| todd_ | `prixon: /boot can not be in an extended partition does that help? | 00:00 |
| spiritech | its not that i have anything against unty. i even have it installed on a laptop. though i feel a gnome only install of ubuntu might run better. | 00:00 |
| spiritech | or maybe not | 00:01 |
| xangua | spiritech: ubuntu already uses gnome desktop, unity is just a shell | 00:02 |
| spiritech | i suppose it would just be nice to have the choice like lubuntu uses and xubuntu users do. | 00:02 |
| === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance | ||
| xangua | !nounity | yes you have spiritech | 00:02 |
| ubottu | yes you have spiritech: 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 | 00:02 |
| `prixon | todd_, sorry, it doesn't help | 00:02 |
| L3top | how do I get to ubiquity from the screen that says boot: Pressing enter or entering boot parameters and pressing enter joltik. Sorry I missed the question | 00:03 |
| spiritech | so having unity installed and not using it doesnt affect performance at all. | 00:03 |

| vespakoen | Hey guys, I've got ubuntu running on my macbook for quite some time, great os! The problem, I can't eject a CD | 00:05 |
| vespakoen | here is what i did + logs: http://pastie.org/3870980 | 00:05 |
| L3top | `prixon: it was a yes or no question. "if I intend on creating a / filesystem partition and a home partition, do they both exist in an extended partition?" | 00:06 |
| vespakoen | Could this be because i am on gnome now ? | 00:06 |
| `prixon | and in it I choose either logical or primary for / ? what do i choose for /home? | 00:06 |
| spiritech | is there a tool for changing the colours of the menus etc. i am using the gnome-colour-chooser. and it is only affecting the application windows and not the file manager or cairo-dock menu's? | 00:06 |
| heikoheikoheiko | after accidentally deleting quite a large amount of (not important) data with "rm -r foo *" instead of "rm -r foo*", I'd like to alias rm to rm -i. when I do that in .bash_aliases, it works for my user but not with sudo. I tried putting it in /root/.bash_aliases, didn't work either. | 00:06 |
| `prixon | yes, I got you L3top . I got mixed up because of the previous answer todd gave me | 00:07 |
| L3top | logical | 00:07 |
| L3top | I saw that, but a tad late was cp pasting... no worries `prixon | 00:07 |
| spiritech | i know G-C-C is old. maybe there is an alternative? | 00:07 |
| `prixon | so /= primary (if possible, and if not then logical), and /home=logical. both living in an extended partition. correct? | 00:08 |
| === xubuntu is now known as lalo | ||

| troulouliou_dev | hi is it possible to upgrade a ubuntu server from 11.10 to 12.04 from command line with a CD only ? | 00:10 |
| RossPaterson14 | hi all, has anyone had a problem with Rhythmbox where you try and drag a song from the library to the iPod and it doesn't transfer, but also there are no errors? | 00:10 |
| jrib | troulouliou_dev: you mean without using the internet? | 00:11 |
| RossPaterson14 | also, if you have ran into this problem, were you able to fix it? | 00:11 |
| RossPaterson14 | cheers | 00:11 |
| troulouliou_dev | jrib, yes do-release-upgrade worlks with the official 12.04 server cd ? | 00:11 |
| BranicYeti | I have an issue with Ubuntu not connecting to my wireless network. Is it possible that it doesn't like the security? | 00:11 |
| `prixon | oh, and one more thing. the swap partition is primary? logical?? | 00:11 |
| L3top | `prixon: doesn't matter. often there is a swap option I believe... I haven't seen gparted in a while. | 00:12 |
| spiritech | kantinito i am using cairo-dock how is awn-manger going to help? | 00:12 |
| kantinito | maybe you'll see something :) | 00:13 |
| spiritech | hmmm | 00:13 |
| chu | troulouliou_dev: I imagine you'd have to redirect something in the sources.list (or whatever is used these days), but it should be possible. | 00:13 |
| jrib | troulouliou_dev: you should be able to use the cd but you still need the internet to grab packages that aren't on the cd | 00:13 |
| RossPaterson14 | BranicYeti, is your comp. able to connect to your router at all? | 00:14 |
| spiritech | installing awn is just going to conflict with cairo-dock. | 00:14 |
| kantinito | you just have to close the cairo-dock | 00:14 |
| troulouliou_dev | jrib, yes , not a problem , i just need to upgrade 10 + servers with a small bandwith | 00:14 |
| spiritech | thats is not a solution to my problem. | 00:15 |
| troulouliou_dev | jrib, but what is the procedure ? insert the cd and do-release-upgrade , o ri have to tweak the source.list as said chu ? | 00:15 |
| spiritech | i like cairo-dock. i am pretty sure you can change the colour of the menus. just dont know how yet. | 00:15 |
| RossPaterson14 | i dont suppose anyone has encountered anything similar to my problem that i posted before? | 00:16 |
| kantinito | try google , then | 00:16 |
| spiritech | yes google it is. | 00:16 |
| sfears | troulouliou_dev: do-release-upgrade will tweak your sources.list file for you | 00:16 |
| troulouliou_dev | sfears, and check if a cd is inserted befoore tweaking ? | 00:17 |
| sfears | i'm not sure about the cd part, it may... why do you ask? | 00:17 |
| mariocki | spiritech: try gnome-look.org and see if anyone has done a theme for cairo-dock that looks like what you are looking for | 00:17 |
| troulouliou_dev | sfears, want to fetch the major part of the updates from the official cd | 00:18 |
| troulouliou_dev | sfears, server version | 00:18 |
| kantinito | Tip: try different themes, some are already very sober, like Dust-Sand or Elementary. | 00:18 |
| BranicYeti | apologies. i got disconnected. so does anyone know why my ubuntu wont connect to my wireless network? | 00:19 |
| Benxyzzy | I'm trying to set up an internal DNS server for my home network. I'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto as a guide with a fresh ubuntu server install. I've done everything in the 'primary master configuration' section up to (not including) reverse zones. I think I should be able to get to the sever via the name I set up by now but I can't not even pinging. Is there something else I need to do? | 00:19 |
| sfears | troulouliou_dev: ohh, disregard what I said, you're working on something different. | 00:19 |
| RossPaterson14 | BranicYeti, does the pc connect to the router at all or does it drop out frequently? | 00:19 |
| `prixon | L3top, can I do all of the above without creating an extended partition where all the other partitions are in it? | 00:19 |
| troulouliou_dev | sfears, ok | 00:19 |
| L3top | no... they exist within the extended. | 00:20 |
| mkk | where's the skype system tray icon? | 00:20 |
| nickgaw | Hi, if I have the windows installed version of ubuntu and have the swap.disc and the main .disc files can any of these be used as virtual disk images threw virtualbox or qemu? | 00:20 |
| RossPaterson14 | mkk, if there was one, shouldnt it be up top beside the messaging icon? | 00:21 |
| spiritech | its not really the theme thats the problem. i just cant figure out how to change the menu colours for the app menu and system tray menus. | 00:21 |
| mkk | RossPaterson14: it's not there. when i open a new one and sign in, it says: there's another instance available. but i can't find it | 00:22 |
| BranicYeti | RossPaterson14: it wont even connect. i assume its something to do with the security. the key is correct but it acts as if it isnt | 00:22 |
| spiritech | i am pretty sure thers an option somewhere just cant find it. | 00:22 |
| syddraf | After doing a dist-upgrade to the new release, I am having a very strange problem. Whenever I click to drag a file in nautilus, the icon appears approximately 1 monitor width (1920x1080) away to the left on a different screen. The mouse cursor stays in the normal place, but the file icon is moved. When dragging into a program (such as VLC) the icon, not the cursor, must be over it to work, which causes some problems. Anyon | 00:22 |
| syddraf | e have any idea what's going on and how I could go about fixing it? | 00:22 |
| sfears | troulouliou_dev: if you put a # infront of all the lines except for ones that say deb cdrom: 12.04 it should only use the cd. | 00:22 |
| RossPaterson14 | BranicYeti: Assuming that you have just a normal router, the encryption is likely to be either WEP or a WPA variant. It is possible that you have selected the wrong encryption. If you can find out what encryption method the router uses, make sure that it is the same one that you have selected on Ubunut | 00:24 |
| BranicYeti | RossPaterson14: i use wpa-2 and it automatically detected that. i double checked the settings and everything seems to be right in there | 00:25 |

| jacky | http://www.kde.org :P | 00:27 |
| sfears | BranicYeti: bt, bluetooth? | 00:27 |
| Floyd42 | branicyeti: hmm ok. just wondering because KDE has a wallet manager that you need to configure before it connects to wireless networks without issues. | 00:27 |
| RossPaterson14 | BranicYeti: just out of interest, does Windows connect ok? | 00:27 |
| Floyd42 | branicyeti: can you go to /var/log and check the messages file to see what the error message is? | 00:28 |
| Dragons | yeah, but even then, there isn't issues connecting just remembering your encryption password | 00:28 |
| BranicYeti | Floyd42: your-message | 00:29 |

| Floyd42 | rosspaterson14: I've used it once to transfer music, but it took *ages* | 00:31 |
| sfears | RossPaterson14: try banshee | 00:31 |
| RossPaterson14 | gtkpod and Amarok dont even recognise it | 00:32 |
| foolsh | jbwiv___: 'export VARIABLE_NAME=VARIABLE_VALUE' | 00:32 |
| Floyd42 | I've noticed that Rhythmbox probably has the best ipod/iphone support | 00:32 |
| RossPaterson14 | i dont really have high hopes for a new player | 00:32 |
| Floyd42 | But obviously, I could only transfer music and nothing else. So, had to install Windows + iTunes. | 00:32 |
| RossPaterson14 | im thinking it might be a backend/library problem | 00:32 |
| jbwiv___ | foolsh, that works if you're in a terminal, but that won't export those variables to applications within gnome session. I found the answer though...it appears you have to put it in .gnomerc | 00:32 |

| * foolsh wonders is there is a iptables parser for resting | 01:54 | |
| nimbiotics | cas | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: What are you trying to change about grub? There are GUI configuration editors but I personally recommend simply configuring grub normally via /etc/default/grub. | 01:55 |
| foolsh | resting: You sound as if you want to jump right in to remote server administration, See http://www.webmin.com it's real handy for remote administration. and has native ubuntu packages | 01:56 |
| adante | hi | 01:56 |
| adante | i'm using the au.archive.ubuntu.com but when i try to upgrade it downloads 500 meg of packages and then fails because it can't find some | 01:57 |
| adante | are the au archives out of date? is this normal? what is the easiest way to resolve this? | 01:57 |
| resting | foolsh: actually i just need to change the port of the ftp server. as well as the ssh port if i can change the ftp in the first place | 01:57 |
| resting | i suspect its the iptables. coz if i flush it, i could use filezilla to connect | 01:58 |
| cocolos | how do I check if SELinux is enabled? | 01:58 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Adante: do a sudo apt-get update, then try again. That happens when the package lists are out of date | 01:59 |
| Jordan_U | cocolos: Ubuntu uses AppArmor, not SELinux. | 01:59 |
| adante | IntuitiveNipple: wow, the upgrade does not update beforehand? | 01:59 |
| cocolos | Jordan_U: Well I guess I don't have it but the reason is I am still having trouble with cuda | 01:59 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Adante: sometimes things can get out of sync if the archive is being refreshed | 02:00 |

| jorel | hey whats a good way to learn ubuntu_linux commands for a noob? | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | BlueProtoman: And yes, just removing the ppa is *not* enough without also reverting/removing all of the packages which you installed from those PPAs. | 02:32 |

| Jordan_U | BlueProtoman: Yes. | 02:33 |
| BlueProtoman | There has to be a script I can use or something. | 02:33 |

| mongo | jorel: use them, and remember the man and apropos commads :) | 02:33 |
| BlueProtoman | Jordan_U: OK, so I know I can use bash to automate this whole mess, except that I don't know bash. So how can I use it to go through my entire PPA list and purge everything for me? | 02:34 |
| jorel | so I show skimped out on using the software center and type everything | 02:34 |

| alankila | nmatrix9: okay, sounds like a fakeraid then. You're probably best off disabling it from your BIOS which should release the 4 drives as separate entities and then use mdadm over it. Alternatively you can just go with the current solution if it seems that this single device already works and performs well. | 03:11 |

| theraflu | After grub | 03:18 |
| frodo | ty | 03:19 |
| jrib | !sudo | frodo | 03:19 |
| ubottu | frodo: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 03:19 |
| jrib | sudo -i instead of sudo su please | 03:19 |
| theraflu | !nomodeset | 03:20 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:20 |
| frodo | The system will only allow the first account created on the system to use sudo -su | 03:21 |
| iananananan | Open source drive wiper? | 03:21 |
| rypervenche | jrib: Why sudo -i over sudo su -? | 03:24 |
| jrib | rypervenche: that isn't as bad except it calls two programs when you can just call one instead | 03:24 |
| rypervenche | jrib: So it does exactly the same thing then? | 03:25 |
| jrib | rypervenche: it does not do the same thing afaik. It may have the same effective result (but I also do not know this) | 03:26 |

| machiolate | anyone happen to know in html which websites are we generally able to link to without having to worry about any kind of infringement if any at all? (from a personal webpage) | 03:29 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | chu, the computer should be capable of doing xfce; it's a 1.8GHz sempron with 512 mb of RAM | 03:29 |
| machiolate | i.e. intellectual property or some trash like that | 03:29 |

| Sir_Fawnpug | machiolate, that probably depends on your jurisdiction. | 03:29 |

| Sir_Fawnpug | machiolate, ##law might be a better place to ask that though. | 03:29 |
| chu | Sir_Fawnpug: That might just be too light to really run XFCE (or KDE, or Unity). You might want to go LXDE for a somewhat snappier computer. | 03:30 |
| machiolate | ok, thanks sir fawnpug | 03:30 |
| mikeliss | Anybody know how to dump the entire screen scrollback buffer to file? | 03:32 |
| mikeliss | Or how to determine the scrollback buffer length? | 03:32 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | chu, I haven't been keeping up with desktop environments so I'll need to see if xfce will work. Unity-2D is a bit sluggish right now. | 03:33 |
| frodo | What is the name of the base kde package? | 03:33 |
| quiescens | mikeliss: hardcopy | 03:34 |
| mikeliss | quiescens: I just tried that...looks like it only gave me the visible part of the scrollback buffer? | 03:34 |
| quiescens | i don't suppose you looked at the docs for it? | 03:34 |
| quiescens | there should be a -h option | 03:34 |
| mikeliss | quiescens: I did, but I use screen so infrequently they're all greek to me (e.g: (C-a h, C-a C-h)) | 03:35 |
| quiescens | mikeliss: you can Ca : | 03:36 |

| frustrated2 | I am quite frustrated. I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper. I put off purchasing a new work laptop until the 12.4 release. I was excited to upgrade from 10.4. I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to find a desktop I can use. I loved Gnome2/Compiz. Unity is very aggravating. Gnome3 and KDE are also foreign. In all I have tried almost a dozen desktops. Is there a way to get my Gnome2/Compiz back? Or should I give up and find an | 03:37 |
| frustrated2 | other distro? | 03:37 |
| Guest55920 | Ok Thanks NickServ | 03:37 |
| mikeliss | quiescens: I think Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+SHIFT+: is doing it...never used it this way before. | 03:37 |
| Guest55920 | i wanna add office in bt5 how do i please advice | 03:38 |
| mikeliss | quiescens: So then I do hardcopy -h filename.txt, and it doesn't seem to do anything more than the visible part of the screen. | 03:38 |

| === quiesense is now known as quiescens | ||
| quiescens | mikeliss: either your output was drawn by something using absolute screen positioning commands, or your scrollback is set really low or off | 03:45 |
| mikeliss | quiescens: Doing C-a i tells me that it's set to 1024 lines...no idea why hardcopying it doesn't work. | 03:45 |
| mikeliss | quiescens: In any case, I'm filing a bug that 1024 is WAY too low. Can't imagine why it's not 100,000 or something. | 03:46 |
| quiescens | mikeliss: shrug, the one i just tried gave me 1042 lines | 03:46 |
| quiescens | mikeliss: i doubt there will be a bug accepted for what is a configurable setting | 03:47 |
| mikeliss | quiescens: Yeah....seems to be the default, which makes sense if you have, say 2MB of RAM, but every now and then it can save you...times like now, for example, and it sucks when it doesn't work. | 03:47 |

| mikeliss | quiescens: I haven't changed the default though to my knowledge. | 03:48 |
| quiescens | mikeliss: man page says the default is 100 as far as screen is concerned | 03:49 |

| kandinski | oh, ta! | 04:11 |
| k014 | hello everyone!, what is the correct way to remove/edit an entry in grub? (ubuntu 12.04, fresh install), anyone? | 04:12 |
| wylde | kandinski: from the sound of the last comment it may be a connection issue of some sort. | 04:12 |
| Jordan_U | k014: OK, to do that you'll need to first copy your normal Windows menu entry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg to /boot/grub/custom.cfg, then disable os-prober by adding GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub and then run "sudo update-grub". | 04:12 |
| rumpe1 | k014, edit: use an editor, be careful to edit according to the format, remove: just commenting an entry is often a good idea | 04:13 |
| deeprogram | do you know good source.list for China / | 04:13 |
| deeprogram | ? | 04:13 |
| k014 | rumpe1: comment in what file? | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | rumpe1: k014: /boot/grub/grub.cfg is completely re-written every time a new kernel is installed, so editing it directly isn't very effective. | 04:13 |
| * kasper runs | 04:13 | |
| k014 | Jordan_U: sounds the right way | 04:13 |
| rumpe1 | k014, if the first character in a line in fstab file is a #, it is a comment and not an active entry anymore | 04:14 |
| frodo | I think I got the problem fixed. | 04:14 |
| rumpe1 | Jordan_U, k014 uh... right. Sorry. I thought it was about fstab file. | 04:14 |
| kasper | fstab != mtab | 04:15 |
| k014 | nono, i want just to remove an entry in grub | 04:15 |
| rumpe1 | k014, well ... the recommended way is to remove/edit the script that generates that entry (/etc/grub.d ) | 04:16 |
| k014 | i have 2 windows related entries in grub, the second one is dangeours, because is a recovery envoronment, and with my dualboot setup, is causing infinite reboot loops | 04:16 |
| Jordan_U | rumpe1: k014: You should almost never need to edit anything in /etc/grub.d/. | 04:17 |
| k014 | rumpe1: but /etc/grub.d/ is a folder | 04:17 |
| rumpe1 | Jordan_U, ... but? | 04:17 |

| rumpe1 | Jordan_U, but which other configuration/file? | 04:18 |
| Jordan_U | rumpe1: See the instructions I gave to k014 earlier in this conversation, specifically /etc/default/grub for settings and /boot/grub/custom.cfg for custom menu entries. | 04:18 |

| === Savage_Chief is now known as LUEshi | ||
| k014 | oh yeah, but i want to learn how to do it console-way | 04:19 |
| k014 | ok /boot/grub/custom.cfg doesn't exists | 04:20 |
| k014 | orcustom file is a backup of grub.cfg? | 04:20 |
| Jordan_U | k014: You need to create it. | 04:21 |
| k014 | ok i did; sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/custom.cfg | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | k014: No. | 04:22 |
| k014 | ok | 04:22 |
| rumpe1 | Jordan_U, do you know how to call the manpage for custom.cfg? | 04:22 |
| Jordan_U | rumpe1: info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' | 04:23 |
| rumpe1 | Jordan_U, thanks a lot | 04:23 |
| k014 | ok i did: | 04:23 |
| k014 | sudo rm /boot/grub/custom.cfg; sudo touch /boot/grub/custom.cfg | 04:23 |
| k014 | now, i have a empty custom.cfg file | 04:23 |
| k014 | what now | 04:23 |
| Jordan_U | k014: /boot/grub/custom.cfg is read after the rest of the entries from /boot/grub/grub.cfg. You want /boot/grub/custom.cfg to only contain your custom Windows entry (since GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true will get rid of the automatically added one). | 04:24 |
| rumpe1 | Jordan_U, well... it says that it's just for adding custom entries at the end of the menu and deleting specific entries has to be done by changing the scripts in /etc/grub.d | 04:24 |
| k014 | adding GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub and then run "sudo update-grub".... OK | 04:24 |
| Jordan_U | rumpe1: See the part about GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER | 04:24 |

| Omi_ubuntu | hello i am facing some problem can anybody help me up? | 04:25 |
| k014 | Jordan_U: oh, ok, custom is for additional entries, how about to remove/edit | 04:25 |
| c_smith | improvshark, does your ISP allow static IP? | 04:25 |
| improvshark | i think so i had one working before i reinstalled to 12.04 | 04:26 |
| rumpe1 | Jordan_U, uh... ok. Sounds not like a nice solution though to just deactivate the prober. | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | k014: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub will remove all entries for OSs other than Ubuntu. | 04:26 |
| c_smith | Omi_ubuntu, do not ask that before asking your main question, just ask about the problem you have from the getgo. | 04:26 |

| c_smith | improvshark, ok, I have no other experience to offer any help there. | 04:26 |

| k014 | aaah ok | 04:27 |
| c_smith | improvshark, no prob, hopefully you get an answer! :) | 04:27 |
| Jordan_U | k014: Have you actually run "sudo update-grub" after adding GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub yet? If not, don't do so yet. | 04:27 |
| k014 | ok | 04:28 |

| Jordan_U | k014: Now you edit /etc/default/grub to have GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true and run "sudo update-grub" which will remove both Windows entries from /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which is OK because the one we want to keep is now in /boot/grub/custom.cfg . | 04:37 |

| yuri__ | tBag, my suggestion is to take root's configuration and empty it of sensitive data and put the remaining structure in the skeleton directory in /etc. | 07:11 |
| scottj | tBag-Tobiasz: maybe cp /root/.config /home/user | 07:11 |
| yuri__ | /etc/skel is used for the default file structure of any new users. :) | 07:12 |
| yuri__ | Whatever, ANYTHING (literally), in skel is copied by the adduser commands. | 07:12 |
| yuri__ | I use to run a MUSH server awhile back and had a fully untared and compiled copy of the altest PennMUSH sources in skel so everyone new had a clean and ready to go setup. | 07:13 |
| yuri__ | *server should have been host. ;) | 07:13 |
| yuri__ | As for your initial issue, tbag, I'd cp root's home directory over to something like root2 and clean up root2 and then cp root2's stuff over to /etc/skel and then all new users get access to the config you want them to have by default. :) | 07:14 |

| blackshirt | gbear14275: what you mean ? | 07:32 |
| yuri__ | Back in the day, when I was not afraid of breaking my computer, I use to make a temporary directory in /mnt and just mount willy-nilly and see what was there. If it told me it couldn't, I tried to figure out the resulting error. ;) | 07:33 |
| gbear14275 | blackshirt, when I open up my disk utility it lists 3 partitions. sda1 -- mounted at /, sda2 -- extended (0x05) the container for logical partitions, and sda5 which it doesn't give much info about | 07:33 |
| blackshirt | gbear14275: i think sda5 was your swap | 07:34 |
| gbear14275 | blackshirt, ah... might be... | 07:34 |
| Almindor | hey | 07:34 |
| blackshirt | hey Almindor | 07:34 |
| Almindor | I don't see removable drives icon in the unity side-panel since 12.04, is this a "design decision" or bug? | 07:34 |
| gbear14275 | hmm... that makes me even less happy. If I don't have a separate /home means i could be in for some pain if I lose / | 07:35 |
| blackshirt | gbear14275: just check agains | 07:35 |
| Almindor | e.g. if I plug in a usb (it's plugged ok and visible in nautilus) | 07:35 |
| Almindor | usb key | 07:35 |
| Almindor | it's not a big deal but kinda bothersome if I want to eject I have to open nautilus and do it from there | 07:35 |
| gbear14275 | blackshirt, yup your right... swap space... as a logical partition though? weird... | 07:36 |
| gbear14275 | I guess it doesn't matter though | 07:36 |
| gbear14275 | so when deja-dup does a backup... is it capturing encrypted or non-encrypted data? | 07:37 |
| _ferret_ | any way to map my windows video file folder to my ubunto video file folder? such as how you can do in win 7 | 07:37 |
| gbear14275 | _ferret_, are you asking if windows can do it? | 07:38 |
| yuri__ | I was just about to ask that. ;) | 07:38 |
| gbear14275 | _ferret_, ah, you mean can you set your windows video file as your ubuntu video file? | 07:39 |
| gbear14275 | so your ubuntu video file will open your windows video folder? | 07:39 |
| Almindor | nvm, found it in myunity | 07:40 |
| gbear14275 | Almindor, My removable drives show up in the unity dock when plugged in... | 07:40 |
| yuri__ | Sorry Almindor. But I'm glad you found it. :) | 07:40 |
| yuri__ | As for mounting your windows videos in place of your ubuntu videos, I would make sure your linux video folder is empty and run the following command: | 07:41 |
| loginix | i was hoping someone can help me | 07:41 |
| Almindor | I used beta 12.04 perhaps in beta they turned it off for some reason, it works fine now :) | 07:41 |
| gbear14275 | loginix, whats your question? | 07:42 |
| yuri__ | smbmount //<winpc>/<share> /<video directory> -o username=<windows username>,password=<win pass>,rw,uid=<your uid on linux> | 07:42 |
| loginix | i tried to install gimp 2.8 and just got errors and now i just need to remove final ppa | 07:42 |
| loginix | http://pastebin.com/mYYj1hab here is what my terminal is showing | 07:42 |
| gbear14275 | Almindor, I like my clean install... I figured an LTS was a good place to clean out the garbage from all my upgrades | 07:42 |
| yuri__ | Almindor, I've been hearing that certain servers are enabled in the final version while others are disabled in the finl version and vice-versa for the betas. So, it's a valid and logical conclusion. :) | 07:43 |
| Almindor | yeh I do that sometimes too | 07:43 |
| gbear14275 | loginix, are you using oneric? or precise? | 07:44 |
| yuri__ | _ferret_ I don't know if you saw my solution or not: smbmount //<winpc>/<share> /<video directory> -o username=<windows username>,password=<win pass>,rw,uid=<your uid on linux> | 07:44 |
| Almindor | what pissed me off on 12.04 were the fullscreen-game-breaking keyboard shortcuts | 07:44 |
| loginix | oneric | 07:44 |
| Almindor | I had to turn them off | 07:44 |
| loginix | gbear14275: oneirc | 07:44 |
| Almindor | e.g. alt+q etc. | 07:44 |
| Almindor | I think it was also a gtk3 issue tho, from what I understand it's about the "accessibility" thing (they should've researched and disabled when fullscreen is in effect) | 07:45 |
| gbear14275 | loginix, I can't tell what you would need to do from that... and am probably not the best person to ask. I'd try using synaptic to do a full uninstall and reinstall after clearing out any related PPA's | 07:45 |
| loginix | gbear14275: Thanks.. i knew i should have messed with 2.8 lol | 07:46 |
| gbear14275 | loginix, might work in 12.04? | 07:46 |
| loginix | gbear14275: i am on 12.04 | 07:47 |
| furyoshonen | how do I mount a drive in Unity? | 07:47 |
| gbear14275 | loginix, ah, then your on precise not oneric | 07:47 |
| gbear14275 | 11.10 is oneric | 07:48 |
| jost | hi | 07:48 |
| gbear14275 | http://www.noobslab.com/2012/04/install-gimp-28-on-ubuntu-1204-precise.html <-- try this loginix | 07:48 |

| andrija | why cant ubuntu recognize my internal mic? | 07:54 |
| sm1 | nimesh_accenture: i suggest you follow Troubleshooting Steps here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide | 07:56 |
| andrija | why cant ubuntu recognize my internal mic? | 07:56 |
| yuri__ | Nimesh, is you wireless card listed in ispci? | 07:57 |
| drake01 | nimesh_accenture: does `rfkill list all` command shows the cards blocked, try command `rfkill unblock all`.. | 07:58 |
| yuri__ | Nimesh, I did some fairly quick reading: It seems that you might need to get new firmware out of the aptitude repositories. I couldn't find anything specific on the firmware. Also, try running "ifconfig wlan0 up" from the console. | 07:59 |

| firc | hi people | 08:02 |
| firc | where can I see the dbus-daemon logs? | 08:02 |
| bazhang | !ufw | GNU_Linux_New | 08:03 |
| ubottu | GNU_Linux_New: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 08:03 |
| Onixs | fungshoi | 08:03 |
| firc | I'm getting some error saying the dbus-daemon died .. How can i see what exactly went wrong? | 08:03 |
| yuri__ | firc, try "locate dbus-daemon" and see if that helps you. :) | 08:03 |
| yuri__ | You can also try *dbus-daemon* in the locate command. | 08:04 |
| firc | yuri__: nope, no log files :( | 08:04 |
| yuri__ | firc, Hrm. I don't have dbus either on my system, for logs. Lets see what else I can find for you. :) | 08:04 |
| GNU_Linux_New | bazhang: is that automatic?? no i suppose i have to configure the rules | 08:05 |
| bazhang | GNU_Linux_New, the one for fedora has to be configured as well | 08:05 |
| yuri__ | firc Found it on mine. It's in auth.log for me. Try "grep dbus-daemon *" in your /var/log directory. | 08:06 |
| yuri__ | Or grep dbus-daemon /var/log/* | 08:06 |
| nimesh_accenture | drake01: rfkill list all does not show anything | 08:07 |
| GNU_Linux_New | bazhang: for example: i installed ufw on my ubuntu system and there is another system which has a printer shared, it does not show on the ubuntu system with ufw enabled although in fedora it asks for allowing incoming requests and thats done!! | 08:07 |

| deeprogram | wylde: what's your mean by " provided you got your source from the repos" | 08:19 |
| bazhang | deeprogram, not from some 3rd party website | 08:20 |
| MonkeyDust | deeprogram are you a programmer? | 08:20 |
| GNU_Linux_New | MonkeyDust: what rules do i normally require to add?? | 08:20 |
| L3top | !ppa | deeprogram | 08:20 |
| ubottu | deeprogram: 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 | 08:20 |
| wylde | deeprogram: that means I don't think apt-get build-dep will work with 3rd party sources. I don't know for sure because I haven't tried. | 08:20 |
| MonkeyDust | GNU_Linux_New never tried to change anything, only know the basics of ip-tables | 08:20 |
| deeprogram | wylde: so you mean the problem maybe from third source ? | 08:21 |
| L3top | typically is. | 08:21 |
| Jordan_U | solarbaby: Did you use automatic or manual partitioning? What happens when you try to boot? | 08:22 |
| wylde | deeprogram: I'm saying that apt-get build-dep command may not be able to find the dependencies for you. You have to hunt the down manually. | 08:22 |
| wylde | them* | 08:22 |
| GNU_Linux_New | MonkeyDust: have u ever used a firewall in windows machine, they are automatic and they block almost everything that tries to change any system file or block internet attacks | 08:22 |
| wylde | deeprogram: that's where apt-file can come in handy :) | 08:22 |

| ruman1 | hi every one | 08:27 |
| GNU_Linux_New | FIREWALL | 08:27 |
| ruman1 | i have ubuntu 11.10 i my pc...i want to install windows server 2008 over this...would it work after installing windows server 2008 | 08:29 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: I installed Ubuntu to my firewire drive and used the entire drive. I partitioned manually and it got through half the install and failed. Then with out rebooting (Because I was in the Live install) I clicked on install again, and it allowed me to use all my same partition settings with out fuss.. it just said it would delete it and reuse it.. and it finished the install sucesffully the second time around. Then i went to reboot and grub or | 08:29 |
| MonkeyDust | ruman1 windows will overwrite the grub menu, you will have to repair it | 08:29 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: to clarify my OSX is still intact on my internal drive.. it just doesn't boot from Ubuntu on my firewire drive | 08:29 |
| Jordan_U | solarbaby: Your comment was cut off at "Then i went to reboot and grub or". | 08:30 |
| ruman1 | any one cal tell me that ubuntu 11.10 works after installing server 2008 | 08:30 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: ... Then I went to reboot and grub or lilo must not be setup right because it doesn't see my OS | 08:30 |
| ruman1 | MonkeyDust, after reparing can i use both OS | 08:31 |
| MonkeyDust | ruman1 yes | 08:32 |
| wylde | ruman1: as long as you don't overwrite the current ubuntu partition. | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | solarbaby: I know that Apple's BIOS implementation has issues with USB, it probably has issues with firewire as well. You can work around this by installing grub-efi (but booting via EFI will cause issues with linux graphics drivers) or by creating a small /boot/ partition on your internal drive. | 08:32 |
| ruman1 | ok...thanks both of you | 08:32 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: I installed refit but I doubt thats what your talking about | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | solarbaby: It's not. | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | solarbaby: By the way, in most IRC clients you can see all of your past comments, and others comments to you, with "/lastlog solarbaby" ( and usually "/lastlog clear" to get rid of the clutter /lastlog creates). | 08:34 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: so i'm better off installing this internally then? | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | solarbaby: That will make things easier, yes. | 08:34 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: Thanks! I setup irssi but its not working right.. even the hilight window at the top is displaying everything but hilights | 08:34 |
| MonkeyDust | solarbaby i use irssi too, type /set and use page up and down to read the different options, hilight is on of them | 08:37 |
| MonkeyDust | one* | 08:38 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: if I only installed the /boot partition on my internal drive, and the rest on the firewire drive.. might that be all your suggesting? | 08:38 |
| misha777 | #ubuntu-ru | 08:38 |
| solarbaby | MonkeyDust: Thanks! everytime I setup Hilight in the split window it seems to work and then I /save layout and by the next time I log in, its glitchy.. showing me the wrong stuff | 08:39 |
| wylde | !ru | misha777 | 08:39 |

| Jordan_U | solarbaby: That should work. | 08:39 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: I think I can manage that | 08:40 |
| _ferret_ | my windows drive, what is it called in Ubuntu? | 08:40 |
| Jordan_U | solarbaby: Make sure that grub's boot sector gets installed to the MBR of your internal drive (*not* to a partition, and not to the firewire drive). | 08:41 |
| MonkeyDust | _ferret_ usually, it's /dev/sda1 | 08:41 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: good tip I'm sure. | 08:42 |
| gaelfx | ferret_: what are you trying to do? | 08:42 |
| solarbaby | Jordan_U: I better get to work on backing up my 3 year old install of osx, just in case | 08:42 |
| MonkeyDust | _ferret_ in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l, NTFS is the windows partition | 08:42 |
| wylde | solarbaby: +1 for backing up! | 08:43 |
| solarbaby | Yay! | 08:43 |
| linuxtech | ferret could run lshw and look for it under disk. | 08:43 |
| Jordan_U | solarbaby: Also, do *not* use boot camp (it creates an ugly "hybrid" mbr) and be sure to make a BIOS Boot Partition (where grub's core.img will be embedded) in addition to the /boot/ partition. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#BIOS-installation | 08:44 |

| kerloi | Hi all. Does anyone know a reason for not beeing able to update to kubuntu 12.04. I mean the update is not detected either through muon-updater or with 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ... | 09:08 |
| Carpe|Diem | linuxtech: Thank you, looks promising :D | 09:08 |
| Qasaur | alright | 09:09 |
| Qasaur | what it is doing | 09:09 |
| geekwani | but thr exist some ppas, like webupd8 which offer using ppa | 09:09 |
| Qasaur | it's stuck on 0% | 09:09 |
| geekwani | i mean they offer java using ppa method | 09:09 |
| wylde | kerloi: until point release 12.04.1 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' | 09:09 |
| MonkeyDust | geekwani mind: ppas are not supported here | 09:09 |
| geekwani | but i guess i'll stick to method 1 | 09:09 |
| Qasaur | It says for example Get:1 *archive* *file size | 09:09 |
| geekwani | ok sorry | 09:09 |
| Qasaur | and then only 0% | 09:09 |

| wylde | kerloi: ahhh bugger, my bad, kubuntu may be different. hmmm.. Have you asked in #kubuntu? | 09:12 |
| Qasaur | Perhaps it has something to do with the school firewall? And if so, is there a way to bypass it? | 09:12 |
| kerloi | wylde: Yes but the chan is pretty dead :) | 09:12 |
| linuxtech | Backup for my friend not going well... No space left on device | 09:13 |

| kerloi | wylde: nop thx anyway | 09:14 |

| Qasaur | There are no errors wylde | 09:14 |
| Qasaur | It doesn't download at all, it's stuck on 0% on the package | 09:15 |

| Halabund | I was trying to install Precise from a Live CD, but the Live CD won't boot. (I verified the CD after burning, and I ran the installer's built-in verifier too, the data on the CD is NOT corrupted). The booting process hangs after about 5 minutes. I see the Ubuntu logo in the middle of the screen and the dots below stop moving. | 09:15 |
| wylde | Qasaur: and you run sudo apt-get update before installing packages? | 09:16 |
| Qasaur | Yeah. | 09:16 |
| Halabund | How can I find out how to fix this? | 09:16 |
| wylde | !nomodeset | Halabund | 09:16 |
| ubottu | Halabund: 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 | 09:16 |
| Qasaur | I updated at home and apparently when I update here it doesn't work | 09:16 |
| Qasaur | No errors what so ever | 09:16 |
| wylde | Qasaur: school network could be preventing access but it shouldn't. Have you tried using a different mirror? | 09:17 |
| Qasaur | Yeah. | 09:17 |
| Qasaur | Is it the port that is blocked? | 09:17 |
| Halabund | wylde, it doesn't show a corrupted splash screen. It goes on for some minutes, then it freezes completely. Turning off the splash screen so I can see the messages reveals that it freezes either at "configuring network" or a few steps later. It's unpredictable. | 09:17 |
| Qasaur | I'll paste the output onto a pastebin and link it here wylde | 09:17 |
| wylde | Qasaur: ok, that'll help | 09:18 |

| VivekVC | How do I boot Ubuntu 12.04 in rescue mode ? | 09:19 |
| wylde | Halabund: ahh alrighty. Is it always at approximately the same satge in each attempt? | 09:19 |
| wylde | stage* | 09:19 |
| Qasaur | wylde: http://pastebin.com/kx8KmN3Z | 09:20 |
| wylde | VivekVC: reboot, hold shift after the bios passes and choose recovery (assuming you only have ubuntu installed) | 09:20 |
| Halabund | wylde, it's usually after these two lines: "configuring network security" and "configuring network". But twice it went some 3-4 steps further. I tried maybe 4 times, sometimes with a network cable connected, sometimes not. | 09:20 |
| VivekVC | wylde: ok | 09:21 |
| wylde | Halabund: does this system have wired AND wireless networking? I'm wondering if a driver module is hanging the boot process. | 09:21 |
| Qasaur | wylde: Did you check that link? | 09:21 |
| Halabund | wylde, I removed the "quiet" and "splash" options to try to find out what's going on, but this is all I could see. Is there anything else I can try? It takes extremely long to reboot, try, fail, reboot to windows again, come to chat, so the more ideas you could suggest to try at the same time the better :) | 09:22 |
| wylde | Qasaur: looking , patience pls. I'm multi-tasking lol | 09:22 |
| Qasaur | heh | 09:22 |
| Halabund | wylde, yes, it has both. It's a very old laptop (6 years). The last version of Ubuntu installed fine (I still have it, but wanted a clean install) | 09:22 |
| VivekVC | wylde: How do I choose recovery ? | 09:23 |
| wylde | Halabund: I'm kind of suspecting a network driver, for testing purposes, can you disable the wirless in the bios? | 09:23 |
| wylde | there should be an option in the grub boot menu. | 09:23 |
| wylde | VivekVC: ^^ | 09:23 |
| VivekVC | ok | 09:23 |
| Halabund | wylde, alright, I'll try that. But I'd like to not that the wirless never worked out of the box (I always needed to install the b43 driver). ANy other suggestions before I reboot? | 09:24 |
| wylde | Qasaur: hmmm, does it do that with all packages? | 09:24 |
| Qasaur | wylde: Yeah | 09:24 |
| jellytot | hey guys. do you know of a way to determine how many physical hard disks are in a linux system? | 09:24 |

| VivekVC | wylde: Which line in the grub should I edit ? | 09:24 |

| jellytot | Blarrffll, thanks man | 09:26 |
| jellytot | I was specifying a disk with fdisk but if you dont it prints all the disks? | 09:26 |
| Jordan_U | VivekVC: No need to edit any lines, there is an entry labeled "recovery mode" which already contains the correct kernel parameter. | 09:26 |
| Qasaur | wylde: It's obviously something wrong with the firewall at school | 09:26 |
| Qasaur | wylde: As it works flawlessly at home | 09:27 |
| wylde | VivekVC: sec, there's a QUIET option you need to comment out since you can't use the shift key for the VM afaik | 09:27 |

| lgp171188 | Hi, I recently purchased a HP G4 1201tx laptop for my fiancee. It comes with a AMD Radeon HD 6470M GPU. It had Windows 7 installed by default and I found that the computer uses some hybrid GPU stuff. Here is the output of lspci | grep VGA - http://pastebin.com/wMjYmdDr. The installation and booting into the OS after installation didn't work without nomodeset option. | 09:49 |

| Shanth | after trying sudo update-grub win7 option is still not removed . but i'm sure i had formated win7 partition with ext4 FS , but win 7 loader is still present ...what to do now ? | 09:50 |

| gaelfx | I'm trying to use NFS to mount the /home from my other computer on the same network (that computer is wired, this one is wireless), but I changed my fstab entry for the NFS mount, now it's not mounting it on startup any more (it was before). How can I fix it? | 10:20 |
| luckymurali | hi all | 10:21 |
| wylde | Peanut: what package was the bug in? | 10:21 |
| MonkeyDust | gaelfx add your local pc in /etc/eports on the remote pc | 10:21 |
| MonkeyDust | gaelfx that's /etc/exports | 10:22 |

| luckymurali | svnserve: Can't bind server socket: Address already in use . I really dont know what is the application in that address | 10:22 |
| gaelfx | MonkeyDust: I mean I edited the fstab on the client, not the server | 10:23 |
| luckymurali | how to fix that?. please help me | 10:23 |

| u1_ | Unfortunately the user of the other computer connected to u1 got a different name to u1, but also exists on this computer with the same name, say user1. But user1 here got already a different encrypted home directory. So I want mount the ecryptfs encrypted .Private from user1 delivered to /home/u1/.Private on this computer by the ubuntu one cloud service. But that fails. If I first try to change user by su - gerhard, then it will do nothing, be | 10:23 |

| bricktea | so | 10:24 |
| bricktea | anyone any ideas how to install RDKit on ubuntu ? | 10:25 |
| bricktea | i followed the installation guide to the letter | 10:25 |
| bricktea | still doesn't work | 10:25 |
| MonkeyDust | gaelfx still, have you added your client's ip or hostname in /etc/exports on your server? | 10:25 |
| jondot | as a general guideline - is it always safe to install updates from update mananger? | 10:25 |
| gaelfx | MonkeyDust: yeah | 10:26 |
| Adzz | Anyone here good with setting up Java/JRE on ubuntu? | 10:27 |
| wylde | jondot: if you only have ubuntu sources in your /etc/apt/sources.list sure. | 10:27 |
| jondot | wylde, ok | 10:28 |
| gaelfx | MonkeyDust: like I said, it worked before, just after I changed the options in fstab clientside, it won't mount | 10:28 |
| wylde | jondot: once you start playing with 3rd party ppa's though you're on your own. Just so you know. :) | 10:28 |
| jondot | another q - with 12.04, there is no more a sun java package, correct? | 10:29 |
| Adzz | correct | 10:29 |
| wylde | gaelfx: I assume you already tried reverting to the previous options oon the client? | 10:29 |
| Adzz | jondot: correct | 10:29 |
| jondot | ok | 10:29 |
| Adzz | jondot: im having problems installing it aswell :P | 10:30 |

| vespakoen | Hey guys, I updated my ubuntu yesterday, now some links start a browser called "web" (that is what's in the about page) how do i get rid of this thing ? | 10:32 |
| wylde | gaelfx: not sure if this will help --- 192.168.2.18:/home/wylde/print/Print /home/wylde/PDF nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0 | 10:32 |
| wylde | gaelfx: that works for my nfs mount | 10:33 |
| gaelfx | wylde: ah, it's not nfs4? The ubuntu documentation says to mount it as type nfs4 with options _netdev,auto (but says not to use _netdev on wifi). Maybe it needs updating | 10:34 |
| vespakoen | found it, it was Epiphany | 10:34 |
| wylde | gaelfx: yeah it is supposed to be nfs4, however using that as FS wouldn't mount | 10:35 |
| gaelfx | wylde: thanks, I'll try it and bbs | 10:35 |
| wylde | gaelfx: alrighty :) | 10:35 |
| gaelfx | wylde: no dice, I guess maybe I have to check if I really did add my client's hostname to the server's list | 10:39 |
| wylde | gaelfx: ahh alrighty. :( | 10:39 |
| foobArrr | I'm looking for a program to take notes in pdfs. what I need: annotations, insert text, simple freehand drawing, arrows, underline/marker. | 10:40 |
| gaelfx | MonkeyDust: that's in /etc/default/nfs-common, right? | 10:40 |
| gaelfx | wylde: crap, I'm an idiot | 10:40 |
| gaelfx | wylde: while we were talking, I guess it got mounted :P | 10:41 |
| wylde | gaelfx: uht-oh that doesn't sound good lol | 10:41 |
| wylde | gaelfx: lol :) | 10:41 |
| jondot | Adzz, its working for me | 10:41 |
| Adzz | jondot, how are you testing it? | 10:41 |
| jondot | Adzz, 'java', 'javac' | 10:42 |
| ericP | what sources should i have for 12.04? i've got a broken dependency on libc6:i386 2.15-0ubuntu10 | 10:42 |
| wylde | foobArrr: 'apt-cache search pdf editor' might yield some choices. | 10:42 |
| gaelfx | wylde: it does seem to load the file lists incredibly slowly, although when I open a video it plays more or less fine | 10:42 |
| Adzz | jondot, ok im trying it with Minecraft now :P | 10:43 |
| gaelfx | actually, that's the problem I was trying to solve when I screwed up fstab | 10:43 |
| wylde | gaelfx: ahh there may be a difference in performance not being nfs4, I don't need an real performance sine that nfs mount of mine is just a dropbox for pdf's that need to be printed :) | 10:43 |
| jondot | Adzz, is this minecraft thing free, btw? | 10:43 |
| wylde | wow, illiterate fingers or what! >.< | 10:43 |
| gaelfx | wylde: gotcha | 10:44 |

| cval | Yesterday I updated from 11.10 to 12.04. Everything is fine, but what's happened with Monospace font? | 10:59 |
| geeko | hi guys.....my father has a weak eye sight ....and in doc(docky) he can't see which icon is active...........so is there a way to make the active icons large .......like it is the case in macintosh | 10:59 |
| === max is now known as Guest84368 | ||
| fidel_ | geeko: maybe ask in #docky too | 11:01 |
| fidel_ | geeko: considered using another dock as other option? just as additional idea | 11:02 |
| geeko | which dock u r tryin 2 point at | 11:02 |
| fidel_ | geeko: maybe awn | 11:02 |
| fidel_ | i somehow remember it has several highlight options - but not 100% sure as im not using it either | 11:03 |
| ericP | could someone with a working precise box tell me if they have ia32-libs 20090808ubuntu35 installed? | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | awn has so many options its scary | 11:03 |
| geeko | i think this feature is not good in awn either | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | what feature? | 11:04 |
| fidel_ | Dr_willis: tons of options yep - but afaik it has the one geeko was asking for in the first place. highlight current app | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | awn here - puts a little box/shaded box around the selected app that has the focus. | 11:05 |
| fidel_ | Dr_willis: thats just one of several options ;) | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | and an arrow below the icon that have a currently running app. | 11:05 |
| ericP | mine says depends on ia32-libs-multiarch and ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 20090808ubuntu35 depends on xaw3dg, xaw3dg:i386 1.5+E-18.1ubuntu1 depends on libc6 (>= 2.4) (which is now at libc6:i386 2.15-0ubuntu10) | 11:06 |
| Dr_willis | I thought Docky had a similer feature. | 11:06 |
| ericP | also, i'd like to know what version of libc6 is in precise | 11:06 |
| ericP | (ubuntu 12.04, iirc) | 11:06 |
| Dr_willis | i was about to install docky.. but i see that would pull in a lot of Mono stuff.. so i will pass on Docky. :) | 11:07 |

| Shanth | how to start gdm automatically | 11:17 |
| Dr_willis | Shanth, when its isntalled it should ask what xdm to use.. or use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' to select it | 11:18 |
| === rebourn_ is now known as rebourn | ||
| Shanth | no, i'm alwactually i need to startx automaticlly how to do it .. | 11:19 |
| Dr_willis | Shanth, depends on the details of what yoyu want. You can make gdm or lightdm auto login to a specific user. | 11:20 |
| Shanth | but after installing gdm does not starts automatically | 11:20 |
| auronandace | Shanth: make sure grub doesn't have the text option enabled | 11:20 |
| Dr_willis | what does start? | 11:20 |
| auronandace | !text | Shanth | 11:21 |
| ubottu | Shanth: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 11:21 |
| andreja | join #smrpo | 11:21 |
| Dr_willis | on my desktop system i just did a 'sudo apt-get install gdm' and it asked what *dm to use. | 11:21 |
| Dr_willis | or use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' and select gdm, or back to whatever other dm you want to try | 11:22 |
| Shanth | gdm give gui to login , if i run gdm from terminal it works , but whenever i boot it does not starts automatically | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | so when you boot.. what DOES it go to? console? lightdm? | 11:23 |
| Shanth | console | 11:23 |
| Dr_willis | like auronandace mentioned. check your /etc/default/grub to make sure the text option is not enabled. | 11:23 |
| Dr_willis | was ths a desktop or server install? | 11:23 |
| Shanth | yes | 11:24 |
| Shanth | desktop | 11:24 |
| Dr_willis | was lightdm working? | 11:24 |
| Shanth | no lightdm is not working | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | all i had to do to replace it with gdm here was apt-get install gdm, and select gdm. so not sure what else you may have done | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | could try a 'sudo service gdm start' and look for any errors I guess | 11:27 |
| Shanth | service gdm start no error found the process is running correctly | 11:28 |
| Dr_willis | try 'restart' perhaps? that may kill off X. :) | 11:29 |

| VictorCL | wget URL >/dev/null 2>&1 or /dev/null 2>&1 or -0 /dev/null | 11:40 |
| MonkeyDust | Hariezg in a terminal, type lsb_release -sd | 11:40 |
| VictorCL | whici is the correct one? | 11:40 |
| drdozer1 | sorry, geforce 9800 GT EE | 11:40 |
| Hariezg | @MonkeyDust ok thanks i'm will try it | 11:40 |
| lapion | Dr_willis, then you get an outdated upgrade.. I used to do it with the "jail" option but that can mess up a running system if you don't stop it before changes are made ( even though only temporary) | 11:41 |
| Hariezg | how to I get xubuntu to 12.04 but i'm don't re-install my xubuntu? | 11:42 |
| Dr_willis | lapion, Huh? | 11:42 |
| fidel_ | VictorCL: both parameter variants of lsb_release will work | 11:42 |
| MonkeyDust | lapion jail? | 11:43 |
| Dr_willis | Hariezg, you can upgrade to the latest release it will heep what ever desktops you got installed and upgrade them | 11:43 |
| fidel_ | Hariezg: on which version are you currently? | 11:43 |
| lapion | I meant: do-release-upgrade -s, --sandbox Test upgrade with a sandbox aufs overlay | 11:43 |
| Hariezg | @fidel_ my version 11.10 and i'm will install 12.04 | 11:44 |
| fidel_ | Hariezg: so run the upgrade as usual and that should be all you need to do | 11:44 |
| drdozer1 | Dr_willis: the only file that seems to get touched on boot is /var/log/wtmp | 11:44 |
| lapion | MonkeyDust, I meant: do-release-upgrade -s, --sandbox Test upgrade with a sandbox aufs overlay | 11:46 |

| lapion | MonkeyDust, I have done -s in the past because all change are temporary, except for the downloaded debs, however -s has been broken recently, and now even do-relaese-upgrade itself has been broken | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | LgL, if its the proper image file. that can work for 11.10 and 12.04 | 11:50 |

| LgL | yes it is.. of= target ? | 11:51 |
| fidel_ | Hariezg: we can only guess how long it might take. it will depend on the mirrors you are using - your connection speed and tons of other factors | 11:51 |
| LgL | if= source | 11:51 |
| MonkeyDust | if = input file | 11:51 |

| OerHeks | geekwani, so 64 bit, obviously | 12:37 |
| geekwani | so u mean that it shouldnt be a problem running 32-bits software on 64-bit ubuntu (in general) | 12:37 |

| Bumble-Bee | drdozer1 you have the same issue ? | 12:51 |
| drdozer1 | Bumble-Bee: no - my machine doesn't get that far - it hangs after grub but before anyhting is written to any logs | 12:52 |
| fidel_ | Bumble-Bee: is lightdm(or gdm/kdm ..) running at that point? | 12:52 |
| fidel_ | any error-output? | 12:52 |
| majd | Hey #ubuntu, i have a problem: i'm setting up an SSL certificate on my nginx server. Usually, SSL binds to port 443. I work from a public library, which has a ton of ports blocked, including the default 22, so i'm SSHing into the server from port 443 (which is open) | 12:53 |
| Bumble-Bee | drdozer1 have you tried recovery mode from the older kernels in the grub menu ? | 12:53 |

| drdozer1 | after grub, before anything is written to any logs | 12:53 |

| coelhao | can someone tell me how can i boot into text mode in ubuntu? i'm using an image for a board booting with uboot instead of grub | 13:27 |
| ratcheer | scott_ubu: There is a thread about it on Ubuntu Forums | 13:28 |
| scott_ubu | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450 but it's reported not to work. I did try it but upon reboot I get a black screen :( | 13:29 |
| ratcheer | HelenB: I just did that last week in OpenBox. If you think it will help, I can tell you what I did. | 13:29 |
| HelenB | ratcheer: But I'm using e17 | 13:30 |
| ikonia | HelenB: you just launch it, you won't be able to dock it or anything as obviously you're not using the gnome desktop | 13:31 |
| ratcheer | HelenB: I know. Never mind, it is probably different. | 13:31 |

| cody__ | HELLO! I NEED HELP! | 13:32 |
| cody__ | plz | 13:32 |
| ikonia | cody__: then don't type in caps and just as a question in clear english | 13:32 |
| bricktea | oh god! I hate unity | 13:33 |
| bricktea | what have I done | 13:33 |
| cody__ | my does my ubuntu computer always shut down randomly??? | 13:33 |
| ikonia | bricktea: not really interested, if you don't like it, don't use it | 13:33 |
| HelenB | ikonia: Launch what? You're saying launch something but you're NOT saying what it is or what the command is! | 13:33 |
| ikonia | cody__: how does it shut down ? | 13:33 |
| cody__ | it just radomly says " going to sleep" | 13:33 |
| ratcheer | HelenB: It should be nm-applet | 13:33 |
| ikonia | HelenB: gnome-network-manager from memory, although you shouldn't have too much trouble figuring it out as it will be with the other gnome binaries | 13:33 |
| ikonia | cody__: going to sleep is suspend/hibernate | 13:34 |
| === tristan_ is now known as Guest677 | ||
| cody__ | yes, but it does it at random times and gives no warning or anything.. its really anoying.... | 13:35 |
| ikonia | cody__: have you looked at disabling suspend/hibernation ? | 13:35 |
| cody__ | oh i will check that now... | 13:35 |
| HelenB | ikonia: I'm actually using kubuntu but #kubuntu are idle so I'll go with ratcheer's advice but thanks anyway. | 13:35 |
| danp_ | Hi, I was wondering if this is a good channel for help with some server software or if anyone could point me in the right direction | 13:36 |
| ikonia | HelenB: I'm not sure how using kubuntu has any relevence as you'll still need gnome libraries | 13:36 |
| ironhalik | can I set workspaces to work seperately, with dual monitors? | 13:36 |
| ratcheer | HelenB: You have to have both network manager and nm-applet, but nm-applet is what you run. | 13:36 |
| ikonia | and I didn't see any advice from ratcheer | 13:36 |
| HelenB | ikonia: but gnome isn't installed. | 13:37 |
| ikonia | HelenB: then how do you expect to use gnome network manager ? | 13:37 |
| ikonia | or are you talking about a different network manager ? | 13:37 |
| === vincent is now known as Guest1609 | ||
| HelenB | I didn't I said that #kubuntu is idle | 13:37 |
| HelenB | and I want this problem fixing asap | 13:37 |
| ikonia | HelenB: then give clear information | 13:38 |
| HelenB | knetworkmanager | 13:38 |
| cody__ | i still dont know what to do... i mean it says, " hibernate after 10 minutes idle" but it does it when i am using it | 13:38 |
| HelenB | I'm using e17 | 13:38 |
| ikonia | HelenB: right - so "knetworkmanager" | 13:38 |
| ikonia | HelenB: the desktop you are using doesn't change the ability to launch a binary | 13:38 |
| ikonia | HelenB: you should be able to just launch it | 13:38 |
| HelenB | but... | 13:38 |
| HelenB | knetworkmanager isn't a command | 13:38 |
| ikonia | there will be obvious limirations such as desktop intergration (as with the gnome example) | 13:38 |
| HelenB | I can't launch it | 13:38 |
| Pici | danp_: Either here or #ubuntu-server, of course only if you're running Ubuntu. | 13:38 |

| HelenB | Idk the command for knetworkmanager | 13:39 |
| eutheria | so the last thing i need to do to make ubuntu 12.04 perfect for me is to get unit to always show the menubar | 13:39 |
| ikonia | HelenB: siging won't help anything | 13:39 |
| drdozer1 | I'm trying to mount a usb hd after bootig from a pendrive so I can copy stuff of my system hd that won't boot | 13:39 |

| SafariMonkey | Hello. I am having some degree of difficulty with youtube (just diccovered, it's exactly like this:http://askubuntu.com/questions/128470/weird-youtube-player-colours-channels-swapped Does anyone know why red and blue channels are swapped sonmetimes? | 13:39 |
| cliftonts | hi guys. I'm having a problem installing wine and wondered if anyone could help me? | 13:39 |
| drdozer1 | the usb disk won't mount. "mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/matt" | 13:40 |
| drdozer1 | which is a lie | 13:40 |
| ikonia | HelenB: right, so as I said, asking things clearly at the start gets you better results quicker, one moment I'll see if I can find it | 13:40 |
| elijah | Hey guys adison is a bot that just wasted 10 minutes of my life, beware | 13:40 |
| eutheria | is gdm lighter than lightdm or vice versa? | 13:40 |
| bricktea | thank you Sidewinder | 13:40 |
| adison | dude, what are you talking about? I gave you the script... | 13:40 |
| Sidewinder | bricktea, You're more than welcome. :) | 13:40 |
| ikonia | HelenB: before going any further with your idea, it maybe worth having a quick glance at this page's first paragraph. http://dot.kde.org/2009/11/07/introducing-kde-4-knetworkmanager | 13:41 |

| drdozer1 | oh, I can't even cat /etc/mtab | 13:45 |
| WindowsSUCKS | TestiPetteri: Its in the repository. Did you try sudo apt-get install privoxy ? | 13:45 |

| c0rnel | hello all | 13:45 |
| c0rnel | how can i configure ubuntu to start in text mode? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | HelenB: again, the desktop you are using shouldn't matter, unless it depends on functionality from a desktop component (eg: the dock bar of a specific desktop) | 13:45 |
| TestiPetteri | thanks windows suck >D | 13:45 |
| eutheria | weird, everytime i install something x logs me out and returns me to gdm | 13:46 |
| WindowsSUCKS | TestiPetteri: If `sudo apt-get install privoxy" doesnt work, make sure everything is checked in "software sources" | 13:46 |

| mirak | hi | 13:54 |
| rebourn | ikonia: any advice on how to fix it? | 13:54 |
| ikonia | rebourn: put the correct partition in | 13:54 |
| ikonia | as you're being told in #gentoo | 13:54 |
| c0rnel | fishcooker, how much ram? | 13:54 |
| fidel_ | fishcooker: no need for repeat | 13:55 |
| rebourn | sda11 should be the right partition | 13:55 |
| rebourn | that is where i mounted | 13:55 |
| fidel_ | fishcooker: my advice would be: measure it yourself in a real workd scenario which matches your network usage | 13:55 |
| ikonia | rebourn: well, the advice given in #gentoo that is it either a.) the wrong partition b.) you don't have the partition c.) your gentoo kernel does not have you disk controller compiled in so it can't see the disk seems most logical | 13:55 |

| eutheria | can someone explain to me why i had to buy a marble arena for $0? | 14:00 |
| ikonia | eutheria: what ? | 14:01 |
| eutheria | to install marble arena it said, it is $0 buy rather than install | 14:01 |
| eutheria | in the software centre | 14:01 |
| ikonia | eutheria: well, it's $0 so it's free | 14:02 |
| ikonia | you probably still have to purchase it in terms of agree to it's download, but it's cost is $0 | 14:02 |
| eutheria | ikonia, i was confused why it said buy | 14:02 |
| ikonia | eutheria: probably just a wording error | 14:03 |
| eutheria | fair enough | 14:03 |
| c0rnel | Sidewinder, it didn't worked with 'text' | 14:03 |
| OerHeks | eutheria, i am "buying" it now :-) costs €0 | 14:03 |
| eutheria | OerHeks, i know it will break the bank | 14:04 |
| OerHeks | eutheria, all you need is a Launchpad account. | 14:04 |
| eutheria | i know that, it is almost installed | 14:04 |
| eutheria | taking a long time to install | 14:04 |
| Sidewinder | c0rnel, I know how, to boot into text, but since I never do, I'm the last person to ask about trouble-shooting, why it won't; terribly sorry I can't take you further. | 14:05 |

| Mantric | hello, it says when I boot Ubuntu, something like hd 0,1, NTFS5, error, prefix not set... is that why I can't find my windows partition? | 14:18 |
| jure | Sidewinder: and while it can change window borders from one scheme to another, any more detailed settings are not available. | 14:18 |
| Sidewinder | jure, There's also this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ | 14:18 |
| Sidewinder | May be the same thing, though.. | 14:18 |
| jrib | SajjaD: still with me? | 14:18 |
| jdhfr | so what the hell is wrong? I need a normal gnome environment instead of proprietary one | 14:18 |
| jrib | jdhfr: proprietary? | 14:19 |
| Sidewinder | jure, I'm still runnung 10.04 on my main machine; the little 'puter, to my left will be installing 12.04, later today.. | 14:19 |
| jdhfr | Unity(C)(R)(TM) | 14:20 |
| jrib | jdhfr: unity is not proprietary software... | 14:20 |
| Moc | I can't seem to be able to set <Super> Key to control the media player in 12.04 | 14:20 |
| Moc | I did bind the key correctly in the keyboard interface | 14:20 |
| jrib | !notunity | jdhfr, here are some alternatives (also consider xfce and lxde) | 14:20 |
| jure | Sidewinder: so you're saying the only way to customize the desktop on a slightly deeper level is to get rid of Unity entirely? | 14:20 |
| ubottu | jdhfr, here are some alternatives (also consider xfce and lxde): 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 | 14:20 |
| Jef91 | Using Ubuntu 12.04 - anyone have any idea why nm-applet does not display an icon in my system tray? It is there as a blank spot that I can click on - but no icon. | 14:20 |

| Sidewinder | jure, So while I do have a somewhat, 'working knowledge' of unity, I'm not intimately familiar with it. | 14:21 |
| jrib | jdhfr: no need for caps | 14:21 |
| Sidewinder | jure, No, don't get rid of it; there are, I believe other options.. | 14:21 |
| plot44 | Can anyone help with a blocked wireless card? | 14:22 |
| Moc | I don't like unity, but so for I'm too lazy to try something else | 14:22 |
| jure | Sidewinder: the purple/orange color scheme is stinging my eyes -- I used to have a black/light-blue one in the version prior to Unity, it kicked ass | 14:22 |
| Sidewinder | jure, ^ See ubottu's response, above. ^ | 14:23 |
| Mantric | it says prefix not set on a harddrive NTFS5 when I boot ubuntu, is that why I can't find my windows HD and how do i fix it? | 14:23 |
| jdhfr | why gnome-shell is broken? | 14:24 |
| Sidewinder | jure, That I can cure; just select any .jpg, .png, and use it for your desktop.. It's under Settings. | 14:24 |
| jure | Sidewinder: well, yeah, but it doesn't fix all the other orange and purple | 14:25 |

| u1_ | fishcooker, That approach seems to be somewhat similar to ecryptfs-recover-private, which worked for me, but read only for emergency purposes, but I want to keep two computers ecryted in sync. | 14:29 |
| Lasher | the issue with the wifi I am having has been present since 10.04 - in which I was able to fix it by editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2800.conf | 14:29 |

| UICTamale | wow, thanks Lasher - this is much better. Muted but still contrasty enough to be functional. Looks great with the metabox window borders. | 14:31 |

| Jef91 | Using Ubuntu 12.04 - anyone have any idea why nm-applet does not display an icon in my system tray? It is there as a blank spot that I can click on - but no icon. | 14:31 |
| Sidewinder | jure, Yes, that's one thing that I have learned; if your willing to spend a little time messin' with stuff, you can get ubuntu to do just about anything. (Just about..) | 14:31 |
| Lasher | UICTamale, I like it as much as I can - still prefer gtk2+ Slickness-Black | 14:31 |

| jrib | jdhfr: no but if we don't know the answer, we can't answer you | 14:32 |
| UICTamale | ok thanks | 14:32 |
| UICTamale | i think if more people had access to changing between themes like these 'out of the box', a lot of people would like ubuntu's look and feel more | 14:32 |
| Lasher | nobody knows where /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2800.conf has moved or what to do about wifi failing after sleep? | 14:33 |

| Linux{} | BlueWolf: I'm not understanding the second part to teh question. I know how to make an image be an anchor | 14:47 |

| jdhfr | BlueWolf: use normal MS Word instead of that c..p | 14:56 |
| wormmd | navatwo, do you use the 64bit versions of any of those packages? They probably have their own dependencies, and you'll probably have to build those yourself as well, unless there's some workaround. Googling. | 14:57 |
| BlueWolf | jdhfr: I am in Linux - the customer I am doing it for uses windows. | 14:57 |
| wormmd | navatwo, what I meant was that you could try installing those packages prior to installing the gtkmm package, but they probably have their own dependencies. | 14:57 |
| navatwo | wormmd: I tried that too | 14:58 |
| navatwo | I think I have to build it myself.. | 14:58 |

| wormmd | I want to "emulate" a Lubuntu reinstall. | 15:11 |
| bazhang | gogeta, removing ubuntu-desktop has never worked | 15:11 |
| wormmd | I might just reinstall... | 15:12 |
| wormmd | It takes like 30 minutes tops. | 15:12 |
| wormmd | Yeah, that's what I'll do. | 15:12 |

| Cameron__ | what do you use for your logs | 15:22 |
| wormmd | navatwo, best of luck. | 15:22 |
| wormmd | Cameron__, tail or less, usually. | 15:22 |
| Cameron__ | i mean these logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/05/07/%23ubuntu.html | 15:23 |
| Daghdha | I see it resolve from: Server:127.0.0.1 Address:127.0.0.1#53 I wonder if it goes just to my DHCP assigned DNS's there or also other ones/ | 15:23 |
| Cameron__ | http://irclogs.ubuntu.com | 15:23 |
| wormmd | Cameron__, ah. Couldn't say, I don't log these chats. | 15:23 |
| aerospain | hello everyone ... i'm running into nvidia problems when installing 12.04 in new machine from factory | 15:23 |
| Cameron__ | any idea how i could find out wormmd? | 15:24 |
| aerospain | basically, I cannot see the screen ... I was wondering if there is a way of including display drivers in my installation pendrive | 15:24 |
| celthunder | Daghdha: thas localhost are you running a dns server | 15:24 |
| heikoheikoheiko | after accidentally deleting quite a large amount of (not important) data with "rm -r foo *" instead of "rm -r foo*", I'd like to alias rm to rm -i. when I do that in .bash_aliases, it works for my user but not with sudo. I tried putting it in /root/.bash_aliases, didn't work either. | 15:24 |
| Cameron__ | ah nvm | 15:24 |
| Cameron__ | i found it | 15:24 |
| mneptok | Cameron__: scroll down | 15:24 |
| Cameron__ | yeah thanks | 15:24 |
| Daghdha | Not that i know of celthunder. God knows what i did in the past 2 years though. | 15:25 |
| wormmd | Cameron__, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=log+irc+chats | 15:25 |
| aerospain | my card is NVidia Quadro 600 | 15:25 |
| mneptok | wormmd: LMGTFY urls are unwelcome in this channel | 15:25 |
| bazhang | wormmd, never do that here | 15:25 |
| celthunder | Daghdha: lol cat /etc/resolv.conf if it says that there then you have a dns server or some weird routing | 15:25 |
| wormmd | Seriously? | 15:26 |

| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 15:26 |
| bazhang | wormmd, yes. never. | 15:26 |
| wormmd | Fair enough. | 15:26 |
| SunTsu | heikoheikoheiko: I don't think that that alias is a good idea. You get used to a "safety net" like this and get more willing to take risks - and then you end up doing that on a box who doesn't have your "safety net" alias yet... | 15:26 |
| Daghdha | celthunder it says: nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 15:27 |
| heikoheikoheiko | better stop using rm at all? :) | 15:27 |
| aerospain | has anyone encountered problems installing 12.04 in machine with NVidia Quadro 600? | 15:27 |
| wormmd | Cameron__, I apologize for being rude. I forget sometimes that everyone needs some simple help at some point, even me :) | 15:27 |
| Daghdha | Maybe i set it up when anonymous was threathening to take down the DNS rootnodes. | 15:27 |
| tonal_desires | A qucik question: I run the LTS on my laptop and it's awesome! | 15:27 |
| SunTsu | heikoheikoheiko: better think about what you are doing andwhen in doubt try it with echo first | 15:27 |
| tonal_desires | So I want to install it on my pc too | 15:27 |
| celthunder | Daghdha: lol are you running bind/named? | 15:27 |
| aerospain | I'm thinking about trying with 11.10 first and upgrading from it to 12.04 | 15:27 |
| aerospain | any suggestions? | 15:28 |
| Daghdha | I don't know what bind.names means | 15:28 |
| heikoheikoheiko | SunTsu: i hate thinking, i tend to avoid that | 15:28 |
| SunTsu | heikoheikoheiko: then you might want to use a different OS | 15:28 |
| Cameron__ | lol | 15:28 |
| szal | tonal_desires: and what's the question? | 15:28 |
| Daghdha | GADMIN-BIND is on it.. | 15:28 |
| tonal_desires | tl;dr: Is it possible to dual boot win7 from lets say dev2 and ubuntu from dev3? | 15:28 |
| celthunder | Daghdha: you can probably replace that with nameserver 8.8.8.8 if you want but you can check for named /etc/bind/local.conf will have a forwards section | 15:28 |
| Daghdha | celthunder: Status activated | 15:28 |
| cypher-neo | aerospain, I've encountered it as well. | 15:29 |
| SunTsu | heikoheikoheiko: But for your original question: Why would users care about stuff users have in their bashrc? Put it in a systemwide config file, in /etc e.g. | 15:29 |
| celthunder | Daghdha: yeah look in that file it will tell you what your server is forwarding to | 15:29 |
| aerospain | cypher-neo ::: hello! what have you done about it? | 15:29 |
| cypher-neo | aerospain, I wasn't able to fix it though. | 15:29 |
| aerospain | mmmmmm | 15:29 |
| cypher-neo | aerospain, I simply booted into Failsafe mode and removed the drivers | 15:29 |
| heikoheikoheiko | SunTsu: k, thx | 15:29 |
| wormmd | bbiab, backing up and reinstalling. | 15:29 |
| aerospain | cypher-neo ::: I guess i'll have to work with 11.10 until a fix is found | 15:30 |
| cypher-neo | aerospain, I noticed that the graphics on 12.04 don't seem to need the proprietary drivers | 15:30 |
| cypher-neo | aerospain, In other words, it seems to work fine without the drivers. | 15:30 |
| mneptok | aerospain: there is no fix to be "found" with a closed, proprietary driver. you have to wait for nVidia to fix it. | 15:31 |
| aerospain | cypher-neo ::: then, i don't understand why i don't see anything on the screen when i'm installing 12.04 from scratch (i.e. computer is empty of OS) :-( | 15:31 |
| mneptok | aerospain: the "nouveau" FLOSS driver may work for you on 12.04, as cypher-neo said. | 15:31 |
| Daghdha | celthunder: I'm not touching it. It's working. But win machine uses router for lookups (Is the ISP DNS) and it wasnot working and linux is. | 15:31 |
| aerospain | mneptok ::: thanks! i meant for nVidia to fix it as well ;-) | 15:31 |
| cypher-neo | aerospain, Don't bother with the NVidia driver for now. It is borked. | 15:32 |
| mneptok | aerospain: try the -alternate .iso media, and the text-mode installer. | 15:32 |
| cypher-neo | aerospain, You don't see anything at all? | 15:33 |
| aerospain | mneptok ::: i'll look for the -alternate iso media ... but, how can i enter text-mode installer if I only see "noise" on my screen when booting the computer with my installation pendrive? | 15:33 |
| cypher-neo | aerospain, The FLOSS driver is packaged with 12.04. You should be able to see something. | 15:33 |
| aerospain | cypher-neo ::: I see noise ... firstly I see the purplish rectangle on the screen, and when it's time for the ubuntu word over the dots to appear, the image is corrupted | 15:34 |
| celthunder | Daghdha: set the windows machine to use 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2 youre pretty much 99 percent garantueed those will be up | 15:34 |
| Areckx | I am getting a Directx popup whenever I run wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/Wow.exe | 15:34 |

| jdhfr | so you want to tell ubutnu 12.04 was intentionally released with broken gnome-shell and it was not fixed yet? | 15:34 |
| bencahill | Why doesn't the ubuntu livecd (atleast an old one) have rsync? Seriously? | 15:34 |
| aerospain | mneptok ::: thanks!!!! | 15:35 |

| cypher-neo | Oops | 15:35 |

| krababbel | Areckx: did you try virtualbox? i think it has opengl acceleration | 15:35 |

| cypher-neo | aerospain, That was meant for you. :P Hope it all works out okay. | 15:35 |

| rabbi1 | whats wrong with wubi.exe 12.04 ? | 15:36 |
| aerospain | cypher-neo ::: thanks!!! I'll keep you updated | 15:36 |
| celthunder | Daghdha: the other is opendns | 15:36 |
| cypher-neo | jdhfr, Check out the package "uck". Using uck you can make your own bootable version of 12.04 that includes a working gnome-shell. | 15:36 |
| mneptok | aerospain: use the .torrent because it has error correction and checksumming as part of the protocol. it is nigh impossible to get a corrupted .iso with BitTorrent. | 15:36 |

| Icculus | Hi everyone. I have a quick question. I've been reading up on the Xen Hypervisor and have an idea. I can figure out the details on my own, but before I start the project, I wanted to figure out if I was wasting my time from the get go... | 16:00 |
| openvoid | last time i tried xen in ubuntu it was broken | 16:00 |
| Icculus | I want to set it up so I have a Windows 7 virtual machine running on top of Xen that can run DirectX11 at full speed. Is it possible to give the guest client access to the GPU with a full pass through? | 16:01 |
| fidel_ | Icculus: possible - friend of mine is running such a setup using a passive gfx for linux and an 3d for xen-windows7 | 16:01 |
| openvoid | Icculus, there is passtrough of gpu to xen | 16:01 |
| shomi1990 | Hi everyone... Any one had expirience with boost::python before? | 16:02 |
| mguy | Can I upgrade to regular Ubuntu 12.04 from Lubuntu 11 or do I have to do a fresh install | 16:02 |
| auronandace | shomi1990: dudes in #python might have | 16:02 |
| fidel_ | Icculus: be sure that you get a good mainboard which comes with those relevant intel options | 16:02 |
| Icculus | Fantastic. So if I were to say, play a modern DX11 game through it, the only slowdown I'd have would be the overhead of the OS running Xen? I'd have access to all the call throughs etc. | 16:02 |
| Icculus | I have full support for VT-d so I should be good to go. | 16:03 |
| MirkoKa | on 12.04 where in the unity session setup is the panel loaded? I'd like to prevent it from starting and use xfce4-panel or gnome-panel instead. | 16:03 |
| fidel_ | k | 16:03 |
| Icculus | Alright, thanks for the help. Really appreciate it. In my Googling I seemed to get conflicting answers on the topic and I assumed it was due to version numbers, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't wasting my time. Have a good one guys. You rock! | 16:03 |
| openvoid | Icculus, yes you can, i tried to do so two months ago, but xen was broken in ubuntu, not tried it in 12.04 yet | 16:04 |
| fidel_ | Icculus: good luck ;) | 16:04 |
| LgL | MirkoKa: why not just install gnome-panel and choose it when you login and set it to default? | 16:04 |
| === boyzilla is now known as girlzilla | ||
| Icculus | I was planning on using Debian, but is there a better recommendation? I wanted to run Ubuntu as a guest OS on top so I was thinking maybe Arch, but I didn't want to be hunting down dependencies for days. | 16:05 |
| kurtcho | hullo | 16:05 |
| kurtcho | =D | 16:06 |
| Icculus | simply because Arch is so light-weight compared to Debian (and obviously Ubuntu) | 16:06 |
| fidel_ | Icculus: friend is running that setup in debian aswell ;) | 16:06 |
| fidel_ | so - no worries ...should be fine | 16:06 |
| Icculus | Perfect. I'll go that route then. Tootles. | 16:06 |
| LgL | Icculus: crunchbang is tha shitt.. its based on debian | 16:06 |
| kurtcho | ikr | 16:06 |

I am able to login only after deleting .Xauthority and .ICEauthority. It is a pain to do that every time I boot into Ubuntu. Is there any way to fix this issue? | 16:07 |
| kurtcho | u just need to revert to gnome | 16:07 |
| mwallacesd | How can I install JAVA 7 in Precise Pangolin? | 16:08 |
| LgL | MirkoKa: then but if you install gnome and when you select it in the gdm you do not log in to unity | 16:08 |
| LgL | and you get your gnome panels | 16:08 |
| kurtcho | mwall do you need to oracle version? | 16:08 |
| ano123 | i wonder if ubuntu developers are actually gone insane when i saw unity | 16:08 |
| IcemanV9 | !java | mwallacesd | 16:08 |
| ubottu | mwallacesd: 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. | 16:08 |

| w1jp | I would like to disable the AGC (automatic gain control) for the audio input on my sound card / driver. Where can I find instructions to do that? | 16:10 |
| LgL | MirkoKa: so you want to mix unity with gnome.. 50 50? | 16:10 |
| auronandace | w1jp: snap | 16:11 |
| MirkoKa | LgL: well yes, no, I will see. right now I only want to replace the unity panel with the xfce panel. | 16:11 |
| w1jp | auronandace: snap? is that a utility? | 16:12 |
| MirkoKa | LgL, all I need to know is where (in which files) does the unity session startup happen | 16:12 |
| mwallacesd | Thx IcemanV9, =) | 16:12 |
| auronandace | w1jp: no, i'm using 12.04 on a t61 too | 16:12 |
| w1jp | popular device hehe | 16:12 |
| w1jp | I am not even sure what controls the sound in 12.04. Is it ALSA or PulseAudio? | 16:13 |
| alankila | pulse is the master. alsa is just a driver for it | 16:14 |
| auronandace | w1jp: pulseaudio (which uses alsa itself) | 16:14 |
| w1jp | ahh, do you no if there is a config option to disable AGC? | 16:14 |
| w1jp | it sux with skype, gtalk, etc. | 16:14 |
| w1jp | I am not sure if that is a driver funciton or a master function. | 16:15 |

| eutheria | mobius420, that depends on how you configured it | 17:00 |
| mobius420 | well thanks for the information | 17:00 |
| mobius420 | one last thing | 17:01 |
| mobius420 | could you click the link and tell me if you can see my site? | 17:01 |
| mobius420 | http://www.fortcollinspc.net | 17:01 |
| alankila | mobius420: you can hack this... on your client machines give www.mywebsite.com an internal 192.168.x.x IP or whatever you use | 17:01 |
| eutheria | mobius420, i follow the standard file system layout and keep my config under /etc/apache2/sites-available | 17:01 |
| alankila | so when your browser tries to access it, it directly uses the LAN IP instead of the real IP and avoids the issue (maybe) | 17:01 |
| marscher | hi, having a problem with my converted ext4 partition. i can mount it properly without any flaws - but if i try to umount && fsck it - fsck complains it can not open it exclusively - any clues? | 17:01 |
| eutheria | you a2ensite to enable a site etc, don't do the symlinks yourself, can if you want | 17:01 |
| bakkerthehacker | 'ello. My installation of precise is freezing on boot. I get the ubnutu loading screen and the cursor appears but i cant move it | 17:02 |
| mobius420 | ahh, that makes sense... I only need to be able to see the site from my development laptop | 17:02 |
| krababbel | bakkerthehacker: nvidia? | 17:02 |
| kallikanzarid | hi all | 17:02 |
| eutheria | aladilas, assuming he has the right ip, it will be the virtual hosts names i am sure | 17:02 |
| bakkerthehacker | yes | 17:02 |
| blz | mobius420, I see it. Some design upgrades are sorely needed ;-) | 17:02 |
| krababbel | bakkerthehacker: can you login? | 17:02 |
| mobius420 | hehe | 17:02 |
| bakkerthehacker | nope | 17:02 |
| mobius420 | well thanks mate | 17:02 |
| eutheria | mobius420, add an entry to your /etc/hosts then | 17:02 |
| bakkerthehacker | just see the 5 dots and ubntu above it and a cursor that i cant move | 17:02 |
| alankila | eutheria: the website software only cares that the HTTP header comes with a right Host: www.mysite.com header | 17:03 |
| kallikanzarid | do you guys know where Ubuntu 12 stores its keyboard settings? | 17:03 |
| krababbel | bakkerthehacker: looks like an issue often brought up. Did you look in xorg's logs? | 17:03 |
| alankila | as long as the tcp connection reaches the right host and that Host header is emitted into the server, it will serve the right host and therefore should work | 17:03 |
| kallikanzarid | bakkerthehacker: do the dots blink? | 17:03 |
| eutheria | alankila, well yeah, if he goes to ip he will get a 404 while if he has setup up a virtual host he will have to access by that name as i bet he has left 00default enabled | 17:04 |
| u12 | i want have a dual boot system , i select to install ubuntu side by side with windows .. but when restart i see the black screen ' grub rescue ' http://paste.ubuntu.com/973631/ | 17:04 |
| bakkerthehacker | the dots do blink initially then stop. I dont know where the xorg logs are | 17:04 |
| === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| alankila | eutheria: yeah the trick is to make www.something.com resolve to the right IP so the browser is fooled to write the correct host header :-) | 17:04 |
| eutheria | mobius420, you have the default site enabled, look at /etc/apache2/site-enabled | 17:04 |
| krababbel | bakkerthehacker: /var/log/Xorg.0.log for example | 17:05 |
| lgp171188 | Hi on my HP G4 1201tx laptop with AMD Radeon HD 6470 GPU and an Intel GPU in hybrid mode, I installed ubuntu precise 64-bit. I couldn't boot the installer or the installed os without nomodeset option. Once I logged into ubuntu, I installed the proprietary amd drivers from jockey and rebooted. When I used aticonfig command to find out which GPU was being used, it said that the discrete GPU is being used. But there was no "Device" section in xorg.conf fo | 17:05 |
| rekoil | is there a way to make the unity tooltips disappear when i start using the keyboard? | 17:05 |
| eutheria | alankila, or just remove the default site so any request lands on the only site that is enabled | 17:05 |
| rekoil | at the moment when i click terminal they stay and look stupid | 17:05 |
| rekoil | so, say i have the terminal in the upper left corner, and click on terminal | 17:05 |
| === carif_ is now known as carif | ||
| === lipe^olive is now known as FfoO | ||
| rekoil | then the tooltip wil stay and be in the way of the terminal window unless i move the mouse away from it after clicking | 17:05 |
| rekoil | the expected behaviour for me is that the tooltip would disappear once i start using the keyboard | 17:06 |
| bakkerthehacker | my xorg.0 is empty but i have an xorg.8 that has text in it | 17:06 |
| FROSK | ciao | 17:07 |
| bakkerthehacker | krababbel: the xorg.0 is empty and the xorg.8 is dated in april | 17:09 |

| blz | jey, yes, it is | 17:17 |
| jey | I uninstalled the flashplayer related packages and now Flash doesn't work inside Crome, but I thought Chrome had its own integrated copy of it | 17:17 |
| krababbel | eutheria: I'd create a different user so you don't have to worry | 17:17 |
| eutheria | krababbel, good idea | 17:17 |
| blz | jey, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that the chrome-browser package lists flash as a dependency | 17:17 |

| blz | Escherial, at the risk of giving unsolicited advice, Ninja IDE is really, really cool | 17:27 |

| MirkoKa | mathias: try uninstalling the package with apt-get line then re install it again with apt-get, pastebin both outputs | 19:01 |

| mathias | MirkoKa: Again, the package (icaclient, it's a Citrix client) works for my purposes, so I do NOT want to uninstall it. | 19:04 |
| === soreau_ is now known as soreau | ||
| mathias | MirkoKa: I would however like to know how I can finalize what went wrong, or at least silence it. | 19:05 |
| MirkoKa | mathias: purge it with "sudo apt-get purge icaclient" , the reinstall it with "sudo apt-get install icaclient" | 19:05 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: I think I did exactly that already. But I will do it, just for you :) | 19:05 |
| MirkoKa | mathias: when you purged it, was the package manager ok again? | 19:06 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: yes | 19:06 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: something fails during install but still the package is installed and works. but something is "left" unfinshed from the package systems point of view. | 19:07 |
| === johnny is now known as johnny| | ||
| MirkoKa | mathias: so if you now reinstall it, and the problem appears again, then I'd say the package is either broken or nor compatibe with your ubuntu version | 19:07 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: It could be the latter. I use 64 bit 12.04 but Citrix has a 64 bit version. | 19:07 |

| GuestPl | Ubuntu: 12.04 (64): Could anyone suggest a slideshow program that has a randomizer that has varibles, so that you can make certain folders more likely be picked from? I used Karsten Slideshow for windows and it worked ok. Anything similar to that? | 19:08 |
| johnny| | Ok so I figured out what the issue was. When Ubuntu installed, my on board audio was disabled because I didn't need it. Now that I am trying to use the audio mic input on the front of my PC case and enabled the card in the bios the card still isn't recognized by Ubuntu. | 19:08 |
| johnny| | It only sees my NVIDIA HD Card and my USB Camera Mic. | 19:09 |
| Sidewinder | mathias, To the best of my knowledge, 64 bit systems should run 32 bit programs with no problems; it's not the other way around: 32 bit systems can't/won't run 64 bit software. | 19:09 |
| MirkoKa | mathias: I would talk to the package providers, their post-install script fails | 19:10 |
| johnny| | Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu again with the card enabled in the bios? | 19:10 |
| infecto | how do I setup sftp folder permission so a user can log into a root folder and have permission to mkdir | 19:10 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: Yeah, I should probably do that. I don't expect a reply anytime soon from such a big company, but maybe I should give it a try. | 19:10 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: What I would like to know is where this post-install script lies, so I can change it/disable it/whatever. | 19:11 |
| mongo | mathias: /var/lib/dpkg/info IIRC | 19:12 |
| maximo | ciao | 19:12 |
| mathias | mongo: Yes! Some interesting looking files there :) | 19:13 |

| pratz | hey guys i am looking for a good menu gnome menu with search options in it | 19:14 |
| mathias | mongo: I wonder if I dare running their postinst script manually... | 19:14 |
| johnny| | !audio | 19:14 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 19:14 |
| johnny| | Nope that didn't work ubottu. Not when I only have pavucontrol as preferences. | 19:15 |
| MirkoKa | mathias: you should at least carefully read it, it might need certain commandline parameters | 19:15 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: Good advice. | 19:16 |
| MirkoKa | mathias: another option is to unpack the .dev with ar(1), unpack the control.tar.gz, change the post-inst script, repackage everything and try to install it then | 19:16 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: Ok. | 19:16 |
| LucidGuy | Very sad... Just had a horrible experience with Ubuntu 12.04. Can't stand Unity, tried installing Gnome .. tons of issues. Trying Fedora16. Gnome3 is just odd. What has come of Linux? What are we all using | 19:17 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: Another idea I got was to edit the script and put short debug statements (echo calls) here and there and see where it fails when later running dpgk again. Would that work or is there another copy of the script lying around? | 19:17 |
| david__ | Hi everyone, I'm new to ubuntu and struggling a bit. I need to downgrade the mercurial package to a version compatible with TortoiseHg, but I can't figure out how to downgrade it. Anyone got a minute to show a new guy around? | 19:17 |
| OmegaHarvest | Just installed 12.04. It's not picking up any nvidia drivers under additional drivers. anyone else run into this? I have a nvidia 555m btw | 19:18 |
| MirkoKa | mathias: don't think there is another copy. I'm not sure if echo would work, dpkg might redirect the output, try to use logger(1) instead | 19:19 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: okay | 19:19 |
| Trian3 | I'm getting a message in boot repair which states "Please enable a repository containing the [grub2] packages in the software sources of Linux not detected by os-prober (sda1). Then try again." How do I enable the requested repository? | 19:19 |
| _dolmen_ | Is there a reason why my 11.10 amd64 system does not get the 12.04 in update-manager? | 19:19 |
| OmegaHarvest | it might be set not to show new releases in the update manager settings dolmen | 19:20 |
| mathias | MirkoKa: Thanks for all the good advice. This was the first time I tried IRC for Ubuntu issues. For Emacs chat and discussions I have used it a lot. | 19:20 |
| _dolmen_ | OmegaHarvest, no, I already checked that | 19:20 |
| fraterm | LucidGuy, I tend to try the xubuntu/kubuntu and other desktop environments rather than other distros. | 19:21 |
| MirkoKa | mathias: no problem, my pleasure :) | 19:21 |
| OmegaHarvest | hmmm. not sure then, sorry mate | 19:21 |
| kanapka | hi | 19:21 |
| fraterm | But I am severely underimpressed by this whole Dash / Gnome3 interface. | 19:21 |
| Sidewinder | _dolmen_, Update Mgr. won't list that until 12.04.1 is released; sometime in June, I believe. | 19:21 |
| ironhalik | how can I make each monitor using its own workspaces (with dual monitor setup) - the multimonitor behavior menu in ccsm seems to not work | 19:21 |
| fraterm | It's as though everyone has decided the metaphor for interacting with a computer should move to tablet-esque behaviour. | 19:21 |
| SnowmanX11 | Hi Guys | 19:22 |

| Stereocaulon | david__, You can downgrade packages in Synaptic, by selecting the package and under Package menu, select Force Version and select oyur desired version | 19:23 |
| === Guest68676 is now known as Gustaf_GH | ||
| Stereocaulon | david__, oyur => your | 19:23 |

| david__ | ohh k, gonna try that thx | 19:23 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: i think you can just install the "lubuntu-restricted-extras" package which includes flash | 19:23 |
| MirkoKa | Trian3: Software Center -> Edit -> Software Sources, enable everything in the Software from Ubuntu tab | 19:23 |
| Sidewinder | _dolmen_, It's not a bug, so the answer to your first is no; the second I have heard, many times, here.. | 19:23 |
| yassine12 | hi | 19:23 |
| Stereocaulon | yassine12, hi, please state your question | 19:24 |
| killtrace | I have KASDA single antenna for wlan but I can't find drivers.... pls help | 19:24 |
| kanapka | Floyd42: i've installed that, installed flashplugin-install too, I can see flash in plugins both in Firefox and chromium (enabled), but the videos don't work - i get a black screen on youtube | 19:24 |
| Trian3 | MirkoKa: This isn't the Live CD, so I don't have access to the software center. This is from within the Boot Repair CD. | 19:25 |
| x_ | hi | 19:25 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: what sort of browser plugins do you have? specifically, noscript/flashblock kind .. those might be blocking flash | 19:25 |
| kanapka | Floyd42: and chromium says 'missing plugin' | 19:25 |
| MirkoKa | Trian3: then sorry, don't know, never used that CD | 19:26 |
| Stereocaulon | !question | x_ | 19:26 |
| x_ | is there a way to adjust scroll speed in 12.04? | 19:26 |
| ubottu | x_: 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 | 19:26 |
| aleprovencio | can anyone please tell me how can I disable alt+<something> calling a menu accel for a specific app? or maybe all accels for a specific app? | 19:26 |
| david__ | !patience | 19:26 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 19:26 |
| Stereocaulon | x_: These detailed settings can probably found in the gnome config editor. | 19:27 |
| x_ | ubottu, did you tell to me? | 19:27 |
| ubottu | x_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:27 |
| kanapka | Floyd42: i don't have noscript or flashblock, only Icedtea, Windows Media Player, quick time and so, it's a pretty fresh install | 19:27 |
| x_ | xD | 19:27 |
| x_ | i have a question | 19:28 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, install gconf-editor by using sudo apt-get install gconf-editor | 19:28 |
| x_ | Stereocaulon, so i can adjust scroll speed? | 19:28 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: windows media player? i thought you were on ubuntu, or linux. hmm .. i'm not sure about windows stuff. | 19:28 |
| pratz | hey guys I have ubuntu 12.04 | 19:28 |
| pratz | and alt+tab is not working for me | 19:28 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: but if you're using the dev version of chrome, try disabling the inbuilt pdf viewer, restart the browser, and try again. | 19:29 |
| === ozzloy is now known as ozzloy_ | ||
| kanapka | Floyd42: it's called Gecko Media Player, it just says Windows media player on the top. sorry for the mistake | 19:29 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, if there is a place you can adjust the scroll speed, the editor is the most likely way to accomplish it. Be warned though, some settings can be almost as cryptic as the Windows registry. | 19:29 |
| xskydevilx | Do you think it is possible to run Skype 5.9 on Ubuntu? | 19:29 |
| pratz | ubuntu 12.04 can not switch between windows using alt+tab | 19:30 |
| pratz | ?? | 19:30 |
| x_ | Stereocaulon, it is most possible i can't find the scroll speed line! | 19:30 |
| OmegaHarvest | hi all, wondering if anyone can help. just gone to 12.04 and it's not picking up any nvidia drivers under additional drivers. I have the latest nvidia-current package installed which is 295.40. its a nvidia 555m btw | 19:30 |
| MiJyn | pratz, did you upgrade or clean install? | 19:30 |
| kanapka | Floyd42: i've disabled everything except flash. do I need to restart chromium to test? | 19:31 |
| mongo | pratz: if it is the same app you have to use alt ~ now | 19:31 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: couple more suggestions. 1) remove all installed flash packages & reinstall it. 2) in firefox, install the add-on called "flash-aid" and restar the browser and try again. | 19:31 |
| MiJyn | OmegaHarvest, is this a clean install or an upgrade? | 19:31 |
| === lasers is now known as info | ||
| mongo | alt ~ does windows in the same app alt tab switches between apps | 19:31 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: yeah, try after restarting | 19:31 |
| OmegaHarvest | clean install | 19:31 |
| MiJyn | OmegaHarvest, did you have this problem with earlier versions? | 19:32 |
| OmegaHarvest | nope it was fine with 11.10 | 19:32 |
| zvacet | I have movie witch consist of 47 rar files how can I start it do I have to merge files? | 19:32 |
| === info is now known as lusers | ||
| OmegaHarvest | both amd64 | 19:32 |
| MiJyn | OmegaHarvest, same computer? | 19:32 |
| kanapka | i've tried uninstalling everthing with 'flash' in the name in synaptic, i also have flash-aid. installed stable flash on root account and it doesn't work | 19:32 |
| OmegaHarvest | yup | 19:32 |
| kanapka | brb. | 19:32 |
| auronandace | zvacet: wrong channel | 19:33 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, what desktop environt do you use, Unity, Unity 2D or something else? | 19:33 |
| MiJyn | kanapka, try flash-doctor | 19:33 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, what desktop environment do you use, Unity, Unity 2D or something else? | 19:33 |
| OmegaHarvest | I'm just guessing its a driver issue at the moment with my chipset | 19:33 |
| MiJyn | OmegaHarvest, does nvidia-current work? | 19:33 |
| xskydevilx | Is it possible to run Skype 5.9 on Ubuntu? | 19:33 |
| zvacet | auronandace: isn´t it multimedia question? | 19:33 |
| x_ | Stereocaulon, cinnamon on 12.04 | 19:33 |
| OmegaHarvest | nope, and I've checked its installed in synaptic | 19:33 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: no, skype stopped updating the linux kernel some time ago | 19:33 |
| MiJyn | kanapka, try flash-doctor | 19:33 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: and now that MS bought it i expect that to only get worse | 19:34 |
| pratz | mongo: MiJyn i just tried to install cinnamon menu of linux mint | 19:34 |
| MiJyn | OmegaHarvest, try purging it and reinstalling it | 19:34 |
| kanapka | Floyd42: still says 'missing plugin' | 19:34 |
| xskydevilx | Simkin, What about throught Wine or something? | 19:34 |
| phibxr | xskydevilx, 2.2 beta seems to be the latest version still. | 19:34 |
| OmegaHarvest | already tried, no luck | 19:34 |
| kanapka | MiJyn: for firefox or chrome? | 19:34 |
| xskydevilx | phibxr, dammit. | 19:34 |
| MiJyn | OmegaHarvest, and you rebooted? | 19:34 |
| phibxr | xskydevilx, I don't think they really update skype for linux anymore. | 19:34 |
| MiJyn | kanapka, no, it's an external utility | 19:34 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: virtualbox would work for sure. | 19:34 |
| OmegaHarvest | yeah. no joy | 19:34 |
| pratz | mongo: MiJyn then i removed it and i guess because of that the keyboard layout is changed , i am not sure | 19:34 |
| MiJyn | kanapka, works on both | 19:34 |
| LucidGuy | Anyone given 12.04 a try? | 19:34 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: wine... i'm doubtful but maybe? | 19:34 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: sorry, i'm out of ideas. perhaps someone else can help you. | 19:35 |
| MiJyn | LucidGuy, yes :D | 19:35 |
| david__ | How do you remove a package that's been build and installed from the source code using the command "make install"? | 19:35 |
| xskydevilx | Simkin, Hm.. The 2.2 beta just doesn't seem to cut it. | 19:35 |
| kanapka | Floyd42: thanks for your time anyway :) | 19:35 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, Cinnamon is not supported on Ubuntu, but since it's a shell for Gnome3 that looks like Gnome2, best look amongst the Gnome3-configuration, or something that is specific to Cinnamon concerning mouse properties. | 19:35 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: sure :) | 19:35 |
| MiJyn | OmegaHarvest, so how do you know if nvidia-current works or not? | 19:35 |
| kanapka | MiJyn: trying it now, i thought it was an add-on like flash-aid. | 19:35 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: it works well enough for me. | 19:35 |
| LucidGuy | MiJyn, How do you like it? .. I had a horrible time with it. Unity makes me very sad. Then I tried to install Gnome.. and wow what a mess. | 19:35 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: skype is pretty crappy | 19:35 |
| zvacet | david__: by typing sudo make uninstall in folder where app is | 19:36 |
| MiJyn | kanapka, yeah, no, I wrote it because I didn't like how it was an add-on | 19:36 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: if you want to computer->phone communication google voice might be a better option | 19:36 |
| david__ | thx! | 19:36 |
| xskydevilx | Simkin, Well, I'm kind of forced to use it. | 19:36 |
| MiJyn | LucidGuy, If you want GNOME 2, try MATE (fork of GNOME 2) | 19:36 |
| xskydevilx | Simkin, Skype that is. I use Google voice for work. | 19:36 |
| zvacet | david__:np | 19:36 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: me too. | 19:36 |
| Floyd42 | kanapka: if you're using chromium-browser, try downloading chrome from the website and installing it. it comes preconfigured with flash, see ifthat works. | 19:37 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: where is 2.2 failing you? | 19:37 |
| david__ | it says: "make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop." | 19:37 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: why are you suggesting someone install software without using repositories????? | 19:37 |
| xskydevilx | Simkin, The UI side of things, and the fonts. I am the head of design at work, so that might be the reason. hehe | 19:37 |
| x_ | Stereocaulon, i don't understand what u are saying. If i could change scroll speed on Unity, it would effect cinnamon too!! | 19:37 |
| kanapka | Floyd42: will try if flashdoctor fails | 19:37 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: yah, it looks like ass but it's functionally 'alright' | 19:37 |
| x_ | Stereocaulon, so if you know how to change on Unity, tell me please | 19:38 |
| MirkoKa | david__: you need to be in the source directory, where you did the make install earlier | 19:38 |
| Roberto | Question: http://i.imgur.com/a7IH2.jpg --- I dont need no source code so I can uncheck all those PPAs ? | 19:38 |
| xskydevilx | Simkin, Granted, I haven't tried using Wine to get 5.9. Do you happen to be on Ubuntu? | 19:38 |
| Floyd42 | simkin: oh, a thousand pardons! i didn't realize geniuses like you were around to provide invaluable critique. | 19:38 |
| BlueProtoman | I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. Jockey doesn't show the drivers I have available, even though it did before. Reinstalling it doesn't help. Any tips? | 19:39 |
| Simkin | xskydevilx: wine won't run skype, already checked. | 19:39 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: just asking why. | 19:39 |
| BlueProtoman | I just have a blank list of drivers. | 19:39 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: it seems reckless. | 19:39 |
| xskydevilx | Simkin, God damn it. | 19:39 |
| MiJyn | Simkin, why doesn't the linux version of skype work? | 19:39 |
| Simkin | MiJyn: it works, it's just old | 19:39 |
| MiJyn | Simkin, what functionality do you need? | 19:40 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, are you on a laptop using a Synaptic compatible touchpad? | 19:40 |
| Simkin | MiJyn: not me, xskydevilx | 19:40 |
| GuestPl | Any good slideshow software anyone would recommend? | 19:40 |
| x_ | Stereocaulon, yes, but i am using mouse | 19:40 |
| Simkin | GuestPl: google docs | 19:40 |
| david__ | I believe that's where I am, there's a Makefile in this folder and when I type the command make, it lists a list of possible command. Is it possible that there is no uninstall target for a project? | 19:40 |
| Floyd42 | simkin: I see. So according to you, downloading the Google Chrome installer from Google Chrome's official website and installing it is reckless. What nonsense. | 19:40 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx, what functionality do you need of Skype that the linux version doesn't have? | 19:40 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, To be realistic, video calling doesn't work for me at all. | 19:41 |
| BlueProtoman | Any tips? Come on, I really need to fix my graphics drivers quickly. | 19:41 |
| eutheria | oh i love the way all but skype in the top panel selection works correctly | 19:41 |
| david__ | there's also a setup.py, not sure if I used that when I installed it but maybe, been a few days ago | 19:41 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx, what doesn't work? What happens? | 19:41 |
| x_ | Everyone, are you ok with Ubuntu scroll speed? | 19:41 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: why is that a better option than using the repository. | 19:41 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, It quits the app when I try to call someone. | 19:41 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, the Synaptic driver contains special settings to set scroll speed globally. This was confirmed recently in this post: http://www.linuxine.com/story/set-mouse-wheel-scrolling-speed-globally | 19:41 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: think of all the problems not using repository causes. | 19:42 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, Video call, that is. | 19:42 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: including distribution upgrades. | 19:42 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilsx, try running it in a terminal window, and see what comes up in the output | 19:42 |
| Simkin | orphaned files | 19:42 |
| Simkin | dependancy issues | 19:42 |
| MiJyn | Simkin, the google chrome .deb installs the repo | 19:42 |
| x_ | Stereocaulon, i will have a look at this | 19:42 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, I do not have recent experience with this, since the last time I used a Synaptic touchpad was way back in 1997 | 19:42 |
| david__ | ok i remember, I used python setup.py install to isntall it. | 19:42 |
| likorat | Hi, is there any place where I could find doc about how to handle file tags in command line ? | 19:42 |
| MirkoKa | david__: yes, some don't have an uninstall target, what you can try is to install it again with "python setup.py install --record files.txt" and then see files.txt do know wich files it installed | 19:43 |
| MiJyn | likorat, could you elaborate on what you mean by file tags? | 19:43 |
| david__ | then I just delete them? | 19:43 |
| pratz | guys i am in a real trouble now | 19:43 |
| Floyd42 | simkin: for god's sake you doofus. you do know that google chrome , when you install the file from hte website, automatically installs the repository on your system, don't you? stop making so much noise without proper knowledge. | 19:43 |
| pratz | i can see every thing in japaness or chiness | 19:43 |
| MiJyn | pratz, could you tell us the problem that puts you in trouble? | 19:44 |
| pratz | i do not know what it is | 19:44 |
| xskydevilx | Is there any client that utilieses Skype in a nice interface? | 19:44 |
| pratz | all the os is converted to japaness | 19:44 |
| likorat | In nautilus, you can just right-click on a file and in the context menu a tags option appears, there you can add/remove tags for the file | 19:44 |
| Stereocaulon | x_, you are not the only one searching for that option. In the Old XServer configuration file there was something like VertScrollDelta, that be a place to start apart from the Synaptic specific solution. | 19:44 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: i had no idea.... that is why i asked you a question. | 19:44 |
| MiJyn | pratz, try removing the chinese and japanese codecs | 19:44 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: why are you being such a flagrant jerk? | 19:44 |
| MirkoKa | david__: yes, but better move them somewher else, just so you don't lose any files which you might want to keep | 19:44 |
| pratz | also the terminal fonts and every font in os is changed | 19:44 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx, empathy? | 19:44 |
| pratz | how can i restore font and keyboard layout ? | 19:44 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, Empathy supports Skype? | 19:45 |
| MiJyn | pratz, what version of ubuntu do you have, and did you clean install or upgrade? | 19:45 |
| pratz | MiJyn: 12.04 clean install | 19:45 |

| david__ | alright, and is there something else I need to remove like some kind of PATH that links the command with the folder of the executable? | 19:45 |
| MiJyn | pratz, you didn't have this problem in previous versions? | 19:45 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz, try finding a button marked: 出口 | 19:45 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, Beautiful. | 19:45 |
| pratz | MiJyn: everything was running fine till in installed mintmenu | 19:45 |
| Floyd42 | simkin: well, now you do. and stop being such a pansy. try acquiring some knowledge before questioning someone in an accusatory manner. | 19:45 |
| pratz | Stereocaulon: are you kidding me ? | 19:46 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: i asked why are you suggesting someoen downloading without using repisitories and you started berating me instead of just telling me the answer you gave me now........ it installs the repositories. | 19:46 |
| pratz | MiJyn: no | 19:46 |
| Roberto | Question: http://i.imgur.com/a7IH2.jpg -- I don't need no source code so I can uncheck all those PPAs ? | 19:46 |
| MirkoKa | david__: at least that's possible, but for that you have to read the setup.py (if you can understand python code) | 19:46 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz, no, I'm trying to help you, those characters mean Exit. | 19:46 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx, yeah, don't you love how people make closed-source apps and people like you and me have a heck of a time trying to find an alternative? :P | 19:46 |
| Simkin | Floyd42: maybe you should nap | 19:46 |

| totesmuhgoats | hi friends | 19:46 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, Exactly. Well if only a lot more people used Google Talk. | 19:47 |
| pratz | MiJyn: I removed it already | 19:47 |
| totesmuhgoats | I have some updates available, but when I run sudo apt-get upgrade it says that some packages will be held back and does not update them | 19:47 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx, or open-source protocols :D | 19:47 |
| pratz | Stereocaulon: but where do i find them ? | 19:47 |
| totesmuhgoats | how can i get it to complete the update? | 19:47 |
| MiJyn | pratz, purged? | 19:47 |
| kanapka | MiJyn: when i choose 'install flash' in flash-doctor it ask me about the bitrate, then shows a few pop-up windows and closes them too fast for me to read them | 19:47 |
| pratz | MiJyn: yes | 19:47 |
| david__ | I can give it a shot. My windows background assumed there was a central place where all Path are defined | 19:47 |
| MiJyn | kanapka, hmm... I should update it then | 19:47 |
| lgp171188 | totesmuhgoats: probably some of the packages have unsatisfied (yet) dependencies. | 19:47 |
| MiJyn | kanapka, try Floyd42's suggestion of using google chrome | 19:48 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, As long as it works on Linux, it fits me. And Google will always work on their Linux versions, since Chrome OS is Linux based. Take a look at Flash for Linux. Chrome is the only browser that'll update the versions. | 19:48 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, That's nice of us to do, right? | 19:48 |
| zvacet | totesmuhgoats: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:48 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, *them, I mean. | 19:48 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx, not nice of adobe to do it | 19:48 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz, where you would look for the logout button, the placement for this button differs between Desktop Environments. I use LXDE, but you are probably running Unity, aren't you? | 19:49 |
| kanapka | MyJyn: can in be because i've done su root in console only (and i'm logged as another user)? i'm dl-in chrome now | 19:49 |
| totesmuhgoats | zvacet: won't that update me to 12.04? | 19:49 |
| zvacet | totesmuhgoats: no | 19:49 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, Adobe are really jerks when it comes to Linux. They litterally are flippin' us off every time they do something like that. | 19:49 |
| Stereocaulon | xskydevilx, amen to that. | 19:49 |
| pratz | Stereocaulon: no class gnome desktop | 19:49 |
| MiJyn | kanapka maybe. I'll try to update the script so that it'll work with newer versions | 19:49 |
| pratz | Stereocaulon: but i restarted my computer for 3-4 times now | 19:49 |
| pratz | the same thing | 19:50 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx yeah, I'm so happy the W3C guys made HTML5 :D | 19:50 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz, in the logon screen you can select which language you want to start. | 19:50 |
| totesmuhgoats | zvacet: thanks, it seems to be working now. hopefully this will resolve my issue | 19:50 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx I don't get why people still use flash when HTML5 is ready | 19:50 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, Cause most sites use it. Such as YouTube. | 19:51 |
| david__ | how do you get the path of an executable in the command line? | 19:51 |
| johnnyonflame | For whatever reason, ubuntu is detecting a random HDD accelerometer on my notebook as a Joystick | 19:51 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx yep! If only they could make all videos use HTML5 | 19:51 |
| johnnyonflame | making EVERY SINGLE program that uses joystick mad | 19:51 |
| MiJyn | david__ try the which command | 19:51 |
| pratz | Stereocaulon: so , you mean to say i should logout now and try again | 19:51 |
| pratz | Stereocaulon: will try that | 19:51 |

I have a macbook pro, and made it a dual-boot with Ubuntu (reFit) now I want to install snow leopard in a VM (VirtualBox) in Ubuntu, I think this should be easier? since I am on a Mac already, does anyone have experiences with this? or installing Mac OS X in a VM ? | 19:52 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx Awesome! | 19:52 |
| totesmuhgoats | brb | 19:52 |
| mathias | Sidewinder: Found the problem. A bug in the postinsall script. | 19:53 |

| MiJyn | x_ oh, that'a window manager issue | 19:53 |
| vespakoen | krababbel, have you tried yourself? | 19:53 |
| MiJyn | x_ do you use the system title-bars or chrome's (chromeless) title bars? | 19:53 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, Meh. They can't call me and complain about the layout, at least. I am getting off-topic.. | 19:53 |

| pratz | Stereocaulon: wtf , it shows english there | 19:54 |
| mguy | I was using both drives in 11.10 | 19:54 |
| krababbel | vespakoen: no, I read virtualbox doesn't support maxos | 19:54 |
| pratz | Stereocaulon: no ways this is bad | 19:54 |
| pratz | Stereocaulon: how can i restore the fonts ? | 19:54 |
| MiJyn | xskydevilx, well, if you can convince them to migrate all of their vids to HTML5, everyone is going to be happy (except for adobe :P) | 19:54 |
| krababbel | vespakoen: but you can ask in #vbox | 19:54 |
| vespakoen | Yeh trying there already | 19:54 |
| vespakoen | it actually has a Mac OS X Server option in there, and it is possible to install leopard | 19:55 |
| x_ | MiJyn, it is so ugly when use "system title bar" option checken in chromium | 19:55 |
| xskydevilx | MiJyn, Adobe can shove it up theirs.. I wish Flash just died, and companies started making animated ads in HTML5. | 19:55 |
| johnnyonflame | how can I disable a joystick mapped to /dev/input/js0? | 19:55 |
| vespakoen | but for "normal" computers, you have to install some EFI stuff, I think, since i am on a mac, i dont need that stuff, but it looks like i am the only one trying this hehe | 19:55 |

| FloodBot1 | AnonymousPenguin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:59 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz, since ubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage, you might try uninstalling that and reinstalling them. Like so: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. After that that, just log off and on again | 19:59 |

| pickleddoe | greensimian: Hey there | 20:15 |
| Talisman | I've just started using it, so I went woth 11.10 and then upgraded to 12.04 | 20:15 |
| Talisman | bobk, ^ | 20:15 |
| krababbel | AnonymousPenguin: no problem, haven't done this in a while though. What soundchip is it? Realtek? | 20:15 |
| greensimian | pickleddoe: Sup | 20:15 |
| mguy | Is there any kind of formatting or partitioning I need to do to get Ubuntu to recognize my HD? It is not listed in the installer | 20:15 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz, the language of your screenshot is actually that: Classic Chinese. When I look at the characters for exit, they make sense, so it cannot be a font problem, instead it's a locale problem | 20:15 |
| mguy | Shows up in dmesg though | 20:15 |

| ubottu | bobk: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) | 20:16 |
| krababbel | mguy: what is your hd? | 20:16 |
| mguy | WD 750GB SATA on port 1, it recognizes my 250 on sata port 3 | 20:16 |
| mguy | Disk Utility shows both dries | 20:16 |
| bobk | so what happens after that to 10.04, can a person still use it? | 20:17 |
| dlentz | bobk, yes, but you won't receive any more updates | 20:17 |
| krababbel | mguy: did you choose 'along windows' or something? Is the 750 the first drive to boot in BIOS? | 20:17 |
| dlentz | !eol | 20:17 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 20:17 |
| Stereocaulon | bobk, running 10.04 without updates is not safe after a while. | 20:17 |
| bobk | hmmmm so how many of u are happy with this 12.04? | 20:18 |
| MiJyn | bobk, I certainly am :D | 20:18 |

| MajorM | Hello I've been trying to install Skype, So i download the Ubuntu 64 package and installed it using the command "sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb" but while the command was running i showed that error occurred with skype, but when i click the dash home i can find the Skype icon but clicking it do nothing also i started to get message at the right side of the upper bar it says "an error occurred please run the package manager or use apt-get to see what's wrong 'e | 20:19 |
| MajorM | rror : Broken Count>0' that usually mean installed packages have unmet dependencies " any suggestion is that message caused by skype set up ?? | 20:19 |
| Stereocaulon | bobk, 12.04 still contains a few bugs, but nothing that will break my system. | 20:19 |
| APoulos | Hey guys, I could use some help with a script that makes directories based off of file names - Im trying to make this a bash script that works from Nautilus, anyone able to help? PM me if so. | 20:19 |
| Stereocaulon | bobk, I only upgraded today. I did have some upgrade issues, but they were minor and most of them were easy to fix. | 20:19 |
| MiJyn | MajorM try using: sudo apt-get -f install | 20:20 |
| Stereocaulon | APoulos, try #bash | 20:20 |
| APoulos | Stereocaulon: thanks man | 20:20 |
| MajorM | MiJyn what does that do ? | 20:20 |
| railbait | I have a VPS that's back on 10.10 Maverick. I'd like to do a dist-upgrade. Should I just back up my data/home directories and give it a whirl? I've never tried it before | 20:20 |
| MiJyn | MajorM, it tries to fix any package problems | 20:20 |
| guntbert | APoulos: and don't expect 1:1 support in any channel :) | 20:20 |
| MiJyn | railbait just backup everything and clean install | 20:20 |
| ubuntu-chat-logg | that normally helps | 20:21 |
| APoulos | guntbert: yeah I know man, lol, haha | 20:21 |
| MiJyn | railbait you don't ever want to upgrade, trust me | 20:21 |
| railbait | MiJyn: Yeah the support at this service is pretty good; they're quick | 20:21 |
| railbait | MiJyn: Gotcha | 20:21 |
| Stereocaulon | APoulos, np, just make sure you read the tutorials on tldp.org first as a minimum. That channel will only help you after you have done some research of your own... | 20:21 |
| mguy | krababbel: It was leftover raid meta data, dmraid -rE fixed it | 20:21 |
| ubuntu-chat-logg | upgradeing does not work | 20:21 |
| greensimian | MiJyn: Upgrading does seem to screw everything up | 20:21 |
| ubuntu-chat-logg | backup data on dropbox clean install | 20:21 |
| MajorM | @MiJyn Thanks I'll try | 20:21 |
| dlentz | railbait, might as well install 12.04, if you upgrade to 11.04, you'll have the same issue in 5 months | 20:21 |
| bobk | how long do u think it will take for 12.04 to settle down and work as smooth as 10.04 | 20:21 |
| Stereocaulon | APoulos, in fact the #bash channel also has a bot, though that one is not quite as sophisticated as ubottu here ;-) | 20:22 |
| ubuntu-chat-logg | i only install 3 programs dropbox and skype | 20:22 |
| krababbel | mguy: thanks | 20:22 |
| ubuntu-chat-logg | ops 2 programs | 20:22 |
| drdozer | I'm getting "/etc/mtab: Input/output error" on my usb drive that I've booted from | 20:22 |
| drdozer | is there a way to repair this file? | 20:22 |
| LinuxMonkey | johnnyonflame:ok i got some info.lool can you do a "xinput list" and paste the info in a pastebin | 20:22 |
| MiJyn | greensimian yeah, I spent 30 hours trying to fix my broken computer (to which I just broke more lol) | 20:22 |
| APoulos | Stereocaulon: I know a bit of bash, Im no dummy, just need a little helping hand | 20:22 |
| mneptok | railbait: dist-upgrade does not move you between releases. | 20:22 |
| MiJyn | drdozer try rebooting | 20:22 |
| guntbert | bobk: usually after the first "point" release 12.04.1 - last one was about july | 20:22 |
| mguy | krababbel: It'd be nice if it told you what the problem was instead of just not showing it in the list :( | 20:22 |
| drdozer | MiJyn: no joy - it persists across reboots | 20:22 |
| BaconAttack_ | Hey so sometimes I randomly lose access to write files anywhere. As an example I'll try to paste a file to desktop and it says that directory doesn't exist. A restart usually helps but that's not very convenient. Any ideas?. | 20:22 |
| pratz_ | Stereocaulon: thanks dude that was helpful | 20:23 |
| Stereocaulon | APoulos, in that case, you should feel right at home there. It's mostly a very friendly channel. | 20:23 |
| pratz_ | Stereocaulon: some chiness was set to it | 20:23 |
| mneptok | railbait: to go from 10.10 to 12.04 you have to go through 11.04 and 11.10 along the way. | 20:23 |
| MiJyn | drdozer, hmm, could you pastebin the contents of the file? | 20:23 |
| bobk | how smooth is it to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04? | 20:23 |
| APoulos | railbait: oh before you do a dist-upgrade - I suggest you go `sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade | 20:23 |
| dlentz | bobk, by the time lucid goes eol ubuntu 12.04.2 bugfix will be out | 20:23 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz_, did it solve your issues? Are you back on EN again? | 20:23 |
| johnnyonflame | LinuxMonkey, http://pastebin.com/9F1anHRw | 20:23 |

| pratz_ | Stereocaulon: yes dude , thanks | 20:23 |
| MiJyn | bobk, well, you have to go to 10.10, then 11.04, then 11.10, then 12.04, which will lead up to something totally broken | 20:23 |
| johnnyonflame | even my videobus and webcam are detected as weird stuff | 20:23 |
| drdozer | MiJyn: no - when I try to cat it, it prints out "cat: /etc/mtab: Input/output error" - I can't get at the content of the file | 20:23 |
| pratz_ | Stereocaulon: but i guess this might be a bug | 20:24 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz_, glad to help you :-) | 20:24 |
| dlentz | MiJyn, you can upgrade fropm one lts to the next | 20:24 |
| MiJyn | drdozer, even sudo cat /etc/mtab? | 20:24 |
| drdozer | MiJyn: yes, even sudo | 20:24 |
| pratz_ | Stereocaulon: really wiered, was using 10.04 for 3 years and never had any problems | 20:24 |
| MiJyn | dlentz, really? well, still, there would be problems | 20:24 |
| mneptok | one last time people. "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" DOES NOT move you between release. | 20:24 |
| Stereocaulon | pratz_, in that case, do you know what might have caused it? | 20:24 |
| MirkoKa | drdozer: your usb drive is (hopefully just slightly) damadged, try an fsck from a livecd | 20:24 |
| MiJyn | drdozer, try running: stat /etc/mtab | 20:25 |
| MiJyn | drdozer or sudo stat /etc/mtab | 20:25 |
| pratz_ | Stereocaulon: any ways thanks again, for bringing me and my os back to normal | 20:25 |

| drdozer | MirkoKa: "stat: cannot stat `/etc/mtab': Input/output error" | 20:25 |
| Talisman | bobk, I'm having issues with it right now with no resolution. | 20:25 |
| railbait | MiJyn, mneptok: Thanks for your help! I will continue on correctly | 20:25 |
| MiJyn | drdozer, what version of ubuntu do you have, and did you clean install or upgrade it? | 20:26 |
| MiJyn | railbait no problem :D | 20:26 |

| Stereocaulon | nintet, what guest OS are you using? | 20:27 |

| johnnyonflame | LinuxMonkey, ikr, it gets weirder by the second | 20:28 |
| Stereocaulon | nintet, qemu emulates an entire computer. Did you select any soundcard? | 20:28 |
| mneptok | drdozer: no, you make a CD or DVD. or install to external disk. or install to USB flash media. | 20:28 |
| nintet | yes ac97 | 20:28 |
| MiJyn | drdozer, try using a livecd of something lighter, like lubuntu or xubuntu | 20:28 |
| nintet | and installed the driver | 20:28 |
| nintet | windows thinks it is working | 20:28 |
| Stereocaulon | nintet, ah, yes, as standard as they come...AC'97. The alsa sink might not be connected yet. Could you check that? | 20:29 |

| drdozer | MirkoKa: it gets to grub, I choose a kernel and it then hangs | 20:37 |
| jconnolly | compiz --replace yields that gist. | 20:37 |
| drdozer | MirkoKa: doesn't touch any logs, ctrl+alt+delete will reboot | 20:37 |
| drdozer | MirkoKa: the network interface doesn't come up - no ping/ssh, and the LEDs on the network cable look like it's just plugged in | 20:38 |
| MirkoKa | drdozer: choose the ubuntu line, press 'e', in the following list choose the line that begins with "linux", press 'e' again, then you can edit the line, go to the end and remove the quite and splash options, then press CTRL -x to boot. you will see booting details which hopefully tell where it stops | 20:39 |

| guntbert | azertyui: I cannot understand how you can be able to "customize" it bit not to compile it - please look into the README and INSTALL files in the source directory | 20:42 |
| MirkoKa | azertyui: most sources need additional *-dev packages with the headers for libraries for example. you need to install them too. either by running "sudo apt-get build-dep" inside the source directory or by manually install all required *-dev packages (listed in the README, INSTALL and similar files as guntbert said) | 20:43 |

| cannonball | Hello all, has there been a modification in sudo operation? Since upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04, 'sudo apt-get install PKG' fails because /sbin and /usr/sbin are no longer in the PATH of my user. Is there maybe some group I should set so that those automatically get inserted into the path? | 20:45 |
| Bytes | hello | 20:45 |
| azertyui | i got a customize vlc package from my isp | 20:45 |
| Bytes | I just installed Xubuntu and deleted all other partitions | 20:45 |
| Bytes | it works fine, but the grub menu doesn't show up | 20:46 |
| azertyui | he provide the source code for ubuntu pc | 20:46 |
| Bytes | does it not show it if no toher oses are isntalled? | 20:46 |
| Bytes | other* | 20:46 |
| MirkoKa | azertyui: so what's the problem? you've gotten all the info needed, install the required *-dev packages | 20:46 |
| azertyui | so i absolutly need to compile the package from it 's source | 20:46 |
| johnnyonflame | LinuxMonkey, I see, thanks tho | 20:46 |
| Bytes | if i have no other oses except for xubuntu, does it just boot into xubuntu without a grub menu appearing? | 20:47 |
| cannonball | by "fails" I mean that the post install script (for example) fails because ldconfig is not in the path. | 20:47 |
| azertyui | during the compile process, by running ./configure there are lots of broken package i got enough by installing each package individually | 20:47 |
| azertyui | and something i can't find the package so | 20:47 |
| azertyui | i need to do in other way | 20:48 |
| Bytes | hello? | 20:48 |
| gnubie | Bytes I believe you hold the shift key on boot to get grub with just xubuntu | 20:48 |
| owenll | Bytes: I have just ubuntu installed and don't see a grub menu | 20:48 |
| Bytes | oh okay | 20:48 |
| Bytes | so it only shows up when there's more than one os correct? | 20:48 |
| azertyui | do you get what i mean or are you still asking to install from its repo by doing an apt-get install vlc ? | 20:48 |
| elijah | possibly-useless-fact, when I started using Ubuntu around 7.04 about 5 years ago, this IRC channel had between 700-900 users in it. That's all. | 20:48 |
| LinuxMonkey | johnnyonflame: i know there are ways to go deep into the system and disable it too but that gets very complex | 20:48 |
| gnubie | Bytes I think that is the way it works | 20:48 |
| owenll | Bytes: yes - do you need to see the menu for some reason? | 20:49 |
| MirkoKa | azertyui: do install the source code from the repos, then run "sudo apt-get build-deb" to install those required packages. then try to compile your sources again | 20:49 |
| Bytes | Okay thanks | 20:49 |
| guntbert | azertyui: ask your providerm how to do it - and please stay friendly, no need for calling us "listen man" ... | 20:49 |
| Bytes | Oh no owenll I usually dual boot so I see it, but I onyl have xubuntu now so i was just curious :P | 20:49 |

| fraterm | "Working as (perhaps poorly or unexpectedly or non-intuitively) Designed" | 20:50 |
| azertyui | i mean what do you mean by do install the source code from the repos ? | 20:51 |
| tiago | I wanted to ask you if you think that in "free -m" is it normal to have total: 3819 used : 155 with only a few apps open... | 20:51 |
| diegoviola | hi | 20:51 |
| MirkoKa | azertyui: "sudo apt-get source vlc" but first you need to enable the source repository in the software center or synaptic | 20:52 |
| sirriffsalot | diegoviola: hey! | 20:52 |
| diegoviola | my gf is trying ubuntu for first time but she can't establish PPPoE connection | 20:52 |
| alankila | tiago: read 2nd line of free -m | 20:52 |
| alankila | it's much closer to the truth when it comes to how much memory actually is free | 20:52 |
| tiago | alankila: -/+ buffers/cache: 991 2827 | 20:53 |
| alankila | tiago: so you have 991 MB used, 2827 MB free, when the largely unnecessary parts are eliminated. | 20:54 |
| Stereocaulon | diegoviola, Is your gf using a modem or a modem/ router? | 20:54 |
| richtroye | azertyui Probably if you need to install your custom vlc, the best way is first to *build* the stock one, as MirkoKa has described; that will put the necessary build dependencies in place. *Then* build your custom-vlc tree. | 20:54 |
| geekwani | while installing ubuntu, at the point where we select manual partitions, what option to select in "Device for Bootloader Installation" if I am dual booting with windows 7 -> /dev/sda (entire HDD) || /dev/sda5 (Partition where I install Ubuntu) | 20:54 |
| geekwani | ? | 20:55 |
| azertyui | i m sorry i forget my english | 20:55 |
| Stereocaulon | geekwani, normally you would choose /dev/sda | 20:55 |

| Stereocaulon | diegoviola, how is your modem connected to your computer? | 20:56 |
| diegoviola | Stereocaulon: i suspect something to do with the gateway? | 20:56 |
| geekwani | last time i tried that.. it caused conflicts with my recovery partition | 20:56 |
| Stereocaulon | diegoviola, could be the gateway, please pastebin sudo ifconfig | 20:57 |

| tiago | Alankilla: thanks! | 21:00 |
| MirkoKa | geekwani: there's an alternative way, a little hard to describe over IRC. install the bootmanager to the linux partition (/dev/sdaX). you won't be able to boot into ubuntu. instead boot a livecd, make a copy of the boot sector with dd, copy it to your windows partition and create an entry in the windows bootmanager to "boot" from the bootsector backup file. | 21:00 |
| diegoviola | Stereocaulon: thanks | 21:01 |
| diegoviola | Stereocaulon: unfortunately the help is not for me, it's for my gf :-) | 21:01 |
| geekwani | MirkoKa.. i'll try to figure that out.. i get what you are saying... | 21:01 |
| diegoviola | Stereocaulon: thanks for the help though | 21:01 |
| MirkoKa | geekwani: or, a method with i have not yet tried myself: instert a usb pen drive before you start the installtion, then install the bootmanager to that mbr, hopefully that will make ubuntu boot when you boot from the pen drive | 21:01 |
| diegoviola | Stereocaulon: i will get her to buy a router or something | 21:02 |
| diegoviola | Stereocaulon: i guess it will be easier for her | 21:02 |

But, all of the tutorials I see reference GParted and it looks like I just have parted. I'm nervous about messing my system up. Can this be done with parted, or do I need to download a live CD iso that has GParted? | 21:25 |

| aleprovencio | MirkoKa, yes xchat | 21:25 |

| xangua | clh: you need to use a live cd, you can not resize a partition you are using | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | clh: It can be done with parted (Parted and GParted share the same libraries, libparted, and parted actually handles displaying of error messages better than GParted in some cases). | 21:26 |
| xangua | clh: gparted has a standalon live version | 21:26 |

| hellknight | anyone here using Ubuntu on AMD Fusion? | 21:29 |
| MirkoKa | aleprovencio: changing the conflicting XChat shortcuts is the only way I personally see | 21:31 |
| Bytes | is there a way to view your system info on xubuntu? | 21:31 |
| DigiDaz_ | anyone had any trouble sshing an ubuntu box? | 21:31 |
| hellknight | really.. no AMD Fusion users?? | 21:31 |
| MirkoKa | altin: why besides of the mkdir command? what's wrong with it? | 21:31 |
| totesmuhgoots | Bytes, what sort of info? | 21:31 |
| Bytes | like if it is 64bit, cpu, ram | 21:32 |
| Bytes | just how much of it like 4gigs of ram 2.20 ghz cpu | 21:32 |
| Bytes | not system monitoring | 21:32 |
| aleprovencio | MirkoKa, i can change most of them, except for those calling first-level items called by alt-<something>, such as alt+d takes to the discussion menu | 21:32 |
| MirkoKa | DigiDaz_: sure, what's your question? | 21:32 |
| totesmuhgoots | Bytes, at the command line you can try the uname command | 21:32 |
| metallico | DigiDaz_, once i forgot to open the port. check that | 21:32 |
| totesmuhgoots | that will show you your version of linux, 32 bit or 64 bit | 21:32 |

| iandalton | I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and GNOME Shell. I mapped Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, etc. to switch workspaces, but it doesn't work. How can I start troubleshooting this? | 21:33 |

| Izinucs | I just killed the dropbox process that's been hanging my upgrade.. when I do a pidof dropbox no process is listed but it does show up in System Monitor still eating 50% of the CPU.. How do I kill it? | 21:33 |
| hellknight | isinucs, use kill -9 PID | 21:33 |
| aleprovencio | MirkoKa, knowing how to disabling this solves it :) | 21:33 |
| DigiDaz_ | Basically, ssh to a number of boxes has been failing, the ports are opened and I have narrowed it down a little, even ssh @localhost fails | 21:33 |
| Daekdroom | hellknight, why don't you just ask your question right away? Using AMD Fusion or not does not limit anyone's knowledge. | 21:33 |
| hellknight | Izinucs, kill -9 PID | 21:33 |
| totesmuhgoots | Bytes, and dmesg | grep Processor | 21:34 |
| newby | I want to set BGR pixel layout with "sudo -u ubuntu gsettings set 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings''rgba-order''bgr'" from a root shell script for user ubuntu. Why wouldnt this work? | 21:34 |
| hellknight | Daekdroom, I just want to know if the HW acceleration is running fine on the Radeon cores | 21:34 |
| Bytes | type in grep processor? | 21:34 |
| Jordan_U | Izinucs: Did you try to have them switch to the right / left? GNOME3 (for me at least) defaults to creating work space 1 above workspace 2 (which confused me when ctrl+alt+right arrow first failed). | 21:34 |
| DigiDaz_ | It appears to be some sort of timing out, it takes ages but will eventually log in if the default time out is changed | 21:34 |
| Izinucs | hellknight: I did that previously.. now there's no longer a pid number | 21:34 |
| newby | how would i script gsettings set for a specific user instead? | 21:35 |
| hellknight | I'm thining about getting a AMD Fusion based netbook. So I need to know if Ubuntu makes use of those radeon cores on the APU | 21:35 |

| dontknow | Stereocaulon, click and play was active in chromium, i allowed for extension site and i can install them now :D | 21:59 |
| Floyd42 | It's all subjective, isn't it. I mean, I don't like it because I prefer using a mouse to the keyboard to navigate to stuff. | 21:59 |
| iandalton | sorry, that second was directed at dontknow | 21:59 |
| Talisman | sounds familiar | 21:59 |
| Stereocaulon | Floyd42, if so, then why don't you switch to another Desktop Environment? LXDE suits me fine and can be controlled with keyboard or mouse | 22:00 |
| eutheria | ideally i would like all notifications from applications to be in the top panel not the launcher | 22:01 |
| Floyd42 | You're assuming I'm using Ubuntu with Unity. That's incorrect. | 22:01 |
| eutheria | and i would be happy with a simple button to bring up an application menu | 22:01 |
| Floyd42 | stereocaulon: You're assuming I'm using Ubuntu with Unity. That's incorrect. | 22:01 |
| Talisman | Floyd42, fluxbox is great if you like mouse navigation. | 22:01 |
| * Talisman has been using it foe about 6 years | 22:01 | |
| gauravgrt1 | still no progress....i don't know why ubuntu doesn't let me open my own account | 22:02 |
| Floyd42 | talisman: Fluxbox is awesome, I agree. Very minimalistic, lightweight, yet functional. | 22:02 |
| Talisman | Floyd42, trudat | 22:02 |
| Floyd42 | gauravgrt1: what are you trying to do? | 22:02 |
| Stereocaulon | Floyd42, why should I assume that you use anything specific? I'm just reacting to your preference for a mouse-controlled Desktop. | 22:02 |
| Talisman | Floyd42, it does work with ubuntu as well.. I've tried it last week, | 22:02 |
| gauravgrt1 | Floyd42:hey someone accidently removed my nvidia drivers from my computer and now i can't even log into my own account | 22:03 |
| Floyd42 | talisman: Righto. I'm on SL though. I run Ubuntu in Virtualbox if I need any of the latest software and stuff .. | 22:04 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: switch to a TTY | 22:04 |
| Talisman | SL? slackware? | 22:04 |
| iandalton | ctrl-alt-F1 | 22:04 |
| dontknow | could someone refer my name and say something, i wil try something | 22:04 |
| Floyd42 | Talisman: Scientific Linux, it's a rhel clone .. | 22:04 |
| iandalton | dontknow: sup | 22:04 |
| Talisman | ah right. | 22:04 |
| * Talisman keeps away from RHEL with a 10 foot barge pole | 22:04 | |
| owenll | dontknow: try this | 22:04 |
| Stereocaulon | Floyd42, yes that distro is really stable, if a bit barebones. | 22:05 |
| eutheria | Talisman, sadly a lot of corporations have deployed rhel | 22:05 |
| Talisman | aye, I know right. | 22:05 |

| ubottu | #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! | 22:05 |
| Floyd42 | stereocaulon: It's meant to be a distro but I use it on my laptop anyway. Software's a bit outdated, that's all. Very stable however, as you say. | 22:05 |
| eutheria | Talisman, rhel's slogan should be, proving linux can be more expensive and worse than windows, much much worse | 22:06 |
| Floyd42 | stereocaulon: *server distro (forgot to type the word) | 22:06 |
| nintet | i get no sound with a VM in ubuntu 12 | 22:06 |
| Talisman | eutheria, I agree with that. | 22:06 |
| ano123 | this doesnt belong here, but how can i make all those joins and leaves not appear? :D using irssi | 22:06 |
| paulmaidment | Hi all | 22:06 |
| * Talisman also has VM problems with 12.04 | 22:06 | |
| eutheria | Talisman, however you have got to understand that a lot of these guys who deploy rhel come from a solaris back ground and think it is wonderful, compared to solaris they used they didn't have to compile apache themselves!! | 22:06 |

| paulmaidment | question regarding crash of lightdm, am I in the right place? | 22:06 |
| Jordan_U | Floyd42: eutheria: Please move offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 22:07 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: maybe your xorg.conf is hosed? | 22:07 |
| * Talisman hides from Jordan_U | 22:07 | |
| Talisman | ^_^ | 22:07 |
| iandalton | Or rather, incompatible with whatever free driver you're using now | 22:07 |
| Stereocaulon | Talisman, I run CentOS 6 on my VPS, runs quite well, but there are some packages that I miss there. Well, my Desktop runs tripleboot Ubuntu12.04, Haiku and for some games: WinXP SP3 behind a very restrictive firewall. | 22:07 |
| * Talisman heads off to sleepy land anyway... | 22:07 | |
| Talisman | ciao | 22:07 |
| tiago | Hello everyone! I wanted to know if it's normal in "free -m" to have Mem: 3819 - used: 2391 /// ane buffers/cache - used: 1324 - free 2495. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 under Gnome 3.4 and I'm with a few apps open such like skype, pidgin, clementine, chromium and xchat... | 22:07 |
| iandalton | brb | 22:07 |
| Stereocaulon | Talisman, good night | 22:07 |
| Floyd42 | jordan_u eutheria: what discussion? i wasn't having any off-topic discussion | 22:07 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: sounds fine. are you experiencing any problems? why do you ask? | 22:08 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton:someone told me to run this : mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.bak | 22:08 |
| Talisman | Stereocaulon, I've got to kick in a centos staging server for work soon... hope it all goes well.... thanks... I'll be back sometime soon :-) | 22:08 |
| paulmaidment | Hi all, anyone know where and how to diagnose a crashing problem with lightdm? | 22:08 |
| === Talisman is now known as Talisman`AFK | ||
| iandalton | bak | 22:08 |
| paulmaidment | It's very intermittent | 22:08 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: do you know what you're doing at the terminal? | 22:09 |
| DigiDaz_ | My SSH problem pastebin, if anyone could have a glance please: http://paste.ubuntu.com/974577/ | 22:09 |
| Stereocaulon | paulmaidment, do you have any logs that might tell something? | 22:09 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton: sorry i am a newbie | 22:09 |
| Jordan_U | gauravgrt1: I was the one who told you to do that. Have you done it? Are you able to boot normally now? | 22:09 |
| pakattack | I need some serious help! So when | 22:09 |
| paulmaidment | @Stereocaulon, I have the output from dmesg and syslog | 22:10 |
| gauravgrt1 | Jordan_U, :no i still can't boot in | 22:10 |
| === TNZ_ is now known as TNZfr | ||
| paulmaidment | they seem to indicate "acpi client disconnected" at around the time of the error | 22:10 |
| Floyd42 | paulmaidment: do you have ATI drivers? | 22:10 |
| paulmaidment | NVidia | 22:10 |
| Jordan_U | gauravgrt1: Did the mv command complete without any error message? What happens now when you try to boot? | 22:10 |
| paulmaidment | It's a GTX470 card | 22:10 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: I ask because it's easy to mess things up at the terminal | 22:10 |
| Stereocaulon | !enter | paulmaidment | 22:11 |
| ubottu | paulmaidment: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:11 |
| iandalton | the command you quoted will move xorg.conf to a backup file | 22:11 |
| paulmaidment | sorry about the multi line guys! | 22:11 |
| Floyd42 | paulmaidment: hmm. I know someone who had the same problem but he had ati drivers. reinstalling the ati drivers worked for him. | 22:12 |
| tiago | <Floyd42> Since i've been running 12.04 it seems like the computer fans or blowers (I don't know how to say it properly) are constantly on use | 22:12 |
| Stereocaulon | paulmaidment, that's OK It sounds like you are having PSU problems. | 22:12 |
| paulmaidment | it drops back to the shell during the crash, so that message indicates PSU issues? | 22:12 |
| pakattack | Whenever I try to open update manager or ubuntu software center it crashes and I get a red circle on the top right corner saying "an error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'error: brokencount>0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies". Please help nothing works | 22:12 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: install the lm-sensors package. then, monitor the cpu/hard disk temperatures to see if they are abnormally high. if they are, it could be a bunch of reasons for it. | 22:13 |
| Stereocaulon | paulmaidment, well, it is connected to acpi, which is a power management interface... | 22:13 |
| Simkin | pakattack: try this, drop to cli and sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:13 |
| gauravgrt1 | Jordan_U, :it just flashes to black screen and then back to the loginscreen without any errors | 22:13 |
| paulmaidment | Although, I do not experience any such crashes on Windows 7, so I suspect an issue with 12.04, maybe a bug? | 22:14 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: 1) dust accumulation around the fan and heat sink 2) an errant process causing high cpu usage 3) incorrect or improper video card drivers .. could be any of these reasons | 22:14 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, : ok... | 22:14 |
| vadi2 | How can I add a user to a group in ubuntu 12.04? | 22:14 |
| willfoo | hey..can anyone help to get fn+F8(switch display) working after update to 12.04 again? | 22:14 |
| gauravgrt1 | Jordan_U, :ya it happened without any errors | 22:14 |
| Stereocaulon | willfoo, do any of the other Fn keys work normally? | 22:15 |
| willfoo | yes, that one for bight are working | 22:15 |
| tiago | <Floyd42> I've already installed lm-sensors, how do i run it? Thanks! | 22:15 |
| willfoo | or also hibernate does also working | 22:15 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: open terminal, type sensors and press enter | 22:16 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: do you want to reinstall the nvidia drivers? | 22:16 |
| daninoz | hi | 22:16 |
| daninoz | i want to delete icons from the apps menu in gnome-shell. How can I do that ? | 22:16 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: on another tab in terminal, type "top" and press enter. see if any one process is hogging the cpu | 22:16 |
| willfoo | Stereocaulon: yes they do...but if I press fn+F8 it print just "p"... | 22:16 |
| Stereocaulon | paulmaidment, sometimes acpi can be a weak point for linux if the motherboard manufacturer uses a rare chipset that has poor support for linux. | 22:16 |
| paulmaidment | and the message (to give context, I am a programmer, admittedly not a system developer) seems to indicate that acpi has perhaps lost registration from the x-server (which would make sense as this would be used for clean shutdown, xserver receives message from acpi etc) So, I personally do not reckon it's a faulty PSU, more like a faulty lightdm configuration? | 22:16 |
| Floyd42 | vadi2 see this tutorial for adding users to groups: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/add-users-to-existing-groups-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot-2/ | 22:17 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, : i ran the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and it said they are upto date | 22:17 |
| paulmaidment | can I simply disable acpi and that would do it? | 22:17 |
| Jordan_U | gauravgrt1: Have you tried the Unity2D or GNOME Failsafe sessions? Have you tried logging in as the Guest user to test if that works? | 22:17 |
| tiago | <Floyd42> No sensors found! | 22:17 |
| tiago | Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. | 22:17 |
| vadi2 | Floyd42: thanks. Seems the process devolved, huh | 22:17 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: then what got uninstalled? | 22:17 |
| Stereocaulon | paulmaidment, you could try running the kernel with acpi disabled. | 22:17 |
| paulmaidment | is there an easy way to do that, a boot option? | 22:18 |
| gauravgrt1 | Jordan_U, :ya i am logged in as the guest... | 22:18 |
| Stereocaulon | paulmaidment, btw, thanks for the context :-) | 22:18 |
| paulmaidment | you are welcome :) | 22:18 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, :wait | 22:18 |
| nintet | who in here has sound comming from their guest OS in a VM? | 22:18 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: okay, looks like you gotta detect the sensors first .. | 22:18 |
| Stereocaulon | paulmaidment, yes here it is, just add: "noacpi nolapci" | 22:19 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: to do that, open terminal and type "sudo sensors-detect" | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | paulmaidment: you can add the boot option: noacpi | 22:19 |
| paulmaidment | cool, so just pop that into the grub options, update-grub and good to go? | 22:19 |
| Stereocaulon | ActionParsnip, ninja'd ;-) | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | :D | 22:19 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: and answer YES to all questions. at the end, type "yes" to have sensors-detect insert the modules into /etc/modules. then run "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools restart" | 22:19 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, :i ran the apt-get autoremove... | 22:20 |
| willfoo | Stereocaulon, Do you have any suggestion where to search regards fn keys? | 22:20 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, :some libraries were uninstalled | 22:20 |
| Stereocaulon | paulmaidment, yes, that should do the trick | 22:20 |
| paulmaidment | cool, will give that a try | 22:20 |
| pakattack | Whenever I try to open update manager or ubuntu software center it crashes and I get a red circle on the top right corner saying "an error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'error: brokencount>0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies". Please help nothing works | 22:20 |
| daninoz | how can i improve the wifi performance, it's like I loose the connection every 2 minutes | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Danio: try disabling ipv6 | 22:21 |
| tiago | <Floyd42> in the questions some say that some people had problems, is that ok? | 22:21 |
| paulmaidment | just to double check, that dmesg regarding acpi, it would not occur during a crash that had nothing to do with acpi? as far as you know? | 22:21 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: to see what has been uninstalled, try running "dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall" | 22:21 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: it's mostly safe , yes | 22:21 |
| Stereocaulon | willfoo, actually I do. you can try looking up the xkb configuration. | 22:21 |
| hanning | did anyone in here ever use an ubuntu on a SDHC card longterm? i am curious about the actual lifespan | 22:22 |
| pakattack | Anyone plz I am desperate | 22:22 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, :initially the graphics were bad...but when i moved the xconf they are okay now...however i can't login but it doesn't say bad password | 22:22 |
| tiago | <Floyd42> isn't there any other way to check cpu temperature? | 22:22 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, :ok wait...lemme try... | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pakattack: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:22 |
| Stereocaulon | willfoo, I don't know anything specific about it, just some fundamentals about what controls what in linux. | 22:22 |
| Floyd42 | tiago: well, afaik on most linux systems, you will need to detect the sensors before it will monitor and display the values. what's the problem though? | 22:23 |
| Stereocaulon | hanning, if you have the possibility, try to mount /var and the swap volume on another disk, maybe even a RAMdrive, depending on the amount of mem in the device/ box | 22:24 |
| nintet | when i play a sound in a VM i get a barely audible high-pitched line noise, does that mean that it is working? | 22:25 |
| daninoz_ | how can i delete icons from the applications menu in gnome-shell ? | 22:26 |

| ActionParsnip | nintet: what are you using to virtualize? | 22:26 |
| nintet | virt-manager | 22:27 |
| tiago | <Floyd42> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an | 22:27 |
| tiago | Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities, | 22:27 |
| tiago | e.g. stop module-init-tools ; start module-init-tools. The restart(8) utility is also available. module-init-tools stop/waiting | 22:27 |
| nintet | i guess kqemu | 22:27 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: none of those sound like they'd affect your video driver, hmm | 22:28 |

| tridentfish_ | I have a question that I can't seem to find answer to. I am wondering what it is called when you have an operating system on a server and your computer boots for the servers OS. I want to do it with ubuntu server 32 bit. | 22:33 |
| Bronze | !perl | 22:33 |
| SATop | marik yes but how much i dont know | 22:33 |
| nintet | well i asked people in here if they had sound and they all said yes that they have sound out of the box | 22:33 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: I don't know what that file is, so I can't say | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tridentfish_: pxe booting | 22:33 |
| nintet | otherwise i would try a different host OS | 22:34 |

| tiago | Hi everyone! Which one of the following do you recommend? NVIDIA accelarated graphics driver (version current) or the post-release updates (version currente-updates)? | 22:38 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton:ok...ya i shud that... | 22:38 |
| tridentfish_ | The Image is remotely stored and when you turn on the thin station the computer loads the image and run it. For what I have been just told it might be ltsp. | 22:39 |
| tridentfish_ | but for windows. | 22:39 |
| Stereocaulon | tiago, I'm using the current version and it runs everything what I throw at it. | 22:39 |
| tiago | <Stereocaulon> I'm using the current too, but I was curious about the differences between this and the current-updates | 22:40 |
| ClientAlive | I have 2 questions about nfs (I'm setting it up on 12.04 server). (1) Do you still create a regular file system (like ext3 or ext4, ntfs) on the logical volume? (2) If you plan to have one of your clients is Windows 7 accessing it, does it have to be a certain file system (like fat or ntfs) for it to be able to access it? | 22:40 |
| tiago | <Stereocaulon> Guess that trying is the only way to discover | 22:41 |
| Stereocaulon | tiago, you can just try one or the other without any harm I suppose (unless there are bugs in one of the drivers that can damage your hardware)...nVidia had one episode like that, but that was a long time ago. | 22:41 |
| wylde | tridentfish_: so you're here looking for a windows terminal server? Or wanting to host the image to boot at thin client to windows off of an Ubuntu server? | 22:41 |
| tiago | <Stereocaulon> I'll try it then, thanks! | 22:42 |
| Stereocaulon | tiago, just run a relevant benchmark along with the program you'll need it for so you can see what the difference is. Another tip would be to read the changelos. | 22:42 |
| Stereocaulon | tiago, changelo>g<s. | 22:42 |
| lledet | i need a new command line ftp client. i have a bunch of bookmarks in ncftp, but i can't symlink it to share with other users because it unlinks the file when writing. any suggestions on a client that supports bookmarks ? | 22:42 |
| B|tchX | shhh she's here | 22:42 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton: sry to bother you but a small problem...now the login screen is not displaying in proper resolution since i have moved that xorg.con file | 22:42 |
| tridentfish_ | No. Haha. I want to run ubnutu remotely from the server. | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | lledet: the ftp command is in a default install | 22:43 |
| Stereocaulon | gauravgrt1, I thought that iandalton told you to place back your original xconf.org? | 22:43 |
| wylde | tridentfish_: ok, I'm trying to understand the "for windows" part from earlier. | 22:43 |
| wad | I'm in 12.04LTS. When I get an email, Ubuntu helpfully notifies me by popping open a notification in the top-right corner of my screen. I'd like to turn this off. Any of you guys know how to turn it off? | 22:44 |
| gauravgrt1 | Stereocaulon, : ya i did... | 22:44 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: when you say 'moved', are you referring to moving it back? | 22:44 |
| iandalton | so you did 'mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf'? | 22:45 |
| dpb_ | wad: are you using thunderbird? | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | wad: which email client do you use? | 22:45 |
| wad | dpb_, yes | 22:45 |
| wad | Thunderbird | 22:45 |
| Stereocaulon | tridentfish_, that sounds like a job for ltsp allright. | 22:45 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton:mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:45 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, :ya | 22:45 |
| dpb_ | wad: so in thunderbird menu, edit->preferences, you can change in the general tab the notification settings. | 22:46 |
| wylde | tridentfish_: I think I get what you mean. Yes LTSP is what you want. I run 2 thin clients on my home network from and ubuntu 12.04 server machine using it. | 22:46 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wad: In Thunderbird do Edit > Preferences > General "When new messages arrive" > "Show Alert" | 22:46 |
| B|tchX | sudo that first iandalton | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | wad: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/09/indicator-applet-libnotify-support-for-thunderbird/ | 22:46 |
| wad | I'll try it, thanks! | 22:46 |
| iandalton | B|tchX: if gauravgrt1 didn't sudo it and isn't root, it would report an error | 22:47 |
| Stereocaulon | tridentfish_, our office is also running ltsp. You'll need to be really selective when choosing apps to run on it, with as less overhead as possible. | 22:47 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: did it give an access denied error? | 22:47 |
| iandalton | or any error? | 22:47 |
| mohd | So , sary tried to assist me with my multimedia keys been disabled .. he pointed me to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting .. but i got confused and few steps didn't not work for some reason! | 22:47 |
| tridentfish_ | So what are the requirements I have a desktop that has 8 gb of ram and a decent cpu. It is a average gaming computer. | 22:48 |
| Stereocaulon | mohd, what kind of laptop/ keyboard are you using? | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tridentfish_: you have a LOT more than required for Ubuntu | 22:48 |
| le_ | hi | 22:48 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton, :no i can now login to my account ...it's just the resolution problem at the logins screen...there are a few more errors shud i paste them... | 22:48 |
| wad | dpb_, IntuitiveNipple, ActionParsnip Thanks, that worked! | 22:48 |
| wylde | tridentfish_: your primary concern is the servers capaibilites as it's going to be doing all the real work. | 22:48 |
| Stereocaulon | tridentfish_, to give you an idea, our office server has about 128GB of RAM for 50 clients. | 22:48 |
| DigiDaz_ | How about x2go, how does that compare to ltsp? | 22:49 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: I mean when you entered the "mv /etc/X11/..." command, did it give you an error? | 22:49 |
| paddy | i is there an /MIRC that can be used on ubuntu ? | 22:49 |

| Stereocaulon | tridentfish_, that same server has dual octocore 3GHz processors. So, it's quite a beast. | 22:49 |
| gauravgrt1 | iandalton: no it ran properly ... | 22:49 |
| iandalton | Guest59487: MIRC is for Windows only. You might try Wine, or a Linux-native IRC client | 22:49 |
| DigiDaz_ | paddy: xchat? | 22:49 |
| === jgard is now known as deepsight | ||
| ActionParsnip | Guest59487: there are lots of native IRC clients, if you like the scriptability in Mirc, use irssi | 22:50 |
| Guest59487 | i own a hosting company ActionParsnip so would need one that can do it all lol | 22:50 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: OK, hmm. So you can log in fine, and you can choose the resolution of your logged in session, but the login screen itself is lo-res? | 22:50 |
| tridentfish_ | Ok thanks. For the help. | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59487: irssi can do most anything | 22:50 |
| iandalton | Guest59487: what does owning a hosting company have to do with an IRC client that 'does it all'? What do you want it to do? | 22:51 |
| Guest59487 | okies that will do do i gotta do aptget for that or can i do it on Firefox ? | 22:51 |

| iandalton | what features of mirc do you use? | 22:53 |
| iandalton | dontknow: I do | 22:54 |
| iandalton | gauravgrt1: well if it worked fine after moving xorg.conf to a backup, go back to that I guess | 22:54 |
| Stereocaulon | DigiDaz_, well, ltsp runs over a network and networks tend to have overhead. On top of that, most implementations run the user space in a chroot environment, leaving little control over the actual processes. | 22:54 |
| dontknow | iandalton, did you just install gnome-shell or install another things? | 22:54 |
| mohd | Stereocaulon: according to /usr/share/doc/udev .. running /lib/udev/findkeyboards shows "AT keyboard" | 22:54 |

I'm looking to do something similar now for an office with remote workers, maybe stick something in the cloud but I'm not sure which technology yet | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59487: what do you use in MIRC? | 22:56 |

| AeSix | Dual monitor help needed - primary PCIe Radeon 6xxx; secondary PCI nVidia (old 32 MB card) - no idea where to even begin looking again, google for the last half hour has resulted in complaints, calls for help and solutions that don't apply :S | 23:43 |
| rypervenche | yell0w: You can't. You have to search for all of the text files on the disk | 23:43 |
| rypervenche | yell0w: Then you'll have to sort through them all. | 23:43 |
| yell0w | rypervenche: @_@ that'd be a LOT of text files | 23:44 |
| rypervenche | yell0w: If you know what's in it, you can grep through all of the recovered txt files. | 23:44 |
| yell0w | darn | 23:44 |
| rypervenche | yell0w: rm is a powerful tool. You should make sure you know what you are doing before using it. | 23:44 |

| virhilo | hi | 23:48 |
| harovali1 | hi, I installed precise pergolin. During the install process, I hit 'skip' while copying files, at about the file 39 out of 95. However, the install process continued without problems. Now I want to finish installing those missing packages, and I go to the Ubuntu Manager, and after the scan of the same cd I used to install, I'm told that some untrusted packages are to be installed. I'm given no 'choice' of going ahead anyw | 23:49 |
| virhilo | there is a way to import password from another keyring ?:) | 23:49 |
| virhilo | have some passwords in my old hdd - want to merge them somehow | 23:49 |
| pakattack | Ummm....so I was running the commands from http://paste.ubuntu.com/974643/ and I get errors for the command in line 15 | 23:49 |
| pakattack | I need help | 23:49 |
| pakattack | Anyone? | 23:50 |
| Taev | ok for some reason my install wont run a graphics manager at boot, what does natty use as a default | 23:50 |

| ubottu | pakattack: 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/ | 23:51 |
| Guest46832 | is it possible to play games like gta on ubuntu using wine? | 23:52 |
| renode | is the gparted iso compatable for liveusb? | 23:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Guest46832: use http://appdb.winehq.org/ to check for game compatibility in wine | 23:53 |
| Guest46832 | thanks | 23:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Guest46832: I've seen screencaps for san andreas and I *think* vice city, but check the site for details | 23:53 |
| Guest46832 | doesnt say anything about gta | 23:54 |
| Guest46832 | i've been wanting to play san andreas | 23:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Guest46832: search by FULL name "grand theft auto" | 23:54 |
| wylde | pakattack: we would need to see the error as well as the command to be able to help you. | 23:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pakattack: for command line issues, please post a pastebin of the ENTIRE terminal session (with commands and errors as they appeared to you) | 23:55 |
| pakattack | The command is line 15 here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/974643/ | 23:55 |
| Guest46832 | ah, yes. it does support it, awesome! | 23:56 |
| wylde | Taev: it's gdm, unless you're using kubuntu, then it's kdm. | 23:56 |
| Taev | ty | 23:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Guest46832: make sure you read through the notes, some games work better than others and some need "tweaking" to get working. | 23:56 |
| Guest46832 | alright thanks | 23:56 |
| wylde | pakattack: ...and the error? .. I did say we need the error didn't I? | 23:57 |

| Guest46832 | also, i am new to ubuntu how do i learn how to install stuff using the terminal easy? | 23:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !bash | Guest46832 | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Guest46832: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE).

| Guest46832 | thanks | 23:59 |
| pakattack | As far as the error, I get a whole bunch of W: Failed to fetch (some url) could not resolve (someurl)." Then at the end I get "W: some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead" | 23:59 |
| wylde | pakattack: you added third party ppa's right? | 23:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pakattack: what is the *root* problem you are trying to resolve (this script is obviously trying to fix SOMETHING). and where did you get the script from? | 23:59 |
