[00:02] Are there any good slideshow programs for ubuntu? [00:03] NeedInterwebz_: e.g. [8086:1234] [00:03] [8086:4235] [00:03] imbezol, could you "cd" back into the protected dir? [00:03] anyone used wirecast before? [00:03] guestthor: libreoffice impress [00:03] nrdb: nope, you shouldn't be able to [00:03] NeedInterwebz_: thanks... hold on [00:03] j0hnsm1th: no but you could try askubuntu.com [00:03] nrdb: it should say permission denied [00:03] no problem [00:03] thank you :P [00:03] i can't select the correct audio source i always get audio from my fw input card as well [00:03] 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] nrdb: and if you were already in there i think you'll sometimes get an inode error or something of the sort [00:03] imbezol, I logged out, and logged back in and it still allowed me to do the same. [00:04] nrdb: can you give some specifics? like use a pastebin to show the permissions, usernames, etc? [00:04] hello again. I have a number of PDFs that I've merged with pdftk. One of them is unfortunately not in A4 portrait format but in A5 landscape. Is there an easy way to embed this PDF in an A4 portrait PDF or so? [00:04] nrdb: because if you can, something isn't set right [00:05] melodie: found that! So easy, just get official VLC PPA and get from there latest version! :D [00:05] NeedInterwebz_: this might be relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/420678 [00:05] Launchpad bug 420678 in Wireless Tools "[karmic] Intel WiFi Link 5300 sometimes not working on 5 GHz" [Undecided,New] [00:05] burububburu, right [00:06] oh NeedInterwebz_ from another pc, can you ping that damn pc? [00:06] then you can read videos having webm as forat [00:06] format [00:06] NeedInterwebz_: except that the report states it only affects 5GHz (802.11a) [00:06] No I can't [00:06] well it's weird [00:06] * filo1234 giv up [00:07] It says Destination Host Unreachable but then says 0 were lost and 4 were received [00:07] does that mean they sent and just didn't get the ICMP response? [00:07] for obvious reasons [00:07] imbezol, opps! my mistake... sorry. [00:07] NeedInterwebz_: that is weird :s [00:08] this whole thing is just unreal [00:08] I may just fresh install the partition [00:08] it could probably use it anyways [00:08] anyone here familiar with bluetooth can help me get this figured out? I'm wanting to download pics from my cell phone onto my laptop. under system prefs, bluetooth is ON, visibility is ON, and the phone shows up in the list of devices. it says PAIRED Yes, but CONNECTION only shows OFF and is disabled - i cant click/slide to enable it. any idea how I can get this enabled? [00:09] I had to do some significant gtk package repairing from the 12.04 install screwing it up [00:09] melodie: this->https://launchpad.net/vlc/ or this->ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa ? [00:10] 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] Does anyong have a link to a set of intructions for installing wine on 12.04? [00:10] guestthor: sudo apt-get install wine [00:10] guestthor: sudo apt-get install wine [00:10] I applied the kernel update with the 12.04 upgrade a couple of days ago [00:10] burububburu, I look [00:10] IntuitiveNipple: wich bug reports?

[00:11] imbezol, thanks that does seem to be doing what I want. [00:11] filo1234: The title is misleading... it turns out its 2.4GHx g vs n [00:11] burububburu, you can get 1.1.3, it's a good version [00:11] nrdb: np [00:12] IntuitiveNipple: uhmm karmic [00:12] filo1234: originally... but runs to relatively recent versions [00:12] melodie: I prefer the latest... Why 1.1.3 instead of 2.0.1? ;) Which of the two links should I use? [00:12] filo1234: thing is, it matches the symptoms [00:13] filo1234: NeedInterwebz_ "A dhcp lease is aquired, but no further data transmission is possible." === Bry8Star_ is now known as Bry8Star [00:13] burububburu, 1.1.3 works perfect for all my versions here. [00:13] Yeah, but why would it unearth now and work before...?

[00:17] Hmm whenever ubuntu upgraded it took away the kernel boot page after grub === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee [00:17] NeedInterwebz_: As the PC boots hold down shift key then the GRUB boot menu will appear and you can choose "Previous Versions" [00:18] burububburu, you can use the lines at vlc website: [00:18] http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html [00:18] NeedInterwebz_: press it as soon as BIOS is done POSTing [00:18] okay hold on [00:18] when?

[00:20] 3.0 generic [00:20] good night [00:21] NeedInterwebz_: that would be the one from Oneiric I think? [00:21] hello, im having serious glitches!!!, gnome stuff: crash.... [00:21] unity, very bugged: can't see dash [00:21] I think sooo [00:21] NeedInterwebz_: Just using a different kernel and initramfs is the test... if it works at least we have a clue! [00:21] anyone? [00:21] how about I do you one better than initramfs [00:21] Zungo: you can'y see what? [00:22] how about I LOAD A FUCKING WEBPAGE YES!

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

[00:22] NeedInterwebz_: language!! [00:22] NeedInterwebz_: my ears are delicate [00:22] Err, sorry >.> [00:22] I was excited lol [00:23] NeedInterwebz_: That means the PC will need reinstalling! [00:23] NeedInterwebz_: so you're telling me it has worked? [00:23] because the new kernel didn't install correctly? [00:23] Yes [00:23] 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] always same error [00:24] and unity runs but it's glitched: i have full unity but: i can't see dash, not even clicking [00:24] im in precise [00:24] but [00:24] 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] !enter | Zungo [00:24] Zungo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:24] it had been happening before! :(( [00:24] ugh [00:24] in the kernel I'm in now? [00:24] 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? [00:25] 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] 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] Haha no worries. I run that command in the older kernel yes? [00:25] chrisbdaemon: 10.10 is no longer supported [00:25] And thanks SO MUCH for your help! congrats on your one year anniversary :) [00:25] i have no clue about this :( and i want working ubuntu [00:26] 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-" [00:26] 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] Zungo: try logging in to another user account. [00:26] dsjk: it's the same!!! it's system-wide problem [00:26] 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] i suggest you reinstall unity. [00:26] Actually the tab complete shows all the options [00:27] wierd, [00:27] this bug happens only when root, but anyway [00:27] i have no shadows in windows [00:28] Zungo: are you using a virtual machine? [00:28] NeedInterwebz_: I think it'll be "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic" [00:28] That's what I have typed in :) [00:28] this is just more buggy than ever [00:28] Thanks again man! And congrats again on your anniversary [00:28] NeedInterwebz_: Yay! great team :) [00:28] Haha indeed :P [00:29] take it easy man! [00:29] NeedInterwebz_: you too! [00:29] NeedInterwebz_: it's 01:30 here, sleepy time [00:29] dsjk: nope, and i been having a bad graphics problem} [00:29] chrisbdaemon: well if you are offered a solution with outdated and no longer supported software i would say you have a problem with your provider [00:30] Is there any video player that can be changed to be completely borderless (like media player classic in windows)? [00:30] Zungo: someone in this channel might be able to help you. [00:30] ugh [00:30] xangua: yea, i bought it when 10.10 was current for like $5 a month.. i'm looking for alternatives as we speak..

[00:36] actually Zungo modaliases will not be available in 1204 [00:36] Zungo: ignore error on that or delete it. [00:36] i'm following someone's notes of how to align an ocz ssd with 30gb, but I have one for 60gb, so I need to change the numbers [00:36] however, I need to understand what they are saying [00:36] idiot then you are completly open, as you allready been told. [00:36] L3top: dude, idk, i just had been having troubles with radeon driver from the begining [00:36] the command is fdisk -H 32 -S 32 /dev/sda [00:37] OerHeks: what does that mean though exactly [00:37] what does this mean? [00:37] Did ubuntu get rid of it's netbook remix? [00:37] Zungo: the new radeon driver is pretty good really, and unfortunately your chipset is not supported by the fglrx [00:37] or did they roll it up into another installer? [00:37] Aaaaaaaand I'm back. [00:37] idiot wellll, read the conversation back from today, it is learnfull for you [00:37] !une | gbear14275 [00:37] gbear14275: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. [00:37] Zungo: sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri [00:38] xangua, thanks. Do you think 12.04 would be too bulky for an atom netbook? [00:38] OerHeks: i lost the logs [00:38] L3top: umm, also, i have 16 packages not installed. [00:38] properly+ [00:38] leave [00:38] So, here it is: if one doesn't care about things like tabs and background images and transparency and a slew of scrollbar options to choose from (ooh, scrollbars), I see no reason to use mrxvt over rxvt. [00:38] So there. [00:38] Zungo: dpkg --configure -a [00:38] * wormmd ducks [00:38] gbear14275: it has a unity-2d, you also have other less demand options like xubuntu(xfce) or lubuntu(lxde) [00:38] Zungo: sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:39] #leave [00:39] idiot, this channel is logged > http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/05/ [00:40] !pm | sb [00:40] sb: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[00:43] j0hnsm1th: if you type `which java` in a terminal it should give you a clue [00:43] tyler_d : I am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS, some time ago, my original 11.04 ubuntu had started crashing whenever I launch kdevelop4.2 , then the problem started coming on the launch of octave as well. 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] idk, [00:44] Jordan_U, aaah thats the one! tx [00:44] well, precise ppas [00:44] j0hnsm1th: You're welcome.

I know you thought I had ESP... but... alas... this is likely why dpkg is broken. [00:45] 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] /†\ logan_ /†\ thanks [00:45] 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] wormmd: j0hnsm1th Or you can do readlink-e $(which $PROG) [00:45] wormmd, i know java is working with oracle by 'java -version' [00:46] L3top: specifically wdm and xdm are breaking it..

[00:47] 'java -version' gives me the oracle jdk which is what i want [00:48] now just for javac .. [00:48] 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.

[00:48] 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] approved ubuntu ones... otherwise things have a tendency to break... like this. [00:49] 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? [00:50] 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 [00:51] tyler_d: currently I am using the recommended driver installed from "additional hardware" app [00:51] sb: that is correct, the nvdia drivers (from the site) are very intrusive and very difficult to get rid of [00:51] L3top: ok, im going to tweak that [00:52] tyler_d: I also tried to run memtest86 on the login screen, but it gave an error, small or lower memory.

[00:58] 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] tyler_d: lots [00:58] sb: let me keep looking for a moment though [00:58] !paste [00:58] 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] ActionParsnip: whats going on? [00:59] !pastebinit [00:59] 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] tyler_d: just agreeing with the memtest idea [00:59] tyler_d: But when I tried a memtest86 option on grub, it just gives an error "small or lower memory" [00:59] hey [00:59] what's the apt-get subcommand forlisting repos??? [01:00] 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] ... [01:00] tyler_d: let me try that now [01:00] ActionParsnip: thank-you for the feedback, could a seg fault of that type be thrown by vid card memory as well? [01:00] Zungo: you don't really list repos, you can see what packages come from what repos [01:00] ActionParsnip: ok, how? [01:00] tyler_d: not sure tbh [01:01] Zungo: apt-cache search something [01:01] ActionParsnip: and if i want to list it all? [01:01] Zungo: or if you know the packagename: apt-cache policy packagename [01:01] ActionParsnip: I think I will guide toward checking memory though based on his input. [01:01] all in one shot.... [01:01] tyler_d: this is the output of 'free -m' http://paste.ubuntu.com/980893/ [01:01] it amazez me that their is still smart ppl online lol [01:02] Zungo: so you want EVERY available package listed? [01:02] yes [01:02] aft: *It *amazes *there *are [01:02] Zungo: apt-cache search . [01:02] for someone to debug some dpkg break [01:03] Zungo: the period is intentional, should give around 38,500 packages [01:03] tyler_d: I have 16 gigs of ram on my computer, I guess free -m report is all good. [01:03] sb: so you should have enough to run a memory test, do you still have your installation disk? [01:03] sb: I do see that, I can only assume you are running 64 [01:03] tyler_d: yes I am running 64, and I have installtion disk, [01:04] there it goes [01:04] sb: can you please install hwinfo.. ie from terminal do `sudo apt-get install hwinfo` [01:04] Zungo: fairly useless, unless you grep etc [01:04] ActionParsnip: thanks, period is needed, gives nothing otherwise [01:04] ActionParsnip: nevermind, [01:04] which ubuntu is the best? [01:04] it's because [01:04] rifk: in what way? [01:04] rifk: depends on requirements and taste [01:05] rifk: the one that allows you to do what you need [01:05] i want to code python [01:05] and do basic web browsing [01:05] rifk: they are both equal for that [01:05] and basic tasks [01:05] xdm and wdm are breaking dpkg.... and idk about repos i have... preciseppa? [01:05] rifk: anything, really. [01:05] rifk: I'm a minimalist, so I use lubuntu. [01:05] apt-get is part of unbtun isnt it [01:05] ? [01:05] rifk: it's a part of Debian. [01:05] rifk: yes [01:05] tyler_d: sure, in a min [01:06] 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] rifk: *buntu is debian based [01:06] ActionParsnip, readlink -e $(which javac) [01:06] /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javac [01:06] rifk: yes apt-get is one of the default installed apps [01:06] ActionParsnip, thanks! [01:06] rifk: and, lubuntu for the LXDE variant [01:06] rifk: xubuntu is Xfce [01:07] Zungo: thanks, I forgot to clarify that. [01:07] i guess this will do for now [01:07] is python pre-isntalled [01:07] at most these distros [01:07] ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso [01:07] rifk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:07] rifk: yes its used for lots of apps [01:07] rifk: that's ubuntu base with unity [01:07] rifk: you will probably want to get the "build-essentials" but I do believe python is there by default yes [01:07] build-essentials? [01:08] tyler_d: running hwinfo now, are there any specific command line flags ? [01:08] can anyone please help me with my ubuntu problem? [01:08] sb: yes, do hwinfo --memory [01:08] couls someone please help me with coping over a driver to a htpc system thats running ubuntu [01:09] build-essentials? [01:09] L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/980902 [01:09] rifk: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/build-essential [01:09] i was using an older ubuntu but i cant get the driver to right location on this new build its xbmc 11.0 but no one is in the channle [01:09] rifk: it's a metapackage for building/programing tools/compiling [01:10] tyler_d: here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/980903/ [01:10] L3top: are you there? [01:10] ZaNeIuM: xbmc isn't supported here [01:10] ActionParsnip: may help me? [01:10] ActionParsnip: we have xbmc in the repositories in 12.04 [01:11] 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] doktah: probably [01:11] !info xbmc [01:11] xbmc (source: xbmc): XBMC Media Center (arch-independent data package). In component universe, is optional. Version 2:11.0~git20120423.cd20772-1 (precise), package size 24793 kB, installed size 36907 kB [01:11] dpkg is broken: it complains about errors in wdm and xdm [01:11] !ask | doktah [01:11] doktah: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:11] Zungo L3top is reading that paste for the next 2 hours [01:11] sb: I will take a look at that now [01:11] ook [01:11] trism: really, crazy [01:11] im unsure if he's reading it [01:11] nice [01:11] OerHeks: ^^ [01:12] ZaNeIuM: cool, xbmc is supported here in Precise :) [01:12] !info xbmc oneiric [01:12] Package xbmc does not exist in oneiric [01:12] lol.... [01:12] Zungo: I have a sick infant... sorry. afk' [01:12] Whatsup I am already recovering from my format and I have to say Deja dupe or w/e made it very easy! However I have experience 3 errors already since rebooting [01:12] sb: it certainly does not like that ram; after the last one, restart and use the installation disk to attempt to perform a memory test please. [01:12] Zungo: try: sudo apt-get -f install [01:12] aah! [01:12] hey can someone remind me how i would go about adding "root" the audio group? [01:12] ok [01:13] ActionParsnip its kinda of a gengeral question on the driver location [01:13] ZaNeIuM: how do you mean location? [01:13] 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] before i just coped over the driver folder to the home directory it then it just woirked [01:13] ActionParsnip: errors when trying to configure xdm and wdm [01:13] i think that may be a reason why i am not getting any audio from vlc...? [01:14] in this version nothing happens [01:14] gh0strider: the default is normally usermod +G.. though I would certainly suggest doing a man usermod [01:14] 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] gh0strider: root doesn't need to be in any groups, it has absolute system access [01:14] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/980902 apt-cache search . [01:14] i apt-get installed qemu but when i type qemu i get command not found [01:14] ZaNeIuM: what driver are you copying exactly? [01:14] cmartin0: what is the purpose in using qemu? [01:15] Is there a way to get the top bar to show Application, System, etc in Ubuntu 12.04? [01:15] gh0strider: why are you messing with root anyway? [01:15] tylder_d: ya i remember that now...do you think "useradd -G audio root" would work? [01:16] tyler_d: I created an image with qemu-img. I want to run it [01:16] gh0strider: dude, sound never worked as root.... [01:16] tyler_d: I will try that, otherwise i will be back here, see you later, and thanks [01:16] whats the diff between adduser and createuser? [01:16] gh0strider: unless you manually run pulseaudio --system [01:16] sb: yvw, best of luck [01:16] Floyd42: to emulate a cpu of some sort? [01:16] gh0strider: that command will break your OS [01:16] Zungo ubuntu uses lightdm [01:16] IT WILL NOT, [01:16] cmartin0: ok? thats a pretty low level app, any reason you didn't use a simpler app like vbox? [01:16] OerHeks: yeah, i use gdm [01:16] whats the diff between adduser and createuser? [01:16] tyler_d: I dont need the bs [01:16] celthunder: No, I was wondering if it's possible to get the Applications & System navigation buttons like pre-Unity in 12.04? [01:16] ActionParsnip: its the driver for the xbox360 wireless pc adapter [01:16] gh0strider: you should really listen to ActionParsnip as well !! [01:16] gh0strider: you want: useradd -a -G audio root to add the user to the supplementary group [01:16] !nounity | Floyd42 [01:16] 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] ZaNeIuM: is it a USB stick? [01:16] cmartin0: fair enough (- the language please) [01:17] gh0strider: root doesn't gain anything by being in groups, as it can access anything at any time [01:17] xangua ubottu: Thanks! [01:17] Floyd42: oops sorry eant to type a diff nick [01:17] gh0strider: why are you messing with root anyway? [01:17] AcionParsnip: thanks for the tip.. [01:17] the hardware is usb, and i have coped over the folder from usb stick to the hdd [01:17] Im looking to have a VPS hosting, and I cant decide whats better ubuntu or fedora [01:17] ? [01:17] celthunder: ah, no worries [01:17] cmartin0: does which qemu tell you anything productive? [01:17] anyone have an issue where new mails are not triggering the message indicator to turn blue? [01:17] gh0strider: please type the command i had said adove, should make sound work [01:17] whats more stable, faster and robust? [01:17] SeanLeBeck: use fedora, [01:17] thanks! [01:17] ZaNeIuM: if you run: lsusb you can see the USB ID, and find guides using that ID [01:17] Zungo: thanks let me try that as well [01:18] Gaaaaah!! Nautilus isn't auto-recognizing my files anymore without an extension! Help! [01:18] gh0strider: yeah, check with Sound in system settings [01:18] SeanLeBeck: From my experience, Ubuntu is more stable. Fedora .. something or the other would stop working suddenly. [01:18] oh hey, it does actually boot, but with no network. ifup eth0 says it cant find the eth0 device [01:18] tyler_d: no. whereis gives directories. [01:18] gh0strider: because pulseaudio is configured per-user, as root it works by putting --system [01:19] imMute: then run: sudo lshw -C network then websearch for the product line [01:19] cmartin0: which qemu ? [01:19] 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] SeanLeBeck: for me, ubuntu is far more broken here.... [01:19] !ot | Floyd42 SeanLeBeck Zungo [01:19] Floyd42 SeanLeBeck Zungo: #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! [01:19] or use: #fedora [01:20] ActionParsnip: when VirtualBox has it set for NAT (rather than bridged) it works just fine. [01:20] Floyd42: and use xscreensaver [01:20] 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] Floyd42: remove gnome-screensaver, never works [01:20] imMute: have you asked in #vbox ? [01:20] tyler_d: which retuns nothing [01:20] ActionParsnip: when i did useradd -a -G audio root it complained about "-a" saying it was not an option... [01:20] Zungo: you mean for the screen locking thing? yeah, i agree x-sc is better. But even Ctrl+L wasn't working .. [01:21] yes [01:21] i am trying to get sound to work with vlc... [01:21] cmartin0: then it unfortunately is not pathed properly, or alternately not installed === hybrid is now known as o0o0o [01:21] for some reason sound works for everything except vlc [01:21] Floyd42: ugh, ignore all that stuff, and use xscreensaver/xlock [01:21] 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] works for kmplayer dragon player kaffeine my web browser everything except vlc [01:21] Floyd42: in xfce xlock is there by default unless xscreensaver runs [01:21] Floyd42: ctrl+alr [01:21] alt*+del enables it [01:22] cmartin0: attempt to do `sudo updatedb` then `locate qemu` [01:22] ;_; [01:22] zungo: thanks, ctrl+ what's alr? [01:22] Floyd42: ctrl+alt+del* [01:22] 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] right alt button? [01:22] sorry, typo [01:23] bibic682: sorry do you have something we can help with? [01:23] Well I'm out then ;_; [01:23] zungo: ctrl+alt+del .. doesn't that bring up the window to restart /shutdown the system? [01:23] imMute: may be a config issue between vbox and ubuntu too.... [01:23] is precise going to have php 5.4? or sticking with 5.3? [01:23] Floyd42: nope, not in my fedora, not in xfce [01:23] boa noite. [01:23] !apt php [01:23] !info php5 [01:23] would usermod work instead of "useradd" for root?

Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 21 kB [01:23] yes....wireless internet connection dropped in half after upgrade to 12.04 [01:24] 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] gh0strider: idk ye [01:24] Floyd42: yup, xscreensaver works better [01:24] but [01:24] im talking about fedora.... [01:24] Floyd42: you should try this xlock on xfce on fedora [01:24] bibic682: define how you have determined this? what utilities or tools have you used? [01:25] Zungo: have you ever had any issues with getting sound out of VLC? [01:25] zungo: coolio, will give it a shot [01:25] or xedora! xD [01:25] being spin-geeky [01:25] :D [01:25] haha. xedora sounds cool [01:25] bibic682: as longas you had the packages downloaded it's ok ;) [01:25] kdeora hehe [01:25] for kde spin [01:25] Zungo: can we stick to the topic¿ [01:25] Sure! just messing around lol [01:25] bibic682: are you talking range? or speed?

[01:27] gh0strider: :) [01:27] 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] zungo: yeah, it's not comparable functionality-wise to gnome or kde .. [01:27] gh0strider: do this: run pulseaudio --system on console: then restart vlc [01:27] 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? [01:28] gh0strider: do other apps work with sound? [01:28] any way that I can route all the traffic in the operating system through that proxy?

[01:31] ActionParsnip: everything else works with sound except vlc, such as dragon player, kmplayer, my web browswer when i play youtube videos [01:31] umm, might be your graphic card/monitor screen [01:31] Zungo: yes i am using a rooted session [01:32] gh0strider: why are you running the GUI as root? [01:32] gh0strider: sure system sound works? [01:32] gh0strider: open vlc from the terminal. try playing a video. see what the error message is and report. [01:32] ActionParsnip: i understand the risks [01:32] my mother board is a g45 [01:32] ActionParsnip: i do undestrand the same risks too [01:32] ActionParsnip: now I'm really wtfing - 'sudo ifup eth1' did as expected (even saw the DHCP in wireshark) but eth0 still hangs.. [01:32] gh0strider: i doubt it, heavilly [01:32] Flyod42: tried that...it plays the video in the terminal but no sound [01:33] Floyd42: I can't find anything on that matter, do you have any nearby? [01:33] ActionParsnip: i really do [01:33] anything*/ [01:33] droope: hold on, will give you a link [01:33] 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] gh0strider: stop it and use another player [01:33] gh0strider: what is the error message in the terminal regarding no sound? [01:33] or, go advanced settings in vlc [01:33] and see [01:34] wireless nic...11.10 100% signal...8 meg download....upgrade to 12.04...58% signal...3.5 meg download... What gives ?

[01:35] droope: just use those instructions, but use your own proxy. alternatively, check out tails livecd. [01:35] 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] 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] droope: cool, no prob! [01:35] Floyd42: I don't know what the proxy is though, firefox autodetects it, but I have no idea [01:35] use kdm or other DM for this... gdm doesn't allow root login [01:36] for some reason maybe vlc is not recognizing my sound device? [01:36] ello lol [01:36] 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] Zungo: just don't use root and you'll be fine [01:36] gh0strider: yep, might be, go advanced vlc settings please [01:36] droope: check tools-preferences-network and it'll show the proxy details (http / socks etc) [01:36] gh0strider: check the sound setting in VLC.... [01:36] ActionParsnip: Sure! [01:36] arvind: don't ever do something like that - I manually changed the entries in sources.list [01:36] Floyd42: thanks man! [01:36] :P didn't see that [01:37] gh0strider: how did you made rooted login have sound? [01:37] I have tried all of the availabe sound settings in vlc advanced settings such as ALFA, DEFAULT, UNIX OSS etc etc nothing works... === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:37] xangua, ok, but what do I do now? [01:37] arvind: if you've made a backup, do a fresh install. [01:37] gh0strider: do you wonder why....... [01:37] arvind: i would recoment back up your data and make a clean install [01:37] droope: coolio [01:37] gh0strider: STOP USING ROOT, USE ANOTHER PLAYER, F********* OFF [01:37] FloodBot1, xangua is there no way out of this? [01:38] Zungo: stop that please [01:38] Zungo: not constructive [01:38] 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] arvind: let's go to the time machine ;) [01:38] Nevermind! just [01:38] Zungo: you okay? [01:38] gh0strider: try it, use pulseaudi [01:38] 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] should work [01:38] Zungo: you seem very emotional, if you dont know the answer its okay [01:38] if not then idk! [01:39] gh0strider: try: rm -r ~/.config/vlc then rerun the app, or just use another player..... [01:39] gh0strider: also, please tell me what you did to have sound in rooted session? [01:39] xangua, thanks :) Floyd42 [01:39] arvind: no worries :) [01:40] gh0strider... please? [01:40] 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] Floyd42: the name is enough, the colon is optional [01:40] Floyd42: #xchat [01:40] Floyd42: most clients add the colon [01:40] Floyd42: try tab, that should auto-complete and let you know what is required [01:40] AuctionParsnip: i will try removing the vlc config file [01:41] this is my sound card output from "lspci" [01:41] 02:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 02) [01:41] actionparsnip tylder_d1 zungo thanks guys [01:41] so should i even be using pulseaudio? [01:41] did that work? [01:41] Floyd42: no [01:41] gh0strider: is it ok as your normal user, how you are supposed to use the OS? [01:41] gh0strider: hmm, yes, but in USER gui [01:42] ? [01:42] somebody use Ubunutu in macbook pro with dual boot? [01:42] tyler_d1: hmm ok. looks like i have to add the colon everytime then. [01:43] !mac [01:43] Floyd42: does so :) [01:43] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [01:43] 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] wow, installed lightdm and problem with dpkg disappeared!! i wonder why.... [01:43] gh0strider: uhhh, USE NORMAL USER VLC!!!!!!!!! [01:44] !anyone | ecanto [01:44] 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] gh0strider: chmod 0777 to that file also [01:44] and move it to / or somewere else [01:44] hmm maybe the regular user doesnt have a config file? [01:44] gh0strider: could use su to run VLC as your user. [01:45] gh0strider: copy it from ~ [01:45] Zungo: ~ is /root for root [01:45] yeah [01:45] ActionParsnip: why i have precise ppas? [01:45] hmmm now the audio device showed up under the menu... [01:45] Zungo: are you using precise? [01:45] yep... [01:46] i haven't copied over the config file yet... [01:46] Zungo: then that's why.... [01:46] upgraded from oneric [01:46] ... [01:46] ActionParsnip: upgrade was a kinda mess, [01:46] should i remove precise ppas? [01:47] Zungo: yeah, I always clean install personally [01:47] cuz now i have officail repo [01:47] ok [01:47] Zungo: no, you are using precise so the PPAs are ok [01:47] Zungo: you can remove them if you wish [01:47] * Zungo goes to remove precise ppas, he already got official repos [01:47] yes [01:48] i have it all} [01:48] the ppas were needed for the upgrade i guess [01:48] can be? [01:48] ActionParsnip [01:48] Zungo: no, you added them [01:48] i didn't [01:48] how do i launch a seperate terminal window from withing a terminal window AND have it run a command automatically [01:48] Zungo: not from Oneiric to Precise, no. You will use the default repos [01:48] ? [01:48] 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] cvprog: man gnome-terminal [01:48] Zungo: well i doub a third party repo just appear one day by itself [01:49] ActionParsnip: xangua: it added when i do 'do-release-upgrade' [01:49] ActionParsnip: i use urxvt, so i guess ill try man urxvt [01:49] the ppas came when i launched the upgrade [01:49] help my. please talk russian irc chat Ubuntu [01:50] hi , using terminator , good terminal emulator , better than gnome-terminal [01:50] !ru | evgeniy [01:50] evgeniy: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [01:50] ActionParsnip, hey do you have the set of commands you have posted for the /etc/sysctl.conf file, this speeds up the computer and other colo things. [01:50] *cool [01:50] hey guys, is there a way to watch what processes are being run, constantly, without using top? [01:50] htop [01:50] so, it's safe to remove precise ppas? [01:51] nach0z: yep. using a conky script. [01:51] Floyd42: server though, not desktop [01:51] a server connect ??? [01:51] aint got a screen [01:51] Nach0z: go install screen [01:51] nach0z: doesn't matter. you can still use conky. [01:51] Nach0z: sorry, you mean't Screen/display? [01:52] brb maybe a reboot might help... [01:52] wilee-nilee: I can pastebin the ones I use [01:52] Zungo: yeah, I meant a display [01:52] lol [01:52] Zungo: there are no precise PPAs [01:52] err, guys, then, it's safe to remove precise ppas? [01:52] wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/980934/ [01:52] Floyd42: alright, found conky-cli, but I'm in the middle of installing a LOT of other stuff so that's not feasible. [01:52] Ubuntus repositories exist by default Zungo. [01:52] ActionParsnip, cool I have used it before but forgot to save it, thanks a lot. :) [01:52] L3top: yes there are: i got them when did 'do-release-upgrade' [01:52] Zungo: sure, you can remove any PPAs you want [01:53] The repositories you have added, are added. Zungo. [01:53] No... no you did not. [01:53] wilee-nilee: after editting, run: sudo sysctl -p or reboot [01:53] nach0z: then do it when it's feasible. duh. [01:53] !ppa| Zungo [01:53] Zungo: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [01:53] nach0z: why can't you run top from a terminal? [01:53] ActionParsnip, yeah that makes sense. [01:53] 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] L3top: oh, i didn't also added that manually: it came automatically when ran release upgrade [01:53] read the factoid [01:53] 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] that is not possible sir. [01:54] it's [01:54] and I believe it's running very intermittently [01:54] so ps aux is not an option [01:54] launchpad url for precise ppa! Spotted in apt-get update [01:54] nach0z: "gnome-system-monitor" then [01:54] and on early upgrade [01:54] before upgrade [01:54] nach0z: assuming you're running gnome DE [01:54] Floyd42: no, there's no desktop environment [01:54] Floyd42: Nach0z's on server [01:55] I'm doing a release upgrade and I'm getting spammed by "xset: unable to open display """ [01:55] 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] i can't believe how dificult it is to set up a global proxy [01:55] L3top: I INSIST, THEY WERE ADDED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN I DID 'DO-RELEASE-UPGRADE'!!!! I JUST UPGRADED FROM 11.10 [01:56] Nach0z: what's the value of DISPLAY? [01:56] nach0z: use this command. ps -auxx | grep 'python' [01:56] Zungo, lose the caps [01:56] jrib: Nach0z's on server!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF [01:56] nach0z: that will show you all the processes that are based on or related to python that are running [01:56] Zungo: Then, sir, you have forgotten adding them. It simply does not, can not, and will not work that way. [01:56] nach0z: just substitute 'python' with the process you're trying to find. [01:56] L3top: wtf [01:56] Zungo, there is no way possible the PPA were added by themselves. no need for the caps/excessive punctuation [01:57] and two nice w8upload ppas i got... [01:57] Zungo: I am not arguing, there is no point in it. It simply is not possible. === wyggler2_ is now known as wyggler2 [01:57] 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] really, they were automatically added, i saw it, had opened software sources when it warned about third-party repos disabled.. saw there precise ppas [01:58] 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] 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] IT'S possible! [01:58] theres more than just "syslinux" but it flashes too fast [01:58] Nach0z: you can make top update faaster [01:58] any ideas what causes this? [01:58] ActionParsnip, thanks a lot, you rule, ;) [01:59] Zungo: howzat [01:59] ActionParsnip: thanks for the tips as well! [01:59] Nach0z: 'man top' [01:59] and [01:59] 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] 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] don262: np [01:59] Nach0z: also, top: tap H [02:00] Nach0z: go ##linux [02:00] anybody have any ideas? [02:00] alright. [02:00] why are people sending Nach0z away from this channel... [02:00] Nach0z: did you see my question? [02:00] Brandon: what exactly is the problem? it just flashes syslinux? so? [02:00] Brandon: what video chip do you use? [02:00] 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 ? [02:01] it flashes "syslinux" and some other stuff, in one line [02:01] then goes to black screen with blinking white cursor [02:01] not sure, actionparsnip, just picked this netbook up a couple days ago [02:01] jrib: the value of "DISPLAY" ? [02:01] dtb: what video chip do you use? [02:01] Nach0z: sure [02:01] i installed ubuntu on it fine the other day, then installed Joli OS [02:01] is there a way to gunzip -d something to a seperate file as in xxx.tgz to xxx1.tar ? [02:01] Brandon: whay make and model? [02:01] now its not booting any live USBs [02:01] jrib: it's empty. [02:01] acer aspire one [02:01] 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] Nach0z: if you start a fresh new session in putty, do you still have the issue? [02:02] Acer ASpire One D257-1417 [02:02] ive used unetbootin and linuxlive usb creator both [02:02] persona: could edit /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop [02:02] 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] ActionParsnip, it's an XPS m1730 - just googled the specs and the chip is: NVIDIA SLI Dual GeForce 8700M GT [02:03] Nach0z: and outside of the update for screen? Do you have this xset being printed? [02:03] dtb: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [02:04] Brandon: seems to be some Intel thing, so try the boot option: nomodeset [02:04] hmm [02:04] how do i do that [02:04] 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? [02:05] i thought nomodset was in bios, dont see it in there [02:05] i saw that suggestion when i was googling [02:05] ActionParsnip: seems to be the ubuntu-software one in that folder editting now ty [02:05] !nomodeset | Brandon [02:06] Brandon: 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 [02:06] !bootoptions | Brandon [02:06] Brandon: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [02:06] Nach0z: what ubuntu version is this (upgrade from what to what)? [02:06] persona: change the exec line and add gksudo, you will then be prompted for your password [02:07] hmm [02:07] ActionParsnip, i dont even get to the boot splashscreen [02:07] tyler_d1: I think things changed around on 12.04. [02:07] Brandon: hopefully the boot option will sort it [02:08] jrib: upgrading from 11.10 [02:08] Nach0z: apt-cache policy update-manager, what version are you at? [02:08] sigh [02:08] oh well [02:08] ActionParsnip: seems to be the ubuntu-software one in that folder editting now and yep it worked thanks [02:09] jrib: 1:0.152.25.9 [02:09] ActionParsnip, champion! that " nouveau.blacklist=1 " worked :) [02:09] 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] dtb: some chips don't don't like the nouveau driver [02:09] Nach0z: you're being bitten by bug #883618 [02:09] 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] jrib: any fixes? :| [02:10] persona: yeah its a weird one [02:10] Nach0z: yeah (in the precise version of the package :P) [02:11] dtb: you'll need it in the installed OS, you can then install the proprietary driver later and be ok [02:11] jrib: good job on that fix for Nach0z!! [02:11] ActionParsnip, thanks! === don262 is now known as Dawn262 [02:12] I learn something every time I idle on the boyfriends computer [02:12] you guys are awesome!! [02:13] hi all [02:13] if I have a stuck upstart job — not running, but upstart thinks it is [02:13] dawn262 Hey Dawn, wazzup [02:13] how do I clear that state? [02:13] 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 [02:14] Nach0z: that's probably fine [02:14] Floyd42 nada [02:14] dawn262: gee, don't know what happened there [02:15] hey guys, my root partition is reported as 100% while du -hcs says that only 7.4 gb out of 12gb is taken. pangolin. what am i doin wrong here? [02:15] jrib: it appears to be a fairly good fx. lol. [02:15] Nach0z: you have xdg-utils installed for some reason (the loop only executes if it finds xdg-screensaver in /usr/bin)? [02:15] this makes little sense to me /dev/sda1 12G 9.1G 20M 100% / [02:16] 12 there, 9 taken, 20m free? [02:16] ggolin: some space is reserved for root [02:16] jrib, 5% usually, no? [02:16] ggolin: how many inodes are being used? [02:16] ggolin: check with tune2fs [02:17] sec [02:17] jrib: yes, xdg-screensaver is there [02:17] not sure why it's running the loop in the first place, but it's not doing it anymore [02:17] Nach0z: in any case, the bug is known and fixed in new versions [02:17] how do i get a program when the screensaver activates? [02:18] err... [02:18] how do i get a program to run when the screensaver activates? [02:18] jrib: in "new" versions? what newer versions of what exactly? [02:18] 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] Nach0z: update-manager [02:18] hi ppl burg messed up my grub and now the grub menu wont show up can you guys plz help me get my grub back [02:18] I'm on the newest version of update-manager. :| [02:18] also, yeah, this used to be a desktop but I converted it. [02:18] Nach0z: no, there's a newer version in precise... (see the bug report) [02:19] oh. huh. weird. it's not listed as a candidate on my system [02:19] Nach0z: well aren't you in oneric still? [02:19] and vlc is working!!! [02:19] plus, I upgraded everything before I started the release-upgrade... [02:19] oneiric [02:19] heh /dev/sda1 0 0 0 - / [02:19] jrib: if that's what 11.10 is called, sure [02:19] df -i [02:19] ok now my other question ait graphics how do i not draw the unity bar on my second monitor [02:19] ati* [02:19] Nach0z: right, so the precise version wouldn't be available to you [02:19] alrighty then. [02:20] finally man!! i have been trying to get vlc to play sound for a full day now and i finally got it working!! [02:20] what the heck does 'uncompression error' mean when trying to boot from live usb [02:20] what i ended up doing was deleting the vlc dir -> /home/user/.config/vlc and then restarted vlc and it created new config files and it started playing the sound finally!! [02:22] im running ubuntu12.04 and i just finished unpacking the latest android-sdk for linux, i realize i could just stick it in home directory, but where/why is a good place to put this kind of stuff? [02:22] Brandon: The image is stored compressed on the USB stick and is uncompressed as it's read and loaded. It must be corrupted. [02:22] sigh [02:22] brandon: try doing a memtest with a livecd. it could be a problem with the RAM. [02:22] True [02:22] wtf... [02:22] why would df -i report all zeroes for / [02:23] partition type is btrfs [02:23] j0hnsm1th: I use /usr/local/ if it has a "unixy" structure and /opt if it does not, for things that are meant to be installed system-wide [02:24] 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] jrib beat me to most of it. [02:24] jrib, example of something with "unixy" strucuture? [02:25] jrib: Got a similar one for you: a few times so far, I've been spammed by several hundred repetitions of GdkPixBufWarning complaining about a loaders.cache not existing [02:25] !fhs | j0hnsm1th [02:25] j0hnsm1th: 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 [02:25] ggolin: presumably, because btrfs doesn't have an traditional inode limit [02:25] tx! [02:25] a* [02:25] * ggolin sighs === L3top is now known as golgojxbmc [02:25] Nach0z: on a desktop machine? [02:25] sigh [02:25] * ggolin planned to do some work === golgojxbmc is now known as L3top [02:26] 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] 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] st3el_, are they both connected to the internet via the router? [02:26] ggolin, yes [02:27] st3el_, a simple solution is to rightclick a directory and go with sharing [02:27] st3el_, a not so simple solution is to figure out nfs [02:27] jrib: same machine as before. desktop turned server. [02:27] st3el_, i suggest you start with the former and research the latter when you have time. [02:27] no X server running. [02:27] Nach0z: oh, during the update? [02:27] jrib: yup [02:28] st3el_, you also may luck out and find the other machine in the network view of the filemanager [02:28] Nach0z: there's some discussion at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625203 [02:28] Debian bug 625203 in libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 "'/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory" [Normal,Open] [02:28] ggolin, yea I'm not that lucky :D [02:28] 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] ggolin, but thank you [02:29] ggolin, hmm openssh-server huh [02:29] st3el_, yes this will work. 'connect to server', not 'go to server', sorry. [02:30] st3el_, you're welcome [02:30] ggolin, very helpful stuff, again thank you sir. [02:30] * ggolin reads the manpage for btrfs and realizes he will have to reinstall using ext4 [02:30] man i was working for a full day to get vlc working with sound and i finally got it working!! i am really happy because vlc is my favorite video player by far! [02:31] ggolin: a possible reason for df showing more used space than du shows is things like unlinked files that are still open by a process but it isn't really all that common [02:31] hello everyone [02:31] nvm i got it l8rs [02:32] quiescens, thats an interesting idea, i just killed novacom - maybe it was doing icky stuff. [02:32] * ggolin reboots [02:32] rather, it is very common, just that most of the time its small tmp files [02:32] hey ? What's tool can let me connect windows from ubuntu ?

[02:32] APoulos, just try it [02:33] how do i set different screensavers? [02:33] ggolin: no I need some opinions [02:33] @APoulos Wouldn't think so, though depends on what you're planning on putting the VM and the host through I suppose. [02:33] ggolin: sorry ? [02:33] APoulos, depends on what the vm will do [02:33] ggolin: define what ? [02:33] deeprogram, define 'connect' [02:33] what do you mean by connect? [02:33] Ghost_In_Zshell, ggolin - Windows XP - Running Rosetta Stone [02:33] share files? view the desktop? [02:33] APoulos, oh that will be fun. [02:34] apoulos: depends on what the minimum requirements are for the guest OS. [02:34] APoulos, just do it. the worst thing that could happen is that it will suck more than usual [02:34] @APoulos That's more than enough. [02:35] Ghost_In_Zshell, do you use zsh? [02:35] 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] APoulos, dont forget the os itself [02:35] .o(why not zoidberg?) [02:35] ggolin Ghost_In_Zshell Floyd42 I currently have on my actual host system 3GB of ram [02:35] I used rtcwake on my ubuntu server, and now it is not booting... [02:36] 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] APoulos, ram is not the only parameter here. how may cpus you've got, what kind of drives, etc. [02:36] It displays a flashing cursor, then the screen goes blank, no bootup info, nothing... [02:36] yjacket, is it a laptop? [02:36] Floyd42: worst case scenario - whats the worst that would happen? I dont really want to try and work out a dual boot - [02:37] no, it is a 7 year old desktop [02:37] @ggolin Actually use bash as my main shell out of habit, but zsh is really nice. [02:37] ggolin: no, 7 year old desktop [02:37] ggolin: I have 2 Processors, AMD, its a 32bit CQ60z-200 [02:37] apoulos: forget dual boot. if you have sufficient ram and hdd space, do a VM install. no reason to go dual boot. [02:37] yjacket, pull the power plug, try again [02:37] ggolin: I just need give ip address to file browser and then it give me files in windows [02:38] ggolin: now I also want to get the files from ubuntu [02:38] 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] Floyd42 ggolin Ghost_In_Zshell Rosetta stone isnt. its a windows program [02:38] you can run it under wine [02:38] ggolin: i've tried hard restarting, but I'll leave it unplugged for a few mins, and try again... [02:38] deeprogram, in ubuntu right click directory and choose sharing [02:38] @APoulos I'll have to second Floyd42—you won't need to dual boot. [02:38] cvprog: not taking my chances with the copy I have [02:38] yjacket, you could also reset the bios, see if that helps [02:39] 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] ok you people back to rails [02:39] Floyd42: no. Ubuntu 12.04 is my host [02:39] just try wine APoulos [02:39] try it [02:39] ggolin: you are right but it share ubuntu files not get the windows files that be shared from ubuntu [02:39] aint gonna kill ya [02:39] ggolin: I know what WINE is mate, the problem is the copy I have of the program is custom built. [02:40] apoulos: oh, i see. yes, then win xp guest on vm for rosetta stone is sensible. better than dual boot. [02:40] deeprogram, on windows share a directory and on ubuntu go to browse network [02:40] 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] APoulos, fine, fine, be conservative :) [02:41] 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] apoulos: good idea [02:43] 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] 123 [02:44] hey, quit pirating softwares! [02:44] Floyd42 Ghost_In_Zshell Boohbah its not pirated. Its custom built. the only thing that's stopped me thus far [02:44] is [02:44] Ubuntu cant make a winxp flash that works correctly [02:45] which saddenms [02:45] saddens me [02:45] 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] APoulos: ? [02:46] should i install grub to dev/sda (my hard drive) or dev/sda1 (my partition where ubuntu is installed) [02:46] 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] grub is already installed vexaxv maybe you need to configure it [02:46] ? [02:47] For some reason all the Multiboot USBs and along with WinUSB and Unetbootin havent made correct Win XP boots for my usbs [02:47] 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] 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] because i just installed and startup was kinda slow where its normally fast [02:48] PRabyte: what did you mention me for? [02:48] i felt like it [02:48] apoulos: unlikely. i've been using them for a long time. what kind of trouble are you anticipating? [02:49] winetricks [02:49] Floyd42: too much for the processors. Its a dual core, but the way the ventilation is set up sucks. [02:49] has come a long way since .9 [02:49] 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] 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." === Chell_ is now known as Chell [02:49] PRabyte: id rather not use WINE because Wine can actually still execute windows based malware [02:49] @vexaxv Depends on your boot setup, but generally /dev/sda [02:49] but your are making flash, not surfing the net [02:49] I google it ,but didn't find anything [02:50] world of goo and adobe cs5 work fine [02:50] 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] PRabyte: ? what? I dont follow you? [02:50] please tell me where to find " glib-compile-schemas " [02:50] vexaxv, i used /dev/sda but im not sure of the consequences of using /dev/sda1 [02:50] thanks! [02:50] i have 6144 mb in swap and the rest in sda1 (ubuntu) so i installed grub on dev/sda (hard drive) [02:50] what did you mean by winxp flash [02:50] maybe i miss understood, but if i did, ill stick with what i am saying [02:51] @vexaxv If those are your only positions, that should be fine. [02:51] 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] 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] k thanks man [02:52] Chapter 3 Digital COmic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCqwVYuPZu8 [02:52] 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] dev/sda is hd 1, dev/sdb, is hd 2, dev/sbX the rest [02:52] 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] so if you only have sda, yes install grub there, or actually grub will install it there for you [02:53] ohhhhhh [02:53] lol [02:53] j0hnsm1th: grub bootloader would replace windows bootloader [02:53] i thought you meant winxp flash files [02:53] not flash drive , gotcha [02:53] ggolin: It still won [02:53] hi [02:53] im new here [02:54] Hello davidvasquez [02:54] ggolin: It still won't boot, so I tried inserting an Ubuntu disk, and mounted the drive and am in the shell... [02:54] 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] 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] (i chose /dev/sda and everything worked) [02:54] hey i just installed skype here my cam looks realy dark im using xubuntu how can i fix it? [02:55] j0hnsm1th: just make sure you read the top line of that file [02:55] davidvasquez: turn on the light in your room :P [02:55] its still prety dark even in the brightest room [02:55] 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 [02:56] yeah [02:56] davidvasquez: i place a lamp behind me and it usually helps .. [02:56] like when i use skype on windows its good but here its dark [02:56] davidvasquez: try running cheese to see if it appears fine. if so, then try meddling with the skype prefs. [02:57] 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] can you install programs built for red hard and fedora on ubuntu 12.04? [02:57] ill get chese [02:57] Floyd42: so running a VM with use of 1 of my 3GB of RAM isnt going to do any harm? [02:57] st3el_: it may be possible, but not generally recommended [02:58] also do any of u guys know how to fix the chppy videos on youtube?? [02:58] st3el_: it's theoretically possible to convert rpm to deb. but not recommended. [02:58] @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] apoulos: like i said, use a hardware sensors monitoring tool running continuously to see if everything's under operating conditions .. [02:58] does anyone play king of fighters?? [02:59] yeah I'm not compiling just yet lol [02:59] apoulos: also wise to not run very memory and cpu intensive processes on the host while the guest is running. [02:59] but thanks [02:59] 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] josheee12: yep. change the screen resolution to the maximum possible. [03:00] Floyd42: shoot.. well - Im just hoping it wont fry my PC [03:00] why is it that both are linux based but they use different file extensions? [03:00] @st3el_ Because they're different distributions with different package managers, hence RPM and DEB-based distributions. [03:00] st3el_: rpms suck.. I hate installng them [03:01] st3el_, dont do it [03:01] 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] lol [03:01] thanks guys [03:01] 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] after executing "rtcwake -m disk -s 10" on my ubuntu 11.10 server, I can't get it to boot at all [03:02] yjacket, dude you broke it [03:02] I wanted to install teamviewer seems strange that they don't make one for ubuntu but... [03:02] I'll find another remote solution [03:02] st3el_: i'm pretty sure they do [03:02] any advice on that? [03:02] st3el_: ... dude, what are you talking about the have it for ubuntu [03:02] ggolin: whats broken? [03:02] st3el_: I just ran it the other day [03:02] st3el_: it was a .deb file [03:02] yjacket, the hell if i know but you computer wont boot now :( [03:02] st3el_, there is one, but i won't recommend using it tru their service [03:03] yeah I'll use the chrome add-on [03:03] it works pretty well no os issues [03:03] ggolin: I suppose I will just copy my config files that I changed, and my home directory and reinstall... [03:03] st3el_ OerHeks why not? whats wrong witht he OS one? [03:03] tyler_d: Hi, i am back, i ran a complete test, and the memory is all good [03:04] st3el_: OerHeks theres nothing wrong with running it via .deb package [03:04] APoulos, better use VNC tru SSH [03:04] OerHeks: oh thats true [03:04] I understand but I'm just looking for a quick fix [03:05] really was more interested in why :D [03:06] st3el_, what does that teamviewer do? [03:09] st3el_? [03:11] Floyd42: here's my computer's stats: http://pastebin.com/ufYUHrkQ [03:11] Floyd42: let me know what you think about the VM idea [03:11] Floyd42: based on my stats [03:11] 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.... [03:13] 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 [03:15] 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] tem. === JonEdney is now known as Jon|AFK [03:16] Floyd42: don't u think screenlet itself is too heavy? why not use something like a conky? :P [03:16] dunno if this is really the right place to ask or not, but im considering installing 12.04 to test out ubuntu tv.. how would you guys say it compares (if at all) to mythtv for being my PVR and tv playback setup? [03:18] irenicus09: it takes less than 20mb. my system has sufficient ram to manage that weight. [03:24] Kynetic: how do u install ubuntu tv? I'm quite curious and would it work on a regular tv? :P [03:25] i havent as yet installed it, im going to install 12.04 as a secondary OS on my media centre PC to test this out, im assuming it just comes with 12.04? [03:25] here anyone know about grub? [03:26] Is there any way to save the brightness settings for next log on? [03:27] It resets every time I restart my computer [03:27] I'm frankly saddened that this hasn't been addressed with version 12. [03:27] i need help restore grub [03:29] This room is uncharacteristically quiet.

[03:38] hi === r0tha_ is now known as r0tha [03:38] 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. [03:39] Floyd42: then I think I might just want to dual boot it instead of VM [03:39] How do I open a /etc/default to edit it? [03:39] Floyd42: my PC heats up quite a bit [03:39] I'm having a problem that when I restart ubuntu 12.04 I loose internet connection. I can regain it by going to setting/networking and turning it off and back on. This started happening after I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 [03:41] Floyd42, barring a hardware problem, a fully loaded cpu should not be a problem [03:41] apoulos: i think i've given you all the info you need to decide for yourself. [03:43] i found the gr8 boot-repair thanks a lot guys you are the best :) [03:44] random question for ya guys, if so many people migrated to mint because they hate unity why didnt they just add the gnome 3 teams ppa and install it, i just did, now im installing kde and figuring out which one is best for me [03:45] instead of going to a ubuntu derived o.s with gnome 3 when u can have ubuntu with gnome 3 [03:45] i dont understand [03:46] vexaxv: Because Mint has some special customizations on their gnome 3. [03:47] vexaxv, ubuntu 12.04 comes with gnome3+unity [03:47] !nounity [03:47] 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?

[06:58] wilee-nilee, how? [06:59] 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 [07:00] s/ubunru/kubuntu [07:00] and thats supposed to install flash? [07:01] yepp it will [07:01] but will it work.. [07:01] 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] cause ive installed the same in muon [07:01] I'm on Kubuntu [07:02] is Slitaz an Ubuntu based distro? [07:03] vexaxv, flash in a browser right [07:03] Marzata, no [07:03] a Debian based? [07:03] thanks it works [07:03] wilee-nilee, ty it works and yes [07:03] Marzata, did you have any actual ubuntu support questions? [07:04] bazhang: not at the moment, sorry. [07:04] Marzata, ask those questions in the correct channel: either #ubuntu-offtopic or search using alis [07:05] !alis | Marzata [07:05] Marzata: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [07:05] bazhang: thank you [07:08] hai there! I'm running through an odd proxy config and want to make sure this is working, can somebody please confirm that they can see this text? :) [07:09] How do I stream VLC from ubuntu or make it a VLC server? [07:10] hey guys "if it's possible" can you lead me in the direction of installing a vitual box in my ubuntu to run my win 7 part from?, i hope i dont have to install win again within a virtual box. [07:10] nothing... not a thing? [07:10] partition* [07:12] 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] reason: most likely it wont work [07:13] read-only? [07:13] alusion: could use samba, its a bit easier [07:14] damn that sucks in my mind i was thinking it was easy to use my current partition :\. okay then if i give the first option a go what are the odds i'll F my system [07:14] alusion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-set-vlc-player-as-media-server-to-stream-media-files-in-digital-home/ [07:15] Hi, I was wondering whether someone could help me with a problem I have. New install of 12.04, but when I try to start the system unity fails to start. If I try and perform unity --restart the system locks up. [07:15] AntiSol: i see you [07:15] Fred219: tried unity2D session? === md_5 is now known as md_5|away [07:15] same result [07:17] sorry back [07:17] 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] thanks parsnip [07:17] Gimp. Looking to find its folder. Supposed to be .gimp-2.6. I am showing hidden files. [07:17] well i'll have a fiddle i'm hoping i can get the current win7 part working in the vm well see [07:18] thx guys [07:19] is it safe to remove software-center? [x/l/whatever]ubuntu-desktop depends on it.. [07:20] m123: why you wanna do such thing? [07:20] Hi, I was wondering whether someone could help me with a problem I have. New install of 12.04, but when I try to start the system unity fails to start. If I try and perform unity --restart the system locks up. [07:20] nastas: usually "processing triggers for software-center" slows down installation of packages and I do not plan on ever using software center. [07:20] FishFace: have you ran gimp once allready? [07:21] dr_willis, Its running now [07:22] FishFace: try a ls -ar | grep gimp perhaps. it may be insome subdir === gabriele is now known as Guest26900 [07:22] All righty [07:23] fishface@fishface-A740GM-M:~$ ls -ar | grep gimp [07:23] .gimp-2.6 [07:23] Not much to go on ;) [07:24] FishFace: try renaming the folder [07:25] its in your home dir it seems [07:25] I think the bigger problem is that I don't see any .folders at all [07:25] m123: did you try to google it? [07:25] use the terminal and see if itsthere [07:25] cd .gimp-2.6 [07:25] Got it! [07:26] right where its supposed to be.. ;) [07:26] 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] LOL. Yeah. Last time I used it it was in usr/local/ bin or something. All good. [07:27] FishFace: user config files are in their home dir... [07:27] the actual gimp binaries and stuff are elsewhere [07:27] Ahhhh [07:27] linux fundamentals [07:27] Ok. This will come in handy because I have to do some .pidgin stuff also. Thanks again. [07:28] m123: are there any packages depending on ubuntu-desktop?"apt-cache rdepends ubuntu-desktop" [07:30] sup guys [07:31] sup guys [07:31] everyone is sleeping [07:31] ? [07:31] linuxuz3r: general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic pls, this is support only [07:31] not everyone [07:31] really? [07:32] Hello, is there some kind of "Ubuntu Package archive" where I could get an older version of adobe flash player 11.1 ? [07:32] I'd want that for a non-sse2 athlon machine that hickups with the current flash player 12.2.233 [07:32] Hi, I was wondering whether someone could help me with a problem I have. New install of 12.04, but when I try to start the system unity fails to start. If I try and perform unity --restart the system locks up. [07:32] llutz: yes, no packages depend on ubuntu-desktop. however, list of packages that ubuntu-desktop depends *on* might change, couldn't they? [07:32] m123: unlikely since ubuntu-desktop is jst a meta-package [07:33] i just installed this package network-manager-pptp-gnome how can i start the GUI from the CLI ? [07:33] mmoebius: if you know the version you want you can specify it from the commandline [07:33] llutz: edubuntu-desktop depends on ubuntu-desktop [07:33] Fred219: before you restart, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:33] BlakJak: how do i do that ? [07:33] jackiechan0: nm-applet [07:33] Ive only done it once before - checking :P [07:33] 1 monster depends on another monster :) ActionParsnip [07:33] llutz: indeed :) [07:34] 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] that's from the 'apt-get' man page [07:34] got it, what am I looking for in Xorg.log? [07:35] BlakJak: that still needs a repo with an older version available. [07:35] so use 'apt-get install packagename=version' [07:35] llutz: correct... [07:35] BlakJak: let me try, brb [07:35] the one time I had to do it, it worked [07:35] mmoebius: apt-cache policy packagename to check what versions are available in your active repos [07:35] ActionParsnip> tnx === UBUNTU is now known as Guest78373 [07:36] llutz: that's helpful [07:36] hey [07:36] mmoebius I have been able to get Firefox running but no top panel or unity launcher. [07:36] how do i use grep to find a certain text in a folder recursively? [07:36] wingie: grep -r text path/ [07:36] mmoebius: could try lightspark instead [07:37] llutz: haha, one can just replace software-center with http://wiki.debian.org/CreateDummyPackage [07:37] anyone know how to reduce the delay before the touchpad works again when you have 'disable while typing' enabled on a laptop? [07:37] (and not break -desktop) [07:37] llutz: worked great! thanks [07:37] that simple :) [07:37] wingie: grep is powerful :) [07:38] wingie: rule of thumb, -r usually means 'recursive' [07:38] ActionParsnip: thanks for the hint [07:38] m123: sure [07:38] seems a bit overkill to be ttrying to replace software-center [07:38] ala process everything below where you start. [07:38] llutz: very helpful command, thank you [07:38] 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] my graphics card is a ati radeon [07:38] !nomodeset [07:38] 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 [07:39] i was on android before so i couldnt write that much [07:39] im on android phone now. ;) with a fullsized bluetooth keybord [07:39] 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] dr: nice [07:39] wingie: if you need help like this in future: read man-pages :) like "man grep" [07:40] mrtaranweb: you don't get the login screen at all then? [07:40] Hyperbyte: try tools like myunity, or ubuntu-tweak perhaps [07:40] llutz: yeah :) [07:41] 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] dr_willis, so I assume 'myunity' wouldn't work for me? [07:41] Hyperbyte: try them/ they use the same settings i belive [07:42] they all are running on top of the gnome3 core [07:42] dr_willis: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-easily-install-the-slickest-software-center-on-linux/ etc [07:42] dr_willis, alright, trying. :) What about ubuntu-tweak? I don't see that as a command, nor as a package. What is it? [07:43] Hyperbyte: get it from the ubuntu tweak web site if you want. [07:43] one of those let me change my fonts... i recall' [07:43] i always set them bigger [07:44] dr_willis, hah, no need... myunity works. :) Thanks! [07:45] other tweaks may be in ubuntu-tweak. i recall [07:45] I'll check the website. :) [07:45] 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] i like the ubuntu-tweaks option to backup/restore user settings.. [07:46] but i se emore and more tools following tghe 'put in a reset to defaults button' idea [07:49] dr_willis, :D that sound like a revoltionary idea!! [07:49] ccsm has had a reset button for each setting for ages.... [07:51] How can i check what java i have installed..? [07:52] i [07:52] Debro: java -version [07:52] hi alll [07:52] i have problem [07:53] i can't install MFC 7440N printer [07:53] is nomodeset related to a frozen black screen or a frozen purple desktop [07:53] liene: did you grab the 2 driver debs from the brother website?

[07:56] ActionParsnip, in java 6 some programs not working like it should.. [07:56] liene: ok then in the terminal, run: system-config-printer and in the 'find network printer' type the IP in the box and hit 'find' [07:56] BlakJak: llutz: ActionParsnip: The thing is, actual flash binary versions are downloaded from here: http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/ and there is no 11.1 anymore.

[08:15] Debro: sudo update-alternatives --config java [08:15] anybody here know what is cloud? [08:15] !java [08:15] 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).

However, my experience is that NTFS works just fine in Ubuntu and windows. [08:56] Just realised that this is the Ubuntu channel.. [08:56] MarKsaitis: " sudo aptitude purge '~c' ; sudo aptitude clean" [08:56] ActionParsnip, your modest :) and yes Debro there is a communit effort but some that may be named are what oyu see here the most.. 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] GreekFreak: I'd format it NTFS under Windows [08:57] just wanna says thanks for all the help over the years!!

[08:58] ActionParsnip, does it make a difference if I format it under ubuntu in ntfs? [08:58] MarKsaitis: because its more andvanced and the recommended tool in debian )and i'm coming from debian) [08:59] llutz, and is it recomended in ubuntu? [08:59] GreekFreak: NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft, I wouldn't format it to NTFS in anything but windows [08:59] MarKsaitis: i don't care [08:59] ActionParsnip, i was thinking of where do you put our donation box? [08:59] why not? [08:59] yuvateja: in your output does it say: driver=iwlagn [09:00] i dont have sound and i dont see xchat in tray.. using 12.04.. [09:00] MarKsaitis: I only use apt-get, works fine [09:00] MarKsaitis: aptitude works for me™ so why should i [09:00] 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] ActionParsnip, thanks [09:00] s3r3n1t7: true [09:01] SPhcT: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [09:01] MarKsaitis: you wrote ".. purging and removing loads of packages with aptitude and apt-get" thats imho a bad idea, stick with ONE tool and be happy [09:01] !donate | knight [09:01] knight: To donate to Ubuntu, you can !participate or go to http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/donate [09:01] hmz ok [09:02] since I installed loads with apt-get, I should stick with it [09:02] auronandace, what if i said i wanna donate to you dircetly? [09:03] 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] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/MK8Kxm1k === coded is now known as Guest30444 [09:04] knight: why me? i'm just a volunteer. kind of you to offer but i think your money could be better spent (and better put to use) :) [09:04] SPhcT: when you are asked to upload to the server, select to upload and a URL will be made.

I guess you are using it via sys-prefs right now [10:00] airdem: sure you have logout out / logged in again - as some language changes seem to be related to the login [10:00] i need some help please [10:01] ionwind: to get help you need to explain your problem [10:01] hellow [10:01] fidel, yeah i already reloged in [10:02] !anyone | ionwind [10:02] ionwind: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[10:33] Pin-Priority: -1 block update? [10:33] oh nevermind, you run files in linux by doing ./ before [10:33] nadav: ./a.out but not sure it will actually run [10:34] * alankila has a hazy recollection that the binformat support for a.out may be long gone [10:35] : ) [10:35] 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) [10:36] how to encrypt the homedir? [10:36] a [10:37] s [10:37] 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] ls [10:38] 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 [10:39] Milo1 they are the same, base ubuntu + desktop, there is no real difference between the ubuntu versions only the packages installed [10:41] 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] Has any 1 tried upgrading 11.10 to 12.04? how long does it take approx. [10:42] Milo1, well X and LXDE are different, you'd have to switch to Lubuntu to compare [10:42] or install xfce on ubuntu [10:42] anyway in terms of speed LXDE is even faster than xfce, but probably lacks some polish [10:42] b4uloook4me[1] depends on the speed of your computer, amount of packages installed, download speed, ~1--4 hours for me [10:43] yep took a lot of time... new Installation takes mere 30mins [10:43] ktwo : Unfortunately Lubuntu 12.04 is not LTS. [10:43] Milo1, then just install LXDE on U [10:44] 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? [10:45] what's that left side bar of open programs called? [10:45] ktwo : better option? Install lxde on Ubuntu or switch to Xubuntu 12.04? [10:45] meco: Depending on the application, /var/log/syslog might have something useful [10:46] Sonja: Different program have different layouts. [10:46] Milo1, i just said you cant compare, if you need maximum speed LXDE on Ubuntu [10:46] if you still want some eye-candy , xubuntu [10:46] Blarrffll: ok, I'll check that [10:47] ktwo : thanks for the info. [10:48] hello, I am trying to install 12.04 on an Intel i5 with a Radeon graphics card. With the alternate iso, I managed to install, but I am stuck because even failsafeX fails.

[10:57] rtr- try using a tool such as baobab to see what has used the space, you could use find / -msize 50M [10:58] nrabett yes, you could also try xorg -config filename [10:58] testing...

[11:22] ikonia: Last time I created a complete ISO for FreeBSD...the new 12G Dell server PERC card is not being detected by number of OS [11:22] ikonia: All I did is created the ISO from CVS Repository [11:22] so if anyone can help me with that problem [11:22] olividir i've had the same issue after upgrade -- sudo shutdown -h now did the trick, shutdown worked from that moment on [11:23] ikonia: I have no idea about Ubuntu..any idea how shall I try this downloaded driver [11:23] fidel: Anytime ;-) [11:23] vlt: i mean: do you see a pattern how the seqfault is triggered from within chrome? [11:23] i.e. by doing a special click, or visiting a specific page or whatever pattern it might be [11:23] hello there I was wondering is there any other way to convert fbx to obj files apart from autodesk fbx converter? its a pain in my system and it wont work well under wine [11:23] !help, anybody knows how to solve the disconnection problem of Intel Wireless Driver iw3945 ? thanks alot for the help [11:23] Oprtz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:24] fidel: for reference he's using chromium, not chrome [11:24] 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? [11:25] gizero: should work afaict [11:25] remember fbx to obj in ubuntu 11.04 [11:25] linuxfreaker: I'd look on the dell site for the support of that card in linux, see what the notes say [11:26] ikonia: My Ubuntu is not able to detect the hard disk..and now it is on terminal [11:26] does anyone know what to do when the computer does not shut down? [11:26] gizero: does « sudo service procps start » work? [11:26] 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] linuxfreaker: if it can't detect the hard disk, how is it booting ? [11:26] 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] linuxfreaker: and again, I'd look at the dell site for the support notes on that card [11:26] fidel: I’m only using Google sites right now. [11:26] Hi there I'm trying to make a copy of a DVD and the result is a text file of 2,7 Gb .....the file says : This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification. [11:26] gizero: well no, that won't work... [11:27] Hi all [11:27] hey [11:27] 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] jrib, That has worked with previous versions. What do I need to change? [11:27] I use k3b to make the disc copy .....why do I get this result ??? [11:27] 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] wings 3d perhaps¿ [11:27] if you cant reproduce it - its getting ugly ;) [11:27] how do I use it to open a fbx? [11:27] 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 [11:28] dns53 : it works ... I removed the space from the end of the folder name and worked [11:28] 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. [11:29] 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: even in my 10.04 system the init script looks the same [11:29] Is there a command I can use to switch to US keyboard layout in Ubuntu? I need to be able to switch back and forth with a single command. [11:29] oal, setxkbmap [11:29] jrib, Ok... Well it has worked before, but I'll look into a new solution then. [11:29] meisth0th: thanks [11:29] yw [11:29] oal: At least alt-shift works for that normally [11:30] waheed yeah, i have done that and it took me a while to work it out [11:30] gizero: that's definitely not how you want to structure sysctl.conf files [11:30] jrib, That I care very little about. I care about it working. [11:30] meisth0th: is there a list of all valid key maps somewhere? [11:30] 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 [11:31] bekomme für $ /usr/bin/xdpyinfo: xdpyinfo: unable to open display 127.0.0.1:0.0 [11:31] jrib, When you install Dropbox on a stock Ubuntu it complains that it can't monitor enough files. I basically think that Dropbox should do this modification in the package. [11:32] was kann ich tun? xhost +myip habe ich bereits gemacht [11:32] oal, should be /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols [11:32] !help, anybody knows how to solve the disconnection problem of Intel Wireless Driver iw3945 ? thanks alot for the help [11:32] !de > G99wer23 [11:32] G99wer23, please see my private message [11:32] gizero: yeah, packages should install files to that same directory (but prefix with 30) according to /etc/sysctl.d/README [11:33] thanks [11:34] I am trying to get USB NTFS drives to be locked to a specific /dev path when they are plugged in [11:34] Running Ubuntu 11.10 [11:34] i am trying to quit smoking [11:35] meisth0th: ^5 [11:35] me too [11:35] ^5 [11:35] i am at the hardest step right now [11:35] meisth0th: good luck - but somehow not really channel-topic-related [11:35] fidel, i just wanted to share [11:35] alone at the office, no one to talk [11:35] meisth0th: please use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chit chat [11:36] i desire to smoke and i am alone [11:36] hi - i need some help with LIRC - I'm trying to setup my htpc with a new remote (imon iPad), everything looks good, but when i try irw or irrecord with my device only on key on the remote appears to be working - where could be the problem? [11:36] Curious, have they removed The Sun Java from the Ubuntu 10.04 partner repo yet, or is it still there? [11:36] it's so desperate [11:36] yeah my poo was liquid today as well - just wanted to share ' i guess you got my point now' [11:36] sorry, i am moving away, [11:36] offtopic [11:36] well, why? did you eat something strange? [11:36] also, you are being disgusting, not offtopicy [11:36] meisth0th: stop the offtopic [11:37] ikonia: I didnt say Its booting..its unable to see the hard disk [11:38] ikonia: It happend during the installation phase [11:38] Anyway, regarding the Sun JRE/JDK Java6 that Ubuntu 10.04 originally had. Did they ever phase that out, or is it still valid to use to install? === ahmed is now known as Guest33582 [11:38] chrowe_, why are you needing to do this? [11:38] chrowe_ you need to create a udev rule to create a symlink, run lsusb to get the device id, create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ ie 50-disk.rules [11:39] is the synaptic package manager the same as the ubuntu one? does it have all the same programs? (nobody answers at lubuntu) [11:39] magnu_, yes. all the guis use the same apt-get system [11:39] magnu_: it uses the same software sources [11:39] dns53 sounds good [11:39] i mean the lubuntu package manager [11:39] magnu_: No, Synaptic is a package manager tool. Ubuntu One is a "cloud storage" service provided by Canonical. [11:40] magnu_, anything in ubuntu uses the same apt system to install/manage the apps at the lower levels.

[11:41] Dr_willis: we need them to load in the same place so that KVM can find them [11:41] linuxfreaker: you said it's stuck at the command line, which suggests it's booting [11:41] using 10.04 [11:42] chrowe_, accessing the directly eh. not like virtualbox and its shares. [11:42] magnu_, thats why the version is older then. [11:42] 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] dns53: so, the device id will stay the same for the device even after it is unplugged or the system is rebooted? [11:42] Hmm [11:42] Dr_willis: we had some problems getting VirtualBox to do what we wanted [11:43] I guess I just answered my own dern question. There's not even a sun-java package in 10.04 anymore. [11:43] heh [11:43] With the partner repos active. [11:43] <_raven> hi [11:43] Dr_willis: I am not the lead admin on this so can't remember what the issue was [11:43] chrowe_ yes, device and vendor id are unique to each manufacturer [11:43] So, instead of making the packages remove it, I guess they just removed the packages. [11:43] chrowe_, ive always read that using a vm to access a device directly like that - can be.. well.. probemlatic. :) [11:43] ah cheers. Dr-willis i thought [11:44] <_raven> any way to do something like a KVM-Bridge to have a "true" machine on another machine? means something like vnc+usb+sound+....

[12:03] Psi-Jack: Did u get me? [12:04] parapan: You'll need a 64bit version - and I believe you'll need to reinstall [12:04] linuxfreaker: I speak English, not shrtspk. [12:04] okie i will seach in askubuntu.com [12:04] Psi-Jack: ? Did u get what my issue is? [12:04] parapan: (assuming you don't already have a 64bit install...) [12:04] Which Wacom tablet is best supported in ubuntu/unity/gnome-shell? [12:04] linuxfreaker: I speak English, not shrtspk. [12:04] parapan: Instal pae-kernel [12:04] Blarrffll: right; I know for a fact that from windows world there is a 32 bit version with capabilities of extended RAM .... [12:05] grey bird theme is very nice with unity [12:05] linuxfreaker: I'm not that good with kernel compiling [12:05] parapan: apt-get install will do [12:05] linuxfreaker: is only a package or ??? ah, OK ...let's check that ..... [12:06] !pae [12:06] 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] parapan, so use the pae kernel. :) [12:06] Dr_willis: linuxfreaker: you're the man ....thanks [12:06] parapan, pae is default on 12.04 [12:06] parapan, pae is default on 12.04 32bit install - i mean. :) [12:07] Psi-Jack: All I want to know is how to get the lsi driver installed during the installation [12:07] Dr_willis: that's why trying to upgrade but .....it seems a little bit risky this way [12:07] but with exactly 4gb of ram.. you are still at the non-pae limit. [12:07] Psi-Jack: No idea if liveCD could help .. [12:07] now with more then 4gb.. pae would help.. [12:07] linuxfreaker: Yeah. When you learn to spell simple words like "you", I may continue to help you. [12:07] Dr_willis: yes but 10.04 is only seeing 3 Gb from my total 4 [12:07] Psi-Jack: Sorry if I am not good in english [12:07] 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 [12:08] linuxfreaker: It's not about being good or bad, it's that you KNOW better, and choose to be lazy. :p [12:08] 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. === Robert_ is now known as Guest61947 [12:08] 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] parapan, the pae kernel does exist in 10.04. [12:08] linuxfreaker: I told you to look on the dell website, haveyou done that [12:09] ikonia: yes I checked ..dint get it [12:09] Dr_willis: grrrr I'll check that link and see [12:09] linuxfreaker: didn't get it ??? [12:09] linuxfreaker: what didn't you get [12:11] 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] ikonia: There is nothing for Ubuntu [12:11] linuxfreaker: I didn't say ubuntu - I said linux [12:11] ikonia: Ubuntu is not on the supported list [12:11] linuxfreaker ubuntu cant help that [12:11] 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] 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] MonkeyDust: Why? LSI has that driver for Ubuntu [12:12] bibi23: I'm not aware of a 5.4.3 update === Gary is now known as evilGary [12:12] linuxfreaker: you're not using LSI, you're using a rebanded card [12:12] parapan, but i alwyas use 64bit os. :) so i never worry about it [12:12] what's LSI? [12:12] linuxfreaker: look up the linux support for that card on the dell site as I told you earlier [12:12] MonkeyDust: a brand [12:12] ikonia: No...its based on LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240 Falcon [12:12] linuxfreaker: yes, I know that, but it's not that card [12:12] ikonia: It wont work [12:12] bibi23: ubntu provides certain versions of each package through its package management system. Installing different versions isn't supported [12:13] 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] ikonia: I did that for FreebSD sometime ago.. [12:13] Heh [12:13] ikonia: it was released a few days ago [12:13] bibi23: released where ? [12:13] ikonia: All I need help now on inserting the driver at installation time [12:13] linuxfreaker: I believe it's F6 for additional options [12:13] ikonia: During installation i am unable to install the driver before partiotioing [12:13] ikonia: i don't know I just saw on php.net === lance is now known as Guest79846 [12:14] bibi23: right, so that isn't an ubuntu pacakge, there is no ubuntu apckage [12:14] ikonia: Let me check F6 option [12:14] mcphail: what is the latest version of php provided by ubuntu? [12:14] bibi23: use what ubuntu offers you and don't worry about it === lance_ is now known as Guest60606 [12:14] How can I type a specific char by it's unicode number like in windows you use ALT+[NUMBER FROM KEYPA]. ? [12:14] bibi23: use "apt-get policy " to see the versions === gabriele is now known as Guest47916 [12:15] bibi23: also "apt-get cache show PACKAGENAME" should do the trick. and if you have php installed 'php -v' should be good. [12:15] 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] bibi23: also packages.ubuntu.com for a web based view [12:15] bibi23: ubuntu repository doesn't have the latest version of PHP. so I might have to download from PHP.net [12:15] someone know how to fix problem when my server doesn't resolve any ip address? [12:15] mcphail: policy isn't available when doing apt-get [12:16] bibi23: sorry apt-cache not apt-get [12:16] parapan, 32bit hardware cant run 64bit os. [12:16] currently I'm with php 5.3.2 if I do php -v [12:16] bibi23: then use 5.3.2 [12:16] parapan, 32bit CPU cant run 64bit os ;) GPU is the video card [12:16] Dr_willis: so I've got that right [12:16] ome : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#In_X11 is that any help?

[12:17] it used to work in past, it's surely problem in the configuration of server, I think some of services needs restart [12:17] bibi23: so, 5.3.10 is the latest available version on ubuntu [12:17] 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] bibi23: then don't [12:17] <_val_> s/compy/copy [12:17] 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 [12:18] Blarrffll: cheers. let me check it. [12:18] bibi23: it is much safer using an automatically supported and bug-fixed version frrom the ubuntu repos [12:19] 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] there are a lot of releases since 5.3.2 [12:19] _val_, you can select then middle click to paste.. in most apps. [12:20] Blarrffll: thanks :) [12:20] _val_, you may want to try out some of the clipbord manager tools also. [12:20] !info glipper [12:20] 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] bioman: it worked? [12:20] 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] gwelter: ok thanks! is it upgradable through aptitude for example? [12:21] 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] _val_, i dont know what you mean by scrollbar of the mouse. [12:22] 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] ikonia: F6 just shows some option related to acpi, free software..etc === evilGary is now known as goodGary [12:22] <_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 [12:23] _val_: that's probably because there different clipboards. E.g. Firefox uses a different clipboard than gnome-terminal [12:23] _val_, it works here just fine... at least in xchat - i just tested it.... [12:23] <_val_> how to change on gnome? [12:23] <_val_> Dr_willis: worksworksworworksworksworksks [12:23] mcphail: that's what I'm trying to do! but upgrading a version isn't part of that? [12:23] ;) double click selected a word in xchat. [12:23] Anyone who can help me installing driver during the installation phase [12:24] on Ubuntu 10.04 [12:24] 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] bibi23: yes - learn the basics of the ubuntu package system [12:24] <_val_> It does work here too. :< [12:24] works when i double click a line in gnome-terminal also.. willis@Speedbuntu:~$ geany .conkyrc [12:24] <_val_> soo weird. [12:24] bibi23: it is your best friend [12:25] <_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] 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] 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 [12:26] bibi23 I don't use aptitude, but is has probably shown updated packages for the ones you have already installed === samhassell is now known as Guest35057 [12:27] Blarrffll: iiuw, you mean removing the sleep command ? [12:28] bibi23: but to update use: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade (from the top my head) [12:28] gwelter: so apt-get upgrade should do the trick? === apachelogger_ is now known as apachelogger [12:28] bibi23: yes, does almost the same [12:28] bioman: the network configuration 60 second thing [12:30] is there any way to check why dns is broken at least, some debug command [12:30] hey folks. has anyone noticed any weirdness with pulseaudio in 12.04? [12:30] cappicard: weirdness? [12:31] i either lose sound or it is rushed/chopped. I keep having to kill that process and let it respawn. [12:31] my toshiba laptop has 12.04, and it tends to lose sound until I respawn pulseaudio. [12:31] Is there a Ubuntu ISO bittorrent feed for the 32-bit desktop, 64-bit server and 32-bit server ? [12:32] cappicard: notsure sorry. Someone else may be able to assist. [12:32] my desktop exhibits both behavior. [12:32] Blarrffll: infact, I had other issues : network wasn't initialized. I've searched on Internet, finding issues with /run, /var, where it was to delete some directories, recreating some, creating symlinks... I still had the waiting for... but network worked [12:32] !torrents | bananapie [12:32] bananapie: Precise can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/desktop/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/server/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs.

I guess something is leaking memory because I'm using over 5GB now (without cache). The cache is using up my 18GB, which is fine. I just don't see how my applications are eating up over 5GB! [12:34] yes I have a lot of browser windows, but all the processes don't add up to nearly 5GB [12:34] ldiamond use htop [12:34] Blarrffll: it works but it's not a nice fix, for me... :/. I followed ubuntu bugs web pages [12:35] MonkeyDust, ah, htop is cute :) === asdafa is now known as Sheldon === Sheldon is now known as Sheldon__ [12:35] hi [12:35] I think I have a small problem with 12.04 [12:35] MonkeyDust, what am I looking for? It's reporting the same thing as the System Monitor. [12:35] Sheldon__: then you need a small solution [12:36] well :P [12:36] lol [12:36] it's probably easy, but I don't know where to look for it [12:36] the problem is with internet connection sharing [12:36] gwelter: any idea? [12:36] ldiamond CPU% and MEM% [12:36] !ics | Sheldon__ [12:36] Sheldon__: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [12:37] yea it's the same thing. It says over 5GB used by applications. [12:37] Doesn't add up though [12:37] petan|wk: your dns servers are not reachable [12:37] but I can ping it [12:37] when I switch to google dns server, it tell me the same [12:37] I was using opendns, maybe their server is down? [12:37] MonkeyDust, if I close everything I'll probably have 2GB usage still [12:37] but why I can ping it then [12:38] petan|wk: 'dig @8.8.8.8 wmf.org' works for me [12:39] yes thanks! [12:39] ldiamond sounds weird, next thing on my mind: you have more than one kernel installed in / [12:39] that dns server is up [12:39] heh I should make a list of dns servers in case one is down [12:39] MonkeyDust, nah, running stock 12.04 [12:39] petan|wk: google's dns servers are easy to remember (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) [12:39] MonkeyDust, I've read somewhere that the System Monitor Indicator causes leaks, can't find it anymore. [12:40] the "Save File" dialog does not remember its size, how do I report this bug? I think it is a common GTK problem [12:40] MonkeyDust, still supposing it would show up in the process memory usage... [12:40] gwelter: ok [12:40] launchpad does not accepte bug report, it only accept bug report via the ubuntu-bug program [12:42] MonkeyDust, http://superuser.com/questions/259100/linux-memory-full-process-memory-usage-doesnt-add-up-in-top [12:42] Maybe this is why... [12:42] Can someone help me setup steam on Ubuntu? [12:43] I have Wine installed but not really sure how to use it... [12:43] st3el_: maybe #winehq could help better [12:43] freenode? [12:43] st3el_: indeed [12:43] auronandace, cool thanks. [12:43] st3el_: no worries [12:45] Could anyone tell me how I can install wine? [12:45] What the hell? As soon as I open Transmission, without any downstream connection, my net still (excuse the language) f**ks up?! [12:45] anil: sudo apt-get install wine [12:45] Thank you auronandace [12:46] Mayazcherquoi: no need to write "excuse the language", just don't use it [12:46] auronandace, good advice but it doesn't seem anyone is in there [12:46] 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] st3el_: plenty are there === Shojo is now known as Chell [12:46] auronandace, perhaps but none are awake [12:47] Mayazcherquoi: maybe it's your router. some routers just die with torrent traffic [12:47] st3el_: you've been there for how long? [12:47] Mayazcherquoi: tested other torrent clients? [12:47] auronandace, I'm not really sure how this works... [12:48] st3el_: how what works? [12:48] st3el_: why not read the docs on the wine website? [12:48] 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). === stephan is now known as yashshah [12:48] gwelter, because it doesn't make sense to me... [12:48] I've already looked them over [12:48] hi all [12:48] Mayazcherquoi: it can also depends on the number of connections the client opens at the same time [12:49] is it possible to activate visualization in rhythmbox ... I can't find the way [12:49] auronandace, I'm not exactly sure how long I should sit idly... [12:49] gwelter: I am aware of that, and thus have it reduced. [12:49] st3el_: what are you trying to accomplish? [12:49] Reduced significantly from my Windows equivalent (over 60%) [12:49] Mayazcherquoi: can you elaborate 'can't handle basic torrent traffic' [12:49] st3el_: 2 mins isn't that long (especially to say that nobody is awake) [12:49] st3el_: Follow the tutorial on the Wine AppDB website. [12:49] gwelter I would love to play tf2 on Ubuntu [12:50] ugh.. Like I said I've already looked that over [12:50] Mayazcherquoi: maybe enable/disable upnp in transmission? [12:50] fidel: My computers wireless internet connection destabilises immediately after any P2P traffic. [12:50] and it doesn't make sense to ME [12:50] gwelter: Have done, no effect. [12:50] I'm new to linux in general [12:50] Me too. [12:50] st3el_: have you looked at playonlinux? [12:50] Even manually forwarded the ports on my router. Nothing. [12:50] doesn't mean I'm new to the internet/google [12:51] gwelter, no I haven't [12:51] Mayazcherquoi: ok, what exactly breaks on your network? [12:51] My computer just loses access. [12:51] can some1 help me to install NFS underground 2? [12:51] st3el_: Should work fine, according to: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444 [12:52] killtrace: windows game? [12:52] yap [12:52] auronandace: It is.

[12:53] st3el_: Just follow what it tells you? [12:54] in CD1 folder are .bin and .cue ext. so can u mount that? === mint is now known as NESSuno [12:54] Mayazcherquoi: does it happen with a different torrent client? [12:55] killtrace: Query, do you legally own this game? [12:55] for example it calls for an installation of "Gecko" [12:55] idk what that is.. [12:55] gwelter: Yes. Both Transmission and qBitorrent produce the same net connection fluctuations. [12:55] hi folks, is it possible to configure my ubuntu to auto open my often used applications when I power it on? [12:55] st3el_: the rendering engine used in firefox [12:55] try googling Gecko... [12:55] st3el_: That's what Firefox uses to display its webpages [12:55] explane legally I don't jave real Cd's it's downloaded from torrent I will not play online just in single player mode [12:56] so I already have it, no? [12:56] st3el_: Best solution I can offer you. [12:56] st3el_: Go to the Software Centre, and search for and install "PlayOnLinux" (without the quotes, of course) [12:56] It's pretty straightforward after that ;) [12:57] hi guys ..........i got this problem while installing software [12:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/981630/ [12:57] hi again.. === asddfdsfgqfd is now known as Sheldon__ [12:57] If i install playonlinux do i require wine?

[12:58] repackaged [12:58] ok [12:58] well as I said, having a problem with connection sharing [12:58] anil: By searching for it of course ;D [12:58] ubuntu 10.04 and other distros used 10.42.43.x as the network shared range [12:58] but 12.04 seems to use 10.42.0.x [12:59] is there any way to change it? since I don't like using DHCP [12:59] Mayazcherquoi, thanks playonlinux seems legit :D [12:59] st3el_: All goods :) [12:59] Sheldon u have router options program for that [12:59] what?

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] could 32bit vs 64 bit be buggy? [13:51] 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] for uvc devices =P [13:51] I wish to find out the version of the driver used [13:51] I have nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:51] MotherMGA: try booting to single user and disabling nfs [13:52] /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory [13:52] Jannisss: paste the outputs that the command: lsmod | grep video give you [13:52] MotherMGA: Or single user and removing any nfs mountpoints from fstab [13:52] aFeijo: I do not.. I just make new screens as I need them [13:53] UICTamale, multiples in one is very useful, and you can split the screen in 2 or more, fantastic to monitor a server [13:53] Chuck_Norris, http://pastebin.com/gYZZDefs [13:53] 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.

[15:03] Oh some certification ubuntu has :/ Awarded "certified" but Hibernate may fail after several cycles of hibernate/resume [15:03] :/ :/ :/ [15:03] i tried on 2 ubuntu version 12.04 (one was a fresh install, the other was updated) [15:03] Hi everyone, I cannot choose to install Ubuntu side by side with Windows 7 and the installer suggests installing within WIndows (using WUBI) [15:03] Hi. If i do this: find ../vendor/php/cakephp/lib/Cake/ -iname "*.php" -exec grep -H -A 1 -B 1 "function asset" {} + all files are searched for a specific string and results are printed to the screen. Is there any wa i can also print the line number of the results? [15:03] and on the updated one he couldn't access to decriptors without sudo. Even 3rd party softwares couldn't do it [15:03] why? [15:04] what is "meta" key? [15:04] capslock286, if you open gparted how many partitions do you see? [15:05] Quite a lot, it is the quite tricky HP-implementation of UEFI, you see... :-( [15:05] capslock286, Is this a booted live cd as awell [15:05] I've tried with both USB-boot and live-cd boot [15:07] 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] 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. [15:08] Thanks for trying! :-) [15:09] hey all, i'm running xinerama on 2 monitors and if my mouse speed is fast when switching screens (right to left), the mouse is placed all the way to the left of the left screen, but if i go slow, it will act "normally" [15:09] ALthough, the UEFI-issue is not central, so I would appreciate if you'd like to give your input to as why the installer doesn't give me the option to install it side by side... [15:09] anybody know if this is a setting i can change? [15:09] :-) [15:10] toodiesel try asking in #ubuntustudio [15:11] hi there.I'm stuck.may I use gpl-ed software for business if I don't modify the source code?I searched net,but can't understand at all [15:11] I am using acpi_call to disable nvidia on my ubuntu machine, is it a good way ? [15:11] zsolt: yes. [15:11] zsolt: in fact you can modify the code too. [15:11] MonkeyDust: thx [15:12] Why doesn't the installer provide the option to install Ubuntu side by side with Windows 7? [15:12] I know,that if I modify,I have to put the source code for public,is it true? === Strife is now known as Guest59701 [15:13] zsolt: this isn't really ubuntu related, join #ubuntu-offtopic [15:13] thank you [15:15] I cannot install Ubuntu side by side with Windows (the option doesn't appear). Any clues? [15:15] 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] can anyone help me about that? [15:16] jackiechan0, how about using network-manager-openvpn ? [15:16] 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] hauptstrasse> do i have to install it or it's embedded in natty? [15:16] jackiechan0, I don't know. Try installing it, if its already installed apt-get will tell you so [15:17] hauptstrasse> it's installing, does it have a gui? [15:17] jackiechan0, of course. You should be able to select openvpn when configuring network manager. [15:18] hauptstrasse> how can i do that? [15:18] My Production serer of 11.10 is running great. Should I upgrade to 12? [15:18] jackiechan0, I won't give you click by click directions. This is really easy. Just use the network manager gui from your system tray. [15:19] ZenMaster, hi [15:19] linuxuz3r: Hi. [15:19] hauptstrasse> on the network manager gui i just can configure a VPN [15:19] 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] ZenMaster, i think you should upgrade [15:19] hauptstrasse> ok ok i found [15:19] linuxuz3r: I am just afraid of upgrading. I have all my services working fine at the moment. I don't want anything to break. [15:20] ok wait then [15:20] ;p [15:20] ZenMaster, if everything is working perfectly, then you have no reason to take the risk. [15:20] ZenMaster - do you have a spare, similar computer, to your server? [15:20] i only upgraded to 12.04 for gnomeshell [15:20] john22: i did the same thing but my freezes and i couldnt get the drive isntall [15:20] ;p [15:20] No I do not. [15:20] i upgraded an apache server in a test environment to 12 and encountered no issues [15:20] And for my call center this server is critical because the call center software stores all the dispositioned leads here. [15:21] call center? [15:21] lol [15:21] So when the client wants to make sure the Agent is doing their job, they can connect and download. [15:21] I did encounter issues on workstations in the same testing environment [15:21] I am I.T. for a Telemarketing firm. :) [15:21] 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 [15:22] ZenMaster, ok [15:22] ZenMaster is also the master of wisdom. [15:22] yeah [15:22] I was more just asking to if there were any significant benefits. [15:23] The Linux server is no where near the edge of my network. :) [15:23] hauptstrasse> no way it doesn't work !!! Connection was not provided by any settings service [15:23] I'd upgrade because it's LTS [15:23] kinenkaya: Yes, that is a good reason. [15:23] and if you're using Ubuntu in a production environment you're going to want that support. [15:23] 12.04 is a long term update package (LTS), like 10 was.. o.O [15:23] hauptstrasse> i followed this guide http://unblockvpn.com/support/how-to-set-up-unblock-vpn-on-linux.html [15:23] even if your employer is honeybadger. [15:23] hauptstrasse> and now i used openvpn manager [15:23] hauptstrasse> can u help me? [15:24] 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] resno, yea i thought it was more stable but unity works well, no crashes or freezes at all [15:25] 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] I was just wondering, becuase it tells me in the console that I should upgrade to 12.10. :D [15:25] hi there anyone available to help me to set my VPN ? === EvilResistance is now known as Resistance [15:25] whats a vpn [15:25] virtual private network [15:25] ZenMaster, I'm working in an environment where they care selectively. THey care more when a client has a concern of compliance, so I'm left making decisions based on that. [15:25] ? [15:25] I'm not reading to upgrade production servers to 12 though. [15:26] Hello all, I'm looking for help with folder permissions of HD on a crashed system [15:26] booting from live usb ubuntu 10.10 [15:26] linuxuz3r> 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 [15:26] kinenkaya: I hear ya. [15:26] 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 [15:27] jackiechan0, im not a networking guy [15:27] sorry [15:27] linuxuz3r> tnx anyway [15:27] cant rescue some desktop folders because of permissions [15:27] Where in Earth is the arial font stored in Ubuntu when installed? [15:27] i mounted the volume and can browse my hd from the life ubuntu stick [15:28] you could open a terminal and type "locate ttf" xskydevilx [15:28] Zenmaster: I tried to change a workstation a "enterprise linux distro" earlier this week from ubuntu 11.10 and came back to Ubuntu 12.04 because I had an easier time making it compliant [15:28] It opens a whole list. And I am just looking for one - Arial, shomon. [15:29] looked up some chown and chmod options but i'm not realy familiar with cmdlinne work around [15:29] Zenmaster: now we just gotta home that Ubuntu gets the brand recognition to let us do our jobs. [15:29] shomon, Never mind, found it by simply locate arial.ttf. [15:30] can anyone tell me what these start up errors which stop me from logging in mean? '[drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d:0: === misaligned reg 0x0060081D' and '[drm] nouvea 0000:00:0d.0: unknown connector type: 0xff!!' [15:30] any hints or answers ? [15:30] ah maybe.. try typing "locate arial" ? [15:30] does anyone know how to import earlier profiles or home directories into ubuntu 12.04? [15:30] do you just install 12.04 then copy the old profile over it?? [15:30] 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] Leodi, looked up on the manpages? [15:30] coll xskydevilx [15:30] cool [15:31] xskydevilx, /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ [15:31] no ty, will look up now then [15:31] john22, found it, ty. [15:32] Leodi, they are online as well. manpages.ubuntu.com [15:32] ZenMaster: I'm advocating Ubuntu to cut cost in M$ licensing. Most of my testing is the systems on my desk at this point. [15:32] hi [15:32] kinenkaya: Ahhh. :D [15:32] ZenMaster: I'm "that guy" in the IT dept. The 15 year linux guy who had to pick a windows sysmin profession. [15:32] kinenkaya: Yes all the machines here run Xp, with a Win Server 2008 running AD DHCP and DNS. [15:33] Does anybody know why my Compiz "bottom left" bindin won't stick after reboot? [15:33] kinenkaya: Same here. :) [15:33] kinenkaya, me too i really like ubuntu [15:33] I've Updated my Ubuntu System to Version 12.04 . When i switch my workspaces/desktops by using s my screen freezes and nothing happens. What can i do to fix the problem? [15:33] I set Scale to bottom left - and in Compiz it says that's the setting but I have to unset it then reset it to get it to work again after rebooting. [15:33] looked up quickly and i don't get how this cn help ? [15:34] ZenMaster: yea we're running the works on the M$ side. And they're impressed with how well my open source alternatives are working out. I'm the only person running linux as my primary workstation. [15:34] hello [15:34] ye [15:34] i need to transfer folders to other ext HD [15:34] kinenkaya: That is awesome! [15:34] no permission [15:34] kinenkaya: My only small victory at the moment is our File server I have rocking Ubuntu. ;) [15:35] i need some information about the DEB file...Can you share me Document or Link ? [15:35] proviliage [15:35] why do I get weird error messages when updating apt-get, such as 1) W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/indicator-multiload/stable-daily/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found and 2) W: Failed to fetch copy:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ppa.launchpad.net_indicator-multiload_stable-daily_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch and so on.. [15:35] But since the two rooms are broken into 30 computers each. I was thinking about deploying half as linux and the other half as windows. :) [15:35] ZenMaster: we had a very mixed environment on the nix side before I came onboard. BSD, Solaris, Debian, Cent & SUSE. Consolidated that. Easier to script. [15:36] This has been like this since the last LTS [15:36] It's ridiculous. [15:36] bazhang > still there ? [15:36] Why don't Compiz settings - mouse in the bottom left, for example, stay after a reboot? [15:37] i need some information about the DEB file...Can you share me Document or Link ? [15:37] Does anybody else use Scale - the Expose clone. [15:37] ZenMaster: Ubuntu has solved lots of problems for me. [15:37] kinenkaya: Jesus! [15:37] ZenMaster, no, I am Jesus. [15:37] awwf23, is that a gnome extension or compiz plugin? [15:38] ZenMaster: and for the company. [15:39] linuxuz3r, compiz. It works fine, but the - I don't know the term - screen area hotkey erm. hotspot? the corner / bottom - I have setup is still set after reboot. But it simply doesn't trigger unless I unset it then set it again. [15:39] awwf23: HEhehe. [15:39] Under Bindings [15:39] kinenkaya: Well that is an awesome testimony. Should be on the front page. [15:39] can someone help me to [15:39] I've upgraded linux to 12.04. How do I copy in my old profile settings or homedir config? [15:39] do I just copy over the default stuff? [15:40] mount an encrypted partition? [15:40] or is there an "importer"? [15:40] awwf23, ok [15:40] shomon: If you upgraded, then everything should already be there. [15:40] shomon: did you have a username or something? [15:40] can anyone help me fix the apt-get update problem? [15:40] hi... i have ubuntu 12.04. the temperature gets really high.. i've already installed proprietary driver AMD and also i've followed this instruction: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/linux-kernel-power-issue-fix.html but still my laptop get so hot.. what should i do?? [15:40] I wish to mount /dev/sda5 in /media/sabayon [15:40] ohad_, what is your problem? [15:40] linuxuz3r, yeah, hotkeys work fine but the screen corner binding (where you move the mouse there) breaks after every reboot. [15:41] oh [15:41] it might be a plugin problem [15:41] how can i delete a shortcut i set? i just can change it but i cant remove it. [15:41] mount /dev/sda5 /media/sabayon/ mount: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS' [15:41] i have not used compiz for a long time [15:41] oh. [15:41] Maybe that's why. [15:41] Maybe Ubuntu people don't use things like this. [15:41] I use a lot of windows, you see. [15:42] a lot [15:42] nina666, check the system monitor to see if there are processes that are using a lot of resources, dropbox can be one of them as an example [15:42] jon__, why do I get weird error messages when updating apt-get, such as 1) W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/indicator-multiload/stable-daily/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found and 2) W: Failed to fetch copy:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ppa.launchpad.net_indicator-multiload_stable-daily_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch and so on.. [15:42] precise seems to boot really slowly, several times longer than oneiric... anyone else seeing this? [15:42] can any body help my with access to HD folder not permitted from live usb ? [15:42] helo: somehow i agree that it's a bit slower [15:42] I guess it's just going to stay broken for another 5 years. [15:42] L O L [15:43] jon__, ok i check using $htop... a process "compiz" is using 50%++ of my cpu... :( what is that> [15:43] How I can disable brightness control popup showing up? (I have remapped brightness keys, and the brightness control doesn't work anyway on my laptop) [15:43] ? [15:43] awwf23: Did you log or look for a bug when you had the issue previously? [15:43] Can I get someone in the US to show me the contents of their ~/.pam_environment file please? [15:43] Pici, sweetie, it's really the coder's job to think of testing the program. [15:43] Also running ubuntu 12.04 [15:44] people maybe some one know how to resolve this issue: how can I reset all network interfaces in centos, when i do /etc/init.d/network restart he says: Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring. [15:44] 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] Well,what do you expect for free. [15:44] Have fun pplz [15:44] free and open [15:44] chown and chmod from live usb ??? plz help [15:44] Eupator: We do not support Centos here. Please use their support channel or ##linux [15:45] 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] nina666, (in lay mans terms) compiz is what gives you your graphics animations [15:46] I have built a program using the make command. How can I uninstall it now? [15:46] Eupator, maybe the #centos irc channel here on freenode can help [15:46] exit [15:46] 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 [15:47] 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] it might help [15:47] 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] jon__, ok let me try, thx [15:47] martijn_dekker: There's an option in your display settings to enable/diable the sticky area [15:47] nina666, np [15:47] Yep people I have already try ask on #centos, but their channel like every one is dead on it.... [15:47] Ahh, thanks. I freed my mouse [15:48] Now Unity is sort of usable again. Still too bad that Ubuntu Classic kind of kicked the curb on my pc [15:48] hi any bandwidth monitoring apps/widgets that are recommended? [15:48] I have to ask: do people truly like this new desktop environment? [15:49] ie 'you have used 1GB this month' [15:49] that i can check from my toolbar [15:49] !ask [15:49] 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] 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] 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] Uhm, I mean 11.10. 11.04 worked okay-ish I think. Not sure. [15:50] martijn_dekker: alt right click [15:50] later guys [15:50] have fun [15:50] does anyone know how to import a profile once you install 12.04? [15:50] LetterRip, alt-rightclick does not work on my taskbar with either alt key [15:51] martijn_dekker: odd... works here [15:51] Not on Unity, right now, but also not on Ubuntu Classic.. tried it a bit earlier. [15:51] in ubuntu classic [15:51] martijn_dekker: use alt super rightclick [15:51] What is the super button? The windows flag button? [15:52] jon__, installed... how should i reach for the OpenGL and unchecking the thing...? [15:52] yes [15:52] I tried alt-winkey-rmb, which brings up a keyboard shortcuts menu [15:52] nina666, OpenGL is under General [15:52] martijn_dekker: thats not right [15:52] Pressing winkey first brings up the sidebar, and pressing alt while holding winkey also brings up the shortcuts menu [15:53] martijn_dekker: you have compiz? it tends to take over your shortcuts [15:53] 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] Carpe|Diem, I do have compiz. It has never been a problem up til now. === nacnud is now known as realityinfo [15:53] martijn_dekker: strange... [15:53] nina666, if you're having a hard time finding it, try searching for OpenGL in the filter [15:53] I'm not sure what I even have it for, I don't care for fancy graphics stuff at all. [15:53] Morning all. [15:54] uninstall it then :) [15:54] I have built a program using the make command. How can I uninstall it now? [15:54] hmm [15:54] hello, can u help me plz with folder permissions on HD from live usb [15:54] magma: find the uninstall script in the program"s install folder [15:54] jon__, did that, it only gave me the cairo-dock-openGL...and btw i see no General also... [15:55] 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] Im wanting rsync to copy files and any changes to files... but not delete files at its destination [15:55] ok, made it past "install Ubuntu" to select a language screen, now keyboard's totally dead. No keys responting [15:55] is this possible? [15:55] jon__, but when I went to the PPA, I saw they do have 12.04 builds available [15:55] Carpe|Diem, every permutation of alt, winkey and rmb I have tried so far still behaves the same [15:55] Carpe|Diem, What if there is no uninstall script ? [15:56] nina666, in compiz config manager (ccsm) what options do you see then? [15:56] magma: than you will have to uninstall manually... [15:56] martijn_dekker: ok, well im sorry but i cant help you...im not familiar with your proble;ms :( [15:57] 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] folder permissions from Live ubuntu stick, plz help [15:57] 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] Thanks anyway [15:58] 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] martijn_dekker: you"re welcome. If it may be any comfort to you, i realy dislike unity and gnome3 also... [15:58] Nevermind... device menu I guess. [15:59] 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] Meh >_> [15:59] !notunity | martijn_dekker [15:59] 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] nina666, click on OpenGL. Under that you'll see an option called Sync to VBlank. Make sure that's unchecked. [15:59] martijn_dekker: true... [16:00] im facing the same dillema [16:00] i even thought of moving to debian [16:00] they still have gnome2 mainstream [16:00] ohad_, can you give me the ppa you're using [16:00] access some HD folders not permitted when boot from Live ubuntu stick, plz help [16:00] sure jon__ [16:00] I actually have Ubuntu Classic as an optin, bazhang, but it's just gotten too buggy to use since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 or 11.10. [16:01] option* [16:01] jon__, wow thanks!!! it instantly decreased from 75% to 12% !!! what just happened...? what does that sync to VBlank do?? [16:01] I can't even see my Skype icon or communication widget. [16:01] I mean, can't see them if I use Ubuntu Classic [16:01] jon__, https://launchpad.net/~indicator-multiload/+archive/stable-daily I did install the indicator from there 4 hours ago, and suddenly I get an error...

[16:46] only on ubuntu server [16:46] all other windows servers are normal [16:46] I think its IPv6 [16:46] jon__, I did that shutdown thing, but no disk scan happend [16:47] seanlew: if it doesn't reply, it filters ICMP *at*, if it does, your box is filtering ICMP replies [16:47] but I cant disable that untilI can type correct keys [16:47] Also, does anyone have this problem where flash sometimes shows a black screen in a browser?

[17:07] 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] 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] seanlew: if you can get to terminal check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/982021/ open the file and add the hv_ modules. ubuntu comes boxed with them. [17:07] 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 [17:08] 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] seanlew: try loadkeys -d [17:08] seanlew: no guarantees [17:08] guarantuees [17:09] oh fart. [17:09] does anyone know where i can find a demonoid chat room? [17:09] imbezol, bazhang also at startup (i have an encrypted drive), i have 50% chance of a "proper" gui to type the passwords and 50% chance of getting a messed up screen where i have to press escape to get to the text interface to type them (not really a big problem but might be a symptom) [17:09] bouncysteve: normally DNS server info is received via DHCP === ludkiller is now known as ludkiller|AFK [17:10] bouncysteve: sometimes a hybrid configuration can get in the way, where DNS are statically overridden [17:10] bouncysteve: so you need to make sure that: * There is no conflicting config for DHCP .. * There is no other application overwriting /etc/resolv.conf .. * The DNS server stored in /etc/resolv.conf is valid and reachable for queries [17:11] 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] Hi, this is the second time that my system crashes (it is freezing and I needed to force restart press button power)...

It last about twice as long when I boot in windows. Is there an advanced power management tool i can get? [17:13] fabian_: why not just install windows virtualized in ubuntu using something like vbox? Seems like it would work well for just using photoshop [17:13] bouncysteve: later, do tcpdump -r dump -vv -n [17:13] in /tmp [17:14] is there a shortcut to move a window? my windows are opening on a non-active screen [17:14] fabian_: it's possible. when you go to windows and truecrypt the system partition it will overwrite the mbr [17:14] sirkhctiw, linux seems to have some power management issues, atm [17:14] bouncysteve: there should be traffic to gateway for DNS requests [17:14] or at least maximize it so i know where the top bar is? [17:14] does anyone have this problem where flash sometimes shows a black screen in a browser?

[17:17] kinenkaya: Thanks for your help, do you can advise me a virtualization software, that has not bugs such as Wine [17:17] sirkhctiw; Didn't exactly help.

[17:18] sancas: it's difficult to boot from raid. create a /boot partition on one of the drives and install grub there. [17:18] xskydevilx; I'm not sure I have only used the 64bit version [17:19] 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] hola-..

[17:19] 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. [17:20] sirkhctiw; Could be. [17:20] can anyone help with my grub.cfg? i cannot boot any linux mode without inode and mountall errors. the kind user Carpe|Diem was looking at my grub.cfg which is at http://pastebin.com/8FzEs2X5 if you can help then thank you! [17:21] brokenc, have you run fsck on your root partition [17:21] ok im going to try bouncysteve [17:21] sirkhctiw; Any suggestions? === Taftse2 is now known as Taftse [17:22] how do you restart unity from the cli? [17:22] brokenc, you dont think theres a drive problem? have you checked the SMART data? [17:22] Can i update to 12.04 but keep all my files and software [17:22] escott: no, i should try that from my livecd right? [17:22] bakarat: if you don't mind using your session, use sudo lightdm restart to log in again [17:23] brokenc, yes [17:23] compdoc: yes i do think there is one, i have not checked that though [17:23] bakarat *losing* [17:23] !upgrade | LukeNukem [17:23] LukeNukem: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [17:23] LukeNukem: yep, just upgrade as described in the wiki [17:24] brokenc, open Disk Utility, and click on your hard drive. It will show you any errors [17:24] bakarat: should be "unity --replace" I believe [17:24] compdoc: ok doing that [17:25] xsky: not sure.. ?? [17:25] the 64 bit thing is all I've got [17:25] I installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 and my ESX host died, now when booting I am taken to the grub rescue menu... how can I repair grub from here [17:26] compdoc: the result i get is "filesystem is NOT clean" [17:26] I'm still a noob when it comes to ubuntu [17:26] jrib, how much mb do you think it will be? any estimation? [17:26] brokenc, have you ever seen the drive get checked at boot? you can force that to happen [17:27] LukeNukem: to download? [17:27] compdoc: i have often seen this but the computer does not seem to make it that far into the boot process anymore [17:27] jrib, the iso is around 800mb but what about when upgrading for 11.10 to 12.04 [17:27] compdoc: on this particular machine i have not seen the fsck run recently though [17:27] sirkhctiw; Could it be because of the display drivers? [17:27] LukeNukem: it depends on what you have installed. The update-manager should inform you about how much it will download when you upgrade [17:28] brokenc, in Disk Utility, does it say the drive is healthy? or does it say anything about bad sectors? [17:28] i hope 12.04 supports all things 11.10 does and there are no compatability issues [17:28] "disk is healthy" [17:29] compdoc: shall i run the SMART test? [17:29] xskydevilx, it's possible i suppose [17:29] sirkhctiw; Fudge. [17:30] am i in the right place to ask about 12.04 issue with broadcom BCM4313 wifi driver? [17:30] brokenc, no, that will just waste time. If there were any bad sectors, it would be recorded aready [17:30] already [17:31] howto make compiz settings stick after reboot for my user where compizconfig is perm'd 700 already? why does it not stick? more info was pasted above [17:32] compdoc: any idea why Carpe|Diem wanted to see my grub.cfg? [17:32] i've followed the instructions here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/995318 after a fresh 12.04 installation, since my broadcom BCM4313 wifi card didn't work anymore [17:32] Launchpad bug 995318 in jockey (Ubuntu) "BCM4313 wireless dont works in 12.04" [Undecided,New] [17:32] installed the new packages and blacklisted the old modules [17:32] but still it won't work, now the network interface is not even recognized anymore [17:33] 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] 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] 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? [17:34] compdoc: he seemed to think that because there was a working WinXP parition that was a good sign... [17:34] which one should i use to keep desktop cube to retain after reboot? none of them are working? [17:34] ompizconfig says Default, when i know i changed that [17:34] brokenc, yeah, likely. At least theres a chance you can save your data [17:35] compdoc: if i attempted to re-run the ubuntu installer, would that salvage my old data? [17:35] brokenc, can it boot ubuntu at all? [17:35] compdoc: only via livecd [17:36] compdoc: inode and mountall errors on recovery or normal boot [17:36] w're using 10.04 and I need to upgrade our memcached (1.4.2) to a newer version because it fixes a bug... we use chef so whats the best way to do that via apt-get [17:37] brokenc, then use Disk Util to check the file system. you just hit the button [17:37] compdoc: yea i tried that it just says "NOT clean" [17:37] can you access your files with the livecd? [17:37] what needs to be saved? [17:38] compdoc: lol, i can access them, but i'll have to ask the user what she needs. :( [17:38] ohad_, sorry about that I was a bit busy [17:38] brokenc, dual boot is always problematic. [17:39] compdoc: though, if i just get her home folder i'm guessing that will be 99% of it [17:39] bouncysteve: any luck? [17:39] brokenc, yup [17:39] Sniffing is the answer to all of your problems ;-) [17:39] jon__, I'm still here [17:39] 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? [17:40] locsmif: no output from the first command. I'm running named -g at the moment... [17:40] bouncysteve: that's because it writes to a file in tmp [17:40] great, I still think there might be disk errors that are causing your issue ohad_ [17:40] If it writes nothing, there is no outgoing DNS traffic at all [17:41] 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] if you have your ubuntu live cd you could boot from that and in the terminal run 'fsck /dev/sd*' [17:41] I try to install ubuntu 12.04 in my computer and and fail but did not display any message [17:41] locsmif: yes, but that's because it's not aware of any DNS servers? [17:41] ohad_, if you have your ubuntu live cd you could boot from that and in the terminal run 'fsck /dev/sd*' [17:41] 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] 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] Then you read with: tcpdump -r /tmp/dump -n (add verbosity options as desired) [17:41] compdoc: thanks for your time. :) [17:41] bouncysteve: if tcpdump really showed no outbound DNS connects [17:42] bouncysteve: then config is borked [17:42] jon__, I tried doing this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480604&highlight=signatures+invalid&page=3 but still no good [17:42] 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] jon__, I do have my live CD [17:42] there is someone who can advice about get error installation for ubuntu 12.04? [17:42] maybe I'll do that [17:42] tcpdump can only listen on one interface at a time, iirc [17:42] Hi ubuntu fans... [17:43] I'm more of a critic [17:43] you mean fsck /dev/sda3 or 4 or whatever? [17:43] I need help regarding configuring OpenDNS [17:43] I need help regardins ubuntu installation errors [17:44] Hi, [17:44] !ask [17:44] 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).

I can't find it in the server list [17:47] 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...

[18:12] oh, ok [18:12] would a poor laptop battery account for failed services such as hwclock and plymouth? [18:12] Well, here we go - installing grub to /dev/cciss/c0d0 [18:12] 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] Also booted into recovery and tried "failsafex" and still wouldn't boot [18:12] brokenc: have you tried running it on A/C to see if the problems still occur [18:13] hi can someone please give me the network settings for this room [18:13] hi there!accidentally deleted init.d script.how to reinstall it?

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? [18:20] finally get to use x-chat [18:20] zaitzev: mac address correctly formed and no type-o? [18:20] Khmerog: grats ;) [18:20] ohad_, sorry could you pastebin that too. I'm trying to juggle a lot of work right now haha [18:20] Optichip: Yes, triple checked [18:21] Do Intel HD 2000 graphics use this 'Mesa' software library?

[18:21] Kircle, yes [18:21] escott Ah thanks [18:21] zaitzev: can you pastebin both your ifconfig and modification to DHCP file. [18:21] What does update-grub do to grub.cfg? I will try to make the edits manually and save with view [18:21] Vi* [18:22] gskellig: makes sure you don't mess up the cfg file ;x [18:22] =\ [18:22] Oh lol [18:22] gskellig: but if you know what you're modifying then you can just use your editor. [18:22] 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] BurritoBazooka: a little. [18:22] Optichip my problem is after grub my screen just goes black lol.. I don't really know what the problem is [18:22] gskellig: always make a backup before you edit I usually add my initials so grub.cfg.nfo etc [18:23] Just upgraded to 12.04 [18:23] I didn't edit anything [18:23] gskellig: how long are you waiting for the X screen? slower machines can take some time to load. [18:23] I do backup before editing manually [18:23] restore grub [18:23] Waited about 30 mins the first time [18:23] gskellig: what video card? [18:23] gskellig: Nvidia? [18:23] Uh depends [18:24] Nvidia G210M and Intel integrated graphics card [18:24] Optichip: "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" on separate lines [18:24] My laptop is one of those hybrid graphics cards [18:24] 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] gskellig: not sure if nomodeset applies to ubuntu but you can try to append that to your kernel line in grub.cfg [18:25] I was using bumblebee before updating ton12.04 [18:25] To* [18:25] Optichip: And of course "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback", but those aren't relevant to this issue [18:25] ok keyboard issue is fixed [18:25] How do I edit and save sysctl.conf [18:26] seanlew: with sudo [18:26] ok [18:26] sudo ???

[18:28] its noob friendly when it works. [18:28] i have followed everything i could google about the failure [18:28] zaitzev: can you pastebin the config of the dhcp at least so I can look at it? [18:28] spent a day trying stuff.. while i wasnt at work anyway [18:28] mrtaran: what issue on install? [18:29] mrtaran: sorry to make you explain it again but I haven't heard your issue yet. [18:29] i installed from a usb drive i made from windows, i wanted to install to a 40g partition. after it installed it automatically updated packages and asked me to reboot.. i rebooted and hangs [18:29] gskellig: gonna try to append nomodeset to the kernel line/ [18:29] I find my Ubuntu USB Live works on many computers but my Ubuntu install to a USB extrernal drive doesn't have any of the drivers the live version has. Can I tell my installed ubuntu to do the same kind of Hardware scanning that the live CD does? [18:30] Optichip: wish I could, I'm sitting directly on it with a keyboard, not via ssh or anything.. [18:30] after upgrade to 12.04 - my hp 1018 printer doesnt work anymore, any ideas?

[18:35] come funge? [18:35] that's not the issue tho, the static leases works with my other units. [18:35] Found the Lin [18:35] Line [18:35] blacklight: I am not 100% sure brother. :) [18:35] Where do I add it [18:36] zaitzev: how many mac addresses are mapped there though, and can the router handle another was my thought process on that. [18:36] it can handle plenty, I've had twice as many as I have at the moment. [18:36] zaitzev: ok [18:36] Hello.

[18:48] zaitzev: ok so its supposed to be "static" not "staticdhcp" [18:48] mrtaran: maybe download driver from ATI and install it from prompt [18:48] 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 [18:49] mrtaran: it'll ask you to run aticonfig --initial after install. [18:49] zaitzev: so you need to configure the server to have a static address, and not a dhcp [18:49] would someone help me install a broadcom wireless driver please [18:49] Hellom so;ebody zrite french hereM [18:49] "General error mounting file systems" [18:49] 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] Fleck: message is? [18:49] "A maintenance shell will now be started" [18:49] Is there any reason, whatsoever, to continue using 10.04 instead of upgrading to 12.04? [18:49] optichip: should i be using nomodeset? [18:49] nytebytes: just go to Hardware Drivers or Restricted Drivers or whatever it's called nowadays [18:49] gskellig: that's the shell [18:49] Areckx: it has no errors lol [18:50] optichip: i see that randomly spoken in relation to video cards [18:50] israel:: yes I was thinking the same thing hehe [18:50] im new at this thanks [18:50] Optichip http://paste.opensuse.org/92641974 [18:50] Optichip I know just thought that would be a hint [18:50] israel:: I really enjoy using 10.04 [18:50] zaitzev: what happens when you simply set it as a static? and why aren't you doing it this way? [18:50] General error mounting file systems [18:50] Areckx: so do i [18:51] 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] 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] E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2) [18:52] so what the heck is going on? I did sudo aptitude install amarok and now GNOME is gone???? [18:52] Fleck: Laserjet 1018? [18:52] yes [18:52] Ok I found someone with same setup... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923235 but no answer [18:52] and how do I remove xubuntu? [18:52] zaitzev: ok, so your not doing it on a server though? [18:52] Areckx: whatever you did was not only that [18:52] Fleck: http://old.nabble.com/Bug-663868%3A-udev%3A-laserjet1018-%28foo2zjs%29-printer-disappears-and-appears-in-loop-td33752619.html [18:52] 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] 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] I give up [18:52] optichip: sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates right? [18:53] Fleck: seems to be an issue maybe with newer kernels? see if you can find a patch fo rit. [18:53] mrtaran: you can try that yes [18:53] tyler_d: doing what? [18:53] k [18:53] jrib:: it kept having prompts and then one popped up asking if I wanted it to automatically say yes [18:53] brb [18:53] Areckx: well what did the prompts say...? [18:53] is there a command on ubuntu 12.04 server to list all users? [18:53] Optichip yes, i think so too... [18:53] KingKatari: getent passwd [18:53] jrib:: don't remember specific packages, but just asked if I wanted to install/remove packages [18:53] zaitzev: are you saying you are setting this server up to merely re-install or reboot it consistently [18:54] Areckx: well, you have to read prompts, otherwise things happen that you don't want to happen === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding [18:54] gskellig: any luck yet? [18:54] 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 [18:55] No. I think its my dual graphics cards [18:55] O.o [18:55] Hybrid graphics cards laptops were not made for Ubuntu [18:55] 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] Or any Linux for that matter haha [18:55] gskellig: I didn't know you had dual gfx cards [18:56] I said it earlier. Nvidia G210M and Intel integrated gfx card [18:56] Laptop is Asus UL30VT [18:56] zaitzev: if this is a server it should be on a static. === jmibanez00 is now known as jmibanez [18:57] 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] obviously, but that static is/can be defined in the router [18:58] gskellig: intel would be the onboard one, nvidia being the one you can plug a monitor into [18:58] I can plug a monitor in with either [18:58] Its meant to run whichever i want [18:59] but the laptop display is/should be primary until you get booted into x then you can set whatever. [18:59] <_Tristan> when updating from ubuntu server 10.10 to 12.04, how many upgrades will I need to run? [18:59] gskellig: can you disable nvidia in bios? [18:59] nope just Intel [18:59] _Tristan: 11.04-11.10-12.04 [18:59] 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... [18:59] nick jeffw [19:00] _Tristan: looks like there's a PPA for 11.10 [19:00] nick jeffw [19:00] _Tristan: so maybe you don't have to totally upgrade all the way. [19:01] <_Tristan> hopefully... [19:01] gskellig: I understand :/ === jack is now known as Guest10645 [19:01] gskellig: can you try that and see if at least it'll work with Nvidia by itself. [19:02] why is my nickname not changing? [19:02] gskellig: then maybe we can look at getting both to work. [19:02] I've tried [19:02] <_Tristan> I love an upgrade on an unmetered gigabit connection... [19:02] jeff__: /nick newnick [19:02] cause you need /nick then your name [19:02] jeff__: you need to do "/nick newnick" [19:02] jeff__: precede with / on your nick command [19:02] I had both working with bumblebee in 11.10 [19:02] that didn't change it === johnnyB is now known as johnnyb [19:02] jeff__: you missed the / [19:03] i tried it with the / and that didn't change it [19:03] gskellig: yeah cause they supported optimus :/ === johnnyb is now known as honzak [19:03] oh well, that is not my real question anyway [19:03] does anyone have any experience with RAID? [19:03] gskellig: you might be stuck there for the time being although it might be a dying/dead technolofy [19:03] tyler_d: I set it back to static, less of a headache really. However, I can't login with ssh, I did ssh-keygen -f , no difference [19:04] tyler_d: do I need to do something similar on the server as well? [19:04] My laptop actually wasn't optimus [19:04] is there a way I can generate the default grub scripts? grub-customizer pretty much broke them for me [19:04] It was manual switching [19:04] I have a button [19:04] zaitzev: you did install the openssh-server package correct? [19:04] Just before optimus [19:04] zaitzev: I'm not sure what process you are trying to use to log in... username/password? [19:05] tyler_d: You mean what I type in terminal? :p === Prior99 is now known as Prior [19:05] zaitzev: terminal... ummmm.. [19:05] !bash | zaitzev [19:05] zaitzev: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:05] !RAID [19:05] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [19:05] tyler_d: On THIS pc, I am using a terminal to ssh into the server, yes? [19:06] zaitzev: you would need a tool like putty [19:06] in Ubuntu? :PP [19:06] I am very confused as to the difference between "Software RAID" and "Fake RAID" and "LVM", which is best for a 5 hard drive server? [19:07] zaitzev: openssh-server package is installed on your "server"? [19:07] each hard drive is 1 TB, each is identical [19:07] Optichip: ofc, I ssh'ed to it like normal before I tried the whole ip/dhcp/static crap, and now it just doesn't let me access it via ssh [19:08] zaitzev: can you ping out of it [19:08] Hello, how do I get OpenDNS to update my IP with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? [19:08] Optichip: yes [19:08] Where can i find Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit? [19:08] Optichip: I ssh it, it asks for password, I type it, and get "Permission denied, please try again." [19:08] I want to print the text contents of a webpage. I can copy the text to gedit, and I see exactly what I want, but when I print or use print preview, all pages except the first are blank. How can I see the remaining pages? [19:09] I don't know why, I'm typing in the exact same password sitting at the console, no problem. [19:09] How can I tell if my server supports true hardware RAID or is just fake RAID? [19:09] zaitzev: so ssh root@server or ssh 192.168.0.100? [19:09] Never mind i found it on releases.ubuntu.com [19:09] Optichip: Is there some sort of "pairing" going on with SSH, so if I purge whatever keys or something on the server? [19:09] Optichip: I do ssh 192.168.1.100 === WHAT_LEFT is now known as cached [19:10] Demonoid under fire OccupyDemonoid ? === cached is now known as WHAT_LEFT [19:10] zaitzev: use ssh user@192.168.1.100 [19:10] zaitzev: then type in that users password [19:10] Optichip: Why, when the user here and there is the same? [19:10] I've used "ssh ip" all the time. [19:10] proxinix, what do you mean? [19:10] OccupyDemonoid: you mean how to use opendns¿ or how to use opendns with dynamic ip [19:11] zaitzev: ok, well then the only other thing would be the key pairs are messed up [19:11] zaitzev: apt-get remove openssh-server && apt-get install openssh-server [19:11] Optichip: Yeah, and I did ssh-keygen -f -R ip [19:11] sudo apt-get --reinstall [19:11] when I nmap localhost I get some ports that i know, but when I nmap from outside to my machine I get port 113 tcp auth closed, but I can't see that result from localhost, whats that? [19:12] zaitzev: I would remove the package, then reinstall and have it regen them itself. [19:12] xangua, Well, when I was a windows user, they had this program to update my dynamic ip address automatically. I was wondering if I could do that with Ubuntu as well. They don't have a package for it and cannot find anything in the help areas of their site. [19:12] Optichip: I'll try that :) [19:12] proxinix: does --reinstall regen key pairs though? [19:12] donno [19:13] --purge will take them out and all config files [19:13] zaitzev: do the --purge with it [19:13] Optichip still nothing. My BIOS is pretty limited [19:13] OccupyDemonoid: well in the same opendns website where you read the guide for windows, is a guide for linux [19:13] gskellig: fresh out of ideas for you then mate :/ [19:13] =\ thanks [19:14] xangua, really? I will check that out. Thank you. [19:14] Optichip: there we go, that worked. Thank you! =) [19:15] OccupyDemonoid: i clearly rememeber i saw it recently, but i believe that's only aviable if you have an opendns account [19:15] zaitzev: whew [19:15] zaitzev: was about to throw in the towel [19:15] zaitzev: 20 years linux experience pays off for once! lol [19:15] haha [19:16] heloooo [19:16] * Optichip goes back to finalizing his Ubuntu spin [19:16] Oops mrtaran how goes it? [19:16] not so great [19:16] mrtaran: grrr [19:17] xangua, I found it. :) I will just have to learn how to install a package named ddclient. Thank you for your help. :) [19:17] it says mounting network drive unmounting network drive [19:17] then freeze [19:17] sorry [19:17] starting network filesystems [19:17] Optichip: I'm really glad Ubuntu has such a massive community, the help is always a couple of clicks away, which is awesome for noobs like me [19:17] mrtaran: mounting network drive? [19:17] what does port 113 tcp auth for? [19:17] then stopping networking filesystems [19:18] is there anything i can get for you? [19:18] coffee maybe [19:18] - -' [19:18] mrtaran: lol :) question [19:18] Hello people, I just have finished my ubuntu 12.04 instalation and I have no sound. Where can I look for "what to do" [19:18] Optichip: how do I "kick out" logged in users, the ones listed in 'who' ? [19:18] mrtaran: when you did the installs, did you go straight to the installer or did you try first? [19:18] i wonder if theres professionals here in china that would do this for me [19:19] zaitzev: kill -9 whatever their login process is [19:19] i used a program in windows to turn my usb drive bootable with the iso image... i booted from it and said i want to install to the drive [19:19] ps aux | grep username should help [19:19] hdd [19:19] mrtaran: ok so no live mode first [19:20] well.. maybe it was live mode but i didnt click that [19:20] i was listening to the radio etc while it updated files [19:20] i had problems with the grub [19:20] i installed ubuntu with raid 0 [19:20] mrtaran: another question for you. Did you happen to verify the MD5sums on the iso? [19:20] there was a user interface although not completely available [19:20] yea it was the same === jeff_ is now known as Guest30897 [19:20] i have the /boot in another partition and i finished the install successfully but when i restarted it === Guest30897 is now known as jw [19:21] mrtaran: and did it boot into the txt based install like the part of the window I see in one of your imgur images? or did it boot into graphical mode? [19:21] the grub not load and load automatic win [19:21] 718,124kB [19:21] i use disk grub2 repair and i can launch my grub [19:22] sancas: did you check your bios to see if it's pointing to the correct SATA drive to boot from? [19:22] originally it booted into graphical user interface [19:22] with firefox running and a radio for enjoyment :P [19:22] it said it wanted to update stuff so i said ok [19:23] it downloaded packages for a long time [19:23] ok I am unable to enable ip_forward on ipv4 [19:23] mrtaran: new information ;x [19:23] any clue? [19:23] mmm Optichip i only restart the pc :s [19:23] let me check it [19:23] opti: What can i get you? === jw is now known as jeff__ [19:23] net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 [19:23] 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 === jeff__ is now known as jeff____ === jeff____ is now known as jeff_jeff [19:23] I hope, someone could help me, I googled this for days now :/ [19:24] Prior48: apt-get install pavucontrol === jeff_jeff is now known as jeffw_ [19:24] Prior48: then launch it and configure your card. === jeffw_ is now known as jeff_w [19:24] oh [19:24] okay thanx [19:24] !nickspam | jeff_w [19:24] Prior48: sure thing :) [19:24] 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.

See also « /msg ubottu Guidelines » [19:24] mrtaran: so some update and broken everything [19:25] sorry aurondance i am new to this [19:25] opti: well yea. there was a pretty interface beforehand, but i didnt update anything myself, it was automatic [19:25] mrtaran: did you set the video driver for "Additional Adapters" and reboot first? [19:25] mrtaran: or just do the updates? [19:26] mrtaran: so you were listening to radio DURING the install? [19:26] 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] opti: yes.. i was drunk in the music i admit it [19:26] mrtaran: meaning you chose the "Live" version. [19:26] opti: damn [19:26] is there someone here who can answer a RAID question? [19:26] ok i checked it Optichip and the bios not is the problem :) [19:26] mrtaran: there should be a "install" version [19:26] opti: didnt even want the live version -_- [19:26] mrtaran: there have been some installer issues with live versions [19:27] great to know [19:27] very good to know [19:27] mrtaran: one more time mate! boot the usb and select Install [19:27] what's the terminal command to kill all ? i mean process? [19:27] so i reformat the usb drive, do again [19:27] mrtaran: wait.. [19:27] mrtaran: are you installing "TO" the usb from the usb? [19:27] no wonder my 40g partition isnt touched [19:27] from the usb [19:28] i dont want to burn a dvd.. [19:28] mrtaran: so usb boot, select install [19:28] Is anyone in here familiar with PCSX2 in Ubuntu? [19:28] right now i cant [19:28] mrtaran: then pick the 40gig partition during the questions [19:28] when i boot from the usb it hangs [19:28] Optichip: this did not enhance my Quality... However, this manager doesnt seem to do anything different as the console-application "alsamixer" [19:28] 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] the weird thing is i remember selecting install and selecting the 40g partition [19:29] Prior48: it's very different then the alsa mixer [19:29] i often think of myself as making mistakes but im not that bad in real time.. hopefully i was just daydreaming [19:29] try again and just double check basically, right? [19:29] Prior48: You should be able to modify the input and output devices and drop the levels down to acceptable listening levels. [19:29] Optichip: Oh, I found it - all application audio-streams were set to 150%, setting them to 100% fixed it, thanx [19:29] mrtaran: I would reimage the USB then try to install again [19:30] Prior48: :) [19:30] Prior48: TOUCHDOWN! [19:30] k [19:30] Optichip: And how do I fix my Keyboard-shortcuts? [19:30] if it works all the way to the updating should i refuse to update? [19:30] zaitzev: yes, you can google it, there are some good guides out there. [19:31] Prior48: which ones? [19:31] mrtaran: yes just get into the x session and rest for a bit :) [19:31] Optichip: awesomesauce, I'll try that =p [19:31] mrtaran: at least 30 minutes of music after the install :) [19:31] lol [19:31] 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 [19:32] ok I have ipv4 forwarding on [19:32] Prior48: what keyboard? [19:32] Optichip: I googled it, and tried to set custom commands with the amixer command, it didn't work either [19:32] north carolina college radio was amazing [19:32] Still not able to ping gatewaty [19:32] ive been in china 13 years forgot what good music sounds like [19:32] dunno, some cheap Keyboard from my supermarket ^^ [19:32] Prior48: with volume buttons! love it [19:33] Prior48: ok let's see if we can get it done [19:33] Optichip:as i said, mediakeys themself work fine, Play/Pause etc. work, so the keyboardlayout must be fitting, mustn't it?

I am looking for a simple GUI to include in my Ubuntu VM that would allow user mainly to change IP settings.. are some lightweight things allowing this out there?

[19:46] Did you try it in Unity? [19:46] How i become gnome 2 (without unity) on ubunru 12.04? [19:46] it worked there, once, after installing gnome-classic now it isn't working anywhere [19:46] superboom: not possible [19:46] !notunity| superboom [19:46] 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 [19:47] hi all [19:47] however, other keyboard-shotcuts work fin... CTRL + ALT + T for terminal, for example === root is now known as Turgon [19:47] Prior48: that could be the issue. [19:47] hi, how can I report a bug of the calculator that comes pre-installed? [19:47] Optichip: how du I fix it? [19:47] Prior48: you didn't just logout from the unity screen and switch to Gnome classic? [19:47] no [19:47] moment [19:47] Prior48: you can switch to Gnomes by clicking on the logo circle [19:47] my ubuntu 12.04 keeps showing me the splash screen during regular boot, how can i disable it ?

It is a "logical bug" I would call it. 0^0 equals to 1, which is wrong, because it is undefined. [19:50] ok got it thx [19:50] I need help on setting up a fileserver, which needs to be connected to a web interface, and hence forth transferring files on web request, please suggest which language would be better for request handling? [19:50] mrtaran, if you do, install seems to take forever. If you don't, one of the first things you'll do after install is... download all the updates. [19:50] hm this is odd [19:50] can someone pm me ill give them root access [19:50] since i have a small problem with my server [19:51] buts it a simple method i just dont know what it is [19:51] that is a very good point [19:51] mrtaran, yes please, updates and file install work simultaneously [19:51] that was just an example as i dont think you whould have known what i wanted help with :P [19:51] so when someone is ready to help please pm or respond in the chat here thanks! :) [19:51] ch33z: just ask your question and we'll see if we can help, we don't want to be held responsible for someone's hardware/software. [19:52] Prior48: any luck? [19:52] Why can I not boot from my CD-ROM? It is first in the boot priority list in the BIOS [19:52] nope [19:52] i want to be held responsible :) [19:52] It didnt work in unity neither [19:52] ch33z: and pleasedont offer random persons root-access to your box [19:52] Prior48: oh thought you said it did before the gnome-shell install [19:52] it did! [19:53] 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] but now it isnt ;( [19:53] :_( makes me a sad Prior :( [19:53] Prior48: have you tried to remove gnome-shell and test? [19:53] hm [19:53] :/ okay, wait [19:53] it says I already have an installation and it asked me if I want to delete it and install again [19:53] mrtaran: on that 40g drive? [19:54] of course I can also click something else and tell them manually [19:54] I'm having issues with installing plugins for emacs, is there a way to tell if my .emacs file is loading? [19:54] unfortunately it doesn't tell me [19:54] Optichip:Do you think, it is an good idea, to uninstall gnome? [19:54] mrtaran: there anything else on the machine? [19:54] I am not so sure... [19:54] % cat [19:54] I would like to know if it is talking about my 40 gig drive [19:54] hello world [19:54] Prior48: just the gnome-shell you added from Software Center? [19:54] yes I have a partition free for unix but I also have a windows 7 partition [19:55] dictation is very useful in android while talking to you [19:55] hmm my BIOS does not recognize my CD-ROM drive, how can I get it to recognize the drive?

[19:55] mrtaran: go for manual, delete the 40g partition [19:56] recreate it [19:56] fidel, I think so, I burned the 12.04 Ubuntu installer onto it [19:56] mrtaran: I'm a little worried that it's not seeing your windows partition and asking you to install along side it [19:56] is there an option to "Reinstall"? [19:56] Hello [19:56] Dyszx: hi [19:57] i has problem with my backtrack u.u [19:57] Hello, on a test out of port forwarding, i'm getting the error of connection timeout. The firewall seems to be turned off. Any ideas what might cause the timeout error? [19:57] Dyszx: then #backtrack-linux is the correct channel to talk in [19:57] in fact it says the 40 gig drive is alreadyinstalled [19:57] as you said I am deleting it now [19:57] when will gimp 2.8 be available on ubuntu? [19:57] Optichip: Isn't there a way, to fix it without uninstalling it? I am happy with gnome and dont like unity.... [19:57] meisth0th: it is [19:57] without ppa, in official repositories [19:58] well my backtrack don't connect with my wireless why ? [19:58] meisth0th: ahhh nm then [19:58] Dyszx: ask in #backtrack-linux not here [19:58] meisth0th: it works fine out of PPAs though :) [19:58] coolpro, i use http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/ to check if my ports are right [19:58] i don't trust random people making package [19:58] meisth0th: I very strongly advise you not to use a gimp PPA [19:58] zorry [19:58] thnz [19:58] gimp will be available maybe after 2 weeks, maybe after 3 [19:58] maybe later [19:58] wow [19:58] captain obvious speaks [19:59] armaturinis: no it won't [19:59] meisth0th, you can build 2.8 yourself. [19:59] armaturinis: it is unlikley it will end up in the 12.04 repos [19:59] im installed 2.8 from ppa [19:59] OerHeks, as i said i don't trust random people, and hell i am random :P [19:59] meisth0th: building it takes time but it works great btw [19:59] brb [19:59] hello ?

[20:05] not sure if i created the settings wrong but yea [20:05] LunaVorax: i dont care about correct english very much but thank you [20:05] ch33z: check your httpd.conf [20:05] Stil it's not good enough iceroot [20:05] LunaVorax, you can file a bugreport, but ubuntu does not maintain that package. [20:05] kk [20:05] ch33z: you can pastebin it and have someone review it [20:06] OerHeks, not really, I would prefer use an alternative supported software [20:06] ok [20:06] ch33z: cat httpd.conf > pastebinit [20:06] Still not able to get out of Ubuntu box [20:06] But VoIP on Linux seems to be doomed to use proprietary softwares. Not a good thing. [20:06] I can get a DHCP address if set to DHCP [20:06] seanlew: did the route add correctly? [20:06] LunaVorax: astrix [20:06] it wont stay taht way [20:07] LunaVorax, you can use any same voip client on both, 'doz' and *nix [20:07] can you give it to me again [20:07] I reboot and it goes back [20:07] weird [20:07] !voip [20:07] 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.

[20:07] Optichip the httpd.conf seems to be empty [20:07] and then you could to connect with one your account [20:07] but it shows all the websites on a live browser [20:07] armaturinis, no, Pidgin for example doesn't support Voice chat on Windows [20:07] ch33z how do you configure sites? [20:08] ikonia, if you have a link for that mystrerious software you're talking about. [20:08] i had someone in the chat here configure it [20:08] ch33z: do you use webmin or something? [20:08] nope no webmin [20:08] Optichip, I don't think I made a mistake last time。。。it looks the same this time [20:08] LunaVorax: have a google for asterix VOIP [20:08] I have access to the radio and firefox [20:08] its linux ubuntu server [20:08] mrtaran: ah ok [20:08] this time I will not use them [20:09] mrtaran: lol [20:09] Ah, Asterisk, not "astrix" ikonia [20:09] Optichip i can pastebin it again though if you so desire [20:09] Opti can you give me the route again [20:09] ch33z: if it's empty not sure what someone did for you [20:09] hmm yea im not sure [20:09] I will let it automatically download the packages correct ? [20:10] seanlew: you can try to set up static from shell [20:10] mrtaran: yes [20:10] Optichip its / etc / apache2 / httpd.conf [20:10] correct file right? [20:10] ch33z: should be, and are you running vhosts? [20:10] ch33z: do you have vhost files or are they all in one file? [20:10] ok, i'm finishing beer and good night to all :)) GL [20:10] Optichip yup i have vhosts [20:11] ch33z: files that is... [20:11] indeed sir [20:11] ch33z: so you should have a single vhost file for that host, can you pastebin it? [20:11] I will keep you updated thanks again [20:11] sure hld on [20:11] mrtaran: oksir [20:11] for some reason i manage to set up an adhoc on ubuntu for a single minut and then it shuts itself down [20:11] any idea why?\ [20:11] using the networking gui [20:12] gener1c: does it have anything to connect to? [20:12] Optichip where would the vhost file be at? just curious and all [20:12] i have an internet connection on eth0 [20:12] and the adhoc on wlan0 [20:12] 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] gener1c: adhock is point to point, has to have something to connect to. [20:13] im connecting as a client from my cell... [20:13] got it [20:13] It's an upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 [20:13] wad: i would check if you can login via ssh to get abetter impression what it is doing right now [20:13] fidel: okay [20:13] wad: ALT+F2 and see if you get a login [20:14] Optichip, we tried that, nothing. [20:14] The keyboard is not accepting input. [20:14] We're trying to ssh into it now. [20:14] wad: D6 series? [20:14] Hey Opti did you repost it? [20:14] Dell Latitude E6410 [20:14] Optichip this is odd [20:14] Optichip: might need ctrl+alt+f2 (assuming they are in Xorg) [20:14] ok the phone has to be adhoc aswell i assume [20:14] all three of these work [20:14] http://shadyapps.com/ [20:15] seanlew I didn't sorry route add -net default gw 10.0.0.1 eth0 [20:15] http://sirjeffx.com/ [20:15] http://www.martinmonica.com/ === help is now known as Guest40315 [20:15] OptiChip thats odd eh?

[20:19] ch33z: ok. I had my doubts when reading your posts [20:19] lspci [20:19] im having problems getting a dhcp request on a wired connection. dhcp server is working, the cable is working. I believe it's on the linux computer i'm on. ubuntu 12.04 LTS [20:19] gener1c: never used that option myself, would think it'd have to have DHCP configured to give to clients. [20:19] PW-toXic: yes [20:20] hey [20:20] schultza: what happens when you run dhcpcd or dhclient [20:20] gener1c: and routing [20:20] mrtaran: ? [20:20] mrtaran: are you loaded? [20:20] I went offline by accident [20:20] dhclient nothing... no errors... just next command prompt [20:20] mrtaran: oh [20:21] of course, im already connected on wireless [20:21] it did not finish downloading completely。。is there an easy way to reinstallpackages？ [20:21] schultza: tried "sudo dhclient eth0"?

My friend uses Ubuntu from a few days and wants to make cam from HP pressario CQ56 working with Skype. It works in web browser but not in Skype.

[20:22] mrtaran: you can go with xorg drivers or upgrade to proprietary later. [20:23] it gives me the option to install ubuntu [20:23] should I do that again？ [20:23] mrtaran: did the whole machine shutdown? [20:23] mrtaran: thought you were in the process of loading?

[20:28] nothing really, it boots into unity and everything seems to be working fine, just mouse and keyboard dont work for a minute [20:28] I restarted my computer it's beautiful [20:28] mrtaran: :) [20:28] ScorchedMuffin: disable modules and etc and start readding. also watch vmstat etc.... [20:28] mrtaran: nice [20:28] mrtaran: ok now, 30 minutes of music sir, you've earned [20:28] lolll [20:29] hld on im rebooting [20:29] I should update the packages again [20:29] right? [20:29] ScorchedMuffin: i assume you are using evdev? [20:29] no idea [20:29] I'm scared of them os already arr [20:30] mrtaran: you should take a break and relax, that was pretty stressful. [20:30] * Optichip fired up Clementine to listen to some music himself. [20:31] * Optichip wonders if he'll meet a 1/2 chinese 1/2 american boy in 15 years named Optichip O.o [20:31] Optichip: mrtaran whats wrong with updates? if it breaks something usually its fixable if not submit a bug report so others dont have to experience it [20:32] celthunder: Yes, she set. And when she press Test she see herself. And I wonder if it's not problem with my Skype. ^^ [20:32] The Live CD runs a hardware scanning process that works on many computers. can you get the same thing for a full install of Ubuntu? [20:32] celthunder: he has been fighting with a driver issue for days, I just got him working in 12.04, he should saver it a moment before jumping back in. :) [20:32] sukima: yes [20:32] I have a question: when I'm downloading a torrent, I see a process called "ping" running continuously. What is it and what's the purpose of it? Is it safe to have it running? [20:32] Optichip: open or closed driver...though either are irritating as hell [20:33] sukima: its done by the kernel itself [20:33] I am still unable to get to network from Ubuntu 12.4 on Hyper-V I can get a DHCP address [20:33] celthunder: true, been there many times myself. [20:33] Floyd42: ping is safe but it has nothing at all to do with torrenting [20:33] Anyone know anything about irc usernames :? [20:33] guest101: #freenode [20:33] guest101: what about it [20:33] lol [20:33] celthunder: hmm. thing is, it starts when i start a torrent download and stops when i quit. [20:33] seanlew: HyperV? I didn't see you mention anything about that [20:34] Floyd42: torrent client? [20:34] I put it in a link when I said this is my setup same issue as this guy [20:34] 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] seanlew: how have you configured the network adapater in HyperV? [20:34] been trying to log on using my username all night, but it just keeps telling me "usernames already in use" [20:34] celthunder: Tixati p2p client [20:34] Yes.. I did all the HV statments [20:34] seanlew: ok [20:34] seanlew: can you post the link for me? [20:35] 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] 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] Floyd42: either way...you should not be pinging every time you run your torrent client [20:35] dose someone know a program that can record a movie made with my webcam? [20:35] celthunder: yeah, pretty sure ping isn't running as root. but it's extremely strange. [20:36] iceroot: Seems mine doesn't. I did an install to a USB external. it has to download drivers and install everytime I move from one computer to another but a Live CD just works [20:36] han gon [20:36] unkn-error: ffmpeg [20:36] ffmpeg it is a codec [20:36] unkn-error: and a program [20:36] unkn-error: ?

But, when not in nautilus its fine. [20:49] midnightmagic: mrtg or something that uses it. [20:50] ch33z: sounds like your system is very unstable. [20:50] OptiChip what should I do? [20:50] Optichip: ok! [20:50] ch33z: I would backup everything and reload myself. I don't know know your skill level though [20:51] reload as redo all over again? [20:51] ...? [20:51] I am a super newbie to ubuntu web servers [20:51] ch33z: that's what I would do, as for you, if this is something you can't handle or don't wish to tackle, i would see if I could get support from someone. [20:51] ch33z: whats the problem? [20:52] ch33z: what happens when you do "sudo apt-get update" [20:52] nautilus seems to be corrupted popey [20:52] ah ill try that hld on [20:52] alan he's having lots of different issues, vhost not working, nautils errors etc. [20:52] I actually updated this recently and not sure if that maybe caused the error [20:52] vhosts seems to work [20:52] oh it's working again? [20:52] yup, just dont know where to add other new sites [20:53] 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] ch33z: ahh well there are some great tutorials for adding vhosts to apache2 [20:53] popey the sudo apt-get update works fine [20:54] ch33z: ok, so what do you want to do next? [20:54] well it seems corrupted to me because when I type "sudo nautilus [20:54] ch33z: i.e. what's the goal? [20:54] it runs and has an error [20:54] dont type sudo nautilus [20:54] my goal is add these tw new sites [20:54] thats something you shouldn't be doing [20:54] use gksudo nautilus if you absolutely must have a file manager running as root [20:54] oh I didn't know you were doing THAT ;x [20:55] nice catch popey [20:55] ah cool === greg__ is now known as gregunderscorem [20:58] anybody used xubuntu? is it stable for everyday using? what disadvantages it has? [20:59] andser: Yes, it is stable (not verryy stil lbetter than ubuntu, in my opinion). Disadvantages is that you wont get the Unity experience. [20:59] andser: i do and i recommend it to my friends fleeing from unity and gnome 3 [21:00] andser: it had a few quirks but nothing major [21:00] has * [21:01] hey. how do I disable the automatic hiding of entries in globalmenu? === guest101 is now known as register [21:02] Can I do anything, just installed ubuntu on Virtualbox - first login - it says my password is wrong :/ [21:02] do I really need to reinstall? [21:02] how can it be typed wrong twice :o === register is now known as Guest3674 === Guest3674 is now known as guest101 [21:03] Jacta: Type is very slowly, then install Virtualbox tools ASAP when you log in and reboot. [21:03] seems to work Fishscene :) [21:03] Keyboard emulation on Virtualbox without VBox tools is goofy. [21:03] Oasa, Unity is too restrictive in functionality and very very buggy :( [21:04] Jacta: Also, if your CPU is being taxed, you'll run into the same problem. Like a key got stuck and it types it infinitelyyyyyyyyyyyyy <--- example [21:04] Fishscene virtualbox tools? [21:04] andser: Yup, it is. Who is stopping you? try xubuntu. :) [21:04] Jacta: I've forgotten what the *actual* name is. But it's somewhere in the Virtualbox menu... something about installing guest tools or something [21:04] andser: I just said the disadvantage against ubuntu.

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] !hi [21:10] say my name again i think i got it [21:10] Fishscene smart :) [21:10] Did they remove the ability to 'dodge' windows with the unity panel in 12.04? im only getting 'autohide' and 'never' in 'hide launcher' options [21:11] Jacta: I have a fair amount of experience :P [21:11] whats the GUI program that adds users?

[21:21] Hi - I'm after some vaguely Ubuntu related advice. I have access to a number of machines at home and at work - they're either Ubuntu or OS X. Over the last few years I've had loads of machines. The problem I have is I've now got loads of SSH keys. Some servers have got keys on them for machines I no longer have. How do I correctly manage my SSH key and pub key? Can I just copy them between machines or is that a security risk [21:21] hi all; with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my laptop T520 (HD3000 graphic card), i have a black screen after login. this error is when i have dual screen (with only one screen the error not occurs). Before the ubuntu updates the dualscreen worked ... someone can help me please ? [21:24] stetho, i have just one ssh keypair [21:24] i put the public one on pretty much every machine i can [21:24] and i keep the private one on machines i personally own and physically keep [21:25] stetho, i have another keypair i use for work [21:25] ozzloy: That's what I want to do. I can't find a reason why I can't but I wanted to get a second (third, fourth…) opinion [21:25] private and public are on a bunch of work computers [21:25] hey guys, I have a question [21:25] i'm not a huge security guy [21:25] stetho, so don't hold my anecdote highly [21:26] stetho, but with that said, it's been much easier to do it this way [21:26] !ask > home [21:26] home, please see my private message [21:26] ozzloy: no, that's pretty standard [21:27] beandog, good to know [21:27] how can i redefine Dual screen default parameters please ? (the dual screen work on invite session, but not on my personal session) [21:27] stetho, also i have a passphrase on both pairs [21:27] !googledorks [21:28] I've installed Ubuntu 12.04LTS on Wubi. I've installed the default AMD/ATI drivers, but they were actually slower than the open source ones. I wanted to know if I can make youtube videos and the operating system itself run smoother. Because it does run nicely on Windows.- But I hate Windows so freaking bad! [21:28] ozzloy: I'm not that lazy ;:-) [21:28] stetho, but ubuntu sets it up (using ssh-agent, i think) so i only have to enter them once per session [21:29] hi, can anyone help me debug dovecot [21:29] its not being started === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ [21:30] How do I make Ubuntu run decently on a ATI 4500m series?

[21:30] ozzloy: did it mount it? [21:31] stetho: that's normal [21:31] can someone take their time and private message me? [21:31] just keep your private keys safe [21:31] beandog, it did not mount it [21:31] oh [21:31] maybe it did [21:31] :) [21:31] beandog: That's the next challenge [21:31] Fishscene cant get in now - guess password is fucked up in installer [21:31] beandog, no it didn't [21:31] stetho: hows that [21:31] ozzloy: what's /etc/exports say on the server [21:32] how do i see if /dev/sda1 is already mounted?

NFS has nothing to do with it [21:33] i thought that would be /dev/sda1 [21:33] heh, i thought that was weird too [21:33] ozzloy: its ext2, I doubt that's your root drive. That's gonna be /boot [21:33] ozzloy: is your box raided? [21:34] beandog, good question. a little more detail: i'm dealing with this machine over vpn. i don't actually have access to it physically. i'll ask if it's raided [21:35] ozzloy: from its UUID it certainly looks that way [21:35] Jacta... That's odd... [21:36] you can tell from uuid? [21:36] TYPE="ddf_raid_member" [21:36] er, TYPE === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ [21:36] whatever. [21:36] Fishscene have to start all over?

[21:38] idk how to mount raid [21:38] to the internet!

[21:50] beliveyourdream, yes check out cairo-dock in ubuntu software center [21:50] beliveyourdream, Docky is also a good choice as well for such purpose [21:50] beliveyourdream: nope [21:50] alusion: it is a nee format that comes with html5 [21:50] alusion: webm is html5 compliant video. matroska + audio + video [21:50] alusion: all oss [21:51] alusion: http://www.webmproject.org/ === droptone_ is now known as droptone [21:51] Interesting I am currently testing html5, perhaps some correlation there with my frequent crashing?.. [21:51] beandog: there is no such thing as an html5-complaint video format, it's just a streaming friendly format [21:52] 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.

All I'm getting is a desktop with no icons/popups/file menu [21:52] Anyone having idea about implementing SFTP in Python...I tried Libraries of: Pysftp, chilkat and also paramiko which is better ? [21:52] how do i tell whether the program pry is installed on my ubuntu system? [21:53] 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] davids: That's a question better suited for #python [21:54] stanigator: #python [21:54] 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: this is a python question? [21:54] Under SEH Team [21:54] violinappren: this is a python question? or shall i use python? [21:54] iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --syn -m limit --limit 1/s -j ACCEPT === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ [21:55] xomp: to show all connections to the box: use: sudo netstat -pant [21:55] xomp: but DDoS is usually initiated from a lot of IP addresses [21:56] I'm almost certain this attack is from a single address [21:56] stanigator: sorry, it was meant for davids [21:56] since the traffic comming in isn't that impressive, like a home connection maybe a script kiddie using slow loris or something [21:56] 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) [21:57] xomp: then use netstat and then use ufw to block it [21:57] thanks violinappren [21:58] stanigator: to see if a package is installed: apt-cache policy packagename [21:58] 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] I really need some help getting Ubuntu working properly on my laptop. I am completely new to Linux and just installed today. [21:59] Am I missing something? I can't seem to find anything on changing the system sounds (theme) google shows nothings as well! [21:59] 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] Only info I found is logon sound [21:59] tmg, thanks, I fixed it. Stupid syslog wasen't running and took everything down [22:00] !details | Oreck [22:00] 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] jeeves_moss: :) and do you know why syslog wasnt up? [22:01] 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] 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. [22:02] @Oreck seems there is a prblem with your environment [22:03] You mean a problem with the computer itself? [22:03] @Oreck no, with the desktop environment, Unity or Gnome shell if you use that [22:05] i am having trouble with ndiswrapper. [22:05] @Oreck if you havent been able to do anything then try reinstalling n see if the problem persists [22:05] 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. [22:06] @mrfre what error does it show? [22:08] If the problem persists, should I try a different desktop environment? [22:08] Is that feasible? [22:08] 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] @Oreck if its default, its Unity [22:09] @Oreck unity shouldnt have any problems per se [22:09] tmg, it dies EVERY time I do an upgrade. There is over 100Gb free on the drive it lives on [22:09] Oreck: logout, select "Ubuntu 2D" next to the field where you enter your password and login [22:09] !tab: pawanthegunner [22:09] !tab | pawanthegunner [22:09] pawanthegunner: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

I'm trying to get Exchange installed and migrate off of this single v-host box into a proper VM cluster for scaleability [22:11] what package do I remove to get my youtube videos to stop showing blue? === VGoff_afk is now known as VGoff [22:12] violinappren i second you wrt Oreck [22:13] Oreck try Unity(Ubuntu) 2D option [22:14] tmg, I know I will. don't worry. I'm still trying to find a good/stable version that will run on an ARM CPU. Something small, embedded, etc. then I can deploy them at my client's locations [22:14] hi Travis-42 [22:15] hi tdowg1 [22:15] jefforpi, ? [22:15] lol? [22:15] O_O [22:15] such an active room! :D [22:16] it is generally, maybe you're just getting /ignored [22:16] i wasn't being sarcastic.. [22:16] Travis-42: he just wrote to me, i answered one of his questions in notice and he is talking to me here still [22:16] who is "he"? [22:17] jeeves_moss: you! :) [22:17] okay then [22:17] man these ppl need better internet connections, ping timout galore. [22:18] lol. if I could find a mini tower/case that'd hold those micro-ITX boxes with 2 2.5" HDDs in it, I'd be set. those are powerful enough to run a SBS server [22:18] jeeves_moss: but you should use priv chat when you find right person, you know... [22:18] tmg, true. Thanks again for your help [22:18] any good ssh clients for ubuntu [22:18] lol........terminal? [22:19] LOL [22:19] just ssh in terminal [22:19] you can still get putty if you're so ms win fan [22:19] how about tunneling though? [22:19] 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! [22:20] night_shades, the built in ssh tools will do all that [22:20] ok [22:20] ssh should be a tunnel in itself, shouldn't it? [22:20] night_shades: and ssh-agent is useful for key management [22:21] mcphail: and is evil [22:21] night_shades: and the nautilus file manager will give you drag-and-drop sftp [22:21] tmg: that's true to some extent [22:22] anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot sound not working anymore? [22:23] Hi all, can anyone point me to tools used when trying to repair xwindows environment after upgrading to 12.04 messed everything up? [22:23] I've got a live cd in now, but don't really know what to do from here [22:23] 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] 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] just put the live cd insystem trya and restart you comp. [22:24] right i did that [22:24] but should I actually resinstall from the cd? or will I lose everything in ~? [22:24] now yo ned to selct the option you need to do. [22:24] well i will giv eyo option to choose to install with windows or delete every thing. [22:25] with windows? my computer never had windows on it [22:25] choose to install with with windows [22:25] ok [22:25] wht do you have on your comp [22:25] i had ubuntu 11.x [22:26] upgraded to 12.04 and all hell broke loose [22:26] tmg: the security implications aren't valid for most situations [22:26] oh ok you you can directly update from website [22:27] hm ok [22:27] so you did update from website? [22:28] jeffmjack: what errors do you get? [22:28] trying to now [22:28] if you have already a ubuntu on you system you can just update it from update mannager [22:28] do this while live cd is in? [22:28] the desktop is totally blank [22:28] hello [22:28] but it comes up to a desktop? [22:28] at first, i was getting rainbow after splash screen at startup [22:28] fixed the [22:28] yeah [22:28] does come up to a desktop [22:29] can you run anything? [22:29] but whatever app it is that makes the popups & file menus is gone [22:29] 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] well, my shortcut to terminal still works [22:30] I'm sure if i was more facile with the desktop env i could make stuff work [22:30] jeffmjack: move the pointer HARD to the left and keep moving [22:30] what desktop enviroment did you have before? [22:30] hey room === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [22:30] unity, gnome etc? [22:30] dunno, whatever ships with ubuntu [22:30] so unity [22:30] yeah [22:30] i think so [22:30] try to run unity from the terminal [22:31] and see what errors you get [22:31] ok [22:31] jeffmjack: are you using a laptop with a trackpad or are you using a mouse? [22:31] holdon, rebooting without live cd [22:31] trackpad [22:31] Hello . Sorry but i Dont like Unity [22:31] and the mouse works [22:32] can anybody help me with this [22:32] if you reboot from live cd you might loose you previous data on the system [22:32] 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] I am new to this room [22:32] even i dont like unity [22:32] hi [22:32] mcphail: i think unity is broken- mouse doesn't make tray pop up [22:32] hi shashi [22:33] i like xubuntu [22:33] hi ms [22:33] what's a good alternative to unity? [22:33] really [22:33] xubuntu [22:33] there are several [22:33] its so easy to personalise [22:33] what advantages do u get over ubuntu [22:33] !test [22:33] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [22:34] well you dont have left side dock wich i hate most [22:34] !notunity | jeffmjack [22:34] 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] I think u can remove it [22:34] jeffmjack: does unity appear if you hold down the "windows" key? [22:34] you can? [22:34] how? [22:35] mcphail: no [22:35] but it does start to run from terminal [22:35] then hangs up on flip_down_edge [22:35] (setting update "filp_down_edge" [22:35] well jeff if your up for a little adventure we could try installing a new desktop [22:36] sounds good to me [22:36] jeffmjack: had you modified the unity interface with compiz-settings on your previous install? [22:36] as long as we don't delete all my stuff, I don't care [22:36] install gnome-session-fallback, [22:36] hmmmmm [22:36] maybe [22:37] i put some patch in that made the bar popup on the bottom of the screen instead of the left [22:37] and it wasn't a trivial job, felt like i was moving some weird stuff around under the hood to do that [22:37] jeffmjack: that might be breaking things. Can you undo it? [22:37] oof [22:37] not sure [22:37] 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] i don't even remember what the name of that patch was or where it came from... [22:38] well i am not sure if we can remove left side pannel. [22:38] you can.... at least on 11.x [22:38] but we can install cairo dock at the bottom. [22:38] if you want to try xubuntu the run this command [22:38] sudo apt-get update [22:38] but apparently it might break on update ;) [22:38] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [22:39] jeffmjack: ;) [22:39] how can i get the cd size ubuntu 12.04 === wagle_ is now known as wagle [22:40] then reboot and choose xubuntu on login [22:40] msquarme: go to the website [22:40] jeffmjack: one painful lesson I've learned from Ubuntu over the years is to do a new install rather than upgrade if I've made signifcant unsupported tweaks to the UI [22:40] 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] bpcomp: trying it [22:41] mcphail: interesting [22:41] yeah I'm still pretty new to it [22:41] I said the cd size [22:41] does doing a new install reformat the hard drive? [22:41] I have to agree with mcphail [22:41] easy answer is yes [22:42] complicated answer is it doesn't have to [22:42] msquarme: 718,124 KB [22:42] jeffmjack: if you don't reformat the hard drive all of your broken unsupported tweaks will still be there ;) [22:42] thaks jeffer [22:42] @thanks [22:43] in a broken or working state? [22:43] msquarme: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ [22:43] msq: mp [22:43] np [22:43] jeffmjack: broken of course! [22:43] somehow i expected you to say that [22:44] so I've got a question about sound [22:44] I had it working but somehow I've broken it [22:44] 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 [22:45] yeah makes sense [22:45] my intel based sound card was working [22:45] it shows up in alsamixer [22:46] but it won't show up in pulse [22:46] and I can't get any sound out of it anymore [22:46] yeah i have no idea how I did that... i was just pissed off one night. it's a horrible design decision to make a popup tray on the same side of the screen that the 'close window' button lands on with expanded windows [22:46] How to increase camera resolution? [22:48] hello, does someone knows how to use the "script" utility ? man is not very talkative [22:48] !notunity [22:48] 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 [22:48] 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. [22:49] DX099: you basically just type: script; do your work and then exit out, the output will be in a file called typescript [22:49] _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] trism, thanks I was trying to use "-c" option and didn't get how I should put it [22:50] mcphail: agreed [22:50] hello [22:50] Any reason why my graphics driver will not work when I live boot to usb? [22:50] please help me [22:50] DX099: seems you just quote your command: script -c 'ls -l' [22:51] the (modded) popup on the bottom was annoying for me, too. everytime i tried to click on something downloaded from chrome, it would get in the way [22:51] i bought a Wifi Usb dongle at thinkPenguing?com [22:51] hey, does anyone know how to modify mimetypes? [22:51] i wanted to used it on my ubuntu 12.04 nettop to make a wifi hotspot [22:51] but i found it doesn't work [22:51] jeffmjack: I have to say I couldn't stand unity and tried a bunch of alternatives [22:51] heh [22:51] what'd you land on? [22:51] it can list network but i can't connect any of them neither create a hotspot connectio [22:52] I am now on cinnamon [22:52] bpcomp: i'm on Razor-Qt [22:52] hm [22:52] I am having serious issues installing Ubuntu 12.04 on my system which has UEFI.

[23:06] Jordan_U: uhm...how do I use that_ [23:07] TheBootroo: i don't know what the "d-i nic-usb-modules udeb" is... [23:07] oh my [23:07] mcphail: me neither [23:07] so, i must confess, i was annoyed and got kind of reckless with sudo apt-get remove [23:07] i did sudo apt-get remove unity* [23:07] !info nic-usb-modules [23:07] Package nic-usb-modules does not exist in precise [23:07] im trying to use simba and i get a program error and it says"the program simba.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close "(caused by wine... what do i do? [23:07] then sudo apt-get update i think [23:08] oops [23:08] then sudo apt-get install xubuntu* [23:08] now my computer hangs up on 'checking battery state' at startup [23:08] mcphail: should i try to install this http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8187B ? [23:08] 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 [23:09] 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] 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] Can I set an environment variable for all shells, or only a specific shell [23:09] TheBootroo: installing vendor-supplied drivers is always a nightmare [23:09] I want to change my $PATH [23:09] mcphail: i'm going to lose virtually 3 weeks of work because of that [23:09] Anyone know if its possible to only show the base program and not the absolute path under the Command column of htop [23:10] mcphail: can i revert to an older kernel or something ? [23:10] TheBootroo: i feel your frustration. Can you run 11.10 in the meantime and then upgrade after the point release? [23:11] TheBootroo: was this box upgraded from 11.10 or a fresh install? [23:11] mangdood_, /etc/profile or ~/.profile (and then source it in your bashrc) [23:11] Jordan_U: I use a USB stick to install... [23:11] mcphail: fresh install, the computer was unused and running an old 10.10 [23:11] i'm building an home server from it [23:12] with apache2, ftp, ssh, and wifi hotspot [23:12] shazzr: Are you having any problems booting from said USB? [23:12] for website dev, testing, connection sharing (i have only one... for 3 devices) [23:14] Jordan_U: No. [23:14] Hey all [23:14] TheBootroo: i don't think there is going to be an easy answer. But from personal experience I suggest you stay away from vendor supplied drivers and ppas [23:14] I have a quick question [23:14] Jordan_U: Using it right now. [23:14] shazzr: Then you should be able to simply install normally. Are you having any problems with installing or anything else? === onryo is now known as Polaris [23:15] any users from texas [23:15] I'm trying to share a folder on my desktop with my laptop, my laptop is running ubuntu 12.04 and my desktop is running ubuntu 11 I've already set the folder i want to share but when I try to access it says unable to mount [23:15] how are you shareing the folder? [23:15] Was wondering why the users panel disappeared in x-chat? [23:15] i just right click the folder and set it to be shared [23:16] same user on both computers? [23:16] I am NOT using the gnome version of X-Chat. [23:16] Polaris, I'm not really sure why it isn't letting me mount it tho i figured it was pretty straight forward [23:16] mcphail: why is there no nic-usb-modules package in precise when there was one from hardy to oneiric ? [23:16] Jordan_U: The install works fine. I think it is an issue with the bootloader, because when I reboot it gives med a command line and "file not found". [23:16] no [23:16] bpcomp, no [23:17] !bootinfo | shazzr [23:17] shazzr: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [23:17] TheBootroo: no idea i'm afraid [23:17] st3el you you had this same problem? It worked just a week ago.. [23:17] Polaris, no I tried to get it to work last week but I never really figured it out [23:17] Has anybody figured it out here? [23:18] st3el can I assume this is two computers running linux [23:18] Polaris, no I was really just asking how before [23:18] now that i've tried to set this in motion it isn't letting me mount [23:18] bpcomp, yes both are running Ubuntu [23:18] its not just Ubuntu. Same with Debian [23:18] feel like some command line action? [23:18] bpcomp, my laptop is running 12.04 and my desktop is running 11 [23:19] mcphail: what is the exact release date fr 12.04.1 ? [23:19] bpcomp, the laptop is the one that I'm trying to share the folder with [23:20] TheBootroo, 07-19 [23:20] TheBootroo: no idea. I'm just a passenger not a driver [23:20] how can i tell nautilus to open video files with mplayer? [23:20] the exact message I'm getting is "unable to mont location, failed to mount windows share [23:20] Muphrid: oh my [23:20] i'm not gonna wait 3 months before using my wifi dongle [23:21] also im not sure if it matters but the hard drive I'm trying to share isn't running linux its just an old hd i threw into my desktop [23:21] what format? [23:21] ntfs [23:21] is it in /media/something? [23:22] no it is a separate drive [23:22] is it mounted in the media folder? [23:22] bpcomp, uhm let me walk over and look at it real qucik [23:24] bpcomp, its under devices. I'm going to try to transfer it into my media folder and see if that works [23:24] No no [23:24] don't try that [23:24] k [23:24] ubottu: http://pastebin.com/zTJKjcsS [23:26] i need to allow another user to copy files to another users directory?? [23:26] I'm looking for a high quality audio player that will play though a folder (if I open one file, it will automatically realize that I'd like it to play though the rest of them sequentially). Any ideas? Currently using audacious and I like it, but can't figure out how to make it behave this way [23:27] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/zTJKjcsS [23:29] I have a laptop with broadcom wifi. I used the additional drivers tool to install the bcm driver for it. I st ill can't see my wireless card when I click on the network manager applet. Any ideas? [23:29] Hi, I am getting "failed to receive ConfigureNotify event" when I try to perform unity --reset. I currently have no top panel or side launcher [23:30] shazzr: OK, it looks like you're using FakeRAID and there is some information in that output which is either wrong because the FakeRAID confused boot info script or because there is something wrong with your Ubuntu installation. [23:30] shazzr: Do you know what FakeRAID is? [23:31] Jordan_U: No. === Polaris is now known as onryo [23:32] Hi for all [23:32] :) [23:33] rockets: is the wifi enabled in the bios/switched on [23:33] mcphail: yep. its working just fine in winders. [23:33] my god [23:33] this thing keeps hanging up at start on checking battery state, and i can't get to grub [23:33] hey all what is the easiet way to chmod all subfolders with a folder with the name tmp? === local_ is now known as kruckss [23:34] I've tried shift and esc to no avail [23:34] Hi guys, I need help with the Unity theme installation [23:34] * ZenMaster has Hardware Raid. [23:35] But I have a nice little server to play with with proper hardware. :D [23:35] crash1hd, find -exec [23:35] You see, I copied the theme to /usr/share/themes, but nothing seems to come up when I go to settings. [23:36] 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] why is jde (emacs java extention) package not available for ubuntu? o.O [23:36] escott, so like this? find . -type d -name 'tmp' -exec chmod 644 {} \; [23:36] crash1hd, sure [23:36] escott, is there an easier way? [23:37] crash1hd, no [23:37] That is, System Settings -> Appearance still only shows [23:37] escott, ok I though maybe chmod had a way [23:37] 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] The usual 4 themes. [23:37] shazzr: Did you know that you were using RAID at all> [23:37] ? [23:37] crash1hd: chmod can recurse through all subfolders but not selectively as far as i know [23:38] Even though I added themes to /usr/share/themes. It even had Unity subfolder [23:39] screen goes dark automatically I need ctrl+f6, ctrl+f7 to get it back [23:39] how do I stop that? [23:40] I checked screensaver and power management options [23:40] OK, I'm running 12.10 and trying to use dvgrab to snag video. The controls work, and I got it to pull video earlier, shut down before I left for a while, and now I can't capture video anymore. It's a 3-port PCI card with the TSB43AB23 chipset and I get this from dmesg: firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc0 [23:41] any idea? http://pastebin.com/kRqGnGhB [23:41] jeffmjack: Does it look like the "checking battery state" is coming from your BIOS or from Ubuntu? [23:41] hi, I installed ubuntu server in a domU and lspci shows my NIC as 00:04.0 82579LM Gigabit Intel ... ( I did a hardware passthrough) it is connected by ethernet cable to a dhcp server, but wont take an IP address, how can I find out, what is going wrong? [23:42] Can I talk? Test. [23:42] mcphail, escott thanks [23:43] Anyway, anyone have any idea why I can't change themes in Unity or Gnome Shell? [23:44] fwiss: install gnome-tweak-tool, the themes in Appearance are hardcoded in 11.10-12.04 [23:44] Thank you, trism [23:44] i7c i see known bugs > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jde/+bugs [23:45] meh. [23:46] hello [23:46] Salutations [23:46] is there an application that allows you to embed two apps in one window in linux ? ... ? [23:46] Agiofws, what does that mean? two apps in one window? [23:46] OK, I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 and trying to use dvgrab to snag video. The controls work, and I got it to pull video earlier, shut down before I left for a while, and now I can't capture video anymore. It's a 3-port PCI card with the TSB43AB23 chipset and I get this from dmesg: firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc0 [23:46] so need point in right direction Connecting two labtops both running ubuntu [23:47] Agiofws: xnest [23:47] OerHeks: i see. thx [23:48] I have this old camcorder, need to pull video before tomorrow afternoon. Firewire is my only option, really, and doing searches turns up stuff that's at least two years old that all say "use the old Firewire drivers" [23:48] lovely advice that's not terribly useful in 2012 [23:48] Even in recovery mode, I cannot fix my encrypted home drive 'cant login' issue. I've removed all the files described when 'ecryptfs-setup-private --undo' is run, yet I still cannot log in. My server seems bricked! [23:51] earlier today, I pulled the card, put it in a different PCI slot, and it went from "not working" to "working", so I'm assuming it's some sort of hardware conflict...anyone else got a PCI Firewire card with a Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller? [23:52] on the old drivers, I never had this problem...but then, on the old drivers, I was using an older PC :-> [23:54] so need point in right direction Connecting two labtops both running ubuntu [23:54] and it's the darnedest thing. I can run dvgrab -rewind, the camera rewinds, starts playing, dvgrab says "Waiting for DV..." and nothing. [23:54] tanin: it's always good to be more specific. [23:55] well...this is fun. [23:55] so need point in right direction Connecting two labtops both running ubuntu one 12.04 one 10.04 via ethernet [23:56] 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] tanin: what sort of connection do you need? [23:56] tanin: get a crossover cable, or plug 'em both into an ethernet switch. Viola. [23:57] i have network enablers [23:57] 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 [23:58] so I can't even get root access to the server to fix it :( [23:58] regeya: I can see the purpose for the crossover cable, but the musical instrument??? [23:58] kgee, just remount the / partition read-write [23:58] kgee: That generally means that you've got serious filesystem problems, which in turn are likely caused by hardware failure. [23:58] escott: how? the tool to automatically do this keeps freezing [23:59] Jordan_U: brand new fs on a virtual machine install; the fs is fine
