Simon1245 | iceroot, Ah okay | 13:48 |
| johnm | kx: holding down shift is grub-2's modifier to bring up the boot meny | 13:48 |
| johnm | menu* | 13:48 |
| Vessel | johnm: i'll give a try right now. thanks. | 13:48 |
| kx | johnm: ah. esc works as well my friend | 13:48 |
| iceroot | Simon1245: so its nothing bad at all that winbind gets installed | 13:48 |
| johnm | Vessel: check the md5 sums match before burning it to a cd :) | 13:48 |
| Vessel | johnm: For sure. | 13:48 |
| Simon1245 | iceroot, It doesn't it crashes and then sends a report back somewhere | 13:48 |
| johnm | kx: only if the timer is set to something other than 0. if its not set to wait, then the only way to interrupt it is with the modifier (shift). | 13:49 |
| Simon1245 | iceroot, Anyways, I'll just forget about it :) | 13:49 |
| iceroot | Simon1245: winbind itself? | 13:49 |
| Simon1245 | iceroot, Yeah | 13:49 |
| kx | johnm: oh interesting | 13:49 |

| pratz | Darael: I am trying to do a fresh ubuntu install on installed debian and i guess this is possible | 13:55 |
| z3bra | Where is the mimetype file on ubuntu please ? | 13:55 |
| venerabl13 | Hi, which is the difference between: Main officialy supported software & Main Sources Repository here www.repogen.symplylinux.ch | 13:55 |
| nitzs | pratz: have you formatted your debian partiton before installing ubuntu over it? | 13:55 |
| pratz | nitzs: yes | 13:55 |
| Darael | pratz: What, exactly, dost thou mean? Please explain thy process. | 13:55 |
| Simon1245 | iceroot, Hey, I keep getting those crash things, is there anyway to update the ubuntu again with all the new packages without interupting it this time? | 13:56 |
| pratz | Darael: I had installed debian , then i formatted that with ubuntu 12.04 cd and during installation the installer crashes | 13:56 |
| joseph_ | guys please, booting from the cd, how do I get to a boot prompt so I can follow the instructions I found? their booting from cd isn't working. I do not have that option for a command prompt | 13:56 |
| L3top | pratz: there is not enough information to go on. The error message you describe is not particularly helpful. Is there a file system? Does it get that far? Are there logs you can look at? | 13:56 |
| pratz | what should i do not guys ? | 13:56 |
| Darael | pratz: In that case, the pre-existence of debian probably isn't relevant. Sorry, I thought thou hadst tried to take a functioning debian install and use the Ubuntu repositories to turn it into Ubuntu, which really wouldn't work. | 13:56 |
| chandru_in | In 12.04 hibernate is disabled by default. Hibernation used to work fine with 11.10. I tried pm-hibernate and exists without any output and an exit code of 1 | 13:57 |
| chandru_in | How can I enable hibernation back? | 13:57 |
| pratz | L3top: there is no helpfull error message displayed, then how can i give you ? | 13:57 |
| Darael | pratz: See the query about "are there logs you can look at" for an answer to thy question. | 13:57 |
| joseph_ | or better yet, I'm in the file folder, how do I remove that driver? | 13:57 |
| L3top | pratz: I again, ask, is there a file system? Can you look at it with a live cd, and look through anything in /var/log | 13:57 |
| Daekdroom | chandru_in, http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation-in-12-04 | 13:58 |
| chandru_in | Daekdroom, that's how I got to know about pm-hibernate | 13:58 |
| pratz | L3top: there is not file system now, the harddisk is completed formatted | 13:58 |
| mn_ | L3top Darael I'm back, what is it that I should do? I just chroot'd the system with the failed install. What now? | 13:58 |
| Daekdroom | chandru_in, that same page tells you how to make it permanent. | 13:58 |
| Darael | mn_: The chroot went through? | 13:58 |
| === jsoa_ is now known as jsoa | ||
| mn_ | Darael Yes sir | 13:59 |
| chandru_in | Daekdroom, the point is pm-hibernate does not try to hibernate and exits with code 1 | 13:59 |
| mn_ | or ma'am | 13:59 |
| L3top | So pratz, it errors immediately when trying to install? | 13:59 |
| nitzs | pratz: where exactly does the installer crash? | 13:59 |
| pratz | guys this is really furstating now, 10 hrs guys! | 13:59 |
| chandru_in | I'm not sure why | 13:59 |
| Darael | mn_: Great. I would suggest running "dpkg --configure -a" as a start. And it's neither "sir" nor "ma'am" - I don't use titles :P | 13:59 |
| L3top | mn_: dpkg --configure -a | 13:59 |
| pratz | nitzs: when the installer asks for the country ( for time zone ) | 13:59 |
| Simon1245 | Hey guys, is there anyway to redownload Ubuntu 12.04? Without having to do it via a CD as it tells me it'll wipe everything | 13:59 |
| pratz | nitzs: Intaller says "Where are you from" or something like that | 14:00 |
| Darael | Simon1245: Thou'lt need to elaborate a bit. What dost meant by "redownload" exactly? | 14:00 |
| mn_ | Haha okay then Darael :) I'll run that command and see what happens guys | 14:00 |
| L3top | pratz: I would suspect the disk. Can you run the check cd utility? | 14:00 |
| auronandace | Simon1245: wipe everything? | 14:00 |
| Simon1245 | Darael, I mean re install, I've messed it up and I keep getting up a lot of crashing messages, like basically reupgrade | 14:01 |
| fusk | What does it mean when a package in the software center says it's a dummy package ? | 14:01 |
| pratz | L3top: but i just now burned another disk, same thing | 14:01 |
| DarsVaeda | anyone with a two monitor setup using unity? how do I get rid of the second side panel on the second monitor? | 14:01 |
| compdoc | pratz, are you installing to an SSD? | 14:01 |
| pratz | compdoc: what is SSD ? | 14:01 |
| Simon1245 | auronandace, I don't want to wipe everything, I want to re install ubuntu 12.04 without losing anything because it keeps getting me crash messages and stuff like that | 14:01 |
| compdoc | nm | 14:01 |
| usr13 | pratz: I find installing from USB less problematic / easier | 14:01 |
| pratz | compdoc: it is 320gb hard disk | 14:01 |
| L3top | Did you burn it on the slowest speed possible? I mean... if you aren't going to follow the advice given, I don't really know why you are here jumping up and down like a Jack Russell terrier. | 14:01 |
| Darael | Simon1245: Ah, I see. Well, if thou takest the manual partitioning option using the install CD, and choose to use the old root filesystem for / but /not/ to format it, it'll leave /home alone. Any extra packages will still need reinstalling, but it's a lot better than a full wipe. | 14:01 |
| wN | does anybody else think that's BS? | 14:02 |
| wN | burn at a lower speed? why do they even make faster burners if they're unreliable? | 14:02 |
| minimec | DarsVaeda: Id your GPU supports xrandr, you can disable the launcher in the >settings >displays window | 14:02 |
| mn_ | Okay it told me a lot of packages are not configured yet or there were "dependency problems - leaving unconfigured" and then it told me "errors were encountered while processing: $names_of_packages_with_dependency_problems" | 14:02 |
| gaelfx | wN: because people buy things they think are faster, even if they're less reliable | 14:02 |
| Darael | wN: Faster burners aren't unreliable per se, it's just that lower speeds are /more/ reliable. | 14:02 |
| wN | gaelfx: i dont even think you can find a slow burner anymore | 14:03 |
| usr13 | wN: some prolly are (unreliable at maximum speed). | 14:03 |
| nitzs | wN: it depens upon the media that you are using. | 14:03 |
| Simon1245 | Darael, I got ushare that I don't wanna lose aswell as I can't remember who helped me fix it and it's really usefull for me | 14:03 |
| DarsVaeda | minimec: sorry did not understand | 14:03 |
| wN | i'd rather check an md5sum of the disk rather than reburn slower | 14:03 |
| gaelfx | wN: you can buy _anything_ in China | 14:03 |
| wN | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_on_CD | 14:03 |
| L3top | They make cheap burners wN. Buy a plextor or equiv and it isnt an issue, but you need to slap 40,000 dvd burners in your new dell products, you are buying theoretical burn speeds for 4 dollars each. | 14:03 |
| Darael | Simon1245: What is "ushare"? | 14:03 |
| minimec | DarsVaeda: check <System Settings <Displays | 14:03 |
| usr13 | wN: I'd rather just use a thumb drive :) | 14:03 |

| gaelfx | whoa, cool, didn't know you could underline things that way :D | 14:04 |
| Simon1245 | Darael, It lets you watch movies on Xbox through the computer without having to mess around with usb and shit like that transfering stuff | 14:04 |
| Simon1245 | Even pictures and music works I think but I haven't tried music but pictures works for sure | 14:04 |
| DarsVaeda | minimec: wow cool thats new, thanks! | 14:04 |
| usr13 | wN: Same here, (but you and I have probably only used a limited number of burners and brands of media) | 14:05 |
| minimec | DarsVaeda: it is indeed ;) | 14:05 |
| Darael | mn_: Right. Run it again, but this time send the output to a file (best to include stderr, too) ("sudo dpkg --configure -a 2>&1 | tee /path/to/file"). Pastebin the contents of the file for us and we'll see what can be done. | 14:05 |
| mn_ | Darael L3top Okay it says failed to fetch $update_url something wicked happened resolving us.archive.ubuntu.com:http (-5 -no address associated with hostname) What causes that? | 14:05 |

| Darael | mn_: If that works, try running the one that failed again. Otherwise, we'll need to change thy mirror. | 14:10 |
| usr13 | mn_: pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf #Let us have a look. | 14:10 |
| pythoneles | Abhijit, yeah tried that, it mounts on a tmp dir, but how can i link that to my new user? | 14:11 |
| mn_ | Darael digging that failed | 14:11 |
| Drvanon | hello people, we went from xp to ubuntu (indeed smart choice) but we didn't think about mail and stuff. To make a LOOONNGG story short, i have a .wab file and hope to be able to use it in thunderbird any ideas? | 14:11 |
| joseph_ | l3top, did you see my post? I posted what options the live cd gave me, it was only to install or try kubuntu, nothing about recovery or even a command prompt | 14:11 |
| mn_ | usr13 okay one moment | 14:11 |
| usr13 | mn_: Or decide for yourself if you have a working nameserver at the top of the list. | 14:11 |
| doktah | could anyone please help me with ATI multi displays | 14:12 |
| ThePendulum | Is there a way to create a Windows USB stick from within Ubuntu? | 14:12 |
| usr13 | mn_: If it is your router make sure your router's caching nameserver is turned on. | 14:12 |
| Darael | mn_: But digging other things works, yes? In that case, "sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d" and change mirrors. Removing the "us." is one option - that'll use the central mirror. | 14:12 |
| Abhijit | pythoneles, this my help http://askubuntu.com/questions/113765/recovering-data-from-private-in-an-ecryptfs-backup-when-the-new-home-is-also-enc | 14:12 |
| theadmin | ThePendulum: winusb can work for Vista/7/8 | 14:12 |
| jellow | ~ | 14:12 |
| JayWalker_ | ThePendulum, define "windows usb stick", as in formatted with FAT? | 14:12 |
| Simon1245 | How can I check what partition I got Ubuntu in? | 14:12 |
| mn_ | usr13: all that file contains is a single line that says "# Generated by NetworkManager" | 14:12 |
| ThePendulum | JayWalker_: I mean a USB stick with a Windows installation on it ;) | 14:12 |
| L3top | joseph_: the cd doesnt give you the recovery option... your hd does. I am suggesting a different way, but if you have been trying to get to recovery from cd, then eject it, and boot to hd while pressing shift over and over | 14:12 |
| joseph_ | wow, there is a lot of questions on here today! no wonder I don't get any answers. :( | 14:13 |
| ThePendulum | theadmin: I am trying that one now, but the first attempt resulted in an error. Going to try a second time | 14:13 |
| Abhijit | Simon1245, gparted will show you mount points | 14:13 |
| ThePendulum | joseph_: What is your question? :O | 14:13 |
| usr13 | mn_: echo 8.8.8.8 | cat >> /etc/resolv.conf | 14:13 |
| theadmin | ThePendulum: Are you running it as root? (you have to) | 14:13 |
| usr13 | mn_: echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 | cat >> /etc/resolv.conf | 14:13 |
| Simon1245 | Abhijit, Thanks :( | 14:13 |
| mn_ | Darael: Okay, thank you. Yes, digging google and other sites works. I'll try switching to the central mirror right quick | 14:13 |
| Simon1245 | Abhijit, :)** | 14:13 |
| joseph_ | l3top, I tried that, but it only flashes and goes back to blank screen again. | 14:13 |
| Abhijit | O.o | 14:13 |
| pythoneles | Abhijit, thank you, going to try that | 14:13 |
| mn_ | which one of those to run usr13 | 14:13 |
| Darael | mn_: The latter. | 14:14 |
| usr13 | mn_: In other words, place a valid nameserver in the /etc/resolv.conf and you'll probably do better. | 14:14 |
| ThePendulum | theadmin: It requested my password for certain permissions, but I'll try to start is as root when this fails as well | 14:14 |
| L3top | joseph_: people are giving you answers, you just aren't paying attention. Then BOOT TO THE LIVE CD AND CHROOT INTO THE HD | 14:14 |
| theadmin | ThePendulum: Oh, if it did then it's okay. | 14:14 |
| joseph_ | I am in the live version now and can access my drives, anyway to manually delete that driver? | 14:14 |
| ThePendulum | theadmin: I'm indeed pretty sure that meant it is running as root | 14:14 |
| * L3top walks away | 14:14 | |
| mn_ | Darael that file has nothing in it | 14:14 |
| usr13 | mn_: And check the router's settings, (paying attention to DNS particularly). | 14:15 |
| Darael | mn_: That's because I typo'd. It's a directory. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list (no .d) instead. | 14:15 |
| testi | I want to buy something in the software-center, but it says Payment unsuccessful, reason: 3dsecure. Yes 3d-secure may pop up and ask for additional credentials, but why does it become a unsuccessful reason? Because Software Center is incompatible with VISA? | 14:15 |
| Darael | testi: I agree it's an unhelpful message. Nevertheless, what it means is "3dsecure is indicating failure and I don't know what kind". | 14:16 |
| doktah | could anyone please help me with ATI multi displays | 14:16 |
| Simon1245 | http://tinypic.com/r/2db9r7k/6 :S Which one has Ubuntu in it? | 14:17 |
| Darael | !somebody | doktah | 14:17 |
| ubottu | doktah: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 14:17 |
| testi | Darael, okay - then probably the reason is that it doesn't popup.. | 14:17 |
| kobiluruz | i installed the newest ubuntu today and been playing around a bit with it. for me who has used MS in all my years. this is just awefull to use. not even a start menu :p i saw something called kde that is simmelar to MS, how do i install this ? | 14:17 |
| Vessel | Hello again, Having troubles loading the LiveCD, Grub loads, but try/install options give me two errors : " error: couldn't read file" AND " error: you need to load the kernel first" MD5 is Ok, CD burned a lot of times... | 14:17 |
| Darael | testi: I'm afraid I'm not actually an expert on that. | 14:17 |
| theadmin | !purekde | kobiluruz | 14:17 |
| ubottu | kobiluruz: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » | 14:17 |
| auronandace | Simon1245: sda8, why do you have 3 swap partitions? | 14:18 |
| mn_ | usr13: What would you suggest using as my nameserver | 14:18 |
| joseph_ | ok team, I got into recovery mode. thank you for your help, I'll take it from here! :) | 14:18 |
| Simon1245 | auronandace, No idea :S I haven't made them lol they came automactally I think | 14:18 |
| Darael | kobiluruz: Firstly, give it a chance - it's different, but it's not necessarily bad. Second, Kubuntu is the KDE version of Ubuntu, and theadmin just had the bot provide instructions for that. | 14:18 |
| Darael | mn_: Google public DNS is a reasonable choice: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 | 14:18 |
| doktah | Does anyone have the time to please tell me how to log in as a super user so I can change setting with ati multi displays, thanks. | 14:18 |
| hylian | !linux-crashdump | 14:18 |
| hylian | !crashdump | 14:19 |
| doktah | Does anyone have the time to please tell me how to log in as a super user so I can change setting with ati multi displays? | 14:19 |
| doktah | sorry | 14:19 |
| hylian | worth a try | 14:19 |
| auronandace | !sudo | doktah | 14:19 |
| ubottu | doktah: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 14:19 |
| mn_ | Darael: Both of them? Also, how do I format the resolv.conf file? | 14:19 |
| kobiluruz | Darael, i gave it a try. its bad for me. you know. its hard to teach a old dog new tricks. same goes for me and gui :p | 14:19 |
| Vessel | Hello again, Having troubles loading the LiveCD, Grub loads, but try/install options give me two errors : " error: couldn't read file" AND " error: you need to load the kernel first" MD5 is Ok, CD burned a lot of times... | 14:19 |
| fusk | What's a dummy package, seen in software center. | 14:19 |
| mn_ | Still no good :( | 14:19 |
| hylian | i installed linux-crashdump, but I cannot find how to use it. My acer aspire one crashes if i reboot, it's been that way since 11.10. | 14:19 |
| Darael | kobiluruz: Fair enough, I suppose. Look at the instructions the bot pointed at, then. | 14:20 |
| mn_ | I changed to central mirror and included those IP addresses in the resolv.conf file and I'm still getting the same errors L3top Darael usr13 | 14:20 |
| Darael | mn_: Pastebin the resolv.conf, please? | 14:21 |
| theadmin | fusk: It's a package used simply to provide other packages (as dependencies), mostly for ease-of-use and/or compatibility reasons. | 14:21 |
| mn_ | Okay, I found part of the problem, libc6 needs to be reinstalled, but the ssytem can't find an archive for it | 14:21 |
| Simon1245 | By the way is there any repair option in the cd that I can run while being on it? Like it repairs the whole ubuntu instead of doing a complete reinstall? | 14:22 |
| fusk | theadmin, so it's not just an empty install. | 14:22 |
| Darael | mn_: If it won't download, it's possible to use apt-get download outside the chroot, and stick it in $CHROOT/var/cache/apt/archives. | 14:23 |
| theadmin | fusk: Well, dummy packages normally DO have no content, indeed, they *are* empty pretty much... | 14:23 |
| mn_ | Darael usr13 pastebin.com/SLGxthMV | 14:23 |

| b0ot_ | I created a user with useradd foo admin | 14:23 |
| b0ot_ | however when I tried to do a sudo with that user | 14:23 |
| b0ot_ | it said i wasn't in the sudoers file | 14:23 |
| b0ot_ | 10.04 | 14:23 |
| jrib | b0ot_: yes, you need to add your user to the admin group | 14:24 |
| killer | hi.....is there any way to install unity in other linux distro's | 14:24 |
| theadmin | b0ot_: That's not a valid useradd syntax, it's "adduser foo admin" instead. Don't mess commands (useradd is low-level) | 14:24 |
| LjL | killer: you should ask in the channel for the relevant distro | 14:24 |
| b0ot_ | theadmin: i did adduser... i just mistyped | 14:24 |
| auronandace | killer: there may be, depending on the distro (unity is in aur for archlinux) | 14:24 |
| jrib | b0ot_: you need to log out and back in then | 14:24 |
| lotuspsychje | anyone using nntpgrab? i got some trouble installing | 14:24 |
| theadmin | b0ot_: Oh, okay. When you log in as that user, does "groups" list admin? | 14:25 |
| saml | can I remove gnome-keyring? | 14:25 |
| killer | auronandace: i am using opensuse | 14:25 |
| auronandace | killer: then ask in #opensuse | 14:25 |
| theadmin | saml: If you don't need the password storage mechanism, sure. Please note that NetworkManager won't properly remember wi-fi passwords and such anymore. | 14:25 |
| L3top | mn_: try this... add deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise main restricted universe multiverse and deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse to your /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update | 14:25 |
| b0ot_ | groups? | 14:25 |
| Darael | mn_: Yeah, that resolv.conf won't help. Add a "nameserver " before each IP. | 14:25 |
| joseph_ | ok google isn't helping again! I need to uninstall this nvidia driver using root shell prompt. How do I do that? | 14:25 |
| b0ot_ | my gui section is disabled for users i can only do cli | 14:25 |
| saml | theadmin, i see.. it just prints a lot of WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-cxPsIx/pkcs11: | 14:25 |
| b0ot_ | theadmin: can I just add a line | 14:26 |
| killer | haha.....i went there...they say ...ask in ubuntu ...n in ubuntu"ask in #suse..funny haa:auronandace | 14:26 |
| b0ot_ | foo ALL=(ALL) ALL | 14:26 |
| fusk | theadmin, i see, i thought it would be, so when you see a dummy package, you know that program has to be download frmo their website and installed through terminal, right? | 14:26 |
| minimec | saml: You can change the keyring password to 'blank' (nothing). Like that you will not be prompted for a password. I don't think it's a good idea to uninstall it. | 14:26 |
| b0ot_ | in my sudoers file? | 14:26 |
| theadmin | b0ot_: Why sure. | 14:26 |
| theadmin | b0ot_: Use "visudo" to edit sudoers though | 14:26 |
| auronandace | killer: well, only they can say if they support it | 14:26 |
| saml | I do svn up and it prints that warning from gnome-keyring | 14:26 |
| Darael | mn_: Like so: http://pastebin.com/ncY0XK0K | 14:27 |
| Vessel | Hello again, Having troubles loading the LiveCD, Grub loads, but try/install options give me two errors : " error: couldn't read file" AND " error: you need to load the kernel first" MD5 is Ok, CD burned a lot of times... | 14:27 |
| mn_ | Holy hell. Adding those helped A LOT, but it still failed to resolve 4 of them and more may fail as it continues. It's not done yet | 14:27 |
| Simon1245 | Thanks for help everyone, going to reinstall it :) Bye :) | 14:27 |
| z3bra | How can I set default app to open folders please ? | 14:27 |
| mn_ | Yeah, that time it just failed to resolve 9 instead of all of them usr13 Darael :D | 14:28 |
| L3top | I wouldnt worry about the ones that fail if those mirrors provide the actual packages needed | 14:28 |
| Vessel | Hello again, Having troubles loading the LiveCD, Grub loads, but try/install options give me two errors : " error: couldn't read file" AND " error: you need to load the kernel first" MD5 is Ok, CD burned a lot of times. I cant find any info related on google. | 14:28 |
| L3top | Vessel try and make a bootable thumbdrive instead. USB are prone to a lot fewer failures | 14:29 |
| mn_ | Wow, why did I need to specify nameservers? | 14:29 |
| Darael | !patience | Vessel | 14:29 |
| ubottu | Vessel: 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/ | 14:29 |
| Darael | Vessel: Sounds like it's having trouble loading the kernel, so that it then doesn't like the initrd. | 14:29 |
| mn_ | Why would it not come with some specified. How is it expected to work like that? | 14:29 |
| frybye | Vessel - what speed did you burn the cd at? Did you let the programm check the cd after burning? | 14:29 |
| Darael | mn_: Normally network-manager autogenerates /etc/resolv.conf, but in a chroot it's not running. | 14:30 |
| twoten | I upgraded to 12.04 and lost my wireless, anyone up on wireless repair? | 14:30 |
| Vessel | L3top: Cant use a USB drive instead, i dont have any :/ | 14:30 |
| Darael | !anyone | twoten | 14:30 |
| ubottu | twoten: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 14:30 |
| mn_ | At any rate, this is some progress, and I think this may have me well on my way to fixing the problem. Thanks guys! and Ahh I see | 14:30 |
| L3top | Vessel let go of the 5 dollars. Otherwise follow frybyes advice | 14:30 |
| Vessel | frybye: I've checked the CD, always burned at its lowest, | 14:31 |
| kx | the funniest part about this is all he had to do was copy /etc/resolv.conf from the system into the chroot jail but i've been enjoying watching this anyway. cant wait to see what happens on the dpkg front with my bowl of popcorn | 14:31 |
| twoten | I tried running ifconfig up but it says unknown device for ever variation of wlan, wlan0 etc, How can I find out my device name? | 14:31 |
| minimec | z3bra: ? nautilus would be the default app to open files in ubuntu, like 'nautilus Desktop'. Do you mean that? | 14:31 |
| Vessel | I think this is related to AHCI Mode in Bios, But IDE mode makes the grub to dont load after installation. | 14:31 |
| Darael | kx: That's only what I advocated from the beginning. Why not be helpful instead of snarky? | 14:32 |
| acer-ubuntu | l3top: i am back | 14:32 |
| kx | Darael: i was the most helpful here. reinstalling was and still is the best way to go | 14:32 |
| Darael | twoten: Try ifconfig -a to get it to list interfaces that aren't up. | 14:32 |

| hylian | !crash | 14:32 |
| ubottu | For help debugging your program, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures | 14:32 |
| L3top | obvious troll is obvious | 14:32 |
| z3bra | minimec: Yes, but actually, when I run "xdg-open <folder>" I get a gnome-terminal openned on ~/ | 14:33 |
| Darael | L3top: I'm terrible at refraining from feeding them. I try, but I just can't stop myself. | 14:33 |
| kx | hope glibc complains about version 1.4 that would be icing on the cake 8] | 14:33 |
| hylian | how do i use crash? (linux-crashdump)? I have read the man pages, but still don't get it. why do they assume you know where anything is? oh well. | 14:34 |
| minimec | z3bra: strange. For me it opens nautilus... | 14:34 |
| twoten | hmmm, I get eth0 and lo but no mention of wlan, the blue light showing wireless is orange so it seems that ifconfig can't even see my device and yet it shows up in lspci and dmesg | 14:34 |
| Darael | twoten: I was going to ask about lspci. Wouldst thou pastebin the relevant bit of dmesg (and a few lines either side, just in case) for us? | 14:35 |
| z3bra | minimec: One day, i tried to open a terminal in a special working dir, and did "open with > gnome-terminal" | 14:35 |
| z3bra | Since this day, I can't go back to the previous setting | 14:35 |
| z3bra | It still open a gnome-terminal | 14:36 |
| Darael | z3bra: I presume thou hast tried running nautilus from a terminal, and then doing the open with thing again to revert it? | 14:36 |
| joseph_ | NOTHING is working on this thing? | 14:37 |
| z3bra | YEs | 14:37 |
| joseph_ | never mind, I'm not reposting and starting over again. | 14:37 |
| z3bra | But this don't work :/ | 14:37 |
| z3bra | My default.list is set to nautilus.desktop for inode/directory | 14:37 |
| ome | The upgrade me my Java based IDE fonts ugly. where should I look for making changes ? | 14:37 |
| L3top | twoten: what does lspci say that it is? | 14:37 |
| ome | the IDE is netbeans. | 14:38 |
| ome | made* | 14:38 |
| fusk | Darael, You mentioned conky, would you know anything about how to use it? | 14:40 |
| ome | nevermind. | 14:40 |
| Darael | fusk: Not really, sorry. | 14:40 |
| jrib | z3bra: what defaults.list are you checking? | 14:40 |
| Darael | fusk: It's one of those things I always meant to play with but never did. | 14:40 |
| fidel_ | fusk: in general? launch it with -c and path to your config file - which defines what to display | 14:40 |
| z3bra | /usr/share/applications/default.list | 14:40 |
| z3bra | jrib: | 14:41 |
| fidel_ | fusk: you'll find tons of example config files in the web | 14:41 |
| fusk | Darael, no problem, was just hoping. | 14:41 |
| L3top | twoten: lspci | grep irele | 14:41 |
| jrib | zebe42: first of all, that's the system-wide setting. You would want to check ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list . Second of all, I think (though I'm not sure so check both) it's now ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list | 14:41 |
| * L3top is a lazy grepper | 14:41 | |
| prc384 | do shell scripts have to end in .sh | 14:42 |
| * jrib wonders waht an irele is | 14:42 | |
| fusk | fidel_, i do not know how to do that, was hoping for a gui. | 14:42 |
| jrib | prc384: no | 14:42 |
| krey_ | hello, how can I install the broadcom-wl drivers? | 14:42 |
| sre | prc384, no. | 14:42 |
| sre | :D | 14:42 |
| prc384 | i created a script in my /bin directory and i tried to run it by typing its name and i got no command found | 14:42 |
| Darael | prc384: No, but it's a useful memory hook. | 14:42 |
| L3top | jrib a lazy way to get Wireless across without dealing with missed cap or -i because I am lazy | 14:42 |
| jrib | prc384: type: hash -r and then try again | 14:43 |
| Darael | prc384: Does it have a shebang? | 14:43 |
| z3bra | Nice jrib ! It was effectively in my local setting | 14:43 |
| z3bra | thanks ! | 14:43 |
| L3top | !broadcom | krey_ | 14:43 |
| ubottu | krey_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 14:43 |
| jrib | z3bra: no problem | 14:43 |
| Darael | prc384: As a general note, if the script doesn't need to be accessible to everyone, it's probably better to put it in, say, ~/scripts, and add that to thy personal $PATH. | 14:44 |
| prc384 | ok | 14:44 |
| fusk | fidel_, just to clarify, i installed 12.04 like 4 days ago, and have absolutely no previous knowledge of linux, besides a live cd some years ago. | 14:44 |
| jrib | prc384, Darael: if you use ~/bin, the default ~/.profile has a clause to automatically add ~/bin to the path | 14:44 |
| meganerd | Darael: convention is usually ~/bin | 14:44 |
| Darael | jrib: So it does. Well caught. | 14:45 |
| sre | prc384, the end of files help you identify them. Some editors use .sh .c .php endings to identify and individual behavior like color, highlight, and much more | 14:45 |
| prc384 | so i would have to run it with ~/bin/script_name | 14:45 |
| prc384 | ? | 14:45 |
| twoten | I do lspci | grep Network and get this: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) | 14:45 |
| jrib | prc384: nope, just "script_name" | 14:45 |
| prc384 | Yeah didnt work. | 14:45 |
| L3top | !broadcom | twoten | 14:45 |
| ubottu | twoten: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 14:45 |
| twoten | but dmesg | grep Broadcom shows nothing | 14:45 |
| fidel_ | fusk: well ... in case you want to use it - consider reading the manual or some howto. it might look difficult at start - but it youstart based on some config from the web it should work petty much out of the box if you spend 10 minutes. | 14:46 |
| jrib | prc384: well, if you use ~/bin, you need to either log out and back in or do « source ~/.profile » | 14:46 |
| Darael | prc384: Nope - if ~/bin/ is in $PATH, it should run with just "script_name". | 14:46 |
| z3bra | jrib: You talked about ~/bin that is added to the $PATH by default, is it ubuntu specific ? | 14:46 |
| fidel_ | otherwise: its eye-candy basically - so no must-have app | 14:46 |
| Darael | prc384: Or 'PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"', of course. | 14:46 |
| prc384 | Sorry it was permissions error | 14:46 |
| jrib | z3bra: it's in ubuntu's default ~/.profile, see /etc/skel/.profile . I don't know if that comes from debian (my guess is yes) | 14:47 |
| prc384 | for some reason it defaulted to 555 as permission | 14:47 |
| sre | prc384, chmod +x filename | 14:47 |
| prc384 | yeah 755 it already and it worked | 14:47 |
| meganerd | prc384: did you make the script executable? Is there #!/bin/bash as the first line (or whatever is appropriate for the language that you used)? | 14:47 |
| prc384 | ty | 14:47 |
| jrib | 555 shouldn't prevent you from executing something anyway | 14:47 |
| prc384 | yep meganerd | 14:47 |
| z3bra | jrib: okay, so it is just specified by default in the .profile | 14:47 |
| z3bra | Thanks =) | 14:47 |
| prc384 | only read no execute with 555 | 14:47 |

| theadmin | prc384: 555 = (4+1)(4+1)(4+1) = ugo=rx | 14:48 |

| dresden | ubottu, evidently | 15:19 |
| Sidewinder | Heh,. | 15:19 |
| LjL | dresden: whether you like it or not we do have specific rules here though, which involve not asking "anyone" questions | 15:19 |
| dresden | oh ok, Does someone have a problem with usb 3.0 | 15:20 |
| craigbass1976 | jrib, we're running a java app with a signature pad. The sigpad keeps choking. I'm supposed to "modify" my environment and add this "LOG4J_configuration=file:///home/me/filename" I'm not sure at all how to proceed. I'm using Sun's java, not openjava, as openjava always causes printing problems. | 15:20 |
| LjL | i wish i had USB 3.0 in the first place! | 15:20 |
| iceroot | !details | dresden | 15:20 |
| ubottu | dresden: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 15:20 |

| dresden | yes | 15:21 |
| theadmin | dresden: You have to actually ask something before anyone can be useful. | 15:21 |
| LjL | dresden: if you have a problem with the rules take it to #ubuntu-ops, otherwise ask a specific question including details of what the problem is etc | 15:21 |

| theadmin | Poindexter_: Most of the fuss is because it's LTS. People seem to think that means more stable. | 15:22 |

| dresden | simple question, is it not? | 15:23 |
| dresden | oh fuck you morons | 15:23 |
| LjL | n1: as i said, don't ask "anyone" questions. ask about your *specific* problem with aircrack (however, note we don't support illegal activities here, just in case, and that there is an aircrack-specific channel) | 15:23 |
| theadmin | TheBuntu: Unofficial kernels are unsupported. | 15:23 |
| auronandace | dresden: what would you say next if somebody said yes? | 15:23 |
| Poindexter_ | XUbuntu has changed it's apt-get policies though. | 15:23 |

| FunnyLookinHat | neattoast, great thanks | 15:24 |
| Poindexter_ | Debian seems to be the lightest weight kernel with VBOX. | 15:24 |
| theadmin | FunnyLookinHat: That'd be "networkmanager" (or something along the lines. Might be "nm-applet" or "networkmanager-gnome" or somesuch) | 15:24 |

| beefcafe | LjL: it has /usr/lib/libbotan-1.8.13.so | 15:32 |
| neattoast | tomasm-: could be gnome-panel-applets | 15:32 |

| ubottu | melvincv: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 15:35 |

| neattoast | tomasm-: Then there must be some indivindual package you have to install :/ | 15:37 |
| LjL | beefcafe: if you want to file a bug about this, do "ubuntu-bug monotone" and then follow the instructions. say something like "Monotone requires libbotan-1.8.2.so, but the libbotan 1.8.2 package only provides a libbotan-1.8.13 file" | 15:37 |

I'm having some issue with my wifi connection on ubuntu 12.04 (I might have had this problem on 11.10 as well): at what appears to be random times, the wlan interface just vanishes leaving me with no connection.

My wifi card is actually an intel 5100 AGN and | 16:20 |

| auronandace | savid: depends how cross-platform you want to get | 16:36 |
| savid | auronandace, basically linux/windows/mac | 16:36 |
| auronandace | savid: they all do ntfs fine | 16:37 |
| PanKozlevich | ubuntu is only linux i have idiotic problems with | 16:37 |
| B|tchX | savid, i learned that ext4 can't be accessed from the windows partion on a dual boot. ntfs only allows you to hold so much on the disk wasting valuable disk space fat32 is always cherry | 16:37 |
| PanKozlevich | why that junk cannot simply work? | 16:37 |
| auronandace | savid: actually i'm not sure about mac | 16:37 |
| grnt | PanKozlevich: what about arch? | 16:37 |
| PanKozlevich | 64bit, other 64bit work | 16:38 |
| auronandace | PanKozlevich: what problem are you having? | 16:38 |
| savid | auronandace, I have a 1TB external USB drive that was formated in NTFS. When copying about 32 GB of files over, I started getting write errors, and was subsequently no longer able to mount the disk in linux. I was able to boot into windows and fix the filesystem, though. | 16:38 |
| savid | So, that led me to believe NTFS drivers aren't terribly reliable yet. | 16:39 |
| auronandace | savid: when was that? | 16:39 |
| PanKozlevich | wine tells me i have no opengl driver or such crap | 16:39 |

| pythoneles | can anyone please help me out getting my ecryptfs home back from a previous ubuntu install? | 16:40 |

| PanKozlevich | grnt: my what? | 16:41 |
| grnt | PanKozlevich: I had same (probably) problem. I needed to reinstall AMD video driver after installing ia32-libs | 16:42 |
| PanKozlevich | I use gallium driver | 16:42 |
| grnt | PanKozlevich: your binary driver = NVIDIA or AMD proprietary driver from their websites | 16:42 |
| B|tchX | savid, look in dmesg or /var/log/kern.log | 16:43 |
| auronandace | grnt: better to stick to the drivers in the repos | 16:43 |
| grnt | PanKozlevich: Gallium is old, broken and unmaintained. You won't have any luck with it | 16:44 |
| PanKozlevich | it work elsewhere | 16:44 |
| PanKozlevich | it is the latest driver ubuntu offers, btw | 16:45 |
| grnt | auronandace: maybe. But I always installed mine via AMD download and never experienced problems | 16:45 |
| savid | B|tchX, it was yesterday, so will be difficult to find (can't remember what time it was). Anything I should grep for? | 16:45 |
| B|tchX | mtn savid | 16:45 |
| savid | B|tchX, nope, no matches for "mtn" | 16:46 |
| grnt | PanKozlevich: I'm not sure if it is so. Ubuntu should offer fglrx or nvidia driver (whatever it's called) | 16:46 |
| B|tchX | I don't want to frustrate you savid, so, I'm out | 16:46 |
| savid | B|tchX, no prob. I think I'm just going to reformat as FAT32. | 16:46 |

| armink | hi there. I just installed xubuntu 12.04 with disk encryption (alternate installer). the installer seemed frozen for several minutes after asking for the encryption passphrase, install went fine after that. but now I have a delay while booting: the "cryptsetup: sda5_crypt set up successful" message appears about a minute after entering the passphrase. | 16:49 |
| GeminiDomino | Does 12.04 server still require an "alternate install" disc in order to be able to use LVM/software raid from install? | 16:51 |
| Sidewinder | armink, Encryption does require way more cpu time. | 16:51 |
| gotmilk | hi guys | 16:51 |
| Sidewinder | If that's what you mean. | 16:51 |
| gotmilk | i have a problem | 16:51 |
| alankila | a minute of delay doesn't sound normal. Encryption should be a pay-as-you-go affair, and the cost is not that large with modern CPUs. | 16:52 |

| alesan | hi, how do I install JAVA? | 16:54 |
| alesan | !java | 16:54 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 16:54 |
| alankila | alesan: try if openjdk-7-jdk suits your tastes | 16:54 |
| alesan | alankila, should I install v6 or v7 like you suggest? | 16:54 |
| alesan | what is difference? | 16:54 |
| EvilResistance | alesan: i recommend you read the link that Ubottu gave you | 16:55 |
| EvilResistance | Java 7 is not as stable as Java 6 | 16:55 |
| mrsuchyPL | true | 16:55 |
| alesan | EvilResistance, so should I install Sun's? | 16:55 |
| EvilResistance | and sometimes you need Sun Java (now called Oracle Java), which requires an extra download | 16:55 |
| alankila | 6 is just ancient. Today it might not make much difference. | 16:55 |
| EvilResistance | alesan: depends on what you need | 16:55 |
| alankila | but in the future 7 will be the requirement | 16:55 |
| ruman | hi could any one tell me the Dialer Server for PRI Line(software and CRM) for Ubuntu | 16:56 |

| zebe42 | The guest win7 64bit can use the internet but my host can no longer connect to anything | 16:58 |
| alankila | xyy: pulseaudio, if you run it, can attach itself to monitor of any pulse device, and can record digitally what passes through it | 16:59 |

| ThePendulum | facelessloser: Indeed, you could boot from a USB stick | 17:18 |
| halfie_ | ThePendulum: I am using 3.3.3 PPA kernel. that might be causing the problem. | 17:18 |
| bluebomber | ThePendulum: k, probably not, then, although I *am* using Ubuntu. Do you have a suggestion for the appropriate channel, then? | 17:18 |
| facelessloser | ive tryed | 17:18 |
| Guest56476 | facelessloser, usb? | 17:18 |

| facelessloser | how would i format/setup the usb | 17:18 |
| ThePendulum | bluebomber: What about #networking ? | 17:18 |
| recon69_lap | syddraf: SMTP API to be more accurate | 17:18 |
| Darael | syddraf: To send /to/ a gmail address? I don't know how useful this information will be, but: most recipients (including gmail) will refuse email from a server on a dynamic IP address, but GMail servers will happily accept over IPv6, which bypasses that quite neatly. | 17:18 |

| ThePendulum | nishtta2: What's the definition of 'screwed' in your scenario? What issues occur? | 17:24 |
| Darael | angel279: Terminal programs output on two streams, for the most part: stdout and stderr. stderr is the "error" stream, and is stream number 2. > redirects output (usually stdout) to a file. 2> redirects stderr instead. | 17:25 |

| ThePendulum | nishtta2: Unity. I got them working in Xubuntu as well, and it wasn't too much work, but definitely more than with Unity. | 17:29 |

| Kruptein | Darael: I was going to give the specifics :p I know how hard helping people is ^^ I'm just doing like tons of things at the same time ^^ | 17:29 |
| Darael | lazyfingers: 64-bit is better, especially if any single process might need to use a lot of RAM - PAE raises the ceiling on the total usable, but not on the maximum a process can use. | 17:29 |
| chandru_in | There is no problem while playing music though. What could be the problem? | 17:29 |
| nishtta2 | ThePendulum, let me see how the current Xubuntu installation goes.. but there is no support available commercially? | 17:29 |

| ThePendulum | nishtta2: It says "Buy professional support services", is that what you're looking for? | 17:30 |
| alankila | chandru_in: it may be trying to use something like 5.1 audio config and you don't have center channel hooked up | 17:31 |
| Darael | Guest56476: Take a look at /var/log/apt/history.log and friends. | 17:31 |
| lazyfingers | thank you all. btw, does ubuntu support i7 with 4 real and 4 virtual cores? does it support virtual cores? | 17:31 |

| EvilResistance | lazyfingers: you can't | 17:37 |
| lazyfingers | *sigh* | 17:37 |
| theadmin | lazyfingers: Give Xfce a go though | 17:37 |
| EvilResistance | !notunity | lazyfingers | 17:37 |
| ubottu | lazyfingers: 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 | 17:37 |
| theadmin | lazyfingers: It's similar. | 17:37 |
| Kruptein | sary problem is I'm on a university network and we need to login on a certain website | 17:37 |

| sary | Kruptein: no , don't install using wubi .. its a problematic when it's time to update/upgrade. | 17:38 |
| Darael | lazyfingers: Obviously gnome3 works; I refer to the mode known as GNOME Fallback. | 17:38 |
| ThePendulum | lazyfingers, theadmin: Xubuntu is a nice Gnome2-era Ubuntu substitute, indeed. I have used it during Ubuntu 11.10 because Unity wasn't useable enough for me, yet. | 17:38 |

| rebe | jrib: thx! | 17:40 |
| killer | hi....how do i get wireless driver for bcm4312 chipset | 17:40 |
| cwill747 | Kruptein: well, we have to register our computer. After the first time it just works | 17:40 |
| Kruptein | cwill747: ah no it's different at our college | 17:40 |
| intore | neattoast, yes, me! | 17:40 |
| phraktal77 | hi all, can't get flash to work on 12.04, in chrome | 17:40 |
| killer | for suse what i did was install_firmware_bmc43xx | 17:41 |
| sary | Kruptein: yeah , it's better to wait to use an internet connection .. but regarding " ubiquity stopped working " am looking at a bug. | 17:41 |
| neattoast | intore: What is the problem then? | 17:41 |
| ThePendulum | lazyfingers: Unity has improved quite a lot in Ubuntu 12.04, at least for me. It's enough reason to use Ubuntu rather than Xubuntu. Each for his own, though. | 17:41 |
| cwill747 | Kruptein: so the installer is crashing because you can't get an internet connection? | 17:41 |
| zoolotto | Birds with lights like bikes | 17:41 |
| Kruptein | cwill747: no no I just included that info as it might help | 17:41 |
| lazyfingers | gnome 3 irritated me with lacking configuration and inability to create shortcuts on desktop, without manually creating shortcut files | 17:41 |
| cwill747 | Kruptein: sorry I didn't read back. what's your problem? | 17:41 |
| Kruptein | cwill747: my installer crashes when I'm at the timezone selection screen with a message that ubiquity stopped working | 17:41 |
| lazyfingers | unity != gnome 3? | 17:42 |
| tdelam | Ubuntu as a desktop has come a long long way, I am impressed | 17:42 |
| phraktal77 | 12.04 - Flash not working after update :( | 17:42 |
| lazyfingers | i mean, is it a fork of gnome 3 or ? | 17:42 |
| Darael | lazyfingers: unity == gnome3. Unity != gnome-shell. | 17:42 |
| intore | neattoast, i want to add a network printer but after clicking add printer it close the window. i've 11.10 | 17:42 |
| Kruptein | cwill747, sary and as they say earlier in the installer that timezone can be detected automatically if you have an internetconnection I guess ubiquity tries to connect but fails and then just throws an error although it could be anything | 17:42 |
| ThinkT510 | lazyfingers: unity is built on top of gnome3, it is a shell for gnome3 | 17:42 |
| ThePendulum | phraktal77: Got the same issue on a laptop... :| | 17:42 |
| pinnerup | I have a problem. It seems after installing 12.04 I cannot create a secondary user with encrypted home directory. That is, I am offered the option to encrypt my home directory during installation, but not afterwards when I want to create a new user. | 17:42 |
| tdelam | Seems to me that hardware support in Ubuntu/Linux is now almost a thing of the past. | 17:43 |
| tdelam | almost rare to have hardware that is no longer supported these days | 17:43 |
| neattoast | intore: can you get a log for that? | 17:43 |
| shaneoDSC | hey guys is there a chan for ubuntu landscape or can i get assitence in here ? | 17:43 |
| phraktal77 | I tried every trick I knew from older ubuntu, nothing. Flash is broken with almost every update on ubuntu :( | 17:43 |
| Darael | pinnerup: login as that user and ecryptfs-migrate-home as a workaround. | 17:43 |
| lazyfingers | ubuntu's own shell only based on gtk3? | 17:43 |
| sary | Kruptein: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/820485 | 17:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 820485 in gnome-keyring (Ubuntu Oneiric) "ubiquity stops installation at 'Configuring target system'" [Critical,Fix released] | 17:43 |

| sary | Kruptein: and bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/820485 | 17:43 |
| lazyfingers | thanks, now i get it | 17:43 |
| pinnerup | Darael: Thanks, I'll try that. | 17:44 |
| Mneumonic | Can someone explain why after a fresh install of 12.04 my laptop already has the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed in additional hardware? | 17:44 |
| phraktal77 | anyone knows how to reinstall flash on 12.04 after upgrade from 11.10 ? | 17:44 |
| Kruptein | sary that was twice the same bug :D | 17:45 |
| ThePendulum | phraktal77: I reckon this issue and I would like to take a solution to the knee. | 17:45 |
| intore | neattoast, i found this line in syslog: Apr 30 16:26:22 dello kernel: [ 5354.679797] gnome-control-c[4452]: segfault at 58 ip 1da82939 sp bfa97a30 error 4 in libprinters.so[1da6f000+18000 | 17:45 |
| neattoast | intore: It looks like your printer library has a problem. Did you try reinstalling? | 17:45 |
| sary | Kruptein: my bad , did you find anything useful / releated to your issue ! | 17:45 |
| intore | neattoast, libprinters.so? no | 17:46 |
| pn_123123 | ... | 17:46 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: "installed" or just shown as being available? | 17:46 |
| sary | Kruptein: did this issue ever happend to you before ? | 17:46 |
| Kruptein | sary It seems that most people were able to solve their problem by not checking the download updates while installing option, but as I don't have an internet connection I didn't select it anyways | 17:46 |
| Mneumonic | one of them is available and one of them has the green dot and looks installed | 17:46 |
| Kruptein | sary I never had this issue no | 17:46 |
| neattoast | intore: Could be. I'm not 100% sure. | 17:46 |
| Mneumonic | I installd mesa-utils, ran glxinfo and it shows as running the nvidia driver | 17:46 |
| pn_123123 | ... | 17:46 |
| ThePendulum | What's a nice Paint substitute for Ubuntu? | 17:47 |
| Kruptein | sary I'm gonna try some different options in the installer later thanks for your help anyways :) | 17:47 |
| neattoast | ThePendulum: libreoffice draw :) | 17:47 |
| Mneumonic | It's not a "problem" i am just curious why it installs it by default on my laptop but not on other computers | 17:47 |
| sary | Kruptein: okay , good to know . | 17:47 |
| intore | neattoast, Couldn't find any package by regex 'libprinters.so' is the command output | 17:47 |
| Kruptein | sary I wouldn't know how you could help me more atm as I don't know more about the problem. :f | 17:47 |
| Fyodorovna | ThePendulum, never used paint there is gimp, probably needs to be installed. | 17:47 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: does somebody else have access to the comp. and "did you a favour?" | 17:47 |
| cwill747 | !gimp | ThePendulum | 17:48 |
| ubottu | ThePendulum: gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 17:48 |
| minimec | ThePendulum: Pinta goes in this direction http://pinta-project.com/ | 17:48 |
| FlyingFoX | hi so i justdecided i want to update my kubuntu, but i clicked the 'upgrade' notification thing away. how do i get it back? does apt-get upgrade work? | 17:48 |
| ThePendulum | I know about GIMP, and I use it all the time, but I need something simpler for my little sister | 17:48 |
| ThePendulum | But not... too childish | 17:48 |
| Mneumonic | frybye no it's only my wife and I and we don't use eachothers laptop. The first time I installed 12.04 and saw it I immediately reinstalled and saw it again. | 17:48 |
| maheanuu | Guest56476, I am not running windoze on this laptop, only Ubuntu | 17:48 |
| armink | is there something similar to dd that shows transfer speed and/or amount of transfered data? | 17:48 |
| Kruptein | ThePendulum: I just give gimp to my sister xD | 17:48 |
| Mneumonic | The post release version of available and the current one is preinstalled | 17:48 |
| === mdrmike is now known as mdrmike|afk | ||
| xangua | ThePendulum: there is Pinta | 17:48 |
| neattoast | intore: then I'm not fully sure... I'm afraid I don't know that section of ubuntu very well. :( | 17:49 |
| jrib | ThePendulum: gnome-paint, gpaint, tuxpaint, xpaint | 17:49 |
| ThePendulum | Kruptein: I tried it, I hardly survived | 17:49 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: did you leave the /home from the prev. install? | 17:49 |

| bemis | looks like ubuntu-bug requires an account .. guess the bug isn't that important :/ | 17:49 |
| ThePendulum | I'm going to check out Pinta | 17:49 |
| Mneumonic | frybye nope I never save the /home | 17:49 |
| shaneoDSC | !info landscape | 17:49 |
| ubottu | Package landscape does not exist in precise | 17:49 |
| intore | neattoast, don't worry. thanks anyway | 17:49 |
| Mneumonic | wiped the whole partition and reinstalled | 17:49 |
| ThePendulum | Tuxpaint is a bit too childish | 17:49 |
| jrib | bemis: :( | 17:49 |
| FlyingFoX | armink: rsync can show transfer speed. that might work for you . i used it to copy big files from a dying externel hard drive that was really slow. | 17:49 |
| ThePendulum | Pinta seems to be about right, going to try now | 17:49 |
| neattoast | intore: Your welcome. | 17:49 |
| shaneoDSC | !info canonical-landscape | 17:49 |
| ubottu | Package canonical-landscape does not exist in precise | 17:49 |
| Mneumonic | frybye so I take it that is odd behaviour? Like I said it's not a problem as I would install the driver anyway. I only ask because I've never seen a Linux distro install proprietary drivers by default | 17:50 |
| ThinkT510 | shaneoDSC: what are you trying to do? | 17:50 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: hard to figure - there would probably be even legal probs if the official ubuntu install grabbed the nvidia driver... | 17:50 |
| FlyingFoX | armink: i think the way to show that is with the --progress switch. see the man page for further details. | 17:50 |
| shaneoDSC | sorry looking for help on allowing landscape to access an owncloud service | 17:50 |
| cwill747 | !landscape | shaneoDSC | 17:50 |
| ubottu | shaneoDSC: Landscape makes the management and monitoring of Ubuntu systems simple and effective by combining world-class support with easy to use online management tools. https://landscape.canonical.com/ | 17:50 |
| Mneumonic | frybye that was what I thought too | 17:50 |
| maheanuu | I would give both arms for a diagnostic to run on Linux to clean up all the crap in the system as when it starts messing up I cannot seem to find any patches or other things to get me back on track | 17:50 |

| Mneumonic | frybye maybe I am incorrect in thinking that the green dot means it is installed in additional hardware correct? | 17:51 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: during the install - did you click on "use restricted sources!?" | 17:51 |
| iksik_ | hello | 17:51 |
| armink | FlyingFoX: I know and use rsync, but it can't create disk images and so on, right? | 17:51 |
| shaneoDSC | lol ok guys thanks but still not finding answers there | 17:51 |
| drPoO | I want to remap Ctrl+Alt+T to terminator but disabling the "launch terminal" Launcher and adding a custom shortcut in the keyboard app does not seem to work | 17:51 |
| drPoO | any ideas? | 17:51 |
| FlyingFoX | armink: hm sry i don't know about that. | 17:51 |
| Mneumonic | frybye I checked both boxes but I've done that in the past and the only thing it installed was flash, mp3 etc | 17:51 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: The green dod just means "recommended" or? | 17:52 |
| armink | FlyingFoX: thanks anyway | 17:52 |
| xangua | drPoO: do you use unity with compiz¿ | 17:52 |
| saml | mplayer doesn't work | 17:52 |
| Mneumonic | frybye hmm I always thought green dot meant it was active | 17:52 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: i.e. preselected but does nothing till you confirm? | 17:52 |
| drPoO | xangua, no i do not | 17:52 |
| drPoO | xangua, just a fresh 12.04 | 17:52 |
| MonkeyDust | xangua unity *is* compiz on top of gnome3 | 17:52 |
| andrewaclt | How can I tell if I'm running 12.04 actual release or the beta? | 17:53 |
| iksik_ | my ubuntu (11.04) just seems to be crashed - apt can't upgrade almost ANY package cause of broken dependencies, and few other errors - i'm running under CLI now, so i can't c&p any of these messages, but i hope someone can help me to bring it up again - at this moment even X server/GDM/stuff related is down :( | 17:53 |
| ThinkT510 | frybye: the green dot means active and in use | 17:53 |
| xangua | drPoO: you mean you use unity with compiz, not unity-2d ¿ | 17:53 |
| FlyingFoX | is there a way to check which ruby version is in 12.04? | 17:53 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, hey.. so i took your advise and popped back the NVidia card | 17:53 |
| FlyingFoX | without installing it first | 17:53 |
| sary | Kruptein: just to make things clear , have you checked the iso with md5sum ! | 17:53 |
| cwill747 | !info ruby | FlyingFoX | 17:53 |
| ubottu | FlyingFoX: ruby (source: ruby-defaults): Transitional package for ruby1.8. In component main, is optional. Version 4.8 (precise), package size 4 kB, installed size 36 kB | 17:53 |
| nishttal2 | now my 2 monitors are good.. the 3rd one is still weird | 17:53 |
| Fyodorovna | andrewaclt, if updated your running the final | 17:53 |
| grnt | I give up. People, can anyone share default gnome-terminal color scheme with me? As it is after fresh ubuntu install | 17:53 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: perhaps you went thru the activiation twice.. ie - it was top of the list - and you OK'd and then on opening again? But I am no expert.. perhaps sbdy else has an idea...? | 17:53 |
| alankila | iksik_: combinations of "sudo apt-get -f install" and "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and removal of some broken packages and reinstall after the removal succeeds generally helps | 17:53 |
| andrewaclt | Fyodorovna, I don't remember, I've been on vacation :P | 17:54 |
| ThePendulum | nishttal2: What happened? | 17:54 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, the 3rd one does not have the top or bottom panels.. i am running Xubuntu | 17:54 |
| iksik_ | alankila: ok, i'll try | 17:54 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, and it has its own different wallpaper | 17:54 |
| ThePendulum | nishttal2: There aren't any bottom panels by default. Are you able to move your cursor to it, as well as windows? | 17:54 |
| phraktal77 | In order to install flash reinstall flashplugin-installer | 17:54 |
| alankila | iksik_: at the limit you can hack the packaging scripts around to workaround an issue, for instance if a package can't be uninstalled you can delete the script (after inspecting what it does maybe) | 17:54 |
| Mneumonic | frybye thanks but I am pretty sure it is preinstalling by itself. I have installed Ubuntu many times before and never experienced this | 17:54 |
| meldown | @FlyingFoX you only need to type ruby -v in your terminal | 17:54 |
| drPoO | xangua, mmm now that you put it like that Im not entirely sure. I think its unity+compiz? | 17:54 |
| alankila | iksik_: all the package prerm, postrm, etc. scripts are at /var/lib/dpkg/info | 17:55 |
| iksik_ | alankila: got it, thanks ;-) | 17:55 |
| Kruptein | sary no I didnt lol gonna check it now | 17:55 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, I can move my cursor but not windows (its a separate X-screen) | 17:55 |
| FlyingFoX | meldown: i am currently not on 12.04 so ruby -v doesn't work | 17:55 |
| iksik_ | /var/lib/dpkg/info - ok ;-) | 17:55 |
| Fyodorovna | andrewaclt, Ubuntu is designed to update to the final from the first development release so update and enjoy. :) | 17:55 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: if you are sure about this - perhaps you should report it as a bug .. like I say there might be all sorts of consequences if it did happen the way you recon - and appart from that there are loads of linux ppl who are v e r y allergic to prop. drivers... | 17:55 |
| sary | grnt: you mean the Built-in schemes ! | 17:55 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, but there should be a top-panel? | 17:56 |
| xangua | drPoO: then you might need to install Compiz Setting Manager to configure the shorcuts | 17:56 |
| grnt | sary: yes | 17:56 |
| andrewaclt | Fyodorovna, so if I run dist-upgrade what happens? | 17:56 |
| grnt | sary: you know where they are? | 17:56 |
| alankila | iksik_: also if you have to do other changes to programs or files, you can validate the results later with program called debsums, for instance "debsums -c" can be used to check that the installed files on system match the package manifests | 17:56 |
| ThinkT510 | !dist-upgrade | andrewaclt | 17:56 |
| ubottu | andrewaclt: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 17:56 |
| iksik_ | alankila: it seems that it is trying to install/update some packages anyway, when i'm trying with -f install, and it fails at some debs related to gnome-session, gnome-desktop3 | 17:56 |
| Fyodorovna | andrewaclt, I just run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in one line | 17:56 |
| Mneumonic | frybye yea that's part of the worry I guess, I know a lot of people who woudl be bothered by it. | 17:57 |
| meldown | FlyingFoX than i can't help you, hope you find the answer quickly :) | 17:57 |
| alankila | iksik_: I can't say anything about the failure, but if you can't install a package, you can often remove that package instead, and that sometimes helps | 17:57 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: some wizz here can perhaps tell you where to find a log file detailing exactly what happend? | 17:57 |
| iksik_ | alankila: okay, i'll try to remove gnome :D | 17:57 |
| sary | grnt: i can post you the cod for them . | 17:57 |
| xangua | drPoO: but be careful with it, you don't want to move or disable some unity stuff | 17:57 |
| FlyingFoX | meldown: i think i got it :) ubottu knows this stuff :D | 17:57 |
| alankila | iksik_: you may want to reinstall ubuntu-desktop after doing removals, it'll bring your system somewhat back afterwards | 17:58 |
| Fyodorovna | andrewaclt, I will say though that being backed up is your best insurance with any OS, I image al lmy installs | 17:58 |
| grnt | sary: ok, go on | 17:58 |
| usb333_ | guys, how do i remove the nouveau drivers and install the official ones on 12.04? | 17:58 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, pls look at this.. http://i49.tinypic.com/adc7xw.png and http://i45.tinypic.com/wvs4dd.png | 17:58 |
| iksik_ | alankila: ok | 17:58 |
| Mneumonic | frybye I am going to do another clean install and see what happens. I will come back into irc once it's done, this time I'm not going to check either of the boxes. | 17:58 |
| Mneumonic | during install | 17:58 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, this is how my 2 Xscreens look | 17:58 |
| josefig | someone can explain me why is this happening? http://pastebin.com/RyLJYc4z it says binary file and I can do a tail -n 100 file.php | 17:58 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, the 1st Xscreen has two monitors | 17:59 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: lot of effort if you need the driver anyhows...? | 17:59 |
| ThinkT510 | usb333: no need to remove the nouveau drivers when installing the nvidia ones | 17:59 |
| ThePendulum | nishttal2: Are you in Xubuntu now? | 17:59 |
| iksik_ | alankila: hmm, wouldn't it be faster if i will try to remove and install ubuntu-desktop itself? | 17:59 |
| ThinkT510 | !nvidia | usb333 | 17:59 |
| ubottu | usb333: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 17:59 |
| alankila | iksik_: no, it doesn't actually remove the other packages | 17:59 |
| Mneumonic | frybye mostly I am wondering if I am wrong about this and that it's not actually doing it | 17:59 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, yes sir | 17:59 |
| usb333_ | thx guys | 17:59 |
| Kircle | So I've done a fresh install of 12.04. Although I can hear sound via my headphones and monitor speakers the volume indicator in the top left appears to be mute. It won't let me adjust the volume. | 17:59 |
| maheanuu | Could someone give me a hand with pulseaudio mic problems, I am having problems in skype for it | 17:59 |
| node_ | has anyone had a problem getting the dash/tilda/equals/plus/fn keys work after an upgrade? | 17:59 |
| alankila | iksik_: it merely depends on the regular ubuntu stock package set, so installing that ensures that you will have a desktop ubuntu install | 18:00 |
| Kruptein | sary where can I find the checksums? | 18:00 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: ok - but do you really want to do a further install just because of a "gut feeling" | 18:00 |
| ThinkT510 | !md5s | 18:00 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, i have tried every distro except Kubuntu.. this is the closest i have gotten to a functional system | 18:00 |
| Mneumonic | frybye sure, Ubuntu only takes 15 minutes to install | 18:00 |
| Mneumonic | I haven't really set up the machine yet | 18:00 |
| sary | grnt: if you wanna use the colors that are set with the theme , just tick the box " Use colors from system theme " .. and here is the default colors " Text color: #000000 , Background color: #FFFDD . | 18:00 |
| ThePendulum | nishttal2: I must correct myself then, Xubuntu doesn't have any panels on any screens but the main one by default. You'd have to add them manually. | 18:00 |
| Mneumonic | so I'm not losing a lot of work or anything | 18:00 |
| Mneumonic | plus I'd be happy to submit a report to Ubuntu if it is doing this | 18:01 |
| sary | Kruptein: which version release is the iso image on your usb !? | 18:01 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: well your lucky - withing some giggery-pokerey i have no grafics on starting...! | 18:01 |
| Kruptein | sary it should be 64bit 12.04 | 18:01 |
| iksik_ | alankila: ok, apt-get remove doens't work... and it fails with message that tells me about packages dependencies, and i need to run apt-get -f install uh | 18:01 |
| frybye | e e e without... | 18:01 |
| grnt | sary: I don't have gnome-terminal installed, I'm trying to configure urxvt to use same colors and I can't find what they are anywhere | 18:01 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, i see so this is expected then.. what about the window decoration.. the first screen has blurry effects on the title bar | 18:01 |
| iksik_ | alankila: which does not work either :X | 18:01 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, the second screen is clean | 18:01 |
| Mneumonic | frybye I'll be back in 20-30 minutse and let you know if it is still happening, if it is I'll have to learn where to report a bug. | 18:01 |
| alankila | iksik_: you can also use dpkg directly if apt-get doesn't agree to do something that must be done. dpkg is more dangerous though. | 18:02 |
| frybye | Mneumonic: others here can help you with that then... | 18:02 |
| ThePendulum | nishttal2: Could you perhaps install TeamViewer, so I can fiddle around a bit to detect the issue? | 18:02 |
| iksik_ | alankila: well, i think that i don't care anymore ;-D | 18:02 |
| nishttal2 | ThePendulum, oh that would be great.. one sec | 18:02 |

| ThinkT510 | ThePendulum: does teamviewer work with multiple screens? | 18:03 |
| sary | Kruptein: check the MD5SUM text file here http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ | 18:03 |

| pavan | hello guys, | 18:04 |
| jamiejackson | While installing a package, there was a bad checksum, and the installation died. Now I want to remove that package, but it keeps trying to download that and perform the checksum during the remove. How do I force-remove the package? | 18:04 |
| ubuntu | Hello, freinds | 18:04 |
| ThinkT510 | ThePendulum: awesome, i never knew that, thanks for the info | 18:04 |
| ubuntu | Can anyone help in configuring LBP2900 in ubuntu precise, | 18:05 |
| ThePendulum | ThinkT510: I am not 100% sure though. I can't remembering TV-ing to a dual screen. But I think I remember that the person who TV'ed to my dual screens saw both my screens. | 18:05 |
| iksik_ | alankila: is it possible to remove package with all deps using dpkg? | 18:05 |
| sary | grnt: lemme get this right , you wan to set the default gnome-terminal color schemes in urxvt ! | 18:05 |
| ThinkT510 | ThePendulum: thats with version 7? | 18:05 |
| ThePendulum | ThinkT510: Affirmative | 18:05 |
| ThinkT510 | ThePendulum: cool | 18:05 |
| alankila | iksik_: probably dpkg -B | 18:06 |
| pavan | when I try to connect my USB modem I get error "Error occured", but connects properly with wvdial, but wvdial isn't compatible with "Empathy", is there any work around for the problem | 18:06 |
| pavan | on 12.04 64 bit | 18:06 |
| ThePendulum | ThinkT510: I will find out soon enough. If I understand correctly, nishttal2 is running two screens. I will inform you on if I see either one or both screens with TV | 18:06 |
| alankila | iksik_: there's also --force-depends which will cause dpkg to just ignore dependency issues. It's obviously dangerous if you target some critical system package with this option enabled. | 18:06 |
| ubuntu | Anyone knows how to configure LBP2900 in ubuntu 12.04 , Please help | 18:06 |

| ekoffel | Is there a easy way to do what need to do? | 18:20 |

| Night_Elf | ejcweb: If you only need the documents and files of the user, that is all you need. If you need the installed software of the 'old' system too, you should generate a list of the installed software and use that to reinstall the same on the 'new' system. | 18:22 |

| Zzarkc | Hello. So I was recently attempting to update to 12.04, and while I was doing so, my computer crashed. When I restarted, it wasn't allowing me to complete the boot process. I have an 11.10 install cd that I can boot from, but I was wondering how I might save my information, such as my installed programs, my software sources, and information on my /home. I did separate my /home partition, but I don't know how to make the new installation | 18:25 |
| Zzarkc | "find it" without overwriting it. Thanks! | 18:25 |
| cheater__ | Zzarkc: what are you seeing? i'm also unable to boot after an upgrade | 18:25 |
| cheater__ | Zzarkc: my pc says it's unable to mount root | 18:25 |
| theadmin | Zzarkc: Just point /home to that partition during the install, without formatting it | 18:25 |
| Darael | Zzarkc: There's a manual partitioning option, almost certainly. At that stage, choose not to format the partition chosen for /home, and it should be fine. | 18:26 |
| anathema_ | is there any fix for the ugly plymouth for 12.04? | 18:26 |
| sary | grnt: and the other as follow : palette color 2 : #CC0000 , palette color 3 : #4E9A06 , palette color 4 #C4A000 , palette color 5 #3465A4 , palette color 6 #7550B , palette color 7 #06989A , palette color 8 #D3D7CF , palette color 9 #555753 , palette color 10 #EF2929 , palette color 11 #8AE234 , palette color 12 #FCE94F , palette color 13 #729FCF , palette color 14 #AD7FA8 , palette color 15 #34E2E2 , palette color 16 #EEEEEC . | 18:26 |
| Zzarkc | cheater__: I'm fairly certain it's from an incomplete upgrade. It crashed in the middle of it. I get sent to a command line because I believe it can't find a c library that was being replaced/updated. | 18:26 |
| cheater__ | ah ok | 18:26 |
| Darael | anathema_: I believe there are a whole series of plymouth-theme-* packages. Have a look. | 18:26 |
| grnt | sary: Thanks! | 18:27 |
| grnt | sary: Will try them now... | 18:27 |
| Zzarkc | Darael: theadmin: Is there any way I can get a list of my installed programs? I'm assuming I'll have to reset up my emacs again... | 18:27 |
| theadmin | Zzarkc: dpkg --get-selections I suppose. | 18:27 |
| cheater__ | you can look inside your apt cache for packages. | 18:27 |
| cheater__ | theadmin: he can't boot. | 18:27 |
| intore | theadmin, thanks a lot, really! | 18:28 |
| theadmin | cheater__: Well, that's never a problem, you can chroot to a unbootable machine | 18:28 |
| Night_Elf | Zzarkc: You can try to start with a liveCD and then chroot in the 'old' system. There you might do a "dpkg --get-selections" and see what that brings. | 18:28 |
| alankila | Zzarkc: you might get it repaired just by writing "dpkg --configure -a" on recovery shell, if that works, and then just restart the upgrade | 18:28 |
| theadmin | Err, unbootable OS | 18:28 |
| cheater__ | Zzarkc: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 18:28 |
| anathema_ | Darael i dont need now a theme, i want just to fix it because I get an ugly broken just purple screen | 18:28 |
| alankila | one of the nasty things of the debian-style package management is that everything is half-configured for the longest time because it likes to unpack replacing archives first and then configure them later. That's unfortunately very fragile and if it crashes before the configuring, the system is so broken it won't even boot. | 18:28 |
| ekoffel | Is there a easy way to setup a dhcp server with internet access. Like a live cd | 18:29 |
| alankila | and that command finishes the half-ready configuring and often puts the system back into working state | 18:29 |
| Darael | Zzarkc: Note that /var/cache/apt/archives only contains a subset of installed packages - just the ones downloaded since the last clean. | 18:29 |
| Zzarkc | alankila: Would that be the recovery option at the boot menu from GRUB, or would I do that form a live CD? | 18:29 |
| alankila | Zzarkc: the grub recovery, if it works that well, is what you want to try | 18:29 |
| sary | grnt: You're most welcome. | 18:29 |
| wfwgwrh | vig | 18:30 |
| vicx | hey | 18:30 |
| vicx | ... | 18:30 |
| Darael | Zzarkc: One would use a live CD (or better yet, alternate with the "Recover a broken system" option) and chroot if the recovery-mode didn't work. | 18:30 |
| Darael | Zzarkc: In that case, though, make sure the CD is the same architecture as the system in need of rescue. | 18:30 |
| Zzarkc | Darael: Where is the "Recover a broken system" option? | 18:31 |
| Darael | Zzarkc: It was in at least some versions of the Alternate CD. Possibly after loading expert mode? I forget exactly. | 18:31 |
| shadowspell | how i can install python-tk package ? | 18:31 |
| thechef | How can I delete shortcuts in the panel in gnome classic? | 18:31 |
| Zzarkc | Darael: Alright. I thought there was that option too, but last night I couldn't find it when I tried. | 18:31 |
| yeats | !info python-tk | 18:32 |

| nishttal2 | ThePendulum++ | 18:32 |
| alankila | kapz: random guess: maybe it's acpid that sees those requests. Check if you have it installed. If not, sorry for the noise. | 18:32 |
| ThePendulum | :) | 18:33 |
| thechef | I messed up my shortcuts. I want to delete some, but I can't figure out how. | 18:33 |
| Fyodorovna | thechef, can you be a little more descriptive as in what shortcuts. | 18:34 |
| alankila | acpid is kinda important because it's the thing that hears the power button press for instance, so you generally want that running. For virtual machines, it's what allows the host to shut the system down. It might have other responsibilities, like reacting to those Fn+something keys | 18:34 |
| ThePendulum | Fyodorovna, thechef: I guess shortcuts in Nautilus, in the left sidebar? | 18:34 |
| Dr_willis | thechef, i think its ctrl-rightclick or alt-rightclick.. | 18:34 |
| thechef | Fyodorovna, the top ones in gnome classic in Ubuntu 12.04, the top panel | 18:34 |

| pyboy | Thechef:go to the any panel whre the shortcut is and press alt and right click on the shortcut and there should be an option to remove the shortcut | 18:37 |

| Galaxor | Hi. I've unlocked my gpg keychain using the pinentry. How do I lock it again? | 18:40 |
| sary | grnt: Good to know :) | 18:40 |
| Galaxor | (it doesn't seem to time out. My gpg stuff can all be decrypted without a password until I log out) | 18:41 |
| Darael | Galaxor: Logging out will do it. | 18:41 |
| Darael | Galaxor: It's possible to stop the agent, but I forget how. | 18:41 |
| Galaxor | Darael: Is it polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 ? | 18:42 |
| Darael | Galaxor: I wouldn't have /guessed/ so - I didn't think polkit dealt with the user's gpg keys. | 18:42 |
| Darael | Galaxor: I was about to suggest that it was gpg-agent, but then I remembered that's only running because I have gpg2 installed... | 18:43 |
| jtoy | hi | 18:44 |
| jtoy | is it possible to enlarge the swap space on a live machine? | 18:45 |
| ThinkT510 | jtoy: first swapoff then you can edit the size | 18:45 |
| Galaxor | Darael: Yeah, this polkit daemon was the only thing I could find in the process list that had the word 'agent' in it. | 18:45 |
| beandog | jtoy: yah, but not with modifying partitions | 18:45 |
| === rodrigo is now known as rodrigohh | ||
| beandog | jtoy: you'd have to make a swap file and use that | 18:46 |

| grnt | People, yo do already know Left 4 Dead 2 is being ported to Linux? :-) Natively | 18:46 |
| ThinkT510 | kelvinella: this is ubuntu support | 18:46 |
| Galaxor | Darael: (also ssh-agent, but that is probably unrelated) | 18:46 |
| === rodrigohh is now known as taterminala | ||
| Darael | Galaxor: ssh-agent /is/ unrelated. gpg-agent, were it running, would subsume its capabilities, but that's irrelevant. Tried running fuser on the keys? | 18:47 |
| beandog | jtoy: here's an example if you wanted 512MB more: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swapfile; mkswap /var/swapfile; swapon -a | 18:48 |
| beandog | jtoy: I can't say I recommend it though | 18:48 |
| beandog | whoops | 18:48 |
| jtoy | beandog: why ,what is wrong? | 18:48 |
| beandog | jtoy: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swapfile bs=1024 count=512 | 18:48 |
| thechef | Fyodorovna, i just copied the .desktop-files from /usr/lib/libreoffice... made them executable. That works for me. | 18:48 |
| beandog | jtoy: because if you're using swap, that's bad. | 18:48 |

| pyboy | does anybody use lynx the web broswer | 18:49 |
| Galaxor | Darael: According to fuser, nobody is holding those files open. | 18:49 |
| Darael | Galaxor: I suspected that might be the case. It was worth a try. | 18:50 |
| Corey | pyboy: Occasionally. | 18:50 |

| GeminiDomino | Is there any way to install 12.04 server without installing any UI at all, or does it have to be removed after the fact? | 18:51 |
| jtoy | Darael I love unicorns | 18:51 |

| ThinkT510 | GeminiDomino: 12.04 server doesn't come with a gui | 18:52 |
| aleprovencio | hello guys, is there a workaround to make unity accept c-m as an enter key, as seen on an emacs key theme? | 18:52 |
| GeminiDomino | For some reason, the 64-bit server alternate disc does... should I report that as a bug? | 18:52 |
| Galaxor | Darael: Aha. I killed it, and now I can't do pinentry anymore. I have to type the password each time. That's pretty much what I want. Thanks. | 18:52 |
| MonkeyDust | GeminiDomino sounds more like a wrong cd | 18:52 |
| ThinkT510 | GeminiDomino: server alternate? | 18:52 |
| GeminiDomino | err | 18:52 |
| GeminiDomino | alternate | 18:52 |

| aaron_c | hi, i've discovered that i can only position my external monitor above or below my laptop monitor. if i try to position it to the left or right, i get a "please log out and log back in" error, which doesnt do anything. i'm using gnome-display-properties. does anyone know what my problem might be? | 18:53 |
| GeminiDomino | I need the LVM/Raid support of the alternate, but no UI | 18:53 |
| wikilib | LOL! | 18:53 |
| wikilib | ¡™ | 18:53 |
| ThinkT510 | GeminiDomino: theres desktop, alternate and server, sounds like you got alternate instead of server | 18:53 |
| foobArrr | my .xsession-errors is 705M large and filled with binary data. how does that happen? | 18:54 |
| GeminiDomino | ThinkT510: Yes, that's what I did. So I guess my proper question would be "is there any way to install from the alternate CD without a UI" or a way to install server with LVM/Raid? | 18:54 |
| fastjoe | haha, got alternate instead of desktop, took one day to understand why livecd is not working | 18:54 |
| ThinkT510 | GeminiDomino: i'm not sure sorry | 18:54 |
| ThinkT510 | GeminiDomino: doesn't the server cd come with raid/lvm? | 18:55 |
| GeminiDomino | ThinkT510: I'm not sure. The "readme" (http://mirror.symnds.com/distributions/ubuntu-releases/precise/) says I need alternate for it... I guess I'll grab the server ISO and check. | 18:56 |
| GeminiDomino | Seems a rather large oversight if it doesn't, IMO. | 18:57 |

| apavlov | Hey folks. Installed 12.04 on a desktop with NV Geforce 7600GT (drivers from nvidia.com installed, using their .sh installer), and during the package installation there were lots of messages stating that there were lots of previous-version packages were held due to some broken packages (the terminal window is 2 lines high - it's ridiculous). Now, after the first reboot I'm seeing the "Frequency out of range" on my monitor. Any ideas how to fix the resoluti | 19:02 |
| ThinkT510 | apavlov: any reason you aren't using the nvidia drivers from ubuntu repos? | 19:03 |

| MonkeyDust | greenit exe is for windows, any reason you need that? | 19:04 |
| apavlov | ThinkT510: seem to have had some performance issues a while ago (forgot to say that I'm upgrading 10.04 LTS) - used them from the Hardy times | 19:04 |
| minimec | apavlov: if the nvidia driver was not installed correctly, a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' should give you back the 'nouveau' driver probably. | 19:04 |
| greenit | MonkeyDust, i think it is installed for wine | 19:05 |
| node_ | you know if you choose encrypt home drive it tells yousave this long password, how do i get that long password again so i can write it down? | 19:05 |
| apavlov | minimec: did that upon booting from a live 12.04 USB stick - is that enough? I can't seem to boot grub with the proper monitor frequency, too | 19:05 |
| ThinkT510 | MonkeyDust: thats the ttf installer for the ms ttfs | 19:05 |
| MonkeyDust | ah wine | 19:06 |
| node_ | its not the password you set its soem special one, but it says if you don't save it now, you can see again by running some other command i don't know what command that is | 19:06 |
| minimec | apavlov: What? grub runs on the framebuffer. So no nvidia driver involved there. MAybe 'auto adjust' the screen when grub starts. | 19:07 |
| apavlov | minimec: hmm, maybe I held down the wrong Shift?.. let me try | 19:07 |
| Joe_CoT | hey, Unity seems to add this really weird keyboard shortcut (control + alt + numpad) which changes the size of windows. I had switching workspaces to that, so it's really annoying. any idea how to disable that behavior? | 19:08 |
| Darael | Joe_CoT: Install the compizconfi-settings-manager package, run ccsm, disable the Grid plugin IIRC. | 19:08 |
| Darael | Joe_CoT: It will be necessary to configure the workspace switching in CCSM, too. | 19:09 |
| Joe_CoT | cool, thanks! | 19:09 |

| L3top | greenit: my question was not is there an active internet connection at the spot, but if the machine in question could still access it | 19:21 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | The tab? If I click with two fingers, a 'right click' is performed | 19:21 |
| greenit | L3top, yep | 19:21 |
| minimec | OfficeITGuy149: Ok. That is good sign. ;) That is multitouch... | 19:21 |
| ThinkT510 | pyboy: there is a lot of things in compiz that can break unity (hence why it is not recommended to use ccsm) | 19:21 |
| minimec | OfficeITGuy149: So what exactly is the problem? | 19:22 |
| L3top | If you stop the non-functioning installer and in a terminal type sudo dpkg --configure -a does that do anything? | 19:22 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | If I try to move a window by pressing the trackpad down, then dragging with another finger, I get a right click. If I hold the button down with a pencil, then drag with a finger, the window moves. | 19:22 |

| minimec | ok. I think I see now. You don't have any mouse buttons anymore on that computer. Only that trackpad. Is that correct? | 19:24 |

| Darael | OfficeITGuy149: xorg.conf is in /etc/X11, if that helps. | 19:25 |
| td123 | ie, can you run python2 in a terminal? | 19:25 |
| ThinkT510 | OfficeITGuy149: /etc/X11/xorg.conf (it is usually dynamically loaded so that file may not exist) | 19:25 |

| NFisher | i.e. when i have a symbol on my workspace 1 i want it not to appear on workspaces 2-4.. | 19:40 |

| OfficeITGuy149 | Thanks so much for your help, by the way. This problem is for an executive and not having a solution is killing my productivity | 19:40 |

| gimpy49 | Fyodorovna: I don't think it's a driver issue. The system sees the interface just fine. If I hit the wireless button it logs that it is bringing the itnerface up but disconnected. | 19:41 |
| Daghdha | i see xbb. So that does not work for maximized application windows? | 19:41 |
| minimec | OfficeITGuy149: Ok. So there might be the possibility to 'create' a button area for left- and right- click. Open a console and type synclient once. You should see a config for your pad. | 19:41 |

| MirkoKa | NFisher: yes, compiz implements both viewports and workspaces. with the cube you would have one cube for each workspace. see CCSM -> General Options -> Desktop Size and look for the keycombos to change cubes/wiorkspaces | 19:43 |
| minimec | OfficeITGuy149: You can maybe adjust the options AreaBottomEdge, the RightButton- stuff ans so on. | 19:43 |

| DarkSector | Fyodorovna: Can't I just have Gnome Classic and nothing else | 19:50 |
| minimec | OfficeITGuy149: I don't think so, as they do not define any area, where you want to have any buttons. The multitouch functions on your pad are working, but you don't have a button area defined. | 19:50 |

| ubottu | Lorra: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 20:03 |

| pyboy | did you try sudo service name of service start | 20:16 |
| alankila | itguy614: more details... how many backend apaches do you have, and do you need session affinity? The simplest imaginable load balancing setup would use DNAT on the load balancer with a --to-destination line that has multiple IP addresses from a range, kernel does load balancing for you (no session affinity, though!) | 20:17 |
| L3top | hmm... I do not know that this will address your issue splnet. Interesting to find out though. | 20:17 |
| jwrigley | pyboy: not really they aren't services so much as just start-up programs -- Dropbox, Guake-terminal, etc. | 20:17 |
| anathema_ | i want to ask something about the ati card and boot screen etc anyone to help? | 20:18 |
| LinuxMonkey | !ask | anathema_ | 20:18 |
| ubottu | anathema_: 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 | 20:18 |
| alankila | you could theoretically write a heartbeat script that just does some network transaction like accesses the apache front page once per second from the load balancer to determine if the backends are up, and if not, you would drop it. Will only scale up to 2 backend IPs, I guess, but is dirt simple on the upside. | 20:18 |
| diverdude | is php 5.4 available in the 12.04 repos? | 20:18 |
| pyboy | jwrigley: dont know i thought they were services | 20:18 |
| MirkoKa | n2diy: gnome-system-monitor or the commandline tools "top" or "ps axu", the "Memory" or "RSS" field tells the RAM usage, the Size field tells *roughly* the total memoy consumption. | 20:18 |
| anathema_ | ok sorry, i want to ask if it is nessesary to download the ati driver, in the additional drivers there is no option for download | 20:18 |

| jwrigley | pyboy: well, thanks anyway :) | 20:20 |
| ThinkT510 | diverdude: no idea, when was 5.4 released? | 20:20 |
| L3top | The short answer is, if you have desktop, nothing further is necessary, though you might have better performance overall with it anathema_... I will tell you in a moment whether or not you will benefit. | 20:20 |

Libjasper for java looks unrelated, but possibly colliding. | 20:21 |

| anathema_ | L3top, thanks. is there any way to fix the ugly bootscreen and shutdown? | 20:23 |
| ThinkT510 | orated: if you want to | 20:23 |
| pyboy | jwrigley: did you try to unistall gnome shells try to install gnome-panel does the same thing as gnome shells | 20:23 |
| orated | ThinkT510: I read it boosts the performance of the system. Could you explain in short what all changes in brings? | 20:24 |
| minimec | lousygarua: there is a tool called rcconf. You should be able disable apache2 on boot with that. | 20:24 |
| d4vid | //////// | 20:24 |
| MirkoKa | xv_image_viewer: I won't be of much help with this, but do a "locate libjasper" and see if the ibjasper.a is anywhere else. if not, you could try to compile libjasper yourself | 20:24 |
| alankila | orated: I happen to have xfs as both / and /home. I do not see any issues | 20:24 |
| L3top | I would attack it from plymouth side, and update the initrd, but perhaps going at it from grub is the correct solution. The short answer is, I don't know for sure, but I can give you some things to try, unless someone speaks up for sure with a solution anathema_. | 20:24 |
| ThinkT510 | orated: i'm not that knowlegable but i'd assume the boost would be almost imperceptable, i just know you can use it | 20:25 |
| orated | alankila: And what difference you noticed after switching to xfs? | 20:25 |
| alankila | orated: got more free space :-p | 20:25 |
| orated | alankila: in terms of performance .. | 20:26 |
| anathema_ | L3top, thanks i think that it must be a grub/plymouth issue because I can't see the progress bar etc | 20:26 |
| alankila | I can't really tell what filesystem my files are on. | 20:26 |
| L3top | orated: xfs is best for large streaming files... an ideal scenario would be a streaming media server or NAS. | 20:26 |
| minimec | lousygarua: Nope. rcconf is not working with upstart. Forget what i said.. initctl should do. | 20:26 |
| L3top | orated: You will NOT see a performance gain using it for your OS. | 20:27 |
| MirkoKa | n2diy: top (like the others) differentiate between Virtual Memory (everything, RAM, Swap, Shared), RSS (or RES, the actual RAM usage without Swap) and Shared (or SHR, the amount of shared memory). | 20:27 |
| alankila | orated: well, I run this thing on top of SSD -- in fact I have set up flashcache to do a kind of hybrid harddisk in software | 20:27 |
| nimbiotics | !notunity | 20:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:27 |
| alankila | my / is entirely on SSD, my /home is cached in writeback mode by about 100 GB of flash | 20:27 |
| ThinkT510 | these factoids need updating | 20:27 |
| orated | Okay, thanks | 20:28 |
| alankila | flashcache reports read hit percent in 53 % range, and write hit percent in 35 % range, which indicates the transactions that occur entirely in flash. | 20:28 |
| jrib | ThinkT510: go for it :) | 20:28 |
| alankila | the big win is with writing though, because in writeback mode your disks appear to have flash's performance characteristics | 20:28 |
| n2diy | MirkoKa, ok, top isn't displaying rss, so I need to go config. that, thanks. | 20:29 |
| anathema_ | L3top, is there any tool to config plymouth or grub settings? | 20:29 |

| pepee | pgib, you can install gnome3 or some other window manager | 20:52 |
| koffel | just can't get internet access to clients they have dns and can ping off the client | 20:52 |
| pyboy | emanuele_: go to system settings and go to the setting screen and there should be an option that you are looking for | 20:53 |
| pepee | danileigh79, what error? | 20:53 |
| pepee | koffel, do they have an IP? checked the interfaces? use ifconfig | 20:54 |
| danileigh79 | pepee: nm, it's working now, was telling me unable to locate package, but I was trying to update from update-manager | 20:54 |
| pgib | pepee, I think the multi-monitor quirks could be alleviated if there was a way to move the launcher to the bottom of the screen. It just forces me to wait an extra 2 seconds every time I move my mouse past the middle of the screen. Yeah, I guess I'll have to revert back to Gnome3 - I was just excited about the HUD. but on second thought, the HUD cause error reports fairly frequently anyways. | 20:56 |

| pgib | yeah, but would rather not move the mouse nearly 4000 pixels to the left when trying to use the launcher. It also shows apps from ALL desktops, would be nicer if it only shows apps open on the current desktop.

| MirkoKa | Psi-Jack: Sun (Oracle) Java has been removed from Ubuntu an no official support is given anymore. You need to install it from the Sun/Oracle supplied .tgz. You probably need to uninstal the OpenJDK stuff, but I'm not sure, there are instructions on the web which should also apply to 12.04 | 21:31 |

| MirkoKa | mikester01: so many thing can possible go wrong there^^ did you correcly adjust the IP numbers? is eth0 correct or is it eth1? is your eth* connected to router (or other PC) which is off, etc. did you tell KVM to use the bridge interface? While we could help, I guess the KVM folks would be a better place to ask. :-) | 22:23 |

| mikester01 | MirkoKa, ultimately what I'm doing now is outside of KVM...the issue is getting the actual bridge set up | 22:25 |

| wassy121 | nafta: run-parts isn't meant for that use. What are you trying to do? | 22:28 |
| === jameslor1 is now known as jameslord | ||
| L3top | zoltan what is the wifi hardware? (check lspci) | 22:28 |
| wassy121 | nafta: I think run-parts is part of the cron package itself. I would try writing a small script, and put that in /etc/cron.d/ | 22:28 |
| MirkoKa | taherabdo: that's Ok. The .gvfs directory is special. please try pidgin now. | 22:28 |

| taherabdo | mirkoka: ok | 22:29 |
| wassy121 | nafta: a script that does something like "for file in `ls /var/www/cron/`; do php $file; done" | 22:29 |

| nafta | and how could I tell it to run like....every single minute | 22:30 |
| wassy121 | nafta: pretty close, yes. Directory needs to be changed, but that is the right syntax | 22:30 |
| wassy121 | nafta: I would put it in a shell script in like /home/blah/scripts/run-crons.sh . | 22:30 |

| MirkoKa | taherabdo: great, I belive we have fixed your problem. access to the root directory is always permitted for a normal user. why do you think you need access to it? | 22:32 |
| L3top | You should not parse the output of ls in scripts... and $(command) is preferred over the older `command` see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs | 22:32 |

| SolarisBoy | while read handles spaces.. | 22:37 |

| fusk | hello. Is it a known problem that 11.10 or 12.04 freezes after sleep on notebooks ? | 22:37 |
| pooltable | ok the console is all black i do not see the system name at all how to fix? | 22:38 |
| SolarisBoy | hmm | 22:38 |
| MirkoKa | taherabdo: well, yes, no, sort of. what you are is a "main user" (windows speak). you are still a normal user who doesn't have access to the system files for example. but as you are a main user who is allowed to use sudo you can turn yourself into the admin user root. in other words, you don't have access to the system files unless you insist on it by using sudo. | 22:38 |
| SolarisBoy | -exec is executing command for each entry found | 22:38 |
| SolarisBoy | and juggling the name in '{}' | 22:38 |
| SolarisBoy | so depending on how you word find and exec and how you use while determines the usability of both | 22:38 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 22:38 |

| wassy121 | abdo: so what do you need? | 22:41 |
| pyboy | abdo: type sudo apt-get install freenode | 22:41 |
| abdo | yeah i ve another pc | 22:41 |
| wassy121 | JessicaW: they are for "pass" and "fsck" if I recall correctly | 22:41 |
| pyboy | lol | 22:41 |
| JessicaW | wassy121: that's what aI was thinking too. | 22:41 |
| nafta | wassy121 that last script runs fantastic | 22:41 |
| nafta | thanks a lot to both | 22:41 |
| lauratika | is there a way to show rhythmbox icon in panel on 12.04? | 22:41 |
| wassy121 | JessicaW: man fstab tells it like it is. dump and pass | 22:41 |
| JessicaW | wassy121: why would you want to fsck a network mounted disk at every reboot? | 22:41 |
| wassy121 | JessicaW: you don't | 22:42 |
| shallwe | AMD Dual-Core E-350 with ati, is it working with 3d? | 22:42 |
| SolarisBoy | you dont | 22:42 |
| SolarisBoy | generally network mounts are set to NOT fsk | 22:42 |
| SolarisBoy | *fsck | 22:42 |
| nafta | wassy121 so basically...in my crontab -e I can add * * * * * * /home/myscript | 22:42 |
| MirkoKa | JessicaW: see man fstab for the explanation of the fs_freq and fs_passno options | 22:42 |
| nafta | and that's it...right? | 22:42 |
| SolarisBoy | no | 22:42 |
| wassy121 | nafta: that's right. | 22:42 |
| JessicaW | SolarisBoy: the ubuntu wiki says to put 0 1 for a windows share but I don't think that's right. | 22:42 |
| kasii | OerHeks, am waiting for u | 22:42 |
| nafta | wassy121 mind my asking...that crontab thing is always running by default? or do i have to activate it? in case I restart the server etc? | 22:43 |
| JessicaW | pretty sure it should be 0 0 | 22:43 |
| coldlogic | new to this. how do i join another channel? | 22:43 |
| pyboy | abdo: you are on freenode what are you talking about | 22:43 |
| wassy121 | coldlogic: /j #channelname | 22:43 |
| L3top | Because while does not terminate filenames with nulls given from ls is my understanding SolarisBoy. | 22:43 |
| taherabdo | mirkoka: thanQ very much, but can you expalin the command please | 22:43 |
| doktah | Can someone please tell me how I run a program from applications menu as an administrator? | 22:43 |
| pyboy | codepal: type /join #channelname | 22:43 |
| SolarisBoy | L3top: dump is for backups pass is for fsck | 22:43 |
| JessicaW | nafta: it's always running | 22:43 |
| SolarisBoy | i don't know if you should be setting archive bits on windows FS | 22:43 |
| SolarisBoy | do you even use dump to back things up? | 22:44 |
| Hilikus | i'm using ubuntu software center to update virtualbox's .deb package. I clicked install but there is no feedback, how can i know if its working or stuck or it's finished? | 22:44 |
| abdo | yeah im sure im on freenode but i ve another pc . pz help | 22:44 |
| SolarisBoy | if not than it shouldn't matter either or | 22:44 |
| wassy121 | nafta: it should always be running. It's a system service that you probably wouldn't ever turn off. | 22:44 |
| JessicaW | nafta: once you put something in crontab, crontab will run it forever. as long as your application is working. | 22:44 |
| Hilikus | this software center program looks pretty bad to me | 22:44 |

| SolarisBoy | yea but thats 6 entries for time slots | 22:44 |
| SolarisBoy | there are 5 in cron | 22:44 |
| SolarisBoy | so its wrong | 22:44 |

| SolarisBoy | L3top: it depends on IFS | 22:45 |

| SolarisBoy | and you can set that accordingly to what you expect to receive in most cases, but as explained there are more than one way to cut a frog in linux | 22:45 |

| Sm1th | For someone new to Ubuntu what are the first things I should do after a fresh install. I checked sound and wifi, they are good. i installed xchat hoping for some guidance. :) | 22:51 |
| KM0201 | SolarisBoy: upgrading what? | 22:51 |
| SolarisBoy | ubuntu versions | 22:51 |
| wassy121 | Sm1th: Install chrome, chrome-to-phone, flash plugin, umm . .. | 22:51 |
| wassy121 | make sure your 3d works | 22:51 |
| KM0201 | SolarisBoy: what are you using now, and why not? | 22:51 |

| iceroot | Sm1th: enjoying is he first you should do | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | SolarisBoy: then thats fine.. just make sure you don't let it go EOL before you upgrade. | 22:52 |
| OerHeks | kasii sorry just had to went away, did you see the last message about gpointing-device-settings | 22:52 |

| Sm1th | it is quite nice iceroot. :) | 22:52 |
| SolarisBoy | last time that happend was 8.x days =) | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | SolarisBoy: whats wrong w/ 12.04? (or is it there's just nothing wrong w/ 11.10?) | 22:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Sm1th: it kind of depends what you will be using the computer for. is it an internet/email machine, a gaming rig, a school/work computer, etc? | 22:52 |
| pyboy | Sm1th: what are you going to use for | 22:52 |
| iceroot | Sm1th: nice to hear that | 22:53 |
| Sm1th | its just a laptop that i will be tinkering with and learning the ins and outs of linux | 22:53 |
| SolarisBoy | nothing that i know of yet - i use ubuntu at home for a desktop and at work for a desktop/laptop - so i seriously dont need/want any unexpected breakage of things in either - i generally like to monitor the threads, see whats going on etc before i just up and upgrade anyhow | 22:53 |
| Sm1th | i personally prefer mozilla over chrome... and all my email is browser based. | 22:53 |
| pyboy | Sm1th: do you wanna learn the commandline aka the terminal | 22:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Sm1th: alright. to check 3d, install a 3d game like tremoulus, urbanterror, etc and see if it's laggy. | 22:54 |

| MirkoKa | mrdeb: not sure how to remove it (remove ubutfox?), but can't you just disable the addon? | 23:08 |
| bluebomber | Firefox doesn't appear in my application switcher (ALT-TAB) anymore when it's open. Any ideas? | 23:08 |
| mrdeb | no i cant disable it MirkoKa | 23:08 |
| mrdeb | what is the name in apt | 23:08 |
| xangua | (18:08:41) mrdeb: no i cant disable it MirkoKa - i have just done that | 23:09 |
| mrdeb | how | 23:09 |
| doktah | Can someone please tell me how I run a program from applications menu as an administrator? | 23:10 |

| mrdeb | xangua: how | 23:11 |
| MACscr | can i log directly in as root into an ubuntu system when using an ssh key? Do i just need to set it to allow direct root access to ssh? | 23:11 |
| L3top | in most situations that is a bad idea doktah. what version ubuntu? | 23:11 |
| jellow | doktah: use gksu | 23:11 |
| xangua | mrdeb: on firefox addon tab | 23:11 |
| MirkoKa | mrdeb: if you can't disable it (why not), try removing the "ubufox" package. also pleas learn abot patience, there's no need to repeat the question every minute :-) | 23:11 |
| mrdeb | xangua: how do you remove it from apt | 23:11 |
| mrdeb | ok | 23:11 |
| mrdeb | thank you | 23:11 |
| jrib | MACscr: you can... why would you want to though? | 23:11 |
| xangua | mrdeb: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 23:11 |
| mrdeb | so its ubufox | 23:12 |
| MACscr | jrib: my remote management software wont do sudo as far as i know | 23:12 |
| jrib | MACscr: what software is that? | 23:12 |
| JamesB | Say, is it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to a different distro without reinstalling? | 23:12 |
| ThePendulum | JamesB: A different Ubuntu distro, or a completely different one? | 23:12 |
| jrib | JamesB: umm, define "a different distro" | 23:12 |
| MACscr | jrib: cloudmin | 23:13 |
| JamesB | Well, for instance, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, possibly Debian etc. if the former two have the same changes as ubuntu 10.04->12.04... | 23:13 |
| jrib | !webmin | MACscr | 23:13 |
| ubottu | MACscr: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 23:13 |
| ThePendulum | JamesB: Kubuntu and Xubuntu should be possible, but perhaps not be flawlessly. Ubuntu --> Debian... probably not. | 23:13 |
| LinuxMonkey | mrdeb, its probably xul-ext-ubufox if your using 12.04 | 23:14 |
| MACscr | jrib: i dont think i ever said webmin | 23:14 |
| iceroot | JamesB: you can easily install xubuntu/kubuntu/lubuntu by "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" or "lubuntu-desktop" and so on, a change to debian is not possible | 23:14 |
| jrib | MACscr: doesn't cloudmin run on top op webmin? | 23:14 |
| jrib | s/op/of | 23:14 |
| mrdeb | LinuxMonkey: i remove ubufox, so may it will work | 23:14 |
| MACscr | jrib: yes, but only on the management host. Its not required on the systems it manages | 23:15 |
| JamesB | Hmm ok, i will try Kubuntu first then. 10.04->12.04 has made my netbook into a nice shiny brick more or less, as "Dash Home" does not work, and there are about four icons other than that, aside from the obvious embarassments to Fitts' Law I am seeing | 23:15 |
| jrib | MACscr: I see | 23:15 |
| mrdeb | i went back to 10.04 becaus 12.04 was too slow and things didntwork | 23:15 |
| MACscr | but it does use scp for some things and you cant sudo with scp according to the author | 23:15 |
| jrib | MACscr: well you can ssh as root like you said, just drop a key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys . I handle backups that way | 23:15 |
| ThePendulum | JamesB: What keeps you from a full reinstall? | 23:15 |
| MACscr | jrib: ok, thanks | 23:15 |
| JamesB | I have programs and software I actually need to keep? | 23:15 |
| LinuxMonkey | ah yeah its ubufox then | 23:16 |
| mrdeb | thanks | 23:16 |
| ThePendulum | JamesB: Can't you list the software you're using and reinstall all of it? | 23:16 |
| mrdeb | also vlc doesnt work on 1004 anymore from ppa | 23:16 |
| mrdeb | is this true | 23:16 |
| Fyodorovna | JamesB, try resetting unity alt-f2 type unity --reset This puts unity to install state. | 23:16 |

| mrdeb | ? | 23:17 |

| tridentfish | Nothing special and I have used different environments to help with the spikes. All programs causes the spikes pretty much. | 23:24 |
| ThePendulum | Sm1th: In your System Settings panel, you should find an item "Additional Drivers" | 23:24 |
| ThePendulum | Sm1th: If there are additional drivers for your system, they should be listed | 23:24 |

| ThePendulum | pedroTI: Have you tried Pidgin? I recommend it over amsn anytime. 1 second, trying to find out how to install aMSN if you really like it | 23:26 |
| Sm1th | ThePendulum: it says that there are no additional driver needed. | 23:26 |

| LinuxMonkey | Fyodorovna, he's allready in #e | 23:27 |
| Sm1th | ThePendulum: No, i was just sort of learning how to test certain aspects of this system, being my first with ubuntu and all. | 23:27 |
| MirkoKa | pedroTI: amsn in in the repos, what problem do you face exactly when installing it? | 23:27 |
| Fyodorovna | LinuxMonkey, wasn't sure if they actually made it loil. | 23:27 |
| tridentfish | I have all ready connected I was just saying what I have tried. | 23:27 |
| Sm1th | ThePendulum: i found that glxgears runs at about 60fps in fullscreen so i think the 3d part is ok. | 23:28 |
| ThePendulum | Sm1th: Alright, seems like Ubuntu has the optimal graphics drivers already installed then | 23:28 |
| Sm1th | ThePendulum: cool. Thanks for the heads up. | 23:28 |

| autojack | has anyone here used ubuntu on ec2, and noticed that their instance lacks any files in /proc/xen ? puppet uses those to figure out if the box is a VM or physical, so that breaks here. | 23:32 |

| bitboy | how do i make virtual box full screen | 23:36 |
| Chax | I just made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu and am wondering why it seems slow launching new programs. It was deathly slow before I updated my VGA, then a bit better, but I find that every once and a while it stops and freezes for about 1 - 10 seconds. Any ideas? | 23:36 |
| bitboy | the ubuntu os only takes up a small portion of my screen | 23:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bitboy: it's in the menu | 23:36 |
| MirkoKa | bitboy: install the guest additions | 23:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Chax: what are the specs (cpu, ram, graphics card) of the system? | 23:37 |
| Fyodorovna | bitboy, install the guest additions | 23:37 |
| ThePendulum | bitboy: Crack up the resolution and click the host key (right ctrl by default, I think) + f | 23:37 |
| tridentfish | It just says Intel Atom for it. | 23:37 |
| KM0201 | you can also go to "scaled" mode... and just adjust th ewindow size (thats what i usually do. | 23:37 |
| pepee | tridentfish, ahh k | 23:37 |
| pepee | tridentfish, what laptop? please, specify the model | 23:38 |
| pedroTI | and then | 23:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tridentfish: 1/2GB of ram is rather small for the applications ubuntu uses (firefox, libreoffice, etc). You might want to consider an upgrade (1GB total should suffice) | 23:38 |
| pedroTI | Fyodorovna | 23:38 |
| tridentfish | Acer AOA 150. | 23:38 |
| pedroTI | and then | 23:38 |
| Fyodorovna | pedroTI, do you know how to add the ppa to your sources.list? | 23:38 |
| KM0201 | tridentfish: have you tried other linux distributions, to see if it does the same thing? i'd consider giving Fedora's LXDE spin a try and see if it helps. | 23:39 |

| KM0201 | tridentfish: if you had a nasty experience w/ fedora, i can't imagine you having a good experience w/ BSD | 23:41 |

| tables | anyone try nat port forwarding on virtualbox on ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| xangua | Fyodorovna: that PPA you suggested doesn't really has what he is looking for, all packages failed to build | 23:42 |

| lapsusbrutus | tables: install bridge-utils, and I send you config for setting up bridge | 23:43 |
| tridentfish | The issue I had with it was the partition and stuff screwed with my other os's. | 23:43 |
| MirkoKa | tridentfish: sorry to say, but that is a user problem, not an OS problem :-) and BSD makes partitionnig even harder | 23:44 |
| KM0201 | tridentfish: what other OS was on the the machine? | 23:45 |
| Chax | I just made the switch to Ubuntu and have found that it seems to freeze up for anywheres from 1 - 10 seconds every so often. Can anyone help me out? http://paste.ubuntu.com/958773/ | 23:45 |
| cpruitt | Can anyone recommend a good book on administration for Ubuntu (used as a web server). Ideally it'd read well for a developer, not a sysadmin. I want to learn but I don't have much sysadmin background. | 23:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tridentfish: as someone that uses ubuntu, fedora, archlinux and freebsd all at home, freebsd is WAY harder than any of the other 3! | 23:46 |

| === rusty is now known as Guest35836 | ||
| MirkoKa | Chax: does that happen with specific programs which you can name? | 23:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | cpruitt: if you are primarily a developer, why are you running server edition...? | 23:46 |
| tridentfish | lubuntu as of right now but in the past I have had backtrack, windows xp, fedora, puppy, and supper os. | 23:46 |
| iceroot | brightsparks: if you dont need it | 23:46 |
| cpruitt | DarwinSurvivor: Because it's my web server? | 23:47 |
| MirkoKa | brightsparks: if you don't have any bluetooth devicesm, yes | 23:47 |
| brightsparks | iceroot: hi thanks. | 23:47 |
| Chax | Xchat, Firefox, and I find it takes longer than I would expect to startup a program. | 23:47 |

| brightsparks | ok thanks guys. | 23:49 |
| cpruitt | DarwinSurvivor: yeah Rails mostly | 23:49 |
| MirkoKa | brightsparks: yes, a tiny bit | 23:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MirkoKa: his pastebin shows about 3GB | 23:49 |
| tridentfish | Rails lol that is fun to learn. | 23:49 |
| cpruitt | DarwinSurvivor: But I run my own server, not VPS so I really want to understand the nuts & bolts of what I'm doing. | 23:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | cpruitt: how much server stuff do you *want* to know? If running your own server you really should know about basic networking and ipfilters as well as keeping it updated | 23:50 |
| cordoval | hi guys my friend Rusty Guest35836 is having some problems he also upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 and is having some errors trying to boot, can someone help please? | 23:50 |
| crond | cordoval, just ask the question, if someone can help, they will! :) | 23:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | cordoval: someone just trying pining him and he didn't respond. we can't help someone that doesn't talk... | 23:51 |
| pepee | tridentfish, http://askubuntu.com/questions/49477/acer-aspire-5532-overheating | 23:51 |
| cpruitt | DarwinSurvivor: We'll I *want* to know it all, but I'm realistic. I need to at least better understand the basics of security and the software I'm running for things like FTP and mail, etc… I don't like being nervous about changing config files because I don' know if something will break. | 23:51 |
| Draton | Anyone have an experience w/ a GTX 680 on ubuntu? Is the driver out/stable? | 23:51 |
| cordoval | he is typing what he sees on the screen options i think he is on recovery window | 23:51 |
| tohuw | cpruitt: Fear is the beginning of wisdom. | 23:52 |
| cordoval | however if he goes for mount all or something like that it is going to take him like 30 hours | 23:52 |
| Sm1th | Is there an open source version of vnc that is compatable with the enterprise version for windows? | 23:52 |
| cpruitt | Also, I need to be able to troubleshoot better. My server crashes at least once a day for an unknown reason. Suspect hardware but months of looking have yielded no results. I just don't know enough to keep going. | 23:52 |
| === Sazpaimon__ is now known as Sazpaimon | ||
| cordoval | he has been doing that and nothing so i told him to reboot and ask here | 23:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | cpruitt: ok, what I usually do is set up a headless server (like you have) and then also have a copy of everything running on a local (development) machine. try the changes on the local machine. if it works, copy the changes to the server. | 23:52 |
| tohuw | cpruitt: Have you checked dmesg? | 23:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !lamp | cpruitt | 23:52 |
| ubottu | cpruitt: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !iptables | cpruitt | 23:52 |
| ubottu | cpruitt: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 23:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | cpruitt: start with those 2, then check out the docs for the other services (ftp, etc) that you are using | 23:53 |
| cpruitt | tohuw: Oh yeah… I've checked every log I can find, mucked about with GRUB settings, video drivers… the works. | 23:53 |
| cordoval | what happens if he hits ctrl+d? | 23:53 |
| cpruitt | DarwinSurvivor: Thanks | 23:53 |
| pepee | tridentfish, try this: sudo sh -c 'echo -n "enabled" > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode' | 23:53 |
| elky | How do fonts get installed these days? | 23:53 |
| cpruitt | tohuw: Sometimes it reboots itself, other times it never comes back | 23:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | cpruitt: if you are experiencing regular crashes, there is a HIGH probability it's the RAM. reboot and run memtest from grub | 23:54 |
| MirkoKa | elky: copy them to your ~/.fonts directory, done | 23:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | cpruitt: if you are new to servers, I would hold off on hosting a mail server until you are VERY comfortable. It's probably the most complicated service you can run on ubuntu! | 23:55 |

| zyltoid | which package is flash 64bit from adobe? | 23:55 |
| cpruitt | DarwinSurvivor: Yeah, I need to block off some down time to go to my data center for a memory test. The weird thing is that I have another box that is exactly the same config but no hardware has been exchanged. It does the exact same thing even when we tried a different linux distro. | 23:55 |
| AngrySpam | +1 loltroll | 23:56 |
| cpruitt | DarwinSurvivor: We don't host email. Just apache / ftp at the moment. | 23:56 |
| cpruitt | We have a separate mail server for customers that want it. | 23:56 |
| tridentfish | DarwinSurvivor I thought IRC was a easy to use. I will probably skip it. Thank for the warning. lol | 23:57 |

| JollySpam | yes it is | 23:58 |
| JollySpam | jsut type in the box and hit enter | 23:59 |
| MirkoKa | elky: copy them to a fitting (or own) directory in /usr/share/fonts if iÄm not mistaken, they will be picked up from there too (inotify is really cool^^) | 23:59 |
| KM0201 | JollySpam: i'm not disputing that.. i'm trying to figure out why he thinks its difficult to use. | 23:59 |
| Menno | you can also drag 'n' drop to Ubuntu's font picker, can't you? | 23:59 |
