This is new to 12.04 [01:30] escott, here's inside his repo... the package i want is for 3.2.... the ppa is out dated [01:30] Draton, what kind of audio card [01:31] It's on onboard Realtek ALC898 [01:31] FloridaGuy, then thats your answer. its an out of data ppa [01:31] I've also tried w/ my forte 7.1, but exact same circumstances: mic np, no audio out [01:32] Does anyone have any ideas why "LD_PRELOAD='/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so' /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/VirtualBox" returns "/usr/bin/VirtualBox: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/bin/VirtualBox: invalid ELF header" and a possible solution? [01:32] escott, where eles can i get another ppa with the gnome-shell-extentions [01:32] FloridaGuy: I am in centeral florida [01:32] 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 [01:33] FloridaGuy, have you looked at extensions.gnome.org === trench_ is now known as trench [01:34] escott, thanks, I'll try that now, I assume this is the one from alsa-project? [01:34] Draton, yeah you can find it by searching for "debugging intel hda" [01:34] NurseDad, I use to be in central florida in leesburg... I moved back to ohio [01:34] rfm: thanks [01:35] Draton, there are a few other things you can try before that (options for module loading to hint the kernel that the layout is the "toshiba" layout or the "asus" layout etc..) [01:35] 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? [01:36] escott, how would I go about doing that? this is a desktop and a gigabyte motherboard, not sure if that's relevant [01:37] 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] 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] very recently. thank you.

[01:44] 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] t the PINS aren't muted because they often have their own mute controls [01:45] tw: Thanks am going to install vmware player on ubuntu [01:45] [deXter]: hinting I think, or I had searched like a month for a solution for the ugly font rendering and didn't see this: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/957788-installing-calibri-font/ [01:45] tbrown, u might be interested on running ubuntu and win7 in one screen at the same time :) try this link http://news.softpedia.com/news/Unite-Windows-and-Linux-With-a-Single-Mouse-Click-78535.shtml [01:45] i can't install wordpress theme due to internet connection invalid hostname can someone tell me how to check my hostname in apache server?

[01:51] tw, if you need a command line screenshot utility that understands compiz use gnome-screenshot [01:52] cool-root: That is cool that you are installing wordpress how are you doing that:) [01:52] escott: Hrm, that pops up a dialogue window and can't easily be scripted.

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] rescueme12: you can also install Flash in Wine as I recall. [02:24] escott: only a minor thing but the same methods apply to 12.04 no? Just think it should reflect that is all. [02:24] thanks xangua [02:25] Gaming4JC that is the only thing I haven't tried yet. [02:25] so basically "gnome-panel" replaced "gnome-fallback"? [02:25] in name, but it's the same thing? [02:25] basically.. [02:26] 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] 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] escott: I see. I'll have to look more into it before making the leap. thanks. [02:28] escott: I see the grub menu now. The problem is that ubuntu seems to generate no recovery entries. [02:29] Is that a general ubuntu thing, or is it just _I that screwed up something+ [02:29] nevermind, fixed the main problem === bacon is now known as BaconAttack_ [02:29] now if I could only get this other window to display correctly... === Logan_ is now known as Gfoley8 === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee [02:30] does the flash-plugin produce any output to log files etc? [02:30] deego, they should be generated by /etc/grub.d/10_linux [02:30] just upgraded my Xorg to a ppa that the ubuntuforums directed me to... managed to update my GLX from 1.2 to 1.4, so now Java3D *kinda* works... well, part of it works, but the actual rendering seems to be lacking === CloudLogan is now known as Gfoley10 [02:33] does ubuntu have any known problems with ssds? i may be upgrading and just haven't really checked on that yet [02:33] Failed to open a session for the virtual machine 1.The virtual machine '1' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)Component: MachineInterface: IMachine {5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb1940f8a91} [02:34] virtualbox worked fine before the 11.10 -> 12.04 LTS update [02:34] BaconAttack_, never heard of a problem, back it up before if you can. [02:34] whats a quick program that allows cropping photos? [02:35] thanks wilee-nilee, backup is always first :) [02:35] wawawee: you need too recompile the vbox kernel modules [02:35] wawawee: did you re-build the kernel modules for vbox? [02:35] goddard: GIMP? But I'm not sure it's the quick-est. :P [02:36] no [02:36] Gaming4JC: gimp is pretty large for a simple crop [02:36] the default nautilus should be able to crop photos [02:36] sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup ? [02:37] wawawee: I had to install linux-headers-generic, boot to an older kernel and run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [02:37] but heh :P [02:37] VBox ftw :D [02:37] it says ugh command not found great [02:37] lol [02:37] wawawee: do you have VirtualBox PPA installed? [02:37] latest version works best [02:39] !info phatch [02:39] phatch (source: phatch): simple to use Photo Batch Processor - GUI. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.7.1-1 (precise), package size 217 kB, installed size 812 kB [02:39] goddard: ^^ can also do batch processing. [02:40] ? [02:41] any advice to get plash playing? [02:42] goddard: sudo apt-get install phatch :) [02:42] rescueme12: Why would you want to run dangerous non-free software directly on your OS? Kinda scarey... I suggest Wine PPA >> latest wine >> FireFox for windows >> Adobe Flash for Windows. [02:42] :D [02:43] plus for simply viewing videos [02:43] HTML5 is the way to go ^_^ [02:43] . [02:43] Will not running windows 7 on a virtual pc again that was lagging my computer plane b am going to install windows 2000 [02:45] Thanks Gaming4JC not all sites have HTML5 videos and a lot still require flash for things like uploads and added features, not to mention the sites built in flash. [02:46] Hmm most of my gconftool scripts dont work in ubuntu 12.04... Anyone know what handles the desktop wallpaper in 12.04? Because it sure isnt gconf [02:46] Alright, so I keep getting this error in trying to set up dhcp: http://pastebin.com/pETU4ash [02:46] ac_slater: gsettings/dconf [02:46] jrib: Thanks ill look into that [02:46] tbrown: so why not run ubuntu? [02:46] rescueme12: That's what linterna magica is for - forcing HTML5 on ALL videos. :D [02:46] there's the error and my dhcpd.conf file, what I'm confused about is where the 192.168.10.254 is coming from [02:46] but yeah the upload sites... [02:46] well, support ones that don't require flash... :P [02:47] HTML5 is not a panacea to all internet woes [02:47] Gnea: am running ubuntu right know: Do you know any appication on ubuntu are like dreamwaver [02:47] krfkeith, .254 ? sounds like it's assigned from somewhere [02:47] jagginess, yeah exactly, but where? [02:48] my IP address on wlan0 is 192.168.1.69 [02:48] there's no 10s anywhere [02:49] I'm just so confused, I have no idea what to do [02:49] hello. I am new to irc after many years. I am connecting thru xChat from new install of Xubuntu 12.04 [02:49] krfkeith: you're using this dhcp enytry to work with tftp for network boot? [02:49] krfkeith, well it has to comefrom somewhere.. maybe your interfaces file has that number [02:49] wylde, yes [02:49] How do I create my user info??? Any scripts good to download? [02:50] pls help [02:50] niebling, are you asking about irc user info? there's a google things that can mean user info. [02:50] !google [02:50] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [02:50] I just forgot how to use IRC... I guess I can go to site to learn again. [02:50] anyone know of a way I can track my roomates internet usage from this machine? === Gfoley8 is now known as Logan_ [02:51] Thanks. sorry === Gfoley10 is now known as CloudLogan [02:51] pls give good URL [02:51] Does anyone know what office application run on ubuntu like office 2007 or 2008 or 2010 But I tryed 2010 deed not work [02:51] krfkeith: ok, I know for my setup (I'm using LTSP) my dhcpd.conf is in /etc/ltsp [02:51] todd_, isn't that illegal? to be spying on your roommates' internet? [02:51] I am trying to find my startup disk creator to upgrade to the new version, but I cant find it in my installion of Ubuntu.. [02:52] krfkeith: the one in /etc/dhcpd etc. is ignored if that file exists. [02:52] jagginess: he has given permission I think its high, he thinks not [02:52] but is ltsp useful for PXE boot? [02:52] !ltsp | krfkeith [02:52] 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] OK... bye for now. [02:52] todd_, dunno, try looking for the keyword "meter" with synaptic or apt-cache search.. [02:53] is it something used to connect to thin clients, or to install on thin clients? [02:53] krfkeith: yep, it's for networking booting. I use it for 2 thin client machines on my netwrok. [02:53] so I can use it to deploy PXE? [02:54] krfkeith: http://www.ltsp.org [02:54] krfkeith: yessir :) [02:54] I have a directory foo, with ownership foo:bar and permissions 775. I am a member of bar, but I am not foo. Why am I denied from writing to foo? [02:54] hmmm, okay [02:54] I'll try it out, brb [02:54] krfkeith: it's also in the repos. [02:54] jagginess: I am looking to just get an idea of total usage, but its a remote machine, he is on windows [02:54] tohuw, maybe the mountpoint is read-only [02:55] jagginess: meter comes back with lots of stuff to look at local traffic [02:55] todd_, mswindows probably has its own bandwidth meter(event collector/counters etc).. you'll have to dig into that.. [02:56] 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 [02:57] jagginess: there is no way to look at the lan traffic? Isnt that what nc does??? [02:57] 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] install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe doesn't seem to install in wine ideas? [02:57] jagginess: I can nc his box, and it works like a champ, just not sure how to get like a total usage for today [02:59] does ubuntu come with RDP capability? can I remote in from windows 7 or linux mint? [02:59] my background won't change. [02:59] sherp89, ya.. but up to rdp v5.1 .. and it's not the best of best encryption of course === guy is now known as Guest60612 [03:00] sherp89, some default app i think is called 'Remote Viewer' and it supports ms' rdp.. [03:00] doing it within the home network, security not an issue, just wondered, thanks [03:00] anyone know of a way I can track my roomates internet usage from this machine? [03:00] want to replace TB with evolution in the notification area anyone know how? [03:00] sherp89, you can also do remote linux with nx.. (better than vnc) [03:00] (supports remote sound) [03:01] Hi. I'm having an audio problem. Mp3's are coming great on the browser plug-in, but they sound crappy in VLC (dirty sound with noise). When I open VLC with $ vlc -A alsa , they sound fine. But they sound only sometimes (press play several times & sometimes, it works, others, silence). Any tips? [03:01] does that come built in the distro [03:01] @Todd: Do you own the network router? [03:01] sherp89, no, but its free, if you want to know (it's install and run.. very easy), I can pm you the links.. [03:01] (it's still in beta) [03:02] @Todd: You could try OpenDNS if it's your router [03:02] (but works perfectly) === mackdieselx27_ is now known as mackdieselx27 [03:02] sure thanks === Guest25338 is now known as Bogdaniel === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest35553 [03:08] * happyhobo smacks milind__ [03:08] * happyhobo runs.

[03:18] myhero: I thinks that is not any tool with 8.04 [03:18] yea thatsy i mupgrading to 12.04 [03:19] Calif: I think you can use ssh [03:19] ring0: its 1gb transcend usb [03:19] an upgrade from 8.04 to 12,04? or you mean a 'clean install of 12.04' ? [03:19] you can 'dd' the 12.04 iso to a usb and boot it.. [03:19] but if you are looking for a gui it would be dificult [03:19] dr_willis: mean clean install [03:19] or use 'cat' [03:19] elinks is a text-mode browser [03:20] from it you can type the ip and then rich the interface that comes with you device [03:20] dd if=the12.04.iso of=/dev/sdx where sdx is the device of your flash drive..., dont make a typo. :) === nicholas is now known as Guest37601 [03:20] bbl. got a job to do.

Rather then telling they should work , I would like to know how to install the one that do work. [03:53] if you instat on using them, you stopo x via - 'sudo service lightdm' stop at the console [03:54] but it would be best to use a ppa [03:54] what is your exact video card/chipset?

[03:57] 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. [03:58] the application icon at the buttom of the panel i do right click on `em and check the box stating "Always On Top" [03:59] 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' [04:00] how can i run a script as root each time i log in?

[05:47] Hello, Would anyone be available to assist me with disabling hardware (blacklist) in ubuntu 10.04 desktop? [05:47] dr_willis, isn't that going to be looking at kde apps? [05:47] fail [05:48] kernelcruncher: kde? what does kde have to do with it? [05:48] !blacklist [05:48] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » 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 » [05:49] Thank you, Is there a way to blacklist a second physical hard drive on the local system? [05:49] illusion: why do you need to/mean by blacklisting a hard drive? [05:49] you mean disable auto mounting of it? [05:50] 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] dont mount it then. [05:50] illusion: Shut it down. Unplug the hard drive. -- or -- Disable it in the BIOS [05:50] dr_willis, sorry, my bad [05:50] illusion: or mount readonly [05:51] read only is good. ;) [05:51] seems that 12.04 auto-mounts my ntfs on login to unity - not on first access.. anyone else noticed this? [05:52] alright, would there possibly be a way to prevent it from being mounted by any user? [05:52] mount it from fsstab with options blocking users from using it. comes to mind. [05:52] the ntfs-config tool has some settings also. if its ntfs/vfat === szal_ is now known as szal [05:54] 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. === Alexs is now known as Guest2078 [05:54] !clone | Xx [05:54] 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] I was told to do a dpkg --get-selections, but I apparently my drive is mounted as read-only. [05:54] Zzarkc: ^^ [05:54] dr_willis, sorry i forgot to update you...the fix is to reboot the machine [05:54] that clears it [05:54] Zzarkc: you could chroot into the system you want to clone and follow the !clone factoid [05:54] im out [05:54] !clone [05:55] i need to get this dam vlan business in the bag. [05:55] PEACE OUT PEOPLE !! [05:55] or...you know..back to whatever kinky stuff gets you through the night [05:55] 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. [05:56] Zzarkc, why would you want to? [05:56] Zzarkc: if the broken system has broken packages also. theapt ommands may not work right to generate a list either.. [05:57] dr_willis: I believe it is just a c library file that is broken. [05:57] 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 [05:58] what are you chrooting for? [05:58] grendal-prime: I've read and heard multiple people mentioning chrooting into the account. [05:58] chek out the various chroot guides and try to fix it perhaps [05:58] sorry i missed the beginning of this [05:58] grendal-prime: To get a list of my installed packages, so I can easily reinstall them after installing. [05:58] chrooting is a neat trick. [05:59] no..it blows [05:59] 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] boot live cd. mount theinstall (like to /media/theinstall) then 'chroot /media/theinstall" i think [05:59] you can get a list of your packages with a simple apt command [05:59] grendal-prime: from the system he did NOT boot he wants the list [05:59] oooo [05:59] sorry [06:00] I guess one of my main questions is how do I save this list so I can easily import it later? [06:00] now ya see why we are looking at chroot ;) [06:00] Zzarkc: just backup /home/username, and reinstall the system....:) [06:00] ubotu has a !clone factoid with the command to make a list/file [06:00] My drive is also read-only when I'm booting the recovery menu and using that shell prompt. [06:00] !clone [06:00] but the bot seems dead [06:00] ya...ok [06:00] !ping [06:00] another contentless ping... sigh... [06:01] dr_willis: check your PMs, perhaps the factoid doesn't exist [06:01] 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] no msg from the bot here [06:01] !ping [06:01] another contentless ping... sigh... [06:01] it used to exist [06:01] but i dont think that is your situation [06:01] How do I save the text file if the drive keeps telling me it is read only. [06:01] dr_willis: It exists. I triggered it 15 seconds before you triggered it. [06:01] is any one using an M-audio sound card here ?

[06:04] does 12.04 have an opt out for the unity interface yet? [06:04] sico backtrack is NOT ubuntu - we dont support backtrack here [06:05] grendal-prime: just instggalll some othjer desktop.. [06:05] Lasers: what is wrong??? === chenpoyang is now known as aries [06:05] Sico: This is #ubuntu channel. Backtrack is not meant to be used as a everyday linux distro. [06:05] theuns: Have you run the Nvidia software under Additional Drivers? [06:05] an. [06:05] Ok thnx.. [06:05] FishFace: yes ,they are installed [06:05] its sort of scary the people that come in here asking about Backtrack... [06:05] rollitup, Your gonna want to use Envy24Control [06:05] 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" === saihtam_ is now known as saihtam [06:06] theuns: When I ran that software is was the only way I could get my dual screens to work [06:06] 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 === szal__ is now known as szal [06:06] dr_willis: "troll is intentional, confused is ignorance" :o [06:06] Zzarkc: you can remount it read-write the recovery console had a option i thought or use the proper mount command [06:06] half the shiznit was broke and stuff [06:07] FishFace: i have th post release stuff also installed [06:07] grendal-prime: gnome2 is dead. thers the fallback option for a gnome2-ish look. [06:07] Unity has some neat features now in 12.04 - the HUD is handy [06:08] 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] the problem with unity is its lack of options [06:09] 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] theuns: Yep. But this is all I know. Actualy I had the best luck with 12.04 and its running rock solid. [06:09] Oi [06:09] FishFace: what machine do you have? [06:09] given the amount of issues i see in here with people breaking things due to too many 'options' ;) that could be called a feature [06:10] dr_willis: but it makes it unusable for me :( === Guest67363 is now known as Bogdaniel [06:10] FishFace: i have a dell lx702 laptop, maybe its a hardware thing? [06:10] theuns: Built it myself. AMD Phenon triple core and a biostar mobo. The card is old, Geforce 8400 GS === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest92005 [06:11] FishFace: wow, ok. I think i going to install the downloaded driver, how to i kill X to install the driver?

[06:12] Ben64: why? [06:12] theuns: it has a very high chance of breaking things [06:12] foobArrr: thers a package int he repos that give you a right click-mount iso option. called 'giso' i think.

[06:17] grendal-prime: explain please [06:17] wich makes no sence to me but whatever [06:18] Ben64: Why is it like that, i have a 3d card and it looks like the nvidia.com stuff have it in? and they also have good support for mini diaplay ports? [06:18] 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] Zzarkc: home is for the users stuff.. not ssystem stuff [06:18] you can install things that run from that dir..but probably not very efficient [06:18] Zzarkc: it will only save your personal files and application settings [06:19] Zzarkc: a reinstall of the os saves the users data. but you have to reinstall the system apps and readd the users. [06:19] Zzarkc: I guess yes, when you run a program, usually you only have write acess to /home/asdf [06:19] theuns: the nvidia.com driver will work for any version of linux, but on ubuntu and maybe other distros, they provide the same drivers but in a more integrated way with the system [06:19] Zzarkc: not the applications themselves, you have to reinstall if you do a fresh system install [06:19] y efficient [06:19] what [06:19] !ops | jsh_ [06:19] jsh_: Help!

[06:42] i have vlc [06:42] but i like using totem [06:42] 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] 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 [06:43] u can still use 32 bit [06:43] Murdercakes: You cant upgrade from 32 to 64... so if you already have 32.. it will stay that way automatically [06:43] ubuntu_: well, can you resize your USB? [06:43] I take it not all of the live session is loaded in RAM? [06:43] I dunno. I haven't tried that one yet [06:43] What would I use, gparted? [06:43] Awesome ZzBomb thanks so much for that. [06:43] hello [06:43] ubuntu_: yep, [06:43] ZzBomb: And so I'll be able to open this terminal using the default shortcut to open a terminal [06:43] i need some help setting up a wireless usb using ndiswrapper in 12.04 [06:43] I have this package pending getting and installation a package in dpkg named ttf-mscorefonts-installer I want get rid of the installation. how to do so? [06:44] off to upgrade - thanks! [06:44] shani0610: please rephrase w/ correct grammar so we can understand you [06:44] I understood perfectly [06:44] shani0610: is it failing to install? [06:44] can someone help me? [06:45] z3bra: Iirc Ubuntu have something like Preferred Applications? [06:45] You can't apt-get hold the package shani? [06:45] :[ [06:45] Guest36337: Yes but only for few actions (web browser, mail, music, video, calendar and calculator), not the terminal [06:46] oh n/m that must only be in aptitude [06:46] dpkg has pending installation of ttf mscorefonts installer, I want to get rid of the installation, how to do so?

I think i missed it.. All I saw was something vague about help w/ wifi [06:47] z3bra: "sudo update-alternatives –config x-terminal-emulator" [06:47] hi all, should i upgrade my linux to the latest version? [06:47] @ubuntu_ I didnt get it? [06:47] z3bra: --config, not -config [06:47] aries, what version of ubuntu, and what do you mean by linux [06:47] yes [06:47] noone here done lacp on ubuntu ? [06:47] Guest36337: Will it open a GUI window or I must read the manual ? =) [06:47] get new linux kernel too [06:47] I'm trying to get my config to work but I get mii status down [06:48] 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] mistro, what about using ndisgtk [06:49] 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] aries, what version you have now [06:50] 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] z3bra: I had urxvt and gnome-terminal installed. That command displayed gnome-terminal as the only choice. Hmm. [06:50] Stanley00, looks like I can't resize it without unmounting, which I think isn't working [06:50] * ubuntu_ shrug [06:50] can I stress cpu and gpu with live cd_ [06:50] ? [06:50] bazhang: exactly, i am using fedora 14... [06:50] mistro, ndis is always the very last step, I'd try to get the drivers via additional drivers, or wireless-backports first [06:50] ubuntu_: haha, then just wait for your new hdd, I think ;)) [06:51] Stanley00, was afraid of that. can't afford one hahaha [06:51] bazhang: but the ubuntu channel has more members.... [06:51] Ohto: cpu.. most likely.. gpu... less likely due to proprietary drivers not being present most likely [06:51] aries, why are you asking about upgrading fedora here [06:51] 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] 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] aries, its not supported, and that makes no sense, it's like looking for lost keys under the street lamp [06:52] aries, #fedora [06:52] Guest36337: In my case, urxvt is listed, but (I ALWAYS want more :P) I want urxvtc (in order tu use daemon mode) [06:52] Zzarkc: if I do have the drivers, how about then? [06:52] 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] I dunno, I just tried that and it kept breaking on some ioctl line [06:52] bazhang: let me give that a shot real quick. bear with me for a few minutes if you can [06:52] bazhang: i mean upgrade linux distribution, just like upgrade ubuntu10.04 to ubuntu12.04 [06:53] I'm assuming a hardware command [06:53] So I dunno maybe the logic board on the drive is bad /shrug [06:53] aries, stop asking about fedora here. [06:53] bazhang: ok, sorry, i have used ubuntu for 2 year...^^ [06:53] ubuntu_: did you try badblocks and mkfs? [06:53] never heard of badblocks [06:53] and no to the 2nd [06:54] I was just using the partitioner in ubiquity and in Disk Utility [06:54] How can I build a same kernel as the current running one ? [06:54] dpkg has pending installation of ttf mscorefonts installer, I want to get rid of the installation, how to do so? [06:54] ubuntu_: well, basblocks will mark your bad sector, and mkfs can use that info while formatting your hdd [06:55] *badblocks* [06:55] try "aptitude hold ttf-mscorefonts-installer" <-- my best guess [06:55] ah ok [06:55] i guess i'm booted on live usb; i can try it now [06:55] hi, my nslookup is not working, interestingly enough. take a look at this: http://pastebin.com/CanpbjdS [06:55] any idea? hints? weird... [06:56] does disk-utility have a commandline name [06:56] How can I build a same kernel as the current running one ? [06:56] shani0610: !aptfix might be the solution. [06:56] ubuntu_: you mean without the GUI? [06:57] I just mean if I want to run it from terminal instead of looking it up in the Dash [06:57] Because I'm silly like that [06:57] !aptfix [06:57] 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] bazhang: ndisgtk installation has yielded: "Failed to load GTK bindings. Please check your Gnome installation." :[ [06:58] maybe there is a bug with the latest ndisgtk? [06:58] The following NEW packages will be installed: autoconf automake autotools-dev{a} bison flex gettext intltool libbison-dev{a} libfl-dev{a} libgettextpo0{a} libltdl-dev libssl-dev libtool libunistring0{a} [06:58] mistro, what about wireless backports, which is one of the two *other* things I suggested before ndisgtk [06:58] what does {a} mean ? [06:59] 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] Stanley00, Can I use the badblocks option if I want to format using btrfs? [06:59] 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] ubuntu_: it's called palimpsest, a weird name huh? haha [07:00] rofl no manpage [07:00] what does it even do [07:00] ubuntu_: I think so, badblocks just list bad sector to a file, and you can use it if you format tool support, [07:00] 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] the manpage for badblocks said it suggested not running badblocks directly [07:01] Why is customizing ubuntu a pain in the neck ? :( [07:01] Since I would have to get the blocksize exactly right or something [07:01] shani0610: ANy updates? [07:01] 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] um nope it doesnt hold it [07:01] shani0610: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer" ? [07:01] s0u][ight: chown -R user:group /cdrom ? [07:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/961820/ -- this is the problem i am facing. any idea why? my router is working fine from other machines.... [07:02] ubuntu_: hmm, then run as it suggest, use the -c of mkfs instead of badblocks [07:02] Stanley00, only it looks like mkfs.btrfs doesn't have a -c option [07:02] 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] s0u][ight: Oh... dunno :S [07:02] oh apparently btrfs isn't stable enough for real use yet, n/m [07:02] according to the manpage anyway [07:02] so once you let your harddisk discover where the bad blocks are, it will remap them next time you write on top of them [07:03] s0u][ight: Why not leave the owner alone & just change permissions ? [07:03] alankila, this hard drive is probably ehh 3-4 yrs old since the computer is 3-4 yrs old [07:03] it may not be that smart [07:03] 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] ubuntu_: sorry, this tech is over decade old by this point [07:03] oh neat [07:03] it's called smart and it landed in a splash, I think, before 2000 [07:04] z3bra: it's easier if i could change ownership [07:04] s0u][ight: LiveCD "reset" at each restart [07:04] Changes are not saved [07:04] I dunno. I tried reinstalling ubuntu just a couple hours ago, if it could remap sectors, installation should have succeeded [07:04] But I was greeted with a"We're sorry. The installer has crashed" message [07:04] z3bra: i know, i'm talking about the installed version, faced it yesterday, [07:04] 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] ah cool [07:05] got error: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [07:05] 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] which file should i edit to add nameservers? /etc/resolv or /etc/resolv.conf? [07:05] heh "FATAL ERROR: cannot open disk drive!" [07:05] s0u][ight: I'm affraid I can't help you with that :/ I don't know how to set it :/ [07:06] think I'll just chuck the drive in the garbage :P [07:06] ok thanks (found a workaround for the /cdrom thing) [07:06] was it remount? [07:06] how hard can it be to get ubuntu to enslave 2 damned nics [07:06] because I keep wanting to write to my usb drive but it's mounted read-only right now [07:07] 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] ubuntu_: try "sudo mount -o remount,rw /cdrom" [07:07] oh yea I know, I was asking s0u][ight [07:07] if that's what his solution was [07:08] Hello [07:08] can anyone help with networking? [07:08] can you be more specific? [07:08] What determines default permissions when a file or folder is created [07:09] 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] describe your networking problem [07:09] ubuntu_: user that creates it (group he is in) [07:09] recognosco: hmm, on my system, there's only /etc/resolv.conf [07:09] szal_, alexheu http://paste.ubuntu.com/961820/ [07:09] I test-touched a file, and it was automatically set +x === szal_ is now known as szal [07:10] Whereas normally when I make files, that bit isn't automatically set [07:10] 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] no s0u][ight I was asking if your workaround that you found was a remount [07:10] Because that was going to be my guess === Guest92005 is now known as Bogdaniel [07:10] u === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest25288 [07:11] I'm on 12.04 and come from 10.10 . How do you find all the programs you have then lunch them. The old one had menu system anything like that [07:11] ubuntu_: no i've created a 2gb file on /cdrom, made it ext4 partition and mounted it to /mnt [07:11] ahaha nice [07:11] is 'bond-slaves' in precise deprecated ? [07:11] i tried the remount and touched a file as superuser [07:11] it worked ok [07:12] Click on the black ubuntu icon on the launch bar [07:12] but now i don't remember why I wanted to write to my flash drive in the first place [07:12] Then search for the app [07:12] other than replacing the 12.04b2 live with 12.04 final [07:12] ubuntu_: i know, but i want to set the wine prefix to the usb storage, and it requires you to own the file [07:13] ah [07:13] man. thanks Stanley00 i don't know why i was thinking resolv was the file. resolv.conf is the file. awkward. [07:13] l [07:13] recognosco: you are welcome ;) === Fat-Thing is now known as rootnoobtux [07:14] is it possible to make a my ubuntu as a web server!? [07:14] !lamp | rootnoobtux [07:14] 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] rootnoobtux, of course yes, check the guide above [07:14] . [07:14] bazhang: im trying to install linux-backports-modules, but unsuccessful using the packages available from ubuntuupdates,org [07:15] mistro, the backports are after enabling the backports in your synaptic package manager [07:16] WTF ? oO When I use the default shortcut to open a nex terminal, it don't seems to use "x-terminal-emulator".

[07:17] I have a problem with a dual screen setup: with some programs context menus opened on the second screen don't open where the cursor is, but on the edge of the main screen [07:17] Stanley00: ccsm can be use to set default apps ?

Your tips is to set another command too open a terminal. ofc, I can do it that way, but I'd like to do it properly, and set the default to what I want (Then, use the shortcut I set in "system > keyboard > shortcuts" panel) [07:23] Hi, there is a terminal command that can find the mac address of the near bluetooth devices it was something like hiscan tool! I forgot it. [07:23] Stanley00: In brief, solve the problem, not get around it ;) [07:24] z3bra: OK [07:24] Stanley00: But thanks for your help anyway ;) [07:24] why does Tab autocompletion not work for package names sometimes? [07:24] z3bra: :)) [07:24] ubuntu_: try to hit twice ? [07:25] yeah sometimes that doesn't work [07:25] it's hit or miss though; i could never figure out why [07:25] ah geez it's 12:30a [07:25] need to go to sleep for work [07:25] ubuntu_: Maybe because package dosen't exists ^^ [07:26] oh no it exists :P [07:26] Okay haha [07:26] i am having a bit of a problem installing... anything, really!

[07:29] z3bra, nah if I type out the full name it would install fine [07:29] just the tab autocompletion didn't work [07:29] but then later it would [07:30] i dunno, maybe I dreamt it :P [07:30] z3bra, ?

[07:34] perfect [07:35] 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] i like to remove the bottom bar . i installed docky .. i use classic on ubntu 12.04 [07:35] how do i remove [07:35] However, it seems to be okay if I ^D out of the terminal window, rather than just closing it [07:36] 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] +? [07:36] try it =) [07:36] It will tell you there are bkng jobs running [07:37] Uh, if I close the terminal window then everything I launched closes with it [07:37] Trying it only closes my programs and aggravates me [07:37] lol [07:38] how do i remove bottom menu bar on my ubuntu 12.04 classic [07:38] any one :) may be this is very chilly or challaging one ?

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] but its so laggy now and crashes that now im forced to use the ubuntu 2d can anyone help i wold really appreciate it.

[07:51] rakm: what do you mean by "text 2" [07:51] "sublime text 2" [07:51] just a text editor [07:51] Hello, since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 my graphics card all of a sudden can't handle 2x 1920x1080 anymore. Saying that it does not fit the available size. [07:51] Open the launch panel, search for auto, and open the automatic launcher (or relates program), and type the program you want to start automatically with your environment. It worked for me. [07:51] I have installed the proprietary drivers. [07:52] try reinstalling [07:52] rakm: Just put it in "~/bin" [07:52] Also what is the display manager package called so I can file another bug I found? [07:52] hi,hi [07:52] 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] I think this folder ever exist to $PATH [07:52] does the dvd contain the advanced installer? [07:52] Is "desktop environment" analogous to "window manager"? [07:53] or click on the gear icon, and open the drivers panel. select the next driver, and reboot. [07:53] z3bra: create that directory? [07:53] yes [07:53] repeat this method, until it works [07:53] ubuntu_: no [07:53] in your personnal folder [07:53] well why not!! D:< [07:53] (~/ aka /home//) === torbjorn_ is now known as torbjorn [07:54] ubuntu_: because a DE contains much more than just a window manager [07:54] does the dvd contain the advanced installer? [07:54] advanced? theres the text based then the gui installer.. [07:54] advanced installed is on the alternate CD isn't it? [07:54] has anyone seen my ubuntu forum post [07:54] dvd main differance is it has morelanguages ithink [07:54] i mean the text based as on alternate cd, is this one also on the dvd along the graphical one? [07:55] ubuntu_: WM only manage windows (WOOOOW), but DE contains also a systray, a dockbar, some default app, is ever configured and so on [07:56] So like, gnome, KDE, xfce, lxde aren't desktop environments? [07:56] of course they are ! [07:56] desktop environment is like gnome+unity+gnome-panel-whatever+all that other stuff? [07:56] can anyone help me with 12.04 Dash [07:56] oh I thought they were window managers [07:56] und window manager is more the under the hood thing [07:57] ubuntu_: no, you can see DE as 'packs' [07:57] Shape: that's not what i meant. but nevermind, already found out. thanks anyway. [07:58] ubuntu_: a 'sudo apt-get install KDE' will install a WM, a dockbar, etc... [07:58] ubuntu_: while 'sudo apt-get install openbox' will ONLY install openbox (a WM) [07:59] wait, what's the difference, then, between installing KDE and kubuntu-desktop then [07:59] 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] ciao [07:59] hi [07:59] hola [07:59] -then [07:59] ubuntu_: I dont know what kubuntu-desktop is ^^ [07:59] z3bra, btw last time i installed kde on a normal ubuntu 11.10 unity freshinstall and both environments went top hell [07:59] It's the only way I know of to install KDE [07:59] i have posted a thread on ubuntu forums hears the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970889&highlight=gt5656 [07:59] ubuntu_: kubuntu-desktop and kde are just meta-packages with differen depends/recommends [07:59] ah [08:00] ubuntu_: I used "KDE" because I don't know the real package name :P [08:00] whats the difference between kde and gnome [08:00] sanjeev: other desktop environment ;) [08:00] gnome seems stabler on ubuntu, kde seems prettier [08:01] Does anyone know if VMware workstation 7 is compatible with 12.04? [08:01] what's the difference between window and mac sanjeev ? =) [08:01] means other default apps - - other gui [08:01] and tons of other diffs [08:01] I was running lubuntu for a while, then whatever provided copy functionality royally screwed some transfers and I stopped using it [08:01] they both are the major competitor z3bra.:P [08:01] but it was nice [08:02] except for the obvious data integrity issue [08:02] sanjeev: EXACTLY ;) [08:02] ubuntu_: thats a pretty user-specific answer isnt it? i wouldnt call kde prettier [08:02] how is ubuntu studio?

[08:18] 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] And as ccsm is not installed by default, There must be a way to configure it without it [08:18] Anyobe?? when restarting apache i get this warning: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626/php_curl.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626/php_curl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 -> how can i solve this?

[09:17] Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log [09:17] omido: how about start jockey-gtk from terminal, it will produce more info on what happend [09:17] omido: or just look at the log file it said :D [09:17] Hello! Can anyone explain me this dpkg error - http://paste.ubuntu.com/961951/ - and how to debug it? [09:17] Stanley00: Noob here. how can i open that ? kdsu dolphin ? [09:17] The freezes prevents me from using ubuntu as the main system on my notebook. [09:18] omido: just gedit /var/log/jockey.log & ;) [09:18] i've always used kubuntu . i switched to ubuntu just recently because i heared that stupid canonical dropped support for kubuntu [09:19] omido: you can go back, support is provided by emerge/bluesystems :) [09:19] fusk: is ur system freezing everytime u booting or after suspend ? [09:19] omido: kdesudo dolphin alternative in Ubuntu would be gksudo nautilus afaik [09:19] i don't know about that, i just went for ubuntu as it seems to be the most developed one, and best support. [09:19] omido: from what i understand you can still use kubuntu, support for it is just not directly funded by canonical [09:19] myhero, after every sleep. [09:19] thankyou [09:20] myhero, sometimes, i get to move the mouse around and click stuff for 1 min, and then it freezes.

[09:21] fusk: i noticed a thing that dell systems didnt freez when wake after sleep/suspend but other systems did freez...i dont know about i noticed this many times.....i have dell 1525 hp g series and lenovo 540.... [09:21] Anyone know where I can find a great link to get Oracle's Java 6 for my ubuntu 12.04? I really need this version! [09:22] PeoplesAdvocate, why that version [09:22] fusk: i m also a linux noob... [09:22] PeoplesAdvocate: you want to install an older version of java? [09:22] PyCharm [09:22] PeoplesAdvocate, check their site [09:22] PeoplesAdvocate: hmm, I just read it some where on webup8 but oracle java 7? [09:23] 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] @Stanley00 I have that installed at the moment. But PyCharm requires Java 6 [09:24] PeoplesAdvocate: well then, I cant help you which that :( [09:24] @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] 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... [09:25] 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] PeoplesAdvocate, well thats not an ubuntu issue, if you cannot use the openjdk then Oracle is the place to get it [09:26] you could probably pay oracle to set up a repo for you :D though the price won't be fair [09:26] myhero_, don't think i get that, mine can boot up, be put to sleep, wake & freeze.

All i get is that ubuntu recognises the hardware model. [09:41] myhero: in my experience, freezing when waking from sleep usually means you don't have enough swap [09:42] 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] gaelfx: by swap u mean what....?

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [11:48] thnx u [11:48] btw, what is yr sound card branch? [11:49] bump: got a problem with cups-pdf in 12.04: when printing to PDF printer, fonts don't seem to get included, and I get a "raster" version, with ragged edges; printing to a file, however, works as expected. Same problem on two installs. Can anyone help? === owner is now known as Guest91670 [11:50] Hi all ! I'm searching a command-line file uploader. Does something like this exists under ubuntu please ? [11:50] midnightmagic, plz do not join anymore! you've flooded enough. [11:50] z3bra: uploader using what tech? [11:50] <|Pasha> deluser gokhan [11:50] yes, if you use ssh ;) [11:51] bluesmurf: my keyboard shortcuts don't have shortcut to kill X. should i add it myself? [11:51] fidel_: something like ompload under Archlinux [11:51] In order to share an archive on the net, like mediafire [11:52] i dont know ompload z3bra - i was basically wondering if you want to transfer files via scp, ftp or whatever else - not a similar package in another distri ;) [11:53] anyone know how to change networks on chatzilla? [11:53] L3onoV: probably my bad, sorry: config, keyboard layout (the one at the top frame, icon is three keys), then options (button at bottom right), then sequence of keys to kill X server is somewhere in the middle [11:53] How do I check which(if) dns servers a dhcp network interface has received? === olivier is now known as Oli747 [11:53] cd /join #gtk+ [11:54] I keep installing wine1.4 but "wine --version" always tells my it's 1.38 [11:54] Slartibart: did you tried conexion info on the network menu icon? [11:54] keantoken it could just be a metapackage [11:54] fidel_: Oh sorry, not it's not a protocol like scp somethin else. ompload is a command line program that allow file uploading on a website, it return an URL where the file can be uploaded [11:54] keantoken: you have both installed? [11:55] keantoken: use update-alternatives --config wine or something like that [11:55] bluesmurf: great, found it and enabled it [11:55] bluesmurf: thnx again [11:55] bluesmurf: Good point! But right now I don't have a top panel(trying to config cairodock..), so a terminal way of doing this would be really handy. [11:56] update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for wine. [11:56] <_255> Hello folks! [11:56] should i wait longer to update to 12.04 ? [11:57] elspuddy: only yourself can answer that question fully - as we dont know your situation/skill-level,setup etc [11:57] 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] elspuddy: most likely you should do backup your files - run the update and with some small luck end without issues- if that helps [11:58] keantoken: well the whole package doesn't contain a "wine" command so you need to figure out what commands you need to use [11:58] <_255> I have a AMD processor machine and I was trying to install Ubuntu but got some issues. I was trying to find a Ubuntu AMD version for download but I read somewhere Intel/AMD processor has same installer. Is it true? [11:58] fidel_, it dose a bit :) [11:58] keantoken: i don't know how to use wine but there is not "wine" command in wine1.4 package (see: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/wine1.4/filelist) [11:58] * elspuddy goes to do the update === txdv_ is now known as txv [11:59] _255: The 64bit installer is called AMD64 because it is AMD's specification. You can use it on any 64bit processor (barring intel itanium, but if you have that you should know what to do) [11:59] Slartibart: looking if ifconfig does the trick, no luck so far [12:00] <_255> Pici, I am not sure which AMD processor this machine has but it's a quite old one. And I would prefer to install a 32bit OS version. [12:00] On my other computer, "wine --version" returns wine1.4 [12:00] On this computer, I've installed wine1.4 but it keeps saying it's wine1.38 [12:00] _255: Then just use the i386/32bit installer. [12:01] bluesmurf: No luck for me there either :-[. Thanks for trying though.. === txv is now known as txdv [12:03] hi guys, i've been running on Linux 10.04 LTS now that there's a new 12.04 which is a LTS I wish to migrate, is there an easy to follow way to do this? [12:03] !upgrade [12:03] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [12:04] thanks IdleOne! === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [12:06] mukwenhac: i used on 11.10 "update-manager -f [12:06] "update-manager -d" command [12:06] does it take long? === L3onoV_ is now known as L3onoV [12:07] would I need to have a fast internet connection, an images file of the os?? [12:07] *image [12:08] mukwenhac: fast internet connection is a must if upgrade like that [12:09] mukwenhac: be careful, i just did that and now the root partition sin't being recognized [12:09] i can't bet on my connection right now :) [12:10] oh that's not nice hughessd [12:10] L3onoV: that only works from 11.10 for right now. From 10.04 must wait for 12.04.1, which will come in around a month or two (I guess) [12:10] gaelfx, 12.04 in a month or two? [12:10] how would it still be 12.04? [12:10] gaelfx: you can choose to use do-release-upgrade -d if you really really want to upgrade to 12.04. [12:10] gaelfx: new info to me, tnx. [12:11] Pici: good advice for mukwenhac [12:11] ;) [12:11] mukwenhac: yeah, not nice. but i've got a weird set up, so it prob won't happen to you === iiska__ is now known as iiska [12:11] i just upgraded 2x 10.04 lts headless servers to 12.04 - before i noticed that 12.04.1 hint as well. to sum it up: upgrade worked flawless on both boxes [12:11] Hi, I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and when I connect to my work vpn (pptp) I have access to the work network, but not to the internet, as soon as I disconnect I get back the connection into the internet, how can I make them both work togather? [12:11] mukwenhac: because even though it's been released, there are still kinks to iron out, so it's safer to wait a little while [12:11] This is what happened when I tried installing wine1.5 instead [12:11] http://pastebin.com/Q1XyiGA6 [12:12] alright, I think I will have to look for some fast connection then upgrade midnight [12:13] Hi, where is the Ubuntu equivalent of Windows' Program Files folder? [12:13] thank you guys! I just feel like i've missed out a bit, i want to be cutting edge so yer, i gotta get 12.04 NOW!! [12:13] mukwenhac: i agree with gaelfx [12:13] mukwenhac: do backup your important things before to avoid issues as always ;) [12:13] try /usr/bin [12:13] Hi [12:13] keantoken: thanks [12:13] sabrehagen: There is no such thing. Programs and libraries and such are installed across the filesystem. [12:14] Pici: is there an organisational convention? === Chung_Nguyen-Le is now known as Chingy [12:14] Hiya [12:14] am I in the right place to get help and support with ubuntu? [12:14] sabrehagen: see the 'hier' manpage. [12:14] im starting to have second thoughts :'( ... how will know when it's "safe" the way you folks are putting it? [12:14] Pici: i just downloaded vuze, and the documentation says to run it from the folder. i don't want to leave a program just sitting in my downloads folder. [12:14] Chingy: Yes you are [12:15] thanks mohd [12:15] :) === Guest42973 is now known as Bogdaniel [12:15] I'm trying to install ubuntu on a 'linpus' machine but am REALLY struggling [12:15] im confused as to how to create a bootable usb === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest68352 [12:15] do i use a windows machine and create a windows usb installer? [12:15] or do i have do via the linpus machine? [12:16] i dislike how it wasn't easy to find out how to use the HUD feature... [12:16] sabrehagen: The convention would be to put it in /opt/ and then create a symlink for the executable in /usr/local/bin/ [12:16] Chingy: you can use both [12:16] thanks [12:16] that said... where is it documented that the HUD is activated using the ALT key? [12:16] i used smething called linuxlive? [12:16] and followed the instructions on there to install [12:16] Chingy: for windows there is program called Linux Live Creator (LiLi), works nicely [12:17] there is also Unetbootin , or use dd [12:18] <_255> Pici, ok, thank you. [12:18] Pici: thanks! [12:18] Chingy: is your Linpus machine an early Acer Aspire One? [12:19] the I'll find out :) [12:19] (I think it was linpus on those) [12:20] Chingy: they had a special kind of "harddrive" (early generation SSD to be exact), if it's one of those, you might want to look up info on how to get the most out of those [12:20] check the iso image md5 before burning to the usb. the hashs are in a text file in the releases.ubuntu.com page [12:20] its a Linpus Linux X Window [12:20] !md5sum [12:20] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [12:20] intel atom D525 [12:20] Heya, quick question. I'm installing qxkb, I'm supposed to run qmake but I just see the help === gringoir1 is now known as gring0ire [12:21] by any chance, would anyone know what ports to open (inward I guess) in order for minidlna to work in ufw?- tiried 1900 udp, minidlna is seen by device, but won't connect [12:21] How can I 'point' it at the current dir? I tried qmake ., no luck === ubuntu_ is now known as myhero [12:22] would netcat detect whats trying to connect? port wise? [12:22] This is totally wrong. Synaptic says wine1.5 is installed and yet "wine --version" returns "wine-1.3.8-258-g2390681" [12:23] keantoken and it says 1.4 here [12:24] MonkeyDust: Perhaps there is an alternatives entry for wine? [12:24] my oneiric iso is lost....can its iso be made from oneiric live usb ? [12:24] No matter what I do, the installed version of WINE doesn't change. I've tried installing wine1.4, then uninstalling all wines, then installing wine1.5, but nothing worked, it always stayed at wine1.3.8 [12:24] No matter what. [12:24] whats wine ? [12:25] did you purge it keantoken? [12:25] Wine Is Not an Emulator [12:25] keantoken: sure you are using the right method to check the wine-version? [12:25] hiya [12:25] myhero: its a package that lets you run windows binaries under Linux [12:25] How could I use the wrong way? [12:25] Is there even a wrong way? [12:25] so I've created the usb with linuxlive [12:25] It work right on my other computer. [12:26] keantoken type apt-cache policy wine [12:26] keantoken: lemme rephrase: how are you checking the version? [12:26] "Wine Is Not an Emulator", what is it ? [12:26] On my other computer "wine --version" returns wine1.4 like it should. [12:26] hi, i can't add a network printer. am using 11.10 and after clicking add printer it close the window. [12:26] and plugged it into the machine and booted (sometimes with and sometimes without f12) but its not starting up [12:26] any thoughts on what i could do? [12:26] bronze: gud....can u tell more about it ? i wanna run many windows appps in linux...!!\ [12:27] see winehq.org === toxboi` is now known as toxboi [12:27] !wine | myhero [12:27] myhero: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [12:27] myhero: note that it only works for a subset of win-apps [12:27] keantoken: and what version is offered according to apt's policy? [12:28] Here is what the terminal says. http://pastebin.com/N7XhWGJy [12:28] hi, why the main toolbar of nautilus in Gnome-Classic 12.04 is so different than the main toolbar of nautilus 10.04? It lacks lots of functionalities :( [12:28] To report a bug for Xubuntu, is there a special section in Launchpad.net? Or can I report it in the Ubuntu section? [12:28] But winecfg is obviously still the 1.3.8 version and the audio panel is still the same. [12:29] WINE not entirely emulator but its an emulation layer [12:29] keantoken: Installed: (none) [12:29] shape: maybe ask in #launchpad [12:29] Okay but then why does "wine --version" even work at all if it's not installed? [12:30] keantoken: install it via apt - and then re-run the policy cmd & your --version way [12:30] keantoken: my guess is you installed it without using apt, probably compiled it yourelf. What does this return: which wine [12:30] nevermind solved. :P setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" [12:30] is there any need for a backup during 11.10 to 12.04 and 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade ? [12:30] keantoken: "apt-cache policy wine1.4" [12:30] I installed with with Synaptic! [12:30] /usr/local/bin/wine [12:31] keantoken: dpkg -S /usr/local/bin/wine [12:31] is there a more beginner suited channel i should be on? [12:31] Chingy: this one is appropriate for all levels [12:31] ah ok [12:31] feeling well out of my depth [12:31] lol [12:32] dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/local/bin/wine. [12:32] how to make iso out of oneiric live usb....my oneiric setup iso is lost ? [12:32] keantoken: case closed [12:32] so I've got this right [12:32] if i use a windows machine with linuxliveusb [12:32] and downloaded ubuntu [12:32] onto that usb [12:32] how do I install the right version of wine? [12:32] !enter | Chingy [12:32] Chingy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:32] keantoken: get rid of the one you manually installed, then install what you want through apt [12:32] i should be able to plugin and have it install on a linpus [12:33] oh ok sorry [12:33] keantoken: what are you trying to achieve? [12:33] *yawn* [12:33] My wine version stays stuck at 1.3.8 no matter what I do. [12:33] isn't there any freenode channel for the gnome-classic interface? [12:33] Installing other wines does nothing. [12:33] is there any need for a backup during 11.10 to 12.04 and 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade ? [12:34] keantoken: because you aren't removing the version you manually installed to /usr/local/ [12:34] Sorry if I'm dense. How do I get rid of it? [12:34] 10.04 should be supported, i dont wanna upgrade my laptop :/ [12:34] lol [12:34] rabbi1: no, only if you care about your files [12:34] Lil: 1 more year of support to go :P [12:35] rabbi1: i.e. you should have backups anyway [12:35] rabbi1: backup is always a good thing to do before upgrade. [12:35] is there a way of installing an unbuntu from the usb? [12:35] I got a popup yesterday saying its no longer supported? When the upgrade dialog came up. [12:35] Lil: it is, I think it tells you that a new Long Term Support version is available, that's all [12:36] Gosset_Inofensiu: you can search for channel using the bot alis .. for example /msg alis list *gnome-classic* .. for more info about alis see /msg alis list help [12:36] i have dual partition, 1 ubuntu and 1 windows, i don't mind taking a backup but, i am worried if the installation screws up :( [12:36] ah, ty [12:36] Chingy: you can also check out #ubuntu-beginners [12:36] It will not [12:36] If you choose automatic [12:36] its more than 200 GB of data i have to back it and then re copy to HDD :( [12:36] keantoken: I don't know how you installed it.

You'll realize this one day (too late) [12:37] better choice is to leave 10.04 as it is and then upgrade 11.10 only :D [12:37] hi all [12:37] one question [12:38] !ask > pengw [12:38] pengw, please see my private message [12:38] sorry. [12:38] 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] jrib: I never installed wine in any strange way. [12:39] keantoken: you had to have [12:39] 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] how can i do that [12:39] keantoken: packages from ubuntu will never touch /usr/local/ [12:39] jrib: what other ways could I have used? [12:39] keantoken: you could have compiled it [12:39] Maybe I did, to get the pulseaudio patch. [12:39] keantoken: maybe [12:40] ok i found it by myself geany& will achieve that [12:42] jrib: it seems no one has a real solution: http://superuser.com/questions/295492/alternate-wine-install-needs-deletion [12:43] how can i make nautilus hide files starting with '~$' [12:43] 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] How can I revert these changes? [12:43] keantoken: I'm not sure what you mean. You simply have to remove your manual installation of wine. [12:44] T|ASK: what is the output of: cat /etc/lsb-release ? [12:44] does it reports 12.04? [12:44] did you ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade afterwards [12:45] still not up2date [12:45] 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] jrib: can you please tell me how to do that? [12:45] fidel_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/962290/ [12:45] I am sorry, but on which channel could I get help about a prerequisite problem with opencv (I have lubuntu 12.04 installed) [12:45] T|ASK: i dont see 12.04 mentioned there [12:46] hi there. how do i make application windows etc use less screen realistate? 1366x768 is max resolution on my laptop, and am really regretting it.. everything looks so big [12:46] fidel_: yes, but 'sido apt-get dist-upgrade' doesn't work [12:46] ubuntu 12.04 Can't find user accounts for gnome so i can add my self to vbox users [12:46] keantoken: here: http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source#UNINSTALLING-WINE-SOURCE [12:46] how do i check the hard drive for bad sectors and stuff?

(I have lubuntu 12.04 installed) [12:47] T|ASK, Hope that helps. :-) [12:47] ThePendulum, when you say make them smaller, are you referring to font sizes etc? that is what i am trying to change [12:48] 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] captine: If you have no trouble reading a small font, you could try that indeed [12:49] T|ASK, Kind of a misnomer, I know. [12:49] The actual shortcut for switching app windows appears to be hardcoded to keycode 49 [12:49] And it doesn't seem to be exposed in the UI [12:49] Please tell me I'm wrong. [12:51] Hi all ! does someone know the ppa to install gnome-shell-extensions on 12.04 please ? [12:51] "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] *sigh* [12:51] ThePendulum, made all fonts 8 in myunity. will see if i survive :) [12:52] hi. can anyone help me make ubuntu boot without a gui? === fernando is now known as Guest93602 [12:52] !text | aombk [12:52] 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 [12:52] captine: I'm glad I have two 1920x1080 screens for main use. I had to use a similar laptop on a holiday... I feel sorry for you. [12:52] z3bra: Does one really need a ppa for that ! [12:52] captine: Make sure you utilize the available workspaces [12:52] Who was helping me the other day with my nvidia card? I got it to the shell prompt with internet enabled. [12:53] ThePendulum, thanks. i am regretting it, but hey, it was cheap and i wanted an ubuntu only machine... my wife has taken over my macbook, and the work laptop is "not allowed" any personal things on it... === Agemo is now known as Dom0Pebbles [12:53] mohd: What do you mean ? [12:53] might need to get an external monitor for it [12:53] hmm...hmm...hmm,, [12:54] which way should I install Ubuntu? with the windows installer or the ISO and partition way? [12:54] ThePendulum, i am still getting used to the workspaces concept. still used to windows 7 1 workspace... [12:54] jrib: thank you for your incredible patience. I found it after much suspense and deleted the subordinate beast. [12:55] keantoken: great, glad you figured it out :) [12:55] captine: It's indeed a matter of getting used to. They are a great solution for me at least. [12:55] jrib: now to shred the directory from my life completely. [12:55] 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] z3bra: i was just asking .. i use https://extensions.gnome.org/ [12:56] 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] 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] and things are still not working properly [12:56] it's in recovery mode now at the root shell prompt [12:57] joseph: if you can get to root prompt, try using the sgfxi script. it works for me. [12:57] hi, how do I connect a network printer to ubuntu? it's giving me an impressive list of drivers.. no idea which one [12:57] Mmmmh... mohd I don't see any extension with 12.04, is that normal ? [12:57] halo, I wonder if there is any good mysql brower other than phpmyadmin and mysql workbench [12:57] a_b0y: state your issue if its releated to Ubuntu , and you are running GNU/Linux .. Linux is just the kernel :) [12:57] ThePendulum, hey [12:58] nishttal2: Hey there! [12:58] yeah I used to use a few... hmm just a sec edwinkcw - there are some that work for multiplem dbs [12:58] Sidewinder: I tried both ways to upgrade, no chance system is 'new'... :( [12:58] ThePendulum, thanks for the suggestion. next question is, my cpu is sitting at 10% when idle. am on an i7 quad, so would think that skype and xchat wouldnt use so much cpu. fan is running non-stop. using 12.04 [12:58] nishttal2: Did you manage to get Ubuntu working? [12:58] hi there, how can I print the ubuntu desktop help ? some like ocnvert pages from yelp [12:58] ThePendulum, saw your reply.. its only $150 rt? [12:58] z3bra: i guess it's not .. i did not upgrade to 12.04 yet [12:58] any ideas [12:58] nishttal2: Woosh, wrong mention [12:58] nishttal2: What do you mean by 'rt'? [12:58] ah no, no idea, I uninstalled it edwinkcw - but check out synaptic and search in there for database clients or mysql clients [12:58] shomon: I found some but not user friendly as sequel pro [12:59] z3bra: did install gnome-tweak-tool from a ppa ! [12:59] The updatemanger still doesn't brings up the upgrade button [12:59] shomon: do you mean mysql-query-browser? [12:59] Hello! When I run -- $ sudo dpkg --configure -a , I get error as -dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0175' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'. -- I tried running as suggested in askubuntu and linked here but still the same error. What is the error about and how can I debug it? [12:59] no edwinkcw - never been enough for me [12:59] mohd: No need for ppa for gnome-tweak-tools ;) [13:00] mohd: Or i just don't remember adding one ^^ [13:00] If I just dd the ubuntu12.04.iso to my USB drive will it work as a boot device? [13:00] is WUBI a good way to install Ubuntu along with windows 7? someone told me WUBI never worked right before 1204 was released [13:00] shomon: ok, let me find [13:00] also you can ask in #mysql I guess [13:00] but tread softly, they may eat newbies [13:00] Is there a way to reset the package database? [13:00] impaktor yes BUT you have to make the USB a startup usb [13:00] I think something went wrong here [13:00] shomon: ok thanks [13:01] I can't upgrade my system :( [13:01] Vuth: so the files for that aren't included in the iso? [13:01] T|ASK, In update manager, did you look under "Settings"? There is a place there to 'tick' distribution upgrades, I think.. [13:01] hello, I have a problem with manually controlling my ATI radeon x1950 series fan speed in Ubuntu, can anyone help me? [13:01] nope [13:01] z3bra: right . [13:01] ok [13:01] Hello all. So I'm setting up RAID on an existing 12.04 install .... Got to the point of copying all data from current to new drive. Have questions regarding changing grub2. [13:01] its easy to do my friend i cant remeber the program i used [13:01] i think u can use the same program to burn ISO to CD/DVD [13:02] Hello all, is it a good time to upgrade to 12.04? I am using 10.04 for a long time. However, some ppl told me that it has problem when shutdown the computer [13:02] mohd: Well, I'll search further on gnome extension with 12.04 [13:02] I've edited a section of my "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr" file, but I cannot load it with "setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout fr -variant bepo"… setxkbmap does not return an error, but the new mapping is not available. What am I missing? [13:02] Sidewinder: yees, I did... [13:02] hi there, how can I print the ubuntu desktop help? something like convert to pdf from yelp pages [13:02] Vuth: yeah, I know about unetbootin, I just prefer using dd, when possible. Don't like installing a bunch of software. [13:02] 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] z3bra: i was just doing the exact same thing :) [13:03] what is DD [13:03] Vuth: dd is a command [13:03] 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] see man dd [13:03] 12.04.01 to come out [13:03] go here https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html [13:03] sideone: I also had the upgrade button once, and I pressed it, but interrupted the download process, because I was online with 3G [13:03] i suck at using DD, commands [13:03] Vuth: it's build into every Unix system "sudo dd of=/dev/sdb if=file.iso" [13:03] im more of a GUI installing guy [13:03] Sidewinder: since then I can't upgrade anymore [13:03] Sidewinder: ok, just wonder if I can adopt to use unity [13:04] I have something to say is 12.04 still in the beta stage or it a regular one know... [13:04] edwinkcw: if its just for testing issues - consider using a vm [13:04] Sidewinder: I also had the upgrade button once, and I pressed it, but interrupted the download process, because I was online with 3G [13:04] i burn all my Linux os onto a mini-dvdrw [13:04] edwinkcw: while you can upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 already its recommended to wait for 12.04.1 [13:04] mohd: seems to works ... [13:04] 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] Will look for install tonight [13:05] fidel_: ok, thanks for your recommendation [13:05] z3bra: Good to know :) [13:05] fidel_, Sidewinder when will it be out? hours, days, weeks? [13:05] Sidewinder: Yes, I fear, I have to do this as last option [13:05] btw, do you guys know when 12.04.1 release? [13:05] fidel_: is ubuntu 12.04 still in the beta stage [13:05] no [13:05] Thanks [13:06] hi, I'm using synapse.. I put it in startup applications and every time when computer starts synapse opens up like it should, but I want it to open in background without showing.. anybody know a command for that? [13:06] !12.04 [13:06] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 [13:06] impaktor: no idea - havent searched myself so far [13:06] T|ASK, If you interrupted a dist. upgrade, there's your answer (bad!); you'll probably need to fresh install. :-( Just back up your /home first.. [13:07] impaktor, edwinkcw I'm not sure; sorry. :( [13:08] Sidewinder: T|ASK if you interrupted while it was just downloading packages you should be fine [13:08] hey guys having an issue, my ubuntu server is wedging crash every 15 min or so, everything becomes non writeable, or non accessable, a reboot fixes the issue, for a limited time [13:08] Have to go to school Talk to you Guys Later [13:08] * Sidewinder Gracefully steps aside to let L3tops solve the problem.. ;-) [13:09] Sidewinder: It was just downloading, so normaly this shouldn't make any problems. But I fear something went wrong.. === Dom0Pebbles is now known as Pebbles` [13:09] ok, I google that ceni_2.23_all.deb but can't find it anywhere for a download unless I sign up [13:10] footvilla: you will probably want to boot to a live cd and run fsck -f /dev/sdXY where X is your drive and Y the partition. [13:10] T|ASK, I agree. :( [13:10] All I need is a driver so my Linux will boot [13:10] I just thought maybe its possible to rebuild the packages dependencies cache with apt-get [13:10] T|ASK: please re-explain the problem you are having? [13:10] i just joined === IPMan is now known as IPDude [13:11] L3tops: I interrupted a upgrade process in the update manager because I was connected with 3G and downloading was way too slow [13:11] got that [13:11] T|Ask: if you interrupted an apt-get upgrade you can try to recover using dpkg --configure -a , your mileage may vary though. Be sure to BACK UP first in any case, just to be on the safe side [13:11] how would i go about running fsck -f when i have fake raid setup [13:11] fake raid 0 over two 128 gig ssd [13:12] Is it normal for 'APT-GET Update' to download 12MB every time? it seems like it dosnt cache but re-download the entire list new each time. So is it normal? its just kind of annoying with my internet. [13:13] z3bra: looks like all you need is the gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common packages to be installed , then unable / disable extentions from https://extensions.gnome.org/ [13:13] 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] bluesmurf: no, sorry had no effect :( [13:14] CAZ_au: I think downloading the package list is the way it finds out if there are updates [13:14] footvilla: well... that's a bit different... I don't know if you can... [13:14] T|ASK: I am still not seeing a problem listed, just that you interrupted a dist-upgrade [13:14] bluesmurf: ok, I try that now [13:14] T|ASK: what isn't working? [13:15] 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] 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] T|AsK: no way to know for sure, though [13:15] L3tops: Now I can check in upgrade manager but It says my system is upgraded === Guest68352 is now known as Bogdaniel [13:16] CAZ_au: did you set mirrors as your main server in SW Sources? === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest3968 [13:16] 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 [13:17] 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] T|Ask: but in any case, back up, back up, back up. Better safe than sorry [13:17] how to make ubuntu boot directly from the o/s on the hdd without the live cd being connected? and how do i boot into the live cd when the live cd is the first boot priority? === Dave is now known as Guest40258 [13:18] <|Pasha> how can i link to directories to each other ( /home/user/uploads to /etc/uploads ) [13:18] 40 packages are going to be removed. 349 new packages are going to be [13:18] installed. 2658 packages are going to be upgraded. [13:18] <|Pasha> how can i link two directories to each other ( /home/user/uploads to /etc/uploads ) [13:18] ^that looks way better [13:18] What config file starts services on boot?

[13:19] |Pasha: man ln [13:19] The 'do-release-upgrade' seams to be upgrading in another way than the update manager .) [13:19] is there a ubuntu channel deticated for backup and recovery? [13:19] <|Pasha> normatif: thanks [13:19] cat /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin, or if you have pastebinit installed pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [13:19] Please somebody help me, the commands I'm finding in google and forums are just returning in error on my PC. nvidia-current was not found. [13:19] T|Ask: again, did you back up? [13:19] is the elgihtment GUI stable? anyone familiar with it? [13:20] |Pasha: why do you want an uploads directory under /etc/ ? [13:20] joseph_: if you dont have nvidia card, then error not found is obvious! [13:20] but what exact commands they are? [13:21] bluesmurf: not now [13:22] Myrtti: hi Miia! Can I ask you an off-topic question in a private dialog? (I can anticipate the question here if you want, nothing secret, but it would be very off-topic :) ) Thanks! === mohd is now known as s1 [13:22] the nvidia card is plugged in now, that's why i can't boot to x [13:22] bluesmurf: But a upgrade shouldn't kill my home settings [13:22] footvilla, This might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/jmburgess/Backup [13:22] 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 [13:23] Andy80: sure... === brian is now known as Guest72129 [13:23] exit [13:23] T|Ask: if 2500+ packages are being updated, something may go bad Wouldn't it be safer if you had a back up copy? [13:23] <|Pasha> ThinkT510: I am trying to link home/uploads folder to /srv/www/domain.com/public_html/uploads [13:23] <|Pasha> home/user/uploads [13:23] hi , i am not able to install java-6-jdk in 11.10 please help . [13:23] |Pasha: ln -s /path/to/dir /link/to/create is how you would create a symbolic link. [13:24] !cookie | L3tops [13:24] L3tops: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [13:24] T|Ask: I am just recommending you be careful. Updates sometimes may go bad. [13:24] bluesmurf: YOu are absolutely right I know it, but the worst thing what could happen is that my applications don't run anymore or even linux is not startableat all. [13:25] footvilla, And, if you prefer a GUI, look at grsync; it's a gui front end for rsync. [13:25] Anyone know good laptops that come w/o windows preinstalled? [13:25] hello all...

[13:26] !pm > footvilla [13:26] footvilla, please see my private message [13:26] T|Ask: I rather err on the side of caution. Better safe than sorry. [13:26] does tasksel have a vpn server installer? [13:26] Hi! Is it possible to insmod 32-bit driver to 64-bit kernel? [13:26] i need to remove the shutdown/restart icon from my login screen and taskbar...can anyone please help... [13:26] bluesmurf: But I don't have to backup my data in home, do I? [13:26] T|ASK: bluesmurf speaks words of wisdom, backups show you value your data [13:27] Hi! Is it possible to insmod 32-bit driver to 64-bit kernel? [13:27] T|Ask: btw, I also have a USB external disk, and I did back up. Yes, _do_ back up your /home, just in case [13:27] hmm, I think you convinced me ,) [13:27] I can't seem to bring up 12.04. The gma500 graphics driver is yelling about EDID errors and then X can't open any screens, so shuts down. Troubleshooting with recovery mode/root prompt. Any ideas? [13:28] any way to stream the home without copying all files separately (whhich takes so long ) ,) [13:28] They should put a backup process in between the upgrade workflow ,) [13:28] T|Ask: what I am trying to say, is: maybe nothing goes wrong, and you simply end up with a fresh backup (which probably does not hurt), but should anything go bad, wouldn't you rather have a fresh backup? [13:29] What does Ubuntu use for encrypted home folder? I didn't select that during install. I'm guessing it's encfs? [13:29] bluesmurf: I should know it better, because I had such acase in the past [13:29] !downgrade joseph_ [13:29] !downgrade |joseph_ [13:29] joseph_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system.

Now my "pointing" device (HP Clickpad Multi-Touch gestures) isn't working well: sx and dx clicks doesn't work at all, while touchpad seems to work well. What's wrong with that? [13:30] bluesmurf: I interrupted the upgrade process for a fresh backup ,) [13:30] T|Ask: we all have ;) and, as L3tops mentioned before, it may be worth the time to check /etc/apt/sources.list to see if it does point to "precise" (12.04) [13:30] T|ASK, Better to be safe.. :) === johnnyB is now known as bjohnny [13:31] ?

[13:33] ndee: watch -n 10 pidstat [13:33] ndee: in theory cron - but thats just one way [13:33] bluesmurf: uhm no :S [13:33] cron can't handle jobs faster than 1 minute without hacks [13:33] T|ASK: all of your sources are precise go here and make a new one http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ === itu_ is now known as itu [13:34] llutz, sorry, yes you are right.

[14:27] htorque: not sure sorry [14:27] htorque: what sort of information are you looking for? [14:27] What especially soured me with ati hardware was that fglrx support for my hardware was dropped when the open source driver was "good enough". But I often see regressions, like opengl shaders can't be used anymore after fglrx goes away. Last year I uninstalled linux on most of my desktops because I gave up. [14:27] PatrickC: then , i'd advise you follow this starting with section 3 . [14:28] PatrickC: Aleight , got it! thank you . [14:28] 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] 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] jarco: if possible, give nosplash on the kernel command line, see if it helps [14:29] 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] alankila: you mean in grub? [14:29] htorque: that doesn't exist, permissions are applied to each file/directory, rather than to users/groups [14:29] jarco: or CD loader [14:30] for instance you might be able to type "linux nosplash" to the ISOLinux loader [14:30] if the kernel image name known by the ISOLinux is "linux" [14:30] ok i ll try [14:30] 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] so I think it's incredibly stupid to put that stuff even on server images [14:31] tsimpson: yeah right, i wasn't referring to those permissions though. [14:31] s1: what do you think? === karlyuanjian_ is now known as stupid [14:31] i'd just like to know what it means for the user to be, e.g., in the "sambashare" group. [14:32] or are groups really nothing more than an attribute of a user? [14:32] htorque: other than iterating over every file/directory on the system, you can't get that information [14:33] htorque: groups aren't attributes of users, but users are attributes of groups [14:34] alankila: well at least i got an installer now. But that is probably because I used expert mode this time ...

Is this controlled by some program/daemon that has to do with power management? [15:07] MadsRC: so it's not owned by root:www-data ?

I guess I let the slick interface lull me into a false sense of security. [15:21] xangua: I always do fresh installs because there always seems to be some things wrong when I just upgrade :p [15:21] twig11: what? you can't upgrade from 11.04 directly to 12.04 and the installer wouldn't offer that option to you [15:21] guys, at one time I used xinerama, so only Ubuntu 2d was supported. However, I've recently switched to an AMD card which supports my three monitors with compositing, so Gnome 3 is working well.

One question that I can't seem to find a clear answer for is whether it's simple to restore users files with Deja Dup from a usb hard drive. I've been using it for backup and I don't want to delete my user data until I know I can smoothly restore it. Does Deja Dup work for that? [15:33] sidewinder ok.. thanks for teh heads up..

I'm on a geforce go 6150 [15:34] i mean its an onboard graphic card that comes with asus mobo [15:34] sidewinder : i agreee with the fresh install.. just that zimbra hasnt released a 12.04 lts package yet [15:34] by the way. On some websites they name some "mac version" of ubuntu desktop .iso [15:34] and they arent being forcoming witha release date [15:34] twig11: i can't tel , as i've never used Deja Dup before.

[15:36] skyer2000: you need to upgrade to 11.10 first, then you can upgrade to 12.04 [15:36] skyer2000: skipping releases is not suported [15:36] Does Deja Dup work well to restore user data from an external hdd after a clean reinstall? [15:37] skyer2000, You can't skip releases (unless you're going from LTS to LTS_. [15:37] ok, thank you [15:37] i plan on sticking with LTS from now on [15:37] s1, after installing the nvidia drivers and attempting to login to the standard unity 3d desktop, the screen goes black and shortly after, a compiz crash report is generated. then I'm left looking at the wallpaper and nothing else [15:37] skyer2000: personally I'd just clean install the LTS so it is as intended, then restore user data from backup [15:37] JayWalker_: I see :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1969607 [15:37] Hi, just had a simple question.

[16:01] i have just installed Precise Pangolin [16:01] twig11: in case you use ccsm it is ccsm>general>gnome compatibilty>commands otherwise check the settings like MonkeyDust said [16:01] ActionParsnip: yup [16:01] ActionParsnip: cssm [16:01] 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? [16:01] ActionParsnip: actaully, it is ccsm :D [16:02] ActionParsnip: no, it just quit working after update. I'll check ccsm and keyboard settings. [16:02] so does that mean i don't have a choice to run compiz in that case ActionParsnip [16:02] neattoast: I don't use compiz, so have no problems with it, nor need it. So why are you telling me this? [16:02] what should i do? [16:02] ActionParsnip: I misread your post [16:02] I'm wondering as well :p [16:02] rollitup: compiz should now be running, is the cube working? [16:02] neattoast: thought so ;) [16:02] i only get the workspace switcher [16:02] twig11: there is btw a bug that didn't get solved it seems https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/975416 [16:02] Launchpad bug 952223 in mutter (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #975416 Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't open the terminal in GNOME Shell" [Undecided,Fix released] [16:03] when i use those shortcuts assigned to round cube [16:03] twigg11 wait that was a duplicate of this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/952223 might check that [16:03] Launchpad bug 952223 in mutter (Ubuntu) "Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't open the terminal in GNOME Shell" [Undecided,Fix released] [16:03] will installing driver help me? [16:04] himanshu__: yes, but you need a desktop to do it in first [16:04] himanshu__: did you try what MonkeyDust and ActionParsnip told youN [16:04] s/N/?/ [16:04] When I issue pm-hibernate, it immediately wakes again. It worked for some days after Precise came out. Wed May 2 17:19:47 CEST 2012: performing hibernate / s2disk: Could not use the resume device (try swapon -a).

[16:06] I guess so [16:06] ActionParsnip: is there any other way to get it running if Unity 2d does not support rotate cube in compiz fusion ? [16:07] Kruptein: ahh, cool, thanks (don't suppose there is a mouse way to do it too?) [16:07] ThinkT510: I hoped right click and clicking the name would work but it didn't :/ I also tried it [16:07] rollitup: 2d doesn't use compiz, so won't give the cube. If you log off, then select Unity from the session menu instead of 2D, is it ok? [16:07] ThinkT510: I'm waiting for an answer as well :D [16:07] im writing some SCSI device code for a cd drive and having problems with the read toc command. is the mmc specification correct? It never tells me what the control byte is for [16:08] JayWalker_ then i'd start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:08] ThinkT510: apparently it is middle mouse button -_- [16:08] ActionParsnip: I need to check if there is an option to select Unity from the session menu [16:08] brb [16:08] Kruptein: ah, that worked, thanks [16:08] ThinkT510: np :) [16:08] twig11: been a long time since i've used the installer .. is that option new ! [16:08] s1, alright. it's annoying when stuff like this happens, especially considering i had 0 problems with 10.04 on the same machine [16:10] 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] 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? [16:11] 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] Jerry_: Why do you have to press q? [16:12] 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] 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] Jerry_: yes but how do you know to press Q? What is onscreen? [16:13] ActionParsnip: I figured it was using "less" or something so I tried hitting "q" which made it continue [16:13] s1: maybe it's a different process, I don't know. [16:13] ActionParsnip: Onscreen all I see is a progress bar that has stopped increasing [16:13] Ther's prblm with my WiFi !! Everytime I have to Unintall & reinstall driver for using Wifi. [16:13] Jerry_: so why not press P or N etc? [16:14] 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] because he knows that you need to press q to end the less command [16:14] Kruptein: ahhh [16:14] :) [16:14] god I hate these pidgin smileys /offtopic [16:14] Jerry_: then opt to not view the changelog [16:14] hi!! =3 [16:14] ActionParsnip: Well, I'm just used to hitting "q" to exit the "less" command and figured it might work. "p" would just take me back to the top, but not make UM continue [16:14] haha ActionParsnip awesome advise :D [16:14] Kruptein: you can chnage the theme ;) [16:14] Glaasje: yes? [16:15] ActionParsnip: Yes, I would rather not view the changelog! Where is that set? [16:15] I want a cookie...

[16:20] ActionParsnip: Not sure. I'll have to try that again. Hey, I found a bug report on this issue: 787802 [16:20] sigh why is java always such a pain to install -_- [16:20] Kruptein: because of lawyers [16:20] for some reason the sha256sums mismatch when I just try to install the jdk7 [16:20] +1 [16:20] kermit: I know it's just :# === crash82__ is now known as crash82 [16:22] !addon [16:22] kruptein, MonkeyDust, ActionParsnip, s1: I fixed the Terminal shortcut in Keyboard settings. Hate to waste your time when I should have thought of that myself. I had this mental block about all my little problems coming from some huge thing I might have messed up by skipping releases on the upgrade. Didn't even think about the obvious. I still don't see why that shortcut should get deleted but I guess that's the imperfect world of software. Anyway I think I'm [16:22] set up for now, thanks to all of you. [16:23] Anyone know how to refresh Unity so that it sees new files in the launcher? Or how long it's set to refresh itself by default? === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 [16:23] twig11: your problem is fixed so we should be happy :) [16:23] sanduz2: in the command line: unity --replace [16:24] neattoast: thank you [16:24] sander__, do that fro a alt-f2 [16:24] from* [16:24] When I try to copy text from netbeans and paste into gmail using Chrome, it does not work but I can paste the text into Kate then copy from kate and paste to gmail?

[17:56] what about lightdm [17:56] tensorpudding: what do you need to do on the remote system? [17:56] tensorpudding, or for some reason i twas turned off. [17:56] tensorpudding, i have no idea on lightdm [17:56] i'm asking on qEssence's behalf [17:56] Im so ready to strippubuntu down. Im gonnatry it when i get homw [17:56] (No such file or directory) [17:57] tensorpudding, not sure about the new gnome-shell's version of gdm either [17:57] 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] tensorpudding: you got more attention in five minutes than I in the whole day :P [17:58] i totally don't use it very often though, it's more convenient to do administration on the shell [17:58] I wonder what community is the most active. XFce or Lxde? [17:58] i really dont need xdmcp these days - i just use ssh/x forwarding [17:58] 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] 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] http://askubuntu.com/questions/66431/how-do-i-configure-lightdm-to-work-with-xdmcp [17:58] there [17:58] it's possible with lightdm apparently [17:59] qEssence, did you try changeing your .dmrc file? [17:59] 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] qEssence: what do you want to do on the remote system once connected? [17:59] Dr_willis: I changed it from "ubuntu" to "gnome" Whit no luck. [17:59] 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] # mount -o remount / [17:59] 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] flow if you want to change the colors of the terminal, you can do so as well. [17:59] mount: cannot remount block device /dev/md0 read-write, is write-protected [17:59] what do i do? [17:59] qEssence, i also recall a tweak at the webupd8 site or askubuntu.com about changeing the default desktop system wide (for everyone) to gnome [18:00] zamba: boot to live CD and fsck the partition is a good move [18:00] ActionParsnip: Im trying to get a Remote Desktop in ubuntu, from Win7 [18:00] Unity is a fine desktop [18:00] ActionParsnip: can he fsck a raid? [18:00] ActionParsnip: well, it's a remote system, so it's not something i can do for the moment [18:00] I'm really used to it now :) [18:00] qEssence, on a local lan? or over the internet? [18:00] qEssence: yes, but to then do what on the remote system? [18:00] then im doing something wrong it doesnt work [18:00] Jonah79_: wfm isn't the only way :) [18:00] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/k5Vd0vsR [18:00] L3tops: not sure [18:00] Trying to use a bluetooth headset with xubuntu 12.04. Device pairs and connects correctly. However, there are no settings for it in pavucontrol. Any hints? [18:00] zamba: smarthands request then :) [18:00] when i restart my pc it say you are offline . [18:00] So many great desktops for ~Linux now [18:01] network disconect [18:01] and how do i use gksudo? [18:01] ActionParsnip: huh? [18:01] never heard before [18:01] ActionParsnip: Its Just a matter of preferences, i can do the same on unity. We just prefer gnome-shell for doing it. [18:01] flow, gksudo progrmname [18:01] flow: gksudo gedit file [18:01] JMS32: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see networks? [18:01] Jonah79_, you might try #ubuntu-oftopic for comments. :) [18:01] hmm ok [18:01] 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] #ubuntu-offtopic [18:01] thanks wilee-nilee [18:01] qEssence: you aren't answering the question. Lets say you get connected. What are you going to do on the remote system exactly? [18:02] !gksudo | flow [18:02] 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] Jonah79_, no problem that is a interesting place lol. [18:02] qEssence: not that I know of, there might be some somewhere though, ask google [18:02] ActionParsnip: Im sorry. Just act like im in front of the physical terminal. [18:02] ssta: Thanks. Itryed, no luck at all. [18:02] qEssence: yes but to do waht? updates? [18:02] when i sudo iwlist scan i get : wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : network is down [18:03] xrogplx: do you dual boot the system? [18:03] ubuntu has been running my fans on full blast [18:03] cpu load is very low [18:03] Nope it's only One OS = Ubuntu 12.04 in my pc (previously i use 11.10 ) [18:03] and core temps are all below 40c [18:03] ActionParsnip: yes... I saw one... But it looks strange. Ubuntu applet can see a lot of networks [18:03] hmm but the terminal in the buttomline of gedit is still grey with white fonts^^ [18:03] ActionParsnip: Erhm.. no, maybe im wrong with something, Just tryng to get Ubuntu acts like a Virtual remote server for some user sessions. [18:04] xrogplx: do you have a shortcut key to enable / disable wifi? [18:04] I can't run fancontrold for some reason on this laptop [18:04] how do I make the fans to shut up [18:04] flow: again, change it there, and when you close it, it should retain the changes for next session [18:04] qEssence: but why do they need the full desktop? What are you doing on the desktop exactly? [18:04] ActionParsnip: I'm sorry, maybe the problem is that english its not my native, so i cant completly understand you. [18:04] savr: what make and model system? [18:04] Yes i do have shortcut key and i checked that also [18:05] ActionParsnip: what's smarthands? [18:05] ah ,ok now i get it ^^ ,ok im trying it [18:05] qEssence: you get connected successfully (imagine), now what do you need to do on the system? [18:05] ActionParsnip, dell laptitude 5450 [18:05] well, i'm running fsck on a mounted file system now.. no worries so far :) [18:05] zamba: where you get an engineer to do a remote task for you, worked too long in data centres here ;) [18:05] ActionParsnip: heh. no. no networks now in iwlist scan [18:05] JMS32: just curious, do any of the networks/access points you've tried to connect to belong to you? [18:05] any idea on wifi/networking problems started after kernel update shown here: http://pastebin.com/698GSFEN [18:05] still the same -.- [18:05] sorry ActionParsnip [18:06] previously in my lenovo ubuntu 11.10 i use : sudo service network-manager stop sudo rmmod acer_wmi sudo modprobe acer_wmi [18:06] wylde: yes, of course [18:06] 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] ActionParsnip: well, there's no engineer available.. just 50+ year old non-tech savvy lusers :) [18:06] sudo rfkill unblock all [18:06] ActionParsnip, latitude e5400 [18:06] JMS32: alrighty, just asking :) [18:06] qEssence: yes but why do you want to see the remote desktop, what are you going to do on the remote system? [18:06] the editor color changes but not the color or font color of the terminal plugin [18:06] then my wifi worked but not now in 12.04 [18:06] wylde: 2 networks is mine) I'm using one to write this mm essages from notebook) [18:06] :( [18:07] xrogplx: did you clean install Precise or did you upgrade from Oneiric? [18:07] ActionParsnip, sorry its not that one second... [18:07] can I make a visual directory diagram including permissions? [18:07] upgrade from 11.10 Oneiric to 12.04 [18:08] xrogplx: tried Precise liveCD to see if it works there? [18:08] ActionParsnip, it is the Dell Latitude E5420 and I have confirmed it [18:08] flow, I am not exactly sure what you are saying... this works on my end. Can you take a screenshot please? [18:08] 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] ActionParsnip: what to do? :(( [18:08] i think i have to put this in download :( ok thanks , do you have email id so i may contact you later? [18:09] qEssence: fine but what apps will you run? === ubuntu_ is now known as myhero [18:09] 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] ActionParsnip: Everything, except 3D rendering. [18:10] qEssence, local lan? or over the internet? [18:10] 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] Dr_willis: Local lan. [18:10] Dr_willis: Ocasionally over inet, but just for minimal issues. [18:11] qEssence, freenx or vnc are alternatives to the windows desktop remote stuff. ssh and xming are also worth learning about. [18:11] i m connecting epson 1050+ parallel port printer via parallel 2 usb cable....it recognizing and configuring the printer but when sending test page it doesnt prints it....whats wrong ? [18:11] Where Can i report a hang on 12.04? [18:11] Dr_willis: & ActionParsnip Thanks both, i'll give a look on the alternatives given. [18:11] myhero, check the cups logs? [18:11] zolin_mx: do you know what application caused the hang? [18:12] ok ... but where does ubuntu saves the screenshot iv never made on on ubuntu before ^^ [18:12] how do i disable booting in gui? [18:12] Use Kubuntu [18:12] you can save at desktop [18:12] wylde: no, i suspect on vmware but not sure [18:12] savr: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12231 check #28 [18:12] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 12231 in i386 "fan not controled on a Dell Latitude E5400" [High,Resolved: invalid] [18:12] and how? [18:12] zolin_mx: you're loading ubuntu in a VM? [18:12] how to check the cups logs ? [18:12] i want to boot in command line, please someone [18:13] aombk: why? [18:13] ah ok found it ^^ [18:13] i was trying to put 2 monitors but now that i'm using just one, everything is duplicated in my bars [18:13] aombk: i.e. is there a specific reason? Or do you just want to always boot without gdm starting? [18:13] wylde: no, I have ubuntu on the physical machine and I have vmware installed to do windows work [18:13] savr: also check #62 [18:14] wylde: I suspect about it because I was on th VM when display freeze [18:14] ActionParsnip, I don't have /proc/i8k [18:14] jrib, because my system crashes sometimes trying to enter the login screen === john_451 is now known as ki4ro [18:14] i tried to change the xorg.conf, but nothing change [18:14] myhero: check /var/log/cups [18:14] ActionParsnip, I'm on the e5420 [18:14] wylde: then went to a tty (crtl-alt-f1) and it was still responsive [18:14] but i am not sure the login screen is gdm [18:14] Hey #ubuntu! I need a replacement for Google Desktop Search, now that it's discontinued. Can anyone recommend one? [18:14] aombk: sorry, I meant lightdm [18:15] aombk: so do you want to debug or you just want to boot to text mode all the time? [18:15] wylde: but X was freeze [18:15] jrib yes, all the time [18:15] 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] !text | aombk [18:15] aombk: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

It's still not big enough for me. [18:17] and in secont time - no results...

[18:24] Correct [18:24] jrib, can i uninstall lightdm? [18:24] aombk: I guess you could do that, yeah. But adding "text" to the kernel line should be sufficient [18:25] phillip, for my intel based laptop - i had to use the special FN keys to enable the 2nd/external monitor. then use that monitors tool to tweak the settings for it [18:25] i only plan on using xfce [18:25] hi there, recently i installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS but when i configure the internet connection (manual type) i can just see google and youtube, other webpage doesn't load. With the same configuration (subnet mask, ip, server dns) in Windows works fine [18:25] The control panel recognizes both displays but I get a stange error when I try to enable them both [18:25] i am not getting any error when running dmesg [18:25] hey Guys.

[18:27] jrib: surely it will just add an xfce session to lightdm and be accessible...? [18:27] I can't mount my usb key... Not Authorized. Can you help me ? [18:27] jrib, ok i will reboot now to check again with text. and i will be back [18:27] ActionParsnip: right, I said he can :) [18:27] kesavan: even better, check if 'eject -T' or simply 'eject' works [18:27] jrib, thanks [18:27] aombk: wait [18:27] trying to get 3 monitors working with gnome3/12.04...

[18:27] jrib: my bad, thought you said can't [18:27] I ran sudo lshw -c disk [18:27] aombk: at the grub screen, hit 'e' and you can check for sure that you are booting a line that mentions "text" [18:27] Dr_willis the control panel says there is to monitors connected but when I try to expand the desktop across both of them I get a wierd error [18:27] ActionParsnip: no problem [18:27] Hi everyone, is there a special irc channel to get support on Ubuntu Software Center purchases?

[18:39] '/dev/sr0' is not showing up when I am running 'mount' [18:39] ...dont properly talk * to each other*. i suspect that lpt/usb adapter a bit [18:39] DexterF: any way to catch the problem to the core..... [18:40] 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] 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] s/specific/specified [18:40] oh great vlc and smplayer are horribly broken after the 11.10 upgrade. [18:41] DexterF: i m on laptop so no pci....... [18:41] jrib: is it ok to change the cmakelists.txt? [18:41] myhero: put it on a shelf and use a nice multifun inkjet :) [18:41] ktchk: I don't know. This is why I tell you to contact the author :) [18:41] jrib: thanks [18:41] hello all how is everyone today [18:42] DexterF: how to selectivity....n plz dont joke its causing a pain in the a***..... [18:42] DexterF: help bro...... [18:42] '/dev/sr0' is not showing up when I am running 'mount' [18:43] 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] myhero: checked the cups log files? [18:43] kesavan, try a /dev/cdrom ? [18:43] kesaban: ... strange ... , try what Dr_willis said please. [18:44] kesavan, ive seen cd's show up as sr0 or a sdX - but /dev/cdrom should be a link to them [18:44] hi can i install latest evolution in ubuntu 10.10? [18:44] DexterF: not on terminal....u guide...i'll go through... [18:44] naftilos76, find a ppa for it perhaps? [18:44] naftilos76, 10,10 is eol [18:44] naftilos76: 10.10 is end of life. Better upgrade first [18:45] myhero: create a simple text file, on a terminal do lpr textfile [18:45] I could see this '/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)' [18:45] jrib, ok i booted in command line. thanks. but there is another problem. while booting with new kernels the computer crashes. this happens while ubuntu changes resolution for text mode while booting [18:45] Hi my question is about my gateway gt5656 i'm having problems with the nvidia geforce 6150se integrated graphics.

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] 10.10 is fine i do not want latest distros everything have been f**** up after 10.10 [18:45] jrib, can i prevent it from changing resolution during boot in text mode? [18:45] 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? [18:46] naftilos76: 10.10 is eol, and because of that offtopic here. Also, control your language, obfuscated swearing is not allowed either [18:46] but I didnt see and cdrom or sr0 when i ran just 'mount' [18:46] !10.10 naftilos76 [18:46] is there any other command I need to run? [18:46] kesavan, ask Justin Bieber about it [18:46] 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] kesavan: but do you have /dev/cdrom ? or /dev/dvdrom or /dev/dvdrw ... ? [18:47] oCean: i insist in 10.10 [18:47] naftilos76: fine, then you can not ask for support here [18:48] how can i prevent ubuntu from changing resolution during boot in text mode? [18:48] says who? [18:48] yes. I suppose..when I run 'sudo lshw -c disk' it shows * cdrom [18:48] naftilos76: I do. Or read the /topic [18:48] aombk, disable the framebuffer i belive [18:48] how can i prevent Update Manager from running? [18:48] has anyone heard if there are any problems with gnome 3 on 12.04 [18:48] aombk, i think the options 'text nofb nosplash' disables most everything [18:48] Hi my question is about mHi my question is about my gateway gt5656 i'm having problems with the nvidia geforce 6150se integrated graphics.

If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [18:53] pouncer: its not, its already installed and default [18:53] i'm having strange issues with gnome-panel since I upgraded to precise [18:54] hmm how do you switch over to it [18:54] ActionParsnip: you're saying gnome 3 is default if you use unity? I thought it was either/or? [18:54] pouncer: what desktop are you using now? [18:54] I launch it [18:54] how do i select qt4 themes without kde4? [18:54] the stock unity [18:54] ezeedub: unity is a shell for Gnome, it replaces gnome-panel [18:54] do you need some more details? [18:54] pouncer: then you have gnome installed already [18:54] it seems the graphical glitches in gnome-panel vary with the window manager used [18:54] i cant get my hardware to work properly on ubuntu 12.04 [18:55] ActionParsnip: so I think I mean gnome-shell then [18:55] ezeedub: there is a difference [18:55] I've just installed emacs 24 on 12.04 following the instructions here: http://www.mikeyboldt.com/2011/11/30/install-emacs-24-in-ubuntu/ and though it installs and I can run it from the terminal, I can't get an Icon of it to work in the launchbar, nor does it show up when switching between applications with alt-tab. What gives? [18:55] its my graphics card [18:56] <_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] I installed onto an 8 gig disk. I said no to the settings question to save settings on the disk. Can I change this now or do I have to reinstall?

[18:56] !notunity | pouncer [18:56] 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] pouncer: ahh then that's different, why didn't you just say that [18:57] ubottu i don't understand what you'r trying to tell me exactly [18:57] michaela: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:57] pouncer: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ [18:57] ok cool so there is no problems switching to the old gnome shell [18:57] pouncer: try using plain language, its waaay easier [18:57] pouncer: there is no old gnome shell [18:57] pouncer: gnome2 is gone [18:58] does everyone think im a bot [18:58] u know what i mean lol [18:58] michaela: no...ubottu is a bot.

[19:00] All I said was the some recent Ubuntu updates broke it, don't all jump on me at once [19:00] CJKay: Did you try bumblebee? [19:01] Sna4x8: Last I heard Ironhide was supposed to 'replace' Bumblebee [19:01] ActionParsnip: gnome-tweak-tool... missed that for gnome-shell. Gonna try that. Any advice if I should be using the proprietary driver or not? [19:01] CJKay: Maybe at one point, but I think they're separate projects now. [19:02] I may be incorrect, though.

My wife's laptop has optimus (which is my nightmare), [19:07] hey everybody ;) [19:07] ok. at least no crazy pbms it seems, like 11.04 -> 11.10 hell [19:07] Yeah, it's a bit of a horror story really [19:07] v1z: pfff, for you. [19:08] v1z: 11.04 used gnome2, 11.10 used gnome3 (that upgrade was never going to go smooth) [19:08] I get aptd crashed colord crashed, can't click anything. I really should have waited to upgrade.

[19:27] good bye === box is now known as Guest47452 [19:28] Hiya [19:28] hi [19:28] jrib: I thought maybe the password was nothing. But that didn't work either. [19:28] "Ubuntu 12.04 review – precisely what we feared" [19:29] shashwatpns: do you enter username + password? [19:29] hoping to get some help on an issue Im having with a newly installed ubuntu. [19:29] Does anyone else have trouble with the boot splash animation? [19:29] When I print something, it doesnt seem to work. And when I look at the Printer Status, it says STOPPED (when I havent actually touched it) [19:29] Sonic132: it should prompt you for a password, but I have not used the gui for that in a while [19:29] aragorn5: do you have a support question? [19:29] Sonic132: check if you can set the password for the account back in the program where you created them [19:29] Chingy: which release? Which printer? [19:30] jrib: I tried doing a search on Google for setting up User Accounts and got nil. [19:30] I have upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 lts. nvidia-current driver works fine. But ctrl-alt-f1(tty terminal) is getting to a screen with graphics messed up. Do you know why? [19:30] its the latest ubuntu and an Epson TM20 [19:30] Sonic132: if you don't care about using the gui or figuring out if you did something wrong or if it is broken, you can just use "sudo adduser USERNAME_HERE" in a terminal [19:31] Konstantinos: se CTRL+ALT+F1, or install guake, no need for the CTRL+ALT+F1 screen :) [19:31] Chingy: how did you install the printer? [19:31] Epson (TM-T20) which is a thermal printer. I can look at properties and print a test page [19:31] jrib: Well they appear to be disabled still in the User Accounts window. But I don't see an option to enable them. [19:31] Yay Updates! === aaabbcc1 is now known as aaabbcc [19:31] ActionParsnip: I downloaded the driver from epson and then opened the tar file [19:32] ActionParsnip: what do you mean "se CTRL+ALT+F1" [19:32] hello guys here fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/8tXkLbVv === nishant is now known as shashwatpns [19:32] but I also remember an option where it asked me to select a pph file? [19:32] I just had a freeze in 10.04 with the Scroll and Caps lights blinking - what does it mean? [19:32] Konstantinos: *use [19:32] ActionParsnip: It did not work [19:33] aragorn5: Kernel panic :S [19:34] shashwatpns: if you make a new user, is it ok as the new user? [19:34] CJKay, so I have to check the last log in messages.1 ? [19:34] *in syslog [19:35] aaabbcc, you have 5 ntfs partitions including the boot partition sda1 the boot partition may trigger a grub listing if windows is completely gone I suspect just a guess really. [19:35] ActionParsnip: I've got some important data there..... [19:36] wilee-nilee, What i have to do now? [19:36] Not sure where it saves the panic log actually [19:36] I've been lucky enough to never have to debug them :P [19:36] How do I know what was the last syslog message before it crashed? [19:36] aaabbcc, windows is gone correct? [19:36] wilee-nilee, yeah [19:37] hi can anyone help suggest the best place for me to get support re my printer issue? [19:37] Anyone know how to enable User Accounts that you've created? [19:38] aaabbcc, install gparted and format not delete sda1 to a ext type it is rather small thiough if removed completely it will change the other partition numbers. There ,might be a format in gthe disk utility. === donald is now known as Guest68993 [19:38] ActionParsnip: It actually happened after changed privilages and removed the" login automatically" of other users and mine..... [19:38] ActionParsnip: Thank you for guake. I also use standard ubuntu terminal. By pressing CTRL-ALT-F1, F2, and any other console terminal keys the display is messed up. I am afraid that the nvidia-current does not work ok for my nvidia card. Moreover, I cannot see the boot console messages by pressing ESC at boot time. [19:38] aaabbcc, you can format that partition to a ntfs or fat or ext type realy. [19:38] Konstantinos: all I use is guake, its the bom [19:39] wilee-nilee, Can i remove it manually? [19:39] hi I am Debian user and I am using Evolution 3.x.x I am trying to go back to Ubuntu 10.04LTS, where I got Evolution 2.30. How can I import contacts, calendar and mail from 3.x.x to 2.30 under Ubuntu. Copy and paste is not working [19:40] Konstantinos: remove the boot options: quiet splash and you will see the boot messages [19:40] aaabbcc, if you remove it every other partition will move down one number I believe, this may cause a need for a grub reload to the mbr [19:40] martinex: if you have a IMAP server available, you could sync at least the emails [19:40] ubuntu kernel: [ 2978.158724] epiphany-browse[2057]: segfault at 1000000008 ip 0000001000000008 sp 00007fff40e32738 error 14 [19:40] I got 3k mail only on pc [19:41] What does it mean? [19:41] I know this is slightly off topic. But as it concerns Ubuntu. I figure it might pass. Anyone know how to use gparted to format an SD card for Android phones? [19:41] It's another thing I've been wanting to do. But have little luck. [19:41] 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] Sonic132: but a good guess is that you just do mkfs.vfat [19:42] alankila: That is true. But I mean with sd-ext partitions and whatnot to make Android run smoother and less crashes. [19:42] wilee-nilee, OK i have formated as ext4 using gparted [19:42] 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] aaabbcc, now run sudo update-grub and see if windows is gone [19:42] alankila: What would that command do exactly? [19:42] s/purpose/tip/ [19:42] hi there [19:42] 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 [19:43] How do you go about changing the boot animation on 12.04? [19:43] although a good guess is again to make a partition on sdcard and format it with ext2, 3 or 4. [19:43] ActionParsnip: thank you for your advices :). It seems that some nvidia issues remain. [19:43] still trying to download 12.04 amd64+mac iso for my macbook air, but the link doesn't work [19:43] any ideas? [19:43] 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? [19:44] Sonic132: mkfs.vfat will construct a vfat filesystem on the device node (which must be prepartitioned). [19:44] warpino; can you use a torrent? [19:44] Rexter: yes, I can [19:44] No luck with Bumblebee either [19:44] Sadface [19:44] wilee-nilee, I still get windows 7 [19:44] hello i have a big problem .... i have a pc netbook acer travelmate 5335 .... i have istall ubuntu ver 12.04 x 86 my problem is monitor pc is "black" [19:44] 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] alankila: I don't really know what a vfat filesystem is. Except that fat is usually an sd card/flash drive format. [19:45] 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] 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] alankila: Well in that case I could just format the entire card as ext3 or ext4. [19:45] aaabbcc: have you set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in your /etc/default/grub? [19:45] 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 [19:46] Sonic132: android is probably going to be very confused about the sdcard in that case. Not sure what will happen. [19:46] Sonic132: i think the actual thing that gets seen as an "SD card" (which is needed for some things) should really be FAT === flipp_ is now known as flipp [19:46] schnuffle, not a good way to make sure the user has windows removed if needed and understand what needs to be done.

[19:49] Sonic132: nah... i don't have an ext partition on my phone, so not really sure, but i think it's used as an alternative way of storing apps [19:49] aaabbcc, okay if that works for you I suspect your headed for more trouble if you just slap paint on instead of actually fix it. [19:50] LjL: Oh that's right! You can install all your apps to the SD card instead of little elements being left on the phone even after moving. [19:50] warpino, do you get an xml error? [19:50] Rexter: yep, that's what I get [19:50] Sonic132: also you can install apps which are otherwise not installable on SD [19:51] ubuntu 12.04.... fix Kwin + nx please :) [19:51] i have in the log file "segfault" messages every few hours. what does it mean? [19:51] Sonic132: by the way, i'm pretending otherwise but in reality this discussion is badly offtopic for here... maybe ping me in #android or #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue it there, not that i know much more about this than i already said :P [19:52] not sure if I am in the right place [19:52] LjL: Yeah.

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] H474r1, the main problem I had with Ubuntu was graphic driver related crashes.

[20:04] ishmandoo: from my experience it is not needed. [20:04] 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) [20:05] sae: I already have windows boot partition on the SSD, do you think that matters? [20:05] ishmandoo: nope [20:05] ishmandoo: Are you planning on resizing the windows partition? [20:06] ishmandoo: Great hint from Heebie [20:06] sae: no, leaving it. This is a fresh install so I made the windows the size I want [20:06] 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?" [20:07] ishmandoo: It's always easy enough to edit the grub configuration later to add another OS if it doesn't. [20:07] Seems to be the latest Nvidia drivers are causing the problem... [20:07] ishmandoo: great. Grub will figure it out. Do you have any kind of windows recovery or system reserved partition on the SDD? [20:07] 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] 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] IronHide can't detect the device at all [20:08] s/kis/is [20:08] sae: no, those partitions are gone [20:08] sae: so all I really need are /, /home, and swap partitions, right?

[20:08] ActionParsnip: Dell 1555 [20:09] ishmandoo: yes, if you are not planning to go the route Heebie is suggesting [20:09] oscarpaats: a dell STUDIO 1555? [20:09] 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] oscarpaats: so, why not say that...? [20:09] Heebie: what are you suggesting? [20:09] 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] ActionParsnip: Yes... Dell Studio 1555. When folding it, it keeps running. Never like that befure [20:10] 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.

[20:11] 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] Heebie: I'm not too interested in high security. That means I should be okay with /boot in the / partition?

Some additional details are in the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11898845 Any one have any ideas for me to try? [20:12] 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] 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] MadsRC: you can also use POSIX ACLs to give a specific user access and dont have to change the owner [20:12] Heebie: do you agree with sae about 8gb for swap? will I need that much with 8gb ram? [20:12] MadsRC: see "man setfacl" if you are interested in POSIX ACLs [20:12] 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] I want to install the 12.04 package for Roundcube(0.7.1-2) on 10.10.

I just want everyone to have read permission on an index.php file :P [20:12] oscarpaats: I believe in system settings there is power management where you can prescribe what you want it to do. [20:13] Silowyi: is that a public system? [20:13] 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.

[20:14] then phy0 soft blocked : No hard blocked : no [20:15] oscarpaats: see ActionParsnip's reply [20:15] 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] 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.

[20:15] iceroot: I know, but still ancilary to my current question [20:15] sandy19: hit it then recheck rfkilllist [20:16] ActionParsnip: Sorry about the initial question. I thought ubuntu works the same in all dell laptops [20:16] iceroot: I can't afford to upgrade the server and have legacy software break.

It is one of the first things I always intall [20:16] Silowyi: http://roundcube.net/download use that, dont use the 12.04 version [20:16] Silowyi: The new lib you're looking to install could break the software too, if that software depends on it.

Then run: dmesg | less and see what is happening with the wifi [20:17] I guess I already updated the Xorg....still broken :| [20:17] Silowyi: more danger then a software break is a hack on the system because of kernel exploits or something like that [20:17] What is the easiest way to mount a second hd on boot ?

I went straight to installing the GIMP, and now it doesn't work. According to console output it requires libgegl-0.0.so.0 [20:21] I am using Gnome though, will I run into any issues === Guest50139 is now known as Bogdaniel [20:22] rfrittmann, startx goes into kernel panic === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest49016 [20:22] Angel: so you don't even have a console prompt and text login option? [20:22] rfrittman: do an apt-get purge gimp from the command-line, then re-install gimp. [20:22] rfrittmann, i have a console, i can log in but nothing more than this :( [20:22] Heebie: thanks, I'll try that. [20:22] Angel: what is your graphics chipset? [20:23] rfrittmann, I'm useing another computer right now [20:23] rfrittmann: I would try to remove it via the software center, run the update manager to check for the latest packages, then install GIMP again via the software center.

How to bring it back? [20:24] hello [20:24] rfrittmann thanx :) [20:24] Angel: have you installed the fglrx driver or are you running the native radeon? [20:24] good night everyone [20:24] I have a wireless usb card (Zyxel G220 V3) with windows drivers. I've installed the device using ndiswrapper and I got it to work before. I'm trying to get it to recognize the device, but lsusb doesn't see it. In ndisgtk, the drivers are installed but it says the hardware is not present. Does anyone know of any ideas of how to fix this? [20:24] L3tops, downloaded and installed a couple of weeks ago the latest AMD Catalyst [20:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/963145/ [20:25] oscarpaats: not sure dude, sorry [20:25] should I upgrade Ubuntu 10.04 to try and fix my HDMI monitor problem? [20:25] actionparsnip: No prob. Will reboot now. [20:25] L3tops, This driver is better in performance, also the fan spin slower; with the ubuntu driver it was alwais spinning at the top speed (so noisy). [20:26] angel did u overclock? [20:26] jeppy: If you're on anything before 10.04 you might be SOL.. upgrade-support from versions earlier than 10.04 doesn't exist anymore. [20:27] Yes, you will have much improved performance with the fglrx... We will need to backup... when did things stop working? I just saw that if you tried to startx you got a kernel panic [20:27] L3killtrace, no I didn't [20:27] i just installed ubuntu arm onto my android phone yesterday and i was having so much fun using it but now i have run into a situation...i didn't realize that i installed it onto my internal harddrive for my phone and not onto my sdcard because for my phone (android bionic) the internal harddrive is /mnt/sdcard and the sdcard is /mnt/sdcard-ext now what i am wondering is if i move the ubuntu.sh shell script and the ubuntu.img file over to my sdcard will ever [20:27] Heebie: I am on 10.04 [20:28] Killtrace, with open driver the VGA fan goes like hell, but with proprietary driver (not installed from ubuntu but downloaded and installed from AMD site) It goes really quite. === ubuntu_ is now known as myhero [20:28] I have 2 pc and 1 lap-top running on ubuntu ultimate edition 3.2 it's on 11.10 oneric platform and I don't have one single prob....

[20:29] Docky does not work on 12.04 [20:29] alusion: do other docks work? [20:29] HDMI actually works well for monitors to do 1920x1080 (full HD) [20:29] L3tops, so please don't tell me that I have to fresh install... :( [20:30] That is the only one I use xD [20:30] alusion, you might like the cairo-dock [20:30] ubuntu masters, address my problem -_- [20:30] the larger 4.7gb dvd iso of ubuntu can be written on usb like lve usb or not ? [20:30] ActionParsnip i have sent you the pastebin? [20:30] alusion: I suggest you test, it may be an issue with compoziting, which would affect all docks. [20:30] I need you to backup and tell me when the problem began I only saw that trying to startx caused a kernel panic Angel [20:30] ActionParsnip: I use an onboard ATI Radeon HD 4200 [20:30] The last CD I used to install Ubuntu was 9.04.. I've just upgraded since. :) I've been very impressed with Canonical's upgrade support.. except if you let something go end of support before you upgrade.. then it's just borked. :( [20:30] any ideas why I don't have sound when I start game Sniper Elite? :) [20:31] alusion, as suggested as well check the compositing [20:31] the larger 4.7gb dvd iso of ubuntu can be written on usb like lve usb or not ?

[20:31] just go to skype site and download-it [20:31] hi, i want run lubuntu from console(because it don't open from ligthdm), i tried "X& export DISPLAY=:0" then "startlubuntu" but it don't work corrcetly only with "sudo startlubuntu" and when i tried to open plasma active with "startactive" i got this error "no write access to '/home//.ICEauthority'" and it works only on root mode. also i only have on my home folder for ".x* " files only: ".xscreensaver" and ".Xdefaults", how to fix it to run on non-root [20:31] mode?

[20:33] CJKay: yep, easiest way is to not buy systems with it [20:33] L3tops, i recieved updates...35MB more or less, then I restarted and no more DE :( I have seen a Xorg or X update in the list..maybe that is the problem? Also a lot of QT updates. [20:33] L3tops: Didn't work [20:34] I really don't understand why it's just broken so suddenly [20:34] myhero, should go on a usb if big enough unetbootin would be a choice I use another multibooter myself. [20:34] CJKay: could clean install [20:34] CJKay: if you create an xorg.conf you could probably manually set the BUS ID for the gpu you want to use.

I would uninstall the driver that you downloaded (I am assuming from AMD) following the instructions which came with, and sudo apt-get install fglrx [20:36] sandy19: sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.comf /etc/modprobe.d/myblacklist.conf [20:36] so...anyone know how handling of clicked links works in gnome apps? [20:36] sandy19: sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.save [20:36] CJKay: that IS very frustrating.

That's what Ironhide seems to look at [20:37] 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] 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] I put it into xorg.conf anyway just in case [20:37] i've purged mediatomb, so I can't quite figure this out [20:37] seems like some proxy setting or something [20:37] I am unfamiliar with ironhide... but throw them both up there..

[20:49] this one does work, if it boot on my other instance of ubuntu (same distro) it works [20:49] the idea is to get the working usb, to work again... [20:49] Is anyone there? [20:49] EuroNerd: the nouveau drivers don't have great power management capabilities, may suck more battery or overheat quicker [20:49] Nope, anything remotely graphics-intensive just crashes [20:50] EuroNerd: hard to really quantify by how much, they may work just fine for you though [20:50] XxArchangelz: [20:50] ThinkT510, are there any advantages to Nouveau, apart from "feeling good" that I'm using open-source. [20:50] EuroNerd: they have improved a lot over the years [20:51] I really could use some help, and nobody has even acknowledged me. [20:51] XxArchangelz: state the issue.

[21:32] acer-ubuntu: yes , but no help here :( [21:32] 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?

[21:41] thanks [21:42] RageRiot: np :) [21:42] 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] mohd: do you understand my problem?

[21:43] 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] okay thanks [21:43] ahh [21:43] acer-ubuntu: then , you need to change that in GRUB so that it'll automatically be appllied on each reboot . [21:43] dlight: np, thanks though [21:43] RageRiot: you can see this in action by enabling remote desktop and connecting up via vnc [21:44] 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] and then switching to the cli from the local machine [21:44] mohd: yes [21:44] 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] is there a torrent file for ubuntu 1204? the server is tooo slow !! [21:44] RageRiot: you can also use F2-F6 to get to a login like on ctrl+alt+F1 [21:44] I see . thanks [21:44] touches va [21:44] 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] arooni-mobile: using tmpfs eliminates a lot of that though [21:45] acer-ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#line-197 [21:45] BFranks: okay, i will try now [21:45] my keyboard stops working when i type tthat in [21:45] :/ [21:45] whats different between the alternate and desktop version of ubuntu??

[22:01] idk if u guys got this cuz im lagging like shit: why can't i say anything on the archlinux channel? [22:01] H474r1: try booting from a live cd/usb and fsck the hard disk. [22:01] how do i send messages on #archlinux? i think i need to register but i don't know how... [22:01] help plz... lightdm doesn't start upon locin. can "startx" [22:01] !fsck | H474r1 [22:01] H474r1: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [22:01] login* [22:01] mohd: i know its the way to set my default grub into nomodeset right? [22:01] acer-ubuntu: Right. [22:01] mohd: but what i need is not that [22:02] MikeLitoris: You have to register in Freenode [22:02] ah ok [22:02] Hi, how can I increase my number of workspaces from 4 to, say, 12, in precise pangolin? [22:02] mohd: i need my ubuntu can viewed in quiet splash [22:02] ms-daisy: Am kind of not getting you man I tell you something first and you put it in different letters like I dont know what am doing. I need to know why it is going to slow I know how to configure the virtual machine. But it so laggy on my computer.... [22:03] using multiple monitors, does anyone know how to remove the panel at the top from the screens other than the primary?

I guess i'm not getting the problem. So you have successfully installed it but it runs slowly? or you're trying to install the win 7 guest and the installation is slow? [22:05] acer-ubuntu: so , do the same from my last post , but add quiet splash ! [22:06] nannes: MikeLitoris that should not be a fake e-mail .. to recive a password reset you need a real one. [22:07] yh [22:07] MikeLitoris: /join #freenode [22:07] ok, let me try what u suggested [22:07] I've recently upgraded to 12.04 and my wireless connection keeps spamming me asking for a WEP key. Triple checked the key is correct, and the same settings worked fine in 11.10. Chipset is Atheros AR9285. Any advice? [22:07] is it possible to ssh into local machines after connecting to a VPN? [22:07] Lets try another shot on this ok. Am running Windows 7 on a virtual machine ok (Virtual Box) I have not installed the Windows 7 Yet I got to the Installion but it get laggy when I move the mouse. I have a HP 2000-369WM AMD Processor with 1.65GHz 4.0 RAM of Memmory amd 2 CORES in the Redion. I need to know if there is a way to adjust ubuntu to make the computer or something read or make it more responded to the virtual machine:) [22:07] MonkeyDust thats where i went firstly lol and the live cd files are missing or something lol [22:07] ms-daisy, Danaidh will be asking a wireless question (from ubuntu-beginners) if you could assist; I, alas could not.. :-( [22:07] Sidewinder, I just asked, thanks [22:08] ms-daisy, TIA.. [22:08] tbrown: how much memory did you allocate to the VM? How much memory is being used before and after you start up the VM in Virtualbox [22:08] ?/ [22:08] blah, evil keyboard [22:08] 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] RageRiot: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=startup+and+run+levels+on+linux [22:08] thanks [22:08] np XD [22:08] Heebie, do you mean switching that in the router settings? [22:08] !google > nannes [22:08] nannes, please see my private message [22:08] !boot | RageRiot [22:08] RageRiot: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [22:08] Danaidh: Yes.

[22:09] bum lol [22:09] thanks [22:09] Resistance, Instead of beating me up, perhaps you could assist Danaidh? [22:09] :-) [22:09] Resistance: I will see what the Memory uses of the computer wait for a min:) [22:09] Sidewinder: you assume i can answer the questions [22:09] bastidrazor: uhm typical ubuntu-user rule... ok np, Ubuntu is useful to prive windows of some users, too! :) [22:09] !ask > Sidewinder [22:09] Sidewinder, please see my private message [22:10] pay attention to the last part of that factoid [22:10] Resistance, You do appear, at first glance to be all knowing.. [22:10] 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] Sidewinder: omnipresent, perhaps. helpful with beginner level questions not pertaining to wireless networking, sometimes. all knowing? far from it. :P [22:10] Resistance, Just ignore me; Hebbie stepped in. :) [22:11] ugh, Danaidh you probably need driver help but I haven't wrapped my mind around the wireless 12.04 problems yet. Sorry Sidewinder. [22:11] Getting "Could not find kernel image: vesamenu.c32" when installing ubuntu 12.04 via usb [22:11] Danaidh: did you try rebooting the router? [22:11] any idea what I should do? [22:11] ms-daisy, Was worth a try.. [22:11] Resistance: Yes [22:11] Danaidh: They might have dropped support for WEP, or made it non-default or something. [22:11] 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] hmm [22:12] XxArchangelz: probably check the md5 of your ISO and/or recreate the usb(with possibly a new download of the iso). [22:12] Danaidh: are you sure its WEP-type keys? [22:12] XxArchangelz: This is typically because of cross versioning initrd. Use unetbootin instead of the startup disk creator [22:12] ms-daisy: That's what Googling seemed to suggest but I have no idea how to go about fiddling with the drivers [22:12] Danaidh: it could be WPA/WPA2-type keys [22:12] Okay [22:12] Resistance: It says WEP on the back of the router [22:12] 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] Then WEP, it is.. [22:12] 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 [22:13] 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] Resistance, I've also tried inputting it as a WPA and WPA2 just in case. Same problem. [22:13] tbrown: you may need to upgrade the amount of RAM in your system if you can === q0rban is now known as q-rban [22:13] wep is very hacked. If you are going to use security use security. wpa2 [22:13] Danaidh: then it could be a driver problem, but i'm not going to be able to help you there [22:14] is compiling the kernel a risky or disfult process? [22:14] 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] Danaidh: and as L3tops says, WPA/WPA2 keys are better security [22:14] RageRiot: yes on both counts. [22:14] so you might talk to your flatmate about changing the key type to WPA2 [22:14] Resistance: Okay I see what you mean about the swap: Total is 3688 how do I fix it [22:15] hmm. probably going to sound like a silly question but why does it require a recompile of the kernel for certain things? [22:15] 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] Resistance: I would talk to him but he's a luddite and would just whinge about change. I dunno. [22:15] Resistance: Okay I see what you mean about the swap: Total is 3688 how do I fix it [22:15] 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] RageRiot: Very few things in Ubuntu should cause you to need to compile the kernel. [22:15] tbrown: repeating yourself doesn't help you know [22:15] tbrown: i have other channels to attend to as well :P [22:15] s/attend/tend/ [22:15] 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. [22:16] Any advice on where to ask for a wireless driver issue on 12.04 then? [22:16] RageRiot: what "things" are requiring a kernel recompile? [22:16] RageRiot: you really should only need that if you have some "unique" hardware that requires ummm exotic? drivers. [22:16] Resistance, That's easy for you to say. :-) [22:16] Danaidh: this'd be the place, but meh [22:16] Sidewinder: hm? [22:16] this page says to compile the kernel http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Cx88_devices_%28cx2388x%29 [22:16] 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] Danaidh: have you asked on ubuntuforums.org? [22:17] I have another Qesthion how do I lower the memory usage on my computer:( [22:17] Resistance, Just joking; nevermind. I'll shut up, now. [22:17] stiltzkin: not sure why it is not starting, but you might: export DISPLAY=:0 startx [22:17] Danaidh: i'd suggest asking on ubuntuforums.org or askubuntu.com [22:17] 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] 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] Danaidh: let me see what I can do. [22:18] Heebie, I've been looking at dmesg, I don't see anything out of the ordinary... [22:18] 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? [22:20] 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] No, that doesn't sound good at all [22:20] 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] Heebie, also "init: friendly-recovery post-stop process (931) terminated with status 1" [22:21] 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] ok [22:21] Heebie, I should also stress that this is a completely fresh install, I have not modified anything. 12.04 x86_64 [22:21] stiltzkin: sorry, you can either separate those commands or drop the word export. [22:21] How old is the hardware.. or how new, stiltzkin? [22:21] RageRiot: hard to be more specific I don't know the specific hardware, so that's a "best guess". :) [22:22] ok [22:22] Heebie, fairly new...Sony Vaio VGN FW series, 2009. I've run Ubuntu on it ever since I bought it.

[22:25] Nice haha [22:25] I was wondering does anyone know how I can install AMD Mobility radeon on ubuntu:) [22:25] XxArchangelz: so you are in the install menu, at the gparted window, and you cannot dropdown the target drive to the appropriate one? === sebuba is now known as Guest62146 [22:25] Im before all of that [22:26] maheanuu: what specifically do you want to know about that output? [22:26] L3tops, shouldn't I not have to do that though? This card has always been well-supported by the generic drivers (and now Nouveau, I believe) [22:26] Thx all [22:26] Im at the screen right after the language selection where it checks if im connected to the internet and have enough drive space [22:26] nouveau is nvidia stiltzkin... no you shouldnt... I was just making a suggestion [22:26] If it tells me why I cannot see the media I inserted into the drive [22:27] deufrai, I can't reproduce that bug [22:27] besides from "aptitude why", what's the apt-get alternative?

Point being this has always worked without issue before. Since ~9.04 [22:28] The disk that is loaded is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Boot and it cannot be read from the boot startup with the CD being set as the 1st boot device [22:28] anyone familiar with graphics drivers and such? and or mac hardware? [22:28] maheanuu: nope, all i can see is that your /dev/cdrom is a symbolic link to sr0, and you have no printer attached/on and your networkcard started. heh [22:28] Draton: this 12.04 is running inside a VMware VM with the latest VMware tools. Gonna update hte report accordingly [22:29] Does anyone know how I can Install the right Drivers of AMD mobility Radeion on Ubuntu:) Please I dont know how to install drivers on ubuntu lol am new to this stuff [22:29] stiltzkin: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-radeon [22:29] Doesnt seem to do anything tops [22:29] just updated, light dm does NOT work, I can startx... help [22:29] XxArchangelz: do you see the drives there [22:29] Just brings me to the next line [22:29] Nope [22:29] I want to know if there is info on why i am not seeing any media that I am trying to read or copy, this started 2 days ago when I burned 2 Ubuntu Disks for give away and the second one didn't burn as there was a message "No Media" [22:29] eh? [22:29] fdisk -l returns NOTHING? [22:30] Yeah its odd [22:30] maheanuu: there is nothing related to that in the pastebin you posted. [22:30] fdisk -l returns nothing for me except in root [22:30] Wylde, do you have any ideas on how I should be trying to troubleshoot this problem? [22:30] fdisk -l returning nothing suggests that you either don't have a driver for the RAID/SATA/SAS controller in your machine loaded, or you have the wrong one loaded. [22:31] doh! [22:31] maheanuu: does your optical drive read other disks correctly? [22:31] deufrai, that would do it: running it native here.

Especially since I installed while connected to the Internet. To install this I'll have to connect to WiFi via commandline though - I have no idea how to do that. [22:33] maheanuu: DOA hardware happens sometimes. I'd have to agree that it's most likely the hardware. [22:33] wylde,At present it reads nothing I have tried every disk I can think of and after 3 days of sorting through over a hundred disks with the same "No Media" I am of the mind that the drive is bad but I just bought it on friday and it worked fine [22:33] It should be stiltzkin. It is part of the xorg all package... which I believe is installed by default. I do not have an answer why. === s1m is now known as sary [22:34] maheanuu: I'd blame a faulty drive too.

I'll see if I can try to connect to wifi. Looks like it involves wpa_supplicant scripts <_< [22:35] but nothing seemingly useful [22:35] RageRiot: I didn't mean to insult, sorry if this was the impression.

I'm using a Macbook pro 2,1 with refit [22:35] np then [22:35] I should have said as far as parts go, repairs I have been doing myself since the 50's [22:36] it's just I've always had a bit of that attitude with other people that dont look first but I gnerally spend hours in front of google before asking in here [22:37] qubit[0|1]: more generic question, any chance you know how to make something not autostart (in 'service whatever', dunno how to use upstart) [22:37] appologies if I sound rude now. [22:37] hi [22:37] maheanuu: sorry to hear that, but from what you describe, it definately sounds like faulty hardware.
