| alazyworkaholic | Anyone here understand USB in-depth? Every time I wake my computer from suspend, the mouse/keyboard take a few minutes to start working. I get a lot of errors in log files & it happens with various mice. I'd like some help identifying what's gone wrong. | 00:03 |
| imbezol | nrdb: and if you were already in there i think you'll sometimes get an inode error or something of the sort | 00:03 |
| nrdb | imbezol, I logged out, and logged back in and it still allowed me to do the same. | 00:03 |
| imbezol | nrdb: can you give some specifics? like use a pastebin to show the permissions, usernames, etc? | 00:04 |

| NeedInterwebz_ | well it's weird | 00:06 |

| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: That bug report I referenced is the one you have ... it matches precisely. Apparently it's a 802.11g versus n issue, but no resolution but blaming the iwlagn drivers... I wonder, have you applied a kernel update recently? Have you tried booting a previsous kernel? | 00:10 |
| guestthor | Does anyong have a link to a set of intructions for installing wine on 12.04? | 00:10 |
| xangua | guestthor: sudo apt-get install wine | 00:10 |

| Zungo | unity, very bugged: can't see dash | 00:21 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | I think sooo | 00:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: Just using a different kernel and initramfs is the test... if it works at least we have a clue! | 00:21 |
| Zungo | anyone? | 00:21 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | how about I do you one better than initramfs | 00:21 |
| dsjk | Zungo: you can'y see what? | 00:21 |

| NeedInterwebz_ | :D | 00:22 |
| Zungo | it's all glitched | 00:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zungo: Have you checked the log files such as ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/lightdm/* and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues? | 00:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: language!! | 00:22 |

| NeedInterwebz_ | Err, sorry >.> | 00:22 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | I was excited lol | 00:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: That means the PC will need reinstalling! | 00:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: so you're telling me it has worked? | 00:23 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | because the new kernel didn't install correctly? | 00:23 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | Yes | 00:23 |
| Zungo | IntuitiveNipple: umm, it's fully glitched, so... no explain needed, i have no logs also, only output of trying to run gnome-stuff | 00:23 |
| Zungo | always same error | 00:23 |
| Zungo | and unity runs but it's glitched: i have full unity but: i can't see dash, not even clicking | 00:24 |
| Zungo | im in precise | 00:24 |
| Zungo | but | 00:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: Well darn it to blazes!!! It does sound like corrupt kernel. From this one you could apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-x.y.z-generic where x.y.z is the broken kernel version | 00:24 |
| Resistance | !enter | Zungo | 00:24 |

| NeedInterwebz_ | in the kernel I'm in now? | 00:24 |
| chrisbdaemon | hey, I have a vps running ubuntu 10.10 in 64bit, its a cheap vps and the only version they support is 10.10.. whenever i login i see a message about havine 251 packages to update, but when i run 'apt-get upgrade' no updates are available, anyone know how to fix that? | 00:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: At least you can use it with an older kernel ... I have to go now you're sorted, my partner is making come-to-bed-and-sleep eyes at me! its our 1 year anniversary today | 00:25 |
| ejcweb | I'm quite often losing windows on my screen (ie. half above the system menu bar) so I can't grab the title bar to drag it back to a sensible position. What can I do? | 00:25 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | Haha no worries. I run that command in the older kernel yes? | 00:25 |
| xangua | chrisbdaemon: 10.10 is no longer supported | 00:25 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | And thanks SO MUCH for your help! congrats on your one year anniversary :) | 00:25 |
| Zungo | i have no clue about this :( and i want working ubuntu | 00:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: yes, you can run safely in that kernel and update the installation of the apparently bad kernel. Identify the latest kernel version on that system (ls -l /boot/) get the version number from that command, then do "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-<version>" | 00:26 |
| chrisbdaemon | xangua: are you saying I can't come into irc and ask some fellow ubuntu users if they know what my problem is? | 00:26 |
| dsjk | Zungo: try logging in to another user account. | 00:26 |
| Zungo | dsjk: it's the same!!! it's system-wide problem | 00:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: let me see if I can find you a wiki page that shows how to do that just in case you need assistance | 00:26 |
| dsjk | i suggest you reinstall unity. | 00:26 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | Actually the tab complete shows all the options | 00:26 |
| Zungo | wierd, | 00:27 |
| Zungo | this bug happens only when root, but anyway | 00:27 |
| Zungo | i have no shadows in windows | 00:27 |
| dsjk | Zungo: are you using a virtual machine? | 00:28 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NeedInterwebz_: I think it'll be "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic" | 00:28 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | That's what I have typed in :) | 00:28 |
| Zungo | this is just more buggy than ever | 00:28 |
| NeedInterwebz_ | Thanks again man! And congrats again on your anniversary | 00:28 |

So i decided to upgrade, now i am on 12.04 and the problem still exists. I saw the log file Xorg.0.log.old and it readds out Segmentation fault | 00:43 |
| Zungo | idk, | 00:43 |
| j0hnsm1th | Jordan_U, aaah thats the one! tx | 00:44 |
| Zungo | well, precise ppas | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | j0hnsm1th: You're welcome. | 00:44 |

| Zungo | and two nice w8upload ppas i got... | 00:44 |
| PrIsmaTicO | !es prismatico | 00:44 |
| sb | tyler_d : when I launch kdevelop4.2 and as soon as I try to open a file, the screen goes blank, and comes back with the login screen | 00:44 |
| tyler_d | sb: that's certainly a problem then; are you running the latest code base for those applicaitons? | 00:44 |
| Logan_ | !es | PrIsmaTicO | 00:44 |
| ubottu | PrIsmaTicO: 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. | 00:45 |
| aaas | what is the apt-get command which tells you what package provides a particular file...so i want to give a file as an input and get the providing package back | 00:45 |
| Zungo | problem: when xdm/wdm come in: dpkg can't process | 00:45 |
| L3top | Zungo: the reason I ask, is because almost all of the errors you are seeing are related to ppas. I know you thought I had ESP... but... alas... this is likely why dpkg is broken. | 00:45 |
| sb | tyler_d: Yes , I made sure that all my softwares are updated. Today I noticed the problem also came when I launched a simple music player, called clementine | 00:45 |
| PrIsmaTicO | /†\ logan_ /†\ thanks | 00:45 |
| j0hnsm1th | wormmd, yes ive been messing around with different java jdk's and im trying to figure out if i have the correct javac in my path | 00:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wormmd: j0hnsm1th Or you can do readlink-e $(which $PROG) | 00:45 |
| j0hnsm1th | wormmd, i know java is working with oracle by 'java -version' | 00:45 |
| Zungo | L3top: specifically wdm and xdm are breaking it.. | 00:46 |
| tyler_d | sb: are these apps run from a terminal? or a bunton? and do you know what language they are in? | 00:46 |
| === jono is now known as Guest97623 | ||
| Zungo | how i fix!_ | 00:46 |
| Zungo | ? | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | j0hnsm1th: did you symlink the .so into your browser's plugins folder? | 00:46 |
| j0hnsm1th | ActionParsnip, thing is ive forgotten what i have and have not done! :P | 00:47 |
| j0hnsm1th | readlink -e $(which javac) | 00:47 |
| j0hnsm1th | /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/bin/javac | 00:47 |
| j0hnsm1th | mistake somewere ... | 00:47 |
| j0hnsm1th | 'java -version' gives me the oracle jdk which is what i want | 00:47 |
| j0hnsm1th | now just for javac .. | 00:48 |
| sb | tyler_d: all these apps are run from the unity, i know kdevelop is built on c++ , it is a simple IDE for development. There problems were not present earlier. It started suddenly , and then persisted | 00:48 |
| Zungo | err.... | 00:48 |
| MarcN | So nepomuk is a semantic data/file indexer. How do you query it? | 00:48 |
| L3top | Zungo: please keep the correspondance to one line... there are over a thousand people in here. It makes things difficult for everyone. What I am trying to tell you is that wdm and xdm are not likely the problem, but things they depend on and differing versions being offered as latest by the PPAs you have installed. I expect if you remove the ppas and do an update, these errors will not likely exist. You should limit your sources to the | 00:48 |
| L3top | approved ubuntu ones... otherwise things have a tendency to break... like this. | 00:48 |
| tyler_d | sb: I assume they are all tied somehow to something on your system(ie. x crashing and segfaulting) I may be off track here, but still would like to find out: what type of video card do you have? do you have the latest drivers for it installed? | 00:49 |
| sb | tyler_d: I have Nvidia quadro 600, and I was using latest drivers available from nvidia website, but it used to give problems, so i read on forums and it was recommended to use the drivers available via the "Additional Hardware" app in unity | 00:50 |
| sb | tyler_d: currently I am using the recommended driver installed from "additional hardware" app | 00:51 |
| tyler_d | sb: that is correct, the nvdia drivers (from the site) are very intrusive and very difficult to get rid of | 00:51 |
| Zungo | L3top: ok, im going to tweak that | 00:51 |
| sb | tyler_d: I also tried to run memtest86 on the login screen, but it gave an error, small or lower memory. I can provide you the details of Xorg.0.log.old files if that helps ? | 00:52 |
| === samh is now known as samhassell | ||
| tyler_d | sb: very good. next would you mind throwing a pastebin example of one of the crashes for review please | 00:52 |
| sb | tyler_d: I am sorry, can you explain what is a pastebin ? | 00:53 |
| tyler_d | !pastebin | sb | 00:53 |
| ubottu | sb: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 00:53 |
| sb | tyler_d: Sure, I am pasting the Xorg.0.log.old there, in a min, I have a copy saved from the last crash | 00:54 |
| tyler_d | sb: very good. let me know | 00:55 |
| Zungo | L3top: now idk, i have now not listed anymore ppa for precise | 00:55 |
| sb | tyler_d: This is the link : http://paste.ubuntu.com/980891/ | 00:55 |
| Jymmm | Mind an OT question? | 00:55 |
| Zungo | L3top: now idk what to do | 00:56 |
| xangua | !ot | Jymmm | 00:56 |
| ubottu | Jymmm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:56 |
| wormmd | Jymmm: come to #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 00:56 |
| sb | tyler_d: I had also seen some forum posts , where people were pointing the problem to be related to evdev. | 00:56 |
| Zungo | L3top: are you there? | 00:57 |
| Zungo | how i fix this? | 00:58 |
| tyler_d | sb: this ---> [ 74127.068] Segmentation fault at address 0x10 would certainly lead me to believe you may be on the right track with a memtest | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: lots | 00:58 |
| tyler_d | sb: let me keep looking for a moment though | 00:58 |
| Zungo | !paste | 00:58 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 00:58 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: whats going on? | 00:58 |
| Zungo | !pastebinit | 00:59 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: just agreeing with the memtest idea | 00:59 |
| sb | tyler_d: But when I tried a memtest86 option on grub, it just gives an error "small or lower memory" | 00:59 |
| Zungo | hey | 00:59 |
| Zungo | what's the apt-get subcommand forlisting repos??? | 00:59 |
| tyler_d | sb: that would certainly be an indication of an error; what does it tell you when you run `free -m` from a terminal? | 01:00 |
| Zungo | ... | 01:00 |
| sb | tyler_d: let me try that now | 01:00 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: thank-you for the feedback, could a seg fault of that type be thrown by vid card memory as well? | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: you don't really list repos, you can see what packages come from what repos | 01:00 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: ok, how? | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: not sure tbh | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: apt-cache search something | 01:01 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: and if i want to list it all? | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: or if you know the packagename: apt-cache policy packagename | 01:01 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: I think I will guide toward checking memory though based on his input. | 01:01 |
| Zungo | all in one shot.... | 01:01 |
| sb | tyler_d: this is the output of 'free -m' http://paste.ubuntu.com/980893/ | 01:01 |
| aft | it amazez me that their is still smart ppl online lol | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: so you want EVERY available package listed? | 01:02 |
| Zungo | yes | 01:02 |
| wormmd | aft: *It *amazes *there *are | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: apt-cache search . | 01:02 |
| Zungo | for someone to debug some dpkg break | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: the period is intentional, should give around 38,500 packages | 01:03 |
| sb | tyler_d: I have 16 gigs of ram on my computer, I guess free -m report is all good. | 01:03 |
| tyler_d | sb: so you should have enough to run a memory test, do you still have your installation disk? | 01:03 |
| tyler_d | sb: I do see that, I can only assume you are running 64 | 01:03 |
| sb | tyler_d: yes I am running 64, and I have installtion disk, | 01:03 |
| Zungo | there it goes | 01:04 |
| tyler_d | sb: can you please install hwinfo.. ie from terminal do `sudo apt-get install hwinfo` | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: fairly useless, unless you grep etc | 01:04 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: thanks, period is needed, gives nothing otherwise | 01:04 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: nevermind, | 01:04 |
| rifk | which ubuntu is the best? | 01:04 |
| Zungo | it's because | 01:04 |
| wormmd | rifk: in what way? | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | rifk: depends on requirements and taste | 01:04 |
| tyler_d | rifk: the one that allows you to do what you need | 01:05 |
| rifk | i want to code python | 01:05 |
| rifk | and do basic web browsing | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | rifk: they are both equal for that | 01:05 |
| rifk | and basic tasks | 01:05 |
| Zungo | xdm and wdm are breaking dpkg.... and idk about repos i have... preciseppa? | 01:05 |
| wormmd | rifk: anything, really. | 01:05 |
| wormmd | rifk: I'm a minimalist, so I use lubuntu. | 01:05 |
| rifk | apt-get is part of unbtun isnt it | 01:05 |
| rifk | ? | 01:05 |
| wormmd | rifk: it's a part of Debian. | 01:05 |
| tyler_d | rifk: yes | 01:05 |
| sb | tyler_d: sure, in a min | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | rifk: if you like Unity, use Ubuntu. If you like KDE then install Kubuntu. If you have a low end system or want to give maximum resources to your compiler etc then use xubuntu | 01:06 |
| Zungo | rifk: *buntu is debian based | 01:06 |

| ActionParsnip | rifk: yes its used for lots of apps | 01:07 |
| Zungo | rifk: that's ubuntu base with unity | 01:07 |

| trism | ActionParsnip: we have xbmc in the repositories in 12.04 | 01:10 |
| tyler_d | sb: it sounds as though you went over the top with memory if I might say so. from here I would suggest copying that information to a log file `hwinfo --memory | tee -a ~/memory.log` | 01:11 |

| gh0strider | hey can someone remind me how i would go about adding "root" the audio group? | 01:12 |
| Zungo | ok | 01:12 |
| ZaNeIuM | ActionParsnip its kinda of a gengeral question on the driver location | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ZaNeIuM: how do you mean location? | 01:13 |
| gh0strider | when i do the command: "cat /etc/group |egrep -i audio" i get the following -> "audio:x:29:pulse" how can i add root to this group? | 01:13 |
| ZaNeIuM | before i just coped over the driver folder to the home directory it then it just woirked | 01:13 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: errors when trying to configure xdm and wdm | 01:13 |
| gh0strider | i think that may be a reason why i am not getting any audio from vlc...? | 01:13 |
| ZaNeIuM | in this version nothing happens | 01:14 |
| tyler_d | gh0strider: the default is normally usermod +G.. though I would certainly suggest doing a man usermod | 01:14 |
| imMute | I installed 12.04 in a VirtualBox VM, and when the networking is set for bridged, it sits at "Stopping configure virtual network devices [ OK ]" and never boots. In NAT mode, it flys right through | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: root doesn't need to be in any groups, it has absolute system access | 01:14 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/980902 apt-cache search . | 01:14 |
| cmartin0 | i apt-get installed qemu but when i type qemu i get command not found | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ZaNeIuM: what driver are you copying exactly? | 01:14 |
| tyler_d | cmartin0: what is the purpose in using qemu? | 01:14 |
| Floyd42 | Is there a way to get the top bar to show Application, System, etc in Ubuntu 12.04? | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: why are you messing with root anyway? | 01:15 |
| gh0strider | tylder_d: ya i remember that now...do you think "useradd -G audio root" would work? | 01:15 |
| cmartin0 | tyler_d: I created an image with qemu-img. I want to run it | 01:16 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: dude, sound never worked as root.... | 01:16 |
| sb | tyler_d: I will try that, otherwise i will be back here, see you later, and thanks | 01:16 |
| rifk | whats the diff between adduser and createuser? | 01:16 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: unless you manually run pulseaudio --system | 01:16 |

| OerHeks | Zungo ubuntu uses lightdm | 01:16 |
| Zungo | IT WILL NOT, | 01:16 |
| tyler_d | cmartin0: ok? thats a pretty low level app, any reason you didn't use a simpler app like vbox? | 01:16 |
| Zungo | OerHeks: yeah, i use gdm | 01:16 |
| rifk | whats the diff between adduser and createuser? | 01:16 |
| cmartin0 | tyler_d: I dont need the bs | 01:16 |
| Floyd42 | celthunder: No, I was wondering if it's possible to get the Applications & System navigation buttons like pre-Unity in 12.04? | 01:16 |
| ZaNeIuM | ActionParsnip: its the driver for the xbox360 wireless pc adapter | 01:16 |
| tyler_d | gh0strider: you should really listen to ActionParsnip as well !! | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: you want: useradd -a -G audio root to add the user to the supplementary group | 01:16 |
| xangua | !nounity | Floyd42 | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Floyd42: 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 | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ZaNeIuM: is it a USB stick? | 01:16 |
| tyler_d | cmartin0: fair enough (- the language please) | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: root doesn't gain anything by being in groups, as it can access anything at any time | 01:17 |
| Floyd42 | xangua ubottu: Thanks! | 01:17 |
| celthunder | Floyd42: oops sorry eant to type a diff nick | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: why are you messing with root anyway? | 01:17 |
| gh0strider | AcionParsnip: thanks for the tip.. | 01:17 |
| ZaNeIuM | the hardware is usb, and i have coped over the folder from usb stick to the hdd | 01:17 |
| SeanLeBeck | Im looking to have a VPS hosting, and I cant decide whats better ubuntu or fedora | 01:17 |
| SeanLeBeck | ? | 01:17 |
| Floyd42 | celthunder: ah, no worries | 01:17 |
| tyler_d | cmartin0: does which qemu tell you anything productive? | 01:17 |
| vivid | anyone have an issue where new mails are not triggering the message indicator to turn blue? | 01:17 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: please type the command i had said adove, should make sound work | 01:17 |
| SeanLeBeck | whats more stable, faster and robust? | 01:17 |
| Zungo | SeanLeBeck: use fedora, | 01:17 |
| SeanLeBeck | thanks! | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ZaNeIuM: if you run: lsusb you can see the USB ID, and find guides using that ID | 01:17 |
| gh0strider | Zungo: thanks let me try that as well | 01:17 |
| DarkAceZ | Gaaaaah!! Nautilus isn't auto-recognizing my files anymore without an extension! Help! | 01:18 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: yeah, check with Sound in system settings | 01:18 |
| Floyd42 | SeanLeBeck: From my experience, Ubuntu is more stable. Fedora .. something or the other would stop working suddenly. | 01:18 |
| imMute | oh hey, it does actually boot, but with no network. ifup eth0 says it cant find the eth0 device | 01:18 |
| cmartin0 | tyler_d: no. whereis gives directories. | 01:18 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: because pulseaudio is configured per-user, as root it works by putting --system | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | imMute: then run: sudo lshw -C network then websearch for the product line | 01:19 |
| tyler_d | cmartin0: which qemu ? | 01:19 |
| Floyd42 | SeanLeBeck: Also in my Fedora, after running the system for a day or so, the screen wouldn't lock. And it would log out automatically. So I'd say Ubuntu is the more stable of the two. | 01:19 |
| Zungo | SeanLeBeck: for me, ubuntu is far more broken here.... | 01:19 |
| xangua | !ot | Floyd42 SeanLeBeck Zungo | 01:19 |

| imMute | ActionParsnip: when VirtualBox has it set for NAT (rather than bridged) it works just fine. | 01:20 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: and use xscreensaver | 01:20 |
| Floyd42 | SeanLeBeck: Full disclosure I should mention that I've only used up until 10.10. Later versions might have problems, I'm not aware. | 01:20 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: remove gnome-screensaver, never works | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | imMute: have you asked in #vbox ? | 01:20 |
| cmartin0 | tyler_d: which retuns nothing | 01:20 |
| gh0strider | ActionParsnip: when i did useradd -a -G audio root it complained about "-a" saying it was not an option... | 01:20 |
| Floyd42 | Zungo: you mean for the screen locking thing? yeah, i agree x-sc is better. But even Ctrl+L wasn't working .. | 01:20 |
| Zungo | yes | 01:21 |
| gh0strider | i am trying to get sound to work with vlc... | 01:21 |
| tyler_d | cmartin0: then it unfortunately is not pathed properly, or alternately not installed | 01:21 |
| === hybrid is now known as o0o0o | ||
| gh0strider | for some reason sound works for everything except vlc | 01:21 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: ugh, ignore all that stuff, and use xscreensaver/xlock | 01:21 |
| imMute | ActionParsnip: considering I've never had this problem before, and I've run Fedora Arch and Ubuntu 10.04 in the VMs with bridged - I figured it was a ubuntu issue. | 01:21 |
| gh0strider | works for kmplayer dragon player kaffeine my web browser everything except vlc | 01:21 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: in xfce xlock is there by default unless xscreensaver runs | 01:21 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: ctrl+alr | 01:21 |
| Zungo | alt*+del enables it | 01:21 |
| tyler_d | cmartin0: attempt to do `sudo updatedb` then `locate qemu` | 01:22 |
| DarkAceZ | ;_; | 01:22 |
| Floyd42 | zungo: thanks, ctrl+ what's alr? | 01:22 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: ctrl+alt+del* | 01:22 |
| bibic682 | why....when upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 I lose half my wireless internet speed and half signal strenth....windows driver doesn't work at all. Full speed in 11.04 | 01:22 |
| Floyd42 | right alt button? | 01:22 |
| Zungo | sorry, typo | 01:22 |
| tyler_d | bibic682: sorry do you have something we can help with? | 01:23 |
| DarkAceZ | Well I'm out then ;_; | 01:23 |
| Floyd42 | zungo: ctrl+alt+del .. doesn't that bring up the window to restart /shutdown the system? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | imMute: may be a config issue between vbox and ubuntu too.... | 01:23 |
| Sonja | is precise going to have php 5.4? or sticking with 5.3? | 01:23 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: nope, not in my fedora, not in xfce | 01:23 |
| skll | boa noite. | 01:23 |
| Zungo | !apt php | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !info php5 | 01:23 |
| gh0strider | would usermod work instead of "useradd" for root? | 01:23 |
| Zungo | !apt php | 01:23 |
| ubottu | php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 21 kB | 01:23 |
| bibic682 | yes....wireless internet connection dropped in half after upgrade to 12.04 | 01:23 |
| Floyd42 | zungo: ah, i shall have to try that. thanks. i tried xfce but i didn't like it. i guess i should install it for the xscreensaver only. | 01:24 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: idk ye | 01:24 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: yup, xscreensaver works better | 01:24 |
| Zungo | but | 01:24 |
| Zungo | im talking about fedora.... | 01:24 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: you should try this xlock on xfce on fedora | 01:24 |
| tyler_d | bibic682: define how you have determined this? what utilities or tools have you used? | 01:24 |
| gh0strider | Zungo: have you ever had any issues with getting sound out of VLC? | 01:25 |
| Floyd42 | zungo: coolio, will give it a shot | 01:25 |
| Zungo | or xedora! xD | 01:25 |
| Zungo | being spin-geeky | 01:25 |
| Zungo | :D | 01:25 |
| Floyd42 | haha. xedora sounds cool | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bibic682: as longas you had the packages downloaded it's ok ;) | 01:25 |
| Zungo | kdeora hehe | 01:25 |
| Zungo | for kde spin | 01:25 |
| xangua | Zungo: can we stick to the topic¿ | 01:25 |
| Zungo | Sure! just messing around lol | 01:25 |
| tyler_d | bibic682: are you talking range? or speed? | 01:25 |
| Floyd42 | openboxedora | 01:26 |
| Zungo | bibic682: try speedtest.net | 01:26 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: lol wat | 01:26 |
| tyler_d1 | bibic682: lol as soon as I mention it my wireless drops and picks up :p | 01:26 |
| Floyd42 | zungo: openbox is another DE | 01:26 |
| tyler_d1 | brb folks | 01:26 |
| gh0strider | hmm...that didn't seem to work | 01:26 |
| gh0strider | usermod -G audio root (that worked) | 01:27 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: lol, also, openbox won't work properly there... no menu, and, no full menu thing like hee | 01:27 |
| gh0strider | just still no soudn out of vlc... | 01:27 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: :) | 01:27 |
| bibic682 | tyler_d I have tested my download speed...half what it was and my signal indicator says 58% versus 100% in 11.04 | 01:27 |
| Floyd42 | zungo: yeah, it's not comparable functionality-wise to gnome or kde .. | 01:27 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: do this: run pulseaudio --system on console: then restart vlc | 01:27 |
| droope | Hey guys I have a problem setting up my connection. I have tried to set up ubuntu to auto detect proxy, but it doesn't work. When I set firefox to auto detect it works just fine though, and it asks for my username and password. ANyone have any idea on how i could solve this? | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: do other apps work with sound? | 01:28 |
| droope | any way that I can route all the traffic in the operating system through that proxy? | 01:28 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: are you using rooted session? | 01:28 |
| anil | .help | 01:28 |
| Floyd42 | droope: even if you set gnome proxy, not all applications obey it. if your particular application has a network settings option, set the proxy there. | 01:29 |
| bibic682 | I am on my machine in the den right now running 11.04....exact same wireless nic on same network getting 100% | 01:29 |
| bradley | i have a black bar on my right side and it wont go away i think its a driver issue | 01:29 |
| Zungo | !help | anil | 01:29 |

| xrfang | how can I check what DNS server is currently used? the /etc/resolv.conf file is empty | 01:29 |
| droope | Floyd42: there's no way of making it work system wide? it's running in a VMware, maybe with that? i can't be bothered to make all the apps work! :( | 01:29 |
| imMute | ActionParsnip: apparently it was a problem with udev - when I changed the adapter type it changed pci settings or something and made a new eth2. now I have an eth0 on the right adapter but 'sudo ifup eth0' just hangs :/ | 01:29 |
| droope | !patience | 01:30 |

| Zungo | bradley: that's unity bar, there's problem with your graphic driver | 01:30 |
| Floyd42 | droope: it's a bit complicated, but you can tinker with iptables to route all traffic through the proxy. | 01:30 |
| xangua | xrfang: click on the network indicator, there is an option to show information about the conexion | 01:30 |

| bradley | my screen has a black bar on the right side and it wont go away i believe its a driver issue | 01:30 |
| Zungo | bradley: umm, try another session? | 01:31 |
| bradley | the screen doesnt fit right | 01:31 |
| Zungo | bradley: try change resolutions? | 01:31 |
| bradley | i have it doesnt change | 01:31 |
| Floyd42 | bradley: what are the specs? ram, graphics card etc? | 01:31 |
| gh0strider | ActionParsnip: everything else works with sound except vlc, such as dragon player, kmplayer, my web browswer when i play youtube videos | 01:31 |
| Zungo | umm, might be your graphic card/monitor screen | 01:31 |
| gh0strider | Zungo: yes i am using a rooted session | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: why are you running the GUI as root? | 01:32 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: sure system sound works? | 01:32 |
| Floyd42 | gh0strider: open vlc from the terminal. try playing a video. see what the error message is and report. | 01:32 |
| gh0strider | ActionParsnip: i understand the risks | 01:32 |
| bradley | my mother board is a g45 | 01:32 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: i do undestrand the same risks too | 01:32 |
| imMute | ActionParsnip: now I'm really wtfing - 'sudo ifup eth1' did as expected (even saw the DHCP in wireshark) but eth0 still hangs.. | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: i doubt it, heavilly | 01:32 |
| gh0strider | Flyod42: tried that...it plays the video in the terminal but no sound | 01:32 |
| droope | Floyd42: I can't find anything on that matter, do you have any nearby? | 01:33 |
| gh0strider | ActionParsnip: i really do | 01:33 |
| droope | anything*/ | 01:33 |
| Floyd42 | droope: hold on, will give you a link | 01:33 |
| imMute | ActionParsnip: ah fuck, it has the adapters backwards - the one connected to the second adapter is actually eth0 but the physical device that it's bridged to isn't plugged in | 01:33 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: stop it and use another player | 01:33 |
| Floyd42 | gh0strider: what is the error message in the terminal regarding no sound? | 01:33 |
| Zungo | or, go advanced settings in vlc | 01:33 |
| Zungo | and see | 01:33 |
| bibic682 | wireless nic...11.10 100% signal...8 meg download....upgrade to 12.04...58% signal...3.5 meg download... What gives ? | 01:34 |
| Brandon | hopefully someone can help me out ^_^ | 01:34 |
| bradley | anyone got any ideas | 01:34 |
| gh0strider | Ahh i think i just noticed something.. | 01:34 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: do: 'vlc > ~/log && pastebinit -i ~/log' | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: the OS isn't designed to be ran as root, which is why you are getting issues | 01:34 |
| Zungo | yep | 01:34 |

| Zungo | just | 01:35 |
| bradley | is there a way to fix the black bar on my screen | 01:35 |
| droope | sweet as Floyd42, thanks! | 01:35 |
| Floyd42 | droope: just use those instructions, but use your own proxy. alternatively, check out tails livecd. | 01:35 |
| Brandon | I just picked up a netbook from someone, it had windows 7 starter on it. I immediatley decided to throw linux on it. I started with Joli OS but am wanting something different. Now when I try to boot from USB nothing appears to boot | 01:35 |
| gh0strider | okay i have vlc + linux on my laptop and when i play the video (video plays fine) and i go to the audio menu the selection "audio device" is not availabe but on my laptop where vlc is working properly it had the audio device option under the audio menu | 01:35 |
| Floyd42 | droope: cool, no prob! | 01:35 |
| droope | Floyd42: I don't know what the proxy is though, firefox autodetects it, but I have no idea | 01:35 |
| Zungo | use kdm or other DM for this... gdm doesn't allow root login | 01:35 |
| gh0strider | for some reason maybe vlc is not recognizing my sound device? | 01:36 |
| bradley | ello lol | 01:36 |
| arvind | Hi, I was trying to upgrade my system from 10.04 to 12.04. I manually changed the entries in sources.list and did aptitude update, now when I run aptitude dist-upgrade, lot of packages are being held back back because they depend on others, what do I do? | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: just don't use root and you'll be fine | 01:36 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: yep, might be, go advanced vlc settings please | 01:36 |
| Floyd42 | droope: check tools-preferences-network and it'll show the proxy details (http / socks etc) | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: check the sound setting in VLC.... | 01:36 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: Sure! | 01:36 |
| xangua | arvind: don't ever do something like that - I manually changed the entries in sources.list | 01:36 |
| droope | Floyd42: thanks man! | 01:36 |
| droope | :P didn't see that | 01:36 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: how did you made rooted login have sound? | 01:37 |
| gh0strider | I have tried all of the availabe sound settings in vlc advanced settings such as ALFA, DEFAULT, UNIX OSS etc etc nothing works... | 01:37 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| arvind | xangua, ok, but what do I do now? | 01:37 |
| Floyd42 | arvind: if you've made a backup, do a fresh install. | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: do you wonder why....... | 01:37 |
| xangua | arvind: i would recoment back up your data and make a clean install | 01:37 |
| Floyd42 | droope: coolio | 01:37 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: STOP USING ROOT, USE ANOTHER PLAYER, F********* OFF | 01:37 |
| arvind | FloodBot1, xangua is there no way out of this? | 01:37 |
| xangua | Zungo: stop that please | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: not constructive | 01:38 |
| gh0strider | ActionParsnip: since i have pulseaudio running in the background i will try the "pulseaudio" option for vlc but i doubt it will work... | 01:38 |
| xangua | arvind: let's go to the time machine ;) | 01:38 |
| Zungo | Nevermind! just | 01:38 |
| gh0strider | Zungo: you okay? | 01:38 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: try it, use pulseaudi | 01:38 |
| Floyd42 | arvind: doing a fresh install is easy and saves you a ton of time trying to resolve issues. just make a backup (obviously) before attempting it. | 01:38 |
| Zungo | should work | 01:38 |
| gh0strider | Zungo: you seem very emotional, if you dont know the answer its okay | 01:38 |
| Zungo | if not then idk! | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: try: rm -r ~/.config/vlc then rerun the app, or just use another player..... | 01:39 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: also, please tell me what you did to have sound in rooted session? | 01:39 |
| arvind | xangua, thanks :) Floyd42 | 01:39 |
| Floyd42 | arvind: no worries :) | 01:39 |
| Zungo | gh0strider... please? | 01:40 |
| Floyd42 | I have a general question about XChat. When replying to someone, do I necessarily have to include the colon after the name, or is it enought if I just mention the name followed by a space and the message? | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Floyd42: the name is enough, the colon is optional | 01:40 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: #xchat | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Floyd42: most clients add the colon | 01:40 |
| tyler_d1 | Floyd42: try tab, that should auto-complete and let you know what is required | 01:40 |
| gh0strider | AuctionParsnip: i will try removing the vlc config file | 01:40 |

| gh0strider | so should i even be using pulseaudio? | 01:41 |
| Floyd42 | did that work? | 01:41 |
| tyler_d1 | Floyd42: no | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: is it ok as your normal user, how you are supposed to use the OS? | 01:41 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: hmm, yes, but in USER gui | 01:41 |
| Zungo | ? | 01:42 |
| ecanto | somebody use Ubunutu in macbook pro with dual boot? | 01:42 |
| Floyd42 | tyler_d1: hmm ok. looks like i have to add the colon everytime then. | 01:42 |

| tyler_d1 | Floyd42: does so :) | 01:43 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 01:43 |
| gh0strider | i don't know if this will help anything but since you can't run vlc as root i edited the kde menu to "run as anothe user" for vlc which is why i added root and my other user for the "audio group" but could this have to do something with why i am not possibly getting any sound? | 01:43 |
| Zungo | wow, installed lightdm and problem with dpkg disappeared!! i wonder why.... | 01:43 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: uhhh, USE NORMAL USER VLC!!!!!!!!! | 01:43 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | ecanto | 01:44 |
| ubottu | ecanto: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 01:44 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: chmod 0777 to that file also | 01:44 |
| Zungo | and move it to / or somewere else | 01:44 |
| gh0strider | hmm maybe the regular user doesnt have a config file? | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | gh0strider: could use su to run VLC as your user. | 01:44 |
| Zungo | gh0strider: copy it from ~ | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: ~ is /root for root | 01:45 |
| Zungo | yeah | 01:45 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: why i have precise ppas? | 01:45 |
| gh0strider | hmmm now the audio device showed up under the menu... | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: are you using precise? | 01:45 |
| Zungo | yep... | 01:45 |
| gh0strider | i haven't copied over the config file yet... | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: then that's why.... | 01:46 |
| Zungo | upgraded from oneric | 01:46 |
| Zungo | ... | 01:46 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: upgrade was a kinda mess, | 01:46 |
| Zungo | should i remove precise ppas? | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: yeah, I always clean install personally | 01:47 |
| Zungo | cuz now i have officail repo | 01:47 |
| Zungo | ok | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: no, you are using precise so the PPAs are ok | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: you can remove them if you wish | 01:47 |
| * Zungo goes to remove precise ppas, he already got official repos | 01:47 | |
| Zungo | yes | 01:47 |
| Zungo | i have it all} | 01:48 |
| Zungo | the ppas were needed for the upgrade i guess | 01:48 |
| Zungo | can be? | 01:48 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip | 01:48 |
| xangua | Zungo: no, you added them | 01:48 |
| Zungo | i didn't | 01:48 |
| cvprog | how do i launch a seperate terminal window from withing a terminal window AND have it run a command automatically | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Zungo: not from Oneiric to Precise, no. You will use the default repos | 01:48 |
| cvprog | ? | 01:48 |
| bibic682 | arvind You could upgrade one distro at a time...takes a little longer but keeps all your added on stuff and most settings | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | cvprog: man gnome-terminal | 01:48 |
| xangua | Zungo: well i doub a third party repo just appear one day by itself | 01:48 |
| Zungo | ActionParsnip: xangua: it added when i do 'do-release-upgrade' | 01:49 |
| cvprog | ActionParsnip: i use urxvt, so i guess ill try man urxvt | 01:49 |
| Zungo | the ppas came when i launched the upgrade | 01:49 |

| Floyd42 | nach0z: why can't you run top from a terminal? | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | ActionParsnip, yeah that makes sense. | 01:53 |
| droope | my username is DATACOM\PedroW, how do i use it in export http_proxy? i.e. export http_proxy="DATACOM\PedroW:password@proxy" doesn't work | 01:53 |
| Zungo | L3top: oh, i didn't also added that manually: it came automatically when ran release upgrade | 01:53 |
| L3top | read the factoid | 01:53 |
| Nach0z | Floyd42: I'm trying to figure out if a specific process is running, and top's only showing as many as fit inside the putty screen | 01:53 |
| L3top | that is not possible sir. | 01:53 |
| Zungo | it's | 01:54 |
| Nach0z | and I believe it's running very intermittently | 01:54 |
| Nach0z | so ps aux is not an option | 01:54 |
| Zungo | launchpad url for precise ppa! Spotted in apt-get update | 01:54 |
| Floyd42 | nach0z: "gnome-system-monitor" then | 01:54 |
| Zungo | and on early upgrade | 01:54 |
| Zungo | before upgrade | 01:54 |
| Floyd42 | nach0z: assuming you're running gnome DE | 01:54 |
| Nach0z | Floyd42: no, there's no desktop environment | 01:54 |
| Zungo | Floyd42: Nach0z's on server | 01:54 |
| Nach0z | I'm doing a release upgrade and I'm getting spammed by "xset: unable to open display """ | 01:55 |
| L3top | Zungo: I am not trying to have an argument with you. I am telling you, that ppas exist BECAUSE their code is not approved by ubuntu. It is the very nature of the beast. You have, wittingly or unwittingly, installed them following some directions Zungo | 01:55 |
| droope | i can't believe how dificult it is to set up a global proxy | 01:55 |
| Zungo | L3top: I INSIST, THEY WERE ADDED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN I DID 'DO-RELEASE-UPGRADE'!!!! I JUST UPGRADED FROM 11.10 | 01:55 |
| jrib | Nach0z: what's the value of DISPLAY? | 01:56 |
| Floyd42 | nach0z: use this command. ps -auxx | grep 'python' | 01:56 |
| bazhang | Zungo, lose the caps | 01:56 |
| Zungo | jrib: Nach0z's on server!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF | 01:56 |
| Floyd42 | nach0z: that will show you all the processes that are based on or related to python that are running | 01:56 |
| L3top | Zungo: Then, sir, you have forgotten adding them. It simply does not, can not, and will not work that way. | 01:56 |
| Floyd42 | nach0z: just substitute 'python' with the process you're trying to find. | 01:56 |
| Zungo | L3top: wtf | 01:56 |
| bazhang | Zungo, there is no way possible the PPA were added by themselves. no need for the caps/excessive punctuation | 01:56 |
| L3top | <Zungo> and two nice w8upload ppas i got... | 01:57 |
| L3top | Zungo: I am not arguing, there is no point in it. It simply is not possible. | 01:57 |

| unclouded | hi all. I'm having trouble with telepathy and IRC on Ubuntu 12.04. When I add an account it says "Disconnected - Authentication failed". xchat works though. The network is chat.freenode.net, port 6667 no SSL. It worked on Ubuntu 11.10. I have configured a nickname and nothing else. what should I try next? | 01:57 |
| Zungo | really, they were automatically added, i saw it, had opened software sources when it warned about third-party repos disabled.. saw there precise ppas | 01:57 |
| Brandon | whenever i try to boot from USB to install, I get a quick flash of "syslinux..." and then it goes to black screen with blinking white cursor | 01:58 |
| Nach0z | Floyd42: I'm trying to constantly watch all running processes, I need something that updates much faster than top. I believe something is trying to start xset but failing, and I'd like to see what it is, basically | 01:58 |
| Zungo | IT'S possible! | 01:58 |
| Brandon | theres more than just "syslinux" but it flashes too fast | 01:58 |
| Zungo | Nach0z: you can make top update faaster | 01:58 |
| Brandon | any ideas what causes this? | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | ActionParsnip, thanks a lot, you rule, ;) | 01:58 |
| Nach0z | Zungo: howzat | 01:59 |
| don262 | ActionParsnip: thanks for the tips as well! | 01:59 |
| Zungo | Nach0z: 'man top' | 01:59 |
| Zungo | and | 01:59 |
| L3top | Zungo: It is not. YOU have installed something third party that added them perhaps, giving it root permission... but there is no such thing as an ubuntu ppa. The discussion is too long to have. Google it. | 01:59 |
| Floyd42 | nach0z: sorry, i am out of ideas. i suggest you try in the "debian" freenode channel. there are some very bright minds who might be able to help you out. | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | don262: np | 01:59 |
| Zungo | Nach0z: also, top: tap H | 01:59 |
| Zungo | Nach0z: go ##linux | 02:00 |
| Brandon | anybody have any ideas? | 02:00 |
| Nach0z | alright. | 02:00 |
| jrib | why are people sending Nach0z away from this channel... | 02:00 |
| jrib | Nach0z: did you see my question? | 02:00 |
| Floyd42 | Brandon: what exactly is the problem? it just flashes syslinux? so? | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Brandon: what video chip do you use? | 02:00 |
| dtb | hey guys - trying to install via USB stick on a dell laptop. Starts booting into the "live" option and then the LCD starts blinking Red,Green,Blue,White,Black - is there any way to pass special nvidia options to the live boot ? or install via text mode ? | 02:00 |
| Brandon | it flashes "syslinux" and some other stuff, in one line | 02:01 |
| Brandon | then goes to black screen with blinking white cursor | 02:01 |
| Brandon | not sure, actionparsnip, just picked this netbook up a couple days ago | 02:01 |
| Nach0z | jrib: the value of "DISPLAY" ? | 02:01 |
| ActionParsnip | dtb: what video chip do you use? | 02:01 |
| jrib | Nach0z: sure | 02:01 |
| Brandon | i installed ubuntu on it fine the other day, then installed Joli OS | 02:01 |
| j0hnsm1th | is there a way to gunzip -d something to a seperate file as in xxx.tgz to xxx1.tar ? | 02:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Brandon: whay make and model? | 02:01 |
| Brandon | now its not booting any live USBs | 02:01 |
| Nach0z | jrib: it's empty. | 02:01 |
| Brandon | acer aspire one | 02:01 |
| persona | my software center button does not work. when i run it from a terminal using gksu software-center however it runs fine. how can i tell unity to run it as root | 02:01 |
| jrib | Nach0z: if you start a fresh new session in putty, do you still have the issue? | 02:01 |
| Brandon | Acer ASpire One D257-1417 | 02:02 |
| Brandon | ive used unetbootin and linuxlive usb creator both | 02:02 |
| ActionParsnip | persona: could edit /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop | 02:02 |
| Nach0z | jrib: do-release-upgrade starts inside screen, and yes, I've used a new putty session multiple times and just screen -r to get back into the update | 02:02 |
| dtb | ActionParsnip, it's an XPS m1730 - just googled the specs and the chip is: NVIDIA SLI Dual GeForce 8700M GT | 02:02 |
| jrib | Nach0z: and outside of the update for screen? Do you have this xset being printed? | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dtb: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Brandon: seems to be some Intel thing, so try the boot option: nomodeset | 02:04 |
| Brandon | hmm | 02:04 |
| Brandon | how do i do that | 02:04 |
| unclouded | are there any known problems with telepathy connecting to IRC? I have IPv6. I don't know if that would upset telepathy. are there any log files for telepathy so I can see what it's trying to do when it tries to connect to Freenode? | 02:04 |
| Brandon | i thought nomodset was in bios, dont see it in there | 02:05 |
| Brandon | i saw that suggestion when i was googling | 02:05 |

| ActionParsnip | persona: change the exec line and add gksudo, you will then be prompted for your password | 02:06 |
| Brandon | hmm | 02:07 |
| Brandon | ActionParsnip, i dont even get to the boot splashscreen | 02:07 |

| dtb | ActionParsnip, champion! that " nouveau.blacklist=1 " worked :) | 02:09 |
| rinzler | Having trouble upgrading to 12.04. downloaded the iso and burned it to a cd, but when I start the upgrade, it can't continue because it "can't unmount /cdrom" When I shut down, I have to remove and replace the power to get my graphics card to work again. any ideas? | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dtb: some chips don't don't like the nouveau driver | 02:09 |
| jrib | Nach0z: you're being bitten by bug #883618 | 02:09 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 883618 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "Console upgrade useless.. XSet warnings all over the screen" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/883618 | 02:09 |

| ActionParsnip | persona: yeah its a weird one | 02:10 |
| jrib | Nach0z: yeah (in the precise version of the package :P) | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dtb: you'll need it in the installed OS, you can then install the proprietary driver later and be ok | 02:11 |

| mattbillenstein | how do I clear that state? | 02:13 |
| Nach0z | jrib: did "ps aux | grep "xdg"" ad it listed one by Root that was running xset every thirty seconds, killed that process, seems to have fixed the issue | 02:13 |
| jrib | Nach0z: that's probably fine | 02:14 |
| Dawn262 | Floyd42 nada | 02:14 |

| Nach0z | jrib: it appears to be a fairly good fx. lol. | 02:15 |
| jrib | Nach0z: you have xdg-utils installed for some reason (the loop only executes if it finds xdg-screensaver in /usr/bin)? | 02:15 |
| ggolin | this makes little sense to me /dev/sda1 12G 9.1G 20M 100% / | 02:15 |
| ggolin | 12 there, 9 taken, 20m free? | 02:16 |

| ggolin | jrib, 5% usually, no? | 02:16 |
| mattbillenstein | ggolin: how many inodes are being used? | 02:16 |
| jrib | ggolin: check with tune2fs | 02:16 |
| ggolin | sec | 02:17 |
| Nach0z | jrib: yes, xdg-screensaver is there | 02:17 |
| Nach0z | not sure why it's running the loop in the first place, but it's not doing it anymore | 02:17 |

| helo | err... | 02:18 |
| helo | how do i get a program to run when the screensaver activates? | 02:18 |
| Nach0z | jrib: in "new" versions? what newer versions of what exactly? | 02:18 |
| jrib | Nach0z: I only ask about xdg-utils because it's something that probably doesn't make too much sense on a server without X | 02:18 |

| dj_segfault | j0hnsm1th: Some people create an /opt directory for hand-installed software like that. Others create directories under /usr/local. I like to keep my software development tools separate, so I create a /devel directory and put stuff in there. | 02:24 |

| st3el_ | Hello all, I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu and I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on both my laptop and desktop, I was wondering how to network the two over my LAN so that they can share files... | 02:26 |
| droope | Hey, can anyone point me to a tutorial for routing all connections through a proxy? i need the authentication to happen automatically as well... thanks! | 02:26 |
| ggolin | st3el_, are they both connected to the internet via the router? | 02:26 |
| st3el_ | ggolin, yes | 02:26 |
| ggolin | st3el_, a simple solution is to rightclick a directory and go with sharing | 02:27 |
| ggolin | st3el_, a not so simple solution is to figure out nfs | 02:27 |
| Nach0z | jrib: same machine as before. desktop turned server. | 02:27 |
| ggolin | st3el_, i suggest you start with the former and research the latter when you have time. | 02:27 |
| Nach0z | no X server running. | 02:27 |
| jrib | Nach0z: oh, during the update? | 02:27 |
| Nach0z | jrib: yup | 02:27 |
| ggolin | st3el_, you also may luck out and find the other machine in the network view of the filemanager | 02:28 |
| jrib | Nach0z: there's some discussion at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625203 | 02:28 |

| st3el_ | ggolin, yea I'm not that lucky :D | 02:28 |
| ggolin | st3el_, another way is to install openssh-server on both machines and use the 'go to server' option in the file menu of the filemanager | 02:28 |
| st3el_ | ggolin, but thank you | 02:28 |
| st3el_ | ggolin, hmm openssh-server huh | 02:29 |
| ggolin | st3el_, yes this will work. 'connect to server', not 'go to server', sorry. | 02:29 |
| ggolin | st3el_, you're welcome | 02:30 |

| ggolin | APoulos, just try it | 02:32 |
| helo | how do i set different screensavers? | 02:33 |
| APoulos | ggolin: no I need some opinions | 02:33 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | @APoulos Wouldn't think so, though depends on what you're planning on putting the VM and the host through I suppose. | 02:33 |
| deeprogram | ggolin: sorry ? | 02:33 |
| ggolin | APoulos, depends on what the vm will do | 02:33 |
| deeprogram | ggolin: define what ? | 02:33 |
| ggolin | deeprogram, define 'connect' | 02:33 |
| ggolin | what do you mean by connect? | 02:33 |

| ggolin | share files? view the desktop? | 02:33 |
| ggolin | APoulos, oh that will be fun. | 02:33 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: depends on what the minimum requirements are for the guest OS. | 02:34 |
| ggolin | APoulos, just do it. the worst thing that could happen is that it will suck more than usual | 02:34 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | @APoulos That's more than enough. | 02:34 |
| ggolin | Ghost_In_Zshell, do you use zsh? | 02:35 |
| APoulos | Ghost_In_Zshell ggolin Floyd42 im planning on running a VM with Win XP business edition as the OS - just so I can learn Rosetta Stone - Rosetta stone requires atleast 700MB of RAM, so I figure why not go 1GB? | 02:35 |
| ggolin | APoulos, dont forget the os itself | 02:35 |
| ggolin | .o(why not zoidberg?) | 02:35 |
| APoulos | ggolin Ghost_In_Zshell Floyd42 I currently have on my actual host system 3GB of ram | 02:35 |
| yjacket | I used rtcwake on my ubuntu server, and now it is not booting... | 02:35 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: considering you have 3gb total, i think that's sensible. you shouldnt experience too much of a slowdown in your host OS as well. | 02:36 |
| ggolin | APoulos, ram is not the only parameter here. how may cpus you've got, what kind of drives, etc. | 02:36 |
| yjacket | It displays a flashing cursor, then the screen goes blank, no bootup info, nothing... | 02:36 |
| ggolin | yjacket, is it a laptop? | 02:36 |
| APoulos | Floyd42: worst case scenario - whats the worst that would happen? I dont really want to try and work out a dual boot - | 02:36 |
| yjacket | no, it is a 7 year old desktop | 02:37 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | @ggolin Actually use bash as my main shell out of habit, but zsh is really nice. | 02:37 |
| yjacket | ggolin: no, 7 year old desktop | 02:37 |
| APoulos | ggolin: I have 2 Processors, AMD, its a 32bit CQ60z-200 | 02:37 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: forget dual boot. if you have sufficient ram and hdd space, do a VM install. no reason to go dual boot. | 02:37 |
| ggolin | yjacket, pull the power plug, try again | 02:37 |
| deeprogram | ggolin: I just need give ip address to file browser and then it give me files in windows | 02:37 |
| deeprogram | ggolin: now I also want to get the files from ubuntu | 02:38 |
| Floyd42 | BTW I didn't know Rosetta Stone is a separate OS by itself. I thought it's a software you install on Windows. | 02:38 |
| APoulos | Floyd42 ggolin Ghost_In_Zshell Rosetta stone isnt. its a windows program | 02:38 |
| cvprog | you can run it under wine | 02:38 |
| yjacket | ggolin: i've tried hard restarting, but I'll leave it unplugged for a few mins, and try again... | 02:38 |
| ggolin | deeprogram, in ubuntu right click directory and choose sharing | 02:38 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | @APoulos I'll have to second Floyd42—you won't need to dual boot. | 02:38 |
| APoulos | cvprog: not taking my chances with the copy I have | 02:38 |
| ggolin | yjacket, you could also reset the bios, see if that helps | 02:38 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: then why don't you install it on your host OS itself? you said you have win xp as your host os right? | 02:39 |
| ggolin | ok you people back to rails | 02:39 |
| APoulos | Floyd42: no. Ubuntu 12.04 is my host | 02:39 |
| ggolin | just try wine APoulos | 02:39 |
| ggolin | try it | 02:39 |
| deeprogram | ggolin: you are right but it share ubuntu files not get the windows files that be shared from ubuntu | 02:39 |
| ggolin | aint gonna kill ya | 02:39 |
| APoulos | ggolin: I know what WINE is mate, the problem is the copy I have of the program is custom built. | 02:39 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: oh, i see. yes, then win xp guest on vm for rosetta stone is sensible. better than dual boot. | 02:40 |
| ggolin | deeprogram, on windows share a directory and on ubuntu go to browse network | 02:40 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | Depends on what version of the software he has. Some of the later versions of the software don't play nice with Wine. | 02:40 |
| ggolin | APoulos, fine, fine, be conservative :) | 02:40 |
| APoulos | Ghost_In_Zshell, Floyd42 ggolin I dont want to run wine with the copy of Rosetta Stone I have, id rather it be in a monitored - enclosed sandbox environment than my actual host OS | 02:41 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: good idea | 02:41 |
| APoulos | Floyd42 Ghost_In_Zshell I dont have any doubt the copy i have is free of any malware, but the last thing I need is to take the chance - which is why I considered either dualing or a VM. Which ever would be less stress on my PC | 02:43 |
| fudejian | 123 | 02:43 |
| Boohbah | hey, quit pirating softwares! | 02:44 |
| APoulos | Floyd42 Ghost_In_Zshell Boohbah its not pirated. Its custom built. the only thing that's stopped me thus far | 02:44 |
| APoulos | is | 02:44 |
| APoulos | Ubuntu cant make a winxp flash that works correctly | 02:44 |
| APoulos | which saddenms | 02:45 |
| APoulos | saddens me | 02:45 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: if you're using a distro with selinux, you can use the sandbox feature to run rosetta stone on wine. but since this is ubuntu, vm is the best option. | 02:45 |
| PRabyte | APoulos: ? | 02:45 |
| vexaxv | should i install grub to dev/sda (my hard drive) or dev/sda1 (my partition where ubuntu is installed) | 02:46 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | Go VM. No need to have to dual boot—it's not as if you need all the machine resources for it. Plus, it's probably easier to rollback a VM snapshot than it is to backup a Windows partition. | 02:46 |
| PRabyte | grub is already installed vexaxv maybe you need to configure it | 02:46 |
| PRabyte | ? | 02:46 |
| APoulos | For some reason all the Multiboot USBs and along with WinUSB and Unetbootin havent made correct Win XP boots for my usbs | 02:47 |
| vexaxv | lol..i know i just installed it but im wondering if sda was the best choice if i should have installed to sda1 where ubuntu is installed | 02:47 |
| APoulos | Ghost_In_Zshell, Floyd42 the question and fear I have is the VM running at 1GB of RAM - will it do any harm? | 02:47 |
| vexaxv | because i just installed and startup was kinda slow where its normally fast | 02:47 |
| APoulos | PRabyte: what did you mention me for? | 02:48 |
| PRabyte | i felt like it | 02:48 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: unlikely. i've been using them for a long time. what kind of trouble are you anticipating? | 02:48 |
| PRabyte | winetricks | 02:49 |
| APoulos | Floyd42: too much for the processors. Its a dual core, but the way the ventilation is set up sucks. | 02:49 |
| PRabyte | has come a long way since .9 | 02:49 |
| vexaxv | so anyone know the answer? is it better to install grub on the partition u installed ubuntu on or your hard drive (dev/sda) | 02:49 |
| soarsky | I am a rookie. I want to install gtkpod-2.1.1. When I was compiling, I got "configure: error: glib-compile-schemas not found." | 02:49 |
| === Chell_ is now known as Chell | ||
| APoulos | PRabyte: id rather not use WINE because Wine can actually still execute windows based malware | 02:49 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | @vexaxv Depends on your boot setup, but generally /dev/sda | 02:49 |
| PRabyte | but your are making flash, not surfing the net | 02:49 |
| soarsky | I google it ,but didn't find anything | 02:49 |
| PRabyte | world of goo and adobe cs5 work fine | 02:50 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: mine is a dual core laptop too. over four years old. i take care to have a hardware sensor monitoring tool running continuously to check if it anything untoward happens .. | 02:50 |
| APoulos | PRabyte: ? what? I dont follow you? | 02:50 |
| soarsky | please tell me where to find " glib-compile-schemas " | 02:50 |
| j0hnsm1th | vexaxv, i used /dev/sda but im not sure of the consequences of using /dev/sda1 | 02:50 |
| soarsky | thanks! | 02:50 |
| vexaxv | i have 6144 mb in swap and the rest in sda1 (ubuntu) so i installed grub on dev/sda (hard drive) | 02:50 |
| PRabyte | what did you mean by winxp flash | 02:50 |
| PRabyte | maybe i miss understood, but if i did, ill stick with what i am saying | 02:50 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | @vexaxv If those are your only positions, that should be fine. | 02:51 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: if you're doing something memory and cpu intensive (video encoding for eg.) while running the vm, then you might experience overheating .. but otherwise, shouldn't cause too much prob. | 02:51 |
| PRabyte | if you want to do flash , then do flash, linux is still depending on wine and vm for those operations. its not assimulated totally yet | 02:51 |
| vexaxv | k thanks man | 02:51 |
| Unresolved | Chapter 3 Digital COmic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCqwVYuPZu8 | 02:52 |
| APoulos | PRabyte: I meant making a windows XP bootable usb drive - its been said that in all other usb progs that make bootable usbs for OS's including windows - that the only one that doesnt work from Linux is WinXP | 02:52 |
| PRabyte | dev/sda is hd 1, dev/sdb, is hd 2, dev/sbX the rest | 02:52 |
| j0hnsm1th | Ghost_In_Zshell, say you were dual booting another OS on the same hdd, what would happen if u pointed grub to /dev/sda1 (where ubuntu lives) ? | 02:52 |
| PRabyte | so if you only have sda, yes install grub there, or actually grub will install it there for you | 02:52 |
| PRabyte | ohhhhhh | 02:53 |
| PRabyte | lol | 02:53 |
| APoulos | j0hnsm1th: grub bootloader would replace windows bootloader | 02:53 |
| PRabyte | i thought you meant winxp flash files | 02:53 |
| PRabyte | not flash drive , gotcha | 02:53 |
| yjacket | ggolin: It still won | 02:53 |
| davidvasquez | hi | 02:53 |
| davidvasquez | im new here | 02:53 |
| chu | Hello davidvasquez | 02:54 |
| yjacket | ggolin: It still won't boot, so I tried inserting an Ubuntu disk, and mounted the drive and am in the shell... | 02:54 |
| PRabyte | j0hnsm1th: grub has a menu, it will say at boot where it is going. you can change the defs at /etc/default/grub | 02:54 |
| j0hnsm1th | APoulos, yes realise this, but i recently fresh installed ubuntu12.04 and wondered what would happen if i chose /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda | 02:54 |
| j0hnsm1th | (i chose /dev/sda and everything worked) | 02:54 |
| davidvasquez | hey i just installed skype here my cam looks realy dark im using xubuntu how can i fix it? | 02:54 |
| PRabyte | j0hnsm1th: just make sure you read the top line of that file | 02:55 |
| Floyd42 | davidvasquez: turn on the light in your room :P | 02:55 |
| davidvasquez | its still prety dark even in the brightest room | 02:55 |
| PRabyte | to this day , most if not all default conf's are in /etc somewhere, but i never noticed grub in there until i used ubuntu | 02:55 |
| davidvasquez | yeah | 02:56 |
| Floyd42 | davidvasquez: i place a lamp behind me and it usually helps .. | 02:56 |
| davidvasquez | like when i use skype on windows its good but here its dark | 02:56 |
| Floyd42 | davidvasquez: try running cheese to see if it appears fine. if so, then try meddling with the skype prefs. | 02:56 |
| yjacket | My ubuntu server isn't booting after I tried rtcwake, so I am trying to set it via a rescue disk... can some one help me out? | 02:57 |
| st3el_ | can you install programs built for red hard and fedora on ubuntu 12.04? | 02:57 |
| davidvasquez | ill get chese | 02:57 |
| APoulos | Floyd42: so running a VM with use of 1 of my 3GB of RAM isnt going to do any harm? | 02:57 |
| Boohbah | st3el_: it may be possible, but not generally recommended | 02:57 |
| davidvasquez | also do any of u guys know how to fix the chppy videos on youtube?? | 02:58 |
| Floyd42 | st3el_: it's theoretically possible to convert rpm to deb. but not recommended. | 02:58 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | @st3el_ You can try alien. No guarantees though. Probably better off trying to find a precompiled .deb or compiling it yourself from source. | 02:58 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: like i said, use a hardware sensors monitoring tool running continuously to see if everything's under operating conditions .. | 02:58 |
| davidvasquez | does anyone play king of fighters?? | 02:58 |
| st3el_ | yeah I'm not compiling just yet lol | 02:59 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: also wise to not run very memory and cpu intensive processes on the host while the guest is running. | 02:59 |
| st3el_ | but thanks | 02:59 |
| josheee12 | i just replaced a small array of monitors with a large, widescreen one. is there any realistic way to "fake" a high resolution, in the sense of fitting more content in the same area by making the size of windows smaller? | 02:59 |
| Floyd42 | josheee12: yep. change the screen resolution to the maximum possible. | 02:59 |
| APoulos | Floyd42: shoot.. well - Im just hoping it wont fry my PC | 03:00 |
| st3el_ | why is it that both are linux based but they use different file extensions? | 03:00 |
| Ghost_In_Zshell | @st3el_ Because they're different distributions with different package managers, hence RPM and DEB-based distributions. | 03:00 |
| APoulos | st3el_: rpms suck.. I hate installng them | 03:00 |
| ggolin | st3el_, dont do it | 03:01 |
| josheee12 | Floyd42: obviously. but i'd still like to fit even more content, potentially break the large screen into separate smaller "virtual" screens, if you will, for things like multiple split screens, etc | 03:01 |
| st3el_ | lol | 03:01 |
| st3el_ | thanks guys | 03:01 |
| ggolin | st3el_, just take my word for it. dont. do it. you will sink a ton of time into it and it will not work. | 03:01 |
| yjacket | after executing "rtcwake -m disk -s 10" on my ubuntu 11.10 server, I can't get it to boot at all | 03:01 |
| ggolin | yjacket, dude you broke it | 03:02 |
| st3el_ | I wanted to install teamviewer seems strange that they don't make one for ubuntu but... | 03:02 |
| st3el_ | I'll find another remote solution | 03:02 |
| Floyd42 | st3el_: i'm pretty sure they do | 03:02 |
| st3el_ | any advice on that? | 03:02 |
| APoulos | st3el_: ... dude, what are you talking about the have it for ubuntu | 03:02 |
| yjacket | ggolin: whats broken? | 03:02 |
| APoulos | st3el_: I just ran it the other day | 03:02 |
| APoulos | st3el_: it was a .deb file | 03:02 |
| ggolin | yjacket, the hell if i know but you computer wont boot now :( | 03:02 |
| OerHeks | st3el_, there is one, but i won't recommend using it tru their service | 03:02 |
| st3el_ | yeah I'll use the chrome add-on | 03:03 |
| st3el_ | it works pretty well no os issues | 03:03 |
| yjacket | ggolin: I suppose I will just copy my config files that I changed, and my home directory and reinstall... | 03:03 |
| APoulos | st3el_ OerHeks why not? whats wrong witht he OS one? | 03:03 |
| sb | tyler_d: Hi, i am back, i ran a complete test, and the memory is all good | 03:03 |
| APoulos | st3el_: OerHeks theres nothing wrong with running it via .deb package | 03:04 |
| OerHeks | APoulos, better use VNC tru SSH | 03:04 |
| APoulos | OerHeks: oh thats true | 03:04 |
| st3el_ | I understand but I'm just looking for a quick fix | 03:04 |
| st3el_ | really was more interested in why :D | 03:05 |
| ggolin | st3el_, what does that teamviewer do? | 03:06 |
| yjacket | st3el_? | 03:09 |
| APoulos | Floyd42: here's my computer's stats: http://pastebin.com/ufYUHrkQ | 03:11 |
| APoulos | Floyd42: let me know what you think about the VM idea | 03:11 |
| APoulos | Floyd42: based on my stats | 03:11 |
| Loshki | yjacket: if you can boot from live cd, you might be able to get away with reinstalling grub. You've nothing to lose at this point by trying it.... | 03:11 |
| yjacket | Loshki: ok thanks, I'll try that! the reinstall shouldn't be to bad if it comes to that though, just a few apache and sshd config files + home dir | 03:13 |
| Floyd42 | apoulos: OK. this is what i do. i have circle screenlets setup to display ram usage, cpu usage, fan speed, hdd and cpu temps. i close any unnecessary applications on my host. then i start the guest. i keep an eye on the sensors at all times, and if i feel any of them are venturing towards a critical range, i stop or slow down the process that is causing it. with these best practices, i find it mitigates the risk of "frying" my sys | 03:15 |

| === r0tha_ is now known as r0tha | ||
| Floyd42 | apoulos: depends. most systems have a threshold temperature, which when reached, turns off the system and does not boot until cooled down to a certain point. there's a certain degree of safety there. however, if you run your system continuously at ~100% cpu for a long time, it could cause multiple issues .. including frying the motherboard, requiring application of thermal paste in the heat sink etc. | 03:38 |

| vexaxv | instead of going to a ubuntu derived o.s with gnome 3 when u can have ubuntu with gnome 3 | 03:45 |
| vexaxv | i dont understand | 03:45 |
| Debolaz | vexaxv: Because Mint has some special customizations on their gnome 3. | 03:46 |
| OerHeks | vexaxv, ubuntu 12.04 comes with gnome3+unity | 03:47 |
| OerHeks | !nounity | 03:47 |
| 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 | 03:47 |

| ubottu | Celltech: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 04:08 |
| Celltech | ok thank you | 04:08 |

| proxinix | j #proxinix | 04:15 |

| kkaisare | Greetings, all. I installed nginx on ubuntu 11.10, and then mucked up my configuration and want to reset the entire installation. Doing a dpkg -i --force-confmiss fixes the config files in /etc, but I'd also like to revert the sample files created in /var/www/nginx to their original state. Does anyone know how this might be done? Thanks in advance! | 04:29 |

| vexaxv | wilee-nilee, how? | 06:58 |
| wilee-nilee | vexaxv, Never used kubuntu, but there must be a software install area in ubunru it would just be sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:59 |

| vexaxv | yepp it will | 07:01 |
| vexaxv | but will it work.. | 07:01 |
| wilee-nilee | draven, Unity is a plugin in compiz, you are just removing stuff without checking if this is going to be a wise idea. | 07:01 |
| vexaxv | cause ive installed the same in muon | 07:01 |

| AntiSol | nothing... not a thing? | 07:10 |
| reason | partition* | 07:10 |
| AntiSol | reason: firstly, you'll want to 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox' in a terminal to install virtualbox. Once it's installed you'll see "virtualbox" in the menu. It's far far simpler to just install windows again inside your VM, though it's possible to take an image of your windows partition and run that inside your VM. | 07:12 |

| Fred219 | sorry back | 07:17 |
| AntiSol | reason: zero. it's perfectly safe to create a VM with windows inside it. In fact I won't run windows on native hardware these days - it's safer inside a VM because you can just delete the VM or restore it back to a snapshot. | 07:17 |

| FishFace | Got it! | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | right where its supposed to be.. ;) | 07:26 |
| m123 | nastas: yes, and people mostly said that "removing ubuntu-desktop" should be fine. however it doesn't seem to be fine: if later an important new package will be included as an update, then the typical mechanism of including it would be bumping ubuntu-desktop and requiring it as a dependency... | 07:26 |
| FishFace | LOL. Yeah. Last time I used it it was in usr/local/ bin or something. All good. | 07:26 |
| dr_willis | FishFace: user config files are in their home dir... | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | the actual gimp binaries and stuff are elsewhere | 07:27 |
| FishFace | Ahhhh | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | linux fundamentals | 07:27 |
| FishFace | Ok. This will come in handy because I have to do some .pidgin stuff also. Thanks again. | 07:27 |

| llutz | 1 monster depends on another monster :) ActionParsnip | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: indeed :) | 07:33 |
| BlakJak | A specific version of a package can be selected for installation by following the package name with an equals and the version of the package to select. | 07:34 |
| BlakJak | that's from the 'apt-get' man page | 07:34 |
| Fred219 | got it, what am I looking for in Xorg.log? | 07:34 |
| llutz | BlakJak: that still needs a repo with an older version available. | 07:35 |
| BlakJak | so use 'apt-get install packagename=version' | 07:35 |
| BlakJak | llutz: correct... | 07:35 |
| mmoebius | BlakJak: let me try, brb | 07:35 |

| mrtaranweb | tried to install ubuntu desktop 12.04 last night but it wasnt successful. after installing packages etc, on the reboot, it left me with the blank purple screen. i rebooted in recovery and fixed the packages, rebooted... same blank screen | 07:38 |
| mrtaranweb | my graphics card is a ati radeon | 07:38 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 07:38 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 07:38 |
| mrtaranweb | i was on android before so i couldnt write that much | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | im on android phone now. ;) with a fullsized bluetooth keybord | 07:39 |
| Hyperbyte | Hm, in Ubuntu 11.04 I was able to change the font-size of the Gnome UI, so menu/panels/dialogs/etc are displayed with a little bit smaller font. I can't find this setting in Gnome 3 fallback on 12.04. Is there any such setting? | 07:39 |
| mrtaranweb | dr: nice | 07:39 |
| llutz | wingie: if you need help like this in future: read man-pages :) like "man grep" | 07:39 |
| BlakJak | mrtaranweb: you don't get the login screen at all then? | 07:40 |
| dr_willis | Hyperbyte: try tools like myunity, or ubuntu-tweak perhaps | 07:40 |
| wingie | llutz: yeah :) | 07:40 |
| Hyperbyte | dr_willis, I don't use Unity though. Or at least I don't think I do. Gnome 3 fallback mode. Looks just like regular Gnome 2, so I guess it's without Unity. | 07:41 |
| Hyperbyte | dr_willis, so I assume 'myunity' wouldn't work for me? | 07:41 |
| dr_willis | Hyperbyte: try them/ they use the same settings i belive | 07:41 |
| dr_willis | they all are running on top of the gnome3 core | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-easily-install-the-slickest-software-center-on-linux/ etc | 07:42 |
| Hyperbyte | dr_willis, alright, trying. :) What about ubuntu-tweak? I don't see that as a command, nor as a package. What is it? | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | Hyperbyte: get it from the ubuntu tweak web site if you want. | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | one of those let me change my fonts... i recall' | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | i always set them bigger | 07:43 |
| Hyperbyte | dr_willis, hah, no need... myunity works. :) Thanks! | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | other tweaks may be in ubuntu-tweak. i recall | 07:45 |
| Hyperbyte | I'll check the website. :) | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperbyte: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak use at your own risk | 07:45 |
| dr_willis | i like the ubuntu-tweaks option to backup/restore user settings.. | 07:45 |
| dr_willis | but i se emore and more tools following tghe 'put in a reset to defaults button' idea | 07:46 |
| knight | dr_willis, :D that sound like a revoltionary idea!! | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ccsm has had a reset button for each setting for ages.... | 07:49 |

| fidel | meco: what processes are eating/using your cpu? | 08:06 |
| Debro | ActionParsnip, i think there still is a problem, when i type java -version i get OpenJDK 1.6 | 08:06 |

| skyllo | Hello to all! I bought a cloud and I want to start the graphic mode .. Can someone help me? | 08:14 |

| dupondje | Hi, having 2 screens, now my mouse pointer seems to lock for some movements before switching to the other screne | 08:14 |
| ubottu | skyllo, please see my private message | 08:14 |
| dupondje | any idea's ? | 08:14 |
| Marzata | Debro: sudo update-alternatives --config java | 08:15 |
| skyllo | anybody here know what is cloud? | 08:15 |
| dr_willis | !java | 08:15 |
| 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. | 08:15 |
| dr_willis | skyllo: online storage normally | 08:16 |
| auronandace | !cloud | skyllo | 08:16 |
| ubottu | skyllo: The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, is highly configurable and customizable to a variety of environments. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: you may need to symlink thejava plugin to your browser plugin folder manually | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: the file to link from is /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so | 08:17 |
| skyllo | Can someone help me start the graphic mode via ssh? | 08:17 |
| meco | Now, with openbox as wm and only running Smuxi and gnome-system-monitor, the cpu peaks at 100% repeatedly. Any suggestions? | 08:17 |
| Boohbah | hi, how can i make the cursor stop flashing in the terminal? | 08:18 |
| dr_willis | skyllo: use ssh x.forwarding | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | skyllo: just run the app you want to run, like gedit etc | 08:18 |
| meco | That ubotto message for !cloud should be rewritten... | 08:18 |
| Debro | ActionParsnip, ok will do that also, but default java is with * in this command "sudo update-alternatives --config java" | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | skyllo: you need to conect with the -X switch | 08:18 |
| cache_za | Boohbah: check keyboard settings, its in there i think | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: you can change the java with : sudo update-alternatives --config java | 08:19 |
| Boohbah | cache_za: ahh, so it is, thanks! | 08:20 |
| skyllo | root@200-12-147-13:~# ssh x.forwarding | 08:20 |
| Debro | ActionParsnip, can you give me commands how to install future oracle java versions..? | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: but that won't make your browser use it | 08:20 |
| skyllo | ssh: Could not resolve hostname x.forwarding: Name or service not known | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | skyllo: that's not what I said, is it? | 08:20 |
| skyllo | [05:17:54] <dr_willis> skyllo: use ssh x.forwarding | 08:20 |
| skyllo | ;/ | 08:20 |
| AntiSol | skyllo: ssh -X your.host | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | skyllo: when you make the connection, use: ssh -X username@servername | 08:21 |
| Debro | ActionParsnip, but if this link shows i have java 7 update 4 than it is right..? http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 | 08:21 |
| skyllo | ok | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: then its fine:) | 08:21 |
| Debro | ActionParsnip, so how about commands for future java updates.. | 08:22 |

| donnyqiu | liene: what's your printer brand? | 08:22 |
| liene | donnyqiu, Brother | 08:22 |
| donnyqiu | liene: have you tried additional drivers? | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | liene: remove the printer you added and turn it off, then reboot and turn the printer on | 08:23 |
| liene | donnyqiu, yes i have | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | liene: did you install BOTH debs, the cupswrapper, then the other onw? | 08:23 |
| liene | ActionParsnip, allredy try | 08:23 |

| meco | I'm trying for a third time. Since upgrading to 12.04 CPU usage has gone through the roof. I'm currently running firefox, smuxi, and system monitor, and using the openbox wm. Still CPU is currently constantly at 100%! | 08:25 |
| liene | uname -a; lsb_release -sc where i can found this one? | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: same as a fresh user too? | 08:26 |

| MarKsaitis | what is that /var/lib/dpkg/status files? | 08:26 |

| ActionParsnip | meco: nobody is born knowing, a simple search woulv've brought up tonnes of how to guides | 08:28 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: Well, you haven't bothered explaining why creating a new user might divulge some information on this issue... | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: 0 and 4 are the same, no har in having both | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: the new user will not have all the configurations from Oneiric | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: a fresh user will only have default configs made by the binaries in Precise | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: sometimes old configs cause issues, like applications to freak out and use lots of CPU power | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: making a new user will test to see if it is the application itself at fault or your old configs | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: clear? | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: its called 'isolating the issue' | 08:31 |

| auronandace | parapan: i keep what i need on a seperate partition and backup to external a harddrive, fresh installs are a breeze that way | 08:38 |

| parapan | auronandace: my experience with upgrade is 50% ...meaning upgrading from previows version to 10.04 on desktop system worked like a charm .....doing the same on the laptop broken everything and I had to go for a frsh install anyway .. | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: sudo update-alternatives --remove /opt/java/64/jre1.6.0_31/bin/java 1 | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: you do have control, inert data isn't a loss of control | 08:40 |
| auronandace | parapan: i've always fresh installed, less can go wrong and it is usually faster | 08:40 |
| knight | parapan, auronandace yes what he says is true,, debian gives you this option by default ubuntu doenst so you need to manually do this | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Debro: you can also delete the /opt/java folder if you want | 08:40 |
| parapan | auronandace: bet it is | 08:41 |

It constantly crashes at a certain step of use... I tried to connect on this distant server from another computer and everything goes fine. I also changed my computer (but the same room) and it didn't change anything... where can this be from ? | 08:48 |

| ubottu | knight: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 08:55 |
| Mayazcherquoi | GreekFreak: exFAT if you want to bypass the 4GB file size limit | 08:55 |
| s3r3n1t7 | GreekFreak, that is correct. However, my experience is that NTFS works just fine in Ubuntu and windows. | 08:55 |

ActionParsnip dr_willis (he speell his name different at times) auronandace, myself, (the channel op comes in ) and there are many dozen or so names that stick around the whole time or most.. the worst time to come for help is within a month of the new os(but these ppl at time carry the channel | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | GreekFreak: I'd format it NTFS under Windows | 08:56 |

| GreekFreak | ActionParsnip, does it make a difference if I format it under ubuntu in ntfs? | 08:58 |
| llutz | MarKsaitis: because its more andvanced and the recommended tool in debian )and i'm coming from debian) | 08:58 |
| MarKsaitis | llutz, and is it recomended in ubuntu? | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | GreekFreak: NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft, I wouldn't format it to NTFS in anything but windows | 08:59 |

| ActionParsnip | MarKsaitis: I only use apt-get, works fine | 09:00 |
| llutz | MarKsaitis: aptitude works for me™ so why should i | 09:00 |
| s3r3n1t7 | MarKsaitis, there are 2 different camps each claiming that either apt or aptitude is better. Truth is, there is no better, only different. What is recommended however is that you stick with either one or the other. As one of the ops explained to me a few months ago, its like having a lover while married. It goes well, until they start biting each other. | 09:00 |
| GreekFreak | ActionParsnip, thanks | 09:00 |

| knight | auronandace, what if i said i wanna donate to you dircetly? | 09:02 |
| llutz | there had been times, apt-get couldn't handle things done with aptitude and that broke some systems. that shouldn't happen today, but aptitude still has some functions, apt-get lacks (like those ~c etc.pp actions) | 09:03 |

| randomDude | ladowacharpuny: i'd imagine that keeping a particular version of a kernel around is the same as making sure a particular package doesn't get updated by 'pinning' it to a version number | 09:49 |
| yeats | ladowacharpuny: note, though, that many kernel updates are security patches - just fyi | 09:50 |

| fidel | airdem: i got the impression aswell that changing languages isnt that easy in ubuntu. last time i tried that i was forced at the end to modify some file which was somewhere in /etc or similar to get the expected full-language change. I guess you are using it via sys-prefs right now | 09:59 |
| fidel | airdem: sure you have logout out / logged in again - as some language changes seem to be related to the login | 10:00 |

| snapdata | I was attempting to restore the Unity sidebar (it dissapeared after installing the package "compizconfig-settings-manager") and I accidentally clicked a setting in the manager. My computer shut down and when I restarted there was no top bar, unity sidebar, or compiz. Ctrl+alt+T did not work. Nothing did. I tried deleting the settings files and have had no luck. I'm typing this from the root recovery console. | 10:18 |
| myrmidette|n1 | No_gravity yeah | 10:19 |
| DuncanT | dns53: Unfortunately not possible due to dependencies | 10:19 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: then what about my questions? | 10:19 |
| snapdata | Is my only option to reinstall? I'm running 12.04 and I've since lost the disk. | 10:19 |
| navchauhan | is there any body here to help me | 10:19 |
| DuncanT | dns53: The 'unsecure' targets need chap for session, just not discovery, and those chap details are on the 'secure' set of targets | 10:19 |

| myrmidette|n1 | No_gravity It's an android nexus one (v2.3) and the internet works fine. (All websites) | 10:20 |
| airdem | ubuntu 12 seems not to read whats in .pam_environment any idea why? becasue of encrypted home? | 10:21 |
| navchauhan | i need this | 10:21 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: and you connect to it via the Network-Manager-Applet? | 10:21 |
| navchauhan | because this project is aasingned to me by my teacher | 10:21 |

| nadav | ? | 10:22 |
| DuncanT | navchauhan: Google will provide you with any number of tutorials | 10:22 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: dns settings are set to automatic? | 10:22 |
| nadav | i installed the build-essentials | 10:22 |
| no_gravity | navchauhan: why do you want to relay mail? | 10:22 |

| myrmidette|n1 | No_gravity I/o error | 10:24 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: what do you mean? | 10:25 |
| myrmidette|n1 | No_gravity When I try to open it it says input/output error. | 10:26 |
| DuncanT | nadav: There are lots of powerful editors out there, but you'll be better off using something simple until you get a feel for what extras you want | 10:26 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: how do you try to open it? | 10:26 |
| myrmidette|n1 | No_gravity I tried with cat and gedit | 10:27 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: as root? | 10:27 |
| myrmidette|n1 | No_gravity yes | 10:27 |
| airdem | ahhhhh i had to add "session required pam_env.so" to /etc/pam.d/common-session !!! because of encrypted home | 10:27 |
| navchauhan | r u there | 10:27 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: sounds like thats the problem. i/o error... hmm... i never had that. | 10:27 |
| myrmidette|n1 | No_gravity maybe I should replace the file? | 10:28 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: i would try to delete /etc/resolv.conf and reconnect to the phone. | 10:28 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: and see if a healthy resolv.conf gets created. | 10:28 |

| === lance is now known as Guest20981 | ||
| myrmidette|n1 | No_gravity not even with rm -f | 10:30 |
| dns53 | drvanon yes, so you have not set up a samba user called root, so try running smbpasswd username | 10:31 |
| drvanon | dns53, how would i know which usernames i have? | 10:31 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: google says do this: shutdown -r -F now | 10:32 |
| nadav | mhm | 10:32 |
| nadav | I compiled a file | 10:32 |
| nadav | cc d.c | 10:32 |
| nadav | and then I got the a.out file | 10:32 |
| FloodBot1 | nadav: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:33 |
| no_gravity | myrmidette|n1: as seen here: http://superuser.com/questions/111625/i-o-error-on-linux-cannot-remove-directory-as-root | 10:33 |
| nadav | but when i try to run it, by typing "a.out", it says no such command? | 10:33 |
| ladowacharpuny | Pin-Priority: -1 block update? | 10:33 |
| nadav | oh nevermind, you run files in linux by doing ./ before | 10:33 |
| alankila | nadav: ./a.out but not sure it will actually run | 10:33 |
| * alankila has a hazy recollection that the binformat support for a.out may be long gone | 10:34 | |
| undsen | : ) | 10:35 |
| DuncanT | novdev: use "./a.out" - the current directory is not on your path (and shouldn't be - adding it opens up a bunch of fun security issues) | 10:35 |

| Milo1 | Hi, I like Ubuntu but 12.04LTS is rather sluggish on my aging pc. Which option is better? Install lxde DE in Ubuntu 12.04 or switch to Xubuntu 12.04? | 10:37 |
| Guest35515 | ls | 10:37 |
| dns53 | drvanon well it depends on what backend, it looks like the default backend uses the normal user account and you specify your own password, if you are using ldap for password you would need to query that for the usernames | 10:38 |
| dns53 | Milo1 they are the same, base ubuntu + desktop, there is no real difference between the ubuntu versions only the packages installed | 10:39 |
| no_gravity | Milo1: i also had problems with ubuntu 12. I switched to debian 6.0. Its a pain to set up because you have to fiddle with more hardware settings, but otherwise im happy. | 10:41 |
| b4uloook4me[1] | Has any 1 tried upgrading 11.10 to 12.04? how long does it take approx. | 10:41 |
| ktwo | Milo1, well X and LXDE are different, you'd have to switch to Lubuntu to compare | 10:42 |
| ktwo | or install xfce on ubuntu | 10:42 |
| ktwo | anyway in terms of speed LXDE is even faster than xfce, but probably lacks some polish | 10:42 |
| dns53 | b4uloook4me[1] depends on the speed of your computer, amount of packages installed, download speed, ~1--4 hours for me | 10:42 |
| b4uloook4me[1] | yep took a lot of time... new Installation takes mere 30mins | 10:43 |
| Milo1 | ktwo : Unfortunately Lubuntu 12.04 is not LTS. | 10:43 |
| ktwo | Milo1, then just install LXDE on U | 10:43 |
| meco | When something crashes and I don't get the name of the app that crashed, what's the logfile I can check to find out? | 10:44 |
| Sonja | what's that left side bar of open programs called? | 10:45 |
| Milo1 | ktwo : better option? Install lxde on Ubuntu or switch to Xubuntu 12.04? | 10:45 |
| Blarrffll | meco: Depending on the application, /var/log/syslog might have something useful | 10:45 |
| meco | Sonja: Different program have different layouts. | 10:46 |
| ktwo | Milo1, i just said you cant compare, if you need maximum speed LXDE on Ubuntu | 10:46 |
| ktwo | if you still want some eye-candy , xubuntu | 10:46 |
| meco | Blarrffll: ok, I'll check that | 10:46 |
| Milo1 | ktwo : thanks for the info. | 10:47 |

| Zenger | hi guys, how can I reinstall the nvidia driver (or remove it and replace with nuveau) from a live cd | 10:52 |
| dns53 | nrabett well you can manually create an xorg.conf file, if all else fails you can use a framebuffer driver (no acceleration at all but will work if a console works) | 10:52 |
| nrabett | dns53, would you care to lead me through this? as said, I have a command line. | 10:52 |

| dns53 | nrabett from memory you will need to create an xorg.conf similar to the following http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/981488/ | 10:55 |
| nrabett | dns53 , you mean renaming the current xorg.conf and creating a new one with this? | 10:57 |
| dns53 | rtr- try using a tool such as baobab to see what has used the space, you could use find / -msize 50M | 10:57 |

| gizero | In previous versions before 12.04 I've been able to add a file in /etc/sysctl.d/ called 60-dropbox-filelimit.conf that modifies /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches for Dropbox. Now that is not called on startup. Anyone konw why? | 11:24 |
| jrib | gizero: should work afaict | 11:25 |
| bitabit | remember fbx to obj in ubuntu 11.04 | 11:25 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: I'd look on the dell site for the support of that card in linux, see what the notes say | 11:25 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: My Ubuntu is not able to detect the hard disk..and now it is on terminal | 11:26 |
| olividir | does anyone know what to do when the computer does not shut down? | 11:26 |
| jrib | gizero: does « sudo service procps start » work? | 11:26 |
| vlt | fidel: I tried `LANG= chromium-browser` but got a German msg again: “Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)” which translates to something like “Terminated (memory dump written)”. | 11:26 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: if it can't detect the hard disk, how is it booting ? | 11:26 |
| gizero | jrib, Yes, it always has before. The content is "echo 100000 | tee /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches" followed by "exit 0" | 11:26 |

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 11:27 |
| doktah | hey | 11:27 |
| fidel | vlt: my idea was to check if you can reproduce that on other setups as well - if so it would be good to submit a bugreport | 11:27 |
| gizero | jrib, That has worked with previous versions. What do I need to change? | 11:27 |
| parapan | I use k3b to make the disc copy .....why do I get this result ??? | 11:27 |
| jrib | gizero: read /etc/init.d/procps so you know how those files are being used. Look at how the other files in /etc/sysctl.d/ are structured | 11:27 |
| bitabit | wings 3d perhaps¿ | 11:27 |
| fidel | if you cant reproduce it - its getting ugly ;) | 11:27 |
| bitabit | how do I use it to open a fbx? | 11:27 |
| jrib | gizero: read /etc/init/procps (init, not init.d) so you know how those files are being used. Look at how the other files in /etc/sysctl.d/ are structured | 11:27 |
| waheed | dns53 : it works ... I removed the space from the end of the folder name and worked | 11:28 |
| gizero | jrib, But it has worked before. Has an incompabitle change been made? That example I gave has always been the standard solution for fixing that in Ubuntu. | 11:28 |
| meco | When I start vlc it crashes with a segfault. What can I do about it? I created a new test user login, and there were no problems there. | 11:29 |

| gizero | jrib, Ok... Well it has worked before, but I'll look into a new solution then. | 11:29 |
| oal | meisth0th: thanks | 11:29 |
| meisth0th | yw | 11:29 |
| meco | oal: At least alt-shift works for that normally | 11:29 |
| dns53 | waheed yeah, i have done that and it took me a while to work it out | 11:30 |
| jrib | gizero: that's definitely not how you want to structure sysctl.conf files | 11:30 |
| gizero | jrib, That I care very little about. I care about it working. | 11:30 |
| oal | meisth0th: is there a list of all valid key maps somewhere? | 11:30 |
| jrib | gizero: sure, it should work if you structure them how they are expected to be. Just looking at the other files should be enough for you to see the pattern. But the documentation can be found in « man sysctl.conf » if you care | 11:30 |

| === ahmed is now known as Guest33582 | ||
| Dr_willis | chrowe_, why are you needing to do this? | 11:38 |

| chrowe_ | dns53 sounds good | 11:39 |
| magnu_ | i mean the lubuntu package manager | 11:39 |
| Psi-Jack | magnu_: No, Synaptic is a package manager tool. Ubuntu One is a "cloud storage" service provided by Canonical. | 11:39 |
| Dr_willis | magnu_, anything in ubuntu uses the same apt system to install/manage the apps at the lower levels. | 11:40 |

| dns53 | chrowe_ have a look at http://hackaday.com/2009/09/18/how-to-write-udev-rules/ you will end up with something like KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{idVendor}=="13fe", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f00", SYMLINK+="customname" | 11:42 |
| chrowe_ | dns53: so, the device id will stay the same for the device even after it is unplugged or the system is rebooted? | 11:42 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmm | 11:42 |
| chrowe_ | Dr_willis: we had some problems getting VirtualBox to do what we wanted | 11:42 |
| Psi-Jack | I guess I just answered my own dern question. There's not even a sun-java package in 10.04 anymore. | 11:43 |

| Psi-Jack | So, instead of making the packages remove it, I guess they just removed the packages. | 11:43 |

| _raven | Dr_willis but do you have any ideas? | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | _raven, you could set up a small pc and use xdmcp/pulse tricks also. so im not clear on the details of what you want to do. | 11:56 |
| Dr_willis | theres always 100+ ways to do anything.... ;P | 11:56 |
| _raven | i am not sure how to explain | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | Thinstation is a basic and small, yet very powerful, Open Source "thin client" operating system supporting all major connectivity protocols: Citrix ICA, NoMachine NX, 2X ThinClient, Microsoft Windows terminal services (RDP, via RDesktop), VMWare View Open client, Cendio ThinLinc, Tarantella, X, telnet, tn5250, VMS terminal and SSH (No special configuration of the application servers is needed to use Thinstation). | 11:57 |

| _raven | Dr_willis ok tnx for the hint ill try that | 11:58 |
| Dr_willis | You can always netboot pcs on the lan also. :) | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | its all in the details of what you want to do. | 11:59 |
| linuxfreaker | Any idea how to insert driver into Ubuntu 10.04 during installation | 12:00 |
| bioman | fidel: hello :). Thank you ! Can't you PLEASE remember what file you edited, I've searched on Google without finding a really nice fix | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | linuxfreaker, driver for what exactly? | 12:00 |
| Psi-Jack | linuxfreaker: Like what "driver" are you referring? | 12:00 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: My Ubuntu 11.04 is not able to detect the Dell R620 machine due to PERC H310 card | 12:01 |
| Psi-Jack | linuxfreaker: First of all.. Why 11.04? | 12:01 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: So I checked in LSI website and they have LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240c ard driver | 12:01 |

| Blarrffll | bioman : http://www.codewhirl.com/2011/10/ubuntu-11-10-waiting-up-to-60-more-seconds-for-network-configuration/ | 12:01 |
| Blarrffll | bioman: Have a look there | 12:02 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: I want to install 10.04 on 12G.. | 12:02 |
| Psi-Jack | linuxfreaker: Okay. Better. But, Ubuntu 10.04 supported the Perc h310 just fine. | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | Oprtz, dont preface stuff with ! - it confused the bot. | 12:02 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: No it doesnt support..I tried it a minute before | 12:02 |
| Oprtz | Dr_willis: then how to ask question ? i am new | 12:02 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: It dint show any disk during the partitioing | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | Oprtz, just Ask it.... | 12:02 |
| Oprtz | Dr_willis: okie Sir | 12:02 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: I checked in LSI website ..they have that.. | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | Oprtz, and you may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com also. | 12:03 |
| parapan | hi there fellows one question : is there any upgrade of ubuntu 10.04 which allows the system to view/use 4 GB of RAM ???? | 12:03 |
| Oprtz | anybody knows how to solve the disconnection problem of Intel Wireless Driver iw3945 ? thanks alot for the help | 12:03 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: But how to install it during the installation | 12:03 |
| Oprtz | Dr_willis: i google 100 of times but no luck :( | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | Oprtz, askubuntu.com or the forums are normally better then just googling. | 12:03 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: Did u get me? | 12:03 |
| Blarrffll | parapan: You'll need a 64bit version - and I believe you'll need to reinstall | 12:04 |
| Psi-Jack | linuxfreaker: I speak English, not shrtspk. | 12:04 |
| Oprtz | okie i will seach in askubuntu.com | 12:04 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: ? Did u get what my issue is? | 12:04 |
| Blarrffll | parapan: (assuming you don't already have a 64bit install...) | 12:04 |
| syntroPi | Which Wacom tablet is best supported in ubuntu/unity/gnome-shell? | 12:04 |
| Psi-Jack | linuxfreaker: I speak English, not shrtspk. | 12:04 |
| linuxfreaker | parapan: Instal pae-kernel | 12:04 |
| parapan | Blarrffll: right; I know for a fact that from windows world there is a 32 bit version with capabilities of extended RAM .... | 12:04 |
| eutheria | grey bird theme is very nice with unity | 12:05 |
| parapan | linuxfreaker: I'm not that good with kernel compiling | 12:05 |
| linuxfreaker | parapan: apt-get install will do | 12:05 |
| parapan | linuxfreaker: is only a package or ??? ah, OK ...let's check that ..... | 12:05 |
| Dr_willis | !pae | 12:06 |
| 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 | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, so use the pae kernel. :) | 12:06 |
| parapan | Dr_willis: linuxfreaker: you're the man ....thanks | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, pae is default on 12.04 | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, pae is default on 12.04 32bit install - i mean. :) | 12:06 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: All I want to know is how to get the lsi driver installed during the installation | 12:07 |
| parapan | Dr_willis: that's why trying to upgrade but .....it seems a little bit risky this way | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | but with exactly 4gb of ram.. you are still at the non-pae limit. | 12:07 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: No idea if liveCD could help .. | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | now with more then 4gb.. pae would help.. | 12:07 |
| Psi-Jack | linuxfreaker: Yeah. When you learn to spell simple words like "you", I may continue to help you. | 12:07 |
| parapan | Dr_willis: yes but 10.04 is only seeing 3 Gb from my total 4 | 12:07 |
| linuxfreaker | Psi-Jack: Sorry if I am not good in english | 12:07 |
| bibi23 | hi, I've tried several times to upgrade php on ubuntu but it failed, is there a simple way to do that? I'm currently on php 5.3.2, I'd like to go php 5.3.1* or php 5.4 if possible, but currently I've only used apt-get and aptitude | 12:07 |
| Psi-Jack | linuxfreaker: It's not about being good or bad, it's that you KNOW better, and choose to be lazy. :p | 12:08 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, with 4gb of ram. some is still reserved by the various hardware devices for various reasons. may be why you are not seeing more. | 12:08 |
| === Robert_ is now known as Guest61947 | ||
| dns53 | linuxfreaker so is it not included in the default kernel? do you know if it is packaged with debian?, it might be possible using an alternate installer in advanced mode | 12:08 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, the pae kernel does exist in 10.04. | 12:08 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: I told you to look on the dell website, haveyou done that | 12:08 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: yes I checked ..dint get it | 12:09 |
| parapan | Dr_willis: grrrr I'll check that link and see | 12:09 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: didn't get it ??? | 12:09 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: what didn't you get | 12:09 |
| parapan | Dr_willis: truth is in the middle as usual ...if at installation time you have 4 Gb then the pae support is installed; if not, one will have to enable-it at a later time :d | 12:11 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: There is nothing for Ubuntu | 12:11 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: I didn't say ubuntu - I said linux | 12:11 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: Ubuntu is not on the supported list | 12:11 |
| MonkeyDust | linuxfreaker ubuntu cant help that | 12:11 |
| bibi23 | did someone already updated php from 5.3.2 to 5.4.3 on ubuntu? is it simple? and do we have to reinstall all the extensions as well (apc, memcache, ...) ? | 12:11 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, for 12.04 from what i read - the 32bit live cd - defaults to using the 32bit pae kernel. which can cause issues on older hardware. | 12:11 |
| linuxfreaker | MonkeyDust: Why? LSI has that driver for Ubuntu | 12:11 |
| ikonia | bibi23: I'm not aware of a 5.4.3 update | 12:12 |
| === Gary is now known as evilGary | ||
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: you're not using LSI, you're using a rebanded card | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, but i alwyas use 64bit os. :) so i never worry about it | 12:12 |
| MonkeyDust | what's LSI? | 12:12 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: look up the linux support for that card on the dell site as I told you earlier | 12:12 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: a brand | 12:12 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: No...its based on LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240 Falcon | 12:12 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: yes, I know that, but it's not that card | 12:12 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: It wont work | 12:12 |
| mcphail | bibi23: ubntu provides certain versions of each package through its package management system. Installing different versions isn't supported | 12:12 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: right then, so what's the problem, you know it won't work, so why are you asking how to get it working | 12:13 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: I did that for FreebSD sometime ago.. | 12:13 |
| Psi-Jack | Heh | 12:13 |
| bibi23 | ikonia: it was released a few days ago | 12:13 |
| ikonia | bibi23: released where ? | 12:13 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: All I need help now on inserting the driver at installation time | 12:13 |
| ikonia | linuxfreaker: I believe it's F6 for additional options | 12:13 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: During installation i am unable to install the driver before partiotioing | 12:13 |
| bibi23 | ikonia: i don't know I just saw on php.net | 12:13 |
| === lance is now known as Guest79846 | ||
| ikonia | bibi23: right, so that isn't an ubuntu pacakge, there is no ubuntu apckage | 12:14 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: Let me check F6 option | 12:14 |
| bibi23 | mcphail: what is the latest version of php provided by ubuntu? | 12:14 |
| ikonia | bibi23: use what ubuntu offers you and don't worry about it | 12:14 |
| === lance_ is now known as Guest60606 | ||
| ome | How can I type a specific char by it's unicode number like in windows you use ALT+[NUMBER FROM KEYPA]. ? | 12:14 |
| mcphail | bibi23: use "apt-get policy <packagename>" to see the versions | 12:14 |
| === gabriele is now known as Guest47916 | ||
| ome | bibi23: also "apt-get cache show PACKAGENAME" should do the trick. and if you have php installed 'php -v' should be good. | 12:15 |
| parapan | Dr_willis: lucky you ...one question more ....you do need to have the GPU with 64 bit capabilities ...is this correct ??? you cannot use 64 bit OS on non 64 bits GPU correct ? | 12:15 |
| dns53 | bibi23: also packages.ubuntu.com for a web based view | 12:15 |
| linuxfreaker | bibi23: ubuntu repository doesn't have the latest version of PHP. so I might have to download from PHP.net | 12:15 |
| petan|wk | someone know how to fix problem when my server doesn't resolve any ip address? | 12:15 |
| bibi23 | mcphail: policy isn't available when doing apt-get | 12:15 |
| mcphail | bibi23: sorry apt-cache not apt-get | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, 32bit hardware cant run 64bit os. | 12:16 |
| bibi23 | currently I'm with php 5.3.2 if I do php -v | 12:16 |
| ikonia | bibi23: then use 5.3.2 | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | parapan, 32bit CPU cant run 64bit os ;) GPU is the video card | 12:16 |
| parapan | Dr_willis: so I've got that right | 12:16 |
| Blarrffll | ome : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#In_X11 is that any help? | 12:16 |
| gwelter | !info php5 | bibi23 | 12:16 |
| ubottu | bibi23: php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 21 kB | 12:16 |
| ome | bibi23: did you try 'apt-cache show PAKCAGENAME" ? | 12:16 |
| parapan | Dr_willis: correct ..CPU ...mistyped | 12:16 |
| bibi23 | ikonia: but it's very old, I can't believe there is no way to upgrade to a new version, even if it's not 5.4 | 12:16 |
| ikonia | bibi23: why do you want to upgrade ? | 12:16 |
| ikonia | bibi23: what do you want that's not in the version you have ? | 12:17 |
| petan|wk | it used to work in past, it's surely problem in the configuration of server, I think some of services needs restart | 12:17 |
| gwelter | bibi23: so, 5.3.10 is the latest available version on ubuntu | 12:17 |
| bibi23 | ikonia: no particular reason just to be up to date | 12:17 |
| _val_ | hey guys. When on terminal I want to double-click on some text and being able to compy the text and paste it with the scrollbar of the mouse. Where to change this setting ? | 12:17 |
| ikonia | bibi23: then don't | 12:17 |
| _val_ | s/compy/copy | 12:17 |
| ikonia | bibi23: the ubuntu guys are offering you the package that is best suited for the version of the OS and components you are running - use what they offer you | 12:17 |
| ome | Blarrffll: cheers. let me check it. | 12:18 |
| mcphail | bibi23: it is much safer using an automatically supported and bug-fixed version frrom the ubuntu repos | 12:18 |
| bibi23 | mcphail: I don't really know how it works, I've only used apt-get and aptitude, but even if it's not 5.4 I'm sure there is a version provided by ubuntu | 12:19 |
| bibi23 | there are a lot of releases since 5.3.2 | 12:19 |
| Dr_willis | _val_, you can select then middle click to paste.. in most apps. | 12:19 |
| bioman | Blarrffll: thanks :) | 12:20 |
| Dr_willis | _val_, you may want to try out some of the clipbord manager tools also. | 12:20 |
| Dr_willis | !info glipper | 12:20 |
| ubottu | glipper (source: glipper): Clipboard manager for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3-1 (precise), package size 60 kB, installed size 528 kB | 12:20 |
| Blarrffll | bioman: it worked? | 12:20 |
| mcphail | bibi23: maybe but security fixes are backported into the supported version. if you install your own version you are _on_ _your_ _own_ to keep it up to date | 12:20 |
| bibi23 | gwelter: ok thanks! is it upgradable through aptitude for example? | 12:20 |
| gwelter | bibi23: yes, to the latest version supplied by canonical | 12:21 |
| _val_ | Dr_willis: I use fedora and gnome-shell myself.. but here at work I'm using ubuntu.. and I cannot paste using the scrollbar of the mouse. | 12:21 |
| _val_ | There is some kind of setting I don't know . | 12:21 |
| Dr_willis | _val_, i dont know what you mean by scrollbar of the mouse. | 12:21 |
| mcphail | bibi23: i don't mean to be rude but if you're planning on running a website you should be more concerned with learning the basics of your platform than version numbers | 12:22 |
| linuxfreaker | ikonia: F6 just shows some option related to acpi, free software..etc | 12:22 |
| === evilGary is now known as goodGary | ||
| _val_ | Dr_willis: you can select a certain pattern or text on the terminal by double-clicking. When you want to paste this text, you can do it using the middel-wheel of your mous. Just press the wheel of the mouse and it will paste. On ubuntu it doesn't | 12:22 |
| gwelter | _val_: that's probably because there different clipboards. E.g. Firefox uses a different clipboard than gnome-terminal | 12:23 |
| Dr_willis | _val_, it works here just fine... at least in xchat - i just tested it.... | 12:23 |
| _val_ | how to change on gnome? | 12:23 |
| Dr_willis | <_val_> Dr_willis: worksworksworworksworksworksks | 12:23 |
| bibi23 | mcphail: that's what I'm trying to do! but upgrading a version isn't part of that? | 12:23 |
| Dr_willis | ;) double click selected a word in xchat. | 12:23 |
| linuxfreaker | Anyone who can help me installing driver during the installation phase | 12:23 |
| linuxfreaker | on Ubuntu 10.04 | 12:24 |
| Dr_willis | Should work the same in any desktop. the select/middle click is a feature of X i belive. not the desktop | 12:24 |
| _val_ | oh weird | 12:24 |
| mcphail | bibi23: yes - learn the basics of the ubuntu package system | 12:24 |
| _val_ | It does work here too. :< | 12:24 |
| Dr_willis | works when i double click a line in gnome-terminal also.. willis@Speedbuntu:~$ geany .conkyrc | 12:24 |
| _val_ | soo weird. | 12:24 |
| mcphail | bibi23: it is your best friend | 12:24 |
| _val_ | Dr_willis: yes I see. It did not work before. Hmm ubuntu has probably a self-reparing mechanism :> | 12:25 |
| _val_ | nice. Thanks! and sorry for bothering. | 12:25 |
| dns53 | Dr_willis i think they turned it off in X in 11.04 but i believe you can turn it on by desktop environment | 12:25 |
| bibi23 | gwelter: I pressed 'u' in aptitude, then a list of lines showed up I think it updated repos? then what should I do to upgrade a package? thx | 12:25 |
| gwelter | bibi23 I don't use aptitude, but is has probably shown updated packages for the ones you have already installed | 12:26 |

| st3el_ | Can someone help me setup steam on Ubuntu? | 12:42 |
| st3el_ | I have Wine installed but not really sure how to use it... | 12:43 |
| auronandace | st3el_: maybe #winehq could help better | 12:43 |
| st3el_ | freenode? | 12:43 |
| auronandace | st3el_: indeed | 12:43 |
| st3el_ | auronandace, cool thanks. | 12:43 |
| auronandace | st3el_: no worries | 12:43 |
| anil | Could anyone tell me how I can install wine? | 12:45 |
| Mayazcherquoi | What the hell? As soon as I open Transmission, without any downstream connection, my net still (excuse the language) f**ks up?! | 12:45 |
| auronandace | anil: sudo apt-get install wine | 12:45 |
| anil | Thank you auronandace | 12:45 |
| auronandace | Mayazcherquoi: no need to write "excuse the language", just don't use it | 12:46 |
| st3el_ | auronandace, good advice but it doesn't seem anyone is in there | 12:46 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Meh. Represents my attitude at this moment. Since for some reason, Ubuntu (on my computer, at least), can't handle basic torrent traffic. | 12:46 |
| auronandace | st3el_: plenty are there | 12:46 |
| === Shojo is now known as Chell | ||
| st3el_ | auronandace, perhaps but none are awake | 12:46 |
| gwelter | Mayazcherquoi: maybe it's your router. some routers just die with torrent traffic | 12:47 |
| auronandace | st3el_: you've been there for how long? | 12:47 |
| fidel | Mayazcherquoi: tested other torrent clients? | 12:47 |
| st3el_ | auronandace, I'm not really sure how this works... | 12:47 |
| auronandace | st3el_: how what works? | 12:48 |
| gwelter | st3el_: why not read the docs on the wine website? | 12:48 |
| Mayazcherquoi | gwelter: No. I've been to this channel before with the same problem. It's not those things. Considering I used to be on Windows at this very same location with no errors, with the addition of my sister who is a further room away from the router, can download torrents just fine (although she uses it for less legitimate reasons). | 12:48 |
| === stephan is now known as yashshah | ||
| st3el_ | gwelter, because it doesn't make sense to me... | 12:48 |
| st3el_ | I've already looked them over | 12:48 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 12:48 |
| gwelter | Mayazcherquoi: it can also depends on the number of connections the client opens at the same time | 12:48 |
| aLeSD | is it possible to activate visualization in rhythmbox ... I can't find the way | 12:49 |
| st3el_ | auronandace, I'm not exactly sure how long I should sit idly... | 12:49 |
| Mayazcherquoi | gwelter: I am aware of that, and thus have it reduced. | 12:49 |
| gwelter | st3el_: what are you trying to accomplish? | 12:49 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Reduced significantly from my Windows equivalent (over 60%) | 12:49 |
| fidel | Mayazcherquoi: can you elaborate 'can't handle basic torrent traffic' | 12:49 |
| auronandace | st3el_: 2 mins isn't that long (especially to say that nobody is awake) | 12:49 |
| Mayazcherquoi | st3el_: Follow the tutorial on the Wine AppDB website. | 12:49 |
| st3el_ | gwelter I would love to play tf2 on Ubuntu | 12:49 |
| st3el_ | ugh.. Like I said I've already looked that over | 12:50 |
| gwelter | Mayazcherquoi: maybe enable/disable upnp in transmission? | 12:50 |
| Mayazcherquoi | fidel: My computers wireless internet connection destabilises immediately after any P2P traffic. | 12:50 |
| st3el_ | and it doesn't make sense to ME | 12:50 |
| Mayazcherquoi | gwelter: Have done, no effect. | 12:50 |
| st3el_ | I'm new to linux in general | 12:50 |
| anil | Me too. | 12:50 |
| gwelter | st3el_: have you looked at playonlinux? | 12:50 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Even manually forwarded the ports on my router. Nothing. | 12:50 |
| st3el_ | doesn't mean I'm new to the internet/google | 12:50 |
| st3el_ | gwelter, no I haven't | 12:51 |
| gwelter | Mayazcherquoi: ok, what exactly breaks on your network? | 12:51 |
| Mayazcherquoi | My computer just loses access. | 12:51 |
| killtrace | can some1 help me to install NFS underground 2? | 12:51 |
| Mayazcherquoi | st3el_: Should work fine, according to: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444 | 12:51 |
| auronandace | killtrace: windows game? | 12:52 |
| killtrace | yap | 12:52 |
| Mayazcherquoi | auronandace: It is. | 12:52 |
| Mayazcherquoi | killtrace: Install Wine, | 12:52 |

| killtrace | I allrdy have that :D | 12:52 |
| killtrace | I can't mount CD1 and 2 | 12:52 |

| Mayazcherquoi | killtrace: Use the "mount" command. | 12:53 |
| st3el_ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/InstallingSteam | 12:53 |
| st3el_ | I looked this over and it seems rather easy | 12:53 |
| st3el_ | but I don't know how to use the terminal like that... | 12:53 |
| Mayazcherquoi | st3el_: Just follow what it tells you? | 12:53 |
| killtrace | in CD1 folder are .bin and .cue ext. so can u mount that? | 12:54 |
| === mint is now known as NESSuno | ||
| gwelter | Mayazcherquoi: does it happen with a different torrent client? | 12:54 |
| Mayazcherquoi | killtrace: Query, do you legally own this game? | 12:55 |
| st3el_ | for example it calls for an installation of "Gecko" | 12:55 |
| st3el_ | idk what that is.. | 12:55 |
| Mayazcherquoi | gwelter: Yes. Both Transmission and qBitorrent produce the same net connection fluctuations. | 12:55 |
| aFeijo | hi folks, is it possible to configure my ubuntu to auto open my often used applications when I power it on? | 12:55 |
| auronandace | st3el_: the rendering engine used in firefox | 12:55 |
| st3el_ | try googling Gecko... | 12:55 |
| Mayazcherquoi | st3el_: That's what Firefox uses to display its webpages | 12:55 |
| killtrace | explane legally I don't jave real Cd's it's downloaded from torrent I will not play online just in single player mode | 12:55 |
| st3el_ | so I already have it, no? | 12:56 |
| Mayazcherquoi | st3el_: Best solution I can offer you. | 12:56 |
| Mayazcherquoi | st3el_: Go to the Software Centre, and search for and install "PlayOnLinux" (without the quotes, of course) | 12:56 |
| Mayazcherquoi | It's pretty straightforward after that ;) | 12:56 |

| MotherMGA | Hello, I upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10 today on my laptop and Ubuntu nolonger boots. it gets though grub, shows the loading screen and then sites there, forever loading. When I press ESC to see what its doing, I see that its starting and stopping services, and eventually hangs on "Stopping Mount network filesystems [OK]". Can anyone help me get my system running? | 13:50 |
| resno | could 32bit vs 64 bit be buggy? | 13:50 |
| aFeijo | UICTamale, do you use the multiscreen feature and shortcuts to swap each one? I configured mine with F5 and F6 for that, and when I open screen, it gives me 4 screens already | 13:51 |
| Chuck_Norris | for uvc devices =P | 13:51 |
| Jannisss | I wish to find out the version of the driver used | 13:51 |
| Jannisss | I have nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:51 |
| p0ck | MotherMGA: try booting to single user and disabling nfs | 13:51 |
| Jannisss | /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory | 13:52 |
| Chuck_Norris | Jannisss: paste the outputs that the command: lsmod | grep video give you | 13:52 |
| p0ck | MotherMGA: Or single user and removing any nfs mountpoints from fstab | 13:52 |
| UICTamale | aFeijo: I do not.. I just make new screens as I need them | 13:52 |
| aFeijo | UICTamale, multiples in one is very useful, and you can split the screen in 2 or more, fantastic to monitor a server | 13:53 |
| Jannisss | Chuck_Norris, http://pastebin.com/gYZZDefs | 13:53 |
| MotherMGA | pOck: I can get to a shell wth ctl-alt-F1. my CIFS mount is mounted correctly. when I remove the entry from fstab and reboot, the last thing is just something different, but it still hangs. | 13:53 |
| aFeijo | UICTamale, a screen split showing htop & mytop next to your prompt, great stuff | 13:53 |

| UICTamale | it's open source | 14:00 |
| p0ck | MotherMGA: gotta run, but i'd bet it's a matter of tracking down/disabling a (now) bad service to boot, then figuring out the fix. check bootup logs too | 14:00 |
| Chuck_Norris | Jannisss: otherwhise you may want go to the ATI's web site and download the propietrary driver version for that particular ATI | 14:01 |

| wilee-nilee | capslock286, Is this a booted live cd as awell | 15:05 |
| capslock286 | I've tried with both USB-boot and live-cd boot | 15:05 |
| capslock286 | And it becomes a status quo.... I cannot install within Windows either as it suggests I boot into the installer. The same issue arise when I launch the installer from the live instance. | 15:07 |
| wilee-nilee | capslock286, UEFI is a bit tricky I believe I can't personally help hopefully someone can. If you don't get help here you might consider the ubuntu forums as well. | 15:07 |

| jackiechan0 | hello could anyone help me i'm experiencing problem to connect to a VPN i'm under UBUNTU NATTY, the vpn works correclty using openvpn but doesn't works using pptp network manager in ubuntu | 15:15 |
| jackiechan0 | can anyone help me about that? | 15:15 |
| hauptstrasse | jackiechan0, how about using network-manager-openvpn ? | 15:16 |
| sanduz2 | for some reason my ubuntu server 12.04 x64 keeps getting an error on start up. it says 'misaligned reg 0x0060081D' and '[drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d:0: unknown connector type: 0xff!!' ...doesnt even let me reach login, no clue whats going on | 15:16 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> do i have to install it or it's embedded in natty? | 15:16 |
| hauptstrasse | jackiechan0, I don't know. Try installing it, if its already installed apt-get will tell you so | 15:16 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> it's installing, does it have a gui? | 15:17 |
| hauptstrasse | jackiechan0, of course. You should be able to select openvpn when configuring network manager. | 15:17 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> how can i do that? | 15:18 |
| ZenMaster | My Production serer of 11.10 is running great. Should I upgrade to 12? | 15:18 |
| hauptstrasse | jackiechan0, I won't give you click by click directions. This is really easy. Just use the network manager gui from your system tray. | 15:18 |
| linuxuz3r | ZenMaster, hi | 15:19 |
| ZenMaster | linuxuz3r: Hi. | 15:19 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> on the network manager gui i just can configure a VPN | 15:19 |
| john22 | hi, i installed for a friend ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-shell 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 and without any extensions, also have installed the proprietary nvidia driver but it crashes randomly | 15:19 |
| linuxuz3r | ZenMaster, i think you should upgrade | 15:19 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> ok ok i found | 15:19 |
| ZenMaster | linuxuz3r: I am just afraid of upgrading. I have all my services working fine at the moment. I don't want anything to break. | 15:19 |
| linuxuz3r | ok wait then | 15:20 |
| linuxuz3r | ;p | 15:20 |
| hauptstrasse | ZenMaster, if everything is working perfectly, then you have no reason to take the risk. | 15:20 |
| FrozenMind | ZenMaster - do you have a spare, similar computer, to your server? | 15:20 |
| linuxuz3r | i only upgraded to 12.04 for gnomeshell | 15:20 |
| resno | john22: i did the same thing but my freezes and i couldnt get the drive isntall | 15:20 |
| linuxuz3r | ;p | 15:20 |
| ZenMaster | No I do not. | 15:20 |
| kinenkaya | i upgraded an apache server in a test environment to 12 and encountered no issues | 15:20 |
| ZenMaster | And for my call center this server is critical because the call center software stores all the dispositioned leads here. | 15:20 |
| linuxuz3r | call center? | 15:21 |
| linuxuz3r | lol | 15:21 |
| ZenMaster | So when the client wants to make sure the Agent is doing their job, they can connect and download. | 15:21 |
| kinenkaya | I did encounter issues on workstations in the same testing environment | 15:21 |
| ZenMaster | I am I.T. for a Telemarketing firm. :) | 15:21 |
| FrozenMind | ZenMaster - aah, I was going to say, test to see if you could upgrade on that... how about a hdd that would allow you to bit copy over from your hdd to that one? this would allow you to get a back up... you can do this by using DD or RemasterSys | 15:21 |
| linuxuz3r | ZenMaster, ok | 15:22 |
| kinenkaya | ZenMaster is also the master of wisdom. | 15:22 |
| linuxuz3r | yeah | 15:22 |
| ZenMaster | I was more just asking to if there were any significant benefits. | 15:22 |
| ZenMaster | The Linux server is no where near the edge of my network. :) | 15:23 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> no way it doesn't work !!! Connection was not provided by any settings service | 15:23 |
| kinenkaya | I'd upgrade because it's LTS | 15:23 |
| ZenMaster | kinenkaya: Yes, that is a good reason. | 15:23 |
| kinenkaya | and if you're using Ubuntu in a production environment you're going to want that support. | 15:23 |
| FrozenMind | 12.04 is a long term update package (LTS), like 10 was.. o.O | 15:23 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> i followed this guide http://unblockvpn.com/support/how-to-set-up-unblock-vpn-on-linux.html | 15:23 |
| kinenkaya | even if your employer is honeybadger. | 15:23 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> and now i used openvpn manager | 15:23 |
| jackiechan0 | hauptstrasse> can u help me? | 15:23 |
| ZenMaster | kinenkaya: Hahaha, my employer does not care what I do. He buys toys and gives me an idea of what he wants and then I facilitate that. | 15:24 |
| john22 | resno, yea i thought it was more stable but unity works well, no crashes or freezes at all | 15:24 |
| xskydevilx | I accidentally installed the Arial font from one of those Wine installers. How do I get rid of it? That is, where is it installed? | 15:25 |

| shomon | do you just install 12.04 then copy the old profile over it?? | 15:30 |
| ZenMaster | kinenkaya: What are you usign Ubuntu workstations for? For instance, the Agents in this office, 60 total, have to use a Java based client to connect to there call center software. So I could see ubuntu being a great workstation. What do your users do? | 15:30 |

| jon__ | ohad_, the reason you get those is because in those specific ppas, there aren't any 12.04 builds available so it returns a 404 error. Think of it as, when you request a webpage but the webpage isn't available. You'll have to contact the developer to ask them to make a 12.04 build available on the ppa OR compile the application you want from source | 15:44 |
| awwf23 | Well,what do you expect for free. | 15:44 |
| awwf23 | Have fun pplz | 15:44 |
| linuxuz3r | free and open | 15:44 |
| Leodi | chown and chmod from live usb ??? plz help | 15:44 |
| Pici | Eupator: We do not support Centos here. Please use their support channel or ##linux | 15:44 |
| jon__ | ohad_, if you don't care for any of the above, you can remove those ppas from your software sources (Update Manager > Settings.. > Other Softare) | 15:45 |
| jon__ | nina666, (in lay mans terms) compiz is what gives you your graphics animations | 15:45 |
| magma | I have built a program using the make command. How can I uninstall it now? | 15:46 |
| OerHeks | Eupator, maybe the #centos irc channel here on freenode can help | 15:46 |

| martijn_dekker | Hey all, how do I disable the sticky area between my screens? It seems to have been added because of the sidebar, and is constantly annoying me by trapping my mouse | 15:46 |
| jon__ | nina666, you mentioned that you have an AMD graphics card. Install compizconfig-settings-manager then head to OpenGL and uncheck 'Sync to VBlank' | 15:47 |
| jon__ | it might help | 15:47 |
| nina666 | jon__, yea i just read about it just now... apparently is unity's bug... in here:http://www.tuxtrix.com/2011/05/workaround-for-compiz-eating-too-much.html is saying the more pc is on, the more is goes.. although this post is really talking about memory consumption, but my issue is really cpu... | 15:47 |
| nina666 | jon__, ok let me try, thx | 15:47 |
| DJones | martijn_dekker: There's an option in your display settings to enable/diable the sticky area | 15:47 |
| jon__ | nina666, np | 15:47 |
| Eupator | Yep people I have already try ask on #centos, but their channel like every one is dead on it.... | 15:47 |
| martijn_dekker | Ahh, thanks. I freed my mouse | 15:47 |
| martijn_dekker | Now Unity is sort of usable again. Still too bad that Ubuntu Classic kind of kicked the curb on my pc | 15:48 |
| LetterRip | hi any bandwidth monitoring apps/widgets that are recommended? | 15:48 |
| martijn_dekker | I have to ask: do people truly like this new desktop environment? | 15:48 |
| LetterRip | ie 'you have used 1GB this month' | 15:49 |
| LetterRip | that i can check from my toolbar | 15:49 |
| jon__ | !ask | 15:49 |
| ubottu | 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 | 15:49 |
| martijn_dekker | Also.. with LetterRip mentioning widgets, I have to ask: how do I use widgets on Unity or Ubuntu Classic? I haven't been able to modify my taskbar since I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 | 15:49 |
| Carpe|Diem | How can I theme gnome3? Ubuntu12.04 doesnt allow me to add my own downloaded themes... | 15:49 |
| * Eupator Hate distros doesn't based on debian! | 15:49 | |
| martijn_dekker | Uhm, I mean 11.10. 11.04 worked okay-ish I think. Not sure. | 15:49 |
| LetterRip | martijn_dekker: alt right click | 15:50 |
| linuxuz3r | later guys | 15:50 |
| linuxuz3r | have fun | 15:50 |
| shomon | does anyone know how to import a profile once you install 12.04? | 15:50 |
| martijn_dekker | LetterRip, alt-rightclick does not work on my taskbar with either alt key | 15:50 |
| LetterRip | martijn_dekker: odd... works here | 15:51 |
| martijn_dekker | Not on Unity, right now, but also not on Ubuntu Classic.. tried it a bit earlier. | 15:51 |
| LetterRip | in ubuntu classic | 15:51 |
| Carpe|Diem | martijn_dekker: use alt super rightclick | 15:51 |
| martijn_dekker | What is the super button? The windows flag button? | 15:51 |
| nina666 | jon__, installed... how should i reach for the OpenGL and unchecking the thing...? | 15:52 |
| Carpe|Diem | yes | 15:52 |
| martijn_dekker | I tried alt-winkey-rmb, which brings up a keyboard shortcuts menu | 15:52 |
| jon__ | nina666, OpenGL is under General | 15:52 |
| Carpe|Diem | martijn_dekker: thats not right | 15:52 |
| martijn_dekker | Pressing winkey first brings up the sidebar, and pressing alt while holding winkey also brings up the shortcuts menu | 15:52 |
| Carpe|Diem | martijn_dekker: you have compiz? it tends to take over your shortcuts | 15:53 |
| OriginalYank | trying to install ubuntu on homebuilt PC wihtout OS from bootable USB, @ 1st language selection menu and all that works are the enter, arrow and F1 keys. Keyboard is wireless Logitech w/USB reciever. Any takers? | 15:53 |
| martijn_dekker | Carpe|Diem, I do have compiz. It has never been a problem up til now. | 15:53 |
| === nacnud is now known as realityinfo | ||
| Carpe|Diem | martijn_dekker: strange... | 15:53 |
| jon__ | nina666, if you're having a hard time finding it, try searching for OpenGL in the filter | 15:53 |
| martijn_dekker | I'm not sure what I even have it for, I don't care for fancy graphics stuff at all. | 15:53 |
| logavanc | Morning all. | 15:53 |
| Carpe|Diem | uninstall it then :) | 15:54 |
| magma | I have built a program using the make command. How can I uninstall it now? | 15:54 |
| hroi | hmm | 15:54 |
| leodi | hello, can u help me plz with folder permissions on HD from live usb | 15:54 |
| Carpe|Diem | magma: find the uninstall script in the program"s install folder | 15:54 |
| nina666 | jon__, did that, it only gave me the cairo-dock-openGL...and btw i see no General also... | 15:54 |
| logavanc | Totally random quick question... does anyone know the official name of the icon or menu in the top right corner of the desktop? I need to reference it in an official document... | 15:55 |
| hroi | Im wanting rsync to copy files and any changes to files... but not delete files at its destination | 15:55 |
| OriginalYank | ok, made it past "install Ubuntu" to select a language screen, now keyboard's totally dead. No keys responting | 15:55 |
| hroi | is this possible? | 15:55 |
| ohad_ | jon__, but when I went to the PPA, I saw they do have 12.04 builds available | 15:55 |
| martijn_dekker | Carpe|Diem, every permutation of alt, winkey and rmb I have tried so far still behaves the same | 15:55 |
| magma | Carpe|Diem, What if there is no uninstall script ? | 15:55 |
| jon__ | nina666, in compiz config manager (ccsm) what options do you see then? | 15:56 |
| Carpe|Diem | magma: than you will have to uninstall manually... | 15:56 |
| Carpe|Diem | martijn_dekker: ok, well im sorry but i cant help you...im not familiar with your proble;ms :( | 15:56 |
| kinenkaya | OriginalYank: Have you tried changing the batteries? Also try plugging in to a different port(assuming you're running usb). I've also had some small success with that kind of issue using a PS2 adapter for the reciever, if you have one available. | 15:57 |
| leodi | folder permissions from Live ubuntu stick, plz help | 15:57 |
| martijn_dekker | Carpe|Diem, that's alright. Neither am I. I was planning to switch to Xubuntu anyway, but I still have Ubuntu on a few systems so it seemed worth trying to at least figure out why my user interface has gone all to hell :P | 15:57 |
| martijn_dekker | Thanks anyway | 15:57 |
| nina666 | jon__, oh... my bad.. thought openGL has to be in the main settings! sry for that, ok now that i've run the program, i see General tab, several options with openGL ticked... so now...? | 15:58 |
| Carpe|Diem | martijn_dekker: you"re welcome. If it may be any comfort to you, i realy dislike unity and gnome3 also... | 15:58 |
| logavanc | Nevermind... device menu I guess. | 15:58 |
| martijn_dekker | Yeah, it sort of is. I just want to go back to Gnome2, but I also want an OS and DE that's actually up-to-date.. and Gnome2 is not exactly being maintained well, I understand. | 15:59 |
| martijn_dekker | Meh >_> | 15:59 |
| bazhang | !notunity | martijn_dekker | 15:59 |
| ubottu | martijn_dekker: 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 | 15:59 |
| jon__ | nina666, click on OpenGL. Under that you'll see an option called Sync to VBlank. Make sure that's unchecked. | 15:59 |
| Carpe|Diem | martijn_dekker: true... | 15:59 |
| Carpe|Diem | im facing the same dillema | 16:00 |
| Carpe|Diem | i even thought of moving to debian | 16:00 |
| Carpe|Diem | they still have gnome2 mainstream | 16:00 |
| jon__ | ohad_, can you give me the ppa you're using | 16:00 |

| Carpe|Diem | martijn_dekker: ok, well im on ubuntu classic and its no use | 16:02 |
| jon__ | nina666, I had the same issue as well. From what I understand, there were two engines running in the background. Removing the VBlank, stops them from "fighting" with each other. | 16:02 |
| Carpe|Diem | its not gnome2 like i know it | 16:02 |

| locsmif | Running Firefox... image title hover not working for XKCD... why? | 16:07 |
| kinenkaya | OriginalYank: dont suppose you have a spare keyboard you could try out? otherwise perhaps looking to see you dont have any restrictive settings turned on in your bios. I've always had an abundant amount of keyboards around so I've always been able to get around it. | 16:07 |
| nina666 | jon__, thanks alot anyways... :) for both solving my issue and the info.. ;) | 16:07 |

| SmartTowel | using ubuntu 12 | 16:10 |

| gunavara | hello everyone, i have this very very annoying problem: i got a new videocard (nvidia gtx 295) and i cannot install any linux normally. When i try to install ubuntu it freezes before it finishes to load the livecd. I tried kubuntu (even with nomodeset) it does not install normally - KDE seems bugged, blinking etc. I tried fedora, opensuse (with same options - same thing) All images downloaded yesterday and working on my laptop. I h | 16:31 |
| brdxufan | compdoc, i don't how to do | 16:32 |
| Carpe|Diem | mrtaran: possibly...have you checked logs? | 16:32 |
| Carpe|Diem | brokenc: does the windowsxp entry still work? | 16:32 |
| compdoc | brdxufan, how to do what? | 16:32 |
| brokenc | Carpe|Diem: yes, that is the OS she is using now that linux failed | 16:32 |
| ohad_ | jon__, no I don't. what should I do? | 16:32 |
| Carpe|Diem | ok | 16:32 |
| Carpe|Diem | brokenc: paste the output of sudo fdisk -l | 16:33 |
| brdxufan | compdoc, sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -hda xp.img -cdrom Ghostxp.iso Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory | 16:33 |
| brdxufan | failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory | 16:33 |
| brdxufan | Back to tcg accelerator. | 16:33 |
| jon__ | ohad_, this requires you to reboot so enter this in the terminal only when you've closed down all your applications: shutdown -rF now | 16:33 |
| compdoc | brdxufan, install virt-manager, and use that to build VMs | 16:34 |
| ohad_ | and then after I get back here you will tell me what to write in the terminal in order to run fsck? | 16:34 |
| seanlew | ? | 16:35 |
| Carpe|Diem | seanlew: whats your username? | 16:35 |
| Carpe|Diem | and | 16:35 |
| jon__ | ohad_, that command reboots your computer and before you boot into your drive, it runs a file system check (fsck) | 16:35 |
| Carpe|Diem | you wanna change your bash prompt, right? | 16:35 |
| jon__ | the reason being, you can't run a fsck while you're booting from that partition ohad_ | 16:36 |
| brdxufan | compdoc, i install virt-manager too | 16:36 |
| ohad_ | jon__, oh, it will automatically run the fsck. will I be asked questions there that I should know how to answer? | 16:36 |

| Carpe|Diem | sorry | 16:42 |
| seanlew | 255x3 | 16:43 |
| seanlew | I have dhcp and dns | 16:43 |
| brdxufan | compdoc, You can give me a link to download the iso file.i think the question is iso file | 16:43 |
| seanlew | and its registered in DHCP as a lease | 16:43 |
| locsmif | You configure the gateway yourself? Is it a xDSL or cable modem? | 16:43 |
| seanlew | no we have dhcp server | 16:43 |
| brdxufan | compdoc, i need xp iso file | 16:44 |
| locsmif | seanlew: you have a separate DHCP server? You're running a small business network? | 16:44 |
| seanlew | large business but yes | 16:44 |
| compdoc | brdxufan, best to make a copy of your CD | 16:44 |
| xskydevilx | Any ideas, folks? | 16:44 |
| seanlew | Domain controller | 16:44 |
| seanlew | dhcp server dns server | 16:44 |
| locsmif | So is the gateway on the same switch as the host you're on? | 16:44 |
| seanlew | yes | 16:44 |
| === danUdS is now known as Joupi | ||
| locsmif | Is the gateway running Linux and allowing ICMP properly? | 16:45 |
| locsmif | What does tcpdump tell you? | 16:45 |
| seanlew | its a Juniper Netscreen and yes ICMP is allowed out | 16:45 |
| seanlew | but I can ping addresses from PC all day long | 16:45 |
| seanlew | not from ubuntu | 16:45 |
| brdxufan | compdoc, i make iso use the cd ,no cp the iso,the question is this? | 16:45 |
| locsmif | ICMP is allowed out does not mean it is allowed *at* | 16:45 |
| bazhang | brdxufan, what iso | 16:46 |
| seanlew | I can ping from PCs | 16:46 |
| locsmif | seanlew: right | 16:46 |
| locsmif | seanlew: but you get no reply from the gateway | 16:46 |
| brdxufan | bazhang, xp | 16:46 |
| seanlew | or anything else | 16:46 |
| bazhang | brdxufan, how is that on topic here? | 16:46 |
| locsmif | seanlew: first you need to determine whether the ping packet arrives, then you can determine whether or not it replies. | 16:46 |
| seanlew | only on ubuntu server | 16:46 |
| seanlew | all other windows servers are normal | 16:46 |
| seanlew | I think its IPv6 | 16:46 |
| ohad_ | jon__, I did that shutdown thing, but no disk scan happend | 16:46 |
| locsmif | seanlew: if it doesn't reply, it filters ICMP *at*, if it does, your box is filtering ICMP replies | 16:47 |
| seanlew | but I cant disable that untilI can type correct keys | 16:47 |
| xskydevilx | Also, does anyone have this problem where flash sometimes shows a black screen in a browser? | 16:47 |

| DizzyFoxkit | Pici: thanks :) | 16:47 |
| jon__ | okay, try running update now | 16:47 |
| locsmif | seanlew: so only the Ubuntu server gets no ping reply from the gateway, and it's on the same switch as the gateway and the windows servers | 16:47 |
| Jacta | md5 | 16:48 |
| Jacta | md5 > Jacta | 16:48 |
| seanlew | correct loc | 16:48 |
| ohad_ | even though there was no scan happening? ok | 16:48 |
| locsmif | seanlew: you really ought to start sniffing network traffic for diagnosis | 16:48 |
| seanlew | its IPv6 issue | 16:48 |
| ohad_ | still "bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing..................." and gets stuck on 100% [Waiting for headers] | 16:48 |
| seanlew | I have found the answer all over google people having same issue on network | 16:48 |

| bakarat | i can't get get my dual screen setup to work. the 3D card is a nvidia 8600 gts, i've tried vanilla drivers & proprietary. I've tried twinview & xinerama, nothing works, where to start debugging? | 17:05 |
| bouncysteve | locsmif: I've set up an authorative DNS locally, which seems to work fine, but DNS servers from that server aren't getting to the outside world. | 17:05 |

| bazhang | bakarat, xrandr? | 17:06 |
| bakarat | imbezol, well it's kind of all over the place. if i use twinview or vanilla drivers with xrandr, i get one screen that functions and one that doesn't. xinerama will leave one screen with a blank desktop and the other "powered on" but no picture (as in, it seems the screen detects something but nothing is shown) | 17:07 |
| bouncysteve | locsmif: sorry, DNS *requests*. I think this is a resolvconf problem. Can't seem to get the nameserver from network/interfaces to be used. | 17:07 |

| bakarat | imbezol, bazhang if i have proprietary drivers enabled, the xrandr utility detects one screen called "LAPTOP", if the vanilla drivers are activated, it detects them properly | 17:07 |
| bakarat | imbezol, bazhang to complicate things further, yesterday i _did_ get picture on my second screen using vanilla drivers but the screen was rather fuzzy and text was half white, half orange. i tested the screen on another pc and it works just fine | 17:08 |

| bouncysteve | locsmif: the server has a static ip, has dns-nameservers entry pointing at the router, which also appears in resolv.conf, but nslookup states no nameservers | 17:11 |

| xskydevilx | sirkhctiw; Would you say the x86 version doesn't have those problems? | 17:18 |
| bouncysteve | sancas: it's difficult to boot from raid. create a /boot partition on one of the drives and install grub there. | 17:18 |

| mwallacesd | Hi, this is the second time that my system crashes (froze and I had restart forcing by press button power)... The first time I just restart and could work properly, but now my sound system is not working and I could not fix it. The commands "alsamixer", "aplay -l", "speaker-test -D plughw 0.0 -t sine", "alsactl store" works but is not take any effect on the system, I can not hear anything. | 17:19 |

| xskydevilx | sirkhctiw; I was using the 32-bit version of a few of my older PCs, and haven't noticed any such issue, yet as soon as I get x64 on this main system, it starts glitching. | 17:19 |

| brokenc | compdoc: i have often seen this but the computer does not seem to make it that far into the boot process anymore | 17:27 |
| LukeNukem | jrib, the iso is around 800mb but what about when upgrading for 11.10 to 12.04 | 17:27 |
| brokenc | compdoc: on this particular machine i have not seen the fsck run recently though | 17:27 |
| xskydevilx | sirkhctiw; Could it be because of the display drivers? | 17:27 |
| jrib | LukeNukem: it depends on what you have installed. The update-manager should inform you about how much it will download when you upgrade | 17:27 |
| compdoc | brokenc, in Disk Utility, does it say the drive is healthy? or does it say anything about bad sectors? | 17:28 |
| LukeNukem | i hope 12.04 supports all things 11.10 does and there are no compatability issues | 17:28 |
| brokenc | "disk is healthy" | 17:28 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 995318 in jockey (Ubuntu) "BCM4313 wireless dont works in 12.04" [Undecided,New] | 17:32 |

| blacklight | but still it won't work, now the network interface is not even recognized anymore | 17:32 |
| blacklight | i know it's a known issue with this driver, and the proposed workaround was to install the new firmware and blacklist the old module, but still it won't work here | 17:33 |
| compdoc | brokenc, hmm, no, but you add options to grub when theres booting problems. But I cant think of any that would help you with your drive problem | 17:33 |
| bakarat | i'm having trouble with the current nvidia driver (295.40), how do i go about installing say "nvidia-173" which appears to be in the repos? do i have to uninstall the other one? can they both be installed at the same time? if so, how to indicate which one to use? | 17:33 |
| brokenc | compdoc: he seemed to think that because there was a working WinXP parition that was a good sign... | 17:34 |
| PRabyte | which one should i use to keep desktop cube to retain after reboot? none of them are working? | 17:34 |
| PRabyte | ompizconfig says Default, when i know i changed that | 17:34 |
| compdoc | brokenc, yeah, likely. At least theres a chance you can save your data | 17:34 |
| brokenc | compdoc: if i attempted to re-run the ubuntu installer, would that salvage my old data? | 17:35 |
| compdoc | brokenc, can it boot ubuntu at all? | 17:35 |

| brokenc | compdoc: yea i tried that it just says "NOT clean" | 17:37 |
| compdoc | can you access your files with the livecd? | 17:37 |
| compdoc | what needs to be saved? | 17:37 |
| brokenc | compdoc: lol, i can access them, but i'll have to ask the user what she needs. :( | 17:38 |
| jon__ | ohad_, sorry about that I was a bit busy | 17:38 |
| compdoc | brokenc, dual boot is always problematic. | 17:38 |
| brokenc | compdoc: though, if i just get her home folder i'm guessing that will be 99% of it | 17:39 |
| locsmif | bouncysteve: any luck? | 17:39 |
| compdoc | brokenc, yup | 17:39 |
| locsmif | Sniffing is the answer to all of your problems ;-) | 17:39 |
| ohad_ | jon__, I'm still here | 17:39 |
| brokenc | compdoc: any last minute suggestions for the migration... is there an app to make it smoother? or should i just drop the old home into the new install? | 17:39 |
| bouncysteve | locsmif: no output from the first command. I'm running named -g at the moment... | 17:40 |
| locsmif | bouncysteve: that's because it writes to a file in tmp | 17:40 |
| jon__ | great, I still think there might be disk errors that are causing your issue ohad_ | 17:40 |
| locsmif | If it writes nothing, there is no outgoing DNS traffic at all | 17:40 |
| locsmif | But you won't see how much tcpdump wrote until you press CTRL-C (you do something like: host www.example.org in a seperate console tab) | 17:41 |
| jon__ | if you have your ubuntu live cd you could boot from that and in the terminal run 'fsck /dev/sd*' | 17:41 |
| limonabc | I try to install ubuntu 12.04 in my computer and and fail but did not display any message | 17:41 |
| bouncysteve | locsmif: yes, but that's because it's not aware of any DNS servers? | 17:41 |
| jon__ | ohad_, if you have your ubuntu live cd you could boot from that and in the terminal run 'fsck /dev/sd*' | 17:41 |
| compdoc | brokenc, if it were me, Id use clonezilla to back up everything. When I install a new OS to my servers, the conf files in /etc are important to me | 17:41 |
| blacklight | again, is any of you aware of a valid way for fixing the issue with broadcom wifi cards in 12.04? i'm using BCM4313 on my laptop | 17:41 |
| locsmif | Then you read with: tcpdump -r /tmp/dump -n (add verbosity options as desired) | 17:41 |
| brokenc | compdoc: thanks for your time. :) | 17:41 |
| locsmif | bouncysteve: if tcpdump really showed no outbound DNS connects | 17:41 |
| locsmif | bouncysteve: then config is borked | 17:42 |
| ohad_ | jon__, I tried doing this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480604&highlight=signatures+invalid&page=3 but still no good | 17:42 |
| locsmif | bouncysteve: if resolv.conf points to localhost due to your setup then you have to add -i lo to make tcpdump listen on localhost | 17:42 |
| ohad_ | jon__, I do have my live CD | 17:42 |
| limonabc | there is someone who can advice about get error installation for ubuntu 12.04? | 17:42 |

| jon__ | ohad_, you could try that. If that doesn't work, then I'm sorry but I can't think of anything else off hand =\ | 17:45 |

| ohad_ | jon__, it's a brand new notebook and an installation from 3 days ago, so I wonder how can it be damaged | 17:46 |

| locsmif | qmr: ah, I see, you're trying to have the server disallow password auth for root, this has nothing to do with configuring your client... | 17:47 |

| mikere | davidh: which is where I'm at on my system right now =) | 18:02 |

| blacklight | klest: it's the same on ubuntu as well, apt-cache is here too, even though most of the times i feel more comfortable with apt-file | 18:08 |
| gskellig | After upgrading to 12.04, when I boot I get a black screen.. forever. Can anyone help? | 18:08 |
| blacklight | gskellig: try to start ubuntu with vga=normal at grub screen and check if it works like that, it sounds like a framebuffer issue | 18:08 |
| gskellig | I'm at grub now, how do I do that? | 18:09 |
| klest | blacklight: thx! the first portion of questions is OK ) | 18:09 |
| jon__ | ohad_, hmm, try removing the ppas and their fingerprints, then re-add them again so that they now get the new fingerprints from the new server. | 18:09 |
| === marco is now known as Guest45553 | ||
| blacklight | gskellig: try with c or e key, i can't remember which one to use to edit grub command line | 18:10 |
| dixoncx | blacklink: that means..? i didn't understand | 18:10 |
| blacklight | once you see the command line, add vga=normal, and if there's already another vga entry, just delete it and pass vga=normal | 18:10 |
| ohad_ | how do I remove their fingerprints? | 18:10 |
| ohad_ | jon__,how do I remove their fingerprints? | 18:10 |
| gskellig | Same thing when I booted with VGA=normal | 18:11 |
| Optichip | any known issues with uploading pictures after an update? my shutter gives json errors for Imgur, perl errors for ITmages and I can't upload via web browser either after an update. | 18:11 |
| blacklight | gskellig: vga=normal, not VGA=normal | 18:11 |
| gskellig | vga=normal lower case sorry, I'm on my phone it auto corrected. | 18:11 |
| jon__ | ohad_, under software sources again, click on the authenication tab and look for the webupd8 key file and remove it | 18:12 |
| gskellig | I put it at the top. | 18:12 |
| ohad_ | oh, ok | 18:12 |
| brokenc | would a poor laptop battery account for failed services such as hwclock and plymouth? | 18:12 |
| mikere | Well, here we go - installing grub to /dev/cciss/c0d0 | 18:12 |
| blacklight | gskellig: hmmmm then it's not a framebuffer or vga driver issue...it's probably a problem with grub, restart the system from ubuntu live cd, open a terminal, chroot to your root partition of ubuntu on the hard disk, and try update-grub | 18:12 |
| gskellig | Also booted into recovery and tried "failsafex" and still wouldn't boot | 18:12 |
| becker_11 | brokenc: have you tried running it on A/C to see if the problems still occur | 18:12 |
| Vuth | hi can someone please give me the network settings for this room | 18:13 |
| zsolt | hi there!accidentally deleted init.d script.how to reinstall it? | 18:13 |
| brokenc | becker_11: i am running it with AC and battery, should i remove batter? | 18:13 |
| becker_11 | brokenc: no | 18:13 |
| becker_11 | Vuth: +CLcfjnt | 18:13 |
| zsolt | searched a lot didn't find any soulution | 18:14 |
| zsolt | thank you | 18:14 |
| blacklight | zsolt: force reinstall the package associated to the init.d script you deleted (e.g. bitlbee, gdm...) | 18:14 |
| brokenc | becker_11: winxp tells me to replace battery. ubuntu just doesn't boot i get hwclock and plymouth failing | 18:14 |
| becker_11 | zsolt: run the live cd and email it to yourself maybe | 18:14 |
| mikere | man these old servers take a long time to boot | 18:14 |
| Optichip | Vuth: what do you need? | 18:14 |
| gskellig | Cannot create /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: read only file system | 18:14 |
| becker_11 | brokenc: if you on ac I wouldn't have thought it would be a proble | 18:14 |
| Vuth | hang on | 18:14 |
| Optichip | gskellig: vi grub.cfg and save with a :q! | 18:14 |
| brokenc | becker_11: i have seen before laptops that even on AC if battery is poor, it will not work properly | 18:15 |

| Optichip | gskellig: ! will force the write. | 18:18 |
| becker_11 | Optichip: gskellig maybe nano would be better then | 18:18 |
| gskellig | More or less. I'm more familiar with nano | 18:18 |
| gskellig | I don't know what the changes are. I was just running update-grub | 18:18 |

| zaitzev | Hey. I changed my server eth0 to use DHCP instead of static ip, and in my router I have pointed the server MAC to be assigned the ip 192.168.1.100, but it gets .142 for some reason - what gives? | 18:19 |
| Khmerog | finally get to use x-chat | 18:20 |
| Optichip | zaitzev: mac address correctly formed and no type-o? | 18:20 |
| Optichip | Khmerog: grats ;) | 18:20 |

| Optichip | zaitzev: can you pastebin both your ifconfig and modification to DHCP file. | 18:21 |
| gskellig | What does update-grub do to grub.cfg? I will try to make the edits manually and save with view | 18:21 |
| gskellig | Vi* | 18:21 |
| Optichip | gskellig: makes sure you don't mess up the cfg file ;x | 18:22 |
| gskellig | =\ | 18:22 |
| gskellig | Oh lol | 18:22 |
| Optichip | gskellig: but if you know what you're modifying then you can just use your editor. | 18:22 |
| BurritoBazooka | Anyone here familiar with CairoDock? Their channel is next-to-empty. Anyone know where it stores its plugin scripts? (I'm using 3.0.0, the one in the Ubuntu repo is an earlier version) | 18:22 |
| Optichip | BurritoBazooka: a little. | 18:22 |
| gskellig | Optichip my problem is after grub my screen just goes black lol.. I don't really know what the problem is | 18:22 |
| becker_11 | gskellig: always make a backup before you edit I usually add my initials so grub.cfg.nfo etc | 18:22 |
| gskellig | Just upgraded to 12.04 | 18:23 |
| gskellig | I didn't edit anything | 18:23 |

| chmac | In Unity 2d should I be able to drag a window to the top to maximise, and right/left to panel to 50% of the screen? | 18:24 |
| Optichip | gskellig: not sure if nomodeset applies to ubuntu but you can try to append that to your kernel line in grub.cfg | 18:24 |
| gskellig | I was using bumblebee before updating ton12.04 | 18:25 |
| gskellig | To* | 18:25 |

| Optichip | gskellig: sec lemme scroll up | 18:44 |
| negrito | zykotic10: x86-64 = 64bit? Isn't x86 = 32? | 18:44 |
| zykotic10 | negrito: yup | 18:44 |

| Areckx | jrib:: seeing if it'll fix my problem, GNOME disappeared | 18:44 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: what does your router say? | 18:44 |
| zsolt | i just deleted accidentally postgresql's init script | 18:44 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: secondly get on the console, not ssh | 18:44 |
| dekuked | ?: https://gist.github.com/2661634 | 18:44 |
| jrib | Areckx: 10.10 isn't supported. Why don't you upgrade to 12.04? Or if you prefer, troubleshoot your issue on 10.04 | 18:44 |
| mrtaran | optichip: basically yea.. it had me reboot and then on reboot it doesnt go anywhere after battery check | 18:44 |
| Optichip | gskellig: you can try to pass the command with a e then nomodeset and see if it boots | 18:45 |
| zaitzev | tyler_d: I am on the console, but I tried ssh'ing to see what would happen. | 18:45 |
| negrito | zykotic10: and i686 = x86 = 32bit? | 18:45 |
| mrtaran | optichip: another possibility interesting pic of syslog --> http://imgur.com/yrbUp | 18:45 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: on the console.. pastebin `ip a` | 18:45 |
| zykotic10 | negrito: yup | 18:45 |

| hanasaki | is there a good way to mount an ftp site as a filesystem so an html file can be edited directly? | 18:45 |
| Areckx | jrib:: the ubuntu docs said I have to upgrade individually??? So I need to go 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 | 18:45 |
| negrito | hm... ok | 18:45 |
| negrito | thanks man | 18:45 |
| jrib | Areckx: not between LTS releases. 10.04 and 12.04 are both LTS and upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 directly *is* supported | 18:46 |
| Areckx | jrib:: I tried doing 12.04 upgrade but it didn't work | 18:46 |
| seanlew | ok reasons as to why network card can get DHCP but then not get out? | 18:46 |
| Areckx | jrib:: oh, | 18:46 |
| jrib | Areckx: "didn't work" is too vague | 18:46 |
| zaitzev | tyler_d: http://paste.ubuntu.com/982192/ | 18:46 |
| Areckx | jrib:: I'll try doing that then, update-manager -d | 18:46 |
| Optichip | seanlew: incorrect default route | 18:46 |
| jrib | !who | zaitzev | 18:46 |
| ubottu | zaitzev: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 18:46 |

| jrib | zsolt: ok, and what did you do to try to restore it? | 18:46 |
| Optichip | seanlew: route from the terminal and look for default route, is it pointed to the right addresss. | 18:46 |
| zaitzev | jrib: um, sup? :) | 18:47 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: did you try radeon driver from AMD? | 18:47 |
| jrib | zaitzev: sorry, completion mistake :) | 18:47 |
| seanlew | opti: yes default is pointed to gateway 10.1.0.1 | 18:47 |
| zaitzev | jrib: no problemo hehe | 18:47 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: so your router has 00:12:3f:20:bb:c2? | 18:47 |
| Optichip | seanlew: can you ping gateway address | 18:47 |
| Areckx | jrib:: Ideally, I would just like to completely wipe the partitions, install from scratch with seperate partitions so I can multi-boot, but I don't have a reliable cd drive and no access to a usb stick... my friend is looking for his | 18:47 |
| seanlew | no | 18:48 |
| Fleck | Optichip did not help, still have the same errors in dmesg | 18:48 |
| mrtaran | optichip im not very experienced in linux... i do know how to read though.. would you like me to try to remove and install the ati driver? | 18:48 |
| jrib | Areckx: ok | 18:48 |
| zaitzev | tyler_d: that's the MAC i defined in the router, under static lease, yes. | 18:48 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest65385 | ||
| tyler_d | zaitzev: I have a hard time believing that as the router wouldn't give it a diff ip address; certainly not if its already in there.. 00:12:3f:20:bb:c2 | 18:48 |
| mrtaran | im not sure how to remove but im sure its easy to find out how to install ati drivers.. | 18:48 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: ok so its supposed to be "static" not "staticdhcp" | 18:48 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: maybe download driver from ATI and install it from prompt | 18:48 |
| Areckx | jrib:: I like 10.04, but 12.04 seems to be updated more, last time I did 12.04 I couldn't even access the internet, but that was beta | 18:48 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: it'll ask you to run aticonfig --initial after install. | 18:49 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: so you need to configure the server to have a static address, and not a dhcp | 18:49 |
| nytebytes | would someone help me install a broadcom wireless driver please | 18:49 |
| Guest65385 | Hellom so;ebody zrite french hereM | 18:49 |
| gskellig | "General error mounting file systems" | 18:49 |
| zaitzev | tyler_d: My server is going to have dhcp setup, but my router is setup to lease out .100 to the server MAC. | 18:49 |
| Optichip | Fleck: message is? | 18:49 |
| gskellig | "A maintenance shell will now be started" | 18:49 |
| Areckx | Is there any reason, whatsoever, to continue using 10.04 instead of upgrading to 12.04? | 18:49 |
| mrtaran | optichip: should i be using nomodeset? | 18:49 |
| jrib | nytebytes: just go to Hardware Drivers or Restricted Drivers or whatever it's called nowadays | 18:49 |
| Optichip | gskellig: that's the shell | 18:49 |
| israel | Areckx: it has no errors lol | 18:49 |

| gskellig | Optichip I know just thought that would be a hint | 18:50 |
| Areckx | israel:: I really enjoy using 10.04 | 18:50 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: what happens when you simply set it as a static? and why aren't you doing it this way? | 18:50 |
| gskellig | General error mounting file systems | 18:50 |
| israel | Areckx: so do i | 18:50 |
| Areckx | I think I'm just going to tough it out, try to get GNOME back... and all the drivers that went along with it... and wait until I can get my hands on a usb stick, COMPLETELY reinstall the partitions so I can run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Debian Squeeze, and Winxp | 18:51 |
| zaitzev | tyler_d: I HAD it static, but all my other devices and computers are set to DHCP, some of them defined in my router with a static lease ip | 18:51 |
| Areckx | E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2) | 18:51 |
| Areckx | so what the heck is going on? I did sudo aptitude install amarok and now GNOME is gone???? | 18:52 |
| Optichip | Fleck: Laserjet 1018? | 18:52 |
| Fleck | yes | 18:52 |
| seanlew | Ok I found someone with same setup... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923235 but no answer | 18:52 |
| Areckx | and how do I remove xubuntu? | 18:52 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: ok, so your not doing it on a server though? | 18:52 |
| xangua | Areckx: whatever you did was not only that | 18:52 |

| jrib | Areckx: what did aptitude say it was going to do when you executed the command to install amarok? It won't remove things without telling you | 18:52 |
| zaitzev | tyler_d: merely to "centralize" the maintenance of who gets what ips and whatnot. Instead of fiddling around with it on the server, which might get several reinstalls and or multiple boots | 18:52 |
| gskellig | I give up | 18:52 |
| mrtaran | optichip: sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates right? | 18:52 |
| Optichip | Fleck: seems to be an issue maybe with newer kernels? see if you can find a patch fo rit. | 18:53 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: you can try that yes | 18:53 |
| zaitzev | tyler_d: doing what? | 18:53 |
| mrtaran | k | 18:53 |
| Areckx | jrib:: it kept having prompts and then one popped up asking if I wanted it to automatically say yes | 18:53 |
| mrtaran | brb | 18:53 |
| jrib | Areckx: well what did the prompts say...? | 18:53 |
| KingKatari | is there a command on ubuntu 12.04 server to list all users? | 18:53 |
| Fleck | Optichip yes, i think so too... | 18:53 |
| jrib | KingKatari: getent passwd | 18:53 |
| Areckx | jrib:: don't remember specific packages, but just asked if I wanted to install/remove packages | 18:53 |
| tyler_d | zaitzev: are you saying you are setting this server up to merely re-install or reboot it consistently | 18:53 |
| jrib | Areckx: well, you have to read prompts, otherwise things happen that you don't want to happen | 18:54 |
| === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding | ||

| Areckx | jrib:: yes I should remember that for next time. Right now I'm going to restart after it finishes installed the 538 packages that were in missing recommends in synaptic | 18:54 |
| gskellig | No. I think its my dual graphics cards | 18:55 |
| Optichip | O.o | 18:55 |
| gskellig | Hybrid graphics cards laptops were not made for Ubuntu | 18:55 |
| zaitzev | tyler_d: Oh, no, but I installed and setup the server last night, and I haven't decided on what to run on it, I might have multiple OS's on it, and whatever. Emphasis on might | 18:55 |
| gskellig | Or any Linux for that matter haha | 18:55 |
| Optichip | gskellig: I didn't know you had dual gfx cards | 18:55 |
| gskellig | I said it earlier. Nvidia G210M and Intel integrated gfx card | 18:56 |
| gskellig | Laptop is Asus UL30VT | 18:56 |

| gskellig | I can disable the Intel one in the bios but that's it, and it doesnt help. It also reduces SATA performance when I do... | 18:57 |
| zaitzev | obviously, but that static is/can be defined in the router | 18:57 |
| Optichip | gskellig: intel would be the onboard one, nvidia being the one you can plug a monitor into | 18:58 |
| gskellig | I can plug a monitor in with either | 18:58 |
| gskellig | Its meant to run whichever i want | 18:58 |

| jeff__ | nick jeffw | 19:00 |

| zaitzev | tyler_d: do I need to do something similar on the server as well? | 19:04 |
| gskellig | My laptop actually wasn't optimus | 19:04 |
| mangdood_ | is there a way I can generate the default grub scripts? grub-customizer pretty much broke them for me | 19:04 |

| Prior48 | hi, i just changed from windows and everything works quietly fine, except two things, that seem to be related to alsa. 1.) My soundquality is terrible, everything sounds overdriven/distorted. I am using an realtek HDA-chip, buildin into my mainbord. 2.) the keyboard-shortcuts for Volume up/Volume Down/Mute don't work, all other keyboard shortcuts work fine, but they don't | 19:23 |

| === jeff____ is now known as jeff_jeff | ||
| Prior48 | I hope, someone could help me, I googled this for days now :/ | 19:23 |
| Optichip | Prior48: apt-get install pavucontrol | 19:24 |
| === jeff_jeff is now known as jeffw_ | ||
| Optichip | Prior48: then launch it and configure your card. | 19:24 |
| === jeffw_ is now known as jeff_w | ||
| Prior48 | oh | 19:24 |
| Prior48 | okay thanx | 19:24 |
| auronandace | !nickspam | jeff_w | 19:24 |
| Optichip | Prior48: sure thing :) | 19:24 |
| ubottu | jeff_w: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead. See also « /msg ubottu Guidelines » | 19:24 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: so some update and broken everything | 19:24 |
| jeff_w | sorry aurondance i am new to this | 19:25 |
| mrtaran | opti: well yea. there was a pretty interface beforehand, but i didnt update anything myself, it was automatic | 19:25 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: did you set the video driver for "Additional Adapters" and reboot first? | 19:25 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: or just do the updates? | 19:25 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: so you were listening to radio DURING the install? | 19:26 |
| mrtaran | opti: at the time it seemed they already had a driver so i dont think i set anything else but i dont remember | 19:26 |
| mrtaran | opti: yes.. i was drunk in the music i admit it | 19:26 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: meaning you chose the "Live" version. | 19:26 |
| mrtaran | opti: damn | 19:26 |
| jeff_w | is there someone here who can answer a RAID question? | 19:26 |
| sancas | ok i checked it Optichip and the bios not is the problem :) | 19:26 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: there should be a "install" version | 19:26 |
| mrtaran | opti: didnt even want the live version -_- | 19:26 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: there have been some installer issues with live versions | 19:26 |
| mrtaran | great to know | 19:27 |
| mrtaran | very good to know | 19:27 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: one more time mate! boot the usb and select Install | 19:27 |
| Fat-Thing | what's the terminal command to kill all ? i mean process? | 19:27 |
| mrtaran | so i reformat the usb drive, do again | 19:27 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: wait.. | 19:27 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: are you installing "TO" the usb from the usb? | 19:27 |
| mrtaran | no wonder my 40g partition isnt touched | 19:27 |
| mrtaran | from the usb | 19:27 |
| mrtaran | i dont want to burn a dvd.. | 19:28 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: so usb boot, select install | 19:28 |
| Mneumonic | Is anyone in here familiar with PCSX2 in Ubuntu? | 19:28 |
| mrtaran | right now i cant | 19:28 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: then pick the 40gig partition during the questions | 19:28 |
| mrtaran | when i boot from the usb it hangs | 19:28 |
| Prior48 | Optichip: this did not enhance my Quality... However, this manager doesnt seem to do anything different as the console-application "alsamixer" | 19:28 |
| zaitzev | Optichip: Does your 20 years of experience want to tell me how, if possible, I can mount the drives that are on this computer, on the server? I want the server to have rw access to them | 19:28 |
| mrtaran | the weird thing is i remember selecting install and selecting the 40g partition | 19:28 |
| Optichip | Prior48: it's very different then the alsa mixer | 19:29 |
| mrtaran | i often think of myself as making mistakes but im not that bad in real time.. hopefully i was just daydreaming | 19:29 |
| mrtaran | try again and just double check basically, right? | 19:29 |
| Optichip | Prior48: You should be able to modify the input and output devices and drop the levels down to acceptable listening levels. | 19:29 |
| Prior48 | Optichip: Oh, I found it - all application audio-streams were set to 150%, setting them to 100% fixed it, thanx | 19:29 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: I would reimage the USB then try to install again | 19:29 |
| Optichip | Prior48: :) | 19:30 |
| Optichip | Prior48: TOUCHDOWN! | 19:30 |
| mrtaran | k | 19:30 |
| Prior48 | Optichip: And how do I fix my Keyboard-shortcuts? | 19:30 |
| mrtaran | if it works all the way to the updating should i refuse to update? | 19:30 |
| Optichip | zaitzev: yes, you can google it, there are some good guides out there. | 19:30 |
| Optichip | Prior48: which ones? | 19:31 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: yes just get into the x session and rest for a bit :) | 19:31 |
| zaitzev | Optichip: awesomesauce, I'll try that =p | 19:31 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: at least 30 minutes of music after the install :) | 19:31 |
| mrtaran | lol | 19:31 |
| Prior48 | Optichip: All keyboard shortcuts work perfectly fine, even my media-keys for play/pause etc. Except for Those for lowering/increasing Volume and or Muting the volume | 19:31 |
| seanlew | ok I have ipv4 forwarding on | 19:32 |
| Optichip | Prior48: what keyboard? | 19:32 |
| Prior48 | Optichip: I googled it, and tried to set custom commands with the amixer command, it didn't work either | 19:32 |
| mrtaran | north carolina college radio was amazing | 19:32 |

| Prior48 | dunno, some cheap Keyboard from my supermarket ^^ | 19:32 |
| Optichip | Prior48: with volume buttons! love it | 19:32 |
| Optichip | Prior48: ok let's see if we can get it done | 19:33 |
| Prior48 | Optichip:as i said, mediakeys themself work fine, Play/Pause etc. work, so the keyboardlayout must be fitting, mustn't it? | 19:33 |

| auronandace | !lubuntu | superboom | 19:41 |

| MonkeyDust | !notunity| superboom | 19:46 |
| ubottu | superboom: 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 | 19:46 |

| ch33z | can someone pm me ill give them root access | 19:50 |
| ch33z | since i have a small problem with my server | 19:50 |
| ch33z | buts it a simple method i just dont know what it is | 19:51 |
| mrtaran | that is a very good point | 19:51 |
| OerHeks | mrtaran, yes please, updates and file install work simultaneously | 19:51 |

| Optichip | Prior48: oh thought you said it did before the gnome-shell install | 19:52 |
| Prior48 | it did! | 19:52 |
| fidel | if you think youneed to do that - consider NOT running a productive-server in the first place. please dont get that wrong - but its a dangerous offer | 19:53 |
| Prior48 | but now it isnt ;( | 19:53 |
| Prior48 | :_( makes me a sad Prior :( | 19:53 |

| meisth0th | i don't trust random people making package | 19:58 |

| Dyszx | zorry | 19:58 |
| Dyszx | thnz | 19:58 |
| armaturinis | gimp will be available maybe after 2 weeks, maybe after 3 | 19:58 |
| armaturinis | maybe later | 19:58 |
| meisth0th | wow | 19:58 |
| meisth0th | captain obvious speaks | 19:58 |
| ikonia | armaturinis: no it won't | 19:59 |
| OerHeks | meisth0th, you can build 2.8 yourself. | 19:59 |
| ikonia | armaturinis: it is unlikley it will end up in the 12.04 repos | 19:59 |
| armaturinis | im installed 2.8 from ppa | 19:59 |
| meisth0th | OerHeks, as i said i don't trust random people, and hell i am random :P | 19:59 |

| coolpro | OerHeks, thank you for the provided link. I used to use CanYouSeeMe.Org. If I do not forward a port to local machine, this site tells me that connection has been refused, in case of port forwarded on a router, i'm getting the error message Connection TimeOut. | 20:00 |
| LunaVorax | Does someone knows a good Skype alternative working on both Windows and GNU/Linux? | 20:00 |
| Optichip | Prior48: good luck on exams | 20:00 |
| ikonia | LunaVorax: just use skype | 20:00 |
| Prior48 | Optichip:thx | 20:00 |

| OerHeks | coolpro, oke, sounds like port is open, but service is not running/listening to that port. | 20:01 |
| ikonia | LunaVorax: if you need to chat to skype users, you need to use skype | 20:01 |

| LunaVorax | ikonia, I don't want to chat with Skype users, I want a VoIP software working on both Windows and GNU/Linux | 20:02 |
| armaturinis | because skype is closed source | 20:02 |
| coolpro | OerHeks. It IS running, since i can both access it from localhost and from other machines in my local network. | 20:02 |
| iceroot | LunaVorax: google talk | 20:02 |
| Guest2214 | why you are banned ? | 20:02 |
| ikonia | Guest2214: you're not | 20:02 |
| mrtaran | Optichip, device for bootloader installation。。 my 1 tb driveor the smaller partitionsfor example windows 7 or。。。？ | 20:02 |
| LunaVorax | iceroot, Pigdin doesn't support Voice on Windows | 20:02 |
| Guest2214 | i not enter in channel backtrack u.u | 20:02 |
| iceroot | LunaVorax: pidgin != google talk | 20:02 |
| mrtaran | last time I did this I did it automatically | 20:02 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: MBR? | 20:02 |
| ikonia | Guest2214: I told you when you used the nickname dyszx - you are logged in as root, you can't use the channel | 20:02 |
| iceroot | Guest2214: we dont support backtrack or there channel here | 20:03 |
| mrtaran | it says device for bootloader installationI am guessing it means mba | 20:03 |
| jeff_w | sigh I don't understand all these BIOS options, how can I get it to recognize my CD-ROM? | 20:03 |
| LunaVorax | iceroot, if you're talking about the software itself, it's an outdated piece of crap | 20:03 |
| LunaVorax | iceroot, but the protocol is nice | 20:03 |

| ch33z | fidel why not? | 20:05 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: yes | 20:05 |
| iceroot | LunaVorax: much better then skype | 20:05 |
| LunaVorax | than* | 20:05 |
| ch33z | Optichip well i have the websites on my box all of them work except for one | 20:05 |
| mrtaran | okay installing thank you! | 20:05 |
| ch33z | not sure if i created the settings wrong but yea | 20:05 |
| iceroot | LunaVorax: i dont care about correct english very much but thank you | 20:05 |
| Optichip | ch33z: check your httpd.conf | 20:05 |
| LunaVorax | Stil it's not good enough iceroot | 20:05 |
| OerHeks | LunaVorax, you can file a bugreport, but ubuntu does not maintain that package. | 20:05 |
| ch33z | kk | 20:05 |
| Optichip | ch33z: you can pastebin it and have someone review it | 20:05 |
| LunaVorax | OerHeks, not really, I would prefer use an alternative supported software | 20:06 |
| seanlew | ok | 20:06 |
| Optichip | ch33z: cat httpd.conf > pastebinit | 20:06 |
| seanlew | Still not able to get out of Ubuntu box | 20:06 |
| LunaVorax | But VoIP on Linux seems to be doomed to use proprietary softwares. Not a good thing. | 20:06 |
| seanlew | I can get a DHCP address if set to DHCP | 20:06 |
| Optichip | seanlew: did the route add correctly? | 20:06 |
| ikonia | LunaVorax: astrix | 20:06 |
| seanlew | it wont stay taht way | 20:06 |
| armaturinis | LunaVorax, you can use any same voip client on both, 'doz' and *nix | 20:07 |
| seanlew | can you give it to me again | 20:07 |
| seanlew | I reboot and it goes back | 20:07 |
| ch33z | weird | 20:07 |
| OerHeks | !voip | 20:07 |
| ubottu | VoIP is Voice over IP. The default VoIP client for Ubuntu is !Ekiga. There is also an xmpp voice component in !Empathy. Kubuntu Clients include Kphone and Twinkle. Proprietary Clients include !Skype and Gizmo5. VoIP server applications include Asterisk and Yate ( both in repositories ), FreePBX, and SipX. | 20:07 |
| ch33z | Optichip the httpd.conf seems to be empty | 20:07 |
| armaturinis | and then you could to connect with one your account | 20:07 |
| ch33z | but it shows all the websites on a live browser | 20:07 |
| LunaVorax | armaturinis, no, Pidgin for example doesn't support Voice chat on Windows | 20:07 |
| Optichip | ch33z how do you configure sites? | 20:07 |
| LunaVorax | ikonia, if you have a link for that mystrerious software you're talking about. | 20:08 |
| ch33z | i had someone in the chat here configure it | 20:08 |
| Optichip | ch33z: do you use webmin or something? | 20:08 |
| ch33z | nope no webmin | 20:08 |
| mrtaran | Optichip, I don't think I made a mistake last time。。。it looks the same this time | 20:08 |
| ikonia | LunaVorax: have a google for asterix VOIP | 20:08 |
| mrtaran | I have access to the radio and firefox | 20:08 |
| ch33z | its linux ubuntu server | 20:08 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: ah ok | 20:08 |
| mrtaran | this time I will not use them | 20:08 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: lol | 20:09 |
| LunaVorax | Ah, Asterisk, not "astrix" ikonia | 20:09 |
| ch33z | Optichip i can pastebin it again though if you so desire | 20:09 |
| seanlew | Opti can you give me the route again | 20:09 |
| Optichip | ch33z: if it's empty not sure what someone did for you | 20:09 |
| ch33z | hmm yea im not sure | 20:09 |
| mrtaran | I will let it automatically download the packages correct ? | 20:09 |
| Optichip | seanlew: you can try to set up static from shell | 20:10 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: yes | 20:10 |
| ch33z | Optichip its / etc / apache2 / httpd.conf | 20:10 |
| ch33z | correct file right? | 20:10 |
| Optichip | ch33z: should be, and are you running vhosts? | 20:10 |
| Optichip | ch33z: do you have vhost files or are they all in one file? | 20:10 |
| armaturinis | ok, i'm finishing beer and good night to all :)) GL | 20:10 |
| ch33z | Optichip yup i have vhosts | 20:10 |
| Optichip | ch33z: files that is... | 20:11 |
| ch33z | indeed sir | 20:11 |
| Optichip | ch33z: so you should have a single vhost file for that host, can you pastebin it? | 20:11 |
| mrtaran | I will keep you updated thanks again | 20:11 |
| ch33z | sure hld on | 20:11 |
| Optichip | mrtaran: oksir | 20:11 |
| gener1c | for some reason i manage to set up an adhoc on ubuntu for a single minut and then it shuts itself down | 20:11 |
| gener1c | any idea why?\ | 20:11 |
| gener1c | using the networking gui | 20:11 |
| Optichip | gener1c: does it have anything to connect to? | 20:12 |
| ch33z | Optichip where would the vhost file be at? just curious and all | 20:12 |
| gener1c | i have an internet connection on eth0 | 20:12 |
| gener1c | and the adhoc on wlan0 | 20:12 |
| wad | So my co-worker is doing a dist ugprade to 12.04 LTS. It's in the step where it installs the packages. It's on a Dell laptop. But it appears to be hung.... the screen is all fuzzy and jittery, with random pixels and noise, the mouse doesn't move anymore, and the CAPS-LOCK key won't turn on the indicator LED. The laptop indicates no disk activity. Anyone seen this? What should we do? Are he hoarked? | 20:12 |
| Optichip | gener1c: adhock is point to point, has to have something to connect to. | 20:12 |
| gener1c | im connecting as a client from my cell... | 20:13 |
| ch33z | got it | 20:13 |
| wad | It's an upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 | 20:13 |
| fidel | wad: i would check if you can login via ssh to get abetter impression what it is doing right now | 20:13 |
| wad | fidel: okay | 20:13 |
| Optichip | wad: ALT+F2 and see if you get a login | 20:13 |
| wad | Optichip, we tried that, nothing. | 20:14 |
| wad | The keyboard is not accepting input. | 20:14 |
| wad | We're trying to ssh into it now. | 20:14 |
| Optichip | wad: D6 series? | 20:14 |

| wad | Dell Latitude E6410 | 20:14 |
| ch33z | Optichip this is odd | 20:14 |
| zykotic10 | Optichip: might need ctrl+alt+f2 (assuming they are in Xorg) | 20:14 |

| ch33z | lol | 20:33 |
| Floyd42 | celthunder: hmm. thing is, it starts when i start a torrent download and stops when i quit. | 20:33 |
| Optichip | seanlew: HyperV? I didn't see you mention anything about that | 20:33 |
| celthunder | Floyd42: torrent client? | 20:34 |
| seanlew | I put it in a link when I said this is my setup same issue as this guy | 20:34 |
| Floyd42 | celthunder: and it's pinging some random ip addresses .. just wanna make sure it's safe and no-one is trying to infiltrate my system. | 20:34 |
| Optichip | seanlew: how have you configured the network adapater in HyperV? | 20:34 |

| Optichip | seanlew: ok | 20:34 |
| Optichip | seanlew: can you post the link for me? | 20:34 |
| celthunder | Floyd42: never heard of it might be the client being retarded...just make sure your ping isnt corrupted/root kitted / runnungi as root and youll be fine... | 20:35 |
| eitch | hi guys. I installed psensors and indicator-cpufreq and now they keep starting on login, how can i stop this? I don't want to deinstall the application | 20:35 |
| celthunder | Floyd42: either way...you should not be pinging every time you run your torrent client | 20:35 |
| unkn-error | dose someone know a program that can record a movie made with my webcam? | 20:35 |
| Floyd42 | celthunder: yeah, pretty sure ping isn't running as root. but it's extremely strange. | 20:35 |

| ch33z | not sure nautilus is corrupted or what not because it loads but gives me an error. But, when not in nautilus its fine. | 20:49 |
| Optichip | midnightmagic: mrtg or something that uses it. | 20:49 |
| Optichip | ch33z: sounds like your system is very unstable. | 20:50 |
| ch33z | OptiChip what should I do? | 20:50 |
| midnightmagic | Optichip: ok! | 20:50 |
| Optichip | ch33z: I would backup everything and reload myself. I don't know know your skill level though | 20:50 |
| ch33z | reload as redo all over again? | 20:51 |

| ch33z | I am a super newbie to ubuntu web servers | 20:51 |

| popey | ch33z: whats the problem? | 20:51 |
| popey | ch33z: what happens when you do "sudo apt-get update" | 20:52 |
| ch33z | nautilus seems to be corrupted popey | 20:52 |
| ch33z | ah ill try that hld on | 20:52 |
| Optichip | alan he's having lots of different issues, vhost not working, nautils errors etc. | 20:52 |
| ch33z | I actually updated this recently and not sure if that maybe caused the error | 20:52 |
| ch33z | vhosts seems to work | 20:52 |
| Optichip | oh it's working again? | 20:52 |
| ch33z | yup, just dont know where to add other new sites | 20:52 |
| ch33z | like i said i can view 3 ones that i added a while back but, not sure how to add new ones to the dir. | 20:53 |
| popey | ch33z: what makes you say nautilus is corrupted? | 20:53 |
| Optichip | ch33z: ahh well there are some great tutorials for adding vhosts to apache2 | 20:53 |
| ch33z | popey the sudo apt-get update works fine | 20:53 |
| popey | ch33z: ok, so what do you want to do next? | 20:54 |
| ch33z | well it seems corrupted to me because when I type "sudo nautilus | 20:54 |
| popey | ch33z: i.e. what's the goal? | 20:54 |
| ch33z | it runs and has an error | 20:54 |
| popey | dont type sudo nautilus | 20:54 |
| ch33z | my goal is add these tw new sites | 20:54 |
| popey | thats something you shouldn't be doing | 20:54 |
| popey | use gksudo nautilus if you absolutely must have a file manager running as root | 20:54 |
| Optichip | oh I didn't know you were doing THAT ;x | 20:54 |
| Optichip | nice catch popey | 20:55 |

| Fishscene | Keyboard emulation on Virtualbox without VBox tools is goofy. | 21:03 |

| Fishscene | Jacta: One of the beauties of Virtualization is the ability to take "snapshots". It saves the ENTIRE state of the Virtual Machine (VM) the moment you clicked the snapshot button. If things go wrong, you can revert to that exact moment you clicked the snapshot button. | 21:10 |

| Marqeaux | Why 10.10? It's not supported anymore. You should upgrade, or better: install 12.04.... | 21:45 |
| violinappren | beliveyourdream: stty size | 21:45 |
| beliveyourdream | violinappren: thanks a lot | 21:46 |
| davids | Fishscene: no i'm quite new to this SFTP...actually iwant this to check my SFTP client program | 21:46 |

| davids | Flannel : thanks....If You can tell me something more like its configurations... | 21:47 |
| beliveyourdream | violinappren: actually ... that's not the real size .. | 21:47 |
| dragonfly | davids, you won't have to configure anything....the default settings work quite well | 21:48 |
| Flannel | davids: You don't need to do any configuration, unless you're doing odd things. Just connect and login with your normal users. | 21:48 |
| alusion | my chromium will crash with youtube vids is it the ubuntu restricted extras I am supposed to download for flash support right? | 21:48 |
| beliveyourdream | violinappren: sorry ... it was reversed ... | 21:49 |
| violinappren | beliveyourdream: what "size" do you want to know? | 21:49 |
| skath | How do I add a secondary IP address to an interface on boot without creating an alias interface (like eth0:1)? I want only one logical interface eth0 with two ip addresses, the way you can get manually with iproute2 using "ip address add 1.2.3.4/24 dev eth0" | 21:49 |
| israel | alusion: maybe flash maybe the new format webm | 21:49 |
| beliveyourdream | violinappren: it's ok now .. i entered it wrong | 21:49 |
| israel | skath: it is that possible? | 21:49 |
| alusion | israel, Do you have any further info on webm? that is the first time I have heard of that | 21:50 |
| beliveyourdream | another question .... do you know that launcher from unity ? can i add a second one ?? | 21:50 |
| alusion | beliveyourdream, yes check out cairo-dock in ubuntu software center | 21:50 |
| alusion | beliveyourdream, Docky is also a good choice as well for such purpose | 21:50 |
| violinappren | beliveyourdream: nope | 21:50 |
| israel | alusion: it is a nee format that comes with html5 | 21:50 |
| beandog | alusion: webm is html5 compliant video. matroska + audio + video | 21:50 |

| shazzr | I'm installing Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer. It has a Asus mainboard, using UEFI. I can't boot after installing. After what I can understand, it has something to do with UEFI. | 21:52 |

| violinappren | beandog: no | 21:52 |
| jeffmjack | any advice on getting unity to work post 12.04 update? All I'm getting is a desktop with no icons/popups/file menu | 21:52 |
| davids | Anyone having idea about implementing SFTP in Python...I tried Libraries of: Pysftp, chilkat and also paramiko which is better ? | 21:52 |
| stanigator | how do i tell whether the program pry is installed on my ubuntu system? | 21:52 |
| xomp | hello, is there anyway to find who is attacking my ubuntu box via a DDoS attack? I would like to find out what IP address is doing the attack so I can use iptables to drop their traffic. | 21:53 |
| Flannel | davids: That's a question better suited for #python | 21:53 |
| violinappren | stanigator: #python | 21:54 |
| beliveyourdream | hmm ... it seems that just entering the size it's not what i expected ... is there a way to setup terminal to start maximized ? | 21:54 |
| stanigator | stanigator: this is a python question? | 21:54 |
| Elchzard | Under SEH Team | 21:54 |
| stanigator | violinappren: this is a python question? or shall i use python? | 21:54 |
| israel | iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --syn -m limit --limit 1/s -j ACCEPT | 21:54 |
| === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ | ||
| violinappren | xomp: to show all connections to the box: use: sudo netstat -pant | 21:55 |
| violinappren | xomp: but DDoS is usually initiated from a lot of IP addresses | 21:55 |
| xomp | I'm almost certain this attack is from a single address | 21:56 |
| violinappren | stanigator: sorry, it was meant for davids | 21:56 |
| xomp | since the traffic comming in isn't that impressive, like a home connection maybe a script kiddie using slow loris or something | 21:56 |
| davids | Flannel: that's very kind of You...You know it...so please clarify it...any other links (which can help me build my project of SFTP server - client) | 21:56 |
| violinappren | xomp: then use netstat and then use ufw to block it | 21:57 |
| xomp | thanks violinappren | 21:57 |
| violinappren | stanigator: to see if a package is installed: apt-cache policy packagename | 21:58 |
| Flannel | davids: I don't have any other resources, sorry. But I'm sure the guys in #python will be able to point you in the right direction | 21:58 |
| Oreck | I really need some help getting Ubuntu working properly on my laptop. I am completely new to Linux and just installed today. | 21:58 |
| davf | Am I missing something? I can't seem to find anything on changing the system sounds (theme) google shows nothings as well! | 21:59 |
| skath | israel: yep, best way I can figure to do it is add "up ip addr add x.x.x.13/27 dev eth0" to the static stanza in /etc/network/interfaces | 21:59 |
| davf | Only info I found is logon sound | 21:59 |
| jeeves_moss | tmg, thanks, I fixed it. Stupid syslog wasen't running and took everything down | 21:59 |
| violinappren | !details | Oreck | 22:00 |
| ubottu | Oreck: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:00 |
| tmg | jeeves_moss: :) and do you know why syslog wasnt up? | 22:00 |
| Oreck | I installed Ubuntu 12.4 on my Toshiba laptop. Install went fine, and everything works from the boot until I login. The desktop only loads about 50% of the time, and once it does, I am not able to do anything. | 22:01 |
| Oreck | It's not frozen per se, the mouse moves, and the computer responds to shortcuts, etc, but I can't launch any applications, settings, or anything. | 22:01 |
| pawanthegunner | @Oreck seems there is a prblem with your environment | 22:02 |
| Oreck | You mean a problem with the computer itself? | 22:03 |
| pawanthegunner | @Oreck no, with the desktop environment, Unity or Gnome shell if you use that | 22:03 |
| mrfre | i am having trouble with ndiswrapper. | 22:05 |
| pawanthegunner | @Oreck if you havent been able to do anything then try reinstalling n see if the problem persists | 22:05 |
| mrfre | i am having trouble with ndiswrapper. it see's that the hardware is present, driver is installed, but wont let me configure the wireless network device. | 22:05 |
| pawanthegunner | @mrfre what error does it show? | 22:06 |
| Oreck | If the problem persists, should I try a different desktop environment? | 22:08 |
| Oreck | Is that feasible? | 22:08 |
| Oreck | Honestly, I don't know which desktop it is. I just ran the ISO from Ubuntu.com... outta the box so to speak. | 22:08 |
| pawanthegunner | @Oreck if its default, its Unity | 22:08 |
| pawanthegunner | @Oreck unity shouldnt have any problems per se | 22:09 |
| jeeves_moss | tmg, it dies EVERY time I do an upgrade. There is over 100Gb free on the drive it lives on | 22:09 |

| night_shades | how about tunneling though? | 22:19 |
| jeeves_moss | tmg, won't help for their local e-mail, storage, etc. I don't want to take a HUGE amount of time. and the markup on a Windows box is HUGE! | 22:19 |
| Travis-42 | night_shades, the built in ssh tools will do all that | 22:20 |
| night_shades | ok | 22:20 |
| tailf | ssh should be a tunnel in itself, shouldn't it? | 22:20 |
| mcphail | night_shades: and ssh-agent is useful for key management | 22:20 |
| tmg | mcphail: and is evil | 22:21 |

| tailf | that reminds me... my workplace uses puppet etc to place keys into known hosts and the keys usually have a prefix with random letters and include [1] somewhere, before showing the "ssh-rsa ...etc". anyone know what this prefix could be? | 22:23 |
| tmg | mcphail: i know that it is a good and fine to use soft but when you come to paranoic security it is serious risk, you know what i mean? ;] | 22:23 |
| shashi | just put the live cd insystem trya and restart you comp. | 22:23 |
| jeffmjack | right i did that | 22:24 |
| jeffmjack | but should I actually resinstall from the cd? or will I lose everything in ~? | 22:24 |
| shashi | now yo ned to selct the option you need to do. | 22:24 |
| shashi | well i will giv eyo option to choose to install with windows or delete every thing. | 22:24 |
| jeffmjack | with windows? my computer never had windows on it | 22:25 |
| shashi | choose to install with with windows | 22:25 |
| jeffmjack | ok | 22:25 |
| shashi | wht do you have on your comp | 22:25 |
| jeffmjack | i had ubuntu 11.x | 22:25 |
| jeffmjack | upgraded to 12.04 and all hell broke loose | 22:26 |
| mcphail | tmg: the security implications aren't valid for most situations | 22:26 |
| shashi | oh ok you you can directly update from website | 22:26 |
| jeffmjack | hm ok | 22:27 |
| shashi | so you did update from website? | 22:27 |
| bpcomp | jeffmjack: what errors do you get? | 22:28 |
| jeffmjack | trying to now | 22:28 |
| shashi | if you have already a ubuntu on you system you can just update it from update mannager | 22:28 |
| jeffmjack | do this while live cd is in? | 22:28 |
| jeffmjack | the desktop is totally blank | 22:28 |

| bpcomp | but it comes up to a desktop? | 22:28 |
| jeffmjack | at first, i was getting rainbow after splash screen at startup | 22:28 |
| jeffmjack | fixed the | 22:28 |
| jeffmjack | yeah | 22:28 |
| jeffmjack | does come up to a desktop | 22:28 |
| bpcomp | can you run anything? | 22:29 |
| jeffmjack | but whatever app it is that makes the popups & file menus is gone | 22:29 |
| ohad_ | I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I get -1 for 'cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/i915_enable_rc6' and ASPM disabled. what's the reason for that? | 22:29 |
| jeffmjack | well, my shortcut to terminal still works | 22:29 |
| jeffmjack | I'm sure if i was more facile with the desktop env i could make stuff work | 22:30 |
| mcphail | jeffmjack: move the pointer HARD to the left and keep moving | 22:30 |

| jeffmjack | yeah | 22:30 |
| jeffmjack | i think so | 22:30 |

| msquarme | can anybody help me with this | 22:32 |
| shashi | if you reboot from live cd you might loose you previous data on the system | 22:32 |
| mcphail | jeffmjack: the unity bar autohides on the current release. I've found it sticky to unlock by moving to the left of the screen with a trackpad. You need to move the pointer fast and keep moving when you hit the left of the screen | 22:32 |
| msquarme | I am new to this room | 22:32 |
| shashi | even i dont like unity | 22:32 |

| jeffmjack | what's a good alternative to unity? | 22:33 |
| msquarme | really | 22:33 |
| shashi | xubuntu | 22:33 |
| bpcomp | there are several | 22:33 |

| shashi | well you dont have left side dock wich i hate most | 22:34 |
| escott | !notunity | jeffmjack | 22:34 |
| ubottu | jeffmjack: 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 | 22:34 |
| msquarme | I think u can remove it | 22:34 |
| mcphail | jeffmjack: does unity appear if you hold down the "windows" key? | 22:34 |
| shashi | you can? | 22:34 |
| shashi | how? | 22:34 |
| jeffmjack | mcphail: no | 22:35 |
| jeffmjack | but it does start to run from terminal | 22:35 |
| jeffmjack | then hangs up on flip_down_edge | 22:35 |
| jeffmjack | (setting update "filp_down_edge" | 22:35 |
| bpcomp | well jeff if your up for a little adventure we could try installing a new desktop | 22:35 |
| jeffmjack | sounds good to me | 22:36 |
| mcphail | jeffmjack: had you modified the unity interface with compiz-settings on your previous install? | 22:36 |
| jeffmjack | as long as we don't delete all my stuff, I don't care | 22:36 |
| msquarme | install gnome-session-fallback, | 22:36 |
| jeffmjack | hmmmmm | 22:36 |
| jeffmjack | maybe | 22:36 |
| jeffmjack | i put some patch in that made the bar popup on the bottom of the screen instead of the left | 22:37 |
| jeffmjack | and it wasn't a trivial job, felt like i was moving some weird stuff around under the hood to do that | 22:37 |
| mcphail | jeffmjack: that might be breaking things. Can you undo it? | 22:37 |
| jeffmjack | oof | 22:37 |
| jeffmjack | not sure | 22:37 |
| night_shades | i hate the standard install of ubuntu 12.04 with leftside panel showing icons, how do i remove or better yet move them to the bottom of screen | 22:37 |
| jeffmjack | i don't even remember what the name of that patch was or where it came from... | 22:37 |
| shashi | well i am not sure if we can remove left side pannel. | 22:38 |
| jeffmjack | you can.... at least on 11.x | 22:38 |
| shashi | but we can install cairo dock at the bottom. | 22:38 |
| bpcomp | if you want to try xubuntu the run this command | 22:38 |
| bpcomp | sudo apt-get update | 22:38 |
| jeffmjack | but apparently it might break on update ;) | 22:38 |
| bpcomp | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 22:38 |

| lostogre_ | I am having trouble with precise networking. The server that I just created has 6 ethernet ports and while it does come online, it stalls at the "starting networking" status. Right now, only two of the 6 ports are configured. | 22:40 |

| jeffmjack | mcphail: interesting | 22:41 |
| jeffmjack | yeah I'm still pretty new to it | 22:41 |
| msquarme | I said the cd size | 22:41 |
| jeffmjack | does doing a new install reformat the hard drive? | 22:41 |
| bpcomp | I have to agree with mcphail | 22:41 |

| jeffmjack | somehow i expected you to say that | 22:43 |
| bpcomp | so I've got a question about sound | 22:44 |
| bpcomp | I had it working but somehow I've broken it | 22:44 |
| mcphail | jeffmjack: sometimes finding the correct config directory to delete can solve all of the broken behaviour but I don't know what you delete to reset Unity | 22:44 |
| jeffmjack | yeah makes sense | 22:45 |

| bpcomp | and I can't get any sound out of it anymore | 22:46 |

| mcphail | jeffmjack: putting the close window button at the "easiest to hit" part of the screen was a poor decision. Having Unity pop up from the left was correct. | 22:48 |
| trism | DX099: you basically just type: script; do your work and then exit out, the output will be in a file called typescript | 22:49 |
| Jordan_U | _Tristan1: There is very little chance that this will work, but try "insmod linux" If that succeeds then you can use "linux /boot/vmlinuz... root=/dev/sdX; initrd /boot/initrd.img...; boot" | 22:49 |

| jrib | kgee: that link has some info about disabling encryption. Essentially, copy your files somewhere (after you login so they are decrypted), logout, then get rid of .ecryptfs (I think this is in /home now but I'm not sure, it could be ~ (check wiki)), put your decrypted files back in ~. | 22:59 |

| jrib | night_shades: what you said is incorrect | 23:03 |
| TheBootroo | mcphail: should the realtek wifi driver fix the problem ? | 23:04 |
| mcphail | TheBootroo: rtl8187 driver missing from the installer. It has been added to the d-i nic-usb-modules udeb and will be included in the 12.04.1 point release. | 23:04 |
| mcphail | TheBootroo: ...from the release notes | 23:04 |

| night_shades | thanks jrib | 23:06 |
| TheBootroo | mcphail: erf | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: Since the system almost certainly also has a BIOS implementation it's better to use that instead. It will avoid problems with linux graphics drivers (among other things). | 23:06 |

| shazzr | Jordan_U: uhm...how do I use that_ | 23:06 |

| jeffmjack | oh my | 23:07 |
| TheBootroo | mcphail: me neither | 23:07 |

| night_shades | why do acer aspire one 722 series netbooks require network boot enabled in bios in order to run ubuntu, because if you dont the computer basically freezes up | 23:08 |
| mcphail | TheBootroo: at least they are aware of the problem and are working to fix it. I'd strongly suggest you wait for the official ubuntu package | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: When you boot the normal Ubuntu Desktop CD you might get the option to boot it either via UEFI or BIOS, if you do then choose BIOS. If not, then you can use the +mac iso which has the [U]EFI bootloader *removed* so that it has to boot via BIOS. | 23:09 |

| mcphail | TheBootroo: i feel your frustration. Can you run 11.10 in the meantime and then upgrade after the point release? | 23:10 |
| mcphail | TheBootroo: was this box upgraded from 11.10 or a fresh install? | 23:11 |
| escott | mangdood_, /etc/profile or ~/.profile (and then source it in your bashrc) | 23:11 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: I use a USB stick to install... | 23:11 |
| TheBootroo | mcphail: fresh install, the computer was unused and running an old 10.10 | 23:11 |
| TheBootroo | i'm building an home server from it | 23:11 |
| TheBootroo | with apache2, ftp, ssh, and wifi hotspot | 23:12 |

| shazzr | Jordan_U: No. | 23:14 |

| fwiss | You see, I copied the theme to /usr/share/themes, but nothing seems to come up when I go to settings. | 23:35 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: FakeRAID is software RAID + firmware support to make it seem like real hardware RAID, and to make booting Windows from the RAID array possible. It's also somethimes called ScamRAID since it's almost never made clear when you buy such hardware that all of the RAID operations are done on the CPU. | 23:36 |
| i7c | why is jde (emacs java extention) package not available for ubuntu? o.O | 23:36 |

| escott | crash1hd, sure | 23:36 |
| crash1hd | escott, is there an easier way? | 23:36 |
| escott | crash1hd, no | 23:37 |
| fwiss | That is, System Settings -> Appearance still only shows | 23:37 |
| crash1hd | escott, ok I though maybe chmod had a way | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: If you're not using Windows then there is pretty much no benefit to FakeRAID over standard Linux mdraid, and there are a lot of disadvantages. | 23:37 |

| Jordan_U | shazzr: Did you know that you were using RAID at all> | 23:37 |

| regeya | tanin: it's always good to be more specific. | 23:54 |
| regeya | well...this is fun. | 23:55 |
| tanin | so need point in right direction Connecting two labtops both running ubuntu one 12.04 one 10.04 via ethernet | 23:55 |
| regeya | Friday night, and I guess all the helpful folks are off doing In Real Life stuff. Me, my kids are watching Enchanted and my wife is at a HS graduation. Yippie-ki-yay. | 23:56 |
| mcphail | tanin: what sort of connection do you need? | 23:56 |
| regeya | tanin: get a crossover cable, or plug 'em both into an ethernet switch. Viola. | 23:56 |
| electronics-cat | i have network enablers | 23:57 |
| kgee | All I have is a broken user account, and a guest account I cant get root from; If I boot to recovery mode I can get root, but the / fs is mounted read-only. If I try to mount it as read/write, the computer locks up | 23:57 |
| kgee | so I can't even get root access to the server to fix it :( | 23:58 |
| mcphail | regeya: I can see the purpose for the crossover cable, but the musical instrument??? | 23:58 |
| escott | kgee, just remount the / partition read-write | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | kgee: That generally means that you've got serious filesystem problems, which in turn are likely caused by hardware failure. | 23:58 |
| kgee | escott: how? the tool to automatically do this keeps freezing | 23:58 |
| kgee | Jordan_U: brand new fs on a virtual machine install; the fs is fine | 23:59 |
