| GG111 | hokachu: are you burning it on a CD , or are you using USB ? | 01:10 |
| hokachu | usb | 01:10 |
| violinappren1 | hokachu: ok then, how did you install 11.10? | 01:10 |
| violinappren1 | hokachu: did you get to the installer? | 01:10 |

| violinappren1 | hokachu: did the usb boot and you got the graphical desktop? | 01:12 |
| GG111 | hokachu: booting up from live CD is as simple as it gets, if the live CD does not boot , then there might be an issue with the hardware, or, you did not perform the USB correctly, do you have a blank CD you can use ? | 01:12 |
| hokachu | i formatted the usb stick | 01:12 |

| NurseDad | FloridaGuy: I am in centeral florida | 01:32 |
| escott | Draton, so thats intel hda. if its a laptop its possible that the correct output registers aren't being set. basically the hardware has a bunch of generic ports, but the laptop manufacturer has some liberty as to how to connect those things up. so one laptops speakers are connected to another laptops headphone jack. there is a tool hda_analyzer which will let you fiddle with those registers | 01:32 |

| rfm | tiny, /usr/bin/VirtualBox is a shell script (actually probably a symlink to one); can't relink it. can't offer a solution since I have no idea what you're doing, but maybe you want to be working on the binaries in /usr/lib/virtualbox? | 01:35 |
| Draton | escott, how would I go about doing that? this is a desktop and a gigabyte motherboard, not sure if that's relevant | 01:36 |
| escott | Draton, one would think it would be less of an issue with a desktop board, but there are perhaps fewer people using it. if you are fairly confident it isn't muted and you see the sound being generated in the equalizer then it sounds like its just not going to the correct output port. so i would take a shot at hda_analyzer. just try different combinations | 01:37 |
| alchemyxthunder | hello, i'm running ubuntu 11.10 and am curious if anyone would be able to assist me with correcting an issue regarding VNC/remote desktop. the issue i'm having is that i can VNC the machine but the connection seems to stop responding after some random amount of time. i can terminate the VNC session but i cannot reconnect unless i restart the computer. is there something that i can tweak to fix this issue? it didn't do this until | 01:37 |

| escott | Draton, so the AUD_OUT will have radioboxes for different pins. there is also usually an AUD_MIXER hardware mixer. so the input pin on AUD_OUT will connect to AUD_MIX or some other element and output to PIN 15 or some other random pin. When you fiddle with the master volume you are changing the volume of that AUD_OUT. What you want to do is try to find the PIN that your speakers are connected to, and select it in AUD_OUT. also verify tha | 01:44 |
| escott | t the PINS aren't muted because they often have their own mute controls | 01:44 |

| deego | Another question: I don't see any recovery menus in my grub at all. | 02:23 |
| rescueme12 | I wish I didn't need flash but some site "rackspace" still use it for uploading files | 02:23 |
| tbrown | But the thing that does not make sense Google chrome comes with flash on it it kind of wered to see that it will not work and it said that it need to be upgraded or something. | 02:23 |
| deego | This line is indeed commented out for me, yet, even after update-grub, no recovery menus.#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true" | 02:23 |
| deego | I have grub-pc installed. | 02:23 |
| rescueme12 | the chrome even with its in built flash ain't working | 02:23 |
| jagginess | deego, maybe because it's commented out in the /etc/default/grub ,, you'd need to run update-grub2 after editing that file | 02:23 |
| tbrown | jagginess: Thanks for the info but I new that already:) | 02:24 |
| Datz | Hi, is there Gnome fallback or a gnome2 like desktop available for 12.04? | 02:24 |
| deego | jagginess: OH, let me go try grub2*, sorry. | 02:24 |
| escott | deego, i think you want to modify GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET | 02:24 |
| xangua | !nounity | Datz | 02:24 |
| ubottu | Datz: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 02:24 |
| Gaming4JC | rescueme12: you can also install Flash in Wine as I recall. | 02:24 |
| wylde | escott: only a minor thing but the same methods apply to 12.04 no? Just think it should reflect that is all. | 02:24 |
| Datz | thanks xangua | 02:24 |
| rescueme12 | Gaming4JC that is the only thing I haven't tried yet. | 02:25 |
| Datz | so basically "gnome-panel" replaced "gnome-fallback"? | 02:25 |
| Datz | in name, but it's the same thing? | 02:25 |
| Datz | basically.. | 02:25 |
| escott | Datz, i think its a forward port of the gtk2 panel to gtk3 but minus all the features that couldnt be forward ported | 02:26 |
| rescueme12 | I have tried flash-aid, old versions and still nothing. Flash is installed and does something as CPU goes crazy but nothing happens | 02:26 |
| Datz | escott: I see. I'll have to look more into it before making the leap. thanks. | 02:26 |
| deego | escott: I see the grub menu now. The problem is that ubuntu seems to generate no recovery entries. | 02:28 |

| todd_ | jagginess: he has given permission I think its high, he thinks not | 02:52 |
| krfkeith | but is ltsp useful for PXE boot? | 02:52 |
| wylde | !ltsp | krfkeith | 02:52 |
| ubottu | krfkeith: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 02:52 |
| niebling | OK... bye for now. | 02:52 |
| jagginess | todd_, dunno, try looking for the keyword "meter" with synaptic or apt-cache search.. | 02:52 |
| krfkeith | is it something used to connect to thin clients, or to install on thin clients? | 02:53 |
| wylde | krfkeith: yep, it's for networking booting. I use it for 2 thin client machines on my netwrok. | 02:53 |
| krfkeith | so I can use it to deploy PXE? | 02:53 |

| todd_ | jagginess: I am looking to just get an idea of total usage, but its a remote machine, he is on windows | 02:54 |
| jagginess | tohuw, maybe the mountpoint is read-only | 02:54 |
| todd_ | jagginess: meter comes back with lots of stuff to look at local traffic | 02:55 |
| jagginess | todd_, mswindows probably has its own bandwidth meter(event collector/counters etc).. you'll have to dig into that.. | 02:55 |
| jagginess | todd_, if you want to measure traffic on another machine, you'll need to be doing the measuring on a gateway machine, or simply setup something on windows to measure its own traffic | 02:56 |
| todd_ | jagginess: there is no way to look at the lan traffic? Isnt that what nc does??? | 02:57 |
| tohuw | jagginess: It wasn't. I was hinted in another channel to use `id`. This revealed I was not properly added to the group. Thank you though | 02:57 |

| fahmi | hello dr willis | 03:15 |
| viejotren | myhero: you can use unetbootin to install it in you pendrive | 03:15 |
| viejotren | unetbootin works for me several times unless with lubuntu | 03:15 |
| dr_willis | howdies | 03:15 |
| viejotren | at this time I'm looking for an alternative way, but you can use unetbootin | 03:15 |
| fahmi | any body help me? | 03:15 |
| viejotren | myhero: apt-get install unetbootin | 03:16 |
| dr_willis | pendrivelinux site has alternatives to unetbootin | 03:16 |
| myhero | viejotrem: where to find unetbootin ? i entered it in terminal n it says command not found ? | 03:16 |
| myhero | viejotren: where to find unetbootin ? i entered it in terminal n it says command not found ? | 03:16 |

I dont know how to make sure the interface is working and also not sure what program is used to console from the box to the router. Can anyone give me some direction on that? | 03:18 |
| ring0 | myhero, is your stick empty? do you know, what the device name of your stick is? | 03:18 |
| viejotren | myhero: I thinks that is not any tool with 8.04 | 03:18 |
| myhero | yea thatsy i mupgrading to 12.04 | 03:18 |
| viejotren | Calif: I think you can use ssh | 03:19 |
| myhero | ring0: its 1gb transcend usb | 03:19 |
| dr_willis | an upgrade from 8.04 to 12,04? or you mean a 'clean install of 12.04' ? | 03:19 |
| dr_willis | you can 'dd' the 12.04 iso to a usb and boot it.. | 03:19 |
| viejotren | but if you are looking for a gui it would be dificult | 03:19 |
| myhero | dr_willis: mean clean install | 03:19 |
| dr_willis | or use 'cat' | 03:19 |
| viejotren | elinks is a text-mode browser | 03:19 |
| viejotren | from it you can type the ip and then rich the interface that comes with you device | 03:20 |

| dr_willis | if you instat on using them, you stopo x via - 'sudo service lightdm' stop at the console | 03:53 |

| dr_willis | cool-root: right click on what? if its not displayed.. what are you clicking on. | 03:56 |
| dr_willis | sounds almost like the desktop root 'window' is somehow set to be the wrong layer. so the windows are appearing below it. what desktop/ubuntu versions are you using. | 03:57 |
| cool-root | the application icon at the buttom of the panel i do right click on `em and check the box stating "Always On Top" | 03:58 |
| dr_willis | as a test. you could try making a new user. see if they have the same issue. if the new user works fine. then that points to some compiz or other user level setting thats causing thep problem' | 03:59 |

| dr_willis | !autorun | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | !autostart | 04:00 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 04:00 |
| Flynsarmy | dr_willis: that doesn't help me run them as root | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | auto start item that does gksudo /path/to/script.sh perhaps | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | or have the sript use gksudo as needed | 04:01 |
| Flynsarmy | dr_willis: that'd require a password each boot. i remember a guy showed me a file in some folder that you put your script in and that works. forgot the file though :( | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | Flynsarmy: not for running ar 'root' | 04:02 |
| Flynsarmy | dr_willis: just has to have enough permissions to trigger an acpi_call | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | there is the autostart dir that runs stuff - the tools manage that dir. you still need to set things up for the script to run as root. | 04:02 |
| Flynsarmy | dr_willis: that'd work. where is that? | 04:02 |
| arfneto | /msg nickserv verify register arfneto kjwitwqapjso | 04:03 |
| dr_willis | Flynsarmy: configure the sudo ers config file to allow running the proper ommand without needing a password | 04:03 |

| dr_willis | that autorun factoid tells you. i think its .config/autorun or simthing | 04:03 |

| arfneto | but 10.04 works fine on same network | 04:24 |
| dr_willis | arfneto: one 'fix' i did ages ago was set up everyone on static ips and edited my /etccc/hostss to shhow the propoer name to ip | 04:24 |
| malkauns | yuri__, -m32 | 04:24 |
| yuri__ | malkauns Tried that. Three different times just now and still get elf-64s. :( | 04:25 |
| yuri__ | Actually, I got: -b, -m Ignored for compatibility. from make --help. | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | arfneto: i also reall seeing someone mention 'dnsmasq' as some sort of fix for the issue. (i think) but i never tried it | 04:25 |
| yuri__ | sorry if I'm being a little curt at the moment. 3 days of non-progress is difficult for me to accept. :) | 04:27 |
| arfneto | dr_willis, it should work, sure, but windows machines can see both servers but access only 10.04. And 10.04 is not from ages ago, unless we measure ages in months | 04:27 |
| violinappren1 | yaboo: did you use ssh-copy-id for the user you're trying to login as? | 04:27 |
| yaboo | violinappren1, no just copy the id_rsa.pub over and cat id_rsa.pub > authorized_keys2 | 04:27 |
| malkauns | yuri__, so you're doing gcc -m32 <args...> and still getting elf-64s? | 04:27 |
| yaboo | worked before | 04:27 |
| yuri__ | No. Make -m32. | 04:28 |
| malkauns | ah, well that wont work | 04:28 |
| malkauns | just add -m32 to the $(CC) line or whatever compiler you're using | 04:29 |
| violinappren1 | yaboo: are permissions correct on the server? http://kimmo.suominen.com/docs/ssh/#chmod | 04:29 |
| yuri__ | Ummm.... ??? | 04:29 |
| yuri__ | Is there an easy way to do that via .configure? | 04:29 |
| usr13 | Well, I installed wicd and uninstalled network-manager and that fixed it. Staying connected ok now. | 04:29 |
| malkauns | yuri__, do u see a line with $(CC) in it? | 04:29 |
| malkauns | yuri__, do u see a line with $(CFLAGS) in it? | 04:30 |
| yuri__ | Hrm. Yer making me think. Just a sec. :) | 04:30 |
| malkauns | proper way would be to add -m32 to $(CFLAGS) | 04:30 |
| yuri__ | Alright. To make this global, I could just edit my .bashrc and add CFLAGS=-m32, right? | 04:32 |
| grendal-prime | what is the name of the executable for dvd/cdcreator? | 04:32 |
| grendal-prime | like the default nautilus app...this blows | 04:32 |

| dr_willis | testing in 12.04 grendal-prime dosentg seem to be a 'directory' so that would lead me to thinking its some gconf settings | 04:37 |
| yuri__ | *compiler | 04:37 |
| grendal-prime | i found two things in the .local dir..that wre burn files.. | 04:37 |
| grendal-prime | i deleted them but they problem is still there...somehow this guy created links to the kernel as the root user..now his typical user cant remove them from teh burn cue. And, when i use sudo to get to the dir..it is gone in the nautilus all | 04:39 |

| sysdoc | Is there an upgrade path from 11.04 to 12.04? | 05:47 |
| illusion | Hello, Would anyone be available to assist me with disabling hardware (blacklist) in ubuntu 10.04 desktop? | 05:47 |
| kernelcruncher | dr_willis, isn't that going to be looking at kde apps? | 05:47 |
| gartral | fail | 05:47 |
| dr_willis | kernelcruncher: kde? what does kde have to do with it? | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | !blacklist | 05:48 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 05:48 |
| illusion | Thank you, Is there a way to blacklist a second physical hard drive on the local system? | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | illusion: why do you need to/mean by blacklisting a hard drive? | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | you mean disable auto mounting of it? | 05:49 |
| illusion | I am using the ubuntu installation for testing and do not want it to be able to write to it (or for me to accidently write to it) | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | dont mount it then. | 05:50 |
| lasers` | illusion: Shut it down. Unplug the hard drive. -- or -- Disable it in the BIOS | 05:50 |
| kernelcruncher | dr_willis, sorry, my bad | 05:50 |
| Boohbah | illusion: or mount readonly | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | read only is good. ;) | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | seems that 12.04 auto-mounts my ntfs on login to unity - not on first access.. anyone else noticed this? | 05:51 |
| illusion | alright, would there possibly be a way to prevent it from being mounted by any user? | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | mount it from fsstab with options blocking users from using it. comes to mind. | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | the ntfs-config tool has some settings also. if its ntfs/vfat | 05:52 |

| Zzarkc | Hey, I'm having some difficulty after I attempted to upgrade to 12.04. In the middle of the update, my computer crashed. Now I can not fully boot into Linux. I can boot into the recovery portion. I am intending on reinstalling from my 11.10 CD, but I was hoping to get my software packages in a list so I can easily reinstall everything. How might I do this? I do have a separate /home partition. | 05:54 |

| lasers` | !clone | Xx | 05:54 |
| ubottu | Xx: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 05:54 |
| Zzarkc | I was told to do a dpkg --get-selections, but I apparently my drive is mounted as read-only. | 05:54 |
| lasers` | Zzarkc: ^^ | 05:54 |
| grendal-prime | dr_willis, sorry i forgot to update you...the fix is to reboot the machine | 05:54 |
| grendal-prime | that clears it | 05:54 |
| dr_willis | Zzarkc: you could chroot into the system you want to clone and follow the !clone factoid | 05:54 |
| grendal-prime | im out | 05:54 |
| dr_willis | !clone | 05:54 |
| grendal-prime | i need to get this dam vlan business in the bag. | 05:55 |
| grendal-prime | PEACE OUT PEOPLE !! | 05:55 |
| grendal-prime | or...you know..back to whatever kinky stuff gets you through the night | 05:55 |
| Zzarkc | dr_willis: I'm kind of confused how to properly chroot. I looked up the man page, but I still can't figure it out. It doesn't recognize a full operating system being on the device. | 05:55 |
| grendal-prime | Zzarkc, why would you want to? | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | Zzarkc: if the broken system has broken packages also. theapt ommands may not work right to generate a list either.. | 05:56 |
| Zzarkc | dr_willis: I believe it is just a c library file that is broken. | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | i tend to keep a list of what i commonly install backed up to my ubuntu-one account. I can even make it a shell script | 05:57 |
| grendal-prime | what are you chrooting for? | 05:58 |
| Zzarkc | grendal-prime: I've read and heard multiple people mentioning chrooting into the account. | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | chek out the various chroot guides and try to fix it perhaps | 05:58 |
| grendal-prime | sorry i missed the beginning of this | 05:58 |
| Zzarkc | grendal-prime: To get a list of my installed packages, so I can easily reinstall them after installing. | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | chrooting is a neat trick. | 05:58 |
| grendal-prime | no..it blows | 05:59 |
| Zzarkc | grendal-prime: My upgrade crashed when I was going up to 12.04. It made my ubuntu unbootable. Now I'm trying to see if there's a way to save all of the applications I have installed. | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | boot live cd. mount theinstall (like to /media/theinstall) then 'chroot /media/theinstall" i think | 05:59 |
| grendal-prime | you can get a list of your packages with a simple apt command | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | grendal-prime: from the system he did NOT boot he wants the list | 05:59 |
| grendal-prime | oooo | 05:59 |
| grendal-prime | sorry | 05:59 |
| Zzarkc | I guess one of my main questions is how do I save this list so I can easily import it later? | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | now ya see why we are looking at chroot ;) | 06:00 |
| chenpoyang | Zzarkc: just backup /home/username, and reinstall the system....:) | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | ubotu has a !clone factoid with the command to make a list/file | 06:00 |
| Zzarkc | My drive is also read-only when I'm booting the recovery menu and using that shell prompt. | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | !clone | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | but the bot seems dead | 06:00 |
| grendal-prime | ya...ok | 06:00 |
| szal | !ping | 06:00 |
| ubottu | another contentless ping... sigh... | 06:00 |
| szal | dr_willis: check your PMs, perhaps the factoid doesn't exist | 06:01 |
| grendal-prime | well i know when apt is working properly you can just dump your package list to a text file..then you can read it back in on the next install you do.. | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | no msg from the bot here | 06:01 |
| lasers` | !ping | 06:01 |
| ubottu | another contentless ping... sigh... | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | it used to exist | 06:01 |
| grendal-prime | but i dont think that is your situation | 06:01 |
| Zzarkc | How do I save the text file if the drive keeps telling me it is read only. | 06:01 |
| lasers` | dr_willis: It exists. I triggered it 15 seconds before you triggered it. | 06:01 |
| rollitup | is any one using an M-audio sound card here ? | 06:01 |

| rollitup | ok @ubottu i'm checking | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | Zzarkc: email it to yourself ;) | 06:04 |
| Sico | Lasers: What u mean??? | 06:04 |
| theuns | how do i exit X in ubuntu12.04 , i would like to install nvidia driver | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | Zzarkc: or store it on ubuntu one | 06:04 |
| Zzarkc | dr_willis: No internet from this recovery console as well. | 06:04 |
| grendal-prime | does 12.04 have an opt out for the unity interface yet? | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | sico backtrack is NOT ubuntu - we dont support backtrack here | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | grendal-prime: just instggalll some othjer desktop.. | 06:05 |
| Sico | Lasers: what is wrong??? | 06:05 |
| === chenpoyang is now known as aries | ||
| lasers` | Sico: This is #ubuntu channel. Backtrack is not meant to be used as a everyday linux distro. | 06:05 |
| FishFace | theuns: Have you run the Nvidia software under Additional Drivers? | 06:05 |
| lasers` | an. | 06:05 |
| Sico | Ok thnx.. | 06:05 |
| theuns | FishFace: yes ,they are installed | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | its sort of scary the people that come in here asking about Backtrack... | 06:05 |
| sysdoc | rollitup, Your gonna want to use Envy24Control | 06:05 |
| Zzarkc | dr_willis: I legitimately only have access to my main drive with the linux kernal. I don't even have access to my original /home directory. Also, this drive is only allowing me a "Read-only file system" | 06:05 |
| === saihtam_ is now known as saihtam | ||
| FishFace | theuns: When I ran that software is was the only way I could get my dual screens to work | 06:06 |
| grendal-prime | dr_willis, so there is a way to just run the gnome desktop on 12.04? I tried the gnome shell option some time back but it totally sucked | 06:06 |
| === szal__ is now known as szal | ||
| lasers` | dr_willis: "troll is intentional, confused is ignorance" :o | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | Zzarkc: you can remount it read-write the recovery console had a option i thought or use the proper mount command | 06:06 |
| grendal-prime | half the shiznit was broke and stuff | 06:06 |
| theuns | FishFace: i have th post release stuff also installed | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | grendal-prime: gnome2 is dead. thers the fallback option for a gnome2-ish look. | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | Unity has some neat features now in 12.04 - the HUD is handy | 06:07 |
| theuns | FishFace: With ubuntu 11.04 i had the same problem and could only see the monitors when i had the nvidea drivers installed that i downloaded from there site | 06:08 |
| Ben64 | the problem with unity is its lack of options | 06:08 |
| foobArrr | grendal-prime: if you really, really want gnome2 back, you can give mate a try. but I doubt that is viable longterm solution. xfce would be another more traditional alternative. | 06:09 |
| FishFace | theuns: Yep. But this is all I know. Actualy I had the best luck with 12.04 and its running rock solid. | 06:09 |
| ederson | Oi | 06:09 |
| theuns | FishFace: what machine do you have? | 06:09 |
| dr_willis | given the amount of issues i see in here with people breaking things due to too many 'options' ;) that could be called a feature | 06:09 |
| Ben64 | dr_willis: but it makes it unusable for me :( | 06:10 |

| theuns | Ben64: why? | 06:12 |
| Ben64 | theuns: it has a very high chance of breaking things | 06:12 |

| jsh_ | Are you talking about??????? | 06:17 |
| krababbel | grendal-prime: explain please | 06:17 |
| grendal-prime | wich makes no sence to me but whatever | 06:17 |

| Zzarkc | So wait, I'm kind of confused who ubuntu organizes things. If I have a separate home directory, will that save all of my sources and program information so that if I simply reinstall the root portion of ubuntu, I should still have all of my origninal programs? | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | Zzarkc: home is for the users stuff.. not ssystem stuff | 06:18 |
| grendal-prime | you can install things that run from that dir..but probably not very efficient | 06:18 |
| violinappren | Zzarkc: it will only save your personal files and application settings | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | Zzarkc: a reinstall of the os saves the users data. but you have to reinstall the system apps and readd the users. | 06:19 |

| S_SubZero | some laptops can not only turn off the wireless card itself, but can also just turn off the antenna (so it will never show any APs) | 06:34 |
| ZzBomb | Yea, mine can do it in like 3 ways | 06:34 |
| hbrtxito | No , I dont have | 06:34 |
| S_SubZero | if you click the network icon up by the clock, does it show any APs? | 06:34 |
| ZzBomb | hbrtxito: I would check bios then, or user manual for a separate switch specifically for disabling it, something outside of os control | 06:35 |
| hbrtxito | I did not have any trouble before this version :S | 06:35 |
| hbrtxito | ok | 06:36 |
| ZzBomb | hbrtxito: Do you have another os installed w/ dualboot (windows or other linux version) that it currently works in? Or do you have an older disk that you could live boot to confirm | 06:36 |
| z3bra | Can someone help me please ? | 06:37 |
| ZzBomb | z3bra: Just ask your question. | 06:37 |
| z3bra | I'm trying to replace gnome-terminal | 06:37 |
| ZzBomb | z3bra: all at once. | 06:37 |
| hbrtxito | no , I dont have any other OS , my computer just came back from the factory repair | 06:37 |
| hbrtxito | and I just finished to install this version | 06:37 |
| z3bra | ZzBomb: I'll on next time ;) | 06:37 |
| ZzBomb | hbrtxito: ... maybe they screwed it up. Did it work w/ any other versions After factory repair? | 06:38 |
| ubuntu_ | oh.. well.. I guess as long as I'm here. I'm booting off live USB. Can I make a new live usb using the same drive? | 06:38 |
| z3bra | I'm trying to replace gnome-terminal by urxvt. How can I do that please ? | 06:38 |
| ZzBomb | ubuntu_: You can theoretically try... But it might break before the new disk can be written | 06:39 |
| hbrtxito | Like I said , Just my laptop just came today , So the disc was new , they replace it | 06:39 |
| ubuntu_ | Dang | 06:39 |
| ZzBomb | hbrtxito: Yea.. Check bios and such. They may have disabled wireless somehow. | 06:39 |
| ubuntu_ | My HDD took a crap, and this 12.04 beta live usb is all I have, and I want to update it to 12.04 final lol | 06:39 |
| ubuntu_ | Or maybe even do a real install to it | 06:39 |
| hbrtxito | OK , I will try | 06:39 |
| ubuntu_ | Since it's 16 gb | 06:39 |
| hbrtxito | OK , I will try Thanks | 06:40 |
| ZzBomb | ubuntu_ just install beta, then upgrade. Will be least painful | 06:40 |

| Murdercakes | Ok, so I'm new to Ubuntu, and the Software Manager mentions upgrading to 12.04. I read somewhere that 12.04 defaults to a 64 bit system, but my netbook is only 32 bit. How do I make sure I've got the right one upgrading? I don't want my netbook all messed up because things got confused. | 06:42 |
| ubuntu_ | So I want to install to my flash drive but since I'm booted into ubuntu using the flash drive, it's giving me errors | 06:42 |
| aditya_ | u can still use 32 bit | 06:43 |
| ZzBomb | Murdercakes: You cant upgrade from 32 to 64... so if you already have 32.. it will stay that way automatically | 06:43 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: well, can you resize your USB? | 06:43 |
| ubuntu_ | I take it not all of the live session is loaded in RAM? | 06:43 |

| mistro | ive installed ndiswrapper, downloaded the windows driver, and run ndiswrapper -i (drivername).inf for my wireless usb driver. The type of device im using is a Zyxel G220 V3. I've rebooted, etc... and it doesn't look like the driver is working. I can't connect using the default wireless tool. Any ideas? | 06:48 |
| bazhang | mistro, what about using ndisgtk | 06:48 |
| aries | bazhang: upgrade ubuntu distribution to the latest version cost much time, and i am got used to the current version of linux distribution. | 06:49 |
| bazhang | aries, what version you have now | 06:49 |
| mistro | bazhang: I haven't tried that yet. My wireless usb is designed for windows. Ive gotten it to work on 10.04, but not on 12.04. Will ndisgtk deal with windows drivers? | 06:50 |
| Guest36337 | z3bra: I had urxvt and gnome-terminal installed. That command displayed gnome-terminal as the only choice. Hmm. | 06:50 |
| ubuntu_ | Stanley00, looks like I can't resize it without unmounting, which I think isn't working | 06:50 |
| * ubuntu_ shrug | 06:50 | |
| Ohto | can I stress cpu and gpu with live cd_ | 06:50 |
| Ohto | ? | 06:50 |
| aries | bazhang: exactly, i am using fedora 14... | 06:50 |
| bazhang | mistro, ndis is always the very last step, I'd try to get the drivers via additional drivers, or wireless-backports first | 06:50 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: haha, then just wait for your new hdd, I think ;)) | 06:50 |
| ubuntu_ | Stanley00, was afraid of that. can't afford one hahaha | 06:51 |
| aries | bazhang: but the ubuntu channel has more members.... | 06:51 |
| ZzBomb | Ohto: cpu.. most likely.. gpu... less likely due to proprietary drivers not being present most likely | 06:51 |
| bazhang | aries, why are you asking about upgrading fedora here | 06:51 |
| tknz | Hey guys. I'm having trouble setting up SSH on my ubuntu server. When I try ssh localhost.. I get "read from socket failed: connection reset by peer" | 06:51 |
| ubuntu_ | I keep having to boot to the live usb, then enable all the repos, then update, then install xchat and whatever else i need every time i start up rofl | 06:51 |
| bazhang | aries, its not supported, and that makes no sense, it's like looking for lost keys under the street lamp | 06:51 |
| bazhang | aries, #fedora | 06:52 |
| z3bra | Guest36337: In my case, urxvt is listed, but (I ALWAYS want more :P) I want urxvtc (in order tu use daemon mode) | 06:52 |
| Ohto | Zzarkc: if I do have the drivers, how about then? | 06:52 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: how about reformat your hdd? I hear that it will mark the bad sector, and it won't use the bad sector | 06:52 |
| ubuntu_ | I dunno, I just tried that and it kept breaking on some ioctl line | 06:52 |
| mistro | bazhang: let me give that a shot real quick. bear with me for a few minutes if you can | 06:52 |
| aries | bazhang: i mean upgrade linux distribution, just like upgrade ubuntu10.04 to ubuntu12.04 | 06:52 |
| ubuntu_ | I'm assuming a hardware command | 06:53 |
| ubuntu_ | So I dunno maybe the logic board on the drive is bad /shrug | 06:53 |
| bazhang | aries, stop asking about fedora here. | 06:53 |
| aries | bazhang: ok, sorry, i have used ubuntu for 2 year...^^ | 06:53 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: did you try badblocks and mkfs? | 06:53 |
| ubuntu_ | never heard of badblocks | 06:53 |
| ubuntu_ | and no to the 2nd | 06:53 |
| ubuntu_ | I was just using the partitioner in ubiquity and in Disk Utility | 06:54 |
| nomihc | How can I build a same kernel as the current running one ? | 06:54 |
| shani0610 | dpkg has pending installation of ttf mscorefonts installer, I want to get rid of the installation, how to do so? | 06:54 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: well, basblocks will mark your bad sector, and mkfs can use that info while formatting your hdd | 06:54 |
| Stanley00 | *badblocks* | 06:55 |
| ubuntu_ | try "aptitude hold ttf-mscorefonts-installer" <-- my best guess | 06:55 |
| ubuntu_ | ah ok | 06:55 |
| ubuntu_ | i guess i'm booted on live usb; i can try it now | 06:55 |
| recognosco | hi, my nslookup is not working, interestingly enough. take a look at this: http://pastebin.com/CanpbjdS | 06:55 |
| recognosco | any idea? hints? weird... | 06:55 |
| ubuntu_ | does disk-utility have a commandline name | 06:56 |
| nomihc | How can I build a same kernel as the current running one ? | 06:56 |
| Guest36337 | shani0610: !aptfix might be the solution. | 06:56 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: you mean without the GUI? | 06:56 |
| ubuntu_ | I just mean if I want to run it from terminal instead of looking it up in the Dash | 06:57 |
| ubuntu_ | Because I'm silly like that | 06:57 |
| shani0610 | !aptfix | 06:57 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 06:57 |
| mistro | bazhang: ndisgtk installation has yielded: "Failed to load GTK bindings. Please check your Gnome installation." :[ | 06:57 |

| bazhang | mistro, what about wireless backports, which is one of the two *other* things I suggested before ndisgtk | 06:58 |
| CruX| | what does {a} mean ? | 06:58 |
| recognosco | http://pastebin.com/CanpbjdS << my problem. any idea what is going on? i also added 8.8.8.8 as the seconf dns server. still no luck. | 06:59 |
| ubuntu_ | Stanley00, Can I use the badblocks option if I want to format using btrfs? | 06:59 |
| fidel_ | hi - got a 10.04 LTs install here (without x) which i would like to upgrade to the current LTS aka 12.04. Is there a way to upgrade directly from 10.04 to 12.04 from cli? | 06:59 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: it's called palimpsest, a weird name huh? haha | 06:59 |
| ubuntu_ | rofl no manpage | 07:00 |
| ubuntu_ | what does it even do | 07:00 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: I think so, badblocks just list bad sector to a file, and you can use it if you format tool support, | 07:00 |
| fidel_ | i assume one way would be replacing apt sources and run the upgrade cmd directly - but i'm not sure if thatsthe supposed way from lts to lts | 07:00 |
| ubuntu_ | the manpage for badblocks said it suggested not running badblocks directly | 07:00 |
| z3bra | Why is customizing ubuntu a pain in the neck ? :( | 07:01 |
| ubuntu_ | Since I would have to get the blocksize exactly right or something | 07:01 |
| Guest36337 | shani0610: ANy updates? | 07:01 |
| s0u][ight | hello, i have booted the computer from my usb stick, it's root is mounted at /cdrom, how can I change the ownership of /cdrom to the default ubuntu user? | 07:01 |
| shani0610 | um nope it doesnt hold it | 07:01 |
| Guest36337 | shani0610: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer" ? | 07:01 |
| z3bra | s0u][ight: chown -R user:group /cdrom ? | 07:01 |
| recognosco | http://paste.ubuntu.com/961820/ -- this is the problem i am facing. any idea why? my router is working fine from other machines.... | 07:01 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: hmm, then run as it suggest, use the -c of mkfs instead of badblocks | 07:02 |
| ubuntu_ | Stanley00, only it looks like mkfs.btrfs doesn't have a -c option | 07:02 |
| s0u][ight | z3bra: what would that be exactly for the live environment? | 07:02 |
| * alankila notes that programs like badblocks are obsolete with modern harddisks which transparently remap bad sectors | 07:02 | |
| z3bra | s0u][ight: Oh... dunno :S | 07:02 |
| ubuntu_ | oh apparently btrfs isn't stable enough for real use yet, n/m | 07:02 |
| ubuntu_ | according to the manpage anyway | 07:02 |
| alankila | so once you let your harddisk discover where the bad blocks are, it will remap them next time you write on top of them | 07:02 |
| z3bra | s0u][ight: Why not leave the owner alone & just change permissions ? | 07:03 |
| ubuntu_ | alankila, this hard drive is probably ehh 3-4 yrs old since the computer is 3-4 yrs old | 07:03 |
| ubuntu_ | it may not be that smart | 07:03 |
| s0u][ight | i'll find out, another issue i have faced is: when i add wine installed applications to the launcher, they disappear after a reboot | 07:03 |
| alankila | ubuntu_: sorry, this tech is over decade old by this point | 07:03 |
| ubuntu_ | oh neat | 07:03 |
| alankila | it's called smart and it landed in a splash, I think, before 2000 | 07:03 |
| s0u][ight | z3bra: it's easier if i could change ownership | 07:04 |
| z3bra | s0u][ight: LiveCD "reset" at each restart | 07:04 |
| z3bra | Changes are not saved | 07:04 |
| ubuntu_ | I dunno. I tried reinstalling ubuntu just a couple hours ago, if it could remap sectors, installation should have succeeded | 07:04 |
| ubuntu_ | But I was greeted with a"We're sorry. The installer has crashed" message | 07:04 |
| s0u][ight | z3bra: i know, i'm talking about the installed version, faced it yesterday, | 07:04 |
| alankila | ubuntu_: you should probably install smartmontools and start smartd. You can configure it to check your disks using the harddisk's built-in diagnostics every sunday or something such | 07:04 |
| ubuntu_ | ah cool | 07:04 |
| shani0610 | got error: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable | 07:05 |
| alankila | this is a kind of scrub where the drive goes through the platter surface and scans it for defects and it usually gets early warning about nonreadable sectors and remaps them before bad things actually happen to that data | 07:05 |
| recognosco | which file should i edit to add nameservers? /etc/resolv or /etc/resolv.conf? | 07:05 |
| ubuntu_ | heh "FATAL ERROR: cannot open disk drive!" | 07:05 |
| z3bra | s0u][ight: I'm affraid I can't help you with that :/ I don't know how to set it :/ | 07:05 |
| ubuntu_ | think I'll just chuck the drive in the garbage :P | 07:06 |
| s0u][ight | ok thanks (found a workaround for the /cdrom thing) | 07:06 |
| ubuntu_ | was it remount? | 07:06 |
| zykes- | how hard can it be to get ubuntu to enslave 2 damned nics | 07:06 |
| ubuntu_ | because I keep wanting to write to my usb drive but it's mounted read-only right now | 07:06 |
| Slartibart | Suppose I have had /var on a separate partition, and now I'd like to reinstall ubuntu. If I configure the install program to use the partition the same way, would the old files be deleted then? Or overwritten when necessary perhaps? | 07:07 |
| s0u][ight | ubuntu_: try "sudo mount -o remount,rw /cdrom" | 07:07 |
| ubuntu_ | oh yea I know, I was asking s0u][ight | 07:07 |
| ubuntu_ | if that's what his solution was | 07:07 |
| alexheu | Hello | 07:08 |
| recognosco | can anyone help with networking? | 07:08 |
| szal_ | can you be more specific? | 07:08 |
| ubuntu_ | What determines default permissions when a file or folder is created | 07:08 |
| s0u][ight | ubuntu_: when you want to use a filesystem, you have to "mount" it to the current folder/file hierarchy, a remount means you unmount a previously mounted filesystem to mount it again (probably with other options like from read-only to readwritable) | 07:09 |
| alexheu | describe your networking problem | 07:09 |
| s0u][ight | ubuntu_: user that creates it (group he is in) | 07:09 |
| Stanley00 | recognosco: hmm, on my system, there's only /etc/resolv.conf | 07:09 |
| recognosco | szal_, alexheu http://paste.ubuntu.com/961820/ | 07:09 |
| ubuntu_ | I test-touched a file, and it was automatically set +x | 07:09 |
| === szal_ is now known as szal | ||
| ubuntu_ | Whereas normally when I make files, that bit isn't automatically set | 07:10 |
| alankila | ubuntu_: by the way, read-only mounting is what some filesystems do when they detect internal inconsistencies. You do filesystem check on them. If the harddisk surface is somehow damaged, you tend to get actual i/o errors | 07:10 |
| ubuntu_ | no s0u][ight I was asking if your workaround that you found was a remount | 07:10 |
| ubuntu_ | Because that was going to be my guess | 07:10 |

| bazhang | !lamp | rootnoobtux | 07:14 |
| ubottu | rootnoobtux: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 07:14 |
| bazhang | rootnoobtux, of course yes, check the guide above | 07:14 |

| mistro | bazhang: im trying to install linux-backports-modules, but unsuccessful using the packages available from ubuntuupdates,org | 07:14 |

| Slartibart | possible configuration file inconsistencies? | 07:32 |

| Slartibart | Does the ubuntu installer remove previous files from /var? (reinstall) | 07:34 |

| Slartibart | kartook: First four words in topic ;)? | 07:34 |
| kartook | perfect | 07:34 |
| ubuntu_ | Ooookay, NOW I have a real question: Sometimes when I close a terminal window that I've launched background jobs on, it'll close ALL those jobs. I thought if I background launched them, they always stayed open (as if evading a ^C) | 07:35 |
| kartook | i like to remove the bottom bar . i installed docky .. i use classic on ubntu 12.04 | 07:35 |
| kartook | how do i remove | 07:35 |
| ubuntu_ | However, it seems to be okay if I ^D out of the terminal window, rather than just closing it | 07:35 |
| ubuntu_ | So my question, I guess, is what determines if closing a terminal window will also close background jobs I've launched from it | 07:36 |
| ubuntu_ | +? | 07:36 |
| z3bra | try it =) | 07:36 |
| z3bra | It will tell you there are bkng jobs running | 07:36 |
| ubuntu_ | Uh, if I close the terminal window then everything I launched closes with it | 07:37 |
| ubuntu_ | Trying it only closes my programs and aggravates me | 07:37 |
| ubuntu_ | lol | 07:37 |
| kartook | how do i remove bottom menu bar on my ubuntu 12.04 classic | 07:38 |
| kartook | any one :) may be this is very chilly or challaging one ? | 07:38 |
| z3bra | ubuntu_: you can ue disown to detach from terminals | 07:38 |

| Slartibart | kartook: Right click on it, with alt or super+alt? | 07:39 |
| ubuntu_ | Does a ^D automatically do that to all jobs or something? | 07:39 |
| ubuntu_ | Because all the jobs seem to stay open if I get out of the terminal that way | 07:39 |
| z3bra | ubuntu_: no | 07:39 |
| kartook | I love you Slartibart | 07:39 |
| bazhang | kartook, what do you mean by classic | 07:39 |

The first is the boot splash screen, I know that it works because when i shut down, it shows the boot splash screen but when i boot up it's just a black screen. Everything else works but the normal unity. When i tried to log in to it, it just gave me a black screen so i got rid of the Nvidia drivers and that worked, So now i could use the normal unity 3d | 07:47 |
| michaela | but its so laggy now and crashes that now im forced to use the ubuntu 2d can anyone help i wold really appreciate it. Thanks | 07:47 |
| ubuntu_ | What happened to the unity pane in ccsm? | 07:48 |

| roastie | hi,hi | 07:52 |
| Shape | foobArrr: After the system boots, before you enter your password, look to the right of the username and there should be a gear icon. Click on that and select which DE you want to load. After that it would remember it and it will use the last one that was used automatically. | 07:52 |
| z3bra | I think this folder ever exist to $PATH | 07:52 |
| roastie | does the dvd contain the advanced installer? | 07:52 |
| ubuntu_ | Is "desktop environment" analogous to "window manager"? | 07:52 |
| barnabas02 | or click on the gear icon, and open the drivers panel. select the next driver, and reboot. | 07:53 |

| roastie | does the dvd contain the advanced installer? | 07:54 |
| dr_willis | advanced? theres the text based then the gui installer.. | 07:54 |
| ubuntu_ | advanced installed is on the alternate CD isn't it? | 07:54 |
| michaela | has anyone seen my ubuntu forum post | 07:54 |
| dr_willis | dvd main differance is it has morelanguages ithink | 07:54 |
| roastie | i mean the text based as on alternate cd, is this one also on the dvd along the graphical one? | 07:54 |
| z3bra | ubuntu_: WM only manage windows (WOOOOW), but DE contains also a systray, a dockbar, some default app, is ever configured and so on | 07:55 |
| ubuntu_ | So like, gnome, KDE, xfce, lxde aren't desktop environments? | 07:56 |
| z3bra | of course they are ! | 07:56 |

| foobArrr | Shape: that's not what i meant. but nevermind, already found out. thanks anyway. | 07:57 |
| z3bra | ubuntu_: a 'sudo apt-get install KDE' will install a WM, a dockbar, etc... | 07:58 |
| z3bra | ubuntu_: while 'sudo apt-get install openbox' will ONLY install openbox (a WM) | 07:58 |
| ubuntu_ | wait, what's the difference, then, between installing KDE and kubuntu-desktop then | 07:59 |
| z3bra | And if you want a dock bar, you will have to install it by yourself, and configure it to works with your WM | 07:59 |

| z3bra | :/ | 08:15 |
| Stanley00 | z3bra: why not? | 08:16 |
| z3bra | Because if you set it, your shortcut in "system settings > keyboard > shortcuts > launchers > launch a term" will not be set to the same | 08:18 |

| Stanley00 | PeoplesAdvocate: hmm, I just read it some where on webup8 but oracle java 7? | 09:22 |
| fusk | myhero, no idea, i installed 12.04 beta2, it froze, so i installed 11.10 which also froze, then 12.04 final was out and i installed that and it also freezes. All the installations were clean installs. | 09:23 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | @Stanley00 I have that installed at the moment. But PyCharm requires Java 6 | 09:23 |
| Stanley00 | PeoplesAdvocate: well then, I cant help you which that :( | 09:24 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | @bazhang: I have and I have no problem installing it manually but I will get annoying trying to update every now and then. Would like it done through apt. | 09:24 |
| myhero_ | fusk: one thing is the amount of ram...i also noticed that if i keep many processes running which filled up the ram then it froze but when i run lil/less processes n keep ram empty for when needed then system ran fine for hours n also did wake up smoothly without freez after sleep... | 09:24 |
| acicula | PeoplesAdvocate: i would guess you either have to grab a tgz from oracles java site, or find an older packaged version, likely for previous ubuntu releases and hope its compatible still | 09:25 |
| bazhang | PeoplesAdvocate, well thats not an ubuntu issue, if you cannot use the openjdk then Oracle is the place to get it | 09:25 |
| gaelfx | you could probably pay oracle to set up a repo for you :D though the price won't be fair | 09:26 |
| fusk | myhero_, don't think i get that, mine can boot up, be put to sleep, wake & freeze. | 09:26 |
| myhero_ | which command to use to format usb from terminal ? what about overwrite ? someone suggested mkfs - what about it ? | 09:26 |
| slikts | I have a problem with installing ia32-libs-multiarch:i386: http://paste.ubuntu.com/961959/ | 09:26 |

| slikts | does anyone know how to resolve it? | 09:26 |

| PeoplesAdvocate | @bazhang: Why do java developers hate the openjdk. What is wrong with it! | 09:27 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | just wondering | 09:27 |
| slikts | PeoplesAdvocate: it's supposedly slower | 09:27 |
| zvacet | PeoplesAdvocate: read http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/index-137561.html and after you install it try in synaptic to lock package if you don't want to upgrade it | 09:27 |

| fusk | myhero_, Don't know. the questions that i've asked here starts with "is it a known" but no one asnwerd the "known" part, | 09:28 |

| fusk | gaelfx, do you get anything out of those lines ? All i get is that ubuntu recognises the hardware model. | 09:41 |
| gaelfx | myhero: in my experience, freezing when waking from sleep usually means you don't have enough swap | 09:41 |
| myhero | bazhang: i have a usb with 11.10 live in it so i wanted to format and install 12.04 to it all from terminal.... | 09:42 |

| myhero | also what about arios centos and mintos ? how r they ? | 10:21 |
| gaelfx | myhero: they're just different desktop environments, the base of the OS is the same throughout | 10:21 |
| myhero | what about fedora mandriva and opensuse ? | 10:21 |
| qEssence | Does anyone knows how to use gnome-shell in a xdrp remote desktop from Windows? It automattically uses lightdm without asking. | 10:21 |
| myhero | i wanted u all being so much familier with all these to refer a specific something like zvacet did lubuntu.... | 10:22 |
| gaelfx | myhero: those are different OSes, but you can install all of them on the same computer if you want | 10:22 |

| gribouille | hi | 10:23 |
| gribouille | why was the package libdigest-sha1-perl removed from precise? | 10:23 |
| myhero | i can try some of these but all these can be a pain....keeping in mind that m a learning penguin | 10:23 |
| qEssence | Does anyone knows how to use gnome-shell in a xdrp remote desktop from Windows? It automattically uses lightdm without asking. | 10:24 |
| gaelfx | gribouille: it's been a very naughty package, so it has to take a timeout | 10:24 |

| mohd | Jacta: the error clearly state that the ubuntu version 12.04 is not suppoerted .. click on details for more info , also which virtualbox version you're using. http://screenshotuploader.com/s/01/eTVT04dL | 10:25 |
| zvacet | myhero: just copy/paste command and install lubuntu-desktop stick with it for some time and if you don't like it install something else :) | 10:26 |
| gribouille | MonkeyDust, I'm using oneiric right now and I want to install precise, so I need the functionnality of libdigest-sha1-perl | 10:26 |
| myhero | zvacet: ok | 10:26 |

| gaelfx | gribouille: it's possible that that package's functionality has been replaced by a package of a different name | 10:28 |

| MonkeyDust | libnotify .exe is windows, better ask in ##windows | 10:39 |
| Shape | gaelfx: Oh, what I meant was to check if the disk burned correctly. Yknow, in case you forgot to click the "Verify image after burning" button. I checked the MD5 on the ubuntu page and it doesn't tell me much. | 10:40 |
| libnotify | yes i am not using a windows machine that is why i asked in here | 10:40 |
| mi3 | libnotify, if you want to execute .exe files, use wine, if its a game, you can check its status in the wine database | 10:40 |
| Igor | привет | 10:40 |
| MonkeyDust | libnotify linux does not use .exe files | 10:40 |
| mi3 | libnotify, the wine database actually contains both software and games | 10:40 |

| mohd | JActa_: Good , then check the 12.04 image md5 hash using md5sum , you can find the hashs on the same page yo downloaded the is | 10:43 |

| fidel_ | elspuddy: only yourself can answer that question fully - as we dont know your situation/skill-level,setup etc | 11:57 |
| bluesmurf | L3onoV: that's ok, if it freezes again, you can try killing the X server, probably not good enough and still harsh, but less than pulling the plug ;) | 11:57 |
| fidel_ | elspuddy: most likely you should do backup your files - run the update and with some small luck end without issues- if that helps | 11:57 |

| rabbi1 | is there any need for a backup during 11.10 to 12.04 and 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade ? | 12:33 |

| Lil | lol | 12:34 |
| jrib | rabbi1: no, only if you care about your files | 12:34 |
| PsynoKhi0 | Lil: 1 more year of support to go :P | 12:34 |

| Chingy | is there a way of installing an unbuntu from the usb? | 12:35 |
| Lil | I got a popup yesterday saying its no longer supported? When the upgrade dialog came up. | 12:35 |

| Chingy | thanks l3tops im there | 12:37 |
| jrib | rabbi1: you should have backups if you care about your data. You'll realize this one day (too late) | 12:37 |
| rabbi1 | better choice is to leave 10.04 as it is and then upgrade 11.10 only :D | 12:37 |

| fidel_ | !ask > pengw | 12:38 |
| ubottu | pengw, please see my private message | 12:38 |
| keantoken | sorry. | 12:38 |
| Lil | PsynoKhi0; thanks for the info, i wasn't totally sure. don't know why i dont wanna upgrade, just not too big on the new interface | 12:38 |
| keantoken | jrib: I never installed wine in any strange way. | 12:38 |
| jrib | keantoken: you had to have | 12:39 |
| pengw | i want to run a app from terminal for example geany and i do not want that the terminal do not haling for that app | 12:39 |
| pengw | how can i do that | 12:39 |
| jrib | keantoken: packages from ubuntu will never touch /usr/local/ | 12:39 |
| keantoken | jrib: what other ways could I have used? | 12:39 |
| jrib | keantoken: you could have compiled it | 12:39 |
| keantoken | Maybe I did, to get the pulseaudio patch. | 12:39 |
| jrib | keantoken: maybe | 12:39 |
| pengw | ok i found it by myself geany& will achieve that | 12:40 |

| s0102469 | how can i make nautilus hide files starting with '~$' | 12:43 |
| T|ASK | Hi, I had a problem with upgrading my system. Now I can't upgrade because Ubuntu thinks it's already 12.04, but it's still old software installed | 12:43 |
| T|ASK | How can I revert these changes? | 12:43 |
| jrib | keantoken: I'm not sure what you mean. You simply have to remove your manual installation of wine. | 12:43 |
| fidel_ | T|ASK: what is the output of: cat /etc/lsb-release ? | 12:44 |
| fidel_ | does it reports 12.04? | 12:44 |
| fidel_ | did you ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade afterwards | 12:44 |
| fidel_ | still not up2date | 12:45 |
| jrib | keantoken: this means you should read the documentation for wine that you used to install it and hope that it has uninstall instructions. If not you can try, make uninstall (assuming you used make install to install it) and if that doesn't work then you must manually delete the files you installed | 12:45 |
| keantoken | jrib: can you please tell me how to do that? | 12:45 |

| Sidewinder | !distupgrade | T|ASK | 12:47 |
| ubottu | T|ASK: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 12:47 |
| T|ASK | !upgrade | 12:47 |

| Sidewinder | T|ASK, Hope that helps. :-) | 12:47 |
| captine | ThePendulum, when you say make them smaller, are you referring to font sizes etc? that is what i am trying to change | 12:47 |
| mietek | I have an issue with keyboard shortcuts in 12.04. First, the Keyboard Shortcuts control panel has entries for "Switch windows of an application", "Switch windows directly", "Switch windows of an app directly" which appear to be non-functional, in addition to being confusingly named. | 12:48 |
| ThePendulum | captine: If you have no trouble reading a small font, you could try that indeed | 12:48 |
| Sidewinder | T|ASK, Kind of a misnomer, I know. | 12:49 |
| mietek | The actual shortcut for switching app windows appears to be hardcoded to keycode 49 | 12:49 |
| mietek | And it doesn't seem to be exposed in the UI | 12:49 |
| mietek | Please tell me I'm wrong. | 12:49 |
| z3bra | Hi all ! does someone know the ppa to install gnome-shell-extensions on 12.04 please ? | 12:51 |
| mietek | "Hitting this combo when you're already focused on an application will automatically switch only between the windows for that application. The ` key on US layouts, but Unity will use whichever key is above your Tab key." | 12:51 |

| mohd | z3bra: Does one really need a ppa for that ! | 12:52 |
| ThePendulum | captine: Make sure you utilize the available workspaces | 12:52 |
| joseph_ | Who was helping me the other day with my nvidia card? I got it to the shell prompt with internet enabled. | 12:52 |

| Vuth | which way should I install Ubuntu? with the windows installer or the ISO and partition way? | 12:54 |
| captine | ThePendulum, i am still getting used to the workspaces concept. still used to windows 7 1 workspace... | 12:54 |
| keantoken | jrib: thank you for your incredible patience. I found it after much suspense and deleted the subordinate beast. | 12:54 |
| jrib | keantoken: great, glad you figured it out :) | 12:55 |
| ThePendulum | captine: It's indeed a matter of getting used to. They are a great solution for me at least. | 12:55 |
| keantoken | jrib: now to shred the directory from my life completely. | 12:55 |
| ThePendulum | captine: Regular stuff on the first one, web dev stuff on the second one, graphical stuff on the 3th one, and media on the 4th one | 12:55 |
| mohd | z3bra: i was just asking .. i use https://extensions.gnome.org/ | 12:55 |
| a_b0y | i spent a whole lot more time troubling shooting linux in the past 2 months to get things working, then i would spend on a windows O/S over the course of a year | 12:56 |
| joseph_ | can anybody help me with some commands on installing nvidia drivers? The machine won't boot, it's just a blank screen. kubuntu 12.04 | 12:56 |
| a_b0y | and things are still not working properly | 12:56 |
| joseph_ | it's in recovery mode now at the root shell prompt | 12:56 |

| edwinkcw | halo, I wonder if there is any good mysql brower other than phpmyadmin and mysql workbench | 12:57 |
| mohd | a_b0y: state your issue if its releated to Ubuntu , and you are running GNU/Linux .. Linux is just the kernel :) | 12:57 |

| neyder | hi there, how can I print the ubuntu desktop help ? some like ocnvert pages from yelp | 12:58 |

| captine | any ideas | 12:58 |

| jhuyett | instructions just point to "please refer to ... " the grub wiki. talking about insmod ... do I chown into the new install and run these commands ? | 13:02 |
| mohd | z3bra: i was just doing the exact same thing :) | 13:02 |
| Vuth | what is DD | 13:03 |
| fidel_ | Vuth: dd is a command | 13:03 |
| Sidewinder | edwinkcw, I use 10.04 as well. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Seriously, you might want to wait for 12. | 13:03 |

| z3bra | mohd: seems to works ... | 13:04 |
| Sidewinder | T|ASK, That's weird. There is a cli command but I for get what the exact syntax is. You could always back-up your /home, and then fresh install 12.04. | 13:04 |
| z3bra | Will look for install tonight | 13:04 |
| edwinkcw | fidel_: ok, thanks for your recommendation | 13:05 |

| bluesmurf | T|ASK: also, command line for release upgrade is do-release-upgrade, haven't tried it, though - I did a full backup and reinstall | 13:13 |
| T|ASK | bluesmurf: no, sorry had no effect :( | 13:13 |
| alankila | CAZ_au: I think downloading the package list is the way it finds out if there are updates | 13:14 |
| L3tops | footvilla: well... that's a bit different... I don't know if you can... | 13:14 |
| L3tops | T|ASK: I am still not seeing a problem listed, just that you interrupted a dist-upgrade | 13:14 |
| T|ASK | bluesmurf: ok, I try that now | 13:14 |
| L3tops | T|ASK: what isn't working? | 13:14 |
| a_b0y | okay, here is a weird problem that someone smart may be able to answer, ubuntu won't load from hdd unless the livecd is connected to the computer, then it loads directly to the o/s on the hdd and not the livecd | 13:15 |
| bluesmurf | T|Ask: AFAIK, dpkg --configure -a tries to "configure" any "half-installed" packages, so "no effect" may just mean you stopped the download before any installation was attempted | 13:15 |
| bluesmurf | T|AsK: no way to know for sure, though | 13:15 |

| bluesmurf | T|Ask: you can try to do an apt-get update, to refresh package list of your _current_ release, and see if any problems pop up; if so, attempt apt-get check | 13:16 |
| T|ASK | L3tops: so I can't upgrade because apt seams to think I already have all packes of 12.04... but don't because I couldn't even download anything via 3G | 13:17 |

| Sidewinder | footvilla, This might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/jmburgess/Backup | 13:22 |
| bluesmurf | T|Ask: the update manager, synaptic, aptitude, even apt-get are all (different) front ends to the package system. /etc/apt/sources.list as mentioned by L3tops shows where your packages are coming from, and can help see if they point to "precise" (ie 12.04) or a previous release. If at all in doubt, stop the update and back up your data before proceeding | 13:22 |
| |Pasha | ThinkT510: it was just an example :) not true | 13:22 |

| alankila | What especially soured me with ati hardware was that fglrx support for my hardware was dropped when the open source driver was "good enough".

| jarco | Hello, When I try to install the new ubuntu (both from usb and cd) it keeps stalling at the ubuntu logo with the loading dots. I tried installing it with live and alternate cd. Lubuntu and debian have the same problem. | 14:28 |
| htorque | Pici: like "what are group x's permissions - what can you do when you are in group x" (not that i'm sure that there is such information available). | 14:28 |
| alankila | jarco: if possible, give nosplash on the kernel command line, see if it helps | 14:28 |
| alankila | I have had to boot my servers and some other systems without splash because the splash crashes the kernel or gpu or something. | 14:29 |
| jarco | alankila: you mean in grub? | 14:29 |
| tsimpson | htorque: that doesn't exist, permissions are applied to each file/directory, rather than to users/groups | 14:29 |
| alankila | jarco: or CD loader | 14:29 |
| alankila | for instance you might be able to type "linux nosplash" to the ISOLinux loader | 14:30 |
| alankila | if the kernel image name known by the ISOLinux is "linux" | 14:30 |
| jarco | ok i ll try | 14:30 |
| alankila | the splash screen annoys me a lot because it's especially useless on server where you want to see everything, and the splash has actually crashed hardware I have owned | 14:30 |
| alankila | so I think it's incredibly stupid to put that stuff even on server images | 14:30 |
| htorque | tsimpson: yeah right, i wasn't referring to those permissions though. | 14:31 |
| PatrickC | s1: what do you think? | 14:31 |
| === karlyuanjian_ is now known as stupid | ||
| htorque | i'd just like to know what it means for the user to be, e.g., in the "sambashare" group. | 14:31 |
| htorque | or are groups really nothing more than an attribute of a user? | 14:32 |
| tsimpson | htorque: other than iterating over every file/directory on the system, you can't get that information | 14:32 |
| tsimpson | htorque: groups aren't attributes of users, but users are attributes of groups | 14:33 |
| jarco | alankila: well at least i got an installer now. But that is probably because I used expert mode this time ... | 14:34 |

| theGrg | Hi, can someone tell me what Ubuntu's "safely remove" feature actually does, and how I can replicate it manually? Because it actually powers off my external USB HDD (LED light goes off, and disks stop spinning). But if I "eject" or "umount", it simply unmounts and stays powered on. I tried "sdparm --comand=stop", that seems to momentarily turn it off for a second and then it automatically powers on again. | 15:01 |
| s1 | fg: have you tried on off the kernel boot options ! | 15:01 |
| MadsRC | How do I give a user permanent rights to /var/www ? | 15:01 |
| s1 | on/s/one | 15:01 |
| twig11 | s1: happens on other accounts exactly the same as far as I can tell. It doesn't happen on the liveusb. And unfortunately I don't know where to get a copy-and-pasteable version of that error message. What log would I find it in? | 15:02 |
| mengu | Pessimist: no errors & nothing | 15:02 |
| fg | s1: No. How? | 15:02 |
| s1 | fg: are you on the Live-CD now .. | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | theGrg: unmounts the partition, then ejects the disk | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | theGrg: e.g.: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; sudo eject /dev/sdb | 15:04 |

| MadsRC | Wouldn't be too wise to give a user root permissions? | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | theGrg: i'd ask in the arch channel then | 15:05 |
| theGrg | No one seems to know | 15:05 |

I copied one file to the "Home" location and one to the "Pics" location within Ubuntu. Where is that file located when viewing the USB drive within windows? Thanks!! - Josh | 15:37 |

| twig11 | ActionParsnip: no, it just quit working after update. I'll check ccsm and keyboard settings. | 16:02 |
| rollitup | so does that mean i don't have a choice to run compiz in that case ActionParsnip | 16:02 |
| ActionParsnip | neattoast: I don't use compiz, so have no problems with it, nor need it. So why are you telling me this? | 16:02 |

| Kruptein | ThinkT510: I hoped right click and clicking the name would work but it didn't :/ I also tried it | 16:07 |

| JayWalker_ | s1, alright. it's annoying when stuff like this happens, especially considering i had 0 problems with 10.04 on the same machine | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | JayWalker_: some video chips dislike the nouveau driver and (i believe) the display timings were moved in to the kernel. So you need extra options sometimes to get a display | 16:10 |
| Jerry_ | Hi -- in 12.04 update manager, shows changelog in Details window but it waits for me to hit "q" to get it to continue. How can I change this behavior? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | JayWalker_: it also probably means you will get a black screen instead of plymouth but its harmless and the OS will boot to the desktop | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerry_: Why do you have to press q? | 16:11 |
| Jerry_ | ActionParsnip: because otherwise update manager does not continue. It goes so far then stops. If I open the details window I can see that it has displayed the changelog but is stopped at the end | 16:12 |
| twig11 | s1: I think that option was there in 11.10. That's the first I remember seeing it. I was surprised this time, however, that it offered to go from 11.04 to 12.04 when Update Manager was still offering an upgrade to 11.10. | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerry_: yes but how do you know to press Q? What is onscreen? | 16:12 |
| Jerry_ | ActionParsnip: I figured it was using "less" or something so I tried hitting "q" which made it continue | 16:13 |
| twig11 | s1: maybe it's a different process, I don't know. | 16:13 |

| Jerry_ | ActionParsnip: After a while I opened the details to see what might be there. that's when I saw the changelog and thought to enter "q", which worked | 16:14 |
| Kruptein | because he knows that you need to press q to end the less command | 16:14 |

| ghabit | lion42, I have TV with wifi and dlna client. I want to run dlna server on my pc and look tv without wire. | 16:43 |

| mado | hello ... i probably haven't found the right "how to" yet ... i was looking for a way to save my emails and move them to Mozilla Thunderbird | 16:43 |
| ghabit | lion42, thank you! | 16:43 |
| lion42 | No problem. | 16:43 |
| mado | or maybe you know another nice free email-program that runs on Ubuntu Linux and MS Windows? | 16:43 |
| neattoast | mado: thunderbird | 16:43 |
| s1 | echo083: have you tryied Ekiga ! | 16:44 |
| echo083 | s1, hummm not yet let's try it :) | 16:44 |
| fifthecho | ghabit: You could also try XBMC. | 16:44 |
| mado | neattoast, so you say i should stick with my decision of Thunderbird? | 16:44 |
| mado | can you help me then moving my emails from Evolution to Thunderbird neattoast ? | 16:44 |
| wilee-nilee | mado, description is way to big | 16:44 |
| neattoast | mado: I personally would just use gmail :), but sure why not! | 16:45 |

| quick- | ActionParsnip: ya its there thanks , i ll try connecting now :) | 16:45 |
| mado | wilee-nilee, pardon me? | 16:45 |
| neattoast | mado: try exporting from evolution, and importing into thunderbird. | 16:45 |
| neattoast | or gmail :) | 16:45 |
| mado | exporting doesn't work :) | 16:45 |

| rootnoobtux | and one last thing | 16:46 |
| ghabit | lion42, cannot find package skifta for ubuntu | 16:46 |
| s1 | echo083: i haven't had a luck with Ekiga , there is also jitsi . | 16:46 |
| ghabit | fifthecho, looks like xbmc is player, not dlna server? | 16:46 |
| lion42 | ghabit, I'm not sure if it is listed in the software center. You can find it at http://www.skifta.com/download | 16:46 |
| rootnoobtux | if i go to tty mode how can i go back to desktop mode? | 16:46 |
| s1 | fg: which release are you trying to install .. | 16:46 |
| fifthecho | ghabit: It's been a while since I played with it, but IIRC XBMC is both. | 16:47 |
| echo083 | s1, jitsi works fine but i don't like the interface ... i know i'm hard to be satisfied :( | 16:47 |

| UICTamale | to get the open-source version | 16:50 |
| UICTamale | theadmin: technically, the tracking google does when you run chrome is very similar to adware. | 16:50 |

| lion42 | teratoma, no. AFAIK, with the most recent CD you will still need to use the alternate installer to do the whole-disk encrypted LVM. You can encrypt your home drive using the regular installer, however. | 16:57 |

| xrogplx | @<Sidewinder> i hope so :( | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest8178: yes, it comes with the md5sum command | 17:32 |
| zolin_mx | I was using Unity and my ubuntu hanged | 17:33 |
| zolin_mx | I had to reboot | 17:33 |
| nintet | so SELinux is not installed by defualt in Ubuntu? | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | nintet, not sure the exact definition of an emulator or yours that is but virtualbox runs in centos 6 | 17:33 |
| Guest8178 | ActionParsnip, only cli | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | nintet: no it's optional | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest8178: md5sum is CLI.... | 17:33 |
| nintet | well the reason i would want to use an emulator is for sound software | 17:33 |
| nintet | so you can see the problem | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nintet: there are lots of native sound apps for Ubuntu | 17:34 |

| Kruptein | ActionParsnip: only 4 eb D: damn | 17:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Kruptein: yes, as 32bit is 'advised', you may find users have more RAM, this needs accommodating | 17:38 |
| Kruptein | LjL nvm was being stupid for a moment :p | 17:38 |
| ssta | Kruptein: wait until 128 bit...it will be impossible to run out of address space | 17:39 |

| Shogoot | ActionParsnip, lion42. i got ubuntu on my machine, i just dont want to mess up the partitions and such changing the distro, but i want a less flashy desktop. For me its visual noise. Ill see if i can make my ubuntu downgrade the desktop to lubuntu :) | 17:49 |
| xrogplx | @<sl> no its only one os | 17:49 |
| qEssence | Or Anyone can recommend an Remote desktop server wich allows me to select the WM? | 17:49 |
| ThePendulum | ssta: I hear the 'eyecandy' argument a lot. I'm telling you, my personal performance goes downhill if a DE looks remarkably unattractive | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Shogoot: its not a new distro, you are just installing an additional desktop | 17:49 |
| L3tops | flow: edit/preferences colors and fonts are all changable. | 17:49 |
| s1 | xrogplx: okay . | 17:49 |
| lion42 | Shogoot, I don't know about the new version of ubuntu, but with the old one you could just add LXDE by searching for it in the software center. | 17:50 |
| Shogoot | ActionParsnip, gotcha | 17:50 |
| lion42 | (under lubuntu I believe) | 17:50 |
| ssta | ThePendulum: fair enough. Mine goes down when I'm distracted by bling ... different strokes | 17:50 |
| garou | L3tops: I will try there ^^. Thx. | 17:50 |
| ThePendulum | Shogoot, ActionParsnip: Installing Xubuntu (Xfce) or Lubuntu (Lxde) will solve a few issues that will occur when installing Xfce or Lxde directly. You don't need to mess with partitions, their installers will take care of that just like the Ubuntu installer (which is basically the same one besides the slides). | 17:51 |
| tensorpudding | qEssence, try logging in using xdmcp | 17:51 |
| ssta | ThePendulum: and it's a matter of debate what constitutes "attractive" :) | 17:51 |

| xrogplx | sorry i didn't get any file :( | 17:54 |
| JMS32 | I saw a lot of networks, but can't connect to them.. What to do? | 17:55 |
| Dr_willis | tensorpudding, normally enable it in the *dm configs - but i recall that gdm in the 11.x release did not have the feature. not sure about lightdm | 17:55 |
| ThePendulum | Shogoot: The window manager usually is part of the desktop enviroment, afaik | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | xrogplx: so if you run: file /etc/modprobe.d/disable-iwlwifi-n.conf it says it's missing? | 17:55 |
| tensorpudding | i know that xdmcp is still supported in debian, since that's what i'm using as my server | 17:56 |
| Guest8178 | I need a check sum utility for ubuntu something with a front end | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | JMS32: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list use a pastebin to host | 17:56 |
| tensorpudding | i'd be most disappointed if they removed that functionality from gdm 3 | 17:56 |
| Dr_willis | tensorpudding, its still a feature of X. but the gdm3 i recall did not have the feature. | 17:56 |
| tensorpudding | what about lightdm | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tensorpudding: what do you need to do on the remote system? | 17:56 |
| Dr_willis | tensorpudding, or for some reason i twas turned off. | 17:56 |
| Dr_willis | tensorpudding, i have no idea on lightdm | 17:56 |
| tensorpudding | i'm asking on qEssence's behalf | 17:56 |
| Shogoot | Im so ready to strippubuntu down. Im gonnatry it when i get homw | 17:56 |
| xrogplx | <ActionParsnip> (No such file or directory) | 17:56 |
| Dr_willis | tensorpudding, not sure about the new gnome-shell's version of gdm either | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | xrogplx: then the file wasn't made. Try: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/disable-iwlwifi-n.conf and add the line: options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 save the new file, close gedit and reboot | 17:57 |
| qEssence | tensorpudding: you got more attention in five minutes than I in the whole day :P | 17:57 |
| tensorpudding | i totally don't use it very often though, it's more convenient to do administration on the shell | 17:58 |
| Shogoot | I wonder what community is the most active. XFce or Lxde? | 17:58 |
| Dr_willis | i really dont need xdmcp these days - i just use ssh/x forwarding | 17:58 |
| L3tops | flow: ahh... you are probably opening it with gksudo (or should be anyway instead of sudo)... so your root profile is different than your user profile... should be able to make the same changes in the one you open from termina (again, use gksudo). | 17:58 |
| qEssence | Im trying to login from Windows to Ubuntu remote desktop, i can do it with xrdp, but, this logins me automatically into Unity WM, and i need to use gnome-shell. | 17:58 |
| tensorpudding | http://askubuntu.com/questions/66431/how-do-i-configure-lightdm-to-work-with-xdmcp | 17:58 |
| tensorpudding | there | 17:58 |
| tensorpudding | it's possible with lightdm apparently | 17:58 |
| Dr_willis | qEssence, did you try changeing your .dmrc file? | 17:59 |
| flow | hi, i have a little problem with gedit , i added teh terminal at the buttom but now the font color in the terminal is white so its hard to read on the gray background, does anyone know how to change that? i've already tried edit preferences colors and fonts it only changes the editor but not the terminal at the bottom | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: what do you want to do on the remote system once connected? | 17:59 |
| qEssence | Dr_willis: I changed it from "ubuntu" to "gnome" Whit no luck. | 17:59 |
| zamba | i have a problem with my ubuntu server.. the / is mounted write protected and i'm not able to write anything to it | 17:59 |
| zamba | # mount -o remount / | 17:59 |
| ssta | qEssence: what starts is defined by the startwm.sh script in /etc/xrdp. By default I think it just calls the standard system Xsession. You can configure it to whatever you want though | 17:59 |
| L3tops | flow if you want to change the colors of the terminal, you can do so as well. | 17:59 |
| zamba | mount: cannot remount block device /dev/md0 read-write, is write-protected | 17:59 |
| zamba | what do i do? | 17:59 |
| Dr_willis | qEssence, i also recall a tweak at the webupd8 site or askubuntu.com about changeing the default desktop system wide (for everyone) to gnome | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | zamba: boot to live CD and fsck the partition is a good move | 18:00 |
| qEssence | ActionParsnip: Im trying to get a Remote Desktop in ubuntu, from Win7 | 18:00 |
| Jonah79_ | Unity is a fine desktop | 18:00 |
| L3tops | ActionParsnip: can he fsck a raid? | 18:00 |
| zamba | ActionParsnip: well, it's a remote system, so it's not something i can do for the moment | 18:00 |
| Jonah79_ | I'm really used to it now :) | 18:00 |
| Dr_willis | qEssence, on a local lan? or over the internet? | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: yes, but to then do what on the remote system? | 18:00 |
| flow | then im doing something wrong it doesnt work | 18:00 |
| ssta | Jonah79_: wfm isn't the only way :) | 18:00 |

| ActionParsnip | zamba: smarthands request then :) | 18:00 |
| xrogplx | <ActionParsnip> when i restart my pc it say you are offline . | 18:00 |
| Jonah79_ | So many great desktops for ~Linux now | 18:00 |
| xrogplx | network disconect | 18:01 |
| flow | and how do i use gksudo? | 18:01 |
| zamba | ActionParsnip: huh? | 18:01 |
| flow | never heard before | 18:01 |
| qEssence | ActionParsnip: Its Just a matter of preferences, i can do the same on unity. We just prefer gnome-shell for doing it. | 18:01 |
| Dr_willis | flow, gksudo progrmname | 18:01 |
| L3tops | flow: gksudo gedit file | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | JMS32: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see networks? | 18:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Jonah79_, you might try #ubuntu-oftopic for comments. :) | 18:01 |
| flow | hmm ok | 18:01 |
| qEssence | ssta: I've readed some info regarding that, but could not find a way to change it. Do you know where can i find some docs? | 18:01 |
| wilee-nilee | #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:01 |
| Jonah79_ | thanks wilee-nilee | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: you aren't answering the question. Lets say you get connected. What are you going to do on the remote system exactly? | 18:01 |
| L3tops | !gksudo | flow | 18:02 |
| ubottu | flow: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 18:02 |
| wilee-nilee | Jonah79_, no problem that is a interesting place lol. | 18:02 |
| ssta | qEssence: not that I know of, there might be some somewhere though, ask google | 18:02 |
| qEssence | ActionParsnip: Im sorry. Just act like im in front of the physical terminal. | 18:02 |
| qEssence | ssta: Thanks. Itryed, no luck at all. | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: yes but to do waht? updates? | 18:02 |
| xrogplx | <ActionParsnip> when i sudo iwlist scan i get : wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : network is down | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | xrogplx: do you dual boot the system? | 18:03 |
| savr | ubuntu has been running my fans on full blast | 18:03 |
| savr | cpu load is very low | 18:03 |
| xrogplx | <ActionParsnip> Nope it's only One OS = Ubuntu 12.04 in my pc (previously i use 11.10 ) | 18:03 |
| savr | and core temps are all below 40c | 18:03 |
| JMS32 | ActionParsnip: yes... I saw one... But it looks strange. Ubuntu applet can see a lot of networks | 18:03 |
| flow | hmm but the terminal in the buttomline of gedit is still grey with white fonts^^ | 18:03 |
| qEssence | ActionParsnip: Erhm.. no, maybe im wrong with something, Just tryng to get Ubuntu acts like a Virtual remote server for some user sessions. | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | xrogplx: do you have a shortcut key to enable / disable wifi? | 18:04 |
| savr | I can't run fancontrold for some reason on this laptop | 18:04 |
| savr | how do I make the fans to shut up | 18:04 |
| L3tops | flow: again, change it there, and when you close it, it should retain the changes for next session | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: but why do they need the full desktop? What are you doing on the desktop exactly? | 18:04 |
| qEssence | ActionParsnip: I'm sorry, maybe the problem is that english its not my native, so i cant completly understand you. | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | savr: what make and model system? | 18:04 |
| xrogplx | <ActionParsnip> Yes i do have shortcut key and i checked that also | 18:04 |
| zamba | ActionParsnip: what's smarthands? | 18:05 |

| savr | ActionParsnip, dell laptitude 5450 | 18:05 |
| zamba | well, i'm running fsck on a mounted file system now.. no worries so far :) | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | zamba: where you get an engineer to do a remote task for you, worked too long in data centres here ;) | 18:05 |
| JMS32 | ActionParsnip: heh. no. no networks now in iwlist scan | 18:05 |
| wylde | JMS32: just curious, do any of the networks/access points you've tried to connect to belong to you? | 18:05 |
| Gup | any idea on wifi/networking problems started after kernel update shown here: http://pastebin.com/698GSFEN | 18:05 |
| flow | still the same -.- | 18:05 |
| savr | sorry ActionParsnip | 18:05 |
| xrogplx | <ActionParsnip> previously in my lenovo ubuntu 11.10 i use : sudo service network-manager stop sudo rmmod acer_wmi sudo modprobe acer_wmi | 18:06 |
| JMS32 | wylde: yes, of course | 18:06 |
| qEssence | ActionParsnip: The goal is to have A monitor on Windows7 with a session oppened into the ubuntu machine, with remote desktop, so i can do whatever i can ( Except killing X and such) From Windows 7, using the remote desktop. | 18:06 |
| zamba | ActionParsnip: well, there's no engineer available.. just 50+ year old non-tech savvy lusers :) | 18:06 |

| savr | ActionParsnip, latitude e5400 | 18:06 |
| wylde | JMS32: alrighty, just asking :) | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: yes but why do you want to see the remote desktop, what are you going to do on the remote system? | 18:06 |
| flow | the editor color changes but not the color or font color of the terminal plugin | 18:06 |
| xrogplx | <ActionParsnip> then my wifi worked but not now in 12.04 | 18:06 |
| JMS32 | wylde: 2 networks is mine) I'm using one to write this mm essages from notebook) | 18:06 |

| L3tops | flow, I am not exactly sure what you are saying... this works on my end. Can you take a screenshot please? | 18:08 |
| qEssence | ActionParsnip: Argh :P Imagine you are working as usual infront of your ubuntu machine. Well, my goal is to achieve the same, but in a fullscreen remote desktop in Win7. Doing whatever i need to, from edit files, compile, or surf the web xD | 18:08 |
| JMS32 | ActionParsnip: what to do? :(( | 18:08 |
| xrogplx | <ActionParsnip> i think i have to put this in download :( ok thanks , do you have email id so i may contact you later? | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: fine but what apps will you run? | 18:09 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as myhero | ||
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: you can setup a file share on the system via samba or even sftp and access the files. You can compile via SSH in terminal | 18:09 |
| qEssence | ActionParsnip: Everything, except 3D rendering. | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | qEssence, local lan? or over the internet? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | qEssence: you can launch the browser in the SSH session with X forwarding (install and run xming in Windows) and the browser will run on the remote system but display on the Windows system | 18:10 |
| qEssence | Dr_willis: Local lan. | 18:10 |
| qEssence | Dr_willis: Ocasionally over inet, but just for minimal issues. | 18:10 |
| Dr_willis | qEssence, freenx or vnc are alternatives to the windows desktop remote stuff. ssh and xming are also worth learning about. | 18:11 |

| aombk | how do i disable booting in gui? | 18:12 |
| goddard | Use Kubuntu | 18:12 |

| Raff | i was trying to put 2 monitors but now that i'm using just one, everything is duplicated in my bars | 18:13 |
| jrib | aombk: i.e. is there a specific reason? Or do you just want to always boot without gdm starting? | 18:13 |
| zolin_mx | wylde: no, I have ubuntu on the physical machine and I have vmware installed to do windows work | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | savr: also check #62 | 18:13 |
| zolin_mx | wylde: I suspect about it because I was on th VM when display freeze | 18:14 |
| savr | ActionParsnip, I don't have /proc/i8k | 18:14 |

| jrib | aombk: so do you want to debug or you just want to boot to text mode all the time? | 18:15 |
| zolin_mx | wylde: but X was freeze | 18:15 |
| aombk | jrib yes, all the time | 18:15 |
| wylde | zolin_mx: ok hmmm.... ok. So x.org is crashing with vmare by the sound. I'm just trying to decide what package you should file the bug about. | 18:15 |
| jrib | !text | aombk | 18:15 |
| ubottu | aombk: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 18:15 |

| phillip | Dr_willis im not sure how do I find out? | 18:23 |
| Tinti | kesavan: try to check the dmesg if you get any error. also check if your cd still /dev/sdb or /dev/cdrom it may change during updates | 18:23 |
| Dr_willis | philip, check output of the lspci command | 18:23 |
| aombk | jrib, i dont know. how can i check what is starting? lightdm is installed, gdm is not | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | philip: run: lsb_release -sc; lspci | grep -i vga what is output? | 18:23 |

| phillip | Correct | 18:24 |
| aombk | jrib, can i uninstall lightdm? | 18:24 |

| kesavan | how to check if your cd still /dev/sdb or /dev/cdrom? | 18:26 |
| jrib | aombk: but you can log into xfce from lightdm | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: sure you can | 18:26 |
| Tinti | kesavan: try a manual mount mount /dev/cdrom /mnt | 18:26 |
| jrib | ActionParsnip: ? | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: surely it will just add an xfce session to lightdm and be accessible...? | 18:27 |
| Siimon | I can't mount my usb key... Not Authorized. Can you help me ? | 18:27 |
| aombk | jrib, ok i will reboot now to check again with text. and i will be back | 18:27 |
| jrib | ActionParsnip: right, I said he can :) | 18:27 |

| kesavan | '/dev/sr0' is not showing up when I am running 'mount' | 18:39 |
| DexterF | ...dont properly talk * to each other*. i suspect that lpt/usb adapter a bit | 18:39 |
| myhero | DexterF: any way to catch the problem to the core..... | 18:39 |
| DexterF | myhero: "selectivity". try to narrow down who is causing the problem. I'd go for "install a lpt pci card" instead of going usb and try that, but usually one doesnt have lpt cards around... | 18:40 |
| jrib | ktchk: ah, it's specific in CMakeLists.txt. You should contact the author to see if that specific version of libboost-python is needed (1.40) or if you can use the version available in 12.04 | 18:40 |
| jrib | s/specific/specified | 18:40 |
| DexterF | oh great vlc and smplayer are horribly broken after the 11.10 upgrade. | 18:40 |

| kesavan | '/dev/sr0' is not showing up when I am running 'mount' | 18:42 |
| DexterF | myhero: like I said: you need to knwo whats causing it. the usb/lpt thing, the printer, the driver. tried running lpr on a terminal? | 18:43 |
| DexterF | myhero: checked the cups log files? | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | kesavan, try a /dev/cdrom ? | 18:43 |
| Tinti | kesaban: ... strange ... , try what Dr_willis said please. | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | kesavan, ive seen cd's show up as sr0 or a sdX - but /dev/cdrom should be a link to them | 18:44 |
| naftilos76 | hi can i install latest evolution in ubuntu 10.10? | 18:44 |
| myhero | DexterF: not on terminal....u guide...i'll go through... | 18:44 |

| ezeedub | gnome3 is not working in 12.04. I have a radeon HD 6770. I first tried the fglrx proprietary driver, and then deactivated it. No luck either way. What should I try now? | 18:45 |
| naftilos76 | 10.10 is fine i do not want latest distros everything have been f**** up after 10.10 | 18:45 |
| aombk | jrib, can i prevent it from changing resolution during boot in text mode? | 18:45 |
| dlight | All, I'm having an issue running Compiz on a dual Screen Xorg setup. (Three monitors, two nvidia cards, two screens.) The config was working perfectly in 11.10, but 12.04 has blown it up... Some additional details are in the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11898845 Any one have any ideas for me to try? | 18:45 |
| oCean | naftilos76: 10.10 is eol, and because of that offtopic here. Also, control your language, obfuscated swearing is not allowed either | 18:46 |
| kesavan | but I didnt see and cdrom or sr0 when i ran just 'mount' | 18:46 |
| wylde | !10.10 naftilos76 | 18:46 |
| kesavan | is there any other command I need to run? | 18:46 |
| khaktoos | kesavan, ask Justin Bieber about it | 18:46 |
| DexterF | myhero: that "unable to send data to printer" sound like the printer does not send the "ready" signal. either it's broken or the usb-lpt thing is or it does not work properly. I'd go and see if could get anoter usb/lpt converter from a different brand and check if that's better | 18:46 |
| Tinti | kesavan: but do you have /dev/cdrom ? or /dev/dvdrom or /dev/dvdrw ... ? | 18:46 |
| naftilos76 | oCean: i insist in 10.10 | 18:47 |
| oCean | naftilos76: fine, then you can not ask for support here | 18:47 |
| aombk | how can i prevent ubuntu from changing resolution during boot in text mode? | 18:48 |
| naftilos76 | says who? | 18:48 |
| kesavan | yes. I suppose..when I run 'sudo lshw -c disk' it shows * cdrom | 18:48 |
| oCean | naftilos76: I do. Or read the /topic | 18:48 |
| Dr_willis | aombk, disable the framebuffer i belive | 18:48 |

| ActionParsnip | pouncer: what desktop are you using now? | 18:54 |
| mgaunard | I launch it | 18:54 |
| DexterF | how do i select qt4 themes without kde4? | 18:54 |
| pouncer | the stock unity | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ezeedub: unity is a shell for Gnome, it replaces gnome-panel | 18:54 |
| kesavan | do you need some more details? | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | pouncer: then you have gnome installed already | 18:54 |
| mgaunard | it seems the graphical glitches in gnome-panel vary with the window manager used | 18:54 |
| michaela | i cant get my hardware to work properly on ubuntu 12.04 | 18:54 |

What gives? | 18:55 |
| michaela | its my graphics card | 18:55 |
| _nedR | jrib , thanks for reply.. i know i can upgrade from update manager.. but i have already an image downloaded.. can i upgrade by mounting that image (remember.. i can't burn it and boot to it since my dvd drive doesn't work) | 18:56 |

| ThinkT510 | !notunity | pouncer | 18:56 |
| ubottu | pouncer: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 18:56 |

| Sonic132 | It's another thing I've been wanting to do. But have little luck. | 19:41 |
| alankila | Sonic132: android phones can usually format their own sd cards | 19:41 |
| `Korvin | Is there anyway to change what shows up in the top bar in 12.04? | 19:41 |
| alankila | Sonic132: but a good guess is that you just do mkfs.vfat <devicenode> | 19:41 |
| Sonic132 | alankila: That is true. But I mean with sd-ext partitions and whatnot to make Android run smoother and less crashes. | 19:42 |
| aaabbcc | wilee-nilee, OK i have formated as ext4 using gparted | 19:42 |
| schnuffle | martinex: i've at least 25GB emails >20K and with a locally installed imap server it works fine for me. Just a purpose, I think there may be a better solution i don't know as I don't use evolutgion | 19:42 |
| wilee-nilee | aaabbcc, now run sudo update-grub and see if windows is gone | 19:42 |
| Sonic132 | alankila: What would that command do exactly? | 19:42 |
| schnuffle | s/purpose/tip/ | 19:42 |
| warpino | hi there | 19:42 |
| alankila | oh. Well, the capability to use those sd-ext thingys is rather specialized, you likely have to have a rooted phone. It's up to your particular android version and its instructions how I guess | 19:42 |
| Rexter | How do you go about changing the boot animation on 12.04? | 19:43 |
| alankila | although a good guess is again to make a partition on sdcard and format it with ext2, 3 or 4. | 19:43 |
| Konstantinos | ActionParsnip: thank you for your advices :). It seems that some nvidia issues remain. | 19:43 |
| warpino | still trying to download 12.04 amd64+mac iso for my macbook air, but the link doesn't work | 19:43 |
| warpino | any ideas? | 19:43 |
| Sonic132 | alankila: I have a rooted phone. Any idea on the sizes of the ext3 or ext4 partition and if I would need a swap partition? | 19:43 |
| alankila | Sonic132: mkfs.vfat will construct a vfat filesystem on the device node (which must be prepartitioned). | 19:44 |
| Rexter | warpino; can you use a torrent? | 19:44 |
| warpino | Rexter: yes, I can | 19:44 |

| alankila | Sonic132: no, android phones do not swap so probably not that at least. Or I hope not that at least. Sizes are variable, I'm not sure what that partition is going to be used for, /data ? if so, you might want 1 or 2 GB depending on how much app space you think you need | 19:44 |
| Sonic132 | alankila: I don't really know what a vfat filesystem is. Except that fat is usually an sd card/flash drive format. | 19:44 |
| warpino | Rexter: actually that iso does not appear on ubuntu.com either. How could I check md5 even if I manage to download it? | 19:45 |
| rfrittmann | I have recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on three laptops, with Unity, but the GIMP does not run on any of them now. Any ideas? | 19:45 |
| Sonic132 | alankila: Well in that case I could just format the entire card as ext3 or ext4. | 19:45 |
| schnuffle | aaabbcc: have you set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in your /etc/default/grub? | 19:45 |
| wilee-nilee | aaabbcc, from ubuntu 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 | 19:45 |
| alankila | Sonic132: android is probably going to be very confused about the sdcard in that case. Not sure what will happen. | 19:46 |
| LjL | Sonic132: i think the actual thing that gets seen as an "SD card" (which is needed for some things) should really be FAT | 19:46 |

| H474r1 | is ubuntu 64bit too problematic compatibility-wise, or is it worth it for replacing win7-64bit or is should I stick with 32bit version? | 19:56 |
| debrisrat | which programs are recovery my files on flash miniSD card ?? | 19:56 |
| sae | ishmandoo: I would do 30 for root, and 30 for home - HDD for data storage (as in videos, music, etc. | 19:56 |
| aragorn5 | H474r1, it depends what you're looking for.... | 19:56 |

| efe | hi all, can i install the proper driver for ati x1600 in ubuntu 12.04. i am not able to play Heroes of Newerth. it says warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite K2 - Fatal Error: ARB_vertex_buffer_object not available. | 19:56 |
| sae | ishmandoo: how much RAM do you have? | 19:56 |
| ishmandoo | 8gb | 19:57 |
| ishmandoo | sae: 8gb | 19:57 |
| Rexter | warpino; I don't think you need a special version, just burn, and boot. | 19:57 |
| tristan3199us | what could have happend to my applets?? i tried going into settings and turning the power applet off and back on.. but it didnt do anything.. what should i do??? | 19:57 |
| ishmandoo | sae: I was thinking of just putting my whole /home on the HDD and everything else on SSD | 19:57 |
| warpino | Rexter: you mean I can use the normal version? (no +mac) | 19:57 |
| Rexter | I can't get the boot splash animation to work, What's up? | 19:57 |
| sae | ishmandoo: ok , then I would suggest 8 gb of swap space, but 4 gb may already be enough | 19:57 |

| wilee-nilee | debrisrat, you trying to save files from the card or to it? | 19:58 |

| debrisrat | wilee-nilee, sorry i must recovery my files photos and doccuments etc. in my mini SD card | 19:59 |
| wilee-nilee | debrisrat, the card is formatted I would think and can be opened from home, copy and paste to another storage | 19:59 |
| ishmandoo | sae: no idea how many apps. How does this sound? HDD has /home with all remaining space, SSD has 8gb for swap and the rest divided among / and /boot | 19:59 |
| aragorn5 | H474r1, the main problem I had with Ubuntu was graphic driver related crashes. I don't know if 64bit is less stable. | 19:59 |
| debrisrat | wilee-nilee, yes i trying recovery on formatted card | 20:00 |
| efe | hi all, can i install the proper driver for ati x1600 in ubuntu 12.04. i am not able to play Heroes of Newerth. it says warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite K2 - Fatal Error: ARB_vertex_buffer_object not available. | 20:00 |

| wilee-nilee | debrisrat, ah you formatted and and want to recover if this is correct try testdisk | 20:00 |
| wilee-nilee | !testdisk | 20:00 |
| ishmandoo | sae: thanks! how much do you think /boot needs? | 20:00 |

| debrisrat | ok wilee-nilee but can i recovery my formatted data ? | 20:01 |
| ishmandoo | sae: and also, does it matter their positions in the drives or if they are primary or logical partitions? | 20:01 |
| tristan3199us | gnome-volume-control-applet: command not found | 20:01 |
| Murdercakes | noob question - I just upgraded to 12.04, and my sidebar used to only appear on mouseover. Now it's up all the time. I tried to change it in Appearance, and it'll make it collapse like it used to, but it won't come back up on mouseover. It shows the dropped shadow like it's trying to, but it won't pop up. Any suggestions? | 20:02 |
| wilee-nilee | debrisrat, never used it so not the best at helping in its use, designed for recovery though of this type. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 20:02 |
| oscarpaats | Hi I run ubuntu 12.04 on dell laptop. Since the latest updates, when folding my laptop, my linux no longer stands by but keeps running instead. How to fix this | 20:02 |
| oscarpaats | ? | 20:02 |
| debrisrat | thank you so much wilee-nilee | 20:02 |
| sae | ishmandoo: the positions and whether they are primary or logical doesn't matter. that is the nice thing about linux | 20:02 |
| Heebie | Hi. Running on 12.04LTS, and trying to get dual-monitors working with Nouveau. Has anyone had any luck with this? I don't see anything in a search. | 20:03 |
| debrisrat | thank you very much wilee-nilee | 20:03 |
| sae | ishmandoo: my boot takes about 80 MB | 20:03 |
| wilee-nilee | debrisrat, no problem hope this gets you the stuff back. | 20:03 |
| wilee-nilee | your | 20:03 |
| Heebie | The nvidia "blob" drivers seem to crash repeatedly. :/ | 20:03 |
| debrisrat | thanks :) | 20:03 |
| tristan3199us | mohd: gnome-volume-control-applet: command not found i also tried apt-get install gnome-volume-control-applet and its unable to locate package | 20:03 |
| ishmandoo | sae: do I need a separate partition for /boot? | 20:03 |
| sae | ishmandoo: from my experience it is not needed. | 20:04 |
| Heebie | You shouldn't need a separate partition for /boot, but it's a good idea if you're trying to build a high-security system with all encrypted filesystems. (then /boot remains unencrypted, but isn't written to once the machine is booted, and all the "real" stuff can happen on encrypted filesyste.s) | 20:04 |
| ishmandoo | sae: I already have windows boot partition on the SSD, do you think that matters? | 20:05 |
| sae | ishmandoo: nope | 20:05 |
| sae | ishmandoo: Are you planning on resizing the windows partition? | 20:05 |
| sae | ishmandoo: Great hint from Heebie | 20:06 |
| ishmandoo | sae: no, leaving it. This is a fresh install so I made the windows the size I want | 20:06 |
| ishmandoo | sae: and you think grub will be smart enough to figure this all out? | 20:06 |
| * Heebie wonders aloud, "Shouldn't the Windows size you want be a negative number?" | 20:06 | |
| Heebie | ishmandoo: It's always easy enough to edit the grub configuration later to add another OS if it doesn't. | 20:07 |
| CJKay | Seems to be the latest Nvidia drivers are causing the problem... | 20:07 |
| sae | ishmandoo: great. Grub will figure it out. Do you have any kind of windows recovery or system reserved partition on the SDD? | 20:07 |
| wilee-nilee | ishmandoo, are you using encryption on the windows setup, the bootpartition generaly kis needed for that a preformat of the main ntfs wil install with no boot partition for windows in the future if you want. | 20:07 |
| oscarpaats | I run ubuntu 12.04. When I fold my dell laptop, it does't go on "Stand by" but keeps running instead. how to fix this? | 20:07 |
| CJKay | IronHide can't detect the device at all | 20:07 |
| wilee-nilee | s/kis/is | 20:08 |
| ishmandoo | sae: no, those partitions are gone | 20:08 |
| ishmandoo | sae: so all I really need are /, /home, and swap partitions, right? | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | oscarpaats: what model dell?? dell make a lot of laptops.... | 20:08 |
| oscarpaats | ActionParsnip: Dell 1555 | 20:08 |
| sae | ishmandoo: yes, if you are not planning to go the route Heebie is suggesting | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | oscarpaats: a dell STUDIO 1555? | 20:09 |
| rfrittmann | I tried installing libgegl-0.0.so.0, as requested from the console output of the GIMP, but Synaptic says it doesn't exist. I already have libgegl-0.0-0 installed. | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | oscarpaats: so, why not say that...? | 20:09 |
| ishmandoo | Heebie: what are you suggesting? | 20:09 |
| action09 | hi all , on 12.04, to install virtualbox are the virtualbox package from repo the same version as the one on the website ?? | 20:09 |
| oscarpaats | ActionParsnip: Yes... Dell Studio 1555. When folding it, it keeps running. Never like that befure | 20:09 |
| Heebie | ishmandoo: I said: You shouldn't need a separate partition for /boot, but it's a good idea if you're trying to build a high-security system with all encrypted filesystems. (then /boot remains unencrypted, but isn't written to once the machine is booted, and all the "real" stuff can happen on encrypted filesystems) [I edited this to correct 1 typo!] | 20:10 |
| MadsRC | How do you grant a certain user rights to read a file? | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | oscarpaats: why didn't you phrase the question that way, then I wouldn't have had to milk the specifics from you? | 20:10 |
| wilee-nilee | action09, I would get it from the site. | 20:10 |
| jeppy | How can I get Ubuntu 10.04 to work with my HDMI monitor? It shows up in the monitor panel but nothing gets displayed (except for logon screen). I have tried using proprietary drivers but they don't work. Any ideas? | 20:11 |
| ishmandoo | Heebie: I'm not too interested in high security. That means I should be okay with /boot in the / partition? | 20:11 |
| debrisrat | wilee-nilee, your link is fix my problem thank you again ! :)) | 20:11 |
| tristan3199us | indicator-applet-complete is installed but i have no sound or power applets.. how do i fix them... | 20:11 |
| Heebie | MadsRC: The user has to be the owner of the file, a member of the group that has group ownership to the file, then set the correct perms for the owner or group to read/write/execute the file.. or make the file "world" read/writeable. Open a shell and type "man chmod" | 20:11 |
| dlight | All, I'm having an issue running Compiz on a dual Screen Xorg setup. (Three monitors, two nvidia cards, two screens.) The config was working perfectly in 11.10, but 12.04 has blown it up... Some additional details are in the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11898845 Any one have any ideas for me to try? | 20:11 |
| Heebie | ishmandoo: Yes, if you're not doing high-security or a few other fancy things, only bother with a /, don't bother with /boot as a separate partition. | 20:12 |
| oscarpaats | ActionParsnit: Sorry about that. Let go again. I run ubuntu 12.04 on Dell Studio 155. When I fold the laptop, the system keeps running instead of being on Stand By mode | 20:12 |
| iceroot | MadsRC: you can also use POSIX ACLs to give a specific user access and dont have to change the owner | 20:12 |
| ishmandoo | Heebie: do you agree with sae about 8gb for swap? will I need that much with 8gb ram? | 20:12 |
| iceroot | MadsRC: see "man setfacl" if you are interested in POSIX ACLs | 20:12 |
| action09 | wilee-nilee ok thanks.. i used to, i was asking myself if the version in repo were more up2date with 12.04 than months/years ago. thanks for your answer, i'll continue to get it from site :) | 20:12 |
| Silowyi | I want to install the 12.04 package for Roundcube(0.7.1-2) on 10.10. But I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to rebuild the package (backport I guess?) | 20:12 |
| wilee-nilee | debrisrat, cool I had testdisk on a messing withit return like several whole operating systems I had deleted but had imaged just to see what it does. | 20:12 |
| MadsRC | Ah okay. I just want everyone to have read permission on an index.php file :P | 20:12 |
| L3tops | oscarpaats: I believe in system settings there is power management where you can prescribe what you want it to do. | 20:12 |
| iceroot | Silowyi: is that a public system? | 20:13 |
| Heebie | dlight: There seem to be serious problems with the nvidia propritery drivers on 12.04 so far.. I've seen an article that says you have to install libxrandr, and other that suggest other things. Right now I'm running on the open-source "nouveau" driver and trying to get dual-monitors working, and not having much luck. | 20:13 |
| tristan3199us | any ideas what happend to my indicator applets after upgrading??? | 20:13 |
| Silowyi | iceroot: what do you mean by a public system? The server that will host rounducbe is web-facing. | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | oscarpaats: does the pmsuspend command work? | 20:13 |
| dlight | Heebie: THANKS for replying. I haven't had a single reply here or on the forums.... have you tried downgrading the drivers by chance? | 20:14 |
| iceroot | Silowyi: please dont use 10.10 on a public reachable system, 10.10 is no longer supported with security updates | 20:14 |
| sandy19 | <ActionParsnip> i found one problem , see when i do rfkill list all | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | oscarpaats: seems you need the boot option: acpi=noirq | 20:14 |
| ezeedub | if you're answering questions about how to make gnome-shell work, this was useful to me: http://onubuntu.blogspot.ca/2011/10/manually-removing-fglrx-from-ubuntu.html | 20:14 |
| rfrittmann | Can anybody tell me how to obtain this libgegl-0.0.so.0 so that I can get the GIMP running under Ubuntu 12.04 please? | 20:14 |
| oscarpaats | L3tops: it indicates suspends when folded. It's set right but does not work as stated. | 20:14 |
| sandy19 | <ActionParsnip> then phy0 soft blocked : No hard blocked : no | 20:14 |
| L3tops | oscarpaats: see ActionParsnip's reply | 20:15 |
| Silowyi | iceroot: I understand, but we do not have a viable upgrade path at the moment, so have been relying on strong firewalls and backporting :) | 20:15 |
| Heebie | dlight: I tried both of the available proprietery drivers with the same results.. crash crash crash. The base xorg package got an update today.. which might have fixed the proprietery drivers if the world is lucky.. but I want to give Nouveau another try at this point. I like having things 100% open-source if at all possible. :) | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | sandy19: do you have a sortcut key to enable / disable wifi? | 20:15 |
| oscarpaats | actionparsnip: Let me try pal | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | oscarpaats: why was your initial question lacking so VERY badly? | 20:15 |
| iceroot | Silowyi: not a good security concept | 20:15 |
| sandy19 | <ActionParsnip> yes may be fn+f5 | 20:15 |
| sae | rfrittmann: Didn't GIMP come pre-installed? | 20:15 |
| Silowyi | iceroot: I know, but still ancilary to my current question | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | sandy19: hit it then recheck rfkilllist | 20:15 |
| oscarpaats | ActionParsnip: Sorry about the initial question. I thought ubuntu works the same in all dell laptops | 20:16 |
| Silowyi | iceroot: I can't afford to upgrade the server and have legacy software break. | 20:16 |
| sandy19 | <ActionParsnip> when i press fn+f5 then phy0 soft and hard blocked : yes | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | oscarpaats: the range is huge, please gve maximum details next time ;) | 20:16 |
| rfrittmann | sae: I don't know. As soon as I installed Ubuntu 12.04, I went to Software Centre and installed GIMP. It is one of the first things I always intall | 20:16 |
| iceroot | Silowyi: http://roundcube.net/download use that, dont use the 12.04 version | 20:16 |
| Heebie | Silowyi: The new lib you're looking to install could break the software too, if that software depends on it. | 20:16 |
| dlight | Heebie: I'm running nvidia-current 295.40-0ubuntu1 w/ xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.1 | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | sandy19: ahhh, ok. Then run: dmesg | less and see what is happening with the wifi | 20:16 |
| dlight | I guess I already updated the Xorg....still broken :| | 20:17 |
| iceroot | Silowyi: more danger then a software break is a hack on the system because of kernel exploits or something like that | 20:17 |
| exicer | What is the easiest way to mount a second hd on boot ? | 20:17 |

| ozpy | Actionparsnip: unfortunately it does not "stands by" when folding it in spite of the modifications. I tried Mint to see if my laptops is the issue but nope, The hardware is fine | 20:37 |
| StuckMojo | after my last apt-get upgrade, links i click in thunderbird and in gnoem-terminal all go to the same place, a local mediatomb file | 20:37 |
| CJKay | I put it into xorg.conf anyway just in case | 20:37 |
| StuckMojo | i've purged mediatomb, so I can't quite figure this out | 20:37 |
| StuckMojo | seems like some proxy setting or something | 20:37 |
| L3tops | I am unfamiliar with ironhide... but throw them both up there.. | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ozpy: could use Mint then if it's the tool for the job, or report a bug and state that mint works | 20:37 |
| Angel | l3tops, ok thanx I give a try | 20:38 |

| mistro116_ | the idea is to get the working usb, to work again... | 20:49 |
| XxArchangelz | Is anyone there? | 20:49 |

| WhiteKenny | anybody fell like helping an ubuntu novice? | 21:25 |
| WhiteKenny | *feel | 21:25 |
| Draton | So I seem to have gotten my audio working... but interestingly enough it's routed to the wrong port on my audio card | 21:25 |
| Resistance | !help | WhiteKenny | 21:25 |
| ubottu | WhiteKenny: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 21:25 |
| Resistance | !details | WhiteKenny | 21:25 |
| ubottu | WhiteKenny: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:25 |
| falcom | hey guys, at the near end of a file, vi shows "^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^" , can somebody tell me what is this? | 21:25 |
| XxArchangelz1 | Virtual box works just fine here so hoping things work on the other system | 21:26 |
| Sna4x8 | falcom: You'd have to look at it in hex to know afaik. Try :%!xxd | 21:26 |
| BFranks | No info on fixing sudden graphical slowness after upgrading from 11.1 to 12.04? .. Looks like I'll have to reinstall 11.1.. ;p | 21:27 |
| Sna4x8 | vi displays ^@ for binary. | 21:27 |
| acer-ubuntu | why if i set my laptop to quiet splash, it becomes black/blank screen? | 21:27 |
| acer-ubuntu | any one can help me? | 21:27 |
| BFranks | "quiet splash" .. to me.. means don't show anything | 21:27 |
| WhiteKenny | i started the update process last night to go from 11.10 to 12.04 (x64) but the install seems to have stalled out, the terminal window has been at "atd: restarting..." since last night | 21:27 |
| vishal | hii | 21:28 |
| falcom | Sna4x8: so it's safe to remove those characters when my file is a script? | 21:28 |
| Shin_ | I have a problem trying to boot from a USB. I've tried creating said bootable USB with UNetbootin and LiLi USB Creator. When I try and boot it, it shows me the SYSLINUX copyright thing with a blinking cursor, and nothing else. When I try booting when holding SHIFT, it shows the exact same with a "b" right under it (Trying to say "boot:" I guess?). Anyway, when I plug it in my PC, it works. Doesn't work on my laptop. I'm using the lates | 21:28 |
| Sna4x8 | falcom: I would imagine so, yes. Did you write the script? | 21:28 |
| manitou | "quiet splash" .. to me.. means don't show anything me too , and just wait to finish boot ! | 21:28 |
| acer-ubuntu | BFranks : there are quiet splash, nomodeset, acpi-off and so om | 21:28 |
| manitou | acer-ubuntu: live or ? | 21:29 |
| falcom | Sna4x8: nope, but seems like that line is recent(probably not intended) | 21:29 |
| acer-ubuntu | i have always to edit my grub when booting to change quiet splash to nomodeset | 21:29 |
| Sna4x8 | falcom: back the script up, remove the line, and try it =) | 21:29 |
| acer-ubuntu | manitou: not live cd | 21:30 |
| cvance | I just updated to 12.04 (fresh install) and I am running a Xen server with console attached via VNC. The new VNC client installed with ubuntu (remmina) has the cursor offset. Any suggestions? | 21:31 |
| michaela | can i nomodset in wubi | 21:31 |
| acer-ubuntu | manitou: do you understand my problem? | 21:32 |
| manitou | acer-ubuntu: yes , but no help here :( | 21:32 |
| BFranks | acer-ubuntu: Yeah that looks common .. from a quick google search I can see nomodeset is telling it not to diddle around with the video settings during boot.. My guess is that if you can't boot without it then the laptop is really messing up when it comes to the graphics detection. Did you want to know how to make it a default choice? | 21:32 |
| manitou | "nomodeset 3" | 21:33 |
| acer-ubuntu | BFranks: i dont like nomodeset, in nomodeset my screen looks like stretched and its low graphic | 21:33 |
| RageRiot | title bars disapeared on open windows, how can I close them ? | 21:34 |

| amel | its says authentication failed whenever i click on it | 21:37 |
| RageRiot | heh if I pressed ctrl alt f1 does that close the GUI ? | 21:37 |
| amel | no i just tried using the update manager | 21:37 |
| acer-ubuntu | mohd: no | 21:38 |
| RageRiot | only way I could get term up | 21:38 |
| MonkeyDust | amel i guess it's just your sudo password | 21:38 |
| amel | sudo password this is my first time using linux | 21:38 |
| wylde | RageRiot: no, ctrl+alt+t wouldn't open a terminal? | 21:38 |
| acer-ubuntu | mohd: please help me | 21:38 |

| RageRiot | F1 not t | 21:39 |
| wylde | !language | amel | 21:39 |
| ubottu | amel: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 21:39 |
| amel | oh sorry | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | amel mind your language, the sudo password is the one you used to login | 21:39 |
| wylde | RageRiot: ctrl+alt+t will open a terminal while you are in the "gui" | 21:39 |
| fishcooker | hello PP | 21:39 |
| WhiteKenny | i started the update process last night to go from 11.10 to 12.04 (x64) but the install seems to have stalled out, it got as far as 'installed debconf' but the terminal window has been at "atd: restarting..." since last night. if i reboot the PC, will the upgrade continue where it left off? will the PC even boot properly? | 21:39 |
| acer-ubuntu | if i set my grub to quiet splash, my laptop becomes blank/black screen | 21:39 |
| fishcooker | are u ok there :p | 21:39 |
| amel | really sorry did not know about the language thing but it doesnt ask for a password | 21:39 |
| RageRiot | I didnt try it | 21:39 |
| acer-ubuntu | mohd : if i set my grub to quiet splash, my laptop becomes blank/black screen | 21:40 |
| vector | wylde: I'm not even here for help and I just learned something handy from you | 21:40 |
| RageRiot | I miss understood what ctrl + alt + f1 does | 21:40 |
| wylde | vector: :) always a good thing | 21:40 |
| amel | and i even tried creating a disk on my hardrive that doesnot work either it says bootlooader failed | 21:40 |
| acer-ubuntu | mohd : i have always to edit my grub into nomodeset, if i want my screen not black/blank | 21:41 |
| wylde | RageRiot: you can do that too, you just have to hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to gui | 21:41 |
| RageRiot | ahh | 21:41 |
| amel | ? | 21:41 |
| RageRiot | thanks | 21:41 |
| wylde | RageRiot: np :) | 21:42 |
| dlight | WhiteKenny: hit that arrow to drop down the installer---it is likely waiting on you to approve the applications that need to restart | 21:42 |
| acer-ubuntu | mohd: do you understand my problem? | 21:42 |
| RageRiot | so what acctually happens when I used the ctrl alt f1 combo ? does the gui just get frozen in the background ? | 21:42 |
| === crash82__ is now known as netcrash | ||
| amel | anybody?\ | 21:42 |
| WhiteKenny | dlight: i did that, thats where it shows 'adt: restarting...' | 21:42 |
| WhiteKenny | it's just a terminal window | 21:42 |
| Simkin | RageRiot: not frozen, keeps running | 21:43 |
| esotera | amel: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in the terminal and post results | 21:43 |
| RageRiot | but u get a different type of term ? | 21:43 |
| fishcooker | omg | 21:43 |
| fishcooker | not ok with PP | 21:43 |
| dlight | WhiteKenny: Ah, i see... Very sorry, Im out of ideas for ya. (Seems most people don't realize the window has a drop down...) | 21:43 |
| fishcooker | ? | 21:43 |
| wylde | RageRiot: I'm probably not the best person explain it, but basically you have "virtual consoles" from F1 to F12. The graphical desktop is usually on the console attached to F7 | 21:43 |
| amel | okay thanks | 21:43 |
| RageRiot | ahh | 21:43 |
| mohd | acer-ubuntu: then , you need to change that in GRUB so that it'll automatically be appllied on each reboot . | 21:43 |
| WhiteKenny | dlight: np, thanks though | 21:43 |
| Simkin | RageRiot: you can see this in action by enabling remote desktop and connecting up via vnc | 21:43 |
| arooni-mobile | trying to figure out which version of ubuntu 12.04 to download. i know i want the 64 bit version; but i also want to encrypt at least my /home drive .... not sure if it's worth encrypting the / as well; or what ubuntu version would allow me to do that | 21:44 |
| Simkin | and then switching to the cli from the local machine | 21:44 |
| acer-ubuntu | mohd: yes | 21:44 |
| BFranks | acer-ubuntu: Try changing 'quiet splash' to 'quiet' when booting (you have to edit the menu choices) .. this will let you see the boot progress but won't fiddle with graphics detect.. | 21:44 |
| Vuth | is there a torrent file for ubuntu 1204? the server is tooo slow !! | 21:44 |
| wylde | RageRiot: you can also use F2-F6 to get to a login like on ctrl+alt+F1 | 21:44 |
| RageRiot | I see . thanks | 21:44 |
| Vuth | touches va | 21:44 |
| Simkin | arooni-mobile: if you want to encrypt you should encrypt the whole drive to prevent stuff from leking out in your temp files | 21:44 |
| Simkin | arooni-mobile: using tmpfs eliminates a lot of that though | 21:44 |
| BFranks | acer-ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#line-197 | 21:45 |
| acer-ubuntu | BFranks: okay, i will try now | 21:45 |

| esotera | amel: how does it stop working? | 21:46 |
| Resistance | specialized* | 21:46 |

| wylde | XxArchangelz1: usually yes, however you can install a desktop on it if you choose. | 21:48 |
| XxArchangelz1 | How would I do that? | 21:48 |
| tbrown | ms-daisy: Sorry I ment to say virtual box | 21:49 |

| amel | guys? | 21:49 |
| XxArchangelz1 | I just set it up in virtual box | 21:49 |
| fishcooker | is there any hibernate option on PP | 21:49 |
| wylde | !flavors | XxArchangelz1 | 21:49 |
| ubottu | XxArchangelz1: !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu | 21:49 |
| zz_paddy | hi im trying to download and install ubuntu desktop but i cant seem to find the iso file ? | 21:49 |
| fishcooker | is suspend will work the same | 21:49 |
| fishcooker | ? | 21:49 |
| Resistance | Vuth: i386 works with both 32 and 64bit processors, unless you really need 64bit stuff (such as > 4GB RAM), you may want to just get 32bit | 21:49 |
| XxArchangelz1 | Gnome im guessing then | 21:49 |
| amel | 1 | 21:49 |
| amel | 2 | 21:49 |

| wylde | XxArchangelz1: ok then enter 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' | 21:50 |
| mohd | amel: what was that for! | 21:50 |
| RyoRonin | Resistance: The amd64 works with the i5 Intel cpu? | 21:50 |
| ms-daisy | tbrown: you have installed virtualbox then? You can read the documentation to create a new machine. http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ Or are you getting stuck at some particular point? | 21:50 |
| amel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/963364/ | 21:50 |
| Vuth | yes ryoronin | 21:50 |
| fishcooker | hello | 21:50 |
| metals | hi, my Pangolin doesn't go on Stand By mode! Why? | 21:50 |
| fishcooker | every one | 21:50 |
| wylde | XxArchangelz1: that will install the desktop you would have if you installed from the ubuntu-desktop iso. | 21:50 |
| Resistance | RyoRonin: it should, but note I use AMD processors in my builds (or Xeons in my servers)\ | 21:50 |
| amel | that was for wait udo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:50 |
| fishcooker | suspend same with hibernate | 21:50 |
| Vuth | he is saying the 32 bit and 64 bit...depends if u want to use more than 4gb of ram | 21:50 |
| fishcooker | ? | 21:50 |
| XxArchangelz1 | Okay thank you | 21:51 |
| RyoRonin | Resistance: hmm thats new, always thought the amd64 is only for amd processor's 64 bit | 21:51 |
| wylde | XxArchangelz1: np :) | 21:51 |
| Vuth | but doesnt ubunut need lots of ram since it has the sexy visuals? | 21:51 |
| mohd | amel: did you do sudo apt-get update first ! | 21:51 |
| MonkeyDust | amel try sudo do-release-upgrade to go from 11.10 to 12.04 | 21:51 |
| Resistance | RyoRonin: nope, amd64 is just the name for it, but amd64 bit is equivalent to me saying x64 | 21:51 |
| amel | i am still on 10.4 lol | 21:51 |
| amel | :D: | 21:51 |
| Resistance | RyoRonin: i dont know the history behind the name 'amd64', but its globally 64bit compatible | 21:51 |
| Resistance | (it just means 64-bit is all) | 21:52 |
| tbrown | ms-daisy: Yes am trying to install it but the computer freezes up I have a AMD Processor 1.65GHz 4.0 GB RAM 545GB of Hard Disk Radion 2 cores:)? | 21:52 |
| acer-ubuntu | BFranks : i have just tried to change quiet splash to quiet in grub, but it doesnt work, my screen still blank | 21:52 |
| amel | 10.10 i mean | 21:52 |
| Resistance | !10.10 | amel | 21:52 |
| ubottu | amel: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 21:52 |
| DebolazST | Hmm, I've done some custom modification to the source of indicator-messages, how do I install this so it's automatically used by Unity? configure --prefix=/usr simply? | 21:52 |
| acer-ubuntu | mohd: do you have solution? | 21:52 |
| Resistance | amel: FYI, 10.10 is past its end of life dates | 21:52 |
| XxArchangelz1 | The system im installing on is typically a server without a modern graphics card, would I be able to install the normal 12.04 desktop and turn down the visuals? | 21:52 |
| RyoRonin | Resistance: Learn something new.. Thanks.. I think its time for them to just rename it do 64 lol | 21:52 |
| Resistance | RyoRonin: that's not our call is it :P | 21:52 |
| MonkeyDust | amel i guess you cant go from 10.10 to 12.04, fresh install is required | 21:52 |
| WhiteKenny | i tried upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 last night but the upgrade has been frozen since last night, can i shut off the PC and reboot w/o causing trouble? | 21:52 |
| ms-daisy | tbrown: where does it freeze up? And is it the virtual machine that freezes or the host computer? | 21:52 |
| amel | thats why i need to update my friend | 21:52 |
| Resistance | MonkeyDust: not directly he cant | 21:52 |
| metals | hi, my Pangolin doesn't go on Stand By mode! Why? | 21:52 |
| Resistance | he can upgrade incrementally | 21:52 |
| amel | yes i want to goto 11.04? | 21:52 |
| Resistance | amel: you can upgrade to 11.04 directly | 21:53 |
| RyoRonin | Resistance: nope | 21:53 |
| zz_paddy | hi im trying to download and install ubuntu desktop but i cant seem to find the iso file ? | 21:53 |
| amel | it says authenticatin failed resistance | 21:53 |
| wylde | XxArchangelz1: yes, although that's why I asked if you had a preferred desktop. A light option would be the lubuntu-desktop | 21:53 |
| nannes | Anyone of you has a Radeon 1900gt ?? | 21:53 |
| Resistance | amel: if you want to upgrade to 12.04, you'll need to fresh install or upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04 | 21:53 |
| szal | !anyone | nannes | 21:53 |

| Resistance | amel: where does it say authentication failed | 21:53 |
| XxArchangelz1 | Ill give that a try then | 21:54 |
| dlentz | nannes, what's wrong with it? | 21:54 |
| wylde | XxArchangelz1: alrighty | 21:54 |
| amel | when i click upgrade in upgrade manager | 21:54 |
| tbrown | ms-daisy: I think it is the virtual box? Because I cant exit it out on it when it start being slow. I have not tryed to put the ram on 512 MB because windows Reqirements is up to 512MB of ram but it does not make sense if my computer is 4GB of ram | 21:54 |
| MonkeyDust | zz_paddy orange rectangle on the right http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 21:54 |
| zz_paddy | is there a url out there that has the live cd files included for ubuntu desktop ? | 21:54 |

| Heebie | Danaidh: It's probably the default mode the driver is in. You could try swithing your wireless to use WPA or better yet WPA2 instead of WEP. | 22:08 |

| Sidewinder | Resistance, You do appear, at first glance to be all knowing.. | 22:10 |
| Danaidh | Heebie, would that involve having to change settings on every device connected to that router? It's my flatmate's network so I'm not really sure it's my place to alter the keys unless there's no alternative | 22:10 |

| XxArchangelz | any idea what I should do? | 22:11 |
| Sidewinder | ms-daisy, Was worth a try.. | 22:11 |
| Danaidh | Resistance: Yes | 22:11 |
| Heebie | Danaidh: They might have dropped support for WEP, or made it non-default or something. | 22:11 |
| Resistance | Danaidh: i had that issue today with a Linksys router, rebooting the router cleared up my auth issues (note I use WPA2 keys) | 22:11 |
| Resistance | hmm | 22:11 |
| wylde | XxArchangelz: probably check the md5 of your ISO and/or recreate the usb(with possibly a new download of the iso). | 22:12 |
| Resistance | Danaidh: are you sure its WEP-type keys? | 22:12 |
| L3tops | XxArchangelz: This is typically because of cross versioning initrd. Use unetbootin instead of the startup disk creator | 22:12 |
| Danaidh | ms-daisy: That's what Googling seemed to suggest but I have no idea how to go about fiddling with the drivers | 22:12 |
| Resistance | Danaidh: it could be WPA/WPA2-type keys | 22:12 |
| XxArchangelz | Okay | 22:12 |
| Danaidh | Resistance: It says WEP on the back of the router | 22:12 |
| tbrown | Resistance: Thank you for telling me to check the memory. Right know it says total is 3556 and used is 2366 and free is 789 So really I cant use a vm if I make the memory in the virtual machine 512 right:) | 22:12 |
| Sidewinder | Then WEP, it is.. | 22:12 |
| Danaidh | I've also tried inputting the same key as WPA and WPA-2 | 22:12 |
| * Resistance never trusts things written on the back of routers, normally | 22:12 | |
| Resistance | tbrown: unlikely, if all your RAM is being eaten up, then your system is probably overflowing to swap (far less speedy in responses), which is a bad thing | 22:13 |
| Danaidh | Resistance, I've also tried inputting it as a WPA and WPA2 just in case. Same problem. | 22:13 |

| RageRiot | is compiling the kernel a risky or disfult process? | 22:14 |
| wolfman2000 | Afternoon/evening. I have a Ubuntu VPS set up with SSH and public/private keys. The Postgresql package automatically created a postgres user and database...ironically, with no password. Considering that I'm using public/private keys, is there ever a reason to change that or log into the database as something other than postgres? Or am I missing something that should be obvious? | 22:14 |
| Resistance | Danaidh: and as L3tops says, WPA/WPA2 keys are better security | 22:14 |
| wylde | RageRiot: yes on both counts. | 22:14 |
| Resistance | so you might talk to your flatmate about changing the key type to WPA2 | 22:14 |
| tbrown | Resistance: Okay I see what you mean about the swap: Total is 3688 how do I fix it | 22:14 |
| RageRiot | hmm. probably going to sound like a silly question but why does it require a recompile of the kernel for certain things? | 22:15 |
| wylde | RageRiot: if you're unfamiliar with compiling etc. You can cause yourself a great deal of grief. Although, even if you bork a compile, ubuntu keeps your old kernel and you can revert to that easily enough. | 22:15 |
| Danaidh | Resistance: I would talk to him but he's a luddite and would just whinge about change. I dunno. | 22:15 |
| tbrown | Resistance: Okay I see what you mean about the swap: Total is 3688 how do I fix it | 22:15 |
| Resistance | tbrown: well, the only *true* way to fix OOM issues (Out of Memory) is to increase the amount of RAM, or disable other services on the system. | 22:15 |
| Heebie | RageRiot: Very few things in Ubuntu should cause you to need to compile the kernel. | 22:15 |
| Resistance | tbrown: repeating yourself doesn't help you know | 22:15 |

| stiltzkin | Hello folks, hope someone can help me understand why my fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 does not boot. I just get a plain black screen after GRUB and the system seems to hang. If I start up in recovery mode I can get to a login prompt, but nothing else - running "startx" gives "Fatal server error: no screens found." Where should I start with this? Not a good sign. | 22:15 |
| Danaidh | Any advice on where to ask for a wireless driver issue on 12.04 then? | 22:16 |
| Resistance | RageRiot: what "things" are requiring a kernel recompile? | 22:16 |
| wylde | RageRiot: you really should only need that if you have some "unique" hardware that requires ummm exotic? drivers. | 22:16 |
| Sidewinder | Resistance, That's easy for you to say. :-) | 22:16 |
| Resistance | Danaidh: this'd be the place, but meh | 22:16 |
| Resistance | Sidewinder: hm? | 22:16 |
| RageRiot | this page says to compile the kernel http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Cx88_devices_%28cx2388x%29 | 22:16 |
| Heebie | stiltzkin: It sounds like there's something very wrong. When you're logged in in text mode.. look at the file /var/log/dmesg, it might have useful information in it as far as what's not working. | 22:16 |
| ms-daisy | Danaidh: have you asked on ubuntuforums.org? | 22:16 |
| tbrown | I have another Qesthion how do I lower the memory usage on my computer:( | 22:17 |
| Sidewinder | Resistance, Just joking; nevermind. I'll shut up, now. | 22:17 |
| L3tops | stiltzkin: not sure why it is not starting, but you might: export DISPLAY=:0 startx | 22:17 |
| Resistance | Danaidh: i'd suggest asking on ubuntuforums.org or askubuntu.com | 22:17 |
| Danaidh | ms-daisy: Not yet. A few other people have asked with the same chipset and issue though and no solutions as yet so I didn't want to repeat the question | 22:17 |
| maheanuu | On Ubuntu seeing the cd/dvd drive but not reading it (with any disk I can read or write to on another computer) I still do not get the CD or DVD icon on the desktop when I insert a disk. | 22:17 |
| ms-daisy | Danaidh: let me see what I can do. | 22:17 |
| stiltzkin | Heebie, I've been looking at dmesg, I don't see anything out of the ordinary... | 22:18 |
| Heebie | then it's probably not getting to the point where it can write to disk before it craps out. That's not good. Are there any messages visible on screen before it goes black? | 22:18 |
| stiltzkin | Heebie, no...no messages or anything printed to screen. Disk activity stops as well. I am seeing the line "init: udev-fallback-graphics main process (1322) terminated with status 1" and "init: failsafe main process (1387) killed by TERM signal" in dmesg...that doesn't seem good | 22:20 |
| Heebie | No, that doesn't sound good at all | 22:20 |
| wylde | RageRiot: just making a guess from what I've skimmed, if you need to compile anything you could probably just compile a kernel module and load that with modprobe. | 22:20 |
| stiltzkin | Heebie, also "init: friendly-recovery post-stop process (931) terminated with status 1" | 22:20 |
| richtroye | hello, re: "Hi, how can I increase my number of workspaces from 4 to, say, 12, in precise pangolin?", nevermind, I've figured it out and tested it and it works. Do you want to know what I did? | 22:21 |
| RageRiot | ok | 22:21 |
| stiltzkin | Heebie, I should also stress that this is a completely fresh install, I have not modified anything. 12.04 x86_64 | 22:21 |

| wylde | RageRiot: hard to be more specific I don't know the specific hardware, so that's a "best guess". :) | 22:21 |
| RageRiot | ok | 22:22 |

| stiltzkin | L3tops, OK...I still don't understand why I need that package though, or if I do, why it isn't included by default. Especially since I installed while connected to the Internet.

| ilovefairuz | Robinux: pastebin | 23:45 |
| trailblazerz11 | ilovefairus: do i need to specify what to remove or just run that command? | 23:46 |
| ilovefairuz | trailblazerz11: yes, i think ... | 23:46 |
| Robinux | ilovefairuz, no need for that, lol... its just one port with everything from everywhere allowed on both TCP and UDP. | 23:46 |
| MonkeyDust | trent_ "core-dev" if you're a linu beginner? | 23:46 |
| MonkeyDust | linu | 23:46 |
| MonkeyDust | x | 23:46 |
| Robinux | ilovefairuz, i guess in 12.04 you MUST have the same thing for the port used by sshd | 23:46 |
| Robinux | on ufw. | 23:46 |
| Mr_Midnight | trailblazerz11 try running rm -rf *.* in your terminal... | 23:47 |
| trent_ | MonkeyDust not sure what you mean my that sorry | 23:47 |
| Resistance | trent_: try doing this first: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch | 23:47 |
| ilovefairuz | trailblazerz11: dont run this command! | 23:47 |
| ilovefairuz | !ops | Mr_Midnight | 23:47 |
| ubottu | Mr_Midnight: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, jpds, gnomefreak, bazhang, jussi, Flannel, ikonia, maco, h00k, IdleOne, nhandler or Jordan_U! | 23:47 |
| trailblazerz11 | ehh | 23:47 |
| MonkeyDust | trent_ it looks to me you want to develop something, right? | 23:47 |
| Resistance | Mr_Midnight: do not under any circumstances recommend that command. | 23:47 |
| trent_ | ok | 23:47 |
| Resistance | ilovefairuz: no need to call the ops for that, unless they either spam it or do it again | 23:48 |
| ilovefairuz | Resistance: pardon me? s/he's telling to wipe his home directory! | 23:48 |
| trent_ | E: Couldn't find package ia32-libs-multiarch | 23:48 |
| Resistance | ilovefairuz: true, but telling them why the program is dangerous is more useful | 23:48 |
| ilovefairuz | Resistance: this is not a dangerous command, this is pure trolling | 23:48 |
| trent_ | MonkeyDust yes kinda | 23:48 |
| Resistance | unless the guidelines changed... | 23:49 |
| MonkeyDust | trent_ have you ever d | 23:49 |
| MonkeyDust | trent_ have you ever developed something? | 23:49 |
| Escherial | hey, i'm having trouble with alt being captured by unity to move around windows | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | Resistance: Giving mallicious commands brings an instant ban and is definitely ops call worthy. | 23:50 |
| Robinux | yep | 23:50 |
| Robinux | ilovefairuz, it worked after adding the port to ufw | 23:50 |
| Escherial | is there any way to disable this? i can't access commands that involve alt in my editor :\ | 23:50 |
| trent_ | Resistance i get this E: Couldn't find package ia32-libs-multiarch | 23:50 |
| Robinux | thats cool actually i don't mind that. | 23:50 |
| Resistance | trent_: i saw, standby | 23:50 |
| Resistance | Jordan_U: ah, so the policy changed from the last time i read them | 23:50 |
| ilovefairuz | Robinux: that's what firewalls are for :) | 23:50 |
| Robinux | it means the OS is more secure like this... in 10.10 it didn't require that. | 23:50 |
| trent_ | thank you | 23:50 |
| * Resistance rereads the guidelines and CoC | 23:50 | |
| Resistance | and the operator's manual :P | 23:50 |

| SafariMonkey | Hi guys! | 23:54 |
| killswitch_ | hello everyone | 23:55 |
| killswitch_ | I need a small bit of help... please? | 23:55 |
| violinappren | !details | killswitch_ | 23:55 |
| SafariMonkey | Hi killswitch_! | 23:55 |
| ubottu | killswitch_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:55 |
| infinitux | should I allow my system to update to 12.04 LTS? | 23:55 |
| violinappren | !upgrade | infinitux | 23:56 |
| ubottu | infinitux: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 23:56 |
| Escherial | is unity what i should be using? | 23:56 |
| SafariMonkey | infinitux, it's personal? | 23:56 |
| trailblazerz11 | ilovefairus: tried it before. that was the output i linked | 23:56 |
| trailblazerz11 | ilovefairus: thanks for helping btw | 23:56 |
| infinitux | I'm not asking how. | 23:56 |
| wylde | Escherial: that's up to you. You don't HAVE to use Unity. | 23:56 |
| Escherial | i've become accustomed to the launcher bar and the increased vertical real estate, but i'm starting to realize that it's more experimental than anything | 23:56 |
| infinitux | I'm just wondering if it's worth doing? | 23:56 |
| Escherial | is there anything that offers the increased vertical real estate that's more stable? i realize it's a matter of opinion | 23:56 |
| whoever | hi all i am getting an errror from vbox to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, but that command does not exist and the vboxdkms pkg is installed , can someone asist | 23:56 |
