| wylde | obviously* | 00:02 |
| pakattack | Ok so my original problem was that my computer randomly went to a black screen with white text while I was using it. When I restarted one of my user accounts wasn't usable. Then I got a rd icon in the corner saying something about brokencount >0 and then I tried to use software update, which wasn't working, apt-get upgrade/update bothe failed | 00:02 |
| mohd | there other files are .. xkbcomp.txt , lsinput.log .. but the last one is empty. | 00:02 |
| pakattack | ActionParsnip gave me that script and when I told him about this error that was comming up he left | 00:03 |
| wylde | pakattack: is that computer connected to the internat? (silly question but it has to be asked). | 00:04 |
| wylde | internet* | 00:04 |

| Escherial | how does unity decide when a program in the launcher is actually running? | 00:07 |
| Escherial | also, where should the .desktop be located? | 00:08 |
| bibic682 | I just installed 11.10...unity thing will be a while in coming to me natural.....should I also upgrade to 12.04 ? Loved my gnome desktop | 00:09 |
| cypher-neo | bibic682, 12.04 also uses Unity and does it better than 11.10 did in my opinion. | 00:10 |
| bibic682 | cool.....except I have trouble finding a minimized web page from firefox | 00:11 |
| Escherial | what are the big differences in unity between 11.10 and 12.04? i'm considering upgrading to 12.04, but have to do some housework to get there | 00:11 |
| Escherial | wondering if it's worth it | 00:11 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | How do I set the resolution to a higher resolution in ubunt. On Windows XP on the same computer I can get 1024 by 768 but in ubuntu it won't show up on the list | 00:11 |
| cypher-neo | Escherial, HUD is the biggest Unity change in 12.04. | 00:11 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | I tried doing a xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 but it doesn't recognize vga1 | 00:11 |
| krababbel | How should I create a trash directory on other partiotions? Should permissions be 777? | 00:11 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | How do I see what monitors are supported | 00:12 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | Thanks | 00:12 |
| krababbel | I read the sticky bit is important and it should be named /.Trash | 00:12 |
| i3luefire | how can i transfer large numbers of files from one remote server to my home server quickly with only cli tools? | 00:12 |
| cypher-neo | Escherial, Also holding down Super key in 12.04 brings up a Shortcut overlay | 00:12 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | Typing in Xandar by itself doesn't show me which output device my monitor is configured under | 00:12 |
| pakattack | Ok I am back. Btw I am in the root shell in recovery becuz barely anything is actually working in ubuntu | 00:12 |
| zykotic10 | i3luefire: rsync or scp maybe? | 00:12 |
| oldwzd | NeedlinuxHelp: xrandr -q | 00:12 |
| Escherial | how about bug fixes? does it seem more stable than the previous version of unity? | 00:12 |
| cypher-neo | Escherial, System menus have been moved under the user menu and are easier to access. And there is a new program in System Settings... called Privacy. | 00:13 |
| pakattack | DarwinSurvivor: Ok I am back. Btw I am in the root shell in recovery becuz barely anything is actually working in ubuntu | 00:13 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | Is it Screen 0 | 00:13 |
| i3luefire | scp is a nogo. i already tried it. WAY to SLOW. zykotic10 | 00:13 |
| cypher-neo | Escherial, Privacy is used to filter what the Dash menu displays, so if you have hidden files that you want to stay hidden... | 00:13 |
| Escherial | cypher-neo: ah, that's kind of neat :) | 00:13 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | it doesn't tell me the name of the output device | 00:14 |
| === chico_formal38 is now known as boy38 | ||
| cypher-neo | Escherial, There have been a lot of small upgrades between 11.10 and 12.04 that have finally matured Unity to the point where it's a very nice UI. | 00:14 |
| pakattack | wylde DarwinSurvivor u guys got anything? | 00:14 |
| Escherial | cypher-neo: well, hopefully once i resize my WUBI partition i'll have enough free space to install it and give it a spin :) | 00:15 |
| oldwzd | NeedlinuxHelp: what driver you using? | 00:15 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | thanks, it's default | 00:15 |
| Escherial | (haven't switched over to a dedicated dual-boot since i have no optical drive nor spare pen drive to make bootable) | 00:15 |
| cypher-neo | pakattack, What happened that nothing is wotking? | 00:15 |
| wylde | pakattack: at this point you probably need to weed out any extra entries you have in /etc/apt/sources.list (http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/) MAY help you put together a usable sources.list. | 00:16 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | Now when I type in xrandr --output default -mode 1024x768 it says that the mode needs to be added | 00:16 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | or that it can't find the mode. But when I type in xrandr it shows up on the list (I added it) | 00:17 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | how do I correctly add it to the list so that I can select it? | 00:17 |
| pakattack | I don't know, so I was just using chromium and then out of no where I got a black screen with some white text, I rebooted and found that a user account kept doing that. Then in the other one there is apperantly something wrong with the package manager | 00:17 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | it shows up at the bottom as 1024x768 (0x166) 64.6MHz (though it should be 60?) | 00:18 |
| pakattack | wylde: sorry for being a noob but how do I do that? | 00:18 |
| NeedlinuxHelp | oldwzd, how do I know if I'm using the correct drivers? | 00:18 |

It looks like my swap partition is sitting at the end of my /dev/sda1, then the 30 extra GB I need to use is after it .. how do I move the swap to after the unallocated disk space, then tell GParted to expand the partition to take up the additional 30 GB? | 00:29 |
| Manuelpsk | ok :( | 00:29 |
| xangua | DarwinSurvivor: and you just send us people that only use bad words... | 00:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | clh: If you are comfortable updating your /etc/fstab, the easiest is probably just to delete the swap, move stuff around, then re-create it | 00:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Guest96819: are you on 11.10 or 12.04? | 00:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Guest96819: sorr, wrong guest! | 00:31 |

| Belial` | one more question, is 5.10 the final version of unity that will stay in 12.04 repos? or will they push new versions now and again since it's an lts? | 00:37 |
| pakattack | Yeah I m going to do something like that. Thank god I don't too much stuff | 00:37 |

| daftykins | craigbass1976: try "cp -r /home/craig" - i see nothing in 'man cp' so i'm not surprised at there being no obvious answer. if you've got graphical access on that box, why not open nautilus, enable hidden files then copy over graphically / tar the files then send? | 00:40 |
| ubuntutest314 | Hi all. Big prob here... I was moving files from an esata ntfs drive to my system drive running 12.04 (and ext3fs I think) ... the system locked up (hard!) during the move, and after a reboot my partition table is GONE! All zeros ... (mostly) ... is there anything I can do? I'm logged in using a live cd right now. fdisk shows no partition data, even in e(x)tended mode. any ideas ? hope ? | 00:40 |
| tsukasa_ | DarwinSurvivor, i'm kickstarting it soon and am seeing if anyone is interested or wants to discuss | 00:40 |
| craigbass1976 | daftykins, it's just the idea... I'm stubborn and wanted to do it cli. the rsync doesn't seem to be workign any better | 00:40 |
| tsukasa_ | DarwinSurvivor, open source software too | 00:41 |
| delac | does Classic use gtk2 or gtk3 themes? | 00:41 |

| ubuntutest314 | since I was moving the files... they are no longer on the source ... though ntfs is crappy and I might be able to undelete them | 00:43 |

| craigbass1976 | daftykins, ahh. I was wrong. I was in the target directory, and ran a rsync -a ~/* . which didn't work. I then went into the source directory, and ran rsync -a ./ new/directory/ and things seem to have moved properly. Maybe I'm missing something, but those two commands look to me like the paths are essentially the same. Anyone else? | 00:45 |

| DarwinSurvivor | pakattack: no | 00:52 |
| XStreamX | •wylde• It was a 1TB disk I had in my windows 7 machine for storage. I added it to my ubuntu server machine. | 00:52 |
| pakattack | Ok thnx | 00:52 |
| ClientAlive | do they mean from the host system which kvm is installed on or from something that was installed? Restarting the system (and having to log in again) is not equivalent? | 00:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pakattack: it was designed to make upgrading via full reinstall easier, but is VERY useful for recovery | 00:52 |

| Guest32151 | but i can run yahoo messenger ? | 00:53 |
| pakattack | Thnx guys ill let u guys know how it goes | 00:53 |
| wylde | XStreamX: ok, you're on windows then. So if you see it in my computer then you made a samba share. | 00:53 |
| wylde | !samba | XStreamX | 00:53 |
| ubottu | XStreamX: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 00:53 |
| XStreamX | I can access samba through webmin | 00:54 |
| XStreamX | But the drive is not showing as a selectable share. | 00:54 |
| wylde | XStreamX: I don't have any windows computers(well a tiny stripped out windows VM to run my lame printer) so I don't use samba at all. | 00:54 |
| XStreamX | Doesn't the drive have to be mounted to share it via samba? | 00:55 |
| en1gma | i did a remaster ubuntu iso awhile back because i run from usb stick with non-persistent install so that is why i did a remaster...which worked great for my desktop with amd video card...problem is now when i try to boot that same iso from usb it tells me no supported amd display adapters were found | 00:55 |
| wylde | XStreamX: best I can offer you is the bot's link. Sorry. Maybe someone else here is more familiar with samba. | 00:55 |
| en1gma | i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:55 |
| en1gma | but that dont work | 00:55 |
| Brustofski-fan | Never mind gnome shell integration plugin was disabled | 00:55 |
| e20100633 | Guest32151: no you can't, you have to use Free Software ; webcaming with yahoo is supported by kopete ; but try empathy, it might work as well | 00:55 |
| en1gma | the remaster i installed fglrx prop driver | 00:55 |
| wylde | XStreamX: it has to be mounted on the machine serving the share yes. | 00:56 |
| Guest32151 | thank you | 00:56 |
| XStreamX | •wylde• can you at least help me in getting the drive mounted in ubuntu? | 00:56 |
| dasyogi | hi all. anyone know how I can permanently set backlight for my HP Pavilion laptop on pingolin? everything I try seems to be permanent | 00:56 |
| wylde | XStreamX: ok, do you know what /dev it is? | 00:56 |
| dasyogi | meant temporary | 00:56 |
| en1gma | the iso has everything setup great...and its really difficult to reset everything up...so if there is a simple command i can do to reconfigure xorg it would be fan-freaking-tastic :) | 00:56 |
| XStreamX | I know to do a sudo fdisk -l to determine which drive it is I want to mount. | 00:57 |
| daftykins | en1gma: are you after reconfiguring to not use fglrx? | 00:57 |
| en1gma | yes | 00:57 |
| wylde | XStreamX: alrighty then do that, the rest is easy :) | 00:57 |
| XStreamX | I would love to be able to mount via the gnome gui if possible if not I will do it the command line way. | 00:57 |
| daftykins | en1gma: delete xorg.conf ? | 00:57 |
| en1gma | ohh | 00:57 |
| en1gma | lemme try :) | 00:57 |
| pakattack | Guys what is the terminal command for flashing an iso to a cd? | 00:58 |
| wylde | XStreamX: ok, it's usb drive? | 00:58 |
| XStreamX | No internal | 00:58 |
| XStreamX | sata | 00:58 |
| wylde | XStreamX: and it doesn't automount when you plug it in? | 00:58 |
| en1gma | daftykins thanks man | 00:58 |
| en1gma | you da man | 00:58 |
| ubuntutest314 | DarwinSurvivor, nice tool, but I'm not sure which partition table type I should choose... My options are Intel, EFI GPT, Humax, Mac, None, Sun, XBox, and Return ... what gives ? is ext3fs intel ?!?! | 00:58 |
| daftykins | en1gma: my pleasure :) | 00:58 |
| littlebearz1 | pakattack: dd | 00:59 |
| XStreamX | Just doesn't make sense to me how the gnome gui sees the drive but I can't mount it. | 00:59 |
| arohner | hi. I'm trying to use overlayfs, but my mount command is returning mount: unknown filesystem type 'overlayfs' | 00:59 |
| wylde | if gnome sees it then it's mounted. Do you mean it won't let you mount it from the client machine? | 01:00 |

| pakattack | How to find out what the cd's location is? | 01:00 |
| dasyogi | anyone familiar with screen settings? | 01:00 |
| XStreamX | Okay one sec Im in putty let me switch over to tinyvnc (gnome gui) | 01:00 |
| delac | can anyone tell me how to modify themes. system settings -> appearance seems to ignore all changes to ~/.themes and usr/share/themes | 01:01 |
| XStreamX | Or should I just stay in putty? | 01:01 |
| wylde | XStreamX: no rush, do what you're gonna do :) | 01:01 |
| XStreamX | Okay one sec brb | 01:01 |

| XStreamX | •wylde• okay set now. | 01:02 |
| delac | xangua: no, just adjust gtk themes | 01:02 |
| XStreamX | When I click on the drive if gives the error unable to mount location not authorized. | 01:03 |

| ClientAlive | guess I'll hang it up for tonight. I don't know what to do about the situation and I'm not finding anything that makes sense on the net | 01:03 |
| clh | DarwinSurvivor: I managed to get things resized with gparted. worked unbelievably well actually | 01:03 |
| littlebearz1 | pakattack: use fdisk -l to figure that out or df -h | 01:04 |
| krababbel | XStreamX: is it in there permanently, then just add a line in /etc/fstab | 01:04 |
| XStreamX | •krababbel• what do you mean by permanently? | 01:04 |
| pakattack | Fdisk is only showing hard drive stuff not the cd | 01:04 |
| krababbel | XStreamX: do you want to reguralily unmount it? | 01:05 |
| XStreamX | No I want to mount the drive and make it permanent through reboots. | 01:05 |
| krababbel | XStreamX: if it is in fstab, the server will mount it by default at boot time | 01:05 |
| XStreamX | How do I check to see if it is? | 01:06 |
| XStreamX | I would think that I could access the drive by double clicking it but that is not the case. | 01:06 |
| krababbel | XStreamX: what? mounted? you look if the mount point is empty | 01:06 |

| XStreamX | okay | 01:08 |
| krababbel | XStreamX: by default, ubuntu won't let you mount drives without root access | 01:08 |
| wylde | XStreamX: you add it to /etc/fstab | 01:08 |
| pakattack | Yeah I am trying to flash a iso to a cd through terminal cuz that's the only thing I can use at the moment and there is so much stuff in dev I can't tell wats wat | 01:08 |

| XStreamX | okay | 01:10 |
| XStreamX | brb logging back in via putty | 01:10 |
| krababbel | why does ubuntu mount usb drives automatically? Does it recognise that it is a USB stick for example? | 01:11 |

| XStreamX | at username@MediaServer:~$ | 01:18 |
| darnzy | i havent checked | 01:18 |
| wylde | XStreamX: just cat /etc/fstab and take note of the last 5 characters in the existing disks UUID | 01:18 |
| Bsims | darnzy: there are manuals online with drivers at lexmark for it | 01:18 |
| nmatrix9 | hey guys | 01:19 |
| wylde | XStreamX: then run blkid the ID that DOESN'T match the one I asked you to look at will be the new disk. | 01:19 |

| darnzy_ | !pastebin | 01:40 |

| wylde | XStreamX: and from now on as long as that works (and the drive remains plugged in) the drive will mount at boot. | 01:40 |
| OerHeks | lsusb .. | 01:40 |
| zykotic10 | DarwinSurvivor: i don't lspci will help, OerHeks' lsusb might | 01:41 |
| bazhang | DarwinSurvivor, why would he run lspci for a usb printer | 01:41 |
| darnzy_ | so i did it | 01:41 |
| bazhang | besides which he knows the printer make and model, and lexmark has drivers for ubuntu DarwinSurvivor | 01:42 |
| kzoo_ | does anyone know how to make network manager connect to more than 1 openvpn tunnel at the same time? | 01:42 |
| XStreamX | Okay I didn't chose a path I copied and pasted what you type so I gotta go back. | 01:42 |
| wylde | XStreamX: lol, np :) | 01:42 |
| XStreamX | How do I know what path to chose? | 01:43 |
| wylde | XStreamX: you have a regular user setup on that server? | 01:43 |
| XStreamX | Should make a dir in say the home folder and mount it there? | 01:43 |
| XStreamX | Just one user. | 01:43 |
| darnzy_ | so now what do i do | 01:44 |
| XStreamX | By regular you mean an account besides the root one right? | 01:44 |
| wylde | XStreamX: yeah, on mine I have a dedicated user account for nfs shares. Which uses that users /home/$USER/Public | 01:44 |

| Erealz | hello everyone is anyone haveing random crashes useing compiz? or just random crashing launching programs since upgradeing to 12.4 lts? | 01:45 |
| XStreamX | Okay so I should make a dir in /home/myusername and say name it Public? | 01:45 |
| wylde | XStreamX: that would work :) | 01:46 |
| XStreamX | Okay doing so now. | 01:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: bazhang says that drivers are available (and it appears they may be, but lexmark seems to have deleted them), so I'd just like to rule out the simple stuff and make sure that ubuntu actually detected that *something* was plugged in, otherwise no amount of driver searching will fix it. | 01:46 |
| darnzy_ | no it did not | 01:46 |
| bazhang | DarwinSurvivor, I'm at the download page. they are there. | 01:46 |
| Erealz | hello everyone is anyone haveing random crashes useing compiz? or just random crashing launching programs since upgradeing to 12.4 lts? | 01:47 |
| XStreamX | Okay do I need to go back and mount the drive to that dir? | 01:47 |
| mkquist | Erealz: like what? | 01:47 |
| sacarlson | what is the name of that text format that adds bold and font sizes on a standard text file in some web sites? | 01:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: open a terminal (go to the app menu and type terminal), then type in "lsusb" and hit enter. Then open paste.ubuntu.com and copy/paste the terminal output into the page and submit it. then post the url of the page you get sent to into the irc chat | 01:47 |
| wylde | XStreamX: did you set the entry in /etc/fstab to the directory you just made? | 01:47 |
| Erealz | slugish performance and just random crashes | 01:47 |
| XStreamX | Doing that now. | 01:47 |
| wylde | XStreamX: alrighty | 01:47 |
| bazhang | DarwinSurvivor, he knows the printer make and model, there is zero reason to use lsusb | 01:47 |
| XStreamX | Okay that is done | 01:48 |
| XStreamX | etc/fstab has been corrected now what? | 01:48 |

| TeamRocket1233c | Hi! | 01:51 |
| resting | does ubuntu ssh uses ssl encryption by default? | 01:51 |
| wylde | XStreamX: then the drive mounted and will at every boot | 01:51 |
| wylde | XStreamX: you can access it by going to the directory you made. | 01:51 |
| darnzy_ | so when i print it says not printer | 01:51 |
| XStreamX | •wylde• Thank you so much for your valued assistance. | 01:51 |
| wylde | XStreamX: glad to help :) | 01:51 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Would taking a command-line Ubuntu install, and then installing Fluxbox on it as the desktop, with Dillo as the browser, Thunar as the file manager, the command-line for software installation, and no login manager work at all? | 01:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: hold on, when you say it said "no printers detected" was that in the print dialog (when printing) or the printer setup dialog (under system settings)? | 01:52 |
| darnzy_ | both | 01:52 |
| wylde | TeamRocket1233c: sure. Why wouldn't it? | 01:52 |
| darnzy_ | i try to add a printer | 01:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TeamRocket1233c: should. you will need to launch X from the cli using startx or xinit though (fairly simple, it's what i use on my archlinux box) | 01:52 |
| wylde | TeamRocket1233c: altho you'll have to install xorg as well | 01:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wylde: fluxbox should bring xorg in as a dependency automatically | 01:53 |
| darnzy_ | so it says searching for drivers | 01:53 |
| wylde | DarwinSurvivor: "should" I've actually seen people install a WM and had no xserver | 01:53 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Because I mean sudo apt-get install works just as well as Synaptic for software installation, and then logging in at the command-line and using startx would work well for accessing the desktop, and I know you have to install xorg, ALSA, and a power manager and stuff. | 01:54 |
| Terminus_ | so, can anybody give me a hint on how to fix my winbind issue or confirm it's a bug? the same setup works fine in 10.04 but not in 12.04 except for the fact that i had to change the idmap and backend setup to conform with the new syntax. | 01:54 |
| wylde | TeamRocket1233c: then yep, no reason that wouldn't work :) | 01:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wylde: wow, didn't know that was possible! | 01:54 |
| rsr | hi I installed ubuntu 12.04, I have configured the dock so it will dissapear automatically but when I slide the mouse to the left it does not reappear. | 01:54 |
| rsr | Has anyone seen this issue? | 01:54 |
| TeamRocket1233c | You put the config in question on an i3, it would be SPEEDY!! XD | 01:55 |
| darnzy_ | darwin it cant find drivers | 01:55 |
| Terminus_ | DarwinSurvivor: installing a wm does not necessarily mean the xserver has to be installed since the wm can run on that box but the xserver may be running on a different box entirely. | 01:55 |
| wylde | DarwinSurvivor: it was last week? Maybe the week before someone was in here having wm issues. Turned out the realized they had no x. | 01:55 |
| wylde | DarwinSurvivor: I don't recall the WM though. | 01:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: did it find the printer but just can't install it. or did it not even tell you it had found a printer? | 01:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Terminus_: oh yeah, I forgot about that | 01:56 |
| k014 | hello!, which channel suits best for questions about openGL?, i want to learn the basics, but i dont know where to ask, or where to start | 01:56 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Also, for my next desktop, should I ever be able to get the parts to build it, I've been kinda looking into OpenIndiana or BSD. | 01:56 |
| darnzy_ | when i go to systeme setting then printing and then add it see the lexmark then i click forward and it looks for drivers | 01:56 |
| bazhang | !alis | k014 | 01:56 |
| ubottu | k014: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 01:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | k014: #opengl | 01:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: ok, so it is seeing the lexmark, it just can't find a driver. what *exactly* does the error message say (a screenshot or copy/paste would be best) | 01:57 |
| k014 | thx | 01:57 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Might be better off going into BSD if I'm going to run UNIX on something, as the Solaris/OpenSolaris platform is dying out.. | 01:57 |
| darnzy_ | it tells me i can choose form a list of printer but it isnt in there | 01:57 |
| Terminus_ | argh! this winbind issue is driving me crazy. guess i'll file a bug since i don't think i've done anything wrong with the config. | 01:58 |
| darnzy_ | also it says i can supply a ppd file ? | 01:58 |
| Erealz | is ubuntu aware of the performance issues the community is haveing are the crash report enough to let them know what wrong or do i have to file bug reports? | 01:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: ok, so it didn't find a default driver and is asking you to select one? | 01:58 |
| darnzy_ | yea | 01:58 |
| darnzy_ | but the driver isnt in the list | 01:58 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Linux is definitely either Crunchbang, a custom Ubuntu install, or Fedora for the main three. | 01:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: ok, that is a *completely* different situation than I was picturing! | 01:58 |
| Erealz | is ubuntu aware of the performance issues the community is haveing are the crash report enough to let them know what wrong or do i have to file bug reports? | 01:58 |
| darnzy_ | ok can we fix this? | 01:59 |
| indystor1 | 2~3~ | 01:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: chances are it won't be listed exactly as the printer name is listed, check for something that says "generic" or "lexmark" without a specific model named | 01:59 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Arch in a few years possible. | 01:59 |

| bm27_ | bullet2222: I don't even think that's completely true anymore. | 02:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: I have to leave in about 5-10 minutes, but if the printer uses a common network printing setup, it should be very easy to configure in ubuntu (it should just "show up"). You *may* need to set up a static IP for it, but you can may not | 02:11 |

| mariooo | Hi all. Having consistent network issues with upgraded 11.04 -> 11.10 install (any network commands like apt-get update will lock up at a different point each time), requiring a restart of networking (all SSH connections get dropped and can't reconnect, so pretty much limited to using VNC console). seems to only happen with downloads (i.e. all apt-get stuff), SSH connection is fine unless I run any of these commands. not sure how to debug thi | 02:13 |
| Inspiral | apt-get purge <package> | 02:13 |
| j0hnsm1th | Killswitch, and keep data? | 02:13 |
| axis_ | yes they are +x - not sure what you mean by paths absolute | 02:13 |
| Killswitch | j0hnsm1th: data isn't needed. Have a dev server in my closet and would like to revert it instead of setup a monitor/keyboard/etc with it and reinstall. | 02:13 |
| mariooo | note, I was intending to upgrade staight to 12.04 LTS but didn't notice the required -d on do-release-upgrade until it was too late, and because of network issues can't do further upgrade =/ | 02:14 |
| Killswitch | If I have to, okay, but if I don't. More kowledge | 02:14 |
| === jgard is now known as deepsight | ||
| escott | axis_, some more details please. what does the script do? does it use X? | 02:14 |
| Inspiral | axis_, in your script stuff like: 'ls' should be '/usr/bin/ls' < absolute paths | 02:14 |
| axis_ | i have it mounting windows fs then rsyncing to my ubuntu box- if i just run script it works- | 02:15 |
| axis_ | i have to use sudo | 02:15 |
| resting | how do i create ssl for ssh? | 02:16 |
| axis_ | i have it checking to see if the fs is mounted and if not mount it - | 02:16 |
| escott | axis_, does your rsync use auth_keys? is your private key password protected? | 02:16 |
| mariooo | deeprogram: dpkg -L <packagename> will show you all the installed files for a particular package. not sure if it's a good idea for you to delete them manually though | 02:16 |
| Zwei | Hi, I can't seem tp get my wireless working | 02:16 |
| axis_ | rsync does not use auth keys | 02:17 |
| Zwei | It works when I first installed ubuntu 12.04 | 02:17 |
| Zwei | but now it doesn't. | 02:17 |
| escott | axis_, generally the first thing you do is add a command like "touch /root/cron_job_is_working" at the top of your script to see if it is scheduled correctly | 02:17 |
| Zwei | I've googled around but nothing seems to work | 02:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | darnzy_: are you still there? | 02:17 |
| Zwei | I noticed that I cannot see eth1 | 02:17 |
| escott | axis_, and then start working your way down to figure what line is not working. you should not have sudo in ANY crontab job EVER. | 02:18 |
| sacarlson | bm27_: I'm not seeing any rich text support in jedit maybe it's a plugin that needs to be added? | 02:18 |
| axis_ | it runs on time- if i check syslog with grep i can see it was trying to run - | 02:19 |
| axis_ | i tried putting it in the roots crontab so i wouldnt have to use sudo | 02:19 |
| Inspiral | axis_, i think your paths will be the problem | 02:20 |
| bm27_ | sacarlson: Ah man, sorry for recommending you that without checking first. Make sure to look for a plugin before abandoning it. Looks like you just go to Plugins -> Plugin manager from JEdit itself to get them. | 02:20 |
| axis_ | i posted everything here - http://askubuntu.com/questions/128194/backup-windows-vista-7-picture-folders-by-automounting-windows-fs-and-using-ry | 02:20 |
| iananananan | I need to hot swap in ubuntu, but the drive isn't recognized when i plug it in. I can't boot with the drive in due to some weird system crap. Is there some refresh command i need? | 02:20 |
| Zwei | sudo lshw -C network gives: http://codepad.org/71otSukQ | 02:21 |
| escott | axis_ "network/narcima" is a relative path. | 02:21 |
| sacarlson | bm27_: oh wait it say it supports rtf highlight so maybe that stands for rich text? | 02:21 |
| escott | axis_, ~/Pictures as well. finally you should not be putting this in roots crontab because you dont need it. put it in the user crontab and use udisks to mount the partition | 02:21 |
| bm27_ | sacarlson: Yeah, just save your file as .rtf and it should update to look like an rtf normally would. rtf is definitely rich text format though. | 02:22 |

| zykotic10 | dontknow: yup | 03:14 |
| Karmaon | oh, text based | 03:14 |
| iananananan | Ubuntu's hanging after logging into unity, 12.04. Installing Gnome, but how do i set it to default? | 03:14 |
| iananananan | Not familiar with the new interface. | 03:14 |
| dontknow | zykotic10, is there a particular reason that u use it? | 03:14 |
| Jordan_U | Karmaon: If you press the button to show details, a "skip" option should also appear. | 03:14 |
| zykotic10 | dontknow: because it's text based, and can be run in screen ;) | 03:14 |
| krababbel | anyone knows why gnome-shell-extensions causes a hang at login? | 03:15 |
| Karmaon | Jordan_U: my mouse doesn't show | 03:15 |
| Karmaon | cursor | 03:15 |
| Karmaon | it's been like that since i started the installation wizard | 03:15 |
| iananananan | krababbel, 12.04? | 03:15 |
| Karmaon | i would have to install ati drivers before it does show | 03:15 |
| krababbel | iananananan: yes | 03:15 |
| dontknow | zykotic10, you know what i mean when i said text based lol | 03:15 |
| bushi86 | violinappren: I actually tried that before I came here. I get the following error: | 03:15 |
| iananananan | krababbel, you're not alone. I've got the same issue. I'm installing gnome, going to try that. | 03:16 |
| bushi86 | sudo insmod /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/rt2860sta.ko | 03:16 |

| krababbel | iananananan: I had that after installing advanced settings, or gnome tweak, | 03:16 |
| Inspiral | who thought it would be a good idea to put unity as the default ? | 03:16 |
| krababbel | iananananan: maybe it is caused by extensions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11846729 | 03:16 |
| Tohuw | How can I add a second image to my Ubuntu PXE server? I have the first one working, but am unclear on how to add the second and how to pick the image. I setup PXE per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer | 03:16 |
| quixotedon | Inspiral: i think so | 03:16 |
| iananananan | krababbel, i hang at unity right after login. My issue's a bit worse than yours. | 03:16 |
| krababbel | iananananan: look at post 2, I think it is the same | 03:17 |
| zykotic10 | Inspiral: Mark :p | 03:17 |
| dontknow | iananananan, install gnome shell, really fast | 03:17 |
| Inspiral | the unity bit on gnome 3 is alright | 03:17 |
| violinappren | !nounity | Inspiral | 03:17 |
| ubottu | Inspiral: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 03:17 |
| Inspiral | where its not in ur face all the time | 03:17 |
| krababbel | dontknow: I use gnome-shell | 03:17 |
| * gunouille pops an error on iananananan 's screen | 03:17 | |
| iananananan | dontknow, just ran a apt-get install gnome, waiting for it to finish download. | 03:17 |
| iananananan | Is there a difference between gnome and gnome shell? | 03:17 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: what are you trying to do? do you want to be able to install different versions of ubuntu through pxe? | 03:18 |
| krababbel | iananananan: I think you have unity, and gnome-shell. they are a bit different | 03:18 |
| dontknow | iananananan, instal like this "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" | 03:18 |
| Tohuw | Terminus_: Correct. Namely, 12.04 in both 32 and 64 bit. | 03:18 |
| delac | FYI: "Applications Places" text color can be changed from (for Radiance theme) gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets-backdrop.css -> .menubar .menuitem:backdrop { color: } | 03:18 |
| dontknow | iananananan, so you can have gnome shell | 03:18 |
| krababbel | iananananan: gnome shell has good features, but doesn't use compiz | 03:18 |
| violinappren | bushi86: sudo modprobe -r rt2800pci any errors? | 03:18 |
| iananananan | dontknow, i got just "gnome". It's installing now. | 03:18 |
| resting | hm…i'm enabled ssl site with a2ensite default-ssl now how do i access with https? its rejecting the connection | 03:18 |
| dontknow | krababbel, and it is the best part of it | 03:19 |
| krababbel | iananananan: I searched for gnome-shell in software center. | 03:19 |
| iananananan | krababbel, nuh-uh. command line. | 03:19 |
| bushi86 | violinappren: no errors | 03:19 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: what i've done here is mirror i386 and amd64 to a webserver and i have a pxe config i wrote from scratch. =| | 03:19 |
| krababbel | dontknow: I like it, but these extensions cause it to hang at login | 03:19 |
| violinappren | resting: sudo service apache2 restart | 03:19 |
| violinappren | bushi86: try insmod again | 03:19 |
| resting | violinappren: yup..tried that..hm..maybe the iptables..let me try again | 03:20 |
| gogeta | krababbel: unless its been patched gnome shell is currently broken for ubuntu 12.04 | 03:20 |
| iananananan | krababbel, can you not get to your desktop? | 03:20 |
| dontknow | krababbel, how many extension did you install | 03:20 |
| krababbel | iananananan: it's called like that in apt-get also | 03:20 |
| iananananan | krababbel, oh okay misunderstood | 03:20 |
| krababbel | dontknow: none, gnome-shell-extensions gnome-shell-extensions-common cause that without any apparently | 03:20 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: It's working fine for me. | 03:21 |
| bushi86 | violinappren: same error (-1 device or resource busy) | 03:21 |
| krababbel | gogeta: really? I can use it fine, apart from the extension thing | 03:21 |
| belak | I really just need to figure out how to get grub into the mbr... grub-install /dev/sda didn't work... | 03:21 |

| iananananan | Default display manager: gdm, lightdm, which? | 03:22 |
| violinappren | bushi86: pastebin: lsmod | grep rt | 03:22 |
| resting | violinappren: port 443 is already opened hm.. | 03:22 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: have you tried just copying the contents of the CDs to a directory on your webserver to recreate the directory structure of archive.ubuntu.com? if you can do that, it's probable you can just add another entry in your pxe config that uses the amd64 instead of the i386 kernel. | 03:22 |
| dontknow | iananananan, gdm is gnome display managaer | 03:22 |
| violinappren | resting: pastebin the output of: sudo netstat -plnt | 03:22 |

| ubottu | dontknow: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 03:23 |

| Jordan_U | belak: The RESULTS.txt from boot info script would be very helpful in diagnosing your problem. | 03:25 |

| dontknow | xD | 03:25 |
| Tohuw | gogeta: I'm aware. I am trying to support multiple images. | 03:25 |
| violinappren | resting: not just a2enmod , but a2ensite also | 03:25 |
| gogeta | Tohuw: wouldent you just add them to grub | 03:25 |
| violinappren | resting: two different things | 03:25 |
| Tohuw | gogeta: And specifically, you copy netboot, not the entire ISO. And no, GRUB has nothing to do with PXE booting. | 03:26 |
| Terminus_ | gogeta: you don't use grub when doing PXE boot. | 03:26 |
| Tohuw | (in this context) | 03:26 |
| violinappren | Sach: check file associations in preferences | 03:26 |
| gogeta | Tohuw: sorry pxe conf | 03:26 |
| belak | Jordan_U: I already know that the issue is that grub isn't getting installed to the MBR... | 03:26 |
| belak | Jordan_U: grub-install doesn't seem to install it either | 03:27 |
| belak | Also that chroot method didn't work | 03:27 |
| Tohuw | Terminus_: I don't mind downloading the packages from archive.ubuntu.com. I just want to be able to pick 32 or 64 at boot time. I haven't mirrored the archive, set up the http part, etc. | 03:27 |
| pram | Hi, need some help | 03:27 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: here's a snippet from my config --> http://codepad.org/Ilfvq8y7 | 03:27 |
| zykotic10 | belak: fyi, if you have "virus protection" in BIOS, it can cause issues for MBR installations | 03:27 |
| pram | I am working on PHP in ubuntu | 03:27 |
| Jordan_U | belak: What grub-install command did you run and what did it output? | 03:27 |
| gogeta | Terminus_: a he bottem of the page it tells you abought using iso directly and multi mounts | 03:28 |
| gogeta | the | 03:28 |
| gunouille | php = sql injection | 03:28 |
| pram | and my script tries to move the file from one location to another. | 03:28 |
| Sach | violinappren: I did. My pdf documents are set to open with "Use Document Viewer (default)". However, I'm not sure why this doesnt work. | 03:28 |
| belak | zykotic10: I don't see anything in the bios that looks like that | 03:28 |
| resting | violinappren: in fact i didn't do a2enmod, it is already enabled. | 03:28 |
| pram | But, since ubuntu does not provide root privileges | 03:28 |
| violinappren | Sach: clear it | 03:28 |
| pram | The script is giving me an error | 03:28 |
| zykotic10 | belak: ok, just checking | 03:28 |
| belak | Jordan_U: I ran all the commands to get inside the chroot, I ran grub-update, I ran grub-install /dev/sda | 03:29 |
| pram | So, how do I provide root access to php | 03:29 |
| pram | ? | 03:29 |

| jetboyjetgirl | what do you guys think about making a resume with vim? good/bad idea? trying to make one and get some vim practice @ the same time.... kill two birds w/one stone | 03:29 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: what i did was i downloaded the kernel and initrd from http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/ and http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/, placed them in their own directories under tftpboot, and have different menu entries for starting them in pxelinux.cfg/default | 03:29 |
| Sach | violinappren: how do I clear it? I dont see an option to do so | 03:30 |
| zykotic10 | pram: a web server with root access... eek. | 03:30 |
| belak | grub-update output a whole bunch of info (probing for OSs and such) and grub-install said no error occured | 03:30 |
| Jordan_U | belak: Then the problem is not grub's boot sector. | 03:30 |
| violinappren | Sach: make it "always ask" ? | 03:30 |
| resting | violinappren: only PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/imap.ini on line 1 in Unknown line 0 error | 03:30 |
| resting | and mcrypt.ini | 03:30 |
| Tohuw | Terminus_: ah. gotcha. Can I ogle your pxelinux.cfg? | 03:31 |
| === solid is now known as Guest44497 | ||
| belak | Jordan_U: then how come I get an error that should only appear if the NT bootloader is in the MBR? And that script I was shown also still says that the Win 7 bootloader is in the MBR? | 03:31 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: since you don't mind downloading from archive.ubuntu.com, you can just adapt the configuration i pasted with the appropriate kernel and initrd files and you should be good to go. | 03:31 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: http://codepad.org/Ilfvq8y7 | 03:31 |
| pram | zykotic10: Ok, all I want to do is just move the files.. not complete root access | 03:31 |
| violinappren | resting: sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log and in another terminal: sudo service apache2 force-reload | 03:31 |
| civilianpoppy_ | exit | 03:31 |
| civilianpoppy_ | logout | 03:31 |
| civilianpoppy_ | lol | 03:31 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: ^^^ that's the portion of my pxe config that handles ubuntu. | 03:32 |
| iananananan | okay, gnomeshell is installed,but attempting to run gives me an error message, unable to open X display | 03:32 |
| Tohuw | Terminus_: Thanks! | 03:32 |
| Sach | violinappren: I did that, but I still can't open pdf documents. | 03:32 |
| iananananan | whilst installing it told me to edit some config files, does anyone know these? | 03:32 |
| bushi86 | violinappren: I hard-wired my ubuntu box through my laptop using a bridged connection to my wifi and am updating all packaged via Update Manager. I don't think it will help (didn't see anything that would affect it) but I will post here if it does | 03:32 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: i pasted it earlier. guess you missed it. =) | 03:32 |
| violinappren | Sach: check select use other and manually pick evince | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | belak: Please pastebin the RESULTS.txt created by boot info script and the exact output from "grub-install /dev/sda". | 03:32 |

| dontknow | iananananan, did you install like this: "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell"? | 03:33 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: how are you trying to run gnome-shell? "unable to open X display" is suspicious | 03:34 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: there are 5 entries, it's just the standard install and rescue startup for 32 bit and 64 bit. you can just delete the entry with the preseed url. it's for automated installation that i've been working on. | 03:34 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, sudo gnome-shell from a forced cli | 03:34 |
| Tohuw | Terminus_: indeed I did. I see it now. If I wanted to pull the kernel and initrd files from archive.ubuntu.com, do I need to provide their physical path via http, or just call them by name and it will know to seek it from there? | 03:34 |
| iananananan | dontknow, minus the -shell, yes | 03:34 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: oh my | 03:34 |
| belak | Jordan_U: give me a min | 03:34 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, way off, aren't i? | 03:34 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, unity will work this way but unity doesn't work. | 03:35 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: 1) don't use sudo when you don't need to 2) don't use sudo for GUI apps 3) use a DM to select gnome-shell | 03:35 |
| iananananan | DM? | 03:35 |
| bluefox83 | ok, i need some serious help with my nvidia card.... | 03:35 |
| Tohuw | !gksu | iananananan | 03:35 |
| ubottu | iananananan: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:35 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: lightdm, gdm, kdm, etc | 03:35 |
| iananananan | DM? | 03:36 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: desktop manager | 03:36 |
| gunouille | in other word, the section manager | 03:36 |
| iananananan | sorry, hit the up arrow, and enter | 03:36 |
| spiritech | i i would really like to remove the default shortcuts from nautilus. i have tried editing file .conf/user-dir.dir. it works for that session. then when i reboot they just come back. any suggestions please. | 03:36 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: the kernel and initrd files are loaded via tftp, not http so you have to place them in your tftpboot directory as well. | 03:36 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, so what do i need to enter in the cli? | 03:36 |
| civilianpoppy_ | bluefox | 03:36 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: "startx" you could try | 03:37 |
| bluefox83 | i tried installing the two nvidia graphics drivers listed in "additional drivers" but they both failed to let nautilus or compiz to load...so i tried the one on nvidia.com and it's still not working right D: | 03:37 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, literally startx? | 03:37 |
| bluefox83 | civilianpoppy_: hrm? | 03:37 |
| Tohuw | Terminus_: ah, gotcha. just make different directories for them. It all makes sense now :| | 03:37 |
| civilianpoppy_ | you need to use 2d most | 03:37 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: yes, "startx" as a command | 03:37 |
| civilianpoppy_ | mode* | 03:37 |
| bushi86 | violinappren: whenever the wifi is connected, it shows Driver: rt2860. I'm pretty sure I'm using an RT2800 card (I forgot the command, but I saw that in the terminal). However, rt2860 isn't listed under lsmod | 03:37 |
| spiritech | so does anybody know another way of removing the nautilus shortcuts permanently | 03:37 |
| spiritech | ? | 03:37 |
| Tohuw | spiritech: Which nautilus shortcuts? | 03:38 |
| civilianpoppy_ | i have an acer with a 7000m nvidia card in it and I cant get the screen resolution rightt | 03:38 |

| gogeta | bushi86: may be the same card just a diffrent rev what command btw | 03:38 |
| Sach | violinappren: If I select use other, I need to browse to evince. Do you know it's location? | 03:38 |
| Tohuw | Terminus_: many thanks. You've been most helpful. | 03:38 |
| violinappren | Sach: /usr/bin | 03:38 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: good luck and have fun. network boot is quite convenient. =) | 03:39 |
| gogeta | bushi86: your wifi works? | 03:39 |
| bushi86 | violinappren: http://paste.ubuntu.com/974944/ | 03:39 |
| Tohuw | Terminus_: indeed, especially for someone who has a system with no optical drive and loses thumb drives like it's his profession. | 03:39 |
| bluefox83 | can anyone recommend a good place for help on nvidia driver problems? | 03:40 |
| bushi86 | gogeta: it connects the network for a few minutes, but no Internet connectivity | 03:40 |
| John` | I'm having a bit of an issue. My Xonar DX is not outputting any sound on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 install. I can select Xonar DX in Alsamixer and adjust the volume but there is no sound at any level. | 03:40 |
| Terminus_ | Tohuw: hehe. we don't bother installing optical drives here either. i can automate installs better with network boot as well. | 03:40 |
| zykotic10 | bluefox83: from ubuntu repo, or nvidia.com? | 03:40 |
| spiritech | Tohuw there are 5 shortcuts underneath the computer menu on the sidebar. Documents Downloads Music Pictures and Videos. it also makes folders for each in my home every time. | 03:40 |
| Tohuw | bluefox83: Here, provided you are using Ubuntu. Just ask your question. | 03:40 |
| gogeta | bushi86: have you tryed it by hand | 03:40 |
| bluefox83 | zykotic10: either, i can't get anything to work right | 03:41 |
| civilianpoppy_ | me too lol kind of | 03:41 |
| spiritech | i delete them and they just come back. | 03:41 |
| gogeta | bushi86: sometimes the gui craps out where a cli command works | 03:41 |
| bushi86 | gogeta: what do you mean by hand? | 03:41 |
| civilianpoppy_ | on a laptop with a nvidia 7000m | 03:41 |
| thetallguy | how do I configure the geometry of the desktop workspaces in 12.04? | 03:41 |
| resting | violinappren: its working now. i had to a2enmod ssl. and i though it was already enabled duhz..thanks | 03:41 |
| John` | Nevermind. If anyone else has the issue in the future it is classified (for me) as "Oxygen HD Audio" for some reason. | 03:41 |
| bushi86 | gogeta: connect via terminal? I do not know how. I have tried pinging URLs and IP addresses, both fail | 03:42 |
| violinappren | resting: you're welcome | 03:42 |
| gogeta | bushi86: and if your using a network bridge you need to turn it off for the eifi to work normaly again | 03:42 |
| gogeta | wifi | 03:42 |
| civilianpoppy_ | The tall guy: i need help with them too because it seems to be the base of the promlem | 03:42 |
| gogeta | bushi86: if you got the wifi as a ap or something | 03:43 |
| spiritech | i have checked the nautilus preferences and there are no options there. | 03:43 |
| bushi86 | gogeta: I am using a bridge on my laptop to connect my Ubuntu box via ethernet...no brides set on Ubuntu afaik | 03:43 |
| bluefox83 | Tohuw: ok well, whatever default 12.04 uses for nvidia drivers, it doesn't work quite right. for whatever reason text in a lot of buttons and the status bars and stuff is missing a lot of charecters. so i decided to try installing nvidia drivers (ones from the repo, then the one from nvidia.com) none have been successful yet | 03:43 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, startx prints more errors | 03:43 |
| thetallguy | where did you find the nautilus config? | 03:43 |
| spiritech | i dont understand why they come back after i delete them out. | 03:43 |
| arohner | what package owns kernel modules? dpkg -S /lib/modules/foo.ko says linux-image-server, but dpkg -c linux-image-server doesn't contain the .ko. What gives? | 03:43 |

| zykotic10 | iananananan: do you already have an Xorg session running? | 03:43 |
| gogeta | bushi86: you need to disconnect one to use the other | 03:44 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, probably | 03:44 |
| bluefox83 | i am wondering if i need to edit the blacklist files in /etc/modprobe.d/ to get something up and running properly... | 03:44 |
| gogeta | bushi86: or they will conflict | 03:44 |
| violinappren | Sach: 1 | 03:44 |
| spiritech | thetallguy in my home folder .conf | 03:44 |
| bushi86 | gogeta: It was not working before. I just did this now so that I can post cmd output to pastebin | 03:44 |
| civilianpoppy_ | bluefox freom everything ive read | 03:44 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: then "startx" won't work until you stop it | 03:44 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, i'm getting into the CLI via booting into ubuntu, then cntrl+alt+f6 | 03:44 |
| gogeta | bushi86: ah | 03:44 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, my spideysense is tingling telling me that's causing issues | 03:45 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: ya, "sudo service lightdm" should stop it probably | 03:45 |
| Tohuw | bluefox83: what modules are currently running now? what does jockey-gtk say your currently running video driver is? What is the make of your video card? | 03:45 |
| zykotic10 | iananananan: ya, "sudo service lightdm stop" sorry | 03:45 |
| Sach | violinappren: thanks, but pdf documents still dont open for me :( | 03:45 |
| civilianpoppy_ | you need to manually edit the /usr/share/X11/nvidia/ uyhh???.conf | 03:45 |
| iananananan | zykotic10, i have funky graphics card setup | 03:46 |
| bluefox83 | what is jockey-gtk? | 03:46 |
| civilianpoppy_ | because the problem is even though they've been working on this nvidia issue since like version 7.10 | 03:46 |
| belak | Jordan_U: Output of grub-install /dev/sda - Installation Finished. No error reported. | 03:46 |
| Tohuw | bluefox83: The process name for "Additional Drivers" | 03:46 |
| bushi86 | gogeta violinappren: I just finished updating all packages via Update Manager. I will restart my machine and come back on | 03:46 |
| belak | Jordan_U: 1 min, I'll pastebin the results file. | 03:46 |
| zykotic10 | bluefox83: jockey is used to install proprietary drivers | 03:47 |
| bluefox83 | it says no proprietary drivers are being used...but i *just* installed the driver from nvidia.com | 03:48 |
| bluefox83 | so i am incredibly confused | 03:48 |
| civilianpoppy_ | (jockey-gtk:23096): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed | 03:48 |

| zykotic10 | bluefox83: if you used nvidia.com drivers, jockey isn't going to be aware of it... | 03:48 |
| belak | Jordan_U: http://www.pastie.org/3876866 | 03:48 |
| bluefox83 | zykotic10: well the two listed in jockey don't work either | 03:48 |
| civilianpoppy_ | weird the display on this comp is fine | 03:48 |
| darnzy__ | darwin? | 03:49 |
| bluefox83 | but i did install the version from the website...so that should at least be getting loaded...whats the deal with that? | 03:49 |
| civilianpoppy_ | did you reboot? | 03:49 |
| belak | Jordan_U: the RESULTS.txt there was generated after I ran the grub-install | 03:50 |
| darnzy__ | need help getting lexmark prnter hooked to ubuntu | 03:50 |
| bluefox83 | when i try to "sudo modprobe nvidia" i get "WARNING: Not loading blacklisted module nvidia_current | 03:50 |
| Jordan_U | belak: That is bizarre. Can you run "grub-install --debug /dev/sda" and pastebin the output? | 03:51 |
| civilianpoppy_ | let me see | 03:51 |
| linux_is_my_hero | why wont my frostwire load? | 03:51 |

| civilianpoppy_ | bluefox83 | 03:52 |
| bluefox83 | oh, what do you need me to show you O.o | 03:52 |
| civilianpoppy_ | i have a acer laptop with a 7000m nvidia graphics card | 03:53 |
| belak | Jordan_U: http://www.pastie.org/3876886 | 03:53 |
| civilianpoppy_ | i updated to 12.04 and it had the restricted drivers and they dont make a difference I cant see the status bar or launch bar unless I run it in 2D | 03:54 |

| civilianpoppy_ | well im on it right now on a piece of crap e machine and its greath | 03:54 |
| jacky | I can't connect to mysql on Ubuntu. | 03:54 |
| civilianpoppy_ | and the video card is VERY similar | 03:55 |
| civilianpoppy_ | so I don't imderstamd lol | 03:55 |
| jacky | Every time I try to run "mysql -u jalcine" it fails :/ | 03:55 |
| chrisdruif | any Video Survilance software for Ubunut 9.04 | 03:55 |
| belak | jacky: did you set a password for that user? | 03:55 |
| jacky | and when I run it as "mysql" it fails again there too. | 03:55 |
| Hoyt | jacky: did you set a password for that user ? | 03:55 |
| jacky | No, I haven't. | 03:55 |
| Jordan_U | belak: That's the problem, grub-efi is being installed rather than grub-pc. | 03:55 |
| jacky | That's my useraccount. | 03:55 |
| pungi-man | try mysql -u user -p | 03:55 |
| belak | Jordan_U: ah, how can I fix that? | 03:56 |
| pungi-man | then enter the password | 03:56 |
| bluefox83 | well i'm on a HP laptop running GeForce 7150M >.> | 03:56 |

| civilianpoppy_ | yea my acer is a 7000m | 03:56 |
| civilianpoppy_ | so we need the same solution | 03:56 |
| belak | Jordan_U: already the newest version | 03:56 |
| bluefox83 | and it seems like no matter what i do, the stinking thing does not want to use the nvidia drivers :( | 03:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | why wont my frostwire open? | 03:57 |
| civilianpoppy_ | you know what you boot up? to the login screen? | 03:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ubuntu 11.10 x64 | 03:57 |
| bluefox83 | i'm considering deleting the blacklist files and reloading the nvidia driver :P | 03:57 |
| Hoyt | jacky: did you start your mysql server ? | 03:57 |
| civilianpoppy_ | click the ubuntu 2D | 03:57 |
| foolsh | jacky: linux user accounts are different than the mysql accounts. Did you set the root password for mysql when it installed? | 03:57 |
| jacky | Not sure on how to do that. | 03:57 |
| bushi86 | violinappren: after rebooting my machine, lshw -C network showed the wifi as UNCLAIMED. I did a modprobe rt2800pci and now it is connected to the wifi and internet seems to be working. However, speedtest shows .41mbps down .61mbps up! Extremely slow | 03:57 |
| civilianpoppy_ | fox you need to edit the /usr/share/X11/nvidia/something.conf file | 03:58 |
| civilianpoppy_ | im pretty sure is the only way to fix it | 03:58 |
| jacky | foolsh: No, I don't remember to remember doing tha. | 03:58 |
| jacky | *that | 03:58 |
| civilianpoppy_ | how did u fix it? | 03:58 |
| Hoyt | jacky: again , your server is not started. | 03:58 |
| bluefox83 | civilianpoppy_: i don't have that dir at all | 03:59 |
| jacky | How would I about go about starting it? | 03:59 |
| Hoyt | jacky: i'm installing mysql-server , hang on | 03:59 |
| Hoyt | jacky: "start mysql" or "service mysql start" , i'm not sure which one it's using | 04:00 |
| belak | Jordan_U: Ah, my mistake... | 04:00 |
| belak | Not installed... | 04:00 |
| anoldhacker | I'm having trouble installing bison & autoconf on Lucid: sudo apt-get install autoconf ... | 04:00 |
| Hoyt | jacky: use "start mysql" | 04:00 |
| civilianpoppy_ | i can try to find it | 04:00 |

| jacky | getting "unrecognized job" and "unrecognized service" for that.. | 04:01 |
| anoldhacker | I don't know if I actually ever *had* the disk... | 04:01 |
| Hoyt | jacky: have you installed "mysql-server" package ? | 04:01 |
| anoldhacker | jacky: what does ls /etc/init.d/*mysql* give? | 04:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | WHY WON'T MY FROSTWIRE LOAD? | 04:02 |

| zykotic10 | Hoyt: think you mean upstart ;) | 04:03 |
| civilianpoppy_ | get deluge and get good torrents | 04:03 |
| Hoyt | zykotic10: thanks , I made a mistake then | 04:03 |
| linux_is_my_hero | civilianpoppy: it is kinda slow sometimes...what do you use? | 04:03 |
| belak | Jordan_U: wow, that was odd... thanks a ton for helping me with that | 04:03 |
| civilianpoppy_ | Deluge | 04:03 |
| belak | I never would have guessed | 04:03 |
| linux_is_my_hero | civilianpoppy: i didnt see your previous message, disregard my question | 04:03 |
| civilianpoppy_ | ok | 04:04 |
| Jordan_U | belak: You're welcome. I wonder how grub-efi got installed in the first place though. | 04:04 |
| anoldhacker | jacky: do you have the mysql package installed? | 04:04 |
| jacky | yup | 04:04 |
| anoldhacker | jacky: what is your debian version? | 04:05 |
| jacky | of the package; I'm looking, but I'm using 11.10 | 04:05 |
| anoldhacker | Anyone know why apt-get wants me to have a Lucid crdom mounted when I'm installing bison or autoconf? | 04:06 |
| anoldhacker | Hoyt: What are you talking about wrt systemd? | 04:06 |
| jacky | anoldhacker: checked your /etc/apt/sources.conf ? | 04:06 |
| Hoyt | anoldhacker: must have something wrong in /etc/apt/sources.* | 04:06 |
| jacky | and 5.5.22-0ubuntu1 is my mysql-client version. | 04:06 |
| belak | Jordan_U: it was just a default install of 12.04... I have no idea | 04:06 |
| Hoyt | anoldhacker: that was called "upstart" in ubuntu , not systemd i guess | 04:07 |
| zykotic10 | anoldhacker: remove the cd from your sources (i'd recommend a GUI method however) | 04:07 |
| anoldhacker | I just installed 20 other packages no problem with it. | 04:07 |
| bluefox83 | how do you get nvidia-settings to recognize that nvidia (the driver) is loaded? | 04:07 |
| anoldhacker | I'll look, though. | 04:07 |
| anoldhacker | zykotic10: I tried synaptic. No love. | 04:07 |
| bluefox83 | it still says i'm not using one, yet lsmod returns that nvidia is loaded :( | 04:08 |
| zykotic10 | anoldhacker: ya, i think you'd need to try U.S.C. perhaps? i don't know how ubuntu is managing it these days. | 04:08 |
| foolsh | bluefox83: If you're have issues with that try running 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' and restarting | 04:09 |
| Jordan_U | belak: Does your Firmware support [U]EFI? | 04:09 |
| snapdata | lol | 04:09 |
| bluefox83 | that would be very bad, i have a broken screen on this laptop and it's hooked to a monitor...last time i did that it completely screwed up | 04:09 |
| B|tchX | sudo jockey-gtk to bring up the video driver menu | 04:09 |
| belak | Jordan_U: I doubt it... not really sure how to tell | 04:09 |
| snapdata | My error reporting experienced an error | 04:10 |
| zykotic10 | !gksudo | B|tchX | 04:10 |
| ubottu | B|tchX: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 04:10 |
| B|tchX | "recommended" is not always the best driver | 04:10 |
| B|tchX | I'm on 11.10 with nvidia 173 | 04:10 |
| belak | It's a Lenovo b570... | 04:10 |
| B|tchX | I use kdesudo for etherape | 04:10 |

| B|tchX | I lasted 3 hours on 12.04 and I never want to see it again. | 04:11 |

| foolsh | bluefox83: Ah I see, you should be more forth coming with details like that | 04:11 |
| darnzy__ | how can i downgrade | 04:11 |
| zykotic10 | !downgrade | darnzy__ | 04:11 |
| ubottu | darnzy__: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 04:11 |
| zykotic10 | darnzy__: reinstall | 04:11 |
| bluefox83 | i installed the version from nvidia.com and finally got it to load...but nvidia-settings doesn't see it | 04:11 |
| anoldhacker | That really, Really should not have mattered... | 04:11 |
| anoldhacker | zykotic10: Thanks! | 04:12 |
| darnzy__ | thanks | 04:12 |
| bluefox83 | foolsh: my bad... | 04:12 |
| darnzy__ | but i have to find it | 04:12 |
| anoldhacker | jacky: I've not fooled with anything past 5.0 yet, but I don't think that should be the issue. | 04:12 |
| foolsh | bluefox83: does the file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' exist? | 04:12 |
| bluefox83 | foolsh: yup | 04:12 |
| bluefox83 | and it says "nvidia" for the driver | 04:13 |

| bluefox83 | too many all at once, foolsh was crushed beneath heavy logs... | 04:37 |
| foolsh | bluefox83: Hmm, First I suggest you uninstall the nvidia drivers you got from the nvidia site. Then after rebooting issue a 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-173' your card is a bit lower-end and may not have great support by the "latest drivers" from nvidia | 04:37 |
| bluefox83 | uhm...ok | 04:37 |
| bluefox83 | how would i remove the ones from the site? | 04:38 |
| foolsh | bluefox83: running the installer again usually has that option | 04:39 |

| Gnumatic | I want to set up a totally encrypted LVM system on my new 60 GB SSD, I am using the alternate install CD Expert Install, but it asks me if I want a separate / and /home, which I think is a great idea, but the partitioner seems to want to make / only 10 GB (not enough) and /home 51.5 GB (way more than enough) and it seems to insist on installing a 2.3 GB swap partition, which I don't want, I won't be hibernating the system and it has | 04:50 |
| Gnumatic | I guess what I could do is make the 50 GB partition my / and the 10 GB my home, but that is a little small for /home. I was hoping for about 24+29+0 | 04:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | urgodfather: well, it appears be detecting it, could you pastebin the output of "ifconfig"? | 04:52 |

| bluefox83 | foolsh: removing xorg.conf would be bad, like i said before, main monitor it broken, i'm using a secondary | 05:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | urgodfather: actually, can you to the unplug/replug, then dmesg again? I want to see if it's changed | 05:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | urgodfather: if an interface is "down" (turned off by the kernel) it may not appear in ifconfig | 05:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | urgodfather: could you also install rfkill (sudo apt-get install rfkill) and then pastebin "rfkill list" (no sudo required) | 05:01 |
| pratz | DarwinSurvivor: both of them | 05:02 |

| _manu_ | DarwinSurvivor, I have a ~/.bin folder which I'd like to be in the PATH when I use sudo | 05:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yuri__: if you are using an encrypted home, that folder contains the ACTUAL files that are being displayed to you in your home folder | 05:43 |
| yuri__ | DarwinSurvivor What do I do about all the extra space it is eating? Is there any way to turn it back off? | 05:43 |
| _manu_ | I'd also like to use my ~/.bashrc, ~/.screenrc etc. | 05:43 |
| sergiu | Look at kde 4 windows manager and on that nautilus... | 05:44 |
| tiox | sergiu: We're being kind when we tell you to get off it. | 05:44 |
| sergiu | tiox man, shut up | 05:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yuri__: it's not *actually* using extra space. The files that you *think* are in /home/yourname/ are *actually* "fake" files representing encrypted ones inside /home/yourname/.ecryptfs | 05:44 |

| yuri__ | DarwinSurvivor, ubottu, I was just there reading about disabling .encryptfs and have decided to keep it for now. It would be easier to reformat than to disable it. ;) | 05:48 |

| bazhang | !notunity | zmsj | 05:49 |
| ubottu | zmsj: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 05:49 |

| yuri__ | Alright. Is ubottu a robot or a person? | 05:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | zmsj: you have already been told the answer. gnome 2 is deprecated, even the people that WROTE it don't use or support it | 05:50 |

| rony_ | <tiox> thaks i going to waitting for u | 05:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: gah, I know someone with a netbook like that. let me think | 06:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: ok, you are using the "install" icon on the live-cd desktop correct? | 06:01 |
| csgeek | no... it's an Ubuntu server install | 06:02 |
| csgeek | I boot into the CD.. I get past the first 2 prompts.. after that where it starts loading the OS .. I cant select anything | 06:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: oh. then you kind of *need* the keyboard don't you :( | 06:02 |
| csgeek | lol. | 06:03 |
| csgeek | yes | 06:03 |
| ronsonol | Changelog for util-linux says ddate was removed in 2.11z-3, returned in 2.11z-4, no mention again removed, but isn't in 2.20.1. Mystery when was removed. | 06:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: is that the first place where you have to use the enter key? | 06:03 |
| csgeek | I suppose I could script the entire install process...but that won't get done tonight | 06:03 |
| csgeek | no... | 06:03 |
| csgeek | so.. splash screen right.. select the keyboard and language.. (that works ) | 06:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: and you don't have any other keyboards? | 06:03 |
| csgeek | nope.. only one on hand | 06:03 |
| csgeek | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Boot-Options.png keyboard works fine at this point | 06:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: and you don't get any errors? It just stops accepting input? | 06:04 |
| csgeek | once I hit install.. it stops working | 06:04 |
| csgeek | right | 06:04 |
| csgeek | up down, space, tab.. computer doesn't react | 06:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: ok, next thing is to run the "Check disk for defects" item in that list. It coud be the installer crashing and not the keyboard | 06:05 |
| csgeek | I could.. but it gets past that point if I load it via kvm | 06:05 |
| rony_ | thanks someone helpme in ubuntu-es thanks all for ur time | 06:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: wait, I thought this was a server install. Isn't that a screenshot from the desktop installer? | 06:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: gets past it? I don't understand | 06:06 |
| csgeek | back tracking | 06:06 |
| csgeek | first screen... choose your language | 06:06 |
| csgeek | keyboard works | 06:06 |
| KM0201 | csgeek: so basically, it freezes on the blue screen to choose your language | 06:06 |
| KM0201 | i think its blue anyway | 06:06 |
| fidel_ | ahoi | 06:07 |
| csgeek | second screen choose your action... "install server, check disk etc.." keyboard works fine.. | 06:07 |
| csgeek | after that it freezes | 06:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: can you run the "check disk" part? that will rule out a corrupted download/burn | 06:07 |
| csgeek | hmm.. well keyboard freezes again to pick options | 06:08 |
| KM0201 | hmm, i don't think think thats a keyboard issue csgeek ... i'd agree, check the install disk, or you might have some sort of oddball hardware incompatibility | 06:08 |
| csgeek | KM0201, I can use the same media to install server in a VM | 06:08 |
| KM0201 | csgeek: that really doesn't matter... at all. | 06:08 |
| csgeek | if it's a bad media.. then it would work or break consistently | 06:09 |
| FishFace | csgeek: Do you have any other USB gizmos also plugged in when installing? | 06:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: can you run the check-cd from the VM? | 06:09 |
| KM0201 | cs278: not necessarily | 06:09 |
| KM0201 | sorry, csgeek not necessaril,y | 06:09 |
| csgeek | the keyboard and the USB thumb drive I'm installing from | 06:09 |
| csgeek | sure.. I can do that | 06:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: mount the usb-drive itself, not just the iso image | 06:10 |
| csgeek | checking | 06:10 |
| csgeek | well.. the check drive fails since its trying to mount /dev/sr0 (ie. cdrom ) | 06:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: hmm, well can you at least check the iso (md5sum name_of_iso_image) and compare it to... | 06:11 |
| csgeek | I could cat /dev/sdb1 | md5sum and compared it to the iso.. | 06:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !md5 | csgeek | 06:11 |
| ubottu | csgeek: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 06:11 |
| subdesign | hey | 06:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: sdb1 won't match the iso unless you dd'd it (which is NOT supported) | 06:11 |
| ozzloy | is there a way to get a hostname from an ip? | 06:12 |
| subdesign | let me ask, x64 on ubuntu is the same as x64 on windows, so if I have 4Gig ram only, I should use x32 version? | 06:12 |
| ozzloy | reverse dns, i guess? | 06:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ozzloy: http://linuxcommando.blogspot.ca/2008/07/how-to-do-reverse-dns-lookup.html may work | 06:12 |
| FishFace | ozzloy: Maybe this - http://ip-lookup.net/ | 06:12 |
| csgeek | no.. I used the usb-creator.. | 06:13 |
| === sirknight is now known as htmlinprogress | ||
| DarwinSurvivor | subdesign: there are other advantages to 64 bit as well | 06:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: then sdb1 *definitely* won't match the iso (and *shouldn't*) | 06:13 |
| subdesign | DarwinSurvivor, faster? | 06:13 |
| tech_god | Hi all | 06:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | subdesign: a little. it also makes it *much* easier if you ever upgrade the ram or something. I've been running 64 bit since 7.10 and haven't had any issues with it (other than compiling VERY obscure tools) since at least 9.04 | 06:15 |
| tech_god | Who is hungary | 06:15 |
| subdesign | DarwinSurvivor, thank you | 06:15 |
| agronholm | Hungary is a country | 06:15 |
| csgeek | alright.. i'm out of ideas for the time being.. | 06:15 |
| csgeek | I need to get a different keyboard.. or burn a cd I think | 06:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: did the iso pass the md5 test? | 06:16 |
| subdesign | i'm bit hungry :P | 06:16 |
| csgeek | DarwinSurvivor, yeah.. the ISO passes the test | 06:17 |
| raghavps_ | \join vmcpl | 06:17 |
| subdesign | DarwinSurvivor, so if I change to x64 (php dev, apache etc.) I wont have any difficulties? | 06:19 |
| csgeek | LAMP stack is pretty standardize.. I doubt you'd have problems in that | 06:20 |
| subdesign | okay | 06:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | subdesign: the only things that you'd have issues with are *possibly* skype. even flash works very well in 64 bit these days | 06:21 |
| subdesign | DarwinSurvivor, thats ok i dont use skype :) | 06:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | and that's mainly because skype doesn't know how to run a PPA at *all* | 06:21 |
| KM0201 | DarwinSurvivor: skype works fine in 64bit. | 06:22 |
| KM0201 | at least it does for me | 06:22 |
| csgeek | nah.. skype and flash work for me... or as well as those tools ever did on linux | 06:22 |
| csgeek | well.. skype hasn't had an update in what feels like years | 06:23 |
| antnash | hey guys. I was running a release upgrade via ssh and got disconnected at the point where you choose whether to keep your current sources list or not. It all seems to have upgraded fine and is working ok, but is there some way I can get back to that point in the upgrade and continue from there? | 06:23 |
| KM0201 | csgeek: well, thats a big difference from saying it doesn't work because skype doesn't know how to run a PPA. | 06:23 |
| Terminus_ | you can forget about the skype client entirely and connect to skype via SIP but i dunno how well that works. | 06:23 |
| csgeek | antnash, I think the install start ssh on a different port as well... | 06:24 |
| KM0201 | Terminus_: isn't skype for SIP still in beta as well? | 06:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: just last week someone was in here because the skype PPA tried replacing core ubuntu libraries with incompatible ones | 06:24 |
| csgeek | I didn't even realize skype had a PPA | 06:24 |
| csgeek | I just grab the binary from their website | 06:25 |
| Terminus_ | KM0201: yeah... AFAIK, it's still in beta. | 06:25 |
| csgeek | or not.. wait.. nvm.. apt-get install skype is what I usually do | 06:25 |
| KM0201 | DarwinSurvivor: there was an issue w/ that during the beta of 12.04... it was breaking a lot of systems, it should be fully resolved now. | 06:25 |
| antnash | csgeek, it opens up another ssh port, but I tried that and it just logged in as normal and said reboot required, same as port 22 | 06:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: oh, so it *is* finally in the repos! last time i used skype on ubuntu it was still PPA-only | 06:25 |
| csgeek | antnash, okay... did you screen -ls | 06:25 |
| csgeek | the installer run in a screen session | 06:25 |
| csgeek | you can re-attach to it | 06:25 |
| lanaya | doese skype hold video conversation in linux? | 06:25 |
| csgeek | lanaya, yeah.. but I prefer G+ these days | 06:26 |
| antnash | csgeek, ah, no. And I've just rebooted... oops | 06:26 |
| csgeek | well.... you could have gotten in that way | 06:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lanaya: skype video runs fine on my arch system, haven't tried my ubuntu system yet (my arch is what I use at meetings) | 06:26 |
| lanaya | csgeek, what is G+, can i have an link;) | 06:26 |

| Terminus_ | so, anybody besides me having trouble with getting winbind to work properly on 12.04? | 06:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lanaya: it does require a binary-blob browser extension in firefox (which appearse to *always* run). | 06:27 |
| csgeek | same for chrome... but I still found it more stable over all then skype | 06:27 |
| csgeek | just my opinion though.. try it out and see for yourself | 06:28 |

| dotblank | oh god, multiarch really is a pain | 06:32 |

| frogboy | ok | 06:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | then click on one of the nautilus windows | 06:46 |
| frogboy | that workd | 06:46 |
| frogboy | thanks, DarwinSurvivor | 06:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | do NOT click on ANYTHING else until the scull icon is gone! | 06:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | frogboy: if it happens again, please come back so we can find the root of the problem | 06:47 |
| frogboy | DarwinSurvivor: ok. thank you so much. | 06:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | frogboy: also consider filing a bug report, *especially* if you figure out how to reproduce it! | 06:47 |
| frogboy | DarwinSurvivor: yes, good idea. | 06:47 |
| csgeek | On a side note.. I figured out my issue.. stupidly... I forgot to mention it was a wireless keyboard | 06:49 |
| frogboy | hi, everyone. some folders can't be copied or compressed due to "permissions" | 06:49 |
| frogboy | how can i change the permission, at least for now | 06:49 |
| frogboy | ? | 06:49 |
| csgeek | http://askubuntu.com/questions/131736/installing-ubuntu-12-04-on-imac-21-5-using-wireless-keyboard this seems related.. I guess bluetooth isn't loaded during the install | 06:49 |
| antnash | Hey csgeek. I rebooted my interrupted upgrade and now my keyboard/mouse won't react at all. The keyboard's got power cos I can turn caps/numlock on/off. And hints? | 06:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: a wireless keyboard would *definitely* have the ability to cause issues! | 06:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | frogboy: do you know which files/folders are the problem? | 06:51 |
| comradeandrew | Hey everyone! | 06:51 |
| csgeek | alright.. so fix is to go buy a new cheap kbd | 06:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | csgeek: a cheap usb keyboard is *always* a good thing to have a spare of :) | 06:52 |
| frogboy | DarwinSurvivor: yes, wordpress-content/themes | 06:52 |
| csgeek | antnash, kbd and mouse.. especially wired ones not working is pretty impressive.. I mean it's hard to break something so rudimentary | 06:52 |
| comradeandrew | I have a quick general question. I have an ATI 5570 GDDR5 video card, and before 12.04, after I installed the drivers everything would lag. | 06:52 |
| comradeandrew | Anyone know if this has been fixed? | 06:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | frogboy: do you know if it's a permissions or ownership issue? | 06:53 |
| antnash | csgeek, mouse isn't wired, but keyboard is. ctrl alt del ain't responding | 06:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | comradeandrew: best way to find out is to run the live-cd and see if it's working better | 06:53 |
| csgeek | antnash, but ssh + ping work? | 06:53 |
| csgeek | ie. box isn't locked up? | 06:53 |
| sacarlson | is there any offline bbcode text editors for ubuntu or linux or a method to convert odt to bbcode? | 06:54 |
| comradeandrew | DarwinSurvivor I have no lag with the video card drivers not installed, do you think it's best if I just leave it like this? I've heard nothing but problems from the 5000 series ATI card. | 06:54 |
| frogboy | DarwinSurvivor: in the Permmissions tab, it says "you are not the owner, so you cannot change the permssions" | 06:54 |
| ggochev1 | sudo chmod | 06:55 |
| csgeek | use the CLI to change permissions | 06:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !permissions | frogboy this may help you | 06:55 |
| ubottu | frogboy this may help you: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 06:55 |
| antnash | csgeek: ssh doesn't work, none of my web services are responding | 06:56 |
| csgeek | awhh.. skipped right over the binary / octal notation | 06:57 |
| frogboy | DarwinSurvivor: yikes, more reading than i want. i think i'll just become sudo naituls, copy the folders i need, and change permissions for the new copies | 06:57 |
| csgeek | antnash, then its not a keyboard issue.. its your machine is throwing a tantrum | 06:58 |
| csgeek | boot off a live cd and try to get into a rescue mode... | 06:58 |
| antnash | Yeah, that was my thought. Downloading now | 06:59 |

| jetboyjetgirl | how would I go about changing my driver for a printer I have connected in ubuntu linux? | 06:59 |

| csgeek | antnash, you can try mounting your Linux OS, chroot and re-starting the upgrade | 06:59 |
| frogboy | DarwinSurvivor: u mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions#chmod_with_Numbers ? | 06:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | frogboy: only root can change the owner. why is stuff on your website owned by multiple users...? | 06:59 |
| frogboy | DarwinSurvivor: i don't know. i think it's a wordpress thing | 07:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | frogboy: yes, just read the stuff *above* that and you'll have a good idea of what to do | 07:00 |

| DarwinSurvivor | gamer123: "open source" does not mean "will work anywhere". you will NEED to contact the game developers and ask THEM if it will work. we have absolutely NO idea how the game was written so it may use linux-only networking or something | 07:28 |
| Boohbah | gamer123: please learn more about how computers work and then come back | 07:29 |
| gamer123 | if language C or C++ its mean crossplatform | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | gamer123: stop. | 07:29 |
| gamer123 | crossplatform language | 07:29 |
| llutz_ | meco: do a " sudo swapoff -a" before and easier to use "dd... bs=1M count=512" | 07:29 |
| thomaspr | gamer123 is drunk ? | 07:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gamer123: no, it *absolutely* does not. I have a diploma in computer systems and have WRITTEN c AND c++ applications that 100% will NOT compile on other operating systems | 07:29 |

| Hyperbyte | We don't know either! Ask the Boson developers! | 07:30 |
| Myrtti | not here | 07:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gamer123: then you need to talk to the people that wrote the game, because we don't know either | 07:30 |
| gamer123 | http://boson.sourceforge.net/contact.php | 07:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gamer123: yes, that is the page you need to use to get help | 07:31 |
| gamer123 | they write go to KDE channel | 07:31 |
| gamer123 | but on KDE channels only bots | 07:31 |
| chu | be patient. | 07:31 |
| Myrtti | alright, moving on | 07:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gamer123: no, they say to use the #boson channel on the irc.kde.org server. | 07:31 |
| Talisman`Work | feh, gamer123 thinks that everyone is a bot... | 07:31 |
| Talisman`Work | gamer123 not everyone that doesn't answer you is a bot. | 07:32 |
| thomaspr | gamer123: So use the #boson channel on the irc.kde.org server !!! | 07:32 |
| gamer123 | wheer can get email of develper? | 07:32 |
| KM0201 | lol | 07:32 |
| thomaspr | in the help/info | 07:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gamer123: boson-devel@lists.sourceforge.net | 07:32 |
| Talisman`Work | gamer123 did you look in the source code? | 07:32 |
| llutz_ | meco: to check any active swap-space, use "swapon -s". mount won't give any info on it | 07:32 |
| PasswordIsntHAMS | hey guys, this is stupid but I'm looking for an IRC channel about web design, or a tutorial about it | 07:33 |
| * KM0201 thinks sourceforge is down at the moment (at least all the sourceforge forums are) | 07:33 | |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: please pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab, that *should* show where your swap is located | 07:33 |
| Boohbah | PasswordIsntHAMS: ##web | 07:33 |
| meco | OK, now I have the right swap size. How do I lock it in so that it remains between boots? | 07:33 |
| gamer123 | how paly in boson on Windows? | 07:33 |
| gamer123 | help please | 07:33 |
| llutz_ | meco: add it to /etc/fstab | 07:33 |
| gl17ch | I have a question, am i in the right channel for tha | 07:33 |
| KM0201 | PasswordIsntHAMS: no dumber than coming here and asking questions about windows programming..lol | 07:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: is it a file or a partition? | 07:34 |
| PasswordIsntHAMS | Boohbah: thanks, I hope your children grow tall and strong | 07:34 |
| Ben64 | gl17ch: if it is about ubuntu, this is the right channel | 07:34 |
| llutz_ | meco:add a line like " /swapfile none swap sw 0 0" | 07:34 |
| PasswordIsntHAMS | holy shit ##web is dead | 07:34 |
| KM0201 | back again? | 07:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: also notes that the swapfile will grow to what-ever size it needs to, so it doesn't really have a set "size" | 07:35 |
| Ben64 | PasswordIsntHAMS: watch the language here | 07:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !language | PasswordIsntHAMS | 07:35 |

| PasswordIsntHAMS | sorry sir | 07:35 |
| llutz_ | DarwinSurvivor: swap-files are to have a fixed (maximum) size | 07:35 |
| meco | Here's my current /etc/fstab: http://pastebin.com/3Nvf426i | 07:35 |
| gl17ch | I want to make a ubuntu server. I have a pile of pata HDD. I would like to do a RAID 1. can this be done without a pci raid adapter | 07:35 |
| llutz_ | DarwinSurvivor: they aren't dynamically growing | 07:35 |
| KM0201 | gl17ch: you can use a software raid.. it's quite easy | 07:36 |
| add1ctus | I can't turn Bluetooth on in Bluetooth settings and I can't manage to see it in hcitool dev also, but the Bluetooth icon appears whenever I plug it in (USB Bluetooth). Any help? | 07:36 |
| agronholm | gl17ch: you can combine just about any devices with software raid | 07:36 |
| agronholm | even from different types of controllers | 07:36 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: I'm still not knowing whther it's a file or a partition... | 07:36 |
| llutz_ | meco:the swap line has to look like this " /swapfile none swap sw 0 0" | 07:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: it looks like you have *both* a swap partition AND swap file. | 07:36 |
| itsnotworking | I just installed ubuntu-desktop on my xubuntu installation. when I log into the Ubuntu session, it looks like this: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/Screenshotfrom20120508093141c7e78f8djpg.jpg | 07:36 |
| llutz_ | meco: it is a FILE | 07:37 |
| KM0201 | gl17ch: what do you want to use your server for, if you don't mind me asking | 07:37 |
| meco | llutz: OK, so '/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' needs to change to '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' ? | 07:38 |
| gl17ch | okay. and i can hook them up with the standard ribbon cables, correct? | 07:38 |
| llutz_ | meco: as i told you twice, yes | 07:38 |
| meco | llutz says it's a file, DarwinSurvivor say it's both... | 07:38 |
| llutz_ | meco: then run "sudo swapon -a" and check "swapon -s" if all swap is activated | 07:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: it's not both, you have 2 swaps, one of each | 07:38 |
| KM0201 | gl17ch: thats a hardware issue.. but yes, a software raid is based on software, it doesn't care how the drives are connected, so long as they are, and can be read | 07:38 |
| meco | If it's both I'm probably wasting a lot of space... | 07:38 |
| gl17ch | I would like to use it primarily for storage, and maybe stream to a mobile device | 07:38 |
| llutz_ | meco: /swapfile is a file, you also seem to have a swap-partition | 07:38 |
| === shinobi is now known as mobius420 | ||
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: the swap partition will always use the same amount of space (you will need to use gparted to find out how much) | 07:39 |
| meco | Which one should I drop then? | 07:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: the swap file will use as much space as it needs (starts small, then grows as required) | 07:39 |
| llutz_ | meco: the file | 07:39 |
| llutz_ | DarwinSurvivor: no it won't grow | 07:39 |
| KM0201 | gl17ch: see your PM | 07:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: find out how big the partition is. it's the hardest to get rid of and may be big enough that you don't need another one | 07:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: oopes llutz_ is correct, the file will not auto-resize (i must have been thinking of ramdisk) | 07:42 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: /dev/sda6/ is linux-swap and is 462MB | 07:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: ok, and how much total swap would you like? | 07:43 |
| add1ctus | I can't turn Bluetooth on in Bluetooth settings and I can't manage to see it in hcitool dev also, but the Bluetooth icon appears whenever I plug it in (USB Bluetooth). Any help? | 07:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | note: if you plan to use hibernate, your swap partition must be at *least* as big as your ram | 07:43 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: 512MB I think would be fine | 07:43 |
| tm24fan8 | i'm having seriously slow wifi speed on ubuntu 12.04 on a dell inspiron 1545 with a broadcom wireless adapter, and none of the info i can find on the internet seems to work. any info here? | 07:43 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: Nope, no hibernate. | 07:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: also note that hibernate currently does not work with swap files, only swap partitions | 07:44 |
| antnash | Hey guys. How do I find out why my system keeps beeping? | 07:44 |
| fatface | how can i pause IRC for now? | 07:44 |
| vlt | Hello. After upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 the first reboot and log in worked well, but now I can’t log in anymore. What to check first? | 07:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: well, 462MB is pretty close to 512MB, is that enough for you? | 07:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fatface: pause irc? | 07:44 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: I guess so. Then I just need to kille the swapfile, right? | 07:45 |
| fatface | DarwinSurvivor: not get any text until i unpause | 07:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: pretty much. first use swapoff to make sure it's not being used, then remove the entry from fstab and delete the old swap file | 07:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fatface: you can just scroll up 1 line (xchat will only autoscroll if you are at the bottom), the just slowly scroll down when you get back | 07:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | *then just scroll down | 07:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: can you verify that it is only the 1 computer on the network having issues? | 07:46 |
| tm24fan8 | it is. and what's more, the same computer running Windows has normal speeds. | 07:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: what speeds are you expecting, and what speeds are you getting? | 07:47 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: OK, and where do I find the old swapfile to be deleted? | 07:47 |
| Stelpa | hey | 07:48 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: i can usually download from repos around 1,800 mbps, this computer only gets maybe 115 right now | 07:48 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 536870912 May 8 09:35 swapfile ? | 07:48 |
| Stelpa | I would like to emulate ubuntu while in ubuntu using virtualbox (don't ask, lol) | 07:48 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: using same mirrors on all comps as well | 07:48 |
| Stelpa | Is an ubuntu image kept on the computer? | 07:49 |
| Stelpa | Or will I have to download a seperate image? | 07:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Stelpa: you can use the same iso you used for the regular install, but virtualbox WILL create a virtaul harddrive for the "emulated" system | 07:49 |
| Talisman`Work | so... Can someone help for me with Ubuntu 12.04 - which I've upgraded from 11.10 - It has broken vmware player and synergy. | 07:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Stelpa: and running ubuntu in a virtualbox running in ubuntu isn't actually that uncommon :P | 07:50 |
| meco | OK, I think I have it cleared now. I'm rebooting. | 07:50 |
| Stelpa | DarwinSurvivor: what i'm asking is where the iso is kept? | 07:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: ok, good luck! | 07:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Stelpa: virtualbox does not create an iso, it uses a different format for storing the virtual hardrive, it uses a .vdi file | 07:51 |
| === Tiktalik is now known as SleepingTik | ||
| Stelpa | i didn't "put" the iso anywhere, i'd like to know where to find it | 07:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Stelpa: the .iso is only used (as a virtual cd-rom) at install time | 07:51 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: correcting what i just realized was a typo, i meant 1,800 Kbps vs 115...not mbps...boy would that be nice lol | 07:51 |
| killerstorm | hi. Is there a tool which can draw a memory usage pie chart or something like that? I'm curious where my memory goes. | 07:51 |
| Stelpa | DarwinSurvivor: so, is the ubuntu iso kept after initial install anywhere? | 07:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: ok, let me look something up | 07:52 |
| Stelpa | or will i have to use the cd? | 07:52 |
| fidel_ | killerstorm: personaly i love htop for such things | 07:52 |
| Talisman`Work | OK, I'll ask later again. | 07:52 |
| fidel_ | but thats not a pie-chart at all ;) | 07:52 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: roger that | 07:52 |
| Stelpa | i dont want to have to download the iso again, or take it off the disk | 07:52 |
| orca | Hey everyone, I've got exactly $221 dollars laying around. Would you know any really useful things to buy, besides nootropics? | 07:52 |
| Stelpa | is it anywhere on my harddrive now? | 07:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: please run http://speedtest.net to see if it is your connection or something on ubuntu's end | 07:53 |
| tm24fan8 | i ran it, got around the same speeds i was getting trying to download software from repos | 07:53 |
| killerstorm | fidel_: I use htop too, but only half of memory is spent on large stuff, the rest is 'assorted crap', it seems. I wonder how much is in this assorted crap. | 07:53 |
| PasswordIsntHAMS | orca: silkroad is your best bet | 07:54 |
| llutz_ | orca: Do you have any ubuntu support related question? | 07:54 |
| PasswordIsntHAMS | you could get like 10 grams of ketamine | 07:54 |
| Stanley00 | Stelpa: you have to download the iso, and please don't use enter like that way | 07:54 |
| orca | What is silkroad? | 07:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: can you plug the laptop into the wired ethernet and try it again? | 07:54 |
| PasswordIsntHAMS | ...never mind | 07:54 |
| vishnu1983 | hi can someone help me with ubuntu software center | 07:54 |
| ikonia | vishnu1983: people will try if you explain the issue | 07:55 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: did that as well, got normal speeds | 07:55 |
| Stelpa | Stanley00: sorry, the second bit was an afterthought. | 07:55 |
| vishnu1983 | I am trying to buy Family Farm on it and everytime I submit payment information | 07:55 |
| vishnu1983 | it says that there was an error due to 3D secure | 07:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Stelpa: the .iso file (which you probably downloaded when you first installed ubuntu and then burned to a cd) is the *installer*. you can either use that original .iso file, or the cd you burned to create the virtualbox machine. the virtualbox machine's virtual harddrive will be a .vdi file inside "~/VirtualBox VMs" | 07:55 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: so it seems to be isolated to the wifi driver, in my somewhat uneducated guess...i just have no clue how to fix it | 07:55 |
| orca | The wiki turns up trade routs in the Middle east in asia, how is silkroad useful to an individual with only $221? PasswordIsntHAMS? | 07:56 |
| Stelpa | DarwinSurvivor: ahh, i see. thank you! | 07:56 |
| ikonia | vishnu1983: what country are you based in ? | 07:56 |
| Stelpa | By the way, since when has #ubuntu merged with #drugs? | 07:56 |
| vishnu1983 | India | 07:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: ok, so it's definitely something on the wireless. do you know the IP address of your router? | 07:57 |

| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: you don't appear to be connected to the wifi. is that true? | 08:13 |
| nastas | tm24fan8: can you paste in pastebin the output of lspci -nn | 08:13 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: i'm connected to wifi, that did look a little odd knowing that fact | 08:14 |
| tm24fan8 | standby | 08:14 |
| r0csteady | I want to install ubuntu from the live cd onto the hard drive. | 08:14 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady but you want to do it from commandline, yeh? | 08:14 |
| r0csteady | Yes, because I was hoping that since it's the only hard drive connected to the mother board right now --it would install automatically, but instead it failed. | 08:15 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: http://pastebin.com/ZaNYE6g7 output of lspci -nn | 08:15 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady 11.10 or 12.04? | 08:15 |
| PasswordIsntHAMS | tm24fan8: can you post the results of $(echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd -r -p) | lpsci | 08:15 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work: 10.04.02 | 08:16 |
| Talisman`Work | lol, k | 08:16 |
| marienz | tm24fan8: don't run that command | 08:16 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady give me a moment - I'm going to boot my 11.10 image into a VM and tell you if I can get the grub loader menu | 08:16 |
| nastas | tm24fan8: now could you paste lspci -vv output? | 08:16 |
| newbie_ | hi guys, trying to install 10.04 on my old machine, seems like it works then it goes blank screen and won't even start installing... any idea? | 08:17 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work++ | 08:17 |
| marienz | tm24fan8: that is: don't run the command PasswordIsntHAMS gave, it'll remove a bunch of files | 08:17 |
| vishnu1983 | nope....no luck | 08:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | |Pasha: what the hell are you doing? | 08:17 |
| r0csteady | In the meantime, I'll test the cd on a different computer to see if something is up with the image itself. | 08:17 |
| newbie_ | hi guys, trying to install 10.04 on my old machine, seems like it works then it goes blank screen and won't even start installing... any idea? the more the version is updated the more it should be compatible with different hardwares, right? | 08:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | |Pasha: sorry, wrong id | 08:18 |
| KM0201 | newbie_: specs? | 08:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | definitelynotHAM: GET OUT NOW! | 08:18 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: http://pastebin.com/mBLzxKzZ lspci -vv output | 08:18 |
| newbie_ | KM0201, as? | 08:19 |
| KM0201 | newbie_: you say you can't install 10.04, what are the specs of the machine you're trying to install it on | 08:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ikonia: thank you | 08:19 |
| KM0201 | hmm, guess i missed something... | 08:20 |
| * KM0201 scrolls up | 08:20 | |
| newbie_ | KM0201, ok give me a sec | 08:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | if ANYONE ran the command PasswordIsntHAMS, please say so, that command deletes ALL non-hidden files/folders in the current directory | 08:20 |
| tm24fan8 | sorry last link was to marienz http://pastebin.com/mBLzxKzZ | 08:20 |
| AdvoWork | hi there, im trying to work on a router, ive plugged it directly into a laptop, turned wireless of, it used to be 0.4 but that doesnt work. any idea how I can identify the ip the router is on, now its directly connected to the laptop? tried nmap -sP 192.168.0.0-255 but it doesnt work | 08:21 |
| Taev | im at the Ubuntu installation type menu, I have a RAID 0 set up on 2 drives, but it says "unknown" for both, how do i get it to recognize its the / partition for my previous ubuntu install? | 08:21 |
| vishnu1983 | alright thanks for all the help you could give, ikonia | 08:21 |
| vishnu1983 | bye | 08:21 |
| tm24fan8 | lol DarwinSurvivor i did, but it was in my home folder and this is a fairly new system so i didn't lose much | 08:21 |
| ikonia | Taev: what type of raid was it ? | 08:21 |
| Taev | raid 0 | 08:21 |
| ikonia | Taev: hardware/software/fake | 08:21 |
| marienz | tm24fan8: you probably do want to talk to DarwinSurvivor, not me (I only showed up to deal with that malicious command, I haven't been following your problem) | 08:21 |
| Taev | i used ubuntu to set it up | 08:22 |
| ikonia | marienz: and a good spot it was (thank you) | 08:22 |
| nastas | tm24fan8: is wl module loaded? i mean try typing sudo modprobe wl | 08:22 |
| vishnu1983 | \disconnet | 08:22 |
| tm24fan8 | marienz: ah gotcha | 08:22 |
| vishnu1983 | \disconnect | 08:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: i don't need that output. | 08:22 |
| ikonia | Taev: I'm assuming it was software then ? | 08:22 |
| Taev | aye | 08:22 |
| vlt | ikonia: My syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/975276/ | 08:22 |
| tm24fan8 | nastas: wl module is loaded, that was part of another tutorial i read that didn't work lol | 08:22 |
| marienz | ikonia: meh, should've banforwarded them off the first time around though. I blame it on still catching up with lastlog when I noticed | 08:22 |
| ikonia | Taev: depending on what type of software setup it is, you may need ot manually start the array to see it | 08:22 |
| vlt | ikonia: l857: GPU lockup. | 08:22 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work: It's taking me a min because I'm setting up a keyboard and monitor on a diff computer to test the cd. | 08:23 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady no worries - I'm busy building the VM hardware | 08:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: does your router broadcast a name, or is it hidden? | 08:25 |
| nastas | tm24fan8: what is your nm-applet shows? is it shows available networks? | 08:25 |
| Nis | Good morning all :) Does anybody have some time to help me get my server up and running again? It won't boot. | 08:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nastas: he says he can connect, but it's *slow* | 08:25 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: it's hidden...i live in a crowded apartment complex and was trying to not deal with neighbors trying to get access | 08:26 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: also WPA2 encrypted | 08:26 |
| r0csteady | Cool! | 08:26 |
| Ben64 | DarwinSurvivor: how does that delete non hidden files | 08:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: if you are using wpa2 with a decent password, there's no need to hide it. if someone can crack even wep, they'll be using tools that show hidden ones anyways | 08:26 |
| gunouille | ddos | 08:27 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor: i could potentially unhide it, do you think that's the speed problem? | 08:27 |
| llutz_ | Ben64: the hexstring is a reverted "rm -rf *" which xxd print put on commandline and execute | 08:27 |
| amanATdesk | hi | 08:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Ben64: NOBODY RUN THE FOLLOWING!!! "rm -rf *" does not delete hidden files/folders since "*" does not include ".*" | 08:27 |
| Ben64 | llutz: really? wow | 08:28 |
| amanATdesk | not sure if this is the correct channel for this, but I have a programming/scripting query... | 08:28 |
| xtu | hi, how can i transcode the rmvb file into mkv file in ubuntu? | 08:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amanATdesk: just ask, if it's the wrong place, we'll tell you | 08:28 |
| amanATdesk | DarwinSurvivor, k | 08:28 |
| r0csteady | I tried the cd on a diff computer and it went straight to the bios when I hit the DEL key. | 08:29 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work^^ | 08:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: your signal/noise seems rather high. what channel is your router running on? | 08:29 |
| r0csteady | When I hit 'e' it loads ubuntu. Strange. | 08:29 |
| cyphase | anyone else ever lose gnome-terminal windows to compiz? meaning, they're not accessible anymore, apart from Alt-Tabbing to them (sometimes), and they only reappear when compiz is manually restarted | 08:29 |
| amanATdesk | How would you go about creating an algorithm to match (and highlight) "matching bracket" pairs... including situations of nested brackets and of multiple sets of brackets, side-by-side? | 08:29 |
| r0csteady | ...I'll keep working. | 08:30 |
| === gunouille is now known as rtfm | ||
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor, channel 11 | 08:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: if you are in a crowded location, do NOT use channel 6 as it is the default on almost every router sold | 08:30 |
| === rtfm is now known as Guest12038 | ||
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: I think 11 is the default for the others, let me look it up | 08:30 |
| === Guest12038 is now known as gunuille | ||
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady with 11.10, at the main boot screen, you can add in boot options... | 08:30 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor, changed it from 6 due to so many other people around here, if 11 is other default i can change it | 08:31 |
| cyphase | amanATdesk, if i understand you correctly, you could use a stack. push on for an open bracket, pop off for a closed bracket | 08:31 |
| amanATdesk | cyphase, how would you go about highlighting the pairs though? | 08:31 |
| r0csteady | Is that the bios? | 08:31 |
| Talisman`Work | no, when you boot into the CD/DVD | 08:31 |
| cyphase | amanATdesk, that depends where you're highlighting them | 08:31 |
| cyphase | amanATdesk, GTK window, QT window, terminal, etc | 08:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tm24fan8: run "iwlist scan | grep Channel\:" to see what channels the other routers are using, the pick a rare one :D | 08:32 |
| amanATdesk | cyphase, I'm thinking for the purposes of a web script, highlighting code and clarifying stuff such as messed up brackets. | 08:32 |
| amanATdesk | php most likely. | 08:32 |
| tm24fan8 | DarwinSurvivor, all i get is "interface doesn't support scanning | 08:33 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady I'm just trying something... sec... | 08:33 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work: ok.. me too. | 08:33 |
| cyphase | amanATdesk, i don't know. highlighting is quite platform defendant | 08:34 |
| cyphase | dependent* | 08:34 |
| amanATdesk | cyphase, if I've got the stack method correct, it would simply give you a '0' at the end to confirm that there are an equal amount of ( as there are ) within any given string/textfile? | 08:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amanATdesk: you don't even need a stack, just a counter. +1 for ( and -1 for ). Then assing a color to each number (repeating if necessary). | 08:36 |
| amanATdesk | it won't really tell you if they are in the correct order, say a ( before a ) and no ())... | 08:36 |
| cyphase | amanATdesk, if you only want to know if there's an equal amount, all you need is a counter | 08:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amanATdesk: if at any time the counter is less than 0, then the brackets are invalid | 08:37 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady you can get to a cmdline boot prompt by pressing esc at the 11.10 disk boot menu | 08:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amanATdesk: other than that, all you need is a 0 at the end :) | 08:37 |
| Talisman`Work | I suppose you could boot the specific kernel options there. | 08:37 |
| Jordan_U | amanATdesk: There are many existing libraries for highlighting php, some undoubtedly written in php itself. Try asking in ##php for specifics. | 08:37 |
| hanning | does anyone know of a way to check the access time of my hdd? i couldn't find anything like that for hdparm | 08:37 |
| alankila | hanning: "access time". You mean the average seek period? | 08:37 |
| amanATdesk | DarwinSurvivor, hmm, I don't follow how the counter alone would work for the purposes of highlighting syntactically correct/incorrect bracketing. | 08:38 |
| hanning | uhm the time it takes to access the data, usually measured in ms | 08:38 |
| amanATdesk | Jordan_U, I'm trying to understand how it would work... it's just something that I'm curious about and want to understand. | 08:38 |
| alankila | hanning: well it has to be benchmarked or read off the product sheet, it's not written down into the hardware api | 08:39 |
| Nis | Does anybody know what I should do to fix a: "init: mountall main process (2396) killed by ABRT signal"? | 08:39 |
| alankila | hanning: and it also depends on how the data is scattered on the disk, short seeks are faster to do than long ones | 08:39 |
| hanning | alankila: yes, i am looking for a way to benchmark it | 08:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alankila: most hdd manufacturers have specs for all their harddrives. of course those are "laboratory test" results, so real world results may vary (just like *any* marketing numbers) | 08:39 |
| Jordan_U | amanATdesk: That's off topic for this channel, but ##programming is probably a good place. | 08:40 |
| amanATdesk | I had this idea for two arrays - one for ( and one for ) - with position in string and count number. Then I figured that it was too complicated and cumbersome, then I just wanted to understand how things like this work in general (say gedit for example)... | 08:40 |
| alankila | DarwinSurvivor: yes, which is why I think benchmarking is the right way to go about it | 08:40 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work: Strange. I'm on a diff computer and now it wants to automatically go into the interface that gives me the option to install or try ubuntu. | 08:40 |
| alankila | maybe a bonnie++ test with # of seeks per second gives some kind of measure of it | 08:40 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady strange indeed | 08:40 |
| amanATdesk | Jordan_U, k I'll go ask there, it's been bugging me all through the night :| | 08:40 |
| Elotero | Gry you faggot! Thanks to your cheating I now have fucking warts on my dick! I told you! When I find your punk ass, I am going to take a cialis and smoke meth before fucking your god damn bitch ass raw until it is overflowing with semen... alll night long baby. That will teach you to cheat on me and get me infected! | 08:40 |
| r0csteady | It's ok.. I am at least learning more about ubuntu. | 08:40 |
| hanning | alankila: i am looking for something like this on linux: http://www.chip.de/ii/3/4/1/9/7/4/1/e3777ed56bb4d487.jpg | 08:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alankila: phronix does lots of benchmarking and usually says what software they use, check their website for suggestions | 08:41 |
| amanATdesk | thanks DarwinSurvivor, cyphase and Jordan_U | 08:41 |
| Jordan_U | amanATdesk: You're welcome. | 08:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !language | Elotero | 08:41 |
| ubottu | Elotero: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 08:41 |
| alankila | hanning: well, I don't know of nice software like that personally. | 08:41 |
| cyphase | amanATdesk, you're welcome | 08:42 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work: This time I'm in the grub. | 08:42 |
| r0csteady | Just like you said before, it finally gave me the option to press 'e' to edit commands. | 08:42 |
| hanning | alankila: ok, thanks anyway :) | 08:42 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady cool bananas | 08:43 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work++ Derpin over the net! | 08:43 |
| Talisman`Work | you should be able to add nox on the end of the boot option to make it go to command line when it's done booting. | 08:43 |
| Talisman`Work | lol | 08:43 |
| amanATdesk | on a more relevant note, I am having some problems with Apache2 lately; I don't know exactly what triggered it but, the apache2 daemon doesn't load automatically at boot up of Ubuntu (12.04). Everything works fine after I go into terminal and start it up, but I can't understand why it's stopped autoloading. | 08:44 |
| Talisman`Work | let me try my question again :-) | 08:44 |
| alankila | hanning: it wouldn't be very hard to write something like that though. The basic data gathering doesn't strike as very difficult to me. | 08:44 |
| r0csteady | Thanks!!! | 08:44 |
| Talisman`Work | Can someone help for me with Ubuntu 12.04 - which I've upgraded from 11.10 - It has broken vmware player and synergy. | 08:44 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady you're welcome :-) | 08:44 |
| Talisman`Work | vmware player simply cannot build the vmnet module, and synergy randomly breaks when I press certain modifier keys | 08:45 |

| nibalizer | do you have linux-headers installed? | 08:50 |
| Talisman`Work | nibalizer yes, both of them | 08:51 |
| Talisman`Work | nibalizer afaik, I do... since I installed vmplayer on 11.10 | 08:52 |

| Osxy | I'm trying to download Unbuntu desktop onto an OSX box but the disk images are unmoutable | 08:56 |
| niko | .14 | 08:56 |
| Osxy | I've downloaded it twice | 08:56 |
| dr_willis | Osxy: why are you mounting them? | 08:56 |
| nibalizer | Osxy: you want to burn to a CD or use a USB drive | 08:56 |
| dr_willis | Osxy: verify the md5sum of the iso files. to show if it was a good download. | 08:57 |
| nastas | Osxy: did you try disk utility? | 08:57 |
| Osxy | ok | 08:57 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work: I think you need to uninstall vmplayer | 08:57 |
| Talisman`Work | nibalizer, /tmp/vmnet-only/userif.c:520:3: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of ‘kmap’ | 08:57 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady, been there done that | 08:57 |
| Talisman`Work | several times | 08:57 |
| r0csteady | and then reinstall it on your new ubuntu version. Reboot. | 08:57 |
| Osxy | DU - yes | 08:57 |
| r0csteady | Hmm... | 08:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Talisman`Work: did you do a purge to remove obsolete settings? | 08:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Talisman`Work: apt-get purge | 08:58 |
| === violinappren is now known as Guest93842 | ||
| Osxy | I'll follow the instructions for making a bootable device but I was hoping to run it under Virtualbox | 08:58 |
| nibalizer | Osxy: in that case you create a virtualbox guest, then click settings | 08:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Osxy: oh, an ubuntu GUEST, that's very different | 08:59 |
| Talisman`Work | DarwinSurvivor no I didn't... let me try that, thanks. | 08:59 |
| nibalizer | then attach storage, then point that at the iso | 08:59 |
| dr_willis | Osxy: read the vbox docs. you dont need to mount it in osx.. | 08:59 |
| Osxy | ok thanks | 08:59 |
| Talisman`Work | DarwinSurvivor, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. | 08:59 |
| r0csteady | DarwinSurvivor: You reminded me. I had the same error when I installed postgresql, and had to uninstall it, and then do apt-get purge and reboot and it fixed my problem. | 08:59 |
| dr_willis | Osxy: you atatch it IN vbox to the emulated optical drive | 08:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nibalizer: Osxy: actually, virtualbox will now ASK you on first boot if you have boot-media to use, no need to do it ahead of time anymore :) | 08:59 |
| Talisman`Work | hmm.. let me do that r0csteady - uninstall, purge, reboot, reinstall | 09:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Osxy: just create the new virtualbox machine, then start it. it should ask you for boot media, just hit browse and select the iso | 09:00 |
| r0csteady | Could try both. | 09:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Osxy: after that, it's just a regular installation (but in a window) | 09:01 |
| Osxy | ok that all makes sense, surprised I didn't think of it myself :D | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | wonder how well unity3d works in vbox these days.. it used to have issues | 09:01 |

| dr_willis | i thought pogoplug had native linux stuff.. | 09:10 |
| Talisman`Work | nibalizer thanks anyway :-) | 09:10 |
| dr_willis | because it is running linux On the plug i thought | 09:10 |
| invinciblemutant | no, it hasnt got something similar | 09:10 |
| invinciblemutant | it allows mounting of pogoplug drive | 09:10 |
| invinciblemutant | i am now looking for a solution to sync across drives | 09:11 |
| r0csteady | http://communities.vmware.com/thread/334673 | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | across what drives? | 09:11 |
| r0csteady | This is what I'm looking at.. but may come to nothing. | 09:11 |
| invinciblemutant | something like personal dropbox | 09:11 |
| fidel_ | invinciblemutant: owncloud? sparkleshare? | 09:11 |
| invinciblemutant | personal cloud | 09:11 |
| Ben64 | buy a server? | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | if the linux box can access the pogoplug drives. it can share them | 09:11 |
| invinciblemutant | with low power consuming devices | 09:11 |
| fidel_ | invinciblemutant: those 2 i mentioned are available products for self-hosting | 09:11 |
| invinciblemutant | owncloud and sparkleshare? | 09:12 |
| invinciblemutant | do they sync instantaneously | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | im totally lost on how this was related to rrunning os-x binaries on linux. ;) | 09:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: depending on what you are sharing the data with, you can also use a combination of nfs, samba and a streamer such as mediatomb. | 09:12 |
| fidel_ | dr_willis: good point | 09:12 |
| fidel_ | invinciblemutant: yes those 2 i mentioned ;) | 09:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: you can also you your ubuntuOne account! | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | nothing really syncs 'instantly' ;) | 09:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !ubuntuone | invinciblemutant | 09:12 |
| ubottu | invinciblemutant: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone | 09:12 |
| invinciblemutant | your seems knowlesgeable on these services | 09:13 |
| invinciblemutant | i will explore them | 09:13 |
| dr_willis | so perhaps we should ask 'what are yoy trying to acomplish exactly?' invinciblemutant | 09:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: ubuntuone supports linux, windows, android and iWhatevers | 09:13 |
| invinciblemutant | dr_willis: I will to do something like dropbox for all my machines | 09:14 |
| dr_willis | local lan? internet? | 09:14 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I wish something free as i am not doing business, i am in academia | 09:14 |
| invinciblemutant | dr_willis: internet | 09:14 |
| dr_willis | i just tend to use ssh and sshfs :) | 09:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: first 5GB is free | 09:15 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I wish to sync all my machines via internet | 09:15 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: My machines have more than 5GB | 09:15 |
| invinciblemutant | i wish a sync mechanism | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | then you can't do it for free : / | 09:16 |
| invinciblemutant | like live mesh | 09:16 |
| dr_willis | why do they need to 'sync' if you can access the data over the intenet? | 09:16 |
| fidel_ | Ben64: depends on your definition of free ;) | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | as in beer | 09:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: please be more specific. how much are you sincing (10 GB, 2TB, etc), what devices (windows, ubuntu, mac, iPod, Boxee, PS3) and how much "lagg" is acceptable for syncing? | 09:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: also, do you want to host it yourself, or have someone *else* host it? | 09:17 |
| llutz_ | invinciblemutant: if you don't host it yourself, make sure to use good encryption | 09:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: also, do you devices have constant connections (ex: can they just read the data live instead of having their own copy?) | 09:17 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: it is for personal use, to sync all my ubuntu machine, i have about 100GB data in which i wish to sync them across all ubuntu machines | 09:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: unless you are hosting yourself, you will NOT get 100GB hosted for free | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | im still not clear on the need for syncing.. | 09:18 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I have constant internet connection | 09:18 |
| Nis | Anybody know what to do when mountall fails on boot and the drives are read-only? | 09:18 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: Yes, that is point... | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | or why ssh+rsync wont work. :) | 09:18 |
| Muelli | well. but it's not that would be many options anyway. Basically there is sparkleshare only... | 09:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !details | Nis | 09:19 |
| ubottu | Nis: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:19 |
| Nis | Can do. | 09:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: is it primarily stream-able data (movies, music) or open data (documents, photos, etc)? | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | nis id start with fscking the filesystems to verify they are in good shape | 09:19 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: i reckon i will not have much data to sync but it is a dream for me to have machines synced | 09:19 |
| invinciblemutant | all ubuntu machines | 09:20 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady I missed that link, thanks - I was on the vmware channel :-) | 09:20 |
| Talisman`Work | I'm looking for that patch right now. | 09:20 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work: Cool. | 09:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: what I do is have a separate git repo for each of my projects and clone what-ever one I'm working on currently. Big media (music, movies, etc) is hosted on an NFS share and I either stream them or copy a few to my HDD if leaving my home network) | 09:21 |
| dr_willis | invinciblemutant: just use one server, and sshfs on all the clients to access the data - is one way to get to the data. no 'syncing' needed. since you have the one copy | 09:21 |
| Nis | DarwinSurvivor: My server suddenly started not being able to boot sometimes last night. I have a console and can see two interesting messages: "Ureadahead main process terminated with status 5" and "init: mount all main process killed by ABRT signal" | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Nis: you'll need the info before then | 09:21 |
| Nis | ikonia: What should I be looking for? | 09:21 |
| r0csteady | Talisman`Work: It makes sense that things might break when upgrading ubuntu. vmware's like wat do? Hope you get a fix. | 09:21 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: dr_willis I am using dropbox for all my current projects | 09:22 |
| invinciblemutant | bu | 09:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: 1) do you have a machine at home that can be left on (as a sort of server) | 09:22 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I do | 09:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: 2) how fast is your internet connect (download AND upload)? | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Nis: the error | 09:22 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I have machine with public ip from isp though | 09:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: that's fine and easy to work around, how fast is your connection? | 09:23 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: > 1gb up down | 09:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: that's you PUBLIC speed?!? | 09:23 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: on best effort basiss | 09:23 |
| Nis | ikonia: Ah yes. Sorry. "mountall:mountall.c:3204: Assertion failed in main: udev_monitor = udev_monito_new_from_netlink (udev, "udev")" | 09:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: so if you run the test at http://speedtest.net you get over 1gb/s? | 09:24 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: Manchester University has > 20G up down i reckon...download is speedy | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Nis: ok, so keep looking you know it can't actually mount the disks, now you need to look for why | 09:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: OH, you're on a Uni network! | 09:25 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: My home in Malaysia has 5GB down, 1GB up subscribed | 09:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: hold on, is >1gb your cap or your speed? | 09:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: good lord, most home networks won't even go that fast. you're *sure* that's not mb? | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | heh - that speedtest.net url - redirected my phone browser straight to the android market.. neat trick | 09:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lol | 09:26 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: In Malaysia, it is subscribed 1GB up, 5GB down, real speed should be less for up | 09:26 |
| invinciblemutant | i reckon i can get 512 | 09:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: ok, the you may as well just stream *everything* | 09:26 |
| gunuille | malaysia is not ubuntu... | 09:26 |
| Nis | ikonia: Thanks. I'll research a bit more. | 09:26 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I am using ubuntu for all my machines | 09:26 |
| invinciblemutant | lol | 09:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | gunuille: he's trying to set up syncind and we're checking his speed | 09:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | *syncing | 09:27 |
| invinciblemutant | gunuille: what do you mean malaysia is not ubuntu | 09:27 |
| invinciblemutant | i am living abroad in the UK now | 09:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: he probably thought we were off-topic (which we were starting to be) | 09:27 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: we were talking about the solution so sync machines | 09:28 |
| walidvb | hi guys | 09:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: if you can get that speed between all your machines, you may as well just put everything on your home server, then just access it all through NFS and connect to that through an SSH tunnel (for security) | 09:28 |
| walidvb | i'm ttrying to install ubuntu as dual boot on a mac book pro | 09:29 |
| walidvb | i followed the following instructions: | 09:29 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: NFS? That is insecure, what if the tunnel disconnected? | 09:29 |
| walidvb | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1908210 | 09:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: have you ever set up network stuff before? | 09:29 |
| TvL2386 | guys, I've submitted a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/996369) but I don't know to what package this bug belongs. It's about bonding slave interfaces that don't come up on boot. Any suggestions? | 09:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 996369 in Ubuntu "bond slave interface sometimes does not come up on boot" [Undecided,New] | 09:29 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I know quite a bit of networking | 09:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !mac | walidvb | 09:30 |
| ubottu | walidvb: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 09:30 |
| walidvb | DarwinSurvivor: thanks. just one thing, at the step where i create a new mbr table, | 09:30 |
| w3bg33k | how can I add permission for someone to edit a directory/files via FTP? they currently have read access, but not edit | 09:30 |
| walidvb | gdisk says 2 things that are not mentionned: | 09:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: the NFS share would not be visible to the outside network, you would use "ssh -Lnfsport:localhost:nfsport" to make a secure connection, then just use the securely forwarded nfs port for the actual nfs connection | 09:31 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: You mean that is secure enough? | 09:32 |
| walidvb_ | DarwinSurvivor: | 09:32 |
| walidvb_ | https://gist.github.com/3cd03ec059feb5495c41 | 09:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: this way only the ssh port (which should be set up to only accept public/private key) will be visible. If your local network is shared with untrusted people, a firewall on the server should also be used | 09:32 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: That is no problem, i can get an iptables rule setup | 09:33 |
| walidvb_ | also, i had this: https://gist.github.com/2a479347b9d383b00c60 | 09:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: My home router is set up to only forward my http/https ports (public site), ssh and a few torrent ports. anything else that I need to connect to my server with is done via port-forwarding using ssh | 09:33 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: But speed between continents is still not good, I know that within the same countr, the speed is godo | 09:34 |
| invinciblemutant | good | 09:34 |
| walidvb_ | Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL | 09:34 |

| FloodBot1 | walidvb_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: that way the NFS port only has to accept connections from localhost | 09:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: well, first thing to do is a speed test between your main destinations. | 09:35 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I use dmz as i am abroad when i configure the router using teamviewer | 09:35 |
| walidvb_ | anyone knows about this? | 09:35 |
| invinciblemutant | it worry that i will mess up network, so I configure security at the ubuntu machine level | 09:35 |
| invinciblemutant | iptables to allows ssh and pptp only | 09:35 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: iptables to allow ssh and pptp only on my ubuntu, router is set to DMZ | 09:36 |

| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: Any tool to do this? | 09:37 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: i mean speedtest between this 2 machines | 09:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/426272/how-to-test-internet-connection-speed-from-command-line (petermolnar's solution should work) | 09:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: you may need to eiter open a port or use an ssh port-forward | 09:37 |

| Carpe|Diem | Is it possible to create an installer from an installed ubuntu12.04? | 09:39 |
| Carpe|Diem | Or perhaps clone it to other machines? | 09:39 |
| walidvb_ | https://gist.github.com/a4edc9101cda96fa5183 | 09:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !clone | Carpe|Diem | 09:39 |
| ubottu | Carpe|Diem: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 09:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !clone | 09:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | guess ubottu does't like |'s in names :( | 09:40 |
| Carpe|Diem | DarwinSurvivor: Thank you but however, i have a fully configured enviroment which is build up with a lot of configs | 09:40 |
| Carpe|Diem | im sure apt-get won't move my configs | 09:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Carpe|Diem: ah, ok. are they the same architecture (32 bit vs 64 bit)? | 09:40 |
| Carpe|Diem | ye | 09:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: let me know if you need help performing the test | 09:41 |
| walidvb_ | I'm trying to install ubuntu on a macbook pro, and i get the following: https://gist.github.com/8d8ca4b91a31a0f552f3 | 09:41 |

| DarwinSurvivor | Carpe|Diem: and the machines' hardware are relatively similar? | 09:41 |
| Carpe|Diem | DarwinSurvivor: Yes indeed... | 09:41 |
| Carpe|Diem | DarwinSurvivor: I was thinking about something like CloneZilla | 09:42 |
| Carpe|Diem | but thats not rly an installer tho | 09:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !mac | 09:42 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 09:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | walidvb_: did you read the above? ^ | 09:42 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I need to configure to open port for iperf | 09:42 |
| walidvb_ | DarwinSurvivor: i read quite a lot of threads | 09:42 |
| walidvb_ | yes | 09:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Carpe|Diem: then you can probably just clone the machine directly. | 09:42 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: Therefore, i need a bit of time checking my firewall | 09:42 |
| Carpe|Diem | DarwinSurvivor: okay fine | 09:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: just use an ssh port-forward then (you have ssh open right?) | 09:43 |
| Talisman`Work | r0csteady I've d/l'd the latest vmplayer - hopefully they've fixed it. | 09:43 |
| Carpe|Diem | DarwinSurvivor: but than how to people make Ubuntu installers? Isn't there a framework for that? I wanted to start my own mini-mini-distro | 09:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Carpe|Diem: yes there is, give me a sec to find the link | 09:43 |
| walidvb_ | DarwinSurvivor: these are the instructions I followed | 09:43 |
| auronandace | walidvb_: backups are awesome (hint hint) | 09:44 |
| invinciblemutant | yes | 09:44 |
| walidvb_ | I just need confirmation on one step | 09:44 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: ssh -Lnfsport:localhost:22 ??? | 09:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Carpe|Diem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization may help | 09:44 |
| walidvb_ | auronandace: yes, but i'm on a project and i don't really have time to go back and forth between backups, that's why I ask like this ^^ | 09:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: ok, then just run the command on the server as if the port *was* open | 09:44 |
| walidvb_ | but, so... nobody knows. | 09:45 |
| auronandace | walidvb_: then if you don't backup, you don't value your data | 09:45 |
| walidvb_ | i guess I'll have to go with a backup, then.. | 09:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: then run "ssh servers_ip_address -L65000:localhost:65000" | 09:45 |
| Carpe|Diem | DarwinSurvivor: Thanks a lot | 09:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: then run "ssh servers_ip_address -L65000:localhost:65000" on the cliennt | 09:45 |
| Carpe|Diem | I'll have a look at that | 09:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: then run "ssh servers_ip_address -L65000:localhost:65000" on the client | 09:45 |
| walidvb_ | auronandace: i do, trust me, and i do do backups. but if i can avoid wasting 4hours restoring a backup it would be great | 09:45 |
| auronandace | walidvb_: there is always risks included when altering partitions | 09:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: then in a NEW terminal on the client run the ipref's client command | 09:45 |
| walidvb_ | auronandace: do you know, though, if this means that the partition WILL be overwritten, as in erased? | 09:46 |
| auronandace | walidvb_: that is what it says | 09:46 |
| walidvb_ | auronandace: ... okay. i guess for the sake of this project, i'll just switch the HD, and have a single boot ubuntu. | 09:47 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: I have public key setup for ssh, will this mess this method up | 09:47 |
| walidvb_ | i can install ubuntu on an external hd via ubuntu, right? | 09:47 |
| auronandace | walidvb_: sure | 09:47 |
| walidvb_ | nice. | 09:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: sorry, missed your comment above with the ssh command. You would *actually* use "ssh -Lnfsport:localhost:nfsport". That way it forwards nfsport on the client machine to nfsport on the server machine *through* the ssh connection | 09:48 |
| walidvb_ | going for it right now. thanks! | 09:48 |

| winnie666 | hello everyone, i've got an ubuntu home server running for several purposes, i am looking for a way to silently backup a portion of the HD's on two laptops connected to the same network to the servers HD, i am aware of DRBD and rsync: now here come my question, idially, i would like the backup to be compressed, and i would like this proccess to be SILENT, i.e. i am looking for the local write/read speed to be fast, while the server do | 09:50 |
| winnie666 | es the computing power needed to copy and compress the information needed! | 09:50 |
| auronandace | !here | Shanth | 09:50 |
| ubottu | Shanth: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 09:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: you will also get a login shell, but you can just ignore it (or use it!) | 09:51 |
| nhorning | HEY | 09:51 |
| nhorning | crowdmap is hosed! | 09:51 |
| Shanth | can i know the command equivalent for start command as in windows | 09:51 |
| nhorning | ehem... | 09:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shanth: what does the start command in windows do? | 09:51 |
| nhorning | What I mean to say is... | 09:52 |
| Shanth | start command in windows without any arguments will just open another cmd window to work | 09:52 |
| nhorning | If there are any devs from Ushahidi in here. I'd like to draw you attention to a showstopper over at crowdmap | 09:52 |
| nhorning | Is there anybody? | 09:53 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: Yea, i have got login shell, may be because i have ssh public key resolved | 09:53 |
| quick- | nhorning: yup :) | 09:53 |
| nhorning | you? | 09:53 |
| nhorning | wow, their are tonnes of people in here... | 09:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: when you do ssh port forwarding, it also does a regular log in (whether you use keys or passwords). If you now run "nmap localhost" on your client machine, you'll see a brand-new port has opened (65000) | 09:54 |
| nhorning | So look, I'm ICT support at PBI-Nepal | 09:54 |

| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: so, what is your recommendation then | 10:05 |
| preetam | my problem is that even after the system shuts down the processor is still on | 10:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: you can probably still stream the stuff with that speed (assuming it's the same speed in the other direction) | 10:06 |
| === manu is now known as Guest68964 | ||
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: both speeds are the same | 10:07 |

| KM0201 | jpds: thanks | 10:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: well, if you just want to try it out and see how responsive it is, nfs is fairly simple to set up. you can also use sshfs as a slightly slower but WAY faster to set up alternative | 10:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !sshfs | invinciblemutant | 10:08 |
| ubottu | invinciblemutant: sshfs is a !Fuse based filesystem which allows you to mount a remote system over !SSH - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS for instructions | 10:08 |
| === nyuszika7h is now known as anyone | ||
| === anyone is now known as nyuszika7h | ||
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: ubottu I have sshfs setup, i dont find it responsive enough | 10:09 |
| invinciblemutant | ubottu: DarwinSurvivor Do you mean that NFS is much more responsive over network | 10:10 |
| ubottu | invinciblemutant: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:10 |
| invinciblemutant | I have got cheated by a bot... | 10:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lol | 10:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: nfs *is* measurably faster than sshfs, but sshfs is still very useful as a temporary solution (I use it on my home network on a regular basis) | 10:11 |
| invinciblemutant | ok... | 10:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !nfs | invinciblemutant | 10:12 |
| ubottu | invinciblemutant: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 10:12 |
| === TheObfuscator is now known as GeorgeJ | ||
| DarwinSurvivor | if you follow those instructions, that should get nfs set up | 10:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | you'll probably only need v3 (v4 is still finicky) | 10:13 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: OK..i will find that out...i had a talk with my friend before. He told me that NFS can be mapped by user ID of NIS+??? no security at all? | 10:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: just set it up so that only localhost has access to the NFS share, then use "ssh -L" to make the tunnel | 10:13 |
| dinesan | hello | 10:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: NFSv3 has almost no security, which is why you would use ssh to ADD a layer of security to it. | 10:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: important check: you are the only person with ssh access to the server correct? | 10:14 |
| invinciblemutant | currently yes | 10:15 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: currently yes | 10:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: will that change in the forseeable future? | 10:15 |

| Guido1 | hello, i have ubuntu 10.04 and wanted to watch buffy the vampire slayer, but it does not work - not with totem and not with VLC media player. with windows it does, because it instales something. what can i do? | 10:16 |
| KM0201 | Guido1: link to where you're watching it? | 10:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: there would be yes as the NFS share (using v3) would be vulnerable to anyone with local or ssh access to the server. | 10:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Guido1 you need restricted areas | 10:17 |
| Guido1 | i have the DVDs | 10:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: note: the local network is not an issue. only physical and ssh access (basically the ability to get a shell) | 10:17 |

| pharm | hi | 10:18 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: what is the issue? | 10:18 |
| pharm | i just read on your homepage that libreoffice opens msoffice documents? | 10:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | if others will have ssh access you should probably go with NFSv4 which has built in security, but I've never used it, so you'll have to get someone else to help you with that | 10:18 |
| pharm | is this true? | 10:18 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: Do you mean that i cannot allow other ssh accounts? | 10:18 |
| KM0201 | Guido1: that link ubottu gave you, has instructions to play dvd's | 10:18 |
| Guido1 | MonkeyDust: ubottu: okee, i will have a look. thanks | 10:18 |
| pharm | that was like the single thing ubuntu was not capable of | 10:18 |
| miscni | just curious, does others also have trouble with, to install teamviewer on Ubuntu 12.04??? | 10:19 |
| pharm | besides playing pc games ofc | 10:19 |
| pharm | apart from wine etc | 10:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Guido1 Belg? | 10:19 |
| KM0201 | miscni: it installed fine for me | 10:19 |
| miscni | KM0201, I get a weird message, about it is not possibul to remove Essencial data | 10:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: basically, NFSv3 relies on the *client* being trustworthy, it can be made secure by limiting who can connect to it. but ANYONE that can connect to it can easily pretend to be any user as far as NFS is concerned | 10:20 |
| KM0201 | miscni: are you using a recently downloaded package?.. or is this an old package you downloaded ?.. there were some changes to the way ubuntu does things, and teamviewer released a new package to adapt to that | 10:20 |
| miscni | just got the new one downloaded from Teamviewer | 10:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: if others will have ssh access, then don't use NFSv3. use either NFSv4 or sshfs (which both offer built-in security) | 10:21 |
| miscni | KM0201, just got the new one downloaded from Teamviewer | 10:21 |
| KM0201 | miscni: i assume you're using 64bit? | 10:21 |
| miscni | KM0201, actaully no, I am using 32 | 10:21 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: btw, i came across dvcs-autosync, there no documentation on how to use that.. | 10:21 |
| KM0201 | miscni: now that i'm not sure, i've always heard this problem affecting 64bit users | 10:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: if you don't need instantaneous syncing, you could also just run rsync or git on a regular basis | 10:22 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: i hope that both dvcs-autosync and nfs could offer me something substantial for syncing computers | 10:22 |
| miscni | KM0201, yeah that I have noticed on the forums... maybe it is just a error 39½ from my side, I will try something... 2 sec | 10:22 |

| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: If we have a solution on this, linux will beat windows soon | 10:35 |
| MonkeyDust | Wasmosy that question makes no sense, it's either update (online) or fresh install (cd/dvd/thumbdrive) | 10:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | invinciblemutant: if you have ecryptfs enabled, find the folder inside ~/.ecryptfs that contains the encrypted files and sync that. do NOT sync the entire .ecryptfs folder as it also contains the key that is only protected by your (probably weak) login password | 10:36 |

| fidel_ | solofight: my time-travelmachine is gone | 11:45 |
| solofight | ok | 11:45 |
| solofight | thanks for your time | 11:46 |
| fidel_ | no idea what they used in v7 | 11:46 |
| fidel_ | solofight: consider thinking about updating your os | 11:46 |
| Blarrffll | solofight : fdisk -l should give you what you need | 11:46 |
| solofight | fidel_: but tell me this - when i boot today all of sudden it said Error 18 - Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS | 11:46 |
| Blarrffll | but yeah, connecting your 7.10 box to the internet for any longer than a few minutes without a good hardware firewall is probably going to almost guarantee you get your machine compromised. | 11:47 |
| solofight | ohh | 11:47 |
| solofight | how do i get this rectified now ? | 11:47 |
| solofight | i want to enter into my machine | 11:47 |
| solofight | Blarrffll: ^ | 11:47 |
| Blarrffll | solofight : download 12.04 from www.ubuntu.com and install it | 11:48 |
| solofight | fidel_: o have dual boot, windows + ubuntu. when i do fdisk -l it shows sda1 as primary boot with fat32 so thats ubuntu ? | 11:48 |
| solofight | the order i installed dual boot is 1. windows 2. ubuntu | 11:49 |
| solofight | Blarrffll: ^ | 11:49 |
| Kartagis | fat32 == windows | 11:49 |
| Blarrffll | solofight : fat32 will be your windows disk | 11:49 |

| rabbi1 | after lot of circus, was able to install 12.04 on AMD 64 ... now, running update from update manager hangs the system, and ctrl+alt+F1 also has no affect.. :( | 11:50 |
| gwelter | solofight: you didn't leave a bootable usb disk in the pc that fails to boot? | 11:50 |
| rabbi1 | Dr_willis: any idea why ? | 11:51 |
| Blarrffll | rabbi1 : have you tried running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade ? | 11:51 |
| gwelter | solofight: or a cardreader that gets assigned before the harddisk? | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | rabbi1, perhaps due to the sme reason you had such a hassle installing.. | 11:51 |
| Sidewinder | solofight Before you reinstall a current version, see here for version options: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 remember to back up all of your data. | 11:52 |
| rabbi1 | Blarrffll: Dr_willis: apt-get update, i had a fresh install from CD, when was unable to upgrade (screwed up everything when upgraded from 10.04 ) | 11:52 |
| Peanut | Is it possible on an already installed system to mirror the root-drive on another, and make it into a mirror pair? | 11:53 |
| solofight | gwelter: nope - i didnt leave any bootable usb disk in pc | 11:53 |
| solofight | gwelter: not that either | 11:53 |
| Peanut | As in, promote an already installed filesystem to half of the mirror, then let it sync to the other disk and have a mirrored fileysystem? | 11:54 |
| rabbi1 | Dr_willis: upgrade screwed, but from a CD with fresh installing erasing all data and previous version of ubuntu, ----> 12.04 installed and works good, but apt-get update hangs the OS.... :( | 11:54 |
| Blarrffll | rabbi1 : aside from running updates, does everything else seem to work? | 11:54 |
| solofight | Blarrffll: i have a 10.04 server disk - can i install that in my desktop ? | 11:54 |
| solofight | what are the effects of installing a server edition on desktop ? | 11:54 |
| rabbi1 | is that could be Unity problem by any chance ? if that then ctrl+alt+F1 should work right ? | 11:55 |
| Blarrffll | solofight : 10.04 is still 2 years out of date | 11:55 |
| Ben64 | Blarrffll: a 7.10 machine won't be compromised within minutes of connecting to the internet | 11:55 |
| solofight | Blarrffll: dont have v12 now | 11:55 |
| gwelter | solofight: default package selection is different, no graphical environment by default | 11:56 |
| solofight | ohh | 11:56 |
| solofight | then il go with the v9 desktop edition disk that i have | 11:56 |
| solofight | ? | 11:56 |
| gwelter | solofight: you can't download 12.04 and burn to cd or put it on a pen drive now? | 11:57 |
| foobArrr | how do I get rid of overlay scrollbars? I removed overlay-scrollbar, but they are still there. | 11:57 |
| solofight | if i start now itl take 1 or 2 days for me to finish download | 11:57 |
| solofight | gwelter: ^ | 11:57 |
| gwelter | solofight: boot v9 in live mode, download v12, burn and install it | 11:57 |
| gwelter | solofight: oh :S | 11:57 |
| solofight | whats the mion space for v12 to get installed ? | 11:58 |
| solofight | more than v7 ? | 11:58 |
| gwelter | solofight: probably, but not much more i think | 11:58 |
| rabbi1 | Blarrffll: yeah, sort of... most of it yeah, install gimp and pidgin, din't find any problem. after these two installs tried upgrading.... but it stuck twice ... | 11:58 |
| Blarrffll | solofight : I'd suggest spendingthe couple of days downloading 12.04 if at all possible, or buy the discs for a few $'s. - http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 | 11:58 |
| sburwood1 | Anyone wanna help me fix - if it is fixable - my Belgian card reader (beid) | 11:58 |

| sburwood1 | Belgian id card reader | 11:59 |
| jure | how do I completely disable 3D effects in 12.04? | 11:59 |
| solofight | so thats the partition i need to delete and install v12 ? | 11:59 |
| rabbi1 | solofight: don't go for older version, u will end up with repeating the same tasks again | 12:00 |
| rabbi1 | solofight: u can even download from torrent..... | 12:00 |
| Ben64 | or just keep the system updated | 12:00 |
| solofight | rabbi1: sda7 and sda8 says linux and linux swap/solaris | 12:00 |
| solofight | so thats the partition i need to delete and install v12 ? | 12:01 |
| gwelter | solofight: v12 will do that for you (it's one of the install options) | 12:01 |
| rabbi1 | solofight: no need to delete any partition | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | jure, use unity 2d you mean? or some other desktop. | 12:01 |
| rabbi1 | it will by default install to sda 7 if its the root. .. | 12:01 |
| jure | Dr_willis: unity 2d? I think I'm already using unity 2d | 12:02 |
| solofight | rabbi1: so i can download v12, burn and select install option it will automatically use sda7 and sda8 ? | 12:02 |
| Blarrffll | rabbi1 : does aptitude crash as well? | 12:02 |
| solofight | no need to any modify ? | 12:02 |
| rabbi1 | Blarrffll: never tried the other option..... | 12:02 |
| gunouille | i am getting to love unity in 12.04 | 12:02 |
| jure | Dr_willis: so I need to select 'Ubuntu 2D' at the login screen? | 12:03 |
| gwelter | solofight: yes, one of the install options is to replace (not upgrade) your old ubuntu installation and leave your windows partition alone | 12:04 |
| jure | I think that fixed it | 12:04 |

| rabbi1 | solofight: no modification is required, important to take backup of your data...... | 12:10 |
| Blarrffll | Akusari : Answer other peoples questions :D | 12:10 |
| Akusari | ok :-) | 12:10 |
| solofight | rabbi1: how to back up my data ? its not even booting in | 12:10 |
| solofight | using live cd ? | 12:10 |
| itsnotworking | I installed ubuntu-desktop on my xubuntu installation. when I log into the Ubuntu session, it looks like this: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/Screenshotfrom20120508093141c7e78f8djpg.jpg | 12:10 |
| rabbi1 | solofight: that's difficult. ..... should ask an expert then .... | 12:11 |
| solofight | ok | 12:11 |
| Akusari | @itsnotworking it looks like you're missing a windows-manager (dekoration) | 12:11 |
| gwelter | solofight: yes, use the livecd and a usb drive | 12:12 |
| rabbi1 | solofight: try to solve you current problem as much as possible, fresh installation will not harm you data (most of the time, as claimed) but you never know. i screwed up, but i was able to take a backup before that..... :D all the best .. | 12:12 |
| Stanley00 | itsnotworking: can you right click on the screen? | 12:12 |
| solofight | gwelter: rabbi1thank you | 12:12 |
| gwelter | rabbi1: fresh install will wipe his ubuntu data | 12:13 |
| Akusari | i just guess xfce4 was removed and no new one was added.... xinirc files or so, i'm not sure | 12:13 |
| rabbi1 | Blarrffll: while update is on the way, whole system hangs, every app and ubuntu .... nothing works . | 12:13 |
| itsnotworking | brb | 12:14 |
| Blarrffll | rabbi1 : and this is after a full reinstall, right? | 12:14 |
| gwelter | upgrade has best chance of preserving data, but might give other problems | 12:14 |
| rabbi1 | solofight: you can even take help of a friend who has linux, make your harddisk accessible by his system and take a backup, in case your data exceeds the usb drive capacity ... | 12:15 |
| itsnotworking | Stanley00: yes | 12:15 |
| rabbi1 | Blarrffll: yeap, after full installation | 12:15 |
| Blarrffll | rabbi1 : can you boot from a live CD/USB, and run e2fsck on your ubuntu partition? | 12:15 |
| itsnotworking | unity is not launching, I just started it via terminal and it looks fine. why is it not starting? | 12:15 |
| Stanley00 | itsnotworking: well, i think it just because of your config, can you log in as guest and check if it is OK | 12:16 |
| itsnotworking | ok, window decorations are still missing | 12:16 |
| Blarrffll | rabbi1 : not working is a problem, but actually crashing indicates something more serious (hard drive issue?) | 12:16 |
| rabbi1 | gwelter: and that other problems are never predictable or document, :P may be....... | 12:16 |
| itsnotworking | Stanley00: k, I'll do that | 12:16 |
| === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk | ||
| gwelter | rabbi1: exactly, i never upgrade. always backup and fresj install | 12:16 |
| rabbi1 | Blarrffll: ok will try fsck and check. hmmm, HD problem is not a cause i believe for the moment ... | 12:17 |
| buzzmandt | I've done 4 upgrades to 12.04. all worked just fine | 12:17 |
| Blarrffll | rabbi1: is there anything in /var/log/syslog that gives an indication of why its crashing? | 12:17 |
| rabbi1 | gwelter: i learnt that now, to save some half hour time i spent a day ..... | 12:17 |
| gwelter | buzzmandt: I'm not saying an upgrade doesn't work. I just prefer fresh installs | 12:18 |
| rabbi1 | Blarrffll: can;t check that now, as there is no power here, so can't switch on my desktop :( | 12:18 |
| itsnotworking | Stanley00: working fine in guest | 12:18 |
| Blarrffll | rabbi1 : well I guess it doesn't really matter that aptitude isn't working.. ;) | 12:18 |
| solofight | people i have 2gb ram in my desktop so its enought if i download 32 bit version of ubuntu 12 ? | 12:19 |
| Blarrffll | solofight : more than enough | 12:19 |
| solofight | thank you | 12:19 |
| Stanley00 | itsnotworking: well, now, backup your hidden files/folders in your home, delete them all, and then relogin | 12:19 |
| Stanley00 | itsnotworking: maybe it will help :D | 12:20 |
| itsnotworking | :/ | 12:20 |
| Akusari | @itsnotworking You might delete/rename your ~/.config directory, but you'll lose any kind of settings and get a new standard desktop | 12:20 |
| itsnotworking | I'd rather not have to reconfigure everything. | 12:20 |
| itsnotworking | what window manager does ubuntu use by default? could creating a custom session and starting unity + windowmanager there work? | 12:22 |
| === Talisman`Work is now known as TalismanWork`AFK | ||
| JosephHarrietha | Could someone direct me to the latest release notes for todays upgrade to the "unity" and connected packages? | 12:24 |

| amandabee | Hi! I've got a weird problem. My computer (11.10) recently started asking repeatedly for the wireless password, even though I've got a wired connection. | 12:24 |
| amandabee | I left my machine on overnight and I've not got ...I can't even count how many alerts. | 12:24 |
| amandabee | Is there a clean way to just cancel them all? | 12:25 |
| Gnea | amandabee: so you don't want to use wireless? | 12:25 |
| Gnea | amandabee: logout, login | 12:25 |
| Pici | JosephHarrietha: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/5.12-0ubuntu1 | 12:25 |
| amandabee | Gnea: I was hoping to do it without having to shut everything else down. | 12:25 |
| JosephHarrietha | Gnea, No, she just dosen't want to be repeatedly asked for it. | 12:25 |
| amandabee | I want two things, truth be told. First, I want to get all these alerts out of here. | 12:25 |
| amandabee | Second I want to troubleshoot the password requests. | 12:26 |
| Gnea | that's odd, I haven't had that problem on 10.04, so it might be distribution-specific | 12:26 |
| Gnea | amandabee: I would start by pulling up a terminal and running: ps axf and see if you have a lot of repeat processes | 12:26 |
| JosephHarrietha | Giving work arounds instead of adressing the heart of the matter helps nobody. amandabee I would do some research on what makes it do the alerts, and see where its preferances lie. It may have to do with Ubuntu's home grown libnotify | 12:26 |
| JosephHarrietha | And thank you Pici | 12:26 |
| amandabee | Gnea: tried that, no dice. | 12:26 |
| tinux | hello everyone | 12:27 |
| Gnea | amandabee: have you tried disabling wireless? | 12:27 |
| fidel_ | amandabee: is it your own wireless network which you might use from time to time - or a completly different one? | 12:27 |
| amandabee | fidel_: it's a wirless network that I use, yeah. | 12:27 |
| fidel_ | i had the second variant some days ago as well - was caused as i accidently selected once the wrong wireless network | 12:27 |
| amandabee | fidel_: no, this is my home wireless network | 12:28 |
| Gnea | JosephHarrietha: I have been here for years, thanks. I really don't need to be told how to solve a problem related to Ubuntu. | 12:28 |
| tinux | can anyone please suggest me a command which can get all active services along with their conf files ? | 12:28 |
| Gnea | tinux: well, service --status-all will show you what's up and what's not up... as for conf files, those are all in /etc | 12:29 |
| Blarrffll | tinux : service --status-all will list services. Not sure about the config files attached to them | 12:29 |
| JosephHarrietha | Gnea Well it appears your experience has given you quite a lot of arrogance. "How do I get rid of notifications" Your awnser is to login and out? How does that solve the issue at hand? Its going to happen again the next time. The point of helping is not to give work arounds, its to get to the heart of the matter. Now please step down off your elitist graces and be human. After all, Ubuntu is designed for human beings. Not arrogant jerk | 12:29 |
| zamba | argh.. what has happened with ubuntu server? you can't set the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf any more.. where is this now defined? | 12:30 |

| zamba | fidel_: looks like the resolvconf package handles it here | 12:32 |
| JosephHarrietha | Gnea, Your signature is obviously false, just because a solution may not be available, does not mean you should dismiss them without effort. I can make a valid argument that you conduct is in violation of the CoC as well. | 12:32 |

| JosephHarrietha | your* | 12:33 |
| Gnea | amandabee: sorry about that, were you able to disable wireless? was that able to get rid of the warnings or are they still there? | 12:33 |
| Gnea | JosephHarrietha: your presence here is not required. welcome to /ignore | 12:33 |
| * amandabee coughs. tried restarting networking, disabling wireless, still have one hundred million password alerts. | 12:33 | |
| JosephHarrietha | Gnea, So before you argue about someone else's attitude, please look at your own. Disabling wireless? ... really? Your hopeless. Your presence here is worthless and I will not stand in your ignorance any longer. Good day sir. | 12:34 |
| zamba | wow, how did this start? :) | 12:34 |
| zamba | is there some history to this flame war that i'm not familiar with? | 12:35 |
| Blarrffll | It doesn't matter. Let's all move on I think. | 12:35 |
| Gnea | zamba: someone who's been around too many elitists, it seems. it's over, that's what counts. :) | 12:35 |
| Sidewinder | Moving on.. | 12:35 |
| itsnotworking | what is the ubuntu session supposed to start? if I start unity and metacity manually, everything looks like on the screenshots. but is that enough for it to work as it is supposed to? | 12:36 |
| Sidewinder | Gnea, As an aside, I've been known to use a work-around, here and there. :) | 12:36 |
| Gnea | Sidewinder: oh, I do it all the time, no one ever complains. :) | 12:36 |
| Blarrffll | amandabee : when you say you have all of those alerts, are htey just the dialogue boxes waiting for a response, or are new ones still appearing, even after disabling wireless/restarting networking ? | 12:37 |
| amandabee | Blarrffll: it doesn't seem like new ones are appearing, but I'm not kidding about not being able to count them. | 12:38 |
| amandabee | Blarrffll: new ones would take focus, so no, there haven't been new ones. | 12:38 |

| Blarrffll | amandabee : "few hundred lines" sounds a lot more daunting than it actually is.... :D | 12:39 |

| afd | I need MySQL and PHP - is there another option I'm missing (the only things I know are to install Xampp or to MySQL + PHP separately) | 12:44 |

| Gnea | I was going to suggest that networking may need to be restarted... | 12:45 |
| ubottu | afd: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 12:45 |
| amandabee | but the alerts cleared out after both of those had completed. | 12:45 |
| Adzz | Hi, can anyone help me with errors after installing the ATI proprietary drivers? | 12:45 |
| MrElendig | afd: you _never_ want xampp | 12:45 |
| amandabee | And ... superwerid to be left with a handful rather than none. | 12:45 |
| tsimpson | derekchiang: for cross-platform stuff, either Qt, or GTK+ are your best bets (Qt is nicer IMO) | 12:45 |
| Gnea | amandabee: indeed. there may have been a daemon restart during a system cleanup. | 12:45 |
| MrElendig | afd: you might want to take a look at nginx or lighttp btw | 12:46 |
| Adzz | Hi can anyone help me with installing ati drivers with ubuntu 12.04 | 12:46 |
| afd | MrElendig: I'm not sure I can host Wordpress sites without MySQL+PHP but I'd be open to an alternative to Apache | 12:46 |
| derekchiang | tsimpson: I have used Qt before but I think it is too powerful for my need, and it's library is too big... does Qt support audio rendering? | 12:46 |
| Gnea | amandabee: anyway, glad you were able to get it under control | 12:46 |
| jrib | afd: ubottu sent you instructions on how to install apache, php, and mysql on ubuntu | 12:46 |
| pharm | afd, why dont you just install apache2, php and mysql? | 12:47 |
| pharm | php4 or 5 | 12:47 |
| pharm | ah :) | 12:47 |
| Adzz | can someone help me with the ati propreitary drivers pl0x | 12:47 |
| tsimpson | derekchiang: Qt (via phonon) supports native audio and video rendering | 12:47 |
| Pici | afd: you don't *need* to install apache, but the other two definitely should be installed from our pacakge repositories. | 12:47 |
| afd | pharm: I think I will ; | 12:47 |
| afd | ;) | 12:47 |
| pharm | works nice here | 12:47 |
| aJynks | Hi guys... some simple questions.. I am about to add ubuntu ot a new system.. it has 2 fast physical 150GB drives... 1 has win7, the other will have ubuntu... and ther is a 600GB "data" drive I wanted acessable by both. What would be the best method for doing that.. just formate it as NTFS? Is there a way I can mount the 2nd drive inside my ~/ dir in ubuntu... as I like the way ~/ works | 12:48 |
| MrElendig | Adzz: System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers. or whatever | 12:48 |

| dsdeiz | hi! | 12:48 |
| dsdeiz | anyone familiar on how to have a screensaver that runs across a dual monitor? | 12:48 |
| pharm | aJynks, no problem | 12:49 |
| Adzz | MrElendig: check private chat | 12:49 |
| pharm | aJynks, maybe for ultimate compatibility id take fat32 filesystem | 12:49 |
| derekchiang | tsimpson: how do you like Wxwidgets? | 12:49 |
| tsimpson | derekchiang: I don't, and neither do most sane people ;) | 12:49 |
| pharm | aJynks, it is very easy to mount something in your linuxfilesystem (wherever you want) | 12:50 |
| dsdeiz | i have xscreensaver installed and id like to have only 1 screensaver that runs on both monitors other than having 'em separated | 12:50 |
| mike1056 | I have a question about upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04. | 12:50 |
| aJynks | pharm, ok... would you have a page for this or should i just google? | 12:50 |
| derekchiang | tsimpson: really? for what reason? It looks like a very mature toolkit | 12:52 |
| itsworking | moving ~/.config/autostart fixed it, unity starts. thanks | 12:52 |
| Adzz | Can anyone help me get the ATI proprietary driver working on Ubuntu 12.04 | 12:52 |
| pharm | aJynks, i don't, google knows ofc, try mount ntfs in ubuntu or similar | 12:52 |
| Gnea | !ati | Adzz | 12:52 |
| ubottu | Adzz: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 12:52 |
| tsimpson | derekchiang: mature, sure. but not modern, and not "nice" to play with | 12:52 |
| aJynks | pharm, sure np.. thanks mate | 12:52 |
| pharm | aJynks, just come back after you installed it if you have questions on how to exactly mount it where you want it | 12:53 |
| aJynks | np.. thanks again pharm | 12:53 |

| Adzz | Gnea: http://pastebin.com/Y98kXqf7 | 12:55 |
| drag0nius | i'm using eeepc and i've trouble with not seeing whole popup windows | 12:55 |
| drag0nius | and im unable to maximize them, in 11.04 i was just dragging em top | 12:55 |
| drag0nius | but in 12.04 i cant | 12:56 |
| derekchiang | tsimpson: OK thanks for your opinion. I think I will go with Qt, since it has a nice Creato | 12:56 |
| drag0nius | then windows was resized to screen with buttons visible, but now i cant drag them onto top ubuntu bar | 12:56 |
| derekchiang | Creator | 12:56 |
| Gnea | Adzz: okay, in that URL that you just showed me at cchtml.com, which step did you get up to? | 12:57 |
| drag0nius | any ideas? | 12:57 |

| eutheria | is it likely that unity will move away from compiz? | 12:57 |
| derekchiang | tsimpson: Oh sure. Thanks! | 12:57 |

| escott | eutheria, yes and no. when the move to wayland is complete compiz will have to be replaced, but thats a few years out | 12:59 |

| Adzz | Gnea: ok, well i got upto this bit http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Generate_a_new_.2Fetc.2FX11.2Fxorg.conf_file , i ran the command to create the default config, then it says to restart, when i restart it says that the config file doesnt work or something, then gives me options to restore my default/backup config, to edit the config manually or to troubleshoot it | 12:59 |

| Adzz1 | Gnea: oh okay, should i be looking in anywhere else or just staying in here? | 13:01 |

| Adzz1 | Gnea: i first followed the instructions on the official ubuntu help site and i didnt really get far since i didnt understand most of it, then i went on the AMD.com site itself, downloaded the driver from there, installed it and got that same error that when i reboot it says there's a problem with my config, i then saw in the description of the download on AMD.com that there "unofficial" but maintained linux driver support wiki was the link i | 13:04 |
| === Kasper is now known as doa | ||
| Kenshizl | Oh, I couldn't see the channel #Xubuntu, thanks! | 13:04 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: alright, so you installed from amd.com but didn't uninstall it? | 13:04 |
| auronandace | drag0nius: hold alt and click and drag | 13:04 |
| Adzz1 | Gnea: well i assumed since i got the error, that it didnt work, so when i rebooted i tryed the flgrxinfo command, and it gave me that error, so then i installd the proprietary driver from the "Additional Drivers" manager and it gives me the same issue | 13:05 |
| drag0nius | if i drag too far i cant drag it back ;d | 13:06 |
| drag0nius | and it does not fit to screen even though | 13:06 |
| TheConsultant | @ Gnea : no. just hanging out here. maybe i'll get a little wiser | 13:06 |
| shaneo | hey guys if i use unity is it safe to uninstall all gnome packages | 13:06 |
| drag0nius | in previous ubuntu i did something so i could maximize any possible window | 13:06 |
| chu | Unity *is* GNOME | 13:06 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: okay, the problem is that you didn't uninstall what you installed from amd.com - there's a conflict going on. what you'll need to do is reverse the steps, making sure you remove anything ati-related from apt and also removing the driver that you installed from amd.com... if it was a script, it should have some sort of uninstall function that you can call by running --help with it | 13:07 |
| auronandace | chu: unity is a shell for gnome3 | 13:07 |
| chu | auronandace: Yep, but for shaneo's question, Unity is GNOME. | 13:07 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: once you're done with all of that and you're sure that the system is clean of any ati/fglrx drivers, then you can proceed to start over | 13:07 |
| shaneo | chu, what about gnome-desktop3-data | 13:07 |
| Chuck_Norris | Adzz1: what driver version? | 13:08 |
| auronandace | chu: its slightly misleading but i get what you mean | 13:08 |
| sirlark | hi, I'm trying to get autofs working for samba mounts. I can mount the samba share manually. My master mount dir appears when i start autofs, but when I change into the key for the samba mount (/mnt/smb/winpc) I get a "no such file or directory" error. I can't find anything in the messages or daemon logs to match this error. any ideas what's going wrong | 13:08 |
| shaneo | sorry guys just trying to clean up my pc something is eating space and i dont know what just trying to get rid of everything i can | 13:08 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: and just as a quick piece of advice, NEVER install a driver directly from a website in Ubuntu, that always leads to problems... you're not the first to make that mistake and certainly won't be the last. But this can be fixed and all will be well :) | 13:08 |
| Adzz1 | Gnea: its not a script, its a .run file and when i execute it, i get two options. A) Install Driver 8.961 on X.Org 6.9 or later 64-bit. B) Generate Distribution Specific Driver Package. | 13:09 |
| chu | shaneo: I don't know (I don't have a Unity install myself), but I wouldn't touch potentially critical files, maybe wait for someone who knows what's going on before attempting anything. | 13:09 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: unless it's an official ubuntu website that tells you to install from a website like that, it's best not to | 13:09 |
| shaneo | ok chu will do | 13:09 |
| Adzz1 | Gnea: thanks gnea :), and where do you think i should start since its not a script? | 13:09 |
| auronandace | shaneo: how much space do you have and how much space is taken up? | 13:09 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: yes, .run files are scripts. if you open a terminal and issue this command: file ati-whatever.run you will see that :) | 13:09 |
| shaneo | auronandace, 500GB and i only have 98GB | 13:10 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: obviously, replacing 'ati-whatever.run' with the actual name of the script | 13:10 |
| shaneo | make that 95GB | 13:10 |
| auronandace | shaneo: what on earth are you working with? vms? video editing? | 13:10 |
| drag0nius | isnt there some way to force maximizing of window in new ubuntu? | 13:10 |
| Chuck_Norris | Adzz1: sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh | 13:11 |
| shaneo | auronandace, none of the above | 13:11 |
| aboudreault | hi ppl. | 13:11 |
| drag0nius | i achieved it somehow in 11.10 | 13:11 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: well, start with this: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep fglrx | 13:11 |
| auronandace | shaneo: what is taking up all that space? | 13:11 |
| shaneo | auronandace, i have no idea whats eating it up | 13:11 |
| aboudreault | I have been forced to use acpi=noirq to be able to boot... however it seems that the FAN is ALWAYS in use.... how can I fit this? | 13:11 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: that will tell you what is installed for fglrx... just remove the results using apt-get remove | 13:11 |
| auronandace | shaneo: i can assure you that removing packages will not put a dent in that | 13:11 |
| sirlark | shaneo: it your available space decreasing as we speak? | 13:11 |
| sirlark | s/it/is/ | 13:12 |
| shaneo | no sirlark staying steady | 13:12 |
| Adzz1 | ok thanks alot! | 13:12 |
| Sidewinder | shaneo, 500GB and you only have 95 left/free? Gotta be multiple .avi s, mp3 s; I've been running ubuntu on a 70GB for years and still have 20 GB, free. I do have externals, though.. | 13:12 |
| Gnea | Adzz1: it sounds like Chuck_Norris may have done this as well :) | 13:12 |
| auronandace | shaneo: you must know what is on your harddrive? | 13:12 |
| sirlark | shaneo: you can use du to find out which folders take up what space | 13:12 |
| shaneo | Sidewinder, i keep all avi and mps on ext 1TB | 13:12 |
| Adzz1 | Chuck_Norris: when i try and run that it says sh: 0: Can't open /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh | 13:13 |

| Chuck_Norris | ye | 13:13 |
| Sidewinder | his, even. | 13:13 |
| Adzz1 | Gnea: do all i need to go is uninstall the packages listed when i run the grep command or do i still have to uninstall the .run file? | 13:13 |
| shaneo | auronandace, i know whats on it just not whats taking up the space as i said i keep all data external thats why i dont understand why my main hdd is being used up | 13:14 |
| shaneo | sirlark, i will try that thanls | 13:14 |
| shaneo | *thanks | 13:14 |
| auronandace | shaneo: forgive me for being thick but how can you know what is on your harddrive without knowing how much space it is taking up? | 13:15 |
| Sidewinder | shaneo, Please let us know; you really have my curiosity up.. | 13:15 |
| Chuck_Norris | aboudreault: maybe with the noirw change jupiter wont work, but try it | 13:15 |

| satyanash_ | auronandace: No, I wanted one which did not have any graphical installation after install. | 13:16 |

| onosendi | timothyhines: : has it ever worked before? | 13:38 |
| timothyhines | escott - i don't konw if numlock works - no light indicator | 13:39 |
| escott | timothyhines, thats what is meant by "does numlock work" evidently it doesn't | 13:39 |
| Wipster | Hi all, I am having trouble with 10.04LTS (cant use 12.04 LTS because of exceptions and crashes) the device is set to login automatically and network manager is set to connect to my wireless network (iwlagn drivers) I have removed the password on the keyring to allow it to connect without needing interaction. However on a reboot it blocks on connecting to the wireless and never does it, the only way it seems to connect is if I dele | 13:39 |
| Wipster | te the new connection (forcing a password input) and add it again, so this is possibly linked to the keyring? | 13:39 |
| timothyhines | fidel_ i can't type into the login box - i hear the boot up sound | 13:39 |
| fidel_ | timothyhines: can you login to tty at that point? | 13:39 |

| timothyhines | fidel_ - how? | 13:40 |
| navatwo | jrib: escott i figured out why.. for some reason its mounting my /home as read only | 13:40 |
| escott | navatwo, run fsck on it | 13:40 |
| timothyhines | escott - this has a built in video card in the AMD processor | 13:40 |
| navatwo | escott: doing what | 13:40 |
| fidel_ | timothyhines: ctrl+alt+f1 might bring you to a black-console offering a cli-based login. i was just curious if that still works or not. but in case you arent used to cli - this might NOT be that ueber-helpful at the end | 13:41 |
| timothyhines | fidel_ ctrl+alt_f1 does not do anything | 13:41 |
| navatwo | hmm, for some reason, its mounting my hfsplus /home partition as read only... | 13:42 |
| navatwo | it wasn't yesterday | 13:42 |
| timothyhines | escott - i have an AMD Radeon HD 6290 graphics card | 13:42 |
| escott | navatwo, hfs+? why? would journaling have been reenabled | 13:42 |
| escott | timothyhines, are you using the fglrx drivers? | 13:42 |
| timothyhines | escott - i don't know - how can i tell? | 13:43 |
| navatwo | escott: that's what I'm thinking | 13:43 |

| gdoteof | is this an issue with a shitty video card? | 14:00 |
| Brustofski-fan | gwelter, It was doing it until i changed to a differnt background.. Then lightdm went back to ubuntu defailt | 14:00 |
| chu | gdoteof: be careful with the language please. | 14:01 |
| DJones | K1rk|Work: That sounds like you need "kiosk mode", I don't know of any specific examples to follow, but I can see quite a few examples/suggestions for it on a web search | 14:01 |

| nemo | So, a user is reporting that his ATI sound card is causing pulseaudio to hang in Ubuntu 12.04 - I've also had odd sound-related issues with 12.04 - such as when playing Iagno, the game hanging with sound looping endlessly. | 15:41 |
| Wishing_Master | Dr_willis, i guess i am a bad boy ! | 15:41 |
| reghina_ | Dr_Willis ok reghina@reghina-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get intall pitivi | 15:41 |
| reghina_ | E: Operazione intall non valida | 15:41 |
| nemo | He says that killall pulseaudio causes things to stop hanging. Also that it happens with HDMI and Analog outputs | 15:41 |

| ironhalik | hmm, why do gpu drivers have to be such a PITA :> | 15:41 |
| Wishing_Master | Dr_willis, so back to my request-----how do i log in as root user? | 15:41 |
| Dr_willis | when in doubt, update, upgrade, install | 15:41 |
| auronandace | reghina_: its install, not intall | 15:42 |
| Dr_willis | Wishing_Master, - you dont. Its not supported by this channel. | 15:42 |
| nemo | Searching launchpad reveals plenty of pulseaudio bugs, and hdmi audio bugs, but nothing that seems too promising. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas | 15:42 |
| stefg | reghina_: there's a typo ... sudo apt-get install (not intall) | 15:42 |

| Wishing_Master | Dr_willis, whats wrong in loging in as root? | 15:44 |
| Dr_willis | i always like to do a upgrade befor installing. | 15:44 |
| Dr_willis | Wishing_Master, its not needed.. its a security risk. and ubuntu defaults to using sudo. | 15:44 |

| ubottu | aJynks: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 16:29 |

| Lekhite | Guys does anyone know a fix to being unable to login into desktop of my main account? I've been searching for three days. Deleting .Xauthority hasn't worked. Switching from lightdm to gdm hasn't worked either. I have access to guest account and of course can ctrl alt f1 to a console. | 16:31 |
| stefg | aJynks: depends on wether you like unity or not. I find the implementation in 12.04 quite good and find myself use it more often than the gnome-classic session (which resembles my gnome2-setup from lucid) | 16:31 |

| Dr_willis | Such predictions are often very... well.. guess work. ;) | 17:15 |
| lars__ | I want really to say: | 17:15 |
| Dr_willis | If a PC comes with windows and ubuntu both - does it count both ways? ;) | 17:15 |
| MrElendig | a couple of years ago they claimed that 20% of all dells shipped that year would be with ubuntu, but we all know how that turned out | 17:15 |
| lars__ | I was one of them who were a bit against Unity | 17:15 |
| AyaneForever | My guess, though, is Ubuntu wouldn't be default on those systems. | 17:15 |
| morten771 | couldn't they have shipped ubuntu on 5% of new computers *before* they destroyed the gui? now it is too late.... | 17:16 |
| belal122 | Well yes, it's never really accurate. But I figured with all those reports being sent after a new install of Ubuntu would help keep track? | 17:16 |
| belal122 | or maybe whenever the update manager gets used, they could gauge the userbase? | 17:16 |
| Dr_willis | getting accurate data is one thing.. interperting it a dozen differnt ways is another.. ;) | 17:17 |
| belal122 | Morten, it's not THAT bad. It's just that the UI is such a drastic change, people often are hesitant to get comfortable. | 17:17 |
| Dr_willis | Unity works very well for me. and that HUD is a very nice feature once ya learn about it. same with all new OS/Designs - it just takes some learning. | 17:17 |
| bakkerthehacker | 'ello. I am having problems with ubuntu when i boot. I think i may have to do with optimus/bumblebee. Does anyone have any experience with bumblebee? | 17:18 |
| AyaneForever | I really like the concepts in Unity but I feel it still needs polish. I'm sure in a few years' time, Unity will be freaking amazing and better integrated with everything. | 17:18 |
| Dr_willis | bakkerthehacker, from what ive seen in here.. lots of bad experiences with it. | 17:18 |
| morten771 | the big thing to remember though is that people have a good enough PC allready, so there is no need to buy a new one. (except if you are a hardcore gamer that needs new graphics card every 3 yeard I guess, but they need directX too) | 17:18 |
| belal122 | Ayane, wait till they start implementing it on TVs. I think the UI is such a perfect match for TV navigation.... | 17:19 |

| Dr_willis | bakkerthehacker, the only thing i know about bumble/optimus - is that i plan on making sure my next laptop does NOT use it.. | 17:20 |
| bakkerthehacker | Dr willis: yes i wish i could as well. Are there intel drivers that i could use, and just not use the nvidia gpu? | 17:21 |
| dlentz | bakkerthehacker, you can just uninstall the nvidia drivers and the intel card should work fine in 3D until you figure out a more permanent solution | 17:21 |

| craigbass1976 | Where was nic info stored in 10.04? I'm wondering what I had my gateway set to, and I backed up /etc before I wiped the box. | 17:41 |

| Splashman | picic | 17:41 |

| auronandace | !studio | picic | 17:41 |

| trism | Splashman: My start-conky.sh script needs a: sleep 10; before starting conky to give the desktop a chance to finish starting, otherwise conky starts but the window doesn't appear | 17:42 |
| Splashman | i did it with sleep 30 | 17:43 |

| linuxfreaker | Hi Guys | 17:44 |
| Dr_willis | Splashman, the conky faq suggests using a script to start it and have it 'delay' about 20 sec befor starting. so the desktop can be all loaded and ready | 17:45 |
| Kangarooo | whats name of package for "move window to side to take that side 1/2 screen" ? i want it in gnome-session-fallback | 17:45 |
| linuxfreaker | I tried installing Ubuntu 11.04 on Dell Server through UEFI. It showed me GRUB menu and then it is not displaying anything | 17:45 |
| Dr_willis | Splashman, test it from a terminal after the desktop loads see if it works | 17:45 |
| linuxfreaker | It did see "Prefix error" before GRUB apear | 17:46 |
| Dr_willis | a dell server uses uefi? Hmm.. interesting. | 17:46 |
| Splashman | i did a script with sleep 30 but i dint know if is well | 17:46 |

| AaronDCampbell | Something in 12.04 doesn't like my desktop, but I'm not sure what. Fairly regularly (every couple hours) it seems to freeze up and all the monitors (I have 4) start to flash like they're refreshing. Sometimes if you wait for enough refreshes it will start working again, and sometimes it gets completely stuck. SSH still works during those times so I can SSH in and restart. Any ideas what that might be? | 17:56 |
| kasii | auronandace, not a torrent its direct download | 17:57 |
| AaronDCampbell | Or even where to start looking? | 17:57 |

| Sonic132 | Hey guys. Was wondering if there is a way to increase the thickness of the bottom panel (taskbar) in Cinnamon. | 18:37 |
| xangua | ubukou: like i said, it adds the google repository | 18:37 |
| BluesKaj | ubukou, really ? now why would they recommend a browser not designed for linux over one that is ...sounds like they were just trying to get rid of you. | 18:37 |
| rabbi1 | delse: will that get me gnome3 ? or can i update later ? | 18:37 |
| ubukou | RyoRonin, BluesKaj xangua and i am talking about 75% aw snap | 18:37 |
| Dr_willis | Sonic132, ask in the cinnamon support channels. its not an official ubuntu thang. | 18:37 |
| Sonic132 | Dr_willis: Any idea what the cinnamon support channels would be. Saves me Googling lol. | 18:38 |
| delse | rabbi1: to install gnome3 you have to install also gnome-shell | 18:38 |
| Dr_willis | Sonic132, no clue. | 18:38 |
| Sonic132 | Dr_willis: Ok well thank you anyway. | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | ubukou, purge chromium-browser , then reinstall , do an updat/upgrade before reinstalling | 18:39 |
| rabbi1 | delse: that will do for me..... :) | 18:39 |
| ubukou | BluesKaj, that what i thought too..i was accually kicked.ubukou: we don't maintain ubuntu's packages. they don't go through any of our qa process, and we don't receive automated crash dumps from them either. | 18:39 |
| ubukou | BluesKaj, that was the last message. | 18:39 |
| rabbi1 | Sonic132: www.google.com | 18:39 |

| ubukou | BluesKaj, sudo apt-get remove --purge chromium-browser ?? | 18:40 |
| BluesKaj | ubukou, yes | 18:40 |
| ubukou | BluesKaj, #chromium channel was really foul in helping out. it is a thumbs down for linux support. | 18:41 |
| rabbi1 | i infact got few bug reports sent to ubuntu, but none went successfully, one report was sent, but someone had already raised that bug | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | ubukou, then, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:41 |
| auronandace | rabbi1: can't say you didn't try | 18:41 |
| rabbi1 | chromium will die soon | 18:41 |

| Dr_willis | Cant say ive had any issues with Chromium-browser in 12.04 so far. | 18:42 |
| BluesKaj | rabbi1, what's your reason for that comment | 18:43 |
| ubukou | BluesKaj, should i purge chromium-* to include the ffmpeg that probably runs when using youtube? | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | abraoximenes, BT has its own support channels.. its not Ubuntu. | 18:43 |
| Sonic132 | Dumb question. What's Chromium Browser? You mean Chrome? | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | !bt > abraoximenes | 18:43 |

| Sidewinder | xxiao, My pleasure. | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | ubukou, no flash runs in youtube | 18:43 |
| bluefrog_ | craigbass1976, looking for this? well the simplest is to use the network manager icon then... | 18:43 |
| ubukou | BluesKaj, i use html5 | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | you need ffmpeg | 18:43 |
| craigbass1976 | bluefrog_, it's another drive I'm reading from my main drive | 18:44 |
| linelevel | Question: Does the .iso on the website change to include new security updates, or is it always the original [stable] release and users must download all updates after installation? | 18:44 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | Hey #Ubuntu, does anyone have experience modifying Clickpad settings? I have a Lenovo U300s and the trackpad is hard to use. | 18:44 |
| Dr_willis | linelevel, if they update it for security updates. they normally give it a .1 version bump. -> 12.04.1 for example. | 18:44 |
| rabbi1 | BluesKaj: if you were next to me since yesterday, would have known..... | 18:44 |
| ubukou | BluesKaj, at least i think i use html5 when running youtube there is not npviewer.bin in the xfce-task-manager. | 18:44 |
| Dr_willis | linelevel, i think they tend to do that very few months from what ive noticed. | 18:44 |
| ubukou | BluesKaj, that means i am not running flash right ? | 18:45 |
| BluesKaj | ok, then , ubukou did you remove flash ? | 18:45 |
| mneptok | rabbi1: comments like "Chromium will die soon" are offtopic. | 18:45 |

| delse | abraoximens: try to add your users to network group | 18:45 |
| ubukou | BluesKaj, no i dont think so i just chose the html5 in the youtube settings. at least i think i did, cause chromium is loaded with CPU usage when streaming videos. | 18:46 |
| BluesKaj | ubukou, flash is everywhere on the internet , just joining the html5 doesn't mean you don't need flash | 18:46 |

| mneptok | dleonardi: untrue. i'm using Chrome on Linux now. and what do you think Chromebooks use? | 18:49 |
| xangua | dleonardi: chromium is the open source proyect from wich chrome grabs it's source | 18:49 |
| hareldvd | which package contains the launcher? | 18:50 |
| Dr_willis | delerium, stuff in /tmp/ perhaps. cache files in /var/apt/cache (or was it /var/cache/apt | 18:50 |
| dleonardi | so, its the linux version. | 18:50 |
| dleonardi | :) | 18:50 |
| Dr_willis | delerium, but dont just delete stuff by hand from the apt cache.. use apt-get clean (i think) | 18:50 |
| bluefrog_ | delerium, sudo apt-get autoremove and autoclean | 18:50 |
| auronandace | dleonardi: no, both work on linux | 18:50 |
| Sonic132 | I got Chrome directly from the Google website and it works fine for me. Is that Chrome or Chromium. I'm confused. | 18:50 |
| * delerium goin in... | 18:50 | |
| dleonardi | why isnt chrome in apt then? | 18:50 |
| xangua | dleonardi: you can use chromium in other systems | 18:50 |
| mneptok | dleonardi: no, if Chromum is the Linux version of Chrome, then how am i using a Google branded product called Chrome in Linux? | 18:50 |
| Dr_willis | Sonic132, thats google-chrome | 18:50 |
| rabbi1 | one is blue circle and other is colorful circle | 18:51 |

| Dr_willis | chromium-browser is the one in the default repos. | 18:51 |
| rabbi1 | guys, chrome is off-topic please.... | 18:51 |
| Sonic132 | So then Chromium is a linux developers dream of what Chrome could be. | 18:51 |
| rabbi1 | :D | 18:51 |
| Dr_willis | google-chroms you get from google. i | 18:51 |
| dleonardi | god i sparked a flame war | 18:51 |
| Dr_willis | Sonic132, its made from the same source as far as i know. google tweaks it for their own variant i recall. | 18:51 |
| Dr_willis | I cant say ive noticed any differance in the 2. | 18:52 |
| mneptok | dleonardi: you can download the Linux version of Google Chrome, and the .deb you install will update sources to include Google repos for Chrome. | 18:52 |
| subthalamus_ | senior moment here, i've setup rtorrent before but I can't remember (nor find when searching) how to not auto start torrents from the watch directory | 18:52 |

| lgp171188 | I have a hybrid AMD Radeon+i915 GPU setup which doesn't work well on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. So wanted to use vga_switcheroo to power off the amd card.

I read about a solution where blacklist.conf was used to blacklist radeon driver instead of nomodeset and the radeon module was loaded briefly in rc.local to enabl | 18:58 |
| subthalamus_ | mneptok: I'm looking really HARD | 18:58 |
| mneptok | subthalamus_: that .rc directive is very specific about watching for .torrent files. | 18:58 |
| mneptok | subthalamus_: it will start .torrent files, because it has been told about *.torrent | 18:58 |
| mneptok | subthalamus_: so tell it to watch for something else. | 18:59 |

| wormmd | Jordan_U: I'm at a remote location so I don't want to muck with it and restart yet, but I'll check it out later this afternoon. | 19:06 |
| delerium | but I think I got ubuntu(w/0) the 'l' | 19:06 |
| wormmd | Jordan_U: I didn't pass an output file argument earlier, I wonder where that conf file got written... | 19:06 |
| Jordan_U | wormmd: To stdout :) | 19:06 |
| wormmd | Jordan_U: Oops :) | 19:06 |
| hephaistos | No one else knows of any help for triple monitor setups on 12.04? | 19:07 |
| wormmd | Jordan_U: Well, my office is unlocked at the remote location, I might go over the documentation REALLY WELL and just have someone go in and fix it if it breaks :) | 19:07 |
| hephaistos | This is rediculous. | 19:07 |
| delerium | is there an apt-get command to fix unmet deps? the gui thing got mrmoving in circles | 19:08 |
| delerium | * me moving | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | delerium: sudo apt-get -f install | 19:08 |
| hephaistos | Can anyone even see me typing? | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | hephaistos: No. | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | !patience | hephaistos | 19:08 |
| ubottu | hephaistos: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 19:08 |
| auronandace | delerium: dependency issues are often the result of 3rd party repos | 19:08 |
| wormmd | hephaistos: Yes, but no one has an answer to your question. | 19:09 |
| wormmd | Jordan_U: speaking of which, thanks for the help :) | 19:09 |
| dragonfly | Hey, I don't know if it is a bug or something I'm doing wrong, and I must not be using the right terms because Google isn't turning up much. In 12.04, whenever I install a program it is automatically added to the Launcher. (This is another discussion, but maybe it should ask first?) What I am finding is that when a program is added to the Launcher by the software center, the icon is just a grey square with a question mark. The only way I've fou | 19:09 |
| dragonfly | nd to fix it is to remove the program from the launcher, open the program from the Dash and then lock to launcher. Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas/tips? | 19:09 |

| wormmd | auronandace: I run sudo telinit 6 on my remote box in the office and wait for it to reboot | 19:25 |
| wormmd | auronandace: when I ssh back in, I'm told that it can't find my home directory and my working directory was /. | 19:26 |

| BlueEagle | BigglesPiP: If you have the GRUB menu try disabling splash | 19:57 |
| Lorphos | BlueEagle: well i haven't waited long enough perhaps.. it is not responding to pings either. It is a remote server. I do a soft-reboot and it reboots cleanly | 19:57 |

| BlueEagle | Lorphos: Any pattern as to how long the server is up before it stops responding? | 20:00 |
| Lorphos | a few minutes after I start the rsync process, apparently | 20:00 |
| guntbert | atdiehm: as a workaround you can access the shares via ~/.gvfs - that avoided those issues on my system | 20:01 |

| coleix | What's the command to check for the video card? does it give a name or brand? | 20:02 |
| Lorphos | coleix: try lshw as root | 20:02 |

| Lorphos | coleix or lspci | 20:02 |
| guntbert | atdiehm: how do you mount the shares ? | 20:03 |
| Lorphos | BlueEagle: yes, no errors in the log. i just see the normal reboot procedure after sending it ctrl+alt+del after a while | 20:03 |
| atdiehm | guntbert, like I mentioned, I had everyone just go browse for it, and add as a bookmark | 20:04 |
| atdiehm | it shows up when browsing the network... | 20:04 |
| BlueEagle | Lorphos: Well it could be defective hardware as well as defective software. The first thing I would have done is to shut down all non-essential services and just leave it running idle for a few hours. That will rule out (some) hardware issues. | 20:04 |

| BlueEagle | Lorphos: Then I would have run a very network intensive operation to check if high load alone is enough to trigger the issue. | 20:05 |
| Lorphos | BlueEagle: i think it's a software issue though because the server was running fine for the last 300 days using an older kernel | 20:05 |
| guntbert | atdiehm: ok, so the shares are mountd for every user beneath the hidden directory .gvfs in their own homedir, try to set the bookmarks there | 20:05 |

| aveng3r | can someone here answer me if the ubuntu alternate kernel image is configured to exec a different program than /sbin/init? | 20:07 |
| BlueEagle | Lorphos: Before the issue is identified it is hard to tell how it can be circumvented. | 20:08 |
| guntbert | atdiehm: thats true, but first please try if that helps at all, (and I repeat it can only be a workaround, not a real solution) | 20:08 |
| Lorphos | perhaps it's something with the rtl8139too kernel module | 20:08 |
| BlueEagle | Lorphos: For all I know it could be a 0-day caused by a bug in Apache. | 20:08 |
| aveng3r | can someone here answer me if the ubuntu alternate kernel image is configured to exec a different program than /sbin/init? | 20:08 |
| Lorphos | well i doubt that because apache is not running. | 20:08 |

| Lorphos | what's a good way to create network load? | 20:17 |

| Escherial | i fortunately have a copy of my 11.10 install, so maybe i'll just switch back to that | 20:17 |

| === q-rban is now known as q0rban | ||
| BlueEagle | sbyrne: Well since java7 is not default then default-jre-headless will not provide it (I guess) | 20:20 |
| mneptok | darkfrog: restart networking before testing the changes. | 20:20 |
| sbyrne | BlueEagle: That sucks, because lots of things depend on default-jre-headless. | 20:20 |

| MirkoKa | BigglesPiP: care to elaboreate? I use chroot regularly, but have not use btrfs yet, so what's the problem? | 20:21 |
| wormmd | phibxr: sometimes it annoys me, and sometimes it doesn't. | 20:22 |
| BlueEagle | sbyrne: It's a ponter package so they don't really rely on the default-jre-headless package they just need a jre-headless pacakge installed. I had the same thought as you on ubuntu-default though when removing a piece of software once. It wanted to remove half my system. However removing the pointer package did resolve the issue. | 20:22 |
| phibxr | wormmd, At least I'm not alone then. :) | 20:22 |
| darkfrog | mneptok: that seems to have fixed it | 20:22 |
| mneptok | darkfrog: exmohlent. | 20:22 |

| * mneptok bows | 20:23 | |
| sbyrne | BlueEagle: I wonder why default-jre-headless does not depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless | openjdk-7-jre-headless instead. | 20:23 |

| phibxr | wormmd, Oh, yes. No complaints about the fonts themselves. The Ubuntu-font is amazing. :P | 20:23 |
| wormmd | phibxr: or something... | 20:23 |
| sbyrne | BlueEagle: After install, if I try to remove openjdk-6-jre-headless it will then remove default-jre-headless and everything that depends on it. | 20:24 |
| BlueEagle | sbyrne: remove default-jre-headless first | 20:24 |

| lapion | ever since precise we cannot goto recovery mode from command lline anymore | 20:32 |
| BlueEagle | sbyrne: On the other hand the apps that depen on default-jre-headless may be compiled against those libraries may need to be recompiled with the Java7 libs | 20:33 |

| ubottu | harovali1: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

| DigiDaz_ | Can anyone tell me how to completely reinstall PAM please? | 20:56 |
| Mech0z | MirkoKa that was the full output when I put "set -x" as the second line | 20:57 |
| BlueEagle | lorenzo: Well, given that the driver for the X-server does appear to be broken you appear to be out of luck. I don't use inter chipsets so I cannot speak to this driver directly, but it may, in my opinion, as well be the X-server that is the root cause if the driver reports the s-video screen in a non-standard way. | 20:58 |
| BlueEagle | lorenzo: There is no mention of the bug in 12.04 so unless there is a particular reason NOT to upgrade I would recomend upgrading. | 20:59 |
| reide | Hi I got a cheap dedicated server to learn ubuntu, but I think I screwed it up. Is it possible to reinstall a fresh ubuntu server or do I need to contact the server host? | 21:01 |
| MirkoKa | Mech0z: should not happen. try "sudo bash upgrade_sickbeard" or "chmod +x upgrade_sickbeard && sudo ./upgrade_sickbeard" | 21:01 |
| BlueEagle | reide: You would have to contact your provider. | 21:02 |

| lorenzo | other problem: i think my USB stick is broken. It is not automounted and is not showing in fstab. Is it broken? is there something I can try? | 21:07 |
| MirkoKa | Mech0z: no, you need to convert the file from DOS/Windows text file format to Unix text file format, try "tr -d '\r' < upgrade_sickbeard > upgrade_sickbeard2" or install the dos2unix tool | 21:07 |

| lestus | i was running xubuntu 11.10, it was a full install on an external USB hdd, I've done an upgrade to 12.04 from within, and the system would boot fine on my home computer, BUT without gui, so X does't start and fails to start when i put in the command startx . since this is an external drive I hooked it up to a laptop at work, and it booted fine with X starting without problems. I noticed if I try install additional Nvidia driv | 21:08 |
| lestus | ers it won't output to external monitor but still boots on the laptop with GUI, I am now thinking I might have to enable the nvidia driver for it to boot properly on my home computer which has nvidia card, does that sound right? | 21:08 |

| dragonfly | hey, does anyone know of a good program/utility/widget to put additional clocks on a unity desktop (i want an easy reference for a couple other timezones) | 21:12 |
| Brustofski-Fan | gnome-shell-remix is not the greatest !! Had to to install ubuntu-desktop just to get lightdm to use the user desktop image.. and was not as fast as ubuntu... So installing ubuntu-desktop some how brought the ubuntu speed back!! | 21:12 |

| wylde_ | dragonfly: I don't know about widgets but you can add more timezones to the clock in the panel. | 21:13 |

| dragonfly | juan_, check and see if there is any settings for the cam in your bios | 21:21 |
| juan_ | how do i do that dragonfly | 21:21 |
| dragonfly | juan_, if it is already set to "on" or "active" in bios, try disabling it and rebooting the computer and then shutdown and turn it back on and reboot again, just to see if it makes a difference | 21:22 |

| froio | Darwin damn!!! IT DOSE NOT WORK !! HELL | 21:45 |
| froio | Darwin damn!!! IT DOSE NOT WORK !! HELL | 21:46 |
| jeremiah_ | dragonfly, i have a prob then. it says it is already installed, but on metatube, it says i need flashplayer 9 or later. why? | 21:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !details | froio | 21:46 |
| ubottu | froio: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:46 |
| froio | i did it now | 21:46 |
| craigbass1976 | "Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied." I keep getting that while trying to start a dhcp server. Anyone knwo what to do about it? I thought it was a bug as of 4/26 that might have gotten fixed with the release of 12.04 (and I've got a server running on 12.04 somewhere else) but I've updated this box and it still "ain't happenin'" | 21:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: did what now? | 21:46 |
| froio | i did the same things of here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From_Mac_OSX | 21:46 |
| invinciblemutant | virtualbox freezes when loaded win7 64 bit | 21:46 |
| dragonfly | lestus, what did u enter into the command line? | 21:46 |
| tyler_d | craigbass1976: start it as a service | 21:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: ok, and what happened? did you get an error, etc? | 21:46 |
| invinciblemutant | anyone knows what is the problem with virtualbox freezes after loaded win7 64 bit | 21:47 |
| froio | black screen after it gose on the windows side | 21:47 |
| dragonfly | jeremiah_, is it one of those sites that says "click here to install" and then when u do it gives you a weird .exe file? | 21:47 |
| froio | black screen after it gose on the windows side | 21:47 |
| lestus | jeremiah_, open firefox, then go to metatube, it should come up with install missing plugins in firefox, click on that and go through the installation, that fixed it for me | 21:47 |
| invinciblemutant | it freezes the ubuntu host OS too | 21:47 |
| froio | Darwin black screen after it gose on the windows side | 21:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: windows? | 21:47 |
| froio | yes i have mac and windows and refit | 21:47 |
| jeremiah_ | lestus, i was waiting for that to. never came though. | 21:47 |

| darkfrog | I have http://www.sansdigital.com/towerraid-/tr5mplusb.html and I've gotten the driver to install and show up as "/dev/sr0: LABEL="TowerRAID eSATA_" TYPE="iso9660"" in blkid....I have five 3tb drives on the machine and I want to RAID-5 it...can I do that from Linux directly or do I need to use the software for it? | 21:47 |
| froio | ok | 21:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: so the computer is booting into windows and not the usb stick? | 21:48 |
| dragonfly | froio, please let's back up and start at the beginning, what do you have now and what are you trying to do? | 21:48 |
| jeremiah_ | dragonfly, no, it takes me to the adobe flash download page | 21:48 |
| froio | yes | 21:48 |
| froio | exactly | 21:48 |
| froio | i want install ubuntu but i can't boot it | 21:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: ok, so you followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From_Mac_OSX and then rebooted the computer but the computer does not boot the flash drive? | 21:48 |
| craigbass1976 | tyler_d, same error | 21:49 |
| lestus | how do i create a text file in shell? | 21:49 |
| froio | yes | 21:49 |
| lestus | what command do i use | 21:49 |
| froio | yes | 21:49 |
| zykotic10 | lestus: one way would be "touch file.txt" | 21:49 |
| iceroot | lestus: touch filename | 21:49 |
| BlueEagle | lestus: Do you want to simply create it or also edit the contents of it? | 21:49 |
| lestus | iceroot, thanks | 21:49 |
| lestus | BlueEagle, ok so edit as well then? | 21:49 |
| dragonfly | lestus, you can touch it (as the other two just said) but if your putting the output of another command there, it can be created at that time.... | 21:50 |
| BlueEagle | lestus: My favorite console editor is joe, but nano and pico are also very popular. | 21:50 |
| tyler_d | craigbass1976: `touch /var/run/dhcpd.pid(i think)` and see if you can make it that way | 21:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: ok, I'm not very familiar with Mac's, but is there some kind of BIOS or UEFI that you can go into and make sure it has "boot from USB" enabled? | 21:50 |
| MistuhKurtz | How can you have apt-get tell you which packages need upgrading? | 21:50 |
| dragonfly | lestus, try this, I have it handy from someone else needing it earlier... df -h >> output.txt | 21:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: or a "hit F12 to enter boot menu" prompt when starting up? | 21:50 |
| froio | Darwin it dose not exist on mac | 21:50 |
| dragonfly | it should create output.txt and if you open that file it will be your current disk usage | 21:50 |

| froio | Darwin -.- not f21 -.- | 21:50 |
| wormmd | MistuhKurtz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:50 |
| lestus | dragonfly, ok done the command now where do i find the file? | 21:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: well, is there another key you can hit to chose what to boot from? It sounds like the computer is checking the HDD first and booting that without looking at the USB drive | 21:51 |
| MistuhKurtz | Yes I know that will update things wormmd | 21:51 |
| dragonfly | what directory are you currently in? | 21:51 |
| MistuhKurtz | I'm curious to know what packages need updating though. | 21:51 |
| lestus | just ~$ | 21:51 |
| froio | i chooose where it should boot!!!! | 21:51 |
| wormmd | MistuhKurtz: ...Just run that command and say no. | 21:51 |
| craigbass1976 | tyler_d, although, it'd giving otu addresses; I just can't get through it to the outside world. Right now I'm on a laptop vnc-ed into the server (because I can't reach the server from where I'm cooking) and the laptop got an address from said server. | 21:51 |
| froio | i choose the usb!!! | 21:51 |
| dragonfly | ok, lestus then that file should be in your home directory | 21:51 |
| froio | but after come out the black screen and boot on windows side | 21:52 |
| lestus | dragonfly, found it | 21:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: the computer doesn't give an error when selecting the usb? | 21:52 |
| lestus | dragonfly, yea it just creates it in home directory | 21:52 |
| froio | NO | 21:52 |
| froio | NO ERROR | 21:52 |
| lestus | dragonfly, thanks for the help | 21:52 |
| tyler_d | craigbass1976: soo the proc is running is what your saying? | 21:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: well, it sounds like a mac bootloader issue and unfortunately I am unfamiliar with them. | 21:52 |

| MistuhKurtz | what's the difference between dist-upgrade and upgrade wormmd ? | 21:53 |
| dragonfly | lestus, you could put it anywhere...by default it puts it in current working directory...so if you cd /some/directory before running the command, then the file will be in /some/directory....or, you can tell it where to put it like: df -h >> /some/directory/file.txt | 21:53 |
| froio | please i want install ubuntu HELL | 21:53 |
| nemo | FWIW, pulse audio problems went away after downgrading from 12.04 to 11.10 | 21:53 |
| zykotic10 | MistuhKurtz: dist-upgrade = full-upgrade, regular upgrade doesn't upgrade everything | 21:53 |
| iceroot | MistuhKurtz: dist-upgrade will also change others packages, upgrade will only touch the package itself and no depending packages | 21:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: please do not ask generic questions. When asking for a new person to help, please re-state the problem you are experiencing | 21:54 |

| lestus | dragonfly, ah true ok thanks, i just tried it and it worked fine this time.. hehe | 21:54 |
| nemo | Hangs were happening in 12.04 in analog and hdmi. | 21:54 |
| MistuhKurtz | yeah i was reading through the man | 21:54 |
| wormmd | MistuhKurtz: dist-upgrade may install additional packages to meet new dependencies for updated packages. | 21:54 |
| nemo | BTW, I've had repeated hangs in apps that use sound on different computers in 12.04 | 21:54 |
| dragonfly | MistuhKurtz, dist-upgrade upgrades to the new distribution of the OS upgrade just upgrades the packages to new versions packaged for the currently running version of the OS | 21:54 |
| iceroot | dragonfly: wrong | 21:54 |
| zykotic10 | dragonfly: do it doesn'1 | 21:54 |

| dragonfly | iceroot, oh.....I thought that was how it worked...hmmm, obviously I don't upgrade too often :S | 21:56 |
| escott | MistuhKurtz, you can also use ssh-copy-id | 21:56 |
| john_288 | escott, I'm back, the graphics card installation didn't seem to change anything. My system details are even still reading the same. | 21:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: please try booting from a cd if your machine has a cdrom. cd's are a MUCH more trouble-free medium for installation, ESPECIALLY on apple machines | 21:56 |
| craigbass1976 | tyler_d, it seems so, but the error makes me wonder. | 21:56 |
| MistuhKurtz | what's ssh-copy-id escott ? | 21:57 |
| wormmd | gtg, back soon probably :) | 21:57 |
| wormmd | Thanks to everyone who helped! | 21:57 |
| iceroot | dragonfly: for security updates you should always use dist-upgrade, for a distribution update do-release-upgrade | 21:57 |
| froio | i can use dvd '?? | 21:57 |
| tyler_d | craigbass1976: can you stat the pid file? and what does ps aux show for the proc? | 21:57 |
| escott | john_288, can you paste the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 21:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | froio: yes | 21:57 |

| dragonfly | alusion, are you making any progress on your issue? I don't even remember what you were trying to accomplish :S | 22:24 |
| alusion | Thanks, i'll be pasting the output of dx -h now, is that correct? | 22:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: dx is not a command. you want either du (current folder size) or df (size of mounted drives) | 22:25 |
| dragonfly | alusion, df -h | 22:25 |
| alusion | dragonfly, unable to boot into ubuntu, my computer freezes at the boot splash screen | 22:25 |
| alusion | df -h ah okay | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: wat video chip do you use? | 22:25 |
| alusion | Saphire radeon 6850 | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: add the boot option: nomodeset may help | 22:26 |
| docid | ActionParsnip, thanks for the paste, heres where im at so far, still only comes up in 640x480.... cant seem to find anybody wuilling to upload a valid edid rip for this screen either http://paste.ubuntu.com/976864/ | 22:26 |
| alusion | How would I issue that command? | 22:26 |
| LiNuX`sup | is it normal for /etc/X11/xorg.conf to be empty? | 22:26 |
| iceroot | LiNuX`sup: yes | 22:26 |
| docid | not unheard of LiNuX`sup | 22:27 |
| iceroot | LiNuX`sup: udev is doing the job now | 22:27 |
| escott | LiNuX`sup, yes | 22:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: ope a terminal (it's in the app launcher screen | 22:27 |
| docid | just means it hasent been customized | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoption | alusion | 22:27 |
| ubottu | alusion: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 22:27 |
| LiNuX`sup | could that possible be why I'm having mouse input issues while gaming? | 22:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: the new ubuntu does not use an xorg.con, instead you will notice a bunch of files in xorg.conf.d/ which replace it | 22:28 |
| retis | i just installed glassfish 2.2 in my ubuntu 10.04, but not able to run it,can anyone please help me..(i am novice in both ubuntu and glassfish environment) | 22:28 |
| docid | DarwinSurvivor, 12.04 uses seperate xorg files? | 22:28 |
| LiNuX`sup | since being on the new ubuntu I have input issues I didn't have in 11.10 I'm trying to get my mouse working like it did in 11.10, what files would I look into editing? | 22:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | docid: I think they started that a *few* releases ago... | 22:29 |
| docid | on 11.10 here, and have single xorg.conf | 22:29 |
| dragonfly | alusion, did you pastebin that output? | 22:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: please describe your issues. is it just the wrong sensitivity, or is it stopping/jerky/etc? | 22:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | docid: hmm, maybe it's only the latest then, let me check | 22:29 |
| LiNuX`sup | nothing like that it's an input issue. I have to release all keys from keyboard in order for it to recognize mousewheel or any of my non standard mouse buttons | 22:30 |
| alusion | http://pastebin.com/JUuPEv7v | 22:30 |
| alusion | meh.. | 22:30 |
| wormmd | I made some changes to /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub, which generated a new grub.conf file in /boot/grub, but when I rebooted, grub exhibited the old behavior before the change. What gives? | 22:30 |
| LiNuX`sup | it's quite a big issue during and FPS. I have to completely stop in order to swwitch a weapon etc. | 22:30 |
| docid | LiNuX`sup, sounds um, bizzar.... interupt issues? | 22:30 |
| LiNuX`sup | yes it doesn't seem to be limited by # of inputs as I can still use key bindings on the keyboard while moving | 22:31 |
| LiNuX`sup | it only effect mouse3/4/5 | 22:31 |
| LiNuX`sup | mouse 1/2 work fine as does tracking | 22:31 |
| craigbass1976 | tyler_d Sorry, I was eating dinner. I don't see that traffic is getting past eth0 to eth1 tcpdump -i eth0 | grep 192.168.1 was what I ran. | 22:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | docid: hmm, my other 11.10 issue doesn't have either an xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d entry... weird | 22:31 |
| tyler_d | craigbass1976: does the forward show in your ip tables? | 22:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: and the issue is system-wide (not just in the game)? | 22:32 |
| dragonfly | alusion, so it looks like you have two very large drives and both are about half full | 22:32 |
| docid | hrmm, well, this monitor is known to work with ati cards , and any card in windows... grrrr... guess thats what ya get for buying a $330 27" 2560x1440 panel from south korea | 22:32 |
| netsavy006 | Hello All. | 22:33 |
| FLeiXiuS | I love how xubuntu sees my iphone as a battery backup device. | 22:33 |
| docid | lol, wont get much power off that | 22:33 |
| netsavy006 | I'm trying to set up our networked printer. I'm on Linux and my bro is on Windows Vista (the printer is connected to the Vista PC). | 22:33 |
| netsavy006 | when I try to print I get the following message: | 22:33 |
| craigbass1976 | krababbel, I can ping both nics from my laptop; laptop side: 192.168.0.3 and wan side: 192.168.1.46 | 22:34 |
| netsavy006 | "Unable to connect to CIFS host" | 22:34 |
| netsavy006 | What do I do from here? | 22:34 |
| docid | that would be a shared printer, a network printer is not hooked up to a computer directly | 22:34 |
| craigbass1976 | tyler_d, I'mnot running iptables. I've read elsewhere about using it for this, but I could have sworn I never installed it | 22:34 |
| docid | ima gonna beat my head a little buit more before taking this thing home and ripping the edid in win7 | 22:34 |
| LiNuX`sup | DarwinSurvivor: I held down my move forward key and was able to scroll up, so it seems to only be effecting while in game. I only did an upgrade from 11.10 which all devices/installs worked fine | 22:35 |
| docid | iptables is part of the default install | 22:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: is it a wine game? | 22:35 |
| tyler_d | craigbass1976: how are handling the forwarding of the traffic? | 22:35 |
| LiNuX`sup | no I'm running ioquake3 naitivly | 22:35 |
| craigbass1976 | tyler_d, well I'm not I guess. | 22:35 |
| wormmd | Blegh, I hate to ask questions and then leave, but I gotta jet. I'll be back in tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone who helped out earlier! | 22:36 |
| invinciblemutant | DarwinSurvivor: hi there me again | 22:36 |
| craigbass1976 | tyler_d, I don;t see anything about iptables in/etc | 22:36 |
| tyler_d | craigbass1976: may want to work that out then :p | 22:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: hmm, I run that myself :) I know the original quake had LOTS of issue with scrollwheels (supposedly fixed in ioquake3). is the issue persistant (can NEVER switch weapons while running) or you just have to scroll a few times first? | 22:36 |
| retis | i just installed glassfish 2.2 in my ubuntu 10.04, but not able to run it,can anyone please help me..(i am novice in both ubuntu and glassfish environment) | 22:36 |
| tyler_d | craigbass1976: configure a forward and work it from there :) | 22:37 |
| escott | craigbass1976, /etc/ufw | 22:37 |
| LiNuX`sup | no I literally have to release any movement keys | 22:37 |
| netsavy006 | I don't know how to proceed with my printer error. I installed the printer drivers on my pc. | 22:37 |
| LiNuX`sup | and ioquake3 worked perfectly before upgrading :( | 22:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: and switching weapons via the numbers works while running? | 22:37 |
| krababbel | craigbass1976: in a debian vm this worked out of the box, you already enabled ip forwarding... Did you try setting a static interface on a host, I didn't use dhcp. | 22:37 |
| LiNuX`sup | I didn't see windoze for an entire 3 months I was happy then | 22:37 |
| LiNuX`sup | yes it does | 22:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: was ioquake3 installed from software center or the .bin installer? | 22:38 |
| krababbel | craigbass1976: using ip commands, ip addr add, ip route add default ... | 22:38 |
| LiNuX`sup | software center | 22:38 |
| LiNuX`sup | or synaptic maybe | 22:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: ok, rules out the need for a matchin release :( | 22:38 |
| LiNuX`sup | I don't think I built it | 22:38 |
| LiNuX`sup | the game itself runs fine aside the mouse conflict | 22:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: which pak0 file are you using? the one from the retail game or a free (like openarena) one? | 22:39 |
| Demolitio | anyone know of any decent SIP softphone apps? | 22:39 |
| === ben__438 is now known as benjoldersma | ||
| LiNuX`sup | DarwinSurvivor: is there a place to get settings for the 1800 dpi deathadder? | 22:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !sip | Demolitio | 22:40 |
| ubottu | Demolitio: ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga | 22:40 |
| LiNuX`sup | I copied it from my windows, I own like 4 copies of it | 22:40 |
| LiNuX`sup | used to have a clan, got copies for members that couldn't find it | 22:40 |
| LiNuX`sup | I found a razer tool for the copperhead but nothing on the deathadder :/ | 22:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: ok, can you try temporarily moving your .q3a folder to a new name (so you can try the game "fresh") and see if the problem perists? | 22:41 |
| LiNuX`sup | I guess that could be worth a shot | 22:41 |
| Demolitio | hmm..... I need a SIP client with fax capabilities. arrh. | 22:41 |
| LiNuX`sup | I'm going to try will get back to you | 22:41 |
| incog | | 22:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LiNuX`sup: ok | 22:41 |
| LiNuX`sup | thanks DarwinSurvivor | 22:41 |
| Karmaon | so during the install language packs | 22:45 |

| harold | when I do apt-get install pyp, I see that it's not available... but googling it, I see this one result: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/pyp | 22:45 |
| harold | I don't really undersatnd...can I somehow install pyp easily? if yes, how? | 22:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | harold: what is pyp? | 22:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | harold: the page says "awk like tool with python" does it have a homepage or something? | 22:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | harold: according to http://code.google.com/p/pyp/ pyp appears to be a rather new system, so chances are it won't be in the repos until at least 12.10 | 22:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | harold: best bet is to contact the developers and ask them to release a .deb package or create a PPA to install from | 22:48 |
| Celltech | I'm technically on lubuntu cause it's cool. And now for some reason. when I shut down and turn my computer back on. the "select version" screen now shows up. Are those "headers" I can remove? | 22:48 |
| tfitts_ | I'm trying to upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 12.04LTS and in the process of upgrading I'm getting a bunch of errors like W:Failed to fetch http://s2plmirror01.prod.sdl2.secureserver.net/ubuntu/dists/natty/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found and it won't complete. is this mirror down or something? | 22:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Celltech: please describe the "select version" screen. do you mean the grub prompt http://buzzcodington.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/grub.jpg ? | 22:50 |
| Celltech | Yeah. With the ubuntu recovery, and some other options. It used to boot straight to lubuntu | 22:51 |
| tfitts_ | can anyone see this or do I have to use a registered nick to type in this channel? | 22:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Celltech: so you just don't want to see the screen anymore? | 22:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tfitts_: we can see you | 22:52 |
| tfitts_ | ok | 22:52 |
| Celltech | Well if other stuff got installed I'd like to get rid of it. I liked my stock install from the beginning | 22:52 |
| tfitts_ | so anyone know about the 404 errors with upgrading to natty? | 22:52 |
| krababbel | tfitts_: everyone | 22:52 |
| krababbel | tfitts_: !ask | 22:53 |
| krababbel | o well | 22:53 |

| Celltech | Is E17 a good desktop? | 22:53 |

| kingbeast_ | them* | 22:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kingbeast_: We had a whole bunch of people with that issue a while ago and unfortunately I don't think there was a way to fix it. | 22:55 |
| krababbel | kingbeast_: uninstall libvdpau1 or put 'EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1' in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg | 22:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kingbeast_: I stand corrected :) | 22:56 |
| krababbel | kingbeast_: thes second one is crashy :) | 22:56 |

| Molit | anyone help, just upgraded to 12.04 and cannot connect to windows shares | 22:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | celthunder: if you just want to get rid of the "select a version" prompt, you will need to adjust the grub settings. what version of lubuntu are you running? (11.10, 12.04, etc) | 22:57 |
| krababbel | DarwinSurvivor: it is a bug in flash, and not easy to fix | 22:57 |

| kingbeast_ | got it | 22:58 |
| celthunder | DarwinSurvivor: lol was going to say... | 22:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: why are you adding a repository to install php? | 22:58 |
| AlphaPinky | Because I am getting an error. ´Failed to fetch´ | 22:58 |
| eide_ | Hi, I have ubuntu server 10.04, I'm trying to open a port, I've tried configuring iptables and using ufw, but I cannot get the port open according to canyouseeme.org | 22:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: ok, let's start at the ROOT problem then. what was the first issue you had (ex: need php) | 22:58 |
| AlphaPinky | I want a media wiki. | 22:59 |
| Molit | I have a problem connecting to windows shares on a windows 2003 server from ubuntu 12.04 i386 desktop, it repeatedly asks for the password but does not connect, using mount -t cifs from a prompt indicates a cifs mount failed error 13 | 22:59 |
| iceroot | eide_: ports are not blocked by default so no need to open it | 22:59 |
| AlphaPinky | So I tried to install but it required PHP. | 22:59 |
| iceroot | eide_: the program itself will open the port | 22:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | eide_: a port can not just be "opened", something (apache, openssh, etc) needs to be listening on it as well! | 22:59 |
| dubz | does anyone have guide for new ubuntu user � | 22:59 |

| DarwinSurvivor | Molit: please pastebin the terminal session | 23:21 |
| escott | raelsam, then thats the problem | 23:21 |

| craigbass1976 | Oh, and I'm in 12.04 | 23:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | retis: installing from .bin files is *highly* discouraged as there is no way of know what they are doing. please use the glassfish package in the repositories! | 23:28 |
| retis | DarwinSurvivor, how will i find glassfish 2.1.1 and netbean 6.7.1 in repositories,i am really sorry ,i am novice in ubuntu also in glassfish netbean platform | 23:31 |
| MiCRoWeB | quit | 23:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | retis: please open the "software center" and search in there for the tools you need | 23:32 |

| AlphaPinky | DarwinSurvivor, you are soo active here =O | 23:35 |
| * AlphaPinky is still installing. He has a slow internet connection. | 23:36 | |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: I have been lately :) | 23:36 |
| AlphaPinky | What moves you? | 23:36 |

| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: I do a lot of ubuntu work (I'm also a brainstorm moderator). I used the irc a lot when I was starting out, so this is my way of paying it back :) | 23:37 |
| AlphaPinky | cool :) | 23:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: did you get mediawiki working? | 23:37 |
| fishcooker | is there any option for ubuntu to hibernate? | 23:38 |
| AlphaPinky | DarwinSurvivor, it is still downloading... :( | 23:38 |
| retis | DarwinSurvivor, unfobuntu unfortunately i couldnt able to find that in ubuntu software source,can you please tell me any other solution... | 23:38 |
| AlphaPinky | 35min remaining | 23:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fishcooker: yes there is, you do need a swap partition that is at least as big as your ram though | 23:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: ok | 23:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: is this a new ubuntu installation? | 23:40 |
| AlphaPinky | yes. it is updating. | 23:40 |
| AlphaPinky | I think the ISO i used isnt the latest. | 23:40 |
| raptor67782 | hello. I am looking for a desktop to place postits into my screen like twidleview / twins stuffs | 23:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: if you don't have much installed already, it may be a good idea to reinstall to undo what-ever the .bin installer did | 23:41 |
| raptor67782 | would you know a program for that? | 23:41 |
| DX099 | any news ? | 23:41 |
| AlphaPinky | right | 23:41 |
| AlphaPinky | I plan running Ubuntu on a VMWare server I have available. Which version should I install? | 23:42 |
| razorblade446 | Hey, there is other alternative to fancontrol and lm-sensors? | 23:42 |
| netsavy006 | Hi guys. | 23:42 |
| netsavy006 | I'm in need of some help. | 23:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DX099: no, I was waiting for you to come back | 23:42 |
| netsavy006 | I can't print to the network printer. | 23:43 |
| netsavy006 | I have the drivers installed on my pc. | 23:43 |
| DX099 | DarwinSurvivor, I was there, I answered you twice... | 23:43 |
| netsavy006 | I'm getting this message: "Unable to connect to CIFS host" | 23:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: well 12.04 is an LTS release which is good, if you want *super* stable, try the previous LTS (10.04) | 23:43 |
| AlphaPinky | 12.04 is fine. | 23:44 |
| AlphaPinky | My doubt is about which version. | 23:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: you maen 32 vs 64 bit? | 23:44 |
| netsavy006 | I'm using v. 11.04 (Natty) | 23:44 |
| AlphaPinky | Server or Cloud? | 23:44 |
| DX099 | Or maybe can't I pm you ? like I said, I answered twice. I said the issue happened a few minutes ago, never had it with precise | 23:44 |
| Na_Klar | Suddenly my internal speakers on my hp laptop do not work anymore. Only the audio output works. Know problem? | 23:44 |
| smw | Na_Klar, no, if you find out let me know ;-) | 23:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: oh. I don't know anythong about the cloud version, sorry. But I have used the server version with great success | 23:45 |
| netsavy006 | do I need to install a package or something? | 23:45 |
| AlphaPinky | thanks. Ill use Server version then. | 23:45 |
| razorblade446 | Alternatives to fancontrol? | 23:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DX099: the issue is most likely stale gnome settings. try deleting the gnome settings folders (~/.gnome* ~/.conf/gnome*) and then logging out/in again | 23:46 |
| soreau | Hey guys, my 'server' box is running 10.04 desktop LTS edition. I would like to upgrade it to 12.04 but even though I have settings to notify on LTS release, it has not notified me. I read an askubuntu post that said users should wait for the 12.04 point release in July. What is a point release, and is there any way to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 currently? | 23:46 |
| ubukou | does anyone know if theres a gtk theme manager to edit the gtkrc file? | 23:47 |
| DX099 | DarwinSurvivor, Ok, I'll try that | 23:47 |
| mongo_ | so all 4 "work spaces" are really just one large workspace as far as the compositor cares in unity correct? | 23:47 |
| wylde | soreau: the 12.04 upgrade won't show until the point release. To upgrade now you need to use 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' | 23:49 |
| wylde | soreau: and always make backups! :) Just sayin' | 23:50 |
| soreau | wylde: What is a point release and what is the benefit to wait for it? (yes, backups were very first thing I did) | 23:50 |
| === milind_ is now known as abyss42 | ||
| wylde | soreau: I believe. it's simply an interim period to get any serious issues worked out before updating "production" machines. | 23:51 |
| smw | hi all. I installed ubuntu 12.04 using both the desktop cd and alternative | 23:51 |
| smw | when I boot I get "error file not found\n grub rescue>" | 23:52 |
| soreau | wylde: So if I upgrade now, naturally it will get to the 'point release' with progressive upgrades? | 23:52 |
| smw | anyone know what might be happening? why is my grub messed up every time I install? | 23:52 |
| wylde | soreau: yep, if you keep up with updates. | 23:52 |
| soreau | wylde: Alright, thanks for the tips. I will try do-release-upgrade (which I thought would have been the same as upgrade-manager -d, but apparently not) | 23:53 |
| wylde | soreau: possibly, I've only used do-release-upgrade -d *shrug* | 23:53 |
| tim__b | did anyone manage to build kaffeine 0.8.7/0.8.8 on precise? i can't manage to get the needed kdelibs (namely kdelibs4c2a) to install, as they're not in the backports anymore... | 23:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | smw: you used 2 cd's for installing? | 23:54 |
| smw | DarwinSurvivor, I did it 3 times | 23:54 |
| smw | DarwinSurvivor, twice with the alternative cd, once with the desktop cd | 23:55 |
| soreau | wylde: well I don't want to upgrade to the -d(evelopment) version.. want to keep it on 12.04 release | 23:55 |
| DX099 | I gave no good :/ | 23:56 |
| wylde | soreau: afaik until point release that's the only way, there hasn't been anything released for Quantal yet anyway, has there? I suppose you could do what I did for one of my machines. I downloaded the actual install iso and upgraded from that :) | 23:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DX099: can you please post a link to where you acquired the themes? it could be that they are too old. | 23:57 |
| soreau | well that's stupid, -d says check for devel release but without it, wont detect 12.04 release | 23:57 |
| === ryan is now known as Guest85595 | ||
| soreau | I guess the point release might trigger the upgrade then | 23:57 |
| wylde | soreau: yes, they won't let it flag as available until the point release | 23:58 |
| t0rx__ | anyone know how to drop to a busybox prompt from the "enter passphrase" prompt for an encrypted drive? | 23:58 |
| soreau | wylde: I am prepared to do a clean install but I wanted to give this a chance as I've never tested the LTS->LTS upgrade path | 23:58 |
| wylde | soreau: I "upgraded" of the disc :) It has that option now. | 23:59 |
| DX099 | DarwinSurvivor, mostly from devianart. I especially checked their 3.4 compatibility. Besides, gnome was already at 3.4 before the crash/issue and they were working, as well as Icon themes which besides shouldn't be affected i think | 23:59 |
| wylde | off* | 23:59 |
| t0rx__ | I can ctrl+alt+backspace to kill X, I thought ctrl+c would get me there but nothing | 23:59 |
| grkblood | how do i enable vsync? | 23:59 |
| wylde | soreau: 10.04 to 12.04 from a CD made with the install iso. | 23:59 |
