[00:00] 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] 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] 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. [00:01] forced* [00:03] wylde: Well it's upgrading now with do-release-upgrade -d. Hopefully it will JustWork [00:04] soreau: only issue I ran into was reconfiguring a couple of packages on my "server" machine. [00:06] 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] though I usually just tell that to people in general support [00:07] 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] 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] wylde: I assume if you don't know what you're doing, things could get messy pretty quick ;) [00:07] wylde, soreau chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [00:08] Hey guys, anyone using Kazam for screen capture? [00:08] IdleOne: alrighty [00:08] IdleOne: Excuse me sir, I am getting support upgrading from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS [00:08] soreau: all I see is you complaining about Unity (again) and talking about what you usually recommend. [00:09] DX099: sorry, but I can't think of anything else to do to resolve your issue. [00:09] 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] DarwinSurvivor, :/. Thanks anyway for trying [00:09] IdleOne: Please don't start with me [00:10] soreau: ok. I won't [00:10] Thank you. [00:11] oh, he left. I was going to suggest trying gnome's irc channel (not on freenode though) :( [00:11] hey [00:11] I'm on AMD Phenom II X6 4 GB RAM gear. Shoud I use 32 bits or 64 bits distro? [00:12] def'ly 64bit [00:12] k1lumin4t1, why wouldn't you use 64bit? [00:12] szal, what about packaged availability? [00:12] BrianH, I dunno, that's what I'm asking... What about packages? [00:12] unless you absolutely need something that is available for 32bit only AND doesn't play nice on 64bit [00:12] k1lumin4t1: 64 [00:13] k1lumin4t1, it's practically the same. Is there something in particular you don't think will run? [00:13] BrianH, not a clue at the moment [00:14] BrianH, I work a lot with audio apps [00:14] k1lumin4t1, I have the X4 and run 64 bit, never had a problem. [00:14] BrianH, and software development and design apps [00:14] BrianH, nice [00:14] I'm on linux mint at the moment [00:14] linux mint 12 [00:14] but.... it's not doing ok [00:14] so I'm going with ubuntu 12.04 [00:14] heck, even most proprietary stuff is available in 64bit nowadays [00:15] linux mint has 3 issues I cant bear hacking [00:15] k1lumin4t1: ??? [00:15] what is it k1lumin4t1 [00:15] if I want hacking I then go with debian [00:16] / [00:16] pibarnas, ? [00:16] fishcooker, what is it what? [00:16] and I'd absolutely recommend spending the €20 (or equivalent in other currency) on an upgrade to 8 GB RAM [00:16] hacking what? [00:16] szal, I have 12 GB [00:16] k1lumin4t1: what are them? [00:16] they* [00:16] heck I just got 16GB in 2*8 1600mhz dimms for $99 [00:16] k1lumin4t1: you said 4 GB above [00:16] fishcooker, pibarnas: OpenGL won't work with my Geforce 7000 and it used to work [00:17] fishcooker, pibarnas: it isn't doing clean restarts [00:17] szal, I made a mistake [00:17] in fact [00:17] again nVidia package issue [00:17] it isn't restarting at all [00:17] hhmmmm, not only on ubuntu on fed* [00:17] fishcooker, I'm using the driver from the webpage [00:17] also [00:17] what? === mongo_ is now known as mongo [00:18] k1lumin4t1: what versio [00:18] hey [00:18] Hello all...I'm having trouble with my Intel connections , both wired and wireless.

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] nav-3.7.0 [00:24] fishcooker: Same dell? [00:24] k1lumin4t1: will probably take months for ubuntu to get a working driver in their repo knowing them [00:24] !info nav [00:24] Package nav does not exist in precise [00:24] nope ASus here [00:24] fishcooker: you would probably be fine with regular ubuntu by adding $20 worth of ram... [00:24] fishcooker: P4? [00:24] i3 [00:24] :p [00:24] 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] fishcooker: I meant, would this computer run it well. [00:24] avinashhm: cool! [00:25] ubuntu in a box in a box! [00:25] :) [00:25] Jynks: just use the 'other' option and choose the right partition [00:25] p4 with lubuntu ficarra1002.. will be good [00:25] 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] Jynks: sure, just delete the ubuntu partitions, then reinstall to the free space [00:25] any suggestions pls ? [00:25] krababbel: yeah this is what i was going to do.. but dose that re-do the grub installer you think? [00:25] linxeh, :) [00:25] Jynks: it should [00:25] avinashhm: virtualbox by default NAT's everything, so the guest can connect outwards, but nothing can connect to the guest [00:25] use host only network avinashhm [00:25] fish Would it work fine with xubuntu? [00:25] 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] krababbel: ok thanks mate... [00:25] 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] avinashhm: looks like networking setup in the VM isnt quite right.

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] i'd like to combat those errors [00:28] 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] xemino: could force install the deb [00:28] whoever: since it is what?

[00:29] yes* [00:30] whoever: does it affect all users (make a new user if needed to test) [00:30] what is the command line to list all users on ubuntu [00:30] cat /etc/passwd [00:30] thanks linxeh , DarwinSurvivor , fishcooker [00:30] avinashhm: on problem, had the same issue when *I* was using virtualbox :P [00:30] unless you are using ad/ldap/nis [00:31] mongo: thanks. [00:32] DarwinSurvivor, yeah .. i can't believe i wasted half a day with this issue :-) .. thanks very much for helping out [00:32] my pleaser :P [00:32] pleasure [00:32] omg [00:33] fail [00:33] invinciblemutant: cat /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f1 [00:33] 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 [00:34] thanks ActionParsnip [00:34] ActionParsnip: I thought there will be a standard command for it [00:35] ActionParsnip: cat command is just amazing [00:35] 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 :?

[00:36] smw, I had to set the hda model to laptop-eapd in alsa-base.conf. Thanks for the "help" [00:37] ActionParsnip: i have user called statd which is created after my username [00:37] invinciblemutant: chronological in what way? [00:37] accending order by time users are added [00:37] xemino: xfs write has always been iffy [00:38] invinciblemutant: I guess its added as services etc are aded. I have one named dnsmasq after mine, so makes sense [00:38] 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] hmm yeah, strange thing is it worked under 11.04, before i fucked up my install by upgrading to 12.04 [00:38] Na_Klar, thanks, perhaps the will fix my computer ;-) [00:39] ActionParsnip, hey do you have your cool addition on installs I believe to the /etc/sysctl.conf handy. [00:40] xemino: check the disk in osx [00:40] it may be marked as dirty [00:40] oh right [00:40] thanks [00:40] i did unmount it cleanly, but who knows [00:41] clear [00:41] xemino: you could try hpfxck [00:41] damn, why can't i launch nautilus via sudo?

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] then i could do something with that [00:45] will just do it via vnc, feels dirty but who cares :) [00:45] Thanks [00:45] DX099: ah. good to know!

[00:52] 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] any tips before i go messing up 100 times before i get somewhere? :) [00:52] ubukou: you mean "move a file to a new directory"? [00:52] DarwinSurvivor, yes i think we are talking about the same action i think [00:53] has it been done ? [00:53] ubukou: so you're not editing the video or anything, just moving a file from one folder to another...? [00:53] 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 [00:54] DarwinSurvivor, yes.. and i need it to go to a directory named after the files i have chosen. [00:54] shinichi: please link us to the instructions you followed [00:54] ubukou: how familiar are you with the command line?

[00:55] DarwinSurvivor, i have been using linux for years.. not sure how complicated it can get. [00:55] whoever: is this a local printer, shared printer, or network printer? [00:55] DarwinSurvivor, im sure mkdir and mv should be some commands i need to use. [00:56] ubukou: you could probably use a simple bash function to do it.

[01:02] *a program [01:02] wylde, let me check that .. thanks a lot.. seems right. should i do mkdir $1 && mv $1 $1 ? [01:03] szal: To avoid having to reinstall. I accidentally did o-rx on it. [01:03] xtgyal: find has an --regex arg [01:03] wylde: you can't have a file and a folder and a file with the same name, so line 1 will fail [01:03] DarwinSurvivor: so true, my bad [01:03] I'm not sure what that means [01:03] is that a program I need to download?

[01:04] lol [01:04] wylde, DarwinSurvivor how about .*? [01:04] xtgyal: regex allows you to make more advanced searches using patterns: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/73/grep-based-on-multiple-keywords/ [01:04] xtgyal: in other words, it's already there [01:05] I tried the default Find, and also tried out Desktop Search, KFind, and Catfish, all are only one keyword at a time [01:05] oh ok that's in Terminal, is there a way to do that in GUI? [01:05] DarwinSurvivor, thanks using that guide I could make it work.

[01:08] 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] 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] Jordan_U: I know, I'm just rather distracted right now. [01:08] anyone here using firewall default deny outgoing, i have a question [01:08] i followed it except for the last part about the ntfs [01:09] ok I used cd to get to the directory, what is the grep or regex command to search for multiple keywords? [01:09] !ask | dontknow [01:09] 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).

[01:10] shinichi: ok, can you please re-state what you are doing and seeing at boot time? [01:10] 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] aJynks: recommended [01:10] xtgyal: that's in the link I posted to you [01:10] DarwinSurvivor, wylde thanks a lot too :) [01:10] i've chooese recommended one aJynks [01:11] I just installed ubuntu 12.04. What happened to autocomplete? Nothing except the very basic autocomplete works [01:11] wylde / fishcooker - ok then.. but what is the other one out of curiosity? [01:11] oh ok yeah I see it, just a sec then [01:11] DarwinSurvivor, wylde Jordan_U obelus i ll get back to you all. [01:11] go for it :p [01:11] 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] i mean win7 boots up., [01:11] shinichi: do you get the grub prompt? [01:12] after booting the external? no, it's just black screen, could it be a problem with grub? [01:12] when i used current one before login.. there would be a splash of nvidia at glance aJynks [01:12] 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 === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance [01:13] 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. [01:14] shinichi: ok, so you used the BIOS's "select harddrive" menu? [01:14] yes [01:14] is there a way to see actual online person number with xchat? [01:14] Weird... when I copied /etc/skel/.* ~ --- my autocomplete started working again [01:14] also tried changing the boot priority but the same thing happens [01:14] como ingreso al irc en español [01:14] hey, so any time I install something with software center I get an error saying it was not installed successfully, but it still installs [01:15] !es | hit [01:15] hit: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[01:16] xtgyal: cat will print the contents of the file to the console [01:16] mikere: why would you grep cat to grep? grep can open the files on its own!

[01:17] mikere: why would you pip cat to grep? grep can open the files on its own! [01:17] DarwinSurvivor: well, you learn something new every day [01:17] mikere: why would you pipe cat to grep? grep can open the files on its own! [01:17] there we go! [01:17] can someone explain to me what this statement is trying to do? /etc/apf/apf -f >> /dev/null 2>&1 [01:17] I'm not sure what that means either, I'm not an expert unfortunately :-( [01:17] its stopping the apf firewall and then? [01:18] 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] 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] *adobe [01:18] I'll post it to Ubuntu Forums see what they come up with I guess [01:18] DarwinSurvivor: so can you explain to xtgyal how to use it? [01:18] I tried the grep, but that looks like searching within a single file only [01:19] Are there any legit Java repos for 12.04? [01:19] gh0strider: Flash for mobile is dead, and Flash for Linux will be in the foreseeable future [01:19] what is the regex thing mentioned earlier? [01:19] 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] xtgyal: try cat * | grep "your search phrase" or something like that [01:19] xtgyal: you can search as many files as you want "grep patter file1 file2 file3 abunchoffiles*" [01:19] i mean there's no indicator whether i toggle caps lock in my netbook so i don't really know [01:19] szal: that may be true down the road in the future, but for now adobe flash is needed.. [01:20] mikere: grep "your search phrase" * [01:20] ohhhh [01:20] ok [01:20] lemme try the star [01:20] shinichi: are there any keys that control lights (num-lock, scroll-lock, etc)? [01:20] xtgyal: the * means all files in the directory. [01:20] yes, give me a min, I have to restart Terminal [01:20] 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] xtgyal: if you want to search in subfolders, use "grep -R" for recursive [01:21] 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] yes there are subfolders, thanks [01:21] 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] damn, got disconnected === ubuntu is now known as shinichi === shinichi is now known as shinichi_ [01:22] shinichi: did you get my last message about trying num-lock/etc?

[01:24] thomasd, download unetbootin [01:24] >> /etc/apf/apf -f >> /dev/null 2>&1 what is this trying to do?

[01:25] hmmm what adobe flash is used for android systems? since android is based on linux i was wondering if maybe it would be possible to get adobe flash to work on linux for arm processors [01:25] just a thought...

Is that normal? [01:26] what is the path to a mounted drive? [01:27] shinichi_: no, that's fully hardware controlled and won't tell us anything. [01:27] DarwinSurvivor: good point [01:27] like my drive is in the unity gfx thing but what is the cd / command to ge tther ein terminal [01:27] iananananan: Do you dislike 12.04 in general or just desktop, btw, I was installing server [01:27] 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? [01:27] aJynks: run "mount" or "df -h" to find out where things are currently mounted [01:28] i see..,there's nothing then.., :( [01:28] DarwinSurvivor, wylde Jordan_U obelus seems like thunar, if i understand correctly uses "%f" to use the file you are right clicking.. is there a chance i am right? [01:28] mikere, desktop. totally doesn't support my graphics card. hugely obnxious as I have no native VGA port on my mobo and i don't really want to put up with tinkering to get it working. [01:28] 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 [01:28] mikere, i'll stick to the fully functional 11.10 or earlier, thanks [01:28] shinichi_: can you try the external hdd in another computer? it could be a bios issue [01:28] DarwinSurvivor, neat thanks man [01:29] is there a legit java repo for 12.04? === root is now known as Guest8216 [01:29] ubukou: possibly, the $1 we were using is for passing a variable to a bash script. [01:29] iananananan: that's what I do at home - wait until I absolutely have to upgrade. I'm not a fan of the new UI, but at least for now there's a choice. [01:29] !java | mjrsnyder [01:29] mjrsnyder: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

[01:31] ARORA: there is also the #blenderchat channelu [01:32] mjrsnyder: open jdk is already on ubuntu repositories, i have never neded oracle/sun java at least [01:32] thank [01:32] hi all [01:32] hopefully someone can help with a simple issue [01:32] :) [01:32] uberbdon: just ask the question and find out =) [01:32] what dose it mean when an app has 2 versions GTK or QT? Dose it matter witch I should use?

[01:33] or GTK [01:33] uberbdon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:33] 12.04 doesnt really support Gnome natively [01:34] You have to fedangle it a bit [01:34] so what would i need to do to change the color scheme etc [01:34] shiman6: 12.04 comes with gnome 3.4 [01:34] I thought they ditched gnome destop? [01:34] 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] *desktop [01:34] 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] shiman6: unity is just a shell for gnome [01:34] what dose it mean when an app has 2 versions GTK or QT? Dose it matter witch I should use? [01:35] 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] Ooh. I understand now [01:35] steven_, ok thanks [01:35] so xangua, should i use GTK 3.0 themes? [01:35] im just not sure what to browse and download on gnomelook [01:35] uberbdon: you can use 'myunity' to change gtk/icon themes, fonts, etc [01:35] 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] hmm [01:35] !info myunity | uberbdon [01:35] uberbdon: myunity (source: myunity): Unity configurator.

Version 3.1.3-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 529 kB, installed size 1125 kB [01:36] i can get that in the ubuntu software center im guessing [01:36] uberbdon: you download gtk3 themes, but not everyone has unity compatibility [01:36] 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). [01:37] thanks for the help, xangua [01:38] how do I find out the default video format for a webcam? It wont say on the box [01:38] and i'm using 12.04 [01:38] is darwin still online?

[01:42] DarwinSurvivor, Is the "mount" point the cd\etc etc path or the /dev/ssbc1 type thing? [01:42] no i don't have any other linux machines..,this would be the first in my system [01:43] @darwinsurvivor I don't...see one.

I have the aesthetic look, downloaded it - installing it is the issue [01:45] shinichi_: ok, stay where you are then [01:45] ok [01:45] DarwinSurvivor, thanks again [01:45] reinholder: Control+H on nautilus to see hidden directories , search for .themes for gtk themes and .icons for icons [01:46] 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] oh my...that was awesome. o0 [01:46] shinichi_: can you open the external drive in gparted and post a screenshot of it? [01:46] Almost the same thing happening in Firefox except with mouse scrolling [01:46] Is there a way through the command line to view the default format of a usb camera? [01:46] 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 [01:47] doomrobo: is this a mouse with a wheel or a touchpad with a scroll area?

[01:47] DarwinSurvivor, well this happens with both mouse wheel and j [01:47] high [01:47] DarwinSurvivor, but does not happen in gVim [01:47] 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??

[01:51] aJynks: if you "man ln" without the quotes it gives you the syntax [01:51] hit_, what?! [01:51] aJynks: "ln [OPTION]... TARGET" is the second form [01:52] DarwinSurvivor: should i send the file to you? [01:53] 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] 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] Hi Guys...

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?)

[01:59] 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] 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 [02:00] reinholder: you can keep the super/windows key pressed to show you a useful guide of key combinations [02:00] oh thank christ for that I never thought I'd see the day when I'd beg for my beloved command line [02:00] What dose it call the link? [02:00] aJynks: so if you run that command in your home directory, the created link will reside in your home directory [02:00] 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] I am sory,i am a new to IRC [02:00] That's handy to know xangua, thank you [02:00] aJynks: it will be the exact same as the TARGET identifier [02:01] can anyone suggest a secure way to pass an ssh password to sshfs if i mount the remote server in rc.local [02:01] im using http://pastebin.com/gyTQnmuc [02:01] hi, pls help me guys... [02:01] 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] Thank you ubottu that article did the trick and i showed me what i was missing :) === dfsdfsdfsd is now known as Dios| [02:03] 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] 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 [02:04] shinichi_: sorry, someone came to the door :( [02:04] !pastebin | shinichi_ [02:04] shinichi_: 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.

I'll do that brb [02:04] what image bin? [02:06] I upgraded ubuntu to 12.04 and I see left menu in each dual monitor I want to set it only in main monitor. how can I fix it? [02:06] this one? http://imagebin.antiyes.com/805 [02:07] shinichi_: http://imagebin.org/?page/add [02:07] shinichi_: http://imagebin.org/?page=add [02:07] what ever happened to moving a window to the side and it covering half the screen for multitasking? [02:07] it was in the 12.04 beta [02:08] 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] here: http://imagebin.org/211602 [02:08] Hi support guys, pls help me on install bugzilla [02:08] Tecan: are you using unity or unity-2d¿ [02:09] unity [02:09] !details | user1 [02:09] user1: Please give us full details.

[02:10] shinichi_: ok, something definitely didn't get installed right! you have no '/' mountpoint or a '/boot' partition :( [02:10] Does anyone know how to get Minecraft to work?

See also !details, !gq, and !poll.

[02:11] woah..so, how do i fix it then? [02:11] How do I get Minecraft to work? [02:11] xangua: it is enabled [02:12] hello [02:12] aJynks: no problem! Remember, manpages are your friend! [02:12] someone can help me? [02:12] shinichi_: can you mount the drives in the live session and make a pastebin of what folders exist in which partitions (specifically sdb2 and sdb3)? [02:13] !ask | maum [02:13] maum: 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 [02:13] I see left bar menu in each monitor.. I am using dual monitor I want it to set it only in main monitor. [02:13] how can you get what selections were made when a package was compiled? or is that imposable [02:13] i'll take a screenshot of the files of sdb2 and sdb3? [02:13] shinichi_: that will work also [02:14] ok, wait [02:14] shinichi_: I just want to see what the installer put into each one [02:14] Maum, you should be able to do that in display. [02:14] Hello gentlemen, new user here. When I open an application with my terminal, it's locked until I close the said application. When I make a shell script (.sh), how can I open multiple applications? [02:14] shinichi_: we may be able to just reconfigure it to get it to work instead of reinstalling again [02:14] #join #ubuntu-server [02:14] OccupyDemonoid: ? [02:14] maum, go to the dash home -----> type 'display' [02:14] Tecan: no idea then, you can try to delete compiz configuration [02:14] i see..ok..so just the sdb2 and sdb3 right? [02:14] frozenlock: run_my_application & [02:14] xangua: and then what? [02:15] and how do i do that === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:15] OccupyDemonoid: The program 'display' can be found in the following packages: [02:15] DarwinSurvivor: you mean I need to add the ampersand between my commands? [02:15] shinichi_: yes, sdb4 is swap (full of nothing) and sdb1 is probably your non-linux files [02:16] Tecan: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html then try again [02:16] frozenlock: an ampersand after a command tells bash let the program continue and run in the background. you can even close the terminal and the application will continue running [02:16] maum, sorry. It is 'displays'. I don't know what the package name for it is to open it from terminal. [02:16] DarwinSurvivor: Oh nice! Thank you very much :) [02:16] i have that perl: cannot set locale error, how do i fix it? [02:17] frozenlock: one note: if the application prints stuff to stdout, the text will show up in your terminal (if this happens you can redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/null) if you don't care what the terminal looks like, then don't worry about it [02:17] OccupyDemonoid: display is not what I want I think [02:17] here's for sdb2: http://imagebin.org/211604 and here's for sdb3: http://imagebin.org/211605 [02:17] OccupyDemonoid: should I look at nvidia-settings? [02:18] You could, I don't know what nvidia-settings have. I don't have a nvidia graphics card. I always changed it from the displays menu. [02:18] ubottu: We are at the starting stage. Please send me a proper document to install the buzilla with postgresql. [02:18] user1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:19] OccupyDemonoid: displays menu?

[02:20] shinichi_: ok, good. can you tell me if there is anything in the "boot" folder of sdb3? [02:20] maum, The program labeled 'displays'. The /home/ is where all of the user documents are located. [02:21] only the grub folder [02:21] shubbar_: so that folder is empty? [02:21] Hey all, just here to idle and answer whatever questions I can :) Cheers! [02:21] OccupyDemonoid: http://codepad.org/fXOppUvF [02:22] shubbar_: sorry, is is the grub folder empty? [02:22] wormmd: ive got that locale erroe, how can i fix it [02:22] shubbar_: sorry, wrong person [02:22] xD [02:22] grub folder's not empty [02:22] Hi there, i just installed Ubuntu 12.04 but i have a problem with my wifi connection.. i have a rtl8188ce card and its very slow the most high speed i can get is like 35kb/s, and under windows i get to download at 700kb/s [02:23] shinichi_: hmm, strange. it appears to have made 2 boot folders... [02:23] 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 ! [02:23] what do i do then? [02:23] maum, the little Ubuntu symbol at the top of your screen, click that and type displays. [02:23] is this normal for verssion 12 ? if not please help to resolve [02:24] shinichi_: ok, in sdb3's "etc" folder, there should be a file called "fstab" can you pastebin that? (paste.ubuntu.com) [02:24] bsmith0931: a specific locale error? [02:24] bsmith0931: like only one locale is broken? [02:25] maum, http://i.imgur.com/G8qkR.jpg I made a screenshot to make it easier in case you are new to Ubuntu. [02:25] wormmd: perl: cannot set locale [02:25] the folder is fstab.d and nothing's on it [02:25] where is the log files for postfix? [02:25] bsmith0931: when does it occur? [02:26] resting: /var/log/mail.log [02:26] OccupyDemonoid: thanks you solved my problem [02:26] 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] mardraum: thanks !!

[02:26] HELP....any UBUNTU SERVER FORUM..help me here?? [02:27] shinichi_: oh, ok, it's using the new fstab setup then [02:27] wormmd: sorry about that, check those lines though [02:27] ubuntu server is not ubuntu, someone will say [02:27] so there's really nothing on that folder? [02:28] 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). [02:29] if anyone else here is familiar with grub2 and/or external hdd booting, shinichi_ could use a hand. [02:29] when I try to use vit-manager to create a new vm I get: "Error: no active connection to install on" [02:29] does anyone know what this is about? [02:29] 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] is this normal for verssion 12 ? if not please help to resolve [02:29] how to fix? [02:29] shinichi_: then only thing I could recommend at this point is reinstalling and using ubuntu's official install docs [02:30] 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] !install | shinichi_ [02:30] 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] is anybody else having problems with lord of ultima in their software center? [02:31] thanks again man, gonna be back again if there's still problems xD [02:31] shinichi_: external hdd's are not very different, so the official install docs should do it for you. [02:31] bsmith0931: try "locale -a" to see if that locale is installed, and if so, run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" [02:31] ok [02:31] shinichi_: ok [02:31] wormmd: whats the exact command, im useless with cmd stuff [02:33] cowboy: what is your question? [02:33] bsmith0931: locale -a | grep en_US [02:33] bsmith0931: should see one or more lines print after that [02:34] bsmith0931: if you do, then run this: [02:34] 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] bsmith0931: dpkg-reconfigure locales [02:34] bsmith0931: hmm... [02:35] this operation is a challenge here.. [02:35] 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] everyone seems to have questions .. [02:35] 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] what is going here? [02:35] cowboy: what do u mean? [02:35] cowboy: it's an irc channel, general help with ubuntu. :) [02:36] cowboy: if you have a question, best just to ask it. [02:36] cowboy: throw your question out and if anyone has the knowledge you'll get an answer [02:36] 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] 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] I need help how to configure all my server sides adapting with my webpage [02:36] yes and how?, respectively [02:36] vindav: restarted the process up again ? you mean restarted and booted again ? or restarted with writing the iso to usb ? [02:37] anyone here use chromium? [02:38] 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] Tecan: I use chromium [02:38] vindav: nope - didnt do that [02:38] vindav: bvut the restart i did [02:38] Upon booting ubuntu from a livecd, with a faulty hard drive in the system but not being booted into, udevd returns me errors. === ross is now known as Guest12725 [02:38] will check the md5 sum now [02:39] bsmith0931: run this: "cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local" and tell me if en_US.UTF-8 is listed. [02:39] Is is possible to boot into a livecd without having it interact with the hard drive? [02:39] solofight: How did the restart perform ? [02:39] Or better yet, what's the lightest possible linux distro? [02:39] that i can run gparted from? [02:39] wormmd: en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 [02:39] REK_007: can you move around the tabs positions? [02:40] solofight: I'll be here when you come back. [02:40] Tecan: yeah pretty much [02:40] vindav: thank you [02:40] bsmith0931: that looks fine, and it's weird that dpkg-reconfigure locales didn't fix it... [02:40] vindav: the restart perfomr the same way [02:40] could it be UFT vs utf a case difference? [02:40] hey guys [02:41] 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] I hace this problem with my desktop folder [02:41] it's showing my home folder [02:41] 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] err i meant utf vs UTF [02:41] instead of showing empty [02:41] Hi [02:41] Tecan: not no such problems here .... [02:41] Anyone with experience about 256 colors terminals? [02:41] nope* [02:42] damn i dont get why ubuntu gives me so many problems [02:42] bsmith0931: doubtful. [02:42] 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] REK_007: does move a window to a side make it resize to half the screen for multitasking? [02:42] bsmith0931: do me a favor and paste the entire output of dpkg-reconfigure locales to a pastebin. [02:43] 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] bsmith0931: also, if you're a little weak with cli, I suggest you make healthy use of the man command ;) [02:43] and then it gave me the ubuntu bg with running dots for hours [02:43] I'm looking to set my terminal to 256 colors, anyone can help me with it? [02:44] REK_007: does clicking the mouse scroll button in chromium do anything? [02:45] is anyone familiar with virt-manager? [02:46] Tecan: yeah it closes the tab if the pointer is on the tab / else opens the highlighted link in a new tab [02:46] Tecan: middle-clicking is one of my favorite features. [02:46] REK_007: can you scroll down by clicking it and moving the mouse down? [02:46] 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] Tecan: yes [02:47] damn, thats another bug i have [02:47] vindav: I am using an USB stick only - i am trying a usb boot [02:47] will check the sum now [02:48] solofight: Did you do a md5sum check first before the iso image was loaded on the USB card / stick ? [02:48] bsmith0931: still with us? :) [02:48] Tecan: try reinstalling .. remove all config before you do so .. hope that helps [02:48] is running ubuntu from a flash drive similar in speed to running it on a ssd? [02:48] cowboy: you probably need to specify more details. :) [02:48] yes hold on [02:48] bsmith0931: np [02:49] solofight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [02:49] windbuntu: doubtful, since the bus from processor to hard drive is likely a lot faster than the bus from processor to peripheral. [02:49] windbuntu: I don't have any research to back up my claim, but it sounds legit. [02:50] 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] wormmd: http://pastebin.com/XqB44PgL [02:50] i wonder then if it even fast at all [02:50] solofight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [02:51] 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] 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] vindav: yes it matches d791352694374f1c478779f7f4447a3f ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso [02:51] how do i configure postfix to sent mails to any domains? [02:52] 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] hmm well i have tons of ram, just wondered as i see some of the larger flash drives coming down in price [02:52] solofight: and the link on hashes I gave ? === \Derek\ is now known as [Derek] [02:53] vinda yes i did a chechsum on my download and checked it with the link of hashes you gave [02:53] windbuntu: how often are you running the distro off of the drive? [02:53] vindav: ^^ [02:53] windbuntu, you as a user will never notice the difference in performance, i run full install of xubuntu from 16Gb flashdrive [02:53] 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] i usually run ubuntu everyday [02:53] solofight: now it should work. Pardon me...but what does: ^^ mean ? [02:54] windbuntu: off of the flash drive? You should dual boot. [02:54] Optichip: icons in the launcher? [02:54] vindav: earlier i didnt type your name properly so later i did and said the message is above with ^^ [02:54] trism :> yes [02:54] well my desktops is dedicated totally to ubunu and 2 of my lapptops are dual booters [02:54] bsmith0931: haven't forgotten about you, sorry :) [02:54] 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 [02:55] 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] ahhh ok lestus_ not good then [02:55] windbuntu: so why are you running Ubuntu off a flash drive? Also, what lestus said. [02:55] Optichip: use a gsettings vendor override for com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites [02:55] solofight: ok, you're good to go. Gotta go...hopefully we get to chat again. :D [02:55] i never ran it off a flash just been reading about it hearing people talk about it [02:55] Optichip: http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/gsettings-override-2011-07-04-15-45 [02:55] i just did a fresh install of 12.04 on an intel box. how do i find out whether the installer decided on amd64? [02:56] Hey hey. Is reprepro still the way to manage your own apt-repositories? I was wondering if PPAs are based on that. [02:56] also, is there a ppa which would give me a newer libboost than 1.46? (i need >= 1.48) [02:56] i just became curious about the speed of it run that way [02:56] ericP: unam -a [02:56] ericP: uname -a [02:57] 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] REK_007, is a "x86_64" kernel amd64? [02:57] ericP: it shows x86_64 for amd64 ..else otherwise [02:57] voila -- tx [02:57] hmm g ood point i do not have 3.0 [02:57] yeah ericP [02:57] even my gaiming macjine i7 is 2.0 i think [02:58] mv %f /tmp/cutfiles; cd %d; mkdir folder; mv /tmp/cutfiles/%n; /home/kou/folder [02:58] is there a really bad syntax in this ? [02:58] 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] mkdir works so the mv should work ... (?) [02:58] any ideas guys? [02:58] hi [02:59] ohhhhhhhhh [02:59] 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] Xinerama is breaking Unity in 12.04, is there a solution? [02:59] how do i find wheter i have an HDD or an SDD [02:59] 1649 ppl here and not one person has ever used virt manager? Not one has ever used kvm? [03:00] ClientAlive, this support channel actually sucks pretty bad [03:00] im just trying to figure out how to fix videos [03:00] ShadowFios: do you know the make and model of the drive? [03:00] Not a single person here could even help me with triple monitor issues [03:00] ClientAlive, hephaistos are you serious?? [03:00] ShadowFios: or the make and model of the computer, if it's a Dell or some such? [03:01] 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] 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/ [03:01] ClientAlive, hephaistos you have not seen unfriendly channels, be patient. [03:02] bsmith0931: can you paste me the output of the command "locale"? [03:02] 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] Right, or no-one even familiar with dual or triple monitors... [03:02] I can't use my brand new $1800 computer - how patient? (I built it over two mos ago now) [03:02] ClientAlive, vs the alternative of.... ??? [03:03] if i update ubuntu, what will happen to things like init scripts that i made myself? [03:03] hephaistos, maybe they are but they are busy. i have dual monitors. [03:03] i mean, 10.10 - 12.04 [03:03] wormmd: http://pastebin.com/SeC7VJvW [03:03] ClientAlive: you built an $1800 computer and you can't figure out kvm? [03:03] 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] hephaistos, its not the easyiest thing dealing with xorg... [03:03] ubukou well you must not use xinearama because it completely breaks unity [03:04] Actually, every other DE out works perfectly with 4 or more monitors [03:04] http://10.10.0.12:8080/Fotos [03:04] hephaistos, i dont use unity.. sorry. [03:04] hephaistos: "X break Y help" is not a great description. [03:04] 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] anyone have any advice on videos not working with the latest upgrade? [03:04] hephaistos: I think you just solved your problem: don't use Unity. I hate it anyway :) [03:04] screw it [03:04] /join #tmux [03:05] ClientAlive, Now you understand why linux sucks on the desktop [03:05] hephaistos, wormmd and that is RIGHT! you need to google and take it step by step. [03:05] lol "google it" [03:05] ClientAlive: You're using linux. [03:05] ubuntu has always worked fine for me as a desktop [03:05] Actually, I guess he's not :) [03:05] os [03:05] Ubuntu Support Channel: Have a problem? Google it! [03:05] how do i find whether i have an HDD or an SDD? [03:05] hephaistos: None of us are getting paid to do this. [03:06] well the problem is that Cannonical uses a nigger language word for its inspiration [03:06] 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] 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] Working out of the box is exactly what Ubuntu advertises. [03:06] wormmd: i dont know the model of the drive but i know its dell [03:06] helloooooooooo [03:07] hi astrophil [03:07] 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] ShadowFios: Dell Optiplex 780 or some such other thing? You need those words and numbers to figure it out. [03:07] hephaistos, do you have dual screens out of the box ? [03:07] bsmith0931: sorry, I keep getting distracted, I'm looking into it now :) [03:07] I have triple screens out of the box, it's not UNHEARD OF IN THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD [03:07] hi totesmuh1oats do you know anything about videos not working with the new upgrade? [03:09] 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] Maybe someone needs to inform Mr. Shuttleworth to stop advertising Ubuntu as a feature complete OS ready for the Desktop [03:10] !ot | hephaistos [03:10] hephaistos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:10] hephaistos: how many people do you know that use three monitors? [03:10] Everyone in my office. [03:10] That's about 16 people [03:10] wormmd, lets move on [03:10] hephaistos: any of them use Linux? [03:10] All of them [03:10] bazhang: agreed. [03:10] hephaistos, this is not the channel to rant [03:10] come on people someone has to know whats going on with my upgrade [03:10] wormmd: how do I find the model? [03:11] astrophil, blue video? [03:11] Anyone have any idea where my screenshots are going? [03:11] ~/Pictures usually [03:11] bazhang, - i upgraded last night and whenever i try to watch a video, the video box is black [03:11] ShadowFios: should be on the case somewhere, like Optiplex or Precision and then a three- or four-digit number. [03:11] mcdonc, Thanks. [03:11] np [03:11] No one else here finds the orange highlight in Ubuntu annoying? [03:12] astrophil, this is flash? or what [03:12] I'm used to the screenshot dialog. [03:12] yeah. like youtube videos [03:12] and i re-installed flash as well [03:12] astrophil, you have other software in there such as swf player gnash etc? [03:12] i dont think so [03:13] 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? [03:14] XStreamX, try using something other than cinnamon , does that work [03:14] LIke what for instance? [03:15] 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] XStreamX, like a supported package [03:15] Can u suggest one? [03:15] I think it has to do the the xstartup file. [03:15] XStreamX, what version of ubuntu are you on to have the classic desktop [03:15] wormmd: ATA ST9120310AS [03:16] is that it? [03:16] hello? [03:16] 12.04 but I am using server amd64 [03:16] I followed this guide originally ---> http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-VNC.html [03:16] XStreamX, so thats the gnome-panel then? [03:16] my pc always goes to power save mode right after booting? [03:17] !notunity | XStreamX you mean this? [03:17] 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] anyone know whats the problem? [03:17] bsmith0931: this is a long shot, but does "dpkg -l | grep libc6" show that libc6 is installed? [03:17] ii libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries [03:17] ii libc6-dev 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 Embedded GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea [03:17] ii libc6-i686 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i686 optimized] [03:18] wormmd: ATA ST9120310AS is the drive's model can you tell from that if it's HDD or SDD? [03:18] screw it, if no one can help just tell me [03:18] ShadowFios: that's not an SDD, unfortunately. [03:19] wormmd: thx [03:19] ShadowFios: np. [03:19] astrophil: if people dont know they dont reply thinking that someone else will know [03:19] astrophil, I asked if you had gnash or others installed, did you check or not [03:19] yes and i said no [03:20] astrophil, you said you thought not. check to make sure [03:20] stupid question, but where do i look? [03:20] astrophil, also, what if you download the flv, and play it with mplayer [03:20] •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] astrophil, in your package manager [03:21] i dont see any of those listed [03:21] also,i havetn tried the flv where can i get it [03:21] sorry, im still kinda new to this [03:21] astrophil, and my second question then [03:21] 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. [03:22] is that safe [03:22] astrophil, flv is flash video [03:22] 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] bsmith0931: I was about to ask the channel :) It probably is. [03:22] ok so what do i do to get it'? [03:22] astrophil, download the youtube clip, play it in mplayer. [03:23] ok [03:23] to all, \can i safely remove lib6 and reinsall it [03:23] 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] astrophil, there are various firefox plugins to get that [03:23] bazhang: *harm in [03:23] No one has any idea...? [03:23] wormmd, libc6? why would messing with that ever be a good idea [03:24] found it, thanks [03:24] bazhang: i have a locale issue [03:24] •wylde• So you are saying I should ask the maker of Cinnamon for help? [03:24] wormmd thought that would work [03:24] bsmith0931, please describe if you will [03:25] XStreamX, we hav e no idea about cinnamon. try the usual supported ubuntu packages and see if you have the same issue first === sirriffsalot is now known as sirsitsalot [03:25] bazhang: I found a reference to a crazy edge case with a broken libc6 affecting locales. [03:25] 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] 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] •bazhang• which one would you recommend? [03:26] bazhang: this is closer to his problem http://pastebin.com/XqB44PgL [03:26] XStreamX, just choose one and try [03:26] !flavors | XStreamX [03:26] 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] •wylde• no and I didn't suggest that there was [03:26] bazhang: also, here's this: http://pastebin.com/SeC7VJvW [03:26] wormmd: thanks i lost track of those [03:26] XStreamX: not being offensive, just explaining why this channel won't support 3rd party stuffs :) [03:26] bsmith0931, this is on server? [03:27] no ubuntu lucid [03:27] bsmith0931, ie a server [03:27] 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] Linux ben-laptop 2.6.32-41-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 29 13:08:43 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux [03:27] mv %f /tmp/cutfiles; cd %d; mkdir folder; mv /tmp/cutfiles/%n %d/folder [03:28] Is KDE a supported package? [03:28] i got this far... any ideas how to get rid of that mkdir folder and make it same as the original filename? [03:28] XStreamX, of course yes [03:29] bazhang new to linux so I not familiar with all the supported packages. [03:29] I am* [03:29] Off to install KDE and see what happens. [03:29] XStreamX, you were just linked to them less than a minute ago [03:29] bsmith0931: what does /etc/default/locale look like? [03:30] LANG="en_US.UTF-8" [03:31] ubukou: what is the point of that command? [03:31] hi, [03:32] Is it possible to have spyware or virus running in ubuntu? [03:32] 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] 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] 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] joseph_: technically, yes. [03:33] wormmd, basicaly take a file and place it in a folder that is named after that file. [03:33] ubukou: right, but for what purpose? [03:33] Is there an antivirus for Linux? [03:33] joseph_: clamav [03:33] wormmd, take a bunch of files and create folders for them [03:34] joseph_, you know, some secret can't be poked like a persident's balls [03:34] joseph_: yep. clamav. i also believe avast and avg have linux versions. [03:34] wormmd, and then place them inside. [03:34] ubukou: and then probably populate those folders with other things later related to said files? [03:34] no need its so secure [03:35] Hey there are like 6 different kinds of clamav, which one do I get? [03:35] wormmd, maybe not sure how it will turn out [03:36] wormmd, any ideas? [03:36] joseph_, avast and bitdefender also have linux version. [03:36] 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] ubukou: so you're just hacking to hack. I support that :) [03:37] trism no, and no [03:37] ubukou: I'd have to look into those wildcards, give me a minute. [03:37] the 12 commandment thou shall not fix what is not broken [03:37] also careful with wildcards [03:37] wormmd, you misunderstood my intention of using that command. [03:37] 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. [03:38] the 11th commandment is , odf course " be excellent to each other" [03:39] joseph_, not so. [03:39] joseph_, any other support questions? [03:39] bye [03:40] 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] 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? [03:41] joseph_, why would you need one [03:41] I think my ubuntu has an infection [03:41] !antivirus | joseph_ [03:41] 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] sure [03:41] joseph_, what leads you to believe that [03:42] joseph_, unlikely.. unless you have been REALLY CARELESS [03:42] prompts for password everytime I connect to internet and each time I open a browser. [03:42] joseph_, have you been running firefox with sudo? [03:42] joseph_, try running them via the terminal and see what happens [03:43] I use crome and no its' not with sudu [03:43] joseph_, is there such a thing? my 12.04 is fine so far [03:43] I'm using 10.04 [03:43] joseph_, its the keyring? or your sudo password that is prompted for [03:43] my 10.04 is ok too [03:43] yes the keyring [03:44] i run 10.04, 11.04 and 12.04. none has this issue [03:44] all the time, every time I open a browser [03:44] joseph_, then just set it to blank. thats not a virus [03:44] 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 ;) [03:45] Any recommendations for VideoCapturing (via webcam)? [03:45] !info camorama [03:45] 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] joseph_, hahaha... not trying anything bad here, im sure that command could be used for many purposes.. [03:46] what are you talking about? what command? [03:46] btw, how do I open browser via terminal? [03:46] joseph_, why not set the keyring to blank, as I suggest [03:46] joseph_, open terminal and type "firefox" [03:47] 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] joseph_, wormmd i love how a command that i am trying to make causes so much buzz.. [03:47] how do I stop getting asked for a password whenever my pc boots. 12.04 [03:47] * gunouille disabled java, flash and emcascript [03:48] ubukou, how do I open google crome? for that's what I use, firefox doesn't prompt for password [03:48] 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] joseph_, to put something in terminal? or to check in users and groups and set the keyring there; which one [03:48] 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?? [03:49] joseph_, open a terminal and type chrome (not crome) [03:49] joseph@joseph-laptop:~$ chrome [03:49] chrome: command not found [03:50] 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] 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] soupee, I can help you with that. [03:50] in the search, look for "log in screen" and you can set it to auto log in there. [03:50] sirsitsalot, not sure if what im saying is correct but you must reconfigure Grub. [03:50] bsmith0931: hmm, what does your ~/.dmrc look like? [03:51] ubottu: I just have... I just want to run the update command so it takes effect:P [03:51] sirsitsalot: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:51] Uhh [03:51] sirsitsalot: if I'm not mistaken you need to chroot into the filesystem you want to alter. === Guest19082 is now known as Xander [03:51] ... [03:52] 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] wormmd: really? No idea how to do that.. [03:52] sirsitsalot: I did it twice recently, drawing up a paste... [03:53] 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] wormmd: fantastic:) [03:53] 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. [03:54] can anyone tell me how to get more dictionaries/word lists in **/usr/share/dict** ?? my directory is empty!! [03:55] wormmd, sirsitsalot its likely that you need a simple configuration in your grub config file... [03:55] sirsitsalot, point it to the right direction [03:55] ubukou: if no one is entirely sure I'll just configure it back:) [03:55] ubukou: but am I am in the right directory [03:55] dreamstudio@dreamstudio:/media/b0c63cd1-8f57-47c0-be01-0fc9d618ab91/etc/default$ sudo update-grub [03:55] That gives me /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

[03:56] !lubuntu | joseph_ [03:56] 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] felipe_Brz: apt-cache search wordlist; will list a bunch [03:56] joakim: ubuntu isn't heavy at all if you don't use unity or gnome:) [03:56] joseph_: lubuntu [03:56] ah [03:56] sirsitsalot, are you running these commands on a live cd? [03:56] ubukou: yes:) [03:56] how do I stop getting asked for a password whenever my pc boots. 12.04 [03:57] Screen freezes at bootup since 12.04 upgrade.. [03:57] I tried it, but how do I get the netbook version of it? I can't fine the .iso download. [03:57] soupeee, auto log in , is that what you mean? [03:57] soupeee: set to autolgin [03:57] sirsitsalot, you need to run them on the broken grub install... [03:57] ubukou: meaning? [03:57] joseph_, there is none. [03:57] where do I set it? [03:58] 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?

[04:00] cd /directory-where-file-is-in [04:00] raj, cd /directory-where-file-is-in [04:00] itisme: open a filebrowser, go to filesystem and media, see if you see your USB there [04:00] yes [04:00] and then? [04:00] just type the filename? [04:01] no [04:01] raj, ./filename.run [04:01] itisme: are you certain the USB is actually getting/sending any signals? [04:01] itisme: any light?:P [04:01] the light is on [04:01] itisme: hmm [04:01] worked, thank you [04:02] in terminal if I go aslamixer I can select it with F6 [04:02] what's ./ mean though?

[04:02] itisme: ah [04:02] itisme: well then it is definitely in your system. What desktop environment are you running? [04:02] default fresh install [04:02] itisme: so unity? [04:02] raj, yes [04:03] i guess i do not know.. it is ubuntu [04:03] ubukou, isn't that redundant if i'm in the directory anyway? [04:03] itisme: hang on, F6 is to select the sound card... [04:03] itisme: is your USB plug a sound card?:D [04:03] no [04:03] raj, i guess in some cases no. [04:03] itisme: what exactly are you trying to plug in? [04:04] itisme: iPod? [04:04] sirriffsalot: If it's a USB microphone, then yes, it counts as a sound card. [04:04] obelus: yeah; that's why I asked:) [04:04] no it is a microphone - http://tinyurl.com/89njkvo [04:05] itisme: and what would you like to do with it? [04:05] itisme: this explains a lot:P [04:05] record audio [04:05] itisme: with ardour? [04:05] what is that? [04:05] itisme: recording software. what are you planning to record with?:) [04:05] itisme: audacity? [04:05] some kind of desktop recorder [04:05] 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] I have 3 installed [04:06] I figured out how to change the selected color scheme. ubuntu rocks. [04:06] itisme: what is it called exactly? So I can help you select the right microphone for recording:) [04:06] interesting [04:06] itisme: the software you are going to record with [04:06] thanks for the info obelus [04:06] um hang on [04:06] kazam screencaster [04:06] itisme: gimme a moment:) [04:07] itisme: is there any particular reason you use that? [04:07] no [04:07] i jus twant to record my desktop with audio [04:07] 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] Anyway, I'm out guys. [04:07] itisme: record your desktop with a microphone? [04:07] sirriffsalot: You do want to install grub to the MBR, rightr? [04:07] sirriffsalot: *right [04:07] understood [04:07] bye [04:08] wormmd: no, I simply want to update the grub file:P [04:08] .... it is an applications that records your desktop to a video file [04:08] and also takes audio fomr a microphoe so you can make presentations [04:08] itisme: Ah I see lol [04:08] itisme: excuse my clumsiness, hang on [04:08] Umm what is the App Whoopsie on Ubuntu Server 12.04 [04:08] wormmd: I edited the grub file so that it says "quiet splash nousermod" or whatever it was [04:09] wormmd: now I simply want to update it [04:09] sirriffsalot: ah. [04:09] itisme: ok, so open up your kazam [04:09] itisme: you've probably done what I'm going to ask, but just in case:P [04:10] soupeee: sry, being busy, have an answer for your autologin already ? [04:10] itisme: in the "audio source" thing, what options do you have? [04:10] yes... audio source is set to the correct thing but it is not making any sound.. [04:10] Ah! [04:10] oh wait.. it is just super low [04:10] itisme: I know the solution I think, hang on [04:11] how do you turn it up? [04:11] Umm what is the App Whoopsie on Ubuntu Server 12.04 [04:11] itisme: press the dash button (top left ubuntu icon) [04:11] itisme: and type in "mix" and select Gnome Alsa Mixer [04:11] KingKatari: software-center ? synaptic still there, too [04:11] I think i need to install it [04:11] nothing is showing up [04:12] itisme: you can do that if you want, or go to alsamixer in terminal [04:12] ok [04:12] i am there [04:12] itisme: if you search through the options [04:12] itisme: you should see some record/mic options [04:12] itisme: I'll betcha anything one of them is turned very low [04:13] 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] wormmd: how's the solution coming?:D [04:13] set where [04:13] itisme: hmm?

Go to software center and install gnome alsa mixer:) [04:16] sirriffsalot: as a note, you should be editing /etc/default/grub and then running update-grub, not editing the grub.conf directly. [04:16] wormmd: yea, did that [04:17] 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] jjj [04:18] sirriffsalot: ...devs what?

I made an exclusion param to exclude any files and folders that begin with "." - but I wanted to know if there was a way I could tweak it so that it only excludes folders that begin with "." instead of files.

[04:20] sirriffsalot: Not entirely sure you understand your issue, if I don't. Maybe something got lost in translation somewhere. [04:20] DasEi: well, basically my system freezes at bootup where all the [OK] messages comes, and the screen blinks to black back to the dext displaying every 5 seconds...

[04:48] 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] DarwinSurvivor, i have tried cd %d; mkdir folder [04:48] ubukou: try "mkdir %X && mv %f %X/" [04:48] DasEi: cool:D [04:48] danny: That I don't know. But the fact is that u can't install win7 after installing ubuntu [04:48] sirriffsalot: sure , no yoda skills needed there :) [04:48] 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] i can access my wi-fi but internet is not working on ubuntu (tried on 3 different machines - 2 different ubuntus)... any idea? [04:49] DasEi: to me it is hardcore yoda this [04:49] DarwinSurvivor, gimme a moment to see that.. im pretty boiled here [04:49] DarwinSurvivor, thanks [04:49] Ann-Mariya: back your stuff up install windows then isntall ubuntu either with wubi or with the reg installer [04:49] sirriffsalot: still aplication, not coders level [04:50] DasEi: well in the end it will have to be, right?

[04:51] DasEi: I think I'll stick to here lol:) [04:51] DasEi: but yea, asked in forums too [04:52] Ann-Mariya: it wasnt automatic, u probably chose to do it... [04:52] sirriffsalot: common tasks like chroot from live to hd are there nice written [04:52] :) [04:52] how much disk space does the current-ish versions of Ubuntu take up? [04:52] ryzzan: No i won't [04:52] DasEi: I'll manage it:D Preparing to leave now though;) [04:52] ubukou: you mean selecting multiple files?

[05:08] ryzzan: do you use dhcp?

[05:36] we got buckets of help [05:36] I was hoping so, lol. [05:37] its falling out my youknow what right not.. [05:37] Basically, I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 and am having some issues figuring out how to set up my wireless. [05:37] i had to hire a midget to follow me around and catch it...spare time as well. [05:37] krababbel: gonna do it then... ty [05:37] grendal-prime: are you sure you've installed the correct package for gobject-introspection in lucid? [05:37] eeeeewwwww i hate 1204 sorry [05:38] well..jri [05:38] Ok, let me back up, maybe you have a better recommendation. [05:38] there is something called that but has -dev on it [05:38] It's an OLD Belkin card, version 4100. [05:38] gobject-introspection [05:39] F5D70000 version 4100 [05:40] grendal-prime: well probably the way gobject [05:40] grendal-prime: well probably the way gobject-introspection has changed since lucid [05:41] i installed that as well ill give it a shot [05:41] nope same error [05:41] grendal-prime: no, I'm telling you that your version of lucid is to old to run that software as is. [05:41] argh, it's too late. [05:42] 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) [05:44] grendal-prime: I don't remember that being the case, but that's what it seems like :?

[05:47] adjust your ram ktwo [05:47] on the vm machine ktwo [05:47] B|tchX, i mean what can i do inside the OS , the parameters of the VM are not changeable [05:48] is there some filesystem feature i can turn off or something [05:48] i dont need journaling for example, this is purely a testing vm , performance > all [05:48] nothing I can think of [05:51] Anybody fluent in setting up a wireless network through command line / no GUI? [05:52] gm [05:52] ?? [05:52] hey [05:53] hi, can anyone tell me the difference between the scripts in /etc/init.d and /etc/init? [05:53] Please PM me if you think you can help me with a basic wireless setup... [05:53] Through GUI, no X server. [05:54] does any body know a blueray burner that works with linux [05:54] Tony, CLI or GUI? [05:54] wookiehk: /etc/init.d contains sys v init scripts. /etc/init contains upstart init scripts. [05:54] CLI [05:55] lramon, for burning i dont see why there should be issues [05:55] Terminus_, so sys v scriopts are only run when called, where upstart scripts run on boot up? [05:55] Tony, are you trying to connect to an AP? [05:55] i've looked but can't find a blueray burner that works with linux [05:57] 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] lramon, whare are you looking? basically br burning works like dvd burning , if the software supports it you're fine [05:57] but you can not view dhcp bluray of course [05:57] i mean hdcp [05:57] 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? [05:58] 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] i mean a blueray player model like a sony or something [06:00] is it worth upgrading to 12.04 ? [06:00] lramon: do you just want to dump files on it, copy a blu-ray or create a blu-ray movie? [06:01] to be honest we were trying to data dump it to copy a ps3 game i heard that it is possible [06:01] 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.!! [06:02] night all [06:02] lramon: PS3 games probably have a bunch of copy protection on them, so it may not work [06:04] The data dump copies every thing even the encryption so it should work were trying to do it. [06:05] is it worth upgrading to 12.04 ? [06:05] Terminus_, ok so anything in /etc/init.d wont start and ill have to port them across to /etc/init ? [06:06] am i asking a stupid question ? [06:06] Qualia, yes. [06:06] Qualia, well think about it yourself, of course upgrades generally are a good thing [06:06] but if you cant risk to lose time if something goes wrong [06:07] then you come back to "never touch a running system" [06:07] i can, i want more problems [06:07] !opinion | Qualia [06:07] 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] solving problems is a good way of learning the system and i need to know more and more [06:07] 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] so instead of asking you i need to go research now [06:08] wut? [06:08] and stop being a hypocrite [06:08] lramon: have you heard of dd? [06:08] Anybody know why DRM drivers might be causing my video not to display? [06:09] 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] 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] 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] how can I adjust the geometry of my desktop, it is overscanned on my hdtv, nvidia driver? [06:10] 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] what dose "checkinstall" do wehn doing an - - - apt-get install checkinstall - - - ? [06:11] lramon: how do you intend to copy ps3 games without a bd-rw? cause they ain't cheap [06:11] 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] Qualia: though i must warn you, you wont get support anywhere if you do that :P [06:11] 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] Hello guys, I have this problem mounting my harddrive: I get this error all the time mounting -Daemon is inhibited [06:11] Guido1: i'm still not getting you [06:11] 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] lramon, you cant even copy x360 games to work like the original ones because of plain hardware limitations [06:11] allu2, No worries :) [06:11] Guido1: different applications will have different commands [06:11] the original ones have areas written which NO burner can write [06:11] allu2, and thank you [06:11] aeon-ltd: if you start ubuntu then it cheks for errors on the hard disk [06:12] !tab | lramon [06:12] lramon: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:12] yea thats why i first asked what blueray burner was compat for the linux [06:12] !who | lramon [06:12] Guido1: you mean fsck? [06:12] 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] Qualia: don't thank me and really, consider what your doing that will really break your system :S [06:12] aeon-ltd: it's the automatic chek. if it is fsck, then yes [06:12] Qualia: backups at least! [06:12] Guido1: you mean you want to skip it? [06:13] lramon: oh, you want *hardware*. my old laptop had a blu-ray *reader*, but it wasn't a burner [06:13] aeon-ltd: i want to know the comments for it like "repair", "ignore error", ... [06:14] Guido1: that will be in the man pages for fsck [06:14] Guido1: 'man fsck' at a terminal [06:15] aeon-ltd: in the screen witch shows up i can't see the comments :-( [06:15] 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] aeon-ltd: with other computers i can, but they have no problems in the moment [06:15] thanks to all of you for the info i'll check with you later kind of late here [06:16] 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] wookiehk: use either sysv or upstart. don't use both at the same time. [06:17] 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] Terminus_, ok thanks [06:18] aeon-ltd: i'm not sure if i can make a screenshot - it is bevore i enter my password [06:18] 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] Terminus_, true, thanks for the reminder. I think ill write the upstart ones and del the init.d ones [06:18] Guido1: do you remember anything else from the screen? [06:18] ahoi [06:19] aeon-ltd: a bit. at first it sayes it is cheking for errord and a percentage [06:19] aeon-ltd: then it finds an error and stops [06:19] Guido1: what are you trying to achieve with this? [06:20] 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 [06:21] Guido1: but it gives nothing? [06:21] 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] 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). [06:22] 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] Any way I can boot to a live cd and disable DRM drivers? [06:23] 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) [06:24] but what is the command i have to enter? [06:25] hi all while doing apt-get update i get ppa GPG authentication errors ... how can i fix them ? [06:25] aeon-ltd: but what is the command i have to enter? [06:26] aeon-ltd: witch letter [06:26] Guido1: i don't know, logically i'd guess 'r' for repair [06:27] aeon-ltd: sadly not [06:27] Hi Guys..I encountered "Page Fault error" --> rip 710FBF6 Unknown -< crash occured here No Stack Frames Found during installing Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 on UEFI mode [06:28] I got this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/grub2/+bug/632775 but dont know how shall I download the fix [06:28] Launchpad bug 632775 in grub2 (Ubuntu Maverick) "grub-install (EFI) is not properly setting the prefix" [High,Fix released] [06:28] The Ubuntu they have made so simple it makes it hard. I'm use to menu in a program. So if you don't get something you looking though the menus and right click doing something [06:28] Guido1: you could always do fsck just not at the boot of this install [06:28] ubottu: How shall I download and try this fix ..seems like its for Maverick [06:28] linuxfreaker: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:29] ubottu: ahhh [06:29] aeon-ltd: during the chek a screen like this https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Plymouth?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=plymouth.png is shown up [06:29] I have been using teamspeak 3 and been having problems with the sound. It only works now when you just speak into the mic. Push to talk don't work. I'm running it from a script via sudo . anyone [06:29] aeon-ltd: but benethe with the information what it is doing [06:30] 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] Guido1: did you try to press C to skip disk checking? [06:30] Satish: if it wouldnt you could never join a network in the first place or am i wrong? ;) [06:30] nastas: no [06:31] fidel_, yes. I am more interested to know, how ubuntu deal with it [06:32] 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] i wil try soimething [06:32] fidel_, I mean, is there any script/daemon running in background. which comes into life as soon as WIFI AP cames in range [06:33] Guido1: is ubuntu allow you to press any other key? [06:34] 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] but thats just a wild guess [06:35] 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] fidel_, network-manager do the trick. But I want the command line option plus logic/flow behind this [06:35] Satish: well my laptop autoconnects to its known wireless networks [06:36] in case you use keyring or similar it will get the credentials from there [06:36] k [06:37] 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. === headyadmin_ is now known as headyadmin [06:38] it doesn't work [06:40] Guido1: is it just freeze? [06:40] fidel_, any idea, how to trace these things... [06:41] nastas: no, it does not freeze. it askes for a comment, but it does not show the comments [06:42] nastas: if i pres "I" i can skip it [06:42] Guido1: could you switch to a terminal? === Dorito is now known as Guest7770 [06:42] Guido1: so you could run fsck in this terminal [06:42] Hi Guys..I encountered "Page Fault error" --> rip 710FBF6 Unknown -< crash occured here No Stack Frames Found during installing Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 on UEFI mode on dell server [06:43] nastas: yes, but the comant lines are not shown compleatly. som parts are cut of - again the part with the comments misses [06:43] Guido1: i understand but is this happening in terminal also?

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] albech: you don't need a 64 bit machine to run the check I don't think [07:27] ok [07:27] and you use gnome [07:27] I'd greatly appreciate any input. Thank you. [07:27] if i chose 3d, then nothing can appear [07:27] albech: can you run "sudo fsck /dev/sda2"? You'll need to unmount it first [07:27] I can just use 2d, then I can access the desktop [07:28] BrianNie, try this create a new user when you log in 2d then log on to 3d with the new user account [07:28] DarwinSurvivor how to know the storage names ?

[07:29] albech: hmm, ok [07:29] i do not think there is differene between knowing and finding. however lets say find them [07:30] DarwinSurvivor, i see those ext4 orphans errors in the syslog. [07:30] the-newsman: usually the easiest way to list all connected hard-drives is "ls /dev/hd* /dev/sd*" [07:30] the-newsman: see above, sudo fdisk -l [07:31] DasEi it worked fine. it showed i am using sd* [07:31] albech: how old is the hdd? [07:31] but i dunno if there is other drives. [07:31] the-newsman: so can draw back troops again ;) [07:32] DarwinSurvivor, hmm im not really sure.. id guess 2-3 years [07:32] the-newsman: vbox ? [07:32] VMWARE [07:32] albech: ok [07:32] DarwinSurvivor, they in a raid0 [07:33] the-newsman: either way, by default one cd and one hd, floppy sometimes, but you set that in the -not running- vm [07:33] albech: wait, you have a raid?!? [07:33] DarwinSurvivor, yes, there is a raid0 configured in the bios [07:33] albech: future reference: having a raid array is an *important* thing to mention! [07:33] DarwinSurvivor, sorrr [07:33] DarwinSurvivor, sorry [07:34] the-newsman: install gnome-device-manager for a non-tech-gui or install hwinfo and run as root to get grey hairs :) [07:34] DasEi can i redue the parition size without losing the installed file ? [07:34] albech: ok, so is sda2 a real partition, or the raided combination of 2 other partitions/hdds? [07:34] the-newsman: I don't understand .. you want to decrease the virtual hd ? [07:34] 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.. [07:35] i want to split the allocated harddisk size which is 20 g to 15 and 5 drives === totesmuh1oats is now known as totesmuhgoats [07:35] DarwinSurvivor, its a raid0 partition so its running on one partition. [07:35] please create a pastebin with a list of each drive's partitions and which ones are paired up which ones in the raid [07:36] DarwinSurvivor, its not a software raid within ubuntu.. [07:36] albech: you do know that if either drive in a raid0 dies, you lose EVERYTHING right? [07:36] DarwinSurvivor, sorry.. its a raid1 [07:36] 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 [07:37] 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] DarwinSurvivor, replicated data on 2 disks [07:37] DarwinSurvivor, correct [07:37] is there a way of setting the watchdog timer to a longer delay? [07:37] DarwinSurvivor, except its raid1 and not raid0 [07:37] albech: ok [07:37] DarwinSurvivor, confused the two [07:38] 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] 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] DarwinSurvivor, im bot sure if it supports that [07:38] DarwinSurvivor, i can check [07:39] 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] 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 [07:40] Hi, grub in 12.04 won't work for me (it worked in 10.04), is there another boot loader I could use? [07:41] do i have separate ubuntu 12.04 iso image for amd athlon64? [07:41] do i get* [07:41] alkisg: did you choose grub option while installing [07:41] ? [07:41] i guess it worked [07:42] argh... I am unable to view my website while I am on my home network [07:42] my webserver and workstation are on the same LAN [07:42] 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] alkisg: i see [07:42] appi_uppi: I can netboot the client with the same parameters that grub uses locally [07:42] I edited my hosts file to bind the webserver to it's LAN ip [07:43] Is LILO still in a working state? [07:43] 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] DasEi [07:43] DasEi but i think dividing the harddisk as 2 partitions is something inside the linux itself and not related to the vmware. yes ? [07:45] 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] Hi, I tried add a new user. But the problem is same. [07:45] 1) partitoning/resizing 2) splitting [07:46] 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] DasEi yes fresh installation however i am doing that to just pratice. it seems i asked hard mission not for a beginner [07:47] 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] So [07:47] I am on 12.04 [07:47] 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] But my notifications area(?) at top-right of screen doesn't show app icons [07:47] No Skype icon for instance [07:47] If I choose Ubuntu, then nothing can appear [07:48] just messaging, wifi, sound, clock, user, power [07:48] according to my friend this is not normal [07:49] Hello.

What is the name of the font used on the ubuntu terminal? [08:05] alvesjnr: depends on your dekstop envoriment and theme and also you terminal emulator. [08:06] does anyone know how to enable NAT loopback on a q1000z ADSL router? [08:06] or even know if it is possible to do so? [08:06] Hi, does anybody resolved this problem: login interface, there are 4 choices: Recovery Console,Ubuntu,Ubuntu 2D, and User Defined Session. If I choose Ubuntu or User Defined Session, then there is nothing appear except the background.If I choose Ubuntu 2D, then the desktop and menu appear and I can work there.

[08:08] trpe: /nick [08:08] type: /nick === manny_ is now known as manny550 [08:09] 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] !irc | manny550 [08:09] 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] :_D [08:09] HowDoI: are you pressing alt+tab when it happens? [08:09] ok [08:10] 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] 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 [08:11] Does ubuntu come with a preinstalled alternative to sysv-rc-conf or sysvconfig ? [08:11] HowDoI: if it turns out to be seemingly random, contact someone through a bug report for in-depth investigation [08:11] HowDoI: or ubuntuforums :) [08:11] ok [08:11] so now that I'm official I can ask my question lol [08:11] sirriffsalot, it almost always happens when, for example, viewing spinning Internet space ships at this site: http://www.eveonline.com/universe/spaceships/ [08:11] 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 [08:12] HowDoI: are you sure your hardware is meant to handle it?:D [08:12] HowDoI: yeah, should have mentioned that too lol. If it isn't a problem, do a reinstall with a new install usb/CD [08:13] HowDoI: as for the spaceships, my sucky computer with nvidia running on a livecd handles it fine [08:13] sirriffsalot, This same problem happened with fresh install from USB stick and with upgrade from 10.04 via system-update [08:14] HowDoI: is there any sincere need for "the latest"?;) [08:14] 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] in as the Root User, can anyone help me with this? [08:14] manny550: you don't need to login as the root user [08:15] ikonia: how do I get around this? [08:15] manny550: why not just use the live-cd to perform the recovery and dump everything ONTO the external harddrive? [08:15] 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] 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] manny550: what is your end goal? what do you want to do ? [08:15] HowDoI: I meant software-wise:) [08:16] 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] 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 [08:17] manny550: ok, so do you want help recovering his files ? [08:17] 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] ikonia: I want help with that and returning my external hard drive back to normal [08:17] 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] manny550: back to normal ? what's not normal about it ? [08:17] HowDoI: have you never partitioned a hard disk before?:) [08:18] 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] 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] does anyone know how to enable NAT loopback on a q1000z ADSL router? [08:18] I am starting to think it is not even possibler [08:19] 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] ikonia: give me a second to test something [08:19] 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 === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [08:19] mobius420: contact the hardware vendor, it' snot an ubuntu issue [08:19] manny550: sure, no rush [08:20] I have same libraries installed in /usr/local/lib as well as /usr/lib directories. How do I ensure that /usr/local/lib gets preference when I use the library in some program's source. [08:20] so yeah, if anyone knows if that is possible, def send me a PM please [08:20] got a bit coin I can drop for the fix [08:20] mobius420: this is an ubuntu sopport channel, unless your adsl router is running ubuntu, you will need to contact whoever made your hardware/firmware [08:20] You can download Chimpout Radio's 70th episode here! http://www.chimpout.com/forum/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fchimpoutradio.com%2Fuploader%2Fuser_uploads%2FDJStoopnig933c%2Fadafd1_co70.mp3 [08:21] was that *support [08:21] lulz [08:21] but yeahhhhh [08:21] i need a timestamp [08:21] sirriffsalot, I know that's what I'll have to do, but I can't find any bug reports related to this issue, so I have no idea if these bugs will ever get fixed [08:21] this shit's [08:21] !ot | mobius420 [08:21] mobius420: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:21] dumb [08:21] so if anyone knows if it's possible to enable NAT loopback on a q1000z router, which btw does actually run ubuntu as it were [08:21] let me know [08:21] I'm looking for a good command line FTP client that has the following features: synchronised browsing, bookmarking. [08:21] Hi, I have a bridge device, br0, that contains eth0, vlan2 (vlan on eth1). After the bridge is shutdown and deleted, I need to remove and create vlan2. Once that is done, the bridge device is automatically created ! How can this auto-creating of br0 be prevented ? [08:21] Betrug: tone down the language please. [08:22] ikonia: ok so heres the part where I explain my stupidity cause you're right and I could have used the boot cd as a live cd but that didn't occur to me until after I messed up my external. I tried installing the Ubuntu OS onto my external so now I need to be the root user to do anything to my external [08:22] !polls | wiseguysonly [08:22] wiseguysonly: 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. [08:22] manny550: ok, 1.) don't worry about the mistake, evernyone makes them [08:22] manny550: 2.) you don't need root to fix things, tell me what you want to do and I'll help you put it back [08:22] DarwinSurvivor: did it look like a poll, I specified features [08:23] manny550: is there anything other than the botched ubuntu install currently on the external drive? [08:23] wiseguysonly: this is a support channel for fixing problems, if you would like software recommendations, please use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel [08:24] Well, I tried unity --reset. The problem is same. There is nothing appear except the background. No desktop and menu appear. And I use Ctrl+Alt+F1 change to console, login as another user. and I used Ctrl+Alt+F7 to switch back, I saw a error:unity.glib-gobject:0 g_object_unref: asserti on 'G_IS_OBJECT(object) failed. [08:24] DarwinSurvivor: ok will do - thanks [08:24] ikonia: my movies and anime but I backed that up somewhere else so I'm not worried about that plus I think it got erased when I tried installing Ubuntu on it [08:24] ikonia: so far the only thing the External has is the botched Ubuntu OS [08:24] And there is still nothing I can do [08:24] 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? [08:24] folks, I installed both Java 6 and Java 7. And I make Java 7 as default. But whenever I checked my Java plugin on http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 it says Java 6. My questions is how to make Java 7 works on firefox? [08:24] manny550: are they on a separate partition? [08:25] manny550: ok, that's fair enough, so what do you want to do ? [08:25] BrianNie: what video card do you have? if ubuntu-2d works, but not ubuntu, chances are it's a video driver problem [08:25] HowDoI: they will get fixed as some point, they are working on it now I bet:) [08:25] anyone an ideo how i can record from line-in and mic on the same time with pulse? [08:26] PlayX: what are you using to record with? [08:26] ikonia: I want to be able to use it as before put stuff in and out as I please but I can't currently I have no power in it. And since it no longer has NTFS it doesn't work in Windows [08:26] ffmpeg [08:26] manny550: what OS do you want to be able to use it with ? [08:26] PlayX: oh, I didn't know that was possible, haha:) can't help you there [08:26] PlayX: what software are you using to record with? [08:26] manny550: I'm assuming Windows ? [08:26] ikonia: well both Ubuntu and Windows [08:27] DarwinSurvivor, ffmpeg [08:27] ikonia: I should say both linux and Windows [08:27] my computer is Dell inspiron 1526. [08:27] manny550: ok, easy solution, boot into windows, use the partition tool to delete the partition, put a new partition with NTFS on it, and job done [08:27] does IcedTea Plugin 1.2 only works for Java 6 ? [08:27] 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) [08:28] !java | SuSEno [08:28] 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] already installed that [08:28] is there a way to create an virtual device in pulse that takes linein and mic togehther? [08:28] ikonia: wow you are a genius [08:28] ;-) [08:28] manny550: just approach things simpley, [08:28] I installed both Java 6 and Java 7 [08:28] and set Java 7 as default. [08:29] ikonia: I do over think things -___- I owe you a beer or something but before I get too hyped I'm going to see how this plays out [08:29] my Java worked by the way ;-) [08:29] SuSEno: just uninstall the jdk6 browser plugin package [08:29] How can I know the Graphics card model? === rageSUCHTcasiIFX is now known as weallknowit [08:29] PlayX: in my experience, recording with pulseaudio makes things more complicated than need be.. very controversial subject! Anyway, consider trying JACK which is a great router like pulse, but more for recording than pulse [08:29] SuSEno: I imagine it's called icedtea6-plugin, install icedtea-7-plugin instead [08:30] I have an hp pavillion dv4-1428dx with no mic support in Ubuntu 12.04. Can anyone help me? [08:30] do I need to uninstall 'icedtea-plugin' ? [08:30] lindsay: Do you have sound? [08:31] ajf, Yeah I have sound and everything else works great [08:31] 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] hmm [08:31] go into audio settings [08:32] ajf, ok [08:32] like, click the speaker icon then sound settings [08:32] you might have several sound inputs, might need to boost mic volume [08:32] some mics are very weak [08:32] ikonia: so in the meantime I'm actually repairing my power jack in my gateway laptop just waiting on my soldering supplies. [08:32] ajf, well it lists the mic in there [08:32] click on it [08:32] or i buy a third sound card [08:33] try boosting the volume [08:33] make sure it's the default mix [08:33] etc [08:33] *mic [08:33] ajf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:33] hahaha [08:33] 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. [08:34] ajf, well it's selected, not sure if it's the default. but the little bar doesn't move when I speak [08:34] 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] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7IKuaT1jpU test record. line out of soundcatrd1 in line-in of soundcard2 [08:35] sirriffsalot, I tried to find Ubuntu-friendly hardware when putting together a new system, but https://friendly.ubuntu.com/ only appears to have information about expensive pre-built systems [08:35] UEFI + Ubuntu 11.04 + Dell Poweredge = Page Fault error [08:35] Tried this http://www.linuxfloat.org/content/cannot-install-through-uefi but no fix [08:35] HowDoI: why are you so obsessed with awesome equipment anyway? You're the first I've met that makes life much harder by getting advanced gear [08:36] sirriffsalot, All the reviews about Ivy Bridge on Linux and Ubuntu said it worked flawlessly [08:36] HowDoI: right? [08:36] 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 [08:37] manny550: how did you install it ? [08:37] ikonia: software center [08:37] manny550: should be fine (or as good as it could be) from that source [08:37] ikonia: ah [08:38] manny550: being honest, there are a lot of problems with flash on linux, it's a hard pill to swallow [08:38] in windows sound recording quality is perfect, but is horribly staticy in ubuntu. Is there an easy fix? [08:38] ikonia: oh, and it probably doesn't help that every bit of hardware on my desktop that's running Ubuntu is from 04 [08:39] 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] manny550: really doesn't matter [08:39] 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:/ [08:40] HowDoI: be the first to put it out there? ubuntuforums.org :) [08:40] How can I know the video card model? My computer is Dell inspiron 1526 [08:40] ajf, yeah this is strange. Mic is there, turned up but still nothing. [08:40] 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? [08:41] anyone having crashing problem with ff12? [08:42] ikonia: I recently just started using Linux so all this stuff is new to me but I like it. I'm enjoying learning about it, [08:42] manny550: good luck [08:43] ikonia: thanks, my XP CD acted up so I have to start all over again to get to the Partition menu -_- [08:43] BrianNie: try 'lspci -v |less' and you should be able to see VGA compatible drivers in this info.

[10:16] MarKsaitis: that is the official ubuntu ldap guide, if you don't like it, there are others on the web, although they may/maynot be compatible with ubuntu's setup [10:16] give me a normal guide instead and I will not even write here at all [10:16] it isnt official, it's community [10:16] MarKsaitis: no, you find a normal guide as the ubuntu one "is normal" but you need find one you like === StudioWorks is now known as kInOzAwA [10:17] gwelter: hmm.. thats weird, there is a aesni patch for oneiric for libssl1.0.0, but its missing from precise and openssl seems not to have aesni support in 12.04 [10:17] DarwinSurvivor: custom-compile would be difficult for me as i am new to Linux itself. I will try to upgrade to 12.04. Thanks for all your help buddy. [10:17] MarKsaitis: look in the server docs in https://help.ubuntu.com too, may have some stuff you like [10:17] ikonia, no it isnt normal. Some sections it says are superseeded, and I am wondering what percentage of this document doesnt work and document doesnt say that it's superseeded too [10:17] kapz had to reinstall it, it's in Tweaks - Login settings [10:18] MarKsaitis: look in the server docs on https://help.ubuntu.com see if that fits your needs any better [10:18] DarwinSurvivor: Apologies for pasting multiple line. i installed this irc as my last option to resolve the Ethernet issue [10:18] MonkeyDust, you talking about login screen(lightDM)? coz I want to change bootsplash screen colour.. [10:19] DarwinSurvivor: will again log-in after installing 12.04 and let you know the result. [10:19] kapz yes lightdm [10:19] MarKsaitis: superseeded may simply mean "applies to previous versions of ubuntu" [10:19] ok...how do I change bootsplash? [10:19] Khanna_Param: alright, let me know if it works. if not and I'm gone by then, please tell the next person that helps you that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022411&page=11 has some useful information [10:20] section "Creating a DIT with the RTC System" .... whoo needs this one!!! apt-get install on oneiric and precise comes already with this configured [10:20] kapz explore 'login settings' [10:20] its just misleading for the first starters who dont know it [10:21] MarKsaitis: update the community docs then [10:22] 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 [10:23] MarKsaitis: it's community documentation, you can maintain it if you see improvements [10:23] MarKsaitis: moaning about it won't get anything done, especially if you can see a problem, fix it [10:24] 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] MarKsaitis: if you create a wiki account you can login and update the docs to fix any issues you see [10:24] anyways, canonical should do that [10:25] MarKsaitis: it's community docs, as you pointed out, not canonical docs [10:25] MarKsaitis: worth looking in the server guides in https://help.ubuntu.com [10:25] I barelly have time to config stuff for myself :) [10:25] 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 [10:26] MarKsaitis: no-one is responsible for that [10:26] 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. [10:28] ikonia, I bet this should be official then https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openldap-server.html not to mislead people [10:29] So I installed a new machine with full disk encryption using the ubuntu mini. How can I remove it ? I am the encryption. [10:29] MarKsaitis: that's in the server guide section I suggested you look at [10:30] 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] meco: putting swap on ntfs is not a good idea [10:30] 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 [10:31] ok... I figure.. [10:31] meco: does the problem go away if you run "sudo swapoff"? [10:31] meco: if so, then swap is most likely to blame === Robert_ is now known as Guest75589 [10:32] no words of wisdom for me ? [10:32] ome: you want to change from full encryption to no encryption? [10:32] DarwinSurvivor: yup. [10:32] and by "ubuntu mini" you mean "ubuntu minimal installer"? [10:33] Darwin4Ever: No, actually it remained. VLC crashed with a segfault [10:33] DarwinSurvivor even [10:33] DarwinSurvivor: yes. [10:33] meco: did you restart vlc after running swapoff? if not, it probably just moved already-corrupted memory back into main RAM [10:33] I'm on a livecd and deleted some files inside my actual install by accident, where do they go by default? [10:33] ome: if it's a fresh install, the fastest method is most likely to just re-run the installer [10:33] DarwinSurvivor: It was restarted, yes. [10:34] meco: please pastebin the output of "free -m" [10:35] 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] Hello World! [10:36] ome: removing the encryption will require de-crypting the *entire* system, copying it to a new partition and then changing the boot paramaters to no longer attempt decryption of the old partition [10:36] Hey! Anybody having any ideas how to get touchscreen support work with tablets etc in case 12.04 ? [10:36] Cannot seem to be able to sort that out. [10:36] ome: is there a particular reason you want to disable it? [10:37] How shall I build a complete fresh Ubuntu through CVS Repository or other way with Linux 3.0 [10:37] Ey guys, do you know any auto clicker for Ubuntu? [10:37] linuxfreaker: you don't do that [10:37] ikonia: Why ? [10:37] linuxfreaker: because you install ubuntu using the ubuntu media provided, [10:38] DarwinSurvivor: http://pastebin.com/N373CUb6 [10:38] 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] 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] So I thought I would just decrypt the system and 'fix it [10:39] linuxfreaker: ubuntu comes with a 3.X kernel [10:39] and learn more about encryption. [10:39] linuxfreaker: so you don't need to compile a kernel [10:39] 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] ome: I am talking about Ubuntu 11.04 [10:39] Hi. I installed OpenLDAP on Ubuntu 12.04 Server using this doc: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openldap-server.html Now I issued "ldapsearch -x -LLL -H ldap:/// -b dc=example,dc=com dn" (Postinstall, 3.) and just got "No such object (32)". Does this mean I got no admin user? I got asked for a password during installation though. [10:39] I'm on a livecd and deleted some files inside my actual install by accident, where do they go by default? :P [10:39] linuxfreaker: upgrade to a current ubuntu version [10:39] linuxfreaker: then you have no need to do anything [10:39] meco: at this point, i'd recommend permanently disabling the ntfs swap and rebooting in case any system stuff got corrupted in it [10:40] DarwinSurvivor: I'll do that [10:40] 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] ome: which has the encryption, the host or the guest machine? [10:41] DarwinSurvivor: Guest machine. and I can't boot it up headless cause I have to type in the token. [10:41] Bonjour je suis nouveau aidez moi [10:41] ome: ah, that makes sense [10:41] soa2ii: Welcome to the war. Setup your /etc/hosts as per: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openldap-server.html [10:41] DarkStar1: OK, let's see. [10:42] soa2ii: then run a dpkg-reconfigure slapd to add the correct details as per: http://www.debuntu.org/ldap-server-and-linux-ldap-clients [10:42] so how does ubuntu work on tablets without touchscreen support ? :o [10:42] DarwinSurvivor: Is there a significant difference between swapoff and swapoff -a ? [10:43] 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 [10:43] hey guys.. I have a automounted NTFS drive though fstab.. but the trash bin dose not work.. any ideas how to fix it? [10:43] do you know any automouse for Ubuntu? I mean, any program to click automatically in some region [10:43] DarwinSurvivor: Since I have both partin and file swap currently... [10:43] partition [10:43] 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" [10:44] DarwinSurvivor: I guess I will do that. [10:44] meco: your "free -m" output showed that you no longer had anythin in swap, but it did show that swap did exist [10:45] 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) [10:46] DarwinSurvivor: I'm unable to delete the swapfile on the NTFS partition...! [10:46] soa2ii: after that you should be able to use the server. I went through this hassle too as I am learning the tech. If you need to improve your understanding: http://www.davidpashley.com/articles/ldap-basics.html and http://sites.google.com/site/openldaptutorial/Home Currently on number 2 [10:47] DarkStar1: Cool, thanks. I now reconfigured everything … let's see if it did something [10:47] DarwinSurvivor: sudo rm swapfile [10:47] linuxfreaker: sorry, I disagree [10:47] meco: make sure you take it out of your fstab as well or ubuntu will try loading a non-existant swap file! [10:48] DarwinSurvivor: Already did that! [10:48] DarkStar1: Though it looks like dpkg-reconfigure creates a HDB database and does not use this new ldif based cn=config method? [10:48] Or do I get this wrong? [10:48] DarwinSurvivor: I guess I'll reboot. Maybe I can delete the unused swapfile then. [10:49] soa2ii: you will need to re-populate after the re-configure [10:49] 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.... [10:50] anyone made a custom edid.bin file to force nvidia driver to use modes that aren't being detected properly? [10:50] DarwinSurvivor: You dont have any suggestion on this :) [10:50] Seriously I can't find the files...:D [10:55] linuxfreaker: If you are simply looking for a more up-to-date kernel, you should upgrade to the next release [10:55] DarwinSurvivor: I am trying out 12.04 to see if UEFI works or not? [10:59] linuxfreaker: sorry, the last comment I'd seen from you said you wanted to run it on 11.04. I think I'm losing messages in my irc client somehow :( === kInOzAw| is now known as kInOzAwA [11:00] DarwinSurvivor: Okie..let me brief you [11:00] DarwinSurvivor: I tried installing Ubuntu 11.04 through UEFI mode on Dell 12G server [11:01] linuxfreaker: ok, i had gotten that part [11:01] DarwinSurvivor: Now when I am selecting UEFI mode..the first thing it display is "Error:prefix not set" [11:01] DarwinSurvivor: Then it shows The GRUB menu [11:01] linuxfreaker: ok, and now you are trying it with 12.04? [11:01] DarwinSurvivor: And then it get blank [11:02] DarwinSurvivor: I read somewhere that it is due to kernel < 3.0 [11:02] DarwinSurvivor: Since the new kernel has fix..I am checking if 3.0 solves that [11:02] DarwinSurvivor: 11.04 has 2.6.x kernel [11:03] DarwinSurvivor: If it works ..then my idea was to build Natty with custom kerneled-Ubuntu Natty [11:03] DarwinSurvivor: I recently did this for FreeBSD successfully [11:04] DarwinSurvivor: I read couple of bugs but I am not able to find the right way of fixing it [11:05] linuxfreaker: is there a particular reason why you want to stick with Natty instead of just using a later release? [11:05] Can I ask why not just use 12.04? [11:05] even 11.10 had kernel 3.0.4 [11:08] hey guys, my laptop is becoming slow, is there any way to make it faster? [11:09] drvanon: please use paste.ubuntu.com to post the output of "free -m" [11:09] !notunity [11:09] 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 === q-rban is now known as q0rban [11:09] the last annoying issue i have right now with 12.04 (basically with gnome-shell) is a pretty old one. If i want to resize a window with the mouse the area where the mouse-cursor transforms from normal-mode to "window-grabbing-mode" is still way to small. Is that related with the gnome-shell theme i use or where is that based on? [11:10] background: it makes resizing a window harder then it need to be [11:11] havent found a setting so far where i might be able just to define a pixel-based radius or similar to edit that behaviour [11:11] DarwinSurvivor: https://gist.github.com/2643792 [11:12] fidel_: try alt+middle_click_drag to resize a window easier [11:12] fidel_: at least until the fix the issue (you did file a usability bug report right?) [11:12] DarwinSurvivor, that is just after startup, does it mean i have a problem? [11:13] DarwinSurvivor: not until now as i am not sure which package or setting might be the relevant one [11:13] DarwinSurvivor: thanks for the alt-middle-click hint - but i am really focused on finding a real solution. in case i would know the relevant package i would love to report a bug - while i am pretty sure it might end up in a duplicate ;) [11:14] DarwinSurvivor: I tried with Ubuntu 11.10 having Linux 3.0 kernel but the same issue [11:14] drvanon: no, it means you have LOTS of ram still [11:14] drvanon: ram is not your problem [11:15] DarwinSurvivor, then what does make it slow? [11:15] fidel_: just file the report against unity [11:15] 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)? [11:16] netbook intel atom [11:16] I know it is not that good, but it worked at first [11:16] hello,,, this is the support channel [11:16] ? [11:16] olividir: yes [11:17] 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 [11:18] drvanon: can you install pastebinit "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" and then run "top | pastebinit"? [11:18] 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? [11:19] olividir: please pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) the entire terminal session (or the error message if you are using a GUI) [11:19] 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. === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [11:20] DarwinSurvivor, it throws an error: Traceback (most recent call last): [11:20] File "/usr/bin/pastebinit", line 43, in [11:20] import configobj [11:20] ImportError: No module named configobj === sergio is now known as Guest11770 === Guest11770 is now known as sergios [11:20] Hi all [11:20] drvanon: holy cow, pastebin crashed?!?

[11:21] I would like alt+tab show just all windows, and not group its when is the same application. How I do that? [11:21] DarwinSurvivor, is that a problem? [11:21] plm, perhaps check the ccsm tool and its settings/plugins. [11:21] DarwinSurvivor: well i doubt unity is the matching package as it affects gnome-shell here. not using unity at all [11:22] drvanon: were those 3 lines the only output? [11:22] DarwinSurvivor: If I select partial upgrade it says "cant upgrade, An upgrade from 'precise' to 'oneiric' is not supported with this tool [11:22] 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] DarwinSurvivor, yes [11:22] plm, i have no idea how 'gnome's alt-tab' is differnt . so not really [11:22] i sort of like how unity does the alt-tab stuff. [11:22] DarwinSurvivor, is that the only thing i can do? [11:23] drvanon: do you have any PPA's installed? [11:23] Dr_willis: gnome is just a example. I want not groups (in same applications) in alt+tab [11:23] how can i check for a possible d-dos attack? [11:23] DarwinSurvivor, a what? [11:23] 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] drvanon: ok, lets start with step 1. what version (11.04, 11.10, 12.04) are you running? [11:23] 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] 12.04 [11:24] 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] DarwinSurvivor: So far I have chosen close instead of partial upgrade, cause that way I can still upgrade somethings [11:25] is there any way to see from the logs if there was an attack? [11:25] drvanon: actually, just paste the entire output to paste.ubuntu.com ! [11:25] railsraider, the logwatch program is handy tool to summarize log data [11:25] Dr_willis: ok [11:25] olividir: if "partial upgrade" is an offered solution, chose it. [11:25] and hope it works.. ;) [11:26] DarwinSurvivor: but it can complete [11:26] DarwinSurvivor: *cant [11:26] olividir: of, sorry, nvm, you said that errored out.

[11:43] Good morning [11:43] anyone here? [11:43] several hundered people here.. [11:43] IMBECIL: nope [11:44] LOL [11:44] drvanon: do you know how to edit files from the command line? [11:44] well I just get to the point [11:44] DarwinSurvivor: The "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" gave me "sudohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/977720/" [11:44] olividir: chose yes [11:45] DarwinSurvivor: The "sudo do-releaseöupgrade" gave me, "no new releases were found [11:45] I'm trying to install 12.04 and the option to encrypt my home is checked by default and I can't uncheck it [11:45] olividir: just hit enter [11:45] I was wondering if thats ubuntu's default behavior or something in particular of my setup. [11:45] DarwinSurvivor, gedit The.File [11:45] olividir: oh [11:45] or better: vim file.typoe [11:45] Just installed some system updates, now shortcut key for screen brightness stopped working, fn + arrow up and down, volume key still work tho. [11:46] drvanon: alright, nvm. can you open "software sources" (it's in the application lense) [11:46] Is there an equivalent to /etc/network/if-up.d/ for networks that require authentication (ie a web login screen, not just a password to connect)? [11:46] DarwinSurvivor: I did update again and now i worked [11:46] hays: what version of ubuntu are you *currently* using? [11:47] DarwinSurvivor: but still no upgrades [11:47] olividir: oh, good [11:47] olividir: let me know if you get stuck [11:47] olividir: hmm [11:48] olividir: please run "uname -a" [11:48] DarwinSurvivor, yes, and then? [11:48] DarwinSurvivor: that gives me "Linux olividir 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 20:45:39 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [11:48] " [11:48] drvanon: ok, look through the tabs for something with "partner" in the name and un-check the tickbox next to it [11:49] DarwinSurvivor, (scource code) too> [11:49] > = ? [11:50] drvanon: you should have a window with about 5 tabs at the top, one of them will have a list in it and one of those list items will have the word "partner" in it [11:50] olividir: well that shows that you are still on 11.10's kernel :( [11:51] Hi, I'd like to install ''Precise'', but I can't understand wick version to install, I mean, 32 or 64 bit. Please, can you help me? This is my hardware: Pentium 4 CPU 3.20GHz (32/64 bit) --- ATI 1 GB Memory --- RAM 4 GB [11:51] marsfligth: 64 bit [11:51] DarwinSurvivor: yea... for some reason it just wont upgrade to 12.04 [11:51] but the part upgrade works now :D [11:51] olividir: how customized is your system (excluding user-specific customizations)? [11:52] DarwinSurvivor: 12.04. I just used apt-get update/upgrade [11:52] try apt-get dist-upgrade [11:52] 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] DarwinSurvivor: the partial upgrade works now, and it is running :D:D [11:53] olividir: but you may run into problems very soon since you are half-way between to releases [11:53] DarwinSurvivor: so thank you very much for the help, I'll come back if I get stuck [11:53] olividir: at this point I'd *highly* recommend a reinstall [11:53] No sucess with ask ubuntu or ccsm to config the alt+tab to no group the when is the same application. Are there a ubuntu plugin taht has a Switcher TAB and option "Automatically grid windows on timer in switcher" enabled. I disabled that and really grid not show more, but the same application continuit in just on icon that I can't to choice. any other alternative? [11:53] DarwinSurvivor: I assume you meant the next will be 12.11? [11:53] DarwinSurvivor, yes, unchecked it and now? [11:53] Or is it 10, I always forget which month the fall releases are [11:54] DarwinSurvivor: it is a bit too much hassle to do a reinstall, if this does not work, I will reinstall [11:54] drvanon: ok, close the window and re-run "sudo apt-get update" and see if you still get that error [11:54] DarwinSurviver: this seems to be working though, thank you [11:55] olividir: beware! you may not be receiving security updates in your current situation. it's not an immediate show-stopper, but you have been warned === overbythere is now known as overby[away] [11:55] !away overby[away] [11:55] DarwinSurvivor: what happens if I install the 32 bit? I saw on Ubuntu site that it is recommended [11:55] !away | overby[away] [11:55] overby[away]: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [11:56] DarwinSurvivor: noted [11:56] DarwinSurvivor: thanks for the heads up, I'll attempt to do that from now on. set /away also [11:56] marsfligth: the 32 bit version is only needed if you A) have 32-bit only hardware which you don't or B) you have VERY specialized software you need to run that is 32 bit only (very rare these days) [11:56] DarwinSurvivor, Yay, no errors [11:57] drvanon: ok, now use the update manager and get yourself updated [11:57] marsfligth, 'reccomended' as a way of idiot-proofing things for users that have no idea what 32bit vs 64bit means. [11:57] DarwinSurvivor, accidentially i did already, thats why it took so long [11:57] marsfligth, if you got 64bit hardware. use 64bit. [11:59] drvanon: once you are fully updated, do a reboot and let me know if your performance issues have been resolved [11:59] DarwinSurvivor, brb [12:01] Hi guys [12:01] 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. [12:02] a microphone to playback... err.. you mean it echos out whatver the mic is hearing? [12:02] 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] Socrate, but the system boots? [12:02] dudes, what is a process called whoopsie doing in my ubuntu? [12:02] Dr_willis, yes perfectly [12:03] I have no x right now, trying to diagnose it, run htop, find whoopsie [12:03] 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] 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] 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] however i'm planning a double boot with windows and having grub "hidden" isn't good [12:03] Socrate: The 'official' method of intercepting grub during timeout is holding . You might want to modify /etc/default(grub if you want a visible timeout [12:04] Dr_willis: essentially the same as taking an auxiliary cable and plugging my "Line Out" into my Microphone jack. [12:04] 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] stefg, i tried with the left shift and infact i get "Grub Loading", however just after that the purple screen show up [12:05] Dr_willis, i'll try to set my monitor resolution [12:05] Dr_willis, thank you [12:05] Socrate, it could be grub is using some res the monitor cant handle. - i always set mine to low res text mode. [12:05] why can't i find Sun java in the software center of 12.04? [12:05] !java | Nobby [12:05] 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] 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] Socrate: nvidia card? these tend to have problems with reso's over 800x600 in grub [12:05] Nobby, because oracle changed the licenses [12:06] Hi. Anyone here having troubles with iwlwifi on 12.04? [12:06] ah.. thanks! [12:06] stefg, ati card a mobility 5850. However i got the same issue with both opensource drivers or fglrx [12:06] Dr_willis, thank you for the information though. I appreciate it. [12:06] 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. [12:07] 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] stefg, however thank you first i'll try to set a proper resolution [12:07] Dr_willis, alright. Thank you very much! [12:07] 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] not sure if it works with skype properly or not. [12:08] 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] its messing with my minecraft :P [12:08] Dr_willis, I'll check it out, although it's not quite what I was looking for. None-the-less it's relieving. [12:09] 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] 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 [12:10] Dr_willis, what about audio? [12:10] marsfligth: yes, apparantly they decided 32 bit would be a safe bet [12:10] **sorry not 3 bits, but 32-bit [12:10] snapdata, it has all sorts of plugins and tricks. [12:10] DarwinSurvivor: I have done it but my netbook still cant handle df spotify writer xchat and chromium [12:11] @all,can any one help me? [12:11] snapdata, i just used it mainly to send videos of the grandkids during chats [12:11] Dr_willis, ah, okay. Sounds great. I'm checking it out now. [12:12] 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] 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] 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 [12:13] what could be the problem? [12:13] 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] marsfligth, its suggested that way - to make sure people get somthing that at least works.. its a known 'point of debate' and its mainly a form of idiot-proofing. [12:14] patience | meraj [12:14] Does anyone in here have experience with setting up a 64bit kernel in a 32bit system? I'm putting together a rescue system and need both flavors b/c with a 32 bit kernel i can't chroot to my actual sstem, but 64bit won't run on my Atom based machines. [12:14] dr_willis: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? [12:14] marsfligth, theres talk of changeing it to 64bit reccomended.. [12:14] !patience | meraj [12:14] 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] meraj, i havent used skype in years. [12:14] dose anyone use code:blocks here? [12:14] !notunity [12:14] 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] I have installed a recent SVN form the Pegui ppa .. but the contrib-plugins did not install.. anyone know how to install them? [12:15] 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 [12:16] 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] 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] meraj, you could at least correct your spelling and puncation and be more clear if you are going to repeate every 30 sec. ;) [12:17] 'not able to get any skype option' means what exactly? [12:17] and Skype on Linux is Not as featured as the windows version. [12:18] bcuraboy: did you log out and back in after removing xscreensaver? [12:18] meraj: You need to start skype first, else you will not be able to chat using Skype [12:19] yes [12:19] the only thing that remains installed is wallch [12:19] Anyone else experiencing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/575492 ? [12:19] Launchpad bug 575492 in linux (Ubuntu) "Intel 5100 AGN wireless connection bug" [Medium,Triaged] [12:19] dr-willis: installation is completed for skype but how to get connected with skype in ubuntu? [12:20] meraj, err.. run skype.. and use it? [12:20] is there a way to make xfs partition on a live server with one partition on it? [12:20] 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] marsfligth, they are 'idiot proofing' not an idiot point... [12:21] Dr_willis: sorry, I'w wrong [12:21] 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' [12:22] marsfligth: what a about: 32 bit cpus with more than 3 GB? it is possible... [12:22] The Move to a PAE kernel by default is also a supriseing change in the policy. [12:22] that makes the 'you got lots of ram - be sure to get 64bit' a bit of a less requirement. [12:23] but i still suggest using 64bit os on your 64bit hardware [12:23] Dr_willis: yes, that was more controversional, but they didn't remove the non-pae, did they? [12:23] 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] gwelter, the default installer for ubuntu is pae. the lubuntu cd - uses non-pae it seems. [12:23] gwelter, theres unofficial ubuntu-non-pae cds out also. [12:23] Dr_willis: hmm, only lubuntu? [12:24] gwelter, just skimmed an artical on it on webupd8 blog site. or omgubuntu! [12:25] 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] 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] I can't get push to talk working in teamspeak on Ubuntu 12.04 [12:25] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html [12:25] dafug [12:25] no one der [12:25] DarwinSurvivor, the default kernel differs now it seems. [12:25] I have installed a recent SVN form the Pegui ppa .. but the contrib-plugins did not install.. anyone know how to install them? [12:25] zenix? === esm is now known as Guest14789 [12:25] skramer: can u tell me how to run skype?? [12:26] nyone here using zenix live cd? [12:26] Dr_willis: thanks for the link [12:26] 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] 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 [12:27] marsfligth: the problem is that a lot of users don't even know the difference between ram and hard drives [12:27] 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] 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] 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] buddha_, zenix is not ubuntu. seek support in a zenix irc channel. [12:27] I rember the days befor installing Linux was a 'click next a few times and go!' type setup [12:28] marsfligth: see http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3336 for the brainstorm discussion. [12:28] I am come back. I tried reinstall the driver for VGA.But there are many problems. [12:28] looking for an IRC channel for discussions on tools for software defined audio/video reception === sunil_ is now known as AgentSpock [12:29] The driver AMD supported for my computer can not install on ubuntu 12.04 [12:29] how do i get to zenix irc channel? [12:29] BrianNie, what version of the AMD driver? [12:29] 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] buddha_, the zenix homepage may suggest some. [12:29] RF interfacing [12:30] AgentSpock: maybe #ubuntustudio for the audio-section [12:31] 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] skramer: thax [12:31] My computer is DELL inspiron 1526 and the VGA card is X1200. The card is not supported in the new driver. [12:31] 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] 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] anyway, this is not the right place to treat this question. i'll try to send an email to the Ubuntu team [12:31] zenix doesn't have a similar channel? [12:32] BrianNie, you don't need the proprietary AMD driver, open-source default driver works fine [12:32] thanks for the suggestio to all and for the links as well [12:33] Then I uninstalled the driver from ATI , reboot the computer. It worked. [12:34] dlentz: BrianNie was in earlier with unity problems (unity-2d worked so I suspected driver issues) [12:34] But now , It can work only 2D [12:34] BrianNie: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/05/09/%23ubuntu.html (timestamp: 7:20) [12:35] yes, I think it maybe the unity problem. [12:35] BrianNie: what happened when you had the driver installed? [12:35] Can any one help me knowing whether my nvidia card is used by ubuntu or not [12:36] parth_: the most effective way to find out is to try the live-cd. [12:36] hello [12:36] vous parlez francais [12:36] ? [12:36] BrianNie, have you looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log (pastebin it)?

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 [12:39] 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] additionally one of my monitors is completely off [12:39] like there is background (sometimes) but usually a grey background [12:40] parth_: do you want to check the running installation or a possible new version?

[12:42] arnpro: you should't ever need the root password in an ubuntu installation, just use sudo instead [12:43] 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] some hosting sites do not follow the ubuntu reccomendations and use root. :() [12:43] 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 ? [12:44] jetienne_, use a tool like unetbootin, or other tools from the pendrivelinux site.. is one easy way [12:44] jetienne_, they got tutorials also and other docs. [12:44] Dr_willis: thanks looking [12:44] arnpro: what kind of access do you have to it (it's remote right?) ex: can you access grub? [12:44] 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] what to do after doing live CD [12:44] jetienne_, if your pendrive is large enough - you can have several differnt disrtos on it :) and try them all.

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 » [12:48] 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 [12:49] parth_: chances are it will either work VERY well or VERY badly [12:49] Hey! I have just installed the stock ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but I cannot seem to find the "wacom" packages after executing the "apt-cache search wacom" command. How shall I extend the default sources.list I have right after the installation ? [12:49] libwacom-common - Wacom model feature query library (common files) [12:49] after a bad upgrade to 12.04 (after logging in after restart, couldn't run any applications, icons missing from launcher/dash, general corruption) i have a pretty fresh install of 12.04 (i'm still learning :)). i'm having some issues with audio. i'm using the optical port on the motherboard to my speakers, which seems to work ok...front audio not so much. [12:50] these packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wacom&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all [12:50] i just see some libwacom packages [12:50] arnpro: ok, http://www.microhowto.info/howto/reset_a_forgotten_root_password_using_a_live_distribution.html and start with "chroot into the partition" [12:50] q. what is the difference between "desktop" and "alternate" ? [12:50] Dr_willis: how can I see them ? [12:50] not sure that it worked with the old version...if i play around with the mixers, i can get the microphone input from the front audio jacks to play in the headphones, but that's it. :/ [12:50] the current sources.list is incapable for that [12:50] why there is a need of live cd I can do it without it [12:50] DarwinSurvivor: thanks! I'll get on it [12:50] i got every repo enabled - dont recall needing to add many. but i do have a lot of ppas enabled. [12:50] My USB isn't popping up anywhere I know of on a livecd... any ideas as to how to get access to it? [12:50] djszapi|tb: run "sudo apt-get update" first [12:50] done that quite a few times [12:51] this is the sources.list currently: http://paste.kde.org/473450/ [12:51] sirriffsalot, see if its in the left side pane of the file manager, or mount it by hand [12:51] Dr_willis: how do I mount it by hand?:) [12:51] if i change the output on the "output" tab of sound settings to "headphones" (there is an option) it just plays REALLY LOUDLY out of my speakers, like one click of volume is near-deafening full volume.

[12:54] djszapi|tb: you asked about wacom *and* audio stuff :P [12:54] DarwinSurivor, I pasted the Xorg file at http://paste.ubuntu.com/977809/ [12:54] audio ?? [12:54] Dr_willis: When I do the "mount" command, I can't find my usb device (san disk) in the list...

[12:57] do you ignore my replies, but not the questions ? :-P [12:57] djszapi|tb: sorry, my bad [12:57] hallo =) [12:57] 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'.

[13:09] i need help resizing down a partition parted doesn't work :( says incompatible feature error (using ext3) [13:09] simples yes, whole drive or your /home [13:09] 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] 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 [13:10] <_Matze__> heyho! [13:10] lets go! [13:10] OerHeks: really all¿ thought only home [13:10] Hi [13:10] how can I change all the images that are ona a folder from a .jpeg to a .jpg ? [13:10] 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] 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 [13:11] recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system [13:11] VictorCL: you can use the "rename" command (see man page for examples; feel free to ask for more detail) [13:11] DarwinSurvivor: i asked to encrypt partitions and not jut home, i want to have all system encrypted [13:11] _Matze__: any error-output? [13:11] what should I do? [13:11] yes I need the rename command but for a batch of images [13:11] foobArrr: the alterneate installer is not terribly easy for the average user [13:11] VictorCL: yes, the "rename" command works on batches of images. [13:11] abhinav_singh: what's the output of sudo-apt-get-update ¿ [13:11] hm k [13:12] foobArrr: it's not problem for you or I, but most users basically need the gui installer [13:12] VictorCL: batch-renaming works pretty good with pyrenamer [13:12] if using TwinView, is it possible to set the workspaces to change independently of eachother, on both monitors? [13:12] VictorCL: free tool - useful ui [13:12] <_Matze__> fidel_: at first the sceen keeps black for a long time [13:12] ok , i dont know much , I think will be faster if I rename them 1 by 1 [13:13] VictorCL: that's up to you I guess [13:13] ironhalik, they dont work that way. its one WIDE desktop/workspace basically [13:13] so isnt possible to install ubuntu with encrypted partitions, who call it a great distro? [13:13] VictorCL: are all the .jpeg's lowercase (the extension part)? [13:13] ironhalik, you could pin an app to the 2nd monitor, and have it show on all workspaces if you wanted [13:13] simples: it is. use the alternate installer. [13:14] foobArrr: the alternate installer for what i see only allows to use LVM [13:14] 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] 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] !encryption | simples [13:14] simples: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [13:14] Dr_willis: and what about different configuration? two x servers with xinerama? [13:14] simples: it allows full disk encryption [13:14] simples: lvm in luks, iirc [13:14] 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] 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 [13:15] DarwinSurvivor: i dont want to just encrypt home [13:15] Dr_willis: and probably wouldnt be able to move windows around, right? [13:15] simples: if you partition manually, you can set it up without lvm [13:15] foobArrr: you can not [13:15] ironhalik, xinerama is basically a lesser version of twinview. [13:15] this is error http://pastebin.com/ERF6n81K xangua [13:15] simples: yes, you can === Goku is now known as Raul [13:15] foobArrr: tha installer does not allows it! [13:16] foobArrr: like i said, the installer only allows through LVM [13:16] 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] i was just asking to see if that was already fixed, but seams not [13:16] what do you mean "allow"? feature not there? feature not working? [13:16] VictorCL: "for i in `ls *.jpeg`; do mv $i `echo $i | sed 's/jpeg/jpg/'`; done [13:16] foobArrr: why dont you go check it [13:16] DarwinSurvivor: don't use ls like that [13:17] <_Matze__> \MSG fidel_ [13:17] _Matze__: try to answer in 1 block if possible [13:17] the installer is a crap [13:17] 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] _Matze__: what happens after that black-screen phase during boot? [13:17] jrib: oh yeah, forgot about that [13:17] what does "allowing non authenticated users to relay email using the mail server." relay mean? [13:17] relay email [13:17] jrib: oh well, he left before I posted it anyways [13:17] _Matze__: and are you sure there is enough space free on the system-disk ubuntu is using? [13:17] ironhalik, i normally set up vlc video on moniotr #2. and do my work on #1 ;) [13:18] Dr_willis: hah, same here ;D I guess that should work for me, too ;) [13:18] Wiz_KeeD: that you dont need knowledge of user&pw to send mails over that box most likely [13:18] simples: is there a problem with using home folder encryption? the regular installer makes that dead-simple to set up. [13:19] ironhalik, flash used to have issues going fullscreen with multi monitors.. i havent tried it lately [13:19] !pm > _Matze__ [13:19] _Matze__, please see my private message [13:19] fidel_, i meant the actual term relay [13:19] or is that it? [13:19] fidel_: use | instead of > [13:20] Dr_willis: well, it wont resize, for me :> [13:21] DarwinSurvivor: why?

[13:22] to be specific ext2 [13:23] simples, see the note from xangua > if you wich to encrypt all you'll have to use the alternate installer [13:23] 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] vkarpyuk: you mean like *written* a filesystem specification? [13:23] OerHeks: seams you dont read what i say, the alternate isntaller will allow only to encrypt through LVM [13:23] simples: I just did check, works flawlessly, without lvm. [13:23] abhinav_singh: how ab out you choose your country server or main then [13:23] simples, so it can be done. [13:23] no i mean to develop a kernel module [13:23] it is already set to main server xangua [13:23] simples: and you aren't answering my question. [13:23] foobArrr: foobArrr first you didn not had time for it, and second is not possible [13:23] abhinav_singh: you have to run the update manager again [13:24] any idea, how to run jar files on unity ?! [13:24] OerHeks: can not, and by the way, debian haves a more recent installed, and ubuntu is still with a older one [13:24] simples: first I did, in a vm, second it is, third go troll somewhere else [13:24] s/installed/installer [13:24] fAz4: in theory: having java installed - double-click it and answer the question of your file-manager to execute it [13:25] and it has to be a remote file system [13:25] simples, it can be done. i read you don't like the answer. [13:25] foobArrr: well yes, ubuntu continues using a crap isntalled and does do any to improve it [13:25] vkarpyuk: do you have a support question, or is this just research? [13:25] OerHeks: can not! [13:25] fidel_: i used to set command in gnome [13:25] usp.br [13:25] fidel_: "java -jar" [13:25] OerHeks: i was yesterday on it [13:25] q. if i install ubuntu 12.04, can i switch to a non unity desktop ? [13:25] fidel_: but unity want's to install it's own java (openJDK) [13:26] !notunity | jetienne [13:26] 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] it's a research [13:26] DarwinSurvivor: i guess you means yes [13:26] jetienne: you can also install the kde, xfce or lmde desktop environments from the software center. [13:26] better to to distros that proven to be in a higher level: Mageia, Fedora, Oepnsuse [13:26] DarwinSurvivor: what is "!unity" in the bot message [13:27] vkarpyuk: #ubuntu is used for support only, if you are doing basic research or getting opinions, please use #ubuntu-offtopic [13:27] im considering xubuntu too [13:27] actually its a practical work [13:27] for my university [13:28] 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] ok , thank you!

[13:41] @Darwin I get a list of things [13:41] _Matze__: you asked that less than a minute ago [13:41] _Matze__: we saw you the first time [13:41] I down know if that's what you refer to as ping times [13:42] <_Matze__> sorry, my internet broke down and i didn't know, if the message got sent [13:42] _Matze__: can you boot into recovery mode? [13:43] <_Matze__> how can one boot into recovery mode? [13:43] @Darwin: are you there? [13:43] irkinosor: yes, i'm here [13:43] _Matze__: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/recovery_modus [13:43] _Matze__: select it from grub, hold shift to make grub show at boot [13:44] I think it is a list of ping times indeed [13:44] it keeps running [13:44] irkinosor: what exactly does firefox and chrome show when trying to use them? [13:44] Do I need to do anything special to get NOPASSWD to work in sudoers on ubuntu? [13:44] irkinosor: it will run forever (it's what it does) [13:44] BadCodSmell: you don't want nopasswd, it is a security risk [13:45] @darwin: it looks like. it is still running [13:45] 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. [13:46] @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] I definitely want NOPASSWD, it just isn't working though. [13:46] irkinosor: ok, well that's not "no internet", that's a proxy issue [13:46] BadCodSmell: show us what you got so far [13:47] 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] BadCodSmell, did you logout & login after change ? [13:48] Can anyone walk me through adding a new modeline in Xrandr to enable a dual screen setup with a 2560x1440 and 1920x [13:48] hw ALL=NOPASSWD: /scripts/update.sh [13:48] gstreamer (gstlaunch pulsesrc ! pulsesink) works fine, but my browser doesn't show up in the 'recording' tab. Any ideas? [13:48] 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] BadCodSmell: is hw a user? [13:48] @darwin: btw how do I stop that ping thing? [13:49] 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] irkinosor: just close the terminal window [13:49] BadCodSmell, i think you need to use FULL path /home/$USER/scripts/update.sh [13:49] 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] I figured it out, and it is outrageouly trivial, no +x. [13:50] Sudo just doesn't react in the way you would expect. [13:50] 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] john you would have to make it 1920x2 = 3840x1080 [13:50] I'm fairly certain Flash is not using PulseAudio. Any ideas? [13:51] _Matze__: i've never used vmware, not sure if that would intercept the shift. are you holding it or just pressed once [13:51] @Darwin: what do you mean? I use the proxy provided by the university IT tech [13:51] <_Matze__> ThinkT510 : I tried bot options [13:52] <_Matze__> *both [13:52] 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] I have a question if someone has a moment. Is there a way to download the Ubuntu upgrade (12.04) via the upgrade tool without continuing on until later? [13:52] 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] _Matze__: not sure what to suggest sorry [13:53] ikonia: basically, what information did IT give you for connecting? [13:53] DarwinSurvivor: wrong person [13:53] last spoke >> alphabetical! [13:53] oops [13:53] <_Matze__> ThinkT510: thats bad.. who might be able to help me? [13:53] irkinosor: ^^ [13:53] 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] @Darwin: I was presented with the login window when I first try a page and I put my username and passord [13:53] 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] irkinosor: basically, what information did IT give you for connecting? [13:53] john idk [13:54] @Darwin: I head you [13:54] ThinkT510: curse. Ok. thanks! [13:54] irkinosor: ok, so there was nowhere that you had to enter proxy information into firefox's settings? [13:54] 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] _Matze__: you are in the right place to ask, many tend to use virtualbox rather than vmware [13:55] @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] irkinosor: and you *didn't* make those changes in the guest account? [13:55] @Darwin: I used Oneric like yesterday and these same setting was working jsut fine!!! [13:56] @Darwin: had problems after I upgraded [13:56] _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] ? [13:57] 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] if there were settings you put into your user account but not your guest account, try taking those settings out [13:57] _Matze__: yes [13:58] _Matze__: virtualbox is free and open source, also in the ubuntu repos [13:58] irkinosor: is there a link you can post that points to your university's proxy connection instructions? [13:59] 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] @Darwin: What do you mean? [14:00] 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] Hi dlentz, I am back here. I installed xserver for radeon and ati, but when I login, the desktop and menu all dissapeared like before. and I installed fglrx, now I can reach the desktop but when I execute fglrxinfo the errors are:X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) [14:00] Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX) [14:00] Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) [14:00] Serial number of failed request: 12 [14:00] Current serial number in output stream: 12 [14:00] BrianNie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:01] do I need toclean install to go from 10.4 to 12.4? === CoM|Disconn is now known as CoM`oFF|Disconn [14:01] Kristophwa: clean installs are usually better but you can upgrade directly from 10.04 to 12.04 [14:02] Kristophwa: you will have tu wait untill 12.04.1 releases in a couple of months i've heard [14:02] 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] 12.04.1 is playnned afaik to july 19th [14:02] not much customization [14:02] *planned* [14:02] @Darwin: let me check if it's there because the proxy I have I had to ask them via email.

Can anyone explain to me how to get an older cups (1.5.0) package installed so I can print while this is beeing fixed? [15:42] tSec: it would just be an older ppd you want rather than replacing the whole of cups [15:42] shuhaib start with asking a question [15:42] would it be possible to run a virtual box under ubuntu server, and then have run windows image or something ? [15:43] Duality: yes [15:43] with graphics and everything ? [15:43] 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] I have some files that I untarred.

[15:43] Duality: that's what I have to run my lame printer that doesn't support linux at all :) [15:43] shuhaib: you can us iptables [15:43] wylde did you follow a tutorial to setup ? [15:44] 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] shuhaib: *use, sorry [15:44] shuhaib: you can set the default network action to block and then allow only your corporate IP adresses [15:45] Hi shagoyj [15:45] How it can be the command [15:45] 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] 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] shuhaib: let me look it up really quick [15:45] 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.

Not everyone has the same amount of patience tho! lol :) [15:47] BlindedCannibal, so its an issue with the flash plugin for firefox, or whatever browser you are using [15:47] 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.

Nothing fancy the basic steps I took. Was a while ago.

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:49] 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] Now I want to change it, how should I go? [15:49] Should I format it all and reinstall Ubuntu, as I don't want windows anymore [15:49] thanks :) [15:49] Thanks shagoyjo [15:49] bazhang, Oh, strange it happens with every browser, thanks D: [15:50] auronandace: the ppd hasn't changed as far as i can see. [15:50] ok [15:50] shuhaib: np. iptables is a robust and useful tool. Become proficient and you can sue for a pay raise :-) [15:50] tSec: then it should work the same, i'd have thought [15:50] neokya, wubi install? ubuntu won't be on an ntfs [15:50] auronandace: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/992982 [15:50] Launchpad bug 992982 in cups (Ubuntu) "Network printing fails.

[15:51] vp18, yes, its offtopic here [15:51] so while this is beeing worked on, i'd like to be able to print anyway :) [15:51] neokya: assuming you installed using something like wubi, in windows. yeah, format and reinstall. === lun4tic_ is now known as lun4tic [15:51] woot [15:51] wylde you made that website ?

[15:52] 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] Duality: it's been seriously neglected for a while now too lol [15:52] i know i can do nousb with vilinuz, but what about no1394 ? [15:52] wylde, nice site :) [15:52] e.g. no firewire, how would I do that? [15:52] neokya, thats a wubi install then? [15:52] Duality: thanks :) [15:52] Yes, it's wubi [15:52] so noone can help me installing an older cups version? [15:53] bazhang: not necessarily, just something simple like this: http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/features [15:53] bazhang: an equivalent I guess :) [15:53] neokya, and you want only ubuntu, and get rid of windows completely? [15:53] yes [15:53] exactly [15:53] neokya, then get the cd and install, choose use entire disk [15:53] I'm slowly weening ourselves from Apple to PC's with Ubuntu [15:54] 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] @bazhang, Can I do that without formating these two OSs? [15:54] tdelam, you can check in the package manager/software centre, not familiar with iterm2, sorry [15:54] thanks :) [15:54] rockets, works the same way as in older versions [15:54] i'll poke about [15:54] compdoc, yeah, but this is my first time setting it up :) [15:55] hi [15:55] compdoc, I'm trying to follow tutorials I've found for older versions but I just can't get it to work. [15:55] rockets, is bridge-utils installed? that should be default if you install qemu-kvm [15:55] neokya, dual boot? sure. the installer will see windows and tell it to install side by side [15:55] compdoc, yes it is installed. [15:55] compdoc, there is a working NAT bridge [15:55] compdoc, but I'm trying to create a bridge that allows my guests access to the local network [15:55] rockets it's either NAT or bridged [15:56] rockets, how many network cards in the system? [15:56] 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] compdoc, two [15:56] good [15:56] Does editing a file with sed not marked it as changed for svn? [15:56] compdoc, MonkeyDust, I set up this http://pastie.org/3884913 [15:56] And then I set my guest OS to use br0 [15:56] !info terminator | tdelam take a look at this [15:56] 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] via virt-manager [15:56] neokya: after that remove the ntfs and expand ext4 into it [15:56] but they can' [15:56] whats your /etc/network/interfaces file look like? Also, did you add a network card later, or was it there when you installed? [15:57] but they can't get dhcp [15:57] So no grub / mdadm wizards around, huh? [15:57] compdoc, there when I installed [15:57] good [15:57] compdoc, full interfaces file: http://pastie.org/3884918 [15:57] I then set the guest to use br0 via virt-manager's "Details" pain [15:57] 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] pane* [15:58] Does Ubuntu have an equivalent of snapshot.debian.org? where prior versions of packages are stored? [15:58] (versions not listed on packages.ubuntu.com) [15:58] Praxi: if you used ppas then expect stuff to go wrong [15:58] Praxi: run a backup - then start the upgrade. in best case it just works without issues - but you never know (backup) [15:59] Praxi: a fresh install will always be more straightforward [15:59] rockets, I think its that file - let me show you mine. just a minute... [15:59] 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] wylde, ubuntu server keeps surprising me with stuff it can do [15:59] 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] away? [15:59] hmm not sure on the ppas, any way to check if I've done that? [15:59] auronandace: using tons of ppas here and never had upgrader issues based on that fact [15:59] 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] Duality: you're only limited by your hardware really :) [15:59] compdoc, greatly appreciated [15:59] foolsh: yeah, no separate /boot on this server [15:59] abrotman: You might be able to find earlier builds on http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/ [15:59] eddytv: Since you are way past that point I can't really help [15:59] 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] irv: just mount your install an go to the folder. You don't need to take ownership [15:59] took me like 3 days to get this setup how I wanted, really don't want to reload hehe. [15:59] ah, managed to do it. [16:00] neokya, the installer will format it for you, if that is what you choose [16:00] fidel_: the amount of people i've seen with dependency issues thanks to ppas is amazing [16:00] irv: how broken is the install? will it boot? [16:00] jrib: it says permission denied since i'm booted from the livecd [16:00] irv: use sudo [16:00] foolsh: thanks for taking the time to reply at least :) [16:00] irv: gksudo nautilus for example [16:00] it boots, but once it gets the the login screen i can't type [16:00] ahhhhh silly me :D [16:00] thanks man [16:00] 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. [16:01] 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] 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] when running "adduser --encrypt-home", i want to have a bunch of symlinks set up to say /var/mail/. 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 @host " to adduser.local doesn't work either because the user creation process hasn't completed, so [16:01] logging in via ssh at that point still sees the non-decrypted directory. any ideas? [16:01] irv: once you backup your docs, you can ask for help troubleshooting yo,ur intsall [16:01] irv: boot into single user mode and run apt-get -f install [16:01] wylde, RDP ? [16:02] Is it possible to hack the locked wifi network [16:02] umuu [16:02] 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] Duality, remote desktop? [16:02] rockets: http://pastie.org/3884943 [16:02] 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] shuhaib, thats not ontopic here [16:02] 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] compdoc, whoa, what does inet manual do? I've never seen that before [16:03] bazhang, not really good at recognizing words that are shortend === test1 is now known as AhmedHashem1 [16:03] rockets, means do not assign an ip address to the bridge [16:03] jrib: turns out it may have actually been encrypted lol [16:03] damn it. [16:03] !encrypt | irv [16:03] irv: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory === AhmedHashem1 is now known as prog1 [16:03] irv: there should be info there on accessing it [16:03] Is it possible to hack the locked wifi network [16:04] compdoc, you can just do auto eth1 and not actually set an inet, and it still brings it up i think [16:04] shuhaib, stop asking. [16:04] shuhaib, I told you its offtopic here [16:04] yeah, i tried clicking the 'access you rprivate data' [16:04] also running ecruptfs-mount-private and it says it's not setup properly [16:04] can anyone help with a glib-compile-schema error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/978092/ [16:04] this is from the livecd [16:04] I am experiencing choppy window movement in Ubuntu 12.04. How can I make it better? :) [16:04] rockets, I dont think your interfaces file is using the standard way, but it might work that way [16:04] from the elevated nautilus window [16:04] OptiWork: ENOCONTEXT [16:04] shuhaib: /msg alis list *backtrack* [16:04] what I am soory [16:05] compdoc, well my way currently doesn't work, so I'll deign to try yours :D [16:05] 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] :) [16:05] 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] DanielConvissor: can you do that if the home directory is encrypted? [16:05] rockets, seems the main difference is that I define eth1 and eth2 before making them bridges [16:05] have my script ssh in as the user and [16:05] jrib: ^ [16:06] jrib: ? [16:06] DanielConvissor: oh. I guess that works too. Both are a bit kludgy [16:06] I wanna to disable all the sites even gooogle [16:06] OptiWork: you should provide context [16:06] provide context to what? [16:06] need to provide only two sites [16:06] shuhaib, you were told to use iptables for that [16:06] jrib: yes. surprised there's no way to have adduser act upon the decrypted directory either before or after encryption. [16:06] OptiWork: your question, your error... [16:07] Ok compdoc, how's this look: http://pastie.org/3884963 [16:07] !ufw | shuhaib [16:07] 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] shuhaib: ^^ read :) [16:07] Hi ! guys I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on my Inspirion Dell Laptop and i facing problem .When i locked my screen by ctl+alt+l and try to unlock it nothing happend and my display does not work so i unable to unlock it .I unlock it via restarting lighdm with sudo service lightdm restart via login into tty how can i fix this problem [16:07] rockets, looks good [16:07] sure [16:07] I'll try and get back you If I have any doubt [16:08] DanielConvissor: probably bug-worthy if adduser.local doesn't work [16:08] jrib: glib-compile-schema (compiles the user environment) mine is erroring hence the pastebin which shows the error and in what part of the schema it errors at, the context is there.) [16:08] how do i get a root terminal from the 12.04 livecd? [16:08] irv sudo -i [16:08] thx [16:09] not using ctl +alt + f1 [16:09] Hi all. During a 'Move to - Desktop' operation, my system locked up. -power cycled, - No OS found. Booted with Live CD... fdisk options x then d shows my partition table is almost entirely 00000000 (zeros) Any ideas ? Im in crisis mode here.. and wtf is letting anything overwrite the partition table ?!?!?! [16:09] wylde, says unknown option --port0 [16:09] when i try to unlock it it does not show login scrren [16:09] !msg | shuhaib [16:09] shuhaib: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [16:09] when i try to type ecryptfs-mount-private from the root terminal in my home dir i get the msg "ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly" [16:09] Duality: moment sorry [16:10] any other ideas? :D [16:10] wylde no problem :) [16:10] I've got an identical system right next to me... i'm wondering if I can copy the partition table from one machine to another.... any ideas ? [16:10] Whitor, that's a moment of not niceness to experience with a move operation. [16:10] Whitor: drive making strange noises? === sysf1 is now known as jiugantangmaiwu [16:10] OptiWork, SSD no noise [16:10] here all the messgaes are meesed up [16:10] Whitor: firmware on drive updated? [16:10] buggy SSD firmware... [16:10] is possible. [16:11] * OptiWork nods [16:11] no problem I can text it here [16:11] Duality: typo on my part. I should fix that it should be '--port 0' [16:11] most common cause of SSD issues. [16:11] OptiWork, how the heck do I do that in linux ? Its a drive, I don't normally update firmware on drives. [16:11] wylde, ok lol :) [16:11] One of my machine I am getting initram fs error [16:11] I'll do that now [16:11] How can I solve the problem [16:12] 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] wylde same for attaching iso image also port0 ? [16:12] or ISO booted yeah. [16:12] please some one [16:12] Duality: probably, I'll get those fixed hehe doing it right now. [16:12] anyone know if PF_RING works on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS i am trying to compile but looks like i am missing linux/pm_qos_params.h [16:13] shuhaib: did you run memtest? [16:13] OptiWork, I don't like automatically blaming everything other than the os. Its like... Until I prove it is otherwise.. it is assumed to be otherwise. [16:13] yea [16:13] shuhaib: verify your ram is functioning properly [16:13] Windows loading properly [16:13] you'll have to find out your SSD vendors commitment to support. [16:13] its dual boot machine [16:14] 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] 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] 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] yea [16:14] 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] Nad i done one more step [16:15] 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] I put live cd of ubnutu and mount the / partion and done fsck against [16:15] 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] and it worked couple of days [16:15] But after some times it started again [16:15] !enter | shuhaib [16:15] shuhaib: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[16:17] abcdef: did you traceroute to the site? Maybe they're down for maint, maybe someone plowed into a fiber box. [16:18] Whitor: good luck, also do check the drive's site for firmware [16:18] wylde, lol :P [16:18] OptiWork: ping is working fine.... will look into mtr, just in case [16:18] hi [16:18] the files an't so much of an issue... I have most (maybe all) already on an external HD. [16:18] Whitor: I had a machine that would dump everything after 2 days of working great until I updated firmware, no problems since. [16:19] 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] From clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 [16:19] 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] after upgrade to 12.04 my custom launchers from gnome2 gone, how to find it? there are present in unity panel but i cannot edit them (i have there some custom scripts to control fans) [16:19] join NotLarry === Walther_ is now known as Walther [16:19] and what is the TGTV in sensors? [16:20] 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] 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] FreeRun: what are you trying to do? [16:21] however some admin at the es repo should look into it [16:21] abcdef: could be in process of mirroring over. [16:21] abcdef: All the CC.archive.ubuntu.com are the same as archive.ubuntu.com, mostly (CC = country code) [16:21] 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] 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] brb [16:21] ok, will try to get manually my packages from the main source then, thanks [16:22] Ubuntu 12.04, no graphical desktop [16:22] okay, this doesn't appear to be working [16:22] Duality: :) yep [16:22] pehraps it'd be more productive to troubleshoot my failed 12.04 upgrade [16:22] :o [16:22] irv: O.o [16:22] Walther: That'd be the server edition or the minimal install. Or do you mean your X (GUI) fails to load? [16:23] * OptiWork came here to get a question answered, ended up fielding a few fly balls. [16:23] 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] 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] Duality: I keep all my install media as an iso on my "server" as well as my physical disks.

[16:24] compdoc, alright, booting a VM now. Here goes nothing. [16:24] logging in now.. hopefully i can just grab my documents now :P [16:25] rockets, good luck [16:25] OptiWork: nope coz i don;t know what is that important string [16:25] hmm, i just have a blue screen that says 'ubuntu desktop' at the top [16:25] without them i have about 80% of CPU [16:25] with a clock and my user name [16:25] compdoc, DHCP SUCCEDED. YOU ARE MY GOD. [16:25] an 120% on TGTV [16:25] rockets, I love kvm [16:25] How can I connect to Ubuntu that's loaded on vmware? I've tried everything.

Upgrades aren't too reliable in Ubuntu, unfortunately, a clean install normally works better. [16:26] OptiWork: what package provides /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.gschema.override ? [16:27] !find /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.gschema.override [16:27] Package/file /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.gschema.override does not exist in precise [16:27] Hm. [16:27] jrib: Doesn't seem like anything in the repos, or maybe something from an older release, it would seem [16:27] jrib: it's customization that I've done to the launcher with all the apps that I want the users to access. [16:27] OptiWork: so you've created this file? [16:28] 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] OptiWork : Back, sorry, for the sudden departure, emergency staff meeting. [16:28] FreeRun: check http://paste.ubuntu.com/978196/ for an example of one of mine. [16:28] jrib: yes. [16:28] ok [16:28] ...anyway, I'll try and continue on my own [16:28] OptiWork: the file contents would also be good context to provide :) [16:28] jrib: in dconf-editor I can see that the "Type" is set to "as" [16:28] Walther: Ah, sorry. Well... I have no idea how to help without any idea of what might have really happened, sorry [16:29] Does anyone know how to add an _existing_ Intel Matrix RAID array to a Linux installation? [16:29] OptiWork : It seems like I can mv the files and CP them, but not do anything else? [16:29] jrib: but I never changed it I just used what was there. [16:29] hmm... ok, but i know how to add new, but i need to RESTORE old [16:29] OptiWork: I'm confused because you just told me you created it [16:29] 。。。 [16:29] 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. [16:30] OptiWork: i have custom launcher called "fan1" how to find them in system? [16:30] anybody can help me with this : I get black screen after 20-30 minutes on ubuntu 12.04. Can't log in terminal or do any shit...just restart!! [16:30] FacedeProut: check sensors... my laptop burning with new install with compiz, better is under gnome [16:30] but the same problem... [16:31] OptiWork: it's on the same partition as /, so I'm not sure I follow. And the permissions are fine. I can move, delete, copy the files.

The error comes from the location of the "favorites" (key for the lack of a better word) that I didn't set. [16:31] FacedeProut: checked the screensaver settings? [16:31] FreeRun: sensors? [16:31] it's bot [16:31] OptiWork: also, wouldn't I be getting "permission denied" not "no such file or directory"? [16:31] yes, CPU, GPU temp. [16:32] CPU GPU temp [16:32] 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] s/sensors/lights/ [16:32] anybody know how to manually set up fan speed? [16:32] theadmin: no it looks like it still running...its just a black screen and doesnt respond to any keyboard entry [16:32] 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. [16:33] actually fans working only with 2000rpm [16:33] FreeRun: which card? [16:33] even if CPU has 80 degress :| [16:33] Optiwork : Hence my puzzlelation XD [16:33] FreeRun: and do you have the drivers for it installed? [16:33] FacedeProut: I see... hm. [16:33] 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] OptiWork: so if you remove this .override file and compile your settings again, does the file get recreated? [16:33] i think yes... i have upgraded from 10.04 lts [16:33] when everything works fine [16:34] everything worked fined in 10.04... [16:34] and maybe important thing is that i'm running it on mac book pro 3.1 [16:34] snapdata: methinks Flash uses ALSA directly, I have no idea if they have any pulse support [16:34] jrib: it would just compile without error but also with the "standard" launcher items === jiugantangmaiwu is now known as bycwsxd [16:35] snapdata: does pulseaudio show that flash is trying to use the correct "recording" device when the flash is running? [16:36] OptiWork: pastebin the contents of the relevant .override file please [16:36] because the flash in 12.04 doesn't let you to change and block settings [16:36] 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? [16:37] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/978213/ [16:37] jrib: was already doing that when you asked ;P [16:37] (the power goes on, it makes a vain attempt to start -the fan spins for about half a turn- then it stops, it does not show any initial system information) [16:37] * woolala pulls out webcams and microphones rapidly [16:38] OptiWork: oh so is this favorites thing something you manipulate through the interface? [16:38] any way to run a terminal command to make nautilus show hidden files by default? [16:38] ctrl-h and the view menu is borked [16:39] hi is there a "silverlight" plugin for Ubuntu? [16:39] hm is there any command in netstat or whatever, to see which ports are open/active? [16:39] anyone knows what i can look into a problem i'm having- my mouse is registering two click instead of 1.. [16:39] alesan: moonlight [16:39] alesan: last i saw, moonlight [16:39] jrib: this is just the Unity Launcher, and the favorites is the order in which the buttons appear on the launchbar. [16:39] apan_, netstat -tn? [16:39] theadmin, irv so I install it in apt-get? [16:39] !moonlight | alesan [16:39] alesan: For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. [16:40] or perhaps a way to tell nautilus to go to a particular path by specifying the path? [16:40] E: Unable to locate package moonlight-plugin-mozilla [16:40] bakarat: no, thanks anyway [16:40] auronandace, that command does not work [16:40] irv: That one is possible, just "nautilus /opt" (replace /opt with your path) [16:40] alesan, just searching for moonlight in synaptic should do the trick i assume === 77CAAXC17 is now known as CookieMon [16:40] !click [16:41] alesan: hmm, must be outdated sorry [16:41] bakarat, it only finds a library [16:41] OptiWork: I don't believe you should quote the favorites list [16:41] alesan, o, i'm sorry i've never actually used moonlight or silverlight for that matter [16:42] OptiWork: try getting rid of the " [16:42] bakarat, nor me, I hate the mono stuff, the developers are traitors that want MS to have success [16:42] no right click menu on launcher. Any idea? [16:42] alesan, that's the spirit! :) [16:42] OptiWork: both of them obviously :P [16:42] I need some help installing termpkg in ubuntu 11.10 server. Can anybody tell me how to add an appropriate repository so I can use apt to install it? Actually all I really need out of that pkg is ttyd. [16:42] bakarat, but I need to see a shitty website that uses silverlight [16:43] alesan, that sucks, i've never actually been on a site that has needed silverlight before [16:43] .... [16:43] jrib: /me feels like a fktard now [16:43] !language | OptiWork [16:43] OptiWork: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [16:43] exit [16:43] mash__: You want /quit [16:43] do you need "a" harddisk just to boot a pc? (i know it's a stupid question, but my pc ain't doing much of anything atm) [16:43] jrib: every other setting was in "" and this was the ONLY thing that didn't require them, go figure. [16:44] OK thanks bye!!! [16:44] OptiWork: heh [16:44] bakarat: no [16:44] jrib: thanks for haning in there with me on it [16:44] bakarat: Not really, you can successfully boot a PC from just a CD/USB stick. [16:44] OptiWork: no problem [16:44] auronandace, theadmin crap, then i guess i got bigger problems [16:44] ok now to test and see if they all work with a new user [16:44] Hi GUys, i have a problem with Ubuntu Server 12.04... The Static IP keeps dropping connection on Reboot [16:45] good afternoon [16:45] bakarat: what is your problem exactly? [16:46] bakarat: elaboration requested [16:46] first time here installed ubuntu 11.10 on a usb and it doesnt want to shut down [16:47] 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] OmaR: Happens from time to time, appending "reboot=bios" to the kernel line should help [16:47] 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] output at all, i can't access bios or anything [16:48] hi... can Ubuntu 12.4 iso fit on a CD...? [16:48] me-1: Of course. [16:48] bakarat, that most likely suggests complete hardware failure then [16:48] sweet it seems to save changes fine I want to set it up to recover windows [16:48] me-1: Surely, it's intended to. [16:48] 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 [16:49] 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] 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] jpds, theadmin but its 701 mb where cds only have 700 mb capicty [16:49] precautions* [16:49] me-1: Where did you get the image from? [16:49] 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] 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? [16:50] can anyone help to install bcm4312 chipset (wireless drivers) [16:50] jpds, ubuntu.com downloading now and DAP telling me its 701.29 MB [16:50] bakarat: just make sure you touch the case before touching any cards if you don't have an anti-static strap. [16:50] jpds: Confirmed: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso - Chromium says "701MB". [16:50] Nevertheless I think it's supposed to fit on a CD anyway %) [16:50] wylde, that's pretty much what i do (don't have the strap :)) [16:50] mafiaboy: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [16:51] wylde, out of curiosity, do you feel like a jolt or something if you mess up? or does it just die silently? [16:51] mafiaboy: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [16:51] meinwhile Chuck Norris... http://i.imgur.com/gZe3p.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qTJHK.png http://i.imgur.com/TRn2K.png [16:52] bakarat: good stuff then :) If you here/feel a "shock" (like rubbing your feet on a carpet and just touching someone) then worry. heh [16:52] wylde, k :) [16:52] chuck_Norris:http://pastebin.com/wnKAz5mw [16:52] bakarat: if you're touching a card. [16:52] well i guess i know what i'll be doing tonight.... [16:53] mafiaboy: paste it on http://paste.ubuntu.com [16:53] please [16:53] thanks for the feedback everyone! gonna go get my hands dirty :) [16:54] mafiaboy, then use apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [16:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/978246/ [16:55] Tux :hope that it's better than broadcom-STA [16:56] mafiaboy: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [16:56] ;) [16:56] thanx Tux and Chuck_Norris [16:56] i'm not the only one that can't get a wireless connection eh? [16:56] Personally, I have an Atheros wireless card that works "out of the box" on my Ubuntu machine [16:56] np [16:57] peppermint_, can we get the output of lspci [16:57] I badly need to hook my machine to the internet with Ethernet then I can (possibly) run 100% open source on it [16:57] the only thing that was keeping me away from ubuntu was broadcom-STA [16:58] could anyone help me with connecting with my wlan in peppermin 2? I installed the additional (broadcom) driver [16:58] going to reboot now [16:58] hope it will work [16:58] peppermint_: Peppermint is not a supported Ubuntu derivative, sorry, please try searching for their channel. [16:58] I did, and no one was there and they said you guys might be able to help [16:59] peppermint_: its not supported here [16:59] i have problems using autotools to create makefiles and stuff.. can anyone recommend a good channel for that? [16:59] 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 [17:00] hi, i'm using ubuntu 12.04, just switched to gnome 3.4 from unity, and wanted to install the gnome3-globalmenu program, though it seems its somehow not working. is this common or am i doing something wrong? === AndroidBeing_ is now known as AndroidBeing === jalrnc_ is now known as jalrnc [17:00] thank you for the help [17:00] cool, thanks anyhow. have a good one === jedney is now known as JonEdney [17:01] Testing irc ubuntu [17:01] !test | digiman [17:01] digiman: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [17:02] got it! [17:02] Fucked up OS. Install ubuntu they said... It will be easy they said === tyler is now known as Guest62034 [17:02] Traumatizer: what problems you having? [17:03] thanx guys got .......wireless working first time (not broadcom-STA this time) [17:04] 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] I even checked the disc using the buil-in tool and it is fine. [17:04] cremetorte, dpkg -L automake -- there's a imfmk/ or something like that to parse IMakefiles [17:05] 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] === ultrixx_ is now known as ultrixx [17:06] 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? [17:08] econdudeawesome, i'm not sure about that.. but i suspect it may have something to do with /etc/xdg/autostart [17:08] 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 === quiesense is now known as quiescens [17:08] jagginess: you wanna see all your start up aplications? [17:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/978277/ [17:09] Chuck_Norris, econdudeawesome. [17:09] Traumatizer: its good we all have a choice of what to use [17:09] me no comprender jagginess [17:10] mafiaboy, apt-get install xw:i386 ? [17:10] 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] hi all, how can i run a script or program when i insert an usb stick? [17:11] matriz, has to do with udev, it's not for the faint of hearted [17:11] Traumatizer: couldn't be more opinionated to volunteers who have nothing to do with the development eh? [17:11] jagginess: thnks i'll google it, is it the only way? [17:12] Hello people. Somebody here familiar with the bluetooth stack? [17:12] 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] 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] matriz, the keyword for dbus, is dbus policy when doing a google [17:13] jagginess: thnks again, just found the UsbDriveDoSomethingHowto docs [17:13] 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. [17:14] If i were you I would distantiate yourself as far away from this stupid distro as possible auronandace. [17:14] jagginess: not so much. Any other ideas where the settings might be stored/ [17:14] ? [17:14] :) [17:14] jagginess: figured it out. Now its super+alt+rightclick.... [17:14] Traumatizer: thats my choice, i'm sorry your experience has made you bitter [17:14] econdudeawesome, it can be something with a directory called "autostart" somewhere in ~ [17:14] what a strange way to go about it [17:15] econdudeawesome, what does that do? [17:15] is there a command line flag to launch nautilus with the 'show hidden files' option turned on? [17:16] irv, probably you can make a desktop link to a script that calls gconf, and have gconf enable/disable that feature [17:16] jagginess: brings up the alternative menu to remove icons from the gnome classic quick launch menu [17:16] econdudeawesome: you wanna see all yours star up applications? [17:16] 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] Chuck_Norris: no, not start up. Quick launch in Gnome Classic. [17:16] Chuck_Norris: but I found the solution [17:16] econdudeawesome: ok [17:16] jagginess: i'm trying to just launch it once [17:16] 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] Traumatizer: graphics cards can be problematic, what card do you use? [17:17] 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 [17:18] 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] auronandace, Intel GMA series. [17:18] irv, try running nautilus from an xterm box, and see for any error/warning messages [17:18] will do. [17:18] irc, (a more immediate avenue) [17:18] it's so broken that i can't even interact with the terminals [17:18] :s [17:19] but i just found a workaround i think.. launched nautilus as root and i was able to navigate to the path [17:19] 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] and the menus show up as root === jsoa_ is now known as jsoa [17:19] that's no good, go to tty1, and try apt-get --reinstall install gnome-shell [17:19] Traumatizer: how new is it? [17:20] auronandace it's in a laptop that is ~2 years old [17:20] irv, is this supposed to be 12.04 or you using mixed repos? [17:20] Traumatizer: is the intel card the only graphics card in there? [17:20] hi guys how to enable unity bar icons animation? [17:20] Quoted from the ubuntu forums: "System V runlevel error can only occur when your graphic card isn't recognized" [17:20] auronandace yes it is [17:20] 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] Is there any way I can work directly on/with files located on a network drive? [17:21] Traumatizer: most strange, what is the exact model? [17:21] i use gnome shell in a intel 128 with dual core 2.0 ghz and works fantastic [17:22] 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] does someone know how to install vlc 1.1.9 on 12.04? [17:22] auronandace, Asus EEE PC 1005HA [17:23] Traumatizer: sorry, i meant the intel card [17:23] 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] hi guys how to enable unity bar icons animation? [17:23] gaston_, looks like it might be a connection issue...or, are you using the default settings for the repositories [17:23] auronandace, my bad: GMA 950 [17:23] khaos, have you tried poking around in myUnity [17:24] Or Ubuntu-Tweak or ccsm [17:24] 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] dragonfly: Let me try that. But if i Install it than, won't it still not recognize it? [17:24] AyaneForever, is this an app? [17:24] Is there a way to open a "run" box in Ubuntu 12.04 to run a single terminal command? [17:24] dragonfly, really strange. [17:24] Yes. You are referring to changing the animation options of the panel on the left, right? It's my USC [17:24] in my one pc the animations works ok but in the other not [17:24] ** It's in Ubuntu Software Centre [17:25] without any additional package AyaneForever [17:25] rockets: alt+f2 [17:25] irv, thanks d00d [17:25] AyaneForever, thanks [17:25] rockets: np, it actually saved me in recovering these documents juts now [17:25] :d [17:25] 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] hehe [17:25] handy lil shortcut [17:25] Traumatizer: and you are trying 12.04 right? [17:26] auronadace 11.10, because that was the version they used in the guide on the ubuntu website [17:26] I thought the newer version might not be compatible [17:26] Traumatizer: probably haven't written new documentation yet [17:26] 12.04 only came out a few weeks ago [17:27] dragonfly: i am trying to install old version, i have 2.0.1 already [17:27] but a functionnality i need is broken [17:27] Traumatizer: i'd expect 12.04 may work better, lts releases tend to get better testing [17:27] 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 :) [17:28] hey, what does this mean?: https://gist.github.com/2646954 [17:28] Traumatizer: awesome [17:28] Traumatizer: hope it works for you [17:28] is there any channel for mba preperation or cat or finance [17:28] auronandace Thanks for your help, sorry for my temper problems [17:28] auronadace, should've never let myself act that way to people that help me for no gain [17:28] Traumatizer: no worries === ben__460 is now known as bennidhamma [17:29] 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? [17:29] dekuked: it means just what it says, the file or folder debian/changelog does not exist [17:30] dragonfly: and yes, i am using the default settings. [17:30] irv, I wish I could figure out how to remap that shorcut - it's not in the shorcuts section of the keyboard control panel [17:32] Any channel for MBA? [17:32] nba? [17:32] rockets: sudo apt-get install gconf-editor [17:32] mba [17:33] hey, anyone knows of what i can use to re-map my left and right mouse buttons? [17:33] Apps-compiz-1-plugins-unityshell-screen0-options execute [17:33] irv, yeah, that's going to probably have a lot of gnome deps I don't want. I'll leave it as is. [17:33] !alis | jiltdil [17:33] jiltdil: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [17:33] *shrugs* only way to find out is to check :] [17:33] I have an encrypted home drive. When I log in locally, ~/ contains my user data. When I ssh in, my user data is still encrypted. How do I access my data from an ssh connection? [17:34] kgee: are you ssh as your user? [17:34] irv: yes I am [17:34] kgee: what ubuntu version is this? [17:35] jagginess: if you just want the left and right swapped, isn't there an option for a left handed mouse somewhere? [17:35] irv: ubu12... in my 'replacement' home drive is what looks like the encrypted volume, a .Private folder, and what seems to be a desktop launch icon called 'Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop'. Can I launch this without a desktop> [17:36] join #fa [17:36] kgee: read the README.txt [17:36] there's a way to do it via cmdline [17:36] irv: D'oh. Thanks. I'll RTFM [17:36] anyone here on the -doc team? [17:36] i literally just had a very similar issue 30 mins ago :D [17:37] irv: worked like a charm [17:37] kgee: perfect [17:37] kgee: pretty sure that should happen automatically with pam... [17:37] irv: would there be a login script/hook I could use to automate this? [17:37] 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? [17:38] 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] intrader: try running "ccsm" [17:38] zykotic10, sudo? [17:38] intrader: no [17:38] well yeah, if you're trying to have it persistently mounted like that then that's probably not what you want [17:39] i'm not sure how to map your home dir to that encrypted one [17:40] zykotic10, aha - is that available via gui? [17:40] intrader: unity? i have no idea. [17:40] 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] kgee: put it in autostart? [17:41] run on login to your ssh session? [17:41] or your local session? [17:41] How do I make each logged in users shared by Samba, as well as sharing a 'shared resource' to three users with read and write? [17:41] krababbel: that was the question; I know what I want, but I'm used to slack/arch style systems so the 'where to put it' on ubuntu is the next step [17:41] yay! all the docs are copied. fresh install of 12.04 shortly :D [17:42] kgee: for a local desktop login, there is the app 'startup applications' [17:42] zykotic10, thanks I will run it from the terminal [17:42] does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to ssh into my Ubuntu 12 box, even after adding my connecting IP to /etc/hosts.allow?

[17:44] ^^ anything i need to modify in /etc/ssh/ssh_config? [17:45] In ubuntu 12.04 how do I sync my music on my iphone without deleting the old music on it [17:45] hmm, catch 22... When my user logs in, I want to run a script that mounts their encrypted home drive. The most common place to put this would be in ~/.bashrc, which unfortunately is located in the encrypted home drive. Help? [17:47] 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? [17:48] fattobpee, what is the error message that you get? [17:48] 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] fattobpee, have you done a NAT in your adsl box? [17:48] kgee, you're talking about an ssh login, correct? [17:48] kgee: .bahsr [17:48] bune la [17:48] in 10.04, is there a way to share a folder(say music) between local users on that machine?

[18:16] intrader: Yep. [18:16] the problem is that i can't write, only read [18:16] llutz: for the terminator suggestion earlier [18:16] Zentaur, can you paste your /etc/fstab ? [18:16] sorry i'm tottally newto ubuntu [18:16] Mrokii, I will do a save and try it, thanks [18:16] llutz: I'm delayed in my responses :) (working) [18:17] well, i'm in a separerte computer, one moment... [18:17] i just change the server to main server and then did apt-get update but it is still updating from ubuntuarchive.hnsdc xangua [18:17] Zentaur, that's ok. I don't use ubuntu. [18:17] intrader: Was about to suggest a backup, heh. Just in case. But I didn't have problems with the last two or three upgrades, so maybe Ubuntu is getting better at it. [18:18] Mrokii, Back-ups never hurt, regardless.

[18:19] DrShoggoth: it depends of your hardware [18:20] Zentaur, can you do fsck on your disk? [18:20] I have 4GB exactly [18:20] how do i do that apn? [18:20] can I change it to some other server xangua? [18:20] tdelam: ah ok, glad it helped [18:20] hey auronandace ubuntu 12.04 works just fine [18:21] Traumatizer: awesome [18:21] It even asked if I wanted to 'upgrade' my currently installed ubuntu 10.24 [18:21] abhinav_singh: no idea if you change to main repository why you still get that ubuntuarchive.hnsdc [18:21] Zentaur, sudo fsck /dev/sdb1 [18:21] It recognized backtrack as a previous ubuntu installation since it's ubuntu based haha; auronandace [18:22] Traumatizer: haha, you would certainly have issues upgrading that to official ubuntu [18:22] What does "reconfiguring x" entail/involve doing? [18:22] warning!!! it is mounted [18:22] Zentaur, hehe, sorry. [18:22] auronandace, i figured that. Chose for the erase ubuntu 10.24 and reinstall :) [18:22] can you apply this: "sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1" [18:23] 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] Zentaur, you can also unmount it before fsck "sudo umount /dev/sdb1 ; sudo fsck /dev/sdb1" [18:23] Traumatizer: wise indeed, fresh installs are more straightforward and less error prone than upgrades [18:23] does someone know if i can install vlc 1.x on 12.04? [18:23] It's a Canon i850 using the parallel port [18:24] 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] i tyed this "sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1" but no difference [18:24] Zentaur, can you write on it as root? [18:24] !yay | Traumatizer [18:24] Traumatizer: Glad you made it! :-) [18:25] does someone know if i can install vlc 1.x on 12.04? [18:25] yes, i can write as root apn [18:25] Zentaur: you want to check permissions/ownership of the filesystem and adjust them using chown/chmod [18:25] Zentaur, so it is mounted as rw :-) [18:25] just one moment. [18:25] gaston_: whats wrong with the 2x series? [18:25] Gonna make some windows 7 users in class jealous tomorrow with my fresh ubuntu installation tomorrow. "Ok students are you on the electronic learning system yet?", everyone: "Nooooo. slow laptops!!!" me: "Yes!" haha [18:26] Zentaur, try this "sudo mount -o remount,rw,user /dev/sdb1" [18:27] apn: makes no sense [18:27] llutz, why? user is not part of default, and it will append it. [18:28] auronandace: mosaic functionnality is broken [18:28] apn: still makes no sense, read "man mount" what "user" option does [18:28] and i need it working by tmrw [18:28] Nobody? [18:28] apn: what were you trying to accomplish there? [18:28] so tested tonight... [18:28] gaston_: mosaic? new one on me [18:28] auronandace: i don't mind installing 10.04 if that solves it. [18:29] auronandace: mosaic? or that it's broken? [18:29] apn: to let users acces unix-filesystems like ext4 you use chown/chmod. thats what unix-permissions are for [18:29] gaston_: never heard of it in connection with vlc === esm is now known as Guest28643 [18:29] gaston_: only the little tiles in art [18:29] auronandace: it allows you to put multiple videos in one [18:30] i can't with rw,user [18:30] I am having a problem configuring network interfaces inside VM on 12.04. I have two interfaces eth0 and eth1. eth0 configured as "Bridge" between host and guest. and eth1 configured as "Internal" adapter. eth1 is static. when I run #ifup eth1 I get error RTNETLINK answers: File exists [18:30] Zentaur: you want to check permissions/ownership of the filesystem and adjust them using chown/chmod [18:30] auronandace: but maybe you have another working solution: i need to import a stream, capture from a device, put both vids side-to-side, and stream the whole thing online. [18:30] llutz, chmod doesn't change enything for partition characteristics [18:30] Hello, people [18:31] what do you recomend me? chown 777 /dev/sdb1? [18:31] hello tacirus [18:31] I have trouble with setting $PATH [18:31] apn: you also want to read how filesystems and ownership/permissions work [18:31] Tacirus, i know how to do that/ [18:31] Zentaur, is sdb an internal or external drive? [18:31] What are you experiencing trouble with? [18:31] can someone read my above query [18:31] ? [18:31] gaston_: sorry, i'm not quite that advanced [18:31] llutz, please, read what acl has to do with partitions. [18:31] Zentaur: is it just you or are there more users accessing the /DATA filesystem? [18:31] I put a line into /etc/profile but it doesn`t work as it is expected [18:31] dragonfly: it is internal ide [18:32] auronandace: and about installing vlc 1.x? [18:32] apn: nothing, all this stuff applies to filesystems not partitions [18:32] KaustubhGhanekar, I read it, but I am not familiar enough with vms to of any help [18:32] tacirus 1 sec. [18:32] thanks dragonfly [18:32] gaston_: i think you mentioned your best bet: use 10.04 (in a vm if you want) [18:32] tacirus, I [18:32] dragonfly still if you know about the error [18:32] Tacirus, I [18:32] dafuq === campee_ is now known as campee [18:33] ? [18:33] Tacirus you can use shellscript easily [18:33] just finally pinned down the way to get ATI Catalyst 12.4 working on Ubuntu 12.04 [18:33] auronandace: auronandace and then, simply apt-get install vlc will be the correct one? [18:33] tacirus, can you pastebin your .profile? [18:33] and now my hybrid gfx works <3 [18:33] Just make a new shellscript and begin with 'printenv $PATH' [18:33] Hey guys. How do I find out what my system is trying to tell me by beeping every 8 or so seconds? [18:33] or simply find a package for 10.04? [18:33] gaston_: yes [18:33] what if i try this in fstab? /DATA ext4 defaults,rw,user 0 0 [18:33] Tacirus than do like $PATH = whatyouwantittobe and than printenv again [18:33] To see if it worked [18:33] gaston_: it is in the repos [18:33] Zentaur: is it just you or are there more users accessing the /DATA filesystem? [18:34] 1.x is in the repo? [18:34] or 2.x? [18:34] it is me right now but there will be a couple more [18:34] anybody using lirc?

[18:36] herro [18:37] gaston_, with all the effort you are going through to try and downgrade, why not just try and fix the problem or find a work-around for the newer version? [18:38] dragonfly: because i need it working tmrw, and tested tonight [18:38] hi, i just installed libapache2-mod-php5 on ubuntu 11.10 [18:38] and php isnt working, I dont have a .conf or .load in mods-avaliable/enabled === ubuntu is now known as Guest39729 [18:38] is there a shortcut to get them in there? [18:38] spyvsspy: create them yourself [18:38] or do i need to track them down somewhere and create them [18:38] dragonfly: and it seems it is something in the new version that broke what i need. talked about it on #videolan, no chance there. [18:38] apan_ is there an example of what they should look like somewhere? [18:39] spyvsspy: You shouldn't need to create them. [18:39] for whatever reason they arent in /etc/apache2/modes-avail [18:39] dragonfly: and i just formatted my drive to have a singleboot ubuntu on my macbook, so i have nothing important on it. [18:39] i just really really need this working asap [18:39] so if that is the solution, i will take it [18:40] I've added blacklist pcspkr to my blacklist.conf and it's still beeping. What's going on? [18:40] but there is a file /usr/lib/apache2/module/libapach3 [18:40] ready, it was easyer than i initially thought! :) [18:40] spyvsspy: Are you sure that the libapache2-mod-php5 package was actually installed? [18:40] well, you could run it in a live environment of an older Ubuntu version [18:40] i just don't want to reinstall linux to find it doesn't work again.

[18:41] Zentaur: telling that is not helpful [18:41] gaston_, why can't you test with a livecd [18:41] hwilde: elaborate, please ;) [18:41] sorry [18:41] gaston_, umm why do you have to reinstall to test? just test on the livecd ? [18:41] gaston_, what version of vlc were u looking for? [18:41] spyvsspy: /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load and /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf are both part of the libapache2-mod-php5 package. Does it say 'ii' on the far left when you do: dpkg -l | grep libapache2-mod-php5 [18:42] ok. so basically burn 10.04, boot from there, install vlc 1.x, do my tests, if it works reinstall?

[19:11] Ars0S: usb-creator is a linux app, are u on win7? [19:11] sigwhite: Settings in /etc/network/interfaces are used now. Editing /etc/resolv.conf manually will result in issues. [19:11] 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] sigwhite: add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base then run sudo resolvconf -u [19:12] sigwhite: llutz's suggestion works too. [19:12] Pici: I tried adding domain-name-servers in /etc/network/interfaces, but that didn't work. [19:12] having a local resolver on every machine is a stupid idea imho [19:12] does anyone know why i'm not able to write ad user with root privileges on /var/www? [19:13] *as user [19:13] Pigr8: how did you try to write? [19:14] being logged as user with sudo privileges [19:14] Pigr8: "sudo touch /var/www/testfile123 && ls -l /var/www/testfile123" === VGoff is now known as VGoff_afk [19:14] llutz: Tried that, Didn't work. Ping still says "unknown host google.com" and I can ping 8.8.8.8 just fine. [19:14] tiny_fan_ yes, I am on win7 [19:15] sigwhite: grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf [19:15] how many packages are there in the 12.04 repos? [19:15] :) [19:15] llutz: ok, it worked [19:15] !usb | ArS0s [19:15] Pigr8: so you can write. your question is? [19:15] ArS0s: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:15] llutz: still 127.0.0.1 after resolvconf -u and the change [19:17] Hi #Ubuntu, does anyone have any experience making a Lenovo U300s "Clickpad" work properly under 12.04? [19:17] how many packages are there in the 12.04 repos? [19:17] ix_: a lot [19:18] on upgrading to 12.04, firefox now says that the proxy server I use is refusing connections. Any ideas why? [19:18] or can send me in the right direction? [19:18] OfficeITGuy149, "Clickpad"? [19:18] llutz: In fact, even if I replace 127.0.0.1 with 8.8.8.8, ping still fails on the name. [19:18] llutz: you could open synaptic and see exactly [19:18] I'm curious [19:19] Have you tried its driver, OfficeITGuy149? [19:19] llutz: the problem is that I cannot modify index.html, and cannot understand why [19:19] Yes, I think that's the proper name of a trackpad that is also a button [19:19] 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] sigwhite: does dig google.com @8.8.8.8 work? [19:19] how do I find the correct driver for it? [19:19] ix_: so open synaptic and see exactly (i'm neither on ubuntu (yet)nor using synaptic) [19:19] OfficeITGuy149: Touchpad driver on the fabricant website [19:19] llutz: well, I'm not on ubuntu either, I'm on debian [19:19] What's a fabricant? [19:20] Pici: strangely, no. [19:20] ix_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/allpackages [19:21] Pici: No, wait. It does. [19:21] OfficeITGuy149: install System Profiler and Brenchmark, on the Software Center application. There you may find the name of all the components of your lappy [19:21] ok, then can anyone give me the main repo for ubuntu, you know, the deb http://archive.ubuntu. whatever [19:21] interesting. I'll do that right now! [19:21] w [19:21] ith [19:22] with that information, I can find the driver? [19:22] Pici: okay, that's just weird. It worked once. === Piezochem is now known as Pyrat [19:22] sigwhite: you typed 'dig google.com @8.8.8.8' exactly? [19:22] OfficeITGuy149: Once you have the name of the touchpad, paste it on Google for driver. You may find something [19:23] I think I have that info already, hold on [19:23] Pici: Yes. And it worked. Exactly once. [19:23] sigwhite: That is very weird. [19:23] it is a "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" [19:23] Pici: Now I'm just getting timeouts [19:24] OfficeITGuy149: Driver must be Linux based, favour the .deb package. I couldn't guide you through another way. [19:24] you people are useless, it's deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main [19:24] Who would make this linux driver? Lenovo? I'm googling now but finding only forums [19:25] thanks and bye [19:26] Pici: same with 8.8.4.4 and other servers === VGoff_afk is now known as VGoff [19:26] sigwhite: u can ping them directly just not resolve with them? [19:27] tiny_fan_: Yes. [19:28] OfficeITGuy149: Yes, it's possible to find it in Lenovo's Website, searching for the model of your lappy [19:28] even for linux? [19:28] let me see if I can find that [19:28] OfficeITGuy149: Even for Linux. [19:29] tiny_fan_: Could this be a firewall issue? [19:29] OfficeITGuy149, this post #53 sounds prommissing >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11757442&postcount=53 [19:29] sigwhite: shouldn't be...your creating the connection...the firewall should leave it open inbound [19:30] tiny_fan_: I tried disabling the firewall on the VM host and even the anti-virus, didn't change anything. [19:31] sigwhite: what is the error when you do: dig google.com @8.8.8.8 [19:31] tiny_fan_: Timeout. [19:31] Hi My DVDRW is unable to mount any content . I checked the SATA cable etc . Dmesg doesnt give any errors . eject command works . Actually I am wondering if the kens is gone ?

[19:34] I've been experimenting some very slow logout times (the windows are not closing properly etc) Is there any good way for me to troubleshoot this, like logs? [19:34] sigwhite: can you ping 10.0.2.2 ? [19:34] *experiencing [19:34] tiny_fan_: Yes. < 1 sec [19:34] sigwhite: and 8.8.8.8 ? [19:35] *msec [19:35] tiny_fan_: ~ 18ms [19:37] sigwhite: since dig is unresponsive how about: host google.com [19:37] tiny_fan_: same error as dig [19:38] sigwhite: r u DHCP or static?

Any ideas? [19:42] OfficeITGuy149: I'm afraid so [19:42] sigwhite: what does 'ip route' say for default route? [19:43] OfficeITGuy149, yes, but you shouldn't need it [19:43] krababbel: default via 10.0.2.2 dev eth0 proto static [19:43] emorris: The trackpad (SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad) works under linux, it's just terrible to use [19:44] I'm trying to figure out how to make it usable [19:44] OfficeITGuy149, how do you mean terrible to use? [19:45] sigwhite: lets edit resolv.conf and have the only line say: nameserver 8.8.8.8 [19:45] no two finger scrolling, no palm identification, very sensitive, etc [19:45] tiny_fan_: Tried that before. Didn't have any effect. [19:46] sigwhite: I hate NetworkManager...I don't know where the configs are. [19:46] sigwhite: so network manager at the top says 192.168.1.1 ? You'll have to edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head because resolvconf package overwrites /etc/resolv.conf [19:46] yo.. [19:48] please help | tcpdump - How to capture images transferred via HTTP? - Unix and Linux - Stack Exchange -> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/38203/how-to-capture-images-transferred-via-http [19:48] 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] 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. [19:49] it might be config options, yes. I'm just looking for the solution [19:49] krababbel: And resolv.conf.d/head and ./base and resolvconf -u [19:49] sigwhite: are you sure the dhcp server is allright?

Good luck, dude. [19:56] sigwhite: don't know, maybe purge networkmanager and resolvconf and install again, or keep them out. [19:56] thank you!! [19:57] can you tell me what i'm installing?

[22:04] I've been wondering the same [22:04] !latest | diverdude [22:04] Not out of need, but curiosity. [22:04] 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] 5.4 is not experimental or anything [22:04] its stable software [22:05] 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) [22:06] pseudonymous, hehe, ok... [22:06] pseudonymous: so when will it be stable enough for ubuntu? [22:07] I THINK (don't quote me) you could compile it yourself, but thats way over my skill level. [22:07] 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] anyone have any suggestions on correcting the setuid bit on /usr/bin/sudo ? [22:07] OerHeks: i already have a good ppa [22:07] 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] 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) [22:08] OerHeks: and php 5.4 is running smoothly...which is also why im wondering why its not in the repo [22:08] diverdude, oke, maybe the info below the ppa is any value too. [22:08] diverdude, me 2 [22:09] I considered switching to fedora actually...they have a bit more sane approach towards software in the repo :) [22:09] afaik [22:09] 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.

I attempted to capture video using Kdenlive's capturing method, but it failed to do anything at all. I am searching for a way to capture my DV video from my 1394 device on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

[22:37] khmerog, you will see the thumb in the dropdown on the far right, if you are not familiar with gparted [22:38] khmerog, yeah just run sudo apt-get install gparted [22:38] nikitakit: That message certainly seems to imply that bugs existing before release but only found and reported after release should not actually be reported. That is a very odd stance and I don't think that's actually the intent of the Ubuntu project (and *if* it is I would file a bug report asking that this concept be reconsidered as it seems absurd to me). [22:39] dvguy, ah would not know myself I believe, just guessing, if tapes you need a converter. [22:39] i installed gnome shell through software center and it is supposed to be 3.4 but "gnome-session --version" says me it is 3.2.1. Why? [22:40] and actually how do i install cuda on ubuntu 12.04 without breaking X? [22:40] wilee-nilee, I would normally use Adobe Premiere Pro to capture my stuff, but I'm not at my main workstation for some time and need to get this video captured.

[22:47] s/vilinuz/vmlinuz [22:48] what app do I use to connect to a precise desktop for "remote sharing" ? [22:48] 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] 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 [22:49] how do i connect a bluetooth device in kde? [22:49] 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. :) [22:50] Jordan_U: DarwinSurvivor, it is just the generic xorg apport package hook [22:50] OerHeks: Thank you for that link!

I would really appreciate some help restoring my gateway [22:52] anyone? [22:53] BLZbubba: sorry, huh? not following train of thought re remmina. [22:53] can anyone tell me what package (for precise) contains idmap_rid.so ? [22:53] bjoessi: do you remember (or have a copy of) how you set it up last time?

[22:56] looks like it is "vino" not remmina [22:56] loop-: what do you need the library for? [22:57] kieppie: ok looks like VNC. better than nothing. [22:57] loop-: sorry, he left and auto-complete changed :( [22:58] 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! [22:59] 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] hey whats the best irc client for ubuntu [22:59] ? [23:00] the eth2 is connected to a router on its wan port [23:00] kyrion: i use the text mode irssi [23:00] kyrion, i like irssi [23:00] 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] yeah [23:01] that is going to be a personal preference [23:01] kieppie: after i enable desktop sharing, how do I get it to start listening on 5900? [23:01] bjoessi: please describe your routing (ex: client computer wan => ubuntu wan -> ubuntu lan => router lan -> router wan => internet) [23:02] 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 [23:03] BLZubba, Reborg, thanks [23:03] :) [23:03] *the internet* -> router -> this computer wlan2 -> this computer eth2 -> router [23:04] bjoessi: so you are connnecting 2 routers together? [23:04] bjoessi: using your ubuntu box? [23:04] 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] E: Package 'libmagick9-dev' has no installation candidate [23:05] DarwinSurvivor: I am trying to extend the wifi another building, but the signal is weak from the first router [23:05] <--- getting this kind of err and did "$ sudo apt-get update" but still not found, which is new version? [23:05] so behind the second router is where I plan to connect the clients in this building [23:05] bjoessi: DarwinSurvivor: look at repeater - dd-wrt [23:05] Hello I was wondering if crashplan is supported in 12.04 LTS [23:05] I had some bugs installing it before. [23:06] bjoessi: every repeat/hop will add latency & halve speed, but better than nothing [23:07] 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] bjoessi: I'd disable nat on the second router [23:07] DarwinSurvivor: But the annoying thing is that it worked just fine before [23:07] hi [23:08] and I haven [23:08] DarwinSurvivor: bjoessi: also, google cantenna & printable shield [23:08] 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] and I havent changed anything in the router [23:08] now I lose the subwofer after the first song [23:08] bjoessi: do you need wirelss at the secondary location? [23:08] is I switch souncards with pavucontrol and come back to the previous soundcard the subwoffer activates again [23:09] Dropbox is having some issues in 12.04 [23:09] alusion, such as? [23:09] DarwinSurvivor: bjoessi: http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/ [23:09] DarwinSurvivor: not crucial, but since I did have it before I kind of got used to it [23:09] DarwinSurvivor: does it really matter, if ubuntu acts as a switch between them. I had no problems with such a setup [23:10] Resistance, I had an OSError when installing the proprietary daemon and it is unable to open [23:10] Also it just keeps closing unexpectedly [23:10] alusion, might talk to their support about that, or run it via terminal to see detailed error outputs and the likes [23:10] I'm visually handicaped and need help to see a verification image - anyone? [23:10] 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 [23:11] krababbel: with kieppies suggestion of using dd-wrt, it would eliminate the ubuntu laptop [23:11] Mkay I sent in an error report and I'll check with em to see whatsup, do they operate on IRC btw? === harmagent is now known as vector [23:12] 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] 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] krababbel, and when you say disable nat on the second one, you mean in the second router? or on my nic? [23:12] bjoessi: the second router [23:12] I guess you mean in the router [23:13] ok. I believe I have already done so, but I will check again. [23:13] bjoessi: do you need the PC in between as a router? [23:14] DarwinSurvivor: I had a second router behind the first, and both gave wifi access to the internet. [23:14] bjoessi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUTT8wdN_VA [23:14] can anyone help me? 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! [23:14] krababbel, the router I have is to far away to connect to the first router with a cable and it only has a ethernet wan (not wlan wan) [23:14] I'm trying to enable 2 monitors on the recommended nvidia drivers, but when I do the system becomes unresponsive until it expires and reverts to previous settings. Any solutions to this? [23:15] or dual antennas or whatever... [23:15] but ill go back to tinker on my own... see you around! [23:15] 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] cu [23:16] where can I see what's happening with the soundcard after changing songs? any log? [23:16] Hey, need some help. I updated 12.04, installed some apps from the software center, changed my home folder to a separate file partition according to this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving and rebooted. Now I can't log in to my main account. I get to the log in, can write my password (which is accepted, if I write the wrong one it says so), go to a black screen for half a second with some text o [23:16] n it, then back to the login. Currently logged in as a guest on the same computer, so it is working. Any takers? [23:17] Im using audacious, if I manually change the song then the subwoofer dies, if I leave it playing it doesn't [23:17] DarwinSurvivor: I assumed a wired connection between the routers. [23:18] krababbel: ah :P [23:20] Anyone have any idea?
