[00:00] <JollySpam> KMO2O1: oops sorry
[00:00] <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?
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <devinus> Menno: okay, so i want suid on e.g. /home if i have stuff in my ~/bin right?
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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" ?
[00:06] <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.
[00:07] <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.
[00:16] <pencilpenpen> hello
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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] <L3top> !enter | pencilpenpen
[00:18] <pencilpenpen> sorry
[00:19] <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.
[00:20] <L3top> peter_c: you should definitely have an /etc/network/interfaces file.
[00:20] <peter_c> crap nevermind, im using centOS
[00:20] <peter_c> :(
[00:21] <pencilpenpen> i am sure it is still on the network, i can see a webpage it is serving.
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <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?
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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?
[00:29] <DarwinSurvivor> !headers
[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.
[00:30] <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.
[00:31] <netsmith2012> Question: Does Ubuntu include it's own Linux implementation besides it's own GUI user interface.
[00:32] <DarwinSurvivor> !kernel
[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
[00:33] <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.
[00:34] <Fyodorovna> Steve132, the custom install is still there it is called other in the gui of choosing the install placement
[00:34] <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.
[00:35]  * Bsims used unity long enough to install kde and wmaker
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <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
[00:37] <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.
[00:38] <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] <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% ?
[00:39] <Bsims> Chax: do glxinfo|less for me would you and msg me the results
[00:39] <tedryder> Also, I have an AMD graphics card and the proprietary drivers are installed but for some reason the AMD Control Software won't start.
[00:39] <MirkoKa> ox1de: a terminal window. happens seldomly for some packages which require info from you or an approvement for some non-free license. if it doesn't diappear after some time, what text do you see in it=
[00:40] <ox1de> it was blank grew
[00:40] <ox1de> grey
[00:40] <DarwinSurvivor> Sample: that's not uncommon. if it hits 10% you may have an issue (depending on how powerful your CPU is of course)
[00:40] <ox1de> it dissappears right away
[00:40] <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] <PhlowHome> My laptop screen goes blank when I close the lid and reopen, any known fix?
[00:40] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: to stop errors from appearing, fix the errors :D
[00:40] <MirkoKa> ox1de: so don't bother, all fine
[00:41] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: They come up every couple seconds, I can't even work on them!
[00:41] <ox1de> ok
[00:41] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: also, errors are only dumped to TTY1, if you need to use a recovery console, use TTY2-9
[00:42] <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.
[00:43] <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).
[00:44] <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?
[00:45] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: Didn't use the live-cd.  I installed from the server CD since i want LVM.
[00:46] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: I've had this laptop for a year and I've yet to find a distro that is lightwieght and wireless works correctly.
[00:46] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: ok, 2 things to try: First see if the live-cd boots ok, then also run the "check this disk for errors" on the disk that you installed with to rule out a bad download/burn
[00:47] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: I've seen many people spend a week trying to fix an install only to find out the install disk was bad :(
[00:47] <Surlent777> I've found a really weird issue: as of upgrading to 12.04, I've noticed Firefox refuses to allow me to customize toolbars, period. The cursor changes into a hand, but click operations aren't recognized, much less dragging. Any advice?
[00:47] <jellow> can I dd an .iso to a usb ?
[00:47] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: md5sum matched for the burned disk, it's fine.
[00:48] <DarwinSurvivor> Surlent777: I've seen that before. Run firefox with a clean profile and see if the issue goes away
[00:48] <Surlent777> DarwinSurvivor: will do, one moment
[00:48] <MirkoKa> jellow: no, completely different device formats
[00:48] <Fyodorovna> jellow, the release yes not sure when this started. :)
[00:48] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: I just want this error to go away to I can work, do you have any idea what prints it?  What daemon I can turn off?
[00:48] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: ok, see if the live-cd works. if it doesn't there may be some incompatible or possibly broken hardware
[00:49] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: It's not a hardware issue.  I've seen this same issue on other machines and it's fine.  I just want it to stop bitching at me.
[00:49] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: it mentioned sdb, if you have a 2nd harddrive of a usb-drive or flash-card reader installed, unplug it
[00:50] <sront> heyho: my sources.list seems to be broken cuz of a malformed line somewhere. so my sources cant be read. any way to fix that?
[00:50] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: There is no second drive.  Every distro showed an sdb on this though.
[00:51] <KM0201> sront: pastebin your  /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:51] <OerHeks> gimpy15, sound lika a LVM issue then?
[00:51] <KM0201> !pastebin | sront
[00:51] <Surlent777> DarwinSurvivor: you guessed correctly. Suppose I'll have to rebuild it piece-by-piece until it works
[00:51] <gimpy15> OerHeks: LVM lies above the devices.  It certainly would not create a magical sdb.
[00:51] <jellow> MirkoKa: do I need and parameters with dd?
[00:52] <Surlent777> DarwinSurvivor: thanks for pointing me in the right direction, at least
[00:52] <DarwinSurvivor> spicyWith: also pastebin the *exact* error message(s) you are getting
[00:53] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: if there is a flash-card reader, that will sometimes show up as sdb
[00:53] <rxerla> q
[00:53] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: Could be in, but it's empty.  I couldn't care less about the meaningless error, I just want to to stop clogging up my terminal.
[00:54] <MirkoKa> jellow: no, it's really not possible. you only can dd an image (cd, dvd, usb, floppy, hdd, etc)  to an exactly fittting target device. not to  mention, that a usb disk/stick and a cd/dvd are booted differently. what are you trying to do?
[00:54] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: pastebin lsmod. if we can remove the module that loads the reader, it may get rid of the messages
[00:54] <SolarisBoy> is it trying to read it as a lvm volume?
[00:55] <DarwinSurvivor> !usbinstall | jellow

[00:55] <lauratika> i cant change background picture at login. itry lightdm and changes wont stay.when i run in terminal lightdm it says Failed to use bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager, do you have appropriate permissions?

[00:57] <SolarisBoy> hwq001: you can do the file command and the file as an argument and confirm
[00:58] <hwq001> :solarisboy could you explain  details??
[00:59] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: http://dpaste.com/740582/

[00:59] <SolarisBoy> hwq001: file <filename>
[00:59] <SolarisBoy> hwq001: it will tell you what type of file it is.
[01:00] <labyrinth> Hi, I'm setting up a 12.04 mirror for my community (school). This is the first time I've been a sysadmin for Linux for more than myself. I'm having trouble understanding how to apt-mirror the ubuntu-releases just for pangolin
[01:00] <SolarisBoy> you may need a differeent tool to read it depending on what it is.
[01:00] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: try rmmoding the usb_storage one
[01:00] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: also try the bluetooth one
[01:01] <hwq001> SolarisBoy: file command output says it is data
[01:01] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: bluetooth has deps which are in use
[01:01] <SolarisBoy> then its probably not for tar
[01:01] <SolarisBoy> if it were a tar archive it would say something similar to that.
[01:01] <anon_inFLuX> NOM.NOM.NOM.
[01:01] <ulkesh_> jellow, what OS are you using right now?
[01:01] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: Aren't these messages just going through syslog?
[01:01] <SolarisBoy> if it's data it is probably binary data or something hwq001
[01:02] <Buduk> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970092 << Care to assist ?
[01:02] <SolarisBoy> so tar wouldn't be the correct tool to extract/view it
[01:02] <hwq001> SolarisBoy: I can't extract it any more ?
[01:02] <DarwinSurvivor> gimpy15: probably
[01:02] <SolarisBoy> hwq001: a better question is how was it created?
[01:02] <DarwinSurvivor> labyrinth: have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror ?
[01:02] <SolarisBoy> you piped the output of tar to split
[01:02] <gimpy15> DarwinSurvivor: So I stopped rsyslog, what else does Ubuntu 12.04 have?
[01:03] <hwq001> SolarisBoy: I run " tar cvpf - somedir | split -b 50000m "
[01:03] <anon_inFLuX> who took my name inFLuX???????????????????????????????????
[01:03] <hwq001> created it
[01:03] <SolarisBoy> hwq001: thats not creating a file
[01:03] <anon_inFLuX> touch
[01:03] <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?
[01:04] <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?
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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?
[01:07] <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] <nhrfiport> Need help, after attempting to update to 12.04, I got bsod at some point. My machine could not reboot after that point
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <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] <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] <gaelfx> haha, fundamentally wong
[01:09] <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] <gaelfx> anon_inFLuX: what ubuntu version is what?
[01:09] <ThePendulum> Hmpf, my cursor has disappeared
[01:09] <SolarisBoy> hwq001: do it again correctly
[01:10] <anon_inFLuX> what release version is hwq001 useing
[01:10] <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] <SolarisBoy> why does that matter?
[01:11] <SolarisBoy> hes not using the command he is running correctly based on the link he posted
[01:11] <gaelfx> !who > anon_inFLuX
[01:11] <SolarisBoy> 'tar cvpf - somedir | split -b 50000m'
[01:11] <DarwinSurvivor> labyrinth: if the connection is slow and you can handle being 1-2 days behind, why not sneaker-net the updates over?
[01:11] <SolarisBoy> he needs to finish the command thats all
[01:11] <ThePendulum> How do I switch accounts using just the keyboard?
[01:12] <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!
[01:13] <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)?
[01:14] <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
[01:15] <Ben64> saves time, and resumable
[01:15] <SolarisBoy> yes it can
[01:15] <gaelfx> !enter
[01:15] <hwq001> SolarisBoy: not pron but manga
[01:15] <ThePendulum> DarwinSurvivor: I'm the only user awake at all anyway, hehe
[01:15] <SolarisBoy> hwq001: haha good one
[01:15] <SolarisBoy> so .. its pron...
[01:15] <gaelfx> !language | everyone
[01:15] <SolarisBoy> my bad
[01:15] <easypie> i see thinkpad laptop support on ubuntu hardware certified page but for 32bits. is there support for 64bit? because doesn't 32bit restrict to using less than 4gb on laptops?
[01:15] <hwq001> SolarisBoy: it is not porn,I hate adult content
[01:15] <SolarisBoy> right...
[01:15] <gimpy15> Mango pron?
[01:15] <anon_inFLuX> lmao
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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
 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
[01:17] <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.
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <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] <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
[01:20] <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!!
[01:21] <hwq001> for file, lftp is better than scp
[01:22] <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.
[01:23] <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....
[01:24] <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?
[01:25] <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.
[01:26] <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?
[01:27] <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
[01:28] <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
[01:29] <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
[01:30] <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
[01:31] <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.
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <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
[01:34] <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
[01:35] <pareshan> .
[01:35] <DarwinSurvivor> scott__: check out sound in the system settings dialog. Does everything appear normal in there (no errors, etc)
[01:36] <bobmeister> I was trying to get gnome shell themes working and totally butchered my x setup.  No boot except from recovery, no x, gdm, or other.  Any help?
[01:36] <pengw> 12.0 or 11.04 is better ?
[01:36] <pengw> i am using 11.04 currently
[01:36] <DarwinSurvivor> PhlowHome: is the sceen just black, or is the entire computer asleep?
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <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
[01:38] <caseymcgt> so eclipse works on 12.04 for evryone?
[01:38] <DarwinSurvivor> scott__: try banshee or rhythmbox and see if you get any sound.
[01:38] <DarwinSurvivor> scott__: also run "sudo ps aux | grep pulse" and tell me if anything shows up
[01:38] <systemd0wn> caseymcgt, So many other things are broken (for me) in 12.04 I haven't even gotten that far. Are you having issues?
[01:39] <scott__> DarwinSurvivor, Rhythmbox works
[01:39] <PhlowHome> caseymcgt, works for me
[01:39] <Carth|> MirkoKa: I went to the link you sent, and found Age of Empires 2, but not sure where to download. I see different Test results, but clicking on one doesn't launch the download.
[01:39] <DarwinSurvivor> scott__: pleaste pastebin the output of "sudo ps aux | grep pulse"
[01:39] <scott__> One moment please
[01:40] <bobmeister> DarwinSurvivor,  you see,  when ever i tried installing any package i got an error about dpkg not being able to configure gdm.   I tried uninstall then reinstall,  no luck.   Is there any way i can just reinstall gdm,  x,  and that jazz so i can actually boot without recovery?
[01:40] <systest> Can anyone point me to a doc on disabling Unity on 12.4? i.e. running generic Gnome3
[01:40] <L3top> caseymcgt: I am not sure anything works for everyone... what problem are you having? pengw If you didn't like 11.10 I don't know that you will enjoy 12.04... but better is an arbitrary term.
[01:40] <DarwinSurvivor> Carth|: that site does not allow you to download the game, it simply tells you if the game will run under wine (and what tweaks you may have to perform to make it do so)
[01:40] <scott__> http://pastebin.com/W6PTWeie
[01:40] <bazhang> !notunity | systest
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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.
[01:44] <DarwinSurvivor> bobmeister: please pastebin the dpkg errors
[01:44] <n00bBot> absakdhasjdad
[01:44] <ThePendulum> Flash isn't working on my laptop Ubuntu 12.04 installation, while it appears to be installed. Any ideas?
[01:45] <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
[01:46] <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?
[01:47] <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?
[01:48] <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.
[01:49] <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] <ThePendulum> + already
[01:49] <hrezaei> Hi People!
[01:50] <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] <MirkoKa> PCF is a bitmal font format
[01:51] <L3top> Carth|: ls /media
[01:51] <ThePendulum> Carth|: That folder is in the system root, not your home folder
[01:51] <hokachu> If there is anyone who can help me with the super basics of even installing 12.04 please send me a message. I'm using a laptop that doesn't have a cd-rom. I have a bootable USB stick already. After installing it refuses to boot and gives errors.
[01:52] <hrezaei> Can anyone explain me,How terminal interact with an assembly program?
[01:52] <abyss42> DarwinSurvivor, pcf file = profile config file
[01:53] <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..
[01:54] <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?
[01:55] <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
[01:56] <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?
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <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.
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <quixotedon> well, that's worth it so far.. :)
[02:02] <ponrajuganesh> thanks a lot SolarisBoy GG111 ThePendulum
[02:02] <ChogyDan> scott__: are you using unity?
[02:02] <SolarisBoy> GG111: =) thanks
[02:02] <ThePendulum> scott__: Does the sound work, though?
[02:02] <SolarisBoy> ponrajuganesh: welcome x10
[02:02] <scott__> ChogyDan, unity 3d
[02:02] <maca1> Puppy is veeery light
[02:02] <ThePendulum> ponrajuganesh: Np, if you need further details, feel free to ask
[02:02] <Carth|> L3top: ThePendulum: I tried "wine /media/AGE2_X1/aocsetup.exe" and got back "Bad EXE format for Z:\media\AGE2_X1\aocsetup.exe"
[02:02] <zhxk> hello, whats password to ubuntu 12.04lts install iso
[02:02] <quixotedon> anybody join the #ubuntuclassroom or anyboey knows how to join, if still available?
[02:02] <scott__> ThePendulum, yes it does
[02:02] <quixotedon> zhxk: no password i think
[02:02] <MirkoKa> ponrajuganesh: extreme flexibility, like LEGO box, adjustablte to all kind of situations, adaptable, morphable, not dependent on end-of-life time, not dependent on company sales figures, etc
[02:02] <scott__> I'm missing my sound menu, but I can adjust the sound with the laptop buttons
[02:02] <ChogyDan> scott__: have you tried reseting the ....
[02:03] <f0x> i have problems with ati after activating propietary driver boot lags la 3-4 mins or so
[02:03] <bazhang> quixotedon, #ubuntu-classroom
[02:03] <SolarisBoy> MirkoKa: nice reference @ legos =)
[02:03] <ThePendulum> scott__: Ubuntu 12.04, that is?
[02:03] <scott__> ChogyDan, I've tried rebooting and logging out
[02:03] <scott__> ThePendulum, yes
[02:03] <PhlowHome> omg eclipse tooltips are no longer black on black... praise the lord
[02:03] <ChogyDan> scott__: what's it called, the theme thing
[02:03] <ponrajuganesh> ThePendulum: whether could you give me some like scheduler or system level difference ?
[02:03] <DarwinSurvivor> scott__: sorry, it got lost in the scrollback. looks ok to me.
[02:03] <quixotedon> bazhang: any requirements to join it? or is aimed for newbies??
[02:03] <DanaG> Say, aside from compiling my own kernel, is there any way to get the "USB Debug Port" support (such as CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP)?
[02:03] <ChogyDan> scott__: maybe that's it, the theme
[02:03] <scott__> I'm using Ambiance
[02:03] <bazhang> quixotedon, free to join for anyone
[02:03] <littleboyblue> Anyone know if there is an addon or option in Firefox to reduce eye strain?
[02:03] <zhxk> quixotedon,  it have a password for ubuntu
[02:03] <ChogyDan> scott__: try switching to a different one, and then back to ambiance
[02:04] <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] <SolarisBoy> *no
[02:04] <MirkoKa> SolarisBoy: that's actually how I explain linux to normal users. linux == lego, windows == playmobil :-D
[02:04] <zhxk> hello, whats password to user ubuntu for ubuntu 12.04lts install iso
[02:04] <GraemeLion> littleboyblue: Have you checked the #firefox channel?
[02:04] <bazhang> zhxk, is this Ultimate Ubuntu or something like that?
[02:04] <scott__> No luck :(
[02:04] <SolarisBoy> MirkoKa: lol @ playmobile
[02:04] <finish06> what is the point of a GPG key after adding a source to my /etc/apt/source.list file???
[02:04] <SolarisBoy> MirkoKa: more like the little army men...
[02:04] <littleboyblue> GraemeLion: thanks
[02:04] <bazhang> zhxk, stop repeating. there is no password
[02:04] <zhxk> bazhang, it have a password
[02:05] <jc_> thanks so much guys
[02:05] <GraemeLion> littleboyblue: No problem.. that said, I'd do a google search for extensions, those usually have all kinds of options to customize firefox!
[02:05] <zhxk> i need to enter a password when i double click install ubuntu icon
[02:05] <scott__> I may log out and try Unity 2d and see if it's still missing
[02:05] <jeffrash> why is the software center so SSSLLLOOOWWW?
[02:05] <GraemeLion> jeffrash: 11.10 or 12.04?
[02:05] <zhxk> bazhang, i get the iso from http://www.ubuntu.com.cn/
[02:05] <jeffrash> 12.04 but it was slow in 11.10
[02:06] <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] <young> k
[02:07] <ThePendulum> ponrajuganesh: I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't fully understand what you mean (could be me, it's getting late)
[02:07] <GraemeLion> quixotedon: Please do report those, it's helpful to us.
[02:07] <SolarisBoy> thats cool at speedy support
[02:07] <zhxk> hello, whats password to user ubuntu for ubuntu 12.04lts install iso from http://www.ubuntu.com.cn/
[02:07] <ChogyDan> scott__: maybe check if indicator-sound is installed
[02:07] <ponrajuganesh> I mean more system level details ThePendulum the one in linux and not in windows
[02:07] <diamonds> http://hastebin.com/raw/jafixoxatu
[02:07] <diamonds> any suggestions?
[02:08] <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 :)
[02:09] <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] <DarwinSurvivor> zhxk: *where* does it require a password (boot, login, install, etc)?
[02:10] <diamonds> ChogyDan: I'm not sure
[02:10] <zhxk> darwinsurvivor, i double click install ubuntu icon, it requires me a password for user ubuntu
[02:10] <diamonds> where can I list devices?
[02:10] <L3top> diamonds: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[02:10] <diamonds> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03
[02:11] <DarwinSurvivor> zhxk: please reboot and select "check this disk for errors" from the menu, your install disk may be corrupted
[02:11] <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?
[02:11] <zhxk> root_coma, when i type sudo umount -l /isodevice , it requires me a password also
[02:11] <L3top> diamonds: try sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver  and reboot
[02:12] <root_coma> Do you have root on the system you are on right now?
[02:12] <diamonds> L3top: am I going to fuck myself with this? :p
[02:12] <DarwinSurvivor> jbwiv___: run "find ~ -name \*.desktop > 1" then lock one, then run "find ~ -name \*.desktop > 2" then run "diff 1 2"
[02:12] <L3top> No.
[02:12] <xangua> !language | diamonds
[02:12] <diamonds> kk, will do
[02:12] <ThePendulum> ponrajuganesh: So you are considering to switch to Linux/Ubuntu?
[02:12] <trism> jbwiv___: only the name of the file is stored, gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites;
[02:12] <zhxk> darwinsurvivor, no corrupt, i downloaded the file and want a harddisk-install
[02:12] <diamonds> xangua: noted
[02:12] <ponrajuganesh> ya ThePendulum
[02:12] <L3top> It is the generic Intel graphics accelleration driver diamonds.
[02:12] <root_coma> zhxk, Why can't you burn a cd, then boot from that
[02:13] <zhxk> root_coma, no cd burner
[02:13] <L3top> diamonds:
[02:13] <zhxk> root_coma, no cd burner, either cd reader
[02:13] <L3top> sorry diamonds what version of ubuntu are you on? That is for precise
[02:13] <sary> zhxk: from where did you download the iso file ? also have you checked the iso hashes with md5sum !
[02:13] <hnsz> zhxk: usb?
[02:13] <phoenix_firebrd> i am trying to install virtualbox, i am getting a package conflict, it wants to remove "grub-gfxpayload-lists". The status of the package is broken. Is this package an essential one?
[02:14] <L3top> diamonds: all other versions should be libva-driver-i965 I believe
[02:14] <ThePendulum> ponrajuganesh: It's worth it. My experience so far, is that most Linux distros manage to get more out of a system than Windows ever could
[02:14] <zhxk> sary,  download from homepage to ubuntu
[02:14] <zhxk> hnsz, have use, no cdrom
[02:14] <ponrajuganesh> ThePendulum:  :)
[02:14] <diamonds> L3top: oh I'm on 11.1
[02:15] <diamonds> Is there a way to upgrade easily, or must I d/l new install cd?
[02:15] <churly> n
[02:15] <xangua> !upgrade | diamonds
[02:15] <xangua> just use the update manager
[02:15] <L3top> unsure on that one diamonds, it is one or the other... you can apt-cache policy libva-driver-i965    if there is no result it is the other.
[02:15] <churly> Testing irssi, could someone type my name in channel?
[02:15] <GraemeLion> chruly
[02:16] <GraemeLion> Should show up as yellow
[02:16] <diamonds> OK I'll use update manager
[02:16] <zhxk> darwinsurvivor, HELP ME
[02:16] <diamonds> is it going to DISABLE MY MEDIBUNTU PACKAGES?
[02:16] <churly> You mispelled my name, I'm deeply offended.
[02:16] <diamonds> sorry, that was quite irksome last update
[02:17] <GraemeLion> diamonds: The upgrade does disable all non-ubuntu repos, IIRC
[02:17] <sary> churly:
[02:17] <GraemeLion> IT definitely disables PPAs
[02:17] <ThePendulum> ponrajuganesh: The only valid arguments against Linux is the lack of games and graphical applications
[02:17] <root_coma> zhxk, it sounds like you don't have permission to run the installer in the os you are currently running. You should either get the password to sudo or you should make a bootable usb and install from that.
[02:17] <churly> Many thanks
[02:17] <zhxk> darwinsurvivor, HELP ME, the password to livecd user ubuntu
[02:17] <diamonds> where's the check box to prevent this behavior?
[02:17] <diamonds> perhaps I'll see one when I click upgrade
[02:17] <pmp6nl> I assume its a good idea to enable SSL before using Webmin over the internet...?
[02:17] <L3top> !help zhxk
[02:17] <ponrajuganesh> hmmm but that wont be a problem with me ThePendulum i wont play games
[02:17] <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. Any clue how to setup a static ip that does not conflict with resolv.conf????
[02:17] <gaelfx> where can I download the source for unity?
[02:17] <diamonds> ubuntudev cares about UX, so it'll be there
[02:18]  * diamonds keeps telling himself that
[02:18] <wylde> !patience | zhxk
[02:18] <ThePendulum> So, anyone on the Flash issue?
[02:18] <diamonds> zhxk: what are you seeing?
[02:18] <GraemeLion> gaelfx: try "apt-get source unity"
[02:18] <L3top> what exactly is the flash issue ThePendulum
[02:18] <gaelfx> zhxk: the password is either blank or 'password'
[02:18] <sary> zhxk: How did you burn the iso to the usb !
[02:19] <DarwinSurvivor> zhxk: If you do not have a cdrom, the recommended install method is via USB https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[02:19] <zhxk> gaolfx aure you sure?
[02:19] <diamonds> zhxk: tias
[02:19] <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] <GraemeLion> gaelfx: That's core unity, though, you may need other packages as well
[02:20] <gaelfx> !liveusb | sary
[02:21] <gaelfx> sary: you can even do a full install to a USB ;)
[02:21] <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?
[02:22] <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.
[02:23] <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
[02:24] <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] <diamonds> ok well it says on the site I just rerun the command to get the .list, update, and install
[02:24] <xangua> diamonds: because it's a third party repository
[02:25] <sary> zhxk: check the hashes of the iso image , http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[02:25] <ThePendulum> xangua: Hehe, thought so, np
[02:25] <L3top> diamonds: here is a terrible hack that will automatically add gpg keys for all your sources: gpgs=$(apt-get update |& grep -s NO_PUBKEY | awk '{ print $NF }' | cut -c 9-16); if [ -n $gpgs ]; then for gpg in $gpgs; do gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys $gpg; gpg --export --armor $gpg | apt-key add -; done; fi
[02:25] <sary> gaelfx: isn't tha cool :) i allways keep my usb around just in case .
[02:25] <diamonds> xangua: well it sucks vis-a-vis user experience.  Upgrade and you can't watch DVDs anymore ≠ good UX
[02:25] <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
[02:26] <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] <gaelfx> sary: my main box is running from a full install to a USB3.0 flash disk, and /home is mounted on a normal hdd
[02:27] <GraemeLion> diamonds: So the user experience is weighted towards the upgrade working :)
[02:27] <Firefishe> I overwrote my bootloader when I reinstalled win7.   I'm using ubuntu oneric as a rescue live cd.  How do I mount the other OS in it's own userspace so I can reinstall grub?
[02:27] <diamonds> GraemeLion: "working" ;)
[02:27] <GraemeLion> diamonds: Hehe. Well... :D
[02:27] <diamonds> for me, if I can't watch a movie my box isn't "working" :)
[02:27] <gaelfx> sary: very handy if I want to switch OSes, I can just switch USBs
[02:27] <xangua> diamonds: you are not forced to use medibuntu to see comercial dvd's if that is what you mean
[02:27] <DarwinSurvivor> !grub | Firefishe
[02:27] <xangua> !dvd | diamonds
[02:28] <sary> gaelfx: Nice , handy indeed.
[02:28] <diamonds> xangua: is there a set of packages I can install that will play dvds and not get disabled on upgrade?
[02:28] <DarwinSurvivor> diamonds: there is no need to use medibuntu for dvd's, mp3's, etc.
[02:28] <imaginal> Where should I go to ask mythbuntu questions?
[02:28] <DarwinSurvivor> !libdvdcss
[02:28] <diamonds> if so, I'm sold (mostly not dvds mind you, but I play them sometimes and other movies don't work etiher)
[02:28] <DarwinSurvivor> diamonds: ^^
[02:29] <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] <GraemeLion> gaelfx: apt-get source should throw it into a directory for you.
[02:29] <DarwinSurvivor> diamonds: I've never had them get disabled.
[02:29] <diamonds> ok, thank you
[02:29] <sary> imaginal: mythbuntu ! you can searsh for channels in freenode using alis .. do /msg alis list help  .
[02:29] <diamonds> hmm... why did I start using medibuntu?
[02:30] <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
[02:31] <xangua> diamonds:  there is as you were told...
[02:31] <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] <GraemeLion> diamonds: That sounds like a good idea :D   Submit it : brainstorm.ubuntu.com :D
[02:31] <diamonds> xangua: oh? sorry I must have missed that.  I didn't get one last time iirc
[02:31] <diamonds> dr_willis: maybe that's the ticket! :)
[02:32] <sary> imaginal: so you could search for an example mythbuntu
[02:32] <L3top> well... first of all... some of those addresses are going to change, to reflect the codename... and I expect their keys will as well
[02:32] <DarwinSurvivor> !brainstorm | diamonds
[02:32] <L3top> but dont quote me
[02:32] <sary> imaginal: /msg alis list *mythbuntu
[02:32] <sary> *
[02:32] <gaelfx> GraemeLion: thanks :D
[02:32] <GraemeLion> gaelfx: no problem!
[02:32] <sary>  /msg alis list *mythbuntu*
[02:33] <diamonds> I'm beginning to understand better, thank you
[02:33] <sary> excuse the ty-po.
[02:34] <gaelfx> GraemeLion: from the apt-get, I gather that the current version used in Precise is 5.0?
[02:34] <quixotedon> if we want to join ubuntu open week, should it be just joining the #ubuntu-classroom ??
[02:34] <GraemeLion> gaelfx: I've got 5.10.0
[02:35] <GraemeLion> gaelfx: If you do 'bzr branch lp:unity' you'll get the head of the code
[02:35] <quixotedon> is java enabled in 12.04?? I don't find any information concerning this and it's painful to have it disabled in previous version.. :(
[02:36] <bazhang> !java | quixotedon
[02:36] <DarwinSurvivor> quixotedon: java is going through a cluster-f#$#@ right now with oracle remove linux support. best to try openjdk
[02:37] <AVP> using wine and it said "The file '/home/AVP/Downloads/Opera_1000_int_Setup.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit." what do i do to make it work?
[02:37] <gaelfx> GraemeLion: thanks again
[02:37] <L3top> !openjdk-7-jre
[02:37] <DarwinSurvivor> !permissions | AVP
[02:37] <quixotedon> i tried openjdk before but seems that any java enabled websites are not accessible
[02:38] <imaginal> sary: apology accepted. :) Thanks for the right direction
[02:38] <DarwinSurvivor> quixotedon: OH, java APPLETS! That requires addionational packages
[02:38] <napalm54> quixotedon: Do you have an example?
[02:38] <ThePendulum> Any idea why compizconfig doesn't seem to affect anything?
[02:38] <DarwinSurvivor> quixotedon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Browser_plugin
 yes, how do i?
[02:38] <L3top> then follow the link bazhang posted
[02:38] <ThePendulum> Tried to set the icon size... nothing
[02:39] <napalm54> Is there any reason why OpenJDK is not in the Ubuntu Software Center?
[02:39] <napalm54> OpenJDK 7*
[02:39] <DarwinSurvivor> AVP: easiest way is to right-click it -> permissions -> executable (check)
[02:39] <dr_willis> ThePendulum:  running unity2d by mistake,or not using compoiz, also seen it where for some odd reason a logout/backin is needed tomaake changes take effect
[02:39] <DarwinSurvivor> Nepherius: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
[02:40] <stercor> Just upgraded to 12.04.  My toolbar is gone.  How can I get it back?
[02:40] <DarwinSurvivor> Nepherius: if it doesn't work, try "sudo apt-get update" first
[02:40] <dr_willis> !java
[02:40] <stercor> There is no CLI
[02:40] <dr_willis> stercor:   what toolbar?
[02:40] <ThePendulum> dr_willis: I logged in in 3d specifically, and it still didn't seem to have any effect. Anyway, any way to change the icon size in 2d mode?
[02:40] <quixotedon> i forgot the service used.. cause it was months ago..
[02:41] <quixotedon> somehow from famous name
[02:41] <dr_willis> ThePendulum:  theressssssssssssssss some unity2d tweak tools i never use 2d.
[02:41] <stercor> The one on the left-hand side of the screen with the apps such as, firefox, cli, libreoffice
[02:41] <dr_willis> silly keybord
[02:41] <AVP> DarwinSurvivor> where do i see that
[02:41] <dr_willis> stercor:  thats the 'launcher'
[02:41] <ThePendulum> dr_willis: I honestly can't tell the difference
[02:41] <quixotedon> i joined a class online but it didn't load to the class, then i decided to access the class through win
[02:41] <quixotedon> and no problem at all
[02:41] <khmerog> what does everyone think of the new ubuntu>?
[02:42] <PhlowHome> man, ubuntu is not feeling snappy...
[02:42] <GraemeLion> khmerog: I think it's absolutely amazing, tbh
[02:42] <sary> imaginal: thanks :) , anytime.
[02:42] <gaelfx> !poll | khmerog
[02:42] <stercor> oh...how do I get the launcher back, then?
[02:42] <dr_willis> stercor:  try making a new user see if the desktop works normally for them.
[02:42] <gaelfx> oops, wrong one
[02:42] <PhlowHome> feels like everything takes twice as long to launch
[02:42] <DarwinSurvivor> AVP: right click /home/AVP/Downloads/Opera_1000_int_Setup.exe
[02:42] <stercor> dr_willis: thanks will do,
[02:42] <khmerog> kk
[02:42] <GraemeLion> khmerog: But , it depends on why you ask :)  Why do you ask? :D
[02:42] <dr_willis> stercor:  if it does then you may wangt to reset unity for the problem user
[02:42] <ThePendulum> khmerog: Unity has improved a LOT
[02:42] <PhlowHome> or, apps are only showing after the launcher bar animation is done
[02:43] <khmerog> i asked becuase..my laptop is a pentium 4.. so i went with lubuntu becuase its less visual demanding
[02:43] <GraemeLion> ThePendulum: Honestly, that's my biggest surprise.  I liked Unity before, saw potential in it.  Now that potential is being met, and in spades.
[02:43] <khmerog> just seeing what i am missing out on :(
[02:43] <dr_willis> the 12.04 HUD feature is neat:. andeasy to overlook. ;)
[02:43] <GraemeLion> khmerog: Might I suggest unity-2d , if you like unity but don't have the speed.  Lubuntu is a great release , though
[02:43] <gaelfx> khmerog: sorry about that, I was just trying to point out that that's not exactly a support question. I do like 12.04 a lot more than 11.10 though
[02:43] <ThePendulum> GraemeLion: It surprised me even more, I never saw potential in it until I faced it in 12.04
[02:43] <AVP> DarwinSurvivor: i have done that already but it didn't work
[02:44] <quixotedon> well i still don't really know how to use jdk though i have it installed
[02:44] <GraemeLion> ThePendulum: I just saw things that suggested it was very iterative.  Like "get it work", and then.. "get it work well."  I think we're now on "get it work well AND customizable"
[02:44] <dr_willis> i have noticed some odd issue  where my whole system slows down after being up for a long time. in unity and gnome-shell,   testing lubuntu right now to see if it does it there as well.
[02:44] <khmerog> i see...Graemelion are u saying i can get the new ubuntu and use unity 2d which is less hardware demanding?
[02:44] <napalm54> JDK should also come with a JRE, the JDK is for developing java applications.
[02:45] <khmerog> where can i get a tutorial or more info on that
[02:45] <gaelfx> khmerog: certainly you could, but is there any reason you want to stop using lubuntu?
[02:45] <quixotedon> napalm54: should i install both jdk and jre??
[02:45] <dr_willis> khmerog:  just install the unity-2d package i belive
[02:45] <GraemeLion> khmerog: It couldn't hurt to try it :D  I'd do an "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and give it a try if you want.  If you want.  If it's working for you, I doubt you're missing tons
[02:45] <OerHeks> dr_willis, i noticed a higher cpu use > uptime  04:45:15 up 4 days,  8:17,  1 user,  load average: 1.33, 1.20, 1.10
[02:45] <GraemeLion> khmerog: Or rather, yeah, try just installing unity-2d
[02:45] <napalm54> quixotedon: If you want to do development with Java, the JDK.  If you only use java application then just the JRE
[02:46] <naj42181> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and find myself having to restart my internet connection every 30 seconds. any help?
[02:46] <trism> khmerog: you will need gnome-session as well, if you want to actually log in
[02:46] <quixotedon> napalm54: ah, that's quite an enlightenment.. :)
[02:46] <dr_willis> OerHeks:  i cant seem to find any thing hogging the cpu. at leasgt not tht iv noticced in htop.
[02:46] <khmerog> thats true gaelfx but i find lubuntu to be boring looking..sorry
[02:46] <khmerog> one thing i like about linux is the fact there is many OS to try out
[02:46] <napalm54> naj42181: I have an issue with a laptop not connecting, the easy fix for me was power cycling the router/modem
[02:46] <DarwinSurvivor> AVP: please pastebin your terminal output
[02:47] <napalm54> quixotedon: haha thanks :)
[02:47] <OerHeks> dr_willis, me too
[02:47] <DarwinSurvivor> !pastebin | AVP
[02:47] <gaelfx> khmerog: I would agree with that assessment
[02:47] <dr_willis> khmerog:  been testing out lubuntu+Awn lately. just enough extraas to make it nice.
[02:47] <quixotedon> napalm54: i searched for jre in software centre and they are both installed on my laptop
 none of my other devices are having problems with the internet, will power cycling still make an effect?
 it work
[02:48] <gaelfx> dr_willis: ever tried openbox+awn? I ask purely out of curiosity as I'm considering giving it a go myself
[02:48] <napalm54> naj42181: For me, every other device didnt have any issue, power cycling fixed it for my laptop
[02:48] <quixotedon> do we just join #ubuntu-classroom to join ubuntu open week sessions??
[02:48] <dr_willis> gaelfx:  should work also. ive don e it befor
[02:48] <napalm54> naj42181: It may not work, but it may also work.  Not sure.
[02:48] <DarwinSurvivor> AVP: it worked? cool
[02:48] <trism> gaelfx: lubuntu+awn technically is openbox+awn
[02:48] <DarwinSurvivor> AVP: what did you do differently?
[02:48] <jrib> quixotedon: yep
[02:49] <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
 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?
[02:50] <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
[02:51] <ymasory> i've already disabled it in gconf-editor and using the settings gui
[02:51] <khmerog>  /join #lubuntu
 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] <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
[02:52] <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?
[02:53] <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] <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.
[02:54] <jrib> !sudo | myhero
[02:54] <napalm54> ubottu is cool
[02:54] <ChogyDan> quixotedon: are you trying to run games or graphical applications with java?
[02:54] <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?
[02:55] <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
[02:56] <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] <YoungChen> is freebsd more difficult to use contrast to linux?
[02:56] <gaelfx> napalm54: ask it ;)
[02:56] <myhero> the data driver is for fedora mandriva and opensuse...can it be installed on ubuntu ?
[02:56] <xangua> !ot | Young
[02:56] <napalm54> !Three Laws of Robotics
[02:57] <bazhang> napalm54, stop that
[02:57] <dr_willis> myhero:  we  cant really tell.. it depends on a lot of thingss
[02:57] <Young> is freebsd more difficult to use contrast to ubuntu?

[02:57] <bazhang> Young, thats off topic here
[02:57] <Young> ok...
[02:57] <Quantum_Ion> Young, FreeBSD just takes more configuration and it's mostly used for servers
[02:58] <cleric_preston> Hey guys I installed Ubuntu and now I want to install Win7 alongiside, how do I burn the iso file to palm pre since it's like a USB?
[02:58] <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?
[02:59] <KBentley57> anything special required to update ubuntu server to 12.04?
[02:59] <cleric_preston> J2: Well yeah I can format it, i used unetbootin but it hangs at 51%.
[02:59] <Young> which command should i type that i can speak to someone like this:

[03:00] <J2> cleric_preston, You don't just have a USB lying around somewhere?
[03:00] <myhero> sorry i got disconnected
[03:00] <cleric_preston> J2: I do, but it's 2 GB and the win7 file is 3.3GB.
[03:00] <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
[03:01] <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....^^
[03:02] <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
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <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)
[03:05] <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.
[03:06] <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] <diamonds> "For Ubuntu 9.04 (Karmic Koala) and Newer (10.04LTS Lucid Lynx, 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, 11.04 Natty Narwhal) "
[03:06] <Gunz4MiPPle> is ffmpeg still without mp3 support or did they fix it
[03:06] <DarwinSurvivor> diamonds: either way, we're getting off topic here, so we can continue the discussion in the comments section, the mailing list or #brainstorm, you pick which one :)
[03:07] <dr_willis> Gunz4MiPPle:  if its not inluded - it would most likely bee for legal reasons
[03:07] <diamonds> #brainstorm is empty
[03:07] <Gunz4MiPPle> i used to have to run this complicated involved script
[03:07] <DarwinSurvivor> diamonds: oops, my bad that's #ubuntu-brainstorm :P
[03:07] <L3top> I again think that re-enabling ppas may not be possible in circumstances where the <distro> changes, as I believe the keys will be different... though I am not sure.
[03:08] <naj42181> #ubuntu gael: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 (rev 5f)
[03:08] <L3top> s/distro/codename/
[03:08] <GraemeLion> L3top: Programmatically, it shouldn't be that difficult.  add-apt-repository does all that now automatically.
[03:08] <gaelfx> just noticed that the terminal hotkey for switching tabs conflicts with irssi's hotkey for switching chats :S
[03:08] <DarwinSurvivor> L3top: that could very well be.
[03:08] <naj42181> gaelfx: 04:00.5 Ethernet controller: JMicron Technology Corp. JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)
[03:08] <GraemeLion> L3top: So if the concern is automatically doing something that approves trust, we already do it :P
[03:08] <DarwinSurvivor> gaelfx: use Esc, # to switch in irssi then (that's what I do)
[03:09] <naj42181> gaelfx: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 (rev 5f)
[03:11] <gaelfx> DarwinSurvivor: nice, thanks :D
[03:11] <Gunz4MiPPle> naj42181: did you try running restriced drivers
[03:12] <Gunz4MiPPle> err additional drivers
[03:12] <Young> hi all
[03:12] <naj42181> gunz4mipple: no, how would i go about doing that? i'm not a total noob but this is my first time trying to run linux since college
[03:12] <omac>  hey yng
[03:13] <Gunz4MiPPle> naj42181: its in the dash if yer running unity
[03:13] <systemd0wn> Question, Just installed 12.04 (fresh). After install, goes to reboot and hangs. Just sits after "Asking all remaining processes to terminate..."
[03:13] <quixotedon> http://askubuntu.com/q/129059/59010 is a link to question i asked about hibernation error messages.. :)
[03:13] <quixotedon> napalm54: i just installed icedtea java plugin, what next?
[03:14] <dcv> hi , im using using ubuntu 12.04 on Dell xps 14 . The issue is that even though I have a nvidia card, the additional driver menu is not showing the proprietary driver needed ie showing that there is no nvidia card
[03:14] <napalm54> quixotedon: Go to a website where you were having problems with the java applet loading
[03:14] <gaelfx> naj42181: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1424177 have a look at that, maybe their instructions will work
[03:14] <omac> sysdwn ...reboot now
[03:14] <L3top> dcv: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[03:15] <naj42181> gaelfx: thanks, ill read up on that
[03:15] <dcv> L3top:  the card is not shown there
[03:15] <quixotedon> napalm54: okay, i'll have to join a webinar session, but i don't think that's available now, should i report you later soon after i find one? :)
[03:15] <gaelfx> naj42181: btw, are you talking about connecting to a wireless network or a 3G/4G network?
[03:15] <omac> sysdwn what hw r u running 12.04 on?
[03:15] <dcv> L3top: it is showing only the intel cadr
[03:15] <naj42181> gaelfx: wireless network
[03:16] <napalm54> quixotedon: Well I am guessing other java applets were not loading if that one was not.
[03:16] <L3top> dcv: You may have to disable your onboard card in bios
[03:16] <napalm54> quixotedon: So I would try out a few java applets and see if they load
[03:16] <naj42181> gunz4mipple: i found a system test in the dash?
[03:16] <dcv> L3top:  ok
[03:16] <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?
[03:16] <quixotedon> napalm54: okay, will inform you soon
[03:16] <shadykhan> any way to install xfce without xubuntu?
[03:17] <xangua> !minimal | shadykhan
[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] <aeon-ltd> roasted: you can do similar things for the halt command (which is essentially the same as shutdown -h)
[03:17] <fishcooker> hello fellas
[03:17] <fishcooker> i've /home
[03:18] <fishcooker> but i can't access my home directory again
[03:18] <pengw> apt-get install xface
[03:18] <pengw> you can do that
[03:18] <fishcooker> there is a folder name ".ecryptfs"
[03:18] <xangua> !info xfce4
[03:18] <xangua> and install xfce4 shadykhan
[03:18] <fishcooker> AFAIK  i've lost my home directory
[03:18] <mortal_> hey guys does whole disk encryption still require the alternate installer?
[03:19] <naj42181> gunz4mipple: nothing comes up when i run additional drivers, says none are installed and shows a black page
[03:19] <fishcooker> yes i've encrypted the home directory
[03:19] <Draton> Hey guys, I was just working w/ Fyodorovna on a boot problem.  I chroot'd into my ubuntu system part. but it doesn't seem to want to install grub
[03:19] <Draton> bails out w/ the error "error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)"
[03:19] <omac> shutdown -P now
[03:21] <omac> rtfm grub update
[03:21] <Draton> already tried omac, same error ;)
[03:21] <gaelfx> holy cow, openbox is AWESOME
[03:22] <ohmac> Pear Linux is sexy.
[03:22] <ohmac> SEXY
[03:22] <Young> Young: where are you?
[03:22] <Gunz4MiPPle> naj42181: then yhou should follow the instructions on that webpage, it looks like that card is well supported, with drivers, but for somereason they are not in the repos
[03:23] <naj42181> gunz4mipple: gaelfx: i appreciate the help, ill try to manually install a new driver
[03:23] <rolo> someone pls help me install ubuntu 12.04 with a usb drive i tried yumi and shs thereit but it always goes to a fucking syslinux 4.03 copyright screen and stays there
[03:23] <gaelfx> naj42181: unfortunately, that's probably your best option. It'll probably make it to the repos eventually though
[03:24] <Gunz4MiPPle> i have to manually update my airlink dongle every time we get a new kernel
[03:24] <sary> Gunz4MiPPle: perhaps the drive is blaklisted!
[03:24] <Gunz4MiPPle> sary it could be!
[03:24] <sary> rolo: have you checked the iso hashes with md5sum !
[03:24] <quixotedon> napalm54: this is it: webex
[03:24] <omac> rolo:  usb-creator
[03:24] <gaelfx> Gunz4MiPPle: you could make a script if you're expecting a lot of kernel updates ;)
[03:25] <ClientAlive> why don't I have an .xinitrc? I have x installed on the system and now I need to do something with that file. It's not in ~/ or /etc   What the heck?
[03:25] <jrib> ClientAlive: why do you believe you need to do something with that file?
[03:25] <sary> Gunz4MiPPle: whats the driver for ?
[03:25] <Gunz4MiPPle> gaelfx: its only one command, but I always close my eyes in case its not going to compile
[03:25] <ClientAlive> bc I want my window manager to start when the computer boots
[03:26] <fishcooker> i've lost my home directory after using encryption on my home
[03:26] <fishcooker> TT
[03:26] <jrib> !encrypt | fishcooker
[03:26] <jrib> fishcooker: that page explains how to access an encrypted home
[03:26] <Gunz4MiPPle> sary: airlink wifi card which is a realtek 8192cu
[03:26] <quixotedon> napalm54: adobeconnect works fine!! wow!! that's another webinar that didn't work with me.. :)
[03:26] <omac> rolo: if you don't have iso, then use dd to extract it from cd
[03:26] <erujolc> doesnt seem to list to /etc/tmpfiles.d/
[03:26] <jrib> ClientAlive: you want to enable automatic log-in?
[03:27] <erujolc> list-> listen
[03:27] <fishcooker> jrib thanks
[03:27] <gaelfx> Gunz4MiPPle: ah, guess I never considered it to be so easy
[03:28] <jrib> ClientAlive: this site seems to have sane, detailed instructions for enabling automatic log-in: http://go4xpert.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-enable-auto-login-under-ubuntu.html
[03:28] <ClientAlive> jrib: no. It is a minimal, base system. I log in on the command line. If I add "exec awesome" to .xinitrc I understand that awesome wm will start when the system boots, after I log in.
[03:28] <fishcooker> jrib actually my home have gone
[03:28] <ClientAlive> but there is no .xinitrc
[03:28] <jrib> ClientAlive: that's not true.
[03:28] <fishcooker> i don't know where
[03:28] <fishcooker> but on my /home
[03:28] <ClientAlive> really?
[03:28] <gaelfx> I think I'm having a linuxgasm over openbox
[03:28] <jrib> fishcooker: it's encrypted (in /home/.encryptfs)
[03:29] <jrib> ClientAlive: yeah, what would make X start?
[03:29] <fishcooker> ok i will dig in
[03:29] <fishcooker> thanks jrib
[03:29] <ClientAlive> startx
[03:29] <escott> fishcooker, with encrypted home the ciphertext is stored in a hidden directory in /home/username/.ecryptfs. the keys and some config information are stored in /home/.ecryptfs, and the cleartext is mounted on top of the /home/username folder
[03:29] <jrib> ClientAlive: then yes, create a ~/.xinitrc and put whatever you want in there.  It will be executed when you issue "startx"
[03:29] <ClientAlive> I'm told that starx w/o any arg will look for .xinitrc and read from it
[03:30] <quixotedon> napalm54: thanks, i think they work fine now.. :)
[03:30] <omac> client alive: service lightdm restart
[03:30] <napalm54> quixotedon: No problem
[03:30] <adarax> hi everyone
[03:31] <fishcooker> but in my /home/username/ there is no ~/.ecryptfs
[03:31] <ClientAlive> well what good would that do me then? Then I need to script a way to run starx when I log in. Then I need to... to run that and so on and so on, what? add infinitum?
[03:31] <quixotedon> napalm54: ubuntu sure ROCKS!! and almost saying more goodbye to windows.. >:-)
[03:31] <fishcooker> escott:
[03:31] <escott> fishcooker, sorry its /home/username/.Private https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome
[03:31] <adarax> windows is shit
[03:31] <napalm54> quixotedon: Same, but sadly games run a lot better on Windows (for now)
[03:31] <ClientAlive> what's a guy gotta do?
[03:31] <adarax> get both
[03:32] <jrib> ClientAlive: umm, call startx in your login script...
[03:32] <zenocon> hi, i think i'm having openssl issues b/c of this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/986147 -- is there a good way to patch my 12.04 to get around it?
[03:32] <ClientAlive> my login script?
[03:32] <omac> if your net config isn't ok, the gui login takes about a minute or two display. b patient
[03:32] <jrib> ClientAlive: but really you should just use lightdm and have automatically log you in imo
[03:32] <fishcooker> sounds relieving escott
[03:32] <sm1th> can someone please tell me where i need to add conky to start up after my DE?
[03:32] <jrib> ClientAlive: for your shell, yes
[03:32] <sm1th> can someone please tell me where i need to add conky to start up after my DE? on startup preferably
[03:33] <Areckx> I am having problems using my iPhone as a webcam
[03:33] <escott> sm1th, run "gnome-session-properties" and add it there
[03:33] <missuse> anyone here know how to check which programm is using the internet ?
[03:33] <ClientAlive> If I understand what that means, I don't want to automatically log in. I want to have to enter the credentials. But what about this login script? What is that?
[03:33] <missuse> which app is downloading stuff fron the internet currently , how to check
[03:33] <young> smlth: $HOME/.conkyrc
[03:33] <jrib> ClientAlive: what shell are you using?
[03:33] <DarwinSurvivor> smit5898: depends on which DE you are using
[03:33] <ClientAlive> bash
[03:34] <Areckx> I have webcamviewer installed, I was unable to run a tarball of .60
[03:34] <sm1th> ok i found the start up applications thanks guys
[03:34] <Areckx> so I installed .57
[03:34] <gaelfx> any suggestions on a battery monitor applet for awn?
[03:35] <jrib> ClientAlive: you can use ~/.bash_profile and probably ~/.profile too.  You'll have to decide with how you want to deal with occasions where you don't actually want X to start...
[03:35] <Areckx> I have iwebcamera installed on my iPhone
[03:35] <omac> missuse netstat -a
[03:35] <ClientAlive> hmm...  ok. Do you happen to have a resource I can learn more?
[03:35] <Areckx> I followed the steps on this webpage http://www.kudanai.com/2010/11/howto-use-your-iphone-as-webcam-in.html
[03:36] <jrib> ClientAlive: not really.  If you want to learn about what your shell does on startup, you can check out « man bash ».  For this specific use-case, googling "bash_profile startx" will probably turn up some decent information
[03:36] <ClientAlive> right on
[03:36] <ClientAlive> thx man
[03:36] <young> i have joined several channels, how to exit some channels, by the way, i am using irssi, thanks!
[03:37] <netsmith2012> hi again
[03:37] <netsmith2012> I just wanted to thank the folks who responded to my question a couple hours ago.
[03:38] <netsmith2012> I had to be away from my desk. But when I returned I was able to scroll back and get the replies. Thanks again if you are still online.
[03:38] <sary> does look in the configuration line: does it show a wireless device with its driver name !
[03:38] <sm1th> Does anyone know if there is a free vnc that will do encrypted connections with enterprise vnc?
[03:38] <sary> Gunz4MiPPle: whats the output of lshw -C network .
[03:39] <NimeshNeema> sm1th: try Remmina Remote Desktop Client
[03:39] <DarwinSurvivor> !vnc | smit5898
[03:39] <DarwinSurvivor> !vnc | sm1th
[03:40] <DarwinSurvivor> oops, sorry smit5898
[03:40] <sary> I must be lag! no text ..
[03:40] <ClientAlive> jrib: man startx says that starx is a front end for xinit
[03:40] <jrib> ClientAlive: this is true
[03:40] <NimeshNeema> !FreeNX
[03:42] <Fudge> hi is there an op that could invite jamieipad to channel plz
[03:43] <mi3> !crunchbang
[03:43] <Fudge> !invite jamieipad
[03:47] <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. For that I need to do something to make that happen. The man page tells me .xinitrc is in /etc/X11/xinit which is not where everyone else on the internet says it is. Weird.
[03:47] <ClientAlive> sure enough, there it is
[03:47] <gaelfx> what command do you run for lm-sensors to check which sensors are available?
[03:47] <DarwinSurvivor> ClientAlive: /etc/X11/xinit is the system default. ~/.xinitrc is the user-specific override.
[03:47] <gaelfx> also how do you get a command to run in the background even after you've closed the terminal
[03:47] <gdeeble> gaelfx, if I remember right it's sensors-detect.
[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] <DarwinSurvivor> ClientAlive: the archlinux wiki has a very good page about launching X via different methods. They should all work on ubuntu as well https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_Boot
[03:47] <lurraca> Hi,
[03:48] <lurraca> I upgraded to 12.04 LTS and now my x wont start
[03:48] <ClientAlive> sweet!
[03:48] <lurraca> i can log using tty
[03:48] <DarwinSurvivor> lucian: step 1) pastebin the errors you are getting
[03:48] <DarwinSurvivor> lurraca: step 1) pastebin the errors you are getting
[03:48] <zivester> why do most DE's put the "bar" at the top?... I can understand unity is built that way because its like OSX sharing real estate... but xfce, gnome 2.x... why?
[03:48] <DarwinSurvivor> grr autocomplete :(
[03:49] <gaelfx> gdeeble: thanks
[03:49] <lurraca> that's the weird thing im not having any errors
[03:49] <hokachu> After installing my screen goes purple, and then black, and then does nothing. Anyone know how to fix that?
[03:49] <DarwinSurvivor> zivester: because that's the least "jarring" to new users. *most* DE's allow you to customize it (kde, lxde, xfce all allow it to change)
[03:49] <escott> gaelfx, you can disown it
[03:49] <motherbrain> does anybody out there no where I can get lsb-core what repo I am on ubuntu based machine but when I use synaptic or apt-get I don't see anything
[03:49] <sm1th> im sorry but what is pastebin?
[03:50] <newb__> Hi, really need some help here.
[03:50] <DarwinSurvivor> !pastebin | sm1th
[03:50] <newb__> Have been browsing trough the forums for past two days with no luck
[03:50] <escott> !details | newb__
[03:50] <ClientAlive> I need to think through this deal about times where I may not want my wm to start up. Not necessarily sure I can even think of such a case though.
[03:51] <gaelfx> escott: how's that?
[03:51] <motherbrain>  does anybody out there no where I can get lsb-core what repo I am on ubuntu based machine but when I use synaptic or apt-get I don't see anything
[03:51] <DarwinSurvivor> ClientAlive: if you use the first example of the archwiki page, X will only launch when you go into TTY1, you can use any other TTY normally
[03:52] <newb__> I have a problem with my dvd drive. PRobably a problem with the lens. I don't need the drive right now, so haven't replaced it.
[03:52] <nydel> would somebody help me with an issue? i'm running ubuntu on a laptop that has global media control keys. but i can't get them to work with the player i use.
[03:52] <newb__> I installed ubuntu from pen drive
[03:52] <Pritam> can anyone help me set-up my M-audio delta 1010lt sound card with Ubuntu 10.10
[03:52] <gaelfx> escott: I thought there was a character like & after the command that would allow it to stay running after terminal is closed
[03:52] <zivester> DarwinSurvivor: buy I've been asking myself why.. just because it's been that way?  I took a chance and moved it to the bottom recently... and because of apps like chrome, it makes the most sense to have it at the bottom (like windows).. much easier to navigate to the top right to close, or to go to a chrome tab.. etc
[03:52] <newb__> It installed smoothly.
[03:52] <Pritam> I get no sound
[03:52] <DarwinSurvivor> motherbrain: why do you need lsb-core?
[03:52]  * zivester s/buy/but/
[03:52] <motherbrain> to install google earth
[03:52] <ClientAlive> DarwinSurvivor: That seems like a good thing.
[03:53] <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] <blendedbychris> um to upgrade from lucid to precise should i not be able to do do-release-upgrade?
[03:53] <Pritam> any m-audio users here ?
[03:53] <newb__> I tried many boot params, acpi=off nomodeset and so on.. none worked
[03:53] <motherbrain> whenever I try to install google earth on this linux machine I get a dependency issue say something that I don't have that needed package installed
[03:53]  * nydel is an m-audio firewire 410 user
[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] <newb__> So, I unplugged the drive and tried and it works like a charm!
[03:53] <nydel> Pritam: i'm. firewire 410.
[03:54] <escott> gaelfx, there is also nohup which prevents the hangup signal from being sent to the process
[03:54] <newb__> but, I don't want to do that all the tiem
[03:54] <Pritam> delta 1010lt is a pci card
[03:54] <young> exit
[03:54] <Pritam> i followed alot of threads and the sound drivers are loading
[03:54] <DarwinSurvivor> !googleearth | motherbrain
[03:54] <ClientAlive> Another thing I plan to do with this system is get rid of apparmor and get selinux instead. What I'm unsure of is how that will effect scripts/ customizations I do. So a big question I've had is what order to do these projects in. Should I do selinux first or tweak/ configure first? What am I really facing here?
[03:54] <Pritam> am using envy24control
[03:54] <gaelfx> escott: disown did it, apparently, so awesome :D
[03:54] <Pritam> but the sound meters don't show any activity
[03:55] <newb__> waxorr
[03:55] <escott> gaelfx, now that you have disowned the process parent is init, so if you logout it should keep running
[03:56] <gaelfx> escott: oh, so maybe not the best solution, strictly speaking?
[03:56] <naj42181> Note: The iwlwifi driver has been merged into mainline kernel since 2.6.24. If you are using kernels after this release, please use the intree (drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi) driver directly.
[03:56] <newb__> escott: anyway I can bypass so that ubuntu wont notice my dvd rw
[03:57] <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] <Dan39> ubuntu 11.10, with KDE installed. is there some way /home partition becoming 100% full could cause directories/files to be removed?
[03:58] <gaelfx> escott: agreed, it is confusing :D
[03:58] <motherbrain> well, I will try to see if it is listed in my synaptic and if not probably just add a repo and it should work/show up. ... But I am curious why I cann't just download the .deb package on there site
[03:58] <Pritam> @nydel is it possible for you to share the settings you have on the alsamixer
[03:58] <escott> newb__, never heard of that problem, and im not sure what might be happening. can you be more specific about what the last thing you saw was?
[03:59] <gaelfx> is there a key combo that allows you to grab a windo by clicking it so you can move it?
[03:59] <pengw> hi all
[04:00] <nydel> @Pritam i don't understand, but my firewire410 works, if you'd like to msg me & tell me how to help i'd be obliged
[04:00] <escott> gaelfx, another good alternative is to use screen. screen can start a terminal that will run in the background so you can always control your applications (and migrate them from terminal to terminal)
[04:00] <pengw> i want to know how to install pappy to my usb pen driver via ubuntu
[04:00] <motherbrain> also when I try installing google-earth-stable 0.6.1 thru synaptic I get this Package google-earth-stable has no available version, but exists in the database.
[04:00] <motherbrain> This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list
[04:00] <Dan39> anybody? :\
[04:01] <Pritam> sure @nydel i would appreciate that , but I think I am connected to this channel using webchat and I doubt if I can pm
[04:01] <newb__> escott: scsi 4:0:0:0: CD-ROM LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1H LL06 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 this is the line it used to get stuck, when my dvd drive was plugged
[04:01] <naj42181_> installed the tar file from the forums, still no luck. noticed the intellinuxwireless website now says this: Note: The iwlwifi driver has been merged into mainline kernel since 2.6.24. If you are using kernels after this release, please use the intree (drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi) driver directly.
[04:01] <motherbrain> Though I am able to install the googleearth-package one
[04:01] <DarwinSurvivor> gaelfx: hold alt and drag to move a window
[04:01] <pengw> dd is not working if i do : dd if=puppy.is  of =/dev/sdx
[04:01] <nydel> ok @Pritam can you email? ariel@thegrapevine.cc
[04:02] <escott> newb__, odd. sounds like the kernel is getting stuck while enumerating devices.
[04:02] <Pritam> yes sure
[04:02] <gaelfx> DarwinSurvivor: perfect, thanks :D
[04:02] <motherbrain> no this is not going to work google earth for my current I am on debian based systems and I don't want to switch over to the rpm /  redhat system
[04:03] <L3top> pengw: are you trying to put the live iso onto a thumb or are you trying to actually perform an install onto a thumbdrive?
[04:03] <escott> gaelfx, this seems to describe the differences fairly well http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3886/difference-between-nohup-disown-and
[04:03] <pengw> put the live onto a thumb
[04:04] <newb__> escott: should a device keep running while enumerating, coz maybe the device jsut stops...
[04:04] <L3top> !unetbootin | pengw
[04:04] <lurraca> Hi
[04:04] <newb__> escott: Most of the dvds or cds don't run on it.. It's almost useless
[04:04] <escott> newb__, i've never heard of this and im just guessing based off the one line you sent. if you could provide some more context. like what happens before that last line you see
[04:05] <pengw> but what is wrong with dd
[04:05] <areckx_> I am trying to use my iphone as a webcam and mic for Skype on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine. 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.
[04:05] <areckx_> I have iwebcamera installed on my iPhone,
[04:05] <newb__> escott: I am not sure where I can get the boot information.. If you could shed some light on it..
[04:06] <escott> gaelfx, and this is a little more friendly of an explanation http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/32574/when-do-you-need-nohup-if-youre-already-forking-using
[04:06] <Areckx> I am trying to use my iphone as a webcam and mic for Skype on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine. 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)
[04:07] <escott> newb__, can you type in the last 5 lines you see when it hangs
[04:08] <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.
[04:09] <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
[04:10] <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.
[04:11] <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? Either that or I need to find out which tty is the default and use that one?
[04:13] <ClientAlive> DarwinSurvivor: ?
[04:14] <escott> ClientAlive, whats so bad about running a display manager?
[04:15] <anonymouspenguin> hello
[04:15] <ikt> hi
[04:15] <WoC> Anyone who knows anything about a possible release of ubuntu for Android ?
[04:15] <pmp6nl> Hello all, what should the permissions be for /home /username /public_html etc?  Thanks
[04:15] <WoC> 755 pmp6nl
[04:16] <tohuw> pmp6nl: That depends on what you are trying to do.
[04:16] <tohuw> WoC: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[04:16] <pmp6nl> For all of them WoC ? Is that a good way to setup the public_html folders?  tohuw I am trying to just create a standard apache webserver.  I will put typical html/php files in public_html
[04:18] <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] <newb__> escott: This is not exactly the failed boot message, but I can tell you where it gets stuck though
[04:18] <newb__> http://pastebin.com/6KEWVQL3
[04:19] <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?
[04:20] <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
[04:22] <escott> newb__, that definitely sounds like an enumeration issue. im not sure how you debug this, short of trying different kernel versions and builds
[04:23] <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] <anonymouspenguin> it comes up blank
[04:24] <Shoozza> Where do I get the libgdk_pixbuf-2.0
[04:24] <Shoozza>  package for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and how do I install it? I need it for compiling with Lazarus/FPC.
[04:24] <anonymouspenguin> any idea why it worked fine on a wubi install?
[04:26] <marbles> anyone have any success installing ubuntu 12.4 amd-64 on asus p8z68-v pro?
[04:27] <Pritam> @nydel i have mailed you the issue i am facing
[04:27] <escott> Shoozza, is it not in libgtk-2.0-dev
[04:28] <nydel> @Pritam thank you, i see it, i am getting a few things finished up then i'll take a look, i hope i can help. expect a reply within two hours
[04:28] <escott> !find libgdk-pixbuf | Shoozza
[04:30] <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
[04:31] <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] <anonymouspenguin> ok
[04:32] <VirtualBlackness> anonymouspenguin: what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
[04:33] <theG33k> I need help
[04:36] <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!
[04:37] <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.
[04:38] <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
[04:39] <DarwinSurvivor> !tty | ClientAlive
[04:40] <ClientAlive> DarwinSurvivor: I see. Thx. I sure am learning a lot about this stuff (nuts and bolts of it all) - it's real neat...  :)
[04:40] <anonymouspenguin> vga compatible controller [0300] : NVIDIA corporation Device [10de:1251] (rev a1)
[04:40] <DarwinSurvivor> ClientAlive: good to know you're learning :D
[04:40] <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
[04:41] <anonymouspenguin> it has onboard intel and a Nvidia. its an alienware M17x
[04:41] <anonymouspenguin> I can give you the intel results also
[04:41] <zenmaster> Do we have any virtual box guru's in here tonight? :D
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <VirtualBlackness> anonymouspenguin: this would be why you showed no nvidia install candidate
[04:43] <theG33k> n00by pendrive linux's Universal USB
[04:44] <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] <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.
[04:45] <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
[04:46] <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] <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
[04:47] <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] <VirtualBlackness> theG33k: the first step is booting to a live environment so you can chroot into the hosed install and fix it
[04:48] <VirtualBlackness> !es | ulises
[04:48] <dr_willis> theG33k:  always have backups
[04:48] <young> ubottu: how to login?
[04:49] <L3top> Login to what young?
[04:49] <young> in some channel, i can't speak, why?
[04:49] <dr_willis> !register | young
[04:49] <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..
[04:50] <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] <L3top> again anonymouspenguin   checkout bumblebee... you can switch back and forth to suit your needs.
[04:50] <kq> what should i do to login linux terminal from window xp supor terminal
[04:50] <dr_willis> young or the chennel is moderated
[04:50] <anonymouspenguin> ok thanks
[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] <dr_willis> kq:  normally one uses ssh to remote login to a linux box.
[04:50] <L3top> !ssh | kq
[04:51] <kq> thank !!!
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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
[04:53] <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..
[04:54] <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)
[04:55] <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.
[04:56] <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 )
[04:57] <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.
[04:58] <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
[04:59] <theG33k> yeah I've done it.
[04:59] <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?
[05:00] <dr_willis> a server normally dosent need X :)  depends on what its doing i guess
[05:00] <ClientAlive> is a log in manger the same as a display manager?
[05:00] <dr_willis> !info lightdm
[05:00] <root`> echo
[05:00] <Loshki> ClientAlive: might check out some 'kiosk' distros also...
[05:00] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  lightdm is default in ubuntu, or xdm, kdm, or gdm. or others
[05:01] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  most of those *dm login managers have autologin features
[05:01] <ClientAlive> dr_willis: x because I have awesome window manager. Yeah, I want light but I still need some small conveniences.
[05:01] <dr_willis> ive set up box's to autologin/start XBMC for example
[05:01] <root`> echo
[05:02] <ClientAlive> Loshki: I'd never hear of it - interesting
[05:02] <josue> Someone here plays with cocktrice, need some help with the install
[05:02] <root`> echo
[05:02] <dr_willis> !info cocktrice
[05:02] <root`> echo
[05:02] <ClientAlive> dr_willis: cdm caught my eye but still looking to find out more about it
[05:03] <dr_willis> root`:  you got an actual support question?
[05:03] <root`> echoa
[05:03] <Double_Rainbow> hello
[05:03] <Double_Rainbow> i want to download ubuntu iso from German mirrors
[05:03] <Double_Rainbow> any help ?
[05:03] <jalal> hey guys plz help me
[05:03] <young> oh, i got this "Cannot change nickname while banned on channel"...:(
[05:03] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  they alll do about the same thing. just diffeerent look and feature set
[05:03] <jalal> i am getting this error while install virtualbox
[05:04] <ClientAlive> I see
[05:04] <dr_willis> young so leave the channel..  see #freenode for IRC help
[05:04] <jalal> dpkg -i virtualbox.deb (Reading database ... 244169 files and directories currently installed.)

[05:04] <n00by> theG33k, im not sure if you reinvoke the installer from cd/pendrive if it will offer you an upgrade?
[05:04] <Ben64> jalal: why are you installing from deb? use the software center.
[05:04] <josue> unable to install/run cockatrice,  not downloading the images, I dont find cards.xml
[05:04] <young> dr_willis: join #freenode channel, and ask for help, right?
[05:04] <ClientAlive> Well I'm glad these things were pointed out to me. Now at least I have a sketch for reaching my goals
[05:04] <jalal> i get deb from official site
[05:04] <ClientAlive> thx  :)
[05:04] <dr_willis> ive nevr noticed the installer having a upgrade option... but i rarely upgrade
[05:05] <Ben64> jalal: for ubuntu you should use the software center for software
[05:05] <dr_willis> young yes
[05:05] <dr_willis> !vbox
[05:05] <jalal> in software center virtualbox availalbe?
[05:05] <young> dr_willis: thanks
[05:05] <dr_willis> !info virtualbox
[05:05] <n00by> dr_willis, if he invokes the installer and tell it to use the old root partition with the old installation on it what will it do?
[05:06] <dr_willis> n00by:  want to reformat from what i remember
[05:06] <jalal> bfore i can from deb
[05:06] <jalal> now not
[05:06] <dr_willis> jalal:  when in doubt use the packge manage tools..
[05:06] <Ben64> jalal: "can" and "should" are two different things
[05:07] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[05:07] <jalal> yeah before i "can" so now it should be too
[05:07] <jalal> same kernal
[05:07] <L3top> sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose    isnt it?
[05:07] <dr_willis> factoid said 'virtualbox'
[05:08] <brian__> hi, anybody know if there is a way to change login screen on Ubuntu 11.10? I would like to change the image and sound as well.
[05:08] <L3top> !virtualbox-ose
[05:08] <Ben64> jalal: my point is that even if you can you shouldn't. it could break things in ubuntu to install from deb
[05:08] <Ben64> !info virtualbox
[05:08] <KM0201> Ben64: in most cases, i agree with you, but the vbox.deb is perfectly safe
[05:08] <dr_willis> brian__:   image is easy to change. find it..  edit it aas root. or use the various login manager tweak tools. sound... no idea.
[05:08] <L3top> sorry... you are correct in precise...
[05:09] <Ben64> KM0201: it's more safe to let apt-get do it
[05:09] <dr_willis> plus apt will keep it updated.
[05:09] <KM0201> Ben64: if the "closed source" vversion is available in the repos.
[05:09] <root`> test
[05:09] <brian__> thanks dr_willis, i'm a little new @ this
[05:09] <L3top> Interesting... it is the same package.
[05:09] <L3top> !info virtualbox-ose
[05:09] <root`> test
[05:10] <L3top> I see... transitional package. Sorry again.
[05:10] <KM0201> !rootirc | root`
[05:10] <dr_willis> brian__:  in 12.04 it auto changes to the usere wallpaper ;)
[05:10] <root`> test
[05:10] <KM0201> root`: are you having some sort of problem?
[05:13] <brian__> cool, have the disc coming for that as well as a couple other distros
[05:13] <root`> test
[05:13] <root`> anyone
[05:13] <root`> anyone reads me?
[05:13] <Croon2> works
[05:14] <hipparchia_f> yes I do, root :)
[05:14] <L3top> yes... but evidently you dont read us
[05:14] <dr_willis> root`:   you got  a support issue?
[05:14] <ome> Hey where can I get the Java browser plugin ?
[05:14] <dr_willis> !java | ome
[05:15] <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
[05:16] <L3top> leaving out the reboot that was going to be my advice n00by
[05:17] <n00by> L3top, i forgot some sudo's
[05:18] <brian__> is there something special i need to do to configure system to play dvds? I have no problem loading cd's or distro discs but dvds aren't working
[05:18] <Whisk> Anyone know a good AVI to DVD burner?
[05:18] <L3top> I am familiar with the process. I do it about 30 times a day.
[05:18] <ome> cheers dr_willis
[05:18] <ome> I install the jre from webupd8, but I still need the plugin for the browser though.
[05:19] <dr_willis> Whisk:  devede can take videos and make a dvd-video iso image you then can burn
[05:19] <knyt> k3b is good enough to burn the files
[05:19] <Whisk> thanks dr_willis
[05:19] <dr_willis> Whisk:  many new players can play video files from data disks. ;)
[05:20] <dr_willis> devede is a little weird in how it works.. but it does work decently well
[05:20] <Whisk> I dont have a "new player" then :P
[05:20]  * L3top doesn't bind sys and adds devpts
[05:21] <Whisk> hmm
[05:21] <Whisk> United States uses NTSC right?
[05:21] <dr_willis> usa = ntsc yes
[05:22] <n00by> NTSC = "Never The Same Color"
[05:22] <dr_willis> with hdmi tvs and dvd players.. not sure it  matters these days
[05:23] <dr_willis> frogotten all about ntsc vs pal, untill i started using devede
[05:24] <n00by> its only relevant for analogue systems if im not mistaken
[05:25] <dr_willis> yea. not sure what would happen if ya put a pal d vd in a hdmi dvd player.
[05:25] <L3top> It matters.
[05:25] <dr_willis> i rarely use dvd players any more
[05:25] <n00by> L3top, color space encoding?
[05:25] <dr_willis> rarely use rca/analog inputs anymore either. ;0
[05:26] <L3top> Case in point, TV. Pal players will not play US TV nor will NTSC players play PAL.
[05:26] <L3top> Mythv vs VDR
[05:26] <n00by> L3top, but isnt that DVD region code?
[05:27] <L3top> TV
[05:27] <L3top> Cable, OTA
[05:27] <L3top> Sat... they are all PAL NTSC specific.
[05:27] <dr_willis> i wonder what a upscale/upconverting  dvd player does then... ;) but this is getting ot.
[05:27] <n00by> L3top, even with DVB?
[05:27] <L3top> Yup.
[05:28] <root`> anyone readls]

[05:30] <n00by> dr_willis, may i ask if you already are using precise?
[05:30] <L3top> It is a chunk of our project. Have to deal with it rather a lot. We would like to dump myth, but until there is more stable NTSC support in VDR we cant. I wrote a gstreamer to try and address it, but... I just dont have the time to do it from scratch.
[05:30] <dr_willis> n00by:  have been for some time
[05:30] <Guest62989> #splunk
[05:30] <quick-> dr_willis:  wat ahould i do in that ? i have it installed and the option that is selected is "select the default wine prefix"
[05:31] <HIGG5> Do any of you know how to add a facebook link to my mail button my my desktop? I have my twitter but I can't figure out how to add more accounts.

[05:32] <root___> hi, does du count symlinks?
[05:32] <abes> Question: I can access my ubuntu server via SSH locally, but when I try to access it from the outside, I get prompted for the username and right away I get "Server unexpectedly closed network connection". I'm running SSHD
[05:33] <dr_willis> n00by:  id say - upgrade or do a clean install.
[05:33] <HIGG5>  Do any of you know how to add a facebook link to my mail button my my desktop? I have my twitter but I can't figure out how to add more accounts.
[05:33] <dr_willis> abes:  using any firewall rules?
[05:34] <quick-> dr_willis: okay :) i am getting options to install apps but not libs :)
[05:35] <FLeiXiuS`> How can I get a mceremote device to stop pretending to be a keyboard
[05:35] <n00by> dr_willis, wasnt able to get vdpau working with the new vlc 2.0.1 (PAL res ok, 720p not?!), the bug for the missing break in libcairo2 (not able to use bgr rendering) and firefox is STILL there, and i cant shut down from lightdm (at least not from pendrive)...
[05:35] <HIGG5> argh! Ok. I understand.
[05:35] <dr_willis> FLeiXiuS`:  and do what exactly?
[05:35] <FLeiXiuS`> dr_willis, become a LIRC dev, as its supposed to be.
[05:36] <FLeiXiuS`> dr_willis, I see the input dev, told X to ignore it, even setup a udev rule.
[05:36] <n00by> dr_willis, also hw accel flash video got blue and red swapped since i installed the vdpau drivers...
[05:36] <dr_willis> my remotes all just work as keybords. ;)   i thought lirc  did basically he same thing . remote - lirc  to keybord inputs
[05:37] <Shoozza> ok i give up time to switch distros
[05:37] <dr_willis> but ive only a few low end $8 remotes
[05:37] <quick-> can i upgrade the ubuntu 12.04 using the pendrive ?
[05:37] <dr_willis> Shoozza:  have a nice day.
[05:37] <FLeiXiuS`> dr_willis, eh, this was a 30$ remote nothing big.  But I would like for it to work as an IR remote.
[05:38] <dr_willis> FLeiXiuS`:  im not sure how lirc would differ really...
[05:38] <kartook> is this right place to ask help ?
[05:38] <dr_willis> better defult button mapping i guess
[05:38] <FLeiXiuS`> dr_willis, LIRC doesn't even play well with it at all.
[05:38] <quick-> dr_willis: Thanks for the help :)
[05:38] <Shoozza> dr_willis, thanks, too bad can't make stuff work with ubuntu though
[05:39] <dr_willis> last i fought with lirc was with my laptops included (useless) remote. ;0
[05:39] <Shoozza> libgdk_pixbuf is just too good at hiding :P
[05:39] <dr_willis> Shoozza:  not even seen you state an issue..   but im only here part time.
[05:39] <jael> im new at this.
[05:40] <n00by> but usb drivers seem to have improved a lot in 3X kernel branch
[05:40] <L3top> n00by: there are issues with the 295.40 driver. I would add the xswat ppa and revert to 295.33
[05:40] <Shoozza> How to get libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0 on Ubuntu 10.04? Package seems to be missing.
[05:40] <kartook> i installed cairo -dock and  i love to have top menu bar option on my newly installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[05:40] <Shoozza> @ dr_willis
[05:40] <n00by> L3top, oh thanks i will try that
[05:40] <dr_willis> Shoozza:  when in doubt. look for a ppa, or use source
[05:41] <abes> dr_willis: not sure about the firewall rules - I know I ran updates the other day and it stopped working from the outside. How can I view/modify the firewall rules?
[05:41] <dr_willis> !10.04
[05:42] <dr_willis> abes:  sudo iptables --list

[05:42] <abes> dr_willis: there is  no rules there at all
[05:43] <hamdy> hi, I accidently formatted my reiserfs partition to ext4 one, any ideas how to recover from this?
[05:43] <n00by> L3top, gt240
[05:43] <n00by> vp4
[05:43] <L3top> lspci -nn | grep VGA
[05:43] <dr_willis> abes:  you could enable verbose logging of ssh in the sshd config and try to see why its rejecting
[05:43] <KM0201> hamdy: why yes, you move all your data from your backup, back onto the partition.
[05:43] <root`> good to be here
[05:44] <hamdy> KM0201, I don't have a backup :) that is why am asking if there's something I an do to unformat / restore data
[05:45] <KM0201> "unformat"... stop and think about that.
[05:45] <L3top> There are 5 very special pci ids I am interested in.
[05:45] <KM0201> how did you format it?
[05:45] <somethinginteres> how can I disable my interal TV card so I don't get confused between that and my USB tuner?
[05:45] <n00by> L3top, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] [10de:0ca3] (rev a2)
[05:46] <hamdy> KM0201, I was installng fresh ubuntu when I mistakingly formatted it while installation
[05:46] <KM0201> geez
[05:46] <chronos> someone have issues here when upgrading to 12.04.. I getting errors related to python and when try to execute python I get "Illegal Instruction"? there is the complete error when do apt-get upgrade: https://gist.github.com/2565370
[05:46] <KM0201> hamdy: i guess it could probably done, but i'm guessing that it's gonna be beyond most of the "free" tools that are available.
[05:47] <L3top> Thanks.. not it :)
[05:47] <hamdy> KM0201, mmmmmm why do you think so?
[05:47] <shadykhan> best way to check if i can handle 3d acceleration?
[05:47] <Shoozza> dr_willis, where can I get the source I can't find it in the ppa
[05:47] <KM0201> beccause you formatted a disk to a new filesystem, (and from the sounds of it) installed an operating system on top of it.
[05:48] <wylde> hamdy: at what point did you realized the partition was formatted? After the installation completed?
[05:48] <hamdy> KM0201, I didn't install any thing on it, it was another partition
[05:48] <hamdy> wylde, yes but it wasn't my root , it was another partition
[05:49] <KM0201> hamdy: i dunno, i still think its just gonna be an exercise in frustration (but it's probably gonna a very good lesson)
[05:49] <KM0201> hope it wasn't anything super important
[05:49] <wylde> hamdy: I see. Although I agree with KM0201
[05:49] <hamdy> KM0201, it was super important actually
[05:49] <lance_> howdy
[05:49] <hamdy> wylde, yea a hard lesson
[05:49] <L3top> hamdy: It can be done, but the data is gonna be all over the place.
[05:49] <KM0201> hamdy: then you'd have had redundant backups
[05:50] <root`> bin bookmarks.html boot dev etc home lib lost+found media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
[05:50] <KM0201> lol
[05:50] <wylde> hamdy: that's how I learned, I now always have backups.
[05:50] <hamdy> :)
[05:50] <hamdy> L3top, any ideas?
[05:50] <meganerd> hamdy: there is good news and bad
[05:51] <hamdy> meganred, ?
[05:51] <meganerd> hamdy: the good news is that you can probably get some data back as long it was not an SSD
[05:51] <KM0201> the bad, your files are gone, the good.. I just saved a lot of money on my car insurnace by switching to geico
[05:51] <meganerd> hamdy: the bad news is that the filenames are probably toast
[05:51] <KM0201> you can probably recover some of the files (i mentioned that earlier).. but i bet it will be frustrating
[05:52] <kartook> Hello , i installed cairo -dock and  i love to have top menu bar option on my newly installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[05:52] <meganerd> hamdy: take an image of the partition that you wiped (ddrescue /dev/sdb2 /path/to/partition.img)
[05:52] <meganerd> hamdy: then use formost to go through that image looking for certain file types.
[05:53] <meganerd> hamdy: this will be a painful and tedious experience
[05:53] <Young_> this is a test, ignore please!
[05:54] <meganerd> hamdy: you might have some success with sleuthkit, but I would not bet on it
[05:54] <wylde> Young_:  #test exists just for that reason :P
[05:54] <hamdy> meganerd, I can't really do that, it's painful :)
[05:54] <meganerd> hamdy: that is all I have to offer
[05:55] <hamdy> meganerd, and I really appretiate your help
[05:55] <hamdy> thanks
[05:55] <meganerd> np
[05:55] <meganerd> been there and done that
[05:55] <kartook> is this right -lace to ask fro help or not
[05:55] <meganerd> now I have backups
[05:55] <hamdy> :) I'll do that
[05:56] <L3top> hamdy:  knoppix has some tools... and try and get your hands on HEX which is really more a forensic recovery tool...  but... a lot depends on a lot... what was the fs?
[05:57] <hamdy> it was reiserfs that is formatted to ext4
[05:57] <hamdy> I kept the partition untouched after format
[05:57] <padhu> Guys, i just fixed HIS Radeon 6670 GPU on my PC. My monitor is Samsung syncMaster 632nw. It's resolution is 1024X768. but it shows in resolution 800X600. How can i fix this?
[05:58] <dr_willis> may be a good idea to image the partition to a file now hamdy  and try to recover from the file...
[05:58] <hamdy> dr_willis, OK I'll image it
[05:59] <L3top> oh bleagh. that is yuk. I would not expect great results. IF you can get stuff back it is gonna be ALL over the place
[06:01] <padhu> How can i check my graphics card is functioning correctly on ubuntu 10.04?
[06:02] <n00by> L3top, the 295.33 cant play 720p (1280x720) in vlc 2.0.1 neither (like 295.40), maybe its the 2.x branch of vlc itself (weird thing is720x576 seems to be ok?)
[06:02] <L3top> can you explain padhu? I can tell you if you have the best driver combination...
[06:03] <linusasus6> good morning, I would like to know if is normal that I download from 17ko/s to 80ko/s downloading software from synaptics manager, is it the server too busy?
[06:04] <NoobTux> i had a conky in my 10.04 right now but i want to try a new conky but im afraid if im not successful then i want to bring back my old conky is it possible?
[06:05] <dr_willis> NoobTux:  a 'new' conky? as in a new version or config?
[06:05] <linusasus6> of course just uninstall everything and take the one from the repo
[06:06] <dr_willis> conky and unity can be a little quirky last i tried the 2 together
[06:06] <NoobTux> new set or config i dunno which term to use but i guess it's a new design conky
[06:07] <padhu> I have an motherboard ASUS MP5X WIFI, Intel core2 Duo E4500, 2GB RAM, & I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I just brought HIS Radeon HD6670 GPU and fixed on the machine. After starting machine my display srinked to 800X600 resolution. i want revet back to 1024X768. and also want to check that the GPU working properly
[06:07] <dr_willis> conky layout is defined by its config files.. back them up.

[06:07] <L3top> n00by: That makes no sense. We have vdpau working in everything from 195+ on everything above nv 8600 in xine... Now... we stopped going at 260... but it all rolls 1080p. We run 1080p VDPAU on ions ffs.

[06:15] <L3top> when it is just one line you can put it in text... you dont need to bring my attention to it once you have put my name in it.
[06:16] <OerHeks> kernelcruncher, use my-unity to size the icons, it is in softwarecentre.

[06:28] <Alb_Erc> hi there, I have a problem with my ubuntu 12.04. While I'm using the SO, sometimes the monitor turns black, and in a few seconds, it shows the screen again
[06:28] <Alb_Erc> any idea?
[06:28] <r4y> I am having hard drive troubles I think, but I don't want to go to the other computer and change everything back to the other hard drive.
[06:28] <r4y> That being said. My sister in law has children and doesn't know how to add back the menu applet with applications places and system
[06:29] <r4y> What's it called? 	I know there are 2 applets with the word menu in them.
[06:29] <root`>          
[06:29] <thetrav> authorized_keys works for one user and not another... what could cause that to happen?
[06:29] <thetrav> ssh still works, it just requires a password for one user, wheras the other it uses keys
[06:29] <bitboy> virtualbox has no devices menu on my ubuntu 11.10 for some reason
[06:29] <dr_willis> r4y:  theres a classic-gnome menu indicator applet i saw mentioned at the webupd8 blog site thats adds the old type menus under a single icon to unity. if thats what you are looking for
[06:30] <KM0201> lol
[06:30] <Mayazcherquoi> Dual monitor support with laptops isn't too great :-/
[06:30] <r4y> It's for 10.04
[06:30] <r4y> not 12
[06:30] <WoC> check pemissions of the files and directory, thetrav
[06:30] <bitboy> virtualbox has just file, machine, help, no device, I have windows 7 up and running

[06:31] <Mayazcherquoi> !commands
[06:31] <Mayazcherquoi> :(
[06:31] <r4y> I guess I mill just have to go check it for myself so I am sure
[06:31] <mi3> L3top, I dislike unity and gnome 3 but thanks for that
[06:32] <dr_willis> time to move to lubuntu then. ;)
[06:32] <r4y> I tried 12 and I am switching back to10.04
[06:32] <OerHeks> !resetpanels | r4y
[06:33] <KM0201> i love lxde.. but.. Unity has found a place in my heart.
[06:33] <KM0201> it's much better in 12.04, than previous releases.
[06:33] <dr_willis> that HUD feature in !2.04 is nifty
[06:33] <OerHeks> KM0201, true
[06:33] <r4y> She would have to hold control alt t to even get the terminal. I am not sure I could explain how to use keyboard shortcuts to her
[06:33] <r4y> Then copy and paste that command, lol
[06:34] <r4y> What I am asking will be easier for her
[06:34] <r4y> TY all, sorry
[06:34] <L3top> !enter | r4y
[06:34] <r4y> Ya ya I know, bye
[06:35] <dr_willis> set up ssh on her machine, so you can get to it and fix things... and make it play cow mooing sounds remotely... ;)
[06:36] <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] <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
[06:37] <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.
[06:38] <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?
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <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
[06:41] <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
[06:42] <dr_willis> the order in sources.list may be an issue..but i dont think so
[06:43] <dr_willis> i recall some diablo-ish games working well in wine for me.... torchlight, or fate.. i cant recall..
[06:44] <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?
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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:(
[06:47] <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?
[06:48] <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] <dr_willis> szal:  the alt-cd can work that way if you insert it onto an older system?
[06:49] <cvetomir_77> има ли някой българин тук
[06:49] <szal> !ru | cvetomir_77
[06:49] <szal> !bg
[06:49] <dr_willis> i dont think the live cd can work as a upgrade-disrto cd. and i dont think the insgaller on the live cd has a upgrade option.
[06:49] <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] <dr_willis> i could be wrong.. i do clean installs 99% of the time
[06:49] <Ben64> firefox keeps crashing... http://pastebin.com/Le0WVx0B
[06:50] <KM0201> i don''t think so either, but even if you use the alt. cd, i don't thik it would upgrade 11.04 to 12.04 (directly)
[06:50] <x_XP>  szal thanks i read somewhere that this is possible but did not mention date being safe
[06:50] <KM0201> Ben64: use chromium, problem solved.. :)
[06:50] <dr_willis> darksifer:  twinview makes the full-sreening feature a lot smarter from what ive notied.
[06:50] <Ben64> KM0201: that does not solve the problem
[06:50] <KM0201> Ben64: just giving you a moment of brevity...
[06:51] <madsj> hi, I messed up my system a bit; can someone please send me a tar-ball of /var/lib/dpkg/info/emacs* ?
[06:51] <Ben64> brev·i·ty/ˈbrevitē/ - Concise and exact use of words in writing or speech.
[06:51] <szal> x_XP: in any case, expect trouble when upgrading (as opposed to reinstalling) from 11.04 to 12.04 in one go.. the supported way would be 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04
[06:51] <KM0201> ah, see, i used the word wrong.
[06:52] <tchip> ah it works
[06:52] <dr_willis> levity ... ;)
[06:52] <tchip> nice, thx

[06:54] <akshay> hello guys .. is there any way that i can increase the size of my root drive without reinstalling ubuntu?
[06:54] <Ben64> akshay: yes. use a livecd and gparted
[06:54] <x_XP> szal:  command was   sudo apt-cdrom add                then            sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:54] <szal> akshay: try from a live CD
[06:54] <dr_willis> darksifer:  sounds like a old bug i saw in vbox ages ago.. seen similer bug in some java apps,
[06:55] <dr_willis> darksifer:  perhaps thecompiz plugins could forcce it to the proper monitor
[06:55] <akshay> ok..will try and let you know..
[06:55] <szal> x_XP: 'apt-get dist-upgrade' is not a supported way of upgrading.. while it may work if you know what you're doing, if it breaks you get to keep the pieces
[06:55] <pungi-man> i upgraded my pc in this manner only and it works properly, szal
[06:55] <akshay> i tried gparted but i get error saying canno unmount root drive
[06:55] <akshay> cannot*
[06:55] <KM0201> akshay: you gotta due it from a live cd
[06:55] <szal> due?
[06:55] <Ben64> do
[06:56] <akshay> live cd it is then..i'll try that..thanks
[06:56] <KM0201> due/do... its 0300hrs here in Indiana... i'm tired
[06:56] <KM0201> not to mention sick... brevity/levity,   due/do...lol
[06:56] <pungi-man> akshay : but u may have to format a partiton for that
[06:56] <pungi-man> partition
[06:56] <cvetomir_77> yes bg
[06:56] <szal> Guest32056:  don't IRC as root (unless you have no other option)
[06:56] <KM0201> akshay: depending on your partition lay out, it might be much easier (and certainly faster) to start over.
[06:56] <akshay> how do i do that?
[06:57] <user> dr_willis: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. why so?
[06:57] <szal> pungi-man: don't spread FUD before the fact.. if it doesn't work, then GParted will tell him

[06:58] <dewar> hello dacicus2
[06:58] <user> dr_willis: well i followed !isc and the first line for iptables rules
[06:58] <szal> KM0201: I know that resizing partitions is not as shiny and trouble-free in practice as in theory..
[06:59] <dr_willis> user:  all i know is at that factoid.. i havent used the feature in years
[06:59] <Areckx> I was able to run webcamstudio latest version using java -jar &*.jar
[06:59] <szal> KM0201: but I doubt that you can predict any specific kind of trouble
[06:59] <KM0201> szal: and all pungi-man was doing, is telling him that...
[06:59] <Marzata> how big is your /
[06:59] <KM0201> szal: of course not... neither can you.
[06:59] <Areckx> errr java -jar WebCamStudio.jar
[06:59] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[06:59] <KM0201> saying "you may" is perfectly logical

[07:01] <alexandru_> can anyone help me
[07:01] <KM0201> akshay: 10gigs is plenty of space... do you have a bunch of movies or music or some stuff on there?
[07:01] <Dacicus2> Hi, MrPockets.
[07:01] <KM0201> that 10gigs can't be all apps
[07:01] <alexandru_> hello
[07:01] <Areckx> there is no option to load a folder in order to load a .wspl
[07:01] <Blue1> KM0201: i put a working ubuntu system with x in 4 gig
[07:01] <Marzata> 10 Gb only for / is enough
[07:01] <Blue1> on a usb stick
[07:02] <Dacicus2> Hi, cdoktor19.
[07:02] <Dacicus2> Hi, forensic.
[07:02] <KM0201> Blue1: thats what i'm saying
[07:02] <alexandru_> when i enable some animations in compiz my unity desktop segfaults
[07:02] <akshay> no but some of my project softwares like matlab and others are installed..these files are huge but i cannot delete them.
[07:02] <szal> Dacicus2: please turn off that auto-greeting
[07:02] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, szal?

[07:02] <vyrgozunqk> Dacicus2, hello
[07:02] <alexandru_> ?
[07:02] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, vyrgozunqk?
[07:03] <napalm54> ...
[07:03] <vyrgozunqk> fine, tnx - do i know you ?
[07:03] <Sixmsj> Dacicus2, sup bro
[07:03] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, Sixmsj?
[07:03] <alexandru_> help me
[07:03] <Dacicus2> Hi, _3nids_.
[07:03] <alexandru_> please
[07:03] <napalm54> alexandru_: With what?
[07:03] <Dacicus2> Hi, DaZ.
[07:03] <vyrgozunqk> alexandru_, tell us your problem... and we'll see if we  can help
[07:03] <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?
[07:04] <alexandru_>  my unity segfaults when i am trying to enable something in ccsm
[07:04] <Dacicus2> Hi, prime.
[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> : ))
[07:05] <Dacicus2> Hi, Richard_Cavell.
[07:05] <alexandru_> and when i enable something  in ccsm in the terminal with unity it says segfault
[07:05] <dax> Dacicus2: #ubuntu is a large channel. Greeting everyone who enters it is noisy, disruptive, and not something I recommend if you want to continue being able to talk in here.
[07:05] <Dacicus2> Hi, balthus.
[07:05] <Dacicus2> Hi, dahaic.
[07:05] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, dax?
[07:05] <alexandru_> i want effects
[07:05] <akshay> KM0201: thanks..i'm downloading 12.04 currently as i do not have live cd with me.
[07:05] <dahaic> hello
[07:05] <dax> Dacicus2: To confirm that you aren't a bot, please tell me what 2 plus 2 is.
[07:05] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, dax?
[07:06] <Dacicus2> 4
[07:06] <alexandru_> i had to use gnome shell because unity would not work
[07:06] <dax> Dacicus2: Alrighty. Turn your automatic scripts off, now.
[07:06] <Richard_Cavell> Dacicus2: Hello
[07:06] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, dax?
[07:06] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, Richard_Cavell?
[07:06] <Sixmsj> Dacicus2, can't be a bot since he has a number next to his name.
[07:06] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, Sixmsj?
[07:06] <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] <Dacicus2> Hi, efpc2003.

[07:07] <mi3> dr_willis, ok
[07:07] <akshay> KM0201: ok. but what about the apps? i've lost count how many i've installed:) they will all go right?
[07:07] <KM0201> what do you mean "all go".. if you format and resize? yes, they will all go away
[07:08] <mi3> dr_willis, can 3 DE's work without any conflict? I have mate, unity, and am about to install lxde

[07:13] <x_XP> -
[07:13] <Nefariouz> Is there a way to get around graphical issues while using the gui installer for 12.04?
[07:13] <szal> x_XP: what is the specific problem?
[07:14] <dr_willis> mi3 unity and lubuntu can owork on the same system. no idea on mate. i dont use it.. or want it
[07:14] <philipballew> Nefariouz, try the alt installer
[07:14] <szal> dr_willis: too late ;)
[07:14] <Nefariouz> How do I use that philip?
[07:14] <philipballew> Nefariouz, let me grab you the link
[07:14] <Nefariouz> alright
[07:14] <axxon> What would mainly cause your computer to loop on modprobe, and then terminate booting on signal 9?
[07:14] <philipballew> are you just running ubuntu or a fancy duel boot Nefariouz
[07:15] <x_XP>  szal: i can not do it successfully
[07:15] <Nefariouz> Dual boot atm
[07:15] <mysteriousdarren> mi3: the de?
[07:15] <Nefariouz> Windows 7 and Ubuntu, I just wanted to do a clean install of 12.04
[07:15] <szal> x_XP: what exactly are you doing then? 'transfer User data' doesn't tell us an awful lot
[07:16] <lotuspsychje> Nefariouz: good idea to clean install precise
[07:16] <philipballew> Nefariouz, try the alterninite http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
[07:16] <dr_willis> you can mount both systems/fs and copy the users home over easially enought
[07:16] <Blue1> what lotuspsychje said
[07:16] <philipballew> you can find many guides on google about how to install via the alterninite
[07:16] <Blue1> or rsync
[07:16] <lotuspsychje> precise rocks
[07:17] <x_XP> szal:  I copy everything from  home/user in HDD then copy it back to SDD same location
[07:17] <szal> x_XP: and where's the problem w/ that?
[07:17] <lotuspsychje> x_XP:what ssd brand you have?
[07:18] <blackcatnekonegr> Hello,I haven’t updated ubuntu in ages, what would the best option so I don't crash everything when I install ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[07:18] <usspx> ciaoo
[07:18] <usspx> !list
[07:18] <lotuspsychje> !it | usspx

[07:19] <lotuspsychje> lookin for warez
[07:19] <n00by> somehow my mouse scrolling wheel got inverted, how can i reinvert it in gnome3?
[07:19] <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?
[07:20] <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
[07:21] <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
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> gnome3 got classic option now right?
 astonishingly enough, ~99% of all ppl !list'ing in here are from Italy \\ I've noticed that, what's the reason for it?
[07:23] <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?
[07:24] <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
[07:25] <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] <szal> blackcatnekonegr: no, I mean blocking Italy
[07:25] <blackcatnekonegr> szal, I don't see why they should.

[07:26] <x_XP> dr_willis: after  data restore  I can see desctop icons but there is nothing else on the screen
[07:26] <blackcatnekonegr> szal, maybe we should add a small script that lists ubuntu torrents, unless is against the rules of the network
[07:27] <dahaic> hello, does anyone use pidgin on Pangolin? I just upgraded, and missing "libgstfarsight" library prevents me from running it
[07:27] <szal> blackcatnekonegr: you could go to #ubuntu-ops and suggest that ;)

[07:27] <dr_willis> x_XP:  so  reset your users settings. try making a new user - see if gheissue affacts them als

[07:31] <alexandru_> ccsm
[07:31] <blackcatnekonegr>   ubottu, thanks, my internet is a bit jumpy lately, so no direct downloads for me (Can't resume downloads)
[07:31] <alexandru_> and my desktop disappeared
[07:31] <dr_willis> x_XP:  alt-ctrl-f1 is not working:
[07:31] <dr_willis> ?
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> alexandru_:wich option did you change?
[07:32] <alexandru_> i tried enabling animations
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> alexandru_: try a reboot, that can help sometimes changing compiz values
[07:32] <alexandru_> i have tried
[07:32] <alexandru_> after logging in
[07:32] <alexandru_> still no desktop
[07:32] <alexandru_> tried unity --reset
[07:33] <dr_willis> compiz has its own reset ccommands.
[07:33] <alexandru_> that worked and when i tried again to enable effects it crashed again
[07:33] <alexandru_> and i've reset compiz too
[07:33] <dr_willis> not all compiz effexts work with  unity
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> alexandru_:whats your grafix card brand?
[07:33] <alexandru_> intel
[07:34] <lotuspsychje> old?
[07:34] <alexandru_> but compiz worked
[07:34] <alexandru_> no
[07:34] <alexandru_> it is not old
[07:34] <lotuspsychje> ok
[07:34] <dr_willis> you can enable compiz settings that break unity.
[07:34] <blackcatnekonegr>  alexandru_, does ubuntu suport your video card?
[07:34] <alexandru_> yes
[07:34] <alexandru_> i get compiz
[07:34] <alexandru_> and unity 3d
[07:34] <dr_willis> they were cosndiering removing ccsm beccause of this 'ability' ;)
[07:34] <srikanth> hi i am not connect to wireless network . recently i've installed ubuntu 11.10
[07:35] <alexandru_> my unity is 3d not 2d
[07:35] <alexandru_> so ubuntu supports it
[07:35] <abes> Question: I type in reboot, it tells me that the system is going for a reboot, but nothing really happens. I log back in 10 minutes later and my uptime hasn't changed (no reboot)?
[07:35] <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
[07:36] <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] <srikanth> hi can anyone help me

[07:40] <schultza> mostly curiosity
[07:40] <dr_willis> schultza:  ive not seen identd needed in ages...
[07:41] <dr_willis> schultza:  it used to be a bad security risk.. dident do much anyway
[07:41] <blackcatnekonegr> srikanth, is the drivers or a configuration problem, try to see if wifi works with the live cd
[07:41] <schultza> efnet requires it to connect
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> srikanth: can you see wireless networks?
[07:42] <dr_willis> schultza:  err.. last i used it - it did not require it.. but i dont go to efnet in ages.
[07:42] <schultza> my only reason for going to efnet has died away
[07:43] <srikanth> yes i can see them but not able to connect
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> srikanth: what kind of error you get when connecting?
[07:43] <blackcatnekonegr> schultza, sorry to ask this, does it ask you for a password?
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> lol

[07:49] <dr_willis> ubuntu606:  id search the bug reports first for your exact make and modelof laptop. check the foorums also. there may be some known issues and work arounds
[07:49] <blackbear008> - ubuntu606, 15:48 -

[07:50] <ubuntu606> crap
[07:50] <ubuntu606> what about in unity??
[07:50] <dr_willis> unity is gnome ;) well its a shell on top of gnome
[07:50] <Mneumonic> I turned Sticky Edges in Display to Off but it didn't disable it.  I tried restarting but it is still functioning while disabled.
[07:50] <Mneumonic> Does anyone know what else I need to do to disable sticky edges
[07:51] <dr_willis> what does sticky edges do:
[07:51] <Mneumonic> when you drag a window to the top of the screen it puts into full screen
[07:51] <Mneumonic> or the side of the screen puts it maximized on half of the screen
[07:52] <Mneumonic> I clicked to option to disable it but it's still enabled
[07:52] <dr_willis> i dident think that was sticky edges
[07:52]  * n00by invokes "apt-get -y install kubuntu-desktop"   oO
[07:52] <blackbear008> - ubuntu606, 15:50 -,,   unity is the same, try acpid packet
[07:52] <ubuntu606> yup i did it
[07:52] <ubuntu606> it works
[07:52] <ubuntu606> i can't believe it's been such a while since i reported bugs
[07:53] <blackbear008> any one know where to fine channel :  TED?
[07:53] <blackbear008> to find channel : TED?
[07:53] <dr_willis> blackbear008:  you sure its on this server?
[07:53] <dr_willis> !alis | blackbear008
[07:54] <abes> Question: how can I add a program to startup? I edited my /etc/rc.local by adding the path to my script but it didnt start after the reboot :(
[07:54] <dr_willis> abes:  what does your script run?
[07:54] <blackbear008> thanks , dr_wllls
[07:55] <dr_willis> !autorun
[07:55] <dr_willis> !startup
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> whats the best gui grub editing package?
[07:55] <dr_willis> lotuspsychje:  im not sure of any gui grub editing tools...
[07:55] <blackbear008> nano
[07:55] <dr_willis> a few grub tweaking tools..but never noticced one that had full editing features
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis: startup-manager is one, but cant find it anymore
[07:56] <dr_willis> !find startup-manager
[07:56] <dr_willis> obsolete i guess
[07:56] <abes> dr_willis: the script is just the no-ip IP updater
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> !info startupmanager
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[07:57] <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] <normatif> !boot
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> !info grubconf
[07:57] <abes> dr_willis: it is on ethernet
[07:57] <Mneumonic> dr_willis you were right it's not sticky edges
[07:58] <ratz> hi friends
[07:58] <abes> i will just make a script that checks if the process is up and if not then it will start it and add it to crontab
[07:58] <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] <Mneumonic> sticky edges is for if you have 2 monitors
[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...
[07:59] <ratz> I am trying to use a dos based application on my Ubuntu system i m using wine but it just runs and closes the windows
[07:59] <dr_willis> chronos:  a clean install is the safest bet.
[07:59] <Mneumonic> ratz did you try dosbox?
[07:59] <ratz> can someone please help me
[07:59] <dr_willis> ratz for real dos  apps = dosemu or dosbox
[07:59] <tejaswidp> My pc doesn't have wifi support. Can I connect to my wifi modem using my android Phone and then access the internet on my PC using USB?
[07:59] <chronos> dr_willis: it's a production server
[08:00] <ratz> Mneumonic: thanx i will try that
[08:00] <chronos> dr_willis: it failed on something related to python
[08:00] <Mneumonic> ratz It has worked for me really well for dos based games
[08:00] <umer> Guys what type of themes does ubuntu 11.10 uses?....
[08:00] <chronos> I getting thinks like /bin/sh: line 1: 14659 Illegal instruction LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/src/Python-2.7.3: CC='gcc -pthread' LDSHARED='gcc -pthread -shared ' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes' ./python -E ./setup.py -q build
[08:00] <dr_willis> chronos:  depends on how it failed i guess..
[08:00] <dr_willis> umer:  gtk3/gnome-shell
[08:00] <chronos>  I getting errors related to python and when try to execute python I get "Illegal Instruction"? there is the complete error when do apt-get upgrade: https://gist.github.com/2565370
[08:00] <chronos> but works with python -S
 what about unity themes?
[08:01] <chronos> dr_willis: some file looks broke but don't know what is this one
[08:01] <dr_willis> umer:  is no such thing that i know of.
[08:01] <ratz> Mneumonic: I am trying to use a Foxpro build application which an executable. It does execute, but then generates error.
[08:02] <dr_willis> ratz:  is it a atual dos app or a windows execcutable
[08:02] <ratz> dr_willis: it is an application compiled in foxpro as an .exe
[08:03] <dr_willis> ratz:  so it has a window and a gui?
[08:03] <dr_willis> or is it pure text?
[08:03] <ratz> dos based gui
[08:03] <dr_willis> ratz:  then try it in dosbox perhaps
[08:03] <dr_willis> unless its a weird windows-console app
[08:04] <dr_willis> tri it from terminal wine whaever.exe and se eif any errors show  up
ok thanks
[08:04] <onats> hi guys, i'm trying to install on a machine with intel raid. I used alternate CD, but I can't seem to proceed with installation if I'm offline?
[08:04] <undeclaredx> is it safe to do do-release-upgrade, or is a reinstall necessary?
[08:05] <skbohra> after upgrading to 12.04 the system gives error 'running in low graphics mode' and stuck there
[08:05] <dr_willis> undeclaredx:  it is a good idea to have backups
[08:05] <undeclaredx> dr_willis: well, I don't have the most complicated install either
[08:05] <skbohra> any possible solution? I googled and found many people with same problem
[08:06] <dr_willis> undeclaredx:  then go for it! live on the edge!
[08:06] <undeclaredx> hahah
[08:06] <undeclaredx> that's a pretty sad definition of the edge!
[08:06] <dr_willis> skbohra:  install the drivers for your video ccard
[08:06] <normatif> undeclaredx: I had a basic 11.10 install, and do-release-upgrade failed , fubar even
[08:06] <undeclaredx> the edge aka HIGH CHANCE OF FAILURE
[08:06] <undeclaredx> yeah
[08:06]  * dr_willis IS the edge1
[08:06] <undeclaredx> I wouldn't try it
[08:06] <undeclaredx> pfft lies
[08:06] <undeclaredx> you're dr_willis
[08:07] <ubuntu606> what's the best language to learn to help develop ubuntu??
[08:07] <dr_willis> i always do cleani nstalls..
[08:07] <undeclaredx> heh yeah
[08:07] <undeclaredx> I should too, I guess
[08:07] <undeclaredx> ubuntu606: I suppose C/C++ would be where to go
[08:07] <ubuntu606> what about vala??
[08:07] <undeclaredx> it all depends on what you want to do
[08:07] <undeclaredx> I haven't heard of that
[08:07] <dr_willis> ubuntu606:  if you know NOprogramming:. then go learn Python for starters
[08:07] <undeclaredx> there's also scripting languages, like python
[08:07] <undeclaredx> yeah
[08:07] <undeclaredx> python is a good suggestion too I suppose
[08:07] <esak> my laptop cant detected wireless. how config  wlan network ??
[08:07] <ubuntu606> i only know java so far
[08:07] <undeclaredx> and if you want to make apps REALLY easily, just do mono C# =/
[08:08] <undeclaredx> oh but you know java
[08:08] <undeclaredx> that's a big deal, but how well do you know it?
[08:08] <lotuspsychje> esak: your network card drivers installed?
[08:08] <ubuntu606> pretty well actually. not perfect though.. i still am gonna go back to my textbook to perfect it though
[08:09] <blackcatnekonegr> dr_willis, is there a Pyhton guide somewhere?
[08:09] <esak> i dont know lotuspychje. how check ??

[08:16] <skbohra> dr_willis, oh, I am from Fedora so thought if I could just remove this file to get create a new one.
[08:16] <dr_willis> skbohra:  not sure what you are trying to fix,,,
[08:17] <skbohra> dr_willis, the issue with the graphics mode, ubuntu is unable to start X
[08:18] <dr_willis> skbohra:  most systems dont ecen have a xorg:conf these days
[08:19] <blackcatnekonegr> dr_willis, depends on the distro, version he is using.
[08:19] <skbohra> dr_willis, any way I can just login to a basic graphics mode and disable all video drivers?
[08:19] <chronos> what is the right address to open a NEW BUG on 12.04
[08:19] <dr_willis> skbohra:  that can normally be done from the console.
[08:19] <skbohra> I can't install video drivers, I don't have internet working on the system.
[08:19] <skbohra> since I use a weird ISP
[08:19] <dr_willis> skbohra:  whats your video card/chipset?

[08:50] <Flynsarmy> does 12.04 have support for nvidia optimus yet? or do i still need to enter acpi=no_irc into grub settings and blacklist nvidia/install bumblebee?
[08:50] <bluegoober> Ppa,s little sirens that lure you with sweet sounds so you drown on upgrade day
[08:51] <L3top> Well, I will take the first pastebinit, and I guess ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d | pastebinit   it is 5 am here and I am a little sleepy. Sorry for confusing posts.

[08:51] <Ravenslock> Can some one help me please. Yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.4 and a blank maroon or purple screen appears. I then pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart my pc and selected the previous linux version to run and the icon pictures are all missing and there is no network, no eth0?
[08:51] <PsynoKhi0> nvm there is a patch on the fora :)
[08:52] <lotuspsychje> Ravenslock: you could try a clean install
[08:52] <L3top> padhu: why do you have all of those PPAs?
[08:52] <padhu> L3top: http://pastebin.com/rAz4b1hE
[08:53] <padhu> L3top: I installed PPAs and i am not removed it from source list
[08:53] <bluegoober> Ive made it a habit not to dist upgrade till 90 or more days beyond the release date
[08:54] <L3top> Yeah... that is a crazy list padhu. WHY did you add ALL of that?
[08:55] <padhu> L3top: whenever i need to install the packages from PPAs,  i added it and i am not deleted the list.
[08:56] <padhu> L3top: okey i am going to clean it
[08:56] <auronandace> padhu: what are you trying to do?
[08:57] <padhu> auronandace: i am going to remove it using source list GUI
[08:58] <auronandace> padhu: no sorry, i mean what are you trying to do overall?
[08:58] <L3top> at this point just install fglrx, but it is causing dep web due to http://pastebin.com/rAz4b1hE that being in his /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[08:58] <L3top> @ auronandace
[08:59] <padhu> auronandace: i am trying to install driver for HIS radeon hd6670 on ubuntu 10.04
[08:59] <auronandace> L3top: oh, i see
[09:00] <greenit> well... network is working with my notebook and my computer in windows, but not with my computer in ubuntu... plz help :S    i have a linksys dual-band wireless-n pci-adapter
[09:00] <xuserx> does anyone know how make ubuntu customization kit work with ubuntu12.04 ? >Failed to copy resolv.conf, error=1
[09:01] <L3top> padhu: leave your /etc/apt/sources.list alone... that looks normal... just handle the non working stuff in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[09:01] <auronandace> L3top: well, ppas are generally unsupported and he has a gnome3 ppa there too, which certainly breaks stuff on 10.04
[09:01] <FazzaJr> G'day
[09:01] <auronandace> L3top: why would he need a gnome3 ppa and a kubuntu ppa?
[09:01] <L3top> he wouldnt
[09:02] <padhu> L3top, auronandace: i am not installed gnome3.
[09:02] <L3top> I take it back... you have some stuff to get rid of in sources.list too padhu.
[09:02] <auronandace> padhu: its in that list
[09:03] <padhu> L3top: what is next? guide me
[09:03] <auronandace> padhu: seriously, start from scratch, a fresh install (avoid ppas in the future)
[09:03] <padhu> auronandace: ^^^
[09:03] <padhu> auronandace: no other way?
[09:03] <L3top> deb file:/nandhu/LocalRepository/ /       you should hash that out at least for now. and here http://pastebin.com/Nfja64rf drop lines 57 on
[09:04] <auronandace> padhu: simply having gnome3 on 10.04 will absolutely positively cause a broken system
[09:04] <L3top> It is possible the keys werent added
[09:04] <L3top> there was a LOT of failure as well
[09:04] <padhu> auronandace: i am not installed gnome 3 in ubuntu 10.04
[09:05] <padhu> auronandace: I just added ppa only
[09:05] <auronandace> padhu: why did you add the ppa if you aren't going to use it?
[09:05] <L3top> padhu: the suggestion is not that you installed it, but that the repo was avail... just clean that dir, and make those changes and do an update.
[09:06] <padhu> L3top: how?
[09:06] <L3top> In the future avoid, do not seek ppas
[09:06] <L3top> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:07] <L3top> delete everything below line 56
[09:07] <auronandace> !gksudo | L3top
[09:08] <L3top> Ok... I use vi, I didnt know to edit sources.list... ty auronandace
[09:08] <auronandace> L3top: no worries, i'm not as advanced as you, i use nano :)
[09:09] <auronandace> L3top: gedit is graphical so you use gksudo, nano and vi are commandline so you use sudo
[09:11] <robgraves> sup everybody?
[09:12] <L3top> understood... isn't there an easy way to use the gui to only select ubuntu repos?
[09:12] <L3top> something he can click that will not use "extra" things?
[09:12] <L3top> as you can see I don't use a gui much
[09:12] <auronandace> L3top: update manager has a settings thingy
[09:14] <padhu> L3top: okey, cleared, update is going on
[09:14] <L3top> padhu: open update manager... and only select the ubuntu repositories.
[09:14] <padhu> L3top: okey
[09:15] <L3top> That will be a lot easier than you going around whacking at things... I don't have an ubuntu up atm so I cannot tell you exactly what to click
[09:15] <laeusen> hello
[09:16] <L3top> please pastebin your update when it finishes padhu
[09:18] <laeusen> is there anybody out there who probably could help me to get pidgin running after yesterday's ubuntu 12.04 upgrade?
[09:18] <L3top> What is the problem exactly laeusen
[09:19] <laeusen> ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so
[09:19] <ratz> hi friends
[09:19] <marcin82> o/
[09:19] <laeusen> ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so
[09:19] <laeusen> sorry for pastig twice
[09:20] <ratz> i am using smbmount to mount a windows share, it is working fine, but it is setting uid:gid as root, how can i make it to mount as normal user?
[09:20] <L3top> I am not sure the proper fix for that laeusen, but I would try apt-get install --reinstall pidgin   to begin with.
[09:20] <jotwebe> ratz did you try -o users
[09:21] <L3top> sudo apt-get install --reinstall pidgin laeusen.
[09:21] <ChesterX> good morning everyone, is there already a way to install ppstream so it runs stable under 12.04?
[09:21] <ratz> jotwebe: yes but that is to use the windows user, i wish to mount it as a linux normal user
[09:22] <jotwebe> hmm, don't use it myself, that was what came to mind
[09:22] <ratz> jotwebe: no problems, thanks anyways
[09:23] <laeusen> no success
[09:23] <laeusen> but there is another error:
[09:23] <L3top> ok... what is that error laeusen
[09:23] <laeusen> ERROR: Could not load classifier cascade /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
[09:24] <laeusen> this was already there before, i did a mistake while copy'n pasting
[09:24] <greenit> any1 knows how i can see which wifi-driver i have installed?
[09:24] <txm> Morning.  Ubuntu 12.04, AWS, I want to override an AWS host in my local /etc/hosts but it's not working.  I've checked the order in host.conf and nsswitch.conf - any ideas? TIA
[09:24] <jefimenko> i was updating my laptop from 11.10 to 12.04. last i checked, the update process was at the "cleaning up" stage. i came back a few minutes later and now all i see is my desktop wallpaper. is it safe to just reboot?
[09:25] <jefimenko> there's no panel, icons, or anything
[09:25] <jefimenko> just the desktop background and mouse pointer
[09:25] <iksik_> is it safe to upgrade ubuntu to 12.04 LTS version?
[09:25] <auronandace> iksik_: i've always fresh installed
[09:25] <iksik_> my update manager just notified me, that it is possible to upgrade it now
[09:26] <sburjan> I am doing the upgrade as we speak, and it seems slower than a clean install
[09:26] <Guest1918> I'm having an issue where everytime I open up a window it opens near the top of the screen and it's a pain to try to and move each window with the top bar covering it. Is there anyway to fix this?
[09:26] <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] <laeusen> well, my background picture was lost and pidgin is not working, everything else seems to be fine but I did not spend too much time to discover any further issues
[09:26] <iksik_> well, i'm just after a fresh install of 11.04 and upgrade to 11.10
[09:27] <iksik_> sburjan: how long it will take? ;-)
[09:27] <sburjan> mine tells me still 3 hours :))
[09:27] <L3top> laeusen: can you ls -l /home/$USER and see if you own your home dir?
[09:27] <iksik_> sburjan: damn ;-D
[09:28] <iksik_> is it worth?
[09:28] <L3top> There is Guest1918... and for the life of me I can't remember it.
[09:28] <tatty> Heard ubuntu 12.04 32 bit added new module to support more than 3gb ram on 32bit os
[09:28] <sburjan> iksik_: if you don't have any precious data, you can do a clean install
[09:29] <Guest1918> L3top dang...it's driving me up the wall
[09:29] <Guest1918> It's so annoying
[09:29] <Guest1918> haha
[09:29] <auronandace> !pae | tatty
[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 :(
[09:30] <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] <auronandace> tatty: i think so yes
[09:30] <auronandace> iksik_: 12.04 is lts and unity has improved
[09:30] <whistlingpig> hey all, may anybody tell me where to put "xrandr -o left" to get an already rotated login screen in ubunte 12.04? Thank you very much!
[09:31] <laeusen> L3top, yes I am owner
[09:31] <savask> Hello. After an upgrade to 12.04, GUI doesn't boot. I get a message from my monitor: "Cannot display this video mode. lalala" What can I do about this? My video card is Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT.
[09:31] <manitou> hi there , i get strange issue with ath9k , only thing i did is make "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1"  here is syslog grep ath  http://paste.ubuntu.com/959525/
[09:32] <PsynoKhi0> tatty, I think 12.04 is the last release without the PAE kernel being default, although should the installer find more than 4GB of RAM on the machine, it will pull the PAE kernel
[09:32] <tatty> Please install nvidia propoetary deiver from repo
[09:32] <fernando_> hi, I can't login in ubuntu 12.04, after I write my password nothing happens,., I can see in the lightm.log file that the process failed to open my wallpapers which is in a second partition..
[09:33] <iksik_> auronandace: what 'lts' means?
[09:33] <rodhash> Hello guys....
[09:33] <rodhash> Is there any keypress counter for ubuntu??
[09:33] <L3top> savask: did you install the proprietary driver?
[09:33] <fernando_> where is the configuration file for the wallpapers?
[09:33] <auronandace> iksik_: long term support, 5 years
[09:33] <iksik_> oh
[09:33] <iksik_> ok, thanks
[09:33] <iksik_> so... i'll try with upgrade ;-)
[09:34] <savask> L3top: Yes, I believe, cause my card worked for me since I installed Ubuntu.
[09:34] <L3top> can you get to a terminal by pressing ctrl alt f2, or via ssh on the machine?
[09:34] <auronandace> iksik_: the default support period for non-lts is 18 months, starting with 12.04 lts is 5 years for both desktop and server, previous lts releases were 3 years for desktop and 5 years for server
[09:35] <savask> L3top: I'm on it now.
[09:35] <savask> It's so awful XD
[09:35] <L3top> savask: apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep Installed
[09:35] <padhu> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959531/
[09:36] <savask> L3top: If I want to go to the terminal I have to quit irssi, right? I have nvidia-current installed, btw.
[09:37] <nachokk> anyone here?
[09:37] <auronandace> savask: or open another terminal
[09:37] <L3top> well thats much nicer padhu... sudo apt-get -f install
[09:37] <savask> auronandace: Yeah, that's the way.
[09:37] <auronandace> nachokk: indeed
[09:38] <padhu> L3top: update manager shows 'run partial upgrade' window now
[09:38] <fernando_> does anybody know where is the configuration file for the background for a session?
[09:38] <L3top> I would do that next.
[09:38] <nachokk> is it possible to make a useful image of my c: drive to another local hdd? for backup purposes (using ubuntu)?
[09:39] <padhu> L3top: am i continue?
[09:39] <srinivas> In some log in sessions the mouse is freezing.even in the settings the touch-pad is not detected when the mouse is frozen.is there any reason for this.if there is how to fix this? my laptop is lenovo z560
[09:39] <laeusen> nachokk, probably using dd...?
[09:39] <L3top> savask: I am tempted to suggest that you run nvidia-xconfigure
[09:39] <auronandace> nachokk: sure, you'd need to know which partition your windows drive is
[09:39] <savask> L3top: Okay, hope I'll return back.
[09:40] <L3top> padhu did you run sudo apt-get -f install
[09:40] <nachokk> okay thanks
[09:40] <padhu> yes, running...
[09:40] <L3top> padhu: tell me if you end in dpkg errors
[09:41] <savask> L3top: It displayed some warnings and said that a new configure is written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:41] <L3top> lets reboot and cross fingers savask
[09:41] <savask> Okay
[09:41] <maroufi> hi
[09:42] <maroufi> I'm using ubuntu 12.04 . the left click doesnt work sometimes. any help?
[09:42] <L3top> that sounds like hw error maroufi. Do you have another mouse you can plug in and see if the error continues?
[09:42] <padhu> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959540/
[09:43] <maroufi> L3top:  yes. same issue
[09:43] <padhu> L3top: shows error (1)
[09:43] <srinivas> i'm using ubuntu 12.04.mouse is freezing sometimes.what shall i do?
[09:43] <L3top> padhu: sudo apt-get remove fglxr
[09:44] <L3top> padhu: actually you should purge
[09:44] <glosoli> how to disable that *** thing that Unity Dash changes it's background colors depending on wallpaper???
[09:45] <savask> L3top: Sorry to say, but crossed fingers didn't help.
[09:45] <padhu> L3top: removed
[09:45] <L3top> padhu: sudo apt-get --purge remove fglxr
[09:46] <L3top> padhu:then sudo apt-get install fglrx
[09:46] <WulRadyanyska> why ubuntu is completely stoned when it reads from or writes to hard disk? it's like windows 98 again
[09:47] <L3top> savask: your chipset is definitely covered under 295... but some people are having problems with the .40 version, however I am not convinced that is your issue.
[09:47] <WulRadyanyska> even numlock key lags
[09:47] <ziyadb__> WulRadyanyska: reduce swappiness.
[09:47] <savask> L3top: Eh, thanks for help. Hope I'm not blessed to work in terminal all my life.
[09:48] <ziyadb__> WulRadyanyska: assuming you have large enough RAM.
[09:48] <ziyadb__> >= 4 GB.
[09:48] <Yeti_69> !fr
[09:48] <rhumbot> hi all. i just installed ubuntu 12.04. and my internet is not working properly any more. installing and downloading all packages already took me like 4 hours. Now i am trying to install R and downloading the 130MB takes another 2 hours ...
[09:48] <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.
[09:49] <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] <Boreeas> Is there a way to make the change permanent?
[09:49] <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 ?
[09:50] <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.
[09:51] <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 ..
[09:52] <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.
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <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.
[09:55] <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 ?
[09:56] <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?
[09:57] <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
[09:59] <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
[10:00] <L3top> but what depends on libclutter laeusen?
[10:01] <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 ;-)
[10:02] <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?
[10:03] <dr_willis> !hostname | samfisher
[10:03] <laeusen> well, I need to keep on trying later, thank you so far

[10:05] <meltinpot> someone know how remove the incomple istallation of oracle-java7-installer?
[10:05] <dr_willis> mirak:  most people are happy to get flash working at all....

[10:05] <fernando_> I have a problem with my background.. I use ubuntu-tweak to set a background which is in a second partition.. and now after login nothing happens..
[10:05] <fernando_> I need to reset the background
[10:06] <fernando_> but I dont know how...
[10:06] <Fleck> You can disable vesafb in grub by passing it a nonsensical parameter. E.g.: vesafb.nonsense=1 << anyone can explain - how do i pass to grub? comes from ubuntu wiki...
[10:06] <fernando_> any ideas?
[10:06] <dr_willis> fernando_:  you mean getg the default desktop wallpaper back?
[10:06] <fernando_> dr_willis, yes
[10:06] <fonecode> LjL: nice...
[10:06] <dr_willis> right click on desktop. cchange wallpaper/background and select it...
[10:07] <fernando_> dr_willis, I can't login
[10:07] <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
[10:08] <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] <Fleck> dr_willis that will not keep that parm...
[10:08] <dr_willis> fernando_:  you can login to the console?
[10:08] <fonecode> Running 11.10 in Virtualbox.  anyone have render issues in windows with graphics getting distorted?
[10:08] <Fleck> ill have to edit every boot time
[10:08] <fernando_> dr_willis, yes
[10:08] <dr_willis> Fleck:  of course not. if you want it perm. you edit the grub configs and refun update-grub

[10:11] <dr_willis> Defuera:  its taling what you type in.. which is a little weird.
[10:11] <Defuera> l3top, is says tail: warning: following standard input indefinitely is ineffective
[10:11] <x_XP> dr_willis: thanks i will do some reading
[10:11] <L3top> lol...
[10:12] <savask> L3top: Thanks, still.
[10:12] <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] <dr_willis> fernando_:  or make a new user and see if theey have the same login issue
[10:12] <fernando_> dr_willis, how can I create a new user from the console?
[10:13] <Defuera> ok, i just reinstall it, it will be easier and faster ^_^
[10:13] <L3top> oh... savask...

[10:16] <DJones> Guest that does talk about 11.04, so it may be a little bit out of date

[10:17] <ThinkT510> how do i change the background colour of the buttons of the unity bar?
[10:17] <L3top> I always surround globs with patterns... just cause.
[10:17] <fonecode> unity is meant to target people who like macs?   i dun like it (
[10:18] <greenit> i have a problem with my wifi-network... after update to 12.04 it does not work anymore after some time... i have a linksys wmp600n network-card, plz help! :S
[10:18] <ThinkT510> fonecode: i've never owned a mac and never will but unity isn't as bad as i thought it would be
[10:19] <mattbuntu> If I want to install new themes in 12.04 - am I looking for GTK3 themes, or Compiz themes, or something else? It's stock 12.04, just installed :)
[10:19] <L3top> ok I need a little sleep... what happened to padhu?
[10:19] <fonecode> ThinkT510: what i don't like is everything is so big and in your face..  i like small with details :/
[10:19] <ThinkT510> fonecode: i've adjusted the size of the launchers on the right, that makes it more bearable
[10:20] <dr_willis> fonecode: wait till you turn 40+
[10:20] <fonecode> hah
[10:20] <padhu> L3top: package is downloading. okey, good night. i will post the result on pastebin. are you have an email?
[10:20] <L3top> I will just wait.
[10:20] <dr_willis> i do resize the icons and unlock most of them
[10:20] <L3top> wont be that much longer
[10:20] <L3top> should be around 80% yes?
[10:20] <ThinkT510> how do i change the background colour of the buttons of the unity bar?
[10:21] <dr_willis> ThinkT510:  in 12.04 they auto change :)
[10:21] <dr_willis> based on wallpaper
[10:21] <ThinkT510> dr_willis: i'd like them all clear
[10:22] <savask> L3top: Nah, doesn't work.
[10:22] <dr_willis> check the unity tweak guides and tools
[10:22] <iksik_> lol
[10:22] <iksik_> upgrade to 12.04 ETA: 11 hours :D
[10:23] <fernando_> dr_willis, a new user didn't work.. however I can login as guest..
[10:23] <mattbuntu> iksik_: why wait so long? XD
[10:23] <dr_willis> bbl.
[10:23] <padhu> L3top: my network is slow. i think this will take an 15 min
[10:23] <iksik_> mattbuntu: it will not disturb my work, so... i don't really care ;-D
[10:24] <L3top> so... about 80% :P
[10:24] <mattbuntu> iksik_: haha fair enough! it is the best release I have ever used, so solid and fast ;-)
[10:24] <iksik_> hm 8h
[10:25] <iksik_> mattbuntu: good to know, cause i have no idea why i need to use unity 2d right now :P
[10:25] <L3top> savask... I really hate letting the machine win.

[10:25] <sabrehagen> hi, i just logged out to see if there was a GNOME classic session option, but all i was presented with was ubuntu and ubuntu 2D

[10:26] <auronandace> deiu: greetings
[10:27] <deiu> I have a ThinkPad T420 running 12.04. After resuming from suspend, the touchpad doesn't work anymore. However, scrolling with the touchpad works! Any ideas?
[10:27] <xuserx> can you help me?
[10:27] <ThinkT510> deiu: i like your taste in laptops
[10:28] <sabrehagen> Hi! How do I set which monitor I want to be the primary monitor? i have tried xrandr --output DFP11 --primary, but this only persisted till i logged out
[10:28] <deiu> :)
[10:28] <synergizm> hi guys yesterday my ubuntu 11.10 64 was running fine. i installed anjuta and my system wouldnt boot again. i removed it using the recovery mode but now it sais it cant load module "nvidia" when i type startx
[10:29] <padhu> L3top: installing......
[10:29] <toto456> hi
[10:29] <deiu> I guess I'm the only one with this problem...
[10:29] <toto456> why isn't the package libdigest-sha1-perl available anymore.
[10:29] <toto456> ?
[10:30] <drostie-live> okay how the #$%^ do I get a console window in unity, and why the @#$% didn't it come with an IRC client?
[10:30] <ThinkT510> deiu: sorry, i never use hibernate or suspend
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> drostie-live  ctrl-alt t
[10:30] <deiu> ThinkT510, thanks anyway! :)
[10:30] <padhu> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959607/
[10:31] <drostie-live> MonkeyDust: thanks. what's the name of the program, in case I ever want to alt to it?
[10:31] <MonkeyDust> drostie-live  terminal, or gnome-terminal
[10:32] <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] <sabrehagen> hi, does anybody know how to set the primary monitor?
[10:32] <drostie-live> MonkeyDust, yeah, no, it's not showing up under the alt launcher under "terminal" or "gnome". :x
[10:32] <toto456> why isn't the package libdigest-sha1-perl available anymore?
[10:32] <drostie-live> Is there a way to get a list of all the programs installed?
[10:33] <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
[10:34] <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*
[10:35] <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.
[10:36] <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
[10:37] <L3top> All too familiar with that synergizm.
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> drostie-live  the phase your in is called 'learning', something we all had to do, please don't keep us informed about your proceedings
[10:37] <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?
[10:38] <padhu> L3top: then how can i clear this?
[10:38] <synergizm> L3top: u mean [10de:0402] _
[10:38] <L3top> yup... one second.
[10:39] <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?
[10:40] <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 :-(
[10:41] <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
[10:42] <padhu> L3top: it's the time to reinstall with Ubuntu 12.04. i am going to backup the files first
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <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] <APoulos> hey folks, I could use some help with something
[10:45] <APoulos> if anyone is up and willing to take the time to help me I'd be very appreciative
[10:45] <savask> synergizm: Eh, just my monitor says that it can't handle this video mode and so on. Shell works for me too :-P

[10:49] <mcdonc> alecm_: i wrote supervisor ;-)  i'm afraid it wont go past 1024 files very easily
[10:51] <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
[10:52] <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
[10:53] <mcdonc> so if you're going over that, i'm afraid you'll need to run multiple supervisor instances
[10:53] <alecm_> ah.
[10:53] <captine> was fine all day after i turned off IPV6 option in network manager, but now, the card doesnt seem to be working.
[10:53] <alecm_> i didn't realise the limit was in supervisord as opposed to limits.conf or something else :/
[10:54] <abdo> hey
[10:54] <captine> it sees my network, but just wont connect

[11:04] <dalek_> How do I get breadcrumbs view back in the location bar in Unity? I have org>gnome>nautilus>preferences>always-use-location-entry in dconf-editor set to false (un checked box)... text location still persists. Even after logout and rebooting. Using Ubuntu 11.10
[11:04] <mcdonc> as far as i know utterly experimental
[11:04] <sunil-maharana> hhuhh
[11:04] <mcdonc> not stable in the slightest
[11:04] <alecm_> Uhuh. Darn.

[11:04] <johnyyy> hello, i'm getting this error -bash: pico: command not found
[11:04] <johnyyy> can you tell me how can i edit the file with another command? nano its not working either
[11:05] <PsyberS`> so unity has no idea i have gnome-terminal's open, which means i cant alt-tab to them and if i click the terminal icon in the launcher it just opens new instances - any way to fix this?
[11:05] <FlyingFoX> is there a way to manually start the kubuntu upgrade process? i tried apt-get dist-upgrade but it doesn't seem to work.

[11:05] <Maxwell> Hello I am having  this problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/959674/
[11:05] <iceroot> FlyingFoX: upgrade to another ubuntu version or update with security updates?

[11:07] <escott> dalek_, you could check if gconf-editor shows something different but it is supposed to be using dconf

[11:07] <mcdonc> alecm_: how many processes are you trying to run?
[11:08] <alecm_> ~1000 php processes, which'll each access ~200 files intermittently
[11:08] <johnyyy> i've tried to use "gedit filename" but it gives me the same error.. and when i try to apt-get install gedit it says FATAL -> Failed to fork
[11:08] <captine> sary, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/959676/
[11:09] <iceroot> johnyyy: what is the output of "cat /etc/issue"?
[11:09] <captine> sary, sorry for the delay.  was reading on askubuntu
[11:09] <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
[11:10] <dalek_> escott, that fixed it! always-use-location-entry was set to true in gconf-editor. Now breadcrumbs buttons have come back.
[11:10] <alecm_> it's the php processes that are encountering errors trying to open the ~200 files
[11:10] <Maxwell> Hello, when I am trying to launch the game it instantly crashes and I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/959674/
[11:11] <sary> captine: np at all :) , goood ..
[11:11] <mcdonc> alecm_: ok.. that's not really supervisor's issue then.
[11:11] <_raven> ffmpeg: how to combine/splice two video files? cat|ffmpeg?
[11:11] <mcdonc> alecm_: each php process is a separate process so has its own filehandle limit
[11:11] <dalek_> Am I supposed to have both gconf-tools and dconf-tools installed in Ubuntu 11.10 or should I remove gconf-tools?
[11:11] <alecm_> mcdonc: ahh, okay
[11:12] <FlyingFoX> Maxwell: it looks like you are missing some packages. have a look in the readme file in your game. it might tell you what you need before you can run your game.
[11:12] <mcdonc> alecm_: but a thousand processes is a lot of processes
[11:12] <johnyyy> iceroot: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS \n \l
[11:12] <alecm_> mcdonc: i know, we're needing to up the ram to manage it
[11:12] <mcdonc> alecm_: we usually get by with maybe ten here on a single machine (albeit under python)
[11:13] <iceroot> Maxwell: sudo apt-get install libxml2
[11:13] <airdem> how can i give a user gksudo acces??
[11:13] <alecm_> mcdonc: these are *fairly* lightweight processes, running on what will be a 64GB machine
[11:13] <escott> dalek_, i would keep both. it is supposed to be dconf from 11.10 up, but not all apps have made the switch, and in some cases it seems their might be problems if dconf/gconf disagree
[11:13] <captine> sary, i have the STA restricted driver installed
[11:13] <iceroot> johnyyy: can you also paste the output of "dpkg -l gedit"
[11:13] <johnyyy> No packages found matching gedit.
[11:13] <Maxwell> I am trying to launch it thrue desura so the is no readme
[11:14] <qtbchin> hey i am looking for some basic instructions on how to get DDRESCUE to run on systemrescueCD... i know NOTHING about linux, but this is my only option
[11:14] <iceroot> Maxwell: also  sudo apt-get install libproxy1
[11:14] <Maxwell> iceroot, I already have libxml2 installed
[11:14] <Maxwell> iceroot, libproxy1 installed too
[11:14] <iceroot> Maxwell: amd64 system?
[11:15] <Maxwell> No 32bit system.
[11:15] <mcdonc> alecm_: ok, well you know your setup better than i do, but i'd suggest maybe rethinking a bit.. i can't imagine a scenario where a web application would need 1000 processes unless each process was a *different* webapp (and then you'd likely need multiple machines anyway)
[11:15] <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
[11:16] <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: no
[11:16] <Maxwell> iceroot: I tried to google but havent found any solution.. :(
[11:16] <ThinkT510> qtbchin: i'm guessing it wouldn't be installed on the systemrescuecd because most utilities are run as root
[11:16] <mcdonc> you wrote a worker system in php?
[11:16] <alecm_> mcdonc: yes, yes we did
[11:16] <mcdonc> ooo kay. ;-)
[11:17] <alecm_> mcdonc: :) as much as i hate php..
[11:17] <lars_> Hello!
[11:17] <lars_> Ubuntu is getting better and better
[11:17] <jalcine> as always :)
[11:17] <alecm_> mcdonc: I'm looking around, I can't figure out how to increase the ulimit for the spawned php processes
[11:18] <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> hey thinkt510, thanks. the only thing i need is ddrescue so i can take an image of a bad drive... once i have the terminal window open with root access, what is a good place to start?
[11:18] <bmoez> et
[11:18] <alecm_> mcdonc: the vast majority of jobs at any one time will be waiting on database/3rd party http apis
[11:19] <mcdonc> alecm_: ok.. well, then you still dont need a thousand of them if 900 of them are waiting right
[11:19] <rodhash> Hello guys....
[11:19] <rodhash> Is there any keypress counter for ubuntu??
[11:19] <ThinkT510> qtbchin: i've never used ddrescue, are you making an image of a bad drive with ubuntu on it?
[11:19] <jita> which app is default for taking screenshots in ubuntu ?
[11:19] <lars_> Gnome - Screenshot
[11:19] <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
[11:20] <mcdonc> i think you need to check that assumption, tbh
[11:20] <mcdonc> but you know better than i do
[11:20] <ThinkT510> qtbchin: in that case you might want to ask in ##linux instead, we only support ubuntu here
[11:20] <Myrtti> rodhash: workrave?
[11:20] <Maxwell> iceroot: no more solutions? :(
[11:21] <qtbchin> thanks, i'll try there again
[11:21] <alecm_> mcdonc: eh, hard to explain, but basically it's working fine with a 50% of production load, apart from this php emitting "failed to open stream: Too many open files" errors
[11:21] <LjL> ThinkT510: actually i'd say if he's trying to do that *on* Ubuntu, it's on-topic here
[11:21] <Maxwell> any solutions for this  http://paste.ubuntu.com/959674/ >
[11:21] <ThinkT510> LjL: he isn't, he is using systemrescuecd
[11:22] <LjL> ThinkT510: ah, missed that
[11:22] <AceKing> How can  I set Unetbootin to launch without requiring a password?
[11:23] <ThinkT510> AceKing: too much effort to type in a password?
[11:23] <LjL> AceKing: why would you do that? Unetbootin has the ability to completely wipe your main drive. it better ask for permission
[11:23] <i> hey
[11:23] <AceKing> LjL: I'm the only one who uses my PC
[11:24] <mcdonc> alecm_: ok, well if i were you i'd take it down to 250 workers or so and see how it does
[11:24] <AceKing> ThinkT510: I do have a rather long and complicated password.. But does that matter?
[11:24] <rodhash> any idea?
[11:24] <Maxwell> Help  http://paste.ubuntu.com/959674/
[11:25] <jk_> ubuntu-es
[11:25] <LjL> jk_: /join #ubuntu-es
[11:25] <ThinkT510> AceKing: disabling the password would allow anyone (and any other program/script) to use unetbootin (and alter your drives), you don't want that risk
[11:25] <panx> hello
[11:25] <ikonia> Maxwell: you'll find you'll get better responses by actually talking to people rather than just saying "HELP! $URL"
[11:25] <jita> Maxwell, which game ?
[11:26] <ThinkT510> panx: greetings
[11:26] <alecm_> mcdonc: i think we're going to do some experimenting when it comes to finalising hardware choice, we'll work out the optimal cost/throughput setup
[11:26] <Maxwell> jita: Shadowgrounds
[11:26] <panx> I cannot install Adobe Air in 12.04 - hje saying thah im must install gnome-keyring before instalation Adobe Air, but [...]gnome-keyring  is in newet version, so
[11:27] <jita> Maxwell, get windows 7 if you want to play games
[11:27] <ferni> AceKing: chmod +s /usr/bin/unetbootin
[11:27] <limitgb> hi can anybody help me with an bootloader and efi problem?
[11:27] <panx> ?
[11:27] <AceKing> ThinkT510: when you say anyone, that means they would have to be physically sitting in front of my PC correct?
[11:27] <Maxwell> I got rid of windows 7 just yesterday
[11:27] <AceKing> ferni: Thank you!
[11:27] <ThinkT510> AceKing: or connected remotely
[11:27] <rodhash> Hello guys....
[11:27] <Maxwell> jita: but the game should work no? :)
[11:27] <rodhash> Is there any keypress counter for ubuntu??
[11:27] <alecm_> mcdonc: i'm still struggling to see where i can increase the open file limit of each php process, any idea?
[11:27] <sary> captine: Yeah ! you might have a few drivers installed .. am sure the driver got a name :)
[11:27] <panx> so what i can do?
[11:28] <AceKing> ThinkT510: I have remote connections off
[11:28] <llutz_> AceKing: you could modify sudoers line "aceking ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/unebootin"  to run it without password. more info in "man sudoers"
[11:28] <AceKing> llutz_: Thank you
[11:28] <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?
[11:28] <jita> mcdonc, afaik pyramid creator ?
[11:29] <mcdonc> alecm_: my only guess is that the shell ulimit is getting you, so you might try playing around with ulimit -n
[11:29] <ecthiender> Hi, I'm not sure if this the right place to ask. I want to back up my music collection which is over 50GB and in mp3. I want to compress the collecti
[11:29] <ecthiender> on so that I can put it up in multiple places. What kind of compression can I use to get maximum compression? Then again I don't want to lose the quality of audio files, it is already in mp3.
[11:29] <ubuntu_> i want to know install icons etc from gnom-look site is safe?
[11:29] <mcdonc> jita: yep hi
[11:29] <jita> mcdonc, hi sir how are you ?
[11:29] <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 . My wifi card is an intel 5100 AGN card
[11:29] <mcdonc> jita: pretty good, thanks for asking and you
[11:29] <akem_> hey, i'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and the screensaver preference doesn't shows up, it segfault when i try to run it from terminal and i noticed several "xdg-screensaver" process in the background, anyone got this issue already? tried to fix without success atm.
[11:30] <jita> mcdonc, same here, thanks. Do you use ubuntu as a main OS ?
[11:30] <ubuntu_> anybody here?
[11:30] <akem_> i think i will just try to disable gnome-screensaver from starting up.
[11:30] <ThinkT510> ubuntu_: many are
[11:31] <mcdonc> jita: yes, just updated to 12.04
[11:31] <ubuntu_> i want to know install icon etc from gnome-look.org site is safe?
[11:31] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  its not like an icon is going to have a virus.
[11:31] <limitgb> someone, please?
[11:31] <jita> mcdonc, same here. Its much better than its predecessors :)
[11:31] <alecm_> mcdonc: I'll keep fiddling, cheers for the suggestion
[11:31] <ThinkT510> ecthiender: you won't get much compression since they are mp3s
[11:31] <ubuntu_> you mean it can have virus?
[11:31] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  a lot of those themes are for the older gnome2
[11:31] <sary> ghaith: looks like an issue with your network connection from you ISP ..
[11:31] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  its not going to be a issue
[11:32] <Maxwell>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/959674/ having this problem when trying to launch shadowgrounds
[11:32] <mcdonc> jita: yep, i appreciate the efforts of the canonical folks... seems to work here anyway ;)
[11:32] <ubuntu_> i am doughtfull they can hide malicious code ..coz it third party
[11:32] <ecthiender> ThinkT510, hmm.
[11:32] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  you are not going to get a 'virus' from png image files.
[11:33] <ecthiender> so I just tar.gz it and put it up in multiple places ThinkT510 ?
[11:33] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  and the fact youa re using linux makes it even less likely ;)
[11:33] <ghaith> sary, not really, all other devices are connected, and the laptop was connected normally just before i did the 12.04 install, it was also connected from windows
[11:33] <ThinkT510> ecthiender: yup
[11:33] <Aleo> Hi all
[11:33] <ubuntu_> image can hide virus..but only asking gnome-look is trusted
[11:33] <sary> captine: For some cards , an additional set of drivers is incorrectly loaded, effectively disabling wireless networking by generating two apparent wifi cards where there should only be one.One of those drivers should not be loaded, and should be blacklisted.
[11:33] <jita> mcdonc, i thought all the python devs use mac :P
[11:33] <diomidis> hello everyone.I have a compaq presario cq57 and my wireless is disabled permanently. I tried both 12.04 and 11.10 but nothing happened

[11:34] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  ive never seen a case of a virus in a png.  gnome-look is a very established site.
[11:34] <mcdonc> jita: nope
[11:34] <captine> ok.  i had disabled some on 10.10.  could the upgrade to 12.04 have re-enabled?
[11:34] <jita> mcdonc, good to know that :)
[11:34] <dante__xzf> Suppose that your locale settings are good, what could be the reason that two different programs use non-readable encoding?Could it be that they have a buggy common dependency?
[11:34] <ubuntu_> @dr willis image contain virrus if someone want to ..
[11:34] <limitgb> I keep getting this error at the end of 12.04 installation: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/451/img20120501123054.jpg
[11:35] <Maxwell> hello maybe somebody knows how to fix this?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/959674/
[11:35] <ecthiender> ThinkT510, hmm okay. I would let you know. you are regular in this channel I believe.
[11:35] <ThinkT510> ecthiender: yes
[11:35] <ecthiender> ThinkT510, when I compress it
[11:35] <krolik_skacze> diomidis - sorry, private message is not the way ..
[11:35] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  and how do you 'execute' a image.... but this is getting OT.
[11:35] <ecthiender> ThinkT510, will let you know
[11:35] <akem_> ok i reinstalled it and it's ok.

[11:42] <ThinkT510> limitgb: hmm, strange
[11:42] <LjL> Total_Oblivion: type "keyboard layout" into the unity shell, and add a greek layout
[11:42] <limitgb> when i was trying to customize the partitioning i got a message telling me the i need...
[11:42] <captine> thanks sary.  been fiddling.  going to reboot.  not sure how to reload these things without a reboot (i added b43 to the blacklist.conf to see what will happen)
[11:42] <tfb> Honestly, I haven't re-installed a boot loader since lilo, so I'm not sure where to start
[11:42] <sary> ghaith: run the command sudo lsmod , that will show a list of kernel modules that are loaded and running ..when lshw was run, you saw the name of the driver allocated to the device driver=iwlwifi .
[11:42] <limitgb> wait, i have an screenshot too
[11:43] <panx> Total_Oblivion, or using ibus :P
[11:43] <Total_Oblivion> Ljl: unity shell is?
[11:43] <Total_Oblivion> LjL: unity shell is?
[11:43] <sary> ghaith: now run lsmod | grep iwlwifi
[11:43] <LjL> Total_Oblivion: click on the first icon at the top left
[11:43] <LjL> Total_Oblivion: type "keyboard layout" there, if you're using English ubuntu the keyboard layout settings should appear
[11:43] <sary> captine: reload i with modprobe

[11:46] <mcdonc> jita: emacs
[11:46] <limitgb> so i decided to use default installation but then i get that error
[11:46] <ThinkT510> limitgb: has anyone tried to install osx on that machine?
[11:46] <limitgb> i try live-cd, sd-card...
[11:46] <limitgb> nope
[11:46] <jita> mcdonc, ok
[11:46] <limitgb> it's a Acer 3810T
[11:46] <limitgb> and came with the Original OS, Vista
[11:46] <ThinkT510> limitgb: i can't think why it would use efi partitioning
[11:47] <limitgb> me neither
[11:47] <limitgb> even the laptop is like 3 years old
[11:47] <ThinkT510> limitgb: does vista still work or have you wiped it off?
[11:47] <dante__xzf> I've got an encoding problem with libreoffice and virtualbox http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/screenshotlbz.png/ . All other programs work fine, I've tried changing locale but it didn't work.
[11:47] <limitgb> hehehe
[11:47] <limitgb> no Vista right now
[11:47] <limitgb> :d
[11:47] <ThinkT510> limitgb: anything on the harddrive you want to keep?

[11:49] <ghaith> sary, no there's the module, and then it's referenced by 2 others in the Used by column (mac80211 and cfg80211)
[11:50] <ThinkT510> limitgb: if not then i'd fire up gparted and give it a dos partition layout (mbr), that will effectively wipe out everything on the disk
[11:50] <limitgb> let me try right now
[11:50] <ThinkT510> limitgb: if you do have something you want to keep back it up before you do the partition table

[11:56] <hRL> need help, i am getting error while installing ubuntu 12.4 in windows 7
[11:56] <Dr_willis> you mean an error while using the WUBI installer HRl?
[11:57] <hRL> Dr_willis it yes, it gets install 100% but i get error while it creates log file
[11:57] <limitgb> ThinkT510, at first sight at least i'm not getting the alert while partitioning
[11:57] <limitgb> :D
[11:57] <ghaith> sary, i just thought of something, i've done a bios update earlier today, and totally ignored the fact that it might be related. Is there a way to know if this might be the issue?
[11:57] <ThinkT510> limitgb: awesome
[11:59] <limitgb> ThinkT510, so it was related with the type of partition table
[11:59] <limitgb> in fact, before i had no option to create a logical or primary partition
[11:59] <ThinkT510> limitgb: seems so, i just thought it was odd for an acer to use efi, hence i asked about it
[11:59] <limitgb> :D
[12:01] <hRL> need help, i am getting error while installing ubuntu 12.4 in windows 7 via wubi
[12:01] <najum> how do i right click
[12:01] <ThinkT510> limitgb: not sure how many partitions efi supports, but msdos does 4 primary (thus the need for logical partitions)
[12:01] <LjL> najum: by pressing the right mouse button?
[12:02] <najum> why doesnt it work??LJL...it doesnt do anything when i right click
[12:02] <ThinkT510> najum: what are you rightclicking on?
[12:03] <najum> it opens the windows instead of giving me shortcut menus
[12:03] <najum> just maybe trying to access shortcut menu..for instance i want to open a video using a different program..or renaming files
[12:04] <Guest45229> Does anybody know how to add menus in unity?
[12:04] <escott> !info alacarte | Guest45229
[12:04] <ThinkT510> Guest45229: add menus? menus for what?
[12:05] <minepy> Hi everybody. I have some problems about rhythmbox+mp3+nfs under Precise Pangolin. Can somebody help me please ?
[12:05] <hRL> ThinkT510 can you help me please
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> 'a la carte' is French and means 'on the menu'
[12:06] <escott> hRL, what is the error message exactly?
[12:06] <ThinkT510> hRL: i don't use wubi, so sorry i can't
[12:07] <najum> ThinkT510..it opens the windows instead of giving me shortcut menus
[12:07] <hRL> escott i get premission denied error while it creates log in temp file
[12:07] <Guest45229> I've only ever been able to add to pre-existing menus with alacarte (eg, add an application to the applications menu).  The Applications, Places and System menus are all missing.  How can I add them?
[12:07] <ThinkT510> najum: and what about leftclick?
[12:08] <sburjan> Hello. I upgraded to the latest version, and I had sound. But soething happend and I don't have anything in the input and output fields in the Volume Mixer near the clock
[12:08] <najum> ThinkT510: left click works fine
[12:09] <escott> hRL, the exact error message would help. can you post a screenshot or something? I cant tell if this is permission denied creating a log in windows or permission denied inside the wubi install
[12:09] <ThinkT510> najum: maybe check the mouse settings
[12:09]  * tfb crosses fingers
[12:09] <hRL> ya escott, where should i post screen shot
[12:09] <escott> !paste | hRL
[12:10] <Guest45229> basically I need to get the current version functioning EXACTLY like ubuntu alwa
[12:10] <jacksonaxe> Does anyone in here know how to bypass the password in Ubuntu.
[12:11] <Guest45229> yss has done.  I've got a fair few computers to re-install and I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of people complaining at me because everything has changed.
[12:11] <ThinkT510> Guest45229: gnome2 is dead, consider alternatives, gnome3 has a fallback mode, or you could use xfce
[12:11] <hRL> ok, hold on escott
[12:11] <jacksonaxe> I bought a used pc that has Ubuntu on it.. the other guy couldn't remember it
[12:11] <Dr_willis> jacksonaxe,  id say do a reinstall..

[12:12] <jacksonaxe> I will check that out thanks....
[12:12] <Guest45229> I've tried gnome3  the system menu is still missing in that.  I need to get everthing back to the way ubuntu has always looked, and quickly.

[12:13] <n00by> are there graphs of the network usage for the ubuntu repo servers somewhere?
[12:13] <hRL> escott i have posted screenshot
[12:13] <escott> hRL, thats not saying permission denied when creating the logfile. its saying permission denied SEE the log file for more details. wee need to see that referenced logfile
[12:13] <ThinkT510> Guest45229: perhaps you aren't listening, gnome2 is dead, the gnome devs no longer support it so it will no longer be an option
[12:13] <LinuxMonkey> !password | jacksonaxe
[12:13] <hRL> escott can you help me with that please ..
[12:14] <escott> hRL, if you will paste that file we can look at it
[12:14] <n00by> the repo servers seem to be very slow right now?
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> Guest45229  I use ubuntu classic (fallback?), it's looks very much like gnome2, no whistles and bells
[12:14] <hRL> escott you want log file?
[12:15] <abdo> can i install amarok on kubuntu 11.1
[12:15] <escott> hRL, yes. the log file referenced in the error dialog should contain a detailed description of what went wrong
[12:15] <ThinkT510> hRL: when you post a screenshot to imagebin.org you need to give us the url here, so we can see it
[12:15] <Guest45229> thanks ubottu.  Any way i can change the ISO so I only have to make the changes once, rather than on every machine I reinstall?
[12:15] <hRL> ThinkT510 here is the url http://imagebin.org/210467
[12:15] <n00by> Guest45229, uBOTtu is a script
[12:16] <tarvid_> divx 5 plays smoothly in a small window but is choppy in full-screen, is that hardware or software?

[12:17] <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.
[12:18] <tarvid_> Radeon X300 vga card
[12:19] <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> :(
[12:20] <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] <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?
[12:21] <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
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <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
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <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
[12:27] <escott> limitgb, you don't have any kind of raid do you? multiple hard disks?
[12:27] <ThinkT510> !remaster | Guest45229
[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
[12:28] <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] <ActionParsnip> n00by: ahh, nice. so it ca be scripted :)
[12:29] <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)
[12:30] <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
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> !firewall | jpsullia
[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
[12:32] <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
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> nannes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959841/
[12:33] <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]
[12:34] <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?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> FlyingFoX: you sure you aren't pressing ENTER and making the download show on a differnet line
[12:35] <limitgb> i've just created the partitions using gparted
[12:35] <FlyingFoX> ActionParsnip: no i am not
[12:35] <limitgb> and now i'm installing Ubuntu again
[12:35] <FlyingFoX> it gets to 100% several times
[12:35] <FlyingFoX> oh i missed a part of the line:
[12:35] <FlyingFoX> Get:1585 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main openjdk-6-jre-headless amd64 6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu2 [25.3 MB]
[12:35] <FlyingFoX> thats the actual one
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> nannes: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[12:36] <FlyingFoX> the number at the front keeps incrementing
[12:36] <Tak> hah, the online tour is really cool
[12:36] <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
[12:37] <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
[12:38] <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
[12:39] <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
[12:40] <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
[12:41] <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.
[12:42] <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)
[12:43] <escott> !pl | panx
[12:43] <escott> that looks roughly like the same language. lets hope im right
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> samfisher: could rsync data over ssh
[12:44] <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] <panx> escott, thanks :)
[12:46] <robinsch> hi
[12:46] <Mellock> Hullo :)
[12:46] <robinsch> anyone here knows how to get irssi to send notifications to desktop?
[12:46] <robinsch> when i get hilighed in irc
[12:47] <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
[12:48] <robinsch> how do i fix this, btw i am using screen with irssi
[12:48] <nannes> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959856/
[12:48] <ThinkT510> drostie: i'm not sure opinions count as bug reports
[12:49] <robinsch> i googled it a bit and can't find much, maybe the script is outdated, anyone has irssi notify solution that works?
[12:49] <nannes> ActionParsnip: lines 17-21
[12:50] <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. :<
[12:51] <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.
[12:52] <n00by> somehow i like gnome-shell, its not the most stable but really fast and has no tearing issues
[12:52] <prc384> I turned on my computer this morning ubuntu 12.04 and for some reason my user can not sudo, I cant get into the sudoers file and i cant nano anything cause i have insufficient access even though yesterday i was able to do everything because last week I added this user to all the proper files
[12:52] <drostie> ThinkT510: well, Unity doesn't suck nearly as much as it once sucked. :D
[12:52] <drostie> prc384: does your user have all the right groups and everything?
[12:52] <escott> prc384, what does "groups" say
[12:52] <ThinkT510> drostie: its very good you are being specific, i'm sure they are valid criticisms that will make fine bug reports
[12:53] <prc384> i cant access itlol
[12:53] <prc384> i literally can not access anything
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> nannes: not sure there mate, the last line is ok as the file is present.
[12:53] <escott> prc384, just type on a terminal "groups" and paste the one line to us
[12:53] <drostie> ThinkT510: well, the point is, I could be much more specific if there was a forum for this sort of thing, but meh.
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> prc384: are you in the admin group?
[12:53] <prc384> permission denied for user development
[12:54] <w3333> ugh how can i find my network card info since my wifi stopped working
[12:54] <Mrokii> Hello. Can somebody tell me why update manager wants to install Rhythmbox-st
[12:54] <prc384> yeah i have had no problem with anything until today
[12:54] <Mrokii> Hello. Can somebody tell me why update manager wants to install Rhythmbox-stuff even though I deinstalled Rhythmbox completely on Ubuntu 12.04?
[12:54] <n00by> prc384, if you have bios access you can boot from cd/stick and do whatever you like to (unencrypted) hdds
[12:54] <prc384> ok ill do that in a few thanks
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> prc384: boot to root recovery mode and run:  usermod -a -G admin username
[12:56] <n00by> ActionParsnip, do you know how i can reinvert the mouses scrolling wheel, it got inverted from the xserver update somehow?
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> prc384: you may want to boot liveCD and fsck the partition
[12:56] <w3333> My wifi stopped working 11.04 -> 12.04 LTS after the update.  (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1944582 this fix i did last time no longer works)
[12:57] <drostie> eff it, I'll just open up a bunch of bugs in launchpad.
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> n00by: maybe http://www.andybarratt.co.uk/lion-like-scrolling-on-ubuntu-inverse-scrolling-on-linux

[13:00] <mk> hi
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> hi mk
[13:01] <JuJuBee> I started a Software Update this morning and there were over 400MB of packages to update.  It looks like it is hung at 43% "Preparing to configure libprocesscore4abi1"  % has not changed in over 5 minutes.... THoughts?
[13:02] <rodhash> Guys...
[13:02] <rodhash> when locking the ubuntu, is there any way to show the desktop instead of blanking the screen?
[13:02] <rodhash> Or show de the desktop instead of activating any screen saver?
[13:02] <KBentley57> hey guys, I just updated to 12.04, and it would appear that my ftp server (vsftpd) is broken.  has anyone else seen this?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: use:   ps -ef | less     see if the process has hung
[13:03] <Gontxalu1> Hello, has a very happy worker day to everyone.   I'm having a problem with lxde, a can not change my keyboard from qwerty in spanish to dvorak in spnish. Can someone help me? the app doesnt work...
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> KBentley57: can you expand on 'broken' it tells us nothing
[13:03] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: what is the CMD I am looking for?
[13:03] <here> i'm trying to upgrade 12.04 openssl (1.0.1-4ubuntu5) and libssl1.0.0 (1.0.1-4ubuntu5) -- do i have to use the source or is there a way to get those with apt-get?
[13:03] <here> fixes this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/986147
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> Gontxalu1: edit /etc/default/keyboard    and change the XKBLAYOUT=    line
[13:04] <KBentley57> I get a 530 error which means "incorrect login".  I haven't changed the config any, and it was working with oneiric.  I can't log in with any user/pwd combo, locally or via web
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: dpkg, apt-get that sort of thing, or one using a lot of CPU
[13:05] <Gontxalu1> ActionParsnip: thanx
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> KBentley57: tried resetting the FTP password?
[13:05] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: don't see dpkg, or apt-get and top does not show anything using much cpu or ram...
[13:06] <KBentley57> ActionParsnip, I'm trying to login with a local user
[13:06] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: sorry, didn't realize I needed to page down...
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: could kill the update, then run:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[13:06] <n000by> ActionParsnip, thanks a lot that worked! :))
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> n000by: sweet
[13:09] <lasers> C/21
[13:09] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: thanks, will try that
[13:11] <nannes> ActionParsnip: He said that, when he try to set Unity3d, a black screen appears and he must reboot through shell ctrl+alt+f1
[13:12] <samfisher>  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?
[13:12] <escott> samfisher, i dont think anything prevents you from having @ in a username, its just "not natural"
[13:13] <ome> How can I installed software from a given ppa repo even if a newer version is available through some other source ?
[13:13] <escott> !pinning | ome
[13:14] <samfisher> escott: yes, i know that but I want to have my domaine instead of localhost, on all my boxes
[13:14] <n000by> ome with synaptic you can choose to force a specific verion of a package when you marked it for install
[13:14] <samfisher> and can't have the same hostname AFAIK
[13:14] <tohava> Ubuntu 12.04 broke node.js https.request, will downloading and installing openssl on my own fix this issue?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> nannes: that's all I know dude, sorry. I use Unity2D myself but it's because I think compiz causes too many dumb issues for it to be worthwhile
[13:14] <pouncer> anyone know how to add repositories in 12.01 i cant figure out where the admin section is
[13:15] <pouncer> 12.04
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> pouncer: use:   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:address
[13:15] <nannes> ActionParsnip: ok thanks anyway
[13:15] <escott> samfisher, i didnt get that. what does your domain name have to do with the usernames on that system
[13:16] <pouncer> ok ty
[13:16] <n000by> samfisher, you never want to change the domain ever with those users?
[13:16] <TempMonkey> Pouncer, you can open Ubuntu Software Center and in the menu go to edit-> software sources
[13:17] <ome> cheers escott & n000by
[13:17] <samfisher> n000by: yes
[13:17] <samfisher> escott: I want all the user to be on the same domain. when you open terminal, i want to see user@domain.com
[13:18] <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] <ian_mac> I see this message in dmesg: ACPI: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 1 reached.  Processor 1/0x1 ignored.
[13:19] <ian_mac> is there any way to stop the second processor from being ignored?
[13:19] <samfisher> escott: yes, tried that and have to \ it
[13:19] <shamt> hi
[13:20] <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] <n000by> samfisher, normal would be username@hostname  if your user has the name username
[13:21] <GG111> samfisher: how are they logging in remotely ?
[13:21] <Arnieswap> any plans to support android 4.x devices?
[13:21] <shamt> Hi every body
[13:21] <Chelo91> hello
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> samfisher: sounds like you need a domain controller
[13:21] <shamt> why ubs3 isn't supported ?
[13:22] <samfisher> ActionParsnip: like what?
[13:22] <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] <sary> ubs3 ?
[13:22] <melvincv> Please check and advice. http://paste.ubuntu.com/959944/
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> Arnieswap: support in what way?
[13:22] <samfisher> like active directory for linux?
[13:22] <GG111> samfisher: how are they logging in remotely ?
[13:22] <shamt> USB3 ports
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> samfisher: indeed
[13:22] <samfisher> GG111: they aren't
[13:22] <GG111> so, they're all on the same computer?
[13:23] <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?
[13:24] <GG111> and for the love of God, please don't mention active-direcory unless really must..
[13:25] <samfisher> GG111: ssh?
[13:25] <tohava> anyone know where I can get a fix for the openssl issues in ubuntu 12.04?
[13:25] <GG111> I'll PM you samfisher
[13:26] <melvincv> A new issue with Unity, not sure where to report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959944/
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: tried the mediafire uploader app discussed on omgubuntu?
[13:26] <ThinkT510> !here | melvincv
[13:27] <n000by> samfisher, maybe you can think/read about such a setup https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/mediafire-jump-on-cloud-storage-bandwagon-offer-linux-uploader/
[13:27] <melvincv> I'm afraid I'd tell a story here, so used paste.ubuntu.com :)
[13:28] <GG111> samfisher: I guess my PM are broken (my crazy scripting), can you PM me ?
[13:28] <samfisher> I did
[13:28] <samfisher> :)
[13:29] <melvincv> ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll check it out. But I'm interested to get the Unity issue fixed. I'd like to let the devs know so that we can all have a better Unity experience. I'm glad to see many bugs I've reported fixed :)
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: report the bug(s) then :)
[13:29] <derpella> Hello. I have ATI Radeon Mobility 7000 graphics, but opengl sees it as... "gl vendor: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.". All open gl apps crash and glitch. What can I do?
[13:30] <mi3> hello ActionParsnip !!
[13:30] <barberan> how do I get a cd  ?
[13:30] <n000by> derpella, im not sure but doesnt that mean it uses Gallium3D opensource drivers?
[13:30] <Bennlucky7> ati mobile gard to install
[13:30] <Bennlucky7> hard
[13:31] <quick-> barberan: You can request for a gift cd .
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> hi mi3
[13:31] <derpella> damn... well, the result is, opengl doesn't work, and I need it for reasons
[13:31] <ye> Hi guys !
[13:31] <mi3> ActionParsnip, long time no see, where were you these days?
[13:31] <ian_mac> how do I get Ubuntu to stop ignoring my second and third cpu?
[13:31] <quick-> derpella:  You can use the fglut
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> mi3: uk as always, you ok?
[13:32] <quick-> ye:  hi :)
[13:32] <user> I have problem after failed upgrde. while Ubuntu try to boot such message appears: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found. I have try to purge grub, to reinstall it - everything useless. I try to repir my installation using live cd. I'm using chroot whith binded process: /dev, /dev/pt, /proc, /sys.
[13:32] <escott> ian_mac, in what way is it ignoring the cpu?
[13:32] <mi3> ActionParsnip, yeah, I am ok
[13:32] <ian_mac> escott: when I dmesg, it says "ACPI: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 1 reached.  Processor 1/0x1 ignored."
[13:33] <ye> Hello! i installed Ubuntu10.04 in VMware,   boot from an ISO file .  Now I want to boot from ISO file again , what should I do?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> user: use a chroot and you can install packages and/or reinstall grub to the mbr etc
[13:33] <glenn> is there a way to convert ntfs to ext3
[13:33] <Pici> Guest30303: no. You'd need to format the drive.
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> ye: use the same method you used to boot the ISO the first time...
[13:33] <user> ActionParsnip: I can not!
[13:33] <melvincv> This bug affects many, but still is present. Why? I see a 'Fix released' but... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/811475
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> user: why not?
[13:34] <escott> ian_mac, you may need to try the kernel boot option acpi=off if it is not detecting that you are on an SMP system
[13:34] <patch> vmplayer does not work on 1204?
[13:34] <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.  Installing GRUB there could result in FILESYSTEM DESTRUCTION if valuable data is overwritten by grub-setup (--skip-fs-probe disables this check, use at your own risk).
[13:34] <auronandace> glda19: no, reformat it
[13:35] <user> ActionParsnip: I chrooted actual drive
[13:35] <ian_mac> escott: ah ok.  Thanks.
[13:35] <user> ActionParsnip: I binded processes for sure
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> user: that is moot, you are booting to the CD so any grub messages on the drive mean nothing
[13:35] <auronandace> !vmware | patch
[13:35] <user> ActionParsnip: I do not know what is reason
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> user: you may need to fsck the partition
[13:35] <glda19> auronandace, ActionParsnip i told it to my friend to reformat it.
[13:35] <Zentaur> hi
[13:36] <quick-> Zentaur:  hi :)
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <patch> auronandace, this guide is for old system
[13:37] <auronandace> glda19: has your friend backed up what he needs?
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> ye: I'd ask in #vmware then
[13:37] <viejotren>  hi, I'm trying to do a fresh install ubuntu 11.10, I used unetbootin to put it on my usb, after load the kernel and the init file I got an error: target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. 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] <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
[13:38] <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> escott in fact i tried this in 3 differene machines
[13:38] <sexy> hi all
[13:38] <viejotren> and allways got the same error
[13:38] <patch> auronandace, can i install virtualbox on 12.4 and is it good ?
[13:39] <auronandace> patch: indeed
[13:39] <srikanth> hello i need a help
[13:39] <escott> viejotren, then the unetbootin isn't created correctly, and something is going wrong between the initrd and mounting the root fs
[13:39] <viejotren> yes escott i guessed so but it is the first time
[13:39] <viejotren> i always use unetbootin
[13:40] <viejotren> escott some alternatives?
[13:40] <MonkeyDust> viejotren  MultiSystem, multiboot
[13:40] <n000by> Does anyone here know how i would move the notification bar from gnome-shell from bottom to the top (i have a taskbar on bottom)
[13:40] <escott> viejotren, i just use the usb-creator tool
[13:40] <compdoc> patch, virtualbox is great when you need to run programs while logged into your desktop, but not so great if you want to use it as a server
[13:40] <escott> n000by, check extensions.gnome.org
[13:41] <viejotren> MokeyDust, what do you mean with multisystem, multiboot?
[13:41] <viejotren> those are tools?
[13:41] <viejotren> escott: thanks i will try
[13:42] <escott> ian_mac, some other options for this problem are noapic and nolapic. i honestly dont know what they all do
[13:42] <ye> ActionParsnip: I got it.  Press ESC when the VMware sign shown up , then you can boot from CD/DVD :)
[13:42] <ye> lol
[13:42] <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] <MonkeyDust> viejotren  it's a 3rd party program, multiple live isos on one usb stick, has its own grub menu
[13:43] <viejotren> MonkeyDust, thanks I will check it
[13:44] <viejotren> MonkeyDust: those packages are in the repos?
[13:44] <patch> compdoc, I just want it for my development
[13:45] <compdoc> patch, then its perfect for that
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> viejotren  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[13:45] <mohd> how are obuntu user it good
[13:45] <srikanth> hi i need a help.. i am not able to connect to wireless network
[13:45] <rangerpb> where in the graphical install is the option for setting up lvm?
[13:46] <quick-> srikanth: wats the problem ?
[13:46] <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] <rangerpb> auronandace, ah many thanks!
[13:46] <patch> compdoc, ah downloading it right now
[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
[13:47] <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] <user> ActionParsnip: how to unbinde system folders like /proc?
[13:47] <srikanth> not able to connect to wireless network. its showing  network connections and after connecting its asking authentication key again n again but not setting connection
[13:47] <mohd> i have installed 12.04 and the windows key is not working
[13:47] <OerHeks> rangerpb, no, it is not available in the desktop iso.
[13:48] <quick-> srikanth:  Maybe your key is not correct
[13:48] <OerHeks> !lvm
[13:48] <mi3> GirlyGirl, yes, I said alternative to nautilus actions for lubuntu users
[13:48] <viejotren> MonkeyDust: thanks a lot
[13:48] <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!
[13:49] <OerHeks> auronandace, i wonder why it isn't even on the dvd.
[13:49] <srikanth> no i ve recently installed ubuntu
[13:49] <GirlyGirl> mi3: I know I was asking what exactly are "nautilus actions"?
[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
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <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] <auronandace> rangerpb: powerpc is a community port now
[13:51] <OerHeks> ranger not on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ but it is on >> http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
[13:51] <brontosaurusrex> looking for http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=PFRSSGL1
[13:51] <rangerpb> auronandace, -> http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/12.04/release/
[13:51] <mi3> GirlyGirl, err yes
[13:51] <mi3>  GirlyGirl , but for lxde!
[13:51] <brontosaurusrex> offline media indexer basically
[13:51] <GirlyGirl> mi3: Correct me if I'm wrong but nautilus should work fine in lxde
[13:52] <quick-> rangerpb: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
[13:52] <mi3> GirlyGirl, is that so? will it work? cos lxde has its own file manager, it does not use nautilus!
[13:52] <Multiply> I'm trying to install a package, that changes ownership of the config files, but I'm installing those configs on a NFS mount, and it fails with: "Error setting ownership of ..file.. Remote I/O error" - Is there a way, to allow a given user to set ownership, or make apt skip those steps?
[13:52] <auronandace> rangerpb: hmm, odd mirror
[13:52] <GirlyGirl> mi3: Both lxde and gnome are gtk based and installing their apps in each other should work fine
[13:53] <rangerpb> yeah, ok quick- 's link work, thanks auronandace and quick-
[13:53] <quick-> rangerpb:  :)
[13:53] <mi3> GirlyGirl, but what about the context menus? each DE has a different context menu in them
[13:54] <GirlyGirl> mi3: If you use nautilus actions it will modify nautilus irrespective of the de
[13:55] <mi3> err ok!
[13:58] <brontosaurusrex> looking for media indexer like http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=PFRSSGL1 , suggestions?
[14:00] <srikanth> will try
[14:02] <davey> hey guys
[14:02] <davey> anybody know what java plugins for browsers are available?
[14:03] <diverdude> whatr the heck is wrong with this system...when my computer has been turned on for about maybe 10 hours or so the whole system suddently becomes write protected
[14:03] <GirlyGirl> davey: Java Runtime Environment ???
[14:04] <davey> i installed it
[14:04] <escott> diverdude, probably a bad disk. its detecting corruption in the FS and switching to readonly mode to protect the remaining data. check your smart status
[14:04] <auronandace> diverdude: sounds like hardware failure
[14:04] <davey> but browser said no available plug in
[14:04] <Fat-Thing> just wanna ask somethin...i got a skype when i try to click the x button it closes but still my skype application is still running but when i try to click on the skype application hoping that i will pop out but sadly it will open a new skype application and seems i can't find the first skype application that's still running :( how can i retrieve it?
[14:05] <davey_> wow why was i booted lol
[14:05] <diverdude> escott: but when i reboot everything is ok again
[14:05] <escott> diverdude, its probably fsck'ing/recovering during the reboot
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> davey_: how did you install it?
[14:06] <diverdude> escott: hmm ok....is there any way i can figure out whats going on?
[14:07] <escott> diverdude, get your data off now while the disk is still functioning reasonably well. its only going to get worse
[14:07] <escott> diverdude, check the kernel log messages and your smart status
[14:08] <diverdude> escott: how can i check my smart status
[14:08] <Fat-Thing> just wanna ask somethin...i got a skype when i try to click the x button it closes but still my skype application is still running but when i try to click on the skype application hoping that i will pop out but sadly it will open a new skype application and seems i can't find the first skype application that's still running :( how can i retrieve it?
[14:08] <escott> diverdude, the disk utility in the gui has a S.M.A.R.T. tab/button
[14:09] <wolfric> why is it that when you have icon shortcuts on the top bar in gnome-classic (beside the application menu drop down), they're all close together but when you drag your mouse over the icons they spread out (about 2 mm space appears between all the icons)
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> Fat-Thing: if you run:  ps -ef | grep -i skype      is it still running?
[14:09] <diverdude> escott: hmm i cannot open any new programs...i get inoput/output error
[14:09] <Multiply> I'm trying to install a package, that changes ownership of the config files, but I'm installing those configs on a NFS mount, and it fails with: "Error setting ownership of ..file.." - Is there a way, to allow a given user to set ownership, or make apt skip those steps?
[14:10] <Fat-Thing> coolroot@coolroot:~$ ps -ef | grep -i skype
[14:10] <Fat-Thing> coolroot  3901  3823  0 21:40 ?        00:00:08 skype -session ********

[14:10] <davey_> can anybody help me get java installed properly? :D im new to linux
[14:10] <Night_Elf> Multiply: That depends on the options on how the NFS is exported at the server end.
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> Fat-Thing: kill -9 3901
[14:10] <EvilResistance> !java | davey_
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> !java| davey_
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> davey_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java; sudo fullupgrade ; sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
[14:11] <ketan__> ?
[14:11] <Multiply> Night_Elf: What options should I, or should not use for that?
[14:12] <Multiply> It's perfectly firewalled, so I'm not too worried about anything right now :)
[14:12] <davey_> how do i install what i have now this is whati have from java -version
[14:12] <davey_> java version "1.6.0_24"
[14:12] <davey_> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.1) (6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu2)
[14:12] <davey_> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
[14:12] <FloodBot1> davey_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:12] <Dr_willis> davey_,  you do have java installed then
[14:12] <EvilResistance> davey_, use pastebin for things.  You're using OpenJDK 6, comes in the repos
[14:12] <Pici> ActionParsnip: You may want to fix your 'fullupgrade' command.
[14:12] <EvilResistance> but its not Sun java, which some programs need
[14:12] <EvilResistance> (aka OracleJava)
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <davey_> sorry im new to the chat sorry for "flooding" :O
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <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.
[14:16] <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. :)
[14:17] <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
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <entropy_> is this like ubuntu helpdesk or something? got here by the ubuntu get involve
[14:19] <auronandace> entropy_: yes, this is ubuntu support
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <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
[14:25] <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] <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?
[14:26] <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.
[14:27] <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.
[14:28] <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?
[14:29] <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] <Night_Elf> by*
[14:29] <escott> DrDittersdorf, gnome-screensaver-command -a
[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 ?
[14:30] <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] <ActionParsnip> DrDittersdorf: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/enable-screensavers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[14:30] <palmpilot> nlici: su - yourusername ?
[14:30] <GG111> Multiply: then you need to find is in the graphical menu
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> !adduser | nlici
[14:30] <Multiply> LHammonds: No problem. I always use the webchat, as it barely ever crashes, and is fairly light
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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. :)
[14:34] <rollitup> yes all of them are unmuted
[14:34] <ThinkT510> !pm | LHammonds
[14:34] <GG111> rollitup: did this card work in a previous install of Linux ?
[14:35] <rollitup> no i am using ubuntu for the first time
[14:35] <rollitup> i mean linux
[14:35] <rollitup> :P
[14:35] <Multiply> rollitup: Well, ubuntu too. xD
[14:35] <rollitup> i have been struggling since past three days and have begun losing hope
[14:35] <bouma> im trying to set the application that is used to open magnetlinks in chromium, it uses transmission, how do i change this ??
[14:36] <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> .
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <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 ?
[14:39] <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.
[14:40] <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] <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
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <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] <rollitup> this is the link ActionParsnip http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a4a9c1b86c87e0397e32494b7b8d47e078f7df5f
[14:43] <xerxas> Hi all
[14:43] <rollitup> GG111 i am using irc through webchat, i doubt it will allow me to receive your pm
[14:43] <rollitup> but I appreciate your help guys
[14:43] <Guest88750> ciao
[14:43] <Guest88750> !list
[14:43] <palmpilot> ActionParsnip:  tnx, i'll try
[14:43] <Xeneth> I alway's have such issues with Apache2 and the ssl reverse proxy I have setup when doing a release update.  Anyone have any Idea's how to not having to set it all back up after updating?  am I missing something?
[14:43] <theadmin> bouma: I'm sorry, I'm not aware of Unity stuff, I haven't really used it, most of the time I use Xfce
[14:43] <GirlyGirl> rollitup: webchat allows messaging people
[14:43] <escott> LHammonds, the various paths /dev/by-???? should be symlinks to /dev/sda#
[14:43] <wwd> thanks for the suggestions.
[14:44] <rollitup> i am connected to this channel using webchat.freenode.net and i don;t see any PM option
[14:44] <GG111> rollitup: this script is for ?
[14:44] <GG111> I see that's from 10.10 ver
[14:44] <theadmin> rollitup: /msg somebody something
[14:45] <GirlyGirl> rollitup: Click an alias in the right side pane and chose querry
[14:45] <GirlyGirl> *query
[14:45] <rollitup> thanks @GirlGirl I got it
[14:46] <theadmin> rollitup: Just so you know, you don't have to use @ for nicknames. Also, you can use tab-completion here: type a first part of the nickname and hit Tab to complete it. For me, for instance, type "thea" and hit Tab, you get "theadmin".
[14:47] <LHammonds> Thanks for the help everyone.  TTFN!
[14:47] <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.  I've tried <apt-get install openjdk-6-jre=6b18-1.8.8~pre1-0ubuntu1> but get "E: Version '6b18-1.8.8~pre1-0ubuntu1' for 'openjdk-6-jre' was not found"
[14:47] <Aditya|AutoSpace> Launcher in not appearing anymore
[14:48] <theadmin> Aditya|AutoSpace: Do you have the Guest Additions installed? Unity is almost broken without them
[14:48] <eopinne> hi
[14:48] <Aditya|AutoSpace> theadmin: Yes
[14:48] <theadmin> Aditya|AutoSpace: Hm, awkward then.
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: maverick is EOL, no longer supported
[14:48] <GirlyGirl> Aditya|AutoSpace: When you go back to that setting dialogue does it still check auto hide?
[14:48] <eopinne> troubles with skype audio upon upgrade to 12.04
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: I suggest you wipe Maverick out and clean install Precise. It is the latest release as well as being LTS
[14:49] <Aditya|AutoSpace> GirlyGirl: Yes
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> eopinne: does audio work ok in other apps?
[14:49] <eopinne> yes
[14:49] <wylde> !search openjdk-6-jre
[14:49] <GirlyGirl> Aditya|AutoSpace: try running "unity --reset"  and setting that option again
[14:50] <wylde> !info openjdk-6-jre
[14:50] <theadmin> !find /usr/bin/java | wylde (this should list the available java packages)
[14:50] <Hypnotic> HELLO ALL
[14:50] <wylde> cjs226:  ^^
[14:50] <theadmin> Hm, odd, it doesn't list them all
[14:50] <eopinne> ActionParsnip: it works fine, but keep getting audio playback problem whenever i try to call or answering a call, when other applications using audio are working
[14:51] <wylde> theadmin: alrighty, thanks. Was looking for cjs226 .
[14:51] <rollitup> ok ActionParsnip i shall keep that as an option too
[14:51] <theadmin> wylde: Meh, it doesn't list em all after all -- I suppose the java packages don't install to /usr/bin
[14:51] <Aditya|AutoSpace> GirlyGirl: Already tried that but no luck. I've seen couple of thread in askubuntu..Some people have this problem
[14:52] <Aditya|AutoSpace> And I think no one got solution yet
[14:52] <GirlyGirl> Aditya|AutoSpace: Report a bug against unity then ... does this occur in unity-2d?
[14:52] <wylde> theadmin: possibly, I should have left "jre" off the bot find, it would have listed all opejdk-6- stuffs then :)
[14:53] <Aditya|AutoSpace> GirlyGirl: I've changed anything else. So I think its 2d
[14:53] <davey_> how do i uninstall the java i have now and start over
[14:53] <Aditya|AutoSpace> *I haven't
[14:53] <cjs226> theadmin: thx, i know i can install java, but i need that exact version.  isn't it possible to install backrev versions?
[14:53] <theadmin> cjs226: What exact version?
[14:53] <Infinite8> Thinking about trying out Gnome3, does compiz fusion work alright with it?
[14:54] <cjs226> theadmin: 6b18-1.8.8~pre1-0ubuntu1
[14:54] <diverdude> It is as if ubuntu cannot figure out how to control the heat of my computer...It gets extremely hot and no fans or anything starts. How do i check if ubuntu does what its supposed to do regarding regulation of CPU temperature ?
[14:54] <theadmin> Infinite8: Last I tried, gnome3 would crash whenever I tried to use a window manager other than Mutter.
[14:54] <chiliblue> of the 2 nvidia videa drivers that come up as available to install in ubuntu, which one should you choose? Is there any advantage in the one that isn't recommended?
[14:54] <cjs226> theadmin: it's listed here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6b18/
[14:54] <Aditya|AutoSpace> By the way, what is best alternative to "Unity"?
[14:55] <auronandace> Aditya|AutoSpace: define best
[14:55] <theadmin> Aditya|AutoSpace: There's no "best", but officially supported Ubuntu desktops are Gnome, Xfce, LXDE and KDE.
[14:55] <jhutchins_wk> Is there a known problem with the Intel 910GL on the last two releases?
[14:55] <Infinite8> theadmin:  What window manager does Gnome3 currently utilize
[14:55] <Scarra3> For installing fglrx should I install the Post version?
[14:55] <theadmin> Infinite8: As said above, Mutter.
[14:55] <jhutchins_wk> I updated yesterday, and now my fonts are all messed up in whatever terminal is standard.
[14:55] <theadmin> Infinite8: It's new, made for gnome3 specifically
[14:56] <omido> Hi newbie here. i have an issue. i'm from iran. i just installed ubuntu 12.04 . when i want to update i noticed that it uses iranian servers or something (ir.archives.ubuntu.com) . is it good and safe? and what's its diffrence with the main or US sources?
[14:56] <jhutchins_wk> Messed up on the desktop as well.
[14:56] <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?
[14:57] <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?
[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <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"
[15:00] <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.
[15:01] <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.
[15:02] <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...
[15:03] <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?
[15:04] <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] <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
[15:05] <wylde> !tab | davey_
[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.
[15:06] <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?
[15:07] <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?
[15:08] <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
[15:09] <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.
[15:10] <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
[15:11] <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
[15:12] <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] <Oprtz> hi guys, i format HDD and remove windows7 and now install ubuntu 12.04, one prblem i am facing, wireless internet disconnect after 5 minutes, my wifi hardware is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection. plzz need help

[15:13] <greenit> davey_, did u use the manual method?
[15:13] <davey_> yes
[15:13] <davey_> i used sudo su so i was root user
[15:13] <Logan_> b0ot: But the version of VLC in Lucid is 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.8.
[15:14] <Logan_> b0ot: And that's older than the one you want to download.
[15:14] <cuser> hi all. i installed "openbox obconf" in my ubuntu 11.04 but when i choose "openbox session" in gdm, it opens but i'm unable to do anything (for example the terminal does not returns a prompt). thanks

[15:17] <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
[15:18] <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.
[15:19] <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 :(

[15:20] <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> ! Please  hi guys, i format HDD and remove windows7 and now install ubuntu 12.04, one prblem i am facing, wireless internet disconnect after 5 minutes, my wifi hardware is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection. plzz need help

[15:21] <greenit> davey_, nope, just watched the site as u said that it doesn't work ;)    well, after you entered the 2 commands, restart your firefox
[15:21] <Oprtz> ActionParsnip:  okie wait

[15:22] <davey_> greenit,ill try that thanks

First, Unity is in Gnome Classic and I don't want it, problem is if I disable Unity in Gnome Classic in 12.04 then if I login as Unity it wont work. How can I keep Unity working when Logged in as Unity but not in Gnome Classic. Also, the Applications and Places link in Gnome glassic is hard to see, and the buttons on panels is white, how do i fix that?
[15:26] <Oprtz> ActionParsnip:  Sir , i paste this in Terminal ? echo "options iwl3945 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/intelwifi.conf  ???
[15:26] <cuser> hi all. i installed "openbox obconf" in my ubuntu 11.04 but when i choose "openbox session" in gdm, it opens but i'm unable to do anything (for example the terminal does not returns a prompt). what it could be? thanks!

[15:28] <ActionParsnip> econdudeawesome: ok you have onboard intel GPU, seems to be running the right driver. Could check /var/log/Xorg.0.log    I'm not sure what to advise on Intel GPUs tbh
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Oprtz: yes, it will echo to the screen, that's fine
[15:28] <Oprtz> ActionParsnip:  now i rebot ?
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Oprtz: indeed

[15:29] <jsebean>  pyboy: I mean the text color and the buttons
[15:29] <econdudeawesome> ActionParsnip: any idea what I should look for in the log?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> econdudeawesome: errors and warnings
[15:29] <jsebean>  pyboy: Not only that how do I fix the Unity problem?

[15:30] <Mneumonic> I am running 12.04 at some point while using my install it will freeze up.  I can still use the keyboard and I can move the mouse around but the mouse won't grab windows or click anything.
[15:30] <limitgb> i'm already  in a live cd session
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> econdudeawesome: you will see WW or EE in the left hand side
[15:30] <Mneumonic> I am able to use the keyboard to navigate around but the mouse stops responding other than being able to move the pointer around
[15:30] <ThinkT510> limitgb: i think you just need to: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> Mneumonic: is the RAM healthy? Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? If you used a CD, did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
[15:31] <fthdhktgvdds> hello
[15:31] <Mneumonic> ActionParsnip yes to all of those

[15:31] <ubuntu> hi, I've upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 TLS by clicking on a update popup, it installed then reboot, but now with grub when I choose a partition it says (error : no such partition), I can't run windows neither, it was running properly before this upgrade, currently I'm on a live CD, please help me I don't want to loose all my data :(
[15:31] <jsebean> pyboy: ^^
[15:31] <econdudeawesome> ActionParsnip: just some errors about missing fonts. Everything else looks fine. When I tried lxdm, it ran appropriately fast (not unusually slow). Is lightdm not all that light then? :D

[15:45] <chronos> I'm sure
[15:46] <chronos> ubuntu: the thing started to happen in do-release-upgrade
[15:46] <chronos> ubuntu: I can't even compile python
[15:46] <ubuntu> chronos: so everybody will have the same issue?
[15:46] <chronos> ubuntu: so I guess some lib is broken
[15:47] <chronos> ubuntu: nop, I have.
[15:47] <chronos> I already did 5 upgrades in different servers
[15:47] <chronos> but this one broke  ubuntu

[15:56] <Kruptein> developer215: lamp
[15:56] <abaddon> ProtoX i guess i want to know how to choose a version that has relatively new software versions but its not bleeding edge to be counter-productive?
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> developer215  try tasksel
[15:56] <abaddon> on debian, i would use unstable, inbetween stable and testing

[15:56] <nimbiotics> In v12.04 with gnome; how do I: 1) Switch between running programs and 2) start the update manager?

[15:57] <Kruptein> developer215: just search for lamp (linux apache mysql php)

[15:57] <MonkeyDust> patholio  lsb_release -sd
[15:57] <dougmencken> I especially wonder about my ATi Rage 128 Pro videocard
[15:58] <Kruptein> still nobody that could know why my unity-greeter doesn't show my personal wallpaper?
[15:58] <developer215> MonkeyDust, thanks, tasksel is what i was looking for
[15:58] <dougmencken> can I re-partition my hard disk to shrink HFS+ volume?
[15:58] <dougmencken> (using this CD)
[15:59] <patholio> MonkeyDust cheers but that seems to return the current version, im trying to work out what the orginal was before all the upgrades over the years
[15:59] <ProtoX> oh fuck it, I'll just reformat and do a fresh install of ubuntu, as the upgrade failed twice
[15:59] <limitgb> how do i edit the grub list?
[15:59] <limitgb> i just get an empty grub

[16:00] <touil> Hello everyone. I'm going to try to explain a bug that occurs in my fresh installation of ubuntu 12.04.
[16:00] <dougmencken> derpella: I doubt it would be faster than in Debian Sid, in Sid, there's currently only old XFCE
[16:00] <Kruptein> touil:  what's the problem
[16:01] <derpella> I see, thanks
[16:01] <touil> Once in a while, my desktop crashes, I mean, I still see the 'arrow' moving on the screen when I move the mouse,
[16:01] <derpella> Unity?
[16:01] <touil> but, when I try to click somewhere, nothing happens.
[16:01] <ProtoX> and this time I actually remembered to make a backup of fstab to the fileserver
[16:01] <ProtoX> so I won't have to set everything up manually again
[16:01] <ProtoX> lol
[16:01] <touil> Ubuntu seems to work because when this occurs as I listen to music, the music does go on.

[16:05] <dougmencken> shadykhan: really small font
[16:05] <theadmin> Ethek: What exactly is the problem? The skin seems to be getting applied.
[16:05] <dougmencken> shadykhan: go to Rat -> Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts (tab)
[16:06] <Ethek> theadmin it is, lack of detail on what should be the classic winamp look of the skin. No colors ect
[16:06] <theadmin> Ethek: Oh, I see... No idea, sorry

[16:07] <MonkeyDust> mentat  why do you think ubuntu thinks that?
[16:08] <dougmencken> Mneumonic: look into 'dmesg'; if there's nothing suspicious, then it's your mice
[16:08] <shadykhan> dougmencken, the whole ui font size got bigger
[16:08] <shadykhan> accept vlc lol
[16:08] <mentat> when I open Displays it shows only one monitor called Laptop, I have dual monitors on a desktop and it won't let me mess with them...
[16:08] <Mneumonic> it's not my mouse, touchpad on laptop is doing the same thing
[16:08] <nimbiotics> In v12.04 with gnome; how do I: a) Switch between running programs and b) start the update manager?
[16:08] <Mneumonic> dougmencken and I don't have this problem in windows 7

[16:09] <Mneumonic> dougmencken I should note that my mouse still works "inside" of the xchat window.  I just can't click on the UI at all
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> nimbiotics  alt-tab and dash menu - update manager
[16:09] <Mneumonic> or on unity panel or desktop
[16:09] <dougmencken> Mneumonic: hmm, looks strange, is it USB mice?
[16:09] <limitgb> first error in the Ubuntu install, then no grub just a blinking cursor after reboot, now an empty grub
[16:09] <limitgb> :(
[16:10] <Mneumonic> dougmencken my mouse is usb yea, touchpad also acts the same
[16:10] <shadykhan> dougmencken, same problem

[16:11] <shadykhan> no font
[16:11] <dougmencken> shadykhan: ah, font, well, set it to 14 then, not 9
[16:11] <nimbiotics> MonkeyDust: Alt+ab does not work and is 'dash' a command?
[16:11] <Mneumonic> I wonder if it's an issue with the Unity interface or compiz.  I didn't experience this in Xubuntu 12.04
[16:11] <NurseDad> is there a way using the gui to  change the email in the notification area from thunderbird to evolution
[16:11] <Mneumonic> Maybe I'll try installing xubuntu-desktop
[16:12] <MonkeyDust> nimbiotics  in Unity, dash is the menu
[16:12] <nimbiotics> MonkeyDust: I'm not using uinity but gnome
[16:12] <shadykhan> dougmencken, then it messes up everything elses ui it becomes bigger which becomes annoying and it still doesnt fix the vlc menu
[16:12] <dougmencken> shadykhan: so this tiny font issue is VLC-only?
[16:13] <shadykhan> dougmencken, vlc and its happening on virtualbox as well only two applications that i have noticed so far
[16:13] <sfxtor> Can someone point me in the right direction.  12.04. I have dual launchers showing up and desktop icons are overlapping / ghosting.  I tried unity reset but didnt work. was ok until today.

[16:14] <wylde> I'm curious, I know I can update my ltsp servers packages by chroot into /opt/ltsp/i386 and rebuilding the image.

[16:20] <linuxR> hi all, I just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my computer but I am experiencing problems with video, can't set my resolution to more than 1024x768. Can someone help?
[16:20] <limitgb> sary, it seems so but i correctly made a grub-install a few minutes ago
[16:20] <dougmencken> wow, it boots (shows "Ubuntu 12.04" and 4 flashing dots)
[16:20] <limitgb> is like there's a lack of configuration files
[16:20] <ANub> guys ive noticed a problem in 12.04

[16:22] <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] <Bagels> Are wacom tablets fully supported in precise?

[16:22] <MonkeyDust> ANub  keyring manages your passwords
[16:23] <xtgyal> Hi, how do I get LibreOffice Writer to save a document as PDF but keep my full name in the metadata as author?  LibreOffice seems to have installed with my first name only listed, I updated the info in Tools > Options so it has my full name but it still saves PDFs as my first name only.
[16:23] <davey_> dougmencken, i did that now what?:P
[16:23] <ANub> i uninstalled keyring.........and guess what
[16:23] <dougmencken> davey_: icedtea-6-plugin - web browser plugin based on OpenJDK and IcedTea to execute Java applets

[16:23] <wylde> pnphi: uhhh Ubuntu runs on a number of arch's
[16:24] <ANub> my ubuntu software center also got removed......plus my WiFi connections got DC
[16:24] <xtgyal> Ubuntu 12 is really buggy, I've been having a lot of issues since the upgrade :-(
[16:24] <pnphi> The system files of ubuntu ?
[16:24] <samster34> I'm getting desperate here :/ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21007284/WP_000093.jpg
[16:24] <dougmencken> oh no; the installation failed to tty
[16:24] <davey_> dougmencken, so that will work with sunjava then?
[16:24] <ANub> even after removing keyring ..... my other X seesion does not work (lot of glitching and no menu etc etc)
[16:25] <OerHeks> ANub, logical, the keys & passwords are stored in seahorse/keyring.
[16:25] <dougmencken> startx gives me --> "no screens found"
[16:25] <pyboy> xtgyal: i  know that just look at this chat and you will know
[16:25] <wylde> pnphi: the arch you have will be the one you installed? i386 amd64 ppc etc etc etc....
[16:25] <ANub> Any ideas....?
[16:25] <dougmencken> davey_: openjdk was deployed by sun microsystems
[16:25] <OerHeks> ANub, yes, reinstall.

[16:26] <chipotle> what's the best VM for windows7 to run ubuntu?
[16:26] <dougmencken> about R128... where should I ask? on #radeon?
[16:26] <samster34> chipotle: I don't know about the best, but virtualbox works nicely for me
[16:26] <wylde> pnphi: type uname -a in terminal and that will tell you what arch you're using. (assuming you're on Ubuntu now)
[16:26] <OerHeks> dougmencken, openjdk is NOT deployed by sun.

[16:34] <xtgyal> Hi, how do I get LibreOffice Writer to save a document as PDF but keep my full name in the metadata as author?  LibreOffice seems to have installed with my first name only listed, I updated the info in Tools > Options so it has my full name but it still saves PDFs as my first name only.
[16:34] <cchico30> hola
 seems like memory issue
[16:34] <samster34> DaZ: no, this is as far as I get. I don't even get this far without nomodeset
[16:34] <cchico30> alguien habla español?
[16:34] <DaZ> !es
[16:34] <samster34> ANub: I ran a complete memory check a few weeks ago, everything was fine
[16:35] <samster34> and nothing would run then, either
[16:35] <sary> limitgb: are you still on you desk.
[16:35] <james296> can anyone tell me how to eliminate the floppy drive showing up in nautilus running on VMware Fusion on iMac
[16:35] <sary> naj42181: have you tried these steps here http://askubuntu.com/questions/128269/wireless-connection-drops-every-30-seconds-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-04
[16:36] <samster34> ANub: I'll try taking out the modules anyway
[16:36] <touil> I have freshly installed ubuntu 12.04.
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <touil> I can do  Ctrl+Alt+F1 and get to a terminal.
[16:38] <pyboy> touil: does  the mouse not move sometimes
[16:38] <rhizmoe> so, i rebooted my 10.10 box and now i don't have any hover behaviors, mousewise.
[16:39] <reader> hai guys
[16:39] <Halzen> Ahoy.
[16:40] <touil> No the mouse always moves.
[16:40] <sary> naj42181: Right , but i meant which driver is loaded for that device ! you can check with lsmod .. can you pastebin the output of lshw -C network to paste.ubuntu.com
[16:40] <pyboy> hello L3top
[16:40] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks, I just updated to 12.04 and I'm using gnome-shell. Why is it that half of my games (lagno, tetravex, quadrapassel, etc.) no longer have menus and I can't set their options?
[16:40] <halfie_> is removing pulseaudio supported?
[16:41] <halfie_> I removed pulseaudio and now the sound icon in main menu doesn't work
[16:41] <Halzen> halfie_ Yep, lemme dig up a guide.
[16:41] <numberto> Hi guys, how can I disable showing hud on left alt key press?
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: 'no longer have menus' I assume you mean it doesn't show in the shell?
[16:41] <Rexter> fresh install of 12.04 animated splash screen is missing. Anyone know why?
[16:42] <pyboy> touil: that is weird
[16:42] <naj42181> sary: http://paste.ubuntu.com/960406/
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> numberto: if you use ubuntu-tweak it can disable HUD
[16:42] <Halzen> halfie_ sudo apt-get install pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio indicator-sound
[16:42] <reader> hai guys, I configured my virtual box guest os as Bridged adapter  and both guest and host can ping to each other. But the problem is when I disconnected the wifi I can't able to ping each other . how to ping when I am not in a wifi network
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <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] <darkcharl> numberto: ccsm
[16:43] <sary> naj42181: thank you.
[16:43] <numberto> darkcharl: where do I change it in ccsm?
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: are the items not in the global-menubar?
[16:43] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: I'm using gnome-shell, there's no global-menubar there.
[16:43] <glosoli> is there any way to show Global Menu using opera ?
[16:44] <darkcharl> numberto: if I recall it right under the unity plugin
[16:44] <numberto> darkcharl: never mind, found it
[16:44] <sary> naj42181: nice , also could you please paste the output of sudo lshw -C network .

[16:45] <Halzen> Oh, wrong way.
[16:46] <samster34> help, I tested the memory, test said it's fine, tried with each single stick in each port, with both, and I'm still getting this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21007284/WP_000093.jpg

[16:57] <craigbass1976> ActionParsnip, I'm connecting fine in my house.  I think the problem is after that.  I can ping my router and the modem, but not google.com or 8.8.8.8 (their dns server) every so often.
[16:57] <splnet> craigbass1976: screen creates a detachable terminal. so ssh into your server. screen; [run commad] 'ctrl a d'; you can then lose your connection and keep the terminal active
[16:57] <samster34> wylde: ? it's not the file system. this is a live system from a USB drive. the iso matches the md5, the system boots on a different computer

[17:00] <Vikasss> need a little help on ubuntu installation
[17:00] <nimbiotics> can someone please recommend a nice and simple document manager for ubuntu? TIA!
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> samster34: you add the option in Grub, which is waaay before Plymouth is even loaded
[17:00] <stripe> no because I am in another OS so that I can access xchat
[17:00] <Guest5101> I can't boot anymore to 12.04, not even from a USB. When I disable the SATA controller then I can boot from a USB. When I boot with the SATA controller enabled and in normal mode all I see is a blinking cursor and it hangs there. When I boot in the recovery mode it hangs when I get "[6.974400] sata_nv 0000:00:0d.1: Using SWNCQ mode". Any ideas? Any help would be much appriciated.
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> Vikasss: ask away
[17:00] <davey_> is there a command in the terminal so u can watch what java is doing when you start an application?
[17:00] <craigbass1976> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/Un0NCEPz
[17:00] <samster34> ActionParsnip: I'm already using nomodeset
[17:00] <sary> naj42181: have this driver=iwlwifi loaded for Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 625 .. is this the correct driver o be in use ?!
[17:01] <Vikasss> my installation take a hell lot of time and the system heats up.
[17:01] <splnet> Bronze: not necessarily. you are assuming the network trouble are the same on the client and the server. Do we know that?
[17:01] <Vikasss> I have to poweroff
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> Guest5101: if you set the SATA to IDE compatibility mode, is it ok?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> Vikasss: do you have switchable video chip (Intel and AMD / Nvidia)?
[17:01] <L3top> Guest5101: in the bios you may have to select a different SATA mode (AHCI, RAID, ide etc)
[17:01] <Vikasss> I have a laptop
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> samster34: is this on an installed OS, or the installation?
[17:01] <Vikasss> lenovo 450g
[17:01] <Guest5101> ActionParsnip: Let me try.
[17:02] <Bronze> splnet: based in his description above - cant ping certain web sites, his problem is with the connection dropping. while screen survives that, the copy process will not.
[17:02] <samster34> ActionParsnip: I can't install
[17:02] <samster34> ActionParsnip: this is what happens when I try to live boot or install
[17:02] <splnet> Bronze: well I was assuming that was the trouble on his client.
[17:02] <Vikasss> I have set the mode to SATA
[17:02] <samster34> ActionParsnip: I've also tried the alternate disc already
[17:02] <naj42181> sary: afk brb
[17:02] <Vikasss> still it doesnt work out
[17:03] <Guest5101> L3top: I don't think so since it was working perfectly. Everything was working fine, I turned the computer off and it never did turn off. I had to reboot it manually and after that it never booted again.
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Vikasss: try the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[17:03] <sary> naj42181: Tyt , make sure to check back with us here.
[17:03] <Vikasss> how do I do that?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> samster34: tried Xubuntu? The default kernel is slightly different
[17:03] <splnet> Bronze: but yeah, if the trouble is on his server, then I agree fix that first.
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | Vikasss
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Vikasss: instead of immediately asking, try searching a little
[17:04] <Rexter> i'm missing the boot animated splash screen. Is this a plymouth issue?
[17:04] <Bronze> splnet: yup, gotta find the issue. I suspect its a timeout.
[17:04] <Vikasss> I did but didn't get much. Also I had installed Redhad earlier but it went smooth
[17:04] <FeNiXx> ciao a tutti
[17:04] <samster34> ActionParsnip: no, but I have tried Mint, debian, gentoo, ubuntu 10.04, I'm sure I'm forgetting some
[17:04] <trism> Bronze: that said, it doesn't look like ntop uses upstart yet, so something like: sudo update-rc.d -f ntop remove; would probably work better
[17:04] <Vikasss> Ubuntu is where I'm facing the problem
[17:04] <presidentskroob> Hi all, I'm new to ubuntu and am wondering if anyone can suggest Usage monitoring software for my home network. Thanks!
[17:04] <samster34> ActionParsnip: windows 7 of course runs fine. >_>
[17:04] <log> !it | FeNiXx
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> samster34: not of course really
[17:05] <L3top> Guest5101: had you rebooted before? Or was this the first reboot?
[17:05] <Vikasss> But I shall surely look at the ubuntu help.
[17:05] <Vikasss> But I shall surely look at the ubuntu help
[17:05] <Vikasss> Thanks....
[17:05] <Guest5101> L3top: I have plenty of times.
[17:05] <samster34> ActionParsnip: the thing is, I don't want to run windows on it, but that's all that seems to work so far.
[17:05] <Rexter> has the animated splash been removed from 12.04?
[17:06] <Bronze> trism: yes that would work, but I actually want to keep the package installed. just want to configure it to run manually
[17:06] <cowdog1> hello
[17:06] <L3top> Guest5101: I would then boot to the live disk and run fsck -f /dev/sda1  (assuming my partition was AT /dev/sda1)
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> samster34: what is the make and model of the syste (if you have one)?
[17:06] <cowdog1> ok why
[17:06] <trism> Bronze: that won't remove the package, just the links in /etc/rc?.d/
[17:07] <Guest5101> L3top: But I can't boot even from a live disk if the SATA controller is enabled.
[17:07] <cowdog1> k
[17:07] <stripe> how do I reduce the size of the de3sktop so that it will fit in my monitor, at the moment I have no access to any of the controls
[17:07] <Guest5101> L3top: My harddrives are not accessible.
[17:07] <samster34> ActionParsnip: it's a Fujitsu-Siemens prebuilt...something. intel Q8300 LGA775, 2x2 GB DDR2, an nvidia 9800 GT, motherboard seems noname
[17:07] <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.
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> samster34: what model Fujitsu-Siemens ?
[17:08] <L3top> ActionParsnip: he had been running the install fine after several reboots
[17:08] <Bronze> trism: looking, brb
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> L3top: worth a try
[17:08] <L3top> Guest5101: However, it is possible your bios glitched and changed modes due to somethng strange
[17:08] <samster34> ActionParsnip: Esprimo P1500
[17:08] <L3top> ActionParsnip: agreed
[17:09] <samster34> ActionParsnip: Mi4W - D2950
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> samster34: does it have the nvidia GPU?
[17:09] <samster34> ActionParsnip: not the one it shipped with, that was a GT 420 / GT 220
[17:09] <samster34> ActionParsnip: has a 9800 GT currently
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> samster34: tried the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[17:10] <Guest5101> L3top: Nope. I have changed to default settings. It was like that before anyway. I did disable the SATA controller, booted with a usb but when I went back to the BIOS and enabled the SATA controller it froze.
[17:10] <samster34> not yet, I will, gotta leave for a bit. testing the memory again in the meantime. thanks so far!
[17:11] <Guest5101> ActionParsnip: Now I get seven dashes and hangs.
[17:12] <stripe> hello, I still need some help here
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> Guest5101: what GPU do you use?
[17:13] <Guest5101> L3top: ATI 5650
[17:14] <craigbass1976> ActionParsnip, the update hogs out when running from another box (one using en ethernet card) as well; I'm pretty sure it's my ISP.  I just know that when I call they'll want to knwo my OS and then blame it on that.
[17:15] <L3top> Guest5101: default settings may not be IDE compatability mode... but frankly, this sounds like a mobo problem to me. If you cant boot to CD or DVD without DISABLING SATA then something is very wrong.
[17:15] <L3top> Guest5101: mobo or drive
[17:15] <stripe> anyone know where I can go to get some help
[17:16] <Guest5101> L3top: The CD/DVD drive works, the Hard disks are fine. Of that I am 100%.
[17:16] <xangua> !ask | stripe
[17:16] <wylde> !patience | stripe
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: yeah they love doing that
[17:16] <L3top> I am trying to help you stripe. You never returned the result of lspci -nn | grep VGA to me
[17:16] <Guest5101> L3top: I do suspect it's a motherboard problem.
[17:16] <stripe> I have asked the question and there is no help-
[17:16] <L3top> Guest5101: Ok. Do you have another hardrive?
[17:17] <L3top> stripe read my reply.
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> stripe: if nobody knows, how do you expect anyone to answer exactly?
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> stripe: think about it
[17:17] <Guest5101> L3top: I have three.
[17:17] <wylde> !details | stripe
[17:17] <stripe> LO£top as I explained I am using another distro so that I can access xchat, and I cant run to OS at once
[17:17] <L3top> You have 3 gpus?
[17:18] <L3top> Then I missed it stripe. Sorry.
[17:18] <stopostit21> Hi!
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> stripe  it's easier if you just repeated the question
[17:18] <stripe> np L3top
[17:18] <L3top> It is heplful if you get my name in the post stripe
[17:18] <L3top> perfect.... one second
[17:19] <stopostit21> can someone try to connect to my chan #cancoillotte? This way, i'll see if it works!
[17:19] <krfkeith> hi, I'm trying to set up xubuntu to serve some files for a PXE boot. I'm a little confused on setting up the dhcp/tftp server
[17:20] <elspuddy> can some one please tell me how to use the scp command, i can only understand the scp user@host bit , all i want to do is copy a folder over from one pc to anohter
[17:20] <wylde> krfkeith: which part?
[17:20] <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] <ActionParsnip> elspuddy: nautilus can connect to SFTP
[17:20] <L3top> Sorry I mistook your post for stripes Guest5101. Are you saying you have 3 drives attached?
[17:20] <krfkeith> *uses
[17:20] <Guest5101> L3top: no, I have 3 hard drives
[17:21] <splnet> elspuddy: scp -pr SRC user@remote:
[17:21] <wylde> krfkeith: are you using one nic or two?
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> krfkeith: the address the system will get internet from
[17:21] <krfkeith> I'm using eth0 for PXE
[17:21] <L3top> If you plug a different HD in can you boot to cd?
[17:21] <krfkeith> I don't care about forwarding
[17:21] <L3top> Guest5101: ^
[17:22] <halfie__> how do I disable sounds in ubuntu 12.04?
[17:22] <krfkeith> it's just a really small BIOS file for this thin client thing
[17:22] <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
[17:23] <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?
[17:24] <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/"
[17:25] <midnightmagic> i am trying to install a cli-only version of dspam on my ubuntu 10.04 lucid machine. I altered the /etc/dspam/dspam.conf and then removed dspam. however, when reinstalling it, it doesn't recreate the config files. is there a way to force it to reinstall the dspam config files in /etc/dspam ?
[17:25] <mietek> Apparently it's possible to hide the network indicator now -- http://iloveubuntu.net/system-settings-received-1-click-option-showhide-network-indicator-ubuntu-1204 -- but I don't have that checkbox! Why?
[17:25] <rkokkelk> Hello guys, how can I disable pressing the Enter key after switching workspaces??
[17:26] <infid_> how can i set up a webcam on my ubuntu laptop and be able to see it from any computer through a website?
[17:26] <L3top> You should first install cheese infid_, and see that your webcam can be used.
[17:26] <stripe> L3top  sudo lspci -nn | grep vga  produces no output
[17:26] <L3top> VGA
[17:26] <L3top> or grep -i
[17:27] <L3top> don't need sudo stripe
[17:27] <notjoe> anyone ever have an issue where your resolution was 1920x1080 but the menus, texts, and windows look as if it was 640x480?
[17:27] <midnightmagic> found my solution:  dpkg -P dspam  -- will purge everything including config files.. yay./
[17:27] <elspuddy> vector, exelent thanks, :) and for saftey im writing that command down :)
[17:27] <stripe> L3top  02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:1245] (rev a1)
[17:28] <APoulos> quick question - would it be a good idea to backup your .gconf folder at a better point in time when your system was running right?
[17:28] <vector> elspuddy: np. haha good plan.
[17:29] <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] <L3top> stripe you might also run update-pciids
[17:30] <splnet> L3top: what does update-pciids do?
[17:30] <stripe> L3top will go and try thanks
[17:30] <L3top> updates your PCI Id database, which helps identify the HW better splnet
[17:31] <APoulos> ..
[17:31] <Max^> cool
[17:31] <wwd> Looking for advice I am trying to make my system recognize partitions and label them as the same /dev/sdx# device upon reboots. 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] <wwd> something obvious. Thanks in advance.
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> L3top: seems to be a Nvidia GTS 450   (based on 10de:1245)
[17:32] <APoulos> well then
[17:32] <L3top> It is... ")
[17:32] <Guest5101> L3top: If I boot from a IDE drive and am able to access my SATA drives without any problem, what do you think the problem could be?
[17:32] <ngomes> how is called the network manager support channel ?
[17:33] <APoulos> so no one can tell me if its a good idea to backup the .gconf folder or not?
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> wwd: I believe you can make udev rules to make devices take certain names
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> ngomes: if it's under Ubuntu, then here
[17:33] <L3top> Guest5101: I want to run fsck -f /dev/sdXY   where X is the drive number and Y is the partition
[17:33] <mado> howdy folks! ... some guy in #libreoffice told me to come here for my issue ... you see ... i was chatting somewhere else (http://the4gospels.net/) ... and i tried copy-pasting a line someone sent me to libreoffice ... in windows this worked fine but in ubuntu 12.04 it does not
[17:33] <mado> any ideas?
[17:33] <trism> mietek: that option was removed later in the cycle, see: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/1:3.3.90-0ubuntu2
[17:33] <ngomes> ActionParsnip, i want to discuss something specific about nm
[17:34] <wwd> okay udev rules.
[17:34] <Guest5101> L3top: Anyway I can boot the Ubuntu drive which is SATA, but it doesn't finish loading Ubuntu.
[17:34] <L3top> Guest5101: I get it now... duh, your CD drive is on a later assigned SATA port
[17:34] <wwd> there isn't a file where i can say, I wash this uuid to always be this /dev/sdx#
[17:34] <L3top> Guest5101: same still applies. I would run fsck
[17:35] <APoulos> so nobody can give me an answer?
[17:35] <L3top> Guest5101: from anything OTHER than it that will boot and is linuxy
[17:35] <trism> mietek: as it mentions though, the key is still there, if you install gconf-editor, then /apps/nm-applet/show-applet uncheck
[17:35] <APoulos> not even the slightest?
[17:35] <L3top> !patience | APoulos
[17:35] <mado> APoulos, i guess you have to wait like me :)
[17:35] <mietek> trism: gconf or dconf?
[17:36] <mietek> So confusing
[17:36] <trism> mietek: gconf, the settings haven't migrated in ubuntu yet
[17:36] <mietek> Thank you
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> APoulos: sure, if you need the settings it holds, back it up.It's not even 2Mb here
[17:37] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: because Im going to reinstall my whole 12.04 - I purged evolution not knowing it would uninstall Gnome shell and gnome with it
[17:37] <L3top> Why on earth would they send you here mado? It is clearly an application issue. The OS is not blocking you from copying and pasting. Out of curiosity did you try using the right click cp/paste?
[17:37] <Guest5101> L3top: I will install ubuntu on the IDE drive and boot it, and check the SATA drive. I will get back to you.
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> APoulos: yeah, evolution has a weird dep of one of the gnome panel packages
[17:37] <Guest5101> Thanks L3top and ActionParsnip!
[17:37] <madsj> hi; I keep getting a conflict with firefox and adobe-flashplugin
[17:38] <L3top> Or if you had a thumbdrive you could just drop the CD to it, probably faster Guest5101
[17:38] <mado> L3top, ... i marked the text with my mouse ... and tried it via CTRL+C / CTRL+V :)
[17:38] <stripe> L3top already running the latest version of nvidia-current, also ran update-pciids without success
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> madsj: i've seen 2 users with that on launchpad too
[17:38] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: so best course of action is to reinstall then?
[17:38] <madsj> in ubuntu 12.04; I've tried "sudo aptitude install -f" and nothing helps
[17:38] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: format and reinstall 12.04?
[17:38] <L3top> mado: try using right click, just to see if it is any different
[17:39] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: because APTonCD doesnt help at all in reinstalling Lib files
[17:39] <L3top> stripe: Okey doke... are you saying update-pciids did not update ? Or just that it made no difference... I would at this point run nvidia-xconfigure
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> APoulos: gives a nice clean 12.04 install :)
[17:39] <heliAAA> is alt+enter a special shortcut in ubuntu/unity?
[17:40] <mado> i get an error-message again L3top ... sorry i forgot to mention before that i got one :)
[17:40] <openeye> Hi all, is there already a bug report for the fonts dissapearing on ubuntu 12.04?
[17:40] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: yep, time to fire up the unetbootin
[17:40] <APoulos> :)
[17:40] <APoulos> thanks guys
[17:40] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: thanks mate
[17:40] <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...
[17:41] <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] <mado> soo L3top ... "a certain clipboard-format isn't available"
[17:42] <L3top> I thought you booted to ide Guest5101
[17:42] <midnightmagic> FYI: dspam does NOT work in standalone command-line mode on Ubuntu right now.
[17:42] <samster34> ActionParsnip: alright I'm back, first test pass of this memory module went without errors...
[17:43] <Guest5101> L3top: I from a USB when I disabled the SATA controller in the BIOS.
[17:43] <L3top> Well that would be why they sent you here mado. Unfortunately I have no idea on that, hopefully someone else will
[17:43] <L3top> Then how did you access the sata drive Guest5101?
[17:44] <Guest5101> L3top: I had a live usb from which I booted. At that moment I didn't need to access the SATA drive.
[17:44] <avis> what release of ubuntu uses the least resources ?
 L3top: If I boot from a IDE drive and am able to access my SATA drives without any problem, what do you think the problem could be?
[17:44] <Guest5101> L3top: The sata controller was disabled.
[17:45] <avis> supported
[17:45] <nimbiotics> can someone please recommend a personal document manager for ubuntu? TIA!

[17:45] <Guest5101> L3top: that was a question :).
[17:45] <avis> other than lubuntuj or xubuntu
[17:45] <samster34> so, how many memory test passes should I run before I am to be satisfied that the memory is not the problem? just the one pass on this single 2GB stick took 40 minutes
[17:45] <xangua> avis: kubuntu¿
[17:45] <avis> i have dual core 2.9 and 3 gb and my system crawls
[17:45] <mado> brb folks ... need to answer a call
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> avis: What video chip?
[17:45] <avis> xangua,i an not suicidal
[17:46] <avis> ActionParsnip, nvidia
[17:46] <xangua> ...
[17:46] <avis> its just an amd x2
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> avis: did you install the proprietary nvidia driver?
[17:46] <avis> yes
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> avis: amdx2 is more than all my systems combined :)
[17:46] <avis> is natty a little heavy ?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> avis: natty is fine, have you tried Precise?
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> nimbiotics  https://zfranciscus.wordpress.com/2010/04/11/miranda-your-personal-ubuntu-file-manager/
[17:47] <L3mce> Sorry I dropped Guest5101
[17:47] <avis> i do believe that requires more cpu resources
[17:47] <Guest5101> L3mce: np
[17:48] <delac> how to edit groups?
[17:48] <samster34> ActionParsnip: how many memory test passes should I run? the first one completeted fine, but this takes forever..
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> samster34: just one will do
[17:48] <samster34> ActionParsnip: alright, then I'll try blacklisting nouveau now
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> delac: edit i what way?
[17:49] <samster34> blacklist.nouveau = 1 was it?
[17:49] <avis> samster34, 3  and your memory should definitely be good or bad
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> samster34: yes without the spaces
[17:49] <nimbiotics> MonkeyDust: THX
[17:49] <brontosaurusrex> what would be a media library / file indexer or whatever is called software to go with this description : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=PFRSSGL1 ?
[17:50] <samster34> ActionParsnip: any particular place in the boot entry that Is hould put this? before the --, after?
[17:50] <L3mce> This reeks of bad HW Guest5101... I would go ahead and pull the drive, and try another. Or do the original suggestion, not setting hardware defaults in bios, but explicitly trying to set IDE mode. If your bios somehow glitched, it would almost certainly reset to defaults, which is probably something other than IDE compatability mode... just something worth checking
[17:50] <delac> ActionParsnip: the user account manager previously had "edit groups" option too. is there a graphical way to do that anymore?
[17:50] <whoever> isn't 12.04 in the repos yet , i thaught i saw it this morning ?
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> samster34: delete:  quiet splash    and put it in it's place
[17:50] <stripe> L3top nvidia-xconfigure command not recognised, but managed to ease the screen over and access system settings and from there alterd resolution so thats that sorted thanks
[17:51] <brontosaurusrex> + is there an command line xml utility that can search a certain xml format/tree of some sort?
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> whoever: 12.04 of what?
[17:51] <MonkeyDust> whoever  12.04 is an ubuntu version, it is not something in the repos
[17:51] <L3mce> 12.04 is released whoever. You will not be able to upgrade in update manager until there is a point release, you can do upgrade using the -d switch from terminal... if that addresses your question.
[17:52] <L3mce> that may just be for 1004 actually... whoever
[17:52]  * L3mce never upgrades... always starts over
[17:52] <whoever> ActionParsnip: of ubuntu
[17:53] <root> C3
[17:53] <root> here
[17:53] <root> ....
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> whoever: it's released, it's may now which would make it 12.05
[17:53] <Sample> Q: I'm having unusual issues with tasking where at times certain apps (yesterday Pidgin, today Xchat) end up getting hidden and not restoring.  I can't find them with Mod+W, and clicking them will take me to the correct desktop but the actual application is no where to be screen.  It's as if it never restores from a hidden/minimized state
[17:53] <samster34> ActionParsnip: okay, get stuck here now:  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21007284/WP_000094.jpg
[17:53] <Guest92888> NICK <Cr@zy3xpl0!t>
[17:53] <Sample> Has anyone had similar problems or know anything about this?
[17:53] <Guest92888> NICK <C3>
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> samster34: if you disable USB (assuming youaren't booting using USB)
[17:53] <Guest92888> sup ?
[17:54] <whoever> MonkeyDust: i could had swarn i saw ubuntu 12.04 LTS in synaptic this morning
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | Guest92888
[17:54] <samster34> ActionParsnip: I am booting from usb :/
[17:54] <Guest92888> me from virtualbox
[17:54] <Guest92888> on windows box
[17:54] <oCean> Guest92888: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[17:54] <dexcitrix> anyone know any good place to get thinkpad t410i laptop's keyboard, it seems hard to find at my local sources (finnish web sale etc etc)
[17:54] <Guest92888> it's backtrack dude
[17:54] <Guest92888> !
[17:54] <Guest92888> isn't it cool ?
[17:54] <oCean> Guest92888: that is not supported here
[17:54] <MonkeyDust> Guest92888  join #backtrack-linux
[17:54] <Guest92888> cool
[17:54] <oCean> Guest92888: chit chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> Guest92888: backtrack isn't supported here
[17:55] <Guest92888> thank ya
[17:55] <unit3> Just discovered that prevu has been deprecated in 12.04 in favour of backportpackage. However, I can't figure out how to get backportpackage to work the way prevu used to.
[17:55] <samster34> ActionParsnip: even then, how would I disable USB? I have no otpion to turn it off completely in the BIOS
[17:55] <unit3> Given a URL to a dsc, how do I get it to build a local package for install?
[17:55] <unit3> backportpackage -w somedir http://path/to/package.dsc just seems to produce a new set of source files, not a built package. :(
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> samster34: looks like you need a boot option or two, you may find how-tos online using the last few lines of your output
[17:56] <Guest5101> L3mce: Thanks for your help.
[17:57] <L3mce> Guest5101: did you figure it out?
[17:58] <samster34> ActionParsnip: what exactly am I looking to do, disable ehci?
[17:58] <Guest5101> L3mce: I think it's a hardware problem. I will have to ditch my SATA drives till I can buy a new motherboard or a new computer.
[17:58] <beefman> i just updated to 12.04, got it booted correctly, and reverted to gnome classic.  was using xfce before update but don't like it
[17:59] <bagels> does any wacom tablet work well with Precise? I'm thinking about buying one
[17:59] <nimbiotics> MonkeyDust: that is a file manager; what i'm looking for is a document manager; a software to catalog, obtain, sort and so on, documents
[17:59] <beefman> i had configured wicd before the prior update, so it's overwriting my resolv.conf, but network manager is configured to add dns servers i want
[17:59] <beefman> is fixing this simply a matter of removing wicd?
[17:59] <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] <midnightmagic> what's that cool auto-deb builder that you can use when creating a deb from a tarball?
[18:00] <smcrossman> I'm having a somewhat serious issue....can someone help me?
[18:01] <MonkeyDust> smcrossman  if you're sweet
[18:01] <Bronze> smcrossman: if you tell the channel more then they will know if they can help you.
[18:01] <smcrossman> haha
[18:01] <smcrossman> okay...well I goofed yesterday so now I can't log in with my userid
[18:02] <toastedpenguin> which repo contains the dev packages for lucid?
[18:02] <smcrossman> basically my /home partition doesn't exist (it does...but....)
[18:02] <smcrossman> I have gotten in and have admin but I don't know how to get the partition mountable again
[18:03] <krfkeith> urgh, I'm so lost: so I connect to the internet through wlan0, I want to configure dhcp server to look at eth0, and then run a TFTP server there
[18:03] <chronos> Someone can take a look on this BUG: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/992760, I guess is important
[18:04] <L3tops> Ok... if it is asking for a username, then it is mounted. What I would do smcrossman is boot to a live cd, chroot in, recreate your user and add him to the admin group.
[18:04] <trism> Bronze: glad you got it working
[18:04] <_joseph> Hi all, does Linux (in my case Kubuntu) have a system restore, I dont know what I did but the display is very huge and I can't fix it.
[18:04] <samster34> ActionParsnip: I can't find what I need to do :/
[18:04] <krfkeith> how do I set up the dhcp server and keep it from interfering with my normal connection
[18:04] <L3tops> smcrossman: which we will be happy to help you do.
[18:04] <Bronze> trism: or, "stopped working" :-)
[18:05] <ZenMaster> Hi, I have put my server as a DMZ. I can't get ftp connections from the outside but Http is working for instance.
[18:05] <ZenMaster> UFW status is off.
[18:05] <ZenMaster> (temporarilty).
[18:06] <Dr_willis> _joseph,  you mean the res is 'low' so its showing big fonts/icons/window borders? or the res is high? showing tiny icons
[18:07] <_joseph> low
[18:07] <trism> Bronze: indeed
[18:07] <smcrossman> L3tops:  I worked out the username....it isn't allowing anything but root and root gets an error message as well
[18:07] <Dr_willis> _joseph,  theres a display/monitors setting tool that may need looked at. or your video card drivers may be messed up.
[18:07] <_joseph> I think it's the second one
[18:08] <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.
[18:09] <_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
[18:10] <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] <L3tops> cause*
[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
[18:11] <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] <L3tops> trial smcrossman
[18:11] <lorenzo> hi, I have set ubuntu 10.04 as router following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router . now my host machine sees the connection i created but can't connect to it - looks like it times out. been working on it for days, I am puzzled. please help me
[18:11] <kpel> is it possible to upgrade from 10.04 LTS directly to 12.04 LTS?
[18:11] <smcrossman> L3tops:  Yes....last install I placed /home on a separate partiton
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> lorenzo: can you ping the system? Can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> kpel: yes, that is fully supported
[18:12] <L3tops> smcrossman: /root is your roots "home" directory
[18:12] <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!
[18:13] <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> L3tops:  is there a good link or somehting to help me iwth the superblock?
[18:13] <brontosaurusrex> is this http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/documentation.html a part of 12.04?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> lorenzo: if you set a manual IP in the right subnet is it ok?
[18:13] <kpel> ActionParsnip: thanks, will do :)
[18:13] <L3tops> Yes... IRC, to me. :P
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> !info tracker precise
[18:14] <DrPOo_44> what command do I use to see the system errors at boot time?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> DrPOo_44: dmesg | less    will help
[18:14] <L3tops> smcrossman: when you get into live boot do NOT attempt to navigate your drive
[18:14] <smcrossman> L3tops:  do you want me to use live CD and go  into a trial...just run from it?  right?
[18:14] <lorenzo> ActionParsnip, I tried to set a static IP but I dont know how. can you point me to a good guide or walk me through it=? thanks
[18:14] <L3tops> Correct smcrossman
[18:14] <Fyodorovna> whoever, from what release to 12.04, and a reboot will be needed at the least after the upgrade.
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> lorenzo: use network manager...
[18:15] <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] <L3tops> The reason for this smcrossman is that doing so will try and mount it, and we need it unmounted. I am assuming your install partition is at /dev/sda1    do you know differently smcrossman?
[18:15] <jwtiyar> how to moce close.min,max to right side on 12.04
[18:16] <starlocke> so.... how is the HUD activated... ?
[18:16] <iceroot> !controls | jwtiyar
[18:17] <xangua> starlocke: press alt i believe
[18:17] <starlocke> hm...
[18:17] <auronandace> starlocke: press the super key
[18:17] <jwtiyar> starlocke, press alt
[18:17] <starlocke> alt!
[18:17] <L3tops> afk
[18:17] <starlocke> awesome.
[18:17] <starlocke> even simplier than i expected it to be :D
[18:17] <starlocke> i was trying alt-super, ctrl-super... etc XD
[18:17] <lorenzo> ActionParsnip, what values should I enter? the address for the connection would be the ip of my router machine? thanks
[18:17] <starlocke> thanks :D
[18:17] <mado> L3tops, and others .. i'm almost back
[18:17] <iceroot> hud is only availbe for unity?
[18:18] <auronandace> iceroot: yes
[18:18] <whoever> Fyodorovna: 11.10
[18:18] <samster34> what's a good remote desktop application that will let me control my ubuntu desktop from my win7 machine? (over gigabit LAN)
[18:19] <whoever> Fyodorovna: and yes i am sure it will need a shutdown -r now :-)
[18:19] <jwtiyar> iceroot, thanks
[18:19] <deebee396> is the ubuntu android only for phone manufacturers, or is it just not ready for release yet?
[18:19] <iceroot> samster34: vnc, teamviewer
[18:19] <Fyodorovna> whoever, ubuntu is designed to upgrade from release to release so yes you can, make sure your backed up first if possible.
[18:19] <iceroot> deebee396: just not released
[18:19] <jwtiyar> i have added my kurdish aramic keyboard but after restarting my pc they keyboard does not work on my kurdish keyboard
[18:19] <samster34> iceroot: does teamviewer work when one of the two is offline?
[18:19] <deebee396> k thx
[18:20] <iceroot> samster34: "yes" but you need the current id of the client
[18:20] <Escherial> hey, i've installed ubuntu over windows on my machine, so that the windows partition is mounted at /host
[18:20] <iceroot> samster34: or use freenx, nothing is faster then freenx but its not showing the desktop its starting a new session
[18:20] <whoever> Fyodorovna: yes i have an image but can't seem to get it with dist-upgrade or synaptic
[18:21] <Escherial> i'd like to decrease its size so i can install ubuntu 12 (my ubuntu partition is currently too small), but for some reason i can't unmount /host even though nothing is using it afaict
[18:21] <iceroot> !freenx | samster34
[18:21] <whoever> Fyodorovna: so now the question is how
[18:21] <Escherial> i'm using gparted to attempt to resize the partition, by the way
[18:21] <deebee396>  my power went out when upgrading to 12.04, ubuntu went all corrupt, gotta transfer all files and re install now D:
[18:21] <samster34> iceroot: hm...well I don't really care, can I set it up so there is no other session running by default, and the one freenx starts is the only one?
[18:21] <iceroot> samster34: yes, thats the default
[18:22] <samster34> iceroot: that should work nicely then
[18:22] <james296> can anyone tell me how to change the screen resolution for the login screen? I cant even find the xorg.conf file in the etc filder
[18:22] <iceroot> samster34: and its fast like your are directly on the desktop
[18:22] <jwtiyar> i have added my kurdish aramic keyboard but after restarting my pc they keyboard does not work on my kurdish keyboard
[18:22] <iksik_> hm
[18:22] <samster34> iceroot: what about a windows client for this
[18:22] <Fyodorovna> whoever, go to synaptic-settings-repositories=updates then set the drop down to al release then run a update and it should show in the update manager
[18:22] <iceroot> samster34: rdesktop or an freenx client (see link from ubottu )
[18:23] <iksik_> is it possible to change this desktop switcher from square to line? (12.04/unity)
[18:23] <samster34> iceroot: thanks very much :)
[18:23] <toastedpenguin> noticed that my lucid install doesn't find a lot of -dev packages, how can I add a repo that contains these?
[18:23] <iceroot> toastedpenguin: which package for example?
[18:23] <james296> anyone?
[18:23] <whoever> Fyodorovna: i think i got it i thought i clicked upgrade but i only upgraded system apps thx
[18:23] <toastedpenguin> ruby1.8-dev
[18:23] <iceroot> !info ruby1.8 lucid
[18:24] <iceroot> !info ruby1.8-dev lucid
[18:24] <Fyodorovna> iksik_, not in the left panel, docky will show a straight line if you have switched to the cube.
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> james296: if you edit /etc/default/grub   it may respect the res there
[18:24] <Monotoko> hey guys, does anyone know how I can connect to the Internet through vpn-only? If the VPN drops I want my entire network dropping along with it
[18:24] <iceroot> toastedpenguin: its in the main repo
[18:24] <toastedpenguin> when I do a apt-cache search it doesnt find it
[18:24] <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> toastedpenguin: please paste the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[18:24] <iceroot> !paste | toastedpenguin
[18:25] <Monotoko> ty ActionParsnip, il go have a look :)
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> Escherial: you can use the liveCD to resize partition, be sure to run a full backup before you start
[18:25] <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.
[18:26] <makol1995> hi all, i have the following question: my printer samsung network printer is marked with a red sign  in: system settings  --> printing.
[18:26] <Fyodorovna> s/god/good
[18:26] <makol1995> how can i fix this?
[18:26] <toastedpenguin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/960671/
[18:26] <sleepycat> Can someone with some knowledge of live-build take a look at my question on askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129081/why-is-live-build-failing-to-find-this-package
[18:26] <iksik_> Fyodorovna: i'm not using a cube
[18:27] <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?
[18:28] <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] <txdv> how can I determine whether linux uses 802.11b/g or n on my stick?
[18:28] <smcrossman> L3tops: I;m on the netbook here.....the desktop is the one I have the problem with....currently right next to each other
[18:29] <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] <Fyodorovna> Escherial, here is the link you need it is a script look close I assume it still works. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354
[18:29] <james296> how can I change the resolution the login screen uses in vmware fusion?
[18:29] <iceroot> toastedpenguin: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy rubi1.8-dev  should show it in the main repo
[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....
[18:30] <L3tops> smcrossman: fdisk -l | pastebinit        and just give me the trailing random part of the url same with mount | pastebinit
[18:30] <Escherial> ugh, creating a new partition is going to be painful, seeing as i'll have to do it in windows
[18:30] <xangua> !info conky
[18:30] <xangua> HoNgOuRu: you mean conky¿
[18:30] <Escherial> i don't have my live CD, either, and i don't even think i can use it anymore since the optical drive in my laptop is shot
[18:30] <auronandace> HoNgOuRu: conky
[18:30] <HoNgOuRu> xangua, I believe so
[18:30] <HoNgOuRu> thank you
[18:30] <HoNgOuRu> auronandace, thanks
[18:31] <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 :)
[18:32] <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] <smcrossman> I;m not finding pastebinit
[18:32] <gr33n7007h> What is the file you edit for grub splash screen in 10.04?
[18:32] <L3tops> smcrossman: sudo apt-get update
[18:32] <Fyodorovna> Escherial, just make sure you understand the limitations in amount of primary and logical partitions on a single HD, logicals go in a extended type partition.
[18:32] <samster34> I'm trying to network my ubuntu machine to my windows 7 machine...ubuntu says it's connected (configured the IPs manually), but windows says "cable unplugged"....uh..?!
[18:33] <patch> How can i restore the sources list pleas?
[18:33] <L3tops> smcrossman: I don't really know your level of technical experience, do you know that your installed partition is /dev/sda1?
[18:33] <auronandace> patch: what ubuntu are you using?
[18:33] <Fyodorovna> patch, http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[18:34] <L3tops> patch: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[18:34] <patch> auronandace, 12.04
[18:34] <L3tops> oh... lol... sorry
[18:34] <HoNgOuRu> cant configure conky, needs lua5.1 any ideas?
[18:34] <Fyodorovna> L3mce, jinx
[18:34] <HoNgOuRu> what do I have to install ?
[18:34] <Fyodorovna> L3tops, ^^
[18:34] <arnsa> guyz when I ./configure and "make" program, how do I run it?
[18:34] <auronandace> HoNgOuRu: tried installing lua?
[18:34] <HoNgOuRu> yes.
[18:34] <smcrossman> L3tops:  actually I have dual boot dev/sda7 = /  sda5 = swap and sda6 should be /home
[18:34] <HoNgOuRu> auronandace, dont have it in software center
[18:34] <Fat-Thing> is there any program in ubuntu like adobe audition? for making trans music? hehe
[18:35] <whoever> Fyodorovna: i am trying to upgrade but am getting  this error durring "ugrade channels "W:Failed to fetch http://deb.opera.com/opera/dists/stable/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'non-free/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) . so how do i remove it or ignore it since the upgrade just stops
[18:35] <arnsa> guyz when I ./configure and "make" program, how do I run it?
[18:35] <patch> L3tops, Can i add them to 12.04 ?
[18:35] <auronandace> !info lua5.1
[18:35] <arnsa> guyz when I ./configure and "make" program, how do I run it?
[18:35] <malkauns> why does the compiz visual bell not work in 12.04?
[18:35] <L3tops> ok smcrossman in terminal: umount -f /dev/sda6             just to be safe... will probably tell you not mounted.
[18:35] <deebee396> fat-thing never used audition, but tried audacity?
[18:35] <arnsa> can you stop ignoring me and answer????
[18:35] <UnwinnableDonB> I'm running a dist-upgrade and it's stuck on linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic. It freezes at "run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub 3.2.0-24-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic"
[18:35] <auronandace> HoNgOuRu: sudo apt-get install lua5.1
[18:35] <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.
[18:36] <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] <HoNgOuRu> auronandace, I have it in apt-get sorry, not showing in lxde software center
[18:36] <L3tops> smcrossman: sudo fsck -f /dev/sda6
[18:36] <roscar> I should add that this has been happening for a couple months and has persisted since I've upgraded to 12.04
[18:36] <sleepycat> Fat-Thing: take a look at Ardour.
[18:37] <NotLarry> whats wrong with this picture? http://i.imgur.com/wf2fq.jpg
[18:37] <NotLarry> oh, wrong window, sorry
[18:37] <smcrossman> L3tops:  not mounted....still no luck on pastebinit  is there an alternative
[18:37] <gr33n7007h> What is the file you edit for grub splash screen in 10.04?
[18:37] <L3tops> that doesn't really compute... but it will probably not be needed at this point.
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <smcrossman> L3tops:  okay so what was the command you wanted run & the last bit of again?
[18:39] <toastedpenguin> guess I missed an update along the way
[18:39] <LinuxMint> Any one know a good windows(and osx) free laptop?
[18:39] <lousygarua> i put b43 on /etc/modules but it won't load on startup, i noticed there's some blacklist-something file under /etc/modules.d/ which disables the b43 module but it has a warning that it is auto generated and i'm not sure if it's smart to edit it

[18:40] <cakenewbieee> hi there everybody
[18:40] <maheanuu> My CD/DVD burner quit working mid burn, and doesn't recognize any media,  how do I go about troubleshooting this in Ubuntu 10.04?
[18:40] <cakenewbieee> I'm stuck in a problem here
[18:40] <cakenewbieee> with ubuntu 11.10
[18:40] <LinuxMint> not available in india :(
[18:40] <L3tops> linuxR: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[18:41] <sleepycat> Can someone with some knowledge of live-build take a look at my question on askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129081/why-is-live-build-failing-to-find-this-package
[18:41] <cakenewbieee> I'm trying to bake a model using cakephp using xampp but apparently i need to enable pdo_mysql extension
[18:41] <cakenewbieee> how can i do that?
[18:41] <cakenewbieee> im new to ubuntu...
[18:42] <ngomes> what's the name of the network manager package  ?
[18:42] <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] <L3tops> ngomes: apt-cache search network |grep manager   see if you can find it
[18:43] <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] <ZenMaster> I am aboslutely boggled.
[18:43] <Escherial> cakenewbieee: ah, hrm :|
[18:43] <efe> hello everybody, i am looking for a little bit help here about some graphic card issue
[18:43] <ZenMaster> I have firewalls rules off, I have the machine as a DMZ. I have tried two different ftp daemons.
[18:43] <ZenMaster> And still I am getting actively refused.
[18:43] <Escherial> cakenewbieee: heh, enable it in both? i don't know
[18:43] <efe> is there anyone who can help me?
[18:44] <L3tops> K4k: chown $USER:$USER /path/to/file
[18:44] <L3tops> K4k: sudo chown $USER:$USER /path/to/file
[18:44] <cakenewbieee> Escherial: You mean uncomment it?
[18:44] <ngomes> L3tops, found it , but it says it will leave dependencies unresolved: is this a problem ?
[18:44] <madsj> is there some kind soul who can send me a zip-file of /var/lib/dpkg/info/emacs* ?
[18:44] <L3tops> ummm... what did you find?
[18:44] <Escherial> cakenewbieee: right
[18:45] <efe> guys i dont wanna disturb anyone but i need help about my graphic card?
[18:45] <L3tops> what version are you on ngomes?
[18:45] <cakenewbieee> phpinfo() is telling me  that pdo_mysql is enabled however it is using xampp's php.ini
[18:45] <ngomes> L3tops, 12.04
[18:45] <madsj> I've tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a" and it just circles around with a2ps.el
[18:45] <Escherial> efe: just ask and if anyone knows they'll answer
[18:45] <smcrossman> L3tops:  /dev/sda6: 114727/3055616 files (0.4% non-contiguous), 3810568/12206848 blocks
[18:45] <L3tops> yes... and what did you find ngomes
[18:45] <ngomes> yes , its called network-manager
[18:45] <ngomes> aptitude remove network-manager says that
[18:45] <L3tops> smcrossman: did you fix it or did it say it was clean?
[18:45] <K4k> L3tops: chown: cannot access 'filename': Input/output error
[18:46] <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] <K4k> L3tops: I should clarify, I've mounted a cifs share using mount.cifs. The files in this directory are the ones giving me trouble.

[19:02] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, I'm trying to boot from the external drive with only Ubuntu installed. ls in the Grub rescue shows me hd0 with msdos1 and hd1 with msdos7,msdos6,msdos5,msdos2 and msdos1
[19:02] <dotblank> ZenMaster, do you have custom iptables?
[19:02] <ZenMaster> dotblank: I think i have followed a tutorial that uses UFW and uptables.
[19:03] <dotblank> Might look into that
[19:03] <ZenMaster> I can't remember, I built this home server from scratch.
[19:03] <biggestMASTEReve> Hey
[19:03] <ZenMaster> So even if I have UFW off, that does not control iptables?
[19:03] <dotblank> Cause the socket is listening to all interfaces
[19:03] <biggestMASTEReve> Can you Give Me Help
[19:03] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, short answer: no
[19:03] <dotblank> yea, IPtables is its own thing
[19:03] <hareldvd> Can I remove lilo package?
[19:03] <Fyodorovna> HJE841, using a live ubuntu cd download this script extract it to your desktop and run this command and pastebin the results text http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/     sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript
[19:03] <biggestMASTEReve> Help me
[19:03]  * ZenMaster slaps forehead
[19:03] <trirnoth> Hello all. Added a second drive to my system (identical to the original). Is there an easy way to set up RAID 1 ?
[19:03] <biggestMASTEReve> You Help Me?
[19:03] <dotblank> more low level then ufw
[19:03] <biggestMASTEReve> Can you Help Me
[19:03] <dotblank> !ask
[19:03] <biggestMASTEReve> well i used Ubuntu 10.1ß0
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> biggestMASTEReve: just describe the problem, DON'T ask to ask
[19:04] <biggestMASTEReve> and i read support is off
[19:04] <escott> ZenMaster, off and on with ufw is not really the correct terminology. The rules are either loaded into the kernel or not.
[19:04] <Fyodorovna> HJE841, this script will save a lot of time to get to the answer.
[19:04] <biggestMASTEReve> So  i installed the latest and newest ubuntu 12.04
[19:04] <deebee396> can someone answer my question please
[19:04] <Joshun> hi
[19:04] <ZenMaster> escott: I am informed. Thank you.
[19:04] <L3tops> smcrossman: did you get the pm?
[19:04] <escott> trirnoth, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Convert_a_single_drive_system_to_RAID
[19:04] <pyboy> biggestMASTEReve: what problem are you having
[19:04] <Joshun> how do you get superscript ordinal numbers (i.e. dates) to work in libreoffice in 12.04?
[19:05] <belnac> eeks, this is one busy channel!
[19:05] <smcrossman> i haven'ts een it....uh....
[19:05] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, okay, I'll unplug the dock with the external drive and run the script
[19:05] <trirnoth> escott: cool. thanx. reading now.
[19:05] <biggestMASTEReve> my problem is
[19:05] <biggestMASTEReve> my ubuntu what i installed is not the real ubuntu
[19:05] <belnac> lol
[19:05] <Fyodorovna> deebee396, you installed ubuntu from windows right?
[19:06] <biggestMASTEReve> my problem is
[19:06] <biggestMASTEReve> my ubuntu what i installed is not the real ubuntu
[19:06] <gameid> !repeat
[19:06] <Fyodorovna> HJE841, no run it with everything,
[19:06] <biggestMASTEReve> GAMEID stop that
[19:06] <pyboy> biggestMASTEReve: what are you talking about only download it fron the ubuntu.com
[19:07] <aeon-ltd> biggestMASTEReve: explain how it isn't the real ubuntu
[19:07] <biggestMASTEReve> Yes i did
[19:07] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, but I need to unplug the dock in order to boot at all
[19:07] <deebee396> no Fyodorovna, i used usb installer then botted from a usb, but i didnt get any options to boot into ubuntu after so i used easyBCD to set up the boot selection thing
[19:07] <trirnoth> escott: wow. a lot to read. but directions are what I was looking for. thanks.
[19:07] <Fyodorovna> HJE841, a live cd?
[19:07] <deebee396> *booted
[19:07] <pyboy> biggestMASTEReve: how is it fake if you got it fron there
[19:07] <haus> lucid packaging question: why did activerecord and activesupport get removed from lucid universe repository? (or how could i find this information out?)
[19:07] <biggestMASTEReve> aeon-tls: because it looks totally different from what i know in ubuntu  10.10. it looks like a big monster, like a major pest
[19:07] <haus> libactiverecord-ruby and libactivesupport-ruby to be exact
[19:07] <dotblank> wow, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.4/+bug/944321
[19:07] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, the external drive has a stand alone Ubuntu installed
[19:08] <aeon-ltd> biggestMASTEReve: show the channel a screenshot
[19:08] <escott> trirnoth, thats arch specific so you'll have to adapt it for ubuntu. mostly when you get around to making the initrd image (which shouldn't be too hard -- update fstab, /etc/modules and rerun the update-initramfs script)
[19:08] <aeon-ltd> biggestMASTEReve: there were big changes from 10.xx to 12.xx
[19:08] <deebee396> yeh
[19:08] <Fyodorovna> deebee396, do you have multiple windows installs?
[19:08] <deebee396> no
[19:08] <Joshun> if anybody's tried typing 1st or 2nd into libreoffice
[19:09] <Joshun> they should notice it doesn't work properly
[19:09] <Joshun> is there a way around this?
[19:09] <pyboy> biggestMASTEReve:if you want to hate on ubuntu go somewhere else to do that
[19:09] <deebee396> joshun alt codes?
[19:09] <biggestMASTEReve> aeon-ltd: it looks like this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CBilxj4U23E/TsIMd88D_tI/AAAAAAAABSw/dpdZmZA2sXk/s1600/Ubuntu-12-04-and-Ubuntu-Server-12-04-LTS-Highlights.jpg
[19:09] <JonEdney> Anyone familiar with getting a PCI NIC working on Ubuntu without manufacurer-supported drivers?
[19:09] <Fyodorovna> HJE841, what I am trying to see is all the information regarding all your HD's.
[19:09] <escott> !nounity | biggestMASTEReve
[19:09] <opr_> hi guys whats that thing called for X where you can, for example press a button to get you into a state where typing a sequence of keys is converted to a special character. I might for example press AltGr, then enter `e which will be converted to é
[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] <escott> opr_, compose key
[19:09] <biggestMASTEReve> is it normal that it looks this way?
[19:10] <Monotoko> hmm, I've found a tutorial for configuring routes, but it's for Windows... does anyone know how I can configure routes in Linux to kill my net connection if my VPN dies?
[19:10] <opr_> escott, thanks
[19:10] <biggestMASTEReve> is it normal t h a t it looks this way?
[19:10] <aeon-ltd> biggestMASTEReve: that's normal
[19:10] <Joshun> aeon-ltd: format ordinal numbers is checked in autocorrect.
[19:10] <biggestMASTEReve> OKay+
[19:10] <aeon-ltd> biggestMASTEReve: it's called unity
[19:10] <biggestMASTEReve> Oh
[19:10] <deebee396> i g2g for a bit :/ if anyone has an answer please /query it to me
[19:10] <biggestMASTEReve> the big monster has a name:D+
[19:10] <Joshun> does some else use libreoffice here regularly who can test this?
[19:10] <biggestMASTEReve> the big monster has a name:D unity :D ^^
[19:10] <pndemc_> anybody ever installed the windows dll's into wine?
[19:11] <dotblank> pndemc_, yes, and its easy
[19:11] <BlouBlou> biggestMASTEReve: no, that's kde mwhaha
[19:11] <pndemc_> dotblank, did you find it was worth it?
[19:11] <dotblank> pndemc_, only back in the day, I would have a local install of windows and use its dll's
[19:11] <dotblank> but now it is no longer needed except for specific runtimes
[19:11] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, pm'ed the result
[19:11] <pndemc_> dotblank, think it would make games playable?
[19:12] <biggestMASTEReve> BlouBlou thats true :D But "unity" also
[19:12] <samster34> does anyone know how I can configure the NX client for windows to connect to my ubuntu freenx server, and use unity2d?
[19:12] <diomidis> I have 12.04 lts on my Presario cq57 . Wireless is always disabled can anybody help me
[19:12] <diomidis> ?
[19:12] <powersurge> hey, I'm trying to connect to a macs screensharing, they have "ask for permission" toggled. I think it's vnc but I am having the hardest time connecting
[19:12] <biggestMASTEReve> i really have to say i never saw such a shit like unity
[19:12] <biggestMASTEReve> ^^
[19:12] <kathy> I have a small acer laptop with 10.4.4 LTS installed and am wondering why the update manager is not offering 12.04   Shouldn't it?
[19:12] <powersurge> anyone have some time to help me sort this out?
[19:12] <ouser> anyone using openbox? please...
[19:13] <pyboy> biggestMASTEReve: this channel if for help  no opions
[19:13] <pyboy> biggestMASTEReve: this channel is for help  no opions
[19:13] <aeon-ltd> ouser: have done
[19:13] <biggestMASTEReve> !repeat | pyboy
[19:13] <hash> hello anyone here know much about remote desktop
[19:13] <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
[19:14] <pyboy> ubottu: ok
[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?
[19:15] <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
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <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...
[19:18] <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?
[19:19] <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
[19:20] <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..
[19:21] <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???
[19:22] <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
[19:23] <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] <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.
[19:24] <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
[19:25] <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
[19:26] <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)
[19:27] <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?
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <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
[19:30] <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) ?
[19:31] <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?
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <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
[19:34] <escott> LukeNukem, tab completion will automagically escape spaces and special characters
[19:34] <LukeNukem> ok
[19:35] <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"
[19:36] <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*
[19:37] <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:
[19:38] <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?
[19:39] <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/
[19:40] <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?
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <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.
[19:43] <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/
[19:44] <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?
[19:45] <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?
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <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] <maheanuu> escott, I have been trying with at least 10 commercial new disks that are good everywhere else,  and my virgin disks are memorex ones that I have been using for months and this cylinder was just opened for this project
[19:47] <modernbob> I have twinview running in nvidia driver on ubuntu 12.04.. I now have a second panel on the second screen.. I only need one panel.. how do I get rid of the copy
[19:48] <chronos> I really can't upgrade from LTS to LTS?
[19:48] <chronos> from 11.04 to 12.04?
[19:48] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, using the dock I've been able to boot up from sda from my desktop pc
[19:48] <escott> maheanuu, what are you using to burn? at what speed? are you seeing underflows? any error messages?
[19:48] <delac> DrPOo_44: yes, although it is in package i2c-tools
[19:48] <JessicaW> is there a way to use history -d to clear several lines from bash history at once?
[19:48] <kathy> upgrade in progress.  Thanks all.
[19:48] <delac> DrPOo_44: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lm_sensors
[19:48] <Fyodorovna> HJE841, so it booted from have sdb itself up to the dock was tried when booting the sdb?
[19:48] <kathy> (CLI method)
[19:49] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, yes
[19:49] <normatif> DrPOo_44: sudo dmidecode -t memory
[19:49] <maheanuu> I am using K3b and I cannot play a dvd, or music or open a file on disk or anything using anything file browser or k3b or movie player or anything
[19:49] <HJE841> Fyodorovna, it might be the dock or the USB port or the USB module in my BIOS
[19:50] <kathy> !dvd || maheanuu
[19:50] <coleix> guys what's the name for 64bit package of fglrx, videos are showing a little bit slow and the audio through hdmi keeps disappearing from the sound settings.
[19:50] <Fyodorovna> HJE841, sounds like something in that group there is a hardware channel that might help.  ##hardware
[19:51] <DRayX> aeon-ltd: Ya I saw that, but I'm looking for something that specifically addresses the addition of Hyper-V support in ubuntu 12.04
[19:51] <DrPOo_44> normatif, dmidecode does the trick, thanks!
[19:51] <delac> DrPOo_44: actually, lshw seems to give the information too
[19:51] <normatif> yw
[19:51] <lyrae> A long time go..6+years, a friend installed ubuntu for me remotely. I basically opened a terminal, did something, and he connected and installed. I could see everything he was typing. Anyone know what could've done that? want to try on a local machine
[19:51] <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 ?
[19:52] <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] <modernbob> try that
[19:52] <escott> pauser, traceroute?

[19:52] <boxbeatsy> hi, does anyone know where i can find a tutorial on how to enable sendmail on ubuntu 10.04?  i installed sendmail but am unsure how to configure it, and can't find instructions on google
[19:52] <LukeNukem> RyoRonin, do you mean rm -f
[19:53] <grkblood> I finally had to give up on Unity after our nearly year long marriage. :(
[19:53] <maheanuu> escott, I am having a recognision  problem at present It will not recognise any media...   is there any way to trouble shoot the drive without replacing it?
[19:53] <boxbeatsy> i've tried the instructions here as well to no avail :\ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10359437/sendmail-how-to-configure-sendmail-on-ubuntu
[19:53] <Fyodorovna> !senmail
[19:53] <Fyodorovna> !sendmail
[19:53] <pauser> escott: yes traceroute and pathping are almost the same
[19:53] <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 :/
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <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.
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <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
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <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] <seth__> Hey, I am triny to install JRE7 on my ubntu server and found the tutorial at http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-oracle-java-jre-7 . The link Java privides is a .gs, not tar.gz, will this mess up anything?
[20:00] <Crewsr3> I have an acer aspire 5734z-4512 with Intel GMA 4500M graphics chip.  I did a fresh install of 12.04 and for some reason the LCD back light turns off when ubuntu starts up.  I have it hooked up to a second displace and everything is fine.  If I put a bright flash light up to the laptop LCD I can see the image, but the back light is off.  Do anyone know how to fix this?
[20:00] <escott> wolter, precisely
[20:00] <maheanuu> That meant that the load or eject commands doNOT work
[20:00] <RyoRonin> LukeNukem: last try sudo rm -Rf /foldername
[20:01] <seth__> , sorry, .gz
[20:01] <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> a
[20:01] <OfficeITGuy149> n
[20:02] <mgaunard> I just did rm -rf /lib by mistake
[20:02] <mgaunard> any idea how I can save myself?
[20:02] <guntbert> !enter | OfficeITGuy149
[20:02] <escott> mgaunard, reinstall
[20:02] <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] <aeon-ltd> OfficeITGuy149: is someone pranking you via vnc?
[20:02] <hash> anyone here good with remote desktops
[20:02] <maheanuu> Yes it does
[20:02] <maheanuu> escott yes it does
[20:02] <ZenMaster> So I am pretty confident that iptables is blocking ftp traffic to my machine right now. How can I verify this?
[20:02] <OfficeITGuy149> no, I've seen this on multiple machines, multiple users, including my own
[20:03] <OfficeITGuy149> all are fresh Ubuntu installations
[20:03] <wolter> escott, ok perfect, thanks!
[20:03] <escott> maheanuu, so eject on the cli does work?
[20:03] <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
[20:04] <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] <OfficeITGuy149> if it helps, she's running an older version of ubuntu on a brand new (newly released) machine
[20:04] <Crewsr3> I have an acer aspire 5734z-4512 with Intel GMA 4500M graphics chip.  I did a fresh install of 12.04 and for some reason the LCD back light turns off when ubuntu starts up.  I have it hooked up to a second displace and everything is fine.  If I put a bright flash light up to the laptop LCD I can see the image, but the back light is off.  Do anyone know how to fix this?
[20:04] <hollowone> have you guys got good experience with U12.04 on the Virtual Machine?
[20:04] <NFisher> Hi evrbdy! I want to limit bandwidth from and to a certain ip-adres.. how can this be attained?
[20:04] <mgaunard> escott: any easy way to do this within an existing ubuntu session?
[20:05] <area51pilot> OfficeITGuy149: dif versions of Ubuntu?
[20:05] <wolter> escott, ok perfect
[20:05] <hash> so anyone here good with remote desktops
[20:05] <escott> maheanuu, sorry im going to be a bit of a broken record. i would say. do this all on the command line with cdrecord and use the fixate and eject options. should be cdrecord /dev/sr0 -image disk.iso -fixate -eject or some variant thereof
[20:05] <area51pilot> hash: whats the ?
[20:05] <guntbert> !anyone | hash
[20:05] <kathy> hash: What do you need?
[20:06] <OfficeITGuy149> The "close documents" issue is 10.10 on a U300s, the "random paste" issue is 11.10 on a T420s thinkpad
[20:06] <maheanuu> escott, even tho it is a holiday here, I have to go to work, I have 3 installations to do this morning, so I will be gone for quite a long time
[20:07] <escott> mgaunard, not really
[20:07] <benjamindaines> I'm trying to turn on power saving on my video card (gallium .4 RV530) following these directions http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature#KMS_Power_Management_Options but /sys/class/drm/card0/drvice/power_method doesn't exist
[20:07] <escott> mgaunard, if you really removed /lib you dont have a working system. you cant start new applications because their libraries are gone
[20:07] <hash> im trying to access mu ubuntu from windows i can get in access folders and such
[20:08] <mgaunard> escott: well I still have /usr/lib
[20:08] <hash> but if i try to open a terminal it dosent show on my windows things like desktop cube dont work
[20:09] <samster34_> argh, gome-settings-daemon is eating nearl all my cpu cycles
[20:09] <hash> well they work on ubuntu i was watching everything on my desktop while controlling from my win 7 laptop
[20:10] <normatif> Crewsr3: does it also happen when you run live from CD?
[20:10] <OfficeITGuy149> Does the synaptic trackpad even have "paste" or "close window" as configurable options?
[20:10] <Crewsr3> yes normatif
[20:10] <OfficeITGuy149> I assume not
[20:11] <Muttley_> hi. anyone knows when linux kernel 3.4 will be released? obviously it will depend on the stability etc but, do you have a forecast?
[20:11] <escott> Muttley_, for ubuntu not until 12.10
[20:12] <Muttley_> escott: i am referring to the kernel itself, not ubuntu in particular
[20:12] <escott> Muttley_, which is offtopic here
[20:12] <samster34_> I'm trying to use xrdp for remote-desktop, what option am I supposed to use when it asks me to log into xrdp?
[20:13] <samster34_> picture: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21007284/xrdp.png
[20:14] <mobiusstriper> hi, just upgraded to precise...now have some annoyance. When I switch workspace, the little window that shows which workspace I am in and preview all other won't go away unless I explicitly pressed "escape" afterward...
[20:16] <dpyro> hi, is there anyway to list all installed packages and their sizes?
[20:16] <dpyro> i ran out of disk space :(
[20:16] <area51pilot> samster34_:username and password of account on client system
[20:16] <nimbiotics> what does LTS stand for?
[20:16] <area51pilot> Long Term Support
[20:17] <krababbel> dpyro: there is the disk usage analyzer in system tools.
[20:17] <area51pilot> April 2017 this release
[20:17] <dpyro> if you're lazy and dont like to dist-upgrade every release use LTS ;)
[20:17] <nimbiotics> THX
[20:17] <dpyro> krababbel: i'm using xubuntu
[20:17] <Dako> Hey guys, how can I install jre-7u3-linux-x64.tar.gz ?
[20:17] <samster34_> area51pilot: yeah, it connects, says everything went fine, but all I have is a black screen, then it closes
[20:17] <dpyro> i'm wondering if i can do it CLI
[20:17] <krababbel> dpyro: du comman
[20:18] <dpyro> i just need ~500MB-1GB of space
[20:18] <Dako> Heyyy.
[20:18] <Dako> Anybody here?
[20:18] <Dako> How can I install jre-7u3-linux-x64.tar.gz
[20:18] <dpyro> if i do "du /" is it going to fully recurse?
[20:18] <Anope> hi all i have a problem detecting my USB 3G modem in 12.04 any sollution please ?
[20:18] <krababbel> hollowone: works fine in vm
[20:18] <normatif> Dako: extract under /opt
[20:19] <Dako> Sorry for being stupid how can I do that?
[20:19] <samster34_> okay, I managed to connect over remote desktop, but all I get is the background image. no menus, windows, nothing. no network traffic, no updates, ...
[20:19] <krababbel> dpyro: it has a switch for that
[20:19] <normatif> Dako: cd /opt; sudo tar xzf jre...tar.gz
[20:20] <area51pilot> samster34_: is it a slow connection?
[20:20] <MasterOfDisaster> dpyro: check /var/cache/apt/archives, /{usr,var}/tmp, and /tmp
[20:20] <area51pilot> samster34_: are you using minimum resources? ( video display set)
[20:20] <SteveC> is it possible to update ubuntu 10.04.2 to the latest from the command line?  I don't run the X11 interface
[20:20] <Newb> hi, I dont understand why my ubuntu runs so slowly, esepiciay in fiefox?
[20:20] <samster34_> area51pilot: it's a gigabit ethernet
[20:21] <MasterOfDisaster> dpyro: you should be safely able to free space by deleting all there
[20:21] <Anope> any sollution plase ?
[20:21] <Newb> I'm running 10.04
[20:21] <dpyro> SteveC: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[20:21] <dpyro> SteveC: also are you the same SteveC from gamesurge? :P
[20:22] <Newb> anyone
[20:22] <Newb> ?
[20:22] <guntbert> !please | Newb
[20:23] <samster34_> area51pilot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21007284/nothinghappens.png
[20:24] <Newb> Is it the ubuntu distribution slowing my machine or ubuntu itself?
[20:24] <Newb> I recieve a huge amount of lag
[20:24] <jbwiv> guys, at one time I used xinerama, so only Ubuntu 2d was supported. However, I've recently switched to an AMD card which supports my three monitors with compositing, so Gnome 3 is working well. I want to try Unity, but it no longer shows up in my lightdm menu...only Unity2d. How can I get Unity to show up again?
[20:24] <L3tops> can you be more specific Newb?
[20:26] <L3tops> Don't know how well this will go over, but I wouldn't fool with it atm jbwiv... or I would clone your existing setup before trying.
[20:26] <samster34_> anyone? I installed xrdp on ubuntu and am trying to connect from win7, but all I get is the wallpaper and a cursor, can't do anything and nothing happens
[20:26] <Newb> L3tops, I have ~3.2Ghz of cpu yet there is huge amounts of lag espicially in firefox, i.e. loading up pages especially you tube or any pages. I wanted to know if I updated to the latest ubuntu would it speed things up?
[20:27] <Newb> or is it implicit to firefox
[20:27] <L3tops> could be flash... that is symptomatic of the linux flash driver...
[20:27] <L3tops> might try gnash
[20:27] <L3tops> !gnash
[20:27] <dpyro> MasterOfDisaster: thanks for the tip, but those are all mostly empty
[20:27]  * MasterOfDisaster shudders
[20:28] <Newb> but do other people have the same issue
[20:28] <Newb> or is it specific to my hardware configuaration
[20:28] <jbwiv> L3tops, wouldn't try what? unity?
[20:28] <MasterOfDisaster> there's not an issue with flash, flash *is* an issue...
[20:29] <MasterOfDisaster> dpyro: nevermind then :)
[20:29] <krababbel> MasterOfDisaster: not anymore
[20:29] <dpyro> is there anyway to get disk usage by package?
[20:29] <Newb> do other people find significant lag using flash
[20:30] <L3tops> that is not my experience krababbel.
[20:30] <David-A> Newb: only internet is slow, or all programs too? consistent or varying?
[20:30] <newbieeee> Newb: what do you mean by lag? youtube video stutter? Coz i had exactly that problem after Ubuntu 11.10 installation
[20:30] <MasterOfDisaster> krababbel: kind of ot, query?
[20:30] <krababbel> mas L3tops: I meant that they dropped support altogether
[20:30] <L3tops> Newb:  it is a well known issue... you can google linux and flash and read more than you care to
[20:30] <LjL> dpyro: yes, there is a command line for that at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization but it seems to be down at the moment and i don't have the command handy
[20:31] <Pici> LjL: help.u.c works if you aren't logged in.  Something is broke with the theme (known issue).
[20:31] <LjL> ah
[20:31] <brontosaurusrex> is it just me or is it 12.04 absolutely crawling in virtualbox?
[20:31] <dpyro> LjL, Pici: not logged in, works for me
[20:31] <dpyro> command is "dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size}	${Package}
[20:31] <dpyro> ' | sort -nr | less" ?
[20:32] <Newb> David-A, mainly firefox and chrome, so internet browsers. newbieeee, ye that to.
[20:32] <dpyro> damn you linebreakage!
[20:32] <krababbel> dpyro: I doubt you will be able to get 500MB of applications.
[20:32] <newbieeee> two things helped me 1. www.youtube/html5 2. Flash-aid
[20:32] <dpyro> mwuhahaha
[20:33] <L3tops> jbwiv: on 3 monitors... for now... yes.
[20:33] <dpyro> GHC = ~250MB it looks like
[20:33] <Newb> L3tops, So if I update to a later release say 12.04 I would still have the same issue
[20:33] <samster34_> I'm trying to connect to a xrdp server on ubuntu from windows 7, all I see is the wallpaper and a mosue cursor though, and nothing happens, can't do anything
[20:33] <L3tops> jbwiv: or, as I said, use clonezilla to make an image of your current setup before trying
[20:33] <dpyro> LjL: thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
[20:33] <samster34_> brontosaurusrex: it's pretty snappy on my i7 desktop in virtualbox
[20:34] <dpyro> what about old linux images?
[20:34] <L3tops> If not worse Newb. Flash has released its final version for linux, ever. So there will be no fixing this in the future.
[20:34] <L3tops> I should say Adobe*
[20:34] <krababbel> MasterOfDisaster: no, I have crashes all the time, I just meant that Adobe dropped Linux supprt recently.
[20:34] <jbwiv> L3tops, I have three monitors working perfectly
[20:34] <modernbob> L3tops: unless you use chrome
[20:35] <Newb> L3tops, so whats the future for linux without flash?
[20:35] <MasterOfDisaster> krababbel: ah :)
[20:35] <jbwiv> I just don't have Unity (regular Unity) in my lightdm menu
[20:35] <MasterOfDisaster> HTML5
[20:35] <Joseph_K> hello
[20:35] <modernbob> flash has no futures anywhere
[20:35] <Joseph_K> reported a bug which affect more users and is really annoying
[20:35] <Elfshadow> hello
[20:35] <Joseph_K> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/992330
[20:35] <L3tops>  It will have flash... it will just have that same version Newb. Again, try gnash
[20:36] <samster34_> what is the most responsive way to remote control ubuntu from windows 7? teamviewer is sluggish as hell, vnc works but is still sluggish, lots of tearing, windows leaving trails that don't get updated....
[20:36] <naj42181> sary has been busting his/her ass trying to help me get my intel 6250 wimax/wifi connection stable. has anyone else dealt with this before?
[20:36] <L3tops> jbwiv: I understand... and as you have 3 monitors working perfectly, I wouldn't change it with unity 3d unless I had a backup of my system. It is just my advice, you don't have to take it.
[20:36] <TheBuntu> what are gnome shell extenisions  listes as.. can't find then in package manager in 12.04 ?
[20:36] <chronos> Ok guys, there is a REAL BUG happening on Upgrade to 12.04. That happened again and now I have all logs. The issue is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/992842 and probably happening to more people. I can say it is URGENT to solve.
[20:36] <airtonix> samster34_: freenx
[20:36] <shadykhan> whenever i install a dock ie. docky,awn they work for about 5 min then just dissapear any idea why?
[20:36] <modernbob> samster34_: nx
[20:36] <dpyro> samster34_: if you're feeling adventurous you can try ssh X forwarding with cygwin
[20:37] <samster34_> dpyro: not feeling +that* adventurous yet :p
[20:37] <dpyro> is it sluggish in general or because of network issues?
[20:37] <samster34_> airtonix, modernbob: I tried that, but I get the mentioned tearing and window trails despite a gigabit connection
[20:37] <jbwiv> L3tops, ok, I'll make a backup, thanks. Now how do i get unity3d back in my menu?
[20:38] <dpyro> tearing sounds like its trying to update just the active window
[20:38] <sae> Hi :) I would like to a program in the launcher to always open with a particular file. How can I adjust the launcher parameter of a program?
[20:38] <samster34_> dpyro: yes, I don't know how to turn that off though
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <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.
[20:40] <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?
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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] <foobArrr> I have a problem with awn on 12.04. the simple launcher applet forgets all launchers I add. worked fine on 11.10.
[20:42] <chronos> dpyro: yest, it is
[20:42] <dpyro> it would probably be the server that's limiting it
[20:42] <chronos> in some places dpyro
[20:42] <dpyro> D:
[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
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <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] <dpyro> if you have permissions you should just be able to, you know, use vnc and set the server settings from here :P
[20:44] <David-A> Newb: are you sure it is flash? didnt you have multi GHz cpu? youtube with flash should only use a fraction of that.
[20:45] <samster34_> I can, I just don't know where to look for the detailed settings..#
[20:45] <maheanuu> OK, am in the process of downloading Ubuntu 10.04.4 on 3 of my inlaws new puters I will be do the installs when they are completed,  These are all older machines but not too old and they will be used for learning Ubuntu and weaning people off windoze
[20:45] <dpyro> do you know what the server vnc software is?
[20:45] <samster34_> dpyro: not really. whatever ships with ubuntu 12.04
[20:45] <samster34_> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21007284/settings.png
[20:45] <maheanuu> escott, you still here
[20:45] <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?
[20:46] <TheBuntu> Can't find gnome-shell-extensions in package manager in ubuntu 12.04
[20:46] <Newb> David-A, I have 3.2GHz, How I seem to get accessive cpu usage?
[20:46] <Fraid2012> Hey!
[20:47] <samster34_> Gah, you startled me!
[20:47] <Kaco> hello
[20:47] <Fraid2012> lol
[20:47] <Fraid2012> I need some serious help
[20:47] <dpyro> samster34_: maybe you can try different server softwares?
[20:47] <Fraid2012> Im gonna get canned tomorrow if I can't fix this.
[20:47] <dpyro> otherwise poke around the relevant server conf file
[20:47] <dpyro> lol Fraid2012
[20:47] <dpyro> active TEAM UBUNTU
[20:47] <partyboy> hello everyone! i am PartyBOT v2.0, a mIRC Channel Bot by Dude. type "^help" in the channel for channel commands OR type "/msg partyboy help" for msg commands.
[20:47] <dpyro> TIME TO SAVE THE ECONOMY
[20:47] <Fraid2012> Could you help?
[20:47] <FloodBot1> dpyro: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:48] <samster34> dpyro: actually, I don't think I'm connecting to that...I installed the freenx-server, now to find it's configuration...
[20:48] <TheBuntu> Can't find gnome-shell-extensions in package manager in ubuntu 12.04 !!
[20:48] <dpyro> Fraid2012: you need to explain your problem, and them maybe someone can help you
[20:48] <partyboy> hello I have ralink 2870 wireless card how to install on ubunt 10.04
[20:49] <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.
[20:50] <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 .
[20:51] <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.
[20:52] <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.
[20:53] <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] <dpyro> firstly, can you fire up gparted from your livecd?
[20:53] <shadykhan> im on xfce and whenever i install anything from the software center debconf windows keep opening and closing
[20:53] <Fraid2012> dpyro: IS there a possibility it can be repaired through the Live ubuntu?
[20:53] <walbert> Hey guys - is there any practical compatibility/stability reason for Ubuntu to recommend the 32 bit distribution over amd64?
[20:53] <bigterd> is it possible to upgrade an old 9.x distro one version at a time, manually, with archived repositories?
[20:53] <Fraid2012> dpyro: as it's all i can use at this moment.
[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.
[20:54] <dpyro> Fraid2012: i think both windows 7 and grub will install to the MBR
[20:54] <dpyro> grub does it by default i think
[20:54] <maheanuu> I am very much in need of some tutorials on using the command line, does anyone know of anywhere on line that has such things?
[20:54] <Fraid2012> Ok i've opened Gpart.
[20:54] <bugs_bugger> is it possible my changing of partitions could've messed up grub config? didnt change / though
[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/
[20:55] <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] <dpyro> Fraid2012: is /dev/sda1 the active partition?
[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" ?
[20:56] <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] <adarax> i swithed back to 10.10
[20:56] <Glace> is ECMP(multipath) supported in ubuntu precise?
[20:57] <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.
[20:58] <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?
[20:59] <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?
[21:00] <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] <Fraid2012> dpyro: The guys who uninstalled Ubuntu simply "deleted" the partition's
[21:00] <partyboy> http://niroze.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/ubuntu-command-line-tutorial-and-examples/
[21:00] <Fraid2012> dpyro: all they left was the windows one.
[21:01] <maheanuu> partyboy, what?
[21:01] <partyboy> tutorial http://niroze.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/ubuntu-command-line-tutorial-and-examples/
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <Fraid2012> dpyro: I forgot to mention that ¬_¬ It does say Grub Rescue: >
[21:02] <samster34> I need help configuring freenx on 12.04
[21:02] <maheanuu> partyboy, Maruru Roa......   Maramara ma
[21:02] <sae> walbert: yes. personally I am sticking to 32 bits (PAE, in case more than 4 GB of RAM), just to be on the safe side.
[21:02] <Fraid2012> dpyro: But I do not know any of the commands :/
[21:02] <dpyro> lol that's completely different!
[21:02] <maheanuu> walbert, no I have tried all disks and it recognizes NO media at all virgin or commercial or copies
[21:03] <phibxr> [12.04] Is there any way to browse the reviews you have written in the Ubuntu Software Center?
[21:03] <conner_bw> Does anyone have 2 minutes to help me confirm a bug? I'm not sure if it's because I have an NVIDA care, or dual monitors, or whatever. Steps to reproduce are outlined: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/992847
[21:03] <walbert> sae: Aye, I've got 16gb of ram - and use a ton for simulationy stuff - which is why I decided to join here and ask :)
[21:03] <maheanuu> Party boy, that was thank you in Tahitian and your smart in the same language
[21:03] <Fraid2012> dpyro: What can be done to put a working MBR back onto the HDD?
[21:03] <dpyro> Fraid2012: i don't know the commands either, and i don't know the windows 7 booting process either
[21:03] <maheanuu> partyboy, that above was for you
[21:03] <Fraid2012> dpyro: Damn.
[21:04] <Fraid2012> dpyro: Through the LiveUSB can I perhaps install an MBR back onto the boot drive?
[21:04] <walbert> maheanuu: you could try mounting the drive manually... mkdir cd_stuff && mount /dev/cdrom ./cd_stuff
[21:04] <dpyro> Fraid2012: try a third-party windows-specific rescue disk
[21:04] <Kaco> Fraid2012, it was like root(hd0,1)
[21:04] <Kaco> Fraid2012, setup (hd0)
[21:04] <Fraid2012> dpyro: I would But I have No DVD DDrive.
[21:04] <samster34> conner_bw: can't reproduce, nvidia card but only single screen here
[21:04] <Fraid2012> dpyro: On top of it, i have no knowlegde of how to use Ubuntu terminal lol
[21:05] <conner_bw> samster34, thanks. Weird.
[21:05] <newbieeee> Hey guys can somebody please tell me how can i install pdo_mysql.so in xampp?
[21:05] <maheanuu> walbert, exactly as you typed it?
[21:05] <Kaco> Fraid2012: just google grub tutorials
[21:05] <newbieeee> its giving me an error that it doesnt e
[21:05] <walbert> maheanuu: aye
[21:05] <Fraid2012> I would but the problem is that, I can't afford to lose Windows on this machine.
[21:05] <newbieeee> exist when i start or stop it
[21:05] <samster34> conner_bw: nouveau or nvidia drivers?
[21:05] <Fraid2012> It has all of my past 6 months work on here.
[21:05] <partyboy> maheanuu: type this see what the output says  sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[21:05] <conner_bw> samster34, nvidia
[21:05] <Fraid2012> Thats why I came here, i've been trying to fix it all day.
[21:05] <Kaco> Fraid2012: backup first
[21:06] <Fraid2012> I can't.
[21:06] <Fraid2012> I can't back anything up, because i cannot boot into Windows.
[21:06] <dpyro> Fraid2012: you are on a livecd
[21:06] <samster34> conner_bw: I'm running the default nouveau drivers
[21:06] <Fraid2012> Im on LiveUSB
[21:06] <Fraid2012> Not CD.
[21:06] <dpyro> you can mount the windows partition if its not encrypted
[21:06] <sae> walbert: if you have enough HD space and time to spare, I'd try to run two systems in dual boot. 64bit can be a great improvement for that kind of work
[21:06] <newbieeee> anybody? Ubuntu is kicking my ass :D
[21:06] <dpyro> *liveUSB
[21:06] <newbieeee> help!
[21:06] <partyboy> if it has this put a # at the beggining of the line
[21:06] <Kaco> Fraid2012, anyway "fixmbr" from windows DVD will fix it for windows if something happens
[21:06] <conner_bw> samster34, my NVIDIA is not compatible with those, unfortunately.
[21:06] <Fraid2012> I dont have a Windows DVD
[21:06] <Fraid2012> lol
[21:06] <dpyro> Fraid2012: they have the same functionality, CD/USB
[21:06] <Fraid2012> Really?
[21:07] <blue8> hello
[21:07] <Fraid2012> So I Could install Windows 7 recovery disc onto a USB?
[21:07] <dpyro> Fraid2012: yeah, you should be able to mount and open up the windows partition
[21:07] <samster34> conner_bw: what kind of card is it? an Optimus?
[21:07] <walbert> sae: I'm just going to bite the warning bullet and go with 64 bit :)
[21:07] <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> etc.
[21:07] <partyboy> why can't i type
[21:07] <partyboy> oh i can
[21:08] <conner_bw> samster34,  GeForce GT 430. If I don't run "current" it won't boot.
[21:08] <dpyro> Fraid2012: wait, "COW"?
[21:08] <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] <Fraid2012> It says something about COW?
[21:08] <blue8> can any one help me whit setting static ip on ubuntu 12.04 server? i've modify /etc/network/interfaces and i don't have internet...but i can ping my rooter...but no internet
[21:08] <partyboy> any help on installing a ralink wireless adapter
[21:08] <Newb> tks for all the help
[21:08] <conner_bw> samster34, oh well, thanks for looking into it. Cheers.
[21:08] <maheanuu> partyboy, here is what I got back http://paste.ubuntu.com/961034/
[21:08] <sae> btw if you need to edit the launcher parameters of an application, the files can be found in: /usr/share/app-install/desktop
[21:09] <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
[21:10] <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?
[21:11] <walbert> Fraid2012: Follow this Microsoft article to remove grub from your system http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
[21:11] <bugs_bugger> *from a live cd?
[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
[21:12] <chronos> change sources
[21:12] <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/ ?
[21:13] <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] <walbert> sae: I believe the process of creating a rescue disk prompts for a windows 7 disk
[21:13] <Fraid2012> But ive just realised another issue ¬_¬
[21:14] <Fraid2012> Im using the USB right now, for this live sessions
[21:14] <Fraid2012> I cannot install files to this drive when its "in use"
[21:14] <bugs_bugger> Fraid2012: o you have a live cd on an usb?
[21:14] <Fraid2012> Yes
[21:14] <dpyro> lol
[21:14] <dpyro> how did you get this liveusb?
[21:14] <Fraid2012> I guess its fair to say it looks like im getting the can tomorrow lol
[21:14] <Fraid2012> I created it :/
[21:14] <Fraid2012> Using tutorials I found online
[21:14] <dpyro> from what?
[21:14] <dpyro> where?
[21:15] <fishcooker> i want to learn abt java threading
[21:15] <bugs_bugger> Fraid2012: you should be able to reinstall grub to your computer from the usb
[21:15] <partyboy> maheanuu: put this in /etc/fstab: /dev/hdc/media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto
[21:15] <fishcooker> is there any channel for that purpose
[21:15] <partyboy> see if that works
[21:15] <Fraid2012> I can find the links in a moment, but the USB I Created by formatting a standard USB Stick into NTFS,
[21:15] <dpyro> Fraid2012: first try reinstalling GRUB
[21:15] <dpyro> from what computer Fraid2012?
[21:15] <tekonivelo> i wonder if i should do a fresh install of 12.04. I've been doing dist-upgrades almost daily since 11.04
[21:15] <Fraid2012> This one
[21:15] <Fraid2012> This computer,
[21:16] <dpyro> is this a different computer from the one that's broken?
[21:16] <Fraid2012> No, this is the broken one
[21:16] <sae> walbert: I did it recently and that didn't happen. But the system had the following setup: 2 HDDs, first partition: rescue partition for reinstalling windows 7, second partition: system reserved partition, third partition: C drive
[21:16] <dpyro> Fraid2012: so you make a liveusb from a broken computer??
[21:16] <Fraid2012> No
[21:16] <acicula> fishcooker: threading in java? i would start with the java documentation, or maybe the #java channel?
[21:16] <Fraid2012> I made a Live USB when the computer was working
[21:16] <dpyro> ohhh
[21:16] <walbert> sae: Ah, I'm only familiar with windows' retail distribution
[21:16] <Fraid2012> I dont have a DVD Drive, so i had to use the ISO to install Ubuntu
[21:16] <Fraid2012> The a-holes at my work, remove it wrong from the HDD
[21:17] <Fraid2012> Killing the partitions
[21:17] <hypn0> Fraid2012, i think windows is still there, you just need to correct the boot, and teach your boss how to select windows with keys
[21:17] <dpyro> get access to a different computer
[21:17] <Fraid2012> lmao,
[21:17] <Fraid2012> my boss is worse than me
[21:17] <Fraid2012> but this is my personal machine lol.
[21:17] <dpyro> Fraid2012: did you try reinstalling GRUB?
[21:17] <Fraid2012> And I have all my work on it.
[21:17] <Fraid2012> I am going to try now
[21:17] <FloodBot1> Fraid2012: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:17] <dpyro> Fraid2012: don't let others monkey around with your machine :P
[21:18] <Fraid2012> No no i took the machine to work for help,
[21:18] <fishcooker> javadoc quite abundance to read
[21:18] <Fraid2012> i had a problem with Ubuntu, they said they would "fix" it
[21:18] <dpyro> lol
[21:18] <Fraid2012> and they deleted the whole damn paritition with every file for ubuntu on it
[21:18] <fishcooker> ok i'll try #java acicula
[21:18] <fishcooker> thanks for quick resp
[21:18] <dpyro> hey you know what you can do?
[21:18] <Fraid2012> whats that?
[21:18] <dpyro> just reinstall ubuntu to the same partition
[21:18] <Fraid2012> I tried lmao
[21:18] <Fraid2012> It says something about it not being specific or something
[21:18] <dpyro> and what happened?
[21:19] <schnuffle> fishcooker: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/
[21:19] <dpyro> lol you need to be more specific about what it said
[21:19] <Fraid2012> let me try again now, 2 moments
[21:19] <Fraid2012> ill be able to tell you the Error
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <Fraid2012> The Error I get it
[21:21] <Fraid2012> "No Root File SYstem is Defined - Please correct this from the partitioning menu"
[21:21] <chris|> fishcooker, why do you want to learn about threading? any specific problem?
[21:22] <Fraid2012> @walbert: I'll try those in a moment, im just trying to see what can be done first ;-)
[21:22] <Fat-Thing> mixmeister <---does anyone knows about mixmeister? i need an equivalent app for ubuntu anyone?
[21:22] <Fraid2012> Ok, I've formatted the prior Ubuntu partition
[21:23] <Fraid2012> The one I want to install ubuntu onto
[21:23] <L3tops> What is it Fat-Thing? That would be more helpful I think.
[21:23] <Fraid2012> the Windows partition is still here, however, the new(old) partition for Ubuntu is requesting a Mount point and all i can choose is /dos/ or /windows/
[21:23] <L3tops> DJ, video, mastering, postprod...
[21:24] <jbwiv> guys, at one time I used xinerama, so only Ubuntu 2d was supported. However, I've recently switched to an AMD card which supports my three monitors with compositing, so Gnome 3 is working well. I want to try Unity, but it no longer shows up in my lightdm menu...only Unity2d. How can I get Unity to show up again?
[21:24] <Fat-Thing> i need an application equivalent to mixmeister in mac does ubuntu got one?
[21:24] <L3tops> What IS it?
[21:24] <maheanuu> party boy  on your command line  /etc/fstab: /dev/hdc/media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto   This is what I am getting back .......   /etc/fstab: /dev/hdc/media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto
[21:25] <affine> hello
[21:26] <affine> Would anyone be kind enough to point me in the direction of where I might find help for some libpng-related stuff?
[21:26] <affine> For programming
[21:26] <sae> Fat-Thing: have you tried mixx
[21:26] <affine> not dep issues or anything
[21:26] <Fraid2012> dpyro: I cannot install Ubuntu onto ANY partition?
[21:26] <Guest154643> hello
[21:26] <FloridaGuy> Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages !!! sudo apt-get -f install is not doing anything
[21:26] <Fat-Thing> nope got a likn for that sae ?
[21:27] <sae> Fat-Thing: http://www.mixxx.org/
[21:27] <Guest154643> I have this:product: Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller
[21:27] <David-A> affine: what keywords should i google to help you?
[21:27] <Guest154643> and this driver:configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
[21:27] <affine> David-A, well I tried searching for a libpng irc. No luck.
[21:27] <affine> The filtering methods are poorly documented
[21:27] <Guest154643> Do I have to install any external drivers?
[21:28] <affine> 6.2 makes no sense at all for "None" http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/spec/1.2/PNG-Filters.html
[21:28] <L3tops> FloridaGuy: can I see your sources.list? please pastebin
[21:28] <samster34> how can I change the desktop resolution of a remote client over vnc when no display is connected?
[21:28] <L3tops> affine: apt-cache search libpng
[21:28] <affine> L3tops, I am not wanting libpng.
[21:29] <affine> I was wondering is someone here knew of any irc channel that is related to it
[21:29] <affine> because FOSS rocks and the contributors are knowledgeable on stuff like this :)
[21:29] <dpyro> Fraid2012: no / selected?
[21:29] <L3tops> you want libpng related stuff... that might give you a direction affine
[21:29] <dpyro> oh, that's an install error
[21:29] <maheanuu> partyboy, This is what I am getting it looks to me as if fstab is missing or corrupt  maheanuu@maheanuu-laptop:~$  /etc/fstab: /dev/hdc/media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto
[21:29] <maheanuu> bash: /etc/fstab:: No such file or directory
[21:29] <dpyro> just select /dev/sda2 as /
[21:30] <dpyro> Fraid2012: the installer is asking where do you want to put the "/" root directory for ubuntu in
[21:31] <momo_> quelqu"un peut m'aider pour installer le son sous ubuntu
[21:31] <Socket-> samster34: cant you just modify $HOME/.vnc/config and restart the service?
[21:31] <FloridaGuy> L3mce, whats a good paste site.. i know some people like different sites to view from
[21:31] <L3tops> !fr | momo_
[21:31] <L3tops> I like pastebin.com, because I LOVE pastebinit.
[21:32] <L3tops> !pastebinit
[21:32] <hash> ok so im back to simply state my problem with rdp is that the inputs from windows work on ubuntu but dont show up on the windows computer
[21:32] <krfkeith> oh. my. god. I have been trying to get this stupid dhcp stuff to work all day
[21:32] <fishcooker> fishcook
[21:33] <L3tops> What is the problem krfkeith
[21:33] <samster34> Socket-: there is no config there
[21:33] <FloridaGuy> L3mce, my source list..   http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[21:33] <Socket-> what config file did you use when you started the vncserver
[21:33] <fishcooker> i'll read it next schnuffle, thanks
[21:33] <hash> example i can open a terminal with the key commands and it opens on my ubuntu system but the terminal dosent show up on windows
[21:33] <krfkeith> I need to pxe boot this thin client
[21:33] <samster34> Socket-: none, I'm using X11VNC, it has a GUI :p
[21:34] <krfkeith> I can't get dhcp to work
[21:35] <L3tops> !details | krfkeith
[21:35] <L3tops> krfkeith: You will also probably find better help for this in #httpd
[21:36] <krfkeith> I'm not using httpd
[21:36] <krfkeith> but okay, let me explain
[21:36] <elspuddy> hi, i'm trying to set up a steam server on my x64 ubuntu server, a guide says i need zlib.i386.
[21:37] <finish06> i plan on dual booting with windows 7 on my computer... do I want to place the ubuntu on a primary partition or a logical?
[21:37] <krfkeith> I'm trying to boot a thin client via tftp. I'm currently using dnsmasq. When I try to start it up, dnsmasq tells me "eth0 unknown interface"
[21:37] <krfkeith> despite the fact that I have eth0 enabled and in the config file
[21:37] <escott> finish06, doesnt matter
[21:37] <hash> finish06 i found its easier to install ur linux on an external
[21:37] <krfkeith> let me pastebin my config file and interfaces file
[21:37] <L3tops> You want to install windows first finish06
[21:38] <finish06> L3tops, do I have to install windows first???
[21:38] <Socket-> samster34: did you try passing: -geometry WxH
[21:38] <argief> finish06, u can only have 4 primary parts, and you can only boot from primary
[21:38] <L3tops> yes finish06
[21:38] <escott> argief, windows might not be willing to boot from a logical but linux does not care
[21:38] <L3tops> Well.. HAVE to is a hard give, but windows will overwrite the MBR dropping grub finish06
[21:38] <hash> if u dont install windows first it completely removes the linux boot
[21:39] <SATop> i have windows installed first and after xubuntu that works best
[21:39] <Socket-> x11vnc -geometry 800x600
[21:39] <SATop> grub boots windows
[21:39] <argief> agreed, however the bootsector will still be on primary?
[21:39] <finish06> L3tops, so I would just need to reinstall grub??  i can handle that. :)
[21:39] <argief> you can then put ur kernel on logical
[21:39] <krfkeith> http://pastebin.com/cBje0CyF
[21:39] <krfkeith> there we go
[21:40] <samster34> Socket-: I can't even figure out how to stop it
[21:40] <L3tops> finish06: I believe that it will also make booting 7 problematic... but not positive, I just always do it the "right" way.
[21:40] <Socket-> how did you start it?
[21:40] <finish06> L3tops, ok! you convinced me to do it the right way. lol
[21:41] <tkeith> I just installed a server, but the RAID used metadata version 0.9 instead of 1.2. Why is that? All my other servers automatically used 1.2, and I set them up exactly the same.
[21:41] <samster34> passing the -geomtry 1920x1080 starts it, but then it says 1920x1200 again...(which makes sense, since that's the resolution of the connected display)
[21:41] <samster34> *geometry
[21:42] <Socket-> Im not sure the proper way to stop it, but you can always says 'killall x11vnc
[21:43] <hash> anyone good with rdp that can help with this  my problem with rdp is that the inputs from windows work on ubuntu but dont show up on the windows computer example i can open a terminal with the key commands and it opens on my ubuntu system but the terminal dosent show up on windows
[21:43] <Socket-> or, ps ax |grep -i x11vnc to determin the pid
[21:43] <Socket-> then, kill -9 ?????
[21:43] <samster34> Socket-: I only installed this because I couldn't get freenx to work
[21:43] <Monotoko> hey, why are the directories in /home defaulting to 755? Shouldn't they be 644 to stop others reading each others home?
[21:43] <samster34> it seems to run, and it's config says it's listening on port 22, but I can't connect there.
[21:44] <Monotoko> it used to be that way...
[21:44] <L3tops> krfkeith: what is your /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf look like?
[21:44] <tkeith> Monotoko: There's a configuration option, but you're probably looking for 700 (not 644)
[21:44] <stripe> anyone any ideas how to find a server in the uk that runs at a reasonable speed but has the software to go with it?
[21:44] <krfkeith> L3tops, I don't have dhcp3, since dnsmasq has a built in dhcp server
[21:44] <Monotoko> tkeith, I was just about to correct myself.. :) where's the conf option? And why isn't it set by default? :S
[21:45] <samster34> Socket-: been recommended freenx here several times, but nobody seems to want to help me get it running :p
[21:45] <L3tops> ah... I see... I cannot help then... I was about to ask about dnsmasq... sorry krfkeith... I am a bit of a one trick pony with regards to thin client boot
[21:45] <Socket-> never used freenix.  I use vncserver
[21:45] <krfkeith> L3tops, well do you have a method that works? I'd be more than willing to switch :P
[21:46] <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] <hash> Socket is vncserver good for rdp
[21:47] <krfkeith> hold on I found some info on the openwrt site, let me try that
[21:47] <Monotoko> tkeith, thank you!
[21:47] <krfkeith> if it doesn't work I'll ask you again
[21:47] <samster34> Socket-: x11vnc is a bit snappier than the included vnc server "vino", but despite ample network bandwidth and cpu cycles, it's still somewhat sluggish, especially with fullscreen changes
[21:47] <Socket-> isnt RDP a microsoft only protocol?
[21:47] <Andy80> before Ubuntu 12.04 I used to put my scanner's firmware in this folder /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/ now with 12.04 this folder doesn't exist anymore... which one is the new path? Thanks!
[21:47] <samster34> Socket-: no clue, but that's the aim anyways. I need to control it from a win7 machine
[21:48] <finish06> what is the appropriate mount point for swap?
[21:48] <escott> finish06, it doesn't have one
[21:48] <samster34> finish06: swap is among the filesystem choices
[21:48] <samster34> not mount points
[21:48] <hash> samster34  are u trying to control your linux system from windows
[21:48] <Socket-> samster34: whats your goal.  Are you trying to view windows desktops from a linux machine?
[21:48] <samster34> hash: yes
[21:48] <finish06> samster34, escott just found that out lol.. trying to be proactvie wtih questions - look stupid :(
[21:48] <samster34> Socket-: no
[21:48] <L3tops> krfkeith: our stuff is autoconfigured, but I can peel through the code and figure it out in accord with the working system I have up. All of my machines pxe boot to the core. http://linuxmce.org
[21:49] <finish06> do I want my swap to be primary or logical?
[21:49] <Fat-Thing> sae thanx im installing mixxx now thank you! :)
[21:49] <ben__> I am getting " subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" from a package I'm installing, how can I see which script is doing that?
[21:49] <samster34> Socket-: my goal is to control my ubuntu box that I can't afford to keep a monitor connected to from my win7 desktop
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <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. :)
[21:51] <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] <Socket-> samster34: I use xming to view linux apps form my nix server on my windows desktop.  Im not sure if it will allow you to do the entire desktop, but it will definanlty let you do x11 programs
[21:51] <alffess> i have audio problem with 12.04, anyone can helpl?
[21:51] <L3tops> !deatails | alffess
[21:51] <hash> l3tops teamviewer on the windows system
[21:52] <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] <samster34> L3tops: teamviewer is horribly slow, even over ethernet
[21:52] <L3tops> hash: www.teamviewer.com   linux/mac/windows interoperability...
[21:53] <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?
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <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
[21:56] <elspuddy> hi, i'm trying to set up a steam server on my x64 ubuntu server, a guide says i need zlib.i386. where can i find it :
[21:56] <hash> thats y i was originally trying to go thru windows rdp
[21:56] <loren> hola
[21:56] <NurseDad> is there a way using the gui to change the email in the notification are from TB to Evolution?
[21:56] <L3tops> I dont know tbrown. You would have to give more details about your system, what you have done etc
[21:57] <argief> hash, can you not use ssh?
[21:57] <L3tops> Was just a suggestion hash... argief evidently he wants a desktop
[21:57] <coleix> guys my wlan router supposedly gives a 300Mb connection but in ubuntu maximum I get is 144Mb, is there something I can tweak to reach 300Mb?
[21:58] <hash> huh
[21:58] <L3tops> !ssh | hash
[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] <Monotoko> I never assumed otherwise
[21:58] <L3tops> or boot live...
[21:58] <tarelerulz> I want to update to 11.04 from 10.10 and it says I don't have enough space.  Is there way to make the main system ( /) bigger while the system is running ?
[21:58] <Ben64> coleix: 300 is the maximum possible, it's almost impossible to ever get it
[21:59] <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
[22:00] <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
[22:01] <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] <Birisu> Hey guys, how do I get your cola in the United States? http://www.ubuntu-trading.com/

[22:03] <escott> barry_, can you describe your system a little better. what size disk, what other OSes, how new is it? might it be uefi?
[22:03] <here> runvnc: apt-get install openssl 1.0.0

[22:05] <Ben64> Birisu: if you want to explore ubottu, do it in private message
[22:05] <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
[22:06] <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] <runvnc> like dist-upgrade
[22:06] <ShooterMG> apt-get install ubuntu
[22:06] <here> runvnc: openssl 1.0.1 has a bug in it and i've been trying to rull back or upgrade to a 1.0.1b or openssl-4ubuntu5 or somethig like that.
[22:06] <ShooterMG> j/k :(
[22:06] <runvnc> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or something
[22:06] <Ben64> runvnc: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[22:06] <Birisu> Now, iWho k-lines in here?
[22:07] <runvnc> It seemed like when it did that it just wanted to install a new kernal and nothing else
[22:07] <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.
[22:07] <here> fyi, 12.04 LTS ships with a broken openssl
[22:07] <runvnc> fml I will try it anyway
[22:07] <runvnc> does dist-upgrade require a restart
[22:07] <Ben64> Birisu: join #freenode if you want to talk to irc operators
[22:07] <Ben64> runvnc: yes
[22:07] <Birisu> testing something
[22:07] <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] <runvnc> here so if I run dist-upgrade it will end up being broken anyway
[22:07] <Ben64> Birisu: this is not a test channel, it is for ubuntu support only
[22:08] <Socket-> here: what do you mean broken openssl?

[22:09] <here> runvnc: should be fine in 11.10 also there is a fix out for 12.04 , but i dont know how to install it (my question)
[22:09] <Your_Dog> oh
[22:09] <TheFuzzball> Logan_ Myrtti  Sorry guys
[22:09] <barry_> escott, oh i dont care about the raid.  it's just how the system came.  i just need ubuntu bootable so i canstart learning about it.
[22:09] <michaela> ok i have a gateway gt5656 and i installed ubuntu 12.04. My probeb is the boot splash screen, when i shut down it works but when i boot up i cant get the boot splash screen
[22:09] <Birisu> levi_, Sorry, I made a mass-ping test. It appears to work.
[22:09] <rbanffy> TheFuzzball, It's unlikely Birisu has feelings you can hurt
[22:09] <imnichol> Yeah you did, don't do it again
[22:09] <elspuddy> where can i find zlib.i386
[22:09] <wad> Just upgraded to 12.04 LTS. Looks about the same. One thing I noticed was that "sudo rmmod psmouse" crashed compiz.
[22:09] <Birisu> If Idoru was in here, I'd have gotten k-lined.
[22:10] <L3tops> interesting wad ty.
[22:10] <Corey> Birisu: Don't do it again, please.
[22:10] <Birisu> Corey, did literally everyone in the channel get pinged, or did I miss some?
[22:10] <rbanffy> Birisu, sorry, but for a moment I thought you weren't human. But, please, no mass-pings
[22:11] <Ben64> Birisu: it doesn't matter. this is not the channel for such tests
[22:11] <Birisu> Looks like I may have gotten everyone then?
[22:11] <Birisu> .
[22:11] <Birisu> In that case, what's a good test channel (with a population of users still?)
[22:11] <imbezol> sigh
[22:11] <Ben64> take it elsewhere
[22:11] <Birisu> ben64, what's a good test channel?
[22:11] <airdem> where can i download this package manually? http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/xdg-user-dirs-gtk
[22:11] <rbanffy> Birisu, open one of your own, invite your friends
[22:11] <finish06> how do I switch from desktop kernel to server kernel??
[22:12] <L3tops> airdem there
[22:12] <SATop> birisu no one has the burden to give you that info
[22:12] <Corey> finish06: Are they using different kernels now?
[22:12] <here> so how do i upgrade to openssl (1.0.1-4ubuntu5) and libssl1.0.0 (1.0.1-4ubuntu5) in 12.04 to fix a bug in ssl ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970471
[22:12] <Logan_> airdem: On that page (Download xdg-user-dirs-gtk).
[22:12] <sary> could some tell which drive is the correct one to be used with Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 wireless device !
[22:12] <imnichol> Birisu, you didn't get everyone either just fyi
[22:12] <L3tops> here try apt-get install --reinstall openssl
[22:12] <finish06> Corey, I am currently using the desktop kernel, want tot change to the server kernel
[22:13] <Birisu> imnichol, How did I not?
[22:13] <Corey> finish06: I don't *think* they're different?
[22:13] <L3tops> not even close... there are over a thousand users here.
[22:13] <airdem> Lo, right, i was confused. thank you
[22:13] <Corey> Birisu: Enough.
[22:13] <Birisu> I thought I pasted the whole userlist.
[22:13] <Ben64> L3tops: don't encourage him
[22:13] <imnichol> Birisu, because there are like 1.7k people in this channel, you pinged maybe 30 of them
[22:13] <L3tops> birisu this is a support channel. Imagine you needed help and some... person... was in here screwing up the chat... just for a moment... this isn't the place to play.
[22:14] <here> L3tops: it reinstalled 1.0.1-4ubuntu3 not 1.0.1-4ubuntu5 will try specifying package name again
[22:14] <imnichol> Birisu, and I was one.... so don't do it again
[22:14] <Birisu> But on XChat, when I go past the character limit, it automatically makes a new send-instance.
[22:14] <treats> I have a disk that I think is currupt.  I've booted into live ubuntu (12) and I'm trying to repair the boot sector as a last ditch effort to recover the files...  has anyone done this before (original os was xp)

[22:15] <shadykhan> any idea why Docky keeps randomly closing on me?
[22:15] <here> it is a bugfix for a known issue in openssl shipping with 12.04 LTS
[22:15] <treats> bcuraboy: best buy
[22:15] <L3tops> here: that doesn't put it in ubuntu repo.
[22:15] <bcuraboy> treats what do you mean?
[22:16] <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.
[22:16] <here> L3tops: awesome, so I can install it from source, is there anyway to recompile projects dependant on it after installing the bugfix from source?
[22:16] <here> L3tops: like curl?
[22:16] <treats> bcuraboy: like, the store bestbuy -- they can help with tv's and simple networks

[22:16] <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...

[22:18] <dragly_> Hi! Are there any differences between installing Kubuntu from the ISO and installing with apt-get?
[22:19] <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?
[22:20] <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.

[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.
[22:21] <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.
[22:22] <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] <hokachu> Yes, just once, but it had the exact same issue.
[22:22] <Ben64> michaela: this is for all ubuntu users, noob or expert
[22:22] <valeq> привет, ищу русского убунтоведа :)
[22:22] <hokachu> michaela, I believe this is it.
[22:23] <simplew> isnt posisble in ubuntu to install /root encrypted?
[22:23] <hokachu> Should I download an older version of Ubuntu?
[22:23] <airdem> how do i get the  ecryptfs passphrase?
[22:23] <Monotoko> simplew, you're not supposed to put things in /root
[22:23] <bugs_bugger> how can i log in to an existing installation using live cd?
[22:23] <airdem> to back it up
[22:24] <Myrtti> simplew: apart from /boot everything can be encrypted AFAIK
[22:24] <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] <L3tops> what GPU are you using dragly_?
[22:25] <imbezol> wad: have you rebooted since then?
[22:25] <simplew> Monotoko: why would i not be able to encrypt /root partition????
[22:25] <wad> imbezol, twice.
[22:25] <LuiX> does anyone had trouble with audio playback on 12.04?
[22:25] <dragly_> L3tops: Nvidia GTX 295 I think
[22:25] <Myrtti> simplew: /root isn't necessarily root partition, I think you might be mistaken somewhere
[22:25] <simplew> fedora, mandriva, mageia all them allow it
[22:25] <L3tops> I would go kde dragly_. The end.
[22:25] <wad> imbezol, lsmod shows psmouse
[22:25] <michaela> the reason i ask if there was a noob ubuntu chanel is because alot of whats in this room is complex and i dont want to wased anyones time
[22:25] <Monotoko> simplew, /root is the root users home directory
[22:25] <sary> !bug #952756
[22:25] <Myrtti> simplew: as I said, you should be able to encrypt anything apart from /boot
[22:25] <imbezol> wad: it might be that you need to get it back into the X config then
[22:25] <Myrtti> michaela: just ask the question, if someone knows the answer, they will answer
[22:25] <wad> imbezol, good idea.

[22:26] <hazelnutx> y laptop workingb like a laptop again, one that doesn't need to be tethered to an internet cable or a power cord?
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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.
[22:29] <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] <wad> imbezol, makes sense. :)
[22:29] <barnabas02> dzocrnanula: press CTRL+F7
[22:29] <wad> imbezol, so what's the magic to check for an enabled touchpad in 12.04?
[22:29] <michaela> ok i will try that one
[22:29] <LuiX> a good sound troubleshooting guide, anyone?
[22:30] <sary> hokachu: if not , what is it then !
[22:30] <imbezol> wad: afraid i don't know. have you tried running gnome-mouse-properties?
[22:30] <wad> I'll try it. The USB mouse works fine, by the ay.

[22:30] <Monotoko> simplew, truecrypt will encrypt the system... ask you for the password before it boots up again
[22:31] <hokachu> dragly_, do you think I should try updating or just go to an older version which might have more of the bugs worked out?
[22:31] <sary> hokachu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam
[22:32] <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?
[22:33] <dragly_> hokachu: I would go with 11.10 and wait with the upgrade until you know more about the problem. In the learning phase there is no need to go with 12.04 if it doesn't work for you.
[22:33] <sary> hokachu: You're welcome . you can search for ubuntu releated channels or any using alis .. for example /msg alis list *ubuntu*  .

[22:39] <Fat-Thing> just need to upgrade my kernel tho not interested on upgrading my distro
[22:40] <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] <kymeng__> is PHPRC variable use for setting the php.ini file path on linux or is this env variable is for windows only

[22:40] <Womkes> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I want to install NetBeans. it says it needs Java should I use the openjdk 6 or 7 package for this?

[22:41] <cricke> ok how do i do that?
[22:41] <Myrtti> Fat-Thing: you've got all the normal updates on the system?
[22:41] <dzocrnanula> Womkes: You can download java pack for netbeans.
[22:41] <Domain4sale> http://www.ebay.com/itm/330722589905
[22:41] <dragly_> Womkes: I think both work fine. openjdk 6 is probably more tested though, but if you get it to work with 7 you might get more features.
[22:41] <Myrtti> Domain4sale: please don't spam
[22:41] <dragly_> Womkes: I would test with 7 first - if it doesn't work, just install 6 instead ;)

[22:47] <sary> valeq: trubleshoot the issue .https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[22:48] <sary> benjamindaines: from power management .
[22:48] <dragly_> Womkes: jdk to develop Java, jre to run Java. You most likely need both.
[22:48] <valeq> sary, ty
[22:48] <benjamindaines> sary: elaborate?
[22:48] <loren_> hola...un saludo desde Madrid
[22:48] <Womkes> dragly_, yeah figured that much indeed, I installed JDK and it also installed JRE
[22:48] <Womkes> So I am good to go
[22:48] <Womkes> NetBeans installing right now
[22:49] <sary> Loonatic: try using a converter .
[22:49] <sary> benjamindaines: using Gnome !
[22:49] <benjamindaines> sary: do you think you could give me a little more than one word answers?
[22:50] <benjamindaines> sary: or do you mean, the option will be availble if I log into the gnome DE?
[22:50] <Loonatic> sary: good idea but i'm trying to find the issue so i don't have too do this all the time.. use to work before my update, i'll keep looking
[22:50] <dragly_> Womkes: Great! Enjoy NetBeans :) It's a nice developing platform.
[22:50] <runvnc> How can I install libssl-dev 1.0 on oneirc
[22:50] <sary> benjamindaines: which DE are you using , Gnome , KDE ..
[22:50] <runvnc> I have openssl 1.0 but libssl-dev is 0.9.8 still
[22:51] <benjamindaines> sary: unity 3d
[22:51] <Womkes> dragly_, thanks, I am using it at work but I am setting a development enviroment up at home in a vbox image :)
[22:51] <Womkes> so I can do some work from home now and then
[22:52] <sary> benjamindaines: you should find it under the system tools category.
[22:53] <sary> or search for , from the Dash > application , then search for it.
[22:54] <benjamindaines> sary: that makes sense under gnome 2, but I'm assuming you mean what's found in system settings > power in Unity.  But that just controls when the display goes to sleep / computer goes to sleep.  I'm trying to enable dynamic power management on the card
[22:56] <hwilde> holy crap
[22:57] <netsplit_comin> lol
[22:57] <synaptix|ubuntu> that was some pretty hard netsplit spam there lol
[22:58] <d3ngar> simplew: I was using a non-LTS distro
[22:58] <d3ngar> So I thought I upgrade to something that will be supported a while longer
[22:58] <d3ngar> Anyhow, now I can't boot up

[23:01] <OerHeks> and unity offcourse
[23:02] <FloridaGuy> someone just posted something to be and that big lig of green stole it from me
[23:02] <OerHeks> FloridaGuy, i repeat for you :  awesome list of gnome2/3 and gnome shell themes >> http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/themes-collection-for-ubuntu-1110-unity.html
[23:02] <OerHeks> i know, mass-join
[23:03] <synaptix|ubuntu> yea FloridaGuy, it just netsplit so quite a few handful of people got disconnected
[23:03] <mado> hello again folks :)
[23:03] <synaptix|ubuntu> mado o/
[23:04] <mado> synaptix|ubuntu, o/ :)
[23:04] <FloridaGuy> OerHeks, that don't do me any good.. that is not what im looking for.. i'n looking for a repo with all the gnome-shell-extensions... with the gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme... so i can install themes thru tweak-tool
[23:04] <Loonatic> welcome back  :)
[23:04] <Loonatic> Hi, i am having a problem running .mp4 videos (goPRO) they do play but real choppy but the sound is ok... all the other types of videos i have tried so far play without problem.
[23:04] <Lirth> How do I set java 7 to run by default (instead of java 6)?
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <Fyodorovna> Loonatic, what player are you using, or better what have you tried
[23:06] <simplew> i would like to use ubuntu but it does not allow to encrypt root partition :(
[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?
[23:07] <FloridaGuy> Anyone know where i can get repo for the gnome-shell-extensions for 12.04
[23:07] <manitou> is it fix for ath9k bug ? with nohwcrypt=1 still random freeze !?
[23:07] <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?
[23:08] <synaptix|ubuntu> FloridaGuy, you mean this-> https://extensions.gnome.org/ ?
[23:08] <Loonatic> Fyodorovna: i've tried vlc, movieplayer more apparent in v;c
[23:09] <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)
[23:10] <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.
[23:11] <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] <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.
[23:12] <xangua> finish06: you can use the Alternate precice pangolin iso to upgrade
[23:12] <finish06> Fyodorovna, I am going to force (long story) as I am not concerend about anything going too bad, how do I force?
[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?
[23:13] <Fyodorovna> finish06, not sure usually it is a command run from the alt-f2 command
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <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.
[23:17] <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.
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <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?
[23:20] <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] <FloridaGuy> with this repo... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3 .. i get gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme : Depends: gnome-shell-extensions-common but it is not going to be installed..E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.... But it is installed
[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] <mahdy> hi guys
[23:20]  * L3tops just gives small applaud to wad... really seems to know what he is doing
[23:20] <Fyodorovna> finish06, thanks for the update. :)
[23:20] <samster34> wad: yeah I installed gnome-panel to use with remote desktop, and then this happened
[23:20] <valeq> русские есть?
[23:20] <mahdy>  when i use qemu-system-arm with -vga std or -vga vmware i got this errors : Error: standard VGA not available
[23:20] <mahdy> and : Error: VMWare SVGA not available

[23:21] <L3tops> whats goin on mado?
[23:21] <wad> L3tops, except that I just steered him wrong. :-/
[23:21] <valeq> russian here?
[23:21] <wad> samster34, so you want to put the unit windows manager back?
[23:21] <L3tops> !ru | valeq
[23:21] <mado> L3tops, guess what? (in case you haven't read it yet) ... now my mic's working in this chat i mentioned a few hours ago ... but my cam no longer works :D
[23:21] <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] <samster34> wad: already did
[23:22] <wad> And after a reboot, it's still confused?
[23:22] <samster34> yes
[23:22] <samster34> I get my desktop
[23:22] <samster34> I can open terminals
[23:22] <samster34> see stuffon my desktop
[23:22] <funnyboy243> I see.  Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
[23:22] <samster34> but no unity thingy
[23:22] <funnyboy243> Umm.  Are you serious?  What's your sign?
[23:22] <trek29> are there any usb wireless adapters that linux will find right on installation? or do they all require work to get them functioning?
[23:22] <wad> samster34, yeah your windows manager isn't launching properly. Open a terminal, and type "unity --replace &"
[23:22] <funnyboy243> Yes I think there are.   Who are "they" again?
[23:22] <Flynsarmy> how can i get the classic run menu on unity in 12.04? I went to keyboard shortcuts, set it to alt+f2 but when i hit alt+f2 i still get the stupid crippled unity version
[23:22] <funnyboy243> Are you  launching properly?    Oh, you are a poet.
[23:22] <funnyboy243> Why do you want  it?   When was  it?
[23:23] <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] <valeq> after update its steal off
[23:23] <funnyboy243> What was it like before  update its steal off ?
[23:23] <wad> samster34, you found the limit of my knowledge. :-/
[23:23] <funnyboy243> You are a very unique person, like me.
[23:23] <samster34> wad: virtual desktops are there as well, I can switch around them...
[23:23] <funnyboy243> Are all  wad virtual desktops  there as well you can switch around them?
[23:23] <mado> lemme try L3tops :)
[23:24] <L3tops> funnyboy243: not a comedy channel... support channel
[23:24] <funnyboy243> :-)  Are you a boy or a girl?
[23:24] <mneptok> funnyboy243: please stop the offtopic banter.
[23:24] <funnyboy243> That's an interesting rationalization.   Did you know that my brain was sucked up by Mindy's ass for several months?! Luckily, my good friend got my brain back or otherwise I'd still be crapping in teh torletz at a random school bathroom.
[23:24] <funnyboy243> What are you wearing?
[23:24] <samster34> funnyboy243: are you human?
[23:24] <ejo> where is the mute or complain control :P
[23:24] <funnyboy243> All of them?
[23:24] <funnyboy243> The  mute or complain control P?  Where is  it?
[23:24] <DRayX> Does anybody know how good the Hyper-V support in Ubuntu 12.04 is?
[23:24] <L3tops> I say no
[23:24] <c_smith> Does anyone know if the bug where transferring videos to an Ipod fails in Banshee was fixed?
[23:24] <L3tops> bot
[23:25] <samster34> can I get to the login screen with a terminal command?
[23:25] <L3tops> c_smith: this would not be the best place to ask... but to answer... no idea
[23:25] <acicula> DRayX: uhm, it exists, but iirc there was risk of it being dropped due to ms not maintaining the codebase
[23:25] <L3tops> samster34: start kde
[23:25] <L3tops> samster34: disregard
[23:25] <samster34> L3tops: :p
[23:25] <c_smith> L3tops, any clue where a better place would be?
[23:25] <DRayX> acicula: Huh, because it was actually just added in 12.04
[23:25] <L3tops> samster34: start lightdm
[23:26] <trek29> are there any usb wireless adapters that linux will find right on installation? or do they all require work to get them functioning?
[23:26] <acicula> DRayX: yes, i wasnt saying it was not there
[23:26] <L3tops> check for a #banshee channel it is an application specific q
[23:26] <mado> oh rats! L3tops ... now i got another problem ... wait though ... i just finished installing cheese

[23:26] <L3tops> I do not know to be honest c_smith
[23:26] <LutariMobile> Would you like to know?  Are you  honest c smith ?
[23:26] <aaa> hi. just upgraded to 12.04, and now i don't have a frame for the windows (the frame with the title and close button). happens in all my windows, including google chrome, and xchat

[23:27] <mado> cheese says ... no device found L3tops
[23:27] <LutariMobile> I really wish I could go outside and play with the other kids in Elementary school!    Are you serious?  Who are you talking about?
[23:27] <L3tops> sorry samster34 sudo start lightdm
[23:27] <c_smith> L3tops, I'll check for the channel like you said. :)
[23:27] <LutariMobile> There is no need to apologize.  I've never heard of them before.
[23:27] <LutariMobile> Do you like playing with  samster34 sudo start lightdm?    I am so glad you find this amusing,  14gives Jeki a cookie compliments of Jake.
[23:27] <L3tops> mado am I to understnad your cam was working before?
[23:27] <DRayX> acicula: Ok so since the kernel modules were pushed up from staging there has been talk about removing Hyper-V support?  Ugh I really don't want to use CentOS.
[23:27] <LutariMobile> When was this exactly?
[23:27] <samster34> L3tops: start: Job is already running: Lightdm
[23:27] <LutariMobile> When was this exactly?   Cough.  You really do?  What would you rather be doing?
[23:27] <funnyboy240> Yea,  L3tops start Job is  already running Lightdm.
[23:28] <samster34> lol...
[23:28] <funnyboy240> I'm glad you find this amusing.
[23:28] <mado> yes it was working before ... just a few hours ago L3tops
[23:28] <funnyboy240> Gosh!  How did you feel about that?   What's your favorite movie?
[23:28] <Draton> Hi guys, I just installed 12.04 and am unable to hear sound, was wondering if someone could help me out
[23:28] <funnyboy240> Hi there  14gives Jeki a cookie compliments of Jake.  When was this exactly?
[23:28] <acicula> DRayX: as of kernel 3.3 hyperv seems to be part of the mainline kernel code base
[23:28] <samster34> why is he back :/
[23:28] <funnyboy240> Are you free?
[23:28] <xangua> !ops | funnyboy240
[23:28] <funnyboy240> Perhaps his creative genius, perhaps there is another reason.
[23:28] <funnyboy240> Watch out! Mindy might suck up your  DRayX as of kernel 3 point 3 hyperv seems to be part of the mainline kernel code base!
[23:28] <funnyboy240> Wow, I never heard anyone say anything like that before! And I thought Mindy talked different! Wow :O .   I've been waiting for you.    What about the other ones?
[23:28] <trek29> are there any usb wireless adapters that linux will find right on installation? or do they all require work to get them functioning?
[23:28] <funnyboy240> No I don't think there are any.   Who are "they" again?
[23:29] <samster34> L3tops: any more ideas?
[23:29] <funnyboy240> Oh that  they.
[23:29] <samster34> L3tops: tried sudo restart lightdm, but that leaves me with nothing but the desktop again
[23:29] <funnyboy240> Once more?  I've been waiting for you.
[23:29] <Myrtti> funnyboy240: please start making sense

[23:35] <ejo> aaa: try changing themes (and then change back if desired)
[23:35] <mado> folks ... i've got a new issue for you -> http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/7518/flashgoescrazy.png
[23:35] <yeats> aaa: you might experiment with moving your /home/yourusername directory to /home/yourusername.old and logging in again
[23:35] <mado> this just happened when visiting the chat and viewing a lesson-page
[23:35] <Silence> how to make a launcher from the unity panel or dash run as superuser? to use a scanner i can run "sudo iscan" from a terminal but from the dash it wont run as is..
[23:36] <Aikar> Ben64: yea

[23:36] <Aikar> 12.04 finally boots up the installer, 11.10 use to blackscreen
[23:36] <funnyboy240> Can you speak any foreign languages? Like Crapanese.
[23:37] <Flynsarmy> how do i add indicators to my top panel in unity? right click does nothing
[23:37] <Ben64> Aikar: the livecd installer or the alternate
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <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] <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?
[23:40] <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
[23:41] <bigterd> i was telling them to use it. not how to use it.
[23:41] <bazhang> bigterd, wrong channel for chit chat
[23:41] <Listener> bigterd, Running Ubuntu on several production servers quite happily using the LTS releases.

[23:41] <bigterd> is it possible to upgrade an old 9.x distro one version at a time, manually, with archived repositories?
[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.

[23:42] <Tom_> WHERE does one get the code to build the "Ubuntu on Android" prototype?????  Thanks
[23:42] <bigterd> exactly. ubuntu your forced to stay updated or forced to not update. that's silly.

[23:43] <donvito> whats the minimum system requirments for ubuntu 12.04
[23:44] <Fyodorovna> cdg, you can downgrade that if available in synaptic and lock it.
[23:44] <Tom_> WHERE does one get the source to build the "Ubuntu on Android" prototype for smartphones and tablets?????  Thanks
[23:44] <synaptix|ubuntu> donvito, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#System_requirements
[23:44] <donvito> thanks
[23:44] <Fyodorovna> cdg, I assume you know what your doing here otherwise. :)
[23:45] <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 ?
[23:46] <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
[23:47] <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] <wylde> !find globalmenu
[23:48] <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] <synaptix|ubuntu> April 26th, 2012
[23:48] <synaptix|ubuntu> ok thanks Myrtti
[23:49] <Fyodorovna> Captain_Crow, 4/24 last Thursday
[23:49] <synaptix|ubuntu> 12.04 was released on April 26th, not 24th. :P
[23:51] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[23:51] <Captain_Crow> was the glitch fixed where the desktop disappeared after activating the cube?
[23:52] <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?
[23:53] <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] <Fyodorovna> s/loosing/losing
 thanks for the tip.  i looked at xda developers a little but did not see where source is for "ubuntu on android".  any idea where to look on that site?
[23:54] <Fat-Thing> what seems to be the problem when i open a new application it won't show directly but rather u'll have to right click the application on the bottom panel and chose "always on top" this seems aint the problem i got before but now i'll have to manually chose alway on top? grrrr
[23:55] <Fyodorovna> Captain_Crow, in the process of setting it up possibly youn just need a restart button use compiz fusion as a launcher on the desktop I have mine in a dock.
[23:56] <Tom_> bigterd@ : thanks for the tip.  i looked at xda developers a little but did not see where source is for "ubuntu on android".  any idea where to look on that site?

[23:57] <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.
[23:58] <cool-root> what seems to be the problem when i open a new application it won't show directly but rather u'll have to right click the application on the bottom panel and chose "always on top" this seems aint the problem i got before but now i'll have to manually chose alway on top? grrrr
[23:58] <Captain_Crow> does anyone play runescape?
[23:59] <piovisquii> my upgrade to precise just failed
