| txomon|home | you can also use a hex dumper etc. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| txomon|home | krababbel, why you all want to use ppas? | 00:00 |
| bACktRaCk5 | i`m begenner on linux and i`ve tried to open it with the default text editor wich is KWrite.. | 00:00 |
| bACktRaCk5 | and doesn`t work | 00:00 |
| krababbel | txomon|home: oracle java is better supported by browser apps, and not available in ubuntu | 00:00 |
| bACktRaCk5 | can u tell me a editor with can i open it to see | 00:01 |
| bACktRaCk5 | pls | 00:01 |
| krababbel | tx then there are newer versions of certain applications, I guess it's like backporting, certainly convenient. | 00:01 |
| txomon|home | krababbel, well, you can try with the packet default-jdk etc. | 00:02 |
| txomon|home | it is from oracle | 00:02 |
| OerHeks | bACktRaCk5, what is the name of the file ? .bin .sh .run ? | 00:03 |
| txomon|home | bACktRaCk5, what are you trying to do? Do you know what you are really going to do with a bin editor? you know machine code? | 00:03 |
| txomon|home | OerHeks, binary as editor doesn't open it | 00:03 |
| Boohbah | bACktRaCk5: check out od and hexedit | 00:03 |
| bACktRaCk5 | is just a file.. without extension.. on click right on the file and proprietes : at the Type is just Executable | 00:03 |
| J2 | Reasking in case it got buried.... Resizing partitions caused my Ubuntu GRUB to tell me error: Unrecognized Filesystem and puts me into grub rescue. I am able to boot through SuperGRUB2 however. Is there any way i can restore my GRUB? | 00:03 |
| Boohbah | bACktRaCk5: but it's much easier to edit source code... what's the exe in question? | 00:04 |
| txomon|home | !grub2 J2 | 00:04 |
| bACktRaCk5 | txomon|home i just see what is in that file.. not edit .. just look in | 00:04 |

| txomon|home | bACktRaCk5, so use what they told you, hexedit | 00:04 |
| bACktRaCk5 | i trying to make a eggdrop arhive, and i want to see what is in the eggdrop file.. just see not edit | 00:05 |
| bACktRaCk5 | ok | 00:05 |
| bACktRaCk5 | apt-get install hexedit ? | 00:05 |
| txomon|home | I suppose so | 00:05 |
| bACktRaCk5 | ok | 00:05 |
| txomon|home | !next | 00:05 |
| txomon|home | fuuu you dont have funny things | 00:05 |
| Boohbah | bACktRaCk5: there is also the 'strings' command that will output printable strings in any file (text,binary) | 00:05 |
| bACktRaCk5 | hexedit is already the newest version. | 00:06 |
| bACktRaCk5 | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. | 00:06 |
| bACktRaCk5 | is allready installed? | 00:06 |
| krababbel | I installed openjdk7 but "sudo update-alternatives --config java" still shows openjdk6 although it is removed. Libreoffice only shows Sun java6. | 00:06 |
| txomon|home | bACktRaCk5, what do you think? | 00:06 |
| bACktRaCk5 | i think yes :) but where is ?:))) | 00:07 |
| Boohbah | bACktRaCk5: which hexedit | 00:07 |
| txomon|home | krababbel, you should _really_ not remove j6 | 00:07 |
| bACktRaCk5 | i told you.. scz me for this question.. but i`m really new on linux | 00:07 |
| doomrobo | can somebody help me, I have been experiencing key ghosting ever since I upgraded to Precise | 00:07 |
| doomrobo | I checked my keyboard to make sure | 00:07 |
| txomon|home | bACktRaCk5, just read the manual | 00:07 |
| krababbel | txomon|home: I thought I could safely install openjdk7 instead. | 00:07 |
| txomon|home | doomrobo, define it | 00:07 |
| txomon|home | krababbel, I am nearly sure that that would break things. There are a lot of programs just for J6 | 00:08 |
| doomrobo | when I hold down a key in, say vim, it advances as normal but when I stop pressing the key, it simulates the keypress one more time one second after depressing the key | 00:08 |
| txomon|home | krababbel, you can specify the classpath etc. | 00:08 |
| doomrobo | I have no clue why | 00:08 |
| Boohbah | bACktRaCk5: a gui hex editor is easier than hexedit, i use okteta on kde | 00:09 |
| txomon|home | doomrobo, just vim? terminal refreshes correctly after resizing? | 00:09 |
| krababbel | txomon|home: thanks for the hint. I hoped libreoffice would support openjdk7 already, didn't check. | 00:09 |
| doomrobo | txomon|home, yes | 00:09 |
| doomrobo | and not only vim, it also happened in a similar way with mousewheel scrolling (a real mouse, not touchpad) | 00:09 |
| txomon|home | doomrobo, I had problems with terminal resizing, key shortcuts, etc. | 00:09 |
| Boohbah | bACktRaCk5: if you want to just dump the file and not edit it, 'od -x file.exe' | 00:10 |
| doomrobo | txomon|home, come to think of it, XChat has been lagging on showing new posts in IRC, it repeats the last one and takes a second to refresh the text | 00:10 |
| doomrobo | it almost looks like tearing, only very slow | 00:10 |
| doomrobo | txomon|home, so how'd you fix it? | 00:10 |
| ^Mike\b | Do I need to install some package to get my HUD to start returning results? Right now it doesn't *do* anything | 00:11 |
| txomon|home | doomrobo, I would fill a bug like this : ubuntu-bug xchat ; ubuntu-bug gnome-terminal | 00:12 |
| doomrobo | it's terminator | 00:12 |
| txomon|home | whatever | 00:12 |
| doomrobo | but it doesn't matter | 00:12 |
| txomon|home | ^Mike\b, ? | 00:12 |
| txomon|home | !hud | 00:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS includes the first step in a major new approach to application interfaces, the Head-Up Display, or HUD, which will ultimately replace menus in Unity applications. See http://ubottu.com/y/hud for the background on this and discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:13 |
| txomon|home | ^Mike\b, see what ubottu said | 00:13 |
| doomrobo | what they don't tell you is that screen-switching is a bitch with HUD enabled | 00:14 |
| doomrobo | screen-switching in terminator | 00:14 |
| doomrobo | that is | 00:14 |
| krababbel | doomrobo: I've had problems in irssi too with gnome terminal. LXterminal works fine. | 00:14 |
| doomrobo | hmm | 00:14 |
| ^Mike\b | doomrobo: not just that - ALT is... y'know... ALT. It is used for just about every key combination ever, why that was used as the key binding is beyond moronic | 00:15 |
| txomon|home | krababbel, did it randomly disconnect? | 00:15 |

| Jordan_U | J2: "warn" != "error" (though it's always good to check warnings as well). | 00:29 |
| dasyogi | I'll add the system brightness instruction to init.d | 00:29 |
| Stanley00 | dasyogi: well, in my case, the file is /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness , you can echo some value to that file to find out the right value | 00:29 |

| vfw | capitantyler: What does alsamixer say? | 01:02 |
| capitantyler | vfw yes "CEDAR" never see it | 01:02 |
| capitantyler | in lspci | 01:02 |
| krababbel | capitantyler: you have two sound output devices, one ati is over hdmi only | 01:02 |
| capitantyler | vfw something is wrong in the report i guess | 01:02 |
| vfw | capitantyler: Did you post http://paste.ubuntu.com/979010/ ? | 01:02 |

| capitantyler | krababbel yes, but the report seems not be fine at all with the hard. In the previous ubuntu version, lspci says other hardware | 01:03 |
| krababbel | line 71 is the soundcard, 72 is the hdmi output | 01:04 |

| sideup66 | i have a question about mounting things | 01:13 |
| vfw | capitantyler: I don't knwo that would be the answer to your problem, was just a wild guess. OerHeks may have better answer(s). | 01:13 |
| EvilResistance | sideup66, what question/ | 01:13 |
| OerHeks | capitantyler, = DV7 | 01:13 |
| sideup66 | essentially I installed ubuntu server and then afterword installed a simple gnome interface (noob here or id live in bash) but I created a raid1 configuration on 2 nonboot drives that I want to automount as they will be used on a home server as a data drive | 01:14 |
| sideup66 | basically I got the raid running fine in disk util (nice program btw) but im stumped on the automount as pysdm isnt really helping me much | 01:14 |
| sideup66 | so im just asking for a simple beginner friendly how to on doing this.. | 01:15 |
| sideup66 | pysdm lists the two drives but any mount ails | 01:15 |

| nina666 | hi... I have mono 2.10.8.1 and monodevelop 2.8.6.3 installed on my computer (im using ubuntu 12.04) when I want to compile my program which has to use System.Net, it does not recognize it. then i saw, under my folder /usr/lib/mono, i have directories of 2.0 3.5 and 4.0. I could find System.Net under directory 4.0, but i couldnt make use of it... does anyone know how i can solve this problem? | 01:27 |

| mca | i cant get it to be default | 02:18 |
| droope | DarwinSurvivor: that didn't work! will be pasting the ifconfig any second now | 02:18 |
| Aboba | apn, used soundconverter to go to wav, then back to mp3, not it works | 02:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | mca: alright. since it appears to be a kdm issue (not saving the default) you'll probably have better luck asking in the #kubuntu channel. | 02:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | mca: you are however welcome to stay in #ubuntu and see if anyone here is familiar with kdm | 02:21 |

| adio | DarwinSurvivor: Hi, I'm back. I just started up the notebook with ubuntu latest and after the ubuntu logo it just sits there with the background on and mouse cursor. | 02:26 |
| droope | he told me to use a host-only network adapter, but that obviously killed my internet -.- | 02:27 |
| lambdaq | please help guys | 02:27 |
| droope | it seems he had misunderstood my problem | 02:27 |
| Mneumonic | Has anyone had their mouse buttons stop working in Ubuntu 12.04? I have had this happen to me 3 or 4 times now. | 02:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: a host-only will create a connection between windows and ubuntu but ubuntu will have NO internet connection | 02:27 |
| droope | yeah, I went back to a NAT | 02:27 |
| droope | hey DarwinSurvivor the internet died again | 02:28 |
| droope | here is what the route says | 02:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: what you need is either NAT (virtualbox will pretend to be a router) or bridge (ubuntu will appear to the router as a separate computer and be 100% visible to the entire network) | 02:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: ok, give me the outputs of "route" and "ifconfig" i want to see what changed. | 02:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: also try "ping 10.0.2.2" | 02:28 |
| droope | all right | 02:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: if you are intending to connect TO the ubuntu vm from any other computers, you should use bridged instead of NAT, otherwise don't worry about it and kee nat | 02:29 |

| goyair | Hello | 02:32 |
| droope | weird as. have you any idea on what layer the problem might be? Perhaps if I make it bridged it magically gets fixed | 02:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: ok, try "ping 10.0.2.15" | 02:33 |
| droope | that worked fine | 02:34 |

| khmerog | i kind of wanted it to be Mac-y | 02:37 |

| droope | DarwinSurvivor: not as far as i can tell, i'm doing my stuff, and all of a sudden internet stops working. what do you mean by 1 way? | 02:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: if you restart the VM is it always connected at first, always disconnected at first, or random? | 02:39 |
| Conexion | khmerog: Menu bar at the top instead of in the applications. Psudo-bubble-bar on the left hand side. I also don't see any themes that allow for your close/minimize/maximize buttons to be on the right (though that's fixable of course) | 02:39 |

| droope | DarwinSurvivor: it's always connected at first. It loses the connection after not-so-long. | 02:40 |
| droope | It's weird! I cannot find an explaination. And it's not an OS issue with the VM because i've tried other OSs. | 02:40 |
| droope | I am gonna try bridged and cross fingers. | 02:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: do you have any firewall software installed in windows? I'm thinking a firewall may be detecting "weird" connections from virtualbox and blocking it | 02:41 |

| DarwinSurvivor | droope: unfortunately I can't think of anything else to try from the ubuntu side. It appears to *me* to be an issue with VirtualBox or windows (blocking VirtualBox). | 02:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | droope: you could try bridge mode, but that's about all I can suggest at this point | 02:55 |
| droope | st3el__: st + TAB | 02:55 |

| st3el__ | it auto commas for me | 03:00 |
| st3el__ | lol | 03:01 |

| Jeruvy | ejo, thanks I figured that out. Is there a way to get the top panel to do this also? | 03:02 |

| snapdata | In pavucontrol a recording device is present for Chrome/Firefox when I use the "voice search" on Google's home page. When I utilize my microphone in flash, however, there is no recording device shown in pavucontrol despite the mic being fully operational in Flash. Any ideas? | 03:03 |
| ejo | Jeruvy: Hmmm might require installing one of the tweak packages. ubunty-tweak, myunity, or compiz-config-settings-manager, or unsettings | 03:03 |
| Jeruvy | ejo, ok I'll keep fiddling. | 03:04 |
| kevin | hi all. so i just upgraded to oneiric. in the process of going to precise... general question: so i chose lightdm over gdm. in gdm, to run an application it was alt+f2, and now it's coming up as a "search" or whatever... i don't need to search. i know what i want to run. what's the keyboard shortcut for that in lightdm? | 03:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kevin: I think you have lightdm/gmd confused with gnome/unity | 03:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kevin: lightdm and gdm are what you see when you are typing in your password to log in | 03:05 |
| craigbass1976 | how do I get ubuntu to get on a wireless network before I log in? I've got a box I'm going to run headless, and it needs to get an ip all by its lonesome | 03:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kevin: what you are describing is the unity search bar (after being logged in) | 03:06 |
| kevin | oh, okay. so what's the "application launcher" keyboard shortcut for unity? | 03:06 |
| droope | st3el__: see, you made it! :P | 03:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kevin: if you just need it for launching applications, then just use it like you did the old F2. If you hint enter it will automatically launch the top-left-most application being displayed | 03:07 |
| Jeruvy | ejo. hmm just did a relogin, and it fixed itself. | 03:07 |
| st3el__ | droope, yessir | 03:07 |
| droope | ^^ | 03:07 |
| kevin | DarwinSurvivor: well, i did alt+f2, type in 'totem' and hit enter. nothing happens. but if i type 'totem' in a terminal window, it opens up. sooo i dont know why it's not working in this unity search thing. | 03:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kevin: when you type in "totem" into the search, do you see the totem player's icon in the box below the search line? | 03:08 |
| ejo | Jeruvy: great. | 03:08 |
| st3el__ | droope, I haven't used IRC since counter strike 1.6 >_< | 03:08 |

| DarwinSurvivor | ozzloy: have fun! | 03:30 |
| ozzloy | yeah, i have some vms set up already, but that seemed a bit overkill | 03:30 |

| snapdata | In pavucontrol a recording device is present for Chrome/Firefox when I use the "voice search" on Google's home page. When I utilize my microphone in flash, however, there is no recording device shown in pavucontrol despite the mic being fully operational in Flash. Any ideas? | 03:31 |
| Veritas | Yes, I tried it. I ran "sudo apt-get update" afterwards and I got the same error again. | 03:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: I don't see a "voice search" on google's homepage, could you provide a direct link?> | 03:32 |
| xangua | Veritas: how about you give the output of what you tried¿ | 03:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Veritas: please pastebin the entire terminal session, there may be important information in it that you don't recognise as relevant | 03:33 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, you have to use Chrome I believe. For Firefox I am testing using something else that essentially does the same hting. | 03:33 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, it's in the google search box, all the way on the right, click the microphone icon. | 03:33 |
| gwakao | DarwinSurvivor, voice search? it sounds like a nsa/cia/fbi tech | 03:33 |
| E_Megas | Hi, I'm having issues installing Precise. Specifically, it fails to grub-install because it "cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)." | 03:33 |
| E_Megas | The installation succeeds, the grub-install on the mbr does not. | 03:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: snapdata ok, and what is it you *want* it to do that it isn't doing? | 03:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: your question makes it hard to tell if the google thing or the flash thing is the problem :( | 03:34 |
| zykotic10 | E_Megas: "is /dev mounted" suggests you aren't chrooted correctly, are you trying from a livecd? | 03:34 |
| E_Megas | zykotic10: Yes. | 03:34 |
| zykotic10 | !grub | E_Megas | 03:35 |
| ubottu | E_Megas: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 03:35 |
| E_Megas | It was supposed to be part of the installation process. It failed. | 03:35 |
| adio | DarwinSurvivor: can you pm me when you have a chance, can't seem to get ubuntu past the logo screen | 03:35 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, it's Flash. Do you use Pavucontrol? | 03:35 |
| zykotic10 | E_Megas: is RAID involved? | 03:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | adio: please stay in the #ubuntu channel where others can help you as well | 03:35 |
| E_Megas | zykotic10: No. | 03:35 |
| zykotic10 | E_Megas: then try to follow the chroot directions and try again (is my only suggestion) | 03:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: not personally, your question is just a little confusion. you say the microphone works, so what is the problem? | 03:36 |
| E_Megas | zykotic10: Only one HDD and three partitions installed by default. | 03:36 |
| user | join #hardware | 03:36 |
| Veritas | DarwinSurvivor, http://pastebin.com/FLTC0GLe | 03:36 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, when a program utilizes a recording device it will show up in pavucontrol under "Recording." You can, from there, change the recording device that it is utilizing. (IE. make a program recording from "Microphone 1" record from "Microphone 2") | 03:37 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, this works perfectly with everything except Flash. With Flash, no recording device shows up. | 03:37 |
| E_Megas | zykotic10: Oh yeah, and there isn't any other OS installed. The drive was empty prior to installation so Windows isn't involved in this. | 03:37 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, however Flash does record fine from any individual microphone I choose. | 03:37 |
| xangua | Veritas: that's not the command that is mentioned in !gpgerr | 03:37 |
| user | whats ubuntu | 03:38 |
| zykotic10 | !ubuntu | user | 03:38 |
| ubottu | user: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 03:38 |
| Veritas | xangua, which command did you want the output of? | 03:38 |
| xangua | !gpgerr | Veritas read carefully this time | 03:38 |
| ubottu | Veritas read carefully this time: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key> » | 03:38 |
| gisli_ | quick question...how do I see when I first installed ubuntu? I'm talking about the current installation of course | 03:39 |
| user | thank you ubottu, is it similar to mint by linux? | 03:39 |
| user | gisli look at your cd rom drive | 03:39 |
| zykotic10 | user: ubottu is a bot - not real person. Mint is based on Ubuntu - so they are similar... | 03:39 |
| gisli_ | user: hahaha what? | 03:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: ok, so how are you chosing the microphone for flash? dose flash have its own dialog for that? | 03:40 |
| gisli_ | zykotic10: not all mint's are based on ubuntu | 03:40 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, yeah. However most other programs do too, and they still work fine with pavucontrol. | 03:40 |
| zykotic10 | gisli_: lmde... ya there is that | 03:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: my guess is that flash is plugging directly into alsa and bypassing pulseaudio completely | 03:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: when you *play* audio in flash, does it show up in pulseaudio's volume mixer? | 03:41 |
| Veritas | xangua, I tried what ubottu told me to do and this is the output I got: http://pastebin.com/73QbA9SK If it's not standard, how do I find the GPG keyword for the repository? | 03:41 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, one second, I'll check. | 03:41 |
| xangua | Veritas: ubottu just told you the gpg key | 03:42 |
| Veritas | I tried it. Then I ran "sudo apt-get update" and get the same error | 03:42 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, it shows up as "ALSA Plugin [chrome]" | 03:42 |
| user | ubuntu looks different i should try it out | 03:43 |
| xangua | Veritas: run apt-get update again and if it doesn't work use the one you first get in your error message 16126D3A3E5C1192 | 03:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: hmm, my guess is still that it's using pure alsa for the recording part (since alsa is more common across distros than pulseaudio) | 03:44 |
| user | how come they dont charge me for downloading it? or am i downloading from illegal website or something? | 03:44 |
| user | i like it free but just hope i am download correct one | 03:44 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, yeah. I did a bit of googling relating to Flash using ALSA and apparently it was a bug in 2009/2010 that was "fixed" in Ubuntu 11. There was no further information I could find. | 03:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Veritas: try using 16126D3A3E5C1192 | 03:44 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, I don't know very much about linux. Would it be possible to force Flash to use PulseAudio, or would it use PulseAudio if ALSA was disabled? | 03:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: well, if it *is* using alsa, then you're basically stuck unless Adobe releases an update (and they've already announced the end of flash on linux) | 03:45 |
| zykotic10 | snapdata: Pulse requires ALSA - one does not replace the other | 03:46 |
| fishcooker | is there any mechanism to make my box .. encrypted or secured from any violation? | 03:46 |

| kevin | any way to change the Switcher icon size? i can change the launcher icon sizes in ccsm but i dont see any option for the alt+tab switcher icons | 03:46 |
| SparCo213 | Whats up all. | 03:46 |
| Veritas | xangua, DarwinSurvivor, this is the output from running apt-key, and using 16126... : http://pastebin.com/UdMQEaZh | 03:47 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, zykotic10, oh. I do find it curious that the "ALSA Plugin" shows up when audio is played through Flash but not when a recording device is used. | 03:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fishcooker: when creating a new user (either with the installer, or the user control dialog), simply chose "encrypt my home folder" and your home-folder documents will automatically be encrypted | 03:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: pulseaudio playback is easier to implement than pulseaudio recording, so they may have only bothered with the playback part | 03:48 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, oh. I see. Well fuck. :\ | 03:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: yep, you'll need to complain to Adobe most likely :( | 03:50 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, somehow I don't think that will do any good. haha | 03:50 |
| snapdata | DarwinSurvivor, with YouTube moving to HTML5 and Adobe apparently discontinuing flash for Linux, what do you think will replace it? | 03:51 |
| st3el__ | discontinuing flash... | 03:51 |
| st3el__ | dare i say impossible... | 03:52 |
| krababbel | I installed java6 and 7 jdk and when I uninstall them, they seem to be there still. sudo update-alternatives --config java gives me options, where before it said there was nothing to choose. How to remove them completely? | 03:52 |
| snapdata | krababbel, have you tried sudo apt-get autoremove | 03:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !purge | krababbel | 03:53 |
| ubottu | krababbel: To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P | 03:53 |
| st3el__ | quit | 03:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | snapdata: god willing, pure html, css & javascript! | 03:53 |
| st3el__ | exit | 03:53 |
| st3el__ | erm | 03:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | st3el__: /quit | 03:53 |

| ubottu | Debian bug 653168 in ftp.debian.org "RM: oprofile - unmaintained, replacements exist, buggy, low popcon" [Normal,Open] | 04:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lifelike: and what changes (if any) did you make in ubuntu to set it up? | 04:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: ubuntu uses ext4 by default, just go with that. the only time ext4 is an issue (in my experience) is if you need to share the partition with a BSD system | 04:05 |
| lifelike | DarwinSurvivor: I had setup shrewsoft vpn (through the Software Center) with a config file from my vpn provider | 04:05 |
| dirtyfreebooter | trism_: thanks! | 04:05 |
| lifelike | DarwinSurvivor: After that I upgraded to 12.04 and then later tried the vpn | 04:05 |
| lifelike | DarwinSurvivor: No changes besides the upgrade | 04:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lifelike: can you post a link to your vpn's instructions? | 04:05 |
| alusion | DarwinSurvivor, What does BSD mean? | 04:05 |
| windbuntu | its a unix like OS alusion | 04:06 |
| lifelike | DarwinSurvivor: It was just a shrewsoft vpn config file really. | 04:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: FreeBSD, OpenDSD, etc. If you don't know what they are, you WON'T have that issue :) | 04:06 |

| DarwinSurvivor | myrmidette: if those are working, what *isn't* working...? | 04:29 |
| myrmidette | my wireless | 04:29 |
| myrmidette | I'm on a wired usb connection right now | 04:29 |
| dr_willis | rollitup: most likely posssible - but not a good idea. since the security/permissions will be a hassle to deal with | 04:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | myrmidette: do you have another computer you can chat on? it's pointless trying to debug something that isn't being used... | 04:29 |
| rollitup | ok | 04:29 |
| rollitup | thanx dr_willis | 04:30 |

| DarwinSurvivor | myrmidette: I understand that, but we can't debug the wifi if you are currently using the wireless. do you have a second computer you can chat on so you can disconnect the wired from your laptop? | 04:31 |

| myrmidette | and disconnect from this one | 04:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | myrmidette: you said your wireless is not working and that you are currently chatting using the wired on the affected computer. it is nearly impossible to debug a bad wireless connection while the wired connection is being used. the easiest way to do this is to use a *different* computer for the irc chat so you can disconnect the wired from the "broken" computer | 04:34 |

| dr_willis | john souds like an old bug. where you cant click on the menus/buttons in the flash settings. there used to be some work arounds. ONE i recall was holding down the right mouse button, and then trying toi click on the button | 05:25 |
| ZetaRC121 | anyone ever get an Acer Aspire One D-250 to sleep on closing? I can sleep and hibernate and restore from both states on the laptop normally, the backlight turns off on closing, but the laptop never stops running. I'm setting this install up for someone else I'd like to have the ability to just be able to close the laptop and it sleep. | 05:26 |
| vp18 | anyone knows how to use conky | 05:26 |
| missuse | hi guys i can't get this nethogs running | 05:26 |
| missuse | ioctl failed while establishing local IP for selected device eth0. You may specify the device on the command line. | 05:26 |
| dr_willis | vp18: conky has tons and tons of docs out about it. | 05:26 |
| missuse | i got the above messsge | 05:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: so sleep works fine when done manually (via the menus) but not automatically when closing the lid? | 05:27 |
| ZetaRC121 | DarwinSurvivor yep | 05:27 |
| vp18 | well i install it via synaptics but can't get it to work | 05:27 |
| vp18 | i got ubuntu 12.04 64 bit | 05:27 |
| dr_willis | vp18: so you open a terminal and run 'conky' and it does what exactly? | 05:27 |
| alusion | Thank you, dr_willis, for showing me that Delicious.com site, it is a treasure to me already. | 05:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | missuse: you need to add the interface to the command (eth0, wlan0, etc) that you want to monitory | 05:27 |
| vp18 | nothing... | 05:28 |
| john | dr_willis it also doesnt work with keyboard | 05:28 |
| dr_willis | alusion: my bookmarks are there under delicious.com/dr_willis | 05:28 |
| vp18 | i don't see the eye candy or anything | 05:28 |
| missuse | darwinsurvivor how to do that ? | 05:28 |
| ZetaRC121 | DarwinSurvivor since the user is a student that uses a padded pouch for it, a closed but running laptop is not a good thing... | 05:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: and you checked the "power" setting in the control panel? | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | vp18: what desktop are you using? normal unity? gnome-shell? | 05:29 |
| haus | okay, different upstart question. does it matter where the manual stanza appears in an upstart configuration or will it only undefine 'start on' stanzas before the manual stanza? | 05:29 |
| john | i mean select it with tab and then untick with space button | 05:29 |
| vp18 | ? | 05:29 |
| missuse | darwinsurvivor how to check which one is my internet connection using ? | 05:29 |
| vp18 | i got unity and cairo dock | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | vp18: id check the askubuntu.com site to see if anyone has a tweaked conky config for working with unity. it could be conky is running - but under the desktop for some reason. | 05:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | missuse: pastebin the output of "ifconfig" and i'll tell you | 05:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: if on wired, probably eth0. if on wireless, probably wlan0. some systems are a little different though | 05:31 |
| ZetaRC121 | DarwinSurvivor Yep, there is no option about what to do when the laptop is closed, only what to do when on/off battery and what to do when the power button is pressed | 05:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: it would appear that ubuntu is not detecting the lid switch then. | 05:32 |
| missuse | hehehe i figure out thanks guys | 05:32 |

| alusion | Does anyone here use CrashPlan? | 05:34 |
| Jimu | I played with Fluxbox long ago. Life is too short | 05:34 |
| john | still can't disable it, another nasty bug is that overlay scrollbars dont work very well with xchat | 05:36 |
| Samanagh | Jimu life's too short? | 05:36 |
| mintux | I would like to see my desktop via browser but my problem is the remote vnc on browser doesn't show my current desktop and it seems it made new session when I use this command : vncserver :1 iv got A VNC server is already running as :1 but it's not true .. so what shall I do? | 05:37 |
| Jimu | Yeah, I don't see a compelling reason to use it these days | 05:37 |
| dr_willis | mintux: thats how vnc can work. | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | mintux: gnomes 'vino' vnc server can share the current visible desktop - if you enable it | 05:39 |
| mintux | dr_willis:but I don't have access via browser with vino? | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | mintux: vncserver -kill :1 should kill off any vnc server on port1 | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | mintux: brower? not clear on what you mean | 05:40 |
| ktchk | Hi when installing gimp-2.7 for ubuntu 10.04 lts (rtai) libgimp-2.0.0 need el and en-CA language support. any work arround? | 05:41 |
| mintux | dr_willis: now I can see my desktop (new session) with http and 5903 port it's a java applet . I want to see desktop with browser | 05:41 |
| ZetaRC121 | DarwinSurvivor would that still be the case when the backlight goes off? http://pastebin.com/p8krha0h | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | mintux: theres the x11vnserver or perhaps a vino option. but ive not used the vnc 'web' feature in years.. i found it too slow. i always use a normal vnc client | 05:42 |
| mintux | dr_willis: I ran vncserver -kill :1 it said to me Can't find file /home/mrg/.vnc/mrg-System-Product-Name:1.pid | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | mintux: check ps ax | grep vnc to see how many vncsessions you got running. | 05:42 |
| mintux | when I want to use it ..it said it's using when I want to kill it, it said there is no ... | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | its easy to accidently spawn extra vnc sessions. | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | you are telling it to use :1 - it could be theres a stale pid file also in your .vnc dir | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | just 'vncserver' will selext the next open port | 05:44 |
| mintux | I see something here | 05:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: yes, the backlight is most likely directly turned off in hardware | 05:44 |
| mintux | http://codepad.org/UTfswNZb | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | you could always use a 'killall vncserver' perhaps and clean out the .pid files and other extra files in .vnc | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | but thats a little overkill | 05:44 |
| mintux | I killall Xtightvnc now I have 3352 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep --colour=auto vnc | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | mintux: yes.. thats grep showing its self. ;) | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | logical eh | 05:46 |
| mintux | :-D | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | i alwyas use the absolute lightest most minimal window manager i can - when using vnc. too fancy a desktoop can slow it down too much | 05:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: does the following file exist on your system?: /proc/acpi/button/lib/LID0/state ? | 05:47 |

| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: run "while true; do cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state | tee -a log; sleep 1; done" | 05:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: you should see the same word printed out over and over, what is it? | 05:53 |
| Samanagh | Is there a simple way of making it so that alt tab only works between windows in your current workspace? Seems very counter intuitive to me.. | 05:53 |
| ZetaRC121 | DarwinSurvivor closed | 05:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: ok, now close the lid, count to 5 and re-open it. | 05:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: once you've done that tell me if you see anything in the list other than "closed" | 05:54 |
| dr_willis | count to 5,tap your heels together 3 times... say the magic words.. ;) | 05:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | dr_willis: lol | 05:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | dr_willis: if only things were that easy :( | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | figure out some way to change his wallpaper when he closed the lid and make it show a scary face... ;P | 05:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bahaha | 05:55 |
| ZetaRC121 | DarwinSurvivor nope, still closed | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | ive learned to NEVER trust the pc doing things automatically when closeing the Lid.. in Linux OR in windows.. | 05:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: ok, then it appears that acpi (what handles the hardware -> software interface) is detecting your lid switch, but not that it is being triggered | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | had a laptop almost burn up one day doing that.. | 05:56 |
| StarryNight | trusting windows is like trusting obama NOT to fake his birth certificate | 05:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ZetaRC121: do you by any chance have a directory for LID1 in the same place as LID0? | 05:57 |
| Terminus_ | windows 7 has been quite decent with laptop power management. linux OTOH i've never had any luck with. | 05:57 |
| Terminus_ | i've learned to just run pm-suspend manually. | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | ive had windos 7 work... unless i was running any apps.. ;) | 05:57 |
| Terminus_ | dr_willis: yeah... apps telling windows to never suspend would be a problem. =) | 05:58 |
| hata | ´ó¼ÒºÃ | 05:58 |

| john | dr_willis, thank you | 05:59 |
| Terminus_ | DarwinSurvivor: that too. i always check the indictor whether it's windows, osx, linux, etc. | 05:59 |
| Terminus_ | if only because i don't want to move my laptop until the drive heads are parked. | 06:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Zeit|awy_: there was only 1 mention of the backlight in your dmesg (setting it to default values) and I haven't come across any errors. unfortunately I'm not a hardware guru, so I'm not going to be able to do much else for you | 06:00 |
| ZetaRC121 | dr_willis well on my desktop it usually starts working when I threaten to hit it with the hammer, this laptop is unimpressed by threats though... | 06:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Zeit|awy_: I can tell you that "acpi is detecting a lid switch but not the open event" | 06:01 |
| ZetaRC121 | DarwinSurvivor sorry, got disconnected... | 06:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Zeit|awy_: I've often found having someone *else* threaten it is much more effective | 06:01 |

| CommaCrazy | tried with dhclient. tried with ifconfig eth0 down and up | 06:16 |
| CommaCrazy | but with no success | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | gh0strider: check that sound output 'device' vlc is using. it may need to be set to pulse, or alsa, or 'default' | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | gh0strider: if you are using kde.. it may need to changed if its set to 'pulse' | 06:17 |
| gh0strider | dr_willis: i have tried resetting the sound device for all of the ones you mentioned...no luck | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | gh0strider: after changeing it.. close and restart kde. | 06:18 |

| Nom- | Yeah, that doesn't work in our environment... all our users are going to be powered by LDAP, but it can't do that until the OS is configured with hostname, ip address, etc and can phone home to the puppet master | 06:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Nom-: what doesn't work? | 06:24 |
| kaustubh | hi | 06:24 |
| Nom- | And yeah, I know how to do unattended cd's... already got one... the hard part is when you do the install into say a VMWare template and then need to set the hostname/ip on first boot (ie. NOT using vmware customization templates) | 06:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Nom-: the non-root thing? you can have local system users and still use ldap! | 06:25 |
| kaustubh | installing ubuntu in vm does not work | 06:25 |

| rabbi1 | DarwinSurvivor: thank you, will check out their site .... worth a try .... :D | 06:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | richtroye: yeah, as I thought, it uses mono | 06:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | rabbi1: beware, a LOT of .net stuff does NOT work in mono at all, so if you use anything exotic or specalized you'll probably run into problems | 06:45 |
| rabbi1 | DarwinSurvivor: fingers crossed ;) | 06:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | rabbi1: If you can, you're probably best off using a virtualmachine or something to get your test system as close to the same as your production system as possible | 06:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | rabbi1: also, those instructions are for redhad, so you may have to do some translations/conversions when following those instructions | 06:47 |

| DarwinSurvivor | !java | krababbel for more info | 07:06 |
| ubottu | krababbel for more info: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| alusion | Well I am going to test out crashplan for Ubuntu 12.04, pretty sure I haven't heard of any news regarding compatibility or issues so ill see myself yo | 07:07 |
| alusion | Last time I tried it, things started happening and the light at the end of the tunnel was flickering | 07:08 |
| jackiechan0 | i set everything as it explained here but it does n't works http://iphone-vpn.com/support/how-to-set-up-unblock-vpn-on-linux.html | 07:08 |
| jackiechan0 | thanks for helping | 07:08 |
| SuSEno | What VPN problem jackiechan0 ? | 07:08 |
| fidel | alusion: crashplan isnt that bad - works pretty good | 07:08 |
| alusion | fidel, you are using it on 12.04 LTS? | 07:08 |
| jackiechan0 | SuSEno> it's unblockVPN and i set everything | 07:08 |
| fidel | alusion: no our cpp-proE servers are still running on 10.04 | 07:09 |
| fidel | i was more focused on crashplan itself - not 12.04 in specific | 07:09 |
| itsnotworking | if I use compiz, how and where do I choose window decorations? in ccsm I only see an option to enable/disable them. | 07:09 |
| SuSEno | Point to Point Tunneling Protocol | 07:10 |
| SuSEno | hmmm... | 07:10 |
| jackiechan0 | SuSEno> what's up? | 07:10 |
| alusion | Would this channel offer support for Blackbuntu aswell? | 07:10 |
| SuSEno | actually, I never use VPN. Sorry can't help :-( | 07:10 |
| jackiechan0 | blackbuntu ?what is that? | 07:10 |
| krababbel | DarwinSurvivor: Isn't icedtea still good? At least debian has it. | 07:10 |
| SuSEno | but you can explain your network configuration, so others can help. | 07:11 |
| DJones | alusion: I doubt it, the channel is only for the officially supported versions of Ubuntu (ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu) | 07:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: no, you'll need to use their support channels | 07:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | krababbel: if it's not on that page, it probably won't work | 07:11 |
| SuSEno | anyway if you can try install Tor, jackiechan0 | 07:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: my backup script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/979365/ and acccompanying config file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/979367/ (only lines 1&2 are required) | 07:12 |
| jackiechan0 | SuSEno> i want a VPN not TOR tnx anyway | 07:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: it can be customized to backup any computer to any other computer and uses ssh+rsync for all the transfers | 07:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: of course, usual "I am not responsible for any damage" clauses do apply. make sure you read *and* understand the script before using it! | 07:13 |
| alusion | Interesting, you do ssh bash scripting? | 07:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alusion: for my backup yes. it's not that hard once you learn the syntax | 07:14 |
| DJones | alusion: Looking at their website, their support irc channel is on "irc.foonetic.net" channel #Blackbuntu | 07:15 |
| alusion | Yeah I've dabbled, I was just wondering if you were some shell ninja or knew some kool tricks =) | 07:15 |

| Braden` | Hello | 07:27 |
| Onixs | _Matze_ i just used my old vbox image to the new vbox | 07:28 |
| krababbel | DarwinSurvivor: I installed java7 from a ppa again, and it seems to work well. Libreoffice 3.5 added support as well. :) | 07:28 |
| _Matze_ | Onixs: I don't understand.. | 07:29 |
| Braden` | Ubuntu is telling me that my max resolution is 1024x768; however, I would like to set it at 1366x768. How would I force it to use that resolution? | 07:29 |
| Braden` | Using the 2D desktop | 07:29 |
| CruX| | Braden`: try in console xrandr -s 1366x768 | 07:29 |
| Tony | Just wanted ot let everybody know I finally got the wlan0 up, PITA... | 07:29 |
| Tony | exit | 07:30 |
| Tony | :exit | 07:30 |
| Braden` | Will that remain when I reboot? | 07:30 |
| itsnotworking | is using checkinstall recommended, when installing stuff from source on ubuntu? | 07:30 |
| CruX| | Braden`: no | 07:30 |
| Braden` | CruX|: How do I make it permenate? | 07:30 |
| CruX| | Braden`: but try if this resolution is supported by your driver | 07:30 |
| Braden` | CruX|: Size not found in available modes | 07:31 |
| Braden` | (it was the correct resolution before I ran do-release-upgrade) | 07:31 |
| CruX| | hmm | 07:31 |
| CruX| | and which graphics card you have ? | 07:31 |
| Braden` | I have an NVIDIA card, but am using VirtualBox | 07:32 |
| Braden` | the host is Windows 7 | 07:32 |
| Braden` | I have the latest guest additions installed | 07:32 |
| CruX| | ah | 07:32 |
| CruX| | never used it, sorry | 07:33 |
| krababbel | Braden`: can't you just resize the guest window then? | 07:33 |

This does not happen with 10.04, nor with the built-in Intel graphics. Any ideas? | 07:33 |
| Braden` | krabbel: Ubuntu is maxing at 1024x768 | 07:33 |

| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: not crashing... can't even login lol:) | 07:39 |
| stevedtrrrrm | it sez processor isnt right for kernel# | 07:40 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: freezing on bootup | 07:40 |
| stevedtrrrrm | when i try to boot to the cd image | 07:40 |
| stevedtrrrrm | why? | 07:40 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: try "unity --reset" ? | 07:40 |
| Braden` | krababbel: I will re-install guest additions | 07:40 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, look at the bright side: At least you don't get the opportunity to get in the middle of a task and THEN have your computer freeze. | 07:40 |
| stevedtrrrrm | says it needs..... | 07:41 |

| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: I guess... but I've been at this for three days-.- | 07:41 |
| stevedtrrrrm | pretty sure i dled 32 bit | 07:41 |
| stevedtrrrrm | checking now | 07:41 |
| _Matze_ | thomaspr: zumindest irgendwie sowas.. ist mir auch egal wie.. hauptsache, ich kann auf mein VM-OS wieder zugreifen | 07:41 |
| stevedtrrrrm | says it needs "pae" | 07:41 |
| sirriffsalot | banseljaj: haha:) Go to rescue mode and get into failsafe mode, then try dpkg | 07:41 |
| banseljaj | Anyways, How do I release the lock so I can install stuff. | 07:41 |
| zamba | how can i make the calendar in gnome show monday as the first day of week? | 07:41 |

| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: definitely | 07:42 |
| stevedtrrrrm | i 386 is 32 bit? | 07:42 |
| krababbel | Braden`: You should have a menu in virtualbox guest window: View/auto resize guest display. If it is not greyed out, guest additions are OK. | 07:42 |
| thomaspr | Die meinten wahrscheinlich, dass Du eine leere VM erzeugst und den Pfad auf die bereits bestehende umbiegst ? | 07:42 |

| stevedtrrrrm | k tom | 07:43 |
| AchlysEpithet | thomaspr, it means a 32 bit processor. | 07:43 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: haha... well, people call us crazy for updating to 12.04 within two months of release, but it wouldn't develop without us, so give ourselves a pat on the bacK;D | 07:43 |
| AchlysEpithet | And not necessarily an Intel. | 07:43 |
| AchlysEpithet | I.. guess. =P. | 07:43 |
| CruX| | Braden`: if 1024x768 is max try to increase video memory | 07:43 |
| CruX| | in virtualbox | 07:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thomaspr: no, i386 is for ALL 32 bit processors (except possibly arm) | 07:44 |
| stevedtrrrrm | yes i am in virtualbox | 07:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thomaspr: amd64 is also for all 64 bit processors | 07:44 |
| appamajig_ | i386 is any x86 (from amd, intel, a few others, but relatively unknown) that does NOT support 64-bit (but i386 apps CAN run on 64-bit hardware) | 07:44 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, they shouldn't release an LTS version saying it works unless it really does. Taking the expert's word for it shouldn't be "crazy" | 07:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thomaspr: basically intel made a 32 bit architecture that everyone else copied and amd did the same with 64 bit | 07:45 |
| Alinn | Hi | 07:45 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: they do tell us they can't be 100% sure:) | 07:45 |
| wildwilly | can someone explain what would cause an installation to hang at "stopping CPU interrupts balancing daemon"? | 07:45 |
| stevedtrrrrm | i am in virtual box with 32 bit processor and i386 iso file | 07:45 |
| AchlysEpithet | Well actually the i386 was a family of 32 bit processors including the Intel 80686. | 07:45 |
| AchlysEpithet | The i586 was the pentium series, and the 686 were most of the 64bit processors. | 07:45 |
| stevedtrrrrm | "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU :- pae" | 07:46 |
| AchlysEpithet | Well officially, the are intel-specefic, but they use this de-factor term to classify the processors. so an i386 ubuntu would run fine on any 32 bit intel or amd processor. | 07:46 |
| appamajig_ | AchlysEpithet, in the context of linux, it means 32-bit compiled. no need to confuse poeple. | 07:46 |
| stevedtrrrrm | "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU :- pae" << is the error msg when booting to the image thru virtualbox | 07:46 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, mmm. Well your CPU doesn't have physical address extension. | 07:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: this is in virtualbox? | 07:46 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, yeah, I'm still wondering if I should try to RMA my brand new motherboard before it's too late to try another one. Maybe mixing up new hardware would make the bug go away | 07:46 |
| stevedtrrrrm | yes darwin | 07:46 |
| AchlysEpithet | They let you address more than 4 GB of ram in non 64 bit systems. | 07:46 |
| Alinn | In ubuntu scripts runs after double clicking how can i do this in kubuntu? | 07:47 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: Don't know what to tell you, haha:) | 07:47 |
| banseljaj | Okay, Now it won't let me log in graphically, But I can log in from command line easily. Worst of all, it can log in the Guest Account | 07:47 |
| banseljaj | :@ | 07:47 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: gonna visit my dad with this computer and see if we can sort it out together since no one here has the length of time + skill to sort it out | 07:47 |
| AchlysEpithet | appamajig_, =\. Well pardon me if I am wrong, but thomaspr thought it's only for intel. | 07:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: close the guest, select it and hit "settings -> system -> processor" and make sure "Enable PAE" is checked | 07:47 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys epithet - the processor is a standard but 6 or 87 year old ibm thinkpads' intel centrino. 1.5ghz | 07:47 |
| stevedtrrrrm | *6 or 7* | 07:47 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, well then it's probably 32 bit, has no PAE. And will therefore only run Ubuntu i386. | 07:48 |
| AchlysEpithet | And umm... will only address upto 4 GB of ram. | 07:48 |
| AchlysEpithet | (Actually 3.7 GB or something like that.) | 07:48 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, lul, I would try my new hardware under Windows, but my windows HDD is an IDE drive, and the new motherboard doesn't have a connector. Irony... | 07:48 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys - but ive downloaded the i386 iso | 07:48 |
| AchlysEpithet | It doesn't run? | 07:49 |
| AchlysEpithet | O_o. | 07:49 |
| stevedtrrrrm | and am trying to boot to it in the VM | 07:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: check the virtualbox setting. if "Enable PAE" is grayed out, your processor does not support it | 07:49 |
| stevedtrrrrm | correct. | 07:49 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, VMWare? | 07:49 |
| sirriffsalot | HowDoI: at least we're having fun;D | 07:49 |
| stevedtrrrrm | virtualbox | 07:49 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, use 1 GB of ram. | 07:49 |
| AchlysEpithet | Enable PAE. | 07:49 |
| AchlysEpithet | and disable VT/x if there is an option. | 07:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: did you check the virtual box setting for PAE? | 07:49 |
| AchlysEpithet | Since I don't know what version of VirtualBox you run. | 07:49 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys- ill have to buy some more ram- the machine only has 248MB | 07:50 |
| AchlysEpithet | Oh damn. -.- | 07:50 |
| appamajig_ | AchlysEpithet, if you want to be technical, it's not an intel term, it's a standard for 32-bit software instruction (a set of instruction used by compiled 32-bit applications) it was pioneered by intel, and first included on 80386 processors. It is not intel-specific, but it is a standard. easiest explained as 32-bit programs are i386. processor doesn't matter (unless you'r on a phone or an up coming arm-processor system). | 07:50 |
| AchlysEpithet | Then just use 128 mb of ram. | 07:50 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys - ill set it to that npw | 07:50 |
| stevedtrrrrm | sec | 07:50 |
| AchlysEpithet | appamajig_, are you implying IA-32 is same as i386? | 07:51 |
| HowDoI | sirriffsalot, yeah, right now I just have to deal with the screen blanking out all the time, but at least it hasn't crashed yet. With a 5 year old graphics card. | 07:51 |
| AchlysEpithet | It runs a 32 bit architecture too. | 07:51 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, hope it works. =). | 07:51 |
| stevedtrrrrm | trying now | 07:51 |
| stevedtrrrrm | same error | 07:51 |
| stevedtrrrrm | :( | 07:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: do you have PAE enabled in virtualbox? | 07:52 |
| AchlysEpithet | What does it say? | 07:52 |
| stevedtrrrrm | where will the vtx option be ? | 07:52 |
| stevedtrrrrm | "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU :- pae" << is the error msg when booting to the image thru virtualbox | 07:52 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, under processors, I think. I actually use VMWare. | 07:52 |
| appamajig_ | AchlysEpithet, BUT, with all that said, there really was no need to correct you at all. So you can disregard it. had a pedantic moment... IA-32 is the OFFICIAL intel verbage for 32-bit instruction sets. IA-32 is specifically intel, i386 is generic. | 07:53 |
| appamajig_ | AchlysEpithet, but no, I wasn't originally saying that. | 07:53 |
| AchlysEpithet | -.- | 07:53 |
| Alinn | In ubuntu scripts runs after double clicking how can i do this in kubuntu? | 07:53 |
| stevedtrrrrm | i see no vtx option | 07:54 |
| AchlysEpithet | I'll rephrase what you just said. Intel i386 isn't the generic term for all 32 bit processors. It's the official term for the Intel 80686 processors made during in 1985. | 07:54 |
| stevedtrrrrm | error message is:- "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU :- pae" | 07:54 |
| AchlysEpithet | While IA-32 is the generic name for all 32 bit processors. | 07:54 |
| AchlysEpithet | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-32 | 07:54 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, Are you sure your CPU has PAE? | 07:54 |
| appamajig_ | you got that from IA-32 is the OFFICIAL intel verbage? seriously? | 07:54 |
| AchlysEpithet | It is. | 07:55 |
| HowDoI | stevedtrrrrm, have you installed the VB kernel modules? | 07:55 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys- does that mean i can use the processor to pour cheese onto nachos? | 07:55 |
| stevedtrrrrm | howdoi - no. what are they? | 07:55 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, should you be compelled, yes. | 07:55 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys- i dont know what pae is | 07:56 |
| dr_willis | !pae | 07:56 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 07:56 |
| stevedtrrrrm | i know what the acronym stands for. but beyond that... | 07:56 |
| stevedtrrrrm | thanx willis | 07:56 |
| stevedtrrrrm | looking | 07:56 |

| dr_willis | pae is default on 32 bit 12.04 ubuntu | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu has non pae option by default | 07:57 |
| HowDoI | stevedtrrrrm, did you recently update the linux kernel on your machine? Virtualbox always needed to reload the kernel module after I did that | 07:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HowDoI: I believe his host system is windows | 07:57 |
| stevedtrrrrm | no how do i i wouldnt know how to do that | 07:58 |
| pedahzur | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 under KVM/qemu (via virt-install)on a CentOS 6.2 host. Install starts, but then tells me: "ERROR Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree." Same error with the 10.04 ISO. Both are server CDs. Any ideas? | 07:58 |
| _Matze_ | My Ubuntu on WMware-player broke down and wouldn't boot anymore. so I came here yesterday and I was told to make a new ubuntu-VM and get access to the old ubuntu-VM from the new system.. how can I do so? | 07:58 |
| stevedtrrrrm | darwin im on windows yes | 07:58 |
| HowDoI | Oh wait, stevedtrrrrm, you're asking about Windows? | 07:58 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, | 07:58 |
| AchlysEpithet | Ummm, sorry to bother you, but can you tell me the exact processor you use? | 07:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: can you please look at the screenshot I posted and tell me if you have the same PAE/NX option in your virtualbox? | 07:58 |
| stevedtrrrrm | howdoi - running ubuntu on virtualbox in windows. yes | 07:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HowDoI: windows host, ubuntu guest | 07:58 |
| stevedtrrrrm | looking darwin | 07:59 |
| HowDoI | stevedtrrrrm, so your windows host is complaining about not having pae, or your Ubuntu guest OS? | 07:59 |
| stevedtrrrrm | ubuntu guest os when i try to boot to the CD to install it | 07:59 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, do you have PAE enabled in BIOS? | 07:59 |
| stevedtrrrrm | darwin - the option is there, and greyed out, with the check mark present. | 08:00 |
| AchlysEpithet | Greyed out? Aha. | 08:00 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys - i wouldnt know. | 08:00 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, Most likely, your BIOS doesn't have PAE enabled. | 08:00 |
| AchlysEpithet | =). | 08:00 |
| AchlysEpithet | If the host doesn't have PAE enabled, the guest can't have an option for PAE. | 08:00 |
| HowDoI | stevedtrrrrm, weird. Most computers have had pae support for decades, apparently | 08:01 |
| AchlysEpithet | HowDoI, most are, by default, disabled. | 08:01 |
| AchlysEpithet | xD | 08:01 |
| AchlysEpithet | My old Silicon Graphics crusader was. | 08:01 |
| snapdata | I get this error whenever trying to use FFMPEG to stream to an FME server: "[rtmp @ 0x15927a0] Server error: Reserved property (releaseStream)." Tried googling No dice. Any ideas? | 08:01 |
| stevedtrrrrm | this is a 2005 Thinkpad R50e | 08:01 |
| stevedtrrrrm | so i must go and enable it? | 08:01 |
| stevedtrrrrm | in bios? | 08:01 |
| HowDoI | stevedtrrrrm, have you tried booting the Ubuntu CD directly, without virtualbox? | 08:02 |
| stevedtrrrrm | howdoi - i dont have a CD | 08:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: it could also be that his windows OS simply doesn't have the PAE driver installed. | 08:03 |
| stevedtrrrrm | darwinsurvivor, how do i check? | 08:03 |
| EvokenAcheron | Dammit, my bnc went down. -.- | 08:03 |
| HowDoI | stevedtrrrrm, so you're just mounting the .iso in Windows? You could try a USB stick | 08:03 |
| stevedtrrrrm | and how do i activate it in bios? | 08:03 |
| EvokenAcheron | stevedtrrrrm, is it AMI or Phoenix? | 08:04 |
| stevedtrrrrm | hrmm. not sure i have a USB stick- ill check | 08:04 |
| efaistos | hello | 08:04 |
| EvokenAcheron | Hello efaistos. | 08:04 |
| stevedtrrrrm | evoken - is what AMI or phoenix? | 08:04 |
| efaistos | Was wondering was the equivalent of sun-java6-jre on ubuntu ... | 08:04 |
| stevedtrrrrm | evoken ive no idea what ami and phoenix refer to | 08:04 |
| EvokenAcheron | stevedtrrrrm, is your BIOS made by American Megatrends International or Phoenix? | 08:04 |
| efaistos | or this one sun-java6-plugin | 08:04 |
| dr_willis | !java | 08:05 |
| ubottu | 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. | 08:05 |
| EvokenAcheron | efaistos, the sun-java6-plugin, I believe, integrates java with the browsers. | 08:05 |
| stevedtrrrrm | evoken - i dont know- i dont get the yellow megatrends logo. I imagine phonix - will it tell me at boot? | 08:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: booting off the live-cd/usb will tell you if your *processor* supports it. if not, you'll have to use lubuntu or something. If it DOES support it, you will need to try the #windows channel and ask them how to install it in windows | 08:05 |
| EvokenAcheron | stevedtrrrrm, umm.. well yes, usually. Should I get you pictures of those two? | 08:05 |
| efaistos | EvokenAcheron: yeah have a colleague here with an ubuntu ... and cant find any java pkg | 08:05 |
| * efaistos under debian has no issue :) | 08:06 | |
| DarwinSurvivor | !java | efaistos | 08:06 |

| EvokenAcheron | efaistos, I suggest you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras from Ubuntu's repository. | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | the iced-tea gpl java is in the repos | 08:06 |
| EvokenAcheron | It includes the Sun Java JRE6 with the IcedTea plugin. | 08:06 |

| EvokenAcheron | Does your's look like that one? | 08:06 |
| efaistos | EvokenAcheron: ok i'll forward the pkg :) | 08:06 |
| Peetz0r | Hi, I just upgraded from ubutnu server 10.04 > 12.04, and now apache isn't doing https anymore | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | i just checked those those one box's at the start of the installer and i think it pulled them in by default. ;) | 08:06 |
| EvokenAcheron | efaistos, Erm, just hold on. | 08:07 |

| janamithran | i am using ubuntu 12.04 . in my keyboar numpad is not working only enter key is working how to solve this problem? | 08:07 |
| stevedtrrrrm | evoken - from memory yes booting to it now | 08:07 |
| AchlysEpithet | janamithran, are you sure your keyboard's not faulty? =P. | 08:07 |
| HowDoI | janamithran, press the Num Lock key? | 08:08 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, all right. Ah, just go through all of the submenus, it should have "PAE" written some place. I am pretty sure. | 08:08 |
| efaistos | thanks i forwarded the two links he should be able to setup his java now :) | 08:08 |
| AchlysEpithet | janamithran, it could be possible that you're not using the right keyboard layout. | 08:08 |
| stevedtrrrrm | ill tekk a look when i git there, | 08:08 |
| AchlysEpithet | efaistos, let's hope so! | 08:08 |
| AchlysEpithet | =D. | 08:08 |
| * efaistos is too kind ... should tell 'em to go find an answer :) | 08:08 | |
| janamithran | AchlysEpithet HowDoI ya it works propely in microsoft windos and i press numkey too | 08:08 |
| AchlysEpithet | janamithran, likely that you don' | 08:08 |
| efaistos | i mean 3 minutes two links :) | 08:08 |
| AchlysEpithet | * don't have the right keyboard layout set up for windows. | 08:09 |
| AchlysEpithet | Damn, I need a new keyboard. | 08:09 |

| dontknow | is kms default driver for ati in ubuntu? | 08:09 |
| AchlysEpithet | This one aint't fast enough. | 08:09 |
| janamithran | AchlysEpithet: i am using english us layaout | 08:09 |
| HowDoI | janamithran, if you hold down the 4, 5, 6, or 8 key, do you see your mouse cursor moving? | 08:09 |
| AchlysEpithet | janamithran, should work. =|. | 08:09 |
| HowDoI | I mean 2, 4, 6, or 8 | 08:09 |
| === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 | ||
| janamithran | HowDoI: yes | 08:09 |
| AchlysEpithet | dontknow, I believe not, each card has their own driver. | 08:09 |
| AchlysEpithet | You can use jockey to find out what driver your computer needs. | 08:09 |
| AchlysEpithet | If you can't find the right driver for your card, go to the ATI website, hopefully, they'll have a source code for your card that you can compile and install. | 08:10 |
| AchlysEpithet | But jockey-gtk usually detects most of the hardwares that require installing a propreitary driver and does it automatically for you. | 08:10 |
| HowDoI | janamithran, it's a super-annoying "disability feature". Try pressing Shift + Num Lock | 08:10 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys - the bios screen is entitled IBM BIOS SETUP UTILITY | 08:10 |
| thatoneguy | I have a samsung series 9 on 12.04 and it's running extremely hot... any suggestions? | 08:10 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, Aha. | 08:11 |
| Qualia | hhow do i check for xchat updates | 08:11 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, is there an "Advanced Option" or anything? | 08:11 |
| stevedtrrrrm | looking achlys | 08:11 |
| AchlysEpithet | Qualia, the apt-get update usually does it. | 08:11 |
| Anomie21 | I'm trying to made a slideshow for someone in iPhoto and it's a POS, is there something for Ubuntu that does the same job? | 08:11 |
| janamithran | HowDoI: i tryed but not wortking | 08:11 |
| HowDoI | janamithran, also, I noticed that in some versions of Ubuntu, after connecting/controlling the host through VNC, this "feature" would be automatically enabled | 08:11 |
| AchlysEpithet | Anomie21, LibreOffice? | 08:12 |
| AchlysEpithet | Maybe that should work. | 08:12 |
| Anomie21 | AchlysEpithet: You can make slideshows in Libre? | 08:12 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlys - "extended memory initialisation" | 08:12 |
| stevedtrrrrm | is that it? | 08:12 |
| AchlysEpithet | Anomie21, they have Libre Presentation, I am certain. | 08:12 |
| HowDoI | janamithran, Are you using Ubuntu 12.04? | 08:12 |
| stevedtrrrrm | the only thing that looks remotelylike "pae" | 08:13 |
| Anomie21 | AchlysEpithet: Isn't that more like powerpoint? | 08:13 |
| janamithran | but i don't know vnc | 08:13 |

| Anomie21 | AchlysEpithet: Ta :) | 08:13 |
| HowDoI | janamithran, looks like they changed the keyboard toggle setting in 12.04. Go to your system settings, then "Universal Access", then click the "Pointing and Clicking" tab, and turn off "Mouse Keys" | 08:13 |
| AchlysEpithet | It's a video editor, and lets you create photo slideshows and burn them directly onto an optical media. | 08:14 |
| AchlysEpithet | Or awhatever you prefer. xD. | 08:14 |
| stevedtrrrrm | achlyepithet the only thing that looks remotelylike "pae" | 08:14 |

| stevedtrrrrm | achlysepithet the only thing that looks remotelylike "pae" | 08:14 |

| AchlysEpithet | xenon_, press Alt + F2 | 08:15 |
| AchlysEpithet | This will bring up the Terminal. | 08:15 |
| AchlysEpithet | Type out killall gnome-panel in terminal. | 08:15 |
| stevedtrrrrm | its currently disabled yes | 08:16 |
| xenon_ | in terminal?I can't open terminal,i'm stuck in searching and this browser | 08:16 |
| AchlysEpithet | That should work. It kills the process gnome-panel. The gnome-panel should automatically resurrect. | 08:16 |

| AchlysEpithet | xenon_, mmm... Did you try restarting your computer? | 08:18 |
| AchlysEpithet | pungi-man, I'll note that down some place. Blimey enough the fact, you use the same IP address, pungi-man. | 08:18 |

| HowDoI | stevedtrrrrm, enabling pae might cause a problem with your Windows installation though... be warned | 08:21 |
| AchlysEpithet | Well he is right about that, stevedtrrrrm. Gives you nasty bluescreens. | 08:22 |
| jacobrask | DarwinSurvivor: it was backspace, thanks | 08:22 |

| stevedtrrrrm | there wasnt an option for pae | 08:22 |
| stevedtrrrrm | just "extended meory initialiaztion" | 08:23 |
| AchlysEpithet | stevedtrrrrm, well did your turn on VirtualBox and start up the ubuntu guest? | 08:23 |
| stevedtrrrrm | could be the same thing | 08:23 |
| stevedtrrrrm | i spose | 08:23 |
| AchlysEpithet | Well it's highly unlikely that EMI could be same as PAE. | 08:23 |
| stevedtrrrrm | long boot - old machine | 08:23 |
| xenon_ | I restarted,it doesn't work | 08:23 |

| xenon_ | yeah,cannot do,i can't access terminal | 08:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | _Matze_: try booting the vm with a setup iso for ubuntu and using that | 08:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | _Matze_: just like when you first installed it, just chose "try ubuntu" instead of "install ubuntu" | 08:28 |
| AchlysEpithet | xenon_, restart your computer, drop into recovery mode. | 08:28 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: have the new vm instance attatch the broken instances hd image to the new vm session as a 2nd hd is one way | 08:29 |

| DarwinSurvivor | HowDoI: the 32bit ubuntu desktop disk uses pae by default now | 08:29 |

| _Matze_ | dr_willis: how can I boot a live cd iso? | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: tell the vm to boot it. using its settings | 08:31 |
| xenon_ | oh,i have foud terminal | 08:31 |
| cocolos | hi | 08:31 |
| _Matze_ | DarwinSurvivor: there is no "Try Ubuntu" | 08:31 |
| cocolos | Can I set the watchdog timer? | 08:31 |
| stevedtrrrrm | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bit << desktop version, right ? | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | cocolos: what whatdog timer? | 08:32 |
| HowDoI | stevedtrrrrm, you can maybe try the minimal iso version as per: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html | 08:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | _Matze_: select the vm in virtualbox and got to settings -> storage and add the iso as a virtual CD-rom | 08:32 |
| _Matze_ | dr_willis: VMware-player or the VM-OS itself? | 08:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | _Matze_: then boot it | 08:32 |
| stevedtrrrrm | ok how doi | 08:32 |
| cocolos | dr_willis: Well when I run my cuda app it always get killed because the kernel is taking too long | 08:32 |
| cocolos | dr_willis: I assume this is to prevent program from going to infinite loop | 08:32 |
| xenon_ | i wrote "sudo dpkg -r" and it gave an error " dpkg : -- remove needs at least one package name argument" | 08:32 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: im not clear on what yiou mean. if you want to access a messed up vm disk image.. boot an iso in the VM | 08:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | _Matze_: actually, first things first: what VM are you using? virtualbox, wmware, etc | 08:33 |
| thatoneguy | i'm watching the temps now | 08:33 |
| thatoneguy | i just restarted so it'll tak ea couple mins | 08:33 |
| _Matze_ | DarwinSurvivor: VMware | 08:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | _Matze_: oh sorry, i'm only familiar with virtualbox. but you should be able to boot off the iso and do your recovery from there. | 08:34 |
| thatoneguy | AchlysEpithet: temp1: 48 C and temp2: 29.8 C (crit +100C) | 08:34 |
| AchlysEpithet | HOLY THING ! | 08:34 |
| _Matze_ | dr_willis: I want to access a messed up guest OS but I don't know if it's aviable as an Iso.. | 08:34 |
| AchlysEpithet | thatoneguy, are you sure you didn't spray some oil on it and put it on a bbq? | 08:34 |
| AchlysEpithet | =|. | 08:34 |
| xenon_ | i managed to reset unity from terminal,works now!! | 08:34 |
| _Matze_ | DarwinSurvivor: OK, thanks! I'll try! | 08:35 |
| AchlysEpithet | thatoneguy, | 08:35 |
| AchlysEpithet | I think your init.d script turns down the fan RPM. | 08:35 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: any linux iso should work. | 08:35 |
| AchlysEpithet | That makes it heat up. | 08:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AchlysEpithet: actually, I've seen many systems get along with a cpu of 60 | 08:35 |
| AchlysEpithet | I suggest you too look at this <--- http://tuxtweaks.com/2008/08/how-to-control-fan-speeds-in-ubuntu/ | 08:36 |
| stevedtrrrrm | nope that change to the bios didnt work :( | 08:36 |
| stevedtrrrrm | still says missing pae | 08:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: then you'll either have to talk to the #windows guys to find out if it's a hardware or windows problem. or you will need to use lubuntu which has no pae by default | 08:36 |
| _Matze_ | dr_willis: but how can I tell it, what VM-OS to access? | 08:36 |
| AchlysEpithet | DarwinSurvivor, Most Intels of the Core generation don't go beyond 45 inside the room. | 08:36 |
| cocolos | dr_willis: is that correct? | 08:37 |
| stevedtrrrrm | ok darwin thanks | 08:37 |
| AchlysEpithet | CPUs with a bigger manufacturing process tend to heat up faster. AMDs heat up really bad. | 08:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stevedtrrrrm: with 256MB of ram, you're going to have a hard time running a vm anyways, especially the full-blown unity desktop | 08:37 |
| thatoneguy | It's a samsung series 9... being thin probably wouldn't help that, I just thought it was really strange considering it barely gets warm in windows no matter what i do | 08:37 |
| dr_willis | cocolos: no idea. never messed with cuda or that part of ubuntu | 08:38 |
| rebourn | anyone familiar with pbxware | 08:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thatoneguy: do the fans sound noisier or quieter in ubuntu than windows (also check with your hand how much pressure/volume is coming out) | 08:38 |
| _Matze_ | dr_willis: I have another Ubuntu on VMware-player. can I maybe access the other ubuntu from there? | 08:38 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: if i had a broken vm in vbox. i would start that vm session in vbox. but befor i powered it on 'virtually' i would have it insert the iso in to the virtual cd drive.. so its in fact booting the cd.... same as you would for a real pc. | 08:39 |
| thatoneguy | DarwinSurvivor: I'll take notice tomorrow... the fan on this thing is really quiet so I rarely notice it. | 08:39 |
| _Matze_ | dr_willis: Ah, so I need a virtual cd drive | 08:40 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: thats a noirmal feature of all these vm's | 08:40 |
| dr_willis | thsts how you normally instgsll the os in the first placce on them, ;) | 08:41 |
| _Matze_ | dr_willis: okay.. how do I get to this GRUB or however the bootmenu is called? | 08:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thatoneguy: have you noticed if unity is really slow? it could be that your graphics card has the wrong driver and the cpu is trying to do the grahic's card's job | 08:42 |

| wendico | may i play my arcade mame roms on ubuntu? | 08:42 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: err. you are booting the iso. that gets to the 'live desktop' you then access your hd as you would if it was on a real machine. Im not sure what bootmenu you are refering to | 08:42 |
| A_J | umm my flash is broken : http://i2.lulzimg.com/c9030c595e.png | 08:43 |
| _Matze_ | dr_willis: I thought of the one,, where I can select the boot device | 08:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | dr_willis: I had told him earlier to boot from the iso and chose "try ubuntu" from the menu, that may be what he's thinking of | 08:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nvm | 08:44 |
| A_J | heya dr_willis | 08:44 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: i dont use vmware. only vbox.. so no idea if its set to boot the iso by default or not.. | 08:44 |

| _Matze_ | dr_willis: and if I install VirtualBox ? Could I then access my old VMware-Ubuntu? | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: you may need to convert the HD images to a differnt format. | 08:48 |
| thatoneguy | I've been using it, waiting for it to get hot... and realized I haven't had compiz on... maybe it's that? | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: if you converted the HD images to 'raw' format - i think you could mount them directly | 08:48 |
| _Matze_ | dr_willis: I'm running Ubuntu in a VM: Guest Ubuntu, Host WinXP | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | _Matze_: so load the vm app, tweak its settings to mount/boot the iso file.. and let it boot up. | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | vbox even lets you use its menus to load a cd, and reboot.. | 08:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thatoneguy: that makes me think you don't have the right video card drivers installed | 08:52 |

| flipscript | Really! >< How did I miss that one. I must have been burt out and missed it. Thanks, I guess I'll have to work on my reading skills | 09:01 |
| flipscript | lol derp | 09:01 |
| thatoneguy | Also, I'm using whatever driver came with the installation... | 09:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | flipscript: save that command, you will probably need it again if you are using virtualbox! | 09:02 |

| thatoneguy | DarwinSurvivor: nope | 09:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thatoneguy: can you run "additional drivers" from the applications menu? | 09:05 |
| thatoneguy | It said no proprietary drivers are in use and had no other options but to close | 09:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thatoneguy: ok, then it's most likely not a video card problem | 09:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | thatoneguy: is it relatively cool right now? | 09:10 |
| thatoneguy | Yea, it's fine right now, just a little warm, nothing unusual and it says 54C | 09:10 |

| thatoneguy | No :-\ But the difference was quite significant... like almost burning me hot... I immediately turned it off in fear lol | 09:13 |

| xuserx | now,can you help me ? | 10:20 |
| shani0610 | I was here: root@ad-linbox:~# | 10:20 |
| chu | xuserx: I don't know, apparently there's no key there. You might want to look around the web site where that PPA is and see if they have anything to say about it. | 10:20 |
| MonkeyDust | xuserx better contact the maintainer of the PPA | 10:21 |
| chu | xuserx: I can't really help you - I have no idea what you're trying to do (what that PPA does), I have no idea how PPAs work in general, I have just done some quick google searching. Sorry I can't be of more help. | 10:21 |
| rabbi1 | guys, how can i find a particular font path ? | 10:22 |
| Starwood | shani0610: Looks like your home directory, so your /home/username/ | 10:22 |
| Wipster | afternoon all, can anyone recommend a disk checking utility? I need to check my usb as I think its on the way out, cheers. | 10:22 |
| MonkeyDust | xuserx a PPA is an 'external' software source and not supported here | 10:22 |
| shani0610 | been there nope, no traces | 10:23 |
| xuserx | i had the same error with opera | 10:23 |
| alusion_ | Hello Ubuntu I am using gnome and my super key won't bring up the activities screen anymore what happened? | 10:24 |
| xuserx | that ppa is usable but that error is annoying | 10:24 |
| xuserx | how can i disable gpg errors ? | 10:24 |
| OriginalYankster | No takers on Ubuntu 12.04 install from bootable USB? It's quite an interesting story... | 10:24 |
| Starwood | shani0610: Hidden file by chance? | 10:26 |
| Wipster | OriginalYankster, there is a step by step on the website http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx | 10:26 |
| reynir | Since I have upgraded to 12.04 the keyboard has stopped working in X.org three times. Killing xmonad "helps" but it's a very poor solution. Is this a known issue? | 10:26 |
| rtp2342 | shani0610: maybe you want to look at /root | 10:26 |
| shani0610 | nope I have already allowed hidden files... | 10:27 |
| gaston_ | hi guys, i'm trying to install a driver to be able to use my video aquisition card on ubuntu, been through 3 tutorials, anyone familiar with that? | 10:27 |
| rtp2342 | shani0610: seems you were root when running wget | 10:27 |
| shani0610 | yep I was so how to get that file? | 10:28 |
| shani0610 | I got no access to root folder | 10:28 |
| rtp2342 | shani0610: of course, normal users are not allowed to read/write the /root directory | 10:28 |
| rabbi1 | guys, how can i find a particular font path ? tried checking in font.conf but no luck :( | 10:28 |
| rtp2342 | shani0610: why did you wget the file as user root anyway? | 10:28 |
| shani0610 | It was a crappy mistake I was apt-ing afew apps. | 10:29 |
| rtp2342 | shani0610: then log in as root again, move the file to your normal user's home dir and chown it to that user | 10:30 |
| shani0610 | ok guys thanx | 10:30 |
| rtp2342 | shani0610: mv /root/blah.mp3 /home/user/ ; chown user:user /home/user/blah.mp3 | 10:30 |
| Beel | I'm using the Ubuntu live CD and I'm trying to install ubuntu on a different hard drive than where I have windows installed. It keeps telling me "No root file system defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" I thought I knew what I was doing, but I don't. | 10:31 |
| OriginalYankster | <Wipster> thanks for the reply, however i've already created the USB AND had it successfully boot into Ubuntu on my PC with no OS - then realizing I forgot to connect my HDD to it's SATA port. Powered down, plugged in HDD, now all I get "isolinux.bin missing or corrupt".. *scratches head* | 10:31 |
| nmarques | anyone can tell me the default console font on Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 10:31 |
| Wipster | OriginalYankster, its possible the usb is corrupted then if you hold shift while its booting and choose check disk integrity | 10:32 |
| rabbi1 | guys, how can i find a particular font path ? tried checking in font.conf but no luck :( | 10:34 |
| fotomonster | i need some help compiling an application that requires wxWidgets to be compiled with OpenGL support | 10:35 |
| fotomonster | it seems like libwxgtk isn't | 10:35 |

| * warka runs with fonts | 10:38 | |
| OriginalYankster | <Wipster> Ok, thank you for the tip! Just go called out on a job so I can't check till tonite - should I buy a new USB pen and try it then, or would it be enough to format the USB? | 10:39 |
| gaston_ | when i try to modprobe raw1394, it can't find it. anyone knows why/how? | 10:42 |
| MonkeyDust | !tab| OriginalYankster | 10:42 |
| ubottu | OriginalYankster: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 10:42 |
| Wipster | OriginalYankster, depends putting the image back on might be enough or it might be a duff usb | 10:44 |
| OriginalYankster | <ubottu> thanks, not sure if i'm doing it right though - <> with nick in between? | 10:45 |
| rebourn | how do I dind out if I have a 32bit or 64 bit ubuntu | 10:46 |
| Ben64 | uname -a | 10:47 |
| OriginalYankster | <Wipster> Ok, I'll get an extra drive just in case - just can't figure out why it decided to go nuts once i plugged in a hard drive =P thanks for your help, I really appreciate it! | 10:47 |
| Ben64 | OriginalYankster: if you put people's names in <> it makes it look like you're quoting them, not talking to them | 10:48 |
| ikonia | OriginalYankster: again, I'm still not sure what hardware platform you're actually trying to install to | 10:48 |
| ikonia | OriginalYankster: could you please confirm what you are trying to install to | 10:48 |
| Anomie21 | Is there anyway I can give a specific program a higher priority? So it gets allocated more RAM/CPU? | 10:50 |
| rebourn | Linux laftof 3.2.0-24-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 10:47:59 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux | 10:50 |
| rebourn | 32 bit? | 10:50 |
| ikonia | rebourn: correct | 10:51 |
| rebourn | ty | 10:51 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: doesn't quite work like that, what are you trying to do any what problem are you having | 10:51 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: you can change priorities of things, but it won't do what you're after, are you having a problem with a specific program/instance | 10:51 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: Trying to compile a movie file in Pitvi and it keeps freezing | 10:51 |
| ikonia | amogorkon: have you any idea why it's freezing ? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | oops | 10:52 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: Take it that was meant for me? Nop, I assume because it's too resource heavy for my pc | 10:52 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: have you any idea why it's freezong | 10:52 |
| rebourn | what is "pae" | 10:53 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, lets not assume anything, lets work it through (glad you explained the problem - try to explain the real issue than guessing at a fix) | 10:53 |
| Anomie21 | but I dont have problems with any other apps | 10:53 |
| ikonia | rebourn: extended memeory support in 32bit kernels | 10:53 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, so what makes you think it's lack of resources (I'm assuming you've done some research on this) | 10:53 |
| Ngevd | I'm a bit annoyed | 10:54 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: Because when I was making the movie I had to move things slowly or it would freeze | 10:54 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, so lets step back, do you have time to run some tests with me ? | 10:54 |
| Anomie21 | yeah sure | 10:54 |
| Ngevd | Because 12.04 doesn't seem to have the driver for my laptop's touchpad | 10:54 |
| Ngevd | But everything worked brilliantly when I booted from USB? | 10:54 |
| === Gary_ is now known as Gary | ||
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, tell me a little about your machine, how much ram do you have ? | 10:55 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: 2GB ram, 2GB swap | 10:55 |
| Ngevd | Hang on, idea | 10:55 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, so that's pretty "solid" in terms of spec | 10:56 |
| Anomie21 | 68.8% of RAM is being used, 45% of my CPU | 10:56 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: can you open a terminal window please ? | 10:56 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: yep | 10:56 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, I'd like you to close everything apart from your video encoding app and the terminal window, can you do that please ? | 10:56 |
| OriginalYankster | ikonia: thanks for sticking with me on this! I'm not sure what you mean by hardware platform... could you elaborate for a lesser technical dude? =P | 10:56 |
| ikonia | OriginalYankster: "what type of machine are you trying to install ubuntu onto " | 10:57 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: what about my IRC app? :P | 10:57 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ahhh, you're using that PC for irc too, ok, leave that open | 10:57 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: I'm assuming if this freezes you'll reboot and re-join | 10:57 |
| Anomie21 | okay, I've closed all chats but this one | 10:57 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: do you have a "numlock" and/or "capslock" light on your keyboard ? | 10:58 |
| Anomie21 | yep | 10:58 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: can you confirm both/either work now | 10:58 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: eg: turn them on/off | 10:58 |
| Anomie21 | yep they both work | 10:58 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: great, ok, so in a minute we are going to run a test encode on your video | 10:58 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: I'm going to give you some information to note down first though, incase this machine freezes | 10:59 |
| Anomie21 | k | 10:59 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: in the terminal window can you please top "top" | 10:59 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: you should get a resource monitor | 10:59 |
| OriginalYankster | ikonia: ah... It's a home built, no specific model... Stationary cabinet w/ Asus p5q pro motherboard, Sapphire Radeon grahpics and 8gb ram | 10:59 |
| ikonia | OriginalYankster: ok, but it's an "x86" or "intel" style computer, not the mac platform | 10:59 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: yep | 10:59 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: great, take a quick look at that top output now, (ignore the ram for the moment) does it look "generic" as in nothing is eating your resources now ? | 11:00 |
| OriginalYankster | ikonia: intel, not a mac platform | 11:00 |
| Anomie21 | Yep, only unusual thing is 'python' using 22.3% of my RAM - is that the video encoding? | 11:00 |
| ikonia | OriginalYankster: ok, is there a reason you're not just doing a standard install from CD | 11:00 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: are you encoding a video now ? | 11:01 |
| mafiaboy | any one know how to install aircrack-ng in ubuntu 12.04 | 11:01 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: It says 'Rendering - Estimating time' (has done for the past 20min) not sure if it's actually doing anything | 11:01 |
| segakanon | hi, all | 11:01 |
| possible1994 | I cannot install 12.04. The last message on the screen when trying to boot it is "panic occured, returning to console" I have tried failsafe, alternate install, and USB install | 11:02 |
| possible1994 | same result every time | 11:02 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok - give me 2 minutes, just need to pop away from my desk for a moment | 11:02 |
| LjL | mafiaboy: like all other software, by using Software Center, apt-get or Synaptic | 11:02 |
| possible1994 | How do I install 12.04 when every time the kernel is "tainted" | 11:03 |
| mafiaboy | i think it's not included in this release | 11:03 |
| mafiaboy | LjL | 11:03 |
| LjL | mafiaboy: yes it is, i've just checked on my computer | 11:03 |

| DX099 | auronandace, http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, you still there | 11:05 |
| gaston_ | it seems raw1394 is not used anymore by 12.04 | 11:05 |
| LjL | auronandace: nah. mafiaboy, i do seem to have an Oneiric repository enabled for some reason though, so it must be that. | 11:05 |
| auronandace | DX099: thanks for the link but i don't need it | 11:05 |
| DX099 | ah | 11:05 |
| gaston_ | so i tried other solutions, went through several tutos and forums, couldn't find a solution | 11:05 |
| gaston_ | would really appreciate some help | 11:06 |

| semen | Hi! I have troubles with laptop LCD brightness control under Xubuntu 12.04. Can anybody help? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: not a problem | 11:06 |
| DX099 | mafiaboy, http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz ? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, in top, the far left there is a PID colomn, I'd like you to "kill -11 $PID" in another terminal | 11:06 |
| Anomie21 | mglasgow@mglasgow-HP-Compaq-dx7500-Microtower:~$ kill -11 $PID | 11:07 |
| Anomie21 | kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec] | 11:07 |
| auronandace | ikonia: -11? whats that do? | 11:07 |
| OriginalYankster | ikonia: yes, the machine has no optic drive =P i've already created the USB AND had it successfully boot into Ubuntu on my PC with no OS - then realizing I forgot to connect my HDD to it's SATA port. Powered down, plugged in HDD, now all I get "isolinux.bin missing or corrupt".. *scratches head* | 11:07 |

| === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ | ||
| ikonia | OriginalYankster: plugging in your hard disk has probably changed the order of your disks in the bios | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: sorry replace $PID with the PID number (in top) of the python process | 11:09 |
| auronandace | ikonia: i've seen kill -9 but not kill -11, whats the difference? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | auronandace: graceful | 11:09 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: Ah, I see. Done. it appears to have quit pitivi | 11:10 |
| gaston_ | hi guys, i'm trying to use an external video aquisition card, but it won't work. anyone familiar with that? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: that's good | 11:10 |
| auronandace | ikonia: cool, thanks for the info | 11:10 |
| rtp2342 | auronandace: -11 is SIGSEGV, so it simulates a segmentation fault in the target process | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, what I'd like you to do, is open the encoding application and run an encode | 11:10 |
| auronandace | rtp2342: ah, neat | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: keep an eye on your resources in the top window, you should seem them get used quite agressivly (which is good) | 11:10 |
| mafiaboy | thanx ....i will try compiling it | 11:11 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: if you have any concerns if your machine has hung, tap capslock/numlock, if the light responds, it's still "ok" | 11:11 |
| TvL2386 | Hi guys, I'm running ubuntu12.04 with a HP NC550SFP 10G NIC (Emulex OneConnect) and I'm experiencing packet drops/overruns. Traffic going through is 140MBIT/~40000 p/s and I experience about 1 overrun every 2 seconds. I think it's an issue with the be2net driver (another machine running 10.04 on myricom 10G nics has 10 times the load and drops/overruns nothing) Anybody here got any idea or experiences the same? | 11:12 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: keep an eye on the "swap" section in top, the total and the used column | 11:12 |
| OriginalYankster | ikonia: have tried formatting USB and starting over, as well as played wildly boot priority/device emulation and still nothing... leaning towards tip from <Wipster> that USB is screwed... | 11:12 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: if the total and used column are the same number (eg: you've used all available swap) your machine is running low on resources | 11:12 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: Seems like there is plenty of swap, RAM, and CPU | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, start an encode and see what happens | 11:13 |
| Anomie21 | but it's still running at a snails pace :( | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: interesting, so you know you're not shy on resources then | 11:13 |
| ikonia | OriginalYankster: unplug your disk and try to boot the USB disk, does it still work again ? | 11:13 |
| gaston_ | auronandace, i see you're still online, maybe you have a quick fix for me ^^ | 11:15 |

| gaston_ | auronandace, i'm trying to install a driver for a external video aquisition connected through firewire | 11:17 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: Anything else I can do? Just leave it for a few hours and see it works? | 11:17 |
| apctr | gaston_: Ya i'm using 9.10...becoz i have created a local repository for that one... | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: let it run, lets see what happens | 11:17 |
| auronandace | gaston_: i have no experience with firewire | 11:17 |
| gaston_ | i see that raw1394 and such are not used anymore in 12.04? | 11:17 |
| gaston_ | auronandace, oh then forget it, thanks anyways :) | 11:18 |
| Anomie21 | Time to investigate online photo slideshow makers :P | 11:18 |
| rtp2342 | gaston_: raw1394 belongs to the old firewire stack and is deprecated | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: you'll need to let one run as a benchmark to see if we can improve it | 11:18 |
| Wipster | The ubuntu 12.04 server i386 I have on a usb keeps failing its md5 check on ./install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default, I have checked the md5 of the iso and its correct and I have used two different usb's. is there a known problem with the current server image? | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: out of interest, how big is this movie encode ? | 11:18 |
| gaston_ | rtp2342, so what do i need to do to use my video card? | 11:19 |
| rtp2342 | gaston_: i don't know if there is a replacement for raw1394 in the new stack | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Wipster: why is a usb key looking at a pxe config ? | 11:19 |
| gaston_ | rtp2342, i don't really need a replacement, i just need to be able to grab from my cam ;) | 11:19 |
| rtp2342 | gaston_: never had any devices requiring raw firewire access | 11:19 |
| Wipster | ikonia, doing a disk self check before I attempt to install | 11:19 |
| gaston_ | i'm on a canopus avdc100, | 11:20 |
| rtp2342 | gaston_: the only firewire device i ever worked with was my old external hard disk | 11:20 |
| stangri | I need some help with problems after upgrading my server from 10.04 to 12.04, is there anyone who can help me troubleshoot these? | 11:20 |
| gaston_ | rtp2342, but as far as I know, all video grabbers are firewire, no? | 11:20 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: Not sure, 33 .TIFFs at about 500MB going in, not sure whatll that be once its converted | 11:20 |
| OriginalYankster | ikonia: i'll be darned.. Nope, doesn't work. USB skrewd? | 11:20 |
| ikonia | OriginalYankster: it certainly sounds that way | 11:20 |
| rtp2342 | gaston_: sorry, no experience with video grabbers | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Anomie21: ok, just trying to get an idea of the size | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Wipster: ok, so don't worry about pxeconfig as your not using pxe | 11:21 |
| gaston_ | rtp2342, easy, i'll keep looking and ask again ;) | 11:21 |
| Anomie21 | ikonia: http://www.photosnack.com/ <-- Looks like a lot easier solution :P | 11:21 |
| stangri | first of all, the asterisk.org has no binary packages for 12.04 so I'm stuck with the reference to oneiric in sources.list | 11:21 |
| stangri | should I just remove this reference? | 11:21 |
| Wipster | ikonia, as the self check fails on that package how do I know the rest is fine? Will this problem be corrected in the next ico packing? | 11:22 |
| Wipster | *iso | 11:22 |
| ikonia | Wipster: no idea what you're talking about "next iso packaging", if the iso verify's the md5sum you should be fine | 11:22 |
| skulltip | morning, should I install a fresh 12.04 or upgrade? any difference? | 11:22 |
| rtp2342 | gaston_: from the help text of the new firewire stack: "the module will be called firewire-core. This module functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394. To access it from application programs, you generally need at least libraw1394 v2." | 11:22 |
| Wipster | ikonia, but it fails its self test which is worrying | 11:23 |
| rtp2342 | gaston_: so i guess your framegrabbing app has to support libraw1394 v2. | 11:23 |
| zvacet | skulltip:you will end up with same result | 11:23 |
| auronandace | skulltip: more can go wrong with an upgrade (especially if you use ppas) | 11:23 |
| edgy | Hi, I installed squid but it's listening on tcp6 only, what can I do to fix this? | 11:23 |
| ikonia | Wipster: depends what that self test is checking for, you're using the netboot option, I'm not sure how well that CD is put tgother | 11:23 |
| gaston_ | rtp2342, hm i think i have it, but let me try again | 11:23 |
| skulltip | ok thanks auronandace and zvacet | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Wipster: either way, you're not using the pxeboot stuff, so you shouldn't have a problem | 11:24 |
| ikonia | edgy: change the config to include ipv4 options | 11:24 |
| ikonia | edgy: how did you install squid | 11:24 |
| Wipster | ikonia, ok cheers, shall just go for it then | 11:24 |

| Jbarcus81 | Good day! | 11:42 |
| Jbarcus81 | Question.. Long time Ubuntu user, first time putting it on my laptop by Asus... I can't get the power settings to extend my battery life at all.. I can get about 5 hours if not more on Windows .. but Ubuntu drains it in about an hour or less.. what gives?? | 11:44 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, what version of ubuntu? | 11:45 |
| Jbarcus81 | 12.04 x64 | 11:46 |
| Dr_willis | You have one of those dual-gpu optimus laptops? | 11:46 |
| Jbarcus81 | It has an Intel Core i-5 | 11:47 |
| Jbarcus81 | But Intel HD 3000 Graphics | 11:47 |
| Dr_willis | well that elimimtes the only idea i have on whats sucking the battery. | 11:47 |
| Jbarcus81 | lol... I have no idea.. I have it set to suspend when I close the lid.. .It seems to start to do this but locks up and I have to power down and back on to get it back.. | 11:48 |
| idodeisuke | What's new in 12.04 except some changes in this horrible Unity UI? | 11:49 |
| idodeisuke | And some new default apps...? | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | Unity works very well. | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | its Hud feature is very nice. there has also been battery/power optimzations. | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | the webupd8 blog site and omgubuntu site have summaries of the new featutres. | 11:50 |
| idodeisuke | @Dr_willis oh cool will it eat less battery power? COOL!! | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | idodeisuke, from what ive read the 'bugs' with the older releases and their power manager has been fixed. but aparently some people still have issues. | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | Ive not noticed much differance on my netbook | 11:51 |
| Jbarcus81 | idodeisuke, about battery life? I'm not so sure... My laptop still locks up when I close the lid.. | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, how old is that laptop anyway? | 11:51 |
| Jbarcus81 | I bought it in February ... | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, ive often found that 'very new' laptops tend to be more problematic, untill the next release of ubuntu comes out. ie: one i bought right NOW may have issues that may get fixed with the next 6 mo release. | 11:53 |
| Dr_willis | often its kernel bugs/fix's that are the main cause/cure. | 11:53 |
| idodeisuke | Well, my laptop now is a real antique piece of ****, my normal laptop has gone missing ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;-((((((((((((((((((((( | 11:53 |
| guest1999 | hello there | 11:53 |
| idodeisuke | @guest1999 hello | 11:54 |
| guest1999 | i need help (please) with compiling | 11:54 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/246432/expect_longer_battery_life_with_ubuntu_linux_1204_precise_pangolin.html | 11:54 |
| Dr_willis | !compile | 11:54 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 11:54 |
| guest1999 | im compiling a fortran lib & i am getting a warning in regard of zlib | 11:54 |
| MorganJarl | After trying to change my home folder to a separate partition and upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 at the same time I can't log in to my user anymore, I have to use the guest log in. It seems something went wrong with the mounting of the partition or something. When ever I log in (with the right password - If I use the wrong one the login complains) I end up on the login page again. I can't SUDO as guest so I cant get to my f | 11:54 |
| MorganJarl | iles to change what ever went wrong. I used this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving Now I can't reinstal 11.10 - it doesn't want to boot from the cd nor the usb stick. I have a brand new Dell Inspiron N411Z | 11:54 |
| Wipster | ikonia, apparently there is a problem with the base-packages the installer fails | 11:54 |
| jrib | guest1999: what fortran lib? | 11:54 |
| Jbarcus81 | I just wonder if it's kernel based issues ... Ubuntu isn't the only Distro I have issues with on this laptop... | 11:54 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, for your power issues you may want to check -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagement | 11:55 |
| guest1999 | Muesli: people.irisa.fr/Edouard.Canot/muesli/ | 11:55 |
| Taneb | I messed up installing, now when I turn my laptop on I get "grub rescue". Any advice? | 11:55 |
| Jbarcus81 | Dr_willis, on my way!! | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, if nothing else.. you can at least file some bug reports. so hopefully it gets fixed/looked at for the next rel4ease | 11:55 |
| Wipster | ikonia, this is with the standard ubuntu-12.04-server-i386 image | 11:55 |
| kmels | - hello, i have added a second monitor that xrandr doesn't detect, but it shows an ubuntu image, where should I look further? | 11:55 |
| idodeisuke | Does Xubuntu also have all these power mgmt advantages without this horrid ui? | 11:55 |
| guest1999 | i compiled it successfully on 12.04 but im getting the warning on 11.10 | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | !fixgrub | Taneb | 11:55 |
| ubottu | Taneb: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 11:55 |
| Jbarcus81 | Dr_willis, definitely can do that.. | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | idodeisuke, enough with the ranting about the ui. and yes. all the ubuntu variants should have the same underlaying features. | 11:56 |
| Sidewinder | Taneb, Back-up, if needed and re-install? | 11:56 |
| guest1999 | idodeisuke: getting this:Warning: you don't have the zlib library! -> data compression in file I/O will not be available, therefore, please consider installing 'zlib'. (for Fedora distrib., install the 'zlib-devel' package) | 11:56 |
| Taneb | Sidewinder: how do I find the things to back up? | 11:56 |
| Taneb | Nevermind, found them | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | guest1999, install the zlib and zlib-dev packages yet? | 11:57 |
| idodeisuke | @Dr_willis thx and OK I will stop ranting about the UI... Reluctantly >:D | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | people complain no matter what.. so its pointless and not the point of this channel in any case. | 11:57 |
| guest1999 | Dr_willis: i already install zlib1g-dev | 11:57 |
| * Dr_willis Hugs the 12.04 Hud. | 11:57 | |
| guest1999 | as i did on 12.04 | 11:57 |
| gaston_ | hm still not working... Anyone used firewire video card on 12.04? | 11:58 |
| Dr_willis | go shotgun on installing anything with zlib in its name. :) perhaps it wants some older version of the lib | 11:58 |
| Sidewinder | Taneb, Well, usually in /home, perhaps some user settings; but if it's a new install, I wouldn't suspect that there's much to back up. | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | a firewire video card? it displays video? Captures? | 11:59 |
| * idodeisuke empties a Tavor cartridge into the 12.04 hud :P | 11:59 | |
| DeltaHeavy | Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 in GNOME fallback mode and whenever I open Nautalis, I get the "Opening <folder name>", which lingers for quite a while (under a minute still) even though I can use Nautalis to it's full ability and appears to be fully loaded. Anybody know how to get rid of this problem? | 11:59 |
| Jbarcus81 | One last question before I go and it's something I've been wondering for some time.. I know Ubuntu=Gnome, Kubuntu=KDE... What is Xbuntu?? | 11:59 |
| DeltaHeavy | Jbarcus81: XFCE | 11:59 |
| gaston_ | Dr_willis, captures | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, XFCE and Lubuntu = Lxde | 11:59 |
| gaston_ | Dr_willis, camera plugged on one side, computer on the other, via firewire | 11:59 |
| Jbarcus81 | Is there any benefit to using one distro over the other? | 11:59 |
| guest1999 | Dr_willis: it requires 1.2 | 12:00 |
| MorganJarl | anyone have any idea what I could do to fix my files? I don't seam to be able too boot from the live cd... | 12:00 |
| guest1999 | Dr_willis: manual says: ZLIB_1_2 must be assigned to a directory containing the zlib-1.2 library; it should be /usr/lib. | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | gaston_, Hmm. been ages since i used one. last camcorder i had with firewire it actually accessed it as if it was a hard drive.. :) | 12:00 |
| guest1999 | on 12.04 it was auto detected | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, you could install all the desktops on the same install if you wanted. | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, for low end machines/old skool type interfaces/ i tend to use Lubuntu. | 12:01 |
| gaston_ | Dr_willis, act it send Composite to the card, which then is plugged by firewire to the laptop | 12:01 |
| guest1999 | Dr_willis: I am using the configure: ./configure --f90=gfortran --blas=/usr/lib/ --lapack=/usr/lib/lapack/ | 12:01 |
| DeltaHeavy | Jbarcus81: When it comes to Desktop interfaces it's mostly preferance. Some are more lightweight than others so if you're using a pretty old machine, I'd suggest XFCE, and if you have something even older like a pentium II, LXDE is more lightweight. You can however install any number of Desktop enviroments and switch between them freely but then you have applications that make use of KDE mixed in with GNOME and it can get annoying. | 12:01 |
| guest1999 | & getting the warning mentioned before | 12:01 |
| profanephobia | I am needing to create an SMTP server on my Ubuntu box that listens on a port and saves all incoming messages to a directory. From there it needs to release any lock on the file. can anyone point me in the right direction | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | guest1999, you may want to change to a better nick.. and you DID set the ZLIB_1_2 enviroment variable? thats how i read wht those docs you pasted said. | 12:02 |
| Jbarcus81 | Interesting.. I have an Asus with a core i-5 so performance isn't a concern... but I've always wanted to try Xbuntu ... is there a trick to this? Will Google give me some good results on how to do this so ya'll don't have to go into it?? | 12:02 |
| CRM114 | just upgraded to 12.04 and I have font problems in Konsole | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and poof - you got both on the same install. | 12:02 |
| Jbarcus81 | Well bam! | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, removeing it.. can be trickier. :) or test a xubuntu live cd first... | 12:03 |
| CRM114 | it looks like freemono is not really monospace | 12:03 |
| DeltaHeavy | Jbarcus81: If I recall correctly XFCE uses GTK+ just like GNOME so if you installed XFCE in a plain Ubuntu install you shouldn't run into many of the headaches I mentioned before ealier. You can install it with apt-get | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | makes the song and dances you got to do on windows to get alternative 'shells' seem redicilous. ;) | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | Does lubuntu use gtk? I never noticed.. i think it may for some apps.. | 12:04 |
| Jbarcus81 | I'll give it a shot! Thanks.. | 12:04 |
| DeltaHeavy | idk if LXDE uses GTK+. GTK+ does seem to be leading the pack though. | 12:04 |
| Dr_willis | gtk+ is used by so many things :) i imagine lubuntu uses it for somthing. | 12:04 |
| bodom | Does anybody if sysctl.conf is applied after /etc/ini.t/networking start in ubuntu? | 12:04 |
| guest1999 | Dr_willis: on 12.04 (amd64) it was auto detected | 12:04 |
| DeltaHeavy | Jbarcus81: Just playing around with a live CD should suffice if you just wanna try it out. Whole point of live CDs | 12:04 |
| bodom | *knows | 12:04 |
| MorganJarl | How do I boot in safe mode with 12.04? | 12:05 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, neat trick 101 - set up grub2 to boot live cds from your hard drive.. :) makes testing out new disrtos fun and faster. | 12:05 |
| shinichi | is DarwinSurvivor here? | 12:05 |
| Jbarcus81 | Nice tip!! Never would have thought of that Dr_willis !! | 12:05 |
| Jbarcus81 | DeltaHeavy, definitely.. | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | Jbarcus81, my /boot/ partion has several ISOS - i can install 12.04 from that /boot/ partion for a VERY fast install. | 12:06 |

| gaston_ | Dr_willis, yep, been on it for the past 5 hours :D | 12:09 |
| chrowe_ | any have an idea why I can't get my NTFS USB drives to stop auto mounting using gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount False | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | MorganJarl, you get to the login/lightdm screen and what happens exactly? | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | chrowe_, what release of ubuntu? | 12:09 |
| shinichi | Dr_willis, sir can you help me about ubuntu 12.04? | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | shinichi, tell the channel the problem and see who can help/knows... | 12:10 |
| chrowe_ | Dr_willis: 11.10 | 12:10 |
| MorganJarl | Dr_willis, I have set my user to log in automatically, but it stops at the log in anyway. So I type in teh pasword, the skreen goes black for half a second (showing some text that I have no time to read) and tehn I am back at the login again. | 12:10 |
| chrowe_ | and I am running nautilus for my file manager | 12:11 |
| Dr_willis | MorganJarl, go to the console, stop lightdm, (sudo service lightdm stop) and try 'startx' and look for error messages. you could also try making a new user and see if the same issue happens to them. | 12:11 |
| MorganJarl | Dr_willis, problem is I can only log in as guest so I have no SUDO rights. | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | chrowe_, i alwyas used the 'ntfs-config' tool (had to install it) to set/tweak my ntfs mounting options. I thought 11.10+ used dconf, not gconf also... | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | MorganJarl, at the console you cant login? | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | MorganJarl, alt-ctrl-f1 = console. :) | 12:12 |
| DeltaHeavy | MorganJarl: Or even better use 'su <username>' | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | MorganJarl, there is a known issue in 12.04 where users cant login via lightdm, but guest can.. (i just installed gdm and i can login with it) | 12:13 |
| DeltaHeavy | 'su - <username>' would be better as it would run that users personal login bash scripts | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | Not sure if that lightdm issue has been fixed yet or not.. never heard much about it other then 'it dont work for me, so i use gdm' ;) | 12:14 |

| DeltaHeavy | If you can't log into the GUI you can still switch users in the terminal. It would blow my mind if you couldn't | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | DeltaHeavy, which is why i think he may be having that lightdm issue.. | 12:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | Can he really not switch users with 'su' in lightdm? | 12:15 |
| shinichi | ok, erm, i've installed ubuntu 12.04 on a partitioned external hard drive yesterday, after install, ubuntu doesn't boot up and only a black screen greeted me..,but when i boot up my windows 7 it boots up normally..so i tried searching the net for solutions and what i used is easyBCD instead of grub2 which i think has a problem..,anyway, when i choose ubuntu it loads and then gets stuck at the line "starting cmain()...", i tried waiting but nothing hap | 12:15 |

| DeltaHeavy | That doesn't sound like it would effect 'su' though. It sounds like it's a bug in the GUI app. | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | shinichi, i run my ubuntu system totally from external usbs befor without needing easybcd. I just have to tell the pc to boot the usb. and a black screen could be a 'nomodeset' type issue. | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | shinichi, do you see the grub menu when you boot the external disk? | 12:17 |
| shinichi | how could i fix it then? | 12:17 |
| Dr_willis | DeltaHeavy, thats why i asked if he could login to the console.. but he never replied... | 12:17 |
| shinichi | err, no, only black screen | 12:17 |
| Dr_willis | shinichi, it try the fixgrub factoid tips and seeif you can get grub installed to the usb. it may be it just failed to install right. | 12:17 |
| DeltaHeavy | Dr_willis: I was just saying 'su' would probably be easier for him especially if he wants to seek more advice from us. That's all. | 12:18 |

| ubottu | axz: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 12:34 |
| fidel | axz: i like webupd8.org for theme-specific news&ppa's | 12:34 |
| fidel | if that helps | 12:35 |
| axz | thanks guys | 12:35 |
| mafiaboy | but for that i think gnome-tweak-tool is needed | 12:35 |
| rsergio | alguien sabe como como ver macros de excel de windows en ubuntu | 12:35 |
| MonkeyDust | !es| rsergio | 12:35 |
| ubottu | rsergio: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 12:35 |
| mafiaboy | is there a wway to install icon theme without gnome tweak tool | 12:36 |
| MrUnagi | how can i run a bash script at boot as root? | 12:36 |
| ZuLLy | im not so sure about this unity business | 12:36 |
| MonkeyDust | mafiaboy maybe add the icons to the hidden folder ~/.icons -- havent tried it, tho | 12:36 |
| fidel | !notunity | 12:36 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:36 |
| mafiaboy | i tried it but after that what to do :MonkeyDust | 12:37 |
| fidel | mafiaboy: the pure install doenst need gnome-tweak-tool | 12:37 |
| MonkeyDust | ZuLLy you're free to not use it, like myself | 12:37 |
| MrUnagi | !upstart | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 12:37 |
| mafiaboy | yea but if i need to change icon theme then | 12:37 |
| mafiaboy | fiedl | 12:38 |
| mafiaboy | fidel | 12:38 |
| fidel | mafiaboy: and where is the issue using gnome-tweak-tool? | 12:38 |
| DeltaHeavy | Anybody else find GNOME 2 fallback mode total trash? | 12:38 |
| fidel | just curious - or any problems? | 12:38 |
| MonkeyDust | DeltaHeavy i'm happy with it, thank you | 12:38 |
| mafiaboy | i used it for quite a long time in gnome 3.2 and it was good .....DeltaHeavy | 12:39 |
| DeltaHeavy | MonkeyDust: Whenever I open nautalis "Opening blah blah" hangs for like a minute and a half even though I've already went like 8 directories deep, opened a file and started editing it. | 12:39 |
| DeltaHeavy | And it doesn't seem too smooth | 12:39 |
| axz | wow gimp 2.8 is damn sexy | 12:39 |
| fidel | gui's are never sexy ;) | 12:39 |
| mafiaboy | issue is that i have to install gnome-shell too and i just hate gnome-shell::fidel | 12:39 |
| DeltaHeavy | fidel: At least in Linux lol | 12:40 |
| fidel | DeltaHeavy: no - its software..software cant look sexy | 12:40 |
| MonkeyDust | DeltaHeavy maybe try to reduce the number of sub-directories, 8 does not sound healthy to me | 12:40 |
| alankila | did gimp 2.8 get the improved internal representations already, or is it still something for the future? I mean, each channel as 32-bit floating point value | 12:40 |
| DeltaHeavy | fidel: I found GNOME 2 to be far more usable than GNOME 2 fallback mode | 12:40 |
| MrUnagi | !runlevel | 12:40 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 12:40 |
| axz | <fidel> gui's are never sexy ;) < photo editing program without GUI?! wow channeling | 12:40 |
| Duality | wylde, works! thanks :) | 12:40 |
| DeltaHeavy | MonkeyDust: It's a local version of a website. I don't know how you think 8 sub directories isn't healthy or why it should effect that. | 12:41 |
| axz | Anyhow guys does anyone know how to move system trys to top bar?! | 12:41 |
| fidel | axz: talking about the word "sexy" - so replace gui with SOFTWARE ;) | 12:41 |
| axz | in Gnome shell | 12:41 |
| axz | oh yeah agree with that fidel | 12:41 |
| axz | i want to move xchat to top bar | 12:41 |
| DeltaHeavy | fidel: I'm just saying compared to Windows and Mac Linux is pretty far behind in the world of GUI. | 12:41 |
| MonkeyDust | DeltaHeavy you may want to try something else, instead of fallback mode | 12:41 |
| fidel | DeltaHeavy: thats pretty personal isnt it - and somehow way offtopic aswell ;) | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | DeltaHeavy i guess your comments are more for #ubuntu-offtopic, as this is the support channel | 12:42 |
| DeltaHeavy | fidel: I don't know how expressing my dislike of Linux's GUI enviroments is personal lol | 12:42 |

| MarKsaitis | HELP pls | 12:43 |
| MrUnagi | how do i run a bash script on boot as root? | 12:43 |
| DeltaHeavy | MonkeyDust: I actually came here to ask how to stop that Nautalis thing originally. | 12:43 |
| DeltaHeavy | Anybody know? | 12:43 |
| fidel | for sure - was just trying to get the focus back on the channels main-topic DeltaHeavy | 12:43 |
| profanephobia | can i configure an SMTP server to accept all incoming messages and just save them to a directory and that is it? | 12:44 |
| DeltaHeavy | Is there GUI that feels like GNOME 2 or is meant to be a clone of GNOME 2 but runs on GDM3? | 12:45 |
| fidel | DeltaHeavy: not 1:1 a clone - but ever considered xfce? | 12:45 |
| MonkeyDust | DeltaHeavy maybe this link helps http://www.tuxarena.com/2011/06/20-file-managers-for-ubuntu/ | 12:45 |
| ffiene | Someone else with a segfaulting Apache in glibc when SSL is enabled? | 12:45 |

| Anomie21 | Whats the easiest way to burn a .SWF onto a CD playable on a DVD player/ | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | Anomie21, use a app like devede to convert it to proper format.. and make a burnable iso image | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | assuming you can convert a swf to an avi.. arent swf like shockwave games? ;) | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Anomie21 devede can handle any format, it's in the repos | 12:55 |
| ffiene | So once again and complete: I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with Zend CE Server and after a2enmod ssl and configuring the ssl-config, the server crashes during Apache restart with apache2[13708]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f2f54435626 sp 00007fff12822a88 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[7f2f54305000+1b3000]. Any idea? | 12:55 |
| bubuz | hi guys - i need to edit a load of config files with different hosts in them. I dont want to do manually so i want to script it. could I used sed to change the hostname mentioned several times in the config file to a different hostname and save this to a new config file? Using sed I can only get it to create the new config file with the ammended lines - not the entire config file.... any ideas? | 12:55 |
| ffiene | After a2dismod ssl, the server is working fine after start! | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | bubuz, awk may be a better tool. | 12:56 |
| figo | haha | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | bubuz, thers also sites with 1000's of sed examples. could be theres some way to make sed print out all the lines. but i dont sed enough. | 12:57 |
| Anomie21 | MonkeyDust: It can't handle .swf by the looks of it | 12:57 |
| Anomie21 | "File doesn't seem to be a video file" | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis | use some other tool to convert the swf to avi. then devede can handle it. | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.fanhow.com/knowhow:Convert_SWF_to_AVI_Online_22612062 | 12:58 |

| Pici | gulzar: It sounds like you're making recursive symlinks. Remember that you should be using ln -s TARGET LINKNAME | 13:13 |
| gulzar | Pici: syntax is {{ ln -s <source> <destination ]] right? | 13:14 |
| === nW44b_ is now known as nW44b | ||

| tyler_d | MonkeyDust: I just outlined that I don't want it removed from startup apps, I simply want to know how to stop it when required | 13:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Fraz: Sounds like, at start-up you need to hold the Shift key down to get to the GRUB bootloader menu, and try one of the recovery kernels | 13:30 |
| tyler_d | :p | 13:30 |
| Abhijit | MonkeyDust, how will he get it back on startup if he removes it from startup? | 13:30 |
| Mion | xskydevilx: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports etc | 13:30 |
| MonkeyDust | tyler_d Abhijit not sure what you want: you want it to come back, but you don't want it to come back | 13:31 |
| xskydevilx | Mion, No luck so far. Can't I just get a generic kernel and upgrade it manually? | 13:31 |

| xskydevilx | IntuitiveNipple, So, in a nutshell, I would just download stuff from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and upgrade it for Natty. | 13:34 |
| as001 | i can see it in lsusb as: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1bbb:000 T & A Mobile Phones | 13:35 |
| as001 | but I can't see it under Network Connections and I can't configure anything | 13:35 |
| tyler_d | does anyone know how to stop the NetworkManager from a terminal please? | 13:36 |
| xskydevilx | IntuitiveNipple, But, I mean, um.. A precise kernel would technically work on Natty, wouldn't it? | 13:36 |

| auronandace | chiliblue: what image? 11.10 upwards should work | 13:43 |
| auronandace | chiliblue: but it needs to be done in a root terminal | 13:43 |
| Mion | xskydevilx: oc'ed gxt460 | 13:44 |
| chiliblue | auronandace, how would I ge a root terminal | 13:44 |
| as001 | I thought more devices will work in 12.04 and it looks like some devices which worked on 11.10 does not work on 12.04... | 13:44 |
| chiliblue | it is 10.10 the imgis of a dos6.22 boot disc | 13:44 |
| chiliblue | auronandace, 11.10 sorry typo | 13:45 |
| auronandace | chiliblue: sudo -i | 13:45 |
| auronandace | chiliblue: please be careful | 13:45 |
| xskydevilx | Mion, And there's no flickering or anything? I have a gtx 690, and it seemed to be unstable as hell on Precise. | 13:45 |
| Mion | works fine | 13:45 |
| MonkeyDust | auronandace ouch, sudo -i is a no-no in this channel | 13:45 |
| Mion | pft, sudo -i is just fine | 13:46 |
| ph071 | hi | 13:46 |
| Mion | just C-d then done | 13:46 |
| auronandace | MonkeyDust: i thought sudo su is wrong, sudo -i is proper | 13:46 |
| ph071 | i am looking for where bash stores error prompts | 13:46 |
| chiliblue | auronandace, well it got me what I needed so no complaints here | 13:47 |
| ph071 | i want to modifiy something in the prompt | 13:47 |
| xskydevilx | Also I remember EA releasing something in the Software Centre. Will that also be available for older releases like Natty? | 13:47 |
| chiliblue | auronandace, I am carefull, I come from days before all this sudo stuff. | 13:47 |
| ph071 | that when i run a command and if it cant find it instead of prompting me that there is no command i want it to do something else | 13:48 |
| Mion | xskydevilx: those two games are just silly browser/js stuff anyway so you can easily grab them by hand | 13:48 |
| auronandace | chiliblue: it is very rare to need a root terminal | 13:48 |
| vp18 | help having trouble with conky | 13:48 |
| xskydevilx | Well that is silly. | 13:48 |
| Mion | xskydevilx: indeed | 13:48 |
| Mion | xskydevilx: it's really just a publicity stunt by EA | 13:49 |
| xskydevilx | Mion, Could be. | 13:49 |
| Mion | they didn't really do _anything_, they just wrapped them in a .deb | 13:49 |
| ph071 | does anyone have knowleage on how i might find this | 13:49 |
| xskydevilx | Mion, Granted if it were my favourite EA game "The Sims 3", that would really be something. But a shortcut to a browser game? Come on.. | 13:49 |

| mykhas | hi all. can I get a help here? | 13:53 |
| szal | !ask | mykhas | 13:53 |
| ubottu | mykhas: 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 | 13:53 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_willis: Nope, they're just missing. It's very strange. | 13:53 |
| POQDavid | Dr_willis: i did it didn't work | 13:53 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_willis: And Quadrapassel is formatted oddly. The playing area of the game only takes up a small subsection of where it's supposed to. | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | Yerushalmi, could be those games dont play nicely with the global menu. theres some way to disable it on a per app basis. Saw mention of that at the webupd8 blog site. | 13:53 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_willis: I'm using gnome-shell. No global menu (thank god). | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | Yerushalmi, you are on your own then i guess.. | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | Yerushalmi, try a minimal window manager like icewm, and see if theres issues with the games in it. | 13:54 |
| gaston_ | how can i install kernel 3.2.6 ? | 13:55 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_willis: Hehe, okay, I'll look into it. | 13:55 |
| POQDavid | Dr_willis: do i have to do some thing so that command work? | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | POQDavid, i normally just am sure to give it the right options for where root and boot is at.. | 13:55 |
| gaston_ | how can i install kernel 3.2.6 ? | 13:56 |

| Dr_willis | POQDavid, use grub-install --help to see wht options it can take. | 13:57 |
| xskydevilx | Alright folks, I just upgraded to the new 3.5.5 kernel on Natty. The problem is.. | 13:57 |
| chiliblue | ok not entirely ubuntu related but, anyone know of a dos boot floppy image that supports fat32? | 13:57 |
| POQDavid | Dr_willis: it says there is no such a command | 13:57 |
| xskydevilx | I get to the login screen, and when I press ENTER it turns off the monitor, | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | chiliblue, dr-dos or was it freedos may have it. | 13:57 |

| mykhas | so, I install on my Acer Aspire 5368 Ubuntu 12.10, and I have only 2 default display solutions, 1024x768 as biggest, and I need 1368x768. how can I fix it? I have tried to create and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but both times I should need to recover my system | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | POQDavid, how were you runnin grub-install befor then? | 13:58 |
| POQDavid | Dr_willis: never did | 13:58 |
| POQDavid | POQDavid: but | 13:58 |
| xskydevilx | Do I need to install some proprietary nonsense now? | 13:58 |
| POQDavid | Dr_willis: it's my first time and i did it in grub rescue mode? | 13:58 |
| POQDavid | sorry ? was a typos | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | POQDavid, you mean from the grub 'shell' ? | 13:59 |

| catphish | DX099: a symlink certainly won't | 14:00 |
| xskydevilx | How about this people: If I run the NVIDIA installer now, would it compile it or whatever it's called itself for all of my kernel versions? | 14:00 |
| auronandace | POQDavid: why are you using a burg ppa? | 14:00 |

| catphish | Abhijit: he said he can't | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | POQDavid, burg? Eww. never messed with burg. | 14:01 |
| Abhijit | DX099, have you tried the chmod before? | 14:01 |
| Abhijit | engammalsko, nmap? | 14:01 |
| catphish | read his question | 14:01 |
| POQDavid | Dr_willis: i get it now | 14:01 |
| DX099 | Abhijit, I already tried chmod 755, it doesn't work. I think it's because the file is on NTFS partition | 14:01 |
| POQDavid | Dr_willis: i am new on linux | 14:02 |
| catphish | it may have been mounted noexec | 14:02 |
| catphish | or is the x bit not setting? | 14:02 |
| POQDavid | super_grub_disk can help? | 14:02 |
| Abhijit | DX099, maybe try chmod +x file ?? | 14:02 |
| DX099 | Abhijit, it's exactly the same thing | 14:02 |

| L3top | Hariezg: if you are attempting to run this on your native drive, you will need to run it from a live disk, or set the native system check to do so automatically on boot | 14:23 |

| samuel76 | MonkeyDust: to fix it through programmin would be simply to multiply a signed sample by a constant and allow clipping | 14:27 |
| obscurant1st | Can someone please let me know how can I fix it? | 14:27 |
| llutz | rebourn: but you try to access localhost:81 from inside the vm, where pbxware (whatever that is) runs? not from the host-system | 14:27 |
| MonkeyDust | !info nanny | linux | 14:27 |
| MonkeyDust | auronandace was faster :) | 14:27 |
| xskydevilx | What does "Sync to VBlank" mean? | 14:27 |
| rebourn | llutz i try localhost:81 from ubuntu (base system) not inside the pbxware | 14:28 |
| llutz | rebourn: how should that work? localhost is local host, not guest | 14:28 |
| IntuitiveNipple | xskydevilx: it prevents display tearing at higher resolutions | 14:28 |
| llutz | rebourn: you have to use the vms external ip | 14:29 |
| rebourn | local host meaning my local_IPadress:81 | 14:29 |
| obscurant1st | somebody? | 14:29 |
| xskydevilx | IntuitiveNipple, And therefore can limit FPS, right? | 14:29 |
| rebourn | llutz how do i find out the external IP? | 14:29 |
| MonkeyDust | rebourn is that ipv6? | 14:29 |
| llutz | rebourn: inside vm, ifconfig | 14:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rebourn: localhost means the IP address 127.0.0.1 - it is ONLY accessible from the SAME HOST | 14:29 |
| rebourn | ipconfig or ifconfig | 14:29 |
| llutz | rebourn: and if you need to access the vm from the host-system, you should use bridged-networking for the guest | 14:30 |
| rebourn | IntuitiveNipple: bad choice of words, I ment the local IP on the router | 14:30 |
| linux | i want to set up my own webserver, but i dont have static IP what should i do? | 14:31 |
| obscurant1st | linux: dyndns? | 14:31 |
| gaston_ | I tried updating via update manager, but 3.2.6 isn't there, i need to dl and build it, right? | 14:32 |
| gaston_ | ? | 14:32 |
| llutz | linux: dyndns/no-ip account + portforwarding | 14:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rebourn: so something like http://192.168.0.10:81 ? | 14:32 |
| linux | what is dyndns? | 14:32 |
| obscurant1st | linux: checkout their website | 14:32 |
| auronandace | gaston_: or use a ppa, which we can't support if it goes wrong | 14:32 |
| llutz | linux: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS | 14:32 |
| linux | portforwarding from router IP? | 14:32 |
| obscurant1st | linux: portforwarding.com | 14:33 |
| rebourn | IntuitiveNipple: yes something like that, llutz: Ifconfig is showing the vms int address as 10.0.2.15 but also doesnt work | 14:33 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| llutz | rebourn: inside vm "sudo lsof -i :81" | 14:33 |
| linux | obscrantlst: ok | 14:33 |
| llutz | rebourn: can you even ping 10.0.2.15 from the host-system? | 14:34 |
| obscurant1st | sorry linux: http://portforward.com/ | 14:34 |
| drcode | hi all | 14:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rebourn: If you're trying to access the virtual machine from a machine other than the host, you'll need to add a static route your network router or each device that needs to access it, something like ip route add 10.0.2.0/24 via IP.OF.HOST.OF.VM | 14:34 |

| Anomie21 | How do I make that playable on a DVD player? cant find via google | 14:35 |
| obscurant1st | Anomie21: rip that dvd | 14:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rebourn: you may also need to ensure that ipv4_forwarding has been enabled on the HOST | 14:35 |
| Anomie21 | Ah devede, found it :) | 14:35 |
| obscurant1st | Anomie21: or write the image onto a dvd | 14:35 |
| linux | obscurantlsl: ok i got that | 14:35 |
| obscurant1st | :) | 14:35 |
| nicol | :) | 14:35 |
| rebourn | llutz: no ping response, IntuitiveNipple: Its the same machine, ubuntu core system, gentoo in VM | 14:37 |
| chiliblue | how to I get out og a root terminal again? | 14:37 |
| obscurant1st | so anyone, what to do if the panel has no shutdown button? | 14:37 |
| jrib | !sudo | chiliblue | 14:37 |
| ubottu | chiliblue: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 14:37 |
| obscurant1st | chiliblue: exit | 14:37 |
| llutz | rebourn: do you use bridged-networking for the guest? | 14:37 |
| jrib | chiliblue: sorry, I misread your question. See obscurant1st's response | 14:37 |
| rebourn | llutz im not sure | 14:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rebourn: Is there a route to the VM on the host (ip route show) ? | 14:38 |
| llutz | rebourn: check it | 14:38 |
| chiliblue | obscurant1st, ok, thought it might be more interesting than that | 14:38 |
| rebourn | llutz: sorry, how | 14:38 |
| obscurant1st | chiliblue: ;) | 14:38 |
| LuUser | hey all i'm running lubuntu 12.04...i set up pgp keys in passwords and keys (seahorse) but how do i encrypt/decrypt messages? when i right click on a text file i dont see the encryption options | 14:38 |
| llutz | rebourn: start "VirtualBox" and check the vm config | 14:38 |
| theadmin | obscurant1st: If you're running gnome-shell, then the only sane way for shutdown I know is via GDM, that is, log out and... well | 14:38 |
| llutz | IntuitiveNipple: that's not needed if vbox is configured to use bridged-networking (vmnet does all that) | 14:39 |
| obscurant1st | theadmin: well, I can power ff if I press alt without logging out | 14:39 |
| rebourn | llutz: NAT is chosen, bridged adapter is an option if that is what you mean | 14:39 |
| IntuitiveNipple | llutz: ahh ok .... rebourn: brctl show | 14:39 |
| llutz | vboxnetdrv, sry | 14:40 |
| obscurant1st | theadmin: But I would like to know if there is anyway to change that suspend to power off. As of now, "suspend" changes to power off if I press alt | 14:40 |
| llutz | rebourn: use bridged | 14:40 |
| wookienz | guys need some help with an upstart job. I have created a script and placed it in /etc/init/ however it doesnt run on boot. Infact even when booted and trying to TAB autocomplete in the /etc/init dir it doesnt see it. | 14:40 |
| solsTiCe | hi. It seems I can't resize the icons of the unity launcher in 12.04. is it because it considers that every screen with 1024x768 reso must be a touch screen and don't need icon resizing ?? | 14:40 |
| wookienz | do i need to update anything after placing it there? | 14:40 |
| theadmin | obscurant1st: I see, uh, that's a rather awkward key combo. Anyway, you can create a launcher for something like this: dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop | 14:40 |

| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, yes. noone of the other scripts have +x eabled | 14:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: does it include "start on runlevel [2345]" | 14:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: that's correct - upstart scripts do not require +x | 14:43 |
| obscurant1st | theadmin: I liked it actually. Its better for my use! Its a little bit more eyecandy. :P | 14:43 |

| djk | Question: What is the reasoning for locking how small or big the Unity Launcher icon can be? | 14:47 |
| Oprtz | llutz: can u tell me how to install Intel Wifi driver 3945 ? it drops wifi after 5 to 10 minute | 14:48 |
| Oprtz | and i am on latest 3.3 kernal | 14:48 |
| auronandace | Oprtz: you don't need to install intel wireless drivers | 14:48 |
| Dr_willis | djk, locking? you can change the size of the left hand panel icons.. | 14:48 |
| Oprtz | auronandace: then what to install? | 14:48 |
| obscurant1st | Oprtz: Sure you've checked your router? | 14:48 |
| Oprtz | obscurant1st: what to check Sir? | 14:48 |
| djk | Dr_willis: not below or above preset limits | 14:49 |
| auronandace | Oprtz: you don't need to install anything, they are there by default | 14:49 |
| Dr_willis | djk, so.. you want to go down to zero? | 14:49 |
| obscurant1st | Try connecting some other system to the router your're using. It could be the problem of your router | 14:49 |
| djk | not zero but it would be nice to go to 8 | 14:49 |
| Dr_willis | would a negative size go to the other side of the screen. ;) | 14:49 |
| terry_ | wookienz: pastebinit davmail.conf | 14:50 |
| Dr_willis | 8 would be about the size of the little arrow i see on my buttons. :) | 14:50 |

| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: It looks okay... how about replacing the exec line with a write to a log file so you know if the upstart job is being started? | 14:51 |
| djk | well all I'm say is it should be permitted. 32 is huge on my old laptop 1024x768 | 14:51 |
| Oprtz | guy i am back now, now on ethernet bcz wifi discnects | 14:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: also, Do you really need to be putting the job into the background with the & | 14:51 |
| Oprtz | so how to check router for wifi problem ? | 14:51 |
| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, good idea. "exec echo >> /home/x/text" ? | 14:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: I don't see any other jobs doing that bg thing | 14:52 |
| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, it is a headless server so need to display it to me | 14:52 |
| obscurant1st | Oprtz: try connecting some other system to the router and check if the problem persists! | 14:52 |
| wookienz | unless i dont understand bg | 14:52 |
| Oprtz | obscurant1st: i check my andriod mobile, windows XP machine both run fine except ubuntu machine :( | 14:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: yes to the echo. I don't see any other upstart scripts using "&" on their exec lines | 14:53 |

| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, ok. it is funny my other two scripts i have written show up when i TAB for auto complete behind sudo service, but not this one | 14:53 |
| wookienz | wierd | 14:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: I agree :s | 14:53 |

| theadmin | peppermint_: Looking at both your nickname and your "real name", I can tell you're using Peppermint, which is not a supported derivative. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but just so you know, derivatives are unsupported here (except specific ones such as K/X/L/Edu-buntu) | 15:06 |
| bourke | is there any other way to get attention on a bug other than clicking "affects me" ? | 15:06 |
| peppermint_ | wait no it's disabled | 15:06 |
| idiot | IntuitiveNipple: i don't think so | 15:06 |
| auronandace | idiot: just reinstall | 15:06 |
| idiot | auronandace: yeah. this is at work though. this is bad. really bad | 15:06 |
| jrib | idiot: fastest way to fix it is backup and reinstall | 15:06 |
| peppermint_ | theadmin, it's a general networkmanager problem, thought I might as well ask here | 15:06 |
| idiot | jrib: can i back up via scp? | 15:06 |
| idiot | like, transfer everythig? | 15:07 |
| guest123 | peppermint_> type lspci | grep -i "network" | 15:07 |
| auronandace | idiot: why did you do it? | 15:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | idiot: http://askubuntu.com/questions/50704/sudo-error-is-mode-0777-should-be-0440 | 15:07 |

| nlici | how to open rpm file? | 15:07 |
| jrib | idiot: uhh depends what you want to backup (does your user have access to everything you want to backup) | 15:07 |
| obscurant1st | nlici: rpm is for redhat, try .deb or src | 15:07 |
| jrib | nlici: you should not use rpm on ubuntu. What are you trying to intall? | 15:07 |
| auronandace | !deb | nlici | 15:07 |
| ubottu | nlici: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 15:08 |
| idiot | obscurant1st: what is a dd? | 15:08 |
| guest123 | peppermint_> yeah, it's the wifi card, now juest wait | 15:08 |
| theadmin | peppermint_: sudo lshw -C network | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us # Run this, paste result | 15:08 |
| obscurant1st | idiot: make an exact image of the disk and keep it for later use. You can even mount a dd image and use it. | 15:08 |
| nlici | thx | 15:08 |
| theadmin | nlici: You don't, Ubuntu has no support for RPM, basically. | 15:08 |
| Dr_willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) | 15:09 |
| idiot | obscurant1st: can i do that via ssh? everything depends on my ssh connection right now | 15:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | obscurant1st: idiot has done this on a remote headless server | 15:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | idiot: you will need to ask the server host to manually intervene | 15:09 |
| obscurant1st | oh ok! | 15:09 |
| Narc | Hello everyone. I found no way to set Rhythmbox to convert automatically to ogg. Even though it's selected in "preferred format", it keeps converting them to mp3 when I sync my Android phone... | 15:09 |
| nlici | easy deb open ? | 15:09 |
| idiot | ok, so i need to back things up | 15:09 |
| idiot | what is the best way to do this | 15:10 |
| peppermint_ | theadmin, http://sprunge.us/iUPf | 15:10 |
| Dr_willis | !backup | 15:10 |

| theadmin | peppermint_: ...Do you have a wifi button? If so, press it | 15:10 |
| peppermint_ | guest123, peppermint@peppermint ~ $ sudo service network-manager status | 15:11 |
| peppermint_ | network-manager start/running, process 2563 | 15:11 |
| Narc | noobfriend: I do, and it seems to work quite well. | 15:11 |
| jrib | idiot: did your provider happen to set a root password? | 15:11 |
| guest123 | peppermint_> ok ;-) | 15:11 |
| auronandace | peppermint_: peppermint isn't supported here | 15:11 |
| guest123 | peppermint_> so, your wifi must work | 15:11 |
| obscurant1st | Narc: any luck on trying to connect a HDMI extended monitor? | 15:11 |
| ZetaRC121 | anyone ever get an Acer Aspire One D-250 to sleep on closing? I can sleep and hibernate and restore from both states on the laptop normally, the backlight turns off on closing, but the laptop never stops running. I'm setting this install up for someone else I'd like to have the ability to just be able to close the laptop and it sleep. | 15:12 |
| jrib | nlici: you really should be using software manager and not downloading debs manually | 15:12 |
| auronandace | jrib: he is trying to install teamviewer | 15:12 |
| linuxfreaker | my server has been hack by some hackers. Root password has been changed, and the hacker keeps changing it every time I regained access. how shall I handle this issue. I need to have everything back to normal and to kick the hacker out of my system | 15:12 |
| guest123 | peppermint_> can you make a screenshot of your entire screen and publish here ? | 15:12 |
| BLZbubba | obscurant1st: does that work with unity? it is complaining that i don't have gnome 3 | 15:12 |
| peppermint_ | theadmin, pressed it | 15:12 |
| peppermint_ | no visible change | 15:12 |
| llutz | linuxfreaker: set the system up from fresh | 15:12 |
| jrib | linuxfreaker: reinstall | 15:12 |
| theadmin | peppermint_: What about, uh, "sudo rfkill unblock all"? | 15:12 |
| Narc | obscurant1st: It works out of the box on my Asus laptop when I plug my TV in. And under Unity too which is quite a feat. | 15:12 |
| linuxfreaker | jrib: I have cPanel running | 15:13 |
| obscurant1st | BLZbubba: Ooops. Sorry mate, I am already on Gnome 3. | 15:13 |
| linuxfreaker | jrib: How can I secure my machine | 15:13 |
| jrib | linuxfreaker: do you know how the intruder gained access? | 15:13 |
| auronandace | peppermint_: what is the output of uname -a | 15:13 |
| obscurant1st | Narc: whaaaat? It works for you? That leaves me pretty sad! :/ | 15:13 |
| noobfriend | ahhh i hate optimus technology for ubuntu | 15:13 |
| noobfriend | and UNITY! | 15:13 |
| Darkasakerionz | Hi, I have a little problem with openvpn, I have 2 net interfaces, one for lan and the other for Internet, the thing it's that I install openvpn and the server-client works, but I can't access to the internet. http://dpaste.com/746067/ | 15:13 |
| androidbruce | could someone give some assistance with bind9 and 12.04? | 15:13 |
| peppermint_ | auronandace, it says peppermint | 15:14 |
| peppermint_ | 2.6.38 | 15:14 |
| obscurant1st | Narc: So do you use optirun, or it simply works? | 15:14 |
| Sidewinder | linuxfreaker, What llutz and jrib said; however I am more than curious as to exactly how this occurred and what you plan on to prevent. TIA. | 15:14 |
| linuxfreaker | jrib: How shall I check that | 15:14 |
| auronandace | peppermint_: please use the right support channel | 15:14 |
| Hariezg | Can I upgrade Xubuntu LTS 11:10 to 12:04? | 15:14 |
| theadmin | Darkasakerionz: Simply set a default route: sudo route add default dev pppX (replace X with your ppp interface... 1 I guess. Or 0) | 15:14 |
| Narc | obscurant1st: HDMI just works without optirun | 15:14 |
| linuxfreaker | Sidewinder: How can I know how its intruding | 15:14 |
| noobfriend | obscurantlst: I use optirun and without it and both work | 15:14 |
| luite | i haven an ubuntu server with static ip (/etc/network/interfaces), but /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten every time. where do i make the dns configuration permanently? | 15:14 |
| Hariezg | can i Upgrade xubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 LTS? | 15:15 |
| obscurant1st | Narc: your hdmi is on intel then, I suppose? | 15:15 |
| jrib | luite: ubuntu version? | 15:15 |
| peppermint_ | auronandace, peppermint is a fork, they didn't make any changes to networkmanager. ergo, I can use this support channel as a last resort since their channel is dead | 15:15 |
| bazhang | Hariezg, 11.10 is not lts, 12.04 is, and yes you can | 15:15 |
| obscurant1st | Mine is on Nvidia! :/ | 15:15 |
| luite | jrib: 12.04 server | 15:15 |
| Darkasakerionz | theadmin, I don't have a ppp interface, i only have tun and eth* | 15:15 |
| jrib | peppermint_: unofficial forks of ubuntu aren't supported here | 15:15 |
| auronandace | !derivatives | peppermint_ | 15:15 |
| ubottu | peppermint_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 15:15 |
| theadmin | Darkasakerionz: Doh, sorry, I'm used to PPTP vpn's, uh, whichever interface belongs to your VPN. | 15:15 |
| theadmin | Darkasakerionz: The one for internet, that is | 15:15 |
| noobfriend | obscurantls: Mine too, optirun should do the job | 15:15 |
| jrib | !notes | luite | 15:15 |
| ubottu | luite: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) release notes can be found here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.04 | 15:15 |
| obscurant1st | peppermint_: try wicd as a last resort | 15:15 |
| jrib | luite: see the release notes about resolv.conf | 15:15 |
| peppermint_ | theadmin, no change except the bluetooth light came on | 15:15 |
| Narc | obscurant1st: I think it's on the Nvidia | 15:16 |
| peppermint_ | obscurant1st, ok ty | 15:16 |
| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, back up and running and works magic! | 15:16 |
| Hariezg | @bazhang apa ada cara khusus? | 15:16 |
| obscurant1st | noobfriend: yours also works? | 15:16 |
| theadmin | peppermint_: I see... hm. Well, as many people mentioned, peppermint isn't supported here, I suspect a driver issue tbh | 15:16 |
| bazhang | Hariezg, english | 15:16 |
| peppermint_ | obscurant1st, how do I use it | 15:16 |
| peppermint_ | ? | 15:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Darkasakerionz: you've probably allowed the openvpn connection to set the default route. check "ip route show" | 15:16 |
| obscurant1st | Narc: its on nvidia? Man, I am doing a immediate reinstall then. I can live without it! | 15:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: Was it the stray "&" ? | 15:16 |
| nlici | hii i can not able to run the deb.file which i downloaded on my desctop .i tried directly double click but it gives a error . help please | 15:16 |
| noobfriend | obscurantlst: yes, with and without optirun it works. Mine is on nvidia | 15:16 |
| thresh | hey. using 12.04 32 bit on eeepc 1201n, laptop doesnt suspend to ram. here's dmesg output after I do "echo mem > /sys/power/state": http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7yvC0FzD any suggestions? | 15:16 |
| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, still checking | 15:17 |
| obscurant1st | peppermint_: you google mate. I cannot help you further since this is not the support channel. | 15:17 |
| theadmin | nlici: sudo apt-get install gdebi && sudo gdebi ~/Desktop/your_file.deb | 15:17 |
| Pici | nlici: What deb? What error? | 15:17 |
| obscurant1st | you use* google | 15:17 |
| peppermint_ | ok, I'll keep looking. thanks for your help theadmin and guest123 and obscurant1st | 15:17 |
| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, i bet idiot cant fix his problem as quickly! | 15:17 |
| noobfriend | obscurantlst: i would not recomment installing the nvidia-current as is. I would follow all the instructions on the bumblebee wesite before doing any type of video card install | 15:17 |
| kayve | My Classic Gnome on my newly update Ubuntu version is acting funny. I can't send apps to workspaces properly. Is this a good channel to ask or is there a better suggestion? I am in #gnome with no feebaack | 15:17 |
| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, also for some reason i can TAB complete the other script that wasnt working before! | 15:17 |
| Narc | obscurant1st: I'm not sure about the HDMI being on Intel on Nvidia though | 15:17 |
| idiot | wookienz: is there a quick way to fix this | 15:17 |
| luite | jrib: ah great thanks. i had already looked in the interfaces man pages but it looks like they're not documented yet | 15:17 |
| obscurant1st | noobfriend: I have done the step by step process exactly as it is! | 15:18 |
| idiot | wookienz: because is there is and you are holding out on me | 15:18 |
| auronandace | theadmin: shouldn't that be gksudo gdebi? | 15:18 |
| wookienz | idiot: do what i did - revert to a saved snap shot of the virtual machine! | 15:18 |
| obscurant1st | Narc ok! | 15:18 |
| noobfriend | obscurantlst: did you do any nvidia installation before? | 15:18 |
| theadmin | auronandace: Well, "gksudo gdebi-gtk" if you wish ;), but I prefer the plain CLI "gdebi" | 15:18 |
| idiot | wookienz: does the system automatically take snap shots? | 15:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wookienz: sometimes computers scare me, they seen to know when to play up better than kids! | 15:18 |
| idiot | wookienz: i can't do anything sudo | 15:18 |
| auronandace | theadmin: ah, yes, you are right, sorry | 15:19 |
| obscurant1st | noobfriend: no, it was fresh install of ubuntu. I didn't even upgrade 11.* ubuntu | 15:19 |
| wookienz | IntuitiveNipple, yes just as you need to run out the door to do something. | 15:19 |
| wookienz | idiot, sorry mate, start again! | 15:19 |
| obscurant1st | peppermint_: you're welcome! | 15:19 |
| linuxfreaker | Guys, I am unable to install Ubuntu 11.04 through UEFI mode | 15:19 |
| sisar | hi, i seem to have somehow inverted my mouse's scrolling. Downscrolling is actualling upscrolling & vice-vesa. How can i fix it? | 15:19 |
| noobfriend | obscurantlst: well, mine is from fresh install of 11.10 | 15:19 |
| obscurant1st | noobfriend: and it works? | 15:20 |
| noobfriend | obscurantlst: yes | 15:20 |
| Fraz | well i dunno what going on with my linux installation. when i go to recovery mode i get this..... | 15:20 |
| Fraz | http://postimage.org/image/otvxfn6uz/full/ | 15:20 |
| Darkasakerionz | theadmin, It still don't work | 15:20 |
| theadmin | Darkasakerionz: Your nameservers configured correctly and such stuff? | 15:21 |
| Fraz | any ideas? | 15:21 |
| nlici | the error is like that | 15:22 |
| Fraz | and i cant do anything from that screen | 15:22 |

| josoygigi | hi everybody | 15:22 |
| rollitup | I just installed apache2 mysql and phpmyadmin, and also set-up a drupal site on the webroot but when I try to access the drupal site I get a file to download with a message that says "You have chosen to open which is a:PHTML file from:http://localhost please help | 15:23 |
| Darkasakerionz | theadmin, yep | 15:23 |
| llutz | nlici: get a correct deb for your architecture then | 15:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Fraz: that image indicates a USB device is plugged in that isn't working. Is there anything you can unplug from the PC? | 15:23 |
| jrib | !lamp | rollitup | 15:23 |
| ubottu | rollitup: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:23 |
| theadmin | nlici: So, get the 32-bit deb then... | 15:23 |
| jrib | rollitup: follow the troubleshooting steps for that issue on the wiki | 15:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Darkasakerionz: Did you check the default route as I suggested? I didn't see any reply to my comment | 15:23 |
| Fraz | IntuitiveNipple, well theres my phone usb cable, but its not tethered | 15:24 |
| Fraz | and my keyboard usb extension | 15:24 |
| Fraz | other than that just mouse and keyboard | 15:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Fraz: some USB device is causing those failures... try unplugging everything you don't need. that will at least allow you to see the Recovery menu! | 15:25 |
| Fraz | ok thanks | 15:25 |
| Fraz | back in 5 mins | 15:25 |
| Narc | Hello everyone. I found no way to set Rhythmbox to convert automatically to ogg. Even though it's selected in "preferred format", it keeps converting them to mp3 when I sync my Android phone... | 15:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Fraz: once you're at the recovery menu you can see what the options are and check the system logs to find out why the upgrade failed | 15:25 |
| Darkasakerionz | IntuitiveNipple, well... I can't do that, because i'm in gentoo | 15:26 |
| jrib | idiot: what's the issue with backing up and reinstalling? Or have you decided to do that? | 15:27 |
| lousygarua | i'm trying to use mpd, but, there is just no... well.. mpd --create-db | 15:27 |

| idiot | so, onces everything is backuped up, i am good | 15:28 |
| === cuthbert_ is now known as tuff | ||
| jrib | idiot: keep in mind that you'll want to put "nicer" permissions on those files you are backing up eventually | 15:28 |
| === tuff is now known as tuffgong | ||
| idiot | jrib: this only thing i need to back up is website stuff | 15:28 |
| idiot | and mysql database | 15:28 |
| idiot | this is a hard lesson to learn | 15:28 |
| jrib | idiot: maybe backup a list of your installed packages, so you can easily install them again? | 15:29 |
| jrib | !clone | idiot | 15:29 |
| ubottu | idiot: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 15:29 |
| tuffgong | jrib, look at this http://imagebin.org/211842 | 15:29 |
| jrib | tuffgong: well that's wrong | 15:29 |

| theadmin | nintet: You can try pavucontrol | 15:30 |
| jrib | tuffgong: it *is* supported for 5 years. Look at the release notes | 15:30 |
| bazhang | tuffgong, its five years for both. let s move on | 15:31 |
| tuffgong | wat about in ma link | 15:31 |

| bazhang | tuffgong, it's Wrong. | 15:31 |

| profanephobia | How can I configure sendmail (or eqv) to accept incoming messages and simply store them in a directory? | 15:37 |
| Industrial | My webhosts ssh disconnects me every 1 or 2 minutes. Mounts that I do with sshfs user@host: mountpoint will timeout aswell | 15:38 |
| Industrial | now I can't unmount it, it says the device is busy. | 15:38 |
| Industrial | 1) Can I get rid of / stop the current connection? 2) Can I keep the connection from timeouting or just log in again automatically every time I access it again in the future? | 15:38 |
| Industrial | Using gvfs works aswell but it's extremely slow compared to the sshfs mount | 15:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Industrial: Use "screen" to create a reconnectable session at the remote end | 15:39 |
| Industrial | just changing files in vim locks it for 3-4 seconds | 15:39 |
| Industrial | IntuitiveNipple: though a SSH mount? | 15:39 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Industrial: as to removing the sshfs mounts ... are you using fuser? | 15:39 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Industrial: I thought you were describing lost ssh user sessions as well as sshfs | 15:39 |
| === idiot is now known as phat4life | ||
| Industrial | fusermount -u mountlocation | 15:40 |
| Industrial | IntuitiveNipple: no, the sshfs mount is in limbo | 15:40 |
| Industrial | fusermount: failed to unmount /home/tom/Mounts/wf: Device or resource busy | 15:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Industrial: OK, I used to use sshfs like that myself, but I didn't have problems unmounting zombie connections that I recall | 15:40 |
| K-Rich | How do i get the indicator-weather to work, i installed it and no weather in the panel :/ | 15:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Industrial: Is some process holding files/locks open inside that mount? have you used lsof to check? | 15:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | K-Rich: fine outside :p | 15:41 |
| Industrial | IntuitiveNipple: lsof how? | 15:41 |
| K-Rich | IntuitiveNipple, rly? | 15:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Industrial: lsof with various options allows you to see open files, you can grep the list for anything with a path in the ssfs mount path | 15:42 |
| Sidewinder | K-Rich, You may need to put in a zip code (if you're in the US). | 15:42 |

| ZetaRC121 | anyone ever get an Acer Aspire One D-250 to sleep on closing? I can sleep and hibernate and restore from both states on the laptop manually. When I close the lid the backlight turns off, but the laptop never stops running. /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state only lists the state as closed, no matter if the lid is open or closed. | 15:47 |
| Sidewinder | K-Rich, Sorry, I can't give a more definitive answer; there are, to the best of my knowledge, quite a few different "Weather Screenlets", at least I assume that/they are what you're referring to. Also, I'm running 10.04 and you're prolly using 12.04. :) | 15:47 |

| farblue | If I wanted to make a complaint about a packaging decision on the 12.04 upgrade where and how would be the best way to go about it? | 15:49 |
| K-Rich | Sidewinder, start, i've been using Ubuntu since warty (with an occasional sidestep to mint), and linux for 20 years....... | 15:50 |
| Sidewinder | K-Rich, There was a guy (guess it was a guy) with a nick-name of "idiot." | 15:50 |
| K-Rich | Sidewinder, just a simple brain fart lol | 15:50 |
| Sidewinder | K-Rich, Been there... | 15:50 |
| bazhang | time-lady-reila, just ask | 15:50 |
| farblue | is there an official channel? it's not really a 'bug' etc. | 15:50 |
| bazhang | farblue, file a wishlist bug | 15:50 |
| farblue | hmm | 15:51 |
| farblue | ok | 15:51 |
| bazhang | !bug | farblue | 15:51 |
| ubottu | farblue: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 15:51 |

| farblue | It's not really a bug | 15:51 |
| bazhang | farblue, thus the wishlist nature | 15:51 |
| farblue | it's a decision that I strongly disagree with | 15:51 |
| farblue | ok | 15:51 |
| bazhang | time-lady-reila, the entire question, on a single line, please | 15:52 |
| drPoO | how can I run a custom script at startup ?? | 15:52 |
| invincible_ | Hi K-Rich! hope I'm not disturbing you but could you please help me getting rid of a certain shared liberary error please? | 15:52 |
| time-lady-reila | Basically, I'm getting an internal error--invalid parameters error. Everything I've found on the forums says that it's an issue with ptrace. | 15:52 |
| BLZbubba | time-lady-reila: what is the issue? and have you tried #winehq? it ls a lot less crowded | 15:52 |

| lord_ | why do i have a install release icon? | 15:59 |
| rabbi1 | OerHeks: where can i find it ? | 15:59 |
| tsimpson | rollitup: you probably have to just try and locate each file it installed and remove each manually. .sh "installers" usually don't have an uninstall option, which is why most people don't use them | 16:00 |
| OerHeks | rabbi1, well i am not sure it is going to work with Unity, it is in softwarecentre | 16:00 |
| vbajpai | I compiled and installed a software (let's say foo) from source, it got installed at /usr/local/foo, i am interested in foo/bin, foo/include, foo/lib, how do I make the system learn of the files within these directories? manually symlinking /usr/local/{bin, include, lib}/{each item} -> /usr/local/foo/{bin, include, lib}/{each time} seems tedious | 16:00 |

| invincible_ | K-Rich_ I tried ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 and got ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3': Permission denied | 16:08 |
| mbeierl | magma, yes it is. not on my ubuntu system right now so I can't remember the package name | 16:08 |
| KM0201 | magma: depending on what you're trying to do (sorry, i'm late to the party)... evince is in the repositories to read PDF's | 16:08 |
| KM0201 | !info evince | magma | 16:08 |

| invincible_ | K-Rich_ I also tried rm /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 and got rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3': No such file or directory | 16:08 |
| mbeierl | KM0201, can evince be set to open a la ole inside the browser? | 16:09 |

| KM0201 | magma: not sur eon that, i've always found browsing PDF's in a web browser, extremely annoying, so i download them | 16:09 |
| mbeierl | KM0201, ditto here. | 16:09 |
| mbeierl | magma, but i do know that when i installed acroread, it started opening in my browser | 16:10 |
| invincible_ | @K-Rich: Anyways, thanks a lot for your kind help. | 16:10 |
| KM0201 | yeah, i think acroread does that | 16:10 |
| bazhang | magma, acroread is in the partner repo | 16:10 |
| mbeierl | bazhang, thanks! That's where it came from! | 16:10 |
| bazhang | !partner | magma | 16:10 |
| ubottu | magma: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 16:10 |

| Cyonx | not that anybody answered, but the solution to missing xchat panel icon was apparently I needed to edit dconf entry for unity to allow 'XChat IRC'. is there any reason I wouldn't want to just change it to show 'all' ? | 16:15 |

| gulzar | Pici: Hello. Remember I asked about creating symlinks. Here is what I wanted to do. Exactly what I wanted to have. When Main.sh is launched it shows this http://imagebin.org/211847 . When Accessories is clicked it shows this http://imagebin.org/211848 . Clicking on Arrow takes back to Main screen and so on it works. It is little bit like KDE-search-plasma .. just without search bar (thinking of adding that also) and much less RAM and CPU usage. | 16:17 |
| Cyonx | add 'XChat IRC' to the end of the whitelist string. I then had to do an alt-f2 "unity --replace" to get it to take effect. | 16:17 |

| Cyonx | LordMael: for whatever it's worth, my Dell Lattitude with an NVS160 does the same thing. | 16:47 |
| Sidewinder | invincible_, You might try, using either Synaptic Package Mgr. or Software Center, looking for libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3, to see if it's installed. If it's not, install it. Hope that helps. :) | 16:48 |

| arooni-mobile | hey folks; want to do a fresh install of 12.04... i want to encrypt at least the home drive... and i'm wondering if the ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.isodisk has the ability to encrypt the whole disk or just /home | 17:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unperson: invincible_ The earliest versions I can see on old-versions.ubuntu.com is 2.3.2: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/ | 17:03 |
| arooni-mobile | and i'm also wondering if worth encrypting the whole drive as opposed to just /home | 17:04 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: just home, if you want to encrypt all you'll need to use the Alternate installer | 17:04 |
| arooni-mobile | what are thoughts on encryping the whole drive versus just /home | 17:04 |
| p0ck | arooni-mobile: LUKS? | 17:05 |
| arooni-mobile | p0ck, huh? | 17:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | arooni-mobile: I prefer selective encryption of LVM volumes. I generally don't encrypt / but do /var and /home and others | 17:05 |
| p0ck | arooni-mobile: LUKS encryption | 17:06 |
| unperson | invincible_, You said you'd already downloaded the files mentioned in that thread? | 17:06 |
| arooni-mobile | IntuitiveNipple, so u use alternate installer? why do you encrypt /var | 17:06 |
| idiot_ | what else should i transfer if i am trying to make a backup of my system | 17:07 |
| idiot_ | is there a way to transfer usrs? | 17:07 |
| idiot_ | from one machine to another? | 17:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unperson: invincible_ That program really ought to have beeen statically linked if it is to be widely distributed, not rely on system libraries if it is that particular about the supported ABI | 17:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | idiot_: All of /etc/ some of /var/ all of /usr/local/ all of /home/, config from /boot/grub/ | 17:08 |
| unperson | If you downloaded http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-2.95/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb you could try installing it. I think you should just be able to find the file and double clikc on it. That should start GDebi to install the package. | 17:08 |
| invincible_ | @unperson: Yes Sir, I did. But I have no idea how to install it.. | 17:08 |
| Jerusalem420 | my samba just stopped working. | 17:08 |
| lusers | idiot_: /opt (if you have any) | 17:08 |
| unperson | invincible_, But there's a good chance it will not work. | 17:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unperson: I'm concerned, if invincible_ installs that libc .deb package it could replace some existing system library symlinks | 17:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unperson: which might render the system unhappy to say the least | 17:09 |
| arooni-mobile | IntuitiveNipple, what of /var/ ? ;i'm doing something similar tomomrrow | 17:09 |
| unperson | IntuitiveNipple, Yes, that's possible. I thought it would warn him first. No? | 17:09 |
| unperson | invincible_, Hold on a second. | 17:09 |

| unperson | IntuitiveNipple, Also, you're of course right that they should have statically linked the library. | 17:10 |
| invincible_ | IntuitiveNipple & unperson: Sure Sir. | 17:10 |
| x-ip | the idea is they connect to my machine in a new session | 17:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unperson: I'm not sure if it would warn ... running dpkg -i is pretty clear you want to upgrade/downgrade a package, after all | 17:11 |

| dr_willis | x-ip: not vino | 17:11 |
| x-ip | dr_willis, 'vino' is a vnc server right ? | 17:11 |
| jpds | x-ip: Or xpra. | 17:11 |
| unperson | IntuitiveNipple, True. Yes, I agree that replacing libstdc++ would be bad. I thought it would not overwrite any existing files installed by apt/dpkg without a warning, but I may be wrong. | 17:11 |
| x-ip | ups | 17:11 |
| x-ip | thanks dr_willis jpds , googling that =) | 17:11 |
| jasonrogena | dr_willis:how do you do ssh with x forwarding? | 17:11 |
| dr_willis | vino shares current desktoo. vncserver dies not | 17:11 |
| x-ip | ssh -x ? | 17:11 |
| dr_willis | !ssh | 17:12 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 17:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unperson: It won't overwrite files but it may replace symbolic links for the default link to the SONAME | 17:12 |
| jpds | x-ip / jasonrogena: xpra is far more relible than X forwarding. | 17:12 |
| x-ip | ou excellent! | 17:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unperson: invincible_ This is the kind of thing to do in a minimal virtual machine instance | 17:12 |
| unperson | IntuitiveNipple, That's true. I haven't had that happen to me, but my experience is very limited with this sort of thing. | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | on a all linux network. ssh wiuld be a good.tool | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | !info xpra | 17:13 |
| ubottu | xpra (source: xpra): tool to detach/reattach running X programs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.7.36+dfsg-1 (precise), package size 116 kB, installed size 479 kB | 17:13 |
| Jerusalem420 | my samba just stopped working. any idea what would cause that to happen? the program is running, but when i try to connect via my network, i get an error. | 17:14 |
| unperson | invincible_, The problem is that the library libstdc++ is very important to your system. The program wants an older version. It's possible that by installing that older version your system will start trying to use the old version instead of the new one. If that happens it could cause very serious problems. | 17:14 |
| unperson | invincible_, So it would be ideal to install it on a machine (or virtual machine) where it is of no consequence if you accidentally break things. | 17:15 |
| dr_willis | Jerusalem420: try connecting via the ip# not the server name as a test. | 17:15 |
| Jerusalem420 | thats how i coonnect. i can ssh in to the ip | 17:15 |
| JudasMushroom | Hey guys, Im trying to update from 11.10 to 12.04, but its giving me ip not found errors at the downloading packages stage, any ideas? | 17:15 |
| unperson | IntuitiveNipple, I wonder if it's possible to just grab the library SO out of the .deb without actually installing it. | 17:15 |
| unperson | IntuitiveNipple, Basically install it manually to avoid any issues. | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | unperson: you can copy files out of a debt. | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | deb | 17:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unperson: Yes, dkg --unpack <package> can do that ... then he could install the library in the correct location and create a version-specific symlink without affecting any system symlinks | 17:17 |
| jpds | unperson: dpkg --extract packages.deb directory/ | 17:17 |

| IntuitiveNipple | invincible_: If you can find an older version, but only install it in a virtual machine if you do. My feeling is this is going to be futile - the program itself should be fixed, you'll likely waste hours on just trying to set up an environment | 17:38 |

| Nach0z | idiot_: that should be YOUR password. | 17:44 |
| Nach0z | idiot_: when you do sudo su it should ask for your password again. try it out. | 17:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Nach0z the fact that you have to ask, means you're a beginner -- a beginner with root privileges is asking for problems | 17:44 |

| MonkeyDust | idiot_ the fact that you have to ask, means you're a beginner -- a beginner with root privileges is asking for problems | 17:44 |

| Peetz0r | Hi, I just installed ubuntu server 12.04, and it won't recognize the network adapter of any machine I tried | 17:53 |

| greenit | hi, i have a problem: the flash-menu i can open with right-click is unclickable... however, i use a flash-application which periodically opens it for asking, if i want to enable local data saving.... is there a way to click again in the flash-menu? or would it be better if i use an open source alternative, like gnash? | 17:56 |
| terry_ | Peetz0r: What does lspci say about the network adapter? | 17:56 |
| bakarat | i just installed 12.04 (alternate install, full disk encryption except for /boot), i encountered the "font" bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/699802) which was fixed by copying the fonts to the /boot partition. however now the boot hangs with an "ubuntu logo" at the bottom left and some weird colors at the top. it never prompts for passwords. note that "recovery" mode does work | 17:57 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 699802 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "error:: no video mode activated" [Medium,Confirmed] | 17:57 |

| Peetz0r | the sams as other distros | 17:59 |
| x-ip | xpra seems to not work ;_; | 18:00 |
| bakarat | btw; adding "nomodeset" allows it to start booting, it prompts for two passwords, then works a bit and goes sideways (it prompts for a password but the response is no longer *-encoded and it switches between orange and white) | 18:00 |
| bakarat | any clues what it might be? | 18:00 |
| terry_ | Peetz0r: If you can ask about something specific, someone may be able to help, but in such a generality, probably not. | 18:00 |
| geopsychic | server -ssl irc.mware.ca Pendragon123 | 18:02 |
| Peetz0r | Okay, I;ll make the situation more specific. I have one machine with two disks inside. Mint 12 on one disk, Ubuntu Server 12.04 on the other | 18:03 |
| Peetz0r | Networking works on mint 12, but not on Ubuntu Server 12.04 | 18:03 |
| Peetz0r | And in fact, networking is broken in 3 other machines when I use that disk while it works otherwise | 18:04 |
| Peetz0r | lspci shows the same as other working distros, but ifconfig shows only the loopback interface | 18:04 |
| bakarat | if i edit the main grub entry to remove quiet splash and the $vt handoff thingy and add "nomodeset", ubuntu will boot but it requires 4 passwords to unlock all the encrypted partitions, the first two passwords are no problem, but the other two are _NOT_ encoded with * so just plain visible while i type | 18:05 |
| bakarat | any clues? | 18:05 |

| Pici | MarKsaitis: apt-cache policy xxx | 18:32 |
| MarKsaitis | Pici, doesnt show | 18:32 |
| Pici | MarKsaitis: Does your package show up when you use apt-cache show packagename? | 18:33 |
| MarKsaitis | there is samba4 in official ubuntu repos and samba4 in sogo repos | 18:33 |
| MarKsaitis | the package isnt installed | 18:33 |
| X-Raimo | hello, where can I find video driver for Cirrus Logic GD 5446 Card? | 18:33 |
| MarKsaitis | sure it does Pici , it says its in ubuntu repo only, thats lying its in other repo too! | 18:34 |
| MarKsaitis | so, how do I ask to list possible repos for my package? any experts here? | 18:34 |
| tsimpson | MarKsaitis: unless you have the repository enabled, apt won't see it | 18:34 |
| MarKsaitis | tsimpson, sure it is enabled | 18:34 |
| Pici | MarKsaitis: and you need to have done an apt-get update after enabling it. | 18:34 |
| MarKsaitis | Pici, it has been done. I have had these repos for a while now and used | 18:36 |
| MarKsaitis | so, how do I query for it? | 18:36 |
| tsimpson | MarKsaitis: how do you know that the package exists in the other repository? obviously apt isn't seeing it | 18:36 |
| ecolitan | I would like to know how to stop launcher from showing recent files and recent downloads | 18:36 |
| dragonfly | MarKsaitis, if you want to be sure to install a certain package from a specific repository, you can do the following: - add the repsitory you want to use and disable all others -- sudo apt-get update -- install the package you want -- reenable the other repositories -- sudo apt-get update again to have the full package list available | 18:37 |
| xangua | ecolitan: go to Privacy settings | 18:37 |

| Pici | dragonfly: that is a horrible way of installing a package. You won't be able to install package dependencies from your normal repositories if you do that. | 18:37 |
| llutz | dragonfly: why would one do that? | 18:37 |
| MarKsaitis | dragonfly, this looks to me as system integrity braking. im good without it | 18:38 |
| llutz | dragonfly: if packages are the same version, it makes no difference from which repo you install it. if they have different versions, just install the version you want (aptitude install xxx=1.2.3 | 18:38 |

| papa | whaddup people kudos to ubuntu 12.04 is looking good :D | 18:40 |
| dragonfly | llutz, I personally wouldn't do it that way because I frankly don't care which repository a package comes from if it's the one I want...but MarKsaitis for some reason seems bent on installing it from a specific repository and that is the easiest way I can think of to accomplish that | 18:40 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | did ubuntu had by default installed java and in firefox java its not recognized | 18:41 |

| llutz | MarKsaitis: there are no samba4 packages at all http://inverse.ca/ubuntu/pool/precise/s/ | 18:41 |
| MarKsaitis | dragonfly, when u do things, u also try to make sure they will update properly in the future. Also, it's not just a package, but its a bunch of packages with all dependencies etc... stuff needs to be done proper way | 18:42 |
| MarKsaitis | llutz, really? STRANGE. sogo devs said there are | 18:42 |
| MarKsaitis | in a mailing list | 18:42 |

| plm | Hi all | 18:43 |
| vbajpai | why is types.h not at include/sys/types.h but at /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/types.h | 18:43 |
| MarKsaitis | ok, I took their word, sorry =) basically, the initial problem is that when I try to install samba4 it says I cant with all sort of dependency problems | 18:43 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | i had tried with adding ppa:eugenesan/java repositories but its not working can anyone tell me hot to install java7 and to work | 18:43 |
| === pawdro_ is now known as pawdro | ||
| Donnie_Darko21 | how | 18:43 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: because sys/types.h is architecture dependant | 18:43 |
| alankila | Donnie_Darko21: try openjdk-7-jdk or default-jdk or some such package | 18:44 |
| vbajpai | tsimpson: okay, so when include/arpa/nameser.h includes sys/types.h what happens? | 18:44 |

| action09 | hi all ! On 12.04 what's the 'official' tool to manage start services (like rcconf..etc) , if there's a recommend one (cli/gui) | 18:44 |
| action09 | thanks | 18:44 |
| MarKsaitis | llutz, Pici https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists/arc/users/2012-05/msg00080.html my todays started mailinglist and devs in it. All in detail. Please help I am so lost | 18:44 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: unless you tell the compiler that you're cross-compiling, it'll use the one for your running architecture | 18:45 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | alankila i will try | 18:45 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | thanks | 18:45 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: the default paths searched take care of that for you | 18:45 |
| zykotic10 | action09: i don't believe upstart has any tools (i guess it's not expected for people running ubuntu to use services anymore) | 18:46 |
| Pici | MarKsaitis: I don't see anything in those messages that would make me think that samba4 was in the sogo repos. | 18:46 |
| yuvateja | what is command to install packages in the terminal | 18:46 |
| vbajpai | tsimpson: I think I will get directly to the point | 18:46 |
| zykotic10 | yuvateja: "sudo apt-get install foo" | 18:47 |
| MarKsaitis | Pici, https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists/arc/users/2012-05/msg00086.html | 18:47 |
| action09 | zykotic10 ok thanks for your answer | 18:47 |
| zykotic10 | yuvateja: or if you have a DEB "sudo dpkg -i foo.deb" | 18:47 |
| yuvateja | zykotic18: thank you | 18:47 |
| vbajpai | tsimpson: I am trying to compile my software on gnu/linux, all this time I was developing on OS X. The issue is I am dependent on a library (flow-tools), which uses nameserv.h which in turn uses u_char type, which is only defined in types.h, when I try to compile I get error that it does not know about w_char | 18:48 |
| zykotic10 | !tab | yuvateja FYI | 18:48 |

| Pici | MarKsaitis: Can you pastebin what the result of apt-cache policy libldb1 is? | 18:49 |
| MarKsaitis | Pici, I am just looking at it myself. pm u with it | 18:49 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: looks like you need to define _BSD_SOURCE in order to get those types | 18:49 |
| simon_clark | can anyone think of a reason that a system drive moved from one machine to another would stop recognizing all ethernet? Unbuntu 10.04 server | 18:50 |
| simon_clark | the new machine has 3 ethernet cards, ifconfig only sees loopback | 18:50 |
| vbajpai | tsimpson: but why? | 18:51 |
| zykotic10 | vbajpai: linux != bsd | 18:51 |
| KarmaComa | u | 18:51 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: because those are part of the BSD standard(s), not ISO/ANSI standard C or POSIX | 18:51 |
| john | So I was trying to compile ruby but I think I botched it, is there an easy command to get rid of RVM and the tarball | 18:51 |
| vbajpai | I see, so you mean whosoever wrote flow-tools library, wrote it with BSD in mind? | 18:52 |
| john | nvm | 18:52 |
| Pici | MarKsaitis: I don't know where you got that package version from, but its not the one from our repositories or any repositories you have currently enabled. Use apt-get to reinstall that and you should be good. | 18:52 |
| resno | should i go 64 or 32 bit? | 18:52 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: that, or they just didn't know that those were BSD types, rather than POSIX | 18:52 |
| samfisher | hi. i have root access on a machine and i need to install a deb for a regular user. how do i do that? | 18:53 |
| zykotic10 | resno: if you need to ask - 32bit | 18:53 |
| MarKsaitis | Pici, ok | 18:53 |
| resno | zykotic10: ive got 8gigs of ram, so i consider 64 | 18:53 |
| vbajpai | tsimpson: okay, but then where do I define this macro? in my cmakelist or somewhere else, what is the correct way to do it | 18:53 |
| Boohbah | samfisher: what do you mean? you don't want other users to use it? | 18:54 |
| zykotic10 | resno: with 8GB of RAM, I'd use 64bit for sure (but you still might want 32) | 18:54 |
| === VGoff_afk is now known as VGoff | ||
| resno | zykotic10: i was just curious if anyone would slap me either way... | 18:54 |
| samfisher | Boohbah: I do want | 18:54 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: it doesn't matter too much, as long as the compiler sees it. but where ever is more "global" to the project is best | 18:54 |
| alankila | they were trying to start offering 64-bit ubuntu images by default for 12.04, but there's apparently still too many systems that are 32-bit only and that held it back | 18:54 |
| alankila | I think it's time to use 64 bits now if you can | 18:54 |
| zykotic10 | samfisher: DEB installs are generally system wide | 18:55 |
| ubsrv | hi there! I've a local network with 3 computers, apache installed on all, no iptables rules, each of them 'sees' the other; if I open the other's http://ip/ I see the corresponding page; now I want to redirect all incoming traffic to port 80 from workstation A to B, on server A I add those iptables rules: | 18:55 |
| samfisher | and having a small 4pcs behind a router, how can I share the Public folder between all? | 18:55 |
| Boohbah | samfisher: then just install it | 18:55 |
| ubsrv | (iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.153.139) and (iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -d 192.168.153.139 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT) | 18:55 |
| Boohbah | ubsrv: please don't paste things into the channel | 18:56 |
| vbajpai | tsimpson: quick question again, i see sys/types.h is part of POSIX library, so it nameserv.h which is BSD-specific? | 18:56 |
| ubsrv | and the page doesn't load.. any ideas?? | 18:56 |
| ubsrv | Boohbah sorry! | 18:56 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: it's not that it's BSD-specific, it's just that that interface (API) is the one from the BSD standards | 18:57 |

| LucidGuy | Is it safe to assume that a wifi card that states it supports a/g/n is the same as stating it support a/b/g/n? | 18:59 |
| cythes | LucidGuy, Your missing 802.11b | 19:00 |
| alankila | ubsrv: use tcpdump to observe the traffic. Chances are you need both SNAT and DNAT rules. | 19:00 |
| cythes | Meaning no it wont support that kind of broadcast. | 19:00 |
| p0ck | ubsrv: echo 1>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward? | 19:00 |

| ThunderFace | Hey everyone. Does anybody have experience with the Xen hypervisor? | 19:01 |
| LucidGuy | cythes, I know, but wouldnt a card that states a/g/n also not support b? I've read a description on the exact same card .. yet its sometimes states a/g/n and a/b/g/n on others. Same card though | 19:02 |
| vbajpai | tsimpson: it was not w_char but u_char, sorry | 19:03 |
| cythes | LucidGuy, Oh.... Well then... maybe there is something diffrent about the card? I donno. | 19:03 |
| cythes | I gotta Flash Later all | 19:03 |
| tsimpson | vbajpai: I know, I just ignored the mistake :) | 19:04 |
| ThunderFace | I'm trying to set up a Windows 7 HVM in Xen, but I can't figure out how to view the HVM from the same machine that's running it.

| ubsrv | alankila doesn't work with SNAT either | 19:05 |
| ThunderFace | I installed it using Ubuntu Server 12.04 btw | 19:05 |
| alankila | ubsrv: don't try things randomly, use tcpdump and observe | 19:06 |
| resno | ThunderFace: this question may be more suited for #ubuntu-server | 19:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | LucidGuy: What's the Wifi device according to "lspci -nn" or "lsusb", and which Ubuntu release is it on? | 19:06 |
| ThunderFace | thanks resno | 19:06 |
| alankila | ubsrv: the reason why I suggest both SNAT and DNAT is that if you have a situation like X initiating connection with A which forwards it to B, X will think it's talking with A, and therefore the tcp packet received by B must be sourced to A, not to X | 19:07 |
| LucidGuy | IntuitiveNipple, umm.. Im just reading descriptions on a website. | 19:08 |
| spiff_ | Hello, a Q about the Unity launcher: I've some apps that I can launch from the dashboard that I can't make to stick to the launcher. That is, there is no "add to launcher" menu items showing up for the running app... | 19:08 |
| alankila | ubsrv: it simply won't do that connection is sent from X to A and replied by B to X, which is what I suspect is happening right now. | 19:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | LucidGuy: what's the make and model then? | 19:08 |

| bakarat | i have a dual screen setup vanilla drivers (not proprietary ones i mean) and both screens are currently on the same resolution next to one another. the image is very crisp on one, but blurry on the other. an automatic hardware message has popped up on the fuzzy monitor which says: your resolution may not match the display's optimum resolution (1920x1080). but this exactly what i set in the display manager, would installing the proprietary nvidi | 19:11 |
| bakarat | a driver fix this? | 19:11 |
| bakarat | or is it a known other bug? | 19:11 |
| IntuitiveNipple | LucidGuy: The only way to know is to check the tech specs with the chipset manufacturer | 19:11 |

| bakarat | zykotic10, btw, i vaguely seem to remember the "crisp" display can't actually run 1920x1080 but it is the primary display. is it possible that ubuntu is auto-resizing to fit the "primary" display creating a fuzzy image in the secondary? | 19:15 |

| Gape | Hello after I upgraded motherboard and CPU i'm trying to reinstall Grub and using boot-repair I get an error 'The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition. | 19:17 |
| zykotic10 | Gape: are you using EFI? do you have grub-pc or grub-efi installed currently? | 19:18 |
| Gape | Can someone briefly explain what's the different and can it work without making new partition | 19:18 |
| ubsrv | alankila supposedly B is a web cache proxy, so I want to redirect any connection from port 80 from A to B to C (proxy), but looking at tcpdump I don't even see the packet from A to B | 19:18 |
| ubsrv | IntuitiveNipple not yet :/ | 19:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Gape: You may need to enter the BIOS set-up for the motherboard and change the boot mode if possible to DOS/legacy mode | 19:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ubsrv: Are these any good? note the env-vars you need to specify | 19:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT | 19:19 |

| Gape | Is there an advantage to EFI boot? | 19:19 |
| ubsrv | gonna try that | 19:19 |
| zykotic10 | Gape: 2TB+ support | 19:19 |
| alankila | ubsrv: ok, in my example I just used X, A and B. tcpdump on linux has some kind of buffering issue too, it doesn't always print the packets it received. I haven't worked out what is wrong with it yet | 19:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ubsrv: $EXTIF will be eth0 I think; $EXTIP is the IP on eth0, $PORTFWIP is the PC to redirect to | 19:19 |
| ubsrv | IntuitiveNipple nice :) gonna do it | 19:20 |
| Gape | zykotic: thanks, Also the reason I'm trying to reinstall grub is that I get ' | 19:20 |

| marc82ch | hi all, I'm new to Ubuntu, like it very much until now. But now I got a little problem: I installed Eclipse via standard software center. It works, but frequently it seems to get lost from the window manager, launcher or whatever. I pinned it to the launcher, but it behaves as it's no longer running. When I click the launcher icon (with no arrow beside) it complains that the workspace is already occupied. Also Alt-Tab doesn't show it anymor | 19:46 |
| marc82ch | e, but ps does. It's running. | 19:46 |
| LifeLike | marc82ch, have you tried killing the process before attempting to oepn up eclipse again? | 19:49 |
| marc82ch | LifeLike, I did, then it worked again until I switched programs a couple of times, then it happened again. | 19:49 |
| LifeLike | marc82ch, when switching applications, are you choosing 'Show Desktop' as well? | 19:50 |
| LifeLike | there is a known bug there | 19:50 |

| LifeLike | marc82ch, the USC don't _always_ have the latest repos of the software. What I've noticed with eclipse is that when ever there is a new version of Ubuntu, eclipse gets the latest update then. After that you have to update it through their repos (i.e. Help > Check for updates) Sometimes that doesn't work either. So a fresh install is needed. | 20:06 |

| ZetaRC12 | anyone ever get an Acer Aspire One D-250 to sleep on closing? I can sleep and hibernate and restore from both states on the laptop manually. When I close the lid the backlight turns off, but the laptop never stops running. /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state only lists the state as closed, no matter if the lid is open or closed. | 20:20 |
| riyonuk | It's NAT. I've tried Bridge, but that doesn't work either. | 20:20 |
| Tm0 | @JessicaW The liveCD needs the proprietary driver. It doesn't even get me to the loading screen. I will try that link. | 20:21 |
| Simkin | alusion_: with linux you can normally do these things..... howeve.r.. ubuntu plays funny games with grub and I don't recommend you try this unless you are 'advanced' | 20:21 |
| JessicaW | riyonuk: nat should work. which vm are you using? vmware or virtualbox? | 20:21 |
| riyonuk | Vmware fusion | 20:21 |

| chaord | utusan: any harm in running that command that you suggested and see what happens? | 20:54 |

| sideup66 | does it have a switch to force it to work, and note my raid isnt booting | 21:25 |
| sideup66 | its a non boot, its meant to hold the data | 21:25 |

| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple It showed it as unistalled and available in the restricted repo | 21:59 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip} | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: all I can think is reboot, obviously you need to uncomment the line | 22:00 |
| antnash | Hey guys. Could the constant beeping I have be because I need a bigger power supply? I've got (an admittedly cheap) 500W unit driving an Intel E6600, a 512Mb geforce card and 4 HDDs. Need a bigger one? | 22:00 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: ok, im done, generating grub and rebooting | 22:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: that means it can 'see' the restricted repo since it must have fetched the restricted Packages list. try apt-get update - unless you can see that the "restricted" repo is commented out in /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:00 |
| newby | What for is the "Additional restricted drivers" in system settings? | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | Zungo: Test in what way? Note also that the grub tone will only work if your PC has a pcspkr (which may simply be a small speaker within the case, or may be part of your sound card and output via your connected normal speakers depending on the hardware). | 22:00 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: also, why kernel does not autodetect resolution? | 22:00 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple "#" stills counts as commenting correct? Ifso it's the first line in the file and it's commented out. | 22:01 |
| === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ | ||
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: correct, anything after a # is a comment | 22:01 |
| BlueEagle | newby: Some vendors release non-open-source drivers. Activating the setting will allow you to install those. | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: it tries, its udev that detects it, not the kernel | 22:01 |
| Zungo | in fedora, autodetect kernel resoultion works in fedora.... | 22:01 |
| Mycro | Hi. | 22:01 |
| Zungo | idk, how i can check? | 22:01 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: idk what could be | 22:02 |
| BluesKaj | scenic, open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire.conf ..comment the blacklists there with # in front , or delete , with root permissions | 22:02 |
| nicklas_ | hello, how much can you change the looks of unity? like, can yuo get a traditional menu icon, can you get workspace switcher in panel, and can you remove the left side panel? | 22:02 |
| Jordan_U | Zungo: What graphics card do you have? | 22:02 |
| scenic | BluesKaj, lemme try that | 22:02 |
| newby | BlueEagle, i installed nvidia-current but the utility keeps lying about "there are not proprietary drivers in use"??? | 22:02 |
| scenic | 1sec | 22:02 |
| Zungo | Jordan_U: ati radeon xpress 200: radeon drivers work fine in fedora | 22:02 |
| BlueEagle | newby: Are the drivers being used? | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: its quite trivial, i wouldn't sweat it | 22:02 |
| newby | BlueEagle, yes | 22:02 |
| BlueEagle | newby: Then you should check !bugs | 22:03 |
| BlueEagle | !bugs > newby | 22:03 |
| ubottu | newby, please see my private message | 22:03 |
| Zungo | idk, tring radeon driver here made wierd stuff.... works great in fedora.... | 22:03 |
| scenic | BluesKaj, do i need to restart? | 22:03 |
| Zungo | ...} | 22:03 |
| vossen | newby: If you want to understand my issue better, take a look at this. http://youtu.be/4hVEuwNQVv8 | 22:03 |
| BluesKaj | scenic , maybe a relogin , not sure | 22:03 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple After uncommenting it suggested I ran apt-get update I guess it's needed | 22:04 |
| Zungo | ... guys? | 22:04 |
| newby | BlueEagle, did i do sth wrong when i just installed in via cmd line apt-get install nvidia-current?? i mean what installation way would this util expect? | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: mines the same on my nvidia gpu system but i couldn't care less. The system boots | 22:04 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: yeah, but, since i first installed ubuntu i had troubles with it, fedora worked great since installed | 22:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: apt-get update fetches the latest Packages lists from the archives | 22:05 |
| dalton2345 | hello, could natty 64 bit be a problem with wireless connection, I had natty 32bit and everything was perfect | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: yes, you keep saying.... | 22:05 |
| nicklas_ | hrrm? noone? | 22:05 |
| BlueEagle | newby: No, you have already determined that the drivers are in use, so therefore the issue is with the application saying that the drivers are in use. Just out of curiousity; how did you verify that the drivers were in use? | 22:05 |
| Zungo | well. what i can do about it? | 22:06 |
| newby | BlueEagle, i loaded them manually via modprobe verified via lsmod and use gnome-shell and cinnamon with them | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: could report a bug | 22:06 |
| BlueEagle | newby: Well there you go. If it works then it works. Just file the bug on the software saying they are not in use. | 22:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zungo: have you tried adding "nomodeset" to the grub linux boot cmdline? | 22:07 |
| Zungo | IntuitiveNipple: no, why i would need it? | 22:07 |
| Zungo | because i want working graphics -.- | 22:08 |
| dalton2345 | is there problems with ubuntu 64 bit versions? | 22:08 |
| jrib | dalton2345: your question is too vague. Are *you* having a specific problem? | 22:08 |
| GRMrGecko | Booting Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 ppc install cd on my PowerMac G4, it goes black after displaying the open firmware initialization screen. | 22:08 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple This still doesn't make the package visiable. to the installer. | 22:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zungo: on mine I have this in /etc/default/grub | 22:09 |
| BlueEagle | dalton2345: Are you experiencing any problems with it? Did you check !bugs ? | 22:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zungo: # for plymouth splash on nvidia add: video=uvesafb:mode_option='1024x768-32',mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" | 22:09 |
| BlueEagle | !bugs | dalton2345 | 22:09 |
| ubottu | dalton2345: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 22:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: show me in a pastebin what "apt-cache policy nvidia-current && apt-get install nvidia-current" does | 22:09 |
| Tm0 | I can't connect VIA SSH nor can I pastebin. The best I could do is a cellphone shot if that's okay. | 22:10 |
| Zungo | IntuitiveNipple: dude, im using ati radeon xpress 200 -.- | 22:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: ahh ok ... can you type the jist of the messages for me? | 22:10 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple This I can do | 22:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zungo: sorry, thought I saw someone mentioning nvidia ... same solution can help if you want graphics splash for grub/plymouth | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: the resolution bit in the grub file amy just do it, have yyou rebooted yet? | 22:11 |
| AndreeeCZ | hi. I have this problem installing xubuntu 11.10 (same with newest). Installing via usb flash, but when I choose any option, it does nothing and gives me a blinking cursor only. Would anyone help pls? | 22:11 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ^^^^ what ActionParsnip said | 22:12 |
| === ffiene_ is now known as ffiene | ||
| === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer | ||
| Zungo | IntuitiveNipple: it was ActionParsnip's card | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | AndreeeCZ: what video chip do you use? | 22:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zungo: haha! tiredness is a killer | 22:12 |
| nicklas_ | hello? | 22:12 |
| dalton2345 | yes i have problems with internet, connection is very slow | 22:12 |
| pfifo | nicklas_, hi | 22:12 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: no, im chatting with the target system... | 22:12 |
| nicklas_ | so noone really knows the answer to my question? | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: don't you think you should...... | 22:12 |
| pfifo | nicklas_, ask it again | 22:13 |
| Zungo | nicklas_: what's ur question... | 22:13 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple It used to tell me the package name and that it was in restricted, now it does not do so. | 22:13 |
| nicklas_ | maybe noone even sees my question at all, soo flooded here | 22:13 |
| Zungo | nevermind, will reconnect back after! | 22:13 |
| Zungo | byes | 22:13 |
| nicklas_ | how much can you change the looks of unity? like, can yuo get a traditional menu icon, can you get workspace switcher in panel, and can you remove the left side panel? | 22:13 |
| AndreeeCZ | ActionParsnip: seems like the problematic GMA somthing | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nicklas_: you can't remove the left panel, you could set it to autohide and set the sensitivity really low | 22:13 |
| pfifo | nicklas_, There was just a huge lag I noticed, might have gotten lost | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | AndreeeCZ: try the boot option: nomodeset | 22:14 |
| geck0 | Hi. Ubuntu 12.04. How would I go about disable/enable of the WINDOWS key in the terminal? Thanks. | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nicklas_: the workspace switcher is default in unity.. | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | geck0: it's called Mod4 or SuperL in Linux | 22:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: long shot but how about trying "apt-get install pastebinit" then, if it is installed, you can show us what is going on directly from the bad puppy PC | 22:15 |
| nicklas_ | using sabayon and gentoo, but tired of all the work in those dists, so thinking of going back to easy to use dists, and ubuntu land is the choice for me, but need to know if you can change looks in unity first before i choose ubunt, kubuntu or xubuntu | 22:15 |
| nicklas_ | ActionParsnip: ok | 22:15 |
| geck0 | ActionParsnip, I take it that's a clue. :) So I'll have to google around looking for those clues? | 22:15 |
| nicklas_ | pfifo: ok | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut | 22:15 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts | 22:15 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple That installed | 22:15 |
| AndreeeCZ | ActionParsnip: no difference | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | geck0: could set the win key to do nothing :) | 22:15 |
| AndreeeCZ | ActionParsnip: i used .... quiet persistent nomodeset | 22:16 |
| nicklas_ | i want a panel on top, with menu and workspace switcher atleast, and docky at bottom | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | AndreeeCZ: or the safemodevga option | 22:16 |
| nicklas_ | and tired of kde, so guess it will have to be xfce then | 22:16 |
| pfifo | nicklas_, IMHO unity is crap, if you are a power user investigate gnome3/xubuntu/lubuntu | 22:16 |
| scenic | BluesKaj, doesn't seem to have done the trick... | 22:16 |
| geck0 | ActionParsnip, well its handy for unity, but it interferes with Urban Terror....and I think you know now where my priorities lie. :) Thanks tho..google hit something with super l. | 22:16 |
| scenic | and i did restart | 22:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: OK, now try this: apt-cache policy nvidia-current | pastebinit | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | nicklas_: or LXDE, or openbox / fluxbox on it's own, or awesome, or flwm | 22:16 |
| fhuicrhecuierhcu | Simple question. Is there any way to burn a disc in an Ubuntu session from a Live CD, if the drive with the Live CD is the only CD/DVD drive in the system? | 22:16 |
| Zungo | ook, im on my fedora box | 22:17 |
| Zungo | this is much different | 22:17 |
| Zungo | also | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: IRCing as root isn't wise | 22:17 |
| Zungo | anyone knows how i can switch grubs? | 22:17 |
| fhuicrhecuierhcu | It goes all wonky when I eject the Live CD during the session. Is there no way to simply load the entire CD in memory (I have 4GB RAM) and continue with that so I can insert a different CD? | 22:17 |
| nicklas_ | ive used the boxes and ratpoison, awesome etcetera, want a gui de | 22:17 |
| geck0 | fhuicrhecuierhcu, you can try loading live ubuntu to RAM then eject. | 22:17 |
| Zungo | because i been using fedora one | 22:17 |
| AndreeeCZ | ActionParsnip: no difference :). I would just like to enter the rescue mode, that would help me alot. | 22:17 |
| fhuicrhecuierhcu | geck0; ah, wonderful. How do I do that? | 22:18 |
| Zungo | and now upgrade to precise had put ubuntu's grub | 22:18 |
| Zungo | ... | 22:18 |
| nicklas_ | is there a lubuntu cahnnel? | 22:18 |
| Zungo | guys=? | 22:18 |
| Zungo | nicklas_: yeah | 22:18 |
| pfifo | nicklas_, xubuntu is almost identical to old gnome2 | 22:18 |
| AndreeeCZ | ActionParsnip: but when i select Help, i see dots being written, lots of them, fast. | 22:18 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple http://paste.ubuntu.com/980704/ here you go sir | 22:18 |
| kayve | I'm having issues with my Classic Gnome in Ubuntu 12.04 | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | AndreeeCZ: add the boot option: vga=771 | 22:18 |
| pfifo | !lubuntu | nicklas_ | 22:18 |
| ubottu | nicklas_: 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. | 22:18 |
| AndreeeCZ | ActionParsnip: no difference | 22:19 |
| Guest555 | im trying to use hdparm to adjust the IO_support settings of an external hdd however im getting the following error: HDIO_SET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument. Anyone advise what im doing wrong? | 22:19 |
| Zungo | err, some help? ubuntu installation is bad... what i can do to update it? | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | AndreeeCZ: could try the alternate ISO, it installs in text mode | 22:19 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple would you like a vi of my sources file? | 22:19 |
| pfifo | Zungo, reinstall | 22:19 |
| Zungo | pfifo: dude... why? | 22:19 |
| sw0rdfish | wow ActionParsnip I didn't know that (wicd) was the solution for the WLAN problem on 12.04 .... now all I gotta do is find a guide to make it my default network manager an stick it to the tray | 22:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: That's much better.. OK, I checked and the package IS on the archive server... so now do for me "apt-get install nvidia-current | pastebinit" | 22:19 |
| scenic | BluesKaj, i'm trying to view my camera via vlc, and i get | 22:20 |
| pfifo | Zungo, well, why not? | 22:20 |
| AndreeeCZ | ActionParsnip: i AM running from alternate CD. But when i select ANY option, i end up with blinking cursor.. | 22:20 |
| BlueEagle | dalton2345: And you believe this to be caused by Ubuntu, why? | 22:20 |
| scenic | [0x7fcff00029a8] access_dv access error: raw1394 - failed to set set port: Invalid argument.access_dv access error: failed to open a Firewire (IEEE1394) connection | 22:20 |

| Zungo | im just having serious resoultion iusses..... in ubuntu installation: | 22:20 |
| Zungo | pfifo: wtf, | 22:20 |
| ichbinder | hello. A question: I want to back up my whole home. The .wine folder is origianlly 11G huge. Now, when I did "$ cp -rL --preserve=all .* /mnt/backup" in my home, this folder grew up to over 220 GB. How could that happen and what did I do wrong? | 22:20 |
| * Zungo sets reinstall as last resort | 22:20 | |
| fhuicrhecuierhcu | Ah, never mind. It's probably faster to just install Ubuntu and then use the installation to burn | 22:20 |
| pfifo | Zungo, what exactly is the problem? | 22:21 |
| geck0 | ichbinder, consider tar.gz instead | 22:21 |
| Zungo | pfifo: kernel resolution is not autodetect like in fedora | 22:21 |
| BlueEagle | ichbinder: Just out of curiousity; how did you determine the size to 11GB to begin with? | 22:21 |
| Zungo | looks like something wrong with driver idk, | 22:21 |
| BlueEagle | ichbinder: ..and did you get the T-shirt to prove it? :) | 22:21 |
| ichbinder | geck0: the original disk has not enough space to tar it there... :-/ | 22:22 |
| Zungo | the *same* driver works great in fedora | 22:22 |
| Zungo | might be because idk... wrong? | 22:22 |
| OerHeks | Zungo fedora/gnome2 ? | 22:22 |
| geck0 | ichbinder, external HDD/thumb drive? You attempted to copy it somewhere so it's obvious you have space somewhere..... | 22:22 |
| Zungo | OerHeks: nope, fedora 16: gnome3 | 22:22 |
| geck0 | You can .tar to different place you know | 22:22 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple wouldn't i need to add a "y" in there somewhere else it'd hang forever? | 22:22 |
| ichbinder | BlueEagle: did that with "$ du --max-depth=0 -h"... I know that du is not the best way to do such things, but... I considered it okay. :-/ | 22:22 |
| dalton2345 | BlueEagle, not ubuntu, but the 64 bit version | 22:22 |
| * Zungo is banned from #fedora | 22:22 | |
| pfifo | Zungo, ok, so Debian isnt Fedora, can you dive more details? | 22:23 |
| ichbinder | geck0: yeah, sure. So instead of doing a cp I should directly tar it to there? | 22:23 |
| geck0 | ichbinder, yeah.. you want an example? | 22:23 |
| pfifo | give* | 22:23 |
| BlueEagle | dalton2345: I have Ubuntu 64-bit and my connection is peachy. :) | 22:23 |
| baki80 | man irssi | 22:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: Good point Sherlock! | 22:23 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: is there a link loop? | 22:23 |
| ichbinder | geck0: naw, think I can do that | 22:23 |
| baki80 | hi all :) | 22:23 |
| geck0 | ichbinder, if you get stuck google tar home directory.. tons of examples | 22:23 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple apt-get install nvidia-current -y | pastebinit right? | 22:24 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: maybe, not sure. It's a whine folder, so it's very well possible that something is linked to somewhere... | 22:24 |
| dalton2345 | BlueEagle, hehe thx for telling me ;) | 22:24 |
| Zungo | pfifo: well, for me, it looks like grub itself goes out of range without forcing 640 resolution, kernel doesn't change resolution like in fedora... idk what else | 22:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: yes | 22:24 |
| ichbinder | geck0: yeah, thanks! I will. | 22:24 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: there will probably be a link to your $HOME which will recurse back into .wine/ | 22:24 |
| baki80 | exit | 22:24 |
| pfifo | Zungo, your banned from fedora cause your running irc as root | 22:25 |
| baki80 | join # ubuntu | 22:25 |
| Zungo | pfifo: lol | 22:25 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple apt-get install nvidia-current -y | pastebinit Is hanging still. | 22:25 |
| geck0 | Zungo, bad bad idea btw. | 22:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: Grrrrr | 22:25 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: hm... I canceled the copying at some point... at that point I received prompts in the shell on whether I want to overwrite files in this wine folder on the destination... | 22:25 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: so I guess you are right. | 22:25 |
| BlueEagle | dalton2345: You're welcome. Now, if you are experiencing a slow network link there are ways to test why. First you should determine if the issue is bandwidth or latency related. Then you should map out the entire link and check obvious bottle necks. It also helps to have a second system to test with. | 22:26 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple Without it it's seeming to install though. | 22:26 |
| Zungo | well... what can i do? cuz ubuntu installation is a big fail in graphics terms | 22:26 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple Pastebin is causing the hanging. | 22:26 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: have you considered a more automated backup solution such as rsnapshot? | 22:26 |
| GRMrGecko | How do I install Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 on a PowerMac G4? | 22:26 |
| pfifo | Zungo, resolution issues are pretty easy to deal with, write your own xorg.conf :) | 22:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: OK ... do this: apt-get install nvidia-current | tee /tmp/install.log && cat /tmp/install.log | pastebinit | 22:26 |
| Zungo | pfifo: it's not X, it's the system | 22:26 |
| ichbinder | geck0: so, to be honest: I started a tar process... but it to sooo freaking long as the home in total is about 600GB, I canceled and wanted to copy parts of my home first, like all hidden files and folders. So I could continue later on... that's why I switched to cp. | 22:26 |
| pfifo | Zungo, so your un happy with the consoles resolution? | 22:27 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple The driving is still installing on it's own, should I just let it finish? | 22:27 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: hm, it's only a one time "backup" as I need to clear the whole disk drive.... it's a raid 5 and all and I want to change stuff etc | 22:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: Yes! | 22:27 |
| Zungo | grub goes out of range if not force 640, kernel doesn't auto change resolution | 22:27 |
| Zungo | in fedora: autodetect works | 22:27 |
| Zungo | im now using irssi in 1280x1024.... | 22:28 |
| Zungo | in ubuntu | 22:28 |
| Zungo | only 640x480 i think | 22:28 |
| Simkin | lol | 22:28 |
| Simkin | isn't irssi text only? | 22:28 |
| Zungo | pfifo: well, what can i do then? | 22:28 |
| Simkin | what are you doing. | 22:28 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: I started a tar process... but it took sooo freaking long as the home in total is about 600GB, I canceled and wanted to copy parts of my home first, like all hidden files and folders. So I could continue later on... that's why I switched to cp. | 22:28 |
| Zungo | Simkin: yeah, im running in console+ | 22:28 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zungo: It may be to do with which if any framebuffer drivers are being loaded? | 22:28 |
| Zungo | IntuitiveNipple: ugh, idk | 22:28 |
| pfifo | Zungo, switch to using gui tools | 22:28 |
| zaitzev | hi guys | 22:28 |
| Simkin | ichbinder: why nt jusst use rsync | 22:29 |
| dalton2345 | BlueEagle, thx... i think i found a solution | 22:29 |
| Simkin | ichbinder: you can run it, keep working, and rn it later to just copy what changed since last 'backup' | 22:29 |
| Zungo | umm, just, how i get working radeon driver in ubuntu? | 22:29 |
| Zungo | looks like it works badly -.- | 22:29 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: ok. Good luck. But I'd suggest you check out a more robust backup solution if you have that amount of data. And, of course, RAID is not backup | 22:29 |
| pfifo | !radeon | 22:29 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 22:29 |
| pfifo | ^ Zungo | 22:29 |
| Zungo | also, any fedora equivalent for 'update-grub' command? | 22:29 |
| BlueEagle | dalton2345: Good, laddy! | 22:30 |
| pfifo | Zungo, yeah, update-grub | 22:30 |
| Zungo | pfifo: nope, doesn't work | 22:30 |
| pfifo | Zungo, `sudo apt-get install grub-pc` | 22:30 |
| Zungo | not found | 22:30 |
| Zungo | pfifo: IT'S FEDORA, NOT UBUNTU | 22:30 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: yeah sure Raid is not backup. That wasn't the point. I need to move the data so I can split up the raid and change stuff. That's why I just want to copy my home to an external HDD and then, after installing a new linux and all, copy it back. And in best case, be able to do that in copying in multiple terms as I can't have it running for 10 hours or so | 22:31 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple It's done! Now to make it the default I want to run "nvidia-xconfig" right? | 22:31 |
| pfifo | Zungo, ohh, ask in #fedora | 22:31 |
| ichbinder | Simkin: hm... somehow true. I might consider doing that. :) | 22:31 |
| ichbinder | thanks | 22:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: If you've installed nvidia-current it should be the default now. I leave X to auto-configure everything | 22:32 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple So reboot and hope? | 22:32 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: +1 rsync | 22:32 |
| Zungo | pfifo: dude, don't know im banned from there!? WTF | 22:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: I run the nvidia driver with dual screens and Twinview .... yes, reboot and good luck! | 22:32 |
| Simkin | ichbinder: also trivial to send the backup to another machine. | 22:32 |
| Guest555 | im trying to use hdparm to adjust the IO_support settings of an external hdd however im getting the following error: HDIO_SET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument. Anyone help? | 22:32 |
| Simkin | ichbinder: which is a pretty big bonus imho! | 22:32 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple I a similiar setup :P Twinview is what I need to do? (Later on of course, today I think I've "installed" enough.) | 22:33 |
| Simkin | Guest555: sounds like your drive doesn't support it. | 22:33 |
| ichbinder | Simkin, mcphail: ok, a question I long didn't dare to ask and might be able to search for... does rsync store the information on file differences somewhere and if so, where? somewhere on destination? | 22:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: Yes, in nvidia-x-settings enable the 2nd screen by setting it from disabled to Twinview and then set its position relative to your primary screen | 22:34 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: it doesn't store diffs | 22:34 |
| Simkin | ichbinder: you can tell it to. but i dunno why you would want to. | 22:34 |
| kontagious | hello, when i updated my ubuntu my wireless stopped working. can someone help me out? thanks | 22:34 |
| NeedInterwebz | Hey guys, can anyone help me remedy a dns lookup failure? | 22:35 |
| ichbinder | mcphail, Simkin: so each time, it compares all files in dest with all files in source? | 22:35 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple It started without a UI (TTY1). | 22:35 |
| rakshasa | Can anyone tell me how to install the Intel 12.02 graphics package, it contains support for the Intel HD graphics 3000 which I need | 22:35 |
| Simkin | ichbinder: yup | 22:35 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: it compares quick hashes of the files | 22:35 |
| Simkin | ichbinder: i have no idea how it does it so fast | 22:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: you mean after GRUB the screen was blank? | 22:36 |
| Simkin | ichbinder: but it does. | 22:36 |
| scenic | i'm looking for a solution to stream via internet from a firewire capture card, vlc not working, and google not helping. | 22:36 |
| JessicaW | Can anyone recommend a good backup program for server that's incremental and backs up on the fly? preferably the whole partition? | 22:36 |
| ichbinder | mcphail, Simkin: ah, ok. So with hashes... als wondered how it could be so fast, given the bottle neck of I/O and the number of hundreds of thousands of files | 22:36 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple I may just be the greatest idiot ever to live, please allow me two minutes to bash my head and check something. | 22:36 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: it is a clever piece of software | 22:37 |
| Guest555 | thanks for replying simkin, im trying to enable 16bit (-c0) vs 32bit which is what it has been set to as default but it keeps throwing up that error | 22:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: Oh I know that feeling about twice a day! | 22:37 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple I think I may have installed Ubuntu-USB instead of UbuntuDesktop | 22:37 |
| Gape | Hello, when gddrescue is used to backup a partition, it copies empty parts of it as well? | 22:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0 :O | 22:38 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: honestly - have a look at rsnapshot. It uses rsync to prepare incremental backups and hard-links them to save space. | 22:38 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple I may cry if that's the case. | 22:38 |
| Gape | I'm copying a 100GB partition where only 50GB is used and it looks like it's already at 70GB :/ | 22:38 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: I should? even for a one time copy like this here? | 22:38 |
| rakshasa | Can anyone tell me how to install the Intel 12.02 graphics package, it contains support for the Intel HD graphics 3000 which I need, its really urgent since my graphics card is not detected thus I am unable to set monitor setting | 22:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: No reason for it not be the full desktop experience though, the USB installers run Live or install desktop | 22:39 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple I'm trying to "startx" and nothing is running. | 22:39 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: why not? Your 1 time copy might become a valuable backup strategy in the future. At the very least consider rsync | 22:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: do "sudo service lightdm start" | 22:40 |
| kontagious | hello, when i updated my ubuntu my wireless stopped working. can someone help me out? thanks | 22:40 |
| NeedInterwebz | Hey everyone, if anyone could help me with some network issues (they're probably simple for you guys) that would be greatly appreciated | 22:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: I am assuming you're using precise? | 22:40 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: I knew rsync before, just never considered it an offline backup tool like here... :-/ | 22:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Explain your DNS failure | 22:40 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: and thanks, rsnapshot is new to me, I'll have a look! | 22:40 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple Yes and one moment, just allowing root access | 22:40 |
| NeedInterwebz | Sure | 22:41 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/217 | 22:41 |
| NeedInterwebz | Essentially there's a home network that I can connect to no trouble on my windows side | 22:41 |
| ksokhna | hi | 22:41 |
| JessicaW | Can anyone recommend a good backup program for server that's incremental and backs up on the fly? preferably the whole partition? | 22:41 |
| NeedInterwebz | but on ubuntu it has dns lookup failure, and I'm not really sure as to why | 22:41 |
| NeedInterwebz | and it's not the 12.04 update because I had wireless working on a different network after the update | 22:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: how is the Ubuntu PC connected to the local area network? Wired or Wireless? | 22:42 |
| NeedInterwebz | wireless | 22:42 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple Service is not recognized. :/ | 22:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Does the network manager applet (top right of the screen) list the WiFi network when the drop-down list appears after you click the icon? | 22:42 |
| NeedInterwebz | Yeah, and it says it's connected to it no problems | 22:43 |
| Gape | How would I easily backup whole partitions, but only the 'used' parts of it? I'm trying to backup my old windows/ubuntu installs as they don't boot anymore, I tried using ddrescue but for some reason it copies empty space as well. If i try to just copy, I get some errors about links. | 22:43 |
| kontagious | my network manager does not list wireless connections | 22:43 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: how "on-the-fly" do you need? | 22:43 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple At this point I'm assuming the problem is I don't have X or a WM/DE installed, I'm gonna quickly fix that | 22:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: I'm thinking you installed Ubuntu Server from the Alternate installer or the Minimal install - that would explain the missing GUI and so forth | 22:43 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: that article is nice! looks really convenient! | 22:43 |
| ichbinder | mcphail: thank you!!! | 22:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" | 22:43 |
| mcphail | ichbinder: good luck | 22:43 |
| zykotic10 | IntuitiveNipple: server doesn't come with a GUI by default | 22:44 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: I'm trying to avoid shutting down the server. I know that's hard but, rsync flips out when you try to copy an entire 1.2tb partition. | 22:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | zykotic10: And he ain't got one :D | 22:44 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple Just checked for LAMP, nothing there so likely not server must not have selected anything... That command seems to be working. Thank you for all your help so far man! I really appreiate it! My UUB wasn't much help this time so this community was really welcoming and nice | 22:45 |
| mongo | Gape: ntfsclone will make a sparse image, but you need to make sure to use copy tools that understand sparse files or it will grow when you move it | 22:45 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: sorry - I haven't had any problems with rsync on large partitions but the largest I've used is 750GB | 22:45 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: I'm just not finding any decent alternatives. everything wants to you reboot and do it from livecd | 22:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: We all make these mistakes ... as long a we learn from them! | 22:45 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: I tried dd too. | 22:45 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: what "flipping out" happens? | 22:45 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple Lesson learned. Always make sure my motherboard has onboard graphics. :P | 22:46 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: I get all sorts of errors. even when I run as root. | 22:46 |
| kontagious | hello, when i updated my ubuntu my wireless stopped working. can someone help me out? thanks | 22:46 |
| scenic | my firewire card is recognized by my 12.04, but i can't see any video :( | 22:46 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: mostly permission errors. access denied. | 22:46 |
| scenic | i tried via kino, and via dvgrab -i | 22:46 |
| nictrasavios_ | join #bash | 22:46 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: have you exluded it from recursing into special files/directories like /dev ? | 22:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Does all DNS resolution fail? or just some sites? | 22:47 |
| NeedInterwebz | all of it. and actually I think it's deeper than that | 22:47 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: doing that now. there's a lot of those though... | 22:47 |
| NeedInterwebz | the icon says it's connected, but I can't even successfully ping the gateway... | 22:47 |
| Gape | mongo: Hmm ntfsclone doesn't clone empty part of partition? | 22:48 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: and I was TRYING to be lazy.... ;) | 22:48 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: there aren't as many as you think. And when you get it configured once it will work forever ;) | 22:48 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: no reason dd shouldn't work, though... | 22:48 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: can you go to a terminal so we can type some commands to find out? | 22:48 |
| NeedInterwebz | sure, already there | 22:48 |
| Guest555 | im trying to use hdparm to adjust the IO_support settings of an external hdd however im getting the following error: HDIO_SET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument. I'm trying to enable 16bit from 32bit. Anyone help? | 22:48 |
| bcuraboy | hi guys. need some help.the screen of my laptop goes black after a while.it happens in bth sessions: mine and in guest session | 22:49 |
| JonEdney | bcuraboy, is it turning off, or just going black? | 22:49 |
| bcuraboy | what could be the reason?the energy settings are all ok | 22:49 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: I was going to dd the entire partition but I read that linux couldn't be running if you did that. | 22:49 |
| bcuraboy | just going black | 22:49 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: do you get anything from this other than the "lo..." line? ifconfig | grep -B 1 'inet addr' | 22:49 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: I suppose it might stutter if the filesystem is written to as it runs | 22:50 |
| NeedInterwebz | I did get wlan0 | 22:50 |
| JonEdney | bcuraboy, Check in the System Settings for your display settings, is it set to go off? | 22:50 |
| pappijo | Hi everyone! I've just installed step (physics simulator from kdedu) and when I run it I get this strange message: step: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkhtml.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon11VideoPlayer5eventEP6QEvent PLEASE HELP ME!!!! | 22:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Can you show me what "ifconfig wlan0" shows? | 22:50 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: rsync is your best bet. And it is better to point it at what you need to backup rather than excluding things you don't | 22:50 |
| NeedInterwebz | yeah, I'll have to type it out so it'll be a second | 22:51 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: and see my /lastlog for a pointer about rsnapshot which I _love_ | 22:51 |
| JessicaW | Personally, I'd like to backup everything. In case of emergency, we could just drop on the image and keep going. | 22:51 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: yeah, I was reading on that. kind of like grsync or rdiff right? | 22:52 |
| bcuraboy | JonEdney, what u mean?in the monitors or in the nvidia settings? | 22:52 |
| NeedInterwebz | Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:6a:39:8d:16 inet addr:192.168.1.104 BCast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 22:52 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: special files are created on-the-fly. There is no point backing them up and they wouldn't be included in an offline dd image anyway | 22:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: If you have a USB stick you could use it to save output to and shuttle between the naughty PC and this one :) | 22:52 |
| JonEdney | bcuraboy, Shouldnt have anything to do with your GFX card settings (at least I would assume). | 22:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: ok, that's enough for me | 22:52 |
| bcuraboy | i also have created a backup of my files a few days ago when everything was fine | 22:52 |
| NeedInterwebz | Haha yeah, I don't have one atm >.> that's good though | 22:53 |
| bcuraboy | but i've restored the files and the problem persists | 22:53 |
| JonEdney | bcuraboy, Interesting. | 22:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: ok... now check if this gives anything: ip route show | grep default | 22:53 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: good point. | 22:53 |
| JonEdney | bcuraboy, 12.04? | 22:53 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: let me look into rsnapshot some more. | 22:53 |
| bcuraboy | ya | 22:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: It should report a default via A.B.C.D wlan0 .... | 22:53 |
| kontagious | hello, when i updated my ubuntu my wireless stopped working. can someone help me out? thanks | 22:53 |
| bcuraboy | the time of the black screen is about 5 minutes | 22:53 |
| NeedInterwebz | Sure does | 22:53 |
| NeedInterwebz | default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static | 22:54 |
| NeedInterwebz | which is the ip of my gateway | 22:54 |
| JonEdney | bcuraboy, So when you move your mouse or something, it doesn't come back up? | 22:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Great! | 22:54 |
| bcuraboy | it comes back | 22:54 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: i have heard good things about rdiff but have never used it | 22:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: can you ping 192.18.1.1 ? | 22:54 |
| pappijo | Hi everyone! I've just installed step (physics simulator from kdedu) and when I run it I get this strange message: step: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkhtml.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon11VideoPlayer5eventEP6QEvent PLEASE HELP ME!!!! | 22:54 |
| NeedInterwebz | I can't | 22:54 |
| NeedInterwebz | Destination Host Unreachable | 22:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: haha! | 22:54 |
| JonEdney | bcuraboy, I'm stumped. Maybe someone else may have an idea. | 22:55 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: OK ... another command for you in a mo when I've tested it here... | 22:55 |
| NeedInterwebz | sure thing, I appreciate it! | 22:55 |
| bcuraboy | the whole story: i had installed x-screensaver and wallch | 22:55 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: the other option is to run your server in a virtual machine and make snapshots of that. I _think_ vmware can do that when the guest is online | 22:55 |
| bcuraboy | but i think i've removed all the entries | 22:55 |
| moreisee | I had my laptop hooked up to an external monitor, with it set as default (laptop monitor off). Now when I try to boot, it flashes the purple ubuntu screen before dissapearing (I assume it went to where the monitor would be if it were plugged in), I don't have access to an external monitor at the moment, any way to change the default back? | 22:56 |
| bcuraboy | i've looked in my hidden files and in home directory for config files of it | 22:56 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: vm could not handle the processing this machine does. | 22:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: ip route show | grep '192\.168\.1' ... if you can type the results leaving out things like proto kernel scopr link metric to save time | 22:56 |
| bcuraboy | at this point there's no more wallch and x-screensaver | 22:56 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: 16 processors, 512GB ram. | 22:56 |
| JessicaW | mcphail: for crunching DNA/RNA sequences | 22:57 |
| szal | 16 processors? | 22:57 |
| NeedInterwebz | so the same ip route line from last time | 22:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | moreisee: from a terminal, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.mybackup | 22:57 |
| mcphail | JessicaW: nice | 22:57 |
| cypher-neo | I have a question. When I turned on my laptop, the mouse driver loaded, but not the touchpad driver. Is there a way to load that driver, without needing to restart the computer? | 22:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: yes but we're after different info | 22:57 |
| platinum | hey everyone, where can I ask a really newbie question about ubuntu server? | 22:57 |
| NeedInterwebz | and then 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 src 192.168.1.104 | 22:57 |
| lorph | has anyone noticed that crontjobs on @reboot start 2 minutes later in 12.04? | 22:58 |
| lorph | or is it not supposed to do that | 22:58 |
| moreisee | IntuitiveNipple, cool, I'll give that a shot, thanks. | 22:58 |
| azend | platinum: here | 22:58 |
| platinum | azend, thanks. | 22:58 |
| mcphail | lorph: seriously?? | 22:58 |
| azend | or your loco hub | 22:58 |
| lorph | mcphail: yes that's what i am seeing | 22:58 |
| * mcphail panics | 22:58 | |
| lorph | i upgraded 3 of my servers to ubuntu 12.04 and the cronjobs were all delayed a few minutes | 22:58 |
| bcuraboy | is there other way to restore my ubuntu to the original state when i installed? | 22:59 |
| lorph | so I thought they didn't run | 22:59 |
| === ejc74 is now known as ejcweb | ||
| mcphail | lorph: I'll need to check that when I'm home at the weekend. Thanks for the heads-up | 22:59 |
| lorph | mcphail: maybe i did something wrong, that's why i'm asking | 22:59 |
| platinum | okay here goes. I set up a ubuntu server 64 bit on an IBM xServer like. 6 years ago. Now I want to upgrade, but found you can only do fresh install when it's that old. I have not touched the server since I set it up and forgot what I did. Is there any way to keep settings (hostname, apache setup, ip addresses and such)? | 22:59 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: just thinking here ... head hurts :D | 23:00 |
| NeedInterwebz | Haha it's all good. Mine too, otherwise I wouldn't have come here... | 23:00 |
| NeedInterwebz | self imposed F for my compsci major -.-' | 23:00 |
| ellis | platinum: do you remember what/if any settings you made when you set up the server? | 23:00 |
| mcphail | lorph: I can't check on this machine as it's on the previous LTS. But my server at home brings up various things @reboot which need to run then | 23:00 |
| bcuraboy | is there other way to restore my ubuntu to the original state when i installed? | 23:01 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: cat /etc/resolv.conf what shows? | 23:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: The only thing I can think of right now is that there are firewall rules either on 192.168.1.1 OR on the Ubuntu PC itself that are denying all connections | 23:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: He can't even ping the gateway that gave the PC the DHCP assignment | 23:01 |
| platinum | ellis: it acts as a firewall and proxy and has squid, apache2, and squidGuard. other than that, no. The thing has worked like a dream so I haven't messed with it. Also I don't have much linux experience. :) | 23:01 |
| NeedInterwebz | it's got "nameserver 127.0.0.1 search socal.rr.com" | 23:02 |
| lorph | mcphail: i was able to login to the server and the @reboot jobs didn't run until 2 minutes after boot. I suppose they still started after reboot, but i don't see the need for the long delay | 23:02 |
| scenic | can i find a log of this irc? | 23:02 |
| foobar123452432 | How do I check | 23:02 |
| ellis | <platinum> why the need to upgrade then? :) | 23:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Have you ever customised the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 23:02 |
| foobar123452432 | to see if hardware acceleration is enabled | 23:02 |
| foobar123452432 | ? | 23:02 |
| foobar123452432 | Anyone? | 23:02 |
| lorph | I accidentally started the programs manually and ended up running 2 copies of each program | 23:02 |
| NeedInterwebz | no, should I? lol | 23:02 |
| a8s0lut0 | anyone available to chat about problems i'm having with an out of the box 12.04 mythbuntu setup? | 23:02 |
| Flannel | !log | scenic | 23:03 |
| ubottu | scenic: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 23:03 |
| platinum | ellis, I know.. I have been doing the "if it aint broke" for many years, but it's running like 6.04 or something and I do worry about the lack of updates/support. I'd like to go to 12.04 LTS. | 23:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: That resolv.conf should read, I think, "nameserver 192.168.1.1" | 23:03 |
| scenic | thx Flannel | 23:03 |
| mcphail | lorph: I'll check it out. Has anyone filed a bug? | 23:03 |
| NeedInterwebz | It says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN" | 23:03 |
| NeedInterwebz | So... | 23:03 |
| NeedInterwebz | lol | 23:03 |
| ellis | platinum: yeah It's a good time to change since it's right after the release of an LTS version | 23:03 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: try to edit | 23:03 |
| foobar123452432 | :( | 23:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Well, if that file had been touched it is possible that the assignments aren't coming from the network but from that file, and they could be wrong. You said it worked on another network ... maybe that was the other network's settings... | 23:04 |
| NeedInterwebz | k let me copy the original there first | 23:04 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf | 23:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Do you get anything from "cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep wlan" ? | 23:04 |
| platinum | ellis, yep that's what I was thinking. :) but it sure would save time if I could transfer some of my settings and not try to do the whole thing from scratch again. And I'd like it to be as transparent to the users as possible. | 23:04 |
| NeedInterwebz | I don't | 23:04 |
| ellis | platinum: If you have an external HD that's big enough to clone your filesystem, it's incredibly easy to do that. So clone the files, reformat your computer then just copy settings/files from your clone as and when you find things that need configuring | 23:04 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: is not a problem it will be recreate to default | 23:04 |
| todor | has anyone had luck with enabling dm-multipath during 12.04 installation ? | 23:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: That's good :) Do as filo recommends now | 23:05 |
| ellis | platinum: would result in system down time though, if that's critical | 23:05 |
| === lance_ is now known as Guest31598 | ||
| mongo | todor: best to just configure it after the install | 23:05 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: so cat /etc/network/interfaces can help us | 23:05 |
| rakshasa | Can anyone tell me how I go about installing the ntel 12.02 graphics package | 23:05 |
| NeedInterwebz | okay I ran that command | 23:06 |
| todor | mongo: i am trying to do SAN booting so my root is on a mpath device too | 23:06 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: try ping | 23:06 |
| platinum | Hi ellis, I can do this over a weekend so some downtime is OK. I have a usb drive I use for backups, but unfortunately it uses smbfs for the backups because the server wouldn't boot with the drive plugged in. Would that be an issue? | 23:06 |
| NeedInterwebz | still unreachable | 23:06 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: well cat /etc/network/interfaces | 23:06 |
| bcuraboy | how can i revert my ubuntu 12.04 to the original state of installation? | 23:07 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: can you ping -c3 localhost? | 23:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: try pinging my server IP: ping 109.74.197.122 | 23:07 |
| NeedInterwebz | auto lo iface lo inet loopback | 23:07 |
| NeedInterwebz | that's the interfaces | 23:07 |
| mongo | bcuraboy: reinstall | 23:07 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: ok | 23:07 |
| NeedInterwebz | I can ping localhost | 23:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: that's a good 'interfaces' files, not been touched | 23:07 |
| bcuraboy | and my files?lost? | 23:07 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: uhmmm | 23:07 |
| mongo | bcuraboy: well those files didn't come installed | 23:08 |
| NeedInterwebz | your server is unreachable | 23:08 |
| ellis | platinum: as long as you can copy files back and forth from the drive, then that's all that matters. All you're really doing is copying every single file from the computer over to the drive, then you can selectively copy important ones back again once you're on 12.04 | 23:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Do you have a network cable you can connect to the router with? | 23:08 |
| mongo | bcuraboy: copy those files off onto a usb drive | 23:08 |
| NeedInterwebz | Hmm I'm not sure. I just flew out so all my stuff is back home | 23:08 |
| ellis | platinum: check this out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Full_System_Backup_with_rsync | 23:08 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: cat /etc/hosts | 23:08 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: and hostname too | 23:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: try this: "sudo dhclient wlan0" and the check the log-file to see if the PC received a DHCPOFFER with "tail /var/log/syslog" | 23:09 |
| NeedInterwebz | hosts: ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ip6-localnet ip6-mcastprefix ip6-allnodes ip6-allrouters | 23:10 |
| NeedInterwebz | hostname: ubuntu | 23:10 |
| NeedInterwebz | sorry that typing took forever lol | 23:10 |
| platinum | ellis, yes, okay that's great I just hope my config files will work with my newer versions and that I can find where they go :) Thanks for the article, I will try rsync, currently my backups are done with tar. | 23:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: You would expect to see a DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPREQUEST, DHCPOFFER, DHCPACK | 23:10 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: only first 3 lines cat /etc/hosts | head -n 3 | 23:10 |
| platinum | ellis, will I be able to copy some file that sets a runlevel (I think that's what it called) where there is no desktop? That's how it is currently configured. | 23:10 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: but are you in a live session? | 23:11 |
| NeedInterwebz | what do you mean live session? | 23:11 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: live cd | 23:11 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: booted from a live CD or USB stick | 23:11 |
| NeedInterwebz | nah, installed partition | 23:11 |
| filo1234 | ok | 23:11 |
| NeedInterwebz | and the first 3 lines are | 23:11 |
| NeedInterwebz | localhost | 23:11 |
| NeedInterwebz | ubuntu.ubuntu-domain ubuntu | 23:11 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: don't forget to try the dhclient and check the log | 23:12 |
| NeedInterwebz | and then the localhost, loopback, and localnet ip6's | 23:12 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: so wrong IMHO | 23:12 |
| NeedInterwebz | It did receive a dhcpoffer | 23:12 |
| NeedInterwebz | and acknowledge | 23:12 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple It is done! Thank you great sir! | 23:12 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: so edit /etc/hosts | 23:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: OK ... did it get to the DHCPACK ? | 23:13 |
| engammalsko | Can someone please help me send a mail from the command line? | 23:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Tm0: Fantastic! well done | 23:13 |
| NeedInterwebz | Yes | 23:13 |
| filo1234 | wait | 23:13 |
| ellis | platinum: the benefit of rsync is that it's incredibly stupid. All it does it create a mirror image of your files which you can sift through, no need to unpack/compress etc. As for the runlevel, you'll have to ask some server gurus that, I don't know so much when it comes to Server setups. If you just want a computer without a graphic environment (command line), that'd be easy enough to do | 23:13 |
| NeedInterwebz | do I need the dhcp stuff in my hosts? | 23:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: OK ,lets go back to firewall issues. Have this PC had a firewall configured on it restrictively? UFW is there by default | 23:13 |
| NeedInterwebz | Nope, standard install | 23:13 |
| ellis | platinum: you wouldn't even need to change anything unless you wanted to, all Linux boxes can drop to the command line by just pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1/F2/F3/etc | 23:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: No you don't need that DHCP stuff, that just proved the PC is talking to the router and getting given the IP address | 23:14 |
| NeedInterwebz | alright | 23:14 |
| NeedInterwebz | Why on earth would I not be able to ping it if it's handing me dhcp | 23:14 |
| NeedInterwebz | wtf | 23:14 |
| Tm0 | @IntuitiveNipple Thank you for all of your help today sir! I could not have done it without you! | 23:14 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/980783/ | 23:14 |
| ellis | IntuitiveNipple: quality username | 23:14 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: edit the first 2 lines on /etc/hosts | 23:14 |
| platinum | ellis, yes I have been reading the article about rsync and it looks like it will work really well for what I would need. An exact copy would be absolutely wonderful. I do prefer that the server boots to a console though. Makes it easier for me since all the server stuff I do seems to use command line anyway. | 23:15 |
| engammalsko | I've been trying to fix things the whole 2 last days. Please I really need help with mail configuration. I've tried a lot but I just get timeout. | 23:15 |

| platinum | ellis, I am sure there are howtos on line since I have figured it out once before. | 23:15 |
| NeedInterwebz | isn't that already essentially what it is? | 23:15 |
| NeedInterwebz | I just left out the numbers lol I guess that's my bad | 23:15 |
| platinum | ellis, thank you very much for your help. I just need to figure out how I configured my RAID1 and partitions. | 23:15 |
| NeedInterwebz | the only difference is "ubuntu.ubuntu-domain ubuntu" vs "ubuntu ubuntu" | 23:16 |

| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: as long as you have 127.0.0.1 in there | 23:16 |
| NeedInterwebz | yeah I have that and the 127.0.1.1 | 23:16 |
| ellis | platinum: yes I expect so. Uninstalling any graphic components should be easy enough. Don't even mention RAID to me haha, bad memories. no problem | 23:16 |
| sw0rdfish | in order to make wicd my default net manager I should remove network-manager-gnome right? | 23:16 |

| filo1234 | and put ubuntu | 23:17 |
| platinum | ellis thank you and have a good evening. | 23:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: did you try ping-ing my server? ping 109.74.197.122 | 23:17 |
| NeedInterwebz | yeah it didn't work | 23:17 |
| ellis | platinum: you too | 23:17 |
| sw0rdfish | ? | 23:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: it could be your router has icmp replies blocked | 23:17 |

| NeedInterwebz | and it's a standard install of the router, and linksys software doesn't do taht by default | 23:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: ok ... how about tracepath 109.74.197.122 ... this might get as far as your router ... you can break it by pressing Ctrl+C | 23:18 |
| NeedInterwebz | that* | 23:18 |

| === anonymous is now known as Guest78164 | ||
| EBB | Can someone help me with nvidia graphics | 23:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: The only other thing besides a firewall here is a bad route or ARP cache poisoning | 23:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: OK ... so it is looking to be local | 23:19 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: sudo iptables -F | 23:19 |
| NeedInterwebz | yeah.. I just don't understand how the local error can go from working yesterday to not working today | 23:19 |
| NeedInterwebz | that returns nothing filo | 23:19 |
| brightsparks | Hi. I'm having trouble with a USB keyboard. At first it wouldn't work in boot up but would work after the system started. Now it seems to work in bootup but not after the system has started. Any solutions? Thanks. | 23:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: working on the same network? | 23:19 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: ok try ping | 23:20 |
| NeedInterwebz | no, different network. but if it was local why would it matter | 23:20 |
| NeedInterwebz | what should I ping? | 23:20 |
| jduranboger | !ping | 23:20 |
| filo1234 | router | 23:20 |
| ubottu | another contentless ping... sigh... | 23:20 |

| filo1234 | ok | 23:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | brightsparks: The motherboard's BIOS settings for "Legacy USB devices" needs to be enabled, and USB enabled generally too. sometimes those settings get reset | 23:21 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: did you connected throu some proxy? | 23:21 |
| renode | anyone have a working tor/vidalia setup link? | 23:21 |
| filo1234 | yesterday I mean ^ | 23:21 |
| NeedInterwebz | nope, the network was remembered from the last time I was here and it was working fine | 23:21 |
| thomasd | ok i have an issue a program called udevd started using 100% of my processer and made everything start running slowly | 23:21 |
| NeedInterwebz | just found it in the gui and entered the password | 23:21 |
| NeedInterwebz | everything was standard | 23:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: If it worked on a different network then the problem here may be the router you are connecting to.... is it a public router or one you control? does it have any Wifi hotspot running on it? | 23:22 |
| NeedInterwebz | one I control, and I'm using it right now on this windows machine lol | 23:22 |
| filo1234 | so are you connected on your own network??? | 23:22 |
| brightsparks | IntuitiveNipple: yeah thanks. I have been switching those settings on and off to see if it would make a difference. But it doesn't seem to. | 23:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: OK, that helps! | 23:22 |
| NeedInterwebz | yes | 23:22 |
| NeedInterwebz | Yeah, when I switch my partitions on the problem laptop the windows partition connects | 23:22 |
| NeedInterwebz | so it's something in ubuntu | 23:22 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: btw wich ip has windows? | 23:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | brightsparks: Usually "legacy USB" means "available at boot" and all others refer to enabling USB for the operating system to find | 23:23 |
| NeedInterwebz | what are you asking filo? | 23:23 |
| NeedInterwebz | sorry | 23:23 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: ip address of windows now | 23:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: you thinking collision? | 23:23 |
| NeedInterwebz | 192.168.1.100 | 23:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: ahh no then! | 23:23 |
| filo1234 | lol nope | 23:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: I'm thinking mice ! | 23:24 |
| filo1234 | :) | 23:24 |
| brightsparks | IntuitiveNipple: ok didn't know that. The other setting is for legacy MS setting whatever that is but like say both are on. | 23:24 |
| NeedInterwebz | I'm just confused | 23:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: I think a mouse has chewed through the network cable you don't have :p | 23:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: You need a coffee | 23:24 |
| NeedInterwebz | ;) I wish it was that easy lol | 23:24 |
| thomasd | anyone know what a program called udevd does and why it would be running busy like it was stuck in an infinite loop | 23:24 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: did you edited /etc/hosts early | 23:24 |
| filo1234 | ? | 23:24 |
| NeedInterwebz | no, I can go ahead and do that now | 23:25 |
| brightsparks | IntuitiveNipple I've done an lshw? And as far as I can tell neither the mouse or the keyboard is listed?? | 23:25 |
| nrdb | I am trying to change default permission for gui programs in gnome... I used umask in ./bashrc for the cli commands.. but this doesn't affect gui programs :-( ... gedit is still generating files with rw-r--r-- permissions :-( ... how do I do this? | 23:25 |
| wormmd | I had a topic to discuss, but I was just informed it was dinner time. I'll be back shortly. | 23:25 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: ubuntu instead domain | 23:25 |
| NeedInterwebz | yeah I just did it | 23:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | brightsparks: Are they USB devices? or older PS/2 style ? | 23:25 |
| NeedInterwebz | ping router, still dhu | 23:25 |
| * filo1234 call a priest | 23:26 | |
| NeedInterwebz | I prefer the flying spaghetti monster :p | 23:26 |
| brightsparks | IntuitiveNipple: the ps2 keyboard works fine no problem The USB mouse also works fine. Just the USB keyboard that is playing up. | 23:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: filo1234 Summary: DHCPOFFER/DHCPAACK works so we have UDP. wlan0 has an IP. iptables -f has flushed any firewall rules. it takes me back to the routing table even though we checked that for default route and gateway route earlier | 23:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | brightsparks: Is it connected directly to the PC or via a hub? have you tried it in a different USB port on the PC? | 23:27 |
| NeedInterwebz | Yessir. that's all right | 23:27 |
| NeedInterwebz | if it's any point of interest | 23:27 |
| NeedInterwebz | sitting in ipconfig on windows | 23:28 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: route -n | 23:28 |
| imbezol | nrdb: are you able to just change your homedir to deny access to others? | 23:28 |
| NeedInterwebz | there are three dns servers for some reason | 23:28 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: have you checked the logs for anything suspicious being reported? | 23:28 |
| NeedInterwebz | No, I wouldn't know what to check | 23:28 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: dns isn't important now | 23:28 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: "ls -lstr /var/log/" (Elle Sss - Elle str ...) that will list log files with most recently changed last | 23:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: then look at them using "tail -n 40 /var/log/<filename>" | 23:29 |
| NeedInterwebz | what file should I look for? | 23:29 |
| charlie | hi | 23:29 |

| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: route -n what does show above Gateway? | 23:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: look at the last 40 or so lines in each using "tail -n 40 <filename> | less" (less is the pager. Press Q to exit it, use cursors and page-up/down to move) | 23:32 |
| NeedInterwebz | above is just Kernel IP Routing table line | 23:32 |
| brightsparks | IntuitiveNipple: Aha. That would seem to make sense- that has been puzzlingl me. Should I try this ? "psmouse proto=imps save as root in /etc/modprobe.d/ The mouse problem then will be OK | 23:32 |

| MiJyn | anyone has a clue? | 23:33 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: follow IntuitiveNipple suggestion and look into logs | 23:33 |
| NeedInterwebz | where are the log files? | 23:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: /var/log/ | 23:34 |
| brightsparks | IntuitiveNipple: pskeyboard proto=imps ?? | 23:34 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz: so a stupid test.... try reboot router or switch and pc | 23:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: "ls -ltr /var/log/" | 23:34 |
| NeedInterwebz | so I got the 40 from auth.log | 23:35 |
| NeedInterwebz | the most recent one | 23:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: Best idea yet ... I recall seeing a Linksys router that would just stop responding to some PCs | 23:35 |
| NeedInterwebz | If it is a router restart | 23:35 |
| NeedInterwebz | omg | 23:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: auth.log will mostly report your sudo commands and so on | 23:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: try it!!! | 23:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz: Then I can go to bed happy :D | 23:35 |

| imbezol | nrdb: guess what i was asking is why are you worried about it? If you set your home directory to 700 then nobody can access the files even if they are rw to other | 23:36 |
| brightsparks | IntuitiveNipple: can you tell me if this will be correct ? "pskeyboard proto=imps" | 23:36 |
| imbezol | nrdb: in some cases people need to leave their homedir accessible to other and then that wouldn't work. but if you don't have that need, then setting the homedir to 700 will negate the issue | 23:37 |

| nrdb | imbezol, that does what I want... I thought the permissions of the file took precedence! | 23:42 |
| trazplan | hi | 23:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: Errors or warnings are usually flagged as such in the logs | 23:43 |
| trazplan | hola | 23:43 |
| melodie | hi | 23:43 |
| trazplan | this is my firt time in a chat... | 23:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: I'm sure there's a clue there in those logs, you need to find it! | 23:43 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | so could I just grep the logs for errors | 23:43 |
| imbezol | nrdb: nope. if you set a directories permissions to be 0 for other, then nobody can even get in there to see what files are present | 23:43 |
| Robr3rd | Running Morrowind via WINE, and when I Load Game or select New Game, the application locks up and I receive this error: "Internal errors: Invalid parameters received" Suggestions? (#wine is invite-only apparently) | 23:43 |
| zykotic10 | Robr3rd: try wine's channel #winehq | 23:44 |
| Robr3rd | zykotic10, Ah. #winehq. Gotcha. ;) | 23:44 |
| imbezol | nrdb: the x is to allow them to enter, the r is to let them see what's in there, and the w would let them create or modify things there | 23:44 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | okay, there's quite a few errors | 23:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: not that simple unfortunately - the Linux kernel hasn't agreed on structured log formats yet | 23:44 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | oh. well shit | 23:44 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | it doesn't look like there are any errors for the network stuff | 23:45 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | well hmm | 23:46 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | it goes "wlan0: link becomes ready" and then immediately after "wlan0: no IPv6 routers present" | 23:46 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: so hard to do these things remotely... often the solution comes from intuition | 23:46 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | yeah, indeed | 23:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: that's fine - if you have no IPv6 router | 23:47 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | k | 23:47 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | well I'm baffled | 23:47 |
| nrdb | imbezol, just found that out.... thanks... | 23:47 |
| imbezol | np | 23:47 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: iwconfig wlan0 | grep -i mode | 23:48 |
| nrdb | imbezol, but you can cd direct to a directory within the the protected home directory. | 23:48 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | mode:managed frequency: 2.437 GHz Access Point: C0:C1:C0:05:1E:FC | 23:48 |
| filo1234 | pfff ok | 23:49 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: I'm trying to think of a way to do a UDP ping ... we know DHCP works ... but can't download hping! | 23:49 |
| filo1234 | lol | 23:49 |
| filo1234 | IntuitiveNipple: do you have a dualboot in that pc? | 23:50 |
| filo1234 | hem | 23:50 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: | 23:50 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | Yes | 23:50 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: windows? | 23:50 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | Yessir | 23:50 |
| hash | was up | 23:51 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: and.... windows is shutdown or hibernate/suspend? | 23:51 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | well it's from grub, so it would be shutdown I guess | 23:51 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | whatever grub does when you boot the other one :P | 23:51 |
| burububburu | hi all! I'm using 10.04.4: how can I get the latest version (the 12.04 version) of only the programs I wnat to be update? Ex: have VLC on 10.04 at the same updated (and latest) version of 12.04 | 23:51 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: uhm? sure but if you boot in windows and hibernate.... you can reboot in ubuntu | 23:52 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: windos still hibernate | 23:52 |
| filo1234 | if you use it | 23:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: What are you thinking? | 23:52 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | Are you sure... I think it boots into windows only and blocks the grub | 23:52 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | but it's shutdown regardless | 23:52 |
| melodie | burububburu, you can try but you put the system at risk with possible differences in the versions of libraries | 23:53 |
| nrdb | imbezol, just found something... /home/neil has no rwx------ .... as a different user "cd /home/neil/Desktop" worked... then "cd .." worked ... then "ls" worked also.. on a protected directory. | 23:53 |
| filo1234 | I had that problem with my computer boss, windows was hibernated and network was locked by windows | 23:53 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | I can turn it off and fresh boot just to make sure there's nothing going on with that, but I've never had a problem before | 23:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: just for interest - what WiFi adapter is in that PC? | 23:53 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | I'll have to check when it's back up | 23:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: Ahhh yes, on a Windows Active Directory network? | 23:54 |
| burububburu | melodie: so there are problems if i want to keep the whole system updated to its release (10.4.4), but *only* some apps at the latest? | 23:54 |
| filo1234 | IntuitiveNipple: nope | 23:54 |
| imbezol | nrdb: /home/neil is rwx------ ? | 23:55 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: "lscpci -nn | grep-i net" | 23:55 |
| nrdb | imbezol, yes | 23:55 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: correction "lspci -nn | grep-i net" | 23:55 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: so at last test try to set static ip and dns | 23:55 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | hold on, I'm shutting it down still lol | 23:55 |
| imbezol | nrdb: and a user other than neil can see stuff inside /home/neil? | 23:55 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: ooops :D | 23:55 |
| imbezol | nrdb: and that user is not root ? | 23:55 |
| melodie | burububburu, there might be, or not, depending on the libraries which can be common with other apps | 23:56 |
| nrdb | imbezol, can do an "ls" but not see contents of file... and this wasn't root. | 23:56 |
| melodie | burububburu, you can try : at your own risk | 23:56 |
| burububburu | melodie: ok. how do I do that? How can I try= | 23:56 |
| imbezol | nrdb: they shouldn't be able to do an ls | 23:56 |
| burububburu | *try? | 23:56 |
| imbezol | nrdb: it's possible if they were already in the dir when you changed the permissions they are seeing a cached version of the ls | 23:57 |
| imbezol | nrdb: try "touch testfile" with neil, then ls with the other use | 23:57 |
| === Contex is now known as Contexual | ||
| imbezol | nrdb: that other user should never see that testfile exists | 23:57 |
| L3top | smart imbezol | 23:57 |
| melodie | burububburu, for example, for vlc I did it : I went to the wiki and did a search | 23:57 |
| === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy | ||
| nrdb | imbezol, yes... they shouldn't be able to "cd" ether.. and this was after the chmod | 23:57 |
| melodie | and followed the instructions adding one more repos: which I deactivated just after I used it. | 23:57 |
| burububburu | melodie: VLC's wiki or Ubuntu's one? | 23:57 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: IntuitiveNipple .... good luck!! c ya bye | 23:57 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | thanks for all your help man! | 23:58 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: goodnight :) | 23:58 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | I appreciate it | 23:58 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | and I restarted and it still doesn't work nipple | 23:58 |
| filo1234 | NeedInterwebz_: try static ip :p | 23:58 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | willl do | 23:58 |
| melodie | burububburu, ubuntu ones | 23:58 |
| IntuitiveNipple | filo1234: NeedInterwebz_ I was just thinking the opposite: has a static entry been entered via network-manager's applet from the GUI? | 23:58 |
| === Contexual is now known as Contex | ||
| filo1234 | IntuitiveNipple: yeah it's easyest way | 23:59 |
| nrdb | imbezol, no they can't | 23:59 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | no, it's on auto | 23:59 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | auto dhcp | 23:59 |
