| soreau | wylde: Well I downloaded xubuntu for now. This unity fiasco is simply horrid. I don't see how canonical can stamp their name on such garbage | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| DarwinSurvivor | DX099: it's very difficult for us to debug a non-working theme if we don't know what theme isn't working! | 00:00 |
| wylde | soreau: lol, I felt the same way, I firced myself to use unity, it has made a LOT of progress. It still does take some getting used to. | 00:00 |
| wylde | forced* | 00:01 |
| soreau | wylde: Well it's upgrading now with do-release-upgrade -d. Hopefully it will JustWork | 00:03 |
| wylde | soreau: only issue I ran into was reconfiguring a couple of packages on my "server" machine. | 00:04 |
| soreau | wylde: Oh, I configure my machines until they're almost not recognizable ubuntu installations ;) I just wanted to test an LTS->LTS upgrade and see how it pans out. My default usage is usually to always install fresh, as upgrades are problematic | 00:06 |
| soreau | though I usually just tell that to people in general support | 00:06 |
| DX099 | DarwinSurvivor, All of them, apart from Ambiance. Window themes are changing (Metacity if I'm right). But as for GTK themes and Icon themes, I can't change anything. I'm stuck to Ambiance and regular gnome icon theme. Even when trying from "Appearance" menu, Adwaita (default gnome shell) will just change its window, but the inner decoration will still remain Ambiance. | 00:07 |
| wylde | soreau: I typically do fresh installs as well. I too decided to try it out this time. I only had a few minor issues, although I've heard some horror stories. | 00:07 |
| soreau | wylde: I assume if you don't know what you're doing, things could get messy pretty quick ;) | 00:07 |
| IdleOne | wylde, soreau chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 00:07 |
| BrianH | Hey guys, anyone using Kazam for screen capture? | 00:08 |
| wylde | IdleOne: alrighty </ot> | 00:08 |
| soreau | IdleOne: Excuse me sir, I am getting support upgrading from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS | 00:08 |
| IdleOne | soreau: all I see is you complaining about Unity (again) and talking about what you usually recommend. | 00:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DX099: sorry, but I can't think of anything else to do to resolve your issue. | 00:09 |
| BrianH | Trying to find out what's causing a shadow on the top when compiz effects are recorded. This software is incredible in comparison to recordmydesktop, but I'm still getting some Compiz recording errors. | 00:09 |
| DX099 | DarwinSurvivor, :/. Thanks anyway for trying | 00:09 |
| soreau | IdleOne: Please don't start with me | 00:09 |
| IdleOne | soreau: ok. I won't | 00:10 |
| soreau | Thank you. | 00:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oh, he left. I was going to suggest trying gnome's irc channel (not on freenode though) :( | 00:11 |
| k1lumin4t1 | hey | 00:11 |
| k1lumin4t1 | I'm on AMD Phenom II X6 4 GB RAM gear. Shoud I use 32 bits or 64 bits distro? | 00:11 |
| szal | def'ly 64bit | 00:12 |
| BrianH | k1lumin4t1, why wouldn't you use 64bit? | 00:12 |
| k1lumin4t1 | szal, what about packaged availability? | 00:12 |
| k1lumin4t1 | BrianH, I dunno, that's what I'm asking... What about packages? | 00:12 |
| szal | unless you absolutely need something that is available for 32bit only AND doesn't play nice on 64bit | 00:12 |
| pibarnas | k1lumin4t1: 64 | 00:12 |
| BrianH | k1lumin4t1, it's practically the same. Is there something in particular you don't think will run? | 00:13 |
| k1lumin4t1 | BrianH, not a clue at the moment | 00:13 |
| k1lumin4t1 | BrianH, I work a lot with audio apps | 00:14 |
| BrianH | k1lumin4t1, I have the X4 and run 64 bit, never had a problem. | 00:14 |
| k1lumin4t1 | BrianH, and software development and design apps | 00:14 |
| k1lumin4t1 | BrianH, nice | 00:14 |
| k1lumin4t1 | I'm on linux mint at the moment | 00:14 |
| k1lumin4t1 | linux mint 12 | 00:14 |
| k1lumin4t1 | but.... it's not doing ok | 00:14 |
| k1lumin4t1 | so I'm going with ubuntu 12.04 | 00:14 |
| szal | heck, even most proprietary stuff is available in 64bit nowadays | 00:14 |
| k1lumin4t1 | linux mint has 3 issues I cant bear hacking | 00:15 |
| pibarnas | k1lumin4t1: ??? | 00:15 |
| fishcooker | what is it k1lumin4t1 | 00:15 |
| k1lumin4t1 | if I want hacking I then go with debian | 00:15 |
| gallit | / | 00:16 |
| k1lumin4t1 | pibarnas, ? | 00:16 |
| k1lumin4t1 | fishcooker, what is it what? | 00:16 |
| szal | and I'd absolutely recommend spending the €20 (or equivalent in other currency) on an upgrade to 8 GB RAM | 00:16 |
| fishcooker | hacking what? | 00:16 |
| k1lumin4t1 | szal, I have 12 GB | 00:16 |
| pibarnas | k1lumin4t1: what are them? | 00:16 |
| pibarnas | they* | 00:16 |
| mongo_ | heck I just got 16GB in 2*8 1600mhz dimms for $99 | 00:16 |
| szal | k1lumin4t1: you said 4 GB above | 00:16 |
| k1lumin4t1 | fishcooker, pibarnas: OpenGL won't work with my Geforce 7000 and it used to work | 00:16 |
| k1lumin4t1 | fishcooker, pibarnas: it isn't doing clean restarts | 00:17 |
| k1lumin4t1 | szal, I made a mistake | 00:17 |
| k1lumin4t1 | in fact | 00:17 |
| fishcooker | again nVidia package issue | 00:17 |
| k1lumin4t1 | it isn't restarting at all | 00:17 |
| fishcooker | hhmmmm, not only on ubuntu on fed* | 00:17 |
| k1lumin4t1 | fishcooker, I'm using the driver from the webpage | 00:17 |
| fishcooker | also | 00:17 |
| k1lumin4t1 | what? | 00:17 |

| gallit | k1lumin4t1: read my message to kaffien | 00:21 |
| Russ_W | I was changing UI to get closer to 10.04 look-and-feel. Xubuntu is fitting the bill | 00:21 |

| gallit | k1lumin4t1: ok but ubuntu has a bad nvidia driver in its stable repo f | 00:22 |
| ficarra1002 | Will this run 12.04 well? | 00:22 |
| gallit | k1lumin4t1: (as usual) for your card | 00:23 |
| ficarra1002 | Probably XFCE or lxde. | 00:23 |
| fishcooker | ficarra1002: running well here | 00:23 |
| szal | ficarra1002: what the what is that URL? | 00:23 |
| k1lumin4t1 | gallit, shall I then use the one from nvidia page | 00:23 |

| gallit | k1lumin4t1: it | 00:23 |
| fishcooker | but if u want to try gnome3 try fed* | 00:23 |
| szal | kappa19: what program? | 00:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fishcooker: xubuntu has about the same requirements as ubuntu (usually recommend 1GB), lubuntu is better for less memory | 00:23 |
| ficarra1002 | szal Screenshot | 00:23 |
| Jynks | Hi guys... I wish to compleatly reinstall and replace my old ubuntu installation. I am at the liveCD graphical installer.. there is an option called "erase ubuntu 12.04 LTS and reinstall" .... I am using a duel boot into windows 7.. this option will ONLY erase the ubuntu install right? Windows7 will be left.. and will it also redo the grub launcher? | 00:23 |
| kappa19 | nav-3.7.0 | 00:23 |
| ficarra1002 | fishcooker: Same dell? | 00:24 |
| gallit | k1lumin4t1: will probably take months for ubuntu to get a working driver in their repo knowing them | 00:24 |
| szal | !info nav | 00:24 |
| ubottu | Package nav does not exist in precise | 00:24 |
| fishcooker | nope ASus here | 00:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fishcooker: you would probably be fine with regular ubuntu by adding $20 worth of ram... | 00:24 |
| ficarra1002 | fishcooker: P4? | 00:24 |
| fishcooker | i3 | 00:24 |
| fishcooker | :p | 00:24 |
| avinashhm | Hi , i am using a 12.04 ubuntu .. i installed virtual box in this and then installed ubutu 10.04 in the virtual box . | 00:24 |
| ficarra1002 | fishcooker: I meant, would this computer run it well. | 00:24 |
| linxeh | avinashhm: cool! | 00:24 |
| linxeh | ubuntu in a box in a box! | 00:25 |
| linxeh | :) | 00:25 |
| krababbel | Jynks: just use the 'other' option and choose the right partition | 00:25 |
| fishcooker | p4 with lubuntu ficarra1002.. will be good | 00:25 |
| avinashhm | if i see ip in virtualbox 10.04, i can see some 10.0.x.x ; but i am not able to ping it from my 12.04 real desktop .. | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Jynks: sure, just delete the ubuntu partitions, then reinstall to the free space | 00:25 |
| avinashhm | any suggestions pls ? | 00:25 |
| Jynks | krababbel: yeah this is what i was going to do.. but dose that re-do the grub installer you think? | 00:25 |
| avinashhm | linxeh, :) | 00:25 |
| krababbel | Jynks: it should | 00:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | avinashhm: virtualbox by default NAT's everything, so the guest can connect outwards, but nothing can connect to the guest | 00:25 |
| fishcooker | use host only network avinashhm | 00:25 |
| ficarra1002 | fish Would it work fine with xubuntu? | 00:25 |
| xemino | hello, somehow apt-get wants to install couch potato, even though i never added a repository for that and it fails now, how can i remove that? | 00:25 |
| Jynks | krababbel: ok thanks mate... | 00:25 |
| rockets | Anybody managed to get KVM working with a bridge in ubuntu 12.04, I need to have my VMs on the local network | 00:25 |
| linxeh | avinashhm: looks like networking setup in the VM isnt quite right. I've got mine all set to bridged, and the VMs get genuine IPs from the DHCP server on the main network (eg router DHCP serveR) | 00:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !details | xemino | 00:26 |
| ubottu | xemino: 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 ..." | 00:26 |
| Jynks | fishcooker: if performence is an issue consider xubuntu.. it is slightly diffrent but designed for lowr spec systems.. great for outdated laptops | 00:26 |
| * avinashhm playing with VM n/w settings | 00:26 | |
| Jynks | thanks guy .. bye | 00:27 |
| xemino | well, i'm under 12.04, but in this case i doubt it matters, here is the output from apt-get http://paste.ubuntu.com/977016/ | 00:27 |
| szal | ficarra1002: to run a recent OS "well" you need, imho, at least 1, if not 2 GB RAM.. XFCE or LXDE (or some other lightweight WM, for that matter) shouldn't give you too much of a headache though.. that old integrated Intel gfx chip might raise issues though | 00:27 |
| xemino | i'd like to combat those errors | 00:27 |
| whoever | hi all, is there a packaging issue with libreoffice? i am using version 3.52 and can not print although i can print from othe aplaications and libre office can recognise my cups printeri I asked in libreoffice, and they think that it may be a distro packaging issue . i am on ubuntu 12.04 when i File>> print(select printer, and click print), i get what i assume to be the authentication window for cups (but don't know for sure since it is | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | xemino: could force install the deb | 00:28 |
| szal | whoever: since it is what? | 00:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !pastebin | whoever | 00:28 |
| ubottu | whoever: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 00:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | whoever: a screenshot would probably make it MUCH easier for us to tell what is going on | 00:29 |
| xemino | well, the thing is, i don't wanna install anything. i don't have the a repo for couch potato, ActionParsnip, i would like to get rid of that install dialogue | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | xemino: could pin the version and it won't be installed | 00:29 |
| xemino | i did install it yet, but via LaSi a script, w/o adding a repo | 00:29 |
| avinashhm | excellent .. change from NAT to Bridged and worked perfectly .. | 00:29 |
| xemino | yes* | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | whoever: does it affect all users (make a new user if needed to test) | 00:30 |
| invinciblemutant | what is the command line to list all users on ubuntu | 00:30 |
| mongo | cat /etc/passwd | 00:30 |
| avinashhm | thanks linxeh , DarwinSurvivor , fishcooker | 00:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | avinashhm: on problem, had the same issue when *I* was using virtualbox :P | 00:30 |
| mongo | unless you are using ad/ldap/nis | 00:30 |
| invinciblemutant | mongo: thanks. | 00:31 |
| avinashhm | DarwinSurvivor, yeah .. i can't believe i wasted half a day with this issue :-) .. thanks very much for helping out | 00:32 |
| lestus | my pleaser :P | 00:32 |
| lestus | pleasure | 00:32 |
| lestus | omg | 00:32 |
| lestus | fail | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | invinciblemutant: cat /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f1 | 00:33 |
| xemino | nvm, i just removed couch potato, for now, spent the whole day setting up sick beard plex and sanzbd, will deal w/ couch potato tomorrow, thanks anyways | 00:33 |
| invinciblemutant | thanks ActionParsnip | 00:34 |
| invinciblemutant | ActionParsnip: I thought there will be a standard command for it | 00:34 |
| invinciblemutant | ActionParsnip: cat command is just amazing | 00:35 |
| xemino | i got another issue, my hfs+ volume is read only under 12.04, even though i cleanly unmounted it under osx, disabled journaling and enabled access for everyone, in the osx permission settings :? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | invinciblemutant: could script it I guess ;) | 00:35 |
| shinichi | can anyone help me here? | 00:36 |
| apn | shinichi: that is possible. | 00:36 |
| invinciblemutant | ActionParsnip: are the username on the list in chronological order? | 00:36 |
| Na_Klar | smw, I had to set the hda model to laptop-eapd in alsa-base.conf. Thanks for the "help" | 00:36 |
| invinciblemutant | ActionParsnip: i have user called statd which is created after my username | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | invinciblemutant: chronological in what way? | 00:37 |
| invinciblemutant | accending order by time users are added | 00:37 |
| mongo | xemino: xfs write has always been iffy | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | invinciblemutant: I guess its added as services etc are aded. I have one named dnsmasq after mine, so makes sense | 00:38 |
| Catbuskris | hullo chaps, I can fix my touchpad by typing some lines into terminal, but I don't want to have to do it every time I turn the laptop on; how can I automate a bash/shell script thingy? thanks in advance | 00:38 |
| xemino | hmm yeah, strange thing is it worked under 11.04, before i fucked up my install by upgrading to 12.04 | 00:38 |
| smw | Na_Klar, thanks, perhaps the will fix my computer ;-) | 00:38 |
| wilee-nilee | ActionParsnip, hey do you have your cool addition on installs I believe to the /etc/sysctl.conf handy. | 00:39 |
| mongo | xemino: check the disk in osx | 00:40 |
| mongo | it may be marked as dirty | 00:40 |
| xemino | oh right | 00:40 |
| xemino | thanks | 00:40 |
| xemino | i did unmount it cleanly, but who knows | 00:40 |
| Whartrough | clear | 00:41 |
| mongo | xemino: you could try hpfxck | 00:41 |
| xemino | damn, why can't i launch nautilus via sudo? | 00:41 |

| Whartrough | hello all :D ^^ | 00:41 |

| DarwinSurvivor | !sudo xemino | 00:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !sudo | xemino | 00:43 |

For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 00:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | xemino: 1) used gksudo 2) use nautilus --no-desktop | 00:43 |

| obelus | I feel pretty stupid. I was modifying permissions on the files in /var/www/ and was intending to modify them on /var/www itself, I changed directory to /var and just hit up twice and enter without thinking, it executed 'sudo chmod -R o-rx *' Is there any easy way to restore the correct permissions? | 00:45 |
| citrusfizz | then i could do something with that | 00:45 |
| xemino | will just do it via vnc, feels dirty but who cares :) | 00:45 |
| CiDhed | Thanks | 00:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DX099: ah. good to know! | 00:45 |
| szal | cute_bettong: make sure to have a Super GRUB2 Disk handy to boot back into *buntu & reinstall the Grub | 00:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | CiDhed: zfs is not yet properly support on linux as far as I know | 00:46 |

| DarwinSurvivor | CiDhed: on linux? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#Linux shows it as being in the porting stage, and even that was only recently. BSD has full support though | 00:49 |
| apn | obelus: nope | 00:49 |

| shinichi | anyone here having issues with ubuntu12.04? | 00:50 |
| obelus | apn: thought so =/ god, I guess I better just back up all my configs and reinstall -.- | 00:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !details | shinichi | 00:51 |
| ubottu | shinichi: 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 ..." | 00:51 |
| ubukou | anyone knows how to create a custom action to cut a file (video or something) Create a folder and then paste it in that folder created? | 00:52 |
| ubukou | it should be quite simple as a command but i havent done it before .. it should use the name of the file chosen and then mkdir that.. | 00:52 |
| ubukou | any tips before i go messing up 100 times before i get somewhere? :) | 00:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: you mean "move a file to a new directory"? | 00:52 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, yes i think we are talking about the same action i think | 00:52 |
| ubukou | has it been done ? | 00:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: so you're not editing the video or anything, just moving a file from one folder to another...? | 00:53 |
| shinichi | erm, i installed ubuntu 12.04 to my external hdd earlier using usb drive, followed some tuts on how to that on the net, so after installing it i restarted my pc and chose to boot from my external where i installed ubuntu and it's just black screen, tried waiting but nothing happened | 00:53 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, yes.. and i need it to go to a directory named after the files i have chosen. | 00:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi: please link us to the instructions you followed | 00:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: how familiar are you with the command line? | 00:54 |
| whoever | DarwinSurvivor: its near imposible to get you a screenshot of what i can bery see, but when i got to File > print select printer and print nothing prints , no error messagee | 00:54 |
| obelus | Is there any command to backup all configuration files for an installed package or do I have to manually find them and copy them? | 00:55 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, i have been using linux for years.. not sure how complicated it can get. | 00:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | whoever: is this a local printer, shared printer, or network printer? | 00:55 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, im sure mkdir and mv should be some commands i need to use. | 00:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: you could probably use a simple bash function to do it. | 00:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !bash | ubukou | 00:56 |
| ubottu | ubukou: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 00:56 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, i was thinking of doing it via the "custom command" under thunar | 00:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: I have no experience with thunar commands | 00:57 |
| mongo | dpkg-query -L packagename will give you a list of it's installed ifles | 00:57 |
| JZApples | Is there a way to change the mouse highlight color in Ubuntu 12.04 besides changing the theme?? | 00:58 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, its not thunar commands its a simple way of adding scripts to thunar right clicks | 00:58 |
| whoever | DarwinSurvivor: it is shared and , this effects all users | 00:59 |
| ring0 | is there a way to monitor the activity of fixing bugs in a certain package on launchpad? like how many bugs have been fixed in given time | 00:59 |
| whoever | DarwinSurvivor: yes other programs can print to the shared printer | 00:59 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, i ll check the ubuntu community and get back to you | 00:59 |
| xtgyal | Hi, is there a way to do Google-style Boolean searches of text files on Ubuntu? The default file search can search in file content but only one keyword at a time, I'd like to be able to cross-search for multiple keywords over a number of text files in a single folder. | 01:00 |
| obelus | mongo: Thanks, I'll try using that to find the files. | 01:01 |
| wylde | ubukou: in a file named whatever you want.sh first line --> mkdir $1 second line --> mv $1 $1 | 01:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | xtgyal: check grep's man page for regex searching | 01:01 |
| xtgyal | regex? | 01:02 |
| obelus | Out of curiosity, would it be bad to apply o+rx to /var/ recursively? | 01:02 |
| szal | xtgyal: regular expression(s) | 01:02 |
| xtgyal | is that I program? | 01:02 |
| szal | obelus: any reason to`? | 01:02 |
| xtgyal | *a program | 01:02 |
| ubukou | wylde, let me check that .. thanks a lot.. seems right. should i do mkdir $1 && mv $1 $1 ? | 01:02 |
| obelus | szal: To avoid having to reinstall. I accidentally did o-rx on it. | 01:03 |
| mongo | xtgyal: find has an --regex arg | 01:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wylde: you can't have a file and a folder and a file with the same name, so line 1 will fail | 01:03 |
| wylde | DarwinSurvivor: so true, my bad | 01:03 |
| xtgyal | I'm not sure what that means | 01:03 |
| xtgyal | is that a program I need to download? | 01:03 |
| ubukou | wylde, DarwinSurvivor you cant ? | 01:04 |
| szal | xtgyal: grep is a basic system tool that should be installed on every *nix system | 01:04 |
| wylde | ubukou: in a file named whatever you want.sh first line --> mkdir ./storage/$1 second line --> mv $1 $1 heh | 01:04 |
| Mrokii | Hello. I've upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 a few days before and wanted to try out unity for the first time today. But I noticed that the entry in the LightDM-menu is gone (the one to choose Unity with all effects). I can choose Unity 2D (without the effects) though. Is there a way to correct that? | 01:04 |
| wylde | lol | 01:04 |
| ubukou | wylde, DarwinSurvivor how about .*? | 01:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | xtgyal: regex allows you to make more advanced searches using patterns: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/73/grep-based-on-multiple-keywords/ | 01:04 |
| szal | xtgyal: in other words, it's already there | 01:04 |
| xtgyal | I tried the default Find, and also tried out Desktop Search, KFind, and Catfish, all are only one keyword at a time | 01:05 |
| xtgyal | oh ok that's in Terminal, is there a way to do that in GUI? | 01:05 |
| AlphaPinky | DarwinSurvivor, thanks using that guide I could make it work. | 01:05 |
| wylde | ubukou: you can prove the concept by trying it, make a folder with name a now try to make a file in the same directory named a. It will error saying a already exists | 01:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AlphaPinky: good to hear | 01:06 |
| nlion | hello, I'm having an issue connecting to a webdav service using the standard Go->Location menu option | 01:06 |
| xtgyal | how do I select the directory I want in Terminal? | 01:06 |
| dontknow | anyone here knows about firewalls? | 01:06 |
| nlion | I can mount it with mount -t davfs | 01:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !bash | xtgyal | 01:06 |
| ubottu | xtgyal: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:06 |
| obelus | ubukou: you could technically do mv $1 ${1}.temp && mkdir $1 && mv ${1}.temp $1/ | 01:07 |
| nlion | it gives me this error: "Error: Not a WebDAV enabled sharePlease select another viewer and try again." | 01:07 |
| linuxfreaker | I need help on Ubuntu 11.04 for UEFI mode | 01:07 |
| xtgyal | gimme a few mins to read this | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | obelus: ubukou: You should quote your variables. Join #bash for good advice on bash scripting. | 01:08 |
| linuxfreaker | I tried installing Ubuntu 11.04 on dell server which do have option of selecting UEFI mode..it showed me GRUB menu and then it is not displaying anything | 01:08 |
| shinichi | hey guys, sorry for the late reply, here's the link http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/02/20/install-ubuntu-11-10-on-external-hard-drive-with-an-ntfs-partition-at-the-end/ | 01:08 |
| obelus | Jordan_U: I know, I'm just rather distracted right now. | 01:08 |
| dontknow | anyone here using firewall default deny outgoing, i have a question | 01:08 |
| shinichi | i followed it except for the last part about the ntfs | 01:08 |
| xtgyal | ok I used cd to get to the directory, what is the grep or regex command to search for multiple keywords? | 01:09 |
| obelus | !ask | dontknow | 01:09 |
| ubottu | dontknow: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 01:09 |

| aJynks | Hi, on a fresh install.. the "additional drivers" for nvidia... what is the difference between (version current [recommended] and (post release u[dates) [version current updates] .. witch of these should I use? | 01:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi: ok, can you please re-state what you are doing and seeing at boot time? | 01:10 |
| ubukou | obelus, Jordan_U i ll have to test and read a lot before i get back to you ( not a linux genius here), thanks a lot for the ideas. you probably saved me a lot of time | 01:10 |
| wylde | aJynks: recommended | 01:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | xtgyal: that's in the link I posted to you | 01:10 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, wylde thanks a lot too :) | 01:10 |
| fishcooker | i've chooese recommended one aJynks | 01:10 |
| smw | I just installed ubuntu 12.04. What happened to autocomplete? Nothing except the very basic autocomplete works | 01:11 |
| aJynks | wylde / fishcooker - ok then.. but what is the other one out of curiosity? | 01:11 |
| xtgyal | oh ok yeah I see it, just a sec then | 01:11 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, wylde Jordan_U obelus i ll get back to you all. | 01:11 |
| fishcooker | go for it :p | 01:11 |
| shinichi | completely black, nothing happens, but when i try booting win7 it does boot up, i installed it to my external hdd so as not to mess up my main drive... | 01:11 |
| shinichi | i mean win7 boots up., | 01:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi: do you get the grub prompt? | 01:11 |
| shinichi | after booting the external? no, it's just black screen, could it be a problem with grub? | 01:12 |
| fishcooker | when i used current one before login.. there would be a splash of nvidia at glance aJynks | 01:12 |
| xtgyal | ok, that doesn't seem to work, the examples look like that's to search within a single file, I'm trying to search multiple keywords over multiple files in a single directory with subfolders | 01:12 |
| === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance | ||
| wylde | xtgyal: I believe there's a gedit addon for that... I use it to find needed correction strings in all the files of the Ubuntu help documentation. | 01:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi: ok, so you used the BIOS's "select harddrive" menu? | 01:14 |
| shinichi | yes | 01:14 |
| dontknow | is there a way to see actual online person number with xchat? | 01:14 |
| smw | Weird... when I copied /etc/skel/.* ~ --- my autocomplete started working again | 01:14 |
| shinichi | also tried changing the boot priority but the same thing happens | 01:14 |

| xtgyal | it's a collection of hundreds of stories, I'm trying to find a way to search through them using keywords, surely there is a simple program somewhere that can do Google-style searches of a large number of text files? | 01:15 |
| EWB | plus while it's installing a window titled "debconf" pops up and goes away repeatedly | 01:16 |
| mikere | xtgyal: cat piped to grep (but you'd have to read the man pages) | 01:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi: so the screen is black and the computer is still running. does the caps-lock key toggle the caps-lock light? | 01:16 |
| xtgyal | what is cat piped and man? | 01:16 |
| hit | gracias | 01:16 |
| aJynks | Guys I have a ubuntu install and a large drive for "data" I run a duel boot so the large data drive is NTFS so windows can see it. In ubuntu the drive is working fine... "but" Is it possible to move my home dir t oa folder on this data drive... ? | 01:16 |
| mikere | xtgyal: cat will print the contents of the file to the console | 01:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | mikere: why would you grep cat to grep? grep can open the files on its own! | 01:16 |
| NotJimCarrey | trying to upgrade ubuntu but i'm getting "Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules, probably a dependency cycle." any ideas on how to fix it? | 01:16 |

| mikere | DarwinSurvivor: well, you learn something new every day | 01:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | mikere: why would you pipe cat to grep? grep can open the files on its own! | 01:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | there we go! | 01:17 |
| resting | can someone explain to me what this statement is trying to do? /etc/apf/apf -f >> /dev/null 2>&1 | 01:17 |
| xtgyal | I'm not sure what that means either, I'm not an expert unfortunately :-( | 01:17 |
| resting | its stopping the apf firewall and then? | 01:17 |
| shinichi | yes, and no i don't see it toggling caps lock coz i'm using a netbook, does it have to do something with that? | 01:18 |
| gh0strider | hello everyone, does anyone know here if there is an adobel flash player for linux using the arm processor, specifically for people who have installed linux on their android phones? | 01:18 |
| gh0strider | *adobe | 01:18 |
| xtgyal | I'll post it to Ubuntu Forums see what they come up with I guess | 01:18 |
| mikere | DarwinSurvivor: so can you explain to xtgyal how to use it? | 01:18 |
| xtgyal | I tried the grep, but that looks like searching within a single file only | 01:18 |
| mjrsnyder | Are there any legit Java repos for 12.04? | 01:19 |
| szal | gh0strider: Flash for mobile is dead, and Flash for Linux will be in the foreseeable future | 01:19 |
| xtgyal | what is the regex thing mentioned earlier? | 01:19 |
| wylde | xtgyal: for an exapmle of piping. Let's say I wanted to send the output of cat /var/log/dmesg to pastebinit to show someone on here to get help. I would pipe 'cat /var/log/dmesg | pastebinit' <--- pipes(or sends the output of) to pastebinit | 01:19 |
| mikere | xtgyal: try cat * | grep "your search phrase" or something like that | 01:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | xtgyal: you can search as many files as you want "grep patter file1 file2 file3 abunchoffiles*" | 01:19 |
| shinichi | i mean there's no indicator whether i toggle caps lock in my netbook so i don't really know | 01:19 |
| gh0strider | szal: that may be true down the road in the future, but for now adobe flash is needed.. | 01:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | mikere: grep "your search phrase" * | 01:20 |
| xtgyal | ohhhh | 01:20 |
| xtgyal | ok | 01:20 |
| xtgyal | lemme try the star | 01:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi: are there any keys that control lights (num-lock, scroll-lock, etc)? | 01:20 |
| mikere | xtgyal: the * means all files in the directory. | 01:20 |
| xtgyal | yes, give me a min, I have to restart Terminal | 01:20 |
| nagetier | Hi, i debootstraped 12.04 but the generated root account is in no group.. is this correct, did i have to change it putting root in some other groups? I am asking because i can't using nvidia-settings where a normal user can do. I became the error message "The control display is undefined" if i execute nvidia-settings as root. (sorry my broken language) | 01:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | xtgyal: if you want to search in subfolders, use "grep -R" for recursive | 01:20 |
| szal | gh0strider: Adobe ditched Flash for mobile a year or so ago, and Flash for Linux is EOL since February or so (still getting security fixes though) | 01:21 |
| xtgyal | yes there are subfolders, thanks | 01:21 |
| mikere | DarwinSurvivor: cool, now all I have to remember is to leave cat out of it in the future (it's almost programmed into my fingers by now) | 01:21 |

| mjrsnyder | is there a legit java repo for 12.04? | 01:29 |
| === root is now known as Guest8216 | ||
| wylde | ubukou: possibly, the $1 we were using is for passing a variable to a bash script. | 01:29 |

| DarwinSurvivor | !java | mjrsnyder | 01:29 |
| ubottu | mjrsnyder: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 01:29 |

| mikere | Is it possible that having scsi hdd's in raid could cause the 12.04 installer to stop seeing the cdrom drive part way through? | 01:31 |

| shiman6 | 12.04 doesnt really support Gnome natively | 01:33 |
| shiman6 | You have to fedangle it a bit | 01:34 |
| uberbdon | so what would i need to do to change the color scheme etc | 01:34 |
| xangua | shiman6: 12.04 comes with gnome 3.4 | 01:34 |
| shiman6 | I thought they ditched gnome destop? | 01:34 |
| shinichi_ | DarwinSurvivor: already tried it but i still get the black screen. could following the instructions here work (on the win7 part)? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot | 01:34 |
| shiman6 | *desktop | 01:34 |
| Ademan | Well that was pathetic... It took me a solid 15 minutes to manage to join an IRC channel in empathy on 12.04... | 01:34 |
| xangua | shiman6: unity is just a shell for gnome | 01:34 |
| aJynks | what dose it mean when an app has 2 versions GTK or QT? Dose it matter witch I should use? | 01:34 |
| steven_ | aJynks: Generally, if you're running Gnome, you would use the GTK version, and if you're running KDE you would use the Qt version. But in practice you can probably use either. What program are you looking at? | 01:35 |
| shiman6 | Ooh. I understand now | 01:35 |
| aJynks | steven_, ok thanks | 01:35 |
| uberbdon | so xangua, should i use GTK 3.0 themes? | 01:35 |
| uberbdon | im just not sure what to browse and download on gnomelook | 01:35 |
| xangua | uberbdon: you can use 'myunity' to change gtk/icon themes, fonts, etc | 01:35 |
| KingKatari | Hey what is the format for adding something to the cron like a set of command to be run X min after the server is started | 01:35 |
| uberbdon | hmm | 01:35 |
| xangua | !info myunity | uberbdon | 01:35 |
| ubottu | uberbdon: myunity (source: myunity): Unity configurator. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.3-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 529 kB, installed size 1125 kB | 01:35 |
| uberbdon | i can get that in the ubuntu software center im guessing | 01:36 |
| xangua | uberbdon: you download gtk3 themes, but not everyone has unity compatibility | 01:36 |
| mikere | Does anyone know why 12.04 server install would fail to find kernel modules right after succesfully starting up from cd install, setting language and locale succesfully and then just not be able to continue (cd is verified good on several other machines). | 01:36 |
| uberbdon | thanks for the help, xangua | 01:37 |
| shiman6 | how do I find out the default video format for a webcam? It wont say on the box | 01:38 |
| shiman6 | and i'm using 12.04 | 01:38 |
| shinichi_ | is darwin still online? | 01:38 |
| shinichi_ | NAMES | 01:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: yes, sorry, had to deal with something in RL :( | 01:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: so you've established that the external hdd will not work on other machines either? | 01:39 |
| reinholder | hi...is anyone around? | 01:40 |
| shiman6 | lots | 01:40 |
| PeTiTa_MoNgEtA | hello | 01:40 |
| hit_ | hi | 01:40 |
| reinholder | cool - I'm having a bit of a headache...I've just istalled linux for the first time in five years, chosen to install ubuntu, and it's...er...different | 01:40 |
| shiman6 | unity takes a bit to get used to haha | 01:41 |
| shinichi_ | oh, i see, i thought you went offline xD. well, i partitioned my external earlier because i had important files there, so the partitioned part with my file works but when trying to boot it for ubuntu doesn't do a thing except show me a black screen | 01:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: do you have any other linux machines? | 01:42 |
| PeTiTa_MoNgEtA | from barcelona good nigth for all | 01:42 |
| reinholder | I'm trying to install a theme, but I can't remember how the devil I access usr/themes and install the damned thing....It's asking for permissions, and properties says I can't because I'm not the owner | 01:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | reinholder: use the themes folder in your own home folder, not the system one | 01:42 |
| NotJimCarrey | trying to upgrade ubuntu but i'm getting "Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules, probably a dependency cycle." any ideas on how to fix it? | 01:42 |
| aJynks | DarwinSurvivor, Is the "mount" point the cd\etc etc path or the /dev/ssbc1 type thing? | 01:42 |
| shinichi_ | no i don't have any other linux machines..,this would be the first in my system | 01:42 |
| reinholder | @darwinsurvivor I don't...see one. | 01:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: can you boot off the live-usb drive you were using and chose "check disk for defects". if that passes, boot into the live-usb desktop. | 01:43 |
| JZApples | Would something like this work in 12.04 to change the orange highlight color? https://antecblue.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/replace-the-orange-color-in-ubuntu-11-10-active-color/ | 01:43 |
| PeTiTa_MoNgEtA | bye | 01:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !theme | reinholder | 01:44 |
| ubottu | reinholder: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 01:44 |
| shinichi_ | well, i'm using the live usb drive now..,and if i restart i'm gonna have to download xchat again..so i'm asking questions now before i do anything else | 01:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aJynks: /dev/... is the physical device, /something_else is where the contents can be accessed (you want the second) | 01:45 |
| reinholder | yep. I have the aesthetic look, downloaded it - installing it is the issue | 01:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: ok, stay where you are then | 01:45 |
| shinichi_ | ok | 01:45 |
| aJynks | DarwinSurvivor, thanks again | 01:45 |
| xangua | reinholder: Control+H on nautilus to see hidden directories , search for .themes for gtk themes and .icons for icons | 01:45 |
| doomrobo | Hi, I noticed that after upgrading to precise, I have been experiencing "overscrolling" issues with both my browser and vim, odd correlation, I know. Anyway, what has been happening is that if I hold a key like 'j' for example in Vim, it moves and when I let go, it goes down one more line just one second after I let go | 01:46 |
| reinholder | oh my...that was awesome. o0 | 01:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: can you open the external drive in gparted and post a screenshot of it? | 01:46 |
| doomrobo | Almost the same thing happening in Firefox except with mouse scrolling | 01:46 |
| shiman6 | Is there a way through the command line to view the default format of a usb camera? | 01:46 |
| shinichi_ | ok, wait a moment, i'll try | 01:46 |
| * nagetier ok, it's solved: i forget using kdesudo opening nvidia-settings.. now it looks good | 01:46 | |
| DarwinSurvivor | doomrobo: is this a mouse with a wheel or a touchpad with a scroll area? | 01:47 |
| doomrobo | DarwinSurvivor, mousewheel | 01:47 |
| doomrobo | odd | 01:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | doomrobo: oh, nvm, you said you were using j :( | 01:47 |
| linuxfreaker | I am unable to install Ubuntu 11 .04 through UEFI mode | 01:47 |
| paranoidphreak | hi everybody, i've mounted a network drive with the following command: "mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/8Gig /media/Network/N8Gig" but only root has full access; rwx. how do i give everyone on the machine 777 access? | 01:47 |
| doomrobo | DarwinSurvivor, well this happens with both mouse wheel and j | 01:47 |
| ShagInc | high | 01:47 |
| doomrobo | DarwinSurvivor, but does not happen in gVim | 01:47 |
| felipe_Brz | when I try and create an alias for a command like this 'ssh -i ~/.ssh/mykey.pem myuser@myhost.com' it doesn't work, althoutg the command itself ran with no alias works... how can this be?? | 01:47 |
| doomrobo | only vim in a terminal emulator | 01:47 |
| doomrobo | ShagInc, hai | 01:48 |
| ShagInc | is there any way get full functionality with msn on empathy? | 01:48 |
| ShagInc | webcam, sendfile, etc. | 01:49 |
| aJynks | I am trying to do this... - http://askubuntu.com/questions/123474/how-do-i-use-a-ntfs-drive-as-location-for-music-videos-etc : but I havn't run the ln -s command yet.. shouldn't I need to add the source directory in that ln -s command? Somthing like ln -s ~/Pictures /media/Data/Pictures ? | 01:49 |
| hit_ | hi everyone,how to get IRC command keys from a TCP packet? | 01:50 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: if you "man ln" without the quotes it gives you the syntax | 01:51 |
| doomrobo | hit_, what?! | 01:51 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: "ln [OPTION]... TARGET" is the second form | 01:51 |
| shinichi_ | DarwinSurvivor: should i send the file to you? | 01:52 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: the first parameter is the TARGET for the symlink, if you don't supply a LINK_NAME it will place it in the current directory with the same name as the TARGET, in my experience | 01:53 |
| aJynks | Cyberspaceloa, ok.. i kinda read that with ln --help.. but I am not 100% understanding it... yeah but "what" is it linking? The root of the directoy you are currently in? | 01:53 |
| user1 | Hi Guys... | 01:53 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: ah, sorry. let me scroll through your link | 01:54 |
| user1 | we need install bugzilla on ubuntu 10.04 for office purpose. we know how to do if we have mysql. But we need on postgresql | 01:55 |
| user1 | pls let me know | 01:55 |
| Riplok | I have a question about playing movies in a DVD player using ubuntu 12.04LTS. I keep getting a message say i cant play it because it is encrypted, i have tried several application to decrypte the DVD and libdvdcss download but nothing is working. Anyone know of an application i can use to watch a DVD or rip them to my hard drive? | 01:55 |
| aJynks | Cyberspaceloa, I am trying to make "links" so that going into the dirs in my home directory take me to a larger different hdrive.. like.. ~/pictures .. I have a dir on a diffrent drive called pictures I want to link them so cd ~/pictures is in fact cd /media/Data/Pictures (sorry i ama noob am I making sense?) | 01:55 |
| Riplok | @ajynks dont worry im a noob as well lol | 01:56 |
| uberbdon | hmm | 01:56 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: yes you're making sense | 01:56 |
| uberbdon | i installed myunity, changed the icons and now a couple of the icons in the launcher are gone | 01:56 |
| sarsaeol | can anyone suggest a secure way to pass an ssh password to sshfs if i mount the remote server in rc.local | 01:56 |
| xangua | !dvd | Riplok did you run the installer and restarted as the guide says¿ | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Riplok did you run the installer and restarted as the guide says¿: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

| kantlivelong | anyone here have cinnamon on 12.04? | 01:57 |
| sarsaeol | im using http://pastebin.com/gyTQnmuc | 01:57 |
| sarsaeol | which is pretty insecure | 01:57 |
| shinichi_ | DarwinSurvivor: saw it yet? | 01:57 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: the only reference to symlinks I'm seeing on your link is "ln -s /path/to/drive2/mount-point/Videos", is that to what you are referring? | 01:57 |
| xangua | kantlivelong: cinnamon is not supported here | 01:57 |
| Riplok | Cool thank you xangua and ubottu :) | 01:57 |
| smw | xangua, why not? | 01:57 |
| smw | xangua, nm, not in the repos :-\ | 01:58 |
| === sarsaeol is now known as SaRSAeOL | ||
| kantlivelong | xangua: just asking if anyone has it.. not asking for help | 01:58 |
| aJynks | well yea that was the page I read.. but I do not understand the command.. as ther is no source specified? I want a link only for pictures and latter music to go to this other drive | 01:58 |
| === SaRSAeOL is now known as sarsaeol | ||
| reinholder | ok...so how do you find terminal in 12.04? | 01:58 |
| xangua | reinholder: control+alt+t | 01:58 |
| reinholder | you star | 01:59 |
| reinholder | thanks :) | 01:59 |
| OerHeks | kantlivelong, no haven't. | 01:59 |
| KingKatari | Hey what is the format for adding something to the cron like a set of command to be run X min after the server is started | 01:59 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: the first argument to ln is always the TARGET. With no LINK_NAME argument it will place the link in your current working directory | 01:59 |
| xangua | reinholder: you can keep the super/windows key pressed to show you a useful guide of key combinations | 02:00 |
| reinholder | oh thank christ for that I never thought I'd see the day when I'd beg for my beloved command line | 02:00 |
| aJynks | What dose it call the link? | 02:00 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: so if you run that command in your home directory, the created link will reside in your home directory | 02:00 |
| paranoidphreak | hi everybody, i've mounted a network drive with the following command: "mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/8Gig /media/Network/N8Gig" but only root has full access; rwx. how do i give everyone on the machine 777 access? | 02:00 |
| hit_ | I am sory,i am a new to IRC | 02:00 |
| reinholder | That's handy to know xangua, thank you | 02:00 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: it will be the exact same as the TARGET identifier | 02:00 |
| sarsaeol | can anyone suggest a secure way to pass an ssh password to sshfs if i mount the remote server in rc.local | 02:01 |
| sarsaeol | im using http://pastebin.com/gyTQnmuc | 02:01 |
| user1 | hi, pls help me guys... | 02:01 |
| aJynks | Cyberspaceloa, ok, and so this command... ln -s /media/Data/Pictures will make a link called Pictures in the directory I am currently in.. what if there is a directory wit hthat name in there already? | 02:01 |
| Riplok | Thank you ubottu that article did the trick and i showed me what i was missing :) | 02:01 |
| === dfsdfsdfsd is now known as Dios| | ||
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: that I'm not sure of offhand. I think the link will just fail, but you might want to read the manpage for it | 02:03 |
| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: if you're a bit nervous about running the command, you can create some test files and directories to get a feel for it | 02:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: sorry, someone came to the door :( | 02:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !pastebin | shinichi_ | 02:04 |

| Cyberspaceloa | aJynks: I often do that if I feel a bit hazy about the details of something | 02:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: use the imagebin one | 02:04 |
| aJynks | Cyberspaceloa, yeah ok.. that is a idea! I'll do that brb | 02:04 |
| shinichi_ | what image bin? | 02:04 |

| Tecan | it was in the 12.04 beta | 02:07 |
| aJynks | Cyberspaceloa, yeah it errors - ln: failed to create symbolic link `./test': File exists - I guess I can just del the existing test dir and it worked.. so I supose I just rename the pictures dir, do the link then move all the contents into the new dir or somthing like that... thanks for the help | 02:08 |

| DarwinSurvivor | !ask | maum | 02:13 |

| bsmith0931 | wormmd: perl: cannot set locale | 02:25 |
| shinichi_ | the folder is fstab.d and nothing's on it | 02:25 |
| resting | where is the log files for postfix? | 02:25 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: when does it occur? | 02:25 |
| mardraum | resting: /var/log/mail.log | 02:26 |
| maum | OccupyDemonoid: thanks you solved my problem | 02:26 |
| aJynks | Hey guys. almost got this all working.. one problem.. . My "data" drive is in "devices" and I click on it and it mounts.. how can I get that to always auto mount on boot? | 02:26 |
| resting | mardraum: thanks !! | 02:26 |
| Nach0z | aJynks: fstab | 02:26 |
| bsmith0931 | wormmd: when ever i use bash autocomplete or try to install anything the error comes up and it keeps going on, ldconfig deferred processing now taking place | 02:26 |

| cowboy | HELP....any UBUNTU SERVER FORUM..help me here?? | 02:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: oh, ok, it's using the new fstab setup then | 02:27 |
| bsmith0931 | wormmd: sorry about that, check those lines though | 02:27 |
| gunouille | ubuntu server is not ubuntu, someone will say | 02:27 |
| shinichi_ | so there's really nothing on that folder? | 02:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: possibly not. Unfortunately I've basically reached the end of my knowledge here since it appears to be a grub issue and I am not familiar with the new grub2 that ubuntu is using (if it was grub1 I could do more). | 02:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | if anyone else here is familiar with grub2 and/or external hdd booting, shinichi_ could use a hand. | 02:29 |
| ClientAlive | when I try to use vit-manager to create a new vm I get: "Error: no active connection to install on" | 02:29 |
| ClientAlive | does anyone know what this is about? | 02:29 |
| solofight | people as suggested yesterday here - i have downloaded and wrote the iso to usb disc - now when i try to boot from it the system stays on the ubuntu bg screen with the dots changing colors indiacting status for several hours ! | 02:29 |
| solofight | is this normal for verssion 12 ? if not please help to resolve | 02:29 |
| ClientAlive | how to fix? | 02:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: then only thing I could recommend at this point is reinstalling and using ubuntu's official install docs | 02:29 |
| shinichi_ | i see..well, thanks for trying to help me..gonna be off for now, goig somewhere,,ok i'll try reinstalling again later when i get back | 02:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !install | shinichi_ | 02:30 |
| ubottu | shinichi_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 02:30 |
| wolter | is anybody else having problems with lord of ultima in their software center? | 02:30 |
| shinichi_ | thanks again man, gonna be back again if there's still problems xD | 02:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: external hdd's are not very different, so the official install docs should do it for you. | 02:31 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: try "locale -a" to see if that locale is installed, and if so, run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" | 02:31 |
| shinichi_ | ok | 02:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | shinichi_: ok | 02:31 |
| bsmith0931 | wormmd: whats the exact command, im useless with cmd stuff | 02:31 |
| dpb_ | cowboy: what is your question? | 02:33 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: locale -a | grep en_US | 02:33 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: should see one or more lines print after that | 02:33 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: if you do, then run this: | 02:34 |
| bsmith0931 | ben@ben-laptop:~$ locale -a | grep en_US locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory en_US.utf8 | 02:34 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: dpkg-reconfigure locales | 02:34 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: hmm... | 02:34 |
| cowboy | this operation is a challenge here.. | 02:35 |
| bsmith0931 | en_ZM.UTF-8... cannot open locale definition file `en_ZM': No such file or directory failed en_ZW.UTF-8... up-to-date Generation complete. ben@ben-laptop:~$ | 02:35 |
| cowboy | everyone seems to have questions .. | 02:35 |
| vindav | solofight: hi there...I've had that symptom happen to me. I just restarted the process up again to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Does that help you ? | 02:35 |
| cowboy | what is going here? | 02:35 |
| bsmith0931 | cowboy: what do u mean? | 02:35 |
| dpb_ | cowboy: it's an irc channel, general help with ubuntu. :) | 02:35 |
| dpb_ | cowboy: if you have a question, best just to ask it. | 02:36 |
| Cyberspaceloa | cowboy: throw your question out and if anyone has the knowledge you'll get an answer | 02:36 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: Is that last the output of the dpkg-reconfigure locales command? You're likely going to have to install the locale you're missing. | 02:36 |
| bynw | somehow i lost my sudo access. in terminal i get message that i'm not in the sudoers file and in the gui it rejects my administrative password. and i'm the only one that uses my computer of course. so two part question how does it happen and how do i get it working | 02:36 |
| cowboy | I need help how to configure all my server sides adapting with my webpage | 02:36 |
| bsmith0931 | yes and how?, respectively | 02:36 |
| solofight | vindav: restarted the process up again ? you mean restarted and booted again ? or restarted with writing the iso to usb ? | 02:36 |
| Tecan | anyone here use chromium? | 02:37 |
| vindav | solofight: No, just restart and boot again to the boot priority item where it'll have the Ubuntu image that you want to upload. BTW, did you do a md5sum on the iso file matching it up with the hash number to verify it's authenticity and completeness ? | 02:38 |
| REK_007 | Tecan: I use chromium | 02:38 |
| solofight | vindav: nope - didnt do that | 02:38 |
| solofight | vindav: bvut the restart i did | 02:38 |
| QuantumEgg | Upon booting ubuntu from a livecd, with a faulty hard drive in the system but not being booted into, udevd returns me errors. | 02:38 |
| === ross is now known as Guest12725 | ||
| solofight | will check the md5 sum now | 02:38 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: run this: "cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local" and tell me if en_US.UTF-8 is listed. | 02:39 |
| QuantumEgg | Is is possible to boot into a livecd without having it interact with the hard drive? | 02:39 |
| vindav | solofight: How did the restart perform ? | 02:39 |
| QuantumEgg | Or better yet, what's the lightest possible linux distro? | 02:39 |
| QuantumEgg | that i can run gparted from? | 02:39 |
| bsmith0931 | wormmd: en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 | 02:39 |
| Tecan | REK_007: can you move around the tabs positions? | 02:39 |
| vindav | solofight: I'll be here when you come back. | 02:40 |
| REK_007 | Tecan: yeah pretty much | 02:40 |
| solofight | vindav: thank you | 02:40 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: that looks fine, and it's weird that dpkg-reconfigure locales didn't fix it... | 02:40 |
| solofight | vindav: the restart perfomr the same way | 02:40 |
| bsmith0931 | could it be UFT vs utf a case difference? | 02:40 |
| k1lumin4t1 | hey guys | 02:40 |
| vindav | solofight: Sorry, you are there...oops. Did the md5sum command return a number that matches up with the hash number for the Ubuntu distro you want to install ? | 02:41 |
| k1lumin4t1 | I hace this problem with my desktop folder | 02:41 |
| k1lumin4t1 | it's showing my home folder | 02:41 |
| Tecan | REK_007: they dont turn into a window in itself? because i cant move any tabs without them coming out into there own window and they wont reatach | 02:41 |
| bsmith0931 | err i meant utf vs UTF | 02:41 |
| k1lumin4t1 | instead of showing empty | 02:41 |
| lurraca | Hi | 02:41 |
| REK_007 | Tecan: not no such problems here .... | 02:41 |
| lurraca | Anyone with experience about 256 colors terminals? | 02:41 |
| REK_007 | nope* | 02:41 |
| Tecan | damn i dont get why ubuntu gives me so many problems | 02:42 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: doubtful. | 02:42 |
| vindav | solofight: If the md5sum number returned is not matchable to any of the registered hash numbers for the Ubuntu distro, the load won't go good. May I ask in more detail how the restart performed please ? | 02:42 |
| Tecan | REK_007: does move a window to a side make it resize to half the screen for multitasking? | 02:42 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: do me a favor and paste the entire output of dpkg-reconfigure locales to a pastebin. | 02:42 |
| solofight | vindav: when i choose to install or boot from live - it gave be series of errors first - with code 103 something with respect to sda | 02:43 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: also, if you're a little weak with cli, I suggest you make healthy use of the man command ;) | 02:43 |
| solofight | and then it gave me the ubuntu bg with running dots for hours | 02:43 |
| lurraca | I'm looking to set my terminal to 256 colors, anyone can help me with it? | 02:43 |
| Tecan | REK_007: does clicking the mouse scroll button in chromium do anything? | 02:44 |
| ClientAlive | is anyone familiar with virt-manager? | 02:45 |
| REK_007 | Tecan: yeah it closes the tab if the pointer is on the tab / else opens the highlighted link in a new tab | 02:46 |
| wormmd | Tecan: middle-clicking is one of my favorite features. | 02:46 |
| Tecan | REK_007: can you scroll down by clicking it and moving the mouse down? | 02:46 |
| vindav | solofight: Even by that comment, I read that the image wasn't correctly done, and not a fault of yours personally. It just the machine. You may want to do a md5sum check first to verify that the iso image downloaded prior to burning to CD or DVD (depending on the size of it) to conserve on the amount of discs you may be using, or better yet, use a USB stick. Can you do this for the media you want to use to perform an accurate install ? | 02:46 |
| REK_007 | Tecan: yes | 02:46 |
| Tecan | damn, thats another bug i have | 02:47 |
| solofight | vindav: I am using an USB stick only - i am trying a usb boot | 02:47 |
| solofight | will check the sum now | 02:47 |
| vindav | solofight: Did you do a md5sum check first before the iso image was loaded on the USB card / stick ? | 02:48 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: still with us? :) | 02:48 |
| REK_007 | Tecan: try reinstalling .. remove all config before you do so .. hope that helps | 02:48 |
| windbuntu | is running ubuntu from a flash drive similar in speed to running it on a ssd? | 02:48 |
| dpb_ | cowboy: you probably need to specify more details. :) | 02:48 |
| bsmith0931 | yes hold on | 02:48 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: np | 02:48 |
| vindav | solofight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 02:49 |
| wormmd | windbuntu: doubtful, since the bus from processor to hard drive is likely a lot faster than the bus from processor to peripheral. | 02:49 |
| wormmd | windbuntu: I don't have any research to back up my claim, but it sounds legit. | 02:49 |
| JZApples | Would something like this work in 12.04 to change the orange highlight color? https://antecblue.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/replace-the-orange-color-in-ubuntu-11-10-active-color/ | 02:50 |
| bsmith0931 | wormmd: http://pastebin.com/XqB44PgL | 02:50 |
| windbuntu | i wonder then if it even fast at all | 02:50 |
| vindav | solofight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 02:50 |
| lestus_ | windbuntu, wormd is correct, the bandwidth doesn't even compare, couple that with hdd's ability to buffer, usb will always be slower, also it's not random memory write, it has to write bits serially on the chip of usb stick and then read them serially, so access times are longer just from that | 02:51 |
| wormmd | windbuntu: if it's a small distro and you have a decent amount of RAM, look into loading the entire distro into ram. | 02:51 |
| solofight | vindav: yes it matches d791352694374f1c478779f7f4447a3f ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso | 02:51 |
| resting | how do i configure postfix to sent mails to any domains? | 02:51 |
| vindav | solofight: I just have 30seconds before I lift off. Ok good. Did you see the hyperlink I gave you on using md5sum properly to even check the USB drive ? | 02:52 |
| windbuntu | hmm well i have tons of ram, just wondered as i see some of the larger flash drives coming down in price | 02:52 |
| vindav | solofight: and the link on hashes I gave ? | 02:52 |
| === \Derek\ is now known as [Derek] | ||
| solofight | vinda yes i did a chechsum on my download and checked it with the link of hashes you gave | 02:53 |
| wormmd | windbuntu: how often are you running the distro off of the drive? | 02:53 |
| solofight | vindav: ^^ | 02:53 |
| lestus_ | windbuntu, you as a user will never notice the difference in performance, i run full install of xubuntu from 16Gb flashdrive | 02:53 |
| Optichip | Can someone explain where the panel settings are saved for users? I need to be able to setup default icons for users that login to the machine? Anyone here that can help with this? | 02:53 |
| windbuntu | i usually run ubuntu everyday | 02:53 |
| vindav | solofight: now it should work. Pardon me...but what does: ^^ mean ? | 02:53 |
| wormmd | windbuntu: off of the flash drive? You should dual boot. | 02:54 |
| trism | Optichip: icons in the launcher? | 02:54 |
| solofight | vindav: earlier i didnt type your name properly so later i did and said the message is above with ^^ | 02:54 |
| Optichip | trism :> yes | 02:54 |
| windbuntu | well my desktops is dedicated totally to ubunu and 2 of my lapptops are dual booters | 02:54 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: haven't forgotten about you, sorry :) | 02:54 |
| lestus_ | windbuntu, the only problem with that is that the flash drive's chip will eventually reach it's limit or read/write cycles and pretty much corrupt your data or die, so it's unreliable long term | 02:54 |
| astrophil | im having an issue watching videos. i upgraded to the newest version last night and when i go to youtube where the video is supposed to be is just black | 02:55 |
| windbuntu | ahhh ok lestus_ not good then | 02:55 |
| wormmd | windbuntu: so why are you running Ubuntu off a flash drive? Also, what lestus said. | 02:55 |
| trism | Optichip: use a gsettings vendor override for com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites | 02:55 |
| vindav | solofight: ok, you're good to go. Gotta go...hopefully we get to chat again. :D | 02:55 |
| windbuntu | i never ran it off a flash just been reading about it hearing people talk about it | 02:55 |
| trism | Optichip: http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/gsettings-override-2011-07-04-15-45 | 02:55 |
| ericP | i just did a fresh install of 12.04 on an intel box. how do i find out whether the installer decided on amd64? | 02:55 |
| sparc_ | Hey hey. Is reprepro still the way to manage your own apt-repositories? I was wondering if PPAs are based on that. | 02:56 |
| ericP | also, is there a ppa which would give me a newer libboost than 1.46? (i need >= 1.48) | 02:56 |
| windbuntu | i just became curious about the speed of it run that way | 02:56 |
| REK_007 | ericP: unam -a | 02:56 |
| REK_007 | ericP: uname -a | 02:56 |
| lestus_ | windbuntu, your best option here, is get an empty external hard drive enclosure - 2.5" and get the SSD drive, if you are looking for performance in an external drive, problem is, to utilize just half it's writing capability you will need to use usb 3.0, and not many motherboard BIOSes support booting from usb 3 yet | 02:57 |
| ericP | REK_007, is a "x86_64" kernel amd64? | 02:57 |
| REK_007 | ericP: it shows x86_64 for amd64 ..else otherwise | 02:57 |
| ericP | voila -- tx | 02:57 |
| windbuntu | hmm g ood point i do not have 3.0 | 02:57 |
| REK_007 | yeah ericP | 02:57 |
| windbuntu | even my gaiming macjine i7 is 2.0 i think | 02:57 |
| ubukou | mv %f /tmp/cutfiles; cd %d; mkdir folder; mv /tmp/cutfiles/%n; /home/kou/folder | 02:58 |
| ubukou | is there a really bad syntax in this ? | 02:58 |
| Optichip | trism :> Thanks, can I export the currect settings from one setup desktop and use them? Or do I have to hand create all the links to icons? | 02:58 |
| ubukou | mkdir works so the mv should work ... (?) | 02:58 |
| astrophil | any ideas guys? | 02:58 |
| ShadowFios | hi | 02:58 |
| ubukou | ohhhhhhhhh | 02:59 |
| XStreamX | Okay I am trying to use the Cinnamon desktop when loggin into Ubuntu server 12.04 via vnc but I keep getting the gnome-classic desktop. I have tried to modify the .vnc/xstartup file without any success. Any ideas? | 02:59 |
| hephaistos | Xinerama is breaking Unity in 12.04, is there a solution? | 02:59 |
| ShadowFios | how do i find wheter i have an HDD or an SDD | 02:59 |
| ClientAlive | 1649 ppl here and not one person has ever used virt manager? Not one has ever used kvm? | 02:59 |
| hephaistos | ClientAlive, this support channel actually sucks pretty bad | 03:00 |
| astrophil | im just trying to figure out how to fix videos | 03:00 |
| wormmd | ShadowFios: do you know the make and model of the drive? | 03:00 |
| hephaistos | Not a single person here could even help me with triple monitor issues | 03:00 |
| ubukou | ClientAlive, hephaistos are you serious?? | 03:00 |
| wormmd | ShadowFios: or the make and model of the computer, if it's a Dell or some such? | 03:00 |
| kcj | Where are my screenshots going? I press the print screen button and it makes the camera noise and what not but I don't get the normal screenshot dialog. I'm on 12.04. | 03:01 |

| ubukou | ClientAlive, hephaistos you have not seen unfriendly channels, be patient. | 03:01 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: can you paste me the output of the command "locale"? | 03:02 |
| ClientAlive | well if sucks = several days trying and not making any forward progress, not even being talked to after hours being one here, then yeah! | 03:02 |
| hephaistos | Right, or no-one even familiar with dual or triple monitors... | 03:02 |
| ClientAlive | I can't use my brand new $1800 computer - how patient? (I built it over two mos ago now) | 03:02 |
| ubukou | ClientAlive, vs the alternative of.... ??? | 03:02 |
| totesmuh1oats | if i update ubuntu, what will happen to things like init scripts that i made myself? | 03:03 |
| ubukou | hephaistos, maybe they are but they are busy. i have dual monitors. | 03:03 |
| totesmuh1oats | i mean, 10.10 - 12.04 | 03:03 |
| bsmith0931 | wormmd: http://pastebin.com/SeC7VJvW | 03:03 |
| wormmd | ClientAlive: you built an $1800 computer and you can't figure out kvm? | 03:03 |
| trism | Optichip: yes, it would probably be easiest to set up the icons like you want them and then: gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites; copy the output and use that in the override file | 03:03 |
| ubukou | hephaistos, its not the easyiest thing dealing with xorg... | 03:03 |
| hephaistos | ubukou well you must not use xinearama because it completely breaks unity | 03:03 |
| hephaistos | Actually, every other DE out works perfectly with 4 or more monitors | 03:04 |
| worldkey | http://10.10.0.12:8080/Fotos | 03:04 |
| ubukou | hephaistos, i dont use unity.. sorry. | 03:04 |
| wormmd | hephaistos: "X break Y help" is not a great description. | 03:04 |
| ClientAlive | figure out? troubleshoot errors that wouldn't happen if it worked as it should? Have an intimate knowledge of a dozen technical areas as what? a prereq? | 03:04 |
| astrophil | anyone have any advice on videos not working with the latest upgrade? | 03:04 |
| wormmd | hephaistos: I think you just solved your problem: don't use Unity. I hate it anyway :) | 03:04 |
| ClientAlive | screw it | 03:04 |
| lurraca | /join #tmux | 03:04 |
| hephaistos | ClientAlive, Now you understand why linux sucks on the desktop | 03:05 |
| ubukou | hephaistos, wormmd and that is RIGHT! you need to google and take it step by step. | 03:05 |
| hephaistos | lol "google it" | 03:05 |
| wormmd | ClientAlive: You're using linux. | 03:05 |
| N1gg3rb8er | ubuntu has always worked fine for me as a desktop | 03:05 |
| wormmd | Actually, I guess he's not :) | 03:05 |
| N1gg3rb8er | os | 03:05 |
| hephaistos | Ubuntu Support Channel: Have a problem? Google it! | 03:05 |
| ShadowFios | how do i find whether i have an HDD or an SDD? | 03:05 |
| wormmd | hephaistos: None of us are getting paid to do this. | 03:05 |
| N1gg3rb8er | well the problem is that Cannonical uses a nigger language word for its inspiration | 03:06 |
| ubukou | hephaistos, wormmd im sure if you narrow it down someone THAT has the time will help you... linux takes patience and time. dont expect everything to work out of the box man. | 03:06 |
| wormmd | ShadowFios: do you know the make and model of the drive, or the computer if it's a Dell or HP or what not? | 03:06 |
| hephaistos | Working out of the box is exactly what Ubuntu advertises. | 03:06 |
| ShadowFios | wormmd: i dont know the model of the drive but i know its dell | 03:06 |
| astrophil | helloooooooooo | 03:06 |
| totesmuh1oats | hi astrophil | 03:07 |
| XStreamX | Okay I am trying to use the Cinnamon desktop when loggin into Ubuntu server 12.04 via vnc but I keep getting the gnome-classic desktop. I have tried to modify the .vnc/xstartup file without any success. Any ideas? | 03:07 |
| wormmd | ShadowFios: Dell Optiplex 780 or some such other thing? You need those words and numbers to figure it out. | 03:07 |
| ubukou | hephaistos, do you have dual screens out of the box ? | 03:07 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: sorry, I keep getting distracted, I'm looking into it now :) | 03:07 |
| hephaistos | I have triple screens out of the box, it's not UNHEARD OF IN THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD | 03:07 |
| astrophil | hi totesmuh1oats do you know anything about videos not working with the new upgrade? | 03:07 |
| ubukou | hephaistos, im not going to argue with you. if you think ubuntu is now worth your money take them back where you got them from. | 03:09 |
| hephaistos | Maybe someone needs to inform Mr. Shuttleworth to stop advertising Ubuntu as a feature complete OS ready for the Desktop | 03:09 |

| wormmd | hephaistos: how many people do you know that use three monitors? | 03:10 |
| hephaistos | Everyone in my office. | 03:10 |
| hephaistos | That's about 16 people | 03:10 |
| bazhang | wormmd, lets move on | 03:10 |
| wormmd | hephaistos: any of them use Linux? | 03:10 |
| hephaistos | All of them | 03:10 |
| wormmd | bazhang: agreed. | 03:10 |
| bazhang | hephaistos, this is not the channel to rant | 03:10 |
| astrophil | come on people someone has to know whats going on with my upgrade | 03:10 |
| ShadowFios | wormmd: how do I find the model? | 03:10 |
| bazhang | astrophil, blue video? | 03:11 |
| kcj | Anyone have any idea where my screenshots are going? | 03:11 |
| mcdonc | ~/Pictures usually | 03:11 |
| astrophil | bazhang, - i upgraded last night and whenever i try to watch a video, the video box is black | 03:11 |
| wormmd | ShadowFios: should be on the case somewhere, like Optiplex or Precision and then a three- or four-digit number. | 03:11 |
| kcj | mcdonc, Thanks. | 03:11 |
| mcdonc | np | 03:11 |
| JZApples | No one else here finds the orange highlight in Ubuntu annoying? | 03:11 |
| bazhang | astrophil, this is flash? or what | 03:12 |
| kcj | I'm used to the screenshot dialog. | 03:12 |
| astrophil | yeah. like youtube videos | 03:12 |
| astrophil | and i re-installed flash as well | 03:12 |
| bazhang | astrophil, you have other software in there such as swf player gnash etc? | 03:12 |
| astrophil | i dont think so | 03:12 |
| XStreamX | Okay I am trying to use the Cinnamon desktop when loggin into Ubuntu server 12.04 via vnc but I keep getting the gnome-classic desktop. I have tried to modify the .vnc/xstartup file without any success. Any ideas? | 03:13 |
| bazhang | XStreamX, try using something other than cinnamon , does that work | 03:14 |
| XStreamX | LIke what for instance? | 03:14 |
| sirriffsalot | Hey guys... Is there now even a temporary fix for people having bootup-freeze problems with a nvidia card having downloaded 12.04? | 03:15 |
| bazhang | XStreamX, like a supported package | 03:15 |
| XStreamX | Can u suggest one? | 03:15 |
| XStreamX | I think it has to do the the xstartup file. | 03:15 |
| bazhang | XStreamX, what version of ubuntu are you on to have the classic desktop | 03:15 |
| ShadowFios | wormmd: ATA ST9120310AS | 03:15 |
| ShadowFios | is that it? | 03:16 |
| astrophil | hello? | 03:16 |
| XStreamX | 12.04 but I am using server amd64 | 03:16 |
| XStreamX | I followed this guide originally ---> http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-VNC.html | 03:16 |
| bazhang | XStreamX, so thats the gnome-panel then? | 03:16 |
| csurap | my pc always goes to power save mode right after booting? | 03:16 |
| bazhang | !notunity | XStreamX you mean this? | 03:17 |
| ubottu | XStreamX you mean this?: 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 |
| csurap | anyone know whats the problem? | 03:17 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: this is a long shot, but does "dpkg -l | grep libc6" show that libc6 is installed? | 03:17 |
| bsmith0931 | ii libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries | 03:17 |
| bsmith0931 | ii libc6-dev 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 Embedded GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea | 03:17 |
| bsmith0931 | ii libc6-i686 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i686 optimized] | 03:17 |
| ShadowFios | wormmd: ATA ST9120310AS is the drive's model can you tell from that if it's HDD or SDD? | 03:18 |
| astrophil | screw it, if no one can help just tell me | 03:18 |
| wormmd | ShadowFios: that's not an SDD, unfortunately. | 03:18 |
| ShadowFios | wormmd: thx | 03:19 |
| wormmd | ShadowFios: np. | 03:19 |
| ShadowFios | astrophil: if people dont know they dont reply thinking that someone else will know | 03:19 |
| bazhang | astrophil, I asked if you had gnash or others installed, did you check or not | 03:19 |
| astrophil | yes and i said no | 03:19 |
| bazhang | astrophil, you said you thought not. check to make sure | 03:20 |
| astrophil | stupid question, but where do i look? | 03:20 |
| bazhang | astrophil, also, what if you download the flv, and play it with mplayer | 03:20 |
| XStreamX | •ubottu• I followed this guide http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-VNC.html and now want to change it to Cinnamon instead of gnome-classic. | 03:20 |
| bazhang | astrophil, in your package manager | 03:20 |
| astrophil | i dont see any of those listed | 03:21 |
| astrophil | also,i havetn tried the flv where can i get it | 03:21 |
| astrophil | sorry, im still kinda new to this | 03:21 |
| bazhang | astrophil, and my second question then | 03:21 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: I was following a lead that libc6 might possibly be broken, the only way I can think to check that off the top of my head is to remove and then add that package. | 03:21 |
| bsmith0931 | is that safe | 03:22 |
| bazhang | astrophil, flv is flash video | 03:22 |
| wylde | XStreamX: basically, if you're choosing to use 3rd party stuffs it's up to you to get support from said 3rd party. | 03:22 |
| wormmd | bsmith0931: I was about to ask the channel :) It probably is. | 03:22 |
| astrophil | ok so what do i do to get it'? | 03:22 |
| bazhang | astrophil, download the youtube clip, play it in mplayer. | 03:22 |
| astrophil | ok | 03:23 |
| bsmith0931 | to all, \can i safely remove lib6 and reinsall it | 03:23 |
| wormmd | bazhang: can you see any harm is something like sudo apt-get purge libc6 && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install libc6 to try to fix a possibly broken libc6? | 03:23 |
| bazhang | astrophil, there are various firefox plugins to get that | 03:23 |
| wormmd | bazhang: *harm in | 03:23 |
| sirriffsalot | No one has any idea...? | 03:23 |
| bazhang | wormmd, libc6? why would messing with that ever be a good idea | 03:23 |
| astrophil | found it, thanks | 03:24 |
| bsmith0931 | bazhang: i have a locale issue | 03:24 |
| XStreamX | •wylde• So you are saying I should ask the maker of Cinnamon for help? | 03:24 |
| bsmith0931 | wormmd thought that would work | 03:24 |
| bazhang | bsmith0931, please describe if you will | 03:24 |
| bazhang | XStreamX, we hav e no idea about cinnamon. try the usual supported ubuntu packages and see if you have the same issue first | 03:25 |
| === sirriffsalot is now known as sirsitsalot | ||
| wormmd | bazhang: I found a reference to a crazy edge case with a broken libc6 affecting locales. | 03:25 |
| bsmith0931 | ben@ben-laptop:~$ locale -a | grep en_US locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory en_US.utf8 | 03:25 |
| wylde | XStreamX: basically, I'm sure there are forums and whatnot. Is it fair to expect people (99.9% volunteer's) to know everything about every 3rd party package out there? | 03:25 |
| XStreamX | •bazhang• which one would you recommend? | 03:25 |
| wormmd | bazhang: this is closer to his problem http://pastebin.com/XqB44PgL | 03:26 |
| bazhang | XStreamX, just choose one and try | 03:26 |
| wylde | !flavors | XStreamX | 03:26 |
| ubottu | XStreamX: !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu | 03:26 |
| XStreamX | •wylde• no and I didn't suggest that there was | 03:26 |
| wormmd | bazhang: also, here's this: http://pastebin.com/SeC7VJvW | 03:26 |
| bsmith0931 | wormmd: thanks i lost track of those | 03:26 |
| wylde | XStreamX: not being offensive, just explaining why this channel won't support 3rd party stuffs :) | 03:26 |
| bazhang | bsmith0931, this is on server? | 03:26 |
| bsmith0931 | no ubuntu lucid | 03:27 |
| bazhang | bsmith0931, ie a server | 03:27 |
| ubukou | folk i am trying to make a thunar right click option that when you use it on a file: 1st: it moves it to a temp directory 2nd: it creates a folder named after the file i moved 3rd: move the file back to the folder i created. | 03:27 |
| bsmith0931 | Linux ben-laptop 2.6.32-41-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 29 13:08:43 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux | 03:27 |

| XStreamX | Is KDE a supported package? | 03:28 |
| ubukou | i got this far... any ideas how to get rid of that mkdir folder and make it same as the original filename? | 03:28 |
| bazhang | XStreamX, of course yes | 03:28 |
| XStreamX | bazhang new to linux so I not familiar with all the supported packages. | 03:29 |
| XStreamX | I am* | 03:29 |
| XStreamX | Off to install KDE and see what happens. | 03:29 |
| bazhang | XStreamX, you were just linked to them less than a minute ago | 03:29 |
| trism | bsmith0931: what does /etc/default/locale look like? | 03:29 |
| bsmith0931 | LANG="en_US.UTF-8" | 03:30 |
| wormmd | ubukou: what is the point of that command? | 03:31 |
| joseph_ | hi, | 03:31 |
| joseph_ | Is it possible to have spyware or virus running in ubuntu? | 03:32 |
| ubukou | wormmd, i am trying to make a thunar right click option that when you use it on a file: 1st: it moves it to a temp directory 2nd: it creates a folder named after the file i moved 3rd: move the file back to the folder i created. | 03:32 |
| javierf_ | Hi! for some reason, I can't leave conky sticked to my desktop. You can see a "box" around its limits and, if I use the buttom "show desktop", it will hide as any other windows. Someone has an idea why this is happening? Thanks! | 03:32 |
| joseph_ | Everytime I boot and connect to the internet a password prompt comes up (not to connect but when it's already connected) and every time I open the browser. | 03:32 |
| Floyd42 | joseph_: technically, yes. | 03:32 |
| ubukou | wormmd, basicaly take a file and place it in a folder that is named after that file. | 03:33 |
| wormmd | ubukou: right, but for what purpose? | 03:33 |
| joseph_ | Is there an antivirus for Linux? | 03:33 |
| bsmith0931 | joseph_: clamav | 03:33 |
| ubukou | wormmd, take a bunch of files and create folders for them | 03:33 |
| gunouille | joseph_, you know, some secret can't be poked like a persident's balls | 03:34 |
| Floyd42 | joseph_: yep. clamav. i also believe avast and avg have linux versions. | 03:34 |
| ubukou | wormmd, and then place them inside. | 03:34 |
| wormmd | ubukou: and then probably populate those folders with other things later related to said files? | 03:34 |
| nitesh | no need its so secure | 03:34 |
| joseph_ | Hey there are like 6 different kinds of clamav, which one do I get? | 03:35 |
| ubukou | wormmd, maybe not sure how it will turn out | 03:35 |
| ubukou | wormmd, any ideas? | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | joseph_, avast and bitdefender also have linux version. | 03:36 |
| trism | bsmith0931: somebody is setting LANG to en_US instead of en_US.UTF-8, maybe grep for en_US in your home directory, did you add anything to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile ? | 03:36 |
| wormmd | ubukou: so you're just hacking to hack. I support that :) | 03:36 |
| bsmith0931 | trism no, and no | 03:37 |
| wormmd | ubukou: I'd have to look into those wildcards, give me a minute. | 03:37 |
| bsmith0931 | the 12 commandment thou shall not fix what is not broken | 03:37 |
| bsmith0931 | also careful with wildcards | 03:37 |
| ubukou | wormmd, you misunderstood my intention of using that command. | 03:37 |
| joseph_ | I knew it! Give it time and Linux will be just as infected as windows. It's being used a lot so here comes the virus. | 03:37 |
| bsmith0931 | the 11th commandment is , odf course " be excellent to each other" | 03:38 |
| bazhang | joseph_, not so. | 03:39 |
| bazhang | joseph_, any other support questions? | 03:39 |
| nitesh | bye | 03:39 |
| andres__ | hi, which is the app that make in ubuntu that the fn keys work on my Asus K53TA, I have actually Xubuntu but this not have that functionality. | 03:40 |
| joseph_ | I asked one, but no one responded. I went to Synaptic and looked up "antivirus" and the avclam showed up but there are many of them, which one do I get? | 03:40 |
| bazhang | joseph_, why would you need one | 03:41 |
| joseph_ | I think my ubuntu has an infection | 03:41 |
| LinuxMonkey | !antivirus | joseph_ | 03:41 |
| ubottu | joseph_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 03:41 |
| gunouille | sure | 03:41 |
| bazhang | joseph_, what leads you to believe that | 03:41 |
| ubukou | joseph_, unlikely.. unless you have been REALLY CARELESS | 03:42 |
| joseph_ | prompts for password everytime I connect to internet and each time I open a browser. | 03:42 |
| bazhang | joseph_, have you been running firefox with sudo? | 03:42 |
| ubukou | joseph_, try running them via the terminal and see what happens | 03:42 |
| joseph_ | I use crome and no its' not with sudu | 03:43 |
| gunouille | joseph_, is there such a thing? my 12.04 is fine so far | 03:43 |
| joseph_ | I'm using 10.04 | 03:43 |
| bazhang | joseph_, its the keyring? or your sudo password that is prompted for | 03:43 |
| gunouille | my 10.04 is ok too | 03:43 |
| joseph_ | yes the keyring | 03:43 |
| gunouille | i run 10.04, 11.04 and 12.04. none has this issue | 03:44 |
| joseph_ | all the time, every time I open a browser | 03:44 |
| bazhang | joseph_, then just set it to blank. thats not a virus | 03:44 |
| wormmd | ubukou: maybe I did, I was just curious as to the point of the command. Juggling like three balls at once now, which is fewer than earlier, but still, I suck at juggling ;) | 03:44 |
| terry_ | Any recommendations for VideoCapturing (via webcam)? | 03:45 |
| bazhang | !info camorama | 03:45 |
| ubottu | camorama (source: camorama): gnome utility to view and save images from a webcam. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.19-2.2 (precise), package size 165 kB, installed size 1150 kB | 03:45 |
| ubukou | joseph_, hahaha... not trying anything bad here, im sure that command could be used for many purposes.. | 03:45 |
| joseph_ | what are you talking about? what command? | 03:46 |
| joseph_ | btw, how do I open browser via terminal? | 03:46 |
| bazhang | joseph_, why not set the keyring to blank, as I suggest | 03:46 |
| ubukou | joseph_, open terminal and type "firefox" | 03:46 |
| joseph_ | I don't know how to do that, I'm new sorry, I dont even know what a keyring is, other then an annoying password thingy | 03:47 |
| ubukou | joseph_, wormmd i love how a command that i am trying to make causes so much buzz.. | 03:47 |
| soupeee | how do I stop getting asked for a password whenever my pc boots. 12.04 | 03:47 |
| * gunouille disabled java, flash and emcascript | 03:47 | |
| joseph_ | ubukou, how do I open google crome? for that's what I use, firefox doesn't prompt for password | 03:48 |
| Grunewald | Hi there, is there a way to simply update a WUBI installed ubuntu from the outside? I updated my Ubuntu to 11.10 which killed my bluetooth drivers and now I can#t log in any more because my Keyboard and mouse aren't detected anymore. I am hoping if I update to 12.4 it might work again | 03:48 |
| bazhang | joseph_, to put something in terminal? or to check in users and groups and set the keyring there; which one | 03:48 |
| kris | hi guys, so when i type a command into terminal it works, but when i paste it into /etc/rc.local and restart, it doesn't, can anyone help with getting commands done on startup?? | 03:48 |
| bazhang | joseph_, open a terminal and type chrome (not crome) | 03:49 |
| joseph_ | joseph@joseph-laptop:~$ chrome | 03:49 |
| joseph_ | chrome: command not found | 03:49 |
| ubukou | joseph_, google-chrome . Google the problem you are having. you must start understanding how linux works. if you have been using linux for 2.5 years and have these questions its very "lazy" of you :) | 03:50 |
| sirsitsalot | I'm trying to sudo update-grub after having modified the file a bit, but I get this message "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)" running from a livecd btw | 03:50 |
| joseph_ | soupee, I can help you with that. | 03:50 |
| joseph_ | in the search, look for "log in screen" and you can set it to auto log in there. | 03:50 |
| ubukou | sirsitsalot, not sure if what im saying is correct but you must reconfigure Grub. | 03:50 |
| trism | bsmith0931: hmm, what does your ~/.dmrc look like? | 03:50 |
| sirsitsalot | ubottu: I just have... I just want to run the update command so it takes effect:P | 03:51 |
| ubottu | sirsitsalot: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:51 |
| sirsitsalot | Uhh | 03:51 |
| wormmd | sirsitsalot: if I'm not mistaken you need to chroot into the filesystem you want to alter. | 03:51 |

| gunouille | ... | 03:51 |
| joseph_ | ubukou, you are right, I've been lazy because my work and everything else uses Windows, I use Linux as a hobby and use different distros on my pcs here at home. | 03:52 |
| sirsitsalot | wormmd: really? No idea how to do that.. | 03:52 |
| wormmd | sirsitsalot: I did it twice recently, drawing up a paste... | 03:52 |
| sirsitsalot | I'm having nvidia issues with the 12.04 release, as with everyone else, so wanted to make "nomodeset" when booting up permanently.. | 03:53 |
| sirsitsalot | wormmd: fantastic:) | 03:53 |
| joseph_ | so far, none of them bets ubuntu 10.04. It's the only version that doesn't have a lot of problems like them new ones. | 03:53 |
| felipe_Brz | can anyone tell me how to get more dictionaries/word lists in **/usr/share/dict** ?? my directory is empty!! | 03:54 |
| ubukou | wormmd, sirsitsalot its likely that you need a simple configuration in your grub config file... | 03:55 |
| ubukou | sirsitsalot, point it to the right direction | 03:55 |
| sirsitsalot | ubukou: if no one is entirely sure I'll just configure it back:) | 03:55 |
| sirsitsalot | ubukou: but am I am in the right directory | 03:55 |
| sirsitsalot | dreamstudio@dreamstudio:/media/b0c63cd1-8f57-47c0-be01-0fc9d618ab91/etc/default$ sudo update-grub | 03:55 |

| joseph_ | I need a Linux system that's easy to use and will run well on a 512 mb RAM and 2 gig single core cpu, any suggestions? | 03:55 |
| bazhang | !lubuntu | joseph_ | 03:56 |
| ubottu | joseph_: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 03:56 |
| trism | felipe_Brz: apt-cache search wordlist; will list a bunch | 03:56 |

| DasEi | ah | 03:56 |
| ubukou | sirsitsalot, are you running these commands on a live cd? | 03:56 |

| joseph_ | I tried it, but how do I get the netbook version of it? I can't fine the .iso download. | 03:57 |
| bazhang | soupeee, auto log in , is that what you mean? | 03:57 |
| DasEi | soupeee: set to autolgin | 03:57 |
| ubukou | sirsitsalot, you need to run them on the broken grub install... | 03:57 |
| sirsitsalot | ubukou: meaning? | 03:57 |
| bazhang | joseph_, there is none. | 03:57 |
| soupeee | where do I set it? | 03:57 |
| joseph_ | I didn't think so. I need to learn more about the commands and how Linux works. Anybody know where I can get a download of the common Linux commands? | 03:58 |
| bazhang | !rute > joseph_ | 03:58 |
| ubottu | joseph_, please see my private message | 03:58 |
| sirsitsalot | joseph_: google is a good place to start:) | 03:58 |
| bazhang | !terminal | joseph_ | 03:59 |
| ubottu | joseph_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 03:59 |

| ubukou | raj, ./filename.run | 04:01 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: are you certain the USB is actually getting/sending any signals? | 04:01 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: any light?:P | 04:01 |
| itisme | the light is on | 04:01 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: hmm | 04:01 |
| raj | worked, thank you | 04:01 |
| itisme | in terminal if I go aslamixer I can select it with F6 | 04:02 |
| raj | what's ./ mean though? | 04:02 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: not that experienced in Linux to be honest, let's hope someone else has further ideas | 04:02 |
| raj | current directory? | 04:02 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: ah | 04:02 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: well then it is definitely in your system. What desktop environment are you running? | 04:02 |
| itisme | default fresh install | 04:02 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: so unity? | 04:02 |
| ubukou | raj, yes | 04:02 |
| itisme | i guess i do not know.. it is ubuntu | 04:03 |
| raj | ubukou, isn't that redundant if i'm in the directory anyway? | 04:03 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: hang on, F6 is to select the sound card... | 04:03 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: is your USB plug a sound card?:D | 04:03 |
| itisme | no | 04:03 |
| ubukou | raj, i guess in some cases no. | 04:03 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: what exactly are you trying to plug in? | 04:03 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: iPod? | 04:04 |
| obelus | sirriffsalot: If it's a USB microphone, then yes, it counts as a sound card. | 04:04 |
| sirriffsalot | obelus: yeah; that's why I asked:) | 04:04 |
| itisme | no it is a microphone - http://tinyurl.com/89njkvo | 04:04 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: and what would you like to do with it? | 04:05 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: this explains a lot:P | 04:05 |
| itisme | record audio | 04:05 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: with ardour? | 04:05 |
| itisme | what is that? | 04:05 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: recording software. what are you planning to record with?:) | 04:05 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: audacity? | 04:05 |
| itisme | some kind of desktop recorder | 04:05 |
| obelus | raj: ./ is required to run things in the current directory as it isn't in the path - the reason being that it's considered insecure to include the current directory in the path (imagine someone writes a malicious program and saves it as 'ls' in a directory, you go into the directory and type 'ls' and it runs their program instead of listing the file contents. | 04:05 |
| itisme | I have 3 installed | 04:05 |
| JZApples | I figured out how to change the selected color scheme. ubuntu rocks. | 04:06 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: what is it called exactly? So I can help you select the right microphone for recording:) | 04:06 |
| raj | interesting | 04:06 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: the software you are going to record with | 04:06 |
| raj | thanks for the info obelus | 04:06 |
| itisme | um hang on | 04:06 |
| itisme | kazam screencaster | 04:06 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: gimme a moment:) | 04:06 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: is there any particular reason you use that? | 04:07 |
| itisme | no | 04:07 |
| itisme | i jus twant to record my desktop with audio | 04:07 |
| obelus | raj: No problem. Gotta rush off now though, just thought I'd pop in for a minute first. Also, you don't need ./ to run a command on a file in your current directory, so you can do 'nano myfile', but to run it, you need './myfile' | 04:07 |
| obelus | Anyway, I'm out guys. | 04:07 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: record your desktop with a microphone? | 04:07 |
| wormmd | sirriffsalot: You do want to install grub to the MBR, rightr? | 04:07 |
| wormmd | sirriffsalot: *right | 04:07 |
| raj | understood | 04:07 |
| raj | bye | 04:07 |
| sirriffsalot | wormmd: no, I simply want to update the grub file:P | 04:08 |

| sirriffsalot | wormmd: now I simply want to update it | 04:09 |
| wormmd | sirriffsalot: ah. | 04:09 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: ok, so open up your kazam | 04:09 |

| sirriffsalot | Ah! | 04:10 |
| itisme | oh wait.. it is just super low | 04:10 |

| itisme | how do you turn it up? | 04:11 |
| KingKatari | Umm what is the App Whoopsie on Ubuntu Server 12.04 | 04:11 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: press the dash button (top left ubuntu icon) | 04:11 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: and type in "mix" and select Gnome Alsa Mixer | 04:11 |
| DasEi | KingKatari: software-center ? synaptic still there, too | 04:11 |
| itisme | I think i need to install it | 04:11 |
| itisme | nothing is showing up | 04:11 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: you can do that if you want, or go to alsamixer in terminal | 04:12 |
| itisme | ok | 04:12 |
| itisme | i am there | 04:12 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: if you search through the options | 04:12 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: you should see some record/mic options | 04:12 |
| sirriffsalot | itisme: I'll betcha anything one of them is turned very low | 04:12 |
| sirriffsalot | Try to speak into your mic while you turn one after the other up and you'll know soon enough how things should be;) | 04:13 |
| sirriffsalot | wormmd: how's the solution coming?:D | 04:13 |

| wormmd | sirriffsalot: as a note, you should be editing /etc/default/grub and then running update-grub, not editing the grub.conf directly. | 04:16 |
| sirriffsalot | wormmd: yea, did that | 04:16 |
| sirriffsalot | wormmd: this looks too scary for me, lol:) My system is already compromized, I appreciate your time, but I want a more temporary solution until the devs figure out something more permanent | 04:17 |

| APoulos | Here's my exclusion param: --exclude .* - how would I tweak that to do to directories that begin with "."? | 04:19 |
| wormmd | sirriffsalot: Not entirely sure you understand your issue, if I don't. Maybe something got lost in translation somewhere. | 04:20 |

| ubukou | <ubukou> and now i need to substitute "folder" with the original filename... | 04:42 |
| ubukou | <ubukou> any ideas why %X isnt working ? | 04:42 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: afraid not... | 04:43 |
| ubukou | or any other ideas for that matter.. im running on fumes here,,, ??? | 04:43 |
| danny | sirriffsalot: yea far beyond my knoledge haha i cant evan get a word for word tutorial to work right now but when u get it running its a real treat and this is the place to be these guys have helped me numerous times just gotta be patient with them | 04:44 |
| sirriffsalot | danny: in my case they have to be patient with me haha:) | 04:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: where did %X come from? | 04:44 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: a bit of a hassle as my time runs out; you will have to fix for bluetooth and your plymouth (the latter causing your graphics fun), if that alone (update/grade not to be forgotten) might have to reconfigure x | 04:44 |
| sirriffsalot | danny: computer I'm at is temporary, but it pisses me off that these things always happen to me | 04:44 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, thank you for aswering, im ready to cry | 04:44 |
| ajah | just upgraded to 12.04 getty is spawning rapidly and its in running state, after kil it keeps spawning, any help? | 04:44 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: As clueless as before I am, help appreciated it is:) I have to run as well soon anyway:) | 04:45 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: from present situation will have to chroot from live into hd so changes take place there | 04:45 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: gonna save this conversation;D | 04:45 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, %X — Everything but the file extension. | 04:45 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: how do I do that? | 04:45 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: into HD? | 04:45 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: Oh hard disk:P | 04:45 |
| danny | sirriffsalot: ha get an asus hanvt had a prob with them and ubuntu yet im using the k52f model btw | 04:45 |
| itisme | dose anyone here use "Guake" | 04:45 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, you understand what i am trying to do right ? | 04:46 |
| Ann-Mariya | Can I run windows 7 on ubuntu 10 with virtual box ose ? | 04:46 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: think of it : http://paolobernardi.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/fix-plymouth-on-ubuntu-after-installing-nvidia-or-ati-proprietary-drivers-for-ubuntu-11-04-natty/ | 04:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: does it include the full path or just the filename? (ex: /home/ububou/somefolder/somefile or just somefile)? | 04:46 |
| sirriffsalot | danny: now where's the fun in that;D | 04:46 |
| danny | Ann-Mariya: yes but idk why u would | 04:46 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: cool, I'll look more closely when I get home. thank you ever so much for the help!:) | 04:46 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, if it included that it should be able to mkdir the folder i need... so i am guessing no . | 04:47 |
| Ann-Mariya | danny: I can't install win7 seperately | 04:47 |
| ryzzan | i can access my wi-fi but internet is not working on ubuntu (tried on 3 different machines - 2 different ubuntus)... can someone gimme some help? | 04:47 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: your facts are chroot, update/grade , removal of unneeded stuff aka bluetooth, plymouth, and if npo avail reconfiguring x | 04:47 |
| danny | Ann-Mariya: why is that ? | 04:47 |
| Ann-Mariya | danny: it doesn't support GUI partition | 04:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: also, where did %n come from? if you start with %f, stay with %f | 04:47 |
| ajah | just upgraded to 12.04 getty is spawning rapidly and its in running state, after kil it keeps spawning, any help? | 04:47 |
| DasEi | !chroot | sirriffsalot | 04:48 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: no idea how to do the last, but I'll figure it out with the help of others in the end I suppose:) Cheers! | 04:48 |
| ubottu | sirriffsalot: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 04:48 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, i have tried cd %d; mkdir folder | 04:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: try "mkdir %X && mv %f %X/" | 04:48 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: cool:D | 04:48 |
| Ann-Mariya | danny: That I don't know. But the fact is that u can't install win7 after installing ubuntu | 04:48 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: sure , no yoda skills needed there :) | 04:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: that will only work for files that have extensions though (if all of yours do, then you should be good to go) | 04:48 |
| ryzzan | i can access my wi-fi but internet is not working on ubuntu (tried on 3 different machines - 2 different ubuntus)... any idea? | 04:48 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: to me it is hardcore yoda this | 04:49 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, gimme a moment to see that.. im pretty boiled here | 04:49 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, thanks | 04:49 |
| danny | Ann-Mariya: back your stuff up install windows then isntall ubuntu either with wubi or with the reg installer | 04:49 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: still aplication, not coders level | 04:49 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: well in the end it will have to be, right? | 04:50 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: ubuntu developers are working their butts off to fix these nvidia problems | 04:50 |
| ryzzan | ???? :( | 04:50 |
| Ann-Mariya | danny: When I install ubuntu after installing win7, the windows automatically wents deleted | 04:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: can you post a link to thunar's docs that describe %f, %d, %n, %X, etc? it will speed this up a LOT | 04:50 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: yes, I need some time now, I could give it a try in an hour or so, before I have to leave later | 04:50 |
| Ann-Mariya | :-( | 04:51 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: another good place is forum or askubuntu.com, not as speedy as here | 04:51 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: Promised to meet someone soon, so perhaps we shall meet again master:) If not it has been a pleasure:) I'll manage to lift it myself some day;D | 04:51 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, how can i select these alt click or something ? | 04:51 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: I think I'll stick to here lol:) | 04:51 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: but yea, asked in forums too | 04:51 |
| ryzzan | Ann-Mariya: it wasnt automatic, u probably chose to do it... | 04:52 |
| DasEi | sirriffsalot: common tasks like chroot from live to hd are there nice written | 04:52 |
| ryzzan | :) | 04:52 |
| leku | how much disk space does the current-ish versions of Ubuntu take up? | 04:52 |
| Ann-Mariya | ryzzan: No i won't | 04:52 |
| sirriffsalot | DasEi: I'll manage it:D Preparing to leave now though;) | 04:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: you mean selecting multiple files? | 04:52 |
| leku | I have windows installed on a 300GB drive with 193GB free.. wondering if I shuold split the 193 aand dual boot | 04:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: or the link? | 04:53 |
| DasEi | leku: basic minimal instll a gig, dektop /w no space ~4gig, depends on your selection | 04:53 |
| ryzzan | Ann-Mariya: were u installing ubuntu? whick version? | 04:53 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, i ll copy them sec. | 04:53 |
| leku | i want to do a lot of software develipment with it | 04:53 |
| ryzzan | which* | 04:53 |
| leku | i normally wouldn't care how much it uses just want a rough idea | 04:53 |
| DasEi | leku: I won't go below 30 gig ... time will eat it up | 04:53 |
| leku | k | 04:53 |
| Ann-Mariya | leku: y don't u install ubuntu along with win | 04:53 |
| leku | thats what i was going to do ann-mariya | 04:53 |
| ryzzan | PEOPLEi can access my wi-fi but internet is not working on ubuntu (tried on 3 different machines - 2 different ubuntus)... any idea? | 04:54 |
| leku | and repartition | 04:54 |
| Ann-Mariya | leku: then use wubi | 04:54 |
| leku | my other choice is to use this brand new hard drive I got that is a lot bigger | 04:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: nvm about the link, I just installed thunar and found the list in the application | 04:54 |
| DasEi | !dualboot | leku | 04:54 |

| leku | what is wubi? | 04:54 |
| DasEi | !wubi | 04:54 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 04:54 |
| danny | Ann-Mariya: hmm for all the machines ive done it on it allways lets me choose to either deleted or isntall alongside but i have used virual box and it works pretty well if ur machine is up to par ive had no complaints with it https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 04:54 |
| leku | man I dunno | 04:54 |
| DasEi | leku: go dualboot | 04:54 |
| leku | I want a legit ubuntu | 04:54 |
| leku | not this wubi | 04:54 |
| leku | i dont even know if i want ubuntu | 04:54 |
| DasEi | :) | 04:54 |
| leku | maybe i should go something esoteric like netbsd | 04:55 |
| Ann-Mariya | wubi? | 04:55 |
| DasEi | leku: use a vm and distrowatch to decide | 04:55 |
| leku | good idea | 04:55 |
| Ann-Mariya | windows ubuntu installer | 04:55 |
| ryzzan | i can access my wi-fi but internet is not working on ubuntu (tried on 3 different machines - 2 different ubuntus)... any idea, anyone? | 04:55 |
| DasEi | Ann-Mariya: see above | 04:55 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, http://pastebin.com/WyAyExcu | 04:55 |
| leku | so it makes some kinda ext3 container on windows? | 04:55 |
| danny | leku, thats your choice thats whats fun about linux ive tried about 6 diff distros but none can get me away from ubuntu | 04:55 |
| leku | that linux lives in? | 04:55 |
| leku | i've been using linux since slackware | 04:56 |
| leku | and 1.2.13 | 04:56 |
| ubukou | DarwinSurvivor, if these are the only ones i can use i really need to think outside the box | 04:56 |
| leku | just haven't used it as my main desktop OS in many years | 04:56 |
| leku | didn't mesh with what i needed to do at work | 04:56 |
| DasEi | leku: no, but a container on ntfs, which defragments and causes you trouble | 04:56 |
| leku | hah | 04:56 |
| ryzzan | ?????????????? help... anyone | 04:56 |
| ryzzan | :P | 04:56 |

| wylde | DarwinSurvivor ubukou : http://paste.ubuntu.com/977286/ <--- this seems to work. I assume you can launch a script from thunar? ( I know I didn't quote my variables but I'm a bash nub anyway) :P | 05:03 |
| ryzzan | iceroot: thought i was missing something, cuz this ubottu bot is always telling me to ask differently | 05:03 |
| ryzzan | :P | 05:03 |
| iceroot | ryzzan: with !foo you are triggerin the bot ubottu | 05:04 |
| wylde | DarwinSurvivor ubukou : and I suppose the extension variable is useless but the if you wanted to extend the functioality. | 05:04 |
| krababbel_ | ryzzan: you mean you can ping the wifi router, but 8.8.8.8 for exmple doesn't work? | 05:05 |
| wylde | *there *functionality | 05:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: ok, I GOT it! | 05:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: mv %n %n.thunar_mv_tmp && mkdir %n && mv %n.thunar_mv_tmp %n/%n | 05:06 |
| ryzzan | krababbel_: that's the weirdest thing... i'm connected to the wi-fi ssid... but i can't ping the router | 05:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: the only bug is that it does't work on empy files (no idea why, must be a bug in thunar confusing empty files with folders or something) | 05:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ubukou: wait, did you need the folder to not have the extension in it's name? | 05:08 |
| krababbel_ | ryzzan: do you use dhcp? | 05:08 |
| ryzzan | krababbel_: yeah | 05:08 |
| wylde | DarwinSurvivor ubukou : mine should work with empty files :P and removes the extension from the directory name | 05:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wylde: mine should work with empty files as well, I find it VERY weird that it doesn't... | 05:09 |
| phonon | Hi | 05:09 |

| InvaderAnd | The unity menu and indicators has just become invisible on my computer. Do anyone know how to fix that or how to at least figure out what went wrong? It happened right after I opened a new chrome tab :S | 05:27 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: well you should start by installing python gobject introspection I suppose. Are you sure this .deb is meant for your version of ubuntu? | 05:28 |
| grendal-prime | well the gui..front endy thing liked it? | 05:29 |
| grendal-prime | and ya i got pyton-gobject installed already | 05:29 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: well can you "import gi" in python? | 05:29 |
| krababbel | ryzzan: your default route is empty, try 'sudo ip route add default via x.x.x.x' | 05:29 |

| jrib | grendal-prime: what do you mean? It doesn't do anything. It gathers information. | 05:32 |
| grendal-prime | import gi.. | 05:32 |
| grendal-prime | i run that ..and it doesnt import anythang | 05:32 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: what was the result? | 05:32 |
| ryzzan | krababbel: gonna try it | 05:33 |
| grendal-prime | just came back to the command prompt..no error..just nothing | 05:33 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: run "python" first. Then "import gi" | 05:33 |
| grendal-prime | im wondering if its just a version problem | 05:33 |
| grendal-prime | right | 05:34 |
| grendal-prime | ImportError: No module named gi | 05:34 |
| grendal-prime | just like when it is called from the script | 05:34 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: now close python (ctrl-d) so you're back at a normal prompt. What is the result of: readlink -f $(which python) | 05:34 |

| ye | hello! There is an question puzzling me: I installed Ubuntu 12.04 following Ubuntu 10.04 on VMware , and they are in different partitions. When I power on the virtual machine, then an OS choice list occurs(called GNU GRUB 1.99-21Ubuntu3). But I'd like to change the list for some reason, so I looked up /boot/grub/menu.lst. however it doen't exist! Can anyone tell me where the file is? Sorry for my poor english. | 05:35 |

| Tony | Ok guys... I'm here to ask for help. | 05:36 |
| krababbel | ryzzan: no ideas, try static configuration first | 05:36 |
| Tony | Anybody here available to help me real quick? Trying to get my wireless card working. | 05:36 |
| grendal-prime | we got buckets of help | 05:36 |
| Tony | I was hoping so, lol. | 05:36 |
| grendal-prime | its falling out my youknow what right not.. | 05:37 |
| Tony | Basically, I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 and am having some issues figuring out how to set up my wireless. | 05:37 |
| grendal-prime | i had to hire a midget to follow me around and catch it...spare time as well. | 05:37 |
| ryzzan | krababbel: gonna do it then... ty | 05:37 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: are you sure you've installed the correct package for gobject-introspection in lucid? | 05:37 |
| grendal-prime | eeeeewwwww i hate 1204 sorry | 05:37 |
| grendal-prime | well..jri | 05:38 |
| Tony | Ok, let me back up, maybe you have a better recommendation. | 05:38 |
| grendal-prime | there is something called that but has -dev on it | 05:38 |
| Tony | It's an OLD Belkin card, version 4100. | 05:38 |
| grendal-prime | gobject-introspection | 05:38 |
| Tony | F5D70000 version 4100 | 05:39 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: well probably the way gobject | 05:40 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: well probably the way gobject-introspection has changed since lucid | 05:40 |
| grendal-prime | i installed that as well ill give it a shot | 05:41 |
| grendal-prime | nope same error | 05:41 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: no, I'm telling you that your version of lucid is to old to run that software as is. | 05:41 |
| jrib | argh, it's too late. | 05:41 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: the program you're trying to install expects gobject-introspection that is newer than that provided in lucid (as lucid was released about 2 years ago) | 05:42 |
| jrib | grendal-prime: I don't remember that being the case, but that's what it seems like :? | 05:44 |
| ktwo | Hi, what can i do to further increase the performance on a VM? (Ive already installed LXDE, disabled effects and font AA) | 05:45 |

| B|tchX | adjust your ram ktwo | 05:47 |
| B|tchX | on the vm machine ktwo | 05:47 |
| ktwo | B|tchX, i mean what can i do inside the OS , the parameters of the VM are not changeable | 05:47 |
| ktwo | is there some filesystem feature i can turn off or something | 05:48 |
| ktwo | i dont need journaling for example, this is purely a testing vm , performance > all | 05:48 |
| B|tchX | nothing I can think of | 05:48 |
| Tony | Anybody fluent in setting up a wireless network through command line / no GUI? | 05:51 |
| IngoPan | gm | 05:52 |
| Tony | ?? | 05:52 |
| lramon | hey | 05:52 |
| wookiehk | hi, can anyone tell me the difference between the scripts in /etc/init.d and /etc/init? | 05:53 |
| Tony | Please PM me if you think you can help me with a basic wireless setup... | 05:53 |
| Tony | Through GUI, no X server. | 05:53 |
| lramon | does any body know a blueray burner that works with linux | 05:54 |
| wookiehk | Tony, CLI or GUI? | 05:54 |
| Terminus_ | wookiehk: /etc/init.d contains sys v init scripts. /etc/init contains upstart init scripts. | 05:54 |
| Tony | CLI | 05:54 |
| ktwo | lramon, for burning i dont see why there should be issues | 05:55 |
| wookiehk | Terminus_, so sys v scriopts are only run when called, where upstart scripts run on boot up? | 05:55 |
| wookiehk | Tony, are you trying to connect to an AP? | 05:55 |
| lramon | i've looked but can't find a blueray burner that works with linux | 05:55 |
| Terminus_ | wookiehk: no. sys v init scripts is the old method of starting services on bootup. ubuntu shifted to upstart in order to have an event triggered startup system instead. not everything has been migrated from sys v init to upstart yet. | 05:57 |
| ktwo | lramon, whare are you looking? basically br burning works like dvd burning , if the software supports it you're fine | 05:57 |
| ktwo | but you can not view dhcp bluray of course | 05:57 |
| ktwo | i mean hdcp | 05:57 |
| atdiehm | I am on 12.04, and I have an external NAS which exports smb shares… from the mac, I can just browse to it, and operate on it fine.. from 12.04 I bookmarked it through the 'places' GUI… but every read/write attempt errors the first try, but then usually works the second… any idea what I may have needed to do differently? | 05:57 |
| ktwo | lramon, worst-case coming, you can still use a windows VM inside of linux to burn them, but if im not wrong brasero can do it | 05:58 |
| lramon | i mean a blueray player model like a sony or something | 05:58 |
| Qualia | is it worth upgrading to 12.04 ? | 06:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lramon: do you just want to dump files on it, copy a blu-ray or create a blu-ray movie? | 06:00 |
| lramon | to be honest we were trying to data dump it to copy a ps3 game i heard that it is possible | 06:01 |
| grendal-prime | i say..give peace a chance...and if that doesnt work get out of the way so the motivated people with balls can do what they were trained to do.!! | 06:01 |
| grendal-prime | night all | 06:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lramon: PS3 games probably have a bunch of copy protection on them, so it may not work | 06:02 |
| lramon | The data dump copies every thing even the encryption so it should work were trying to do it. | 06:04 |
| Qualia | is it worth upgrading to 12.04 ? | 06:05 |
| wookiehk | Terminus_, ok so anything in /etc/init.d wont start and ill have to port them across to /etc/init ? | 06:05 |
| Qualia | am i asking a stupid question ? | 06:06 |
| Qualia | Qualia, yes. | 06:06 |
| ktwo | Qualia, well think about it yourself, of course upgrades generally are a good thing | 06:06 |
| ktwo | but if you cant risk to lose time if something goes wrong | 06:06 |
| ktwo | then you come back to "never touch a running system" | 06:07 |
| Qualia | i can, i want more problems | 06:07 |
| wylde | !opinion | Qualia | 06:07 |
| ubottu | Qualia: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 06:07 |
| Qualia | solving problems is a good way of learning the system and i need to know more and more | 06:07 |
| Guido1 | hello, when i start ubuntu it finds some errors, but i can't see the comandos like I for ignore. what are the comandos? | 06:07 |
| Qualia | so instead of asking you i need to go research now | 06:07 |
| aeon-ltd | wut? | 06:08 |
| Qualia | and stop being a hypocrite | 06:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lramon: have you heard of dd? | 06:08 |
| darkhalo117 | Anybody know why DRM drivers might be causing my video not to display? | 06:08 |
| allu2 | Qualia: more problems? try adding debian experimental and sid repos to your ubuntu's /etc/apt/sources.list , then do apt-get dist-upgrade and it should guranteen you problems :P | 06:09 |
| Terminus_ | wookiehk: no. scripts in /etc/init.d will still start. things are complicated a bit by the fact that insserv is used as a hack to decide how services are started from /etc/init.d/. in any case, scripts that have been ported to upstart are replaced with a script that starts/stops the service the upstart way. | 06:09 |
| aeon-ltd | Qualia: how much do you want to learn? if you've got time i'd suggest starting with a server/cli install then building from there | 06:09 |
| chiliblue | how can I adjust the geometry of my desktop, it is overscanned on my hdtv, nvidia driver? | 06:09 |
| lramon | yes I'm in a network security class at a tech school and we discussed a little on dd and it was said that you can copy ps3 and xbox 360 games without a mod | 06:10 |
| itisme | what dose "checkinstall" do wehn doing an - - - apt-get install <ApplicationName> checkinstall - - - ? | 06:10 |
| aeon-ltd | lramon: how do you intend to copy ps3 games without a bd-rw? cause they ain't cheap | 06:11 |
| Terminus_ | wookiehk: are you trying to write an init script? if you don't care about distros besides ubuntu, you can just write an upstart script and be done with it. | 06:11 |
| allu2 | Qualia: though i must warn you, you wont get support anywhere if you do that :P | 06:11 |
| Guido1 | hello, when i start ubuntu it finds some errors, but i can't see the comandos like I for ignore. what are the comandos? | 06:11 |
| shani0610 | Hello guys, I have this problem mounting my harddrive: I get this error all the time mounting -Daemon is inhibited | 06:11 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: i'm still not getting you | 06:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lramon: then try dd, if that doesn't work, chances are you won't be able to get it to (not a until a VERY smart person comes up with a solution) | 06:11 |
| ktwo | lramon, you cant even copy x360 games to work like the original ones because of plain hardware limitations | 06:11 |
| Qualia | allu2, No worries :) | 06:11 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: different applications will have different commands | 06:11 |
| ktwo | the original ones have areas written which NO burner can write | 06:11 |
| Qualia | allu2, and thank you | 06:11 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: if you start ubuntu then it cheks for errors on the hard disk | 06:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !tab | lramon | 06:12 |
| ubottu | lramon: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 06:12 |
| lramon | yea thats why i first asked what blueray burner was compat for the linux | 06:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !who | lramon | 06:12 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: you mean fsck? | 06:12 |
| ubottu | lramon: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 06:12 |
| allu2 | Qualia: don't thank me and really, consider what your doing that will really break your system :S | 06:12 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: it's the automatic chek. if it is fsck, then yes | 06:12 |
| allu2 | Qualia: backups at least! | 06:12 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: you mean you want to skip it? | 06:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lramon: oh, you want *hardware*. my old laptop had a blu-ray *reader*, but it wasn't a burner | 06:13 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: i want to know the comments for it like "repair", "ignore error", ... | 06:13 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: that will be in the man pages for fsck | 06:14 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: 'man fsck' at a terminal | 06:14 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: in the screen witch shows up i can't see the comments :-( | 06:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lramon: well, it *looks* like linux support blu-ray burners (they appear to be standardized), but of course I can't guarantee anything | 06:15 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: with other computers i can, but they have no problems in the moment | 06:15 |
| lramon | thanks to all of you for the info i'll check with you later kind of late here | 06:15 |
| wookiehk | Terminus_, i have init.d scripts thaat dont seem to load at boot time, wondering if i make an upstart job whether having both of them in two diff locations is a bad thing! | 06:16 |
| Terminus_ | wookiehk: use either sysv or upstart. don't use both at the same time. | 06:16 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: i'm still unclear, if you could get a screenshot and show the people in this channel they may be able to help | 06:17 |
| wookiehk | Terminus_, ok thanks | 06:17 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: i'm not sure if i can make a screenshot - it is bevore i enter my password | 06:18 |
| Terminus_ | wookiehk: if you placed them in init.d manually, you'll have to run update-rc.d to actually get them working. putting them in init.d isn't enough. | 06:18 |
| wookiehk | Terminus_, true, thanks for the reminder. I think ill write the upstart ones and del the init.d ones | 06:18 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: do you remember anything else from the screen? | 06:18 |
| fidel_ | ahoi | 06:18 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: a bit. at first it sayes it is cheking for errord and a percentage | 06:19 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: then it finds an error and stops | 06:19 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: what are you trying to achieve with this? | 06:19 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: normaly it askes what i want to do - do i want to ignore it or repair it etc. and which key i have to pres | 06:20 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: but it gives nothing? | 06:21 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: but by this computer not al the tekst is shown up - only the question "what do yoiu want to do?", but not the commants | 06:21 |
| Mrokii | hello. I think the LDM menu is kind of messed up (where it shows me which GUI I want to start). It doesn't show me "Ubuntu" (with Unity) as an option, only "Ubuntu 2D". But if I start that, the launcher-bar on the left appears and compiz seems to be activated. Plus when I click on the Ubuntu-Icon in the launcher bar, nothing happens (no overlay-window opens where I should be able to type something in). | 06:21 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: so i don't know which butten i have to pres. i only remember "i" for "ignore", but i want to repair it | 06:22 |
| darkhalo117 | Any way I can boot to a live cd and disable DRM drivers? | 06:22 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: i have no idea, but if it's not pausing or waiting then it's probably not going to recieve the command (it's worth a shot though) | 06:23 |
| Guido1 | but what is the command i have to enter? | 06:24 |
| murlidhar | hi all while doing apt-get update i get ppa GPG authentication errors ... how can i fix them ? | 06:25 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: but what is the command i have to enter? | 06:25 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: witch letter | 06:26 |
| aeon-ltd | Guido1: i don't know, logically i'd guess 'r' for repair | 06:26 |
| Guido1 | aeon-ltd: sadly not | 06:27 |

| Satish | Hello All, Whenever any wifi AP comes in range, Ubuntu shows a pop-up message for notifying this. How ubuntu knows that, AP is in range ? | 06:30 |
| nastas | Guido1: did you try to press C to skip disk checking? | 06:30 |
| fidel_ | Satish: if it wouldnt you could never join a network in the first place or am i wrong? ;) | 06:30 |
| Guido1 | nastas: no | 06:30 |
| Satish | fidel_, yes. I am more interested to know, how ubuntu deal with it | 06:31 |
| tarelerulz | The big gui / layout change is the only bad thing about Ubuntu 12.04. That its just mean it take more time to get use to things. sound / mic just is nice | 06:32 |
| Guido1 | i wil try soimething | 06:32 |
| Satish | fidel_, I mean, is there any script/daemon running in background. which comes into life as soon as WIFI AP cames in range | 06:32 |
| nastas | Guido1: is ubuntu allow you to press any other key? | 06:33 |
| fidel_ | Satish: not sure - as i am not really using wifi that much. i would assume it is reletated with the network-manager you might use | 06:34 |
| fidel_ | but thats just a wild guess | 06:34 |
| Satish | Is there any way to autoconnect to wifi, if there is any [ with pre-defined credentials ] ? If wifi is absent, then system must stick with ethernet or data card | 06:35 |
| Satish | fidel_, network-manager do the trick. But I want the command line option plus logic/flow behind this | 06:35 |
| fidel_ | Satish: well my laptop autoconnects to its known wireless networks | 06:35 |
| fidel_ | in case you use keyring or similar it will get the credentials from there | 06:36 |
| fidel_ | k | 06:36 |
| Mrokii | Okay, I've narrowed my problem down (with the Unity-Desktop). As soon as I start compiz, the launcher-icon (the Ubuntu-Symbol) doesn't open any overlay-window anymore. If compiz isn't running, the overlay window can be seen. | 06:37 |

| ratz | i face a problem with the path. While in windows it executes as app1.exe in linux it gets executed with dosemu as e:\mnt\win\app\app1.exe and generates and error | 06:50 |
| DasEi | RealEyes: in the sources file, remove the '#' in front of that partner lines, save, do an update/grade | 06:50 |
| CruX| | is it safe to rm -rf /var/cache/* ? | 06:50 |
| ratz | can someone please help me, how do i eleminate the extra path? | 06:50 |

| DarwinSurvivor | the-newsman: almost every linux distro uses sdX for ata/sata drives | 07:15 |

| DarwinSurvivor | the-newsman: how can you have "real ata" in a vm?!? | 07:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: are those dmesg.log and syslog from the /var/log partitions? | 07:17 |
| the-newsman | DarwinSurvivor i did not choose the type of the drives in VM | 07:17 |
| the-newsman | it was automatially selected | 07:17 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, correct.. the syslog is only the last bit of it.. was too big for pastebin | 07:17 |
| linuxuz3r | whats up man | 07:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | the-newsman: you stated (and I quote): i am using real ATA drives | 07:17 |
| DasEi | albech: do you run from live or the issued system ? | 07:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: ok | 07:18 |
| BrianNie | Does anybody faced 3D login problem? I need help.thanks | 07:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !details | BrianNie | 07:18 |
| ubottu | BrianNie: 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 ..." | 07:18 |
| albech | DasEi, i run from my stable 11.10 system partition | 07:18 |
| the-newsman | DarwinSurvivor that what i belived in. my drive is ata. 1 terra bytes. the host is win 7 and the guest is ubuntu | 07:18 |
| albech | DasEi, the issued system crashes too often to troubleshoot from | 07:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: are both the 11.10 and 12.04 installations the same architecture? | 07:19 |
| DasEi | albech: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 07:19 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, yes | 07:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: 64 or 32? | 07:19 |
| DasEi | shall give url for here, albech | 07:19 |
| DasEi | ah, I see, so got you wrong, albech | 07:19 |
| Transisto | Repeat : What's the best way to increase parition size ? I have some problem with gParted | 07:19 |
| albech | DasEi, cant do that from this system | 07:19 |
| Transisto | What's the best way to increase parition size ? I have some problem with gParted | 07:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | the-newsman: then only windows would see the ata drives, ubuntu has no CLUE what actual hardware you are using, it only sees what the vm "emulates" | 07:20 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, 64bit | 07:20 |
| linuxuz3r | can gparted increase partition size | 07:20 |
| DasEi | Transisto: was the drive unmounted (live-system?) else gparted can't work | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | linuxuz3r: 1: Why are you trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 rather than 12.04? 2: Why are you trying to install as UEFI rather than using your firmware's BIOS implementation? | 07:20 |
| DasEi | Transisto: and don't forget to alter fstab accordingly | 07:20 |
| BrianNie | I used ubuntu 12.04. If I login use 3D, then there is nothing appears except the background. And if I use 2D login, I can access the desktop. My computer is dell inspiron 1526 | 07:21 |
| DasEi | !blkid | 07:21 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 07:21 |
| Transisto | Thank you DasEi, I'll have to do it from elsewhere (CD) | 07:21 |
| DasEi | !fstab | 07:21 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 07:21 |
| albech | one interesting observation when the system do crash is that capslock and scroll lock starts blinking on the keyboard | 07:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: you can "pastebinit /media/other_drive/var/log/..." | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | albech: That signifies a kernel panic. | 07:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: if the caps-lock key is blinking that is a kernel crash! | 07:21 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, shouldnt there be something in the kern log then? | 07:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: did you use a usb or cd for the install? | 07:22 |
| DasEi | albech: right, mount the issued partition, then pastebinit that log(s) | 07:22 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, CD | 07:22 |
| === robert_ is now known as Guest16310 | ||
| DasEi | Transisto: I use usb-installs mostly for such | 07:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: can you boot off the cd and run the "check disk for errors" option. feel free to use another computer if you have one | 07:22 |
| DasEi | Transisto: or right away gparted live cd | 07:23 |
| DasEi | .. on usb | 07:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: the *may* be something in the kernel log, but only if the kernel was able to write one before boing belly-up | 07:23 |
| Transisto | DasEi : Fstab, that is, even if the partition stay at the same order ? | 07:23 |

| linuxuz3r | BrianNie, are you using gnome or kde or something else | 07:25 |

| snapdata | I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. On Windows my dedicated sound card (Xonar DX) had the "Wave out" and "Stereo mix" options that allow you to broadcast the audio being process by your sound card (ie. what comes out of your speakers) as a microphone output. I've been googling for a while and all I've figured out is how to record it with Audacity, which isn't really what I need. Does anyone have any tips/ideas? | 07:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: you don't need a 64 bit machine to run the check I don't think | 07:27 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 07:27 |
| linuxuz3r | and you use gnome | 07:27 |
| snapdata | I'd greatly appreciate any input. Thank you. | 07:27 |
| BrianNie | if i chose 3d, then nothing can appear | 07:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: can you run "sudo fsck /dev/sda2"? You'll need to unmount it first | 07:27 |
| BrianNie | I can just use 2d, then I can access the desktop | 07:27 |
| linuxuz3r | BrianNie, try this create a new user when you log in 2d then log on to 3d with the new user account | 07:28 |
| the-newsman | DarwinSurvivor how to know the storage names ? | 07:28 |
| BrianNie | ok. let me try | 07:28 |
| === Phaiax_ is now known as Phaiax | ||
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, /dev/sda2: clean, 262481/3662848 files, 1646227/14649271 blocks | 07:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | the-newsman: how do *I* know them, or how can *you* find them? | 07:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: hmm, ok | 07:29 |
| the-newsman | i do not think there is differene between knowing and finding. however lets say find them | 07:29 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, i see those ext4 orphans errors in the syslog. | 07:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | the-newsman: usually the easiest way to list all connected hard-drives is "ls /dev/hd* /dev/sd*" | 07:30 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: see above, sudo fdisk -l | 07:30 |
| the-newsman | DasEi it worked fine. it showed i am using sd* | 07:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: how old is the hdd? | 07:31 |
| the-newsman | but i dunno if there is other drives. | 07:31 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: so can draw back troops again ;) | 07:31 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, hmm im not really sure.. id guess 2-3 years | 07:32 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: vbox ? | 07:32 |
| the-newsman | VMWARE | 07:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: ok | 07:32 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, they in a raid0 | 07:32 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: either way, by default one cd and one hd, floppy sometimes, but you set that in the -not running- vm | 07:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: wait, you have a raid?!? | 07:33 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, yes, there is a raid0 configured in the bios | 07:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: future reference: having a raid array is an *important* thing to mention! | 07:33 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, sorrr | 07:33 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, sorry | 07:33 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: install gnome-device-manager for a non-tech-gui or install hwinfo and run as root to get grey hairs :) | 07:34 |
| the-newsman | DasEi can i redue the parition size without losing the installed file ? | 07:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: ok, so is sda2 a real partition, or the raided combination of 2 other partitions/hdds? | 07:34 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: I don't understand .. you want to decrease the virtual hd ? | 07:34 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, every second installation of ubuntu have been running on that partition with no problems.. i always have a production system running and then the next one in line.. | 07:34 |
| the-newsman | i want to split the allocated harddisk size which is 20 g to 15 and 5 drives | 07:35 |
| === totesmuh1oats is now known as totesmuhgoats | ||
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, its a raid0 partition so its running on one partition. | 07:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | please create a pastebin with a list of each drive's partitions and which ones are paired up which ones in the raid | 07:35 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, its not a software raid within ubuntu.. | 07:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: you do know that if either drive in a raid0 dies, you lose EVERYTHING right? | 07:36 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, sorry.. its a raid1 | 07:36 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: df -h in your vm shows you usage of current virtual hd, if that is enough, close machine and use the tools provided by vmware (read their faq's, seek for support there), yes for sure possible | 07:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: ok, so you have 2 hdd's raided in raid0 at the bios level that appear as only sda to ubuntu. that raided virtual drive is then split into multiple partitions. is that correct? | 07:37 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, replicated data on 2 disks | 07:37 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, correct | 07:37 |
| cocolos | is there a way of setting the watchdog timer to a longer delay? | 07:37 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, except its raid1 and not raid0 | 07:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: ok | 07:37 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, confused the two | 07:37 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: if it's (and from your questions I assume so) it's a fresh install, reinstall might be less of hassle | 07:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: does your bios support smart-checking each drive individually? If one is starting to fail and the bios isn't handling it properly, it could be causing problems if those sectors happen to be where the other ubuntu installation is | 07:38 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, im bot sure if it supports that | 07:38 |
| albech | DarwinSurvivor, i can check | 07:38 |
| the-newsman | DasEi but i think dividing the harddisk as 2 partitions is something inside the linux itself and not related to the vmware. yes ? | 07:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | albech: that would be a good idea. since you are using hardware-raid, there is no way for ubuntu to check the stability of the drives unless it supports the hardware raid's error-report interface | 07:39 |
| alkisg | Hi, grub in 12.04 won't work for me (it worked in 10.04), is there another boot loader I could use? | 07:40 |

| mobius420 | argh... I am unable to view my website while I am on my home network | 07:42 |
| mobius420 | my webserver and workstation are on the same LAN | 07:42 |
| alkisg | appi_uppi: it has problems reading my hard drive, it's not an installation problem, maybe something with my hardware or with my partitions | 07:42 |
| appi_uppi | alkisg: i see | 07:42 |
| alkisg | appi_uppi: I can netboot the client with the same parameters that grub uses locally | 07:42 |
| mobius420 | I edited my hosts file to bind the webserver to it's LAN ip | 07:42 |
| alkisg | Is LILO still in a working state? | 07:43 |
| mobius420 | now I can see my website's front page but if I try to view the forums it appears all broken or will not load at all | 07:43 |
| the-newsman | DasEi | 07:43 |
| the-newsman | DasEi but i think dividing the harddisk as 2 partitions is something inside the linux itself and not related to the vmware. yes ? | 07:43 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: lil more complicated, first need a live(virtualized) system to acces the virtual hd, then afterwards use vmw to do the actual splitting, see my tip above | 07:45 |
| BrianNie | Hi, I tried add a new user. But the problem is same. | 07:45 |
| DasEi | 1) partitoning/resizing 2) splitting | 07:45 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: if it's (and from your questions I assume so) it's a fresh install, reinstall might be less of hassle | 07:46 |
| the-newsman | DasEi yes fresh installation however i am doing that to just pratice. it seems i asked hard mission not for a beginner | 07:46 |
| BrianNie | when I login , there are 4 choices: Recovery Console,Ubuntu,Ubuntu 2D and user defined session. I can just use Ubuntu 2D session. | 07:47 |
| ajf | So | 07:47 |
| ajf | I am on 12.04 | 07:47 |
| DasEi | the-newsman: it's fine and I'm getting tired, well much of it you can find on the FAQ of the apps you use | 07:47 |
| ajf | But my notifications area(?) at top-right of screen doesn't show app icons | 07:47 |
| ajf | No Skype icon for instance | 07:47 |
| BrianNie | If I choose Ubuntu, then nothing can appear | 07:47 |
| ajf | just messaging, wifi, sound, clock, user, power | 07:48 |
| ajf | according to my friend this is not normal | 07:48 |

| HowDoI | Hi, my brand new Ubuntu install has frequent hard lockups with Ivy Bridge Intel i5-3570 using the built-in HD4000 graphics. I can't find any information on this issue... | 08:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !irc | manny550 | 08:09 |
| ubottu | manny550: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 08:09 |
| SuSEno | :_D | 08:09 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: are you pressing alt+tab when it happens? | 08:09 |
| manny550 | ok | 08:09 |
| HowDoI | No, I'm just viewing webpages or a music app when it happens. Even active SSH connections time out when the crash occurs | 08:10 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: well, 12.04 is a pretty recent release, so. I suggest you run everything in terminals and check if any error messages pop up, try to pay attention to what you do just before it happens | 08:10 |
| ome | Does ubuntu come with a preinstalled alternative to sysv-rc-conf or sysvconfig ? | 08:11 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: if it turns out to be seemingly random, contact someone through a bug report for in-depth investigation | 08:11 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: or ubuntuforums :) | 08:11 |
| manny550 | ok | 08:11 |
| manny550 | so now that I'm official I can ask my question lol | 08:11 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, it almost always happens when, for example, viewing spinning Internet space ships at this site: http://www.eveonline.com/universe/spaceships/ | 08:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HowDoI: I'd also *highly* recommend running the "check this disk for defects" option when booting from the cd or usb you used to install. that will tell you if your install media was corrupted | 08:11 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: are you sure your hardware is meant to handle it?:D | 08:12 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: yeah, should have mentioned that too lol. If it isn't a problem, do a reinstall with a new install usb/CD | 08:12 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: as for the spaceships, my sucky computer with nvidia running on a livecd handles it fine | 08:13 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, This same problem happened with fresh install from USB stick and with upgrade from 10.04 via system-update | 08:13 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: is there any sincere need for "the latest"?;) | 08:14 |
| manny550 | So uh my friend caught something fierce in his Windows laptop and it won't startup so I figured of installing Ubuntu onto my External Hard drive to mount his hard disk and extract his files that he needs however Ubuntu did not install onto my External Hard Drive correctly even through correct methods so now I need to delete the stuff that Ubuntu created on my External so I can return it back to normal but in order to do that I need to log | 08:14 |
| manny550 | in as the Root User, can anyone help me with this? | 08:14 |
| ikonia | manny550: you don't need to login as the root user | 08:14 |
| manny550 | ikonia: how do I get around this? | 08:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | manny550: why not just use the live-cd to perform the recovery and dump everything ONTO the external harddrive? | 08:15 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, "the latest" is the hardware I own. The only other option is an Nvidia 8400GS, which has a completely different set of bugs | 08:15 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: if not, install one ubuntu with something you know will work, and another with the 12.04 that is causing trouble, and while you run freely on your 11.10 or whatever it is before 12.04, you can in a relaxed manner figure out what's up with 12.04:P | 08:15 |
| ikonia | manny550: what is your end goal? what do you want to do ? | 08:15 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: I meant software-wise:) | 08:15 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: If there is no real need for 12.04 I suggest the above, makes things so much easier when you have in-depth-no-crash-please work to do | 08:16 |
| manny550 | ikonia: my end goal to one return my External back to normal and two Get the things out of my friends laptop that he needs but first his laptop doesn't run recovery that's why I went to this drastic measure. I don't know what he did but he caught something fierce of a virus | 08:16 |
| ikonia | manny550: ok, so do you want help recovering his files ? | 08:17 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: however, if you've never had dual-boot options done in the past, that could present other problems. If so, just go with a 11.10 until some time has passed for the most important 12.04 updates have arrived | 08:17 |
| manny550 | ikonia: I want help with that and returning my external hard drive back to normal | 08:17 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, The only other acceptable option to is to go back to 10.04, which now doesn't boot after installing 12.04 to another drive | 08:17 |
| ikonia | manny550: back to normal ? what's not normal about it ? | 08:17 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: have you never partitioned a hard disk before?:) | 08:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | manny550: the install cd is also a live-cd that is VERY useful for recovering data. just boot your friends computer with the live-cd, then plug in the external HDD and copy his files over | 08:18 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, I've partitioned disks before. I installed 12.04 on a brand new SSD which I've tested for errors. The old HDD with Lucid on it no longer boots | 08:18 |
| mobius420 | does anyone know how to enable NAT loopback on a q1000z ADSL router? | 08:18 |
| mobius420 | I am starting to think it is not even possibler | 08:18 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: do some reinstalls and get one functional and one "unsure" install going, is the bottom line here I think while you wait for some of the core updates | 08:19 |
| manny550 | ikonia: give me a second to test something | 08:19 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, I'd much rather get 12.04 working on my current hardware, but it crashes so hard that I can't get any error messages from it to report bugs | 08:19 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||

| SuSEno | does IcedTea Plugin 1.2 only works for Java 6 ? | 08:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | PlayX: sorry, I'm not familiar with ffmpeg, but there may be an option to simply have ffmpeg grab both inputs and do the mixing itself (instead of getting pulse to do it) | 08:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !java | SuSEno | 08:28 |
| ubottu | SuSEno: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 08:28 |

| alankila | SuSEno: I imagine it's called icedtea6-plugin, install icedtea-7-plugin instead | 08:29 |
| lindsay | I have an hp pavillion dv4-1428dx with no mic support in Ubuntu 12.04. Can anyone help me? | 08:30 |
| SuSEno | do I need to uninstall 'icedtea-plugin' ? | 08:30 |
| ajf | lindsay: Do you have sound? | 08:30 |
| lindsay | ajf, Yeah I have sound and everything else works great | 08:31 |
| PlayX | maybe i buy a 4 port hardware mixer. then plug it in line in and it is good ;-) then i can record all i want | 08:31 |
| ajf | hmm | 08:31 |
| ajf | go into audio settings | 08:31 |
| lindsay | ajf, ok | 08:32 |
| ajf | like, click the speaker icon then sound settings | 08:32 |
| ajf | you might have several sound inputs, might need to boost mic volume | 08:32 |
| ajf | some mics are very weak | 08:32 |
| manny550 | ikonia: so in the meantime I'm actually repairing my power jack in my gateway laptop just waiting on my soldering supplies. | 08:32 |
| lindsay | ajf, well it lists the mic in there | 08:32 |
| ajf | click on it | 08:32 |
| PlayX | or i buy a third sound card | 08:32 |
| ajf | try boosting the volume | 08:33 |
| ajf | make sure it's the default mix | 08:33 |

| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, Nice optimism, but I've seen Bryce Harrington's responses to past bugs about Intel graphics. Most of the bugs that affected me in past releases never got fixed. I had to buy a separate video card to have a stable system, and now the drivers for that in 12.04 are also causing problems. | 08:33 |
| lindsay | ajf, well it's selected, not sure if it's the default. but the little bar doesn't move when I speak | 08:34 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: hmm, if you do consider yourself this unlucky, and insist on using ubuntu, it would be sensible to pay attention to what video cards and other hardware ubuntu easily works with and get a hold of some of that;) | 08:34 |

| manny550 | ikonia: oh also I'm having trouble with my flash in Ubuntu it doesn't play like 90% of the videos on youtube I don't know what's up with it | 08:36 |
| ikonia | manny550: how did you install it ? | 08:37 |
| manny550 | ikonia: software center | 08:37 |
| ikonia | manny550: should be fine (or as good as it could be) from that source | 08:37 |
| manny550 | ikonia: ah | 08:37 |
| ikonia | manny550: being honest, there are a lot of problems with flash on linux, it's a hard pill to swallow | 08:38 |
| robertzaccour | in windows sound recording quality is perfect, but is horribly staticy in ubuntu. Is there an easy fix? | 08:38 |
| manny550 | ikonia: oh, and it probably doesn't help that every bit of hardware on my desktop that's running Ubuntu is from 04 | 08:38 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, I needed new hardware and the newest processors had just come out. I don't even use a discrete $25 graphics card if I can help it. I hardly call that "advanced gear". I just want to see where or IF the bugs I'm having have been reported, or if I should RMA my new components | 08:39 |
| ikonia | manny550: really doesn't matter | 08:39 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: well if google makes you none-the-wiser you're pretty stuck my friend. Or dig deeper. Since no one has struck a chord with your problem I suppose no one here has experienced it either:/ | 08:39 |

| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, Ok, then my question shifts to a more general one: How do I report a bug in a situation where I can't run any commands or gather any data about the crash when it happens? | 08:40 |

| linuxfreaker | MonkeyDust: Any idea where i need to seek for help | 10:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | linuxfreaker: if there was a fix release for Maverick, the fix would already be fully integrated into Natty so applying the patch would be pointless since it would already be applied | 10:02 |

| Khanna_Param | Hi DarwinSurvivor, this is the first time after installing Ubuntu i have tried to use the wired. wireless works fine | 10:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Khanna_Param: so this is the first time you've used ubuntu on this machine? | 10:14 |
| Khanna_Param | yes | 10:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Khanna_Param: ok, it sounds like the r8169 driver (which is the one you are currently using) was very buggy in pre-12.04 releases. if this is a fresh install, you may have more luck by installing 12.04 instead | 10:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Khanna_Param: otherwise you may need to custom-compile the previous ethernet driver (r8168) which is not very hard but must be done after each kernel upgrade | 10:15 |

| MonkeyDust | kapz explore 'login settings' | 10:20 |
| MarKsaitis | its just misleading for the first starters who dont know it | 10:20 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: update the community docs then | 10:21 |
| MarKsaitis | ikonia, unfortunatelly I am just the user. There should be easier mechanisms in the doc pages where users can click like or dislike on some doc sections or have options like "dotn apply anymore" whatever.... so that everybody would be able to see a bigger picture. It seems that current methods dont crack the mustard well enough | 10:22 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: it's community documentation, you can maintain it if you see improvements | 10:23 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: moaning about it won't get anything done, especially if you can see a problem, fix it | 10:23 |
| MarKsaitis | ikonia, I can see the problem, but I cant see the resolution because the reason I follow these docs is so I know how do configure it properly. | 10:24 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: if you create a wiki account you can login and update the docs to fix any issues you see | 10:24 |
| MarKsaitis | anyways, canonical should do that | 10:24 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: it's community docs, as you pointed out, not canonical docs | 10:25 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: worth looking in the server guides in https://help.ubuntu.com | 10:25 |
| MarKsaitis | I barelly have time to config stuff for myself :) | 10:25 |
| MarKsaitis | ikonia, canonical doesnt have doc for openldap precise. And anyways, that old community crap should not be called official by any chance, dunno who is responsible for that | 10:25 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: no-one is responsible for that | 10:26 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: canonical doesn't have a document, and you don't like the community doc and you are unwilling to fix it, so you need to find another document outside of ubuntu that you do like. | 10:26 |

| meco | I moved the swapfile to the NTFS partition and now CPU usage seems very high. And VLC crashes when I try and play a video. Is there a conection? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | meco: putting swap on ntfs is not a good idea | 10:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MarKsaitis: if the server guide has better information, consider moving/copying some of the relevant parts over to the community docs or at least putting a note below the outdated sections with a link to the server docs | 10:30 |
| meco | ok... I figure.. | 10:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: does the problem go away if you run "sudo swapoff"? | 10:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: if so, then swap is most likely to blame | 10:31 |
| === Robert_ is now known as Guest75589 | ||
| ome | no words of wisdom for me ? | 10:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ome: you want to change from full encryption to no encryption? | 10:32 |

| DarwinSurvivor | and by "ubuntu mini" you mean "ubuntu minimal installer"? | 10:32 |
| meco | Darwin4Ever: No, actually it remained. VLC crashed with a segfault | 10:33 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor even | 10:33 |
| ome | DarwinSurvivor: yes. | 10:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: did you restart vlc after running swapoff? if not, it probably just moved already-corrupted memory back into main RAM | 10:33 |
| sirriffsalot | I'm on a livecd and deleted some files inside my actual install by accident, where do they go by default? | 10:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ome: if it's a fresh install, the fastest method is most likely to just re-run the installer | 10:33 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: It was restarted, yes. | 10:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: please pastebin the output of "free -m" | 10:34 |
| ome | DarwinSurvivor: well, I have done some customization and installed extra packages and tools. but even for the sake of learning I would like to be pointed to a direction where I can remove the encryption. | 10:35 |
| sudo | Hello World! | 10:35 |

| meco | DarwinSurvivor: http://pastebin.com/N373CUb6 | 10:38 |
| ome | DarwinSurvivor: unless I really need GUI -- which is very rare --, I run virtualmachines headless and SSH into them. and having an encrypted system makes it imposible unless I use something like dropbear. | 10:38 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: But I dont want to compile the new kernel after installation from DVD/CD but I need to create a new custom ISO with linux 3.0 | 10:38 |
| ome | So I thought I would just decrypt the system and 'fix it | 10:38 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: ubuntu comes with a 3.X kernel | 10:39 |
| ome | and learn more about encryption. | 10:39 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: so you don't need to compile a kernel | 10:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: hmm, it hard to tell how much was swapped on before. if you had used 500MB of 4GB, then i'd dismiss it. | 10:39 |

Does this mean I got no admin user? I got asked for a password during installation though. | 10:39 |
| sirriffsalot | I'm on a livecd and deleted some files inside my actual install by accident, where do they go by default? :P | 10:39 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: upgrade to a current ubuntu version | 10:39 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: then you have no need to do anything | 10:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: at this point, i'd recommend permanently disabling the ntfs swap and rebooting in case any system stuff got corrupted in it | 10:39 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: I'll do that | 10:40 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: I need to run Ubuntu 11.04 on UEFI mode ..and issue could be due to old kernel. New kernel supports that | 10:40 |

| meco | DarwinSurvivor: Since I have both partin and file swap currently... | 10:43 |
| meco | partition | 10:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ome: it's probably faster and easier to reinstall. configs are fairly easy to back up and you can backup the list of installed apps with "dpkg –get-selections > mypackages.txt" and then get them back with "sudo dpkg –set-selections < mypackages.t; sudo apt dselect-upgrade" | 10:43 |
| ome | DarwinSurvivor: I guess I will do that. | 10:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: your "free -m" output showed that you no longer had anythin in swap, but it did show that swap did exist | 10:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: either way, swapfile on ntfs is a *bad* idea. in fact, swap on any external device is bad unless you can *guaratee* it won't get unpluged before being swapped off (and usb is WAY to slow for swap anyways) | 10:45 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: I'm unable to delete the swapfile on the NTFS partition...! | 10:46 |

| meco | DarwinSurvivor: sudo rm swapfile | 10:47 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: sorry, I disagree | 10:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | meco: make sure you take it out of your fstab as well or ubuntu will try loading a non-existant swap file! | 10:47 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: Already did that! | 10:48 |
| soa2ii | DarkStar1: Though it looks like dpkg-reconfigure creates a HDB database and does not use this new ldif based cn=config method? | 10:48 |
| soa2ii | Or do I get this wrong? | 10:48 |
| meco | DarwinSurvivor: I guess I'll reboot. Maybe I can delete the unused swapfile then. | 10:48 |
| DarkStar1 | soa2ii: you will need to re-populate after the re-configure | 10:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ikonia: did linuxfreaker says something after "I need to run Ubuntu 11...."? I've had a funny feeling I'm missing messages every so often.... | 10:49 |

| linuxfreaker | DarwinSurvivor: 11.04 has 2.6.x kernel | 11:02 |
| linuxfreaker | DarwinSurvivor: If it works ..then my idea was to build Natty with custom kerneled-Ubuntu Natty | 11:03 |

| ubottu | 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 | 11:09 |

| DarwinSurvivor | drvanon: i'm not sure, ram is just one of the most common things. what type of hardware are you running on (quad-core, desktop, netbook, dual-core, atom, etc)? | 11:15 |

| DarwinSurvivor | olividir: yes | 11:16 |
| olividir | sorry, bit of noob, but I was upgrading to 12.04 from 11.10 and was half way through when my comp got disconnected from the power | 11:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | drvanon: can you install pastebinit "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" and then run "top | pastebinit"? | 11:18 |
| olividir | now I cant upgrade to 12.04 and the upgrade manager asks me to use part upgrade even if it does not work... any idea what I can do? | 11:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | olividir: please pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) the entire terminal session (or the error message if you are using a GUI) | 11:19 |
| Dr_willis | olividir, safest thing would be to backup yoyur imporntant files and do a clean install. but the system might be fixable. Id suggest backing up stuff in case its not. | 11:19 |

| plm | I would like alt+tab show just all windows, and not group its when is the same application. How I do that? | 11:21 |
| drvanon | DarwinSurvivor, is that a problem? | 11:21 |
| Dr_willis | plm, perhaps check the ccsm tool and its settings/plugins. | 11:21 |
| fidel_ | DarwinSurvivor: well i doubt unity is the matching package as it affects gnome-shell here. not using unity at all | 11:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | drvanon: were those 3 lines the only output? | 11:22 |
| olividir | DarwinSurvivor: If I select partial upgrade it says "cant upgrade, An upgrade from 'precise' to 'oneiric' is not supported with this tool | 11:22 |
| plm | Dr_willis: yes. In this moment I'm with ccsm opened, but I not found the option for that. Could you help me? | 11:22 |
| drvanon | DarwinSurvivor, yes | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | plm, i have no idea how 'gnome's alt-tab' is differnt . so not really | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | i sort of like how unity does the alt-tab stuff. | 11:22 |
| drvanon | DarwinSurvivor, is that the only thing i can do? | 11:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | drvanon: do you have any PPA's installed? | 11:23 |
| plm | Dr_willis: gnome is just a example. I want not groups (in same applications) in alt+tab | 11:23 |
| railsraider | how can i check for a possible d-dos attack? | 11:23 |
| drvanon | DarwinSurvivor, a what? | 11:23 |
| Dr_willis | plm, perhaps check askubuntu.com or the forums or the webupd page for tweaking the alt-tab. or explore the differnt alt-tab altenatives in ccsm. | 11:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | drvanon: ok, lets start with step 1. what version (11.04, 11.10, 12.04) are you running? | 11:23 |
| olividir | DarwinSurvivor: The parts I skipped " This can be cuased by : 1 Aprevious upgrade wich didnt complete. 2 Problems with some of the installed software. 3 Unofficial software packages not provided by ubuntu. 4 Normal changes of a pre-release version of ubuntu" | 11:23 |
| drvanon | 12.04 | 11:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | drvanon: alright, can you please run "sudo apt-get update" and tell me if there are any errors (if there are, copy/paste them to paste.ubuntu.com) | 11:24 |
| olividir | DarwinSurvivor: So far I have chosen close instead of partial upgrade, cause that way I can still upgrade somethings | 11:24 |
| railsraider | is there any way to see from the logs if there was an attack? | 11:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | drvanon: actually, just paste the entire output to paste.ubuntu.com ! | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | railsraider, the logwatch program is handy tool to summarize log data | 11:25 |
| plm | Dr_willis: ok | 11:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | olividir: if "partial upgrade" is an offered solution, chose it. | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | and hope it works.. ;) | 11:25 |
| olividir | DarwinSurvivor: but it can complete | 11:26 |

| hays | DarwinSurvivor: 12.04. I just used apt-get update/upgrade | 11:52 |
| JohnnyricoMC | try apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hays then you are already running the most recent version. the next will be 12.04 and it is still in VERY early alpha (even *I* won't try installing that) | 11:52 |
| olividir | DarwinSurvivor: the partial upgrade works now, and it is running :D:D | 11:52 |

| Nobby | Hi guys | 12:01 |
| snapdata | On Windows my sound card (Xonar DX) has a Wave Out 'input' device that can be used as a microphone to playback whatever's being transmitted to the Line Out. This is not available in Ubuntu. After many hours on Google and a few inquiries here I have yielded no results - not even a hint at whether or not it can be done. If anyone has any information they can share I would be very grateful. | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | a microphone to playback... err.. you mean it echos out whatver the mic is hearing? | 12:02 |
| Socrate | After 12.04 installation grub2 doesn't show up during the boot process. I get only a purple screen. I tried to reinstall grub through grub-install and then give the update-grub command. However the situation stays the same | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | Socrate, but the system boots? | 12:02 |
| kandinski | dudes, what is a process called whoopsie doing in my ubuntu? | 12:02 |
| Socrate | Dr_willis, yes perfectly | 12:02 |
| kandinski | I have no x right now, trying to diagnose it, run htop, find whoopsie | 12:03 |
| snapdata | No, Dr_willis, say for example I'm talking with a friend on Skype and want to play an audio file for them. I would simply change my input to Wave Out and open the audio file in Windows Media Player. | 12:03 |
| marsfligth | DarwinSurvivor: seen that you are expert and kind, I'd ask you another question about the 3,4 GB barrier in Intel 32 bit architecture. What does Linux 32-bit when works on a pc with 8 GB for instance? Is it able to manage all the 8 GB or, it uses only the quantity under the 3/3,4 barrier? Thank you for the patient | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | Socrate, theres options in /etc/default/grub to set the differnt res/modes and even set a old-fashioned grub text menu - that may show up | 12:03 |
| Socrate | however i'm planning a double boot with windows and having grub "hidden" isn't good | 12:03 |
| stefg | Socrate: The 'official' method of intercepting grub during timeout is holding <left shift>. You might want to modify /etc/default(grub if you want a visible timeout | 12:03 |
| snapdata | Dr_willis: essentially the same as taking an auxiliary cable and plugging my "Line Out" into my Microphone jack. | 12:04 |
| Dr_willis | snapdata, the various pulse audio tools. and/or jackd can do fancy tricks like that. I belive creative called such a feature 'what you hear' in their windows tools. | 12:04 |
| Socrate | stefg, i tried with the left shift and infact i get "Grub Loading", however just after that the purple screen show up | 12:04 |
| Socrate | Dr_willis, i'll try to set my monitor resolution | 12:05 |
| Socrate | Dr_willis, thank you | 12:05 |
| Dr_willis | Socrate, it could be grub is using some res the monitor cant handle. - i always set mine to low res text mode. | 12:05 |
| Nobby | why can't i find Sun java in the software center of 12.04? | 12:05 |
| Dr_willis | !java | Nobby | 12:05 |
| ubottu | Nobby: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 12:05 |
| snapdata | Dr_willis: I was actually using jackd for about an hour trying to figure out how it worked. The documentation provided no insight for someone with little expertise nor did any of the 'tutorials' I found that pertained exclusively to audacity/onboard audio and could not be adapted in any way that I know of. | 12:05 |
| stefg | Socrate: nvidia card? these tend to have problems with reso's over 800x600 in grub | 12:05 |
| Dr_willis | Nobby, because oracle changed the licenses | 12:05 |
| Strav` | Hi. Anyone here having troubles with iwlwifi on 12.04? | 12:06 |
| Nobby | ah.. thanks! | 12:06 |
| Socrate | stefg, ati card a mobility 5850. However i got the same issue with both opensource drivers or fglrx | 12:06 |
| snapdata | Dr_willis, thank you for the information though. I appreciate it. | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | snapdata, jackd is complex. ive only toyed with it. you may want to check the askubuntu.com site to see if anoyne has a guide on 'playing music through skype' if skype is what you plan on doing with it. | 12:06 |
| gwelter | marsfligth: Linux 32-bit can manage up to 64 GB if the kernel use the PAE functionality of the hardware. But there are still limitations like 2GB per process | 12:07 |
| Socrate | stefg, however thank you first i'll try to set a proper resolution | 12:07 |
| snapdata | Dr_willis, alright. Thank you very much! | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | snapdata, if using webcam and web-cam type chats. the 'webcamstudio' program (not in the repos i think) can let you do some amazeing tricks with a webcam, | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | not sure if it works with skype properly or not. | 12:07 |
| gwelter | marsfligth: unless you have specific requirements I would recommend 64-bit if the hardware supports it, even if you have 4 GB or less | 12:08 |
| Nobby | its messing with my minecraft :P | 12:08 |
| snapdata | Dr_willis, I'll check it out, although it's not quite what I was looking for. None-the-less it's relieving. | 12:08 |
| Dr_willis | snapdata, ive used webcamstudio to 'reroute' videos and stuff to my webcam (well it emulates a webcam) so people in chat rooms see videos, or other funny things i send | 12:09 |
| marsfligth | gwelter: thenks for the suggestion. I find strange, that on download page, Ubuntu suggests the 3 bit. I think that a lot of people are using the wrong OS version | 12:09 |
| snapdata | Dr_willis, what about audio? | 12:10 |
| gwelter | marsfligth: yes, apparantly they decided 32 bit would be a safe bet | 12:10 |
| marsfligth | **sorry not 3 bits, but 32-bit | 12:10 |
| Dr_willis | snapdata, it has all sorts of plugins and tricks. | 12:10 |

| snapdata | Dr_willis, ah, okay. Sounds great. I'm checking it out now. | 12:11 |
| meraj | i installed skype in ubuntu bt nt able to get any skype option on my pc,so can u tell me ,how to get chat option? | 12:12 |
| gwelter | marsfligth: although 64 bit software might take up a little more memory, there are slight speed gains due to double number of cpu registers and security can be enhanced due to the capabilities of the processor | 12:12 |
| bcuraboy | hi.my screen goes black after a while of non use.i had installed the xscrensaver but i've removed it.the energy settings are ok | 12:12 |

| meraj | i installed skype in ubuntu bt nt able to get any skype option on my pc,so can u tell me ,how to get chat option? | 12:13 |

| ubottu | meraj: 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/ | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | meraj, i havent used skype in years. | 12:14 |
| aJynks | dose anyone use code:blocks here? | 12:14 |
| bricktea | !notunity | 12:14 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:14 |
| aJynks | I have installed a recent SVN form the Pegui ppa .. but the contrib-plugins did not install.. anyone know how to install them? | 12:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | marsfligth: I don't know, I haven't run 32 bit on high-ram computers myself. The only 32-bit machines I work on are netbooks with 2G or less | 12:15 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm. I have to wonder why the 'Lord Of Ultima' Game takes so long to install when aparently its just a link to a web-based game.. | 12:16 |
| meraj | i installed skype in ubuntu bt nt able to get any skype option on my pc,so can u tell me ,how to get chat option? | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | meraj, you could at least correct your spelling and puncation and be more clear if you are going to repeate every 30 sec. ;) | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | 'not able to get any skype option' means what exactly? | 12:17 |
| Dr_willis | and Skype on Linux is Not as featured as the windows version. | 12:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bcuraboy: did you log out and back in after removing xscreensaver? | 12:18 |
| skramer_ | meraj: You need to start skype first, else you will not be able to chat using Skype | 12:18 |

| railsraider | is there a way to make xfs partition on a live server with one partition on it? | 12:20 |
| marsfligth | Dr_willis: thanks for answering, but, I don' think that is an idiot point. to choose the right OS version it is the base, I think. so, I hope that Ubuntu makes a note close to the download button, that advise people with more than 3 GB of memory in total (RAM + video adapter), choose the 64-bit for a better Ubuntu experience. Do you agree? | 12:20 |
| Dr_willis | marsfligth, they are 'idiot proofing' not an idiot point... | 12:20 |
| marsfligth | Dr_willis: sorry, I'w wrong | 12:21 |
| Dr_willis | marsfligth, most of the chats on the topic agree that they should put forthe the effort to 'educate' the users - but people seem to get scared by 'techy terms and stuff like that' | 12:21 |
| gwelter | marsfligth: what a about: 32 bit cpus with more than 3 GB? it is possible... | 12:22 |
| Dr_willis | The Move to a PAE kernel by default is also a supriseing change in the policy. | 12:22 |
| Dr_willis | that makes the 'you got lots of ram - be sure to get 64bit' a bit of a less requirement. | 12:22 |
| Dr_willis | but i still suggest using 64bit os on your 64bit hardware | 12:23 |
| gwelter | Dr_willis: yes, that was more controversional, but they didn't remove the non-pae, did they? | 12:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bcuraboy: can you create a new user account and try logging in with that and see if the problem persists? that will tell us if it's a system-wide or user-specific issue | 12:23 |
| Dr_willis | gwelter, the default installer for ubuntu is pae. the lubuntu cd - uses non-pae it seems. | 12:23 |
| Dr_willis | gwelter, theres unofficial ubuntu-non-pae cds out also. | 12:23 |
| gwelter | Dr_willis: hmm, only lubuntu? | 12:23 |
| Dr_willis | gwelter, just skimmed an artical on it on webupd8 blog site. or omgubuntu! | 12:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | weird, usually the only difference between fresh ubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu/kubuntu is which DE packages are installed. very weird for the kernel to be modified.... | 12:25 |
| gwelter | Dr_willis: i'll have a go in a few days on a non-pae laptop and see if ubuntu will install/run | 12:25 |

| gwelter | Dr_willis: thanks for the link | 12:26 |
| Dr_willis | DarwinSurvivor, it could be they come with both.. the artical is a little vague ---> "You can also install Xubuntu or Lubuntu since both come with non-PAE Linux kernels," | 12:26 |
| marsfligth | Dr_willis: I'll use 64, absolutely. i was just speaking about the confusion that a new user finds when is choosing what to download. to me, close to the download button, should be a hyperlink or a note, that in few words helps the new Ubuntu user to choose for the better | 12:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | marsfligth: the problem is that a lot of users don't even know the difference between ram and hard drives | 12:27 |
| gwelter | marsfligth: users who don't have a clue about their hardware, will have the highest chance of a working system with 32 bit | 12:27 |
| Dr_willis | marsfligth, with that logic everything would have 1000+ notes. :) and the company is trying harder and harder to make things as simple.. BEST would be for the installer to decide. :) but the move to pae-kernel makes it less of an actual issue. | 12:27 |
| skramer_ | meraj: press Alt+F2 and type skype. Skype window should open & you have to give your skype user name and password to connect | 12:27 |
| OerHeks | buddha_, zenix is not ubuntu. seek support in a zenix irc channel. | 12:27 |

| buddha_ | how do i get to zenix irc channel? | 12:29 |
| dlentz | BrianNie, what version of the AMD driver? | 12:29 |
| marsfligth | Dr_willis: should be interesting to put a java applet or some exe to check the system before to download, assuming that the new users come from m$. asus has something like that in his driver download page | 12:29 |
| Dr_willis | buddha_, the zenix homepage may suggest some. | 12:29 |
| AgentSpock | RF interfacing | 12:29 |
| fidel_ | AgentSpock: maybe #ubuntustudio for the audio-section | 12:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | buddha_: please use zenix's support forum for help with zenix. since zenix is *not* ubuntu, we will be unable to help you here | 12:31 |
| meraj | skramer: thax | 12:31 |
| BrianNie | My computer is DELL inspiron 1526 and the VGA card is X1200. The card is not supported in the new driver. | 12:31 |
| gwelter | marsfligth: actually, the vmware esxi installer disc (atleast on v4.0) did a check for a 64 bit capable cpu, so it can be done | 12:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | buddha_: their forums http://forums.zenix-os.net/ they also have a channel at #zenix, but it looks pretty empty (i'd recommend the forums) | 12:31 |
| marsfligth | anyway, this is not the right place to treat this question. i'll try to send an email to the Ubuntu team | 12:31 |
| buddha_ | zenix doesn't have a similar channel? | 12:31 |
| dlentz | BrianNie, you don't need the proprietary AMD driver, open-source default driver works fine | 12:32 |
| marsfligth | thanks for the suggestio to all and for the links as well | 12:32 |
| BrianNie | Then I uninstalled the driver from ATI , reboot the computer. It worked. | 12:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | dlentz: BrianNie was in earlier with unity problems (unity-2d worked so I suspected driver issues) | 12:34 |
| BrianNie | But now , It can work only 2D | 12:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | BrianNie: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/05/09/%23ubuntu.html (timestamp: 7:20) | 12:34 |
| BrianNie | yes, I think it maybe the unity problem. | 12:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | BrianNie: what happened when you had the driver installed? | 12:35 |
| parth_ | Can any one help me knowing whether my nvidia card is used by ubuntu or not | 12:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | parth_: the most effective way to find out is to try the live-cd. | 12:36 |
| fouchange | hello | 12:36 |
| fouchange | vous parlez francais | 12:36 |
| fouchange | ? | 12:36 |
| dlentz | BrianNie, have you looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log (pastebin it)? | 12:36 |

| ubottu | fouchange: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 12:36 |
| BrianNie | dlentz, let me see | 12:37 |
| parth_ | DarwinSurvivor what's the procedure | 12:37 |
| bricktea | so with the installation of 11.10 and the installation of gnome-shell and gnome-panel the gnome panel won't start | 12:37 |
| bricktea | the unity thingy works fine | 12:38 |
| bricktea | the gnome2 fallback doesn't | 12:38 |
| bricktea | !notunity | 12:38 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:38 |
| bricktea | and if I run gnome-panel manually this error arises (gnome-panel:5299): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_style_context_get: assertion `priv->widget_path != NULL' failed | 12:39 |
| bricktea | additionally one of my monitors is completely off | 12:39 |
| bricktea | like there is background (sometimes) but usually a grey background | 12:39 |
| gwelter | parth_: do you want to check the running installation or a possible new version? | 12:40 |
| bricktea | like a window failing to open up properly | 12:40 |
| parth_ | i want to running installation | 12:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !livecd | parth_ | 12:40 |

| arnpro | hello, how can I change root password in recovery mode?? | 12:41 |
| BrianNie | dlentz, where can I paste the Xorg.0.log file? | 12:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | arnpro: you *can*, but you shouldn't have to. why do you need a root password? | 12:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | BrianNie: paste.ubuntu.com | 12:41 |
| BrianNie | I saw many output like [ 327.023] (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument | 12:42 |
| arnpro | DarwinSurvivor: I really don't know, but today when trying yo log into my server, in some hosting, the root password failed, telling "access denied" and the hosting provider asked me to put into recovery mode and change it... | 12:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | arnpro: you should't ever need the root password in an ubuntu installation, just use sudo instead | 12:42 |
| arnpro | DarwinSurvivor: sorry I'm not following, but I need like to change it and then put my server back online, without reinstalling anything | 12:43 |
| Dr_willis | some hosting sites do not follow the ubuntu reccomendations and use root. :() | 12:43 |
| jetienne_ | q. i downloaded 12.04 iso from the site, now i would like to copy it on usb key and then install it on my PC, is there a link explaining how to do that ? | 12:43 |
| Dr_willis | jetienne_, use a tool like unetbootin, or other tools from the pendrivelinux site.. is one easy way | 12:44 |
| Dr_willis | jetienne_, they got tutorials also and other docs. | 12:44 |
| jetienne_ | Dr_willis: thanks looking | 12:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | arnpro: what kind of access do you have to it (it's remote right?) ex: can you access grub? | 12:44 |
| arnpro | DarwinSurvivor: this is what they say Recovery enables you to restart your server at any time in recovery mode, granting access to the data on your server which is no longer accessible over the internet using normal means. Thus, you can modify the system configuration and repair your server, making it fully available again. | 12:44 |
| parth_ | what to do after doing live CD | 12:44 |
| Dr_willis | jetienne_, if your pendrive is large enough - you can have several differnt disrtos on it :) and try them all. | 12:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | parth_: run it and see if 3d stuff works :D | 12:45 |

| DarwinSurvivor | arnpro: ok, so your hosting provider's recovery mode gives you basically root access to the entire drive? | 12:48 |
| xangua | !gpgerr | abhinav_singh | 12:48 |
| arnpro | yes DarwinSurvivor , it's a dedicated server... | 12:48 |
| ubottu | abhinav_singh: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key> » | 12:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | parth_: ok, then run the live-usb stick and open software center and install "gltron" it's a fairly small download (and will install into ram) and should give you an idea of how well your video card is supported | 12:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | parth_: chances are it will either work VERY well or VERY badly | 12:49 |

| ome | DarwinSurvivor: tl;dr: I need to wait before I can use shell. Real thing: I will do it in a second, cause I have to wait for the installer to finish and it's now downloading the packages using the 'NAT'. | 12:57 |
| ome | :) | 12:57 |

| djszapi|tb | DarwinSurvivor: yes of course | 13:00 |
| djszapi|tb | it did not work | 13:00 |
| Athariel | thanks | 13:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | djszapi|tb: it does help to prefix your message with the other person's name since most irc clients highlight messages with the persons name in it | 13:00 |
| djszapi|tb | it is not tablet, btw | 13:00 |

| OerHeks | djszapi|tb, if it is any help, latest wacom package > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom/LatestDriver | 13:07 |
| simples | does ubuntu installer allows to install encrypted partitions? | 13:08 |
| railsraider | i need help resizing down a partition parted doesn't work :( says incompatible feature error (using ext3) | 13:09 |
| OerHeks | simples yes, whole drive or your /home | 13:09 |
| xangua | simples: only your home, if you wich to encrypt all you'll have to use the alternate installer wich is basically debian's | 13:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simples: you can, but it's not terribly easy. if you just need to encrypt you personal files, use home-folder encryption on each account which is VERY easy to set up | 13:09 |
| _Matze__ | heyho! | 13:10 |
| p1l0t | lets go! | 13:10 |
| xangua | OerHeks: really all¿ thought only home | 13:10 |
| monaDeveloper | Hi | 13:10 |
| VictorCL | how can I change all the images that are ona a folder from a .jpeg to a .jpg ? | 13:10 |
| abhinav_singh | i am using ubutnu 11.10 ..when ever i try to update it says "Warning You are about to install software that can't b authenticated! Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system"..how do i fix it? i am not getting any gpg key error.. i am tried to fix missing gpg key error using launchpad-getkeys | 13:10 |
| foobArrr | DarwinSurvivor: what's not terribly easy about it? the alternate installer pretty much does everything automatically | 13:10 |
| _Matze__ | I'm running Ubuntu im VMware player andd it suddenly doesn't want to start anymore | 13:10 |
| monaDeveloper | recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system | 13:11 |
| jrib | VictorCL: you can use the "rename" command (see man page for examples; feel free to ask for more detail) | 13:11 |
| simples | DarwinSurvivor: i asked to encrypt partitions and not jut home, i want to have all system encrypted | 13:11 |
| fidel_ | _Matze__: any error-output? | 13:11 |
| monaDeveloper | what should I do? | 13:11 |
| VictorCL | yes I need the rename command but for a batch of images | 13:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | foobArrr: the alterneate installer is not terribly easy for the average user | 13:11 |
| jrib | VictorCL: yes, the "rename" command works on batches of images. | 13:11 |
| xangua | abhinav_singh: what's the output of sudo-apt-get-update ¿ | 13:11 |
| foobArrr | hm k | 13:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | foobArrr: it's not problem for you or I, but most users basically need the gui installer | 13:12 |
| fidel_ | VictorCL: batch-renaming works pretty good with pyrenamer | 13:12 |
| ironhalik | if using TwinView, is it possible to set the workspaces to change independently of eachother, on both monitors? | 13:12 |
| fidel_ | VictorCL: free tool - useful ui | 13:12 |
| _Matze__ | fidel_: at first the sceen keeps black for a long time | 13:12 |
| VictorCL | ok , i dont know much , I think will be faster if I rename them 1 by 1 | 13:12 |
| jrib | VictorCL: that's up to you I guess | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | ironhalik, they dont work that way. its one WIDE desktop/workspace basically | 13:13 |
| simples | so isnt possible to install ubuntu with encrypted partitions, who call it a great distro? | 13:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | VictorCL: are all the .jpeg's lowercase (the extension part)? | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | ironhalik, you could pin an app to the 2nd monitor, and have it show on all workspaces if you wanted | 13:13 |
| foobArrr | simples: it is. use the alternate installer. | 13:13 |
| simples | foobArrr: the alternate installer for what i see only allows to use LVM | 13:14 |
| monaDeveloper | recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system what should I do? | 13:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simples: it is possible, it's just much easier to use encrypted home folder which will protect the user's personal documents just fine | 13:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !encryption | simples | 13:14 |
| ubottu | simples: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 13:14 |
| ironhalik | Dr_willis: and what about different configuration? two x servers with xinerama? | 13:14 |
| foobArrr | simples: it allows full disk encryption | 13:14 |
| foobArrr | simples: lvm in luks, iirc | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | ironhalik, 2 x se4rvers - you have a totally seperate X session on the 2nd monitor. could run whatever you wanted.. i never use that setup | 13:14 |
| simples | foobArrr: that only possible through LVM, and i dont want LVM | 13:14 |
| _Matze__ | fidel_: before these problems my Ubuntu said it had not enough disk space but there is more than enough | 13:14 |
| simples | DarwinSurvivor: i dont want to just encrypt home | 13:15 |
| ironhalik | Dr_willis: and probably wouldnt be able to move windows around, right? | 13:15 |
| foobArrr | simples: if you partition manually, you can set it up without lvm | 13:15 |
| simples | foobArrr: you can not | 13:15 |
| Dr_willis | ironhalik, xinerama is basically a lesser version of twinview. | 13:15 |
| abhinav_singh | this is error http://pastebin.com/ERF6n81K xangua | 13:15 |
| foobArrr | simples: yes, you can | 13:15 |
| === Goku is now known as Raul | ||
| simples | foobArrr: tha installer does not allows it! | 13:15 |
| simples | foobArrr: like i said, the installer only allows through LVM | 13:16 |
| ironhalik | Dr_willis: hmm, ok. So is there any way to make seperate workspaces on two monitors? moving everything around kinda beats the purpose of dual displays for me | 13:16 |
| _Matze__ | \msg fidel_ | 13:16 |
| simples | i was just asking to see if that was already fixed, but seams not | 13:16 |
| foobArrr | what do you mean "allow"? feature not there? feature not working? | 13:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | VictorCL: "for i in `ls *.jpeg`; do mv $i `echo $i | sed 's/jpeg/jpg/'`; done | 13:16 |
| simples | foobArrr: why dont you go check it | 13:16 |
| jrib | DarwinSurvivor: don't use ls like that | 13:16 |
| _Matze__ | \MSG fidel_ | 13:17 |
| fidel_ | _Matze__: try to answer in 1 block if possible | 13:17 |
| simples | the installer is a crap | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | ironhalik, i dont know how your workflow is.. I move whatever window i need on the 2nd moniotr and pin it there if i want it to appear on eveyr workspace | 13:17 |
| fidel_ | _Matze__: what happens after that black-screen phase during boot? | 13:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jrib: oh yeah, forgot about that | 13:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what does "allowing non authenticated users to relay email using the mail server." relay mean? | 13:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | relay email | 13:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jrib: oh well, he left before I posted it anyways | 13:17 |
| fidel_ | _Matze__: and are you sure there is enough space free on the system-disk ubuntu is using? | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | ironhalik, i normally set up vlc video on moniotr #2. and do my work on #1 ;) | 13:17 |
| ironhalik | Dr_willis: hah, same here ;D I guess that should work for me, too ;) | 13:18 |
| fidel_ | Wiz_KeeD: that you dont need knowledge of user&pw to send mails over that box most likely | 13:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simples: is there a problem with using home folder encryption? the regular installer makes that dead-simple to set up. | 13:18 |
| Dr_willis | ironhalik, flash used to have issues going fullscreen with multi monitors.. i havent tried it lately | 13:19 |
| fidel_ | !pm > _Matze__ | 13:19 |
| ubottu | _Matze__, please see my private message | 13:19 |

| xangua | abhinav_singh: just open the update manager, go to preferences and change the download sources to the Main Server (in the very first tab) or whatever server you like | 13:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fidel_: yep, works :) | 13:22 |
| vkarpyuk | have anybody ever develop any file system? | 13:22 |
| vkarpyuk | to be specific ext2 | 13:22 |
| OerHeks | simples, see the note from xangua > if you wich to encrypt all you'll have to use the alternate installer | 13:23 |
| abhinav_singh | i am trying to chose best server.. it is showing me some server in india..when i chose the server ..nothing is happening xangua | 13:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | vkarpyuk: you mean like *written* a filesystem specification? | 13:23 |
| simples | OerHeks: seams you dont read what i say, the alternate isntaller will allow only to encrypt through LVM | 13:23 |
| foobArrr | simples: I just did check, works flawlessly, without lvm. | 13:23 |
| xangua | abhinav_singh: how ab out you choose your country server or main then | 13:23 |
| OerHeks | simples, so it can be done. | 13:23 |
| vkarpyuk | no i mean to develop a kernel module | 13:23 |
| abhinav_singh | it is already set to main server xangua | 13:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simples: and you aren't answering my question. | 13:23 |
| simples | foobArrr: foobArrr first you didn not had time for it, and second is not possible | 13:23 |
| xangua | abhinav_singh: you have to run the update manager again | 13:23 |
| fAz4 | any idea, how to run jar files on unity ?! | 13:24 |
| simples | OerHeks: can not, and by the way, debian haves a more recent installed, and ubuntu is still with a older one | 13:24 |
| foobArrr | simples: first I did, in a vm, second it is, third go troll somewhere else | 13:24 |
| simples | s/installed/installer | 13:24 |
| fidel_ | fAz4: in theory: having java installed - double-click it and answer the question of your file-manager to execute it | 13:24 |
| vkarpyuk | and it has to be a remote file system | 13:25 |
| OerHeks | simples, it can be done. i read you don't like the answer. | 13:25 |
| simples | foobArrr: well yes, ubuntu continues using a crap isntalled and does do any to improve it | 13:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | vkarpyuk: do you have a support question, or is this just research? | 13:25 |
| simples | OerHeks: can not! | 13:25 |
| fAz4 | fidel_: i used to set command in gnome | 13:25 |
| shibao | usp.br | 13:25 |
| fAz4 | fidel_: "java -jar" | 13:25 |
| simples | OerHeks: i was yesterday on it | 13:25 |
| jetienne | q. if i install ubuntu 12.04, can i switch to a non unity desktop ? | 13:25 |
| fAz4 | fidel_: but unity want's to install it's own java (openJDK) | 13:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !notunity | jetienne | 13:26 |
| ubottu | jetienne: 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 | 13:26 |
| vkarpyuk | it's a research | 13:26 |
| jetienne | DarwinSurvivor: i guess you means yes | 13:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jetienne: you can also install the kde, xfce or lmde desktop environments from the software center. | 13:26 |
| simples | better to to distros that proven to be in a higher level: Mageia, Fedora, Oepnsuse | 13:26 |
| jetienne | DarwinSurvivor: what is "!unity" in the bot message | 13:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | vkarpyuk: #ubuntu is used for support only, if you are doing basic research or getting opinions, please use #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:27 |
| jetienne | im considering xubuntu too | 13:27 |
| vkarpyuk | actually its a practical work | 13:27 |
| vkarpyuk | for my university | 13:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | vkarpyuk: if you have a problem that you need help fixing, #ubuntu is the right place. if not, please use #ubuntu-offtopic (non-support questions about ubuntu should be in #ubuntu-offtopic) | 13:28 |
| vkarpyuk | ok , thank you! | 13:28 |

| irkinosor | @Darwin I get a list of things | 13:41 |
| ikonia | _Matze__: you asked that less than a minute ago | 13:41 |
| ikonia | _Matze__: we saw you the first time | 13:41 |
| irkinosor | I down know if that's what you refer to as ping times | 13:41 |
| _Matze__ | sorry, my internet broke down and i didn't know, if the message got sent | 13:42 |
| fidel_ | _Matze__: can you boot into recovery mode? | 13:42 |
| _Matze__ | how can one boot into recovery mode? | 13:43 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: are you there? | 13:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: yes, i'm here | 13:43 |
| fidel_ | _Matze__: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/recovery_modus | 13:43 |
| ThinkT510 | _Matze__: select it from grub, hold shift to make grub show at boot | 13:43 |
| irkinosor | I think it is a list of ping times indeed | 13:44 |
| irkinosor | it keeps running | 13:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: what exactly does firefox and chrome show when trying to use them? | 13:44 |
| BadCodSmell | Do I need to do anything special to get NOPASSWD to work in sudoers on ubuntu? | 13:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: it will run forever (it's what it does) | 13:44 |
| ThinkT510 | BadCodSmell: you don't want nopasswd, it is a security risk | 13:44 |
| irkinosor | @darwin: it looks like. it is still running | 13:45 |
| BadCodSmell | I don't care, it's an internal thing and I don't have all day, plus the script does a lot of complex stuff with hardware and networking, chown/mod is not an option here. | 13:45 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: this is the error from firefox: Error Code: 407 Proxy Authentication Required. Forefront TMG requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. (12209) | 13:46 |
| BadCodSmell | I definitely want NOPASSWD, it just isn't working though. | 13:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: ok, well that's not "no internet", that's a proxy issue | 13:46 |
| ThinkT510 | BadCodSmell: show us what you got so far | 13:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: do you use a proxy ever (at work, school, etc) that you may have forgotten to disable? | 13:47 |
| _Matze__ | I don't get to see any grub when I press shift | 13:47 |
| OerHeks | BadCodSmell, did you logout & login after change ? | 13:47 |
| john | Can anyone walk me through adding a new modeline in Xrandr to enable a dual screen setup with a 2560x1440 and 1920x | 13:48 |
| BadCodSmell | hw ALL=NOPASSWD: /scripts/update.sh | 13:48 |
| snapdata | gstreamer (gstlaunch pulsesrc ! pulsesink) works fine, but my browser doesn't show up in the 'recording' tab. Any ideas? | 13:48 |
| irkinosor | Darwin: What do you mean. I use the rpoxy at school where I am actually. But I mention that it works when I connect via guest session. | 13:48 |
| ThinkT510 | BadCodSmell: is hw a user? | 13:48 |
| irkinosor | @darwin: btw how do I stop that ping thing? | 13:48 |
| john | Can anyone walk me through adding a new modeline in Xrandr to enable a dual screen setup with 2560x1440 and 1920x1080 monitors? I'm currently getting an exceeds virtual screen size error when I try to just switch my monitors to that size. | 13:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: just close the terminal window | 13:49 |
| OerHeks | BadCodSmell, i think you need to use FULL path /home/$USER/scripts/update.sh | 13:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: it sounds like your proxy is misconfigured. what type of proxy is it and what are the settings you used in firefox and chrome? | 13:49 |
| BadCodSmell | I figured it out, and it is outrageouly trivial, no +x. | 13:49 |
| BadCodSmell | Sudo just doesn't react in the way you would expect. | 13:50 |
| monaDeveloper | recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system what should I do? | 13:50 |
| _Matze__ | ThinkT510: I don't get grub if I press SHIFT | 13:50 |
| hwilde | john you would have to make it 1920x2 = 3840x1080 | 13:50 |
| snapdata | I'm fairly certain Flash is not using PulseAudio. Any ideas? | 13:50 |
| ThinkT510 | _Matze__: i've never used vmware, not sure if that would intercept the shift. are you holding it or just pressed once | 13:51 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: what do you mean? I use the proxy provided by the university IT tech | 13:51 |
| _Matze__ | ThinkT510 : I tried bot options | 13:51 |
| _Matze__ | *both | 13:52 |
| john | hwilde, how would I go about doing that? Right now I just get an exceeds virtual screen size for anything over 2560x2560, which is a little larger than where I like my primary monitor. | 13:52 |

| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: how do you log into the proxy? do you have to change settings in the web browser, or are you just presented with a login page when you try to load the first website? | 13:52 |
| ThinkT510 | _Matze__: not sure what to suggest sorry | 13:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ikonia: basically, what information did IT give you for connecting? | 13:53 |
| Pici | DarwinSurvivor: wrong person | 13:53 |
| hwilde | last spoke >> alphabetical! | 13:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oops | 13:53 |
| _Matze__ | ThinkT510: thats bad.. who might be able to help me? | 13:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: ^^ | 13:53 |
| john | hwilde, reading over what I've found online I get adding modelines to single monitors, but it doesn't look like it will help me exceed virtual screen size for both. | 13:53 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: I was presented with the login window when I first try a page and I put my username and passord | 13:53 |
| ThinkT510 | adamb: i don't think so, you'd have to download + upgrade at the same time, don't think you can download and save for later | 13:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: basically, what information did IT give you for connecting? | 13:53 |
| hwilde | john idk | 13:53 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: I head you | 13:54 |

| monaDeveloper | recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system what should I do? | 13:54 |
| ThinkT510 | _Matze__: you are in the right place to ask, many tend to use virtualbox rather than vmware | 13:54 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: There was and I did before trying to connect to the first page where I change it to automatic proxy | 13:55 |
| _Matze__ | ThinkT510: A collegue recommended VMware to my so I took it.. | 13:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: and you *didn't* make those changes in the guest account? | 13:55 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: I used Oneric like yesterday and these same setting was working jsut fine!!! | 13:55 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: had problems after I upgraded | 13:56 |
| ThinkT510 | _Matze__: if i can i stay with open source solutions where practical, thats why i've only used virtualbox, sorry i'm not much help | 13:56 |
| shepska | ? | 13:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: I'm trying to figure out what is different between the firefox in your regular account and the firefox in your guest account | 13:57 |
| _Matze__ | ThinkT510: okay, VMware-player is for free but not open source? | 13:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | if there were settings you put into your user account but not your guest account, try taking those settings out | 13:57 |
| ThinkT510 | _Matze__: yes | 13:57 |
| ThinkT510 | _Matze__: virtualbox is free and open source, also in the ubuntu repos | 13:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: is there a link you can post that points to your university's proxy connection instructions? | 13:58 |
| irkinosor | Please do. Note that there are not network setting for the system in my guest account. I tried that earlier, I changed Network proxy to none but that also didn'twork | 13:59 |
| irkinosor | @Darwin: What do you mean? | 13:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | irkinosor: i'm assuming your university has some kind of website with instructions telling students how to connect to the proxy. can you give us a link to it? | 14:00 |

| xangua | Kristophwa: you will have tu wait untill 12.04.1 releases in a couple of months i've heard | 14:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Kristophwa: no, you can upgrade to 10.10, then 11.04, then 11.10, then 12.04. but a reinstall may be faster depending on how much customization you've done | 14:02 |

| linelevel | Hi guys. Given a bunch of binary data in hex, is there any command (via a bash shell) by which I can pipe in those hex codes to create a file that contains that binary data? | 14:56 |
| zozo_ | thanks Pici | 14:56 |
| no-name- | I got this from sensors-detect. I found the driver I need on that link, but I can't figure out how to install it. It's a c file and a make file -- it makes but doesn't sudo make install | 14:56 |
| Cubuntu | In the network indicator it says 'device not ready. Firmware missing' on a old laptop I'm trying to get to work. It's a broadcom wifi. There's no driver for it in the 'Additional drivers' application. | 14:56 |
| w1jp | mostly just throwing it out there. | 14:56 |

| killemall | hey guys, any way to select classic gnome session? I have old gpu and if I log out, my screen goes black and wont come back but I can hear the login sound | 14:58 |
| penreturns | Guest48170 : search for ubuntu restricted extra at USC | 14:59 |
| ome | linelevel: xxd should do the trick. | 14:59 |
| killemall | im using 12.04 | 14:59 |
| linelevel | ome: I looked at that but I just have the data formatted as \x31\xC0\x50\x68 ... | 14:59 |
| ome | killemall: if it's that old, you better off going with somethin like openbox or xfce. | 15:00 |
| linelevel | ome: xxd needs a hex dump format (with offsets, etc.) | 15:00 |
| penreturns | killemall, refer this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/classicgnome | 15:00 |
| killemall | ome: I think this will not solve the problem | 15:00 |
| killemall | penreturns: I need to select without gui login screen | 15:00 |
| ome | killemall: that is true though. think of my message as a sidenote. :) | 15:00 |
| ome | linelevel: I am not good with machine code but I am pretty sure there is a few hex standards and how they should be converted to a 'binary file' | 15:01 |
| ome | but you can always use hex2bin to just create a 'binary' file. | 15:01 |
| Duality | how could i turn on wlan0 from terminal ? | 15:01 |

| xrfang | hi, I am now in Fedora 16, I want to burn ubuntu 12.04 iso to a usb disk so that I can boot it, how can I do that? | 15:01 |
| guest123 | you must use unetbootin | 15:02 |
| penreturns | xrdodrx, search for startup disk creator | 15:02 |
| auronandace | xrfang: you can dd it to the usb | 15:02 |
| OerHeks | xrfang, use unetbootin > http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 15:02 |
| linelevel | ome: Wouldn't hex2bin just give me an ASCII file containing '0's and '1's? | 15:02 |

| killemall | ok :P | 15:03 |
| dev-null | Can I add ppa's in Xubuntu? Like in Ubuntu... | 15:03 |

| xrfang | OerHeks, I will take a look , thanks | 15:03 |
| auronandace | xrfang: its meant to work with dd from 11.10 onwards | 15:03 |
| auronandace | xrfang: apparently you can cat it too | 15:04 |
| ome | Duality: you can use ifconfig/iwconfig to manage the interfaces and use 'nmcli' to connect to networks. | 15:04 |
| RingZer0 | trying to switch fron win to ubuntu - when booting off the cd (dvd) all i see is a blinking horizontal cursor. But I hear the infamous startup sound that plays after initial load. | 15:04 |

| rr3 | is it safe to install a PPA? I want to install python2.7 on 10.04 and askubuntu says I should install a PPA from Felix Krull? | 15:14 |
| xangua | madurax86: take it with your hands, and close it; it goes to suspension and then it doesn't turn off...happened to me a few times XD | 15:14 |
| penreturns | yep | 15:14 |
| xangua | rr3: you use ppa at your own risk, it's up to you | 15:14 |
| ome | RingZer0: haha. ok then google " [Put your graphic card name here] problem with ubuntu linux". maybe that should help if you have tried yet. | 15:14 |

| ome | s\have\haven't\ | 15:14 |
| madurax86 | xangua: how to fix it? im hibernating by pm-hibernate | 15:15 |
| DJones | rr3: some ppas work well, others can ruin a system, it depends how much you trust the ppa creator | 15:15 |
| RingZer0 | ome: I will try that, i appreciate the fact that you tried to help man. | 15:15 |
| ome | RingZer0: not a problem. :) | 15:15 |
| penreturns | nope... use without | <-- just separate the command line | 15:16 |
| xangua | madurax86: so you close the tape after selecting the turn off menu¿ it goes to suspension instead¿ | 15:16 |
| rr3 | okay thanks guys, I am going to resist install the ppa on my 10.04 box, just going install a VM with 12.04 for what I need to get done, I believe 12.04 comes with python 2.7 | 15:16 |

| wylde | Duality: yes | 15:43 |
| Duality | with graphics and everything ? | 15:43 |
| shuhaib | I wanna block all the sites even google ,I need to allow only my company email and company sites ,Do we have any simple method to impliment this | 15:43 |
| shagoyjo | I have some files that I untarred. They show up in ls, and tab autocomplete, but commands cannot find them. What is the process to rectify this? | 15:43 |
| shuhaib | Please help ........ | 15:43 |
| wylde | Duality: that's what I have to run my lame printer that doesn't support linux at all :) | 15:43 |
| shagoyjo | shuhaib: you can us iptables | 15:43 |
| Duality | wylde did you follow a tutorial to setup ? | 15:43 |
| eddytv | Anybody familiar with grub on a RAID1 root disk and "mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid on /root failed: Device or resource is busy" error? (Ubuntu 11.04) | 15:44 |
| shagoyjo | shuhaib: *use, sorry | 15:44 |
| shagoyjo | shuhaib: you can set the default network action to block and then allow only your corporate IP adresses | 15:44 |
| shuhaib | Hi shagoyj | 15:45 |
| shuhaib | How it can be the command | 15:45 |
| wylde | Duality: nope, snippets of stuff to get the vm going (it was headless) so I had to setup my vm on the command line. | 15:45 |
| shagoyjo | shuhaib: the easiest way for the beginner to deal with IP tables is with something like iptables-persistent, which I think comes standard in ubuntu now? | 15:45 |
| shagoyjo | shuhaib: let me look it up really quick | 15:45 |
| eddytv | Server boots fine if both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are physically present, but if I disconnect /dev/sdb, the server doesn't boot and gives the above error. | 15:45 |
| shuhaib | sure | 15:46 |
| Duality | wylde, is it hard to do? | 15:46 |
| shuhaib | they told me to impliment tommorrow | 15:46 |
| BlindedCannibal | bazhang, Flv with Mplyayer works just fine... | 15:46 |
| shagoyjo | shuhaib: here's your tutorial on iptables use in ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 15:46 |
| eddytv | (this is even after I mdadm --fail and then mdadm --remove /dev/sdb) | 15:46 |
| wylde | Duality: I didn't find it hard. Not everyone has the same amount of patience tho! lol :) | 15:47 |
| bazhang | BlindedCannibal, so its an issue with the flash plugin for firefox, or whatever browser you are using | 15:47 |
| shagoyjo | shuhaib: basically you're just going to set the default filter to "all" and then create allow entries for all of the ip's or ip ranges you wish to let through. | 15:47 |
| Duality | i got a lot of patience, i tried getting a linux image to run on my pda toke me three days | 15:47 |
| Duality | two of them were without sleep :S | 15:47 |
| eddytv | Any suggestions? Spent several hours trying to get this resolved with no luck. | 15:47 |
| neokya | Hello everyone | 15:48 |
| AlphaGuyy | Hi | 15:48 |
| wylde | Duality: http://jplate.servehttp.com/ <--- click on pages then click on Win2k VM Print Server. Nothing fancy the basic steps I took. Was a while ago. | 15:48 |
| neokya | I have dual boot, windows 7 and Ubuntu | 15:48 |
| neokya | I am using ubuntu for a while | 15:48 |
| neokya | Today I saw that my file system is NTFS instead of ext4 | 15:48 |
| bazhang | !enter | neokya | 15:48 |
| ubottu | neokya: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 15:48 |
| shagoyjo | Anyboddy got any clues about my filesystem issue? I have files that show up for ls and tab autocomplete, but cannot be found by programs or run (where they are executable). Anybody dealt with this before? They came from a tarball, so I assume that has something to do with the issue. | 15:49 |
| neokya | Now I want to change it, how should I go? | 15:49 |
| neokya | Should I format it all and reinstall Ubuntu, as I don't want windows anymore | 15:49 |
| Duality | thanks :) | 15:49 |
| shuhaib | Thanks shagoyjo | 15:49 |
| BlindedCannibal | bazhang, Oh, strange it happens with every browser, thanks D: | 15:49 |
| tSec | auronandace: the ppd hasn't changed as far as i can see. | 15:50 |
| neokya | ok | 15:50 |
| shagoyjo | shuhaib: np. iptables is a robust and useful tool. Become proficient and you can sue for a pay raise :-) | 15:50 |
| auronandace | tSec: then it should work the same, i'd have thought | 15:50 |
| bazhang | neokya, wubi install? ubuntu won't be on an ntfs | 15:50 |
| tSec | auronandace: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/992982 | 15:50 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 992982 in cups (Ubuntu) "Network printing fails. Worked before upgrade to 12.04" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 15:50 |
| vp18 | has anyone on here heard of Pear os? | 15:50 |
| AlphaGuyy | Anyone familiar with gpen 340? | 15:50 |
| Pici | vp18: #ubuntu-offtopic probably has. | 15:51 |
| bazhang | vp18, yes, its offtopic here | 15:51 |
| tSec | so while this is beeing worked on, i'd like to be able to print anyway :) | 15:51 |
| wawowe | neokya: assuming you installed using something like wubi, in windows. yeah, format and reinstall. | 15:51 |
| === lun4tic_ is now known as lun4tic | ||
| Onixs | woot | 15:51 |
| Duality | wylde you made that website ? | 15:51 |
| tdelam | can anyone recommend me a terminal for Ubuntu 12.04? | 15:51 |
| tdelam | or do most people use the default Terminal | 15:51 |
| wylde | Duality: yeah, nothing fancy just my hobby site | 15:51 |
| tdelam | I am used to OS X where I was enjoying iTerm2 :) was wondering if there is something similar | 15:52 |
| bazhang | tdelam, a dropdown one like guake? | 15:52 |
| neokya | Ok. My query in one line: I have dual boot up, windows 7 and ubuntu. I just noticed that my filesystem on Linux is NTFS which is making it slow to read and write data/files. Now I want to change it. How to change from NTFS to EXT4? Should I format everything and reinstall Ubuntu? PS> I don't want windows anymore. | 15:52 |
| wylde | Duality: it's been seriously neglected for a while now too lol | 15:52 |
| RingZer0 | i know i can do nousb with vilinuz, but what about no1394 ? | 15:52 |
| Duality | wylde, nice site :) | 15:52 |
| RingZer0 | e.g. no firewire, how would I do that? | 15:52 |
| bazhang | neokya, thats a wubi install then? | 15:52 |
| wylde | Duality: thanks :) | 15:52 |
| neokya | Yes, it's wubi | 15:52 |
| tSec | so noone can help me installing an older cups version? | 15:52 |
| tdelam | bazhang: not necessarily, just something simple like this: http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/features | 15:53 |
| tdelam | bazhang: an equivalent I guess :) | 15:53 |
| bazhang | neokya, and you want only ubuntu, and get rid of windows completely? | 15:53 |
| neokya | yes | 15:53 |
| neokya | exactly | 15:53 |
| bazhang | neokya, then get the cd and install, choose use entire disk | 15:53 |
| tdelam | I'm slowly weening ourselves from Apple to PC's with Ubuntu | 15:53 |
| rockets | Has anybody gotten a bridged (not NAT) interface working with KVM on Ubuntu 12.04? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it properly. | 15:54 |
| neokya | @bazhang, Can I do that without formating these two OSs? | 15:54 |
| bazhang | tdelam, you can check in the package manager/software centre, not familiar with iterm2, sorry | 15:54 |
| tdelam | thanks :) | 15:54 |
| compdoc | rockets, works the same way as in older versions | 15:54 |
| tdelam | i'll poke about | 15:54 |
| rockets | compdoc, yeah, but this is my first time setting it up :) | 15:54 |
| DanielConvissor | hi | 15:55 |
| rockets | compdoc, I'm trying to follow tutorials I've found for older versions but I just can't get it to work. | 15:55 |
| compdoc | rockets, is bridge-utils installed? that should be default if you install qemu-kvm | 15:55 |
| bazhang | neokya, dual boot? sure. the installer will see windows and tell it to install side by side | 15:55 |
| rockets | compdoc, yes it is installed. | 15:55 |
| rockets | compdoc, there is a working NAT bridge | 15:55 |
| rockets | compdoc, but I'm trying to create a bridge that allows my guests access to the local network | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | rockets it's either NAT or bridged | 15:55 |
| compdoc | rockets, how many network cards in the system? | 15:56 |
| wawowe | neokya: if you're only using about half of your disk you could download something like the gparted live-cd and resize the ntfs to half the disk then dual-boot and copy your windows stuff to the ubuntu ext4 from ubuntu | 15:56 |
| rockets | compdoc, two | 15:56 |
| compdoc | good | 15:56 |
| DeltaHeavy | Does editing a file with sed not marked it as changed for svn? | 15:56 |
| rockets | compdoc, MonkeyDust, I set up this http://pastie.org/3884913 | 15:56 |
| rockets | And then I set my guest OS to use br0 | 15:56 |
| llutz | !info terminator | tdelam take a look at this | 15:56 |
| ubottu | tdelam take a look at this: terminator (source: terminator): multiple GNOME terminals in one window. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.96-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 256 kB, installed size 1775 kB | 15:56 |
| rockets | via virt-manager | 15:56 |
| wawowe | neokya: after that remove the ntfs and expand ext4 into it | 15:56 |
| rockets | but they can' | 15:56 |
| compdoc | whats your /etc/network/interfaces file look like? Also, did you add a network card later, or was it there when you installed? | 15:56 |
| rockets | but they can't get dhcp | 15:57 |
| eddytv | So no grub / mdadm wizards around, huh? | 15:57 |
| rockets | compdoc, there when I installed | 15:57 |
| compdoc | good | 15:57 |
| rockets | compdoc, full interfaces file: http://pastie.org/3884918 | 15:57 |
| rockets | I then set the guest to use br0 via virt-manager's "Details" pain | 15:57 |
| Praxi | hmm so 11.10 is working fine, linux is very fragile if you don't know what your doing (like me), how hard is the upgrade to 12.04? | 15:57 |
| rockets | pane* | 15:57 |
| abrotman | Does Ubuntu have an equivalent of snapshot.debian.org? where prior versions of packages are stored? | 15:58 |
| abrotman | (versions not listed on packages.ubuntu.com) | 15:58 |
| auronandace | Praxi: if you used ppas then expect stuff to go wrong | 15:58 |
| fidel_ | Praxi: run a backup - then start the upgrade. in best case it just works without issues - but you never know (backup) | 15:58 |
| auronandace | Praxi: a fresh install will always be more straightforward | 15:59 |
| compdoc | rockets, I think its that file - let me show you mine. just a minute... | 15:59 |
| foolsh | eddytv: I usually mount /boot on a small 100~200mb partition at the beginning of the first drive and set the boot flag there, then I raid the rest of the drive | 15:59 |
| Duality | wylde, ubuntu server keeps surprising me with stuff it can do | 15:59 |
| irv | so i tried doing an 'upgrade' from 11.10 to 12.04 and one of hte packages threw an error during the 'cleaning up' phase. i had to hard reset and now the install is broken. I've now booted into the 12.04 live cd and i just want to recover the documents from the home folder. it's not encrypted, so do i just take ownership of the home folder recursively and then give myself read access and copy | 15:59 |
| irv | away? | 15:59 |
| Praxi | hmm not sure on the ppas, any way to check if I've done that? | 15:59 |
| fidel_ | auronandace: using tons of ppas here and never had upgrader issues based on that fact | 15:59 |
| neokya | bazhang, I mean I want to get rid of both the OSs and want a fresh Ubuntu. Can I do it without first formating? | 15:59 |
| wylde | Duality: you're only limited by your hardware really :) | 15:59 |
| rockets | compdoc, greatly appreciated | 15:59 |
| eddytv | foolsh: yeah, no separate /boot on this server | 15:59 |
| Pici | abrotman: You might be able to find earlier builds on http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/ | 15:59 |
| foolsh | eddytv: Since you are way past that point I can't really help | 15:59 |
| irv | if so, what's the command to recursively take ownership of an old home folder from a livecd and give myself read access | 15:59 |
| jrib | irv: just mount your install an go to the folder. You don't need to take ownership | 15:59 |
| Praxi | took me like 3 days to get this setup how I wanted, really don't want to reload hehe. | 15:59 |
| tSec | ah, managed to do it. | 15:59 |
| bazhang | neokya, the installer will format it for you, if that is what you choose | 16:00 |
| auronandace | fidel_: the amount of people i've seen with dependency issues thanks to ppas is amazing | 16:00 |
| wawowe | irv: how broken is the install? will it boot? | 16:00 |
| irv | jrib: it says permission denied since i'm booted from the livecd | 16:00 |
| jrib | irv: use sudo | 16:00 |
| eddytv | foolsh: thanks for taking the time to reply at least :) | 16:00 |
| jrib | irv: gksudo nautilus for example | 16:00 |
| irv | it boots, but once it gets the the login screen i can't type | 16:00 |
| irv | ahhhhh silly me :D | 16:00 |
| irv | thanks man | 16:00 |
| neokya | bazhang: Wow that's exactly what I am looking for. I just wanted to confirm it from here. Thanks a lot. I will do fresh single install. | 16:00 |
| wylde | Duality: oh, one other thing about vbox headless, if you connect with RDP you're mouse is going to be jumpy as heck until you install guest additions. | 16:01 |
| fidel_ | auronandace: must be heavy luck then here with 3 boxes ...but yeah i'll ack at that point that ppas might rise the risk | 16:01 |
| DanielConvissor | when running "adduser <user> --encrypt-home", i want to have a bunch of symlinks set up to say /var/mail/<user>. don't think one can do it in /etc/skel since it's just copying files. tried to do it in adduser.local script, but it's not flying. adduser.local acts upon the non-decrypted directory. adding an "ssh <user>@host <command>" to adduser.local doesn't work either because the user creation process hasn't completed, so | 16:01 |
| DanielConvissor | logging in via ssh at that point still sees the non-decrypted directory. any ideas? | 16:01 |
| jrib | irv: once you backup your docs, you can ask for help troubleshooting yo,ur intsall | 16:01 |
| wawowe | irv: boot into single user mode and run apt-get -f install | 16:01 |
| Duality | wylde, RDP ? | 16:01 |
| shuhaib | Is it possible to hack the locked wifi network | 16:02 |
| fetzbeast | umuu | 16:02 |
| auronandace | fidel_: no doubt you are one of the few people who knows what he installs and the impact it has on your systems | 16:02 |
| bazhang | Duality, remote desktop? | 16:02 |
| compdoc | rockets: http://pastie.org/3884943 | 16:02 |
| jrib | DanielConvissor: don't know if there's a better way, but you could create a script that runs automatically and deletes itself once it runs :P (this is probably a bad idea; look for a better way) | 16:02 |
| bazhang | shuhaib, thats not ontopic here | 16:02 |
| wylde | Duality: Remote Desktop Protocol, once you have your vm running (using VBoxHeadless) you can connect to a "desktop" using an RDP client(it's independent of the OS) | 16:02 |
| rockets | compdoc, whoa, what does inet manual do? I've never seen that before | 16:02 |
| Duality | bazhang, not really good at recognizing words that are shortend | 16:03 |
| === test1 is now known as AhmedHashem1 | ||
| compdoc | rockets, means do not assign an ip address to the bridge | 16:03 |

| irv | damn it. | 16:03 |
| jrib | !encrypt | irv | 16:03 |

| === AhmedHashem1 is now known as prog1 | ||
| jrib | irv: there should be info there on accessing it | 16:03 |
| shuhaib | Is it possible to hack the locked wifi network | 16:03 |
| rockets | compdoc, you can just do auto eth1 and not actually set an inet, and it still brings it up i think | 16:04 |
| bazhang | shuhaib, stop asking. | 16:04 |
| bazhang | shuhaib, I told you its offtopic here | 16:04 |
| irv | yeah, i tried clicking the 'access you rprivate data' | 16:04 |
| irv | also running ecruptfs-mount-private and it says it's not setup properly | 16:04 |
| OptiWork | can anyone help with a glib-compile-schema error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/978092/ | 16:04 |
| irv | this is from the livecd | 16:04 |
| sirhenrik | I am experiencing choppy window movement in Ubuntu 12.04. How can I make it better? :) | 16:04 |
| compdoc | rockets, I dont think your interfaces file is using the standard way, but it might work that way | 16:04 |
| irv | from the elevated nautilus window | 16:04 |
| jrib | OptiWork: ENOCONTEXT | 16:04 |

| rockets | compdoc, well my way currently doesn't work, so I'll deign to try yours :D | 16:05 |
| DanielConvissor | jrib: maybe. only thought i have at this point is creating my own script for adding users that calls the adduser command and then runs my symlink creation commands. | 16:05 |
| compdoc | :) | 16:05 |
| reels | Hi, I want to understand the bridge settings in my /etc/network/interfaces because I have some unexpected behaviour of this bridge device. Where can I start ? Neither man 5 interfaces nor the example configs mention bridge or bridge_ports. The bridge configuration of my box is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/978144/ | 16:05 |
| jrib | DanielConvissor: can you do that if the home directory is encrypted? | 16:05 |
| compdoc | rockets, seems the main difference is that I define eth1 and eth2 before making them bridges | 16:05 |
| DanielConvissor | have my script ssh in as the user and | 16:05 |
| DanielConvissor | jrib: ^ | 16:05 |
| OptiWork | jrib: ? | 16:06 |
| jrib | DanielConvissor: oh. I guess that works too. Both are a bit kludgy | 16:06 |
| shuhaib | I wanna to disable all the sites even gooogle | 16:06 |
| jrib | OptiWork: you should provide context | 16:06 |
| OptiWork | provide context to what? | 16:06 |
| shuhaib | need to provide only two sites | 16:06 |
| bazhang | shuhaib, you were told to use iptables for that | 16:06 |
| DanielConvissor | jrib: yes. surprised there's no way to have adduser act upon the decrypted directory either before or after encryption. | 16:06 |
| jrib | OptiWork: your question, your error... | 16:06 |
| rockets | Ok compdoc, how's this look: http://pastie.org/3884963 | 16:07 |
| wylde | !ufw | shuhaib | 16:07 |
| ubottu | shuhaib: 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. | 16:07 |

| OptiWork | Whitor: go to the manufacturer website, usually they'll have firmware in an ISO you can boot from and update the firmware. | 16:12 |
| * fraterm nods... sometimes firmware updaters are merely downloadable images that could be USB booted in theory... run their update on a drive and go. | 16:12 | |

| fraterm | or ISO booted yeah. | 16:12 |

| fraterm | you'll have to find out your SSD vendors commitment to support. | 16:13 |
| shuhaib | its dual boot machine | 16:13 |
| Whitor | OptiWork, fitst things first. the partition table is zeroed out... I need to restore it, if possible, (It must be possible) After that, I'll recreate the bug... if it does recreate... then I'll look at firmware and such | 16:14 |
| OptiWork | shuhaib: Windows loading properly doesn't really mean that the ram is good, might just mean that Windows doesn't hit the bad chip, did you run a full ram test with memtest? | 16:14 |
| fraterm | if you did have a big time failure that did wipe the boot sector... you would then still probably need to do some grub work to rebuild your systems ability to boot to a selected OS. | 16:14 |
| shuhaib | yea | 16:14 |
| abcdef | anyone knows what happend to es.archive.ubuntu.com? the packet repository is not working, and in #ubuntu-es looks like no one knows about... (btw, it is throwing 504 to all browser petitions) | 16:14 |
| shuhaib | Nad i done one more step | 16:14 |
| wylde | Duality: fixed, hover over Pages and click the link again and those references will be fixed :) (refresh will take you back to the index page) | 16:15 |
| shuhaib | I put live cd of ubnutu and mount the / partion and done fsck against | 16:15 |
| OptiWork | Whitor: you can try to run some disc recovery tools and see if you can locate the issue with the partition table. Hopefully you can recover it. | 16:15 |
| shuhaib | and it worked couple of days | 16:15 |
| shuhaib | But after some times it started again | 16:15 |

| Whitor | OptiWork, yeah, I guess I'll come back when I have proven it is a repeatable bug . | 16:17 |
| OptiWork | abcdef: did you traceroute to the site? Maybe they're down for maint, maybe someone plowed into a fiber box. | 16:17 |
| OptiWork | Whitor: good luck, also do check the drive's site for firmware | 16:18 |

| FreeRun | hi | 16:18 |
| Whitor | the files an't so much of an issue... I have most (maybe all) already on an external HD. | 16:18 |
| OptiWork | Whitor: I had a machine that would dump everything after 2 days of working great until I updated firmware, no problems since. | 16:18 |
| Walther_ | Computer shut down during an update. As a result, graphical interface doesn't start. I ran dpkg-configure -a and have updated&upgraded everything again, still no luck | 16:19 |
| Walther_ | From clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 | 16:19 |
| shagoyjo | I'm still hunting for info on my unfindable files problem, but if anybody has any advice, that'd be great. I have a folder that came out of a tarball, all of the files exist for ls and tab autocomplete, but every other program gives me a 'file not found' | 16:19 |

| === Walther_ is now known as Walther | ||
| FreeRun | and what is the TGTV in sensors? | 16:19 |
| OptiWork | shagoyjo: are you trying to execute the files? Is there a flag set on the partition that the files are in that doesn't allow you to execute or something? | 16:20 |
| abcdef | OptiWork: mtr is also fine for es.archive.... dunno if it is a plain mirror of archive.ubuntu.com so I could get packages from it..... | 16:20 |
| OptiWork | FreeRun: what are you trying to do? | 16:20 |
| abcdef | however some admin at the es repo should look into it | 16:21 |
| OptiWork | abcdef: could be in process of mirroring over. | 16:21 |
| theadmin | abcdef: All the CC.archive.ubuntu.com are the same as archive.ubuntu.com, mostly (CC = country code) | 16:21 |
| Duality | wylde, hmm seems i don't have a .iso file, alright time for dd to get busy with it (ubuntu/linux got so many nice tools for doing things in terminal) | 16:21 |
| shagoyjo | OptiWork: LS shows all of the permissions are set properly. I can neither run nor open any of the files, but I can navigate throught the folders, which were also in the tarball. Every command (including attempts to execute) returns "file not found" | 16:21 |
| shagoyjo | brb | 16:21 |
| abcdef | ok, will try to get manually my packages from the main source then, thanks | 16:21 |

| wylde | Duality: :) yep | 16:22 |
| irv | pehraps it'd be more productive to troubleshoot my failed 12.04 upgrade | 16:22 |
| irv | :o | 16:22 |
| OptiWork | irv: O.o | 16:22 |
| theadmin | Walther: That'd be the server edition or the minimal install. Or do you mean your X (GUI) fails to load? | 16:22 |
| * OptiWork came here to get a question answered, ended up fielding a few fly balls. | 16:23 | |
| irv | both recovery mode and regular mode get me to the login screen but i can't interact with it and there are two x's at the top | 16:23 |
| jrib | OptiWork: by context, I meant you could explain for example why you are running this command (is it part of something larger that you are trying to accomplish? Is it being run by some other program?). Also, you should mention your ubuntu version | 16:23 |
| wylde | Duality: I keep all my install media as an iso on my "server" as well as my physical disks. | 16:23 |
| Walther | theadmin: as I said above, after an update failed, cannot get to desktop | 16:23 |

| theadmin | Walther: Sorry, I joined just a while ago. Upgrades aren't too reliable in Ubuntu, unfortunately, a clean install normally works better. | 16:26 |
| jrib | OptiWork: what package provides /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.gschema.override ? | 16:26 |
| theadmin | !find /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.gschema.override | 16:27 |
| ubottu | Package/file /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.gschema.override does not exist in precise | 16:27 |
| theadmin | Hm. | 16:27 |
| theadmin | jrib: Doesn't seem like anything in the repos, or maybe something from an older release, it would seem | 16:27 |
| OptiWork | jrib: it's customization that I've done to the launcher with all the apps that I want the users to access. | 16:27 |
| jrib | OptiWork: so you've created this file? | 16:27 |
| Walther | theadmin: ...and if you had read what I said, I did a clean install, I was talking about a sudo apt-get install && sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:28 |
| shagoyjo | OptiWork : Back, sorry, for the sudden departure, emergency staff meeting. | 16:28 |

| Kage- | Does anyone know how to add an _existing_ Intel Matrix RAID array to a Linux installation? | 16:29 |

| OptiWork | jrib: but I never changed it I just used what was there. | 16:29 |
| FreeRun | hmm... ok, but i know how to add new, but i need to RESTORE old | 16:29 |
| jrib | OptiWork: I'm confused because you just told me you created it | 16:29 |
| liam__ | 。。。 | 16:29 |
| OptiWork | shagoyjo: then check how the partition that those files are located on is mounted, sounds like you've got some flags set for it that are incorrect or you don't have the right permissions to do them. | 16:29 |
| FreeRun | OptiWork: i have custom launcher called "fan1" how to find them in system? | 16:30 |

| FreeRun | but the same problem... | 16:30 |

| OptiWork | jrib: I created the file which is a txt file that gets compiled into the schema by running the command, my file lists all the favorites aka icons on the launch bar that I specify. The error comes from the location of the "favorites" (key for the lack of a better word) that I didn't set. | 16:31 |
| auronandace | FacedeProut: checked the screensaver settings? | 16:31 |
| FacedeProut | FreeRun: sensors? | 16:31 |
| FreeRun | it's bot | 16:31 |
| shagoyjo | OptiWork: also, wouldn't I be getting "permission denied" not "no such file or directory"? | 16:31 |
| FreeRun | yes, CPU, GPU temp. | 16:31 |
| FreeRun | CPU GPU temp | 16:32 |
| theadmin | FacedeProut: Sounds ridiculous, but if your keyboard has num/caps/scroll sensors (all or any) check if they're blinking. If they are, it's a kernel panic, which gives some more information | 16:32 |
| theadmin | s/sensors/lights/ | 16:32 |
| FreeRun | anybody know how to manually set up fan speed? | 16:32 |
| FacedeProut | theadmin: no it looks like it still running...its just a black screen and doesnt respond to any keyboard entry | 16:32 |
| OptiWork | shagoyjo: well in some cases a drive can be mounted as a folder and not given execute permission for example. This doesn't seem to be the case for you though as you've said the folder is right on the root. | 16:32 |

| snapdata | Hi. My browsers (through html5 or direct input) work with PulseAudio just fine. However, when Flash utilizes a microphone I do not see a recording source in pavucontrol. Any input is greatly appreciated, I've been searching the forum and googling for hours and have yet to find any information at all. | 16:33 |
| jrib | OptiWork: so if you remove this .override file and compile your settings again, does the file get recreated? | 16:33 |
| FreeRun | i think yes... i have upgraded from 10.04 lts | 16:33 |
| FreeRun | when everything works fine | 16:33 |
| FacedeProut | everything worked fined in 10.04... | 16:34 |
| FreeRun | and maybe important thing is that i'm running it on mac book pro 3.1 | 16:34 |
| theadmin | snapdata: methinks Flash uses ALSA directly, I have no idea if they have any pulse support | 16:34 |
| OptiWork | jrib: it would just compile without error but also with the "standard" launcher items | 16:34 |
| === jiugantangmaiwu is now known as bycwsxd | ||
| OptiWork | snapdata: does pulseaudio show that flash is trying to use the correct "recording" device when the flash is running? | 16:35 |

| bakarat | i had a hd die on me and i took it out of the pc, now i'm trying to boot the pc without a harddisk, just from live cd, but the computer doesn't budge, do you _need_ a harddisk just to boot? | 16:36 |
| OptiWork | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/978213/ | 16:37 |

| theadmin | alesan: moonlight | 16:39 |

| alesan | theadmin, irv so I install it in apt-get? | 16:39 |
| auronandace | !moonlight | alesan | 16:39 |
| ubottu | alesan: For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. | 16:39 |
| irv | or perhaps a way to tell nautilus to go to a particular path by specifying the path? | 16:40 |
| alesan | E: Unable to locate package moonlight-plugin-mozilla | 16:40 |
| apan_ | bakarat: no, thanks anyway | 16:40 |
| alesan | auronandace, that command does not work | 16:40 |
| theadmin | irv: That one is possible, just "nautilus /opt" (replace /opt with your path) | 16:40 |

| Si2100 | Hi GUys, i have a problem with Ubuntu Server 12.04... The Static IP keeps dropping connection on Reboot | 16:44 |
| OmaR | good afternoon | 16:45 |
| theadmin | bakarat: what is your problem exactly? | 16:45 |
| auronandace | bakarat: elaboration requested | 16:46 |
| OmaR | first time here installed ubuntu 11.10 on a usb and it doesnt want to shut down | 16:46 |
| wylde | bakarat: you can boot without a hard disk using a few methods. A CD/USB using a live system, or booting from a remote server LTSP/PXE boot. | 16:47 |
| theadmin | OmaR: Happens from time to time, appending "reboot=bios" to the kernel line should help | 16:47 |
| bakarat | auronandace, theadmin, well, about a week ago, my hd died. the pc could still boot (i could access bios etc). i took the hd out to another pc to recover data as much as possible. now -after a week of doing nothing- i'm trying to boot the old pc without a hd (to check if it supports usb-based boot) but when i fire it up, the fan spins for about half a turn, you hear it doing something for a millisecond, then it just does nothing. there is no | 16:47 |
| bakarat | output at all, i can't access bios or anything | 16:47 |
| me-1 | hi... can Ubuntu 12.4 iso fit on a CD...? | 16:48 |
| jpds | me-1: Of course. | 16:48 |
| Tux | bakarat, that most likely suggests complete hardware failure then | 16:48 |
| OmaR | sweet it seems to save changes fine I want to set it up to recover windows | 16:48 |
| theadmin | me-1: Surely, it's intended to. | 16:48 |
| bakarat | Tux, that's what i'm starting to think as well, though i find it odd that it did boot even after the hd was dead, but now does nothing at all anymore | 16:48 |
| wylde | bakarat: if you had the case open fiddling with things check to make sure everything is still seated correctly (can I assume you took proper static precautios?) | 16:49 |
| theadmin | me-1: Pretty much all Linux distros fit on a CD, and if they don't they usually do say it's a DVD image | 16:49 |
| me-1 | jpds, theadmin but its 701 mb where cds only have 700 mb capicty | 16:49 |
| wylde | precautions* | 16:49 |
| jpds | me-1: Where did you get the image from? | 16:49 |
| bakarat | wylde, ye, i think i'll need to take it apart and put it back together again (i "think" i take proper static precautions) | 16:49 |
| irv | so it appears as though unity is broken in my failed half 11.10/12.04 install. is there a way to launch a diff window manager from the login screen? | 16:49 |

| me-1 | jpds, ubuntu.com downloading now and DAP telling me its 701.29 MB | 16:50 |
| wylde | bakarat: just make sure you touch the case before touching any cards if you don't have an anti-static strap. | 16:50 |
| theadmin | jpds: Confirmed: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso - Chromium says "701MB". | 16:50 |
| theadmin | Nevertheless I think it's supposed to fit on a CD anyway %) | 16:50 |

| Tux | Personally, I have an Atheros wireless card that works "out of the box" on my Ubuntu machine | 16:56 |
| Chuck_Norris | np | 16:56 |
| Tux | peppermint_, can we get the output of lspci | 16:57 |
| Tux | I badly need to hook my machine to the internet with Ethernet then I can (possibly) run 100% open source on it | 16:57 |
| mafiaboy | the only thing that was keeping me away from ubuntu was broadcom-STA | 16:57 |
| peppermint_ | could anyone help me with connecting with my wlan in peppermin 2? I installed the additional (broadcom) driver | 16:58 |
| mafiaboy | going to reboot now | 16:58 |
| mafiaboy | hope it will work | 16:58 |
| theadmin | peppermint_: Peppermint is not a supported Ubuntu derivative, sorry, please try searching for their channel. | 16:58 |
| peppermint_ | I did, and no one was there and they said you guys might be able to help | 16:58 |
| auronandace | peppermint_: its not supported here | 16:59 |
| cremetorte | i have problems using autotools to create makefiles and stuff.. can anyone recommend a good channel for that? | 16:59 |
| auronandace | peppermint_: it may be based on ubuntu but that doesn't mean we can support it, we don't know what changes have been made | 16:59 |

| auronandace | Traumatizer: what problems you having? | 17:02 |
| mafiaboy | thanx guys got .......wireless working first time (not broadcom-STA this time) | 17:03 |
| Traumatizer | auronadace what problems am I NOT having is a better question. I'm booting it from USB, half of the times it just exits with some vague error. Sometimes sound-card than USB-Hub ext_2 error or something and when it starts. In stead of installing to the HDD it wants to install ubuntu on the USB drive! | 17:04 |
| Traumatizer | I even checked the disc using the buil-in tool and it is fine. | 17:04 |
| jagginess | cremetorte, dpkg -L automake -- there's a imfmk/ or something like that to parse IMakefiles | 17:04 |
| Traumatizer | Again, it just says it failed "Starting restore sound card mixer state" has failed. It continues doing it's other stuff and than just stops at: 'Stopping System V runlevel compatability' even though it is reported [OK] | 17:05 |

| econdudeawesome | Howdy all. Running Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome Classic. The Alt+right click trick to bring up alternative options for the quick launch bar is not working. How to remove items from the quick launcher? | 17:06 |
| jagginess | econdudeawesome, i'm not sure about that.. but i suspect it may have something to do with /etc/xdg/autostart | 17:08 |
| Traumatizer | Yea apparently these are known problems auronandace, well it's clear to me that ubuntu doesn't want more users. It really looked like a great linux distro i'll just go back to debian at least that works | 17:08 |

| mafiaboy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/978277/ | 17:09 |
| jagginess | Chuck_Norris, econdudeawesome. | 17:09 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: its good we all have a choice of what to use | 17:09 |
| Chuck_Norris | me no comprender jagginess | 17:09 |
| jagginess | mafiaboy, apt-get install xw:i386 ? | 17:10 |
| Traumatizer | Yea auronandace, i'm happy I do. So I won't be forced to use an OS that advertises itself as 'user friendly' but is the exact opposite | 17:10 |
| matriz | hi all, how can i run a script or program when i insert an usb stick? | 17:10 |
| jagginess | matriz, has to do with udev, it's not for the faint of hearted | 17:11 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: couldn't be more opinionated to volunteers who have nothing to do with the development eh? | 17:11 |
| matriz | jagginess: thnks i'll google it, is it the only way? | 17:11 |
| balhau | Hello people. Somebody here familiar with the bluetooth stack? | 17:12 |
| jagginess | matriz, probably not, there's also dbus, but I don't know if its possible to bind scripts to hal/dbus policy files | 17:12 |
| nomiz | Does anyone share my problem with Unity's Launcher, which doesn't show the active instances of an app when clicking on its icon? | 17:12 |
| jagginess | matriz, the keyword for dbus, is dbus policy when doing a google | 17:12 |
| matriz | jagginess: thnks again, just found the UsbDriveDoSomethingHowto docs | 17:13 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace the problem is. Ubuntu is screwing ya all over. On their website they even put a guide on how to install it specifically on my laptop, while it's clear they haven't even tested it. Because by using google i found it this is a problem with a graphic card, so they know the graphic card in this laptop gives a bug at start-up yet they still claim it works on it. | 17:13 |
| Traumatizer | If i were you I would distantiate yourself as far away from this stupid distro as possible auronandace. | 17:14 |
| econdudeawesome | jagginess: not so much. Any other ideas where the settings might be stored/ | 17:14 |
| econdudeawesome | ? | 17:14 |
| nomiz | :) | 17:14 |
| econdudeawesome | jagginess: figured it out. Now its super+alt+rightclick.... | 17:14 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: thats my choice, i'm sorry your experience has made you bitter | 17:14 |
| jagginess | econdudeawesome, it can be something with a directory called "autostart" somewhere in ~ | 17:14 |
| econdudeawesome | what a strange way to go about it | 17:14 |
| jagginess | econdudeawesome, what does that do? | 17:15 |
| irv | is there a command line flag to launch nautilus with the 'show hidden files' option turned on? | 17:15 |
| jagginess | irv, probably you can make a desktop link to a script that calls gconf, and have gconf enable/disable that feature | 17:16 |
| econdudeawesome | jagginess: brings up the alternative menu to remove icons from the gnome classic quick launch menu | 17:16 |
| Chuck_Norris | econdudeawesome: you wanna see all yours star up applications? | 17:16 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace, bitter? There are no words to describe how enraged I am at Ubuntu. I spent 5 hours downloading this distro, because I knew it was going to work. Only to be prompted with an error because my graphic card isn't recognized | 17:16 |
| econdudeawesome | Chuck_Norris: no, not start up. Quick launch in Gnome Classic. | 17:16 |
| econdudeawesome | Chuck_Norris: but I found the solution | 17:16 |
| Chuck_Norris | econdudeawesome: ok | 17:16 |
| irv | jagginess: i'm trying to just launch it once | 17:16 |
| eddytv | Gonna ask once more: any grub/mdadm experts in the channel? Have a server that won't boot to md0 after one of the mirrors has failed. | 17:16 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: graphics cards can be problematic, what card do you use? | 17:16 |
| irv | jagginess: for some reason in my broken install the nautilus doesn't have a menu bar and ctrl+h doesn't work for hidden files | 17:17 |
| jagginess | irv, try apt-get install gnome-shell .. dunno if that can help (or maybe apt-get --reinstall install gnome-shell , which may take a long time) | 17:18 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace, Intel GMA series. | 17:18 |
| jagginess | irv, try running nautilus from an xterm box, and see for any error/warning messages | 17:18 |
| irv | will do. | 17:18 |
| jagginess | irc, (a more immediate avenue) | 17:18 |
| irv | it's so broken that i can't even interact with the terminals | 17:18 |
| irv | :s | 17:18 |
| irv | but i just found a workaround i think.. launched nautilus as root and i was able to navigate to the path | 17:19 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: hmm, i've not seen many problems from intel cards (i don't use them, just not seen many others with trouble) | 17:19 |
| irv | and the menus show up as root | 17:19 |
| === jsoa_ is now known as jsoa | ||
| jagginess | that's no good, go to tty1, and try apt-get --reinstall install gnome-shell | 17:19 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: how new is it? | 17:19 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace it's in a laptop that is ~2 years old | 17:20 |
| jagginess | irv, is this supposed to be 12.04 or you using mixed repos? | 17:20 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: is the intel card the only graphics card in there? | 17:20 |
| khaos | hi guys how to enable unity bar icons animation? | 17:20 |
| Traumatizer | Quoted from the ubuntu forums: "System V runlevel error can only occur when your graphic card isn't recognized" | 17:20 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace yes it is | 17:20 |
| abhinav_singh | when i am trying to update using apt-get update ..i am getting this errors..how do i fix it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/978295/ | 17:20 |
| mr_lou | Is there any way I can work directly on/with files located on a network drive? | 17:20 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: most strange, what is the exact model? | 17:21 |
| Chuck_Norris | i use gnome shell in a intel 128 with dual core 2.0 ghz and works fantastic | 17:21 |
| dragonfly | Traumatizer, have you tried plugging an external monitor into the monitor port on the back of the laptop, I had a laptop once that didn't recognize the builtin monitor by default, but an external monitor worked and I was able to configure it from there | 17:22 |
| gaston_ | does someone know how to install vlc 1.1.9 on 12.04? | 17:22 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace, Asus EEE PC 1005HA | 17:22 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: sorry, i meant the intel card | 17:23 |
| Mrokii | Hi all. I have installed indicator-multiload (to show CPU load), but it doesn't show up in the upper bar. What could be the problem? | 17:23 |
| khaos | hi guys how to enable unity bar icons animation? | 17:23 |
| dragonfly | gaston_, looks like it might be a connection issue...or, are you using the default settings for the repositories | 17:23 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace, my bad: GMA 950 | 17:23 |
| AyaneForever | khaos, have you tried poking around in myUnity | 17:23 |
| AyaneForever | Or Ubuntu-Tweak or ccsm | 17:24 |
| dragonfly | Traumatizer, I have that exact model of comptuer Eee 1005HA...I use an old version of netbook remix on it and it works flawlessly :S | 17:24 |
| Traumatizer | dragonfly: Let me try that. But if i Install it than, won't it still not recognize it? | 17:24 |
| khaos | AyaneForever, is this an app? | 17:24 |
| rockets | Is there a way to open a "run" box in Ubuntu 12.04 to run a single terminal command? | 17:24 |
| Traumatizer | dragonfly, really strange. | 17:24 |
| AyaneForever | Yes. You are referring to changing the animation options of the panel on the left, right? It's my USC | 17:24 |
| khaos | in my one pc the animations works ok but in the other not | 17:24 |
| AyaneForever | ** It's in Ubuntu Software Centre | 17:24 |
| khaos | without any additional package AyaneForever | 17:25 |
| irv | rockets: alt+f2 | 17:25 |
| rockets | irv, thanks d00d | 17:25 |
| khaos | AyaneForever, thanks | 17:25 |
| irv | rockets: np, it actually saved me in recovering these documents juts now | 17:25 |
| irv | :d | 17:25 |
| dragonfly | Traumatizer, I haven't upgraded it because I like the way the launcher is for netbook remix for that small screen it works great for what I use it for. I haven't tried a newer version on it but don't see any reason 12.04 wouldn't work | 17:25 |
| rockets | hehe | 17:25 |
| irv | handy lil shortcut | 17:25 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: and you are trying 12.04 right? | 17:25 |
| Traumatizer | auronadace 11.10, because that was the version they used in the guide on the ubuntu website | 17:26 |
| Traumatizer | I thought the newer version might not be compatible | 17:26 |
| irv | Traumatizer: probably haven't written new documentation yet | 17:26 |
| irv | 12.04 only came out a few weeks ago | 17:26 |
| gaston_ | dragonfly: i am trying to install old version, i have 2.0.1 already | 17:27 |
| gaston_ | but a functionnality i need is broken | 17:27 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: i'd expect 12.04 may work better, lts releases tend to get better testing | 17:27 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace, ok than I will try that. I'm at school they have ridiculously fast internet. It will probably be downloaded in like an hour :) | 17:27 |
| dekuked | hey, what does this mean?: https://gist.github.com/2646954 | 17:28 |

| kgee | irv: would there be a login script/hook I could use to automate this? | 17:37 |
| intrader | on 11.10 - I have installed conpizconfig-settings-manager and rebooted. I don't see any difference in the appearance setting app. What should I see there? | 17:37 |
| kgee | irv: in therory, yes. In practise, I imagine it has to do with my ssh public key not having my local user password | 17:38 |
| zykotic10 | intrader: try running "ccsm" | 17:38 |
| intrader | zykotic10, sudo? | 17:38 |

| intrader | zykotic10, aha - is that available via gui? | 17:40 |
| zykotic10 | intrader: unity? i have no idea. | 17:40 |
| kgee | irv: it seems I just have to run the command line option in the readme, but I'd like to have a script automatically run on login. It could check for the encrypted volume on login, and only run the encrypted system mount option if the system was still encrypted | 17:40 |
| krababbel | kgee: put it in autostart? | 17:40 |
| irv | run on login to your ssh session? | 17:41 |

| dragonfly | kgee, can you relocate .bashrc and just put a ln -s to it in the home directory...then u can call it directly from the secondary location but it's still in ~ for when it is needed there? | 17:47 |
| dragonfly | fattobpee, what is the error message that you get? | 17:48 |
| kgee | dragonfly: yes! good idea. I would still need to have the operating system look for the login script at a place rather than the default ~/.bashrc though. How do I change this default? | 17:48 |

| Traumatizer | It recognized backtrack as a previous ubuntu installation since it's ubuntu based haha; auronandace | 18:21 |

| Traumatizer | auronandace, i figured that. Chose for the erase ubuntu 10.24 and reinstall :) | 18:22 |
| apn | can you apply this: "sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1" | 18:22 |
| nsd | Hi, I've got a printer I'm trying to use that since upgrading to 12.04, does not print color. I have tried the Gutenprint drivers, and I've now just tried the TurboPrint (non-free) drivers, and neither work. There is no option to print greyscale as far as I can see in the Gutenprint driver, but there is such an option in TurboPrint, and I've set it to color. Anyone have any ideas? Anything I can try? Google isn't helping me on this one | 18:23 |
| apn | Zentaur, you can also unmount it before fsck "sudo umount /dev/sdb1 ; sudo fsck /dev/sdb1" | 18:23 |
| auronandace | Traumatizer: wise indeed, fresh installs are more straightforward and less error prone than upgrades | 18:23 |
| gaston_ | does someone know if i can install vlc 1.x on 12.04? | 18:23 |
| nsd | It's a Canon i850 using the parallel port | 18:23 |
| Traumatizer | auronandace glad I made the right decision. Gotta give credit to ubuntu though, the installer is ridiculously easy to use once it works haha and it looks great. | 18:24 |
| Zentaur | i tyed this "sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1" but no difference | 18:24 |
| apn | Zentaur, can you write on it as root? | 18:24 |
| auronandace | !yay | Traumatizer | 18:24 |
| ubottu | Traumatizer: Glad you made it! :-) | 18:24 |
| gaston_ | does someone know if i can install vlc 1.x on 12.04? | 18:25 |
| Zentaur | yes, i can write as root apn | 18:25 |
| llutz | Zentaur: you want to check permissions/ownership of the filesystem and adjust them using chown/chmod | 18:25 |
| apn | Zentaur, so it is mounted as rw :-) | 18:25 |

| apn | llutz, why? user is not part of default, and it will append it. | 18:27 |
| gaston_ | auronandace: mosaic functionnality is broken | 18:28 |
| llutz | apn: still makes no sense, read "man mount" what "user" option does | 18:28 |
| gaston_ | and i need it working by tmrw | 18:28 |
| nsd | Nobody? | 18:28 |
| auronandace | apn: what were you trying to accomplish there? | 18:28 |
| gaston_ | so tested tonight... | 18:28 |
| auronandace | gaston_: mosaic? new one on me | 18:28 |
| gaston_ | auronandace: i don't mind installing 10.04 if that solves it. | 18:28 |
| gaston_ | auronandace: mosaic? or that it's broken? | 18:29 |
| llutz | apn: to let users acces unix-filesystems like ext4 you use chown/chmod. thats what unix-permissions are for | 18:29 |

| llutz | foolove: ssh/scp won't allow that. if you could do it, your plain password would be readable in processlist and you don't want that | 18:56 |

| Pici | !resolvconf | have you seen this sigwhite | 19:07 |

| ArS0s | tiny_fan_ can you provide me a correct link to get usb creator? | 19:09 |
| sigwhite | Pici: Seen that. I tried adding google's DNS to the top of resolv.conf, I tried disabling dnsmasq, I tried using "DHCP (addresses only)" and adding the DNS servers there, ... I'm really at a loss. | 19:09 |
| ArS0s | is it a problem? | 19:10 |
| bob_ | having trouble seeing the launcher panel when booting off live cd 12.04, its kind of hard to try 12.04 with it, any help? | 19:10 |
| tiny_fan_ | Ars0S: usb-creator is a linux app, are u on win7? | 19:11 |
| Pici | sigwhite: Settings in /etc/network/interfaces are used now. Editing /etc/resolv.conf manually will result in issues. | 19:11 |
| sigwhite | Pici: The strange thing is: it worked at some point. I tried fiddling with "sudo dhclient" right after the update and it worked for a while. But then all of a sudden in the middle of a ping, it stopped working. And now it's gone. | 19:11 |
| llutz | sigwhite: add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base then run sudo resolvconf -u | 19:11 |
| Pici | sigwhite: llutz's suggestion works too. | 19:12 |
| sigwhite | Pici: I tried adding domain-name-servers in /etc/network/interfaces, but that didn't work. | 19:12 |

| OfficeITGuy149 | or can send me in the right direction? | 19:18 |
| EvilResistance | OfficeITGuy149, "Clickpad"? | 19:18 |
| sigwhite | llutz: In fact, even if I replace 127.0.0.1 with 8.8.8.8, ping still fails on the name. | 19:18 |
| ix_ | llutz: you could open synaptic and see exactly | 19:18 |
| ix_ | I'm curious | 19:18 |
| FfoO | Have you tried its driver, OfficeITGuy149? | 19:19 |
| Pigr8 | llutz: the problem is that I cannot modify index.html, and cannot understand why | 19:19 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | Yes, I think that's the proper name of a trackpad that is also a button | 19:19 |
| tiny_fan_ | ArS0s: you'll have to burn the ubuntu iso to CD and boot off of it...then use the ubuntu installer to install to usb stick | 19:19 |
| Pici | sigwhite: does dig google.com @8.8.8.8 work? | 19:19 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | how do I find the correct driver for it? | 19:19 |

| emorris | OfficeITGuy149, fair enough. Was about to say I don't have problems but I don't use those features. Can sensitivity not be adjusted in the mouse and trackpad settings? By the way, I would have thought it's more likely that there just isn't the config options for it rather than a driver issue | 19:48 |
| sigwhite | krababbel: nm-tool says "Gateway: 192.168.1.1". Network Manager is on DHCP, so it says nothing. And I already went through mucking with resolv.conf to no avail. | 19:48 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | it might be config options, yes. I'm just looking for the solution | 19:49 |

| diverdude | When will php 5.4 be in the official ubuntu repo? | 22:03 |
| JonEdney | I've been wondering the same | 22:04 |
| xangua | !latest | diverdude | 22:04 |
| JonEdney | Not out of need, but curiosity. | 22:04 |
| ubottu | diverdude: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 22:04 |
| diverdude | 5.4 is not experimental or anything | 22:04 |
| diverdude | its stable software | 22:04 |
| pseudonymous | diverdude: not the point. Just because the PHP package is stable does not necessarily mean the upgrade will not cause issues with other pieces of software (such as Apache, Nginx or any one of the MANY php modules) | 22:05 |
| Zuhaitz | pseudonymous, hehe, ok... | 22:06 |
| diverdude | pseudonymous: so when will it be stable enough for ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| JonEdney | I THINK (don't quote me) you could compile it yourself, but thats way over my skill level. | 22:07 |
| OerHeks | diverdude, this ppa is populair, but my advice is to wait >> http://www.king-foo.be/2012/01/php-5-4-whats-new/ | 22:07 |
| mattbillenstein | anyone have any suggestions on correcting the setuid bit on /usr/bin/sudo ? | 22:07 |
| diverdude | OerHeks: i already have a good ppa | 22:07 |
| bodobob | why is no easy way for a peristence file in LiveCD distro. and why does the "handmade" (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence) peristence file will not wil find alone at booting ubuntu, like puppy linux *.2fs file or like salix and so on? itś angry to lose after some hour "setup" this and not able to realy work with the distro! | 22:07 |
| pseudonymous | diverdude: usually, most distributions adopt a "feature freeze" of sorts where packages, as mentioned beforehand, only get updated if they contain security fixes deemed necessary and worth the time. Otherwise, around the next distro release ? :) (I'm not so much a *buntu user) | 22:07 |
| diverdude | OerHeks: and php 5.4 is running smoothly...which is also why im wondering why its not in the repo | 22:08 |
| OerHeks | diverdude, oke, maybe the info below the ppa is any value too. | 22:08 |
| OerHeks | diverdude, me 2 | 22:08 |
| diverdude | I considered switching to fedora actually...they have a bit more sane approach towards software in the repo :) | 22:09 |
| diverdude | afaik | 22:09 |
| JonEdney | It's possible for the same reason many web hosts aren't using Apache 2.4 yet and are still running 2.2.2; while it's available and stable, it's not "production ready", even though it may seem like it. | 22:09 |
| OerHeks | JonEdney, true, but 4 months .. | 22:10 |
| diverdude | weird | 22:10 |

| devurandom | Hi! | 22:16 |
| TimR | I've not had problems with it until recently when I moved the computer from one location to another. When I plug the secondary into the bottom (arranged top and bottom), the monitor shows no signal. | 22:16 |

| wilee-nilee | dvguy, Yeah looks like cli version I googled that with a gui and found this. http://dvgrabgui.sourceforge.net/ | 22:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kevin^^: yes | 22:45 |
| kieppie | remmina throws a core dump | 22:45 |
| kevin^^ | DarwinSurvivor: alright. thanks | 22:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kieppie: please state the *problem* you are having and include a full output of any errors | 22:46 |
| dontknow | OerHeks, i see, thanks | 22:46 |
| wilee-nilee | dvguy, never used it though I'm just the messenger. :D | 22:46 |
| nikitakit | Jordan_U: a package can ask its own questions in the bug report process. The question is who to contact: wacom project or apport? | 22:46 |
| dvguy | wilee-nilee, Thanks for the help. It looks like I'm just gonna have to wait until I get back to my workstation. Sure would be nice to have Premiere Pro on Ubuntu. | 22:47 |
| kieppie | upgraded/new install of 12.04, install remmina, transferred old configured nodes, run remmina, bomb - "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | nikitakit: I don't know. Maybe someone in #ubuntu-bugs can clarify the situation. | 22:47 |

| Bushi86 | hello everyone, I am trying to fix my wifi on Ubuntu 12.04x64. I can connect to my home network, but Internet does not work. Also, the connection drops every now and then. My wifi card uses the rt2800pci chipset. I have tried many of the suggestions on ubuntuforums.org, but I haven't had any luck yet.

| BLZbubba | what app do I use to connect to a precise desktop for "remote sharing" ? | 22:48 |
| wilee-nilee | dvguy, Yeah, I suspect there is a compatible or close, but it may be a cli thang at this point, I have never used the adobe version, so just guessing | 22:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nikitakit: can you do an "apt-cache search xserver-xorg-input-wacom" and tell us if the package even exists anymore? it could be triggered by the fact that there is no longer a wacom package in precise to file the bug report against | 22:48 |
| goddard | how do i connect a bluetooth device in kde? | 22:49 |
| dvguy | wilee-nilee, Yeah, I heard that Kdenlive was able to do it, but it just sits at 'initializing' and never does anything beyond that. Not a big deal, just love Ubuntu and wanted to be productive while I'm away from home. :) | 22:49 |
| trism_ | Jordan_U: DarwinSurvivor, it is just the generic xorg apport package hook | 22:50 |
| trung | OerHeks: Thank you for that link! | 22:50 |
| OerHeks | trung have fun | 22:50 |

| BLZbubba | kieppie: i am looking at a dialog in precise called "Desktop Sharing" and I'm trying to figure out how to use it. i.e. can i connect to this machine with rdesktop? | 22:56 |
| BLZbubba | looks like it is "vino" not remmina | 22:56 |

| Bushi86 | hello everyone, I am trying to fix my wifi on Ubuntu 12.04x64. I can connect to my home network, but Internet does not work. Also, the connection drops every now and then. My wifi card uses the Ralink rt2800pci chipset. I have tried many of the suggestions on ubuntuforums.org, but I haven't had any luck yet. I don't know what to do next, so I would really like some help! | 22:58 |
| bjoessi | Ok, perhaps I should get to the point what I need trouble shooting for: I have set my wlan connection as "Shared with other computers", but when I connect the eth2 where the client is, I loose internet access | 22:59 |
| kyrion | hey whats the best irc client for ubuntu | 22:59 |
| kyrion | ? | 22:59 |
| bjoessi | the eth2 is connected to a router on its wan port | 23:00 |
| BLZbubba | kyrion: i use the text mode irssi | 23:00 |
| Reborg | kyrion, i like irssi | 23:00 |
| kieppie | BLZbubba: the default "desktop sharing" protocol for POSIX (Ubuntu, Linux, Mac) is VNC. RDP is a windows protocol (more efficient than VNC IMHO). but if you don't need the whole desktop & only a single app, then remote-X is a great solution | 23:00 |
| Reborg | yeah | 23:00 |
| BLZbubba | that is going to be a personal preference | 23:01 |
| BLZbubba | kieppie: after i enable desktop sharing, how do I get it to start listening on 5900? | 23:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bjoessi: please describe your routing (ex: client computer wan => ubuntu wan -> ubuntu lan => router lan -> router wan => internet) | 23:01 |
| kieppie | BLZbubba: not sure under new OS, sorry - I make use of remote-X, since it's one less protocol/damon pulling my machine/network down | 23:02 |
| kyrion | BLZubba, Reborg, thanks | 23:03 |
| Reborg | :) | 23:03 |
| bjoessi | *the internet* -> router -> this computer wlan2 -> this computer eth2 -> router | 23:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bjoessi: so you are connnecting 2 routers together? | 23:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bjoessi: using your ubuntu box? | 23:04 |
| kieppie | so? anyone else here have anything on remmina, please? want to check if its an issue or just me. `sudo apt-get install remmina && remmina` | 23:04 |
| heoa | E: Package 'libmagick9-dev' has no installation candidate | 23:04 |
| bjoessi | DarwinSurvivor: I am trying to extend the wifi another building, but the signal is weak from the first router | 23:05 |
| heoa | <--- getting this kind of err and did "$ sudo apt-get update" but still not found, which is new version? | 23:05 |
| bjoessi | so behind the second router is where I plan to connect the clients in this building | 23:05 |
| kieppie | bjoessi: DarwinSurvivor: look at repeater - dd-wrt | 23:05 |
| alusion | Hello I was wondering if crashplan is supported in 12.04 LTS | 23:05 |
| alusion | I had some bugs installing it before. | 23:05 |
| kieppie | bjoessi: every repeat/hop will add latency & halve speed, but better than nothing | 23:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bjoessi: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge may work, but I don't think you'll get wifi off the third router | 23:07 |
| krababbel | bjoessi: I'd disable nat on the second router | 23:07 |
| bjoessi | DarwinSurvivor: But the annoying thing is that it worked just fine before | 23:07 |
| HoNgOuRu | hi | 23:07 |
| bjoessi | and I haven | 23:08 |
| kieppie | DarwinSurvivor: bjoessi: also, google cantenna & printable shield | 23:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bjoessi: you would either need 1) a router with dual antenas, which are not that expensive 2) a third router to plug into the second 3) just use wired clients on the second router | 23:08 |
| bjoessi | and I havent changed anything in the router | 23:08 |
| HoNgOuRu | now I lose the subwofer after the first song | 23:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bjoessi: do you need wirelss at the secondary location? | 23:08 |
| HoNgOuRu | is I switch souncards with pavucontrol and come back to the previous soundcard the subwoffer activates again | 23:08 |
| alusion | Dropbox is having some issues in 12.04 | 23:09 |
| Resistance | alusion, such as? | 23:09 |
| kieppie | DarwinSurvivor: bjoessi: http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/ | 23:09 |
| bjoessi | DarwinSurvivor: not crucial, but since I did have it before I kind of got used to it | 23:09 |
| krababbel | DarwinSurvivor: does it really matter, if ubuntu acts as a switch between them. I had no problems with such a setup | 23:09 |
| alusion | Resistance, I had an OSError when installing the proprietary daemon and it is unable to open | 23:10 |
| alusion | Also it just keeps closing unexpectedly | 23:10 |
| Resistance | alusion, might talk to their support about that, or run it via terminal to see detailed error outputs and the likes | 23:10 |
| K350 | I'm visually handicaped and need help to see a verification image - anyone? | 23:10 |
| krababbel | bjoessi: I'd bridge the interfaces on ubuntu and disable nat on the second one, to avoid double nat, which is said to cause problems. Although it worked for me | 23:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | krababbel: with kieppies suggestion of using dd-wrt, it would eliminate the ubuntu laptop | 23:11 |
| alusion | Mkay I sent in an error report and I'll check with em to see whatsup, do they operate on IRC btw? | 23:11 |
| === harmagent is now known as vector | ||
| krababbel | DarwinSurvivor: laptop? I'm not sure of the setup here :) a direct connection between the two routers would be easier, but maybe he wants to use the ubuntu box as a firewall between them? | 23:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | krababbel: if you know enough networking to get him going with his old configuration, i'll leave you to it. dd-wrt is just the way that *I* know how to do it :P | 23:12 |
| bjoessi | krababbel, and when you say disable nat on the second one, you mean in the second router? or on my nic? | 23:12 |
| krababbel | bjoessi: the second router | 23:12 |
| bjoessi | I guess you mean in the router | 23:12 |
| bjoessi | ok. I believe I have already done so, but I will check again. | 23:13 |
| krababbel | bjoessi: do you need the PC in between as a router? | 23:13 |
| krababbel | DarwinSurvivor: I had a second router behind the first, and both gave wifi access to the internet. | 23:14 |

| bjoessi | but ill go back to tinker on my own... see you around! | 23:15 |
| krababbel | bjoessi: yes, that's what I had in mind. If you wanted a wifi connection then it would be different. ethernet lan of the first goes to wan on the second router | 23:15 |
