While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:05] that is my issue [00:05] killswitch_: you have not been very specific, GUI login (which one, kdm, gdm, lightdm), or console? [00:05] trailblazerz11: try: sudo apt-get autoremove --force-depends libqt4-designer [00:06] lightdm [00:06] whoever: np [00:06] 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] Marcus_ Lightdm.... and I have tried searching the forums... [00:06] 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] diverdude, you need to use coreect syntax [00:06] diverdude: pdftk *.pdf output combined_name.pdf [00:07] well, how would you do it? [00:07] shape: wait on it for a bit? [00:07] and what login are you using? [00:07] I think ubunto hate me lol [00:07] killswitch_: I would start by googling customize lightdm [00:07] violinappren: returns not understood. enter that as one line right? [00:07] (maybe I can find a way to.... work around it, using how you would do it? [00:07] trism, no cat? :) [00:07] violinappren, It's been 5 minutes already, how long should I wait? [00:07] trent_: did you enable the universe repository? [00:07] violinappren, it looks like it's frozen and nothing is happening in system monitor [00:08] thx meganerd [00:08] trent_: ia32-libs-multiarch, the package which installs 32bit libraries on a 64bit system, exists in the universe repository [00:08] Resistance i dont think so ive never heard of it [00:08] killswitch_: you probably want to create a theme. I did this with kdm a long time ago [00:08] shape: hmm [00:09] all I get is customize appearance, backgrounds, etc.... um, [00:09] Resistance how do i di that? [00:09] ring0: I think cat is assumed when you don't specify [00:09] I changed the wallpaper of the bg [00:09] trent_: one sec [00:09] thanks man [00:09] and turned the auto wallpaper trasitioning off, [00:09] trailblazerz11: dpkg --purge --force-depends libqt4-designer:i386 [00:09] and turned off the guest acct. [00:09] and turned off the users list. [00:09] trailblazerz11: with sudo [00:09] 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] 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] how upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 in command line ? [00:10] Is this a gnome-player problem or all mplayer frontends.. Multimedia keys.. And Keyboard short cut keys N and V not working ? [00:10] trism, alright [00:10] aguitel: sudo do-release-upgrade [00:10] 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] violinappren, It seems like it worked "as in, it uploaded the log [00:11] Ben64, it say: no upgrade found [00:11] 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] shape: ok then, check the bug? [00:11] as far as changing the pre-defined text.... I've searched forums, google, and come up with blanks.. [00:12] Ben64, it say: No new release found [00:12] violinappren: think that worked, took a couple off the unmet dependecies, just do it again with others? [00:12] aguitel: i guess the upgrade isn't recommended yet. you can still do it with sudo do-release-upgrade -d [00:12] from the little I saw, /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf might be useful depending on the version of Ubuntu. [00:13] trailblazerz11: what remains? [00:13] Ben64, it works [00:13] Is there some way to replace h with hk in all files in a directory?

[00:23] 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. === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance [00:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/963600/ [00:23] bitplane: how did you install it?

If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [00:25] then run sudo make [00:25] and sudo make install?

[00:26] how about ext3? is ext4 better? [00:27] EvilResistance [00:27] Vuth, in general terms ext3=ext3+journal and ext4=ext3+extents (efficient storage of large files) [00:27] trent_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [00:27] okay found the unity greeter, now what? [00:27] EvilResistance: the "random blog" *is* the recommendation from the link you posted [00:27] 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] http://paste.ubuntu.com/963600/ [00:27] 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] 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] zippy314: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/FilingBugs [00:28] btrfs is pretty much not ready yet yeah? [00:28] EvilResistance: i.e. https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/blob/master/README.rst [00:28] I might have fixed it, I just removed all the qt*:i386 stuff [00:28] is there anyway to have a package that requires "ruby" to install ruby 1.9 instead of 1.8? [00:28] thanks escott [00:28] okay trism.... and if I login to my ubuntu distro as root user? [00:28] hdpb: what was the output of the file command? [00:28] vicatcu: have you actually followed what it says? if all else fails, do the "do it yourself" method [00:28] or use Java 7 [00:28] EvilResistance: anyway, when I run the script it crashes with a build error [00:29] killswitch_: you may find some useful inof at the following bot factoid [00:29] killswitch_: no comments on that, besides it isn't a good idea [00:29] Do any of you run xbmc?

[00:30] I understand that but.... sometimes I need root for some things, and very very very seldom do I use it [00:31] EvilResistance, yea i like to get the JDK [00:31] hdpb: try with /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so [00:31] killswitch_: that's what sudo and sudo -i are for :) [00:31] why does oracle have to suck [00:31] vicatcu: then use the second part of the do it yourself method [00:31] bitplane ,how to do you like it? [00:31] vicatcu: that's a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic or somewhere other than this channel. [00:31] zippy314: you're welcome [00:31] I know wylde.... but I need root very seldom for gui stuffs [00:32] killswitch_: ahh then you start your gui apps with gksu :) hehe [00:32] what file do I need to edit in unity?

[00:48] killswitch_: you got the source using sudo didn't you. heh. Save your edit elsewhere for now. [00:48] nnoooooooo [00:48] crap [00:49] killswitch_: save that to your home directory or somewhere you can write [00:49] Jordan_U: will try....just a minute [00:49] I lost access to VTs (ctrl alt F1-F6) since changing to nvidia drivers [00:49] too late now wylde [00:49] I x-ed it out, thinking I had copied it... [00:50] Hooloovoo: you could use nmap and look for anything responding on port 22 [00:50] violinappren: THANK YOU!!!! (for your patience and help!) [00:50] killswitch_: doh! For future reference, just apt-get source :) , well at least you have a good idea where to look to find those lines again :) [00:51] pepee: thanks for your help so far, I think I'n giving up and going to bed [00:51] 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] tux___: x-server* [00:51] damn it .... using gksu nautilus [00:51] urlwolf, ahh k, gn8 :) === PredsFan is now known as Forbin[NSH] [00:52] does mce remote work in ubuntu? [00:52] EvilResistance thank man pastebin is killing me [00:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/963638/plain/ [00:53] wtf... [00:53] grrrr this is angering me.... [00:53] Jordan_U: when i click prnt scrn, the screen blinks but the program to save the image never pops up [00:53] 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] can anyone help me get universe enabled, [00:53] Can anyone point me to a solution... never seen thta before [00:54] 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] runing 10.04 === Dav1d is now known as Dav1dMRC [00:54] 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] how do i uninstall ubuntu if i installed it alongside windows7?? [00:55] DJ_XCON: Odd, the same is happening with me. [00:55] be back in a bit, I needs me some coffee! :) [00:55] tux___: so i can do something like execute ssh -XC username@localhost at the top of my script? [00:55] Does anyone know how to set wine to check the executable bit rather than just running anything? [00:56] so it should now look like this, right? >> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/963645/ [00:57] 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] how do i start the control center in admin mode? [00:57] or how do i make it so i can edit my network connections? the button is greyed out? [00:57] i'm trying to follow this guidehttp://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/03/configure-permanent-static-ip-addresses-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/ [00:57] DJ_XCON: "gnome-screenshot -i" should work. (though IMHO so should gnome-screenshot without -i, I'm investigating that now). [00:57] killswitch_: I only looked at the one instance but yeah, I saw the one at line 385-388 [00:57] Jordan_U: there is no setting for "hiding the buttons" on maximize [00:58] thought it was line 530? [00:58] ??? [00:58] 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] killswitch_: looks good to me [00:58] awesome. now what? [00:58] 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] debuild -us -uc as sudo? [01:01] 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] runing 10.04 [01:01] Can anyone point me to a solution... never seen thta before === andy_ is now known as Guest24160 [01:02] tux___: aww, still won't let me connect. [01:02] now I would do sudo chown username:username /home/username/unity-greeter-0.2.8/src ? [01:02] then use debuild? [01:02] how do i remove the 'for purchase' category in software-center, so that i don't see the commercial programs anymore? [01:02] 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] tux___: if i log in to the server using the -XC flag the DISPLAY var is still not set [01:03] killswitch_: you would have to include -R in the chown command [01:03] so how do I do this trism? [01:03] oh great [01:03] invalid operation --r [01:03] ?? [01:03] Jordan_U: here is what I want it to look like: http://imagebin.org/210725 [01:03] killswitch_: uppercase and only 1 - [01:03] ??okay got it.... [01:04] now that I did that... what? [01:04] Jordan_U: on the EEE PC, the buttons on the right, are gone....the title bar just extends the full width [01:04] 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] 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] * open ssh user@host if you can make do with just text [01:05] DJ_XCON: I can't reproduce that here using GNOME3 on a Desktop system with Ubuntu 12.04. === len is now known as Guest43460 [01:05] killswitch_: actually, the chown command should have been for /home/username/unity-greeter-0.2.8/ [01:05] tux___: thanks =) [01:05] okay... sec [01:05] done [01:05] now run debuild? [01:05] killswitch_: now make sure you are in that directory and run: debuild -uc -us -b [01:05] will that harm my current config? [01:06] 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 === beowulf is now known as hilarie [01:06] Jordan_U: thanks for trying.... [01:06] killswitch_: that will just build the package and deposit it in /home/username/ [01:06] Hooloovoo: you're welcome [01:06] okay.... installing devscripts.... [01:06] How do i go to videos folder on dev/sb [01:06] and after it's built then I restart? [01:06] sdb [01:07] or do I have to do sudo make and sudo make install? [01:07] !checkinstall | killswitch_ [01:07] killswitch_: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [01:07] killswitch_: after you build the package, install it with: sudo dpkg -i package.deb [01:07] killswitch_: don't use checkinstall, this source is already packaged [01:08] Trying to mplayer -playlist video.pls on dev/sdb [01:09] so after sudo debuild -uc -us -b i run sudo dpkg -i package.deb? [01:09] killswitch_: no sudo [01:09] 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] killswitch_: well sudo on the dpkg -i command, not debuild [01:09] okay.... and the package has it's own name or named package? [01:09] killswitch_: it will be just like the unity-greeter package from the repos, except with your 4 changes [01:10] so what happens on the LTS point releases (eg. 12.04.1)? bug fixes and solutions for common problems? [01:10] NFisher, have you triedchromium? [01:10] i still had mounting problems :P [01:11] anyone want to help me make the people in my online sreaming youtube vids not look like smurfs? [01:11] uBUXUBu, no [01:11] so dpkg -i with sudo? [01:11] killswitch_: did you already build the package? [01:11] uBUXUBu, it should work with FF as well [01:11] yes [01:11] NFisher, yes, just an option [01:11] 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] Can anyone point me to a solution... never seen thta before [01:12] runing 10.04 [01:12] killswitch_: then cd ..; and sudo dpkg -i unity-greeter*.deb; [01:12] uBUXUBu, yeah, thx anyways. [01:12] uBUXUBu, yeah, thx anyways... [01:12] cd to the Home folder, right? [01:12] its best to do a fresh install in your case ,,, at least my sincere opinion [01:12] killswitch_: yes [01:12] sk1special, try to disable the hardware acceleration right clicking the flash video and clicking on the configuration button. [01:12] Hi all, does anyone know if it is possible to make pulse audio mute all programs unless I specifically give them sound? [01:12] okay [01:12] Disk utilization is very high for a process on my machine. How can I tell which files it is accessing? [01:13] I can control sound per program, but I have yet to figure out how to automute them [01:13] NFisher, what os-version are you on? is ff up to date? is the os up to date? [01:13] uBUXUBu, (crashes in Google Chrome too) [01:13] and now after that? [01:14] is it worth the upgrade? anyone here upgraded yet? [01:14] reboot? [01:14] uBUXUBu, everything latest versions and updated .. imm on 10.4 LTS [01:14] @ david. its not even letting me click anywhere on that box [01:14] i had upgrade it and so far it is running way more faster [01:14] i like it [01:14] vicsar: will it allow you to install anything at all? [01:14] 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] ( the flash player settings box) [01:14] now I reboot Trism? [01:15] tucemiux, depends on a lot really. some people have great success, some (myself included) are having lots of problems [01:15] LTS 5 Years updates [01:15] How can I enable the config buttons that I set for my Wacom tablet? [01:15] main reason Oldsloll ... [01:15] I mean I set the buttons through the GUI but it does not seem to work, I'm I missing something? [01:15] sk1special, that happens, try to switch to unity 2d, here that allowed me to click on the check box. [01:15] oldskoolubuntu, unity [01:15] killswitch_: you don't have to reboot, you can logout, ctrl+alt+f1 login and run: sudo restart lightdm; [01:15] killswitch_: actually [01:15] okay.... [01:15] can i then switch back? and how do i do that? [01:15] killswitch_: you may just need to logout [01:16] 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] NFisher, i ssume your hardware is up to spec? [01:16] assume* [01:16] escott, what is the real benefit to unity besides the "look"? [01:17] 5 year support = stable stable and more secure [01:17] oldskoolubuntu, its a completely different environment [01:17] 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] you still can use the old look if you want [01:17] oldskoolubuntu: latest kernel, programs, security updates https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop [01:17] JayWalker_, what nvidia card youve got? [01:17] uBUXUBu, what does 'up to spec' mean? [01:17] tucemiux, Geforce go 6150. It's in my laptop. [01:18] JayWalker_, ok that's not the laptop I've got, im going to be adventerous and go for the upgrade then [01:18] ? how do i point terminal to /dev/sdb [01:18] well do you have enough resources cpu, graphics, ram...are you light on any of that? [01:18] trism.... you're amazing [01:18] Brustofski-Fan, that doesn't even make sense [01:18] tucemiux, just remember to back up all your dataz :p [01:19] 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] killswitch_: so it is all working? [01:19] yes [01:19] killswitch_: excellent [01:19] thank you so much [01:19] killswitch_: no problem [01:19] JayWalker_, thanks for the info [01:19] see, I have an fbi image for a bg login pic [01:19] wow i cant scroll my screen back [01:19] is it normal nowadays to the updates without putting your password? [01:20] so, I'm trying to make it look as official as possible.... that way, no one will mess with my computer. [01:20] 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] :) [01:20] killswitch_: nifty [01:20] 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] thank yoiu [01:20] *you [01:20] Brustofski-Fan: you need to mount the drive first [01:21] @ david. allright ill try it thank ya [01:21] 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] sk1special, ;) [01:21] NFisher, are you using proprietary drivers or open source? [01:21] it's mounted when you can open it right [01:21] Brustofski-Fan: try: mount -vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt then you can access everything on it at /mnt [01:22] uBUXUBu, nah, hardware is just fine.. i never ahd a problem with flash until recent updates from adobe [01:22] tux___, isn't mounted when it shows up all the time in nautilus [01:22] uBUXUBu, prop. [01:22] Does anyone else find ati proprietary drivers performance horribly slugish? [01:22] 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] and how do I force my ubuntu to lock an account if the password is entered wrong too many times? [01:23] Brusofski-Fan: not exactly. Mounted means the contents of the drive is accessable by your operating system. That includes the terminal. [01:23] 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] I get visual glitches after logging in, and I'm getting them now while using the latest version of playonlinux [01:24] playonlinux use wine to emulate windows if you have an integrated graphic verify your installed drivers :P [01:24] 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] 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] I would install i965-va-driver if I were you scottamunga [01:25] uBUXUBu, yeah, i can ;) [01:25] q: how can i link Master PCM and LFE audio to one slider so i can use the volume controll on the inspiron 9400 ? === Guest91020 is now known as Bogdaniel === Robert_ is now known as Guest8955 [01:26] 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] tux___, it's an ntfs drive... so replace vfat with ntfs === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest43396 [01:26] all the settings are gone, how do i upgrade?? o.O [01:26] as is the volume control controls the master volume linear but the PCM and LFE are either on or of [01:27] 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] tucemiux if you had 10.0X could you try fresh install [01:27] BlackAngelPR, you mean i cant upgrade? [01:28] ive got onoeiric [01:28] Brustofski-Fan: ntfs or ntfs-3g, depending on whic you have installed [01:28] tux___, what ever got installed by default [01:29] I don't see why you couldnt upgrade [01:29] tucemiux: [01:30] how do i upgrade nowdays? the upgrade button is gonee! [01:30] how do I set my account lockout policy in ubuntu 12.04? [01:30] L3top: I installed ubuntu 11.10 & now graphics driver was installed. Thank you [01:30] tucemiux: there is an option to hide the button, did you activate it and forgot? [01:30] np padhu. Glad to hear [01:31] vectory__, i didnt hide anything, it's gone along with a bunch of stuff, my software sources doesnt have it anymore [01:31] tucemiux: doesnt have what anymore? [01:31] the ubuntu repos? [01:32] Is there an easy way to cut off the last 10 seconds of a mp3-file using the terminal?! [01:32] vectory__, the "upgrade" button [01:32] NFisher, maybe using sox [01:33] L3top: :-D [01:33] NFisher: Maybe look at docs for lame [01:33] *Anyone had take any ubuntu official training and had a recommended one (^_^) [01:33] !ot | BlackAngelPR [01:33] BlackAngelPR: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:33] NFisher, http://sox.sourceforge.net/ [01:33] tucemiux: that button and the oprion can be found in the update app, not the software sources app [01:34] NFisher: What is your end goal? Do you have a lot of mp3s with 10 seconds of silence at the end? [01:34] NFisher: using mencode or ffmpeg, but beware that are no light tools to get into [01:34] Jordan_U, no i just derived an mp3 from a YT-Video which has some jingle-sound at the end [01:35] 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] ..which i want to cut out obviously [01:35] @david. that worked.. thank ya thank ya. but do i not want accelerated graphics on because..theyre accelerated? [01:35] NFisher: learn to google, it will tell you a ton of different ways to do that [01:35] Jordan_U, ok ill do that then, thx [01:35] NFisher: You're welcome. [01:36] like is having that off gonna make my videos look way shittier [01:36] Jordan_U: just wanted to mention audacity ;D [01:36] sk1special, flash on linux is a very wild animal, sometimes just sucks, ok most of the times ahahaha [01:36] vectory__, thought there was an easy quick fix, sry [01:36] !language | sk1special [01:36] sk1special: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

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] was there an update today that changed the way apt-get install works by prompting for installation of non-signed packages?

[01:56] killswitch_, why do you need it [01:56] !patience | killswitch_ [01:56] killswitch_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [01:56] just for the record ;P [01:56] bazhang so I can enable my lockout policy in 12.04 [01:56] :) [01:57] !info language-pack-de | ntr0py [01:57] ntr0py: language-pack-de (source: language-pack-de): translation updates for language German.

Version 1:12.04+20120417 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 30 kB [01:57] libpam-doc, libpam-modules, libpam-modules-bin <---- killswitch_ [01:57] thx [01:57] ntr0py: did you try sudo apt-get update, and then do sudo apt-get install language-pack-de [01:57] ? [01:58] EvilResistance, L3top, http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/language-support-de seems to be discontinued? [01:59] EvilResistance, aah its called language-PACK-de now? [01:59] ntr0py: i believe so, yes [01:59] still can't find pam_tally [02:00] :( [02:00] Excuse me everyone, I'm looking for someone who has great skills in Jack Audio and VSTs in ubuntu [02:01] 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] t0rx__, using a PPA? [02:01] killswitch_: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/pam_tally.8.html [02:02] killswitch_, I told you where to find it [02:02] t0rx__: what version ubuntu [02:02] bazhang, I'm not now but can. [02:02] I did the sudo apt-get install but it's still missing bazhang... [02:02] thx wylde [02:02] hey I'm on ubuntu 12.04, just upgraded from 11.10 [02:02] killswitch_: it's provided by another package/s [02:02] I was using lxde, and I switched to gnome to set something [02:02] i can't see the panels, [02:03] how can I start them? [02:03] L3top. 12.04. I upgraded the kernel to 3.3.4 because I read it had GMA3600 support [02:03] do you know where I can get it wylde? [02:03] killswitch_: did you open that link i posted? [02:03] I did [02:03] killswitch_: it's in the top 2 lines.... [02:03] t0rx__: sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver [02:03] okay... thx... [02:03] killswitch_: Provided By: [02:04] L3top, bzhang. Currently it is using vesa and inxi reports I could use fbdev or intel. However they both hang X [02:04] I don't see any loc in the top 2 lines wylde [02:04] How do I get the progress of a running dpkg command? [02:05] L3top, do I need to make a customized xorg.conf after installing i965 or will a reboot detect it? [02:05] ohhh okay [02:05] thx wylde [02:05] killswitch_: did you actually read anything on the page? [02:05] (sorry, a little slow today) [02:05] I did Name: Synopsis... Descript... [02:06] 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] 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] lol.... [02:07] L3top, will that version come back after it is installed or once graphics are running with the intel driver? [02:07] t0rx__: the i965 is a graphics accelleration compliment, not a replacement driver. [02:08] L3top, ok I get this currently: Installed: 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4 (still running vesa right now) === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [02:09] 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] so, wylde, do I have to get all of the built files or...? [02:09] 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] Chris6692: did you enable the networking, and select it to download the updates as it installs? [02:09] killswitch_: it's provided by the libpam-modules package. That is what you need to install. [02:10] okay, thank you wylde [02:10] Chris6692: What is it stuck on? [02:10] 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] I did not. It's stuck on "Preparing libc6." [02:10] I would expect that to be it t0rx__ [02:10] Also, I can't open applications or files, so the computer is pretty much unusable. [02:10] well... and copying it to the correct directory/name t0rx__ [02:11] do I reboot after install wylde? [02:11] 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] killswitch_: only if it tells you to. Which most don't, if unsure a logout alone might be enough. [02:12] okay [02:12] L3top, right. Do I need a full reboot or just virtual term, kill lightdm, config update and start x again? [02:12] t0rx__: I reboot, but because I am lazy. [02:13] L3top, hehe, ok thanks. I'm trying it now. I'll report back. Thanks for the help. [02:14] L3top: whoops, forgot to include your name. It's stuck on "Preparing libc6" [02:14] ew. [02:15] 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] Chris6692: can you ctrl alt f2 and use terminal or is it completely hung? [02:17] 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] howdy [02:19] my /etc/pam.d/system-auth is missing still [02:19] 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] I installed ubuntu 12.04 and I cannot log in - it worked a few times [02:19] i have etc/pam.d but system-auth file isn't there wyle. [02:20] L3top and Jordan_U: Thanks [02:20] Chris6692: You're welcome. [02:22] 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] can anyone tell me why ubuntu 12.04 would stop letting me log in [02:22] L3top, no dice. X crashes when "intel" replaces "vesa" [02:23] L3top, Any other ideas? here's the Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/963750 [02:23] 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?

[03:02] //i don't remeber when i changed this conf. :s [03:02] Num83rGuy: 64bits [03:02] i want a x86_64 iso [03:03] so wainting for tomorrow, I have a local mirror [03:03] in the work ... :) [03:03] L3top can you explain what you mean by "wayback machine" a little? [03:03] 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] twoten210, no, it's all ok [03:04] twoten210, it should be working now :/ [03:04] pepee: oh [03:04] 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] 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] pepee: I'll reboot and see if it comes up [03:04] twoten210, the hardware is recognized, and running fine. the problem is the software or your connection [03:04] Num83rGuy: ah i didnt knew that was the text based isntalled, i was already in that url, thanks :) [03:05] twoten210, ok [03:05] pepee: gotcha! thanks so much! [03:06] So no one knows why openVPN will not auto connect? [03:06] i just ugrade ubuntu 12.4 i tryed to use the vm wear for some reson it no working can you help [03:06] ghost_, #vmware === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [03:08] 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] ryanrhee90, dist-upgrade would release those [03:09] 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] !dist-upgrade | ryanrhee90 [03:09] ryanrhee90: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [03:09] b0ot, thats not an ubuntu issue [03:09] bazhang: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2) === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [03:10] ryanrhee90, context? [03:10] ryanrhee90: for fun, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:10] 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] b0ot: I don't know about a free VPN but I know about a cheap one. [03:10] L3top: just did it. :/ [03:11] 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] ah... lol I see bazhang is ahead of me as usual [03:11] 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] cg2916, and unetbootin? [03:12] 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] bazhang, good idea... [03:12] Lol, I was gonna say unet too, works for me [03:12] cg2916, is stuck a black screen? [03:12] 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] libglib2.0-0: Breaks: gvfs (< 1.8) but 1.6.1-0ubuntu1build1 is to be installed" [03:13] [03:13] wile-nilee, mostly black with the SYSLINUX "credits" header [03:14] 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] on 11.10 [03:15] hey i have a question for you guys [03:15] 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] does anyone know how to set an extra password for login in 12.04? [03:16] lightdm [03:16] 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] 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] 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] or do I need to do that manually? [03:16] Hickeroar, it will but u have to do it manually [03:16] Hickeroar, just choose custom when you do partitioning on ubuntu [03:16] plustax_: bingoogle for 'linux root password recovery' [03:16] aint that linux uses an ext file system [03:16] Hickeroar, then set it up [03:17] maybe u should allocate some space [03:17] can someone help me figure out why the drivers cause such a fps drop from windows to ubuntu? [03:17] vexaxv: So it is relatively straight forward as far as the bootloader goes? [03:17] vexaxv, it is other or something other, and a custom install is not needed per say. [03:17] 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] 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] does anyone know whats up with my fps issue?! [03:18] 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] vexaxv++ [03:18] ryanrhee90: dpkg --configure -a [03:18] vexaxv haha apparently they dont support ++ here [03:18] Hickeroar, np lol [03:18] Hickeroar, :P [03:18] L3top: did it. no output. [03:19] 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] ryanrhee90: sudo apt-get -f install [03:19] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 220 not upgraded. [03:19] okay come on, you guys blind? anyone in here play games??? [03:20] !patience | vexaxv [03:20] vexaxv: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:20] vexaxv: roger that. I'll keep my eyes peeled [03:20] thanks again [03:20] Hickeroar, k :P [03:20] omg it took a hour and a half just to DOWNLOAD the upgrades o.O [03:20] L3top, sorry im just anxious to figure this out [03:21] tucemiux, people might still be downloading 12.04, maybe the servers are still a lil loaded? i have no idea lol [03:21] when did 12.04 got released? [03:22] tucemiux, err..few days ago i think [03:22] tucemiux, 4-26 [03:22] so does anyone play games in here?? [03:22] off course i do, UrT is for me, it runs on ubuntu [03:22] L3top: oops, didn't reference your username. apt-get -f install returned "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 220 not upgraded."

[03:24] ookay ill retry [03:24] 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] does anybody know why? [03:25] hows that? [03:25] vexaxv, using wine? [03:25] bazhang, no [03:25] vexaxv: running compiz? [03:25] ayebear, yes it comes with 12.04 [03:25] vexaxv, which game. exact titles [03:25] bazhang, second life [03:25] vexaxv: does the game use opengl on both windows and linux? [03:25] is there a general guide for getting hibernate to work? [03:25] 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] ayebear, im pretty sure it does, i think i remember seeying that but feel free to double check me [03:26] vexaxv: what video card do you have? (the brand name) [03:26] L3top: I tried removing plymouth, and here's what i get: https://gist.github.com/b02dc285c3bb25605fe1 [03:26] ayebear, radeon 4200 [03:27] that sounds scary. Should I go ahaed and say "Yes, do as I say!"? === Guest78254 is now known as Bogdaniel [03:27] No... I explicitly said not to do that [03:27] lol [03:27] 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] vexaxv: ah it is probably just the drivers... you could try using openbox and see if it improves your FPS. [03:27] ayebear, openbox? === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest21783 [03:27] 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] vexaxv: Talk to the hardware manufacturer and ask them why they don't provide better support/drivers. [03:28] 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] okay, so removing plymouth isnot an option, and i can't remove gvfs without trying to install python... [03:28] vexaxv: lspci | grep VGA [03:28] twoten210, you sure b43-fwcutter is installed? run: dpkg -l | grep b43-fwcutter [03:28] hello room [03:28] 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] i have a feeling most game issues on linux come from the drivers [03:29] yeah probably [03:29] omg the install is not automatic, it was stuck waiting for me to click on OK o.O grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [03:29] 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] i have an nvidia card and games run just as good in linux. [03:29] ayebear, so use unity 2d and it should improve my performce? [03:29] what a lousy excuse of an upgrade! [03:29] ayebear, that was obvious lol not to be rude i mean i didnt think of it [03:29] 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] pepee: I get ii b43-fwcutter 1:015-9 Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware [03:29] it could somewhat but it is probably mostly your drivers. and lol np [03:30] unity is an aberration, i choose plain ubuntu with no effects [03:30] your problem is deeper than that ryanrhee90 and has to be resolved first. [03:30] vexaxv: lspci | grep VGA [03:30] tucemiux, it's a menu bar and a dock... [03:30] L3top, i ran it now what [03:30] twoten210, it's installed. [03:30] L3top: OH. i just got something to work [03:30] vexaxv: and yes, running 2d will help... [03:30] vexaxv: can you paste it here? [03:30] L3top: sudo apt-get remove gvfs -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false [03:30] thats all you need [03:30] twoten210, dpkg -l | grep -E 'b43|broadc' [03:31] 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series] [03:31] 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 [03:31] L3top, 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series] [03:31] ayebear, thanks for your help [03:31] your welcome [03:31] i need to go now tho, so cya [03:32] vexaxv: apt-cache policy fglrx | grep Installed [03:32] L3top: FWIW, it seems like a bug… See here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/990740 [03:32] Launchpad bug 990740 in python-defaults (Ubuntu) "upgrading from lucid to precise fails" [Undecided,Confirmed] [03:32] i tried upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 last night but the upgrade has been frozen since last night, can i shut off the PC and reboot w/o causing trouble?

[04:06] 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] The actual error, not your interpretation of it WulRadyansyka. You are the first person I have seen who has such an error. === wile-nilee is now known as wilee-nilee [04:06] WulRadyansyka, you are. saying the error is some segfault and nothing else wont get any support that is of use [04:07] WulRadyansyka, gnome shell doesn't work with some hardware. do you have ATI/AMD graphics? [04:08] pepee: gnome-shell works on my hardware. in every distro except ubuntu [04:08] !pastebin | WulRadyansyka paste the Exact errors [04:08] WulRadyansyka paste the Exact errors: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

Duly noted. Is that all? [04:10] 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] I doń't have ubuntu-bug [04:10] WulRadyansyka, http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?70605-AMD-Catalyst-12-4-Linux-Graphics-Driver-Released&p=260834#post260834 [04:10] I've never filed a bug in open source software before :( [04:11] WulRadyansyka: oh? what version of ubuntu are you using? === truemove is now known as LgL [04:11] also I don't have fglrx. I have the plain old radeon driver [04:11] wylde, isn't it apport-bug? [04:11] Hey, anyone know what the names of the video codecs that Ubuntu 12.04 installes at the beginning? [04:12] wylde: 12.04 with junk removed, apport included [04:12] WulRadyansyka, ask in #radeon if someone is having problems with it [04:12] 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] 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] 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] RangerMauve, for video? mp3? [04:13] wylde, i don't actually know what i'm talking about, i was just trying to help :) [04:13] twoten210, well, that was the problem: a missing package [04:13] For video, bazhang [04:13] RangerMauve, the gstreamer ugly ones? [04:14] No idea, I just need one that will work with ffmpeg [04:14] wylde, when i "man ubuntu-bug" it gives me apport-bug [04:14] WulRadyansyka: so, basically you have no interest in providing useful information to help resolve issues within ubuntu. [04:14] RangerMauve, assuming you mean from ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:14] I tried installing libx264 but it's not being recognized for some reason. [04:14] JZApples: yep, ubuntu-bug is provided by apport. [04:14] That is a fair assumption [04:14] wylde, so the same thing, gotcha [04:15] !find h264 [04:15] Found: h264enc [04:15] wylde: I'm not installing spyware like apport in my system [04:15] WulRadyansyka, thats not spyware. [04:15] Xnom5993aba [04:16] vexaxv, ? [04:16] sorry was trying to tell someone else something [04:16] anyone know how to edit opengl settings? im guessing the ati catalyst? [04:16] 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] 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. === bluespdx is now known as blues_pdx [04:17] JZApples: yep :) [04:18] there is a single error message tagged FATAl: Settings schema 'random junk here' is not installed [04:18] bazhang, Any idea what they are, or was that random thing you asked the bot what I am looking for? [04:19] wulradyansyka, why do you say it's spyware? [04:19] RangerMauve, well what is it you are trying to accomplish, could you provide some more info? === shiroi|yaiba is now known as shiroi|yaibaaway [04:19] for the fifth time WulRadyansyka, post the ACTUAL error, not your interpretation of it. [04:20] 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] 'random junk here' != useful information. [04:20] 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] en1gma: with those specs i would not run stock ubuntu [04:20] lol [04:20] en1gma: but yeah it should start unless the processor is pre-i686 iirc [04:20] 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] random junk is literally random bytes, they are different each time [04:21] en1gma: I would think adding 512 more memory would make it a lot happier. === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [04:21] RangerMauve: on the receiving end it's through upnp? [04:21] 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] WulRadyansyka: for the 6th time, please post the ACTUAL error from a console. [04:21] lol [04:21] 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] RangerMauve: just asking because I use Mediatomb to stream multimedia to the devices/computers on my network. [04:23] wylde, I have no idea really. I'm just blindly goolgling at the moment [04:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953527 This is what I'm using [04:23] (The last one) [04:23] RangerMauve: what exacty is Justin.tv? [04:24] It's a service for streaming video from different devices [04:24] RangerMauve: check out the good bad and ugly packages. [04:24] Like, you make the video, and others watch it [04:24] 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] ranger ahh ok, I misunderstood what you wanted then. [04:25] Vastlee: it should just be there... unless something went terribly wrong with the formatting and it cannot be mounted [04:25] ^ [04:26] RangerMauve: I assume you've tried the configuration list in the last post? With appropriate edits of course? [04:26] listed* [04:27] Well it says that I don't have the video codec when I run it [04:27] I tried isntalling it via apt-get but it's still not being recognized [04:27] RangerMauve: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? === Guest21783 is now known as Bogdaniel [04:28] I'm pretty sure I do, since I chose to when it was being installe [04:28] 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] RangerMauve: ahh ok, moment === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest5122 [04:28] It shows up in GParted fine as well. Though it is NTFS as I pulled it from another windows PC. [04:29] I believe it is there, I just don't know how to navigate to it. [04:29] Vastlee: do you see it in a sidebar? NTFS volumes are usually named after labels or size [04:29] On my sidebar I see "Home" "FileSystem" & "2TB" [04:30] RangerMauve: apt-cache policy gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [04:30] RangerMauve: did it specify which codec you are missing? [04:30] Vastlee: try sudo udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 [04:30] libx264 [04:30] L3top would that be compaible with Justin.tv? [04:31] !info libx264-120 [04:31] libx264-120 (source: x264): x264 video coding library. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:0.120.2151+gita3f4407-2 (precise), package size 792 kB, installed size 2149 kB [04:31] libx264-120 is the package RangerMauve [04:31] Thank you. I tried & this is the response: Mount failed: Daemon is inhibited [04:32] Oh sweet, thanks guys. I've tried like two packages so far >.< [04:32] RangerMauve: :) [04:32] how do I disable control alt delete in Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit? [04:33] RangerMauve, tab completion for package names is often helpful [04:33] Well this is strange, it says that it's installed already, but it seems that ffmpeg isn't recognizing it [04:34] RangerMauve: is it specifying a path that it's looking for the file in? [04:34] 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] Er, it's not saying. I bet there's an argument to make it more verbose though [04:35] Vastlee: is there anything on this drive? Are you still viewing it in gparted? [04:35] What specifically do you need help with GhostWolf? [04:36] There is data on the drive yes. And I have it open in GParted. Should I exit & try again? [04:36] GhostWolf, #gimp ? [04:36] Ok that worked. It says: Mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdb1 at /media/3074F5F674F5BF22 [04:36] Yes, close gparted [04:36] there [04:37] Vastlee: now it should be in file manager [04:37] L3mce, 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 [04:37] 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] GhostWolf: There are online tools for making icon files that you may want to search up [04:38] sorry i sent it to the wrong person [04:38] anyone? [04:38] they are both me... lol... I believe gimp CAN do it, but there are better tools to do the job GhostWolf. [04:38] know how to disable ctrl-alt-del ? [04:38] 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] 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] 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] hi === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [04:40] Can someone help me out with a small issue? [04:40] 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] 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] Can I rename it? & How do I take control over it? [04:41] Try opening you explorer as root [04:42] 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] 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] I'm not sure how to open the file explorer as root. [04:42] hello... can anyone help me out with a small tweak? [04:43] 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] SarahsButt, which grub the one in wubi or the other partitioned install. [04:43] Vastlee gksudo nautilus [04:43] I beleive grub is 2.0 but I'm not entirely sure [04:43] iot's the old one installed by the old partition [04:43] RangerMauve: have you tried other vcodecs? [04:43] I am doing that right now, wylde [04:43] I just need to delete ubuntu from the windows boot manager [04:44] RangerMauve: alrighty :) [04:44] can someone please help me with a small issue? [04:44] L3top, so what program should i use to make what i want to make? [04:44] 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] RangerMauve: hehe yep :) [04:45] I want to disable control alt delete from logging out of ubuntu. [04:45] how can I do this? [04:45] not sure GhostWolf... looking around [04:45] SarahsButt, do you have a windows recovery or install disc to reload its bootloader if needed? [04:46] L3top, ok i thought you knew on top of your head since you mentioned there are other programs that are better lol [04:47] i just upgraded to 12.04, how do i switch from unity 2d to unity 3d? [04:47] Vampyre2007, what versiona re you using? [04:47] SarahsButt, the ubuntu in the windows bootloader boots the wubi. [04:47] 12.04 [04:48] i need help creating a full image backup of my Ubuntu server [04:48] Ok all seems to be working. Is there any way I can rename this drive? [04:48] footvilla: like a routine or just a one off? [04:48] one off [04:48] RangerMauve: 12.04 Precise [04:49] 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] footvilla: have you heard of clonezilla? [04:49] Vampyre2007: try this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man2/reboot.2.html [04:49] clonezilla +1 [04:49] i have a raid 0 2x 128 ssd drives [04:49] how good is vino? is there a recommended alternative for vnc? [04:49] I've been looking into bcdedit.exe command in windows [04:49] and i want to back everything up [04:49] @footfilla i would 2nd clonezilla [04:50] I downloaded that deb, but it said a later version was already installed, via software center. [04:50] not sure what to download... i have an intel CPU, but when i start the download from ubuntu.com it said AMD [04:50] JZApples: Just curious, what do you need to do remotely that you want vnc for? [04:50] footvilla: then you'll need something bigger than/equal to 256gb then. clonezilla can do a full disk or full partition backup [04:50] wylde, connect to my computers from my touchpad [04:50] ninet the AMD is just how the 64bit one is labelled [04:50] has nothing to do with your processor [04:50] nintet, the amd64 is for intel 64 as well [04:50] so it works with intel 64 bit? [04:50] yup [04:50] k [04:50] thanks [04:50] nintet, Yes [04:51] SarahsButt, are you answering me? you can use nics with a tab complete to highlight your answer to theuser nic used. [04:51] Vampyre2007: How about http://linuxpoison.blogspot.ca/2007/10/how-to-disable-ctrl-alt-del-from.html [04:51] 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] wylde, i turned uPnP off on my router and haven't opened up any ports [04:51] wylde, you can have a gui with SSH?!?!?! [04:52] 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] nice [04:52] i purchased 4 500 gig WD Ae4 drives [04:52] I want to do a Raid 10 [04:52] 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] 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] why is distro.ibiblio.org/ubuntu/ so confusing??? [04:52] 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] Vampyre2007, I think so [04:53] jon180: no guarantees unless this is a reported bug [04:53] wylde, not sure how that would work with WebOS though [04:53] Vampyre2007, make sure to back it up first [04:53] JZApples: eg. I ssh into my remote system using ssh -X hostname , then launch nautilus, or gedit filename. :) [04:53] jon180: worth a shot though, what would it cost? about 5 mins [04:53] HI [04:54] how do i switch to unity 3d? [04:54] jon180, at the login is a dropdown icon of a gear. [04:54] 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] k... sec... [04:54] i saw that but did not see options for unity [04:55] 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] jon180, I belive it is ubuntu unity is the ubuntu-desktop [04:55] i thought i was using that one [04:56] JZApples: yeah, I honestly have no idea about WebOs. I beleive you can disable those messages from vino. [04:56] 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] JZApples: ahh ok, that shouldn't be happening then heh. [04:57] wylde, then again i don't ever see them, so who knows what she's really talking about [04:57] it had "ubuntu" and "ubuntu 2d" [04:57] 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] i installed the nvidia driver, which worked for me in 10.04 [04:57] jon180, cool so two choices did you get to the 3d? [04:58] i used ubuntu 3d because i assumed ubuntu is 1d, or is that not the case? [04:58] i meant 2d [04:58] JZApples: wish I could be more help, I don't actually use vnc for remote connections at all. [04:58] i will try selecting "ubuntu" [04:58] well, edited the control-alt-delete.conf file in init but didn't seem to work [04:59] any other ideas? [04:59] lol@1d... the ubuntu line... [04:59] jon180, both, a choice, depends though on the hardware most get it running I think probably. [04:59] It's fast... but hard to use well. [04:59] thanks for the help [05:00] jon180, not sure I helped but good luck, :) [05:01] Hii guys! I want a help [05:02] vivekimsit, tell us your problem and maybe someone will know.

To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [05:47] kartook, there is no classic. I told you this yesterday [05:47] kartook: do you mean compiz?

[05:50] hey guys [05:50] 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] kartook: then you have ccsm and can use it [05:51] okie [05:51] hi Munkyman587 [05:51] i fely hard to use this one al lthe time [05:51] I run a minecraft server on a 12.04 ubuntu install, and my drive just filled up with .xsession-errors.old [05:51] i always use simple-ccsm on oldversions [05:51] :) [05:51] Cheery: have you reported a bug?

[05:51] I have no idea what to do =/ I am considering doing a fresh install just to solve it [05:52] linusasus6: keyboard shortcut maybe [05:52] ActionParsnip: where to do so? [05:52] 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] Cheery: then how do the devs know there is an issue?

[05:53] how would I even remove the hidden file .xsession-errors.old ? [05:53] ActionParsnip: probably in no way. except is an outdated package a bug? [05:54] the iso's are as big as the one i have now 700 mb [05:54] linusasus6: look at the keyboard, there may be a shortcut to disable it, just as you can d [05:54] Cheery: what exactly are you trying to do?

[05:55] ActionParsnip: thanks. I'll do so. [05:56] ='/ [05:56] Cheery: -p reads the passphrase from a file descriptor, what is -P supposed to do? [05:56] 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] no i had windows 2000 on it and i wiped the 30 gb hard drive and installed ubantu [05:56] and its slow to respond [05:56] EargasmicGiant, install lubuntu-desktop then [05:56] L3top: if the device has partitions, it should create things like /dev/loop0p1, p2, p3, p4 [05:56] updates take hrs [05:57] EargasmicGiant: what kind of CPU it has? [05:57] L3top: it's a recently added feature [05:57] idk old [05:57] it was originally built for windows 98 2000 [05:57] I really wonder why canonical is permanently changing the touchpad mousehandling [05:57] not a single version has consistent handling [05:58] I see...

[06:10] software center is like a app store but it's free. [06:11] vulture got a link? [06:11] ubuntoo: both identical here as I don't use compiz :-) [06:12] bazhang: its good to get opinion before installing, live cd cannot compete with full installation.

[06:14] <_jon180_> in 12.04, how do i switch to unity 3d? [06:15] but how to restart computer without mouse and what command I enter after holding shift and press e [06:15] ubuntoo: Precise? Yes since Alpha1 [06:15] ActionParsnip: not alpha, i am talking about stable release [06:16] linusasus6: press ctrl+alt+t and run: sudo reboot try [06:16] hmm [06:16] Anyone know how to get this im not seeing it in the software store eighter libncurses5-dev [06:16] the precise has 2.20.. should I dist-upgrade? [06:16] ubuntoo: 12.04 is released, some of us used it during the alpha and beta stages to test and report bugs. [06:16] ubuntoo: well, it means I've used it and now have the stable release. Think about it [06:17] Need some help with Crayon Phyusics [06:17] on 12.04 [06:17] the game isn't launching? [06:17] okay.. I guess I'll upgrade [06:18] It'll mess up my system further.. but I guess I'll handle it. .) [06:18] 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] Cheery: one moment [06:18] 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] .20 does not understand the -P switch [06:19] kamilnadeem: what if you launch it from terminal? [06:19] <_jon180_> how do i enable unity 3d? [06:19] ActionParsnip, telling [06:19] ubuntoo: at the end we cant tell you if 11.10 or 12.04 works more stable on your device [06:19] ubuntoo: i always clean install new releases [06:19] Cheery: 2.20 does not understand the -P switch [06:20] L3top: oh okay. well it's still okay for me to upgrade [06:20] _jon180_: setup 3D acceleration and you can choose the 'Ubuntu' option from the login page [06:20] 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] 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] L3top: but you think I could get 2.21 from somewhere myself? without having to wait for upgrade teams? [06:21] wylde: thanx [06:21] ok now my touchpad doesnt work anymore an the cursor stop glitching [06:21] anyone libncurses5-dev??

[06:23] trent_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:23] 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] haha [06:24] trent_: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev [06:24] ActionParsnip, ok trying [06:24] linusasus6_: is that the desired outcome? [06:24] wylde Couldn't find package [06:24] what do youmean [06:24] What version of ubuntu are you on trent_? [06:24] L3top: okay [06:25] the glich is fix but the touchpad dead [06:25] linusasus6_: as I say. Is the current functionality of the touchpad as you want it? [06:25] ActionParsnip, I am installing the game again this time from its deb file [06:26] kamilnadeem: probably better, deps will be hopefully sorted [06:26] :( still not launching [06:27] let me check what it says in terminal when I try it from opt [06:27] linusasus6_: if all is well, we can make the option stick [06:27] holy crap dude i think it finally worked [06:27] kamilnadeem: change desktop resolution. Try native resolution or some low resolution. [06:27] I guess is maybe better like that a dead touchpad and a really great mouse [06:27] trent_: good stuff :) [06:28] im about to find out ill let you know in a sec [06:28] how does one create an alias for bash? [06:28] kamilnadeem: you may have to symlink later versions of the libs to fool your app into thinking you have the file it wants === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:29] Failed to execute 'crayon' === Guest19965 is now known as Bogdaniel [06:29] ActionParsnip, how does one do that, also the game ran fine on 11.04 and 11.10 OTB [06:29] nope still says Couldn't find package lib32ncurses5-dev === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest65402 [06:29] rinzler: run: gedit ~/.bashrc you will see other aliases defined. Copy the format [06:30] ActionParsnip: cool. Thanks! [06:30] 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] thank Idont know what we did and how the touchpad stop working but if it stay like this I guess is good [06:30] ActionParsnip, The log http://paste.ubuntu.com/964003/ says some files are missing o.O [06:30] i installed vsftpd..but hw do i set the user and pwd for the login? [06:31] 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] trent_: I just installed it fine here ... hmm [06:32] ActionParsnip, so what should I do to make it work? [06:32] 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] a last question when the upgrade will start for ubuntu 10.04 the 26th of this month? [06:33] wylde after i installed it the first time i went back to reinstall some android stuff and it still says not found?? === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [06:34] wylde from line #9 http://www.droidforums.net/forum/galaxy-nexus-development/193651-how-build-your-own-custom-rom.html [06:34] trent_: so when you installed it, it definately installed properly?

[08:03] Boothk: skype isn't in the repo === aknewhope_ is now known as aknewhope [08:04] !skype | Boothk [08:04] Boothk: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [08:04] 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] 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] Jordan_U: well tried formatting gpt -> did not find any bootable disks [08:05] ferni: How did you install grub? [08:05] 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] ubuntuhelp_: It says EDK II build environment ...what that is for? [08:06] ubuntuhelp_: Whats the whole concept here about? [08:06] ubuntuhelp_: It seems it covers VM part.. [08:06] 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] 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] 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] I googled to find a fix but i'm out of luck. [08:07] linuxfreaker: EDK II is just the environment and version control system that has been developed for EFI users [08:08] Jordan_U: havent tried with ubuntu, since this created msdos table. this is samsung 5 series with some phoenix bios / uefi [08:08] ubuntuhelp_: Okie fine...so are we going to build custom firmware [08:08] 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] ubuntuhelp_: and the custom UEFI firmware to be able to support Ubuntu 11.4 [08:08] ubuntuhelp_: Correct? [08:09] 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] anyone? [08:09] Boothk: sorry, i have no experience with proxies [08:09] 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] linuxfreaker: thats the idea. your firmware can be ported all the way from 11.04 to 12.04 [08:10] I'm aware it's because of zeitgeist, but removing that does not solve the problem [08:10] Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive [08:10] 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] it seems unity keeps that somewhere? [08:10] linuxfreaker: build instructions for setting up UEFI are on the website [08:10] Jordan_U: Thats what I am required to do...please understand [08:10] help needed with apt-get via proxy. authentication failing for some reason. [08:11] ubuntuhelp_: Okie I went through the link... [08:20] 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] wookienz: how do you configure it? [08:20] 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] 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] Jordan_U: So u guess it will work if installed it with UEFI option [08:20] linuxfreaker: Correct. [08:20] Jordan_U: Let me try out and check it today === Vladislas is now known as zay-bot [08:21] 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] Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails.

It actually may hurt you if you need my help in the future so think about that. === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest56070 [08:32] 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] vexaxv: this shecks if there are updates for your system. if there, you get the update window [08:33] vexaxv: it updates package information for available packages [08:33] 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] so how come when i get updates say i get 50 updates..i run it and sometimes ill get 51 instead [08:33] or 52 [08:34] its almosst like i should be running that command before i update [08:34] 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] 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] vexaxv: you need to run update before upgrade [08:35] so that command updates the lists so i get the right upgrades? [08:35] vexaxv: exactly [08:36] SunTsu Which step is the one that does the large downloads if necessary? [08:36] okay thanks guys [08:36] one more thing [08:36] anyone in here play second life? lol [08:36] i haven't figured out what to do with my first life yet [08:36] lol [08:36] play second life and find out :P [08:36] vexaxv: this is a support channel.

[08:37] richtroye: packages are downloaded when doing apt-get upgrade [08:37] thanks [08:38] ndee: you don't need to, just tell awk to use multiple (white)spaces as field separators [08:38] SunTsu, ah, I used "cut", gonna take a look at awk [08:39] ndee: awk can sum up on it's own, so awk is what you want anyway - or perl ;) [08:39] SunTsu, oh, perl is a beast :D === krups_v2 is now known as krups === shiroi|yaibaaway is now known as shiroi|yaiba [08:42] 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 ?

[09:01] 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] ubuntu write message " waiting for network configuration" for long time when booting :( . [09:03] Fudge: can't you just use ctl+D once you connect? [09:04] esak: it's looking for dhcp. If you don't ned that: turn it off [09:04] gaelfx what does that do [09:04] Fudge: creates a bookmark [09:04] suntsu how turn off it ? [09:04] Fudge: or there's the Bookmarks menu right around the File menu [09:06] esak: depends on how you configured it.

[09:14] That's weird [09:15] Now i realised that when I turn on alsamixer the tray icon says muted [09:15] esak: I'd use "auto lo" in network/interfaces, nothing more [09:15] 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] 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?

[09:25] 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] pungi-man: the guys in #python can give great advice on how to accomplish that [09:26] 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] pungi-man: udacity.com [09:28] 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] thanks psypher246 !! [09:28] learn to program a search engine from scratch [09:28] in python [09:29] and other advance prograaming courses, all free [09:29] it is awesome@! [09:29] its really a good site psypher246 ! [09:30] it's amazing, i finished that 3 weeks ago, doing web app dev now [09:30] suntsu no way !! so bad. [09:30] ya ++ to psypher246 [09:30] !lucid [09:30] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) [09:30] 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] I dont know why I bother with Linux in an office environment just creates more work for myself === Guest56070 is now known as Bogdaniel [09:31] esak: I'd only use "auto lo" and do the rest using networkmanager [09:31] pungi-man: start it now, you can cath the last 2 weeks up quick [09:32] DracoZA: best to discuss that in -offtopic unless you have a particular support question === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest70081 [09:32] Is #ubuntu+1 invite-only because there is no newer release than 12.04? [09:32] yeah I have already started it [09:32] acicula ive asked a question twice but no response [09:32] suntsu my dhcp is on or off ? [09:32] hali [09:32] 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] esak: it's off, there's no dhcp in your interfaces file [09:33] suntsu after i connected wireless internet it happen. [09:33] 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] DracoZA: i doubt anyone here can tell you of a specific change to the printer subsystem [09:33] Video in question is captured from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEpFnyDBj8w [09:33] suntsu before connected wireless internet is was normaly [09:34] 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] psypher246, thanks again!! [09:34] DracoZA: except that im sure it still uses cups [09:34] pungi-man: pleasure [09:34] gaa [09:34] psypher246 , any website like this one to learn Objective C and Assembly ? [09:35] theres one more website like coursera.org where i learn Cryptography [09:35] 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] acicula I know about the -aspect option but I haven't tried it. [09:35] I've reinstalled pulseaudio - there's still no sound and sound icon disappeared from my top bar [09:35] trying that now [09:35] well not sure but check this: http://www.hardocp.com/news/2012/05/02/harvard_mit_announce_free_online_classes/ [09:36] No difference [09:37] 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] which is no longer there! [09:37] thanks i will get updated regularly about that ...... thanks again psypher246 [09:37] fucking linux, nothing can just work, there must always something get broken without doing anything. PIECE OF SHIT [09:37] DracoZA: hmm thats clearly not right [09:38] acicula thats what I thought [09:38] hey all [09:39] i just found a cool video [09:39] just check this out [09:39] Cool Futuristic Desktop by necopost [09:39] on youtube [09:39] ajay__: please don'tpost in here [09:39] ajay__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:39] ok [09:39] ajay__: this is a support channel, we are not interested in videos [09:39] i need to know how to install this [09:39] sure. i know [09:40] 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] could anyone tell whats the error in the program. the author is not available [09:40] ajay__: error in what program ? [09:41] please follow the link === linagee_ is now known as linagee [09:42] its on necopost [dot] com [09:42] ajay__: I don't want to watch a video [09:42] ajay__: just tell me the problem you want resolved [09:42] Hi [09:42] ok [09:42] its based on conky [09:42] ajay__: what's the problem you want resolved [09:42] the configuration file has an error [09:43] ajay__: what is the application called [09:43] ikonia: like blood out of a stone... [09:43] the name is conky-Tronn.. it is a Tron like theme [09:43] its on necopost [dot] com [09:43] ajay__: ever considered asking in #conky? [09:43] i tried [09:43] as I'm so excited and want it now [09:43] as it should somehow be morte conky related then ubuntu? just my feeling [09:44] mm [09:44] I gave up for a while and came here [09:44] 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] ajay__: conky-tron is just image files for conky [09:44] it's just a normal conky install [09:44] I installed conky [09:44] 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] richtroye: one mplayer just hogging the video out. you can set it to null explicitly [09:45] and when I try to change the configuration to this file [09:45] That he have posted in the website [09:45] ajay__: wa this interface looks good [09:45] yup! [09:45] ajay__: if you are using someone elses config, you need to talk to that person about his config file [09:45] that program goes into an infinite loop or something [09:46] or troubleshooting that config using comments etc [09:46] ok.. [09:46] anyway -> give #conky a try in addition to here ;) [09:46] I thought you guys may have tried something like this [09:46] plop [09:46] plop [09:46] Fira: anatole ?

App dont install where you set or what ?and what is mean "App loading, not really" ?? :) [10:00] tak you're time and write a problem [10:00] take* [10:00] mrsuchyPL: he means booting is quick but loading apps isn't [10:00] 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] fg: try this one http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx [10:00] I see [10:00] 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] somethinginteres: usually apps will load config from your home directory [10:01] krababbel: Ah.. that might be it. [10:01] somethinginteres: you probably could point ~/.config for instance to a partition on your SSD [10:01] somethinginteres: really depends what it is... [10:02] I'd guess [10:02] somethinginteres: mozilla programs like to keep an sqlite database in your home folder [10:02] LgL: Thanks. which item did you select? [10:02] alkisg: usage surveys revealed that a bigger percentage of users were on 32-bit than was expected [10:02] 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] Thank you Myrtti, I also found a ML thread here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-April/035054.html [10:03] Myrtti: you mean, incapable of using 64-bit OS? [10:03] somethinginteres: not familiar with vmware [10:03] airtonix: np [10:03] 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] hd radeon 4xxx... but its same for all radeon [10:03] fg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [10:04] check that out and folow it [10:04] :D [10:04] somethinginteres: what do you mean? I guess putting the vm disk on the ssd would help. [10:04] 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] I'm having issues with system tray icons in precise. many applications (e.g. xchat) does not show the system tray icon [10:04] somethinginteres: but you can specifiy the folder for the disk files [10:04] richtroye: hold alt, middle click then drag [10:05] this was not the case for oneiric though [10:05] richtroye: note: no need to aim for edges or corners [10:05] 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] krababbel: I might try that actually, thanks. [10:06] airtonix Thanks, and I've just now found that smashing Alt-F8 helps too [10:06] alankila: I can't remember the details, sorry :-| [10:06] bubuz: use ssh's socks proxy [10:06] richtroye: unfortunately gnomes resize and drag keyboard only shortcuts fail in comparison to kde [10:06] 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] bubuz: if you want a gui interface to managing ssh tunnels , try gstm [10:07] bubuz: -D [10:07] richtroye: that's a problem on every single operating system i've come across though [10:07] airtonix, not bothered about that, would rather CLI [10:07] richtroye: at least linux has lazy grab to resize and drag with [10:07] SunTsu, please elaborate [10:08] 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] richtroye: you can change it to right click instead of middle click with dconf-editor or gsettings [10:08] airtonix Is that Alt-F8 thing called "lazy grab"? Sounds apt [10:08] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-April/035088.html appears to say that 25 % of machines would fall out [10:09] I can not actually believe this is true, but I haven't read the mail yet [10:09] I guess I'll just remember Alt-F8 for my own personal use [10:09] 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] airtonix Oh okay. [10:09] bubuz: openssh has a socks proxy facility built in. Use -d , put that into /etc/apt/apt.conf and there you go [10:10] richtroye: i don't think there is five minutes that pass each day where i'm not using those shortcuts [10:10] LgL: Thanks. A useful page:). but i want to understand what type my graphic card is? [10:10] er -D it is, not -d [10:10] 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] richtroye: apt-get build-dep xchat should get you started [10:11] thansk AlanBell [10:12] the debian packages are typically build by some invocation like "fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch" at the package root [10:12] Any solution to problems in gnome terminal with irssi? [10:12] !source | richtroye [10:12] richtroye: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [10:12] alankila Wow, that's pretty nifty! [10:12] oh yes, apt-get source xchat downloads and patches the source, too. I somehow forgot to mention that. [10:13] how do I add multiple ipv6 addresses to a single interface in /etc/network/interfaces? [10:14] Imrac: tried adding address lines? [10:14] krababbel yes, first thing I tried [10:15] Imrac: You can do 'ip addr add' command === iCeDrEaM is now known as Guest67068 [10:17] hello [10:18] 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] Good ornig for all. [10:18] i have installed ubuntu 12.04 and trying to connect to my old server. It is now allowing me to login [10:19] Imrac: it doesn't survive probably, yes. Sorry, no idea how to tell Ubuntu to do that. Probably a script thing? [10:19] I update my ubuntu 12.04 now, and the system not working in 3D mode after update, anyone have this problem? [10:19] SunTsu, there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf file [10:20] krababbel, yeah I suppose, just was hopeing for a more elegant solution [10:22] hello === Guest67068 is now known as LOL === LOL is now known as iceD [10:23] any hind === iceD is now known as iceD[R] [10:23] hint === iceD[R] is now known as iceD[R]eam === iceD[R]eam is now known as iceD[R] [10:23] "It is now allowing me to login" - so what's your problem? [10:24] Lazik: sorry, not allowing me to login [10:24] giving Permission Denied error. I am using .pem file to login [10:26] 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] 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?

This worked a few weeks ago... [10:37] noone know the answer to my question? [10:37] hi [10:37] my dns isn't working with VPN [10:37] savr: Be sure to have the VPN push DNS options to clients over DHCP. [10:37] Like with dnsmasq or such. [10:38] ikanobori, is that a server setting? [10:38] That is on the server side, yes. [10:39] 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?

[10:44] nikp is not [10:44] !vnc | bubuz shows how to make an SSH tunnel [10:44] bubuz shows how to make an SSH tunnel: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [10:44] 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] I'm in school, even there it will use it [10:44] esak: Why?

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] esak: Are you running Ubuntu on al Live CD? [10:47] especially even [10:47] no nikp. i install it [10:47] 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] SunTsu, there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf [10:48] for a start. [10:48] bubuz: then create one. There is none by default, if you create one apt will honor it [10:48] fidel_ can u help more [10:48] bubuz: you can make it, and it will be used [10:49] esak: like re-googling for you? nop [10:49] fg: yes im here [10:49] esak: if noone inhere answers - consider feeding your search-engine with the exact wait-message you see while booting [10:50] esak: this will lead you to several forum posts handling that topic [10:50] yes. plz. i search very . but cant solve this problem [10:50] can anyone help me with my proftpd server?

[10:57] LgL: Thanks alot for your help:) [10:57] ThinkT510: so is urging others to search stuff because "you" don't want to [10:58] any ideas? [10:58] bubuz: Did you try using an IP address? Maybe your dns server does not resolve everything [10:58] suntsu http://lmgtfy.com/?q=waiting+for+network+configuration [10:58] bubuz: and: what kind of proxy did you setup in firefox? [10:58] esak: don't do that [10:59] fidel_ i searching this http://lmgtfy.com/?q=waiting+for+network+configuration [10:59] fg: no problem [10:59] SunTsu, tried IP, no go. Manual proxy config -> HTTP proxy and us this roxy for all protocols checked [10:59] thinkt510 do u know my problem ? [11:00] esak: no, but lmgtfy.com shouldn't be used here [11:00] bubuz: it's no http proxy. It's a socks proxy, I wrote that multiple times already [11:00] LgL: :) [11:01] ok thinkt510 [11:01] ok well socks proxy is set to localhost and same port to [11:01] SOCKS 5 [11:01] bubuz: did you configure both proxy types? [11:01] 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] SunTsu, ah ha - i had to clear all other options other than socks5 [11:02] working now [11:03] sarthor: learn iptables [11:03] sarthor: shorewall is in the 12.04 repos [11:03] so in apt.cfg - what would I need to put in there to tell it to use the proxy? [11:03] so i dont see why you would need to dl it from a project page in the first place [11:03] bubuz: well, of course, else you end up trying to use the wrong proxy type, which won't work [11:03] fidel_, shorewll installed. but problem with LSM installation [11:03] k [11:03] fidel_, there is no .dep pakge. [11:03] thank you SunTsu and thanks for your patience [11:04] what is LSM? [11:04] szal, http://lsm.foobar.fi/ [11:04] 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] SunTsu, how would I set apt.cfg to point to proxy then? [11:05] or Linu Security Modules? [11:05] x [11:05] ah [11:06] 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] 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] 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] or considered (never used that function) to transform the .rpm to a .deb? which should be possible in theory [11:07] fidel_, one can not install lsm via that comand. I asked in shorewall chan too [11:07] ok thx [11:08] grrr but I cant apt-get isntall tsocks [11:08] lol [11:08] ok i give up ;) [11:08] but John Cena never given up. [11:08] bubuz: ob course not. Just download it manually and scp it there [11:09] Can anyone help me get my GMA3600 card into 3D mode? / Using a better driver than vesa? [11:09] yeah thats what am doing, thx SunTsu [11:09] :) [11:10] bubuz: apt-get --print-uris install socks5 [11:10] er tsocks is what I mean [11:11] hallo [11:11] !de | hoehle [11:11] hoehle: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[11:34] ThinkT510: didn't work [11:34] shape: I don't think that will matter [11:35] oh yeah, it did.. it crashed the whole X sessiong [11:35] yay [11:35] temba his arms wide [11:35] 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 === Guest17411 is now known as boson [11:35] Guest17411: Star Trek references in #ubuntu-offtopic please [11:35] jrib, and then fixed it with boot-repair [11:35] shape: maybe... [11:35] jrib, but how can I fix that then? [11:36] shape: try testdisk but I do not have any experience with it [11:36] 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] jrib, repaid the mbr from the Live CD [11:37] repair* [11:37] shape: why do you need to uninstall ubuntu? [11:37] .. just reinstall ubuntu and it will reinstall grub on the mbr. [11:37] it over-writes the windows mbr when you install grub. [11:37] or you can try to repair it if you think you're good enough. [11:37] good = skilled [11:38] ^ [11:38] okay I will see what I can do! Thanks [11:38] I'll be back regardless! [11:38] good luch. [11:38] luck* [11:39] 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] 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] is it possible to remove keyrings so that they are no longer used and not affect data / file access etc? [11:40] I ended up switching to bodhi. [11:40] How can I kill all processes that match a given regex pattern? [11:40] afd, I think you just uninstall it with your package manager. [11:41] 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] Mayazcherquoi: pkill [11:41] Mayazcherquoi: maybe pkill or kill `pgrep ...` [11:41] 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] jrib / Stanley00: Oh okay! Thank you guys! :) [11:42] 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] yay vpn working with dns [11:43] damn slow to resolve dns [11:43] 400-800ms to the vpn [11:44] 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] i think it's called a widget, i need a workspace widget for the top toolbar [11:45] Any reason Nautilus would not show files on an external drive that show up with ls? [11:45] tarvid.. loose usb? [11:46] browes fine from the command line [11:46] tarvid: close nautilus, then reopen it [11:47] Odd. I'm a fan of the more basic file browsers. I like thunar and File Manager. [11:47] just restarted but will try [11:47] 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] Maybe reboot and try again. My wireless derped out in the middle of a big synaptic pm download. had to reboot. [11:48] it shows nothing [11:49] what's 'derped'? [11:49] MonkeyDust, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=herp%20derp [11:49] 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] 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] 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] jarco_, did you install Chrome or Chromium? Chrome using the .DEB-file from google.com/chrome contains flash already. [11:50] !virus| Daghdha [11:50] Daghdha: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [11:51] phibxr: I installed chrome with that deb. Still grooveshark gives the same error [11:51] jarco_: is that problem grooveshark specific? [11:51] so does flash works on other pages for you? [11:51] jarco_, navigate to chrome://plugins/ [11:52] jarco_, can you see Flash there? [11:52] seems not so fidel_ [11:52] phibxr: no flash there [11:53] 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] jarco_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/129534/problem-flash-player-not-present-in-chrome-on-ubuntu-12-04 [11:54] jarco_, are you running 64-bit? [11:54] phibxr: yes [11:54] jarco_, then it's a bug in google chrome. full report here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=108381 [11:54] Is there a way to refresh the instalation of linux [11:54] ActionParsnip: i ll ssh in to it and paste it here :) [11:54] polishguy94, what do you mean by a refresh? [11:55] polishguy94 sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade [11:55] jarco_: sweet [11:55] polishguy94, like monkeydust suggested an update of all programs, or a cleanup operation? [11:55] 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] phibxr: the plugin refered to in the article is a chrome plugin or the flash from adobe? [11:56] 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] polishguy94, if your home and root partitions are separate, you could just reinstall from scratch and keep your /home dir. [11:56] automatic reset. [11:56] blurp: how about installed programmes? [11:56] jarco_, they bundle adobes plugin, but only in the 32-bit version. [11:57] polishguy94 aptoncd to backup/recover them [11:57] and my home and root partitions are not separate, shit [11:57] 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] or maybe you can just help solving my sound issue [11:57] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a539cacc0eda3f3cbf3f6eb67c7bab16e706ecf5 [11:57] polishguy94: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait a few seconds, then try sound [11:57] polishguy94 in a Terminal, type alsamier, if you see MM (mute), go there and press m [11:58] alsamixer* [11:58] alsamixer - nothing is muted [11:58] i've tried reinstallation of pulseaudio [11:58] polishguy94: did my command work? [11:58] phibxr: I thought they had their ownb version of it, one they updated themselves. I am trying to get that one. [11:58] 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] I suppose yes [11:59] ^ 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] 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] 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] 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] I have alsa connections instead of system input and such. [12:00] phibxr: I think that's normal for unix systems [12:00] polishguy94: did you try my command at all? [12:00] 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] ActionParsnip: yest I did [12:01] 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] I've tried playing sounds via alsa alone and via pulseaudio [12:01] phibxr, your home folder is your virtual bedroom. Do you keep your bedroom locked all day? There's usually no need. === monotux` is now known as monotux [12:02] polishguy94, you may have had a hardware recognition glitch. Have you rebooted your os?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [12:09] polishguy94: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [12:09] polishguy94: what options do you get from f6 in alsamixer? [12:09] 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] jrib, Hey, so I reinstalled grub and everything and it still doesn't see the windows partition :( [12:10] jrib, I guess I'll have to reinstall windows [12:11] shape windows is still thee, grub just doesnt see it [12:11] there* [12:11] MonkeyDust, but gparted sees the partition as "unkown" as well. Do you have any suggestions? [12:11] aurondace: -default (shows pulseaudio) 0 (ati radeon hdmi) 1 (ca0106 - my desired soundcard) [12:11] MonkeyDust: his ntfs partition isn't recognised in gparted [12:12] ah [12:12] missed that part [12:12] polishguy94: try changing to 1 [12:12] auronandace, thanks for reading my problems :) [12:12] shape: no worries [12:13] /etc/network/interfaces [12:13] 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] I want to compile lsm for shorewall on ubnutu-sever 12.04, How to do that, I never compiled anything before.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [12:13] polishguy94: how many bars are in that screen? [12:14] auronandace, basically if gparted sees the file system as unkown I am screwed right?

Obrigado. [12:16] 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] shape: yes, windows will overwrite grub [12:17] auronandace, is it hard to repair grub? [12:17] how do i set a higher monitor resolution, it currently only shows 1024x768 800x600 my monitor is 1920x1200 [12:17] polishguy94: hmm, well i'm perplexed [12:17] shape: not really [12:17] auronandace, nevermind I just found tons of wiki for that [12:18] auronandace: I've tried even this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577 [12:20] polishguy94: does the PPA help? === Aciid_ is now known as Aciid [12:20] zap0: what video chip?

[12:22] zap0: if its a virtual stystem then it will use virtual hardware [12:22] zap0: did you install guest additions? [12:23] ActionParsnip, yes. [12:23] 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] ActionParsnip: PPA does not help [12:24] polishguy94: personally i'd go for a reinstall [12:24] zap0: could use: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777759 just change the res to what you desire [12:24] auronandace: i am afraid that I might forget to back up something [12:25] AFK [12:25] 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 [12:26] so what is discussed in here ?

[12:49] shape: you can't undo that [12:49] dandre fresh install *is* required, tho, if you want to go from 32 to 64bit [12:50] 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] shape: it overwrites the mbr [12:50] faraway: could go to liveCD environment, chroot and fix things there [12:50] ok [12:51] 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] 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] auronandace, even though there was no mbr on sda2 [12:51] 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] _numbers: "echo $SHELL" says what after login? [12:52] <_numbers> /bin/bash [12:52] auronandace, so basically nothing happened then on sda2 correct? the mbr is still on sda [12:53] shape: mbr is always on sda [12:54] hi, what's the /tmp/python.cache_ubuntu for? it's taken up all of my inodes [12:54] shape: if you ran that command with sda2 instead then you've likely overwritten something on sda2 [12:54] auronandace, I see [12:54] shape: which may break the partition [12:55] Guess what! [12:55] I've fixed my audio [12:55] auronandace, is there a way to unbreak it? [12:55] fayaz: it's the python circle of friends [12:55] fayaz: more seriously, sounds like a bug. No idea, sorry.

[12:56] 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] shape: you'd need to reinstall/reformat (whatever that partition was for) [12:56] 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] Can GRUB be on one drive MBR, and boot Ubuntu from another? [12:57] I'd really want to get going because my ignorance is causing me headaches [12:57] Uninstall pulseaudio, run ALSA Upgrade Script Redux, set default device in /etc/asound.conf [12:57] krababbel, yes [12:57] shape: practise makes perfect, try messing around with vms if you need a safe practise ground === XuMuK|znc is now known as XuMuK [12:58] Has anyone a clue after reading this short error message what to do with the permissions? http://pastebin.com/4QTm8gZG [12:58] auronandace, vsm = virtual machine? like vmware and virtualbox?

[13:00] shape: you can restore that [13:00] Hello [13:01] krababbel, I know, but what I did was somehow break my partition. [13:01] Is there any way to have a /etc/hosts file writable by user ? Something like ~/.hosts ? [13:01] krababbel, gparted sees the windows partition as "unkown file system" [13:01] how do I get `keychain` to stop using GNOME keyring? [13:01] I've tried just shutting off the gnome-keyring-daemon process with pkill [13:02] shape: oh, I thought you only did it to sda, not sda2 [13:02] but then keychain fails entirely, unlike on systems with no GNOME keyring [13:03] serard: don't think so, the whole point of it being root-owned is so that users can't screw it up [13:03] 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] shape: OK, I see [13:04] Yes but I want my devs to be able to screw it as they want when they create .local websites [13:04] Where is this /etc/hosts being used & or configured ?

[13:05] chiliblue: when you login, make sure Ubuntu session is selected [13:05] chiliblue you can select it in lightdm [13:06] shape: sda1 is a partition of course, sda holds the mbr. The windows loader is on sda1 for instance I think. [13:06] krababbel, which is the windows partition, instead of putting it on dev/sda. Careless mistake. [13:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/964611/ [13:06] nobody a idea? [13:06] 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] krababbel, yes.

[13:45] that's a telephony client with sip channel support [13:45] chiliblue: do a backup - and most likely you will end up without big problems [13:45] Pici: is that native/integrated? [13:46] teabrick not here, try #ubuntu-offtopic [13:46] fidel my /home is aways on its own partition in anycase [13:46] 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] so empathy can do sip? [13:47] 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] zamba: supposedly. I have other issues with the way Empathy does things, so I'm not really the right person to ask. [13:47] does it mean root with the star "/dev/sda1 *" [13:47] but it seems it works pretty ok for most users ;) [13:47] 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] phzbox_: vps? [13:47] teabrick: ubottu is a bot, thus incapable of emotions such as "upset" [13:47] zamba: what have you tried? [13:47] teabrick: that's not what this channel is for, sorry [13:48] fidel_, ok, didn't mean to ask an worn out question [13:48] r4y, your root partition is identified as a file node under /dev, so it's full path and name is "/dev/sda1" [13:48] I can hit Esc and It interrupts logging in but then i cannot enter a password, login screen is useless [13:49] r4y, start denotes an active partition. which 9 out of 10 cases is, but sometimes may not be your root partition [13:49] 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] r4y, just answered, and made a typo: not "start" but "star" ;) [13:50] äh kann jemand deutsch? [13:50] I should say I have 1 hard drive connect which I think is an ext4 I believe [13:50] !de | jhelbling [13:50] jhelbling: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [13:50] 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] 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] that's weird, I don't think I've ever had lag before using irssi? is it just me? [13:50] ok === nyuszika7h is now known as sasl [13:50] IC [13:50] r4y, that's irrelevant now [13:50] looks like it's working [13:50] testi: are you using nvidia drivers? [13:50] gaelfx, yes [13:51] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek is happening right now in #ubuntu-classroom [13:51] :gaelfx: nope [13:51] i'll give it a shot [13:51] gaelfx i use irssi and sometimes *do* have lag, seconds, not minutes === sasl is now known as nyuszika7h [13:52] MonkeyDust: I was getting lag 120, now it's more reasonable [13:52] too bad it sucks [13:52] I am waiting to enable universe through software sources so I can install pastebinit [13:52] Just a quick question. What is the Terminal command that you can type to report problems to Launchpad? [13:52] cypher-neo: ubuntu-bug [13:52] might be part of the apport package [13:52] fidel_, Thanks. :) === heather is now known as Guest37238 === Frozensolid is now known as Frozenball [13:53] 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) === Guest_ is now known as SmasherX [13:54] 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] r4y, what do you mean by waiting? [13:55] fidel_, Is there an easy way to figure out the PID number of a program? [13:56] I am now installing pastebinit [13:56] cypher-neo: ps? [13:56] cypher-neo: pidof name? [13:56] 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] 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] testi: check this out, second reply down: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67680/why-does-compiz-use-25-cpu-while-idle [13:57] 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] I need to leave my computer for a little, I will be back in minutes [13:57] There's something wrong with LightDM [13:57] r4y: that's probably the smartest thing you'll do today ;) [13:57] r4y: about pastebinit, not leaving :P [13:58] i used terminal login then gdm'ed and here I am, using linux [13:58] lol [13:58] ok thanx gaelfx [13:58] polishguy94: congrats :D [13:58] good [13:58] polishguy94 whatever works :) [13:58] 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] Are there other reasonable DMs? [13:59] polishguy94: a lot of people like xubuntu-desktop [13:59] cypher-neo: but ubuntu-bug should NOT only work with pid - but also with package-name [14:00] if that helps [14:00] gaelfx: Doesn't this one force me to use xfce? [14:00] polishguy94: xfce is awesome [14:01] Oh yeah, guys, how can I stop Ubuntu from disconnecting my second VGA monitor when I close my laptop lid? :S [14:01] cypher-neo: it might be xprop to get window-details - not really sure [14:01] 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] hey, where is the boot menu.lst file stored in 12.04? [14:01] Beelsebob: no such thing, grub2 now [14:01] gaelfx, I wrongly assumed there's a dependency [14:01] Mayazcherquoi: configure the clamshell close energy -setting i guess [14:02] alankila: how do I go about getting it to automatically boot to option 0 with grub2? [14:02] fidel_: Err, how? :S lol [14:02] Beelsebob: menu.list is grub1, grub2 uses grub.cfg and config files in /etc/grub.d/ [14:02] Beelsebob: no idea. /etc/default/grub might have something [14:02] 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] you aren't supposed to edit the boot config file yourself anyway because it's generated from bunch of scripts [14:02] Mayazcherquoi: guessing here -> system-settings -> energy [14:02] Beelsebob: 12.04 use Grub2, and the is not a menu.lst in grub2. Look in /etc/default/grub. [14:02] fidel_: Oh, yeah, there's no such setting :( [14:03] i assume your laptop is going to sleep if you close it -> sleep affects your 2nd screen aswell [14:03] fidel_: No, it isn't. [14:03] hey, so the ubuntu live cd can't find my windows installation -- will i be do ok doing it manually? [14:03] Mayazcherquoi: it isnt what? [14:03] fidel_: It doesn't go to sleep. [14:03] I've already checked all that :P [14:03] any 1 here [14:04] knows about configuring banshee's clutterflow plugin ? [14:04] Mayazcherquoi: so tell us such things as part of your problem description ;) [14:04] saves times on all sides [14:04] Oasa: How can I help you/? [14:04] 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] SultansElephant: do what manually? [14:05] 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] testi: no problem, sorry it wasn't more helpful [14:05] 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] more immediately helpful anyhow [14:05] 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] i am having trouble compiling them === quiesense is now known as quiescens [14:05] but its not an option ya [14:06] SultansElephant: well, if you do it manually, then you can make a separate partition for /home, which I think is very convenient [14:06] has anyone been able to install adobe air on 64bit 12.04? [14:06] http://askubuntu.com/questions/126743/internet-access-problem-in-12-04 I checked this and I'm not sure what /etc/network/interfaces should look like when I add info...as in I'm not sure what I'm adding exactly from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original [14:06] need help with upgarding from 10.4 to 11 [14:06] nishttal2: you said the a-word...that's a no-no [14:06] This deals with getting my desktop wired connection to work [14:06] gaelfx, why? [14:06] 12.04 [14:07] gaelfx, is there another way to play pandora? [14:07] nishttal2: just joking [14:07] need help [14:07] amel: describe your problme [14:07] *problem === cjdavis_ is now known as cjdavis [14:07] amel, how may we help you [14:08] cannot upgrade from 10.10 to 11,04 says authenticatin problem [14:08] whenever i click upgrade in upgrade manager [14:08] !eol | amel [14:08] amel: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:08] Ahh wells, guess I'll have to try again tomorrow :-) [14:08] Thanks for your support, fidel_ :) [14:08] it says authentication problem with network or server [14:08] anybody else having problems with windows randomly moving partways between desktops in 12.04? [14:09] mcb_: interestingly, setting GRUB_TIMEOUT=2 still seems to display the menu permanently… am I hitting a bug here, or PEBKAC? [14:09] amel thats what. It has reached the end of service. Check the second link that ubottu provided [14:09] !eol | amel [14:09] amel: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:09] had a few problems in 11.10, but its getting really annoying in 12.04 [14:09] Oasa: did you regenerate the grub.cfg after modifications [14:09] alankila: What is that? [14:10] Oasa: run update-grub after you change /etc/default/grub. [14:10] I think I compiled clutter. But cant get clutter sharp [14:10] Oasa: actually I did not meant that to you. Sorry, confused something in my head. [14:10] > Beelsebob ;-) [14:10] np [14:10] Beelsebob: Also look at these options: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and [14:10] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [14:10] alankila: already run [14:11] Beelsebob: okay. Hmm. [14:11] mcb_: isn't that meant to be how long it takes before showing the menu? [14:11] 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] hello people? [14:11] Hi! Could you recommend a PPA for Node.js releases? [14:12] why does my terminal say no command deb found [14:12] ? [14:12] Beelsebob: I am not sure, but mine is working with those settings and if TIMOUTOUT=10...... [14:12] Beelsebob: you may have hit "recordfail" thing also. grub ignores the timeout you set if the recordfail thing evaluates to true [14:12] !deb | amel [14:12] amel: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [14:12] amel: deb is not a command, perhaps you want dpkg? [14:12] katspaugh: PPAs are unsupported, we never recommend them. [14:12] Just double click the file. amel [14:12] no like i just want to update my 10.4 [14:13] amel: then you need to click on the second link in the message ubottu has sent to you [14:13] amel: I suggest you do a clean install as you have reached EOL. [14:13] clean install? [14:13] !eol > amel [14:13] amel, please see my private message [14:13] jpds: I didn't realize it's the official channel. Thanks, I'll use the source then. [14:13] mcb_: you know why this isn't working… GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3 is being used… o.O [14:13] gaelfx, it hasn't stopped Unpacking python-configobj [14:13] I wonder why... [14:13] amel: Check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:14] r4y: what hasn't stopped unpacking? [14:14] 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] katspaugh: There's a nodejs package in the archives though. [14:14] With installing pastebinit, it hasn't passed this line: "Unpacking python-configobj (from .../python-configobj_4.7.1-1_all.deb) ..."

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] Although I now have a problem with LightDM refusing to log in as anyone that isn't... well... me [14:15] Or, rather the other way round. Can't log in as myself. Only guet [14:15] how do i upgrade grub? [14:15] guest* [14:16] 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] how do i do that? === lilstevie_ is now known as lilstevie [14:16] jpds, gaelfx, yeah, thanks. It's kinda old though. [14:16] Hello, I'm trying to get internet access on my debian machine but I can't seem to. ifconfig shows no eth0 [14:16] i downloaded the iso and then tried booting to it to my hardis kwhenevr i try that it says bootloader failed [14:17] amel: download an iso for 11.04, 11.10 or 12.04 and install it via CD or USB [14:17] i did try it with my harddisk it says bootloader failed [14:17] Can I close the terminal that didn't finish installing pastebinit, and start over [14:17] amel: What do you mean by booting into hardisk ? [14:17] yes like using the disk creator manager [14:18] r4y: you said it was hanging on the unpacking? [14:18] amel: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ? [14:18] 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] havent tried this will do thanks [14:18] yes [14:18] Hmm n [14:18] nyuszika7h: he's using 10.10, which recently hit EOL [14:18] O [14:18] h [14:18] Oh* [14:18] r4y: then it should be ok [14:18] is there a way to add pandora to gmusicbrowser? [14:19] it says 0 installed 0 upgarded [14:19] 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] Then what the others said... [14:19] how do i do that my first time [14:19] Wouldn't do-release-upgrade work? [14:20] Or whatever it was called [14:20] hey nyuszika7h!

[14:23] hello guys, using 12.04 64 bit [14:24] thomaspr: I believe amel is, but it seems he's not having such a good time of it [14:24] gaelfx forget pastebinit, I don't need it [14:24] gaelfx: sflphone [14:24] no i am still on the 10 :/ === fernando is now known as Guest32967 [14:24] want to upgrade to natty [14:24] r4y: but it's sooooo great [14:24] is ~500 processor wakeups / second normal behavior [14:24] my bad [14:25] need help with a clean install though my harddisk dsnt seem to do the job [14:25] Am i slleping? [14:25] amel: is there any reason you want to update to 11.04 instead of 12.04? [14:25] because i have the 11.04 iso :D [14:26] and 12.04 i heard has a little issuses? [14:26] amel: have you checked the md5 of the iso you downloaded? [14:26] 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] LTS having "little issues"? [14:26] no what is that [14:26] I heard itś available NEXT week ?

I obtained the values required from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original. [14:35] amel: did you check the md5?

Are you using a CD or a USB? [14:36] hardisk ntfs formatted [14:37] New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1) is not part of MAIN or UNIVERSE ??? [14:37] thomaspr: no [14:37] i use the create disk manager but at the end it says bootloader failed downloaded the iso from the official site [14:37] 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 === charlie is now known as Guest53604 [14:38] i did use that it says bootloader failed at the end :( [14:38] Are my comments appearing here?

It's a tradeoff. [15:39] not the insane 15 windows thing [15:39] alesan: it's never really bothered me to be honest [15:39] alesan: there is a python script somewhere to make it into one window [15:39] gaelfx: It has the menu entries, but also says in big angry letters not to edit the file.

[15:39] syddraf: /etc/default/grub [15:40] KM0201, "it has been released today" check www.gimp.org if you do not believe [15:40] syddraf: edit it as you need then run update-grub after to generate a new configuration file [15:40] 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] 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] Varsuchi: There's nothing in that file that has anything to do with the menu entries, though [15:41] syddraf: yeah, I realized that after the fact, sorry [15:41] alesan, the source code was released today it can take a few weeks before an actual package is released [15:41] 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] !latest | alesan [15:41] alesan: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [15:41] alesan: you just don't get it. [15:41] linuxmonkey, oh OK thanks! that makes sense [15:41] syddraf: what do you want to achieve? [15:42] linuxmonkey, but do you think they will integrate it? Or I will have to wait for Ubuntu 12.10 ??? [15:42] ActionParsnip: I want to remove some entries and reorder the list. [15:42] oh i like gimp 2.7 [15:42] err 8 [15:42] syddraf: that link i sent has instructions for adding different options... [15:42] syddraf: if you run: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image what is output? use a pastebin to host [15:43] @linuxmonkey: [15:43] What source code was released today ? [15:43] 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] thomaspr: gimp [15:43] syddraf: but there is a process for adding manual items in that article. [15:43] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/964897/ [15:44] 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] 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 === mohammed is now known as Guest47017 [15:44] Varsuchi: I don't see an article link, can you please post it again? [15:44] good night, #ubuntu [15:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [15:45] jsebean: display/themes/ [15:45] L3top: ??

[15:46] Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. [15:47] syddraf: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.0.* will leave you with only the precise kernel [15:47] I misunderstood your question then jsebean. I thought you were saying it was black and is now white. [15:47] https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18833 <-- anyone know how to fix this? [15:47] KM0201: are you on 1004? [15:47] thomaspr: that will need sudo :) [15:47] thomaspr: you are on natty, so oneric is next [15:47] 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] 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] it says to edit the limits file in /etc/security but everything in there is commented out [15:47] L3top: negative, 12.04 [15:47] * L3top is clearly confused [15:48] lol [15:48] 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] linuxmonkey, :( [15:48] TonciJukic_AFK: did you MD5 test the ISO? === TonciJukic_AFK is now known as TonciJukic [15:48] thomaspr: to upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 you need to go through 11.10 [15:49] thomaspr or fresh install [15:49] 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 :/ === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|znc [15:50] ThinkT510: Right, I forgot there's no jumping over releases in ubuntu ;-) [15:50] nibbler_: you need to install the cifs package [15:50] well, you can, but you're guaranteed to brick something. [15:50] lol [15:50] Are there known issues where installation or Live hangs making mouse almost non-responsive (insanely high latency) and Unity hanging? [15:51] Varsuchi: he doesn't have to install samba, to connect to a samba share [15:51] 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] thomaspr: you can go directly from lts to lts though, thats the only official way to "jump" releases [15:51] Varsuchi, installing cifs-utils.... [15:51] KM0201 I didnt say samaba [15:51] I said CIFS [15:51] oh, nevermind. [15:51] thats correct nibbler [15:51] that should fix it [15:51] ThinkT510 how is your battery time on 12.04 (if on it)? [15:51] he still shouldn't need to install cifs though i wouldn't think [15:52] you can install this too nibbler - alt.. [15:52] sudo apt-get install smbfs [15:52] i never installed it on this laptop, and i access cifs shares jsut fine [15:52] 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] Does 12.04 support AHCI or it needs IDE? [15:52] am using ubuntu 11.10 [15:52] TonciJukic: i'm always plugged into mains sorry === panda is now known as Guest85523 [15:53] 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] Varsuchi, same - it does not seem to accept my username/domain/password [15:53] what is the command you are using again? [15:53] i have installed 12.04 via usb and now it is unable to boot from hard disk, it just show blank screen [15:54] Guest85523: are you on the machine now? [15:54] KM0201, ok, i'll check it. thanks === 64MABEQ3M is now known as Seryth [15:54] Guest85523, try to edit the kernel line in the bootloader, remove quiet and splash, add: noapic lapic=off noacpi [15:54] KM0201- no [15:54] 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] right now i am using 11.10 [15:54] Guest85523: is it a dual boot, or is ubuntu the only OS? [15:55] only os [15:55] 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] nibbler- how to edit kernel? [15:56] 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] Guest85523: thats what i'm talking you through, we need to remove the splash so you can see the error. [15:56] 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] Guest85523, press a button when you see the boot menu and press e [15:56] which button? [15:56] shift... that should bring up grub [15:56] right shift [15:57] is it specifically right shift? [15:57] it brings up the bootloader menu [15:57] i think so [15:57] hmm, i thought it was just "shift" [15:57] ok [15:57] Guest85523: do you have the menu up? === Guest is now known as Pooky [15:58] syddraf: did it clean up ok? [15:58] 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] │ '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' [15:58] maybe the position of that sock changed [15:59] it just show the f1 and f9 key to press then nothing blank screen [15:59] Guest85523: listen, reboot the machine, as soon as you see the f1/f9 screen, start hitting right shift [15:59] 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] 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] km0201 -- then [16:00] Guest85523: do you have your grub menu up? [16:00] 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] KM0201- no [16:00] Noveau works, but I get strange hangs at times then [16:00] nibbler_, looks like mine is here: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [16:00] Guest85523: when the menu comes up, highlight the first kernel entry (not the recovery entry)... and hit e [16:01] and then [16:01] which seems to be where its looking [16:01] Wavesonics, ps waxl|grep mysqld [16:01] 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] Also, booting in safe mode always works when disconnected from power, I suspect it is a gpu powersaving bug [16:01] ok [16:02] nibbler_, http://pastebin.com/uX7bGayu [16:02] Wavesonics, did you try restarting mysql? does /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock exist? [16:02] hi, can you help me? [16:03] syddraf: no, you dont touch grub.cfg [16:03] syddraf: how do you want to reorder, do you want windows to be the top by any remote chance? [16:03] aldo: we will try [16:03] tnks a lot! [16:03] so, i have 5 pc [16:03] with Ubuntu [16:03] nibbler_, shit, wrong ssh window, 1 sec [16:04] and i use 1 pc for Ubuntu Server 12.04 [16:04] if I have remote access prompt disabled, can anyone think of why vnc from OS X would hang to ubuntu? [16:05] chrisgeorge, which ubuntu? [16:05] compdoc: 12.04 [16:05] ActionParsnip: Indeed, Windows at the top would be nice. [16:05] how can I do to connect this pc with ubuntu server? [16:05] syddraf: sudo mv 30_os-prober 08_os-prober; sudo update-grub [16:05] nibbler_, ha yup, mysqld was offline for some insane reason, started it up and bam, its all good [16:05] thanks a million man!! [16:05] chrisgeorge, what is in your .vnc/xtartup? [16:06] Wavesonics, welcome ;-) [16:06] 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] compdoc: interesting, it doesn't look like ~/.vnc even exists [16:06] 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] chrisgeorge, run vncpasswd, then run vncserver to create those files [16:07] then quit vncserver [16:07] ActionParsnip: Is the number at the beginning of "os-prober" just an ordering number or does it have to be 08? [16:07] chrisgeorge, .vnc is hidden, btw [16:07] interesting compdoc, looks like they weren't even installed even though I enabled remote access in ubuntu [16:07] compdoc: Yeah [16:08] And aptititude can't even find those files. Interesting [16:08] 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? === Strife|A is now known as Strife [16:08] 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] aldo: what are you wanting to connect? file share? nfs? and what 12.04 on all machines? [16:09] ah [16:09] vino is installed [16:09] yeah, vino comes with the desktop [16:09] looks like I need to get vncserver installed ;) [16:09] chrisgeorge, I like vnc4server [16:10] I'll give that a go compdoc. I apprecate it [16:10] appreciate [16:10] file share and use phpmyadmin in all pc [16:10] good luck [16:11] 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] do you understand? [16:12] ActionParsnip: Thanks again for all your help. You always seem to solve my problems.

[16:42] MrIronMan: Do you like the Unity interface you see? [16:42] Maya, big time!!! [16:42] :D [16:42] Maya, it is perfect for my grand parents, big and easy [16:42] Good luck with it. [16:43] Unity :S [16:43] k3 Unity [16:43] MrIronMan: Wait, do not just install that. [16:43] Maya, hum okay, what's on your mind? [16:43] MrIronMan: You should install compiz settings manager, and tweak how sensitive the unity tray opens. [16:43] funny how "Unity" really did not unite the community :D [16:43] anyone having issues with lightdm? [16:44] spow: indeed, more ironic than funny :) [16:44] spow: got a problem? [16:44] Maya, I am looking at the Welcome screen [16:44] i want to see whats in my SD Card i just put in but it didnt autopop up like in windows [16:44] ThinkT510: nah i'm fine, I got gnome back [16:44] 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] 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] Draton: is it a blank space? [16:45] anyone know how to change the screen dimming timeout in 12.04? [16:45] ThinkT510, It's a box w/ a question mark on it [16:45] Draton: its the icon in the .desktop file [16:45] Draton: oh [16:45] thomas91991: screensaver / power options in system settings [16:46] Hi guys. Are there any lists of known adware for ubuntu/linux? [16:46] anyone having any issues with lightdm? [16:46] Safari: Looking to remove it? [16:46] !anyone | borlax [16:46] borlax: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [16:47] thomas91991, brightness and lock in system settings [16:47] gonna have to brige up my connection to share it here, maybe I will go down [16:47] ActionParsnip, that's what I thought too, but the .desktop file shows properly, at least in /usr/share/applications [16:47] Any easy way to install mysql 5.1 in 12.04 [16:47] borlax: none at all [16:47] ActionParsnip, unless I'm at the wrong dir? [16:47] SafariMonkey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware [16:47] 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] Sorry, I am having an issue logging in with lightdm. it is hanging after i type in my password [16:47] Draton: yeah should be /usr/share/applications [16:48] borlax: tried the Unity2D session? [16:48] jgharris, yes. I seem to have a fedex banner on all flash content... [16:48] any idea why totem cant play mp4 ? [16:48] video [16:48] ActionParsnip, hmm, what file determines what's pinned to the bar? perhaps it's pointing at the wrong file? [16:48] yellabs-r2: Missing codecs. Might be. [16:48] Maya: it's about having a portable interface for tablets too right ? [16:48] odd [16:48] can i be on multiple networks on IRC? [16:48] Khmerog: yes [16:49] right now i'mon undernet and free node and quakenet [16:49] ActionParsnip: i did not, i have gdm running right now and that lets me in. [16:49] Any easy way to install mysql 5.1 in 12.04 ? [16:49] thanks simkin [16:49] what codec - package might i need for totem to play mp4 video ? mplayer can play it fine , totem not [16:49] Hello guys . i have a dedicated ubuntu server somwhere ( 24 gb ram ) can i install desktop and vnc and connect there remotly ?

Also you can install ClamAV to scan your drives [16:49] yellabs-r2: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:49] i did [16:49] abhinavlal: Can it be MySQL 5.5? [16:49] maybe reboot ? [16:49] LOL [16:49] Captain_Proton, there is no setting to set the timeout [16:49] skylined101: why do you need remote desktop? [16:49] Captain_Proton, that install mysql 5.5 [16:49] yellabs-r2: not really strange, totem is rather awful [16:50] I want to install vmware workstatioon [16:50] hehe [16:50] skyjumpe1, I run a nas box w/ SSH [16:50] i will go for the reboot, see if that helps [16:50] i need mysql 5.1 for a legacy application [16:50] 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] spow: The future seems to be going this way: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android Looks cool. [16:50] long shot [16:50] skylined101, rather... [16:50] skylined101: you can install vmware without a desktop...

[16:50] jgharris, I am sure it's local, it even plays on local swf files. [16:50] spow: Well, not exactly android, just interface wise. Looks cool on notebooks too. [16:51] skylined101: its a binary installer that runs in a terminal, you don't need a terminal for that [16:51] if i want to complain about a OP who do i talk to [16:51] SafariMonkey, Weird. Definately install ClamAV and see if it picks anything up. [16:51] Khmerog: me [16:51] yes but how can i manage vmware from terminal [16:52] SafariMonkey, I think there is some root kit detection programs out there too. [16:52] Khmerog: #ubuntu-ops i think [16:52] 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] skylined101: connect to it using the VIC [16:52] thanks [16:52] see in pic baloon popup "Add Live CD" still showing up. http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=7892 to witch pacage to report this? [16:53] 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] 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] abhinavlal, backports maybe but why would you want to there are BIG security fixes in the latter vrs [16:53] skylined101: runs well in Wine apparently: http://www.virtualinsanity.com/index.php/2009/02/02/vmware-infrastructure-client-on-ubuntu-an-update/ [16:54] 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] when using ubuntu precises volume management to create a crypted partition, whats used as backend? luks/cryptsetup? [16:55] ActionParsnip: Just went through and tried Ubuntu2D and still not luck there [16:55] How can I add/change a label for an NTFS partition? Running 12.04 if it matters. [16:55] !label | sin_tax [16:55] sin_tax: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [16:55] Thanks AP [16:55] I trust that's OK for internal drives as well? [16:56] !rootkit [16:56] !gq [16:56] Khmerog: Have you found your devices in /media ? [16:56] Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question. [16:56] 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] solved the totem not playing mp4, install restricted, but also uninstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [16:57] thomas91991, you have to install gconf-editor and dig around in there [16:58] http://askubuntu.com/questions/126030/totem-not-playing-certain-videos-in-12-04 [16:58] okay thanks [16:58] spow: I'm using eclipse+aptana right now, looks great. [16:58] aptana is great true [16:58] sin_tax: its a partition, so should be ok [16:59] Maya: I'm used to vi and pure C :P [16:59] Maya: so eclipse and java is a real pain [16:59] sin_tax: I hope you are using gparted. The interface for managing your partitions looks nice. More friendly [16:59] Maya: but Ubuntu is ages more evolved than just a few years back [17:00] so that's one good thing at least [17:00] how to know my routers ip? [17:01] kiran-: the internmal IP or the external one? [17:01] kiran-: it has 2 [17:01] 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] 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] ActionParsnip tell me both [17:01] so thanks again great community of ubuntu users ! :) [17:01] kiran-: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17012/how-to-find-your-ip-address-in-ubuntu/ [17:01] kiran-: go to www.ipchicken.com to see external [17:02] syddraf: that was happening to me when i chose the updated version [17:02] Maya no . not my ip. the routers page ip [17:02] kiran-: Visit Snoopmyip.com for external ip. [17:02] syddraf: try the other one if you didn't [17:02] 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] ActionParsnip no . not my ip. the routers page ip [17:02] kiran-: ip route show | grep default | awk '{ print $3}' will show your internal IP [17:03] 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] sin_tax: That page shows your internal Ip too. [17:04] 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] Hopefully a reboot fixes my latest problem... /crossedfingers [17:04] hi [17:05] maheanuu: is it ok in newer versions, like Precise? [17:05] anyone in here using ubuntu on amd's abrazo? [17:05] maheanuu: Try: sudo alsa force-reload [17:05] 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] 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] maheanuu: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then try some sound stuff [17:06] 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] Is there anywhere i can look in the logs for errors? [17:06] ActionParsnip, Maya, I have no newer version, and will try a force reload and a killall [17:06] ActionParsnip, I will be right back [17:07] 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] need to monitor network bandwidth for each and every pc's, pls help me... [17:07] Dommer: if you have multiple sound cards try hitting f6 in alsamixer [17:07] 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] wawowe only one. Its a laptop :| [17:08] 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] 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] splnet: did you check that it is not repeated twice on the Startup preferences¿ [17:08] sin_tax: you still require root access to mount/unmount partitions. Just prepend the command with sudo [17:09] walbert: Landscape is available but its not free. [17:09] Dommer: there should be a virtical bar in alsamixer with headphone under it [17:09] Maya ActionParsnip how to get.. at the router seetings page? i have 2 routers. i cant get the ip of second one [17:09] wylde, well, with one of my NTFS partitions I can just do it via nautilus, but this one is throwing that error [17:09] Dommer: if not then there may be an issue with the driver [17:09] wawowe I know there _should be_, but it is not available [17:09] Dommer: what kind of sound card does it have? [17:10] 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] xangua: let me check that [17:10] kiran-: if so, disconnect one wire and access the router [17:10] walbet: Are you looking to do asset management? [17:10] sin_tax: did you try it with sudo? I believe nautilus use gvfs for mounting. [17:10] intel 82801DB-ICH4 [17:10] i can't find gtk+-2.0 glib-2.0 gthread-2.0 in the 12.04 repo [17:10] intel 82801DB-ICH4 wawowe [17:11] ActionParsnip how to trace route? [17:11] jgharris: not particularly, i just need ssh and sftp [17:11] how do I delete old data of incremental backups with duplicity? [17:11] using multiple monitors, does anyone know how to remove the panel at the top from the screens other than the primary? [17:11] kiran- zenmap is an applicatio for ip ping, trace route, whois, and more. Good to look into. [17:11] ActionParsnip, Maya, I tried both with no results and AC I will post the res7 [17:11] Say I have weekly scheduled backups but want to clean up all backup older than a week [17:11] 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] walbet: Should just need write a bash script then. [17:12] hector: it's in the "Displays" section of system settings, under Launcher placement [17:12] kiran-: you'll need to install the tracerote package then the command is also traceroute, not tracert like in windows [17:13] jgharris: yeah, I was resigning to that, but figured I'd ask in here first [17:13] 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] ActionParsnip i think by that i can find my 2 ips|? [17:13] landscape looks interesting, but doesn't exactly fit the use case i've got in mind [17:13] walbert: Hehe. [17:14] Dommer: what is in alsamixer? master pcm etc [17:14] hey walbert: it just shows one huge screen called "Laptop" even though its two desktop monitors =/ [17:14] hi [17:14] <__Alex_> Anyone experienced with Busybox, is there a way i can make ash use a startup script? [17:14] is there any one to help me? [17:14] 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] 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] hmm, i'll try setting it to All first and then set it back to Laptop [17:16] didnt work :( [17:16] Dommer: also what does aplay -l say [17:17] 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] hi [17:17] thanks walbert :) [17:17] meraj: what do you need help with? [17:17] 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 [17:18] anyone in here know anything about fluxbox?

[17:23] maheanuu: no, run it in a terminal and select to upload to the server [17:23] meraj: you want to use both keyboards at the same time?

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] internet accessible again though [18:21] Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks for all the help - glad I can finally get back to what I was doing heh [18:23] I suggest you never ever sudo apt-get autoremove [18:23] This happens on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, by the way [18:23] wawowe: but I want get rid of this error [18:23] It broke a ton of shit [18:23] 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] any other stuff to try (I have banners on all flash content, including youtube and local files) [18:23] abhinavmehta: well in your specific case it's more like a warning [18:23] just use apt-get soa2ii [18:23] Tiktalik: Why? [18:23] wawowe: coz that single error brings by cluster-down…coz in my script if anything goes wrong…my whole cluster gets rollback [18:24] soa2ii: because just about everyone uses it [18:24] Tiktalik: Yeah … that makes sense … [18:24] how to fix a current install from a live USB [18:25] 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. === ubuntu is now known as Dominic2k [18:25] 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] myFriend depends, how is your system broken? [18:26] it emoved essential packages for my video driver, Dr_willis_ [18:26] abhinavmehta: that error shouldn't stop your script [18:26] Tiktalik: it is unlikely that that was the source of whatever broke anything... it just deletes the source packages, not their installs [18:26] hi Johnny [18:26] well i just booted from the USB [18:26] and only deletes those packages that it does not believe are installed [18:26] the system was broken in an upgrade step [18:27] abhinavmehta: because nothing is actually breaking [18:27] myFriend have you tried running the fixbuntu script? [18:27] Johnny to ubuntu 12.04, i tried several things on recovery mode pdkg fsck none worked [18:27] 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] what is that script? [18:27] where is that located Johnny? [18:27] Tiktalik, so? ;) [18:27] 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] myFriend http://freenodewatch.org/fix-ubuntu [18:27] s/loose/lose [18:28] 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] abhinavmehta: could try to hide the error with: apt-get install puppet 2>/dev/null [18:28] wawowe: hmmm…its like adding exception for this command. :) [18:28] wawowe: yeah..you have a good point :) [18:28] L3top, it deleted nvidia-cg-toolkit [18:28] *.deb perhaps. [18:29] 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] hello [18:31] guys is http://freenodewatch.org/fix-ubuntu a good script? [18:31] or a baddy one? === Eidel_ is now known as Eidel [18:32] myFriend, might I ask you why you would trust a random script? [18:33] "fix-ubuntu" is a bit ambiguos, and is... 600kb big? I wouldn't touch it. [18:33] Resistance: i am trying to fix my ubuntu [18:33] 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] myFriend, i would not trust random scripts [18:34] yeah Johnny what makes you think this is a good script? [18:34] it's a binary not a script, so.. even worse from a trust perspective [18:34] Johnny: recommended it to me [18:34] myFriend, rather, just ask here about what your problem is and perhaps we can help [18:34] yeah Johnny contacted me in private I guess i am not sure [18:34] thought he was just trying to help but this script does not look good [18:35] Johnny: can you back up your sources why this script could be helpful [18:35] where did you find pointers to this? [18:35] myFriend, don't trust random privmsgs [18:35] its an IT Security recommendation, not a random recommendation, that. [18:35] wylde, how to switch on web interface of mediatomb? [18:35] yeah i will not, ok so i am left with my problem [18:35] myFriend, provide details here, perhaps we can help [18:35] broken ubuntu upgrade and now on USB try terminal [18:35] ghabit: http://localhost:49152 [18:35] what do i run?

[18:36] myFriend, what error(s) is it giving you? [18:36] 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] hi, I can't hear audio anymore, on 11.10. From what can I start in order to solve= [18:37] ? [18:37] Resistance: error on which command, when booting? [18:37] mhm [18:37] plouffe: Go to "update manager" -> "Configuration" buttom --> Notify me of new versions of Ubuntu" === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance [18:37] 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] EvilResistance: let me fetch them from the logs [18:38] myFriend, use a pastebin if its multiline [18:38] !pastebin | myFriend [18:38] myFriend: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

What make/model tv is it? Some hardware requires some configuration in the /etc/mediatomd/config.xml file.

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] plouffe: But as i recall, it will tell you beforehand to what version it will try to upgrade. [18:40] 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] gameid: I had an 11.10 and i was notified to upgrade to 12.04....... [18:41] gameid, hmm so only option to wait [18:41] mcb_: yeah but that's not lts [18:42] gameid: Should be the same to 10.04 that was LTS... [18:42] plouffe: you can upgrade in steps [18:42] gameid, yea, no [18:42] is jre not available in ubuntu repos [18:43] the regular one from java [18:43] 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] plouffe: ^ [18:43] Pici, thanks [18:43] Pici: right, good to know [18:45] cookiemon5ter: you mean the one from Sun? No. You have to go there to get the official. [18:45] !java | cookiemon5ter [18:45] cookiemon5ter: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

[18:52] let me reask a question from earlier today, perhaps someone around now knows... [18:52] 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] 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] how do i move locked programs on the dock (12.04)? it just slides the whole bar (e.g. all icons) [18:53] RavenHursT, that setting has been changed. I recall the webupd8 blog site had a guide on getting that feature back. [18:54] RavenHursT, i always set mine to never hide. and just shrunk the icon size. [18:54] DanielConvissor: that did it, along with e2label, thanks [18:54] Dr_willis_: any idea what the article was called? [18:55] 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] RavenHursT, also the OMGubuntu! site may have a guide/howto on it. [18:56] 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] RavenHursT: bug 930148 has links to several articles [18:57] Launchpad bug 930148 in unity (Ubuntu) "Dodge windows is down but what about making the launcher autohide only on maximised apps ?"

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] RavenHursT, you are using unity3d and not unity2d? [18:57] wow Johnny was a hacker [18:57] Dr_willis_: how can I tell? lol [18:57] ok i am back with my ubuntu problem [18:57] evening [18:57] anyone trustworthy can help me? [18:58] myFriend, Johnny walker? [18:58] Hi, what's the best way to create a usb installer for Ubuntu 12.04? My OS is Debian. [18:59] sasha1, no best really but unetbootin is popular [18:59] Perhaps I can just use dd? [19:00] sasha1, I believe you can with 12.04 [19:00] sasha1: if you knew what you were doing dd could be useful [19:00] Ok. Good, thanks [19:00] sasha1, what about the bootloader? [19:00] 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] sasha1: but you would end up with something not optimised for flash [19:00] "sudo apt-get install -f" does not help [19:01] neither does "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a" [19:01] 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] madsj, you getting a partial upgrade offer in the manager? [19:02] 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] hi °°b [19:03] there is a built-in "Startup Disk Creator" in 12.04 [19:03] Dr_willis_: how can I tell which unity I'm using (2D or 3D)? === bill is now known as Guest1928 [19:04] 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] 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] ok.. wtf? I installed MyUnity and clicked to start it... it's sitting in the launcher, but no window ever came up [19:05] if i do a reinstall from the usb install will it keep my data?

[19:07] Stormx2: what didi you put in debug mode? client or server? [19:07] no [19:07] Fyodorovna: yes, but that doesn't help either [19:07] myFriend, is your home folder on a separate partion [19:07] SunTsu, client. Just passed it -v [19:07] Captain let me check i don't think so [19:07] I deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info/emacs* because I had trouble with emacs [19:07] no all is on one folder [19:07] Stormx2: Debugging from the client won't help [19:07] madsj, I was not speaking to you and welcome to my ignore. :) [19:07] what can i do now? should i lost all my data? === peter is now known as pweber [19:08] i wish to just fix this current install [19:08] but how to do it? [19:08] ii have been forever trying to ask here :'( [19:08] SunTsu, it won't? But it's surely a client-side issue [19:09] is there a way to make the notification appear on both screens ? [19:09] 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] 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] Stormx2: how do you know that it's client related and not server? [19:09] When Ubuntu is booting on an EFI Mac, does it depend on EFI initially to display graphics? [19:10] SunTsu, 3 different servers, friends can SSH into em [19:10] 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] upgrade-manager -d [19:10] Stormx2: then use more -v [19:10] One is a totally different machine running in another datacentre on another continent [19:10] SunTsu, OK [19:10] Anyone have any ideas?

[19:12] I'm trying to kill it.. [19:12] see if I can't open it again [19:12] myFriend, you need to add sudo [19:12] myFriend, before any command [19:12] Stormx2: run a different one [19:13] myFriend, my fault did not added that to command [19:13] What is a zombie process, and how can I find/kill it ? [19:14] 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] 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] dale: and "what's dead can never die" ;) [19:14] antonio_: why do you need to find its folder for brushes? [19:14] 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] rc.local?

I dont know what to write in ubuntu version, nothing works... I am using ubuntu 12.04LTS [19:15] Or do scripts have to terminate quickly if you put them in rc.local?

You could also just use @reboot in root's crontab or create a proper upstart script [19:15] why does linux not set up users on install? [19:15] does anyone know how to get ttys back ? [19:16] hmm, ok :) [19:16] 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?

It sets up at least one [19:16] antonio_: if you're sure that's the right path, you can create it [19:17] jrib: strange thing is "nautilus gimp" command can't find it and it's installed ?

[20:34] How would I go about changing the size of icons on the desktop, and in the dock/launcher ? [20:34] :i figured out that :) [20:35] 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] dale: Unity or Gnome ? [20:35] Jordan_U, i tryied this, but it couldnt help me [20:35] unity [20:35] oles: What happened when you tried it? [20:36] dale: Click on Change Dekstop Background and change Launcer icon size [20:36] Jordan_U, kernel boot hanged [20:36] dale: and for icon you can just right click and resize [20:37] oles: Are you sure that you added "noacpi" to the same line as "quiet splash"? [20:37] :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] Oasa; I can change the background, but dont see anything about launcher icon size [20:37] akhil_: Let it update the cache. [20:37] oles: Then pressed ctrl+X or F10 to boot the modified entry? [20:37] but its taking too much size? [20:37] Jordan_U, yes [20:37] dale: there is something called launcher icon size towards the bottom. Btw, which version of unity ? [20:38] Oasa; ubuntu 11.10 [20:38] On upgrade to precise it seems that the bootloader is not being found. How do I troubleshoot? [20:38] dale: i recommend you to install myunity. That takes care about many customizations [20:38] ciao atutti === ajf__ is now known as ajf [20:38] wurble: What do you mean by "the bootloader is not being found"? What are the actual symptoms you see? [20:38] !lista [20:38] mauri54: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [20:39] Changing the icon size works, but only changes the one single icon.. I want all of them on desktop changed to the same size. === SultansElephant is now known as rageahamlincoln [20:39] oasa, I will check into that. Thanks === rageahamlincoln is now known as ragelincoln [20:39] dale: [20:39] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:myunity/ppa [20:39] sudo apt-get update [20:39] sudo apt-get install myunity [20:39] Oasa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:39] ty [20:39] Can anyone help me with getting an Intel GMA3600 running with 3d capable drivers? [20:40] Jordan_U: Black screen, caps and scroll lock flashing [20:40] oles: Can you boot from a LiveCD/USB? [20:40] wurble: That sounds like a kernel panick, not like a problem with the bootloader. [20:41] Jordan_U: What would a bootloader failure look like? === Guest60514 is now known as Bogdaniel [20:41] wurble: it doesnt start up itself :P [20:41] hello t0rx__ still not running 3d accel? [20:41] ok then thanks everyone and bye :) [20:41] 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 === Bogdaniel is now known as Guest12123 [20:41] where to register nick name #channel ? [20:41] akhil_ bye [20:41] itaws: /msg nickserv [20:42] 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] is gnome-menu still available? [20:42] 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] itaws: /msg nickserv help [20:42] Jordan_U: Okay, I'll try to reboot and get into grub menu [20:43] wurble: Hold shift during boot and try booting from an older kernel.

I wonder if your GPU does not have a problem... [20:45] Marzata, thanks [20:45] 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] dale: Hope myunity fixed your problem. [20:45] Oasa, I probably should.. Probably more used to gnome then unity. lol [20:45] s'was'is [20:45] Just finished installing, about to take a look at it [20:45] dale: :) [20:45] Thanks again Oasa! [20:45] dale: Welcome [20:46] but how to do it privately because i think it is not done publically ! [20:46] 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] itaws: it is private [20:46] Has anyone run into an issue with lightdm hanging after the password is entered? It just sits there with the "Logging in" text. [20:47] do u mean that i can type it in #ubuntu channel ? [20:47] borlax: Can you confirm if you are using a laptop [20:47] Oasa: I am. === adriano is now known as Guest21475 [20:48] 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] borlax: an hp one? [20:48] Is there anyway to upgrade javaHL on Ubuntu 12.04 ? [20:48] Oasa: Its an Asus [20:48] borlax: does it have 2 gpus ? [20:48] 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] Oasa: No, it has one onboard [20:49] Oasa: i5 proccessor [20:49] 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] Does anyone know how to get subclipse working. It says I need a later version of javaHL?? [20:50] Oasa: i can try to get the log files [20:50] 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] 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] Oasa: installing gdm lets me into the system, i just would rather have lightdm [20:50] sry ! [20:50] 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] 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] hmm..borlax. Can you see if you have Rendering on ? [20:51] dale: [20:52] L3top, Is there a way I can see info about my GPU or it's driver or something? [20:52] lshw -c video [20:53] Torx: lshw -c video [20:53] Does anyone know how to get subclipse working. It says I need a later version of javaHL?? [20:53] dale: if am right [20:53] maximida_: "apt-get source packagename" will download that package's source (saving it in your current directory). [20:53] 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] 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] dale: Open any folder and go edit->preference [20:54] and change the icon % [20:54] but i suppose it affects all icons not just the desktops [20:54] 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] but there;s where you have to dig [20:55] 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] dale: Some one else should be able to help you :( [20:55] oops... nm, I'm running the wrong command... [20:55] sliddjur: Linux's file caching is good, I don't expect you'll get much benefit from loading everything into RAM at boot. === dwarder_ is now known as dwarder [20:56] 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] 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] wierd [20:57] dale: :S [20:58] sliddjur: Ubuntu LiveCDs support a "toram" kernel parameter which copies everything into RAM at boot. [20:58] how do I open a file with a program that is in a lower directory? I have tried with "/" and "\" but, uhm [20:58] caNtGetMuchMoreN: use "../../" [20:58] hi everyone ! it's my fist time on irc ! [20:59] *first [20:59] caNtGetMuchMoreN: (and so on, every "../" is for one level) [20:59] I meant is is in a folder in the folder of the program.. :P [20:59] not above it [20:59] Meh. What a complete pain in the rear. [20:59] raelsam: What brings you to #ubuntu? [20:59] Why something so easy has to be so complicated is beyond me. [20:59] how to install update by terminal ? [20:59] lmao [21:00] its called hemoroides :P [21:00] JordanU: that command switched to ncurses and not ncurses-examples :( === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ [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] @itaws sudo apt-get upgrade [21:00] caNtGetMuchMoreN: Use "./foldername/programname" [21:00] sudo apt-get upgrade [21:01] make sure you do sudo apt-get update before that [21:01] |Slacker|: Open Restricted Drivers again, select the driver and mark "Disable" [21:01] ah [21:01] Ok, but what about installing ubuntu on a USB stick, are home folder files and such saved onto the USB stick then? [21:01] elgaton: thanks! [21:01] caNtGetMuchMoreN: You're welcome [21:01] i used that command it is not installing all update ? [21:01] maximida_: That's because the source package "ncurses" creates many binary packages, one of which is ncurses-examples. [21:01] itaws: :S [21:01] 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] like Oasa said make sure you've got sudo apt-get update before [21:02] Jordan_U I see, so how could I get the source? [21:02] maximida_: You just did. [21:02] Oh, i see [21:02] Brustofski-Fan: Open a terminal and issue the command "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" [21:02] must i write very directory from root? the terminal is in "root" i guess [21:03] caNtGetMuchMoreN: Just use "cd foldername" to enter the directory you want to go into [21:04] |Slacker|: which graphics card type are you using (ATI, nVidia or Intel)? [21:04] 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? === xmad is now known as chuy [21:04] elgaton, after i asked that i figured thats what it was [21:04] caNtGetMuchMoreN: Yes (make sure to put a "./" in front of the program name, however) [21:05] L3top, Not sure if this helps but here is a lspci -v -s dump: http://paste.ubuntu.com/965570/ [21:05] im just wring the program name as it is, has worked so far [21:05] <|Slacker|> elgaton, nvidia [21:05] nomather which folder im in [21:05] <|Slacker|> elgaton, geforce 7100 [21:06] <|Slacker|> onboard [21:06] |Slacker| get the noveaux driver [21:06] 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] when I try to cd myself there, I get bash: ./rootdirectoryname: No such file or directory.

[21:07] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau [21:07] |Slacker| [21:07] <|Slacker|> thanks [21:07] caNtGetMuchMoreN: What is the exact command you ran? [21:07] itaws: LTS is no different from the others. Just that it is a bit stable [21:07] t0rx__: sudo lshw -C video [21:07] more stable* and you get 6 years [21:07] of service [21:07] excact: cd pentest [21:08] then cd ./pentest [21:08] then cd /pentest [21:08] LTS | itaws [21:08] i know that u guys anwser on this q/ but i got xps..laptop ...on intel i 7 with nvdia gt 555m . dont know how to config ..or if i can ...i got acutaly 2 simular laptop s so i can try ..( on bout 12.04 fresh instal ) [21:08] sorry! [21:08] Oasa: 5 years support [21:08] !LTS | itaws [21:08] itaws: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [21:08] last one I hadent tried! [21:08] witch worked :P [21:08] hy folks: How come the Wifi connection with Ubuntu 12.04 is slow as hell? I tried some sollutions, but they increased the speed for 1 min or less [21:08] caNtGetMuchMoreN: No problem - glad you figured it out [21:08] caNtGetMuchMoreN: What are you actually trying to run, and why? [21:08] only the recommended updates are not getting upgrades ! [21:08] ThinkT510 : itaws: 5 years. Sorry [21:09] Jordan_U: nah, you will hate one me :P [21:09] hi [21:09] hi all, anyone a good tutorial for installing an ubuntu using debootstrap? [21:09] hi arkavalefear [21:09] I have a 11.10 running but I want to downgrade to a 10.04LTS [21:10] tafelpoo1: You'll need to reinstall from scratch [21:10] Jordan_U: trying to learn aircrack-ng on my iphone shared wifi connection to the workstation. :P [21:10] !downgrade | tafelpoo1 [21:10] tafelpoo1: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. === knoppix_ is now known as LunarLander [21:10] hello [21:10] tafelpoo1: Also, you should not be running such an old version on your system. Upgrade to 12.04 if possible. [21:11] 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] How well does Ubuntu 12.04 LTS run on 512 mb RAM?

[21:12] Anyone? [21:12] Can precise pangolin run on a galaxy tab? [21:12] BlueWolf: It did not fix :S Did you try additional drivers? [21:12] elgaton: I have my reasons to use 10.04LTS. The downgrade will be done using debootstrap [21:12] Simplew: File a bug report in Launchpad [21:12] !eyecandy| itaws [21:12] itaws: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [21:12] elgaton: any experience with that?

(driconf tells me no dri device is detected, i installed this app with apt-get install driconf) [21:13] Can precise pangolin run on a galaxy tab? [21:13] tafelpoo1: No, unfortunately not. It's usually recommended to install from scratch in those cases, anyway. [21:13] or maybe I can ask as this is a maybe general question and I am normally using ubuntu [21:14] 404 Not Found [21:14] Lunar_Lander: Well, if it's general, go on :) [21:14] 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] 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] and I don't know why [21:14] as I said that happened immediatly when opening up the browser [21:14] 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] Anyone using fglrx? my x log says libfglrxdrm.so cant be loaded [21:15] BlueWolf System-> menu somewhere :S [21:15] How well does Ubuntu 12.04 LTS run on 512 mb RAM? Desktop edition by the way [21:15] BlueWolf I forgot non-unity interface [21:15] Oasa: Oh ya I have, No luck - what next? [21:15] Marlinc, 1 gig is suggested at the ram amount I would run lubuntu. [21:16] BlueWolf: in System Settings [21:16] !lubuntu | Marlinc [21:16] Marlinc: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [21:16] 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] Didn' t think about Lubuntu thanks [21:16] 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] elgaton: debootstrap is a clean install.. so that is ok... [21:16] BlueWolf: So you have installed prop driver from the additional driver? [21:16] but yeah [21:16] They got the same repositories so that won'' [21:16] They got the same repositories so that won't give problems [21:16] Thanks [21:16] ah elgaton [21:17] Oasa: Yes Thats when I open up NVIDIA X Server Settings in system>Administrator this message comes up: [21:17] anyone else have the chromium problem where you can't move tabs around?

[21:23] is it possible to pin packages by mask instead of specify each package one by one? === whoever is now known as Guest19378 [21:23] Oasa: Not sure, It looks like it [21:24] BlueWolf: searching for man-db says its a online manual (man Command_ pager [21:24] so it doesnt matter [21:24] try installing nvidia-current now [21:24] and see [21:24] now that there is no [21:24] noveau [21:24] it shud work fine [21:24] Oasa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:25] BlueWolf: It seems you had two drivers at the same time. [21:26] Oasa: when you use nvidia i think the nouveau driver just gets blacklisted/disabled rather than removed [21:26] " Anyone using fglrx? my x log says libfglrxdrm.so cant be loaded" [21:26] ? [21:26] Oasa: Strange - Ok it's removing. From the System ? [21:26] ThinkT510 Please help BlueWolf then [21:26] :( [21:26] Oasa: you don't need to purge it for the nvidia driver to work [21:26] He is entering low graphics mode repeatedly [21:27] anyone know of a repo for ruby 1.9.2 for Lucid? [21:28] Oasa: sorry, i've never had that problem so not sure how to help him [21:29] 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] ThinkT510: when he opens nvidia control panel it says no nvidia. SO i thought noveaux is still being used [21:29] Oasa: sounds like he tried using the nvidia driver from the website rather than the repo [21:30] ThinkT510: he used it from the repo only. [21:30] Is there a way to adjust the screen brightness from the desktop? [21:30] Oasa: hmm, odd, i've never experienced any problems with the driver from the repo [21:30] LIke volume control [21:31] but for screen brightness? [21:31] wie prüf ich ob ein grafikkarten treiber installiert ist? [21:31] stefansdfa: #ubuntu-de [21:32] Oasa: i was just about to ask him to pastebin lsmod, but it appears he's left [21:32] ThinkT510: hmmm [21:34] hm ThinkT510 is the other person who just helped me still here? [21:34] Lunar_Lander: i think he left too [21:34] hm [21:34] just restarted, and the thing happened again [21:35] Lunar_Lander: what happened, i wasn't here for the first part [21:35] I started iceweasel and it has connections to google, ebay, yahoo, amazon, noscript developer [21:35] ah I got my knoppix DVD at the moment [21:35] What is the 'alternative' release? Next to desktop and server. [21:35] and when I started iceweasel I looked at netstat out of interest [21:36] and found that iceweasel talked to amazon, google, yahoo, ebay, the noscript site [21:36] 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] !alternative | Marlinc [21:36] Marlinc: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[22:05] <|Pasha> OccupyDemonoid: samba server will do that [22:05] soner, if you're using a partitioner you could just reformat it if there is nothing to save. [22:05] hi, is anyone using "remind" command? [22:06] |Pasha, for files that are on the local hard drive? [22:06] OccupyDemonoid: you can also use mediatomb [22:06] <|Pasha> OccupyDemonoid: you can specify which directories or files that who want to share [22:06] 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] OccupyDemonoid: then you can stream the music to dlna capable devices (ps3 and tvs and such) [22:07] Ah, thank you for the tips Simkin and |Pasha. I will give them a try. :) [22:07] DoctorPepper: btrfs is still experimental... just incase you didn't know [22:07] I have a device driver question... === jlen is now known as palomer [22:08] I have finally got my laptop fingerprint reader to work in login using ubuntu 12.10 [22:08] Simkin: i know , but i have been using it for nearly two years and i didnt have any real issue.

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] Can anyone help me figure this out? [22:11] 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] pgib, what release are you running right now? [22:12] 11.10 [22:13] There used to be an Update Manager I thought, but it is gone now [22:13] ey opacetic, google have a lot answers for you ;) [22:13] pgib, try alt-f2 then insert update-manager -d [22:14] DoctorPepper: that is distressing. [22:14] DoctorPepper: i've only upgraded one machine to 12.04 so far... so far no problems [22:14] 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] 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] pgib, in software sources is a tab that has a choice of upgrades take a look. [22:17] anyone using ati/fglrx ?

I'm not sure what you meant [22:56] mohamedtouj: #winehq [22:56] dashavoo: if extundelete finds things it means they got deleted by something like an "rm -rf" command [22:56] pgib i know not of LMMS [22:57] ok. just wondering - we used to have a really enthusiastic user with the same username [22:57] is Suspend the Windows Stand By mode in Ubuntu? [22:57] phaidros: that is what I assumed, judging by the things that it picked up [22:57] dashavoo: sorry to say, but extundelete seems your last hope. [22:57] how do i install a key for a repository [22:57] mikubuntu, if you want help here your language tone and content is going to have some not respond, just a heads up. ") [22:57] hello [22:58] :( I thought as much... any idea how it could have happened? [22:58] dashavoo, assuming, of course, you really do, honest to God, have the partition in question mounted where you think it is mounted [22:58] 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] 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] phaidros: my bank balance is negative, so that option is out [22:58] nevermind [22:58] 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] metals, probably a good analogy but you can look up suspend if you like. [22:59] Kinda Hibernation? === Guest19378 is now known as whoever [22:59] Suspend = Sleep to me [22:59] suspend is like standby, yes [22:59] arand, IIRC linux suspend = sleep. suspend to disk = hibernate [22:59] 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] pgib: Though normally suspend and hibernate are used to distingush them. [23:00] mikubuntu: which desktop environment? unity? gnome? lxde? [23:00] mikubuntu: Just hit alt-tab [23:00] anyone seen this: when swithcung users in unity sometimes system just goes to sleep [23:01] 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] phaidros i have all on my laptop, but lxde (lubuntu?) seems not to work since update [23:01] The user theme extension is working following installation thru the webupd8.com site. Doesn't work if you install thru the gnome extensions site. === paddy is now known as Guest61618 [23:01] 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] 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] phaidros - got any good info about getting started in awesome [23:01] like any resources you can share? or do you not use it [23:01] What would be the best web browser for ubuntu? Is firefox the best? [23:01] tarwich, are there any labels on the partitions "rectangles" ? [23:01] like "/" ? [23:02] s/dare/care [23:02] pgib: Negative. [23:02] ga . [23:02] Scroggins10: I prefer chrome [23:02] However… The min is different for each. [23:02] tarwich, tried clicking on one? [23:02] jackjackw: I used to use it, imho the arch linux guys have some awesome docs about awesome .. rofl [23:02] phaedra, no not in terminal :( [23:02] hello [23:02] ki4ro: nope, nothing happens for me with alt tab [23:02] Does anyone know how I could stripe 5 block devices into a new virtual device without writing to them? :D [23:02] 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] lmao, cheers phaidros [23:03] mikubuntu: How about pushing the mouse all the way to the left hard [23:03] rootnoobtux: cant help you there, as I never ever felt like needing icons for apache / mysql in linux. honestly [23:03] ki4ro: nope, nada [23:04] mikubuntu: Hmmm...sorry to say that's the limit of my ideas [23:04] f0urtyfive: hmmm, mdadm docs might help. read carefully [23:04] 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] 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] hi i installed ubuntu as a dual boot i recieved a error and not it freezes any ideas ? [23:04] because i'm stuck at the logon area. [23:05] 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] mikubuntu: without telling what desktop environment you have actually running people here can only wild guess on their glass sphere ;) [23:05] phaidros: I've tried a few times with mdadm, it seems theres no way to create anything w/o writing a superblock [23:05] 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] phaidros: I think the only think you could do would be write your own block device driver :( [23:05] 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] 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] 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] 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] Lazure:switch to the 32-bit version of Ubuntu. [23:06] how do i install gnome 3? [23:06] 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] 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] 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] i have gnome-shell installed as a DE [23:07] !reisub [23:07] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [23:07] phaidros: as far as I can tell all you can do with loop dev is offset, which I'm using [23:07] Datz, ^^^^ [23:07] mikubuntu: gnome3 is not ubuntu standard, thats why all the hints dindt work [23:07] mikubuntu: try #gnome [23:07] hi [23:07] hello [23:08] phaidros: !!!! http://code.google.com/p/pyraid/wiki/HOWTO [23:08] 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] be back [23:08] is there any way to reset just lightdm without killing the user's session? [23:08] hello [23:09] 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] Lazure, check the bots info on REISUB. sorry Datz [23:09] ok :) [23:09] I was wondering how that might help me :p [23:09] Is there a way to talk (i mean, by voice)? [23:09] Lazure: /etc/init.d/lightdm restart [23:09] something like that anyway [23:09] oh [23:09] wawowe > hmm, wonder if i can get a terminal to popup [23:09] in lightdm lol [23:10] without killing the users session [23:10] 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] mnogueira, Hello. What can we do for you? === tald is now known as tal [23:11] is there a way to install ubuntu as a fresh os on a laptop that does not load from usb ? [23:11] 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] Lazure: why would you want a terminal to popup in lightwm :P [23:11] mnogueira: try #fedora [23:11] Is there a way to start anaconda with 1024x768? [23:12] hy, i installed a new release of ubuntu 12.04 near the last 11.04 [23:12] wawowe > so i could execute commands like that =p [23:12] after restart i have a problem [23:12] but oh well, i did the REISUB thing and rebooted. have to start over on something i had open >< [23:12] Guest61618, burn an iso on cd [23:12] error: no such device [23:12] i guess i can no longer trust 'switch user' [23:12] grub rescue [23:12] it was working perfectly until recently. [23:12] dimitri, do you have more then one HD? [23:12] i also dont have a cd drive OerHeks [23:12] sorry, may i try another channel? [23:13] Fyodorovna, yes [23:13] i have 3 hd [23:13] mnogueira, Yes, please join #fedora [23:13] dimitri, It may be that the grub bootloader was put in the other HD try booting it first. [23:13] Thanks ratcheer [23:14] Fyodorovna, give me the way. i don't know how try it [23:14] OerHeks so no Cd drive and wont read usb as an iso/pendrive on start up is there another option / [23:14] 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] i have grub rescue > prompt [23:15] 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] dimitri, in the bios you can choose the hd you want booted first. [23:16] Guest61618 if it won't boot from usb, i don't know, sorry. [23:16] tehnef: thank you very much for precise answer ! [23:16] but before the installation all is right [23:16] I cant boot anything off it haha [23:16] thanks anyway OerHeks [23:16] Guest61618, are you awafre of the out of the bios boot from menu? [23:16] looks like im stuck with xp :( [23:16] s/awafre/aware [23:16] 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] sorry Fyodorovna? [23:17] Guest61618: Guest61618, are you aware of the out of the bios boot from menu? [23:17] Guest61618: your system might not automatically check USB removable media before the hard drive [23:17] you may need to tell it to boot from the USB device [23:17] 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] 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] 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] Guest61618, f12 may bring up that menu [23:18] Anyone else having freeze/lockup problems when playing nexuiz with an NVidia on 12.04? [23:18] ok, i guess i figured out where things hide on minimize [23:19] Guest61618, common problem that is whay I am telling you this it is another method used. [23:19] 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] 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] do I need to file a bug on launchpad for this problem? [23:19] s/whay/why [23:19] why are screensavers disabled in 12.04? [23:19] 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] en1gma, update-manager -d [23:20] from a terminal? [23:20] 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] 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] en1gma: uqx: No. You can't skip releases during upgrades except from one LTS to the next. [23:21] mikubuntu: cant help you there as I neither use lxde nor gnome3 [23:21] i try to write to /etc/apt/sources.list with a /bin/sh script via /etc/apt/sources < newby: as root or via sudo? [23:21] both [23:21] that sucks [23:21] 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] en1gma: do-release-upgrade [23:21] 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] ubuntu: bad sectors? definitely a hardware failure. [23:22] from a terminal? [23:22] 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] tehnef yep he was trying to give me bt :D [23:22] ok Fyodorovna thanks for ya help :) [23:22] en1gma: yes [23:22] en1gma: sudo do-release-upgrade maybe [23:22] phaidros, thx ... just can't understand why they would disable screensavers which i guess protect the screen [23:22] 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] am thinking im gettin a HDD caddy so can put bigger hdd in that an load to that instead :) [23:22] 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] Guest61618, no problem, it can seem confusing if your not aware of this other menu. :) [23:23] looks like its gonna do oneric still [23:23] 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] hwo do you unlock the fallback gnome classic? [23:23] er.. the menus...

[23:24] later gaters [23:24] phaidros / lazure / arand > great. I appreciate it! [23:25] :) [23:25] hm, I really like the ubuntu terminal font, smileys look great :D [23:26] I upgraded from oneiric to precise and now my e1000 card does not work with 3.2 kernel. Any pointers on how to fix?

[23:27] (In reference to omgubuntu) [23:28] newby: you might want to use cat [23:28] 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] Praxi > I recommend exploring komodo [23:29] newby: in line 7 try "cat /etc/apt/sources.list < praxi > it doesn't have a console (as far as I know), but it's pretty fancy with capabilities [23:30] 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] newby: otherwise bash tries to run /etc/apt/sources.list as command, which of course has no executable flag, hence permission denied [23:31] praxi > Komodo has a great feel (imo) and it's fast too. take a look see [23:31] will do, thank you aardmark [23:31] Praxi: you might want to ask in #rails [23:31] Anyone ever seen Ubuntu not specify what space is being used for? http://cl.ly/3a2p222j0p0s2z0O1O0c [23:32] k ty phaidros [23:32] 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?

[23:34] 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] tarwich: I dont underste [23:34] tarwich: I dont understand the question [23:34] thanks jrib / phaidros [23:34] 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] Well this is the installer that came with the Ubuntu distro… And it doesn't say what the slider is changing. [23:34] phaidros: The disks should have labels or something [23:35] tarwich: oha, thats bitchy indeed :) === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|znc [23:35] tarwich: probably the OSX skin with minimal information detail :D [23:35] hey guys im using ubuntu 12.04 how do i tell which version of opengl im using? [23:35] here is a question for you photo geeks opinions Xrite CMUNDIS ColorMunki Display or Datacolor Spyder4Express using argyll?

[23:37] countz: so you can see what's behind them [23:37] tarwich: tried the "advance partitioning tool" ? [23:37] 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] phaidros: That works perfectly, but I don't know "how to use it" [23:37] phaidros: if i run it with "cat /etc/apt/sources.list < graft: but they also don't go away when I mouse over, they remain there forever [23:37] Praxi: I come from the Mac where clicking on it brings the relevant app to the foreground [23:38] phaidros: It wants me to setup the swap + boot + root partitions all manually and I have no idea how. [23:38] 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] 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] bandit5432 and anonymous3141593, thanks, let me check. [23:39] woah ubuntu builder looks awesome, gonna try that out [23:39] tarwich: hm, indeed unexpected behaviour .. [23:39] MrCongress: Insane levels of diagnostics, great performance of tasks, and extremely versatile [23:39] Thanks that was great [23:39] 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] MrCongress: for bomb [23:39] MrCongress: forkbomb [23:40] tarwich: , implying what [23:40] i wrote a forkbomb in bash [23:40] anonymous3141593, its coming along nicely have been using it for a couple of months [23:40] can anyone help me with text installer, i cant go with encrypted partitions [23:40] I plan to learn every technical aspect of it [23:40] 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] MrCongress: That's quite the large undertaking [23:40] 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] 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] MrCongress: look for "aliens bash tutorial" for a start [23:41] I plan on building a search engine with ubuntu [23:41] If linux can sharpen my mind in the process, then great. [23:42] MrCongress: You'll have to learn a whole lot more than "Terminal" for that :) [23:42] 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] what does everyone use to stream mp3, on there local LAN? [23:42] walbert: saerch engine in bash seems possible.

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] Praxi: All right, thanks. Nothing has been able to get this logitech sphere to focus, not even guvcview [23:45] [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] 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] driconf fails.. [23:46] :// ? [23:46] that is cool just did that. thanks [23:47] Good evening, everyone. [23:47] What is the best way to manage user permissions for vsftpd [23:47] I have it using local users for logins [23:47] I want certain users to be able to access other folders in the home directory [23:48] Have no fear, Wolfram is here [23:48] I see no way to control this [23:48] ok [23:48] TH0MAS_: folders outside of their home directories? [23:48] yes [23:48] Mathematica > Ubuntu, says Wolfram [23:49] 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] how can I check which processes start at boot (via terminal?) [23:49] Who is considered the best problem solver on ubuntu? [23:49] Anyone know how to change the launcher to be at the bottom? [23:49] f0urtyfive: yeah! [23:49] right now they are not stuck int he home directory they can move around [23:49] MrCongress, he's name is kaned. [23:49] his [23:49] need to study him [23:49] but they cant get into some directories which I would like them to be able to === Tasmania is now known as John__K [23:50] 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] There would be no problems in a mathematica world [23:50] phaidros: you were almost right i jut had to redirect the output of cat to the file with "cat > /etc/apt/sources.list < !offtopic | MrCongress, WOLFRAM [23:50] MrCongress, WOLFRAM: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:50] just saying [23:50] f0urtyfive: *snicker* thats fonny :) [23:50] 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] sorry can i talk to u in pm about it Myrtti [23:50] phaidros: it probably would be funny if my raid 10 didnt fail :( [23:50] newby: I wrote just that as my last answer 1o minutes ago ;) [23:50] would it be better to use a different FTP server [23:51] f0urtyfive: I bear with ya [23:51] !rude | Myrtti [23:51] f0urtyfive: now backups, later redo the whole box ... I hate those days :) [23:51] phaidros: lol [23:51] PENISFACE [23:51] phaidros: currently the plan is to squeeze every bit I can off the failed disk :/ [23:52] THOMAS_: if you dont need ftp I would recommend sftp/scp jails with openssh. [23:52] phaidros: THEN backups [23:52] f0urtyfive: thats the category "backup" [23:52] ah~! [23:52] uh [23:52] bad :) [23:53] THOMAS_: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 [23:53] phaidros: thank you very much that worked [23:53] newby: great! [23:53] 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! [23:54] This the channel for some user support :) [23:54] driconf works for anybody? [23:54] [phaidros] isnt there any howto explaining the sequence? [23:54] javierf_: hm, what is so special about the logoff dialog? (/me is wondering, since I upgraded from early beta as well) [23:55] thomas, yes. [23:55] thomas: well perceived! [23:55] (apt-get install driconf) [23:55] 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 === jsec[AFK] is now known as jsec [23:56] 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] javierf_: thats indeed fancy [23:56] 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] javierf_: how is it triggered? [23:57] 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] phaidros, thanks man :) [23:58] phaidros, the blog says it's just activated in the new precise. But I don't have those changes in my desktop [23:58] 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] Do you have another channels for ubuntu development and special projects ? [23:59] [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] support for the LTSP and other development ? Or im in the right channel for this ?
