| devinus | Menno: why would noexec be bad for /var/tmp? | 00:00 |
| tridentfish | For me yeah I would rather code and I stink at it. lol | 00:00 |
| Menno | "On GNOME, you can also directly open the virtual folder fonts:/ (within a Nautilus window, choose Go -> Location or press Ctrl+L) and drag and drop fonts into this folder" | 00:00 |
| Menno | devinus: I can think of a few examples of programs that generate temp files they expect to execute | 00:00 |

| devinus | hrm | 00:00 |
| Menno | Oracle installer maybe. | 00:00 |
| Menno | Dunno, give it a try and see what happens. | 00:00 |
| zyltoid | is the flash plugin from the default repos 64bit? | 00:00 |
| Menno | nosuid seems safe. | 00:00 |
| devinus | Menno: another question, where is nosuid actually useful for? | 00:00 |
| Menno | when inserting untrusted media | 00:01 |
| devinus | what does suid do? | 00:01 |
| Menno | if a non-root user can insert media which is exec and not nosuid, they can gain root. | 00:01 |
| Menno | setuid programs run as the user (and group, if setgid) that owns the file. | 00:01 |
| Menno | The most obvious example of such a program is /usr/bin/sudo | 00:01 |
| devinus | Menno: okay, so i want suid on e.g. /home if i have stuff in my ~/bin right? | 00:02 |
| captine | hi all. I am still struggling with my wifi that keeps dropping me (broadcom) on 12.04. Have just disabled IPV6 after which my connection came back... not sure if that could be linked? How can i check | 00:03 |
| captine | the wifi stays connected, but cannot ping anything or view websites | 00:04 |
| captine | will see how long i stay connected now with IPV6 disable | 00:04 |
| MirkoKa | devinus: NO! you do not want suid! suid is a bad but nesesarry method to run programs as root by normal users, programs like sudo, passwd, X, etc. suid are absolute exceptions | 00:04 |
| devinus | ah | 00:04 |
| devinus | one very last question | 00:05 |
| devinus | noexec on /boot | 00:05 |
| devinus | does that make sense? | 00:05 |
| devinus | i mean, isn't the kernel being "executed" ? | 00:05 |
| MirkoKa | devinus: not by the kernel ;-) all permission checks are done by the kernel, so the kernel isn't executed in terms of user permissions. | 00:06 |
| devinus | ah okay | 00:07 |
| devinus | great thanks | 00:07 |
| Menno | devinus: setuid on a directory has no meaning, and setgid means folders created in it will inherit the parent folder's group instead of the user's group by default. | 00:07 |
| Menno | you shouldn't need setuid binaries in ~/bin | 00:07 |
| Menno | try to use sudo instead, and keep setuid binaries either managed by the package manager, or isolate 'em to /usr/local/bin. | 00:07 |

| pencilpenpen | i was using drag-n-drop to copy a lot of files to a windows computer. | 00:17 |
| pencilpenpen | after a few files it failed and asked if i wanted to skip | 00:17 |
| pencilpenpen | i hit 'retry' several times but it didnt work | 00:17 |
| pencilpenpen | i tried the copy again and it said it failed due to invalid arguments | 00:18 |
| pencilpenpen | i rebooted my computer and now the windows machine is not visible on the network | 00:18 |

| pencilpenpen | sorry | 00:18 |
| pencilpenpen | i would appreciate any advice on how to reconnect to the computer and transfer the files | 00:19 |
| peter_c | im trying to configure a static ip, and google tells me to edit file /etc/network/interfaces, but theres no such file. anyone know which file to edit? | 00:19 |
| Bsims | pencilpenpen: reboot teh windows machine... wait a bit then reboot your linux machine? | 00:19 |
| L3top | It sounds like your windows machine dropped from the network during the transfer... but hard to say for sure. | 00:19 |
| L3top | peter_c: you should definitely have an /etc/network/interfaces file. | 00:20 |
| peter_c | crap nevermind, im using centOS | 00:20 |

| whoever | what is the security app name, it begins with an "a" that ships with ubuntu and prevents some system changes | 00:22 |
| barberan | hi | 00:22 |
| Jimu | so i'm upgrading my laptop, i torrented the alternate cd, following the ubuntu.com directions, and i've mounted the iso, but it isn't allowing me to run the upgrade | 00:23 |
| MirkoKa | peter_c: then see /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/* but the NetworkManager shoudl work in both cases | 00:24 |
| MirkoKa | whoever: appamor? | 00:24 |
| Jimu | oh wait... i'm an idiot, it's working | 00:24 |
| spaceneedle | I just clicked clicked properties for an mp4 file and up pops a window that says:creating a properties window and that I can cancel the operation by clicking cancel. But nothing happens! | 00:25 |
| MirkoKa | whoever: apparmor I mean | 00:25 |
| jellow | smcgrath: | 00:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pencilpenpen: that doesn't mean the file-sharing application on the windows machine didn't crash or something | 00:25 |
| jellow | spaceneedle: you can use xkill , then click on the offending window | 00:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pencilpenpen: unless you can verify that the shared folder is still visible to other computers, REBOOT it | 00:26 |
| Bsims | yeah uptime is bragging rights... it works is better | 00:26 |
| pencilpenpen | it might take a while to get permission to reboot it, but i'll try it. thanks | 00:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pencilpenpen: is it not your machine? | 00:26 |
| Bsims | pencilpenpen: heh restart the networking daemon? | 00:27 |
| pencilpenpen | it is not my machine | 00:27 |
| scroogemcduk | Hi I was wondering if anyone has ever developed c++/tk on ubuntu? | 00:27 |
| netsmith2012 | Greetings earthlings | 00:27 |
| netsmith2012 | Is this ubuntu land ? | 00:27 |
| Bsims | pencilpenpen: if its not your machine kick it upstairs | 00:27 |
| scroogemcduk | One of its dependencies is the X11 header files, and I am having trouble trying to find those, does anyone know where that is? | 00:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !headers | 00:29 |
| ubottu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 00:29 |
| Bsims | scroogemcduk: install the X11 dev packages | 00:29 |
| MirkoKa | netsmith2012: no, as the channel name suggest this is the #windows-vista-on-the-mac-phone land. ;) SCNR you have a question? | 00:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hmm, wrong headers :( | 00:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !x11 headers | 00:29 |
| Bsims | headers are seperate for packages for reasons that were valid when drives where small | 00:29 |
| netsmith2012 | I have a simple question about Ubuntu. I am just checking it out at the web site for the first time. | 00:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scott__: try libx11-dev | 00:30 |
| Samwan | hi guys. Now i researched for about a few weeks but there seems to be no solution. I have different graphic cards inside my PC cause I have 3 screens and no money for 2 high end cards... so I have an AMD HD 4670 and an HD 7750, is there any way to use both at the same time? | 00:30 |
| MirkoKa | netsmith2012: so ask your question | 00:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | he's gone, sorry scott__ | 00:30 |
| pencilpenpen | i think the problem is my computer. there is another linux computer on the network with a shared folder and I can not see it. however I can see the network printer. | 00:30 |
| netsmith2012 | Question: Does Ubuntu include it's own Linux implementation besides it's own GUI user interface. | 00:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !kernel | 00:32 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 00:32 |
| MirkoKa | netsmith2012: Ubuntu is a Linux distribution (a compination of the Linux kernel and other applications) | 00:32 |
| Steve132 | I can't seem to find the 'advanced' tab in the new installer | 00:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | netsmith2012: I believe ubuntu may apply some patches, but they should be listed at the above URL | 00:32 |
| tedryder | I put this Ubuntu application on my laptop and now I can't find Internet Explorer | 00:32 |
| Steve132 | that used to be there...is there a way to control how the installer installs grub any more? | 00:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | netsmith2012: and they definitely supply additional modules | 00:32 |
| MirkoKa | netsmith2012: in other words, Ubuntu *IS* a Linux system | 00:32 |
| Steve132 | That is necessary for certain installs, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Mac_OSX.2C_Vista.2C_and_Ubuntu | 00:32 |
| tertitten | I've recently built a distro/respin of openSUSE, i'm starting to regret using it as base, so for building a distro based on ubuntu what tools do anyone that has done it before recommend ? UCK, Remastersys? | 00:33 |
| Bsims | netsmith2012: no linux is pretty much linux | 00:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tedryder: ubuntu is not an application, it is an entire operating system. It will either replace your windows installation or allow you to pick between the 2 at install time | 00:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tedryder: if you are simply looking for a web browser, use firefox, it is installed by default in ubuntu | 00:33 |
| tedryder | Lol...just joking. | 00:33 |
| Fyodorovna | Steve132, the custom install is still there it is called other in the gui of choosing the install placement | 00:34 |
| === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi | ||
| Bsims | netsmith2012: there are three main paths apt, rpm and build from source... they all work the same, diference is in package manager | 00:34 |
| wedgie | tedryder: so you DID fine internet explorer? :O | 00:34 |
| tedryder | Seriously though...12.04 is awesome! I may stop using Windows now. | 00:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tedryder: had a feeling. If you DO want IE though, it can be run in wine :P | 00:34 |
| deww | Samwan: i havent used amd/ati cards before, but i know it can be done. my coworkers have done it, but we use nvidia | 00:34 |
| Steve132 | Got a screenshot of this? I can't seem to find it | 00:34 |
| danmackay | unity still sucks and will forever suck :P | 00:34 |
| Steve132 | Fyodorovna: got a screenshot? | 00:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tedryder: i've actually DONE that for some web-dev work before :( | 00:34 |
| tedryder | I didn't like Unity before but for some reason, I'm really liking it now--seems more polished. | 00:34 |
| * Bsims used unity long enough to install kde and wmaker | 00:35 | |
| === steve-o_ is now known as geogeek | ||
| Jordan_U | Steve132: Note however that grub's boot sector should *always* be installed to the MBR. | 00:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tedryder: fyi most users that don't know linux doesn't have IE would never find irc... | 00:35 |
| tedryder | lol | 00:35 |
| Steve132 | Jordan_U: doesn't that run counter to what that install guide says? | 00:35 |
| Bsims | netsmith2012: the other differences are basicaly theological in nature | 00:35 |
| Samwan | deww, on my workplace I use nvidia aswell, the nvidia drivers implement this option, at home I have AMD, so this option is not there inside the driver. Inside windows it can be done, but I thought there might be some dirty workaround under linux cause I can't be the only one to use 3 screens with 2 different AMD cards on this world | 00:35 |
| tedryder | Nothing wrong with that. I still can't program in C. We all know different things. | 00:35 |
| MirkoKa | danmackay: please don't spam this channel with "i hate unity" messages (i don't like it too). complain to canonical, we can do pretty much nothign about it. thanks | 00:35 |
| Chax | I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with 3 gigs of RAM and having some problems, could that be why? | 00:36 |
| Jordan_U | Steve132: If it does it's only because that install guide is wrong. | 00:36 |
| Steve132 | The reason for it is that macs can't handle MBR correctly | 00:36 |
| Bsims | Chax: no... what video card/cpu do you use? and what problems are you having? | 00:36 |
| Steve132 | they need refit | 00:36 |
| tedryder | I do have a silly question though. Can I get a system monitor near the clock at the top right? | 00:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Chax: 3GB of ram is more than sufficient to run any pre-installed software on ubuntu. the only software requiring more would be audio/video editing software and rendering applications | 00:37 |
| ox1de | i keep getting a blank window called "debconf" what is it? | 00:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tedryder: not sure about unity, bug gnome-shell has extensions that do that | 00:37 |
| Chax | Bsims: I am running an NVidia card, 512mb, but I can't find the information on it in system settings. I am just having freezing problems occasionally. It says my graphics is UNKNOWN. | 00:37 |
| Bsims | Chax: and did you install the nvida drivers? | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | Steve132: rEFIt is not stored in the MBR, it's an EFI application. | 00:38 |
| === JollySpam is now known as HungrySpam | ||
| tedryder | Thanks | 00:38 |
| Chax | Bsims: It updated video drivers after the install. | 00:38 |
| Fyodorovna | Steve132, Something other is the one. http://imagebin.org/210423 | 00:38 |
| Sample | according to the command `top` is anyone else seeing their compiz CPU usage above like, 4% ? | 00:38 |
| Bsims | Chax: do glxinfo|less for me would you and msg me the results | 00:39 |

| gimpy15 | I installed 12.04 as an attempt to use Ubuntu after jumping ship to Debian in 10.04. I'm having nothing but problems. How do i get Ubuntu to stop logging errors to the console? I killed rsyslogd and it still spits out errors to the console I'm trying to work on! | 00:40 |

| ox1de | ok | 00:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: also, errors are only dumped to TTY1, if you need to use a recovery console, use TTY2-9 | 00:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: hit CTRL+ALT+F2 for a clean terminal | 00:42 |
| gimpy15 | DarwinSurvivor: Nope, errors on TTY2 too. | 00:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: really? what are they? | 00:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: the only errors you should see on TT2 are errors caused by bash and your login (system errors all go to TTY1) | 00:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: have you added anything to .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc? | 00:42 |
| gimpy15 | DarwinSurvivor: " [345.354] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed" and then just one about "Assuming drive cache: Write through" | 00:42 |
| gimpy15 | DarwinSurvivor: Nope. Still trying to get LXDE to even start. | 00:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: so this is a clean install with a clean home folder? | 00:43 |
| gimpy15 | DarwinSurvivor: Other than installing lubuntu-desktop, yes....but my /home is encrypted (by whatever method the installer does it). | 00:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: ok, just trying to rule out old debian settings/etc that may be still in there. | 00:44 |
| gimpy15 | DarwinSurvivor: Nope, formatted everything. | 00:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: did you live-cd run correctly? | 00:44 |

| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: I'm not super familiar with ubuntu's logging system, but you could try searching for the error in /var/log and see which log they are ending up in | 01:03 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: the rest of the command would be to take stdout and put it in a file | 01:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: I would still *highly* recommend seeing if the live-cd boots | 01:03 |
| lauratika | anyone knows where the image for lightdm wallpaper is stored? | 01:03 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/tar-split-question-605013/ || example: 'tar -cvpj 'directory/name'/ | split -d -b 4000m - /name/of/archive.tar.bz2' | 01:04 |
| hwq001 | SolarisBoy: so ,is there any way to get it back be a folder? | 01:04 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: afaik you never removed the folder,, did you? | 01:04 |
| labyrinth | Darwin: yes, but I'm using apt-mirror. We have to be very choosy with what we mirror because there is no fiber optic to this island, so several hundred people share a 1.5mbps connection | 01:04 |
| SolarisBoy | you just created some odd data froma failed attempt at tarring it | 01:04 |
| gimpy15 | DarwinSurvivor: Just in /var/log/syslog. Why? If a clean install is failing how would a live boot do any better? | 01:04 |
| === christopher is now known as Guest34808 | ||
| hwq001 | SolarisBoy: I need to re-compress the folder? | 01:05 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: you need to do whatever it is you were previously trying to properly so it creates the tar.gz file | 01:05 |
| anon_inFLuX | @hwq001 use touch on the file | 01:05 |
| SolarisBoy | as stated your missing a piece of the command | 01:05 |
| === STONE_COLD is now known as MORTIX | ||
| SolarisBoy | why would touching the file do something? | 01:06 |
| SolarisBoy | other than updating the modification time? | 01:06 |
| anon_inFLuX | info about it | 01:06 |
| SolarisBoy | dought it | 01:06 |
| gaelfx | how do you stop software center from showing all these useless "magazines" I never wanted to see? | 01:06 |
| SolarisBoy | touch wont turn a data file to a tar archive | 01:06 |
| anon_inFLuX | also modification | 01:06 |
| SolarisBoy | again what does that have to do with tar opening a data file? | 01:06 |
| SolarisBoy | and not a tar file? | 01:06 |
| anon_inFLuX | what is the full issue | 01:07 |
| SolarisBoy | tab up | 01:07 |
| SolarisBoy | hes not using 'tar -cvpj 'directory/name'/ | split -d -b 4000m - /name/of/archive.tar.bz2' | 01:07 |

| === Guest34808 is now known as justme | ||
| SolarisBoy | hes breaking the command and creating something thats _not_ a tar archive | 01:07 |
| SolarisBoy | and then using tar to read it | 01:07 |
| SolarisBoy | is the issue | 01:07 |
| nhrfiport | I logged in to recovery mode and can at least login no | 01:08 |
| hwq001 | aSolarisBoy: how can I do next step :( | 01:08 |
| === justme is now known as Guest19843 | ||
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: did you remove the folder you are using in that argument to tar? | 01:08 |
| SolarisBoy | if not as stated, run the command correctly | 01:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gimpy15: it's to rule out a few issues. if the live-cd won't work either, then there may be something *fundamentally* wong. if it DOES work, than it may be a bad install or something | 01:08 |
| SolarisBoy | i provided an example | 01:08 |
| nhrfiport | but its in gnome desktop | 01:08 |
| hwq001 | SolarisBoy: I didn't remove it | 01:08 |
| SolarisBoy | ok | 01:08 |
| SolarisBoy | do it again | 01:08 |
| SolarisBoy | correctly | 01:08 |
| FloodBot1 | SolarisBoy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:08 |

| SolarisBoy | sorry | 01:09 |
| anon_inFLuX | what ubuntu version is it | 01:09 |
| hwq001 | SolarisBoy: I spent 10 hours to compress the folder and spent 10 hours to transfer to new server | 01:09 |
| anon_inFLuX | ??? | 01:09 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: you did it wrong | 01:09 |

| labyrinth | DarwinSurvivor: apt-mirror is working great for the archive mirror, but I also want to mirror the cd isos, and I only want precise pangolin for now | 01:10 |

| ThePendulum | How do I switch accounts using just the keyboard? | 01:11 |
| MirkoKa | ThePendulum: sudo ? | 01:12 |
| hwq001 | SolarisBoy:ok ,I have to do it again. thanks for your help | 01:12 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: correct | 01:12 |
| ThePendulum | MirkoKa: Sudo what? | 01:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ThePendulum: try the different TTY terminals, one of them should be lightdm (CTRL+ALT+F#) | 01:12 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: just review the command properly before you do it.. | 01:12 |
| Ben64 | hwq001: why not use rsync or similar | 01:12 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: maybe test it on a smaller directory first to make sure it works as expected? | 01:12 |
| SolarisBoy | then you wont have a big bust at the end if it doesn't | 01:12 |
| ThePendulum | DarwinSurvivor: Didn't know one of them is LightDM, TIL, thanks! | 01:12 |
| ThePendulum | Strange | 01:13 |
| ThePendulum | The cursor works on any account but mine, and the touchpad is turned on | 01:13 |
| hwq001 | Ben64: my data is 400G,too large | 01:13 |
| hwq001 | Ben64:and all of them are images | 01:13 |
| Ben64 | hwq001: thats not too large for rsync | 01:13 |
| MirkoKa | ThePendulum: are you talking about running programs as another user or to completely login as another user (like the switch user facility)? | 01:13 |
| SolarisBoy | Ben64: bzip has a higher compression rate in general also | 01:14 |
| anon_inFLuX | what is in it??? 400gb of porn?? hahaha | 01:14 |
| SolarisBoy | woops | 01:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ThePendulum: just remember that switching like that does NOT automatically lock the first login | 01:14 |
| Ben64 | can't really compress jpg with bzip | 01:14 |
| labyrinth | DarwinSurvivor: To be honest, we actually have a 2nd 1.5mbps connection I can dedicate toward downloads without disrupting people much. There's a lot of people looking forward to ditching M$ here, so they're happy to sacrifice a bit of speed to have a shared repo | 01:14 |
| SolarisBoy | i meant hwq001 Ben64 sorry | 01:14 |
| SolarisBoy | oh its pics? | 01:14 |
| SolarisBoy | pron? | 01:14 |
| SolarisBoy | jeepers | 01:14 |
| Ben64 | rsync can do compression during transfer too | 01:14 |
| anon_inFLuX | lol | 01:14 |
| anon_inFLuX | 400gb | 01:14 |
| ThePendulum | DarwinSurvivor: I noticed. All I care for now is getting my cursor to work, lol | 01:14 |

| labyrinth | DarwinSurvivor: I'm just a bit confused about doing cd mirror. Here's one of the bad lines from /etc/apt/mirror.list - deb-i386 http://ubuntu.idrepo.or.id/ubuntu-releases precise | 01:15 |
| LinuxMonkey | gimpy15, tasty | 01:16 |
| Ben64 | anyway, rsync will transfer a large amount of data in an efficient manner, hwq001 | 01:16 |
| SolarisBoy | it will | 01:16 |
| SolarisBoy | but he wants to compress it no? | 01:16 |
| SolarisBoy | not transfer it | 01:16 |
| Ben64 | <hwq001> SolarisBoy: I spent 10 hours to compress the folder and spent 10 hours to transfer to new server | 01:16 |
| SolarisBoy | oh | 01:16 |
| SolarisBoy | my bad | 01:16 |
| SolarisBoy | ++rsync | 01:16 |
| hwq001 | Ben64: because they are all images,if I transfer them directly,it will be very slow,implement each images | 01:17 |
| ThePendulum | Is there a way to 'reset' the cursor? | 01:17 |
| Ben64 | hwq001: seriously. rsync. | 01:17 |
| SolarisBoy | hwq001: make sure to use --partial... | 01:17 |
| SolarisBoy | just in case.. | 01:17 |
| Guest19055 | I have an odd question. I am currently running an install of Debian Squeeze. If I wanted to chnage to Ubuntu, would it be possible to just change my sources list? | 01:17 |
| hwq001 | If I use resync it will spend 4 days | 01:17 |
| SolarisBoy | is the transfer going across the internet? | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | Guest19055: NO. | 01:17 |
| SolarisBoy | if its local there is no reason it should take 4 days unless you have like copper connections at home or something | 01:18 |
| hwq001 | SolarisBoy: yes old canada server to new usa server | 01:18 |
| SolarisBoy | oh.. well.. heh | 01:18 |
| Jordan_U | Guest19055: You'd need to re-install. | 01:18 |
| SolarisBoy | compress is best you can do.. i think you can turn up the compression level.. but its a tradeoff...cpu/network | 01:18 |
| labyrinth | DarwinSurvivor: The error I got was "http://ubuntu.idrepo.or.id/ubuntu-releases//precise/Sources.gz could not be opened..." The double slash looks fishy to me | 01:18 |
| Ben64 | should take about 11hrs | 01:18 |
| Ben64 | 400GB / 100mbit | 01:18 |
| SolarisBoy | well | 01:18 |
| SolarisBoy | assuming you ever really got that type of throughput - | 01:19 |
| Ben64 | i do on my servers | 01:19 |
| SolarisBoy | does he? | 01:19 |
| === Guest19055 is now known as econdudeawesome | ||
| hwq001 | Ben64 only 10m for incoming ... | 01:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | labyrinth: you don't have to do cd mirror to sneakernet stuff. You can also set up another machine as an rsync mirror (laptop, netbook + external USB, etc) and the simply rsync between them when you bring it back | 01:19 |
| econdudeawesome | Jordan_U: so completely impossible? | 01:19 |
| MirkoKa | labyrinth: maybe this line will give you a hint how a deb line should look like: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timo-wingender/ppa/ubuntu lucid main" that is "deb URL distro category" | 01:19 |
| Ben64 | then 110 hours | 01:19 |
| SolarisBoy | lol | 01:19 |
| SolarisBoy | thats more than 4 days | 01:19 |
| hwq001 | If I campress and then use lftp, it only spend 10 hours | 01:20 |
| Ben64 | can't compress images though | 01:20 |
| Ben64 | unless bmp or something | 01:20 |
| SolarisBoy | well rsync gets high rates becauase it has to see the files first | 01:20 |
| SolarisBoy | thats all | 01:20 |
| Ben64 | rsync -avzPe ssh | 01:20 |
| SolarisBoy | right on | 01:20 |
| Ben64 | compresses for you | 01:20 |
| hwq001 | Ben64:I just need it be a file not folder ,so that it can be transfered with full speed | 01:20 |
| SolarisBoy | and does it over a tunnel!! | 01:20 |
| hwq001 | for file, lftp is better than scp | 01:21 |
| ChogyDan | resource monitor? anyone know how to get it on precise? | 01:22 |
| Jordan_U | econdudeawesome: Completely unsupported. If you try it it will fail, if you manage to work around all of the problems we *still* won't support it. | 01:22 |
| linuxuz3r | linux rocks man | 01:23 |
| labyrinth | DarwinSurvivor: Sorry, I'm being confusing. The bandwidth is not an issue. Sneakernet wouldn't help because it's still the same bandwidth. I can't just go down to a coffee shop and get good bandwidth because there is no fiber optic here. It's all through satellite. We are perfectly happy (so to speak) with taking a week to download stuff and theres' not really much other option | 01:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | labyrinth: by sneakernet, I meant ferry.... | 01:23 |
| ChogyDan | it looks like gnome-system-monitor is installed. Is there a hotkey for it? | 01:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | labyrinth: the original mirror will take a lot of bandwidth, but it shouldn't take much to *keep* it updated, as long as you don't let it fall a week behind | 01:24 |
| gaelfx | ChogyDan: do you mean system monitor? | 01:24 |
| ChogyDan | gaelfx: any system monitor | 01:25 |
| gaelfx | ChogyDan: not that I'm aware of, but you can add it to the launcher | 01:25 |
| labyrinth | DarwinSurvivor: Right, we already do something like that with WSUS for the M$ machines | 01:25 |
| gaelfx | ChogyDan: or you could make a hotkey combo for it yourself | 01:25 |
| Carth| | Can anyone give me support on how to mount a disk image to my desktop? I'm attempting to install Age of Empires II using PlayOnLinux. | 01:25 |
| hokachu | I can't get Ubuntu to install. It gives errors and only shows half a screen. After managing to install with only half a screen it refuses to boot up. Does anyone know what kind of problem this is? | 01:26 |
| SolarisBoy | Carth|: is it a an iso image? | 01:26 |
| Carth| | I have the disk | 01:27 |
| ZetaRC121 | Hi, I installed sdl-mame and gmameui, gmameui is telling me it can't find the sdl-mame install | 01:27 |
| MirkoKa | Carth|: shouldn't do PoL do that for you? In any case I suggest Acetone. Still for PoL (and wine) you usually need a NoCD crack | 01:27 |
| labyrinth | DarwinSurvivor: We really have to use a mirror to keep bandwidth down. I just didn't want to do a full rsync because we only want to offer Pangolin for 386 and 64 bit as well as source. It's all good for the archive repo, but I want the CD isos, too. Ultimately, I can just download them and throw them on a share, so I'll just keep checking things out. | 01:27 |
| ChogyDan | gaelfx: I would love one that is on permanent display, in the task bar, if you know of that, that would be AMAZING! | 01:27 |
| soreau | Carth|: When you insert the disk, it's not automounted? | 01:27 |
| pmp6nl | Hey all, I keep getting errors when trying to dual monitor: requested position/size for CRTC 148 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1280, 0), size=(800, 600), maximum=(1600, 1600) | 01:27 |
| SolarisBoy | ZetaRC121: i think you have to sometimes point it to the right location | 01:27 |
| caseymcgt | can someone help me resolve some eclipse issues after moving to 12.04 | 01:28 |
| Carth| | MirkoKa: I struggled with getting PoL to do this for me, didn't work the first time so trying a different path. | 01:28 |
| ZetaRC121 | SolarisBoy and where would that be? | 01:28 |
| Ben64 | Carth|: have you tried wine | 01:28 |
| SolarisBoy | ZetaRC121: in gmameui preferences | 01:28 |
| Carth| | Ben64: New to Ubuntu/Linux and still wrapping my mind around it all. Lots to learn. | 01:28 |
| Carth| | Ben64: I have installed wine, yes | 01:28 |
| Carth| | soreau: When I insert the disk I see it in the toolbar, but don't know the next step | 01:29 |
| jbwiv___ | if I "Lock to launcher" an app in 12.04, where does the .desktop file (I assume one is created) get stored? If one isn't created, where can I view what is? | 01:29 |
| gaelfx | ChogyDan: there is no task bar, the top-panel is the closest you get, and as you may have gathered by now is more less just there to waste screen space | 01:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | labyrinth: I'm not sure exactly how to make a "partial" mirror (the link I posted a while ago may), but the ISO's should be fairly simple to host (you could even throw them on ftp or torrent them internally with a whitelist) | 01:29 |
| ChogyDan | gaelfx: :( | 01:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gaelfx: lol | 01:29 |
| soreau | CarlFK: You asked how to mount an image.. if it's auto-mounted (check the output of 'mount') I'm not sure what else you need to do | 01:29 |
| caseymcgt | mount -o loop SOURCE.ISO /MOUNT/POINT | 01:30 |
| gaelfx | seriously, I have a deep, deep hatred for the top-panel, so deep in fact that last night I fell asleep by imagining how I would download the source for unity and edit it so the top-panel is gone | 01:30 |
| labyrinth | DarwinSurvivor: yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think it's better just doing a plain file share that rsyncs to the 'precise' folder of the cd mirror. | 01:31 |
| MirkoKa | Carth|: look into PoL's supported games/apps and install using it. if it's not supported, there is an "Install a program that is not listed" (or similar) link in the lower-right of the PoL window | 01:31 |
| gaelfx | caveat - I'm using ubuntu on a netbook | 01:31 |
| systemd0wn | Question, Are many people having power management, shutdown, and stability issues with 12.04? Or is it just me... | 01:31 |
| Carth| | MirkoKa: I will try that again. I failed the first time I tried to Install using PoL. | 01:31 |
| scott__ | What to do when volume applet disappears in 12.04's systray? | 01:32 |
| gaelfx | in fact, I think I might start looking at the code now | 01:32 |
| PhlowHome | My laptop screen goes blank when I close the lid and reopen, any known fix? | 01:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scott__: log out and back in and see if it returns | 01:33 |
| datruth | anyone running minecraft? | 01:33 |
| systemd0wn | PhlowHome, same here. Haven't seen any fix. | 01:33 |
| scott__ | DarwinSurvivor, already tried. No luck :( | 01:33 |
| gaelfx | imo, the top-panel and the launcher really ought to switch places | 01:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scott__: try a reboot, pulse or alsa may have died on you | 01:33 |
| scott__ | that's what I tried, actually. | 01:34 |
| systemd0wn | PhlowHome, Have you tried messing with power settings? Tell ubuntu not to do anything when you close the lid. This may help. | 01:34 |
| Carth| | When I click install in PoL I get to a location where it asks what version of AOE2 I have - CD version or Digital Download Version. Upon Clicking on 'CD Version' it asks me where my CD-ROM is mounted - options are 'AGE2_X1' or 'Other'' | 01:34 |
| scott__ | I've been searching for a solution, and not much has come up for 12.04 (some for 10.04, but that's not what I need lol) | 01:34 |
| MirkoKa | Carth|: there's of course also the posibility that it doesn't work just so, check http://appdb.winehq.org/ for info about the game | 01:34 |
| Carth| | I select AGE2_X1 and get an error that says 'File Not Found' | 01:34 |
| PhlowHome | systemd0wn, I'll do that until I find a fix | 01:34 |

| pengw | i tried 11.10 before and i dislike it | 01:36 |
| pengw | how about 12.04? | 01:36 |
| systemd0wn | So stability hasn't been a problem for other with 12.04? I get random crashes amongst other problems. | 01:36 |
| PhlowHome | DarwinSurvivor, seems to be a black screen, but I can't be sure | 01:36 |
| gaelfx | pengw: this is why God invented livecds, you can try it out for yourself | 01:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bobmeister: nothing you do (as a user) to gnome-shell will affect gdm. If you typed in your password while changing gnome-shell stuff, something went TERRIBLY wrong. | 01:37 |
| scott__ | DarwinSurvivor, it recognizes the hardware it seems, and when I click on the volume slider, it makes the "popping" sound, but the test does not work. | 01:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | PhlowHome: run a music player, that's the simplest way to tell when the computer is asleep :P | 01:37 |

For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 01:40 |
| L3top | DarwinSurvivor: why sudo ps aux? | 01:41 |
| Carth| | DarwinSurvivor: Thank you | 01:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bobmeister: did you at ANY time during your "customizing" get asked for your password? | 01:41 |
| Gyro54 | hi! | 01:41 |
| systest | bazhang, and that works for 12.4 as well? | 01:41 |
| bobmeister | DarwinSurvivor, I dont think so, why? | 01:41 |
| bazhang | systest, yes | 01:41 |
| MirkoKa | Carth|: as DarwinSurvivor said, but look at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=147 and search for "1) No game CD detected." maybe that helps you | 01:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | systest: simply install gnome-shell from the software center, then log out, click the "gear" next to your name and chose "gnome-shell" then log in again | 01:41 |
| bazhang | systest, you mean 12.04 I assume | 01:42 |
| systest | bazhang, thanks, and yes "04" | 01:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bobmeister: because otherwise gdm shouldn't have been able to have been affected, only root can modify gdm | 01:42 |
| systest | DarwinSurvivor, ty | 01:42 |
| Carth| | MirkoKa: Thank you, this looks promising | 01:42 |
| bobmeister | DarwinSurvivor, i tried to uninstall then reinstall gdm to correct the dpkg errors i got when trying to do any sort of package operation. | 01:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bobmeister: please pastebin the dpkg errors | 01:44 |

| ThePendulum | Flash isn't working on my laptop Ubuntu 12.04 installation, while it appears to be installed. Any ideas? | 01:44 |
| WeissLehrer | When I search for music on my 'Dash Home', it shows music from banshee (which I have removed recently). How do I make it go away? | 01:45 |
| bobmeister | All it said was "dpkg: cannot configure gdm (--configure)" | 01:45 |
| ThePendulum | WeissLehrer: Are you sure it's banshee? I can't find Banshee by searching for 'music', even though it's installed | 01:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bobmeister: please pastebin exactly what you typed as well as exactly what was returned. copy-pasting the terminal session is the best way to do so | 01:46 |
| WeissLehrer | ThePendulum: that on the filter results... | 01:46 |
| ThePendulum | WeissLehrer: How do you know it's from Banshee? | 01:46 |
| Carth| | "open Terminal and navigate to the CD-ROM drive (the directory is called AOE2 and is located in /media/AOE2)" <--- how to I navigate to CD-ROM drive in Terminal? | 01:46 |
| bobmeister | DarwinSurvivor, Can't, per se, as x will not start into any usable enviroment. | 01:47 |
| WeissLehrer | ThePendulum: because there is an option to filter music from app on the right | 01:47 |
| ThePendulum | Carth|: Didn't you just quote the answer? lol | 01:47 |
| PhlowHome | caseymcgt, actually, having a problem with the IDE's intellisense not recognizing c++ std lib, but g++ building fine... | 01:47 |
| Carth| | ThePendulum: Possibly, I'm a newborn Ubuntu user and am very confused :) | 01:47 |
| L3top | Carth|: cd /media/AOE2 | 01:47 |
| abyss42 | i have a remote ip address and a .pcf... i have to use vpn to access it...how do i access it using ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| ChogyDan | bobmeister: can you install pastebinit? | 01:47 |
| L3top | assuming you followed directions to mount it there Carth| | 01:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bobmeister: then re-type it using another computer. we need to see the EXACT command you entered as well as the output. A missing "e" can cause a lot of grief :P | 01:48 |
| ThePendulum | Carth|: What L3ptop said, browse to that location using 'cd' (commonly used to browse to a directory) | 01:48 |
| Carth| | L3top: Thank you. I'm working on figuring out how to mount it. | 01:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | abyss42: what is a pcf/ | 01:49 |
| L3top | Carth|: is it an iso or a disk? | 01:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | abyss42: what is a pcf? | 01:49 |
| Carth| | L3top: disk | 01:49 |
| ThePendulum | Carth|: It should mount automatically... | 01:49 |
| ThePendulum | Carth|: If it's in the media folder, it's probably mounted | 01:49 |

| hrezaei | Hi People! | 01:49 |
| caseymcgt | for eclipse, I removed every java package I could find and then did an 'apt-get install eclipse' | 01:50 |
| abyss42 | DarwinSurvivor, .pcf file...somekind of personal certificate file..i am assuming | 01:50 |
| ThePendulum | Any feedback on Flash? | 01:50 |
| caseymcgt | now when it runs, all the editor screens show a stacktrace | 01:50 |
| caseymcgt | "Could not open the editor: No editor descriptor for id org.eclipse.jdt.ui.CompilationUnitEditor" | 01:50 |
| Carth| | ThePendulum: What exactly is the 'Media Folder' - - I'm looking in my directory and I don't see a folder called Media | 01:50 |
| === chris_ is now known as Guest32911 | ||
| MirkoKa | PCF is a bitmal font format | 01:50 |

| MirkoKa | abyss42: where (in ubuntu) do you see a pcf file that is not a font? | 01:53 |
| Lagorgia924 | hello world!! | 01:53 |
| SolarisBoy | they get used for vpns etc a lot.. | 01:53 |
| abyss42 | MirkoKa , what do you mean? I said, i have a .pcf file...which apparently means profile configuration file...with the help of which one is supposed to connect to a VPN | 01:54 |
| maca | Hello. What is the difference about using a electronic mail program, as Thunderbird, and using directly on a web browser? | 01:54 |
| Lagorgia | @maca a mail program snatches your mail when you have internet | 01:55 |
| SolarisBoy | maca: in usage nothing - but on the backend you may be using different protocols to get your mail | 01:55 |
| GG111 | maca: well, plenty of diffrences, but, if you make sure to use plain text when composing via browser, you'll make your technical frieds and recipeints much happier.. | 01:55 |
| SolarisBoy | lol | 01:55 |
| L3top | hrezaei: I am not sure that question will result in what you want to know. Can you be more specific? | 01:56 |
| MirkoKa | abyss42: I was just wondering because there are quite some .pcf files on my 10.04 and they are all fonts, so I was wondering whether there would be another .pcf file type | 01:56 |
| SolarisBoy | MirkoKa: yes | 01:56 |
| SolarisBoy | they are used for configuration of VPN and such | 01:56 |
| ThePendulum | maca: For you, the only difference is potential convenience. Thunderbird is intigrated in Ubuntu and will pop one up if you recieve an e-mail | 01:56 |
| jc_ | hello, what is the best music player for ubuntu? | 01:56 |
| ThePendulum | jc_: Any, try some out and decide for yourself | 01:57 |
| renode | <3 vlc myself | 01:57 |
| ThePendulum | jc_: My personal favorite is Banshee | 01:57 |
| SolarisBoy | i like banshee fine, in short its opinion based | 01:57 |
| ThePendulum | renode: Amazing for video, but for music... not so much. Especially managing a collection. | 01:57 |
| SolarisBoy | and you have tons of options | 01:57 |
| MirkoKa | SolarisBoy: Ok, thanks | 01:57 |
| scott__ | DarwinSurvivor, I don't suppose you were able to figure anything out by looking at that pastebin related to missing volume indicator? | 01:57 |
| jc_ | other options | 01:57 |
| ponrajuganesh | what is a striking feature of linux that is not found in windows? | 01:57 |
| renode | gaming | 01:57 |
| SolarisBoy | vlc is super cool though - i just that its not the default player and its not as integrated into the unity/panel as banshee | 01:58 |
| renode | Oops | 01:58 |
| SolarisBoy | so - i prefer banshee. | 01:58 |
| renode | wrong way XD | 01:58 |
| SolarisBoy | ponrajuganesh: free updates? | 01:58 |
| scott__ | ponrajuganesh, what is a striking feature of windows that is not found in windows? -Viruses (mostly) | 01:58 |
| GraemeLion | jc_: There are tons of options. The software center has a huge selection of them. | 01:58 |
| GG111 | ponrajuganesh: the 180$ license ? | 01:58 |
| ThePendulum | renode: You confused me, a lot :P | 01:58 |
| SolarisBoy | ponrajuganesh: free new OS every 6 months or so? | 01:58 |
| * L3top uses vlc | 01:58 | |
| jc_ | but the best for libreries | 01:58 |
| renode | hahaha i thought he meant in windows that isnt in linux XD | 01:59 |
| ponrajuganesh | more technically guys? SolarisBoy scott__ GG111 | 01:59 |
| renode | sorry, ill shut up now ;) | 01:59 |
| maca | ok, thanks for response for the mail item | 01:59 |
| jc_ | to manage libraries | 01:59 |
| quixotedon | why there is no 'hibernate' mode in 12.04?? | 01:59 |
| GG111 | ponrajuganesh: you want us to write a whole assay about it ? | 01:59 |
| SolarisBoy | ponrajuganesh: the fact that most things in linux are text based and open source the world is yours? | 01:59 |
| scott__ | quixotedon, because hibernate is generally unreliable I've heard | 01:59 |
| scott__ | in some machines | 01:59 |
| GG111 | SolarisBoy: you're so nice. | 01:59 |
| SolarisBoy | ponrajuganesh: the fact that an ubuntu can even exist? @linux is just a kernel... | 02:00 |
| L3top | It was removed, probably as it is problematic. There is a way to restore it... let me find the link quixotedon | 02:00 |
| scott__ | if you want it back, search for "things to tweak ubuntu 12.04" | 02:00 |
| ThePendulum | ponrajuganesh: The lack of viruses, better (free) support found in channels like these, overall faster on many machines, very customizable, often better looks (Ubuntu 12.04 vs. Windows 7, I prefer the first) | 02:00 |
| SolarisBoy | so the fact that you can build from linux for free and do in short what you like... is a benefit | 02:00 |
| ponrajuganesh | GG111: I just need one feature techincally that will dO | 02:00 |
| foobArrr | quixotedon: you can try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation-in-12-04 | 02:00 |
| SolarisBoy | you _CANT_ do this on windows.. the fact that there is a unified installer method ponrajuganesh.. and not exe's and msi's and etc etc etc | 02:00 |
| quixotedon | scott__: i love using hibernate and that really works fine, you know to know the fact that i use 12.04 on my laptop that i bring along with me anywhere, such function is so helpful to resume my work | 02:00 |
| SolarisBoy | ponrajuganesh: the fact that the system is intelligent enough to understand what dependancies are and handle them gracefully in most cases | 02:01 |
| GG111 | ponrajuganesh: Linux system will "fly" on hardware that Windows system will not move | 02:01 |
| GG111 | good enough ? | 02:01 |
| quixotedon | thanks foobArrr | 02:01 |
| SolarisBoy | ponrajuganesh: linux at least takes a few megabytes of disk spaces | 02:01 |
| quixotedon | foobArrr: thanks a lot | 02:01 |
| SolarisBoy | ponrajuganesh: for a fully functional server | 02:01 |
| scott__ | Speaking of support, I've been unable to find a solution to my problem of a missing volume indicator in the panel. | 02:01 |
| SolarisBoy | ponrajuganesh: dont forget about viruses and stuff | 02:01 |
| quixotedon | i see that 12.04 takes 0.8 gb more than 11.10 | 02:01 |
| Young_ | hi all | 02:01 |
| quixotedon | well, that's worth it so far.. :) | 02:02 |
| ponrajuganesh | thanks a lot SolarisBoy GG111 ThePendulum | 02:02 |

| SolarisBoy | DanaG: is it compiled as a module somehow? if not know you would need to compile a kernel | 02:04 |
| bazhang | zhxk, no it does not | 02:04 |

| zhxk | bazhang, it have a password | 02:04 |

| jeffrash | 12.04 but it was slow in 11.10 | 02:05 |
| f0x | how can i enter recovery mode with normal user root withou starting x in 12.04. can anybody please advice | 02:06 |
| GraemeLion | Okay , was just gonna say, it's light years faster than it was :) If you're knowledgable, I'd suggest install synaptic. | 02:06 |
| quixotedon | seems that 12.04 comes with the internal error message and asking permission to report.. the way windows does??? :-( | 02:06 |
| jeffrash | synaptic is so much faster | 02:06 |
| DanaG | Classy: "Report a problem..." has encountered a problem. | 02:06 |
| GraemeLion | quixotedon: No, the reports here go almost directly to launchpad.net, where they are triaged by developers and handled much quicker. | 02:06 |

| quixotedon | zhxk: have you tried downloading from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop ??? | 02:08 |
| f0x | how can i boot into recovery mode without x to start | 02:08 |
| zhxk | quixotedon, exactly | 02:08 |
| L3top | zhxk you have been told BOTH that there is no password, and to stop asking over and over. There is no answer to your question. The live user has no password. | 02:08 |
| ChogyDan | zhxk: I was able to do it without a password | 02:08 |
| zhxk | quixotedon, it requires a password | 02:08 |
| quixotedon | GraemeLion: excellent things though but kinda annoying, the app seems works fine but you see the message appears.. anyway i do think that this is more to positive parts than negative :) | 02:08 |
| root_coma | zhxk, you might be seeing windows permissions. Maybe take a screenshot | 02:09 |
| ThePendulum | ponrajuganesh: Well, you'd have to be more specific. It's completely different, really. All I can think of, is that it has better power management on laptops... if that's anything like you mean | 02:09 |
| diamonds | where would I look into updating my graphics card driver? | 02:09 |
| zhxk | yes | 02:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | zhxk: you shouldn't need the password since it automatically logs in and you have no-password sudo rights. | 02:09 |
| sary | zhxk: the live-cd require a password ! that's NEWS . | 02:09 |
| diamonds | this is probably a bad idea.... | 02:09 |
| ponrajuganesh | yup ThePendulum | 02:09 |
| ChogyDan | diamonds: do you have a 3d graphics card? which one? | 02:09 |

| churly | You mispelled my name, I'm deeply offended. | 02:16 |

| Salamander | how can I set up a static ip address in ubuntu 12.04 using the command line?? I used to edit /etc/network/interfaces and add something like "iface eth0 static 10.0.0.4" and "up ip route 8.8.8.8" or something like that, but this kind of setup is giving me no "nameserver 8.8.8.8" in /etc/resolv.conf at startup.

| ThePendulum | L3top: Flash seems to be installed, yet flash content won't work in both Firefox and Chromium. Ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop. | 02:19 |

| L3top | A lot of people have been having issues with the flash player not actually finishing... however I believe that the flashplugin-installer will still show installed, I believe, as it's name implies, it is just the installer. If it were me I would sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer | 02:21 |
| diamonds | argh I have to figure out / look up how to reenable my medibuntu repos | 02:21 |
| ThePendulum | Why is that program still recommended? I have had far better experiences with UNetbootin on multiple systems. | 02:21 |
| diamonds | why does the OS upgrader work contrary to explicit user intent? | 02:21 |
| diamonds | clearly I *want* those repos, I manually added them, why would an update defy my intention and turn them off? | 02:22 |
| ChogyDan | hey guys, where can I learn more about virtualization on Ubuntu. I know I can use virtualbox, but that uses a ton of memory. Are there less memory intensive ways to do it, maybe just virtualize a session of x, instead of a whole install? | 02:22 |
| GraemeLion | diamonds: The user intends , generally, a working system after upgrade. Remember, there's no way for the upgrader to know whether or not those repos have upgraded to the new release yet. | 02:22 |
| GraemeLion | diamonds: You can reactivate them by editing the software sources in the Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic. | 02:23 |
| diamonds | GraemeLion: why is it only medibuntu that gets disabled? | 02:23 |
| ThePendulum | ChogyDan: Doesn't Virtualbox use about as much memory as you allow a VM to use? | 02:23 |
| GraemeLion | diamonds: It's not. PPAs gt nailed too. | 02:23 |
| xangua | ThePendulum: because is a third party repository | 02:23 |
| ThePendulum | xangua: What is? | 02:24 |
| bazhang | ThePendulum, medibuntu | 02:24 |
| ChogyDan | ThePendulum: Im not sure, what if I give it too little memory, will it run ok? still, it would be nice if I didn't need to virtualize all the hardware, I just want the user session | 02:24 |
| ThePendulum | bazhang, xangua: Eh, okay, I won't disagree on that... | 02:24 |
| xangua | ThePendulum: wasn't for you sorry | 02:24 |

| L3top | probably have to do another update afterwards... | 02:25 |
| ThePendulum | ChogyDan: It virtualizes all the nessecary hardware for a machine and nothing else, really | 02:25 |
| diamonds | most flavors it might not matter but Ubuntu is the "user friendly" linux | 02:26 |
| GraemeLion | diamonds: It's a tradeoff, right? | 02:26 |
| GraemeLion | diamonds: Mediabuntu behaves. A lot of repos don't. | 02:26 |
| diamonds | GraemeLion: ah I see | 02:26 |
| ThePendulum | ChogyDan: Virtualization requires some 8GB of physical RAM to pull off nicely, whatever program you'll use | 02:26 |

| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: ^^ | 02:28 |
| gaelfx | GraemeLion: I just want to get the source though. If I get source from apt, I have to install dpkg-dev and a slew of other packages that it depends on | 02:29 |
| diamonds | DarwinSurvivor: those will NOT be disabled on upgrade? | 02:29 |

| ChogyDan | diamonds: they will always be disabled, any ppa | 02:30 |
| GraemeLion | gaelfx: But.. here: https://code.launchpad.net/unity | 02:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: those are simply non-by-default repos, medibuntu is 3rd party, thus it gets disabled at upgrade time to reduce upgrade errors | 02:30 |
| imaginal | sary: Thanks! | 02:30 |
| GraemeLion | gaelfx: requires some knowledge of bzr | 02:30 |
| diamonds | OK | 02:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ChogyDan: the community repo is not a PPA | 02:30 |
| diamonds | I wish there were an after-upgrade "here's what got disabled, check to reenable" option | 02:30 |

| dr_willis | diamonds: the webupd8 blog site mentioned some 'reneable ppa's' option in their things to tweak after 12.04 install artical | 02:31 |

| dr_willis | khmerog: just install the unity-2d package i belive | 02:45 |

| picori | How do I install graphicsmagick on my ubuntu server? | 02:49 |
| gaelfx | trism: really? I never knew that | 02:49 |
| napalm54 | quixotedon: You should download the IcedTea Java Plugin from the Ubuntu Software Center | 02:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AVP: we have gotten a LOT of java questions lately, so knowing what cause *your* problem will help others in the future :) | 02:49 |
| quixotedon | jrib: thanks for the reply :) | 02:49 |
| napalm54 | quixotedon: I believe it enables Java Applets to work. | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | picori: you mean imagemagick ? | 02:49 |
| Draton | Hey guys, I just installed ubuntu but I'm not seeing a GRUB menu (side-by-side with Win 7). I used boot-repair, but need more help, anyone know a bit about it? | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | !info graphicmagick | 02:49 |
| ubottu | Package graphicmagick does not exist in precise | 02:49 |
| AVP | <DarwinSurvivor> just went in the permission and change the owner to admit | 02:49 |
| jrib | dr_willis: i thought the same thing, but graphicsmagick *is* in the repositories | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | !info graphicsmagick | 02:49 |
| picori | dr_willis: I mean this http://www.graphicsmagick.org | 02:49 |

| gaelfx | trism: do you mean there's no significant difference? or just that the differences are superficial? | 02:49 |
| napalm54 | Draton: Sounds like you need to update Grub | 02:50 |
| picori | I need it for this https://github.com/aheckmann/gm | 02:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AVP: oh, sorry, wrong person :P | 02:50 |
| dr_willis | its in the repos.. apt-get it ;) | 02:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AVP: good to know though | 02:50 |
| khmerog | "AWN was always a favourite of mine under Gnome - however avoid this one for Lubuntu because Synaptic tries to install most of the Gnome desktop when installing AWN." | 02:50 |
| Fyodorovna | Draton, if you can boot ubuntu run sudo update-grub if you have not yet | 02:50 |
| ymasory | hi, i can't disable the hide-all-windows shortcut. ubuntu 12.04, using gnome. I have the Windows->Meta mapping enabled, Windows+D causing all the windows to go away is driving me crazy because i use that as an emacs/terminal binding | 02:50 |
| dr_willis | i got gnome desktop installed anywway ;) | 02:50 |
| quixotedon | napalm54: ah, that one is missing though i installed icedtea java web start | 02:50 |
| trism | gaelfx: no I mean, lubuntu uses openbox as a window manager | 02:50 |
| ymasory | i've already disabled it in gconf-editor and using the settings gui | 02:51 |
| khmerog | /join #lubuntu | 02:51 |
| AVP | <DarwinSurvivor> yep | 02:51 |
| Draton | I'm on a live CD now fyodorovna, can't boot into the one on the drive | 02:51 |
| ymasory | in fact none of my key binding changes seem to do anything | 02:51 |
| quixotedon | how do we log in as a root user in terminal? (sorry, so newbie question :) ) | 02:51 |
| napalm54 | quixotedon: Not sure what the web start is completely. | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | quixotedon: use sudo as needed | 02:51 |
| === ubuntu is now known as myhero | ||

| gaelfx | trism: so if I want to install openbox and try it out instead of Unity/Gnome, might it be easier for me to just install lubuntu-desktop? | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | 02:51 |
| 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 | 02:51 |
| trism | gaelfx: well, lubuntu-desktop will install lots of other stuff too, openbox is just part of it | 02:52 |
| Fyodorovna | Draton, download this script extract it to your desktop and run this command and pastebin the results text http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript | 02:52 |
| quixotedon | napalm54: and i have the web start installed without knowing how to use it .. :-)) | 02:52 |
| gaelfx | trism: ok, thanks for the info | 02:52 |
| Draton | Fyodorovna: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959011/ Already anticipated :D | 02:52 |
| napalm54 | quixotedon: What about the IcedTea Java Plugin? | 02:52 |
| myhero | when doing su it asks for password....its live session with no username and password.....terminal is ubuntu@ubuntu...whats the default password ? | 02:53 |
| napalm54 | quixotedon: In all honesty I am not sure what the webstart is used for. | 02:53 |
| Draton | Fyodorovna, boot-repair was saying I have a dynamic disk (which I do) but it's not my boot drive | 02:53 |
| === Young is now known as YoungChen | ||
| dr_willis | myhero: who are you su-ing to? the usernme is ubuntu. i think the password is blank | 02:53 |
| napalm54 | quixotedon: But the Icedtea Java Plugin states it is a browser plugin to execute Java applets, so I am guessing that is the best bet for you. | 02:53 |

| KBentley57 | hey guys. I've got a server running 11.10, and I want to upgrade it to 12.04. When I run "sudo do-release-upgrade" it can't seem to see 12.04. Any thoughts? | 02:54 |
| dr_willis | during an install of 12.04 the othr day i noticed my username/hosname on the live-usb was 'test@test' anyone else notice this? was i somehow using an older iso:, or justg a quirk in the cd? | 02:55 |
| gaelfx | napalm54: ubottu can experience neither heat nor cold, since it is a bot | 02:55 |
| myhero | i was installing Huawei Data Card EC122 driver...it was given in its manual to su first..!!! | 02:55 |
| napalm54 | gaelfx: Haha, nice. | 02:55 |
| J2 | What do i need to do to get my computer to see my other monitor? I have the proprietary drivers installed, but it won't see my ohter monitor, and labels the one it does as a Laptop. This is a desktop. | 02:55 |
| dr_willis | myhero: the manual is not correct for ubuntu if yoiu wantg a root shell use sudo -i | 02:55 |
| gaelfx | napalm54: I try :D | 02:55 |
| myhero | ok | 02:56 |
| napalm54 | gaelfx: But does ubottu follow the Three Laws of Robotics? | 02:56 |
| Fyodorovna | Draton, your sdb is dynamic the ubuntu s on sda you need grub in its bootloader, and first in boot. If the sda2 is the windows instal to boot it looks like it should show if you get the mbr correct. | 02:56 |

| bazhang | Quantum_Ion, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat NOT Here | 02:58 |
| J2 | cleric_preston, you'd have to be able to wipe the palm pre, and mount it at boot, which i'm not sure is possible? | 02:58 |

| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: as a brainstorm moderator I can tell you your idea won't get approved since we already told you the recommended method of enabling DVD support is NOT by using medibuntu | 03:00 |
| Young | it is fun thought i use irc just several days.... | 03:01 |
| naj42181 | napalm54: did a power cycle and it hasn't changed anything | 03:01 |
| * DarwinSurvivor | 03:01 | |
| diamonds | DarwinSurvivor: does that do mp3s as well? | 03:01 |
| J2 | cleric_preston, DVD not possible? | 03:01 |
| napalm54 | So why does Ubuntu use empathy instead of pidgin by default? | 03:01 |
| diamonds | and most other proprietary media? | 03:01 |
| diamonds | or do I have to do them all piecemeal? | 03:01 |
| J2 | napalm54, same reason they use Rhythmbox | 03:01 |
| cleric_preston | J2: No, it doesn't read burned DVDs, btw don't ever buy a vaio laptop. lol | 03:01 |
| J2 | Distributor preference | 03:01 |
| J2 | lo cleric_preston | 03:01 |
| gaelfx | napalm54: I believe it's because of voice/video support, that and Empathy is part of the gnome apps | 03:01 |
| myhero | Huawei Data Card driver is given for fedora, mandriva and opensuse...can it be installed on ubuntu ? | 03:01 |
| Young | Quantum_Ion: thanks anyway....^^ | 03:01 |
| diamonds | anyway why shouldn't my idea be approved?? My suggestion is just "make this process less painless" | 03:02 |
| naj42181 | anyone have advice for getting my wireless adapter to not kick off the internet every 30 seconds? | 03:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: You can watch DVD's, play MP3's and do just about *anything* without ever touching medibuntu. I say this as someone who DOES all those things and has *never* used medibuntu | 03:02 |
| J2 | I'm going to repeat my question, as i believe it got buried. | 03:02 |
| diamonds | DarwinSurvivor: what is your point? | 03:02 |
| rizqy | hyyyyyy | 03:02 |
| J2 | What do i need to do to get my computer to see my other monitor? I have the proprietary drivers installed, but it won't see my ohter monitor, and labels the one it does as a Laptop. This is a desktop. | 03:02 |
| napalm54 | naj42181: Sorry the power cycle did not work | 03:02 |
| sary | KBentley57: Might wanna check it .. perhaps you're missing on something . | 03:02 |
| diamonds | as a novice user I was directed to medibuntu, it worked | 03:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 03:02 |
| cleric_preston | J2: I saw on a forum it said that it was possible so tell me some other software for burning ISO files on USBs. | 03:02 |
| J2 | naj42181, Does that happen on any other OS? | 03:02 |
| naj42181 | i'm dual booting on this machine and have never had issues before ubuntu | 03:02 |
| dr_willis | myhero: it comes as source? .deb? or how. there may be ppas out for the drivers allready | 03:02 |
| roasted | Question - I'm trying to shut down via terminal without needing the root password. I found a few ways to do this, but nothing works. I tried chmod u+s /sbin/shutdown as well as editing the /etc/sudoers file for NOPASSWD /sbin/shutdown -h now. Any other ideas? | 03:03 |
| GraemeLion | diamonds: And it works well, but there are alternatives. :D | 03:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: my point is you idea is complaining about somthing not working when the method you are doing is in no way recommended in the first place | 03:03 |
| erujolc | where do i configure /var/run | 03:03 |
| gaelfx | naj42181: what type of wireless card do you have? | 03:03 |
| J2 | cleric_preston, i don't know. I always use unetbootin | 03:03 |
| erujolc | as settings dont surivve a reboot | 03:03 |
| diamonds | DarwinSurvivor: this is ridiculous... the UX is currently "very bad" vis-a-vis proprietary codecs | 03:03 |
| diamonds | I'm suggesting addressing this and my suggestion won't even be approved for consideration? | 03:03 |
| naj42181 | gaelfx: honestly i couldn't tell you, it's an integrated card on an asus laptop | 03:03 |
| myhero | dr_willis: its a usb broadband data card model huawei EC122.....its driver are given inside it....i searched huawei site but no help..!!! | 03:04 |
| gaelfx | naj42181: do lspci | grep wireless | 03:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: if you follow the recommended methods of enabling restricted codesc (which I've posted a URL for twice), they will NOT be EVER affected by an upgrade | 03:04 |
| diamonds | DarwinSurvivor: didn't you direct me to brainstorm? | 03:04 |
| gaelfx | naj42181: in terminal that is | 03:04 |
| diamonds | DarwinSurvivor: OK, I hear you. I got the advice from a couple linux savvy friends, apparently not that savvy | 03:04 |
| dr_willis | myhero: 'given inside it' means very little to me. Id check the forums and the askubuntu.com site to see if others have set it up | 03:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: yes, but I didn't know you were going to be putting up an idea about medibuntu (which in my opinion is an ugly hack) | 03:04 |
| GraemeLion | diamonds: That was me, I'm afraid. I still think there is value in allowing users to re-enable disabled PPAs | 03:05 |
| diamonds | DarwinSurvivor: any 3rd party ppas | 03:05 |
| diamonds | GraemeLion: I'll find out soon enough :) | 03:05 |
| dr_willis | with each release - medibuntu gets less and less needed. ;) which is a good thing. | 03:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | diamonds: if your idea is about PPA's in general, then there's no issue, but stuff about codecs really doesn't belong in the rational. | 03:06 |
| diamonds | ok | 03:06 |
| GraemeLion | diamonds: So make it more general :D | 03:06 |
| diamonds | well the install instructions don't address 12.x | 03:06 |

| shadykhan | any way to install xfce without xubuntu? | 03:16 |
| xangua | !minimal | shadykhan | 03:17 |
| ubottu | shadykhan: 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 | 03:17 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | naj42181: its called additional drivers, but if that doesn't work, try the link gaelfx posted | 03:17 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | naj42181: actually its called jockey-gtk if you wanna run it from a terminal | 03:17 |

| === irdxafk is now known as irdx | ||
| ClientAlive | continuing to read that man page, I also see what you were saying. Just bc I may have exec awesome in .xinitrc doesn't mean startx is going to get executed after I log in.

| DarwinSurvivor | ClientAlive: /etc/X11/xinit is the system default. ~/.xinitrc is the user-specific override. | 03:47 |

| gdeeble | but I'm not sure about background runnign | 03:47 |
| ClientAlive | ahh... I see. So it sounds like where I choose to locate that file will depend on how I want to use it. If I use the sytem default then it will run independent of all/ any users. If I create it in a/an home directory it will only apply to that user. | 03:47 |

| motherbrain | to install google earth | 03:52 |
| ClientAlive | DarwinSurvivor: That seems like a good thing. | 03:52 |
| escott | gaelfx, so there are a couple different ways to get things running in the background. one is the shells job control "program &" or if it is already running "ctrl-z" then "bg". sometimes when you logout of that shell the process will terminate because its parent terminates in which case you can "disown" the process with the disown command. some programs will "disown" their parents and so disown has no effect | 03:53 |
| newb__ | But, now it gets stuck at some "scsi Lite on DVD RW ..." while booting | 03:53 |

| gaelfx | escott: thanks :D | 03:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | zivester: pretty much. most DE's haven't had a major facelift in a long time. gnome, kde and unity are the only real "facelifted" ones out there (except maybe enlightenment if they ever finished it) | 03:53 |

| nydel | Pritam: i'm. firewire 410. | 03:53 |

| escott | gaelfx, honestly ive never been that clear on what the difference is between disown/nuhup, and its gets confusing in a gui because many gui apps when started from a x11 terminal will separate themselves from the terminals bash session (which is smart you dont want to start some gui program in a terminal, close the terminal and lose your gui program), but it makes things confusing and hard to figure out what does what | 03:57 |

Using the iPhone app for Skype is limited, and can only see my own video, and not the caller's, plus if I want to look at the camera, I am unable to look at the screen. I have iWebcamera installed on my iPhone. | 04:06 |
| Areckx | (sorry for repeat, was on wrong nickname) | 04:06 |
| escott | newb__, can you type in the last 5 lines you see when it hangs | 04:07 |
| L3top | Areckx: This isn't really an ubuntu issue. If someone HAPPENS to be using that sort of setup they MAY be able to help... but this seems to be more an issue with the applications you are using. | 04:08 |
| Areckx | I should ask in an iPhone channel | 04:09 |
| L3top | probably skype frankly | 04:09 |
| tohuw | My scroll wheel is backwards (like OS X)... how can I fix this? X_X | 04:09 |
| escott | tohuw, if its not in the mouse preferences you can probably flip the axis with the xinput command line utilities | 04:10 |
| tohuw | escott: it isn't. I'll check man for xinput, thanks. | 04:10 |
| ClientAlive | well wait a min DarwinSurvivor: If I want my wm to start when I log in as <user>, and I set the system up to run in tin tty1, then I have to be sure that it's tty1 that I enter by default when I log in as <user>, right?

| ClientAlive | escott: Don't have any way to answer that. I'm looking at what a dm is for the first time right now. Two things I do know for sure though (dm or not) - (1) it's probably good for me to learn more about the nuts and bolts of my system, and (2) I want to run very light with this system - which in turn facilitates (1) | 04:18 |

| anonymouspenguin | I had been running 12.04 wubi install on my m17x. compiz worked well, but when I removed the wubi install and did a regular install beside win 7 compiz would no long work. I think the nvidia driver wasnt working | 04:19 |
| KBentley57 | anonymouspenguin, did you use the nVidia binary driver? | 04:19 |
| tohuw | pmp6nl: You need to understand what the permissions do before you go tossing them out willy-nilly. Read man chmod and info coreutils 'chmod invocation' | 04:20 |
| newb__ | escott: It gets stuck somewhere around 2.7 secs | 04:20 |
| anonymouspenguin | not sure which one it was. I ran some command line i found and it said I had the current one | 04:20 |
| escott | newb__, that definitely sounds like an enumeration issue. im not sure how you debug this, short of trying different kernel versions and builds | 04:22 |
| tohuw | anonymouspenguin: Check jockey ("Additional Drivers") and seey what it offers you. | 04:23 |
| newb__ | escott: Hmm, I am actually updating to 12.04 right now... hope it works... | 04:23 |
| pmp6nl | tohuw, I understand them from a shared hosting perspective, I suppose I will read up more. | 04:23 |

| tohuw | pmp6nl: It may be helpful to you to know (if you do not yet) the user and group apache use. This is specified in your apache configuration. The default in Ubuntu is nobody:www-data | 04:30 |
| Pritam | thanks @nydel | 04:30 |
| pmp6nl | tohuw, ok, thank you | 04:31 |
| tohuw | anonymouspenguin: because Wubi uses a virtual video driver. Think of it more like VMWare/Virtualbox and less like a standalone OS. | 04:31 |

| theG33k | I need help | 04:33 |
| theG33k | I've been running Ubuntu 11.10. I tried to upgrade to 12.04 yesterday - from the update manager. After all the packages were downloaded, the package installation started, but at 50%, the screen abruptly went black. The system shut down automatically. Now, I couldn't boot. Please help! | 04:36 |
| anonymouspenguin | im on a different computer, I went to boot back into windows on the system with a problem and could no longer boot windows. so I restored the mbr, and just left my partitions as is and did another wubi install while I figure it out. | 04:37 |
| theG33k | My ubuntu installation is stuck. And i cannot boot my pendrive. | 04:38 |
| VirtualBlackness | I need to know the card details anonymouspenguin. | 04:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ClientAlive: sorry, was putting something away. TTY1 is the default terminal you will be dropped into if X is not launched at boot time. | 04:38 |
| VirtualBlackness | why can't you boot to the pendrive theG33k | 04:38 |
| anonymouspenguin | the output from the wubi install shows the onboard intel controller and the nvidia controller | 04:38 |

| theG33k | i don't know. I've loaded the ISO for 12.04 in it and made the pendrive bootable. I thought I might overwrite the 11.10 installation. But, during boot, after selecting the Pendrive as boot device, it still opens GRUB. No boot from pendrive! | 04:40 |
| VirtualBlackness | so this is a laptop with a hybrid graphics? Or you have an onboard and a card in a desktop anonymouspenguin | 04:40 |
| anonymouspenguin | it has onboard intel and a Nvidia. its an alienware M17x | 04:41 |
| === directive is now known as roof | ||
| anonymouspenguin | I can give you the intel results also | 04:41 |
| zenmaster | Do we have any virtual box guru's in here tonight? :D | 04:41 |
| n00by | theG33k, how did you write the iso to the pendrive? | 04:42 |
| VirtualBlackness | Ok... well... it is going to boot to intel most likely. To switch to the nvidia you are going to need bumblebee or something similar... i think bumblebee handles the nvidia stuff best | 04:42 |
| VirtualBlackness | anonymouspenguin: this would be why you showed no nvidia install candidate | 04:43 |
| theG33k | n00by pendrive linux's Universal USB | 04:43 |
| theG33k | Please anyone help. I really need to get it done fast. I have a project to complete :( | 04:44 |
| VirtualBlackness | anonymouspenguin: that gpu chipset is pretty spankin new btw. | 04:44 |
| n00by | theG33k, are you sure it has a boot sector your bios recognised? | 04:44 |
| === roof is now known as root0 | ||
| theG33k | Yeah. . i mean i've done it before. | 04:44 |
| zenmaster | If you use Universal USB for Ubuntu Linux to make a Bootable USB make sure you select the correct distrobution. | 04:44 |
| === root0 is now known as root^ | ||
| theG33k | zenmaster yes. . the version is correct | 04:45 |
| dr_willis | you could try some of the other tools at the penddrivelinux site theG33k , or try imageing the iso straight to the usb via dd or cat or a windows image tool | 04:45 |
| VirtualBlackness | then do it again. Nothing about a hosed hd install will affect that. | 04:45 |
| shadykhan | i switched to xfce is there an app where i can just hit super and have a application search like program? | 04:45 |
| zenmaster | theG33k :Also make sure that the machine is set to boot off of usb. | 04:45 |
| theG33k | Ok i'll try that | 04:45 |
| dr_willis | shadykhan: perhaps gnome-do, but then its alt-space or super-space i think | 04:46 |
| theG33k | one more ques. | 04:46 |
| n00by | theG33k, just asking because it should boot from your usb drive no matter whats on your hdd | 04:46 |
| === root^ is now known as rootNICK | ||
| === rootNICK is now known as root2 | ||
| anonymouspenguin | thats right, I had some warrenty work recently and got an upgraded card. I thought a one time I showed a nvidia driver for the previous card | 04:46 |
| theG33k | I plan to overwrite the 11.10 with 12.04. Will my files remain intact if I choose the upgrade to 12.04 option during the installation? I'm not sure | 04:47 |
| VirtualBlackness | anonymouspenguin: alienware is weird... perhaps you can disable the intel in the bios, but most of the new hybrid graphics that is not possible as the nvidia/ati will work through the intel. | 04:47 |
| ulises | no puedo ver videos online con mozilla en xubuntu, alguien que me ayude | 04:47 |

| anonymouspenguin | thanks for the help. I can live with the wubi install till I get something figured out. just liked a regular install better. | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | young regiesstered nicks only perhaps.. | 04:49 |
| n00by | theG33k, if you managed to boot your usb stick you can chroot and do something similar to this (i reinstalled grub in sda for sda1 install) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev ; sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys ; sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc ; sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash ; grub-install --force /dev/sda ; exit ; reboot | 04:50 |

| theG33k | VirtualBlackness I'm kinda new to linux. Let's say i've booted to a live env. What do i do for recovery? Can i recover my 11.10 installation? | 04:50 |

| young | dr_willis: "!register | young", what do you mean? | 04:51 |
| n00by | theG33k, oops i read you want to do something different, your grub is working already... Dont know if /home will survive an upgrade | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | young read what the bot said. regiester your nick. many channels only allow regiestered nicks. | 04:52 |
| L3top | theG33k: you will want to probably continue the upgrade instead... once you get alive on usb, you will want to mount the drive and chroot into it, and apt-get -f dist-upgrade I believe. | 04:52 |
| ClientAlive | I just watched this youtube vid: "Booting Without A Display Manager Arch Linux" At the end of it the guy says when you reboot you'll go straight into x. So no login? No need to enter any login credentials? If that's the case then anyone with physical access to the machine can power it up and go straight for the heart of the system. Security goes straight out the window then, right? | 04:52 |
| Random832 | ClientAlive: so don't store anything important on it, if people are going to have physical access | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | ClientAlive: the user can only do 'user' level stuff.. so not really | 04:52 |
| Random832 | init=/bin/sh | 04:53 |
| young | dr_willis: and the ubuntu channel is an execption, right? thanks anyway:) | 04:53 |
| L3top | I assume that you could only do user... what dr_willis said | 04:53 |
| n00by | theG33k, ah i remember if you dont reformat your hdd in the installer and just mount the old /home in the advanced options of the hdd config it should preserve those files | 04:53 |
| dr_willis | ClientAlive: physical access to a box implies very limited security anyway. ;) | 04:53 |
| anonymouspenguin | I found the bumblebee project, thanks L3top | 04:53 |
| ClientAlive | hmm. I wonder if that type of setup is the best idea. I like security - yes I do... | 04:53 |
| dr_willis | ClientAlive: totally depends on the details.. | 04:53 |
| === rootNICK is now known as root` | ||
| Random832 | ClientAlive: init=/bin/sh | 04:54 |
| L3top | ClientAlive: I don't see any difference between that and the login automatically function for ubuntu | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | for me and my wife.. her auto loggining in would be fine... | 04:54 |
| ClientAlive | dr_willis: yeah, true. But I wouldn't want anyone to just power on the machine and do whatever they feel like. | 04:54 |
| theG33k | n00by thanks a lot. That would work, i guess. And if i couldn't get the USB working, I could boot from a CD burnt with 12.04 | 04:54 |
| Shoozza | escott libgtk2.0-dev is installed but I don't have libgdk_pixbug-2.0-0 or libgdk_pixbug-2.0-dev they are just missing | 04:54 |
| ClientAlive | I would never, ever use the auto login feature (that's just me tho) | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | ClientAlive: they ould mess with the logged in users files.. thats it, normally. | 04:55 |
| n00by | theG33k, just make sure it doesnt format when you configure the hdd config | 04:55 |
| theG33k | Yeah sure :) | 04:55 |
| anonymouspenguin | gotta run, thanks for all the help | 04:55 |
| ClientAlive | yeah, that's deff a deal breaker then. I need to find a better way. Thx for pointing out the details to me btw. | 04:55 |
| L3top | wait... what are you telling him to do n00by? | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | ClientAlive: what are you trying to acomplish exactly? | 04:56 |
| young | test | 04:56 |
| n00by | theG33k, i did it once like that, but root and home were two different partitions (but i guess you could just use the old fs you formated before you installed your 11.10 ) | 04:56 |
| n00by | L3top, to reinstall and reuse the old fs (at least for /home) with the graphical installer | 04:57 |
| ClientAlive | oh... Well it's my personal box in my home. Prolly not much chance of anyone messing w/ it but I don't want there to be no login, that's for sure. It's ubuntu server 12.04 and is a base/ minimal system - a host for a virtualization platform. | 04:57 |
| L3top | backup the home folder from live cd first is my advice theG33k. | 04:57 |
| shadykhan | i installed xfce and now its telling me to enable composting when its already enabled in compiz | 04:58 |
| root` | echo | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | ClientAlive: i still dont see why you are even looking at auto login stuff., | 04:58 |
| n00by | L3top, theG33k yes make a backup of /home for security reasons thats a good advice | 04:58 |
| L3top | then you can attempt to continue the upgrade if you want to go forward, or you can install your current version again without worries. | 04:58 |
| ClientAlive | just need to run light, be secure and reliable for running kvm. SELinux is in on the list if that says anything. | 04:58 |
| ClientAlive | I'm not | 04:58 |

| ClientAlive | I'm looking at startx so my wm will run when I boot | 04:59 |
| theG33k | I already have a backup of home in my external HDD | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | ClientAlive: then it will be auto logging in, or you use a login manager... | 04:59 |
| theG33k | But still, is there some way to fix the old installation? | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | a server normally dosent need X :) depends on what its doing i guess | 05:00 |

| ome | Hey where can I get the Java browser plugin ? | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | !java | ome | 05:14 |
| ubottu | ome: 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. | 05:14 |
| n00by | L3top, if he comes back he could try to do sth similar to : mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev ; sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys ; sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc ; sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash ; apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get -f dist-upgrade ; exit ; reboot | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | ome: webupd8 blog site also had a quick guide/ppa info for installing the letest oracle jva | 05:15 |

| L3top | !nounity | mi3 | 06:30 |
| ubottu | mi3: 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 | 06:30 |

| Striking7 | Hey guys, I'm trying to get a game working in wine. I've checked for a #wine and a ##wine channel | 06:36 |
| napalm54 | What game? | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | its #wine-hq | 06:36 |
| Striking7 | Where do I go for a little wine love without getting off topic in this channel? | 06:36 |
| Striking7 | napalm54: Diablo2 | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | !wine | 06:36 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 06:36 |
| Striking7 | Thanks dr_willis | 06:36 |
| napalm54 | Striking7: Good game, but I havent tried it in wine | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | and the wineapp database should be stop #1 | 06:36 |
| Striking7 | Good call dr_willis. Thanks for being willing to help napalm54 :) | 06:37 |
| Striking7 | The game claims I don't have the CD in the drive. | 06:37 |
| Striking7 | I have all 3 .iso files mounted and wineconfig'd | 06:37 |
| Striking7 | Odd. | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | Striking7: with many older games with cd protection - ive had to use no-cd cracks.. sadly. | 06:38 |
| Striking7 | And no, it's not pirated. | 06:38 |
| Striking7 | Sad. | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | mointing the iso - is not the same as oking he copy protection | 06:38 |
| KM0201 | !screenshot | 06:38 |

| NoobTux | how can i make a backup on my current conky config? | 06:38 |
| Striking7 | dr_willis: exactly. Thus my problem. | 06:39 |
| Striking7 | That's why I'm looking for help :) | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | NoobTux: normally its .conkyrc file.. but it could be anything.. depending on your setup | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | Striking7: if you dont want the real cd in the drive.. gotta use a no-cd crack i imagine | 06:39 |
| KM0201 | OerHeks: this is the one thing i can't figur eout about Unity.. it doesn't do it all the time, but sometimes when i go to resize a window, the window starts way above the mouse pointer/border of the window... http://imagebin.org/210441 | 06:39 |
| Mayazcherquoi | So, I close my laptop lid and my second monitor disconnects. Fairs fair. Then when I go to open my lid, the second monitor stays disconnected, and no matter how many times I unplug and replug the cable in, cease power to the monitor, Ubuntu still won't recognise it! Why?! | 06:40 |
| Striking7 | Hah, this is the first time I've had more problems getting a game running in Linux than in Windows. | 06:40 |
| Striking7 | That's a good feeling, right? | 06:40 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Striking7: More problems in getting games to work on Windows? lol. | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | Striking7: ive had to use no-cd crcks in windows for legit games... to get them to even run at times.. sadly | 06:40 |
| jameslord | hi all | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | now 90% of all games i get are from steam, or indie bundles | 06:41 |
| jameslord | which source will apt prefer? local iso source, or remote source? | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | jameslord: local first, then remote | 06:41 |
| Striking7 | dr_willis: most of the time after I've bought a game I still end up running a "pirated" version just because it's easier than the normal version | 06:41 |
| === aatish is now known as darksifer | ||
| dr_willis | the order in sources.list may be an issue..but i dont think so | 06:42 |

| MACscr | im losing network access to my ubuntu 12.04 server every 30 minutes for about 30 seconds at a time. This system is on my lan and on a wired connection. Any suggestions on how i can troubleshoot the issue? | 06:44 |
| shadykhan | how can i change my default browser? | 06:44 |
| jameslord | dr_willis seems it's not true, at first my iso source is in the upmost line, but it is comments, when i use apt install, and find the package is downloaded from http://, so i interrupt this apt installation, then i uncommnet that iso source , then continue will package installation, but it seems the system is still downloading that package from internet, not from local iso:( | 06:45 |
| jameslord | what's wrong? | 06:45 |
| Mayazcherquoi | shadykhan: Commonly, there is an option to set your default browser when opening your desired browser. | 06:45 |
| Striking7 | dr_willis: Diablo2 is old enough and popular enough I'm sure it's not hard to get running. | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | jameslord: iso could be out of date. i never use iso | 06:45 |
| shadykhan | Mayazcherquoi, yeah i wasnt getting it but i got it now :) | 06:45 |
| Striking7 | it'll just take some research | 06:45 |
| x_XP | Hi All, If I upgrade my HDD from Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04ver using live CD will my data remind unchanged ? thanks | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | i always gave up on diablo2 soon after getting to the desert. ;) | 06:46 |
| KM0201 | shadykhan: you can also sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser and select the # of the browser you want as default. | 06:46 |
| darksifer | hi everyone. am running ubuntu 12.04 with nvidia proprietary driver. i have 2 monitors(1 is 1440x900 n the other is 1920x1080). i have a problem with virtualbox. whenever i switch to fullscreen mode, the virtualbox full screen goes to the smaller screen(even if primary is not set). i want the fullscreen to be displayed only on the 1920x1080 one. can someone help me. thank you in advance | 06:46 |
| blendedbychris | anyone know how to "sniff" for multicast packets? trying to figure out if corosync is working | 06:46 |
| jameslord | dr_willis dude, it is not out of date, it have the same version of that package rather than http source:( | 06:46 |
| jameslord | dr_willis i wonder it will download package from iso, not http:// source, but the fact is just the reverse:( | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | jameslord: if you say so,, i rarely if evver use the iso/d as a soure.. | 06:47 |
| szal | x_XP: I don't think you can upgrade 11.04 directly to 12.04 via one of the CD media | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | darksifer: you do have twinview enabled? | 06:47 |
| szal | x_XP: except if you reinstall, and whether that'll leave your personal data untouched is a question of your partition layout | 06:48 |
| darksifer | yes | 06:48 |

| darksifer | dr_willis, yes i have enable it. i was able to do that yesterday but not today after reinstalling the OS. even though after selecting twinview | 06:49 |

| Dacicus2 | GNOME 2 was better than Unity in every way. | 07:03 |
| akshay | KM0201 : is it ok if i use a live cd of ubuntu 12.04 to increase the size of root? | 07:03 |
| alexandru_ | my unity segfaults when i am trying to enable something in ccsm | 07:04 |

| alexandru_ | i | 07:04 |
| Dacicus2 | Hi, DaZ. | 07:04 |
| akshay | KM0201: will my root drive be formatted? | 07:04 |
| vyrgozunqk | akshay, should be no problems | 07:04 |
| vyrgozunqk | it depends | 07:04 |
| alexandru_ | have run unity from the terminal to debug the problem | 07:04 |
| KM0201 | akshay: again, you can try, but depending on your partition lay out, this may be quite an undertaking (not to mention, it could take quite some time)... | 07:04 |
| vyrgozunqk | if you wish to format it | 07:04 |
| vyrgozunqk | : )) | 07:04 |

| Dacicus2 | Hi, mi3. | 07:06 |
| KM0201 | akshay: like i said, this could take a lot of time (the actual resizing).. you may find it quicker to back up everything, and do a clean install, and resize a blank partition, as opposed to a full one (which will take much less time) | 07:06 |

| Max^ | :D | 07:19 |
| Areckx | I am putting this project to rest for now, I don't want to risk messing up my entire system | 07:19 |
| blackcatnekonegr | have you tried the mouse configuration tool? | 07:19 |
| szal | astonishingly enough, ~99% of all ppl !list'ing in here are from Italy | 07:19 |
| Areckx | webcamstudio is very buggy, and this is a shame | 07:19 |
| x_XP | szal: it is team extreme 60gb 2.5inch SSD sata3 it work after instalation but hungs up after data restore | 07:19 |
| axxon | anyone here know about any solutions for modprobe looping? | 07:19 |
| lotuspsychje | szal:lol | 07:20 |
| n00by | blackcatnekonegr, yes but there are no scrolling options in gnome3 (id guess they where there in gnome2 as always?) | 07:20 |
| dr_willis | Areckx: i had very few issues with it last i used t=it.. but that was ages ago | 07:20 |
| x_XP | szal: I do have to much on it to start again from scrach | 07:21 |
| dr_willis | x_XP: you install ubuntu to it,. then copy files to the users HOME dir and then it stops working? | 07:21 |
| szal | x_XP: if the disk is full, then the issue is clear, no need to ask for advice imho | 07:21 |
| blackcatnekonegr | n00by, thats why I am moving to kubuntu and lubuntu, gnome3 STILL feels like a beta | 07:21 |
| lotuspsychje | gnome3 got classic option now right? | 07:22 |
| Ben64 | <szal> astonishingly enough, ~99% of all ppl !list'ing in here are from Italy \\ I've noticed that, what's the reason for it? | 07:22 |
| szal | Ben64: no friggin' idea | 07:23 |
| Ben64 | I'd really like to know | 07:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Ben64: many ita ppl want to list warez from bots | 07:23 |
| x_XP | dr_willis: it is correct it doesnt stop but everything is messed up and not functional | 07:23 |
| blackcatnekonegr | n00by, there are a few small programs for ubuntu that can configure mouse /keyboard settings, use whatever they use nowdays for the software center and searcj keyboard or mouse, something might pop up | 07:23 |
| dr_willis | x_XP: clarify whats not working... | 07:23 |
| blackcatnekonegr | maybe this network does not work italy? | 07:23 |
| blackcatnekonegr | *block | 07:24 |
| Ben64 | lotuspsychje: why italy, why freenode?, why #ubuntu? there isn't any file serving here | 07:24 |
| szal | blackcatnekonegr: should it? | 07:24 |
| x_XP | szal: it fits i reduced data to 12 gig | 07:24 |
| lotuspsychje | Ben64: they dont know that lol, they try it everywhere | 07:24 |
| blackcatnekonegr | szal, I havent tried last versions of ubuntu, so I don't know if they still have something like the software center | 07:25 |
| * nofd hi | 07:25 | |

| lotuspsychje | alexandru_:you could try gnome shell with compiz, see what that gives maybe | 07:35 |
| alexandru_ | gnome-shell | 07:35 |
| alexandru_ | that uses mutter | 07:35 |
| alexandru_ | should i go in fallback | 07:35 |
| blackcatnekonegr | alexandru_, in most cases ubuntu only has a general support on video cards, using any option that goes beyond the minimun can cause ubuntu to crash if you don’t have the right video card driver. Lets me guess, nvria? | 07:36 |

| Mneumonic | Does anyone know what else I need to do to disable sticky edges | 07:46 |

| lotuspsychje | !info startupmanager | 07:56 |
| ubottu | Package startupmanager does not exist in precise | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm | 07:56 |
| dr_willis | abes: could be the path or somthing is not set right. rc.local starts befor users login amd could get ran befor networking is up. if you are using wireless | 07:57 |

| Mneumonic | to disable it I had to install ccsm compiz manager and disable grid | 07:58 |
| dr_willis | Mneumonic: still not sure what sticky edges does.. | 07:58 |
| Mneumonic | i realized what it is | 07:58 |

| chronos | how I recover from a failed upgrade to 12.04 | 07:58 |
| chronos | ? | 07:58 |
| Mneumonic | with sticky edges enabled the mouse will "stick" at the point between the two monitors | 07:58 |
| Mneumonic | before it jumps to the next one | 07:58 |
| dr_willis | sticky edges = what your phone has when yyou are eating donuts and texting... | 07:58 |

| L3top | If you were at cleanup, I would say so jefimenko, however it is always a good idea to backup your /home directory prior to such an upgrade... so if you haven't, I might try to do that real quick... then reboot | 09:26 |

| ubottu | tatty: 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 | 09:29 |
| CAZ_au | Everytime i update my package list cache with APT-GET or update manager etc it seems to redownload and not add to cache. Is this normal? because its downloading many MB (some lists over 9mb etc) each time. | 09:29 |
| tatty | Yup. Pae enabled. Thanks :) | 09:29 |
| iksik_ | sburjan: like i said, i've just installed 11.04 yesterday, and upgrade it to 11.10... ehh i don't want to do it again :( | 09:29 |
| tatty | So ubuntu 12.04 kernel is by default pae enabled | 09:30 |
| auronandace | iksik_: in that case you may as well install 12.04 fresh | 09:30 |
| iksik_ | so, i'll stay with 11.10 or just upgrade it to 12.04 if that changes anything :P | 09:30 |

| lImItaO | hi i can't install ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, I keep getting an ugly black screen when it tries to install the bootloader | 09:48 |
| L3top | out of idle curiosity, lets remove the nouveau driver | 09:48 |
| ziyadb__ | rhumbot: if's say to assume that it has nothing to do with the OS if it works but is slow. | 09:48 |
| === chenpoyang is now known as Young_ | ||
| L3top | It really shouldnt be an issue... but... wont hurt to remove it. | 09:49 |
| Boreeas | So, I want to permanently disable a synaptics touchpad on Precise. I'm using "xinput set-prop <dev num> "Device enabled" 0", but everytime the computer sleeps/hibernates/restarts, ir forgety that I disabled it. | 09:49 |
| ziyadb__ | s/if's/it's/ | 09:49 |
| === mcdonc__ is now known as mcdonc | ||
| Boreeas | Is there a way to make the change permanent? | 09:49 |
| === Young_ is now known as chenpoyang | ||
| lImItaO | also it's the first time that the installation program ask me to create an efi partition, so i ended using the default partitioning | 09:49 |
| L3top | savask: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 09:49 |
| rhumbot | ziyabd__ if i download from my windows computer it takes me less than 1 minute | 09:49 |
| savask | L3top: Okay. | 09:49 |
| lcabreza2 | hi guys. i'm afraid to upgrade to 12.04. i'm currently using 10.10 can i upgrade directly ? | 09:49 |
| ziyadb__ | Boreeas: that has to do with some config/init files in /etc/ Google. | 09:50 |
| Boreeas | ziyadb__: Ah, alright, thanks | 09:50 |
| ziyadb__ | rhumbot: odd. Check netstat, try different parameters, see if you're experiencing heavy packet loss. | 09:50 |
| DJones | lcabreza2: You can only upgrade to 12.04 from 10.04 (as the last LTS) or 11.10 | 09:50 |
| L3top | savask: assuming this doesnt fix your issue, which it probably wont, my next step would be to downgrade your driver version to 295.33 unless someone has a better idea. | 09:50 |
| savask | L3top: That package isn't installed. | 09:50 |
| L3top | well allrighty then | 09:51 |
| L3top | hey... I have a question | 09:51 |
| DJones | lcabreza2: You would need to go through 11.04 and 11.10 before going to 12.04 | 09:51 |
| PredsFan | I'm having a hard time with window borders in ubuntu. When I open a program and the window opens, it opens at the top of the screen and it's a pain to try and move it. How do I go about just getting a window to pop up in the middle of the screen? Any help would be great | 09:51 |
| ziyadb__ | lcabreza2: based on what DJones said, it would be easier to just backup your data and perform a clean install. | 09:51 |
| L3top | savask: is this a laptop, and if so does lspci | grep VGA return more than one video card? | 09:51 |
| ziyadb__ | PredsFan: are you using Unity? | 09:51 |
| L3top | Or even if not savask. | 09:51 |
| lcabreza2 | DJones: ok Thanks .. | 09:51 |
| PredsFan | ziyab__ yes I am | 09:52 |
| savask | L3top: It's not a laptop. | 09:52 |
| ziyadb__ | PredsFan: sudo apt-get install compiz, then run compiz and fiddle with the window settings. | 09:52 |
| lImItaO | i have no idea of what to do | 09:52 |
| L3top | check anyway svg | 09:52 |
| L3top | savask* | 09:52 |
| PredsFan | I've already got compiz but I can't figure out how to make that work | 09:52 |
| x_XP | dr_willis: I do appologise for not saying thank you for your help elrier today , my system stoped to respond and i couldnt do anything | 09:52 |
| savask | L3top: Only one card. | 09:52 |
| ziyadb__ | PredsFan: setting where windows are drawn by default might be tedious, try exploring other options. | 09:52 |
| yann2 | hello! nvclock seems to be crashing on ubuntu precise. Is there any alternative that would allow me to speed up the nvidia card's fan, as the card otherwise overheats? | 09:53 |
| ziyadb__ | lImItaO: verify the MD5 checksum of the image you downloaded, try reinstalling. | 09:53 |
| lImItaO | can anyone help me | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | x_XP: no problem. This channel gets hectic | 09:53 |
| lImItaO | ziyadb__: yes | 09:53 |
| lImItaO | it's correct | 09:53 |
| lImItaO | i try installing from cd and an sd-card | 09:53 |
| lImItaO | using custom partitioning and default | 09:54 |
| PredsFan | ziyadb__: I'm not sure what that means. Forgive me for being a noob. What other options are there? | 09:54 |
| ziyadb__ | lImItaO: what are you trying to install it on? | 09:54 |
| lImItaO | i think it's an issue with the efi partition | 09:54 |
| ziyadb__ | PredsFan: try Unity 2D or Gnome and see if the issue persists, etc. Try different approaches. | 09:54 |
| lImItaO | i'm trying to install on an Acer Aspire 3810T | 09:55 |
| ziyadb__ | lImItaO: why are you trying to install it in an efi partition? | 09:55 |
| x_XP | dr_willis: in the minetime I did put back SSD in my lappy, installed 12.04 , restore copied files from USB HDD and it worked better this time for me except a lot of programs I had cannot be located I am on limited mobile broadband only and took me long time to accumulate stuff I needed is there a procedure to do it 100% successfully ? | 09:55 |
| lImItaO | ziyadb__: i don't try nothing, even using the default installation, using the whole disk installation fails at bootloader install | 09:56 |
| ziyadb__ | lImItaO: I can't help you much beyond that really. Sorry. | 09:56 |
| lImItaO | and when i make a custom partitioning i get an efi related alert | 09:56 |
| lImItaO | ziyadb__: thank you anyway | 09:56 |
| L3top | Ok... then if I were you I would install the xswat 295.33 version savask. are you on 32 or 64? | 09:56 |
| dr_willis | x_XP: you normally dont 'copy' installed apps from one system to another. unless you do a exact clone. you ccan generate a list and reinsall apps you installed via the package manager system. | 09:57 |
| savask | L3top: 32 | 09:57 |
| L3top | I would sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current I would download/wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-current_295.33-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1_i386.deb then sudo dpkg -i nvidia-current_295.33-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1_i386.deb from wherever you dl it to, and reboot. | 09:59 |
| laeusen | L3top: well, after removing libclutter-gst-1.0-0 pidgin is ruuning again, but libclutter-gst-1.0-0 depends on gnome... | 09:59 |
| x_XP | dr_willis: I am on limited mobile broadband only and it took me few months to complete them downloads . is there an another way other then download and install? | 09:59 |
| savask | L3top: Okay. | 09:59 |
| samfisher | hi. I have an 8-port router and I want to connect 6 PCs and a server. The problem is that I want the server (http and email) to have the domain mydomain.com AND every user to connect as user1@mydomain.com not user@localhost | 09:59 |
| L3top | but what depends on libclutter laeusen? | 10:00 |
| laeusen | I think this was somehow installed while trying to get cheese running | 10:01 |
| laeusen | but cheese was never working | 10:01 |
| laeusen | if i remove libclutter, gnome will be removed automatically | 10:01 |
| laeusen | so, don't care about chesse. Just want to have pidgin ang gnome working poperly ;-) | 10:01 |
| Defuera | hi all, google chrome does not launch, what can be the problem? no error msg, just nothing | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | x_XP: months? makes me wonder what all you installed.. if the apps are dfrom a differnt release you dont move them over: If the other install is identical; you could just clone it to the new hd. you may need to figure out how to shrink it down a bit. | 10:02 |
| Defuera | ps. ubuntu 12.04 | 10:02 |
| samfisher | anyone, please? | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | !hostname | samfisher | 10:03 |
| ubottu | samfisher: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 10:03 |
| laeusen | well, I need to keep on trying later, thank you so far | 10:03 |

| mirak | dr_willis, i know the basic flaws, i want to know if anyone ever managed to have something as neat as on windows | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | Fleck: you use the 'edit' feature of the grub menu and append the item to the end of the kernel= line, or i just use the 'nofb' option but that may not be orrect any more | 10:07 |
| mirak | dr_willis, just to know if i was time finding a way, or just install a dual boot | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | fernando_: wallpaper settings should not keep you from logging in. | 10:08 |

| dr_willis | fernando_: as a test yoi could login via console and move all your .*whatever* config files and dirs to some Backup dir: and see if resetting everything helps | 10:12 |
| L3top | ok... then just open chrome several times and view the end of the dmesg log. | 10:12 |

| DJones | !classic | Guest6058 | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Guest6058: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 10:15 |
| Guest6058 | thanks DJones | 10:15 |

| MonkeyDust | drostie-live terminal, or gnome-terminal | 10:31 |
| ThinkT510 | drostie-live: you can add the terminal to the launchbar, also empathy is installed by default which can handle irc (i prefer xchat) | 10:32 |

| drostie-live | MonkeyDust, yeah, no, it's not showing up under the alt launcher under "terminal" or "gnome". :x | 10:32 |

| drostie-live | Is there a way to get a list of all the programs installed? | 10:32 |
| drostie-live | for that matter, is there a way to learn wtf unity is all about for those of us who have been using kde when it sucked? | 10:33 |
| L3top | I don't know why I am surprised. I frankly don't know how your machine is running padhu. sudo apt-get remove fglrx; sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:33 |
| synergizm | now i reinstalled the nvidia driver using sudo apt-get install nvidia-current. start x now sais "no protocol specified" | 10:33 |
| ThinkT510 | toto456: maybe its unmaintained or its integrated into perl | 10:33 |
| L3top | synergizm: lspci | grep VGA | 10:34 |
| padhu | L3top: the last choice? | 10:34 |
| drostie-live | because just knowing to hit alt was already a bit of an "I got lucky" thing. | 10:34 |
| L3top | both. | 10:34 |
| padhu | L3top: chance* | 10:34 |
| L3top | it will not upgrade until you remove the broken fglrx install. | 10:35 |
| synergizm | L3top: it lists my vga | 10:35 |
| synergizm | L3top: sorry me big linux noob :S | 10:35 |
| L3top | ah... no... I expect this will work... once you upgrade, then install fglrx again and I expect it will go. | 10:35 |
| L3top | I wasn't thinking synergizm, clearly you are not on that machine... lspci -nn |grep VGA and tell me the last 4 digits it lists | 10:36 |
| drostie-live | ah, okay, got the terminal on my launcher bar, that's a little better. | 10:36 |
| synergizm | L3top: ahhh hornet in my room gimme a sec >& | 10:36 |
| L3top | padhu: just so you know, you shouldnt have to dl fglrx again, it should be in your cache | 10:36 |

| synergizm | L3top: im back :) | 10:37 |
| airdem | for some reason i cannot change the language of a single user. the .pam_environment has no effect and i always get the systemwide language settings. any ideas? | 10:37 |
| padhu | L3top: then how can i clear this? | 10:38 |
| synergizm | L3top: u mean [10de:0402] _ | 10:38 |
| L3top | yup... one second. | 10:38 |
| L3top | padhu sudo apt-get remove fglrx; sudo apt-get upgrade then, assuming no dpkg errors, sudo apt-get install fglrx, and it just may work... your system was completely borked. | 10:39 |
| Pitel | can I somehow configure Apport to open launchpad bug report after reporting it? | 10:39 |
| jpds | Pitel: It does that already? | 10:40 |
| Pitel | it doean't | 10:40 |
| padhu | it needs to download 740MB. I think that it is not possible in my network :-( | 10:40 |
| airdem | is there any way to force the .pam_environment settings? my users home is encrypted. can that be the problem? | 10:41 |
| L3top | yes synergizm... that would be the appropriate driver... a lot of nvidia problems. YOU may actually benefit from the downgraded driver... gimme a min, kids up | 10:41 |
| synergizm | L3top: kk | 10:41 |
| padhu | L3top: it's the time to reinstall with Ubuntu 12.04. i am going to backup the files first | 10:42 |
| savask | synergizm: Does your monitor shows something? (I'm asking cause I have a similar problem) | 10:43 |
| synergizm | L3top: i tried another reboot after reinstalling the nvidia driver and now i got a loginscreen | 10:43 |
| synergizm | savask: what u mean? shell was working just the xserver didnt | 10:44 |
| airdem | why does nobody has a clue about this? | 10:44 |

| mcdonc | alecm_: i wrote supervisor ;-) i'm afraid it wont go past 1024 files very easily | 10:49 |
| mcdonc | but if you need fewer than that and its the shell limiting you can probably use the bash ulimit builtin, although i dont remember the flag to bump the number of file handles | 10:51 |
| alecm_ | mcdonc: pleasure to meet you! hmmm. Well the problem is lots of process fopening lots of files, and fopen failing saying 'Too many files' | 10:51 |
| alecm_ | ulimit -n is 1024 | 10:51 |
| adarax | can anyone tell me were i can find blackbuntu irc channel? | 10:52 |
| captine | hi all. i am still struggling with Broadcom wifi in 12.04 on BCM43227 hardware | 10:52 |
| mcdonc | alecm_: well like i said, it's unfortunately hard limited to 1024 open file handles in the code.. because it uses select(), which has that limit | 10:52 |
| mcdonc | so if you're going over that, i'm afraid you'll need to run multiple supervisor instances | 10:53 |

| alecm_ | mcdonc: so the 1024 limit, is it applied to each php process, or across them all? | 11:09 |
| mcdonc | alecm_: ok.. well, it doesnt matter how many files the processes access.. it's the stdin, stdout, and stderr of each php process being selected() upon | 11:09 |
| dalek_ | escott, that fixed it! always-use-location-entry was set to true in gconf-editor. Now breadcrumbs buttons have come back. | 11:10 |

| Maxwell | i386 | 11:15 |
| iceroot | Maxwell: hm, ok | 11:15 |
| qtbchin | for starters, i am in the console and it says that SUDO is not a recognized command | 11:15 |
| qtbchin | why is that | 11:15 |
| alecm_ | mcdonc: they're all worker processes pulling small jobs from a queue | 11:15 |
| dalek_ | I have wine installed. A side effect of this is - when I right-click on a text file, the menu displays both Text Editor (gedit) AND notepad (through wine) as options to open the text file. Is there anyway to prevent the wine notepad app from showing up as an option without uninstalling wine? | 11:16 |
| mcdonc | alecm_: so this is not a web app? | 11:16 |
| alecm_ | mcdonc: and it's looking like we will need multiple machines, went for a test run today and it struggled! | 11:16 |

| alecm_ | mcdonc: where would the increase be made? | 11:18 |
| mcdonc | alecm_: well.. still, if each process consumes measurable cpu time while processing the jobs, there's no way that using 1000 processes is going to make it go any faster than using, say, 20. | 11:18 |

| qtbchin | no it's a windows drive gone bad... just need theimage so i can try to recover some files before it totally dies | 11:19 |
| alecm_ | mcdonc: we need throughput, if each job takes a couple seconds then the more workers the better | 11:19 |
| mcdonc | and if all thousand of them are trying to hit the same resources when they do run, then you're gonna be blocked on whatever shared resource they're trying to access anyway | 11:19 |

| ghaith | Hi, i'm having problems with Wireless on my laptop using 12.04. i had 11.10 before with no problems. The problem is that the network manager keeps trying to connect to my router (linksys E2500) and fails. I tried to connect to other wireless networks and it worked .

| ThinkT510 | ecthiender: you won't get much compression since they are mp3s | 11:31 |

| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, a lot of those themes are for the older gnome2 | 11:31 |

| n00by | Guest45229, uBOTtu is a script | 12:15 |
| tarvid_ | divx 5 plays smoothly in a small window but is choppy in full-screen, is that hardware or software? | 12:16 |
| hRL | escott & ThinkT510 here is paste url http://paste.ubuntu.com/959794/ | 12:16 |
| n00by | Those who use gnome-shell, do you have some dock/taskbar for switching apps in place? | 12:17 |
| Guest45229 | ThinkT510, think of re-installing around 50 machines, all used fundamentally by technophobes. Even I don't like unity. they are going to be on the phone to me all damn daw. | 12:17 |
| tarvid_ | Radeon X300 vga card | 12:18 |
| sary | ghaith: my lshw -C network shows configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwl3945 .. am no sure why yours just says iwlwifi 1 | 12:19 |
| escott | hRL, did you burn an ubuntu CD and put it in your CD drive? | 12:19 |
| Guest45229 | hmmm, what's the difference between installing gnome-shell and gnome-session-fallback? | 12:19 |
| hRL | escott yesss | 12:19 |
| ThinkT510 | Guest45229: i'm simply informing you that gnome2 is no longer available for newer releases, that means you won't have it exactly the same interface, therefore the necessity arises to find a suitable alternative | 12:19 |
| hRL | escott i got external USB DVD Drive | 12:19 |
| limitgb | ThinkT510, Ubuntu installed correctly but after rebooting doesn't boot | 12:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest45229 fallback looks like gnome2 | 12:19 |
| limitgb | :( | 12:19 |
| escott | hRL, that shouldnt be necessary. just download the *.iso and put it in the same folder as your wubi.exe installer | 12:20 |
| limitgb | just a black screen and a blinking cursor | 12:20 |
| escott | hRL, that might be part of the problem | 12:20 |
| ThinkT510 | !nomodeset | limitgb | 12:20 |
| ubottu | limitgb: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 12:20 |
| hRL | escott or can i use virtual drive? | 12:20 |
| escott | limitgb, did the bootloader come up? or is this just bios not finding a bootloader? | 12:20 |
| limitgb | no boorloader came up | 12:21 |
| escott | hRL, when debugging it is always better to reduce the complexity. burning cds/using virtual drives just adds complexity. wubi.exe should be able to read ubuntu*.iso FILE and create the wubi system from that file | 12:21 |
| limitgb | bootloader, sorry | 12:21 |
| escott | limitgb, well you could boot a livecd, and reinstall grub from a chroot | 12:22 |
| hRL | escott ok, i will copy *.iso in same drive | 12:22 |

| captainjamie | Is there a way of embedding the album art in banshee into the .mp3 files? | 12:23 |
| limitgb | i'm going to try the default install | 12:23 |
| n00by | limitgb, you can try to boot from cd/pendrive and chroot into your new installation to reinstall grub | 12:23 |
| limitgb | mmm | 12:23 |
| Guest45229 | think510:gnome3 looks like a slightly modified gnome2(with a missing system menu) which is a fine alternative to a completely new desktop. any way I can mod the ubuntu distro so it just installs that instead? Unity is just not an option. If I wanted a completely new desktop I'd go look at the different flavours of ubuntu. | 12:24 |
| limitgb | i think i partitioned wrong | 12:24 |
| limitgb | i got just a primary partition sda1 /boot | 12:25 |
| limitgb | is taht a problem? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | limitgb: then mount it as / and you should be ok, as long as the right data is on the partition | 12:25 |
| === jp__ is now known as jpsullia | ||
| escott | limitgb, partitioning could be a problem, but isn't likely (you would have to pick a more exotic option like btrfs/xfs filesystems or lvm etc) | 12:26 |
| Guest45229 | captainjamie:Album art is stored in the mp3 tag (certainly in ID3v2). | 12:26 |
| n00by | limitgb, if you want to reinstall grub to /dev/sda in mbr for a root on /dev/sda1 you would do something like this from live session (cd/pendrive): sudo su ; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev ; mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys ; mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc ; sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash ; grub-install --force /dev/sda ; exit ; reboot | 12:26 |
| escott | limitgb, you don't have any kind of raid do you? multiple hard disks? | 12:27 |
| ThinkT510 | !remaster | Guest45229 | 12:27 |
| ubottu | Guest45229: 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 | 12:27 |
| limitgb | escott, not, just one disk | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | n00by: does the grub-install run after the chroot command? | 12:27 |
| captainjamie | Guest45229: Not in banshee. I'm moving to rhythmbox and the album art isn't following... | 12:27 |
| ThinkT510 | Guest45229: i can highly recommend switching to xfce though | 12:27 |
| PavelK | Hello | 12:27 |
| jpsullia | which is the best web blocking application for Linux | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | jpsullia: there is no single best app for anything | 12:28 |
| ThinkT510 | !best | jpsullia | 12:28 |
| n00by | ActionParsnip, yes because it searches the kernel in the "/" of the chrooted sys | 12:28 |
| ubottu | jpsullia: 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. | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | n00by: ahh, nice. so it ca be scripted :) | 12:28 |
| n00by | ActionParsnip, i did it once like that and it worked (i had to force grub-install because it refused to write mbr on gpt) | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | n00by: nice, thanks for the info | 12:30 |
| jpsullia | any best firewall | 12:30 |
| Guest45229 | thanks ThinkT510, I'll have a look at xfce. Any idea why ubuntu has changed so drastically? i thought the whole point was that while a k, x etc prefix means different version with different desktop, ubuntu would always use gnome and look the same. | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jpsullia: none and all | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !firewall | jpsullia | 12:31 |
| ubottu | jpsullia: 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. | 12:31 |
| nannes | Hi! I'm trying to make the GeForce6150se work with Precise! When I try to install nvidia96 drivers an error comes out: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/959762/ (the xorg-video-abi-10 can't be installed, isn't in repos). How can I make it work?? | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | nannes: mine works with the 295 driver here | 12:31 |
| nannes | ActionParsnip: is it the same card? | 12:31 |
| ThinkT510 | Guest45229: as i've told you, gnome devs stopped gnome2, cannonical disagree with how gnome3 is so they made unity, ubuntu is still gnome based | 12:31 |
| Naemdar | Does anyone know if a logitech hd webcam with bult in mic work on ubuntu? | 12:32 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest45229 it's not canonocal/ubuntu that has changed, it's gnome | 12:32 |

| FlyingFoX | i am currently upgrading to 12.04 and i see that the updater is downloading the same file over and over again. is this normal? | 12:33 |
| FlyingFoX | this is the file: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main openjdk-6-jre-headless amd64 6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu2 [25.3 MB] | 12:33 |
| ThinkT510 | MonkeyDust: its amazing the amount of people who don't realise that | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest45229: Ubuntu uses Gnome by default, it just uses Unity as the shell. There is this guide to make it look like Gnome2: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ | 12:34 |
| nannes | ActionParsnip: :O I'm solving this problem to a friend which is far from here, so I have to ask you, also: were the 295drivers on "driverHardware" or did you install them by hand? | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | FlyingFoX: you sure you aren't pressing ENTER and making the download show on a differnet line | 12:35 |

| samfisher | How could I easly replicate my Ubuntu installation (desktop config, installed programs) on other systems | 12:36 |
| n00by | ActionParsnip, but i wouldnt script stuff like that since i want to double check every single command succeeds | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | FlyingFoX: I'd just let it have it's fun | 12:36 |
| Tak | and it nests! http://i.imgur.com/ShnA5.png | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | n00by: could use && instead of ; | 12:36 |
| escott | !clone | samfisher will get you installed programs | 12:36 |
| ubottu | samfisher will get you installed programs: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 12:37 |
| Guest45229 | is that where this gnome 'classic' phrase has come from? I've seen a desktop like no other labelled as gnome (kind of unity like) that's not the new gnome, is it? | 12:37 |
| FlyingFoX | so i had a look and it is downloading the openjdk-6-jre-headless for the 40th time now ... | 12:37 |
| n00by | ActionParsnip, propably yes, but i doubt it'll run over chroot and stuff? | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest45229: you just change the shell from unity to gnome-panel | 12:37 |
| escott | samfisher, for user settings just backup and restore your $HOME directory. and for system wide settings those should be in /etc so if you use somethink like etckeeper that can help identify your modifications from the stock settings | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest45229: it'll still be gnome 3 | 12:38 |
| ThinkT510 | Guest45229: in 11.04 classic is gnome2, in 12.04 classic is fallback mode in gnome3 | 12:38 |
| escott | FlyingFoX, perhaps a bad checksum | 12:38 |
| nannes | ActionParsnip: thank you | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ThinkT510: there is no Gnome2 in Precise | 12:38 |
| samfisher | great | 12:38 |
| samfisher | thanks | 12:38 |
| FlyingFoX | escott: that could be it does stop at 99% every time for about 10-20 seconds | 12:38 |
| ThinkT510 | ActionParsnip: i know, can you re-read my comment | 12:39 |
| samfisher | I just one to know how would you guys proceed if need to install ubuntu on 5 machines on a LAN | 12:39 |
| Guest45229 | even in fallback mode the system menu is still missing | 12:39 |
| escott | FlyingFoX, there are a couple possibilities. (1) that the checksum it is checking against is wrong, (2) that some proxy between you and the source location has a bad copy of the file and keeps feeding it to you | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | samfisher: could make an image, then put the image on the other 4 | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ThinkT510: my bad :) | 12:40 |
| ThinkT510 | ActionParsnip: no worries | 12:40 |
| FlyingFoX | escott: hm there could indeed be a proxy inbetween. i am on a university network and they have something like that for http traffic. not sure if it caches anything though. | 12:41 |
| w333 | Ugh I have a Lenovo B570 laptop... my laptop wifi stopped worked with the new update from 11.10 to 12.04 LTS... I put acer_wmi in my blacklist to make it work before, it's still there. No idea why wifi = dead now. | 12:41 |
| escott | FlyingFoX, its rare for a proxy to cache something that large. a third possibility is a bad mirror. if you have some kind of console access you might try downloading the file from a different mirror and seeing if you get the same checksum | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | w333: what wifi chip does it use? | 12:42 |
| FlyingFoX | escott: yes i got console access. ill have a look into that | 12:42 |
| panx | mam pytanko jaką komende wpisać by komp wyłączysz się za 20 minut? | 12:42 |
| samfisher | ActionParsnip: and I you have to put in a server also that will serve an internal webapp on internal.domain.com, what would you do more than a VPN (other 2 pc are outside of town) | 12:42 |
| escott | !pl | panx | 12:43 |
| ubottu | panx: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 12:43 |
| escott | that looks roughly like the same language. lets hope im right | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | samfisher: could rsync data over ssh | 12:43 |
| samfisher | ActionParsnip: I also want that every user to be able to login from every machine, and use username@domain.com (which is their public email) is this possible? | 12:44 |

| robinsch | when i get hilighed in irc | 12:46 |
| drostie | Is there any way to send a report of all of the things that still suck with Unity so that one of the Unity devs can fix them? :> | 12:47 |
| drostie | I'd look through the codebase myself but I'm kinda busy finishing a thesis. | 12:47 |
| robinsch | i used the irssi-notify script but it gives me: Failed to open connection to "session" message bus: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11 | 12:47 |

| ThinkT510 | drostie: i'm not sure opinions count as bug reports | 12:48 |

| nannes | ActionParsnip: lines 17-21 | 12:49 |
| drostie | ThinkT510: broken tabcomplete is not an opinion, it's a bug report. Broken touchscreen navigation is not an opinion, it is a bug report. :< | 12:50 |
| ThinkT510 | drostie: i didn't get that vibe from you when you said "still suck" | 12:51 |
| drostie | ThinkT510: not being able to text-edit a path on a folder is not an opinion, but it's a feature request that someone should listen to. | 12:51 |

| n000by | pouncer, if its a ppa use sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:whateveryouhavethere because it will download the keys and make proper whateveryouhavethere.list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 13:18 |
| samfisher | I want the users to be able to move from pc to pc without having to add them all on all the pc's | 13:18 |
| escott | samfisher, and im saying, "go ahead and do that" set the username to "joe@example.com" and then if you were to email that local account it would be unnatural because it would be 'joe@example.com'@localhost (and you would probably have to do something crazy to escape that first @) | 13:18 |

| shamt | hi | 13:19 |
| samfisher | so, i want to add users just on the server, and the server to store their credentials somehow (maybe their desktop and /home also) | 13:20 |
| samfisher | so when they log in from another computer, they have all their settings | 13:20 |
| GG111 | samfisher: what is the problem then ? | 13:20 |
| samfisher | GG111: dunno what to use | 13:20 |

| ActionParsnip | samfisher: groupwise is one way | 13:22 |
| escott | samfisher, man 5 passwd says nothing about restricted characters although presumably ":" would have to be disallowed/escaped in some fashion so maybe its just missing the restrictions | 13:22 |

| melvincv | Please check and advice. http://paste.ubuntu.com/959944/ | 13:22 |

| ActionParsnip | samfisher: indeed | 13:22 |
| samfisher | GG111: they aren't | 13:22 |
| GG111 | so, they're all on the same computer? | 13:22 |
| samfisher | just local, and we will have a nice server I want to load with things like active directory.. for linux | 13:23 |
| GG111 | samfisher: you're asking for semething that is natively supported on Linux. | 13:23 |
| Arnieswap | There is no client to transfer data or upgrade the device | 13:23 |
| n000by | samfisher, i dont know anything about that but maybe you could use openLDAP or similar? | 13:23 |

| glda19 | is here a way to convert ntfs to etx3 | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | glda19: format the partition | 13:34 |
| user | ActionParsnip: I have message either: grub failed install or error: hd2 appears to contain a iso9660 filesystem which isn't known to reserve space for DOS-style boot.

| ian_mac | escott: ah ok. Thanks. | 13:35 |

| escott | user, sounds like you didnt do the chroot correctly | 13:36 |
| ye | ActionParsnip: I tried , but it goes right into Ubuntu 10.04 immediatly | 13:36 |
| escott | user, and tried to run grub-install on the livecd device not the hard drive | 13:36 |
| user | ActionParsnip: How to do it in live? | 13:36 |
| Zentaur | did anybody have problems installing 12.04? I have a lot | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | user: unmount the partition and read: man fsck | 13:36 |

No init found. try passing init=bootarg, so, my first question: what params should I pass?, second: this error could be related to some usb read error? i've already test the iso from a virtual machine and it works, so suggestions are welcome | 13:37 |
| === jalcine is now known as jacky | ||
| auronandace | patch: sorry, i use virtualbox | 13:37 |
| glda19 | auronandace, i don't now | 13:37 |
| Zentaur | I can only install entering a live session from the cd. But when it ends copyng the files the installer exits and nothing more happens. | 13:37 |
| n000by | ActionParsnip, user : did you chroot before into your old root partition ? maybe you also can use the --root-directory option if you mounted it and didnt chroot | 13:37 |
| auronandace | glda19: you should ask him, if you reformat you will lose all data on that partition | 13:37 |
| escott | viejotren, it could be an issue with your bios. have you ever been able to boot a usb device? | 13:38 |
| viejotren | yes absolutely | 13:38 |
| Zentaur | I installed it in anoter machine with virtualvox and the installation should go on. | 13:38 |

| viejotren | yes escott i guessed so but it is the first time | 13:39 |
| viejotren | i always use unetbootin | 13:39 |

| ian_mac | escott: ok. I'm going to try those. I have to remember how to get a RDP connection first so I can see what happens at boot | 13:42 |
| quick- | n000by: check https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/258/notifications-alert-on-user-menu/ | 13:42 |

| auronandace | rangerpb: it isn't, you need to use the alternative cd | 13:46 |
| maslen | Is it recommended yet to update to 12.04 if you're running 11.10? | 13:46 |

| mi3 | can someone kindly suggest an alternative to nautilus actions for lubuntu users? | 13:46 |
| OerHeks | rangerpb, not, i think you need the alternate iso to configure LVM | 13:46 |
| GirlyGirl | mi3: Thunar | 13:47 |
| rangerpb | OerHeks, auronandace is that a statement about LVM, as in it's not recommended? | 13:47 |
| GirlyGirl | mi3: Oops sorry you said nautilus actions | 13:47 |

| srikanth | no i hav given the correct . trying from yesterday | 13:48 |
| GirlyGirl | mi3: Nautilus actions is like dolphin service menus in KDE right? | 13:48 |
| auronandace | rangerpb: no idea why they don't have it in the desktop iso, maybe it just isn't used that widely | 13:48 |
| quick- | srikanth: Have you previously connected with that network ? | 13:48 |
| mi3 | GirlyGirl, I am using lubuntu which uses lxde, I dont use kde! | 13:48 |

| srikanth | no i ve recently installed ubuntu | 13:49 |

| rangerpb | auronandace, OerHeks ok taking a look. is it true there is no 32bit alternate? | 13:49 |
| auronandace | OerHeks: good question | 13:49 |
| LinuxMonkey | mohd: since you installed linux wouldnt that be the Linux key or Super Key, in any case I would think that maybe you have an incorrect keyboard layout selected | 13:49 |
| quick- | srikanth: YOu are able to view the network but not able to connect to it ? | 13:49 |
| auronandace | rangerpb: there should be both 32 and 64 | 13:49 |
| srikanth | yes . | 13:50 |
| mi3 | GirlyGirl, nautilus actions is a fantastic tool that allows you to customize nautilus file manager | 13:50 |
| rangerpb | auronandace, im only seeing amd64 and powerpc for alternate | 13:50 |
| quick- | just try to delete the network from your list of networks and restart and try to connect . i know its sort of lame but kind of worked for me once . | 13:51 |
| auronandace | rangerpb: where are you looking? | 13:51 |
| GirlyGirl | mi3: Customise in the way of adding context menus? | 13:51 |

| Fat-Thing | ActionParsnip, but i want to open my skype app....i got this problem not only on skype but also to my apache mysql wordpress can't find the application icon i dunno where and how tsk.tsk.tsk | 14:12 |
| davey_ | sorry im new to the chat sorry for "flooding" :O | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: dang | 14:14 |
| LHammonds | Greetings and salutations. Is there anyone here that is familiar with Bash scripting and LVM? | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Fat-Thing: yes, but its still running, so a new one cannot be launched | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | davey_: replace sudo fullupgrade with: sudo apt-get update | 14:14 |
| Night_Elf | Multiply: At the /etc/exports you have lines that contain the options for each exported directory, similar to this one: (rw,insecure,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) | 14:15 |
| Night_Elf | What interests you is the no_root_squash one. You just might need to add that one for the directory you need. | 14:15 |
| Multiply | Night_Elf: I used rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async before, tried using all_squash, to see if helped. I'll try with no_root_squash. | 14:16 |
| Night_Elf | Multiply: and you need to restart the nfs services after the modification, for the changes to take effect. | 14:16 |
| Fat-Thing | is there a way i can put all my open/running applications in a panel? and how? if it is possible then | 14:16 |
| aboudreault | Hi, using ubuntu one desktop, how can I add a new folder to sync. I only see Ubuntu One folder and can't add anything else | 14:16 |
| Multiply | Night_Elf: I restarted all the VMs. :) | 14:16 |
| davey_ | sudo fullupgrade doesnt work :O | 14:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | looking for external drive indexer with some or all of this features http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=PFRSSGL1 | 14:17 |
| Night_Elf | Multiply: for me (Debian actually) I just do /etc/init.d/portmap restart ; /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart; /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart | 14:17 |
| davey_ | ahh i c to update repository | 14:18 |
| auronandace | davey_: its an alias that ActionParsnip uses, so it doesn't exist on your system | 14:18 |
| Multiply | Night_Elf: For some reason my fileserver stalled when restarting the NFS kernel daemon, so I just restarted the servers.. No biggie. | 14:18 |
| entropy_ | hello all | 14:18 |
| entropy_ | just checking the channel | 14:18 |

| sylvie | Hello, some1 using opera here ? | 14:21 |
| grnt | People, I'm forking openbox to apply some of my patches. Does anyone know how to setup the development environment comfortably? | 14:21 |
| Fat-Thing | is there a way i can put all my open/running applications in a panel? and how? if it is possible then | 14:21 |
| auronandace | Fat-Thing: unity does that be default | 14:22 |
| auronandace | by | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | auronandace: it's a dead handy script :) | 14:22 |
| Multiply | Thanks Night_Elf. It did the trick. <3 | 14:22 |
| Night_Elf | grnt: I'd think you'd need build-essential package, at the least. | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | davey_: yes, you add the PPA then you need to run apt-get update to read the new source | 14:23 |
| GG111 | BTW, where would be a good place to check if users cannot mount usb devices ? any they are under "plugdev" group ? | 14:23 |
| mirak2 | hi | 14:23 |
| grnt | Ubuntu starts openbox session through xsession file, after login manager. If I build my patched openbox with custom prefix and symlink executables to /usr/local/bin, will it start my patched openbox (from /usr/local/bin)? | 14:24 |
| sylvie | is there a simple what to revert updates installed ? | 14:24 |
| sylvie | i want my (working) old versions | 14:24 |
| Night_Elf | Multiply: it's good. But then again, remove that thing as soon as you don't need it. Imagine me having some nfs shares of your server. I am root in my machine, and I can thus place root owned stuff into YOUR machines via the nfs. And these can be rootkits... with root permitions! Not good! | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | grnt: you could modify the system to run your binary | 14:24 |
| grnt | The question basically is, does /usr/local/bin have more priority than /usr/bin or /bin | 14:24 |
| compdoc | I tried googling, but could not find an answer. Does anyone know how to set a system to shutdown when I press the computer's power button? | 14:25 |
| === positronus_away is now known as positronus | ||
| jrib | grnt: echo $PATH and see | 14:25 |
| LjL | grnt: type "echo $PATH". the order of the directories listed there reflects priority | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | grnt: seems it does, if $PATH is read left to right | 14:25 |
| grnt | thanks, people. So the leftmost path is highest priority, right? | 14:25 |
| LjL | right | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | grnt: if memory serves, yes | 14:26 |
| Night_Elf | grnt: yes. the path is read from left to right. First match completes the search. | 14:26 |
| LHammonds | Is there any way to turn off all the "user x has joined" and "user x has quit" messages? It is difficult to tell who is typing something with all the bot messages. | 14:27 |
| GG111 | LHammonds: what is your IRC client ? | 14:28 |
| Multiply | Night_Elf: Of course it would be very bad, and I am going to remove them, when the whole setup is finalized. But for now, everything seems to run smoothly | 14:28 |
| DrDittersdorf | What is the best way to activate screensaver on 12.04 64bit using gnome 3? | 14:28 |
| LHammonds | I am using a web-based chat......webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu# | 14:29 |
| Night_Elf | LHammonds: lol. I think that depends on the irc client you are using. You could send the join-part messages to some other window. I can't be sure. Myself I use kvirc client, and I differ those messages from proper human talk, bu colour. | 14:29 |

| nlici | Hi All. How can i open another user account in ubuntu 12.04 ? | 14:29 |
| grnt | Ok. Now from what I understand, every time I rebuild openbox to test new stuff, I obviously will need to restart openbox and whole X session. I'd probably better use multiple ttys to develop from there? | 14:29 |
| Multiply | LHammonds: Top left corner -> Options -> HIDE user joins and so on | 14:29 |
| Fat-Thing | is it possible to get the Apache application icon? and MySQL? how? where? | 14:29 |
| GG111 | LHammonds: if you type /ign and then <tab> does it complete to /ignore ? | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | nlici: like make a new user? | 14:30 |
| DrDittersdorf | Is it that simple? | 14:30 |
| GG111 | no grabbers on where would be a good place to check if users cannot mount usb devices ? any they are under "plugdev" group ? | 14:30 |
| Multiply | GG111: tabbing finishes nicknames only, AFAIK | 14:30 |
| LHammonds | Thanks Multiply...it is in top left corner --> options. | 14:30 |
| nlici | yes another one i do not want some body use my account another account i mean a user isint it? | 14:30 |

| rollitup | can someone help me to get sound to work | 14:31 |
| Multiply | GG111: It's what I told him. :D | 14:31 |
| rollitup | i have no sound since i install ubuntu | 14:31 |
| GG111 | cool | 14:31 |
| rollitup | i have two soundcards, I have disabled the onboard one, the soundcard I intend to use is M-audio 1010lt | 14:31 |
| GG111 | rollitup: do you know how to open a command shell ?? | 14:31 |
| rollitup | yes | 14:31 |
| LHammonds | Multiply: Am I typing this where only you can see it? | 14:32 |
| GG111 | rollitup: good, type "alsamixer",. what happens ? | 14:32 |
| Night_Elf | LHammonds: yes | 14:32 |
| Multiply | LHammonds: Nope. | 14:32 |
| Multiply | lol Night_Elf xD | 14:32 |
| palmpilot | hmmm - where is the best place to add some additional parameters when there is no xorg.conf? | 14:32 |
| rollitup | i get a mixer in the console | 14:32 |
| rollitup | Card: M Audio Delta 1010LT | 14:32 |
| GG111 | you should see in that window which sound card you're controliing, is that the one you want ? | 14:33 |
| GG111 | OK, yes it is. | 14:33 |
| Night_Elf | LHammonds: for some reason Multiply can't read you, but he will be able to reply anyhow. :p | 14:33 |
| rollitup | Chip: ICE1712 - multitrack | 14:33 |
| rollitup | yes that is the one i want | 14:33 |
| rollitup | but i hear no sound | 14:33 |
| GG111 | are all the volume for PCM / speaker/ master up ? | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh Thanks | 14:33 |
| rollitup | yes | 14:33 |
| GG111 | and none of them has MM on the very bottom ? | 14:33 |
| Multiply | LHammonds: If you want to talk to someone 'privately' write: /query NICKNAME, or simply click their name on the right sidebar, and choose query. It'll open another tab inside the chat, and you can write there. :) | 14:33 |

| bouma | im trying to set the application that is used to open magnetlinks in chromium, it uses transmission, how do i change this ?? | 14:35 |
| GG111 | OK. rollitup what does dmesg |grep audio output ? | 14:36 |
| GG111 | "dmesg |grep audio" | 14:36 |
| palmpilot | where is the best place to add some additional parameters when there is no xorg.conf? | 14:36 |
| patch | . | 14:36 |
| rollitup | does not give any output | 14:37 |
| TheBuntu | Think 1204 is the best for ATI Catalyst and gnome shell !! | 14:37 |
| theadmin | rollitup: Can you identify the card with "sudo lshw -C sound | grep product"? | 14:37 |
| bouma | ive done some googles which indicate i should edit a file in ~/.local/share/applications bit this doesnt exist in ub1204 ? | 14:37 |
| GG111 | rollitup: how about sudo dmesg |grep audio ? | 14:37 |
| theadmin | bouma: It might not exist by default, I mean, stuff in ~/.local is usually self-created | 14:37 |
| nlici | thanks done! | 14:38 |
| rollitup | it gives product: ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller | 14:38 |
| theadmin | bouma: Please note that files/dirs which start with . are hidden in the default filemanager, and to see them you need to hit ctrl-h | 14:38 |
| GG111 | that sounds like your other card ? | 14:38 |
| rollitup | yes | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: if you run the command I gave, it will make a URL if you select to upload to the server, what is the URL | 14:39 |
| bouma | theadmin: thanks, but im using a console yes, it must be self created. im looking into the xdg-* | 14:39 |
| Fat-Thing | what is this getty!? i don't remember installing it but it seems i got lots of `em running :( weird | 14:39 |
| rollitup | M-audio chipset as lot of forum posts read is ICE1712 | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | palmpilot: if you make an xorg.conf file, it will be obeyed | 14:39 |
| theadmin | Fat-Thing: Uhm... getty is the TTY login management utility, it always runs, it comes preinstalled. That's normal, worry not. | 14:39 |
| GG111 | rollitup: that's too odd, looks like your very well fine driver wyse. | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Fat-Thing: I have 6 here | 14:40 |
| bouma | theadmin: i could probably use nautilus right click if it was just torrents i wanted to change the association of, but i want magnet urls too | 14:40 |
| GG111 | can you open the graphycal volume settigns ? | 14:40 |
| wwd | So guys, is there a way of insuring that every time i reboot that any given hard disk is assigned the same /dev/sdX. I am making a 15 disk array and using mdadm and would like to know which physical drive is /dev/sdX when a failure happens so I can remove the exact disk and not have to figure out which is which. Thanks. | 14:40 |
| Fat-Thing | http://paste.ubuntu.com/960088/ <---- check this out not only getty seems got apache2 too | 14:40 |
| rollitup | yes but the volume control on the panel seems disabled | 14:40 |
| wylde | !uuid | wwd | 14:40 |
| ubottu | wwd: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 14:40 |
| palmpilot | ActionParsnip: "X -configure" and all this $foo? | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: any chance of running my command..... | 14:40 |
| rollitup | as it the icon shows but no level | 14:40 |
| GG111 | rollitup: OK, so we do have a driver problem. | 14:41 |
| Night_Elf | wwd: check what you have from: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/* | 14:41 |
| JohnjustJohn | sounds like a sound | 14:41 |
| wylde | wwd: use uuid's in your /etc/fstab and every device will get mounted properly after every reboot. | 14:41 |
| LHammonds | I am writing a Bash script to increment space for a file system automatically whenever a threshold is reached. I am having difficulty figuring out how to translate a file system "path" between the various utilities which take different parameters. | 14:41 |
| GG111 | I'm PMing you rollitup | 14:41 |
| wwd | okay, so i can statically set device to a a particular /dev/sdx by using unique uuids using /etc/fstab.. | 14:42 |
| wylde | LHammonds: that may be a better question for #bash | 14:42 |
| bouma | theadmin: also, in ub1204 tab no longer switches pages in unity? is there a different kbdshort cut | 14:42 |
| LHammonds | For example, /dev/LVG/opt is required for one utility, /dev/mapper/LVG-opt is required for a different one. | 14:42 |

| Aditya|AutoSpace | Hello, i have a problem, Recently I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on VirtualBox. I changed setting and set "auto-hide" for launcher but it's not working | 14:47 |
| cjs226 | due to a sw dependency I'm wanting to install openjdk-6-jre 6b18-1.8.8~pre1-0ubuntu1 from the command line, but can't figure out how.

| theadmin | Infinite8: I'm talking mainline here though, not sure, Ubuntu may have patched it to use Compiz or something. | 14:56 |
| greenit | sometimes when i boot, i log in to my user, but ubuntu takes me immediately back to the login screen... when i enter my password again, it takes me to my desktop, as it should... can any1 tell me how i can get rid of logging in twice? | 14:56 |
| Scarra3 | should I just the regular fglrx driver in additional drivers or the post one? | 14:57 |
| Infinite8 | theadmin: Yea, guess Gnome3 is pretty new and needs some wrk done. | 14:57 |
| jhutchins_wk | How do I get the actuall release name/number? | 14:57 |
| greenit | jhutchins_wk, from what? | 14:57 |
| jhutchins_wk | recent ubuntu release? | 14:58 |
| urthmover | how do I boot into recovery mode? | 14:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | greenit: Installed. | 14:58 |
| Pici | jhutchins_wk: lsb_release -a | 14:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | Indeed, 12.04, thank you. | 14:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | That would be precice pangolin, no? | 14:59 |
| ggherdov | Hi all. How to know what version of a given package (gnucash) is packaged for a given version of Ubuntu (12.04) ? | 14:59 |
| ggherdov | jhutchins_wk: yep | 14:59 |
| greenit | jhutchins_wk, yea, ubuntu 12.04 "precise pangolin" | 14:59 |
| jhutchins_wk | So if I launch a new gnome terminal, it's fine, but the text in the window title bar is all messed up. Can't tell if it's just wierd characters - e and x are transposed - or if there's pixel shift as well. | 15:00 |
| case_ | hi there, i'm planing to install ubuntu 12.04 as a single boot on a Macbook Air, and i'm quite scary to brick it... I'll need handholding :) | 15:00 |
| jhutchins_wk | I was having problems with the desktop image getting all pixel-scrambled, but that doesn't seem to be happening since the upgrade. | 15:00 |
| Logan_ | case_: Physical contact is outside the scope of this channel. | 15:00 |
| case_ | Logan_, virtual handholding then :) | 15:01 |
| Scarra3 | ? | 15:01 |
| davey_ | anybody play runescape and is java pro? i cant get it to load up | 15:01 |
| alankila | I've heard rumors arguing that linux should not be installed on os x hardware because voltages and fans are not adjusted correctly. | 15:01 |
| davey_ | cant get runescape to play in linux keeps crashing:( | 15:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | case_: Pretty hard to brick an apple. You can always recover with their system disk. | 15:01 |
| greenit | davey_, which java do u have installed? | 15:02 |
| case_ | jhutchins_wk, it's a macbook air and i've no usb disk drive so i feel quite naked in the cold if I broke the boot... | 15:02 |
| urthmover | recovery mode Does it exist in 12.04? | 15:03 |
| autif | I have a USB-serial dongle (067b:2303) - it used to work fine in Natty/Oneiric as a user, however, in Precise, I need to sudo to send/receive data from it - how do I fix this? | 15:03 |
| davey_ | greenit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/960137/ | 15:03 |
| pyboy | urthmover: yes | 15:03 |
| Logan_ | urthmover: Yes, it does. | 15:03 |
| urthmover | pyboy: Logan_ how do I access it? | 15:03 |
| Logan_ | urthmover: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 15:04 |
| urthmover | thx for responding btw | 15:04 |
| alankila | case_: if it runs os x lion, the efi should support internet recovery even if the harddisk had no OS... | 15:04 |
| urthmover | genius thanks Logan_ | 15:04 |
| greenit | davey_, hm... ok, what is the error-msg from runescape | 15:04 |
| Logan_ | urthmover: No problem. | 15:04 |
| escott | !info gnucash | ggherdov | 15:04 |
| ubottu | ggherdov: gnucash (source: gnucash): personal and small-business financial-accounting software. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:2.4.10-1 (precise), package size 1893 kB, installed size 6164 kB | 15:04 |
| pyboy | urthmover: i thin you prees tab on startup | 15:04 |
| case_ | alankila, thanks for the tips but it doesn't, it's an old Air... | 15:04 |
| davey_ | greenit: just doesnt load up in browser keeps crashing | 15:04 |
| shadowspell | hey, how i can run terminal as root ? su and my pass gives authentication failed | 15:04 |
| ggherdov | escott: thanks a lot | 15:04 |
| davey_ | and how do i highlight name like you are doing lol | 15:04 |
| wylde | !tab | davey_ | 15:05 |
| ubottu | davey_: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 15:05 |
| Logan_ | pyboy: I believe it's the Shift key. | 15:05 |
| pyboy | Logan_: sorry | 15:05 |
| LinuxMonkey | shadowspell: you should not run it as root, try sudo command | 15:05 |
| wylde | davey_: just include the persons nick that you are replying to, and it will highlight for them. | 15:05 |
| jpds | shadowspell: sudo -s | 15:05 |
| Logan_ | pyboy: (According to that page, at least.) I just have the grub menu automatically launch on boot. | 15:05 |
| greenit | davey_, hah, doesn't start by me either... you can try to install the sun-java to get it running^^ | 15:06 |
| wylde | davey_: you can type a part of their name then hit tab so you don't have to type the whol;e thing. | 15:06 |
| jhutchins_wk | case_: So get yourself the tools you need. | 15:06 |
| ggherdov | I am running Natty, i.e. 11.04. I'd like to upgrade to Precise (12.04). From https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades looks like I need 11.10 as an intermediate step. What is the exact procedure? apt-get something? | 15:06 |
| davey_ | greenit, what is best way to install sun-java i have been goooogling all morning lol | 15:07 |
| grylos | aloha | 15:07 |
| grylos | aloha guys | 15:07 |
| Logan_ | ggherdov: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OneiricUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Desktops_.28Recommended.29 | 15:07 |
| grylos | have u tested 12.04? | 15:07 |
| ggherdov | Logan_: thanks | 15:08 |
| Logan_ | ggherdov: And then follow the same steps to upgrade to 11.10. | 15:08 |
| greenit | davey_, probably this helps you: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2012/01/sun-java-6-now-can-be-installed-on.html | 15:08 |
| omido | ggherdov: This is what i did : i used ubuntu 12.04 live cd to upgrade my 11.04 installition and it just went fine | 15:08 |
| Logan_ | grylos: Yes. This is the support channel for Ubuntu, and 12.04 is the current stable version. | 15:09 |
| ggherdov | omido: I see. But I have to download the ISO image then. I will try with the proc suggested by Logan_ | 15:09 |
| davey_ | greenit, hmm ill try that do i have to uninstall the java i have installed now? | 15:09 |
| jhutchins_wk | If there's a font setting that will fix these displays I can't find it, because the text in system settings is screwed up. | 15:09 |
| omido | ggherdov: what Logan_ said is better but having the live cd may come in handy sometimes. | 15:09 |
| greenit | davey_, nope, you can change the native java-version in the commandline | 15:10 |
| b0ot | Anyone know how I can get vlc version 1.1.1 (that specific version... no newer) on ubuntu 10.04 | 15:10 |
| omido | you can use it to install/upgrade ubuntu on other machines or use it in case your sistem get problematic. | 15:10 |
| b0ot | ? | 15:10 |
| x43L0Pr7 | Misha Fag. | 15:10 |
| omido | b0ot: from software center .or download the .deb package from official vlc website | 15:10 |
| davey_ | greenit, hmm not sure how to do that lol ima linux noobie | 15:11 |
| b0ot | omido: how do you install a .deb file? | 15:11 |
| mneptok | b0ot: use the repos, not a download. | 15:11 |
| pungi-man_ | b0ot, sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 15:11 |
| davey_ | windows are jerks due to my hdd crashing and gateway being oem not supporting | 15:11 |
| greenit | davey_, here is the ubuntu-help page for java ;) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 15:11 |
| omido | b0ot: not sure but i think you can just click on it. or you can use terminal to install sudo dpkg filename.deb | 15:11 |
| pyboy | b0ot: or you could just click on it | 15:12 |
| mneptok | b0ot: do not download .deb files unless you have absolutely no other choice. | 15:12 |
| Logan_ | b0ot: Why do you need that version of VLC specifically? | 15:12 |
| jhutchins_wk | Well, the system is unusable like this. Not sure where to go from here. Possibly a different distro. | 15:12 |
| davey_ | greenit, that is the site i used to download my current java but keeps crashing in browser | 15:12 |

| Logan_ | b0ot: But the version of VLC in Lucid is 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.8. | 15:13 |

| Plouj | hi | 15:17 |
| gislikarl | can someone help me? YouTube videos always play with negative colors when using Flash. | 15:17 |
| Plouj | I have a lucid machine and I have LTS updates enabled, but I still don't see an option to upgrade to precise in the update manager, what gives? | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Logan_: there is a PPA or two | 15:17 |
| alankila | gislikarl: first order help: try enabling html5 playback | 15:17 |
| gislikarl | I already have but not all videos can use HTML5 | 15:18 |
| Logan_ | ActionParsnip: Yes, but he was looking for an older version of VLC (back to 1.1.1) so that it would work with an Android app. I pointed out that the one in the repository is already older than that. | 15:18 |
| greenit | alankila, where can i enable the html5-playback is this an option in firefox? | 15:18 |
| positronus | Does anybody know how to set alert in XChat to notify me when someone mentions (talks to me) on channel? In Alerts settings there is 'Channel Message', but that seems to alert on all activity in all channels. | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Logan_: I have a PPA for 1.1.13 | 15:18 |
| Logan_ | ActionParsnip: I don't believe he had tried it out yet. Just acting on advice from reviews of the app. | 15:18 |
| alankila | greenit: it's a web site feature. I don't remember the url to go to at youtube to turn it on | 15:19 |
| Logan_ | positronus: "Highlighted Message" is the one you want. | 15:19 |
| Oprtz | no one is answering my question :( | 15:19 |
| gislikarl | youtube.com/html | 15:19 |
| gislikarl | youtube.com/html5 | 15:19 |
| greenit | alankila, ah, k | 15:19 |
| greenit | gislikarl, thx | 15:19 |
| Logan_ | !please | Oprtz | 15:19 |
| ubottu | Oprtz: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 15:19 |
| gislikarl | np | 15:19 |
| Oprtz | okie | 15:20 |
| davey_ | greenit, hmm ill try that in a minute but im afk a sec btw do u play runescape? | 15:20 |
| K4k | Hi, I'm trying to setup lightdm so that the only login option is to type in the username and password. I've got it right now so that it presents that prompt as an option but it's not the only option. How can I disable the display of any previous or local users at the login prompt? | 15:20 |
| alankila | Oprtz: try check if kernel messages appear in dmesg when disconnection happens. Try disable wpa or wpa2 if you use it, see if that helps | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: disable n speed for the interface, can help | 15:20 |

| Oprtz | alankila: i tried to search on google but failed | 15:21 |

| pyboy | jsebean: no problem | 15:38 |
| jsebean | pyboy: Already newest version | 15:38 |

| Kruptein | so does anyone know how to get your unity greeter to have the same background as your account? | 15:38 |
| ThinkT510 | !chroot | limitgb | 15:38 |
| ubottu | limitgb: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 15:38 |

| helo1 | I have an issue with my display on Ubuntu 10.04 laptop. It randomly extends the desktop as if there is an external monitor, causing things to render off screen until I manually set it back to the laptop display only. This also causes my gnome applets to get all messy since it changes my laptop display resolution sometimes (not always). How can I stop this from happening? It may be related to another issue which is that I have issues set | 16:22 |
| ANub | this did not happen until 11.10 | 16:22 |

| touil | And once in a while, my desktop doesn't respond any more. | 16:36 |
| naj42181 | sary: i just did the update manager and that didn't fix the problem, ive tried manually installing the drivers and that didn't work | 16:36 |
| james296 | I removed the floppy from VMware Fusion, but the Floppy area is still visible within Ubuntu 12.04 | 16:36 |
| samster34 | apart from this issue, I also seem to have a video driver issue, without nomodeset I don't even get to the purple screen before it freezes | 16:37 |
| james296 | it just annoys me that its there | 16:37 |
| touil | I mean, sometimes, I can see the mouse moving on the screen, but whenever I click somewhere, nothing happens | 16:37 |
| sary | naj42181: which driver is it . | 16:37 |
| naj42181 | sary: and i'm not advanced enough to know how to turn off the power management | 16:37 |
| touil | so I lose completly the control of ubuntu. | 16:37 |
| naj42181 | sary: intel wimax 6250, but i don't need the wimax part to work, just the wireless N | 16:37 |

| numberto | ActionParsnip: I don't want to disble hud, I want to remap it. I am ok with right alt key showing hud, but left one is a trouble when I play games | 16:42 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: No, I mean that the games' menu bar, through which, for instance, I could set the starting level in quadrapassel or the skill of the computer player in lagno or the size of the board in tetravex, is missing. No file menu, nothing. Just a simple bar with New, Pause, and Full Screen buttons. | 16:43 |

| samster34 | ActionParsnip: I can't install | 17:02 |
| samster34 | ActionParsnip: this is what happens when I try to live boot or install | 17:02 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest5101: try the SATA-IDE option in BIOS | 17:07 |
| trism | Bronze: the upstart way described above only works if the service has a .conf file in /etc/init, which I don't see in the ntop package, only a script in /etc/init.d/ | 17:07 |
| samster34 | ActionParsnip: also, it has an nforce chipset | 17:07 |
| L3top | Guest5101: if you cant boot to a CD with sata enabled then you have a hardware problem. | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: what model Fujitsu-Siemens ? | 17:08 |
| L3top | ActionParsnip: he had been running the install fine after several reboots | 17:08 |

| krfkeith | my regular network is under interface wlan0, and used the 192.168.1.x subnet, I want the PXE "network" to use the 192.168.10.x subnet, what should I put under "gateway" in the interfaces file? | 17:20 |

| wylde | krfkeith: then gateway = the ip of your machine/router tha provides net access. | 17:22 |
| L3top | stripe what OS are you on currently? | 17:22 |
| vector | elspuddy: scp <source> <destination> (if you're copying an entire directory you'll want to use the -r "recursive" option) both source and destination can be either a local file/directory or a remote file/directory in the form you mentioned "user@host:/path/to/some/file/or/dir" | 17:22 |
| krfkeith | wylde, ah okay | 17:22 |
| vector | elspuddy: example... copy directory /home/user to /tmp on a remote host: "scp -r /home/user username@host:/tmp/" | 17:23 |
| stripe | L3top lmde | 17:23 |
| wylde | krfkeith: I use LTSP to boot 2 machines on my network :) it's a handy way to make good use of old hardware :) | 17:23 |
| elspuddy | vector, ad i do that from the server (want to copy to) box ? | 17:23 |
| L3top | so that is linux, can you please give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA stripe, or am I missing something? | 17:23 |
| Fat-Thing | hmmm can i copy the irc script from the normal mIRC to XChat? get tired typing /join #channel not like the mIRC /j <channel> is it possible? | 17:24 |
| vector | elspuddy: you just swap the order... so you're on a server and want to copy /home/user from another machine to local /tmp you would do "scp -r user@otherhost:/home/user /tmp/" | 17:24 |

| vector | elspuddy: np. haha good plan. | 17:28 |
| APoulos | ok, tl;dr - is it a good idea to backup the .gconf folder? | 17:29 |
| L3top | Nice card stripe... You will want to install the proprietary driver is my guess. This can be achieved in terminal with sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 17:29 |
| APoulos | for restoration when you reinstall ubuntu from a bad screw up | 17:29 |

I see that using uuid's and fstab I can make a device autmount to a particular place on the filesystem, but the devices I am using won't be mounted, they will be part of a raid-5 mdadm array. I simply want one physical disk to always be /dev/sdx so when it fails I know which one it is so i can quickly replace it. Perhaps I am miss | 17:31 |

| madsj | also, I was an idiot and deleting /var/lib/dpkg/info/emacs* and would highly appreciate getting back those files | 17:40 |
| L3top | ahh...yes that would be an important detail mado... what is the error? | 17:40 |
| wylde | if I wanted to make a script to backup my entire configuration. (just configs NOT all the actual packages) which directories would be critical to backup? /etc and ... some in /var ? | 17:40 |
| Guest5101 | L3top: Oh but wait...If I can't boot from the usb then it makes no sense to install it on the IDE drive. As long as the Ubuntu has to deal with the SATA controller it won't finish booting from any device, be it a CD, USB, IDE HDD...etc... | 17:40 |
| madsj | can someone make a zip file with them? I suppose they're independent of the installation, as long as ubuntu 12.04 is installed | 17:41 |
| mado | L3top, ... well please bear with me ... i'm a a bit stressed :D ... | 17:41 |
| stripe | L3top pciids ran but made no difference will try nvidia-xconfigure | 17:41 |
| madsj | (installation, setup as well the other packages) | 17:41 |
| mado | L3top, it says "Gewünschtes Zwischenablage-Format steht nicht zur Verfügung" ... "Zwischenablage = clipboard or something as far as i know" | 17:41 |

| Bronze | trism - found it , apparently ntop is not in the upstart system, so you rename the file S20ntop (under rc2.d) to K20ntop and run an update script: update-rc.d ntop defaults which spits out an error messages. to re-enable you change the name back and run the same script., See "README" in /etc/rc2.d (and other places I bet). its essentally a manual work around for system services <cough> I means 'jobs' that are not setup to b under upstart yet. | 17:59 |

| L3tops | smcrossman: there is no root password. I am happy to help you fix this, but my opinion on how is not likely to change. | 18:08 |
| _joseph | I've been trying to install nvidia drivers for the last week now and can't get any help other then google. so yeah i probably messed them up | 18:08 |
| smcrossman | no its getting a superblock wrong fs or something | 18:08 |
| L3tops | That is a different issue which will also require booting to live cd smcrossman. | 18:08 |
| _joseph | Let me try some things and I'll be right back | 18:09 |
| smcrossman | I think what caused it was that I forgot that I was still copying my network drive over to my home and it might have been copying a windows .iso when i shut down | 18:09 |
| samster34 | AhhhHA! the "noapic" boot option worked! finally! video driver works too! YES | 18:09 |
| samster34 | ..so how do I make this permanent, so it works even after I install ubuntu? | 18:10 |
| Eidel | Does anyone know how to configure libnotify? Preferably through a GUI | 18:10 |
| L3tops | That shouldn't the problem you are having smcrossman. | 18:10 |

| brontosaurusrex | is there a nepomuk for gnome? | 18:10 |
| smcrossman | L3tops: okay....I have the live cd and can do that | 18:10 |
| smcrossman | That's how I know the /home is still there and at least the directory | 18:10 |
| samster34 | quick question, does ubuntu 12.04 support plug and play of SATA II drives? | 18:11 |
| smcrossman | L3Tops: Once I boot with the live cd do I choose install or trial | 18:11 |
| L3tops | smcrossman: / is your root directory /home contains user specific directories... and... some other stuff | 18:11 |

| smcrossman | L3tops: Yes....last install I placed /home on a separate partiton | 18:11 |

| ActionParsnip | kpel: yes, that is fully supported | 18:11 |

| smcrossman | I can go into current install now with NEW admin user (just created) or on guest | 18:12 |
| whoever | can i upgrade to ubuntu 12.05 64 without burning the iso and rebooting | 18:12 |
| kpel | ActionParsnip: thanks. For some reason the software update tool doesn't detect a new release, if I set it to notify me for LTS releases only. Any ideas? | 18:12 |
| L3tops | I would address the fs superblock error stuff first smcrossman | 18:12 |
| smcrossman | L3tops: I don't do anything with /root....I'm dumb but not that dumb! | 18:12 |
| lorenzo | ActionParsnip, no, if i try to connect my host to my router machine the connection wont be established, looks like it times out. Not even connecting the two machines with ethernet. Makes me think the DCHP file is not configured properly but I am lost. | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kpel: run: sudo do-release-upgrade | 18:13 |
| L3tops | Let me know when live is up smcrossman. I was simply saying that what you are describing does not indicate that a /home directory exists, though I dont know why it wouldn't... | 18:13 |

| smcrossman | okay...I'll do that and I will get set up and come back or maybe I'll get this set up on the netbook whatever.....I will be back.... | 18:15 |

| iceroot | samster34: rdesktop or an freenx client (see link from ubottu ) | 18:22 |
| iksik_ | is it possible to change this desktop switcher from square to line? (12.04/unity) | 18:23 |

| Escherial | ok, so i feel a little trapped on WUBI...i incorrectly chose too small of a partition and now i'm not sure what to do | 18:24 |
| Escherial | should i go back into windows to resize my ubuntu partition? | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Monotoko: you'll need to use the route command to force all traffic through that | 18:24 |

| iceroot | ActionParsnip: he is using wubi | 18:25 |
| Monotoko | ActionParsnip, I don't know... he said WUBI | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: gah | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | i hate wubi | 18:25 |
| Fyodorovna | Escherial, might you consider dual booting with partitions, wubi is a try out setup, god news is that you can convert that wubi to a partition install and resize all you want. | 18:25 |

| smcrossman | L3tops et al: I'm back and have the desktop booted into the live CD | 18:27 |
| geekbri | whats the difference between /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog on an ubuntu system? | 18:27 |
| Escherial | Fyodorovna: right, i'd like that, if it's fairly easy | 18:27 |
| L3tops | smcrossman: are you on that machine in here, or a different one? | 18:27 |
| iksik_ | it's a square... unity got it to by default to switch desktops - but unity 2D, has got 'a line', and i want something like that, to switch them from left to right - not left/right/up/down | 18:28 |
| toastedpenguin | iceroot: ^^ incase you missed it | 18:28 |
| Fyodorovna | iksik_, the unity desktop is in square setting not sure you can get a straight line anyway in that setting you have a up and down and side to side to have all 4 virtuals | 18:28 |
| iksik_ | Fyodorovna: correct | 18:28 |
| K4k | I have some files showing up with permissions as ????????? owner ? group ? How can I correct this, chmod gets Input/output error and find . -name file -exec chmod 755 {} \; gets the same error. | 18:28 |

| james296 | well that didnt work, now what? | 18:29 |
| L3tops | Ok... please open a terminal in live boot and sudo apt-get install pastebinit smcrossman | 18:29 |

| HoNgOuRu | can't find the name of the desklet or program that shows system load (memory usage cpu etc...) it is just text updating over the desktop wallpaper....does anybody knows??? gparted live distro uses it.... | 18:29 |

| patch | hey having some problem when updating (apt-get update) . It output "404 not found". Perhaps something wrong with my sources.list ? | 18:31 |
| Fyodorovna | Escherial, you can't create a partition for ubuntu in windows, but if you have W7 it has a virtual partitioner for resize the while using the OS. | 18:31 |
| Escherial | Fyodorovna: ah, neat :) | 18:31 |
| Escherial | well, i wish i could spend the day doing this, but i unfortunately have to get some actual work done :| i'll probably be back to ask questions later, though :) | 18:32 |
| Escherial | thanks for the advice so far | 18:32 |

| roscar | I have a weird problem that has been around for a while. When the update gui pops up with a list of upgrades, I install them it doesn't seem to finish? The gui will say "1 update has been selected. 2.7MB will be downloaded" but there is no update displayed and when I click "Install Upgrades" the gui refreshes and nothing changes. Any ideas on how I could investigate this issue? | 18:35 |
| L3tops | ok smcrossman in terminal: sudo umount -f /dev/sda6 just to be safe... will probably tell you not mounted. | 18:35 |
| beefman | is it possible to configure resolv.conf to use one server for only lookups on a certain domain, and another for all else? will listing the specific one last handle that? | 18:36 |
| UnwinnableDonB | Stayed there for two hours, and is stuck there again. Thoughts? | 18:36 |

| gr33n7007h | What is the file you edit for grub splash screen in 10.04? | 18:37 |

| NotLarry | acer aspire one AO751h, 12.04 install, boots to a half screen | 18:38 |
| Fyodorovna | whoever, open the source.list and comment out any 3rd partities like ppa's opera etc run a update then try again. the command to the source list is sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list You might also have 3rd parties in software sources.list.d as well the may show in the software sources gui and can be ticked off. | 18:38 |
| NotLarry | anyone know a fix? | 18:38 |
| malkauns | NotLarry, LOL @ http://i.imgur.com/wf2fq.jpg | 18:38 |
| toastedpenguin | iceroot: that worked, thx | 18:38 |

| Escherial | cakenewbieee: well, the package manager is aptitutde; you can install most packages via sudo apt-get install packagename | 18:42 |
| Escherial | er, but wait, you're talking about php...first off, check if you have the pdo_mysql extension; it comes with a lot of php distros | 18:42 |

| K4k | I have some files showing up with permissions as ????????? owner ? group ? How can I correct this, chmod gets Input/output error. | 18:43 |
| cakenewbieee | the thing that is confusing me is that i have two php.ini one using xampp | 18:43 |
| Escherial | secondly, you'll have to find your php.ini file (or whatever they use for storing php settings these days) and uncomment the line that mentions it | 18:43 |
| ZenMaster | Ok, anyone here available? | 18:43 |
| cakenewbieee | php --ini gives me this:/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/pdo.ini | 18:43 |

| K4k | L3tops: chown: cannot access 'filename': Input/output error | 18:45 |
| L3tops | K4k: where filename is the name of the file | 18:46 |
| Escherial | cakenewbieee: you may be better off asking in a php channel about this, as it may be cakephp-speciifc | 18:46 |
| Escherial | *specific, even | 18:46 |
| K4k | L3tops: correct | 18:46 |

| aeon-ltd | biggestMASTEReve: there were big changes from 10.xx to 12.xx | 19:08 |

| escott | !nounity | biggestMASTEReve | 19:09 |
| ubottu | biggestMASTEReve: 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 | 19:09 |

| aeon-ltd | Joshun: i remember openoffice was able to do this, since libreoffice is a spawn of open i believe it should. try searching the preferences for these kind of options | 19:09 |

| gameid | kathy: you have to upgrade on step at a time. 10.4 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 | 19:13 |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: but next time just jump to the question, you'll get more responses that way | 19:13 |
| pyboy | ubottu: ok | 19:14 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 19:14 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: i installed openbox but i'm not able to run it. if i start it with gdm it seems it has problems with the keyring not loaded, with startx it does not run at all! what do i have to do to run it? thanks. | 19:14 |
| iceroot | kathy: gameid you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 directly because both are lts | 19:14 |
| biggestMASTEReve | pyboy how old are you | 19:14 |
| gameid | ah, learned something new then | 19:14 |
| Pici | kathy, gameid, iceroot:10.04 will not offer to upgrade to 12.04 until 12.04.1 is released. | 19:14 |
| escott | kathy, given the substantial nature of the changes i would recommend trying a livecd first and then if you do decide to upgrade you might elect to reinstall | 19:14 |
| iceroot | kathy: you have to tell the update-manager "only look for lts" or something like that | 19:14 |
| biggestMASTEReve | pyboy it looks like you are under 18 | 19:14 |
| iceroot | Pici: why? | 19:14 |
| Fat-Thing | mixmeister <---does anyone knows about mixmeister? i need an equivalent app for ubuntu anyone? | 19:15 |
| powersurge | anyone have any experience with vnc to macs from ubuntu? | 19:15 |
| Joshun | i'll file a bug | 19:15 |
| biggestMASTEReve | Pici is RIGHT | 19:15 |
| wolter | Can I install the kernel used in Oneiric in Precise? | 19:15 |
| iceroot | wolter: yes but why? | 19:15 |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: nothing, usually you can execute a session without anything else loading but X and openbox | 19:15 |
| biggestMASTEReve | Pici Ubuntu 10.04 update to 12.04 only works when 12.04.01 is out!!! | 19:15 |
| Pici | biggestMASTEReve: Yes, I just said that. | 19:15 |
| joentjuh | After upgrading to 12.04, aptitude started listing both the amd64 packages and the i386 packages (very annoying, apt-cache search lists are now twice as long)... Anyone know where I can disable this? | 19:15 |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: if you post the specific error message form keyring here, some others may be able to help | 19:15 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: do you use gdm to start it? | 19:16 |
| phibxr | [12.04] Is there any way to browse the reviews you have written in the Ubuntu Software Center? | 19:16 |
| escott | wolter, mixing packages from different versions is not supported | 19:16 |
| wolter | iceroot, I am having problems with my wireless connection which I didn't have before the upgrade, I'm just trying to see how to fix it | 19:16 |
| Pici | iceroot: Becacuse we don't want for 10.04 users to break their installs, its still possible that there are lingering LTS to LTS upgrade bugs out there. | 19:16 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, I don't do PM the channel has a better chance of success, so the sdb1 is the new install and you want to heve it control grub is this correct? | 19:16 |
| mtracey | Got a question about sftp and umasks. I'm using the new ubuntu 12.04 server, updated my /etc/ssh/sshd_config sftp-server line to include -u 0002 at the end, no luck after restarting ssh. Still get the same old umask. Any ideas? | 19:16 |
| nsahoo | I am planning to move the /var/lib to a new file system. What all services I need to stop? or, is this best done from a install disk? | 19:16 |
| LjL | biggestMASTEReve: someone's age is irrelevant here, and pyboy was right, this channel is not really for opinions and you should also avoid foul language here | 19:16 |
| wolter | escott, so does that mean I cannot use the previous kernel? Are packages directly linked to the kernel? | 19:16 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: i got no error, but noting works and i suspect is the keyring that disables some access... | 19:16 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, yes | 19:16 |
| wolter | See, since I asked the question, my connection had been lost and reestablished thrice already | 19:16 |
| pyboy | LjL: thank you | 19:17 |
| iceroot | Pici: so 10.04 - 12.04 was never tested? and now its tested and bugs are worked on which will result in 12.04.1? | 19:17 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, have you set that HD first to be read in the bios? | 19:17 |
| escott | wolter, it means its not supported. you can do it, but its not encouraged, and you void your warranty ;) | 19:17 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: do you start openbox with startx or through gdm? | 19:17 |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: i didn't use gdm, only a .xinitrc with the line 'exec openbox-session' | 19:17 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, yes | 19:17 |
| biggestMASTEReve | pyboy i get your adresse and phone number and your age. i will contact your parents | 19:17 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: i also did it, but then nothing appears... | 19:17 |
| Pici | iceroot: I didn't say that it wasn't tested. There are just so many permutations of installs that there might be some problems that the developers didn't forsee. | 19:18 |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: then do you have to go to a VT to kill X? | 19:18 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: if i start it through gdm it appears but i don't have access to eth0 for example... | 19:18 |
| kathy | iceroot: escott This small laptop has no CD. I suppose I can download 12.04 alternative and create a USB install media, but .... *I should be able to just do it over the internet. Right? | 19:18 |
| escott | kathy, with older hardware i would be worried that the graphics card may not be good enough for a decent 12.04 experience, especially if you have something more "netbook-esque" | 19:19 |
| kathy | iceroot: and, yes, update-manager is set for LTS only. | 19:19 |
| iceroot | Pici: hm, ok. bad quality testing in my opionion then but because we only have less then 6 months for a release, i think its ok | 19:19 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: do i have to kill X with "sudo service gdm stop" or something else? | 19:19 |
| Pici | iceroot: Its not bad testing. Its being careful. | 19:19 |
| kathy | escott: I suppose that is possible. | 19:19 |
| escott | ouser, lightdm replaced gdm in 11.10 | 19:19 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, cool the install probably put itself in sda so if the sda disc was first you would boot. So you need to reload grub from the live cd to the sdb mbr and have that HD still first and it should boot to that ubuntu. here is the link for loading grub. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 19:19 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: i'm on 11.04 | 19:20 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: do i have to kill X with "sudo service gdm stop" or something else? | 19:20 |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: yeah, i'm not sure why you don't have access to eth0 though. If you have time log in as a admin and then launch openbox and see if you have access | 19:20 |
| Pici | kathy: you can still upgrade over the internet if you use "do-release-upgrade -d" or "update-manager -d" if you are running 10.04. | 19:20 |
| iceroot | Pici: why not be careful and use 12.04.2 for that instead of .1. | 19:20 |
| escott | ouser, that will kill x | 19:20 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: if os i laready tried it | 19:20 |
| Pici | iceroot: Because thats what they decided. | 19:20 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, hope that makes sense. | 19:20 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, thanks. I'll try that and get back to you with the result :) | 19:20 |
| iceroot | Pici: and we have to respect that.. | 19:20 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, cool | 19:21 |
| iceroot | Pici: thank you for the usefull info about 12.04.1 | 19:21 |
| Pici | iceroot: no problem. | 19:21 |
| kathy | Here is my hardware: http://pastebin.com/VGQJGrTj | 19:21 |
| joentjuh | After upgrading to 12.04, aptitude started listing both the amd64 packages and the i386 packages (very annoying, apt-cache search lists are now twice as long)... Anyone know where I can disable this? | 19:21 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: it seems like gdm and gnome are "dominating" and openbox id blocked by the gnome-keyring not called... it seems :) | 19:21 |
| maheanuu | Could someone tell me what I need to do to get Ubuntu to recognise my cd/dvd drive, manager is showing the drive but I cannot mount it or read anything with it, or burn using it??? | 19:21 |
| kathy | Pici: Do you think my hardware will support 12.04? | 19:22 |
| deebee396 | =( noone answered my question, surely it cant be that hard to change the default bootloader? | 19:22 |
| Pici | joentjuh: Don't use aptitude. Its a known problem and part of the reason why we don't ship aptitude by default. | 19:22 |
| kathy | Pici: http://pastebin.com/VGQJGrTj | 19:22 |
| escott | joentjuh, its called multiarch aptitude isn't getting much love from ubuntu (as they favor software center) and multiarch hasn't been released to debian proper yet so you probably have to live with it | 19:22 |
| Asido | 19:22 | |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: if you really want to be sure, go to a VT then open up top or htop and kill all gdm and X related processes | 19:22 |
| Pici | kathy:You *shouldn't* have any problems. | 19:23 |
| escott | deebee396, what was your question | 19:23 |
| deebee396 | how to change from windows bootloader to grub | 19:23 |
| trirnoth | escott or anyone familiar with setting up raid on an existing ubuntu install .... When creating the array, I am getting: "mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata Segmentation fault (core dumped)" .... I there are issues under redhat, but nothing stated for ubuntu .... | 19:23 |
| deebee396 | *default | 19:23 |
| ouser | then, with "exec openbox-session" in my ./xinitrc i'll do a "startx"? | 19:23 |
| escott | !grub | deebee396 | 19:23 |
| ubottu | deebee396: 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) | 19:23 |
| iksik_ | hmm, any ideas why my skype window, and skype chat windows are all black? black background instead of white o.O | 19:23 |
| joentjuh | escott: so no simple option somewhere? (I don't use software-center or any other similar gui managers) | 19:23 |
| deebee396 | thank you | 19:23 |
| mtracey | Added the -u for umask in my /etc/ssh/sshd_conf file (looks like this now: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server -u 0002 ) but still getting no group write perms when sftp'ing (via gui client or command line sftp from another server). Any ideas? 12.04 ubuntu server. | 19:23 |
| escott | trirnoth, what was your exact command | 19:24 |
| escott | joentjuh, you might be able to specify some kind of wildcard to say package*amd64 | 19:24 |
| deebee396 | well ima go re-install ubuntu now thx for the help | 19:24 |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: yeah, or if you want to emulate an absolutely blank install, hunt down the openbox configs and delete them and let them generate themselves again | 19:24 |
| escott | deebee396, shouldn't need a reinstall. just follow the "lost grub" instructions | 19:25 |
| trirnoth | mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/sdb2 .... I see one can specify a metadata, but if I understand this correctly this is to point to a grub 1 version. | 19:25 |
| deebee396 | oh no its not for that, my power cut out when updgrading to ubuntu 12 | 19:25 |
| kathy | Pici: Thanks for the advice | 19:25 |
| deebee396 | *upgrading | 19:25 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, in step 5. my 'normal' | 19:25 |
| Fyodorovna | deebee396, this is 3 methods to load grub to the mbr the chroot the 3rd is probably your best bet. Make sure you have a windows recovery or install disc to reload the windows bootloader if needed. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 | 19:25 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, system is that sdb? | 19:25 |
| HJE841 | partition | 19:25 |
| joentjuh | escott: Well, ignoring is always an option, but I'm mostly wondering why the sudden change in behaviour, and why apt starting updating for multiple arches | 19:26 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, sdb1 | 19:26 |
| escott | trirnoth, huh? what does this have to do with grub? the command looks ok, but its seg faulting on you? | 19:26 |
| trirnoth | Crap. Sorry. I shoudln't have started this late in the day. I need to read better. | 19:26 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, thanks | 19:26 |
| trirnoth | It was, because I was pointing to the wrong partition (right disk though) | 19:26 |
| escott | joentjuh, the project is called multiarch it was released to ubuntu in 11.10. i think its still waiting in debian testing | 19:27 |
| trirnoth | sorry. I'll do better. | 19:27 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, if you see sdXX the firs X is the HD the second the partition if you just see sdX it is just the HD. :) | 19:27 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: i've just run sysv-rc-conf and, with my surprise, gdm is not set in rc2. is it normal? | 19:27 |
| wolter | escott, in any case, how can I install a previous kernel? In case I do it, I wouldn't be replacing my current kernel, just installing another one so that doesn't worry me | 19:27 |
| acca | Hi | 19:27 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, okay :) but just to be sure: if I unplug the dock with my sdb I will still boot into sda as if nothing happened? | 19:27 |
| ouser | surprise (i tried not to make gdm and all gnome-related stuff to start at boot) | 19:27 |
| wolter | iceroot, ^ | 19:27 |
| klync | is there any way for me to discover what URLs firefox has open from a terminal? | 19:27 |
| aeon-ltd | ouser: no idea, you'll need to talk to someone else with more gdm experience. | 19:28 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, you may have to reload grub in the sda as well the sdb ubuntu and the sda will both show all OS at the grub. | 19:28 |
| ouser | aeon-ltd: ok i'll try. thanks | 19:28 |
| samster34 | hmm teamviewer performance is quite poor despite gigabit ethernet | 19:28 |
| escott | wolter, i would think the best way would be to grab the individual debs you want and install them directly | 19:28 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, basically you will have grub from the ubuntu in that HD controlling the boot from that HD. | 19:29 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, okay. I'll give it a go | 19:29 |
| HJE841 | just need the live Cd load the right keyboard layout :S | 19:30 |
| smax | hi | 19:30 |
| acca | I have a question: I use pcmanfm, and I mount ntfs partition by clicking on the partition I want to mount. In my fstab I have only the os filesystem and a swap partition. Is possible mount the ntfs partition Read Only (only when I click on the related partition, non in fstab) ? | 19:30 |
| diakite | hi | 19:31 |
| smax | I'm using the cinnamon desktop environment. When I scroll throught the virtual desktops, ctrl-alt-arrow, Only one of the dual monitors is scrolls. | 19:31 |
| LukeNukem | how can i go into a mounted partition via terminal | 19:31 |
| acca | dir media | 19:31 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, cool. | 19:31 |
| skkeeper | for some reason i can't apply a gtk theme to nautilus in 12.04 : \ | 19:31 |
| skkeeper | it applies to everything else, but nautilus and the unity itself | 19:31 |
| HJE841 | LukeNukem, type 'mount' without quotes to see where it's mounted | 19:31 |
| LukeNukem | acca, i tried cd media/Radioactive Zone | 19:31 |
| escott | LukeNukem, cd /media/MOUNTPOINTHERE | 19:31 |
| acca | LukeNukem, /media/partition | 19:31 |
| LukeNukem | but it keeps saying no directory | 19:31 |
| wolter | escott, I am looking for a linux-image-...-generic package right? | 19:31 |
| escott | wolter, yes, and if you use proprietary drivers you might need to update those as well. and the initrd | 19:32 |
| samster34_ | is there anything that works like teamviewer, i.e. will let me see the unity3d desktop, and control it from windows 7, over ethernet, with better performance than teamviewer? | 19:32 |
| Dr_willis | LukeNukem, spell the name right. ;) use tab key for completion. | 19:32 |
| LukeNukem | ok | 19:32 |
| Dr_willis | LukeNukem, and Case Is Imporntant... | 19:32 |
| Dr_willis | !bash | LukeNukem | 19:32 |
| ubottu | LukeNukem: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 19:32 |
| escott | LukeNukem, Radioactive\ Zone or "Radioactive Zone" | 19:33 |
| LukeNukem | escott, the latter | 19:33 |
| escott | LukeNukem, I'm telling you what to type. you must either escape the space or quote it | 19:33 |
| LukeNukem | oh ok | 19:33 |
| escott | LukeNukem, tab completion will automagically escape spaces and special characters | 19:34 |
| LukeNukem | ok | 19:34 |
| acca | escott can i mount my ntfs partition Read Only from pcmanfm ..do you know ? | 19:35 |
| Fyodorovna | smax, just a guess but do you have the desktop showing on both? | 19:35 |
| escott | acca, i would just say "use nautilus" | 19:35 |
| acca | eheh I am on bodhi linux | 19:36 |
| DRayX | Quick question, is there any documentation about the addition of Hyper-V in 12.04 anywhere? | 19:36 |
| LukeNukem | im trying to delete a directory but it keeps saying directory not empty | 19:36 |
| acca | option -r | 19:36 |
| escott | DRayX, /boot/config* | 19:36 |
| LukeNukem | acca, i did | 19:37 |
| LukeNukem | but stil | 19:37 |
| acca | mmm | 19:37 |
| escott | LukeNukem, ls -a path (in case something is hidden) | 19:37 |
| JohnnyonFlame | Anyone here knows how to deal with libconfuse? | 19:37 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: rm -R folder | 19:37 |
| smax | Fyodorona yes | 19:37 |
| smax | Fyodorovna: | 19:37 |
| skkeeper | for some reason i can't apply a gtk theme to nautilus in 12.04 : \ | 19:38 |
| acca | attention it is a dangerous command :) | 19:38 |
| skkeeper | it applies to everything else, but nautilus and the unity itself | 19:38 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, i tried that, same error | 19:38 |
| DRayX | My IT guy is looking for something online that says that Hyper-V support has been added before we deploy it onto our host. | 19:38 |
| smax | but the windows on one desktop stay on the left monitor when I scroll through the list of desktops | 19:38 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, here goes 'sudo reboot' | 19:38 |
| mtracey | I went ahead and put my sftp-server question on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11895827 Thanks all here.. bye. | 19:38 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, :) | 19:38 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem:did you try via Nautilus? | 19:38 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, bummer.. no change | 19:39 |
| Fyodorovna | smax, thanks, I wish I knew. :) | 19:39 |
| escott | DRayX, so check the config file in /boot and see if they enabled the hyperV extensions. My guess is that they didn't | 19:39 |
| alper | hey, is there anybody to confirm that for Media Player (Totem)? Scrolling down (or up) mouse wheel on playlist is affecting also time line of the playing media | 19:39 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, idk what that is | 19:39 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, what happens if you try booting the sda HD? | 19:39 |
| escott | DRayX, but maybe the modularized it, and you can just load the appropriate module | 19:39 |
| maheanuu | I just tried to do a "mount" from the terminal and here is what it is telling me, I could use a bit of advise if possible http://paste.ubuntu.com/960829/ | 19:39 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, it starts up as if nothing ever happened | 19:40 |
| escott | maheanuu, (a) only root can mount things that are not in /etc/fstab and (b) when doing so you must specify device and mountpoint mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom | 19:40 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: Your file manager? Or no gui? | 19:40 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, shows both ubuntu and the windows? | 19:40 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, terminal keeps saying its sub directories are not empty and GUI also says the same thing | 19:40 |
| LukeNukem | but it is empty RyoRonin | 19:40 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, yes. with no trace of the sdb | 19:40 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: let me try something out, what is the name of the folder? | 19:40 |
| smax | cinnamon sucks. | 19:41 |
| DRayX | I am fairly certain they are, but my IT guy won't let me install ubuntu on our host without something online that syas there is support. I found an article from The Register and the bug report on launchpad that says it was added, but he is looking for something more (I'm not entirely sure why). | 19:41 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, from the update-grub step I saw it recognizing both the sdb kernel images and sdas | 19:41 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, www | 19:41 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, as for the 11.04 have you run sudo update-grub there to see if it picks up the 12.04 | 19:41 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: your apache folder? www, have you tried with sudo rm -R www | 19:41 |
| aeon-ltd | DRayX: the LTS pages | 19:42 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, its a backup of the www folder | 19:42 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, no? | 19:42 |
| LukeNukem | k i renamed it to "fag" | 19:42 |
| LukeNukem | to avoid confusion and because its being so stubborn :| | 19:42 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, do that so that you can get the sdb to show if you get in we can reload grub to the mbr from it, rather then the cd. | 19:42 |
| maheanuu | escott, I was in the middle of a burn when this failed, I was burning 2 copies of a file and after the first copy it failed to recognise the media. The drive is showing in computer but when I go to disk manager I cannot mount it | 19:43 |
| maheanuu | escott, did you read the paste? | 19:43 |
| v0lksman_ | did something major change to cron in 12.04? I can't seem to run two jobs from crontab. It only seems to run the last one: http://dpaste.com/741004/ | 19:43 |
| DRayX | aeon-ltd: Have a link by any change? :) | 19:44 |
| DrPOo_44 | is there a way of getting how many RAM sticks I am using on my mobo through the commandline? | 19:44 |
| DRayX | *chance | 19:44 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: did it work? changing the name? | 19:44 |
| escott | maheanuu, its called a coaster for a reason. open up a beer and put it down on top of the CD. | 19:44 |
| aeon-ltd | DRayX: here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS it shows details about support for the LTS versions of ubuntu] | 19:44 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, the output from terminal did pick up the sdb (11.10) but rebooting still says: 'Error: file not found' | 19:44 |
| samster34_ | what is ubuntu 12.04's default desktop sharing port? | 19:44 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, is the ubuntu in the sdb a new install? | 19:45 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, changing the name worked, but it still wont get removed | 19:45 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, I installed it a couple of weeks ago | 19:45 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: you said before that there is nothing in the folder? any hidden? | 19:45 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, checking | 19:46 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, and it was booting from which HD up to now? I wonder if it is broken in some manner. | 19:46 |
| DrPOo_44 | is there a way of getting how many RAM sticks are installed on a system? | 19:46 |
| delac | DrPOo_44: decode-dimms might provide the information | 19:46 |
| escott | DrPOo_44, probably visible in /sys somewhere | 19:47 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, I assume the dock is not the problem as well, can not be sure though. | 19:47 |
| LukeNukem | stupid stubborn folder | 19:47 |
| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, I'm using sdb as a work hd and switch hd twice a day to keep work and private seperate. So I've been using both internally | 19:47 |
| DrPOo_44 | delac, decode-dimms is that the name of the program? | 19:47 |

| HJE841 | Fyodorovna, I'll try that. Thanks any way :) | 19:51 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: try sudo -Rf folder maybe the force option will delete it | 19:51 |
| escott | maheanuu, so for burning i always use the cdrecord command line tool (part of wodim-utils) because i can get more verbose indications of potential issues | 19:51 |
| maheanuu | escott, sorry for not dropping you name in before the last post | 19:51 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, no problem hope you get it figured out. :) | 19:51 |
| pauser | hi, what is the name of PATHPING command in ubuntu ? | 19:51 |
| escott | maheanuu, if you are using k3b you should check the log file from the burn (if it exists), turn up the verbosity (if there is an option for that), and burn slower | 19:52 |
| modernbob | HJE841: http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux/330-ubuntu-1204-precise-pangolin-post-installation-guide | 19:52 |

| maheanuu | Its a holiday here and there is nowhere I can get a new cd drive on this island that will fit in this notebook | 19:53 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: no both -Rf nothing else as an option for rm. You can man rm for more info | 19:53 |
| samster34_ | I'm trying to use VNC/desktop sharing in ubuntu 12.04, to control it from a windows 7 machine. There's a gigabit connection between the machines, yet the video/control is a bit choppy, with only about 15 MB/s traffic. changing the compression to "raw" increases traffic alot, but doesn't increase responsiveness :/ | 19:53 |
| Pici | boxbeatsy: You may want to take a look at the part of the official server guide, here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/email-services.html | 19:54 |
| escott | maheanuu, i could be some issue with the cd drive, but cdrecord can be very verbose about what media it is seeing and should give you a better indication of what might be wrong | 19:54 |
| nimbiotics | Hello all, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with gnome classic and Alt+Tab is not working, any ideas on what might be wrong here? | 19:54 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, i get unknown command R | 19:54 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: sudo rm -Rf folder name, I just did it and it worked without issue. | 19:55 |
| maheanuu | I didn't have a problem with the burn, the first disk burned perfectly, when I put in the 2nd disk thru the 20th disk nothing happens..... It was totally a non recognition | 19:55 |
| escott | maheanuu, could be a fixation issue. some drives act weird if things dont get fixated | 19:55 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, could not remove | 19:56 |
| escott | maheanuu, how did you eject the disk? | 19:56 |
| maheanuu | I am burning on K3b at 16 or 12 x and TAO and am having no problems PERIOD everything was normal till about a half an hour ago | 19:56 |
| RyoRonin | LukeNukem: weird. and sorry to ask but what is the error again. | 19:56 |
| maheanuu | escott, I ejected it manually as this drive does not have a open close mech | 19:57 |
| LukeNukem | RyoRonin, could not delete because folder is not empty | 19:57 |
| maheanuu | When I open K3b it is not recognising the media | 19:58 |
| escott | maheanuu, manually? meaning paperclip? | 19:58 |
| wolter | escott, but isn't that all updated automatically? | 19:58 |
| maheanuu | NO WITH THE BUTTON TO OPEN It wIth | 19:58 |
| escott | wolter, not if you are crossing distros | 19:58 |
| wolter | say, the proprietary drivers get recompiled | 19:58 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, I just thought of whether you had tried using the f12 key at powering on to choose the boot from and checked the usb choice | 19:58 |
| maheanuu | escott the drive has a little release button on the front that you push to MANUALLY open the drive | 19:59 |
| escott | wolter, and everything comes to you precompiled. so you have fglrx precompiled for 3.0 and then put a new kernel in there the symbols may not match. you have to get fglrx that matches, which if you had precise as your distro would be recognized as a dependency that needs updating, but you dont so you have to do it yourself | 19:59 |
| escott | maheanuu, i was confused by your "does not have a open close mech" comment | 20:00 |
| Fyodorovna | HJE841, some computers use other than f12 for this boot from menu outside of the bios. | 20:00 |
| escott | maheanuu, does "eject /dev/sr0" on the command line work? | 20:00 |
| wolter | escott, so that boils up to me having to download not only the old kernel, but the proprietary drivers that came precompiled for that kernel, right? | 20:00 |

Do anyone know how to fix this? | 20:00 |
| escott | wolter, precisely | 20:00 |

| OfficeITGuy149 | Hey #Ubuntu, I have some Synaptic trackpad in Ubuntu questions. I've experienced two really crazy things and would love to know if they even are possible. | 20:01 |
| seth__ | Does .gz = tar.gz? | 20:01 |
| escott | seth__, no tgz=tar.gz | 20:01 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | I've seen the trackpad attempt to close open documents | 20:01 |

| OfficeITGuy149 | n | 20:01 |

| OfficeITGuy149 | and this other really crazy issue where you brush the trackpad, and the machine pastes text that you didn't copy. | 20:02 |
| seth__ | So does anyone know how to install JRE 7? Every tutorial thinks you can download the tar.gz (which you can't) | 20:02 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | just random text that you've seen recently on screen | 20:02 |

| maheanuu | It does'nt in K3b or brasero or others | 20:03 |
| wolter | escott, only one more thing, I will download and install the kernel deb as you suggested, but should I install the drivers right away, or boot into the new old kernel and install them then? | 20:03 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | I just saw the "close documents" thing a moment ago on my Lenovo U300s, I had a terminal window open and then poof it was closed | 20:03 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | without touching the keyboard | 20:03 |
| escott | ZenMaster, sudo iptables -L will list the current rules and you can read them | 20:03 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | which is what my user is complaining about | 20:04 |
| maheanuu | escott, cli? | 20:04 |
| ZenMaster | escott: This means it should work right? | 20:04 |
| seth__ | Why does the Java website state it's a tar.gz file when in reality it's a .gz. | 20:04 |
| maheanuu | command line input... sorry | 20:04 |
| escott | wolter, i would think install them right away. on reboot into that kernel your gui would not come up | 20:04 |
| ZenMaster | escott: ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp | 20:04 |

| Combatjuan | Is there a command that prints all the file operations that its subprocess invokes? Like strace but only file outputs, and make them nice looking like 'cp a.txt b.txt' 'mkdir /tmp/d' etc.? | 20:38 |
| dpyro | changing some server/client settings to take advantage of your gigabit connection may help | 20:38 |

| samster34_ | dpyro: I've tried every encoding setting from zip to jpeg to ZRLFXYZASDF to uncompressed, apart from the network traffic the renposniveness doesn't change | 20:39 |
| dpyro | samster34_: look for something like "force full screen redraw" | 20:39 |
| Combatjuan | It seems like I have run such a program with: xxx make install (where xxx was the name of this program) and it helped me understand where everything was being put. | 20:39 |
| dpyro | that would fix tearing but not responsiveness | 20:39 |

| dpyro | how much is the latency? | 20:39 |
| samster34_ | dpyro: I can't find an option like that, using ultravnc at the moment. When I do something that affects the whole screen, like maximize a window, everything slows to a crawl | 20:39 |
| David-A | Newb: sometimes a rare condition with the hardware can give poor performance, somtimes solved with boot params. sometimes rare condition with the isp, solved with some network setting. i'ts hard to tell what your problem is without more detailed diagnosis. | 20:39 |
| krababbel | MasterOfDisaster: Do you have an nvidia card? | 20:40 |
| dpyro | samster34_: is it redrawing slowly when you do that or do you mean it doesn't respond to additional input for a while? | 20:40 |
| sacarlson | samster34_: what is the application you want to run over this remote? ssh with text is always faster for me | 20:41 |
| beastm0de | hello | 20:41 |
| samster34_ | dpyro: just redrawing slowly. the "server" pc is not reaching it's limits | 20:41 |
| dpyro | chronos: holy crap can one package screw up an entire upgrade? | 20:41 |
| samster34_ | sacarlson: everything, I can#t afford to have a display connected to the ubuntu box | 20:41 |
| dpyro | it may be limiting its bandwidth server-side | 20:41 |
| dpyro | i think a few vnc servers do that by default | 20:41 |
| chronos | dpyro: if is a very used package like python, yes | 20:41 |
| dpyro | expecting to be used over the internet | 20:41 |
| sacarlson | samster34_: ic | 20:41 |
| chronos | btw I think that issue is on libc | 20:42 |
| Newb | David-A, fair enough. So in essence the problem is that flash is not a 100% compatible with the linux kernel and therefore cause a glitchy ride or what is the reason? | 20:42 |
| dpyro | chronos: are python scripts used in the core ubuntu dist? i can understand it being used all over for a bunch of different packages | 20:42 |
| samster34_ | dpyro: I can set connection speed in the client, but I can't select anything above 2MB/s | 20:42 |
| dpyro | but for the base install? | 20:42 |

| sekisushai | hi ! i would like to know all the packages i've installed on my system which aren't on my sources repositories | 20:42 |
| sekisushai | how do i proceed with apt ? | 20:42 |
| samster34_ | dpyro: and the status window looks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21007284/status.png | 20:42 |
| dpyro | how did it not get caught in testing? i'm not trying to blame devs, just curious | 20:42 |
| dpyro | since i just got a prompt to upgrade to 12.04 and i clicked no thanks to you :) | 20:43 |
| samster34_ | so, how do I configure this, seeing as the "desktop sharing" menu thing has like 5 settings | 20:43 |
| dpyro | i mean, i think its a server-setting | 20:43 |
| samster34_ | dpyro: or maybe I need a client that can tell the server the connection is great? | 20:44 |
| dpyro | i'm not that well versed in vnc besides using it occasionally when i'm too lazy to get to my desktop | 20:44 |
| linux4u | I am sorry but I dont know if ubuntu is better kubuntu about upgrades, but just about every one of the last 4 upgrades I did with kubuntu has been broken after the upgrade in some way and I had to fix it. | 20:44 |
| dpyro | no, i think you have to do it from the server | 20:44 |

| Fraid2012 | dpyro: This machine has a Dual Boot of Windows 7 & Ubuntu 12.04 - Fresh install yesterday, however, something happened with the installation and caused a HUGE issue with my Windows loader. | 20:49 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: It's not responding at all, In fact - all I get now - "Error - Unknown File System", I'm running the LiveUSB Version of Ubuntu just to get here to find someone who knows HOW to fix it. | 20:49 |
| bugs_bugger | yo, waddup? i have a problem with booting. after selecting the most recent kernel from grub, the hdd spins and somethings loading but no gdm. the system is reactive though, ctrl-alt-del restarts. | 20:50 |
| Noclipper | Okay, I have ubuntu on a tiny Lenovo S10e. My one problem is that the resolution is only 1024x576, which isn't enough for many programs, which just exit and/or fail to be usable. Is there a way to simulate a larger screen, either by aliasing down to the actual resolution of the screen, or by making the screen scrollable? | 20:50 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: did you install windows and ubuntu? | 20:50 |
| dpyro | can you explain what you did there in more detail? | 20:50 |
| samster34 | hmm. I have freenx-server installed, and it is running, disabling the built in desktop sharing prevents me from connecting to the freenx-server, too | 20:50 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: My installation of Windows was here first, I created a secondary partition just for Ubuntu 12.04 . | 20:50 |
| bugs_bugger | Noclipper: have you installed the right drivers for your graphics already_ | 20:51 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: so when you start the computer, what happens? | 20:51 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: and did you have problems only right after you installed ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| partyboy | is ubuntu 11.04 plug n play for ralink wireless adapters | 20:51 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: No, i never had issues after the installation. | 20:51 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: so what changed? | 20:51 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: The place I work, told me I should remove Ubuntu, so I left it to them. They uninstalled it, and now It won't boot. | 20:51 |
| ztag100 | is there a way to install more transitions for openshot? | 20:52 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: I think it could be an issue with the partition still having GRUB Installed but no Ubuntu. | 20:52 |
| David-A | Newb: what about playing a video locally in Movie Player (totem) or similar? | 20:52 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: I need to somehow boot into windows CMD prompt and repair the boot options. | 20:52 |
| Noclipper | bugs_bugger, as far as I know, it's a fairly default setup, and seems to be running fine, just at the lousy resolution that prevents me from playing DROD on it. :) | 20:53 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: yup, it probably is a partition problem | 20:53 |
| sleepycat | live-build is failing with the following error: E: Unable to locate package console-common Can anyone shed any light on this? | 20:53 |

| FloridaGuy | Can't find gnome-shell-extensions in package manager in ubuntu 12.04 !! | 20:53 |
| samster34 | how do I setup freenx-server after installing it? | 20:53 |
| bugs_bugger | Noclipper: try to determine what driver you use and if necessary install the appropriate for your card from the repos | 20:53 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: Yes, i'll do that now. 2 seconds. | 20:53 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: i think both windows 7 and grub will install to the MBR | 20:54 |

| lordievader | Hey, is there a way to move the Unity bar to the right side instead of the left? | 20:54 |
| Fraid2012 | The partition for Windows says next to it | 20:54 |
| Fraid2012 | /dev/sda1/ | 20:54 |
| Newb | David-A, Could it be that the linux kernel is not utilising the spefic hardware in the best way. For example when i scroll down a page in firefox there is lag when the page loads? also when looading transmission | 20:55 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: which is the active partition? | 20:55 |
| Fraid2012 | and then also another partition where ubuntu used to reside /dev/sda2/ | 20:55 |
| Fraid2012 | the one I need running is /dev/sda1 (Windows - 400GB Part) | 20:55 |
| sleepycat | lordievader: I don't think so. | 20:55 |
| Noclipper | bugs_bugger, the native resolution of the netbook is 1024x576, I want to sacrifice image quality for a higher "behind the scenes" resolution. | 20:55 |
| walbert | maheanuu: a google search for that question shows "linuxcommand.org", it looks decent | 20:55 |
| adarax | hi everyone | 20:55 |

| samster34 | can anyone help me setup freenx-server on ubuntu 12.04? | 20:55 |
| lordievader | sleepycat: Hmm, too bad, oh well thanks anyway | 20:55 |
| Noclipper | kind of hacky I'm guessing if it's possible at all. | 20:55 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: How do you mean "Active" ? | 20:55 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: the main one? | 20:56 |
| bugs_bugger | Noclipper: huh? cant you set it up in your display settings then? | 20:56 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: i think it'll say "boot" | 20:56 |
| adarax | i tryid ubuntu 12.04 but i didnt liked it | 20:56 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: Ah, ok yes /dev/sda1 is the "boot" partition. | 20:56 |

| maheanuu | walbert, thanks much and I will go there, I am having a problem with my cd/dvd drive, and need to see why I cannot mount it but need to learn the commands firt | 20:57 |
| Noclipper | bugs_bugger, no, it won't let me go bigger than 1024x576. | 20:57 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: according to some googling you can reinstall grub to the MBR and it should be able to chainload windows 7 | 20:57 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: Is there any way to remove grub? | 20:57 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: to have it back to Windows primarily? | 20:57 |
| David-A | Newb: maybe yes. you will have to test different things and check logs. then you can google for suspect error messages. for example, did you install proprietary drivers for you graphics card? try with and without | 20:57 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: As I have another machien I wish to run Ubuntu only on. | 20:57 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: well, you need SOME bootloader | 20:58 |
| bugs_bugger | Noclipper: then i dunno...maybe there's a way but i'd have to google as well ^^ | 20:58 |
| Noclipper | bugs_bugger, I'd like to be able to have the internals pretend it's slightly larger, and dump a few lines of pixels. | 20:58 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: Yes i know, but i mean, how would I place back the old bootloader? or would that be through windows? | 20:58 |
| Noclipper | bugs_bugger, if you can find a way, I owe you a cookie. :) | 20:58 |
| dpyro | you should be able to do it through the livecd | 20:58 |
| Fraid2012 | hmmm | 20:58 |
| sae | walbert: about 4 years ago a number of plugins for the browser did not exist in 64bits, e.g. the flash plugin and the java plugin | 20:58 |
| walbert | maheanuu: You could make sure your system detects and properly sees your cdrom - try the "eject" command. | 20:58 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: How would I do that? | 20:58 |
| sleepycat | lordievader: there is an ongoing thing of feature requests like that being responded to with "won't fix" | 20:59 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: Because, prior to the installation I had ONE HDD as the singular partition, and now I have like 3 partitions total. | 20:59 |
| maheanuu | walbert, I did from the terminal and it does | 20:59 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: can you repeat what is wrong with the booting process right now? | 20:59 |
| dpyro | i.e. what steps the computer goes through to get to the error | 20:59 |
| sae | walbert: one had to install the 32 bit version of the browser in order to get the 32 bit plugins to work | 20:59 |
| bugs_bugger | Noclipper: kinda got my own problem here with loading my system, sorry. i just deemed that you had a problem with your drivers but how to set the res higher than your monitor/laptop supports extends over my knowledge | 20:59 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: even with one partition there should be a MBR :) | 20:59 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: Yes, when I boot - it passes the BIOS phase - Then it goes onto the black screen, and displays "Error - Uknown Filesystem" | 20:59 |
| walbert | sae: gotcha, so it's really a third-party package concern? | 20:59 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: i think that's the BIOS complaining | 21:00 |
| partyboy | maheanuu: maheanuu: | 21:00 |
| maheanuu | walbert, the drive shows up in disk manager, it just doesn't recognize the media and I cannot mount it | 21:00 |
| dpyro | but let me check and make sure | 21:00 |
| samster34 | can someone help me configure freenx? | 21:00 |
| RyoRonin | Noclipper: I don't believe you can make the desktop larger than your sceen can produce. I have a S10, Mini110, and a Dell 9, the HP and S10 I use Crunchbang and with the dell 9 i use Ubuntu 10.10, but its resolution is 1024x600. | 21:00 |

| dpyro | Fraid2012: do you know if the ubuntu partition was the active one originally? | 21:01 |
| walbert | maheanuu: Is there any chance that there's a problem with the media? Does the drive work fine with other disks? | 21:01 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: No it was not the active one, as I created a new partition to begin with just for ubuntu | 21:01 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: normally if grub fails it should give you at least a rescue prompt | 21:01 |
| Fraid2012 | dpyro: yes it does, | 21:01 |
| dpyro | so that makes me think its a BIOS error | 21:01 |

| Fraid2012 | every time i click on it | 21:07 |
| dpyro | then you can copy all the files you want to another usb drive or something | 21:07 |
| Fraid2012 | on the HDD for windows | 21:07 |
| Kaco | Fraid2012, i don't think windows will boot from usb | 21:07 |
| Fraid2012 | it states a message about "COW Not recognised" | 21:07 |

| Fraid2012 | Yes. | 21:08 |
| samster34 | conner_bw: nvm, I see it. GT 430 eh? I guess I'm lucky I didn't try to use my GT 420 I have lying around :/ | 21:08 |

| samster34 | can anyone help me configure freeNX on 12.04? | 21:09 |
| walbert | Kaco/Fraid2012: just as a fyi - recent versions of windows have eliminated the 'fixmbr' command, but "bootrec /fixmbr" achieves the same thing | 21:09 |
| arnolde | salut ! | 21:09 |
| Fraid2012 | I should never have installed Ubuntu lol | 21:09 |
| Fraid2012 | Not without knowing anything about it :/ | 21:09 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: lol, the problem was with removing it haphazardly | 21:09 |
| Fraid2012 | I know that now lmao | 21:10 |
| Fraid2012 | The people who removed it told me they deleted the partitions for Ubuntu | 21:10 |
| dpyro | ok, here is what i think happened | 21:10 |
| maheanuu | partyboy, did you read the paste file on the fstab | 21:10 |
| Fraid2012 | They didnt even use the standard removal procedure, they just deleted from Windows. | 21:10 |
| Fraid2012 | Shutdown > | 21:10 |
| Fraid2012 | I turn it on, and hey presto... Grub errors. | 21:10 |
| Dice-Man | sudo rm -rf | 21:10 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: the grub boot loader used files in /boot on ubuntu to do the bootloading, and maybe chainload windows | 21:10 |
| bugs_bugger | mhh...i know one should not repeat questions...but: any idea how i can find out if recently changing partitions fragged my grub config? | 21:10 |
| walbert | Fraid2012: Follow this Microsoft article to remove grub from your system http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 | 21:11 |

| dpyro | walbert: does that work without a windows CD? | 21:11 |
| Fraid2012 | Ive seen that | 21:11 |
| Fraid2012 | but the problem is | 21:11 |
| dpyro | looks like grub needs files on the ubuntu partition to know what to do | 21:11 |
| chronos | is possible to back to 11.10 from 12.04 ? | 21:11 |
| chronos | is possible to unpack files from 11.10 ? | 21:11 |
| Fraid2012 | I dont have any DVD's/ISO's/ etc | 21:11 |

| Fraid2012 | I have no method of opening windows whatsoever. | 21:12 |
| chronos | and do a upgrade | 21:12 |
| samster34 | can anyone help me configure freeNX on 12.04? I can only seem to connect to the "Desktop Sharing" that ships with the distro | 21:12 |
| sae | dpyro: no, you need a rescue disc, which can be created from a working windows | 21:12 |
| dpyro | Fraid2012: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ ? | 21:12 |
| dpyro | try reinstalling grub to the MBR for now, it may work | 21:13 |
| Fraid2012 | Lol | 21:13 |
| Fraid2012 | I went to that link Pyro | 21:13 |

| Fraid2012 | ill be able to tell you the Error | 21:19 |
| walbert | Fraid2012: You won't be able to fix grub very easily, because you've already destroyed your linux partitions, which nixed your /boot directory, wherever it was - which grub needs to function. In order to boot to windows, you can use the GRUB on your USB disk, and enter some commands into the GRUB prompt directly to force it to boot off of your windows partition | 21:20 |
| walbert | Fraid2012: That would be utilising the GRUB installed on your USB key, rather than the broken one on your hard drive | 21:20 |
| Fraid2012 | The Error I get it | 21:21 |
| Fraid2012 | "No Root File SYstem is Defined - Please correct this from the partitioning menu" | 21:21 |

| krfkeith | L3tops, well do you have a method that works? I'd be more than willing to switch :P | 21:45 |
| tkeith | Monotoko: Configure it in /etc/adduser.conf. I think the idea of 755 is that individual files/directories (like .ssh) that are private should have private permissions, but I don't really like that either. | 21:46 |

| escott | finish06, doesn't matter | 21:49 |
| hash | im trying to do the same thing i can get connected thru desktop sharing on in linux and the remote desk top viewer in windows 7 | 21:49 |
| finish06 | escott, any benefit/ disadvantage with one or the other? | 21:50 |
| hash | but im having issues with it | 21:50 |
| Monotoko | tkeith, I'm gonna go take this up with the devs I think... I don't particularly want my family routing through my files, and I don't understand why it wouldn't be 600 by default, 755 if you wanted it that way | 21:50 |
| L3tops | hash just use teamviewer and make your life easy, unless you are on a learning exercise. | 21:50 |
| escott | finish06, no. as a general rule if the question is "primary or logical" the answer is linux doesn't care | 21:50 |
| alffess | hi all | 21:50 |
| finish06 | escott, awesome. :) | 21:50 |
| samster34 | hash: I'm using UltraVNC on my win7 desktop, works well enough, but it's sluggish and updates selectively, leaving trails when dragging windows | 21:51 |

| hash | l3tops teamviewer on the windows system | 21:51 |
| L3tops | put it on the linux system... live long and prosper | 21:52 |
| tkeith | Monotoko: Another reason might be that services like Apache often have to access files from home directories | 21:52 |
| alffess | L3tops: skype doesnt work when other application is using audio | 21:52 |
| L3tops | hash: I misunderstood it goes on both | 21:52 |

| L3tops | hash: www.teamviewer.com linux/mac/windows interoperability... | 21:52 |
| tbrown | I was wondering in ubuntu how to I chandnge the sou | 21:53 |
| finish06 | the only nice thing about teamviewer is it is super easy for someone else to download and install in a bind :) | 21:53 |
| Socket- | samster34: have you seen this article? http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_Ubuntu_Linux_Desktop | 21:53 |
| L3tops | samster34: I have a 64kbs connection and I connect all over the world with it. Its awesome | 21:53 |
| hash | is it able to run from a thumbdrive | 21:53 |
| samster34 | L3tops: yes, but its still sluggish over ethernet | 21:53 |
| mysteriousdarren | just optimize the settings for speed | 21:53 |
| tbrown | I was wondering how can I change the sound | 21:53 |
| samster34 | L3tops: more so than any of the VNC alternatives I've tried | 21:53 |
| ben__ | How can i figure out the post-installation scripts of a given package? | 21:53 |
| L3tops | You could... boot a livedisk usb and install it. | 21:54 |
| imbezol | Monotoko: every linux and unix system i have ever been on creates them 755 | 21:54 |
| L3tops | samster34: I dont argue that... it is just my bread and butter... I live in the middle of nowhere | 21:54 |
| imbezol | Monotoko: as a system admin, you just need to realize that, and adjust if needed | 21:54 |
| Guest38577 | my mom says hi | 21:54 |
| tbrown | L3tops: How can you get the sound working on ubuntu | 21:54 |
| hash | ok because im trying to set it up so i can access my system while at school and i cant install on those systems | 21:55 |
| L3tops | ah... that is a bit different hash | 21:55 |
| L3tops | but still you could boot to a livedisk which you have embedded it on hash | 21:55 |

| L3tops | !ssh | hash | 21:58 |
| ubottu | hash: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 21:58 |
| L3tops | at the same time, he would have to install putty | 21:58 |
| Monotoko | imbezol, even Windows asks you up front if you want protection... if I set my mother an account up and I assumed that as the sudo user she wouldn't have access to my files.... she's been through all my folders which I didn't really want | 21:58 |
| barry_ | hi! brand new ubunutu user. tried to install off usb drive. all goes well until "unable to install GRUB in (hd0)". help? | 21:58 |

| Ben64 | coleix: 300 is the maximum possible, it's almost impossible to ever get it | 21:58 |
| escott | tarelerulz, no | 21:59 |
| L3tops | tarelerulz: 1104 is out of support | 21:59 |
| imbezol | Monotoko: as a sudo user? sudo user like root access? | 21:59 |
| tarelerulz | Ok | 21:59 |
| Monotoko | imbezol, I'm the sudo user... I added my mother as a regular account because she wanted to use the net and download some files | 21:59 |
| argief | L3tops, maybe he just hasnt thought of it | 22:00 |
| michaela | hi if anyone has a chance i wold like to talk about my gateway gt5656 im tring to install ubuntu 12.04 and i have some problems what ever help i get wold be much appreciated | 22:00 |
| Ben64 | L3tops, tarelerulz: 11.04 is supported until October 2012 | 22:00 |
| tarelerulz | have any of you installed Ubuntu from a sdcard ? using it like cd not installing ubuntu too it. | 22:00 |
| argief | tarerulz, you can use something like gparted to boot and resize the partition | 22:00 |
| L3tops | Is it?? My mistake Ben64... | 22:00 |
| coleix | Ben64: Hmm, so is it real connection? because windows 7 says connected at 300, kinda like false advertisement? | 22:00 |
| Monotoko | imbezol, generally if I add another account on my PC, it's because I don't want the person using it inside my account... | 22:00 |
| imbezol | Monotoko: ah. well any user can have sudo access if given to them. doesn't mean their home directory permissions will change | 22:00 |
| tbrown | I got the sound to work on the computer yahaa | 22:01 |
| hash | so putty is an ssh client that i can run from windows to access my linux system | 22:01 |
| tbrown | it was on mute | 22:01 |
| Ben64 | coleix: not really false advertisement, more like the difference between bandwidth and throughput | 22:01 |
| samster34 | Socket-: no I have not seen that article, but yes I tried to use the integrated vnc server (vino) first. but it's sluggish and updates aren't quick over ethernet. maximizing a window produces a 1-2 second lag before anything happens | 22:01 |

| imbezol | it's so much more annoying having all these triggers than the actual questions they're directed at :P | 22:05 |
| samster34 | what's a good remote desktop/vnc/??? server that performs well over gigabit ethernet? | 22:05 |
| barry_ | escott, it was a dell precision with win xp, and i was sick of it. wiped it clean. downloaded ubuntu ontousb. ran install off usb. quad core, about 4 years old. raid striped, total 640 gb | 22:05 |
| runvnc | do you mean sudo apt-get install "openssl_1.0.0" | 22:05 |
| escott | barry_, raid striped? intel bios raid? | 22:05 |
| here | runvnc: sure whatever works, sudo will help. | 22:05 |
| runvnc | because that didnt work and "openssl 1.0.0" makes it try to install every package that has a name matching 1.0.0 | 22:05 |
| barry_ | escott, i believe so. | 22:05 |
| L3tops | the triggers happen once per user, users often return and do not require triggers again imbezol. It is a net loss of chatter | 22:05 |
| here | runvnc: aha! that answers one of my own questions! :p | 22:05 |
| imbezol | l3tops: or maybe it's just the people that use them that are annoying | 22:05 |
| supercom32 | This might be a shot in the dark, but does anyone here use Visual Studio, or know much about it? | 22:05 |
| escott | barry_, then turn that off, use the alternate install cd, and if you want raid use mdadm | 22:05 |
| runvnc | here ? | 22:06 |
| Ben64 | runvnc: openssl is version 0.9.8 in natty, if you want a newer version, you should upgrade ubuntu | 22:06 |
| runvnc | ok.. how do I upgrade ubuntu | 22:06 |
| runvnc | from the command line | 22:06 |
| runvnc | will that take the server out | 22:06 |
| L3tops | imbezol: or maybe you just dont like rules man... lol | 22:06 |

| barry_ | escott, so you're saying to nix the raid, just use the drives separately, then make an install cd from the iso? | 22:07 |

| wad | Hmm. Generally, when I've got a USB mouse plugged in to my laptop, I do "sudo rmmod psmouse" to disable the touchpad. After upgrading to 12.04 LTS, I did that, and it crashed compiz. After a reboot, my touchpad no longer works at all. Ideas? I'd like to have it back... | 22:16 |

| dragly_ | Hi! Are there any differences between installing Kubuntu from the ISO and installing with apt-get? | 22:18 |
| hokachu | I installed 12.04 on my laptop with a USB stick. While installing it only showed half a screen. Afterwards it showed purple, and then went black forever. If I reboot it just continues to do the same thing. It will boot into recovery mode, but still only has half a screen. I am completely new to Ubuntu. Does anyone know what this kind of issue is? Maybe I should try an older version of Ubuntu? | 22:19 |
| ninwa | Is anybody else having problems installing updates today? I'm getting an error 'Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' ' :o) So far as I can tell I'm having no other internet/dns issues. | 22:19 |
| L3tops | dragly_: you mean from ubuntu, installing kubuntu-desktop? | 22:19 |
| here | dragly: iso requires you have the files already? while apt-get will transfer it anew. | 22:20 |
| dragly_ | hokachu: Try clicking CTRL+ALT+F1 and see if you get access to a terminal. | 22:20 |
| L3tops | I disagree with here... but thats ok. | 22:20 |
| hazelnutx | I have my laptop hardwired to internet but it has wifi capability. When I connect the WIFI and then disconnect the hardwire funny things happen. When I close the laptop or let it sleep without the hardwire, when I open the laptop the entire thing completely locks up. If I cold boot it, I get as far as the ubuntu purple screen and it sits there. If I go back and reconnect the ethernet cable and restart, everything works perfectly. Can anyone help me fix th | 22:20 |
| hazelnutx | is so I can be mobile? | 22:20 |
| Areckx | Well this might explain some things about Birisu... http://www.fanfiction.net/u/307635/Birisu | 22:20 |
| trism | here: the packages are in proposed, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed | 22:20 |
| here | trism: cool, thanks. | 22:20 |
| dragly_ | L3tops: Yes, from Ubuntu, and kubuntu-desktop. | 22:21 |
| hokachu | I could access terminal in recovery mode. But the person who was helping me was unable to find the solution. I wanted to at least have a basic install so I could learn commands properly. I am seriously a newb. | 22:21 |
| L3tops | You will have an awful lot of g* packages that you do not use. Kubuntu is a bit bloaty imo already... so I would opt for the iso. While bloaty I personally prefer it. | 22:22 |
| Areckx | hokachu:: Do you have a live cd or usb prepared? | 22:22 |
| hokachu | Having just half of the screen makes it even more difficult. If I use the mouse it looks like a Paint eraser. | 22:22 |
| hokachu | USB. | 22:22 |
| dragly_ | hokachu: Ok, then it could be something wrong with the graphics setup under installation. Have you tried booting Ubuntu directly from your install medium - USB or CD? | 22:22 |
| michaela | is there a noob ubuntu irc channel | 22:22 |

| wad | After my upgrade to 12.04 LTS, my touchpad no longer works. Anyone else discover this? | 22:24 |
| dragly_ | L3tops: Yeah, I know about the package mess that comes with it, but I'm not sure if I'll go with Unity or KDE yet. So I'm wondering if the ISO-setup is in any way more "proper" - i.e. gives a better experience. | 22:24 |
| simplew | Monotoko: can you be more clear? | 22:24 |
| imbezol | wad: try modprobe psmouse | 22:24 |
| simplew | so ubuntu will not allow to encrypt the root partition?!? | 22:24 |
| Monotoko | simplew, sudo permissions give your user root access, you can put everything in an encrypted users home... why do you need /root? | 22:24 |
| wad | imbezol, I did, doesn't help. | 22:24 |

| simplew | i would need to put /boot into a partition to be able to encrypt /root partition | 22:26 |
| wad | imbezol, that involves editing xorg.conf, right? | 22:26 |
| simplew | Myrtti: a partitions can be mounted where i choose | 22:26 |
| dragly_ | hokachu: You could try 11.10, it might not have the same bug. The difference between 11.10 and 12.04 is mostly polish. | 22:26 |
| hokachu | michaela, it just depends on who is available at the time of your question. I also have had a lot of trouble getting help because I am completely new and helping people like us requires a lot of time and patience. | 22:26 |
| imbezol | wad: well.. in the old days it did | 22:26 |
| Monotoko | simplew, I believe truecrypt might be a better option for you if you're trying to encrypt *everything* | 22:26 |
| imbezol | wad: my system doesn't actually have one in /etc/X11 | 22:26 |
| wad | imbezol, I'm kind of old-school.... What's the fancy new way to tell X about the touchpad? It's present before I log in. | 22:27 |
| wad | imbezol, I mean, the touchpad works before I log in. | 22:27 |
| imbezol | wad: oh, it works in gdm? | 22:27 |
| schultza | cinnamon is having a lot of errors | 22:27 |
| wad | Wow, I don't have an xorg.conf either! | 22:27 |
| hokachu | dragly_, thank you. I will try it instead. It's probably better for new people to start with an older version. | 22:27 |
| L3tops | dragly_: hokachu what GPU do you have? lspci | grep VGA | 22:27 |
| dragly_ | hokachu: It often is. Older versions are usually a bit more tested than the most fresh ones. | 22:28 |
| wad | imbezol, not sure what gdm is... the touchpad works in the screen that Ubuntu boots to, before I enter in my password. | 22:28 |
| dzocrnanula | Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on my laptop and while doing last update I've had some errors in fetching files. After that I rebooted and system starts in terminal. Anyone can help me with this? | 22:28 |
| simplew | so currently theres no way to encrypt the system? its only possible to encrypt /home? | 22:28 |
| imbezol | wad: ok. that's the gdm login manager on my system | 22:28 |
| sary | michaela: perhaps you're looking for #ubuntu-beginners . | 22:28 |
| hokachu | Graphics card? It seems to be very generic because I couldn't find any information about it on my laptop, in the bios, or on the website. | 22:28 |
| hokachu | sary, is that really a channel? | 22:29 |
| dragly_ | hokachu: Also, if you only get to a terminal, try to run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade after installing. It might help you download updated packages that fixes your bug. | 22:29 |

| hokachu | sary, thank you. | 22:32 |
| dragly_ | L3tops: hazelnutx That sounds like a hardware problem. I'd suggest you search the internet for "Ubuntu" and the name of your laptop to see if anyone else has the same issue. It is probably not generic, so you are not likely to get much help here I'm afraid. | 22:32 |
| hazelnutx | thankyou | 22:32 |
| LuiX | i'm looking for a good sound troubleshooting guide, anyone? | 22:32 |

| dragly_ | Munzxxx87: I doubt it. Issues with brightness is more often connected to hardware driver issues. You could try booting an Ubuntu Live CD and see if it works there - if yes, it might be compiz, if no, it is most likely some hardware regression. | 22:40 |

| Lirth | How do I set java 7 to run by default (instead of java 6)? | 23:04 |
| mado | some hours ago someone here i think told me that flash could probably be my problem why my mic doesn't work in some chat ... | 23:05 |
| OerHeks | FloridaGuy, maybe you can start such repo. i searched ( days ago) and found no ppa | 23:05 |
| mado | i went back to this chat but noticed that my cam's working fine | 23:05 |
| samster34 | argh, I installed gnome-panel for vnc, now I can't get it to start unity anymore | 23:05 |
| Fyodorovna | Loonatic, what player are you using, or better what have you tried | 23:06 |

| FloridaGuy | OerHeks, i know the one i did find was broke | 23:06 |
| mado | some hours ago someone here i think told me that flash could probably be my problem why my mic doesn't work in some chat ... i went back to this chat but noticed that my cam's working fine ... anyone an idea if those are real two different things or if by now knowing that the cam works ... we can find a way for the mic to work too? | 23:06 |

| samster34 | my 12.04 now starts with no window manager and no desktop environment....I can start unity, or compiz, that gives me window borders again, but no bar thing or dash | 23:07 |
| simplew | why is ubuntu so restritive and confusing? | 23:07 |
| synaptix|ubuntu | FloridaGuy, you mean this-> https://extensions.gnome.org/ ? | 23:08 |

| Fyodorovna | FloridaGuy, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/official-gnome-shell-extensions-weather.html | 23:09 |
| Fyodorovna | Loonatic, I assume you have al the right codecs since they are playing like the restricted extras and medibuntu and such. | 23:09 |
| Barridus | i don't want to use keyrings, how do i get rid of that functionality (and the prompts for my password regarding it) | 23:09 |
| xangua | samster34: sounds like you disabled the unity plugin on compiz settings | 23:10 |
| Loonatic | Fyodorovna: check and check | 23:10 |
| samster34 | xangua: I only selected gnome classic from the options on the login screen | 23:10 |
| samster34 | when I selected "ubuntu" again. I ended up with a desktop with nothing | 23:10 |
| finish06 | I am on ubuntu 10.04, and software sources doesn't show me the new 12.04 update... what do I need to do? | 23:10 |
| Fyodorovna | Loonatic, not sure myself wish I had a triage for yah. | 23:10 |
| samster34 | can I just start "ubuntu-desktop" from the terminal? | 23:11 |
| Fyodorovna | finish06, the lts is lts to lts it wil be out 30 days past the release. | 23:11 |
| === 18WAAXEJW is now known as JoFo | ||
| Loonatic | Fyodorovna: no worries, i am thinking bypassing the ubuntu default confand creating my xorg.cong to tweak might give me something better. | 23:11 |
| Fyodorovna | finish06, you could force a upgrade but I would wait if me and back it up before. | 23:11 |
| === JoFo is now known as Guest52185 | ||
| xangua | finish06: you can use the Alternate precice pangolin iso to upgrade | 23:12 |

| samster34 | if I start unity, it kills compiz, if I start compiz it wants me to replace unity...how do I get my desktop environment back? | 23:12 |
| Fyodorovna | finish06, not sure usually it is a command run from the alt-f2 command | 23:13 |
| Fyodorovna | finish06, here is the closest link I could find. http://askubuntu.com/questions/125392/no-new-release-found-when-upgrading-a-from-10-04-lts-to-12-04-lts | 23:15 |
| simplew | why is ubuntu so restritive and confusing? | 23:15 |
| FloridaGuy | synaptix|ubuntu, yeah.. but how do i download from there | 23:15 |
| koro | because it's what you want, baby | 23:16 |
| koro | you know you want it. | 23:16 |
| finish06 | thanks Fyodorovna ! | 23:16 |
| lake | i am interested in building a DVR. I am using an HD-PVR (that has an IR blaster), a directv box, and mythtv. My question is how can I get mythtv to change channels. I have yet to understand what I need to do. Anyone familiar with this type of setup? | 23:16 |
| wad | Thanks for 12.04 LTS! I've got almost everything set up the way I like. One last item: I'd like to be able to lock the system when I leave my desk. I can't seem to figure out any way to make that work. I've set the locking key to be WIN+ALT+L in the Keyboard settings area, but it doesn't do anything. | 23:16 |
| FloridaGuy | Fyodorovna, think that the same one i had that would not work.. i'll try again | 23:17 |
| duckx0r | /j #debian | 23:17 |
| wad | Even selecting "Lock Screen" from the top-right menu doesn't do anything. | 23:17 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I'm making some package repository BD-Rs for Lucid. I already downloaded all of lucid and lucid-updates. I know that I dont need lucid-proposed or lucid-backports. But my question is what exactly is lucid-security? | 23:18 |
| modernbob | wad: that works on mine | 23:18 |
| wad | modernbob, what does it do? Is there a screensaver that runs? | 23:18 |
| finish06 | Fyodorovna, that worked like a charm, as a quick TIL answer: the command it: sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 23:18 |
| mado | guys ... i have to call my horse back! ... now the mic is working but the cam isn't | 23:18 |
| wad | I had Xscreensaver installed, but when locking failed to work, I uninstalled it, thinking that it was messing it up somehow. | 23:19 |
| mado | isn't that funny? | 23:19 |
| modernbob | wad: no just says locked screen and then gives me the login dialog | 23:19 |
| finish06 | Fyodorovna, the "-d" is what is necessary to enable the update to go through prior to 12.04.1 | 23:19 |
| wad | modernbob, hmm. I wish mine would do that. | 23:19 |
| samster34 | help! I forked my desktop environment...when I log in, there is no top bar, no side bar, no dash, how do I get them back? | 23:19 |
| wad | samster34, Type CTRL-ALT-F1, log in, and do "sudo init 0" to shut down. Then turn it on again. | 23:20 |
| c_smith | Does anyone have the Launchpad page for the Banshee Ipod video transfer bug? | 23:20 |

| Fyodorovna | FloridaGuy, hmm I have that repo and the extensions loaded, if I remember I got it all from that site info. | 23:20 |
| wad | samster34, oh wait, it happens every time? Your windows manager is having trouble. | 23:20 |

| samster34 | wad: yeah I didn't want to kill it, just have both available | 23:21 |
| wad | samster34, did you try uninstalling the gnome-panel? | 23:21 |
| L3tops | mado does your cam work in cheese? | 23:21 |

| funnyboy243 | Why do you want it? When was it? | 23:22 |
| samster34 | wad: that gets me window frames and menus, but not the panels/bars/dash/?? | 23:23 |
| funnyboy243 | What's your sign? | 23:23 |
| valeq | help me pls wtih sound on ubuntu 12.04 | 23:23 |
| funnyboy243 | Can you ask for help in the form of a question? | 23:23 |

| cdg | The latest version of xserver-xorg-input-evdev (1.2.7) makes scrolling not work while the mouse is moving in some quake3 engine games. It seems a bug reported was filed but how do I downgrade to 1.2.6 in the meantime? This update occurred due to the 12.04 dist upgrade. | 23:37 |
| aaa | "metacity --replace" did the work. thanks | 23:37 |
| Drajwer | Is this safe to dist upgrade ubuntu 10.04 LTS server to 12.04 LTS server on a production system? I think we all know how desktop upgrade worked every time. Anyone tried this? | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | Drajwer: you should backup first | 23:37 |
| bigterd | Drajwer, never use ubuntu for production systems. | 23:38 |
| bigterd | debian :D :D | 23:38 |
| Drajwer | why not? | 23:38 |
| bigterd | it's made too complicated to be simple. | 23:38 |
| wxl | heeeeeeeyyy | 23:38 |
| yeats | Drajwer: there's no reason not to | 23:38 |
| Myrtti | bigterd: please don't spread FUD around | 23:38 |
| Myrtti | Drajwer: I'd personally wait for the first .1 release before upgrading | 23:38 |
| yeats | Drajwer: LTS's are extremely stable in my experience | 23:38 |
| Drajwer | why .1? | 23:39 |
| bigterd | i'm just voicing my opinion. ive tried ubuntu, it's too flakey, some software isn't up to date when running straight debian. i've washed my hands of it for production systems. | 23:39 |
| yeats | Drajwer: no need to rush | 23:39 |
| wxl | i have a strange question. i'm a lubuntu user trying to help a friend out who's trying to use ubuntu along side windows and access his windows files. he's got a mount on /media/c but it's empty. what are we missing? | 23:39 |
| === zxlw is now known as sent | ||
| bigterd | erm, not up to date when running uubntu compared to debian. | 23:39 |
| * wxl doesn't do windows fyi :) | 23:39 | |
| Ben64 | bigterd: this is an ubuntu channel, if you want to talk about debain, go to a debian channel | 23:39 |
| Ash-Fox | Hello, in this last kernel update, I noticed that my framebuffer is blanking about, the only thing I could find relevant to this was a note in the change log saying "Switch to uvesafb in fb-modules", how do I change it back, so I can see my framebuffer again? | 23:39 |
| Drajwer | bigterd: this is what lts are for | 23:40 |

| bigterd | i'm not discussing debian. i'm saying i don't use ubuntu for production. | 23:40 |
| wxl | op me beeches | 23:40 |
| synaptix|ubuntu | gotta agree with Myrtti there, +1 to waiting for .1 at least for production deployments | 23:40 |
| Flynsarmy | how do i add indicators to my top panel in unity? right click does nothing | 23:40 |
| wxl | oops wrong channel hahahahah | 23:40 |
| bigterd | but feel free to kick me for discussing ubuntu. | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | you were telling someone in #ubuntu not to use ubuntu. quite silly | 23:40 |
| bigterd | i was telling them to use it. not how to use it. | 23:41 |

| craigbass1976 | I'm trying to get ubuntu on a mac. I've downloaded the ppc version of lubuntu, but can't get the mac menu up. I read that the C key was key; does nothing except go to the regular mac menu. | 23:41 |

| ubottu | bigterd have a read: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 23:41 |

| donvito | thanks | 23:44 |
| Fyodorovna | cdg, I assume you know what your doing here otherwise. :) | 23:44 |
| papashou | i know this is a subjective topic but | 23:45 |
| papashou | gnome3 - does it keep the menu items on the individual windows? | 23:45 |
| Myrtti | Tom_: AFAIK it's not released. | 23:45 |
| cdg | Fyodorovna: Let me check it out real quick. Thought it might be an issue because it came with a dist upgrade. | 23:45 |
| bigterd | Tom, xda developers. | 23:45 |
| papashou | I'm using Unity now and it is kind fo annoying how the menu bar is torn away and put at the top bar- considering most of these applications were designed to have the menu item in the window itself... does that make any sense ? | 23:45 |
| Fyodorovna | papashou, you mean access the same menu as in the first desktop | 23:46 |
| Drajwer_ | I wonder why. even do-release-upgrade tells me that its not recommended to upgrade | 23:46 |
| Flynsarmy | am i able to reorder indicator applets? i try dragging them but that just opens them | 23:46 |
| bigterd | Tom_, xda developers | 23:46 |
| wylde | papashou: you can remove the packages related to "globalmenu" to remove that feature. That's what I did. | 23:47 |
| synaptix|ubuntu | Myrtti, is it ok if i send you a /msg real quick in regards to something? | 23:47 |
| Captain_Crow | is ubuntu 12.04 LTS new? | 23:47 |

| synaptix|ubuntu | yes it is Captain_Crow | 23:48 |
| Captain_Crow | when was it released? | 23:48 |
| Myrtti | synaptix|ubuntu: if it's this channel related, try #ubuntu-ops, if freenode, try #freenode, it's late - I'm going to bed. gn. | 23:48 |

| Captain_Crow | was the glitch fixed where the desktop disappeared after activating the cube? | 23:51 |
| Fyodorovna | Captain_Crow, ading the cube is not real tricky but you need to know how to do it, lots of webpages on this. | 23:52 |
| Fyodorovna | *adding | 23:52 |
| Captain_Crow | will my desktop disappear if i mess up like in the previous version? | 23:52 |
| Fyodorovna | Captain_Crow, does seem a bit more stable in 12.04 though not loosing window headers any more needing a compiz restart. | 23:53 |

| bigterd | Tom_, there's a thread of how to run ubuntu on a few different ROMS. i haven't done it, but i've read it one day killing time. you might need a phone with an unlocked bootloader for custom kernel, and i'm assuming AOSP or AOKP ROM. but it's been successfully done running ubuntu on the phone and VNC'ing into it and stuff. | 23:57 |
