[00:00] <chu> L3top: He's been asking for a while :p
[00:00] <L3top> I saw description of symptoms, no questions... sorry if I missed it... coding.
[00:00] <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.
[00:01] <spiritech> or maybe not
[00:02] <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] <xangua> !nounity | yes you have spiritech
[00:02] <`prixon> todd_, sorry, it doesn't help
[00:03] <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] <spiritech> ?
[00:04] <L3top> `prixon: yes.
[00:04] <IdleOne> spiritech: if it is not in use it wont use any resources
[00:04] <spiritech> ok.
[00:04] <spiritech> thats cool.
[00:04] <spiritech> :)
[00:04] <`prixon> L3top, yes?
[00:05] <`prixon> ohh
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <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.
[00:07] <`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?
[00:08] <`prixon> so /= primary (if possible, and if not then logical), and /home=logical. both living in an extended partition. correct?
[00:09] <spiritech> my cairo-dock menus are white with white text. i would like to be able to change this if possible.
[00:09] <spiritech> any suggestions?
[00:09] <L3top> yes `prixon
[00:09] <spiritech> maybe i will google it.
[00:10] <kantinito> try awn-manager spiritech
[00:10] <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?
[00:11] <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??
[00:12] <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?
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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.
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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.
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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?
[00:21] <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.
[00:22] <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.
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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] <sausage2> Hi. I have a question about the..... why don't the op in here take a dildo and shove it up your arse?
[00:25] <Floyd42> branicyeti: are you using kde?
[00:25] <sausage2> tsimpson: FUCK YOU
[00:25] <chu> IdleOne: ping
[00:25] <sfears> BranicYeti: can you ping the router?
[00:25] <BranicYeti> Floyd42: kde?
[00:26] <RossPaterson14> please sausage2, just leave
[00:26] <jacky> O_O
[00:26] <sausage2> RossPaterson14: you do that
[00:26] <BranicYeti> sfears: how would i go about doin that? i know the router works because im using it now on my phone
[00:26] <sfears> what kind of router?
[00:26] <Floyd42> branicyeti: don't you know what kde is?  The K desktop environment. It's an alternative to Ubuntu
[00:26] <Floyd42> branicyeti: geez. sorry, Gnome, not Ubuntu
[00:27] <BranicYeti> sfears: bt
[00:27] <RossPaterson14> BranicYeti: Sorry! I have no idea what could be wrong... I havent done much networking for a while :(
[00:27] <BranicYeti> Floyd42: nope. im new to ubuntu. im a windows user usually
[00:27] <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?
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <BranicYeti> Floyd42: your-message
[00:29] <sfears> Floyd42: KDE is not an alternative to Ubuntu.  It's an alternative Desktop Manager for Ubuntu
[00:29] <BranicYeti> that failed...
[00:29] <Floyd42> sfears: I know, it was a typo. See my next message after that.
[00:29] <jbwiv___> how does one set environment variables so that they affect programs in gnome-session (assuming unity still uses that?)
[00:30] <BranicYeti> i feel like a fool. i was checking the settings of the wrong router. thank you rosspatterson, you were correct. apologies everyone
[00:30] <quintopia> i'm in the middle of a ubuntu server upgrade. how do i find out how to answer to the "interfaces on which the dhcpv6 client sends messages" question. i have 2 IPs.
[00:30] <RossPaterson14> has anyone had iPod sync issues on Rhythmbox?
[00:31] <Floyd42> rosspaterson14: I've used it once to transfer music, but it took *ages*
[00:31] <sfears> RossPaterson14: try banshee
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <xangua> RossPaterson14: it depends on the ubuntu version or iOS version you use, but normally when apple upgrades the firmware, the support breakes
[00:34] <RossPaterson14> its relatively old in terms of firmware, also my Classic and Shuffle exhibit the same problem
[00:34] <RossPaterson14> when I try and drag a song from the library to the device it doesnt sync, but doesnt report any errors
[00:34] <Steveo> What pieces of hardware do you need to know about to know if your computer can handle Ubuntu 12.04?  My system is 9 years old
[00:34] <Floyd42> My iPhone 3G still works fine with Rhythmbox (apart from the very slow transfer rates) ..
[00:35] <RossPaterson14> Steveo, RAM and CPU
[00:35] <Steveo> Thanks RossPaterson
[00:35] <RossPaterson14> i think its something like 300MHz on a Intel P3
[00:35] <RossPaterson14> and 128Mb of RAM
[00:35] <xangua> RossPaterson14: sounds like a Lubuntu candidate
[00:36] <scar3crow> I suspect my monitor irefresh rate is configured incorrectly... how do I tell/change ?
[00:36] <foolsh> Steveo: See it you can fit a Geforce 5200 or better video card in it, they do come in pci form.
[00:36] <quintopia> are venet0:0 and venet0:1 both parts of the same interface (venet0) or do i list them separately?
[00:37] <Steveo> My motherboard is an intel 845PE ATX 533FSB DDR333 USB2
[00:37] <RossPaterson14> Xangua: I was talking about the Ubuntu minimum spec, not my PC spec :P
[00:37] <Steveo> My cpu is a P4 2.53 ghz chip
[00:37] <Floyd42> steveo: RAM?
[00:38] <xangua> !requirements | RossPaterson14
[00:38] <Steveo> Floyd42, is there a command for me to find that out?
[00:38] <codingman_> geez...my computer is getting hot!
[00:38] <Floyd42> steveo: if you're on windows, right click on "my computer"
[00:38] <xangua> Steveo: see the ubbotu factoid above
[00:39] <Steveo> I'm on a livecd of XUbuntu 9.10 sitting on top of a hard drive with a failed installation of Ubuntu 12.04 on it.   I don't have much more than a command line
[00:40] <Steveo> I'm trying to figure out if I should bother trying again with 12.04
[00:40] <Floyd42> steveo: if it's a livecd, open the system-monitor
[00:41] <Floyd42> steveo: or open terminal, and type: "free -m"
[00:41] <Steveo> Im not familiar with Xubuntu, it is old on top of that, I can't find it
[00:41] <RossPaterson14> i have had some pretty bizarre issues on my desktop installation: at least once a day the session freezes and the mouse disappears, the output goes blank and reappears, this will keep happening until i hard restart...
[00:41] <RossPaterson14> compiz issue?
[00:42] <Floyd42> steveo: i'm sure you can open the terminal, right?  open it and type: "free -m"

[00:43] <Floyd42> steveo: you have 1.5gb ram
[00:44] <Steveo> Is that enough for 12.04?
[00:44] <Floyd42> steveo: considering which, i think ubuntu 12.04 should easily run on your computer (it might not be super fast, but it should run)
[00:45] <Floyd42> brb
[00:45] <Steveo> Okay.  When I tried installing yesterday I got a message about an error installing a kernel module.  I was wondering if that was becuase my hardware is old and unsupported.
[00:45] <Steveo> Once I back up my data tomorrow I will give 12.04 one more shot
[00:45] <Steveo> Maybe with something less demanding than Unity, like Kubuntu
[00:46] <TeamRocket1233c> Hi!
[00:47] <Floyd42> steveo: Kubuntu will take as much, if not more memory than Unity. Try LXDE or XFCE.
[00:50] <xixor> yo, is there an ls++ package for ubuntu?  I've been using the google, and the package search, but haven't found anything
[00:52] <Logan_> xixor: It looks like you can just install it with the instructions on this page: https://github.com/trapd00r/ls--
[00:52] <gmachine_24> hi. I tried to install gparted in 11.04 (64bit) with CLI but received this message: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

[00:53] <rypervenche> gmachine_24: Using PPAs?
[00:53] <xixor> Logan_: ok, thanks bud
[00:53] <Logan_> xixor: No problem.
[00:54] <gmachine_24> rypervenche, I have a ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list but it is for musicbrainz
[00:55] <rypervenche> $20 says that's causing a problem. :)
[00:55] <gmachine_24> Logan_ is that sudo apt-get install -f gparted or without the gparted?
[00:55] <rypervenche> without
[00:55]  * L3top throws in 20 as well
[00:55] <Logan_> gmachine_24: Without the gparted.
[00:55] <gmachine_24> rypervenche, ok, I will try. BRB
[00:56] <`prixon> is there a way to configure nautilus to have all the buttons it had in previous editions?
[00:58] <Aliv3> y can't you make unity work
[00:58] <Aliv3> why is ubuntu a glitchy peice of work these days
[00:59] <sirriffsalot> Aliv3: what's the problem?:)
[00:59] <Aliv3> Unity is broken. 'fixed' it several times, keeps rebreaking
[00:59] <Aliv3> 12.04 looks stupid
[00:59] <rypervenche> Aliv3: Welcome to Ubuntu :)
[00:59] <Aliv3> rypervenche: ty kid
[01:00] <Aliv3> s/kid/person

[01:00] <Aliv3> i love it, just its not usable
[01:01] <resting> how do i add an entry to iptables to allow ftp at a different port?
[01:02] <gmachine_24> OK, the results are in: commenting out the ppas  changed nothing; however, I think went back to the repository list and commented out some other third-party sources and etc. and then gparted installed fine. Thank you for your assistance.
[01:03] <gmachine_24> no "I think"..... I went back to the repo list etc.
[01:04] <sirriffsalot> Aliv3: I recommend Xfce for those who prefer little trouble GUI-wise
[01:05] <sirriffsalot> Aliv3: GUI = Graphical User Interface
[01:20] <foolsh> resting: Try out 'firestarter' it's a GUI  firewall configuration. It's user friendly and a huge headache remedy concerning iptables.
[01:20] <scar3crow> if I want to see the grub menu, startup in verbose mode and have no display manager start automatically... what do I do? (please)

[01:22] <iananananan> I've observed a LOT of errors in LiveCDs with actual CDs, but none with USBs. I usually write the CDs at 24x. Is it likely that I'm getting CD errors every time solely as a result of the write speed?

[01:26] <george330> is there any way to disable drag n drop launcher activity from unity? i mean i dont want to see the launcher when i drag n drop something. it lags bad this function
[01:32] <andre> hi
[01:32] <Guest86574> hi
[01:33] <resting> gufw doesnt work :( probably becoz i'm logged in remotely..
[01:33] <resting> guess no gui programs for me..
[01:39] <Patrick327> one of the largest channels ever!
[01:42] <cocolos> why do I get -> no CUDA-capable device is detected when I run ./deviceQuery but it works when I use sudo
[01:45] <foolsh> resting: You can do X11 forwarding via ssh, being remote should never stop you. See 'Forwarding GUI Programs' on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding
[01:47] <resting> foolsh: right..will look into that later..
[01:47] <resting> for now..i wan to confirm this statement is correct:
[01:47] <resting> sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2122 -j ACCEPT
[01:47] <resting> this allows ftp connection at port 2122??
[01:48] <resting> just realised i can't set ftp as the protocol

[01:53] <resting> how do i test if its working?
[01:54]  * foolsh wonders is there is a iptables parser for resting
[01:55] <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.
[01:56] <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
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <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?
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <IntuitiveNipple> Adante: sometimes things can get out of sync if the archive is being refreshed

[02:07] <BlueClaw> Is there a good program for handling multiple desktop wallpapers on a multi-monitor system?
[02:08] <cocolos> hi
[02:08] <xangua> BlueClaw: if you use unity, compiz does
[02:08] <cocolos> what are the permissions of /dev/nvidia* supposed to be?
[02:09] <BlueClaw> xangua: compiz will not work in gnome classic?
[02:10] <Guest11135> I'll ask again... I can't get the battery icon at the top to show up. Ive tried setting it to turn on and searching for additional drivers but it still doesnt work. Someone suggestes I right click the panel and add it but when I right click nothing happens. Could someone help me?
[02:10] <xangua> BlueClaw: it does work on fallback mode, there is even an option to load it with efects in the login manager
[02:11] <xangua> Guest11135: did you set it to Always show¿
[02:11] <Guest11135> Yes.
[02:12] <cocolos> woot
[02:12] <cocolos> working!
[02:12] <xangua> Guest11135: if you do, you need to install Compiz Settings Manager and enable the Wallpaper plugin
[02:12] <foolsh> cocolos:   here is my   'ls -l /dev/nvidia0'    http://paste.ubuntu.com/972683/
[02:12] <ccc> hi

[02:13] <xangua> !ot | SarahsButt1
[02:14] <SarahsButt1> Sorry
[02:14] <mother> greetings
[02:14] <Guest11135> It says I already have it installed so Im assuming it came with the system. Though I cant find it in rush so Ill also assume its the system settings thing.
[02:14] <Guest11135> And I cant find anything to help on that.
[02:14] <mother> anyone installed Ubuntu on a Soekris net6501?
[02:15] <mother> trying to boot from USB, but keep hitting a wall on the graphics (via serial console)
[02:15] <BlueProtoman> Can anyone help me?  I'm trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 from Ubuntu 11.10.  I'm using the Update Manager, and I get this error in the Setting new software channels stage; http://pastebin.com/uzQ9Btkx
[02:15] <ccc> SarahsButt1: #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

[02:16] <BlueProtoman> Anybody?  I'm pressed for time here.
[02:17] <jonnykash> is there a way to log what is causing the following pop-up in Ubuntu Precise?: "System program problem detected" "Do you want to report the problem now?" Then when you go the reporter it tells you to look elsewhere for help because it's a final release.
[02:17] <ccc>  /join #ubuntu-tw
[02:18] <wylde> ccc: take the leading space out ...
[02:18] <jonnykash> I finally got a check box "Ignore future problems of this type" and checked it
[02:18] <ZEROMAN> HI THERE...
[02:19] <ZEROMAN> hi there....
[02:19] <wylde> BlueProtoman: if you have added any ppa's you probably need to disable them, then run 'sudo apt-get update'
[02:20] <BlueProtoman> wylde: Will try, thanks!
[02:20] <jonnykash> hi there zeroman
[02:20] <wylde> !ot | ZEROMAN
[02:22] <ZEROMAN> where ies the cchannel for kuestion bout iphone syncronization issues ???
[02:23] <psycho_oreos> ZEROMAN, maybe ##apple ?
[02:23] <BlueProtoman> wylde: Nope, doesn't help.
[02:23] <BlueProtoman> Still got the same error.
[02:23] <ZEROMAN> tnks
[02:24] <BlueProtoman> (Yes, I ran sudo apt-get update)
[02:24] <wylde> BlueProtoman: hmm...
[02:24] <BlueProtoman> Are there channels dedicated to particular Ubuntu versions?
[02:24] <opti> I've got a print server pc running ubuntu with a brother hl-2142 that was working up until recently, actually still working i suppose, but at some stage the the windows clients went from being able to print pdfs to not being able to print pdfs, however everything else works fine. Suggestions?
[02:25] <wylde> BlueProtoman: you're in the right place for all currently supported versions.
[02:25] <opti> pdfs print localy on the ubuntu machine also
[02:25] <BlueProtoman> wylde: I was just wondering if other channels existed specifically for Pangolin, Ocelot, etc.
[02:25] <c__> 0
[02:25] <BlueProtoman> If not, that's cool.
[02:25] <wylde> BlueProtoman: nope see /topic :)
[02:26] <adante> what do i run to restart the window manager?
[02:26] <BlueProtoman> I just want to get my upgrade going, because if not then I can't finish a school project!
[02:26] <adante> i clicked the top left button on unity and my screen flickered for about half an hour before dieing
[02:26] <wylde> ZEROMAN: you might find some info at http://askubuntu.com/search?q=syncronize+iphone
[02:26] <BlueProtoman> Any ideas on what might be causing my update issue?
[02:26] <adante> weird place to put a close button for window manager but yeh
[02:27] <Guest11135> I downloaded compiz configure thing. I know nothing about linex XD Now what if you even still here.
[02:27] <wylde> !ppa-purge | BlueProtoman this my possibly help.
[02:28] <wylde> BlueProtoman: beyond that 'sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update' is all I have to offer.
[02:29] <BlueProtoman> wylde: OK, but how am I supposed to know which PPAs to clean?  I've added a lot.
[02:29] <wylde> BlueProtoman: I see, that is very likely the issue then.
[02:30] <BlueProtoman> So I have to purge EVERY single one?
[02:30] <xubuntu> does anyone here know how to compile, extract and "install" tar.bz files onto your linux system?
[02:30] <wylde> BlueProtoman: ALL of them should be disabled when trying to upgrade.
[02:30] <timothy> i ss
[02:30] <BlueProtoman> wylde: I disabled them, but now I have to purge them?
[02:30] <Jordan_U> timothy: Generally, you shouldn't. What are you actually trying to install?
[02:30] <BlueProtoman> Also, is it worth upgrading to 12.04?
[02:30] <BlueProtoman> I hear of some people having issues with it, but...
[02:31] <wylde> BlueProtoman: that's a matter of opinion
[02:31] <woody_> join douglass
[02:31] <Jordan_U> BlueProtoman: Having a lot of PPAs is precisely the problem.
[02:32] <wylde> BlueProtoman: I've been using 12.04 since alpha, and since release I have had no major issues
[02:32] <BlueProtoman> Jordan_U wylde: I've disabled all of my PPAs, but I still can't upgrade.  I DID manage to upgrade TO 11.10 with all of these PPAs, though.
[02:32] <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.
[02:33] <Jordan_U> !manual | jorel
[02:33] <BlueProtoman> Jordan_U: So I have to go through and run ppa-purge on ALL of my PPAs?
[02:33] <Jordan_U> BlueProtoman: Yes.
[02:33] <BlueProtoman> There has to be a script I can use or something.
[02:33] <wylde> BlueProtoman: sudo apt-get clean MIGHT do it
[02:33] <BlueProtoman> wylde: Nope
[02:33] <jorel> @ubottu thanks for that
[02:33] <mongo> jorel: use them, and remember the man and apropos commads :)
[02:34] <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] <BlueProtoman> (Except the official software sources)
[02:36] <wylde> BlueProtoman: I don't know bash well enough for that, not sure but maybe the folks in #bash may help
[02:39] <ZEROMAN> some guideme to make a succes ipnone sync in rytmbox,gtkpod o similars ???
[02:42] <Xyles> hi
[02:42] <Xyles> I've got some questions regarding resizing of the partition. Is there anyone that can help me ? :S
[02:42] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Xyles
[02:43] <Xyles> ??
[02:44] <Sir_Fawnpug> Is there a good way to make unity a bit more lightweight?
[02:44] <Jordan_U> Xyles: Ask your actual question and if anyone can help they will.
[02:44]  * Meepsheep rustles all the jimmies
[02:44]  * Meepsheep rustles Jordan_U's jimmies
[02:45] <Jordan_U> !ot | Meepsheep
[02:45] <Xyles> Oh. Alright!
[02:45] <xangua> Sir_Fawnpug: use unity-2d
[02:45] <Meepsheep> !ops
[02:45]  * Meepsheep rustles all the jimmies
[02:45] <Sir_Fawnpug> xangua, I'll give that a try
[02:46] <Xyles> I recently decided to try ubuntu so I used the windows installer provided on the website. But initially I only gave it 20gb and now I wanted to give it more memory space. Is there any possible way to do this without reinstalling?
[02:46] <xangua> Xyles: with wubi there is not
[02:46] <Belial`> Xyles, wubi will only give you an extra 10gb over what you have.
[02:46] <Belial`> but you can't change it once you set the size.
[02:47] <xangua> also the max partition size with wubi is 30GB Xyles
[02:47] <Belial`> Xyles, if you've been using it for some time, i suggest you partition and run it along side windows.
[02:47] <ZEROMAN> does anyone knowns why its so hard sync iphone to rythmbox ??
[02:47] <Xyles> I see.
[02:48] <Xyles> I've been using it for several days. But I really like it lol.
[02:48] <Xyles> Which is why I decided to try and give it around 100gb
[02:49] <xangua> ZEROMAN: because apple doesn't like to play with others
[02:49] <nmatrix9> Hey guys!
[02:50] <Belial`> yeah, the newer versions of ios are hard to get working right in rhythmbox if at all.
[02:50] <wylde> !iphone | ZEROMAN
[02:50] <Jordan_U> Xyles: I highly recommend that you backup your files, remove the Wubi install, and install with a normal dual boot configuration.
[02:50] <Belial`> part of the reason i'm glad i switched to an android phone.
[02:50] <noobie25_> i'm having trouble finding iptables on ubuntu.  where do i go to open up ports?

[02:52] <Jordan_U> Xyles: You're welcome.

[02:52] <NoobTux> does upgrading my kernel from 2.6.32-21 generic to 2.6.37 or .38 affects my programs? my drivers?
[02:53] <kk_> 这是个什么聊天工具？
[02:53] <wylde> !cn | kk
[02:54] <wylde> NoobTux: It can yes.
[02:55] <kk_> 高科技哟，用不明白
[02:55] <wylde> !kernel | NoobTux
[02:55] <NoobTux> wylde i've seeing this update nvidia drivers after upgrading kernel but i don't have nvidia with me so what's next? escape this process?
[02:56] <wylde> NoobTux: ummm what do you mean "i don't have nvidia with me"
[02:57] <NoobTux> my vcard ain't nvidia
[02:57] <wylde> NoobTux: is it prompting you to install nvidia drivers or you just see it passing during the update?
[02:57] <nmatrix9> Hey guys any good tutorials on setting up raid 10 I have 4 drives but it's showing up under only one device /dev/sdh anyone know that is?
[02:58] <NoobTux> nope didnt upgrade yet still reading stuffs just making sure i won't stumble on the way in upgrading my kernel so i'm asking here to clarify hehe
[03:00] <alankila> nmatrix9: what raid hardware do you have, maybe it's normal
[03:00] <wylde> NoobTux: I see, you're probably safe letting it go. If you don't need nvidia it won't be used.

[03:04] <mister_m> when I run aptitude it hangs on loading cache and my cpu goes to 100%
[03:05] <mister_m> what are the relevant logs I need to look at
[03:08] <nmatrix9> alanika it is software raid
[03:09] <paul_> hi all anyone there
[03:10] <nmatrix9> Just very weird I don't have sda only sdh
[03:10] <bbuilt> paul_ yes I am
[03:11] <kk_> Bye
[03:11] <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.
[03:12] <mister_m> it apears that apt-get is unable to build package lists. it hangs at 0% and my CPU goes through the roof
[03:12] <alankila> I also would sort of expect that fakeraid or not, at least the device nodes for the drives would appear...
[03:13] <nmatrix9> ah damn you just reminded me your right,  I forgot all about that
[03:13] <mister_m> what would cause apt-get to hang at 0%? I suspect my hard drive is failing
[03:15] <ljsoftnet> hello people
[03:16] <frodo> Hi. During the net install it did not ask what root password I wanted to use? What is the root password by default?
[03:16] <alankila> frodo: no root account that can be logged in to
[03:17] <alankila> frodo: ubuntu went for sudo instead
[03:18] <frodo> What do you type if you need root access in order to install the program?
[03:18] <alankila> sudo
[03:18] <foolsh> frodo: 'sudo su' will get you to root
[03:18] <theraflu> I installed Ubuntu 12.04 but I can't get it to boot, just freezes with a disortid screen
[03:18] <rypervenche> I prefer "sudo su -"
[03:18] <theraflu> After grub
[03:19] <frodo> ty
[03:19] <jrib> !sudo | frodo
[03:19] <jrib> sudo -i instead of sudo su please
[03:20] <theraflu> !nomodeset
[03:21] <frodo> The system will only allow the first account created on the system to use sudo -su
[03:21] <iananananan> Open source drive wiper?
[03:24] <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
[03:25] <rypervenche> jrib: So it does exactly the same thing then?
[03:26] <jrib> rypervenche: it does not do the same thing afaik.  It may have the same effective result (but I also do not know this)
[03:27] <Sir_Fawnpug> What's a good WM for somebody whose not really into computers, in case she does not like Unity?
[03:27] <Sir_Fawnpug> I normally use fluxbox but I don't want to scare the pants off of her.
[03:27] <chu> KDE?
[03:27] <frodo> I like ubuntu
[03:28] <Sir_Fawnpug> KDE might be a good choice.
[03:28] <Sir_Fawnpug> Or maybe lxde?
[03:28] <chu> If the computer is capable, I'd go XFCE before LXDE.
[03:28] <chu> I'd do LXDE as last choice in this case.
[03:29] <chu> If you want *light* but a functioning desktop, go LXDE.
[03:29] <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] <frodo> How can I disable the the sdb asking for cache data failed message?
[03:29] <Sir_Fawnpug> machiolate, that probably depends on your jurisdiction.
[03:29] <itaws> how to change grub ?
[03:29] <Sir_Fawnpug> machiolate, ##law might be a better place to ask that though.
[03:30] <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
[03:32] <mikeliss> Anybody know how to dump the entire screen scrollback buffer to file?
[03:32] <mikeliss> Or how to determine the scrollback buffer length?
[03:33] <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?
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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))
[03:36] <quiescens> mikeliss: you can Ca :
[03:36] <mikeliss> quiescens: I used the -h option, I did CTRL+SHIFT+:, then hardcopy -h ~/scrollback.txt
[03:36] <mikeliss> quiescens: Ca :?
[03:36] <root> Hi all
[03:37] <quiescens> mikeliss: well, whatever brings up screen's command line entry for you
[03:37] <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.
[03:38] <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] <frodo> Will kde when installing it will it try and auto detect the type of vido card and monitor that your using?
[03:40] <navatwo> anyone know how to install 32bit build-essential on a 64bit machine
[03:45] <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.
[03:46] <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
[03:47] <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] <kandinski> hi, I think I may have broken add-apt-repositories
[03:47] <jamjam> hi all! If I plug my USB on ubuntu server, where can I locate it? nothing on /mnt
[03:47] <kandinski> I get a NameError: global name 'lp_url' is not defined
[03:48] <resting> how can i safety change the ssh port? in case i need log myself out?
[03:48] <quiescens> mikeliss: moreover, the default is actually 100 lines, so you already have something changing the setting to 1000 if that is what yours is
[03:48] <resting> *safely
[03:48] <chu> jamjam: /media ?
[03:48] <mikeliss> quiescens: Perhaps an Ubuntu thing....how did you figure out the default is 100?
[03:48] <frodo> How can I fix the error message sdb asking for cache data failed please?
[03:48] <mikeliss> quiescens: I haven't changed the default though to my knowledge.
[03:49] <quiescens> mikeliss: man page says the default is 100 as far as screen is concerned
[03:49] <jamjam> .. /media shows only cdrom
[03:49] <mikeliss> quiescens: Ah. Hadn't found that yet. Good to know.
[03:49] <frodo> me?
[03:50] <jamjam> I wonder which one it is on /dev ??
[03:50] <jamjam> noob on server BTW.. :-)
[03:50] <resting> how to assign an additional port for ssh?
[03:51] <quiescens> resting: man sshd_config, most likely edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add extra Port lines
[03:53] <resting> quiescens: thanks..shall try that
[03:54] <jamjam> when i type $ sudo fdisk -l ...my usb device was /dev/sdb1 but say's not a directory
[03:55] <frodo> No every ecounter that problem?
[03:55] <violinappren> jamjam: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[03:55] <sfears> jamjam: "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt"
[03:57] <jamjam> OH MY! thank you so much! @violinappren & @sfears, that was quick!!

[04:11] <rabbi1> azl: yeah, just copy the iso file or extract the iso file to usb stick ?
[04:11] <wylde> kandinski:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/110672/add-apt-repository-returns-unexpected-length-error
[04:11] <kandinski> oh, ta!
[04:12] <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".
[04:13] <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
[04:14] <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.
[04:15] <kasper> fstab != mtab
[04:15] <k014> nono, i want just to remove an entry in grub
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <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] <Jordan_U> rumpe1: But what?
[04:18] <rumpe1> k014, but which other configuration/file?
[04:18] <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.
[04:19] <robgraves> k014: you could install grub customizer...http://askubuntu.com/questions/100232/how-do-i-change-the-grub-boot-order
[04:19] <k014> oh yeah, but i want to learn how to do it console-way
[04:20] <k014> ok /boot/grub/custom.cfg doesn't exists
[04:20] <k014> orcustom file is a backup of grub.cfg?
[04:21] <Jordan_U> k014: You need to create it.
[04:21] <k014> ok i did; sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/custom.cfg
[04:22] <Jordan_U> k014: No.
[04:22] <k014> ok
[04:22] <rumpe1> Jordan_U, do you know how to call the manpage for custom.cfg?
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <improvshark> hi im having trouble with setting my ubuntu server to a static ip. when ever i restart i loose connectivity my ect/network/interfaces looks like http://pastebin.com/rgccrMxM is their something that im missing?
[04:25] <Jordan_U> k014: Stop for a minute and let me give more detailed directions.
[04:25] <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?
[04:26] <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] <james> Is there a command to remove all of a certain file type in a directory?
[04:26] <c_smith> improvshark, ok, I have no other experience to offer any help there.
[04:26] <k014> sound not to be a good idea, cause i want other entries, i just want to remove/hide one
[04:27] <k014> james: rm *.jpg
[04:27] <k014> will remove all jpg in that dir
[04:27] <improvshark> ok thanks c_smith
[04:27] <Jordan_U> k014: Just trust me and be patient, I know what I'm doing it's just taking a while to type :)
[04:27] <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.
[04:28] <k014> ok
[04:28] <Scroggins10> rm: cannot remove `*.jpg': No such file or directory
[04:28] <k014> i dont edit yes /etc/default/grub
[04:28] <Jordan_U> k014: OK, please pastebin your current /boot/grub/grub.cfg .
[04:28] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | k014
[04:29] <Scroggins10> Is there a command to remove all of a certain file type in a directory?
[04:29] <k014> there is any program to easyly pastebin from console?, like:
[04:29] <k014> cat file.cfg | cl2pastebin
[04:30] <Jordan_U> !pastebinit | k014
[04:31] <k014> thx
[04:31] <negimaki> anyone have a recommended WebDAV client in Ubuntu?

[04:31] <k014> thx!

[04:34] <Jordan_U> k014: OK, you want to copy just the Windows entry into your /boot/grub/custom.cfg . That meanst that your /boot/grub/grub.cfg should contain this http://paste.ubuntu.com/972838/ (which I simply copied from your grub.cfg).
[04:34] <c_smith> hmmmm, then that is strange.

[04:35] <k014> ok, and remove that entry?
[04:35] <Jordan_U> k014: * That meanst that your /boot/grub/grub.cfg should contain this http://paste.ubuntu.com/972838/ (which I simply copied from your grub.cfg).
[04:35] <k014> from grub.cfg?
[04:36] <Jordan_U> k014: Sorry, I'm tired and just posted the same typo'd comment again.
[04:36] <k014> HAHAH ok no prob
[04:36] <Guest24796> asijack
[04:36] <senola> hello
[04:37] <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] <k014> ok, copy the unwanted entry to custom, and do nothing with grub.cfg
[04:38] <k014> aaah oka
[04:38] <Guest24796> Hello everyone
[04:38] <Jordan_U> k014: Copy the *wanted* entry to /boot/grub/custom.cfg, not the unwanted one.

[04:43] <k014> result of running update-grub: http://paste.ubuntu.com/972848/
[04:43] <k014> seems like no windows entry now
[04:44] <Jordan_U> k014: OK, reboot and test that there is now only one Windows entry and that it works.
[04:44] <k014> but, this you read the result of running update.grub?
[04:44] <k014> http://paste.ubuntu.com/972848/
[04:45] <k014> seems like the wanted one is not there

[05:53] <thelegace> hi guys im wrote this program that does rtsp network streaming for video, now my question is that i can connect to the stream with vlc locally(using localhost), but if i want to connect from another ip/computer it doesn't work, i was wondering are there any firewalls or configurations that can enable access to a specific port
[05:53] <gaelfx> derpella: do you also see the flashplugin-alternative in the about:plugins page?
[05:53] <derpella> no
[05:54] <derpella> and there is no libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[05:54] <derpella> adobe-flashplugin from repos is installed
[05:54] <gaelfx> derpella: open the details on the about:plugins page and check where it thinks the libflashplayer.so is
[05:56] <derpella> gaelfx: how?
[05:56] <_Tristan1> Hello. Just upgraded to 12.04, now network manager uses very long names for my network interfaces instead of just "Wireless"
[05:56] <derpella> new? is it wicd?
[05:57] <resting> is it possible gufw shows firewall is disabled..yet there are many rules in iptables?
[05:57] <derpella> oh, now, not new, sorry
[05:58] <resting> ok..ufw shows inactive…but i still cant connect unless i flush iptables? hm..

[05:59] <tanuki> How do I go about changing my user ID? I can't use usermod if I'm logged in, and I can't sudo from a guest login...
[05:59] <gaelfx> derpella: in Chromium, there should be something at the top of the about:plugins page that says "+ Details"

[06:00] <cemc> hi. ubuntu 12.04, I would like to change the font for thunderbird/firefox/chrome/skype. how can I do that?
[06:00] <resting> is iptables n ufw 2 different things?
[06:01] <gaelfx> cemc: thunderbird/firefox/chrome - change the system font, Skype you can change in it's own options (it uses QT, so sytem font change probably will do nothing)
[06:01] <cemc> gaelfx: change the system font where?
[06:03] <derpella> gaelfx: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so <- it is there
[06:03] <gaelfx> cemc: I think you need to change it using gconf-editor, I could be wrong though
[06:03] <gaelfx> derpella: what size is the .so?
[06:04] <derpella> 17004
[06:05] <gaelfx> derpella: 17004 what?
[06:05] <_Tristan1> How can I check the version of my mesa driver?
[06:05] <derpella> bytes I think
[06:06] <_Tristan1> derpella du -sh /lefile/thingy
[06:06] <gaelfx> derpella: are you sure it's not KB?
[06:06] <derpella> 17kb
[06:06] <derpella> kB
[06:06] <derpella> 16, precisely
[06:06] <derpella> ohh
[06:06] <derpella> sorry
[06:07] <derpella> of course, about 16MB :)
[06:07] <derpella> sorry -_-'
[06:08] <gaelfx> derpella: well, I'm not 100% sure, since I'm running 64-bit, but mine is 19.2MB, maybe yours didn't download properly?
[06:09] <Ademan> soooo... to btrfs or not to btrfs?
[06:09] <derpella> gaelfx: I reinstalled, it should be right
[06:09] <derpella> b esides, it's from repo
[06:10] <derpella> and there was updare which changed noting
[06:11] <gaelfx> derpella: well, I'm stumped, sorry :/
[06:12] <pnorman> Does do-release-upgrade involve a reboot?
[06:12] <gaelfx> derpella: wait, do you mean from the partner repo or did you install the flash-plugin installer package?
[06:12] <gaelfx> pnorman: if it's installing a new kernel, most definitely
[06:14] <Auckla> I would just like to say that 12.04 I am pretty sure does nto work with my AMD Sempron 1.5ghz.
[06:14] <atari2600a> does anyone here w/ an ATI/AMD card keep getting hangs?
[06:14] <atari2600a> &/or random x session restarts
[06:14] <Auckla> Checked md5 everything is fine. Downloaded HTTP and Torrent. :*(.
[06:14] <Auckla> I don't really care 11.04 is good enough for me for thid dated hardware.
[06:15] <derpella> gaelfx: partner repo
[06:15] <gaelfx> is Gnome the window manager or is unity the window manager?
[06:15] <derpella> gaelfx: maybe I should delete his "alternative" so?
[06:15] <atari2600a> gaelfx, yes
[06:16] <gaelfx> derpella: well, probably, but I can't imagine why that would be causing the problem. Chromium knows where the right plugin is, but give it a shot!
[06:16] <gaelfx> atari2600a: care to give a non-snarky answer?
[06:16] <gnu-man> hello

[06:20] <Foxboron> Using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Gnome 2
[06:20] <StarryNight> I noticed some issues with ubuntu 12.04 gnome so i went to kde 12.04
[06:23] <faraway> h, will copying some files there was a short blackout. now there seems to something wrong with the filesystemof the disk. "error mounting: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superbolck on /dev/sdb1" but testdisk displays the content of the disk
[06:23] <faraway> while copying

[06:26] <Blue1> what is the best video driver to install for this card:  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
[06:26] <atari2600a> either I'm overvolting my CPU or I overstressed a GPU component by dropping my CMOS battery on it
[06:27] <atari2600a> Blue1, depends if you require 3D
[06:27] <atari2600a> anyways I'm gonna go...

[06:27] <Blue1> atari2600a: well I would like to be able to run google earth is about as taxing as I intend to be.
[06:29] <StarryNight> google earth works for me under linux but after doing updates for it after installation
[06:30] <Blue1> StarryNight: right but what driver is best to install?
[06:30] <StarryNight> i run nvidia driver because of ,y card

[06:38] <EpicCyndaquil> AIM isn't working with Empathy and my libpurple is updated (as far as update manager knows at least), does anyone know of a fix?
[06:40] <fidel_> ahoi
[06:42] <resting> what does this mean?  DROP       tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp spt:53 dpts:1023:65535
[06:45] <rfictus> how to disable overtype mode in gedit ??
[06:47] <chu> Does pressing the <insert> key do anything?
[06:50] <satyanash> chu, Yea... it toggles replace and insert modes..
[06:50] <satyanash> chu, shift+insert also is equivalent to ctrl+v
[06:51] <chu> I don't use gedit myself, so I have no clue, but that seemed the obvious. If that doesn't work, I don't know.
[06:53] <Ademan-remote> anyone like using empathy for IRC ?
[06:53] <EpicCyndaquil> I am right now Ademan-remote
[06:53] <Ademan-remote> EpicCyndaquil: but do you like it? :-p
[06:54] <EpicCyndaquil> It's decent. I mainly am just in here to try and get AIM working :P
[06:54] <resting> where are the rules for iptables saved in ubuntu?
[06:55] <EpicCyndaquil> does empathy have an IRC room?
[06:55] <Ademan-remote> no idea, there's ##gnome which would be an ok place to ask I guess
[06:55] <Ademan-remote> what's the issue you're having?
[06:56] <EpicCyndaquil> AIM refuses to connect at all
[06:56] <Mayazcherquoi> Yo yo yo, wassup, yippie yo, yo yo yo?
[06:56] <Ademan-remote> EpicCyndaquil: hm, no idea, since you said that I tried it out and it "works for me"
[06:57] <EpicCyndaquil> are you on a testing version of libpurple?
[06:57] <Ademan-remote> EpicCyndaquil: I don't think so, I'm on a brand-spanking-new install of ubuntu 12.04
[06:57] <EpicCyndaquil> so am I, so why am I having an issue when you aren't...
[06:58] <Ademan-remote> one sec
[06:58] <EpicCyndaquil> what server/port are you using?
[06:58] <Ademan-remote> EpicCyndaquil: slogin.oscar.aol.com 5190
[06:59] <EpicCyndaquil> as am I, strange
[07:03] <sh_t> has anyone noticed any issues with precise and the ixgbe driver/10GE cards? my fresh install "times out" and drops to a busybox shell at boot immediately after some ixgbe messages during boot
[07:06] <meiji11> I've upgraded to 12.04 and for some reason, when I log in after my machine goes to sleep, the sound on my hdmi monitor no longer appears as an option in the Sound Settings dialog.
[07:07] <meiji11> the monitor has speakers and an output jack for headphones.
[07:08] <yuri__> Yay! I finally got read-only access to my Win 7 computer through Ubuntu. Now, I used the rw switch in mount for smbfs and it still only gives me read-only. There a way to fix this? The ident I'm using to login has full-access to the entire computer, so I would thinkg rw would be a given...?
[07:10] <scottj> when running commands a and b is there an easy way to kill a when b is killed/closed? or a way to get the pid of a command (and its sub commands) after running it?
[07:10] <tBag-Tobiasz> Hi, how I can copy root confing (Desktop icon, theme, etc) to user.
[07:11] <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
[07:12] <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.
[07:13] <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. ;)
[07:14] <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. :)
[07:15] <yuri__> This method would also cut down on initial log-in time due to the fact that EVERYTHING is already there and does nto ahve to be created.
[07:16] <gbear14275> Where is sda5 mounted at in the default partitioning scheme?
[07:16] <gbear14275> Is that the .private?
[07:18] <yuri__> On my system, SDA5 is swap. In which case it is not mounted into the main filesystem. It's it's own entity. No direct access to swap drives.
[07:18] <yuri__> My suggestion is to run gparted, provided you have gnome or kde.
[07:19] <ubuntu> slt
[07:19] <yuri__> df would also work as well on the console.
[07:20] <ubuntu> hi
[07:20] <gbear14275> hmm... says /home/$USER/.private is mounted on /home/$USER...  isn't that circular?
[07:22] <yuri__> Unlike Windows, you can mount a drive or share anywhere in the filesystem. So, what look circular is not always circular.
[07:22] <Devastator> is this the right place to get support regarding win32 image writer?
[07:24] <gbear14275> yuri__, any pointers to understanding the mechanics of .encryptfs?  Would like to learn how this is working
[07:24] <yuri__> gbear1427, Just a moment. :)
[07:25] <yuri__> Alright, as for the mechanincs, I'm not very up on encrypted hard drives at the moment. Mine is and I find it semi painful at times. Lemme see if I can find technical details on it. Right now, I have a post about .encryptfs here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1903556
[07:26] <yuri__> I did find this: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~wei/EncryptFS.pdf
[07:28] <yuri__> gbeat14275, that was all I was able to find quickly for you. I can't find any specs or technical sheets, though. Sorry. :)
[07:28] <yuri__> *gbear. ;)
[07:30] <gbear14275> yuri__, Thank you very much.  I imagine I have some reading to do but I appreciate the leads to start with.
[07:30] <yuri__> gbear14275, no problem. :) You are most welcome. :)
[07:31] <gbear14275> What lead me to this was finding that my whole partition seems to be in one place except for an 8.5GB extended partition with no apparent mount point.  I'm guessing this is my homedir so am trying to confirm
[07:32] <blackshirt> gbear14275: what you mean ?
[07:33] <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
[07:34] <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?
[07:35] <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
[07:36] <gbear14275> blackshirt, yup your right... swap space... as a logical partition though?  weird...
[07:36] <gbear14275> I guess it doesn't matter though
[07:37] <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
[07:38] <gbear14275> _ferret_, are you asking if windows can do it?
[07:38] <yuri__> I was just about to ask that. ;)
[07:39] <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?
[07:40] <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. :)
[07:41] <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 :)
[07:42] <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
[07:43] <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
[07:44] <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.
[07:45] <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
[07:46] <loginix> gbear14275: Thanks.. i knew i should have messed with 2.8 lol
[07:46] <gbear14275> loginix, might work in 12.04?
[07:47] <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
[07:48] <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
[07:49] <loginix> ok nice
[07:50] <greenmang0> the default value for "umask" is changed to "0002" on my system , isn't it more open?
[07:51] <greenmang0> freshly installed 12.04
[07:51] <zam> hi everyone
[07:51] <yuri__> greenamng0, my umask is the same.
[07:53] <nimesh_accenture> HI, my laptop is having wireless card but i am unable to see wlan0 in ubuntu
[07:53] <nimesh_accenture> please suggest
[07:54] <andrija> why cant ubuntu recognize my internal mic?
[07:56] <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?
[07:57] <yuri__> Nimesh, is you wireless card listed in ispci?
[07:58] <drake01> nimesh_accenture: does `rfkill list all` command shows the cards blocked, try command `rfkill unblock all`..
[07:59] <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.
[08:00] <yuri__> andrija, try this link and lemme know if it helped: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6993/internal-microphone-not-working
[08:01] <deeprogram> Are there Chinese here ?
[08:02] <GNU_Linux_New> i want to use a firewall which is automatic like the one's available for windows and also fedora..
[08:02] <bazhang> !cn | deeprogram
[08:02] <firc> hi people
[08:02] <firc> where can I see the dbus-daemon logs?
[08:03] <bazhang> !ufw | GNU_Linux_New
[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. :)
[08:04] <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. :)
[08:05] <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
[08:06] <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/*
[08:07] <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] <firc> yuri__: aah!
[08:07] <firc> yuri__: thanks :)
 device is not recognised
[08:08] <yuri__> firc, You are most welcome. :)
[08:08] <qkit> !jp | qkit
[08:08] <qkit> hehe
[08:09] <qkit> wah
[08:09] <GNU_Linux_New> bazhang: and theres hardly any initial configuration needed... if u have any simple way of setting up a good and secure firewall plz tell :)
[08:09] <qkit> this is damm cool , i dont know irc bot can do this
[08:09] <bazhang> GNU_Linux_New, use gufw if you need a gui
[08:09] <qkit> !malay | qkit
[08:09] <bazhang> qkit, /msg ubottu
[08:09] <qkit> lol
[08:09] <qkit> .sg ubotu
[08:09] <bazhang> qkit, stop that
[08:10] <yuri__> qkit /help will give you all the irc commands and /help <command> gives more info on the individual commands. :)
[08:10] <qkit> oops...sorry
[08:13] <GNU_Linux_New> bazhang: how do i configure gufw
[08:13] <wylde> !ufw | GNU_Linux_New
[08:14] <wylde> GNU_Linux_New: there's info at the page the bot linked.
[08:14] <wylde> pages*
[08:15] <yuri__> Well, I'm off. It's 0200 hours here. Need sleep. Night all. And good luck with Ubuntu. :)
[08:16] <deeprogram> hey ? what command that can install dependencies package when installing  ?
[08:16] <GNU_Linux_New> wylde: thnx
[08:17] <deeprogram> I got : /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[08:17] <foobArrr> apropos firewall: is there a way to block (outgoing) internet access on a per-program basis? I googled and read a bit about iptables some time ago, but I only found info about port-based blocking, iirc.
[08:17] <deeprogram> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:17] <deeprogram> error !
[08:17] <wylde> deeprogram: sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>
[08:17] <GNU_Linux_New> bazhang: i have gufw, but how to configure in gui, there is hardly any option there..
[08:17] <wylde> deeprogram: provided you got your source from the repos
[08:18] <wylde> deeprogram: another useful tool for that is apt-file
[08:18] <solarbaby> I just finished a sucessful install of Ubuntu 12.04 for Mac and upon rebooting it can't find my boot disk.. will I have to edit grub by hand?
[08:18] <wylde> !info apt-file
[08:18] <MonkeyDust> GNU_Linux_New  in gufw: Edit - Add rule
[08:19] <MonkeyDust> !mac| solarbaby
[08:19] <solarbaby> Thanks ubottu
[08:19] <deeprogram> wylde: what's your mean by " provided you got your source from the repos"
[08:20] <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] <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
[08:21] <deeprogram> wylde: so you mean the problem maybe from third source ?
[08:21] <L3top> typically is.
[08:22] <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 :)
[08:23] <MonkeyDust> GNU_Linux_New  i've not used windows for ages
[08:23] <solarbaby> ubottu: if im reading that page right its telling me that I'm only officially supported on Ubuntu 10.10
[08:24] <wylde> solarbaby: no, 10.10 is eol
[08:24] <solarbaby> ubottu: you are a very smart likable bot
[08:24] <MonkeyDust> GNU_Linux_New  what you do or don't want to allow, depends on how you use your pc
[08:24] <solarbaby> wylde: that bot sent me on a wild goose chase
[08:24] <rymate1234> I like having control over my firewall
[08:25] <wylde> solarbaby: lol, 10.10 was EOL the first or second? week of April :)
[08:25] <solarbaby> wylde: any humans i can talk to that know whats going on with the mac ubuntu stuff?
[08:26] <wylde> solarbaby: not I, I'd be of no use to you on that subject.
[08:26] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: I'm a human but you haven't responded to my questions.
[08:26] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: I am sorry..  i certainly missed it.. looking back now
[08:27] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: No problem :)
[08:27] <ruman1> hi every one
[08:27] <GNU_Linux_New> FIREWALL
[08:29] <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
[08:30] <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
[08:31] <ruman1> MonkeyDust, after reparing can i use both OS
[08:32] <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
[08:33] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: It's not.
[08:34] <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
[08:37] <MonkeyDust> solarbaby  i use irssi too, type /set and use page up and down to read the different options, hilight is on of them
[08:38] <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
[08:39] <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.
[08:40] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: I think I can manage that
[08:40] <_ferret_> my windows drive, what is it called in Ubuntu?
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <wylde> solarbaby: +1 for backing up!
[08:43] <solarbaby> Yay!
[08:43] <linuxtech> ferret could run lshw and look for it under disk.
[08:44] <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
[08:45] <gaelfx> NFS is taking a long time to load file lists, any idea how I can find the problem?
[08:46] <Carpe|Diem> I need to lock down an ubuntu desktop. I'm still free to choose the DE but it should be lightweight. What whall I pick. Is it possible to lockdown XFCE4 in an easy way?
[08:48] <linuxtech> Carpe|Diem: lock it down in what way?  Unless you opened up services or installed flash or java you should be ok with the default.  And lubuntu is the light weight desktop.
[08:49] <Carpe|Diem> linuxtech: I need a desktop enviroment with basicaly a browser button and a shutdown button. And thats it. Users should be able to do nothing
[08:50] <MonkeyDust> Carpe|Diem  is it for a public pc, like in a library?
[08:50] <Carpe|Diem> MonkeyDust: Something like that, yes
[08:51] <linuxtech> I am logged into a friends machine remotely, she forgot to mount the drive with dolphin...  It would have mounted it /media/200, can I do that with some command line thing that will aotomount in the correct spot without having to do a mkdir ... ; mount dev dir?
[08:51] <Carpe|Diem> linuxtech: fstab?
[08:53] <linuxtech> It isn't fstab, it is a USB device.
[08:53] <Carpe|Diem> linuxtech: oh ok
[08:53] <MonkeyDust> linuxtech  i mount an external usb disk in fstab too
[08:53] <Boreeas> Is there something like an application-specific firewall filter? I.e. I want to say "This application can send data, that one can not, this one can receive but not send, ..."
[08:54] <Carpe|Diem> Boreeas: http://www.fs-security.com/
[08:55] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: will do..  Thank You
[08:55] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: You're welcome.
[08:55] <Boreeas> Carpe|Diem: Awesome, thanks
[08:56] <solarbaby> I'm more then half tempted to remove all osx off the computer.. not sure i'm there yet though
[08:56] <resting> if i configure filezilla to connect with sftp, does the settings in vsftpd.conf still matters?
[08:56] <Karou> can somebody help me out?
[08:56] <resting> apprently i can connect without starting the service
[08:58] <linuxtech> pmount /dev/sdb1 200 ; that does what I want!
[08:58] <MonkeyDust> Karou  start with a question
[09:02] <geekwani> which is the best way to install java6 on ubuntu 12.04 : 1>Download .bin file from oracle and install || 2>install using ppa method from some source..?
[09:03] <MonkeyDust> geekwani  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[09:03] <Cebor> geekwani, i think the best way is, to install openjdk-6-jre via apt
[09:04] <geekwani> but i want oracle-jdk6 not openjdk6... i was wondering if some1 could share their experience
[09:05] <geekwani> i'm aware of community help
[09:05] <jpds> geekwani: You can only do with option number 1.
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> geekwani  have you opened the linked I posted?
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> link*
[09:05] <geekwani> yes
[09:05] <geekwani> i read it
[09:06] <geekwani> apt has removed support for oracle-java becoz of some licensing issues
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> yes
[09:07] <jpds> geekwani: Not just apt, everyone.
[09:07] <Qasaur> Hey guys
[09:07] <Qasaur> I have a problem
[09:07] <Qasaur> apt-get nor the software center will work for me
[09:07] <geekwani> ok
[09:07] <Qasaur> It works are home
[09:07] <Qasaur> but at school it doesn't
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> oracle no longer supports linux
[09:07] <Qasaur> what do I do?
[09:07] <linuxtech> Carpe|Diem: Maybe this will help https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uZBtQwJ2gLi89g0jWXQWcSC0NnK29WuXPMg1cfuXsRA/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1
[09:07] <geekwani> ok
[09:08] <Qasaur> anyone? :|
[09:08] <wylde> Qasaur: details please? Like what error do you get?
[09:08] <Qasaur> I doesn't give any error
[09:08] <Qasaur> For example
[09:08] <Qasaur> I want to install wine
[09:08] <wylde> !enter | Qasaur
[09:08] <Qasaur> so I'll open the terminal and I'll tell you the output
[09:08] <Qasaur> one sec
[09:08] <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
[09:09] <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%
[09:10] <geekwani> thank u MonkeyDust n rest
[09:10] <Qasaur> it doesn't download
[09:10] <Qasaur> at all
[09:10] <Qasaur> it works flawlessly at home but not at school
[09:10] <wylde> !enter | Qasaur
[09:10] <MonkeyDust> Qasaur  keep your question in one line please
[09:10] <Qasaur> Oh I'm sorry, didn't notice.
[09:10] <Qasaur> so anywat
[09:11] <kerloi> wylde: it says 'no new version found' ...
[09:11] <wylde> kerloi: using the -d flag?
[09:11] <pungi-man> change ur settings!
[09:11] <Qasaur> So anyone have an idea on what do do? Like I said earlier, it works at home but not at school
[09:11] <kerloi> wylde: yes
[09:12] <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 :)
[09:13] <linuxtech> Backup for my friend not going well...  No space left on device
[09:13] <wylde> kerloi: best I can suggest is have a look for something on kubuntu's website. Sorry, not much help I know. :(
[09:13] <Qasaur> wylde: Exactly what kind of details do you need?
[09:14] <kerloi> wylde: nop thx anyway
[09:14] <wylde> Qasaur: what are the exact errors from apt-get would help
[09:14] <Qasaur> There are no errors wylde
[09:15] <Qasaur> It doesn't download at all, it's stuck on 0% on the package
[09:15] <wylde> Qasaur: apt-get doesn't give any output when it won't connect?
[09:15] <Qasaur> Apparently it does connect somehow but it doesn't download
[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.
[09:16] <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] <Qasaur> I updated at home and apparently when I update here it doesn't work
[09:16] <Qasaur> No errors what so ever
[09:17] <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
[09:18] <wylde> Qasaur: ok, that'll help
[09:18] <mafiaboy> hi guys.....
[09:18] <mafiaboy> can u help me how to resume videos in youtube-dl or any other alternative
[09:19] <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*
[09:20] <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.
[09:21] <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?
[09:22] <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)
[09:23] <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
[09:24] <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> I usually append rescue at the end of the second line in the older grubs.
[09:24] <VivekVC> wylde: Which line in the grub should I edit ?
[09:24] <wylde> Halabund: moment
[09:24] <Qasaur> wylde: It stays on 0% all the time
[09:25] <jellytot> anyone know?
[09:25] <wylde> !boot | Halabund
[09:25] <Blarrffll> jellytot : fdisk -l should work
[09:25] <VivekVC> wylde: btw, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 inside a Virtual Box
[09:26] <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
[09:27] <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] <VivekVC> ok.
[09:28] <Blarrffll> jellytot : that's right
[09:29] <wylde> VivekVC:
[09:29] <wylde> VivekVC: http://pastebin.com/FEAJ3yjD
[09:29] <VivekVC> wylde: Thanks
[09:30] <wylde> Qasaur: you're probably right, I hinestly don't know offhand how you might work around that
[09:30] <wylde> honestly*
[09:31] <VivekVC> wylde: Which file should I edit with the above options ?
[09:31] <Qasaur> wylde: Which port does apt-get use?
[09:31] <wylde> VivekVC: /etc/default/grub and run 'update-grub' afterwards before rebooting.
[09:31] <VivekVC> wylde: I am not able to boot into the machine itself.
[09:31] <wylde> Qasaur: I honestly don't know.
[09:32] <wylde> VivekVC: it's in a VM right?
[09:32] <VivekVC> Yes.
[09:32] <VivekVC> Virtual Box.
[09:32] <brian__> hi all ubuntu geeks
[09:32] <inc0> hi, I just did dist-upgrade from 12 to 12.04 and my performance dropped terribly...anyone knows any issues with that?
[09:33] <MonkeyDust> inc0  from 11.10 to 12.04 you mean
[09:33] <inc0> well last to newest
[09:33] <VivekVC> inc0: What performance drop, is this a desktop or server version ?
[09:33] <brian__> im new into this.. how do you get the latest install og gimp by using this string?  apt-get install gimp
[09:33] <dr_willis> last lts. last release.. last beta..
[09:34] <brian__> Im on a ubuntu 12.04
[09:34] <inc0> desktop, and basicly everything is muddy
[09:34] <dr_willis> brian__:  that installs the gimp from the repos
[09:34] <dr_willis> !info gimp
[09:34] <inc0> even dash
[09:34] <wylde> brian__: open your terminal (you can do that with ctrl+alt+t) and enter 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp'
[09:35] <dr_willis> gimp in 12.04 is versiin 2•6 it seems
[09:35] <brian__> yes.. but the new gimp are 2.8 ond its for download on there
[09:35] <dr_willis> brian__:  use a ppa perhaps
[09:35] <brian__> wylde: thanks i'll try that
[09:35] <dr_willis> !ppa
[09:35] <wylde> brian__: to get the latest you have to use their ppa
[09:35] <inc0> top shows that there should be much resources free...
[09:36] <brian__> wilde: pps ?
[09:36] <brian__> ppa
[09:36] <wylde> brian__: 3rd party ppas aren't supported here though. Just so you know :)
[09:36] <wylde> !ppa | brian__
[09:37] <brian__> Thanks... wylde :-)
[09:37] <wylde> brian__: np :)
[09:39] <brian__> It seems that the string to get the new gimp is not working, i get the 2.6.12 and not the 2.8
[09:39] <gurifisu> error while loading shared libraries: libfade2d.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | BUT ITS CLEARLY LOCATED IN /usr/local/lib WTF
[09:39] <brian__> I grap the gimp people for that quiestion..
[09:39] <wylde> brian__: yeah, that's because that's the newest version in the ubuntu repos
[09:40] <alankila> gurifisu: it may be missing some dependencies of its own
[09:40] <alankila> the error is misleading
[09:40] <alankila> use ldd against the program you try to run to find out
[09:40] <brian__> wylde: okay.. so i can just wait then..
[09:41] <dr_willis> brian__:  enable the ppa if you want newer
[09:41] <wylde> brian__: if you REALLY need it, you can always grab the source and compile. hehe
[09:41] <dr_willis> or wait till the next 6 mo release
[09:41] <gurifisu> alankila, i forgot ldconfig lol
[09:41] <wylde> I'm on gimp.org, I don't see a ppa listed as yet.
[09:42] <Blarrffll> Qasaur : I'm pretty sure apt uses http
[09:42] <brian__> wylde: I was just currius ;-)
[09:42] <wylde> :)
[09:42] <dr_willis> thwy may not have an official ppa
[09:43] <Blarrffll> Qasaur : I'd try to open http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ from a web browser from the location that apt isn't working
[09:43] <bencc> when installing a package, does dpkg restart dependent services?
[09:43] <wylde> Qasaur: I believe Blarrffll is right.
[09:43] <bencc> for example, does installing apache2-mpm-prefork force restart of the apache2 service?
[09:43] <brian__> dr_willis: i just think i wait to its official .-)
[09:43] <dr_willis> brian__:  that will be in 6 mo then
[09:43] <wylde> bencc: it should, but you should never count on it.
[09:44] <Shanth> i had done dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 and win7 and  used grub as loader , now i had formatted win7 partition , but still i'm having the win7 option in grub loader , AnYOne plz guide me to remove that option.. ;)
[09:44] <bencc> wylde: ok
[09:45] <Jordan_U> Shanth: sudo update-grub
[09:45] <Shanth> let me try that , thanx
[09:49] <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.
[09:50] <brian__> ppa.. are that the same as the ubuntu softwarecenter?
[09:50] <lgp171188> When I tried to install proprietary drivers from jockey (post-release updates one) it failed with following errors in jockey.log file - http://pastebin.com/B3LiUcMq. The system booted into Unity 2D. I am concerned about how this hybrid GPU might cause heating and lesser battery life due to unconfigured GPU
[09:50] <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] <lgp171188> Any inputs that could help me on this?
[09:53] <Shanth> i need to remove win7 loader any help ?
[09:53] <alankila> Shanth: you need to perform grub-setup or grub-install against the disk, forget which one
[09:54] <dr_willis> check sudo fdisk -l   output
[09:54] <alankila> it will overwrite the boot sector
[09:54] <alankila> update-grub just regenerates the grub config
[09:55] <joefreemuller> How can I open up my wubi partition in Windows? I've tried to open the root.disk with explore2fs, but it doesn't work
[09:56] <MonkeyDust> joefreemuller  wubi creates a file, not a partition, iirc
[09:56] <joefreemuller> Yes, root.disk and swap.disk
[09:56] <joefreemuller> How do I open it and browse it in Windows?
[09:56] <Shanth> i already have grub installed in another partition , but the option to remove win7 loader...
[09:57] <eric> anyone here?
[09:57] <joefreemuller> Anyone?
[09:58] <Guest50345> anyone using pinguy os?  got a real simple question

[10:00] <joefreemuller> How can I open up my wubi partition in Windows? I've tried to open the root.disk with explore2fs, but it doesn't work
[10:03] <wylde> w3bg33k: what's the tag and are you sure it's from the apache configuration?

[10:05] <Adzz> Hi, im having problems running minecraft on Ubuntu 12.04, can anyone give me a hand?
[10:06] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys, do you know any software to convert a video file of webm format to avi? :S
[10:07] <dr_willis> kaushal:  try geany
[10:07] <kaushal> ok
[10:07] <dr_willis> Mayazcherquoi:  winff, ffmpeg, mencoder, avidemus, arista  and avi is a ccontainer.. what codec do you need to convert to..
[10:08] <Adzz> Hey, can someone please help me get minecraft working? ive been working on it for weeks now and still no luck :S
[10:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Something that can natively play on Windows.
[10:08] <oldwzd> lgp171188: think your dead in the water atm, as amd drivers dont work with multi card setup. if you can disable the intel gfx part of the cpu in bios it "may" be possible to get the drivers to work.
[10:08] <dr_willis> Mayazcherquoi:  natively means?
[10:08] <gunouille> Mayazcherquoi, windows can play webm videos
[10:08] <Mayazcherquoi> dr_willis: As in, one does not need to install any additional software, codec or codec packs in order to play it.
[10:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Can it
[10:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Okay, sweet
[10:09] <vincenzoml> Hi all, I am trying to learn how to program osgi bundles from scratch. I installed felix-main under ubuntu, and java-wrappers too
[10:09] <dr_willis> Adzz:  id say check the askubuntu.com site  and the forums for some guides.
[10:09] <vincenzoml> but when I run felix-framework I get the error message "Could not create framework: java.lang.Exception: Could not find framework factory"
[10:09] <lgp171188> oldwzd: I was fearing the same. :(
[10:09] <MonkeyDust> vincenzoml  is that a ubuntu thing?
[10:09] <dr_willis> who runs windows withouit installing extra codecs. :) wmp can even auto download them i thought.. bt i perfer vlc.
[10:09] <vincenzoml> MonkeyDust: absolutely
[10:09] <Adzz> dr_willis: I have but im having no luck, ive followed all the tutorials
[10:10] <gunouille> Mayazcherquoi, there is a video converter using ALL opensource codex on windows. and it's free and easy to use
[10:10] <oldwzd> lgp171188: mail amd support and ask them to fix it xD
[10:10] <Adzz> oldwzd: can you read private chat pl0x
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> vincenzoml  just read it's a java thing, better as in #java
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> ask*
[10:11] <vincenzoml> MonkeyDust: the problem seems to be in the ubuntu package - that's what I'm trying to understand
[10:11] <wylde> vincenzoml: looks like a dependency problem to me.
[10:12] <vincenzoml> wylde: do you have an idea of what could be missing?
[10:12] <wylde> vincenzoml: uhhh Could not find framework factory maybe? :)
[10:13] <lgp171188> oldwzd: Turning off one GPU isn't an option because the laptop is a dual boot setup and I don't want the overheating problem and poor battery backup on Windows by disabling the intel card.
[10:14] <lgp171188> oldwzd: There are some writeups on how to get the setup working, maybe I will try them one by one and then after hitting the dead-end or succeeding, decide what to do

[10:15] <Peanut> Hi folks - it seems that bug #530323, which was closed in august 2011, is now affecting 12.04 again. Should I re-open that bug, or file a new bug?
[10:15] <vincenzoml> wylde: how did you find out anyway?

[10:20] <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?
[10:21] <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
[10:22] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  that's /etc/exports
[10:22] <luckymurali> im using ubuntu 10.04, when i
[10:22] <luckymurali> sudo svnserve -d -r /var/svn/abiba/
[10:22] <luckymurali> svnserve: Can't bind server socket: Address already in use . I really dont know what is the application in that address
[10:23] <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] <rebourn> how do I find out what bootloader im using?

[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] <u1_> cause the other encrypted folder is already mounted for gerhard...
[10:24] <u1_> su - user1
[10:24] <u1_> mounted for user1

[10:24] <d0gmaz> anyone got a clue for this problem: when i startup my computer i first have to start recovery mode than drop in root console type reboot and then load the generic kernel from grub otherwise my monitor stays black after grub...
[10:24] <bricktea> so
[10:25] <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?
[10:26] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: yeah
[10:27] <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.
[10:28] <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. :)
[10:29] <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
[10:30] <Adzz> jondot: im having problems installing it aswell :P
[10:30] <jondot> Adzz, im thinking of doing this http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[10:31] <gaelfx> wylde: I didn't save them and can't remember :/

[10:32] <billybigr> why install jre 7? it's not released to public yet, only devs...

[10:32] <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
[10:33] <wylde> gaelfx: that works for my nfs mount
[10:34] <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
[10:35] <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 :)
[10:39] <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. :(
[10:40] <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
[10:41] <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?
[10:42] <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
[10:43] <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! >.<
[10:44] <gaelfx> wylde: gotcha
[10:44] <Adzz> jondot, i can officialy say THAT I LOVE YOU <3, its finally working and, i think so, i think there is a free account system if you look on there site, its a must have game imho :)
[10:44] <jondot> Adzz, thanks but i didn't write the instructions, just googled it. have fun!
[10:45] <Adzz> jondot, i know but you lead me there, so thanks !
[10:45] <jondot> sure

[10:47] <jondot> will do!
[10:48] <elspuddy> hi, each time i run the command byobu on my ubuntu server it keeps drawing the stats bit and makes the page go up, how do i fix this ?
[10:56] <blendedbychris> any idea how to fix "reboot" not actually booting, instead it just shuts the system down
[10:59] <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
[11:01] <fidel_> geeko: maybe ask in #docky too
[11:02] <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
[11:03] <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
[11:04] <Dr_willis> what feature?
[11:05] <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.
[11:06] <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)
[11:07] <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] <geeko> actually .....he (my father) can't see the dots on the active app.................
[11:07] <fidel_> ericP: 2.15

[11:16] <Dr_willis> Ubuntu is a disrto.. :) so its redundant
[11:17] <Shanth> how to start gdm automatically
[11:18] <Dr_willis> Shanth,  when its isntalled it should ask what xdm to use.. or use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' to select it
[11:19] <Shanth> no, i'm alwactually i need to startx automaticlly how to do it ..
[11:20] <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?
[11:21] <auronandace> !text | Shanth
[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.
[11:22] <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
[11:23] <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?
[11:24] <Shanth> yes
[11:24] <Shanth> desktop
[11:24] <Dr_willis> was lightdm working?
[11:25] <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
[11:27] <Dr_willis> could try a 'sudo service gdm start' and look for any errors I guess
[11:28] <Shanth> service gdm start no error found the process is running correctly
[11:29] <Dr_willis> try 'restart' perhaps? that may kill off X. :)

[11:33] <alexx__> thanks
[11:34] <Dr_willis> try the text/nomodeset options drdozer1  to see if any mesages are on the screen?

[11:35] <lapion> is there any way to start an upgrade by first downloading all the files needed to upgrade ?
[11:35] <szal> another listalian.. ;)
[11:35] <drdozer1> Dr_willis: i7 desktop
[11:35] <Dr_willis> lapion,  i belie you can do a upgrade by mounting the  alternative installer cd iso file.
[11:36] <drdozer1> it is not booting - it's not attached to the network, nothing written to /var/logs, ...
[11:36] <Dr_willis> drdozer1,  can you ssh into the box after its running?
[11:36] <drdozer1> Dr_willis: no, I can't even ping it
[11:36] <Dr_willis> Hmm. that does sound like a nasty crash
[11:37] <VictorCL> to set a cronjob do how is it :   wget URL  >/dev/null 2>&1   or /dev/null 2>&1
[11:37] <drdozer1> yeah - I can boot from a stick, and have chrooted and updated and refreshed all packages
[11:38] <Dr_willis> what video chipset drdozer1 ?
[11:38] <blaa> Somebody can help me? I did a apt-get upgrade and my apache virtualhosts are not working anymore
[11:38] <blaa> somebody knows what is broken? is this a ubuntu bug?
[11:39] <Dr_willis> blaa,  you could check the bug reports and see of others have simile rissues
[11:39] <drdozer1> geforece 980
[11:39] <szal> drdozer1: doesn't exist, afaik
[11:39] <Hariezg> how to chek my ubuntu version?

[11:40] <MonkeyDust> Hariezg  in a terminal, type lsb_release -sd

[11:40] <Hariezg> @MonkeyDust ok thanks i'm will try it
[11:41] <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)
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <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
[11:46] <lapion> MonkeyDust, I meant: do-release-upgrade -s, --sandbox         Test upgrade with a sandbox aufs overlay
[11:47] <Hariezg> @Dr_willis how long do I need to do that?
[11:47] <Denual000531> [11:47] <Denual000531> Please, help me, I have a router, wan - 10.10.10.121/24, lan - 192.168.1.1/24

[11:47] <FloodBot1> Denual000531: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:47] <Dr_willis> Hariezg,  what?
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> lapion  i did do-release-upgrade without additional option, but i know -d is the most frequently used (develop)
[11:48] <Hariezg> @Dr_willis how long for upgrade my xubuntu to 12.04?
[11:48] <Denual000531> http://paste.ubuntu.com/973361/
[11:48] <Benxyzzy> My network connections says I'm using DNS server 192.168.0.103 - however, /etc/resolv.conf says nameserver 127.0.0.1, search cable.myisp.com . Which is correct?
[11:48] <LgL> i want to make and live usb stick using the dd command. how to i write it?
[11:49] <Dr_willis> Hariezg,  how long will it take to download and install? No idea. totally depends on your connection. Its downloading several 100mb.
[11:49] <LgL> dd if=/dev/sda1/media/image.image of=/dev/sdb
[11:49] <LgL> ?
[11:49] <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
[11:50] <Dr_willis> LgL,  if its the proper image file. that can work for 11.10 and 12.04
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> lapion  try -d (i havent tried it myself)
[11:51] <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] <fidel_> Hariezg: so dont start if you are in a hurry
[11:51] <Dr_willis> make SURE you got the right sdb :)
[11:52] <Hariezg> @Dr_willis ok... thanks.
[11:52] <lapion> MonkeyDust, -d means you upgrade to a developer version, which means you would upgrade to "shiver" 12.10
[11:53] <Hariezg> @fidel_ thanks for your answer and i will upgrade my xubuntu in midnight. hehehe .... Can I ask you?

[11:56] <MonkeyDust> lapion  guess your right, -d was used when upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04
[11:56] <rebourn> does it look ok to you?
[11:57] <IdleOne> rebourn: try #gentoo or #grub
[11:57] <rebourn> Idle0ne: Tried gentoo, but since it is a bootloader from ubuntu it differs from theirs

[12:00] <trond-> hi room. When I install a program in 12.04 it does not come up with the correct icon until I reboot /logout/in.. It's running in vbox since I am currently just testing the new LTS (I am running 10.04 LTS now). Also: Is there a way that the icons in the launcher can be automagically resized if there are ... way to many programs in the launcher? Can I have launchers on the tesktop?
[12:00] <beeju> ryannathans, enter this command in terminal sudo apt-get install -f
[12:00] <auronandace> vlt: rythymbox
[12:01] <rebourn> Dr_willis I cant boot gentoo

[12:01] <vlt> auronandace: Thanks.
[12:01] <ryannathans> beeju: didn't help
[12:01] <Dr_willis> rebourn,  you could make a custom entry for your gentoo system  using grub2 and put the 'stanza' in the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file (i think thats the right name)
[12:01] <ryannathans> auronandace: http://pastebin.com/M45Ur4Hp
[12:02] <beeju> ryannathans, then "sudo apt-get update"
[12:02] <Dr_willis> Pimo,  hold shift key i belive - to unhide grub.
[12:02] <ktwo> my GuI is sometimes not very responsive (VM, Ubuntu12 @ Gnome Classic ) , what can i install to have a faster one, however i do _NOT_ want to replace the bluetooth manager with the default of xubuntu
[12:02] <ktwo> i just want a nother UI , but keeping the same Network manager plugin and bluetooth plugin
[12:02] <Pimo> Dr_willis, i'll try :)
[12:02] <Dr_willis> Pimo,  at bootup. :) hld down shift. i always turn off the hide grub feature
[12:02] <ryannathans> beeju: didn't help, same error
[12:02] <LgL> sudo dd if=/dev/sda4/home/truemove/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb
[12:02] <LgL> that does not work
[12:03] <Dr_willis> LgL,  your if= is totally wrong.
[12:03] <LgL> dd: opening `/dev/sda4/home/truemove/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso': Not a directory

[12:04] <Dr_willis> ls /path/to/the/file   to check.. :)

[12:35] <geekwani> 32-bit vs 64-bit ubuntu -> which one would be better from software support point of view ?
[12:36] <OerHeks> geekwani, ubuntu 12.04 is multi arch, so you can run 32 bit programs easy on 64 bit.
[12:37] <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)
[12:38] <agronholm> that applies to pretty much any OS
[12:38] <geekwani> ok.. thx

[12:49] <drdozer1> I still have this problem booting - is there a better channel to ask in?
[12:49] <Bumble-Bee> dunno
[12:50] <Bumble-Bee> my issue was it was fine yesterday and today its broken
[12:51] <Bumble-Bee> drdozer1 you have the same issue ?
[12:52] <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?
[12:53] <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] <majd> i need to maintain ssh access, but also need to set up the ssl certificate
[12:53] <majd> what do you recommend that i do in this situation?
[12:53] <drdozer1> Bumble-Bee: yes - they hang in the same place
[12:53] <drdozer1> after grub, before anything is written to any logs
[12:53] <Rienzilla> majd: bind it on another IP address
[12:53] <Bumble-Bee> fidel_ no error output and dunno about lightdm
[12:53] <Rienzilla> or ssh to another box on port 443 and from there to the server on port 22
[12:54] <Bumble-Bee> but startx ends up at a blank screen
[12:54] <Bumble-Bee> lilstevie ?
[12:54] <lilstevie> yes

I don't want to install apache, as I am already running lighttpd with php. Is there any way I can make it ignore the dependency and be happy?
[13:18] <ktwo> you could try if minecraft runs on archlinux ARM though, and a faster platform like trimslice or pandaboard
[13:18] <ikonia> Rigorm0rtis: not really
[13:18] <ikonia> Rigorm0rtis: the package will be hooked into apache's document root (for example) the best thing to do is install apache and just disable it

I was looking at building the smallest PC i can for music, web, and minecraft - running ubuntu 12.04 ofc. Any ideas on any small cases on the market/products?
[13:19] <ikonia> Rigorm0rtis: you'll also need to look where it puts the actual web application files in reference to your lighttpd document root
[13:19] <ktwo> scott_ubu, go for x86-atom then if you cant live without ubuntu
[13:20] <ktwo> micro-itx is the form-factor
[13:20] <scott_ubu> Aye, had a look at some of the mini itx boards but seem a bit pricey.
[13:21] <ktwo> scott_ubu, yea well what is pricey? you can get some for 80 bucks i guess
[13:21] <Rigorm0rtis> Hmm, thanks ikonia. I guess disabling apache is the way to go.
[13:21] <ktwo> and even better with nvidia ION for 100
[13:21] <scott_ubu> UK ~£100 so around $125
[13:21] <bricktea> !nounity
[13:22] <bricktea> !no-unity
[13:22] <ktwo> scott_ubu, seems expensive, did you check amazon.co.uk?
[13:22] <bricktea> !unity
[13:22] <scott_ubu> Not for comp parts. Seems hit 'n' miss on amazon for parts but I'll have a look
[13:22] <bricktea> !notunity
[13:22] <amanATdesk> hi
[13:23] <ktwo> scott_ubu, AT5NM10T-I , 74GBP
[13:24] <amanATdesk> I'm having a problem with Apache2 on Precise. For the past few days, it's failed to load on booting into the OS. I have had to open terminal and do a "service apache2 start" to get it working. I ran the "apache2ctl status" test, and it gave me one error.
[13:24] <amanATdesk> "/usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 99: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: www-browser: not found"
[13:24] <scott_ubu> Not bad. How's ubuntu with AMD's APUs?
[13:24] <Travis-42> I've stopped using Nvidia's proprietary drivers because no matter what version I used, x-server crashes frequently after upgrading to 12.04. But, now I'm having trouble setting up multiple monitors. Is it possible without the nvidia drivers?
[13:26] <ktwo> scott_ubu, i dont know to be honest, but it should run, if not send it back :p
[13:26] <excell> hi all have a problem getting the pid id of a process using bash script i am using `pidof webcam /home/user/grab` probme is it ignores the white space in the name so lists all the process of the webcam ? hope that makes sense
[13:27] <scott_ubu> Is there any know fix to the laptops with hybrid intel/ati 5xxx hardware?
[13:27] <HelenB> I have e17 installed and would like to open the ubuntu network manager so that I can share a wifi connection to my netbook over the ethernet
[13:27] <HelenB> how do I do that?
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <ratcheer> scott_ubu: There is a thread about it on Ubuntu Forums
[13:29] <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.
[13:30] <HelenB> ratcheer: But I'm using e17
[13:31] <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.
[13:32] <adison> lynx -source "www.lullabot.com/podcast/feed" > lynxdump.htm

[13:32] <ikonia> adison: ?
[13:32] <adison> whoops
[13:32] <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
[13:33] <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
[13:34] <ikonia> cody__: going to sleep is suspend/hibernate
[13:35] <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.
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <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] <HelenB> I didn't I said that #kubuntu is idle
[13:37] <HelenB> and I want this problem fixing asap
[13:38] <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.
[13:39]  * HelenB sighs
[13:39] <cody__> hello???
[13:39] <Sidewinder> bricktea, Have you seen this? : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/
[13:39] <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] <ikonia> HelenB: right so your question is "what is the command to launch knetworkmanager"
[13:39] <HelenB> yes
[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?
[13:40] <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. :)
[13:41] <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
[13:43] <urthmover> Am I able to look at the date/timestamp on dmesg.0 to identify when the last reboot occurred?
[13:43] <ikonia> urthmover: "last" will show you when a reboot happened
[13:44] <WindowsSUCKS> Anyone know the name of the channel for the Linux Mint room?
[13:44] <HelenB> ikonia: That didn't help.
[13:44] <SafariMonkey> hi guys, I have this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128470/weird-youtube-player-colours-channels-swapped and when I open settings the panel displays, but does not interact (clicking does nothing)
[13:44] <HelenB> I want to launch it in e17
[13:44] <auronandace> !mint | WindowsSUCKS
[13:44] <SajjaD> how can i get pkgs links when i run " apt-get install PACKAGENAME " instead of downloading them ?
[13:44] <WindowsSUCKS> auronandace:  THANKS
[13:44] <urthmover> ok thanks ikonia
[13:44] <TestiPetteri> i cant find privoxy from synaptic...
[13:44] <ikonia> HelenB: yes, I hear that you want to launch it in E17
[13:45] <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] <drdozer1> "/etc/mtab: Input/output error"
[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
[13:46] <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"
[13:47] <gurifisu> i have a bash file, and I do bash myfile.bash but the outputs aren't print to scren
[13:47] <linuxfreaker> Captain_Proton: u there?
[13:47] <captine> anyone else experiencing 503 pages on the ubuntu website?
[13:48] <UICTamale> any chrome users here?   My address bar font is white and the address bar background is white as well.. I can't read any URL until I highlight the text.
[13:48] <linuxfreaker> I tried installing Ubuntu 11.04 on Dell server choosing UEFI boot option but it is not able to get install
[13:48] <ikonia> HelenB: apparantly knetworkmanager is actually the command to launch it
[13:48] <ikonia> HelenB: I'm unable to test this not having kde here, but that's what the docs say
[13:49] <Sidewinder> !text | c0rnel
[13:50] <linuxfreaker> When I am trying to install..it let me select Ubuntu menu but dont display anything more..
[13:50] <c0rnel> Sidewinder, thank you very much
[13:50] <Sidewinder> c0rnel, My pleasure. :)
[13:51] <Sidewinder> more coffee
[13:51] <c0rnel> do you also happen to know how can i start openbox from startx?
[13:51] <c0rnel> 12.04
[13:51] <jjavaholic_> what should be inside /usr/share/icons
[13:51] <c0rnel> Sidewinder, ^ , after coffee :)
[13:52] <linuxfreaker> Any idea under what condition will Ubuntu 11.04 will work with UEFI mode
[13:52] <linuxfreaker> Please suggest
[13:52] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: a valid efi environment should work fine
[13:52] <rebourn> http://i45.tinypic.com/287q1hg.jpg
[13:52] <fishcooker> which one is the best for fast n low mem usage; firefox or chromium
[13:52] <rebourn> http://dpaste.org/i4VoQ/
[13:52] <rebourn> any advice?
[13:53] <ikonia> rebourn: pointing at the wrong/invalid disk partition
[13:53] <rebourn> ikonia: how is it wrong?
[13:53] <ikonia> also looks like a gentoo error message
[13:53] <ikonia> rebourn: well, it says invalid block, suggesting that is the "wrong" partition for the expected data
[13:54] <fishcooker> which one is the best for fast n low mem usage; firefox or chromium?
[13:54] <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?
[13:55] <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] <fishcooker> 4gigs
[13:55] <u1_> Hi second try:  I got an ecryptfs issue. Can I copy .Private to another user and take it over (read write)
[13:56] <fishcooker> c0rnel:
[13:56] <fidel_> fishcooker: my guess: chrome > ff (but i prefer ff)
[13:56] <fishcooker> u1_:
[13:56] <rebourn> ikonia: thanks, ill give it a shot with the driver
[13:57] <c0rnel> fishcooker, then both are just fine
[13:57] <u1_> fishcooker,  yes? - same answer then earlier this day?
[13:57] <u1_> *than
[13:58] <fishcooker> u1_: i've got the solution
[13:58] <delinquentme> hey all I'm looking at this package called e4rat: http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/#contact  and It looks like ubuntu comes with a package that does the same thing called "ureadahead"
[13:58] <delinquentme> is one as good as the other?
[13:58] <mirak> does anyone ever used the container type in mdadm ?
[13:58] <u1_> fishcooker, nice for you ;)
[13:59] <altin> Hello, can anyone tell me how can I block a user in its home directory
[13:59] <altin> so that he can not access any other directory
[13:59] <ikonia> altin: the only real way is chroot
[14:00] <eutheria> can someone explain to me why i had to buy a marble arena for $0?
[14:01] <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
[14:02] <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
[14:03] <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
[14:04] <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
[14:05] <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.
[14:06] <c0rnel> Sidewinder, thank you very much
[14:06] <eutheria> oh it failed to install,
[14:06] <Linux{}> hi. WINE with 10.04 and 10.10 worked GREAT with many of my programs. (Battlefield Vietnam, Laughing Bird Logo Creator) and now in 12.04 its not working. Any ideas? Also is there anyway I can improve wine?
[14:07] <Linux{}> Wine is still working with many programs, but a lot of programs that used to work with wine arent working now
[14:07] <auronandace> Linux{}: it doesn't work well with compiz
[14:07] <fishcooker> u1_: https://docs.google.com/open?id=1lIJEofifaENAtFoMf0e3nsUNAa9jwk5aA1ei0N3QK4gnTRHtlYQqFfdF52Ct
[14:07] <auronandace> Linux{}: especially games
[14:07] <eutheria> Linux{}, how did it compare running games under windows?
[14:08] <SajjaD> i want a command in ubuntu like this in arch: " sudo pacman -Sp PAKAGENAME " that shows pkgs links
[14:08] <auronandace> Linux{}: thats in the topic of #winehq
[14:08] <Linux{}> auronandace:  It used to work really really well. Is there anyway to get rid of compiz
[14:08] <Linux{}> k I'll try there. Thanks
[14:08] <jrib> SajjaD: what are pkgs links?
[14:08] <Sidewinder> c0rnel, I'm sure someone more adept will assist you, eventually; while you wait, there's always ubuntuforums.org. They are very friendly there as well. :)
[14:09] <OerHeks> eutheria, install finished. It works for me.
[14:09] <SajjaD> jrib: i mean pkgs urls
[14:09] <jrib> SajjaD: you mean like the homepage?
[14:09] <SajjaD> jrib: what?
[14:09] <fidel_> jrib: my guess is he/she just wants the package-urls/links -> at least thats how i interpreted it ;)
[14:09] <jdhfr> I need gnome-shell working in ubuntu. right now it doesn't.
[14:09] <eutheria> OerHeks, oh well i guess it doesn't like me
[14:10] <jrib> SajjaD: oh you mean a url for the package in case you would like to download it?
[14:10] <Onixs> this channel never sleeps
[14:10] <SajjaD> jrib: yes.i don't want to download pkgs in terminal i want to download them with a download manager
[14:11] <fidel_> jdhfr: install it ;)
[14:11] <jrib> SajjaD: see « man apt-get » search for --print-uris
[14:11] <fidel_> jdhfr: or where's your problem with gnome-shell
[14:11] <jdhfr> i installed it but it segfaults
[14:12] <fidel_> !elaborate | jdhfr
[14:12] <SajjaD> jrib: i've tried that option but it doesn't shown any urls of pkgs
[14:12] <jrib> SajjaD: yes it does...
[14:12] <jrib> SajjaD: how did you try exactly?
[14:13] <SajjaD> jrib: sudo apt-get --print-uris install gnome-shell
[14:13] <jrib> SajjaD: 1) you don't want to use sudo.  2) what was the result (use a pastebin)
[14:13] <adison> no
[14:13] <raptor67682> hello
[14:14] <jdhfr> http://paste.ubuntu.com/973608/
[14:14] <ironhalik> hmm, after plugging in second display, unity started freezing on login
[14:14] <jure> 1) how do I change the color scheme? 2) how do I change mouse scroll wheel speed? 3) how do I modify window borders?
[14:14] <raptor67682> would you know how to convert your abook contacts to xml osmo contacts_records.xml ?
[14:16] <jdhfr> jure: you cannot, you cannot, you cannot
[14:16] <plot44> Hi - can anyone help.  Had to reinstal ubuntu on lenovo 3-103t and it is not recognising I have a wireless card
[14:16] <jure> jdhfr: all of this possible in older versions of Ubuntu
[14:16] <jure> jdhfr: *was possible
[14:17] <Sidewinder> jure, Have you looked under settings?
[14:17] <jure> Sidewinder: yes.
[14:17] <jure> Sidewinder: I've even installed gnome-tweak-tool.
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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..
[14:20] <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] <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.
[14:21] <jdhfr> I HAVE INSTALLED GNOME_SHELL, BUT IT SEGFAULTS
[14:21] <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..
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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?
[14:24] <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.
[14:25] <jure> Sidewinder: well, yeah, but it doesn't fix all the other orange and purple
[14:25] <girlzilla> terribly sorry to interrupt, guys.
[14:25] <girlzilla> does anyone know of a lively interesting irc channel/
[14:25] <girlzilla> ?
[14:25] <Sidewinder> jure, Actually, it's called Bacgground, in this version.
[14:25] <girlzilla> i just downloaded chatzilla.
[14:25] <hex20dec> girlzilla: #defocus
[14:25] <Sidewinder> Background, even.
[14:25] <Sidewinder> :)
[14:25] <jure> Sidewinder: Background != color scheme
[14:25] <girlzilla> thanks hex
[14:26] <girlzilla> cheers.

[14:26] <u1_> fishcooker, I already knew this, but I want to take over as another user, mounted rw on the fly and keep both encrypted machines synced. I knew something similar: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/mounting-your-encrypted-home-from.html
[14:26] <zamba> why does my ubuntu server always start my raid as /dev/md_d0 and degraded?
[14:27] <Sidewinder> jure, In that settings under wallpapers, click color gradients,,.
[14:27] <zamba> do i have to lock this somehow?
[14:27] <UICTamale> can anyone recommend some nice dark gtk themes?  I'm currently using swar black, but it's got this annoying tiling background that doesn't fit unity's nautilus windows
[14:27] <spupuser1> hello
[14:27] <Lasher> UICTamale, I like OMG-dark
[14:27]  * gunouille calibrates the colours of monitor to zen status
[14:28] <UICTamale> Lasher: thanks, checking it out
[14:28] <jure> Sidewinder: color gradients != color scheme !
[14:28] <jure> lol
[14:28] <Sidewinder> Hey, I'm tryin', man..
[14:29] <BlueWolf> Hi, does anyone know the word processor really well in Ubuntu 10.10 - I would Like to ask some questions that the internet can't.
[14:29] <blabla> ciao
[14:29] <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] <blabla> lista canali
[14:29] <Sidewinder> Tiresome
[14:29] <Lasher> but /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2800.conf is no longer there
[14:30] <Sidewinder> !list > blabla
[14:30] <u1_> fishcooker, I think that would be only easily possible with encfs?
[14:30] <jure> Sidewinder: check it out, this is a cool color scheme http://tech.gaeatimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/mesmerized.jpg
[14:30] <blabla> !list
[14:30] <nicastor> can i write a script that would run on my terminal automatically?
[14:31] <gerryvdm> hi, i noticed a whoopsie daemon running on my ubuntu 12.04 server, is that installed by default? is it safe to remove?
[14:31] <Lasher> nicastor, look up bash startup scripts
[14:31] <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] <jdhfr> so I'm being ignored?
[14:31] <blabla>  /msg ubottu !alis
[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
[14:32] <UICTamale> i'll check that out as well.
[14:32] <BlueWolf> Hi, does anyone know the word processor really well in Ubuntu 10.10 - I would Like to ask some questions that the internet can't.
[14:32] <Lasher> it's for Gnome 2 however UICTamale
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <Lasher> nobody knows where /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2800.conf has moved or what to do about wifi failing after sleep?
[14:33] <jdhfr> if ubuntu does not support gnome 3, it will be uninstalled
[14:34] <jrib> jdhfr: please stick to support; threats are pointless
[14:34] <u1_> fishcooker, thank you very much, anyway!
[14:35] <c0rnel> Sidewinder, i was wrong: adding text there, does start 12.04 in text mode
[14:35] <jdhfr> I state my problem but got no any support so far
[14:35] <Sidewinder> c0rnel, Glad to hear it! Congrats. :)
[14:36] <root___> --help
[14:36] <ikonia> ask a question if you want help
[14:37] <jrib> jdhfr: like I told you, if we don't know the answer, we cannot answer you.  Instead of making statements not relevant to your issue, you're more likely to get help if you give more details (in a pastebin) and then summarize on one line your issue.  Again, details make it more likely someone can give you some advice.  But please be patient and wait at least 10 minutes before repeating your question
[14:37] <jdhfr> I gave you details
[14:37] <root___> hello
[14:37] <ikonia> root___: hi
[14:37] <Lasher> jdhfr, nobody is getting paid here

[14:38] <hex20dec> Hey everyone, my mail server ip has been reported as junk for some unknown reason and I can't receive any of the emails being sent from my server.
[14:38] <hex20dec> and no, my server does not send out junk, I hardly even use it, it's still in testing.
[14:39] <BlueWolf> Hi, does anyone know the word processor really well in Ubuntu 10.10 - I would Like to ask some questions that the internet can't.
[14:39] <foolsh> hex20dec: Do you have a cert signed by a trusted CA?
[14:39] <jdhfr> BlueWolf: #libreoffice
[14:39] <Linux{}> BlueWolf, I use libre office writer a lot....whats the question?
[14:39] <fAz4> anyone from USA ?
[14:39] <ikonia> fAz4: why ?
[14:39] <hex20dec> foolsh: No.
[14:39] <Linux{}> fAz4: I'm from USA
[14:40] <Linux{}> EUgene, Oregon to be exact
[14:40] <fAz4> just had a question
[14:40] <fAz4> Linux{}: may i IM you ?
[14:40] <gunouille> Linux{}, do you have a green card?
[14:40] <hex20dec> foolsh: Not that I know of.
[14:40] <hex20dec> foolsh: Can you please help me?
[14:41] <Onixs> moin
[14:41] <BlueWolf> Linux{} Well I want to know how to anchor an image onto it so that if someone opens it in windows they can put in text were they feel fit.
[14:42] <Linux{}> gunouille:  a green card as in a medical cannabis card? Yes I do actually
[14:42] <UICTamale> anyone else noticing LOTS of application crashes in 12.04?
[14:42] <Pici> Linux{}, gunouille: Can you move the non Ubuntu dicussion elsewhere.
[14:42] <UICTamale> I've only been using my workstation for about an hour this morning, and already I've had at least 4 applications crash around a total of 12 times in total
[14:42] <jdhfr> BlueWolf: you may want to use better translator, as now you don't make much sense
[14:44] <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.
[14:45] <BlueWolf> Linux{}:	- jdhfr: Sorry - I would like to know how it would be possible to Anchor the picture to the word processor page so that I can save it and give it to someone who uses window and they cant put in the text they want on the image as they will be changing it often, better?
[14:46] <Linux{}> Jef91:  I had that same problem Figured out the installation of 12.04 didnt complete and I had to finish the upgrade...fixed it for me
[14:46] <wormmd> So here's an interesting question: I have a running 11.10 distro up, but I want to move to Lubuntu 12.04 without completely reinstalling. Can I upgrade to 12.04, remove GNOME, and install LXDE to "emulate" a reinstall?
[14:46] <Linux{}> Jef91: Are you using unity? or are you using gnome
[14:46] <Jef91> I'm using E17 Linux{}
[14:46] <Jef91> Everything installed fine - no extra updates to install
[14:47] <wormmd> Did all of that show up for you? I'm missing the top two lines...
[14:47] <Linux{}> BlueWolf:  I'm not understanding the second part to teh question. I know how to make an image be an anchor
[14:47] <DJones> wormmd: That should be straight forward, just upgrade, then install the lubuntu desktop and select it at boot time
[14:48] <plot44> Hi - can anyone help.  Have fresh install of 11.10 and my wireless card is blocked/not availble in network mgr.  Any help welcome
[14:48] <Linux{}> Jef91:  SOrry I've never used E17.  All I know is I had that same problem and it drove me nuts. Make sure to run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[14:48] <jjk> Hello! is there a way to backup partition images with ext4 filesystem?
[14:48] <wormmd> DJones, thanks :)
[14:48] <DJones> wormmd: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44062/how-do-i-install-lxde-lubuntu
[14:48] <Jef91> Already done Linux{}
[14:49] <Jef91> Never had an issue with nm-applet and e17 on previous versions :-/
[14:49] <jjk> excluding acronis, somehing opensource?
[14:49] <Jef91> E17 just has a generic systray
[14:49] <Jef91> not panel applets
[14:49] <BlueWolf> Linux{}: Now how to Anchor it to the page in the word processor. You know that when you start it, it is a white page - well I want to replace it with the image so that one can add in writing over the image?
[14:49] <Jef91> dropbox/xchat show fine
[14:49] <Linux{}> Jef91, Yea same here..then I upgraded to 12.04
[14:49] <Shanth> my code is #include<stdio.h>
[14:49] <Shanth> int main()
[14:49] <Shanth> {
[14:49] <Shanth> printf("Hello World");
[14:49] <Shanth> return 0;
[14:49] <FloodBot1> Shanth: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:49] <Shanth> }
[14:50] <Linux{}> BlueWolf: So you want to have the background become an image an allow people to write over it?  Where does the anchor link come in?
[14:50] <jjk> Jef91, Linux{}  how did you installed e17? I wish to install that too apt-get install e17?
[14:50] <Onixs> damn so confused.  whats all this ubuntu lubuntu and kubuntu!
[14:50] <jdhfr> BlueWolf: use text wrapping options
[14:50] <Jef91> jjk I build my own packages
[14:50] <Jef91> The e17 in the Ubuntu repos is fairly old
[14:50] <Linux{}> jjk, I've never used E17. I use gnome, unity, kde, and xfce
[14:50] <Jef91> Linux{} should give it a try
[14:50] <jdhfr> there is a checkbox in menu which controls if the image is placed behind text
[14:50] <wormmd> Onixs, different desktop environments.
[14:50] <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
[14:50] <Jef91> very flexible and super faster
[14:51] <Linux{}> Jef91, whats the best way to install?
[14:51] <Lasher> I am experience issues with wifi not working after netbook wakes from sleep. The card st ralink rt2700e
[14:51] <DJones> Onixs: Ubuntu uses the gnome desktop, kubuntu uses the kde desktop, lubuntu uses LXDE as its desktop, but they all use the same base systems
[14:51] <navatwo> Anyone know how I can install libgtkmm-2.4-dev:i386?
[14:51] <BlueWolf> Linux{}: Well sorry I use gimp and it's called Anchoring. But yes that is the goal
[14:51] <jjk> Jef91, did you followed a tutorial for building it? caould you give me a link?
[14:51] <Jef91> Linux{} build it from SVN source
[14:51] <jdhfr> can some one help with gnome-shell segfaulting?
[14:51] <Jef91> jjk I maintain this -> bodhilinux.com
[14:51] <jjk> thx
[14:51] <Linux{}> BlueWolf, Oh I always have known anchoring to be "linking". Such as if my web site linked to freenode website...it would be an anchor
[14:52] <Linux{}> BlueWolf, I've never had to do what are you asking, but one sec I'll see if I can figure it out
[14:52] <navatwo> Anyone know how I can install libgtkmm-2.4-dev:i386 on x86_64
[14:52] <jjk> oh, lol that's another distro :))
[14:52] <wormmd> navatwo, apt-get?
[14:52] <giggsey> How would I use dmraid to mount a degraded RAID 5?
[14:52] <Carraway> this may be a remarkably dumb unix question, but in the line if [ -f $f ] ; then... what's the point of the '-f'?
[14:52] <Onixs> when you say desktop,  are you refering to theme of the gui?
[14:52] <navatwo> wormmd: says unresolved dep
[14:52] <navatwo> Carraway: checks if it exists iirc
[14:52] <wormmd> navatwo, doesn't it tell you the dep?
[14:52] <Linux{}> BlueWolf:  Try reading http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/msg04223.html
[14:53] <navatwo> wormmd: yes, but there are a LOT.
[14:53] <wormmd> navatwo, thinking...
[14:53] <Sidewinder> Onixs, You may wish to have a look here for various explanations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29
[14:53] <Carraway> navatwo: Ahh ok, that makes sense in the context of the script. Thanks.
[14:54] <Shanth> i have problem in compiling this code http://paste.ubuntu.com/973681/
[14:54] <BlueWolf> Linux{}: It's OpenOffice ( the program I am using. And how would I change that page from portrait to landscape?
[14:54] <BlueWolf> Trying it
[14:55] <Linux{}> BlueWolf:  I'm playing around with it. I can make the image as a background, but having trouble with adding the text over teh image
[14:55] <navatwo> wormmd: http://paste.villavu.com/show/2740/
[14:55] <Sidewinder> Shanth, Have you read this? :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[14:55] <wormmd> navatwo, so you're developing 32bit code on a 64bit system? Might need to bypass apt entirely and build it yourself and just link your code to that library
[14:55] <compdoc> Shanth, thats not code that needs compiling
[14:55] <navatwo> wormmd: yes
[14:55] <plot44> Anyone experiences wireless card being blocked out?
[14:56] <BlueWolf> Linux{}: Or is there any other program that will allow me to do that and still be opened in windows word?
[14:56] <Linux{}> BlueWolf:  Sorry I thought that was instructions for libre not open office
[14:56] <Sidewinder> Shanth, This is also a good foray into Shell Scripting: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/part1.html
[14:56] <Linux{}> BlueWolf, Open office and libre office are the two best word processors for linux
[14:56] <jdhfr> BlueWolf: use normal MS Word instead of that c..p
[14:57] <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.
[14:58] <navatwo> wormmd: I tried that too
[14:58] <navatwo> I think I have to build it myself..
[14:58] <jdhfr> BlueWolf: he had either use libreoffice too, or you should use word via wine
[14:58] <navatwo> wormmd: that sucks, but not the end of the world.
[14:59] <Shanth> great doubt , what chat clien you all are using , i'm using X-Chat , but i can't able to reply to a particular person... ;)
[14:59] <wormmd> navatwo, http://askubuntu.com/questions/29665/apt-get-32-bit-package-on-amd64-ubuntu-installation
[14:59] <jdhfr> because c..p that LO generates is not compatible with anything else than itself
[14:59] <BlueWolf> 	
[14:59] <Linux{}> BlueWolf:  Sorry I've looked around on libre office and cant figure out how to write text over the image..It HAS to be possible though.
[14:59] <BlueWolf> jdhfr: Will it run well with wine with out glitches?
[14:59] <gogeta> BlueWolf: libre office is for windows to so
[14:59] <wormmd> navatwo, check the second answer.
[14:59] <wormmd> navatwo, sounds like a neat ppa.
[15:00] <wormmd> navatwo, because I would hate setting up a bunch of chroots to do what you need to do easily :)
[15:00] <jdhfr> without glitches? I'm not sure, but you can create compatible documents in that way
[15:00] <Sidewinder> !who | Shanth
[15:00] <gogeta> jdhfr: so can libre lol
[15:00] <navatwo> wormmd: oo, it does look nice.
[15:01] <BlueWolf> Linux{}: The only way that I have been doing it is by using GIMP, but the problem is that I have to me over ten different text things when I could just use one background and change the text.
[15:01] <jdhfr> gogeta: libreofiice is barely compatible with itself, and cannot produce good word documents
[15:01] <wormmd> navatwo, thanks for asking the question, I'm glad I found that ppa for myself now! ;)
[15:01] <navatwo> wormmd: always glad to help
[15:02] <BlueWolf> dhfr: Most programs that run through wine have some problem attached to them.
[15:02] <gogeta> BlueWolf: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10
[15:03] <drag0nius> hello
[15:03] <drag0nius> what would be optimal ubuntu + windows 7 filesystem?
[15:03] <gogeta> BlueWolf: quick way to get a answer for a wine app
[15:03] <wormmd> drag0nius, separate partitions with appropriate filesystems.
[15:03] <drag0nius> i've one partition for win7 one for ubuntu and want to have 3rd accessible from both systems
[15:04] <BlueWolf> 	
[15:04] <Sidewinder> Probably NTFS, then.
[15:04] <wormmd> drag0nius, as far as I know, NTFS is readable/writable in both.
[15:04] <BlueWolf> gogeta: I know all that. But thanks
[15:04] <BlueWolf> 	
[15:04] <BlueWolf> gogeta: Cool, thanks :D
[15:05] <gogeta> BlueWolf: looks like using word in wine isnt gonna work
[15:05] <drag0nius> hows notepad++ in wine recently? ;d
[15:05] <usuario> ola wpo
[15:05] <usuario> ola wpa
[15:05] <syddraf> So I recently upgraded my home ethernet to gigabit, but my Ubuntu computers are not taking advantage of the higher speed capacity. When using FTP to transfer files between computers, it still transfers at ~100Mbps. Do I need to do something special in Ubuntu to utilize the higher speed?
[15:05] <wormmd> gogeta, someone in my office figured it out, but the cost definitely outweighs the benefit.
[15:05] <mirak> is there a channel for mdadm and raid ?
[15:05] <krababbel> BlueWolf: if you want word, just use virtualbox for example
[15:06] <ikonia> mirak: what's the issue ?
[15:06] <gogeta> wormmd: make em all run libreoffice problem fixed works on all os
[15:06] <wormmd> gogeta, some crazy winetricks magic.
[15:06] <plot44> can anyone help me with a wireless card prob? Thanks
[15:06] <Sidewinder> BlueWolf, If all else fails, you might even try the older Openoffice.org, wordprocessor.
[15:06] <wormmd> gogeta, I support that.
[15:06] <krababbel> syddraf: what cables do you use, also don't expect much more than 300
[15:06] <krababbel> syddraf: 300MB I heard
[15:06] <BlueWolf> gogeta: Thats what I meant, I have tryed lots of windows programs on wine and it has failed.
[15:07] <Lasher> the issue with the wifi I am having has been present in Mint 9- in which I was able to fix it by editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2800.conf
[15:07] <syddraf> krababbel: Cat 6. The cards are all gigabit ethernet as is the switch.
[15:07] <BlueWolf> 	
[15:07] <BlueWolf> Sidewinder: So you would not have any idea on how to mount an image to the background?
[15:07] <gogeta> BlueWolf: if they dont all mind running something other then microsoft office libre is cross platform
[15:08] <krababbel> syddraf: I haven't used giagbit but I read once that about 300MB would be usually usable. The hosts and network devices need to be fast too.
[15:08] <sipior> syddraf: what does ethtool make of the card?
[15:08] <GetsEclectic> i built unity from source to disable multitouch gestures and i held the package in synaptic but it keeps trying to upgrade it anyway, i guess the hold only keeps it at a certain version but doesn't make sure my package doesn't get replaced since it's the same version as the repo?
[15:08] <Sidewinder> BlueWolf, No idea, but as a last resort, you might try what I suggested, above; no guarantee. :-)
[15:09] <syddraf> sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/973721/
[15:09] <BlueWolf> Sidewinder: :D thanks
[15:09] <Sidewinder> BlueWolf, I hope it helps.
[15:10] <sipior> syddraf: setup a test transfer using netcat and pv, see what rates you get.
[15:10] <krababbel> BlueWolf: You can use writer without any fancy stuff like graphics, or special paragraphs, and word will read it easier. Also if you have Windows, use Virtualbox
[15:10] <BlueWolf> 	
[15:10] <BlueWolf> Sidewinder: In the end it will.............
[15:10] <BlueWolf> :D
[15:10] <FloodBot1> BlueWolf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:10] <wormmd> Back to my original question about uninstalling GNOME in favor of LXDE: I want to completely remove the GNOME desktop environment and use applications associated with LXDE only, which is why a complete reinstall is appealing to me.
[15:10] <gogeta> syddraf: you relise all devices need to be gigafast rite
[15:10] <wormmd> Will just doing sudo apt-get remove gnome-shell and possibly sudo apt-get autoremove work?
[15:10] <bazhang> !purelxde | wormmd
[15:10] <jdhfr> wormmd: there are not LXDE applications
[15:10] <linuxfreaker> Guys..I am trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 through UEFI option but its not getting installed
[15:10] <wormmd> bazhang, thanks.
[15:11] <wormmd> jdhfr, I know.
[15:11] <gogeta> wormmd: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop then after thats dont apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[15:11] <gogeta> done
[15:11] <linuxfreaker> I am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on dell server
[15:11] <bazhang> gogeta, thats not right
[15:11] <syddraf> gogeta: Of course. When I purchased all of the devices they all showed gigabit support.
[15:11] <eutheria> what games can you guys suggest ?
[15:11] <gogeta> bazhang: when that change
[15:11] <celthunder> wormmd: no you would have to remove everything that has to do with gtk and qt and then replace thim with whatever lxde uses
[15:11] <wormmd> I want to "emulate" a Lubuntu reinstall.
[15:11] <bazhang> gogeta, removing ubuntu-desktop has never worked
[15:12] <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] <rabbi1> after all, at last, i have downloaded 12.04 iso and extracted to usb.. now even clicking on wubi.exe doesn't show up anything :(
[15:12] <root___> exit
[15:12] <gogeta> wormmd: dont you need gigabit cables to
[15:12] <bazhang> rabbi1, extracted how
[15:13] <wormmd> gogeta, huh?
[15:13] <root___> How can join to PHP chanel?
[15:13] <jrib> root___: /join ##php
[15:13] <navatwo> wormmd: that package doesn't quite work.
[15:13] <navatwo> :/
[15:13] <wormmd> navatwo, darn :(
[15:13] <navatwo> its older and it appears to be outdated
[15:14] <mirak> ikonia: i want to know more about the container raid level. I also would like to know if there is ways to reshap raid as easily as LVM allows. I have already LVM inside raid 0 volume. I am wondering if putting RAID inside LVM wouldn't help to have more possibilities of mixing raid levels
[15:14] <Areckx> so.............................http://paste.ubuntu.com/973727/ Trying to get World of Warcraft running. This paste shows the terminal screen while it is checking for updates and then I click on 'Play' and the window closes, then nothing happens...
[15:14] <rabbi1> bazhang: 7zip
[15:15] <Areckx> wine --version
[15:15] <Areckx> wine-1.4
[15:15] <bazhang> rabbi1, that wont work if you are trying to get a bootable iso for install or live usb
[15:15] <slake76> italy????
[15:15] <gogeta> wormmd: you should be using cat 6
[15:15] <bazhang> !unetbootin | rabbi1
[15:15] <bazhang> slake76, #ubuntu-it
[15:16] <wormmd> gogeta, I wasn't asking those questions :)
[15:16] <rabbi1> bazhang: not trying for a bootable one, just trying to install from windows,...
[15:16] <bazhang> rabbi1, wubi?
[15:16] <rabbi1> bazhang: yeah
[15:16] <rabbi1> bazhang: onclicking wubi.ext doesn't show up any screen
[15:17] <wormmd> navatwo, chroots may be your solution then.
[15:17] <wormmd> I don't know too much about chrooted environments, but this sounds like a perfect opportunity for you to learn!
[15:18] <gogeta> :P
[15:18] <rabbi1> bazhang: should i use linuxliveusb ?
[15:19] <jdhfr> does anyone know how to make work gnome-shell in ubuntu?
[15:20] <celthunder> jdhfr: install it and set it in .xinitrc?
[15:20] <jdhfr> hell, it crashes
[15:20] <auronandace> jdhfr: don't you just: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell then login to it via lightdm?
[15:20] <wormmd> jdhfr, what auronandace said.
[15:20] <jdhfr> and you know that but still are taunting me
[15:20] <gogeta> auronandace: i think its broken in 12.04
[15:20] <wormmd> That's what I did, anyway.
[15:20] <wormmd> jdhfr, I'm running 11.10.
[15:21] <celthunder> jdhfr: so whats the error that it crashes with
[15:21] <jdhfr> http://paste.ubuntu.com/973608/
[15:22] <navatwo> wormmd: I'm just using schroot
[15:22] <Cameron__> hi
[15:22] <BlueWolf> wormmd: If you don't mind me asking, how is 11.10, what is your opinion. Is it buggy?
[15:22] <Daghdha> Hi, does ubuntu automatically use alternative DNS's?
[15:22] <Cameron__> what do you use for your logs
[15:22] <wormmd> navatwo, best of luck.
[15:22] <wormmd> Cameron__, tail or less, usually.
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <wormmd> Seriously?
[15:26] <mneptok> !lmgtfy
[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...
[15:27] <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
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <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.
[15:30] <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.
[15:31] <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 ;-)
[15:32] <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.
[15:33] <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.
[15:34] <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] <mneptok> aerospain: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ <--- the -alternate image is there.
[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?
[15:35] <aerospain> mneptok ::: thanks!!!!
[15:35] <cypher-neo> mneptok, Hope everything works out okay. :)
[15:35] <cypher-neo> Oops
[15:35] <cypher-neo> Wrong person
[15:35] <krababbel> Areckx: did you try virtualbox? i think it has opengl acceleration
[15:35] <Daghdha> celthunder: Google.. i pass.
[15:35] <mneptok> cypher-neo: thanks anyway
[15:35] <cypher-neo> aerospain, That was meant for you. :P Hope it all works out okay.
[15:35] <cypher-neo> mneptok, lol
[15:35] <aerospain> Lo
[15:35] <oCean> jdhfr: if you just came to rant, please find an other place to do so
[15:36] <aerospain> LoL
[15:36] <Daghdha> Just a matter of time before google starts routing it the way they want. having EVERYONES banners come from their servers :)
[15:36] <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.
[15:37] <aerospain> mneptok ::: thanks!
[15:37] <nog> hello, anyone else here have a problem with libvirt when upgrading to 12.04?
[15:38] <nog> why drying to start up the domain i get this with virsh
[15:38] <nog> "error: Unable to create tap device vnet%d: Operation not permitted"
[15:38] <SajjaD> how to change boot order?
[15:38] <jdhfr> I just want to give your distro a last chance before it will go into wastebacket
[15:38] <jdhfr> so if it is true, say so
[15:39] <bazhang> jdhfr, file a bug, stop complaining
[15:39] <emilien> hello
[15:39] <rile_bre> why google is seting  tis serever to be update ...server i change this avey now and then
[15:41] <zyklon1> !list
[15:42] <cypher-neo> oCean, As much as jdhfr is complaining you'd think Ubuntu had done something serious like stolen his favorite teddy-bear pendrive. lol
[15:42] <msi> Hey, guys, can screen flickering be bad for your monitor? I have a laptop with Bumblbee installed, and it flickers cause of it, however, it's not bad on my eyes or anything, I'm just worried about the monitor. Should I be?
[15:42] <oCean> cypher-neo: no need to comment, thanks
[15:42] <ano123> what do you guys recommend, how to install xubuntu to a netbook with no cd drive
[15:42] <kel_> usb drive?
[15:42] <celthunder> ano123: usb
[15:42] <cypher-neo> ano123, Try a pendrive
[15:42] <bazhang> ano123, unetbootin
[15:45] <Chris_0076> I know I have asked this maybe 5 times over the past 2 days but, is there a way to change the font color of the mouseover/hover text?
[15:45] <Chris_0076> ex: http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/9398/screenshotfrom201205061.png
[15:46] <Chris_0076> note that happens even for mousing over unity stuff
[15:46] <cypher-neo> Chris_0076, I see your problem.
[15:46] <Chris_0076> other info: Ubuntu 12.04, Unity, 64 bit
[15:47] <Chris_0076> cypher-neo, yes, I see my problem too ^^
[15:47] <cypher-neo> Chris_0076, It looks like an issue with the theme that's being used. You could try changing the theme in Appearance and see if that changes the hover text color.
[15:47] <Chris_0076> Even changing theme does not fix it
[15:47] <Chris_0076> I have tried them all >.>
[15:48] <Kircle> How do I disable the thumbnailing of a specific filetype?
[15:48] <saleem> hi, what package is needed to project desktop display to an overhead multimedia projector for running impress slides?
[15:50] <apan_> hello, anyhow that I could search for a file by keyword from bash? (ubuntu server 11.10)
[15:50] <auronandace> saleem: drivers for your projector i guess
[15:50] <cypher-neo> Chris_0076, I found this by Googling
[15:50] <fidel_> apan_: check: man find
[15:50] <cypher-neo> Chris_0076, It apparently worked on 11.10. Don't know about 12.04
[15:50] <apan_> thanks

[15:53] <sajimon> Fat-Thing: i'm not certain, but i think openoffice is generaly dead now, you want to use libreoffice instead.
[15:53] <Chris_0076> cypher-neo, trying them now, thanks ^^
[15:54] <Fat-Thing> sajimon,  installing libreoffice done but can't get the word processor :(
[15:55] <sajimon> Fat-Thing: ee, i find it hard to belive, try running 'lowriter' command
[15:56] <Fat-Thing> how? sorry but i'm still not familiar with the commands
[15:57] <sajimon> open terminal from menu and them enter command
[15:57] <sajimon> then*
[15:58] <Fat-Thing> sudo apt-get install libreoffice-lowriter? like that?
[15:58] <Fat-Thing> lol
[15:58] <Fat-Thing> sorry for that if i didnt get it right
[15:58] <sajimon> no just try to run writer, you said you have it already installed
[15:58] <sajimon> and it comes installed by default
[15:59] <Chris_0076> cypher-neo, YAY, it worked ^^ thank you so much ^^
[15:59] <ChogyDan> hey folks, when I try to drag links from chromium, it saves the page, instead of creating a link.  And ideas on how to fix this?
[16:00] <pacific-blue> xchat --help
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <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
[16:02] <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.
[16:03] <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!
[16:04] <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?
[16:05] <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
[16:06] <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] <fidel_> keep in mind its somehow tricky at the start
[16:07] <MirkoKa> LgL: because I want/need to get familar with Unity and I can life with allmost all of it, I just *need* a decent taskbar and the unity panel is usless to me.
[16:07] <APoulos> Hey folks, I'm trying to make a bash script that works in Nautilus for creating a folder based off of the name of a file. Could someone help me out?
[16:07] <u12> hello
[16:07] <sirlark> Hi, if I've written a custom init script that handles start and stop arguments, does "update-rc.d myscript defaults" create links so that the start and stop arguments will be handled correctly, or are the argument passed by init?
[16:07] <kurtcho> you can always ditch unity and replace it with an alternate launcher
[16:07] <lgp171188> Hi, in my new Ubuntu precise 64-bit installation, login from lightdm fails even with correct credentials. The same credentials work fine in the virtual terminals. 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
[16:08] <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] <BLZbubba> how can i change the application fonts in 12.04?
[16:09] <kurtcho> because the is openjdk 7
[16:09] <u12> i have installed ubuntu to dual voot with windows .. when restart i see a black screen  ... grub rescue
[16:09] <kurtcho> you can get it from software centre
[16:09] <u12> boot
[16:09] <MirkoKa> Lgl: yes, see I want to use Unity for a moment ,ok? but I want a taskbar. right now I have unity running and also the xfce panel. I just want to stop the top-level unity panel from starting, that's all :-)
[16:09] <u12> I am on the live cd now , this what fdisk -l shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/973631/
[16:10] <w1jp> I am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a lenovo T61 (64-bit)
[16:10] <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?
[16:11] <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.
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <w1jp> I am not even sure what controls the sound in 12.04. Is it ALSA or PulseAudio?
[16:14] <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.
[16:15] <w1jp> I am not sure if that is a driver funciton or a master function.
[16:15] <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/
[16:16] <ano123> i tried unetbootin for installing xubuntu to my netbook, but didnt have much success. first: installation didnt recognize my network (only wifi). secondly it failed and couldnt install after it had made partitions..
[16:17] <ano123> i tried using 12 alternate install iso for it
[16:17] <apan_> If i want to make a service an upstart job and add it in the /etc/intit.d path, which file extension should i save the file as?
[16:17] <BLZbubba> apan_: you want it in /etc/init - and there should be many examples in there to copy
[16:17] <BLZbubba> whatever.conf
[16:17] <apan_> ah alright thanks
[16:18] <BLZbubba> it can get painful with the new house-of-cards dependency system

[16:26] <ironhalik> Im using two displays on a geforce 8600 GTS gpu
[16:27] <ironhalik> when I set the OS to use both displays independently, instead of cloning, it works ok
[16:27] <ironhalik> but after reboot, when I log into my user, the screen gets corrupted

[16:27] <geekback> hows it going this fine evening
[16:27] <Stereocaulon> Anyone who answers to my question, please do so in a PM. That way I'll be able to see it when I get back from dinner. Thanks in advance.
[16:27] <joann> no one is in that other chat, or just don't know and can't reply

[16:32] <joann> ok this isn't good, I can't get an answer in the winehq chat.
[16:32] <bazhang> joann, what did the appdb say
[16:33] <joann> do I put that in terminal or what, I'm new here.
[16:33] <auronandace> joann: go to the website and check the appdb

[16:36] <Trian3> BTW, I have 3 drives in this desktop, the first two are part of a mirrored array, the third is stand-alone.
[16:36] <auronandace> joann: you don't need to register to view the appdb
[16:36] <wylde> joann: apt-cache policy wine <--- in terminal ( which you can open with ctrl+alt+t)

[16:39] <eutheria> i don't like gnome shell much either
[16:39] <Sidewinder> _zion, In terminal, cd /Media/your_USB's_UUID I believe. Or maybe media, not sure of the case,..
[16:39] <eutheria> unity i think is now better
[16:39] <irv> eutheria: sorry, shoudl have specified, i'm making the USB from win 7
[16:39] <irv> bazhang: thx
[16:40] <eutheria> i don't use windows :)
[16:40] <KM0201> eutheria: i agree.. unity has improved dramatically (as in, now i;'m willing to use it, before i wasn't)
[16:40] <eutheria> KM0201, me too
[16:40] <KM0201> only thing i miss (and it may be a setting somewhere) is being able to use my scroll wheel to move between workspaces
[16:40] <eutheria> i just want the following, eclipse to be allowed to use the global menu, i did a hack to get it working and very nice it is too
[16:41] <eutheria> KM0201, yes i like being able to have the 1x4 virtual desktops again
[16:41] <_zion> Sidewinder, what command shows all attached diveces???
[16:41] <eutheria> 2x2 virtual desktops stopped me using unity
[16:41] <KM0201> i wish i could have more workspaces w/ unity... w/o using compiz
[16:41] <irv> eutheria: i'm at work ;] so i don't have a choice :D
[16:41] <eutheria> i would like to be able to dump the left panel and just have the dash appear when i hit meta
[16:42] <eutheria> KM0201, 1x4 is fine for me
[16:42] <Sidewinder> _zion, Try: sudo lshw and/or sudo lsusb if you're only lookin' for USB devices.
[16:42] <KM0201> yeah, me to, but i'd really like 8 (i've usually got a few SSH windows open, etc.. gets cluttered)
[16:42] <eutheria> KM0201, terminator
[16:42] <zamba> i have the following in my syslog: [6653350.225218] swapper: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x20
[16:42] <Trian3> Can anyone help w/ a grub installation error?
[16:42] <zamba> what could be causing that?
[16:42] <zamba> the server became unresponsive afterwards and needed a reboot
[16:43] <Sidewinder> _zion, Might not even need the "sudo", not sure. :)
[16:43] <KM0201> Trian3: the error?
[16:43] <Trian3> KM0201: I just installed 12.04 on my desktop and everything went fine except at the end when it gave me an error: "executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed".
[16:43] <eutheria> KM0201, i used to be terminal crazy, but i know consider if i have more than a couple of terminals open i am doing things wrong
[16:43] <_zion> Sidewinder, nope not right one
[16:43] <KM0201> eutheria: , meh, doesn't bother me
[16:43] <auronandace> KM0201: myunity can give you more workspaces, i got 9
[16:43] <KM0201> Trian3: did you install from USB?
[16:43] <KM0201> auronandace: i've not really looked into that yet.
[16:44] <Trian3> KM0201: I have 3 drives in my system, first two form a mirrored array.  Third is stand-alone.  No, from CD I created from .iso
[16:44] <KM0201> Trian3: hmm, did you use the "automatic" installer, or did you partition the drives yourself?
[16:44] <Trian3> KM0201:  Automatic.
[16:45] <auronandace> KM0201: that and making the backgrounds of the icons in the unity bar clear, is the only reason i have myunity installed
[16:45] <Trian3> KM0201:  It was a fresh install, not an upgrade.
[16:45] <mobius420> greetings #ubuntu
[16:45] <KM0201> Trian3: i'm guessing.. but i would suspect it misdetected one of the RAID drives as sda, .. (i've usually seen this happen w/ USB installs, where it sometimes detects the thumb drive as sda)
[16:45] <KM0201> Trian3: not sure why that would have happened from a CD
[16:45] <KM0201> !grub2 | Trian3 follow the instructions to reinstall grub
[16:46] <KM0201> auronandace: i'll have to check that out, thanks
[16:47] <Trian3> KM0201:  Ok, so I'd want Grub2, this being Ubuntu 12.04, yes?
[16:47] <KM0201> Trian3: thats affirmative
[16:47] <mobius420> I run a webserver in linux, and I recently had to change ISP's from comcast to qwest. I forwarded the required ports to the webserver on my LAN and the site is visible to users from the WAN. My problem is that I can only see the webserver's served files from outside the LAN. If I try to go to http://www.mywebsite.com from within my LAN then I get a 404
[16:47] <mobius420> hairpin routing?
[16:48] <Trian3> KM0201:  Thank you sir.  I appreciate the help.
[16:49] <mobius420> If I use a proxy, or simply access http://www.mywebsite.com using some other IP  aka from outside my LAN then I see the website no problem
[16:50] <eutheria> what i be a bit mad if i disabled the unity compiz plugin?
[16:50] <truk77> Hi folks. I've got a machine that I did a fresh install of 12.04 on, but moved in a userdir from an older distro. Whenever I log into the migrated account, something hijacks the xorg settings and changes the rez from 1920x1080 to 1024x768. Any idea what would be doing this? Is there a config file I need to root out?
[16:50] <FrozenFire> Can anyone suggest a way to have shortcuts to remote servers quickly accessible in Unity? I'd like to be able to quickly open SFTP resources.
[16:51] <wylde> eutheria: just login using unity 2D if that's what you want :)
[16:51] <KM0201> auronandace: slick little utility... thanks for telling me about that, never heard of it
[16:51] <LukeNukem> FrozenFire, we meet again!
[16:51] <eutheria> wylde, i just want to remove the launcher
[16:51] <eutheria> i like the rest
[16:51] <truk77> 777777.
[16:51] <auronandace> KM0201: no worries, just pity they aren't part of default unity
[16:51] <KM0201> eutheria: as in, completely remove?
[16:51] <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/
[16:52] <eutheria> KM0201, well i've set it to hide, but i figured i don't need it
[16:52] <KM0201> auronandace: yeah, no kidding... i didn't wanna install all the compiz crap, for the unity plugin.
[16:52] <draginx> If I have files like ./*/config/* how can I copy those files to a diff directory AND retain the folder names? (the stars)
[16:52] <eutheria> ok i will accept i can't disable it for the minute
[16:53] <FrozenFire> LukeNukem, Ohaithar.
[16:53] <FrozenFire> :P
[16:53] <eutheria> i liked that in 11.04 that there was a button on the top panel to start the dashboard
[16:53] <LukeNukem> xD
[16:53] <KM0201> eutheria: hmm, i bet there's a way to do that, just not sure.
[16:53] <eutheria> once i have an indicator for everything, what do i need the launcher for?
[16:53] <mobius420> Trian3,  have you resolved your GRUB loader problem yet?
[16:54] <eutheria> i really like the indicators
[16:54] <eutheria> the launcher doesn't look part of the desktop
[16:54]  * KM0201 doesn't care much for indicators
[16:54] <eutheria> you press meta and your UI totally changes
[16:54]  * mobius420 uses a little program called boot repair...works like a charm for rebuilding GRUB after installing windows onto a linux machine
[16:55] <eutheria> you know the amount of screen real estate you get back with unity is awesome
[16:55] <mobius420> I never was able to confidently edit a grub loader config file
[16:55] <eutheria> the scroll bars, global menu, etc
[16:55] <eutheria> i just want to be able to see my menu all the time
[16:55] <mobius420> eutheria,  unity is cool,  but I would make sure to disable the zeitgeist recorder
[16:56]  * mobius420 does not use unity personally 
[16:56] <eutheria> mobius420, i just want to tweak some things! keep the default as seen fit for new users
[16:56] <fidel_> mobius420: why disabling zeitgeist?
[16:56] <fidel_> curious - any technical reasons?
[16:56] <mobius420> does anyone know why I can't see my website from within the same LAN that the webserver is running on?
[16:57] <mobius420> sounds like a router issue
[16:57] <khmerog> hi
[16:57] <fidel_> mobius420: any error-log entry on the apache?
[16:57] <fidel_> mobius420: can you ping the lan/apache server?
[16:58] <alankila> eutheria: I run mostly full screen applications myself. I don't even have the title bar.
[16:58] <mobius420> fidel_,  I can see the website if I use the server LAN ip address
[16:58] <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
[16:58] <mobius420> or if i use an ip from outside the LAN which the server is running on
[16:58] <fidel_> mobius420: then rephrase the problem description ;)
[16:58] <eutheria> aladilas, it is great, i just wish i could see the menu all the time, i hate guessing where menu items might be, it is slow an clumsy
[16:58] <mobius420> I seem to remember someone telling me something about a "hairpin routing" limitation
[16:58] <mobius420> fidel_,  okay here goes :)
[16:59] <Travis-42> Can anyone point me to an updated guide to getting the nouveau open source nvidia drivers working on 12.04? The proprietary drivers crash X-server.
[16:59] <eutheria> and no i don't want to start typing into the hud however useful it might be for noobs
[16:59] <mobius420> fidel_,  I run a webserver in linux, and I recently had to change ISP's from comcast to qwest. I forwarded the required ports to the webserver on my LAN and the site is visible to users from the WAN. My problem is that I can only see the webserver's served files from outside the LAN. If I try to go to http://www.mywebsite.com from within my LAN then I get a 404
[16:59] <mobius420> does that clarify at all?
[16:59] <krababbel> mobius420: not all routers support loopback nat I believe
[17:00] <krababbel> mobius420: some name like that
[17:00] <mobius420> krababbel,  kk
[17:00] <fidel_> mobius420: way better yep
[17:00] <eutheria> mobius420, that is to do with your virtual host entries i bet
[17:00] <eutheria> however a little out of scope for this channel i would imagine
[17:00] <mobius420> eutheria,  how might I edit that file,  and would the file be on the webserver itself?
[17:00] <mobius420> eutheria,   oh right
[17:00] <eutheria> mobius420, that depends on how you configured it
[17:00] <mobius420> well thanks for the information
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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?
[17:04] <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] <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
[17:05] <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] <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
[17:06] <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
[17:07] <FROSK> ciao
[17:09] <bakkerthehacker> krababbel: the xorg.0 is empty and the xorg.8 is dated in april
[17:09] <krababbel> bakkerthehacker can you delete those and reboot?
[17:10] <krababbel> bakkerthehacker: no idea, why it's empty
[17:10] <krababbel> u12: Try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099 ?
[17:11] <eutheria> if i disable the unity compiz plugin, do i lose the alt-tab and the launcher?
[17:12] <bakkerthehacker> krababbel: im on windows and the ext4 drivers arent letting me modify anything
[17:13] <krababbel> bakkerthehacker: sorry, no idea. you can boot Ubuntu into rescue mode and do it.
[17:13] <eutheria> as i would like to get back to a working system after i break everything cause i can't leave settings alone, what should i make a backup of before i screw with compiz?
[17:14] <MiJyn> hello

[17:16] <jey> when installing Google Chrome on Ubuntu, is it not bundled with Adobe Flash?
[17:17] <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] <krababbel> jey: maybe it is only in chrome, but you got chromium
[17:17] <_zion> Sidewinder,  its "sudo fdisk -l" shows all devises thought to share :)
[17:17] <ssfdre38> who has SSL experience with Apache to get an cert installed and working
[17:18] <jey> krababbel: I have chrome stable
[17:19] <MrElendig> chrome ships with flash "embedded"
[17:19] <eutheria> oh that sucks, it also disables the dash and top panel
[17:20] <Sidewinder> _zion, Thank you; now that I see it I vaguely remember using it from time to time but that , obviously, was a while ago. Again, thanks. :)
[17:20] <tuntun> Hi
[17:20]  * Sidewinder Boogies off to run fdisk.
[17:20] <krababbel> eutheria: I think unity is supposed to use compiz. unity2d should be different. gnome-shell doesn't need compiz and is good too.
[17:20] <_zion> Sidewinder, no probs mate we here to help each other :D
[17:20] <Sidewinder> :)
[17:20] <Escherial> do i have an option not to run openjdk on ubuntu 11.04?
[17:21] <MiJyn> hey
[17:21] <eutheria> krababbel, i don't like gnome shell, i like cinnamon, but unity with 2 last tweaks will make me super happy
[17:21] <Escherial> do i have an option not to run openjdk on ubuntu 11.04?
[17:21] <Escherial> ack, sorry, didn't mean to repeat myself
[17:21] <Escherial> i wasn't sure if i was connected earlier
[17:21] <krababbel> eutheria: I see, I'm like gnome-shell a lot :)
[17:22] <MrElendig> Escherial: you can install oracle jre/jdk if you really want to
[17:22] <eutheria> krababbel, for me it is able screen real estate, unity gives me a lot back
[17:22] <MrElendig> Escherial: but it is a pain
[17:22] <aleprovencio> can anyone please tell me how can I disable alt+<something> calling a menu accel for a specific app?
[17:23] <krababbel> eutheria: the menus are gone in unity, yes. Unfortunately not all apps support that. I've had performance bugs with compiz.
[17:23] <Trian3> KM0201:  I've booted from the Ubuntu live CD, but the Boot Repair util is nowhere to be found.  I'm looking in the Software Center to try to install it, but a search there doesn't turn up anything.  How do I install it if I can't find it?
[17:23] <Escherial> MrElendig: ah, thanks; i ask only because this ide i'm using claims that openjdk is highly unsupported :\
[17:23] <Escherial> i didn't notice till today, when i elected to run it from the command line for once and saw that warning
[17:24] <Trian3> How do I install boot repair from a Live CD?
[17:25] <MrElendig> Escherial: use a less crappy ide
[17:25] <MrElendig> Escherial: which are you using btw? eclipse?
[17:25] <blz> Escherial, also, which language are you developing in?
[17:26] <Escherial> MrElendig: no, pycharm; it's kind of a no-name ide, but i'm very fond of it now
[17:26] <Escherial> and in python...i use eclipse as well
[17:26] <MrElendig> pycharm works fine with openjdk7
[17:26] <jey> python ide requires java?
[17:26] <Escherial> ah, ok :) i'll ignore the message, then. jey: yeah, that confused me too, heh
[17:26] <MiJyn> jey lol
[17:26] <MrElendig> there are better ide's for python than pychar though
[17:26] <ssfdre38> can i get some help adding an SSL cert to my apache2 SSL config cause when i get ssl running, its kills my Apache and produces http://paste.ssfdre38.com/10 error
[17:27] <MiJyn> MrElendig, what about Geany?
[17:27] <blz> Escherial, at the risk of giving unsolicited advice, Ninja IDE is really, really cool
[17:27] <Escherial> MrElendig: any specific recommendations? :) i like how pycharm does remote syncing, mostly; a lot of other ides are painful
[17:27] <Pici> Escherial: pycharm is very nice.
[17:27] <Escherial> blz: not unsolicited at all, thanks; i'll take a look at it
[17:27] <Sidewinder> Trian3, I think this is what you're lookin' for: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files
[17:28] <blz> Escherial, and SublimeText2 isn't a full-featured IDE but the extensions system is *awesome* and they have great plugins for remote syncing and such
[17:28] <blz> I also like the way it uses space.  It's very, very simple and visually appealing
[17:28] <UICTamale> +1 for sublimetext2
[17:28] <UICTamale> great column mode support if that's your thing
[17:28] <Trian3> Sidewinder:  Thanks.
[17:28]  * blz brofists UICTamale
[17:28] <MrElendig> MiJyn: geany is not too bad, but the highlihthing/themeing system is a sad joke
[17:29] <blz> UICTamale, column mode you say?  What's that?
[17:29] <Sidewinder> Trian3, The pleasure was all mine. :-)
[17:29] <Chris_0076> hey all, I am trying to map the buttons on my wacom bamboo tablet and when I open the wacom menu in the settings and click on the map buttons menu there are no options just like this: http://www.tanjapetri.net/2012/03/12/wacom-configuration-issues-on-ubuntu-12-04/
[17:29] <MrElendig> MiJyn: syntax highlihgting is provided by the theme itself, for some insane reasons
[17:29] <Escherial> so, ninja ide, sublimetext2, geany...that's a lot to try out :3
[17:29] <Escherial> thanks for all the suggestions, though
[17:29] <UICTamale> blz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6451/true-column-mode-block-selection-and-editing-text-editor-solution
[17:29] <mwallacesd> There is an incident with PAST window (mouse acction) in Ubuntu 12.04... If you copy some file from a directory and try to past that file in another directory using the mouse, the paste windows desn't light the word paste from that window. Anyone else with this incident?
[17:29] <UICTamale> ha, geany is my other favorite.
[17:30] <blz> Escherial, for what it's worth, SublimeText2 has a PPA:  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/sublime-text-2-ubuntu-ppa.html
[17:30] <blz> Escherial, also, be sure to read up on how to enable the package manager on their website or you'll miss out on all the fun
[17:30] <UICTamale> column-mode editing lets you make changes to many lines at once.
[17:30]  * MrElendig prefers vim
[17:31] <blz> UICTamale, interesting.......
[17:31] <UICTamale> i still use vim the most too
[17:31] <MiJyn> MrElendig, yeah, it could be improved, but I like lightweight :D
[17:31] <MiJyn> that's what I used to use to write relinux
[17:31] <MiJyn> I switched to Eclipse later, as my computer got better :P
[17:32] <Pici> !offtopic
[17:32] <UICTamale> you like lightweight, and you use Eclipse?   does not compute..
[17:33] <blz> Pici, with respect, this is about ubuntu.  It's about tools that are available for use in the OS...
[17:33] <Pici> blz: Okay? Its still not a support channel. And you are free to continue the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:33] <georgelappies> mwallacesd, me as well
[17:33] <Pici> er, not a support question.
[17:34] <mwallacesd> Ouch... georgelappies me not...
[17:34] <mwallacesd> =(
[17:34] <georgelappies> mwallacesd, but if you select paste, it still pastes. Only the menu is not highlited
[17:35] <mwallacesd> Yes it is, but still be a incident are you agree georgelappies ???
[17:36] <Dice-Man> i've a problem with firefox
[17:36] <Dice-Man> it crashes with daylimotion
[17:37] <Dice-Man> i tried in #firefox but the channel is rather dead
[17:37] <supernova> can someone tell me which channel to go for JSF
[17:37] <bazhang> !alis | supernova
[17:38] <MrElendig> Dice-Man: start it from a terminal and see if there is any usefull output
[17:39] <gauravgrt1> hey how can i echo display utf-8 symbols on the terminal
[17:39] <gauravgrt1> hey how can i echo utf-8 symbols on the terminal
[17:39] <MrElendig> echo °
[17:39] <MrElendig> there you go
[17:40] <MrElendig> or do you have a unicode codepoint and you want to print that to the terminal?
[17:40] <lrpcuba> hello there fls
[17:40] <lrpcuba> how can i configure a wireless network manually ?
[17:40] <bazhang> !wifi | lrpcuba
[17:40] <lrpcuba> i mean how can i configure manually a wireless network card ?
[17:40] <doktah> can anyone help me with my ubuntu install locking up?
[17:41] <blz> !ask|doktah
[17:41] <krababbel> lrpcuba: What do you mean? Editing interfaces file?
[17:43] <lrpcuba> krababbel: see i  need to setting up a wireless udb network card , fr example , i need to write a static ipv4 address and i dont know how to do that, if i try editing /etc/networking  setting up wlan0 he just dont load
[17:43] <lrpcuba> or work as non public address.
[17:43] <casawyer> I need some help with Ubuntu 12.04  I upgraded to it this past week, when I did my laptop stopped recognizing my headset mic.  I check sound settings and the only mic listed on input is the internal mice with the web cam.
[17:43] <lrpcuba> if i try with dhcp he add an 169 random ip and also not browseable from my iphone
[17:43] <gauravgrt1> MrElendig, : ya...i have the utf-8 values and i wanna echo them on the terminal what is the format to display them.......also i use the echo -e '\u2343' to display the symbols these are utf-16 hex codes i guess
[17:43] <krababbel> lrpcuba: If network manager can't do what you want, you can deinstall it, maybe resolvconf as well
[17:44] <u12> krababbel: i will look into it , thank you.
[17:44] <MrElendig> gauravgrt1: no
[17:44] <MrElendig> gauravgrt1: \u2343 is a unicode codepoint
[17:44] <lrpcuba> krababbel:  network manager ??  mmm i tryed yesterday and he just went nuts
[17:44] <MrElendig> which is something compleatly different from utf-8 :)
[17:44] <Stereocaulon> Got error about not being able to install multi-arch versions of former ia32-libraries. The explanation give by the updater is less then satisfactory. This happens just after updating from 11.10 to 12.04. I need those libs for some outdated programs...
[17:44] <Dice-Man> MrElendig: i use it without any plugins i've desactivated them here the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/974019/
[17:44] <hex20dec> So I'm officially desperate for help with my mail server, I need to setup SPF and secure it somehow. I will pay. Anyone?
[17:44] <Dice-Man> rather bizzare
[17:45] <Dice-Man> is there a way to install a previous version of firefox ?
[17:45] <u12> well , i have tried with Boot Repair .. but it boots to windows and ubuntu is missing.
[17:45] <u12> http://paste.ubuntu.com/973631/
[17:45] <gauravgrt1> MrElendig:can you guide me more on these actually i want to display the currency symbols on the terminal
[17:45] <krababbel> u12: no problem, it is not clear, where you have ubuntu installed. You should generally install grub to dev/sda for instance, not dev/sda1 or some other partition on that drive. Also that drive you install grub to, should be set as first boot drive in BIOSS.
[17:46] <alice> use ubuntu live cd
[17:46] <u12> during installation , i selected to install ubuntu sied by side with windows.
[17:46] <alice> just update-grub on ubuntu and it will do it by itself
[17:46] <krababbel> u12: if windows boots successfully, then just reinstall grub according to the link I gave you. I never used side by side option, I used "other".
[17:47] <lrpcuba> krababbel:  what is the name of network manager from console ?
[17:47] <ironhalik> Hmm, Im getting corrupted screen on nouveau with dual monitors. Any ideas?
[17:47] <georgelappies> mwallacesd, I agree yes
[17:47] <Stereocaulon> ironhalik, what GPU are you using?
[17:47] <krababbel> lrpcuba: Ubuntu is installed with network manager gui in mind. You can remove it, to configure manually.
[17:48] <ironhalik> Stereocaulon: Geforce 8600 GTS
[17:48] <lrpcuba> krababbel:  yes i have found it
[17:48] <Stereocaulon> ironhalik, use safe graphics mode on start and install the propriatary driver from the "restricted drivers"
[17:48] <ironhalik> It works with cloning mode, when I set it to extend desktop, it works until I reboot
[17:49] <krababbel> lrpcuba: don't know the command, it should be at the top panel.
[17:49] <ironhalik> Stereocaulon: Yeah, I installed them, but I get high CPU usage on them :/
[17:49] <ironhalik> Xorg eats up one of my cpu cores
[17:49] <u12> krababbel: alright , i'll check with reinstalling grub.
[17:49] <Stereocaulon> ironhalik, which version did you install?
[17:50] <lrpcuba> krababbel: wpa_supplicant[932]: Failed to initiate AP scan.
[17:50] <ironhalik> Stereocaulon: tried the current in jockey, current updated, and binary 295 from nvidia
[17:50] <UICTamale> should my laptop get extremely hot on ubuntu 12.04?  I get about 6 hours of battery life in windows 7, but about 45 minutes in ubuntu 12.04. Any advice to get the heat down and run-times back would be appreciated.
[17:50] <lrpcuba> krababbel: grrr im stuck
[17:50] <krababbel> lrpcuba: sorry, no idea, don't have wifi here. could be driver issue?
[17:50] <BranicYeti> im having a problem with my ubuntu and my wireless network again. the previous fix doesnt work this time
[17:51] <u12> krababbel: why set BIOS to the driver for grub!
[17:51] <Stereocaulon> ironhalik, I use 295.40 along with my 9600 GT and my cores are running normally.
[17:51] <lrpcuba> NetworkManager: <info>  Unmanaged Device found; state CONNECTED forced.
[17:51] <BranicYeti> UICTamale: i have the same problem. if you get a fix, could you let me know? :)
[17:51] <UICTamale> BranicYeti: I'll shout from the highest mountain I can find. :)
[17:52] <DeathFromAbove> Hey, can someone please help me? (I'm new to Ubuntu, just switched from Windows :P)
[17:52] <BranicYeti> UICTamale: cheers :D
[17:52] <Stereocaulon> ironhalik, hang on, gdb is using 100% of one of my cores.
[17:52] <UICTamale> Battery life is the one reason I can't give up windows at this point. I love ubuntu otherwise.
[17:52] <krababbel> u12: ? grub might get confused, if you drive is different, also it won't load if you don't boot from the drive grub is installed on.
[17:52] <isnnnn> DeathFromAbove: ask your question
[17:52] <hex20dec> So I'm officially desperate for help with my mail server, I need to setup SPF and secure it somehow. I will pay. Anyone?
[17:53] <isnnnn> what mailserver hex20dec ?
[17:53] <ironhalik> Stereocaulon: for me, the problem persists since 11.04
[17:53] <Varsuchi> hex: what mailserver?
[17:53] <u12> krababbel: okay , but does the disk table looks okay .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/973631/
[17:53] <DeathFromAbove> Ahh, :) I'd really like to instal l Tor , and I thought I had, but when I opened Vidalia, it kept closing from an unknown error, not only that, but  I can't seem to access the internet at all :/
[17:54] <Stereocaulon> ironhalik, hmm, strange
[17:54] <BranicYeti> my ubuntu seems to think that my wireless has a wep key, but it has wpa2. when i change it and try to connect, it sets it as a new connection entirely with wep again
[17:54] <casawyer> Can someone help?  I am also pretty new to Ubuntu, installed 10.04 originally on my laptop, but have upgraded/updated to 12.04, all works fine but I lost my headset mic with the last upgrade.  Not sure why?
[17:54] <thomasd> hay any one on?
[17:54] <isnnnn> DeathFromAbove: try #tor
[17:54] <Stereocaulon> Anyone else getting 100% CPU usage used by gdb? See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/+bug/929129
[17:54] <Whitor> Hi all. 12.04 on a thinkpad t510, nvidia quadro video controller, brightness is not controllable with the FN+Home or FN+End keys. Any ideas ? Worked on on the same hardware with 10.04.
[17:54] <hex20dec> isnnnn Varsuchi Well,  it seems Google listed my mail server IP as junk, which it clearly isn't even closely related. 
[17:54] <hex20dec> And as of now, I can't even receive the mail sent from my server to my gmail at all, it is blocked. 
[17:54] <hex20dec> Would you know how to fix that?
[17:54] <DeathFromAbove> isnnnn: What do you mean?
[17:55] <krababbel> u12: looks okay, but it doesn't show if grub is installed
[17:55] <isnnnn> join #tor for tor related questions
[17:55] <u12> BranicYeti: i did tried the other option , but i had to resize the windows drive to Extended
[17:55] <DeathFromAbove> Ahh thanka :)
[17:55] <krababbel> u12: I guess you boot from sda first? Then install grub to /dev/sda
[17:55] <navatwo> Anyone have trouble linking libraries under ubuntu? I can't seem to link to libglib
[17:55] <u12> krababbel: is that Extended
[17:55] <isnnnn> hex20dec: again, what mailserver are you using?
[17:56] <thomasd> I"m going to re-install ubuntu i don't want a version with fancy features i just want a minimum install mainly i want to avoid gnome and the normal gui login
[17:56] <UICTamale> BranicYeti: I just found this.. am trying some of the things on it:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagement/IdentifyingIssues
[17:56] <BranicYeti> u12: huh? youll have to use laymans terms. in a windows user lol
[17:56] <u12> the ubuntu drive sda3 ?
[17:56] <Varsuchi> hex: what mailserver? did you have open relay?
[17:56] <krababbel> u12: no it is /dev/sda in line 3
[17:56] <krababbel> u12: doesn't matter which partition ubuntu is on, the drive matters. Grub should do the rest on installation .
[17:57] <Nemurenai> Hi. Just upgraded to Precise. When mounting my digital camera and browsing , gvfs eats a lot of memory (stopped it at 1.5GB)  - it seems to be gphoto2 doing it - is there another way I can manage the files on my camera, preferable from the command line?
[17:57] <hex20dec> isnnnn Varsuchi postfix and regarding the open relay, I have no clue.
[17:58] <isnnnn> there are enough tutorials on spf and postfix on the internet
[17:58] <llutz> hex20dec: check sites like http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check  if your host is blacklisted somewhere (and why)
[17:58] <u12> krababbel: so , i must install grub to sda , but how to set it to boot from sda ?

[18:00] <hex20dec> llutz: Well, it seems I'm listed on that site on a few databases.
[18:00] <iKlsR> is it recommended to install ubuntu to SD Memory Card?
[18:00] <hex20dec> Varsuchi: Can you help me please, I have no clue what that even means.
[18:00] <rwb> I just updated to 12.04 and my wireless keeps kicking me off.   Auth required  by wireless network... I put password in, I get access for a few seconds (i can ping google) then it kicks me off again...  any ideas?
[18:01] <Varsuchi> hex: google open relay postfix, I just did that and came up with about 10 tutorials.
[18:01] <llutz> it's quite hard to configure postfix as an open relay...
[18:01] <iceroot> Varsuchi: hex20dec never EVER!!! use a openrelay mailserver reachable from outside
[18:02] <Varsuchi> llutz, i wouldnt say hard, if you dont know what an open relay is...
[18:02] <DeathFromAbove> *Sigh* I'm back, sorry, but no-one in the #Tor room was talking
[18:02] <llutz> Varsuchi: default configs prevent that
[18:03] <Varsuchi> hex: test your mailserver here:
[18:03] <Varsuchi> http://www.spamhelp.org/shopenrelay/shopenrelaytest.php
[18:03] <iKlsR> is it recommended to install ubuntu to SD Memory Card?
[18:04] <iKlsR> or can i?

[18:28] <Scunizi> Is there a way to look at what is in an .exe file?

[18:29] <idbentley> exit
[18:29] <Scunizi> Let me restate... what tool(s) do we have available in Ubuntu to look at the contents of a .exe?
[18:30] <krababbel> Scunizi: 7zip maybe, and a hexeditor
[18:30] <fraterm> I think some of the archivers can inspect an .exe if it is a sneakily packaged self extracting zip.
[18:30] <llutz> Scunizi: cat, hexdump, strings... lots more
[18:30] <fraterm> I think some of the archivers can inspect an .exe if it is a sneakily packaged self extracting zip.
[18:30] <Scunizi> llutz: cat will do it?  I had no idea

[18:31] <velcro> hello, what would the best way to bind say right ctrl to 'alt'? i have a small bluetooth multimedia kb that has no alt by default :/ im on 12.04
[18:32] <llutz> Scunizi: what "contents" do you expect to get? an .exe is just a compiled binary file (for dos/win most likely)
[18:32] <linux4u> I have two network cards, why is it when I try to connect to mysql over an ssh tunnel it thinks I am connecting from the second card(on a private ip)  why is this? I even disabled the card and did /etc/init.d/networking restart
[18:32] <linux4u> and it still did the same thing.

[18:35] <johnnyX> Alsa as well as Pulse aren't seeing it
[18:35] <johnnyX> Unless I get a mic jack to USB connector
[18:35] <johnnyX> Which it would look silly cause it would be two connectors to do it
[18:36] <Zoffix_> Man, only in Ubuntu could you end up with fucking Chinese all over the place without asking. I'm moving to other distro, fuck y'all

[18:53] <MirkoKa> I want to give Unity a chance, but I insist on having a decent panel with taskbar, so I add xfce4-panel to the session which works fine. Now I want to get rid of the top Unity panel. How can I stop it from being loaded during session startup? System-wide I tracked it down to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/*Panel.Service*, but ideally I would do that only for specific users. Ideas?

[18:55] <mathias> I have installed a package, and the package works, but the installation (via Ubuntu Software tool or Synaptic) fails. Now there is some unfinished garbage from the package that is activated each time I install ANY package. Can I get rid of that? I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit.

[18:56] <cowboynicka> Check out ##devatan.
[18:56] <ikonia> cowboynicka: who ?
[18:56] <cowboynicka> It's a channel my friends started.
[18:56] <ikonia> cowboynicka: yes, so why are you telling random people in #ubuntu to check it out ?
[18:57] <Sidewinder> mathias, I believe that Synaptic has a "Fix Broken Packages" option that may solve your problem.
[18:57] <mathias> Sidewinder: Will have a look, thanks!
[18:57] <cowboynicka> @ikonia SOrry. It just popped into my head.
[18:57] <mwallacesd> thanx trism.
[18:57] <cowboynicka> Cause I was talking over there.
[18:57] <mathias> Sidewinder: The ironic thing is that the package works. Or at least the parts that I can see.
[18:57] <Sidewinder> mathias, You'll need to shut down any other Package Managers, though.
[18:57] <ikonia> cowboynicka: please don't spam your channel in any ubuntu/kubuntu related channels
[18:58] <cowboynicka> Sorry about that. :(
[18:58] <mathias> Sidewinder: Yup.
[18:58] <ikonia> cowboynicka: not a problem
[18:58] <infecto> can anyone help me out with some permissioning and sftp setup?

[18:59] <sushil> hi; i have ubuntu 12.04 and have dual monitor setup. both the monitors are detected fine, but i cant seem to use the second monitor; Basically if i drag a window in the second monitor it maximizes it back in the first monitor
[18:59] <mathias> Sidewinder: That command did not help.
[19:00] <mathias> Sidewinder: :59 *** takenori QUIT Ping timeout: 245 seconds
[19:00] <mathias> > /leave
[19:00] <Sidewinder> mathias, That's about as far as I can go; terribly sorry I can't trouble-shoot further. :(
[19:00] <mathias> Sidewinder: Thanks, I appreciate the help.
[19:01] <sushil> maybe not, its just chrome doing it that way
[19:01] <mathias> Sidewinder: The error is very hard to google for.
[19:01] <mathias> Sidewinder: Hard to describe the problem in a clear way.
[19:01] <infecto> Got ssh setup for sftp only. Have the users group chrootdirectory as /home/%u, with root:root as the owner of the users folder ie /home/user1. With it setup like this the user cannot create a new directory under their root login. If I chown user1:user1 /home/user1 then I cannot log in
[19:01] <MirkoKa> mathias: try uninstalling the package with apt-get line then re install it again with apt-get, pastebin both outputs
[19:02] <MirkoKa> mathias: s/line//
[19:02] <mathias> MirkoKa: I have done it several times. I can trigger the errors and pastebin it here.
[19:03] <mathias> MirkoKa: Here is one: http://pastebin.com/jNzMK8Pa
[19:03] <mathias> MirkoKa: ... and here's another one: http://pastebin.com/YDEX0KTy
[19:04] <mathias> MirkoKa: Again, the package (icaclient, it's a Citrix client) works for my purposes, so I do NOT want to uninstall it.
[19:05] <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 :)
[19:06] <MirkoKa> mathias: when you purged it, was the package manager ok again?
[19:06] <mathias> MirkoKa: yes
[19:07] <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] <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.
[19:08] <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.
[19:09] <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.
[19:10] <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.
[19:11] <mathias> MirkoKa: What I would like to know is where this post-install script lies, so I can change it/disable it/whatever.
[19:12] <mongo> mathias: /var/lib/dpkg/info IIRC
[19:12] <maximo> ciao
[19:13] <mathias> mongo: Yes! Some interesting looking files there :)
[19:13] <Sidewinder> !it | maximo
[19:13] <Sidewinder> !list > maximo
[19:14] <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
[19:15] <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
[19:16] <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.
[19:17] <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?
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <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?
[19:20] <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
[19:21] <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.
[19:22] <SnowmanX11> Hi Guys
[19:22] <_dolmen_> Sidewinder, do you have a pointer to a bug or a document?
[19:22] <mathias> Sidewinder: Thanks to you too.

[19:23] <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] <Stereocaulon> david__, oyur => your
[19:23] <ebarch> hmm...any idea why setting my /etc/security/limits.conf and editing /etc/pam.d/common-session doesn't allow my open files to go above 1024 after a reboot?
[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
[19:24] <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
[19:25] <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'
[19:26] <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] <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
[19:27] <Stereocaulon> x_: These detailed settings can probably found in the gnome config editor.
[19:27] <x_> ubottu, did you tell to me?
[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
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <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] <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?
[19:30] <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?
[19:31] <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] <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
[19:32] <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] <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.
[19:33] <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
[19:34] <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?
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <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.
[19:37] <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'
[19:38] <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.
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <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?
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <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 ?
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <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 ?
[19:45] <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] <BlueProtoman> Anyone?  Jockey-GTK?
[19:45] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, no, the skype protocol is closed-source
[19:45] <x_> Stereocaulon, ok thanks, looks like it won't work
[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.
[19:46] <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] <MiJyn> pratz, could you try to remove mintmenu?
[19:46] <Floyd42> simkin: i've said all i have to to whom i have to.  stop trolling and educate yourself.
[19:46] <totesmuhgoats> hi friends
[19:47] <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.
[19:48] <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
[19:49] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <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] <david__> there, thx
[19:51] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Good thing you don't know where I work for as a designer ;)
[19:52] <MiJyn> xskydevilx where?
[19:52] <x_> Is there anyone who use chromium on cinnamon here?
[19:52] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, It starts with Y, and it's with an E.
[19:52] <MiJyn> x_ you have a problem?
[19:52] <xskydevilx> *ends
[19:52] <vespakoen> Hey guys, I probably have the strangest question of the day. 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
[19:53] <mathias> Sidewinder: Found the problem. A bug in the postinsall script.
[19:53] <x_> MiJyn, close button is on left side
[19:53] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Sh.. Don't tell anyone.. I am supposed to be anonymous here.
[19:53] <krababbel> vespakoen: not possible I believe
[19:53] <greensimian> Using Empathy, does anyone know how to turn of the channel notifications?  So many people coming and going
[19:53] <xskydevilx> :P
[19:53] <zvacet> totesmuhgoats: good  :)
[19:53] <MiJyn> xskydevilx yeah, anonymous... a whole IRC log of people can see that :P
[19:53] <x_> MiJyn, i want to move it right side
[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] <mguy> I'm trying to install 12.04 from the 64-bit CD I just downloaded. I have two hard drives in my system (sda 750gb and sdb 250gb), disk utility recognizes both drives but the actual installer won't let me install to sda
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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] <Pici> !offtopic | xskydevilx
[19:55] <x_> MiJyn, there is a space between tabs and titles
[19:55] <kanapka> Floyd42 & MyJin: google chrome's flash works fine, thanks a lot for your help guys. for some reason I thought I can't get chrome for linux, only chromium
[19:55] <Stereocaulon> pratz, Are you only seeing Japanese text when you have selected English language?!
[19:55] <MiJyn> x_ weird... chromeless title bars are not supposed to be affected by a window manager
[19:55] <MiJyn> xskydevilx lol same
[19:55] <salvatore> italian
[19:55] <xskydevilx> Pici, Sorry.
[19:55] <Floyd42> kanapka: you're welcome.  glad it's working.
[19:56] <Pici> !it | salvatore
[19:56] <x_> MiJyn, do you use cinnamon too?
[19:56] <pratz> Stereocaulon: firs t of all I only have english language when i log out
[19:56] <salvatore> tank
[19:56] <pratz> Stereocaulon: and is there no way to reset the fonts or language ?
[19:56] <MiJyn> x_ no, I use unity (but I should try cinnamon soon)
[19:57] <azertyui> bonsoir
[19:57] <azertyui> hehehe
[19:57] <azertyui> hello there
[19:57] <x_> MiJyn, try it! it is fast and cool :D
[19:57] <vespakoen> try xmonad =D it is fast and cooler
[19:57] <MiJyn> x_ fast? I'll use it then!
[19:57] <Stereocaulon> pratz, fonts should be a problem, language however...To my knowledge the unity packages come standard with English.
[19:58] <infecto> is there anyway to have sftp only access for a user and allow them to create a folder in their root directory?
[19:58] <krababbel> I see Ubuntu uses a low quality sound resampler by default. Pulse usually uses a medium quality resampler.
[19:58] <johnnyonflame> how can I disable a joystick mapped to /dev/input/js0?
[19:58] <Talisman> moin
[19:59] <pratz> Stereocaulon: yes might be fonts is the problem
[19:59] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, can't you just disable it in the game using it?
[19:59] <xtremox> hi
[19:59] <AnonymousPenguin> Ive got no sound through my speakers only headphones in Ubuntu 12.04 Ive checked alsamixer, updated, and have gone through Ubuntu's troublshooting procedure and have uploaded results to  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0e3a9312543b6e1cdeb05c58bc20ba9feb2d0c1a    I see the alsa versions are slightly different where it says it should be the same, and I am running 3.2.0-24, I found lots of sound probs on google but noth
[19:59] <AnonymousPenguin> ing that has resolved it yet.
[19:59] <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] <xtremox> how to configure my isdb-t tv digital usb card?

[19:59] <johnnyonflame> MiJyn, Not that simple, the apps I want to use it in doesn't allow that
[20:00] <Talisman> is anyone else also having problems with vmware building the vmnet module on 12.04?  It's complaining about : /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae/arch/x86/include/asm/highmem.h:61:6: note: expected ‘struct page *’ but argument is of type ‘const struct <anonymous>’
[20:00] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, which apps?
[20:00] <pratz> Stereocaulon: ok will try that
[20:00] <johnnyonflame> mostly games and stuff
[20:00] <Stereocaulon> pratz, if I'm not mistaken, ubuntu will look which pakackages may be missing during that reinistall
[20:00] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: Pulse is on top of alsa, are you sure, you have checked sound settings?
[20:00] <johnnyonflame> a couple wine ones, some random native ones
[20:00] <johnnyonflame> and a few projects o' mine
[20:00] <pratz> Stereocaulon: hope for the best dude
[20:01] <Talisman> I haven't been able to compile this module since the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04
[20:01] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, well, if you make the projects, why don't you add an option to disable it?
[20:01] <Talisman> hence, I cannot run vmplayer
[20:01] <pratz> Stereocaulon: i reinstalled it should i restart now ?
[20:01] <johnnyonflame> MiJyn, the projects are not the only ones affected
[20:01] <Stereocaulon> pratz, reinstall should not be neccesary, a simple logoff/ logon should suffice
[20:02] <xtremox> my card is a siano sms nova b isdb-t usb card me-tv is not works :(
[20:02] <Stereocaulon> pratz, reboot should not be neccesary, a simple logoff/ logon should suffice
[20:02] <pratz> Stereocaulon: ok
[20:02] <AnonymousPenguin> krababbel  I added pulse yesterday to try to make sure someing wasnt off.
[20:02] <AnonymousPenguin> sorry about the flood
[20:02] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, hmm... can you unplug it?
[20:03] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: why added? it is there by default.
[20:03] <spaceneedle> When I click an icon off the launcher--the windows opens but it's in the lower right corner. I want it to open up in the middle of the screen or at the top corner.
[20:03] <johnnyonflame> MiJyn, no, I can't, it's an accelerometer built in my laptop's HD
[20:03] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: did you look in sound settings, output device?
[20:03] <johnnyonflame> that's the whole problem
[20:03] <AnonymousPenguin> the procedure i used was at help.ubuntu .com I check to see if there is any thing different
[20:03] <johnnyonflame> it is detecting the accelerometer as a joystick and causing all sorts of havok
[20:03] <pratz> Stereocaulon: no dude say thing
[20:04] <Roberto> Question: http://i.imgur.com/a7IH2.jpg   -- I don't need no source code so I can uncheck all those PPAs ?
[20:04] <x_> i am using cinnamon. is it ok if i completely remove unity?
[20:04] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame let me look up what an accelerometer is :P
[20:04] <pratz> Stereocaulon: i guess something wrong in fonts
[20:04] <mathias> I have installed 12.04 64 bit and it looks like Unity "steals" keys like M-b in gnome-terminal for me.
[20:04] <pratz> Stereocaulon: any idea what should i do now ?
[20:04] <greensimian> Anyone have issues connecting to Windows SMB shares after upgrading to perverted pangolin?
[20:05] <johnnyonflame> MiJyn, basically a sensor that tells the device's angle
[20:05] <greensimian> I just get prompted for my password over and over and over
[20:05] <Stereocaulon> pratz, you mean: same thing? Could you please copy paste some of the text, so I can read it to make sure it's Japanese or gibberish. If it's Gibberish it could be a font problem, otherwise the problem lies elsewhere
[20:05] <johnnyonflame> I pitch my notebook forward, it goes forward
[20:05] <Roberto> x_ why u must remove Unity ?
[20:05] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, interesting that a laptop should have that
[20:05] <greensimian> I think maybe my samba got borked in the upgrade
[20:05] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, I don't think I can help you then, as I have no experience with that. Sorry!
[20:05] <x_> Roberto, i don't want to take its updates
[20:06] <LinuxMonkey> MiJyn: in hard drive speak the accelermeter is a device that will detect rapid changes in speed and park the drive to prevent damage to the hard drive in event of a fall
[20:06] <AnonymousPenguin> i ran pavucontrol and it told me i had to apt get first it shows a soound bar like its there but muted
[20:06] <johnnyonflame> well, it is mainly used to detect frantic movements so that the HDD is stopped, preventing further damaging
[20:06] <greensimian> greensimian:
[20:06] <johnnyonflame> but IT SHOULD NOT be detected as a gamepad, I wonder who added this to ubuntu ._.
[20:06] <greensimian> johnnyonflame: Are you using your computer on a trampoline?
[20:06] <MiJyn> LinuxMonkey, ah ok, I see
[20:06] <Roberto> x_ you might like it...one day
[20:06] <AnonymousPenguin> krababbel yes I tried analog and digital  to see if that was it
[20:07] <MiJyn> greensimian LOL
[20:07] <johnnyonflame> greensimian, No, and this is why IT IS NOT turned off, but it PREVENTS damage
[20:07] <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?
[20:07] <JonathanD> MiJyn: my laptop also has one.
[20:07] <pratz> Stereocaulon: wtf even google is opens in that language now
[20:08] <Stereocaulon> pratz, please copy-paste some of that "language", so I can make sure.
[20:08] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, what software did you install? Ubuntu does not have it detected as a joystick by default
[20:08] <johnnyonflame> I did not install anything
[20:08] <Stereocaulon> pratz, this might help you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132347/ubuntu-12-04-gnome-classic-language-turned-into-chinese-how-do-i-change-it-back
[20:08] <johnnyonflame> It used to do it on my clean ubuntu 12.04 install
[20:08] <sekt0r> anyone familiar with glftpd installation
[20:08] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, what version of ubuntu, and is it clean install or upgrade?
[20:08] <johnnyonflame> clean 12.04 xubuntu install
[20:08] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: I'd look if your hardware is supported, maybe it needs special parameters in the default.pa file. See if your soundchip is actually recognized correctly.
[20:09] <Gosset_Inofensiu> Hello everybody, does anyone have Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.98 working properly on Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome Classic????????
[20:09] <pratz> Stereocaulon: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/41/screenshotfrom201205080.png/
[20:09] <pratz> Stereocaulon: i think this is font issue
[20:09] <Gosset_Inofensiu> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Audio%2BVideo%2BImage%2BText%2BISO+Convert?content=92533
[20:10] <drdozer> hi - I'm still unable to get my ubuntu system to boot from the hd
[20:10] <drdozer> it hangs after grub but before any logs are touched
[20:10] <drdozer> no network is brought up
[20:10] <drdozer> ctrl+alt+delete reboots
[20:10] <pratz> Stereocaulon: this might be font issue because from what i can see is some are chagned and some are not
[20:11] <LinuxMonkey> johnnyonflame:  you ver plan on using a joystick?
[20:11] <Stereocaulon> pratz, no, it's definitely no font issue. the text you are showing me in the screenshot is Japanese, so it cannot be a font issue. Did you try that link I've sent you? It's about someone struggling to switch their system from Chinese to US English and that might really help you.
[20:11] <AnonymousPenguin> krababbel just google supported hardware for it ?
[20:11] <johnnyonflame> LinuxMonkey, yeah I'm trying to use a joystick
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> but it keeps getting detected as js1
[20:12] <bobk> what kind of life left for 10.04
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> and the accel as js0
[20:12] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, where is the js1 file?
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> /dev/input/js1
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> and /dev/input/js0
[20:12] <Stereocaulon> pratz, correction, it's Chinese, just like in the link I've sent you.
[20:12] <LinuxMonkey> perfect johnnyonflame  gimme a minute ill check if I have something for ya
[20:12] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: yes, for alsa and pulse. they have a wiki too, and irc channels
[20:12] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, ok, try removing those files
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> thanks alot LinuxMonkey
[20:13] <Talisman> no takers on my issue?
[20:13] <pratz> Stereocaulon: can you please send me the link again
[20:13] <pratz> Stereocaulon: because all fonts are occuping more space
[20:13] <bobk> what kind of life left for 10.04?
[20:13] <pratz> and the screen is full on fonts
[20:13] <pratz> Stereocaulon: please send me the link again
[20:14] <Talisman> bobk, afaik, it's 18 months support for an LTS version
[20:14] <Stereocaulon> pratz, just compare these: 出口, でぐち <= you should see a lot of text with similar forms like this if it were Japanese.
[20:14] <Talisman> so you're already on 2 years
[20:14] <AnonymousPenguin> Krababbel  Ok , thanks for the help
[20:14] <Stereocaulon> pratz, this might help you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132347/ubuntu-12-04-gnome-classic-language-turned-into-chinese-how-do-i-change-it-back
[20:14] <bobk> so what happen to 10.04 after that?
[20:14] <Talisman> bobk, idk, honestly
[20:14] <bobk> what version are u using
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <dlentz> !lucid | bobk
[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
[20:17] <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] <Stereocaulon> bobk, running 10.04 without updates is not safe after a while.
[20:18] <bobk> hmmmm so how many of u are happy with this 12.04?
[20:18] <MiJyn> bobk, I certainly am :D
[20:19] <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.
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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?.
[20:23] <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] <MajorM> i got this "Failed to fetch http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libproxy/libproxy1_0.4.7-0ubuntu4_i386.deb  403  Forbidden"
[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
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <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] <Talisman> bobk, I really don't know...
[20:25] <bobk> i don't mind messing with this stuff but the poor X-windows users i'm trying to convert aren't going to like the messing around with it:(
[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
[20:26] <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] <drdozer> MiJyn: it is an 11.04 bootable usb drive made yesterday
[20:26] <Stereocaulon> pratz_, np, those things can be frustrating. I just got my JP Input back online after having to remove and reinstall the entire ibus system...
[20:26] <azertyui> hello there
[20:26] <mneptok> MiJyn: it's not an upgrade error. try to dial back the "i hate upgrades" stuff a bit, please.
[20:26] <MiJyn> drdozer, try installing it
[20:26] <nintet> i get no sound in VMM
[20:27] <azertyui> what are the program require for compiling a package ?
[20:27] <MiJyn> nintet, VMM?
[20:27] <LinuxMonkey> johnnyonflame: this is weirder by the second. I dont even see your accelerometer or joystick in the list
[20:27] <nintet> no sound in guest OS
[20:27] <MiJyn> nintet, oh, Virtual Machine?
[20:27] <drdozer> MiJyn: I don't really want to - I'm trying to repair my primary hd that has stopped booting and don't want to loose all my data on that disk
[20:27] <Stereocaulon> nintet, what guest OS are you using?
[20:27] <mneptok> drdozer: boot from live media and fsck the USB install.
[20:27] <nintet> kqemu winXP
[20:27] <nintet> driver is installed
[20:27] <azertyui> what are the program require for compiling a package ?
[20:27] <guntbert> !compile | azertyui
[20:27] <nintet> i can hear a slight noise when a sound plays, but it is just line level noise
[20:28] <drdozer> mneptok: ok, so I need to make a bootable usb drive to repair my bootable usb drive that I made to repair my hd?
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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] <nintet> must i do something in the host OS to get sound to play through the host sound stack?
[20:29] <guntbert> !info build-essential | azertyui
[20:29] <MiJyn> bbl
[20:29] <nintet> how do i connect alsa to the VM?
[20:30] <azertyui> i installed all that essential package
[20:30] <azertyui> but still got some errror
[20:30] <azertyui> i don't know what to do ?
[20:30] <azertyui> this is the error what i got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/974392/
[20:30] <Izinucs> I'm going through the update to 12.04 and it appears stuck "Downloading Dropbox.... 54%" with 86% done on the upgrade.. If it doesn't "move" in the next 30 minutes what are my options?
[20:30] <guntbert> !enter | azertyui
[20:31] <guntbert> azertyui: what are you trying to compile?
[20:31] <azertyui> yes to comôme
[20:31] <drdozer> mneptok: this *is* USB flash media that has the broken /etc/mtab - so should I give up on it and just re-make this bootable usb thumb drive, rather than trying to fix /etc/mtab?
[20:31] <azertyui> compile
[20:31] <azertyui> yes
[20:31] <MirkoKa> azertyui: sudo apt-get build-dep within the package's source directory
[20:31] <Stereocaulon> nintet, please pastebin the output of : "aplay -l" on the host system. And also try pacmd dump
[20:32] <guntbert> azertyui: *what* do you want to compile?
[20:33] <azertyui> customize vcl
[20:33] <azertyui> vlc
[20:33] <nintet> http://paste.ubuntu.com/974408/
[20:33] <MirkoKa> drdozer: no, it's not the mtab which is broken, but the flash media (bad sector most probably)
[20:33] <joren> Anyone happen to know where I might find a karmic repo?
[20:33] <krababbel> mguy: true
[20:34] <guntbert> azertyui: vlc is in the repos, no need to compile it yourself
[20:34] <drdozer> MirkoKa: ok, I will build a new usb pendrive
[20:34] <Stereocaulon> nintet. hmm, no virtual hardware there.
[20:34] <nintet> is there a community doc?
[20:34] <nintet> because i thought it would work out of the box
[20:35] <OerHeks> joren http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[20:35] <Roberto> Question: http://i.imgur.com/a7IH2.jpg   -- I don't need no source code so I can uncheck all those PPAs ?
[20:35] <Joykiller> Grazie a tutti finalmente sono riuscito ad installare ubuntu!!

[20:35] <joren> OerHeks, thanks
[20:35] <Stereocaulon> nintet, for alsa? Sure, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
[20:36] <Joykiller> Ok!no problem! Thanks!!
[20:36] <drdozer> MirkoKa: any idea how I can try to fix my hd boot?
[20:36] <drdozer> that's why I was booting from a pendrive in the first place
[20:36] <OerHeks> joren also the adress for updates, see howto edit sourceslist >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1190101
[20:36] <MirkoKa> drdozer: what problem does your hdd has?
[20:37] <jconnolly> anyone got love for a compiz issue?  I've got no window decorations (close/minimize/maximize buttons etc) https://gist.github.com/ba37588af18704c6b143
[20:37] <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
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <azertyui> do you get what i mean i got a customize vlc that's why i need to compile it myself guntbert

[20:42] <LinuxMonkey> johnnyonflame: for the life of me i cannot find the bit of code you need to put in your x config file to disable js0  but I remember thats how we had disabled my friends issue a ways back
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <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] <jconnolly> hm.  somebody had the same problem as me three weeks ago with no love.  http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/04/14/%23ubuntu+1.txt
[20:44] <MirkoKa> azertyui: btw, if you're unfamilar with the process, don't use the source from the VLC website, but the one from the ubuntu repo. "sudo apt-get source vlc" after having enabled the source repos
[20:45] <azertyui> listen man MirkoKa
[20:45] <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
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <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] <tiago> Hi everyone!
[20:50] <wylde> would sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update correct an issue like -- dpkg: error: duplicate file trigger interest for filename `/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules' and package `libgtk2.0-0:amd64' -- ?
[20:50] <azertyui> well what are the step are you asking to do ? MirkoKa
[20:50] <fraterm> "Working as (perhaps poorly or unexpectedly or non-intuitively) Designed"
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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
[20:53] <tiago> alankila: -/+ buffers/cache:        991       2827
[20:54] <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)
[20:55] <geekwani> ?
[20:55] <azertyui> i m sorry i forget my english
[20:55] <Stereocaulon> geekwani, normally you would choose /dev/sda
[20:55] <tiago> alankila: so you think that it is normal? I have skype, pidgin, clementine and chromim opened.
[20:55] <MiJyn> hello
[20:55] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: she says that it says "connection established" but when she tries to browse something in Firefox it doesn't connect for her
[20:55] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: modem
[20:56] <neo____> how to disable receiving a MAGIC PACKET ?
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <Stereocaulon> diegoviola, could be the gateway, please pastebin sudo ifconfig
[20:57] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: ok i will tell her to do that
[20:57] <SDr> hey #ubuntu,
[20:58] <geekwani> i ask because, if for any reason i remove/reinstall ubuntu, my laptop doesnt get spoiled (last time, my windows recovery partittion kept asking for grub to boot)
[20:58] <SDr> how can I check the runtime memory usage of an executed command?
[20:58] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: thanks for the help
[20:58] <alankila> tiago: *shrug* yes
[20:59] <Stereocaulon> diegoviola, I've been on an ADSL helpdesk for 7 years. If you want me to, I can help you on PM
[20:59] <mneptok> SDr: top/htop
[21:00] <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.
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <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] <Paulo39> hi guys. i'm having a really annoying problem with fonts in firefox. as you can see here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1890161/Temp/firefoxfont.png the fonts don't render correctly. do you know what can i do?
[21:02]  * APoulos is away: Away
[21:02] <Stereocaulon> diegoviola, she can contact me on this channel after half an hour. I'm taking a shower now, after that, I have one hour left.
[21:03] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: ok thanks
[21:03] <geekwani> i proceeded with /dev/sdaX :P yes but that would make the laptop, pen drive dependent
[21:03] <geekwani> thx btw :)
[21:04] <Pimo> all libs are in /usr/libs? i am searching libSDL
[21:04] <Pimo> */usr/lib
[21:04] <LinuxMonkey> Paulo39: is yout text being zoomed by any chance?
[21:06] <Paulo39> LinuxMonkey, hum... i didn't think so, but i tried to do Ctrl - rigth now and, aparently, the fonts are fine!
[21:07] <LinuxMonkey> :)
[21:07] <Paulo39> but i'm having this problem so much time ago... do the firefox preserv the zoom in  the pages? maybe i zoomed it a month ago and i forgot to dezoomed it
[21:07] <LinuxMonkey> yeah Paulo39 ive seen it do that when i zoom sometimes. a simple zoom reset fixes it for me
[21:07] <neo____> how to disable receiving a MAGIC PACKET ?
[21:08] <nintet> pasuspend: command not found =(
[21:08] <endra> Hello
[21:08] <nintet> does anyone have sound working in a VM?
[21:09] <Paulo39> Yes! A zoom reset seems to work too! LinuxMonkey thanks a lot! i have this problem so long and i never found a solution on the web (and i was so simple!)
[21:09] <iceroot> !anyone | nintet
[21:10] <nintet> well i was told that sound would work out of the box in VMs with ubuntu 12
[21:10] <nintet> and it does not
[21:10] <iceroot> nintet: only with guest-addons (imo)
[21:10] <endra> How can I benchmark my cpu/hdd/memory/whatever to find out what the bottleneck in performance is?
[21:10] <Kanerix> Paulo39, ctrl-mousewheel
[21:11] <nintet> iceroot, like the driver for the virtual coundcard? it is installed
[21:11] <Kanerix> nintet, depends on what your sound hardware is, methinks
[21:11] <nintet> Stereocaulon told me that there is a bug in Pulse Audio that does not allow virtmanager to use alsa
[21:11] <nintet> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-08/msg03325.html
[21:12] <nintet> the reason i switched from CentOS was because SElinux does not allow the VMM to access alsa

[21:13] <MirkoKa> I want to give Unity a chance, but I insist on having a decent panel with taskbar, so I add xfce4-panel to the session which works fine. Now I want to get rid of the top Unity panel. How can I stop it from being loaded during session startup? System-wide I tracked it down to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/*Panel.Service*, but ideally I would do that only for specific users. Ideas?
[21:14] <MirkoKa> Alternatively, How can I intercept the DBUS startup and provide my own Panel.Service.service DBUS service (or any DBUS service for the matter)?
[21:19] <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?
[21:20] <daveo> l
[21:20] <daveo> does anyone know any ebooks groups on here
[21:20] <MirkoKa> aleprovencio: i'm not sure (actually I don't think) that this is possible. do you have a specific app in mind?
[21:21] <krababbel> aleprovencio: you want to disable a key accelerator of a specific app? never heard you could.
[21:21] <Lorra> Hey everybody! Today I got into this very frustrating issue. I have Ubuntu 12.04 and when I type my password in at the login screen and it enter or click on the arrow...I get back to the login screen again (password is correct, I am able to log in via the command-line login). Does anybody have a clue on how to overcome that?
[21:21] <inashdeen> hi there, i need a help. initially while running a live ubuntu 12.04 cd, i manage to get the wireless running on my system. however, when i installed the OS, the system now report device not ready (firmware missing). what should i do?
[21:22] <Jordan_U> Lorra: Try using the Unity2D or failsafe GNOME session, my guess is that compiz is crashing at login.
[21:23] <Lorra> Jordan_U, done, I've gone through all possible sessions I have
[21:23] <Lorra> Jordan_U, doesn't make a differnce
[21:23] <Lorra> *difference
[21:23] <Jordan_U> Lorra: Have you tried logging in as the guest user?
[21:23] <Lorra> Jordan_U, no, why?
[21:24] <Jordan_U> Lorra: In case the problem is triggered by configuration files in your home directory.
[21:24] <Lorra> Jordan_U,I'll try that
[21:25] <Lorra> Jordan_U: thank you!
[21:25] <clh> hi all, i'm needing to increase the size of my / partition using a rescue iso for server 64bit.  The server is running in VMWare fusion, which I don't think matters.  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] <Jordan_U> Lorra: You're welcome.
[21:25] <aleprovencio> MirkoKa, yes xchat
[21:25] <aleprovencio> MirkoKa, actually xchat-gnome
[21:26] <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] <totesmuhgoots> hi friends, i am using xubuntu 10.10 and wondering why aplay -L only shows my devices after I have logged into xfce. If I access the computer by ssh and leave it waiting at the login screen I cannot access alsa devices
[21:27] <altin> how can I add only the hhome directory for an existing user ?
[21:27] <altin>  besides mkdir command
[21:27] <Jordan_U> !eol | totesmuhgoots
[21:27] <aleprovencio> krababbel, i know i can change some menu accels by turning to false can_change_accel properties, but i'd like to know how to disable all of them
[21:27] <clh> xangua: ok, thanks
[21:27] <altin> can anyone help me plz ?
[21:27] <totesmuhgoots> Jordan_U, so, is this a bug because I am not running 12.04? or is it this way by design?
[21:28] <clh> xangua: is the desktop version suitable as a live CD?  I don't see an option for just "Live CD"
[21:29] <Jordan_U> clh: Yes, the Ubuntu Desktop CD is also a LiveCD.
[21:29] <clh> Jordan_U: thanks
[21:29] <Jordan_U> clh: You're welcome.
[21:29] <hellknight> anyone here using Ubuntu on AMD Fusion?
[21:31] <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?
[21:32] <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] <totesmuhgoots> df -h will show you disk usage
[21:33] <totesmuhgoots> free -m will show you your memory usage
[21:33] <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] <hellknight> cat /proc/cpuinfo the info about CPU
[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
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <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] <Izinucs> Jordan_U: nope.. actually doing this on the kubuntu desktop .. but I have both desktops installed (same boot - just a toggle)
[21:35] <ironhalik> hmm, how is AMD llano support doing in Ubuntu?
[21:35] <hellknight> ironhalik, I've been asking the same question
[21:35] <ironhalik> huh, true :>
[21:36] <hellknight> Izinucs, check ps -e
[21:36] <Jordan_U> Izinucs: Sorry, my comment was meant for iandalton.
[21:36] <hanning> i just did some research on that llano issue
[21:36] <hanning> it seems that hw accelerated video is possible
[21:36] <Jordan_U> iandalton: 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).
[21:36] <hanning> but flash isn't
[21:36] <iandalton> Jordan_U: Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down work, but the ones I assigned to particuler workspaces, Ctrl-1/2/3/4/5, don't
[21:37] <iandalton> hellknight: http://www.sharpprogrammer.com/2007/03/useless-use-of-kill-9.html
[21:37] <hellknight> hanning, don't care about the flash. I just want XBMC to decode those 1080p rips
[21:37] <Izinucs> hellknight: that found it.. errrr.. killed now.. hopefully the update will continue normally
[21:37] <iandalton> Izinucs: see my comment to hellknight
[21:37] <irv> what version ubuntu for a laptop that doesn't support PAE?
[21:37] <hanning> there is xvba in xbmc working now
[21:37] <hanning> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116996
[21:37] <irv> it's centrino pentium M
[21:38] <hellknight> iandalton, thanks man..

[21:39] <metallico> DigiDaz_, anything interesting in auth.log?
[21:39] <hellknight> Earlier, the ATI card used to give me headaches with every damn distro. So I have no idea about it now. I've migrated to NVIDIA
[21:39] <Izinucs> iandalton: got it.. too late..
[21:39] <Jordan_U> irv: I believe that Lubuntu should still work.
[21:40] <hellknight> Is there something like VDPAU for ATI?
[21:41] <DigiDaz_> No, its really strange, its only suddenly started happening but across multiple boxes, I first noticed one night when a scheduled backup to a server using ssh failed. The logs look fine except that it takes ages for the login to happen, with default settings the login just times out. A few people on Linode seem to have had a few problems and an admin there said its something to do with pam_unix
[21:42] <DigiDaz_> The first message to appear after the long wait is a pam one
[21:43] <Stereocaulon> DigiDaz_, can't you find anything in the logs just before that pam prompt?
[21:43] <iandalton> Now if only I knew where to look to debug my keyboard shortcuts not working :/
[21:43] <DigiDaz_> I'll do a login now and pastebin the log
[21:44] <terinjokes> I have a server that needs some triage
[21:44] <Vooloo> I just added a program to /usr/local/bin .. how do I update ubuntus registry or whatever so I can launch it with gnome do, instead of the old binary that is in /usr/bin/ ?
[21:44] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, what are your keyboard shortcuts bound to? Gnome, X or xkb?
[21:44] <gauravgrt1> hey someone accidently removed nvidia drivers from my 12.04 now i am unable to get into my account to reinstall the drivers ...what can i do???
[21:44] <terinjokes> apt-get upgrade wants to remove libc-bin
[21:45] <gauravgrt1> it's urgent can someone help
[21:45] <Stereocaulon> gauravgrt1, can you still start a readable terminal?
[21:45] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: GNOME Shell
[21:45] <gauravgrt1> no what command shud i use to do that...
[21:46] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, you should be able to find the settings using gconf-editor then
[21:46] <Jordan_U> gauravgrt1: ctrl+alt+F1, or hold shift during boot and select the recovery mode entry from the grub menu.
[21:46] <iandalton> Vooloo: such programs rely on desktop entries http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
[21:47] <Jordan_U> gauravgrt1: Then run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak
[21:47] <terinjokes> i was upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 and it failed, and not sure what to do
[21:47] <gauravgrt1> Jordan_U, :also will reinstalling the nvidea fix my problem...
[21:47] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: I can set the keybinding through the control panel, it just doesn't actually /work/
[21:47] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, did you upgrade or this a clean install?
[21:47] <iandalton> "Switch to workspace 1" is set to Ctrl-1
[21:47] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: clean
[21:48] <hever> hello. after an upgrade my wlan stopped working. It seems to be related that ndiswrapper somehow stopped working. modprobe ndiswrapper gives me FATAL: Moule niswrapper not found. As I think something went wrong during the installation, can you tell me which package does containt the ndiswrapper module?
[21:48] <trism> iandalton: you will need to use dconf-editor until bug 965921 is fixed
[21:48] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, check to see if there are any extra modifier keys defined
[21:49] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, ubottu is a nice bot, what? :-)
[21:49] <mayfive> Hi all; after logon ubuntu 12.04LTS just goes to blank screen.  nVidia 6150 LE graphic - will they fix that?
[21:50] <gpeart_> is there any difference with iptables  using -m conntrack --cstate with -m state --state?
[21:50] <iandalton> trism: thanks!
[21:50] <Simkin> i just upgraded ubuntu on the proxy server
[21:50] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: indeed
[21:50] <Resistance> gpeart_:  some systems dont have the conntrack module up (VPSes, for instance, not all have the conntrack module compatibility)
[21:50] <Simkin> it switched to squid3 from 2.x i suppose
[21:50] <Simkin> and it lost all the config files etc.. royally messed things up
[21:51] <Blah1> hey all.  i'm trying to create an ubuntu installer usb using the following instructions:   http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[21:51] <Resistance> gpeart_:  those do the same thing, but with different kernel modules for iptables
[21:51] <Simkin> why can't squid be upgraded properly
[21:51] <Blah1> however, after issuing the dd command, it sits there forever
[21:51] <Blah1> i've been waiting an hour.   if i use /dev/rdisk1 instead of /dev/disk1 it finishes fast but then the disk isn't recognized as a bootable medium
[21:52] <gpeart_> Resistance, thank you so much. is there a way I can configure for how long packets should remain in the state table ?
[21:52] <Resistance> gpeart_:  i'm not certain, you may want to wait for a response from someone more knowledgeable about that
[21:53] <dontknow> hi
[21:53] <dontknow> i installed gnome shell
[21:54] <dontknow> how can i install gnome shell extensions?
[21:54] <gpeart_> understood, thank you one more time
[21:54] <Stereocaulon> !enter | dontknow
[21:54] <gpeart_> dontknow sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[21:54] <iandalton> dontknow: http://extensions.gnome.org
[21:54] <Stereocaulon> dontknow, what "extensions" are you referring to?
[21:54] <owenll> dontknow: install gnome- tweak tool and go to extension.gnome.org
[21:55] <iandalton> owenll: dontknow doesn't need gnome-tweak-tool for that; the site have built in extension management
[21:55] <owenll> typo extensions.gnome.org
[21:55] <dontknow> owenll, Stereocaulon, extensions.gnome.org says your gnome is not new
[21:55] <owenll> iandalton: it's very handy
[21:55] <irv> gnubie: thanks :]
[21:55] <irv> jordan: lubuntu?
[21:55] <eutheria> does anyone know a method to make the global menu always visible at the top?
[21:56] <phibxr> eutheria, plant your mouse cursor there and never move it. that's the only one I've found. it really should be an option. :)
[21:56] <iandalton> owenll: but not for the task dontknow is asking about. you can't even uninstall extensions from g-t-t
[21:57] <eutheria> phibxr, yes it should, i hate guessing where menu options might be
[21:57] <Jordan_U> eutheria: Pressing option should show the menu as well, though still not permanently.
[21:58] <dontknow> owenll, i see, the problem was in chromium. i can install extensions directly in extensions page :D
[21:58] <Stereocaulon> dontknow, it seems that this extensions site only caters for those who use the latest and the greatest Gnome 3.2.
[21:58] <nintet> what is the package for pasuspend?
[21:58] <dontknow> Stereocaulon, i can install them now :D
[21:58] <eutheria> this is my last complaint about unity, i would say unity is now better than gnome shell and cinnamon
[21:58] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: the latest and greatest is GNOME 3.4. What are you using, 3.0?
[21:58] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, I wouldn't know, I don't use GNOME.
[21:59] <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
[22:00] <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
[22:01] <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
[22:02] <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,
[22:03] <gauravgrt1> Floyd42:hey someone accidently removed my nvidia drivers from my computer and now i can't even log into my own account
[22:04] <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
[22:05] <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]  * Talisman is pushing gentoo and my colleague is pushing centOS
[22:05] <Jordan_U> !ot
[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.
[22:06] <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] <gauravgrt1> iandalton: i did but why can't i login through the login screen
[22:06] <iandalton> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=irssi+ignore+join
[22:06] <Talisman> eutheria, rofl
[22:06] <paulmaidment> question regarding crash of lightdm, am I in the right place?
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <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] <iandalton> bak
[22:08] <paulmaidment> It's very intermittent
[22:09] <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
[22:10] <paulmaidment> @Stereocaulon, I have the output from dmesg and syslog
[22:10] <gauravgrt1> Jordan_U, :no i still can't boot in
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <Stereocaulon> !enter | paulmaidment
[22:11] <iandalton> the command you quoted will move xorg.conf to a backup file
[22:11] <paulmaidment> sorry about the multi line guys!
[22:12] <Floyd42> paulmaidment: hmm.  I know someone who had the same problem but he had ati drivers.  reinstalling the ati drivers worked for him.
 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
[22:13] <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
[22:14] <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
[22:15] <Stereocaulon> willfoo, do any of the other Fn keys work normally?
[22:15] <willfoo> yes, that one for bight are working
 I've already installed lm-sensors, how do i run it? Thanks!
[22:15] <willfoo> or also hibernate does also working
[22:16] <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?
[22:17] <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?
 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.
[22:18] <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 ..
[22:19] <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"
[22:20] <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
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> Danio: try disabling ipv6
 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.
[22:22] <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
 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.
[22:23] <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?
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <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?
[22:26] <daninoz_> how can i delete icons from the applications menu in gnome-shell ?
[22:26] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :gnash-common,libboost-iostram 1.46.1,libboost-program-options1.46.1 and libboost thread 1.46.1
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> nintet: what are you using to virtualize?
[22:27] <nintet> virt-manager
 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
[22:28] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: none of those sound like they'd affect your video driver, hmm
[22:28] <iandalton> I dunno
 I guess all is fine
[22:28] <tiago> it says
[22:28] <H3Hlp> Whats the channel of backtrack?
[22:28] <H3Hlp> ??
[22:29] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :i ran the history command and checked
[22:29] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | H3Hlp
 Core 0: +43.0ºC (high = +80, critic +90)
[22:29] <H3Hlp> Lol it says me that Im Banned
[22:29] <Stereocaulon> nintet, I think ActionParsnip means the guest OS...
[22:29] <H3Hlp> But im not banned
[22:29] <nintet> XP
 and the Core2 is +45 only
[22:29] <gormika> eta
[22:30] <jrib> H3Hlp: because you're root.  Login as a regular user and try again
[22:30] <Floyd42> tiago: sounds fine, within the safe temp .. easily
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> nintet: no, what are you using to virtualize? vmware? virtualbox?
[22:30] <H3Hlp> But I'm in backtrack I can't change my user
[22:30] <H3Hlp> Can I add a user?
[22:30] <nintet> the command line is "virt-manager"
[22:30] <altin> anyone knows where did they move this file  http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/download/osshChroot-4.2p1.diff
[22:30] <jrib> H3Hlp: yes, create a new user
[22:30] <altin> or does any of you have it ?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> H3Hlp: backtrack isn't supported here
 Yes, thanks man, people like you make Ubuntu better everyday
[22:31] <nintet> i assume it is a frontend for qemu with the kqemu extensions
[22:31] <H3Hlp> How?  useradd ''user''
[22:31] <joren> Hey, so I just updated to 10.04, and when I do a do-release-upgrade, it tells me nothing's available. Anyone know why that might be? Isn't 12.04 an lts?

[22:31] <ActionParsnip> jrib: backtrack isn't supported here dude
[22:32] <Floyd42> BrB
[22:32] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :are there any logs that i can see in ubuntu...to get the error??
[22:32] <Resistance> !backtrack > jrib
 One last question! Which one of the following do you recommend? NVIDIA accelarated graphics driver (version current) or the post-release updates (version currente-updates)?
[22:32] <hanning> !mint
[22:32] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: ~/.xsession-errors, maybe?
[22:32] <hanning> no mint on freenode? :(
[22:32] <nintet> i am using qemu.
[22:32] <mirak> does USB cable quality matters ?
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> hanning: no, its a totally different channel on a totally different server
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> nintet: have you asked in the qemu channel?
[22:33] <Stereocaulon> hanning, the full name would be linuxmint, maybe that is the name of the channel?
[22:33] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :also i read somewhere about the problem with the xauthority file in home folder can i remove it??
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <nintet> otherwise i would try a different host OS
[22:34] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: but it's usually safe to "mv somefile somefile.bak" temporarily
[22:34] <daftykins> tridentfish_: boot over the network? netboot?
[22:34] <sm1> nintet: you can use alis to search for channels using keywords .. /msg alis list *linux-mint* .. see /msg alis help list
[22:35] <wylde> !ltsp | tridentfish_  is that what you mean?
[22:35] <Stereocaulon> mirak, depends on what you are trying to connect to it. a wonky cable can affect both reliability and transfer speed
[22:35] <tridentfish_> like the systems they have at schools but just for home use.
[22:35] <Floyd42> tiago: to be honest, i have very little knowledge on Nvidia drivers.  I've never used them.  But I'm sure someone more knowledgeble here will be able to help..
[22:36] <wylde> tridentfish_: check out the links the bot posted above :)
[22:36] <Stereocaulon> tridentfish_, I don't know what you have at your school, but ltsp is widely used if the solution is linux based.
[22:37] <Stereocaulon> tridentfish_, please eleborate on the systems at your school so that we might guess better ;-)
 Ok! Thank you again! : )
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> nintet: worth a try, different guest OS, just to test
[22:38] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :got it.... the .xsession-errors showed that there was some error with some line in .profile...
[22:38] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :thanks for your help!!!!
[22:38] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: since it wasn't your xorg.conf, I'd recommend moving it back in place
[22:38] <iandalton> you're welcome
[22:38] <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...
[22:39] <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.
 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?
 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?
 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
[22:43] <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.
[22:44] <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?
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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!
[22:47] <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!
[22:48] <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.
[22:49] <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] <paddy> -/
[22:49] <mohd> Stereocaulon: hey , it's a toshiba satellite M-100
[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?
[22:50] <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
[22:51] <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] <DigiDaz_> ActionParsnip: How do you find your LTSP? Does it restrict you much?
[22:51] <Stereocaulon> mohd, you might be the victim of this "bug": https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/995185
[22:51] <Guest59487> i want to be able to to what i can do now on windows mirc iandalton
[22:52] <iandalton> Guest59487: what are you doing on windows mirc right now?
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> DigiDaz_: I don't have an LTSP.....
[22:52] <Guest59487> running a host company
[22:52] <Guest59487> i dont use url chat iandalton
[22:52] <Guest59487> i gotta use mirc
[22:52] <Stereocaulon> mohd, hehe, I see now that you are the reporter of that bug.
[22:52] <iandalton> mohd: bug 965921
[22:53] <DigiDaz_> Sorry, ActionParsnip, it was Stereocaulon
[22:53] <iandalton> Guest59487: what's url chat?
[22:53] <Guest59487> using a website to get to a chat iandalton
[22:53] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :ya...it's just the login screen that is problemetic
[22:53] <Guest59487> eg www.urhost.domain/chat
[22:53] <Guest59487> that rubbish
[22:53] <dontknow> is there anyone here use gnome shell?
[22:53] <iandalton> Guest59487: you don't have to use mirc to avoid that
[22:53] <Guest59487> what else can i use ? iandalton
[22:53] <iandalton> what features of mirc do you use?
[22:54] <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] <bluebirdie> hi
[22:54] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :ok,,,,
[22:55] <bluebirdie> is it safe to connect an ipod to ubuntu?
[22:55] <iandalton> dontknow: just gnome-shell
[22:55] <bluebirdie> is there special software to transfer songs?
[22:55] <wylde> !ipod | bluebirdie
[22:56] <dontknow> iandalton, ok. what gtk windows theme do you use?
[22:56] <bluebirdie> thanks wylde
[22:56] <Stereocaulon> bluebirdie, well, it runs closed software, so you'll never know :-P On a more serious note: yes, it is safe to do as long as you only access your music and no other files if you can get to them
[22:56] <DigiDaz_> I'm thinking more of multimedai, I used LTSP about 7 years ago in a primary school, I haven't implemented it since, it did the job then for what we needed it for. 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] <mohd> iandalton: i look into it , although its not a shortcuts issue , its the multimedia keys on the the laptop.
[22:56] <iandalton> dontknow: Adwaita
[22:56] <mohd> Stereocaulon: sary reported a bug yes.
[22:57] <iandalton> mohd: that's still covered by the shortcut keys setup, AFAIK
[22:57] <Guest59487> i dont kno iandalton all i kno is it does what i need
[22:57] <SATop> how to disable paid software in ubuntu software center  ?
[22:57] <Stereocaulon> DigiDaz_, multimedia is very Network-intensive, unless you are talking about background rendering. Pixel-graphics are poorly suited for such an environment.
[22:57] <mohd> iandalton: i wasn't aware of that .. where should i look?
[22:58] <iandalton> mohd: as that bug report says, dconf
[22:58] <SATop> why are there no categories for free and paid software in ubuntu software center ?
[22:58] <Guest59487> im a newbie to ubuntu desktop i can use centos easy on a server or debain or ubuntu server but as a OS for myself on computer im new to it
[22:58] <iandalton> Guest59487: well if you don't know what features you're looking for, how can you choose one IRC client over another? X-Chat is nice for newbies.
[22:59] <Guest59487> i want one that has admin /server features on it iandalton
[22:59] <Guest59487> sorry looking for one that that has *
[22:59] <Stereocaulon> Guest59487, X-chat has some capabilities for that, but they are a bit cumbersome and far from complete.
[23:00] <iandalton> Guest59487: it probably has that
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> Guest59487: install the desktop OS and use it, there is enough admin on there todo what you need
[23:00] <Guest59487> ty Stereocaulon
[23:00] <Guest59487> okies ActionParsnip
[23:00] <Stereocaulon> Guest59487, np
[23:00] <dpb_> SATop: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47997/is-it-possible-to-remove-the-commercial-programs-section-from-the-software-cente
[23:01] <SATop> dpb i have a look
[23:02] <Guest59487> decided ill use irssi
[23:03] <SATop> dpb that is way to much work for me it should be a default option even google play market has separate categories
[23:03] <mohd> Stereocaulon: do you know the link for the bug that sary reported?
[23:03] <Stereocaulon> mohd, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/995185
[23:04] <Stereocaulon> Heading off to bed now. Thanks for the nice atmosphere everyone :-)
[23:05] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: didn't you post that link before?
[23:05] <iandalton> and it turned out mohd was the submitter?
[23:05] <mohd> Stereocaulon: thank you
[23:05] <dpb_> SATop: you can file bugs/feature requests against ubuntu-software-center.  https://launchpad.net/software-center.  Sorry, I'm not a developer on that project or anything.
[23:05] <iandalton> oh nvm
[23:06] <Stereocaulon> iandalton,  mohd, yes I did, didn't I. Must be getting too late for me...Yawn, off to bed...
[23:07] <nintet> ok, now i get network farts which make anything on the internet or local lan unreachable... network recovers in about 3 or 4 minutes
[23:07] <nintet> is that a new fact of life in 12.04?
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> nintet: try disabling ipv6 if you don't use it
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> nintet: when the network drops, run:  dmesg | tail      the output may help
[23:09] <mohd> i run dconf-editor .. looking at org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings and org.gnome.mutter.keybindings .. i don't see what is that got got to do with the multimedia keys!
[23:09] <nintet> well there are no ipv6 routers here, so i just ste the method to "ignore" correct?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> nintet: no, it will still be attempted to be used, disabling it can help
[23:11] <jubei_> I'd like to know if its possible to have an indicator applet for xchat on ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-shell, classic, no effects?
[23:12] <jubei_> rephrase: I'd like to know if anyone has a working indicator applet for xchat on ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-shell, classic, no effects? or similar solution.
[23:13] <xangua> !info xchat-gnome-indicator | jubei_
[23:15] <jubei_> xangua, thanks, if only i substituted "gnome shell" for "indicator applet" in my google searches!

[23:19] <cristian> hi
[23:20] <mohd> hey
[23:21] <IntuitiveNipple> mohd: Have you tried 'toshset' with it?  http://schwieters.org/toshset/
[23:24] <mohd> IntuitiveNipple: hi there , no i haven't .. i'll look into it.
[23:24] <mohd> thank you :)
[23:27] <IntuitiveNipple> mohd: I'm watching your bug report too ... I may re-open it this week and we can progress your issue there. I have found other users of the M100 report previous versions of Ubuntu work with the M100.
[23:27] <linuxuz3r> so quiet in here
[23:27] <linuxuz3r> lol
[23:27] <PhotoJim> I'm not being offered an upgrade to precise (12.04LTS) from lucid (10.04LTS).  if I tell Update Manager to show all upgrade versions, it wants to upgrade to 10.10 but I'd rather do an LTS-to-LTS upgrade.  am I missing something.
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> PhotoJim: youo won't until 12.04.1 is out
[23:28] <PhotoJim> ActionParsnip: oh, okay.  so this is normal behaviour. :)
[23:28] <xangua> PhotoJim: open the preferences from the update manager and change the preferences to upgrade to only LTS versions
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> PhotoJim: indeed, you can force the upgrade if you want
[23:28] <Daekdroom> PhotoJim, It is still possible to do the upgrade (although there's a reason it's not offered)
[23:29] <xangua> ActionParsnip: didn't knew one had to wait to upgrade from lts to lts
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> xangua: yeah its to check all is ok with the upgrade and stuff
[23:29] <PhotoJim> Daekdroom: it's not critical.  it's a netbook and the data stick I use when I travel to the US (on T-Mobile US) isn't supported.  but I can still do EDGE and it's not bad.  I can be patient if there are issues.
[23:29] <IntuitiveNipple> PhotoJim: From the Precise release notes "It is recommended that users running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wait for the 12.04.1 LTS point release, scheduled for July, before upgrading. (988941)"  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#PrecisePangolin.2BAC8-ReleaseNotes.2BAC8-CommonInfrastructure-1.Upgrades
[23:30] <PhotoJim> IntuitiveNipple: Much appreciated.
[23:30] <PhotoJim> Daekdroom: thanks for the info.
[23:31] <mohd> IntuitiveNipple: thank you very much i appreciate it .. am new to all of this , but am learning and i can get use to it.
[23:31] <Rand1> Hey Folks, I just installed ubuntu for the first time on this computer.  The audio doesnt work.  I tried installing pulse audio, but I'm a noob and I'm worried i might make things worse than better.
[23:31] <Taev> my upgrade to natty narwhale locked up about 3/4ths of the way through the actual install process, how can I resume the upgrade?
[23:32] <IntuitiveNipple> mohd: I think your bug will be with "linux" but let me sort that out
[23:32] <Taev> the new kernel wont boot, and booting under "previous linux versions" has no graphics configuration
[23:32] <themoebius> I had a server stop responding so I rebooted it and now mdstat shows the raid doing a resync. But all devices status is up and working fine. The volume seems to be writeable. Is it safe to continue using it as normal?
[23:32] <klaatu1> Anyone here familiar with not borking EFI booting for Macs?  I found an article with scary notes (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChathttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChathttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat), but the disk image listed doesn't seem to have a cognate for 12.04.
[23:33] <klaatu1> Taev: can you log in at all, even command line?
[23:33] <Taev> yeah
[23:33] <Taev> i just cant launch kdm/gdm
[23:33] <yell0w> how can i recover some .txt files that i just /bin/rm ?
[23:34] <klaatu1> I think there was an apt-get resume command that might help you out.
[23:34] <Taev> well id be deeply grateful since my system is pretty useless at the moment
[23:35] <IntuitiveNipple> themoebius: mdadm man-page says its okay to use during a resync
[23:35] <yell0w> how can i recover some .txt files that i just /bin/rm ?
[23:35] <totesmuhgoats> yell0w: what filesystem?
[23:35] <yell0w> totesmuhgoats: ext4
[23:35] <totesmuhgoats> first make sure you are not writing anything to that filesystem
[23:35] <Taev> i tried apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:36] <klaatu1> No luck?
[23:36] <Taev> and it seems to have continued from the right point
[23:36] <yell0w> totesmuhgoats: and ?
[23:36] <Taev> ty
[23:36] <klaatu1> Blind leading the blind!
[23:36] <kaizoku> What is with packages like "head" and "xserver-xorg-video-cyrix". Aptitude reports them as "State: not a real package", but other packages depend on them and they exist in `apt-cache pkgnames` output
[23:36] <klaatu1> ;->
[23:36] <totesmuhgoats> yell0w: been a while since i did this, looking it up now
[23:37] <totesmuhgoats> yell0w: there is a tool you can use called extundelete apparently, but i've never used it
[23:37] <klaatu1> No takers on EFI and dual-booting Macs, though?
[23:37] <yell0w> totesmuhgoats: thank you. i looked up scalpel and foremost but they recover pics, etc... not txt files :(
[23:37] <IntuitiveNipple> Taev: Have you tried sudo do-release-upgrade (it should/might pick up where things went wrong) ?
[23:37] <totesmuhgoats> but it looks much simpler than what I went through back when I had to do it
[23:37] <Taev> nah i did su  then apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:37] <ucstaa> how old is the mac? the old EFI mac minis had a lot of problems dual booting
[23:37] <Taev> and it worked perfectly
[23:37] <Taev> but ty
[23:38] <klaatu1> It's a mid-2009 13" MBP
[23:38] <klaatu1> Relatively simple; one graphics card.
[23:38] <IntuitiveNipple> kaizoku: They are "virtual" packages, do not contain anything
[23:38] <kaizoku> they aren't virtual packages though
[23:39] <kaizoku> apache2 is a virtual package
[23:39] <kaizoku> but `aptitude show apache2` still gives info
[23:39] <kaizoku> and it tells you what packages provide apache2
[23:39] <kaizoku> and an actual .deb exists for virtual packages
[23:40] <IntuitiveNipple> yell0w: Have you tried "photorec" ? Despite its name it recovers text files
[23:40] <kaizoku> no such package exists for head or xserver-xorg-cyrix
[23:40] <yell0w> IntuitiveNipple: really ?
[23:40] <yell0w> IntuitiveNipple: hold on then
[23:40] <rypervenche> photorec is what you want
[23:40] <rypervenche> yell0w: It will fine a crapton of text files and without the names probably.
[23:40] <IntuitiveNipple> yell0w: It is part of the testdisk suite
[23:41] <PLAYFUN> Hey, what can i use to run a OS in a OS?
[23:41] <rypervenche> yell0w: I would immediately stop using the disk and start using a live CD.
[23:41] <Taev> virtual box
[23:41] <totesmuhgoats> PLAYFUN: virtual machine software, qemu or virtualbox are free
[23:41] <[LinuxFan]> ubuntu 10.04 virtual terminal set green fonts
[23:41] <Taev> VMware
[23:41] <totesmuhgoats> there are non free ones like vmware
[23:41] <kaizoku> qemu
[23:41] <wylde> !virtualbox | PLAYFUN
[23:42] <wylde> !kvm | PLAYFUN  also see:
[23:43] <yell0w> rypervenche: it's in /home
[23:43] <rypervenche> yell0w: Doesn't matter.
[23:43] <yell0w> rypervenche: erhm how to do make photorec look for whatever's deleted in a folder ?
[23:43] <PLAYFUN> YES it in the Ubuntu software center
[23:43] <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.
[23:44] <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.
 YES it in the Ubuntu software center
 YES it in the Ubuntu software center
[23:44] <yell0w> rypervenche: i know i know i forgot where i was
[23:44] <yell0w> :~(
[23:44] <zykotic10> AeSix: i've heard that nvidia and ati proprietary drivers don't like being installed on the same system, good luck.
[23:45] <klaatu1> So, one more try: nobody familiar with how to keep the installer from overwriting my EFI partition and borking a 2009 MacBookPro?
[23:45] <wylde> PLAYFUN: ? I know *they* are.
[23:45] <AeSix> zykotic10 - it's crap like that which I don't really need to be told. Thank you though.
[23:45] <KrizOne> Hi guys, im running unbuntu server and ive just installed vnc4server, is anyone able to tell me where the config file is? I cant find it XD
[23:45] <PLAYFUN> what kind of groups are on XChat?
[23:45] <rypervenche> yell0w: You'll be more careful next time I'm sure :)
[23:46] <wylde> !ot | PLAYFUN
[23:46] <yell0w> rypervenche: normally rm is alias to move stuff to ~/.trash, but stupid me /bin/rm this time
[23:47] <sirriffsalot> Newly installed (30 min ago) ubuntu 12.04 freezes on bootup where lots of [OK] messages come, and on top of that the screen goes from black to the white text every 5 or so seconds...
[23:47] <wylde> KrizOne:  'man vnc4server'?
[23:47] <pakattack> Anyone know what happened to actionparsnip
[23:47] <pakattack> ?
[23:48] <virhilo> hi
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <Taev> gdm or kdm?
[23:51] <DarwinSurvivor> pakattack: nobody is going to be able to troubleshoot an error they haven't read.
[23:51] <pakattack> Ummm....so I was running the commands from http://paste.ubuntu.com/974643/ and I get errors for the command in line 15
[23:51] <wylde> !patience | pakattack
[23:52] <Guest46832> is it possible to play games like gta on ubuntu using wine?
[23:52] <renode> is the gparted iso compatable for liveusb?
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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.
[23:55] <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/
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <wylde> pakattack: ...and the error? .. I did say we need the error didn't I?
[23:57] <pakattack> I can't pastebin my computer is messed up to the point where if I try to do something in terminal trhough ubuntu I get a black screen with white text. I can't even use any programs cuz then I get an error report
[23:58] <DarwinSurvivor> pakattack: judging by that script, you are trying to fix a broken package manager, am I correct?
[23:58] <Guest46832> also, i am new to ubuntu how do i learn how to install stuff using the terminal easy?
[23:58] <DarwinSurvivor> !bash | Guest46832
[23:59] <wylde> !manual | Guest46832 :)
[23:59] <DarwinSurvivor> !apt | Guest46832
[23:59] <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?
