[00:00] <diverdude> How can i merge all pdf's in a dir into a single pdf?
[00:01] <violinappren> whoever: how did you install virtualbox?
[00:01] <killswitch_> I'm wanting to change the box predefined text: [username] to something like [agent] at my login screen in ubuntu 12.04. how would I do this? anyone?
[00:01] <ring0> diverdude, pdftk i suppose
[00:01] <whoever> violinappren: the vbox interface launches, i get the erroor when i try to start a vm
[00:02] <violinappren> whoever: it seems to have been renamed to: /etc/init.d/virtualbox
[00:02] <meganerd> diverdude: gs
[00:03] <easypie> does the line in this syslog w/ a number 10 represent error on line 10?  init: /etc/init/amacharms.conf:10: Unknown stanza
[00:03] <alankila> easypie: yeah, file:line is normal convention
[00:03] <diverdude> ring0: when i do pdftk *.pdf i get error
[00:03] <whoever> violinappren: thx prob solved
[00:03] <alankila> whether line 10 is accurate is another matter because parsing errors may happen early and be detected only much later
[00:03] <whoever> it was restart not setup
[00:04] <killswitch_> come on.... why does no one help me?
[00:04] <killswitch_> I mean seriously.
[00:05] <_Marcus> killswitch_: What is the problem that you are having?
[00:05] <killswitch_> I'm wanting to change the box predefined text: [username] to something like [agent] at my login screen in ubuntu 12.04. how would I do this? anyone?
[00:05] <wylde> !patience | killswitch_
[00:05] <killswitch_> that is my issue
[00:05] <meganerd> killswitch_: you have not been very specific, GUI login (which one, kdm, gdm, lightdm), or console?
[00:05] <violinappren> trailblazerz11: try: sudo apt-get autoremove --force-depends libqt4-designer
[00:06] <killswitch_> lightdm
[00:06] <violinappren> whoever: np
[00:06] <shape> Hello, I ran the command apport-collect and in the window "Send problem report to the developers" it freezes and only the loading star/ as if it's loading, appears. Should I click send anyway?
[00:06] <killswitch_> Marcus_ Lightdm.... and I have tried searching the forums...
[00:06] <meganerd> killswitch_: OK, can't really help because I don't use it
[00:06] <_Marcus> killswitch_: I don't use it either, sorry :(
[00:06] <ring0> diverdude, you need to use coreect syntax
[00:06] <trism> diverdude: pdftk *.pdf output combined_name.pdf
[00:07] <killswitch_> well, how would you do it?
[00:07] <violinappren> shape: wait on it for a bit?
[00:07] <killswitch_> and what login are you using?
[00:07] <trent_> I think ubunto hate me lol
[00:07] <meganerd> killswitch_: I would start by googling customize lightdm
[00:07] <trailblazerz11> violinappren: returns not understood. enter that as one line right?
[00:07] <killswitch_> (maybe I can find a way to.... work around it, using how you would do it?
[00:07] <ring0> trism, no cat? :)
[00:07] <shape> violinappren, It's been 5 minutes already, how long should I wait?
[00:07] <Resistance> trent_:  did you enable the universe repository?
[00:07] <shape> violinappren, it looks like it's frozen and nothing is happening in system monitor
[00:08] <killswitch_> thx meganerd
[00:08] <Resistance> trent_:  ia32-libs-multiarch, the package which installs 32bit libraries on a 64bit system, exists in the universe repository
[00:08] <trent_> Resistance i dont think so ive never heard of it
[00:08] <meganerd> killswitch_: you probably want to create a theme.  I did this with kdm a long time ago
[00:08] <violinappren> shape: hmm
[00:09] <killswitch_> all I get is customize appearance, backgrounds, etc.... um,
[00:09] <trent_> Resistance how do i di that?
[00:09] <trism> ring0: I think cat is assumed when you don't specify
[00:09] <killswitch_> I changed the wallpaper of the bg
[00:09] <Resistance> trent_:  one sec
[00:09] <trent_> thanks man
[00:09] <killswitch_> and turned the auto wallpaper trasitioning off,
[00:09] <violinappren> trailblazerz11: dpkg --purge --force-depends libqt4-designer:i386
[00:09] <killswitch_> and turned off the guest acct.
[00:09] <killswitch_> and turned off the users list.
[00:09] <violinappren> trailblazerz11: with sudo
[00:09] <zippy314> Hi.  Where do I find the error log for the unity launcher (12.04) i.e. I have an icon that when clicked on doesn't launch the app, and I'd like to see the log file to diagnose the problem.
[00:10] <meganerd> killswitch_: background is probably a good start.  I am not sure how lightdm does it, but I seem to remember putting it in a background image
[00:10] <aguitel> how upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 in command line ?
[00:10] <Brustofski-Fan> Is this a gnome-player problem or all mplayer frontends.. Multimedia keys.. And Keyboard short cut keys N and V not working ?
[00:10] <ring0> trism, alright
[00:10] <Ben64> aguitel: sudo do-release-upgrade
[00:10] <killswitch_> meganerd light dm usually takes the wall paper from the desktop and throws it into the login screen. I disabled something in the photo I'm using for my bg,
[00:10] <shape> violinappren, It seems like it worked "as in, it uploaded the log
[00:11] <aguitel> Ben64, it say: no upgrade found
[00:11] <killswitch_> meganered then I used ubuntu tweak to change the wall paper, and had to edit the lightdm.conf file to turn off the guest and user list.
[00:11] <violinappren> shape: ok then, check the bug?
[00:11] <killswitch_> as far as changing the pre-defined text.... I've searched forums, google, and come up with blanks..
[00:12] <aguitel> Ben64, it say: No new release found
[00:12] <trailblazerz11> violinappren: think that worked, took a couple off the unmet dependecies, just do it again with others?
[00:12] <Ben64> aguitel: i guess the upgrade isn't recommended yet. you can still do it with sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[00:12] <meganerd> from the little I saw, /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf might be useful depending on the version of Ubuntu.
[00:13] <violinappren> trailblazerz11: what remains?
[00:13] <aguitel> Ben64, it works
[00:13] <diverdude> Is there some way to replace h with hk in all files in a directory?
[00:13] <killswitch_> 12.04 lts
[00:13] <meganerd> killswitch_: if you are unlucky then it is coded into the app.
[00:13] <trailblazerz11> violinappren: libqt4-qt3support:i386
[00:13] <violinappren> !sed | diverdude
[00:13] <diverdude> violinappren: haha sure
[00:14] <killswitch_> unity greeter does not exist in /etc/lightdm
[00:14] <diverdude> violinappren: and the terminal has 100000000000000000 commands
[00:14] <Resistance> so what's gnome-shell show up as in the sessions list at the login screen?
[00:14] <meganerd> killswitch_: the page I saw was for 11.10
[00:14] <killswitch_> okay.
[00:14] <violinappren> diverdude: my bad, i thought it would be more specific, check http://www.brunolinux.com/02-The_Terminal/Find_and%20Replace_with_Sed.html
[00:15] <violinappren> diverdude: sed is a unix tool
[00:15] <killswitch_> this is my light dm .conf (after modifications mentioned above: [SeatDefaults]
[00:15] <killswitch_> user-session=ubuntu
[00:15] <killswitch_> greeter-session=unity-greeter
[00:15] <killswitch_> greeter-hide-users=true
[00:15] <killswitch_> allow-guest=false
[00:15] <FloodBot1> killswitch_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:15] <Resistance> !pastebin | killswitch_
[00:16] <wizonesolutions> Anyone know a forum post or what have you I could read to solve the issue where I can't install the updated fglrx drivers
[00:16] <trism> killswitch_: you would need to recompile unity-greeter to change that text
[00:16] <killswitch_> is there an easier way to do this trism?
[00:16] <wizonesolutions> ?
[00:17] <wizonesolutions> I got this in 11.10 too
[00:17] <wizonesolutions> AMD graphics card
[00:17] <trailblazerz11> violinappren: Did the same thing with that and ran apt-get install -f  and im fine now. thank you very much!!
[00:17] <violinappren> trailblazerz11: you're welcome :)
[00:17] <hdpb> I can no longer get skype video using "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype" in 64-bit. any solutions?
[00:18] <Resistance> trent_:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179  except where it says 'warty' in what you need to change, replace 'warty' with 'precise'
[00:18] <Resistance> trent_:  that'll enable the universe repository, then you can install ia32-libs-multiarch
[00:18] <violinappren> hdpb: does it exist? check the output of: file /usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
[00:19] <wizonesolutions> whooooa warty, that brings back memories
[00:19] <Resistance> and after that, run that original command you stated, if it doesn't work, lemme know i can help you get the 32bit packages for certain versions of certain packages
[00:19] <trent_> Resistance thank you so much ill give it a try
[00:19] <Resistance> trent_:  and sorry for the delay, i'm active right now in about 10 other channels :P
[00:20] <trent_> Resistance no worries about that you rock man
[00:20] <trism> killswitch_: you would need to change the _("Username:") strings in src/unity-greeter.vala in the unity-greeter source and rebuild it (and/or change it in the po file for your locale, but I think it is easier the other way)
[00:20] <violinappren> hdpb: and btw, there are 64 bit version of skype, just enable the partner repository and install with apt-get
[00:21] <romulobr> hi, I'm having trouble with rails authentication on postsgre on ubuntu, is this the right place to ask for help?
[00:21] <killswitch_> where is /src
[00:21] <violinappren> romulobr: nope
[00:21] <killswitch_> ?
[00:21] <violinappren> killswitch_: no such a thing, what are you looking for?
[00:21] <trism> killswitch_: apt-get source unity-greeter;
[00:22] <killswitch_> quoted text: killswitch_: you would need to change the _("Username:") strings in src/unity-greeter.vala in the unity-greeter source and rebuild it ; where is /src?
[00:22] <Vuth> monkeydust ext 3 or ext4 is better
[00:22] <jrib> !source | killswitch_
[00:23] <bitplane> hi all, Skype install has messed up apt-get, something to do with i386 qt4 libraries on my x64 system
[00:23] <violinappren> killswitch_:  its not a directory stemming from root, it will be the source code files downloaded with apt-get source
[00:23] <killswitch_> okay, got the unity greeter with sudo... now what?
[00:23] <wylde> killswitch_: it's not really that hard. you just make a idrectory in your /home for the source like oo maybe /home/$USER/source , cd ~/source ,  apt-get source unity-greeter; sudo apt-get install build-essential; sudo apt-get build-dep unity-greeter; make your edits and re-compile.
[00:23] <michaela> http://paste.ubuntu.com/963600/
[00:23] <violinappren> bitplane: how did you install it?
[00:23] <bitplane> has anyone else seen this problem? the bug report says it's fixed, but my package manager is borked
[00:23] <bitplane> violinappren: from the deb package on their website
[00:24] <violinappren> bitplane: uninstall it, enable partner repository in software sources and install using apt-get
[00:24] <bitplane> it isn't installed. I have tons of broken i386 libs that are crying whenever I try to install anything
[00:25] <vicatcu> hi folks, I'm trying like hell to replace the openjdk of 12.04 with the sunjdk using these instruction
[00:25] <vicatcu> http://blog.flexion.org/2012/01/16/install-sun-java-6-jre-jdk-from-deb-packages/
[00:25] <killswitch_> so just so I'm clear, this will make /home/user/src unity greeter.vola or whatever it is....
[00:25] <killswitch_> then I open with text editor, make edit,
[00:25] <EvilResistance> vicatcu:  so what's the issue?
[00:25] <Vuth> http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/04/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-ubuntu-11-04/  please why do they have 2 ext4 drives and 1 ext2 drives? why not make them all ext4? isnt ext4 better? but on the ubuntu help website it asks u to ext3 instead
[00:25] <EvilResistance> !java | vicatcu
[00:25] <killswitch_> then run sudo make
[00:25] <killswitch_> and sudo make install?
[00:26] <violinappren> bitplane: pastebin
[00:26] <trism> killswitch_: no
[00:26] <killswitch_> or...?
[00:26] <EvilResistance> vicatcu:  i'd trust the community documentation over a random blog.
[00:26] <trent_> Resistance i dont see anything like that
[00:26] <escott> Vuth, ext4 is not necessary for small drives
[00:26] <trent_>  deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20120214.2)]/ luci$ # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution.  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted  ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/
[00:26] <zippy314> Hi.  Where do I find the error log for the unity launcher (12.04) i.e. I have an icon that when clicked on doesn't launch the app, and I'd like to see the log file to diagnose the problem.
[00:26] <Vuth> how about ext3? is ext4 better?
[00:27] <vicatcu> EvilResistance
[00:27] <escott> Vuth, in general terms ext3=ext3+journal and ext4=ext3+extents (efficient storage of large files)
[00:27] <EvilResistance> trent_:  pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:27] <killswitch_> okay found the unity greeter, now what?
[00:27] <vicatcu> EvilResistance: the "random blog" *is* the recommendation from the link you posted
[00:27] <trism> killswitch_: after running wylde's commands, and making your edits, rebuild the package with: debuild -uc -us -b; (you will also need devscripts and fakeroot)
[00:27] <michaela> http://paste.ubuntu.com/963600/
[00:27] <escott> Vuth, so /boot has no real advantage to being ext3 or ext4 because you (a) cant recover it because you havent booted and (b) you have no large files
[00:28] <hdpb> violinappren: I grabbed it from partner, but I still didn't have webcam vid so I tried the fix I had to use on Oneiric
[00:28] <violinappren> zippy314: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/FilingBugs
[00:28] <wizonesolutions> btrfs is pretty much not ready yet yeah?
[00:28] <vicatcu> EvilResistance: i.e. https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/blob/master/README.rst
[00:28] <bitplane> I might have fixed it, I just removed all the qt*:i386 stuff
[00:28] <gp5st1> is there anyway to have a package that requires "ruby" to install ruby 1.9 instead of 1.8?
[00:28] <Vuth> thanks escott
[00:28] <killswitch_> okay trism.... and if I login to my ubuntu distro as root user?
[00:28] <violinappren> hdpb: what was the output of the file command?
[00:28] <EvilResistance> vicatcu:  have you actually followed what it says?  if all else fails, do the "do it yourself" method
[00:28] <EvilResistance> or use Java 7
[00:28] <vicatcu> EvilResistance: anyway, when I run the script it crashes with a build error
[00:29] <wylde> killswitch_: you may find some useful inof at the following bot factoid
[00:29] <trism> killswitch_: no comments on that, besides it isn't a good idea
[00:29] <tarelerulz> Do any of you run xbmc?
[00:29] <violinappren> violinappren: you probably need to use the 64 but version of that library
[00:29] <wylde> !compile | killswitch_
[00:29] <vicatcu> EvilResistance, no i  didn't try the do it yourself method, I guess I'll try that
[00:29] <hdpb> violinappren: no such file...
[00:29] <zippy314> violinappren: thanks
[00:29] <reCAPTCHA> Hey all... so, it used to be that you could select places > connect to server in ubuntu to FTP. How do you do this now?
[00:30] <wylde> killswitch_: you don't need root to compile packages, and logging into ubuuntu as root is frowned upon at any rate.
[00:30] <killswitch_> which file do I need to edit?
[00:30] <wylde> ubuntu*
[00:30] <bitplane> tarelerulz: yes I do
[00:30] <loconut> hello, I upgraded to Precise and my Bluetooth indicator icon is missing on my account but is present when logged into other accounts
[00:30] <EvilResistance> vicatcu:  i'm not certain you need the JRE if you just get the JDK, but you might need them both (if you need the JDK and a JRE, just get the JDK first)
[00:30] <loconut> any ideas how to get it back?
[00:30] <killswitch_> I understand that but.... sometimes I need root for some things, and very very very seldom do I use it
[00:31] <vicatcu> EvilResistance, yea i like to get the JDK
[00:31] <violinappren> hdpb:  try with /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
[00:31] <wylde> killswitch_: that's what sudo and  sudo -i are for :)
[00:31] <vicatcu> why does oracle have to suck
[00:31] <EvilResistance> vicatcu:  then use the second part of the do it yourself method
[00:31] <tarelerulz> bitplane ,how to do you like it?
[00:31] <EvilResistance> vicatcu:  that's a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic or somewhere other than this channel.
[00:31] <violinappren> zippy314: you're welcome
[00:31] <killswitch_> I know wylde.... but I need root very seldom for gui stuffs
[00:32] <wylde> killswitch_: ahh then you start your gui apps with gksu :) hehe
[00:32] <killswitch_> what file do I need to edit in unity?
[00:32] <john38> How do you enable login sound
[00:32] <violinappren> reCAPTCHA: in file manager? ...
[00:32] <john38> on Precise
[00:32] <wylde> killswitch_: now I'm just being faceitious, there's ways to do all those tasks with out a root password is all I'm saying :)
[00:33] <killswitch_> I know....
[00:33] <violinappren> vicatcu:  EvilResistance: you don't need a JRE if you have a JDK
[00:33] <killswitch_> anyway... what file do I need to edit in unity?
[00:33] <hdpb> violinappren: "cannot be preloaded"
[00:33] <violinappren> hdpb: what's the output of: uname -a
[00:33] <EvilResistance> violinappren:  last i checked, no you dont, but i ran into a glitch where the JDK JRE never worked, so i had to install the JRE alongside
[00:33] <EvilResistance> (a while ago, but still)
[00:33] <DropkickMurphy> Is brasero  bluetooth burn ready?
[00:34] <DJ_XCON> Just installed Gnome Shell 12.04LTS on an EEE PC and for some reason the Min, Max, Close buttons do not show when windows are full screen (maximized), but when they are scaled down, the buttons show....what gives?
[00:34] <wylde> killswitch_:  hmm I think trism had said src/unity-greeter.vala
[00:34] <killswitch_> okay
[00:34] <trent_> EvilResistance is this something i can use drop box? ive never used paste bin there are 2 files in there

[00:35] <shadykhan> its not muted
[00:35] <EvilResistance> trent_:  /etc/apt/sources.list is the file i need the contents of, otherwise your  next question to the IRC channel is "How do I enable the Universe repository?"
[00:35] <violinappren> hdpb: what's the full message you got
 killswitch_: you would need to change the _("Username:") strings in src/unity-greeter.vala in the unity-greeter source and rebuild it (and/or change it in the po file for your locale, but I think it is easier the other way)
[00:35] <EvilResistance> (I don't use Precise yet, so i cant help you with that part via the GUI_
[00:35] <killswitch_> all "username" strings?
[00:35] <wylde> if'd have finished my irc logs script I could have grepped that from the irc logs online heh. >.<
[00:36] <hdpb> violinappren: only thing I chopped was the computer ID
[00:36] <wylde> killswitch_: You'll have to examine it a see what lines correspond to what you're doing. I don't have a copy of the source here in front of me.
[00:36] <trent_> <EvilResistance there is 2 folders in there ferramroberto-java-lucid.list and ferramroberto-java-lucid.list.save

[00:37] <hdpb> violinappren: oopsss.....
[00:37] <john38> escott, thats that disable sound..but i tried that webpage already it didnt work
[00:37] <escott> john38, didnt work in what way
[00:37] <trism> killswitch_: there are two instances you should change, but yes that is one (and use pastebin)
[00:37] <killswitch_> what's the other?
[00:38] <wylde> killswitch_:  .... hang on I'll grab the source, or trism knows! :P

[00:38] <john38> escott, i edited that file then went to startup applications it was checked already i unchecked it but still no sound when entering desktop
[00:39] <violinappren> hdpb: does it exist? try: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so

[00:39] <urlwolf> I have lost my virtual terminals
[00:39] <urlwolf> ctrl alt F1-F6 does nothing

[00:40] <urlwolf> no

[00:40] <killswitch_> so, like this trism?

[00:40] <urlwolf> I'm running kde, and nope, syssettings doesn't allow me to use ctrl alt F1 as shortcut
[00:40] <john38> escott, should i leave the file at True instead of False
[00:40] <violinappren> hdpb: sorry, use 'file' before the path

[00:40] <trism> killswitch_: yep
[00:41] <killswitch_> okay and the other line.... can't seem to find it....
[00:41] <escott> john38, if it is unchecked it is definitely not going to play. you can check the file that you edited and try to figure out what sound file it is supposed to play
[00:41] <john38> escott, ok
[00:42] <killswitch_> trism: this is my entire file (after that first edit) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/963626/
[00:42] <killswitch_> can you show me the other line to edit, please?
[00:42] <trism> killswitch_: line 530
[00:43] <killswitch_> *Starts counting.... 1, 2, 3 , 4....;*
[00:43] <trism> killswitch_: it shows the numbers in the pastebin
[00:43] <violinappren> hdpb: whats the output of: file /usr/bin/skype
[00:43] <killswitch_> oh...
[00:43] <john38> escott, im not very good at conf files ...should i change...NoDisplay=false to True
[00:44] <john38> escott, and X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false to True
[00:44] <killswitch_> do I need to edit another line for the password as well?
[00:44] <escott> john38, no the nodisplay thing is to make it not show up in gnome-session-properties. but that file should list a sound it is supposed to play
[00:44] <wylde> killswitch_: if you're using gedit you can turn on line numbers in preferences.
[00:44] <trism> killswitch_: no, unless you wanted to say something else
[00:44] <killswitch_> I do
[00:45] <OY1R> what can i do to speed up document viewer, it's slow, very slow.
[00:46] <tux___> does anyone know how to check the executable bit in wine?
[00:46] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: sorry didnt see your post, but yeah the top left only allows me to close the window
[00:46] <Vuth> i installed ubuntu alopngside windows and it wont boot up to ubuntu..i am on windows right now. am i able to find the ubuntu installation?
[00:46] <hdpb> violinappren: "ERROR: cannot open `usr/bin/skype' (No such file or directory)" but it is there...
[00:46] <violinappren> hdpb: you're missing the initial /
[00:46] <trent_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/963634/plain/
[00:46] <violinappren> hdpb: it's: /usr/bin/skype
[00:46] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: sorta hoping to see the buttons on the window when the window is maximized. Whats odd is that my desktop shows the buttons on maximized windows no problem!
[00:47] <trent_> EvilResistance> sorry it took so long
[00:47] <Hooloovoo> heya, anyone know what i should set my DISPLAY to in a terminal to connect to the x server i'm running?
[00:47] <killswitch_> show_prompt_cb (_("Password:") is this the line I need to edit?
[00:47] <trent_> hope thats what you want
[00:47] <Hooloovoo> well, what i wanna know if how to find out the address of my local x server.
[00:47] <killswitch_> awwweeee crap
[00:47] <Jordan_U> DJ_XCON: Can you provide a screenshot illustrating the problem?
[00:47] <killswitch_> access denied saving....
[00:47] <EvilResistance> trent_:  that wasnt what i asked you for.
[00:47] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | DJ_XCON
[00:48] <hdpb> violinappren: "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped"
[00:48] <EvilResistance> trent_:  the *FILE* I want is /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:48] <EvilResistance> trent_:  it IS a file
[00:48] <EvilResistance> there is also a sources.list.d directory, but it is not what i want
[00:48] <violinappren> hdpb: well it's 32 bit .. so try /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
[00:48] <pepee> urlwolf, tell people about the graphics driver
[00:48] <EvilResistance> trent_:  someone else may have to help you get universe enabled, i've got to run.
[00:48] <wylde> killswitch_: you got the source using sudo didn't you. heh. Save your edit elsewhere for now.
[00:48] <killswitch_> nnoooooooo
[00:48] <killswitch_> crap
[00:49] <wylde> killswitch_: save that to your home directory or somewhere you can write
[00:49] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: will try....just a minute
[00:49] <urlwolf> I lost access to VTs (ctrl alt F1-F6) since changing to nvidia drivers
[00:49] <killswitch_> too late now wylde
[00:49] <killswitch_> I x-ed it out, thinking I had copied it...
[00:50] <tux___> Hooloovoo: you could use nmap and look for anything responding on port 22
[00:50] <hdpb> violinappren: THANK YOU!!!! (for your patience and help!)
[00:50] <wylde> killswitch_: doh! For future reference, just apt-get source <packagename> :) , well at least you have a good idea where to look to find those lines again :)
[00:51] <urlwolf> pepee: thanks for your help so far, I think I'n giving up and going to bed
[00:51] <Hooloovoo> tux___: i'll explain a bit more in detail what i'm doing instead. could be that i'm doing it all is some craazy way. i've got a python script that uses webkitgtk. i need to give that script access to a z-server somehow so i installed it on my server.
[00:51] <Hooloovoo> tux___: x-server*
[00:51] <killswitch_> damn it .... using gksu nautilus
[00:51] <pepee> urlwolf, ahh k, gn8 :)
[00:52] <maxone> does mce remote work in ubuntu?
[00:52] <trent_> EvilResistance thank man pastebin is killing me
[00:52] <trent_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/963638/plain/
[00:53] <killswitch_> wtf...
[00:53] <killswitch_> grrrr this is angering me....
[00:53] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: when i click prnt scrn, the screen blinks but the program to save the image never pops up
[00:53] <vicsar> Hello i am runing sudo apt-get upgrade and get this error; dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 9309 package 'libpam0g-dev':  missing version E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[00:53] <trent_> can anyone help me get universe enabled,
[00:53] <vicsar> Can anyone point me to a solution... never seen thta before
[00:54] <tux___> Hooloovoo: ssh -XC {user}@{host} will allow X11 forwarding over ssh.  That's a bash command though.  You can call it from your python script.
[00:54] <vicsar> runing 10.04
[00:54] <wylde> killswitch_:  hehe well once you redo your edits, you can either sudo chown youruser:youruser /path/to/the/sourcefiles, then run debuild -us -uc or you'll have to use sudo to build.
[00:54] <Vuth> how do i uninstall ubuntu if i installed it alongside windows7??
[00:55] <Jordan_U> DJ_XCON: Odd, the same is happening with me.
[00:55] <wylde> be back in a bit, I needs me some coffee! :)
[00:55] <Hooloovoo> tux___: so i can do something like execute ssh -XC username@localhost at the top of my script?
[00:55] <tux___> Does anyone know how to set wine to check the executable bit rather than just running anything?
[00:56] <killswitch_> so it should now look like this, right? >> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/963645/
[00:57] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: Just imagined the nautilus window maximized without the min, max, closed buttons showing. Then you make that same window half the size, and the buttons suddenly show up.
[00:57] <adante> how do i start the control center in admin mode?
[00:57] <adante> or how do i make it so i can edit my network connections? the button is greyed out?
[00:57] <adante> i'm trying to follow this guidehttp://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/03/configure-permanent-static-ip-addresses-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[00:57] <Jordan_U> DJ_XCON: "gnome-screenshot -i" should work. (though IMHO so should gnome-screenshot without -i, I'm investigating that now).
[00:57] <wylde> killswitch_: I only looked at the one instance but yeah, I saw the one at line 385-388
[00:57] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: there is no setting for "hiding the buttons" on maximize
[00:58] <killswitch_> thought it was line 530?
[00:58] <killswitch_> ???
[00:58] <tux___> Hooloovoo: I think so, I've never done this from within python though.  that will certainly give you access to X11 software in your OS.  You'll have to set up a new terminal window with xterm if you want to run a display manager like gnome or kde through it though.
[00:58] <trism> killswitch_: looks good to me
[00:58] <killswitch_> awesome. now what?
[00:58] <Hooloovoo> tux___: i really don't care what shows up on the screen. the script just open a window, pulls some text then closes it.
[00:59] <killswitch_> debuild -us -uc as sudo?
[01:01] <vicsar> Hello i am runing sudo apt-get upgrade and get this error; dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 9309 package 'libpam0g-dev':  missing version E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[01:01] <vicsar> runing 10.04
[01:01] <vicsar> Can anyone point me to a solution... never seen thta before
[01:02] <Hooloovoo> tux___: aww, still won't let me connect.
[01:02] <killswitch_> now I would do sudo chown username:username /home/username/unity-greeter-0.2.8/src ?
[01:02] <killswitch_> then use debuild?
[01:02] <ring0> how do i remove the 'for purchase' category in software-center, so that i don't see the commercial programs anymore?
[01:02] <trism> killswitch_: would be better to fix the permissions and do it without sudo (you may also want to run: dch -i; and enter a changelog message so the deb isn't replaced when you upgrade)
[01:03] <Hooloovoo> tux___: if i log in to the server using the -XC flag the DISPLAY var is still not set
[01:03] <trism> killswitch_: you would have to include -R in the chown command
[01:03] <killswitch_> so how do I do this trism?
[01:03] <killswitch_> oh great
[01:03] <killswitch_> invalid operation --r
[01:03] <killswitch_> ??
[01:03] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: here is what I want it to look like: http://imagebin.org/210725
[01:03] <trism> killswitch_: uppercase and only 1 -
[01:03] <killswitch_> ??okay got it....
[01:04] <killswitch_> now that I did that... what?
[01:04] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: on the EEE PC, the buttons on the right, are gone....the title bar just extends the full width
[01:04] <tux___> Hooloovoo: This might help you http://jessenoller.com/2009/02/05/ssh-programming-with-paramiko-completely-different/.  Alternatively if you do something like: f = open  'ls src/python', mode 'r'
[01:04] <thisisjet> hello, If i download a library which I will compile from source, where is the standard directory to save to source to? (from a .deb package point of view, where would most libwhatever-dev packages reside once installed?)
[01:04] <tux___> * open ssh user@host if you can make do with just text
[01:05] <Jordan_U> DJ_XCON: I can't reproduce that here using GNOME3 on a Desktop system with Ubuntu 12.04.
[01:05] <trism> killswitch_: actually, the chown command should have been for /home/username/unity-greeter-0.2.8/
[01:05] <Hooloovoo> tux___: thanks =)
[01:05] <killswitch_> okay... sec
[01:05] <killswitch_> done
[01:05] <killswitch_> now run debuild?
[01:05] <trism> killswitch_: now make sure you are in that directory and run: debuild -uc -us -b
[01:05] <killswitch_> will that harm my current config?
[01:06] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: Yeah, it's like the system knows its a netbook and so it tries to preserve screen real estate by hiding the buttons
[01:06] <DJ_XCON> Jordan_U: thanks for trying....
[01:06] <trism> killswitch_: that will just build the package and deposit it in /home/username/
[01:06] <tux___> Hooloovoo: you're welcome
[01:06] <killswitch_> okay.... installing devscripts....
[01:06] <Brustofski-Fan> How do i go to videos folder on dev/sb
[01:06] <killswitch_> and after it's built then I restart?
[01:06] <Brustofski-Fan> sdb
[01:07] <killswitch_> or do I have to do sudo make and sudo make install?
[01:07] <escott> !checkinstall | killswitch_
[01:07] <trism> killswitch_: after you build the package, install it with: sudo dpkg -i package.deb
[01:07] <trism> killswitch_: don't use checkinstall, this source is already packaged
[01:08] <Brustofski-Fan> Trying to mplayer -playlist video.pls on dev/sdb
[01:09] <killswitch_> so after sudo debuild -uc -us -b i run sudo dpkg -i package.deb?
[01:09] <trism> killswitch_: no sudo
[01:09] <NFisher> Hi all! My Adobe flash-plugin crashes everytime i try to use it. Any suggestions (Ubuntu lucid newest versions of FF and FP)
[01:09] <trism> killswitch_: well sudo on the dpkg -i command, not debuild
[01:09] <killswitch_> okay.... and the package has it's own name or named package?
[01:09] <trism> killswitch_: it will be just like the unity-greeter package from the repos, except with your 4 changes
[01:10] <JayWalker_> so what happens on the LTS point releases (eg. 12.04.1)? bug fixes and solutions for common problems?
[01:10] <uBUXUBu> NFisher, have you triedchromium?
[01:10] <BlackAngelPR> i still had mounting problems :P
[01:11] <sk1special> anyone want to help me make the people in my online sreaming youtube vids not look like smurfs?
[01:11] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, no
[01:11] <killswitch_> so dpkg -i with sudo?
[01:11] <trism> killswitch_: did you already build the package?
[01:11] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, it should work with FF as well
[01:11] <killswitch_> yes
[01:11] <uBUXUBu> NFisher, yes, just an option
[01:11] <vicsar> Hello i am runing sudo apt-get upgrade and get this error; dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 9309 package 'libpam0g-dev':  missing version E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[01:11] <vicsar> Can anyone point me to a solution... never seen thta before
[01:12] <vicsar> runing 10.04
[01:12] <trism> killswitch_: then cd ..; and sudo dpkg -i unity-greeter*.deb;
[01:12] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, yeah, thx anyways.
[01:12] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, yeah, thx anyways...
[01:12] <killswitch_> cd to the Home folder, right?
[01:12] <BlackAngelPR> its best to do a fresh install in your case ,,, at least my sincere opinion
[01:12] <trism> killswitch_: yes
[01:12] <Dav1dMRC> sk1special, try to disable the hardware acceleration right clicking the flash video and clicking on the configuration button.
[01:12] <smw_> Hi all, does anyone know if it is possible to make pulse audio mute all programs unless I specifically give them sound?
[01:12] <killswitch_> okay
[01:12] <quidnunc> Disk utilization is very high for a process on my machine. How can I tell which files it is accessing?
[01:13] <smw_> I can control sound per program, but I have yet to figure out how to automute them
[01:13] <uBUXUBu> NFisher, what os-version are you on? is ff up to date? is the os up to date?
[01:13] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, (crashes in Google Chrome too)
[01:13] <killswitch_> and now after that?
[01:14] <tucemiux> is it worth the upgrade? anyone here upgraded yet?
[01:14] <killswitch_> reboot?
[01:14] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, everything latest versions and updated .. imm on 10.4 LTS
[01:14] <sk1special> @ david. its not even letting me click anywhere on that box
[01:14] <BlackAngelPR> i had upgrade it and so far it is running way more faster
[01:14] <BlackAngelPR> i like it
[01:14] <tux___> vicsar: will it allow you to install anything at all?
[01:14] <oldskoolubuntu> Hello everyone! I'm currently using 10.04 LTS. What's the real benefit to upgrading to 12.04?? What features am I missing that you guys find useful?
[01:14] <sk1special> ( the flash player settings box)
[01:14] <killswitch_> now I reboot Trism?
[01:15] <JayWalker_> tucemiux, depends on a lot really. some people have great success, some (myself included) are having lots of problems
[01:15] <BlackAngelPR> LTS 5 Years updates
[01:15] <spartan2276> How can I enable the config buttons that I set for my Wacom tablet?
[01:15] <BlackAngelPR> main reason Oldsloll ...
[01:15] <spartan2276> I mean I set the buttons through the GUI but it does not seem to work, I'm I missing something?
[01:15] <Dav1dMRC> sk1special, that happens, try to switch to unity 2d, here that allowed me to click on the check box.
[01:15] <escott> oldskoolubuntu, unity
[01:15] <trism> killswitch_: you don't have to reboot, you can logout, ctrl+alt+f1 login and run: sudo restart lightdm;
[01:15] <trism> killswitch_: actually
[01:15] <killswitch_> okay....
[01:15] <sk1special> can i then switch back? and how do i do that?
[01:15] <trism> killswitch_: you may just need to logout
[01:16] <tucemiux> JayWalker_, well basically - what is it that you like about the upgrade the most? and what is it you dont like??  the last upgrade broke my startup and ubuntu cries about configuring the network card when booting up
[01:16] <uBUXUBu> NFisher, i ssume your hardware is up to spec?
[01:16] <uBUXUBu> assume*
[01:16] <oldskoolubuntu> escott, what is the real benefit to unity besides the "look"?
[01:17] <BlackAngelPR> 5 year support = stable stable and more secure
[01:17] <escott> oldskoolubuntu, its a completely different environment
[01:17] <JayWalker_> tucemiux, the installer is nice. beyond that, I can't get nvidia drivers working properly for 3d acceleration, and wifi doesn't work either. so I haven't really gotten a chance to "experience" it in a good light
[01:17] <BlackAngelPR> you still can use the old look if you want
[01:17] <xangua> oldskoolubuntu: latest kernel, programs, security updates https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop
[01:17] <tucemiux> JayWalker_, what nvidia card youve got?
[01:17] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, what does 'up to spec' mean?
[01:17] <JayWalker_> tucemiux, Geforce go 6150. It's in my laptop.
[01:18] <tucemiux> JayWalker_, ok that's not the laptop I've got, im going to be adventerous and go for the upgrade then
[01:18] <Brustofski-Fan> ? how do i point terminal to /dev/sdb
[01:18] <uBUXUBu> well do you have enough resources cpu, graphics, ram...are you light on any of that?
[01:18] <killswitch_> trism.... you're amazing
[01:18] <escott> Brustofski-Fan, that doesn't even make sense
[01:18] <JayWalker_> tucemiux, just remember to back up all your dataz :p
[01:19] <Dav1dMRC> sk1special, sure, just click on the button on the superior right corner at the top bar and then click on the "close session"(sorry my ubuntu is brazilian portuguese, but is something like that) then on the login screen there is a button right next your login to change the desktop, select unity 2d change the flash player and then repeat the process to go back to unity 3d
[01:19] <trism> killswitch_: so it is all working?
[01:19] <killswitch_> yes
[01:19] <trism> killswitch_: excellent
[01:19] <killswitch_> thank you so much
[01:19] <trism> killswitch_: no problem
[01:19] <tucemiux> JayWalker_, thanks for the info
[01:19] <killswitch_> see, I have an fbi image for a bg login pic
[01:19] <uBUXUBu> wow i cant scroll my screen back
[01:19] <tucemiux> is it normal nowadays to the updates without putting your password?
[01:20] <killswitch_> so, I'm trying to make it look as official as possible.... that way, no one will mess with my computer.
[01:20] <hangingclowns> i have a general unix question. Is there anyway to stop files from changing owners/groups when they are newly created inside of a directory?
[01:20] <killswitch_> :)
[01:20] <trism> killswitch_: nifty
[01:20] <Brustofski-Fan> escott, trying to command line mplayer...player -playlist videos.pls my videos and playlist are on my usb drive
[01:20]  * killswitch_ hugs trism
[01:20] <killswitch_> thank yoiu
[01:20] <killswitch_> *you
[01:20] <tux___> Brustofski-Fan: you need to mount the drive first
[01:21] <sk1special> @ david. allright ill try it thank ya
[01:21] <hangingclowns> When I do a bzr update, it changes the files to me as an owner and my group, but I want it to keep the original group and file permissions
[01:21] <Dav1dMRC> sk1special, ;)
[01:21] <uBUXUBu> NFisher, are you using proprietary drivers or open source?
[01:21] <Brustofski-Fan> it's mounted when you can open it right
[01:21] <tux___> Brustofski-Fan: try: mount -vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt  then you can access everything on it at /mnt
[01:22] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, nah, hardware is just fine.. i never ahd a problem with flash until recent updates from adobe
[01:22] <Brustofski-Fan> tux___, isn't mounted when it shows up all the time in nautilus
[01:22] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, prop.
[01:22] <jblp> Does anyone else find ati proprietary drivers performance horribly slugish?
[01:22] <innovmon_> Hi, I am using upstart with the rails Foreman gem - https://gist.github.com/2582347 here is the error. Permission denied - /etc/init/my-app.conf (Errno::EACCES)
[01:22] <killswitch_> and how do I force my ubuntu to lock an account if the password is entered wrong too many times?
[01:23] <tux___> Brusofski-Fan: not exactly.  Mounted means the contents of the drive is accessable by your operating system.  That includes the terminal.
[01:23] <scottamunga> Hey everybody.  I just wanted to ask if anybody has noticed visual glitches with precise? I have a compaq presario cq60615DX with precise 64 bit.  No proprietary drivers in use; integrated graphics is intel GMA 4500m.
[01:24] <scottamunga> I get visual glitches after logging in, and I'm getting them now while using the latest version of playonlinux
[01:24] <BlackAngelPR> playonlinux use wine to emulate windows if you have an integrated graphic verify your installed drivers :P
[01:24] <vectory__> hi, having 10.04 and firefox ppa since 0.6 i guess, im having troubles with flash now. it just disappeared after the last ff update to 12.0 :O does that still quallify for support?
[01:25] <uBUXUBu> NFisher, usually i install the proprietaryati driver on my machine but this time...since 1110 and even 1204 it wont install..so im using all open source and i cannot tell the difference visually so far.
[01:25] <L3top> I would install i965-va-driver if I were you scottamunga
[01:25] <NFisher> uBUXUBu, yeah, i can ;)
[01:25] <OY1R> q: how can i link Master PCM and LFE audio to one slider so i can use the volume controll on the inspiron 9400 ?
[01:26] <scottamunga> L3top, thanks so much! I was searching online, and I read somewhere that Intel released an opensource driver for my card, and I assumed that that's what I was using.
[01:26] <Brustofski-Fan> tux___, it's an ntfs drive... so replace vfat with ntfs
[01:26] <tucemiux> all the settings are gone, how do i upgrade?? o.O
[01:26] <OY1R> as is the volume control controls the master volume linear but the PCM and LFE are either on or of
[01:27] <L3top> scottamunga: the driver you are likely using is xserver-xorg-video-intel... that one, however opens up accelleration. It is a compliment, not a replacement
[01:27] <BlackAngelPR> tucemiux if you had 10.0X  could you try fresh install
[01:27] <tucemiux> BlackAngelPR, you mean i cant upgrade?
[01:28] <tucemiux> ive got onoeiric
[01:28] <tux___> Brustofski-Fan: ntfs or ntfs-3g, depending on whic you have installed
[01:28] <Brustofski-Fan> tux___, what ever got installed by default
[01:29] <L3top> I don't see why you couldnt upgrade
[01:29] <L3top> tucemiux:
[01:30] <tucemiux> how do i upgrade nowdays? the upgrade button is gonee!
[01:30] <killswitch_> how do I set my account lockout policy in ubuntu 12.04?
[01:30] <padhu> L3top: I installed ubuntu 11.10 & now graphics driver was installed. Thank you
[01:30] <vectory__> tucemiux: there is an option to hide the button, did you activate it and forgot?
[01:30] <L3top> np padhu. Glad to hear
[01:31] <tucemiux> vectory__, i didnt hide anything, it's gone along with a bunch of stuff, my software sources doesnt have it anymore
[01:31] <vectory__> tucemiux: doesnt have what anymore?
[01:31] <vectory__> the ubuntu repos?
[01:32] <NFisher> Is there an easy way to cut off the last 10 seconds of a mp3-file using the terminal?!
[01:32] <tucemiux> vectory__,  the "upgrade" button
[01:32] <tensorpudding> NFisher, maybe using sox
[01:33] <padhu> L3top: :-D
[01:33] <quidnunc> NFisher: Maybe look at docs for lame
[01:33] <BlackAngelPR> *Anyone had take any ubuntu official training and had a recommended one (^_^)
[01:33] <bazhang> !ot | BlackAngelPR
[01:33] <tensorpudding> NFisher, http://sox.sourceforge.net/
[01:33] <vectory__> tucemiux: that button and the oprion can be found in the update app, not the software sources app
[01:34] <Jordan_U> NFisher: What is your end goal? Do you have a lot of mp3s with 10 seconds of silence at the end?
[01:34] <vectory__> NFisher: using mencode or ffmpeg, but beware that are no light tools to get into
[01:34] <NFisher> Jordan_U, no i just derived an mp3 from a YT-Video which has some jingle-sound at the end
[01:35] <Jordan_U> NFisher: Then it's proabably much easier to use a GUI app like Audacity rather than trying to do this via the terminal.
[01:35] <NFisher> ..which i want to cut out obviously
[01:35] <sk1special> @david. that worked.. thank ya thank ya. but do i not want accelerated graphics  on because..theyre accelerated?
[01:35] <vectory__> NFisher: learn to google, it will tell you a ton of different ways to do that
[01:35] <NFisher> Jordan_U, ok ill do that then, thx
[01:35] <Jordan_U> NFisher: You're welcome.
[01:36] <sk1special> like is having that off gonna make my videos look way shittier
[01:36] <vectory__> Jordan_U: just wanted to mention audacity ;D
[01:36] <Dav1dMRC> sk1special, flash on linux is a very wild animal, sometimes just sucks, ok  most of the times ahahaha
[01:36] <NFisher> vectory__, thought there was an easy quick fix, sry
[01:36] <xangua> !language | sk1special
[01:37] <L3top> tucemiux: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install update-manager-core sudo do-release-upgrade -d        someone correct me if that is not accurate, I always do fresh installs.
[01:37] <L3top> tucemiux: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade -d someone correct me if that is not accurate, I always do fresh installs.
[01:37] <L3top> Sorry tucemiux, I was missing a semicolon
[01:37] <sk1special> yeah...nvidia is to from what i gathered getting my video card to work in the beginning . thanks tho.. im out . later
[01:38] <ntr0py> which are the langugage metapackets for gnome/unity/shell
[01:38] <Dav1dMRC> sk1special, no, doesn't change anything on the video: read this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_1_hardware_acceleration.html
[01:38] <tucemiux> i have to start the upgrade-manager from the command line, omg
[01:39] <ntr0py> there are tons of language packets, which are most toplevel metapackets?
[01:39] <tucemiux> my /etc/x11 is already borked, lets see what happens after an upgrade o.O
[01:39] <friskd> Hey guys, question about deploy single code base to 10+ servers. I have a bunch of cloud servers, every day i want to deploy code to them. The server #'s grow daily. Whats a nice way for me to deploy updates to all of them simultaneously
[01:40] <Optichip> was there an update today that changed the way apt-get install works by prompting for installation of non-signed packages?
[01:40] <wab> Would this be the place to ask Xubuntu questions?
[01:40] <Jordan_U> friskd: Is this code packages as .deb files?
[01:40] <ntr0py> how do i set language from terminal?
[01:41] <Optichip> export it in your .bashrc or whatever shell configuration you're using ntr0py
[01:41] <Jordan_U> Optichip: It's a common problem. "sudo apt-get update" should cause the error to go away.
[01:41] <rendero> how do i play listen2myradio videos in linux ?
[01:41] <killswitch_> can someone please tell me how to set up an account lockout on bad password entry x times?
[01:41] <Optichip> Thanks Jordan
[01:41] <killswitch_> in lightdm?
[01:42] <ntr0py> Optichip, which are the required toplevel meta-lang-packets for gnome?
[01:44] <anders_> how do i install ubuntu?
[01:44] <wab> my bad, found the xubuntu support chan

[01:53] <sarah> Hoping to get to some help with a wireless card in a HP mini 110.  BCM4312, pci.id 14e4:4315
[01:53] <Guest17469> hi all
[01:53] <killswitch_> where is pam_tally I can't find in ubuntu
[01:53] <L3top> !info language-support-de
[01:53] <bazhang> !broadcom | sarah have a read
[01:53] <EvilResistance> ntr0py:  make sure that doesn't require an additional repository or something to be included
[01:54] <sarah> thank you
[01:55] <killswitch_> someone please tell me how to get pam_tally....
[01:56] <bazhang> killswitch_, why do you need it
[01:56] <EvilResistance> !patience | killswitch_
[01:56] <EvilResistance> just for the record ;P
[01:56] <killswitch_> bazhang so I can enable my lockout policy in 12.04
[01:56] <killswitch_> :)
[01:57] <L3top> !info language-pack-de | ntr0py
[01:57] <bazhang> libpam-doc, libpam-modules, libpam-modules-bin    <---- killswitch_
[01:57] <killswitch_> thx
[01:57] <EvilResistance> ntr0py:  did you try sudo apt-get update, and then do sudo apt-get install language-pack-de
[01:57] <EvilResistance> ?
[01:58] <ntr0py> EvilResistance, L3top, http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/language-support-de seems to be discontinued?
[01:59] <ntr0py> EvilResistance, aah its called language-PACK-de now?
[01:59] <EvilResistance> ntr0py:  i believe so, yes
[01:59] <killswitch_> still can't find pam_tally
[02:00] <killswitch_> :(
[02:00] <escapeplan> Excuse me everyone, I'm looking for someone who has great skills in Jack Audio and VSTs in ubuntu
[02:01] <t0rx__> can anyone help me with changing my graphics card driver? I have a Intel GMA3600 and I'm trying to get Compiz working
[02:01] <bazhang> t0rx__, using a PPA?
[02:01] <wylde> killswitch_: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/pam_tally.8.html
[02:02] <bazhang> killswitch_, I told you where to find it
[02:02] <L3top> t0rx__: what version ubuntu
[02:02] <t0rx__> bazhang, I'm not now but can.
[02:02] <killswitch_> I did the sudo apt-get install but it's still missing bazhang...
[02:02] <killswitch_> thx wylde
[02:02] <SuperNoeMan> hey I'm on ubuntu 12.04, just upgraded from 11.10
[02:02] <wylde> killswitch_: it's provided by another package/s
[02:02] <SuperNoeMan> I was using lxde, and I switched to gnome to set something
[02:02] <SuperNoeMan> i can't see the panels,
[02:03] <SuperNoeMan> how can I start them?
[02:03] <t0rx__> L3top.  12.04.  I upgraded the kernel to 3.3.4 because I read it had GMA3600 support
[02:03] <killswitch_> do you know where I can get it wylde?
[02:03] <wylde> killswitch_: did you open that link i posted?
[02:03] <killswitch_> I did
[02:03] <wylde> killswitch_: it's in the top 2 lines....
[02:03] <L3top> t0rx__: sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver
[02:03] <killswitch_> okay... thx...
[02:03] <wylde> killswitch_: Provided By:
[02:04] <t0rx__> L3top, bzhang.  Currently it is using vesa and inxi reports I could use fbdev or intel. However they both hang X
[02:04] <killswitch_> I don't see any loc in the top 2 lines wylde
[02:04] <quidnunc> How do I get the progress of a running dpkg command?
[02:05] <t0rx__> L3top, do I need to make a customized xorg.conf after installing i965 or will a reboot detect it?
[02:05] <killswitch_> ohhh okay
[02:05] <killswitch_> thx wylde
[02:05] <wylde> killswitch_: did you actually read anything on the page?
[02:05] <killswitch_> (sorry, a little slow today)
[02:05] <killswitch_> I did Name: Synopsis... Descript...
[02:06] <L3top> t0rx__: I expect you will have to switch your Driver             "vesa" to intel, and confirm that apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel | grep Installed returns a version
[02:06] <wylde> killswitch_: the reverse I think, slow down and read :) I don't mind helping but all my children are grown and on their own. I don't have to spoon feed anyone anymore! :P lol
[02:06] <killswitch_> lol....
[02:07] <t0rx__> L3top, will that version come back after it is installed or once graphics are running with the intel driver?
[02:07] <L3top> t0rx__: the i965 is a graphics accelleration compliment, not a replacement driver.
[02:08] <t0rx__> L3top, ok I get this currently: Installed: 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4 (still running vesa right now)
[02:09] <Chris6692> Hi, can somebody help me? I'm in the process of upgrading to 12.04, but it's been stuck at the installation phase for over a day now. Would it be a bad idea to cancel the upgrade at this point?
[02:09] <killswitch_> so, wylde, do I have to get all of the built files or...?
[02:09] <L3top> t0rx__: that is what I would expect to see. I would install the i965, switch the driver to intel and reboot. This assumes you have an xorg.conf already to edit.
[02:09] <killswitch_> Chris6692: did you enable the networking, and select it to download the updates as it installs?
[02:09] <wylde> killswitch_: it's provided by the libpam-modules package. That is what you need to install.
[02:10] <killswitch_> okay, thank you wylde
[02:10] <L3top> Chris6692: What is it stuck on?
[02:10] <t0rx__> L3top, none to edit but would it be as simple as: X -configure and then changing "vesa" to "intel".  Or do I need to develop that config futher.
[02:10] <Chris6692> I did not. It's stuck on "Preparing libc6."
[02:10] <L3top> I would expect that to be it t0rx__
[02:10] <Chris6692> Also, I can't open applications or files, so the computer is pretty much unusable.
[02:10] <L3top> well... and copying it to the correct directory/name t0rx__
[02:11] <killswitch_> do I reboot after install wylde?
[02:11] <wylde> killswitch_: then read the man file or maybe have a search on the forums for how to configure it. I've never done it so I'll be little help there.
[02:11] <wylde> killswitch_: only if it tells you to. Which most don't, if unsure a logout alone might be enough.
[02:12] <killswitch_> okay
[02:12] <t0rx__> L3top, right.  Do I need a full reboot or just virtual term, kill lightdm, config update and start x again?
[02:12] <L3top> t0rx__: I reboot, but because I am lazy.
[02:13] <t0rx__> L3top, hehe, ok thanks.  I'm trying it now.  I'll report back.  Thanks for the help.
[02:14] <Chris6692> L3top: whoops, forgot to include your name. It's stuck on "Preparing libc6"
[02:14] <L3top> ew.
[02:15] <L3top> Chris6692: I believe you will have to interrupt it, regardless at this point. I would also backup my /home dir if it is not on another partition already.
[02:16] <L3top> Chris6692: can you ctrl alt f2 and use terminal or is it completely hung?
[02:17] <Jordan_U> Chris6692: Don't cancel the upgrade yet. First I would check what specific command is hung, hopefully determine why, and either fix it or kill that command and hope that the rest of the upgrade continues afterward.
[02:19] <frankcox767> howdy
[02:19] <killswitch_> my /etc/pam.d/system-auth is missing still
[02:19] <L3top> Chris6692: what Jordan_U said. I was going to tell you to ps aux | grep dpkg     there will probably be a process with a long string of stuff in it. Killing that process may stop the hang and continue the upgrade. Once it is finished you may have other steps to take, and another apt-get upgrade would probably be a good idea.
[02:19] <frankcox767> I installed ubuntu 12.04 and I cannot log in - it worked a few times
[02:19] <killswitch_> i have etc/pam.d but system-auth file isn't there wyle.
[02:20] <Chris6692> L3top and Jordan_U: Thanks
[02:20] <Jordan_U> Chris6692: You're welcome.
[02:22] <Jordan_U> Chris6692: L3top: I would avoid killing dpkg itself also, I would first simply look for the command using the most CPU (infinite loops tend to do that) and kill it. Don't kill it until you've checked with us here though.
[02:22] <frankcox767> can anyone tell me why ubuntu 12.04 would stop letting me log in
[02:22] <t0rx__> L3top, no dice.  X crashes when "intel" replaces "vesa"
[02:23] <t0rx__> L3top, Any other ideas?  here's the Xorg.0.log  http://paste.ubuntu.com/963750
[02:23] <megabitdragon> in 12.04 I move my home folder on a new partition but now the home directory is owned by root. I try to change the owner both as the current user and in recovery mode without any success. Any suggestions?
[02:25] <sfears> megabitdragon: "sudo chown username:username /path/to/file
[02:25] <megabitdragon> sfears, I tried that without any effect
[02:25] <chris__> when I lig out in 12.04 the desktop wallpaper is supposed to show up on the log in screen it worked once but doesnt now never change anything.  Anyone else having this problem?

[02:27] <luckybunny> hi folks. I uninstalled my nvidia driver (obtained from their site) a while ago, and opted for the jockey version... however, ever since doing so, I've had no GLX at all. I think the previous driver left some of itself behind. How can I fix this?

[02:35] <simplew> whats the installer that support root encryption?
[02:35] <L3top> yes luckybunny
[02:35] <nina666> hi, which channel should i join to ask my networking questions? (i.e setting up a whole network) sry to ask here, i really could not find the appropriate channel...
[02:35] <t0rx__> L3top, still the same after update-pciids.  When I ran the update it printed: Downloaded daily snapshot dated 2012-04-09 03:15:02
[02:35] <twoten210> pepee: I still have an orange led where it should be blue
[02:35] <pomeisl> i know, thx
[02:36] <bazhang> simplew, alternate cd, aka debian-installer if you mean lvm
[02:36] <L3top> same lspci t0rx__?
[02:36] <pepee> twoten210, yeah, I know. try removing NetworkManager and installing wicd
[02:36] <wylde> Onixs: how did you try to mount it?
[02:36] <luckybunny> any ideas on the nvidia thing?
[02:36] <ludkiller> hii all
[02:36] <Onixs> wylde : osx
[02:36] <t0rx__> L3top, yes, the same
[02:36] <twoten210> pepee: okay I'm on it
[02:36] <bazhang> nina666, ##networking
[02:36] <user3141592> Onixs: sounds like an osx issue, as the checksum is good
[02:37] <simplew> bazhang: url?
[02:37] <Onixs> user3141592 : make sense
[02:37] <wylde> Onixs: ahh alrighty, I can't help you there. Are you planning on installing it to HD? Virtual Machine? Making a boot cd/usb?
[02:37] <bazhang> !alternate | simplew here you are
[02:37] <twoten210> pepee: hmm, network manager is gnome and I'm on xfce
[02:38] <user3141592> luckybunny: have you used lsmod to see what modules get installed?
[02:38] <Onixs> wylde : HD.  i used my Mac to download it. tried mounting but failed. md5 is correct though… just have to burn and install it
[02:38] <pepee> twoten210, install wicd
[02:39] <luckybunny> user3141592: I'd get an NVIDIA module anyway, since I'm still using NVIDIA drivers, just no longer ones direct from their site
[02:39] <wylde> Onixs: yep I was going to suggest either burning it to disk or usb and seeing if it worked there since the md5 is fine.
[02:39] <Onixs> Alright… Thanks for the assistance :)
[02:40] <nina666> bazhang: thanks
[02:40] <simplew> bazhang: the one from torrent?
[02:41] <user3141592> luckybunny: ld can be used to see what it a program is linking to, check the GL file timestamps for an older one
[02:41] <patgizzy_> hey so i have a quick question.i just installed ubuntu and thereafter installed windows 7 and after a series of restarts , my computer suddenly lost power and when i got to power up my machine , i can't see anything.all i see is a blank screen
[02:41] <twoten210> pepee: okay it says the wicd daemon is running, now do I reboot?
[02:41] <bazhang> simplew, you want a torrent link? is that the nature of your query?
[02:42] <pepee> twoten210, nah. do you see a new icon somewhere? (the  wicd icon)
[02:42] <simplew> bazhang: no i want to download the intall to allow root encryption
[02:42] <twoten210> nope
[02:43] <ghost_> ghost
[02:43] <bazhang> simplew, so use the alternate cd
[02:43] <ghost_> how every one
[02:43] <twoten210> pepee: nope
[02:44] <pepee> twoten210, press alt+f2, type wicd-client
[02:44] <simplew> the alternates are: Text based isntaller, bittorrent and dvd
[02:44] <bazhang> simplew, no thats not correct
[02:45] <L3top> t0rx__: at this point I would look at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/+packages add that ppa, and run through their toys. Specifically the xserver-xorg-video-intel   the mesa and libva stuff... it doesn't look like intel-gpu-tools will be available... but I would check
[02:45] <simplew> so i cant find it
[02:45] <bazhang> simplew, the choices are alternate cd, live cd, minimal iso   ; from either http or torrent
[02:45] <mohd> I have just done an Upgrade to 12.04 , and apt-get update shows  http://paste.ubuntu.com/963776/
[02:45] <neyder_> hi there
[02:45] <L3top> t0rx__: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubuntu-x-swat
[02:46] <bazhang> http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969     <------ simplew
[02:46] <neyder_> i put do-release-upgrade, or update-manager -c -d, but both tells me that there is no new version
[02:46] <simplew> bazhang: where? url?
[02:46] <neyder_> i'm with 11.10
[02:46] <bazhang> simplew, I just showed you
[02:46] <simplew> ok
[02:46] <L3top> t0rx__: I am a bit confused as to why it won't even load though...
[02:47] <simplew> bazhang: but from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads isnt possible to access that
[02:48] <L3top> neyder_: do-release-upgrade -d
[02:48] <twoten210> pepee: I have the wicd tray icon, scan for wlan is grayed out and I still have an orange light on the hardware
[02:48] <bazhang> simplew, to access the torrent? or what. that link works fine for me
[02:48] <mohd> neyder_: have you checked the release notes
[02:48] <t0rx__> L3top, thanks.  So is the problem that my video driver ("intel") isn't working right?
[02:48] <bazhang> L3top, why the -d switch
[02:48] <pepee> twoten210, is a laptop, isn't it?
[02:48] <neyder_> L3mce, i'll try
[02:49] <neyder_> mohd, not yet, i'll do too
[02:49] <L3top> I am not sure why t0rx__... I would expect you to be working, if not working well.
[02:49] <bazhang> L3top, precise is already released
[02:49] <simplew> bazhang: and thats precise release? and yes i did said was a torrent
[02:49] <twoten210> pepee: yes a Compaq V6000
[02:49] <pepee> twoten210, does it have a button to enable wifi?
[02:49] <twoten210> pepee: yes, right next to an led
[02:49] <neyder_> !12.04
[02:49] <t0rx__> L3top, thanks I'll check out these links
[02:49] <bazhang> !torrents | simplew
[02:49] <L3top> bazhang: he said he could not find a release, so I assumed he was on 1004, precise will not show up till there is  a point releace
[02:49] <L3top> release*
[02:49] <pepee> twoten210, it should have two, actually... that one + the fn button
[02:50] <pepee> twoten210, press it
[02:50] <Num83rGuy> KDE's network manager will not auto-connect to my vpn on login or when there is a loss of network connection or loss of VPN connection. Does anyone know how to make my VPN connection stay on at all times?
[02:50] <simplew> bazhang: thats not the alternate isntall that allow root encryption
[02:50] <zF> hello
[02:50] <twoten210> pepee: fn button, what's that? I slide the switch back and forth but always orange never blue
[02:51] <pepee> twoten210, ahh k. press the wifi button
[02:51] <zF> i am trying to copy a file to windows and after chmod -R 0777 folder linux returns: chmod: Read-only file system
[02:51] <zF> Please help I am trying to remove lock on file
[02:51] <zF> time sensative
[02:51] <pepee> twoten210, then go to wicd again and press refresh
[02:51] <simplew> what a confusion
[02:52] <bazhang> simplew, no, I gave you the correct links
[02:52] <simplew> can anyone please tell me whats the install i need to download to allow /root encryption?
[02:52] <zF> bazhang:
[02:52] <zF> how can I make a file open to all users
[02:52] <neyder_> L3top, doesn't work
[02:52] <zF> I need to copy to windows
[02:53] <neyder_> mohd, i've installed oneric-updates always , i'm 64 bit but ot doesn't work
[02:53] <Trippler> Hey. I want to install kubuntu but am having a few issues. When I have booed the installer and press "Try kubuntu" the loading screen comes up and shows all icons loading but once they start fading it stops (75%ish faded) and hangs. The same thing happens when I try to do anything in the disk partitioning part of the installer (if I use any of the options the box that is supposed to be there...
[02:53] <Trippler> ...comes up with correct size but it hangs before it shows any content in the box). Anyone able to help? Thanks
[02:54] <pepee> twoten210, does it work?
[02:54] <L3top> zF: it seems as though windows was not properly shutdown. How are you connecting to the drive.
[02:54] <zF> L3top: makes sense
[02:54] <zF> I used the mount command
[02:54] <zF> L3top: I gave windows regular shutdown proecedure
[02:54] <simplew> bazhang: i thank your help but so far i still didnt understand whats the isntall i should get to allow root encryption
[02:54] <zF> L3top: I am just trying to remove the lock from a file
[02:55] <zF> so I can drag and drop it to windows like other files
[02:55] <zF> non protected
[02:55] <zF> any suggesstions before I log?
[02:55] <twoten210> pepee: not yet, but I have to recreate a connection profile so I'm syncing the wicd client to my wl router
[02:55] <ryanrhee90> hey guys
[02:55] <Num83rGuy> simplew: This link has deatails on full disk encryption for 11.04 should be the same for newer versions as well.
[02:56] <neyder_> nop, it's not the error, my system doesn't recognize any uprade or new versión
[02:56] <simplew> Num83rGuy: what link
[02:56] <L3top> zF: I am assuming that the drive you are copying to is throwing the error... can you please paste the exact error if it is one line, or pastebin if it is more?
[02:56] <Num83rGuy> simplew: oops hold on.
[02:57] <ryanrhee90> i'm trying to uprade python on my ubuntu server
[02:57] <ryanrhee90> i recently updated to 12.04 when this started happening
[02:57] <Num83rGuy> simplew: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/09/home-directory-and-full-disk-encryption-in-ubuntu-11-04/
[02:57] <ryanrhee90> it complains that it can't find the package "setuptools" eventhough apt says it's already installed"
[02:57] <ryanrhee90> so i think maybe it's b/c my python version is 2.5 but setuptools is a higher version?
[02:57] <mohd> neyder_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/125825/upgrading-lts-to-lts-server-why-wait-for-the-first-point-release
[02:57] <ryanrhee90> but when i do apt-get install python
[02:57] <L3top> !enter | ryanrhee90
[02:58] <ryanrhee90> i get this: libglib2.0-0: Breaks: gvfs (< 1.8) but 1.6.1-0ubuntu1build1 is to be installed
[02:58] <neyder_> mohd, i'm on my laptop, it's oneiric
[02:58] <ryanrhee90> L3mce: sorry haha
[02:58] <ryanrhee90> L3top: ._. oops. anyway. sorry.
[02:59] <simplew> Num83rGuy: i still dont know whats the install i should download
[02:59] <L3top> !info gvfs
[03:00] <mohd> neyder_: Ah, then check the release type in Update Manager > Settings .
[03:00] <twoten210> pewee: nope , no luck, I think I'm going to reboot
[03:00] <ryanrhee90> L3top: i tried uninstalling gvfs via apt-get, but it won't let me do it without installing python 2.7 with it
[03:00] <Num83rGuy> simplew: Let me find the link for the ISO
[03:00] <ryanrhee90> L3top: and i can't install python 2.7 b/c of gvfs
[03:00] <L3top> ryanrhee90: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade    does what?
[03:01] <ryanrhee90> just lists 220 packages that have been kept back
[03:01] <pepee> twoten210, wait
[03:01] <neyder_> strange it was in LTS, so the error that you mention is riht
[03:01] <twoten210> pepee: ok
[03:01] <neyder_> my system was waiting fo 12.04.1
[03:01] <pepee> twoten210, in the konsole type rfkill list
[03:01] <Num83rGuy> simplew: What CPU do you have?
[03:02] <neyder_> thanks mohd
[03:02] <L3top> ryanrhee90: you have something caught in the wayback machine preventing things from upgrading... I would try and figure out what. Something is pinned or something.
[03:02] <neyder_>  //i don't remeber when i changed this conf. :s
[03:02] <simplew> Num83rGuy: 64bits
[03:02] <simplew> i want a x86_64 iso
[03:03] <neyder_> so wainting for tomorrow, I have a local mirror
[03:03] <neyder_> in the work ... :)
[03:03] <ryanrhee90> L3top can you explain what you mean by "wayback machine" a little?
[03:03] <twoten210> pepee: I get hpwifi both soft and hard unblocked, and phy0 soft and hard unblocked - there's 2, should there be only one?
[03:03] <pepee> twoten210, no, it's all ok
[03:04] <pepee> twoten210, it should be working now :/
[03:04] <twoten210> pepee: oh
[03:04] <Num83rGuy> simplew: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads  Use the "alternate" ISO it has a text based installer. This is the one that allows full disk encryption.
[03:04] <L3top> ryanrhee90: I knew as soon as I hit enter that I shouldn't make up terms trying to give people support. I mean only what I explained afterwords... something is held in depends at a specific old version, which is preventing a lot of things from upgrading so as to not break it.
[03:04] <twoten210> pepee: I'll reboot and see if it comes up
[03:04] <pepee> twoten210, the hardware is recognized, and running fine. the problem is the software or your connection
[03:04] <simplew> Num83rGuy: ah i didnt knew that was the text based isntalled, i was already in that url, thanks :)
[03:05] <pepee> twoten210, ok
[03:05] <twoten210> pepee: gotcha! thanks so much!
[03:06] <Num83rGuy> So no one knows why openVPN will not auto connect?
[03:06] <ghost_> i just ugrade ubuntu 12.4 i tryed to use the vm wear for some reson it no working can you help
[03:06] <bazhang> ghost_, #vmware
[03:08] <ryanrhee90> L3top ah okay. would you know how to ask apt for a list of things that are pinned? I'm not aware of anything that's pinned down like that
[03:08] <bazhang> ryanrhee90, dist-upgrade would release those
[03:09] <b0ot> I'm going to be traveling internationally where there are heavily censored internets, are there any free tools here where I can setup a free vpn so I could get unrestricted internet abroad?
[03:09] <bazhang> !dist-upgrade | ryanrhee90
[03:09] <bazhang> b0ot, thats not an ubuntu issue
[03:09] <ryanrhee90> bazhang: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
[03:10] <bazhang> ryanrhee90, context?
[03:10] <L3top> ryanrhee90: for fun, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:10] <ryanrhee90> Sure. It asks me if I want to do: "219 upgraded, 213 newly installed, 14 to remove and 1 not upgraded." and then right as i hit "y", I get that error.
[03:10] <Num83rGuy> b0ot: I don't know about a free VPN but I know about a cheap one.
[03:10] <ryanrhee90> L3top: just did it. :/
[03:11] <ryanrhee90> L3top: I get " E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)"
[03:11] <L3top> ah... lol I see bazhang is ahead of me as usual
[03:11] <cg2916> I have tried 2 methods of creating a live USB (LiLi and Universal USB Installer) but both get stuck right at the beginning of booting
[03:12] <bazhang> cg2916, and unetbootin?
[03:12] <ryanrhee90> I've even tried doing "sudo apt-get remove gvfs", but I still get "E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)"
[03:12] <cg2916> bazhang, good idea...
[03:12] <oobiloz> Lol, I was gonna say unet too, works for me
[03:12] <wile-nilee> cg2916, is stuck a black screen?
[03:12] <ryanrhee90> I've tried taking that advice, and tried this: "sudo apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=apt python2.7-minimal" but I get this error: "The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[03:12] <ryanrhee90>   libglib2.0-0: Breaks: gvfs (< 1.8) but 1.6.1-0ubuntu1build1 is to be installed"
[03:13] <ryanrhee90>  
[03:13] <cg2916> wile-nilee, mostly black with the SYSLINUX "credits" header
[03:14] <plustax_> I have a quick question. I went into user accounts and changed password to none to give my laptop to a friend. Now when I try to go su or unlock the user accounts area neither my password or no password at all works anymore. What can I do?
[03:14] <plustax_> on 11.10
[03:15] <vexaxv> hey i have a question for you guys
[03:15] <wile-nilee> cg2916, hmm at times there are graphic card drivers that are not there and nomodeset is chosen from a f6 prompt at the try or install memory check gui, not sure that is your problem but thought it might help to know.
[03:15] <killswitch_> does anyone know how to set an extra password for login in 12.04?
[03:16] <killswitch_> lightdm
[03:16] <vexaxv> the fps has a noticeable difference from windows too linux no matter what gpu (is what ive come to understand) and im guessing its the drivers so whats up with this
[03:16] <Hickeroar> Hey all. I have a 640GB drive running windows 7. I'd like to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu. If I resize my windows (C) partition, and run the liveCD and install 12.04, will the installer detect window 7 and set me up a bootloader so I can choose OSs?
[03:16] <L3top> Well... ryanrhee90 what would be the harm in removing python2.7-minimal? I mean... at this point I would start uninstalling broken things until I could dist upgrade, making note of what I removed... I am not sure it is the best advice, so I keep hesitating to give it.
[03:16] <Hickeroar> or do I need to do that manually?
[03:16] <vexaxv> Hickeroar, it will but u have to do it manually
[03:16] <vexaxv> Hickeroar, just choose custom when you do partitioning on ubuntu
[03:16] <tLt> plustax_: bingoogle for 'linux root password recovery'
[03:16] <ludkiller> aint that linux uses an ext file system
[03:16] <vexaxv> Hickeroar, then set it up
[03:17] <ludkiller> maybe u should allocate some space
[03:17] <vexaxv> can someone help me figure out why the drivers cause such a fps drop from windows to ubuntu?
[03:17] <Hickeroar> vexaxv: So it is relatively straight forward as far as the bootloader goes?
[03:17] <wile-nilee> vexaxv, it is other or something other, and a custom install is not needed per say.
[03:17] <ryanrhee90> L3top: I don't have python 2.7. I /want/ python 2.7. I tried removing my current python, but it wouldn't let me: https://gist.github.com/3b1adb8f5dd1f33eb56d
[03:17] <vexaxv> Hickeroar, it used to give u an option to install the bootloader or not but i havent seen it latley just make sure you click anything u see advanced settings and try to find it
[03:18] <vexaxv> does anyone know whats up with my fps issue?!
[03:18] <Hickeroar> vexaxv: Thank you. I've done the whole thing manually a long time ago, but it's been several years, haha. I appreciate the help
[03:18] <Hickeroar> vexaxv++
[03:18] <L3top> ryanrhee90: dpkg --configure -a
[03:18] <Hickeroar> vexaxv haha apparently they dont support ++ here
[03:18] <vexaxv> Hickeroar, np  lol
[03:18] <vexaxv> Hickeroar, :P
[03:18] <ryanrhee90> L3top: did it. no output.
[03:19] <vexaxv> Hickeroar, but yeah it is pretty straight forward its just like installing windows when you do the partitioning so..like i said keep an eye out for the grub bootloader option its a bitch to remove it atleast it was for me
[03:19] <L3top> ryanrhee90: sudo apt-get -f install
[03:19] <ryanrhee90> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 220 not upgraded.
[03:19] <vexaxv> okay come on, you guys blind? anyone in here play games???
[03:20] <L3top> !patience | vexaxv
[03:20] <Hickeroar> vexaxv: roger that. I'll keep my eyes peeled
[03:20] <Hickeroar> thanks again
[03:20] <vexaxv> Hickeroar, k :P
[03:20] <tucemiux> omg it took a hour and a half just to DOWNLOAD the upgrades o.O
[03:20] <vexaxv> L3top, sorry im just anxious to figure this out
[03:21] <vexaxv> tucemiux, people might still be downloading 12.04, maybe the servers are still a lil loaded? i have no idea lol
[03:21] <tucemiux> when did 12.04 got released?
[03:22] <vexaxv> tucemiux, err..few days ago i think
[03:22] <wile-nilee> tucemiux, 4-26
[03:22] <vexaxv> so does anyone play games in here??
[03:22] <tucemiux> off course i do, UrT is for me, it runs on ubuntu
[03:22] <ryanrhee90> L3top: oops, didn't reference your username. apt-get -f install returned "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 220 not upgraded."
[03:22] <vexaxv> do u notice an fps drop from windows to ubuntu on the same rig?
[03:22] <L3top> !anyone | vexaxv
[03:23] <vexaxv> l3..no offense but ill ask however i want to ask withought being rude
[03:23] <L3top> vexaxv: you will receive less support not following the guidelines.
[03:23] <L3top> no offense.
[03:23] <vexaxv> L3top, okay..how do i ask then?
[03:23] <ghost_> my  vm ware is not working can i get some help
[03:24] <L3top> !details | vexaxv
[03:24] <bazhang> !ot | vexaxv
[03:24] <vexaxv> ookay ill retry
[03:24] <vexaxv> im running ubuntu 12.04 and i have ran windows 7 at the same time, when i play games..i notice i get better fps on windows than ubuntu, im guessing because of drivers.
[03:24] <vexaxv> does anybody know why?
[03:25] <vexaxv> hows that?
[03:25] <bazhang> vexaxv, using wine?
[03:25] <vexaxv> bazhang, no
[03:25] <ayebear> vexaxv: running compiz?
[03:25] <vexaxv> ayebear, yes it comes with 12.04
[03:25] <bazhang> vexaxv, which game. exact titles
[03:25] <vexaxv> bazhang, second life
[03:25] <ayebear> vexaxv: does the game use opengl on both windows and linux?
[03:25] <foobArrr> is there a general guide for getting hibernate to work?
[03:25] <L3top> ryanrhee90: You have something in your dependency web that is causing an impossible situation... you are going to have to find it, and remove it, If it tells you it breaks something else, go for it. I would, at this point, go for plymouth. Again keeping in mind  you want to make a note of what you get rid of... and do NOT remove anything that warns you it is a very bad idea to do so.
[03:26] <vexaxv> ayebear, im pretty sure it does, i think i remember seeying that but feel free to double check me
[03:26] <ayebear> vexaxv: what video card do you have? (the brand name)
[03:26] <ryanrhee90> L3top: I tried removing plymouth, and here's what i get: https://gist.github.com/b02dc285c3bb25605fe1
[03:26] <vexaxv> ayebear, radeon 4200
[03:27] <ryanrhee90> that sounds scary. Should I go ahaed and say "Yes, do as I say!"?
[03:27] <L3top> No... I explicitly said not to do that
[03:27] <L3top> lol
[03:27] <twoten210> pepee: I found a good clue, from a console screen I switched the wl slider ON and got this popup: b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found
[03:27] <ayebear> vexaxv: ah it is probably just the drivers... you could try using openbox and see if it improves your FPS.
[03:27] <vexaxv> ayebear, openbox?
[03:27] <ryanrhee90> L3top: oh oops, i thought you were talking about this when you said "if it tells you it breaks something else, go for it"
[03:28] <Basstard`> vexaxv: Talk to the hardware manufacturer and ask them why they don't provide better support/drivers.
[03:28] <L3top> np ryanrhee90... I just don't want you to break your install because of what I am telling you to do. It would make me sad.
[03:28] <ryanrhee90> okay, so removing plymouth isnot an option, and i can't remove gvfs without trying to install python...
[03:28] <L3top> vexaxv: lspci | grep VGA
[03:28] <pepee> twoten210, you sure b43-fwcutter is installed? run: dpkg -l | grep b43-fwcutter
[03:28] <j-lo-ski> hello room
[03:28] <ayebear> vexaxv: it is a different window manager. i don't think you could run unity on it, so just try using unity2d which uses metacity. to do this, you could try doing metacity --replace, but it could mess up stuff, so just log off, and log back into "ubuntu 2d" by changing the option before you log in.
[03:29] <vexaxv> i have a feeling most game issues on linux come from the drivers
[03:29] <ayebear> yeah probably
[03:29] <tucemiux> omg the install is not automatic, it was stuck waiting for me to click on OK o.O grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[03:29] <ryanrhee90> L3top: okay, then how about this? Is there a way I can tell apt to install python-minimal with the option "-o APT::Immediate-Configure=false", and remove gvfs at the same time?
[03:29] <ayebear> i have an nvidia card and games run just as good in linux.
[03:29] <vexaxv> ayebear, so use unity 2d and it should improve my performce?
[03:29] <tucemiux> what a lousy excuse of an upgrade!
[03:29] <vexaxv> ayebear, that was obvious lol not to be rude i mean i didnt think of it
[03:29] <ryanrhee90> L3top: I mean. I'm trying to remove gvfs so i can install python, but removing gvfs is impossible because it tries to install python

[03:29] <ayebear> it could somewhat but it is probably mostly your drivers. and lol np
[03:30] <tucemiux> unity is an aberration, i choose plain ubuntu with no effects
[03:30] <L3top> your problem is deeper than that ryanrhee90 and has to be resolved first.

[03:30] <ryanrhee90> L3top: OH. i just got something to work
[03:30] <L3top> vexaxv: and yes, running 2d will help...
[03:30] <L3top> vexaxv: can you paste it here?

[03:31] <ryanrhee90> L3top: but yes, I totally agree with you, my problem is deeper. I do feel like a lot of these install scripts use setuptool though, and with a broken python, i won't be able to fix much of it, so i feel like this is a first step

[03:32] <L3top> ryanrhee90: yes, that does sound like yours
[03:32] <ryanrhee90> L3top: okay, I think python is fixed for now. python -c "import setuptools" is working now
[03:33] <ryanrhee90> L3top: okay, now I'm going to try re-doing "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade"
[03:33] <vexaxv> L3top, yeah fglrx is updated
[03:33] <L3top> ryanrhee90: I would try to dist-upgrade again

[03:34] <pepee> twoten210, did you install some of those manually?
[03:34] <L3top> vexaxv: Check your fps in 2d, and if not to your liking check out http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubuntu-x-swat
[03:34] <ryanrhee90> L3top: thanks so much! I think dist-upgrade is going smoothly now. After this, I'll install update-manager-core and do "do-dist-upgrade"
[03:34] <twoten210> pepee: yes according to forum threads I read from the last few days
[03:34] <kena43> need amarok guru. any takers?

[03:34] <L3top> np ryanrhee90... though really YOU figured it out :P
[03:35] <tucemiux> has someone in here upgraded yet??

[03:41] <yjacket> I have the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys from Puttygen, and I checked sshd_config and there's nothing about authentication keys commented out...
[03:42] <tucemiux> dont think hibernate option is installed on a desktop, thanks for the heads up though, good night!
[03:43] <pepee> twoten210, blacklist ssb and b43, see if it works

[03:45] <L3top> !libdvdcss | caf4926
[03:45] <yjacket> another symptom: when I use an encrypted .ppk file, Putty doesn't ask me to decrypt, it just says "Server refused our key" (also when using .ppk with no encryption)
[03:46] <paulus68> does anyone know a good pasword recovery tool for rar files?
[03:46] <twoten210> pepee: I saved the file, now do I reboot?

[03:54] <WulRadyansyka> had gnome-shell been fixed yet?
[03:54] <WulRadyansyka> to force people into unity this way is a cheap shot
[03:54] <ikt__> what is a cheap shot
[03:55] <bazhang> !notunity | WulRadyansyka
[03:55] <bazhang> WulRadyansyka, got an actual support question?
[03:56] <pepee> twoten210, type iwconfig and paste the output in the pastebin
[03:57] <twoten210> pepee: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions
[03:58] <cg2916> I have tried unetbootin, LiLi, and Universal USB Installer, but they all freeze on the SYSLINUX "intro" screen
[03:58] <twoten210> WulRadyansyka: try xfce or Xubuntu
[03:59] <L3top> cg2916: for the second time, what do you mean "freeze" and do you get a prompt that says "boot:"
[03:59] <pepee> twoten210, ifconfig -a
[03:59] <cg2916> L3top, it doesn't go anywhere, and there is no prompt
[04:00] <pepee> twoten210, will show you the interfaces. tell me what names you see (like eth0 lo ...)
[04:00] <L3top> what is the HW you are attempting to install on cg2916?
[04:00] <WulRadyansyka> to hell with xfce, I want a normal gnome, like in opensuse or fedora or what ever distro you have
[04:00] <bazhang> WulRadyansyka, this is not the complaints channel
[04:00] <WulRadyansyka> there is an excuse to package gnome-shell, but it is broken and does not work
[04:01] <bazhang> WulRadyansyka, thats enough
[04:01] <twoten210> pepee: http://paste.org/48789
[04:02] <WulRadyansyka> bazhang: my support question is how to make gnome-shell work, which it currently doesn't
[04:02] <cg2916> L3top, Acer Aspire 5750-6677
[04:02] <ryanrhee90> Hey guys, so when you remove a package using apt-get, you can pass the —purge option to remove the config files, right? well is there a way to remove those config files /after/ a package has been deleted?
[04:02] <bazhang> !work | WulRadyansyka
[04:02] <cg2916> L3top, do you need more info?
[04:02] <L3top> WulRadyansyka: you do realize it is an open source project right? To imply that the code was purposefully broken as some sort of conspiracy to prevent you from configuring your machine how you want is... obtuse.
[04:03] <WulRadyansyka> it complains about the missing settings scheme with some junk instead of name and segfaults
[04:03] <L3top> I haven't ever had a broken install at that point so I was loading up a vm to take a look cg2916. Have you checked the md5sum of  the image?
[04:03] <bazhang> WulRadyansyka, pastebin the errors, file some bugs. complaints are not in this channel however
[04:04] <WulRadyansyka> I need solutions
[04:04] <L3top> !details | WulRadyansyka
[04:04] <yjacket> yeah, no matter what I do, I can't get Putty to ssh with rsa keys...
[04:04] <bazhang> WulRadyansyka, then ask real questions, with some info. stop complaining
[04:05] <L3top> WulRadyansyka: paste the actual error.
[04:06] <pepee> twoten210, install firmware-b43-installer. remove b43 and ssb from the blackllist
[04:06] <WulRadyansyka> bazhang: I'm not complaining, I told you the truth, I told what the error message is, what kind of info you need?
[04:06] <yjacket> Does anyone have any expirience with setting up ssh authentication keys with puttygen? I have followed like 3 guides, and still get "Server refused our key"
[04:06] <L3top> The actual error, not your interpretation of it WulRadyansyka. You are the first person I have seen who has such an error.
[04:06] <bazhang> WulRadyansyka, you are. saying the error is some segfault and nothing else wont get any support that is of use
[04:07] <pepee> WulRadyansyka, gnome shell doesn't work with some hardware. do you have ATI/AMD graphics?
[04:08] <WulRadyansyka> pepee: gnome-shell works on my hardware. in every distro except ubuntu
[04:08] <bazhang> !pastebin | WulRadyansyka paste the Exact errors
[04:09] <twoten210> pepee: ok, firmware installed, the firmware-b43-lpphy-installer got removed and no more blacklist on b43 and ssb
[04:09] <pepee> twoten210, reboot
[04:10] <L3top> WulRadyansyka: you clearly don't want any resolution, you want to complain. Duly noted. Is that all?
[04:10] <wylde> WulRadyansyka: have you made any bug reports? It's quite easy, 'ubuntu-bug gnome-shell' will start the bug filing process and probably include actually useful information to triagers and developers so it can get fixed.
[04:10] <WulRadyansyka> I doń't have ubuntu-bug

[04:10] <digitalj> I've never filed a bug in open source software before :(
[04:11] <wylde> WulRadyansyka: oh? what version of ubuntu are you using?
[04:11] <WulRadyansyka> also I don't have fglrx. I have the plain old radeon driver
[04:11] <JZApples> wylde, isn't it apport-bug?
[04:11] <RangerMauve> Hey, anyone know what the names of the video codecs that Ubuntu 12.04 installes at the beginning?
[04:12] <WulRadyansyka> wylde: 12.04 with junk removed, apport included
[04:12] <pepee> WulRadyansyka, ask in #radeon if someone is having problems with it
[04:12] <wylde> JZApples: you can use apport collect if you've already files a bug. 'apport collect bugnumber. But yeah I think you can use apport the same way as ubuntu-bug.
[04:12] <vexaxv> im running ubuntu 12.04 with a radeon 4200, im wondering how do i configure opengl to work better with games..i noticed in a game i downloaded the readme says "incorrect opengl settings" how do i edit those. there not talking about the ati catalyst are they?
[04:13] <twoten210> pepee: Oh my gawd! I have a blue light, gkrellm shows a wlan chart, and I can see all my neighbors in my wl scan list!
[04:13] <bazhang> RangerMauve, for video? mp3?
[04:13] <JZApples> wylde, i don't actually know what i'm talking about, i was just trying to help :)
[04:13] <pepee> twoten210, well, that was the problem: a missing package
[04:13] <RangerMauve> For video, bazhang
[04:13] <bazhang> RangerMauve, the gstreamer ugly ones?
[04:14] <RangerMauve> No idea, I just need one that will work with ffmpeg
[04:14] <JZApples> wylde, when i "man ubuntu-bug" it gives me apport-bug
[04:14] <wylde> WulRadyansyka: so, basically you have no interest in providing useful information to help resolve issues within ubuntu.
[04:14] <bazhang> RangerMauve, assuming you mean from ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:14] <RangerMauve> I tried installing libx264 but it's not being recognized for some reason.
[04:14] <wylde> JZApples: yep, ubuntu-bug is provided by apport.
[04:14] <RangerMauve> That is a fair assumption
[04:14] <JZApples> wylde, so the same thing, gotcha
[04:15] <bazhang> !find h264
[04:15] <WulRadyansyka> wylde: I'm not installing spyware like apport in my system
[04:15] <bazhang> WulRadyansyka, thats not spyware.
[04:15] <vexaxv> Xnom5993aba
[04:16] <bazhang> vexaxv, ?
[04:16] <vexaxv> sorry was trying to tell someone else something
[04:16] <vexaxv> anyone know how to edit opengl settings? im guessing the ati catalyst?
[04:16] <JZApples> wylde, must be the same thing that happens when you report an error through the gui?  i reported one earlier when using qsynth but i should probably just install ubuntu studio.
[04:17] <wylde> WulRadyansyka: regardless, you've been asked to provide useful information so people can help you and yet you've not provided nothing with any sort of detail to allow anyone to provide you any type of support. At any rate enjoy your trolling as long as the ops care to put up with you.
[04:17] <wylde> JZApples: yep :)
[04:18] <WulRadyansyka> there is a single error message tagged FATAl: Settings schema 'random junk here' is not installed
[04:18] <RangerMauve> bazhang, Any idea what they are, or was that random thing you asked the bot what I am looking for?
[04:19] <JZApples> wulradyansyka, why do you say it's spyware?
[04:19] <bazhang> RangerMauve, well what is it you are trying to accomplish, could you provide some more info?
[04:19] <L3top> for the fifth time WulRadyansyka, post the ACTUAL error, not your interpretation of it.
[04:20] <en1gma> i think i might buy an OLD sony vaio laptop tomorrow for $25.00 it has 512MB memory and a 1.2ghz cpu so i was wondering if ubuntu 12.04 would start up from a usb stick in test mode/ live mode
[04:20] <wylde>  'random junk here' != useful information.
[04:20] <RangerMauve> Well I want to stream from my desktop to Justin.tv, I found some random script that uses ffmpeg to accomplish that for me, I tried running it but it said that it couldn't find the encoder specified in the script
[04:20] <aeon-ltd> en1gma: with those specs i would not run stock ubuntu
[04:20] <JZApples> lol
[04:20] <aeon-ltd> en1gma: but yeah it should start unless the processor is pre-i686 iirc
[04:20] <en1gma> i can always go back to 10.10 or 10.04 i just need something to test with as he says there is no OS
[04:21] <WulRadyansyka> random junk is literally random bytes, they are different each time
[04:21] <L3top> en1gma: I would think adding 512 more memory would make it a lot happier.
[04:21] <wylde> RangerMauve: on the receiving end it's through upnp?
[04:21] <en1gma> dont own it yet but if i do im sure i would but first need to test hardware...not even sure if the lappy comes with onboard wifi
[04:21] <L3top> WulRadyansyka: for the 6th time, please post the ACTUAL error from a console.
[04:21] <en1gma> lol
[04:21] <Will123456> has anyone noticed rhythmbox playing music spontaneously, when it shouldn't be? i think it might be flash player but that's just a guess
[04:22] <wylde> RangerMauve: just asking because I use Mediatomb to stream multimedia to the devices/computers on my network.
[04:23] <RangerMauve> wylde, I have no idea really. I'm just blindly goolgling at the moment

[04:24] <RangerMauve> Like, you make the video, and others watch it
[04:24] <Vastlee> I've just added a new hard drive. It's already partitioned & formated. How do I get to it in the file manager?
[04:24] <wylde> ranger ahh ok, I misunderstood what you wanted then.
[04:25] <L3top> Vastlee: it should just be there... unless something went terribly wrong with the formatting and it cannot be mounted

[04:26] <wylde> listed*
[04:27] <RangerMauve> Well it says that I don't have the video codec when I run it
[04:27] <RangerMauve> I tried isntalling it via apt-get but it's still not being recognized
[04:27] <wylde> RangerMauve: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[04:28] <RangerMauve> I'm pretty sure I do, since I chose to when it was being installe
[04:28] <Vastlee> My Home is there, and my 2TB external is showing up fine. My home folder & OS are on /dev/sda. My external is /dev/sdc. The drive in question is /dev/sdb. I am a newb & I do not know how to navigate to that drive in the file manager.
[04:28] <wylde> RangerMauve: ahh ok, moment
[04:28] <Vastlee> It shows up in GParted fine as well. Though it is NTFS as I pulled it from another windows PC.
[04:29] <Vastlee> I believe it is there, I just don't know how to navigate to it.
[04:29] <WulRadyansyka> Vastlee: do you see it in a sidebar? NTFS volumes are usually named after labels or size
[04:29] <Vastlee> On my sidebar I see "Home" "FileSystem" & "2TB"

[04:33] <bazhang> RangerMauve, tab completion for package names is often helpful
[04:33] <RangerMauve> Well this is strange, it says that it's installed already, but it seems that ffmpeg isn't recognizing it
[04:34] <wylde> RangerMauve: is it specifying a path that it's looking for the file in?
[04:34] <GhostWolf> hi all don't know if this is a place or if someone knows of a channel to get help on the program gimp image editor
[04:34] <RangerMauve> Er, it's not saying. I bet there's an argument to make it more verbose though
[04:35] <L3top> Vastlee: is there anything on this drive? Are you still viewing it in gparted?
[04:35] <L3top> What specifically do you need help with GhostWolf?
[04:36] <Vastlee> There is data on the drive yes. And I have it open in GParted. Should I exit & try again?
[04:36] <bazhang> GhostWolf, #gimp ?
[04:36] <Vastlee> Ok that worked. It says: Mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdb1 at /media/3074F5F674F5BF22

[04:37] <GhostWolf> L3top, , i need help on how to create an image like icon. i don't know if gimp can do it, but i have 2 seperate images that i already scaled down, and im going to have a name in between the images to make an icon
[04:38] <RangerMauve> GhostWolf: There are online tools for making icon files that you may want to search up
[04:38] <GhostWolf> sorry i sent it to the wrong person
[04:38] <killswitch_> anyone?
[04:38] <L3top> they are both me... lol... I believe gimp CAN do it, but there are better tools to do the job GhostWolf.
[04:38] <killswitch_> know how to disable ctrl-alt-del ?
[04:38] <GhostWolf> RangerMauve, im doing it for a chat site i am, we call them icons its not really same as alot of icons out there
[04:39] <GhostWolf> L3top, oh ok. whats better to do the job? i just want to make this for a friend. first time im trying something
[04:39] <L3top> GhostWolf: Then you are going to have to be more specific as to what you are trying to do. If you are not making "normal" icons... what are you making?
[04:40] <SarahsButt> hi
[04:40] <SarahsButt> Can someone help me out with a small issue?
[04:40] <GhostWolf> L3top, they're called icons but they are small cause they have to be a certain size and no bigger. which i don't recall what the max size is. i think its like 20k but i maybe wrong
[04:41] <Vastlee> I can see it under /media/ but it has a very long name & when I click on it, it says I do not have the necessary permissions.
[04:41] <Vastlee> Can I rename it? & How do I take control over it?
[04:41] <RangerMauve> Try opening you explorer as root
[04:42] <SarahsButt> I used Wubi to install ubuntu but I also have a seperate ubuntu partition. So in Grub when I click on Windows 7 it opens up windows boot manager and gives me windows 7 and ubuntu again as options. How do I delete this ubuntu option?
[04:42] <roger_black> when i load my ubuntu on a laptop, it boots up and only shows the wallpaper and nothing else, can any one have any idea what may be causing this, this is happning with 11.04,11.10 and 12.04
[04:42] <Vastlee> I'm not sure how to open the file explorer as root.
[04:42] <Vampyre2007> hello... can anyone help me out with a small tweak?
[04:43] <shortdudey123> hi, i am running ubuntu 10.04 and i am trying to add JAVA_HOME as a permanent environment variable.  I added it to /etc/environment and also adjusted PATH, however only the adjusted PATH is being picked up.  Any ideas?
[04:43] <wilee-nilee> SarahsButt, which grub the one in wubi or the other partitioned install.
[04:43] <Vampyre2007> Vastlee gksudo nautilus
[04:43] <SarahsButt> I beleive grub is 2.0 but I'm not entirely sure
[04:43] <SarahsButt> iot's the old one installed by the old partition
[04:43] <wylde> RangerMauve: have you tried other vcodecs?
[04:43] <RangerMauve> I am doing that right now, wylde
[04:43] <SarahsButt> I just need to delete ubuntu from the windows boot manager
[04:44] <wylde> RangerMauve: alrighty :)
[04:44] <Vampyre2007> can someone please help me with a small issue?
[04:44] <GhostWolf> L3top, so what program should i use to make what i want to make?
[04:44] <RangerMauve> wylde, I think I have a working video codec now, but now my audio one is complaining. >.< good thing that ffmpeg has a -codecs argument
[04:44] <wylde> RangerMauve: hehe yep :)
[04:45] <Vampyre2007> I want to disable control alt delete from logging out of ubuntu.
[04:45] <Vampyre2007> how can I do this?
[04:45] <L3top> not sure GhostWolf... looking around
[04:45] <wilee-nilee> SarahsButt, do you have a windows recovery or install disc to reload its bootloader if needed?
[04:46] <GhostWolf> L3top, ok i thought you knew on top of your head since you mentioned there are other programs that are better lol
[04:47] <jon180> i just upgraded to 12.04, how do i switch from unity 2d to unity 3d?
[04:47] <RangerMauve> Vampyre2007, what versiona re you using?
[04:47] <wilee-nilee> SarahsButt, the ubuntu in the windows bootloader boots the wubi.
[04:47] <Vampyre2007> 12.04
[04:48] <footvilla> i need help creating a full image backup of my Ubuntu server
[04:48] <Vastlee> Ok all seems to be working. Is there any way I can rename this drive?
[04:48] <aeon-ltd> footvilla: like a routine or just a one off?
[04:48] <footvilla> one off
[04:48] <Vampyre2007> RangerMauve: 12.04 Precise
[04:49] <SarahsButt> I have no disc of any kind. To be quite frank I don't really understand where the information is even stored. Is it all on the USB drive I used, because it can't be on my windows partitions can it?
[04:49] <aeon-ltd> footvilla: have you heard of clonezilla?
[04:49] <RangerMauve> Vampyre2007: try this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man2/reboot.2.html
[04:49] <Garr255> clonezilla +1
[04:49] <footvilla> i have a raid 0 2x 128 ssd drives
[04:49] <JZApples> how good is vino?  is there a recommended alternative for vnc?
[04:49] <SarahsButt> I've been looking into bcdedit.exe command in windows
[04:49] <footvilla> and i want to back everything up
[04:49] <shortdudey123> @footfilla i would 2nd clonezilla
[04:50] <Vampyre2007> I downloaded that deb, but it said a later version was already installed, via software center.
[04:50] <nintet> not sure what to download... i have  an intel CPU, but when i start the download from ubuntu.com it said AMD
[04:50] <wylde> JZApples: Just curious, what do you need to do remotely that you want vnc for?
[04:50] <aeon-ltd> footvilla: then you'll need something bigger than/equal to 256gb then. clonezilla can do a full disk or full partition backup
[04:50] <JZApples> wylde, connect to my computers from my touchpad
[04:50] <SarahsButt> ninet the AMD is just how the 64bit one is labelled
[04:50] <SarahsButt> has nothing to do with your processor
[04:50] <bazhang> nintet, the amd64 is for intel 64 as well
[04:50] <nintet> so it works with intel 64 bit?
[04:50] <SarahsButt> yup
[04:50] <nintet> k
[04:50] <nintet> thanks
[04:50] <bazhang> nintet, Yes
[04:51] <wilee-nilee> SarahsButt, are you answering me? you can use nics with a tab complete to highlight your answer to theuser nic used.
[04:51] <RangerMauve> Vampyre2007: How about http://linuxpoison.blogspot.ca/2007/10/how-to-disable-ctrl-alt-del-from.html
[04:51] <wylde> JZApples: ahh ok, I was just wondering because I just use ssh and the sftp it provides. With the -X option I can open graphical applications as well.
[04:51] <JZApples> wylde, i turned uPnP off on my router and haven't opened up any ports
[04:51] <JZApples> wylde, you can have a gui with SSH?!?!?!
[04:52] <jon180> will switching to unity 3d from 2d fix the 100% cpu usage issue in 12.04 if i have an nvidia graphics card?
[04:52] <footvilla> nice
[04:52] <footvilla> i purchased 4 500 gig WD Ae4 drives
[04:52] <footvilla> I want to do a Raid 10
[04:52] <Vampyre2007> found the init file, but, don't know what to do there.... just delete the logout command and tell it to echo "ctrl-alt-del is disabled?"
[04:52] <wylde> JZApples: well you CAN get the full desktop, but it's much faster to just launch the individual applications, and their gui opens locally :)
[04:52] <nintet> why is distro.ibiblio.org/ubuntu/  so confusing???
[04:52] <shortdudey123> hi, i am running ubuntu 10.04 and i am trying to add JAVA_HOME as a permanent environment variable.  I added it to /etc/environment and also adjusted PATH, however only the adjusted PATH is being picked up.  Any ideas?
[04:53] <RangerMauve> Vampyre2007, I think so
[04:53] <aeon-ltd> jon180: no guarantees unless this is a reported bug
[04:53] <JZApples> wylde, not sure how that would work with WebOS though
[04:53] <RangerMauve> Vampyre2007, make sure to back it up first
[04:53] <wylde> JZApples: eg. I ssh into my remote system using ssh -X hostname , then launch nautilus, or gedit filename. :)
[04:53] <aeon-ltd> jon180: worth a shot though, what would it cost? about 5 mins
[04:53] <SarahsButt> HI
[04:54] <jon180> how do i switch to unity 3d?
[04:54] <wilee-nilee> jon180, at the login is a dropdown icon of a gear.
[04:54] <wylde> JZApples: yeah I don't know. If you can run ssh and have an xserver you can do it. Even on windows using putty and ummm I used to use cygwin for my xserver...mind you that was eons ago :)
[04:54] <Vampyre2007> k... sec...
[04:54] <jon180> i saw that but did not see options for unity
[04:55] <JZApples> wylde, yeah i can't run those things on the WebOS partition.  I did setup ubuntu and lxde (i think), but decided to stick with WebOS.  TigerVNC is working for me, but i'm not sure about vino on the ubuntu box.  My girlfriend says that messages keep popping up asking permission to connect to the desktop.
[04:55] <wilee-nilee> jon180, I belive it is ubuntu unity is the ubuntu-desktop
[04:55] <jon180> i thought i was using that one
[04:56] <wylde> JZApples: yeah, I honestly have no idea about WebOs. I beleive you can disable those messages from vino.
[04:56] <JZApples> wylde, i don't want to disable them, i want to know why they're popping up while i'm at work, not attempting to connect to it.
[04:57] <wylde> JZApples: ahh ok, that shouldn't be happening then heh.
[04:57] <JZApples> wylde, then again i don't ever see them, so who knows what she's really talking about
[04:57] <jon180> it had "ubuntu" and "ubuntu 2d"
[04:57] <wilee-nilee> jon180, I have not looked close but I think there are 2 ubuntu choices, or at least it escapes me as of now. You might not have 3d access as of now needing a graphic driver is this possible?
[04:57] <jon180> i installed the nvidia driver, which worked for me in 10.04
[04:57] <wilee-nilee> jon180, cool so two choices did you get to the 3d?
[04:58] <jon180> i used ubuntu 3d because i assumed ubuntu is 1d, or is that not the case?
[04:58] <jon180> i meant 2d
[04:58] <wylde> JZApples: wish I could be more help, I don't actually use vnc for remote connections at all.
[04:58] <jon180> i will try selecting "ubuntu"
[04:58] <killswitch_> well, edited the control-alt-delete.conf file in init but didn't seem to work
[04:59] <killswitch_> any other ideas?
[04:59] <L3top> lol@1d... the ubuntu line...
[04:59] <wilee-nilee> jon180, both, a choice, depends though on the hardware most get it running I think probably.
[04:59] <L3top> It's fast... but hard to use well.
[04:59] <jon180> thanks for the help
[05:00] <wilee-nilee> jon180, not sure I helped but good luck, :)
[05:01] <vivekimsit> Hii guys! I want a help
[05:02] <wilee-nilee> vivekimsit, tell us your problem and maybe someone will know.
[05:02] <vivekimsit> How can I create a ad-hoc n/w to connect my tablet with the internet with the help of my laptop!
[05:02] <vivekimsit> I am using Ubuntu 10.10
[05:03] <bazhang> vivekimsit, ics?
[05:03] <wilee-nilee> vivekimsit, 10.10 is eol end of release were you aware of this?
[05:03] <JZApples> wylde, yeah thanks dude.  I don't blame you, i've only heard unsecure things about it.  From what she tells me it says "someone is attempting to connect to your computer allow/don't allow" and she either ignores it or clicks don't allow.  i'm gonna check out the router logs
[05:03] <bazhang> !ics | vivekimsit you mean this?
[05:03] <vivekimsit> I was reading these docs and I am confused

[05:04] <vivekimsit> Anyone which have really done this?
[05:04] <gaelfx> vivekimsit: is the laptop connected to the internet via wifi or wired connection?
[05:04] <vivekimsit> its connected with the wired n/w
[05:05] <gaelfx> vivekimsit: should be a snap then, just follow the link bazhang gave you
[05:05] <vivekimsit> Ya I am reading it, thanks bazhang :)

[05:31] <vivekimsit1> gaelfx: how can I know my ssid of the ad-hoc n/w?
[05:32] <linusasus6> please I really dont like this a cursor gliching
[05:32] <frybye> SarahsButt: and when you go into the system control/brightness and screen-lock department?
[05:33] <SarahsButt> frybye: same issue won't adjust. I've had this issue for about 3 years now, and across the last 4-5 ubuntu releases.
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: does it happen in Unity2d session?
[05:34] <linusasus6> no I'm on ubuntu lucid
[05:34] <mute_> Anyone successfully use dual monitors in 12.04? I can't seem to figure out how to set my primary monitor even after some extensive googling.
[05:34] <frybye> SarahsButt: perhaps it is a bit cheeky of me - but after 3 years it is perhaps about time for a new laptop anyhows or... (buy a different make/model with good ubuntu compatability!)
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: ok, then if you use metacity instead of compiz?
[05:35] <EargasmicGiant> so is all smartphones based of linux?
[05:35] <linusasus6> where I look for that I dont understand your questions
[05:35] <SarahsButt> frybye: 3 years? damn I don't have no money. It's still a good laptop with some good specs. MY windows partition can handle the brightness settings flawlessly. It's not a hardware issue.
[05:35] <frybye> SarahsButt: what does google say about the problem "<make and model of laptop> brightness ubuntu"
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> EargasmicGiant: wrong channel dude
[05:36] <L3top> EargasmicGiant: this is a support channel. #ubuntu-offtopic is for chitchat
[05:36] <EargasmicGiant> it was a question is all jeez
[05:36] <SarahsButt> frybye: seems liek it's a common issue with this laptop
[05:37] <frybye> SarahsButt: I am no real linux wizz - with me it is the use of scanner part of multi-function printer/scanner that never works with ubuntu - my soloution to that is also on a different partition ;=)
[05:37] <SarahsButt> oops
[05:38] <hh> hello
[05:38] <SarahsButt> lol
[05:38] <SarahsButt> oka
[05:38] <SarahsButt> frybye: thanks mate
[05:38] <linusasus6> so how to fix the cursor glitching please
[05:38] <frybye> SarahsButt: and nowhere via google is a soloution to be found... that actually works?
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> SarahsButt: is it an acer by any chance?
[05:38] <hh> #name MOH_tech
[05:38] <SarahsButt> frybye: gateway NV58
[05:39] <SarahsButt> ActionParsnip: Gateway NV58
[05:39] <simplew> its possible to report bugs if runing ubuntu???
[05:39] <simplew> its only possible to report bugs if runing ubuntu???
[05:39] <frybye> SarahsButt: ActionParsnip is helping you now - he *is* a linux wizz!
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
[05:39] <SarahsButt> Awesome!
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> Frybye: hardly :)
[05:40] <frybye> ActionParsnip: well a whole lot further on than me...!
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> SarahsButt: yeah gateway isn't much better
[05:40] <SarahsButt> MY EYES ARE DYING!
[05:40] <linusasus6> ActionParsnip no nothing change
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> SarahsButt: tried the bootoption: acpi=linux
[05:41] <and1_> can anyone recommend a good pcmcia wifi card that works with linux
[05:41] <SarahsButt> Actionparsnip: I don't even know what that means
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: what is the issue with the pointer exactly?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | SarahsButt
[05:43] <linusasus6> is moving everywhere and glitching, I got to use my wireless mouse if I use my mouse pad I cant go anywhere with my cursor
[05:43] <L3top> linusasus6: and this is definitely not a hardware error?
[05:44] <frybye> SarahsButt: I can well imagine that might help you a load - wish you well - I am outa here for a bit now...
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> And1_: http://linuxhcl.com/browse/search?category=25

[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Kartook: enable it in ccsm then
[05:49] <L3top> linusasus6: So, if you reboot this persists?
[05:50] <linusasus6> ya
[05:50] <kartook> i dod sudo apt-get install compiz*
[05:50] <Cheery> I tried to do losetup -P while ago.. but util-linux is too old in ubuntu
[05:50] <Cheery> when are you going to fix this problem?
[05:50] <Munkyman587> hey guys
[05:50] <L3top> linusasus6: I go back to hardware problem. I realize that it occurred while you were at a streaming site, but... hardware doesnt go bad till it does. Can you disable the touchpad and plug in another mouse?
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> kartook: then you have ccsm and can use it
[05:51] <kartook> okie
[05:51] <Cheery> hi Munkyman587
[05:51] <kartook> i fely hard to use this one al lthe time
[05:51] <Munkyman587> I run a minecraft server on a 12.04 ubuntu install, and my drive just filled up with .xsession-errors.old
[05:51] <kartook> i always use simple-ccsm on oldversions
[05:51] <kartook> :)
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> Cheery: have you reported a bug?
[05:51] <linusasus6> how do disable the touchpad
[05:51] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: I haven't.
[05:51] <Munkyman587> I have no idea what to do  =/  I am considering doing a fresh install just to solve it
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: keyboard shortcut maybe
[05:52] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: where to do so?
[05:52] <alusion> What command is it to add Cairo dock to startup? and how do I find the answer to this myself for future notice?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Cheery: then how do the devs know there is an issue?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> !bug
[05:53] <linusasus6> dunno what a keyboard shortcut do with a mouse
[05:53] <SarahsButt> what does "Dependency is not satisfiable: boot-sav (>=3.18)" mean?
[05:53] <EargasmicGiant> so anyone know what lubantu iso i should get?
[05:53] <Munkyman587> how would I even remove the hidden file .xsession-errors.old ?
[05:53] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: probably in no way. except is an outdated package a bug?
[05:54] <EargasmicGiant> the iso's are as big as the one i have now 700 mb
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: look at the keyboard, there may be a shortcut to disable it, just as you can d
[05:54] <L3top> Cheery: what exactly are you trying to do?
[05:54] <Fyodorovna> EargasmicGiant, what is your goal here?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> Disable other hardware
[05:54] <Cheery> L3top: trying to emulate SD-card with loop device.
[05:54] <L3top> Cheery: and what version of ubuntu are you on?
[05:54] <Cheery> L3top: trying to access partitions
[05:54] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, no need for the iso if you have ubuntu already installed, just install the package lubuntu-desktop
[05:54] <EargasmicGiant> to put linux on my old laptop that was built for windows 98 2000
[05:55] <EargasmicGiant> but its slow and choppy
[05:55] <Cheery> L3top: Linux ruttunen 3.0.0-19-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 19 19:05:14 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> Cheery: report a bug and it may get updated
[05:55] <Cheery> does this say?
[05:55] <Cheery> uname -a
[05:55] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, so install the package as I just said
[05:55] <Fyodorovna> EargasmicGiant, if you have ubuntu installed.... as suggested you would just add the desktop.
[05:55] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: thanks. I'll do so.
[05:56] <Munkyman587> ='/
[05:56] <L3top> Cheery: -p reads the passphrase from a file descriptor, what is -P supposed to do?
[05:56] <linusasus6> no I see a thing to disable it but it dont work I can still move the cursor little bit with the touchad so is not disable
[05:56] <EargasmicGiant> no i had windows 2000 on it and i wiped the 30 gb hard drive and installed ubantu
[05:56] <EargasmicGiant> and its slow to respond
[05:56] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, install lubuntu-desktop then
[05:56] <Cheery> L3top: if the device has partitions, it should create things like /dev/loop0p1, p2, p3, p4
[05:56] <EargasmicGiant> updates take hrs
[05:57] <WulRadyansyka> EargasmicGiant: what kind of CPU it has?
[05:57] <Cheery> L3top: it's a recently added feature
[05:57] <EargasmicGiant> idk old
[05:57] <EargasmicGiant> it was originally built for windows 98 2000
[05:57] <mrec> I really wonder why canonical is permanently changing the touchpad mousehandling
[05:57] <mrec> not a single version has consistent handling
[05:58] <L3top> I see... Ok then... am just unfamiliar with that. Thanks for the info Cheery
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> !info util-linux
[05:58] <EargasmicGiant> i know ubantu says when i installed it it need 256 memory and thats almost all of the memory on my laptop
[05:59] <domo1> how can I grab sun java for my server?
[05:59] <Onixs> check kids doing various covers http://www.youtube.com/user/WeAreMent2BeSomebody?feature=guide
[05:59] <bazhang> Onixs, wrong channel
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> Wikipedia says 2.21 is latest, so not old at all cheery
[05:59] <wylde> !ot | Onixs
[05:59] <Onixs> yeah
[05:59] <Onixs> figured
[05:59] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: just enough to not include the -P :)
[05:59] <ferni> domo1: from oracle.com
[05:59] <linusasus6> I did a scan with clamav theres no virus
[06:00] <EargasmicGiant> and when i installed ubantu it took up all my 30 gb hard drive
[06:00] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: you think I could compile my own package which would replace this one?
[06:00] <ubuntoo> which is more stable 11.10 or 12.04 Please tell if you have tested practically and have used both. Thanx in advance.
[06:00] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: or find precompiled one somewhere
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: i couldve told you that ;-)
[06:00] <EargasmicGiant> thats what i have on my laptop is 12.04
[06:00] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: it avoids me writing one script so it'd be nice.
[06:01] <EargasmicGiant> but i think my laptop sucks its old
[06:01] <ferni> domo1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[06:01] <linusasus6> ActionParsnip theres not a command to fix this bug
[06:01] <EargasmicGiant> ok so everyones ignoring me?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Cheery: no reason why not, i suggest you run:  ubuntu-bug util-linux   and report the issues
[06:01] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, we told you how to install lubuntu
[06:02] <EargasmicGiant> ya and its the same as what i got
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: no key to disable touchpad?
[06:02] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: thank you
[06:02] <EargasmicGiant> any smaller linux i can use?
[06:02] <linusasus6> ya but it doesnt work
[06:02] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, and an install of Ubuntu will not use 30gb unless you direct it to use that much space. so install the package, no need to chat here about it as this is support only
[06:03] <EargasmicGiant> or do i just reinstall and use less space on my hdd
[06:03] <trent_> anyone know how i can get this " lib32ncurses5-dev "
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> EargasmicGiant: lubuntu, slitaz, tinycore, puppy
[06:03] <domo1> can I use openjdk in place of the official java safely?
[06:03] <EargasmicGiant> puppy ok i heard of that
[06:03] <domo1> or is terrible
[06:03] <bazhang> domo1, sure
[06:03] <domo1> ok
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> domo1: sure
[06:03] <EargasmicGiant> i did tell it to use 30 gb but can i cvhange it or reinstall it
[06:04] <linusasus6> the cursor look like he took speed or redbull
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: did you try the bootoption I gave?
[06:04] <EargasmicGiant> great thx for no help
[06:04] <robertzaccour> sound is fuzzy when recorded. any suggestions?
[06:05] <robertzaccour> is there an app that would "normalize" audio recording?
[06:05] <linusasus6> what a boot option do with a cursor explain please
[06:05] <trent_> is there a ubunto guru in the house? cant locate  lib32ncurses5-dev
[06:06] <ferni> trent_: apt-get install libncurses5-dev:i386
[06:06] <bazhang> !info lib32ncurses5-dev | trent_
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: the boot option tells the kernel to behave differently, the kernel is the access to all hardware
[06:06] <wylde> !info lib32ncurses5
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> !find lib32ncu
[06:07] <linusasus6> so what I do alt+f2 ??? what else
[06:07] <wylde> uhhh, I found it using apt-cache easy enough....who taught ubottu to lie?! :P
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | linusasus6
[06:07] <trent_> E: Couldn't find package libncurses5-dev:i386
[06:07] <WulRadyansyka> you should not recommend puppy. they even managed to break iconv
[06:08] <bazhang> !ot | WulRadyansyka
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> Trent_: try using software centre
[06:08] <rfm> robertzaccour: have you chased down all the analog problems that can affect recording?  Got a good solid common ground between the source and the sound card?
[06:08] <linusasus6> nothing pertinent there
[06:09] <Cheery> https://www.google.fi/search?q=ubuntu+util-linux+2.21 <- btw. I feel I smell a phish there.
[06:09] <robertzaccour> rfm, I don't even know how.
[06:09] <trent_> software center? im a first time user what/where is that?
[06:09] <ubuntoo>  which is more stable 11.10 or 12.04 Please tell if you have tested practically and have used both. Thanx in advance.
[06:10] <bazhang> ubuntoo, try livecds of both. no need for polling
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: Jesus! Hold shift at boot, when grub shows press E, add the option after the words: quiet splash    Press Enter toco
[06:10] <linusasus6> cursor getting worse and worse speedy gonzales is slower
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> To continue the boot
[06:10] <still> hi after /dev/dsp was blacklist, what is the replacement device name in /dev? thanks
[06:10] <rfm> robertzaccour: then you're probably screwed here.#ubuntu can at most deal with software problems, but if you're not sure you have a clean signal into the sound card, software can't help.
[06:10] <vulture> software center is like a app store  but it's free.
[06:11] <trent_> vulture got a link?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: both identical here as I don't use compiz :-)
[06:12] <ubuntoo> bazhang:  its good to get opinion before installing, live cd cannot compete with full installation. Its just for new users
[06:12] <linusasus6> I cant go anywhere now my cusor is posseded
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: i'd go for 12.04 as it is LTS
[06:13] <robertzaccour> there's nothing wrong with my sound card it records fine in windows, but is fuzzy in ubuntu
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: you don't need to 'go anywhere' you are manipulating grub which loads before ubuntu
[06:13] <ubuntoo> ActionParsnip:  thanx but just for tag lts?Have u used it
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: thats why i said to reboot...
[06:14] <_jon180_> in 12.04, how do i switch to unity 3d?
[06:15] <linusasus6> but how to restart computer without mouse and what command I enter after holding shift and press e
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: Precise? Yes since Alpha1
[06:15] <ubuntoo> ActionParsnip:  not alpha, i am talking about stable release
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: press ctrl+alt+t  and run: sudo reboot    try
[06:16] <Cheery> hmm
[06:16] <trent_> Anyone know how to get this im not seeing it in the software store eighter libncurses5-dev
[06:16] <Cheery> the precise has 2.20.. should I dist-upgrade?
[06:16] <wylde> ubuntoo: 12.04 is released, some of us used it during the alpha and beta stages to test and report bugs.
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: well, it means I've used it and now have the stable release. Think about it
[06:17] <kamilnadeem> Need some help with Crayon Phyusics
[06:17] <kamilnadeem> on 12.04
[06:17] <kamilnadeem> the game isn't launching?
[06:17] <Cheery> okay.. I guess I'll upgrade
[06:18] <Cheery> It'll mess up my system further.. but I guess I'll handle it. .)
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: try ungluing your hand from the mouse and use the keyboard and commanine just a little. It will make your life easier
[06:18] <L3top> Cheery: one moment
[06:18] <ubuntoo> wylde: ActionParsnip Thanks, but i mean is it worth to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? I am seeking stability. Ubuntu is not fully stable on my coreI3 sandybridge desktop. Lot of stability issues
[06:18] <L3top> .20 does not understand the -P switch
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: what if you launch it from terminal?
[06:19] <_jon180_> how do i enable unity 3d?
[06:19] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, telling
[06:19] <fidel_> ubuntoo: at the end we cant tell you if 11.10 or 12.04 works more stable on your device
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: i always clean install new releases
[06:19] <L3top> Cheery: 2.20 does not understand the -P switch
[06:20] <Cheery> L3top: oh okay. well it's still okay for me to upgrade
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> _jon180_: setup 3D acceleration and you can choose the 'Ubuntu' option from the login page
[06:20] <wylde> ubuntoo: it has run very stable for me ever since a few days into the beta1 stage. With only a few minor hiccups. But that's just my experience on the hardware I have.
[06:21] <L3top> Cheery: Sure... was just saying if you were worried about problems, and were only doing it for the upgraded package...
[06:21] <_jon180_> so "ubuntu" is definitely supposed to be 3d and not 1d, right?
[06:21] <Cheery> L3top: but you think I could get 2.21 from somewhere myself? without having to wait for upgrade teams?
[06:21] <ubuntoo> wylde:  thanx
[06:21] <linusasus6_> ok now my touchpad doesnt work anymore an the cursor stop glitching
[06:21] <trent_> anyone libncurses5-dev??
[06:21] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/963989/
[06:21] <ubuntoo> trent_: google it
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6_: all better now?
[06:22] <trent_> Couldn't find package libncurses5-dev:i386  ive been googling it all day
[06:22] <linusasus6_> ya no more touchpad he is dead or something
[06:22] <L3top> Cheery: dpkg-query -s reveals that it is an essential package. I really just wouldn't bother with it, and mount things manually
[06:22] <wylde> !find libncurses
[06:22] <wylde> trent_: drop the :i386
[06:23] <trent_> ubottu how do i install it? can you help a new user out?
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: you need to install the package providing that file. Try changing directory to the folder containing the binary. The pwd may be important
[06:23] <trent_> haha
[06:24] <wylde> trent_: sudo apt-get install  libncurses5-dev
[06:24] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, ok trying
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6_: is that the desired outcome?
[06:24] <trent_> wylde Couldn't find package
[06:24] <linusasus6_> what do youmean
[06:24] <L3top> What version of ubuntu are you on trent_?
[06:24] <Cheery> L3top: okay
[06:25] <linusasus6_> the glich is fix but the touchpad dead
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6_: as I say. Is the current functionality of the touchpad as you want it?
[06:25] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, I am installing the game again this time from its deb file
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: probably better, deps will be hopefully sorted
[06:26] <kamilnadeem> :( still not launching
[06:27] <kamilnadeem> let me check what it says in terminal when I try it from opt
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6_: if all is well, we can make the option stick
 holy crap dude i think it finally worked
[06:27] <ubuntoo> kamilnadeem: change desktop resolution. Try native resolution or some low resolution.
[06:27] <linusasus6_> I guess is maybe better like that a dead touchpad and a really great mouse
[06:27] <wylde> trent_: good stuff :)
[06:28] <trent_> im about to find out ill let you know in a sec
[06:28] <rinzler> how does one create an alias for bash?
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: you may have to symlink later versions of the libs to fool your app into thinking you have the file it wants
[06:29] <kamilnadeem> Failed to execute 'crayon'
[06:29] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, how does one do that, also the game ran fine on 11.04 and 11.10 OTB
[06:29] <trent_> nope still says Couldn't find package lib32ncurses5-dev
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> rinzler: run:   gedit ~/.bashrc    you will see other aliases defined. Copy the format
[06:30] <rinzler> ActionParsnip: cool. Thanks!
[06:30] <z3ro3x> In Ubuntu 12.04 where does Empathy store it's chat logs?  I tried deleting them through Empathy by clicking View -> Previous Conversations -> Edit -> Delete all history -> All accounts -> Clear all.  But they remain in the log window.
[06:30] <linusasus6_> thank Idont know what we did and how the touchpad stop working but if it stay like this I guess is good
[06:30] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, The log http://paste.ubuntu.com/964003/ says some files are missing o.O
[06:30] <resting> i installed vsftpd..but hw do i set the user and pwd for the login?
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: it probably had the right numbered lib. Precise probably has a later version using a later number, so the game can't find it
[06:31] <wylde> trent_: I just installed it fine here ... hmm
[06:32] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, so what should I do to make it work?
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: so what you do is make a link pointing to the newer lib but give the link the name your error gave. The file will be identical but the game will see what it needs
[06:33] <linusasus6_> a last question when the upgrade will start for ubuntu 10.04 the 26th of this month?
[06:33] <trent_> wylde after i installed it the first time i went back to reinstall some android stuff and it still says not found??
[06:34] <trent_> wylde from line #9 http://www.droidforums.net/forum/galaxy-nexus-development/193651-how-build-your-own-custom-rom.html
[06:34] <wylde> trent_: so when you installed it, it definately installed properly?
[06:34] <trent_> i think so hang on a sec ill reinstall it and tell you what it said
[06:34] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, I am sorry brother but I don't know how does one do that?
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: so if you have libjpeg.so.69 in /usr/lib but your game wants libjpeg.so.62  you would run: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.69 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62     and it will f
[06:35] <trent_> Reading state information... Done libncurses5-dev is already the newest version.
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Will fool the app
[06:35] <kamilnadeem> trying
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: obviously this is an EXAMPLE, your filenames and locations may be different
[06:36] <wylde> trent_: ok, well that's all I can assist you with. You should be seeking support from droidforums.
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: i suggest you use locate to find the file to link to
[06:37] <trent_> wylde its a common string on several forums thanks thou guess ill just give it a try
[06:38] <wylde> trent_: it's not an official ubuntu project, so it isn't supported here.
[06:39] <pungi-man> what are the criteria to become developer of Ubuntu??
[06:40] <trent_> wylde thank again
[06:40] <wylde> pungi-man: http://developer.ubuntu.com/
[06:40] <kamilnadeem> Thanks
[06:40] <kamilnadeem> I will tryit later
[06:41] <linusasus6_> the sound is not in the headphones anymore also, what have we done please
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> activity-log-manager crashed on precise, any bug related?

[06:47] <RexHaviK> i installed 'prelink' and have initiated the process finally error free, the question is, how do i tell or get an indication that i am infact running in a 'prelinked' mode?
[06:48] <ghil> Oy
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> !info prelink
[06:50] <ghil> her...rather weirdly, unity 3D isn't showing anymore. I was trying Gnome-shell, which was really really slow (there's something wrong that's for sure) and when I tried to get back to Unity, the dash and the top bar wouldn't show.
[06:50] <ghil> but unity 2d works really well.
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> RexHaviK: maybe 'man prelink' in terminal?
[06:51] <lotuspsychje> ghil: is your pc up to date hardware?
[06:52] <ghil> I have an Asus G60jx, so it's rather up to date. Unity 3D was working perfectly before.
[06:52] <bobbyaldol> hey guys how to reset the password for mysql
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> ghil: on ocelot?
[06:52] <ghil> 12.04
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> ghil: no i mean (before=ocelot)?
[06:53] <ghil> oh no, fresh install of 12.04
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> ghil: is that an ati or nvidia?
[06:53] <ghil> nvidia with up to date xorg/drivers.
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> ghil:so you installed nvidia-current?
[06:54] <L3top> bobbyaldol: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix
[06:54] <ghil> I'm on 302.07
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-current
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> ghil: try this
[06:54] <ludkiller> bobbyaldol try this http://bit.ly/IHpPhV
[06:55] <ghil> I'm one more than the current.
[06:55] <ghil> and it was working fine all day, until I tried Gnome-shell.
[06:55] <lotuspsychje> ghil: ok strange, maybe walk around /var/log/syslog to see some errors
[06:55] <ghil> yeah I'll try that.
[06:56] <lotuspsychje> ghil:maybe gnome shell changed a conf somewhere
[06:56] <ubuntoo> ghil:  is 12.04 super stable or just normal? I want to know as i am also planning to switch to 12.04
[06:56] <ghil> that's what I'm thinking.
[06:56] <ghil> ubuntoo: so far, it's rock solid.
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> ubuntoo:for me its also running very smooth
[06:57] <ludkiller> hey whats the olderst linux based OS
[06:57] <ludkiller> ?
[06:57] <ghil> the oldest distro still active you mean?
[06:57] <ghil> or a derivative of linux?
[06:57] <ludkiller> ya
[06:57] <ubuntoo> ghil:  Have you tried 11.10? If yes, which is more stable?
[06:57] <ghil> 12.04 so far ubuntoo.
[06:58] <ubuntoo> ghil:  thanx
[06:58] <L3top> !poll | ubuntoo
[06:58] <ludkiller> distro still active and please tell me about the stability of ubntu 12.04
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> ludkiller: precise is very stable for me
[06:58] <ghil> ludkiller: I'd wager it's between Slackware, Debian and Red Hat.
[06:58] <ghil> Mandrake came pretty early too.
[06:59] <ubuntoo> ubottu:  okay, can u tell what does bots mean. I have heard this word for games too????
[06:59] <ghil> bots are programs.
[06:59] <ghil> they check for triggers and respond to them according to their programmation.
[06:59] <llutz_> !ot | ludkiller: slackware it is
[07:00] <ludkiller> k thanks
[07:00] <ludkiller> :)
[07:00] <ghil> well...Unity's not working anymore. I always wanted to try KDE anyhow.
[07:01] <L3top> KDE is very stable.
[07:01] <ludkiller> gnome is good too
[07:01] <linusasus6> ok sound fix cursor reglitch maybe it is the linux 3.0 on 2.6 it have no glitch no touchpad on 3.0 touchpad work
[07:01] <ghil> I'm an Openbox guy normally.
[07:02] <ludkiller> ya triggers like hi
[07:02] <ludkiller> u can program bots using mIRC i think
[07:02] <APoulos> Hello all, if someone here is knowledgable about PPAs and can help me with my issue - please mention my name.
[07:02] <L3top> linusasus6: do me a favor... boot to a live disk and tell me if the problem persists. I will say again, this sounds like the HW is the problem.
[07:03] <Kartagis> !ask | APoulos
[07:03] <SmoothSage> !patience
[07:03] <ludkiller> !patience
[07:03] <SmoothSage> :P
[07:04] <APoulos> Kartagis: I wanted to give patience to one of the higher up members of the IRC to help me, I wasnt meaning to ask to ask a question
[07:04] <ljsoftnet> whats the command to make fmtools run the fm tuner?
[07:04] <ludkiller> !ot APoulos
[07:04] <linusasus6> so it may explain why the ntfs partition disapear from the grub
[07:05] <APoulos> ludkiller: please, its not off topic
[07:05] <APoulos> thanks
[07:06] <ludkiller> APoulos "Trophy Earned: No Offtopic Discussion"
[07:06] <ludkiller> :)
[07:06] <ljsoftnet> when i turn on fmtools and run fm 99.5 65535 on the terminal, it makes a sound on the station for a split second and turns off its not consistent, how do i make it consistent
[07:06] <ludkiller> lol
[07:06] <L3top> APoulos: you have not asked a question, you are just chatting. Please... state your issue and ask an actual question.
[07:06] <danny> alt tab closes out my opend windows how do i get alt tab to jsut swicth regualary
[07:06] <ghil> oh I found my problem. o.O
[07:06] <ghil> something removed ubuntu-desktop. o.O
[07:07] <lotuspsychje> linusasus6:try pysdm for auto mount ntfs
[07:07] <ubuntoo> How to connect mobile with ubuntu? I mean are there any PC suite alternatives?
[07:07] <linusasus6> how lotuspsychje
[07:07] <lotuspsychje> linusasus6: sudo apt-get install pysdm
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> !info pysdm | linusasus6
[07:08] <ljsoftnet> when i turn on fmtools and run fm 99.5 65535 on the terminal, it makes a sound on the station for a split second and turns off its not consistent, how do i make it consistent
[07:08] <APoulos> Here's what ails me.  I used the program Y-PPA-Manager by Webup8team, which backs up my PPAs, the problem I'm having happens when I try to restore them, they don't show up in the software center - so what I did was I manually added them via software center as such "deb blahblahblah/blah/blabla/my_ubuntu_version_here main" which makes them browseable and displayable in the software center but not the ppa manager
[07:09] <linusasus6> ok pysdm is install then what
[07:09] <ludkiller> i am using 11.XX distro of Ubuntu and getting an Error While running apt-get update
[07:09] <APoulos> I asked the guy who manages the launchpad about the issue and he told me to run the following commands "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - which only returned 2 repos - not the ppas
[07:10] <APoulos> so what I'm not understanding is, whats the difference between adding them as ppas instead of adding them manually to the sources list?
[07:11] <APoulos> he said that "I'm adding the PPA's complete deb line instead of the PPA itsself - so what should I do?
[07:11] <llutz_> APoulos: "grep -r ppa /etc/apt/source* "
[07:11] <lotuspsychje> linusasus6: open a terminal and type sudo pysdm
[07:11] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, two different places ifn you use the pa install it goes to the list.d
[07:11] <Fyodorovna> *if
[07:12] <L3top> APoulos: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> linusasus6:then change all ntfs drives to 'mount' and reboot
[07:12] <llutz_> APoulos: i guess you added it to /etc/apt/sources.list instead
[07:13] <APoulos> L3top Fyodorovna llutz_ so I added the complete deb to the sources list instead of the PPA itsself?
[07:13] <llutz_> APoulos: does your sources.list show any ppa-entries?
[07:14] <danny> plz someone point me in the right direrction alt tab is not working it closes my opened ap
[07:14] <APoulos> llutz_ can I pastebin the output?
[07:14] <llutz_> APoulos: i have no www here, just answer yes/no
[07:15] <APoulos> llutz: what does that mean?
[07:15] <APoulos> llutz_: are you saying you have no way to browse the net and look?
[07:15] <llutz_> APoulos: thats it
[07:16] <llutz_> APoulos: "grep -r ppa /etc/apt/source* "   any entries shown in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[07:16] <APoulos> llutz_ yes
[07:16] <karthick87> I have given this command to restrict users changing wallpapers "gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/Amitabh.png" But how do i revert back these changes ? Can anyone help me pls ?
[07:16] <llutz_> APoulos: remove them, put them into single files for every ppa under sources.list.d/
[07:16] <ljsoftnet> how do i use fmtools to play run my fm tuner?
[07:17] <zebe42> how do you tell what audio driver/deamon is being used. ubuntu 12.04
[07:17] <APoulos> llutz_ could you phrase that differently? most of the entries I see here look like this: "/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/y-ppa-manager/ubuntu precise main"
[07:18] <jarco> hello, I installed ubuntu. Now I am greeted with a black screen with a mouse pointer (I can move the mouse pointer). How can I make my gui appear?
[07:18] <Fyodorovna> !nomodeset | jarco
[07:18] <llutz_> APoulos: those ppa-entries shouldn't be written to /etc/apt/sources.list. they go to files in /etc/apt-/sources.list.d like
[07:18] <llutz_> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lubuntu-dev-staging-precise.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lubuntu-dev/staging/ubuntu precise main
[07:19] <ljsoftnet> how do i use fmtools to play run my fm tuner?
[07:19] <APoulos> llutz_: should I just nuke the source file then, and add them all back from scratch using the ppas?
[07:20] <llutz_> APoulos: however you like
[07:20] <jarco> Fyodorovna: i ll take a look. Thx
[07:20] <Fyodorovna> jarco, cool, no problem. :)
[07:20] <APoulos> llutz_: if I sudo rm my sources.list, will all hell break loose?
[07:21] <paulus68> does anyone know a good program to recover rar passwords
[07:21] <llutz_> APoulos: don't do that!
[07:21] <chk`afk> paulus68 - it usually involved bruteforcing the password and is very slow
[07:21] <llutz_> APoulos: sources.list holds the main distro-repos. just remove the ppa lines
[07:22] <chk`afk> if the password is long/includes special characters you may never "recover" it
[07:22] <chk`afk> involves*
[07:22] <paulus68> chk`afk: that's not a problem I just need a good program to do this ;)
[07:22] <chk`afk> ;)
[07:22] <zebe42> I'm trying to get audio working with virtualbox, I'm not sure what host audio driver I am using. Does anyone know how to find this out?
[07:22] <fidel_> hi - just reading about fedora17 & a multi-seat function. (english src: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/multi-seat ) - any idea if that will come to ubuntu as well?
[07:22] <APoulos> llutz_ wouldn't it just rebuild?
[07:23] <paulus68> chk`afk: do you know such a program?
[07:23] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, I would some what disagree with the help here but if you nuke the source,list you will remove important repos, but these can be generated here. http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[07:23] <llutz_> APoulos: no it wouldn't (iirc)
[07:23] <fidel_> according to the article most likely not that fast
[07:23] <APoulos> Fyodorovna: could you PM me
[07:24]  * ubuntoo wants users to try mail.com if they want some nice domain names
[07:24] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, I don't PM, sorry.
[07:24] <ljsoftnet> how do i use fmtools to play run my fm tuner?
[07:24] <APoulos> Fyodorovna: then what are your thoughts? I want to hear all courses of action before I select a single one
[07:25] <missuse> how to change dns server for my broadban
[07:25] <llutz_> APoulos: what's the problem? remove those lines from sources.list, add ppa either by using add-apt-repository or manually creating files under sources.list.d/
[07:25] <missuse> why is it so hard to change even the simple thing like that in ubuntu
[07:26] <zebe42> missuse: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[07:26] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, only that the ppa's have to be in the sources.list.d it is easier to see all together there but can be in the regular list afaik  if put in the regular list just lable a line ppa's witha # at the beginning of that line.
[07:26] <scar3crow> what's the most secure way to log into my computer remotely?
[07:27] <zebe42> scar3crow: ssh
[07:27] <jarco> Fyodorovna: Awesome Link. I booted into my gui now. Thanks mate
[07:27] <scar3crow> zebe42: ty
[07:27] <APoulos> llutz_:.... the output of your grep command - I just go through, line after line and search and replace those with nothing using a text editor?
[07:27] <Fyodorovna> jarco, cool update the OS and look in additional drivers for any missing drivers.
[07:27] <llutz_> APoulos: yes
[07:28] <xgpt> hello
[07:28] <xgpt> is anyone an xmpp/jabber user? I'd like to test something...
[07:28] <APoulos> Fyodorovna: thank you for your link btw, I'll keep that.
[07:28] <APoulos> llutz_: now - I must ask you, what is the best way to backup your system?
[07:29] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, I was just concerned over the removal of the sources.list content and that you had a way of geting it, a good resource .
[07:29] <APoulos> llutz_: that way I can prevent things from going completely wrong
[07:29] <APoulos> Fyodorovna: yes, I see your concern as I am still somewhat concerned of doing it myself -
[07:29] <llutz_> APoulos: there is no _best_ way. i prefer using rsnapshot to backup /home, /etc/ and parts of /var + a list of actually installed packages
[07:30] <APoulos> llutz_: say I wanted to make my own custom 12.04LTS iso that had everything installed for me that I previously had... what would I use?
[07:30] <llutz_> APoulos: no idea, you might google for "remaster ubuntu"
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> !info remastersys
[07:31] <APoulos> llutz_: tried that, remastersys practically messed up my system
[07:31] <APoulos> llutz_: it created a virtual swap of some sort that I couldnt remove
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> a fresh install would be good idea
[07:32] <APoulos> lotuspsychje: ive done about 3 of those this week. but I suppose 1 more wouldn't hurt
[07:32] <llutz_> APoulos: idk what remastersys does, i never had the wish to remaster something. i'm doing simple netinstalls and that's it
[07:32] <APoulos> APTonCD doesnt work either, doesnt restore the lib files you need.
[07:33] <APoulos> alright. I have to sort this out.
[07:33] <APoulos> goodbye until I'm finished

[07:42] <jayar> when i know i have a usb drive plugged in, how do i mount it via ssh
[07:42] <jayar> or how do i find if its even connected
[07:42] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar, you cannot mount a drive using ssh
[07:42] <jayar> yes you can
[07:42] <linuxfreaker> Hi Guys
[07:42] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar: "lsusb" will list usb drives connected to your machine
[07:42] <llutz_> jayar: "fdisk -l"
[07:43] <ubuntuhelp_> generally you want to to do something along the lines of "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb"
[07:43] <ubuntuhelp_> you need to determine where your device is located
[07:43] <ubuntuhelp_> then mount it
[07:43] <jayar> yes
[07:43] <jayar> im just tryin to find out where it is
[07:43] <linuxfreaker> I am new to UEFI. Any idea how to make dell server to support UEFI boot on Ubuntu v11.4
[07:43] <ubuntuhelp_> thats easy to determine
[07:44] <jayar> just trin to know which dev/sd its on
[07:45] <test> Hi folks.
[07:45] <mmlevitt> test: hello.
[07:45] <ubuntuhelp_> sure one second
[07:45] <ubuntuhelp_> ill provide some instruction
[07:45] <jayar> test: hello response
[07:46] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar, have you tried the command "dmesg"
[07:46] <kanliot> there will also be a test later
[07:46] <test> Lol
[07:46] <jayar> holy crap thats alot of stuff
[07:46] <test> Whoops, hadn't realised I forgot to set my username :)
[07:47] <test> I'm running 11.10, and I really want to be able to run an application (in this case social media app) as a "locked" sidebar, so that other windows don't overlap it even if they're maximised. Any ideas? Kind of a Holy Grail for me for the last few months :)
[07:47] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar: you need to find out from the output what /dev your device is on
[07:47] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar: i promise the information is there
[07:47] <linuxfreaker> Any idea how to make dell server to support UEFI boot on Ubuntu v11.4

[07:47] <danbeam> hello! does anyone have a good recommendation for video capturing software? I'm desperately in need of a good one...
[07:47] <llutz_> jayar: "fdisk -l"
[07:47] <jayar> llutz: doesnt do anything

[07:48] <ubuntu> \exit
[07:48] <llutz_> jayar: use sudo then
[07:49] <ubuntuhelp_> llutz: "fdisk -l" will not help him. This only works for mounted drives!
[07:49] <danbeam> video screen capture specifically for Gnome
[07:49] <android> hello all
[07:49] <llutz_> ubuntuhelp_: nonsense
[07:50] <zebe42> Is asking a question a fourth time bad manners?
[07:50] <zebe42> forth*
[07:50] <kanliot> go zebe42
[07:50] <zebe42> I'm trying to get audio working with virtualbox, I'm not sure what host audio driver I am using. I have the choice of Pulse, ALSA, and OSS. I am running ubuntu 12.04 64bit desktop.Does anyone know how to find this out?
[07:50] <jayar> only in a row, zebe42
[07:51] <kanliot> any should work zebe42
[07:51] <ubuntuhelp_> llutz_: he is trying to mount a usb or pci device. fdisk -l is useless. It is used for mounted drives or filesystems only.
[07:51] <JohnnyricoMC> and it's fourth, you were right the first time zebe42.
[07:51] <llutz_> ubuntuhelp_: nonsense
[07:51] <esak> i install ubuntu 12.04. after conneted to wireless internet. show this message when ubuntu is booting for long time." waiting for network configure"
[07:51] <llutz_> ubuntuhelp_: you want to read what fdisk is/does before you spread those stupidities
[07:51] <ubuntuhelp_> I guess you can't teach the ignorant
[07:52] <ubuntuhelp_> llutz_: "man fdisk" thanks.
[07:52] <jayar> sudo mount /dev/sdd /media/Flip
[07:52] <jayar> doesnt work
[07:52] <kanliot> shouldnt' it be sudo fdisk -l
[07:53] <Jordan_U> jayar: Do you know if this camera presents itself as a disk drive?
[07:53] <ubuntuhelp_> jayar: the sdd devices are usually numbered. are you sure its not sdd1 or sdd2?
[07:53] <jayar> oh sdd1
[07:53] <ubuntuhelp_> -_- yes
[07:53] <jayar> still says /media/Flip does not exist
[07:54] <ubuntuhelp_> go to /mnt
[07:54] <test> ubuntuhelp_ : Only on mounted disks? You really are a pillock. You should UNMOUNT before using fdisk to avoid file system damage
[07:54] <llutz_> jayar: sudo mkdir /media/Flip
[07:54] <ubuntuhelp_> create a directory "Flip" using "mkdir Flip
[07:54] <esak> i install ubuntu 12.04. after conneted to wireless internet. show this message when ubuntu is booting for long time." waiting for network configure"
[07:54] <ubuntuhelp_> then mount it there
[07:54] <jayar> same
[07:55] <ubuntuhelp_> does lsusb show the device
[07:55] <jayar> how do i mkdir when its not even mounted..
[07:55] <Jordan_U> test: Name calling is not needed or wanted here. Please don't do it in the future.
[07:55] <danbeam> jayar: you're making a directory on your local disk so you can mount it there
[07:55] <ubuntuhelp_> you create a pseudo folder in either the /media or /mnt directory
[07:55] <ubuntuhelp_> then you mount it to that folder
[07:55] <jayar> well dang
[07:55] <jayar> it worked :)
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> bravo
[07:56] <jayar> ty
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> glad i could help
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> to unmount, you type "unmount /media/Flip"
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> do this before ejecting
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> etc...
[07:56] <llutz_> umount
[07:56] <jayar> werd
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> yes umount

[07:57] <kanliot> !tab
[07:57] <llutz_> danbeam: nope
[07:57] <danbeam> llutz_: damn
[07:58] <kanliot> zebe42, trial and error is the offical linux way
[07:59] <kanliot> its pro
[07:59] <linuxfreaker> Anyone who can suggest me regarding UEFI
[07:59] <llutz_> danbeam: if i need to record stuff, i simply use "script"
[07:59] <danbeam> llutz_: hehe, that works for text

[07:59] <zebe42> kanliot: true that
[07:59] <kanliot> linuxfreaker, why would you need to config ubuntu for uefi?
[07:59] <linuxfreaker> Any idea how to make dell server to support UEFI boot on Ubuntu v11.4
[07:59] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: Though the first suggestion I would make would be to avoid UEFI if at all possible.
[07:59] <linuxfreaker> kanliot: Due to the requirement for the boot disk size over 3TB and application
[07:59] <robertzaccour> when editing in Kdenlive whenever I include a title clip, rendering fails. Any suggestions? BTW I know there's #kdenlive but you try getting a response there, especially at this hour.
[08:00] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: You can use GPT with BIOS just fine.
[08:00] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: But how about if with UEFI
[08:00] <kanliot> linuxfreaker, i think you are a bit confused, but i'm not 100% sure
[08:01] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: You can of course use GPT with UEFI, but why do you want to use UEFI?
[08:01] <kanliot> yeah why uefi
[08:01] <kanliot> never a reason to use it
[08:01] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: Due to the requirement for the boot disk size over 3TB and application, I want to use UEFI
[08:02] <gh> curious, how to clear the privacy database in 12.04? because clicking "clear all" does not clear it? also disabling the logging does not disable the logging... why?
[08:02] <ubuntuhelp_> linuxfreaker: your question is a bit ambiguous, but this may help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI-howto
[08:02] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: The requirement of the boot disk size being over 3 TiB can be met without using UEFI. I don't understand what you mean by "and application".
[08:02] <Sciottus> ciao

[08:04] <robertzaccour> when editing in Kdenlive whenever I include a title clip, rendering fails. Any suggestions? BTW I know there's #kdenlive but you try getting a response there, especially at this hour.
[08:04] <Jordan_U> ferni: What makes you think that it can't handle GPT? Booting via BIOS doesn't require the firmware to understand partition tables of any form.
[08:04] <ferni> Jordan_U: well tried formatting gpt -> did not find any bootable disks
[08:05] <Jordan_U> ferni: How did you install grub?
[08:05] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Thanks for the link. I am little confused..if thats link I need to follow for Dell Poweredge servers to boot ubuntu
[08:05] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: It says EDK II build environment ...what that is for?
[08:06] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Whats the whole concept here about?
[08:06] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: It seems it covers VM part..
[08:06] <ferni> Jordan_U: I discovered it when trying out fedora, it defaulted to gpt -> did not work. when i formatted it msdos, it worked. But dont know how fedoras installer installs the grub
[08:07] <Jordan_U> ferni: There are some buggy (mostly Intel) BIOS's which do for some reason look at the msdos partition table and check that a partition exists with a boot flag. Luckily all GPT labels also have a protective mbr containing an msdos partition table, so you can still mark the protective partition active and the firmware will happily boot from the disk (loading the bootloader from the mbr, as it should).
[08:07] <zmalex> hi. I have a problem repairing my jetty installation. apt-get remove says it's not installed while apt-get install says it is.
[08:07] <zmalex> I googled to find a fix but i'm out of luck.
[08:07] <ubuntuhelp_> linuxfreaker: EDK II is just the environment and version control system that has been developed for EFI users
[08:08] <ferni> Jordan_U: havent tried with ubuntu, since this created msdos table. this is samsung 5 series with some phoenix bios / uefi
[08:08] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Okie fine...so are we going to build custom firmware
[08:08] <Jordan_U> ferni: Fedora's installer markes a partition active by default when installing with an msdos label, but not when installing via GPT (because technically it's against spec to have an active partition in the protective msdos label). You can still mark a partition active yourself though and solve the problem.
[08:08] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: and the custom UEFI firmware to be able to support Ubuntu 11.4
[08:08] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Correct?
[08:09] <Boothk> auronandace: Thanks, but i already enabled the canonical source. The problem I'm getting is apt-get spewing "407 Proxy authentication required". Problem is, I did authenticate and i can use the internet just fine otherwise
[08:09] <gh> anyone?
[08:09] <auronandace> Boothk: sorry, i have no experience with proxies
[08:09] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: Please answer, why do you want to use UEFI? (And remember, you do *not* need UEFI to have a 3+ TiB boot disk)
[08:10] <ubuntuhelp_> linuxfreaker: thats the idea. your firmware can be ported all the way from 11.04 to 12.04
[08:10] <gh> I'm aware it's because of zeitgeist, but removing that does not solve the problem
[08:10] <robertzaccour> Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive
[08:10] <ferni> Jordan_U: oh, well thanks for the info, have play around a bit if i decide to reinstall sometime in future. just though it was a bios, uefi/gpt worked fine
[08:10] <gh> it seems unity keeps that somewhere?
[08:10] <ubuntuhelp_> linuxfreaker: build instructions for setting up UEFI are on the website
[08:10] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: Thats what I am required to do...please understand
[08:10] <Boothk> help needed with apt-get via proxy. authentication failing for some reason.
[08:11] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Okie I went through the link...
[08:20] <wookienz> hi, i have two nics. When the second nic omes up it adds a second default route that i dont want. How do i stop this behaviour?
[08:20] <SunTsu> wookienz: how do you configure it?
[08:20] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: Since you are using a 3+ TiB disk Ubuntu's installer will use GPT for the disk (and would even on a BIOS based boot). I *think* that if you boot the install CD via UEFI the Ubuntu installer will install grub-efi as well, but that's mostly a guess.
[08:20] <krababbel> wookienz: When you give an address to a link, it seems to get a route automatically. You can delete it using 'ip route delete'
[08:20] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: So u guess it will work if installed it with UEFI option
[08:20] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: Correct.
[08:20] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: Let me try out and check it today
[08:21] <SunTsu> krababbel: of course it gets a route, that's how it should be, but it won't get a default route automagically, except you use dhcp or other magic stuff
[08:21] <robertzaccour> Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive
[08:21] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[08:24] <robertzaccour> Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive
[08:25] <robertzaccour> Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive
[08:26] <SunTsu> robertzaccour: be patient. Asking the same thing twice a minute apart will help you nothing - except if your goal is to annoy people
[08:27] <robertzaccour> SunTsu: I'm waiting a few minutes apart after several people have entered the channel, and I figured surely out of hundreds of people there's kdenlive users that are using 12.04. ya dig?
[08:28] <SunTsu> robertzaccour: well, believe me or not, it's up to you, you just made me be even more annoyed, congrats.
[08:28] <Naeblis> I'm looking for a alarm/notification software, for scheduling my daily time table. Any good recs?
[08:29] <robertzaccour> SunTsu: There is an ignore feature. If you would rather complain about users needing help than feel free to use it. This is a help channel BTW
[08:29] <krababbel> SunTsu: Ah, default route.
[08:29] <SunTsu> robertzaccour: well, if you beg to be on it: so be it
[08:29] <llutz_> robertzaccour: did you ask in #kdenlive ?
[08:29] <robertzaccour> llutz_: of course, and its hard to get a response there at any time of day, especially at this hour.
[08:31] <robertzaccour> SunTsu: Like I said, if you'd rather complain when a user asks for help then it doesn't affect me if I'm on your ignore list. It actually may hurt you if you need my help in the future so think about that.
[08:32] <vexaxv> hey guys, quick question what exactly does the command "sudo apt-get update" do? how come when i use this i get updates sometimes
[08:33] <sburjan> vexaxv: this shecks if there are updates for your system. if there, you get the update window
[08:33] <llutz_> vexaxv: it updates package information for available packages
[08:33] <SunTsu> vexaxv: it updates your package lists - i.e. queries your package repositories for them and they tell you what they have in stock
[08:33] <vexaxv> so how come when i get updates say i get 50 updates..i run it and sometimes ill get 51 instead
[08:33] <vexaxv> or 52
[08:34] <vexaxv> its almosst like i should be running that command before i update
[08:34] <richtroye> I get the idea that in the world of debs there's a two-step procedure for making your system current:  (1) update and then (2) upgrade
[08:35] <SunTsu> vexaxv: yes, of course. You need to do that before using apt-get upgrade - or use some graphical package manager to do that for you
[08:35] <isnnnn> vexaxv: you need to run update before upgrade
[08:35] <vexaxv> so that command updates the lists so i get the right upgrades?
[08:35] <SunTsu> vexaxv: exactly
[08:36] <richtroye> SunTsu Which step is the one that does the large downloads if necessary?
[08:36] <vexaxv> okay thanks guys
[08:36] <vexaxv> one more thing
[08:36] <vexaxv> anyone in here play second life? lol
[08:36] <richtroye> i haven't figured out what to do with my first life yet
[08:36] <vexaxv> lol
[08:36] <vexaxv> play second life and find out :P
[08:36] <SunTsu> vexaxv: this is a support channel. To talk about anything else, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:36] <richtroye> I'd rather code thanks
[08:37] <vexaxv> same i enjoy programming and k suntsu
[08:37] <vexaxv> cya guys thanks for the help
[08:37] <richtroye> SunTsu Which of the steps {update, upgrade} is the step that does the large download, if required?
[08:37] <ndee> I have the output of "pidstat -r" and I want to calculate the average process size. Is it possible with a command to trim all the spaces, so that in max, there is one space as a delimiter?
[08:37] <SunTsu> richtroye: packages are downloaded when doing apt-get upgrade
[08:37] <richtroye> thanks
[08:38] <SunTsu> ndee: you don't need to, just tell awk to use multiple (white)spaces as field separators
[08:38] <ndee> SunTsu, ah, I used "cut", gonna take a look at awk
[08:39] <SunTsu> ndee: awk can sum up on it's own, so awk is what you want anyway - or perl ;)
[08:39] <ndee> SunTsu, oh, perl is a beast :D
[08:42] <u19809> hi all, I use pan under kubuntu.  pan uses gnome keyring manager but when I ener my password it requests a password to access the keyring but the one I provide (which is the one used by kwalletmanager) does not seem to work ?

[08:50] <Joyland12> Hi all
[08:50] <zh> Hi
[08:50] <gaelfx> hi
[08:50] <Joyland12> This is the first time I am joining an IRC
[08:51] <psypher246> hello all, is there anyone here with some openvpn ssl cert generation experience? I am a bt stuck on something silly that used to work fine before 12.04 and all howtos say the same thing
[08:52] <SunTsu> psypher246: Please, ask what you want to know, straight to the point and with as many details possible
[08:52] <psypher246> cool,  I am having some trouble trying to run build-ca and keep getting error: http://pastebin.com/kn4kVBZX re openssl.cnf not being found etc. I have tired several howto's online and fixes for this error and none work
[08:53] <psypher246> the one fix is to run source vars as per ubuntu howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN
[08:53] <psypher246> other fix is to run sudo su firts then . ./vars
[08:53] <Fudge> hi,  dont seem to be able to find where 'connect to server' can remember the session to add to bookmarks without editting .gtk-bookmarks
[08:54] <SunTsu> psypher246: well, I use tinyca or build certs using openssl directly
[08:55] <psypher246> SunTsu: :)
[08:56] <psypher246> SunTsu: thank you I will most definietly check that out
[08:58] <gaelfx> Fudge: what "connect to server" are you talking about?
[09:01] <Fudge> gaelfx  from nautilus, connect to server int he file menu where you can select a hostname ssh etc, gnome2 had an option to save the server info and give it a lable which would then be available from the bookmarks menu in nautilus
[09:03] <esak> ubuntu write message " waiting for network configuration" for long time when booting :( .
[09:03] <gaelfx> Fudge: can't you just use ctl+D once you connect?
[09:04] <SunTsu> esak: it's looking for dhcp. If you don't ned that: turn it off
[09:04] <Fudge> gaelfx  what does that do
[09:04] <gaelfx> Fudge: creates a bookmark
[09:04] <esak> suntsu how turn off it ?
[09:04] <gaelfx> Fudge: or there's the Bookmarks menu right around the File menu
[09:06] <SunTsu> esak: depends on how you configured it. Normally you ned to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[09:06] <Fudge> gaelfx  thats very helpful thank you
[09:06] <Fudge> :)
[09:07]  * nyuszika7h waves
[09:07] <gaelfx> Fudge: no problem
[09:08] <polishguy94> Hello! I've been using 12.04 for two weeks, sound has been working fine but yesterday my soundcard (CA0106) stopped working: it is detected, everything looks fine but It behaves like it was muted (but it isn't!)
[09:08] <esak> suntsu . i open interface white gedit. so how turn off it ?
[09:09] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: what does alsamixer reveal?
[09:09] <SunTsu> esak: how do you configure your network?
[09:10] <esak> suntsu im beaginer. i want solve problem. what do now ?
[09:10] <polishguy94> ThinkT510 - nothing's muted there
[09:11] <SunTsu> esak: well, answering my question qould be a good start. How do you configure the network you use?
[09:11] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: ah, so no MM?
[09:11] <Partyschaum> bls
[09:12] <you_> aj
[09:12] <polishguy94> ThinkT510: no MM
[09:12]  * nikolja Dobar dan
[09:12] <NoFact> dobar den
[09:12] <polishguy94> I have two soundcards, though, maybe the unused one was switched to default, how to check that?
[09:13] <NoFact> s
[09:13] <esak> suntsu i now used ethernet cable. but wireless isnot in network manager list
[09:13] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: might be f6 in alsamixer
[09:14] <SunTsu> esak: OK, you use network manager, that's what I wanted to know
[09:14] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: should say in the top right of alsamixer
[09:14] <fidel_> hi - is there another method then using 'last' to check the last login attempt of each defined user on an ubuntu-box?
[09:14] <polishguy94> That's weird
[09:15] <polishguy94> Now i realised that when I turn on alsamixer the tray icon says muted
[09:15] <SunTsu> esak: I'd use "auto lo" in network/interfaces, nothing more
[09:15] <ferni> polishguy94: hmm, what if you open the sound settings and toggle output volume off and on again. I've had couple of times situation similar that everytings seems to be fine but no sound and that solved the ting
[09:16] <ChesterX> hey guys, after i installed ibus to tipe chinese all my deadkey (^,´,`, etc...) got killed. is there a way of keeping ibus active and still enable them?
[09:16] <esak> suntsu i use it too. i pase content of interface file here.....auto lo
[09:16] <esak> iface lo inet loopback
[09:16] <esak> auto dsl-provider
[09:16] <esak> iface dsl-provider inet ppp
[09:16] <esak> pre-up /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

[09:17] <FloodBot1> esak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:17] <ThinkT510> !paste | esak
[09:17] <esak> auto wlan0
[09:17] <polishguy94> ferni: doesn't work
[09:17] <polishguy94> I unmuted the tray icon but still broken
[09:18] <polishguy94> Is there a way to easily reinstall the sound drivers?
[09:19] <DracoZA> Question regarding printing, the tab "server settings" has been removed from 12.04 so where do I enable publishing of printers ?
[09:19] <esak> suntsu see content of interface file here .  http://paste.ubuntu.com/964227/
[09:19] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: sound drivers are in the kernel, it seems more of a config issue than a driver issue
[09:19] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: try reinstalling pulse
[09:20] <polishguy94> ThinkT510: apt doesn't find it
[09:20] <polishguy94> Did you mean PulseAudio?
[09:21] <ThinkT510> yes
[09:21] <SunTsu> esak: there's a auto wlan0, too, that prolly is what takes time
[09:21] <polishguy94> Do i need to restart the system before installing again or not necessarily
[09:21] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: not sure sorry
[09:22] <SunTsu> esak: and why do you use ppp dialin there? You could do that with networkmanager, too
[09:23] <pungi-man> does anyone know a good site or pdf file to learn python??
[09:23] <ThinkT510> pungi-man: #python
[09:23] <esak> suntsu . what shud do now ?? plz help me
[09:24] <pungi-man> thanks for the channel but I want to learn python from scratch?? I am familiar with programming!
[09:25] <DracoZA> Can anyone tell me if there has been a specific change to printer sharing in 12.04, everything was working without much config in 11.x and now nothing works, I cant see or connect to a shared printer
[09:25] <ThinkT510> pungi-man: the guys in #python can give great advice on how to accomplish that
[09:26] <SunTsu> esak: it does not seem to be dhcp, pppoe setup probably takes some time, and there's no way to speed it up
[09:28] <psypher246> pungi-man: udacity.com
[09:28] <steveccc> has anyone noticed lots of 550 errors over the last 24 hours - I am having problems sending mails from my google apps account
[09:28] <pungi-man> thanks psypher246 !!
[09:28] <psypher246> learn to program a search engine from scratch
[09:28] <psypher246> in python
[09:29] <psypher246> and other advance prograaming courses, all free
[09:29] <psypher246> it is awesome@!
[09:29] <pungi-man> its really a good site psypher246 !
[09:30] <psypher246> it's amazing, i finished that 3 weeks ago, doing web app dev now
[09:30] <esak> suntsu no way !! so bad.
[09:30] <ludkiller> ya ++ to psypher246
[09:30] <nyuszika7h> !lucid
[09:30] <psypher246> realy realy realy good, i can't stress it enouhg, if u want to learn to code, doit, just a few weeks at your own pace,
[09:31] <DracoZA> I dont know why I bother with Linux in an office environment just creates more work for myself
[09:31] <SunTsu> esak: I'd only use "auto lo" and do the rest using networkmanager
[09:31] <psypher246> pungi-man: start it now, you can cath the last 2 weeks up quick
[09:32] <acicula> DracoZA: best to discuss that in -offtopic unless you have a particular support question
[09:32] <nyuszika7h> Is #ubuntu+1 invite-only because there is no newer release than 12.04?
[09:32] <pungi-man> yeah I have already started it
[09:32] <DracoZA> acicula ive asked a question twice but no response
[09:32] <esak> suntsu my dhcp is on or off ?
[09:32] <pomeisl> hali
[09:32] <richtroye> I have a question.  I just found that on my ubuntu 12.4 with mplayer and smplayer installed, a video plays as a small image which on another machine (fedora 12) is resized to fit the whole window.  Mplayer used there too.
[09:32] <SunTsu> esak: it's off, there's no dhcp in your interfaces file
[09:33] <esak> suntsu after i connected wireless internet  it happen.
[09:33] <richtroye> Even when I type 'f' during mplayer play to go fullscreen, and it does go fullscreen, the image is still small and centered in that full screen.
[09:33] <acicula> DracoZA: i doubt anyone here can tell you of a specific change to the printer subsystem
[09:33] <richtroye> Video in question is captured from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEpFnyDBj8w
[09:33] <esak>  suntsu before connected wireless internet is was normaly
[09:34] <richtroye> Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to get the 12.4 mplayer to go large-image in this situation?
[09:34] <pungi-man> psypher246, thanks again!!
[09:34] <acicula> DracoZA: except that im sure it still uses cups
[09:34] <psypher246> pungi-man: pleasure
[09:34] <ajay__> gaa
[09:34] <ludkiller> psypher246 , any website like this one to learn Objective C and Assembly ?
[09:35] <ludkiller> theres one more website like coursera.org where i learn Cryptography
[09:35] <acicula> richtroye: you can change the video driver output of mplayer, or tell it to stretch the video. youll have to look in the man page on how to do that though
[09:35] <richtroye> acicula I know about the -aspect option but I haven't tried it.
[09:35] <polishguy94> I've reinstalled pulseaudio - there's still no sound and sound icon disappeared from my top bar
[09:35] <richtroye> trying that now
[09:35] <psypher246> well not sure but check this: http://www.hardocp.com/news/2012/05/02/harvard_mit_announce_free_online_classes/
[09:36] <richtroye> No difference
[09:37] <DracoZA> acicula certainly there would have been notice of an increase in questions/problems relating to printing, I have done a clean installation and a simple task such as sharing a printer doesnt work, the "server settings" tab under printer properties has vanished but when you go to the printer properties to try and enable publishing you get the message to go to "server settings" to enable publishing
[09:37] <DracoZA> which is no longer there!
[09:37] <ludkiller> thanks i will get updated regularly about that ...... thanks again psypher246
[09:37] <polishguy94> fucking linux, nothing can just work, there must always something get broken without doing anything. PIECE OF SHIT
[09:37] <acicula> DracoZA: hmm thats clearly not right
[09:38] <DracoZA> acicula thats what I thought
[09:38] <ajay__> hey all
[09:39] <ajay__> i just found a cool video
[09:39] <ajay__> just check this out
[09:39] <ajay__> Cool Futuristic Desktop by necopost
[09:39] <ajay__> on youtube
[09:39] <ikonia> ajay__: please don'tpost in here
[09:39] <FloodBot1> ajay__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:39] <ajay__> ok
[09:39] <ikonia> ajay__: this is a support channel, we are not interested in videos
[09:39] <ajay__> i need to know how to install this
[09:39] <ajay__> sure. i know
[09:40] <DracoZA> and the worst is I now have the staff in the office giving me crap because they cant print and of course linux gets blamed, it's already an uphill battle trying to implement linux in a MS environment and then to have printing issues...anyway im sure my ramblings are falling on deaf ears.
[09:40] <ajay__> could anyone tell whats the error in the program. the author is not available
[09:40] <ikonia> ajay__: error in what program ?
[09:41] <ajay__> please follow the link
[09:42] <ajay__> its on necopost [dot] com
[09:42] <ikonia> ajay__: I don't want to watch a video
[09:42] <ikonia> ajay__: just tell me the problem you want resolved
[09:42] <fg> Hi
[09:42] <ajay__> ok
[09:42] <ajay__> its based on conky
[09:42] <ikonia> ajay__: what's the problem you want resolved
[09:42] <ajay__> the configuration file has an error
[09:43] <ikonia> ajay__: what is the application called
[09:43] <ThinkT510> ikonia: like blood out of a stone...
[09:43] <ajay__> the name is conky-Tronn.. it is a  Tron like theme
[09:43] <ajay__> its on necopost [dot] com
[09:43] <fidel_> ajay__: ever considered asking in #conky?
[09:43] <ajay__> i tried
[09:43] <ajay__> as I'm so excited and want it now
[09:43] <fidel_> as it should somehow be morte conky related then ubuntu? just my feeling
[09:44] <ajay__> mm
[09:44] <ajay__> I gave up for a while and came here
[09:44] <richtroye> acicula I found the issue.  I had a second separate mplayer process running.  When I got rid of that, the video I was concerned about full-screened just fine.  Interesting behavior, an mplayer bug evidently.
[09:44] <ikonia> ajay__: conky-tron is just image files for conky
[09:44] <ikonia> it's just a normal conky install
[09:44] <ajay__> I installed conky
[09:44] <fidel_> its always a good idea to ask in the matching place - you wouldnt ask a bmw-seller for a benz either. anyway - good luck
[09:44] <acicula> richtroye: one mplayer just hogging the video out. you can set it to null explicitly
[09:45] <ajay__> and when I try to change the configuration to this file
[09:45] <ajay__> That he have posted in the website
[09:45] <Lazik> ajay__: wa this interface looks good
[09:45] <ajay__> yup!
[09:45] <ikonia> ajay__: if you are using someone elses config, you need to talk to that person about his config file
[09:45] <ajay__> that program goes into an infinite loop or something
[09:46] <fidel_> or troubleshooting that config using comments etc
[09:46] <ajay__> ok..
[09:46] <fidel_> anyway -> give #conky a try in addition to here ;)
[09:46] <ajay__> I thought you guys may have tried something like this
[09:46] <Fira> plop
[09:46] <anatole> plop
[09:46] <ikonia> Fira: anatole ?
[09:47] <MarKsaitis> how do u all find 12.04 LTS so far?
[09:47] <MarKsaitis> :)
[09:48] <ajay__> i never tried unity
[09:48] <ThinkT510> MarKsaitis: suprisingly good, need any help?
[09:48] <ajay__> its not because i hate it using..
[09:48] <richtroye> MarKsaitis I'm hating it less and less !!
[09:48] <ajay__> try cinnamon
[09:48] <Fira> no
[09:48] <MarKsaitis> ThinkT510, I guess not, I have installed it 2 weeks ago and kept upgrading, I just guess that I am all up to date
[09:48] <ajay__> best gnome 2 like gnome 3 interfaec
[09:50] <anatole> fnfjfjfj
[09:50] <richtroye> I got my twelve virtual workspaces by hacking a bit, arranged in a 3 x 4 grid in the workspace switcher, and I found how to set focus follows mouse, MarKsaitis -- those are always my two first hurdles.
[09:50] <fidel_> !ot > anatole
[09:51] <MarKsaitis> ;]
[09:51] <richtroye> It's so nice to think that in five years this system will still be supported !!!
[09:51] <fg> What differences between Integrated graphics and embedded graphics?
[09:51] <ludkiller> which program
[09:55] <somethinginteres> How do I install applications to my SSD? I have a 60GB SSD as my / partition but apps don't seem to install to the SSD? How can I make most of my apps install to the SSD?
[09:55] <ikonia> somethinginteres: apps will go where the package tells them to
[09:55] <alankila> somethinginteres: well where do the applications install if not on /?
[09:56] <zzz_> ?
[09:56] <zzz_> help
[09:56] <DJones> !ask | zzz_
[09:56] <somethinginteres> alankila: I guess it has to be installing on there... just not seeing any speed increases. Odd.
[09:56] <ThinkT510> zzz_: absolutely
[09:56] <ThinkT510> zzz_: explain
 ssd is your main disk ? I mean / ??
[09:57] <zzz_> ??
[09:57] <mrsuchyPL> zzz_ ?
[09:57] <zzz_> exit
[09:57] <somethinginteres> mrsuchyPL: SSD is my main disk. It's my / partition.
[09:57] <zzz_> quit
[09:57] <Imrac> how do I add multiple ipv6 addresses to a single interface in /etc/network/interfaces?
[09:58] <somethinginteres> mrsuchyPL: booting is very quick. App loading, not really
[09:58] <Myrtti> somethinginteres: what other partitions do you have then?
[09:58] <somethinginteres> Myrtti: only /home
[09:58] <fg> My graphic card is Radeon HD 4200. In thes page: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx what item should i select? Desktop graphics, embedded graphics or Integrated motherboard graphics?
[09:58] <Myrtti> somethinginteres: and only one harddrive, the SSD?
[09:59] <somethinginteres> Myrtti: nah, different drive for /home
[09:59] <mrsuchyPL> somethinginteres I dont understand you. App dont install where you set or what ?and what is mean "App loading, not really" ?? :)
[10:00] <mrsuchyPL> tak you're time and write a problem
[10:00] <mrsuchyPL> take*
[10:00] <ThinkT510> mrsuchyPL: he means booting is quick but loading apps isn't
[10:00] <somethinginteres> mrsuchyPL: sorry, I mean that applications install but I am not noticing a fast loading speed from them I'd expect for an SSD
[10:00] <LgL> fg: try this one  http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
[10:00] <mrsuchyPL> I see
[10:00] <alkisg> 32 bit is still the recommented download? I thought in UDS it was decided to switch to 64 bit as the recommented one, does someone have any links to why the opposite was decided?
[10:00] <krababbel> somethinginteres: usually apps will load config from your home directory
[10:01] <somethinginteres> krababbel: Ah.. that might be it.
[10:01] <krababbel> somethinginteres: you probably could point ~/.config for instance to a partition on your SSD
[10:01] <airtonix> somethinginteres: really depends what it is...
[10:02] <krababbel> I'd guess
[10:02] <airtonix> somethinginteres: mozilla programs like to keep an sqlite database in your home folder
[10:02] <fg> LgL: Thanks. which item did you select?
[10:02] <Myrtti> alkisg: usage surveys revealed that a bigger percentage of users were on 32-bit than was expected
[10:02] <somethinginteres> airtonix: a good e.g. would be VMWare where SSD speed would be nice. I note it does have a .vmware folder in /home
[10:03] <alkisg> Thank you Myrtti, I also found a ML thread here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-April/035054.html
[10:03] <alankila> Myrtti: you mean, incapable of using 64-bit OS?
[10:03] <airtonix> somethinginteres: not familiar with vmware
[10:03] <somethinginteres> airtonix: np
[10:03] <richtroye> I am having much trouble capturing the resize arrows, both corner and side, on a typical window in Ubuntu 12.4.  I'm running it under VMware Workstation 8, but I've never had such trouble with other OSes I run that way.
[10:03] <LgL> hd radeon 4xxx... but its same for all radeon
[10:03] <LgL> fg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[10:04] <LgL> check that out and folow it
[10:04] <LgL> :D
[10:04] <krababbel> somethinginteres: what do you mean? I guess putting the vm disk on the ssd would help.
[10:04] <richtroye> Is there a way to increase the border width by a pixel or two, maybe, so I can get a better purchase on those resizing arrows?
[10:04] <aviksil> I'm having issues with system tray icons in precise. many applications (e.g. xchat) does not show the system tray icon
[10:04] <krababbel> somethinginteres: but you can specifiy the folder for the disk files
[10:04] <airtonix> richtroye: hold alt, middle click then drag
[10:05] <aviksil> this was not the case for oneiric though
[10:05] <airtonix> richtroye: note: no need to aim for edges or corners
[10:05] <bubuz> hi guys question. box A cant get through firewall to internet, but can get to box B which can get out to the internet. I need to be able to update and install things on box A. How would I go about an SSH tunnel allowing this?
[10:05] <somethinginteres> krababbel: I might try that actually, thanks.
[10:06] <richtroye> airtonix Thanks, and I've just now found that smashing Alt-F8 helps too
[10:06] <Myrtti> alankila: I can't remember the details, sorry :-|
[10:06] <SunTsu> bubuz: use ssh's socks proxy
[10:06] <airtonix> richtroye: unfortunately gnomes resize and drag keyboard only shortcuts fail in comparison to kde
[10:06] <richtroye> All the same, those resizing arrows are flaky in the extreme and should be made unflaky either by removing them or fixing them
[10:07] <airtonix> bubuz: if you want a gui interface to managing ssh tunnels , try gstm
[10:07] <SunTsu> bubuz: -D
[10:07] <airtonix> richtroye: that's a problem on every single operating system i've come across though
[10:07] <bubuz> airtonix, not bothered about that, would rather CLI
[10:07] <airtonix> richtroye: at least linux has lazy grab to  resize and drag with
[10:07] <bubuz> SunTsu, please elaborate
[10:08] <richtroye> airtonix I don't know what middle-click is on my laptop, and the couple of things I tried with Alt didn't work
[10:08] <airtonix> richtroye: you can change it to right click instead of middle click with dconf-editor or gsettings
[10:08] <richtroye> airtonix Is that Alt-F8 thing called "lazy grab"?  Sounds apt
[10:08] <alankila> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-April/035088.html appears to say that 25 % of machines would fall out
[10:09] <alankila> I can not actually believe this is true, but I haven't read the mail yet
[10:09] <richtroye> I guess I'll just remember Alt-F8 for my own personal use
[10:09] <airtonix> richtroye: no the holding alt, then clicking to drag or resize in any of the general quarters of a window is what i refer to as 'lazy resize/drag'
[10:09] <richtroye> airtonix Oh okay.
[10:09] <SunTsu> bubuz: openssh has a socks proxy facility built in. Use -d <port>, put that  into /etc/apt/apt.conf and there you go
[10:10] <airtonix> richtroye: i don't think there is five minutes that pass each day where i'm not using those shortcuts
[10:10] <fg> LgL: Thanks. A useful page:). but i want to understand what type my graphic card is?
[10:10] <SunTsu> er -D it is, not -d
[10:10] <richtroye> Oh by the way, I'm an xchat developer, and I have a patch I'd like to test on 12.4.  Can someone point me to a cookbook on how to get and build a ubuntu source package, so that I can know and perhaps install the build prerequisites for xchat?
[10:11] <alankila> richtroye: apt-get build-dep xchat should get you started
[10:11] <richtroye> thansk AlanBell
[10:12] <alankila> the debian packages are typically build by some invocation like "fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch" at the package root
[10:12] <krababbel> Any solution to problems in gnome terminal with irssi?
[10:12] <ThinkT510> !source | richtroye
[10:12] <richtroye> alankila  Wow, that's pretty nifty!
[10:12] <alankila> oh yes, apt-get source xchat downloads and patches the source, too. I somehow forgot to mention that.
[10:13] <Imrac> how do I add multiple ipv6 addresses to a single interface in /etc/network/interfaces?
[10:14] <krababbel> Imrac: tried adding address lines?
[10:14] <Imrac> krababbel yes, first thing I tried
[10:15] <krababbel> Imrac: You can do 'ip addr add' command
[10:17] <dubey> hello
[10:18] <Imrac> krababbel That works fine, but doesn't survive reboot. I tried 'up' and 'post-up' with ip addr and ifconfig add and it still wont re-add the ip addresses
[10:18] <Guest67068> Good ornig for all.
[10:18] <dubey> i have installed ubuntu 12.04 and trying to connect to my old server. It is now allowing me to login
[10:19] <krababbel> Imrac: it doesn't survive probably, yes. Sorry, no idea how to tell Ubuntu to do that. Probably a script thing?
[10:19] <Guest67068> I update my ubuntu 12.04 now, and the system not working in 3D mode after update, anyone have this problem?
[10:19] <bubuz> SunTsu, there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf file
[10:20] <Imrac> krababbel, yeah I suppose, just was hopeing for a more elegant solution
[10:22] <ghosthand> hello
[10:23] <dubey> any hind
[10:23] <dubey> hint
[10:23] <Lazik> "It is now allowing me to login" - so what's your problem?
[10:24] <dubey> Lazik: sorry, not allowing me to login
[10:24] <dubey> giving Permission Denied error. I am using .pem file to login
[10:26] <krababbel> Imrac: looks like aliases are also a method. Ubuntu seems to generally only support using network manager also.   http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/create-virtual-network-adapters-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[10:26] <bubuz> hi guys question. box A cant get through firewall to internet, but can get to box B which can get out to the internet. I need to be able to update and install things on box A. How would I go about an SSH tunnel allowing this?
[10:27] <DropsOfSerenity> nvidia's new driver has XrandR support!!! :O This is the best thing to happen for nvidia linux driver in years, i'm so happy.
[10:27] <DropsOfSerenity> woops thought i was in offtopic sorry.
[10:28] <polishguy94> Please have a look on my ubuntu log: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=34f9d5e5dcf331463d46a82235978064f81af8ba
[10:33] <sveinse> I'm running Natty and all of the sudden my wlan (iwlagn) does not support ad-hoc mode. iwconfig reports "operation not supported". This worked a few weeks ago...
[10:37] <bubuz> noone know the answer to my question?
[10:37] <savr> hi
[10:37] <savr> my dns isn't working with VPN
[10:37] <ikanobori> savr: Be sure to have the VPN push DNS options to clients over DHCP.
[10:37] <ikanobori> Like with dnsmasq or such.
[10:38] <savr> ikanobori, is that a server setting?
[10:38] <ikanobori> That is on the server side, yes.
[10:39] <bubuz> hi guys question. box A cant get through firewall to internet, but can get to box B which can get out to the internet. I need to be able to update and install things on box A. How would I go about an SSH tunnel allowing this?
[10:39] <savr> I'm using pptpd
[10:42] <SunTsu> bubuz: I already told you, nearly an hour ago
[10:43] <NikP> Hi
[10:43] <NikP> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is the best Ubuntu version
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> bubuz: if you run:   echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf     is it ok?
[10:44] <esak> nikp is not
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | bubuz shows how to make an SSH tunnel
[10:44] <bubuz> SunTsu, you didn't tell me you told me "ssh -D" and wouldnt explain further. sorry for cleaqrly being a fucking noob but thats not a full explanation in my book
[10:44] <NikP> I'm in school, even there it will use it
[10:44] <NikP> esak: Why?
[10:44] <esak> i have big problem nikp
[10:44] <fg> LgL: ?
[10:44] <SunTsu> !language | bubuz
[10:44] <bubuz> ActionParsnip, no.
[10:45] <bubuz> np, apologies.
[10:45] <NikP> esak: which?
[10:45] <esak> canu help to solve problem nikp
[10:46] <esak> i connected to  wireless internet. then alwayes i want enter to ubuntu show this message for long time" waiting for network configure" nikp
[10:46] <NikP> esak: I have a query with you
[10:46] <SunTsu> bubuz: I told you to use -D <port>, which creates a socks proxy, which you can put into apt.conf. Which part don't you get? Try to read ssh's manpage, read apt.conf's manpage, expedially the proxy part, try that and ask specifically if you run into problems
[10:47] <NikP> esak: Are you running Ubuntu on al Live CD?
[10:47] <SunTsu> especially even
[10:47] <esak> no  nikp. i install it
[10:47] <fidel_> esak: i had that issue as well - unfortunatly i dont remember in detail how i solved it - but i started googling for the 60sec error message and ended up echoing out a line in a config file
[10:48] <bubuz> SunTsu, there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf
[10:48] <bubuz> for a start.
[10:48] <SunTsu> bubuz: then create one. There is none by default, if you create one apt will honor it
[10:48] <esak> fidel_ can u help more
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> bubuz: you can make it, and it will be used
[10:49] <fidel_> esak: like re-googling for you? nop
[10:49] <LgL> fg: yes im here
[10:49] <fidel_> esak: if noone inhere answers - consider feeding your search-engine with the exact wait-message you see while booting
[10:50] <fidel_> esak: this will lead you to several forum posts handling that topic
[10:50] <esak> yes. plz. i search very . but cant solve this problem
[10:50] <slimcharles> can anyone help me with my proftpd server?
[10:50] <fg> LgL: I want to understand what type my graphic card is?
[10:50] <esak> fidel_
[10:50] <slimcharles> it always goes into passive mode after login, and then diconnnects
[10:51] <ptrkmj> isn't there /var/log/messages file in ubuntu?
[10:52] <fidel_> ptrkmj: i dont have it either here on 12.04
[10:52] <ptrkmj> cause i need to check it's contents but the file doesn't exist
[10:52] <ptrkmj> this should be some kind of system log
[10:52] <fidel_> syslog?
[10:52] <ptrkmj> maybe
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> fidel_: try:  dmesg | less
[10:53] <fidel_> ptrkmj: ActionParsnip means you with that ;)
[10:53] <LgL> fg: Mobility radeon HD 4xxx series
[10:53] <LgL> for notebook
[10:53] <esak> fidel_ i search and do several way. but have problem yet. can u help me
[10:53] <ptrkmj> ActionParsnip: no, dmesg lists kernel buffer not syslog
[10:53] <fg> LgL: Desktop Graphic?
[10:53] <fidel_> esak: i told you everything i am able to tell you without doing a search again myself
[10:54] <fidel_> so no - i am not willing to search for you at that point
[10:55] <SunTsu> esak: http://lmgtfy.com/ has a comprehensive guid on your topic
[10:55] <ThinkT510> SunTsu: please don't use that
[10:55] <LgL> fg: the driver is a bundle of alot of drivers.
[10:56] <Imrac> well if anyone was interested, found this work around to multiple ipv6 per interface http://goo.gl/C9qR5
[10:56] <SunTsu> ThinkT510: why?
[10:56] <ThinkT510> SunTsu: it is rude
[10:56] <LgL> do you have a laptop or a desktop?
[10:56] <bubuz> SunTsu, ssh -fCND localhost:1080 user@remoteboxthathasaccesstointernet
[10:56] <bubuz> then I set my firefox to use proxy localhost 1080 to connect
[10:56] <bubuz> but i still cant get any pages.. ?
[10:57] <fg> LgL: Thanks alot for your help:)
[10:57] <SunTsu> ThinkT510: so is urging others to search stuff because "you" don't want to
[10:58] <bubuz> any ideas?
[10:58] <SunTsu> bubuz: Did you try using an IP address? Maybe your dns server does not resolve everything
[10:58] <esak> suntsu http://lmgtfy.com/?q=waiting+for+network+configuration
[10:58] <SunTsu> bubuz: and: what kind of proxy did you setup in firefox?
[10:58] <ThinkT510> esak: don't do that
[10:59] <esak> fidel_ i searching this http://lmgtfy.com/?q=waiting+for+network+configuration
[10:59] <LgL> fg: no problem
[10:59] <bubuz> SunTsu, tried IP, no go. Manual proxy config -> HTTP proxy and us this roxy for all protocols checked
[10:59] <esak> thinkt510 do u know my problem ?
[11:00] <ThinkT510> esak: no, but lmgtfy.com shouldn't be used here
[11:00] <SunTsu> bubuz: it's no http proxy. It's a socks proxy, I wrote that multiple times already
[11:00] <fg> LgL: :)
[11:01] <esak> ok thinkt510
[11:01] <bubuz> ok well socks proxy is set to localhost and same port to
[11:01] <bubuz> SOCKS 5
[11:01] <SunTsu> bubuz: did you configure both proxy types?
[11:01] <sarthor>  Any one configure shorewall and LSM on Ubuntu-server, I have Ubuntu-server 12.04 installed. but do not know how to configure, Shorewall channel says "there is no .deb pkg, and you can Guess why there is only rpm " Any help please.
[11:02] <bubuz> SunTsu, ah ha - i had to clear all other options other than socks5
[11:02] <bubuz> working now
[11:03] <szal> sarthor: learn iptables
[11:03] <fidel_> sarthor: shorewall is in the 12.04 repos
[11:03] <bubuz> so in apt.cfg - what would I need to put in there to tell it to use the proxy?
[11:03] <fidel_> so i dont see why you would need to dl it from a project page in the first place
[11:03] <SunTsu> bubuz: well, of course, else you end up trying to use the wrong proxy type, which won't work
[11:03] <sarthor> fidel_, shorewll installed. but problem with LSM installation
[11:03] <fidel_> k
[11:03] <sarthor> fidel_, there is no .dep pakge.
[11:03] <bubuz> thank you SunTsu and thanks for your patience
[11:04] <szal> what is LSM?
[11:04] <sarthor> szal, http://lsm.foobar.fi/
[11:04] <t0rx__> L3top,  still not having any luck with that PPA, do you think I need a more customized xorg.conf than what X -configure puts out?
[11:04] <bubuz> SunTsu, how would I set apt.cfg to point to proxy then?
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> or Linu Security Modules?
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> x
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> ah
[11:06] <t0rx__> L3top, I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel from the ubuntu-x-swat PPA, did an X -configure, replaced "vesa" with "intel" but still get an X crash with "no screens"
[11:07] <fidel_> sarthor: so your issue is that shorewall itself is available via apt - but the LinkStatusMonitor not. checked if that additional thing has maybe a ppa somewhere?
[11:07] <SunTsu> bubuz: just read about that, you need to use tsocks: tsocks apt-get update for example. apt doesn't know how to handle socks on it's own
[11:07] <fidel_> or considered (never used that function) to transform the .rpm to a .deb? which should be possible in theory
[11:07] <sarthor> fidel_, one can not install lsm via that comand. I asked in shorewall chan too
[11:07] <bubuz> ok thx
[11:08] <bubuz> grrr but I cant apt-get isntall tsocks
[11:08] <bubuz> lol
[11:08] <fidel_> ok i give up ;)
[11:08] <sarthor>  but John Cena never given up.
[11:08] <SunTsu> bubuz: ob course not. Just download it manually and scp it there
[11:09] <t0rx__> Can anyone help me get my GMA3600 card into 3D mode?  / Using a better driver than vesa?
[11:09] <bubuz> yeah thats what am doing, thx SunTsu
[11:09] <bubuz> :)
[11:10] <SunTsu> bubuz: apt-get --print-uris install socks5
[11:10] <SunTsu> er tsocks is what I mean

[11:13] <t0rx__> GMA3600 driver help anyone?
[11:13] <qEssence> anyone knows the internal name of gnome-shell? im tryng to call it from .xsession archive.
[11:13] <KM0201> shape: open a terminal and sudo update-grub2   and see what happens
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> shape: if you run:  sudo update-grub   does it show the XP OS?

[11:16] <shape> and memtest
[11:16] <qEssence> Well MonkeyDustm , thanks, but that does not answer my question :)
[11:16] <qEssence> I need the internal name of the session, i.e: gnome-fallback
[11:17] <qEssence> But the gnome-shell one :)
[11:17] <jrib> qEssence: why don't you check what the session file for gnome-shell does?
[11:18] <rawiramdhan> I have a problem with parted, someone experience with that?
[11:18] <qEssence> jrib: I think i dont know how to do that, im sorry.
[11:19] <jrib> qEssence: most (all default?) X session files live in /usr/share/xsessions/
[11:19] <hellknight> how does Ubuntu work on the AMD Zacate series processors/APU

[11:21] <dominik> Hi everyone. I've got some audio trouble. I have broken Jack3.5 port on my laptop. It's works fine, but it cannot recognize if is jack plugged in or out but it sometimes getting signal if i move a cable. I solved problem by disabling Auto-Mute on alsamixer and i made keybord schortcuts. Now after upgrade to new kernel and entire system (11.10 -> 12.04) Auto-mute option nothing changes. It's disabled but it works. Have someone any idea?
[11:21] <jrib> shape: can you actually see your windows partition in gparted?
[11:21] <imetallica> any issues when updating from 11.10 to 12.04?
[11:21] <jrib> !notes | imetallica
[11:21] <hellknight> imetallica, no problems

[11:22] <MonkeyDust> Lipu  it helps if you started with a question
[11:22] <imetallica> jrib, hellknight: thanks
[11:22] <shape> jrib, yes and it's with an exclamation mark and it says unknown
[11:23] <jrib> shape: can you mount it?
[11:23] <shape> jrib, no, it only has "unmount" and it's greyed out
[11:23] <jrib> shape: what happens when you try to mount it?
[11:23] <shape> jrib, I don't have that option.
[11:23] <Lipu> I was facing some problem few days ago and come here to know the solution but after that I found the problem and the got the solution by own, that was about the the dhcp client cannot getting DNS information automatically
[11:23] <jrib> shape: use a terminal
[11:24] <shape> jrib, okay this might take me some time because I don't know how to do that
[11:24] <ThinkT510> !yay | Lipu
[11:24] <jrib> shape: pastebin output of « sudo fdisk -l »
[11:24] <shape> jrib, okay
[11:24] <Daghdha> Hi, i use unity 2d. Is there any way i can move apps from workspace to workspace with the mouse instead of keyboard shortcuts?
[11:25] <Daghdha> Perhaps even a small workspace preview for in the top bar, like there was in the bottom of the old gnome desktop
[11:25] <KM0201> Daghdha: right click the window and choose the workspace you want it on
[11:25] <Daghdha> sigh
[11:25] <Daghdha> I aske dit few days back too, forgot already
[11:25] <KM0201> did i misunderstand what you're asking?
[11:25] <shape> jrib, http://pastebin.com/jDhPwVc2
[11:26] <Daghdha> No KM
[11:26] <KM0201> oh
[11:26] <jrib> shape: pastebin output of « mount »
[11:26] <Daghdha> It just doesn't work when the app is maximized. Thanks,
[11:26] <Lipu> the problem with the configuration "request" of the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpclient.conf
[11:26] <shape> jrib, okay, it might take me a bit because I have to look up how to mount from terminal
[11:26] <Daghdha> I'd still perform oldschool way though, so if there's a way of adding that i'm listening :)
[11:26] <jrib> shape: no just run « mount »
[11:27] <Daghdha> in gnome i just ahd the tiny workspaces in the bar. And i could even drag apps from workspace to workspace there
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> Lipu  start from the beginning, what have you done and tried before you came here for help - and what is it you want to do
[11:27] <Lipu> I just add the "domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name" those line at the request section and the problem is solved then
[11:27] <shape> jribm, http://pastebin.com/UMt2qGPC
[11:27] <Lipu> that's to every one byeeeeee
[11:28] <ThinkT510> MonkeyDust: i think he is explaining how he solved a problem
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> oh :)
[11:28] <Lipu> yes I am just here to share how I solved the problem
[11:28] <shape> jrib, I tried mounting it and it says "The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS."
[11:28] <Lipu> :)
[11:30] <jrib> shape: out of curiousity, what does « swapon -s » return?
[11:31] <rawiramdhan> I guess parted doesnt like my ext4 partition
[11:31] <shape> jrib, btw I just noticed in gparted that the partition has a boot flag
[11:31] <shape> swapon -s /dev/sda6                               partition	6417404	0	-1
[11:31] <jrib> shape: just « swapon -s »
[11:32] <shape> jrib, yeah that's what I did
[11:32] <shape> jrib, and that's what I got back
[11:32] <jrib> shape: ok
[11:33] <zamba> how do i launch the system settings from the cli?
[11:33] <zamba> the launcher idiot thingy has gone away and there's no way for me to get it back
[11:33] <go8765> 2hello. after upgrade my x-server dont work. can anybody help me with this please?
[11:33] <Daghdha> try using the ubuntu button at the top and type settings?
[11:33] <Daghdha> ^^ Zamba
[11:34] <zamba> what ubuntu button?
[11:34] <jrib> shape: don't know what you can do at this point
[11:34] <ThinkT510> zamba: unity --reset
[11:34] <shape> jrib, should I disable the boot flag in gparted for that partition?
[11:34] <zamba> ThinkT510: didn't work
[11:34] <jrib> shape: I don't think that will matter
[11:35] <zamba> oh yeah, it did.. it crashed the whole X sessiong
[11:35] <zamba> yay
[11:35] <Guest17411> temba his arms wide
[11:35] <shape> jrib, i dont understand how it got so screwed up since I just installed ubuntu :( I think I made a mistake and chose the MBR to be sda1 instead of sda
[11:35] <IdleOne> Guest17411: Star Trek references in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[11:35] <shape> jrib, and then fixed it with boot-repair
[11:35] <jrib> shape: maybe...
[11:35] <shape> jrib, but how can I fix that then?
[11:36] <jrib> shape: try testdisk but I do not have any experience with it
[11:36] <shape> jrib, I think I know how to do it. I will just uninstall ubuntu and repair the windows mbr, and then reinstall ubuntu
[11:37] <shape> jrib, repaid the mbr from the Live CD
[11:37] <shape> repair*
[11:37] <jrib> shape: why do you need to uninstall ubuntu?
[11:37] <blurp> .. just reinstall ubuntu and it will reinstall grub on the mbr.
[11:37] <blurp> it over-writes the windows mbr when you install grub.
[11:37] <blurp> or you can try to repair it if you think you're good enough.
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> good = skilled
[11:38] <blurp> ^
[11:38] <shape> okay I will see what I can do! Thanks
[11:38] <shape> I'll be back regardless!
[11:38] <blurp> good luch.
[11:38] <blurp> luck*
[11:39] <blurp> I just had the same problem trying to install vector linux.  It wouldn't install the bootloader correctly for some reason.  I tried putting it in sda1 and sda, and nothing.  I wound up with a windows system that had two ext4 parts on it, and couldn't boot into them.
[11:39] <blurp> I couldn't get the installer .iso's to work from usb, and the live version's graphical install was awkward with the mbr part.
[11:39] <afd> is it possible to remove keyrings so that they are no longer used and not affect data / file access etc?
[11:40] <blurp> I ended up switching to bodhi.
[11:40] <Mayazcherquoi> How can I kill all processes that match a given regex pattern?
[11:40] <blurp> afd, I think you just uninstall it with your package manager.
[11:41] <afd> blurp: really? it's not like the data / apps being accessed when keyrings are used is encrypted or something? you aren't deleting encryption keys...?
[11:41] <jrib> Mayazcherquoi: pkill
[11:41] <Stanley00> Mayazcherquoi: maybe pkill or kill `pgrep ...`
[11:41] <Daghdha> http://www.freeimagehosting.net/bys59  <-- That is what i ment, it used to livein the bottom right corner of my 10.10 desktop: I want this back if it's possible, is ok if it lives at the top from now on but would realy like it back.
[11:41] <Mayazcherquoi> jrib / Stanley00: Oh okay! Thank you guys! :)
[11:42] <go8765> can anybody help me please with x-server pb please? after upgrade it dont start.  how i can install older wersion of xorg?
[11:43] <savr> yay vpn working with dns
[11:43] <savr> damn slow to resolve dns
[11:43] <savr> 400-800ms to the vpn
[11:44] <blurp> afd, I think uninstalling the programs will get rid of their effecting any data.  They may leave a few undeleted text files behind somewhere that were saved, but I'd bet that removing something that stores info locally would remove the info it stored, too, in most cases.
[11:45] <Daghdha> i think it's called a widget, i need a workspace widget for the top toolbar
[11:45] <tarvid> Any reason Nautilus would not show files on an external drive that show up with ls?
[11:45] <blurp> tarvid.. loose usb?
[11:46] <tarvid> browes fine from the command line
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> tarvid: close nautilus, then reopen it
[11:47] <blurp> Odd. I'm a fan of the more basic file browsers.  I like thunar and File Manager.
[11:47] <tarvid> just restarted but will try
[11:47] <fidel_> tarvid: might depend on the configured view options of nautilus. i.e. show hidden files etc. Might that be a possible reason for your case?
[11:47] <blurp> Maybe reboot and try again.  My wireless derped out in the middle of a big synaptic pm download.  had to reboot.
[11:48] <tarvid> it shows nothing
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> what's 'derped'?
[11:49] <phibxr> MonkeyDust, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=herp%20derp
[11:49] <Daghdha> is there any AV for ubunty that's free? I am now scanning my entire ubunty shares from windows machine, it's a tad time consuming :/
[11:49] <jarco_> I heard adobe will not support Linux anymore with flash. The article said to use chrome as flash is build in in chrome. I just installed chrome on my fresh ubuntu install and II surfed to grooveshark. The site sais I have no flash installed. How can I enable the flash available in chrome?
[11:50] <thomas001> hi, is there a way to set default mount options for btrfs, which are then used by the ubuntu installer and system? there doesn't seem a way to set mount options directly in the installer :-/
[11:50] <phibxr> jarco_, did you install Chrome or Chromium? Chrome using the .DEB-file from google.com/chrome contains flash already.
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> !virus| Daghdha
[11:51] <jarco_> phibxr: I installed chrome with that deb. Still grooveshark gives the same error
[11:51] <fidel_> jarco_: is that problem grooveshark specific?
[11:51] <fidel_> so does flash works on other pages for you?
[11:51] <phibxr> jarco_, navigate to chrome://plugins/
[11:52] <phibxr> jarco_, can you see Flash there?
[11:52] <jarco_> seems not so fidel_
[11:52] <jarco_> phibxr: no flash there
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> jarco_: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'      use http://pastie.org to host
[11:53] <phibxr> jarco_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/129534/problem-flash-player-not-present-in-chrome-on-ubuntu-12-04
[11:54] <phibxr> jarco_, are you running 64-bit?
[11:54] <jarco_> phibxr: yes
[11:54] <phibxr> jarco_, then it's a bug in google chrome. full report here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=108381
[11:54] <polishguy94> Is there a way to refresh the instalation of linux
[11:54] <jarco_> ActionParsnip: i ll ssh in to it and paste it here :)
[11:54] <JohnnyricoMC_> polishguy94, what do you mean by a refresh?
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> jarco_: sweet
[11:55] <JohnnyricoMC_> polishguy94, like monkeydust suggested an update of all programs, or a cleanup operation?
[11:55] <polishguy94> i've been fighting with sound which suddenly disappeared for last few hours and I've fixed nothing. I'd like to have a fresh installation of core components leaving the user installed untouched
[11:55] <jarco_> phibxr: the plugin refered to in the article is a chrome plugin or the flash from adobe?
[11:56] <reynir> I have experienced the following twice: After some time X.org seems to ignore the keyboard entirely. I cannot switch to linux terminals, scroll lock light doesn't switch. I still can do ctrl+alt+sys-r subr. Is this a known issue?
[11:56] <blurp> polishguy94, if your home and root partitions are separate, you could just reinstall from scratch and keep your /home dir.
[11:56] <blurp> automatic reset.
[11:56] <polishguy94> blurp: how about installed programmes?
[11:56] <phibxr> jarco_, they bundle adobes plugin, but only in the 32-bit version.
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  aptoncd to backup/recover them
[11:57] <polishguy94> and my home and root partitions are not separate, shit
[11:57] <blurp> there are a few distros that will give you the option to keep or delete your programs/options, but I don't think ubuntu is one of them.
[11:57] <polishguy94> or maybe you can just help solving my sound issue
[11:57] <polishguy94> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a539cacc0eda3f3cbf3f6eb67c7bab16e706ecf5
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*  wait a few seconds, then try sound
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  in a Terminal, type alsamier, if you see MM (mute), go there and press m
[11:58] <MonkeyDust> alsamixer*
[11:58] <polishguy94> alsamixer - nothing is muted
[11:58] <polishguy94> i've tried reinstallation of pulseaudio
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: did my command work?
[11:58] <jarco_> phibxr: I thought they had their ownb version of it, one they updated themselves. I am trying to get that one.
[11:58] <JohnnyricoMC_> polishguy94,if you're gonna try a clean install, try dpkg --get-selections. That should give you a list of all packages. With some usage of cut or awk you can then get a nice little list you can feed to apt-get after a clean install.
[11:58] <polishguy94> I suppose yes
[11:59] <reynir> ^ to my earlier message: It seems gajim had a segfault in libgtk-[something] yesterday. It could be related. I suspect it only happens when I run gajim
[11:59] <phibxr> Is there any good reasoning behind Ubuntu making all home folders readable for all local users by default? Even Windows restricts access to others home folders on a clean installation.
[11:59] <blurp> I'm running ubuntu studio.. I installed 11.1 or 11.04 and upgradedto 12 the other day.  Now jack is being silly and the porting is different.
[12:00] <polishguy94> When I go to sound settings, select desired output and click on test button and test left or right channel there's no blue highlight of buttons which used to be there before my problems
[12:00] <blurp> I have alsa connections instead of system input and such.
[12:00] <reynir> phibxr: I think that's normal for unix systems
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: did you try my command at all?
[12:00] <polishguy94> also, when I play something, the pulseaudio console shows a bar of sound level which moves according to the loudness of sound I play but nothing is output to my headphones
[12:01] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: yest I did
[12:01] <SunTsu> phibxr: it's the first step I take after getting a new account: lock it down to the point I am comfortable with it
[12:01] <polishguy94> I've tried playing sounds via alsa alone and via pulseaudio
[12:01] <blurp> phibxr, your home folder is your virtual bedroom. Do you keep your bedroom locked all day?  There's usually no need.
[12:02] <blurp> polishguy94, you may have had a hardware recognition glitch.  Have you rebooted your os?
[12:02] <auronandace> polishguy94: i'm curious, can i see a screenshot of alsamixer?
[12:02] <polishguy94> blurp: after each change of settings
[12:02] <blurp> hrm
[12:02] <polishguy94> auronandace: no problem
[12:02] <rawiramdhan> s
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: did you try the alsa ppa?
[12:05] <JohnnyricoMC_> y
[12:05] <polishguy94> auronadace: http://imgur.com/6ItbX,y1BcV
[12:05] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: no
[12:06] <rekasi> hy
[12:06] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: but I have alsa force-reload
[12:06] <auronandace> polishguy94: thats it, just one bar?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: it's listed in the sound troubleshooting procedure doc, have you seen it?
[12:07] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: which one, there is a few?
[12:08]  * auronandace thinks ppas should only ever be a last resort
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> !sound
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[12:09] <auronandace> polishguy94: what options do you get from f6 in alsamixer?
[12:09] <abes> Question: I need to write a script that removes special characters recursivly from all filenames within given directory and its subdirectories - what's my best approach here? (I need it to do it as soon as the file is uploaded, so I am thinking to add a cronjob at every minute)
[12:10] <shape> jrib, Hey, so I reinstalled grub and everything and it still doesn't see the windows partition :(
[12:10] <shape> jrib, I guess I'll have to reinstall windows
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> shape  windows is still thee, grub just doesnt see it
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> there*
[12:11] <shape> MonkeyDust, but gparted sees the partition as "unkown" as well. Do you have any suggestions?
[12:11] <polishguy94> aurondace: -default (shows pulseaudio) 0 (ati radeon hdmi) 1 (ca0106 - my desired soundcard)
[12:11] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: his ntfs partition isn't recognised in gparted
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> ah
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> missed that part
[12:12] <auronandace> polishguy94: try changing to 1
[12:12] <shape> auronandace, thanks for reading my problems :)
[12:12] <auronandace> shape: no worries
[12:13] <sarthor> /etc/network/interfaces
[12:13] <shape> I think boot-repair messed it up, because I did nothing else. Oh and gparted does see it, but the file system is "unkown"
[12:13] <sarthor> I want to compile lsm for shorewall on ubnutu-sever 12.04, How to do that, I never compiled anything before.
[12:13] <polishguy94> auronandace: nothing
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> !compile
[12:13] <auronandace> polishguy94: how many bars are in that screen?
[12:14] <shape> auronandace, basically if gparted sees the file system as unkown I am screwed right?
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> sarthor  ubottu refers to iptables
[12:14] <polishguy94> auronandace: look at the second screenshot I've sent you
[12:15] <polishguy94> auronandace: http://i.imgur.com/y1BcV.jpg
[12:15] <auronandace> shape: essentially yes, as far as i know
[12:15] <braz> bom dia a todos!
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> !pt
[12:16] <shape> auronandace, Oh well, I'll get to install Windows, but if I install windows wouldn't that ruin grub? I'd have to repair grub again correct?
[12:16] <auronandace> shape: yes, windows will overwrite grub
[12:17] <shape> auronandace, is it hard to repair grub?
[12:17] <zap0> how do i set a higher monitor resolution, it currently only shows  1024x768  800x600     my monitor is 1920x1200
[12:17] <auronandace> polishguy94: hmm, well i'm perplexed
[12:17] <auronandace> shape: not really
[12:17] <shape> auronandace, nevermind I just found tons of wiki for that
[12:18] <polishguy94> auronandace: I've tried even this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: does the PPA help?
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> zap0: what video chip?
[12:20] <auronandace> polishguy94: hmm, i don't think you'd need that for 12.04 since alsa is already 1.0.25
[12:21] <polishguy94> auronandace: but It reinstalls alsa, plus I had .24 driver while the rest of alsa's components were 25
[12:21] <zap0> ActionParsnip, its running in virtualbox.      nvidia card.   8800GT i think.
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> zap0: if its a virtual stystem then it will use virtual hardware
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> zap0: did you install guest additions?
[12:23] <zap0> ActionParsnip, yes.
[12:23] <auronandace> polishguy94: i guess you're getting rather desperate (reading the big fat warning at the top of that thread), maybe try what ActionParsnip suggests
[12:23] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: PPA does not help
[12:24] <auronandace> polishguy94: personally i'd go for a reinstall
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> zap0: could use: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777759   just change the res to what you desire
[12:24] <polishguy94> auronandace: i am afraid that I might forget to back up something
[12:25] <polishguy94> AFK
[12:25] <auronandace> polishguy94: i keep all i need on a seperate storage partition and back it up to an external drive, fresh installs are breeze that way

[12:33] <zamba> and how can i rebind alt+f2?
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> zamba: gnome-control-center
[12:33] <near> Any help to automate this process
[12:33] <near> ?
[12:33] <auronandace> !fstab | near
[12:33] <zamba> ActionParsnip: already there.. under keyboard..
[12:34] <zamba> ActionParsnip: but i see alt+f2 nowhere there
[12:34] <chiliblue> anyone familar with ddrescue?
[12:34] <Gosset_Inofensiu> anyone uses Gnome-classic? The cursor at the top of the screen gets out of it
[12:34] <near> thanks I will have a look to the link below
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  I do, but what do you mean 'gets out of it'?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> zamba: use the cog icon in the top right
[12:36] <Gosset_Inofensiu> MonkeyDust, the cursor at the top of the screen gets out of context
[12:36] <zamba> ActionParsnip: and system settings?
[12:36] <Gosset_Inofensiu> if you move the cursor to the top of the screen and click, you get nothing
[12:36] <Gosset_Inofensiu> about maximize close windows i mean
[12:36] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  click on what exactly?
[12:36] <zamba> ActionParsnip: i'm already there.. and then under keyboard.. the problem is that i don't see alt+f2 there
[12:36] <Gosset_Inofensiu> on the bar of the windows
[12:37] <Gosset_Inofensiu> I've tested this on different machines
[12:37] <zamba> god damn i hate this
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> zamba: search in dash for settings
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  doenst ring a bell, i placed the buttons are to the left, works fine here
[12:37] <zamba> alt+f2 is a global keyboard shortcut that's not possible to change
[12:37] <PATIL1234567> Hi, i need application to send/recv data between two zigbee usb devices on ubuntu, if anybdy is having please share
[12:37] <zamba> ActionParsnip: i'm already there
[12:38] <zamba> ActionParsnip: i have system settings, but as i've said several times now, it's not possible to rebind alt+f2 there
[12:38] <zamba> same goes with alt+f1, that brings out the stupid sidebar
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> zamba: are you using desktop effects?
[12:38] <zamba> ActionParsnip: dunno what i'm using, because it's impossible to see any settings
[12:39] <zamba> ActionParsnip: where can i check that?
[12:39] <zamba> the appearance thingy in system settings only has "look" and "behavior"
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> zamba: when you press ALT+TAB do you get a small icon set in the middle or a full and pretty animation?
[12:39] <DanielConvissor> morning.  figured out how to enable automatic reboot for unattended upgrades.  but when the reboot happens, it's immediate.  is there a way to make the reboot wait x minutes?
[12:39] <zamba> ActionParsnip: small icon set
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> zamba: ok thats not effects, you are using Unity2D :)
[12:40] <PATIL1234567> Hi, anybody having application to send/recv data between two zigbee usb devices on ubuntu
[12:40] <zamba> this is just not intuitive no more, i can't believe canonical has gone this way
[12:40] <Gosset_Inofensiu> but MonkeyDust , when you got a window maximized, and you move the cursor at the top of the screen to double-click in order demaximize, what do you get? you must move the cursor a little bit down of the top of the screen
[12:40] <zamba> ActionParsnip: so what do i do?
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> PATIL1234567: what is zigbee?
[12:40] <zamba> ActionParsnip: if i try starting unity 3d i get no system tray
[12:40] <zamba> ActionParsnip: just a blank screen
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> zamba: in ccsm you may be able to set the gnome compatibility there
[12:41] <zamba> where do i start ccsm from?
[12:41] <zamba> especially if i refuses to start
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> zamba: alt+f2
[12:41] <dandre> Hello,
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  i have 'no effects'
[12:42] <zamba> i just started unity (not unity 2d)
[12:42] <zamba> and i get a totally blank screen
[12:42] <zamba> no launcher, no tray, no nothing
[12:42] <chiliblue> what does alt+f2 do, it seemed to bring out the menu bar and then lock me out, i.e. I couldn't type in xchat
[12:42] <zamba> luckily i have bound ctrl+alt+t to opening a new terminal, so i'm at least able to do that
[12:42] <Gosset_Inofensiu> anyway MonkeyDust , i'll report as abug
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> zamba: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/580295
[12:43] <sunit> How can I add new user in subversion ?
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  sounds like compiz to me, i don't use that
[12:43] <dandre> I have a working system on ubuntu 11.10, 32 bits. I would like to upgrade to 12.04/64 bits but keep my working system for backup in case of issue in migrating process. What do you recommand?
[12:43] <fidel_> sunit: consider asking in #svn
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> dandre  fresh install
 its wireless network for home appliances
[12:44] <zamba> ActionParsnip: well.. i have a bigger problem now, as unity gives me no widgets or anything
[12:44] <sunit> fidel_: ok
[12:44] <ThinkT510> dandre: you can't upgrade from 32 to 64bit, you need to fresh install
[12:44] <zamba> ActionParsnip: what do i do about taht?
[12:44] <zamba> that*
[12:45] <zamba> switching between workspaces with alt+f1, f2, f3 and f4 works now, though
[12:45] <dandre> ok probably I need to dpkg --get-selections and then selection
[12:45] <dandre> or is there another way?
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> dandre  or aptoncd to backup/recover
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> dandre  aptoncd creates an iso
[12:46] <zamba> ActionParsnip: is the problem that i'm launching gnome-shell istead of unity?
[12:48] <dandre> will it deal with 32 to 64 bit migration?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> zamba: not sure there dude
[12:48] <ikonia> dandre: no
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> dandre: you'll need to reinstall to change arch
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> dandre  no problem, i did it myself
[12:49] <shape> can someone please tell me what is the reverse of this command (i.e. undoing what the command does) "sudo dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda"
[12:49] <faraway> hi. i have a question to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 form cd. first of all, i have made backups of all data. then i started form cd to do an installation and did "upgrade form 11.10 to 12.04"
[12:49] <faraway>  then i was asked "how you are?" and i thought ok, i don't wan to create a new user so i stopped the upgrade process which was a bad idea :D is the only way now to do a complete reinstallation. or can i get back to 11.10 ? i only went to the step "How you are?"
[12:49] <auronandace> shape: you can't undo that
[12:49] <MonkeyDust> dandre  fresh install *is* required, tho, if you want to go from 32 to 64bit
[12:50] <krababbel> If I move / to another hdd, can I just point grub to that uuid, or do grub and / need to be on the same drive?
[12:50] <auronandace> shape: it overwrites the mbr
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> faraway: could go to liveCD environment, chroot and fix things there
[12:50] <dandre> ok
[12:51] <shape> auronandace, yes but what if I put sda2 let's say, it copied the mbr to sda2 correct? how do I remove the mbr from sda2
[12:51] <faraway> ActionParsnip: is there somewhere a tutorial for this ?
[12:51] <_numbers> since i upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 ubuntu server 64-bit, my ~/.bashrc stopped executing
[12:51] <shape> auronandace, even though there was no mbr on sda2
[12:51] <auronandace> shape: mbr is always at the beginning of the disk, you can put a bootloader at sda2 but not an mbr
[12:52] <_numbers> so i dont have bash completion or aliases
[12:52] <llutz> _numbers: "echo $SHELL" says what after login?
[12:52] <_numbers>  /bin/bash
[12:52] <shape> auronandace, so basically nothing happened then on sda2 correct? the mbr is still on sda
[12:53] <auronandace> shape: mbr is always on sda
[12:54] <fayaz> hi, what's the /tmp/python.cache_ubuntu for? it's taken up all of my inodes
[12:54] <auronandace> shape: if you ran that command with sda2 instead then you've likely overwritten something on sda2
[12:54] <shape> auronandace, I see
[12:54] <auronandace> shape: which may break the partition
[12:55] <polishguy94> Guess what!
[12:55] <polishguy94> I've fixed my audio
[12:55] <shape> auronandace, is there a way to unbreak it?
[12:55] <alankila> fayaz: it's the python circle of friends
[12:55] <alankila> fayaz: more seriously, sounds like a bug. No idea, sorry.
[12:55] <auronandace> shape: no, dd is a direct copy
[12:55] <fayaz> alankila: okay, i'll ask over there
[12:55] <auronandace> !yay | polishguy94
[12:55] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  share your solution with the channel, in one line, for future reference
[12:55] <L3top> ^
[12:56] <alankila> fayaz: I don't have such a thing here at all.
[12:56] <simonsays1980>  My compiler has a problem creating TestFiles during build....this is since the last automatic ubuntu updates. Now I have a permission problem.
[12:56] <auronandace> shape: you'd need to reinstall/reformat (whatever that partition was for)
[12:56] <shape> auronandace, Thanks for the info! I really have to reinstall windows in that case. May I ask how can I become more knowledgeable, just read "man"? Linux books?
[12:56] <krababbel> Can GRUB be on one drive MBR, and boot Ubuntu from another?
[12:57] <shape> I'd really want to get going because my ignorance is causing me headaches
[12:57] <polishguy94> Uninstall pulseaudio, run ALSA Upgrade Script Redux, set default device in /etc/asound.conf
[12:57] <shape> krababbel, yes
[12:57] <auronandace> shape: practise makes perfect, try messing around with vms if you need a safe practise ground
[12:58] <simonsays1980> Has anyone a clue after reading this short error message what to do with the permissions? http://pastebin.com/4QTm8gZG
[12:58] <shape> auronandace, vsm = virtual machine? like vmware and virtualbox?
[12:58] <polishguy94> I would also like to thank you for support, people.
[12:58] <auronandace> shape: yes, i use virtualbox
[12:58] <mewtier> Guten Tag
[12:58] <MonkeyDust> !de
[12:58] <mewtier> Hello motherfuckers
[12:58] <_numbers> its weird because if i ssh in and then type `bash` it loads my ~/.bashrc fine
[12:59] <_numbers> /etc/password is configured to execute /bin/bash
[12:59] <krababbel> shape: thanks
[12:59] <_numbers> /etc/paswd
[13:00] <pfote> Hi. installed a (k)ubuntu yesterday on a amd64 machine with a existing win7 on a seperate hd, guided installation. worked flawlessly with one exception, the grub did detect win, created a entry for it, but it doesn't work, it creates a error like "efi - file not found". tried to read up on EFI/UEFI but got confused, any advice on what to read to get that solved? i have no clue about these new booting concepts :-/
[13:00] <krababbel> shape: you erased windows mbr?
[13:00] <krababbel> shape: you can restore that
[13:00] <serard> Hello
[13:01] <shape> krababbel, I know, but what I did was somehow break my partition.
[13:01] <serard> Is there any way to have a /etc/hosts file writable by user ? Something like ~/.hosts ?
[13:01] <shape> krababbel, gparted sees the windows partition as "unkown file system"
[13:01] <tidux> how do I get `keychain` to stop using GNOME keyring?
[13:01] <tidux> I've tried just shutting off the gnome-keyring-daemon process with pkill
[13:02] <krababbel> shape: oh, I thought you only did it to sda, not sda2
[13:02] <tidux> but then keychain fails entirely, unlike on systems with no GNOME keyring
[13:03] <gaelfx> serard: don't think so, the whole point of it being root-owned is so that users can't screw it up
[13:03] <shape> krababbel, The command I posted above is the simplest way to restore the MBR from the Live CD, as Ive done it before. What happened to me was that I seleted the bootloader on a different drive, and when I used that command I typed sda1 instead of sda which made my Windows Partition "unkown file system"
[13:03] <krababbel> shape: OK, I see
[13:04] <serard> Yes but I want my devs to be able to screw it as they want when they create .local websites
[13:04] <serard> Where is this /etc/hosts being used & or configured ?
[13:04] <near> can someone can have a look on these comands? UUID=286c6677-6c86-4ecc-a4c8-e1cde54d2f6c  /saves  vfat auto rw,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8  0  0
[13:04] <near> /dev/sda1 /media/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 .my target is to automate the mount process
[13:04] <shape> krababbel, gparted doesn't see it, boot-repair can't do anything (tried it 3 times), and ubuntu doesn't see the partition as NTFS. So i'm screwed.
[13:04] <gaelfx> !pb | near
[13:05] <chiliblue> ok how do you enable unity 3d, my gfx spport it
[13:05] <shape> krababbel, all because I installed the bootloader on sda1 and tried to restore the mbr on sda1.
[13:05] <gaelfx> chiliblue: when you login, make sure Ubuntu session is selected
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> chiliblue  you can select it in lightdm
[13:06] <krababbel> shape: sda1 is a partition of course, sda holds the mbr. The windows loader is on sda1 for instance I think.
[13:06] <shape> krababbel, which is the windows partition, instead of putting it on dev/sda. Careless mistake.
[13:06] <near> http://paste.ubuntu.com/964611/
[13:06] <pfote> nobody a idea?
[13:06] <DanielConvissor> serard: hosts is used by os networking layer.  one possible way to do _something_ along the lines you want for web devs is to use mod_rewrite
[13:06] <shape> krababbel, yes. I didn't pay attention because of fatigue.
[13:06] <DanielConvissor> serard: (in apache)
[13:06] <tidux> never mind, I figured out the --nogui switch to "keychain" and killed a running process
[13:06] <tidux> all fixed
[13:06] <chiliblue> I have unity 2d running isn't there an option to switch it on  by default
[13:06] <shape> krababbel, which cost me a fresh install
[13:07] <llutz> near:  ... auto,rw,users....    no space after "auto"
[13:07] <near> ok ,
[13:07] <DanielConvissor> serard: you'd have to think of a scheme for mapping uri's to the paths you desire
[13:07] <krababbel> shape: sucks, I deleted a lot of my sister's stuff messing and not paying attention.
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> chiliblue  choose Unity 3D in the login menu, it will be selected automatically after that
[13:08] <sandGorgon> how do I configure my VPN route to let everything go through it EXCEPT 10.*.*.* addresses ? basically instead of allowing an ip address, I want to prevent a specific range
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> sandGorgon  iptables
[13:08] <jack_> BAM DONE
[13:08] <jack_> NEXT QUESTION
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> caps
[13:08] <serard> DanielConvissor: thanks for the hint, can you tell me more ? Can't see the point using mod_rewrite :o. I have /var/www/sites/my_site1 and in /etc/hosts I add the 127.0.0.1 my_site1.local + the vhost. I want vhosts to separate the debug thing when using localhost/phpmyadin & other localhost/ things. I dont want all .local sites behind localhost/ (locahost/my_site1 for example <= I dont want that)
[13:08] <FloodBot1> jack_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:09] <SunTsu> sandGorgon: iptables/netfilter - or route it to 127.0.0.1
[13:09] <jack_> Is there another way of displaying sarcasm?
[13:09] <jack_> _maybe i'll start doing this_
[13:09] <chiliblue> ok MonkeyDust hoping to pass the time play with it while a couple of things ran in terminals... oh well, not sure why I haven't got it by default, machine is up to the job
[13:09] <serard> DanielConvissor:  I understand that I need to create a scheme but can't see how create a way with mod_rewrite oO
[13:09] <serard> :)
[13:09] <llutz> near: and btw, those are lines from /etc/fstab, not commands
[13:09] <shape> auronandace, last time I used vmware I remember it didn't save settings. Does virtual box save settings/personal settings for the distro?
[13:10] <auronandace> shape: yes, if you install the distro
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> chiliblue  with byobu/screen, you can log in and out without interrupting whatever is running in terminal
[13:10] <L3top> virtualbox is just a virtual machine. Whatever is running in the virtual environment should behave just as it would on hardware shape.
[13:10] <auronandace> shape: sound like you just loaded the livecd in it
[13:11] <projektlabor> hello does anybody know a programm which likes adobe after affects
[13:11] <sandGorgon> SunTsu, any way of configuring this using the graphical UI of network manager ?
[13:11] <near> so I need to write both in one lines ?
[13:11] <shape> auronandace, Oh I see, you can actually install it. Cool
[13:11] <near> http://paste.ubuntu.com/964624/
[13:12] <projektlabor> hello they know if there is one program that is similar to adobe after effects
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> !equivalents| projektlabor
[13:14] <llutz> near:  "d:\saves" is what you want to mount somewhere?
[13:14] <llutz> near: and 286c6677-6c86-4ecc-a4c8-e1cde54d2f6c is the UUID of the filesystem holding windows drive d: ?
[13:14] <near> I want to mount it on linux
[13:14] <SunTsu> sandGorgon: NetworkManager Config has "routes" tab
[13:15] <near> no is Linux vortualbox drive
[13:15] <near> virtualbox* sorry
[13:15] <DanielConvissor> serard: yes, simplest way is for admin to set up /etc/hosts for the devs in advance.  but if you want devs to be able to do stuff on the fly, rewrite rules can be used to do interesting stuff.  see RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} in http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
[13:16] <near> In virtualbox I can't see windows partitions , I don't why so I mount one of the partition when I boot it to use my files
[13:16] <llutz> near: you mount filesystems, not directories. so mount your "UUID=286c6677-6c86-4ecc-a4c8-e1cde54d2f6c /media/winD vfat auto,rw,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8  0  0" and then "/media/winD/saves /media/saves none bind 0 0" if you want to access this directory directly
[13:17] <w3bg33k> is there a way to mount a UNC path to a windows server?  ie.  I'd like to mount /mymount to \\server\folder\
[13:17] <shaneo> hey guys is there a way to see what files are taking up the most room on my hdd i seems to have alot of space used and nothing using it..that i know of
[13:17] <nachtwolf> Hello
[13:18] <MonkeyDust> shaneo  du -h
[13:18] <shaneo> w3bg33k, check out smestorage
[13:18] <L3top> !info gdmap | shaneo
[13:18] <serard> Ok I should trick the http host in the http request but to do so needs specific plugins in firefox I guess
[13:19] <shaneo> lol tahbk you L3
[13:19] <shaneo> lol tahbk you L3top du -h went on forever
[13:19] <serard> DanielConvissor: Hmm well I dont really understand where to go from this :(
[13:19] <near> llutz : for the second process is it correct ? : "/dev/sda1 /media/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync"
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> shaneo  find / -size +1G -exec ln -s {} ~ \; -- replace 1G by whatever you want
[13:20] <llutz> near: i wouldn't use floppy for a non-floppy as mountpoint but its up to you. syntax is ok
[13:20] <L3top> shaneo: from cli you could find / -size +50000k             to find files larger than 50Mb for intsance
[13:21] <TonciJukic> Hi there. Is there anyone ho could help with 12.04 installation: latest release (27th april) just hangs on starting as live and installation. Mouse is crawling and icons are unclickable for 10-20 minutes. After that mouse is fine, but desktop is unusable including dialogs.
[13:21] <L3top> or MonkeyDusts answer was more complete
[13:21] <shaneo> MonkeyDust, the thing is i dont know if its all large files or a compilation of packages that buikd up space
[13:21] <loganrun> pgrade to 10.04 LTS option,
[13:21] <loganrun> has anyone tried the upgrade to LTS option
[13:21] <TonciJukic> Machine is: ASUS Rampage MBO, Intel i7-975 and nVidia GTX 580
[13:22] <shaneo> is .local/share/trash a trash bin ??
[13:22] <loganrun> don't want to thrash my machine
[13:22] <shaneo> cause thats the folder eating all my space
[13:22] <loganrun> I tried a distribution upgrade once for fedora, and that didn't work very well
[13:22] <llutz> MonkeyDust: why the heck would one create symlinks to all files found?
[13:23] <L3top> shaneo: sudo apt-get autoclean   will also remove all package files you do not have installed in /var/cache/apt/archives, and sudo apt-get clean will remove all source packages (as they are installed this will not affect the operation of the programs which came from them)
[13:23] <PATIL1234567> Hi, anybody used ZigBee USB devices on ubuntu

[13:26] <TonciJukic> Hi there. Is there anyone who could help with 12.04 installation? Latest release (27th April) just hangs on starting as live or right-away installation. Mouse is crawling and icons are unclickable for 15-20 minutes. After that time mouse is fine, but desktop is unusable including dialogs and icons - can't use or install the system. Machine is: ASUS Rampage MBO, Intel i7-975 and nVidia GTX...
[13:26] <TonciJukic> ...580 including SSD or HDD, same problems.
[13:27] <misterbeen> hello everyone I am downloading 12.04 and can't seem to find a tutorial how to install os from usb stick,can someone link it to me?
[13:28] <MonkeyDust> misterbeen  boot from the usb stick and follow the instructions - what goes wrong?
[13:28] <amaroks> misterbeen:  on the same page you download ubuntu from has all the instructions you may need

[13:29] <MonkeyDust> PATIL1234567  what's zigbee?
[13:29] <Noxville> Its a wireless protocol
[13:29] <fidel_> PATIL1234567: i dont know those devices - but as long as they are mounted as everything else - consider using any sync-able sw you might know

[13:31] <Imre_> Hy everyone!
[13:32] <Imre_> I have a question about Wine. Is there a way to tell Wine, to install Windows programs to a different directory?

[13:32] <sledges> hello

[13:33] <Imre_> I have an SSD and want to install Kubuntu on it, but I also have a 320GB HDD. I would like to tell Wine to install all the apps there. Could that work?
[13:33] <TonciJukic> Seems that i7 and nVidia are not usable for Ubuntu 12.04 - even install fails: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128772/ubuntu-12-04-x64-installer-freezes-hangs

[13:34] <ericus> okay, sorry ikonia
[13:35] <ikonia> ericus: not a problem

[13:36] <jatt> is there a way to have execution permissions set automatically for .sh files?
[13:36] <gaelfx> Imre_: it's quite simple, just partition the SSD as / and the HDD as /home
[13:36] <gaelfx> Imre_: sorry for saying it like that, what I mean is that it's a very common way to partition drives such as that
[13:36] <gaelfx> Imre_: it might also be a good idea to make a partition on the HDD for /tmp as well, to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the SSD

[13:38] <phzbox_> Hello! Is there a way to install python2.7 with apt-get? Seems like there's only 2.6 and 3
[13:39] <L3top> TonciJukic: I would also look through the bios and disable anything not required, like cool n quiet... etc
[13:39] <TonciJukic> I've tried resetting BIOS to defaults and turning OFF all onboard devices.
[13:40] <fidel_> TonciJukic: have you played with boot-paramters?
[13:40] <fidel_> i.e. i wasnt able to install 11.10 on my dell until i started playing with acpi=
[13:40] <r4y> sledges which do you mean?
[13:40] <TonciJukic> No @fidel, which you suggest? I presume it has something to do either with USB hub drivers or gfx drivers.
[13:40] <fidel_> in case of my dell mobile: acpi=noirq was a saver
[13:41] <auronandace> phzbox_: i take it you are using 10.04
[13:41] <sledges> r4y, you need to identify your root partition (guy from link has it as his sda7 "Using sda7 in my examples since that is the root partition of my Ubuntu installation." but yours will be different)
[13:41] <fidel_> maybe worth a test - while i am not into that toic myself that deeply
[13:41] <phzbox_> auronandace: right
[13:41] <sledges> so if it is not extended, and not swap, you can infer that it is the "Linux" partition as nothing else remains, r4y
[13:41] <gaelfx> !info python | phzbox_
[13:41] <auronandace> phzbox_: 2.7 isn't available in the 10.04 repos
[13:42] <phzbox_> so should I upgrade ubuntu to a newer version?
[13:42] <auronandace> phzbox_: if you need 2.7 yes, or you could install it manually (not supported or recommended)
[13:42] <r4y> so are you saying "/dev/sda1"?, How do I know? I am sorry about this, TY for trying to help me.
[13:43] <L3top> phzbox_: If I were you, I would wait until there is a point release.
[13:43] <phzbox_> Ok. It's on a vps.. I guess I should have 11.0
[13:43] <sledges> r4y, yes, just trying to teach you, not just tell you :)
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> r4y  type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit -- paste the url here, so the channel can see
[13:43] <gaelfx> phzbox_: that might be overkill, why not download it yourself and install it that way?
[13:43] <teabrick> is there a way to upgrade to the newest ubuntu without using unity ?
[13:44] <jrib> !nounity | teabrick
[13:44] <phzbox_> gaelfx: well, there's nothing yet on the vps
[13:44] <fidel_> teabrick: unity is just a desktop-env
[13:44] <Guest68191> hello, everybody
[13:44] <phzbox_> should I just apt-get upgrade or reinstall 11.0 from scratch is better?
[13:44] <teabrick> jeez I feel like I upset ubottu
[13:44] <fidel_> so you'll get it while upgrading - but you arent forced to use it for sure.
[13:44] <chiliblue> how is upgrading working out for people? thinking about it but have always fresh installed in the past. NOt much of a risk taker
[13:44] <zamba> native sip client that actually works in ubuntu?
[13:44] <zamba> suggestions?
[13:45] <fidel_> teabrick: its a bot ;)
[13:45] <zamba> i'm tired of something that doesn't integrate properly
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> teabrick  ubottu is a (ro)bot, a script, she cannot be upset
[13:45] <r4y> How do enable universe?
[13:45] <teabrick> oh okay
[13:45] <L3top> asterisk zamba.
[13:45] <zamba> L3top: that's not a sip client
[13:45] <phzbox_> bha, I'll just reinstall it, it'll take 10mins
[13:45] <Pici> zamba: ekiga?
[13:45] <phzbox_> thanks!
[13:45] <teabrick> can anyone tell me why I shouldn't use debian compared to ubuntu ?
[13:45] <zamba> that's a telephony client with sip channel support
[13:45] <fidel_> chiliblue: do a backup - and most likely you will end up without big problems
[13:45] <zamba> Pici: is that native/integrated?
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> teabrick  not here, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:46] <chiliblue> fidel my /home is aways on its own partition in anycase
[13:46] <Pici> zamba: It used to be the default sip client, before empathy came along.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga for more info.
[13:46] <zamba> so empathy can do sip?
[13:47] <fidel_> chiliblue: i dont care about your setup to be honest - this question is just re-occuring all 10 minutes and the answer is as always: we cant garanty that the update will work your your or any other special case without issues ;)
[13:47] <Pici> zamba: supposedly.  I have other issues with the way Empathy does things, so I'm not really the right person to ask.
[13:47] <r4y> does it mean root with the star "/dev/sda1   *"
[13:47] <fidel_> but it seems it works pretty ok for most users ;)
[13:47] <polishguy94> My 12.04 stucks on login screen after I enter password and confirm it, there's a "logging in" caption which lasts forever
[13:47] <gaelfx> phzbox_: vps?
[13:47] <gaelfx> teabrick: ubottu is a bot, thus incapable of emotions such as "upset"
[13:47] <gaelfx> zamba: what have you tried?
[13:47] <gaelfx> teabrick: that's not what this channel is for, sorry
[13:48] <chiliblue> fidel_, ok, didn't mean to ask an worn out question
[13:48] <sledges> r4y, your root partition is identified as a file node under /dev, so it's full path and name is "/dev/sda1"
[13:48] <polishguy94> I can hit Esc and It interrupts logging in but then i cannot enter a password, login screen is useless
[13:49] <sledges> r4y, start denotes an active partition. which 9 out of 10 cases is, but sometimes may not be your root partition
[13:49] <r4y> I know that. What I ment was from the pastebin I posted earlier. It has a star next to "/dev/sda1   *" and not the others
[13:49] <sledges> r4y, just answered, and made a typo: not "start" but "star" ;)
[13:50] <jhelbling> äh kann jemand deutsch?
[13:50] <r4y> I should say I have 1 hard drive connect which I think is an ext4 I believe
[13:50] <Pici> !de | jhelbling
[13:50] <gaelfx> polishguy94: well, clearly the world hasn't ended, so it's not "forever" ;) have you tried logging in through terminal? (ctl+alt+f2)
[13:50] <testi> Every time there's a new release of Ubuntu, Compiz appears slower to me on nvidia hardware. It now even uses 40% of the CPU when moving windows, when it should not even use 1%, because the CPU side is entirely trivial for this task.
[13:50] <gaelfx> that's weird, I don't think I've ever had lag before using irssi? is it just me?
[13:50] <jhelbling> ok
[13:50] <r4y> IC
[13:50] <sledges> r4y, that's irrelevant now
[13:50] <zamba> looks like it's working
[13:50] <gaelfx> testi: are you using nvidia drivers?
[13:50] <testi> gaelfx, yes
[13:51] <dholbach> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek is happening right now in #ubuntu-classroom
[13:51] <polishguy94> :gaelfx: nope
[13:51] <polishguy94> i'll give it a shot
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  i use irssi and sometimes *do* have lag, seconds, not minutes
[13:52] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: I was getting lag 120, now it's more reasonable
[13:52] <zamba> too bad it sucks
[13:52] <r4y> I am waiting to enable universe through software sources so I can install pastebinit
[13:52] <cypher-neo> Just a quick question. What is the Terminal command that you can type to report problems to Launchpad?
[13:52] <fidel_> cypher-neo: ubuntu-bug
[13:52] <fidel_> might be part of the apport package
[13:52] <cypher-neo> fidel_, Thanks. :)
[13:53] <testi> gaelfx, it seems a bit weird. I almost have the impression that compiz uses nvidias hardware accelaration so badly that the CPU becomes the better GPU than the GPU. (Because Unity2D is working flawlessly fast)
[13:54] <misterbeen> um I have 4 GB usb disk,and on step 4 "set persistent file size for storing changes "how much should should I choose ?
[13:55] <sledges> r4y, what do you mean by waiting?
[13:55] <cypher-neo> fidel_, Is there an easy way to figure out the PID number of a program?
[13:56] <r4y> I am now installing pastebinit
[13:56] <fidel_> cypher-neo: ps?
[13:56] <alankila> cypher-neo: pidof name?
[13:56] <cypher-neo> fidel_, In my case, I'm trying to report a bug with Appearance preferences, but I can't figure out it's PID.
[13:57] <SmasherX> Trying to recover from power out in upgrade from OO to PP can't attach other hdd's and Disk Utility comes up with no disks
[13:57] <gaelfx> testi: check this out, second reply down: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67680/why-does-compiz-use-25-cpu-while-idle
[13:57] <gaelfx> misterbeen: I usually set it to none, since it takes forever if you ask it to make the USB persistent, but it depends on how you plan to use the USB
[13:57] <r4y> I need to leave my computer for a little, I will be back in minutes
[13:57] <polishguy94> There's something wrong with LightDM
[13:57] <gaelfx> r4y: that's probably the smartest thing you'll do today ;)
[13:57] <gaelfx> r4y: about pastebinit, not leaving :P
[13:58] <polishguy94> i used terminal login then gdm'ed and here I am, using linux
[13:58] <r4y> lol
[13:58] <misterbeen> ok thanx gaelfx
[13:58] <gaelfx> polishguy94: congrats :D
[13:58] <sledges> good
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  whatever works :)
[13:58] <fidel_> cypher-neo: i know there is a tool which enables you to click a window and it will tell you all relevant details - but i dont remember the name :/
[13:59] <polishguy94> Are there other reasonable DMs?
[13:59] <gaelfx> polishguy94: a lot of people like xubuntu-desktop
[13:59] <fidel_> cypher-neo: but ubuntu-bug should NOT only work with pid - but also with package-name
[14:00] <fidel_> if that helps
[14:00] <polishguy94> gaelfx: Doesn't this one force me to use xfce?
[14:00] <auronandace> polishguy94: xfce is awesome
[14:01] <Mayazcherquoi> Oh yeah, guys, how can I stop Ubuntu from disconnecting my second VGA monitor when I close my laptop lid? :S
[14:01] <fidel_> cypher-neo: it might be xprop to get window-details - not really sure
[14:01] <gaelfx> polishguy94: it doesn't force you to use it, it allows you to use it. I thought you were asking about different DM's? (Desktop Managers)
[14:01] <Beelsebob> hey, where is the boot menu.lst file stored in 12.04?
[14:01] <alankila> Beelsebob: no such thing, grub2 now
[14:01] <polishguy94> gaelfx, I wrongly assumed there's a dependency
[14:01] <fidel_> Mayazcherquoi: configure the clamshell close energy -setting i guess
[14:02] <Beelsebob> alankila: how do I go about getting it to automatically boot to option 0 with grub2?
[14:02] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: Err, how? :S lol
[14:02] <auronandace> Beelsebob: menu.list is grub1, grub2 uses grub.cfg and config files in /etc/grub.d/
[14:02] <alankila> Beelsebob: no idea. /etc/default/grub might have something
[14:02] <gaelfx> polishguy94: you can have ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop installed on the same install without issues, just select which one you want when you login
[14:02] <alankila> you aren't supposed to edit the boot config file yourself anyway because it's generated from bunch of scripts
[14:02] <fidel_> Mayazcherquoi: guessing here -> system-settings -> energy
[14:02] <mcb_> Beelsebob: 12.04 use Grub2, and the is not a menu.lst in grub2. Look in /etc/default/grub.
[14:02] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: Oh, yeah, there's no such setting :(
[14:03] <fidel_> i assume your laptop is going to sleep if you close it -> sleep affects your 2nd screen aswell
[14:03] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: No, it isn't.
[14:03] <SultansElephant> hey, so the ubuntu live cd can't find my windows installation -- will i be do ok doing it manually?
[14:03] <fidel_> Mayazcherquoi: it isnt what?
[14:03] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: It doesn't go to sleep.
[14:03] <Mayazcherquoi> I've already checked all that :P
[14:03] <Oasa> any 1 here
[14:04] <Oasa> knows about configuring banshee's clutterflow plugin ?
[14:04] <fidel_> Mayazcherquoi: so tell us such things as part of your problem description ;)
[14:04] <fidel_> saves times on all sides
[14:04] <Lipu> Oasa: How can I help you/?
[14:04] <testi> gaelfx, okay thanks. So I'll just wait for the patch, even when it says it only halfs CPU usage. In my opinion it should reduce it to more or less nothing.
[14:04] <gaelfx> SultansElephant: do what manually?
[14:05] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: I don't know what else I can say? :S Ubuntu Linux simply disconnects the second monitor (connected via VGA) when I close my laptop lid. No, it does not suspend, it is set to "do nothing".
[14:05] <gaelfx> testi: no problem, sorry it wasn't more helpful
[14:05] <Oasa> Lipu: I am trying to get the clutterflow plugin working but i cant. I understand it require mant prequisites. I installed all except 2. Clutter and Clutter-sharp.
[14:05] <gaelfx> more immediately helpful anyhow
[14:05] <SultansElephant> gaelfx: im such a noob that usually to dual boot ubuntu i will use the live cd from a fresh install of windows and just choose side by side
[14:05] <Oasa> i am having trouble compiling them
[14:05] <SultansElephant> but its not an option ya
[14:06] <gaelfx> SultansElephant: well, if you do it manually, then you can make a separate partition for /home, which I think is very convenient
[14:06] <nishttal2> has anyone been able to install adobe air on 64bit 12.04?

[14:08] <auronandace> !eol | amel
[14:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Ahh wells, guess I'll have to try again tomorrow :-)

[14:08] <amel> it says authentication problem with network or server
[14:08] <veebull> anybody else having problems with windows randomly moving partways between desktops in 12.04?
[14:09] <Beelsebob> mcb_: interestingly, setting GRUB_TIMEOUT=2 still seems to display the menu permanently… am I hitting a bug here, or PEBKAC?
[14:09] <Oasa> amel thats what. It has reached the end of service. Check the second link that ubottu provided
[14:09] <Oasa> !eol | amel
[14:09] <veebull> had a few problems in 11.10, but its getting really annoying in 12.04
[14:09] <alankila> Oasa: did you regenerate the grub.cfg after modifications
[14:09] <Oasa> alankila: What is that?
[14:10] <alankila> Oasa: run update-grub after you change /etc/default/grub.
[14:10] <Oasa> I think I compiled clutter. But cant get clutter sharp
[14:10] <alankila> Oasa: actually I did not meant that to you. Sorry, confused something in my head.
[14:10] <alankila> > Beelsebob ;-)
[14:10] <Oasa> np
[14:10] <mcb_> Beelsebob:  Also look at  these options: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and
[14:10] <mcb_> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[14:10] <Beelsebob> alankila: already run
[14:11] <alankila> Beelsebob: okay. Hmm.
[14:11] <Beelsebob> mcb_: isn't that meant to be how long it takes before showing the menu?
[14:11] <roland> hi. I updated to 12.04 and tftpd-hpa doesn not work anymore, when trying to get a file, I get "no such file" error
[14:11] <amel> hello people?
[14:11] <katspaugh> Hi! Could you recommend a PPA for Node.js releases?
[14:12] <amel> why does my terminal say no command deb found
[14:12] <amel> ?
[14:12] <mcb_>  Beelsebob: I am not sure, but mine is working with those settings and if TIMOUTOUT=10......
[14:12] <alankila> Beelsebob: you may have hit "recordfail" thing also. grub ignores the timeout you set if the recordfail thing evaluates to true
[14:12] <Oasa> !deb | amel
[14:12] <gaelfx> amel: deb is not a command, perhaps you want dpkg?
[14:12] <jpds> katspaugh: PPAs are unsupported, we never recommend them.
[14:12] <Oasa> Just double click the file. amel
[14:12] <amel> no like i just want to update my 10.4
[14:13] <gaelfx> amel: then you need to click on the second link in the message ubottu has sent to you
[14:13] <Oasa> amel: I suggest you do a clean install as you have reached EOL.
[14:13] <amel> clean install?
[14:13] <gaelfx> !eol > amel
[14:13] <katspaugh> jpds: I didn't realize it's the official channel. Thanks, I'll use the source then.
[14:13] <Beelsebob> mcb_: you know why this isn't working… GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3 is being used… o.O
[14:13] <r4y> gaelfx, it hasn't stopped Unpacking python-configobj
[14:13] <Beelsebob> I wonder why...
[14:13] <Oasa> amel: Check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[14:14] <gaelfx> r4y: what hasn't stopped unpacking?
[14:14] <cypher-neo> Thanks for the help fidel_ and alankila. I figured out both the package name and it's PID to send the error report.
[14:14] <jpds> katspaugh: There's a nodejs package in the archives though.
[14:14] <r4y> With installing pastebinit, it hasn't passed this line: "Unpacking python-configobj (from .../python-configobj_4.7.1-1_all.deb) ..."
[14:15] <CJKay> L3top: After a complete nightmare toying with recovery mode, drivers and the likes, I have *finally* managed to get ironhide working with my card
[14:15] <gaelfx> !info nodejs > katspaugh
[14:15] <wombatism1> so what do I do to get my desktop wired connection to work?  I attempted to do the suggestion here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126743/internet-access-problem-in-12-04 but don't know if I did it right.  I'm assuming I didn't because it still isn't working.
[14:15] <CJKay> Although I now have a problem with LightDM refusing to log in as anyone that isn't... well... me
[14:15] <CJKay> Or, rather the other way round. Can't log in as myself. Only guet
[14:15] <amel> how do i upgrade grub?
[14:15] <CJKay> guest*
[14:16] <gaelfx> amel: the easiest way right now would be for you to do a fresh install of an Ubuntu release that is still supported
[14:16] <amel> how do i do that?
[14:16] <katspaugh> jpds, gaelfx, yeah, thanks. It's kinda old though.
[14:16] <KSHawkEye> Hello, I'm trying to get internet access on my debian machine but I can't seem to. ifconfig shows no eth0
[14:16] <amel> i downloaded the iso and then tried booting to it to my hardis kwhenevr i try that it says bootloader failed
[14:17] <gaelfx> amel: download an iso for 11.04, 11.10 or 12.04 and install it via CD or USB
[14:17] <amel> i did try it with my harddisk it says bootloader failed
[14:17] <r4y> Can I close the terminal that didn't finish installing pastebinit, and start over
[14:17] <Oasa> amel: What do you mean by booting into hardisk ?
[14:17] <amel> yes like using the disk creator manager
[14:18] <gaelfx> r4y: you said it was hanging on the unpacking?
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> amel: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[14:18] <wombatism1> to avoid repeating myself, it would be nice if someone could acknowledge that my query will be looked at when someone has the free time.
[14:18] <amel> havent tried this will do thanks
[14:18] <r4y> yes
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> Hmm n
[14:18] <gaelfx> nyuszika7h: he's using 10.10, which recently hit EOL
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> O
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> h
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> Oh*
[14:18] <gaelfx> r4y: then it should be ok
[14:18] <nishttal2> is there a way to add pandora to gmusicbrowser?
[14:19] <amel> it says 0 installed 0 upgarded
[14:19] <Oasa> amel: Just out the usb or cd and use that as the first boot device from the bios. Then chose Install. and everything should go well.
[14:19] <nyuszika7h> Then what the others said...
[14:19] <amel> how do i do that my first time
[14:19] <nyuszika7h> Wouldn't do-release-upgrade work?
[14:20] <nyuszika7h> Or whatever it was called
[14:20] <katspaugh> hey nyuszika7h!
[14:20] <nyuszika7h> Hi
[14:20] <gaelfx> nyuszika7h: fresh installs are usually safer
[14:20] <amel> 0asa can you guide ne through it
[14:20] <nyuszika7h> True
[14:21] <zamba> where's the systray in unity?
[14:21] <zamba> stuff's supposed to be closed to the systray, but i haven't got that.. stuff just disappears
[14:22] <tachyons> Hello
[14:23] <gaelfx> zamba: what's supposed to be closed to the systray?
[14:23] <thomaspr> Anyone still running Natty here ?
[14:23] <amel> can anybody helpp with me a clean install?
[14:23] <pavan> hello guys, using 12.04 64 bit
[14:24] <gaelfx> thomaspr: I believe amel is, but it seems he's not having such a good time of it
[14:24] <r4y> gaelfx forget pastebinit, I don't need it
[14:24] <zamba> gaelfx: sflphone
[14:24] <amel> no i am still on the 10 :/
[14:24] <amel> want to upgrade to natty
[14:24] <gaelfx> r4y: but it's sooooo great
[14:24] <pavan> is ~500 processor wakeups / second normal behavior
[14:24] <gaelfx> my bad
[14:25] <amel> need help with a clean install though my harddisk dsnt seem to do the job
[14:25] <tachyons> Am i slleping?
[14:25] <gaelfx> amel: is there any reason you want to update to 11.04 instead of 12.04?
[14:25] <amel> because i have the 11.04 iso :D
[14:26] <amel> and 12.04 i heard has a little issuses?
[14:26] <gaelfx> amel: have you checked the md5 of the iso you downloaded?
[14:26] <Beelsebob> mcb_: when I do a sudo reboot, it's successfully avoiding the grub menu… but not when I shut down instead… any ideas what it might be setting/not setting to get this to work?
[14:26] <nyuszika7h> LTS having "little issues"?
[14:26] <amel> no what is that
[14:26] <thomaspr> I heard itś available NEXT week ?
[14:26] <gaelfx> !md5 | amel
[14:27] <wombatism1> I know I'm having issues with 12.04....can't get my desktop internet to work right
[14:27] <thomaspr> My trouble comes with New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1)
[14:28] <gaelfx> r4y: did you try making apt-get redownload the package you were having trouble with?
[14:28] <tachyons> Yup
[14:29] <thomaspr> Anyone else who can't update New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1) ???
[14:29] <gaelfx> !anyone | thomaspr
[14:30] <thomaspr> Next question is naturally WHY ?
[14:30]  * gaelfx needs to give ubottu a rest
[14:30] <thomaspr> but next answers are often: I don't have any troeuble with it ;-)
[14:30] <OerHeks> thomaspr, from a PPA ? or standard repo ( it is available now)
[14:30] <gaelfx> thomaspr: well, if you told us about the error that you're having, that might help us figure out what's actually wrong
[14:31] <r4y> It's OK, I can just use the online pastebin through Google for now, but I made note of pastebinit for later use
[14:31] <thomaspr> I'm sorry, but the description I see up here is GERMAN language :-(
[14:31] <codeur> saluy
[14:31] <gaelfx> thomaspr: when you say "it doesn't work," we can't really help with that
[14:32] <thomaspr> I didn't say "It doesn't ..."
[14:32] <OerHeks> !details | thomaspr
[14:32] <gaelfx> r4y: there are other cli pastebin tools, but I can't remember any others names :/
[14:32] <thomaspr> In "Aktualisierungsverwaltung" I can't check this new version  :-(
[14:33] <thomaspr> I have a problem with New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1)
[14:33]  * gaelfx facepalms
[14:33] <thomaspr> I'm running 11.04
[14:34] <ikonia> thomaspr: then contact upstream
[14:34] <thomaspr> What's Aktualisierungsverwaltung called in the english versions ?
[14:34] <wombatism1> I have a problem with getting my desktop to connect to the internet, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 When I try to add the information as suggested in the answer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/126743/internet-access-problem-in-12-04 it does not solve my issue.
[14:34] <nyuszika7h> gaelfx, r4y: wgetpaste
[14:34] <gaelfx> nyuszika7h: nice, thanks :D
[14:34] <amel> need help with clean install
[14:34] <nyuszika7h> You're welcome :)
[14:34] <nyuszika7h> It uses LodgeIt
[14:35] <wombatism1> Here is the solution as offered on the link: I solved the problem by inserting entries for dns-nameserver, dns-domain and dns-search into /etc/network/interfaces. I obtained the values required from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original.
[14:35] <gaelfx> amel: did you check the md5?
[14:35] <amel> no i have no idea how to the site gave me some commands to run but when i do it says no command
[14:36] <wombatism1> when I c/p the info from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original to etc/network/interfaces there is no change...I used sudo on gedit to make the changes
[14:36] <gaelfx> amel: ok, let's start over. Are you using a CD or a USB?
[14:36] <amel> hardisk ntfs formatted
[14:37] <thomaspr> New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1) is not part of MAIN or UNIVERSE ???
[14:37] <ikonia> thomaspr: no
[14:37] <amel> i use the create disk manager but at the end it says bootloader failed downloaded the iso from the official site
[14:37] <gaelfx> amel: to do a fresh install, you need to either burn the iso tp a CD or use the USB startup disk creator to copy it to a USB
[14:38] <amel> i did use that it says bootloader failed at the end :(
[14:38] <wombatism1> Are my comments appearing here?  I don't seem to of generated a single response to my issue.
[14:38] <Dr_willis> id suggest downloiading the iso yourself using torrents
[14:38] <Dr_willis> wombatism1,  we see you.
[14:38] <thomaspr> ikonia: I unchecked all except MAIN and UNIVERSE to locate the error hmhmhmhm ???
[14:38] <ikonia> what ?
[14:38] <amel> i did download from the offical site
[14:38] <r4y> gaelfx I am sorry but I am talking to holstein on the Ubuntu-beginners channel because  asked  there when I came here. I have nothing against you. TY for trying to help me
[14:38] <ikonia> thomaspr: where did you install the firefox package form ?
[14:38] <Ethek> Whats the best way to backup a system and selected apps to auto update from the latest from ppas
[14:39] <gaelfx> r4y: no worries
[14:39] <Dr_willis> !clone
[14:39] <fteumer> Can someone help a Ubuntu noob out? I'm trying to install it alongside my windows 7, but when i boot from the disc, instead of getting "Install alongside Windows 7" i get "Install Inside Windows 7", any thoughts? I am trying 12.04 64-bit
[14:39] <Dr_willis> Ethek,  you want an exact cloned 'image' of your current install?
[14:39] <magic_al> hey all, i am trieing to install a programm from a cd under ubuntu 11. evertime the installer tells me he is not able
[14:39] <Dr_willis> fteumer,  you sure its booting the cd?  you are getting to the ubuntu desktop?
[14:40] <magic_al> to create the folder
[14:40] <Dr_willis> magic_al,  what program exactly?
[14:40] <gaelfx> amel: did you put the ISO on a CD or USB after you downloaded it?
[14:40] <thomaspr> ikonia: I never did anything handy - used the included in 11.04 from the beginning and let it make all updates via Aktualisierungsverwaltung god, what's the name of it in english ?
[14:40] <magic_al> matlab
[14:40] <amel> i put it in my hard disk yes
[14:40] <amel> gaelfx:
[14:40] <Dr_willis> magic_al,  try copying the installer to the hd perhaps?   could be its trying to install to some system dir and you need to run the installer as root also.
[14:41] <fteumer> yes, i have the option to install or try
[14:41] <fteumer> and i usually run try
[14:41] <kasii> need a help on this errorhttp://imagebin.org/210805
[14:41] <kasii> need a help on this error      http://imagebin.org/210805
[14:41] <fteumer> then make sure lal my hardware is working, then go to install
[14:41] <gaelfx> amel: putting it "in" your hard disk won't do anything, it's needs to be on a CD or USB, otherwise you would be installing it on the same media you're booting it from which causes problems
[14:41] <Dr_willis> fteumer,  you may want to see how your hard drive is partioned. If you allready have 4 primary partions - that can  cause issues.
[14:41] <kasii> need a help on this error      http://imagebin.org/210805
[14:42] <amel> gaelfix: i meant in a seprate harddisk
[14:42] <amel> gaelfx:
[14:42] <kasii> need a help on this error      http://imagebin.org/210805
[14:42] <momoboy> are there any Microsoft sql server management studio alternatives for linux?
[14:42] <fteumer> I do, does this mean i should manually make more partitions for Ubuntu using hte "Something else" option?
[14:42] <saxin> I get: "dpkg: error processing icaclient:i386 every time I try to install something. How can I remove the installation for this package?
[14:42] <nyuszika7h> !repeat | kasii
[14:42] <Dr_willis> fteumer, i always use 'somthing else' because i know how i want my hds partioned.
[14:42] <tachyonsos_> hi
[14:43] <gaelfx> amel: is this separate hard disk booting before the hard disk on which you want to install? also, you can't put the iso on an NTFS drive, I think it needs to be FAT formatted
[14:43] <Dr_willis> 'somthign else' - what a vague term to use in the installer.. ;)
[14:43] <resno> my current machine is being deprecated to being a server and no longer a desktop, should i reinstallt the os, or just remove the dekstop applications?
[14:43] <fteumer> Dr_willis, thank you for your help, I will look into this further
[14:43] <amel> gaelfx: yes i think thats the problem thanks alot :)
[14:43] <amel> its ntfs formatted
[14:43] <intore> hi, i need to mount a remote fs and i created this script but am not sure is correct. first of all, how do i have to do to have a script that runs at the boot?
[14:43] <tachyonsos_> Any indian ubuntu users? :)
[14:43] <bazhang> !in | tachyonsos_
[14:43] <gaelfx> amel: I hope it works out for you
[14:44] <amel> gaelfx: when i fat format it what should i do after that?
[14:44] <gaelfx> bazhang: that's the first one I've seen that was still in English
[14:44] <thomaspr> It's UPDATE-MANAGER telling me something like: Not all updates can be installed
[14:44] <rpage>  Hello all i am having issues setting up synergy to start before logging for Linuxmint 12
[14:44] <gaelfx> amel: use the USB startup disk creator on the drive. You should be able to format it using the startup disk creator
[14:45] <bazhang> gaelfx, there are a few like that
[14:45] <amel> gaelfx: Thanks alot :)
[14:45] <aethelrick> kasii, that error tells you that firefox is offering to give up running a script that is taking too long. The problem is not an Ubuntu one, please see the author of the script in question i.e. the website your on
[14:45] <rpage> i am unable to find any off the files mention on online docs
[14:45] <gaelfx> amel: no problem
[14:45] <magic_al> Dr_willis: it tries to install to /usr/bin/matlab... is that a system folder?
[14:45] <rpage> any one using synergy
[14:45] <gaelfx> !anyone > rpage
[14:45] <Dr_willis> magic_al,  anything not in the users home dir - is basically a system directory.. so yes.
[14:45] <saxin> I get: "dpkg: error processing icaclient:i386 every time I try to install something. How can I remove the installation for this package? Tried dpkg --configure -a but still happens
[14:45] <Shanth> hello every one
[14:46] <L30n0v> hi all
[14:46] <Ethek> Dr_willis,  Cloned image would work, but I was thinking more of an install from factory with a automatic download of preselected apps
[14:46] <anudaasa> start upgrade
[14:46] <kasii_> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[14:46] <magic_al> Dr_willis: is there a standard directory for programms like the windows C:/Programms?
[14:46] <Dr_willis> rpage,  id say set it up on a per user basis. perhaps check askubuntu.com or the forums for otehrs that have done  your way. and we dont support mint here.
[14:46] <Dr_willis> magic_al,  check out the LSB guide I think
[14:46] <Dr_willis> !lsb
[14:46] <Ethek> just a way to backup or register which apps are on the system
[14:46] <Shanth> uh any one tell me a command line music player that shows timeline and visual effects
[14:47] <Pici> !fhs | magic_al
[14:47] <wombatism1> Well, it seems I should keep searching for an answer through bug reports Dr_willis do people read backlogs on this channel and give answers or is the traffic a problem for most to want to do this regularly?  Basically, should I ask again later or assume someone will eventually respond if they have an answer?
[14:47] <kasii_> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[14:47] <gaelfx> Shanth: I know there's something in VLC that lets you watch movies in terminal, but I can't remember how to do it
[14:47] <Klej> Someone knows any free barcode online reader ????
[14:48] <kasii_> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[14:48] <Shanth> gaelfx plz recollect it
[14:48] <gaelfx> Shanth: very trippy, especiall for movies like the Matrix :D
[14:48] <gaelfx> Shanth: hang on
[14:48] <Shanth> plzzzzzzzz
[14:48] <Dr_willis> wombatism1,  im not even clear on what your pproblem was.. i alwyas check askubuntu.com :)
[14:48] <Klej> Someone knows any free barcode online reader ????
[14:48] <Shanth> i'm waiting
[14:48] <nyuszika7h> Ethek: dpkg --get-selections
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Klej: how is that ubuntu related?
[14:48] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  ive seen mplayer have a 'asciiart' video out plugin.
[14:49] <kasii_> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[14:49] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: yeah, it's probably the same thing VLC uses
[14:49] <Ethek> thanks nyuszika7h
[14:49] <nyuszika7h> You're welcome :)
[14:49] <Ethek> not familiar with dpkg but Ill look into it more
[14:49] <Shanth> syntax for vlc
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: Dr_willis http://oreilly.com/pub/h/4441
[14:49] <Ethek> Seems like it should be a feature of Ubuntu software centre and your UbuntuOne account
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> Shanth: what do you need?
[14:50] <Dr_willis> vlc --help   ;)
[14:50] <Dr_willis> bbl
[14:50] <Shanth> to play video in terminal
[14:51] <gaelfx> Shanth: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/20/terminal-tip-ascii-ify-your-videos/
[14:51] <Athanasius> how do I modify the list of directories on the left in the gnome file browser? (Like, there's Pictures, Videos, Movies, Downloads, etc etc and I want to add another)
[14:51] <wombatism1> Dr_willis: As do I, but what I did didn't resolve the issue.  Problem is getting 12.04 on desktops to recognize domain names (like for web browsing and software updates).  Because I don't have IP addresses to every site I want to visit, this makes my desktop completely worthless atm
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> Shanth: vlc my.avi -V caca
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> Shanth: did you read the man page?
[14:51] <Shanth> i'll try thanx gaelfx'
[14:51] <gaelfx> Shanth: or what ActionParsnip said :P
[14:52] <misterbeen> well I installed 12.04 and now I have a problem,I can't connect to wifi,on 11.04 It recognizes automatically wifi network,here it isn't case,does know how do I fix this problem ,wifi stick is dlink DWL-G122
[14:52] <AkumaStreak> I had some people in a Mac channel trying to tell me that OS X terminal experience is as good as Linux, I had to quit the channel for good, fanboys
[14:52] <AkumaStreak> Arg
[14:52] <gaelfx> Shanth: it's by far the coolest thing in the history of media player technology: ascii movies :D
[14:52] <buzz_> can anyone help me with a grub problem?
[14:52] <ikonia> AkumaStreak: who cares ? it's nothing to do with this channel
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> buzz_: ask and see
[14:52] <ale91varese> ciao a tutti
[14:52] <buzz_> i was trying to get rid of my windows partition
[14:53] <buzz_> i now have /dev/sdb2 (extended) and inside it i have /dev/sdb5 which is where ubuntu is
[14:53] <AkumaStreak> ikonia: Any chance to pounce, eh? You don't want to talk about Linux, don't reply.
[14:53] <buzz_> but grub won't install to /dev/sdb5
[14:53] <wombatism1> !12.04

[14:53] <ale91varese> qualcuno mi puo dare una mano?
[14:53] <Pici> !it | ale91varese
[14:53] <ThinkT510> AkumaStreak: this is for support only
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> buzz_: its the first logical partition in your extended partition
[14:54] <AkumaStreak> First time here. Didn't know. Thanks.
[14:54] <Pici> AkumaStreak: Try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat.
[14:54] <wawowe> anyone have any idea what could be taking up space in my encrypted home directory? i woke up today and it's suddenly full, 250gb of something came out of nowhere overnight
[14:54] <AkumaStreak> Pici: thx
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: try clearing your browser cache
[14:55] <buzz_> how can i get grub to work?
[14:55] <buzz_> i really don't want to reformat
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: how big is your dropbox cache?
[14:55] <SunTsu> wawowe: du -sh * | grep G
[14:56] <wawowe> not sure where dropbox cache is
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: do you use dropbox?
[14:56] <wawowe> no
[14:56] <roger_padactor> i installed ubuntu on a compaq presatio but the wire internet doesn't work. in network setting everything looks ok.  Anyone know of any issues?
[14:56] <wawowe> not unless kde is using it
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: makes that easier :), try SunTsu's command :)
[14:57] <Fyodorovna> buzz_, have you checked if the HD is being read differently due to a cd or usb boot?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[14:57] <wawowe> 3.9G    Videos
[14:57] <wawowe> is the only output
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: try without the grep
[14:57] <SunTsu> wawowe: then do the same with da dot in front of the asterisk: .*
[14:58] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: Nope
[14:58] <wawowe> the .* showed it :)
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: ok, run:  sudo lshw -C network     what is the product line for the interface?
[14:58] <wawowe> .xsession-errors is 263G
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: yikes
[14:59] <gaelfx> whoa...call Guinness?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: try:  rm ~/.xsession-errors
[14:59] <gaelfx> wawowe: you might wanna take a step back before pressing enter
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Mine's 12k here
[15:00] <wawowe> bunch of kmix errors at the end
[15:00] <wawowe> did tail .xsession-errors
[15:00] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: it says PCI (sysfs) that is it
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: give it time, your pci bus is slow
[15:01] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: it said something really fast then went back to the command line. but what it did didn't show anything
[15:01] <anudaasa> what is best free linux game ?
[15:01] <kasii> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> anudaasa: there is no best game on any OS
[15:02] <wawowe> millions of kde related errors
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> anudaasa  whatever you like most
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: did you use a capitalized C?
[15:02] <roger_padactor> yes
[15:02] <anudaasa> ok, dosbox :-)
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: try:  lspci     see if it tells you there
[15:03] <aethelrick> kasii, figure out which web site is causing you the problem.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> anudaasa: dosbox isn't a game
[15:03] <nexium> Anyone know how to troubleshoot things like slow logout times ?
[15:03] <gaelfx> anudaasa: I enjoy Planeshift every now and then
[15:03] <kasii> aethelrick, i was using firefox
[15:03] <kasii> aethelrick, mozilla firefox
[15:03] <Kucuq> Hi. I tried to install flrx via jockey. It didn't work and i have no clue why. http://paste.ubuntu.com/964818/
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> anudaasa: urbanterror is pretty sweet if you like counterstrike, or the penumbra series (not free, the demo is, very worth the cash)
[15:04] <c[_]> http://i.imgur.com/x0dai.png < anyone know how to solve that problem with Compiz Grid so there isnt a space between the windows?
[15:05] <kasii> aethelrick, mozilla firefox
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> anudaasa  http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html
[15:05] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: lots of Nvidia stuff
[15:06] <gaelfx> Kucuq: I see a few hundred lines of nothing
[15:08] <thomaspr> UPDATE-MANAGER doen't let me check -->[]Version 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1)
[15:08] <wawowe> i removed .xsession-errors with rm but the space hasn't become available yet
[15:09] <wawowe> guess something is using the file
[15:09] <Kucuq> gaelfx: I can't see errors aswell, but jocky says the installtion failed, and that no driver is installed
[15:09] <jsebean> Hey all, my Ubuntu 12.04 notifications (like when I connect to wifi) has turned white instead of the default, how do I fix this?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: could run:  lsof | grep xsession
[15:09] <L3top> Ethek: check out remastersys
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> c[_]: i'd ask in #compiz
[15:10] <Ethek> L3top, Ill do that
[15:10] <wawowe> lots of kde stuff
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> thomaspr: if you run;  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade       are some packages marked as held back. This does happen
[15:10] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: i think i got it.  MCP61 Ethernet ?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: try:  sudo lshw -C network      it should show the device
[15:11] <thomaspr> ActionParsnip: I'd rather stay with Natty :-)
[15:11] <thomaspr> No upgrade
[15:11] <ibrokeit> Hey guys/gals I need some quick help, I can't log in to unity, I just get a black screen, like xnomad without any configurations
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: are there lights flashing around the interface you have the wire in. Is the indicator light on the device you are connecting to showing as connected?
[15:11] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: like i said it runs through them but it does't output anything to the screen that stays
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> thomaspr: you will stay with natty
[15:11] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip:  yes
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset| ibrokeit
[15:11] <thomaspr> even with upgrade ?
[15:12] <roger_padactor> in the setting i even have the correct ip and gateway and everything
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> thomaspr: yes, upgrade just upgrades the packages from the repos you have, changing release is a bit more involved
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: do you not use DHCP?
[15:13] <roger_padactor> yes.  The ethernet is coming from a switch with is connected to the comp I'm talking to you right now on.
[15:13] <wawowe> did this: touch .xsession-errors && chmod 444 .xsession-errors
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: better?
[15:13] <ibrokeit> tried nomodeset to no avail
[15:13] <wawowe> should be after i kill all those processes :)
[15:14] <jorn> heyho, i'm getting 406 errors on the german mirrors for the precise/universe amd64 Packages when i try to run update in aptitude
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: could reboot to root recovery mode if it's not playing :)
[15:14] <jorn> am i the only one with that problem or should i change the mirrors?
[15:14] <wawowe> haha
[15:14] <ibrokeit> it was working fine, untill i guess flash crashed and cpu shut down
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> jorn: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a
[15:16] <thomaspr> Die folgenden Pakete sind zurückgehalten worden: HELD BACK -->
[15:16] <thomaspr>   firefox firefox-globalmenu
[15:16] <thomaspr> Something known about that ?
[15:16] <jorn> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/964848/
[15:17] <wombatism1> not that it necessarily matters, but the issue is now solved it seems, I just needed to restart after doing my changes.  http://askubuntu.com/questions/126743/internet-access-problem-in-12-04 the answer works after adding the detail info.
[15:17] <skomorokh> 12.04 blanked grub on me. seems like it undid my nomodeset? i know i just need to hit 'e' but to do it i need a textmode grub. holding shift doesn't work. is there some other key or do i need to boot from cd/usb?
[15:18] <thomaspr> on upgrade HELD BACK -->
[15:18] <thomaspr> firefox firefox-globalmenu
[15:18] <thomaspr> Who knows ?
[15:18] <thomaspr> Comes with natty & NO UNITY
[15:19] <jsebean> Hey all, my Ubuntu 12.04 notifications (like when I connect to wifi) has turned white instead of the default, how do I fix this?
[15:19] <skomorokh> so if i can't force grub to text... is it okay to run update-grub from an 11.10 livecd for a 12.04 system?
[15:20] <Kucuq> I don't want to spam, but i think my question got burried. I tried to install flrx via jockey. It failed with a error and i have no clue why. Here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/964818/
[15:20] <Kucuq> I can't see any errors, but somehow it didn't work
[15:20] <amosek> hi there .. have a problem with samsung clx-3185fw printer .. wsince upgrade to 12.04 it has a red stop sign and cant print at all.. scanners gone as well.. any help?
[15:22] <dale> hey peeps. running ubuntu 10.10, and want to resize a partition.. so I can use some of this drive as backups for other machines. what could I use to resize it?
[15:22] <Kaco> dale, gparted?
[15:22] <edwinkcw> dale: gparted
[15:22] <Kaco> :)
[15:22] <dale> thanx
[15:22] <jorn> ActionParsnip: any idea? or should i just select another mirror?
[15:23] <wawowe> Kucuq: i don't know about jockey, but try apt-get install fglrx
[15:24] <r4y> This might be the problem I am having, but I don't know, but this hard drive is ext4 so: http://superuser.com/questions/278864/cant-mount-hard-drive-ubuntu
[15:24] <dale> Installing gparted.. :)
[15:24] <Varsuchi> so has everyone upgraded to 12.04?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> jorn: its not catastrophic
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> Varsuchi: ages ago :)
[15:25] <thomaspr> Here's Natty :-)
[15:25] <mbeierl_> Varsuchi, nope
[15:25] <edwinkcw> Varsuchi: not yet...still waiting 12.04.1
[15:25] <Varsuchi> Action - it seems to be much better. I stay away from test os's.
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> jorn: could try a different source I guess
[15:25] <thomaspr> But Natty has a problem with the ltest firefox, I see :-(
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Varsuchi: 12.04 is released now, not a test OS now
[15:26] <Varsuchi> Yea i have it installed.
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> edwinkcw  that would be in july https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule
[15:27] <edwinkcw> MonkeyDust: good to hear that.
[15:27] <edwinkcw> I don't mind to wait two more months
[15:27] <dale> After i installed gparted, I don't see it in the application list?
[15:28] <gaelfx> dale: system->administration
[15:28] <compdoc> dale, you use unity? should show up in the search
[15:28] <gaelfx> compdoc: he's on 10.10
[15:28] <dale> no, on 10.10
[15:29] <Varsuchi> just type gparted from a command line
[15:29] <dale> thanx
[15:29] <dale> see if i can get this partition resized without screwing this up :P
[15:30] <gaelfx> dale: resizes are usually painless, unless you're resizing NTFS :S
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> 10.10 is EOL
[15:31] <dale> yea, yea. i keep getting a popup about it. i am still debating on upgrading
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> dale: i'd clean install Precise
[15:31] <Varsuchi> dale: Precise is awesome. I would never go back to 10.10
[15:31] <Varsuchi> dale: and I even like Unity
[15:32] <dale> I should. but I got too much crap I don't want to loose.
[15:32] <Varsuchi> dale: i upgraded an 11.10 server I had and it upgraded without a flaw.
[15:32] <Varsuchi> dale: laptop too.
[15:32] <gaelfx> dale: next time, make a separate /home partition
[15:32] <dale> my home server is on 12.04
[15:32] <dale> but my laptop is still 10.10
[15:32] <davey_> anybody tell me how to update my intel drivers in linux?
[15:33] <r4y> can gparted be used on an ext4 hard drive?
[15:33] <gaelfx> davey_: which intel drivers? most of those are updated with the kernel, so whenever you update that, you've probably got the latest
[15:33] <syddraf> Where is the config file that contains the order and other information for GRUB?
[15:33] <gaelfx> r4y: yes
[15:33] <Varsuchi> syddraf: grub.conf
[15:34] <Freeman012> ciao
[15:34] <Freeman012> !list
[15:34] <r4y> Can it be used to make grub work again?
[15:34] <Sidewinder> Tiresome.
[15:34] <Resistance> r4y, gparted isnt grub.
[15:34] <Simkin> what's wrong with grub r4y?
[15:34] <syddraf> Varsuchi: there is no "grub.conf" file on my computer.
[15:34] <Freeman012> sorry
[15:34] <r4y> No init
[15:34] <Resistance> r4y, depending on the issue you're having with Grub, you may need to reinstall grub via a livecd
[15:35] <alesan> hi! how can I install the new gimp 2.8?
[15:35] <r4y> How?, I can't mount this hard drive
[15:35] <ThinkT510> Varsuchi: its grub.cfg and shouldn't be edited directly
[15:35] <gaelfx> syddraf: I think it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> alesan  software center or sudo apt-get install gimp
[15:35] <gaelfx> syddraf: could be wrong though
[15:35] <KM0201> MonkeyDust: i don't think thats gimp 2.8
[15:35] <KM0201> !info gimp
[15:35] <alesan> MonkeyDust, there is only 2.6 there
[15:35] <eutheria> when i upgraded to 12.04 the ppa's i had became disabled, when i added back in a number of packages didn't have a 12.04 version yet, so how can i find the packages that are installed that are no longer available ?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> alesan: there is a ppa
[15:36] <gaelfx> syddraf: definitely wrong, sorry
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> alesan: http://www.multimediaboom.com/install-gimp-2-8-ubuntu-12-04-ppa/
[15:36] <alesan> ActionParsnip, where? Also, PPAs are awful, they come and go, stay unsupported for months, etc etc
[15:36] <alesan> I was hoping Ubuntu had an official version of 2.8 in their repository, mantained etc
[15:37] <eutheria> add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
[15:37]  * ThinkT510 wonders why some people can't live without ppas, don't they realise they are 3rd party unsupported packages (then they wonder why things break)
[15:37] <KM0201> is 2.8 stable, or is it still beta?  that might explain why (or why not) 2.8 is not in 12.04
[15:38] <alesan> ThinkT510, I said, I was hoping the new long-awaited GIMP would be available throught the official long-supported channel
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: i've used it here for basic stuff, seems ok. Not sure on the status
[15:38] <ThinkT510> KM0201: very recently released as stable
[15:38] <Pici> KM0201, alesan: 2.8 was an RC last I checked.
[15:38] <alesan> KM0201, AFAIK it has been released today
[15:38] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: same here.. i'm a fan of gimp(like you, basic stuff)..  2.6 is fine for me
[15:38] <Varsuchi> syydraf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[15:38] <linuxmonkey> We are happy to announce immediate availability of GIMP 2.8 — a new stable version of GNU Image Manipulation Program that culminates 3.5 years of exciting work.
[15:38] <alesan> http://www.gimp.org/
[15:38] <Varsuchi> syydraf: that should help
[15:38] <Varsuchi> they have changed it.
[15:38] <KM0201> alesan: well, that explains it.. they're not gonna put a beta in an LTS
[15:38] <alesan> KM0201, 2.8 will finally have one window mode
[15:39] <skomorokh> ThinkT510: one or two flakey PPAs are easier to deal with than Arch, Gentoo or Debian unstable. It's a tradeoff.
[15:39] <alesan> not the insane 15 windows thing
[15:39] <KM0201> alesan: it's never really bothered me to be honest
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> alesan: there is a python script somewhere to make it into one window
[15:39] <syddraf> gaelfx: It has the menu entries, but also says in big angry letters not to edit the file.
[15:39] <ThinkT510> skomorokh: really? all i see is others with problems, arch runs smoothly for me
[15:39] <linuxmonkey> I takes a bit of time when a new release is launched for it to make it in the repo
[15:39] <r4y> What if I install Ubuntu next to Ubuntu on this hard drive?, I know I have the space on it. I really want to be able to back up the info on it.
[15:39] <Varsuchi> syddraf: /etc/default/grub
[15:40] <alesan> KM0201, "it has been released today" check www.gimp.org if you do not believe
[15:40] <Varsuchi> syddraf: edit it as you need then run update-grub after to generate a new configuration file
[15:40] <skomorokh> ThinkT510: well, like said, one or two. if you want a lot of the newest stuff you're totally right, arch is the way.
[15:40] <KM0201> alesan: and 12.04 2as released... a week ago.  unless you have a way of manipulating the space time continuum... you can't make the two match
[15:40] <syddraf> Varsuchi: There's nothing in that file that has anything to do with the menu entries, though
[15:41] <gaelfx> syddraf: yeah, I realized that after the fact, sorry
[15:41] <linuxmonkey> alesan, the source code was released today it can take a few weeks before an actual package is released
[15:41] <alesan> KM0201, apparently some random guy made a PPA for Gimp2.8, why wouldn't Canonical be able to do the same
[15:41]  * KM0201 sighs
[15:41] <Pici> !latest | alesan
[15:41] <KM0201> alesan: you just don't get it.
[15:41] <alesan> linuxmonkey, oh OK thanks! that makes sense
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: what do you want to achieve?
[15:42] <alesan> linuxmonkey, but do you think they will integrate it? Or I will have to wait for Ubuntu 12.10 ???
[15:42] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: I want to remove some entries and reorder the list.
[15:42] <eutheria> oh i like gimp 2.7
[15:42] <eutheria> err 8
[15:42] <Varsuchi> syddraf: that link i sent has instructions for adding different options...
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: if you run:  uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image    what is output? use a pastebin to host
[15:43] <thomaspr> @linuxmonkey:
[15:43] <thomaspr> What source code was released today ?
[15:43] <Varsuchi> syddraf: in the menu.. its kind of complicated. i think the kernet normally detects the installed os's upon rebuilding the grub config.
[15:43] <KM0201> thomaspr: gimp
[15:43] <Varsuchi> syddraf: but there is a process for adding manual items in that article.
[15:43] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/964897/
[15:44] <jsebean> Hey all, my Ubuntu 12.04 notifications (like when I connect to wifi) has turned white instead of the default, how do I fix this?
[15:44] <linuxmonkey> From what I gather it probably will be made available, usully is but it all depends on who on the ubuntu teams takes care of that package
[15:44] <syddraf> Varsuchi: I don't see an article link, can you please post it again?
[15:44] <gaelfx> good night, #ubuntu
[15:45] <Varsuchi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[15:45] <L3top> jsebean: display/themes/
[15:45] <jsebean> L3top: ??
[15:45] <thomaspr> KM0201: Thought you were talking about PRECISE
[15:45] <KM0201> thomaspr: i am
[15:46] <jsebean> L3top: the notifications now have buttons like a close button and dont show this message again, id like to know how to get the normal notifications back
[15:46] <thomaspr> KM0201: Am I doing something wrong as I merely see: New release 'oneiric' available.
[15:46] <thomaspr> Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.0.*    will leave you with only the precise kernel
[15:47] <L3top> I misunderstood your question then jsebean. I thought you were saying it was black and is now white.
[15:47] <Simkin> https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18833 <-- anyone know how to fix this?
[15:47] <L3top> KM0201: are you on 1004?
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> thomaspr: that will need sudo :)
[15:47] <ThinkT510> thomaspr: you are on natty, so oneric is next
[15:47] <linuxmonkey> alesan: check out http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/gimp so you could ask when via launchpad but id suggest getting on their mailing list and being patient
[15:47] <KM0201> thomaspr: i think you took something i said that had nothing to do w/ what you're saying, and are somehow applying whatever it to mean.
[15:47] <Simkin> it says to edit the limits file in /etc/security but everything in there is commented out
[15:47] <KM0201> L3top: negative, 12.04
[15:47]  * L3top is clearly confused
[15:48] <L3top> lol
[15:48] <TonciJukic_AFK> Redownloaded ISO of 12.04, still hands on Live run or installation. Is there a  setting that can help? Some safe mode for install?
[15:48] <alesan> linuxmonkey, :(
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> TonciJukic_AFK: did you MD5 test the ISO?
[15:48] <ThinkT510> thomaspr: to upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 you need to go through 11.10
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> thomaspr  or fresh install
[15:49] <nibbler_> since my upgrade to 12.4 i cannot connect to my companies samba-share anymore :/ smb://192.168.x.x/foo pops up a request for username, domain and password, but sign in does not work :/
[15:50] <thomaspr> ThinkT510: Right, I forgot there's no jumping over releases in ubuntu ;-)
[15:50] <Varsuchi> nibbler_: you need to install the cifs package
[15:50] <KM0201> well, you can, but you're guaranteed to brick something.
[15:50] <KM0201> lol
[15:50] <TonciJukic> Are there known issues where installation or Live hangs making mouse almost non-responsive (insanely high latency) and Unity hanging?
[15:51] <KM0201> Varsuchi: he doesn't have to install samba, to connect to a samba share
[15:51] <brightsparks> I had 1 Gb  of Ram installed when ubuntu 11.10 was installed. The swap partition created then was 1Gb. I have now added another Gb of ram. Should I try and up the swap partition to 4Gb. And how easy is it to do that. Object been to improve performance as 11.10 seems to just eat memory.
[15:51] <ThinkT510> thomaspr: you can go directly from lts to lts though, thats the only official way to "jump" releases
[15:51] <nibbler_> Varsuchi, installing cifs-utils....
[15:51] <Varsuchi> KM0201 I didnt say samaba
[15:51] <Varsuchi> I said CIFS
[15:51] <KM0201> oh, nevermind.
[15:51] <Varsuchi> thats correct nibbler
[15:51] <Varsuchi> that should fix it
[15:51] <TonciJukic> ThinkT510 how is your battery time on 12.04 (if on it)?
[15:51] <KM0201> he still shouldn't need to install cifs though i wouldn't think
[15:52] <Varsuchi> you can install this too nibbler - alt..
[15:52] <Varsuchi> sudo apt-get install smbfs
[15:52] <KM0201> i never installed it on this laptop, and i access cifs shares jsut fine
[15:52] <intore> hi, how is the way to bring up the network interfaces at boot. i need that at login screen the pc will be connected. is possible?
[15:52] <TonciJukic> Does 12.04 support AHCI or it needs IDE?
[15:52] <intore> am using ubuntu 11.10
[15:52] <ThinkT510> TonciJukic: i'm always plugged into mains sorry
[15:53] <KM0201> intore: if i'm not mistaken(unless its wireless) it should be "online" when at the login screen.. thats why you can SSH a machine, even if its on the login screen
[15:53] <nibbler_> Varsuchi, same - it does not seem to accept my username/domain/password
[15:53] <Varsuchi> what is the command you are using again?
[15:53] <Guest85523> i have installed 12.04 via usb and now it is unable to boot from hard disk, it just show blank screen
[15:54] <KM0201> Guest85523: are you on the machine now?
[15:54] <intore> KM0201, ok, i'll check it. thanks
[15:54] <nibbler_> Guest85523, try to edit the kernel line in the bootloader, remove quiet and splash, add: noapic lapic=off noacpi
[15:54] <Guest85523> KM0201- no
[15:54] <TonciJukic> I think 12.04 had to test for a few more months. The only way to install for me will probably be 11.10 then upgrade (or 11.04)
[15:54] <Guest85523> right now i am using 11.10
[15:54] <KM0201> Guest85523: is it a dual boot, or is ubuntu the only OS?
[15:55] <Guest85523> only os
[15:55] <KM0201> Guest85523: ok, boot the machine, and tart hitting the Shift button, when grub comes up, highlight the first kernel (not hte recovery one) and hit 'e'  and then let us know.
[15:55] <Guest85523> nibbler- how to edit kernel?
[15:56] <Seryth> Hey guys. I'm using Obuntu (Openbox  + Ubuntu) 11.10, and I want to change something about the notification popups. You know those small black rectangles that show up when a new song plays, or someone messages you on xchat, or whatever? I need to be able to click it to make it dissapear. It's currently staying visible for 30 seconds, which is unbareable. Any ideas?
[15:56] <KM0201> Guest85523: thats what i'm talking you through, we need to remove the splash so you can see the error.
[15:56] <dem0n> hey everyone... i am on ubuntu 12 ARM on my android phone and i must say i love it! one question i have is, is there an adobe flash for firefox that i can use for ubuntu ARM or can i use the adobe flash 32 bit app for linux? or will adobe flash not work for linux on android phones?
[15:56] <nibbler_> Guest85523, press a button when you see the boot menu and press e
[15:56] <Guest85523> which button?
[15:56] <KM0201> shift... that should bring up grub
[15:56] <tensorpudding> right shift
[15:57] <KM0201> is it specifically right shift?
[15:57] <tensorpudding> it brings up the bootloader menu
[15:57] <tensorpudding> i think so
[15:57] <KM0201> hmm, i thought it was just "shift"
[15:57] <Guest85523> ok
[15:57] <KM0201> Guest85523: do you have the menu up?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: did it clean up ok?
[15:58] <Wavesonics> damn... mid upgrade from the last LTS to 12.04, MySQL is giving me an error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
[15:58] <Wavesonics>  │ '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
[15:58] <txdv> maybe the position of that sock changed
[15:59] <Guest85523> it just show the f1 and f9 key to press then nothing blank screen
[15:59] <KM0201> Guest85523: listen, reboot the machine, as soon as you see the f1/f9 screen, start hitting right shift
[15:59] <nibbler_> Wavesonics, that means your mysql is not running, or its socket is somewhere else (location is defined in /etc/mysql/my.cnf or /etc/my.cnf cant remember
[16:00] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: Yeah, it cleaned the old linux kernels, but doesnt let me reorder. It looks like I need to manually edit grub.cfg each time it gets updated. (which, thankful, isn't that often)
[16:00] <Guest85523> km0201 -- then
[16:00] <KM0201> Guest85523: do you have your grub menu up?
[16:00] <TheAncientGoat> Hi guys; I have a couple of problems with 12.04 on my 3-4 year old HP Pavillion tx2000.. When I boot without connection to power, I sometimes get a black screen that is inescapable unless I hit alt-sysreq u, (tty swapping doesn't work), and unity 3d doesn't work with the proprietary nvidia drivers (with a geforce go 6150 card)
[16:00] <Guest85523> KM0201- no
[16:00] <TheAncientGoat> Noveau works, but I get strange hangs at times then
[16:00] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, looks like mine is here: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[16:00] <KM0201> Guest85523: when the menu comes up, highlight the first kernel entry (not the recovery entry)... and hit e
[16:01] <Guest85523> and then
[16:01] <Wavesonics> which seems to be where its looking
[16:01] <nibbler_> Wavesonics, ps waxl|grep mysqld
[16:01] <KM0201> Guest85523: once you do that, you'll see a line that has "quiet splash" at the end... delete quite splash, then hit Cntrl + X to save and continue booting.. that will remove the splash screen... when the boot process stops, look at the error
[16:01] <TheAncientGoat> Also, booting in safe mode always works when disconnected from power, I suspect it is a gpu powersaving bug
[16:01] <Guest85523> ok
[16:02] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, http://pastebin.com/uX7bGayu
[16:02] <nibbler_> Wavesonics, did you try restarting mysql? does /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock exist?
[16:02] <aldo_> hi, can you help me?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: no, you dont touch grub.cfg
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: how do you want to reorder, do you want windows to be the top by any remote chance?
[16:03] <Varsuchi> aldo: we will try
[16:03] <aldo_> tnks a lot!
[16:03] <aldo_> so, i have 5 pc
[16:03] <aldo_> with Ubuntu
[16:03] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, shit, wrong ssh window, 1 sec
[16:04] <aldo_> and i use 1 pc for Ubuntu Server 12.04
[16:04] <chrisgeorge> if I have remote access prompt disabled, can anyone think of why vnc from OS X would hang to ubuntu?
[16:05] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, which ubuntu?
[16:05] <chrisgeorge> compdoc: 12.04
[16:05] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: Indeed, Windows at the top would be nice.
[16:05] <aldo_> how can I do to connect this pc with ubuntu server?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: sudo mv 30_os-prober 08_os-prober; sudo update-grub
[16:05] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, ha yup, mysqld was offline for some insane reason, started it up and bam, its all good
[16:05] <Wavesonics> thanks a million man!!
[16:05] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, what is in your .vnc/xtartup?
[16:06] <nibbler_> Wavesonics, welcome ;-)
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: you edit the grub config files. You NEVER touch grub.cfg because when update-grub gets ran, it will remove any settings
[16:06] <chrisgeorge> compdoc: interesting, it doesn't look like ~/.vnc even exists
[16:06] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, that was scary, i did this at the most retarded time possible, and everying was offline for the upgrade... such fail on my part.
[16:07] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, run vncpasswd, then run vncserver to create those files
[16:07] <compdoc> then quit vncserver
[16:07] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: Is the number at the beginning of "os-prober" just an ordering number or does it have to be 08?
[16:07] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, .vnc is hidden, btw
[16:07] <chrisgeorge> interesting compdoc, looks like they weren't even installed even though I enabled remote access in ubuntu
[16:07] <chrisgeorge> compdoc: Yeah
[16:08] <chrisgeorge> And aptititude can't even find those files. Interesting
[16:08] <molgrum> hi, i couldn't google this because i don't know how to phrase it, but does anyone else have problems with windows shifting workplace to the current when you click on the task button in unity?
[16:08] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, theres two types of vnc - one is vino which allows desktop sharing and requires that someone be logged into the console. ANd the other is vncserver, which is always running
[16:08] <Varsuchi> aldo: what are you wanting to connect? file share? nfs? and what 12.04 on all machines?
[16:09] <chrisgeorge> ah
[16:09] <chrisgeorge> vino is installed
[16:09] <compdoc> yeah, vino comes with the desktop
[16:09] <chrisgeorge> looks like I need to get vncserver installed ;)
[16:09] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, I like vnc4server
[16:10] <chrisgeorge> I'll give that a go compdoc. I apprecate it
[16:10] <chrisgeorge> appreciate
[16:10] <aldo_> file share and use phpmyadmin in all pc
[16:10] <compdoc> good luck
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: its just greater than the rest so moves it to the bottom, windows will then be top. I just use what I know to work
[16:12] <aldo_> do you understand?
[16:12] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: Thanks again for all your help. You always seem to solve my problems.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: I try
[16:13] <modernbob> anyone running postfix on 12.04 care to donate their main.cf
[16:13] <aldo_> ubuntu is only in 1 pc. Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop is install in others pc
[16:14] <compdoc> modernbob, the postfix conf is too complex. I like nullmailer
[16:14] <llutz> modernbob: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix                   chose/set the options you need
[16:14] <reader_> hai guys , how to access host ( 11.10 ) apache sever from guest ( xp) .guest os is setup-ed as host-only and can able to ping to host .
[16:14] <zuckerberg> there is a problem in desktop sidebar with 12.04
[16:15] <zuckerberg> it remains hidden which i have set
[16:15] <zuckerberg> but
[16:16] <Seryth> Hey guys. I'm using Obuntu (Openbox  + Ubuntu) 11.10, and I want to change something about the notification popups. You know those small black rectangles that show up when a new song plays, or someone messages you on xchat, or whatever? I need to be able to click it to make it dissapear.

[16:16] <llutz> modernbob: more info at http://www.postfix.org/docs.html and   http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html         just copying another main.cf makes no sense, since you don't know how the other postfix was configured and what it shall do

[16:21] <MrIronMan> I wanna my grandparents to have it as well, hehe

[16:23] <MrIronMan> Can anybody go along with me to try to install ubuntu here on the system?
[16:23] <MrIronMan> cause it freezes with no warning
[16:23] <tensorpudding> Khmerog, then you have kde as well, and you can choose between them at the login screen
[16:23] <cookiemon5ter> Khmerog, you can install kde apps with ubuntu it will just fetch the kdelibs that you will need to run it
[16:24] <L3top> At what point MrIronMan?
[16:24] <bdragon_> cookiemon5ter: i hope he have some space to download all the KDE Libraries
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> Khmerog: you will get the option of KDE or Gnome at the login page
[16:24] <Khmerog> tensorpudding when i first installed ubuntu 1104 i remeber this login screen but now i dont have this option..
[16:24] <reader_> how to access host apache server from virtual box guest os ?
[16:24] <MrIronMan> L3top, when I choose "Try Ubuntu"

[16:25] <MonkeyDust> Khmerog  what is it, you want or want to do?
[16:25] <tensorpudding> Khmerog,  that sounds like it, you can configure that option in the settings
[16:25] <Khmerog>  nothing im just trying to get uncofused about ubuntu/linux in genereal
[16:25] <MrIronMan> L3top, maybe it needs something like -noapic at the kernel, dunno
[16:25] <L3top> MrIronMan: Does it go black? Or does nothing happen?
[16:25] <MrIronMan> L3top, nothing
[16:26] <L3top> Yes... it just might.
[16:26] <L3top> !noapic
[16:26]  * L3top needs to just read the factoid page.
[16:26] <MrIronMan> L3top, but how could I do that?
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> Khmerog  'getting unconfused' is also called 'learn'
[16:27] <bdragon_> MonkeyDust: lol

[16:29] <ActionParsnip> reader_: set the networking to bridged and it will appear as another system on your LAN
[16:29] <ggherdov> Hi all. I'd like to know what is the "ubuntu way" to perform the following two operations: (1) set a user's shell say to bash (/etc/passwd ?) (2) set, persistently, and system-wide for all users, the keyboard layout to say US.
[16:29] <aldo_> I  want to be able to share files between your computers through your server and want to have phpMyAdmin accessible by your other systems from your Ubuntu Server system
[16:30] <llutz> ggherdov: 1 sudo chsh -s /bin/bash <username>
[16:30] <thomaspr> ggherdov: New user has already bash
[16:30] <reader_> ActionParsnip, I setup-ed  as host-only
[16:30] <Maya> Yey Gimp 2.8 is out!
[16:30]  * Maya parties.
[16:31] <MonkeyDust> Maya  not yet in the repos
[16:31] <Maya> I know.
[16:31] <Maya> Just hyping it up though.
[16:31] <bazhang> !ot > Maya
[16:31] <ggherdov> thomaspr: not in my case. I have been given an ubuntu Virtual Machine in god knows what state.
[16:32] <ggherdov> llutz: thankyou
[16:32] <reader_> ActionParsnip, If I setup as bridged it will only work when I connected to a wifi network .
[16:32] <MrIronMan> So, should I go with another distro? Or there are workarounds for this freeze at startup?
[16:32] <Maya> I also wonder if anyone knows hwo i can resolve an issue regarding adobe flash settings manager and gnome do. In Ubuntu 12.04
[16:33] <Plouj> After an online upgrade from oneiric to precise my mouse and touchpad do not work. In fact, the synaptic driver doesn't even appear to be loaded. Can someone help?
[16:33] <bdragon_> MrIronMan: if everytime you hit a wall in linux you are going to change distro i have tell you, your gonna have to buy lots of Cd's lol
[16:33] <Maya> The problem is, in any web browser I use. I can right click on a flash video, or flash animation, and then select settings. After that, flash is no clickable.
[16:33] <MrIronMan> bdragon_, that's not the case here
[16:34] <bdragon_> MrIronMan: google is your best frined my brother
[16:34] <bdragon_> Friend*

[16:35] <spow> MonkeyDust: thanks :)
[16:35] <bdragon_> MrIronMan: what is DuckDuckGo?
[16:35] <borlax> hey, anyone have a fix for lightdm hanging on the login screen?
[16:36] <MrIronMan> bdragon_, www.duckduckgo.com
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> duckduckgo <3
[16:36] <reader_> ActionParsnip, can u please help me to solve this ?
[16:36] <sin_tax> can someone tell me what I should put in fstab so my ntfs partition will show up as /media/windows/ instead of /media/109 GB filesystem?
[16:37] <sin_tax> I keep getting a Windows entry in my /media/ that eventually says it cannot be mounted and the 109 GB filesystem is still there...
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> reader_: i guess, I'd ask in #vbox
[16:37] <spow> startpage is privative also (if such is the subject), but it lacks the shortcuts ddgo has
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> bdragon_: its a webseach engine, without bubbles
[16:37] <reader_> ActionParsnip, Not getting any replay from #vbox
[16:37] <Maya> I prefer google to duckduckgo... If they would have image search URL on the page, then great. Dropdown boxes != sexy.
[16:37] <Propuls1on> Does anyone know why xpdf crashes instantly when I try to open a pdf file?
[16:38] <MrIronMan> spow, which service are you talking about?
[16:38] <MrIronMan> Maya, google is not free, it sells your personal information
[16:38] <spow> MrIronMan: dunno, someone said duckduckgo (I didn't see the question), startpage is a nice alternative
[16:39] <MrIronMan> Maya, while ddgo is
[16:39] <borlax> anyone having issues with lightdm locking up after you enter the password?
[16:39] <Maya> MrIronMan: Yea but I don't like clicking a lot.
[16:39] <Captain_Proton> Have a problem installing 12.04 on a asus desktop with efi. It will boot off CD or USB but it does not show a Hard Drive. any thoughts
[16:39] <safeith> How i can connect to HTTPS proxy like proxifier in windows ?
[16:39] <Maya> Captain_Proton: Make sure harddrive appears in your Asus bios.
[16:40] <bdragon_> safeith: you have to configure the browser
[16:40] <Maya> safeith: Visit #Windows
[16:40] <MrIronMan> Maya, I see... they are open for help, you could go there and help them out with what you cna
[16:40] <bdragon_> safeith: What brwoser are you using?
[16:40] <jgharris> Captain_Proton: Try F6 at boot and add the option nomodeset to the boot line. Wouldn't work on my MacBook unless I did that.
[16:41] <bdragon_> exit
[16:41] <bdragon_> exit
[16:41] <Captain_Proton> jgharris, I will give that a try
[16:41] <safeith> bdragon_: I have a http proxy and can inactive filtering with proxifier
[16:41] <Khmerog> sorry got disconnected
[16:41] <MrIronMan> Ok, guys, I have openSuse installed on the machine, gonna format and go with Ubuntu, lets see how it goes, cause the "Try Ubuntu" freezes up the machine
[16:41] <Khmerog> did anyone answer my question on where i can find the USB/SD Card folder in ubuntu?
[16:42] <MrIronMan> I will try it out, we can handle it, cant we?! :)
[16:42] <Captain_Proton> jgharris, is it shift to break the boot process
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Khmerog: how do you mean 'folder'?
[16:42] <Maya> MrIronMan: Do you like the Unity interface you see?
[16:42] <MrIronMan> Maya, big time!!!
[16:42] <Maya> :D
[16:42] <MrIronMan> Maya, it is perfect for my grand parents, big and easy
[16:42] <Maya> Good luck with it.
[16:43] <spow> Unity :S
[16:43] <MrIronMan> k3 Unity
[16:43] <Maya> MrIronMan: Wait, do not just install that.
[16:43] <MrIronMan> Maya, hum okay, what's on your mind?
[16:43] <Maya> MrIronMan: You should install compiz settings manager, and tweak how sensitive the unity tray opens.
[16:43] <spow> funny how "Unity" really did not unite the community :D
[16:43] <borlax> anyone having issues with lightdm?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> spow: indeed, more ironic than funny :)
[16:44] <ThinkT510> spow: got a problem?
[16:44] <MrIronMan> Maya, I am looking at the Welcome screen
 i want to see whats in my SD Card i just put in but it didnt autopop up like in windows
[16:44] <spow> ThinkT510: nah i'm fine, I got gnome back
[16:44] <MrIronMan> Maya, the "Try Ubuntu" will freeze up the machine, so I am thinking about installing it, then I can have a better picture of what is locking it
[16:45] <Draton> Quick question guys: what controls Unity's launch bar icons? I'm trying to pin IDLE but it doesn't seem to want to display the icon properly.
[16:45] <ThinkT510> Draton: is it a blank space?
[16:45] <thomas91991> anyone know how to change the screen dimming timeout in 12.04?
[16:45] <Draton> ThinkT510, It's a box w/ a question mark on it
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> Draton: its the icon in the .desktop file
[16:45] <ThinkT510> Draton: oh
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> thomas91991: screensaver / power options in system settings
[16:46] <SafariMonkey> Hi guys. Are there any lists of known adware for ubuntu/linux?
[16:46] <borlax> anyone having any issues with lightdm?
[16:46] <jgharris> Safari: Looking to remove it?
[16:46] <jrib> !anyone | borlax
[16:47] <Captain_Proton> thomas91991, brightness and lock in system settings
[16:47] <MrIronMan> gonna have to brige up my connection to share it here, maybe I will go down
[16:47] <Draton> ActionParsnip, that's what I thought too, but the .desktop file shows properly, at least in /usr/share/applications
[16:47] <abhinavlal> Any easy way to install mysql 5.1 in 12.04
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> borlax: none at all
[16:47] <Draton> ActionParsnip, unless I'm at the wrong dir?
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> SafariMonkey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware
[16:47] <Maya> spow: Just wait until it's more customizable, you might be able to move the Unity tray to bottom of your desktop screen.
[16:47] <borlax> Sorry, I am having an issue logging in with lightdm. it is hanging after i type in my password
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> Draton: yeah should be /usr/share/applications
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> borlax: tried the Unity2D session?
[16:48] <SafariMonkey> jgharris, yes. I seem to have a fedex banner on all flash content...
[16:48] <yellabs-r2> any idea why totem cant play mp4 ?
[16:48] <yellabs-r2> video
[16:48] <Draton> ActionParsnip, hmm, what file determines what's pinned to the bar? perhaps it's pointing at the wrong file?
[16:48] <Maya> yellabs-r2: Missing codecs. Might be.
[16:48] <spow> Maya: it's about having a portable interface for tablets too right ?
[16:48] <yellabs-r2> odd
[16:48] <Khmerog> can i be on multiple networks on IRC?
[16:48] <Simkin> Khmerog: yes

[16:49] <borlax> ActionParsnip: i did not, i have gdm running right now and that lets me in.
[16:49] <abhinavlal> Any easy way to install mysql 5.1 in 12.04 ?

[16:49] <Captain_Proton> abhinavlal, sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[16:49] <jgharris> Safari: Check out adblockplus extension for Mozilla. Never had any issues with adware. Also you can install ClamAV to scan your drives
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> yellabs-r2: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:49] <yellabs-r2> i did
[16:49] <mcb_> abhinavlal: Can it be MySQL 5.5?
[16:49] <yellabs-r2> maybe reboot ?
[16:49] <yellabs-r2> LOL
[16:49] <thomas91991> Captain_Proton,  there is no setting to set the timeout
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: why do you need remote desktop?
[16:49] <abhinavlal> Captain_Proton, that install mysql 5.5
[16:49] <ThinkT510> yellabs-r2: not really strange, totem is rather awful
[16:50] <skylined101> I want to install vmware workstatioon
[16:50] <yellabs-r2> hehe
[16:50] <Draton> skyjumpe1, I run a nas box w/ SSH
[16:50] <yellabs-r2> i will go for the reboot, see if that helps
[16:50] <abhinavlal> i need mysql 5.1 for a legacy application
[16:50] <borlax> ActionParsnip: I thought it might have had something to do with my custom background, but i even reinstalled lightdm and it still wont log in
[16:50] <Maya> spow: The future seems to be going this way: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android Looks cool.
[16:50] <yellabs-r2> long shot
[16:50] <Draton> skylined101, rather...
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: you can install vmware without a desktop...

[16:50] <spow> Maya: nooooo ... not android haha
[16:50] <skylined101> how ?
[16:50] <SafariMonkey> jgharris, I am sure it's local, it even plays on local swf files.
[16:50] <Maya> spow: Well, not exactly android, just interface wise. Looks cool on notebooks too.
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: its a binary installer that runs in a terminal, you don't need a terminal for that
[16:51] <Khmerog> if i want to complain about a OP who do i talk to
[16:51] <jgharris> SafariMonkey, Weird. Definately install ClamAV and see if it picks anything up.
[16:51] <wawowe> Khmerog: me
[16:51] <skylined101> yes but how can i manage vmware from terminal
[16:52] <jgharris> SafariMonkey, I think there is some root kit detection programs out there too.
[16:52] <ThinkT510> Khmerog: #ubuntu-ops i think
[16:52] <Maya> spow: But the reason I like Unity so much is that it's much cleaner. The menu bar is merged with the notification bar. So that is less pixels on your screen being used up. Your task bar would slide in/out whenever you need it. So the tray/tasks bar do not just sit there eating up pixels on your screen.
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: connect to it using the VIC

[16:53] <steveccc> hi all - i have an ext3 filesystem on an old disk and the standard filesystem check says the check is complete and the filesystem is not clean. Its most probably that the disk has broken but is there a harsher filesystem check / repair I could try
[16:53] <thomas91991> On my laptop if I don't interact with the system ubuntu dims my screen a bit after about 30-60 sec... I want to increase this time out to 5 minutes or something?
[16:53] <Captain_Proton> abhinavlal, backports maybe but why would you want to there are BIG security fixes in the latter vrs
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: runs well in Wine apparently: http://www.virtualinsanity.com/index.php/2009/02/02/vmware-infrastructure-client-on-ubuntu-an-update/
[16:54] <spow> Maya: true that ... but in a few full-screen consoles anyways ... and on ubuntu to cc Android + use Eclipse ... since it's the 'standard dev environment'. So I rolled back to gnome just to be closer to what i'm using
[16:54] <trekkme> when using ubuntu precises volume management to create a crypted partition, whats used as backend? luks/cryptsetup?
[16:55] <borlax> ActionParsnip: Just went through and tried Ubuntu2D and still not luck there
[16:55] <sin_tax> How can I add/change a label for an NTFS partition? Running 12.04 if it matters.
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> !label | sin_tax
[16:55] <sin_tax> Thanks AP
[16:55] <sin_tax> I trust that's OK for internal drives as well?
[16:56] <jgharris> !rootkit
[16:56] <spow> !gq
[16:56] <thomaspr> Khmerog: Have you found your devices in /media ?
[16:56] <mcb_> abhinavlal: Do you have a backup .deb file of MySQL 5.1? If not, you can download from mysql page, but i think they only let you download RPM files, so you will have to use alien to install, or download the tar ball and compile it.
[16:57] <yellabs-r2> solved the totem not playing mp4, install restricted, but also uninstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
[16:57] <Captain_Proton> thomas91991, you have to install gconf-editor and dig around in there
[16:58] <yellabs-r2> http://askubuntu.com/questions/126030/totem-not-playing-certain-videos-in-12-04
[16:58] <thomas91991> okay thanks
[16:58] <Maya> spow: I'm using eclipse+aptana right now, looks great.
[16:58] <yellabs-r2> aptana is great true
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: its a partition, so should be ok
[16:59] <spow> Maya: I'm used to vi and pure C :P
[16:59] <spow> Maya: so eclipse and java is a real pain
[16:59] <Maya> sin_tax: I hope you are using gparted. The interface for managing your partitions looks nice. More friendly
[16:59] <spow> Maya: but Ubuntu is ages more evolved than just a few years back
[17:00] <spow> so that's one good thing at least
[17:00] <kiran->  how to know my routers ip?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: the internmal IP or the external one?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: it has 2
[17:01] <Draton> ActionParsnip, interesting tidbit: when I use the hud and 'add to launcher', it gives me the generic icon, but by going to /usr/share/applications and dragging and dropping, it gives me the correct icon
[17:01] <syddraf> I'm trying to install the proprietary ati driver on a fresh xubuntu install, but it keeps failing. Does anyone know what could be causing it or where to look to find out?
[17:01] <kiran-> ActionParsnip tell me both
[17:01] <yellabs-r2> so thanks again great community of ubuntu users ! :)
[17:01] <Maya> kiran-: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17012/how-to-find-your-ip-address-in-ubuntu/
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: go to www.ipchicken.com  to see external
[17:02] <wawowe> syddraf: that was happening to me when i chose the updated version
[17:02] <kiran-> Maya no . not my ip. the routers page ip
[17:02] <Maya> kiran-: Visit Snoopmyip.com for external ip.
[17:02] <wawowe> syddraf: try the other one if you didn't
[17:02] <sin_tax> Maya, I am using GParted, thanks.  I had to unmount the partition before I could add the label, which was where I was hung up...
[17:02] <kiran-> ActionParsnip no . not my ip. the routers page ip
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: ip route show | grep default | awk '{ print $3}'    will show your internal IP
[17:03] <Maya> sin_tax: You can NEVER do anything to a partition that is mounted (Unless in rear cases but let use not get into that topic). Just dont try to change a partition that is mounted :+)
[17:04] <Maya> sin_tax: That page shows your internal Ip too.
[17:04] <maheanuu> I have been crashing around for the past 3 days trying to get the sound working on this Toshiba Laptop running only Ubuntu 10.04.4 64bit, I sure could use some help in troubleshooting the problem
[17:04] <sin_tax> Hopefully a reboot fixes my latest problem... /crossedfingers
[17:04] <grimeton> hi
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: is it ok in newer versions, like Precise?
[17:05] <grimeton> anyone in here using ubuntu on amd's abrazo?
[17:05] <Maya> maheanuu: Try: sudo alsa force-reload
[17:05] <maheanuu> I should say that it was working fine, until I opened Skype and then all hell broke loose now I cannot hear our use the mike on anything
[17:05] <Binsh> Weyho. Im getting a bit frustrated here. My ubuntu 12.04 crashes random while messing around with dash. The screen freeze, and then go black, then it comes back again, and so on.
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait 10 seconds then try some sound stuff
[17:06] <Dommer> ISSUE:  When listening to music on my nw 8000 laptop I plug in my headphones and go to sound settings to mute the speakers but cannot find the option to only have it stream to my hadphones.  Same result in terminal > alsamixer.  what do
[17:06] <Binsh> Is there anywhere i can look in the logs for errors?
[17:06] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Maya, I have no newer version, and will try a force reload and a killall
[17:06] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, I will be right back
[17:07] <splnet> Is this the right channel to ask about applets? I don't see an intuitive way to delete/add applets to unity. In my case there are 2 blueman applets.
[17:07] <user1_> need to monitor network bandwidth for each and every pc's, pls help me...
[17:07] <wawowe> Dommer: if you have multiple sound cards try hitting f6 in alsamixer
[17:07] <sin_tax> OK, I am 95% there - I have my partition auto-mounting and labeled properly, but when I go to unmount it, I get an error stating that only root can umount it.. I believe that I already did a chown to my username for the mount location, any ideas?
[17:08] <Dommer> wawowe only one.  Its a laptop :|
[17:08] <walbert> Hey guys - I have a slew (50+) of virtual machines on AWS, all of which have impossible-to-remember hosts.  On Windows, my solution for keeping them organized and accessible was a little script to keep SecureCRT's tree of available sessions up to date, using the descriptive names (not host names) of the instances themselves.  It seems like Ubuntu fits my work flow better in general, but I don't know of any good visual managers for r
[17:08] <walbert> emote hosts - and openssh config files don't really give me much in the way of being able to assign descriptive aliases.  Any ideas?
[17:08] <xangua> splnet: did you check that it is not repeated twice on the Startup preferences¿
[17:08] <wylde> sin_tax: you still require root access to mount/unmount partitions. Just prepend the command with sudo
[17:09] <jgharris> walbert: Landscape is available but its not free.
[17:09] <wawowe> Dommer: there should be a virtical bar in alsamixer with headphone under it
[17:09] <kiran-> Maya ActionParsnip how to get.. at the router seetings page? i have 2 routers. i cant get the ip of second one
[17:09] <sin_tax> wylde, well, with one of my NTFS partitions I can just do it via nautilus, but this one is throwing that error
[17:09] <wawowe> Dommer: if not then there may be an issue with the driver
[17:09] <Dommer> wawowe I know there _should be_, but it is not available
[17:09] <wawowe> Dommer: what kind of sound card does it have?
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: then look at the ip of your interfaces and you can probably guess the IP from that. If they have not been configured you'll probably find that both are 192.168.0.1 which will cause havok with routing
[17:10] <splnet> xangua: let me check that
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: if so, disconnect one wire and access the router
[17:10] <jgharris> walbet: Are you looking to do asset management?
[17:10] <wylde> sin_tax: did you try it with sudo? I believe nautilus use gvfs for mounting.
[17:10] <Dommer> intel 82801DB-ICH4
[17:10] <Brustofski-Fan> i can't find gtk+-2.0 glib-2.0 gthread-2.0 in the 12.04 repo
[17:10] <Dommer> intel 82801DB-ICH4 wawowe
[17:11] <kiran-> ActionParsnip how to trace route?
[17:11] <walbert> jgharris: not particularly, i just need ssh and sftp
[17:11] <chandru_in> how do I delete old data of incremental backups with duplicity?
[17:11] <hector> using multiple monitors, does anyone know how to remove the panel at the top from the screens other than the primary?
[17:11] <Dommer> kiran- zenmap is an applicatio for ip ping, trace route, whois, and more.  Good to look into.
[17:11] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Maya, I tried both with no results and AC I will post the res7
[17:11] <chandru_in> Say I have weekly scheduled backups but want to clean up all backup older than a week
[17:11] <lousygarua> ubuntu 12.04 - my min/max/close buttons are on the right side of the windows! all of the sudden! i know it's weird, but i want them back on the left side. does it have to do something with the gnome-settings-daemon?
[17:12] <jgharris> walbet: Should just need write a bash script then.
[17:12] <walbert> hector: it's in the "Displays" section of system settings, under Launcher placement
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: you'll need to install the tracerote package then the command is also traceroute, not tracert like in windows
[17:13] <walbert> jgharris: yeah, I was resigning to that, but figured I'd ask in here first
[17:13] <Captain_Proton> I am trying to install 12.04 on a ASUS desktop with a EFI bois I can get it to boot but when I try to install it there is no hardrive. I tried both IDE and SATA settings.
[17:13] <kiran-> ActionParsnip i think by that i can find my 2 ips|?
[17:13] <walbert> landscape looks interesting, but doesn't exactly fit the use case i've got in mind
[17:13] <jgharris> walbert: Hehe.
[17:14] <wawowe> Dommer: what is in alsamixer? master pcm etc
[17:14] <hector> hey walbert: it just shows one huge screen called "Laptop" even though its two desktop monitors =/
[17:14] <meraj> hi
[17:14] <__Alex_> Anyone experienced with Busybox, is there a way i can make ash use a startup script?
[17:14] <meraj> is there any one to help me?
[17:14] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Maya, I tried both and no joy here are the results of the action you asked for AC, http://paste.ubuntu.com/965068/
[17:15] <walbert> hector: I've got the same 'laptop' terminology faux pas, but it lets me choose between "Laptop", and "All Displays".  Choosing "Laptop" takes it off the auxilliary screens
[17:15] <hector> hmm, i'll try setting it to All first and then set it back to Laptop
[17:16] <hector> didnt work :(
[17:16] <wawowe> Dommer: also what does aplay -l say
[17:17] <walbert> hector: Don't know what to tell you :)  If it helps, I'm using the nvidia non-free drivers in a twinview configuration
[17:17] <meraj> hi
[17:17] <hector> thanks walbert :)
[17:17] <wawowe> meraj: what do you need help with?
[17:17] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Maya, this was a working system until I re-installed Skype then things took a turn for the worse and with my playing around I have seemed to make things intolerable here

[17:23] <ActionParsnip> jackjackw: I use lxde too, which uses openbox
[17:23] <jackjackw> lxde, ive never had a look at... worthwhile?
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: no, run it in a terminal and select to upload to the server
[17:23] <wawowe> meraj: you want to use both keyboards at the same time?

[17:34] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: Btw why you said that..?
[17:34] <zumodoki> Quick question.
[17:34] <bilegt> hello? if I install python3, my current version of python2, will be replaced?
[17:35] <zumodoki> Can I installed ubuntu 12 on a 4GB Flashh card?
[17:35] <meraj> wawoe: ok thanks lot
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | root
[17:35] <kesavan> bilegt"
[17:35] <kesavan> bilegt: no
[17:35] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: because the error says "dumb terminal"
[17:35] <steveccc> is there anything that can be done with a bad superblock on a disk when filesystem check comes back clean?
[17:35] <bilegt> kesavan: thanks
[17:36] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: ohh yes, I'm running via ssh..
[17:36] <kesavan> but you need to access the executable differently
[17:36] <tdlam> hello folks
[17:36] <meraj> caption_p:  ya tell me
[17:36] <jackjackw> okay: updated question - does anyone know why mod4 (win key) on my filco tenkeyless usb is not working on ubuntu in general?
[17:36] <linuxmonkey> lol ActionParsnip  we told him that like 4 times allready unless its a different root user
[17:36] <fidel_> !rootirc > root
[17:36] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: here is a little detailed stuff, what I'm doing…. http://pastie.org/3854915

[17:37] <L3top> CJKay1: can I get your lspci | grep VGA again?
[17:37] <tdlam> was wondering if you could tell me how to check what version of xubuntu I am running...is there a terminal command? thanks in advance

[17:37] <mcb_> tdlam: lsb_release -a
[17:38] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Yes and things are beautiful again, havent checked the mic, but that is next...   I would like to know if there is a way to master the terminal for troubleshootin and if there is a "learners guide/tutorial to learn from?
[17:38] <tdlam> thank you folks
[17:38] <jackjackw> usb filco keyboard's mod4(winkey) is not working at all ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[17:38] <L3top> Right... is this using bumblebee or your own assignment in xorg?
[17:38] <jackjackw> suggestions?
[17:38] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: sorry, I couldn't get the last-one…can you plz elaborate a little more..?
[17:38] <zumodoki> Can I install on 4GB Flashcard?

[17:38] <mohamed> Hello
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> jackjackw: does it make an event in xev?
[17:38] <richy17> my software center is crashed
[17:38] <oles> ubuntu 12.04 can boot only with acpi=off, is it possible to fix this problem?
[17:38] <tdlam> God bless you both that did it all the best and thank you again
[17:39] <julian> http://acid-wire.tk
[17:39] <oles> on my laptop
[17:39] <CJKay1> L3top: I used nvidia-xconfig to create the xorg.conf.nvidia file, which is what IronHide is reading to start its own X server
[17:39] <jackjackw> ActionParsnip : yes
[17:39] <CJKay1> L3top: I used to just download the previous pre-made ones that ironhide-configure offered, but now it just dies
[17:39] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: TERM=xterm apt-get install puppet
[17:39] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: type that
[17:39] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: it looks like it finished installing though, from that last paste, so you could just manually edit /etc/default/puppet
[17:39] <richy17> broadcom network card will not work with ubuntu
[17:40] <L3top> CJKay1: did you set the BUS ID?
[17:40] <CJKay1> L3top: Si
[17:40] <wylde> !broadcom | richy17
[17:40] <L3top> hmmm... I need to look up ironhide.
[17:40] <CJKay1> L3top: http://pastebin.com/tH2EmkHe
[17:41] <xskydevilx> Has anyone had problems with nVidia drivers and 12.04?
[17:41] <CJKay1> But like I said - it works, but I guess not... very stable
[17:41] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Oh hai
[17:41] <richy17> my ubuntu software centre crashed
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> richy17: wired or wireless?
[17:41] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: ok…I'll give a try..and tons of thanks :)
[17:41] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, So yes?
[17:41] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Yes
[17:41] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: What's the problem?
[17:42] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, Flickering at first and instability.
[17:42] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: TERM=xterm dpkg-reconfigure puppet
[17:42] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, Now it doesn't log into Unity 3D.
[17:42] <richy17> my ubuntu software centre is crashed i cannot install anything
[17:42] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Do you know if you're using the nouveau driver (default) or have you apt-get installed nvidia-current?
[17:42] <linuxmonkey> richy17:  does it give you an error
[17:42] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: okay
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | richy17
[17:43] <richy17> linuxmonkey: yes
[17:43] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, All working wonderfully, thank you again for the "rescue",
[17:43] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, I'm using the proprietary one.
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: i suggest a newer release, the newer libraries and drivers will help your system run smoother
[17:43] <ghabit> Hello. I'm looking for easy and gui DLNA server. Help me please ^)
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: that text I gave was on the sound troubleshooting procedure Ubuntu doc, it should have been your first thing to go to
[17:44] <richy17> my ubuntu software centre is crashed
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> richy17: yes, I gave you the fix
[17:45] <jackjackw> ActionParsnip, I dunno how you deal with them :>
[17:45] <oles> how can i use tex mode while installation?
[17:45] <oles> text
[17:45] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Could you give us the output of "lspci | grep VGA" and also the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (upload to pastebin.com, set syntax highlighting to Xorg config)
[17:46] <L3top> CJKay1: interesting read http://askubuntu.com/questions/108648/bumblebee-or-ironhide
[17:46] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, I can't get into the actually GUI at the moment, as I am using Windows to actually contact someone. Also, I just get a black screen when I try to boot it now.
[17:47] <yitz_> I got an Ubuntu server that's spamming the logs with messages about USB devices ... and I don't see any USB device plugged in. "new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 82" "usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71" "usb 2-1:350
[17:47] <yitz_> ... device not accepting address 62, error -71". Either there's a hidden USB device or a damaged usb controller (we had some water issues) or .. something. Any ideas? Any way to disable USB? I might just modprobe -r the usb stuff
[17:47] <bikbak> my terminal has been crashed
[17:47] <CJKay1> L3top: Odd, the repo is updated for precise so I presumed he was working on it
[17:47] <L3top> !nomodset
[17:47] <L3top> boo at my inability to use factoids
[17:48] <wylde> yitz_: if you don't need usb, see if you can disable usb entirely in your bios.
[17:48] <bikbak> my terminal crashed
[17:48] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Ah, that could be a problem. Reboot, choose the Ubuntu recovery mode option, and then select the failsafe graphics mode
[17:48] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: its giving this error: dpkg-preconfigure: unable to re-open stdin:
[17:48] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I ran this: conn.exec_command("\export TERM=xterm; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install puppet")
[17:48] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, will try in a few minutes.
[17:48] <yitz_> wylde: Oooh. Good idea. Will see if the BIOS offers that
[17:48] <wylde> bikbak/richy17: do you actually have a problem or are you just trolling?
[17:48] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: ignore slash
[17:48] <bikbak> problem
[17:48] <linuxmonkey> L3top: probably cayse its not a factoid in the database
[17:49] <CJKay1> L3top: Doesn't look like TBP has ben updated for ~4 months either :/
[17:49] <yitz_> 'sudo lsmod | grep -i usb' doesn't show anything that I can remove :(
[17:49] <CJKay1> I'll give it a go anyway
[17:49] <handydart> i cant remove ubuntu, i have install it with wubbi
[17:50] <wylde> bikbak/richy17/handydart: do you actually have a problem or are you just trolling?
[17:50] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: are you logged in with ssh or are you executing cmds without logging in?
[17:50] <freeball> does anyone know why in 12.04 encryptfs-utils is missing and apt-get install says package cannot be found
[17:50] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I'm running this ssh-commands via script..and thats why I can't afford dpkg-reconfigure
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> !find encryptfs
[17:50] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I'm logged-in with ssh
[17:50] <linuxmonkey> !factoid > L3top
[17:51] <sepr> hey I got this problem, i'm trying to add an openvpn to my ubuntu installation (installed openvpn etc already) but everytime I want to select a certificate for the connection it doesn't show up :/ (so I click on the drop down to select one, it makes me search for it in the filesystem, I go to the directory where the cert is but it seems to be "hidden", even when I enable to see hidden files)
[17:51] <sepr> can somebody help me?
[17:51] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: like a php script?
[17:51] <v1z_> hey
[17:51] <v1z_> dist-upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 finished
[17:51] <v1z_> but 12.04 wont boot
[17:51] <v1z_> all I get is a gray screen
[17:51] <FloodBot1> v1z_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:51] <abhinavmehta> yes, kind of…actually its a python script.
[17:51] <wylde> !enter | v1z_
[17:51] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: any reason you can't run them without the script?
[17:51] <v1z_> sorry. typing from mobile.
[17:52] <Greenwhirl> Ok, so...
[17:52] <Greenwhirl> I'm trying to install Ubuntu
[17:52] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: script is what..I'm trying to build.
[17:52] <Greenwhirl> but my main hard drive isn't showing up in the installer
[17:52] <Greenwhirl> only the thumb drive that I'm running ubuntu from
[17:52] <linuxmonkey> !enter | Greenwhirl
[17:52] <balachmar> Hi, can someone help me fix my grub2? After reboot it dropped to grub rescue.
[17:52] <sepr> is there anyone who can help me?
[17:52] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I'm writing a simple python app..which can handle different cloud-vendors with single python-app.
[17:53] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: so, point is don't want a solution to fix this manually
[17:53] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: manually..I've already fixed this….but with ssh, I'm getting stuccoed.
[17:54] <jackjackw> okay so my mod4 key also works in unity2d ActionParsnip
[17:54]  * v1z_ upgraded 11.10 -> 12.04 wont boot, all I get is a grayish screen. is dist upgrade really this useless?
[17:54] <balachmar> \j #btrfs
[17:54] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: you could avoid using dpkg-preconfigure
[17:54] <jackjackw> so its defo a fluxbox issue methinks
[17:54] <Greenwhirl> Help?
[17:55] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: how..?
[17:55] <v1z_> going for a fresh install. thats ubuntu culture anyways. no upgrades  they say ...
[17:55] <patson> hi.. I'd like to know how to run the installer (ubiquity) in textmode (I have the desktop 32 bit .iso as a bootable USB  stick)
[17:56] <freeball> ok I wasnt typing in the correct package name :o
[17:56] <patson> for some reason, the graphical installer crashes right after I enter the user details
[17:56] <fidel_> patson: using some kind of special chars?
[17:56] <patson> syslog leads me to think that some value doesn't get passed correctly
[17:56] <patson> nope
[17:56] <wylde> patson: get the alternate iso for text based install
[17:56] <patson> wylde: dammit
[17:56] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: i'm not sure if apt-get has an option to do that, but it does have an option to download only
[17:56] <patson> guess I have to
[17:57] <wylde> patson: yeah basically, afaik
[17:57] <wyt> hello everyone
[17:57] <v1z_> conclusion: avoid dist-upgrade; install 12.04  fresh.
[17:57] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: so you could use apt-get "download only" and a script to install the downloaded debs with dpkg
[17:58] <wylde> v1z_:  do-release-upgrade?
[17:58] <wyt> i'm having a basic navigation issue within terminal. could someone help me?
[17:58] <fidel_> !ask | wyt
[17:58] <v1z_> wylde: what?
[17:58] <wylde> v1z_: I upgraded my server, had a few fixes to do afterwards but it's working quite well.
[17:58] <balachmar> Hi, can someone help me fix my grub2? After reboot it dropped to grub rescue.
[17:58] <myFriend> how to repair my laptop is not working
[17:58] <Dr_willis_> !fixgrub
[17:58] <wylde> v1z_: to upgrade to 12.04, you can use do-release-upgrade
[17:59] <wyt> every time i type "cd" and a directory it says "no such file or directory
[17:59] <myFriend> i tried to upgrade ubuntu 12.04 now i see a screen for asking to boot, it is the grub
[17:59] <freeball> someone should make a utility that compiles a list of nondefault software installed and tarballs your home directory for install fresh installing
[17:59] <myFriend> but none of the options make it work
[17:59] <myFriend> it always come back to the same screen over and over
[17:59] <fidel_> wyt: are you used to 'pwd' and 'ls'?
[17:59] <Dr_willis_> wyt,  You are using the proper name? CASE is imporntant... use the TAB key to auto-complete names
[17:59] <myFriend> what should I try?
[17:59] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: for installing that way, I've to build the source..and for that I'll need build-essentials etc….and I want to avoid installing build-essentials, coz target node will be a production node..and build-essentials may bring security-holes..
[17:59] <linuxmonkey> !enter | myFriend
[17:59] <CJKay1> L3top: Installed bumblee from git, will report back after restart
[18:00] <v1z_> wylde: ok but I cant even boot; do-release-upgrade after I already did a dist upgrade? (I did an upgrade to 12.04 from update-manager gui
[18:00] <wyt> im used to cd and dir like with DOS
[18:00] <ghabit> sorry for question repeating, was in reboot. Looking for DLNA server, advise me please.
[18:00] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: and team has decided already…not to build source on target machines.
[18:00] <wyt> proper name? im pretty sure i am
[18:00] <myFriend> I just run the memtest now
[18:00] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: you wouldn't need source
[18:00] <Dr_willis_> wyt,  'Case is imporntant - lesson #1'   Downloads is NOT the same as downloads
[18:00] <wylde> v1z_: ahh alrighty, sorry I missed that. I have a few things going on here atm.
[18:00] <fidel_> wyt: 'pwd' outputs the current directory
[18:00] <fidel_> wyt: 'ls' shows the content of the current dir
[18:00] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: just apt-get -d $DEB; dpkg -i $DEB
[18:00] <lousygarua> found my answer here http://askubuntu.com/questions/124015/window-controls-moved-to-right-hand-side#_=_
[18:01] <Dr_willis_> wyt,  when in doubt use the tab key to auto complete names and paths. its worth while to read a few bash guides.
[18:01] <fidel_> wyt: try those in combination with tab-completion while typing
[18:01] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: okay…I'll re-try with this. thnx again :)
[18:02] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: something like that, but the issue is you'll have to manually configure anything that used dpkg-preconfigure
[18:02] <wyt> thanks :)
[18:02] <Dr_willis_> !bash | wyt
[18:03] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: hmm…but that's not a problem for me…but thanks for pointing.
[18:03] <CJKay> L3top: Bumblee is a success, although whether it is any more stable than Ironhide... I don't know
[18:03] <v1z_> wylde: tx. almost everyone installs ubuntu ditro upgrades fresh anyways. i was being adventurous
[18:03] <abdel> can any1 help me, im having issues trying to install ubuntu 12.04
[18:03] <dbtmro> Hi. I've got a strange problem. My burner detects only dvd-rw; it doesn't detect cd-rw. Please help. Thank you.
[18:03] <Resistance> !details | abdel
[18:04] <CJKay> L3top: So I'm still stuck with this strange lightdm thing though. Whenever I want to log in, I have to switch to tty1, stop the lightdm service, start gdm and log in with that
[18:04] <CJKay> It works perfectly fine with guest though :S
[18:04] <wylde> v1z_: so was I why I upgraded my server. I even did it using a the 12.04 server iso on a live usb :)
[18:04] <SafariMonkey> jgharris, are you there? could you clarify how to use clamav?
[18:04] <Dr_willis_> CJKay,  i have a similer issue. I just set it to use GDM by default for now.
[18:04] <L3top> That I have not come across CJKay... perhaps someone else has some insight
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> SafariMonkey: the clamav ubuntu page has a lot of usefulness
[18:05] <Dr_willis_> CJKay,  all desktops fail to load with lightdm. gdm - they all work.
[18:05] <myFriend> me too can someone please help me repair my ubuntu 12.04 upgrade?
[18:05] <abdel> ok, im trying to install ubuntu 12.04 from a usb but when the screen with the options to install it its supposed to appear instead a bunch of lines and dots appears, as if the screen was broken. I tried ubuntu 10,10 and the same happens
[18:05] <CJKay> Dr_willis_, L3top: I'll have a quick Google
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> myFriend: try:  sudo apt-get -f install
[18:05] <Dr_willis_> !nomodeset | abdel
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> abdel: what video chip do you use?
[18:05] <abdel> i have a laptop, lenovo ideapad
[18:06] <SafariMonkey> ActionParsnip, it was recommended to me to identify adware on my computer. All I can find is about server use etc...
[18:06] <dbtmro> Hi. I've got a strange problem on Ubuntu 12.04 x64. My burner detects only dvd-rw; it doesn't detect cd-rw. Please help. Thank you.
[18:07] <L3top> linuxmonkey: see that is what confuses me... I was sure it was there... <L3top> !nomodset  no go... <Dr_willis_> !nomodeset | abdel goes...
[18:07] <WeThePeople> what is the command to check what sound card i am using
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> dbtmro: if you run  sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive    do you see:  /dev/cdrw
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: sudo lshw -C sound
[18:07] <dbtmro> let me try.
[18:07] <B|tchX> !welcome
[18:07] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, thankyou
[18:07] <v1z_> abdel: sometimes you have to install plugging a monitor to the laptop, but when ubuntu boots normally after instlled it will work with your laptop lcd
[18:07] <B|tchX> How do I get to the banner?
[18:08] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: still getting this error http://pastie.org/3855060
[18:08] <ezoe> I think this new HUD is not bad. the problem is, I tend to forget the existence.
[18:09] <ezoe> and use traditional menu even though HUD takes less time to access nested menu entry.
[18:09] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I guess, its looking for console to output…and not getting that..that's why giving this error..right..?
[18:09] <myFriend> ActionParsnip: i try to enter console to enter install command however i cannot get there
[18:09] <myFriend> i tried dpkg on recover mode but get weird errors
[18:09] <myFriend> what option should i try?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> myFriend: press CTRL+ALT+T
[18:09] <myFriend> oh thanks
[18:10] <abdel> but how can i add the nomodeset to the usb, i cant even see the splash screen
[18:10] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: yes
[18:10] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: and if I'm correct, than that's why I tried this too: http://pastie.org/3855069
[18:10] <abdel> all i see is the broken screen
[18:10] <explorer_> hai guys, I'am new to linux and I setup a local wifi network. now I created my own webpage in /var/www/index.html with ip 192.168.1.1 and I want to use it from 192.168.1.2 but I cant able to use the localhost server in 192.168.1.1
[18:10] <B|tchX> ubottu gave it to me thanks: /msg ubottu rules
[18:10] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: but didn't worked for me..:(
[18:10] <B|tchX> ubottu got jokes
[18:11] <mukwenhac> hi guys, is there an irc client that runs in the terminal?
[18:11] <fidel_> mukwenhac: irssi
[18:11] <myFriend> ActionParsnip: I am on the console root but it gives me not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock, but dpkg no matter how i run it it will be the same
[18:11] <dbtmro> help please
[18:11] <lcie> anyone able to install 12.04 server inside vmware?
[18:11] <myFriend> dbtmro: upgrade ubuntu?
[18:11] <dbtmro> no
[18:11] <dbtmro> fresh install
[18:11] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: so any further pointers...?
[18:11] <SunTsu> mukwenhac: lots of. irssi, bitchx, epic2, although you probably want to use irssi
[18:11] <fidel_> mukwenhac: consider using it in a 'screen'
[18:12] <myFriend> ActionParsnip: the ctrl+alt +T is done when or where?
[18:12] <jbwiv> guys, at one time I used xinerama, so only Ubuntu 2d was supported. However, I've recently switched to an AMD card which supports my three monitors with compositing, so Gnome 3 is working well. I want to try Unity, but it no longer shows up in my lightdm menu...only Unity2d. How can I get Unity to show up again?
[18:12] <shymega> fidel_: Yeah, screen is great for this.
[18:12] <B|tchX> !tor
[18:12] <mukwenhac> fidel, why?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> myFriend: run the command ubottu gave...

[18:12] <fidel_> mukwenhac: well - at least if you have the option to let it run permanently on a server and just connect to it in case you want to use it

[18:21] <Phoenixz> Hello there, is there somy very very bad bug going on at the moment that completely disrupts network on the KDE / GNome level? Since yesterday night on 4 different computers (Both Kubuntu and Ubuntu) WIFI and cabled network has failed.. Cabled networks it says that there is no cable connected, wifi just hangs in setting network address.. A manual ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask etc etc., route add default gw, and setting /etc/resolv.conf makes
[18:21] <Phoenixz> internet accessible again though
[18:21] <kaned> Has anyone seen this before?  I thought it was...interesting: https://goput.it/nyg.png (Gparted error)
[18:22] <Dr_willis_> abdel,  the alternative cd uses a text based installer.
[18:22] <Phoenixz> Even after that, KDE just keeps telling me that there is no cable connected
[18:22] <myFriend>  it says here mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14` not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2)
[18:22] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: still having http://pastie.org/3855119
[18:22] <abdel> ohh, yes i have the alt 64bit one
[18:22] <myFriend> i guess if none of this works i rather inject the usb live and try to fix it from the right?
[18:22] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: it is actually installing though, right?
[18:22] <ghabit> Help  - looking for DLNA server. GUI based and easy-to-use.
[18:22] <bdelin> hello, is it possible to view a log of commands used over ssh
[18:22] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: yes..
[18:22] <abdel> so, do i download the "regular one"
[18:22] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: despite the error
[18:23] <bdelin> my server was hijacked
[18:23] <Tiktalik> Oh god
[18:23] <CJKay> L3top: Removing .Xauthority seems to have done the lightdm trick. Thanks for all the help - glad I can finally get back to what I was doing heh
[18:23] <Tiktalik> I suggest you never ever sudo apt-get autoremove
[18:23] <Phoenixz> This happens on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, by the way
[18:23] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: but I want get rid of this error
[18:23] <Tiktalik> It broke a ton of shit
[18:23] <soa2ii> Hi. What's the recommended way to manage your software? apt-get or aptitude? The official server doc doesn't say … I just installed a 12.04 server.
[18:23] <SafariMonkey> any other stuff to try (I have banners on all flash content, including youtube and local files)
[18:23] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: well in your specific case it's more like a warning
[18:23] <Tiktalik> just use apt-get soa2ii
[18:23] <soa2ii> Tiktalik: Why?
[18:23] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: coz that single error brings by cluster-down…coz in my script if anything goes wrong…my whole cluster gets rollback
[18:24] <Tiktalik> soa2ii: because just about everyone uses it
[18:24] <soa2ii> Tiktalik: Yeah … that makes sense …
[18:24] <myFriend> how to fix a current install from a live USB
[18:25] <wylde> ghabit: I use mediatomb. The interface for adding files/directories is in a "web interface", but the actual configuration is in an ummm .xml file in /etc/mediatomb.
[18:25] <Dr_willis_> ive rarely had issues with apt-get autoremove, but the pacakge system can get broken/confused.. thats why it asks befor it removes.
[18:25] <Johnny> myFriend depends, how is your system broken?
[18:26] <Tiktalik> it emoved essential packages for my video driver, Dr_willis_
[18:26] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: that error shouldn't stop your script
[18:26] <L3top> Tiktalik: it is unlikely that that was the source of whatever broke anything... it just deletes the source packages, not their installs
[18:26] <myFriend> hi Johnny
[18:26] <myFriend> well i just booted from the USB
[18:26] <L3top> and only deletes those packages that it does not believe are installed
[18:26] <myFriend> the system was broken in an upgrade step
[18:27] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: because nothing is actually breaking
[18:27] <Johnny> myFriend have you tried running the fixbuntu script?
[18:27] <myFriend> Johnny to ubuntu 12.04, i tried several things on recovery mode pdkg fsck none worked
[18:27] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: that error doesn't stops my script directly…but there is a rule in script that if anything is there in stderr-stream…than consider something went wrong, and rollback everything
[18:27] <myFriend> what is that script?
[18:27] <myFriend> where is that located Johnny?
[18:27] <Dr_willis_> Tiktalik,  so? ;)
[18:27] <Phoenixz> Anybody knows anything about some current Ubuntu bug that makes multiple computers loose network on GNome / KDE level? Network can be configured manually on command line, but in KDE / GNome its basically dead... ? Since yesterda I have multiple computers showing this very same problem, all independantly..
[18:27] <Johnny> myFriend http://freenodewatch.org/fix-ubuntu
[18:27] <Phoenixz> s/loose/lose
[18:28] <L3top> your system does not run on .debs... which is what it removes, again, if it does not believe that you are using them.
[18:28] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: could try to hide the error with: apt-get install puppet 2>/dev/null
[18:28] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: hmmm…its like adding exception for this command. :)
[18:28] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: yeah..you have a good point :)
[18:28] <Tiktalik> L3top, it deleted nvidia-cg-toolkit
[18:28] <L3top> *.deb perhaps.
[18:29] <L3top> It also would have updated the Packages.gz file, and if you needed it for something else it would have been downloaded again to satisfy the dependency
[18:31] <robgraves1> hello
[18:31] <myFriend> guys is  http://freenodewatch.org/fix-ubuntu a good script?
[18:31] <myFriend> or a baddy one?
[18:32] <Resistance> myFriend, might I ask you why you would trust a random script?
[18:33] <m4v> "fix-ubuntu" is a bit ambiguos, and is... 600kb big? I wouldn't touch it.
[18:33] <myFriend> Resistance: i am trying to fix my ubuntu
[18:33] <plouffe> I'm on xubuntu 10.04, still haven't got the option to upgrade to 12.04 in update manager. Any ideas why?
[18:33] <Resistance> myFriend, i would not trust random scripts
[18:34] <myFriend> yeah Johnny what makes you think this is a good script?
[18:34] <dannel> it's a binary not a script, so.. even worse from a trust perspective
[18:34] <myFriend> Johnny: recommended it to me
[18:34] <Resistance> myFriend, rather, just ask here about what your problem is and perhaps we can help
[18:34] <myFriend> yeah Johnny contacted me in private I guess i am not sure
[18:34] <myFriend> thought he was just trying to help but this script does not look good
[18:35] <myFriend> Johnny: can you back up your sources why this script could be helpful
[18:35] <myFriend> where did you find pointers to this?
[18:35] <Resistance> myFriend, don't trust random privmsgs
[18:35] <Resistance> its an IT Security recommendation, not a random recommendation, that.
[18:35] <ghabit> wylde, how to switch on web interface of mediatomb?
[18:35] <myFriend> yeah i will not, ok so i am left with my problem
[18:35] <Resistance> myFriend, provide details here, perhaps we can help
[18:35] <myFriend> broken ubuntu upgrade and now on USB try terminal
[18:35] <wylde> ghabit: http://localhost:49152
[18:35] <myFriend> what do i run?
[18:35] <Resistance> broken how?
[18:36] <wylde> ghabit:  assuming you installed it on the machine you're using
[18:36] <ryeth> what's up everyone
[18:36] <myFriend> thanks Resistance, yeah so when i boot i get the options for recovery and i have tried dpkg, fsck, and all failed and i tried what the command suggested but also could not get ubuntu back up
[18:36] <L3top> I am incorrect Tiktalik.
[18:36] <Resistance> myFriend, what error(s) is it giving you?
[18:36] <myFriend> so i am trying now to rescue it from the usb live try install, i am on the ubuntu live, now what should i try?
[18:37] <faLUCE> hi, I can't hear audio anymore, on 11.10. From what can I start in order to solve=
[18:37] <faLUCE> ?
[18:37] <myFriend> Resistance: error on which command, when booting?
[18:37] <Resistance> mhm
[18:37] <mcb_> plouffe: Go to "update manager"  -> "Configuration" buttom --> Notify me of new versions of Ubuntu"
[18:37] <L3top> I misunderstood its function. It actually does uninstall that which it believes only to have been installed as a dependency and no longer necessary.
[18:37] <myFriend> EvilResistance: let me fetch them from the logs
[18:38] <EvilResistance> myFriend,  use a pastebin if its multiline
[18:38] <EvilResistance> !pastebin | myFriend
[18:38] <plouffe> mcb_, already did that
[18:38] <mcb_> plouffe: And what is configured in that?
[18:38] <plouffe> mcb_, set it to notify of lts releases
[18:38] <myFriend> myFriend 01:22:14 PM
[18:38] <myFriend>  it says here mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14` not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2)
[18:39] <ghabit> wylde, is it ok so much questions? Trying open videos on my tv, but it cannot play the videofiles.
[18:39] <mcb_> plouffe: You can also run "do-release-upgrade" by the CLI.
[18:39] <myFriend>  it says here mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14` not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2)
[18:39] <plouffe> mcb_, thanks, will that upgrade to 10.11 or 12.04
[18:39] <Tiktalik> Niice
[18:39] <plouffe> 10.10 I mean
[18:39] <Tiktalik> I got SSBM working finally
[18:40] <wylde> ghabit: no problem I'll help as much as I can. What make/model tv is it? Some hardware requires some configuration in the /etc/mediatomd/config.xml file.
[18:40] <mcb_> plouffe: If you are really configured to be notified only of LTS version it should put you on 12.04
[18:40] <wylde> mediatomb*
[18:40] <plouffe> mcb_, thanks
[18:40] <d0gmaz> i got this weird problem (probably something noobish) when i startup ubuntu my monitor stays black. But if i first start emergency and drop into root console and reboot the system everything everything runs fine...anyone got a clue?
[18:40] <mcb_> plouffe: But as i recall, it will tell you beforehand to what version it will try to upgrade.
[18:40] <gameid> plouffe: I got told that direct update is not possible until 12.04.1 which is probably also why it is not offered in update manager
[18:41] <mcb_> gameid: I had an 11.10 and i was notified to upgrade to 12.04.......
[18:41] <plouffe> gameid, hmm so only option to wait
[18:41] <gameid> mcb_: yeah but that's not lts
[18:42] <mcb_> gameid: Should be the same to 10.04 that was LTS...
[18:42] <gameid> plouffe: you can upgrade in steps
[18:42] <plouffe> gameid, yea, no
[18:42] <cookiemon5ter> is jre not available in ubuntu repos
[18:43] <cookiemon5ter> the regular one from java
[18:43] <Pici> gameid: You can choose to use do-release-upgrade -d if you'd really like to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04. but it won't be offered automatically until 12.04.1 is released.
[18:43] <Pici> plouffe: ^
[18:43] <plouffe> Pici, thanks
[18:43] <gameid> Pici: right, good to know
[18:45] <L3top> cookiemon5ter: you mean the one from Sun? No. You have to go there to get the official.

[18:46] <drake01> Hi guys, I am using uxterm terminal emulator. The uxterm shows any string quoted by letter 'd' instead of quotes e.g. In function 'main': is displayed as In function dmaind:  Help please
[18:46] <graft> drake01: wow that's a weird one.
[18:47] <d0gmaz> i got this weird problem (probably something noobish) when i startup ubuntu my monitor stays black. But if i first start emergency and drop into root console and reboot the system everything everything runs fine..so everytime i want to use ubuntu i first have to boot to emergency and reboot. anyone got an idea?
[18:47] <drake01> graft:  Only compiler messages or man pages shows this behaviour afaik..
[18:47] <cookiemon5ter> L3top, I think it is Oracle
[18:47] <DanielConvissor> just came across this change in 12.04, sharing for those who didn't see...  for static ip config, put dns server info in /etc/network/interfaces.  no longer goes in /etc/resolv.conf.
[18:47] <graft> does anyone know how to rename a LUKS-encrypted ext4 filesystem so that it mounts to something like /media/nice_name instead of /media/uuid-blargharblarghl?
[18:47] <graft> drake01: what's your pager?
[18:47] <DanielConvissor> graft: yes, gimme a sec
[18:47] <jeel> help me how install vpn on ubuntu

[18:48] <jeel> thanks
[18:48] <madsj> hi; I keep getting http://pastebin.com/MVgjHedt errors; how do I fix those?
[18:49] <DanielConvissor> graft: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 d && mkfs -t ext3 -L d /dev/mapper/d
[18:49] <ryeth> what do you folks think is better to do?  install ubuntu on a virtual pc or dual boot computer?
[18:50] <L3top> Yes... sorry... cookiemon5ter... very bad about those sorts of things.
[18:50] <graft> DanielConvissor: aha neat
[18:50] <DanielConvissor> graft: (assuming you have a dir named "/d" to serve as mount point already)
[18:50] <Dr_willis_> ryeth,  totally depends on what work you want to do with the install.
[18:51] <Dr_willis_> graft,  set the Label on the filesystem, it will use that instead of the UUID
[18:51] <Dr_willis_> graft,  using the tune2fs command.
[18:51] <RavenHursT> Need some help..
[18:52] <DanielConvissor> let me reask a question from earlier today, perhaps someone around now knows...
[18:52] <DanielConvissor> figured out how to enable automatic reboot for unattended upgrades.  but when the reboot happens, it's immediate.  is there a way to make the reboot wait x minutes?
[18:53] <RavenHursT> I upgraded to 12.04 LTE lately.. only to find that I can't get the Unity sidebar launcher to auto hide when I maximize a window... I'm running Ubuntu in a VirtualBox VM in fullscreen mode.. it worked in 11.04.. but now, even after I go in an turn on auto hide.. it just hides it and it won't come back... help!
[18:53] <bluj> how do i move locked programs on the dock (12.04)? it just slides the whole bar (e.g. all icons)
[18:53] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  that setting has been changed. I recall the webupd8 blog site had a guide on getting that feature back.
[18:54] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  i always set mine to never hide. and just shrunk the icon size.
[18:54] <graft> DanielConvissor: that did it, along with e2label, thanks
[18:54] <RavenHursT> Dr_willis_: any idea what the article was called?
[18:55] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  webupd8 has a serach feature. :) and a big post on 'things to do after installing 12.04....' on the main header/baner.
[18:55] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  also the OMGubuntu! site may have a guide/howto on it.
[18:56] <RavenHursT> Dr_willis_: yeah.. just scrolled through that.. saw a lot about using "tweaks" to change the look and behavior of the unity bar.. but nothing in there around actually just getting it to show/hide again
[18:57] <trism> RavenHursT: bug 930148 has links to several articles
[18:57] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  i just used the 'hidden' setting in 'Myunity' and my left side bar now autohides/returns for me..
[18:57] <ipauldev> I realize that this isn't "ubuntu" specific, but I thought I'd ask. I'm trying to use rrdtool, it works fine locally, but when trying to do anything on a smfs mount, it raises error: 'mytest.rrd' is too small (should be 63254816 bytes)... any ideas on how I might troubleshoot?
[18:57] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  you are using unity3d and not unity2d?
[18:57] <myFriend> wow Johnny was a hacker
[18:57] <RavenHursT> Dr_willis_: how can I tell? lol
[18:57] <myFriend> ok i am back with my ubuntu problem
[18:57] <Kaco> evening
[18:57] <myFriend> anyone trustworthy can help me?
[18:58] <taxman> myFriend, Johnny walker?
[18:58] <sasha1> Hi, what's the best way to create a usb installer for Ubuntu 12.04? My OS is Debian.
[18:59] <Fyodorovna> sasha1, no best really but unetbootin is popular
[18:59] <sasha1> Perhaps I can just use dd?
[19:00] <Fyodorovna> sasha1, I believe you can with 12.04
[19:00] <meganerd> sasha1: if you knew what you were doing dd could be useful
[19:00] <sasha1> Ok. Good, thanks
[19:00] <rowley> sasha1, what about the bootloader?
[19:00] <madsj> whenever I run "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade", parts of the output looks http://pastebin.com/MVgjHedt I'd highly appreciate tips on how to solve this
[19:00] <meganerd> sasha1: but you would end up with something not optimised for flash
[19:00] <madsj> "sudo apt-get install -f" does not help
[19:01] <madsj> neither does "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a"
[19:01] <linuxmonkey> steps to create it on ubuntu could be similar on Debian http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[19:02] <Fyodorovna> madsj, you getting a partial upgrade offer in the manager?
[19:02] <Dr_willis_> You can dd or cat the ubuntu ISO file to a flash drive and get a bootable usb that way.  the Pendrivelinux web site has some nicer tools to do the job however.
[19:02] <francesco_> hi °°b
[19:03] <taxman> there is a built-in "Startup Disk Creator" in 12.04
[19:03] <RavenHursT> Dr_willis_: how can I tell which unity I'm using (2D or 3D)?
[19:04] <bcuraboy> hi guys.i would like to add info of the music i'm listening on guayadeque or on other player to my conky config..how can i do that?
[19:05] <Fyodorovna> RavenHursT, by your choice of ubuntu or ubuntu 2d at the login with the dropdown gear.
[19:05] <d0gmaz> plz anyone when i start up ubuntu from grub my screen stays black but when i go to the emergency kernel and reboot and startup my normal kernel it works! what could that be i dont whant to boot twice to startup normally...
[19:05] <RavenHursT> ok.. wtf?  I installed MyUnity and clicked to start it... it's sitting in the launcher, but no window ever came up
[19:05] <myFriend> if i do a reinstall from the usb install will it keep my data?
[19:05] <myFriend> http://askubuntu.com/questions/127065/did-my-upgrade-from-11-10-to-12-04-fail
[19:06] <Stormx2> Hey all. ssh stopped working today. putting it into verbose mode, I see the last line is "debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 279" and then it hangs. This affects multiple servers that I know to be up - others can SSH into em.
[19:07] <RavenHursT> ok.. I'm on Unity 3D but 1) still can't get the sidebar to show up w/o hitting my "start" key on my keyboard and 2) MyUnity won't open
[19:07] <Fyodorovna> myFriend, is that you on the link?
[19:07] <SunTsu> Stormx2: what didi you put in debug mode? client or server?
[19:07] <myFriend> no
[19:07] <madsj> Fyodorovna: yes, but that doesn't help either
[19:07] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, is your home folder on a separate partion
[19:07] <Stormx2> SunTsu, client. Just passed  it -v
[19:07] <myFriend> Captain let me check i don't think so
[19:07] <madsj> I deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info/emacs* because I had trouble with emacs
[19:07] <myFriend> no all is on one folder
[19:07] <SunTsu> Stormx2: Debugging from the client won't help
[19:07] <Fyodorovna> madsj, I was not speaking to you and welcome to my ignore. :)
[19:07] <myFriend> what can i do now? should i lost all my data?
[19:08] <myFriend> i wish to just fix this current install
[19:08] <myFriend> but how to do it?
[19:08] <myFriend> ii have been forever trying to ask here :'(
[19:08] <Stormx2> SunTsu, it won't? But it's surely a client-side issue
[19:09] <genger> is there a way to make the  notification appear on both screens ?
[19:09] <Fyodorovna> myFriend, If me I would back up what you need before doing anything. Pdersonally I would just fresh install but I save reinstall lists and other processes to speed installs.
[19:09] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, then no if you install from usb or cd it will be over written. what I would do is logout then hit ctrl+alt then f2
[19:09] <SunTsu> Stormx2: how do you know that it's client related and not server?
[19:09] <WoosterB2> When Ubuntu is booting on an EFI Mac, does it depend on EFI initially to display graphics?
[19:10] <Stormx2> SunTsu, 3 different servers, friends can SSH into em
[19:10] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, that will drop you to a command line then run sudo apt-get update then your pgrade-manager -d
[19:10] <_nedR> does anyone know how to change alt+tab and alt+~ behaviour on 12.04..
[19:10] <Captain_Proton> upgrade-manager -d
[19:10] <SunTsu> Stormx2: then use more -v
[19:10] <Stormx2> One is a totally different machine running in another datacentre on another continent
[19:10] <Stormx2> SunTsu, OK
[19:10] <RavenHursT> Anyone have any ideas?
[19:10] <SunTsu> Stormx2: pastey the result to the server in topic
[19:11] <schultza> i am trying to set up a network share (smb) from linux (server) to windows (client)... i am having problems logging in with my linux credentials (and they are correct)
[19:11] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, since the desktop is not running it should go though fine
[19:11] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: ok i ran that
[19:12] <myFriend> i got some errors though could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock -- open permission denied
[19:12] <Stormx2> SunTsu, oh weird. I think ssh-agent is stuck in an I/O wait as I can't even kill -9 it :o
[19:12] <Captain_Proton> schultza, did you create a samba user? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/adding-a-user-to-a-samba-smb-share/
[19:12] <RavenHursT> Anyone know what the process for myunity looks like?
[19:12] <RavenHursT> I'm trying to kill it..
[19:12] <RavenHursT> see if I can't open it again
[19:12] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, you need to add sudo
[19:12] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, before any command
[19:12] <SunTsu> Stormx2: run a different one
[19:13] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, my fault did not added that to command
[19:13] <dale> What is a zombie process, and how can I find/kill it ?
[19:14] <antonio_> hello i installed gimp 2.8 and I need to find it's brushes folder on 12.04, i used ~/.Gimp-2.8/brushes and nautilus command   and all i get is "No such file or directory" : /
[19:14]  * tommylommykins waves
[19:14] <SunTsu> dale: a prozess that "died" i.e. ended and hangs around to return it's status to it's parent process - which apparently didn't wait() for it
[19:14] <SunTsu> dale: and "what's dead can never die" ;)
[19:14] <jrib> antonio_: why do you need to find its folder for brushes?
[19:14] <dale> So it's nothing to worry about then?
[19:14]  * tommylommykins wonders where the best place to put a script that 1) needs root permissions 2) runs on startup 3) runs as long as the system is up is
[19:14] <tommylommykins> rc.local?
[19:15] <zackiv31> pulseaudio just blew my eardrums out... ow.
[19:15] <crack> hi guys, i have one small problem on updating wxWidget 2.9.3 lib http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Installing_and_configuring_under_Ubuntu guide to install it. I am stacking on second phase. I dont know what to write in ubuntu version, nothing works... I am using ubuntu 12.04LTS
[19:15] <tommylommykins> Or do scripts have to terminate quickly if you put them in rc.local?
[19:15] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: i get command line warning `dbus-launch --autolaunch=# --binary-syntax --close-std-err exited with non zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error  X11 initialization failed.
[19:15] <SunTsu> dale: nope
[19:15] <antonio_> jrib: i need to add some stuff from gimp paint studio
[19:15] <graft> tommylommykins: isn't this what init is for?
[19:15] <jrib> tommylommykins: rc.local is fine.  You could also just use @reboot in root's crontab or create a proper upstart script
[19:15] <schultza> why does linux not set up users on install?
[19:15] <genger> does anyone know how to get ttys back ?
[19:16] <tommylommykins> hmm, ok :)
[19:16] <craigbass1976> I can chroot to a separate drive, but anyone know how I can back up some mysql databases from there?  Or, is there a file I can just grab?
[19:16] <myFriend> also before i got reading package lists .... Done W: Duplicate sources.list entry cdrom://Ubunutu 12:04 LTS precise .... i386 packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/Ubuntu....)
[19:16] <JonEdney> Is there a way to install Apache 2.2.22 and PHP 5.3.10 on 11.10?  My host isn't able to accomadate 12.04 on my VPS yet.
[19:16] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: hmm
[19:16] <craigbass1976> schultza, it doesn't?  It sets up at least one
[19:16] <jrib> antonio_: if you're sure that's the right path, you can create it
[19:17] <antonio_> jrib: strange thing is "nautilus gimp" command can't find it and it's installed ?
[19:18] <jrib> antonio_: can't find what?
[19:18] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: what else can i try
[19:18] <myFriend> hmm
[19:18] <antonio_> jrib: gimp ?
[19:18] <_nedR> RavenHursT, killing gbr2 seems to do the trick ..though am not sure what really gbr2 does... see man gbr2
[19:19] <bob__> when trying to test 12.04 from cd no launcher, whats up?
[19:19] <RavenHursT> Man I wish I could figure out why my unity bar won't freakin' hide and show
[19:19] <jrib> antonio_: nautilus accepts a URI as an argument, not sure what you expect to happen by just passing "gimp"
[19:19] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:20] <RavenHursT> really agrivating
[19:20] <pweber> :
[19:20] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: does not output anything
[19:20] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, that should fix the corrupt install, it my revert you back to 11.10 but then you can start freash
[19:20] <bob__> when trying to test 12.04 from cd no launcher, whats up?
[19:21] <jrib> antonio_: also, isn't gimp 2.6 the version in ubuntu?
[19:21] <antonio_> jrib: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/gimp-28-stable-finally-available-for.html
[19:21] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: it did not out put anything
[19:21] <myFriend> should i just assume is fixed?
[19:21] <antonio_> I followed that
[19:21] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, just run and out you back at the command prompt
[19:22] <myFriend> ?
[19:22] <myFriend> it did not do anything
[19:22] <_nedR> does anyone know how to change alt+tab and alt+~ behaviour on 12.04..
[19:22] <myFriend> rebooting now wonder if it is fixed
[19:22] <myFriend> we will see
[19:22] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, did it just run and put you back at the command prompt
[19:22] <myFriend> yes
[19:23] <greenit> hi, which drivers shall i use for an nvidia gtx 570? are the opensource alrdy very good? i'd like to use them, but i want the 3d-unity and sound over hdmi would be nice ;)
[19:23] <myFriend> now i am back at the 5 options ubuntu generic, recovery mode, previos versions, memory test, serial memory test
[19:23] <myFriend> what should i try?
[19:24] <anon> Is there any easy way to remove all old kernels?
[19:24] <jrib> antonio_: I hope you read the warning associated with that ppa
[19:24] <Captain_Proton> ubuntu generic
[19:24] <anon> I was just trying to install a new kernel and am getting the error "no space left on /boot"
[19:24] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2) General error mounting filesystems. A maintenance shell will now be started Ctrl D will terminate this shell and reboot the system
[19:25] <_nedR> RavenHursT, have you tried the option given in "Appearance" application > Behaviour tab
[19:25] <jrib> anon: remove the corresponding linux-image* package for the old kernel
[19:25] <anon> jrib, hoe?
[19:25] <anon> how?
[19:25] <coolpro> Pleomax webcam isn't working - it just doesn't show the view.
[19:25] <jrib> anon: using your favorite package manager
[19:25] <RavenHursT> _nedR: yup.  First place I went.. that just hides and then the only way to access it is via the keyboard
[19:25] <anon> jrib, what is the name of the package that I have to remove?
[19:26] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, are you on wireless or plugin to the internet
[19:26] <_nedR> is it turned ON.. and have you tried increasing the Reveal Sensitivity
[19:26] <myFriend> wireless but i can plug it
[19:26] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: why?
[19:26] <jrib> anon: I don't know.  The kernel is provided by packages whose names begin with "linux-image".  So find the packages corresponding to the kernels you want to remove and remove them.  Make sure you leave at least one around...
[19:26] <greenit> anon, search for "linux-image-3.0" and look which are installed, delete the oldest ones
[19:27] <_nedR> RavenHurst, is it turned ON.. and have you tried increasing the Reveal Sensitivity
[19:27] <greenit> anon, sry, search for "linux-image-3"
[19:27] <RavenHursT> _nedR: yup.. tried that too.. looks like it's a bug when Unity is running in a VM: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/971018
[19:27] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, if you can plugin then you will have internet access on try the upgrade for here
[19:28] <Captain_Proton> i think you are caught between upgrades
[19:28] <anon> greenit, only linus-image files or other ones as well?
[19:28] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: tell me what i shall do
[19:29] <Sicp> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my iMac and this is the third attempt, I keep getting "Error loading operating system" when I boot back up
[19:29] <Sicp> the first 2 attempts had the Mac OS alongside Ubuntu
[19:29] <Sicp> this time around it's only Ubuntu and it just finished installing, I reboot and I get that error again
[19:29] <antonio_> jrib:  I just needed to press ctrl+H in file manager to reveal it :|
[19:30] <myFriend> Sicp:  nice
[19:30] <linuxR> how can I install the complete kernel sources in ubuntu?
[19:30] <linuxR> anyone got a hint?
[19:30] <_nedR> oh ok.. well i am out of ammo then
[19:30] <Sicp> nice yea?
[19:30] <Sicp> lol
[19:30] <jrib> antonio_: files that start with a '.' won't be show in nautilus by default, yes
[19:31] <antonio_> jrib: you could tell me that before >:)
[19:31] <bob__> when trying to test 12.04 from cd no launcher, whats up?
[19:31] <anon> What is the command to remove an old kernel and all the files it comes with?
[19:31] <Keo-w> if i want mail.blah.com to resolve to 10.1.1.59 on my local box don't i just add 10.1.1.59 mail.blah.com in my /etc/hosts file?
[19:32] <jrib> antonio_: I thought you were passing the path to nautilus « nautilus ~/.gimp-2.5/brushes » in which case it wouldn't matter
[19:32] <jrib> anon: you want to use command line or gui?
[19:32] <anon> jrib, command line
[19:32] <jrib> anon: do you know how to use apt-get to remove a package?
[19:33] <anon> yes
[19:33] <Moc> How does one get to use the mouse in ALT-TAB ?
[19:33] <anon> But a Kernel is not only one single file, is it.
[19:33] <jrib> anon: as I said before, a kernel is provided by packages named linux-image*
[19:33] <anon> jrib, all the dependencies have to be uninstalled as well.
[19:33] <wylde> linuxR: apt-get source linux-source
[19:34] <plouffe> bob__, did you check boot sequence in BIOS?
[19:34] <jrib> anon: you should just need to remove the proper linux-image* package...
[19:34] <Moc> or, how do I disable the group application in alt-tab ?
[19:34] <anon> jrib, how do I find out what kernels are installd by command?
[19:34] <Moc> anon: uname -a
[19:34] <jrib> anon: dpkg -l 'linux-image*' | grep '^ii'
[19:35] <linuxR> wylde, that does not work (gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found)
[19:35] <linuxR> Im going nuts :(
[19:35] <anon> Moc,  that only shows the one in use
[19:35] <bob__> booting off of cd just fine but when loaded no launcher
[19:35] <craigbass1976> Where is mysql data stored in Ubuntu?
[19:35] <Moc> it has to be installed to be in use ;)
[19:35] <jrib> anon: make sure you do not remove all your kernels.
[19:35] <craigbass1976> mysql says /usr/local/mysql is the likely place, but I don't see it
[19:35] <anon> jrib, thx
[19:36] <jrib> craigbass1976: try chopping off the /local/ part
[19:36] <wylde> linux4u: ahh yeah I see, it didn't grab it. sudo apt-get install linux-source   <-- will get the current kernel source.
[19:36] <Moc> dont remove kernel, just change the default one
[19:37] <mcb_>  craigbass1976: do $grep datadir   /etc/mysql/my.cf. It will tell you were you have it configured.
[19:37] <greenit> anon, if you rly want an easy way, install ubuntu tweak (http://ubuntu-tweak.com/) and go to janitor --> old kernels
[19:37] <linuxmonkey> I just found out encrypting my home folder wasnt the best idea when I installed 12.04 lol cause a few services i have need files there and fail to start when pc is rebooted :(
[19:37] <Moc> :/ I tried...
[19:37] <anon> greenit, thx
[19:38] <Keo-w> if i want mail.blah.com to resolve to 10.1.1.59 on my local box don't i just add 10.1.1.59 mail.blah.com in my /etc/hosts file?
[19:38] <marsje> In 12.04 Alt key should bring up the HUD? It doesn't. By Windows key bring up what I think is the HUD. Correct?
[19:39] <greenit> marsje, if you tab the alt-key for a very short duration, u have the hud
[19:40] <wawowe> Keo-w: yes
[19:40] <Keo-w> wawowe i did that and ping it and it doesn't beleive me. it wants to use dns instead
[19:40] <marsje> greenit: nor long nor a short press does anything at all
[19:41] <marsje> graytron: is there any backup key for that?
[19:41] <marsje> oops
[19:41] <marsje> he left quick
[19:41] <marsje> hit and run answer...
[19:41] <craigbass1976> mcb_, jrib there's not a file for each database?  I'd already found /var/lib/mysql but nothing in there looked familiar
[19:42] <jrib> craigbass1976: /var/lib/mysql is where they're kept on my 10.04 servers
[19:42] <wawowe> Keo-w: it will only apply to that box, but it should believe you
[19:42] <marsje> is there any other key that brings up the HUD besides the Alt key?
[19:42] <craigbass1976> jrib, and do you see a file for each db?
[19:42] <jrib> craigbass1976: yes
[19:43] <craigbass1976> hrmmm
[19:43] <wawowe> Keo-w: like my hosts file has 192.168.3.3 uranus, so i can just type ping uranus
[19:43] <craigbass1976> Well, screw it.  Perhaps I didnt' have any and was only hitting remote dbs
[19:45] <erle-> how to install particular 32 bit libs in 64 bit precise?
[19:46] <mcb_> craigbass1976: In /etc/mysql/my.cf is where your DATADIR is configured. If it says that your files are in /var/lib/mysql, they should be there. As i upgraded from preveous version, my files are there. There is a directory for each database I have.
[19:46] <Skipp_OSX> I am trying to install vmware-tools on Ubuntu 12.04 server and am running into problems building the vmnet kernel module. I've installed gcc, make, binutils, and the linux kernel-headers for my version, is there anything else I need to install?
[19:46] <marsje> any way I can permanently enable the "shutdown" option in unity, so I won't have to press the alt-key to make it show?
[19:46] <glebaron> http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/condor.html shows that the condor package should be part of the main repository.
[19:47] <glebaron> But when I apt-cache search condor, it does not show up.
[19:47] <jrib> glebaron: this is #ubuntu
[19:47] <glebaron> yes.
[19:47] <mcb_> craigbass1976: But what do you plan to do with it anyway? If it is backup or copying , you should consider using mysqldump.......
[19:47] <Dreamer3> hey can anyone point me in the right direction for rules to stem off a DDOS attack?

[19:48] <faLUCE> hi, I can't hear audio anymore, on 11.10. From what can I start in order to solve=
[19:48] <faLUCE> ?
[19:48] <Dreamer3> so i assume i can tweak the firewall
[19:49] <craigbass1976> mcb_, lucid to precise upgrade that went terribly wrong.
[19:50] <jrib> glebaron: actually I think what you are linking to is just a page that talks about some 3rd party repository, is that right?
[19:50] <glebaron> I could be.
[19:50] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04, I have 4 3TB disks, I created an 8GB partition for / on one, 8GB on the second for /var on the second, 8GB on the 3rd for /usr on the 4th and 8GB on the last for swap
[19:50] <jrib> glebaron: I think so :)
[19:50] <linuxR> hi all. Is there any way of downloading an ubuntu kernel *including* the used config?
[19:50] <jiffe98> when I do this, the next screen in the install says my setup requires a separate partition for a boot loader?
[19:51] <glebaron> jrib, check this: On my 10.04 LTS system:

[19:52] <mct> Am I missing a very obvious way of accessing the grub boot menu under 12.04?

[19:53] <jrib> mct: hold down shift
[19:53] <mct> jrib: Thanks!
[19:53] <wawowe> Keo-w: can you pastebin your hosts?
[19:54] <guntbert> jiffe98: when you repeat your question in several minutes, try to keep it in one line (no <enter> in between) - it will be much easier to read that way - and might therefore have more chance to get an answer
[19:54] <glebaron> jrib, condor is listed in the apt-cache of my 10.04 system but not my 12.04 system. I am trying to understand why.
[19:54] <beyler> chromium http://i46.tinypic.com/2cp9u28.png  What is the reason it 12.04 xubuntu
[19:54] <jrib> glebaron: apt-cache policy condor
[19:54] <jrib> glebaron: (on a pastebin this time)
[19:54] <jrib> glebaron: (and for your 10.04 system)
[19:55] <jiffe98> guntbert: sorry I guess its habit to try to break it up
[19:56] <guntbert> jiffe98: :)

[19:57] <nyuszika7h> Hi,  is there a simple way to get my printer working without HPLIP? I remember Lucid detecting my printer and installing some basic drivers for it, but in Precise, I had to install HPLIP.
[19:57] <nyuszika7h> HPLIP's tray icon has an annoying bug which causes duplicate menu entries.

[19:58] <osse> I am having some after installing 12.04. I'm experiencing that Ubuntu sometimes can't change settings (keyboard layout) and can't remember changed settings after rebooting (Compiz). Any help with where I can even start debugging this would be most appreciated.
[19:58] <jrib> glebaron: so it's no longer in the repositories apparently.  Maybe check bugs.ubuntu.com to find out why

[20:13] <BrandonBolton> Hi, how do I automatically unlock the keyring when I log in?
[20:14] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: log in with your password
[20:14] <ayebear> pacman -Rs apt-get
[20:14] <meck0> Hi! I have videoproblems in Ubuntu 11.10. The picture has a white/blue tone on it. Though of codec problem or gfx-driver (Nvidia 8800GT). The same with several mediaplayers also VLC. Have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. Any clue?
[20:15] <osse> What program can I use to browse the settings stored in ~/.config/dconf/user ?
[20:15] <BrandonBolton> guntbert, even when there is no password? I am trying to make it easier for my mom to use the computer and have her automatically log into the computer.
[20:15] <Oasa> meck0: Can you post a screenshot?
[20:16] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: in that case you must remove the password from the key ring - I didn't do that in a long time - let me look
[20:16] <BrandonBolton> guntbert, Thank you very much. :)
[20:17] <skx`> what's the best release for a netbook (asus 1000he - 1.6Ghz with 2gb ram) ?
[20:17] <skx`> ubuntu 10.10 seems to be for netbooks but it's no longer supported
[20:17] <Oasa> meck0: Did you try using X windows system as the output?
[20:17] <BrandonBolton> skx, any version works. I say the default desktop 32-bit.
[20:17] <Oasa> !eol | Skx
[20:17] <terwine> Hello! I'm having trouble getting a SAMBA/AD share to work properly in Ubuntu 12.04. Was working in 10.04 but I upgraded yesterday and it is broken.
[20:18] <twig11> What could be causing weird corruption of the graphics when I leave an account logged in for an extended period? It happens in 12.04 and has been happening since 11.04. I'm running 12.04 on a Dell GX520 with Intel 82945G/GZ integrated graphics.
[20:18] <skx`> im scared that 11 and 12v will be too heavy for a netbook
[20:18] <BrandonBolton> skx, on mine, I have no problem with the default desktop.
[20:18] <skx`> which one? 11? or 12?
[20:19] <BrandonBolton> skx, don't be scared. It runs really well. I am running 12.04 LTS on my netbook.
[20:19] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: I found it: open "passwords and encryption"
[20:19] <skx`> ok thanks for confirmation - will give it a try
[20:19] <meck0> Oasa, just wanted to make a screenshot when I see now that videos are looking as they should now :) Some updates where installed earlier today, it must have been something there :)
[20:19] <BrandonBolton> guntbert, okay I did.
[20:19] <BrandonBolton> skx, no problem. Cheers. :)
[20:19] <mcb_> skx: If you are afraid. Try it with live CD first. Like it, isntall it!
[20:20] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: now in the first tab right click on Passwords:login, and select  "change password", leave the new pw empty
[20:20] <BlueWolf> Oasa, I have done the following: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current then sudo nvidia-xconfig.?
[20:21] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: please be aware of the security implications :-)
[20:21] <voyteg> hello
[20:21] <Oasa> BlueWolf:
[20:21] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Did u install nouveau?
[20:21] <voyteg> non
[20:21] <BlueWolf> Oasa: No why?
[20:22] <BrandonBolton> guntbert, thank you. :) I didn't know how to do this. I am not worried about security on my mom's account. My account has all of the rights and everything. Have a nice day. :)
[20:22] <voyteg> francaise or ENGLIS?
[20:22] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Hmm Can you type "drivers" in dash and check if any driver is available for u
[20:22] <Dice-Man> voyteg: join #ubuntu-fr for french help
[20:22] <BlueWolf> Oasa: How and where?
[20:22] <voyteg> currently i am testing from flash memory
[20:22] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: you're welcome :-)
[20:23] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Press Super key (Windows Key) and Type "DRIVERS" And you should be able to see Additional Drivers, Click on it
[20:24] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Nothing is happening when I press the supper key?
[20:24] <Oasa> BlueWOlf: Forgot you are using low res mode.
[20:24] <Oasa> Try restarting now
[20:25] <syddraf> When attempting to shutdown Xubuntu, it freezes on the shutdown screen. Is there a way to find out what is actually happening and how to stop this from occurring?
[20:25] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Ok let me finish afew things. :D
[20:25] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Just to confirm, which version ubuntu are u using and which desktop ? (Unity or Gnome?)
[20:25] <akhil_> hi i have a little problem.
[20:26] <Oasa> BlueWolf: also can you run lspci | grep VGA
[20:26] <akhil_> i am using ubuntu 11.04 and when i open synaptic package manager it gives an error
[20:26] <akhil_> What should i do?
[20:26] <BlueWolf> Oasa: 10.10 and Gnome why?
[20:27] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Nothing. Just confused on why superkey not starting :)
[20:27] <Oasa> BLueWOlf: I was referring to Unity. Any ways, can you check for additional drivers
[20:27] <akhil_> Also,my software center is not working.What should i do?
[20:27] <linuxR> hi all, where can I find the compiled kernel modules after compilin?
[20:28] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Will try
[20:28] <soa2ii> Why does cups install samba as a dependency? Can I prevent this somehow if I just want a printserver?
[20:28] <akhil_> any help?
[20:28] <elgaton> akhil_: What's the error message?
[20:28] <Oasa> akhil_ : whwat error?
[20:28] <oles> how add noacpi option in kernel boot in grub2?
[20:28] <soa2ii> akhil_: modprobe -l will give you a hint

[20:30] <Oasa> akhil_ i suggest a rebuild of all packages

[20:31] <elgaton> akhil_: then type "sudo apt-get update"
[20:31] <Oasa> akhil_ : sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/( -vf && sudo apt-get update
[20:31] <Oasa> if the problem persists, try removing the non - default ppas
How much mbs it will take.because i am short of net connection
How much mbs it will take.because i am short of net connection
[20:32] <Oasa> akhil_ It doesnt require that much data
[20:33] <Oasa> akhil_: it just updates the package lists.
[20:33] <L3top> akhil_: that last command by Oasa will not work, and it is just a package update... I would guess 20 mb.
[20:33] <oles> Jordan_U, i cant boot kernel, a need this option before boot
ok
thanks
Thanks
[20:34] <elgaton> akhil_: You're welcome
Thanks
[20:34] <Oasa> L3top: Akhil: yup there was a typo :(
[20:34] <Jordan_U> oles: Then hold shift during boot to get to the grub menu, press 'e' to edit the first entry, then add "noacpi" after "quiet splash" (on the same line).
[20:34] <dale> How would I go about changing the size of icons on the desktop, and in the dock/launcher ?
i figured out that :)
[20:35] <naryfa> Hi, can anybody tell me what is responsible for placing windows on the desktop in Ubuntu? Is it metacity? I find that windows just pop out at random positions when opened. They don't have a memory of sort - of where they were closed previously. Is it even possible to achieve that?
[20:35] <Oasa> dale: Unity or Gnome ?
[20:35] <oles> Jordan_U, i tryied this, but it couldnt help me
[20:35] <dale> unity
[20:35] <Jordan_U> oles: What happened when you tried it?
[20:36] <Oasa> dale: Click on Change Dekstop Background and change Launcer icon size
[20:36] <oles> Jordan_U, kernel boot hanged
[20:36] <Oasa> dale: and for icon you can just right click and resize
[20:37] <Jordan_U> oles: Are you sure that you added "noacpi" to the same line as "quiet splash"?
i tried the command but now in my software center,for every software,its showing that its provided by Universe and then its updating cache.What should i do?
[20:37] <dale> Oasa; I can change the background, but dont see anything about launcher icon size
[20:37] <elgaton> akhil_: Let it update the cache.
[20:37] <Jordan_U> oles: Then pressed ctrl+X or F10 to boot the modified entry?
[20:37] <akhil_> but its taking too much size?
[20:37] <oles> Jordan_U, yes
[20:37] <Oasa> dale: there is something called launcher icon size towards the bottom. Btw, which version of unity ?
[20:38] <dale> Oasa; ubuntu 11.10
[20:38] <wurble> On upgrade to precise it seems that the bootloader is not being found. How do I troubleshoot?
[20:38] <Oasa> dale: i recommend you to install myunity. That takes care about many customizations
[20:38] <mauri54> ciao atutti
[20:38] <Jordan_U> wurble: What do you mean by "the bootloader is not being found"? What are the actual symptoms you see?
[20:38] <mauri54> !lista
[20:39] <dale> Changing the icon size works, but only changes the one single icon.. I want all of them on desktop changed to the same size.
[20:39] <dale> oasa, I will check into that. Thanks
[20:39] <Oasa> dale:
[20:39] <Oasa> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:myunity/ppa
[20:39] <Oasa> sudo apt-get update
[20:39] <Oasa> sudo apt-get install myunity

[20:39] <t0rx__> Can anyone help me with getting an Intel GMA3600 running with 3d capable drivers?
[20:40] <wurble> Jordan_U:  Black screen, caps and scroll lock flashing
[20:40] <Jordan_U> oles: Can you boot from a LiveCD/USB?
[20:40] <Jordan_U> wurble: That sounds like a kernel panick, not like a problem with the bootloader.
[20:41] <wurble> Jordan_U: What would a bootloader failure look like?
[20:41] <Oasa> wurble: it doesnt start up itself :P
[20:41] <L3top> hello t0rx__  still not running 3d accel?
[20:41] <akhil_> ok then thanks everyone and bye :)
[20:41] <oles> Jordan_U, i booted from live usb with this option, so it booted noramelly, but when i installed it on hard drive it stopped work
[20:41] <itaws> where to register nick name #channel ?
[20:41] <Oasa> akhil_ bye
[20:41] <Oasa> itaws: /msg nickserv
[20:42] <Jordan_U> wurble: There are many ways that a bootloader can fail. I can tell that this is none of those because capslock flashing is the primary signal for a kernel panic.
[20:42] <schultza> is gnome-menu still available?
[20:42] <t0rx__> Hey L3top, no dice.  I installed the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver from the PPA but still X crashes on start with anything but vesa driver
[20:42] <Oasa> itaws: /msg nickserv help
[20:42] <wurble> Jordan_U: Okay, I'll try to reboot and get into grub menu
[20:43] <Jordan_U> wurble: Hold shift during boot and try booting from an older kernel.
[20:43] <faustische> How do I modify the USA keyboard layout in Gnome? I want to change "-" to "_" and vice versa.
[20:43] <faustische> What do I search for?
[20:43] <t0rx__> L3top, not sure if it has any relation but I did notice that the screen output shows a seg fault when I do "X -configure" to generate the xorg.conf file.  The file still gets generated though
[20:44] <dale> Still not sure if I am digging this unity. Shoulda stayed on 10.10 :P
 which channel i have to be join  ?
[20:44] <Oasa> itaws: just type /msg nickserv help
[20:44] <Oasa> dale: you can always install gnome :)
[20:44] <danny> i was wondering if there was a way to get the amount of space the folder is back in the buttom right on the window it was a feature in prevoius version of ubuntu any way to get this back
[20:44] <Marzata> faustische: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
[20:44] <L3top> something is very strange t0rx__. I wonder if your GPU does not have a problem...
[20:45] <faustische> Marzata, thanks
[20:45] <Fyodorovna> dale, 10.10 was end of release and officially not supported here, which is a bummer if you need help on the channel
[20:45] <Oasa> dale: Hope myunity fixed your problem.
[20:45] <dale> Oasa, I probably should.. Probably more used to gnome then unity. lol
[20:45] <Fyodorovna> s'was'is
[20:45] <dale> Just finished installing, about to take a look at it
[20:45] <Oasa> dale: :)
[20:45] <dale> Thanks again Oasa!
[20:45] <Oasa> dale: Welcome
 but how to do it privately because i think it is not done publically !
[20:46] <t0rx__> L3top, How would I tell about the GPU?  Not sure if it helps but here is the output from inix:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/965539/
[20:46] <Oasa> itaws: it is private
[20:46] <borlax> Has anyone run into an issue with lightdm hanging after the password is entered? It just sits there with the "Logging in" text.
 do u mean that i can type it in #ubuntu channel ?
[20:47] <Oasa> borlax: Can you confirm if you are using a laptop
[20:47] <borlax> Oasa: I am.
[20:48] <Oasa> itaws: just type "/msg nickserv help" this sets a private conversation with nicskserv and it is not visible in channel. Nickserv will show all the things you can do
[20:48] <Oasa> borlax: an hp one?
[20:48] <lkj> Is there anyway to upgrade javaHL on Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[20:48] <borlax> Oasa: Its an Asus
[20:48] <Oasa> borlax: does it have 2 gpus ?
[20:48] <dale> Oasa; I got the launcher resized to my liking.. Is there anyway to have the desktop icons all resized instead of doing each by itself?
[20:49] <borlax> Oasa: No, it has one onboard
[20:49] <borlax> Oasa: i5 proccessor
[20:49] <Oasa> borlax: then i dont have any idea. I had that trouble with dual gpus. Try restarting the xserver. I donno mate. Any errors to it might help
[20:49] <lkj> Does anyone know how to get subclipse working. It says I need a later version of javaHL??
[20:50] <borlax> Oasa: i can try to get the log files
[20:50] <manitou> hi need help with script im trying to make script to set brightness when is on AC and to change when is on BATTery ! here is http://paste.ubuntu.com/965534/ if some can check , im not good at it , its my first script ! :) hi need help with script im trying to make script to set brightness when is on AC and to change when is on BATTery ! here is http://paste.ubuntu.com/965534/ if some can check , im not good at it , its my first script ! :) hi need
[20:50] <manitou> help with script im trying to make script to set brightness when is on AC and to change when is on BATTery ! here is http://paste.ubuntu.com/965534/ if some can check , im not good at it , its my first script ! :)  intel_backlight command work its checked ;)
[20:50] <borlax> Oasa: installing gdm lets me into the system, i just would rather have lightdm
[20:50] <manitou> sry !
[20:50] <maximida_> If I download a package from apt, how can I get the source code? I install ncurses-examples which has cool little examples of ncurses but they didn't include the source code
[20:51] <Harkins> If I'm using a pptp vpn, does all of my traffic use it all the time? Do I have to do anything extra to ensure this is the case?
[20:51] <Oasa> hmm..borlax. Can you see if you have Rendering on ?
[20:51] <Oasa> dale:
[20:52] <t0rx__> L3top, Is there a way I can see info about my GPU or it's driver or something?
[20:52] <maximida_> lshw -c video
[20:53] <maximida_> Torx: lshw -c video
[20:53] <lkj> Does anyone know how to get subclipse working. It says I need a later version of javaHL??
[20:53] <Oasa> dale: if am right
[20:53] <Jordan_U> maximida_: "apt-get source packagename" will download that package's source (saving it in your current directory).
[20:53] <balleyne> I was kicked out of GNOME when running the upgrade to 12.04 (Unity stuff disappeared, then next thing I knew I was at the log in screen). Trying `sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a`, but it just keeps churning away at the CPU with little activity in top and *no* output...
[20:53] <sliddjur> Since ram is so cheap now, is it possible to load the whole OS onto the RAM. If im running a diskless system with just an USB stick?
[20:53] <Oasa> dale: Open any folder and go edit->preference
[20:54] <Oasa> and change the icon %
[20:54] <Oasa> but i suppose it affects all icons not just the desktops
[20:54] <balleyne> it was complaining at a version number status issue, cycling back and forth between two... I manually adjusted the statuses, still looks like it's in some kind of loop, just no warnings now
[20:54] <Oasa> but there;s where you have to dig
[20:55] <Jordan_U> sliddjur: Yes, it's easy to do that with a Live system (as in LiveCD/USB) but much more difficult with a system that you can actually properly upgrade and use normally.
[20:55] <Oasa> dale: Some one else should be able to help you :(
[20:55] <balleyne> oops... nm, I'm running the wrong command...
[20:55] <Jordan_U> sliddjur: Linux's file caching is good, I don't expect you'll get much benefit from loading everything into RAM at boot.
[20:56] <sliddjur> Jordan_U: doesnt just a live CD boot up the OS, but not put the apps in ram? What im thinking of is loading a XBMC-ubuntu live CD
[20:57] <dale> Oasa, lol.. now the icons in my home folder are so small. I tried changing it back, but it doesn't change the active folder
[20:57] <dale> wierd
[20:57] <Oasa> dale: :S
[20:58] <Jordan_U> sliddjur: Ubuntu LiveCDs support a "toram" kernel parameter which copies everything into RAM at boot.
[20:58] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> how do I open a file with a program that is in a lower directory? I have tried with "/" and "\" but, uhm
[20:58] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: use "../../"
[20:58] <raelsam> hi everyone ! it's my fist time on irc !
[20:59] <raelsam> *first
[20:59] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: (and so on, every "../" is for one level)
[20:59] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> I meant is is in a folder in the folder of the program.. :P
[20:59] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> not above it
[20:59] <dale> Meh. What a complete pain in the rear.
[20:59] <Oasa> raelsam: What brings you to #ubuntu?
[20:59] <dale> Why something so easy has to be so complicated is beyond me.
[20:59] <itaws> how to install update by terminal ?
[20:59] <dale> lmao
[21:00] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> its called hemoroides :P
[21:00] <maximida_> JordanU: that command switched to ncurses and not ncurses-examples :(
[21:00] <|Slacker|> hello...I have installed the latest nvidia drivers but now it crashes compiz, how do I revert to the drivers that come with ubuntu?
[21:00] <|Slacker|> thanks
[21:00] <raelsam> @itaws sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:00] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: Use "./foldername/programname"
[21:00] <Oasa> sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:01] <Oasa> make sure you do sudo apt-get update before that
[21:01] <elgaton> |Slacker|: Open Restricted Drivers again, select the driver and mark "Disable"
[21:01] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> ah
[21:01] <sliddjur> Ok, but what about installing ubuntu on a USB stick, are home folder files and such saved onto the USB stick then?
[21:01] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> elgaton: thanks!
[21:01] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: You're welcome
[21:01] <itaws> i used that command it is not installing all update ?
[21:01] <Jordan_U> maximida_: That's because the source package "ncurses" creates many binary packages, one of which is ncurses-examples.
[21:01] <Oasa> itaws: :S
[21:01] <Brustofski-Fan> how do i reinstall the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'  ??
[21:01] <|Slacker|> elgaton, I did this already but now it's using a driver called gallium and then my fonts get crappy in the browser
[21:01] <raelsam> like Oasa said make sure you've got sudo apt-get update before
[21:02] <maximida_> Jordan_U I see, so how could I get the source?
[21:02] <Jordan_U> maximida_: You just did.
[21:02] <maximida_> Oh, i see
[21:02] <elgaton> Brustofski-Fan: Open a terminal and issue the command "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"
[21:02] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> must i write very directory from root? the terminal is in "root" i guess
[21:03] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: Just use "cd foldername" to enter the directory you want to go into
[21:04] <elgaton> |Slacker|: which graphics card type are you using (ATI, nVidia or Intel)?
[21:04] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> so if I cd my way to the directory, and then issue the open program command, i dont need to use the previous answer, yes?
[21:04] <Brustofski-Fan> elgaton, after i asked that i figured thats what it was
[21:04] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: Yes (make sure to put a "./" in front of the program name, however)
[21:05] <t0rx__> L3top, Not sure if this helps but here is a lspci -v -s dump: http://paste.ubuntu.com/965570/
[21:05] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> im just wring the program name as it is, has worked so far
[21:05] <|Slacker|> elgaton, nvidia
[21:05] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> nomather which folder im in
[21:05] <|Slacker|> elgaton, geforce 7100
[21:06] <|Slacker|> onboard
[21:06] <Oasa> |Slacker| get the noveaux driver
[21:06] <syddraf> Is there a way to check which applications are receiving keybind events? The volume controls on this computer appear to be decreasing the volume in the notify, but they aren't actually affecting PA or ALSA.
[21:06] <|Slacker|> Oasa,good idea...I'll try this one
[21:06] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> when I try to cd myself there, I get bash: ./rootdirectoryname: No such file or directory.
 i a using 12.04 LTS  and it is my first experience for LTS !
[21:07] <Oasa> http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau
[21:07] <Oasa> |Slacker|
[21:07] <|Slacker|> thanks
[21:07] <Jordan_U> caNtGetMuchMoreN: What is the exact command you ran?
[21:07] <Oasa> itaws: LTS is no different from the others. Just that it is a bit stable
[21:07] <L3top> t0rx__: sudo lshw -C video
[21:07] <Oasa> more stable* and you get 6 years
[21:07] <Oasa> of service
[21:07] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> excact: cd pentest
[21:08] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> then cd ./pentest
[21:08] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> then  cd /pentest

[21:08] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: No problem - glad you figured it out
[21:08] <Jordan_U> caNtGetMuchMoreN: What are you actually trying to run, and why?
[21:08] <itaws> only the recommended updates are not getting upgrades !
[21:08] <Oasa> ThinkT510 : itaws: 5 years. Sorry

[21:09] <arkavalefear> hi
[21:09] <tafelpoo1> hi all, anyone a good tutorial for installing an ubuntu using debootstrap?
[21:09] <Oasa> hi arkavalefear
[21:09] <tafelpoo1> I have a 11.10 running but I want to downgrade to a 10.04LTS
[21:10] <elgaton> tafelpoo1: You'll need to reinstall from scratch
[21:10] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> Jordan_U: trying to learn aircrack-ng on my iphone shared wifi connection to the workstation. :P
[21:10] <ThinkT510> !downgrade | tafelpoo1
[21:10] <LunarLander> hello
[21:10] <elgaton> tafelpoo1: Also, you should not be running such an old version on your system. Upgrade to 12.04 if possible.
[21:11] <BlueWolf> How can I fix this problem - Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this. (EE) NVIDIA Failed to load the NVIDIA Kernal module. Please check your (EE) NVIDIA:    system's kernel log for additional error messages. (EE) No drivers available.
[21:11] <marlinc> How well does Ubuntu 12.04 LTS run on 512 mb RAM? Desktop edition by the way
[21:11] <LunarLander> I got a question that is a bit more related to knoppix, is it OK to ask here or is there another linux channel?

[21:11] <ThinkT510> LunarLander: theres also ##linux
[21:11] <LunarLander> can you point me to one?
[21:11] <LunarLander> ah thanks

[21:11] <itaws> is there any awesome themes for ubuntu because i am using default and i am bored of it ?
[21:12] <Simplew> to who i need to talk so that a ubuntu bug in debian-installer can be fixed?
[21:12] <BlueWolf> Anyone?
[21:12] <pewpewpewpew> Can precise pangolin run on a galaxy tab?
[21:12] <Oasa> BlueWolf: It did not fix :S Did you try additional drivers?
[21:12] <tafelpoo1> elgaton: I have my reasons to use 10.04LTS. The downgrade will be done using debootstrap
[21:12] <elgaton> Simplew: File a bug report in Launchpad
[21:12] <MonkeyDust> !eyecandy| itaws
[21:12] <tafelpoo1> elgaton: any experience with that?
[21:12] <Simplew> [elgaton] already did

[21:13] <anonymous3141593> woah gimp 2.8.0 came out finally - http://www.gimp.org/
[21:13] <jagginess> hi, anyone using fglrx? (driconf tells me no dri device is detected, i installed this app with apt-get install driconf)
[21:13] <pewpewpewpew> Can precise pangolin run on a galaxy tab?
[21:13] <elgaton> tafelpoo1: No, unfortunately not. It's usually recommended to install from scratch in those cases, anyway.
[21:13] <Lunar_Lander> or maybe I can ask as this is a maybe general question and I am normally using ubuntu
[21:14] <rile_bre> 404 Not Found
[21:14] <elgaton> Lunar_Lander: Well, if it's general, go on :)
[21:14] <Lunar_Lander> when I just started the PC from the DVD and then opened iceweasel, netstat already showed that it was connecting to amazon, ebay and the NoScript developer's site
[21:14] <syddraf> Is there a way to check which applications are receiving keybind events? The volume controls on this computer appear to be decreasing the volume in the notify, but they aren't actually affecting PA or ALSA.
[21:14] <Lunar_Lander> and I don't know why
[21:14] <Lunar_Lander> as I said that happened immediatly when opening up the browser
[21:14] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Sadly no luck fixing it, an now I'm getting worried, lots of graphical work to do and I can't seem to fix it. I have not tried additional drivers, how would I go about this?
[21:15] <jagginess> Anyone using fglrx? my x log says libfglrxdrm.so cant be loaded
[21:15] <Oasa> BlueWolf System-> menu somewhere :S
[21:15] <Marlinc> How well does Ubuntu 12.04 LTS run on 512 mb RAM? Desktop edition by the way
[21:15] <Oasa> BlueWolf I forgot non-unity interface
[21:15] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Oh ya I have, No luck - what next?
[21:15] <Fyodorovna> Marlinc, 1 gig is suggested at the ram amount I would run lubuntu.
[21:16] <Oasa> BlueWolf: in System Settings
[21:16] <Jordan_U> !lubuntu | Marlinc
[21:16] <BlueWolf> Oasa: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[21:16] <Marlinc> Didn' t think about Lubuntu thanks
[21:16] <elgaton> Lunar_Lander: I think the NoScript developer's page opened because the Knoppix makers have installed NoScript as an addin (some browser components open their homepages at first run). As for Amazon and eBay, I think they have been set up as start pages in Knoppix (that didn't happen when I first launched Firefox on Ubuntu).
[21:16] <tafelpoo1> elgaton: debootstrap is a clean install.. so that is ok...
[21:16] <Oasa> BlueWolf: So you have installed prop driver from the additional driver?
[21:16] <tafelpoo1> but yeah
[21:16] <Marlinc> They got the same repositories so that won''
[21:16] <Marlinc> They got the same repositories so that won't give problems

[21:17] <BlueWolf> Oasa: The one previous
[21:17] <elgaton> Lunar_Lander: yes?
[21:18] <BlueWolf> Oasa: What next?
[21:18] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Did you purge novieau?
[21:18] <Oasa> BLueWOlf it seem you are still using Noveau
[21:18] <Lunar_Lander> thanks for the info elgaton

[21:18] <elgaton> Lunar_Lander: You're welcome
[21:19] <Oasa> after that run sudo nvidia-xconfig

[21:21] <BlueWolf> Oasa: It does not have seemed to have done anything?
[21:22] <Oasa> is the removal over?

[21:23] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Looks Like it - http://paste.ubuntu.com/965602/
[21:23] <Oasa> BLueWolf: what is this man-db ? is it over ?
[21:23] <xaka> is it possible to pin packages by mask instead of specify each package one by one?
[21:23] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Not sure, It looks like it

[21:24] <Oasa> so it doesnt matter

[21:25] <xskydevilx> I'm looking for OS X Lion cursors for Precise.
[21:25] <Oasa> BlueWolf: It seems you had two drivers at the same time.
[21:26] <ThinkT510> Oasa: when you use nvidia i think the nouveau driver just gets blacklisted/disabled rather than removed
[21:26] <jagginess> "<jagginess> Anyone using fglrx? my x log says libfglrxdrm.so cant be loaded"
[21:26] <jagginess> ?
[21:26] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Strange - Ok it's removing. From the System ?
[21:26] <Oasa> ThinkT510 Please help BlueWolf then
[21:26] <jagginess> :(
[21:26] <ThinkT510> Oasa: you don't need to purge it for the nvidia driver to work
[21:26] <Oasa> He is entering low graphics mode repeatedly
[21:27] <toastedpenguin> anyone know of a repo for ruby 1.9.2 for Lucid?
[21:28] <ThinkT510> Oasa: sorry, i've never had that problem so not sure how to help him
[21:29] <tyler_d> I just upgraded to 12.04 and I cannot get my openvpn to function to work either from the gui nor the terminal, I have verified that the correct packages are installed and need to know how to get it to go into "debug mode"
[21:29] <Oasa> ThinkT510: when he opens nvidia control panel it says no nvidia. SO i thought noveaux is still being used
[21:29] <ThinkT510> Oasa: sounds like he tried using the nvidia driver from the website rather than the repo
[21:30] <Oasa> ThinkT510: he used it from the repo only.
[21:30] <lkj> Is there a way to adjust the screen brightness from the desktop?
[21:30] <ThinkT510> Oasa: hmm, odd, i've never experienced any problems with the driver from the repo
[21:30] <lkj> LIke volume control
[21:31] <lkj> but for screen brightness?

[21:32] <Oasa> ThinkT510: hmmm
[21:34] <Lunar_Lander> hm ThinkT510 is the other person who just helped me still here?
[21:34] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: i think he left too
[21:34] <Lunar_Lander> hm
[21:34] <Lunar_Lander> just restarted, and the thing happened again
[21:35] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: what happened, i wasn't here for the first part
[21:35] <Lunar_Lander> I started iceweasel and it has connections to google, ebay, yahoo, amazon, noscript developer
[21:35] <Lunar_Lander> ah I got my knoppix DVD at the moment
[21:35] <Marlinc> What is the 'alternative' release? Next to desktop and server.
[21:35] <Lunar_Lander> and when I started iceweasel I looked at netstat out of interest
[21:36] <Lunar_Lander> and found that iceweasel talked to amazon, google, yahoo, ebay, the noscript site
[21:36] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: oh right, that sounds like something you should ask knoppix about, something they set up for their default iceweasel install i suppose
[21:36] <Oasa> !alternative | Marlinc
[21:37] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: we can only support ubuntu in here
[21:37] <Marlinc> Thats nice
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> yea
[21:37] <Marlinc> Thank you again :)
[21:37] <Oasa> Marlinc: You are welcome
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> ThinkT510, I tried #knoppix but there were only like 5 people there
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> is there another channel?
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> I already am at ##linux
[21:37] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: not that i know of sorry
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> ah
[21:38] <Lunar_Lander> ThinkT510, I think I'll try and put my 11.10 CD in to run live mode
[21:38] <Lunar_Lander> see what netstat says then
[21:38] <Lunar_Lander> cause I am waiting on the delivery of my 12.04 CD from canonical :)
[21:39] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: cool, i can say i'm pleasantly suprised with unity, i hope you will be too
[21:39] <Lunar_Lander> well I used 11.10 before :)
[21:40] <Lunar_Lander> and unity was cool
[21:40] <Lunar_Lander> the sidebar idea and stuff
[21:40] <Oasa> has any one found out a way to move the side bar to bottom in precise?
[21:40] <trek201> using a usb wireless adapter...sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't. any ideas why?
[21:40] <ThinkT510> Oasa: that isn't supported, it will break things
[21:41] <ThinkT510> Oasa: i doubt they will allow relocation of the sidebar
[21:41] <Oasa> I still dont like the idea of making it fixed. Linux is all about freedom :|
[21:41] <borlax> ubuntu is the wrong distro then
[21:41] <ThinkT510> Oasa: xfce is still my favourite, it is awesome to be free to choose
[21:42] <Oasa> dont get me wrong. I love ubuntu <3 But i pay random visits to windows so that i can play my games :P
[21:42] <Marlinc> I wish the Steam for Linux client comes soon :D
[21:42] <Plouj> whoo!
[21:43] <Marlinc> I think that will be the first time I will really play a video game
[21:43] <Oasa> Marlinc : Me too.. The PlayonLinux or Wine are both buggy
[21:43] <Marlinc> Because there is no way for me to install Windows
[21:43] <Plouj> dpkg --configure linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic; dpkg --configure -a fixed my problems
[21:43] <Marlinc> I simply won't for a game
[21:43] <Marzata> Signpost is my fav comp game.
[21:43] <Marlinc> PlayOnLinux makes it a bit nicer but native is way better..
[21:43] <trek201> no ideas eh?

[21:46] <Oasa> Unetbootin Marlinc
[21:47] <mohd> Marlinc: use dd
[21:47] <Marlinc> Can I just dd the iso onto the USB?
[21:47] <mohd> check the iso md5 1st .
[21:47] <ThinkT510> Marlinc: 11.10+ can be dd'ed to a usb
[21:47] <Marlinc> And it would boot?
[21:47] <mohd> Marlinc: of course , thats the point :)
[21:48] <Marlinc> Thats pretty cool I'll try that
[21:48] <mohd> !md5sum | Marlinc
[21:48] <Fyodorovna> Marlinc, yes a dd would work
[21:48] <Oasa> What is DD ?
[21:48] <ThinkT510> Oasa: low level direct copy
[21:48] <Oasa> so that flags it as bootable ?

[21:52] <edgarosy> how do I fix my /etc/resolv.conf to get the right dns sever info from dhcp
[21:52] <ThinkT510> Marlinc: attention seekers with no good way of spending their time
[21:53] <Marlinc> Could be
[21:53] <deufrai> edgarosy: you need to cehck your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[21:55] <edgarosy> deufral what changes do I need to make in that file so it gets the right ip from the right dns server?
[21:55] <soner> hello, some help with a hdd with password how do i cleant it up?
[21:55] <deufrai> edgarosy: and see if the 'request' section contains 'domain-name-servers'
[21:55] <soner> Im on parted magic now
[21:56] <edgarosy> it does have a section that contains that info but it does not specify an specific hostname nor Ip address
[21:57] <deufrai> edgarosy: then your DHCP server should provide it's configured DNS server(s) IP address(es)
[21:57] <edgarosy> ok
[21:57] <root> holaa
[21:57] <soner> who knows how to reset a password on a hhd?
[21:59] <edgarosy> have to figure that one out
[21:59] <edgarosy> thanks deufral for the help
[21:59] <deufrai> edgarosy: make sure your DHCP server has a configured DNS server. At least one
[22:00] <edgarosy> right on
[22:03] <Fyodorovna> soner,  a HD or a install?
[22:04] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !!!
[22:04] <OccupyDemonoid> Hello, is there a way to have music files in a common directory that is accessible to all users like how Windows Seven is with the public folders?
[22:05] <|Pasha> OccupyDemonoid: samba server will do that
[22:05] <Fyodorovna> soner, if you're using a partitioner you could just reformat it if there is nothing to save.
[22:05] <vsdk> hi, is anyone using "remind" command?
[22:06] <OccupyDemonoid> |Pasha, for files that are on the local hard drive?
[22:06] <Simkin> OccupyDemonoid: you can also use mediatomb
[22:06] <|Pasha> OccupyDemonoid: you can specify which directories or files that who want to share
[22:06] <DoctorPepper> need some help some help , since  i upgraded  to 12.04 my system is very  at booting  it takes around 4 to 5 minutes  to boot .  i use btrfs over lvm  as  root filesystem  and the same for my /home fs
[22:06] <Simkin> OccupyDemonoid: then you can stream the music to dlna capable devices (ps3 and tvs and such)
[22:07] <OccupyDemonoid> Ah, thank you for the tips Simkin and |Pasha. I will give them a try. :)
[22:07] <Simkin> DoctorPepper: btrfs is still experimental... just incase you didn't know
[22:07] <Igmu> I have a device driver question...
[22:08] <Igmu> I have finally got my laptop fingerprint reader to work in login using ubuntu 12.10
[22:08] <DoctorPepper> Simkin:  i know  , but  i have been using  it for nearly two years  and i didnt have any real issue.
[22:09] <Simkin> DoctorPepper: i've been using it for al ittle over two years now... i've had some strange problems
[22:09] <Simkin> but no data loss in the last year + (not since 2.6.38... i think?)
[22:09] <Igmu> I used several packages to no avail. How do I find which is the device using successfully?
[22:09] <zatan> hey is anyone of you having this that youtube videos auto resizing on full screen ?
[22:10] <DoctorPepper> Simkin:  the thing i cant understand right now my boot time tripled since i upgraded to 12.04
[22:10] <copacetic> I am trying to get dual boot working with ubuntu and windows.  I installed windows first, then ubuntu.  Grub doesn't load however.  I booted with the livecd and tried to run bootrepair, it give the following error "The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition"
[22:11] <copacetic> Can anyone help me figure this out?
[22:11] <pgib> arg.... I want to install the 12.04 update.  Ubuntu automatically asked me if I'd like to upgrade.  I didn't have enough free space. I freed it up and hit "Ok" and the dialog disappeared and now I cannot find the update anywhere - not even in software center (which, btw, sucks compared to the old aptitude program)
[22:12] <Fyodorovna> pgib, what release are you running right now?
[22:12] <pgib> 11.10
[22:13] <pgib> There used to be an Update Manager I thought, but it is gone now
[22:13] <jan__> ey opacetic, google have a lot answers for you ;)
[22:13] <Fyodorovna> pgib, try alt-f2 then insert update-manager -d
[22:14] <Simkin> DoctorPepper: that is distressing.
[22:14] <Simkin> DoctorPepper: i've only upgraded one machine to 12.04 so far... so far no problems
[22:14] <pgib> cool, that started the update-manager!  I guess ubuntu removed it from the menu system to encourage people to use the incomplete software center tool
[22:16] <vith> why does terminal not show up in the alt-tab list? i just had like 6 open and i couldn't switch by clicking the pinned launcher either.
[22:16] <Fyodorovna> pgib, in software sources is a tab that has a choice of upgrades take a look.
[22:17] <jagginess> anyone using ati/fglrx ?
[22:18] <jackjackw> guys whats the command to check what the keyboard is inputting in terminal?

[22:24] <WeThePeople> is it possible to open a password protected RAR using the terminal
[22:26] <jackjackw> WeThePeople, yeah it is

[22:27] <myersg> can anyone help me: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120503150933AAyDNvs
[22:28] <dzragon> is 120hz on a syncmaster 2233rz possible to attain in ubuntu 12.04? I've tried nvidia-settings both normal through programs-menu and through console as "sudo nvidia-settings". Sudo makes it accept to save to xorg.conf, but the change to 120hz just makes the screen blink, but stay on 60hz :S
[22:28] <mneptok> myersg: that is not an Ubuntu support question. consult Wikipedia.
[22:28] <dashie_> does anyone know how i can get ssh to not respond with 'SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1'
[22:28] <myersg> i have...
[22:28] <dashie_> or at least not the os
[22:28] <myersg> is there a linux irc?
[22:28] <mneptok> myersg: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support issues.
[22:29] <myersg> ok, thanks
[22:30] <jagginess> anyone trying out pangolin?

[22:35] <metals> Hi
[22:35] <metals> is Suspend in Ubuntu the same as Stand By of Windows?
[22:36] <pi_> Good evening
[22:36] <dashie_> imbezol: thx
[22:36] <dale> During install, it downloads most of ubuntu from the Internet which is why you have to have networking setup to install it.   Do you know if it's easy to manually download all the packages to a local share somewhere and have the installer use those files instead of pulling everything off the Internet?
[22:38] <dzragon> Not possible to get 120hz in ubuntu? Does gnome and/or unity even use xorg.conf anylonger? What to edit? Why is there a nvidia-settings option to change refreshrate when it doesnt work? Have tried every single ubuntu from 8.04 and onwards and its the same. Heck, even RedHad have problems. Only distro that have shown max hz "out of the box" on any monitor ive ever used is Mandriva (mandrake)
[22:38] <OerHeks> dale, you don't need internet for install, and you can download pkgs and transfer them to an offline machine.
[22:38] <OerHeks> !offline | dale
[22:39] <dale> If I try to install something that isn't on a disc i have, it uses the internet
[22:39] <Guest77605> Is there a way to create a text file that lists all directories in a specific directory?
[22:39] <dale> I am trying to make it quicker to install/update machines only using the lan.
[22:40] <schultza> how do i install a key for a repository?
[22:40] <dale> So basically. What file would I edit to pull the files from local lan?
[22:40] <dzragon> and Mandriva only showed my monitors max hz on one single release they put out, then they suddenly changed something to make that not happen anymore.....geniality
[22:40] <Simkin> any of you guys know where i would set limits on how many 'forks' a user/process can create?
[22:41] <dale> !APTonCD
[22:41] <Guest77605> Could anybody help me I have a question
[22:41] <Simkin> i have this weird problem with a php script, where it errors out after about 3 to 6 days complaining it can't create a fork to run xec.
[22:41] <Simkin> i can make the scirpt auto close and start every day.. but that seems like a cheap solution
[22:41] <Resistance> !anybody | Guest77605
[22:41] <MarcN> Anyone using a DisplayLink USB video card for a 3rd monitor? I've edited xorg.conf and restarted X, but the displaylink monitor just displays green.  Using an nvidia card for the first 2 monitors.
[22:41] <pgib> Fyodorovna, sure, there is an "Upgrades" tab, but it just lets you set the auto-update rules. It doesn't actually allow one to manually check for upgrade (at least not that I see)
[22:41] <Simkin> and wont' help if the volume of traffic increases

[22:42] <phaidros> hi, anyone has this strange problem as well? : sometimes (not always) when switching between user profiles in 12.04 system goes to sleep instead of switich user ..
[22:42] <phaidros> any hints?
[22:42] <phaidros> (apport seems not able to collect data on that bug)
[22:43] <Fyodorovna> pgib, correct it sounds like in general something went amiss if you had it set correctly. Could be a user error in here I suspect in understanding how this works, just a guess though. :)
[22:43] <Scroggins10> Is anybody here not busy?
[22:44] <pgib> Fyodorovna, possibly so since everything moves each time a new release it put out
[22:44] <pgib> Scroggins10, just ask
[22:44] <mohamedtouj> how can i make my ubuntu faster ???
[22:45] <Fyodorovna> Scroggins10, the channel goes as ask your question and you will find out. :)
[22:45] <MarcN> mohamedtouj, add more memory!
[22:45] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: add better cpu
[22:45] <mohamedtouj> on software
[22:45] <Scroggins10> Is it possible to create a text file that lists all directories in a specific directory?
[22:45] <pgib> mohamedtouj, methamphetamine
[22:45] <jackjackw> mohamedtouj, use a lightweight windows manager instead of gnome
[22:45] <phaidros> Scroggins10: ls -alR /path/ > /path/to/file.txt
[22:45] <jackjackw> something like fluxbox or enlightenment uses virtually no resources
[22:45] <Scroggins10> Thank you
[22:45] <mohamedtouj> how ?
[22:46] <jackjackw> google is your friend
[22:46] <pgib> mohamedtouj, also, you may not want to use OpenGL acceleration based on your video card, and perhaps you don't have much ram and the system is paging to death - it really just depends
[22:46] <Scroggins10> So is Xchat
[22:46] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: apt-get install xfce for example
[22:46] <pgib> fluxbox ;)
[22:46] <mohamedtouj> i use Lubuntu
[22:46] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: look for window managers in your package installer
[22:46] <jackjackw> pgib; you know this
[22:46] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: if you use lubuntu, you should run lxde already, which is *pretty lightweight
[22:46] <pgib> mohamedtouj, not. You will need to switch the window manager you use from the desktop manager (the login screen)
[22:47] <pgib> s/not/note/
[22:47] <jackjackw> snot
[22:47] <phaidros> jackjackw: stop trolling ;)
[22:47] <mohamedtouj> i don't like any graphics just i like performance
[22:47] <jackjackw> then definately take a look at fluxbox
[22:47] <pgib> mohamedtouj, you may just want to try logging out, and then maybe try "Gnome 2D" as well..
[22:47] <wawowe> mohamedtouj: evilwm :)
[22:47] <pgib> or "Ubuntu 2d"
[22:47] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: you wanna look for "tiling window manager" there are some or fluxbox|openbox|bluebox
[22:48] <arand> Scroggins10: If you specifically want just the directories, it would be "find dir/ -type d"
[22:48] <jackjackw> which is best for ubuntu phaidros; im currently using fluxbox + aterm
[22:48] <jackjackw> all made to look pretty
[22:48] <phaidros> Scroggins10: and only files with "find path/ -type f"
[22:48] <pgib> Scroggins10, more specifically: find path -type d > listing.txt
[22:48] <Celltech> uname -r shows me on 3.2.0-24... Can I 'remove' -23 safely
[22:49] <phaidros> jackjackw: if you dont mind a steap learning curve, try awesome or one of the other tiling window managers, pretty fast, pretty keyboard friendly
[22:49] <wawowe> Celltech: yes
[22:49] <Celltech> Awesome. Thank you
[22:49] <phaidros> jackjackw: if you ask between *box .. I think they are all the same more or less
[22:49] <jackjackw> awesome you say? are we talking c++ learning curve or python learning curve here? :o
[22:49] <wawowe> lxde is using openbox
[22:50] <dashavoo> I don't really know what I am expecting... miracle maybe... but here I go:
[22:50] <phaidros> Celltech: try purge instead of remove .. :)
[22:50] <Celltech> I'm going through synaptic
[22:50] <phaidros> jackjackw: hm, either was it haskell or lua
[22:50] <dashavoo> all of my important files have vanished... I doubt anyone can tell me how to recover them, but can anyone at least give me an idea of how?
[22:50] <mohamedtouj> how can i see my graphic card nvidia installed o not ?
[22:50] <Celltech> Is there a better way to do it?
[22:50] <EM3RY> I've been doing PXE install's and my network settings done come out like they should for a desktop, could someone pastebin me a /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf from a default 12 install?
[22:50] <phaidros> jackjackw: as one of those was used to uses & configure the one (cant remember which used which, there are quite a handful)
[22:51] <wawowe> dashavoo: how did they vanish?
[22:51] <dashavoo> my entire music collection (most of which I still have the physical media for somewhere), my entire photo collection (no backups, lots of memories)
[22:51] <MarcN> dashavoo, so what did you do that may have lost all your files? Where they all under /home/?
[22:51] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: to test for 3d performace try "glxinfo | grep direct" if that says yes the driver is running
[22:51] <jackjackw> =D
[22:51] <pgib> dashavoo, where were they located?
[22:51] <dashavoo> wawowe: I'mnot sure how they vanished. They were under /home, on a separate partition to my OS
[22:52] <mneptok> dashavoo: is that partition actually mounted?
[22:52] <pgib> dashavoo, ahha.. perhaps your home partition isn't being mounted.
[22:52] <wawowe> dashavoo: is the partition mounted?
[22:52] <phaidros> dashavoo: check "mount" to see if the partition is mounted
[22:52] <phaidros> lol
[22:52] <pgib> dashavoo, check "mount" output in the consol
[22:52] <rootnoobtux> i just installed Apache and MySQL i'm new to ubuntu, my question is how can i get Apache and MySQL icon to control `em like in windows? in windows i can see the Apache running and MySQL in the lower left of the screen aligned in the clock how about in ubuntu?
[22:52] <dashavoo> mneptok: I have unmounted it since it happened. Not every file is gone, but a lot of them
[22:52] <wumfi> sorry been AFK - did anyone respond to my sound question?
[22:52] <dashavoo> some of the files that vanished were dot files, it was when firefox started with a new profile that I noticed something was amiss
[22:52] <phaidros> rootnoobtux: open terminal, cd /etc/apache, sudo -s :)
[22:53] <pgib> dashavoo: mkdir ~/oldhome; sudo mount /dev/oldhomedevice ~you/oldhome
[22:53] <mneptok> dashavoo: an fsck may be in order.
[22:53] <mohamedtouj> my nvidia card not installed i install it i get 800*600 just this choice in resolution
[22:53] <dashavoo> there doesn't seem to be a pattern to what vanished and what didn't
[22:53] <rootnoobtux> phaedra,  no not in terminal :(
[22:54] <phaidros> dashavoo: using SSD hard drive?
[22:54] <dashavoo> phaidros: no, spinny one
[22:54] <pgib> mohamedtouj, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[22:54] <mohamedtouj> direct rendering: Yes  this mean my card installed ?
[22:54] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: yes
[22:54] <pgib> phaidros, well it means *a* card with DRI is installed
[22:54] <phaidros> pgib: you are right
[22:54] <dashavoo> I tried running extundelete, it recovered a couple of things but mostly complained about things that weren't files
[22:55] <phaidros> dashavoo: so  the files got deleted before .. this means you are more or less doomed
[22:55] <mikubuntu> ok, im going crazy.  i don't understand HOW you can have NO system tray?  WHERE in the hell do things go when they are minimized?  WHAT is this dark sorcery?
[22:55] <mohamedtouj> but :'( counter strike dosen't work under WINE :'( also PLAYONLINUX please solution
[22:55] <phaidros> mikubuntu: which ubuntu version?
[22:56] <pgib> mikubuntu, is that you from LMMS land? this is Paul G
[22:56] <mikubuntu> 12.04 phaidros
[22:56] <dashavoo> phaidros: before what? I'm not sure what you meant
[22:56] <wylde> mohamedtouj: #winehq
[22:56] <phaidros> dashavoo: if extundelete finds things it means they got deleted by something like an "rm -rf" command
[22:56] <mikubuntu> pgib i know not of LMMS
[22:57] <pgib> ok. just wondering - we used to have a really enthusiastic user with the same username
[22:57] <metals> is Suspend the Windows Stand By mode in Ubuntu?
[22:57] <dashavoo> phaidros: that is what I assumed, judging by the things that it picked up
[22:57] <phaidros> dashavoo: sorry to say, but extundelete seems your last hope.
[22:57] <schultza> how do i install a key for a repository
[22:57] <Fyodorovna> mikubuntu, if you want help here your language tone and content is going to have some not respond, just a heads up. ")
[22:57] <redfox_> hello
[22:58] <dashavoo> :( I thought as much... any idea how it could have happened?
[22:58] <pgib> dashavoo, assuming, of course, you really do, honest to God, have the partition in question mounted where you think it is mounted
[22:58] <phaidros> dashavoo: or, dont touch disk at all again and go to a professional rscue service and pray they do know about extX fs and dont charge more than twice your bank account :/
[22:58] <arand> metals: suspend usually means saving the computer state in RAM, and consuming minimal amounts of power, I have no ide about the windows terminology.
[22:58] <dashavoo> phaidros: my bank balance is negative, so that option is out
[22:58] <schultza> nevermind
[22:58] <pgib> Tech: "Dur.. I know what is wrong with the HDD. It doesn't have NTFS on it! I fixed it and did a full format. Don't worry!"
[22:59] <Fyodorovna> metals, probably a good analogy but you can look up suspend if you like.
[22:59] <metals> Kinda Hibernation?
[22:59] <jgharris> Suspend = Sleep to me
[22:59] <phaidros> suspend is like standby, yes
[22:59] <pgib> arand, IIRC linux suspend = sleep.  suspend to disk = hibernate
[22:59] <mikubuntu> Fyodorovna WHAT language tone and content?  :)  I'm just freaking out because i have no systray and i don't know where whole continents of windows disappear to when they minimize.
[23:00] <arand> pgib: Though normally suspend and hibernate are used to distingush them.
[23:00] <phaidros> mikubuntu: which desktop environment? unity? gnome? lxde?
[23:00] <ki4ro> mikubuntu: Just hit alt-tab
[23:00] <phaidros> anyone seen this: when swithcung users in unity sometimes system just goes to sleep
[23:01] <pgib> mikubuntu, the Unity interface minimizes windows to the left icon bar I believe.  But I don't use Unity because I find it awful (although the new HUD is nice)
[23:01] <mikubuntu> phaidros i have all on my laptop, but lxde (lubuntu?) seems not to work since update
[23:01] <spaceneedle> The user theme extension is working following installation thru the webupd8.com site. Doesn't work if you install thru the gnome extensions site.
[23:01] <Fyodorovna> mikubuntu, right and people that freak out and act accusatory and also swear narow down the help, just saying, frankly I don't dare what you do I was just thinking it might help to know this info.
[23:01] <tarwich> Sorry to interrupt — I'm installing Ubuntu and the partition sizer doesn't state which side is for Ubuntu. Anyone familiar with this?
[23:01] <jackjackw> phaidros - got any good info about getting started in awesome
[23:01] <jackjackw> like any resources you can share? or do you not use it
[23:01] <Scroggins10> What would be the best web browser for ubuntu? Is firefox the best?
[23:01] <pgib> tarwich, are there any labels on the partitions "rectangles" ?
[23:01] <pgib> like "/" ?
[23:02] <Fyodorovna> s/dare/care
[23:02] <tarwich> pgib: Negative.
[23:02] <dwaynecrooks> ga .
[23:02] <ki4ro> Scroggins10: I prefer chrome
[23:02] <tarwich> However… The min is different for each.
[23:02] <pgib> tarwich, tried clicking on one?
[23:02] <phaidros> jackjackw: I used to use it, imho the arch linux guys have some awesome docs about awesome .. rofl
[23:02] <rootnoobtux> phaedra,  no not in terminal :(
[23:02] <f0urtyfive> hello
[23:02] <mikubuntu> ki4ro: nope, nothing happens for me with alt tab
[23:02] <f0urtyfive> Does anyone know how I could stripe 5 block devices into a new virtual device without writing to them? :D
[23:02] <Scroggins10> Yeah I prefer chrome as well, some people have told me it's garbage... has anyone tried opera? I hear it's the best
[23:03] <jackjackw> lmao, cheers phaidros
[23:03] <ki4ro> mikubuntu: How about pushing the mouse all the way to the left hard
[23:03] <phaidros> rootnoobtux: cant help you there, as I never ever felt like needing icons for apache / mysql in linux. honestly
[23:03] <mikubuntu> ki4ro: nope, nada
[23:04] <ki4ro> mikubuntu: Hmmm...sorry to say that's the limit of my ideas
[23:04] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: hmmm, mdadm docs might help. read carefully
[23:04] <Lazure> i need help. switch user got me stuck at the lightdm logon screen in 12.04, and it just sits there saying 'logging in...' forever.
[23:04] <Lazure> the session is already running and i can't get back into it to save anything to do anything with my open windows
[23:04] <Guest61618> hi i installed ubuntu as a dual boot i recieved a error and not it freezes any ideas ?
[23:04] <Lazure> because i'm stuck at the logon area.
[23:05] <rootnoobtux> ah ok...and phaedra  just wanna ask somethin then how do i know what i've input on mysql and apache!? coz i forgot all of those infos i've input while installing it thanx
[23:05] <phaidros> mikubuntu: without telling what desktop environment you have actually running people here can only wild guess on their glass sphere ;)
[23:05] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: I've tried a few times with mdadm, it seems theres no way to create anything w/o writing a superblock
[23:05] <Lazure> the only keyboard input it responds to is up and down to change between user, the only mouse input it responds to is the 'shutdown' button on the upper right (whicha ctually fails to shut down, too)
[23:05] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: I think the only think you could do would be write your own block device driver :(
[23:05] <Lazure> i literally can only hard shut off the system, i can't seem to get back to my running user session or anything.
[23:05] <Datz> hi, I'm using gnome-session-fallback. The workspace switcher has a few difficulties. 1. It's only showing the first workspace. 2. The workspaces are stuck in a square fashion which I don't want. Any ideas?
[23:06] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: hm, maybe loop devices might help .. I used to do some crazy things with them, but would have to read all the docs again
[23:06] <Lazure> i know those apps are running still because i went into a terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 and looked at the processes. seems lightdm is broken in 12.04 and it screws up on switch user now
[23:06] <spaceneedle> Lazure:switch to the 32-bit version of Ubuntu.
[23:06] <schultza> how do i install gnome 3?
[23:06] <mikubuntu> phaidros, at least they have a glass sphere -- i have nothing ... lol ... i'm running gnome3 desktop on pangolin for the last couple hours
[23:06] <Lazure> i'm using 32-bit version, tho i have 4gb of RAM, i actually was going to install 64-bit because of that.
[23:07] <phaidros> Lazure: nope. you always can get to a console with CTRL-ALT-F1 , there you can login and "sudo reboot" at least not hard rebooting
[23:07] <Lazure> i have gnome-shell installed as a DE
[23:07] <Fyodorovna> !reisub
[23:07] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: as far as I can tell all you can do with loop dev is offset, which I'm using
[23:07] <Fyodorovna> Datz, ^^^^
[23:07] <phaidros> mikubuntu: gnome3 is not ubuntu standard, thats why all the hints dindt work
[23:07] <phaidros> mikubuntu: try #gnome
[23:07] <mnogueira> hi
[23:07] <mnogueira> hello
[23:08] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: !!!! http://code.google.com/p/pyraid/wiki/HOWTO
[23:08] <Guest61618> hi i installed ubuntu as a dual boot i recieved a error and now it freezes when i have more than one programme open also tried to find away to del other os any ideas ?
[23:08] <schultza> be back
[23:08] <Lazure> is there any way to reset just lightdm without killing the user's session?
[23:08] <mnogueira> hello
[23:09] <mikubuntu> phaidros, do you know any reason why lubuntu desktop will not work right in 12.04?  when i try to run it as desktop i just get the blue screen of death
[23:09] <Fyodorovna> Lazure, check the bots info on REISUB.    sorry Datz
[23:09] <Datz> ok :)
[23:09] <Datz> I was wondering how that might help me :p
[23:09] <mnogueira> Is there a way to talk (i mean, by voice)?
[23:09] <wawowe> Lazure: /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
[23:09] <wawowe> something like that anyway
[23:09] <wawowe> oh
[23:09] <Lazure> wawowe > hmm, wonder if i can get a terminal to popup
[23:09] <Lazure> in lightdm lol
[23:10] <wawowe> without killing the users session
[23:10] <mikubuntu> phaidros this is the page i was trying to follow to get systray, but it din't work either    http://www.micahcarrick.com/3-taskbars-for-gnome-3.html
[23:10] <ratcheer> mnogueira, Hello. What can we do for you?
[23:11] <Guest61618> is there a way to install ubuntu as a fresh os on a laptop that does not load from usb ?
[23:11] <mnogueira> Guys, I need some help at the following: I just downloaded Fedora 16 DVD, and when i try to install it starts Anaconda with a big resolution (part of the image out of the screen) so I cant proceed
[23:11] <wawowe> Lazure: why would you want a terminal to popup in lightwm :P
[23:11] <IdleOne> mnogueira: try #fedora
[23:11] <mnogueira> Is there a way to start anaconda with 1024x768?
[23:12] <dimitri> hy, i installed a new release of ubuntu 12.04 near the last 11.04
[23:12] <Lazure> wawowe > so i could execute commands like that =p
[23:12] <dimitri> after restart i have a problem
[23:12] <Lazure> but oh well, i did the REISUB thing and rebooted. have to start over on something i had open ><
[23:12] <OerHeks> Guest61618, burn an iso on cd
[23:12] <dimitri> error: no such device
[23:12] <Lazure> i guess i can no longer trust 'switch user'
[23:12] <dimitri> grub rescue
[23:12] <Lazure> it was working perfectly until recently.
[23:12] <Fyodorovna> dimitri, do you have more then one HD?
[23:12] <Guest61618> i also dont have  a cd drive OerHeks
[23:12] <mnogueira> sorry, may i try another channel?
[23:13] <dimitri> Fyodorovna, yes
[23:13] <dimitri> i have 3 hd
[23:13] <ratcheer> mnogueira, Yes, please join #fedora
[23:13] <Fyodorovna> dimitri, It may be that the grub bootloader was put in the other HD try booting it first.
[23:13] <mnogueira> Thanks ratcheer
[23:14] <dimitri> Fyodorovna, give me the way. i don't know how try it
[23:14] <Guest61618> OerHeks so no Cd drive and wont read usb as an iso/pendrive on start up is there another option /
[23:14] <ubuntu> hello guys, what is a bad sector on hard drive ? I have around 16000, is it fixable ? I am on live usb right now
[23:15] <dimitri> i have grub rescue > prompt
[23:15] <tehnef> ubuntu: bad sectors are not fixable, no. you should do everything you can to back up your most important files and then replace the drive.
[23:15] <Fyodorovna> dimitri, in  the bios you can choose the hd you want booted first.
[23:16] <OerHeks> Guest61618 if it won't boot from usb, i don't know, sorry.
[23:16] <ubuntu> tehnef: thank you very much for precise answer !
[23:16] <dimitri> but before the installation all is right
[23:16] <ubuntu> I cant boot anything off it haha
[23:16] <Guest61618> thanks anyway OerHeks
[23:16] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, are you awafre of the out of the bios boot from menu?
[23:16] <Guest61618> looks like im stuck with xp :(
[23:16] <Fyodorovna> s/awafre/aware
[23:16] <Zopiac_> Has anyone gotten a webcam application to focus webcams? I've been trying to get this to work for a long time with no success
[23:16] <Guest61618> sorry Fyodorovna?
[23:17] <Resistance> Guest61618: <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, are you aware of the out of the bios boot from menu?
[23:17] <Resistance> Guest61618: your system might not automatically check USB removable media before the hard drive
[23:17] <Resistance> you may need to tell it to boot from the USB device
[23:17] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, hehe with that answer I assume you do not know. at powering on try f12 and look at the bios as it goes by and it may tell you the key prompts for this menu.
[23:18] <tehnef> ubuntu: that's not surprising. you may not be able to mount the volumes on it, but it's worth a try to get your data. if you don't care about the data (e.g. have a backup), it's probably not worth wasting time troubleshooting.
[23:18] <Guest61618> Fyodorovna i have went into bios chose fdd and cd-rom as first boot priority and nothing happens it boots straight to xp lol
[23:18] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618,  f12 may bring up that menu
[23:18] <uqx> Anyone else having freeze/lockup problems when playing nexuiz with an NVidia on 12.04?
[23:18] <mikubuntu> ok, i guess i figured out where things hide on minimize
[23:19] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, common problem that is whay I am telling you this it is another method used.
[23:19] <mbucko> does anyone know any good guide on how to set up partitions so that you can share installed programs and home with different distros?
[23:19] <Guest61618> its a complicated computer its a laptop/tablet so different to a 'normal' laptop when f12 is pressed it does nothing have to hit esc then f1 to get bios
[23:19] <uqx> do I need to file a bug on launchpad for this problem?
[23:19] <Fyodorovna> s/whay/why
[23:19] <mikubuntu> why are screensavers disabled in 12.04?
[23:19] <en1gma> i have 11.04 desktop installed (just did it from cd) it wants to dist-upgrade to 11.10 before doing 12.04. is there anyway to tell it to go straight to 12.04
[23:20] <uqx> en1gma, update-manager -d
[23:20] <en1gma> from a terminal?
[23:20] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, if you realy want to use ubuntu look on line for the boot from menu on that computer model or manufacturer computers
[23:20] <Guest61618> its a complicated computer its a laptop/tablet so different to a 'normal' laptop when f12 is pressed it does nothing have to hit esc then f1 to get bios << Fyodorovna
[23:20] <Jordan_U> en1gma: uqx: No. You can't skip releases during upgrades except from one LTS to the next.
[23:21] <phaidros> mikubuntu: cant help you there as I neither use lxde nor gnome3
[23:21] <newby> i try to write to /etc/apt/sources.list with a /bin/sh script via /etc/apt/sources <<EOF   blah blubb EOF as root. Why do i get permissions denied?
[23:21] <phaidros> newby: as root or via sudo?
[23:21] <newby> both
[23:21] <en1gma> that sucks
[23:21] <ubuntu> tehnef ok dude, thanks again xD its my friend's laptop, I have installed ubuntu on it 1 day before and 2 days later windows crashed and drive got corrupted, he thinks ubuntu dual boot screwed it (his newbie with linux) linux usb boot said it was fixing partition that windows crashed damaged it, its a hardware failure I Am pretty sure it?
[23:21] <phaidros> en1gma: do-release-upgrade
[23:21] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, also just so you know this has nothing to do with the bios other then it may tell you the actual keys to hit to get to the menu outside of the bios
[23:21] <tehnef> ubuntu: bad sectors? definitely a hardware failure.
[23:22] <en1gma> from a terminal?
[23:22] <ichat> can anyone hel me getting 12.04 boot into grafics mode...  the fact that it no longer ships with  proper nvidia drivers makes ubuntu extreamly worthless to get install... difficult tricky and very unsatisfying :(  and basically im out of ideas
[23:22] <ubuntu> tehnef yep he was trying to give me bt :D
[23:22] <Guest61618> ok Fyodorovna thanks for ya help :)
[23:22] <phaidros> en1gma: yes
[23:22] <phaidros> en1gma: sudo do-release-upgrade maybe
[23:22] <mikubuntu> phaidros, thx ... just can't understand why they would disable screensavers which i guess protect the screen
[23:22] <newby> phaidros: i tried to invoke the script as root aswell as with sodo. whoami told me it runs under root account. still getting permissions denied??
[23:22] <Guest61618> am thinking im gettin a HDD caddy so can put bigger hdd in that an load to that instead :)
[23:22] <aardmark> hello all - I'm trying to install the latest gimp (2.8) using apt-get, however the latest version it gets is 2.6. Is there a way to use apt to install the latest 'n greatest?
[23:23] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, no problem, it can seem confusing if your not aware of this other menu. :)
[23:23] <en1gma> looks like its gonna do oneric still
[23:23] <phaidros> mikubuntu: I dont understand what your problem exactly is, nor what you are referring to, tho I dont use the software you have problems with neither, sry dude :)
[23:23] <schultza> hwo do you unlock the fallback gnome classic?
[23:23] <schultza> er.. the menus...
[23:23] <Lazure> aardmark > i had that problem too, i just had to add a ppa to get it
[23:23] <Lazure> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/gimp-2-8-released/
[23:24] <Lazure> bottom of that page tells ya what to do
[23:24] <Lazure> not sure when/if it ends up on the official ubuntu repos =S
[23:24] <aardmark> Lazure > thanks so much! will check it out
[23:24] <phaidros> Lazure: days to months .. depends :)
[23:24] <Lazure> it worked for me tho
[23:24] <mikubuntu> not important, really ... no major problems to worry about today so i'm happy
[23:24] <arand> aardmark: gimp 2.8 is not in Ubuntu yet, nor will it be untill the next release, a PPA would be the option.
[23:24] <mikubuntu> later gaters
[23:24] <aardmark> phaidros / lazure / arand > great. I appreciate it!
[23:25] <phaidros> :)
[23:25] <phaidros> hm, I really like the ubuntu terminal font, smileys look great :D
[23:26] <nwp_> I upgraded from oneiric to precise and now my e1000 card does not work with 3.2 kernel. Any pointers on how to fix?
[23:26] <anonymous3141593> ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
[23:26] <newby> phaidros: I really dont understand why i get perms denied can you look at it? here it it http://pastebin.com/hZPkhrnB
[23:27] <phaidros> newby: please ask in #bash for that
[23:27] <arand> Urgh, not even supplying a link to the PPA information page, same old abandon as always...
[23:27] <arand> (In reference to omgubuntu)
[23:28] <phaidros> newby: you might want to use cat
[23:28] <Praxi> Where is a good place to ask about rails ide's on ubuntu.  Specifically, I want a notepad++ style thing that looks like this http://imagebin.org/210869 but without all the bloat.  ie tabbed editor, file explorer thing on the left, console/terminal on the bottom.  syntax? highlighting for the editor.  I tried Jedit, but its file explorer was hideous
[23:29] <aardmark> Praxi > I recommend exploring komodo
[23:29] <phaidros> newby: in line 7 try "cat /etc/apt/sources.list <<EOF"
[23:29] <aardmark> praxi > it doesn't have a console (as far as I know), but it's pretty fancy with capabilities
[23:30] <Praxi> mainly I just want something fast with a nice file explorer, been using eclipse with a aptana plugin, but it feels slow and kludgy
[23:30] <phaidros> newby: otherwise bash tries to run /etc/apt/sources.list as command, which of course has no executable flag, hence permission denied
[23:31] <aardmark> praxi > Komodo has a great feel (imo) and it's fast too. take a look see
[23:31] <Praxi> will do, thank you aardmark
[23:31] <phaidros> Praxi: you might want to ask in #rails
[23:31] <tarwich> Anyone ever seen Ubuntu not specify what space is being used for? http://cl.ly/3a2p222j0p0s2z0O1O0c
[23:32] <Praxi> k ty phaidros
[23:32] <ichat> ho do i install  the nvidia binairy drivers... since  9.10 ubuntu doen't even properly boot into  vga mode on my gfoce 6200 chip (laptop) - so i cant login to crafical and presise doenst let me boot into  cli...    ho to get this working?

[23:32] <aardmark> does anyone know of a photo album management application (ie decent rivals of iphoto / picasa) that works well on ubuntu?
[23:32] <systematical> Hello. I am having problems installing php5-dev on ubuntu 11.10 because it relies on libssl-dev which cant be installed because of this error: libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (= 1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.5) but 1.0.0e-2.1 is to be installed
[23:32] <phaidros> aardmark: tried the included one?
[23:33] <systematical> Anyone have some advice?
[23:33] <tarwich> How about http://bit.ly/Ky6zPF
[23:33] <jrib> aardmark: the default one? shotwell?
[23:34] <dale> How can I change the unity launcher to sit at the bottom?
[23:34] <aardmark> haven't tried it yet - I have over 100 GB of pictures importing right now, just curious what my options were.. I'll try shotwell out
[23:34] <phaidros> tarwich: I dont underste
[23:34] <phaidros> tarwich: I dont understand the question
[23:34] <aardmark> thanks jrib / phaidros
[23:34] <juanchi> hi guys, Im running oneiric here... after changing my Gnome-shell to E17.. gtk 3, clutter apps have no integration... even if I set the path to the gtk3 theme, It will no get loaded, what can Ido?
[23:34] <tarwich> Well this is the installer that came with the Ubuntu distro… And it doesn't say what the slider is changing.
[23:34] <tarwich> phaidros:  The disks should have labels or something
[23:35] <phaidros> tarwich: oha, thats bitchy indeed :)
[23:35] <phaidros> tarwich: probably the OSX skin with minimal information detail :D
[23:35] <vexaxv> hey guys im using ubuntu 12.04 how do i tell which version of opengl im using?
[23:35] <bandit5432> here is a question for you photo geeks opinions Xrite CMUNDIS ColorMunki Display or Datacolor Spyder4Express using argyll?
[23:36] <tarwich> phaidros: It's funny… I just assumed Ubuntu will install to the right, and I'm about to test it.
[23:36] <vexaxv> my gpu has 3.1 opengl support and i wanted to know if im utilizing it with ubuntu 12.04
[23:36] <countz> Hi!
[23:36] <countz> Can someone explain to me the concept of notifications becoming blurry when I mouse-over them?
[23:37] <graft> countz: so you can see what's behind them
[23:37] <phaidros> tarwich: tried the "advance partitioning tool" ?
[23:37] <Praxi> lol countz I'm with ya, coming from windows, I want to click on the thing and bring up whatever program is associated with it :)
[23:37] <tarwich> phaidros: That works perfectly, but I don't know "how to use it"
[23:37] <newby> phaidros: if i run it with "cat /etc/apt/sources.list <<EOF" on line 7 it only cats the content of /etc/apt/sources.list to the terminal
[23:37] <countz> graft: but they also don't go away when I mouse over, they remain there forever
[23:37] <countz> Praxi: I come from the Mac where clicking on it brings the relevant app to the foreground
[23:38] <tarwich> phaidros: It wants me to setup the swap + boot + root partitions all manually and I have no idea how.
[23:38] <lotrpy> hello, I want to customize ubuntu cd, modify source.list, add some package when install, and make it a unattended(automatic) iso. which document should I read?
[23:38] <MrCongress> What's the most complicated task you can do on terminal command?
[23:38] <bandit5432> lotrpy, look at ubuntubuilder
[23:38] <anonymous3141593> lotrpy: check out ubuntu customization kit
[23:38] <Zopiac_> MrCongress: Anything you can think of, pretty much
[23:38] <phaidros> newby: sry, cat > /etc/apt/sources.list <<EOF
[23:38] <MrCongress> What are the benefits of knowing the terminal?
[23:38] <Praxi> countz, ya exactly :)  if you don't put your mouse over it, it normally goes away on its own.  ubuntu tweak probably has something to change the hover time,  but have never looked.
[23:38] <lotrpy> bandit5432 and anonymous3141593, thanks, let me check.
[23:39] <anonymous3141593> woah ubuntu builder looks awesome, gonna try that out
[23:39] <phaidros> tarwich: hm, indeed unexpected behaviour ..
[23:39] <Zopiac_> MrCongress: Insane levels of diagnostics, great performance of tasks, and extremely versatile
[23:39] <MrCongress> Thanks that was great
[23:39] <tarwich> MrCongress: In the terminal things tend to not move so much. In a GUI, you have to know WHAT a button does, and it might get moved or renamed later, meaning you have to relearn it. In terminal the commands tend to stay the same.
[23:39] <phaidros> MrCongress: for bomb
[23:39] <phaidros> MrCongress: forkbomb
[23:40] <MrCongress> tarwich: , implying what
[23:40] <taxman> i wrote a forkbomb in bash
[23:40] <bandit5432> anonymous3141593, its coming along nicely have been using it for a couple of months
[23:40] <simplew> can anyone help me with text installer, i cant go with encrypted partitions
[23:40] <MrCongress> I plan to learn every technical aspect of it
[23:40] <Igmu> I lost sound somewhere from 10.04 live cd to install & upgrade to 12.04 lts. I tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863271 but no sound. Can I get help troubleshooting?
[23:40] <Zopiac_> MrCongress: That's quite the large undertaking
[23:40] <walbert> MrCongress: It really depends on how much you use your computer, and what kind of work you do.  If you don't care about doing much other than checking Facebook - there's probably not much for you.
[23:41] <en1gma> sucks that this old laptop dont let me boot from usb (where my 12.04 is) i only have an 11.04 cd...im gonna have to do a dist upgrade to 11.10 and then to 12.04 can someone recommend a fast repo
[23:41] <phaidros> MrCongress: look for "aliens bash tutorial" for a start
[23:41] <MrCongress> I plan on building a search engine with ubuntu
[23:41] <MrCongress> If linux can sharpen my mind in the process, then great.
[23:42] <walbert> MrCongress: You'll have to learn a whole lot more than "Terminal" for that :)
[23:42] <Zopiac_> Has anyone gotten a webcam application to focus webcams? I've been trying to get this to work for a long time with no success
[23:42] <theborger> what does everyone use to stream mp3, on there local LAN?
[23:42] <phaidros> walbert: saerch engine in bash seems possible.
[23:42] <phaidros> theborger: mpd
[23:42] <Zopiac_> phaidros: I'd like to see that
[23:43] <phaidros> Zopiac_: given enoug cores and ram you can do anything in bash :D
[23:43] <Zopiac_> :D
[23:43] <Praxi> Zopiac_, zoneminder?
[23:43] <ichat> can anyone help me figure out how to get my system GF6200, to boot into grafic mode..
[23:43] <simplew> can anyone help me with text installer, i cant go with encrypted partitions
[23:44] <Zopiac_> Praxi: I'll check it out
[23:44] <arand> en1gma: I think you can let the software sources application choose the faster for you
[23:44] <phaidros> simplew: what do you mean by "i can't go with"
[23:44] <Praxi> Zopiac_, probably way overkill but they do have a very helpful irc channel with people who talk ALOT about cameras
[23:44] <TH0MAS_> im looking for some help with vsftpd
[23:44] <TH0MAS_> if possible
[23:44] <phaidros> TH0MAS_: dont ask to ask
[23:45] <LinuxGuy2009> I have some offline machines that I downloaded the entire Lucid repository for. I have the packages sorted in folders such as main, multiverse, restricted, universe. The packages started out all in the root of each folder of the section it belongs in. (No idea if this is correct thinking or practice.) I am using reprepro and am currently running it in each of these folders to create a proper organized package pool. My question is how do 
[23:45] <Zopiac_> Praxi: All right, thanks. Nothing has been able to get this logitech sphere to focus, not even guvcview
[23:45] <simplew> [phaidros] in the install i have created the encrypted partitions but when i choose to activate encrypted partitions returns to main partition menu and does not ask for the passphrase
[23:46] <phaidros> simplew: hm, strange. try redoing the whole thing. sry, cant rememeber the exact steps and so cant tell you if that behaviour you are experienceing is expected
[23:46] <jagginess> driconf fails..
[23:46] <jagginess> :// ?
[23:46] <en1gma> that is cool just did that. thanks
[23:47] <BlueJayWay> Good evening, everyone.
[23:47] <TH0MAS_> What is the best way to manage user permissions for vsftpd
[23:47] <TH0MAS_> I have it using local users for logins
[23:47] <TH0MAS_> I want certain users to be able to access other folders in the home directory
[23:48] <WOLFRAM> Have no fear, Wolfram is here
[23:48] <TH0MAS_> I see no way to control this
[23:48] <lc> ok
[23:48] <wawowe> TH0MAS_: folders outside of their home directories?
[23:48] <TH0MAS_> yes
[23:48] <WOLFRAM> Mathematica > Ubuntu, says Wolfram
[23:49] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: fyi your first instinct was right, i couldnt get it to work with mdadm --create, but mdadm --build creates a raid w/o writing anything :)
[23:49] <wiherek> how can I check which processes start at boot (via terminal?)
[23:49] <MrCongress> Who is considered the best problem solver on ubuntu?
[23:49] <dale> Anyone know how to change the launcher to be at the bottom?
[23:49] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: yeah!
[23:49] <TH0MAS_> right now they are not stuck int he home directory they can move around
[23:49] <BlueJayWay> MrCongress, he's name is kaned.
[23:49] <BlueJayWay> his
[23:49] <MrCongress> need to study him
[23:49] <TH0MAS_> but they cant get into some directories which I would like them to be able to
[23:50] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: so, setup loop devices with the offset to avoid the metadata, create a raid with the right stripe size with mdadm --build, and I have hardware ARECA raid running in software :D
[23:50] <WOLFRAM> There would be no problems in a mathematica world
[23:50] <newby> phaidros:  you were almost right i jut had to redirect the output of cat to the file with "cat > /etc/apt/sources.list <<EOF"
[23:50] <Myrtti> !offtopic | MrCongress, WOLFRAM
[23:50] <WOLFRAM> just saying
[23:50] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: *snicker* thats fonny :)
[23:50] <wawowe> TH0MAS_: I don't think there is an option for that, but I would give the special users all the same home directory and put the directory tree you want them to have access to in there
[23:50] <MrCongress> sorry can i talk to u in pm about it Myrtti
[23:50] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: it probably would be funny if my raid 10 didnt fail :(
[23:50] <phaidros> newby: I wrote just that as my last answer 1o minutes ago ;)
[23:50] <TH0MAS_> would it be better to use a different FTP server
[23:51] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: I bear with ya
[23:51] <WOLFRAM> !rude | Myrtti
[23:51] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: now backups, later redo the whole box ... I hate those days :)
[23:51] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: lol
[23:51] <aperson> PENISFACE
[23:51] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: currently the plan is to squeeze every bit I can off the failed disk :/
[23:52] <phaidros> THOMAS_: if you dont need ftp I would recommend sftp/scp jails with openssh.
[23:52] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: THEN backups
[23:52] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: thats the category "backup"
[23:52] <phaidros> ah~!
[23:52] <phaidros> uh
[23:52] <phaidros> bad :)
[23:53] <phaidros> THOMAS_: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590
[23:53] <newby> phaidros: thank you very much that worked
[23:53] <phaidros> newby: great!
[23:53] <javierf_> Hi! I installed ubuntu 12.04 beta2 and should have now the final release. But can't get the new logoff dialog (with unity look-like) neither data time new appeareance. Shouldn't I have the final release if I installed every actualization since beta2? Thanks!

[23:55] <javierf_> phaidros, http://www.taringa.net/posts/linux/14320623/Ubuntu-12_04_-el-nuevo-diseno-para-configuracion.html (sorry that's in spanish). It's just the look
[23:56] <ichat> can anyone help me figure out how to get my system GF6200, to boot into grafic mode..    appending  :     vga=771    not working in grub,  any other ideas...
[23:56] <phaidros> javierf_: thats indeed fancy
[23:56] <thomas> I'm in a bit of a bind and I'm not even sure if this is were to ask but it's a start. I got a server with over 2k emails accounts (I'm trying to figure out how to find out when users last popped email from me so I can remove ones that are >6months old anyone got any advice? or point me in the right direction?
[23:56] <phaidros> javierf_: how is it triggered?
[23:57] <phaidros> thomas: you might be better of in #ubuntu-server, but I try anyways: parse logfiles, write to some kind of database and let cron do its job
[23:58] <thomas> phaidros, thanks man :)
[23:58] <javierf_> phaidros, the blog says it's just activated in the new precise. But I don't have those changes in my desktop
[23:58] <aardmark> here's a puzzler - I copied files onto a thumb-drive from a Mac, but on my ubuntu box they're all owned by 99:99, and I can't take ownership of them... my chown and chmod attempts (with sudo) don't seem to get me anywhere... thoughts?
[23:59] <eterminal> Do you have another channels for ubuntu development and special projects ?
[23:59] <simplew> [phaidros] when in the partitioning part, i first choose to encrypt the partitions and then i choose to activate them to choose the mount points?=
[23:59] <eterminal> support for the LTSP and other development ? Or im in the right channel for this ?
