[00:00] <Praxi> aardmark, re:Komodo have you actually used that with Ruby and RVM?
[00:00] <mnogueira> Guys
[00:01] <Sancey> Alguém fala português para poder me auxiliar em uma dúvida?
[00:01] <phaidros> aardmark: mounted RW ?
[00:01] <aardmark> praxi - no, I haven't used it with ruby
[00:01] <mnogueira> Sorry but i couldnt find fedora channel
[00:01] <mnogueira> May someone help me, im getting trouble to install fedora 16.
[00:01] <Praxi> aardmark, komodo edit looks pretty and exactly what I want, but so far seems to be a bear to get to work with RVM & Ruby hehe
[00:01] <phaidros> simplew: I vaguely can remember, that first you create pertitions, choose encrypted partitions, then use those in the menu above the table
[00:02] <phaidros> iirc
[00:02] <wylde>  /msg alis list *fedora*
[00:02] <aardmark> phaidros -- maybe that's my problem! I can't create a folder on the drive. I'll remount as RW
[00:02] <phaidros> mnogueira: #fedora
[00:02] <mnogueira> how?
[00:02] <phaidros> mnogueira: /join #fedora
[00:02] <phaidros> aardmark: sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/ding
[00:02] <clarkm> The sound on flash is often choppy / distorted when running chrome. Everything seems to be fine in firefox - is this a known issue? I'm running 12.04 with chrome 20.0.1123.2 dev and flash 11.2 r31 plugin.
[00:03] <mnogueira> ok thanks
[00:03] <phaidros> Sancey: english is channel language, sry
[00:03] <Andril> anyone else getting Blue Man Group on Youtube videos?
[00:03] <Zopiac_> Andril: It's a problem with flash switching the RGB channels to BGR
[00:03] <phaidros> clarkm: the video in flash is often choppy / distorted when running chrome or firefox or any other browser :D
[00:03] <phaidros> clarkm: flash is an illness :/
[00:04] <dashavoo> Andril: I've been getting that for at least a couple of months
[00:04] <Sancey> phaidros, Yes, i'am not speak inglish
[00:04] <Sancey> english
[00:04] <phaidros> Sancey: trey #ubuntu-es
[00:04] <phaidros> Sancey: or #ubuntu-pr (not sure)
[00:04] <Sancey> thanks
[00:04] <Andril> real headache after a beautiful upgrade
[00:05] <derspankster> A minor thing but I have no splash screen during 12.04 boot. Booting with a SSD.
[00:05] <phaidros> Sancey: -pr doesnt exists, sry
[00:05] <clarkm> phaidros: haha, true - that's why I never full screen! But seriously, this time the sound from flash is actually unlistenable... as in, it isn't the normal sync choppiness.
[00:05] <phaidros> clarkm: I always do: curse loud and heavy, close tab, forget flash content
[00:06] <clarkm> It's a high-pithched distortion sound
[00:06] <phaidros> tho, funny phenomenon
[00:06] <osmosis> what version of python does 12.04 come with?
[00:06] <clarkm> It's weird cause firefox never has this problem
[00:06] <phaidros> osmosis: 2.7.3
[00:07] <taxman> i found a trap on 12.04
[00:07] <phaidros> derspankster: nothing to do with ssd, just install some ubuntu-splash or themel, cant remember wich was fore splashscreeens
[00:07] <phaidros> taxman: orly?
[00:08] <BlueJayWay> Be not afeard, indeed.
[00:08] <derspankster> phaidros: I sometimes see a splash when shutting down but never at boot.
[00:08] <jrib> taxman: a trap eh?
[00:08] <taxman> when you finish the install and change your only one user's permission to "normal" , the hell is raising
[00:08] <ichat> can anyone help me setting up xorg to  vga settings so i can than install the  nvidia drivers...  i cant login to the 'ctrl alt f4'  console,  and i cant boot into grafical mode on   xubuntu and ubuntu  desktops...  gforce 6  laptop...
[00:08] <phaidros> derspankster: reinstall splash package
[00:08] <taxman> hahaha, it's a bit funny
[00:09] <phaidros> taxman: there is still grub ;)
[00:09] <OerHeks> derspankster, me too, ssd boot too fast and go straight into login :-D
[00:09] <derspankster> phaidros: I'll check on that , yes ssd is very fast
[00:09] <phaidros> OerHeks: oh, true, now that you mention it, I only see my splash screen for the encryption phrase of the hdd .. hah! thats why :)
[00:09] <phaidros> derspankster: forget it, you wont see it
[00:10] <taxman> my fast pendrive is fast enough for my 12.04
[00:10] <phaidros> taxman: hm, depends on the IO ;)
[00:10] <ichat> can anyone help me setting up xorg to  vga settings so i can than install the  nvidia drivers...  i cant login to the 'ctrl alt f4'  console,  and i cant boot into grafical mode on   xubuntu and ubuntu  desktops...  gforce 6  laptop...
[00:10] <phaidros> ichat: your question is very confuse, repeating it might not help
[00:11] <derspankster> Well, I really didn't care about the splash - just thought I'd mention it - I thought it might be related to the SSD but have seen no docs to confirm it.
[00:11] <phaidros> derspankster: well, one other ooption: crypt your hd, then you'll see the splash for entering the passphrase :)
[00:12] <derspankster> phaidros:  Yes, my test box is booting from a mechanical drive and 12.04 on it shows splash.
[00:12] <phaidros> derspankster: btw, I think it is ubuntu-plymouth-theme-*
[00:13] <ichat> phaidros - my questing it really simple... i cant but into grafic mode (all white screen an than it stops..... but duing ubuntu it wont let me escape to the   cli promt either...  - than i tried to go into recovery mode and added   vga=771  to my  boot conf.... as per wiki discripting... but that is ignored also... in they end it leaves me with a complete useless new ubuntu install
[00:13] <compdoc> if I were to clone a drive running Ubuntu and copy it to a few systems, do I need to worry about duplicate uuid's or anything that might compromise the systems?
[00:13] <derspankster> phaidros: Thanks for the insight.
[00:14] <phaidros> ichat, where is your question?
[00:14] <ichat> how do i fix it
[00:14] <phaidros> ichat: choose failsafe mode from boot loader
[00:14] <taxman> the 12.04 may refuse to install. if you don't connect the network cable and let it communicate with the mothership
[00:15] <Onlyodin> XChat thinks it's fun to do a /who on every channel I join, and it's causing freenode to disconnect me. Any easy way to turn it off?
[00:15] <phaidros> compdoc: nope, not that I can think of
[00:15] <compdoc> thanks
[00:15] <ichat> phaidros - and than?
[00:15] <mkquist> hope this is on topic, but can gimp 2.8 be installed on natty?
[00:15] <phaidros> compdoc: other than hostname & ip (if set fixed), as mac adresses are hw depending
[00:16] <phaidros> mkquist: look for a ppa with gimp 2.8 and see if they have packages for natty, if not, upgrade :)
[00:16] <ichat> with 10.4 it was easy i just had to remove xorg.conf   now it doesn't even exist
[00:16] <graft> is there a gimp 2.8? more importantly, does it have single-window mode?
[00:16] <mkquist> graft: yes
[00:16] <mkquist> graft: apparently so
[00:16] <iceroot> is there a way to block ip-adresses on all ports WITHOUT iptables?
[00:16] <graft> mkquist: no kidding
[00:16] <doki_pen> who do i get this? http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/graphics/nip2
[00:16] <doki_pen> how do i get it
[00:17] <phaidros> ichat: I am not sure what the exact problem might be, but uninstalling graphics driver might help for a start, it seems you driver is pivking a resoltion to high for your screen (hence the white screen)
[00:17] <mkquist> graft: its out, just not sure on what it can be installed  =(
[00:17] <iceroot> doki_pen: sudo apt-get install nip2
[00:17] <phaidros> iceroot: hm, try reading about hosts.allow and hosts.deny
[00:18] <iceroot> phaidros: thanks for the hint, i will do some research
[00:18] <doki_pen> iceroot: says it doesn't exist
[00:18] <ichat> phaidros - its a fresh install i din't install any driver yet
[00:18] <phaidros> doki_pen: apt-get update
[00:18] <doki_pen> E: Unable to locate package nips
[00:18] <iceroot> !info nip2
[00:18] <doki_pen> iceroot: thanks
[00:18] <iceroot> doki_pen: nip2 not nips
[00:18] <phaidros> ichat: sry, I am out of ideas
[00:18] <BrokenCog> hello, I just started an update, but the laptop lid was closed suspending the computer.  I can re-boot and get a command line, but the video driver must be corrupt.  What is the command line to manually re-start the upgrade???  any help to avoid a reinstall would be great.
[00:19] <ichat> there used to be a ncruses guy to manually change xorg settings?
[00:19] <doki_pen> iceroot: no dice. i don't get it
[00:19] <kesav> Any one knows how to fix the ubuntu 12.04 USB audio
[00:19] <iceroot> doki_pen: if it still not come up check if the universe repo is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:19] <iceroot> doki_pen: and then run sudo apt-get update first
[00:19] <phaidros> BrokenCog: update or dist upgrade?
[00:19] <iceroot> doki_pen: and you are on 12.04?
[00:19] <kesav> I just bought bose companion 5 and connected to my ubuntu 12.04
[00:19] <kesav> I can't get it work.  No audio at all..
[00:20] <phaidros> kesav: please check #alsa
[00:20] <Djeff-o> Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and I can't format a usb stick to ext2, ext3 or ext4 using gparted. When I do, a red icon with an exclamation mark appears. When I unplugg it and re-insert it again i get the error message: "Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so"
[00:20] <doki_pen> iceroot: no, 11.10, but I just switched the webpage and it says it's available. I think this is a case of rackspace messing with me
[00:20] <BrokenCog> phaidros, dist upgrade yes, via the software center thingy ... sorry not uber on Ubuntu myself, it's my wifes laptop.
[00:20] <doki_pen> iceroot: looks like they have their own apt mirrors
[00:20] <BrokenCog> *wife's
[00:20] <phaidros> kesav: and tailf /var/log/messages when plugging in the card and look if it is detected and what system does.
[00:20] <iceroot> !info nip2 oneiric
[00:20] <Zopiac_> Praxi: I can't even get zoneminder to bloody install T~T
[00:20] <iceroot> doki_pen: also universe, just enable universe
[00:20] <phaidros> kesav: for special hardware #alsa is the place
[00:20] <iceroot> !universe | doki_pen
[00:21] <doki_pen> iceroot: i have universe
[00:21] <iceroot> doki_pen: sudo apt-get update
[00:21] <doki_pen> https://gist.github.com/2590644
[00:21] <Jordan_U> Djeff-o: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[00:21] <Praxi> Zopiac_, I installed it from source on a fresh server, the package in the repositories wasn't very useful
[00:21] <ichat> whoooot
[00:21] <phaidros> BrokenCog: on temrinal do "sudo apt-get install -f" and afterwards "sudo do-release-update" if that doesn help "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" depending on the state of the update one might work
[00:21] <doki_pen> iceroot: i've done that, I haven't edited sources.list
[00:22] <iceroot> doki_pen: i dont know what mirror.rackspace.com is, try to use the real repos
[00:22] <ichat> phaidros - i may have fixed it
[00:22] <phaidros> ichat: great :)
[00:22] <ichat> i removed lightdm  forcing it to go to non grafical mode......
[00:22] <iceroot> !text | ichat
[00:22] <phaidros> ichat: well, not a solution, but a login screnn tho :)
[00:23] <doki_pen> iceroot: right.. that is what rackspace has on their default ubuntu image.  I Just realized that..
[00:23] <BrokenCog> phaidros thanks, I'll try it now.
[00:25] <BrokenCog> phaidros so it returned that bpkg --configure -r was needed ... looks like it's getting back on track.  thanks for the tip.  I need to learn this apt-get system ... Slackware has something a bit different.
[00:25] <phaidros> BrokenCog: apt-get is nice, aptitude even more handy sometimes .. and *very* convenient compared to slack ;)
[00:26] <Djeff-o> Jordan_U,  http://pastebin.com/PzZnQEJP
[00:26] <taxman> aptitude is obsolete on 12.04. i have tested it
[00:27] <iceroot> taxman: aptitude is still the better tool from both
[00:27] <taxman> there is no gnome classic on 12.04 either
[00:27] <phaidros> BrokenCog: what actually happend, is that apt realized that the underlying tool (dpkg) wasnt finished in some state and told ya the right command to let dpkg finish its current job. afterwards run that apt command again, as not all dpkg jobs might have been queeued yet
[00:27] <xangua> !nounity | taxman
[00:27] <phaidros> taxman: well, really? my aptitude works as always
[00:27] <BrokenCog> phaidros roger.
[00:27] <jagginess> !selinux
[00:27] <xangua> taxman: that it's not preinstalled doesn't mean obsoloete
[00:28] <iceroot> taxman: there are some tools which are better then the default but they are not installed by default (gimp, vim, zsh, aptitude)
[00:28] <iceroot> taxman: mostly because of disc-space by the iso
[00:28] <phaidros> ichat: I dont agree on vim and zsh!
[00:29] <phaidros> iceroot: ^^
[00:29] <iceroot> phaidros: vim is better then vi of course
[00:29] <phaidros> vim is a sickness ...
[00:29]  * phaidros runs ducks and covers enjoying the flames
[00:29] <iceroot> phaidros: compared to vi
[00:29] <phaidros> boring!
[00:29] <iceroot> phaidros: no its a silly try for a flamewar so nithing will happen
[00:29] <phaidros> anyone say "eeeemaaaacs"
[00:29] <taxman> unity is not a bad idea on 12.04. it takes only about 500mb of ram
[00:29] <iceroot> phaidros: stop it please
[00:30] <phaidros> who needs zsh anyways ;)
[00:30] <Myrtti> !offtopic | phaidros
[00:30] <taxman> on 11.04, my gnome takes about 1gb of ram
[00:30] <iceroot> phaidros: people which like a good interactive shell
[00:30] <phaidros> Myrtti: I was helping for ~2 hours and do a joke, before saying good bye, stop parenting me ;)
[00:30] <iceroot> phaidros: with a very powerfull globing
[00:31] <phaidros> iceroot: yes, you are right, sure.
[00:31] <phaidros> bad trolling is bad and I wish everyone a good night ;)
[00:31] <phaidros> (shame on me)
[00:31] <Myrtti> phaidros: if you've helped for two hours, you should know better then ;-)
[00:32] <Myrtti> phaidros: good night
[00:32] <phaidros> Myrtti: dont let me troll you, don't you dare!!
[00:32] <phaidros> n8
[00:32] <Tecan> can someone help me?
[00:33] <Tecan> with peergaurdian
[00:33] <tychus> what is it
[00:33] <Tecan> a program to help privacy
[00:33] <taxman> from china?
[00:33] <Tecan> no
[00:33] <taxman> hahaha
[00:33] <Tecan> lmao
[00:33] <Tecan> isps so i dont get fucked up the ass

[00:34] <jack_^> !caps
[00:34] <Tecan> sorry ubottu
[00:34] <aardmark> for anyone out there that has encountered this issue: I've been having a tough time figuring out how to transfer ~100GB of data from my Mac to my Ubuntu box, and coming across several lame issues. Best resolution: direct ethernet link between the Mac and the Ubuntu box, and I'm able to transfer roughly 1GB per minute
[00:35] <aardmark> could probably go even faster if I wasn't using SCP, but hey - this is much less painful than shuttling a thumbdrive
[00:35] <taxman> mac has thunderbolt
[00:35] <tarwich> aardmark: Why didn't you boot into Target Disk Mode and read from that? Was it slower? (might have been, not sure)
[00:36] <aardmark> using target disk mode over ethernet with ubuntu
[00:36] <aardmark> ?
[00:36] <aardmark> taxman: my mac doesn't have thunderbolt
[00:37] <taxman> O.o
[00:37] <tarwich> Negative. Mac has a mode called target disk mode where the mac functions as a glorified USB stick — allowing you to copy to and from it by plugging it into a usb or firewire port.
[00:37] <tarwich> aardmark: Sorry, I should have used your name! :-|
[00:38] <aardmark> tarwich: oo mount the drive over USB in target mode... that'd have been interesting - I thought it only worked over firewire
[00:38] <aardmark> tarwich: I'll have to try that
[00:38] <tarwich> aardmark: checking...
[00:38] <ztag100> tarwich, Is there a way to do that with ubuntu?
[00:38] <aardmark> tarwich: that'd have probably been faster because SCP does the encryption with the transfer
[00:39] <tarwich> ztag100: negative. It's a mac bios thing.
[00:39] <taxman> mac has no bios
[00:39] <tarwich> taxman:  LOL… Let's not get into wars over technicalities on something off-topic.
[00:39] <ztag100> It would be cool
[00:40] <tarwich> aardmark: TDM does not work with USB http://osxdaily.com/2010/04/07/how-to-boot-a-mac-in-target-disk-mode/
[00:40] <aardmark> taxman: btw - Mac is built off of Unix, which has BIOS.
[00:41] <aardmark> tarwich: ahh - ok... woulda been cool tho
[00:41] <aardmark> well.. I guess as of 2010 (when the article was posted)
[00:41] <ztag100> Isn't BIOS seperate from OS?
[00:42] <taxman> !@#$#$%^&&*
[00:43] <tarwich> BIOS is the basic input output system that is used to coordinate between your things like a keyboard and the operating system. All computers have a BIOS, but some people think of BIOS is the user-friendly screens that come up on a PC
[00:45] <ztag100> tarwich: isn't BIOS something on the motherboard, not something reliant on the Os?

[00:46] <Alex_Kee> hi
[00:46] <Jordan_U> ztag100: tarwich: aardmark: and anyone else: Please move the discussion about semantics and Apple hardware / Firmware to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[00:46] <Alex_Kee> advise please eq for all system
[00:46] <Alex_Kee> ubuntu 12.04
[00:48] <hellllppppmeeee> How do I make my system's performance as apart of my ubuntu desktop background?
[00:48] <tarwich> hellllppppmeeee: I use conky for that. You can install it from the software manage or apt-get
[00:49] <ztag100> Do alot of people use Software Center
[00:49] <Zarathust> I'm trying to upgrade from lucid to latest (12.04). However sudo do-release-upgrade says "No new release found"
[00:49] <hellllppppmeeee> tarwich: brilliant, thank you
[00:49] <Zarathust> lsb_release -a does tell me that I run 10.04
[00:49] <SyphirX> okay
[00:49] <SyphirX> so i have a major problem
[00:50] <Zarathust> what should i look for?
[00:50] <taxman> i can see load and temperature and change cpu government on the fly, on unity of 12.04
[00:50] <SyphirX> During the LiveCD test, i had two of my three monitors working
[00:50] <SyphirX> now that I have it installed, its only detecting one
[00:50] <SyphirX> Anyone have any clue on how to fix this?
[00:50] <taxman> my unity almost works as well as old gnome classic
[00:51] <Alex_Kee> Guys are there any full bass and EQ support for asus xonar DS ?
[00:51] <Alex_Kee> sound is so ulgy :(
[00:51] <taxman> asus sonar? no, thanks
[00:51] <Alex_Kee> what no thanks?
[00:52] <Alex_Kee> I`m asking about support and advise for system equlizer support
[00:52] <taxman> can you control asus sonar by alsa and pulseaudio?
[00:52] <Alex_Kee> trying to control by alsa
[00:52] <taxman> hardware eq or software eq?
[00:53] <taxman> media players have software eq already
[00:53] <Alex_Kee> well if its available to control sowtware FOR ALL SYSTEM not for one software it could be useful
[00:53] <taxman> it's hardware eq
[00:53] <Alex_Kee> oh
[00:53] <Alex_Kee> ok
[00:53] <Alex_Kee> so?
[00:54] <taxman> you need the driver from asus
[00:54] <Alex_Kee> hahah ))) thanks i think that its not exist

[00:56] <ozpy> I was running ubuntu 11.04 usb drive on Mac. Now it's froze. how to shut it off? On/off switch does not work and can't pull the battery out
[00:57] <ulkesh> ozpy, have you held down the on/off switch?
[00:57] <SyphirX> Anyone have any ideas as to why dual-monitors would work during LiveCD but not even detect the second once installed?
[00:57] <ozpy> ulkesh: thanks! It worked. My mistake.
[00:57] <tarwich> ozpy: I have yet to see a computer that ulkesh's solution doesn't work on. Even mac. It is supposed to take about 10 seconds of holding the button down.
[00:57] <tarwich> cool
[00:57] <ozpy> tarwich: i didn't hold it long enough
[00:57] <ozpy> It's fixed. Thanks
[00:57] <ulkesh> np, glad to help!
[00:58] <ulkesh> good luck
[00:58] <cannonball> I'm downloading and compiling a portion of the exim tarball (the test suite utilities).  On my 11.04 box with openssl 0.9.8 it compiles just fine.  On my 12.04 box with openssl 1.0.1, it fails to compile, complaining about various SSL_* functions when compiling.  Anybody else see openssl issues on the upgrade from 11.* to 12.04?
[01:00] <SyphirX> Can anyone help? Any ideas would work wonders right now.
[01:00] <tarwich> SyphirX: Well I have an idea, but it's not great. Perhaps during the install you downloaded updated drivers that no longer support the feature.
[01:01] <SyphirX> I did the standard install but once it restarted, the second monitor just wasnt being detected
[01:02] <SyphirX> its even saying my computer is a laptop in the display settings
[01:02] <tarwich> SyphirX:  And it's not?
[01:02] <SyphirX> its a desktop computer
[01:02] <SyphirX> Albeit custom built
[01:03] <tarwich> SyphirX: Still… It shouldn't say that… Sorry, man. There has to be a way to fix your hardware mappings, but I don't know Ubuntu well enough. I only answered because I felt bad for you.
[01:04] <walbert> SyphirX: My desktop shows the same thing, with nvidia's binary drivers - but it works fine
[01:04] <Jordan_U> SyphirX: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[01:04] <drPoO> is it possible to make custom collections of wallpapers to cycle through in the day?
[01:05] <lotus-blade> ho do you fix /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses in 12.04
[01:05] <Jordan_U> SyphirX: And possibly boot from the LiveCD again and post the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from there?
[01:05] <Jordan_U> lotus-blade: What command gives you that error?
[01:05] <SyphirX> How do I open bash? Unity is being a bitch.
[01:05] <walbert> lotus-blade:  try sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
[01:05] <Jordan_U> !language | SyphirX
[01:05] <citizenkeys> i installed proftpd using apt-get install proftpd.  when i did, i chose the wrong mode (inetd) instead of standalone mode.
[01:06] <Jordan_U> SyphirX: Search for "gnome-terminal".
[01:06] <SyphirX> My apologies. Crappy day compounded with this.
[01:06] <citizenkeys> so i removed proftpd.  but now when i try to reinstall it with apt-get install proftpd, it doesn't ask me which mode to use.
[01:07] <wylde> citizenkeys: use apt-get purge , so it will remove configurations before you re-install
[01:07] <SyphirX> I cant even SU
[01:07] <SyphirX> permission denied
[01:07] <wylde> sudo -i
[01:08] <SyphirX> permission denied for /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:08] <tucemiux_mob> anyone knows of an "official" fix to the dreaded waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration...
[01:08] <walbert> SyphirX: What brand of Linux are you accustomed to using?  Debian derivatives, expecially Ubuntu, have a tendency to do things differently - perhaps there's a guide that could help you.
[01:08] <SyphirX> Debian but it
[01:08] <SyphirX> 's been forever
[01:09] <IdleOne> SyphirX: use sudo -i for extended admin privs but please be careful
[01:09] <walbert> SyphirX: try gksudo gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the Terminal (bash).  To get to bash, hit your meta key, and start typing "terminal"
[01:09] <Xeneth> tucemiux_mob, The main reason I think for the extra time is because it's a script in the gnome/unity that is doing it, so that must first load.  If you enter the configurations in the network file, that may speed things up.
[01:10] <wylde> SyphirX: or if you're in a gui you can just ctrl+alt+t to open the terminal.
[01:10] <tucemiux_mob> Xeneth, you mean if I configure dhchp manually?
[01:10] <walbert> wylde: pow, you just made a couple hours of idling in this channel completely worth it :)
[01:11] <wylde> walbert: :)
[01:11] <Djeff-o> Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and I can't format a usb stick to ext2, ext3 or ext4 using gparted. When I do, a red icon with an exclamation mark appears. When I unplugg it and re-insert it again i get the error message: "Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so"
[01:11] <Djeff-o> demesg output  http://pastebin.com/PzZnQEJP
[01:11] <Xeneth> tucemiux_mob, correct.  I have never done it on a system with a GUI, so there may be some side-effects, but worth a try.
[01:11] <wylde> Djeff-o: typically usb thumb/pen drives are foramtted fat
[01:11] <connelly> hey all, I'm pretty sure that a problem I'm having is bug #969535 and it looks like they have a fix for it in -proposed - how do I download that fix?
[01:12] <SyphirX> You know what? I give up. I can't do it. I thought I'd give Linux a shot again but if I have to go through this again (Dealt with the same thing on OpenSUSE/Ubuntu/etc on my laptop years ago) it's not worth it. Not until Steam comes out.
[01:12] <SyphirX> Sorry to waste your time.
[01:12] <Djeff-o> wylde, yes, and i can format it in fat 32, but not in ext2
[01:12] <SyphirX> Reinstalling Windows, have fun. I appreciate the help but... I can't. Not today.
[01:13] <Guest7047> ..
[01:13] <cookiemon5ter> SyphirX, good luck
[01:13] <wylde> Djeff-o: ext2 is not the same as fat. Just curious why you want to format it as extX anyway.
[01:13] <ulkesh> Poor sap, was about to suggest to him he run Ubuntu on a VM on Windows like I do :)  I get the benefits of Ubuntu, full acceleration, and can still game when I want
[01:13]  * leonel Ola pessoal ... alguem ai?
[01:14] <IdleOne> !br | leonel
[01:14] <leonel> Thanks so much friend !
[01:14] <tucemiux_mob> Xeneth, my config is pointing to eth0, i'm using eth1 and disabled inboard nic, lets see if it worked, rebooting now
[01:15] <tucemiux_mob> ulkesh, you game in ubuntu or winblows?
[01:15] <Djeff-o> wylde, lol, i guess i could have it in fat32, but i want to know why i cant format it to ext2...
[01:15] <cookiemon5ter> tucemiux_mob, he games in linux and uses windows for cmd
[01:16] <ulkesh> tucemiux_mob, I game in Windows...I'd like to run Ubuntu natively, but a VM seems to work almost as well.
[01:16] <ulkesh> lol cookiemon5ter
[01:16] <tucemiux_mob> ulkesh, woohohooooooooooooooo
[01:16] <wylde> Djeff-o: I don't know the specifics offhand. Just that FAT is universally accessible by most if not all OS's.
[01:16] <tucemiux_mob> cookiemon5ter,  but can you use the acceleration on ubuntu on a vm?
[01:17] <ulkesh> I have nice wobbly windows, but I haven't tried gaming in Ubuntu as a VM.
[01:17] <cookiemon5ter> tucemiux_mob, not sure i've only used linux for the last 11 years
[01:18] <cookiemon5ter> windows broke on me in 2001 and never looked back
[01:18] <ulkesh> I'm eager to see what Valve does with Steam on Ubuntu.  I hope it brings more development to this side.
[01:19] <cookiemon5ter> never been into gaming so i had it easy i suppose
[01:19] <tucemiux_mob> ulkesh, only reason i ever boot to windows is to synchronize my phone but it looks like pretty soon that's going to be the end of it, im going to upgrade my phone
[01:19] <IdleOne> !ot
[01:20] <tucemiux_mob> gaming is actually FASTER in ubuntu, the main game i play is UrT, ubuntu uses my weak card a lot better than windows,  but with every upgrade I have to tweak something, right now my drivers are broken
[01:20] <Ben64> tucemiux_mob: UrT?
[01:21] <ulkesh> Probably Unreal Tournament
[01:21] <tucemiux_mob> Urban Terror, it works on ubuntu
[01:21] <ulkesh> nvm
[01:21] <Djeff-o> wylde, thank you for your time... I just thought if i only use this particular usb stick on ubuntu it should be better to have it formated to extX.
[01:21] <Ben64> Unreal Tournament = UT
[01:21] <tucemiux_mob> urban terror is open source and free
[01:22] <josten> I just upgraded from 11.10 to 12.4.  I'm having problems with the dash.  In the previous version, once you opened and application, the dash would hide.  Now the dash stays in view.  If I change the settings for it to be hidden, it stay that way even on the desktop.  Any cures?
[01:22] <LinuxMonkey> anyone heard of a fix to the Unknown LVM metadata header errors yet?
[01:22] <mnogueira> Hey
[01:22] <mnogueira> sorry again, but there is no one in fedora channel
[01:22] <tucemiux> ok ive got my rig upgraded, nic working good, how do you change the theme? I can't see items in the taskbars
[01:23] <mnogueira> Please guys, may you help me with my not much hard problem
[01:23] <OerHeks> mnogueira, not an ubuntu problem., is it?
[01:23] <mnogueira> no
[01:23] <ejv> there's like 400 people in #fedora, lies
[01:23] <tucemiux> !ask | mnogueira
[01:23] <mnogueira> Problem installing fedora 16
[01:23] <tucemiux> fedo who?
[01:23] <mnogueira> The graphical installer specifically
[01:23] <cookiemon5ter> mnogueira, ##linux is a good channel
[01:23] <tucemiux> !ot | cookiemon5ter
[01:23] <Ben64> mnogueira: that is not within the scope of this channel. If you want to install ubuntu we could help you out
[01:24] <mnogueira> Ok ok, but can i first tell you guys, my problem?
[01:24] <ejv> tucemiux is supreme commander of the triggers ha
[01:24] <tensorpudding> i'm pretty sure there are people in #fedora
[01:24] <tucemiux> :-)
[01:24] <mnogueira> and if you could not help me.. then i go away
[01:24] <IdleOne> mnogueira: don't waste your time, ask in #fedora or ##linux
[01:24] <tensorpudding> maybe no one is talking though
[01:24] <bazhang> mnogueira, fedora is not supported here
[01:24] <ejv> im curoius now, let him ask :D
[01:24] <tucemiux> sorry monsta, im trigger happy
[01:24] <mnogueira> k...
[01:24] <ejv> s/curoius/curious/g
[01:24] <Ben64> ejv: you could go join #fedora :P
[01:25] <ejv> i'm in there already
[01:25] <ejv> ha
[01:25] <IdleOne> ejv: you can join either of those channels to help him there
[01:25] <ejv> nice find on urban terror, thx tucemiux
[01:26] <tucemiux> ejv, youre welcome, look for me on the weekends and i'll camp you till you cry!
[01:26] <ejv> tucemiux: what's the more recent, better looking FPS that runs on Ubuntu?
[01:26] <tucemiux> zombie survivor mode
[01:26] <dors> hello, i'm trying to get HUD to work in this ubuntu 12.04 but the ppa seems offline, i get a 404 for  http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-team/hud/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources and the other urls related to HUD, any ideas? thanks
[01:27] <tucemiux> ejv, try the software center, it's incredibly revamped, has a huge inventory, havent had a chance to check it out yet
[01:27] <ejv> join offtopic tucemiux
[01:27] <ejv> before i get spanked, they are... retentive here :D
[01:27] <tucemiux> is it possible to install theme on ubuntu and have them appear on the themes menu??
[01:28] <tucemiux> ejv, thats ok, i do the spanking around here
[01:28] <IdleOne> I'm gonna mute you both very soon
[01:28] <ejv> i can't pick your brain on open source fps'es here, join offtopic !
[01:29] <tucemiux> ejv, sorry but im more into ubuntu, what works on ubuntu and the like
[01:29] <josten> I have had a lot of questions answered on here.  What is going on now?
[01:29] <tucemiux> how do you search the software center?
[01:30] <LinuxMonkey> josten still answering questions and asking some too
[01:30] <ejv> yea i get that, i wanted your opinion on the other fps's that happen to run on ubuntu, if you have experience in that realm that is; if you change your mind: -> #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:30] <josten> LinuxMonkey: Sorry.  Thanks.
[01:31] <LinuxMonkey> tucemiux:  search bar in the top right hand corner (white rectangle with a magnefying glass)
[01:32] <tucemiux> LinuxMonkey, thanks, i had to maximize the screen to see it
[01:32] <josten> Didn't know if I was connected or not.  Sorry.
[01:32] <tucemiux> thats a big flaw, if you make the software center smaller, you dont have a horizontal bar
[01:33] <josten> LinuxMonkey: be back in a few
[01:33] <wylde> tucemiux: in the software center?
[01:33] <tucemiux> anyone knows if it's possible to install themes in ubuntu?
[01:34] <ulkesh> The software center seems to have a min res, around 640x480 or so...everything repositions well for me...at least in 12.04.
[01:34] <tucemiux> wylde, yeah i made the window smaller and couldnt see the search square, i didnt have a horizontal bar
[01:34] <wylde> tucemiux: the only somewhat stable way I've found so far is using ubuntu-tweak
[01:34] <tucemiux> what's ubuntu-tweak? what does that thing do?
[01:34] <monvillalon> IM looking for way to add a repo, but only use it for cherry picked packages…. I can't seem to google fu it
[01:34] <wylde> tucemiux: you could file a bug about it :)
[01:35] <tucemiux> Reconfiguring X.org video drivers is not possible: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is invalid.
[01:35] <wylde> tucemiux: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ their project is hosted in Launchpad as well.
[01:36] <tucemiux> wylde, ok but im wondering what does ubuntu tweak has?
[01:36] <chsados> can anyone help me... first time ubuntu user: installed ubuntu 12.04 onto my 2nd HDD on my computer (D:) have win7 installed on C:  i used the webui.exe to install ubuntu onto D: and when i restart i get the option to select windows or ubunty - i select ubuntu and it tells me im missing files or something.... i can get a screen shot if this isnt making any sense
[01:37] <wylde> tucemiux: it lets you use themes you can find in the repos.
[01:37] <monvillalon> chsados: I've nerves heard of webui.exe do you mean Wubi?
[01:38] <chsados> i assume so.. its the small file you download from the website that downloads ubuntu and installs it through windows
[01:38] <tucemiux> wylde, thanks im goign to look into it but for now im going to fix my video drivers
[01:38] <wylde> tucemiux: alrighty.
[01:38] <Jordan_U> chsados: I would recommend that you uninstall Wubi and install Ubuntu in a normal dual boot.
[01:39] <Mauhdeeb> Having a weird problem opening Windows share that wasn't present on 11.10. Keeps asking for the username and password but if I enter them it says "opening" and eventually falls back to asking again
[01:39] <chsados> im thinking the problem is im not installing it on the C drive
[01:39] <wylde> +1 on Jordan_U 's recommendation.
[01:39] <Mauhdeeb> Anyone seen this behavior?
[01:40] <chsados> i dont want to install it on C: bc i am going to format C and reinstall windows after i get ubuntu functional i want ubuntu on my D drive and windows on my C
[01:40] <conkyhelp> i just installed conky. im trying to use a some conky scripts (conkytransmission), but i dont see a .conkyrc file after install and reboot. does anyone know how to customize conky?
[01:41] <Jordan_U> chsados: First, remove Wubi using Add/Remove programs from Windows.
[01:41] <chsados> ok
[01:41] <chsados> i guess reformat D again?
[01:41] <wylde> conkyhelp: are you enabling show hidden files?
[01:41] <monvillalon> chsados: Wubi , creates a virtual disk , its not a "real" ubuntu installation as I understand it.  Its tied to Windows because it lives inside a Windows file, its a weird thing that I don't recoment
[01:41] <conkyhelp> wylde: ls -al, yes
[01:41] <chsados> ahhh i see monvillalon
[01:41] <monvillalon> chsados: Install from scratch
[01:42] <chsados> problem is i dont have cd/dvd drive on comp and my thumb drive is in a friends hand (gave her first 2 seasons of game of thrones :D)
[01:42] <wylde> conkyhelp: alrighty, just checking :)
[01:42] <chsados> so i currently have no way of installing it via iso
[01:42]  * taxman has a dozen of fast pendrives for ubuntu
[01:43] <monvillalon> chsados: As Jordan_U said , remove with windows installer, get a dvd, reboot computer with dvd inside, install.  Btw if you are not versed in the ways of the multi boot create a backup :)
[01:43] <Jordan_U> chsados: Do you absolutely need to install it now, or can you wait until you have a blank CD or a flash drive?
[01:43] <chsados> i can wait.... if i must
[01:44] <Jordan_U> chsados: Then I recommend you just wait.
[01:44] <chsados> i wont have any internet connectivity until my cat6 cable comes from ebay anyways... ubuntu doesnt like my netgear wireless dongle
[01:44] <monvillalon> chsados: I see no other way, there is a network install but its not worth the trouble
[01:44] <ulkesh> chsados, I would suggest VirtualBox as an option as well, depending on what you're trying to do (if you're just trying out Ubuntu, it can be a good way to go if you have enough RAM)
[01:44] <monvillalon> chsados: ulkesh idea is great if you just want to try it out
[01:45] <chsados> i just want ubuntu for secure browsing/usage CISPA got me all pissy
[01:45] <kion> I am trying to install postgresql on a remote server that I can ssh into, after sudo apt-get install postgresql, it says it is installed but it is not… any ideas?
[01:45] <monvillalon> chsados: As for the dongle, read a little about ndiswrapper ( maybe there is something newer )
[01:45] <Ben64> chsados: OS doesn't really matter for secure browsing. you should look into a VPN or something along those lines
[01:45] <chsados> yea ive read hours on end about it... its a dead end w my particular browser
[01:46] <Pelo> evening folks , I have  my brother with me , he's having issues with his acer aconia 100 tablet since he upgraded to andriod 4.0.3,  he uses it to stream media from his home pc over wifi and now the videos are getting shoppy has hell , it does the same on my network , can he downgrade back to 3 ?
[01:46] <chsados> i have VPN and all that jaz... just want to get away from MS and have ubuntu installation with a hidden trucrypt volume
[01:46] <chsados> trucrypt works w linux yes?
[01:46] <kion> Chsados it works perfectly under linux
[01:47] <chsados> cool
[01:47] <wylde> conkyhelp: http://conky.sourceforge.net/docs.html  did you check for .conkyrc in /etc/conky/.conkyrc  ?
[01:47] <Pelo> sorry , wrong channel

[01:47] <wylde> conkyhelp:  hmmm ok.

[01:48] <WickedWiccan> Where do i go to ask questions about ubuntu arm

[01:53] <ulkesh> ki4ro, nope, sorry
[01:54] <digitalj> damn i wish my name was rinzler
[01:54] <ki4ro> ulkesh: Okay.  Thanks.  73
[01:54] <wylde> conkyhelp: line 1 in the instructions. Do you have conky installed?
[01:54] <rinzler> digitalj: Got it first! :D
[01:54] <digitalj> Lucky.
[01:55] <rinzler> digitalj: also grabbed d-_-b
[01:55] <conkyhelp> wylde: obviously..., its installed, i can run it, but there is no .conkyrc so the install script will not allow me to customize it. i try to create an artificial / fake one, and no effect
[01:55] <digitalj> Well aren't you special
[01:55] <javierf_> Hi! Are changes in shutdown dialog or time menu (pictures: http://linuxconfig.net/media/featured/ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin-review.html) real in ubuntu 12.04? I installed every actualization from beta2 but don't get them. Do I need to trigger them?
[01:55] <digitalj> I bet you own internet.com or something with how things are turning out
[01:55] <usa> hey how do I get gnome 2 on ubuntu 12.04?? I hate unity I can't do anything with it there are no options..!
[01:56] <Fyodorovna> usa, gnome 2 is not in 12.04 there is a fallback gnome that looks somewhat and can be tweaked to be close to it. run sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and you will also get the gnome 3 desktop as a choice as well.
[01:56] <wylde> conkyhelp: alright, then I should assume you installed transmission-cli and edited the preferences there.... according to the instructions, install.sh should create the sample .conkyrc for you, so it isn't then?
[01:57] <thoong> can i change color scheme in ubuntu - say instead of orange highlight to blue highlight. blue seems to be choice for many os.
[01:57] <thoong> ?
[01:57] <conkyhelp> wylde: yes, exactly. this is the problem
[01:57] <GeoGeek> Hey all. I have a database publishing project I need to do. Want to use it as an opportunity to learn some new linux tools. I need a good database frontend  that can output data tagged for a page layout program. Any recommendations? I am looking at Kile to do layout but the data fields would need to be tagged on the way out of the database.
[01:57] <thoong> preferbably with gui.
[01:57] <kion> can anybody hel me install postgresql?
[01:59] <wylde> conkyhelp: then you should be seeking help from the author of that package.

[02:10] <thoong> night thanks for the help.
[02:10] <spybrook> Does anybody know why the youtube web page wont work with 12.04?
[02:11] <LinuxMonkey> spybrook: works fine for me
[02:11] <GeoGeek> spybrook: Youtube works fine for me.
[02:11] <spybrook> I can view hulu...
[02:11] <GeoGeek> clear your cache
[02:11] <LinuxMonkey> spybrook: did you install the restricted package?
[02:13] <wylde> arulmozhi: did you make an actual cd/dvd with aptoncd?
[02:13] <spybrook> I think I have the restricted package...will verify
[02:14] <arulmozhi> wylde: no I hav the iso image
[02:14] <arulmozhi> no cd or dvd
[02:14] <wylde> arulmozhi: at any rate mount the disk/disk image in the packages directory should be the debs you require to re-install.
[02:14] <wylde> arulmozhi: that's fine just mount the iso.
[02:15] <arulmozhi> image mounted. the??
[02:16] <wylde> packages directory on the iso.
[02:16] <arulmozhi> wylde: yeah it is there...
[02:16] <Guest135> hi room. anyone able to advise how i can check the usb speed/connection of an external hdd on a remote server using putty. i tried hdparm but it can only seem to access the internal hdd :/
[02:16] <Guest10566> quit
[02:17] <Datz> Hi, how do I get the workspace switcher to 4 horizontal windows in gnome-session-fallback?
[02:17] <wylde> arulmozhi: If you wanted to avoid manually installing you could write a script or get someone to help write one. Otherwise probably manually install.
[02:17] <wylde> arulmozhi: but at least you don't have to re-download everything :)
[02:18] <ki4ro> Any active amateur radio operators here?
[02:18] <arulmozhi> yes thats ok. but on script side wat it has to do???
[02:18] <nwp_> Can anybody help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/965988/
[02:19] <wylde> arulmozhi: I you may find help scripting in #bash, or maybe someone here can help. I'm barely proficient with basic bash scripts.

[02:19] <vectory__> Guest135: try lsusb -v
[02:19] <a7i3n> Hate to say it... but I actually like Unity... there I said it... I feel better now... :)
[02:20] <arulmozhi> wylde: thanx for the help...
[02:20] <LinuxMonkey> a7i3n: many of us do :)
[02:20] <nwp_> I installed Precise the other day, but I cannot use networking with the 3.2 kernel
[02:20] <wylde> arulmozhi: hmmm wait I had a thought, when you made the disk, did you tell it to make a meta package?
[02:20] <nwp_> I get the pastebinned message in dmesg
[02:20] <myersg> unity...love it, I had problems with light dm not picking up my background, I fixed it, thanks
[02:21] <iHarp> Question:   Why would opening a game. 1. Open Ubuntu Software center    2. Place me on the default screen without prompting me to download anything?
[02:21] <nwp_> So I rebooted into old 3.0 kernel and am using that at this point
[02:21] <wylde> arulmozhi: does one of the packages have aptoncd-metapackage in the name?
[02:21] <a7i3n> I'm an old geezer... I remember editing settings by hand on my first linux install on a bondi iMac...
[02:21] <nwp_> I just want networking to work with 3.2 kernel
[02:22] <LinuxMonkey> iHarp: did you use the search menu, it may have been a uninstalled game thus asking you to install it
[02:22] <SarahsButt> How does one update GRUB?
[02:22] <Fyodorovna> a7i3n, lol on fondness for unity, nice change from other comments.
[02:22] <a7i3n> I've despised Unity for a long time but I have to give credit: Canonical did a great job on 12.04
[02:22] <wylde> arulmozhi: if so open a terminal where the packages are and 'sudo dpkg -i aptoncd-metapackage*'
[02:23] <LinuxMonkey> SarahsButt: iin what sense do you want to update it?
[02:23] <Datz> is there a way to get gadgets onto the gnome-session-fallback bar?
[02:23] <a7i3n> <--- Windowmaker user for just about forever...
[02:23] <iHarp> LinuxMonkey: I just installed it lastnight. Didn't do anything but, "apt-get update". Came back today and now it wont open.   After reinstalling the bin file it now sends me to ubuntu software center
[02:23] <SarahsButt> LinuxMonkey: It's just old and needs an updating. I heard 2.8 just came out no?
[02:24] <Sky_test> chmod wat does it do
[02:25] <iHarp> changes permissions
[02:25] <iHarp> !chmod
[02:26] <Joen> I've been trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 all day. I'm not using a CD or USB stick (as I don't have any large enough unfortunately), so I mounted the downloaded .iso file with Daemon Tools. The setup said it could boot without a CD by configuring the boot or something. So when it was done, I rebooted and then I got this: "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
[02:26] <Joen> I have searched on google with other people with this problem, but none of the solutions work for me.
[02:26] <SarahsButt> Joen: where are you trying to boot linux from? are you using windows right now?
[02:26] <Joen> Yes
[02:27] <Joen> When I reboot now, the Windows boot manager shows Ubuntu and windows
[02:27] <iHarp> " I'm not using a CD or USB stick"   then what are you using?
[02:27] <Joen> But when I pick Ubuntu it goes through the logo screen and then shows that
[02:27] <vectory__> he used the cd, virtually
[02:27] <Joen> The setup from the iso image said it was able to edit the boot configuration so it booted from it from boot.
[02:28] <SarahsButt> Can't you just use Wubi?
[02:28] <yugnip> joen try plop http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html
[02:28] <LinuxMonkey> SarahsButt: nope grub2 is still on version 1.99
[02:28] <Guest135> thank you vectory__ :)
[02:28] <vectory__> Joen: the cd expects to still be there after reboot, where else would it all the files from needed for install (or did it copy a lot to disk)
[02:28] <ki4ro> Any active amateur radio operators here?
[02:29] <LinuxMonkey> SarahsButt:  you must be thinking of Gimp 2.8
[02:29] <Joen> So how exactly do I use this boot manager?
[02:29] <wylde> !mini | Joen
[02:29] <SarahsButt> LinuxMonkey: My mistakae it seems. Thanks for the clear up.
[02:30] <yugnip> joen plop instruction http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-from-usb-without-bios-support-via-plop-cd/
[02:30] <iHarp> LinuxMonkey: Any idea after what I posted up there? ^^
[02:30] <Joen> Thanks, I'll try plop and then see if I have any CDs or USBs that are small enough for the small image.
[02:31] <yugnip> i believe with plop you can also use a floppy?
[02:31] <Jordan_U> Joen: I would definitely go with the minimal install image rather than trying to mess with plop (in fact I'm not sure how plop is a solution at all).
[02:31] <LinuxMonkey> iharp thats very odd, ive never come across that
[02:31] <Joen> Ok.
[02:32] <blocky> what does it mean when booting the livecd says Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow
[02:32] <Jordan_U> Joen: Make sure to also remove Wubi through Add/Remove programs in Windows.
[02:32] <Joen> I don't have Wubi.
[02:32] <Jordan_U> Joen: "The setup said it could boot without a CD by configuring the boot or something." That's wubi.
[02:32] <iHarp> Anyone know why a freshly installed game would send me to ubuntu software center without prompting me to download anything?
[02:33] <Joen> But I didn't install anything. I just mounted the iso image.
[02:33] <iHarp> Game = Savage XR
[02:33] <wylde> Jordan_U: he was attempting to install from a mounted iso.
[02:33] <yugnip> Jordan_U: i must have misunderstood, i assumed the issue was unable to boot from usb
[02:33] <Jordan_U> yugnip: No, the issue is that his USB drive is not large enough for the normal Ubuntu image.
[02:34] <Joen> Actually, I am unable to find mine.
[02:34] <Joen> I can buy one tomorrow if it's necessary, but I'd just prefer to get it going to tonight without it if possible. So now I'm going to look for a CD.
[02:34] <Guest135> re my previous question anything i can run on putty to see what mode (pio, udma6 etc etc) an attached usb drive is in? id usually use hdparm for this but it's not liking working on an external hdd.
[02:34] <wylde> Joen: for the minimal you only need 30MB :)
[02:35] <Joen> Would an external hard drive work?
[02:35] <Joen> Through USB
[02:35] <Jordan_U> Joen: Yes.
[02:35] <blocky> how reliable is Install ubuntu alongside widows 7
[02:35] <blocky> I just clicked it thinking it would allow me to review the partitioning changes...
[02:36] <Jordan_U> Joen: It's easier to configure if the drive uses fat32. With an external drive that's large enough I would definitely go with the normal rather than minimal install image.
[02:36] <iHarp> blocky: I do it. I've had relatively no issues.
[02:36] <blocky> relatively no :P
[02:36] <Joen> Can the filesystem of the hard drive be messed up if I use it?
[02:37] <Jordan_U> Joen: Instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[02:37] <Joen> Thanks
[02:37] <wylde> blocky: I have no issues....but then I haven't used windows for almost a year now :)
[02:37] <Jordan_U> Joen: Not unless you select an explicit option to wipe the drive, which would be very difficult to do accidentily.
[02:37] <iHarp> blocky: Standard issues such as finding the right drivers and such, but that has notthing to do with windows
[02:37] <oscar76> hi! anybody knows  where to find instructions to  instal ubuntu on a tablet?
[02:37] <hailey> I'm unable to figure out what to do with this BCM4311 wireless NIC.
[02:38] <blocky> how does it choose which partition to shrink, or even which device
[02:38] <wylde> !broadcom | hailey
[02:38] <aaas> i cant ping my windows computers from ubuntu, after disabling the firewall on the windows machine and pinging by ip not hostname, windows machines see ubuntu machine fine
[02:38] <iHarp> blocky: Is it installed yet?
[02:38] <LinuxMonkey> Lol ive installed it alongside windows 7 2 weeks ago with no issues, today I formated the drive and installed ubuntu over the entire disk :)
[02:38] <wylde> LinuxMonkey: +1
[02:39] <blocky> says retrieving file 16 of 57
[02:39] <iHarp> Blocky open up disk utilities and take a look at what your hard drive looks like/
[02:39] <iHarp> gotcha
[02:39] <rinzler> does anyone know of a way to incite the distribution update from terminal? for the 11.10 update, my vps told me a command that would upgrade the distro automatically, but I don't know how to make it see the update. I only have ssh access...
[02:39] <blocky> I ran the installer, not the livecd
[02:39] <blocky> livecd gave me an error about /cow
[02:39] <wylde> rinzler: do-release-upgrade?
[02:39] <LinuxMonkey> wylde only issue I have is the complaint of Unknown LVM metadata headers but its just a bug
[02:39] <iHarp> I prefer the manual approach.
[02:40] <rinzler> wylde: command not found
[02:40] <wylde> LinuxMonkey: yeah, you reported it I hope? Or at least added extra info if you could? :)
[02:40] <iHarp> Setup windows with minimal resources. Add 6G of swap space for my 4G of ram. And the rest of my drive goes to ubuntu
[02:40] <blocky> can I import thunderbird emails from windows?
[02:41] <iHarp> edit* 100G  goes to my free FAT space
[02:41] <LinuxMonkey> wylde its allready reported on a major scale.lol
[02:41] <tohuw> When invoking ftp from the CLI, how can I get all files in a given folder?
[02:41] <oscar76> iHarp: 6G of swap !  wish I had 6G to spend !
[02:41] <wylde> LinuxMonkey: alrighty, just making sure :)
[02:41] <aaas> blocky do you have imap or pop?
[02:41] <hailey> I'm unable to figure out what to do with this BCM4311 wireless NIC with  3.2.0-24-generic  kernel.  Any advise?
[02:41] <hilikus> how can i change the permission on a drive that is automounted. it is in /media/foo and its owned by my user but i need to either change the owner or give go+r. just doing chmod or chown doesn't work for some reason
[02:42] <wylde> rinzler: you're upgradin TO 11.10 or FROM 11.10?
[02:42] <aaas> hilikus i think you need to change the options in /etc/fstab
[02:42] <hilikus> aaas: its not in fstab, its a removable drive that's automounted
[02:42] <rinzler> wylde: FROM. I was citing my upgrade TO in my original question.
[02:42] <blocky> aaas, pop but nvm that
[02:43] <blocky> I have Unable to install GRUB in /dev/mapper
[02:43] <shawn_> hi,do you guy use ubuntu 64bit or 32bit?
[02:43] <napalm54> Hey all, For QT Creator is it best to install through the Ubuntu software center or from debian package from the official website?
[02:43] <taxman> 64 bit
[02:43] <blocky> Executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed. This is a fatal error.
[02:43] <iHarp> oscar76: How much ram and hard drive space do you have
[02:43] <aaas> hilikus ok then you have to check the udev stuff...umm /etc/defaults/udev.... i cant remember where the file is
[02:43] <bandit5432> depends on the laptop its 32 on the desktop its 64
[02:43] <tohuw> !best | napalm54
[02:43] <k_sze> What's the best utility to simulate low bandwidth and/or high latency network connection on (X)ubuntu? I don't mind command line.
[02:43] <wylde> rinzler: ok thanks, just wanted to be clear is all :)
[02:43] <shawn_> is 64bit better for AMD64 CPU
[02:43] <taxman> but it's a fusion of 64- and 32- bit for 12.04
[02:44] <tohuw> napalm54: sorry, wrong factoid. Your answer is: it depends on what you are looking for.
[02:44] <taxman> look at mtrr, it's set up for 32-bit
[02:44] <shawn_> TO taxman  : thank you
[02:44] <bandit5432> my laptop only supports 32bit and i have 12.04 installed
[02:44] <aaas> blocky well the profile should be universal (I think) so if you point it to yoru profile it shoudl be able to read your mailbox
[02:44] <taxman> inside 4gb of space
[02:44] <k_sze> I want to simulate high latency between my LAN and my Xubuntu box.
[02:44] <taxman> 12.04 is not like a pathetic 64-bit linux
[02:44] <napalm54> tohuw: I guess I am wondering if there are any drawbacks to using the ubuntu software center vs .deb from the official website
[02:44] <blocky> aaas, thanks, I'll try that once I figure out why grub has failed
[02:44] <aaas> blocky is there an "import" feature in thunderbird
[02:44] <wanna> I just installed 12.4 and can't get my wireless connection working on my laptop. Got any sugestions?
[02:45] <agu10^> ubuntu is like worse than web OS !
[02:45] <OerHeks> taxman, it is, 64 bit is multi-arch
[02:45] <oscar76> iHarp: I only have 512M and 2G free disk.  I have to stop using Transmission ;)
[02:45] <rinzler> getting: "mosh : Depends: libprotobuf5 but it is not installable" how do I correct this?
[02:45] <blocky> why would it be installing grub to /dev/mapper, what is /dev/mapper?
[02:45] <taxman> iirc, it's debian's multi-lib like solution
[02:46] <blocky> it's asking me to choose a different device to install the bootloader on
[02:46] <taxman> OerHeks, i prefer to use a pure 64-bit linux, just my taste
[02:46] <oscar76> iHarp: I was just wandering if 6G for swap is a little too much
[02:46] <tohuw> napalm54: In general, using distribution-specific packages mean it has been compiled and tested on that distribution. It also often (but not always) means the package is not the latest release. Typically, you are trading bleeding-edge for tested compatibility. Examine the versions, check the project's official documentation and the distribution's provided documentation (if any), decide.
[02:46] <shawn_> taxman: I just can't make a decision  to migrate from 32bit to 64bit.....
[02:47] <taxman> shawn_, my 12.04 is 64-bit and i can watch youtube without issues
[02:47] <blocky> anybody know what device I should install grub to?
[02:48] <SarahsButt> blocky: sda1
[02:48] <shawn_> but what will happen when you install some package without 64bit build? xD
[02:48] <iHarp> oscar76: It's not too much.. there is actually a formula to it
[02:48] <oscar76> blocky: preferably your first hd, and never a removable disk i guess
[02:48] <OerHeks> shawn_, it will run on ubuntu multiarch
[02:48] <blocky> parted is saying /dev/sr0 unrecognized disk label
[02:48] <Datz> what's up with the dependency problems when I try and install php5 on 12.04 gnome-session-fallback?
[02:48] <Guest135> re my previous question anything i can run on putty to see what mode (pio, udma6 etc etc) an attached usb drive is in? id usually use hdparm for this but it's not liking working on an external hdd.
[02:49] <blocky> how can I get a list of options
[02:49] <iHarp> oscar76: for 2G you would want atleast 4G; For 3 you would want 5 and for 4 you  would want 6
[02:50] <Somnio> hi! anyone on the mood to answer a couple of questions about gnome-shell on Ubuntu?
[02:50] <Ycarene> is there a way to force a package to ignore dependency conflicts and make it install.
[02:50] <wylde> Ycarene: yes, but it's not recommended.
[02:50] <rebe> is it possible to change terminal font size to float number like 10.5 instead of whole 10 or 11 ?
[02:51] <Ycarene> I think it'd be fine for what I want at least.
[02:51] <shawn_> OerHeks, do you mean the 64bit ubuntu can run 32bit program?
[02:51] <iHarp> rebe: Never tried that..lol good question
[02:51] <OerHeks> shawn_, yes, since 11.10 ubuntu is supporting multi-arch
[02:52] <Datz> Could someone tell me what these dependency problems are about when trying to install php5: http://pastebin.com/eq8cpUq1
[02:52] <OerHeks> no need for ia32 libs
[02:52] <wanna> :-(
[02:52] <blocky> Anyone know what it means when the LiveCD dumps you to BusyBox shell?
[02:53] <Datz> OerHeks: that's not directed towards me?
[02:53] <shawn_> OerHeks, Thank you, btw. how to shift my 32 ubuntu to 64 ?  should I re-install the  whole system
[02:53] <oscar76> iHarp: really? good to know.   For me it stills sounds so much.  Maybe because my hd is only 80G :(
[02:53] <OerHeks> Datz, no, it was ment for shawn.
[02:53] <shellcode28> how u create another hard disk
[02:53] <Ycarene> wylde - how do I do it with apt-get, I can't get --nodeps to work.
[02:53] <OerHeks> shawn_, only reinstall possible.
[02:54] <oscar76> shellcode28: you mean another partition?
[02:54] <shellcode28> yea
[02:54] <wylde> Ycarene: moment, I don't know off the top of my head. I only did it once a very long time ago heh.
[02:54] <oscar76> shellcode28: when you are installing ubuntu or afterwards?
[02:54] <iHarp> oscar76: Yea, you are looking at about 1G
[02:55] <shellcode28> I have already ubuntu
[02:55] <awunui> Hi
[02:55] <shawn_> Thanks,OerHeks&taxman,  When you get notice that 'shawn_ has quit()'  It means I am reinstalling ubuntu xD
[02:55] <blackmatrix_ny> hi all...why does netstat not show process for apache running on port 80...It just displays - for it
[02:55] <shellcode28> I already have ubuntu*
[02:55] <SarahsButt> shellcode28: download Gparted
[02:55] <shellcode28> I have gparted lol
[02:55] <oscar76> shellcode28: you can use Partition Manager or Gparted, but be careful
[02:56] <SarahsButt> shellcode28: that's what you gotta use
[02:56] <iHarp> << uses Gparted
[02:56] <shellcode28> I have Gparted
[02:56] <taxman> i trust only fdisk for performance proof
[02:56] <taxman> fdisk can control each detail
[02:57] <oscar76> iHarp: do you know if is it a hd size limit for ubuntu?
[02:57] <OerHeks> shellcode28, be sure the partition is not mounted.
[02:57] <shellcode28> OK,how can u tell if is not mounted
[02:57] <shellcode28> ?
[02:57] <wylde> Ycarene: you may need to use 'apt-get download <packagename>' then force the installation with dpkg....still checking
[02:58] <shellcode28> so do i have unmount?
[02:58] <alFReD-NSH> Anyone got any explanation why screendump 7 doesn't work?
[02:58] <alFReD-NSH> alfred@ubuntu:~$ sudo screendump 7
[02:58] <wylde> If anyone else knows off the top of their head feel free btw! :)
[02:58] <alFReD-NSH> couldn't read /dev/vcs/a7
[02:58] <oscar76> shellcode28: use df on the shell
[02:58] <LinuxMonkey> !enter | alFReD-NSH
[02:58] <oscar76> shellcode28: or mount -l
[02:59] <iputued> hi
[02:59] <taxman> shellcode28, gnome disk utility can tell you
[02:59] <LinuxMonkey> hahaha taxman you beat me to it
[02:59] <taxman> ???
[02:59] <LinuxMonkey> about disk util
[02:59] <blackmatrix_ny> shitty netstat
[03:01] <alFReD-NSH> The tty that the x org is run on, is it 63?
[03:01] <blackmatrix_ny> why couldn't they just port the unix netstat to linux...just like google
[03:01] <LittleBallOfHate> alFReD-NSH: 7
[03:02] <alFReD-NSH> LittleBallOfHate: but it doesn't exist in /dev/tty7
[03:02] <wylde> Ycarene: once you have the package you can 'dpkg --force-depends -i <packagename>'
[03:02] <LittleBallOfHate> alFReD-NSH: what do you mean?
[03:03] <alFReD-NSH> w8 it does
[03:03] <alFReD-NSH> but it doesn't exist on /dev/vcs7
[03:04] <alFReD-NSH> There is vcs for 1 to 6, and also 63
[03:04] <JonEdney> Noob Question incoming!
[03:05] <JonEdney> Can I download WIN fonts and use them on Ubuntu?
[03:05] <oscar76> JonEdney: you can use ttf fonts
[03:05] <kion> can anybody explain me what are locales?
[03:06] <LittleBallOfHate> JonEdney: ttf-mscorefonts or something like that
[03:06] <Ycarene> wylde - Meh, I can't even install it as source, looks like pidgin is dead in ubuntu/ming.
[03:06] <Ycarene> ming==mint
[03:06] <alFReD-NSH>  JonEdney: install wine and ruin your whole font eco system!(sarcasm...)
[03:06] <vectory__> kion: i gather you mean localization
[03:06] <Xlaits> Anyone a wiz on jnlp files?
[03:06] <wylde> Ycarene:  it is? I haven't bothered with any messengers as of yet.
[03:06] <kion> Vectory: on my terminal there is something called locale
[03:07] <JonEdney> Oh Wine.  I forgot about that program.  Thank you/
[03:07] <Xlaits> I can't seen to open any...
[03:07] <iHarp> oscar76:  None that I know. Files can be up into the terabyte range. The Wikipedia limit for a volume is 16 Terabytes.
[03:07] <LittleBallOfHate> JonEdney: mscorefonts if you want things like Tahoma in X
[03:07] <vectory__> kion: a local is a localization setting, changing inpuit/output to a given languageset, i.e. keyboard layout
[03:07] <blackmatrix_ny> sudo apt-get remove netstat ...I cant even remove this shit
[03:07] <kion> Thankss
[03:08] <bobweaver> sudo apt-get --puge remove foobar
[03:08] <bobweaver> sudo apt-get --purge remove foobar
[03:08] <Xlaits> Hey, can anyone help me get my firefox to open jnlp files? It's really important...
[03:08] <oscar76> iHarp: tnx, I'll get me a bigger hd !
[03:08] <iHarp> go for it! :p
[03:09] <shawn_> kion, locale means something related to language, timezone...etc.
[03:09] <LittleBallOfHate> Xlaits: aren't those java related?
[03:09] <LittleBallOfHate> Xlaits: java webstart or something like that?
[03:09] <Xlaits> LittleBall ofHate: Yeah, exactly.
[03:09] <iHarp> xlaits: I shot my firefox.. Chome loves me more..lol
[03:10] <iHarp> Chrome*
[03:10] <LittleBallOfHate> Xlaits: openjdk kind of sucks, look up how to install oracle's java
[03:10] <LittleBallOfHate> Xlaits: might help
[03:10] <Xlaits> iHarp, is there even a Chrome for Ubuntu?
[03:10] <LinuxMonkey> Xlaits: did you try renaming them to .xml lol
[03:10] <iHarp> yup
[03:10] <Xlaits> LittleBallOfHate: I've tried doing it myself... and failed...
[03:10] <blackmatrix_ny> do the authors of linux netstat fred bumgarten and alan cocks ever show up here...I want to slap them with their stupid netstat tool
[03:10] <Xlaits> LinuxMonkey: Haha, I need them open in java...
[03:10] <iHarp> just go to google.com then look for the download chrome.. then download the deb file and it will put you through the ubuntu software center
[03:10] <Ben64> !language | blackmatrix_ny
[03:11] <Xlaits> iHarp: thanks, I'll try that.
[03:11] <iHarp> cool
[03:11] <L3top> Xlaits: a jnlp file is a web file that connects to a (java) jar file.
[03:11] <bobweaver> netstat is awesome and so is allen cox
[03:11] <LinuxMonkey> oh kk Xlaits
[03:11] <blocky> is it possible that on this motherboard, IDE devices are listed as SATA
[03:11] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, you must know little about networking then my friend
[03:11] <Xlaits> l3top: I know that already...
[03:12] <bobweaver> blocky:  yes there are bugs like that
[03:12] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, what kind of networking tool gives you the message 'Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
[03:12] <blackmatrix_ny>  will not be shown...'
[03:12] <L3top> Is this file on a server or local Xlaits?
[03:12] <bobweaver> blackmatrix_ny:  try    netstat -antp
[03:13] <oscar76> blocky: It happens to me too
[03:13] <Xlaits> L3top: Originally, Server. But I managed to download said file, because firefox is an arsehole.
[03:13] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, still cannot identify a simple application like apache running on port 80 'LISTEN      -        '
[03:13] <blocky> I think this installation is choking because of something to do with the hard drive configuration
[03:13] <shawn_> firefox is good
[03:14] <blocky> there are 3 SATA disks and 2 more on IDE
[03:14] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: try lsof -i4
[03:14] <bobweaver> umm blackmatrix_ny  are you sure apache is running ?
[03:15] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, you are asking me if I the pc is plugged in or not...cmon man
[03:15] <L3top> Xlaits: so presumably the server works correctly, it is just firefox having a problem?
[03:15] <blocky> When the livecd boots, I get [sdg] attached SCSI removable disk
[03:15] <Xlaits> L3top: That is correct.
[03:15] <L3top> Xlaits: and do you have oracles jre or the openjre installed?
[03:15] <blocky> then it drops to a shell and says Mount a filesystem
[03:15] <blocky> Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow
[03:16] <Xlaits> L3top: Whatever Pangolion installed. (Meaning OpenJRE)
[03:16] <L3top> Xlaits: I am not sure it makes a difference, just a thought if you cant get it rolling in anything else...
[03:16] <bobweaver> blackmatrix_ny:  lets see the out put of     sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ps auc
[03:16] <bobweaver> crap
[03:16] <bobweaver> blackmatrix_ny:  lets see the out put of     sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ps aux | grep [a]pache2
[03:16] <blackmatrix_ny> huh ?
[03:17] <blackmatrix_ny> i will show you the output of ps -aef | grep -i apache
[03:17] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: try "lsof -i4"
[03:17] <blackmatrix_ny> I dont install shit from nowhere man...
[03:17] <blocky> I don't have any SCSI disks ,this is a fairly recent pc, core 2 duo
[03:17] <bobweaver> !info pastebinit | blackmatrix_ny
[03:17] <LittleBallOfHate> blocky: sata is identified as scsi
[03:18] <iHarp> Great repo for linux games: http://www.lgdb.org/games/popular
[03:18] <Xlaits_> L3top: Sorry, firefox crashed.
[03:19] <oscar76> !quit
[03:19] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/UuTi0T8Q
[03:19] <bobweaver> blackmatrix_ny:  sorry cant look I have bo gui :P
[03:19] <bobweaver> s|bo|no
[03:19] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, a what ?
[03:19] <L3top> Understood... I was just suggesting that if you cannot get it going otherwise, you may need the oracle jre Xlaits. Just a thought.
[03:20] <bobweaver> blackmatrix_ny:  a gui a graphical user interface
[03:20] <aaas> how far along is samba4, can i install this instead of samba?
[03:20] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, so you cant view the url in a browser ? I dont get it
[03:21] <FRodrigues_> Is there a site that i can see if a graphic card is working all right in 12.04?
[03:21] <Xlaits_> L3top: True, but I've tried installing it myself... and I fraggn' fail at it...
[03:21] <LittleBallOfHate> FRodrigues_: what card?
[03:21] <bobweaver> blackmatrix_ny: I am installing links now
[03:22] <FRodrigues_> LittleBallOfHate:  ati radeon hd 3200
[03:22] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, installing links ? ok I get it...you're joking right lol
[03:22] <L3top> Xlaits_: what version of ubuntu are you on
[03:22] <taxman> why not japanese w3m?
[03:22] <taxman> w3m > elinks > links > lynx
[03:22] <LittleBallOfHate> FRodrigues_: should work fine, may need to install additional drivers though
[03:23] <Xlaits_> L3top: As stated subtly before, Precise Pangolion...
[03:24] <L3top> Xlaits_: 32 or 64
[03:24] <blackmatrix_ny> netstat a tool written by dimwits
[03:25] <blackmatrix_ny> can't wait to get on my UNIX box tomorrow
[03:25] <Xlaits_> L3top: I believe 32.
[03:25] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: hey
[03:25] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, yes sir
[03:25] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: netstat -an doesn't work?
[03:26] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: or lsof -i4?
[03:26] <bobweaver> blackmatrix_ny:  there is no link there
[03:26] <ki4ro> Any active amateur radio operators here?
[03:26] <blocky> is there any guides anywhere on how to boot the livecd? I'm having a lot of problems
[03:26] <L3top> Xlaits uname -m
[03:26] <L3top> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html   lets try again, go ahead and grab the sdk
[03:27] <Fyodorovna> ki4ro, On the ubuntu support channel that is what is done here.
[03:27] <L3top> If you want Xlaits_
[03:27] <zig> Im trying to add a user to the system and i want my new user to inherit my alias commands. How may i do this?
[03:27] <bobweaver> blocky:  the 1st thing I do is check the md5sum if that is all good I then setup my bios to make sure that cd is reading 1st if that is what I am booting from. the bot will send you more info
[03:27] <bobweaver> !md5sum >> blocky
[03:28] <Xlaits_> L3top: i686
[03:28] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, both commands+options don't catch the apache running on port 80
[03:28] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: cp your .bashrc .profile or .zshrc to their home
[03:28] <bobweaver> !md5sum > blocky
[03:28] <L3top> ok grab the 32 bit Xlaits_
[03:28] <blackmatrix_ny> bobweaver, you give ubuntu a bad name man...stop playing
[03:28] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: but ps aux|grep apache shows it running?
[03:28] <L3top> I will grab a smoke while it dlds
[03:28] <Xlaits_> L3top: RPM or tar.gz?
[03:28] <zig> littleBallofHate - from root user profile?
[03:28] <blocky> well I think the iso is okay because I used it to install on my laptop
[03:28] <L3top> tar.gz Xlaits_
[03:28] <blocky> it's possible it was corrupted when I copied it to my flash drive
[03:29] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: whoever you log in as and have the aliases setup as
[03:29] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, yea...and my worry is that what other processes (trojans) is it not catching if it misses a big fish like apache
[03:29] <bobweaver> facepalm
[03:29] <zig> for now, i only have root account. want to create new user and still have alias. I will try that and get back with you
[03:29] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default is configured to put it on 80?
[03:30] <blackmatrix_ny> another reason to migrate to openbsd for more security
[03:30] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: make sure permissions are right when you copy
[03:30] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: openbsd rocks
[03:30] <zig> what should they be?
[03:30] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: just owned by the new user
[03:30] <blocky> what's the best way to create a bootable flash drive from an existing ubuntu system
[03:30] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, cmon dude...I know apache is running...http://pastebin.com/UuTi0T8Q
[03:31] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: just checking, i wasn't watching the whole convo
[03:31] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, yea...I'm a stickler for security and ubuntu is making me feel invaded
[03:31] <Xlaits_> L3top: about a minute left. Thanks for this.
[03:31] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: check /tmp for odd executable files please
[03:32] <ClientAlive> when I installed 12.04 server not long ago, I choose "use landscape to manage the system" during installation. From what little I've seen I'm starting to question that decision. Apart from paying for the service, is there any good reason for me to use it?
[03:32] <L3top> Xlaits_: take a look at this to begin with http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/linux/linux-jdk.html#install-32
[03:32] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, I actually developed a scanning script on my AIX box and wanted to port it to Ubuntu but the netstat tool is so weak on ubuntu linux
[03:32] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: if it's not showing stuff running you've got more problems than netstat
[03:33] <L3top> Xlaits_: and we are going to uninstall the openjre
[03:33] <bobweaver> !usb > blocky
[03:33] <Xlaits_> L3top: Awesome. Maybe Minecraft will run better from this as well...
[03:33] <blocky> thanks
[03:33] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, you lost me there buddy ? what should be showing stuff running ?
[03:34] <bobweaver> blocky:  np
[03:34] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: netstat. I'd bet you've been rootkitted
[03:34] <blocky> unity is starting to grow on me, or at least I find it less loathsome than before
[03:34] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, lol...ok getting a bit ahead of yourself but please elaborate
[03:34] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: only time i've EVER seen processes not listed in normal tools
[03:35] <arooni-mobile> curious about the benefits of adding a second hard drive (SSD) to my computer.  i mostly program and surf the web... dont know how bug a difference id see from a 7200rpm 500gb drive that i have in my lenovo t420 now.
[03:35] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: check /tmp for executable files. I'd bet you got pwned and the reverse shell that allowed them to rootkit you is there
[03:35] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      -
[03:35] <Xlaits_> L3top: ok, DLed.
[03:35] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: LOL
[03:36] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: it's listening on ipv6
[03:36] <hailey> I have installed 12.04 on this Compaq Presario V6000 and with it fully updated, I am unable to get the BCM4311 wirless NIC to work, doesn't seem possible.  I thought maybe if I could revert to one of the 2.6 kernels, I might have a shot but after the upgrades I can only boot the 3.2.0-24 kernel and I can only guess that this BCM-4311 is useless with this kernel.  Anyone know what can bee done here?
[03:36] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, I get that...my problem is why is not the PID or process name is not displayed but only '-' is displayed
[03:36] <bobweaver> hailey:  please open terminal and enter in    lspci -nn | grep 14e4       then paste the part in red plz
[03:37] <bobweaver> hailey:  like [14e4:4313]
[03:38] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: that was netstat -an output?
[03:38] <foobArrr> is there a way to block screensaver activation when a movie player is running? caffeine can do that, but it's not working for me on 12.04.
[03:38] <hailey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/966096/
[03:39] <bobweaver> foobArrr:  it is under system settings battary
[03:39] <bobweaver> hailey:  I have no browser what is the part that was in red ?
[03:40] <hailey> 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01)
[03:40] <bobweaver> halakar: nm
[03:40] <L3top> Xlaits_: please dpkg-query -l "openjdk*"     and tell me if any are installed
[03:40] <bobweaver> thanks
[03:40] <bobweaver> hailey:  lsmod | grep -e b43 -e wl
[03:41] <L3top> Xlaits_: also dpkg-query -l "*jre*" and tell me if any are installed
[03:41] <bobweaver> hailey:  which one shows up the wl or the b43 or nothing ?
[03:41] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: and forgive me, I'm drunk
[03:41] <Xlaits_> http://pastebin.com/afJTk1Tg
[03:41] <hailey> lsmod | grep -e b43 -e wl Returns nothing.
[03:41] <Xlaits_> L3top: http://pastebin.com/afJTk1Tg
[03:42] <bobweaver> hailey:  apt-cache policy dump b43 && apt-cache policy dump wl
[03:42] <bobweaver> hailey:  get anything back ?
[03:42] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, yea you should have said that first
[03:43] <waheed> hey guys, I need a sticky notes program like the one in windows seven that sticks "keep visible" to the desktop, I tried many from the software centre and all of them are trivia
[03:43] <waheed> ??
[03:43] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: I know my shit though :)
[03:43] <L3top> Xlaits_: sudo apt-get remove openjdk*
[03:43] <hailey> bobweaver: nada
[03:43] <Xlaits_> L3top: Purge?
[03:44] <bobweaver> hailey:  sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter && sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer && sudo modprobe b43 && sudo iwlist scan
[03:44] <bobweaver> hailey:  do you have wireless ?
[03:45] <L3top> Xlaits_: I am not sure. Lets do this instead... sudo apt-get -s remove --purge openjdk*          and pastebin the result. I want to see what all it wants to chunk out.  (-s will do a simulation)
[03:46] <Psykus> where would I start trying to troubleshoot the display not turning off after an amount of idle time on a laptop? i have the power settings set to turn off the display after 5 minutes instead of using a screen saver, and it just makes the screen black but doesn't actually turn off the screen
[03:47] <hailey> I seem to have wlan0 now.  Let me  see of there is anything I can do with it.
[03:47] <blocky> anyone know of a way to get win7-like resizing of windows to the left and right half of the screen, super key + left/right arrow?
[03:47] <shaneo> hey guys whats a good app for pasting from teminal to ubuntu pastebin
[03:47] <Xlaits_> L3top: Alright. I did the former. I'll do the latter now, just to be sure.
[03:47] <LittleBallOfHate> blocky: that's the onlhy thing I miss from windows 7
[03:47] <LittleBallOfHate> blocky: you figure it out, let me know
[03:47] <wylde> blocky: ctrl+super+ left or right
[03:47] <bobweaver> !info pastebinit > shaneo
[03:47] <blocky> I've got the up and down set in keyboard shortcuts
[03:47] <L3top> !pastebinit | shaneo
[03:47] <blocky> which is a start
[03:47] <Xlaits_> L3top: Done, and done.
[03:48] <shaneo> thanks L3
[03:48] <shaneo> thanks L3top
[03:48] <zig> what is the thing called at the left of the command line like… root@127.0.0.1:
[03:48] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: prompt
[03:48] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: PS1
[03:48] <L3top> Xlaits_: lets move that tar.gz to /usr/share
[03:49] <blocky> what on earth... the partition manager shows everything as a subfolder of /dev/mapper
[03:49] <twig11> How can I add images to be shown in the default desktop backgrounds list in the Appearance settings? I found instructions saying to add an image to /usr/share/backgrounds, then navigate there from the Appearance settings app and select it, but it still doesn't show up in the selection of default backgrounds. What's the trick to getting an image included as a background which any user can choose from the defaults and have shown as the lightdm background as wel
[03:49] <twig11> l?
[03:50] <Xlaits_> L3top: Permission denied...
[03:50] <LittleBallOfHate> Xlaits_: sudo?
[03:50] <L3top> sudo
[03:50] <Xlaits_> L3top: it would be helpful if I was using the command line...
[03:51] <zig> well, when i log in as my new user, i dont have a promt, it just says $
[03:51] <zig> is this normal?
[03:51] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: make sure their shell is set the same as yours
[03:51] <Xlaits_> L3top: Or knew the command for that period...
[03:51] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: if you copied your rc file there
[03:51] <L3top> What directory is it in currently Xlaits_
[03:51] <jrib> zig: how did you create this user?
[03:51] <Xlaits_> L3top: Downloads
[03:51] <L3top> Perhaps we should move to pm so as to not flood the channel.
[03:52] <zig> useradd zack
[03:52] <jrib> zig: use adduser, not useradd
[03:52] <Xlaits_> L3top: Yeah...
[03:52] <LittleBallOfHate> zig: you missed lots of options
[03:52] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, sorry to break it to you but no you dont
[03:52] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: you come up with something?
[03:52] <LittleBallOfHate> blackmatrix_ny: I can admit being wrong
[03:52] <jrib> !away > jsec
[03:52] <zig> so should i deluser?
[03:53] <jrib> zig: that would be the easy solution
[03:53] <blackmatrix_ny> LittleBallOfHate, when I get the proper unix netstat
[03:54] <zig> what options would you recommend i adduser with?
[03:54] <jrib> zig: you don't need any options with adduser
[03:55] <LittleBallOfHate> jrib: useradd
[03:55] <jrib> LittleBallOfHate: ?
[03:55] <LittleBallOfHate> jrib: he's creating a new user not adding to groups
[03:55] <jrib> LittleBallOfHate: adduser creates a new user as well
[03:55] <zig> oh wow, adduser is much nicer
[03:55] <LittleBallOfHate> blah
[03:56] <LittleBallOfHate> i like to make sure things are how I want them :)
[03:56] <mohit> hi there. i need help. i have downloaded 12.04 twice, ripped the cd and tried to use it but eerytime, it turned out to be wubi. is anyone else finding a similar problem?
[03:56] <zig> and that way also set my prompt up how i was used to
[03:56] <zig> thanks
[03:56] <wylde> mohit: uhhhh... if you don't wany wubi, boot from the cd?
[03:56] <wylde> want*
[03:57] <paulus68> I run 12.04 server with 2 nics, under vmware 1 nic is comming up automaticly the 2nd doesn't but can be launched manually how do I get the 2nd nic up automaticly?
[03:57] <jrib> zig: one of the differences is that adduser will automatically copy the contents /etc/skel/ into your user's home
[03:57] <footvilla> hey guys is there like a package that installs some sort of system monitor? that you can access remotely
[03:57] <mohit> the problem is that i have tried to download the installer iso but when i brn a cd from it, it turns out to be wubi
[03:57] <footvilla> to check on system health cpu
[03:57] <footvilla> etc
[03:57] <bobweaver> mohit:  I know that this might sound silly but what happens when you turn the computer on with the cd in the drive . if it goes too windows you have to boot you cd in the 1st order of boot or load the boot menu if you have one
[03:57] <zig> yes, that was what i was looking for.
[03:57] <zig> i have the alias, and the promt im used to. Thanks.
[03:58] <wylde> mohit: all the install images have wubi on them.
[03:58] <blocky> hmm okay same problem as before, grub-install /dev/mapper failed
[03:58] <bobweaver> mohit:  all that can be done from the bios unless this is a mac ?
[03:58] <blocky> Why is it not assigning regular drive numbering?
 where would I start trying to troubleshoot the display not turning off after an amount of idle time on a laptop? i have the power settings set to turn off the display after 5 minutes instead of using a screen saver, and it just makes the screen black but doesn't actually turn off the screen
[03:58] <twig11> How can I add images to be shown in the default desktop backgrounds list in the Appearance settings? I found instructions saying to add an image to /usr/share/backgrounds, then navigate there from the Appearance settings app and select it, but it still doesn't show up in the selection of default backgrounds. What's the trick to adding an image to the default set so any user can choose it and have it also show up as the lightdm background?
[03:58] <mohit> ok. its not a mac. an acer runing on windows vista
[03:58] <Psykus> figured this out by the way, xfce's power manager wasn't working correctly
[03:59] <Psykus> had to set the monitor settings in the screensaver menu instead
[03:59] <mohit> woud you have an idea, why the boot freezes when i try to use the cd?
[03:59] <bobweaver> mohit:  have you checked the md5sum ?
[03:59] <wylde> mohit: reboot with the cd in the drive. If it doesn't load from the cd you'll have to edit bios settings, or possibly hit f12 while the bios loads.
[03:59]  * paulus68 I hate vista
[04:01] <mohit> i checked the bios and it is set to boot from cd as the first preference.
[04:01] <hariom> I want to run my python script which has module import from the non standard location python (so python won't work but /opt/mylib/bin/python). I want to run this every 24 hours and any output of this should go to /var/log/myscript.log file. What should be the content of the cron script and where to keep it
[04:01] <Wildbat> is there a tools for tidying up indent for php/html ?
[04:01] <hariom> * 23 * * * /opt/mylib/bin/python /home/user/myscript.py > /var/log/myscript.log 2>&1       Is this correct?
[04:02] <paulus68> mohit: does the cd work on another pc/laptop
[04:02] <mohit> however i have not checked md5sum. how should i do that? i am trying to get back into ubuntu installed on my computer after installing vista
[04:02] <bobweaver> !md5sum | mohit
[04:02] <mohit> paul, dont have another comp to work on.
[04:03] <dr_willis> i was thinking the ccd had some sort of 'verify' item in its boot menus.. but that checks  the md5's of  the files. not the whole iso
[04:04] <hailey> After reboot, the BCM4311 works.  For some reason, I have to use CLI commands to connect, but it works.  Thanks all
[04:04] <mohit> will be back after checking md5s. thanks guys!
[04:04] <bobweaver> np hailey  enjoy
[04:04] <paulus68> mohit: ok if you burn another iso for instance server version, does it allow you to install server edition just a thought
[04:05] <paulus68> I run 12.04 server with 2 nics, under vmware 1 nic is comming up automaticly the 2nd doesn't but can be launched manually how do I get the 2nd nic up automaticly?
[04:05] <mohit> think no harm in trying. will try that as well. right now downloading from alternate source as well
[04:06] <dr_willis> paulus68:  quick fix.. put command in rc.local to  set it up. ;)
[04:06] <paulus68> dr_willis: how do you do this?
[04:07] <dr_willis> paulus68:  look at /etc/rc.local  its a script that gets ran at the end of the boot  process.
[04:07] <dr_willis> after all the other services start
[04:07] <simonp> hi all. why network upgrade from lucid to precise is still not possible? http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts still don't have precise...
[04:07] <Guest97419> updated 12.04 now am stuck in "low graphics" mode and any selection I pick goes to *checking battery state"  how do I get back to booting the os
[04:08] <blocky> does anyone know why the livecd creates a partition called /cow?
[04:08] <Guest97419> * you can response to "JD"
[04:09] <dr_willis> blocky:  cant say ive noticed that.
[04:09] <blocky> it's a filesystem called /cow which is mounted as /
[04:09] <blocky> in the filesystem
[04:09]  * Xlaits_ looks confused
[04:09] <blocky> something weird is going on with my system, I can't seem to get a bootloader installed
[04:09] <Guest97419> updated 12.04 now am stuck in "low graphics" mode and any selection I pick goes to *checking battery state"  how do I get back to booting the os
[04:10] <dr_willis> Guest97419:  you mean you can boot to the desktop. but its in low gfx mode?
[04:10] <bobweaver> Guest97419:  what is you gfx card ?
[04:10] <paulus68> dr_willis: what do I enter there?
[04:11] <dr_willis> paulus68: whatever commands you need to configure what it is you are trying to configure.
[04:11] <Guest97419> can not get to desktop...do not know gfx card...sony vaio...pentium 4
[04:11] <hnsz> Hello. I'm having a slight problem. I have no windows just what is in them. Also I haave a problem with certain flash videos. They have undiscernable video with only the basic colours. Others are fine. I don see how the two things are related but they started at the same time.
[04:11] <dr_willis> How can it be in 'low graphics mode;' if its snot getting to the desktop....
[04:11] <Guest97419> It starts up to "Ubuntu" and logo buttons
[04:11] <bobweaver> Guest97419:  are you looking at that computer can you talk here and type stuff on that one ?
[04:12] <bobweaver> Guest97419:  how many operating systems are installed on this computer ?
[04:12] <Guest97419> then goes to low graphics mode...am on separate pc...can't access anyting but black screen
[04:12] <dr_willis> hnsz:  if you mean you  have no window borders/decoration - thats a sign that compiz crashed..  try 'compiz --replace' in a terminal if  you  can
[04:12] <Guest97419> only one os...PP 12.04
[04:12] <bobweaver> Guest97419:  press ctrl+alt+f1
[04:12] <bobweaver> Guest97419:  sign in
[04:13] <paulus68> dr_willis: so basicly when I add there the command to bring the eth1 card up I will be good to go ?
[04:13] <dr_willis> paulus68:  yes. be sure its befor that last exit command in the file. and dont start anything that will take over the shell, or start things in the background. (common mistakes i see people make in here)
[04:14] <Guest97419> okay will try...be back soon
[04:14] <user1> hi, how to isntall bugzilla3 in ubuntu 10.04 server LTS, pls help me...
[04:14] <paulus68> dr_willis: just entering the things to bring the eth1 up and that's it
[04:15] <dr_willis> user1:  if its not in the repos. or a PPA. use the source.
[04:15]  * paulus68 **** never to old to learn**** thanks dr_Willis
[04:15] <Guest97419> woo hoo
[04:15] <Guest97419> that worked!
[04:15] <Guest97419> thanks!
[04:15] <bobweaver> Guest97419:  np you need to fix you gfx driver thou
[04:16] <user1> dr_willis, can u send me the link how to install bugzilla3
[04:16] <bobweaver> you can install bugzilla unser dev tools on mozilla
[04:16] <dr_willis> user1:  nope.. ive never used it.. the stndard routine is. check the repos.. check for  ppas or if all else fails resouirt to using the source for apps not in the repos.ppas
[04:17] <kameron> can someone help me with some basic drive mounting? I'm having a problem accessing the mounted drive by anyone except root.
[04:17] <Guest97419> ok bob...will do that...i know how to do that...not the cnl/alt/f1 thingy...but woo hoo anyway
[04:17] <dr_willis> kameron:  what filesystem is the FS in question
[04:17] <bobweaver> Guest97419:  glade too see that you are happy :)
[04:17] <kameron> dr_willis, ext4.
[04:18] <dr_willis> kameron:  then you need to set the proper ownersshiop or  permissions on the files   and dirs you  want the users to  access.
[04:18] <Guest97419> had the power go out yesterday and mucked up all the computers...lost a modem...had to fix win7 ip address...router settings...and it was a pain...but this...this is easy
[04:18] <paulus68> dr_willis: small question do I just enter ifconfig with all the parameters or would the syntax be different?
[04:18] <mohit> Guys MD5s are matching. trying different instances but have a feeling that there is something fundamentally wrong with what i might be doing!!
[04:19] <kameron> dr_willis, i have a drive that's completely blank and users can't create a directory or do anything. i'll paste my fstab for you to see.
[04:19] <dr_willis> paulus68:  same as you would use in the shell. since rc.local is ran as a shell script
[04:19] <kameron> dr_willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/966145/
[04:19] <paulus68> dr_willis: but no need to add sudo I presume just to be sure
[04:19] <dr_willis> kameron:  you set permissions/ownership  on the mountpoint after you  mount it.. that  sets the permissions for the 'root' of the drive. OR make a directory and chown/chmod that. and let theusers access tghat dir
[04:19] <Guest97419> btw...do you suppose the outage or the update messed up the graphics?
[04:19] <dr_willis> paulus68:  rc.local  IS ran by the system.. so  its  allready  ran as root
[04:19] <bobweaver> mohit:  please explain too me like I ma a 7 yr old how you are trying too do this . (sometimes I act like a 7yr old) :)
[04:20] <kameron> dr_willis, all my drives i can access just fine except for the ext4 drive mounted to "StoreSwap"
[04:20] <dr_willis> kameron:  it all depoends on the filesystem in use and the ownership/modes/permissions of the drives filesystemjs
[04:20] <Guest97419> thanks bob  thanks much
[04:20] <dr_willis> kameron:  the other drives are what filesystem?
[04:21] <kameron> dr_willis, ext4 and ntfs
[04:21] <dr_willis> ntfs - is setable at mounttime - because it does NOT support the normal linux  permissions.
[04:21] <dr_willis> thats the only  way to set the permissions.ownership on ntfs.
[04:21] <mohit> i downloaded the iso file "ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso" burned it to a dvd successfully and am trying to boot from dvd (have set it as first preference in bios). the boot just freezes. i have done this with 4 dvds now.
[04:22] <dr_willis> for normal linuxx filesystems you normally follow the standard permission 'rules'
[04:22] <bobweaver> mohit:  where does it frezze ?
[04:22] <kameron> mohit try adding option "nomodeset" when you boot.
[04:23] <dr_willis> mohit:  you  are burning a cd image to  a dvd disk: no  cd disks? why not try a usb flash:
[04:23] <bobweaver> mohit: meaning .... do you get a spash screen anything or does it just go to windo z ?
[04:23] <kameron> dr_willis, i see what i did wrong. i didn't set permissions of the folder it's being mounted to. it's working now. thanks!
[04:23] <dr_willis> mohit:  how did you burn it to  disk
[04:23] <dr_willis> kameron:  the permissions of the 'folder' after its mounted.. is a reflection of the permissions of the root of  the drive.  BEFOr  the mount.. the permissions dont matter.
[04:24] <kameron> dr_willis, that was my problem
[04:24] <mohit> after getting through bios.it dosnt go to windows. a "_" in the top left corner of the screen just flashes as the dvd tries hard to read. after a while, as i eject th dvd, the boot quickly jumps to windows.
[04:25] <dr_willis> i always just make a directory called 'UsersStorage' on the root of  the drive and chown/chmod  that.. the useres dont need to  see the LOST+FOUND directory :)
[04:25] <mohit> i used imgburn for one and cdburnerxp another time on a different pc
[04:25] <bobweaver> mohit:  what kind of computer is this ?
[04:26] <L3top> did you check the md5sum mohit?
[04:26] <dr_willis> mohit:  id try a usb boot. and test out  those disks on a differnt pc.  Ive  heard of  mixxed results burning the cd iso  image to a blank  DVD also.,
[04:26] <mohit> i tried burning a CD as well. exactly the same result.
[04:26] <mohit> acer aspire 6930
[04:26] <dr_willis> bbl.
[04:26] <mohit> ok. let me try a usb boot
[04:30] <worm> I have a small problem on ssh.
[04:31] <hnsz> How can I invoke a fsck?
[04:31] <worm> I used ssh to connect to another's computer, but the wall command cannot show him any information.
[04:31] <worm> I want to tell him something by a pop-up window, but how?
[04:32] <bobweaver> worm:  notify-send "this is a message about foo "
[04:32] <hnsz> that's cute :)
[04:34] <wylde> !fsck | hnsz
[04:35] <aaas> i cant ping my windows machines from ubuntu or my dd-wrt router, any ideas?
[04:35] <hnsz> wylde: Thanks
[04:35] <wylde> hnsz: np
[04:35] <worm> aaas: Any error message? Type ifconfig to see your network status.
[04:36] <aaas> worm network is fine, i can get out to internet on all boxes
[04:36] <aaas> worm ping error is "destination host unreachable"
[04:36] <aaas> worm firewall disabled on both sides
[04:37] <worm> aaas: That means you might have the wrong ip address of them.
[04:37] <bobweaver> aaas: are you on wifi ?
[04:37] <aaas> worm bobweaver no
[04:37] <aaas> not on wifi
[04:37] <aaas> windows machines can ping each other
[04:37] <aaas> dd-wrt sets static ips of all machines
[04:37] <aaas> cant ping by hostname or ip
[04:37] <bobweaver> are the other  machines up ?
[04:38] <aaas> bobweaver yes
[04:38] <worm> aaas: can you paste your ifconfig here?
[04:38] <bobweaver> aaas:  what does traceroute do ?
[04:38] <aaas> bobweaver traceroute to where?
[04:38] <aaas> worm one sec
[04:39] <bobweaver> to the other machines aaas
[04:39] <violinappren> worm:  before calling notify-send, you have to: export DISPLAY="0.0"
[04:39] <violinappren> worm: correction:  it's :0.0 not 0.0
[04:39] <aaas> bobweaver unknown host
[04:39] <aaas> bobweaver ill try from the router

[04:41] <aaas> angry ip scanner?
[04:41] <aaas> worm http://pastebin.com/0T6S2MfX
[04:42] <blocky> okay now I've done something really bad
[04:42] <worm> aaas try ping 192.168.1.255 -b
[04:42] <blocky> I changed a bios setting from SATA enhanced to SATA compatible and now when I power on the machine it just says Express Gate
[04:42] <blocky> caps lock doesn't even work
[04:43] <aaas> worm works
[04:43] <hnsz> blocky: bios reset?
[04:43] <wylde> blocky: can you get back into bios to fix it? If not you're going to have to reset the bios :)
[04:43] <blocky> no, can't even get to bios
[04:43] <worm> aaas: Have you received some "DUP"?
[04:43] <hnsz> blocky: check your motherboard manual :)
[04:43] <aaas> worm "dup"?
[04:43] <blocky> what the hell asus, not cool
[04:44] <wylde> blocky: yep, what hnsz said
[04:44] <worm> aaas: something like time **ms (DUP!) or duplicates.
[04:44] <wylde> blocky: just because you CAN change a bios option, doesn't mean you should! lol >.<
[04:45] <aaas> worm no
[04:45] <worm> aaas try arp.
[04:45] <blocky> wylde I don't think it's supposed to lock up
[04:45] <worm> aaas:  it will show you the ip address and the mac address of the computers connected to yours.
[04:45] <aaas> worm windows machines show (incomplete) for hwtyp hwaddress flag amsk
[04:46] <worm> aaas then arping the ip address of the router and the windows machine.,
[04:46] <wylde> blocky: I would imagine not
[04:47] <rychusj> does anyone have any advice on how to fix a duplicate source.list entry?
[04:47] <worm> aaas: If everything works well, the reply of them included a broadcast and a lot of unicasts.
[04:47] <aaas> worm shows same info as 'arp' alone
[04:47] <bobweaver> rychusj:  sudo apt-get --fix-broken update
[04:48] <rychusj> bobweaver: tried it and still getting the same message
[04:49] <worm> aaas: How many broadcasts?
[04:49] <aaas> worm how do i know
[04:50] <worm> aaas: is that arping but not arp?
[04:50] <blocky> motherboard manual doesn't address this problem
[04:50] <hnsz> blocky: Which motherboard?
[04:50] <blocky> asus p5q pro
[04:50] <wylde> blocky: look for "bios reset"
[04:50] <bobweaver> rychusj:  could you use paste.ubuntu.com and paste the error that you are getting and also    cat /etc/apt/source.list
[04:51] <aaas> worm ah ok sorry, from router i get nothing
[04:51] <worm> aaas: at the end you can see the broadcasts and responds .(After you typed ^C)
[04:52] <aaas> worm 65 broadcasts
[04:52] <worm> aaas: no respond?
[04:52] <aaas> worm no, same from router #2
[04:52] <worm> aaas: can you try to ping those things again?
[04:52] <aaas> worm same with ubuntu machine
[04:53] <hnsz> blocky: you know what a jumper is?
[04:53] <aaas> worm from ubuntu -> windows #1 ('destination host unreachable'
[04:54] <aaas> worm same with router #1 and #2
[04:54] <aaas> worm routers -> ubuntu ping fine
[04:54] <blocky> hnsz, yeah I found it, back in bios now, thanks
[04:54] <hnsz> blocky: On the bottom you have two pci slots, right to those slot are three little pins on pin 1 and 2 there is a jumper. You have to put the jumper on pin 2 and 3 and then back on pin 1 2 again
[04:54] <rhizmoe> what can i use for arin lookups? like whois -a used to be
[04:55] <worm> aaas how about 192.168.1.151 and 192.168.1.1?
[04:55] <aaas> worm windows #1 to #2 ping fine
[04:55] <aaas> worm what about them?
[04:55] <blocky> I think there is some sort of RAID I was not aware of here
[04:56] <rychusj> bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966172/
[04:56] <rychusj> bobweaver: is cat/etc/apt/source.list a terminal command?  not sure how to get to that
[04:57] <hnsz> blocky: Itś scary isn it :p
[04:57] <blocky> I have no clue what is happening with this system
[04:57] <bobweaver> rychusj:  yes it is but there is a space like   cat   /ect/apt/sources.list
[04:57] <blocky> hnsz, yeah I was panicked
[04:57] <blocky> I've installed grub to two locations so far, still can't get linux to boot
[04:58] <blocky> seem to have found a disk that boots windows though
[04:58] <worm> aaas: I am not sure what's up then... So sorry. Can anyone else help aaas?
[04:58] <aaas> its ok worm thanks for trying...it might be dd-wrt..the fact that i can do windows to windows and ubuntu to routers seems like it's not a perticular machine

[05:06] <paquistaum> thanks
[05:07] <MechanisM> gaelfx tried via synaptic and command line
[05:07] <blocky> I think there was some sort of mirroring in place on two identical 1tb drives, and when I clicked Install alongside windows, ubuntu blew out one of them
[05:07] <wylde> dem0n: I was actually just looking up how to do it.
[05:07] <rychusj> bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966184/
[05:07] <gaelfx> MechanisM: did you try cleaning the cache and redownloading the package?
[05:07] <MechanisM> I have settings to remove cache each time
[05:08] <gaelfx> MechanisM: so it redownloaded the package each time? maybe try changing mirrors
[05:09] <MechanisM> gaelfx yep it redownloaded each time. I'm using main repos. not mirrors
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> dem0n: did you try droid xchat?
[05:11] <dem0n> lotuspychje: i am actually looking for an irc client for linux ( i have ubuntu 12.04) installed on my android bionic phone
[05:11] <wylde> dem0n: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/irssi
[05:12] <dem0n> wylde: do you think any of those will work on ubuntu for android phones?
[05:13] <dem0n> because its a different processor
[05:13] <snadge> dammit ubuntu.. y u remove memtest86 from desktop install image? :|
[05:13] <dem0n> oh wow maybe i didn't notice the descriptions...
[05:13] <wylde> dem0n: not sure, can't say I've had the oppotunity to try :)
[05:13] <blocky> okay is anyone familiar with /dev/mapper
[05:14] <wylde> dem0n: there's debs for armel and armhf
[05:14] <snadge> now i have to go out of my way to create a custom memtest86 usb key.. instead of just using my ubuntu one
[05:15] <wylde> dem0n: click the 0.8.15-etc link under Precise and scroll to Package files.
[05:15] <zig> anybody know why my index.php file is downloading instead of being parsed?

[05:17] <foolsh> zig or php isn't installed at all
[05:17] <blocky> where am I supposed to install grub?
[05:18] <aaas> worm problem was wierd...i changed the  motherboard on one of the windows machines...this made the mac address change, so the router did not assign the proper static ip because mac changed, at the same time other windows machine was logging in with eth instead of wifi and it's ip changed too
[05:18] <aaas> worm so i had the wrong ip all along because it changed on me on two machines
[05:19] <foolsh> @blocky over writing the MBA is usually safe or do you mean which hard drive? In that case /dev/sda
[05:21] <blocky> I'm giving up on ubuntu for the night
[05:22] <blocky> there is some weird bios raid and I've already messed it up
[05:22] <blocky> don't think I've nuked any data yet
[05:23] <foolsh> @blocky I usually make a small /boot partition to install any boot centric files and make it bootable duh. then create a raid to mount root on /
[05:24] <blocky> okay this system has two 1tb drives, with something called /dev/bootmapper
[05:24] <zig> lotuspsychje: thanks. just reinstalled php5 and worked liek a charm.
[05:24] <blocky> and inside that there is a 1tb ntfs and a slightly smaller ext4 and a swap
[05:26] <optimus> hello
[05:26] <optimus> i need help
[05:26] <Restringere> Got a question: I just found out my CPU (Dual Core Intel) supports 64 bit, will using Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit improve performance if I have just 2 Gigs of Ram?
[05:27] <foolsh> @blocky mmm mmm mmm you should sit down take a deep breath plan it out on paper and maybe test it out first with another system and back every thing up before you get stuck some where in the install and can not boot any more.
[05:27] <optimus> i just upgrade vmware workstation and worstation stop working
[05:27] <blocky> yeah, that's the problem, I'm not sure what he wants in terms of raid
[05:28] <blocky> I managed to boot back into win7 by selecting one of the two drives as the boot device in the bios, but windows is showing a 1tb corrupt drive in my computer
[05:28] <blocky> parted wasn't able to read it either
[05:28] <blocky> so I'm leaving it for the night, until I can be more sure of what I'm doing
[05:28] <dem0n> yes!!
[05:29] <dem0n> i found irssi for Linux ARM processors in a .deb file that works great!
[05:29] <KM0201> optimus: you'd have better luck w/ that asking in #vmware ... thats not really an ubuntu problem
[05:29] <wylde> dem0n: \o/
[05:29] <dem0n> here is the address incase anyone here ever needs it
[05:29] <dem0n> http://160.26.2.181/ports/pool/main/i/irssi/
[05:29] <foolsh> @blocky either way a smallish 100~200mb partition on the first hard drive and a raid on the rest is what I usually do to make booting a safe bet.
[05:29] <dem0n> man that feels good!
[05:32] <foolsh> @optimus `sudo apt-get purge vmwarepackagename` and then a reinstall might fix that.
[05:33] <rychusj> cany anyone help me with this error i get with sudo apt-get update? http://paste.ubuntu.com/966209/
[05:33] <gaelfx> MechanisM: sorry, domestic issue
[05:33] <ludkiller> i got the follwing Error While Installing Virtual Box Guest Addition on Ubuntu 11.04
[05:33] <ludkiller> topic. This channel is logged. Use of this channel implies acceptance of terms at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/TermsOfSe
[05:33] <ludkiller> not this error
[05:33] <ludkiller> sorry
[05:34] <ludkiller> wrong clipboard
[05:34] <gaelfx> MechanisM: so it hangs when trying to write the config for 3.2.0-23?
[05:34] <MechanisM> gaelfx now I can't even intsall new gimp 2.8 coz of this issue with kernel.. it's tries to install each time. and each time fails
[05:34] <foolsh> @Restringere 32bit verses 64bit is not as much about performance, as it is about dealing with bigger numbers at higher precisions
[05:34] <gaelfx> 64-bit should run fine on an AMD E-450 proc, right?
[05:34] <MechanisM> yep I did paste and linked for it. the last lines is where its stops and freezes
[05:35] <ludkiller> "the hearders for the Current Running Kernel Were Not Found .If the Following Module Compilation Fails Then THis could be the Reason"
[05:35] <wilee-nilee> foolsh, the @ does not notify the nic type the first few letters and hit tab.
[05:35] <gaelfx> MechanisM: maybe you should try re-installing 3.2.0-23?
[05:36] <foolsh> wilee-nilee: Ah thanks
[05:36] <LKJ> hello! everyone
[05:36] <wilee-nilee> foolsh, no problem. :)
[05:36] <foolsh> good ol` tab key
[05:36] <MechanisM> gaelfx I don't even have it. it's from other system. installed in other hdd
[05:37] <MechanisM> 2 ubuntu on diffirent hdds
[05:37] <gaelfx> MechanisM: well, if you don't even have that kernel, then perhaps that's the reason that it hangs when trying to config. What do you mean by "it's from other system. installed on other hdd"?
[05:37] <MechanisM> 3.2.0-23 from some other ubuntu while current one has only 3.2.0-24
[05:38] <gaelfx> MechanisM: do you have two separate /boot folders?
[05:38] <MechanisM> 2 hdds and 2 ubuntus installed on each hdd. I think no. I'm currently disconnected other hdd
[05:39] <ubuntu_> hello i need help with this fdisk: unable to read /dev/sdb: Invalid argument
[05:39] <rile_bre|2> .../ is off a lil ..but any news for magic jack on linux platvorm .....???
[05:40] <gaelfx> MechanisM: I think the problem is with having two separate installs on two separate HDDs on one system, since the update is trying to write config for a kernel installed on a different HDD
[05:41] <dr_willis> i normally  decide on one of  the installs to handle grub., or let each instrall keep its grub  on its own hd - then select what hd to boot at powerup
[05:41] <dr_willis> you can have ubuntu not search for other os's - if you wanted to keep it from having the other os  in its menus
[05:41] <MechanisM> gaelfx how can I fix it? I don't actually need second ubuntu I can remove it.
[05:42] <ubuntu_> hello i need help with this fdisk: unable to read /dev/sdb: Invalid argument
[05:42] <gaelfx> MechanisM: dr_willis can probably help you better than I can
[05:42] <dr_willis> delete the other os/ubuntu and rerun update-grub on  the one you  are keeping. it should clean out the menuu  itemss
[05:42] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  check  'sudo fdisk -l' and see if sdb is even  shown
[05:43] <MechanisM> dr_willis I'm disconnected other hdd so it's like removed. Now I can update-grub?
[05:43] <MechanisM> It will fix update to new kernel?
[05:43] <dr_willis> MechanisM:  that should clean  out the extra entries
[05:44] <dr_willis> no idea aboit  fixing any  updates...
[05:44] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: no it's not there
[05:44] <dr_willis> ubuntu_ then either the hd is dead, bios is  not seeing it. or its not really  sdb ..
[05:44] <foolsh> ubuntu_: Or bad hard drive cable maybe?
[05:45] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: disk utility is showing it but giving an error when i am trying to format it
[05:45] <MechanisM> dr_willis the main problems is I'm unable to install new kernel. Upgrade fails on http://paste.ubuntu.com/966180/
[05:45] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  id do a clean reboot. then see what gparted sayd about it.

[05:49] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966223/
[05:49] <dr_willis> what mirrors was it using.. be sure the 2 are using  the same. or just try  differnt mirrors
[05:49] <dquirk> "/etc/gdm3/Init/Default" does anyone know of lightdm equivalent?
[05:49] <c4pt-otc> can anyone help me I am trying to use programs that need opencl on ubuntu
[05:50] <c4pt-otc> when i try running ./clinfo it doesnt seem to work (and programs that use opencl dont work either)
[05:50] <MechanisM> dr_willis now update-grub is freezed.. any command relative to kernels is freezed..
[05:50] <c4pt-otc> I installed AMDAPP 2.6 and catalyst 2.6
[05:50] <c4pt-otc> (and catalyst 11.12)
[05:51] <MechanisM> dr_willis I did update-gruband just freezed. no any output. can't stop it.
[05:51] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  if its having issues with the partion table that can be very  bad. IS this a empty drive: or is there imporntant data on it:
[05:51] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: no there is nothing important in it
[05:51] <dr_willis> MechanisM:  can ssh in to the box.   or get to the console. see what dmesg says if any  errors.
[05:51] <foolsh> ludkiller_: There are many many different mirrors and servers out there. A dump to paste bin of the out put would be help a lot here.
[05:51] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: i just want to format it for further uses
[05:52] <dquirk> "/etc/gdm3/Init/Default" does anyone know of lightdm equivalent?
[05:52] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  you may want to zero out  the drive with dd and repartion it..  what have you  done to the drive recentl? anything?
[05:53] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: cleaned the drive using clean command of disk part utility in windows
[05:54] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  no idea what that does..  could be it left it unpartioned.  if gparted is having a hard time seeing partions on it. you  may want to 'zero' the drive via 'dd' and try making a new  partion table.
[05:54] <dr_willis> that will totally  erase the  hd.
[05:55] <MechanisM> dr_willis how to stop freezed command "update-grub"?
[05:55] <dquirk> Anyone have any ideas?
[05:55] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: how can i do that with dd
[05:55] <dquirk> I would appreciate?
[05:56] <L3top> dquirk: what are you trying to accomplish?
[05:56] <dr_willis> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX   - replaceing X with the proper drive letter.. and DONT make a mistake.. dd will erase the  hd.. a typo = wrong drive ..
[05:56] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  if  the /dev/sdX device is not showing up properly. that would point to  a hardwware issue.

[06:00] <saju> Getting error while trying to mount # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2   mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[06:00] <dr_willis> ubuntu_ gparted will ask to  make one.  usse the 'dos' type  for it. (the default option)
[06:00] <saju> how find filesystem type of /dev/sda2  ?
[06:00] <foolsh> ubuntu_: if every thing else fails see if the bios has detected the drive correctly, if not check your hard drive cable. And remember everything dies sooner or later

[06:07] <saju> ok

[06:09] <gaelfx> VP: but to be safe, you may want to use unetbootin instead of startup disk creator
[06:10] <dr_willis> ubuntu_ and how big was that hard drive?
[06:10] <zykotic10> VP: fyi with precise you can just cat the iso to a usb and it should work.
[06:10] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: 50 Gb
[06:10] <gaelfx> zykotic10: but he's on Maverick, not Precise
[06:11] <dr_willis> ubuntu_ output seems to show it was only able to zero out 1.5gb of it.. try gparted on it now and see if you can partion it.
[06:11] <zykotic10> gaelfx: what VP is on doesn't matter, it's the ISO image that matters
[06:11] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: same as before
[06:11] <gaelfx> zykotic10: gotcha. Thought you were saying using precise as the OS, not the iso
[06:12] <VP> 1gaelfx: zykotic10: Thank you very much
[06:12] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  sounds like the hd may be habing hardware issues to me. how old is it?
[06:12] <VP> gaelfx: zykotic10: Thank you very much!
[06:14] <ubuntu_> dr_willis:around 4 y
[06:14] <gaelfx> ubuntu_: sounds like it's time for an upgrade
[06:15] <foolsh> ubuntu_: replace that cable first before you give up
[06:15] <ubuntu_> gaelfx: so what is the expected life of a sata hdd
[06:15] <L3top> There is no answer to that question ubuntu_.
[06:15] <ubuntu_> foolsh: yeah i am going to try that
[06:16] <gaelfx> ubuntu_: depends on usage, but as foolsh said, you may want to try replacing the cable, or at least testing it on a different device like a CD/DVD ROM
[06:17] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: gaelfx foolsh  thanks for you support
[06:17] <dr_willis> a 50gb hard drive thatss 4 yrs old: they made them that small back then? ;)
[06:18] <gaelfx> that's what she said
[06:18] <dr_willis> that seems... weird,
[06:19] <gaelfx> if I were to install 64-bit on an AMD E-450, could it have 4 threads or just 2?
[06:19] <gaelfx> *would
[06:20] <zykotic10> gaelfx: 32 vs 64 bitnesses, has nothing to do with threads...
[06:20] <gaelfx> zykotic10: ok
[06:20] <dr_willis> i was thinking that was a odd use of the term 'threads'
[06:21] <gaelfx> I do tend to use words in odd ways
[06:23] <dr_willis> do you mean 'cores' ?
[06:25] <gaelfx> dr_willis: well, the E-450 has 2 cores, but it can have up to 4 threads, I just wasn't sure if the 'bitness' would have any affect on that
[06:26] <foolsh> http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E-450.html          Says two threads I guess because its not hyper threaded
[06:26] <gaelfx> the processor I have right now is an Atom N450, which has one core, but two threads, however, it's capable of running 64-bit OSes
[06:27] <dr_willis> and the os shows it as having 2 cpus?
[06:27] <gaelfx> dr_willis: yeah
[06:27] <foolsh> my p4 has to threads, but is not dual core and shows up as two cpus
[06:27] <gaelfx> dr_willis: but I'm running 32-bit right now
[06:31] <dr_willis> i basically always go 64bit on any hardware that can run 64bit
[06:31] <dr_willis> cant think of much reason to not do it that way - these days
[06:32] <zozy> dr_willis: afaik the officially recommende version is 32 bit on desktops
[06:33] <dr_willis> zozy:  thats been discussed befor. and was supposed to be changed to 64bit i heard.. its more of a 'idiot proofing' attempt - if someone has NO clue what 32/64bit means.. its saying 'if yoou dont know. go 32bit'
[06:34] <dr_willis> theress also supposed to be a move to using the PAE kernel by default on 32bit installs.
[06:34] <zozy> i see
[06:34] <dr_willis> so we wont get the  'why is ubuntu not seeing all my 8gb of ram' questions ;)
[06:34] <zozy> haha:D
[06:34] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: i got it working by erasing the mbr although it's now only 46
[06:35] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  you mean 46gb?  that dd command should of erased the mbr also..
[06:35] <dr_willis> unless you dd'd th wrong disk..
[06:35] <ubuntu_> sudo fdisk if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1
[06:36] <dr_willis> that basically does the same as my earlier dd command.. only mine does the whole disk
[06:36] <dr_willis> im not sure if i would trust that disk very much,
[06:37] <ubuntu_> dr_willis: this this i plugged it into my windows machine then disk management did the work
[06:39] <dr_willis> bbl. got a job to do.

[06:45] <gaelfx> zruty: nope, and there's no reason to expect it to any time soon

[06:47] <gaelfx> zruty: http://developer.pidgin.im/milestone/Voice%20and%20Video%20Support and it hasn't changed in the past 3 years or so
[06:47] <foolsh> Wasn't there a messenger that did v4l?
[06:47] <foolsh> its been a while

[06:49] <gaelfx> !patience | beeju
[06:49] <foolsh> I have seen skype for linux, google hang out and tiny chat all work so it's no wonder anything else stalled.
[06:49] <zruty> gaelfx: Thanks! I will check it out
[06:51] <foolsh> beeju: to be honest, I don't understand the question could you maybe explain more about the issue
[06:51] <gaelfx> zruty: no problem
[06:52] <gaelfx> beeju: the most confusing part is your use of the phrase "pops out," it makes me think it's going down the street for a drink
[06:53] <beeju> foolsh, on gnome desktop, when u mount an external drive, an small window with "open files" and "eject the drive" appears at the bottom of the dektop.

[06:55] <AxD09> mlitz: open ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc and remove all the custom color lines
[06:55] <gaelfx> is it .bashrc that controls the colors of output in terminal?
[06:56] <gaelfx> there ya go
[06:56] <beeju> gaelfx, we need to drink  a carton of  beer for not to be frustrated when using modern Ubuntu.With more and more technicals,actually Ubuntu goes to its younger age.

[06:58] <AxD09> mlitz: np
[06:58] <gaelfx> goodbye, #ubuntu
[06:58] <g0rby> Good morning,  could some one help me unbrick my system? :)
[06:58] <g0rby>  I was 1/2 way through a 12.04 upgrade from 11.04 It had got to the part where things were asking to be configured in a terminal and my power went down. Now when i reboot I get the error mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2) General error mounting filesystems. A maintainance shell will now be started
[06:59] <foolsh> beeju: also the desktop/gnome directory
[06:59] <alankila> g0rby: the command dpkg --configure -a is what you need
[06:59] <alankila> let's hope you can get that to execute
[06:59] <g0rby> cool, but i ifconfig lists nothing
[06:59] <g0rby> even though i have cable connection
[07:00] <alankila> forget about that, your first priority is to finish the upgrade
[07:00] <beeju> foolsh, I got the idea. To remove that window I need to click "three times" at top left  of it. Good idea!
[07:01] <sasori2501> hey all.  trying out 12.04. and really trying to give unity a go.  anyways, anyone know how to apply how the files in folders layout can be applied system wide??  the old way doesnt work ne more.
[07:02] <g0rby> alankila: thx for help, when i run that it winges about read only file system
[07:02] <alankila> g0rby: okay, mount / -o remount,rw then
[07:02] <g0rby> should i reboot to recovery mode then try it?
[07:02] <alankila> might also have to fsck it
[07:03] <g0rby> alankila: it runs now but then dies "errors were encountered processing:" (lots of packages)
[07:04] <g0rby> some pretty important ones
[07:04] <g0rby> like module-init-tools
[07:04] <alankila> g0rby: okay, try to run it a few times, if it makes no progress, try apt-get -f install
[07:04] <unique1> guys pls i need help with my ubuntu
[07:04] <g0rby> I see the package "mountall" which is present in the error message at boot, mabe try something with that?
[07:04] <alankila> the downside is that it might want something from network though, but the key here is to, one way or other, identify the problematic bits and force the upgrade to finish
[07:05] <unique1> when i download files and try to install them i get errors
[07:05] <alankila> the downloaded archives are at /var/cache/apt/archives, so you can also try dpkg -i them directly
[07:05] <unique1> or even how to run my installed files
[07:05] <sre> unique1, which files ?
[07:05] <unique1> what command to use
[07:05] <unique1> i downloaded termsaver
[07:05] <unique1> and installed it
[07:05] <unique1> but dunno which command to run it
[07:06] <unique1> btw termsaver is a terminal
[07:06] <nibbler_> unique1, dpkg -L $packagename shows you the content of any package
[07:07] <sasori2501> anyone know how to apply how the files in folders layout can be applied system wide??  the old way doesnt work ne more.
[07:07] <sre> unique1, open a terminal and run termsaver
[07:07] <g0rby> alankila: cool, think we are getting there with apt-get install -f lots of shizz happening
[07:08] <unique1> sre when i open terminal, which command to use to run the teamsaver?
[07:08] <alankila> g0rby: yes... alternate between these commands, then do apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:08] <sre> unique1, termsaver
[07:08] <alankila> with luck you will reach the finishing line of complete upgrade and after sync + reboot things should be good again
[07:08] <sre> unique1, important that the program have been installed and also located in $PATH
[07:09] <unique1> sre say i have the prog on my desktop
[07:09] <unique1> open terminal and enter cd Desktop
[07:10] <unique1> then what next?
[07:10]  * alankila *really* hopes that debian would switch to "set packages up as early as possible" logic, instead of installing 500 and then setting them all up, because interruptions between the replace and setup seem to be so catastrophic
[07:10] <unique1> cd teamsaver
[07:10] <alankila> need to be going now.
[07:10] <unique1> what next??
[07:11] <foolsh> unique1: you said you had errors trying to install it didn;t you?
[07:11] <homepage> cd
[07:11] <unique1> i installed already the termsaver i had errors with terminator term
[07:11] <homepage> sudo what?
[07:12] <unique1> but i still dunno how to run the termsaver i installed
[07:12] <unique1> i do sudo python setup.py
[07:12] <fidel_> homepage: what are you trying to do?
[07:12] <sre> unique1, wild guess is that you now have the source files in a folder located in your Desktop folder. That is not a adequate installation
[07:12] <g0rby> alankila: apt-get dist-upgrade is doing loads of stuff, but apt-get-upgrade wanted to get stuff from the net
[07:12] <unique1> i do sudo python setup.py install
[07:13] <unique1> yes i have the files for the termsaver on my desktop with a build inside also
[07:13] <hariom> How to know if the cronjob I have setup is running?
[07:13] <g0rby> alankila:  but ive seen it go through the problematic packages, think its going to be ok after this :)
[07:13] <hariom> I see the output from "crontab -l " and it shows the task I setup
[07:13] <subdesign> hariom, set it first time for 5 second
[07:13] <homepage> woi
[07:14] <fidel_> hariom: check syslog
[07:14] <hariom> subdesign: How do you setup for seconds?
[07:14] <unique1> sre i did, cd desktop, cd termsaver-0.1 any idea what next command to use and run the termsaver??
[07:14] <subdesign> hariom, lot of article on google about that :)
[07:15] <hariom> subdesign: I think it is for min, hour, week, month, and day in a week only
[07:15] <subdesign> hariom, http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/07/cron-every-5-minutes/
[07:15] <fidel_> afaik cron needs at least 1 min - so under 60 sec is not recommended
[07:15] <drake01> anybody using terminus font on xterm. it behaves odd on xterm.. It'll display dmaind and d;d instead of 'main' and ';
[07:15] <hariom> fidel_: yea
[07:15] <drake01> on rxvt and other terminals it works fine..
[07:16] <drake01> Help Please!!
[07:17] <hariom> subdesign: Cron job cannot be used to schedule a job in seconds interval. i.e You cannot schedule a cron job to run every 5 seconds.
[07:17] <newby> how can i set the kezboard szstemwide_
[07:17] <subdesign> really?
[07:17] <hariom> subdesign: That is coming from the link you suggested. So until the script do that thing, at least cron can't do that
[07:18] <foolsh> unique1: http://www.termsaver.info/
[07:18] <sre> unique1, the solution :D thanks to foolsh :)
[07:19] <subdesign> hariom, i usually check cron in 5 min cycle for php dev, and have no problem with it
[07:20] <hariom> subdesign: 5 min is fine, not 5 seconds. as fidel_ suggested, syslog shows the cron job activity
[07:21] <subdesign> ahh sorry i misspelled

[07:26] <newby> dh33p4n, lxde
[07:27] <foolsh> dh33p4n: yeah lxde not pretty but light and fast
[07:27] <dh33p4n> thanks newby, foolsh.

[07:31] <usbhelp> Hi all, I'm getting the following error: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5. The device I'm plugging in does not get recognized in lsusb. A quick fix I've found is boot into console mode, and type sudo service gdm restart. This makes ubuntu recognize the device and works again. I'm looking for a more permanet fix for this problem, as well as try to understand why this is happening.

[08:07] <foolsh> akhilesh: You have a bug that rarely rears it's ugly head, to fix it you will have to edit the dreaded /etc/X/xorg.conf file that probably doesn't even exist on your harddrive yet
[08:07] <cfoch> hello: I'm a little pea.
[08:07] <zykotic10> pvh_sa: all presets or presets for MP4?
[08:07] <ljsoftnet> how do i use jstest-gtk?
[08:08] <foolsh> akhilesh: is your resolution stuck at a very low setting?
[08:08] <akhilesh> foolsh:i did that all thing, what you are saying,but no response!!!!
[08:08] <pvh_sa> zykotic10, the presents for DVD are off (use a -mv0 argument that doesn't work)

[08:09] <akhilesh> foolsh:yes!!
[08:09] <zykotic10> pvh_sa: sorry was just asking about MP4 specifically.  Don't know about other issues with ffmpeg, good luck.

[08:11] <akhilesh> foolsh:now what do i do????
[08:11] <resting> i'd configured vsftp to listen on port 2121..but on client side its not able to connect to it..
[08:11] <resting> am i missing some steps?
[08:12] <foolsh> akhilesh: alright give me minute to find some resources but the good news is that the xorg.conf file we make to night should last you the life of the computer you're using
[08:12] <llutz> resting: sudo lsof -i :2121                does it really listen? what error clientside? what errors in the serverlogs?
[08:13] <akhilesh> foolsh:ok, i am waiting for your answer!!
[08:13] <sdi_> hallo alle zusammen
[08:15] <sdi_> hab da ein problem hab ubuntu 12.04 und hab mit remastersys eine dist gemacht und nun seh ich das ich die nicht installieren kann hab dan eine backup.iso gemacht das selbe kann nicht installieren kein installer da
[08:15] <resting> llutz: yes..its listening…i'm using filezilla…it just says connection timed out
[08:15] <resting> no logs in vsftpd.log
[08:16] <sdi_> kann mir da bitte jemand helfen ?
[08:16] <llutz> !de | sdi
[08:16] <sdi_> ah ok wusste ich nicht danke
[08:17] <llutz> resting: any filtering (iptables-)rules active?
[08:17] <linusasus6> zykotick10 it is my-sys I try to install
[08:18] <resting> llutz: i did sudo iptables -L | grep ftp…it shows  tcp anywhere anywhere…i guess there's no filtering?
[08:19] <llutz> resting: if you use "ftp" it uses port 21
[08:19] <zykotic10> !tab > linusasus6 sorry i'm not familiar with my-sys, and see it's not an ubuntu package - good luck
[08:19] <llutz> resting: means 2121 still filtered
[08:20] <resting> llutz: oo…so i have to manually set a rule?
[08:20] <llutz> resting: yes
[08:20] <resting> llutz: ic..ok…will look that up..thanks
[08:21] <llutz> resting: you should check if you can't use sftp instead of ftp, which would be much saver than ftp with obfuscated ports
[08:21] <foolsh> akhilesh:  I will be right back I'm going to test this xorg.conf file on my system first and then tell you how use it, if it works.
[08:22] <zykotic10> llutz: +1 ftp must die
[08:22] <linusasus6> good night then will try to find a windows 7 disc tommorrow then thank anyway sorry that you not support my-sys, my computer sick I need to reinstall it like I buy it to send it for repair see ya another day near future
[08:22] <repozitor> hi
[08:22] <repozitor> where is the synaptic pakage manager?
[08:22] <zykotic10> repozitor: install it
[08:22] <repozitor> i search it on dash home, but coudln't find it
[08:22] <resting> llutz: yes i can use sftp…oo…so i could change ssh port and its effectively changing both ports?
[08:23] <repozitor> couldn't*
[08:23] <akhilesh> foolsh:ok
[08:23] <fidel_> repozitor: afaik its no longer installed by default
[08:23] <erik4levels> Hi all, I can't run the installer nor the live cd from usb stick on my Lenovo w520
[08:23] <fidel_> repozitor: why couldnt you install it?
[08:23] <WrigleyPete> repozitor: synaptic is not installed by default anymore, you need to install it via ubuntu software center
[08:23] <llutz> repozitor: "both ports"? ssh/sftp has nothing to do with ftp, except parts of the name
[08:23] <llutz> resting: ^^
[08:23] <llutz> sry repozitor wrong nic
[08:23] <repozitor> fidel_: i think 12.04 by defualt should have it, no need to install
[08:23] <erik4levels> Is there a way to run the installer from within gnome?
[08:24] <fidel_> repozitor: its pretty simple to test isnt it?
[08:24] <ljsoftnet> how do i use jstest-gtk?
[08:24] <WrigleyPete> erik4levels: what do you mean by cannot install?
[08:24] <resting> llutz: i read that sftp is basically ftp over ssh..
[08:24] <fidel_> launch it from cli - if you end up with: command not found - its most likely not installed. if so - install it
[08:24] <erik4levels> It starts (I can select language etc) and then just turns blank
[08:24] <fidel_> or use apt to check if its installed or ....
[08:24] <zykotic10> repozitor: synaptic was removed in 11.10 wasn't it?
[08:24] <llutz> resting: yes, it uses ssh and also the ssh-port
[08:24] <repozitor> llutz: 10.10 have by default, i think, yes?
[08:25] <erik4levels> It's an optimus nvidia laptop but I disabled all optimus stuff in the bios
[08:25] <repozitor> zykotic10: sure
[08:25] <erik4levels> I've been reading a lot about it, trying with acpi disabled etc
[08:25] <erik4levels> I'd rather not use the i386 version
[08:26] <fidel_> erik4levels: i had to use acpi=noirq with my dell xps15z with optimus to be able to isntall ubuntu. maybe that worth a try
[08:26] <repozitor> where i can find my system application, such ax proxy manager, system monitor ....
[08:26] <repozitor> ?
[08:26] <erik4levels> let's try, thanks for the tip!
[08:26] <repozitor> as*
[08:28] <repozitor> fidel_: ^^ :D ?
[08:28] <fidel_> repozitor: please try to use normal language and somehow full sentences. i dont know what the above should tell me
[08:29] <fidel_> its "chat-rubbish" which might confuse and doesnt contain any relevant info ;)
[08:29] <repozitor> fidel_:ok, i mean that in 10.10 i open my system application from menu bar, but 12.04 dosn't have this property
[08:30] <fidel_> repozitor: and whats the question now?
[08:30] <repozitor> how to open them in 12.04? :D
[08:31] <repozitor> i search in dash home, but couldn't find them
[08:32] <MaxFrames> hello
[08:32] <fidel_> repozitor: its up to you - launch them by terminal - launch them by alt+f2 - by a special launcher (i.e. Kupfer which is my personal choice)
[08:33] <fidel_> repozitor: that depends on the user & the desktop-environment -> so it might differ what you prefer based on the fact if you are using unity, gnome-shell or whatewver else
[08:33] <fidel_> consider kupfer - its a pretty good launcher (bot not installed by default either)
[08:34] <K-4U> Hello eveybody. Can somebody help me with a 256 color problem in screen? I already put the config values in my .screenrc, but still no 256 colors :(
[08:34] <foolsh> akhilesh: Ok you need to put this    http://paste.ubuntu.com/966431/     into the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X. please note customising the xorg.conf to accommodate a system I have no physical contact with is messing with dark powers. So the xorg.conf file I provide is minimal and should get you to 1024x768@75hz which is fairly common. If when you try this fix you do not get to the desktop or your monitor makes funny noises tur
[08:34] <foolsh> n off your computer start it in safe mode and remove the xorg.conf file.
[08:34] <repozitor> fidel_: when i use alt+F2  dash home appear for me :((
[08:35] <repozitor> i hate unity :|
[08:35] <fidel_> repozitor: i cant help you with unity - as i dont use it.
[08:35] <jrp> is there an easy way to specify on the command line what apt-repo i want to install from?
[08:35] <fidel_> repozitor: then dont use it
[08:35] <repozitor> just gnome-shell :X
[08:35] <akhilesh> foolsh:thanks dude!!! great help..
[08:35] <repozitor> fidel_:do you use gnome-shell?
[08:36] <zykotic10> K-4U: probably depends more on the terminal you are using, but does screen actually support 256 colours?
[08:36] <fidel_> repozitor: yep i do use gnome-shell & kupfer as launcher
[08:36] <K-4U> zykotic10: I´m using putty now.. I´ve got it working if i don´t use a screen session, but with screen, it´s a no-go
[08:36] <zamba> i have a small problem with gnome classic.. all new applications/windows are automatically moved to viewport 1 when i move past the viewport they're currently in
[08:37] <zamba> oh, nevermind.. this only goes for thunderbird and chromium
[08:37] <foolsh> akhilesh: after you get up to usable resolution you really need to find the real values for HorizSync and VertRefresh that are for your monitor usaully you can google the model number and find them.
[08:37] <AxonetBE> I have a webserver running on Ubuntu 9.10, is it easy to update to a newer version of ubuntu without breaking to much things?
[08:37] <fidel_> AxonetBE: do run a backup first - as noone can garanty you that there will be no issues
[08:38] <K-4U> zykotic10: Here´s the issue.. i´m on a train now, using tethered internet to connect to my server at home.. The connection isn´t that good, so i need it to keep my working shell open at all time, even if i disconnect
[08:38] <akhilesh> foolsh: okkkkkkkk
[08:38] <repozitor> fidel_: what is suitable for progammer?
[08:38] <AxonetBE> fidel_: Ok and how do I update then?
[08:38] <Qalqi> hello
[08:39] <fidel_> repozitor: i dont get your question - maybe ask the channel not just me
[08:40] <Qalqi> i started using ubuntu classic since gnome 3 was having problems with my amd card. Does anyone want to know if this issue is resolved
[08:40] <repozitor> fidel_:ok, tnx for replying :)
[08:41] <zamba> how can i remove the animation when switching desktop?
[08:41] <Qalqi> oops. my question was i wanted to know if this isssue was resolved?
[08:42] <K-4U> zykotic10: Sorry.. did you say something in the past 5 minutes? My internet went out..
[08:43] <akhilesh> foolsh:can i get agin high resolution? my laptop give 1280*800 resolution in windows 7...
[08:44] <akhilesh> foolsh: sorry it's again instead of agin.
[08:45] <DamienCassou> 6 months ago I connected to this chat and complained about unity. Later I just installed Cinnamon. Today I connect to congratulate. Unity works *much* better and I'm an happy user now. Thank you so much
[08:46] <howlymowly_> hi poeple..  short question: Does anyone here know, whether gimp 2.8. will be included in the ubuntu repositories? and if so, how long will it take?
[08:47] <DarwinSurvivor> akhilesh: sorry, got here late, but have you checked the back of the monitor for the values foolsh is asking for? Many monitors have a sticker on the back with all the specs
[08:47] <xuserx> can anyone help me ? i want to use ubuntu customization kit to remaster a xubuntu12.04 .iso but i have the same error >>>>Failed to copy resolv.conf, error=1
[08:47] <ljsoftnet> where can i get jscalibrator for ubuntu 12.04?
[08:49] <DamienCassou> howlymowly_: I don't think this is a standard procedure at ubuntu to publish packages for new releases. We have seen exceptions, but you'd better use a PPA
[08:49] <xuserx> his is the build.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/966443/
[08:49] <xuserx> can you help me?

[08:54] <dr_willis> other browsers work?
[08:54] <zamba> where has the sound preferences applet gone to in gnome shell/classic?
[08:54] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, yes, firefox works.
[08:55] <rile_bre> any one ...magic jack an ubuntu ...maybe ...some trick to us it ..( maibe wine ) or such ?????
[08:55] <ljsoftnet> where can i get jscalibrator for ubuntu 12.04?
[08:55] <dr_willis> rile_bre:  last i heard about that was basivally a big 'nope..' from the wine devs.. but thaat was a year+ ago. check the appdb
[08:55] <dr_willis> !find jscal
[08:56] <rile_bre> ty dr_willis
[08:56] <dr_willis> i was thinking jscal - calebrted my sticks ages ago
[08:56] <dr_willis> pvh_sa:  as a test you could change the useragent to be the same as what firefox uses
[08:57] <mystblade9> How do I create a custom launcher?
[08:57] <dr_willis> mystblade9:  make a custome .desktop file for it - is one way.
[08:57] <dr_willis> examples and guides on them at the askubuntu.com site i recall. or look at ones on your system,
[08:57] <mystblade9> Isn't there any GUI for it?
[08:58] <dr_willis> never really noticed.. or needed one.
[08:59] <dr_willis> i normally take gedit.desktop and just copy andd edit it
[08:59] <necruse> hello can someone help on dovecot
[08:59] <x_XP> -
[08:59] <x_XP> I need some help with upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04. Could  someone please help to guide me trough this, since on my own I am running to some serious problems.
[09:00] <dr_willis> i find it easier to do clean installs
[09:00] <ljsoftnet> where can i get jscalibrator for ubuntu 12.04?
[09:01] <dr_willis> wouldent you have to upgrade to 11.10 then too 12.04
[09:01] <dr_willis> !find jscalibrator
[09:01] <dr_willis> ljsoftnet:  try jscal perhaps
[09:01] <x_XP> let me explain my problems are I backup my home folder copying files to the external USB HDD and After upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10  on DELL E6400 laptop I could not login with my user-name and my password all I could do login as a Guest . Then I upgraded  this  to 12.04.  I was able to pass the login screen only after removing  the .Xauthority file in my home directory and after reboot I was not able to access any of my files and deskto
[09:02] <dr_willis> x_XP:  the can only login as guest seems to be a known issue with lightdm, i had same issue. using gdm however worked fine,
[09:02] <ljsoftnet> dr_willis how do i use it, you know the steps on how to use it?
[09:02] <ljsoftnet> dr_willis i've already installed it
[09:02] <dr_willis> ljsoftnet:  start with man jscal  - i havent used a joystick in years
[09:03] <barnabas02> X_XP: download ultimatebootcd, and save your data, then reinstann ubuntu
[09:03] <vexaxv> hey guys what is the "opt" directory for?
[09:03] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, i tried trashing my chromium profile, re-importing firefox settings, same problem. so i tried a second time, deleted chromium profile, did not import firefox - works fine.... so its got to do with something that gets imported i think
[09:03] <foolsh> vexaxv: optional software
[09:03] <dr_willis> vexaxv:  optional software, stuff often compiled  on the system. not using the apt0get packages
[09:03] <vexaxv> so is it an ideal place to put source games?
[09:04] <dr_willis> vexaxv:  for a single user - you could just keep them in your HOME.
[09:04] <necruse> quit
[09:04] <vexaxv> k thanks
[09:09] <x_XP> barnabas02:  i do have backup done of home folder by copying it to USB HDD  of my 11.04 then i upgraded it to 11.10 and 12.04 what i wanted to achieve was to be able do backup of 12.04 and then transfer it to ne installed 12.04 on SSD and restore data t
[09:10] <barnabas02> X_XP: Ső, you would like to do another backup? Or you are ready to reinstall the system.
[09:13] <dr_willis> id just restore my home. :)
[09:13] <x_XP> barnabas02:  i do have  bodger upgrade to 12.04 on HHD and new instalation of 12.04 on SSD with copied home folder from USB HDD backup but id didnt work as i expected i was hoping to do everything on old HDD then backup data and restore to SSD
[09:14] <dr_willis> but put the files in a subdir. if yiur old settings are causeing issues.
[09:15] <barnabas02> X_XP: Putting files in abother folder, or renaming the most upper directory is a good idea.
[09:16] <barnabas02> Then boot from ssd, and copy the files back.
[09:17] <x_XP> barnabas02:   will this  give me my previously installed programs back??
[09:17] <dr_willis> no it will not. the users data is more impoirntant then installed apps
[09:17] <foolsh> x_XP: oh no no no that's not what the home folder does
[09:19] <dr_willis> if you still have your 12.04 install with  the deb files cached in /var/apt/cache (i think) you could back them up and use them to  reinstall/save download bandwith
[09:19] <dr_willis>  or is it /var/cache/apt
[09:19] <x_XP> foolish: so why bother to upgrade if you cannot get enything to work other then Thunderbitd and firefox ?>
[09:20] <foolsh> Isn't there a way to save the state of apt to file and restore with it later
[09:20] <resting> i'd added a rule to iptables…do i have to 'restart' it?
[09:21] <x_XP> foolish: if it is i do not know how
[09:22] <foolsh> x_XP: thats why i'm with dr_willis reinstall every time, would be done by now.
[09:22] <vexaxv> does anyone in here make there own unity shortcuts with the .desktop files?
[09:23] <xuserx> hi
[09:23] <resting> ok i'd flushed iptables and ftp works on port 2122
[09:24] <resting> but putting the rules back it fails
[09:24] <resting> i have the rule as ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:2122

[09:25] <intore> hi, i installed ubuntu 11.10 but there are some big problems. Sometimes it logout itself and shows the login screen.
[09:26] <dr_willis> intore:  more likely the Desktop is crashing.. goingback to the login screen when X restarts.
[09:26] <dr_willis> not logging out
[09:26] <x_XP> foolish: reinstall ubuntu    ok with me       but  then to reinstall all your applications  this is to hard for me to comprehend why to do this every 6 months with new Ubuntu?
[09:26] <xuserx> can you help me?
[09:27] <dr_willis> keep an eye on that bug report to see when the bug gets fixed. or if the comments in it -  mention a work around.
[09:27] <jarco> is there a stream of the ubuntu summit next week?
[09:27] <foolsh> xuserx: Hmm I'm not really sure but the /etc/resolv.conf file is a trivial little thing. If you're having trouble with it make sure it exists, if not just create a blank one and try your process again

[09:30] <DarwinSurvivor> jarco: http://video.ubuntu.com/live/
[09:30] <xuserx> ok
[09:30] <jarco> yeah thx DarwinSurvivor
[09:30] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: that depends what the .bin file *did*
[09:30] <jarco> Its just to see what EA has to say.
[09:30] <REK_007> how to install Avast on ubuntu AMD64 ?
[09:30] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: do you have a link to it?
[09:30] <akem> iHarp, the bin might have an uninstall parameter.
[09:30] <xuserx> etc/resolv.conf does not exist
[09:31] <DarwinSurvivor> !antivirus | jarco
[09:31] <dr_willis> intore:  its not 'logging out' its crashing. so you need  to determine why its crashing.
[09:31] <akem> try -h/--help etc.
[09:31] <foolsh> xuserx: 'sudo touch /etc/resolve.conf'
[09:31] <iHarp> it opened an installer. which installed. It left an uninstaller. But now when I try to run them nothing happens
[09:31] <iHarp> It opens ubuntu software center
[09:31] <jarco> DarwinSurvivor: hey. that wasnt for me :)
[09:32] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: please post a link. .bin files are like .exe files in windows and it is 100% impossible to know what they did without inspecting it
[09:32] <iHarp> very strange
[09:32] <intore> dr_willis, in syslog?
[09:32] <DarwinSurvivor> gah, autocomplete is failing me today :(
[09:32] <iHarp> Well before I post let me clarify.
[09:32] <DarwinSurvivor> !antivirus | REK_007
[09:32] <foolsh> xuserx: or sudo touch /path/to/etc/resolve.conf
[09:32] <dr_willis> intore:  could be, its hard to tell
[09:33] <x_XP> foolish:  I was happy with 11.04 but Ubuntu was spamming me with messages to upgrade and i did cave in  what is the best way to do it start again from beginning ubuntu and applications  or is there any backup which preserve applications and data
[09:33] <REK_007> DarwinSurvivor: yeah well I know that .. I need to scan another PC's HDD using ubuntu
[09:34] <xuserx> /etc/resolv.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/966539/
[09:35] <intore> dr_willis, i found this line May  4 11:21:57 dello gnome-session[1390]: Gdk-WARNING: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.#012
[09:35] <iHarp> Ive only recently had this issue. In the past (this week) the .bin file opened the game and I played it seamlessly.  I turned my computer on today and tried to play the game but when I try to open it I get sent to ubuntu software center. Clicking on the uninstall shorty does nothing. USC doesn't prompt me to download anything either.
[09:35] <iHarp> sorry for the big post
[09:35] <foolsh> x_XP: You can turn off the upgrade option is config file some where its what I do for the system I sell because it makes my job easier
[09:35] <DarwinSurvivor> REK_007: avast appears to support 32 bit only on linux (according to their website). You could try another scanner such as ClamAV, or run Avast off of a 32-bit live-cd (32bit ubuntu will run fine on 64bit hardware)
[09:36] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: .bin files are notorious for bypassing the package manager and messing up system files. If you ran the .bin as root (by using sudo) then it will may be *very* difficult to undo. If you ran it as a normal user, it may not be that hard
[09:37] <REK_007> well i guess I will have to do that .. i dont have a 32bit now..have a 64bit installed so wanted to know if a way was there to install 32bit one on 64bit.  anyway thanks for the help DarwinSurvivor
[09:37] <x_XP> foolish:  thanks 4 your help but this doesnt help me i done upgrade and i am where i am now not better off
[09:37] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: but once again, we won't be able to help you at all unless you tell us what it was!
[09:37] <enzotib> hi, i'm using 12.04 with LXDE. When I want to open a .tex file with texmaker in pcmanfm, texmaker starts with a blank document
[09:37] <DarwinSurvivor> REK_007: if you have a 32bit install CD you could boot off of it, or you could use a virtual machine (like VirtualBox) and scan using that
[09:38] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: please pastebin the .tex file
[09:39] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, it do not depend on the tex file, every tex file I try to open from filemanager, is not passed to texmaker
[09:39] <iHarp> root :(
[09:39] <iHarp> any suggestions?
[09:39] <iHarp> It's really not a big deal for me to just reinstall ubuntu. all the important stuff is backed up.
[09:39] <DarwinSurvivor> REK_007: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=781251 may help you
[09:39] <iHarp> ok
[09:39] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: have you tried using the "open" dialog in texmaker? That will rule out quite a bit of stuff
[09:39] <foolsh> x_XP: for me a fresh new install of ubuntu is like the new car smell at the dealership, new, fast, and ready to take me places.
[09:39] <xuserx> i have the same error>>..Failed to copy resolv.conf, error=1
[09:40] <xuserx> any ideas?
[09:40] <xuserx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/966443/
[09:40] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: reinstalling is probably the best bet. There is some stuff you can do using chroot's to find out what the .bin *probably* did, but you can never really be certain
[09:40] <foolsh> 'rm -rf /home/xman/tmp/remaster-root/etc/resolv.conf' maybe and try again
[09:41] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, from texmaker (open dialog) it works, and also works from terminal: texmaker file.tex
[09:41] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, it is a filemanager->application interaction problem, I think
[09:41] <iHarp> http://www.newerth.com/?id=downloads&op=displayDownload&category=1&file=xr_setup-1.0rc3-cl_lin_prod.bin is the link to the download page. It's the game savage
[09:41] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: I would also *HIGHLY* recommend NEVER using .bin installers EVER. I think quake3 is the only .bin I've ever seen that didn't completely destroy system it was installed on.
[09:42] <iHarp> So how else would I get a game like this on my system if it only comes in a bin file?
[09:42] <x_XP> foolish:  for me I am on the  limited data mobile broadband only and my options are liited to what i can  download each month, it could take me few months to get my application back and running again
[09:43] <x_XP> that why i did upgrade
[09:43] <x_XP> foolish:  for me I am on the  limited data mobile broadband only and my options are liited to what i can  download each month, it could take me few months to get my application back and running again
[09:45] <bogdomania> hi guys.. please don't kill me if i'm asking this Q in the wrong place.. how can i use ubuntu family fonts in LaTeX ? using LaTeXila atm..
[09:45] <iHarp> i can't believe you asked that in here....
[09:45] <iHarp> just kidding :p
[09:45] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: http://www.newerth.com/smf/index.php?topic=13970.0 "someone" made a .deb, but I would contact newerth and ask then to submit their game to the regular repos or at the very least create an official PPA for the game
[09:46] <taxman> because he is too old
[09:46]  * taxman runs away...
[09:47] <iHarp> DarwinSurvivor: cool, thanks
[09:47] <iHarp> reinstalling
[09:47] <iHarp> Linux = Dangerous freedom
[09:47] <iHarp> lol
[09:47] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: I'm going from memory here (been a couple months since I used thunar), but you should be able to use a custom command to open a file from the file browser. Try using that and manually selecting the texmaker binary as the application you wish to use. That will tell us if the setting is simply wrong, or something else isn't working
[09:48] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, ok, i could try
[09:48] <dr_willis> i really have to wonder what all you installed x_XP  i mean 12.04 just only recently got released.
[09:48] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: type "which texmaker" into the terminal to find out where the binary is
[09:48] <xuserx> i cant fix that error
[09:48] <iHarp> With linux I have complete freedom to destroy my machine anytime I want.. Screw you microsoft..lol
[09:48] <murlidhar> http://pastebin.com/XzwHh9t4 ... i am not able to update the repository .. how can it be fixed ?
[09:49] <yabanize> Hey, i just installed ubuntu alongside windows using the live cd, but when i rebooted, windows booted instead and i didnt even see grub, how do i fix this"?
[09:49] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[09:49] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: If you like to mess around with ubuntu but want to keep your machine working, consider creating a VirtualBox image to play around with. VirtualBox allows you to take a "snapshop" of the guest system and then revert to it in SECONDS if you screw it up :D
[09:49] <x_XP> dr_willis: I was talking about running  applications i hat in 11.04
[09:49] <dr_willis> yabanize:  you have more then 1 hd:
[09:49] <mrec> is there any way to fix the tap sensitivity with ubuntu 12.04? the default settings are unusable and very annoying
[09:50] <mrec> touchpad - tap sensitivity
[09:50] <dr_willis> x_XP:  any upgrade will download the apps anyway. so you did not save much bandwith,
[09:50] <mrec> synclient settings did not really fix the problem
[09:50] <iHarp> DarwinSurvivor: Ive had to reinstall a few times.. sounds like the better choice.
[09:51] <yabanize> No, i have 1 hd, but 6 partitions according to windows disk manager
[09:51] <x_XP> dr_willis:  thats  right i do have only few Mb left for the rest of this month
[09:51] <dr_willis> x_XP:  if bandwith is that critical - you may want to setup a 12.04 box ti work as an 'apt-cacher-ng' server to cach all the debs you download. that way they get ddownloaded once then every pc on the lan can get them from the cache
[09:51] <yabanize> dr_willis
[09:51] <yabanize> No, i have 1 hd, but 6 partitions according to windows disk manager
[09:51] <dr_willis> I just hit up the Free WiFi spots around time. :)
[09:51] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: I keep my main install fairly simple and well tuned and clone/create virtual machines when I want to play around with new stuff
[09:52] <dr_willis> yabanize:  so grub did not get instgalled to the wrong hard drive
[09:52] <dr_willis> yabanize:  id say follow that !fixgrub factoid and reinstall/repair grub.
[09:52] <yabanize> It is ONE hard drive, multiple partitions, as ubuntu made some
[09:52] <yabanize> I think its installed correct but how to i tell it to boot to grub instead of windows bootloader
[09:53] <DarwinSurvivor> hanthana_: one of the common mistakes is installing the bootloader to a partition instead of the drives MBR.
[09:53] <foolsh> 	
[09:53] <foolsh> yabanize: sounds like you need to set the boot flag for the partition where ubuntu installed to you can use a boot-able cd such the UBCD to do this.
[09:53] <iHarp> DarwinSurvivor: Experience is the best method of learning.. I think i have learned a valuable lesson (again) tonight
[09:53] <yabanize> I used the 'install along side windows' option, didnt change anything
[09:53] <dr_willis> i dident think grub neeeded the boot flag. and if grub is on the mbr of the only hd.. then it should be booting grub anyway
[09:53] <hanthana_> DarwinSurvivor, :)
[09:53] <iHarp> see you guys later.. about to nuke my drive again
[09:53] <Aruzsi> Hi,
[09:54] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: lesson #1 of Linux: Never use .bin installers :D
[09:54] <iHarp> lol
[09:54] <yabanize> Here are my partitions, see the bootable one is c: http://d.pr/i/FI5A
[09:54] <DarwinSurvivor> I had the ATI .bin driver installer hose my machine 3 times in a row before I learned that lesson :(
[09:54] <iHarp>  /bow
[09:54] <dr_willis> .bin = such a vague and annoying extension
[09:55] <iHarp> ,bin = evil?
[09:55] <xuserx> does it exists a irc channel for ubuntu customization kit?
[09:55] <x_XP> dr_willis:  how come that with upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and then from 11.10 to 12.04 only firefox and thunderbird got carried on ? nothing else .
[09:55] <Aruzsi> How can I "clone" an Ubuntu 12.04 to some other machines? I think about different UUID, MAC etc.
[09:55] <dr_willis>   .bin (self installing exeutables) are very annoying
[09:55] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  ive done it with dd befor, ;)
[09:55] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: absoluetly. If the author was too lazy to not create either a .deb or a compilable source .zip/.tar.gz then they were probably too lazy to make a .bin that can be trusted
[09:55] <dr_willis> x_XP:  i never upgrade. i always do clean installs.
[09:55] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: Yes, some years ago ...
[09:56] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: Now it doesn't work: Grub2, fstab, udev, etc ...
[09:56] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  hmm i did it via dd with 11.04 and it worked
[09:56] <foolsh> I would still try setting the boot flag for the 140.97 partition before I did any thing else. I've seen grub get put in strange place by the installer before.
[09:57] <dr_willis> but i did an exact image from a usb to  a single hd system
[09:57] <x_XP> dr_willis: thanks for that i will remember your anwser for long time now
[09:57] <Hyperbyte> Aruzsi, I believe you can just configure fstab to recognise a partition by label rather than uuid.
[09:57] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: I tried to using rsync. I mentioned the problematic parts ...
[09:57] <yabanize> How do i put a boot flag on there?
[09:57] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: 2 easiest ways are to either "dd" clone the entire drive (make sure drive #2 is at least as big as drive #1) or copy the system over as normal and reinstall grub
[09:57] <dr_willis> i never used rsync Aruzsi , i just did a simple install to a 8gb flash. then cloned it via dd to a few other flash drives. then a internal sata once.
[09:57] <foolsh> yabanize: you'll need a third party program
[09:58] <Hyperbyte> Which gimp version is included with 12.04?
[09:58] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: Wat about MAC or anything else?
[09:58] <yabanize> ultimatebootcd ?
[09:58] <dr_willis> !info gimp
[09:58] <foolsh> yabanize: I use the gparted live cd
[09:58] <DarwinSurvivor> hanthana_: sorry, autocomplete fail AGAIN :(
[09:58] <Aruzsi> I've got a 16GB SSD and the target drive is 32GB
[09:58] <Hyperbyte> dr_willis, ah.  Thanks. :)
[09:58] <hanthana_> DarwinSurvivor, nop
[09:58] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  in that case. i would do the dd. then use gparted to resize the partions
[09:58] <Aruzsi> So I don't want to lose the +16GB with dd
[09:58] <yabanize> how about gparted on an ubuntu live cd?
[09:58] <murlidhar> any can help me fix the problem of updating the repository. i am not able to update the repos ...
[09:59] <yabanize> or live usb i should say, gparted
[09:59] <dejan_> hi to all...
[09:59] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: MAC as in Macintosh or network card identifier?
[09:59] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  or make a 2nd partition in the new space
[09:59]  * nikolja Dobar dan o
[09:59] <foolsh> yabanize: sure you can right click and set flags
[09:59] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: Not too bad idea! But UUID, etc ...
[09:59] <murlidhar> http://pastebin.com/XzwHh9t4 the pastebin of my apt-get install .
[09:59] <yabanize> great :D iloveyou
[09:59] <murlidhar> update*
[09:59] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  i dont recall uuid being an issue..
[09:59] <yabanize> brb while i do this
[09:59] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: MAC address
[09:59] <dr_willis> ffstab is easy to edit anyway
[09:59] <dr_willis> i dont recall any other issues doing the dd clone image.
[10:00] <foolsh> at least wait till it works then love me
[10:00] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: I have to copy the system to about 30 machines.
[10:00] <dr_willis> set your uuids to like 000-000-000  ;) so its easy to change them
[10:00] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: hmmm....
[10:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: MAC addresses are stored in the network hardware itself, when linux boots up it re-checks it anyways (if it even bothers to care what it is).
[10:00] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  you may want to check out mondo/mindi - it can setup a netboot enviroment where you 'restore' from  images on the network
[10:01] <foolsh> Aruzsi:  or drbl does the same thing
[10:01] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: did you do an upgrade or a full install for 12.04?
[10:01] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: no i did a fresh installation.
[10:01] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: and what about LAN card (NIC id?)
[10:01] <dejan_> Looking for someone that can give me sugestions - i instaled Ubuntu on my HP pavilion dv7 notebook and i have terible overheating problems... is there any way to fix that overheating isue without loosing my laptop performance? if not, can someone teach me how to format Ubuntu, clear all, and go back to win7... ty
[10:01] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: ok
[10:02] <taxman> i have upgraded my 12.04 to the last
[10:02] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  networks are normally set to dhcp. so why would that be an issue
[10:02] <vanlong441> Have you ever seen GNOME Shell integrated perfectly into Unity 2D on Ubuntu 12.04 (with HUD and Unity Dash and everything else work as they should)? Wait no more, the how-to is here! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970904
[10:03] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, it works with /usr/bin/texmaker %F
[10:03] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: don't worry about the MAC addresses. Linux reads the code directly from the hardware at boot time and doesn't even store in on the HDD
[10:03] <dr_willis> vanlong441:  that sounds nasty ;)
[10:03] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: I don't know.
[10:04] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: ok, then thunar probably has texmaker's binary configured wrong in the settings. File a bug report against texmaker and tell them that it's not being set properly in thunar's "available applications" list
[10:04] <dejan_> Looking for someone that can give me sugestions - i instaled Ubuntu on my HP pavilion dv7 notebook and i have terible overheating problems... is there any way to fix that overheating isue without loosing my laptop performance? if not, can someone teach me how to format Ubuntu, clear all, and go back to win7... ty
[10:04] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: can the problem be fixed ? i don't even know why it happened ?
[10:04] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  so the answer is -  its not an issue. ;)
[10:04] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, it's not thunar, though, it's pcmanfm
[10:05] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: happened so suddenly. been using the new distro for the past one week without any problems.
[10:05] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: sorry, either way you should file a bug report (but against pcmanfm :P )
[10:05] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: looking of the log still
[10:05] <murlidhar> ok
[10:05] <murlidhar> thanks
[10:06] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: NIC will be identified.
[10:06] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: I think
[10:07] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: can you go into "software sources" and change your default server? That will tell us if it's your computer (which we can fix) or the server itself (in which case we just leave it changed)
[10:07] <Naemdar> having ethernet port issues.  its auto selecting 1000 full and I am not sure how to set it to just go 100 full
[10:07] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: will try. one second
[10:07] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: why do you want to slow down your ethernet?
[10:07] <foolsh> Naemdar: is that an issue?
[10:08] <HowDoI> My Internet went out right as I asked about crashes on Intel Ivy Bridge graphics, did it post?
[10:08] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: well the main server is working fine it seems ....it is updating without giving any errors so far.
[10:08] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: i was using india server earlier ...seems like its a server problem.
[10:08] <dejan_> can someone tell me how to delete ubuntu 12.04 and go to win 7? how change HD to NTFS and make boot from dvd - win 7... PLS
[10:09] <dr_willis> dejan_:  #windows will tell you how to install windows.
[10:09] <dr_willis> dejan_:  use fdisk, or gparted, or a live cd to delete all the partions on the hd you want to use. remake a ntfs partion.
[10:09] <dr_willis> actually the windows installer i think can do that...
[10:10] <Naemdar> I did the ethtool thing as a website suggested but for some reason I can't enter the commands like it says
[10:10] <dejan_> ok ty for tips... will google those....
[10:10] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: must be. If you have any contact info for them (try visiting their website) you might want to just let them know you were having issues, that way they can get it fixed :)
[10:10] <captine> hi all.  is anyone having stability issues with Skype.  running 2.2beta in ubuntu 12.04 and from time to time, my entire system locks up when starting skype.  have to hold the power button in and do a hard reboot
[10:10] <murlidhar> ok
[10:10] <ruman> hi everyone
[10:10] <Naemdar> I just don't think the cable can support those speeds cleanly it keeps dropping
[10:11] <Naemdar> I know the cable will run clean though at 100
[10:11] <murlidhar> will try to find out how to contact the server .
[10:11] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: please explain WHY you are trying to change the settings and also post a link to the page you are following so we can make sure it's correct
[10:12] <foolsh> captine: I always test the RAM when I get system lockup's 9 times outta 10 thats the culprit.
[10:12] <Naemdar> The port is dropping connection if I try to do more than one or 2 things at once
[10:12] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: if the cable is not allowing the full bandwidth speed, the kernel will automatically reduce the bandwidth to a stable speed
[10:12] <yabanize> hey um its me again im in gparted now and i added the boot flag to the partition and it didnt do anything
[10:13] <yabanize> i mean when it booted it was the bios saying insert device or something
[10:13] <foolsh> yabanize: dang reinstall grub my friend
[10:13] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: please post the output that is indicating the "port" is dropping as there is probably something else going wrong
[10:13] <yabanize> so how do i do thaat
[10:13] <DarwinSurvivor> !fixgrub | yabanize
[10:14] <DarwinSurvivor> just follow the RestoreGrub instructions
[10:14] <foolsh> yabanize: or do you mean it your in gparted right now and adding the flag did nothing?
[10:14] <foolsh> yabanize: in that case click apply and reboot
[10:14] <yabanize> It didnt do nothing it just wouldnt boot at all, like the bios saying it cant
[10:14] <add1ctus> anyone could help me with : https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/195847 ?
[10:14] <foolsh> yabanize: yup reinstall grub
[10:14] <HowDoI> Brand new Ubuntu install has periodic hard lockups with Ivy Bridge Intel i5-3570 using the built-in HD4000 graphics.  I can't find anything in bug reports or known issues.  Am I missing something, new chipsets untested with Intel drivers, or could my hardware be malfunctioning?
[10:14] <Naemdar> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html
[10:15] <yabanize> windows was installed before ubuntu
[10:15] <foolsh> yabanize: that's how it's done most of the time
[10:15] <yabanize> Great, wow that boot-repair looks pretty great
[10:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: are you only using that page for troubleshooting, or is that how you are setting up your connections?
[10:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: basically, why are you not simply using NetworkManager?
[10:16] <Naemdar> I can't find the duples and speed settings for some reason
[10:17] <yabanize> You people are so helpful:)
[10:17] <ace> hi there, i have a cron fragment file in /etc/cron.d but it doesn't seems to be called
[10:17] <billybigr> yabanize cross your fingers, it's failed me a few times, but saved me once or twice :)
[10:17] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: also, what is your network configuration? Is the machine simply connected to a router that connects to an internet modem?
[10:17] <yabanize> thanks to you all
[10:17] <Naemdar> yea, a simple network
[10:17] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: what happens when you simply use network manager?
[10:17] <Naemdar> No duples or speed settings, just mac and mtu
[10:17] <Naemdar> duplex rather
[10:18] <DarwinSurvivor> huh?
[10:18] <yabanize> will boot-repair choose the right partition to be bootable too?
[10:19] <yabanize> should i tick restore mbr?
[10:19] <Naemdar> ipv4 settings tab doesn't have duples or speed either
[10:19]  * taxman giggles
[10:19] <thoong> hi
[10:21] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: you should not have to mess with duplex or network speed unless you are doing VERY, VERY advanced custom routing (I'm talking university experiments here)
[10:21] <raph_ael> hi, how can i change the theme without unity ? (ie  have another color theme for epiphany and others) thanks
[10:21] <thoong> why is ubuntu still encouraging people to use 32 bit , arent we all progressing to 64 ?
[10:21] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: if your network is flaky, there is a REASON and that needs to be fixed
[10:22] <nastas> a little help please. When i do a normal boot after the login screen, my desktop is flickering and anything i click turns to black. When i boot in ubuntu safe mode, everything seems ok. any ideas?
[10:22] <DarwinSurvivor> thoong: because Skype and a few games don't have native 32 bit compilations, so you need to install a bunch of extra libraries to use them on 64 bit systems.
[10:23] <thoong> but in ubuntu you dont have to hunt individual libraries like fedora, you have ia32 lib bundle?
[10:23] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: please pastebin the output of "dmesg" as that will contain any hardware problems ubuntu is encountering. If you suspect the ethernet cable is bad, REPLACE it, they are quite cheap and a bad cable will only get worse!
[10:24] <pvh_sa> where should i put a .desktop file for a new application i have installed? ~/.local/share/applications ?
[10:24] <zz_paddy> hi everytime i install a different version of unbuntu i keep getting either an error or it is corrupt any way i can fix this ?
[10:25] <gaelfx> zz_paddy: check the md5 of the downloaded iso
[10:25] <gaelfx> !md5 | zz_paddy
[10:25] <zz_paddy> im using the windows installer
[10:25] <zz_paddy> basically making a dual boot
[10:25] <zz_paddy> so no idea where the file is downloading to lol
[10:26] <DarwinSurvivor> zz_paddy: wubi?
[10:27] <gaelfx> zz_paddy: wubi is notoriously unreliable
[10:27] <add1ctus> I'm having a problem with dual monitors with X Screen. One of my screens is only white with an "x" pointer and is not usable. I think it might be Unity / Compiz / Nautilus making the problem (as I could find out with googling). Any fixes?
[10:27] <Aruzsi> Is there a Grub2+fstab expert?
[10:27] <Naemdar> I know cable is cheap just didn't really have an issue with it until I got the new mobo and such
[10:27] <thewazir> I am having problem in installing updates from package manager
[10:27] <Aruzsi> I want to change from UUID to LABEL ...
[10:28] <thewazir> it says package operation failed
[10:28] <Aruzsi> or even better: to ancient /dev/sd...
[10:28] <raph_ael> how to access unity settings without being in unity ? ie what is the name of the app
[10:28] <zz_paddy> i agree gaelfx but its the only way i can install linux atm computer doesnt hav a cd rom or doesnt read a usb on start up
[10:28] <Guest19994> when i am upgrading  it is showin errors
[10:28] <iceroot> Aruzsi: and why?
[10:28] <add1ctus> raph_ael : tried myunity?
[10:29] <iceroot> Aruzsi: why not using UUID?
[10:29] <Aruzsi> iceroot: because it doesn't work for me now
[10:29] <Aruzsi> iceroot: from the new SSD
[10:29] <thewazir> I am getting this error - dpkg: error processing icaclient (--configure):

[10:30] <DarwinSurvivor> !pastebin | Naemdar

[10:30] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: use the pastebinit command. You'll need to install it first, then just run
[10:30] <elbrinke> Hi Guys, I would like to know how i can compile Ubuntu TV on 12.04
[10:30] <HowDoI> DarwinSurvivor, what would one look for if there is an error in dmesg output? "error..." or something like that?
[10:30] <Aruzsi> iceroot: I want to clone my 16GB SSD to a new 32GB. That's all.
[10:30] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: use the pastebinit command. You'll need to install it first, then just run "dmesg | pastebinit" and it will pastebin the output FOR you :)
[10:31] <Aruzsi> iceroot: and I want to clone to another 30 machines.
[10:31] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: it's hard to tell, someone that isn't used to looking at it would find it difficult to spot the difference between a stern warning and a full error
[10:31] <dns53> elbrinke aren't there instructions on the website?
[10:31] <iceroot> Aruzsi: dd or clonezilla are your friends
[10:31] <DarwinSurvivor> !pastebinit
[10:31] <Aruzsi> iceroot: dd not! 16 ->32GB
[10:31] <DarwinSurvivor> use pastebinit and you'll have a pastebin url in 5 seconds :)
[10:32] <elbrinke> dns53: nope when i try the instructions as on website https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing it does not compile
[10:32] <Aruzsi> iceroot: I've got the rsync-ed 16GB and I want to use it on 32GB
[10:32] <elbrinke> not sure if we are talking about the same website?
[10:32] <iceroot> Aruzsi: resize the partition? or just have a 16gb partition there?
[10:33] <H474r1> Hi all
[10:33] <iceroot> Aruzsi: clone it with dd and resize it with gparted or use clonezilla directly
[10:33] <Aruzsi> iceroot: sda1 -swap sda2 - root
[10:33] <Aruzsi> iceroot: OK resizing what about UUID, grub2, etc hw specific things?
[10:34] <Aruzsi> iceroot: dd won't work because of UUID
[10:34] <Naemdar> I think I have it, there is no domain
[10:34] <add1ctus> I'm having a problem with dual monitors as seperate X Screens. One of my screens is only white with an "x" pointer and is not usable. I think it might be Unity / Compiz / Nautilus making the problem (as I could find out with googling). Any fixes?

[10:35] <Naemdar> its default and ubuntu doesn't like it
[10:35] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: is you are simply trying to connect your computer to a router, you shouldn't even have to open network manager, it should just auto-connect. please be specific about what you are trying to set up!
[10:36] <add1ctus> H474r1: try lubuntu ?
[10:36] <Naemdar> A simple network.  Nothing complicated
[10:36] <H474r1> LUBUNTU?

[10:36] <dj__> can anyone help me , i am geting error while upgradin my ubuntu , this is the error i am getting http://pastebin.com/AkmyWRWM
[10:36] <Aruzsi> iceroot: so how can I change to LABEL from UUID?
[10:37] <add1ctus> H474r1: http://lubuntu.net/
[10:37] <H474r1> thX
[10:37] <Naemdar> It may be fixed I will open up a torrent to see if it dropps the connection
[10:37] <foolsh> add1ctus: You are way out in the deep water. Multi monitor works more intuitively in Xinerama mode rather than seperate X sessions.
[10:37] <dns53> Aruzsi extfs tune i believe
[10:37] <add1ctus> foolsh: tried using xinerama, but it doesn't work at all... (can't even see the login screen)
[10:38] <ludkiller> hey i need help on programming?
[10:38] <foolsh> add1ctus: The white screen and X are there because nothing is running to serve up a desktop envorinment
[10:38] <Aruzsi> dns53: partitions are already named
[10:38] <Aruzsi> dns53: grub2 config, fstab?
[10:38] <yabanize> Hey help please? trying to install grub,  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda,,,,           and it returns /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[10:38] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: what model of router are you using? If it's dropping while torrenting, it may be a problem with your router
[10:39] <dj__> http://pastebin.com/AkmyWRWM can anyone check this error which am getting while upgrading an tell me what shalli do
[10:39] <add1ctus> foolsh: so it's hard to get it work on x screen and i should try xinerama?
[10:39] <dns53> Aruzsi i missed some of the conversation, so you have an existing installation on a disk and you want to move it to a new bigger drive?
[10:39] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: some older routers don't have large enough stacks to deal with the number of connections a torrent application uses, so you may need to adjust the "maximum connections" limit on your torrenting app
[10:39] <Aruzsi> dns53: Yessss!!!
[10:39] <Aruzsi> dns53: It is a very, very simple task - was some years ago ...
[10:40] <alice_bc> do you  know  how manage an iphone 4s in ubuntu?
[10:40] <foolsh> add1ctus: Become more familiar with the xorg.conf file and I'm sure xinerama can work. it's just what you ask is so advanced I would have to literally be sitting beside you.
[10:40] <dj__> when i upgrade my system i get this error http://pastebin.com/AkmyWRWM  please anyone help me
[10:40] <Aruzsi> dns53: After that I have to reconfigure the machine - hostname, IP, etc ...
[10:41] <nastas> i can only boot in ubuntu safe mode. in normal mode i have screen issues. any idea?
[10:41] <add1ctus> foolsh : i've spent all day yesturday on xorg.conf... and the outcome always was either only one screen working, or nothing working at all.
[10:41] <dns53> Aruzsi so create a partition with the same partition layout, copy the partitions with dd, run the resize command ie run resize2fs, reinstall grub, change /etc/fstab
[10:41] <Aruzsi> dns53: but it will be a new task after the system was booted succesfully
[10:41] <dj__> nastas even i have the same problem
[10:41] <totesmuhgoats> Naemdar: what DarwinSurvivor said, sometimes setting the timeout can also relieve the burden, but there are <100 dollar routers these days that offer a lot of headroom there, might just wanna consider an upgrade
[10:41] <thoong> does the livecd supports lvm?  is cleaner with one partition, esp. limited if you re on mbr.
[10:41] <Aruzsi> dns53: grub: using UUID
[10:41] <add1ctus> foolsh : i'll try to make xinerama work again, if i run into some problems i'll be here
[10:41] <nastas> dj__:  any progress so far?
[10:42] <Aruzsi> dns53: fstab is almost empty (except /proc)
[10:42] <samba35> what ubuntu server irc  #ubuntu_server or ?
[10:42] <totesmuhgoats> i have an asus rt-n16, 400 mhz, 128 mb ram, under $60 last i checked
[10:42] <dj__> nope i tried to upgrade but no progress
[10:42] <totesmuhgoats> samba35: /msg alis help
[10:42] <tBag> What is freqency AMD Barthon 2500+
[10:42] <foolsh> add1ctus: Paste bin your xorg.conf let me peek at it
[10:42] <dns53> Aruzsi so what is the problem? grub thinks the root partition is wrong?
[10:42] <Aruzsi> dns53: Yes!
[10:43] <samba35> LIST
[10:43] <add1ctus> foolsh : http://paste.ubuntu.com/966641/
[10:43] <totesmuhgoats> tBag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athlon#Barton_and_Thorton
[10:43] <thoong> lvm on livecd?
[10:43] <totesmuhgoats> looks like 1833 mhz
[10:43] <Aruzsi> dns53: Grub2 started and I can choose from te menu and after it I got error messages because of the mismatching UUID
[10:43] <Naemdar> Looks like I am going shopping for a new gig e cable this weekend.  I appreciate your patience.
[10:43] <yabanize> foolish: i try to use sudo grub-install /dev/sda or /sda6 but it says cannot find deivce for /boot/grub
[10:43] <Rothron> Hey guys. The ubuntu installer picks a video sync that my monitor can't display, so I can't even install the thing. (12.04)
[10:44] <add1ctus> foolsh: it might be messed up since i tried lots of stuff yesturday, and i was trying to force a different resolution on my working screen also (i'm pretty new to linux)
[10:44] <tBag> totesmuhgoats, thx
[10:44] <Aruzsi> dns53: of course I can retype UUID for only one boot
[10:45] <DarwinSurvivor> I hope Naemdar realizes that both his router AND computer need to support 1Gb before the link will go above 100Mb and that it still won't make his torrents any faster
[10:45] <dns53> Aruzsi you need to rebuild the init file system and re-run grub, or you could change the uuild of the root file system to match
[10:45] <Aruzsi> dns53: If I typed correctly that 100 numbers the system starts complain about wrong FS or fstab.
[10:46] <foolsh> add1ctus: ok here's mine I use Xinerama with no problems http://paste.ubuntu.com/966642/   might want to ajust those monitor timings and you could use mine
[10:46] <Aruzsi> dns53: Where I can edit MANUALLY UUID for grub? I don't have Ubuntu install CD/DVD
[10:46] <dj__> i am not able to upgrade my ubuntu can anyone help me?
[10:46] <add1ctus> foolsh : thanks, i'll see what can i do and i'll let you know
[10:46] <Aruzsi> dns53: I've got systemrescuecd
[10:47] <Aruzsi> dns53: I'm a little bit fed up with totally automatic setup.
[10:47] <dj__>  i am not able to upgrade my ubuntu can anyone help me?
[10:50] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: grub doesn't use the UUID's, it uses the (hdX,X) format, the UUID's are mostly used in /etc/fstab so the kernel knows where to mount stuff AFTER grub has passed control over to it
[10:50] <dns53> Aruzsi i don't believe you need to enter the uuid of the root partition, instead you can use the path, my command line was BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg0-root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7
[10:51] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: There is UUID in my Grub2 menu which was genereated automatically.
[10:51] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: really? weird...
[10:51] <dns53> Aruzsi but you don't need to use it, specify root=/path
[10:52] <Rothron> I have my installer as an usb key. Is there a way to specify a resolution my monitor can display?
[10:52] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: LCD or CRT?
[10:52] <add1ctus> foolsh: I noticed you're using twinview and not xinerama? I tried doing that through nvidia-settings and I get the following error message : http://paste.ubuntu.com/966651/
[10:52] <dns53> Rothron i believe you can, when the boot menu comes up there are options
[10:53] <Aruzsi> dns53: If I specify by /dev/sdaX grub complains
[10:53] <dns53> Rothron press f2 i believe and it will tell you what you can do
[10:53] <Aruzsi> dns53: the search command
[10:53] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: LCD
[10:53] <dns53> Aruzsi so partitions and not lvm or dmcrpt or anything strange?
[10:53] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: is ubuntu not using the native resolution of the LCD?
[10:53] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: Yes, weird! Absolutelly
[10:53] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: 12.04 Server
[10:53] <Rothron> I didn't see any boot menu. I got a short view of a little keyboard icon = a little man icon and then it lost sync
[10:53] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: nope
[10:54] <JonathanEllis> I am having problems with Chromium-browser and google-chrome both crashing on Ubuntu 12.04. Error messages from the terminal are here http://pastebin.com/kmNwGLzj      I googled this problem and found these bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/949439     and     http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=101160         I now don't know if this is a problem with chromium, google-chrome, ubuntu.
[10:54] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: is it possible for you to pastebin the exist menu.lst. We may be able to write the new one for you instead of trying to walk you through i
[10:54] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: is it possible for you to pastebin the exist menu.lst. We may be able to write the new one for you instead of trying to walk you through it
[10:54] <Aruzsi> dns53: I've got 2 partitions: sda1 -> swap; sda2 -> root
[10:54] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: no menu.lst
[10:54] <ciphergoth> Have upgraded to 12.04 and suffering from a weird problem: when I start our in-house time tracker application - written in Java with Swing - it appears in the list of icons but the window doesn't seem to be on the desktop.  Is there anything I can do?
[10:54] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: it is Grub2!!!!!
[10:55] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: ah
[10:55] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: :(
[10:55] <JonathanEllis> I am running chromium-browser version 18.0.1025.151 (Developer Build 130497 Linux) Ubuntu 12.04
[10:55] <pvh_sa> hey there, is there any way to get that 'default applications' launcher that was standard on 11.10 on 12.04? the one which said 'listen to music' etc
[10:55] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: I know simple Grub and I hate Grub2!
[10:55] <foolsh> add1ctus: You're right I keep calling that a hold out from my slackware days. try commenting out 'Option         "metamodes" "CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, CRT-1: 1280x1024 +1280+0"'
[10:55] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: if you open the "Displays" dialog inside configuration settings, what resolutions are you allowed to pick from?
[10:55] <dns53> Aruzsi root(hd1,1) i think
[10:55] <Aruzsi> dns53: hd0,1
[10:56] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: generally, an "undecided, incomplete' bug report is not a good source to go on
[10:56] <Sliss> On ubuntu apache with php> I query shotwell db to get an image location for display. I always get a read error in the apache error log. Can I somehow add the www-data user to a group so it does have read permissions to a home dir? It only works if www-data is the owner of all my photo's and this is not desirable. I also tried linking the photo dir to a dir inside the www but this didn't work either. What is the best approach to this?
[10:56] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: oh yeah, I forgot all about that :(
[10:56] <thoong> would ubuntu be coexist with different linux like fedora without mucking grub?
[10:56] <dr_willis> pvh_sa:  try using hud to search fir it.. hit alt  then enter  default
[10:56] <Aruzsi> dns53: Grub2 not accept hd0 for search command!
[10:56] <thoong> i have tbyte, want more os on it toi play
[10:56] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: you also need to update your Chromium
[10:57] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: do you understand *nix permissions (rwx, etc)?
[10:57] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: mine is 18.0.1025.168
[10:57] <dr_willis> thoong:  ubuntus grub2  can see other oss and set them in the menu. or add your own entrues
[10:57] <terminalclient> hey all, just started using a VPN on my laptop but I can't SSH in with the VPN on from my android phone, can anyone help with this?
[10:57] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, thanks. it doesn't seem to do anything... do you know if there is a way to 'tag' applications? so if i type 'listen', it will find my music player?
[10:58] <Sliss> yes i do DarwinSurvivor. But I have the feeling apache behaviour is in the way
[10:58] <Aruzsi> dns53: So using UUID wasn't my choise.
[10:58] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: you need to make sure which device you actually want to boot from. fdisk -l I believe will show you a list of available drives
[10:58] <thoong> thanks.. i have huge tb. wanna filled them up with os.
[10:58] <dr_willis> pvh_sa:  nope. ive just been experimenting wuth hud.
[10:58] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: apache does not need read permissions on your home folder, only execute permissions. the read permissions are only required on the folders that actually contain photos
[10:58] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, it is rather cool, isn't it?
[10:58] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I-ve got only one SSD
[10:59] <realopty> mm yes what is the latest version that excludes unity??
[10:59] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: but you need to know what grub thinks it's called
[10:59] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: execute allows apache to ENTER the folder, read allows it to see what files are in it
[10:59] <Sliss> DarwinSurvivor: I have to use shotwell as a normal user over the same images I want to display via apache
[10:59] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: and it is booting into grub2 menu
[10:59] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I'm running TwinView. My Monitor shows up as Unknown and the resolution is 3200x1200, the only one. I suspect i need to run non-nvidia drivers to find the information.
[10:59] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, if i find time though i want to put some effort into app integration - so i can connect my synapse with gnote, etc
[10:59] <realopty> !unity
[10:59] <realopty> !versions
[10:59] <Sliss> I will double check all settings
[10:59] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: Where did you get your updated chromium? I have installed all the updates from the ubuntu repo. Is there another repo I should add or did you build it from source?
[10:59] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: and what shows up on the grub menu?
[11:00] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I've got many menu items
[11:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: please list what video card you have, what the native resolution of your monitor is and what driver(s) you are using
[11:00] <realopty> !notunity
[11:00] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: when I installed chromium, it added the google repo, so it updates straight from google. how did you install your chromium?
[11:01] <realopty> !clasic
[11:01] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: From the ubuntu software centre. How did you install yours?
[11:01] <realopty> !classic
[11:01] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: I installed mine from Software Center
[11:01] <skulltip> what is the install ubuntu 12.04 username and password? I managed to log out and switch to ubuntu 2d on the install CD.. it's asking for a username and pw
[11:01] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: hang on a sec
[11:01] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: If I choose the default I got a new submenu with the possibility of some old kernels
[11:02] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: did you try sudo apt-get update?
[11:02] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: what permissions is shotwell giving the folders and photos by default? (ex: rw-rw-r--)
[11:02] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: error: no such device: <uuid>
[11:02] <thoong> like unity too, but i hope ubuntu wouldnt ditched it future, much like fedora with bluecurve... when they graft addons to gnome, they will have to perpectually support  it when gnome undergoes changes.
[11:02] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you reinstall grub using livecd/usb?
[11:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: of course I can change it but not permanently
[11:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I did it
[11:03] <skulltip> maybe root and root?
[11:03] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT520 [GeForce GT520] (rev a1)    native resolution is 1600x1200.  Driver is nvidia version 280.13
[11:03] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: if you *think* you have the permissions set up right and it still isn't working, please pastebin /var/log/apache/error.log (I *think* that's the right path)
[11:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: because of wrong UUID the grub will be wrong
[11:03] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: sorry, I was wrong, I forgot that I went to chrome.google.com
[11:03] <foolsh> !notunity
[11:03] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: try that, it should offer to add itself to the repos
[11:04] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: after you choose the correct settings or w/e it should open up software center for you
[11:04] <add1ctus> foolsh : Finally both of my screens work, but now I get an error message when I log in, and also Ubuntu asking me if I want to send error report. error message and xconf.org pasted on http://paste.ubuntu.com/966666/
[11:04] <terminalclient> anyone know how to SSH into a box behind a VPN?
[11:04] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I don't have Ubuntu install except the iso on an external USB HDD
[11:05] <Ztane> is there any known bugs why touchpad should stop working now in unity; I have now encountered twice with precise that screen lock & release, the touchpad does not move mouse cursor, though scrolling works...
[11:05] <add1ctus> foolsh: and if you could also explain me how to force both screens on 1280x1024 resolution.. nvidia-settings doesn't allow me to put 1280x1024 on one of the monitor, while it worked perfectly on windows
[11:05] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: if Ubuntu is not installed, why are you getting a grub prompt?
[11:05] <Ztane> before that, I had it working for over a year without any such problems
[11:05] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: but I can mount the Ubuntu's FS
[11:05] <foolsh> add1ctus: Hang on a minute
[11:05] <add1ctus> foolsh : will do
[11:05] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Ubuntu was installed
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: on a different machine
[11:06] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: where was ubuntu installed?
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I rsynced it
[11:06] <Ztane> also, touchpad is disabled when typing has been turned OFF bc it was buggy on my machine.
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I changed the drive
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: fdisked it
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: mkswap+mkfs.ext4
[11:06] <Ztane> very annoying to have to hit control-alt-bs every second day...
[11:07] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: re-synced the FS
[11:07] <gaelfx> !enter > Aruzsi
[11:07] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: hmm, that video card should work by default (I have a GT430 which was one of its predecessors)
[11:07] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: can you post a screenshot of your issue?
[11:07] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: I have the google repo from when I installed google chrome. I will check which version of google-chrome I have
[11:07] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: on what drive is ubuntu actually installed? or are you just using a liveusb?
[11:08] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: sda
[11:08] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: I mean the physical drive
[11:08] <Akusari> Hello People!
[11:08] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: sda is a 32GB SSD
[11:08] <Rothron> DrawinSurvivor: I can take a photograph of the screen, but I don't see how that will be helpful?
[11:09] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: ok, and this SSD is in the computer you're using now, right?
[11:09] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: the full FS is on my external USB drive
[11:09] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Yes
[11:09] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: I have google-chrome 18.0.1025.168 and I was already having this problem. I have added some more update settings to my software sources. I will check for more updates and see if anything offers to update.
[11:09] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: what full FS?
[11:09] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I thought since I have the installer on an usb key, I could change it to somehow pick a different resolution & refresh. Something that my screen can sync to.
[11:09] <Akusari> I've created a bugreport today: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/994414 If somebody could set importance to low it would be pleased :-)
[11:09] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: full FS: It was rsynced the original (16GB) SSD
[11:09] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: I'm just having a hard time picturing what you are experiencing. Maybe you could describe it once again?
[11:10] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis:  I had a similar problem a couple days ago, but the most recent update seems to have fixed it. Could you give me a url that crashes so I can test it?
[11:10] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: rsynced from the original ...
[11:10] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: ubuntu should be auto-detecting your screen when lightdm loads (and again at login time actually). There shouldn't be any need to manually set it at all
[11:10] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: ok, but you realize that rsyncing doesn't copy bit-by-bit, right? and thus that any booting information might be put in the wrong place?
[11:11] <foolsh> add1ctus: try using this one, the "trick" is to make X think it has two identical monitors. At least that's what I have to do for my setup.
[11:11] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: why not just do a fresh install on the new SSD?
[11:11] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: Its no particular url that crashes it. Sometimes it happens randomly. Usually its when I try to login to google services with multiple sign on.
[11:11] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I knew it won't boot in the very first time because no boot record on the new SSD so I "re"installed grub2
[11:11] <foolsh> add1ctus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966671/
[11:11] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: ah, that is a scenario I can't test. The GFW generally makes things like that impossible
[11:11] <foolsh> add1ctus: sorry left out the url
[11:12] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: did you mention something about Twinview before? If you only have 1 monitory, why are you using TwinView?
[11:12] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Because I need that machine and I don't want to reinvent the wheel from the scratch
[11:12] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: and I want in a sort time more 30 machines
[11:13] <Rothron> DrawinSurvivor: From the 64-bit installer iso, I created a bootable usb-key. When I stick it in and boot from it, I first see a low-resolution image of something that looks like a keyboard an equals-sign and circle with a person inside. That lasts for about a second, and then both my monitors report that the signal is out of range.
[11:13] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: do you understand my base task,
[11:13] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: well, clearly rsync isn't going to make this any faster if you can't get it to work on one machine
[11:13] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Why?
[11:13] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: you are trying to make the install process faster by duplicating the install from one machine to 30 others, right?
[11:13] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: My problem is: UUID now
[11:14] <Dr_willis> you can set the uuid of a FS via the tune2fs command, or edit the fstab so it matches.
[11:14] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: maybe will be more like NIC MAC or NIC identify
[11:14] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: you put the iso onto the usb key (using unetbootin or similar), or *installed* ubuntu to the usb key?
[11:14] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Yes
[11:14] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I have two monitors. I'm currently running 11.10 but since I've done major upgrade so many times, I wanted to do a clean install.
[11:14] <dns53> Aruzsi tune2fs /dev/hdb1 -U `uuid`
[11:14] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you see what Dr_willis said?
[11:15] <foolsh> add1ctus: Well?
[11:15] <Dr_willis> i dont recall the uuid being an issue when i cloned my installs. but i was going from a 8gb usb to a larger usb for the most part
[11:15] <add1ctus> foolsh: replaced the config with the one you gave me, restarted lightdm, still same.
[11:15] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I used usb-creator-gtk
[11:15] <Aruzsi> dns53: the new UUID is not the problem. The problem is: how can I tell that to GRUB?
[11:15] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: Update manager is now installing chromium 18.0.1025.168 so hopefully that might fix it
[11:16] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: about what?
[11:16] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: probably the same update I put on a couple days ago, let me know if it works
[11:16] <_dev0_> Hi all, How can I make the screen brighter? I have a notebook lgp430 and FN Keys Of Laptop Brightness Does Not Work, any idea? I already tried this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor splash"
[11:16] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: tune2fs
[11:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: does it work correctly if you only connect 1 monitor?
[11:16] <dns53> Aruzsi chroot to the partition and run update-grub and get ubuntu to update the grub config?
[11:16] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I'll check it out.
[11:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: also, have you verified the integrity of the usb install image?
[11:17] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: what can I do with tune2fs?
[11:17] <DarwinSurvivor> !md5 | Rothron
[11:17] <inashdeen> hi there, how do i convert an AVI format video to AMV video on ubuntu 12.04. thanks
[11:17] <Aruzsi> dns53: I tiried it.
[11:17] <dns53> Aruzsi change the uuid to the old uuid?
[11:17] <Dr_willis> whats an 'amv' video?
[11:17] <Aruzsi> dns53: I tried
[11:17] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: match the UUID to what grub wants
[11:17] <Dr_willis> set the UUID to 000-000-000-000 for everything. ;)
[11:17] <gaelfx> or that :P
[11:17] <foolsh> add1ctus: look at your xorg.conf again and see if it add a second monitor section after a restart
[11:17] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: OK. In which config file???
[11:18] <foolsh> add1ctus: if you notice mine only has the one monitor section
[11:18] <Aruzsi> dns53: UUID is now the old one.
[11:18] <inashdeen> Dr_willis : it is a video format
[11:18] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: I think it's in /etc/default/grub, but I'm not sure
[11:18] <Naemdar> I feel totally stupid now.  The port was negotiating to 1000 half, that was screwing up the performance.  I installed the pci nic and the problem is gone.
[11:18] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I'm absolutelly sure it isn't there.
[11:18] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  so i gathered.. but where did it come from?  cant say ive heard of AMV except for 'anime music video'
[11:18] <add1ctus> foolsh : yep, only one monitor, display and screen section
[11:19] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: maybe /etc/grub.d/grub.cfg ?
[11:19] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  normally one uses ffmpeg, or mencoder. but  the details of what codec and otehr settngs to use is the imporntant part
[11:19] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: but I check again ... I have to boot into systemrescuecd ...
[11:19] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  i thought update-grub rescanned the uuids and set them up
[11:19] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: It matches ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso in http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/MD5SUMS
[11:19] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: totally possible, but it seems he's tried that and it's still not working
[11:19] <inashdeen> Dr_wilis: it is not as popular as AVI or mp4. but here is an example http://soft29.com/amv_converter.html
[11:20] <gaelfx> inashdeen: mkv ftw!
[11:20] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  when in doubt check the ffmpeg/mencoder faqs and look for presets for winff, and avidemux, and arista
[11:20] <foolsh> add1ctus: could try setting the monitor HorizSync 31.0 - 83.0 and VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 to the benq values and rm ./.nvidia-settings-rc
[11:21] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: sorry, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:21] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: ok, can you reboot with the USB and use the built-in checksum checker to make sure the installer didn't get corrupted while being copied to the USB drive?
[11:21] <inashdeen> Dr_willis : was looking in ffmoeg. apparently ffmpeg doesnt support it
[11:21] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: it is a generated file ...
[11:21] <add1ctus> foolsh : i did set horizsync and vertrefresh, but i get "cannot remove './.nvidia-settings-rc': No such file or directory
[11:22] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  im suprised anything supports it.. its a closed codec. but  theres some info at --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMV_video_format
[11:22] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: so it will be right for just a test
[11:22] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I could probably, if the menu wasn't out of sync. But I'll try with a single monitor when I'm able.
[11:22] <foolsh> add1ctus: thats ok restart X
[11:22] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  and its possible that theres some extra ffmpeg options not in the default ffmpeg that would support it.
[11:22] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,   The AMV code has been sent upstream to the main FFmpeg project[5] and the mainline version of FFmpeg now decodes and encodes AMV.
[11:23] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: Thank you for your help.
[11:23] <add1ctus> foolsh : changed, still same.
[11:23] <inashdeen> Dr_willis : still new in ubuntu and not really happy with im seeing. :( btw, thank you
[11:23] <Dr_willis> i used the wikipedia search lense ;)
[11:23] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: no problem. let us know how the reboot goes!
[11:23] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  demand a refund?
[11:24] <gaelfx> sorry, my battery died
[11:24] <inashdeen> Dr_willis: what does that mean?
[11:24] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you find it?
[11:24] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,   i just used a  unity 'lens' to search wikipedia and find the info without ever leaveing unity. ;) nifty feature those lens
[11:24] <foolsh> add1ctus: The thing is, that if use mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/966642/  it should give you what I use which works great
[11:24] <add1ctus> foolsh : so, should i put that one and restart?
[11:25] <foolsh> add1ctus: worth a shot
[11:25] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: in/etc/defaul/grub not consosts of any UUID
[11:26] <add1ctus> foolsh : used the monitor/screen/device sections from there, will restart now
[11:26] <foolsh> add1ctus: I would just dump the whole thing in there a try it verbatuim
[11:27] <Dr_willis> # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
[11:27] <terminalclient> anyone know how I can SSH into my laptop when it's behind an OpenVPN?
[11:27] <Dr_willis> #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
[11:27] <Dr_willis> makes me wonder how grub sets the root if its not using UUID then,
[11:27] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you check /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[11:28] <Dr_willis> wouldent the VPN then need to have some sort of port forwarding enabled same as if the laptop was on a 'real' network?
[11:28] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Yes!
[11:29] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: there is the wrong UUID
[11:29] <foolsh> add1ctus: Well?
[11:29] <add1ctus> foolsh: one of my monitors now shows "mode not supported"..
[11:29] <terminalclient> Dr_willis all port forwarding has been done, but still can't SSH in
[11:29] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: ok, so change the UUID to the one you see there
[11:30] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: for a test?
[11:30] <foolsh> add1ctus: ok change VertRefresh to 60 - 75.0 instead of 60.0 - 85.0
[11:30] <add1ctus> foolsh : i think that they're both around 59 - 75 hz(not 100% sure on which one is 75hz though), and they both support 1280x1024 (at least did in windows)... is it set to those amounts in the config? (not sure if vertrefresh is the refresh rate)
[11:30] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: because any kernel update will rewrite it.
[11:30] <navajo> anyone using openbox?
[11:30] <add1ctus> foolsh : restarting now again
[11:30] <foolsh> add1ctus: you read my mind
[11:31] <navajo> h
[11:31] <foolsh> add1ctus: now?
[11:31] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: check what Dr_willis suggested, uncomment #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true in /etc/default/grub
[11:32] <navajo> exit
[11:32] <jarco> are there standard some lenses on ubuntu?
[11:32] <add1ctus> foolsh : still the same... one on 1280x1024 and one on 1024x768, and i still get the error message
[11:32] <foolsh> add1ctus: dang it
[11:33] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: also I was saying before you should use tune2fs to change the uuid of the drive to match the one you found in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:33] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: but no need to do both, I'd try Dr_willis suggestion
[11:33] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: OK
[11:33] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: And I have to reinstall GRUB?
[11:34] <foolsh> add1ctus: I told you, you were way out in the deep water lol
[11:34] <Dr_willis> anytime you change the grub confgs you rereun update-grub and it remakes the grub boot files
[11:35] <add1ctus> foolsh : i know, that's why i came here.. the shallow ones get googled :D
[11:35] <add1ctus> foolsh : wow... i think i have it sorted out, brb for a restart
[11:35] <gauravgrt1> hey how to install latest nvidia drivers for my ubuntu 12.04...how do i find out information abt my hardware so that i can install the proper  drivers...
[11:38] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  that option seem to just change to the   root=/dev/sdb2  syntax:wq
[11:38] <Dr_willis> oops
[11:38] <add1ctus> foolsh : just checked nvidia-settings and the 1280x1024 resolution was available for the both monitors.. i changed it, worked.. i saved the settings to xorg.conf, restarted and it works now flawlessly, but the error message is still here
[11:38] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: I would check if it works without reinstalling first
[11:39] <foolsh> add1ctus: give me link to the error message again
[11:39] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: hmmmm...
[11:39] <add1ctus> foolsh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966666/ the error message is there (but the xorg.conf is different now)
[11:39] <Isumi> hello. why does bugzilla depends on x11-common etc? I thought it was a web-based application
[11:39] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: does it remake /etc/default/grub as well? I thought only /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[11:40] <foolsh> add1ctus: k
[11:40] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: let me see ...
[11:40] <add1ctus> foolsh : or actually , it's a bit different error message this time.. let me restart and pastebin it again
[11:40] <foolsh> add1ctus: al right
[11:40] <Pitel> Can I somehow set Nautilus to show items in more compact view? I want large icon, but I don;t want them to be in grid with large unused space between them.
[11:41] <william_> hello from seoul, s. korea. cinnamon loads but i get these weird errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966729/
[11:41] <gaelfx> Pitel: you might be able to find somet kind of setting in gconf-editor related to that, but I highly doubt it
[11:41] <Pitel> gaelfx: I know it was possible in older version.
[11:42] <gaelfx> Pitel: how did you do it in the older version?
[11:42] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: what is the right command reinstalling grub2? I don't want to use my theory.
[11:42] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[11:42] <gauravgrt1> hey how to install latest nvidia drivers for my ubuntu 12.04...how do i find out information abt my hardware so that i can install the proper  drivers...
[11:42] <Pitel> gaelfx: it was just called "compact view" but it worked different then what it does now.
[11:42] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: sorry, can't remember it off the top of my head, and it takes more than one command to do it I know
[11:43] <add1ctus> foolsh : http://paste.ubuntu.com/966732/
[11:44] <gaelfx> Pitel: different how? to me, it looks like icons in a tight list
[11:44] <foolsh> add1ctus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1563603   says 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' then 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and close nvidia-setting then restart
[11:45] <Pitel> gaelfx: it was like large icon view, but not in the grid, the items was just more "stuffed".
[11:45] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  you edit /etc/default/grub :) so thats where you put the changes it then applies to the grub.cfg
[11:45] <gaelfx> gauravgrt1: install the post-release updates version of the driver found in SystemSettings->Hardware drivers
[11:45] <Slartibart> Is it somehow possible to enable mount for users without sudo, so that they can mount - some - devices? Is pmount the closest?
[11:45] <Rothron> darwinsurvivor: Same thing happened I'm afraid. Just getting som sort of pre-splash screen and then it drops out of sync.
[11:46] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: yeah, but do kernel updates actually re-write the /etc/default/grub settings?
[11:46] <jpds> gaelfx: No.
[11:46] <skulltip> got 3/4 way thru the 12.04 install (unity 2d), and now the system seems frozen with raster across the screen
[11:46] <gaelfx> jpds: thanks
[11:46] <add1ctus> foolsh : tried it, still the same error message
[11:46] <gaelfx> Pitel: sorry, I don't really understand. You wouldn't happen to have a screenshot, would you?
[11:46] <william_> crap, brb, going to buy cereal. still having a cinnamon prob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966729/
[11:47] <foolsh> add1ctus: ok also it says in your homedir look for the .config dir rename the file called monitors.xml. Logout, login
[11:47] <Pitel> gaelfx: looking for it...
[11:47] <virpara> hello
[11:48] <virpara> i got an error
[11:48] <virpara> http://pastebin.com/9mBVTRwm
[11:48] <virpara> how to get rid of that
[11:48] <KM0201> virpara: what were you installing, and how were you installing it?
[11:48] <Pitel> gaelfx: http://martin.ankerl.com/files/compact8.10.gif this
[11:48] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  it shouldent. without asking at least.. now a grub2 update could ask to change the file and revert to package mainteners default and so forth
[11:49] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: after chroot the grub-install /dev/sda doesn't do anything
[11:49] <foolsh> add1ctus: did you get my last message?
[11:49] <virpara> i am compiling osd lyrics 0.4.2
[11:49] <add1ctus> foolsh : yes, i did.. trying to figure out how to rename files through terminal though :D
[11:49] <KM0201> Pitel: why does that GIF keep jumping like that?
[11:49] <foolsh> add1ctus: mv ./oldfile ./newfile
[11:49] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  if you do it right - you dont need to chroot. grub-install has options where chrooting is not needed
[11:50] <Pitel> KM0201: dunno, but both frames have the layout I want
[11:50] <add1ctus> foolsh : done.. should i do the nvidia steps again?
[11:50] <add1ctus> foolsh : or just restart?
[11:50] <skulltip> maybe i should try the alt installer, is that text based?
[11:50] <Pitel> KM0201: i couldn't find any bether screenshot. all have the grid layout I don;t want :)
[11:50] <tim__b> hi, i'm having trouble installing wine on ubuntu 12.04 64bit using the repo (official and ppa), there's trouble
[11:50] <foolsh> add1ctus: just restart I hope
[11:50] <tim__b> with the gettext packages
[11:50] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you try changing the SSD's UUID with tune2fs? or uncommenting the line in /etc/default/grub?
[11:50] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: I'm absolutelly not sure I did right.
[11:51] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: grub.cfg wasn't changed ...
[11:51] <gaelfx> !problem | tim__b
[11:51] <gaelfx> er.. oops
[11:51] <gaelfx> !details | tim__b
[11:51] <add1ctus> foolsh : i love you sir. everything is as it should be finally
[11:51] <foolsh> add1ctus: awesome now I'm out
[11:52] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  if your system to fix is mounted at '/media/fixme'  then a command similer to --> sudo  grub-install --boot-directory=/media/fixme' i THINK will reinstall grub to that hd.
[11:53] <Dr_willis> actually it may be --boot-directory=/media/fixme/boot  (im not sure) rereading the docs
[11:53] <heikoheikoheiko> I want to list all files in the current directory and all subdirs recursively and sort them by size. can ls do that? the manpage mentions -R --recursive, but doesn't go into detail. it tried ls -RlhS, but that sorts for each dir individually.
[11:54] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  theres also a gui boot-repair utility
[11:54] <tim__b> so again: i'm having package conflicts trying to install wine (tried ppa and offical repo) using aptitude on an ubuntu 12.04 64bit installation, here's a pastbin with the aptitude output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966752/
[11:54] <dwq> Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64 with Unity. I locked the screen, and now when I got back I see the mouse but everything else is black. I wrote my password and the mouse shows that there's text underneath so I guess it got unlocked, but still , everything except for the mouse is black.
[11:54] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: I think it is not enough
[11:54] <Dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[11:55] <dwq> Is there any process I should kill so it restarts and maybe I'll be able to see something?
[11:55] <jrib> tim__b: read the release notes about aptitude and multi-arch
[11:55] <jrib> !notes | tim__b
[11:56] <Slartibart> 'which mount' says '/bin/mount'. So why do I get 'mount: only root can do that' even after adding '%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/mount' to /etc/sudoers?The user is an admin group member.
[11:56] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi --> sudo  grub-install --boot-directory=/media/fixme/boot has worked for me in the past.   no need to chroot
[11:56] <Guest19922> I just downloaded and installed ubuntu studio 11.x (latest) and then upgraded to 12.04 when it was released.  Now it takes xfce like 20 seconds to load past the login window's background screen and actually start the desktop environment.  It was almost instant with the last version.  What's up with that?
[11:56] <Guest19922> and it takes forever to log out, too.
[11:56] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: It is grub2!
[11:56] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi, grub-install is for grub2
[11:57] <Guest19922> I'm talking 25-30 sec.  I'm running 6 gigs ram.. there's no excuse for this.
[11:57] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: I think I confused the system. There are grub and grub2 dir!!!!
[11:57] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  you some how installed grub1? :) not sure about that.
[11:57] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: sorry missed you comment up there.
[11:57] <Dr_willis> but when you have grub2 the commands basically setup aliass from the old grub1 commands to the newer grub2 commands
[11:57] <tim__b> thanks, jrib, should fix my problems :)
[11:57] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: so it's not even working with just 1 monitor attached?
[11:58] <Rothron> It behaves exactly the same as when I had two monitors connected.
[11:58] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: you said before that you had no troubles with cloning systems, how did you clone them?
[11:58] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: the two dirs are absolutelly different!
[11:58] <craigbass1976> Did something cups-ish change in 12.04?  localhost:631 doesn't bring me anywhere, and I expected the cups config
[11:58] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  i just dd'd the flash drive to a bigger flash and  booted it. and reran gparted to resize the existing pariton i belive.
[11:58] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: I mean, did you use rsync or what?
[11:58] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: is it usable enough to run tests on or is the display completely useless?
[11:58] <jrib> craigbass1976: upgrade or fresh install?  Works for me but I did an upgrade
[11:58] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  just used dd and gparted i recall.. been a while.
[11:58] <craigbass1976> jrib, fresh
[11:59] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: thanks, I'm an idiot and never would have realized that that's the way to do it
[11:59] <jrib> craigbass1976: I can't comment then :)
[11:59] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: would cat work as well?
[11:59] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: It's an LCD so unless it gets something it can sync to it shows nothing. Just the message box.
[11:59] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: I'm very creative but now I'm confused at all. Which command, which cfg, which generates which one, etc.
[11:59] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: If I had a CRT I could probably get something, but those are hard to come by these days.
[11:59] <craigbass1976> jrib, oh, come on.  You can comment.  Come up with a good one.  I'll take funny over correct most days.  :)
[11:59] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: darn, sometime's they'll kind of "pan" around :(
[12:00] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: would you be opposed to trying to clone the other drive again?
[12:00] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  one neat trick was if i moved the new copy pendrive to a 2nd pc.. (so one pc didenthave 2 pen drives with the same uuids) i could boot that pc. run update-grub and it would see the pendriveinstall. so IF i had any issues i could use that pc to boot the pendrive and try to fix things.
[12:00] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: Maybe if I try VGA instead of DVI.
[12:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: worth a shot
[12:00] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  you could be testing this out in virtualbox. :) save some time.
[12:00] <Dr_willis> brb
[12:00] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Does it mean go back totally?
[12:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: I'd also try completely formatting the USB drive and recreating it to make sure it's not corrupted.
[12:01] <JasseT> hello folks, is anyone else here having issues with IM's, both empathy and pidgin, that they keep disconnecting from gtalk and fb chat?
[12:01] <jrib> craigbass1976: something cats in hats something something?  heh, check that you have "Listen localhost:631" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[12:01] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: Yes, you're right but I thought it would be shorter.
[12:01] <heikoheikoheiko> Is there any system about what is put in "Accessories" and what in "System"? why is firelight in Acessories and baobab in System? both do the same.
[12:01] <blurp> I've been waiting for over two minutes for gnome to load on this box... what's wrong?  It's been like this ever since the update to 12.04.
[12:02] <yeats> JasseT: I am not having that problem if it helps you troubleshoot (with pidgin on multiple installations of 12.04)
[12:02] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2724/best-way-to-clone-an-installation-copying-to-identical-hardware
[12:02] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: I think you should either use clonezilla or, more simply, use dd to copy the first install to the second hard drive
[12:03] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: but I will tell you that I think rsync is not really meant to do what you're using it to do
[12:03] <JasseT> yeats: just figured I'd ask around a bit before looking in to it
[12:03] <JasseT> to see how common of an issue it is
[12:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: what is the problem with rsync?
[12:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: except booting?
[12:04] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: rsync is just for creating copies of files in different locations, not so much for cloning drives
[12:05] <inashdeen> Dr_willis: apparently found a quick fix here. http://bytessence.com/bmpxc.html. the linux version produce ffmpeg error. but the windows version works on wine
[12:05] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: sorry, but unfortunately I have to go now
[12:06] <craigbass1976> jrib, are there any new security measures in 12.04 that might be getting in my way?  I believe I saw selinux somewhere, and I remember how fun that used to be back on Fedora 3 or 4
[12:06] <isnnnn> what is the best way to make a disk image before upgrading to 12.04?
[12:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: cloning is my problem. old UUID != new one.
[12:06] <isnnnn> dd or is there a faster way?
[12:06] <william_> I'm having a problem with Cinnamon on Ubuntu 12.04. Cinnamon loads but I get these errors in Terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966729/
[12:06] <jrib> craigbass1976: don't know.  Have you checked if cupsd is actually running? (ps -ef | grep cupsd)
[12:06] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: If VGA doesn't work, all I can think of is trying an onboard output (if your motherboard has any) or maybe usind a cd instead of a usb (but that's a long shot)
[12:06] <craigbass1976> jrib, says it is
[12:06] <iceroot> Aruzsi: then change to the new uuid
[12:06] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: so long
[12:06] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: is there any reason you can't give dd a try? Because currently, we've gotten nowhere and taken a long time getting there
[12:06] <iceroot> Aruzsi: blkid will show you the new uuid
[12:06] <jrib> craigbass1976: netstat -lnp | grep 631   shows it listening on the right port?
[12:07] <craigbass1976> jrib, nothing... hrmmm
[12:08] <gaelfx> iceroot: he's trying to clone an install using rsync
[12:08] <craigbass1976> jrib, unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     19842    816/cupsd           /var/run/cups/cups.sock is without the grepping
[12:08] <gaelfx> iceroot: and he wants to do this 30 or so more times after this
[12:09] <iceroot> gaelfx: if i am correct his issue is "after cloning the uuid is not the same to the system will not start"
[12:09] <Aruzsi> iceroot: Yes
[12:09] <iceroot> gaelfx: fix = blkid and edit /etc/fstab
[12:10] <Aruzsi> iceroot: fstab is empty and system complaining
[12:10] <iceroot> Aruzsi: then create one
[12:10] <gaelfx> iceroot: fair enough
[12:10] <iceroot> !fstab | Aruzsi
[12:10] <Aruzsi> iceroot: why? Empty not missing!
[12:10] <qwd> I manually edited crypttab, fstab and maybe something else to ass a second harddrive. Now when rebooting I get Busybox shell after decrypting the main harddrive. Can someone help me out here? Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64.
[12:10] <iceroot> Aruzsi: then file one
[12:10] <gauravgrt1> i have installed when i see the 'additional drivers' it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"...can anyone tell me why is that
[12:10] <Aruzsi> iceroot: and don't forget: it is working on the original machine!
[12:11] <iceroot> Aruzsi: i am not sure if grub is storing the uuid to in some configs
[12:11] <gauravgrt1> i have installed ubuntu 12.04  on my laptop when i see the 'additional drivers' it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"...can anyone tell me why is that
[12:11] <jrib> craigbass1976: and you said you had "Listen 631" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?  Have you tried restarting the cups service and looking for interesting output?  Looks like cups logs to /var/log/cups/, check that out too
[12:11] <iceroot> Aruzsi: if that is the case, change to the new uuid there
[12:11] <Aruzsi> iceroot: then how can I cahnge it????
[12:12] <iceroot> Aruzsi: editor like gedit or vi
[12:12] <iceroot> Aruzsi: and the new value is shown by "blkid"
[12:13] <olbaidiablo> Anybody running 12.04 on a netbook?
[12:13] <Aruzsi> iceroot: not how. where? permanently. Somehow Ubuntu found it in install time.
[12:13] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: yes, what's your question?
[12:13] <iceroot> Aruzsi: or just run "sudo update-grub2" imo its reading the new uuid also
[12:14] <olbaidiablo> Just finding it kinda slow
[12:14] <Gosset_Inofensiu> hi, i would like to change the language in lightdm, isn't there the possibility?
[12:14] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: what netbook are you using?
[12:14] <Aruzsi> iceroot: update-grub2 in the chrooted env?
[12:14] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: also, you do know that netbooks are generally slower
[12:14] <Aruzsi> iceroot: it sounds well
[12:14] <olbaidiablo> Acer aspire one zsu 150
[12:15] <iceroot> Aruzsi: if /boot is mounted there you can of course run the update htere
[12:15] <qwd> How can I edit fstab and crypttab from Busybox shell?
[12:15] <gaelfx> qwd: nano?
[12:15] <olbaidiablo> True... But I had been running easy peasy for a while with no prob
[12:15] <zig> Anybody know how i can get my ftp user to be able to edit remote files? Say from within an IDE? Im  positive it has to do with user/group perms
[12:15] <qwd> gaelfx: Busybox doesn
[12:15] <qwd> t seem to have nano
[12:16] <gaelfx> qwd: vim?
[12:16] <Aruzsi> iceroot: ok. Some minutes.
[12:16] <qwd> gaelfx: no
[12:16] <gaelfx> qwd: divine will?
[12:17] <olbaidiablo> I was just wondering if it was unity. Or if I should change to lubuntu
[12:17] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: you'll probalby notice lubuntu is a lot snappier, yeah
[12:18] <olbaidiablo> I'll have to try that... Thanks
[12:18] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: it also might take a while to adjust to the gui, but it could be worth it. It does feel like there's a bit more space in lubuntu desktop
[12:18] <zig> Anybody know how i can configure my user to be able to edit remote files from ftp? Im positive its problems with users/groups permissions.
[12:18] <Gosset_Inofensiu> lightdm doesn't allow you to choose the session language?!?!?
[12:18] <blurp> is lubuntu just ubuntu with lxde?
[12:18] <gaelfx> blurp: yes
[12:18] <Gosset_Inofensiu> blurp yes
[12:18] <Pici> blurp: yes
[12:18] <blurp> so..  every time you change desktop environments you're changing distros..  lol
[12:19] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: you know you can just install lubuntu-desktop package and select that session from the login, right?
[12:19] <Gosset_Inofensiu> can anybody answer my question please?
[12:19] <gaelfx> blurp: lubuntu is still ubuntu, you're just changing DE's
[12:19] <blurp> gaelfx, I was just getting to that point :)
[12:19] <craigbass1976> blurp, yes, be careful.  There's xpubuntu that installs windows.  :)
[12:19] <blurp> haha
[12:19] <gaelfx> Gosset_Inofensiu: restate the question
[12:20] <blurp> well, I run ubuntu studioi with xfce.. is that xubuntu studio?
[12:20] <blurp> lol
[12:20] <zig> Does anybody have a moment to check into my question before i leave?
[12:20] <zig> I hate my 9-5
[12:20] <gaelfx> craigbass1976: I think I had a nightmare like that once. There's actually a Chinese made version of Linux designed to look almost exactly like windows xp, down to the default wallpaper
[12:21] <gaelfx> it makes me physically ill
[12:21] <taxman> hehe
[12:21] <cookiemon5ter> zig, just add yourself to the group and give yourself permissions
[12:21] <jrib> zig: well, what files?  Can the user edit them if logged in through ssh or locally on the computer?
[12:21] <blurp> Actually, I have the 'lubuntu' theme and an 'lxde' theme, and the lubuntu theme is basically the same, but seems much cleaner, graphically.  lxde alone seems to have different fonts and such, but seems a little faster than lubuntu.
[12:21] <zig> Yes if i use vi through ssh
[12:21] <Gosset_Inofensiu> lightdm doesn't allow you to choose the session language?!?!?
[12:22] <zig> I need to use Coda on a mac.
[12:22] <taxman> the font is never an issue for me. i always use my own gold font collections
[12:22] <gaelfx> blurp: you should try installing openbox. it's wild
[12:23] <blurp> I'm about to uninstall some session managers, lol. got too many.
[12:23] <blurp> I have no use for gnome, even with 6 gigs of ram.
[12:23] <taxman> it's combine all best fonts on mac, linux, bsd and windows
[12:23] <blurp> I'm using enlightenment on bodhi atm.  It's awesome.  1.6 ghz, 1 gig of ram, and flashy AND snappy all at once.  It's really impressed me.
[12:24] <blurp> I've been meaning to try openbox.
[12:24] <taxman> i got kicked on #bodhi
[12:24] <gaelfx> craigbass1976: http://www.ylmf.org/
[12:24] <blurp> haha, why?
[12:24] <taxman> because they are borgs
[12:24] <qwd> Please take this to offtopic, some of us are here for support,
[12:24] <taxman> e17 looks like a xxxx on bodhi
[12:25] <blurp> I've tried like 20 distros on this little lappy in the last 3 weeks, and bodhi is the only one that looks decent, supports my hardware, AND didn't give me hell trying to install it from usb.
[12:25] <blurp> okay, I'm done.
[12:26] <qwd> I manually edited crypttab, fstab and maybe something else to add a second harddrive. Now when rebooting I get Busybox shell after decrypting the main harddrive. Can someone help me out here? Perhaps I need to edit fstab and crypttab again but I don't know how to from BusyBox. Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64.
[12:26] <Aruzsi> iceroot: It seems working!!!! :-D
[12:26] <Aruzsi> iceroot: System was booted!
[12:26] <taherAbdo> hi there , i want to burn an OS image on a CD , how?
[12:27] <blurp> is anyone else having issues with the update to 12.04 making logging in/out take 100x as long?
[12:27] <gaelfx> !iso | taherAbdo
[12:27] <Aruzsi> iceroot: and grub.cfg was re-generated for new UUID
[12:27] <gaelfx> oops, sorry
[12:27] <gaelfx> !burning | taherAbdo
[12:27] <iceroot> Aruzsi: great
[12:27] <blurp> or he could be using windows..
[12:27] <taherAbdo> gaelfx : yes iso
[12:28] <iceroot> Aruzsi: as you see, for every problem there is a fix :)
[12:28] <gaelfx> taherAbdo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[12:28] <blurp> if so, google 'iso burning software free' and download something.  Then use it.
[12:28] <gaelfx> blurp: that;s what the howto is for, it covers burning in Windows
[12:29] <shlunk> hi all
[12:29] <blurp> I'm new here.
[12:29] <blurp> I just like to encourage googling simple stuff whenever possible :D
[12:29] <gaelfx> blurp: no worries
[12:30] <zig> How may I reply to someone on here like you guys do me? So that you see red LOL
[12:30] <jrib> zig: just write their nick in the front (you can use tab for completion)
[12:30] <craigbass1976> zig, type their name
[12:30] <iceroot> zig: just write the nick infront of the text
[12:30] <iceroot> !tab | zig
[12:30] <blurp> it's called a highlight.
[12:30] <gaelfx> blurp: I personally try to avoid it since those who know how to do it probably already have, and those who don't know how to do it probably won't bother
[12:30] <craigbass1976> zig must be seeing red about now...
[12:30] <shlunk> i'm on 10.10, and when i run update-manager, it only gives me the option of upgrading to 11.04
[12:30] <zig> Agghh hah!
[12:30] <zig> YES
[12:30] <shlunk> but that doesn't let me upgrade
[12:30] <craigbass1976> heh
[12:30] <gaelfx> !eol | shlunk
[12:30] <zig> craigbass1976: yes
[12:30] <zig> jrib: yes
[12:31] <zig> iceroot: THanks guys.
[12:31] <Aruzsi> iceroot: Yes! And thanks for everybody who tried to help me solving this. I'm documenting it step-by-step for the next time.
[12:31] <gaelfx> shlunk: 10.10 is at it's End of Life, there will be no more updates to it ever again
[12:31] <shlunk> will it not allow me to upgrade at all??
[12:32] <shlunk> that's a bit disappointing :(
[12:32] <jrib> shlunk: upgrade to 11.04
[12:32] <gaelfx> shlunk: you can upgrade to 11.04, 11.10 or 12.04 at the moment
[12:32] <shlunk> it won't allow me to do that, to any newer version
[12:32] <jrib> shlunk: why not?
[12:32] <gaelfx> shlunk: though most people will tell you it's best to do a fresh install of the newer version
[12:32] <shlunk> firstly, it only offers 11.04 as an upgrade path
[12:32] <rothron> DrawinSurvivor: or the autodetection works better.
[12:32] <shlunk> but when i try that, it fails
[12:32] <jrib> shlunk: yes, you need to upgrade to 11.04 first
[12:33] <jrib> shlunk: fails how?
[12:33] <drvanon> hey guys, i am have installed windows xp on my virual box and everything is working fine but the registration is failing me. I have internet connection but it doesn't detect it, altough i can go to google.com
[12:33] <shlunk> i'm just trying it so i can paste the error it gives
[12:33] <gaelfx> drvanon: I think you need #virtualbox. This here is for ubuntu support
[12:34] <gaelfx> (is that the right room name?)
[12:34] <drvanon> okay
[12:34] <shlunk> upgrading to 11.04 seems to crash while "setting new software channels"
[12:34] <jrib> gaelfx, drvanon: #vbox (not sure if #virtualbox will also get you there)
[12:35] <gaelfx> jrib: thanks
[12:35] <jrib> shlunk: what does "seems to crash" mean?
[12:35] <gaelfx> jrib: it will
[12:35] <shlunk> jrib: so far it's hanging - in the past, it has crashed
[12:35] <blurp> as in the same thing xchat does when I try to get a full chan list on this server
[12:36] <blurp> ...
[12:36] <shlunk> i don't have a record of the error that appeared
[12:36] <rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I'm up and running on 12.04 now. Either my monitor is more liberal about what it accepts in the VGA or the autodetection works better.
[12:36] <ruman> hello every one...
[12:37] <jrib> shlunk: did you make sure you were up to date on 11.10 first?  Did you follow the directions on the wiki?
[12:37] <jrib> !upgrade > shlunk
[12:37] <LinuxMonkey> Anyone know of a good streaming server? I got a popcorn hour machine and I need it to be able to access video's on this system
[12:37] <shlunk> 10.10 is up to date, yes
[12:38] <jrib> shlunk: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list*
[12:38] <gaelfx> LinuxMonkey: I'm not sure about streaming, but I'm enjoying NFS as a way of watching movies from one computer on another
[12:38] <taxman> wait... i think 10.10 is end-of-life at 10/2011
[12:38] <jrib> taxman: it's eol yes
[12:38] <gaelfx> taxman: you mean was
[12:38] <zamba> i have a problem with raid-1 on ubuntu.. after every boot, the raid is degraded and assembled at /dev/md0_0 instead of assembling it at /dev/md0
[12:38] <shlunk> ok, this is the error i get when upgrading:
[12:38] <shlunk> An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
[12:38] <zamba> how can i permanently fix this?
[12:38] <shlunk> E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[12:38] <iceroot> taxman: 18 month later
[12:39] <shlunk> here's my sources.list:
[12:39] <shlunk> http://pastebin.com/1xw72hfy
[12:40] <aleksandar> hi all I updated to latest version but printscn aint working now - it just clicks but screenshot application isn't called obviously
[12:40] <jrib> shlunk: please go read the wiki about upgrading your version
[12:40] <aleksandar> is there any patch or guid how to fix this ?
[12:40] <jrib> shlunk: wait -- those are natty repositories but you're on maverick
[12:41] <craigbass1976> shlunk, yes, read it well.  I'm finishing up a borked lucid to precise at the moment.  It went horribly wrong.  I'm not sure what I missed on the wiki, and don't care at this point, but I wish I'd have been paying closer attention.
[12:41] <blurp> sounds like somebody herped when they shoulda derped.
[12:41] <ruman> anyone please ,tell me the name of any Dialer for call center which can work on ISDN
[12:42] <craigbass1976> ruman, wvdial is the only dialer I've ever played with, but that was on a regular phone line
[12:42] <shlunk> hmm, ok, my sources.list has just changed  - seems to have maverisk repos now
[12:43] <gaelfx> I really think fresh installs are the way to go. If you make a separate /home partition and then set up the application backups in Software Center, it should make things incredibly easier, especially when migrating to a new machine
[12:43] <sabert> is there any irc support in pidgin
[12:43] <gaelfx> sabert: yes
[12:43] <sabert> thanks
[12:43] <fidel_> sabert: #pidgin ?
[12:43] <gaelfx> sabert: but I prefer irssi
[12:43] <shlunk> ha
[12:43] <qwd> Ubuntu 12.04. In busybox after editing crypttab and fstab. Trying to edit fstab and crypttab from busybox, don't know how. Any advice?
[12:43] <fidel_> misread
[12:43] <shlunk> the upgrader is changing my sources.list, and then leaving it incorrect when it dies
[12:44] <shlunk> bloody thing
[12:44] <taxman> what's gwibber for? anyone knows?
[12:44] <gaelfx> shlunk: I don't think anything can fix its mistakes after it dies
[12:45] <gaelfx> !info gwibber | taxman
[12:46] <ruman> craigbass1976: means we can not run any dialer server on ubuntu server with PRI(ISDN)
[12:46] <meraj> hey any body can tell me,how to check internet speed for laptpp through gprs connection?
[12:46] <jrib> shlunk: did you put the repositories that the wiki tells you to?
[12:47] <meraj> wawowe_ hw to check internet speed for gprs connection?
[12:48] <taxman> is gprs still alive?
[12:48] <meraj> ya.
[12:48] <taxman> not in here
[12:49] <taxman> we use 3g/4g nowadays
[12:49] <aleprovencio> hello guys, I'm trying to use an apple keyboard on linux and would like to know if there is any way i can swap my *right* command and option keys as I do for their left correspondents with "setxkbmap -option altwin:swap_lalt_lwin"
[12:49] <taxman> wi-max is dead too
[12:50] <ruman> is any dialer software is available for ubuntu for ISDN line  for call centers (Calling purpose )
[12:51] <wrinkliez> anyone know why my system monitor stopped showing all processes?  now it only shows, like 2 at a time, and it keeps adding and removing the 2 that i do see
[12:51] <halidy> hii
[12:51] <nir> how can i configure sound
[12:51] <jrib> aleprovencio: have you checked for other options in altwin?
[12:51] <nir> latency ?
[12:52] <fidel_> wrinkliez: does top/htop in terminal shows a different list of processes?
[12:52] <fidel_> they should for sure ;)
[12:53] <jrib> aleprovencio: you can read /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin and see if any of the other options do what you want (or you can see how the left is swapped and do the same for the right)
[12:54] <fidel_> wrinkliez: can you reproduce that issue after restarting the system-monitor?
[12:54] <wrinkliez> fidel_ lemme see.  I haven't used ubuntu in a while, but system-monitor is supposed to show me all applications right?
[12:55] <add1ctus> Is there a way you can make the Unity video lens to search all Youtube videos, not only shows / education / movies?
[12:55] <fidel_> wrinkliez: i assume you are talking about: gnome-system-monitor right?
[12:55] <fidel_> wrinkliez: in case yes - there is a view-sub-menu where you can select some view options
[12:55] <wrinkliez> fidel_ yes
[12:56] <fidel_> my random guess: you selected: only active processes
[12:56] <wrinkliez> fidel_  aaaah therei t is. gotcha
[12:56] <wrinkliez> exactly.  thanks dood.
[12:57] <aleprovencio> jrib, yeah already did that and "swap_ralt_rwin" was the natural way of thinking but that does not work
[12:57] <jrib> aleprovencio: well swap_ralt_rwin isn't in that file.
[12:58] <aleprovencio> jrib, yeah it's not, but as i can do swap_lalt_lwin i thought it could be that
[12:58] <jrib> aleprovencio: ok.
[12:59] <BLZbubba> hello there, i configured twinview in my X config, and now I have two launchers, and the mouse is "sticky" in the middle of the screen.  is there an easy way to get rid of that middle launcher?
[12:59] <Daghdha> Hi. What decides where a volume is mounted in the Disk Utility. I have a disk and when i use the 'mount volume' button it goes to /media/backup
[12:59] <jrib> aleprovencio: but you understand you're just calling sections of that file now?
[12:59] <aleprovencio> jrib, yes
[12:59] <LinuxMonkey> BLZbubba:  yes there is
[13:00] <BLZbubba> control panel "display" also won't start, it wants to report something back to the ubuntu devs every time i try to use it
[13:00] <LinuxMonkey> go to your Display tab, yes i know you will only see 1 monitor, turn off sticky edge and set the launcher placement
[13:00] <jrib> aleprovencio: well you can continue with that path.  Should be easy to modify the existing function you use now.  Are you sure one of the others there doesn't do what you want?  I end up just using xmodmap to accomplish what you are trying to do (but on my laptop which I do not have access to now)
[13:00] <pwasek> On ubuntu 12.04 did the change anything with the smbldap-tools i cannot find certains in the folder after i install the package
[13:00] <pwasek> ?
[13:01] <LinuxMonkey> BLZbubba:  then you will have to fix that as its the only way i know how to unset those
[13:01] <reonfus> Hi, I'm NEWBIE with linux (included Ubuntu). I tried to update 11.10 to 12.04 but I couldn't. It was corrupted (I used Update Manager) with information:

[13:03] <sburjan> Hello. I have a Dell XPS 15 and after a clean install of 12.04 and my Laptop doesn't recognize my intel grapfic card, and I can't use my external display. The Additional Driver doesn not list any Intel, only a Nvidia. This laptop has Optimus technology
[13:03] <LinuxMonkey> BLZbubba: when you try to open Displays does it give you an error message, if so can you paste it to pastebin and give us the link

[13:03] <aleprovencio> jrib, xmodmap seems to do more specific stuff, even though setxkbmap seems to be more mainstream
[13:03] <jrib> aleprovencio: you can use either to do what you want
[13:03] <aleprovencio> jrib, but not both together right?
[13:04] <jrib> aleprovencio: well... uh.. I guess you could
[13:04] <BLZbubba> LinuxMonkey: RANDR extension is not present
[13:05] <johan`> BlauskaerM: Alright, I'll try that... Do you literally mean for me to type "startx 2>$1 some-file-name" (without the quotes)?
[13:05] <aleprovencio> jrib, alright, thanks a lot for your help!

[13:08] <johan`> BlauskaerM: Hm, nah, I get the following error: $1: ambiguous redirect
[13:08] <BlauskaerM> johan`: Will try it
[13:08] <BlauskaerM> One moment
[13:09] <BlauskaerM> johan`: Dont include the $
[13:09] <BlauskaerM> my bad
[13:09] <BLZbubba> LinuxMonkey: already installed, and X says it is initializing RANDR
[13:09] <BlauskaerM> "startx > crashlog 2>1"
[13:09] <johan`> BlauskaerM: Oh, alright, thanks
[13:10] <LinuxMonkey> BLZbubba: did you enable Xinerama by any chance?
[13:10] <BLZbubba> no
[13:10] <LinuxMonkey> good.lol
[13:11] <BLZbubba> heh i at least tried the first couple pages of google suggestions :)
[13:11] <johan`> BlauskaerM: Yeah, it... Hm, that's interesting. I didn't get any output so I wrote "startx 2>1 crashlog" in desperation and now X started
[13:12] <LinuxMonkey> ok BLZbubba  i have to ask..lol both monitors connected to the same card?
[13:12] <BlauskaerM> johan`: Is there a -v flag or debug flag that you can use?
[13:12] <johan`> BlauskaerM: ... And there we go, I got an Xterm session up and wrote unity and now I have a unity session. How weird.
[13:13] <mi3> hello
[13:13] <BlauskaerM> johan`: hehe :P
[13:14] <johan`> BlauskaerM: Seriously, I'm not even gonna try and find out what happened. Thanks anyway :-)
[13:14] <mi3> I just installed ubuntu 12.04, and when I do sudo apt-get update, it downloads the sources packages, thats ok for the 1st time, but then when I do apt-get update the 2nd time, it still downloads the packages again, any suggestions?
[13:14] <iRabbit> mi3: try apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:15] <Akegata> I have a package installed that I'm trying to remove, but dpkg hangs (it just stops working) when I try to install it. Is there any other way to get rid of the package? Using --force-all doesn't help.
[13:15] <BlauskaerM> johan`: If it works, why spend time fixing it? ;)
[13:15] <mi3> it says its the newest version
[13:16] <iRabbit> mi3: apt-get update just updates the distro list. It will never not yield any output
[13:16] <iRabbit> *err package lists
[13:16] <mi3> iRabbit, but it downloads the packages.bz2 files again and again!
[13:16] <tailf> how does one access the rubbish bin in ubuntu?
[13:16] <BLZbubba> LinuxMonkey: looks like it is conflicting with the screen rotation
[13:17] <iRabbit> mi3: yep... what are you trying to do?
[13:17] <mi3> the packes.bz2 are downloaded again and again, thats my problem, iRabbit
[13:18] <LinuxMonkey> ahhh BLZbubba so you rotated a screen.lol now there's an odd bug
[13:18] <iRabbit> mi3: sounds like your system is updated. I wouldn't worry too much about it then
[13:18] <SuperKay> hello 1700 people! :D
[13:18]  * SuperKay feels like the president, complimenting so much people
[13:19] <Lazik> tailf: ~/.local/share/Trash/¸
[13:19] <mi3> iRabbit, give me a solution, man, I am low on data usage, its not gonna help if it keeps on downloading those packages again
[13:19] <tailf> Lazik: thanks. it is surprisingly difficult to find that on google
[13:19] <iRabbit> mi3: comment out source list they are pulling from then
[13:21] <LinuxMonkey> mi3: doing an apt-get update will download the package lists again, its what that command is supposed to do.
[13:21] <BLZbubba> LinuxMonkey: hmm maybe that isn't it... I changed xorg.conf to use 'Option "RandRotate" "on"' -- which worked.  but I still get the missing randr error when I try to run the display settings
[13:21] <BLZbubba> so it is looking like xrandr2 is afu maybe
[13:21] <mi3> LinuxMonkey, but the packages are already downloaded, they should only be updated, it keeps on downloading those 5-6mb bz2 files again and again!!
[13:22] <mi3> and that is irritating, that really is, it should only download those files once!
[13:22] <pungi-man> hey mi3!!!
[13:23] <mi3> pungi-man, shut up!
[13:23] <pungi-man> serious business is going on!!!
[13:23] <newer> What diff between gnome shell and gnome 3
[13:24] <bazhang> newer, gnome shell and unity are shells in gnome3
[13:24] <mi3> LinuxMonkey, do you have some suggestions to overcome this nasty problem?
[13:24] <bazhang> pungi-man, chit chat elsewhere
[13:24] <yeats> mi3: apt-get update refreshes your package cache, so what you're seeing is expected behavior
[13:25] <shlunk> ;( why can't i upgrade
[13:25] <yeats> mi3: if you're trying to update all your install packages, you want apt-get upgrade (or apt-get dist-upgrade)
[13:25] <newer> so,can i just install gnome shell ?
[13:25] <yeats> s/install/installed/
[13:25] <mi3> yeats, downloading the bz2 files again [ each file size is 4-6 mb] is not expected , it never happened in the previous versions!
[13:25] <bazhang> !notunity | newer
[13:25] <pungi-man> shlunk, try this: sudo apt-get upgrade -fmy
[13:26] <newer> i see
[13:26] <newer> thx
[13:27] <iRabbit> mi3: find which package list those specific files come from and comment them out in sources.lst
[13:27] <LinuxMonkey> mi3: this is not a nasty problem, it downloads the complete index of those repositories each time you run apt-get update. it did this in previous versions too, it always have.
[13:27] <yeats> mi3: also, if you don't want/need the sources, you can comment out the 'deb-src' lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:27] <LinuxMonkey> that too
[13:28] <mi3> can I just delete that sources.list??
[13:28] <LinuxMonkey> no
[13:28] <iRabbit> lol
[13:28] <mi3> maybe I should, its just irritating, and I am also low on data usage, cant afford this
[13:29] <iRabbit> trollin'
[13:29] <LinuxMonkey> you dont want to delete it, just comment them out. then you wont be able to update your system but its the choice your making
[13:30] <mi3> hello
[13:30] <mi3> now, xchat hanged!
[13:32] <digitalcake> Need help with unknown error from ubuntu backup program,  http://pastebin.com/XHpD1eDe
[13:35] <mi3> iRabbit, I deleted that sources.list, now what can I expect?
[13:35] <Sidewinder> Trouble.
[13:35] <LinuxMonkey> mi3: you can expect that you will NOT be able to update/upgrade your system
[13:36] <LinuxMonkey> or install any packages from the repositories
[13:36] <zykotic10> LinuxMonkey: don't forget not being able to install anything new...
[13:36] <LinuxMonkey> lol
[13:36] <mi3> LinuxMonkey, not true, I am updating my packages yayyyy
[13:36] <wolfric> any suggestions for a console file manager like lfm?
[13:36] <mi3> I changed the servers, and the packages.bz2 files are being downloaded
[13:36] <iRabbit> dont feed the troll
[13:37] <zykotic10> wolfric: not sure what lfm is... but for console file manager i use mc
[13:37] <mi3> I am not a troll

[13:55] <crazydiamond> Hi. How do I find X config file, where used keyboard layouts are listed?
[13:55] <Sidewinder> digitalcake, Since no one else seems to know your answer, I'll take a WAG; it looks to me like possibly a bad install of "Duplicity". If that's so, perhaps a removal and reinstall of Duplicity. If it has worked for you before, I'm full of it. :-)
[13:55] <tado> hey all - my wireless is always disabled at startup, and i need to enable it manually. at the same time, my bluetooth is disabled and it shows "bluetooth is disable by hardware switch". i have no physical switch on my laptop, does anyone now how to fix it? here my rfkill list, after i had manually enabled wireless http://paste.ubuntu.com/966936/
[13:56] <digitalcake> Thanks Sidewinder
[13:56] <digitalcake> I will give that a try
[13:56] <magic_al> hi all. i am trying to mount an iso with execution permissions. but it wount work, can anybody give me a hand with that?
[13:56] <Sidewinder> Hope it helps. :)
[13:56] <gaelfx> tado: for bluetooth, you probably need to enable it in the BIOS
[13:57] <zykotic10> magic_al: is this for wine?  why is execute an issue, i wouldn't think it would be?
[13:57] <tado> gaelfx: anything specific i should be looking for?
[13:57] <fourmi-integree> any of you have experienced windows in a virtualBox on linux to run photoshop ??
[13:57] <gaelfx> tado: a Bluetooth setting in the BIOS
[13:57] <tado> gaelfx: fair enough :) before i restart, any idea for the wireless part?
[13:58] <gaelfx> tado: I'm not so great with wireless, sorry. But it might help other people help you if you told us what wireless card you have
[13:58] <LinuxMonkey> fourmi-integree: what version of photoshop?
[13:58] <Guest64918> Hello.    I'm on 12.04, then it crashed after 2 days. now im no longer able to login. my password is right, because when i intentionally 'mis-spell' my password it tells me its wrong. but when its right, it just reloads the login screeen -  PLEASE Help
[13:58] <gauravgrt1> can anyone help me in installing latest nvidia drivers for 12.04....i have nvidia "VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] "....additional drivers utility shows that there are no proprietary drivers are used in this system
[13:59] <magic_al> zykotic10: no it isnt for wine. i got a program for installation as an image. and the programm ist made for liunx. i mounted it with a programm and tried to install it. but i failed because the installer wasnt able to create folders. then i looked up the installer-manual and there is quoted that the mount has to be made with execution permissons
[14:00] <auronandace> !matlab | magic_al
[14:00] <magic_al> zykotic10: and that example: mount -o exec/media/cdrom0
[14:00] <zykotic10> magic_al: perhaps copy the ISO to you HD then?  that's odd, sorry, i don't have any "real" suggestions (but if it's trying to create folders on the ISO that obviously going to fail
[14:00] <magic_al> zykotic10: tried that already... same problem
[14:00] <zykotic10> magic_al: then it's not an issue with the ISO... good luck.  I'd try getting support from the program itself then.
[14:01] <magic_al> zykotic10: no it just tried to create a folder in the bin folder for installing the files
[14:01] <tado> gaelfx: where do i check that?
[14:01] <gaelfx> tado: lspci | grep Wireless
[14:01] <zykotic10> magic_al: are you running the installer with sudo (gksu if it's gui)?
[14:01] <Sidewinder> magic_al, Did you try to invoke the install program with sudo?
[14:01] <tado> gaelfx: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000

[14:02] <justdave> so I have a box that isn't detecting the display resolution properly.
[14:03] <justdave> I found this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html
[14:03] <justdave> and the steps given there for changing it temporarily work fine
[14:03] <fourmi-integree> any of you have experienced windows in a virtualBox on linux to run photoshop ?? photoshop version ? CS3 // portable maybe !
[14:03] <justdave> it says to make it permanent to put it into gdm's startup script
[14:03] <justdave> except 12.04 doesn't use gdm, it uses lightdm
[14:03] <justdave> where would I put that for lightdm?

[14:05] <justdave> the kernel seems to be figuring it out fine, grub's menu and the Ubuntu splash screen come up at the correct resolution.  It's just after Ubuntu itself takes over that it decides it can't figure out the resolution and uses a generic default (1024x768, which looks horrible on a 16:9 screen)

[14:08] <alexandrosgr123> what i do?
[14:08] <magic_al> zykotic10: thanks anyway :)
[14:08] <Sidewinder> Zig, Yes that's the one I use; somewhere in it's config files are all sorts of parameters. Did you read all of it's readme/info files?
[14:09] <Sidewinder> With vftpd, that is.
[14:09] <alexandrosgr123> please
[14:09] <Zig> Sidewinder: no, i guess i should though... I didnt have to the last time i set it up though. I really think its a matter of chown correctly
[14:09] <Sidewinder> Zig, I know nothing about Apache, never used it, sorry..

[14:18] <jbwiv> guys, at one time I used xinerama, so only Ubuntu 2d was supported. However, I've recently switched to an AMD card which supports my three monitors with compositing, so Gnome 3 is working well. I want to try Unity, but it no longer shows up in my lightdm menu...only Unity2d. How can I get Unity to show up again?
[14:18] <Zig> ubottu: Thanks, I'm on that brink of understanding them. Just a little more study will push me over.
[14:19] <dzragon> Im getting desperate. Not able to get more than 60hz on my Syncmaster 2233rz with Geforce 460SE 1gb. Anyone with the know-how care to help? I'd settle for anything above 75hz.
[14:19] <thomast12> Hello, on my Ubuntu Server public_html root is naviagable... IE people can browse all of the folders under it.  How do I fix this? Thanks
[14:19] <dzragon> Using Ubuntu 12.04 updated to date.
[14:19] <jrib> thomast12: that's a configuration option with apache.  See #httpd
[14:20] <a_gn> thomast12: turn off indexes in apache config file
[14:20] <Shogoot> llutz, didnt know xubuntu had xfcd
[14:20] <martian> thomast12: alter your site's config or put a .htaccess in to revoke that permission, but yes #httpd is the place
[14:20] <Sidewinder> !compile | m477_
[14:20] <thomast12> jrib a_gn martian ok thanks everyone I will take a look
[14:20] <Shogoot> llutz, could swear xubuntu was whole distro
[14:20] <dzragon> Gnome Classic, with no goodies used, Nvidia Settings as sudo gives a short flicker when i press "120hz" mode, but nothing changes and writing it to xorg.conf does nothing either
[14:21] <llutz> Shogoot: oops, i misread you (xfce)... whatis xfcd?
[14:21] <magic_al> how can i execute a scribt as root? when i enter "./install" the script is executed. when i type "sudo ./install" it returns "sudo: ./install: command not found"
[14:21] <Shogoot> the desktop....
[14:21] <llutz> Shogoot: what desktop? xfce you mean?
[14:21] <dzragon> Does it help to take the Ubuntu cd and bang it against ones head?
[14:21] <jrib> magic_al: what are you trying to accomplish?
[14:22] <martian> Shogoot: yeah, it's XFCE not XFCD
[14:22] <ezraw> after upgrading to 12.04, the little gear icon to logout/shut down is missing
[14:22] <Shogoot> argh. sorry typo....
[14:22] <alexandrosgr123> @OerHeks i selected precise univerce source code but didn't work,which one should i select ? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/337/screenshotfrom201205041.png/
[14:22] <llutz> Shogoot: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop                 will install all the things you might need for a working xfce-desktop
[14:22] <magic_al> jrib: i have a installation script of a programm. if i run it not as root the installer is not able to create the folder needed for the installation.
[14:22] <jrib> magic_al: ... what program?
[14:22] <Varsuchi> dzragon: that always helps -:)
[14:22] <magic_al> jrib: matlab
[14:22] <auronandace> !matlab | magic_al
[14:23] <dzragon> Varsuchi: hehe :P
[14:23] <vectory__> matlab for linux? :3
[14:23] <vectory__> am i dreaming?
[14:23] <jrib> magic_al: sudo ./install  should work if you are in the right directory.  If you're not sure what's wrong, try passing the full path to sudo: sudo /home/jrib/whatever/install
[14:23] <Avdut> Dude use scilab..
[14:23] <vectory__> noway
[14:24] <Avdut> its the ultmate option for
[14:24] <Avdut> matlab..
[14:24] <Sidewinder> Way.
[14:24] <Varsuchi> magic_a: sudo ./scriptname works...
[14:24] <dzragon> I managed to get it to work with another monitor about 4 years ago or more, then got it to work at 85hz (max for a monitor i had, crt, back 4 years ago) out-of-the-box, in Mandriva
[14:24] <dzragon> but not once since or before... :S
[14:24] <Avdut> Its open source ..
[14:24] <Pici> !enter
[14:24] <Avdut> scilab...
[14:25] <OerHeks> alexandrosgr123, what did you do to get this error ?
[14:26] <magic_al> Varsuchi: no it does not. as i said i tried that already.... "sudo ./install"
[14:27] <magic_al> Varsuchi: alex@alex-laptop:~/Matlab714_MacUnix_iso$ sudo ./install
[14:27] <magic_al> sudo: ./install: command not found
[14:27] <vectory__> magic_al: is matlab for linux free?
[14:27] <Varsuchi> are you certain that install is in that director?
[14:27] <Varsuchi> directory
[14:27] <magic_al> vectory__: no i got it from my university
[14:27] <vectory__> oi
[14:28] <Varsuchi> i know the command syntax works, i use it all the time.
[14:28] <magic_al> Varsuchi: yeah i looked it up several times
[14:28] <Varsuchi> try:
[14:28] <DasEi> magic_al: set as executable ? which file-ending ? a tarball ?
[14:28] <Varsuchi> sudo chmod +x install
[14:28] <vectory__> magic_al: did you read the README?
[14:28] <Varsuchi> then
[14:28] <Varsuchi> sudo ./install
[14:28] <magic_al> DasEi: how can i set it as executable?
[14:28] <vectory__> chmod
[14:28] <Varsuchi> chmod +x install
[14:29] <DasEi> see Varsuchi, I lean back , thx Varsuchi
[14:29] <vectory__> Varsuchi: u+x ;D
[14:29] <Varsuchi> +x would work.. lol
[14:29] <magic_al> chmod: changing permissions of `install': Function not implemented
[14:29] <DasEi> magic_al: as root oc
[14:29] <magic_al> DasEi: lehn dich zurück ;)
[14:29] <DasEi> :)
[14:30] <KingBeast> good morning everyone
[14:30] <Varsuchi> magic_al is this directory that you are working in, is it writable?
[14:30] <magic_al> chmod: cannot access `install': Permission denied
[14:30] <vectory__> shouldnt he be using checkinstall?
[14:30] <magic_al> Varsuchi: it is a mounted iso-image
[14:31] <Varsuchi> magic: i would move it to a temp directory, and then run all the commands we have suggested.
[14:31] <vectory__> run `bash ./install'
[14:31] <vectory__> ... to circumvent the permission bit
[14:31] <Bender> any help? I can't boot a fresh installed 12.04 cause of video card problem
[14:31] <vectory__> install is just a bash script after all
[14:32] <Varsuchi> good idea vectory
[14:32] <vectory__> Bender: sure, why dont you be a bit more precise
[14:32] <llutz> if its just a bash-script, why don't you run it simply with "sudo bash ./install"?
[14:32] <Shogoot> nice. xubuntu in use with xfce. Is it possible to delete all finle taht make gnome and unity work and not get them as option at booting? i dont want to get back to the unity thingy
[14:32] <dashavoo> I wish to express my sadness that the 32bit release is still the default download option... that was a waste of an hour downloading :(
[14:32] <vectory__> llutz: thats what i said
[14:32] <vectory__> minus the sudo
[14:33] <Sidewinder> !nomodset | Bender
[14:33]  * dashavoo will pay more attention in 6 months time
[14:33] <magic_al> vectory__: script starts but still cant create the needed folder
[14:33] <Varsuchi> dashbvoo i almost did that too
[14:33] <vectory__> magic_al: is there a readme file?
[14:33] <Varsuchi> magic: i bet its trying to create a folder in the archive. you need to extract the files locally and run the commands we suggested.
[14:34] <leal> why they changed download back to 32bit
[14:34] <Bender> vectory__, ok: I have fresh installed ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop with 2 graphic card (integrated+discrete) and I can install only with acpi=off. Now I try to boot but adding acpi=off avoid the kernel panic but I have problem with the video card. It fails loading the drivers i suppose.
[14:34] <vectory__> Varsuchi, magic_al: should be enough to cd / && sudo bash /path/to/install
[14:35] <xuserx> ccan you help me to fix this error > im using ubuntu customization kit > error:Failed to copy resolv.conf, error=1 >https://bugs.launchpad.net/uck/+bug/946480
[14:35] <vectory__> Bender: or a conflict in the drivers, can you get to text console?
[14:35] <Bender> Sidwinder, nomodeset doesn't work :( it sasi the "the interrupt for the nvidia gpu at PCI :3:0:0 appears to ge edge-triggered....etc etc
[14:35] <Shogoot> nice. xubuntu in use with xfce. Is it possible to delete all the files that make gnome and unity work and not get them as option at booting? i dont want to get back to the unity thingy
[14:35] <llutz> cd / && ...    funny ideas today
[14:36] <Bender> vectory__, yes booting with acpi=off in a recovery mode, and then accessing to a root shell. Wanna me to do that?
[14:36] <magic_al> ok all: i copied all files within the mounted image to my hard drive and now i was able to execute the install script with sudo. works now....
[14:36] <vectory__> llutz: :S
[14:36] <dashavoo> xuserx: I dealt with that the other day, let me launch up the vm to remind myself what I did
[14:36] <magic_al> thank you anyway
[14:36] <isnnnn> I just started a release upgrade over ssh. will the upgrade continue even if I close the ssh session?
[14:36] <auronandace> !purexfce | Shogoot
[14:36] <isnnnn> should have asked before :p
[14:36] <xuserx> dashavoo: can you help me please?
[14:36] <Carpe|Diem> I have installed Ubuntu Business desktop and it contains VMware View 5. However, I cannot find VMware View 5 for other Ubuntu releases. What the deal with this? Can't I obtain the package?
[14:37] <romica> please! how I can recovery data in LibreOffice Calc. I close without save.
[14:37] <llutz> isnnnn: if you haven't used tmux/screen, no
[14:37] <dashavoo> xuserx: I will, give me a moment
[14:37] <Shogoot> auronandace, thanks man!
[14:37] <xuserx> ok
[14:37] <vectory__> Bender: no, i was just asking to see what options you have. youll need root console to solve the problem, i guess, to run stuff like lsmod and nopaste it
[14:37] <Varsuchi> told ya :)
[14:37] <Varsuchi> it cant create files in a mounted disk image..
[14:38] <nischayn22>  HI, could anyone please answer to this Question http://askubuntu.com/questions/124119/has-the-ubuntu-heating-problem-for-sony-vaio-users-been-solved
[14:38] <dashavoo> xuserx: I'll type the instructions in a PM if that suits you?
[14:38] <Sidewinder> romica, If you closed without saving, you're probably outta' luck. :(
[14:38] <xuserx> ok
[14:38] <vectory__> isnnnn: if its running in screen or via nohup, yes
[14:39] <glebaron> waelkd, http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-August/005071.html
[14:39] <Bender> vectory__, ok I'm on it...but how to use nopaste?
 there is some to do
[14:39] <vectory__> romica: turn of "hide files" in file explorer, maybe there is ~unnamed or whatever, tmp save
[14:39] <vectory__> Bender: sudo apt-get install nopaste; lsmod|nopaste
[14:40] <Sidewinder> romica, Perhaps it saved a 'temp' copy; go to File, Open, and see if anything pops up.
[14:40] <Varsuchi> anyone know of a good free dynamic dns service?
[14:40] <vectory__> dyndns?
[14:40] <Pici> Varsuchi: Not really on-topic for here, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:40] <vectory__> only i know
[14:40] <Varsuchi> is it free?
[14:40] <Bender> vectory__, pastie.org/3859319
[14:41] <Varsuchi> it looks like its not free. I seem to remember it being free
 there is nothing there File-Open
[14:41] <dbtmro> hi guys. how about the new nvidia driver...
[14:42] <vectory__> romica: change to view all files
[14:42] <Sidewinder> romica, I don't know what else to suggest, other than what vector said, above ^.
[14:42] <Sidewinder> Sorry.
[14:42] <dbtmro> still not working properly
[14:43] <wiehan> Hi. I am running Precise and had pretty much a clean setup. Then ran pppoeconf to setup my ppoe/dsl as per usual - it worked fine until I rebooted. Now my wired network isn't even working, i.e. it says: "unmanaged" Please assit me
[14:43] <vectory__> Bender: dont show it to me, i have no idea what to do with it -_- i only know thats where your loaded drivers are listet, or modules better to say
[14:44] <vectory__> Bender: would be interesting which cards you have, anyhow
[14:44] <Progster> I just upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04, and whilst my nx client can log in to my ubuntu box, it can't launch unity 2d (I've checked all of the posts about this, and I've unity 2d working fine before). Anyone else run into this?
[14:45] <Varsuchi> Progster: any error messages? etc?
[14:45] <compdoc> wiehan, maybe pppoeconf disabled network-manager
 please, where is  "hide files" in file explorer

[14:47] <vectory__> romica: in nautilus: edit>settings>"show hidden files", dont know the exact english term, mine is german :>
[14:47] <Sidewinder> romica, vectory__ wants you to turn on "Show Hidden Files", in your file mgr. program.

[14:56] <Progster> anyone can help me with this nx issue?
[14:57] <compdoc> wiehan, that all looks ok, but you might try setting managed=true in /etc/networkmanager/networkmanager.conf and rebooting
[14:57] <compdoc> if that doesnt help, change it back
[14:57] <wiehan> compdoc: ok, will try thx
[14:58] <glebaron> Progster, how did you originally install the freenx that you are currently using?
[14:58] <Progster> I believe it was thru a script. It was such a while ago that I honestly don't remember
[14:58] <MirkoKa> what does grub's kernel line option $vt_handoff do exactly? with it the virtual terminals (tty) are all black
[14:59] <glebaron> Progster, well you can try: sudo apt-get --purge remove freenx-server

[15:01] <DanielConvissor> figured out how to enable automatic reboot for unattended upgrades.  but when the reboot happens, it's immediate.  is there a way to make the reboot wait x minutes?
[15:02] <Varsuchi> the more i dig into unity the more I like it.
[15:02] <qwd> Can someone help me access an encrypted lvm partition from the Ubuntu live cd? I already unlocked it in nautilus but when i click the lvm partition it says "error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root"
[15:02] <Varsuchi> its actually a pretty nice interface.
[15:02] <compdoc> unity is getting better with each release
[15:02] <samek_> i have newly formated ext4 on lvm /dev/mapper/abak-home and it's already 27G space used.. i have nothing on this partition except lost+found and another directory named samo which takes 24KB.. df -h reports this /dev/mapper/abak-home  1.8T   27G  1.8T   2% /home
[15:02] <Varsuchi> hold super key (windows key) and hit right twice
[15:02] <samek_> any idea?

[15:03] <christafo> hey guys, having a real hard time getting radeon x1600 to work with 12.04
[15:03] <christafo> any ideas?
 I cant go on, I dont know were to se it. I found the folder name it: .libreoffice and inside is another folder name it: 3 and inside is : user and inside are many others
[15:03] <MirkoKa> DanielConvissor: try the shutdown command like "shutdown -r +10" will reboot in 10 minutes
[15:03] <Varsuchi> actually just hold super key
[15:04] <ikonia> Varsuchi: who are you talking to ?
 I can se there is one name it: backup that is empty
[15:04] <christafo> radeon x1600 and 12.04, advice anyone?
[15:04] <ikonia> christafo: check what ati xorg drivers support it
[15:04] <mi3> hello
[15:04] <ikonia> christafo: that would be the first port of call for me
[15:04] <Varsuchi> ikonia: no one in general. is that not allowed ?
[15:04] <christafo> how do i do that?
[15:04] <bobweaver> paste.ubuntu.com/967079   << /var/log/X.org.0.log
[15:04] <ikonia> Varsuchi: it's just noise
[15:04] <mi3> how can I remove unity on 12.04?
[15:05] <ikonia> christafo: look on the ati linux website
[15:05] <blocky> Does anyone know if it's possible to get three finger tap to emulate a simultaneous mouse button 1 and 2 click, aka paste
[15:05] <ikonia> mi3: open the package manager and remove it, same as any other package
[15:05] <bazhang> !notunity | mi3
[15:05] <Sidewinder> Varsuchi, Also, it makes the channel more difficult to follow. :-)
 but going back in 3 there is a text doc name it: .lock and this doc contain many lines, like adresses
[15:05] <DanielConvissor> MirkoKa: yes, that works when doing it manually.  but i'm asking about the unattended-upgrades system.  i want it to reboot automatically if needed.  but want it to call +10 so users get some warning.
[15:05] <mi3> ikonia, I am installing mate packages, I dont want gnome fallback as well as unity, any suggestions?
[15:06] <ikonia> mi3: remove what you don't want
[15:06] <MirkoKa> blocky: what's wrong wth Shift-Insert ?
[15:06] <mi3> ikonia, ok, so the same applies for gnome? hmm
[15:06] <Pitel> how can I assign user to group?
[15:07] <ikonia> mi3: to any software within ubunut, you don't want it, uninstall the package
[15:07] <Pitel> It seems impossible with current user management settings.
[15:07] <blocky> MirkoKa, thanks I didn't know about that
[15:07] <mi3> ok

[15:08] <mi3> gnome fallback mode is similar to gnome 2 or gnome 3? any suggestions?
[15:08] <ikonia> mi3: suggestions about what ?
[15:08] <mi3> gnome fallback mode is similar to gnome 2 or gnome 3?
[15:09] <sergiu-dev> hello
[15:09] <mi3> or is it something else?
[15:09] <auronandace> mi3: gnome-fallback is meant to be similar to gnome2
[15:09] <ldiamond> I installed 12.04 and I'm going mad because of Unity. Would anyone please tell me how I can add a custom application shortcut to the launcher? An application with options, parameters and all...
[15:09] <mi3> ok...
[15:09] <ikonia> mi3: neither really, it's a fall back mode for gnome, the base concept is around the gnome2 legacy layout, but it's still built on gnome3
[15:09] <sergiu-dev> i want to install ubuntu for example, but doese it have the hide-tray botton to hide all windows ?
[15:09] <ikonia> mi3: don't depend on gnome-fallback though
[15:09] <mi3> ok......thanks, I am installing mate, love it, then I will remove unity
[15:09] <modernbob> ldiamond: you can use classic mode and keep unity.. looks just like old gnome 2
[15:09] <sergiu-dev> like in windows 7
[15:10] <ezraw> after upgrading to 12.04, the little gear icon to logout/shut down is missing. anyone know how to get it back?
[15:10] <ldiamond> modernbob, but is it stable and all?
[15:10] <modernbob> I am using it right now
[15:10] <ldiamond> modernbob, how do I use classic mode then?
[15:11] <modernbob> hold on
[15:11] <iceroot> !classic | ldiamond
[15:11] <iceroot> !nounity | ldiamond
[15:11] <WoahImaShark> zykotic10: I tried using the nomodeset thing from a 12.04 CD, but still had the same problem as before
[15:12] <mi3> ldiamond, use mate, its a fork of gnome 2
[15:12] <mi3> I am doing the same thing, ldiamond
[15:12] <Sidewinder> iceroot, Do those factoids also apply to 12.04?
[15:12] <ldiamond> mi3, I read that mate is buggy
[15:12] <ikonia> mi3: please don't tell people to use forks of gnome 2 - gnome 2 is DEAD
[15:13] <mi3> ldiamond, well, the latest release version 1.2 has loads of bug fixes, and I have experimented with it on my friend's pc, it works perfectly, so I am trying it on my pc
[15:13] <mi3> ikonia, err ok
[15:13] <ikonia> ldiamond: don't waste your time as gnome2 is dead
[15:13] <mi3> ikonia, but the fork is not dead lol
[15:14] <ikonia> mi3: yes, it is
[15:14] <vectory__> yeah, lol
[15:14] <K4k> I'm experiencing a strange issue where Thunderbird does not show up in the Alt-Tab switcher. I'm searching through launchpad and have not found any reports of this issue, has anyone else seen this behavior?
[15:14] <ikonia> mi3: the code base is dead
[15:14] <modernbob> ldiamond: http://scottlinux.com/2011/03/05/ubuntu-11-04-change-from-unity-to-classic-gnome/
[15:14] <vectory__> K4k: is it minimized to tray?
[15:14] <mi3> err, ikonia , atleast the mate guys are bringing back the dead
[15:14] <Sidewinder> ldiamond, Just in case the factoids that iceroot gave you don't apply to 12.04, you can see here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/
[15:14] <ikonia> mi3: the code base is DEAD,
[15:14] <mi3> ikonia, and improving it... :)
[15:14] <krababbel> mi3: heresy
[15:14] <K4k> vectory__: no, I keep it up at all times on virtual desktop 1 in my right most monitor.
[15:15] <bobweaver> ikonia: stop being so hard on people
[15:15] <ikonia> mi3: never mind, you don't understand, use it and prepare to be disapointed
[15:15] <ikonia> bobweaver: I'm sorry what ?
[15:15] <modernbob> Sidewinder: thats a good site too
[15:15] <mi3> ikonia, you enjoy your meals with unity, I will enjoy mine with mate or lxde , am getting comfy with both lol
[15:15] <Sidewinder> modern, Prolly be the one I use when moving from 10.04 to 12.04. :-)
[15:16] <blocky> anybody tried the new single-window gimp?
[15:16] <K4k> vectory__: I found the one about it being minimized in launchpad but I don't know if this is related or not since I'm not minimizing it. And the window does re-appear when I go to the mail notifiation in the top right corner and click on the folder with a new email notification.
 I cant go on, I dont know were to se it. I found the folder name it: .libreoffice and inside is another folder name it: 3 and inside is : user and inside are many others.  I can se there is one name it: backup that is empty.  but going back in 3 there is a text doc name it: .lock and this doc contain many lines, like adresses
[15:16] <ikonia> mi3: I don't use unity
[15:16] <mi3> ikonia, then which DE?
[15:16] <neattoast> !offtopic | blocky
[15:16] <ikonia> it doesn't matter what I use
[15:16] <MirkoKa> DanielConvissor: seems the immediate reboot is hardcoded, but you can probably easily change it. see file /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade at line 871 (ubuntu 12.04), the line that says subprocess.call(["/sbin/reboot"]) replace reboot with the shutdown command
[15:16] <BlouBlou> how can I see my scanner's ip adress?
[15:16] <vectory__> K4k: thats what i ment by rtay
[15:16] <bobweaver> BlouBlou:  angry ip scanner ?
[15:16] <vectory__> tray*
[15:17] <mi3> ok, so enjoy your experience on some other DE, we will sit back and enjoy mate, even if you think its dead
[15:17] <BlouBlou> bobbyaldol: no, I'm installing it and I need to know it
[15:17] <blocky> oh sorry, is there a gimp channel?
[15:17] <iceroot> mi3: it is dead because of no security updates just fixing to get it stable
[15:17] <bobweaver> blocky:  on the gnome network there is
[15:17] <K4k> vectory__: it's not "minimized" it shows in that tray icon by default when opened
[15:17] <iceroot> blocky: irc.gimp.net  #gimp
[15:17] <mi3> iceroot, is that so? I am getting chills man
[15:17] <ldiamond> Wow, the super key press and hold shortcuts don't even display anymore...
[15:18] <ezraw> ldiamond: me too
[15:18] <mi3> chills are running down the spine now, ikonia , iceroot
[15:18] <ezraw> stuff is just missing
[15:18] <mi3> ikonia, iceroot should I cancel the package downloads??
[15:18] <mi3> :(
[15:18] <ikonia> mi3: do what you want
[15:18] <ikonia> mi3: you know bnest
[15:18] <ikonia> best
[15:19] <mi3> iceroot says we wont get updates from mate developers, ikonia
[15:19] <mi3> is that true?
[15:19] <iceroot> mi3: no security updates
[15:19] <BlouBlou> so, is it possible to check a scanner's up adresss? (it's a step to install it)
[15:19] <ikonia> mi3: do your research
[15:19] <WoahImaShark> Alrighty, so new problem... Every time I run the Ubuntu 12.04 installer off of my flash drive, be it through the try ubuntu or other option, it just goes through the installation like normal and then I reboot it acts like it was never installed.
[15:19] <BlouBlou> ip*
[15:19] <iceroot> BlouBlou: see the manual of the scanner
[15:19] <mi3> ikonia, iceroot can you meet up in offtopic channel, if possible?
[15:19] <neattoast> WoahImaShark: Try reimaging the flash drive
[15:20] <bobweaver> BlouBlou:  did you even look at angry i[p scanner ?  there are many more
[15:20] <neattoast> WoahImaShark: If that doesn't work, try re downloading the image and then reflashing the flash drive.
[15:20] <Quantum_Ion> I will wait 2 months to upgrade to 12.04 LTS it needs to marinate a little longer
[15:21] <Progster> ok I reinstalled and now even though I can confirm that freenx is running, now I can't even connect to it :(
[15:21] <BlouBlou> bobweaver: have never tried it, could you tell me how to?
[15:21] <compdoc> Quantum_Ion, works well so far
[15:21] <bobweaver> BlouBlou:  google angry ipscanner it is super easy to install
[15:21] <c3l> I have a custom script being run from /etc/xdg/autostart/custom.desktop, I know that the script is recognized because it partly works. but some commands do not seem to get executed, for instance xset, and xrandr commands. however when I run this script manually it all gets executed as expected. what might the problem be?
[15:22] <bobweaver> BlouBlou:  I have no gui at this yime or I would make you a video
[15:22] <bobweaver> time*
[15:22] <Quantum_Ion> compdoc, Final release is after July 1st I heard
[15:22] <neattoast> c3l: Did you run the commands in background?
[15:22] <ldiamond> gnome-panel saves the day!
[15:22] <neattoast> or mate
[15:22] <kapz> hi! my ubuntu install(s) are lagging after updates, any idea to pinpoint issues?
[15:22] <ldiamond> Did anyone care to tell Shuttleworth that Unity is junk?
[15:23] <neattoast> it's not.
[15:23] <Quantum_Ion> kapz, What version ?
[15:23] <bobweaver> !ot | IdleOne:
[15:23] <ldiamond> neattoast, seriously,  can't even have a custom application launcher.
[15:23] <ldiamond> neattoast, even windows XP allows that.
[15:23] <kapz> 12.04 64 bit...although 32 bit is doing fine...
[15:23] <Quantum_Ion> ldiamond, That is why I dont want to upgrade yet damn Unity
[15:23] <sipior> ldiamond: complain elsewhere.
[15:23] <MarcN> Does Ctrl-Alt-0 work for anyone? Should minimize a window, but doesn't
[15:23] <neattoast> ldiamond: true...
[15:23] <neattoast> ldiamond: but neither does gnome-3
[15:23] <bobweaver> 1diamond google unity quicklist plz
[15:23] <Quantum_Ion> kapz, That is why I am waiting until final release of 12.04 LTS After July 1, 2012
[15:24] <BlouBlou> bobweaver: don't worry, I found a good post, it doesn't seem very hard to install. :)
[15:24] <oCean> bobweaver: stop sending people to google please
[15:24] <Quantum_Ion> Everyone always complains about Unity
[15:24] <bobweaver> oCean:  Oo
[15:24] <whoever> hi all how do i add a scrip to start at boot i tried sudo update-rc.d <scriptName> defaults and i got a responce that i had already added it, but when i restarted the daemon wasn't started. can someone assist
[15:24] <kapz> Quantum_Ion, you lost me there....I thought what I am using is the stable version the LTS one.
[15:25] <Quantum_Ion> kapz, Yeah but it needs to marinate for a while like 2 -3 months
[15:25] <kapz> oh, the Mint way...
[15:25] <Whitor-> Hi all. Having a problem with the Dash. It doesn't have the scroll handle when I expand groups. my other windows (such as this xchat window) do have the scroll handle. Its not a huge problem, but it is pretty annoying.  Any ideas?
[15:25] <c3l> neattoast: no, however im not sure I understand what you mean, I simply listed my commands in an executable file with first line #! /bin/bash, each command on a separate line. is this doomed to fail?
[15:25] <ldiamond> bobweaver, are we back in the stone age?
[15:25] <bencc> how can I write to a file as root? The following doesn't work: sudo echo "something" > /some/protected/file
[15:25] <neattoast> c3l: try putting an & at the end of each line.
[15:26] <Quantum_Ion> I think bob weaver is an autobot not a deceptacon
[15:26] <iceroot> BlouBlou: echo is only working with tee if you need sudo
[15:26] <iceroot> BlouBlou: sorry wrong nick
[15:26] <neattoast> bencc: sudo su, and then your commands
[15:26] <kapz> but I agree with you...ubuntu is effed up now, it installed nicely on one laptop but on other one it was a big pain in the ass
[15:26] <iceroot> bencc: echo is only working with tee if you need sudo
[15:26] <gvo> #rpm.org
[15:26] <Quantum_Ion> bobweaver more then meets the eye ?
[15:26] <iceroot> neattoast: please dont suggest sudo su because its wrong
[15:26] <oCean> bencc: echo test | sudo tee -a somefile
[15:26] <bobweaver> >
[15:26] <Quantum_Ion> it's sudo -s
[15:26] <bobweaver> ?
[15:26] <Sidewinder> bencc, Try gksudo gedit 'the-file-name'.
[15:27] <Whitor-> I have the thin bar indicating that there is material to be scrolled through ... and if I click precisely, I can grab it.. but the handle that pops up on other windows would be nice to have
[15:27] <c3l> neattoast: thanks, Ill try that
[15:27] <Quantum_Ion> Autobots and Deceptacons
[15:27] <MarcN> bencc, because of the way the command is parse.  Try this:   sudo "echo 'something' > /some/protected/file"
[15:27] <Quantum_Ion> sudo -s nano is more like it
[15:27] <neattoast> icroot: just su then :)
[15:28] <bobweaver> MarcN:  you need permissions looks like drop to root with sudo -i
[15:28] <iceroot> neattoast: root is not enabled by default so su is not working
[15:28] <iceroot> neattoast: we already showed the correct solution
[15:28] <MarcN> bencc, bash treated it as: sudo echo "something"  (so the echo was in root context) and then the unpriv bash did the output redirect to a file you don't have permissino for
[15:28] <neattoast> iceroot: I know.
[15:29] <oCean> MarcN: your suggestion will not work, I already suggested bencc to use the pipe-and-tee option
[15:29] <c3l> neattoast: that didnt fix it
[15:30] <Quantum_Ion> It cant be that complicated
[15:30] <neattoast> c3l: you want these commands to run on boot?
[15:30] <bencc> oCean, MarcN: this works for me:       sudo su -c 'bla bla'
[15:31] <c3l> neattoast: are they at boot? I thought they where at login? maybe they are too early in the login stage, so that my options get overridden by my desktop environment?
[15:31] <neattoast> c3l: sorry, i mean login
[15:31] <iceroot> bencc: can we stop this very wrong sudo su thing?
[15:31] <oCean> bencc: echo test | sudo tee -a somefile  is the way to go
[15:31] <laurence> lozzer2012
[15:32] <c3l> neattoast: the important thing is that I want to set my screenlayot, im running with two monitors and run xrandr to set the screens correctly aligned. the script works if I run it manually.
[15:32] <neattoast> c3l:  what about .xinitrc
[15:32] <Guest54883> whats all this about?
[15:32] <Sidewinder> This?
[15:32] <sirriffsalot> I'm using KVIrc, but am having difficulty disabling these notifications of who is joining... Where do I do this exactly? I have the notifyer turned off completely and yet it goes on
[15:32] <Guest54883> is anyone else hear running jolicloud?
[15:32] <oCean> Guest54883: this is the ubuntu tech support channel
[15:32] <neattoast> !help > Guest54883
[15:33] <spartan2276> How can I run this application kde-config-tablet?
[15:33] <c3l> neattoast: I also want the script to run for all users. I think .xinitrc is user-specific, right? however, should I use .xinitrc for single user-configurations?
[15:33] <drPoO> can anybody point me to a tutorial for formatting a drive into ntfs from the command line
[15:33] <Guest54883> gonna go over 2 windows 7 cya
[15:34] <Quantum_Ion> Guest54883, They use Ubuntu here
[15:34] <bencc> oCean: ok. thanks
[15:36] <ikonia> ab bobweaver
[15:37] <lazyfingers> is anyone able to explain why setsockopt requires a pointer to an option's value and a size of the variable with option's value? why is it necessary to put value into separate variable at all? thanks in advance.
[15:37] <salahgo> Hi all, i just made a fresh install if Ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop, didn't install pretty much stuff, updated it to the new kernel 3.2.0-24, rebooted it. After boot, i couldn't load any GUI nor desktop
[15:38] <salahgo> even startx fails
[15:38] <Sidewinder> drPoO, Formatting ntfs is done best from Windows, I believe. Not that it won't work with gparted.
[15:38] <lazyfingers> sorry, mischan
[15:38] <salahgo> any idea please?
[15:38] <Quantum_Ion> ikonia, haha I always thought bob weaver was a bot
[15:38] <trekkme> i wanna mount a drive to my home using the volumemanager, got a fstab entry for it, but vou
[15:39] <trekkme> lume manager keeps mounting it to /media
[15:40] <Chingy> Hiya - I'd like to get some help with a printer issue.  I have a printed which has a role of thermal paper  (80mm wide) but when I go to print, it tries to print it as an a4 page.  Which means I have a column of left hand text. Can anyone help? :(
[15:40] <c3l> I have a script that runs xrandr to set up my display layout. how can I run this script automatically when I log in? also, how do I make this script run for all users?
[15:41] <Quantum_Ion> Chingy, How old is your printer ?
[15:41] <Chingy> brand new
[15:41] <Chingy> its an Epson T20
[15:41] <salahgo> Any idea why xserver won't start after this last update of kernel?
[15:41] <salahgo> the 3.2.0-24?
[15:43] <MirkoKa> c3l: putting a script that calls xrandr into  custom.desktop worked for me. maybe your desktop environment or gfx card configurator (like nvidia.settings) reset it again
[15:43] <iceroot> salahgo: just a guess, you installed an nvidia/amd driver and maybe compiled it by hand and now it does not fit to the kernel-version it was build for
[15:44] <salahgo> lool bingo!
[15:44] <Chingy> an idea on the printer front?
[15:44] <salahgo> i uninstall it?
[15:45] <MirkoKa> lazyfingers: probably because there are many options (with different sizes) and the function should have dozends of parameters. anyway, better ask a C or network programming group
[15:45] <the-erm> Does anyone know of a way to set power-settings where your machine will auto suspend if it's inactive for say ... 20 minutes.
[15:46] <the-erm> xfce has the settings available, but appears unity doesn't.
[15:46] <compdoc> when my 12.04 boots, the lcd screen shows a message that the rez or refresh rate is wrong. but when its finished booting, the logon page shows up fine. Is there a way to see or change the screen setting the system uses while its booting?
[15:47] <c3l> MirkoKa: hm, interesting. would you mind sharing your script and custom.desktop? also, what desktop environment are you running? I am not using 3rd party drivers, and I run xubuntu.
[15:47] <salahgo> iceroot: how come i can't startx in the previous version of the kernel?
[15:48] <SmasherX> I have repaired a failed upgrade except for the fact that several disk drives are locked - I can't read them and it says I dont have permission; Also Disk Utility is blank - no drives shown even root (ubuntu)
[15:48] <drPoO> I want to format a HDD that will be readable by a Windoze machine. Should I use mkfs.vfat or mkfs.msdos ??
[15:49] <salahgo> iceroot: amazing! u just knew what i did, & now that i unistalled it, it works awesomely!! Thanks man! ^^
[15:50] <longtail> drPoO: you should be using NTFS
[15:50] <iceroot> salahgo: try always to use the driver from the repo instead of selfbuild drivers against a specific kernel version
[15:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hey guys, how do i get fsync on ubuntu? Or is it not available
[15:51] <iceroot> WhereIsMySpoon: rsync?
[15:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> no
[15:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> fsync
[15:51] <salahgo> iceroot: copy that! Thank you! ;)
[15:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> rsync is something completely different
[15:51] <salahgo> Cyall!
[15:51] <drPoO> longtail, i am doing this on an old 10.04 server without internet connection and all i have is mkfs.vfat and mkfs.msdos
[15:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> Basically what I was looking for was a way to call the sync command on a remote device
[15:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> say a mass storage device
[15:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> and i was told fsync works
[15:52] <MirkoKa> c3l: http://pastebin.com/gqQfADPZ
[15:52] <drPoO> longtail, it really doesnt matter to me
[15:52] <drPoO> longtail, do you have a good tutorial you could point me to
[15:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> i can do 'man fsync' but the actual 'fsync' command doesnt exist
[15:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> :S
[15:52] <longtail> drPoO: ah, well since your data is not important and you feel the need to use something without journaling which can lead to data loss, go ahead.
[15:53] <c3l> MirkoKa: cool, thanks
[15:53] <iceroot> WhereIsMySpoon: gnulib has fsync functiion
[15:53] <iceroot> WhereIsMySpoon: gnulib: /usr/share/gnulib/lib/fsync.c
[15:53] <iceroot> WhereIsMySpoon: http://linux.die.net/man/2/fsync
[15:54] <WhereIsMySpoon> iceroot, hm ok ill install that, but why can i do man fsync and not the fsync command?
[15:54] <iceroot> WhereIsMySpoon: fsync is a function not a command
[15:54] <Guest92294> guys how to give permission to a folder, i want to use it on vm machine?
[15:54] <WhereIsMySpoon> Guest92294, chmod
[15:54] <iceroot> WhereIsMySpoon: the manpage says fsync() not fsync
[15:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> iceroot, er
[15:55] <MirkoKa> WhereIsMySpoon: the man page is in the manpages-dev package
[15:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> soo
[15:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> how can i use it
[15:55] <Daghdha> Hi, igetting a 'virtualbox - error in suplibOsInit' error.
[15:55] <MirkoKa> WhereIsMySpoon: C programming
[15:55] <Daghdha> :(
[15:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> oh
[15:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> i see

[15:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> well
[15:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> that isnt useful
[15:55] <FloodBot1> WhereIsMySpoon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:55] <MirkoKa> WhereIsMySpoon: what are you trying to do?
[15:56] <tsimpson> WhereIsMySpoon: please lay off the enter key
[15:56] <WhereIsMySpoon> MirkoKa, sync a remote device
[15:56] <WhereIsMySpoon> as in i use 'sync /media/blah' and it runs the 'sync' command on that device
[15:56] <MirkoKa> WhereIsMySpoon: a storage device? you perhaps mean the rsync command?
[15:56] <WhereIsMySpoon> rsync is for pushing files to a device
[15:57] <WhereIsMySpoon> afaik
[15:57] <SmasherX> Anybody know how to help reattach disks after a failed ubuntu upgrade from oo to pp?
[15:57] <Progster> ok I'm back to where I was before
[15:57] <WhereIsMySpoon>        rsync — a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
[15:57] <iceroot> WhereIsMySpoon: rsync is also a daemon
[15:57] <Progster> I can connect, and I'm launching ubuntu-2d, but I still can't see the freakin sidebar
[15:57] <WhereIsMySpoon> iceroot, ..ok?
[15:57] <Progster> is there a way to force the sidebar to come up, or to detect if it's not loading?
[15:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> iceroot, i dont know much about daemons
[15:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> other than that they're for helping processes/programs to do stuff
[15:58] <DanielConvissor> MirkoKa: thank you for the idea of changing the reboot command to shutdown in the unattended-upgrade script.  guess i'll do that for now and contact the file author / open a ticket to add an option for adding a delay.
[15:59] <lgl> hello, i have a little problem
[15:59] <lgl> when i try to boot my ubuntu 12.04 i just get to tty1 login promt
[15:59] <lgl> not to X
[15:59] <MirkoKa> WhereIsMySpoon: I still don't get what you are trying. syncing the files of your local and remote machine (like synching address books) or flush disk buffers to ensure that files are really written?
[15:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> MirkoKa, flush disk buffers
[16:00] <lgl> i press ctrl alt f7. and it is halted
[16:00] <lgl> now im in the terminal

[16:00] <gauravgrt1> QUESTION :how can i get the nvidia drivers for my graphics card GeForce GT 540M...
[16:01] <MirkoKa> WhereIsMySpoon: ssh remote_machine sync will call the sync command on the remote machine, of course you need to have ssh installed and configured
[16:01] <shib112> @lgl...try restarting gdm
[16:01] <lgl> its is stuck at checking battery state
[16:01] <WhereIsMySpoon> MirkoKa, its a mass storage device
[16:01] <WhereIsMySpoon> I can't ssh to it
[16:01] <MirkoKa> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, sorry don't know
[16:01] <Guest92294> use additional drivers
[16:01] <lgl> shib112: i tryed to restart the computer.. same.. how do i restart gdm?
[16:01] <WhereIsMySpoon> sudo service gdm restart
[16:02] <WhereIsMySpoon> @lgl
[16:02] <lgl> ok
[16:02] <lgl> i try
[16:02] <auronandace> lgl: 12.04 uses lightdm by default
[16:02] <WhereIsMySpoon> lgl, and thats the same for any service, 'sudo service <service_name> restart'
[16:02] <WhereIsMySpoon> you can change 'restart' for 'start', or 'stop' as well
[16:03] <WhereIsMySpoon> MirkoKa, D:

[16:09] <rollitup> I installed apache2 and when i try to start it gives me an error saying Unable to resolve host rollitup
[16:09] <Daghdha> Hi, i am having some issues and i find someposts and the error also says to run this command: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[16:09] <rollitup> can someone help
[16:10] <Daghdha> But after checking the vboxdrv doesn't exist there at all
[16:10] <wylde_> gauravgrt1: ok, I have one suggestion before I suggest the drivers from nvidia.com. You could try 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current'
[16:10] <MirkoKa> rollitup: add a correct host entry in /etc/hosts
[16:10] <drPoO> what partition system id should i use in fdisk if I want to make a FAT32 partition
[16:11] <drPoO> is it WIN95?
[16:11] <rollitup> MirkoKa: is it because when i installed ubuntu I had choosen the name of Localhost as the hostname
[16:11] <rollitup> so i changed it to rollitup
[16:11] <rollitup> but still get the sameerror
[16:11] <gauravgrt1> wylde_ : will they work for 12.04 ??
[16:11] <wylde_> gauravgrt1: I'm on 12.04 and using the drivers from jockey (nvidia GT200)
[16:12] <ktchk> IS it possible to install libboot-python1.42 under ubuntu12.04?
[16:12] <rollitup> MirkoKa: I have the following things mentioned in my host file 127.0.0.1	localhost 127.0.1.1	localhost  # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
[16:12] <lupian> hello
[16:12] <lupian> Yesterday i installed ubuntu 12.04 and after installing ati driver , i get a freeze when i restart my pc ... why?
[16:13] <gauravgrt1> wylde_:ok ...
[16:14] <MarcN> Has anyone tried getting a DisplayLink USB Video adapter working? Monitor is just a green screen.  Editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf didn't change anything.
[16:15] <wylde_> gauravgrt1: beyond that, the best suggestion I have is the drivers from nvidia.com( although this is NOT the recommended way to get drivers). If you use them every time the kernel gets updated you'll have to re-install the drivers.
[16:15] <ResQue> is there a way i can pipe the output of a command and have that output hightlight alternating lines different colours
[16:16] <MirkoKa> rollitup: patience please, you seem to have a dublicate localhost entrym 127.0.1.1 should be for rollitup and 127.0.0.1 should be for localhost
[16:16] <wylde_> ResQue: I bet you'd get a good answer for that in #bash :)
[16:16] <ResQue> wylde_: thanks
[16:17] <MirkoKa> drPoO: the hex id's are b for FAT32 and c for FAT32 LBA
[16:17] <rollitup> ok
[16:17] <lupian> Why get i a freeze when i restart my pc?
[16:17] <ResQue> is there a way i can disable a trackpad from accept click events. the only option i can see in system settings is to disable clicks whilst typeing and it does not work very well
[16:17] <ldiamond> My gnome-classic session uses Metacity. How do I make it use Compiz?
[16:17] <gauravgrt1> wylde_ : apt-get is much easier than... thanks for ur help
[16:18] <wylde_> gauravgrt1: np :)
[16:18] <drPoO> MirkoKa, do I *need* to specify the disk type in fdisk before using mkfs?
[16:19] <MirkoKa> drPoO: yes, at least windows won't recognize an FAT/NTFS partition if the id is not set
[16:19] <drPoO> MirkoKa, so using mkfs -T FAT32 should be mountable on a Windoze machine correct?
[16:20] <drPoO> assuming i picked FAT32 LBA as a label
[16:20] <nwp_> I set up 12.04 on my laptop last week; I have run into a curious problem: it looks like the computer shuts down before it finishes writing data to disk, because when I reboot, the filesystem is full of problems. Any way to tell linux not to shut down so fast?
[16:20] <wilee-nilee> lupian, where did you get this driver? I wonder if you needed it.
[16:20] <lupian> i installed the repository driver
[16:21] <MirkoKa> drPoO: actually it's -t but yes, should work, you might better used mkfs.vfat instead
[16:21] <wilee-nilee> lupian, was it in aditional drivers or you just looked for it. Was 12.04 showing a need for a driver with symtoms?
[16:22] <wilee-nilee> symptoms
[16:23] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | lupian this might get you in.
[16:25] <rollitup> MirkoKa: thank you very much for your help :D
[16:25] <lupian> ok thanks for link , but i get a freeze during the loading screen of ubuntu

[16:27] <jonnykash> anyone foresee any problems with dual booting Mac OS after Ubuntu is already installed? I've resized the partition already.
[16:28] <jonnykash> and fixed Grub of course
[16:29] <wilee-nilee> lupian, if you get the grub menu, you may need to hold the shift down at powering on to get the menu to add the nomodeset
[16:30] <Alex_Kee> How to change icons in gnome 3 on hiqh quality ?
[16:30] <wilee-nilee> lupian, this is a lower graphic boot that may get you in.
[16:31] <lupian> ok now i try to re-install the last drivers from ati web site
[16:31] <ralfska> Can you tell me why Ubuntu doesn't fully shut down my computer? I have to press that power button and hold it.
[16:32] <lupian> yes this is my problem ralfska :D
[16:32] <ralfska> yes, you too lupian?
[16:32] <oCean> ralfska: adding -P to the shutdown command should send a poweroff request
[16:32] <lupian> yes :D
[16:32] <Daghdha> I th ink i found solution but not sure what it means "Rather than change my kernel and risk screwing something up, I looked at the available packages relating to linux-generic-pae and found the relevant linux-headers package was not installed. Installing this -- then reinstalling virtualbox-ose-dkms -- fixed the issue."
[16:33] <wylde_> dagerik: yep, that's the correct way :) VBox needs the headers for the dkms. :)
[16:33] <ralfska> oCean: yes, this might be a work around but I'd like it that it shut down by itself
[16:34] <Daghdha> worked fine till 2 hours ago though :/
[16:34] <wylde_> Daghdha: odd, did it change after an update?
[16:35] <Daghdha> Might have not rebooted it after an update. Also rebooted with a USB attached once. THought that caused it maybe.
[16:35] <Daghdha> USB-CDROM
[16:35] <Daghdha> i can start my virtual machine manually though. It works.
[16:35] <mfilipe> will Ubuntu team updates the gimp to 2.8?
[16:35] <wylde_> Daghdha: I don't "think" so. Stranger things have happened though.
[16:35] <shaneo> hey guys could i get some help with ubuntu desktop. It seems that I can no longer boot into unity3D. I have Intel HD graphics card and all was working earlier i got an xorg update and when i performed it i could no longer use unity3d. Any suggestions?
[16:36] <Daghdha> But every boot i get a message that says some kernel driver is not installed and tells me to run s omething that uisn't even there in the /etc/init.d dir
[16:36] <Daghdha> So what  package should i install? linux-generic-pae?
[16:37] <jonnykash> mfilipe, I had that same question the other day. you can find the repository to add for the latest version if you look around. otherwise, ubuntu will add it eventually.
[16:37] <wylde_> Daghdha: hmm, I can't say I've ever seen that. Maybe I should browse the logs on my server.
[16:38] <wylde_> Daghdha: Maybe I misunderstood earlier. You installed the headers, reinstalled VBox fix it already no?
[16:38] <TzeM> Good afternoon
[16:38] <mfilipe> jonnykash, thankks

[16:38] <meraj> hi,can any one help me..i have installed dictionary in 10.04 ,bt nt able to get this?
[16:38] <sdffreuir> I'm having a bit of a problem...due to a bug, my brightness is set to 24 and cannot be changed in any of the usual ways. I'm trying to manually overwrite /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness, the cause of the problem (it's at 24), but it keeps giving me 'write error: Input/output error' and refuses to let me change my brightness. I'm on a LiveCD if that's related. Ubuntu 10.04
[16:38] <Daghdha> wylde_: No it is not fixed and no i did not install headers
[16:39] <Daghdha> Making screenshot now
[16:39] <sdffreuir> Is there any way to write to actual_brightness? All solutions to this problem basically come down to changing that value, but nobody else seems to have any problems changing it
[16:40] <meraj> can any one help me?
[16:40] <shaneo> here is my lshw output for my graphics card http://paste.ubuntu.com/967278/
[16:41] <sdffreuir> (Naturally, this is using sudo)
[16:41] <wylde_> Daghdha: ahh ok. Installing the headers for your current kernel should do the trick. Rather than re-install VBox I believe 'dpkg-reconfigure <package>' will rebuild the dkms using the new headers. I'll fire up my thin client here and check on my server box.
[16:42] <meraj> wylde: can u help me??

[16:46] <white-energy> Guys.. i have a problem with a growing partition so fast... ("/" filesystem) it just gets full....
[16:47] <oceanman2345> lemme rephrase, the nvidia driver isn't working
[16:48] <Daghdha> Maybe it needs the headers on server equipment added?
[16:48] <nownot> what is the a good software package to steam hd media from my ubuntu box to my iPad over wireless n? something that could possibly transcode or ????
[16:48] <oceanman2345> if i apt-get purge nvidia-current everything (lightdm, xbmc --standalone) starts up fine, albeit slow and choppy, otherwise i end up with a black screen
[16:49] <wylde_> Daghdha: hmm.. that isn't related to kernel headers, any chance virtualbox-dkms or somesuch got removed?
[16:49] <wilee-nilee> yodawg123, a rootkit equals a wipe a reload of a clean image, or a reinstall, you would never really know if yiou got this cleaned out
[16:49] <Daghdha> I already reinstalled it twice since the error started occuring
[16:50] <modernbob> oceanman2345: thats a tough one...   thats one of those deals where its better to do a clean install
[16:50] <craigbass1976> I've installed java according to the directions here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java  If I want to give openjdk a whirl (in the past it has not worked well with my ERP) do I just install it, or should I go about trying to undo the previous install somehow?

[16:51] <lostogre> wylde_, why are you trying to install VirtualBox?
[16:51] <modernbob> oceanman2345: I would back everything up and do a fresh 12.04 install
[16:51] <wylde_> lostogre: I'm not, I'm helping Daghdha with a problem they are having.
[16:51] <oceanman2345> •modernbob• we couldn't say, install the natty nvidia-current?
[16:51] <lostogre> I see.
[16:52] <oceanman2345> i shoulda pinned the dam thing
[16:52] <modernbob> oceanman2345: I would back everything up first.. then you can try anything you want
[16:52] <Daghdha> lostogre: No he's helping me, vbox started popping a kernel driver error. It works when i run it after that. Just need to get rid of the: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2hpiu0z&s=6

[16:52] <oceanman2345> only problem with that is, i got about 1.5T on there with no where else to put it
[16:52] <lostogre> Daghdha, is there a particular reason that you need Virtualbox?
[16:53] <Daghdha> yes
[16:53] <modernbob> oceanman2345: I hear you.....   I built a nas box because of that
[16:53] <craigbass1976> Actually, java -version isn't giving me anything, so I've got something screwed up... Perhaps the install is fine but I forgot a link?
[16:53] <Daghdha> I am running it for 2 years+ with a virtual machine
[16:53] <oal> I upgraded my server to 12.04 but it no longer connects to the internet after a reboot. Any ideas?
[16:53] <oceanman2345> well, i've got a 2T raid 5, but it's about full too
[16:53] <lostogre> Daghdha, I did the same till one day I compared vbox to kvm and found that kvm is MUCH faster.

[16:57] <foxfire> •modernbob• it's kinda an older platform, i wouldn't be suprised if the problem isn't the upgrade but the driver itself
[16:57] <compdoc> Daghdha, if the goal is to run an OS like Windows from your ubuntu desktop, then vbox is better at graphics. If the goal is to run an OS as a server thats always runnig in the background, then qemu-kvm is better

[17:09] <wylde_> nyuszika7h: heh yeah that won't work very well :)
[17:09] <auronandace> editor
[17:09] <nyuszika7h> auronandace: I know
[17:09] <nyuszika7h> I was under the illusion I was in Ubuntu
[17:10] <nyuszika7h> Well, I was, but I was SSHed into my server and tried installing gedit there
[17:10] <wylde_> nyuszika7h: hehe yeah, I've done that too.
[17:10] <auronandace> nyuszika7h: oh sorry, just got what you meant
[17:10] <x__> need some help tryin to switch off acpi to do install
[17:11] <najam> exit
[17:11] <Daghdha> wylde_: I am trying that now
[17:11] <Cydus> Is there any reason I should choose ubuntu for a webserver over centos?
[17:11] <wylde_> nyuszika7h: at the bottom of the HUD there are icons, the second from the left is applications, once you click that at the top right you can filter what is shown.
[17:11] <bazhang> Cydus, #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[17:11] <gtamaster900> Quick question, Is there a tool to change the background color in the accessory menu in ubuntu 12.04?
[17:11] <Cydus> ok
[17:11] <WoahImaShark> Alrighty, so new problem... Every time I run the Ubuntu 12.04 installer off of my flash drive, be it through the try ubuntu or other option, it just goes through the installation like normal and then I reboot it acts like it was never installed. I tried re-downloading 12.04 and formatting the drive, restarting, and even using a different drive with /another/ 12.04 and all that ever happens...
[17:11] <WoahImaShark> ...is it either hangs on the installation or if I go through the wizard it'll just close out and leave me with the loading cursor.
[17:11] <wylde_> Daghdha: alrighty. From what you told me that sounds like a good potential solution.
[17:12] <wylde_> gtamaster900: System Settings -> Appearance
[17:12] <nyuszika7h> I see, thanks wylde_
[17:13] <wylde_> gtamaster900: hmm or maybe I misunrstoof the question... :/
[17:13] <wylde_> *misunderstood even
[17:13] <glebaron> donavan01, there are lots of options.
[17:14] <gtamaster900> I want to actually choose the color of the background behind the applications menus
[17:14] <donavan01> glebaron ... and those options would be?
[17:15] <x__> need some help tryin to switch off acpi to do install, getting an error tosh_acpi not  found and install freeze at 87% using natty
[17:15] <ezraw> for some reason holding down the super key doesn't show the help overlay, and the super-e to show all windows doesn't work. It's like it retained the keyboard shortcuts I had in 10.04
[17:15] <leal> WoahImaShark: if instalition dont work test text-based install http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[17:15] <glebaron> donavan01, LibreOffice Base...

[17:15] <rootnoobtux> can i install cms on ubuntu 10.04 lts desktop?
[17:16] <xangua> gtamaster900: if you change the background, the dash will use the predominant color
[17:16] <glebaron> donavan01, those two would be the both very good.
[17:16] <wylde_> gtamaster900: yeah I realized that after I hit "enter", I'm not sure if/how you can do that. Sorry.
[17:16] <Jef91> How do I choose which session I am logging into with LightDM?
[17:16] <Jef91> EG Gnome/KDE/E17
[17:17] <donavan01> glebaron ... does PHPMyadmin do WYSIWYG like form creation
[17:17] <Jef91> I don't see any obvious option like LXDM/GDM have
[17:17] <gtamaster900> I am using gnome classic sorry should have specified that
[17:18] <gtamaster900> With the old drop down menus
[17:18] <glebaron> donavan01, It's all in the browser. No need for forms.
[17:18] <ComatoseD> Hi there ... just wondering if anyone could give me a hand with making a couple of commands permanent with 12.04
[17:19] <wylde_> gtamaster900: ubuntu-tweak may accomplish what you're after.
[17:19] <krababbel> Anyone knows if Myunity can be used in gnome-shell too?
[17:19] <donavan01> glebaron ... so basically it will act like I have a local webserver running to do everything
[17:19] <krababbel> I want to change the fonts in gnome-shell
[17:19] <rootnoobtux> can i install cms on ubuntu 10.04 lts desktop?
[17:20] <OerHeks> krababbel, no, gnome-shell is not using unity.
[17:20] <nownot> how do I allow remote access vnc in 12.04? I don't see the remote desktop preferences
[17:20] <xangua> !info cms lucid | rootnoobtux
[17:20] <wylde_> krababbel: I've not had great experiences with myunity, ubuntu-tweak can do that I believe
[17:20] <krababbel> OerHeks wylde_ Thank you!
[17:21] <OerHeks> wylde_ +1
[17:21] <xangua> krababbel: you could try, but for change gnome-shell themes you need gnome-tweak-tool

[17:48] <bazhang> longtail, why search for keygen
[17:49] <mangdood> jrib, I was actually able to install it for some reason after you asked me to check where the package was from... I tried apt-get update, so maybe that did the trick..?
[17:49] <add1ctus> xangua: thanks, i'll check it now

[17:56] <jrib> mangdood: kernel or distros?
[17:56] <bazhang> mangdood, a couple of back up kernels? sure
[17:56] <Logan_> mangdood: When you update the kernel in Ubuntu, it doesn't automatically remove the older one.
[17:56] <wylde> mangdood: only if you have a reason for needing them.

[17:58] <hariswaroop> i have just upgrade to 112.04 lts now i am not able to boot window 8 without ubuntu grub loader
[17:58] <arcaos> hello folks

[17:58] <gabriellhrn> Wich type of cipher is used when I use ecryptfs-setup-private?
[17:59] <rile_bre> wilde  bazhand ty i will try
[17:59] <arcaos> is there a way of knowing how a update is going from 11.10 to 12.04 in a terminal window?
[17:59] <RiXtEr--Home> Hey does anyone know of a program that will log everything in a console until stopped?
[17:59] <arcaos> it seems to have stalled......
[17:59] <hariswaroop> no
[17:59] <a7mid> k
[17:59] <hariswaroop> bye
[18:00] <MirkoKa> RiXtEr--Home: try the "script" command
[18:00] <RiXtEr--Home> MirkoKa, will do thanks.
[18:00] <wylde> hariswaroop: ummm, you can't boot windows 8 at all? Or you have to use grub to do it? (which is the expected result if you installed grub to the mbr of that drive)
[18:01] <Escherial> this is going to sound awfully braindead, but how can i tell how large my ubuntu partition is? i'm using wubi :|
[18:01] <wylde> Escherial: df -h in terminal
[18:01] <rinzler> ok. in order to settle a dispute, is linux pronounced with a long, or short i?
[18:01] <smile> hi :) How can I link libicu48 to libicu44? making a virtual package or something? :) a package needs 44, i only have 48 :p
[18:01] <wylde> !ot | rinzler
[18:01] <Escherial> i'm going to assume it's /dev/loop0, since that's the one that 24G in size
[18:02] <guntbert> how can I find out why ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 is "kept back" (even after apt-get dist-upgrade) ?
[18:02] <wylde> Escherial: yep, using wubi your system is running on a loop device.
[18:02] <smile> guntbert: maybe it's not compatible with your other packages
[18:03] <Escherial> i seem to be using 93% of the available 24G...i wonder if there's any easy way to decrease that so i can install 12
[18:03] <LinuxMonkey> rinzler:  check out http://www.paul.sladen.org/pronunciation/
[18:03] <guntbert> smile: :)  I still would like to find out, exactly why
[18:03] <Escherial> my parent windows partition has 74G free, so i imagine i can expand my wubi "partition"
[18:04] <bazhang> Escherial, check the wubi guide for that
[18:04] <wylde> Escherial: personally I wouldn't reccomend wubi for anything but trying out ubuntu. If you don't want a dual boot, I'd suggest Ubuntu in Virtualbox over wubi.
[18:04] <bazhang> !wubi | Escherial
[18:04] <Scunizi> wylde: you think that recent updates changed my current IPv6 settings?  Updates won't normally do that will they?
[18:04]  * sladen looks at LinuxMonkey and rinzler 
[18:04] <smile> guntbert: try installing synaptic and upgrading the package :) you can see the detailed changes there
[18:04] <Escherial> right, i'm familiar with what it is, but now that i'm committed to ubuntu i'm not sure how move it to its own partition and dual boot
[18:05] <Escherial> i don't mind dual booting at all :)
[18:05] <wylde> Scunizi: They may have. I didn't have a problem but some have.
[18:05] <Escherial> my optical drive is unfortunately shot, barring the possibility of doing the partition resizing/copying from a live CD
[18:05] <auronandace> Escherial: dual boot is better than wubi
[18:05] <Scunizi> wylde: on updates or upgrades?  I haven't upgraded yet.
[18:06] <wylde> Escherial: you can make a live usb thumb/pendrive :)
[18:06] <wylde> Scunizi: moment. :)
[18:06] <rile_bre> momy i m in trouble
[18:06] <rile_bre> cant find noting
[18:07] <rile_bre> mest up need another clean instal  i gess. dang:(
[18:07] <guntbert> smile: that is possible of course - but I am seriously curious - I want to know before (not only for this special package,  but generally - what makes a package "kept back")
[18:08] <auronandace> guntbert: usually dependency issues
[18:08] <kapz> hey, I have upgrade my ubuntu install to 12.04, but unlike fresh install the background of lightdm does not change after logout, how do i correct it
[18:08] <wylde> Scunizi: if you do      lsmod | grep ipv6    in terminal do you get any output?
[18:08] <SmasherX> an upgrade from "precise" to "oneiric" is not supported with this tool ???
[18:08] <Escherial> oh, on that note, is it worth it to go to 12.04? is it more stable?
[18:09] <smile> guntbert: try apt-get kept back googl'ing :p
[18:09] <guntbert> auronandace: ack - do you know how to find those issues?

[18:09] <MrIronMan> Hello guys, I managed to install 12.04 on a crap hardware (256 ram, nvidia fx 5500) and I am getting some strange behavior with USB mouse and the ps/2 keyboard, the mouse suddenly and randomly stops and the keyboard go nuts, repeating the last key I typed, randomly as well. Could anybody try to point me to the right direction of the fix?
[18:09] <guntbert> smile: umph :-)
[18:09] <wylde> Escherial: it's been runnig very well for me, on my hardware.
[18:09] <perlsyntax> How do i get my usb drive to show up on unetbootin?
[18:09] <auronandace> guntbert: a good place to start is if you have any ppas
[18:10] <SmasherX> I am not trying to downgrade, I am trying to complete upgrade which failed
[18:10] <perlsyntax> Any ideas
[18:10] <MrIronMan> if anybody have had this issue before and I can give away more info as well
[18:10] <guntbert> auronandace: good point - although I expected them to be disabled after the upgrade - but I will have a look, thx for the idea
[18:11] <OerHeks> MrIronMan, add more ram
[18:11] <MrIronMan> OerHeks: are you sure this will cause that?
[18:11] <wylde> MrIronMan: that system is going to be very slow. 256MB of ram will force the system to constantly page to the hd.
[18:11] <kion> upgraded to 12.04 ....... Where is my tracert command ?????
[18:12] <smile> guntbert: you can do that, i hope :D
[18:12] <jpds> kion: tracepath is installed by default.
[18:12] <MrIronMan> Althought it sounds strange, the system is smooth
[18:12] <wylde> MrIronMan: you might want to check out lubuntu
[18:12] <auronandace> guntbert: i avoid ppas altogether but i think the usual procedure is to remove ppas then upgrade
[18:12] <MrIronMan> wylde: hummmm great ideia!
[18:12] <wylde> !lubuntu | MrIronMan
[18:12] <blocky> is it better to install grub to /dev/sda or /dev/sda1
[18:13] <auronandace> blocky: depends if you want grub on your mbr
[18:13] <wylde> blocky: sda is a device, sda1 is a partition :)
[18:13] <Escherial> wylde: hmm, thanks for the vote of confidence :)
[18:13] <guntbert> auronandace: they get disabled during the upgrade process - but I still will have a look :-)
[18:13] <MrIronMan> wylde: I wanted to give my grandparents a nice Unity interface while trying to keep the old hardware there, cause it "still works"
[18:13] <smile> If you get problems with deb files you can always use the Linux Generic Binaries. => what is that? :)
[18:13] <LinuxMonkey> and wylde is a superstar :)
[18:14] <Escherial> do any of you have an issue with unity where the menus for the status icons in the top right become offset somehow, so that it becomes difficult to select one of them?
[18:14] <wylde> MrIronMan: yeah, but with the lack of ram you're going to probably have a fair number of strange behaviors.
[18:14] <MrIronMan> another issue is the vertical sinc on the TV :(
[18:14] <blocky> well I have a windows 7 install on another disk that I want grub to also boot, does that make a difference?
[18:14] <smile> MrIronMan: :(
[18:14] <perlsyntax> ?Does anyone know how to get m y usb drive to show up on unetbootin??
[18:14] <Escherial> i've noticed in kde programs like kate that the menu items tend to shuffle around, too
[18:14] <perlsyntax> ?
[18:14] <MrIronMan> just as I thought *SAD*
[18:14] <moonunitzappa> What is it formatted as perlsyntax
[18:14] <Escherial> also, the background of tooltips in eclipse is black on black, which is admittedly quite hard to read
[18:15] <perlsyntax> i try to get it to format to fat32
[18:15] <Escherial> no idea how many of these problems have to do with unity proper, though...
[18:15] <perlsyntax> i got gparted
[18:15] <wylde> blocky: grub should recognize the windows install wherever it is on the system.
[18:15] <perlsyntax> i use xcfe desktop
[18:15] <moonunitzappa> I thikn when that happend to me i just reformated the whole drive again.
[18:15] <blocky> I don't really understand whether I should install to the partition or the mbr
[18:15] <wylde> blocky: just be sure not to point the installer at your windows partition :)
[18:15] <perlsyntax> moonunitzappa,Any ideas
[18:15] <Escherial> oh, and on the topic of UI bugs, the standard open/save dialogs are always slightly larger than the screen, which means i have to struggle for that 2-pixel wide resize region in order to make the 'ok' button visible
[18:15] <blocky> I've already installed ubuntu, but grub won't boot
[18:16] <Escherial> i'll stop now :|
[18:16] <blocky> I am back in the livecd
[18:16] <moonunitzappa> reformat as FAT32
[18:16] <kion>  jpds:  Thanks
[18:16] <wylde> blocky: the OS goes to a partition, GRUB (the bootloader) goes to the mbr
[18:16] <perlsyntax> I don't understand why it doing this.
[18:16] <wylde> Escherial: report a bug :)
[18:16] <wylde> Escherial: is there a specific app it happens with?
[18:17] <WoahImaShark> Erm... I dunno if this is just me, but whenever I try and download the text based installer from the ubuntu site, it brings me to some mirror directory.
[18:17] <blocky> when I run sudo grub-install /dev/sda I get /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)
[18:17] <perlsyntax> hello
[18:17] <Escherial> wylde: i notice it mostly in the gimp, since i save/open things frequently in that, but it happens in every application
[18:17] <Escherial> as far as filing bugs goes, i think every thing i mentioned was reported (some of them months ago), with a few intervening releases between them being reported and now
[18:17] <perlsyntax> Oh i see no one knows.
[18:18] <Escherial> i guess my option now is to switch to another window manager
[18:18] <blocky> could the reason it's not booting be because fdisk shows sda1 starts at  2048 instead of 1?
[18:18] <Escherial> there are a lot of things i like about unity, though, which makes it unfortunate...
[18:18] <wylde> Escherial: hmmm I'm not sure what package you'd file that against. I suppose Unity would cover it for now. If that's wrong a triager will sort it out or get in touch for more information. Just do 'ubuntu-bug unity' in terminal ans that will start the bug report process for you. :)
[18:19] <Escherial> wylde: sounds good :) i'll try reporting them, then, and seeing what happens. i'm always afraid that i'll duplicate an existing issue or file it in the wrong place, but i guess it's alright if someone else sorts them out later
[18:19] <perlsyntax> ?????????????
[18:19] <wylde> blocky: ummm, I think I need a little background on what you've done previously.
[18:19] <MrIronMan> Well, I know this is an Ubuntu channel and all that, but could anybody suggest a nice lighweight distro (like Lubuntu was mentioned) in which I can have BIG icons and fixed shortcuts on the desktop? I would like to them to look in the leat on the menus, could I do that in Lubuntu?
[18:19] <perlsyntax> i get up!
[18:19] <Escherial> wylde: thanks for the advice :)
[18:19] <Escherial> just having someone to hear me out is reassuring, heh
[18:19] <wylde> Escherial: even if it's a duplicate you may be able to provide info someone else couldn't :)
[18:20] <MrIronMan> sorry about my english
[18:20] <blocky> wylde after the install, the system wouldn't boot
[18:20] <hariswaroop> rry
[18:20] <blocky> I rebooted into the livecd and noticed /dev/sda1 did not have its boot flag set, so I set that in parted
[18:20] <blocky> still not booting
[18:21] <wylde> MrIronMan: I beleieve you can do that, I'd have to have a look at my thin client here(I've never done it) since my ltsp server uses lxde :)
[18:21] <blocky> now when I boot I get a grub prompt though, which is better than before
[18:21] <blocky> perhaps if I run ubiquity again it will all sort itself out?
[18:21] <wylde> blocky: yeah run the full install, at the end it will install the bootloader where you tell it to.
[18:22] <blocky> what will happen if I execute this in parted: move 1 1 <current end of partition 1>
[18:22] <MrIronMan> wylde: that should be a great start, I am getting it here, gonna do a first run on a VM and then I will deploy on the machine, thanks for the kind attention
[18:22] <saimon777> hi
[18:22] <wylde> blocky: like I said before just don't point the installer at your windows partition.
[18:22] <blocky> its on a different disk
[18:22] <wylde> MrIronMan: glad to help :)
[18:22] <blocky> I'm having all these problems because there was some wierd fake raid setup that I didn't know about
[18:23] <sokak> Question: there is any other part of the system where package sources can be located other than /etc/apt/sources.list?
[18:23] <blocky> but I have mostly removed that, I think
[18:23] <bencc> I'm using checkinstall and getting: Copying files to the temporary directory...
[18:23] <bencc> and it just hangs
[18:23] <wylde> blocky: ahh ok, ummm did that kill your windows install?
[18:23] <saimon777> i get "error while writing tags" in ncmpcpp every time i try to save an mp3 tag
[18:23] <bencc> how can I chekc if it is still working?
[18:23] <blocky> no
[18:23] <blocky> I reformatted the 2nd drive in windows, so now I have one disk with a windows partition, one empty disk ntfs format, and then I ran dmraid -E -r /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd
[18:23] <wylde> blocky: ahh ok, good stuff then.
[18:24] <blocky> so now I'm trying to install ubuntu to /dev/sda, it's a 30gb solid state, and avoid the windows disks altogether
[18:24] <rile_bre> walde i m sory i find one resurse on net
[18:24] <blocky> I guess I'll run the full install again
[18:24] <rile_bre> http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/05/how-to-install-nvidia-linux-display.html
[18:25] <sokak> im dislexic (no pun intended) and im going insane trying to spot the lines that are identical - yeah, twenty rows of text can be hard for a dislexic
[18:25] <wylde> blocky: ... you've lost me on your disk configuration heh. sda is usually the first physical disk.
[18:26] <blocky> my dads computer, he's got five disks inside and a sixth via usb
[18:26] <blocky> lol
[18:26] <krababbel> sokak: in software center menu
[18:26] <wylde> rile_bre: that will probably work, however you won't get support here using outside ppa's
[18:27] <wylde> blocky: I see.
[18:27] <sokak> yuh, i've been there, and tried to see if there are duplicated sources, but cant spot anything :3 krababbel, do you know of any custom syntax highligting rule i could use in kate or geanie to make the /etc/apt/sources.list more readable for a dislexic?
[18:27] <wylde> blocky: just be sure not to point the installer at a partition that has data you want to keep then! lol
[18:27] <blocky> is there any reason to make a boot partition?
[18:28] <blocky> and I want to instlal the boot loader to /dev/sda not to any partition, correct?
[18:28] <wylde> blocky: at this point, I'd only worry about making a separate /home partition
[18:28] <smile> bye :)
[18:28] <krababbel> sokak: sorry, no, in windows notepad++ has a compare feature
[18:29] <wylde> blocky: if that is the active boot disk yes (it will ask on every boot what OS to load)
[18:29] <krababbel> sokak: there are complaints about the featureset of texteditors in linux. Which is crazy.
[18:29] <sokak> ty anyway krababbel, i guess ill have to call a friend to help me. I have always been good with linux, since i could customize it any way i needed :) I use it mainly with graphics, text kills me :)
[18:31] <Bender> When I press the Fn key on my laptop the whole keyboard stop working, so the mouse buttons on the integrated mousepad. Is it a known issue?
[18:31] <wylde> sokak: you could open it in gedit and change the highlighting option until you found something that suited you.
[18:31] <sokak> thank you wylde, ill give it a try
[18:31] <wylde> sokak: :)
[18:32] <sokak> you would never guess im writing so fast with dasher :3
[18:32] <casa> ciao
[18:32] <action09> hi
[18:32] <casa> !list
[18:33] <sokak> ciao casa :)
[18:33] <casa> !list
[18:33] <action09> on 12.04 gnome classic, i've installed skype ut can't find, while launched, any notification how can i've a reduced icon somewhere please ????
[18:34] <form> hi. which manager does ubuntu12 uses by default? (it seems not to be gdm). i want to add a command which is executed locally before the login prompt
[18:34] <wylde> form: lightdm
[18:34] <form> ty
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Form: lightdm
[18:35] <wylde> form: I believe rc.local is what you want.
[18:35] <wylde> form: errr /etc/rc.local
[18:35] <Escherial> ok, so i have an icon for my app now (pycharm, to be specific), but the launcher icon doesn't show that the app is running, even though it is
[18:35] <Escherial> to make matters worse, i can't even alt+tab to it
[18:35] <grnt> I just learned how really ugly AMD drivers are. Anyone (with AMD) recently got "invalid environment block" grub error?
[18:35] <Bender> pressing Fn key is locking the whole keyboard and mouse button forcing me to reboot :( Any hint?
[18:35] <sokak> oh, another silly question :3 what if i replace the sources list with a default one? :3
[18:36] <wylde> sokak: you could, just be certain that's it's for the correct version(the one you're using)
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Form: to add a command, add it in /etc/rc.local  above the exit 0 line. It will run as root
[18:36] <wylde> sokak: and be sure to 'sudo apt-get update' after
[18:37] <sokak> wylde, i think ill fix that and sudo cp to a backup copy
[18:37] <wylde> sokak: sounds like a good plan to me :)
[18:38] <form> ActionParsnip / wylde: i tried to add "xhost +" above "exit" in rc.local. but it has to be run in graphical environment (to gain access to GPUs..).. any other ideas?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Escherial: I've seen bugs regarding python apps + unity not playin well together
[18:38] <abhinavmehta>  I'm working on my office system(ubuntu 12.04)..and have downloaded few movies here..now I want to clean Dash-Home…how can I..?
[18:38] <Escherial> ActionParsnip: ah :\
[18:39] <Escherial> ActionParsnip: i was hoping upgrading to 12 would fix that, but i'm deadlocked on wubi since i don't have access to live CD/live thumbdrive
[18:39] <abhinavmehta> its showing in Recent Files, Downloads, Recently Viewed
[18:39] <Escherial> (er, and my partition right now is too small to install it)
[18:39] <trism> action09: make sure you add the notification area to the panel, it is not there by default in 12.04 (alt+right click, add to panel)
[18:39] <wylde> form: hmmm I'm not sure how you would go about that before the login.
[18:39] <abhinavmehta> please someone, tell me how to clear-them, without installing any 3rd party app
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> Form: make a script and run it backgrounded, have a long sleep command in the script then your command, gives time for user login
[18:40] <fishcooker> what is it abhinavmehta
[18:40] <elijah> How can I tell if Nautilus is loading a script inside ~/.nautilus?
[18:40] <form> ActionParsnip: should be fully remotely
[18:40] <Nick_> hello?
[18:40] <abhinavmehta> fishcooker: its a simple question about…how to clear your recent files(used) history..?
[18:41] <abhinavmehta> sorry..but I couldn't found any option to do this in Ubuntu 12.04
[18:41] <fishcooker> i've remembered that there is a xml file that handle those apps
[18:41] <abhinavmehta> and yes, I don't want to manually go via terminal and mess with log-files.
[18:41] <fishcooker> ic
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: gnome-log-manager i believe. It may be installed by default, you can tell unity to ignore certain apps
[18:42] <xangua> abhinavmehta: did you check the Privacy settings¿
[18:42] <fishcooker> it look like there is a activity log manager
[18:42] <action09> trism ahaha exactly, i didn't succeed i don't know why, now it's OK !! thx
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Form: what does 'fully remotely' mean?
[18:42] <bs0d> Hello everyone. Which file I should edit to add environment variables for my user only?
[18:42] <fishcooker> i've installed recently but i dont rmember the  name
[18:42] <abhinavmehta> xangua: perfect…got it.
[18:42] <vectory__> bs0d: .profile
[18:43] <vectory__> in case of bash
[18:43] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: no, gnome-log-manager isn't default install…and want to avoid more apt-get…but thanks
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Bs0d:  or ~/.bashrc
[18:43] <abhinavmehta> Thanks xangua, fishcooker  :)
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: its a tiny app
[18:43] <form> ActionParsnip: i meant, that no one is logging in locally
[18:44] <blocky> damnit
[18:44] <blocky> when I turn on the computer I just get a grub shell
[18:44] <blocky> how can I boot my system from this/
[18:45] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: yeah, I know that it's a small-app…but I was trying to avoid using any 3rd party app…coz after few days I'll forget what are all the apps running/installed on my system.
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Form: then you may need autologin, or the same method may work without. Have a play
[18:45] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: so I want to keep them minimum
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: your entire OS is made of 3rd party apps
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Blocky: try logging into unity2d session
[18:47] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: buddy, I know that…but it's just matter of personal-taste….I don't meant any offense against your advice…infact you were absolutely correct..
[18:47] <blocky> ActionParsnip, all I get is a prompt that says grub>
[18:48] <ldiamond> How do I add a custom shortcut in gnome-panel in 12.04?
[18:48] <action09> ldiamond where ? on the Dektop ?
[18:48] <abhinavmehta> ldiamond: just drag and drop icon to panel
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Blocky: id boot to livecd and reinstate grub using a chroot. Omgubuntu has a guide called: sticking it to grub
[18:49] <ldiamond> abhinavmehta, I'm not referring to the launcher on the left though
[18:50] <ldiamond> I can't even move anything or alt-left click to have the properties unless I run metacity
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: then you'll need to find the config files, then learn how to edit them
[18:50] <blocky> ActionParsnip, I've tried that a few times
[18:50] <blocky> I'm trying to boot from the grub> prompt but when I enter initrd /initrd.img it says file not found
[18:51] <blocky> but it allows me to autocomplete initrd.img
[18:51] <K4k> Is there a way to show all applications in the Unity "Super key" menu?
[18:51] <blocky> I can see the file is there in my root directory
[18:51] <blocky> does that mean it's corrupted?
[18:52] <MaRio_Gt> i recently install precise and the menus of libreoffice apear with no fonts, in the better of te cases some words can read, i change the system typography with tweak-tool but already had some word problem
[18:53] <blocky> hmm so the system booted...
[18:53] <MaRio_Gt> some idea how to fix this?
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> Blocky: could fsck the partition from livecd
[18:54] <blocky> why does unity toolbar have a button called InstalL RELEASE
[18:54] <nathwill> blocky, if it booted, you can reinstall grub.
[18:54] <blocky> did I install the livecd somehow?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> K4k, under installed apps, you can expand it to show all apps
[18:56] <blocky> i ran grub-mkconfig and grub-install, now rebooting
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Blocky: you could simply remove the icon. You
[18:56] <xubuntu> hello, i just love this version of ubuntu - 12.04 ITS SO GOOD
[18:56] <blocky> hmm, nope, back to grub shell
[18:56] <ScorchedMuffin> haha right? they did a nice job
[18:56] <xubuntu> keep rocking, best ubuntu version yet and im doing an xubuntu review
[18:56] <ScorchedMuffin> nice
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> Blocky:you may find removing ubiquity does it (if it doesn't uninstall other stuff)
[18:57] <blocky> why does it say initrd file not found?
[18:57] <nhrfiport> Hi there, I am getting authentication is required to change user data message every few minutes. Details show org.freedesktop.accounts.user-administration
[18:58] <blocky> maybe if I update the kernel I will get a fresh initrd.img that is valid
[18:58] <unperson> I'm interested in setting up a VPN server on my home Ubuntu box that I can connect to with an iPad.  According to Apple, the iPad supports the following VPN protocols: L2TP/IPSec, PPTP, and Cisco IPSec.  I have found guides for setting up PPTP (pptpd) and L2TP/IPSec (openswan + xl2tpd) VPNs, but being a VPN noob I'm not sure which is best for my purpose.
[18:58] <blocky> can a system boot without initrd?
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Blocky: is the OS fully updated?
[18:59] <unperson> Obviously the client could be behind NAT at times, so that may influence which protocol is preferable.  Also one may be easier to configure that another.  Finally, I'm not sure which can be used as a bridged vs. routed VPN.  Suggestions?
[19:00] <MirkoKa> blocky: since you seem to have booted successfully by manually giving the initrd in the grub shell, there's perhaps something wrong in the grub.cfg. Try regenrate it with "sudo update-grub" after you get back to the system as you did before.
[19:00] <unperson> Some initial research suggests that PPTP may not function well with NAT.  I've had enough go arounds with FTP and NAT to be wary.
[19:00] <blocky> MirkoKa, I tried running grub-mkconfig, and that didn't fix it, does update-grub do something different?
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> nhrfiport: are there any bugs reported?
[19:01] <MirkoKa> blocky: not sure, worth a try
[19:01] <nhrfiport> ActionParsnip: I have not reported any bug as I have no idea where this message is coming from
[19:01] <blocky> yep, somehow that did it
[19:02] <blocky> damn it's fast from an SSD
[19:02] <blocky> now I just need to get windows into grub and we're off to the races
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> nhrfiport: if you make a fresh user and log on as that, is it the same?
[19:02] <MirkoKa> blocky: adding windows should have been happended with update-grub
[19:02] <blocky> unfortunately it did not
[19:03] <nhrfiport> ActionParsnip: I'll try that and will report here. Most probably this is artifact of installation problems I faced. I got BOD during install.
[19:03] <blocky> how can I add it manually?
[19:03] <amokpaule> Hello, i just the fglrx driver when i run amdcccle i get the following message "amdcccle: cannot connect to X server"
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Blocky: get updated,may help find it
[19:06] <MirkoKa> blocky: this is my XP entry, you need of course adjust the disk/partiton numbers and uuid: http://pastebin.com/pGXgELxg you can add such entry to  /etc/grub.d/40_custom  but really Windows should have been picked up
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Blocky:  could try:   sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub
[19:07] <blocky> any idea why windows was not picked up?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> It sucks :-)
[19:07] <JessicaW> how do you tell what version of C++ you're using?
[19:07] <auronandace> ActionParsnip: doesn't update-grub not automatically run os-prober?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: apt-cache policy g++
[19:08] <MirkoKa> JessicaW: or g++ --version
[19:08] <Iamverytasty> is there a gui for update-rc.d?
[19:08] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: thanks
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> auronandace: possibly,covering the bases
[19:09] <LinuxMonkey> blocky: it happens, when I first installed it I had to follow this guide http://technologytales.com/2010/11/21/manually-adding-an-entry-for-windows-7-to-an-ubuntu-grub2-menu/
[19:09] <blocky> thanks
[19:09] <rile_bre> i did sometingh . now i crash avery 3 sec . try to instal  nvdia driver . got trouble :(
[19:09] <boson> darmok on the ocean
[19:09] <MirkoKa> LOL@ boson
[19:10] <LinuxMonkey> blocky:  be carefull as you need to change that middle line
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> rile_bre: have you tested your RA
[19:10] <rile_bre> for clean instal i wana try 64 bit  ..delite partition s doit again or ? advise pls if any .

[19:12] <rile_bre> and is like semi truck ...now sound wise :)
[19:12] <unperson> boson: Jalad on the ocean?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> rile_bre: you can just mark the partitions for format and mark them to be used for the same use, or just delete them and let the installer set it up for you
[19:13] <JessicaW> MirkoKa: thanks.
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> rile_bre: id test ram from grub, make sure its ok
[19:13] <PC1> I have a low resolution on grub and plymouth. Changing the grub configuration file string with my desired resolution doesn't help. Plus Grub Customizer doesn't work too.
[19:13] <blocky> okay I created a new entry but update-grub2 didn't grab it
[19:13] <rile_bre> actionparsi...<-- bot or human ...need to chek so many machines now talking to me i need to chek

[19:15] <Guest26923> hi
[19:15] <rile_bre> nice ActionParsnip ty for replying
[19:15] <luckybunny> an issue that's really beginning to annoy me: several times a day, I get around 5 warnings about google certificates being self-signed. I tell it to remember the setting and press continue, but then it just happens again

[19:16] <drvanon> I used sudo usermod -G vboxusers marco to add the usb function to VB. Now I can't use sudo anymore, this is the only user except for guest user. Is there a way to fix this and why did this happen?
[19:17] <wylde> !audio | Guest26923
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: the command is wrong
[19:17] <elijah> ActionParsnip: thx, it appears that nautilus-python is not there, how can I get it for 12.04?
[19:17] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, what is wrong with it?
[19:17] <wylde> !find nautilus-python
[19:18] <atchalak> hi
[19:18] <Guest26923> thank you ubottu! i did try as such. i have filed a bug report as well. but in the mean time i would like to know of a solution
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: you wanted: sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers marco
[19:18] <atchalak> i got a big problem with my ubuntu 12.04
[19:18] <atchalak> has somebody the time to help me ?
[19:18] <auronandace> drvanon: you've just set vboxusers as the only group marco belongs to
[19:18] <atchalak> thanks for advance
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: to add your user -a to supplementary group -G
[19:19] <websly> Is anyone else hvaing poroblems with 12.04?
[19:19] <wylde> !ask | atchalak
[19:19] <auronandace> drvanon: the -a means append
[19:19] <drvanon> ah
[19:19] <drvanon> and how can i get back to the original group?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: you'll need to reboot to root recovery mode a
[19:19] <elijah> can anyone here install nautilus-python on 12.04? It says "unable to locate package..." when I try to apt-get install it. This page suggests that it is available in the universe repo, which I have enabled. http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/universe/base/nautilus-python
[19:19] <websly> since I upgrades to 12.04 LTS, all games stopped working
[19:20] <wylde> !details | Guest26923
[19:20] <websly> anyone know a fix?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: and add yourself to the admin group
[19:20] <ethanr> I would like to install Ubuntu  onto a netbook w/ 4gb ssd. it does have an sd card slot which i can use to store something. I tried wubi but it got corrupted on me twice, each within a few weeks of install, so that probably won't work.
[19:20] <blocky> any way to fix BOOTMGR is missing from within linux
[19:20] <wylde> elijah: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nautilus-python
[19:20] <websly> since I upgrades to 12.04 LTS, all games stopped working
[19:20] <websly> anyone know a fix?
[19:21] <bazhang> websly, which games? via wine?
[19:21] <websly> no
[19:21] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, thanks will do that
[19:21] <websly> not via wine
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> websly: do you use proprietary video drivers by any chanc
[19:21] <websly> even quake live(which is just a plugin)
[19:21] <bazhang> websly, give us the full details, all on ONE line

[19:22] <bazhang> erzuz, english here please
[19:22] <websly> ill get the shell output
[19:22] <elijah> wylde: Thx, I did that "E: Unable to locate package nautilus-python"
[19:22] <trism> elijah: so, sudo apt-get install python-nautilus;

[19:22] <whoever> hi all is there a good way outside of libreoffice to print envelopes ? libreoffic crashes, when insert> envelope
[19:22] <Guest26923> sure ubottu!, i installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Acer TimelineX 4830tg and everything seems to work fine except the audio. I unmuted the audio, tried to play several files, using different programs. I ran tests according to some links i received thru google search, and unfortunately none of them worked. I can see the volume bar going up and down, but i hear no sound at all
[19:22] <websly> its one of the last lines of output
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> elijah: dpkg -l | grep nautilus
[19:23] <elijah> trism: Thanks, it appears I have that one installed already. The script I am trying to run is calling for nautilus-python though
[19:23] <MirkoKa> blocky: seems to work for me, just a guess, have you kept the exec line intact as the comment says?
[19:23] <LinuxMonkey> ethanr:  yes, but you need to create a installable flash drive, boot from flash drive (like a CD) and then you can install it
[19:23] <trism> elijah: it is nautilus-python, they script may need fixing: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-python/1.1-3 (see binary packages produces from source)
[19:23] <atchalak> *ok sorry, when i start my computer, it shows the screen with the options of deb ug mode and normal launching, but when i choose normal one, it bugs and stop, i just got a black screen without anything written, and when i try with debug mode, it finishes by asking me what i want to do (like do you want to start normally or whatever) and when i choose the option to continue launching, it works but has a graphic bug... everything is r
[19:23] <atchalak> eally big, every flash games or videos are slow and stuff like that. i searched on my system's parameters and my 3D acceleration driver is installed, but i think i dont have the regular one and i dont know how to download and install it... I precise that i'm new on ubuntu. Thanks again for helping me
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> websly: do you use proprietary video drivers?
[19:23] <websly> could it be that I need to reinstall video drivers after upgrading to 12.04?
[19:23] <websly> proprietary?
[19:24] <atchalak> how do i do that ?
[19:24] <websly> what does that mean?
[19:24] <LinuxMonkey> nvidia/ATI
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> websly: nvidia / amd video chip?
[19:24] <atchalak> nvidia
[19:24] <blocky> MirkoKa, the windows entry seems to work but then I get BOOTMGR is missing, and I have a sinking feeling I will need a windows 7 disc to repair that
[19:24] <MirkoKa> websly: official nvidia/ati/.. drivers, not the open-source ones
[19:24] <ethanr> will it fit into 4gb? I don't really need libreoffice or some other apps on the netbook. just browser and such.
[19:24] <websly> I downloaded the driver from ubuntu
[19:24] <websly> so I dont think so
[19:24] <MirkoKa> blocky: yes, that might explain why it hasn't been picked up
[19:24] <LinuxMonkey> ethanr:  yes it will its the same size as the ISO you downloaded almost
[19:25] <websly> the games use to work under the other version of ubuntu
[19:25] <websly> but not after 12.04 upgrade
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> websly: what video chip do you use?
[19:25] <elijah> ActionParsnip: That is a neat command
[19:25] <blocky> do you know if there's a way to restore that without the windows cd?
[19:25] <ethanr> I thought it needed 5 gb... are you sure?
[19:25] <LinuxMonkey> ethanr: is it windows right now?
[19:25] <luckybunny> anyone know how to stop empathy from throwing 'connection untrusted', or at least make it remember the fact that I've OK'd google's certificates?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> elijah: its not graceful but works
[19:25] <websly> is there a way of seeing that in terminal?
[19:26] <ethanr> yes its windows on a separate 16gb ssd, and I'd like to keep that as an option.
[19:26] <ethanr> the 4gb is blank.
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> websly: lspci | grep -i vga
[19:26] <websly> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV620 [Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series]
[19:26] <LinuxMonkey> ethanr: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[19:27] <atchalak> how do i do to know wich graphic card i have ??
[19:27] <LinuxMonkey> ethanr: that will act just like if you had burned the ISO to a CD and booted from CD.
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> websly: uninstall the amd driver, reboot then reinstall it. Its rare that proprietary drivers survive release changes
[19:28] <wylde> atchalak: lspci | grep -i vga
[19:28] <drvanon> ActionParnsip, could you give me some extra instructions on how to get myself back into the group
[19:28] <drvanon> ?
[19:28] <elijah> trism: The script actually just calls for "import nautilus" but when I run Nautilus from the command line, it says http://paste.ubuntu.com/967612/
[19:28] <atchalak> and how do i do the thing after "lspci" ^^'
[19:28] <websly> how to uninstall the driver?
[19:29] <ethanr> LinuxMonkey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)#System_requirements it says here you need 5gb space to install.
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: sudo usermod -a -G admin yourusername
[19:29] <websly> I see that in "aditional drivers" that the driver I installed a while back isnt marked as active anymore
[19:29] <wylde> atchalak: if you're on a US keyboard it's the key above enter with \ and | hold shift to get |
[19:29] <trism> elijah: I'll take a look
[19:29] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, but when i use sudo it says i am not in the sudoers file
[19:29] <atchalak> i got a french keyboard :s
[19:29] <websly> but when I try to act I get activate it, I get an error
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> websly: the additional driver app should be able to remove it
[19:29] <wylde> atchalak: or just copy and paste the command.
[19:30] <wylde> atchalak: ctrl+shft+v to paste into terminal
[19:30] <trism> elijah: ahh, yes, seems it has moved to gobject-introspection
[19:30] <LinuxMonkey> ethanr: then ya on your system you NEED 5GB to install.
[19:30] <trism> elijah: from gi.repository import Nautilus
[19:30] <atchalak> ok thanks
[19:31] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, i am doing some attemps to not shit in my pants now
[19:31] <trism> elijah: the example scripts in /usr/share/doc/python-nautilus/examples/ may be helpful in fixing your script
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: yes, you need to reboot to root recovery mode like I said, or i wouldnt have said you have to reboot to root recover
[19:31] <ethanr> linuxmonkey: is there a lighter weight distro that might fit in 4gb?
[19:31] <websly> Sorry, installation of this driver failed.
[19:31] <websly> Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
[19:31] <elijah> trism: I appreciate it, I will investigate
[19:32] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, i never use recovery mode how would i start it?
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> ethanr: slitaz, puppy, xpud, lubuntu
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: hold shift at boot
[19:33] <drvanon> shift
[19:33] <Milhaus> Hello, does anyone can help how to repair ubuntu, witch was corrupted during installing new version by susped PC to HDD, after that next startup was not succesfull, only to recovery console.
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> ...yes
[19:33] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, was like will look like windows f8 or f12
[19:33] <drvanon> but shift?
[19:33] <wylde> drvanon: reboot, once bios is finished loading press and hold shift. Select the recover mode in the menu.
[19:33] <atchalak> it doesn't work... (ctrl + shift + V)
[19:34] <ethanr> will xubuntu fit into 4gb?

[19:35] <auronandace> Sir_Bugbane_III: hud
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Bugbane_III: dash
[19:35] <Sir_Bugbane_III> ah, thx
[19:35] <wylde> atchalak: ctrl+shift+v is for pasting into the terminal. ctrl+c is for copy ...
[19:35] <Sir_Bugbane_III> 'cause mine isn't coming up and it's hard looking up bugs without the name
[19:35] <wylde> dash/hud?
[19:36] <OerHeks> auronandace, hud = alt
[19:36] <ethanr> how would i use the minimal cd?
[19:36] <auronandace> OerHeks: ah, thanks
[19:36] <OerHeks> hud is awesome
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Never had to use hud personally
[19:37] <drvanon> yay, finnally after atleat 9 attempts
[19:37] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, good at the root now, what should i do?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: run the command i gave
[19:38] <LinuxMonkey> ethanr: if you want xubuntu, requirements are posted at http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[19:38] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, sudo too>
[19:38] <drvanon> ?
[19:39] <Ahti333> hey guys, i installed ubuntu today, next to my windows 7 and had the download updated switch on (i think) but windows was lame so i had to reinstall ubuntu just some minutes ago. this time i did not check the download updates (for whatever reason) and now the icons and such look quite different i think. running update-manager and installing everything available did not change that. what should i do?
[19:39] <coleix> Where can I find the drivers for an nvidia 9300M GS card for a thinkpad sl400?
[19:40] <drvanon> ActionParsnip, usermod: group 'admin'does not exist
[19:40] <ethanr> is the hard drive space requirement different on the alternate cd for regular ubuntu?
[19:40] <coleix> After the laptop sl400 goes to suspension for the first time the screen starts to flicker
[19:40] <jagginess> coleix, apt-cache search nvidia
[19:41] <coleix> thanks jagginess
[19:41] <wylde> isn't admin deprecated? Being replaced by sudo group?
[19:41] <drvanon> wylde, would that change the command to:
[19:42] <drvanon> sudo usermod -a -G sudo marco?
[19:42] <wylde> drvanon: I'm not 100% sure.
[19:42] <wylde> drvanon: that's why the ?'s
[19:42] <coleix> jagginess: It just gives me a lot of command info
[19:42] <LinuxMonkey> wylde yes it is
[19:42] <wylde> drvanon: then yes sudo instead of admin
[19:43] <coleix> should I use nvidia-current?
[19:43] <drvanon> wylde, now it says:
[19:43] <spacebug-> coleix: yes
[19:43] <drvanon> usermod, cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later
[19:44] <drvanon> should i reboot?
[19:44] <coleix> so apt-get install nvidia-currrent?
[19:44] <LinuxMonkey> Up until Ubuntu 11.10, administrator access using the sudo tool was granted via the "admin" Unix group. In Ubuntu 12.04, administrator access will be granted via the "sudo" group. This makes Ubuntu more consistent with the upstream implementation and Debian. For compatibility purposes, the "admin" group will continue to provide sudo/administrator access in 12.04.
[19:44] <LinuxMonkey> :) there's the notice of it wylde
[19:45] <wylde> LinuxMonkey: if the group exists :) It does exist on my 10.04 that I upgraded, but not on this box that was a fresh 12.04 during alpha
[19:45] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, then why does it say admin does not exist?
[19:45] <wylde> drvanon: sorry, I'm not the best to advise on that.
[19:45] <sh1ps> so this is a long shot, but does anyone in here have experience with printing to a thermal printer using lp?
[19:45] <wylde> drvanon: just mmentioning something I thought I had read regarding the admin group :)
[19:46] <sh1ps> more specifically, getting the cutter to work?
[19:46] <LinuxMonkey> cause its not needed.:)
[19:46] <drvanon> okay, so what am i going to do now?
[19:46] <drvanon> stay calm
[19:46] <LinuxMonkey> use the sudo group instad
[19:46] <drvanon> then>
[19:47] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, throws error
[19:47] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later
[19:48] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, reboot?
[19:49] <gaspard> I just got a 3Tb LaCie disk, how do I format it with ext4 without having the fdisk limit ?

[19:50] <gaspard> this is not RAID, just plain USB external disk : Disk /dev/sdc: 3000.6 GB, 3000592982016 bytes

[19:52] <elijah> Do i need the .vim folder?
[19:53] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, the etc/passwd is locked, how do i unlock it?
[19:53] <trism> elijah: not unless you have some plugins/syntax files/custom spelling dictionaries/etc
[19:53] <elijah> trism: K, thanks
[19:53] <LinuxMonkey> drvanon: what are you trying to do?
[19:53] <gaspard> elijah: if .vim is empty, you can safely remove it, if not, just look what's in

[20:10] <abourget> never mind, my fault, I put some fonts in .fonts/ and it seems to have overridden some default fonts :)
[20:10] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, no
[20:10] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, but
[20:11] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, I didn't do it properly
[20:11] <LinuxMonkey> lol
[20:11] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, I should remount somehting
[20:11] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, that is not an option
[20:11] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, the only options given are:
[20:11] <guntbert> !enter | drvanon
[20:12] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, resume; clean; dpkg; failseafex; fsck; grub; network; root and system-summary
[20:13] <LinuxMonkey> drvanon: choose root
[20:13] <coleix> for the nvidia drivers to take effect I would need to restart right? the flicker disappeared without restarting.
[20:14] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, did that
[20:14] <LinuxMonkey> drvanon: then type this: mount -o rw,remount /
[20:14] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, aaah, the name changed
[20:15] <LinuxMonkey> drvanon:  once you do that do: adduser yourusersname sudo
[20:15] <LinuxMonkey> drvanon: then you do exit and boot as normal

[20:22] <trism> elijah: I made most of the changes to get it working: http://pastebin.com/0LG4vHmr except the rest of the Columns need to be uncommented and updated (should be easy to see how from the first few), copy the file to ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/ (this seems to be the new location)
[20:22] <Captain_Proton> quick question for some I just created a new user. Now the term just shows $ and auto complete does not work. I did check I have .bashrc & .profile
[20:22] <LinuxMonkey> drvanon: try rebooting again
[20:23] <trism> elijah: may need a bit more work, I only tested the Title column on a couple mp3s
[20:23] <thafreak> Is there a recommended remote desktop solution? I used to use freenx
[20:23] <modernbob> nx doesn't work anymore
[20:23] <thafreak> I know...so I was wondering if there is a new recommended remote desktop solution
[20:24] <drvanon> LinuxMonkey, maybe it was because i typed reboot
[20:24] <modernbob> thafreak: that was question.. I didn't know if it worked or not
[20:25] <thafreak> oh, not sure...i read somewhere that dependancies are broke...something about esound
[20:25] <thafreak> plus it's ancient
[20:25] <LinuxMonkey> drvanon: ah could be, you should of typed exit and then select resume normal boot, also the menu will stick on the next boot until you select your choice after that its stupposed to be normal
[20:25] <thafreak> was hoping something new might be around
[20:25] <doki_pen> I'm trying to write an upstart script and now the service is stuckin start/killing state
[20:25] <doki_pen> how the heck can I get it out?
[20:25] <drvanon> i see
[20:26] <doki_pen> the program is not running
[20:26] <thafreak> wasn't there a cloud desktop trial thing...what did that use...anyone know?
[20:26] <modernbob> thafreak: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1
[20:26] <modernbob> there is a free version on their site
[20:26] <thafreak> it's not really free
[20:26] <thafreak> not supposed to use it for commercial stuff
[20:26] <modernbob> oh no/
[20:26] <modernbob> ?
[20:26] <thafreak> it's free for "personal" use only
[20:27] <LinuxMonkey> thafreak: ever try VNC?
[20:27] <thafreak> yeah, vnc sucks
[20:28] <daniel> I upgraded to 12.04, and without changing my wireless settings, the connection has stopped working. Initially it kept asking me for my WEP key (which I triple checked was correct), now it just attempts to connect and fails repeatedly. Chipset is Atheros AR9825. Wireless is switched on on the front of my laptop. I made a thread on the forum a couple of days ago but no replies yet.
[20:30] <kel_> daniel try
[20:30] <kel_> ifkill unblock all
[20:30] <kel_> in terminal
[20:30] <bob__> launcher missing when running from cd 12.04 any suggestions hard to demo with it this way?
[20:30] <daniel> kel_, will try that, hang on a second
[20:31] <jagginess> daniel, first you should use at least wpa#/wpa2 .. wep is easily crackable..
[20:31] <kel_> opps its rfkill unblock all
[20:31] <tbrown> Installing Ubuntu 8.04 and going to be learning the terminal. I want to get this done because I want to learn basic like a new operating system:) Because why a old verison because I want to learn the begginning bones of ubuntu:)
[20:31] <jscoder> Can anybody help me? http://askubuntu.com/questions/131693/i-accidently-removed-usr-is-there-a-way-to-recover-it
[20:31] <daniel> jagginess: I live in an incredibly remote area, I don't care about it being crackable, and I'd need permission from my flatmate to switch it to WEP which I won't get
[20:31] <elijah> trism: You da man!
[20:32] <bluj> wpa/wpa2 also works like shit on a lot of wireless chips
[20:32] <daniel> *from WEP even
[20:32] <bob__> short cut keys for bring up terminal?
[20:32] <guntbert> tbrown: using an old version is a bad idea anyway
[20:32] <elijah> trism: I just tested and was able to add the track number based on your format!
[20:32] <guntbert> !language | bluj
[20:33] <LinuxMonkey> !eol | tbrown
[20:33] <kel_> ctrl+alt+t...bob
[20:33] <daniel> kel_, "rfkill unblock all" had no effect
[20:33] <elijah> I am going to clean it and post it back to that thread, I want to give credit to you for helping, what is the best way? Link to website or profile?
[20:33] <bob__> key thanks
[20:34] <kel_> daniel switch over from wep to wpa/wpa2?
[20:34] <bob__> kel thanks
[20:34] <daniel> kel_, I don't have that option, it's not my router, it's my flatmate's
[20:34] <kel_> sounds like your having an ip addressing issue
[20:34] <bob__> launcher missing when running from cd 12.04 any suggestions hard to demo with it this way?
[20:35] <killtrace> I quick question,I have router and 2 more PC beside mine r connected to it,how can I kill them so there is just me,any answer beside pulling up there cabbels
[20:35] <daniel> kel_ what can I do to deal with that?
[20:35] <daniel> If it helps, only the 12.04 system can't access the network, every other device accesses it fine
[20:36] <tbrown> How do I start learning the terminal: I already know Sudo apt-get install, Sudo apt-get update, Sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo su (root), change directory cd .. , cd /root/home/Username/Desktop Different ones like that is there more?
[20:36] <bluj> daniel: obvious question, the password you triple checked for the 12.04 system, is the same password you use on the others? and on the others, youve deleted the wireless connection and readded it with the password to check?
[20:36] <auronandace> killtrace: not ubuntu specific, it would be router specific
[20:36] <kel_> let me check a page right fast If I remember correctly something about cleaning some stuff up
[20:36] <killtrace> any linux terminal command to kill other 2 PC-s
[20:37] <daniel> bluj: The password used on all of them is the one printed on the router, the default one.
[20:37] <kel_> tbrown
[20:37] <kel_> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html
[20:37] <MirkoKa> jscoder: forget it :-) reinstall!  but don't feel bad, we've all done that once, it's an important step to understand how careful one has to be with root
[20:37] <kel_> awesome book
[20:37] <FloodBot1> kel_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:37] <papna> Is it possible to view old pastes that were on paste.pocoo.org anyhwere?
[20:37] <wedgie> tbrown: if you want to use the terminal just start using it for your day to day tasks. When you run into something you don't knwo how to do then google it. That way you'll learn the things that are useful to you
[20:37] <auronandace> killtrace: the router is aware of (and manages) the connections, not your ubuntu box
[20:37] <trism> elijah: no credit necessary, maybe mention help from #ubuntu
[20:37] <bluj> daniel: there isn't ever a default wireless password on a router.. sorry to be pedantic i just want to make sure youve limited the scope properly to your ubuntu box
[20:38] <bluj> daniel: i'd consult your /var/log for network manager messages
[20:38] <tbrown> Kel_: wedgie: You guys are greate thank you:)
[20:38] <daniel> bluj: What's the password that the router came set up with if it isn't the default?
[20:38] <dzragon> How to get to Pidgin prefs/settings in Unity? Cant find a button anywhere on the program.
[20:39] <oliver_> hi
[20:39] <bluj> daniel: there is a default password to access a router initially, through wired connection, but the wireless password (and SSID/network name) is always set by the owner initially
[20:39] <wylde> dzragon: select the pidgin window and look at the top unity bar for menu :)
[20:39] <oliver_> is there a way to have ssh password remembered in the current session, even if I don't use key authentication?
[20:40] <auronandace> killtrace: please don't pm, why would your ubuntu box be host of your router? the router is in charge of all connections
[20:40] <dzragon> wylde, aaah thanks! omg, why didnt i check it, i check every other prog there
[20:40] <wylde> dzragon: hehe np :)
[20:40] <daniel> bluj: I have never connected to this router through a wired connection. It came with a random 8 digit number on the back that said "WEP KEY" in front of it. That's what I used initially to set it up and I've never changed that. Likewise the SSID was factory set.
[20:41] <wylde> daniel: using wep to secure your router is like locking you front door with scotch tape...just sayin'
[20:41] <bluj> daniel: ah k.. slightly different arrangement. but the original question i was asking is if you've wiped the wireless config settings from a working system, readded it with that password, and verified it works? also you really need to check network manager logs
[20:41] <kel_> daniel have you done these commands
[20:41] <kel_> sudo lshw -C network
[20:42] <bluj> kel_: he has a wireless interface
[20:42] <sysdoc> wylde, lol
[20:42] <kel_> ahh
[20:42] <daniel> wylde: I live on an island with a population of 20 people. I don't lock my front door ever and I don't need to secure my network.
[20:42] <bluj> ^^ lol
[20:42] <copacetic> has anyone got grub working with uefi, I followed the instructions, and all I've managed to do is have windows bootloader claim that its broken
[20:42] <wylde> daniel: fair enough :)
[20:43] <daniel> kel_, yeah, I tried the command and it did nothing
[20:43] <elijah> trism: Okay, I mentioned your name in the changelog of the file and #ubuntu and will do so when I post. Cheers
[20:43] <daniel> bluj, yes I've done that on the Windows 7 box. Still works. What am I looking for in the network manager logs?
[20:43] <sysdoc> daniel, we're coming to your place for the party, right?
[20:44] <EvilResistance> !offtopic | sysdoc
[20:44] <bluj> daniel: ok perfect.. well anything for now. have you located which log it is? i would think /var/log/sys/log... you should tail the logfile, try a connection, and see what it says: sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
[20:44] <oliver_> (duh, my fault - this can be done with ssh -M and setting up ~/.ssh/config correctly - and I had already done this a year ago :-)
[20:44] <sysdoc> EvilResistance, sorry
[20:44] <whoever> need help with a2ps trying to print to a shard printer that is not localy attached and the printer is set as my system default printer
[20:45] <daniel> sysdoc: Good luck getting here for the party, how's your rowing?
[20:45] <kel_> we have motor boats
[20:45] <daniel> bluj: Tail before or after I try a connection?
[20:45] <sysdoc> daniel, I'm parachuting in... :)
[20:46] <bluj> daniel: before, the '-f' flag means follow, so it will print anything new since you first run tail
[20:46] <daniel> Right
[20:48] <daniel> bluj: There's a lot of information here, what am I looking for?
[20:48] <bluj> daniel: well.. use your best judgement but something error related
[20:48] <jagginess> kel_, m(.)t(.)rboats?
[20:49] <bluj> daniel: im not quite sure what you mean 'fails repeatedly".. so, does it keep prompting you for password? does it deny you and exit ~cleanly? whatever it is, the related network manager logs should tell you the reason its doing that
[20:49] <bstarek> hello
[20:50] <daniel> bluj: It just keeps saying "wireless disconnected", then it attempts to reconnect, then "wireless disconnected", etc.
[20:50] <IsoLinCHiP> Hi, does anyone know of an implementation of pacman or ports for ubuntu? Or some other lightweight package from source management system?
[20:50] <ethanr> Can I install Ubuntu onto my hard drive (or ssd) and use an sd card slot for my /usr, /etc, /bin, and /home folders to save space on the main ssd?
[20:50] <daniel> Also bluj, it appears to only be looking for IPv6 routers, pretty sure this one is IPv4?
[20:50] <bluj> daniel: nothing before the wireless disconnected?
[20:51] <auronandace> IsoLinCHiP: better off just sticking to archlinux if you really want pacman
[20:51] <bstarek> how is everybody doing, I am havin problem watching videos other than youtube
[20:51] <bluj> daniel: well.. it should make a connection to the network first without needing any knowledge of what layer 3 protocol it is.
[20:51] <kel_> bstarek can you be more direct
[20:51] <MirkoKa> IsoLinCHiP: /etc, /bin/ and /sbin should never be moved to an own partition, /usr/, /var, /home, /tmp can easily be moved
[20:51] <kel_> like video extensions....
[20:52] <bstarek> kel_: sorry my XChat is giving me a hard time
[20:52] <barf> Any channel for GUI programming?
[20:52] <daniel> (wlan0): device state change: ip-config -> disconnected (reason 'user-requested')
[20:52] <ethanr> can i move the folder where applications are stored to the sd card?
[20:52] <auronandace> !alis | barf
[20:53] <daniel> User-Requested? I didn't touch anything...
[20:53] <auronandace> !fhs | ethanr
[20:53] <IsoLinCHiP> auronandace: Hehe, I like debian as my base, arch doesnt like me. But the package recipies for ABS are so much simpler than the instructions for .debs .
[20:53] <bstarek> kel_: its lagginn
[20:54] <kel_> on everything but streaming videos?
[20:54] <zykotic10> ethanr: are you aware how slow SD cards over USB are?
[20:54] <bluj> daniel: user-requested will mean some other process running in the background i'm sure.. it might be dhcp related.. hmm does "pgrep dhclient" return anything?
[20:54] <ethanr> I have a really small ssd (4gb) on a netbook, and I am looking to be able to install ubuntu onto it and putting all my user data and programs onto an sd card to save space.
[20:54] <bstarek> can you guys please suggest another IRC client alternativ to Xchat?
[20:54] <dontknow> hi
[20:55] <LinuxMonkey> bstarek: most of us use irssi
[20:55] <|Pasha> bstarek: irssi is good :p
[20:55] <auronandace> IsoLinCHiP: i've always preferred pacman over apt-get, but i doubt you'd find a replacement for apt-get on debian based systems
[20:55] <zykotic10> ethanr: regular ubuntu (even with a separate home) is really to large for a 4GB drive, you could use mini.iso and just install "some" of ubuntu.
[20:56] <bstarek> LinuxMonkey, |Pasha , Isnt that a  CMD client? :)
[20:56] <daniel> bluj: it returns 10069
[20:56] <zykotic10> bstarek: irssi if you're into command line
[20:56] <sulaiman> Greetings, I installed php5-mysql package, but pdo_mysql is still not enabled
[20:56] <LinuxMonkey> bstarek: yes it runs in a terminal :)
[20:56] <ethanr> is there a step by step for using the mini.iso to do what you said?
[20:56] <sulaiman> when I installed php-sqlite, it loaded the pdo_sqlite driver
[20:56] <kel_> bstaarek lshw command it will tell us what video card your running and what drivers in use
[20:56] <bluj> daniel: k thats good.. random question do you have something called mobloquer installed?
[20:56] <sulaiman> oh, sorry, wrong channel
[20:57] <IsoLinCHiP> auronandace: Im not looking to replace it just to augment it for a few programs I regularly compile from VCS repositorys and install in my home directory
[20:57] <bstarek> LinuxMonkey, yeah I have tried it....very light very fast...but Xchat looks more "Nice" lol
[20:57] <bstarek> zykotic10, i figured man ;)
[20:57] <neo___> how to protect my ubuntu from RATs and keyloggers
[20:57] <daniel> bluj: Not that I know of, how do I check?
[20:57] <kel_> be smart :)
[20:58] <auronandace> IsoLinCHiP: i severely doubt it would work, using more than one package management system is asking for trouble
[20:58] <bluj> daniel: well i'm sure youd know if you downloaded it.. some guy posted the exact same problem for AR9825 on 12.04 lts, but it was this third party software blocking the connection. if you have any supplemental network config/firewall software, id turn it off
[20:58] <MrBusiness> 'd up bad
[20:59] <Fyodorovna> neo___, You are already protected you run in a safe account needing a password to root,  use the web safely and only install legit stuff.
[20:59] <MirkoKa> neo___: not needed usually, linux doesn't really have a malware problem. if you're paranoid enough, then don't use the universe repo, no PPA's  and not browser addons
[20:59] <IsoLinCHiP> auronandace: Not if they arent managing the same filetree IMHO, they should for the most part ignore each others existance ;)
[20:59] <daniel> bluj: I don't at all, sorry
[20:59] <daniel> I've only had this laptop 2 or 3 months
[20:59] <auronandace> IsoLinCHiP: have fun with dependencies :)
[21:00] <ethanr> zykotic10: is there a step by step for using the mini.iso to do what you said?
[21:00] <IsoLinCHiP> auronandace: Hehe, jupp, I well aware hat will be an issue :) But since I only intend to do it for a handful, it should be manageable
[21:01] <zykotic10> ethanr: not that i'm aware of.  mini.iso installs a small command line environment that you can then apt-get install only what you want/need.  if you aren't familiar with ubuntu, i'm not sure it would be a good match.
[21:01] <neo___> Fyodorovna, MirkoKa  I had to clear my point, i'm talking about physical security if the hacker  gain access, i have full HD encryption but may something resides in the data, so is there a way to confirm the existance of running RAT?
[21:02] <Fyodorovna> neo___, what is RAT
[21:02] <tald> tal
[21:02] <neo___> Fyodorovna, Remote Access Trojan
[21:02] <MirkoKa> neo___: there is no physical security
[21:02] <ethanr> zykotic10: would xubuntu be better?
[21:03] <R33p3r_>  haillo
[21:03] <zykotic10> ethanr: sorry not sure what the disk requirement is for xubuntu...  maybe.
[21:03] <Fyodorovna> neo___, your only worry are rootkits there are no trojans, viri and other badware that runs in linux basically on the web.
[21:03] <daniel> bluj: Any other suggestions at all?
[21:03] <ethanr> zykotic10 do you know where I could find that info?
[21:04] <Fyodorovna> neo___, if somebody hacks in your screwea back everything up so your covered.
[21:04] <Fyodorovna> *screwed
[21:04] <zykotic10> !xubuntu | ethanr maybe?
[21:05] <anatomist> where did the startup-manager go? has it been replaces?
[21:05] <Fyodorovna> anatomist, still there.
[21:05] <anatomist> where did the startup-manager go? has it been replaced?
[21:05] <zykotic10> ethanr: any *buntu is going to be cramped with 4GB, i had several EEE 701 with 4GB
[21:05] <neo___> Fyodorovna, if I ran rkhunter after the system is infected, will it discover it or its useless/ whats the solution then?
[21:05] <Fyodorovna> anatomist, hit the dash and type it in
[21:05] <anatomist> Fyodorovna,  was looking in the software store, didnt ind it
[21:06] <ethanr> zykotic10: ok. i really like ubuntu, is there a way that I can put it onto an sd card (I know it'll be slow)?
[21:07] <zykotic10> ethanr: yes that's possible (yes it would be SLOW).
[21:07] <ethanr> zykotic10 any stepbysteps for that?
[21:07] <Quantum_Ion> ethanr, You must have a lot of time on your hands might be better with a USB stick though
[21:07] <zykotic10> ethanr: not that i'm aware of, i'm not really the right person to ask for links (i don't use many)
[21:08] <anatomist> Fyodorovna,  was looking in the software store, didnt find it
[21:08] <FRodrigues> usb is faster than a SD card?
[21:08] <Fyodorovna> neo___, rkhunter is best setup on a fresh install and everything cleared that it shows a warning on. I would not rely on it completely, you're really rather safe in linux, except from malicious friends who will hack you. Have a good password that cannot be dictionary cracked random numbers letters symbols and long enough
[21:08] <auronandace> anatomist: startup manager is installed by default
[21:08] <zykotic10> FRodrigues: most SD card slots are actually USB connections
[21:09] <vivid> anyone have an idea how to stream music from ubuntu to my xbox 360?
[21:09] <Fyodorovna> neo___, rkhunter after yoiu have it set up is a okay check.
[21:10] <ethanr> so basically it would be really hard to get it onto my ssd. i've tried ubuntu with wubi onto an sd card, that worked great until /home got corrupted. is there any way to rebuild it?
[21:10] <ghabit> Hello. How to setup minidlna? How to add minidlna to start on boot?
[21:11] <ethanr> zykotic10 i've tried ubuntu with wubi onto an sd card, that worked great until /home got corrupted. is there any way to rebuild it?
[21:12] <t0rx__> Anyone know the PPA for the mainline kernel on 12.04 to update to 3.3.4 via apt-get?
[21:12] <auronandace> ethanr: wubi works inside a windows installation, are you saying you had wubi in windows on an sd card?
[21:14] <ethanr> auronandace: windows is on an ssd on the computer. i told wubi, in windows, to install ubuntu onto an sd card.
[21:15] <anatomist> anyone want to recomend me a grub2 manager?
[21:15] <auronandace> ethanr: so that would be a normal install, just through wubi
[21:15] <auronandace> anatomist: manager?
[21:15] <markburberry32> Good evening all. I wonder if someone could help me for one moment - I'm looking for some decent 3D software to use in Ubuntu or Kubuntu (preferably something universal if available) - is one available for these distros?
[21:16] <anatomist> yes, like in mamaging what os i want grub to load on default
[21:16] <ethanr> auronandace: yes. the /home folder got corrupted, is there a way to rebuild it from scratch?
[21:16] <auronandace> ethanr: i've never had corrupted partitions, so i don't know
[21:17] <markburberry32> When I say 3D software, I mean for imaging - like building a 3D model, colouring and if possible, making it move.
[21:17] <IsoLinCHiP> Or does someone maybe have an idea what better search terms to use than "ports like ubuntu", Im getting too much 'noise' from networking or the architechtures debian has been ported to?
[21:17] <auronandace> anatomist: /etc/default/grub that file will let you change which boots first
[21:18] <auronandace> anatomist: there is no gui manager as such (as far as i know)
[21:18] <auronandace> anatomist: after editing /etc/default/grub you will need to: sudo update-grub
[21:18] <MirkoKa> markburberry32: blender?
[21:19] <t0rx__> If I need to recompile the Kernel is it ok to use one from Kernel.org or should I use an ubuntu mainline?
[21:19] <markburberry32> MirkoKa, ok, I'll take a look at that, if it's relatively easy to use I'll give it a try. This is a guest machine for me, not my normal distribution, but I now have permission to install other stuff on it, so thanks :)

[21:25] <captine> hi all.  just to confirm, i dont need any additional drivers for the built in Intel graphics on i7 processor, right?  all is working, but i find my screen flashes when using compiz cube effects.  just wondering if this is linked to drivers
[21:26] <skutr34`> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04, and I installed Synaptic Package Manager, and when I run it I get an authentication prompt, I type in my password, and nothing happens. I'm relatively new to Ubuntu so please forgive me for my lack of knowledge.
[21:26] <captine> just use bumblebee for the nvidia optimus card
[21:27] <auronandace> skutr34`: do you still have software centre running?
[21:27] <action09> no CVE-2012-0779 link in ubuntu ?  url not found say me..
[21:27] <skutr34`> auronandace: Yes
[21:28] <JohnC66> Does anyone know if https://help.ubuntu.com server is down?
[21:28] <skutr34`> auronandace: I dislike it though
[21:28] <auronandace> skutr34`: you can't have more than 1 package manager open at the same time
[21:28] <auronandace> skutr34`: close software centre, i prefer synaptic too
[21:29] <skutr34`> auronandace: Oh, I thought you were asking if it ran properly. In that case, no I do not have them both running at the same time. (I know that much ):)
[21:29] <neo___> Fyodorovna,  is there a way to check for Firmware rootkits?
[21:29] <MirkoKa> JohnC66: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/help.ubuntu.com
[21:29] <blocky> anyone know what it means if my boot hangs with 'init: failed to create pty'
[21:30] <Xeneth> Anyone know of a way to control the resource usage of "tracker-miner-fs" in Gnome3?  it's a problem across all Distro's from what I found.
[21:31] <Fyodorovna> neo___, not sure really, to be honest if you really think your infected this is not really the place to fix this from. Get professional help in linux.
[21:31] <JohnC66> Thanks Mirkoka
[21:31] <skutr34`> auronandace: I'm not really sure how to fix this problem. When the authentication prompt disappears, nothing happens..
[21:32] <neo___> Fyodorovna, thank you so much, do you recommend a channel where I can find such kind of support?
[21:32] <Fyodorovna> neo___, this is a ubuntu support channel so there are people who know this stuff here at times, but any legit IT pro would say have backups and replace when infected.
[21:32] <syslq> neo___: chkrootkit and rootkithunter might be interesting ah, also unhide
[21:33] <blocky> why is the grub prompt saying unknown command kernel, unknown command root, etc
[21:33] <auronandace> skutr34`: try running it from commandline, might output something useful: gksudo synaptic
[21:33] <skutr34`> auronandace: Okay, so it works if I run it using gksudo, but not when I run it "normally" I guess
[21:33] <JeGueeR94> Hello there! How you got infected neo__?
[21:34] <auronandace> skutr34`: how are you running it normally?
[21:34] <Fyodorovna> neo___, I would not use the IRC really for this myself, but I never have problems and run windows and linux, just safe surfing and the correct protection, and clone of clean OS's.
[21:35] <skutr34`> auronandace: LXDE button>Preferences>Synaptic Package Manager
[21:35] <auronandace> skutr34`: hmm, strange
[21:36] <skutr34`> auronandace: yeah
[21:37] <auronandace> skutr34`: i wonder if it would do the same if you made a launcher
[21:38] <JeGueeR94> Sombody know at which cannel I can chat about ubuntu but in spanish?
[21:38] <tbrown> I just got done reading ubuntu pocket handbook or what ever. And I will say the guy that mad all of this possible Thank you:) And free is good and learning a basic opearting system is the way to go I think so:)
[21:39] <auronandace> JeGueeR94: there is a spanish support channel, but not sure if there is an offtopic one for ubuntu'
[21:40] <JeGueeR94> (auronandace) It doesnt matter. Can you tell me...?
[21:40] <auronandace> !es | JeGueeR94
[21:46] <apan_> hello, anyone here who got some spare time on their hands, and feel like helping me out, making a fresh install of ubuntu server 11.10, i would need some help according setting up my partitioning (new user - got ubuntu disk aswell as gparted ready)? :-)
[21:46] <syslq> apan_: what you need to know?
[21:47] <apan_> hello syslq , i installed/reinstalled ubuntu 3 times now, and i feel i dont get a hang of the partitioning part
[21:47] <syslq> pm me
[21:47] <apan_> alright
[21:48] <elspuddy> question, when useing the console what do green files meen ?
[21:50] <MirkoKa> elspuddy: depends on your colorscheme, better post the output of an "ls -l a_file_that_is_green"
[21:50] <jafox> hi, upgrade tool says i need to free 1G from / in order to upgrade to 12.04. are there any obvious packages to remove in this scenario? what would you wipe?
[21:51] <elspuddy> MirkoKa, its the defult theme
[21:52] <Gagarix> Greetings!
[21:52] <MirkoKa> jafox: the package cache /var/cache/apt/archive, old kernel, unused docs and locales, user file (in home that nobody needs anymore) if you have a seperate home, unpacked sources, etc
[21:53] <elspuddy> -rwxrwxr-- 1 elspuddy elspuddy 7004 May  2 11:27 srcds_linux
[21:53] <Gagarix> I hope this is the right channel... on my ubuntu installation, I've managed to mess up some symlinks (It's a wubi install, I moved and symlinked /tmp to /host/tmp) and now the system stops at the loading screen with the Ubuntu logo and five red dots.
[21:53] <Gagarix> Is there any way to solve the problem without reinstalling everything ? :s
[21:55] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: You should be able to press a key at start-up to show the Window boot-loader menu, and choose the Ubuntu Recovery option which takes you to a minimal shell prompt to do repairs (Sorry, I've not used wubi specifically so can't guide you step-by-step)
[21:55] <Gagarix> Unfortunately, in the Windows boot-loader, all the choices I have are booting into Windows or into Ubuntu.
[21:55] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: Hmmmm!
[21:56] <dzragon> anyone that could help a newbie that longs for 120hz in ubuntu?
[21:56] <Gagarix> And whereas the Windows option provides an additional F8 for advanced options, the Ubuntu option does not.
[21:56] <MirkoKa> elspuddy: probably that the file is executable. is it a file on a windows partition?
[21:56] <lh-456> I start ibus-daemon in tty1,but when i return the unity i cannot see the  gui,why? it works,but can't see gui
[21:57] <krababbel> Gagarix: did you try f12 or delete maybe?
[21:57] <Gagarix> krababbel: Let me give it a shot. One moment.
[21:58] <jafox> MirkoKa: thanks for advice
[21:58] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: I see this in the Wubi guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_can_I_access_my_Wubi_install_and_repair_my_install_if_it_won.27t_boot.3F
[21:58] <krababbel> Gagarix: At lest the live installer on usb gave me an option then.
[21:59] <elspuddy> MirkoKa, nope, its on my ubuntu box
[21:59] <dzragon> A handjob, figuratively speaking, for a solution to getting 120hz working on my Syncmaster 2233rz!
[21:59] <elspuddy> i know its a half life server file
[22:01] <Gagarix> Ok, I managed to get it to show the info screen where it lists all the things happening. It seems to get stuck on "Checking battery state" O_o
[22:02] <orazio1> ciao a tutti
[22:02] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: When you access the Windows boot-loader menu does it allow you to edit the boot parameters of the Ubuntu installation before boot? If so, you can remove "quiet splash" and add "debug single" to get to a minimal single-user root prompt
[22:02] <orazio1> !list
[22:03] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: Unfortunately it doesn't.
[22:03] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: Grrrr!
[22:03] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: Do you think it would be possible to change the boot parameters from Windows' msconfig ?
[22:03] <sirriffsalot> I'm using KVIrc, why do I keep having file transfers pop up in KVIrc?
[22:04] <skutr34> Hey, I just installed LXDE and switched to LXDM, and when I get to the login screen few weird accounts come up
[22:04] <sirriffsalot> skarif: Ok?
[22:04] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: Yes, it is. Which version of Windows are you working with?
[22:04] <Monotoko> hmmm, why does ubottu talk about werez if you do !list ?
[22:04] <skutr34> I don't know how to get them off. They aren't really accounts, it just says stuff about daemon...
[22:05] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: Windows 7
[22:06] <MirkoKa> elspuddy: as I said the green color refers to executable file (wasn't that yellow once?). why do you care about the color, the permissions (and file-type) are important, colors change
[22:06] <jim0203> How can I check which version of a particular package apt-get is going to install? i.e. what will apt-get install php5 get me?
[22:06]  * Gagarix patiently waits for Wintendo to load.
[22:07] <Gagarix> jim0203: The version tends to be in the package name ? ;)
[22:07] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: From what I read Bootcfg.exe should let you edit the boot loader menus
[22:07] <elspuddy> MirkoKa, just trying to figure out why a plugin is not working for a tf2 server
[22:07] <IntuitiveNipple> jim0203: apt-cache policy <package-name>
[22:07] <jim0203> Gagarix: haha … yeah, sure … but will it be 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4?
[22:08] <MirkoKa> skutr34: like qmail users? had them too and just removed them from /etc/passwd since I know I don't need them
[22:08] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: Okay, checking that out now.
[22:08] <jim0203> IntuitiveNipple: brilliant, thank you!
[22:09] <jim0203> Is there a way that I can use apt-get to specify a specific version of a package to download and install?
[22:09] <IntuitiveNipple> jim0203: Yes, you can use "pinning" to specify the version
[22:11] <jim0203> IntuitiveNipple: thanks :) Is there no way to be specific about a version? Or are older versions cleared off servers once newer versions are available? Say, for example, I wanted to install PHP 5.2?
[22:11] <skutr34> Hey, I just installed LXDM and in the user list it only displays syslog, usb daemon, and saned, but not my account
[22:11] <mrkrrtft> hi folks
[22:12] <IntuitiveNipple> jim0203: eg: apt-get install php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu2
[22:12] <IntuitiveNipple> jim0203: Older versions can usually be found on the archive servers but will usually have been removed from the package lists that apt-get update fetches
[22:13] <skutr34> I'm not sure how to fix it. I am relatively new to Ubuntu.
[22:13] <OerHeks> jim0203, you can still enable old repository's, all you need is to add "old-releases" see >> http://www.snowfrog.net/2009/05/02/apt-sourceslist-for-old-versions-of-ubuntu/
[22:13] <scrote> why does gnome classic automount my usbdrive as readonly?
[22:13] <jiohdi> anyone else experience flash making blue people?
[22:13] <scrote> doesn't that sorta defeat the purpose of ubuntu and automount?
[22:13] <IntuitiveNipple> jim0203: The main problem with trying to install an older, complex, package is that its list of dependencies (other packages it needs) conflict with the currently installed versions so it can be a nightmare at times
[22:14] <scrote> now what do I have to type to make the writable
[22:14] <jost> jiohdi, I am
[22:14] <jiohdi> suddnely I have youtube blue man group on every video
[22:14] <dzragon> scrote just read up on that and fixed it myself, wait
[22:14] <jost> I would be interested in a solution as well :-)
[22:15] <IntuitiveNipple> OerHeks: That's more for older distribution versions, not individual packages
[22:15] <dzragon> scrote: sudo apt-get install pysdm
[22:15] <IntuitiveNipple> Blue people?
[22:15] <dzragon> and read up on: http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14
[22:15] <jiohdi> I see blue people
[22:15] <dzragon> but works for any partition i guess
[22:15] <Nk26> Hello, I was curious, when I connect to ubuntu server it gives me a small status update of whats going on with the system. the load/free space and stuff. Is there anyway to access that without logging in?
[22:15] <jiohdi> purple sometimes
[22:16] <jiohdi> it happened on an upgrade to lubuntu but not on the actual ubuntu
[22:16] <jost> Sometimes (most of the time, not always) Flash videos have a color error, people become blue (and other colors change too, i believe)
[22:16] <IntuitiveNipple> Nk26: No . It is the contents of the file /etc/motd (message-of-the-day) which is auto-generated
[22:16] <IntuitiveNipple> Nk26: you could use 'scp' to fetch it though
[22:17] <Nk26> Interesting ok thanks! I can work with that
[22:17] <Restringere> Hey, I have a Dell Vostro 1500, dual core 2.2ghz, 2 gigs of ddr2 ram, Nvidia 8400M GS, but the video performance is very jittery and GIMP 2.8 runs with strange lag and practically in slow motion
[22:17] <Restringere> How can I fix the jittery video performance and the lags with Nvidia tweaks?
[22:17] <jiohdi> is gimp 2.8 stable?
[22:17] <Restringere> yes
[22:18] <modernbob> jiohdi: yes.. been using it for a few days
[22:18] <Restringere> GIMP 2.8 Stable, for some reason the GIMP 2.8 RC1 worked much better
[22:18] <zykotic10> Nk26: "uptime" "free" and "top" might show what you are looking for
[22:18] <jiohdi> wow, I have been reading about the coming 2.8 for like 10 years now :)
[22:19] <josten> I just upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04.  I'd like my dash to disappear when I open an application to full screen.  Now it seems I just have the option to have it hidden all the time, even when I'm on the desktop.
[22:19] <MirkoKa> Nk26: in case you (or some other) is interested, that stuff happens in /etc/update-motd.d (took me some time to get rid of the annoying "new packages available" message ^^
[22:19] <jiohdi> Restringere, can you get it from official channels or do you have to assemble it?
[22:19] <Restringere> jiohdi, from the PPA Otto Kessler
[22:19] <Restringere> google it
[22:19] <jiohdi> that will break 2.6 wont it
[22:19] <Restringere> but it sucks, I regret upgrading should have stuck with 2.8 rc 1, the performance lags terribly and is jittery
[22:20] <jiohdi> I will wait :)
[22:20] <jiohdi> isnt there a drag and drop way to move open windows between desktops in Unity?
[22:20] <Restringere> I have a good setup - dual core 2.2ghz, 2 gigs of ddr2 ram, Nvidia 8400M GS - and GIMP 2.8 was slow slow slow jittery and horrible
[22:21] <Restringere> I dont know why 12.10 running XFCE is so jittery
[22:21] <Restringere> Any tips?
[22:21] <Restringere> And there is strange load and lag
[22:21] <wassup1> hello
[22:22] <jiohdi> xfce has always been light and fast, but I have never run it without having issues after about the 3rd boot
[22:22] <IntuitiveNipple> 12.10 already !?!?!
[22:22] <jiohdi> 12.10 is octuber
[22:22] <Restringere> is this load average ok 0.81, 0.77, 0.79
[22:22] <wassup1> is there a possibility/need to 'stream' an application onto an ubuntu live cd?
[22:22] <Restringere> I dont know why its acting so strange
[22:22] <Restringere> Is there a way to increase performance other than the typical settings?
[22:23] <rootcoma> Restringere, that's fine. That is the number of processes running per second
[22:23] <jiohdi> Restringere, puppy linux ;)
[22:23] <jim0203> IntuitiveNipple: Thanks - and what's the best way of finding out what versions of a package are available?
[22:24] <Restringere> rootcoma jiohdi, seriously is there a better solution using Ubuntu base?
[22:24] <Restringere> I love the base
[22:24] <jiohdi> Restringere, icewm
[22:25] <jiohdi> add a cairo-dock or avant-window-navigator or docky and you will have a much faster syste
[22:25] <jiohdi> m
[22:25] <jiohdi> no compositing of course
[22:25] <zykotic10> Restringere: load of < 1 means your cpu isn't 100% used.  Currently my load is load average: 9.28, 9.67, 9.61 - but my computer is busy
[22:25] <modernbob> Restringere: I am running gimp with a 560ti geforce on ubuntu 12.04 and its really fast. I do a lot of web design and use gimp quite a bit..
[22:26] <IntuitiveNipple> jim0203: First thing I always do is search for a Personal Package Archive (PPA) contaning the package-version I need, that's the easiest way to get them. Other than that I'll use a web browser to navigate http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ to find the package I want PLUS any unique dependencies it wants, download them then use "sudo dpkg -i <package-version>.deb" to install them
[22:26] <MirkoKa> jiohdi: the only thing I've found is the  workspace swicther icon in the favorites bar (or how ever that is called), click on it to get a 2x2 view of the desktop, there you can drag'n'drop windows between the work spaces
[22:26] <modernbob> os[Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64] distro[Ubuntu "precise" 12.04] cpu[8 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 4.10GHz] mem[Physical: 15.7GB, 88.5% free] disk[Total: 4.1TB, 90.0% free] video[NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX 560]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH1: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia2: USB-Audio - HP USB Webcam]
[22:26] <jiohdi> MirkoKa, that does not seem to work in 2d is that only for 3d?
[22:26] <Restringere> modernbob, but Im on a Vostro 1500, so my specs arent that great
[22:27] <modernbob> maybe that is it.. not sure..
[22:27] <modernbob> I haven't run 2.8 on any other machine
[22:27] <zamba> i'm unable to set the desktop background by using gconftool-2.. i've installed gnome-session-fallback, so i'm using gnome classic..
[22:27] <Restringere> modernbob, its really a slow one
[22:27] <MirkoKa> jiohdi: perhaps, sorry can't help better at the moment, need to get familar with this &/%$&%(/%&) myself
[22:27] <zamba> i tried the following: gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename <path>
[22:27] <modernbob> I will load it up on my laptop and see what happens
[22:28] <Restringere> it dont get it
[22:28] <Restringere> 2.8 RC1 worked brilliantly on my system
[22:28] <Restringere> but 2.8 Stable is a dog
[22:28] <Restringere> I was editing huge 30 mb PDF's with no problems
[22:28] <Restringere> How can I get it again?
[22:28] <modernbob> Restringere: it literally starts in like 1 second on this machine
[22:28] <Restringere> How do I specify apt-get to get a certain version
[22:29] <Restringere> But use the paint tools, you will see a lag
[22:29] <zykotic10> Restringere: apt-get doesn't really have version support, it installs the newest available in your repositories
[22:29] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: apt-get install <package>=<version>
[22:29] <zykotic10> IntuitiveNipple: neat!
[22:29] <Restringere> Thanks
[22:30] <Scroggins10> Is there a command that can remove all capital letters in all directories within a directory?
[22:30] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: see "man apt-get" for more nuances
[22:30] <modernbob> IntuitiveNipple: thats an awesome nick..  :-)
[22:30] <tbrown> installing 8.04
[22:30] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple, are your familiar with tweaking nVidia drivers and such to improve 12.04 performance?
[22:30] <krababbel> I added a vlan interface, but I can't configure it in networkmanager. It shows a null object and crashes if I select it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=703387
[22:30] <IntuitiveNipple> modern: Thanks. It came from the saying "The only intuitive interface is the nipple; everything else is learned"
[22:30] <trism> zamba: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///path/to/image;
[22:30] <Scroggins10> Is there a command that can remove all capital letters in all directories within a directory?
[22:30] <modernbob> hehe.. I need to tel my wife that one
[22:31] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: What tweaking is required? In my experience, aside from choosing to sync to vertical retrace, there's no tweaking required
[22:31] <zamba> trism: sweet.. thanks :)
[22:31] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple, why is my video jittery at 16 million colors?
[22:31] <Restringere> Things fly around the screen a bit, and GIMP 2.8 is slow
[22:32] <Restringere> When I put the GPU extensions on in Chromium it has a strange lag with highlighting text
[22:32] <zykotic10> modernbob: this might help?  for i in * ; do mv $i `echo $i | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'`; done
[22:32] <zykotic10> Scroggins10: ^
[22:32] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: First thing to inspect are all the log files in /var/log/ to see if there are any clues in any of them of something not quite right when the system experiences the issues.
[22:32] <Restringere> What should  I look for, errors?
[22:33] <dem0n> anyone here familiar with Ubuntu ARM ?
[22:33] <Ztane> BCM4313 woes here, rebooted my 1215N here, and wireless adapter does not even show up in network manager applet...
[22:33] <IntuitiveNipple> zykotic10: Better to use "rename"
[22:33] <tbrown> I was wondering if there was a way that I can update a old version of ubuntu 8.04. Because it said that is was not supported:(
[22:33] <Ztane> grr, worked so fine in 3 previous ubuntus
[22:33] <Ztane> any ideas?
[22:34] <IntuitiveNipple> dem0n: what's your question?
[22:34] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple, which logs contain video card data?
[22:34] <Scroggins10> @zykotic10 ?
[22:34] <Ztane> do I have to use restricted drivers (again)
[22:35] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: I'd look in /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and maybe ~/.xsession-errors
[22:35] <modernbob> zykotic10: I was going to ask what that was for
[22:35] <jrib> !upgrade | tbrown
[22:35] <zykotic10> modernbob: sorry, it was for Scroggins10 -- i had a TAB fail, my bad.
[22:35] <modernbob> not an issue
[22:35] <dem0n> IntuitiveNipple: i am trying to find applications that will work with ubuntu ARM and that come in .deb files, for example i just found finally irssi for ubuntu ARM in a .deb file that worked for linux for my android phone
[22:37] <zykotic10> dem0n: just sayin' - you might have better luck with Debian on ARM then Ubuntu... YMMV
[22:37] <Ztane> 1 clean precise boot with everything working ?, and now missing wlan :(
[22:39] <Ztane> is there any really uptodateBCM43xx info available?
[22:41] <krababbel> Does networkmanager support vlans already?
[22:42] <dem0n> zykotic10: i ask in #ubuntu because i am using ubuntu 12 ARM for my android phone...
[22:42] <MirkoKa> any idea why the tty's (F1 - F6) are all black (I know they work, flight-blind entered DISPLAY=:0 xterm). I use the proprietary nvidia drivers and except from the tty's all is fine
[22:42] <foolove> i want to zcat a gzip file and pring the 7th line how can i do this?
[22:43] <smallfoot-> idk works great here with open soruce nouvouea device drivers
[22:43] <MirkoKa> foolove: zcat file | awk 'NR == 7'
[22:44] <IntuitiveNipple> dem0n: sorry, was distracted. The Ubuntu ARMel packages can be got from ports.ubuntu.com
[22:45] <Scroggins10> Is it possible to collapse directories?
[22:45] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple:    17.257] (==) Matched nvidia as autoconfigured driver 0 [    17.257] (==) Matched nouveau as autoconfigured driver 1 [    17.257] (==) Matched nv as autoconfigured driver 2 [    17.257] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 3 [    17.257] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 4 [    17.257] (==) Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout
[22:45] <dem0n> intuitiveNipple: are there different applications under there?
[22:45] <Ztane> seems to be this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970532 :(
[22:45] <richtroye> Scroggins10 the tar(1) program does a good job of collapsing directories
[22:45] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple: Is the Nouveau driver set better than the proprietary nVidia set?
[22:45] <Scroggins10> So should I sudo apt-get install tar(1)
[22:45] <Gagarix> Well. I can get into recovery console. Now I just need to fix the darned symlink that I messed up. xD *scratches head* I'm having a serious case of the stupids today.
[22:46] <Scroggins10> Or how would I go about getting that program
[22:46] <IntuitiveNipple> dem0n: All Ubuntu packages are built for the supported ports, of which ARMel is one. On the ubuntu system you just set up the repositories for apt-get to be http://ports.ubuntu.com rather than http://archive.ubuntu.com
[22:46] <richtroye> Scroggins10 I put that (1) there as a conventional way of referring to its manual page.  The program is named tar and you already have it.
[22:46] <Scroggins10> Oh ok... I'm relatively new to ubuntu
[22:46] <Guest2677> haai
[22:46] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple: could there be a conflict between the two?
[22:47] <richtroye> Scroggins10 I wouldn't mind if you pm'ed me and I could ask you more about what you're trying to do.
[22:47] <tbrown> am installing updates to ubuntu I used sudo su for root and sudo apt-get update and it search for them and I used sudo apt-get upgrade anything else after that:)
[22:47] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: Nouveau is only better in the sense that it is entirely open-source. It cannot currently do much 3D acceleration. The proprietary NVIDIA driver is the only one to do 3D which is required for smooth operations for unity 3D for example
[22:47] <MirkoKa> Scroggins10: , richtroye: what is "collapse directories"? compress?archive?
[22:48] <Ztane> anyone struggling with BCM4313, enable bluetooth and modprobe wl ;)
[22:49] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple: the only thing I can gather is that the logs said that it had to offload memory to virtual memory for the nVidia GPU
[22:49] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: which driver is currently in use? hint: glxinfo | egrep '(render|version|vendor)'
[22:49] <Gagarix> Hrm, something about not being able to create `tmp/os-prober.XXXXX
[22:50] <benwalburn> Is there a way I can re enable my Broadcom driver without connecting my computer to the internet? I don't have anything but wifi
[22:50] <Scroggins10> richtroye: Basically, I organized my music database by moving albums into that artists subfolder. I no longer want the artists folders, so I want to move all those albums back to where I got them without opening each folder and moving them.

[22:51] <davidguigui> thanks for this answer
[22:51] <davidguigui> bye
[22:51] <Ztane> benwalburn: 9 seconds before you joined I wrote anyone struggling with BCM4313, enable bluetooth and modprobe wl ;)
[22:52] <Ztane> benwalburn: if that is the problem ...
[22:53] <benwalburn> Enabling Bluetooth makes my computer pick up wifi again?
[22:53] <Ztane> benwalburn: :D
[22:53] <Ztane> benwalburn: it did for me
[22:54] <benwalburn> Huh? Lol
[22:54] <benwalburn> Weird....
[22:54] <Ztane> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/962621
[22:54] <IntuitiveNipple> Scroggins10: basically, something like this: find . -type d -maxdepth 1 | while read dir; do echo $dir; mv "$dir/*" .; rmdir "$dir"; done
[22:54] <IntuitiveNipple> Scroggins10: DO NOT USE that without testing it somewhere SAFE!!

[22:55] <tehe> hi. What is the corrent way of "reseting" my xorg.conf? Ubuntu crashed after having updated the nvidia drivers, and I sorted the problem but copying over stuff from a livecd, which I dont think is the correct way of doing it.
[22:55] <Ztane> benwalburn: wl?
[22:55] <ulises> thanks
[22:55] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: Are you in a recovery shell now? Or just reading error messages from the screen?
[22:56] <Gagarix> In a recovery shell
[22:56] <tehe> s/but/by
[22:56] <benwalburn> Wl?
[22:56] <IntuitiveNipple> Ztane: Funnily enough it doesn't - I expected it to when I tested it on my music collection here but it was OK
[22:56] <Ztane> benwalburn: wl is the broadcom driver that really showed me the list
[22:56] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: I edited the grub config to remove the splash and add debug single, then when I tried to do update-grub, I got that error message.
[22:56] <Ztane> sudo modprobe wl
[22:57] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: Can you recall the symlink you changed?
[22:57] <benwalburn> Ok, so what do I do?
[22:57] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: ln -s /host/tmp /tmp
[22:57] <Viva_Caligula> I just installed the latest xubuntu, and can't login
[22:57] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: I think I wasn't thinking straight when I did that. x)
[22:57] <Viva_Caligula> it displays the splash, but the login manager  won't start
[22:57] <Ztane> benwalburn: did you have the bluetooth disabled?

[22:58] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: !!!! ... I was thinking if this is on Windows with Wubi, is there even a grub installation ?
[22:58] <Ztane> benwalburn: hmm then you do not have that, hmm...
[22:58] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: There is. When I select Ubuntu from the Windows boot selection and tap Delete I get into Grub
[22:59] <cmcintosh> hey gang got a copy of ubuntu 12, looking to try and get a USB2VGA device working
[22:59] <MirkoKa> tehe: well, the way to "reset" your xorg.conf is to delete it (after making a backup of course), modern xorg creates the conf dynamically on the fly
[22:59] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: oh cool - that makes it more standard and easier to deal with from my perspective!
[22:59] <cmcintosh> with i type libusb the device does display properly just not sure how to setup xwindows
[22:59] <jiohdi> is there a way to automount a partion I am using for dropbox?
[22:59] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: That looks like the NVIDIA proprietary driver alright so you have full 3D rendering support
[22:59] <Ztane> benwalburn: which exact broadcom do you have, from lspci command...
[23:00] <MirkoKa> jiohdi: many ways, mount on system boot, mount on user login, or mount on access?
[23:00] <jiohdi> partition*
[23:00] <tehe> MirkoKa: would it account for any changes that are required by nvidia? Or would I just nvidia-xconfig afterwards?
[23:00] <acalbaza> my login screen resolution is rediculously large, how can i change it so that i dont have to scroll to find the dialog box?
[23:00] <jiohdi> MirkoKa, mount on sys boot
[23:00] <benwalburn> Bcm4312
[23:00] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple: what should I do then?
[23:00] <cmcintosh> Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0711:5100 Magic Control Technology Corp. Magic Control Technology Corp. (USB2VGA dongle)
[23:01] <MirkoKa> tehe /etc/fstab entry
[23:01] <Restringere> IntuitiveNipple: I have 2 GIGS of DDR2 Ram, which I think gives 4 Gig performance, so what options do I have?
[23:01] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: Well, removing that link seems straightforward but... I can't see how that link could be created since there should already have been a /tmp/ directory
[23:02] <MirkoKa> jiohdi: /etc/fstab entry
[23:02] <krababbel> tehe: nvidia should work only xorg.xonf
[23:02] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: Well, as I said, I clearly wasn't thinking straight. x) I'm gonna try one more thing with a live USB. :)
[23:02] <Gagarix> But first! Chocolate!
[23:02] <IntuitiveNipple> Restringere: I'm not sure, it's a difficult issue to diagnose remotely. I think you need to wait for an X/Compiz/Unity guru to turn up
[23:02] <laumonier> hi  what is the name of the ubuntu package to launch the instalation of it??
[23:02] <Restringere> Thanks, have a good day need to run.
[23:02] <MirkoKa> tehe: ideally you don't even need an xorg.conf and you can recreate it with custom option later
[23:02] <Ztane> benwalburn: so did you try to enable bluetooth?
[23:02] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: SNAP! My partner just brought me a nice hot chocolate to help my brain!
[23:03] <Ztane> benwalburn: from the applet, or you see that
[23:03] <benwalburn> How do I enable it?
[23:03] <Ztane> benwalburn: you can also try to modprobe b43
[23:03] <jiohdi> mirkoka that may seem like an answer to you, but its virtually useless to me... what sort of entry?
[23:03] <tehe> MirkoKa: interesting.. so I could have just deleted it and my environment would have return to the default state?
[23:04] <tehe> MirkoKa: fstab?
[23:04] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: Chocolate = <3
[23:04] <MirkoKa> tehe: provied it's really an xorg.conf issue, then yes
[23:04] <benwalburn> I think the modprobe worked
[23:06] <kion> When I do a ls command can anybody explain me why many of my files appear a second time with an appended ~ to the name?   example: file and file~
[23:06] <jiohdi> mirkoka the partition is /dev/sda3
[23:06] <Paulmaster> -
[23:06] <Paulmaster> Hello
[23:06] <tehe> MirkoKa: thanks for the help. Ill remember that next time.
[23:06] <IntuitiveNipple> kion: Files suffixed with ~ are backup files created of old versions of files you edit
[23:06] <Jordan_U> kion: Many text editors store temporary copies of files with a '~' at the end.
[23:06] <alvaro_> ubuntu br
[23:06] <Paulmaster> i haveeeeeeeeeeeeee
[23:06] <Paulmaster> question
[23:07] <acicula> !ask
[23:07] <kion> Jordan_U:  is Gedit one of those?
[23:07] <benwalburn> Ztane, can we go to a different channel? It's hard to keep up from my phone
[23:07] <Paulmaster> i have question!!!
[23:07] <LinuxMonkey> !ask | Paulmaster
[23:07] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: On thsi native install of Precise "stat /tmp/" shows it is a directory on the root file-system, not a mount of a tmpfs. Can you check what you have there? mount | grep tmp && stat /tmp/
[23:08] <Paulmaster> LinuxMonkey: stop that please. i already read it! Thanks!
[23:08] <Ztane> benwalburn: sorry I am going to sleep, 2 am here... :(
[23:09] <benwalburn> Ah ok. That's fine
[23:09] <Jordan_U> !fstab | jiohdi
[23:09] <Ztane> benwalburn: anyway try these: enable bluetooth; disable, re-enable wifi; sudo rfkill unblock all; sudo modprobe b43
[23:09] <LinuxMonkey> Paulmaster: Just bringing it to your attention as even thought it was posted previously you keep saying you have a question.
[23:10] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: "stat: cannot stat '/tmp': No such file or directory"
[23:11] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: haha!
[23:11] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: OK, so maybe the fix is as simple as creating it? "mkdir /tmp" - surely the fix can't that simple though!?
[23:11] <Gagarix> Let's try.
[23:13] <MirkoKa> Gagarix: if it works, don't forget to set correct permissions: sudo chmod a+rwxt /tmp
[23:13] <jiohdi> jordan, that is vitually useless for so many of us because it does not clear examples... its japanese stereo instructions... example, it says mount point... do I use /media for a storage partition or /
[23:14] <IntuitiveNipple> MirkoKa: Good point, thanks!
[23:15] <MirkoKa> jiohdi: do you ever want the partiiton to be mounted when you're not logged in? does the partition have a label (volume name in windows speak), the /dev/sd** isn't reliable, a lable is better
[23:15] <Vooloo> how do you set cron to run the 5th every month, ONE TIME. I have * * 5 * * but it runs on a loop
[23:16] <jiohdi> MirkoKa, does this look right?
[23:16] <jiohdi> UUID=fd12fd98-cede-4a71-b9ab-5a67561df43b /media	ext4	errors=remount-ro 0	1
[23:17] <diego> hola
[23:17] <IntuitiveNipple> jiohdi: better to use a sub-directory of /media e.g. /media/diskA or whatever you prefer AND remember to CREATE the directory too: sudo mkdir /media/diskA
[23:18] <MirkoKa> joink: /media is wrong. that is used as the base direcory for other mounts, create another directory say /media/dropbox and use that instead
[23:18] <Cyb3rw0rM> Hi all
[23:18] <Cyb3rw0rM> :)
[23:18] <jiohdi> IntuitiveNipple, any particular reason?
[23:18] <jiohdi> MirkoKa, ok
[23:18] <Gagarix> IntuitiveNipple: Haha, unbelievable! I feel so stupid now, that actually worked! xD
[23:18] <IntuitiveNipple> jiohdi: Yes, because the  /media/ directory is used as the parent to mount devices that come and go
[23:18] <Gagarix> brb :)
[23:19] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: Yay! I love simple solutions (tm) !
[23:20] <jiohdi> IntuitiveNipple, once I make that dir, do I have to alter its permissions? or owner?
[23:20] <Paulmaster> hellooo
[23:21] <IntuitiveNipple> jiohdi: Usually not
[23:21] <jiohdi> ok... here goes... brb
[23:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: You may have missed this...
 Gagarix: if it works, don't forget to set correct permissions: sudo chmod a+rwxt /tmp
[23:22] <Gagarix> I had to switch from the other desktop to the laptop. Using the kvm all the time is a pain. :P

[23:25] <Gagarix> Alrighty, let's see how this fares
[23:26] <tehe> is there a way to name screen sessions, and from there reattach using the name?
[23:26] <LinuxMonkey>  Paulmaster  please ask your question, you have been told before.
[23:27] <zykotic10> tehe: yes
[23:27] <Gagarix> Hmm, I'm not liking this. update-grub goes all ERROR: pdc: wrong # of devices in RAID set ...
[23:27] <LinuxMonkey> tehe: screen -S sessionname
[23:28] <lj> I have been waiting for 12.04 release. Did the work on support for the Dell St2220t get committed to the kernel/hid.multitouch in the new ISO?
[23:28] <IntuitiveNipple> Gagarix: Errrr.... is it installed on a dmraid device? (Promise SoftRAID controller) ?
[23:29] <Gagarix> Not as far as I know. :P
[23:29] <tehe> thanks
[23:30] <Gagarix> Ah well, I can login now, that's all that matters atm.

[23:35] <Punk_Unity> i am having trouble downloading, installing, and getting themes to work on xubuntu 12.04
[23:36] <Punk_Unity> trying to get them from xfce-look.org
[23:36] <taxman> what? my 12.04 pendrive is fast like a ghost
[23:37] <aaas> is there anyway to alias an nfs share so that you mount it with <hostname>:/alias instead of <hostname>:/export/home/<user>
[23:38] <zykotic10> aaas: if you add your nfs mount to fstab you can use "sudo mount /mountpoint"
[23:39] <lj> Can I run this command whilst logged in to my ubuntu distro to apply the workaround. Or do I need to apply it to an ISO source before install? "patch -p1 --dry-run < /[path_of_patch]/0001-HID-multitouch-fix-handling-of-buggy-reports-descrip.patch".
[23:39] <aaas> zykotic10 but that mountpoint would still have '/export' or whatever in the name if i try to access it from another machine, right?
[23:40] <sacarlson> aaas: or you can create a symbolic link to a path to create an alias  man ln ;  ln -s /this/path /to/here
[23:40] <zykotic10> aaas: that's up to you... mountpoint is the local directory
[23:40] <wylde> lj: the patch has to be applied to the source code then compiled.
[23:41] <aaas> zykotic10 sacarlson what i need is my nfs share to be in /export/home/<user> but for remote users to just see /<user> or something like that
[23:41] <Wessley> sacarlson it says to press shift on boot after the bios to get to the grub boot loader but doesnt seem to do anything on this 12.04 install
[23:41] <IntuitiveNipple> aaas: I use bind-mounts on the NFS server to achieve that
[23:42] <sacarlson> Wessley: is this a live cd boot?
[23:42] <Wessley> NetInstall
[23:42] <Wessley> usb
[23:42] <MirkoKa> lj: you *HAVE* to do this in your running ubuntu system.it patches the kernel, so you even have to install the kernel source and recompile the kernel. the live-ce is totally irrelevant here
[23:42] <sacarlson> Wessley: netinstall you mean like pxe boot?  or maybe live cd
[23:43] <IntuitiveNipple> lj: according to that bug report Bradd Figg has built test kernels and provided a link to the kernel packages in comment #43
[23:44] <sacarlson> Wessley: or it could be like minimal boot from usb to install from net I guess
[23:44] <wylde> IntuitiveNipple: thanks! I hadn't gotten that far yet :)
[23:44] <IntuitiveNipple> sacarlson: netinstall is the minimal CD - it fetches the packages from the archives rather than getting them from the install media
[23:44] <Wessley> sacarlson http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/precise/
[23:45] <MirkoKa> any idea why the tty's (F1 - F6) are all black (I know they work, flight-blind entered DISPLAY=:0 xterm). I use the proprietary nvidia drivers and except from the tty's all is fine
[23:45] <aaas> IntuitiveNipple it looks interesting but im not sure how it solves my problem unless i make a /<user> directory which is just as good as making a symbolic link
[23:46] <sacarlson> Wessley: ok minimal,  I did play with that a bit before precise was released,  it's the text install so don't know why it would go black unless this is after installed
[23:46] <LinuxMonkey> MirkoKa: you get a terminal login prompt on them, or they all black with no text?
[23:47] <lj> Im using Linux lj-MicroServer 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:50:42 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux it doesn't look like any of those pre-compiled kernels will work for me.
[23:47] <brodro> hey peoples, trying to figure out an issue I'm getting with flash player and "express install"
[23:48] <brodro> Not really sure what I need to do in order to get it working
[23:48] <MirkoKa> LinuxMonkey: totally black, no prompt, not even a cursor. but as I said, getty runs since I can login and run commands.
[23:48] <IntuitiveNipple> lj: I'd suggest linux-image-3.0.0-18-generic_3.0.0-18.31~791833_i386.deb
[23:48] <ulkesh> brodro, can you not just install the flash plugin via the software center?
[23:48] <sacarlson> Wessley: oh I have a thought maybe you use a usb keyboard that won't respond to grub,  if so try enable something like legacy in bios to get the usb keyboard to work
[23:48] <Wessley> sacarlson after the install process has been completed and it asks for you to remove the install media and reboot right after bios posts to a blackscreen no cursor or anything
[23:50] <IntuitiveNipple> MirkoKa: Common issue that is - I used the uvesafb to get around it but that can cause DRM conflicts with the nvidia driver which leads to kernel/Xorg oops
[23:50] <brodro> ulkesh: I actually had some trouble trying to figure that out earlier, not really sure which package manager to use. I may not even have one
[23:50] <IntuitiveNipple> MirkoKa: I usually solve it by setting grub to text mode only
[23:50] <ulkesh> brodro, what ubuntu version are you on?
[23:51] <Wessley> sacarlson legacy usb support was on
[23:51] <hydrox24> MirkoKa: Have you tried running your system without the proprietary drivers?

[23:51] <brodro> ulkesh: I'm using 11.04
[23:52] <gaelfx> Synaptics driver update ftw!
[23:52] <IntuitiveNipple> MirkoKa: The issue is that grub puts the display into gfx mode, then plymouth does it's graphics splash and the tty's don't get correctly configured
[23:52] <ulkesh> brodro, if it's there, can you click on the dash in the upper left (assuming you have unity on) and type Software...it should find the Ubuntu Software Center (I believe 11.04 has this)...then search for flash
[23:52] <MirkoKa> IntuitiveNipple: ah, ok, thanks, let me try, I recently played around with grub backgrounds and although 10.04 doesn have problems, that might be related.
[23:53] <sacarlson> Wessley: ok now I'm out of idea's,  I guess you might try a live boot from your minimal and modify grub settings to add nomodeset
[23:53] <brodro> ulkesh: it's also sn0wl1inux11
[23:54] <IntuitiveNipple> MirkoKa: Same here: I had the desktop background for grub and plymouth - had to use uvesafb mode on the kernel command line, but that led to the kernel DRM/Xorg issues so I stopped doing it, and that led to blank ttys until I remembered why!
[23:54] <ulkesh> brodro, oh ok, then see if you can pull up terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[23:54] <gMan> Hoping someone here can help me. Feel like an idiot - probably am. Upgraded Xubuntu 11 to 12.04. Had to use boot-repair to boot at all. Still can't get to login screen. System goes directly to splash screen, starts and then hangs. Where should I look?
[23:54] <MirkoKa> hydrox24: not really, I don't think the prop drivers are the problem directly, but a clash with the drivers and grubs terminal handling, will try IntuitiveNipple's suggestion (when I reboot ;-)
[23:55] <brodro> ulkesh: Alright, I got it downloading, I'll let you know if it worked
[23:55] <ulkesh> brodro, make sure you close browsers and then restart them
[23:55] <alexfartura> E aee
[23:55] <ulkesh> brodro, post-install i mean :)
[23:56] <alexfartura> Algum brasileiro aqui? ehae
[23:56] <IntuitiveNipple> Wessley: It maybe be that the BIOS boot device is wrong ... so it isn't even loading the grub bootloader from the device it was installed on
[23:58] <Wessley> IntuitiveNipple: its a brand new mobo usb3 etc what options would need to be set in bios?
[23:58] <IntuitiveNipple> gMan: Can you intercept grub by pressing Shift as soon as BIOS POSTing is over, and choosing the Recovery option?
[23:59] <Wessley> or you are talking about the boot device as in the hdd there is only one boot device which is the hdd
[23:59] <gMan> IntuitiveNipple: (funky name!) Yes. Done that. got to me in as my previous user. Able to list proper content of HOME.
[23:59] <MirkoKa> IntuitiveNipple: btw, "then plymouth does it's graphics splash" not here. first thing I do is to remove "quite splash" ;-)
[23:59] <brodro> ulkesh: hey, I'm having a very poor connection right now. I think I may know what to do now though, thank you very much, bye
[23:59] <IntuitiveNipple> Wessley: Well, usually the BIOS has a boot device order menu where you select the order that BIOS looks for a valid boot loader signature. if that is not set to check the device where grub is installed before any other possible targets, the symptom you describe can occur. The 2nd possibility is, if the PC has multiple drives, that grub has been installed on a secondary device
