[00:00] brodro, roger that, good luck! [00:00] IntuitiveNipple: its set properly to the hdd [00:00] Wessley: Are any USB storage devices connected directly or through a hub? [00:00] IntuitiveNipple: Nope [00:01] only things connected keyboard/mouse/network/monitor [00:01] Wessley: It *sounds* as if grub failed to install correctly - especially if you can't get the Shift key to give you the grub boot menu. Grub has 3 stages of loading, and it sounds like it might be stuck after the 1st [00:01] how do i type unicode characters into the terminal? [00:01] IntuitiveNipple: I'm following the steps on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile to create linux-image-3.0.0-18-generic_3.0.0-18.31~791833_i386.deb. Are these the correct steps (10.04 instructions)? [00:01] hello guys. i have a simple question: i want to install ubuntu. i already have a linux distro installed in the computer (arch) with separated /swap /home / and /boot partitions. when installing ubuntu, may i point /swap and /boot to the same partitions? (i know i can do it with /home and i will do it) === warfaren_ is now known as warfaren [00:02] Paulo39, you can do so with swap. [00:02] my disk got too full, now X won't start, help ? [00:02] though, boot might get over written. [00:02] bjorkintosh: what about /boot? [00:02] using irssi (bless it) for now till i can get a normal boot happening [00:02] it will get overwritten. you certainly don't want to mess with that unless you intend to wipe it. [00:02] gMan: If you can get in via the recovery console shell, you should be able to examine the log files from the unsucessful boot in /var/log/ by looking at the timestamps of the files (ls -lstra) - don't get confused by the messages for the current boot! [00:02] clirc, how much space do you have? [00:03] bjorkintosh: how can I tell? [00:03] bjorkintosh: ok, so i will create a /boot only for ubuntu. thanks for the answer [00:03] clirc, df -h [00:03] Paulo39: Last time I did that /boot was NOT reformatted, the new installation used an existing /boot/ partition [00:03] Wessley: oh I wonder if it's grafics if you could try after boot (some time like 3 minits of black) try f2 to get into console [00:04] sacarlson I will try that [00:04] another question guys: i want to install ubuntu. i already have a linux distro installed in the computer (arch) and i have grub working fine. can i install ubuntu without change the MBR and dont mess with that grub which is fine? [00:04] IntuitiveNipple: geez man! there are a lot-o-logs in there. where is a good place to start? [00:04] 0 space left [00:04] hi all... how does one extract a .xdi file?? [00:05] IntuitiveNipple: and did it work with the other /boot not formatted?? [00:05] Wessley: Do you see the hard disk activity light flashing away madly just after BIOS ? That would indicate Ubuntu is starting [00:05] yes [00:05] gMan: If you use "ls -lstra" the files are ordered by most recent last, so I'd work backwards [00:05] bjorkintosh: 0 space [00:05] no luck sacarlson [00:05] Wessley: That sounds hopeful! [00:06] clirc, how did it get filled up? pr0n? [00:06] and when I hit the power button once it flashs away the hdd light and then turns off [00:06] Wessley: well back to live boot and modify grub for nomodeset, I'll look for details [00:06] Wessley: I'd try messing with getting into the grub menu with that Shift key.... if grub is booting that has got to respond [00:06] bjorkintosh: not sure, I am wondering if a process has written a huge file or soemthing [00:06] well, look for it then. [00:07] bjorkintosh: I cleaned apt-get and apparently free'd up 400mb but on reboot it was full again?? [00:07] sacarlson it just finished downloading the full thing will check that out now [00:07] clirc: have you cleaned out your apt package cache to make some room? [00:07] IntuitiveNipple: your a saint. I have to run. Will try and figure this out. THANKS! [00:07] clirc: sudo apt-get clean , will remove the packages from the cache and make some room. [00:07] Paulo39: I've never had the Ubuntu installer insist on formatting /boot/ - I always have multiple OSes installed in parallel using LVM LVs too [00:07] wylde: yeah i ran sudo apt-get clean [00:08] clirc: alrighty. === LinuxMon1ey is now known as LinuxMonkey [00:08] clirc, also sudo apt-get remove? [00:08] will do one sc [00:08] Wessley: this has the details you need but you might need to mount the file system from minimal boot to modify the file needed http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/01/ubuntumaverick-blank-screen-problem.html [00:10] Wessley: also I would take out quiet splash so you can see where it might crash at some point [00:11] Hi: with app armor, if you give rw access to a block device does it give access to the parent in /devices and other links scattered around /dev too? [00:12] Wessley: if you remove "quiet splash" add in "debug" also! [00:12] still has 0% free, wtf [00:13] clirc: empty trash? [00:13] sacarlson: how do? [00:14] clirc: nautilus (file manager) bottom right corner click trash can and select empty [00:15] hi everybody, how do i write a cd image to a usb and make it bootable......the cd itself is bootable [00:15] sacarlson / IntuitiveNipple extracting to usb now... [00:15] sacarlson: on cl, can't get gui to boot [00:15] !liveusb | paranoidphreak [00:15] paranoidphreak: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:16] gaelfx: it's not ubuntu OS.....it's a windows xp [00:16] paranoidphreak: then try dd [00:16] can anyone tell me some folders I could delete for an easy win freeing up space? [00:16] gaelfx: ok.......thanks [00:16] clirc: find out where all the space is in use! du -x --max-depth=3 / | sort -n [00:16] clirc, /var/cache/apt/debs or something like that [00:17] clirc: which partition excatly has 0% free? if you cleard the package cache it's very unlikey that it's still 0% [00:17] paranoidphreak: you probably will need to 'man' that command before you use it though [00:17] IntuitiveNipple: I'm following the steps on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile to create a patched kernel from linux-image-3.0.0-18-generic_3.0.0-18.31~791833_i386.deb. Are these the correct steps (10.04 instructions)? [00:18] 'man cat' is probably the weirdest thing I've ever typed into terminal [00:18] lj: That kernel file I pointed you to *IS* a patched kernel - you can download it and its associated headers package and install them using "sudo dpkg =i " [00:19] IntuitiveNipple: you mean -i right? [00:19] lj: Correction: "sudo dpkg -i " === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [00:19] clirc: I guess you could run a live cd boot and run Disk Usage Analizer to determine what is using all the space and remove or move what isn't needed [00:19] gaelfx: :p [00:19] gaelfx man free [00:19] paranoidphreak, if you have access to a windows machine and a legit XP disc you would use this, loading a XP to a usb in linux is possible but I havew never been able to do it. http://wintoflash.com/home/en/ [00:19] OerHeks: ah, nice [00:20] s/havew/have [00:21] Fyodorovna: unforturanatly i don't have access to windows but thanks anyways [00:21] paranoidphreak: I forgot, if you use dd, I think you still need to use something like gparted to make the drive bootable [00:22] paranoidphreak: but it's pretty easy to do [00:22] gaelfx: thanks for the heads up [00:22] paranoidphreak, I suspect you may be out of luck, I hope not, but this is a tough one. [00:22] Fyodorovna: nah, it's not too bad, I used dd to make a Win7 USB to reinstall on my wife's computer. [00:22] I've had this problem for a while, but it is still there after an upgrade so I'll ask... is there any reason why flash videos seem to remain "on top" even when firefox isn't the on top window? [00:23] gaelfx, W7 is easy Xp is a whole other beast. [00:23] i get impressed by win8-ready-to-go [00:24] maybe we can run win8 on a pendrive in the future [00:24] gaelfx, since you had to comment to me will say I doubt a dd and a grub loader will do it either I have gone that route and never had it work. [00:24] microsoft provides a tool for usb [00:25] Fyodorovna: not a grub loader, you use gparted simply to set the boot flag on the USB [00:26] is there a way to set swap priority (of the different swap spaces) on a per-process basis? [00:26] paranoidphreak: and I assume you know you ought to freshly format the drive before you dd it, right? [00:27] Gracenotes: Yes, using cgroups [00:27] IntuitiveNipple: ah... interesting. So I can say, "start this process with instructions to use mostly swap space A"? [00:27] gaelfx: yup..... [00:27] * Gracenotes reads [00:28] Gracenotes: I believe so, yes [00:28] dashavoo: pretty sure that's related to the flash player, Firefox can't control that [00:28] gaelfx, For XP I doubt it but honestly I gave a method that does work every time so if it works your way I will be glad to see it, bu I wont hold my breath. === ben__965 is now known as ben_joldersma [00:28] paranoidphreak: just checking [00:28] IntuitiveNipple: okay. will see where I get with that, thanks [00:28] gaelfx: thanks [00:29] gaelfx: I realise that, I just wondered if anyone knew why it happens, and if so how it can be remedied [00:30] gaelfx, XP was not designed to run a a usb, W7 is a extract to a usb with W7 and a bootflag works, I doubt a dd to a usb of a OS not designed to run in a usb is going to. [00:31] dashavoo: petition Adobe to make flash more open? [00:31] paranoidphreak, let us know if this works, it is nice to know so it can be passed on if you get it running. [00:31] i forget how to kill a dead app... [00:31] help [00:31] * Dawn262 is blonder than usual [00:31] gaelfx: thanks, you've been a great help :) [00:31] Gracenotes: There's some helpful detail in http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt [00:32] Gracenotes: grep 'Enable CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP' === burrito is now known as Guest92515 [00:32] Fyodorovna: i will [00:33] Dawn262: kill -TERM `pidof ` or kill -KILL ...` [00:33] dashavoo: haha, sorry I couldn't tell you more, but you might want to try one of the free versions of flash plugin, those are usually easier to control (I'm assuming you're using Adobe's plugin) [00:33] * Dawn262 huggles IntuitiveNipple [00:33] whoa...that was weird [00:33] Dawn262: IntuitiveNipple: pkill -9 processname [00:34] violinappren: good point! [00:34] * Dawn262 higgles the pee out of the both of you! [00:34] violinappren: what the '-9' stands for? [00:35] xangua: SIGKILL [00:35] IntuitiveNipple: ahh. hm. [00:35] violinappren: please refrain from suggestion -9 that is *ONLY* the last emergency situation, SIGTERM, SIGHUP or SIGINT shoudl be tried first [00:35] sacarlson / IntuitiveNipple with the usb install I get a grub window not the one shown in the picture and there are 3 options on Try Ubuntu without installing, Install Ubuntu, Check disc for defects [00:35] Wessley: Yes, that is the grub boot menu for the USB device ... [00:35] MirkoKa: +1 [00:36] MirkoKa: for a process responding normally yes, but not for a "stuck" app [00:36] Wessley: Do the Try Ubuntu... option then when that has started you can use its programs to check on the bad installation [00:36] MirkoKa, : It is actually an emergency. VLC is locked and won't go away after the upgrade [00:36] so comparing samba and nfs I'm getting samba ~30% faster, is this the experience of others? (win7<->ubuntu, gigabit, ssd->hdd) [00:37] xangua: -9 mean to send the KILL signal wich uncinditionaly forces the process the exit, without any chance to clean up. it't like shooting a bullet through your head without giving you the change to write a inheritance letter, don't use it unless there's no other way [00:37] in your opinion, which is the best file system type for save data and backups that is compatible with both linux and windows? is there anything better than NTFS? (FAT is not good because of the file size limits and ext3/4 isn't compatible with windows) [00:37] aaas: totally the opposite for me, I've had way better experience with NFS [00:37] MirkoKa: I make sure all my processes write a will as soon as they start :p [00:38] gaelfx what speeds where you getting with each? [00:38] IntuitiveNipple: How would I use the try to fix the current install [00:38] aaas: ah, but I see now that the other machine is Win7, which would explain the difference [00:38] aaas: sshfs [00:38] Unknown encoder 'libx264' [00:38] there are more sites online which claim nfs fastest of all, so I was wondering why my results are different [00:39] aaas: I haven't objectively measured speeds, all I can say is when I access a 720p video on NFS I can actually watch it, whereas Samba gets some mad stuttering going on, but both of my boxes are Ubuntu so the NFS support is good on both ends. Win7 has _some_ NFS support, but not full support [00:39] !restricted | wcchandler [00:39] wcchandler: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:39] violinappren: when I run avconv -formats it lists it as available to decode and encode [00:39] that did it! thousands of thanks to IntuitiveNipple and violinappren [00:40] what network copy speeds do people get? im getting 32-45 mb/sec [00:40] the -9 is the only way it killed vlc [00:40] !mediainfo [00:41] IntuitiveNipple: try ubuntu boots to a black screen [00:41] Wessley: oh good! :D that means you've got a common problem with that PCs video system, not an installation problem! [00:42] IntuitiveNipple: hm. I see that it's useful for per-process management of limits. Not so much for selecting preferred swap partitions [00:42] Wessley: That is good since it hints that simply adding "nomodeset" to the grub boot line ought to get you a text display at least [00:42] violinappren: nevermind, i both love and hate you [00:43] Dawn262: yes, -9 can be the correct way, it just should be noted that this is really the last thing to try (many webpages suggest -9 as if it's a totally normal thing to do). try -HUP instead of -9 first next time [00:43] Okay, now that I'm finished chasing the chickens away from the basil... Dude running Arch, are you still having install issues with Ubuntu? [00:43] -5 is "nicer" [00:44] wcchandler: what was the issue? and you wouldn't be the first :) [00:45] violinappren: trying to convert a video to h264 format for the raspberry pi... going to see how it handles it. But I "thought" I already installed that package. And it was even listing those codecs as available... but I hadn't installed the restricted extras and that fixed it [00:45] MirkoKa: most desktop applications don't know how to respond to HUP , this is meaningful in the context of managing a unix demon [00:46] Gracenotes: Can you use devices_allow to control access to a swap device per cgroup? [00:46] damn why are all preset files for x264 empty? no wonder that encoding not works [00:47] wcchandler: the pi cant handle it on its own? [00:47] linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper nomodeset -- === diib is now known as dbdii407 [00:47] not sure if this is correct formating for nomodeset [00:48] IntuitiveNipple: devices.txt? let me try that, actually. [00:48] violinappren: no. source was mpeg4 684x276 resolution video and was choppy [00:48] okay, I should just read all the docs for cgroups. [00:48] h264 has hardware acceleration (supposedly) [00:48] violinappren: nope, HUP works very well even for GUI apps as well (if TERM/INT don't), actually really needing -KILL is a sign for a heavily misbehaving process -> bug report [00:49] it plays the bick bunny clip without an issue at 1080i [00:50] wcchandler: what player are you trying to use? === tmr0_ is now known as tmr0 [00:50] MirkoKa: GUI apps write buffers to disk upon receiving a HUP? [00:50] gaelfx: i tried mplayer and vlc [00:50] for the mp4 file [00:50] gaelfx: but they have their own command line video player that works with x264 [00:51] wcchandler: who is "they"? [00:52] Hello, does anyone know how to use a different java version other than the one default on oneiric? I have 0_32 in /usr/lib/jvm, but java -version still brings up 0_23 [00:52] violinappren: irrelevant :-) some do some do not, but *NO* app/program/tool/process/whatever writes internal data to disk when reciving a KILL [00:52] gaelfx: the raspberry pi foundation [00:52] gaelfx: or more specifically, broadcom [00:52] aaaah, gotcha [00:53] wcchandler: what's it called? [00:53] audr, you probably just need to alter your JAVA_HOME, JRE_HOME, and PATH environment variables to point to the proper java install === jay is now known as Guest96706 [00:53] ilclient (i think) === joshua is now known as Guest85968 [00:53] ulkesh, right, but I can't remember the correct --set command to do that [00:54] gaelfx: i'm looking for it now... it comes ala source you have to compile from the image, which matches the intentions of the pi -- to teach programming [00:54] i *think* you can edit /etc/environment to do just that...and i suppose you have to reboot (I don't know how to just have it take effect) [00:54] wcchandler: yeah, it would probably help a heap if we knew the right name [00:54] no, i did it three days ago with a --set command [00:54] audr: pastebin the output of: dpkg -l openjdk [00:54] it was something like update-alternatives --set java [00:54] !pastebin > audr [00:54] audr, please see my private message [00:55] ah, sorry [00:55] audr, i've always just manually altered my environment...sorry :( [00:55] audr: if you did it before, then you should be able to find the command again by opening terminal and pushing the UP key a whole lot [00:56] gaelfx, sadly, I just went through a reinstall so I can't :( [00:56] audr: ouch, that bites. Sorry [00:56] gaelfx, audr, or you can do a bash search using !? (but you may want to research how before running any command automatically :) ) [00:56] Hello there - I'm trying to run a dry run of a system upgrade, but it keeps failing when sanboxed. Can I "safely" use the server mode, and then expect it to not depend on user input? [00:56] violinappren, nada [00:56] lol, nvm [00:56] audr, sudo update-alternatives --config java [00:56] I'm running ubuntu server [00:56] audr: you don't keep a separate /home partition?

Went on their website, dl'd java version 32, moved it to /usr/lib/jvm, chmod +x, install [00:57] gaelfx, no. [00:57] hy all [00:57] violinappren, I can see the jre1.6.0_32 in /usr/lib/jvm though [00:58] audr: a .bin file or a directory ?

[00:58] elisha_: any error message or other symtom? [00:58] which reminds me, if I'm installing to a system with SSD and an HDD, is it a good idea to make a separate partition for /tmp on the HDD? so as to avoid wear and tear on the SSD? [00:58] audr, sudo update-alternatives --config java [00:58] manitou: try: sudo apt-get install build-essential [00:59] MirkoKa: no, the light on the external is flashing like normal when its working but no errors or notice its mounted [00:59] bandit5432, nothing to configure [00:59] and if so, what's a good size for /tmp? [00:59] audr: is jre1.6.0_32 a directory/folder? [00:59] no, I can not cd into it [00:59] thus a file === LinuxMon1ey is now known as LinuxMonkey [01:00] audr: what's the output of this command: file /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_32 [01:00] goodbye #ubuntu [01:00] violinappren, wait, i mistyped my cd [01:00] it is a folder [01:01] audr: cd into the 'bin' folder inside of it [01:01] audr: and do: ./java -version [01:01] violinappren, ok i just did [01:01] audr: is that the one you wish to use as default java? [01:01] It outputted correctly in which it told me it was 0_32 [01:02] eys [01:02] yes* [01:03] violinappren: i get same :( log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/968131/ [01:04] manitou, what problem [01:04] violinappren, eh? [01:04] audr: ok, there are two solutions, you can add this to the alternatives system but you will have to set a lot of things (not only the 'java' one) .. or you can add this folder to your PATH in ~/.bashrc before everything else, like: PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_32/bin:$PATH" [01:04] hi guys, i have arch installed and i've installed ubuntu rigth now. I used the same /swap, /home and /boot partition for both arch and ubuntu. now i'm editing grub to get access to ubuntu and i was folllowing this tip: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub#Dual_booting_with_GNU.2FLinux but i don't know what is the initrd /path/to/initrd and kernel /path/to/kernel either [01:04] audr: i use the second one [01:05] audr: "Unable to build kernel module." vmware workstation 8 [01:05] violinappren, will doing the Path thing also update the javaws as well? [01:05] manitou, ah, sorry buddy. Can't help you [01:06] audr: it will use ALL the java binaries include with that JRE before anything else installed on the system.. all commands [01:06] violinappren, I think I did the set paths last time with --set. It wasn't too bad, but i had someone holding my hand while doing it lol [01:06] violinappren, so... yes? [01:07] audr: --set doesnt set PATH, it configures the alternatives system to use a specific binary to provide a generic command [01:07] audr: yes [01:07] k ^_^ [01:08] there is no java in 12.04, i found [01:08] taxman: yes there is, openjdk [01:08] i mean, built-in java [01:08] hey, my external harddrive isn't mounting, would anyone have any idea whats going on or how to fix it? [01:08] !java [01:08] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [01:08] violinappren, and it is /.bashrc?? [01:09] has anyone else noticed the compiz shift switcher behaves differently in 12.04? [01:09] audr: ~/.bashrc ... in your home folder [01:10] <_> [01:10] what difference? [01:10] taxman, it used to be that you could hold down ALT while tabbing through different windows [01:11] then when you released ALT, it would shift focus to that window [01:11] now, I have to press ENTER to shift the focus to that window [01:11] i don't know that, ha [01:11] audr: in a terminal as a normal user, type: nano ~/.bashrc [01:11] doesn't exist [01:11] it sound not too bad [01:12] aha [01:12] s/sound/sounds [01:12] yeah, just kind of annoying. i don't understand why the change from 11.10 to 12.04 [01:12] justin_: still works that way for me [01:12] hi guys, i have arch installed and i've installed ubuntu rigth now.

I have the distro from 11.10 to 12.04. Now i am stuck with chrome. I need Help, i miss firefox! [02:28] enav: The reason that it doesn't work is that it's the shell, which is running as your user, which handles the '>>' redirection to a file. So you're running echo as root (pointless) and the output of that is being sent to the shell (running as your user) which then tries (and fails) to write it to /var/www/test.php [02:28] are u using the right vid driver? [02:28] thanks guys it worked nice [02:28] bye [02:29] Hulk: well you say nothing about your problem, but have you tried with a fresh firefox profile¿ [02:29] I am trying to serial console into a cisco router using minicom on ubuntu-server [02:30] I keep getting ttys0 is locked errors when trying to start minicom [02:30] I suspect it has something to do with another open session from earlier, but I rebooted since then and can't reconnect [02:30] Is there a way to figure out which window has mouse focus?

[04:03] It's great, imo [04:03] !notunity | rokr1 [04:03] rokr1: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [04:04] rokr1: ^ [04:04] rokr1: you have generic gnome3 [04:04] rokr1, then change it. stop complaining. this is not the place for rants [04:04] I am right now with 12.04LTS [04:04] How can I report a bug against Ubuntu without specifying a package or PID? I have no idea which part of the OS is at fault [04:04] rokr1, so do what the link above says [04:04] other than lack of support what problems might I run into if I update gcc to a newer version that what Ubuntu includes? [04:04] nikitakit: explain it please we may be able to help you determine what package. [04:05] wylde: On resuming from suspend, all graphics elements except the mouse cursor fail to draw [04:06] keyboard still inputs into fields, and buttons are still clickable (assuming you guess where on the pure-black screen they are) [04:06] nikitakit: ahh i see, moment please [04:06] I can't even run adduser as root. === whoever is now known as Guest57140 [04:10] nikitakit: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu <--- if you could go here and search for the issue you're having you'll probably find a very similar bug. There's quite a few. === J2 is now known as J2|QK [04:11] nikitakit: does bug #966744 seem to be right? [04:11] Launchpad bug 966744 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "resume from suspend leaves me with black screen and a cursor" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/966744 [04:11] wylde: sounds like the same issue [04:12] nikitakit: are you using intel graphics though? [04:12] yes [04:13] i wonder if hibernate would have the same issue. [04:13] nikitakit: then I guess you can just click the "This affects me" and add yourself. [04:13] dr_willis: I actually read something about hibernate being disabled by default. I think when I was patching stuff for the documents team. [04:13] Is there any way to make my Validity Fingerprint Reader work on Ubuntu? [04:14] wylde: for future reference, is there a way to report a bug against no package in particular? [04:14] wylde: omgubuntu or webupd8 site had an artical on reenabling it - last week [04:14] Almost all of the bugs I've had are some combination of kernel, graphics, compiz/unity, and gnome to the point where I can't tell anything [04:14] nikitakit: if usurew use ubuntu, just do your best to be as clear as possible about the issue :) A triager will probably put it in it's proper place. [04:15] !bugs [04:15] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. === pehden-be-ridin is now known as pehden [04:15] there's some info on that link to help identify the package. It saves a lot of time if bugs get put in the right place to start with. [04:16] so does anyone know how to make a laptop built in finger print reader work on ubuntu? (validity sensor) [04:16] dr_willis: ahh alrighty. :) [04:16] Being forced to guess a package when I report a bug actually deters me from reporting bugs [04:16] I know I'll guess wrong, and I've had past experiences with bugs being ignored because they were in the wrong package [04:17] Itaku: what do you want it todo exactly? there might be some PAM modules to use it for somthing. [04:17] nikitakit: it can be a pain sometimes. Even if you can give a "best guess" it's still probably closer than just filing againt "ubuntu" [04:17] dr_willis: trying to make it so I can login/identify to sudo/unlock my laptop using a fingerprint reader other than a password. [04:17] thanks! [04:18] Itaku: id say search askubuntu.com and the forums. [04:18] alright will do [04:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/968337/ <--- pls help me about this.....i tried to activate my broadcom sta driver but i got that error message [04:19] Mythbusteres cracked a fingerprint reader with a magic marker and putty. and a photocopyerr.. i recall. ;) [04:19] nikitakit: do you use ubuntu-bug? it tries to figure out the package. [04:19] well I don't work for the CIA so I'm not too worried about that. [04:19] greetings ubuntu channe folks... i have a problem trying to install precise... [04:19] c [04:19] m4v: ubuntu-bug doesn't really help for the kinds of problems I have [04:20] I say 'graphics problem', and it reports against intel graphics. Which is nice, except sometimes the problem is with compiz, gnome, or something else [04:20] Linux is like an Onion.. layers and layerrs.. ;) [04:21] nikitakit: fill the bug against all those? then let the maintainers to sort it out :P [04:21] nikitakit: If you think you have info to add to that bug (although it seems to have plenty f activity already) you can do 'apport-collect bugnumber' [04:21] Linux is like legos - little blocks stuck together... to make layers.. of a giant lego onion [04:22] I wondere if the lightdm not letting users login, but guest can login.. bug has been fixxed yet. [04:22] when i boot the installer (either graphical or alternate) i get a garbled screen. [04:22] !nomodeset |mmc_ [04:22] mmc_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:22] m4v: I still remember a very annoying problem that was never addressed, by anyone. It went away on upgrade from gnome 2 to gnome 3 [04:23] i have installed linux mint on this laptop, but I *want* to run ubuntu precise [04:23] m4v: doing that just keeps the triagers and devs from getting anythng done because we have to sort thorough it all and put it in the proper place and gather info before the devs can do anything with it. [04:23] dr_willis: not sure how to pass a boot parameter to a screen i can't read... [04:23] mmc_: that url shows you how..,. [04:24] unles you dont even see the boot/syslinux menu... then thats a deeper issue [04:24] wylde: well, is what triaggers are for, it is better than no bug at all. [04:25] better then no 'bug report' at all... ;) [04:25] i looked at it... it says something about a purple screen with a logo at the bottom and setting my language... i can't see those screens [04:25] installing skype on 12.04 had screwed up my system - I couldn't install any packages, getting - The following packages have unmet dependencies, followed by a long list of qt4 binaries [04:26] mmc_: when the cd first boots you should see a little man=keybord icon, tap the space key i think to get to the syslinux options. [04:26] one of the very fitrst things you see - goes by real real fast [04:26] tap like a woodpecker on the keybord as it boots. ;) [04:27] dr_willis: i don't see that screen... or if i do, it's scrambled... right now, i have the alternate install image burned to my usb stick [04:27] mmc_: the alternative instsller uses text mode. so it could be some other odd quirk with your system. How did you birn the iso to the usb? [04:28] startup disk creator in linux mint 12 [04:28] finally in the end it says - E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)., I did sudo apt-get -f install and it crashes with this error - " libqt4-test:amd64 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.1 cannot be configured because libqt4-test:i386 is in a different version (4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4)" [04:28] mmc_: you could look at the syslinux config files on the usb and try adding nomodeset to the options [04:29] mmc_: or it could be somthing to do with how mint made the usb.. theres alternativ tools at the pendrivelinuxx site to make the usb [04:29] any idea how to resolve this unmet dependencies issue? [04:30] tutysra: libqt-test came from some ppa? remove it and disable the ppa perhaps. [04:30] dr_willis: i have used the linux mint tool to burn iso's to boot my desktop computer and have had no problems [04:30] dr_willis: i don't think it's the burning tool [04:31] mmc_: it may not be correct for thenewer ubuntu releases.. you can use dd to put the iso on the usb also. no extra tools needed. [04:31] dr_willis: i tried to burn elementary and got the same problem... but not with mint [04:31] dd or cat can image the 12.04 iso straight to usb. - which is handy. but im not sure if that works with the alt-cd. it should i imagine. [04:32] you can also set up grub2 to boot the ISO images. and have a single usb with severall isos on it [04:32] bbml gotta get to work [04:34] dr_willis : i installed skype by downloading it from their website (.deb file) and this issue started when skype installation was aborted due to unmet dependencies, tried doing apt-get remove libqt4-test but again apt-get refuses to do anything other than giving the old error and suggesting to run apt-get install -f [04:34] hi [04:34] My flashplayer is very unstable in Ubuntu 12.04 with Nvidia card.

[05:32] hello [05:32] I hope you understand me [05:33] ... [05:33] whytw0sean: in properties that's is just setting the execuable bit, that much is correct. You'll have better results launching .sh scripts from the terminal. [05:34] I say, when I open a torrent file, as you know, it pop up showing me the content of the torrent to peer [05:34] so i would go to terminal then go to the cd and then do ./blah.sh [05:34] ? [05:34] before procceding to download [05:34] whytw0sean: eg 'cd ~/Desktop' './somescript.sh' [05:34] Ok ty [05:34] whytw0sean: exactly [05:34] Ill try it [05:35] maca: I noticed this same behaviour in transmission. it goes straight to download.

[05:35] Sidewinder: the disc is working fine again. unknown reason. great disagreement as to the cause [05:35] whytw0sean: also just for future reference. Since you'll be opening a terminal anyway, the command 'chmod +x filename' will set the file as executable [05:35] maca, I use azureus/vuze, but with maganet it just starts the download. [05:36] I have an issue related to network manager, I am trying to share the internet connected to my laptop through lan cable to my mobile phone,(to update the firmware on the phone) [05:36] !nomodeset | Gallomimia [05:36] Gallomimia: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [05:36] I have changed the Auto eth0 IPv4 settings to shared to other computers instead of Automatic DHCP [05:36] !patience | jean_brat [05:36] jean_brat: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [05:36] ah... ok, so . it don't show me first before downloading. [05:36] Gallomimia, You could try that. [05:37] jean_brat: your phone most likely wants a WEP encrypted connection not a WPA/WPA2 encrypted connection [05:37] Heh Wylde it says Bash: ./: is a directory [05:37] ... [05:37] when i do ./dshsdh.sh [05:37] maca, Correct, at least mine does not; it just starts the d/l. [05:37] are you telling me that transmission has problem to administrate magnet? [05:37] whytw0sean: does the file actually exist? [05:37] Yes lol [05:37] hello [05:38] how can I prevent gdm from being run at system startup ? [05:38] m0ugly: remove it [05:38] I had a look in /etc/rc2.d/, but didn't find a Sxxgdm link [05:38] m0ugly: or use update-rc.d [05:38] maca, Not at all; sounds like the same as my peer2peer client. [05:38] whytw0sean: you're not putting a space afte the / I hope [05:38] it says a second time an unrecoverable error so i suspect i should do that. is it built into the disk at all? [05:38] m0ugly: /etc/init.d/ would be the proper root for that [05:38] No im doing this [05:38] I tried, but there's no gdm startup script in the corresponding runlevel dir [05:38] ./jhjdhjdjsd.sh [05:39] I tryed sudo ./hdsdj.sh also but nothing happens [05:39] m0ugly: what did you type? [05:39] ok. thanks very much. And sorry for my poor english level, because i'm writing from spain [05:39] I told you there's no link to gdm inside /etc/rc2.d [05:39] whytw0sean: is there anything inside the file? Or are you trying to run empty files as scripts. [05:39] m0ugly, http://askubuntu.com/questions/76543/how-do-i-disable-gdm-and-graphical-user-selection [05:39] m0ugly: and I asked you what you typed, exactly. [05:40] I didn't type anything [05:40] thanks B|tchX [05:40] looks like what I was looking for [05:40] Lol Im not stupid dude (No Disrespect) :P i know your trying to help me.. I looked at the script theres Stuff inside. [05:40] Hm [05:40] m0ugly: then you obviously didn't try using update-rc.d... anyway, hope it works out [05:40] Well this was a windows program... it was a .bat file which is mainly the same thing as a .sh file... all i did was change the .bat to .sh [05:40] Would that make a diff? [05:40] maca, My pleasure; and I wish my Spanish was as good as your English. [05:41] I changed it is what im saying to .sh when normally it would be .bat [05:41] whytw0sean: umm yes, a batch file is NOT the same as a bash script. [05:41] whytw0sean: huge diff [05:41] mmk [05:41] foolsh, Thanks a lot man.. i havent tried that one.. its working [05:41] So how would i make it a .sh file? just copy the text ? [05:41] and remake a .sh file? [05:41] Or? [05:42] whytw0sean: batch file commands won't work in linux. Perhaps if you ran them in wine [05:42] hm [05:42] whytw0sean: yes, that does. bash scripting is not the same as batch scrtpting for cmd [05:42] Gnea, for that to work there must be a gdm script inside the proper directory for my current runlevel [05:42] there is NOT soft link inside /etc/rc2.d pointing at /etc/init.d/gdm.conf [05:43] Wine says: There is No Windows Program configured to open this type of file. [05:43] nice to meet you, sidewinder [05:43] whytw0sean, Please remember that .bat files usually contain DOS commands; not generally linux commands. [05:43] whytw0sean: you will need to rewrite the program for bash [05:43] can i tell the ubuntu live cd to check itself? [05:43] maca, Same. :-) [05:43] does wine ask you to choose a prog? [05:43] Idk sorry im new to Ubuntu [05:44] whytw0sean: no probs. everyone is/was, at some point of time.. [05:44] !who | whytw0sean [05:44] whytw0sean: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:45] kk [05:45] :) [05:45] hello I tried to set my ip to static (which i've done successfully before) but I get the following error: "RTNETLINK answers: File exists Failed to bring up eth0." this is my network interface: #auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static - address x.x.x.x - netmask 255.255.255.0 - gateway x.x.x.x, i've also set up my nameservers, anyone? :-x [05:46] whytw0sean: take a look at http://www.winehq.org/ if you want windows programs running under linux [05:46] Well i know how to use wine [05:46] :-p [05:47] but i will look since i havent yet [05:47] !whytw0sean does wine give you an option of selecting the prog to open the .bat file? if yes, select cmd.exe [05:47] phanimahesh: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:47] well no it doesnt [05:47] it just go str8 to term [05:47] whytw0sean, Actually, I've never had much success with wine. [05:47] but then it spams "cannot find file" [05:48] !networking | apan [05:48] !tab Sidewinder i like wine to be honest with u [05:48] whytw0sean: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:48] lol [05:48] lol @ http://books.google.ro/books?id=OSr42pEuTE8C [05:48] Sidewinder, i like wine [05:48] whytw0sean: try this. open terminal and run locate cmd.exe [05:49] that gives you the path to cmd.exe version of wine. [05:49] whytw0sean, If it works for you that's great, the few things I tried didn't work but I may have messed them up. :-( [05:49] phanimahesh, it does nothing it just goes to the next line [05:49] the probably cmd.exe isn't there.. [05:49] whytw0sean: maybe a stupid question, but was it called "something.bat" or "something.sh" when you tried to run it in wine? [05:50] DarwinSurvivor, it was .bat at first then i changed it to .sh [05:50] change it back to bat and run in wine [05:50] whytw0sean: was that before or after you tried running it in wine? [05:50] wine cant handle .sh scripts.. :P [05:51] whytw0sean, If you wish to learn *nix scripting, here is a good place to start: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/part1.html [05:51] whytw0sean: if it's still called "something.sh", wine won't know it's actually a *batch* file [05:51] phanimahesh, i changed it back to .bat and ran it with wine, spams the term cannot find file. [05:51] whytw0sean: well, at least it's trying to run it now :) [05:51] whytw0sean: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/112720-how-run-bat-files-wine.html#post658509 [05:52] try updating/reinstalling wine or create a new wine prefix. [05:52] whytw0sean: are you able to pastebin the batch script? I know a bit of batch and will be able to tell if it's just a standard script or trying to run something more "exotic" [05:53] cmd.exe is probably missing in your current setup, and if that is the case. wine can't run your batch script. [05:53] whytw0sean: basically, if the batch script has anything other than standard DOS commands, wine probably won't be able to execute them. [05:53] DarwinSurvivor, a friend of mine wants me to Create a server.. for this game he plays so im trying to set it up [05:53] whytw0sean: minecraft? [05:53] DarwinSurvivor, No its Runescape or something.. idk [05:54] you should probably figure out what it is before you run it [05:54] DarwinSurvivor, i know wht it is [05:54] er [05:54] Ben64, i know what it is [05:54] Heh,. [05:54] idk = I don't know [05:54] whytw0sean: well, if the batch script is supposed to launch the game server, I highly doubt it will work unless the game server is also installed. If the script is for customizing windows to make the server work, wine probably doesn't contain the parts it is trying to customize [05:55] DarwinSurvivor, now could i install cmd prompt? [05:55] whytw0sean: first, how complex of a script is this? It may be easier to simply create a shell (.sh) script that does the same thing [05:56] whytw0sean, You may want to look here to find out if the game even runs in wine: http://www.winehq.org/ [05:56] DarwinSurvivor, want me to just priv msg u the script? its not that complex [05:56] whytw0sean: I'm also curious as to why you need a batch script on a linux server in the first place.....

[05:56] also, what are you trying to run [05:57] Ben64, My friend wants me to create this server for this game he plays.. runescape so i downloaded the sorc etc and in the files it included run server.bat and compile server.bat [05:57] http://www.moparscape.org/smf/index.php?topic=367407.0 [05:57] whytw0sean: then it's not meant for linux. [05:57] ! [05:57] what all flags does the bot accept? [05:58] phanimahesh: /msg ubottu !bot [05:58] whytw0sean: please post a link to where you got the server software. There may be a linux version already (especially if it's open source) [05:59] http://uppit.com/bnzejwom1oxp/EasyRSC.zip [05:59] Says its suppose to run on Linux [05:59] http://www.moparscape.org/smf/index.php?topic=517543.0 [05:59] there thats the right one sorry [06:00] whytw0sean: does the software have a website? Downloading off uppit-type sites is VERY dangerous unless you know *exactly* who uploaded it! [06:00] DarwinSurvivor, i figured since it has screenshot and stuff it would work, the link i just posted says what to do and it says its suppose to run on linux server. [06:01] DarwinSurvivor, There's info on that game at winehq; not sure why he didn't check there first. :-( [06:02] Sidewinder, because i didnt really realize it.. like i said im new to Linux but want to learn, so the first place i come is right here [06:02] Technically it's not a native ubuntu application so not supported here anyway. [06:02] NP [06:02] its java [06:02] don't even need wine [06:02] yes its java based [06:03] but the files i need to run are .bat [06:03] no you don't [06:03] It says to go to the direc where it is located, and type the cmd ant run client [06:03] whytw0sean: http://www.moparscape.org/smf/index.php/topic,367407.0.html [06:04] ant isn't bat [06:04] I know it isnt [06:04] but thats what that website told me to do [06:04] it says nothing about bat [06:05] !java | whytw0sean [06:05] whytw0sean: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [06:05] type in terminal : sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk [06:05] whytw0sean: follow the java instructions for now [06:06] what pungi said :) [06:06] to install all the components for java and sudo apt-get eclipse to install the interface. Its a very good software!! you can use netbeans also! [06:07] sudo apt-get install eclipse [06:08] whytw0sean: after you have instlled Java, then go to http://www.moparscape.org/smf/index.php/topic,367407.0.html and do steps 4 and 6 (not 5) [06:10] I wouldnt use apt-get for eclipse or netbeans as it installs a ton of extra shit [06:13] Hi. [06:13] I am having trouble getting ELinks to work. [06:14] !details | AquaGirlLove [06:14] AquaGirlLove: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:15] I have a problem with ELinks not displaying in Lubuntu 12.04 in the lxterminal when I click on the icon in the menu list. [06:15] AquaGirlLove: the lxterminal icon or the elinks icon? [06:16] The Elinks icon. [06:16] tried running elinks frim the shell? [06:17] The lxterminal opens, but all I see is a cursor. [06:17] AquaGirlLove: open lxterminal and type in "elinks" (without quotes) and hit enter [06:17] I can run the program from within the lxterminal. [06:17] ...when I type out the command. [06:18] AquaGirlLove: ok, so it's just the launcher that doesn't work. Did you make then launcher, or did it come with elinks? [06:18] how about lxterminal -e elinks [06:18] I did not make the launcher. [06:18] i think lxterm does -e [06:19] AquaGirlLove: strange, I'm surprised a command-line browser would have an icon. [06:19] lxterminal -e elinks opened a new terminal with elinks working. [06:19] could be some xterm vs lxterm differances [06:19] hey is there a keyboard shortcut to close a crashed program thats preventing you going back to d-top etc. Like the alt-ctrl del in windows? [06:19] AquaGirlLove: can you type "ps x | grep elinks" into a terminal and tell us what shows up? [06:19] reason, maybe ctl-shift-esc [06:20] !xkill | reason [06:20] check the elinks.desktop.file see what its running [06:20] gah [06:20] okay then whats the shortcut to get terminal up [06:20] reason: try using xkill to close the offending application [06:20] I get this... 27204 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto elinks [06:20] so i can use the xkill [06:20] reason: ctrl+alt+t [06:20] sweet [06:20] reason, if you use gnome, you may be able to use a taskmanager [06:20] (previously it was something like ctl-shift-esc) [06:21] reason: you don't need a terminal for xkill, just bring up the dash (with the launchers) and type it in, it's a GUI application [06:21] ...and the elinks is in a red background with black text. [06:21] AquaGirlLove: ok, so it's not launching elinks in the background then [06:22] AquaGirlLove: that's normal, the "grep" part is a search feature that finds lines with "elinks" in it and hilights them [06:23] AquaGirlLove: please run "dpkg -L elinks" it should return 1 line [06:23] well my problem before is the program was a full screen app and i couldent get any where had to use the computers power button lol. so thats why i asked. wish they had a taskmenu like windows that pops up with shortcuts [06:23] that would be great [06:23] make a script file that runs lxteerminal -e elinks :-) [06:23] DarwinSurvivor, i got it now... i install java, i did sudo apt-get ant and now its working [06:23] reason: oh, a fullscreen app :( in that case, use CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a terminal, then type "killall the_name_of_your_application" [06:23] I have multiple lines [06:24] AquaGirlLove: sorry, forgot a piece [06:24] sweet i'll remember that [06:24] AquaGirlLove: please run "dpkg -L elinks | grep desktop" it should return 1 line [06:24] I have an urgent request. [06:24] reason: which application is it? If it's crashing, there's probably a reason [06:24] /usr/share/applications/elinks.desktop [06:24] openttd [06:24] transporttycoon clone [06:24] I still say pastebinit should be included as a default :) [06:25] AquaGirlLove: please run "cat /usr/share/applications/elinks.desktop" and pastebin the output [06:25] !pastebin | AquaGirlLove [06:25] AquaGirlLove: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [06:25] How can I find out if a certain image or movie was accessed and most important when? [06:25] the installer encountered an unrecoverable error. a desktop session will now e run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again. |||| alright now what. [06:25] worked fine i had changed it to fullscr was working then when i opened the game back up bam stuck in a full screen of black [06:25] with a cursor [06:25] reason: is it crashing often, or is this a one-time problem? [06:25] !reisub | reason [06:25] reason: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B.

[06:26] whats !reisub [06:26] ready, It's rarely a good idea to shut down *nix with the p[ower button. :-) [06:26] reason: alright. if it happens again, please come back so we can figure out what is causing it (in case it wasn't a random fluke) [06:27] i'll try now [06:27] !patience | anon [06:27] anon: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:27] nah one time thing just worked fine then [06:27] oops, wrong nick, sorry; gettin' late. [06:28] AquaGirlLove: ok, that looks like it *should* work. Just to clarify, when you run it do you get *nothing* or a terminal with just a cursor, or a flash of something quickly (like it crashed)? [06:28] i might need to hurry and learn more about linux and moding it. love to make an overwirtting taskmanager feature [06:28] I get a terminal with a solid cursor that does not blink. [06:29] AquaGirlLove: and what happens if you try to type something into it? [06:29] I cannot type in it. [06:29] It just stays as is. [06:29] AquaGirlLove, maybe you toggle xon/xoff === sattu94 is now known as satyanash [06:30] AquaGirlLove, it happens when you do ctl-s, to undo, i think it's ctl-q or another.. [06:30] AquaGirlLove: ok, please type everything that you see in the title-bar of the terminal window (something linke "lxterminal - elinks ...." [06:30] LXTerminal [06:30] That's all. [06:31] AquaGirlLove: what happens if you hit "Ctrl + c"? [06:31] AquaGirlLove, can you do "ctl-q", and see if u can type after that [06:31] It still stays the same. [06:31] * jagginess has no idea who AquaGirlLove is responding to [06:31] Ctrl - q doesn't work. [06:32] AquaGirlLove: did ctrl+c? [06:32] Ctrl - c does not work either. [06:32] The terminal just hangs. [06:32] ...like it is frozen. [06:32] AquaGirlLove, you using a custom kernel? [06:32] AquaGirlLove: ok, now try "ctrl + z" [06:33] AquaGirlLove: that *should* put elinks into the background and give you a usable terminal (then we'll know it's elinks crashing, not lxterminal) [06:33] DarwinSurvivor: It is still frozen. [06:33] jagginess: Custom kernel? [06:33] anon: ls -ltuh /path/to/directory might work. [06:34] I recently upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04. [06:34] AquaGirlLove, does lxterm work do a bash shell? === sattu94 is now known as satyanash [06:34] ,/to,/ [06:35] As far as I know, it does. [06:35] AquaGirlLove, can you succesfully start elinks manually from there? [06:36] When I type out the command at the prompt, elinks runs. [06:36] AquaGirlLove, what is the full string of lxterm with elinks? [06:37] (elinks -?) [06:37] I just type: elinks [06:37] AquaGirlLove, i mean the shortcut [06:37] This is what was in the desktop file: Exec=/usr/bin/elinks %u [06:38] jagginess: her .desktop file is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/968469/ [06:38] or his, sorry, shouldn't assume! [06:38] It's okay. [06:39] hello [06:39] AquaGirlLove: are you running lubuntu? [06:39] AquaGirlLove, Exec="/usr/bin/lxterminal -e elinks" ? [06:39] Yes. Lubuntu 12.04 [06:39] or maybe Exec="/usr/bin/lxterminal -e /usr/bin/elinks" ? [06:41] e [06:41] -e [06:41] jagginess: the .desktop file was supplied by the elinks package (found via dpkg -L) and has the "open with terminal" option selected [06:42] well she's saying it's not working.. so i'm guessing something is wrong somewhere [06:42] jagginess: of course [06:42] i am unable to open my back up on my SeaGate External hardrive [06:43] amysanaghan: that's most definitely a hardware problem [06:43] amysanaghan: is your question ubuntu related in some way? [06:43] like everything has been accidently deleted you think? [06:44] so I just installed ubuntu minimal, and installed mate-desktop with it. works great. but no audio! I tried compiling alsa myself, but apparently I'm a n00b. :P can anyone give me any advice? [06:44] amysanaghan: OH, sorry, I thought you were physically trying to remove the rear cover of the drive! [06:44] lol [06:44] haha [06:45] No - I'm new to Linux. I've tried the Crunchbang version, Puppy and Ununtu. [06:45] amysanaghan, there's ununtu? [06:45] * jagginess thinks amysanaghan is a nun [06:45] xD [06:46] I don't know how I go about opening the drive to be able to view my saved files [06:46] Flux_: 'sudo apt-get install pulseaudio' or 'sudo apt-get install esound' it's your choice really [06:46] must be a new derivative for convents :P [06:46] uNunTu [06:46] amysanaghan: what operating system was used to create the backup? [06:46] uNunToo? [06:46] Well, I had a Dell Optiplex with Windows XP Professional Edition on it. [06:47] AquaGirlLove: with the "crashed" window still open, please open a new terminal and run "ps x | grep elinks" and tell me if you get a second line this time [06:47] ok [06:47] pulseaudio just shows up as a dummy device in volume control [06:47] and doesnt actually play any sound [06:48] Then my PC crashed and I used a Crunchbang Linux CD that IT guy gave me. I was, at some point, able to view my saved files. [06:48] Flux_: 'sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio' then 'sudo apt-get install esound' reboot and see [06:48] 27477 ? Sl 0:00 lxterminal -e -e /usr/bin/elinks [06:48] 27589 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto elinks [06:48] amysanaghan, would "that IT" guy happen to be Nick Burns from snl ? [06:48] should I purse alsa too? [06:48] AquaGirlLove: AHAH, it's got the -e switch in there twice!!! [06:49] purge, even [06:49] How did that happen? [06:49] AquaGirlLove, it should only be one -e .. [06:49] Flux_: idk maybe sure if you had any on there [06:49] Ok. Like I said, I'm new to Linux. I'm loving it. But I'm new to it. [06:50] amysanaghan: Can I assume you've already checked all the cables, external power, etc for the drive? [06:50] AquaGirlLove, just replaced that Exec line and file a bug report.. [06:50] yes. [06:50] Flux_: reboot is essential if any new modules were installed [06:50] It appears when plugged in as a USB drive [06:50] How do I do that?

[07:07] sulaiman: gksu nautilus [07:07] sulaiman: noob question, why do you need to? [07:07] wylde, thanks, i will try [07:07] Do I need to make a Launchpad account? [07:08] AquaGirlLove: if you're filing a bug I believe so yes. [07:08] sulaiman, wylde : should actually be 'gksudo' [07:08] DarwinSurvivor, for example, I am in /var/www/ directory [07:08] AquaGirlLove: yes, that way if they have any questions (like the ones we had for you), you will get notified. It makes the bugs MUCH easier to fix if they can communicate with the person that filed it === orated_ is now known as orated [07:08] stefg: gksu and gksudo are the same AFAIK [07:09] sulaiman: is this for website work? [07:09] Okay. Will do. Again, thank you very very much. :) [07:09] AquaGirlLove: no problem [07:09] :) [07:09] stefg: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21033/what-is-the-difference-between-gksudo-and-gksu [07:09] Bye. :) === amphibian87 is now known as stompbox [07:10] hi everybody, i'm trying to write a script to do the following: launch the screen command, run a command, ctrl+a+c, run a command, ctrl+a+c, run a command, etc.......after launching a few commands the screen detaches itself, how do i do this.... [07:10] DarwinSurvivor, yes, I am running a simple web stack on this machine, it would be convenient if I could open up a explorer from the directory I was in [07:10] /server Irc.anonops.pro [07:11] wylde: yes, because ubuntu made it work that way... noob friendliness. In the good old days (tm) su inherited the complete root environment, while sudo just executed the command as root in user context. [07:11] is it possible to use ubuntuone like dropbox and have public url's [07:11] wylde, stefg: is it possible to send the current working directory as a parameter to nautilus, gksudo nautilus pwd didn't work [07:11] sulaiman: is it only one website you are running on the server? [07:12] sulaiman: gksudo nautilus /path/to/dir a window will open asking for you password. [07:12] sulaiman: there is a nautilus extension which adds a "open as administrator" (freely translated fom german" right click menu entry [07:13] sulaiman: you should try not to use sudo-powered file managers, instead you should add yourself to the www group so that you can use your regular user privileges to edit the files [07:13] <_jon180_> while using flash in chrome and firefox, my cpu usage is very high in 12.04, i see an unbuntu question about this but no bug report, is there a known solution? [07:13] DarwinSurvivor, oh, I should do that. [07:14] stefg: While "su" (without any username) would default to running a shell and "sudo" would default to running the command passed to it, gksu and gksudo both always ran only a command and never started a root shell (which wouldn't make much sense in a GUI context). gksu defaults to using sudo in Ubuntu so that they could be compatible with upstream .desktop files for GUI applications that ran as root. [07:14] _jon180_: flash is a closed-source binary-blob application to which ubuntu does not have the ability to edit, so fixing bugs in it is 100% Adobe's responsability [07:14] thanks for the help wylde, stefg, DarwinSurvivor [07:14] sulaiman: I would recommend against writing your website with root permissions, instead you should set up your permissions properly so you can edit the website as a normal user [07:15] _jon180_: solution: don't use Flash.. (1) what DarwinSurvivor said, (2) Flash development for Linux has been canceled, there will only be security-related fixes in the future [07:15] DarwinSurvivor, i am looking into adding my use to the www group [07:15] <_jon180_> how else can i use pandora for example? [07:15] user* [07:15] sulaiman: "sudo usermod -a -G www your_username_here" [07:15] <_jon180_> is there an alternative to flash? [07:16] !permissions | sulaiman [07:16] sulaiman: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [07:16] sulaiman: you will need to log out, then back in again for the change to take effect [07:17] sulaiman: then just make sure your /var/www directory is set to rwxrwxr-x (755) permissions (more info on the page supplied by stefg) [07:17] szal: _jon180_: Google will stil be providing a flash plugin, it will just depend on the PPAPI, which is currently only supported by Chrome[ium]. [07:17] <_jon180_> i use chrome, how do i switch to that? [07:17] _jon180_: nothing that works well ... there's gnash , and there are firefox extensions like flash replacer . The problem with both is that you d/l the file before watching or can't seek in the video [07:18] sulaiman: that way anyone in the www group can edit the code. If you've already edited some code in there as root, you'll need to change the owner of those files. Let us know if you need help with that [07:18] <_jon180_> this worked very well in 10.04, so is it that likely to be a bug with flash that only exists in ubuuntu 12.04? [07:19] stefg: for youtube there is also minitube [07:19] hi everybody, i'm trying to write a script to do the following: launch the screen command, run a command, ctrl+a+c, run a command, ctrl+a+c, run a command, etc.......after launching a few commands the screen detaches itself, how do i do this.... [07:19] DarwinSurvivor, stefg thanks for the info, I will try this out in a bit [07:19] _jon180_: it's very hard to tell with flash. Most likely it's the newer version of flash (10.04 had an older version) that has the bug [07:20] * szal supposes that the usage of Flash will significantly decrease come the release of Windows 8 [07:20] <_jon180_> so it sounds like there is not much i can do [07:21] do you have to register to attend UDS? since i'm getting an error when i try [07:22] _jon180_: unfortunately not. Go ahead and file a bug report anyways in case someone clever can come up with a work-around [07:22] gua: if you get an error, please post the error! [07:22] <_jon180_> ok, thanks for the help [07:23] on https://forms.canonical.com/udsreg/ when i click on "Register or sign in" i get "OpenID discovery error: Error fetching XRDS document: (60, 'server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt')" [07:24] szal: what does w8 use for flash then? [07:25] gua: looks like a server bug! [07:25] lotuspsychje: W8 will rely heavily on HTML5 [07:25] szal: for ubuntu there's gnash alternative i hear... [07:25] DarwinSurvivor: you get it too? :( [07:26] gua: well, it does say you need to log in through launchpad first, so my guess is it will work after you do that and it simply isn't a very descriptive error message :P [07:26] DarwinSurvivor: i had a feeling it was something like that [07:26] DarwinSurvivor: i will try that, one moment [07:26] gua: so probably not a bug, just a *badly* returned error message! [07:26] szal: html5 is already being injected badly right [07:27] DarwinSurvivor: user experience bug :P [07:27] gua: exactly [07:27] lotuspsychje: Gnash is a crutch, not much more than an emergency drop-in [07:27] gua: my guess is they are fully aware of it, and that's why the put they very explicit warning above the button [07:27] szal:strange that these days adobe still rules(with all there security flaws) [07:30] lotuspsychje: flash is an example for de-facto standards, that even the creator can't get rid of.... adobe themselves are telling in their roadmap that tey want to deprecate flash. But there is still so much money being made with flash that you just can't cut the throat of the beast [07:30] lotuspsychje: you can thank flash games and video streaming for that (and artists that never should have been allowed to touch a corporate server) [07:31] anyway, we're starting to get offtopic here [07:31] makes me wondering if theres not already exploits for ubuntu flash [07:31] we can discuss precise flash security right [07:31] lotuspsychje: as it relates to ubuntu, of course [07:32] so the whole world is vunrable on flash, why is ubuntu safe of it? [07:32] there are a few exploits in flash that work in ubuntu, but none that I know of that give them access to anything other than other flash sites [07:33] !bitchx [07:33] bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. [07:33] xchat rules [07:33] basically, flash has VERY little protection keeping a flash applet from one site/tab from messing with another flash applet, but flash itself is fairly well sandboxed [07:33] is there any software in ubuntu ,which is like win7 explorer? [07:33] lotuspsychje: ubuntu isn't 100% safe... but the consequences of a vulnerability are dramatically lower than on the windows platform.... [07:33] * B|tchX slaps lotuspsychje ^5 [07:34] stefg: well thats a realistic answer [07:35] richardlxc:there is addon for firefox to simulate win explorer [07:36] richardlxc: windows explorer is actually 2 applications. it is a file manager and a desktop environment, of which are you referring? [07:38] lotuspsychje: thank you [07:38] richardlxc: i think its called user agent switcher [07:39] DarwinSurvivor: i want to see process state [07:40] richardlxc: gnome-system-monitor or (h)top :-) [07:40] stefg: like chrome process ,and we can see ip address [07:40] hi, I'm having trouble getting the Ubuntu ISO to boot, at least as virtual media -- 10.04 boots fine, anything after that does not [07:41] I get the message "Boot Failed. CD/DVD Rom" [07:41] Lenovo ThinkServer TD200 [07:41] richardlxc: man ps === beboj is now known as tony [07:41] richardlxc: that is not explorer, that would be "process manager" in which case stefg has your answer [07:41] any clues as to what I should do [07:41] ? [07:41] guys, is there any way to install ubuntu from a SD card in an android phone? the SD card is blank. I cannot run windows apps right now, other than firefox [07:42] agronholm: which versions have you tried (the ones that failed) [07:42] DarwinSurvivor: just like netstat [07:42] DarwinSurvivor: i tried with two browsers after logging into launchpad.net and i get the same error :( [07:42] agronholm: also, did you make sure you grabbed the correct architecture (32 bit vs 64 bit)? [07:42] DarwinSurvivor: every single one (for the amd64 arch) === winb_ is now known as winb [07:42] yes, I'm sure [07:42] hi everybody, i'm trying to write a script to do the following: launch the screen command, run a command, ctrl+a+c, run a command, ctrl+a+c, run a command, etc.......after launching a few commands the screen detaches itself, how do i do this.... [07:43] gua: hmm, sorry, I don't know much about the site itself, if it's not working after logging in (as instructed), then there may be a bug. The only thing I can think of is making sure you have noscript/etc disabled first [07:43] DarwinSurvivor: I've tried 10.10, 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04 [07:43] agronholm: and you are 100% certain your system is 64 bit? [07:43] every one of those ends up with the same error message [07:43] DarwinSurvivor: yeah in firefox i made sure to, but then i tried chromium and chromium has no addons [07:44] yes. [07:44] it's a xeon e5504 cpu [07:44] gua: then there's nothing more I can do, perhaps contacting the UDS team will help resolve the problem [07:45] DarwinSurvivor: the thing is, they all boot in "legacy" mode but then fail when trying to verify the CD [07:46] paranoidphreak: expect [07:46] that is, if I choose to boot from the "legacy only" boot device [07:46] agronholm: please explain what you mean by "as virtual media" and "legacy mode" [07:46] DarwinSurvivor: do you know what an IMM is? [07:47] agronholm: IMM has a few definitions :P [07:47] integrated management module [07:47] allows me to remote control the machine [07:47] agronholm: no, i'm not familiar with that one [07:47] mongo: expect???? [07:47] agronholm: i'm betting the device name changed in the newer kernels, try to net boot [07:47] mongo: what device name? [07:47] paranoidphreak: it is a scritping language for interactive terminal sessions [07:48] !info expect [07:48] expect (source: expect): Automates interactive applications. In component main, is optional. Version 5.45-2 (precise), package size 158 kB, installed size 313 kB [07:48] agronholm: agronholm the root block device [07:48] DarwinSurvivor: so I have the cd images on my local hard drive and the machine I'm trying to boot is physically elsewhere [07:48] mongo: oh k.........i'll look into that........thanks [07:48] so I am mounting the images as virtual cdrom devices [07:48] agronholm: so it's like a remote virtual machine then [07:48] that's how I installed the current OS [07:49] except it's not a virtual machine [07:49] agronholm: Have you checked the md5sum of the isos? [07:49] agronholm: yes but you have the bios device, which is remounted as the root device after the kernel bootstraps [07:49] hi. [07:49] if the device name is not as it expects it will not boot [07:49] Jordan_U: I just downloaded them, I doubt every one of themis botched [07:49] agronholm: What error message do you get when you try to verify the CD? [07:49] hello [07:49] agronholm: and the original 10.04 iso *does* boot? [07:49] DarwinSurvivor: yes. [07:50] most of those type of virtual CD's looked like a CD device, but in more modern kernels they tend to look like block devices [07:50] how can i install sun java in xubuntu 12.04? [07:50] mongo, so I'm hosed then? no way to do a remote install? [07:50] hi again. [07:50] agronholm: pxe boot [07:50] agronholm: mongo seems to be more familiar with your type of setup than I am, so try what he's suggesting [07:50] mongo, I don't really know how to set that up [07:51] agronholm: Or using the netboot iso image should also work (even without netbooting). [07:51] what netboot iso image? [07:51] xuserx: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [07:51] xuserx: do you also need the browser plugin or just for a java application? [07:51] DarwinSurvivor, agronholm : I think casper changed after 10.04 to facilitate USB boots. that might explain the breakage of remote virtual drives [07:51] agronholm: if you can find what the new root device name is you could change it in grub [07:51] java + browser plugin [07:52] !install | agronholm [07:52] agronholm: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [07:52] mongo, that would help if I could actually get grub to start [07:52] sun java ,sun java-plugin [07:52] !automate [07:52] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [07:52] !java | xuserx [07:52] xuserx: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [07:52] but it fails even before the SAS controller initializes [07:52] stefg: ya, and system bios use to require you to set a usb device as a HD or a cd or a floppy [07:52] agronholm: But it would be *really* helpfull to know the error message you get when you try to verify the CD, and I'm assuming that by "Verify the CD" you mean the "Check CD for Defects" boot option. [07:52] jordan: yes [07:52] !minimal | agronholm [07:52] agronholm: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:52] xuserx: follow those instructions. stick to OpenJDK as the Oracle stuff has been causing problem lately (due to Oracle meddling) [07:52] Jordan_U: alright alright [07:52] agronholm you are pre standard ipmi [07:53] standard ipm? [07:53] agronholm: basiclly it is standarized on newer hardware [07:54] which doesn't help you much but should be a positive thing to look forward to in the future :) [07:54] this machine was bought in 2010 :/ [07:54] and it was a new model then [07:54] agronholm: Is there a reason you haven't stated the error message you see? If you don't recall and can't test again right now or similar please say so rather than simply ignoring the question. [07:55] the management plane is legacy though [07:55] Jordan_U: I'm just booting in legacy mode now [07:55] because I don't recall the exact message and it was localized anyway [07:56] agronholm: if you have a dhcp server on the network pxe is great, you can chain boot into ipxe and just give it a html url [07:56] http://ipxe.org/cmd/chain [07:57] Jordan_U: scanning cd-rom... [07:57] I don't have it anywhere public yet but I have it set up at home and in the lab at work to net boot to a menu where I can choose install/rescue or live images for debian/ubuntu/fedora and it boots to a mirror [07:57] checking cd-rom integrity... [07:58] so I enabled mouseover "sloppy" focus using gnome-tweak-took, but I also get an unwanted behaviour [07:58] now it stalled at manpages-dev_3.35-0.1ubuntu1_all.deb [07:59] I'm seeing that it's doing repeated read attempts from the virtual cd [07:59] the active focus window also comes on top after two seconds or so of acquiring focus [07:59] is there a way to get all my photos from picasaweb and google + ? [07:59] which preempts the purpose of having focus follows mouse IMO [07:59] any idea of a fix? [07:59] (except downloading them one by one) [07:59] <|MUSE|> the terminal in guake and yakuake behave differently than gnome-terminal, how do i get a consistent behaviour [08:00] |MUSE|: they are different applications.... [08:00] So, anyone know a method of changing an nvidia card fan speed in 12.04 now that nvclock seems to seg fault all the time? [08:00] agronholm: if i were you i wouldn't waste any more time in trying to install by remote CD-ROM. Read the netinstall howto and use it. As a side effect you will have a completly updated system after install. All a netinst-image needs to do is getting the kernel an the initrd in memory, the rest is done over the net. No use in dealing with broken virtual drives [08:01] <|MUSE|> sobersabre: no doupt, but it seem that gnome-terminal is eightbit enabled, and I cant seem to get gauke/yakuake into 8bit mode [08:01] stefg: unless that virtual drive is in a [08:01] LAN [08:01] agronholm: if you get pxe boot going it works for any machine on that ethernet segment [08:01] |MUSE|: 8-bit of unicode ? [08:01] sobersabre: google takeout? [08:01] ok I'll try that [08:01] thanks for the tip [08:01] UrB: takeout ? [08:01] what is that ? [08:02] service to download all your data in google services [08:02] haven't tried it in practice, but I'd imagine that does what you were after earlier [08:03] I find it funny that launchpad still has a bias twards i386 for builds [08:03] https://www.google.com/takeout/ [08:03] <|MUSE|> sobersabre: sorry I have got my problems mixed up, I actually cant get an audible bell from the dropdown terms [08:03] you can choose only picasa there [08:03] isn't it close to 50:50 these days for the install base? [08:04] UrB: how about g+ ? [08:05] What are the logical next step in debugging when nfs mounts get uid/gid 4294967294 and the idmapper is running? I'm running out of ideas on what can cause this. THis is nfs v4 from a solaris server to a ubuntu 12.04 client, using autofs. [08:05] UrB: BTW, thanks for reminding me aboud DLF :) [08:05] Zeising: do you have the users and groups created on both sides [08:06] Zeising: you can cheat and specify vers=3 as a mount option [08:06] is the idmap service, whatever it is called, running on the solaris side? [08:06] Zeising: is it possible you're using some active directory integration tool (centrifydc) ? [08:06] Zeising: are you running ldap or NIS? [08:06] sobersabre: I think in context of pictures G+ == Picasa [08:07] albums created by G+ are there just like others [08:07] could be wrong too [08:07] UrB: as far as I know: >>> G+ === Picasa [08:07] UrB: as far as I know: >>> False [08:07] :) [08:07] hehe [08:07] sorry fro mixing js and python :) [08:07] but, that should help you a bit [08:07] indeed. [08:08] Thanks, gtg [08:08] mongo: installing 64bit OS on 32bit hardware won't work, installing 32bit OS on 64bit hardware will just limit your ram and make stuff SLIGHTLY less efficient [08:08] Zeising: also if you are on sol11 ignore anything that isn't on oracles site, they change the idmap config massivlly in the last release [08:08] mongo: mardraum sobersabre: Since it did work before the upgrade to 12.04 (from 10.04) I assume so. Yes, I can run vers3, but it should work with 4 imo. and no ldap involved, just "plain" nis. [08:08] mongo: it's the last "free" solaris [08:09] I have to check that the portmapper there is running. That I haven't thought of yet. [08:09] mongo: also, Skype and Flash tend to work better/easier on 32bit (though I haven't had an issue with flash in over a year) [08:09] Is there any log file or way to find out what directories a user accessed in the last 120 minutes? [08:09] Zeising: linux really doesn't to nfs v4 very well [08:09] Zeising: I'd blame autofs first (did lots of wierd things to me) and try a manual mount for debugging purposes.... the next steps . i guess, would involve strace [08:09] * nikolja dobar dan [08:09] DarwinSurvivor: it is just frustrating, i'm waiting to see if this fork of libvirt builds ;) not very useful on 32bit [08:09] stefg: manual mounting didn't help [08:10] <|MUSE|> does anyone know how to set guake to use audible bells, or just what file handles the settings in the terminal it uses? [08:10] mongo: what version does 10.04 use by default? [08:10] Zeising: if you don't need ACL's which being on NIS you dont' just use version 3 [08:10] mongo: because that's what I can compare with :) [08:11] Zeising: and as a hint : try #ubuntu-server as well :-) [08:11] hi , I'm not sure to understand, i've a 10.04 server, to upgrade to 12.04, it's preferrable to wait July month ? cf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades : " until the first point release, due in July" [08:11] why? [08:12] hey. how do I check what package the /path/to/file belongs to ? [08:12] dpkg -S [08:12] Zeising: funny enough I can't find a 10.04 host to test heh, most people have upgraded [08:12] action09: it's because then someone else has ironed out the bugs for you. FOr critical infrastructure it's said to never upgrade to a .0 release, because they tend to be more buggy... [08:12] in my org [08:12] ah, thanks, agronholm :) [08:12] mongo: I'm preparing a move from 10.04 to 12.04 [08:12] Zeising ok it's what i understand :) thx :) [08:12] mongo: this is (hopefully) the last issue [08:12] action09: the upgrade process is getting it's first real-life use, it's likely there will be some bugs there, and the extra month allows them to be fixed for all those people that *need* a stable upgrade process [08:13] I'm also upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 [08:13] action09: Don't bet the farm on the upgrade process going smoothly .... would be the first time in history that an ubuntu LTS-to-LTS upgrade actually works :\ [08:13] but I want to do a clean install, I don't think do-release-upgrade would work for me [08:13] anyone know where I can find a ubuntu style theme for MATE? [08:13] kokyu: fgrep /path/to/file /var/lib/dpkg/info/*list [08:13] stefg lol including Unity stuff ^^ [08:14] Zeising: I would just make sure to do vers=3 until you migrate to krb for unix auth [08:14] stefg: I actually got LTS->LTS to work, baring some kinks. But it's faster to just reinstall, especially if you have all confs centrally located :) [08:14] Why can I not use find /path -name '/' -amin -120 to find all directories that were accessed in the last 120 minutes? [08:14] nfs4 nis support is minimal [08:14] mongo: that krb stuff might be interesting, since we have krb for authentication and nis for authorization. [08:15] anon: I think relatime is now the default [08:15] mongo, what do you mean? [08:15] tsimpson ok as i understand i'll not need to modify "/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=lts" , I'll be notified in July auto-magically ? [08:15] anon: atime is eats up a lot of iops, now the kernel only updates the atime if it is older than the mtime [08:15] mongo: it would still be interesting to see which version is the default on 10.04. How can I chech that, just runing mount does not say anything about nfs options, as opposed to 12.04 where you can specify vers=[3,4] [08:16] mongo, then how could I find all files and dirs that were accessed during the last 120 mins? [08:16] Zeising: I can't remember :) [08:16] action09: yes, you should be automatically notified when the upgrade is available [08:16] mongo: damn :) [08:16] anon: you could use the "atime" option in mounts [08:16] agronholm: I did an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and I lost X due to my nvidia. Next, I switched to command line and did do-release-update+upgrade to 12.04. [08:17] that happened to me (with nvidia) too [08:17] mongo, I need to find who accessed files this morning. I left my computer unprotected (without screensaver). [08:17] tsimpson stefg Zeising thanks for your answers ^^ !! [08:17] anon aie :( [08:17] agronholm: ... still loosing my X. Then fixed my nvidia drivers and I am fine. No other problems with upgrade. [08:18] mongo, Specifically I need to find out what directories were opened. HOw can I accomplish that? [08:18] I have to check on the idmapper i solaris (nfsmapid it's called here), and see if that's the culprit. It has to wait untill I have physical access to that box though. I don't want to kill it and not being able to bring it up fast :) [08:18] anon: well if you left it unlocked it would be your account [08:18] mongo, yes but what time? [08:18] anon: like I said, by defaut they dont' track that anymore [08:18] anon my co-workers made a speciality on this kind of activity... guest, accounts, hacks, teensy devices, usb, firewire, bluetooth.. It's total war :/ [08:18] if the modify time is older than the access time they don't update access time anymore [08:19] anon: make ctl-alt-L a normal step of standing up then :) [08:20] hey folks [08:21] is there a good alternative for jDownloader? [08:21] mongo, my screensaver always starts automatically after 2 minutes but I did the upgrade to 12.04 last night and this morning the screen was unlocked. I had locked it when I went to bed. Some people were in the room. I want to find out if they accessed the file system. [08:21] The unity integration does not work and I have to start via command line and there are some other flaws. [08:21] Is there any log file that shows when was the first user activity this morning? [08:21] nope [08:22] hey guys [08:22] if they are smart they would clear the logs anyway [08:23] mongo, thy are not smart at all. Normal linux users that only do surfing, email, checking but they know how to start nautilus. [08:23] i have a problem in ubuntu 12.04 and i need your help [08:23] Can I use stat on a directory? [08:24] anon: did you check var/log/wtmp? [08:24] mongo: I don't think nfsv4 is the problem though, because it works fine from a debian machine... [08:24] anon: atime is one of the most wasteful activities unix ever did, they are not tracking it on purpose anymore [08:24] shredding, no, what info is usually in that file? [08:25] I have 2 monitors set in twinview. I have a program I want to make sure opens on DFP-0, is there a command I can add to a shortcut to make this happ=en? [08:25] login tries and last logins [08:25] Zeising: are you sure you are not being mapped to nobody on the solaris side? [08:25] !ask | tsar [08:25] tsar: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [08:25] hi, am configuring pam_mount to mount home directories on the client from the server samba-ldap. I fear to make mistakes. Someone knows this subject and could fllow me please? === neptune is now known as Guest47814 [08:25] shredding: he left the screen unlocked, there is not an auth attempt on an unsecured fb [08:26] mongo: not 100%, but it works on 10.04, it works on debian squeeze... [08:26] bonjour [08:26] when i tried to open ubuntu with cinnamon interface it doesnt work , all what i see is ubuntu 10.10 interface [08:26] shredding, only unreadable junk in that file [08:26] Zeising: try it on 12.04 with vers=3 [08:26] that works [08:26] mongo: ok i did not know that [08:26] Had just read the last lines and added my 2 cent [08:26] mongo: But it's strange how v4 works on some machines, and not on some. [08:26] hello. Is Inotify enabled by default in Ubuntu? [08:26] anon: the command "last" is used to read wtmp [08:26] intore: i'm not able to answer your question, but i might state that #ubuntu-server is severely underused [08:27] mongo: unless I have to enable something server-side for each client. [08:27] Zeising: they probably are broken v4, and not passing auth [08:27] Zeising: I think debian doesn't do acl [08:27] anon: you can access it with the lastlog command, but as mongo said, it's not of interested here [08:27] can I kill acl and still use v4 with some mount option? [08:27] stefg r u seen my question [08:28] stefg, server is debian squeeze, am configuring ubuntu clients. do you think will be ok that channel? [08:28] Zeising: if you kill acl and are using nis you may as well just use v3 [08:28] mongo: ok.. [08:28] Any Jedi Masters available to answer a question === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [08:29] Zeising: ldap/krb5 is highly recomended and works well though [08:30] mongo: I don't want to switch to ldap without some serious preparation. It would be nice, but that's a project on itself :) [08:30] intore: you'll find out :-) The reason i suggest #ubuntu server is that i feel that more complex and server related discussions should go there. ATM #ubuntu-server is pretty idle [08:31] mongo: the little + after the permissions in ls -la indicates extended acls, right? [08:31] stefg, ok thanks [08:31] anyone know why sound quality is so bad in skype for ubuntu? [08:32] fahmyboy, it's because my logitech c910 cam gives so bad quality. :) Welcome to linux world. [08:32] crap, PXE boot isn't working [08:32] it's not even TRYING to get a dhcp lease [08:33] anyone can solve my problem [08:33] tsar: so you are on ubuntu 10.10 and installed cinnamon, right? [08:33] tsar, you haven't described it yet, how could we solve it? [08:33] ah, nvm [08:34] Zeising: yes [08:34] ok [08:34] but the same hardware was fine for windows [08:34] stefg in ubuntu 12.04 [08:34] "Boot Failed. PXE Network" [08:34] mongo: because 10.04 has that one. Seems someone broke something along the way... [08:34] what could I be doing wrong? [08:34] is it that the drivers are bad [08:34] I get this right off the bat when I hit enter [08:35] tsar: then you probaly have not chosen the right session type at the login screen [08:35] stefg and i tried another interfaces its same thing [08:35] stefg how ? [08:37] * stefg is trying to find lightdm docu [08:37] this is hopeless [08:38] whats hopeless [08:38] I'm trying to get ubuntu 12.04 installed [08:38] but nothing works [08:38] installed remotely that is [08:38] agronholm, If nothing works you need to start by checking your hardware [08:38] this goddamn server isn't even TRYING to PXE boot...just says it "fails" right off the bat [08:39] and how would I do that? [08:39] agronholm, It's a rewuirement to have working hardware to be able to install [08:39] requirement* [08:39] I'm well aware of that [08:39] I already have ubuntu 10.04 installed and working [08:39] not a single problem [08:40] been running for a few years now [08:40] agronholm, Ok, so something works then, right? [08:40] why are you trying to PXE boot? [08:40] agronholm: Like I said earlier, using the minimal (aka netboot) iso (as a normal CD, no PXE or other setup required) will probably solve the problem you're having (though I'm still waiting on that error message to confirm that the problem you're having is what I think it is). [08:40] how can I control which monitor a program is launched on in twinview. [08:40] Jordan_U: you must have missed it [08:40] I did tell you [08:41] mongo: next question... How do I tell it to use nfs v3 when autofs gets stuff from a nis map? [08:41] fl1bbl3: I'm trying to PXE boot because installing over virtual cdrom isn't working [08:41] I'll see if the netboot iso runs [08:42] agronholm: You said "now it stalled at manpages-dev_3.35-0.1ubuntu1_all.deb" does that mean it froze? What happened next? Did you ever actually see an error message? [08:42] Hey all. If I want to remove a program that I installed manually (not using a package manager), to uninstall it, there is no mechanism right? I just delete the files ? [08:43] it's emacs 24 - seems to have broken after upgrading to newest ubuntu, so was just going to re-install [08:43] Jordan_U: it claimed there was an integrity error [08:43] and stopped there [08:43] but I verified the sha1sum of the image and it matches [08:44] Someone use Guarddog, a firewall software?? [08:44] nicl: You should avoid installing programs outside the package manager. If it was a normal source tree then you should be able to cd to the directory containing the source and "make uninstall" or "sudo make uninstall" (depending on whether you originally ran "make install" or "sudo make install"). [08:45] nicl: right... if you used configure/make/make install you might be able to use 'make uninstall' in some cases [08:45] Jordan_U: yep, I realise that is generally true. But some programs aren't available in an up to date form via a package manager. Thanks - I will try make uninstall! [08:45] Jordan_U: does that give you the information you needed or do you need more? [08:46] <|MUSE|> does anyone know how to set guake to use audible bells, or just what file handles the settings in the terminal it uses? Or if you can use another terminal emulator? [08:46] agronholm: Were other files verified as good before that? Normally I would attribute such an error to a faulty CDROM drive, though that doesn't quite make sense in this instance obviously. [08:46] I could've sworn I typed the actual message here but I guess that never happened [08:46] Jordan_U: yes, several other files were verified [08:46] at least it passed by those files [08:46] can you read disqus comments? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/bbc-feature-ubuntu/ [08:47] ? [08:47] stefg: thanks btw. Seems to have worked :) [08:48] nicl: and next time you're going to use /at least) checkinstall .... [08:48] !info checkinstall [08:48] checkinstall (source: checkinstall): installation tracker. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.2-3ubuntu1 (precise), package size 114 kB, installed size 502 kB [08:48] hi, i was trying to install ubuntu 12.04 but the setup keeps crashing at the timezone selection screen.. are their any known solutions? [08:49] agronholm: That means that the kernel could actually access the "Drive", but it still had read errors / corruption. That's very odd. The minimal iso will probably still work, by virtue of there being very few files and all of them loaded through BIOS calls (which should handle the virtual CDROM drive properly) but it still doesn't quite make sense to me how this could be happening. [08:49] I'm attempting to boot that mini.iso now [08:50] Jordan_U: no dice [08:50] Boot Failed. CD/DVD Rom [08:50] agronholm: Can you try doing an md5sum check of the Virtual CD while booted from your existing Ubuntu 10.04 system? [08:50] stefg: just had a look online, and looks like a nice way to track files associated with a program [08:50] stefg: thanks [08:51] Jordan_U: you must understand that this error message appears *before* even the 3rd party device ROMs have initialized [08:51] so it hasn't even started to load the boot loader [08:51] I have no idea what it's doing there [08:52] but I can even boot the windows xp install cd successfully [08:52] Hey guys. After putting a ATI readon graphics card in my computer, ubuntu won't detect the onboard soundcard. In alsamixer I only have "s/pdif", and when using "aplay -l | grep card", only the hdmi output shows up.- Any ideas ? [08:53] agronholm: I understand that that's what's happening with the most recent error, and it is indeed baffling. It leads me to suspect more strongly that this is a bug in your hardware/firmware/configuration somehow even though it does appear in some ways to be specific to certain Ubuntu versions. [08:54] could it be that it's trying to load some EFI boot file from the CD? [08:54] I'm grasping at straws here... [08:54] hi everyone [08:54] agronholm: It could indeed, newer versions of Ubuntu do contain a [U]EFI bootloader. [08:54] I want to install ubuntu 11.10 via a usb stick [08:54] but when I boot it up [08:55] it showed me that: initramfs unpacking failed XZ-compressed data is corrupted [08:55] Jordan_U: if that's true, then I couldn't even install it from a real cd [08:55] any suggestions? [08:56] agronholm: That wouldn't quite explain the "booting but some files seem corrupted" symptom, but could explain the "Not even getting to the bootloader" ones. Thankfully there are iso images without any [U]EFI loaders for dealing with buggy firmware. [08:56] hbccbh1, Redo the usb. It sounds like there something wrong with the disk image on the usb. [08:56] Jordan_U: I haven't found them yet [08:56] powergiant: I have try serval times [08:56] the same with fedora, archlinux xubuntu's image [08:57] hbccbh1, Have you tried an different usb ? [08:57] yes, I have tried liveCD too :( [08:58] powergiant: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=138668 my situations like it [08:58] I suspect the cd-rom read error is related to the legacy mode, since I've never used it before [08:58] agronholm: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ anything containing "+mac". [08:59] hbccbh1, Well then I don't know. Can anything boot on the computer? [08:59] Jordan_U: I don't see server images there [08:59] agronholm: could instal minimal [09:00] I can try booting from such an image to see if it works [09:00] it would at least validate the EFI theory [09:01] ahhh [09:01] found the server image [09:02] it was in a different location [09:02] agronholm: Out of curiosity, where?

[09:10] Jordan_U: sure [09:10] about to boot from the +mac iso [09:10] ilija: you don't get an 'ok' after every command, its redundant [09:10] agronholm: Thanks. === Sergio is now known as Guest60823 [09:11] ok and what now [09:11] can i now try to restart my pc i try login [09:11] ilija: sudo touch /var/log/kern.log; sudo touch /var/log/syslog [09:12] is this a good channel for asking questions about 12.04 ? or should i go to ubuntu+1 [09:12] ubuntu+1 is for the unreleased version of ubuntu [09:12] carpediembaby: precise is supported here now, as it is released [09:13] gah, I discovered why PXE boot wasn't working [09:13] it needs to be enabled separately for each NIC [09:13] why [09:13] ActionParsnip: i trier yout 2 commands i output is nothing [09:14] is that ok [09:14] ok. so i cannot install 12.04 using the iso i downloaded. it crashes at the timezone selection screen and there seems to be no recovery from that. i looked on the internet and someone suggested a text based installer (from a source i don't know about) but i wanted to ask for a better solution first [09:15] Jordan_U: successfully booted from the precise+mac iso [09:15] ilija: yes, AGAIN, no news is good news, you don't get an OK after each command, its redundant [09:15] ilija: unless you get an output, assume the command succeeded [09:15] carpediembaby: Personally I always use the alternate installer It just fells fast to me [09:15] waiting is the best solution. Ubuntu 12.04 is not ready yet [09:15] i had previously updated to 12.04 beta on a working 11.10 install but it didn't quite work.. so now i'm trying a new install [09:16] there is so many bugs [09:16] ok thank you [09:16] i found one bug [09:16] zeal18: i feel the same way. though why release it if its not? [09:16] i am going to try restart and i will come again to say results [09:17] zeal18: some has to test it first [09:17] someone* [09:17] it's shedule [09:17] foolsh: how do i use the alternate installer? [09:18] I think, Ubuntu mast release when it ready to release but not at April and October [09:18] carpediembaby: its all text menu driven pretty self explanatory [09:19] foolsh: not for the basics! if the installer doesn't work, that's really sad.. [09:19] hy guys i am here again i i have to say thank you my problem i solver [09:19] thank you very much [09:20] thanks for ActionParsnip [09:20] carpediembaby: only hang ups are done auto detect thekeyboard if you use a US version and do some research about partitioning your harddrive for linux and you'll do fine. [09:20] foolsh: i meant how do i get the text based installer ? i boot using the usb and it gives me options to either start from the disk or start install [09:20] and gvo [09:20] and others [09:20] it's really sad that local-settings-manager crashes at changing system language [09:21] carpediembaby: ohh its a separate download [09:21] i think i should really just download 11.04 [09:21] you cat choise alternative dovnload links on ubuntu.com [09:21] *can [09:22] carpediembaby: 11.04 is my personal favourite I would stuck with that [09:22] sorry for my grammar(( [09:23] carpediembaby: Natty is EOL in October (just an FYI) [09:23] carpediembaby: if you want a text installer, use the alternate ISO [09:25] Jordan_U: update -- even though I could boot, the integrity check stalled again and eventually failed [09:25] ActionParsnip: even 11.04?! :/ that should be 5 year support.. no? [09:25] only LTS releases get 5 years of support [09:25] interims get what, 2 years? [09:25] or 3 years? [09:26] maybe 3 [09:26] hi! how can I change the font size in Evolution (calendar)? When I print I can hardly see the appointments... [09:27] how can i see wich video driver im using on 12.04lts? [09:27] ActionParsnip: there's no way a distro released just last year would expire this October [09:27] right? [09:27] agronholm, wrong, ubuntu 11.04 will expire this october [09:27] d0gmaz: lspci -v under your card listing look for kernel module: [09:28] Natty = 11.04 = 2011/04 = last year [09:28] d0gmaz: or driver in use [09:28] normal releases receive updates upto 18 months, agronholm [09:28] my bad then [09:28] np [09:28] bastidrazor: thxx [09:28] who is still using 9.04 lts? [09:29] casper001, 9.04 is not an LTS version [09:29] lol [09:29] d0gmaz: you're welcome. [09:29] so, the first one lts version is 10.04? [09:29] hi ubuntu [09:29] 8.04 was lts [09:29] s/one// [09:29] bastidrazor: i use the opensource radeon driver, wich has vertical sync on can i turn it off? [09:29] hi everyone [09:30] !crunchbang [09:30] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [09:30] 6.06 was lts too [09:31] can anyone tell how to be part of the ubuntu [09:31] are xubuntu and kubuntu as well supported as ubuntu? [09:31] how can i officially join ubuntu [09:31] blade, there is actually no way to join ubuntu, since the os is free [09:32] blade, what does that even mean? [09:32] sorry [09:32] i mean [09:32] blade: use it spread it [09:32] like joinning Ubuntu officially by submitting bugs [09:32] and all [09:32] where can i do that [09:32] blade: you just need Launchpad account and Ubuntu [09:32] :) [09:32] what is launchpad [09:33] !bug blade [09:33] hmm there commands not working here [09:33] ;D [09:33] ok [09:33] blade, once you use ubuntu, you are a part of its community, now, using launchpad is a different thing ok [09:33] blade: you can read more about it in launchpad dot net [09:33] cool [09:34] !bug | blade, glosoli [09:34] blade, glosoli: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

[09:35] launchpad is one of the more frustrating websites in that it's always down when I try to use it. Which is usually after a release and I look for some bug descriptions, or might even want to report a bug [09:36] so i wonder what is Bug Squad for [09:36] sometimes it says something funny like "launchapd crashed trying to handle the action, and crashed again as we tried to automatically report a bug about launchpad's crash". yay. [09:36] alankila: never happened to me === lic is now known as Guest96469 [09:37] is interface the only major difference between (u,xu,ku)buntu's ? [09:38] carpediembaby: default apps and default desktop environment [09:38] glosoli: lucky for you. I experienced launchpad being down 1 or 2 days after 12.04's release, although it's certainly up more nowadays than it used to be [09:38] alankila: I'm on there DAILY and never had an issue except a few timeouts which resolve when I press F5 [09:39] ActionParsnip: but everything else works more or less the same way? there are not packages which would work on ubuntu and not on kubuntu, for example? [09:39] I been using Laundchpad actively from the first Dev Release of Precise Pangolin hmm, strange [09:39] carpediembaby: the underlying OS (drivers, services etc are identical) [09:39] carpediembaby: depends if you like KDE apps or Gnome apps etc) [09:40] ActionParsnip: interesting. Anyway, most of my bad experience comes from years ago. [09:40] ActionParsnip: hmm.. so if i wanted to try kubuntu, i should try 11.04 as well? since 12.04 will have similar problems [09:40] carpediembaby: what is the issue? [09:42] ActionParsnip: well quite a few .. i had updated 11.1 to 12.04 and it started giving me package errors which never downloaded even after updating sources lists and everything .. [09:42] then i tried installing 12.04 afresh and the installer didn't work [09:43] join #ubuntu-rorums [09:43] ActionParsnip: and now i'm thinking of giving kde interface a try after using ubuntu for quite some time .. and i don't really like where the ui is going with ubuntu [09:43] carpediembaby: there are lots of DEs and WMs to try :) [09:44] carpediembaby: you can also install gnome-shell which is the default shell for Gnome [09:46] glad to come here for the 1st time :P [09:49] есть руссаки [09:50] !ru | demon [09:50] demon: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. === orated__ is now known as orated [09:55] hi , I want to use my windows vpn on ubuntu 12.04 how do I do it [09:56] !vpn [09:56] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [09:56] thanks [09:58] hey all .. i've been getting constant segafaults of Xorg in libc-2.15.so ever since the upgrade to 12.04 ... how can i start investigating this?

[10:00] I am on 11.04.How to activate splash screen works? I did all the tweaks through "start up manager" and "gnome-splash screen", but nothing works.I get a broken screen after the boot loader. [10:00] beeju, what gpu do you have? [10:01] hello,i installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS and boot on 40 sec,is normaly? [10:01] 40 secs? [10:01] mbroeker, gpu? [10:01] beeju, graphics card [10:01] yes [10:01] mine is about 10 seconds [10:01] mbroeker, Nvidia [10:01] intel quad core + nvidia 9800 GT [10:02] Hello! [10:02] * casper001 shows john1000 a dozen of dan fast pendrives [10:02] beeju, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf and comment out vesafb (like this: #blacklist vesafb) [10:03] john1000: run: dmesg | less look for large gaps in the values on the left, use cursors to scroll dow [10:03] k [10:03] Hello, I submitted this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993245 And I am wondering, what happens next? Am I free to reinstall my system and see if it persists? Would that be counterproductive to solving the bug? [10:03] Launchpad bug 993245 in linux (Ubuntu) "Hard Disk cycles on and off" [Medium,Confirmed] [10:03] beeju, after that, edit /etc/default/grub and add vga=792 to the boot options. update-grub and reboot [10:04] mbroeker, can u pls describe what "comment out" means [10:05] beeju, the line looks now: blacklist vesafb [10:05] beeju, and you have to put a # infront of the line: results in #blacklist vesafb [10:05] beeju: add a hash to the left of the text, it will be seen as a comment and will be ignored [10:06] shape: you can probably adjust the harddisk sleep period to be longer than the average period between accesses if you worry about it. [10:06] shape: see the hdparm package, and option called -S, configurable in /etc/hdparm.conf iirc [10:06] alankila: it's turned off. No sleep [10:06] ActionParsnip, & mbroeker ..thanx..let me do [10:06] shape: really, you have disabled the standby timer? Perhaps the next thing to change is the power management, or maybe you want to extend your filesystem dirty flush period to, say, 5 minutes [10:07] alankila, It was disabled in power management. Let me check the hdparm thing [10:08] Can anyone give me any tips about installing a different kernel? Do I just need to acquire a binary orcompile it and somehow point my GRUB to it? [10:08] alankila, My question was more directed to what was the next step in the bug report thing. [10:08] shape: I'm pretty sure you'll find some hdparm -S250 like setting that will keep the drive running (if you are worried about the on-off thing, although these drives are ostensibly designed for this) [10:08] cerales, sudo update-grub will find the new kernel images when the files are properly installed [10:09] oh ok - so i just need to put the kernel files in the right location? [10:09] cerales, yes [10:09] alternatively you can try to arrange the filesystem flush period to be so long that the drives can spend significant periods asleep. I once had a linux box with very noisy ball-bearing harddrive set up in a way that often allowed HD to sleep for days (it was just a router). [10:09] alankila, -s: bad/missing powerup-in-standby value (0..1) [10:09] -S [10:09] mbroeker: great, thanks. [10:10] alankila, -S: bad/missing standby-interval value (0..255) [10:10] yes. So you select a value that you think fits you. [10:10] any tips for html5 videos having their YUV mixed up ? [10:10] alankila, What is the default? [10:10] how can i set nautilus to load thumbnails?reason: in chrome when i want to upload a photo to a social network,the preview of the file doesn't show up... [10:10] or how can i check the default [10:10] *shrug* I don't know [10:10] * alankila is all SSD [10:11] if hdparm -S does not print the current value, maybe it's the sort of thing that can't be found out [10:11] d'not find large gaps on this command [10:12] bcuraboy: nautilus : edit > preferences > preview > [Other Previewable Files] : show thumbnails : always, only for files smaller than : [10:12] alankila ok I'll see if it does it again. monitoring now [10:12] alankila, I set it do 255 [10:12] does the same thing [10:13] okay. I guess the drive firmware just ignores the -S setting then. [10:13] Hello, [10:13] you can try play with -B next, that's the advanced power management setting, 1 is most power-saving, and 255 should get rid of power-saving entirely [10:13] no idea what the values in between mean [10:14] alankila, but regarding the bug report, what will happen next? [10:14] hdparm manual page says that values between 128 to 254 does not prevent spin-down, so maybe -B128 for you? [10:14] Im looking for some support regarding 12.4, where im running into a purple screen of death once I connect my TV asswell as my monitor to my machine [10:15] This occurs only at booting and its quite annoying cause I sometimes forget to unplug one of the cables so thats not a solution [10:15] Deamosreapos, paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log to a pastebin [10:15] !paste [10:15] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [10:16] shape: I don't know. I actually only just now read what has been written. I admit that desktop system complicates the matter, as there's probably some daemons that maybe use hdparm itself to manage these settings as you switch between the outlet power and not. [10:16] My experience with hdparm comes mostly from server-like use cases. [10:16] Mbroeker you happen to know is I can acces my partition from windows? (where Im at now?) [10:16] alankila, nono, I am doing this for the laptop. The desktop works fine. [10:17] alankila, the bug is only for the laptop [10:17] I mean desktop install of ubuntu actually [10:17] Deamosreapos, a std install uses ext4 filesystem and you have to google for a explorer extension for ext4. it is possible, yes :) [10:17] on server it's pretty sure that nobody tries to manage these things for you, if you don't set them, you go with whatever the whole system chose as defaults, maybe at BIOS level. [10:18] alankila btw I tried B128 and B127 [10:18] and the same happens [10:18] but anyway, if hdparm -B and -S together do not stop drive spin-down cycle, then it's possible that for your particular use case nothing will help [10:18] I imagine your drive firmware has simply does not care what you try to program it to do [10:19] alankila but it didnt do this in 11.10 [10:19] the only option left is, probably, to lengthen the filesystem dirty buffer flush periods [10:19] shape: hmm... what's the status of the laptop-mode package? [10:20] or maybe it's called laptop-mode-tools [10:20] alankila, it's not installed. not compatible with kernel 3 or something like that was the error [10:20] Oh. === szal__ is now known as szal [10:20] and contents of /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode say? [10:21] alankila one sec [10:21] hello [10:21] mbroeker: [10:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/968769/ [10:21] hello [10:21] alankila 5 [10:22] have you got a writer editor saim at microsoft world (no open office )? [10:22] how can i set nautilus to load thumbnails?reason: in chrome when i want to upload a photo to a social network,the preview of the file doesn't show up... [10:22] shape: okay, I imagine the nonzero value means that laptop_mode is enabled. [10:22] alankila, yeah probably. I mean it knows Im running on a laptop since power management tells me batt, on AC, etc. [10:23] alankila, and spin down HDD is all set to off. and this happens in only 12.04 [10:23] shape: you can try, for now, to write a value like 30000 into /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs [10:23] there's no nautilus elementary for ubuntu 12.04? [10:25] bcuraboy: if you can find a ppa, yes [10:25] I've curlftpfs'd a remote server into my vfs. It worked but the folder now belongs to root / root. [10:25] sudo chmod -Rc chris:chris myfolder says: "Ungültiger Modus chris:chris" [10:25] mbroeker, about splash screen, I followed what u said, not it shows two broken image at bottom and top [10:25] Deamosreapos, you are using the proprietary nvidia driver and you have to disable modeset and the nouveau driver. i am not sure why it is not disabled: how do you have installed the nvidia driver? via repos or from website? [10:25] (Ungültiger Modus ~= invalid mode) [10:25] whats wrong? [10:26] mbroeker, about splash screen, I followed what u said, now it shows two broken image at bottom and top [10:26] beeju, changed /etc/default/grub too? [10:26] mbroeker, yeah [10:26] chris is my name [10:26] mbroeker, I plain installed then when the OS asked me if I wanted to install the other drivers I did so since I couldnt connect to my TV without that [10:26] atleast so I thought [10:27] mbroeker, whats this vga 792 means? resolution? [10:27] beeju, 1024x768 24/32 bit [10:27] mbroeker, ok [10:28] mbroeker, ok, thats the resolution shows in start up manager [10:28] beeju, just a test: shut the system down: if the splash works while rebooting, it's only a simple tweak [10:28] Ok, my fault. [10:28] it's chown [10:28] mbroeker, ok [10:28] however, i can't change the owner of the remote folder and hence can only access it with root. [10:29] How can I change that? [10:29] Hi. I'm setting up a Lubuntu desktop for school PCs. I need to "block" the screen, to make sure that desktop icons remain in their position so that the user can't move them. [10:29] To avoid the deletion of them I removed write permissions.... Now I need this ^^^ [10:29] I can't even access it with sudo cd myFolder [10:29] sudo: cd: command not found [10:29] I don't get it. [10:30] cd is a builtin [10:30] it's not a "real" command [10:30] or rather, it's not an binary you can run, it's built into the shell [10:30] but how can i access the remote folder? [10:31] StevenR: sudo ls -l myFolder works, it shows me the content of the remote folder. [10:31] I'm trying to install from LiveUSB, and when it gets to downloading the software sources, it ignores the change I made to software sources in software center. I'm trying to select a better mirror for me, but the installer keeps using cn.ubuntu.archive (or whatever) and it's INCREDIBLY slow. Is there any way to make the installer respect my sources choice? [10:31] shredding: what remote folder is this? [10:31] It's a server hosted on a2 [10:32] a2hosting [10:32] a shared hosting server [10:32] gaelfx: I suggest not updating during install [10:32] so... how are you accessing it? How have you connected the folder on your PC to the remote folder? [10:32] I can even sudo vim files via shell. [10:32] shredding: When you use sudo, you cause the system to temporarily create a login shell as the root user. Then the root user changes directory. Then the root shell exits because there are no more commands, and you're back to your USER login. The cd only operates for the root user. [10:32] shredding: yes, all of that will work because they're commands not built ins [10:33] ActionParsnip: yeah, but even just downloading the sources.list or whatever takes forever. it does that even when I choose not to download updates [10:33] curlftpfs 'Benutzername:Passwort@ftp-server.de/pfad_auf_dem_server/' ~/mnt [10:33] I connected like this [10:33] without 'parentheses' [10:33] IntuitiveNipple: nope. cd is a builtin. It's not a command that root can run. [10:33] shredding: It sounds like your user account does NOT have permissions to the remote directory, which is why you need to use 'sudo' [10:34] Hm. [10:34] StevenR: sudo will start a log-in shell (usually /usr/bin/sh for root) [10:34] shredding: can you specify user/group options to curlftpfs ? [10:34] I thought, once I entered the folder, I would act as the user on the shell. [10:34] As the user on the remote server i meant [10:34] shredding: it's not a problem with the "remote" bit [10:35] shredding: If you did "sudo -i" to enter an interactive root session, THEN you could, then you'd use "exit" when finished to return to your USER account [10:35] shredding: the permissions are being applied locally, but they affect your access to the remote folder [10:35] I can't specify any user/group options. [10:35] Hi. I'm setting up a Lubuntu desktop for school PCs. I need to "block" the screen, to make sure that desktop icons remain in their position so that the user can't move them. [10:35] To avoid the deletion of them I removed write permissions.... Now I need this ^^^ [10:36] It says 'Die Operation ist nicht erlaubt' which means operation is permitted. [10:36] shredding: can you run the command as your user? i.e. don't run curlftpfs with sudo ? [10:36] cagoccione: you could mark the ~/Desktop folder as read only to the owner [10:36] i try this. [10:37] StevenR: That did the trick. [10:37] Who. [10:37] Who-oo I meant. [10:37] shredding: look at the manpage, specifically, the -o uid, gid and allow_other options ? [10:37] Thank you very much! [10:37] no problem :) [10:38] ActionParsnip: I already did that. That avoids the deletion of files, but they still can be "moved" [10:38] cagoccione: ahhh, hmm not sure there. I know what you mean [10:38] cagoccione: let me see what's what [10:39] hi. i was trying to install ubuntu (over an existing ubuntu install) but the installer crashed and now i don't have either windows OR ubuntu.. it wrote over GRUB and i get: error: "no such partition grub rescue>" [10:40] ActionParsnip: I need only to know in which file lxde put the icon position. It just needs a read-only permission and it's done === ubuntu-studio is now known as unkn-error [10:40] hi [10:40] I have a issue with adjusting backlight on my laptop with the fn keys, anyone know how to fix it? [10:40] cagoccione: asked in #lxde ? === Jaqen is now known as JaqenH [10:41] can someone help me recover from this mess? [10:41] cryzeck: any chance of you tellng us the make and model of laptop? [10:41] carpediembaby, i guess somewhere in ~/.config :) [10:41] kde FOREVER) [10:41] ActionParsnip: yeah, they're all idlers [10:41] ActionParsnip: Lenovo t420s [10:41] mbroeker: what in ~/.config? [10:41] Hi :) This is my video-card model: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [10:41] My pc is really slow... which driver can I install? [10:41] carpediembaby, the config files for you desktop environment [10:42] It worked perfectly in 12.04, but not in 11.10, so there should be a way i hope [10:42] mbroeker: how are they related to my problem? i don't have a desktop environment anymore .. :D i'm running from usb stick [10:43] cagoccione: I'm afraid you'd need a special desktop manager for a kiosk mode (unless i'm overlooking some conf-options in lxde) [10:43] cryzeck: try: echo "mem" | sudo tee /sys/power/state [10:43] carpediembaby, sorry, sorry, i meant the other guy with a similar name :) [10:44] mbroeker: np! i tought so [10:44] ok [10:44] cryzeck: seems you need to add the boot options: acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux [10:44] cryzeck: source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T420 [10:44] cryzeck: have you seen that page? [10:44] yes, i've tried [10:44] also the echo "mem" part, which just puts it in sleep [10:44] Hi :) This is my video-card model: [10:44] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [10:44] My pc is really slow... which driver can I install? [10:45] can i make an install usb while i am booted with a same usb on which i want to write? [10:45] cryzeck: gotcha [10:45] carpediembaby, are you currently on the broken system via usb? [10:45] Mbrooker im now in my safe mode [10:45] mbroeker: yes. [10:45] @caroediembaby Do you have windows installation media ? [10:45] and i only have one usb stick [10:45] mbroeker sorry :) you said I had to disable drivers right? [10:45] kx__: no, i don't have the windows install cd [10:46] cryzeck: try with just one of the extra boot options, make sure you have latest BIOS [10:46] deamosreapos_, the nouveau driver and modeset for the proprietary nvidia driver, yes [10:46] How I do that? Or shall google be my guide? [10:47] carpediumbaby: can you try this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359802 [10:47] deamosreapos_, the nvidia driver should set it automatically: option nouveau nomodeset blacklist nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia* [10:47] ActionParsnip, How to update BIOS?? I want to do it! [10:47] ActionParsnip: I will, thanks. [10:48] because it again loads defaults!! [10:48] is there any way to set thumbnails to load in marlin? [10:48] pungi-man: depends on the hardware, i'd ask in ##hardware [10:48] !find marlin [10:48] Package/file marlin does not exist in precise [10:48] bcuraboy: marlin isn't supported here [10:48] Hi :) This is my video-card model: [10:48] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [10:48] My pc is really slow... which driver can I install?

[10:49] mbroeker, I got this pic after reboot( about splash screen) http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2zxr0j4&s=6 [10:49] Mbroeker so I now use the additional drivers program to reinstall the version current [10:49] so I should reboot now? and what else to do? [10:49] sturubinuru: what spec is your system..cpu? ram? gpu? [10:50] i've installed gnome 3 through software manager, it broke my system, no i've removed it, but in lightdm i'm still able to login to gnome [10:50] beeju, great splash: can i install it :XD? [10:50] how ca i remove all of gnome? [10:50] @carpediumbaby try the last post on the thread [10:50] lnxslck: which release are you using? [10:50] ActionParsnip, 12.04 [10:50] hello! The LowLatency dose it helps or not at photography? (using Darktable, Gimp, RawTeraphee && photoshop emulated with wine [10:50] lnxslck: then it comes with Gnome3 by default [10:50] sturubinuru: Is that on a Dell Dimension? [10:50] ActionParsnip, i've added a ppa ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [10:50] I am refering to the kernel patch from ubuntustudio [10:51] mbroeker, its not joke..I followed u and nothing changed [10:51] !nvidia [10:51] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [10:51] kx_: ok trying it out [10:51] ActionParsnip, actually it only brought unity [10:51] lnxslck: why, precise comes with gnome3, why are you adding PPAs? [10:51] lnxslck: Unity is a shell, 12.04 uses Gnome [10:51] lnxslck: Unity is not a replacement for Gnome [10:51] beeju, ok. sorry, i cannot help with your bootsplash problem [10:51] mbroeker, ok [10:52] ActionParsnip, IntuitiveNipple: It is an old compaq desktop pc. 256mb ram (16shared with vga) [10:52] lnxslck: if you install ppa-purge you can remove the ppa and it should reinstall the official gnome3 [10:52] sturubinuru: I'd install Lubuntu, it will run faster [10:52] ActionParsnip, i removed the ppa from software center [10:52] is that ok? [10:52] ActionParsnip: I'm with Lubuntu! :D [10:53] lnxslck: that won't reinstall the originals, like ppa-purge does [10:53] sturubinuru: and when did you tell us that....? [10:53] * casper001 minuses one for lubuntu [10:53] ActionParsnip, ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 is that ok? [10:53] ActionParsnip: right now! [10:54] where are the completion "config" files stored for zsh ? [10:54] Hello! I have an little question [10:54] sturubinuru: yes but it would've been useful easrlier, is my point [10:54] ok sorry [10:54] How many RAM do you need for ubuntu [10:54] lnxslck: yes, but you may need to re-add it [10:54] simple question-how can i have my music folder with the cd cover showing on each album?? [10:54] sturubinuru: OK ... try this: Reboot the PC and enter the BIOS setup. Find the setting for "AGP Aperture" (possibly labelled as Video Memory) and if it has the options, increase it to 8MB or 16MB if those are available. [10:54] !requirements | Janyk [10:54] Janyk: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [10:54] deamosreapos_, edit /etc/default/grub and add nomodeset after quiet splash, update-grub and reboot. should fix it [10:55] people are running debian on rassbery pi, i saw some videos on youtube Janyk [10:55] ActionParsnip, PPA purged successfully :) i'll reboot this to see the efects [10:55] !lubuntu [10:55] lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [10:55] sturubinuru: READ THIS link which describes several successful steps for that chipset: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/intel-82845g-788563/page3.html#post4385831 [10:55] Thank you ubottu [10:55] /part [10:56] Janyk: For a minimal non-GUI install, it's possible in 96MB although tight! [10:56] IntuitiveNipple: uff I lost BIOS password. :( I already tried to remove the battery but it doesn't work... It addressed me to think there's a special memory to store it, or maybe a default password is present also with factory-settings :( [10:56] what can be wrong if gnome-classic doesn't show the menu bar? [10:57] sturubinuru: No, you'll need to get into the BIOS settings. I'd *guess* there is a pair of CMOS RESET terminals on the motherboard. You might find them mentioned in the motherboard manual [10:57] ActionParsnip, now, how can i be sure that i have the correct gnome for my ubuntu? the one tha comes by default? [10:58] sturubinuru: There are reset procedures for the Compaqa (I have a little deskpro sff here) [10:58] asking for recovery software which will restore external had drive from the start [10:58] kx__: i tried the page.. i get stuck at the third line: chainloader +1 [10:58] lnxslck: yes, ppa purge reinstalls the packages the ppa updated from the default repos [10:59] IntuitiveNipple: what's yours? [10:59] sturubinuru: What's my what? [10:59] lnxslck: why did you add the PPA anyway? [10:59] How to install gmplayer, I tried both sudo aptitude install gmplayer and mplayer-gui [11:00] IntuitiveNipple: your procedure [11:00] ActionParsnip, it's a bit confused the gnome3 vs gnome-shell [11:00] Somelauw: sudo apt-get install gnome-mplayer [11:00] ActionParsnip, i wanted the real gnome 3, not the gnome-shell [11:00] ActionParsnip: Oh, that's what they call it, thanks. [11:00] ActionParsnip, so i read that in some site to add that ppa to get the full gnome 3 [11:00] lnxslck: gnome-shell is just a shell for Gnome, so you have gnome3 [11:00] ive learned to not add PPA's as they are generally not supported and for the most part may break your system [11:00] lnxslck: you have the full gnome3 [11:01] sturubinuru: Well, the compaq deskpro sff I have doesn't have a locked BIOS, but I read the manual for it and there is a hardware procedure to reset the BIOS. It can be found on the web by searching, too [11:01] Also, I installed mplayer-gui, but the ncurses interface of it won't open. [11:01] LinuxMonkey: i so glad at least one person has learned that [11:01] ActionParsnip, if i type: apt-get install gnome-shell shouldn't it say that's already installed? [11:01] lnxslck: if you have it, then yes. Default Ubuntu 12.04 comes with Unity [11:02] asking for recovery software which will restore external had drive from the start [11:02] LinuxMonkey: That's a shame. When PPAs started we used them to provide bug-fixed packages early for testing, or to release newer upstream packages. I think they're the victim of Ubuntu's success at reaching a non-technical audience [11:02] kasii: how do you mean restore it from the start? [11:02] !ppa [11:02] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [11:02] ActionParsnip, there's my confusion right there, i've installed ubuntu 12.04, and in lightdm i only had the option to use unity [11:03] ActionParsnip, after this gnome mess i have now the option to use gnome also [11:03] IntuitiveNipple: Yeah their not bad when their maintained but most just get depriciated fast [11:03] lnxslck: then install what you desire and log into the session [11:03] ActionParsnip, and my grub theme changed from Ubuntu default to Debian :( [11:03] mbroeker I installed the different driver, ubuntu booted normally, and I could plug in my HDMI and it would reconise my TV and I cloned the screens then I rebooted to check and I got a nice purple screen once more :( === lasher_ is now known as lasher [11:03] LinuxMonkey: True ... I just deleted about 60 packages out of my PPA that were overtaken by events [11:04] lnxslck: did you by any chanc have debian, then change your sources to ubuntu? [11:04] ActionParsnip, no [11:04] ActionParsnip, it was this gnome installation [11:04] ActionParsnip, i haven't used debian in years [11:04] ActionParsnip, i mean to recover all of my data [11:05] hi. where can I find the log of the installer ? it's been twice already that I try to install PP and the installer crashed at the same place. after not importing account. it just closed or disapear or crash. then seems to send something huge over the netwrok. a bug report ? downloading updates ? [11:05] ActionParsnip, i mean to recover all of my data [11:05] IntuitiveNipple: can i msg you for a sec? [11:06] Is there any chance to install Netbeans 7.1 instead of 7.0.1 on ubunutu, because the Button does not work in 7.0.1 and I'd call that a problem. [11:06] kasii: use your backups, far easier [11:06] shredding, go to netbeans.org and install the latest version. [11:07] mbroeker: Are there any problems if I install that? [11:07] kasii: or you can use foremost which will attemot to recover the data [11:07] ActionParsnip, i don have backups [11:07] LinuxMonkey: sure [11:07] anyone knows what could be wrong besides I had the wrong drivers but now the right ones? [11:07] shredding, no: just uninstall the netbeans package and make sure to install ant and a default-jdk [11:07] kasii: I suggest you get a backup regime if your data is important. Why is there no backup? [11:08] ActionParsnip, where can i get foremost [11:08] what do you mean be "default-jdk"? [11:08] !info foremost | kasii [11:08] kasii: foremost (source: foremost): Forensics application to recover data. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.7-1 (precise), package size 41 kB, installed size 140 kB [11:08] kasii: where do you get ANY software in ubuntu from/ [11:08] shredding, aptitude purge netbeans and aptitude install default-jdk ant [11:08] I guess i got that. [11:08] kasii: again...why is there no backup? [11:08] ActionParsnip, it was in extenal hard drive [11:08] deamosreapos: I've not read back on all of your issue, but am I guessing correctly that you have the cloned HDMI connected at startup ? [11:08] so can anyone help me with booting into windows? i was trying to install ubuntu (12.04) over an existing ubuntu install but it crashed and now i get "grub rescue> " prompt. i tried this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359802 but i get stuck at "chainloader +1" command [11:09] what does "aptitude purge" mean (I'm still learning linux) [11:09] kasii: you can still make a copy of the data to ANOTHER external drive. [11:09] ActionParsnip, i kept them only in external hardive [11:09] IntuitiveNipple that is correct I have a normal screen which is connected by VGA, and I got a tv which is connected by HDMI [11:09] shredding, use the package manager :) purge removes packages, install installs them [11:09] I want to use the terminal, it's more stylish. [11:10] hi does anybody know how to fix my boot problem. i have been searching on the web an trying various solutions, but it doesnt work and i need to fix this asap. [11:10] IntuitiveNipple and the moment I turn on my pc with botht the cables connected everything goes to smithereens and i get a nice purple screen to stare at >< I did found some others have a similar issue, but none of their solutions seemed to worked so far [11:10] shredding, do you programme in java with netbeans? [11:10] the problem is that it boots into grub rescue (macbook with 12.04, after the latest update) with the error on elf magic [11:10] deamosreapos: If this is on a PC (not a laptop/notebook) then it could be as simple as the HDMI output is seen by the video card as the primary output so when something is connected at boot it tries to use it but somehow the drivers don't know how. Do you get a proper screen if you leave the HDMI disconnected whilst the PC boots? [11:10] I mainly do PHP. [11:11] kasii: do yourself a favour and get a backup [11:11] I use eclipse for Java, because of the Android integration. [11:11] shredding, ok. just install the php package from netbeans.org and add the smarty zend whatever plugin from within netbeans. no need for ant in this case [11:11] IntuitiveNipple after this situation it gives an error it cant even load the OS, then I boot in safe mode then once I reboot it works properly again [11:11] gLove_: and you are on a Live CD on the very machine now? [11:11] IntuitiveNipple so thats then with only the VGA cable attached [11:11] mbroeker: I use ant to minify js and css [11:11] So it's cool. [11:11] stefg: yes i am [11:11] deamosreapos: let me think! [11:12] IntuitiveNipple fair enough :) Didnt ment to rush you :) [11:12] gLove_: so I'd try to reconfigure/reinstall grub first [11:12] deamosreapos: no, its dredging mty memory! [11:12] stefg: i tried, also tried boot-repair [11:13] stefg: what is the vital thing i am missing here you think? [11:13] shredding, the developers in my company use all netbeans and install the software in their home directory. they decide, which plugins they want to use and what not. [11:13] gLove_: I'd go with an old school " chroot into damaged system and dpkg-reconfigure grub" approach .. [11:13] We use netbeans at work to, but on windows. [11:13] stefg: gonna try that now, brb [11:15] mbroeker: Another n00b question. I've downloaded netbeans and have an .sh file now. [11:15] gLove_: Macs tend to have funny partition layouts, and grub is a special beast on EFI machines [11:15] Ain't sudo ./netbeans-7.1.2-ml-php-linux.sh the right command? [11:15] shredding, sh netbeans*.sh [11:16] shredding, or make it executable [11:16] it works. [11:16] thanks [11:16] shredding, http://www.anrichter.net/2010/01/trac-ticketsystem-in-die-netbeans-ide-integrieren/ [11:16] ActionParsnip, i don't see the forensics application see the image of the screen after searching so which is which [11:16] deamosreapos: I seem to remember when I saw that happen there was a hardware issue going on, but I'm struggling to recall or find any notes on the incident [11:17] shredding, that's BIRT, business intelligence for netbeans: greatest netbeans plugin ever :) [11:17] kasii: sudo apt-get install foremost [11:17] ActionParsnip, http://imagebin.org/211087 [11:17] mbroeker: Looks nice. But we're using codebase for ticketig. [11:17] IntuitiveNipple ok well as my hardware concerned: intel core2quad Q9450, geforce GTX460 and I think the card might be the issue somewhere but not quite sure [11:18] mbroeker: Looks nice. But we're using codebase for ticketing. [11:18] kasii: close that and use the terminal, should be ok [11:19] deamosreapos: Yes, it could be. If you had an alternative video adapter lying around (or in another PC) I'd be tempted to swap it in just to test whether this is specific to the video card, or a more general system problem. That helps to isolate and identify the bug [11:19] mbroeker: Thanks for your tips. I have now netbeans up and running. [11:20] !pm > dennis__ [11:20] dennis__, please see my private message [11:20] I'm trying to install to an Asus 1225B using LiveUSB, but every time I do, when it gets to dummy grub-install, the screen turns into a terminal, though the mouse remains and can move for a while before it freezes. Anyone have any idea what's going on? [11:20] ActionParsnip, do you know how can i get the default grub theme back? [11:20] stefg, ok [11:21] IntuitiveNipple could give that a go, [11:21] stefg, i am trying stuff now [11:21] but that will be later on today then, since thats quite the operation [11:21] dennis__: assuming you're gLove_ you could drop a fdisk -l listing to paste.ubuntu.com [11:21] IntuitiveNipple say if thats the problem then what could I do? [11:22] how to create a csv file in ubuntu ? [11:23] deamosreapos: Well, until you can narrow down the possibilities its hard to say, but the art of bug tracking and fixing is to narrow down the possibilities to ONE ! [11:23] vectorshelve, without programming skills? use libreoffice and export a table to csv :) [11:23] Torified Pidgin and Thunderbird cannot connect? [11:23] lnxslck: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth; sudo update-initramfs -u [11:23] vectorshelve: a CSV is just a text file with comma-separated values so you could do something like echo "1,2,3,4,5" > myfile.csv [11:23] vectorshelve: use gedit [11:24] so how to get rows out of it... new lines ? [11:24] vectorshelve: Precisely [11:24] is it normal for Ubiquity to destroy the GUI during installing grub? [11:25] vectorshelve: And most applications that read CSVs will look for column names on the first line [11:25] gaelfx: I think that happens when grub tests for graphics video mode support and it goes wrong [11:25] I want a csv file like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/968889/ [11:25] with the same values.. [11:26] I'm in the software center, and I keep seeing that I have java installed. I uninstall it. I come back. It's there showing that it's still installed. Rinse. Repeat... Eh? [11:26] dennis__ , gLove_ : http://www.rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/index.html might help [11:26] vectorshelve, and the input format is what? [11:26] craigbass1976: tried using apt-get in the terminal? [11:26] craigbass1976: you could try remving it with apt-get uninstall [11:27] IntuitiveNipple: so you're saying I just need to wait it out or I need to use nomodeset when booting the Live image? or what? [11:27] mbroeker: http://paste.ubuntu.com/968892/ [11:27] how can I get the csv like this [11:27] vectorshelve: simply paste those lines into a text file and save it as a .csv file. As someone else said you can use the system text editor, gedit [11:27] what's the name of the flash installed package? [11:27] installer [11:27] IntuitiveNipple: the first row should be the attribute names right ? [11:27] krababbel, not remove? [11:28] gaelfx: No, you're hitting a bug I think, grub shouldn't let you see it's doing that. At most you should see a slight flicker [11:28] vectorshelve: look at awk / mawk [11:28] IntuitiveNipple: the weird thing is, the rest of the screen turns into CLI with lots of hex addresses and a little text, but the mouse remains exactly the same as it was [11:28] stefg: whats that ? [11:28] vectorshelve: That can help *if* the program that reads the CSV knows to take the first line as column names but that is OPTIONAL - you don't need that for a valid CSV [11:29] craigbass1976: ? [11:29] !info awk | vectorshelve [11:29] vectorshelve: Package awk does not exist in precise [11:29] !info mawk | vectorshelve [11:29] vectorshelve: mawk (source: mawk): a pattern scanning and text processing language. In component main, is required. Version 1.3.3-17 (precise), package size 82 kB, installed size 186 kB [11:29] IntuitiveNipple: ok so I just need to copy paste the data as it is and save as .csv ? [11:29] gaelfx: It sounds like there are two screen drivers trying to operate: a framebuffer and a graphics driver for X [11:29] krababbel, I've never used uninstall, and didn't know it was even an option. I always did remove [11:29] vectorshelve: You've got it! :) [11:29] vectorshelve: that's as old as unix .... but still useful [11:29] vectorshelve, cat test.txt | awk -F", " '{ print $1 $2 $3 $4 }' [11:29] IntuitiveNipple: thanks [11:30] craigbass1976: sorry, it is remove probably, I haven't used it in a while [11:30] IntuitiveNipple: is there anyway I can check what's left of the install for error logs? [11:30] mbroeker: I dont know awk... wat does it do /. [11:30] craigbass1976: Yesterday I had the same problem with a Thunderbird addon. [11:30] vectorshelve, try it out in your terminal with your test.csv file [11:30] IntuitiveNipple: or possibly try reinstalling grub to get things actually bootable? [11:30] mbroeker: ok thanks [11:30] vectorshelve, $1 is the first value, $2 the second and so on [11:30] ActionParsnip, see how terminal how it behaves and what to do http://imagebin.org/211089 [11:31] krababbel, mwahaha: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-debian-package-management-cheat-sheet.html [11:31] mbroeker: so its a loop that repeats for all rows [11:31] ActionParsnip, see how terminal how it behaves and what to do http://imagebin.org/211089 [11:31] vectorshelve, cat test.txt | awk -F", " '{ print $1 "-" $2 "--" $3 "----" $4 }' [11:31] gaelfx: There are logs, if I recall, in /var/log/installer/ and other log files in /var/log/ [11:31] craigbass1976: :) I often use purge [11:31] vectorshelve, awk processes every line and prints what it should print $1-$4 in this case [11:32] anyone knows how to reinstall a package by using apt-get? [11:32] mbroeker: ok thanks [11:32] (not removed and install, but automatically reinstall) [11:32] BlouBlou, apt-get install package name [11:32] BlouBlou: why? [11:32] BlouBlou: apt-get install -reinstall [11:32] BlouBlou, with or without lost config files?

Having installed 12.04 i could either install nfs-kernel server, use samba or plain ftp.

[13:00] neweruser1: I'm running it on an E-450 right now, I can't see why it wouldn't work on that proc [13:00] neweruser1, use the newest ubuntu, tho [13:00] yes i downloaded the latest 64bit 2 days ago [13:00] neweruser1: it should do... you are going to boot a Live CD, so you'll see before installation [13:00] what happens> [13:00] ?

Any suggestions on how to diagnose what's happening, please? [13:13] jal, restart/asap press the "up key" [13:13] virpara: having a fdisk -l listing on paste.ubuntu.com would help, along with the output of 'sudo blkid' and the /etc/fstab of the system in question [13:13] jal, not after the screen, but rather as soon as you start booting [13:13] badabum, do your laptop keys work properly [13:13] mbroeker: i believe so, all the others work fine [13:13] gry, thanks [13:13] mean like bios?

[13:16] yes sir [13:16] badabum, anyway: my laptop has a bios option enabled or last state: i switched it to enabled, installed linux-firmware-nonfree and rebooted and it just worked. after that, i switched it back to last state.

[13:30] i never had this problem with the ubuntu from 2 years ago [13:30] stefg well i have installed grub2 in sda3 and that is where i have installed ubuntu [13:30] thinkt510: the problem is same with ubuntu 11.04 cd [13:30] jal: omgubuntu has a guide called: sticking it to grub it includes a chroot first step [13:30] kumar: you need to burn the iso as an image to the disk [13:30] i have this problem with nouveau(nvidia card) on 12.04, neweruser123 [13:30] Gry i find how to chnage it , thanks to you !! [13:30] Hey guys, I am considering trying out Ubuntu 12.04. The main things I use my computer for are browsing, email, video editing and photo manipulation. Do you guys have any advice for me before I take the plunge? [13:31] izissise, oo nice :-) [13:31] thinkt510: i burned it usung roxio image burner [13:31] mbroeker: you can block the module with the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [13:31] stefg i use windows bootloader to chainload grub2 [13:31] kumar: how exactly? did you just put the iso on it? [13:31] ballyhoo_ do it up [13:31] there is a lot of good programs fo all that [13:31] Ok let me rephrase it, basically Im in live cd, and my ubuntu is set at 1080p but I can see only a glimpse of the side bar with the icons [13:31] neweruser123, ubuntu has chage so much that its hard to keep up.. even the core [13:31] What permissions do I need to set on an autostart file? It is a script file. [13:31] i am doing up arrow key [13:31] stefg it means sda3 does not have MBR [13:31] i arrange another pc [13:32] ActionParsnip, i need nouveau: it works, but the initial resolution is too small: i have written a script which calls xrandr twice and it fixes it [13:32] thinkt510: when i tried ubuntu on my laptop from cd before installng it works fine [13:32] hi guys, I used pysdm to configure the mount of my partitions. There it says that file can be executed and fstab tells me that it should be mounted "users, user".. |mount| tells me that /dev/sda7 is mounted noexec though. How can I fix that? [13:32] mbroeker: you could make an xorg.conf I guess, are there any bugs reported? [13:32] I followed this instructions to remove xubuntu and install ubuntu: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu , but after the "loading" ubuntu screen, nothing shows up. I can switch to a terminal and startx manually [13:32] kumar: hmm [13:32] newuser123 turn down the setting somewhere on your video card/tv [13:33] which setting exactly [13:33] I am using HDMI just to let you know [13:33] can anyone see me? [13:33] coldlogic: I primarily use Premiere and Photoshop on Windows. What programs on Ubuntu are there that are similar? [13:33] coldlogic: yes [13:33] coldlogic: es [13:33] is it possible that the login manager is not starting for some reason? [13:33] neweruser123, ok [13:33] ok [13:33] sweet [13:33] thinkt510: but when i try to install disk just opens up [13:33] ballyhoo_, for img editing GIMP. For video editing I don't know [13:33] jal hows it doing? [13:33] wait [13:33] booting [13:33] jal, ok [13:34] virpara: yeah, reordering partition table entries could mess that up... btw the partition table is part of the mbr, i'm not talking of a boot record for grub. But you may consider using grub2 in the mbr to dualboot. grub is easier than BCDedit :-) [13:34] ohh it fixed i did the reset on my monitor setting [13:34] kumar: so you can boot the cd into ubuntu but when you launch the installer it ejects the cd? [13:34] ballyhoo_ openshot video editor [13:34] i had installed unoffical .deb and i want to remove now , how? [13:34] windows had messed up my monitor setting [13:34] gimp for image editor [13:35] stefg i liked "grub is easier than BCDedit :-)" [13:35] ok so my 2nd question is, the keyboard layout [13:35] thinkt510: yes exactly [13:35] yeasssssss sir [13:35] kumar: strange, i've never seen that [13:35] newuser action is there anything about 1080/720 hd stuff not being supported out of the box... i though i seen a paper about it [13:35] the email and stuff in thunderbird by default. decent proggy [13:35] now i can login [13:35] all the buttons are in random places such as I press the @ and its in place of the " [13:35] easy to use [13:35] sirknight its ok now my resoultion is fixed [13:35] mbroeker: hey, I just fixed my connection by editing the entry in /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state to "WirelessEnabled=true" [13:35] ballyhoo_, but I think you should try Ubuntu Studio instead. It's focused on img/video editing [13:35] newuser123 wel fix your tv [13:35] now it works [13:36] mbroeker: thank you [13:36] neweruser123: ahh, us keyboard layout vs uk? [13:36] stefg,i added to friend list :) [13:36] thint510: any resolution to that. problem is same with both ubntu 12.04 and 11.04 [13:36] yes its a UK keyboard but the layout is not familiar [13:36] sirknight, by the way can you link/give few keywords on what the up arrow does ? I hear first time [13:36] imetallica: I'll have a look at that one. Sounds more my thing.

[13:40] so my speakers dont play it out [13:41] neweruser123: kubuntu uses kde [13:41] head phones work fine [13:41] ActionParsnip, short story. old laptop, nobody will fix this issue, the workaround is just fine :) [13:41] What is KDE? a different interface or different OS ?

[14:07] laggy sorry [14:07] gustyaquino: here is a nice stylesheet for chatzilla http://paste.ubuntu.com/969191/ . download, rename to chatzilla.css and drag taht onto the chatzilla window [14:07] hey stefg i ask you very politely: "Can i PM you?" hope you won't mind [14:07] what do you need help ? [14:08] hi guys, I used pysdm to configure the mount of my partitions. There it says that file can be executed and fstab tells me that it should be mounted "users, user".. |mount| tells me that /dev/sda7 is mounted noexec though. How can I fix that? [14:08] `prixon: this is just a support channel [14:08] I need to get nvidia 295.49 installed on ubuntu 12.04 and I wonder if there is any other way than manually installing [14:08] how could I get HDMI audio working without having to reboot system [14:08] virpara: keep it in the channel, so other users can follow [14:08] I've selected HDMI from sound settings, but it only works after I reboot with TV on [14:09] the ubuntu install window has froze and i cant close it [14:09] stefg did you read my pm? [14:09] <`prixon> ok ThinkT510, (I'm own an x220 and) lately (I bought it two weeks ago) it seems like that fan spins out of control when I'm not doing anything in particular. it gets to around 3500 rpm. both in windows and in a live-usb ubuntu 12.04. has anyone experienced this kind of problem? [14:10] <`prixon> *I own [14:10] stefg: error downloading: OpenID failed [14:10] will try just to copy and paste.. [14:11] `prixon: sounds like a overheat issue [14:11] gustyaquino: i see ... so just make a new text document and copy and paste by hand .... it's just ascii anyway [14:11] <`prixon> what could be the cause for it? [14:11] Varsuchi: Any ideas? [14:12] gustyaquino: and it's just a nice theme... you don't need it, chatzilla has built-in themes as well. [14:12] andrew: have you checked your boot sequence and made sure that your cdrom is set as first boot device? [14:13] not your hard drive [14:13] `prixon: many things, sometimes the heatsink or just the cpu being utilised too much [14:13] Sorry for asking a dumb question but how would I do that?lol [14:13] <`prixon> so I'm stuck with a bad laptop? is that what you're saying? [14:13] `prixon: if you aren't overheating at all it could simply be a firmware glitch that kicks your fan into full speed [14:14] `prixon: that happened to me when the goop that holds the fan unit to cpu dried out and they seperated. [14:14] stefg: yes it is.. [14:14] virpara: for info on how to mount partitions permanently read the !fstab factoid, along with !ntfs [14:14] Is there a way in linux to exit a hung application in fullscreen? e.g. when I develop an SDL app and forget to add a way to... well... quit :) [14:15] `prixon: since you say it happens in windows and ubuntu i would guess it is an overheating issue [14:15] lousygarua: bind a hotkey for 'xkill' [14:15] lousygarua: ps aux | grep name_of_hung_app and then kill PID_of_app [14:15] lousygarua: ctrl-alt-F1 , login, killall [14:16] stefg okay [14:16] I had no problem setting up Ubuntu on my Vaio and on my HP Pc, but this Toshiba has always been a pain in the ass. I bought it in Canada but any time I needed drivers and what not. I had to go to the Ausie sony site. Its a M70 [14:17] andrew: go into your bios setup, usually del or f1 on POST [14:17] find boot sequence [14:17] or boot order or something like that [14:17] Hi there, I have some problems. I have updated my ubuntu to 12.04 and now my keyboard shortcuts doesn't work. For example, I can't change between windows doing "alt+tab". [14:18] And I want to make sure its booting disk first in the order? [14:18] no [14:18] you want it to boot cdrom first [14:18] if you boot hard disk first its going to go to windows [14:18] could someone please tell me what the apt file appName.list.distUpgrade does, it is stored inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d [14:18] Ok and this will be a way to install it in place of windows? [14:19] laite: didn't know about that. should the hotkey need be binded on the x server level? or is it sufficient to do that through the regular gnome hotkeys? [14:19] this will let you boot to your ubuntu cd and install ubuntu [14:19] Is there a specific desktop channel? === marcin82 is now known as Darth_Linux [14:19] !distupgrade | ResQue [14:19] ResQue: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed.

Im just new to Ubuntu but its the best OS Ive used [14:20] IdleOne: from an ctrl+alt+f1 terminal you mean, right? [14:20] andrew: no problem. [14:21] Resque: do-release-upgrade also upgrades the OS. [14:21] ThinkT510, Ok. Anyone know if there are any plans to package a newer GDM than 3.0.4? [14:21] lousygarua: in previous versions the nvidia-driver tended to break the tty's with plymouth. As far as i can tell it works now with 12.04 [14:21] rogz: not sure, ubuntu uses lightdm by default now [14:21] in a specific PPA for example the Gnome3 PPA [14:21] lousygarua: I guess it depends on how much stuck you are planning to get your system =D For me, setting it in xfce keybindings has been enough [14:21] i have a question about irc [14:21] Varsuchi, Yes, mis-leading; I've said that for a long time. [14:21] My keyboard shortcuts doesn't work, what should I need to reinstall Ibus? [14:21] ThinkT510, yeah I know, I liked GDM better [14:22] I have 3 drives in a software Raid 5 setup with mdadm. I've been having trouble on Ubuntu 12.04 with what looks like a race condition trying to assemble before the drives are ready. I've been doing a lot of reboots to diagnose, and now when I boot up, the drives are starting up in degraded mode (2 of 3 working). All 3 drives have healthy SMART data. Disk utility says the raid is "clean, degraded". The drives seemed fine on 11.10. [14:22] Is it likely that the drive has actually happened to die, or is it possible some configuration is wrong? [14:22] as long as I can switch there is no problem, but a more recent version would be better ;) [14:22] i am new to this program (xchat) and irc in general, so i was wondering if anyone can tell me how to change chennels [14:22] *channels [14:22] rogz: its not likely to change in the precise repo [14:23] laite: alright :) thanks, though i might try getting to ctrl+alt+f1 before, stefg suggested that it works now on 12.04 [14:23] !latest [14:23] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.

The Gnome3 PPA pointed in this direction so I though I'd ask here [14:24] rogz: no doubt 12.10 will have a more recent one [14:24] Most other Gnome3 packages are 3.4 versions but for some reason GDM is not amongst them.

[14:25] coldlogic, My pleasure. :) [14:25] Sidewinder: maybe you also know the answer, is this correct that a list.distupgrade file would have a reference to an old distro. natty in my case, even though i am using oneiric [14:26] superlou: what does 'cat /proc/mdstat' say? if the array is rebuilding for some reason it might say 'degraded' as long as the rebuild isn't complete === Darth_Linux is now known as marcin82 [14:26] ResQue, I'm not sure about that one, sorry. :( [14:26] Sidewinder: thanks [14:26] NP [14:27] Could anyone please provide me with some more information on /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and how i can make sure the values in there are correct [14:28] !apt | ResQue [14:28] ResQue: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[14:42] my sensors are not working on ubuntu [14:42] stefg, sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 leads to mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 2 drives (out of 3). [14:42] alexxio: there is also #bash to ask in [14:42] jwtiyar: i can't make much of it, i'd need to see the output from apt-get when trying to install the same package. but it seems that crossplatformui is incompatible with the package you're trying to install. [14:42] Seems like the same result [14:42] how do i make them work .. it says no sensors found! i tried the method of detecting but no outcome [14:42] ThinkT510: thanks [14:43] alexxio, You need a space char after [ and before ] [14:43] alexxio: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html [14:43] REK_007: have you installed lm-sensors, and does "sensors" from terminal give any output?

[14:45] REK_007: with 10.04 that's very likely [14:45] jwtiyar: that can be a big problem. you need to find the postrm file for the package in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ and debug it. it should be called /var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm [14:45] jwtiyar: pastebin it perhaps, so i'll have a look and see if i can spot what's wrong with it [14:46] LjL, paste cross... .postrm to you?

[14:47] cookiemon5ter: you can dd it - though the hybrid images are intended to use cat... [14:47] jwtiyar: yes, but on the pastebin please [14:47] LjL, ok iknow [14:47] zykotic10: cat? [14:47] cookiemon5ter: also, there is usb-creator-gtk [14:47] superlou: probably yes. look into /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and check that the partition UUIDs fit [14:47] bye stef [14:47] LjL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/969281/ [14:48] I just upgraded to 12.04 and am playing with the compiz Grid Plugin.

I have updated my ubuntu to 12.04 and now my keyboard shortcuts doesn't work. For example, I can't change between windows doing "alt+tab". It is really a mess and I didn't find how to fix it. What should I reinstall ? Is is Ibus or what is it? [14:50] zykotic10: one more question, should i delete any partitions on the drive and create a new one ?

When does that error occur? [15:25] gaelfx: i have 3G ram and i am getting this error at bootup [15:25] ubuntu_: what does memtest say? [15:26] http://i.imgur.com/UzjpB.pngThinkT510 [15:26] that is the screen [15:26] Ztane, thanks [15:26] stefg, true that.

I'm going to step away and let recovery do it's thing before i'm tempted to do something stupid [15:26] StevenR: at bootup and memtest is giving the same error msg [15:26] MilanFIN: front mi is muted [15:26] mi = ? [15:26] intore: or if it has errors, then fsck /dev/yourrootdevice first [15:26] ubuntu_: what do you mean? [15:27] Ztane, on ubuntu 10.04 was not like that [15:27] I cant even choose my sound card [15:27] ubuntu_: maybe you have some bad RAM slots [15:27] MilanFIN: also there is arrows on the right, can you see more bars when you go right? [15:27] intore: it depends... [15:27] ye [15:27] gaelfx: i replaced my ram still no luck [15:27] but that is not the ASUS sound card [15:27] MilanFIN: what do they show? [15:28] ubuntu_: try with just one dimm? [15:28] ubuntu_: yeah, that's why I said slots. Perhaps the slots for RAM have gone bad [15:28] ubuntu_: try a different slot? (could just be the "first" slot is bad) [15:28] ThinkT510 what does it matter if that card is my INTEGRATED one [15:28] not the ASUS [15:28] StevenR:i tried that just plugged the 2G ram in master slot and no slave still it's not working [15:28] Ztane, by the configuration? [15:29] MilanFIN: the first screen always shows the card that is in use [15:29] yes [15:29] and that is not asus? [15:29] ubuntu_: don't use the master slot?

[15:30] intore: well yes, and ofc the conditions why did you drop into the rescude mode [15:30] ye [15:31] hmm [15:31] StevenR: no it's not ram i think because when i pulled off my hdd it's woring fine through live cd [15:31] Dratono: tried changing text rendering options? [15:31] ThinkT510 here http://i.imgur.com/x38vl.png [15:31] StevenR: then it's HDD but why ??? [15:31] ubuntu_: have you tried a different drive? [15:31] nope, subpixel hinting still looks like sh*t in the top [15:31] ubuntu_, Either bad ram or wrong type of ram? [15:31] *bar [15:31] ActionParsnip: there is no way of changing any text rendering options easily anymore :S [15:32] I think you dont see that the options of the card we are looking at the moment are not the ones of the asus card [15:32] * alankila waits for the day when linux will do subpixel hinting rendering properly. I think it's going to require an opengl shader to do, if people insist on hardware-accelerated compositing though. [15:32] ActionParsnip: the text is blurry with green and red mixed in, it's like someone took subpixel rendering and made it backwards [15:32] StevenR: i dnt have one right now [15:32] MilanFIN: hmm, not sure what spdif d is but that is muted [15:32] ubuntu_: it's possibly a software fault. Are you able to reinstall? Or possibly the whole motherboard is bad, or there could be some other psu/cpu problem. [15:32] becouse I cant even see the card from alsamixer [15:32] StevenR: what is the worst thing possible [15:33] ubuntu_: I don't understand your question? [15:33] Dratono: is the text blurred everywhere, or just the top bar in unity; mine looks ok everywhere else except the menu bar; the menu bar is as if someone had soaked it in water [15:33] MilanFIN: see the MM's in the bars? press m on those to unmute them [15:33] StevenR: i am using my system without HDD in live session [15:33] ubuntu_: so? [15:33] but that is wrong CARD [15:33] Dratono: if you search dash for the word: font does anything show? [15:34] MilanFIN: i prefer to keep it in channel please [15:34] StevenR: do i have to replace my HDD then [15:34] ztane: yeah, only place with text when I just started ubuntu so, but I fixed it by changing the background [15:34] ubuntu_: try reinstalling [15:34] hi. I recently upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04. After upgrading, the "hibernate" option has dissappeared... Does anyone know a fix for that? [15:34] I need to make my alsamixer see my asus xonar card [15:34] MilanFIN: i don't know how to do that [15:34] alankila: you ought to say: "waits for the day when linux will do subpixel hinting rendering work properly AGAIN" [15:34] ok [15:35] where is sources.list? [15:35] StevenR: with HDD in the system i am getting the same error msg whenever i am trying to reinstall on boot into live mode [15:35] gaelfx: /etc/apt [15:35] MilanFIN: maybe the driver just isn't there for 10.04 (are you using 10.04?) [15:36] Ztane: it never did work, imo, so... [15:36] oCean: thanks :D [15:36] StevenR: without HDD it's working fine in live mode [15:36] ubuntu_: what version of ubuntu? [15:36] I am using 10.04 [15:36] alankila: it did work for me for 2+ years :D [15:36] StevenR: 12.04 64 bit [15:36] but updating alsamixer should do it [15:36] The problem is more complex than people appreciate, and consequently everything ever rendered by linux software comes out slightly color fringed [15:36] you just get used to it and don't pay attention to it anymore [15:36] minas: first check that /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume has the UUID for your swap partition (get that by sudo blkid) [15:36] MilanFIN: maybe [15:36] ubuntu_: try 10.04 [15:37] ubuntu_: if that doesn't work, it looks like you have either a motherboard or HDD fault. [15:37] MilanFIN: i'd get 12.04 if i were you, its suprisingly good [15:37] http://bel.fi/~alankila/lcd/lcd.png is linux and windows 7 rendering almost the same thing side by side, the bottom left result is the typical linux result [15:37] I will soon rip unity off my computer, and replace it with kde, for good.

[15:42] Ztane: sure, that's part of it. But it also needs to know the color space of your monitor, and it needs to do per-component alpha blending [15:43] the color space conversions and per-component alphas are currently just ignored.

[15:45] eutheria: if the theme is dark... [15:47] the reason why i ask, when i installed ubuntu i only did a console based system, i then added the cinnamon ppa and installed that be default, but i don't like any of the gtk3 themes, they all have some quirk that irritates me [15:47] so i figured i would use the default ubuntu gtk/icon themes [15:50] eutheria: depends on the distro really.

[16:11] laucher* [16:11] !schedule | sandertje [16:11] ActionParsnip: i anyway did that reset thing, no effect. nothing in the panel except those two [16:11] sandertje: The Ubuntu Precise Pangolin release schedule can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [16:11] jrib: no packages found matching texlive-base [16:11] deamosreapos: OK, that sounds good, so time to think about why the video driver does what it does. I suspect its an issue with grub's GFX (graphics) mode conflicting with how the hardware wants to be configured [16:11] coolpro: moving the icons is simple drag and drop [16:12] deamosreapos: You could try reconfiguring GRUB to use text-mode [16:12] any latex guy? [16:12] lol [16:12] ThinkT510, nope, i'm talking about parameter under display settings (displays) [16:12] jrib: no packages found matching texlive-base [16:12] sazawal: dirty talk, ha? [16:12] IntuitiveNipple so instead of a graphically boot it gives me just text? [16:12] CaBa_: please move on [16:13] CaBa_, no caba [16:13] IntuitiveNipple: I found a solution that works in my scenario, but it's not a good overall one [16:13] rabbi1: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list* [16:13] deamosreapos: Yes. You'd edit /etc/default/grub and uncomment the line "GRUB_TERMINAL=console", then do sudo update-grub [16:13] sazawal: whats your problem? [16:13] ActionParsnip: FYI, this is how the session looks like: http://photomics.org/nc18347y.png [16:13] CaBa_, I want to add a large matrix in two lines, how to do it? [16:13] Trel: it is an unusual requirement [16:13] sazawal: what do you mean by "add in two lines"? [16:14] CaBa_, it couldnt be accomodated in one line [16:14] zykotic10: ah ok. Why is that actually? Does that mean the 12.04 version as it is isn't actually fully ready? [16:14] jrib: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/969477/ ----- sources.list [16:14] CaBa_, I have already used {smallmatrix} still not coming [16:14] rabbi1: run « sudo apt-get update » any errors?

[16:15] rabbi1: [16:15] rabbi1: wait, why sources.list.save? And not sources.list? [16:15] sazawal: well at some point you just won't wanna use inline math but make it an equation [16:15] ThinkT510, i changed Laucher Placement to None, and i can't see any view [16:15] sandertje: it's assumed LTS users want a stable system, but ubuntu releases aren't exactly "tested" very well prior to release - so some real-world testing is typically required. Thus the delay for LTS users. [16:15] rabbi1: never mind, I got confused. I see you pasted both now [16:15] jrib: had both, so thought both and sent [16:16] coolpro: oh, sorry, i've never messed with that [16:16] CaBa_, I am using begin{equation} [16:16] rabbi1: he joys of having a small terminal window ;) [16:16] the [16:16] sazawal: can you paste the code in question somewhere? [16:16] CaBa_, actually the problem is when I place half of the columns in one line I dont want to add a right bracket [16:16] <_skpl> how do i install flash in ubuntu 12.04? [16:17] CaBa_, and in the next line I dont want to add left bracket [16:17] Is there any way to access Display settings and change them using commands?

[16:17] CaBa_, it is giving error that I have to add both the brackets [16:17] sazawal: can you paste an example that compiles and express what you'd like to change about it? [16:17] what Ubuntu is best for a netbook? [16:17] zykotic10: ah, thnx. I guess I'll have to wait till July then. [16:17] I have a Broadcom 4313 b/g/n wireless card and I'm using the STA drivers, but the connection I'm getting is only 65mbps, it should be able to connect at at least 150mbps though, as I have a router set for 300mbps connections, is there anything I can do to get my wireless connection faster? [16:17] coolpro: can you bring up the hud or dash? [16:17] deamosreapos: one step at a time. Do the GRUB change, reboot, check its OK. Then install the proprietary drivers, reboot, test. [16:17] Marzata: depends on the netbook [16:17] sazawal: well if you use \left, you have to use \right. but you can use a dummy-\right [16:18] sandertje: you don't "have to" - you can choose to update now if you wish [16:18] IntuitiveNipple will do so then brb [16:18] IntuitiveNipple: that wasn't a requirement. My problem is I have two shares with different credentials. Windows caches the credentials from the first one I login to preventing me from accessing the second. [16:18] rabbi1: ok, anything interesting from « sudo apt-get update »? (I know I started talking about something else since asking you to do that) [16:18] Marzata: what machine are we actually talking about here? [16:18] CaBa_, how to use the dummy \right? [16:18] jrib: no errors, but stuck at 99%. this google stable shit [16:18] sazawal: \left(blabla\right. [16:18] sazawal, \right. [16:18] sazawal: mind the period === JMatthewman is now known as MoleMan [16:18] ThinkkT510: What is the hund or hash? [16:18] Trel: I seem to vaguely recall there is a Windows registry key you can alter to stop that credential caching [16:18] CaBa_, \right with the dot? [16:18] rabbi1: you probably have more repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [16:18] sazawal: yep [16:18] gaelfx: lenovo s10-2, 2 GB ram, [16:18] jrib: no erros,.... done [16:18] coolpro: dash = super key, hud = alt key [16:19] rabbi1: try again: dpkg -l texlive-base [16:19] CaBa_, I have tried it ..... but let me try again with \right space dot [16:19] no space [16:19] IntuitiveNipple: if you come across it let me know, but the only thing I found is using net use * /delete and net use /persistent:no each time I need to switch, which of course prevents me from mapping a drive [16:19] hello... i am having a weird problem trying to install ubuntu [16:19] apt-get install gitosis package not exist on ubuntu server 12.04 ? [16:19] jrib: no packages found :( [16:19] mmc_: plz be specific [16:19] CaBa_, not working with or without space [16:19] that -l or -1 ? [16:20] ThinkT510: still not getting what you mean. I can't see any view on my primary user anymore, after I change Laucher Placement to None. I can't only see view on Guess session. [16:20] rabbi1: what does « uname -m » return? [16:20] jrib: i mean "el" or "one" ? [16:20] Marzata: that's a 10-incher with 1024x600 resolution, correct? [16:20] i can* [16:20] rabbi1: el [16:20] ok, i'll try... when i boot the install cd, i get.... a garbled screen [16:20] sazawal: well sorry, but without code i can't help you [16:20] the very first thing i get, is a garbled screen [16:20] gaelfx: yes [16:20] Marzata: and an N570 processor? [16:20] jrib: x86_64 [16:20] ActionParsnip: so any clue what might be wrong? [16:20] CaBa_, can you come in private so that I can send you the code? [16:20] jrib: i got AMD [16:20] sazawal: just paste it to a paste site [16:21] Trel: try this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-logon-windows-no-domain/ [16:21] sazawal: such as pastebin.com [16:21] mmc_: which ver are you using? [16:21] rabbi1: essentially your postinst script is failing because it can't find the texlive-base package. And your dpkg can't find it either despite the fact that it should be available (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=texlive-base&searchon=names&suite=lucid§ion=all) [16:21] CaBa_, okay [16:21] vuongdothanhhuy: any version....

I personally think that lubuntu will work best on that, however, you might want to use plain old ubuntu on it and then install lubuntu-desktop just to try it out [16:23] vuongdothanhhuy: x86_64 [16:23] I've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys [16:23] mmc_: oops! sound strange [16:23] rabbi1: if you can pastebin the output from « sudo apt-get update » that may help as well [16:23] outy [16:23] ThinkT510: just monitor indicator led blinking. === OutLander is now known as Guest96451 [16:24] coolpro: i have an idea but it is a little convoluted [16:24] jrib: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/969510/ --- -sources.list.d [16:24] Going to a real console , and pressing multimedia keys does not show any output ! [16:24] saludos [16:24] ThinkT510, what is that idea? [16:25] vuongdothanhhuy: did u look at my screenshot? [16:25] coolpro: make a backup of your home folder then delete the folder and try logging in again, then restore what you need from the backup [16:25] jrib: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/969514/ [16:25] jrib: ^ update [16:25] yes, I did [16:25] sazawal: stand by [16:25] mmc_: that looks like a video adapter/driver bug, I used to see those alot but not recently. The usual workaround is to edit the boot menu of the installer to set a specific known-good video mode, or not to allow the Linux kernel to use internal mode-setting (nomodeset) [16:25] coolpro: that should regenerate the home folder with default settings (like your guest account default settings) [16:25] I'm not a professional about Ubuntu, but I guess it's a problem about the VGA driver. Did you try the earlier one, like 9 8 or even 6 version? which use older different kernel source? [16:25] tengo una duda estoy instalndo xubuntu y quiero instalar mysqladministrator, no lo concigo en el centro de software que hago ? [16:25] rabbi1: pastebin this too (you'll probably get an error): apt-cache policy texlive-base [16:26] ThinkT510: I can't access my home folder or anything. I can only login to Guess session.

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro.

[16:26] Marzata: lubuntu :) [16:26] I just simply need to edit the settings with command line. how do I do that? [16:26] Marzata: lubuntu is probably best, but server+openbox is a very fun idea :D [16:27] vuongdothanhhuy: is it possible to change the boot options on the iso before i burn it? b/c i cant pass any arguments to the boot while it's booting [16:27] coolpro: may need to use either the recovery mode to get a root terminal or a livecd/usb [16:27] jrib: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/969517/ [16:27] rabbi1: what's the output of: grep main /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* [16:27] ActionParsnip: gaelfx: lubuntu doesn't have LTS?

[16:28] Marzata: the packages in the LTS are the same, so you will get updates [16:28] Thinkt510: I can login to my primary user using SSH. [16:28] coolpro: good idea, that would work [16:28] jrib: no packages found matching texlive-base [16:28] sazawal: compiles just fine for me [16:28] ActionParsnip: gaelfx: but not for the desktop? [16:28] rabbi1: wha... [16:28] <_skpl> can someone help me? i just installed flash from the software center but i cant play flash movies on the web [16:28] sazawal: did you include the amsmath package? [16:28] ThinkT510: My question, how to change those settings using terminal? [16:28] rabbi1: oh wait that makes sense I guess [16:28] <_skpl> it says i need and upgrade [16:28] coolpro: no idea sorry [16:28] CaBa, yes i did :( [16:28] rabbi1: what does « dpkg --configure -a » do now? Still error out? [16:29] mmc_: yeah, try that solution first [16:29] CaBa, you mean with \right. it is compiling? [16:29] Sna4x8, it looks like www-data is on there the most. Thanks [16:29] IntuitiveNipple: i have seen all of those suggestions... but i can't see the screen to follow the instructions [16:29] pmp6nl: That's the one. [16:29] coolpro: but if you were to do what i suggested through ssh then that would restore default settings [16:29] Sna4x8, Thanks! [16:29] np [16:29] vuongdothanhhuy: IntuitiveNipple: it is garbled as soon as my bios screen is gone [16:29] sazawal: http://pastebin.com/HAeUjVqV <= this is what i compiled, and it works just fine [16:29] mmc_: yes, I think there is a way to change it, lived CD use ISOlinux bootloader to load, just edit the file settings. [16:29] jrib: yeah, same errors [16:30] coolpro: it is rather convoluted but the only thing i can think of [16:30] CaBa, ohh let me see again [16:30] rabbi1: sudo apt-get install texlive-base [16:30] coolpro: sorry i'm rather useless [16:31] anyone on the "where are all my gnome-panel items" issue? :P [16:31] jrib: is chrome messing up something ?

[16:31] When I start 12.04: 1) aptd crashes. 2) colord crashes. 3) I get an error saying "Could not grab your mouse." [16:31] rabbi1: no, this is probably a bug in the .postinst script [16:31] Of the three, I really care about 3 since I can't click anything! Any help? [16:32] Thinkt510: it's fine. I am wondering why noone else is replying in such easy question as display settings. [16:32] hello, what is the latest kernel in ubuntu? [16:32] i cannot even right click the menu...

[16:36] how can i find out which repo an application was installed from [16:36] jrib: following the font --unset procedure will do ? [16:37] Greetings Earthlings. I have become increasingly concerned about security/privacy; was using secure-delete 'sfill' to overwrite all free space - but this takes days, at least on this laptop. Any suggestions for something faster and as good? [16:37] vuongdothanhhuy: thanks... i will try that [16:37] gaelfx, i upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 [16:37] or even a package i find using apt-cache search [16:37] ResQue: apt-cache policy [16:37] IntuitiveNipple: thanks [16:37] gmachine_24: tesla coil [16:37] gmachine_24, use an encrypted filesystem [16:37] mmc_: if possible, try the old ones, like 6.06, 7.04, 8.04 or 9.04 ve [16:37] gmachine_24, or an oven [16:37] r [16:37] Is there a way to increase the size of system fonts and graphics in 12.04? I have a 1920x1080 15" laptop and sometimes it is just too small. I love the resolution for full 1080p video but not so much for text and I always find myself scaling webpages up so I can read them. Would be nice if I could set something similar to what Win 7 has to make every thing 25% larger. [16:37] mmc_: maybe the old kernel works, but the new doesnot [16:38] gaelfx, will check it out [16:38] elijah, you need to adjust the dpi [16:38] what a shame, I just realized Empathy supports IRC [16:38] tesla coils are to hard drives as pvc is to spuds [16:38] IntuitiveNipple: will turning of caching completely remove the ability to have a mapped drive? [16:38] can anyone tell me if Empathy has a shortcut for addressing people? [16:38] derekchiang: supports is stretching it [16:38] escott, actually, that is what I'm moving to - I am creating an encrypted area on the hard drives of my comps - but want to wipe everything clean first. [16:38] Trel: I don't know the answer to that. I think you'll have to test it [16:39] derekchiang: Empathy's "IRC" is a travesty and a great example of how not to write an irc client [16:39] escott, I suppose I could create the encrypted partition first and then wipe the rest - that would save time. [16:39] gmachine_24, there isn't anything else you can do. you just have to write it all out with random data multiple times [16:39] gaelfx, you serious? [16:39] derekchiang: at any rate, irssi is much much better in so many ways [16:39] gaelfx: good think empathy isn't an irc client but an im client then ;) [16:39] gaelfx, it looks good, at least [16:39] escott, agreed. I was just hoping for something a little faster. [16:39] jrib: anyway thanks :) have a nice day.... will try out [16:39] gmachine_24, but if you just add an encrypted partition there will be areas of the encrypted partition which are never used and plaintext can be recovered from those areas [16:39] rabbi1: no problem, have a nice day [16:40] gmachine_24: Best thing is to randomise the surface of the drive first. I did by first creating a randomised 512MB binary in a tmpfs (RAM backed) file-system then wrote it to the hard disk using a while loop and dd if=randomfile.dat of=/dev/sdz [16:40] elijah, the gnome-tweak-tool apparently allows dpi changes http://askubuntu.com/questions/66224/how-to-change-the-screen-dpi-in-11-10 [16:40] derekchiang: people don't usually use irc if they care about how it looks ;) [16:40] gaelfx: hey I just realize Tab is the shortcut for addressing people [16:40] escott, again, agreed - but that's if someone can break the encryption [16:40] gaelfx: good thought [16:40] ubuntu server iso 12.04 mirrors' list url? [16:40] gmachine_24: The advantage of using a 512MB file is that its much master than dd if=/dev/urandom [16:40] zykotic10: that's debatable :P === IamKaiser is now known as di_di_di_Drogba [16:40] (it being a good thing I mean) [16:41] gmachine_24, no. the encrypted partition will leave gaps which are not used (the same way any other filesystem partition will be) so you see a cipherblock and then an unallocated block which might contain plaintext from a previous fs [16:41] gaelfx: last thing: Empathy and Pidgin, which one is better? [16:41] derekchiang: better for what? [16:41] gaelfx: I'm kinda new to Ubuntu [16:41] escott, ah, OK, thanks. Good point. [16:41] derekchiang: Yellow or Blue, which one is better? [16:41] ThinkT510: better for... chat in general [16:42] derekchiang: depends what you're trying to do. Pidgin has no real voice/video support, though it's been "in the works" for a few years now [16:42] gmachine_24, so you have to write to every single byte [16:42] gmachine_24: That's why we always write random data to the entire disk/partition first [16:42] escott, got it. [16:42] IntuitiveNipple, so I should do this before installing the os? [16:42] derekchiang: if you want a good irc client, use an irc client (rather than an im client) [16:43] gmachine_24: It's easier - you can do it from the live CD for example [16:43] ThinkT510: +1 [16:43] derekchiang: Empathy is generally fine for most IM usage [16:43] derekchiang: Pidgin's development seems to have hit a brick wall as of late [16:43] ThinkT510: I used XChat usually. although all I need is typing [16:43] IntuitiveNipple, any reason I can't back up my current system into a tar file and then reinstall after the wipe? I suppose that will rewrite all the stuff I am trying to overwrite. [16:44] My Super key is not bringing up the activities in Gnome [12.04 LTS] [16:44] Is this a known issue? [16:44] alusion: did you check the hotkey assignments? [16:45] How do I quickly access that? [16:45] alusion: in system settings->keyboard I believe [16:45] alusion: hold down super [16:45] alusion: also, are you using gnome-shell or unity? (if you don't know, it's probably unity) [16:46] gnome-shell [16:46] oh [16:46] when i try to boot my ubuntu i just end up in a tty 1 terminal window login. i check tty 7 and it is stuck in checking battery state [16:46] no x is starting [16:46] any ideas? [16:47] alusion: did you find the hotkey settings? [16:47] and i try to restart gdm from tty 1 then everything just hangs [16:47] yes and under system I should be looking at "Show the activities overview" correct? [16:47] alusion: sounds right to me [16:47] It won't let me to change the shorcut to the super key [16:47] gmachine_24: If you can shuffle some existing space around to free up some... you could then use LVMs and just move the data and files around [16:47] IntuitiveNipple, is there anywhere this process is spelled out step-by-step? You guys are over my head here about this. [16:48] alusion: does it seem to give any reason? or is it just greyed out? [16:48] Nope it just won't allow, I think this problem started when I installed Cairo dock? [16:48] gmachine_24: I think I wrote a couple articles about it a long time back... let me check [16:49] alusion: egad. hang on, bbs [16:49] IntuitiveNipple, TYVM [16:49] o.o [16:50] no one know? [16:50] am i the only one that thinks that the bar at the top would look amazing if it kept the look it has while the HUD is in use all the time? [16:50] is there a way to set this? [16:50] gmachine_24: .... here's three I wrote. They were for Hardy but I still use the same procedures to do it now, albeit some steps are now taken care of automatically by the system...

For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [16:52] IntuitiveNipple, good, I needed more bathromm reading material. ;) [16:52] LgL_: First stop is to check the log files in /var/log/ , see which are most recently updated (ls -lstr) and check them out using: less /var/log/ and page up down [16:52] gmachine_24: :p [16:52] :D kidding [16:53] gmachine_24: Start with http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/InstallToMultipleLVMsArbitraryEncryption [16:53] is there an easy way to update the hosts file with my dynamic address [16:53] gmachine_24: Because that talks about encrypting individual LVM volumes not the entire drive [16:53] my system worked fine till just one day it just stopped working. i did not do anything special :( [16:54] LgL_: added any ppas? [16:54] What's wrong with 12.04 displaying? [16:54] hmmmm yhea.. some theme from webupd8 [16:54] i think [16:54] but i never installed it [16:54] IntuitiveNipple, yeah, that much I got on my own. But thanks. [16:55] and some gnome ppas [16:55] 12.04 isn't even working properly on YouTube full screen displaying... [16:55] LgL_: and you didn't do anything special? haha [16:55] Hey, somethings weird with the nvidia drivers on my system [16:55] ;) [16:55] Specifically I have a bunch of files in /usr/lib that are version 260.19.44 but aren't part of any package [16:56] hello, the videos in my computer look very blue. How can I reset the settings so that the color will go back to the default settings? [16:56] but it worked fine work like one week.. then this just hepped out of the blue [16:56] If I install nvidia-current I get 260.19.06, but the kernel module is still version 44, so there's an api mismatch and X can't start [16:56] LgL_: probably because of an update [16:56] LgL_: the ppa likely conflicted [16:56] How can I get the module version in sync with the files in /usr/lib? [16:56] i delete a PPA and delete the software installed from it, but now when i try to install the software again by downloading the pidgin-ppa.deb file from there website. the option in software center to install is grayed out.

[16:58] Yoshimi-pink: Ah, you obviously were very much aware that you asked in the wrong place, eh?! [16:59] no [16:59] no im not [16:59] ThinkT510: first i delete it using software-source GUI, then i delete the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ then i removed the keys with apt-keys -r [16:59] i've gotten no information on the subject that i honestly dont know where to ask cause everyone is telling me to go somewhere else [16:59] !checkinstall | Yoshimi-pink [16:59] Yoshimi-pink: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

[17:00] me and unity are not bestfriends [17:00] thank you think [17:00] ;) [17:00] Yoshimi-pink: I have also given you plenty of information in #debian on irc.oftc.net about packaging *for Ubuntu* [17:00] anyone tryed the remix ver?

I'm still scratching my head; with all due respect, of course. :-) [17:03] user__: check flash settings, the fix is to do with hardware accelleration [17:03] user__, fullscreen flash and disable hardware acceleration [17:03] ResQue: That PPA file probably has dependencies on OTHER library .deb files which you need also [17:03] bazhang, ThinkT510 how can I do that? [17:03] Sidewinder: It might be helloworld.c ! [17:04] Sidewinder: Likewise, but I am not going to question that further.

[17:17] ActionParsnip, /boto/grub/grub.conf is great for temporary edits [17:17] smw: any idea? [17:17] ActionParsnip, even if it is overridden when a new kernel is installed [17:17] smw: maybe but for permanent edits you should edit it in the correct way [17:18] ActionParsnip, I agree [17:18] smw: yes, should be able to anyway... I've gotten into it before but can't now for some reason [17:18] smw: good habits and all that ;) [17:18] i dont know [17:18] D4mian: wireless or wired?

[17:19] smw: haha wrong syntax ;) [17:19] 'prixon, usually some people wait for 12.04.1 [17:20] `prixon: well, 10.04 to 12.04 upgrades usually start after the first .1 release [17:20] I have a Dell Inspiron 910 and it's showing me the unmountable boot volume error.

[17:20] I've tried booting via USB and it's not showing the partition, is the SSD dead?

[17:20] jamiem93: hmm, doesn't sound great [17:20] walidvb_, as for your problem, "cpu health" does not make sense [17:20] You think the SSD is dead? [17:20] chandan: so accessing files to edit them? [17:21] <`prixon> and then they will upload a new edition to the ubuntu site? [17:21] smw: i thought it wasn't really the right term [17:21] `prixon: yes [17:21] bus still not working, look if a make a iwconfing, say point: not-associates and the tx-power= of [17:21] f [17:21] why ? [17:21] jamiem93: i've not used SSD so not aware of the finer points of them [17:21] smw: but i still need to check if it's still fully operationnal [17:21] ActionParsnip, may be... shall we talk about resovling the installation issue ? [17:21] Most netbooks use SSD. [17:21] I'm physically not able to boot anything. [17:21] chandan: if thats all you need, you can install openssh-server and get an SFTP server you can mount using nautilus on a client machine, no need for teamviewer [17:21] i migated to ubuntu from mint, because heard of that the first one is better for mobile computers, and it is indeed, my laptop is not so warm now [17:21] walidvb_, cpus tend not to break partially [17:22] salut [17:22] I can run a distro using a USB but I can't install onto the partition. [17:22] walidvb_, if your computer boots, your cpu is probably fine [17:22] It doesn't exist. [17:22] walidvb_, (the same can not be said of ram which is why we have memtest) [17:22] i make a wlan0 up and the system say: imposible becouse de frecunsy is desactivated [17:22] jamiem93: could use testdisk to reform the partitions if you know the size I guess [17:22] smw: hm ok... so where would you look for the problem? [17:22] ActionParsnip, good alternative, thanks :) [17:22] smw: i'll try that [17:22] I'vI haven't thought about that. [17:22] <`prixon> I have a new laptop and I can't decide whether to wait for this release or part the drive already, cause I don't want to make the drive all messy before I install ubuntu [17:22] chandan: faster too, by a LOT [17:23] Can that boot via USB? [17:23] <`prixon> what would you recommend? [17:23] walidvb_, nothing in your computer can break making it run slower [17:23] ActionParsnip, but again.. I am curious to install teamviewer... [17:23] walidvb_, at least, not in commercial setups [17:23] All I can get to is the windows loading screen, then it just hangs. [17:23] smw: so it's defo software [17:23] walidvb_, must be [17:23] ActionParsnip, i will learn about open ssh :) [17:23] smw: hmm.. clean install could do, then, eventually..? [17:23] walidvb_, at least not in consumer* setups [17:23] any can healp me ? :-( [17:24] walidvb_, no idea. I don't understand the problem [17:24] how can i toggle through top??? i run the top command and want to scroll down [17:24] Hi can anyone help me, I'm having a problem with my sound. I'm on ubuntu 10.04 and I have had no problems with my sound but today I turned on the laptop and it detects no sound hardware.

[17:25] foolove, top does not allow this - use a smaller font to see more iirc. use ps to get a process list (efi or waxl as parameter) [17:25] walidvb_, same hardware? [17:25] can you healpme ? [17:25] smw: nope [17:25] `prixon: 12.04 has been a pleasant surprise for me [17:25] our's is supposed to be more powerfull [17:25] walidvb_, perhaps his hardware is faster? [17:26] Can anyone tell me how I can update my ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 12.04 without using a CD as im on a netbook, is there some sort of wubi for ubuntu? [17:26] walidvb_, which one was quicker? [17:26] smw: he said that no [17:26] `prixon: if you're wanting to install the desktop version I'd say go ahead. I've been using 12.04 right from Alpha, I have had NO serious issues since release whatsoever. :) [17:26] walidvb_, perhaps his hard drives are slower?

[17:27] anyone familiar with joliOS? do you know if it is based on Ubuntu? [17:27] Ubuntu recognizes the card but can't read/write/format [17:27] rachael_: or you can mount the alternate precise ISO and run the upgrade script there [17:27] <`prixon> and what would you say is a suitable size for the ubuntu partition and was a suitable size for the windows-7 one?

[17:27] hi. i'm trying to upload a config file from a switch to my tftpd-hpa default installation. sadly it times out on the switch, the chatter of the failed upload is here:http://nopaste.info/6e7d2f373a.html - i seems like the tftp server is not opening the (agreed on?) port? [17:27] he has worse [17:28] `prixon: I'm probably not the best to advise on that, I only have my ubuntu partitions :) /boot / and /home [17:28] damn..i was hoping they had a IRC room but :( [17:28] walidvb_, did his take longer overall? [17:28] rachael_, ActionParsnip you have to pass the -d option to do-release-upgrade, by default it will ony show a new .1 release, so 12.04.1 [17:28] walidvb_, it could have been waiting on IO (hard drives) [17:28] /join lubuntu === wilee-nilee is now known as Fyodorovna [17:28] it's not about time, it's about cpu usage while running the app. it introduces enormous latencies on our side. video is buffered in the RAM, though, so that could also be it(?) [17:29] `prixon: i use 10gb partition for ubuntu, only 6gb full, but i have a seperate storage partition [17:29] oCean: -d is for the deveopment release, which precise isn't anymore [17:29] i have seen videos of workspace switchers, when they switch its like a 3d cube how do i get this? [17:29] ActionParsnip: then it will not show a "new" release until 12.04.1 [17:29] Khmerog: ask the jolios people === john_363 is now known as ki4ro [17:30] actually its for Ubuntu [17:30] The Ati catalyst menu doesn't have overscan settings, could I possibly do this via x.org configs?

I cannot start my Windows 7 and I need to open it, help please [17:33] walidvb_, that is what nice is for [17:33] walidvb_, also, overheating cpu is a hardware problem :-P [17:33] calico, is ubuntu related somehow? [17:33] smw: let me google that [17:33] ^^ [17:33] Hi. My sandisk sd card can't be readed/formatted (not locked)... 12.04 detects it but can't do anything. The SD card is the issue. How to recover it? [17:33] walidvb_, get one of those cool liquid cooling systems :-P [17:33] <`prixon> sorry, I got d/c [17:33] smw: that's why i was looking in that direction at first. [17:33] <`prixon> and what would you say is a suitable size for the ubuntu partition and was a suitable size for the windows-7 one? [17:33] `prixon: i use 10gb partition for ubuntu, only 6gb full, but i have a seperate storage partition [17:33] bazhang, of course, before installing ubuntu I was able to boot my Win7 .... [17:33] smw: haha might do, or just change the computer :D [17:34] In terminal, currently in my /home, what parameters do I need to use to cd to my external usb (sdc1) hard drive? I've tried cd /dev/sdc1/a-directory and just cd /dev/sdc1 and keep getting blah, blah "Not a directory. It's mount-point is sdc1 along with the disks uuid. [17:34] calico, dual boot or wubi [17:34] bazhang, dual boot [17:34] `prixon: win7 is anyones guess, certainly not less than 20gb [17:34] ozpy: Can you see it using 'sudo fdisk -l' ? [17:34] thank you bazhang for that info about the workspace "cube" and other customizations [17:35] bazhang, there is win7 in grub or whatever (when starting the pc) but cannot start it [17:35] Sidewinder: confusion about what mount point means. /dev/sdc1 is the device node, not the mount point. [17:35] Sidewinder: to actually mount it, you write a command very much like "mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/somewhere" where you make a nice directory to mount it in first [17:35] ciao [17:35] !list [17:35] Guest26521: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [17:36] alankila, It's already mounted; it's mount point is it's uuid. [17:36] stefg: yes pal. I can see it. http://pastebin.com/Jp1Nw04T [17:36] oh - can I throw this out to the room - looking for ideas.... I had been trying to develop a Random DVD picker (would pick a random DVD from my collection). Wanted an application that would run on Windows,Linux (ubuntu) and Macintosh (more as a test of x platform dev). I tried TitaniumStudio, but while it works under windows fails miserably under ubuntu. Any ideas for alternatives I could try? [17:36] Sidewinder: and where is it mounted? [17:36] Sidewinder: usually the system auto-mounts each media device in /media/xxxxxxxx [17:36] smw: thanks for your help. i guess i have to keep looking into it [17:36] walidvb_, good luck [17:36] smw: cheers [17:37] grub or dual booting problem get Boot Repair app [17:37] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [17:37] alankila, On the desktop, I believe. [17:37] Khisanth, thanks I will try it now [17:37] computa_mike: why not just playlist/random in vlc? [17:37] Sidewinder: okay, probably under /media then. [17:37] stefg: I used to have a recovery software on Vista for cases like these. But I don't remember the name and run ubuntu only [17:37] Let me try media.. [17:38] VirtualBlackness: these are actual DVD's sitting on a shelf, as opposed to video clips - good idea though, and I had no idea I could do that. [17:38] ozpy: is the sd card really formatted with a linux file system ? (Apart from sda needing a partition table fix fdisk says the sd card is a linux filesystem) [17:38] VirtualBlackness: I'm looking to write some reviews of the DVD's, and I wanted a random picker. [17:38] <`prixon> ok, thanks [17:39] alankila, Same thing: cd: /media/sdc1/AzureusDownloads: No such file or directory [17:39] So you would have to manually enter your entire collection to some sort of db, and then randomize? === daftykin1 is now known as daftykins [17:39] Sidewinder: type "mount" and look for where /dev/sdc1 is mounted, if indeed it is mounted [17:39] alankila, Do I need to replace the sdc1 with the uuid? [17:40] anyone can healp me whit my wifi please ? [17:40] Sidewinder: maybe. Or label. Or whatever it chose to use if it has been automounted under /media [17:41] Stefg: It was formatter on Fat32 then I formatted it to EXT3... I did format in different kinds in the past. But now it's not working [17:41] ozpy: so partition type 83 is plausible, right? [17:41] !info testdisk | ozpy [17:41] ozpy: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.13-1 (precise), package size 516 kB, installed size 1209 kB [17:41] VirtualBlackness: That was the plan - I was going to import a spreadsheet (I have a spread sheet) into something like SQLlite, and then query that. I have the data access for that done - but was struggling finding a cross platform way of running it. [17:42] !info photorec [17:42] Package photorec does not exist in precise [17:42] hi, i have ubuntu 10.4 and i want to update to 12.4 .. how can I do this? [17:42] stefg: photorec is in the testdisk package [17:42] alankila, Yea, it's the uuid; that's what's been throwing me off. I thought that since it showed up as sdc1, under lshw, that I could just use that and save some typing; I guess not,, :( Thank you very much for the help. === MagicJ_ is now known as magicjj [17:42] !upgrade | PW-toXic [17:42] PW-toXic: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [17:42] zykotic10: thanks, didn't know that [17:42] Stefg: I have no clue about type 83 thing.. I can give a try if you instruct me how. [17:43] ozpy: what happens if you give 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt' [17:44] ActionParsnip, do i need to update to all versions in between? [17:44] ozpy: when you say you reformatted, did you delete the windows partition and create a linux one first? [17:44] PW-toXic: no, you can upgrade LTS -> LTS directly ;) [17:44] How do you configure ubuntu to boot like the way knoppix boots? [17:44] Hi, ive just upgraded to 12.04 and im getting a boot lockup where the screen stays black and the capslock flashes, but it doesnt happen all the time. any ideas? === tohuw is now known as Guest23165 [17:45] PW-toXic: the LTS->LTS upgrade isn't offered by default until the first point release, see !schedule for date. (it's possible now, but i don't know how) [17:45] madpup: that's a kernel panic.... check your hardware (memtest+) [17:45] madpup: flashing capslock etc is a kernel panic [17:46] zykotic10, so how about updating through all minor versions?

[17:47] same utility [17:47] zykotic18: I formated SD card to EXT3 only [17:48] hey i have updated my 12.04 successfully with the dual command apt-get update then apt-get upgrade, but when i launched the apdate manager it says that there is 6 packages that still need updates ? [17:48] ozpy: formatting and partitioning are not the same thing [17:48] !tab > ozpy [17:48] ozpy, please see my private message [17:48] Could you say please what is the difference between apt-get and update manager ? [17:48] ? [17:48] Any suggestion please ? :) [17:48] distsys: yes, upgrade doesn't do some packages, you want dist-upgrade [17:48] foolove: gunzip does nothing else than a 'exec gzip -d' [17:49] ozpy: did you try to mount the card? (see above for command) Any error messages ? [17:49] distsys: I use: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:49] Khisanth, it did no work .... [17:49] stefg: One sec. Almost there. Had an issue with my terminal [17:50] How do configure the ubuntu boot process to automaticly scan and reconfigure hardware? [17:50] Khisanth, all it did is it created a Windows Vista option in grub and can't load id nor can I load my win7 [17:50] Anyone754: you don't... it does that already [17:50] anyone754 doesnt it do it automatically [17:51] !grub | calico [17:51] calico: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[17:52] Is there a way to make the ubuntu boot process similar to knoppix? [17:52] anyone knew de guy erUSUL ?

(press Ctrl+Alt+F1, type your username and password when prompted). Don't forget to press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to normal [17:54] anyone rubbing ubuntu with hardware specs lower than Pnetium 4 1.7Ghz + 2GB Ram? if so how is the performance? is it slow? [17:54] distsys, thats not right [17:54] yothsoggoth: FYI you don't need CTRL in VT to switch, just ALT+F7 will work to return to Xorg [17:54] bazhang: what is right so ? :) [17:54] !dist-upgrade | distsys [17:54] distsys: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed.

[17:55] Good day everybody [17:55] patson, blue video? [17:55] jjtcomkid: Have you tried using a different Desktop Environment when you log in? If you click the little icon on the login prompt you should see options for things like Fallback Mode or something, see if you can login to that maybe? [17:56] stefg: Now i was able to format it back to fat 32 but I can't open it. [17:56] i thought we used ubuntu so there wouldn't be a bs0d? [17:56] bazhang: no, it doesn't even load.

[17:56] ok, I NEED to start my Windows 7, could someone really help me. It's dual boot, I installed ubuntu over my win7. I tried the repair boot thingy but it didn't work http://paste.ubuntu.com/969690/ [17:57] the screen shows Checking battery state: [OK] and then goes back to the login screen [17:57] noneusr, what does linuxprinting.org have to say abou t that printer [17:57] stefg: Yes.

[17:57] jjtcomkid: Well I'm out of suggestions I'm afraid. Your best bet is probably to see if you can find a bug report if somebody else has the same problem, if not file one yourself [17:58] is it already installed ? :) [17:58] Khmerog: I'm sure the specs you mentioned should handle it fine, although if you use a lighter desktop say lubuntu-desktop, IMO it will run great :) [17:58] stefg: i want to be able to use it. It's formated to fat32 on gparted... but man, I can't write or read it. it's not locked [17:58] hmm, nevermind.. reinstalling flashplugin-installer fixed it [17:58] ozpy: first of all lets get rid of all the junk: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4k [17:58] !synaptic [17:58] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager.

[18:00] in terms of hardware-less specs it goes Lubuntu -->Kubuntu-->ubuntu correct? [18:01] Khmerog: lubuntu-> Xubuntu -> IMO ubuntu vs kubuntu is a trade-off. [18:02] Gallomimia: just use your backups... [18:02] ActionParsnip: its not my computer and i don't care about backups. [18:02] Khmerog: you can make ubuntu even lighter by installing minimal, then installing openbox and slim :) [18:02] Gallomimia: i see [18:02] hi does ubuntu support PC's with lots of RAM? 16gigs? [18:03] Could you please give me some manual on how to configure login prompt in default Ubuntu window manager? I have never used it before, unfortunately and need some help [18:03] Khmerog: should come in at little over 1Gb installed [18:03] lots of ram. [18:03] wireless: 16Gb isn't lots of RAM [18:03] wireless, yes [18:03] If you've installed ubuntu over windows, then you would need to reinstall windows. Boot into ubuntu and then get online to search how to modify grub. You can download and use the ubuntu alternate disk to reinstall grub. [18:03] wireless: the 64Bit Ubuntu can support 4Eb of RAM [18:03] 16gb of ram...thats a lot for a PC [18:04] Khmerog: not in this day and age [18:04] it is "lots" of ram in the personal department [18:04] but thanks u guy i will download ubuntu 32 bit to try out.. [18:04] wow! Thanks guys [18:04] if you're talking about servers your sticks should probably be that size each === oscarpaats is now known as ozpy [18:04] There are ways to edit grub through the terminal [18:04] all Linux OS distros use GRUB for booting, correct?

I had tons of issues with it..all kinds of bugs. Lots of programs wont work, the unity menu is ALL messed up..and I've had friends say the same. [18:04] Anyone754, I meant I installed it allogside Win7. I ran the repair grub program, all it did is it added vista to the menu... [18:05] stefg: sorry about that but my sistem crashed when I introduced the last instructions you gave me [18:05] Khmerog: some uses LILO, but its rare [18:05] It completely froze [18:05] Khmerog: can't say for sure, but it's most common. [18:05] wireless: same here. unity in particular is really messed up, especially the window switchers, e.g. ring switcher etc [18:06] Stefg: I notice I can't scroll up on this chat too. Please send the instructions again. Sorry about that. Dont' know what happened [18:06] how do i minimize evolution to tray like deluge or xchat? Am using ubuntu 12.04 gnome.

[18:06] *do [18:06] ChrisH_, did you install ubuntu from windows? [18:06] ChrisH_: Grub is needed, even if you single boot [18:06] ChrisH_, it should have a timeout. if you just wait it should boot ubuntu [18:07] Fyodorovna: No === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [18:07] ChrisH_: you can just set the GRUB timeout to 0 or 1, then it will pretty much boot straight into ubuntu [18:07] ChrisH_, cool some will call that a dual boot. [18:07] yothsoggoth: where do I edit the settings? [18:07] yothsoggoth: I haven;'t used ubuntu in a while, I am not used to grub 2 [18:07] ozpy: what the command did is overwriting /dev/sdb (the SD-card) with zeroes. if your system crashes when doing so it might be a hardware issue. Here's the command again: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4k be sure to run it on the correct device... it nukes everything there [18:08] anyone using evolution and minimize it to tray... [18:08] ChrisH_, be careful seting it to 0 you may not be able to get to the recovery kernel if neded. [18:08] What is the name of default Ubuntu desktop manager? That is set up after installation [18:08] bs0d, unity [18:08] Fyodorovna: No worries. I have a live CD which can do most of the stuff I guess [18:08] Stefg: Let me try again and await some minutes. [18:08] Hi [18:09] ChrisH_, exactly, might need a chroot though. [18:09] ChrisH_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 That should help you find what you're looking for. Also, be aware of what Fyodorovna said, you shouldn't really set it to 0 incase you ever need to boot the recovery kernel, but setting it to 1 is fine [18:09] When i type "apt-get -f install" i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/969730/ [18:09] Can anyone help me?

[18:13] I haven't been able to find an answer to this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124087/ring-switcher-is-not-automatically-selecting-the-windows-on-key-release, can anyone help? [18:13] bs0d, as suggested should be in user accounts [18:13] justin__: Have you checked to see if there's a bug report for it? If not you should probably file one [18:13] yothsoggoth: it allows to switch only one account for automatic login :( either first or second, but not both .. and it doesn't show login prompt, to choose a user :( [18:13] Simul: how are you installing it? graphically or via CLI? [18:14] Graphically, daftykins. [18:14] bs0d, not sure if you have to be logged into that account to do it though, could be done from the cli I suspect but I don't know the command [18:14] Khmerog, yes and no. the traditional way to do this is to share a home partition. an expiremental method would be to use btrfs subvolumes, the biggest problem is that they will fight over the bootloader and who controls the boot [18:14] yothsoggoth: Haven't checked, I can try that. I was hoping it was a simple config file modification :) [18:14] bs0d: You should disable automatic login for all accounts, that way the login prompt should be shown [18:15] Simul: does the graphical app give you a purge option? rather than just a remove perhaps [18:15] bs0d: default desktop environment is Gnome, default Window manager is Compiz, default shell is Unity [18:16] how wise is it to do a dist upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04?

My javaws -version says I hava 0_32, but I have no plugin [18:17] I guess i meant release upgrade butya you know what i meant haha [18:17] Nk26, its version upgrade not dist upgrade, and its fine [18:17] Simul: i wonder if it planted anything in your home directory. tried looking with hidden options on? [18:17] Nk26: It should go fine. I did that and had no problems. Like daftykins said though, backing up first is always a good idea. [18:17] Nk26, use the upgrade tool, i recommend [18:17] Nk26: don't know how wise it was, but I just upgraded o 12.04 minutes ago and it seems OK so far. [18:17] though, it's also okay to do a clean install once in a while [18:18] i have a usb/bluetooth keyboard and have to change udev rules for it to work, but when i boot in safe mode it does not apply, how do i make this change to apply in safemode too please?

I do not like blue people [18:39] daftykins: success. Renaming .fontconfig didn't do anything, but removing the fonts, then insgtalling from the CLI did the trick.

[19:34] manzoor: because people who code malware don't code it much for linux, because it isn't used as much as windows. furthermore, you have lesser rights as administrator under linux. that causes more password prompts, but also better security.

[19:38] ubuntu_, ok didn't realize you were the same person. then YES absolutely thats your problem. there kernel is probing the hardware and is seeing lots of devices, so it just keeps creating them and fills up the ram. Now is it sda1 sda2,... up to sda99 which could indicate a bad partition table, or sda1, sdb1, sdc1 etc [19:38] tried adobe-flash plugin still doesnt work!! [19:38] @jonasplatte: can u tell which linux flavor is good? [19:39] I have to say I love Ubuntu 12.04.

[19:40] manzoor, My pleasure. :) [19:40] I have installed adobe flas plugin and 11.04 firefox will still not play the video ?

[19:41] I'm really trying to find an answer to the graphic glitching issue online, but I haven't had any luck. [19:42] For the mean time, I know I could go into Unity 2d, but I'd like to help get this fixed for other users too. [19:43] escott: after connecting my HDD through sata to usb converter i did a ls | grep sdb in /dev directory .after few second my system stopped responding [19:43] hi everyone. i just installed chrome browser. i am used to type into the terminal "firefox" to open it. but thats doesnt work with chrome. whats wrong? (i am new in ubuntu) [19:44] magic_al: google-chrome [19:44] magic_al: "google-chrome" [19:44] ubuntu_, in that case the partition table on that device is fouled up in some way that is causing it to have an unlimited number of partition tables. you would need to repartition the disk, and you would need some way to supress udev and prevent it from creating all the device nodes [19:45] escott: how can i do this [19:45] violinappren: that dosnt work as well :( [19:45] escott: ?? [19:45] magic_al: try: chromium [19:45] ubuntu_, i have absolutely no idea how to do that [19:45] violinappren: no... [19:45] magic_al: how did you install it?

[19:47] violinappren, could that one be changed [19:47] My eyes are bad [19:47] how change hint text in dash launcher ? [19:47] escott: thanks [19:47] ubuntu_, if it takes a few minutes you could practice nuking the partition with parted and see if you can hotplug, nuke the partition table, and sync the disk before it OOMs on you. you would lose all the data on the disk [19:48] violinappren: alright, that works, thank you. but is there a way to create a terminal-shortcut that i just have to type in "chrome"? [19:48] manzoor, I know nothing about vmware; never used it, sorry. :( [19:48] kasii: are you using network manager? [19:49] Fedora has the same issue.

[19:50] guys any one : i installed ubuntu on vmware and assigned static ip to the machine i cannt able to access internet but i can access the internet when ip assigned by dhcp. what is the issue?

[20:03] Hi [20:03] jonasPlatte, Not realyl sure what is wrong [20:03] mrdeb, I do have modified compiz settings with ubuntu-tweak. Could they be causing this?

[20:05] Hi guys. I've looked around and can't seem to find a solution. I'm on precise, trying to install windows to a separate HD so I can play Diablo 3. Said separate HD is formatted and empty, but when I try to run the windows installer it just says it can't install to that drive. [20:05] mrdeb - thank you for your help and patience. :) [20:05] Anyone have any clue what I need to do? [20:05] jonasPlatte, Any ideas? [20:05] jonasPlatte: no, I didn't remove old installation. I haven't started to install Precise yet. But how I supposed to access to encrypted folder from new installation without a key? [20:05] I'll try what you said. [20:05] jcrza, can't install the drive? Just plop in the Windows CD [20:06] What I mean is, it sees the empty HD, but if I try to partition it it just says no. [20:06] Now I wish I had written down the error, this was last night [20:06] I really hate to have to install windows, but I want to play d3 something fierce. [20:06] good luck scottamunga [20:06] hate* [20:06] waht is d3 [20:06] Diablo 3 [20:07] Couldn't get it to work with wine, even though they swear it does [20:07] You need to patch it and compile it yourself or something, which I did, still didn't work. [20:07] yes [20:07] jcrza, how was it formatted? what fs in on there? [20:07] I formatted it NTFS first, then I just deleted all the partitions off of it the second time [20:07] Both times it did the same thing, just wouldn't let me partition from the windows side of things [20:07] RedCap_work: Why don't you just move your data you want to keep to /home/backup or so, then delete everything but /home/backup from 12.04 live mode and install 12.04 without formatting the /home partition or if you don't have one, the root partition? [20:08] Could it be because ubuntu already has a System partition or something? I don't really know anything fancy about partitions or booting, just enough to repair MBRs and crap like that [20:08] Does anyone know why my minecraft keeps crashing? http://codepad.org/na4CiBoS using ubuntu 11.1 [20:08] But it's on separate drives.. didn't think any of that would matter.

[20:08] I want to run shell scripts with gnome-do, I added the dir with the scripts to files & folders. the default action for scripts however is open (editor). how do I change that to run? I guess I have to change default program for scripts globally. how do I do that? there is no sh (and no ruby, no python, ...) in Open With -> Other Applications. [20:09] jonasPlatte, no, but the MC site says use Sun [20:09] Yeah I had issues with openjdk on precise + minecraft [20:09] sun did it [20:10] jcrza, yah, MC loads up just fine, but when i click 'join server', boom crash [20:10] Perhaps that's when it's trying to initialize a 3d environment, so maybe that's a sign [20:10] Got the latest proprietary drivers and whatnot? [20:10] Hello, i have a partitioning problem... I was moving a partition in gparted and it got stuck just after it finished copying the partition but didnt move it, is there a way for me to recover it? [20:10] jcrza, how can i check that?

[21:10] Zeising: run the cmd - a ncurses like dialog will pop up let you define which is default [21:10] argief, and i stopped using Skype anyway lol [21:10] audr, it works sometimes, not allways, especially when another application is using audio, it hangs [21:10] fidel_: yes, but I can't do that on every single box i manage :) [21:10] arket: check the audio section of skype settings [21:10] /quit [21:10] fidel_: so I was hoping for a config file i can push out using puppet. [21:10] Zeising: k - no idea where the setting itself is stored [21:10] looks like adding a new user seems to have done the trick [21:10] arket, hrm hrm hrm.

[21:49] ok, call me ignorant (but I'm sure this has been sked here before) I've already grepped my resolution modes for my monitor and got one that shows it matches what the new upgrade is looking for & changed it in the grub file...but it's a no-go. It doesn't make sense to me why I'd change it in the grub on a single boot. Where should I change the info? on the init.d? [21:49] Hi All i 'm chatting from emacs ! [21:49] ask471, if you can browse the disk, then most probably everything is fine. you must then unmount the drive and from cmd line use fschk [21:49] Awesome ! [21:49] Taj-AFK: querry??? [21:50] If you click on See more results, you get all of your installed apps. you know what would be great? if clicking 'see more results' for Apps Available for Download would automatically launch the ubuntu software ceter [21:50] each time I run for instant video on YT, firefox creates process called 'plugin-container' and it consumes hugh amount of cpu time, also after video finishes [21:50] fschk. that will be usefull forever, thx.

[21:51] hadi: hi [21:51] hadi, just ask your question, hopefully someone knows the answer :) [21:51] be patient [21:51] brb [21:51] helpful guyz here, trust me [21:51] hadi: hey . [21:52] ask471, it all depends on the problem. Linux will allways work great until ur hardware packs up... [21:52] i'd like to send ussd codes through my mobile modem to my ISP (to check my balance). how do i do that? do i need special application? [21:52] i wanna develope a simple IRC server for my term projrct in Java but i don't know how to start ! [21:52] Maybe a stupid question, but do requests for help get queued up or do we just need to ask again? === andy_ is now known as Guest3759 [21:52] okay, so i can virtually rule out ubuntu as the culprit?

[21:55] We try to answer each and every question to the best of our abilities, we may not know the answer and thus why your question may still be unanswered. Hopefully someone who knows the answer will reply :) [21:55] hadi, i dont know irc/java dev, sorry [21:55] ask471, oh and sorry, the comd to check drive is fsck (without the h). you then need to add the device name, ie fsck /dev/sda [21:55] !fsck [21:55] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:55] Trian3: I'd try again after a while . or try to state my issue clearly.

[21:56] ask471, to fix mbr. again, please just read the man page. or at the very least grub-install --help (--help is the same as /help in ms) [21:57] When trying to use rsync with a path on my hd as the source and a newly formatted USB stick as the destination, I'm encountering the following error: rsync: mkstemp "/mnt/sdd1/..5j0fgW" failed: Input/output error (5).

[21:58] argief, whats the quickest way to instal grub via ubuntu livecd [21:59] What is the way to instal grub via ubuntu livecd [21:59] ask471, my advise is to obtain as much info from client as you can. in my experience the client did something to bring this on. ask if he installed anything new or if someone else has used his pc. it is easier to fix a problem if you know the exact cause [21:59] !pm | Trian3 [21:59] Trian3: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:59] The iso is 2.6gb [22:00] argief yes, i use that methodology alot. [22:00] Trian3: and the filesystem on the USB stick is fat32? [22:00] am just getting ready [22:00] ask471, sory didnt mean to patronize ;-) [22:00] Yes [22:00] for a quick job...being sunday here and all! [22:00] Yes, filesystem is fat32 [22:01] so i got nvidia drivers installed, but as soon as i turn on Enable Xinerama i get errors and my desktop starts to freeze. any ideas? [22:01] ok I'm assuming that no one here knows the answer to my question this time. Thanks for all the help you guys have provided in the past and are continuing to provide to people to this very day. Being the admin of a site myself that one aspect is running a support channel I understand and appreciate what you all are doing. Much love and appreciation! I'm out. [22:01] Trian3: does it always fail at the same point? How big is the partly written file? [22:01] ask471, quickest way: determine which device is his boot device (try fdisk -l /dev/sda ), then use grub-install /dev/sda (or whatever device is his marked as boot) [22:01] which directory should i backup to save all user data? home???? [22:01] ask471: yes [22:02] i enabled the desktop cube in compiz... how do i use it? [22:02] ask471, is this a "home" user? [22:02] afaik, yes. The only file I see is titled ldlinux.sys and is 14.3 KB [22:02] remlabm: xinerama is deprecated with the nvidia driver [22:03] this is his home system connected to his work system [22:03] arg this is his home system connected to his work system [22:03] argief this is his home system connected to his work system [22:03] remlabm: use twinview [22:03] how can i configure mutiple desktops with or with out nvidia proprietary drivers? [22:03] mikel doesn't work with unity [22:03] ^^^ [22:04] ask471, ok, maybe Im not clear: if this system runs mail/web server there are some other dirs to backup [22:04] thank you [22:04] thx stefg [22:04] ok :/ ..thanks xan [22:04] ask471, or mysql maybe? [22:04] remlabm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo [22:04] what about it? you dont think.... [22:05] argief is mysql likely a cause? [22:05] ask471, a cause of boot errors? never. but if he uses mysql/postgres/etc you should backup the databases as well. [22:05] Brustofski-Fan: It looks like that module is blacklisted on your system , could you share the output of dpkg -l | grep b43 [22:05] argief ohhhhh. do yu mean backup db? [22:06] argief yes gotcha! [22:06] my alt-ft and my plain alt yield two different results when i type 'gedit' - what am i expecting and doing wrong? [22:06] alt-f2 i mean [22:06] Guys, I need help: I'm hearing music from my headphones but also from my laptop speakers. How could I fix it? [22:07] ask471, ok so if not, then you only need to backup /home directory. also, the /etc dir is used to keep all his config files (sort-off like control panel), if you can backup and restore this dir, his system should be the same as when he last accessed it. [22:07] @Stefg Yes, it appears to be stopping at the same point. The only file on the USB drive is ldlinux.sys and is 14.3KB [22:08] can anyone help me with a kernel compilation question? [22:08] Trian3: I'd try to reformat the stick then... if it's empty anyway. [22:09] t0rx__: just ask , and state the issue . [22:09] I'm running boot repair, does anyone know how long it takes to scan systems? [22:09] @stefg Ok, I'll give that a try. Perhaps also to redownload the file. 2.6gb, tho... [22:09] can someone help me find out why my ubuntu-server 12.04 cant access the net but i can still ssh into it and ping it from other hosts [22:10] Trian3: I/O-errors indicate it could be a hardware problem with the flash memory on the stick [22:10] okay /home and /etc......THX, yu guyz have answered all, and i mean allll my questions, except one: how does one repair an ubuntu instal, a-la-windoze???? [22:10] When I compile the kernel if I include "modules-image" it dumps what appears to be module related bash code at the end. If I install the .deb it complains with Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.3.4 [22:10] sanduz2: can you ping a DNS server like "ping 8.8.8.8" [22:10] MirkoKa: yes [22:10] @stefg Then reformatting may not fix it. I wonder if inserting it into a different USB port might help... [22:10] sanduz2, can you ping google.com? maybe a dns resolution error [22:10] Trian3: and there were fake USB sticks which showed larger capacity than they actually had [22:10] how does one repair an ubuntu instal, a-la-windoze? is it even possible? [22:11] It also includes: Consult /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/5.100.82.38+bdcom/build/make.log for more information. [22:11] argief: that gives me ping: unknown host google.com [22:11] sanduz2: DNS servers aren't listed in /etc/resolv.conf [22:11] ask471: it is spelled windows and what does that even mean exactly? [22:11] MirkoKa: thank you [22:11] ask471, its not windows. you need to change ur mindset. === twoface is now known as tw8face101 [22:12] i know....it would help if i can get that answer, please? === tw8face101 is now known as tuxface101 [22:12] MirkoKa: why did ubuntu server come without dns servers but ubuntu desktop works fine? [22:12] ask471: what exactly do you mean by a la windows? [22:12] hi, im looking for a cool simple(!) backup tool [22:12] ask471, you dont "repair" linux, it just doesnt work the same way. try the suggestions i gave, fsck and grub-install. thats it. it should magically come to life again! :-) [22:12] IdleOne: as in repair instal without loss of data? [22:13] backup data, re-install, restore data. Same way as windows :) [22:13] anybody know what package contains libdvdcss.so.2 ? I am running 10.04 [22:13] ask471: I'm not sure this is what you want to know but you can reinstall Ubuntu, even if /home is not separate, and not lose any data. [22:13] argief, okay then, will do... [22:13] MirkoKa: i think its because i chose static ip... [22:14] PW-toXic: backup to where? [22:14] from my ubuntu fileserver to a qnap (for example)+ [22:14] fl1bbl3: okay but not a repair is it? [22:14] Trian3: if you really want to test the stick you could completely zero it with a dd command. at the end you'll get a summary of how many bytes were written, so you a.) know the real capacity b.) know that it is writable c.) have a low level formatted stick that you can repartition and reformat [22:14] with folders with more than 1 million small files [22:14] and about 100GB [22:14] sanduz2: possible, and then forgot to add the DNS server ips, while on the desktop you perhaps used full DHCP which also fetches the DNS servers === md_5|away is now known as md_5 [22:14] PW-toXic: rsync === John__K is now known as Tasmania [22:15] MirkoKa: i see, why would ifup (which is what i used) forget to add them? [22:15] fl1bbl3, is there a guy for that? [22:15] IdleOne: okay thanx, so its poss? how to do it?? [22:15] @Stefg What's the format for that? Simply... "dd"? === Tasmania is now known as John__K [22:15] Trian3: what's the sticks device name ? [22:16] do you think archlinux would beat ubuntu in the future [22:16] @Stefg /sdd [22:16] Hi, aim trying to isntall ubuntu from Windows, can't use CD to boot, installed files on local drive, but during instalatin, it says that no realibe file sytem.. [22:16] MirkoKa: just trying to learnn for future reference [22:16] !offtopic | tuxface101 [22:16] tuxface101: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:16] PW-toXic: a user guide? Its actually a pretty simple tool and the man page is pretty good. Usually a simple rsync -avz --progress ./backupthis /mnt/tohere is all you need [22:16] tuxface101: trollface [22:16] sanduz2, ifup will only add dns if u use dhcp [22:16] sanduz2: ifup doesn't add anything, it depends on exiting configuration which you either have to provide yourself (static ip) or are found by DHCP [22:17] Trian3: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev /sdd ... be careful to use the correct device. It#s goiung to be zeroed [22:17] ask471: not in the sense you mean no, but it results in a working system without data loss [22:17] why use dd [22:17] just cp /dev/zero /dev/[the disk] [22:17] fl1bbl3: okay, tell me moreeee [22:17] fl1bbl3, and then use cron tab to automatically call it? [22:17] dd is slower unless you specify a block size, since it defaults to 512 bytes [22:17] argief, MirkoKa: oh i see, so it seems like i would have to manually add these to interfaces file if i choose static ip config. thanks guys [22:18] ask471: you put in the ubuntu cd and when you get to the partitioning part of the install you select "manual" and make certain to uncheck the box where your /home is. [22:18] Random832: you want dd's final report [22:18] PW-toXic: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ <-- good easy guide [22:18] Random832: and you want to write block by block, so the flash controller remaps worn out cells [22:18] @stefg Thanks. I'll try that now. [22:19] ask471: ^^ IdleOne's technique works fine, though I'm paranoid and would backup data areas first [22:19] !info rsnapshot | PW-toXic: you might want to look at this too [22:19] anyone know how to remedy bcmwl from messing up a kernel compile? [22:19] PW-toXic: you might want to look at this too: rsnapshot (source: rsnapshot): local and remote filesystem snapshot utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-3 (precise), package size 144 kB, installed size 644 kB [22:19] stefg: ok, huh? [22:19] IdleOne: ahhh clever one...so that results in a fresh instal but with the origina /home data! but doesnt that mean we get 2 /home dirs??? [22:19] stefg: for one thing, cp does write sequentially [22:19] ask471: backups should always be done before any major system install/upgrade [22:20] stefg: for another thing, if you don't specify block size, dd writes in _smaller_ blocks than cp [22:20] how do you think about backintime? [22:20] IdleOne: ofcourse, 3 copies! [22:20] stefg: ideally yyou want dd with a large block size specified, like bs=100M [22:20] ask471: no, because you will be telling the installer you already have a /home, where it is, and not to format it. [22:20] Random832 AFAIK dd uses bs=512 by default [22:20] right, and 512 is crap [22:20] what's the key? [22:20] cp uses a block size of 32k by default i think [22:20] mikel, aka "windows key" [22:21] k, thx [22:21] fl1bbl3, i have some problems with incremental backups using hardlinks, because creating hardlinks for 1 million files or more because i changed one file, is quite expensive! [22:21] IdleOne: awesome, i get it now! thanks for ubuntu support, argief, fl1bbl3 , IdleOne [22:21] ask471, again, windows vs linux. you dont re-install linux every 3months like windows... mind shift.... [22:21] anyone just installed/upgraded to 12.04, I recommend this link: http://bit.ly/K1ePqE [22:22] oh and thx stefg [22:22] mango: please don't spam [22:22] I'm not spamming.

I was having trouble using that command, so I opted to just wipe the partition & try re-creating [22:30] Does anyone know what is the best editor to edit a Adobe Illustrator file (AI)? [22:30] hello. I'm searching for help to dev with portaudio lib does anyone already work with it or know where can I get some help ? [22:31] @stefg Strangely, the device was previous /dev/sdd, but now is /dev/sde (Grrr... I so hate having to climb over the newbie hurdle.) [22:31] @stefg Glad you guys are here to help [22:32] Trian3: the whole purpose was to write to every single block of the stick (to see if it works). The device change is caused by unplugging an using a different USB port [22:32] @stefg I'll try again, then. [22:33] Trian3: and pay attention what dd reports at the end ... that's the real capacity of the stick [22:34] Hi. I've been having some weird trouble recently.

[22:35] stefg, no [22:36] stefg, NVidia GeForce GTS 250, IIRC [22:37] Krenair: ok... the fglrx driver sometimes does things like that, but with the nvidia driver you should be fine [22:38] @stefg I'm receiving an error when trying to execute that command. I'm entering "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev /sde" and it's returning "dd: unrecognized operand '/sde' [22:38] The computer keeps running.

[22:44] Trian3: "killall -USR1 dd" in a 2nd terminal to force dd giving a status output [22:44] So I've read the forums, but does anyone here have a way of making a WNA3100 USB dongle working in Ubuntu? [22:44] llutz: Thank you. I'll try that [22:44] stefg, might 'CPU0: Core temperature above threshold' messages in syslog have something to do with it? [22:46] Krenair: that's worth investigating [22:46] 3.3 GB so far... 11.7 more to go [22:46] Also [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged [22:46] ok, brb [22:48] The non-standard driver made me have to hard reboot when I modeprobed, and the factory driver did nothing. I'm on a 64-bit machinem, running a Win7-Ubuntu dual boot. [22:48] Krenair: i think that indicates a problem. So if the problem suddenly appeared, without any related software changes it's time for a hardware check [22:48] modprobed* [22:48] viejotren: on 12.04 (and I'm pretty sure on 10.04 too) adding to /etc/environment should work. do the env vars don't show up after relogin or do the internet programs (browser, mail, etc) not work [22:50] Krenair: check that your CPU fan is running, and still sitting tightly on top your CPU. [22:50] Mirkoka: after add some lines in /etc/environment the browser does not catch the proxy [22:51] Mirkoka: in fact after relogin it did not work [22:52] Mirkoka: export http_poxy=http://account@proxy:port [22:52] stefg: Truth be told I'm not sure how long I've been having this issue for. [22:52] after a "setxkbmap -option ctrl:ralt_rctrl", control key works as expected, except for shortcuts set in ccsm, can anyone please help? [22:52] So I'm not sure if there were any software changes... But there might've been. [22:53] Krenair: overheated CPU can cause weird symptoms... everything from flashing screens to sudden earthquakes [22:53] Okay, CPU fan is working fine [22:53] It's also still on top of the CPU [22:53] id just like to say thanks to all the developers of ubuntu for this amazing free software :) [22:54] Krenair, any more info? seems we are stabbing in the dark? what are u doing before ui stop responding? or is it completely random? [22:54] argief: Appears to be completely random. [22:54] Hm wait a sec. No this doesn't look right [22:54] There's a lot of dust between the fan and the CPU [22:55] f4h5: Nice [22:55] :) [22:55] Krenair, what is the output from acpi -V ? [22:55] it should tell u the cpu temp [22:56] viejotren: no need for export in /etc/environment, but it seems that firefox (maybe other GUI browsers) doen't recognize the http_poxy var, try removing the export from the file and if that doesn't work, use your browsers settings to specify the proxy [22:57] argief: http://pastebin.com/Pp9LCuKJ [22:58] Mirkoka I'm using chromium, when i want to configure the proxy values from it, I got a message that i need to stup that using the OS [22:58] MirkoKa, Im assuming you did try adding it in the network settings (gui) ? [22:58] Krenair: I'd get a new pack of heat transfer paste, clean the box and all heat spreaders and reinstall the CPU fan for good measure. heat paste tends to get crumbly after a while [22:58] uh why did I get booted from sudoers? [22:58] Krenair, 40C? Thats fine. [22:58] Krenair, maybe check it regularly? if you think cpu is the culprit? [22:59] I just need to be sure that the target fail is /etc/environment, is that right? [22:59] argief: I have no idea what the problem is, but I suspect CPU or graphics card [22:59] what the problem is caused by* [22:59] Krenair: installing a CPU temp monitor to keep an eye on it won't hurt too much [23:00] Krenair, hav you checked top when it happens? [23:00] argief: When it happens I lose all control over the computer. [23:00] Seriously, only thing I can do is move the mouse. [23:00] viejotren: chromium seems to not honor the var as well, what message do you get when using its own configuration? [23:00] Krenair, even in tty? [23:01] Krenair: can you ctrl-alt-f1 to a tty? [23:01] I haven't tried. [23:01] argief: since I don't user a proxy I can't really test it. why do you ask? [23:02] MirkoKa, sorry... question was for viejotren [23:02] stefg: Next time it happens I'll do that. Thanks for the advice [23:02] Also, that dust I mentioned behind the CPU fan: http://i.imgur.com/FUmxY.jpg [23:02] Mirkoka: the message I got from chromium is that that browser does not have how to manage the proxy settings, that I need to tweak the [23:02] the OS [23:02] then chromium reads from it [23:02] Krenair, do a cntrl+alt+F1 and type "top". The top usage of your cpu will be the first line. [23:03] argief: yes I did not try to add from the GUI [23:03] argief: that's because I'm not using gnome as the window manager [23:04] so I can't find the apropiatte applet [23:04] Krenair, im flying blind, so please stop me if im patrionizing... but you can then use "pkill application_name" to stop the culprit [23:04] viejotren, what r u using? [23:04] argief: Thanks! I'll try this [23:05] Krenair, maybe first try: ps aux | grep application_name. you can then see the complete cmd line that was used to start the app. this maybe helpfull to identify why it is hogging ur cpu cycles [23:05] Krenair: although it's not pretty the box seems reasonably clean. But vacuum cleaning the CPU fan (when box is switched off) would help [23:05] argief: LXDE [23:06] argief: It's not even necessarily high CPU usage. But it's worth looking into, yeah [23:06] \ === J2|QK is now known as J2 [23:06] Krenair, imho if GUI stops responding, it is cpu usage/heat [23:06] is there a shortcut to activate the virtual desktop switcher? [23:07] viejotren, ok, and what are u using to control network? network manager? [23:07] stefg: Ok, the dd command has finished. Upon completion it says, "dd: writing to '/dev/sde': No space left on device [23:07] Hey y'all [23:07] argief: yes === minecrafter is now known as Guest16634 [23:07] stefg: 31301632+0 records in, 31301631+0 records out [23:07] Trian3: and after that ist says how many bytes were written [23:08] stefg: 16026435072 bytes (16 GB) copied, 1525.33 s, 10.5 MB/s [23:08] is there a ubuntu help channel? [23:08] Trian3: ok... test passed [23:08] Guest16634: you're in it [23:08] Trian now you need to make a partition table and a partition and format that [23:09] Trian3: ^^ [23:09] LOL [23:09] stefg: Ok, good. I've already made the partition table. I just need to format. [23:10] viejotren, ok great my NM is not working... do you not see a setting when you click on edit connections? [23:10] Alright, well not sure if Im in the right place for my problem, I have an ancient Graphics Card (Nvidia Geforece MX 420) that I cannot find the drivers for linux [23:11] argief: no, nothing like proxy settings of network settings [23:11] Hi there.. I can not seam to get the latest ubuntu to reveal the taskbar thing on the left whan i have it set to auto hide.. i have to press a button ... what settting do i need to tweak to get ti to pop out hwne i move my mose to the left of screen?

I used the command "mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n BT5 /dev/sde1 and it came back with "mkfs.vfat: /dev/sde1 contains a mounted file system" Is that an error? [23:11] Hello everyone. [23:11] viejotren: did you really used the Manual method and have added the proxy url in the various entries? don't use the Automatic method and don't add the :port to the url, but give the port in the fields next to it [23:11] Can someone help me out there? [23:12] Simple question. [23:12] iObey: Try MYUNITY...it should help you get it working correctly [23:12] The only conection I have is a 3G one. [23:12] so I'm assuming I'm kinda out of luck [23:12] I want to know how can I conect to it from the CLI. [23:12] I mean, start the conection without even loading X. [23:13] iObey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ... you need the -legacy driver , not -current [23:13] Is there some good soul that can help me with this? [23:13] ki4ro, ok.. thanks.. I'll give that a look see [23:13] iObey: Welcome...good luck...can always check back here if that doesn't help [23:13] stefg: n/m I got it [23:14] Trian3: pull the stick and re-insert. the kernel didn't notice we were nuking the stick, and you should have unmounted first [23:14] stefg, sorry do you mean the "default" one or the one you insal from aditiona drivers? as there are two in there I am ruuing one of them as one dose not install [23:14] stefg: Yeah, I just did (unmount) [23:14] Guest16634, use pppd [23:15] stefg: I have 2 partitions, a 2.5Gb fat32 partition and the remainder is ext3. It's formatting the 2nd one now [23:16] iObey: wait... i recall there is a problem with older nvidia-drivers and newer X. you're stuck to the nv /nouveau driver with that MX440 [23:16] viejotren, there is a way to do it with iptables, if u are realy hardup [23:16] how do i get and install lwjgl? [23:16] what exactly did pppd do? [23:17] Guest16634, "did"? [23:17] it made random characters appear [23:17] Guest16634: it does dial up connections ... [23:18] why am I trying to do dial up connection? [23:18] Guest16634, did u set it up? you need to setup the .conf file in /etc [23:18] Guest16634, it works on a 3g modem. [23:19] I'm not trying to work with anything dealing with my network, just my graphics card lol [23:19] Guest16634, oops... sorry thought you were talking bout mobile gsm 3g nework! lol [23:19] ki4ro, that config pannle is not helping :( [23:19] you know what, i don't hate unity in 12.04 any more [23:20] stefg, I'll try rolling back to that other driver [23:20] i gave my ubuntu server 12.04 a static ip and it seems this stops dns from working (cant resolve domain names). any ideas?

[23:20] i didnt find any dns options in the manual for interfaces file [23:20] argief: that was L3ct3rIII and he's gone [23:20] sanduz2: put it in /etc/resolvconf/head [23:20] iObey: should be easy... just delete/rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:20] i still think virtual desktops are left to right not 2x2 [23:20] iObey: Sorry...that's all I have knowledge of...maybe others can help more [23:21] brb [23:21] sanduz2: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [23:21] krababbel: thanks, ill try that. that file says not to edit it directly though, is there a "right" way to do it? [23:22] sanduz2: cat /etc/resolv.conf [23:22] Good evening all ! I am still having trouble playing you tube videos on 11.04 on firefox. I have installed teh latest flash plug-in and still no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions? [23:22] sanduz2: I got told here to do it, I know it says don't touch, but it works :) [23:22] um command to see system temp [23:23] pehden: sensors [23:23] thanks [23:23] thanks mirkoka [23:23] sanduz2: I think 'resolvconf -u' takes information from there, but I also noticed I got the same server twice in resolv.conf then too.

[23:24] I did. Still nothing. I also tried Opera! === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [23:25] forgeaus, you don't want to set a root password [23:25] * stefg hates it when for no apparent reasons things change .... who need f*ing network manager on a server? [23:25] gunny17: Must be CPU issue then [23:25] Fyodorovna: I wouldn't have needed it if this stupid policykit window didn't replace my kdesu one and keep asking for a root instead of sudo password [23:26] stefg: Unfortunately, I'm getting the same error when trying to use the rsync command... Full output of error is as follows...

[23:26] Sorry for flood [23:26] ki4ro: how can I know if it is or not? [23:26] Fyodorovna: erm maybe it ws kdesudo not kdesu lol [23:26] Fyodorovna: my heads still back in edgy and feisty days sometimes :) [23:26] Trian3: sdd1 is your 2.5 GB fat partition, right? [23:26] forgeaus, never used kubuntu at least for more then about 5 minutes. === Travis is now known as Guest92109 [23:27] gunny17: Well if no browser gives you what you want then it must be a CPU issue in my humble opinion [23:27] forgeaus, lol it happens [23:27] stefg: Yes [23:27] ki4ro: hmmmm... [23:27] and you are trying to copy a file how large? [23:27] gunny17: Maybe others have another idea [23:28] Trian3: ^ [23:28] forgeaus, with a quick google og the policykit and kde I do see some bugs [23:28] s/og/on [23:28] ki4ro: strange everything else seems OK. Runs well. [23:28] Fyodorovna: doesn't matter, kdesudo (formerly kdesu but broke with parallel kde3 and kde4 so kdesudo was made as a fix or something) anyway so kdesudo is just the kde version of gksu right? ... [23:28] Wadya think folks, if no browser works with youtube does he have a cpu/graphics card issue? [23:29] forgeaus, not sure I have not used it enough to know the commands [23:29] stefg: Erm... 2.6G... Ok, so I'm merely following these instructions to the letter. Why would they have me create a 2.5G partition then copy a 2.6G file to it??? [23:29] Fyodorovna: yes but you do know gksu right? [23:30] gunny17: what does not work? does it crash? [23:30] forgeaus, some what I use gksudo mainly [23:30] Trian3: GB is not GiB ... confusing ... i know [23:30] krababbel: i found out the best way to do it, add a line to interfaces in your static config with 'dns-nameservers 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0' ;) enjoy [23:30] stefg: So, does the context of that error make sense given what I'm seeing? [23:30] ki4ro: It does nothing. Just a black screen. [23:30] its weird that this parameter is not in the man pages for interfaces [23:30] Fyodorovna: oh ok gnome has a gksudo now too? I see.. ok well that one then ...either is fine! [23:30] Trian3: shure... the file simply does not fit [23:30] ki4ro: It does nothing. Just a black screen. [23:30] sanduz2: Thanks, I didn't put a mask in there, when I tried it. :) [23:30] forgeaus, not real familiar with the differences really yeah. [23:30] stefg: I wouldn't normally expect "input/output error", but something more... I don't know... helpful [23:31] gunny17: Don't know...hopeful others may have a suggestion for you [23:31] krababbel: It does nothing. Just a black screen. [23:31] krababbel: not sure if the mask matters much there, does it? i put one just in case, im no networking expert [23:31] Fyodorovna: none of this helps me get my password back! ... [23:31] stefg: But I'll try recreating the partition. 3.5Gb, perhaps. [23:31] I'll try again, and see. Had to reinstall and didn't remove network manager yet. :) [23:32] well have fun krababbel [23:32] Fyodorovna: I can't even sudo anymore! :( [23:32] sanduz2: thank you [23:33] gunny17: sorry, what graphics card? [23:33] krababbel: The screen is black. Maybe one out of twenty will load and play. [23:33] nvidia [23:33] forgeaus, hmm, I will say that we are probably way beyond my skill set, I have some specialty areas mainly I'm just a user really. [23:33] gunny17: do you have nvdpau1 installed? [23:34] gunny17: what driver do you use? [23:35] krababbel: The experimental one by ubuntu developers [23:36] krababbel: The experimental 3D support found by "additional drivers". [23:38] forgeaus: What happens when you try to use sudo? [23:38] krababbel: should I try nvdpau1? [23:38] I am on ubuntu 12.04. Randomly compiz crashes and icons randomly go invisible on the unity bar. And its never the same application, its multiple ones. Any ideas? I've tried nvidia-current and even an nvidia-beta driver. [23:38] gunny17: experimental? you mean the post-release drivers? You could try adding /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and put EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in there. You'll need nvdpau1 installed too. [23:38] Can somebody help me install GTX570 drivers? === JermB0b is now known as JermBob [23:39] gunny17: This is unstable though. And it will be forever, since Adobe dropped Linux development. [23:39] gunny17: Did you try html5 too? === sergio is now known as Guest10412 [23:40] era878: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [23:40] krababbel: gunny17: While Adobe dropped Linux development, Google simultaniously agreed to continue development of flash for linux. [23:40] gunny17: libvdpau1 it's called [23:40] so adobe never plans to release any more flash updates for Linux ever again? [23:40] Jordan_U: Yes, but only for Chrome. DRM seems to become a real headache in the future. [23:41] brb [23:41] yes html5 too [23:41] How is Google going to develop Flash when they don't own the code? [23:41] gunny17: You could try that hardware acceleration, but seems your card isn't supported well. [23:41] wildman330: They will put it in Chrome. [23:42] I am still getting the "smurf" effect from Flash. Anyone else? [23:42] wildman330: there are also opensource implementations of flash [23:42] krababbel: Thanks I will try it. [23:42] Yeah but those open-source Flash versions (like Gnash) don't work very well [23:42] wildman330: You can add /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and put EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in there. You'll need libvdpau1 installed too. [23:42] krababbel: Only for the Pepper API, which is open and thus can be supported in Firefox and other browsers in the future. [23:42] how do you install kqemu and libvirt in the new ubuntu 12? [23:43] forget it [23:43] Jordan_U: I read that Chromium wont get it for instance, but I don't know really. [23:44] Jordan_U: I get the message: forgeaus is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [23:44] They say it will be only for Chrome. [23:44] <`prixon> when I'm installing packages, are they installed in the /home folder or in the filesystem/root itself? [23:44] krababbel, I don't have an /etc/adobe directory [23:44] I'm trying to dist-upgrade from 10.04, but apt-get tells me that there is no more recent version available [23:44] wildman330: addit [23:44] forgeaus: What is the output of "groups"? [23:44] I'm not sure what to look for from here [23:44] how can i make alt+tab in unity switch between all open windows on current workspace instead of grouping by application? [23:45] forgeaus vboxusers [23:45] Zarathust: update-manager --devel-release [23:45] Zarathust: You won't be prompted to upgrade to 12.04 from 10.04 until 12.04.1 is released. [23:45] krababbel: Thanks I will try it. [23:46] great thanks to you [23:46] Jordan_U: forgeaus vboxusers [23:46] forgeaus: That's all? [23:46] "normal" update-manager didn't prompt me for the dist upgrade [23:46] argief, it just happened again when I was changing windows. I tried ctrl + alt + f1 but nothing changed [23:46] forgeaus: if you have another user with sudo privs use that to add yourslef back to the sudo and admin group. if not, you need a livecd [23:46] Jordan_U: yes apparently, I think ubuntu punished me for trying to set a root password :( [23:46] The way the screen was when it broke made it look like the problem was to do with graphics [23:46] forgeaus: No, it doesn't work like that. [23:47] forgeaus: How was this user created? [23:47] Jordan_U: then why would it do this? [23:47] forgeaus: I don't know. [23:47] Bleh, is there a way to watch netflix on Ubuntu? [23:47] Jordan_U: from the liveCD installer... [23:47] Krenair, is it still like that? or have you rebooted? [23:47] argief, I have to reboot when it happens [23:47] forgeaus: What did you do to try to set a root password? [23:47] There's no other way to fix it [23:47] Jordan_U: sudo worked right up until I gave the command sudo passwd root [23:48] `prixon, the contents of a deb package are installed into the linux filesystem as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview, as well as some leeway in where certain files go [23:48] krababbel, thanks that worked [23:48] Krenair, ok sorry, thought it was on another pc. so you were not able to switch to text console with cntr+alt+F1? [23:48] Jordan_U: my graphical sudo was replaced with some policykit one asking for a root password instead of my sudo one [23:48] forgeaus: petty unlikely, that wouldn't remove you from more that half a dozend other groups [23:48] argief, nope. [23:48] was ur screen black? Krenair [23:49] no [23:49] forgeaus: Just the command "sudo passwd root" would not change what groups your user is in, and without your user being in either the "admin" or "sudo" group it's expected that sudo will not work. [23:49] MirkoKa: what? not just sudoers? I'm out of lots more? [23:49] Krenair, how did it look? ur mouse pointer still moving? [23:49] Jordan_U: seems to me that thats part of the punishment! I could sudo before running that command [23:49] argief, it looked like I had been changing between two different windows. (Some parts of one window were displaying in the box of another) [23:49] forgeaus: default for normal users is: cdrom,floppy,dialout,tape,dip,adm,plugdev,fax,fuse,video , for admins is cdrom,floppy,dialout,tape,dip,adm,plugdev,fax,fuse,admin,sambashare,lpadmin,video [23:49] argief, The mouse pointer, as I said earlier, still works [23:50] MirkoKa: wow thats a lot [23:50] Krenair, did you try siwtching on/off ur numlock? [23:50] argief, what would numlock do? [23:50] <`prixon> gsr, so how will creating a separate partition as a /home partition would help me if I reinstall ubuntu on a different filesystem-partition? [23:50] well this is the user I set up initially during install [23:50] wildman330: no problem, it is a bit unstable though [23:51] i've disabled the unity run dialog in ccsm and turned on 'run dialog' in 'gnome compatability' as well as the keyboard combination in keyboard shortcuts...yet it's not giving me the old gnome 2 style run menu. any ideas why? [23:51] forgeaus: My guess is that there was some major problem which caused both the change in policykit's behavior and your loss of most of your groups. [23:51] wildman330: another way would be to remove libvdpau1 [23:51] `prixon, because you would keep all your personal files - documents, personal settings, and anything else in your user directory [23:51] Krenair, thats the last trick. if ur system "freezes", the last thing you check is numlock. if the light for numlock still goes on/off then ur system has not completely frozen and you may yet be able to restore order. [23:51] Does anybody know how much RAM the desktop 12.04 ubuntu uses [23:52] `prixon, it won't keep the applications installed through apt or dpkg. [23:52] wildman330: then the mms.cfg isn't needed, but you'll have no hw acceleration [23:52] forgeaus: I want to say that Policykit changed to ask for your root password because sudo was broken from your user not being in the proper group, but that doesn't fit with the fact that you were able to run "sudo passwd root" successfully. [23:53] can someone recommend a dvd authoring tool that does menus, I have the video I just need to make it more... DVDie? [23:53] Jordan_U: but I wasn't able to run it successfully [23:53] forgeaus: Wait, did you get this error when you ran "sudo passwd root"? If so, then that confirms my theory. [23:53] argief, my system hasn't completely frozen. [23:53] argief, audio from youtube still plays and people can still use my minecraft server [23:54] forgeaus: Then the explanation for Policykit changing its behavior is that it detected that sudo couldn't possibly work. [23:54] It's just what I see on the screen that's screwed up [23:54] Jordan_U: I ran it and I used my password, then it gave me the error saying I wasn't in the sudoers group, after that, thats all I ever get if I try to use sudo [23:54] <`prixon> so assuming someone is using a home-partition and a filesystem-part., after he reinstalls he will have to install all apps again, did I get it correctly this time? [23:54] Krenair, when you move the mouse pointer, does it jumble up ur screen? [23:54] Jordan_U: I wasn't using policykit before normally, I was using kdesudo (from kubuntu-desktop) [23:54] argief, the cursor moves around normally. [23:55] Jordan_U: when I installed I think it was appler, it replaced my kdesudo pass prompt with the policykit one [23:55] forgeaus: whatever the reason was, I'm pretty sure you need to use a livecd to add yourself back to the groups [23:55] forgeaus: That doesn't matter. The only actual problem is that you lost most of the groups that your user should be in, everything else you've described is a symptom of that original problem. [23:55] Jordan_U: I didn't know how to change it back so I decided to try adding a root password [23:55] Krenair, and ur music doenst skip or play weird? [23:56] argief, nope. [23:56] Jordan_U: will I still be able to log in at all if I reboot? [23:57] forgeaus: yes, but you will probably face a lot of problems as you aer out of so many other groups [23:57] embedded java clients wont work in firefox. what do i need to fix to get it to work? [23:57] Krenair, thats really strange. So the only problem is that your gui doenst function aymore? [23:58] forgeaus: Probably, but I'm not sure. You need to boot from a LiveCD, or hold shift during boot and select "recovery mode" and add yourself back to the proper groups. [23:58] Jordan_U: I guess I'll try that [23:58] <`prixon> how much gb should I allocate for a home partition (if I just want to use it for saving my preferences and a virtual-machine of XP(which I guess is 6gb?)) and how much should I allocate for the filesystem/ubuntu 12.04? [23:58] argief, pretty much. [23:58] Krenair, logs? was it only ur cpu overheating error that seemed out of place? [23:59] Krenair, no dumps or exceptions? [23:59] argief, what logs do you want to see? The only errors which really seemed out of place were the CPU ones [23:59] any c++ programmers in here? please message me, need a probably easy answer to a simple question [23:59] spiderworm: /join ##c++
