| Jordan_U | kgee: What tool? "sudo mount -o remount,rw /"? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| * electronics-cat fires a bitto | 00:01 | |
| toausdo | all hail wise council of teh ubuntu! | 00:01 |
| toausdo | if I have a working liveCD system, but only a mouse pointer in the installed system... any hunch what that may be? | 00:01 |
| mcphail | toausdo: has the unity bar auto-hidden? | 00:02 |
| electronics-cat | lol | 00:02 |
| toausdo | nope. no unity, no desktop. just black and a mouse pointer | 00:03 |
| toausdo | thanks for the time, mcphail! | 00:03 |
| mcphail | toausdo: do you get as far as the login screen? | 00:03 |
| toausdo | no, although I set auto log-in on request of the owner of the computer | 00:04 |
| toausdo | so, I should see no login sceen | 00:04 |
| mcphail | aah | 00:04 |
| mcphail | toausdo: if you drop to a terminal are all of the usual gui programs running from "ps aux"? | 00:05 |
| toausdo | I'd love to check, but Im not in front of the box anymore | 00:06 |
| toausdo | went home to catch some sleep... | 00:06 |
| mcphail | toausdo: speaking of which, 1am here. Goodnight | 00:07 |
| toausdo | 2 am here | 00:07 |
| toausdo | sleep tight | 00:07 |
| electronics-cat | is this a common problem | 00:07 |
| toausdo | and thanks for the help, much appreciated! | 00:07 |
| kgee | okay, thanks to Jordan_U, I finally have root on my server. Now why can't my user log in? there is no encrypted volume, I've removed all the files there. I have an empty home drive, and I've uninstalled the ecryptfs-utils package. Still not letting me get in | 00:07 |
| electronics-cat | i think fglrx exploded | 00:10 |
| craigbass1976 | I've got icecast and darkice that I'm trying to get started at boot. Icecast starts, darkice won't. Once I'm booted though, I can run the same script I'm calling during boot and things run fine. Where do I find out what's messing up? Nothing in any of the logs that I can see | 00:11 |
| Jordan_U | kgee: What is the name of the non-root user? | 00:11 |
| Luceo | electronics-cat: What's the problem? My fglrxexplodes regularly | 00:12 |
| electronics-cat | told me it failed to install through ubuntu's restricted drivers thing, however it works fine... | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | craigbass1976: How did you configure the script to run at boot? How are you running it after boot? | 00:12 |
| kgee | Jordan_U: false alarm; /home/<user> got removed somewhere along the way | 00:13 |
| kgee | finally up and running, not for a lack of heart-attack 'omg months of work was just lost' panic | 00:13 |
| craigbass1976 | Jordan_U, update-rc.d start-stream defaults where start-stream is a script that restarts icecast (in case it wasn't running) and starts darkice using suchandsuch as a config file | 00:14 |
| regeya | ok, I finally saw the 'musical instrument' comment and chuckled. sorry, was afk. when you have daughters who are 3 and 7, afk happens a lot :-> | 00:15 |
| RichMobile | 12.04 server 64 | Highpoint Rocket Raid 622, 4-bay esata raid5. Got the drivers installed, Web interface is working. Disk/by-label shows up RightTower -> ../../sdb2 --------- I can not for the life of me get this to mount | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | craigbass1976: I asked two questions. You answed only one of them. | 00:17 |
| andrewb80 | hey guys anyone had problems with 11.01 freezing up if left idle for a few minutes. I have the same version running on 3 different machines and same problem with all three. Only way to get out of it is hold power down and force restart. Any ideas? I do frequent updates. | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | !sysrq | andrewb80 | 00:17 |
| ubottu | andrewb80: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 00:17 |
| craigbass1976 | Jordan_U, Oh. After boot I just do a /etc/init.d/start-stream | 00:18 |
| Catbus_ | thanks to the guy who let me know that I can use GNOME with 12.04! It's savd my life | 00:18 |
| FrozenMind | RichMobile - Can you show us the command you are using to mount sdb2? | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | andrewb80: It's probably related to the screensaver starting. With buggy graphics drivers a 3D screensaver could cause a crash. | 00:18 |
| msquarme | undergraduate projects for Ubuntu? | 00:19 |
| PePeR_ | hey | 00:19 |
| andrewb80 | ubottu: thanks Ill read about that | 00:19 |
| ubottu | andrewb80: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:19 |
| PePeR_ | lol | 00:19 |
| regeya | !firewire | 00:20 |
| RichMobile | •FrozenMind• sudo mount /dev/sdb2 -t cifs /mnt/RightTower | mount.cifs: bad UNC (/dev/sdb2) | 00:20 |
| PePeR_ | anyone up for some openarena? | 00:20 |
| regeya | ugh, that showed up as an alert at the bottom of the screen. thanks, empathy. | 00:20 |
| andrewb80 | Jordan U: Im running cairo dock on all three is it possible it has to do with that? Ive noticed its buggy. | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | RichMobile: cifs is a network fileystem. Why are you using -t cifs when trying to mount a partition? | 00:21 |
| PePeR_ | cairodock is amazing | 00:22 |
| andrewb80 | Anyone found any good docks to use in Ubuntu? | 00:22 |
| RichMobile | guess I dont konw what fs the raid was built with, ext3 and ext4 wont wotk | 00:22 |
| andrewb80 | PePer: I know I like it too its sick but is it better to use open Gl or the other one? Im sorry for the dumb questions Im new to ubuntu | 00:23 |
| FrozenMind | RichMobile - cifs you need a ip address to mount with... have you tried it without -t? | 00:24 |
| PePeR_ | i use cairo dock w/ unity effects or whatever its called | 00:24 |
| PePeR_ | not using cairodock now though | 00:24 |
| PePeR_ | im on my lurking 24/7 computer | 00:25 |
| PePeR_ | barebones | 00:25 |
| andrewb80 | Maybe thats whats making it glitchy on my system. I got it running on some older machines, Ill try the other one. | 00:25 |
| PePeR_ | running irssi through the terminal | 00:25 |
| RichMobile | mount without -t fails | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | RichMobile: With what error message? | 00:26 |
| ztag100 | !test | 00:26 |
| ubottu | Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) | 00:26 |
| RichMobile | the help file for mount | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | RichMobile: What is the exact command you ran? | 00:26 |
| andrewb80 | PePer: can you recomend any good tutorials on using the terminal. Seems so much better Id like to use it more | 00:26 |
| RichMobile | sudo mount /dev/sdb2 ext3 /mnt/RightTower | 00:27 |
| PePeR_ | I'm using the book Ubuntu linux toolbox | 00:27 |
| PePeR_ | but there are plenty of great tuts online | 00:27 |
| andrewb80 | In digital format? Pdf? | 00:27 |
| PePeR_ | yea prolly | 00:27 |
| escott | RichMobile, why dont you just mkfs on that device? Are you trying to get data off of it? | 00:27 |
| m477 | how to cat all sub-files in directory, instead of writing cat */*...etc | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | RichMobile: "ext3" was part of the "-t filesystem" argument. Just run "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/RightTower". | 00:28 |
| RichMobile | yes it has data | 00:28 |
| PePeR_ | Though the ubuntu linux toolbox has pretty much every command you'll need. | 00:28 |
| PePeR_ | 1000+ | 00:28 |
| andrewb80 | Awesome thanks Ill check that out | 00:28 |
| PePeR_ | yea | 00:28 |
| ztag100 | How do I change it so that wifi doesn't disable when I close the lid? | 00:29 |
| RichMobile | holy crap thanks Jordan_U | 00:29 |
| ztag100 | on a laptop | 00:29 |
| PePeR_ | prolly in the screen options | 00:29 |
| regeya | about ready to tell my wife that these kids will just have to wait. | 00:29 |
| escott | ztag100, that may not be safe. a lot of laptops are speced to a particular thermal profile which assumes the lid is up | 00:29 |
| regeya | considering trying the firewire card on my mythtv machine but that'll require pulling something else out of it first :-} | 00:29 |
| ztag100 | I always want wifi on though... | 00:29 |
| regeya | wait! I have that awful wifi pci card in the thing, and have it plugged into a switch these days. woohoo! | 00:30 |
| ztag100 | or atleast, for it to disable after 30 minutes, instead of imediatly | 00:30 |
| regeya | wish me luck, folks; I'm off to try to get my old dv camera talking to ubuntu. | 00:31 |
| Jordan_U | m477: find /path/to/directory/ -type f -exec cat '{}' \; | 00:32 |
| echo083 | i'm sharing my internet connection from my ubuntu computer to another ubuntu but i can't ping my computer outside the sharing computer is it normal ? | 00:32 |
| m477 | thx | 00:32 |
| BFranks | I installed ubuntu in text only mode.. didn't have it on the LAN when I installed.. picked 'setup networking later' and now I can't get eth0 to go dhcp or static.. DERP.. Been too long for me since I've been stuck on the shell | 00:33 |
| OerHeks | ztag100, must be fixable in laptop-mode config >> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man8/laptop-mode.conf.8.html | 00:34 |
| BFranks | (and all my google searches take me to brilliant ass help pages that suggest I do an apt-get for a networking tool) ;p | 00:34 |
| OerHeks | uhh intrepid is old, >> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/laptop-mode.conf.8.html | 00:34 |
| escott | !ics | echo083 | 00:37 |
| ubottu | echo083: 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 | 00:37 |
| echo083 | escott, what means ics ? | 00:37 |
| ev_ | when i sarted my laptop up just now my tackpad doesn't work. my usb mouse does. is there anyway to restart my trackpad, or diagnose what is wrong? | 00:37 |
| echo083 | ubottu, i was able to share my internet connection but i can't access the computer B form computer C using internet connection from A | 00:38 |
| ubottu | echo083: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:38 |
| echo083 | escott, i was able to share my internet connection but i can't access the computer B form computer C using internet connection from A | 00:38 |
| Kendall | if i setup an external hard drive to boot off to install Ubuntu, do I need to copy the files on the external drive over so they don't get erased? | 00:40 |
| Kendall | or can there be files on the hard drive and not be wiped when i set it up for boot | 00:40 |
| escott | echo083, what is the network topology? How are A,B,C connected? | 00:40 |
| neukadmin | hi, I have two network interfaces in a domU (both by pci passthrough) one with Intel 82574L the other with 82579LM chipset the first works with my dhcp server, the second doesnt, what may be the reason for this? | 00:40 |
| Kendall | And this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick will work for an external hard drive right? | 00:41 |
| echo083 | escott, i have a router R which provide internet to computer A and C and the computer B access internet from A where i have configured ICS but I can't ping B from C i'd like to know if it is normal :( | 00:41 |
| BFranks | fucking LOL.. I'm even stuck in vi now.. I thought it was : w enter q enter ? | 00:42 |
| bazhang | BFranks, no cursing here | 00:42 |
| BFranks | shuzbat ... even ctrl+z doesn't take me to shell.?! | 00:42 |
| escott | echo083, thats expected. A acts as a NAT in the same way that R does. you wouldn't be able to ping A or C from the other side of R and you can't ping B from the other side of A | 00:43 |
| curahack | Hey all! I resized my windows partition and now grub doesn't load windows anymore how can I update grub from Ubunu 12.04 ? | 00:43 |
| BFranks | Ooooh ctrl+alt+del still works! YAY! | 00:43 |
| bastidrazor | BFranks: not knowing what you're doing is no excuse to blame the software you're failing to use. | 00:43 |
| PePeR_ | lol | 00:43 |
| joshdevel12 | Hey, guys i uninstalled fglrx last night however, when i go to start Xorg, i get an error about fglrx not existing what do i do? | 00:43 |
| PePeR_ | I'm using irrsi. | 00:44 |
| BFranks | bastidrazor: Wait one sec.. "Man this Ubuntu is CRAP!!" .. There.. now you have a valid comment.. :p | 00:44 |
| escott | BFranks, might you have hit ctrl-s (I do that all the time thinking im in emacs) | 00:44 |
| echo083 | escott, ok ok :) i understand you are right it is like a new network | 00:44 |
| bastidrazor | BFranks: you're still to blame for your failure to use the software. | 00:45 |
| PePeR_ | anyone up for some openarena | 00:45 |
| PePeR_ | ? | 00:45 |
| bazhang | !ot | PePeR_ | 00:45 |
| ubottu | PePeR_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:45 |
| BFranks | bastidrazor: Correct. What's your point? .. I'm not on here asking for help because I know the answers. ;) | 00:45 |
| bastidrazor | BFranks: then you're in the wrong channel. pointless banter is silly here. | 00:46 |
| Kendall | If I make my USB external hard drive bootable to install Ubuntu off of boot, will it still be detectable by OS's such as Windows and even Ubuntu? | 00:46 |
| joshdevel12 | Can anyone help me? I currently cant evenget a gui. | 00:46 |
| stars69 | can someone help me with how to put some certain application on startup | 00:46 |
| BFranks | Just need to know "On the shell, how do I add eth0 to my ifconfig as auto/dhcp" .. cause I've been away from the shell too long.. Also I need bastidrazor's cosmic location.. He's having an argument with himself that's not relevant to anything on the channel. ;) | 00:47 |
| escott | stars69, what kind of application, when do you want it started, and what user is running this (regular user or super user?) | 00:47 |
| mint | do you have to use software raid when using a ext3 partition | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | mint: No, why would you think that? | 00:48 |
| escott | mint, no | 00:48 |
| stars69 | escott, i want ssh runing as soon as system started, any user that be fine | 00:49 |
| joshdevel12 | Seriously, nobody knows? | 00:49 |
| escott | stars69, sudo apt-get install openssh-server; thats all you need to do | 00:49 |
| stars69 | escott, how about eggdrop, i want this run also | 00:50 |
| BFranks | joshdevel12: If startx doesn't work I am useless.. ;P | 00:50 |
| Kendall | Can someone answer my question from above please | 00:50 |
| user1234567 | how do I make my nickname unique? I keep having to make a different one on different computers, I'd like to have 1 single nickname on all | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | joshdevel12: Please be patient. "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-fglrx-backup" | 00:50 |
| bazhang | user1234567, register it on IRC you mean? | 00:51 |
| user1234567 | yes bazhang | 00:51 |
| escott | stars69, never heard of eggdrop | 00:51 |
| bazhang | !register | user1234567 | 00:51 |
| ubottu | user1234567: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 00:51 |
| escott | stars69, but you can put your own services in /etc/rc.local (although its not usually used for services). you might just want to write your own upstart job | 00:51 |
| joshdevel12 | Jordan_U: ive already done that i cant think of a reason why it still points to fglrx, but im guessing it has to do with update-alternatives. | 00:52 |
| user1234567 | thnx bazhang | 00:52 |
| stars69 | escott, eggdrop is a robot bots sit on the channel for you(www.eggdrop.org) | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | joshdevel12: So you currently have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all? | 00:52 |
| joshdevel12 | Correct | 00:52 |
| bazhang | Kendall, you want to make an external, removable usb hdd both an installer and a bootable live hdd? | 00:52 |
| cristdai | hi | 00:52 |
| Kendall | I want to make it bootable so I can install Ubuntu | 00:53 |
| bazhang | Kendall, why that , and not a usb flash stick | 00:53 |
| Kendall | Because I don't have one with me at the moment. | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | Kendall: So you want to make an external USB drive which will boot the Ubuntu installer, so that you can install Ubuntu to an internal drive? | 00:53 |
| Kendall | Yes | 00:53 |
| stars69 | escott, do you have any sample of upstart script? | 00:53 |
| sixseeksick | o.O | 00:54 |
| escott | !upstart | stars69 also see /etc/init | 00:54 |
| ubottu | stars69 also see /etc/init: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | Kendall: OK, and you're asking if you can configure this external drive to boot the Ubuntu installer without losing the files which are currently stored on it? | 00:54 |
| OerHeks | Kendall yes, your ext hdd will appear in linux/windows, and you can use the free space to make fat32/ntfs partitions, which will appear as regular partitions. | 00:54 |
| stars69 | escott, thanks alot for your help | 00:54 |
| Kendall | Jordan_U: Yes, but I've been reading that it can't be NTFS, so I will have to backup the files and reformat it as FAT32 or something? | 00:55 |
| BFranks | Radical.. I just skipped 3 buses to stick around work on a Friday just to get this box online so I can remote in and all I've done is get eth0 into the interfaces list but it won't dhcp .. muuuh.. (just wimpering as I google search) | 00:55 |
| Kendall | OerHeks: So it can be bootable, but still be recognized right? | 00:55 |
| Kendall | On both Windows and Ubuntu | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | Kendall: It can't be NTFS if you're using the easy GUI tools. If you are willing to do some manual grub-foo it can be done from USB though. It's much easier to install grub if you have another Ubuntu system on hand, installing grub from within Windows is possible but makes things even more difficult. | 00:57 |
| BFranks | Well no.. I don't have it setup right : ifup: interface eth0 not configured | 00:57 |
| mint | does ubuntu need some kind of driver or something to run raid | 00:57 |
| Kendall | Jordan_U: I think I'll just reformat it as a FAT32. FAT32 can be seen by Windows right? | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | mint: Are you using Ubuntu or Linux Mint? | 00:57 |
| mint | ubuntu | 00:58 |
| OerHeks | !raid | 00:58 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:58 |
| Jordan_U | Kendall: Correct. You'll of course have to backup your files before you do that, and FAT32 has some annoying limitations like not being able to store files larger than 4 GiB. | 00:59 |
| BFranks | Yup.. vi broke my /etc/network/interfaces file.. Isn't there a quick way to rebuild it? | 00:59 |
| mint | i use a raid controller | 00:59 |
| Jordan_U | mint: FakeRAID? | 00:59 |
| mint | yeah | 00:59 |
| mint | should i reset my raid and use software raid | 01:00 |
| Jordan_U | mint: I don't think that Ubuntu's installer currently handles FakeRAID properly. Why are you using FakeRAID rather than linux mdraid? | 01:00 |
| Kendall | Jordan_U: Ok, I think I'll just reformat it back to using NTFS after I'm done through Windows then. So is this Linux Live USB Creator all I need in order to make the USB ext HDD bootable, or do I need more than that because it says it has the option to reformat it into FAT32 | 01:00 |
| Jordan_U | mint: Yes, mdraid is much better than FakeRAID. You'll need to use the alternate install CD to install to mdraid though. | 01:00 |
| mint | cause my motherboard does not support 6 hhds | 01:01 |
| === Shojo is now known as HugsSlut | ||
| === haruband__ is now known as haruband | ||
| BFranks | Woooo! I'm just going to reinstall on Monady.. Nuking your /etc/network/interfaces file does NOT cause it to be re-built from defaults.. FWIW.. Have a great weekend #ubuntu ... thanks for all the unrelated and off point replies. :) | 01:02 |
| Jordan_U | mint: If it supports FakeRAID with 6 hard drives then those same drives can be accessed directly and used in mdraid as well (Once you're out of the BIOS in early boot it's the linux kernel which handles FakeRAID anyway, there's nothing really special about the hardware other than having more connections for hard drives than most). | 01:03 |
| OerHeks | BFranks, you didn't ask for help, you said. | 01:03 |
| mint | well i am running a home server | 01:03 |
| bazhang | sudo dhclient eth0 BFranks | 01:03 |
| alex_____ | I'm having an install problem with 12.04 lts is this the right place to ask that question? | 01:05 |
| stars69 | what is the cmd to scan hard drive for error from ssh terminal? | 01:06 |
| escott | stars69, fsck but it must be unmounted or mounted read-only | 01:07 |
| celthunder | stars69: fsck alex_____ yes | 01:07 |
| stars69 | escott and celthunder thanks | 01:07 |
| alex_____ | I used wubi at first which installed with no problems untill boot up then I downloaded the cd and installed with no problems but its doing the same thing. I get the login screen. Login and the system hangs. When I load the fail safe graphics mode it says low graphics mode and my screen graphics card and input device could not be detected. I'm running a Dell Inspiron about a year and half old | 01:09 |
| msquarme | I installed my ubuntu 11.10 using wubi installer. It says error wubier when i start up my pc but it is working | 01:10 |
| celthunder | stars69: any useful logs | 01:12 |
| stars69 | celthunder, yes that fsck is worked :) take sometime to scan, can i scan multiple hardrive on same time? | 01:14 |
| escott | stars69, sure | 01:14 |
| stars69 | escott, what is the cmd to do that? | 01:15 |
| celthunder | stars69: why not? | 01:15 |
| celthunder | stars69: just open a new tty or vtty | 01:15 |
| stars69 | celthunder, oh ok thanks | 01:16 |
| stars69 | it would be nice if we can do multiple on one ssh terminal screen | 01:16 |
| celthunder | stars69: if nothing else send the first to the background or use tmux/screen | 01:16 |
| celthunder | if that wuld suite you better | 01:17 |
| celthunder | whatever works | 01:17 |
| stars69 | celthunder, thanks | 01:17 |
| sary | alex_____: did md5 test the iso image before bugning , you should also burn to a CD-DVD | 01:17 |
| sary | with a slow speed. | 01:18 |
| alex_____ | I didn't do the md5 test. Do you know how to do that in Windows 7? | 01:18 |
| IdleOne | !md5 | 01:18 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 01:18 |
| alex_____ | thanks | 01:19 |
| PePeR_ | hello | 01:19 |
| msquarme | how to fix error with wubi installer | 01:20 |
| sary | alex_____: see if you can switch to a text console (tty) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 .. if so , log in with your user name and password , and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. | 01:20 |
| escott | stars69, open multiple ssh sessions or use screen | 01:20 |
| sary | alex_____: last , reboot and see how it goes . | 01:20 |
| User123 | Hi aLL! | 01:21 |
| User123 | Any here? | 01:21 |

| Diamondcite | ev_: I am not sure how to answer your properly, but maybe the next time it happens you can atleast try an lsusb to see if the touchpad can be detected atleast? | 01:40 |
| Fred219 | I have purged and reinstalled unity, but still have no top panel or launcher and the same error when trying to restart unity. | 01:41 |
| ev_ | Diamondcite: thanks for the reply, my issue persits. i will look into lsusb. thanks again | 01:41 |
| Diamondcite | ev_: Err hrm... nvm.. I have no idea how to check input x.x | 01:41 |
| njuettner | @Fred219 so a unity --reset didn't help? | 01:42 |

| funa | njuettner, i have ununtu 10.04 is there a web page that will tell me how to do it | 01:45 |
| Diamondcite | ev_: On most laptops there should be an Fn + F# key combo which disables the touchpad and can re-enable it too, give it a shot? | 01:46 |

| Qualia | Hello everyone respect and jah bless ya sons, cheers for the rastafari. Anyways, the Ubuntu startup loadscreen is always showing on LOW RESOLUTION. I figured this out when I changed the graphic drivers. Do you have any suggestions ? | 01:55 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | potentially | 01:55 |
| Qualia | Think its something with fglrx | 01:55 |
| shashi | dont know some how i am not able to use cam anywhere | 01:55 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | so you've changed the graphics drivers? | 01:55 |
| zyltoid | hi | 01:55 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | you've got just one screen, or more than one? | 01:55 |
| zyltoid | the new ubuntu is awesome ! | 01:55 |
| Qualia | me ? | 01:55 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | Qualia, you | 01:55 |
| Qualia | one screen yeah | 01:56 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | but now it's all low res? | 01:56 |
| shashi | i like xubuntu better | 01:56 |
| Qualia | yep | 01:56 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | you messed with something such as the Catalyst Control Center? | 01:56 |
| Qualia | could be | 01:56 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | that might a good place to try to tweak the resolution | 01:56 |
| msquarme | how shashi? | 01:56 |
| zyltoid | i like xubuntu as well, but there's no nice integrated 3d composite | 01:56 |
| Qualia | it happened right after i updated ubuntu | 01:56 |
| Qualia | before upgrading to 12.04 | 01:56 |
| Qualia | one of the updates fixed tihs | 01:56 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | o | 01:56 |
| Qualia | then i realized there wasnt fglrx installed | 01:57 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | so it's fixed? | 01:57 |
| Qualia | i thought it would be a good idea to install that | 01:57 |
| shashi | i dont know i am a new user and started using it one month ago. | 01:57 |
| Qualia | now its back to low res again, things are slower | 01:57 |
| Fred219 | sorry, running unity --reset command locked my system up. | 01:57 |
| msquarme | have u start the classic ubuntu | 01:57 |

| zymaster | hey does anyone know what the deal with "locked" files is. I insert a usb device I check it's permissions and I have full permissions to read and write to it. When I do something to it as root it works but when I do something to it as me it does not work. Also when I look at it in files it shows up with a little lock on its icon so i dont know what this means. Also when I plugin it in it usually ends up being something like /dev/b | 02:05 |
| zymaster | us/usb/005/something or other | 02:05 |
| bpcomp | zymaster: your system is mounting the usb as readonly | 02:06 |
| zymaster | How do I fix that? Also its permissions are 770 and I am in the owning group | 02:06 |
| zymaster | thanks im such a noob | 02:07 |
| bpcomp | well it can be a pain to fix sometimes | 02:07 |
| zymaster | Do you know where I might reference a tutorial? Thanks Ive been tearing my brains out trying to solve this | 02:08 |
| Fred219 | Just thought I would let you know. I purged fglrx-updates and rebooted and unity came back. | 02:08 |
| bpcomp | lemme look online a sec | 02:08 |
| PePeR_ | does the USB device have a switch on it? | 02:09 |
| PePeR_ | or any other mehcanism? | 02:09 |

| Qualia | actually, sary I want to install the opensource drivers | 02:37 |
| Qualia | and i found the guide | 02:37 |
| Qualia | so i dont need help i guess ^^ | 02:37 |

| `Korvin | My external monitor is not vsyncing | 02:48 |
| `Korvin | how do I enable that? | 02:48 |
| `Korvin | nvidia card | 02:48 |
| tonyr2k8 | harold, network tools, then select lookup | 02:49 |

| ActionParsnip | harold: You can also use: nslookup hostname.com | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | harold: or dig hostname.com | 02:52 |

| Trippz | lbuntu | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | KingKatari: you may need: sudo apt-get -f install to get the deps of the deb | 03:05 |
| sary | Trippz: no , it's my ty-po .. i aologize. | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: could install ubuntu minimal then install slim and fluxbox on it, very light even compared to Lubuntu :) | 03:08 |

| ubottu | Trippz, please see my private message | 03:08 |

| === opt1mus is now known as m00se | ||
| Trippz | sorry if i ask more, this notebook is a CELERON (R) CPU 2.20ghz , 248 MB RAM, so is LOW ram spec, there are a specific version for LOW ram pc's or is all in one version and i can choose the system for low ram specs? sorry if i ask but im not english and im little lost in the site instructions :( | 03:14 |
| maryam_ | ubuntulite | 03:14 |
| maryam_ | actually | 03:14 |
| maryam_ | try this | 03:14 |
| maryam_ | LXDE or XCFE | 03:14 |
| SudoKing | lubuntu? | 03:14 |
| maryam_ | XUBUNTU | 03:14 |
| FloodBot1 | maryam_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:14 |
| maryam_ | LUBUNTU | 03:14 |
| Trippz | yes im asking because im in the lubuntu site but i dunno what version i need to download | 03:14 |
| ActionParsnip | maryam_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ a simple 'please' goes a long way | 03:14 |
| maryam_ | http://lubuntu.net/ | 03:14 |
| sary | maryam_ , just make sure to install a DE before removing unity. | 03:14 |
| hash | what about dsl or microbox i think was the other one | 03:15 |
| maryam_ | a DE? | 03:15 |
| maryam_ | like gnome | 03:15 |
| maryam_ | ? | 03:15 |
| SudoKing | Trippz: download the ISO image, | 03:15 |
| SudoKing | generally 32-bit | 03:15 |
| Trippz | ok | 03:15 |
| SudoKing | you dont have > 4 GB of RAM anyway | 03:15 |
| maryam_ | Xubuntu or Lubuntu is better than DSL for beginners | 03:15 |
| maryam_ | 32-bit system | 03:15 |
| hash | ah | 03:15 |
| maryam_ | download the 32 bit | 03:15 |
| sary | Trippz: make sure you md5 test the iso , before burnning to a media . | 03:15 |
| sary | maryam_: please type in ONE line. | 03:15 |
| maryam_ | they also have a utility once you run the disk that allows you to autocheck the md5 "check disk for errors" | 03:16 |
| sary | !md5 > Trippz | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Trippz, please see my private message | 03:16 |
| maryam_ | so, when Installing Gnome for the replacement of unity; DO I INSTALL gnome first before removing unity or.... do I simply do it in the reverse order? | 03:17 |
| SudoKing | wasn't there an option to select interface on the login screen ? | 03:18 |
| SudoKing | why not just select GNOME from there | 03:18 |
| Trippz | ok sary im downloading the iso from the official site | 03:18 |
| SudoKing | but i haven't really looked, so | 03:18 |
| sary | SudoKing: right , but if Gnome is already installed. | 03:19 |
| sary | or any other DE. | 03:19 |
| kion | Maryam have you considered another Ubuntu based distro that has no Unity, like http://pinguy-os.sourceforge.net/ | 03:19 |

| kion | I have a ubuntu server with no swap partition | 03:21 |
| * sary got so hyped about Gubuntu . | 03:21 | |
| sary | kion: you can use fdisk. | 03:21 |
| maryam_ | thank you for help @kion | 03:22 |
| krababbel | Hi, is there a way to disable the zoom function from the terminal? It seems to lock up my desktop and after a restart it gets automatically started again. | 03:22 |
| kion | thanks Sary, so fdisk is the command line version of Gparted? | 03:23 |
| SudoKing | rather, GParted is a graphical frontend to fdisk ? =p | 03:23 |
| sary | kion: kind of. | 03:24 |
| kion | SudoKing, Sorry that is what I meant! | 03:24 |
| sary | see man fdisk . | 03:24 |
| hash | so after quick research lts basically downloads the security updates for 3 years to help prevent bugs and what not correct? | 03:24 |

| msquarme | where can i get free oracle virtual box for ubuntu? | 03:25 |

| hash | software center | 03:27 |

| msquarme | always stuck installing with software center | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | msquarme: its the same, just prettier | 03:28 |
| stanigator | How would you suggest to access the terminal settings to set the 'Run command as login shell' checkbox? | 03:28 |
| msquarme | Thank u buddy | 03:29 |
| kion | msquarme i would do sudo apt-get install virtualbox an tab to see alternatives | 03:30 |

| bmck- | if i have 16gb ram how much swap area do i need for the partition | 03:43 |
| ActionParsnip | kion: advising pinguy isn't very wise, it isn't supported here so you are restricting support for the user | 03:44 |

| bmck- | krababbel: no it doesnt matter, i have a 500gb hd for it | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | bmck-: then 16Gb is loads, you won't need swap | 03:46 |
| bmck- | separate | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | bmck-: as in, at all | 03:46 |
| bmck- | ok | 03:46 |
| Trippz | sary: are you here? i have this error :( -> isolinux: Disk error 10, AX = 4280, drive EF | 03:47 |
| ActionParsnip | bmck-: if you want to play safe and have drive space to spare you could have 17Gb swap and be fine | 03:48 |
| sary | krababbel: anyhow , what you try to do before the lock occur . | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: is that during install? | 03:48 |

| sary | krababbel: thanks . | 03:48 |
| Trippz | sary: no tool | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 03:49 |
| rahul | i'm gettin this error "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Cannot login" | 03:49 |
| krababbel | sary: I had the zoom, from universal access. I use gnome-shell, nvidia driver, | 03:49 |
| Trippz | ActionParsnip: no is from the official site, is not secure? :o | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: its nothing to do with secure | 03:49 |
| krababbel | sary: I logged in into classic gnome, logged out, and it works again. | 03:49 |
| Trippz | however the instructions for the md5 checksum are for linux platforms and now i can operate only from windows | 03:49 |
| rahul | i re-installed power-manager.. but the problem still exist.. | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: its to make sure that the data has been mangled during transmission. The source is irrelevant | 03:50 |
| rahul | any one listening..? | 03:50 |
| Trippz | im in the dark side of the file sharing again | 03:50 |
| rahul | someone pls.. | 03:50 |
| Trippz | now i try to check the md5 | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: how do you mean 'dark side'? | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: the data needs checking, nothing more or less..... | 03:52 |
| sary | krababbel: I see. | 03:52 |
| Trippz | you mean mangled from someone or something? :) | 03:52 |
| Trippz | BY ** | 03:53 |
| Trippz | however from windows i dont know how to check the code | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: bad ports and cables can cause bad packets. TCP does an ok job at capturing them but some do get past and cause bad files to be downloaded | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5sum | 03:53 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:53 |

| ActionParsnip | Trippz: i'd test your RAM using the memtest option in grub. Get fully updated asap too, may help | 04:01 |
| krababbel | bmck-: A Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 system will run just fine with no swap space at all as long as the sum of anonymous memory and system V shared memory is less than about 3/4 the amount of RAM. | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: possibly, did you burn the DVD as fast as posible by any chance? | 04:02 |

| APoulos | hello folks, anyone in here remember the issue I was having yesterday with determining whether or not I should VM winxp or dual boot it? | 04:16 |
| APoulos | Well, to follow up, I found out a few things | 04:16 |
| APoulos | When running the installer for XP on my actual computer, not through VM - i received the notorious BSOD 0x0000004e | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | Trippz sure, new to Ubuntu but I'm very sure you have used web searches to stuff out that was new. yes? | 04:17 |
| APoulos | or something along the lines of it | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Trippz sure, new to Ubuntu but I'm very sure you have used web searches to stuff out that was new. yes?: 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 | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | Trippz | 04:17 |
| APoulos | along with the parameter - PFN_List_Corrupt | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Trippz: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 04:17 |
| Trippz | thanks | 04:18 |
| APoulos | so basically that translates to Faulty Memory / RAM | 04:18 |
| APoulos | at this point - I think I'm going to run Memtest to see what I can find out about this issue | 04:18 |
| APoulos | if it ends up being just the ram, then no big deal, I guess I can just run a VM - VM's aren't as hard to get running are they? | 04:19 |

| ActionParsnip | timothywcrane: you can use ccsm to configure compiz with Unity, it's to be used delicately as it can screw up settings | 04:20 |
| pibarnas | timothywcrane: to fix? | 04:20 |
| APoulos | So, people, I ask of you, would running a VM be easier on my system? or would it be harder on it because I'm running 2 OS' at once? | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | timothywcrane: you can use devilspie (and gdevilspie from google code as a gui) to set app locations and size on opening etc if that's what you want but I'm fairly sure compiz can do that | 04:21 |
| alecbenzer | I'm trying to setup gnome classic in 12.04. I apt-got gnome shell and logged in to the gnome classic session, but some colors seem to be messed up ("Applications" and "Places" are grayed out on the top, there's no ubuntu logo, which it seems like there should be from videos, and the color of minimized windows is off). anyone know why/fix? | 04:21 |
| timothywcrane | already have that configred. I am just looking for a window locking mechanism like in aero. would like to keep in as a simple Wm as going KDE kiosk would be overkill. | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: you will be using 2 OSes with of resources at the same time, so not really easier | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ | 04:22 |
| APoulos | ActionParsnip: I'm using that | 04:22 |
| APoulos | ActionParsnip: Im using gnome classic | 04:22 |

| APoulos | ActionParsnip: I have 3GB of ram on a 32bit dual core AMD processors - would allowing a VM of Windows XP about 1GB of ram be alright? | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: could just install xfce4 package and use xfce, much easier and runs a lot like old style gnome desktop | 04:24 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: should be fine. If you need raw usb access then install virtualbox from the virtualbox ppa | 04:24 |
| APoulos | ActionParsnip: because the program Im trying to run within XP requires atleast 712mb of ram, so giving the VM running XP 1GB - wouldn't do much damage? | 04:25 |
| alecbenzer | btw this is a fresh 12.04 install, but I had the same problems with an install I upgraded from 11.10 | 04:25 |
| Trippz | ok i think the dvd reader is DEAD, now the pc dont boot from cd O.o | 04:25 |
| === stevmmm_ is now known as stevmmm | ||
| krababbel | APoulos: no, it is a pc, not a bomb :) | 04:25 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: might want to set more then, XP needs ram too :) | 04:25 |
| sary | JonEdney: correct. | 04:26 |
| krababbel | Trippz: I had three die in a row I think | 04:26 |
| APoulos | krababbel: hahahaha well | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | timothywcrane: no idea, i hate compiz | 04:26 |
| krababbel | APoulos: the xp might sometimes be faster calculating, since it simulates a single core using your dual core I read. | 04:26 |
| Trippz | krababbel: omg linux dvd killer | 04:26 |
| Trippz | (joking) | 04:26 |

| JonEdney | Thank you sary I have that done, another quick question. When I sign the CoC, to I copy and paste everything in the file, or just the PGP Signature area? | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: could install from USB stick or SD card if your BIOS supports it. It's more reliable and faster | 04:27 |
| krababbel | APoulos: just try it, you can remove it again, if you want | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | JonEdney: I'd ask in #freenode | 04:28 |
| alecbenzer | oh, and more importantly, alt-tab does not work | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | JonEdney: took me ages to sign, its not easy imho | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | alecbenzer: set the ALT+TAB behaviour in ccsm | 04:28 |
| APoulos | ActionParsnip, krababbel - well I mean I put in 3GB of ram, 1 2GB and kept the stock 1GB so altogether, I have 3GB of ram, but one stick of ram is giving me issues. thats what atleast I'm getting from the BSODs | 04:28 |
| timothywcrane | thx Action, thx Pibarnas | 04:28 |
| juanito_ | Why do I get "password required" when I try to install CM9 with "novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2" ? | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: then remove the bad stick when the power is off | 04:29 |
| krababbel | APoulos: take it out, faulty ram is trouble | 04:29 |
| alecbenzer | ActionParsnip: I thought ccsm was just for unity? | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | juanito_: because you run the OS as user, any installs will need your password to authenticate | 04:29 |
| APoulos | ActionParsnip krababbel I just dont want the bloody thing to burn up - I don't have anything to replace the faulty stick with. | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | alecbenzer: its for compiz | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | alecbenzer: are you using compiz? | 04:30 |

| ztag100 | what's the best desktop based email client? | 04:31 |
| APoulos | ActionParsnip: btw, you mentioned xcfe4 - it being "lighter" so to speak? | 04:31 |
| krababbel | APoulos: if you want the pc to work at all reliably, take one out. | 04:31 |
| APoulos | ztag100: depends what type of computer do you have? | 04:31 |
| alecbenzer | ActionParsnip: I'm having a bunch of other problems too, though (see previous comments), which made me think they were all related | 04:31 |
| sary | JonEdney: I've done it a long time .. can't quite remember . | 04:31 |
| APoulos | krababbel: then wouldn't I have to redo my swap? | 04:31 |
| ztag100 | APoulos, what do you mean by that? | 04:31 |
| krababbel | APoulos: no | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: yes, it uses fewer resources than gnome, it also runs a lot like 'classic' gnome | 04:31 |
| APoulos | ztag100: well different clients take up different amounts of CPU | 04:32 |
| alecbenzer | hm, you know what, I should probably try a reboot, brb | 04:32 |

| juanito_ | I use sudo and provide password but I still get the msg. I get the same results from a Windows machine | 04:32 |
| APoulos | ztag100: do you know how many gb of ram you have? | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sary: dude, make a factoid of that please, thats awesome | 04:33 |

| Trippz | ActionParsnip: is possible this bios recognize an external dvd writer? i have one | 04:34 |
| mint | windows 8 looks like a tablet OS | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Trippz: possibly, if the BIOS has a setting to boot one then it should be ok :) | 04:34 |
| Trippz | ok i try | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mint: WIndows 8 is offtopic here | 04:34 |
| juanito_ | APoulos: I use sudo and provide password but I still get the msg. I get the same results from a Windows machine | 04:34 |
| APoulos | ztag100: as far as calendar goes, you may consider looking into google's calendar - instead of one on ubuntu | 04:34 |
| APoulos | juanito_: what? | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: evolution can sync google calendar if memory serves | 04:35 |
| pibarnas | alicia_b: video channel? or X session? | 04:35 |
| JonEdney | sary, thank you, perfect. | 04:36 |
| APoulos | ActionParsnip, krababbel - my swap is currently set at 2.7GB - if I remove the faulty stick of ram wont I need to reduce that? | 04:36 |
| alicia_b | pibarnas: A video channel in kdenlive | 04:36 |
| krababbel | no | 04:36 |
| sary | ActionParsnip: :) , ill see what i can do , but am i allowed to . | 04:36 |
| ztag100 | ActionParsnip: would you recommend it? | 04:36 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: more swap won't hurt the system | 04:36 |
| sary | !fact > sary | 04:36 |
| ubottu | sary, please see my private message | 04:36 |
| sary | JonEdney: you're welcome. | 04:36 |
| APoulos | ztag100: Evolution is good for its calendar, but Thunderbird is where Email really shines | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: i use web stuff mostly, so not sure personally. I've seen people say it's ok | 04:37 |

| === zenix`away is now known as zenix` | ||
| APoulos | ztag100: I removed Thunderbird because of the resources it was using on my CPU, so since you have more ram and are running a better system than me, I bet you can run it just fine | 04:37 |
| veebull | kc, I'm back ;) | 04:38 |
| veebull | ack. meant that to be 'k'... | 04:38 |
| ztag100 | It's going to sync 2 GoogleApps, 2 Gmails, and a hotmail | 04:38 |
| APoulos | krababbel ActionParsnip alright, now how will I be able to tell which one is faulty from using Memtest? | 04:38 |
| krababbel | ztag100: switched from web to thunderbird again, it's ok | 04:38 |
| krababbel | ztag100: calendar sync works too | 04:38 |
| veebull | is there a correct way to trim /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog files back from 5.8GB each? | 04:39 |
| krababbel | APoulos: you try them each in succession | 04:39 |
| persona | my monitor settings wont save ati and its a laptop when i use hdmi it resets to cloning every time is there a way to make it stay at multi desktop and preferably 1080 for the hdmi screen | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | APoulos: you won't from the test, you will need to remove a stick then boot back to the memtest to rerun the test. If you then get a clean test, you have removed the bad stick | 04:39 |
| APoulos | ActionParsnip, krababbel - well then, The only thing I worry about now is how my system will adjust to downgrading RAM | 04:40 |
| linagee | is there a fix for "flash always dies on me"? (same happens in firefox, chrome, etc.) | 04:41 |
| linagee | sometimes youtube and such work, sometimes they just randomly die... | 04:41 |
| krababbel | linagee: nope, no support for linux at all anymore | 04:41 |
| linagee | krababbel: that's kind of dumb. not everyone has ditched flash yet. | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | linagee: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' Thanks | 04:42 |
| * linagee shakes fist at adobe | 04:42 | |

| krababbel | APoulos: no | 04:44 |
| linagee | ActionParsnip: I had 11.10 and upgrading to 12.04 did not help. (probably shouldn't have expected it to. I was just... hopeful.) | 04:44 |
| Drubal | Anyone having youtube/flash issues? | 04:45 |
| Drubal | My flash stutters now and it never used to | 04:45 |

| linagee | ActionParsnip: and by die I mean the puzzle piece guy with the "x"-ed eyes | 04:46 |
| Drubal | What is action parsnip | 04:46 |
| celthunder | Drubal: flash is dead...adobe has put there money into html5 | 04:46 |
| Drubal | celthunder: tell that to the millions of site using flash for video | 04:46 |
| linagee | Drubal: exactly | 04:46 |
| linagee | Drubal: and not just youtube. many many other third party plugins used on many many sites | 04:46 |

| celthunder | Drubal: dont blame me because your webmasters suck or that youre weired enough to patronize such sites. kind of like ie devs that moke sites that only work in ie...good luck its not worth the time to view the site then | 04:47 |
| linagee | sometimes I get some sort of XID collision message | 04:48 |
| linagee | nfi what that means | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | linagee: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo (in software centre) then install adobe-flashplugin and you will get 64bit flash for your 64bit OS | 04:49 |

" in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS ? | 08:25 |
| ItsMeLenny | pellaeon, 12.04 is like a little bit unstable i guess so they say wait til 12.04.1 | 08:26 |
| pellaeon | ItsMeLenny: hmmm, I'm curious of the details, is there something yet to be fixed? | 08:28 |
| reiu | uff | 08:28 |
| ItsMeLenny | pellaeon, i dont think anything great, but i think as a LTS the majority of people upgrade to it and then bugs are pointed out pretty quickly | 08:30 |
| matthewL | Aside from an apport malfunction, things are OK. | 08:30 |

| wolfric_ | and are you on a linux machine? if so, on the machine you want to control, sudo apt-get install openssh-server and hit y to install | 11:41 |
| chillidude | good point wolfric_ | 11:41 |

| === THE_Dreamer is now known as jiohdi | ||
| wolfric_ | magic_al: right can you please answer my original question, is the webserver running ubuntu and are you running ubuntu | 11:44 |
| magic_al | wolfric_: ah ok. i am running ubuntu 12. i know that the server runs linux but not what kind of distribution | 11:44 |
| wolfric_ | when you hit "connect to server", what was the "type" that you selected in the drop down menu? | 11:44 |
| ohad_ | I just added to the startup applications a line like that: /usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sda4 | 11:44 |
| wolfric_ | magic_al: the default is ftp which is just for transfering files. Do you control the webserver or is this just space that has been given to you | 11:45 |
| chillidude | perhaps samba is running on the webserver machine ? | 11:45 |
| HelplessPenguin | Noob requesting assistance here, 10 gold coins to whoever can help me with my driver / kernel module problem. Anyone got a minute? | 11:46 |
| alex_hammer | anybody helps me? | 11:46 |
| magic_al | wolfric_: first i want to transfer files. i use that server as a webserver. and in additon to that i wanted to init a git repositorry. so no - i dont need to conrtoll it i think | 11:46 |
| wolfric_ | chillidude: or a host of other services, best to just ask instead of guessing each one but in any case, i would doubt it. not exactly standard for a webserver. ftp or sftp seems more likely | 11:46 |
| HelplessPenguin | alex_hammer what's up? My limited knowledge may be of assistance, but I doubt it | 11:46 |
| wolfric_ | magic_al: first, answer my questions please, second, you do need to control it to do git init | 11:47 |

| magic_al | wolfric_: uname: fechner_alex / adress: anarazel.de | 11:48 |
| wolfric_ | magic_al: open up a terminal and type ssh fechner_alex@anarazel.de | 11:49 |
| wolfric_ | type your password and then you're logged into the machine and you can execute ocmmands | 11:49 |
| magic_al | wolfric_: did that already. but if i type in my pw i get the response 'Permission denied, please try again.' | 11:50 |
| wolfric_ | magic_al: then you're typing your password wrong or you have the wrong hostname. sftp works with the same system on the same port | 11:51 |
| wolfric_ | magic_al: if it worked for "connect to server" then it'll work for ssh. Even if it's blocked on ssh instead of sftp, you won't get permission denied, you'll log in and straight out again | 11:52 |
| magic_al | wolfric_: might it be possible that my friend gave me wrong permission in order to conrtoll it? | 11:52 |
| chillidude | also magic_al , that username needs to exist on the server | 11:52 |
| wolfric_ | magic_al: no | 11:52 |
| wolfric_ | magic_al: that's permission denied is for wrong passwords/usernames. not filesystem permissions | 11:52 |

| HelplessPenguin | Can anyone help me out here? I'm getting FATAL: Module nvidia not found. When I try to startx after trying to install nvidia drivers (nvidia-current and nvidia-glx-173) | 11:58 |
| wolfric_ | HelplessPenguin: no idea but i googled "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." and found lots | 11:59 |
| Keshi | HelplessPenguin: Check you edited the config file properly. | 11:59 |
| HelplessPenguin | So did I | 11:59 |
| HelplessPenguin | I've been googling various phrases for hours | 11:59 |
| HelplessPenguin | The config was automated by nvidia-config | 12:00 |
| HelplessPenguin | nvidia-xconfig | 12:00 |
| HelplessPenguin | it generates a new xorg.conf | 12:01 |
| Keshi | HelplessPenguin: Yeah, I am not in the situation or in front of your machine, but the error message says x cannot find the module. My guess is that means what it says. There may be some problem with the script whatever packager manager ran when you installed it. If the module has a name other than nvidia for whatever reason, editing the config file might still work. | 12:03 |
| Keshi | HelplessPenguin: Maybe some issue caused the package manager to name it something else… or whatever… IDK. | 12:03 |

| RobinJ1995 | i don't know why they still include it, 90% of the problems are caused by it | 12:26 |
| Keshi | RobinJ1995: They include it because it allows people trying Linux for the first time to install it like software they are used to. | 12:26 |
| Keshi | RobinJ1995: There is nothing inherently evil about it either AFAIK. | 12:27 |
| RobinJ1995 | Keshi, and usually scares them away from linux | 12:27 |

| Z_God | I would expect the issues with it to have been solved before the release, because some packages still depend on it | 13:13 |
| OerHeks | Z_God, ubuntu 12.04 is multi-arch, all you need is multiarch support, which is enabled by default. | 13:15 |
| Z_God | OerHeks: yes that works | 13:16 |
| Z_God | OerHeks: but some old packages like acroread from the partner repository still depend on ia32-libs, so they are not installable | 13:16 |

| ohad_ | I'm using 12.04. Is it possible that my kernel doesn't have the new i916 enabled? | 13:30 |
| OerHeks | Crypto_, how did you install your wireless driver ? if you build it yourself, rebuild it for the new kernel. | 13:31 |
| neure | can i somehow install kubuntu-desktop but omit some packages? | 13:31 |

| i3luefire | I am running 12.04LTS server and it is a headless server... when i reboot it sometimes requires me to select which kernel i want ... which is annoying bc i don't have a keyboard or monitor attached how can i make grub auto select the default kernel after a waiting period everytime? | 13:38 |
| OerHeks | Crypto_, odd, i can't think of any other solution. | 13:39 |

| OerHeks | i3luefire, the ubuntu way is "sudo -i" | 14:07 |
| i3luefire | OerHeks, but if your sudo is broken you need su | 14:07 |

| bazhang | ayuba, what printer, make and model | 14:39 |
| loot | how do I get a 2D game that requires opengl to run in a live cd | 14:39 |
| bazhang | ayuba, what does linuxprinting.org say about your printer, check the database first | 14:40 |
| ayuba | canon mp287 | 14:40 |
| zykotic10 | loot: a 2D game that requies OpenGL - is actually a 3D game... | 14:40 |
| jamesbeebop | Hello all, happy Saturday. :) | 14:40 |
| loot | ok | 14:40 |
| Urulu | Jonathon, I certainly hope that you were NOT trying to fsck on/to a mounted file system. | 14:40 |
| loot | well maybe it's a problem with SDL, but I think my live cd has SDL | 14:40 |
| ayuba | i already download the driver from the canon support | 14:40 |
| ayuba | but i dont know how to install | 14:40 |
| ayuba | :D | 14:40 |
| Jonathon | Urulu, No, I ran fsck on an unmounted partition | 14:40 |
| Urulu | Whew, that was a close one.. | 14:41 |
| Jonathon | Urulu, I'm not that newbish :P | 14:41 |
| loot | When I run the game from the live CD it's very slow, but when I run the game in Ubuntu OS installed on an HD, it's smooth | 14:41 |
| jamesbeebop | I'm running 12.04 with xbmc, and have two fiddly little issues. I've created an xbmc session in lightdm, and when I sign in there, I get no sound on my external speakers. I do get sound on the laptop when the external speaker wire isn't connected, and I do get hdmi sound, but not the external speakers. | 14:41 |
| loot | The game is 2D and doesn't consume much resources, so what could be wrong? | 14:42 |
| Jonathon | loot, anything run on a livecd is going to be a lot slower | 14:42 |
| ayuba | i have cnijfilter-mp280series-3.40-1-deb.tar.gz | 14:42 |
| jamesbeebop | 2 - When I close the laptop lid, both the laptop screen and the external monitor go blank, even though I have set "do nothing". | 14:42 |
| ayuba | how to run cnijfilter-mp280series-3.40-1-deb.tar.gz | 14:42 |
| loot | Jonathon: My problem isn't because it's on a live cd, but because it's using OpenGL | 14:42 |
| Urulu | Jonathon, It is an easy thing to overlook; especially for those coming from the win environment. I'm not, by any means suggesting that about you. :-) | 14:42 |
| Jonathon | ayuba, extract it | 14:42 |
| ayuba | ok than | 14:43 |
| ayuba | then.. | 14:43 |
| loot | Could anyone recommend a live C Dfor gaming if this one doesn't work | 14:43 |
| loot | something that has OpenGL | 14:43 |
| Jonathon | Urulu, Yea I know, I haven't been on windows in nearly 2 years though, So I'm getting most of these basic tips memorized | 14:43 |
| Jonathon | ayuba, What files do you have after you extract it? | 14:44 |
| zykotic10 | loot: there are some game livecds out there (or where at one point). But gaming and LiveCDs is going to be sub-par for sure. | 14:44 |
| JonEdney | o/ | 14:45 |
| jamesbeebop | jonathon, if it's similar to the mg5200 series, he should be left with cnijfilter-mp280series-3.40-1-deb\install.sh | 14:45 |
| oCean | JonEdney: why would you send that to every channel you enter? | 14:46 |
| loot | Really... I like ubuntu... and I like Live CDs... but really this program only needs something like opengl | 14:46 |
| loot | I wish there was an Ubuntu or linux version of filemon.exe for Windows | 14:46 |
| Jonathon | james, That's what I was expecting, Either a deb or sh file | 14:46 |

| Jonathon | Urulu, No, But I don't have an account there yet, And just figured this'd be faster. I should go search real quick though | 14:53 |
| studio | I need help. I can't seem to access my home dir through thunar. I can ls /home/me and see all my folders/files in the dir, just fine, but I can't open the dir in a GUI | 14:53 |
| PePeR_ | does anyone know how to substitute the freedoom music for the orignal doom music | 14:54 |
| studio | When I click on the 'me' icon in thunar's left panel, it says 'rror when getting information for file '/home/me/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected. | 14:54 |
| studio | any ideas what's up? | 14:54 |
| Urulu | Jonathon, I don't think you need an account to "search", that being said you really should register, it's a fantastic resource and, the one I used almost exclusively, until I discovered 'here'. :) | 14:54 |
| sandprickle | ok, want that message? | 14:55 |
| Jonathon | studio, I used to get that message to sometimes, Have you tried rebooting? | 14:56 |
| spike30001 | 12.04 is looking good so far, need to read whats new | 14:56 |

| studio | Yes, I've logged in and out several times and rebooted twice. No avail. | 14:57 |
| studio | I'm in the terminal browsing my /me/downloads folder as we speak. It's not an encryption problem, as far as I can tell, but I don't know what it is, either. | 14:57 |
| ayuba | cd home/ayuba/Downloads/driver: No such file or directory | 14:57 |
| ayuba | install.sh: command not found | 14:57 |
| ayuba | :(( | 14:57 |
| jimmy_birer | where is your tarball ayuba? | 14:57 |
| sandprickle | ah, thanks | 14:57 |
| dpac | How does ssh maintain a connection even after my computer is suspended and resumed? | 14:58 |
| Jonathon | ayuba, Alright, Just try right clicking the .sh file, there might be Execute in Terminal | 14:58 |
| jimmy_birer | dpac: it doesnt | 14:58 |
| Jonathon | Or run, Then Execute in terminal | 14:58 |
| Urulu | sandprickle, My pleasure; just hope someone can help. :) | 14:58 |
| studio | Jonathon | 14:59 |
| studio | ^^ | 14:59 |
| Urulu | sandprickle, Not only that, but I wanted to save you from the floodbots.. | 14:59 |
| dpac | jimmy_birer: That's what I had thought. And you wouldn't believe the sorcery that happened just now. There was a power cut, right? So no internet for me. So I suspended, I resumed after power came back, and lo and behold ssh was still there. | 14:59 |
| meekwarrior | Hey guys, Ive got a weird problem. I have 2 diffrent flavors of Linux installed. When i boot my PC everything works fine intill i get to GRUB. And my Keyboard stops working. so i cant change which OS to boot. as soon as OS boots Keyboard works again, Any ideas? | 14:59 |
| ayuba | ok | 14:59 |
| ayuba | wait | 15:00 |
| jimmy_birer | dpac:did the remote machine you ssh`d have the same IP? | 15:00 |
| ayuba | i want to try print test | 15:00 |
| studio | meekwarrior, are your directional keys broken? | 15:00 |
| Urulu | meekwarrior, Update grub? | 15:00 |
| meekwarrior | No my keys work fine | 15:00 |
| dpac | jimerickson: Same IP? It's my web server, so yes it has a static IP, if that's what you mean | 15:00 |
| meekwarrior | My lights on my keyboard goes out. so it doesnt even have power | 15:01 |
| dpac | jimmy_birer: Same IP? It's my web server, so yes it has a static IP, if that's what you mean | 15:01 |
| dpac | jimerickson: Oops, sorry. | 15:01 |
| pawdro | Is it safe to install ruby using apt-get? Or is it preferable to install using rvm ? | 15:01 |
| meekwarrior | Urulu, grub has worked fine for me. i just recently switched out PSU's | 15:01 |
| jimmy_birer | dpac: then ssh must have been reconnected | 15:01 |
| sandprickle | ... typing it in....... | 15:01 |
| Jonathon | studio, so Terminal works fine, but the File manager doesn't? | 15:01 |
| dpac | jimmy_birer: My private keys are protected by a passphrase | 15:02 |
| studio | Yes. | 15:02 |
| dpac | jimmy_birer: ssh-agent wasn't running | 15:02 |
| Jonathon | studio, Have you tried a different File Manager? | 15:02 |
| studio | I haven't actually tried to open the files, but I can browse them. | 15:02 |
| kelvinella | how to connect usb in virtualbox? | 15:02 |
| jimmy_birer | dpac: your ssh must`ve not send a disconnect event to your remote host | 15:02 |
| ayuba | ok thanks | 15:02 |
| Jonathon | studio, from terminal they should open fine, this is just a file manager problem | 15:03 |
| Urulu | meekwarrior, Not sure how/why a new PS would cause the symptoms that you're describing; not very helpful on my part, I know, sorry.. | 15:03 |
| kelvinella | i am using ubuntu 10.10 | 15:03 |
| jimmy_birer | dpac: and when you suspend your computer it saves anything on the RAM (including all the passphrases) | 15:03 |
| studio | Right, that's what I thought. I had trouble with it not mounting windows fils sys or external hdds or dvd drive earlier... | 15:03 |
| jimmy_birer | so when you resumed everything was good | 15:03 |
| dpac | jimmy_birer: That's possible, but it was a power cut. So my router turned off. There's no way my router can resume connections even after a power cut. And there's no way remote host would keep a connection active without keep-alive packets from me. | 15:03 |
| === neo_ is now known as neo___ | ||
| studio | lol this stupid update to 12.04 has broken this system in 35 ways over the course of the last two weeks. | 15:04 |
| meekwarrior | Sorry i Xed out. who ever pingned me please resend | 15:04 |
| Jonathon | studio, you should use terminal for mounting anyways :P | 15:04 |
| ayuba | hello world | 15:04 |
| jimmy_birer | dpac: ahh,didnt read the power-cut part. | 15:04 |
| Urulu | sandprickle, Use copy/ paste to pastebin or.. this.. | 15:04 |
| jimmy_birer | saint iGNUcius must`ve helped you | 15:04 |
| Urulu | !pastebinit | sandprickle | 15:04 |
| ubottu | sandprickle: 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 | 15:04 |
| ayuba | bravo can print already thank a lot | 15:04 |
| Jonathon | ayuba, good good, glad to hear ^^ | 15:04 |
| studio | Jonathon, I am pretty decent with terminal, but this pc is a recording studio with ubuntu studio used by a bunch of other people not so linux literate. | 15:05 |
| Urulu | sandprickle, Saves you from all that nasty typing. :) | 15:05 |
| noxy | bonjour a tous | 15:05 |
| Jonathon | studio, ahh, I see | 15:05 |
| dpac | jimmy_birer: It's mindboggling. I'll try asking on stackoverflow or something | 15:05 |
| studio | and I can't get jack to work to record music and can't access the home folder where all my recordings are, except indirectly through other programs, i.e. opening a file through a program.. | 15:05 |
| sandprickle | Urulu: thanks. this is happening during boot on a live cd tho... | 15:05 |
| jimmy_birer | dpac: yeah | 15:06 |
| studio | so it's basically useless until I get it fixed. | 15:06 |
| Jonathon | studio, Could you possibly try another File Manager to see if you get the same issue? Like Nautilus or PCmanFM | 15:06 |
| neo___ | I tried to change the ssh port in ssh_config on my vps and restarted ssh but it still working on port 22 | 15:06 |
| studio | Let me check. | 15:06 |
| Urulu | sandprickle, That's right; sorry I forgot. :( | 15:06 |
| sandprickle | Urulu: np :) | 15:06 |
| dvanamst | A question about the do-release-upgrade : I got a disk space error that's quite a weird. I got over 5 Gb free on my root partition and 222 on my /boot partition. Then I got the error saying I need to free about 1.1 Gb extra disk space to get the necessary 1.3. Looks like do-release-upgrade confuses my "/" with my "/boot" partition. I'm doing this remotely over SSH. Any suggestions ? | 15:07 |
| studio | I just tried another file manager, and it automatically gave the error 'transport endpoint is not connected' | 15:07 |

| loot | It seems that the non-nVidia XServer for my computer goes slow for this 2D GL app, but with a hard drive nvidia xserver, it goes fast and normal | 15:08 |
| neo___ | I tried to change the ssh port in ssh_config on my vps and restarted ssh but it still working on port 22 | 15:08 |
| Jonathon | studio, atleast it's consistent... | 15:08 |
| studio | but it shows the files >.> | 15:08 |
| loot | maybe reburn the live CD with the xserver | 15:08 |
| Jonathon | studio, yea? Good, try running one? | 15:08 |
| studio | umm.. all the files are empty. I think this is a problem I heard about when I was googling.. | 15:09 |
| studio | well, it was showing folders. | 15:09 |
| studio | not files | 15:09 |
| PePeR_ | does anyone know how to substitute the freedoom music for the orignal doom music | 15:09 |
| ubuntu | Hello! | 15:10 |
| Jonathon | studio, could you possibly boot a liveCD and run fsck? | 15:10 |
| studio | I got a .txt saved in /me dir to open, but can't see files in other folders | 15:10 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest81512 | ||
| studio | I have a knoppix live dvd on usb if that would do it, but don't have a ubuntu distro on hand atm. | 15:10 |
| studio | would that work | 15:10 |
| studio | ? | 15:10 |
| Jonathon | If it has fsck, it should work fine | 15:10 |
| Jonathon | just make sure your Hard Drive is UNMOUNTED when you run it | 15:11 |
| Jonathon | Otherwise bad things happen to good people :( | 15:11 |
| studio | ok. I think the problem may have just solved itself, though. | 15:11 |
| Jonathon | Oh? | 15:11 |
| studio | I heard that when the encryption/whatever fixes itself that it makes duplicates of all the standard /home folders and they take priority over the encrypted ones and the original encrypted ones aren't shown until you delete the duplicates. | 15:12 |
| studio | and that the new duplicate folders are empty. | 15:12 |
| Jonathon | Mmm, So you think that you were trying to access the Dupes then? | 15:13 |
| studio | And I have an few folders I've created that still show my files, so I;m thinking that's what happened. | 15:13 |
| Jonathon | Ahh | 15:13 |
| studio | No, I think that the system derped out and just now created the dupes while we were talking and fixed itself, because I couldn't even see the files before. | 15:13 |
| Jonathon | Ahh ok, So now you can see the files? | 15:14 |
| studio | well, actually, I guess it did happen before, because thunar still won't show the files, but the other will. | 15:14 |
| Jonathon | lol | 15:14 |
| Jonathon | Ok, Well try running the fsck if you can, I gotta run for a couple minutes | 15:14 |
| zykotic10 | studio: do you have "x" permission on the directory? | 15:14 |
| neo___ | I tried to change the ssh port in ssh_config on my vps and restarted ssh but it still working on port 22 | 15:15 |
| studio | x? what do you mean? | 15:15 |
| zykotic10 | studio: actually rx really - what is the permission on teh directory in question? "ls -ld /path" | 15:15 |
| dvanamst | Sorry to ask again but has anybody a thought about my "do-release-upgrade" problem ? It's occuring between a 11.10 and a 12.04 release ? | 15:16 |
| studio | drwxr -xr -x 5 root root 4096 is what is returned | 15:16 |
| zykotic10 | studio: root:root | 15:17 |
| zykotic10 | studio: but you should be able to enter and list the directory as anyone | 15:17 |
| studio | so it's owned by root? | 15:17 |
| zykotic10 | studio: yes | 15:17 |
| zykotic10 | studio: only root currently has write permission | 15:18 |
| studio | hmm.. weird. I had to change root password and enable root login earlier for some stuff. I wonder if that caused it. | 15:18 |
| JonEdney | I'm taking a look around Barnes & Noble, but I thought I saw something on the Ubuntu site, as far as books for learning the system..? | 15:18 |
| sandprickle | ah, looks like this might work: http://bit.ly/KSRGrn | 15:18 |
| studio | It also threw my NVIDIA drivers all outta whack and stuck my lappy screen to a 64x480 res.0 | 15:18 |
| m_bisson | Question... I have a htpc and want to run Ubuntu on it. Is there a way to make Netflix work? | 15:19 |
| studio | I'm thinking about installing 12.04 from scratch This update has ruined this system. | 15:19 |
| zykotic10 | m_bisson: (possibly out-of-date info) no, use a VM perhaps? | 15:20 |
| mikeh_ | anybody running mysql 5.0.96 on ubuntu 8.0.4? | 15:20 |
| zykotic10 | mikeh_: you might want to try #ubuntu-server (i'm assuming you are on server) | 15:22 |
| mikeh_ | recommendation on mod_sec install on 8.0.4 or alternative? | 15:22 |
| === rymate1234 is now known as rymate_1234 | ||

| mikeh_ | yup, ok thanks zykotic10 | 15:22 |
| mneptok | mikeh_: FYI, Ubuntu version numbers are dates. 8.04 was released April of 2008. so it's not 8.0.4. ;) | 15:24 |
| mikeh_ | thanks mneptok | 15:25 |
| kapz | why my prints from firefox are always slow? Even when there are no jobs pending. Changing job priority does not help either. On the contarary programs like libreoffice and gedit print almost instantly.. | 15:28 |
| mneptok | mikeh_: you will want to upgrade to 12.04 at some point. 8.04 -server will go EOL this time next year. 12.04 is the only LTS version that will be available until then. | 15:28 |
| mneptok | kapz: print an image from LibreOffice. | 15:29 |
| kapz | mneptok, did that, prints instantly. | 15:31 |
| Jonathon | kapz, I used to have that same problem with firefox in windows, Never could figure out why it did that | 15:32 |
| Jonathon | kapz, try possibly disconnecting the printer then reconnecting it? | 15:32 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest2448 | ||
| kapz | Jonathon, well it's going on since long time.. | 15:33 |
| Jonathon | kapz, Ahh | 15:34 |
| ohad_ | my wireless indicator disappeared from the systray (12.04). restart doesn't help/// | 15:34 |
| Jonathon | kapz, And when you try to print, what exactly do you mean by slow? Like the printer prints slowly, or it takes a long time for it to begin? | 15:34 |
| kapz | on a note, printing from epiphany too is sloooww | 15:34 |
| msgubuntu | hi there! I'm having trouble with my very first build and ubuntu. Can someone help? | 15:35 |
| kapz | it takes long time to begin | 15:35 |

| msgubuntu | I've got it running from a DVD right now, and it's fine | 15:35 |
| Jonathon | kapz, so only with browsers, but not image programs? | 15:35 |
| msgubuntu | but when I install it to my HD, it doesn't run correctly | 15:35 |
| kapz | nope | 15:35 |
| msgubuntu | might be the os, might not be... I'm not experienced enough to know the difference | 15:36 |
| Jonathon | msgubuntu, how so? does it not boot, or does it have graphical errors? | 15:36 |
| msgubuntu | graphical errors | 15:36 |
| msgubuntu | it looks like it's magnified 1000x | 15:36 |
| Jonathon | msgubuntu, you'll probably need to DL the driver for your video card then. If you can, after you install, look for a program called Additional drivers | 15:37 |
| mca_ | hi | 15:37 |
| msgubuntu | that seems likely -- is it something I can just grab off of the manufacture's site? | 15:37 |
| Jonathon | Evenin | 15:38 |

| Jonathon | msgubuntu, If you know exactly which card you have, You might be able to | 15:38 |

| spike30001 | could have been a bad install | 15:56 |
| spike30001 | got a hd6770 so things are running better now | 15:56 |
| Kaleidoscope | Good to hear, Should you get the chance, You should give 64bit a try again | 15:57 |
| mamece2 | have anyone try to set vlc remote on his iphone? | 15:58 |
| Kaleidoscope | Whenever I try to start up ubuntu, It goes alright, But right before the login screen comes up, it freezes << Still unsolved :( | 15:58 |
| Qualia | is xserver-xorg-video-radeon and ending with radeonhd the same thing ? | 15:58 |
| Kaleidoscope | Qualia, not exactly, no | 15:58 |
| Qualia | how can i activate this radeonhd... | 15:59 |
| Kaleidoscope | click activate? | 15:59 |
| Bsims | Qualia: install the raedon drivers? | 15:59 |
| Kaleidoscope | That too | 15:59 |
| spike30001 | I should, but just installed 32bit 12.04 last night, did a back up ages ago left on auto. Only forgot the password and you can't get any reminder so just a tip to you if you use ubuntu's backup either nopassword or tattoo it on your arm . | 15:59 |
| Qualia | im confused about which is which.. there's xorg radeonhd fglrx | 15:59 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, lol, Noted | 15:59 |
| Qualia | i need the opensource | 15:59 |
| Bsims | spike30001: ouch you encrypted it... wince | 16:00 |
| spike30001 | lol | 16:00 |
| Darkenvy | I'm trying to use gnome classic but the Unity bar keeps coming up unless I log into Gnome classic No Effects | 16:00 |
| spike30001 | yes encrypted 128 bit | 16:00 |
| spike30001 | no chance not even brute force | 16:00 |
| Bsims | spike30001: sorry man that data is just /gone/ | 16:00 |
| * Bsims grins back up the encryption key in the future to say a dvd/thumbdrive | 16:00 | |
| spike30001 | sure has lol | 16:00 |
| Darkenvy | All the sources on the internet state that I shouldnt have a problem. well more of they dont provide a solution because my problem is unique XD | 16:00 |
| Darkenvy | Is it safe to uninstall unity altogether on ubuntu 12.04? | 16:01 |
| cq75 | is there a way to get ubuntu's font on Windows? it looks great | 16:01 |
| cq75 | I miss it when I'm in windows actually | 16:01 |
| Darkenvy | windows blinds? | 16:01 |
| Darkenvy | I believe your in the wrong channel for that though my friend | 16:02 |
| spike30001 | Kaleidoscope how do i run gnome on ubuntu 12.04 | 16:02 |
| Bsims | Darkenvy: heh apt-get install kde... or lubuntu and not select it | 16:02 |
| cq75 | ah, sorry | 16:02 |
| Darkenvy | Bsims I dont want KDE or LXDE | 16:02 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, wish I knew, But I'm a Lubuntu guy | 16:02 |
| mneptok | cq75: Ubuntu fonts are freely redistributable. you can find the TTF files easily. | 16:02 |
| Bsims | Darkenvy: then install gnome panel | 16:03 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: why GNOME classic exactly? | 16:03 |
| Gnea | Darkenvy: make sure you install something, otherwise you will have no gui | 16:03 |
| mguy | cq75: They'll look differnet (slightly) because of the way each OS renders fonts | 16:03 |
| OerHeks | cq75, http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 16:03 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, after Ubuntu started using Unity, I switched to Lubuntu :P | 16:03 |
| raven | ffmpeg 12.04 unknown encoder libfaac - any ideas? | 16:03 |
| cq75 | awesome, thanks | 16:03 |
| Darkenvy | Bsims, I have gnome-panel installed. I get the correct gnome classic as it looks in ubuntu 10.04. However the Unity bar ALSO appears | 16:03 |
| spike30001 | i see ok no prob | 16:03 |
| Gnea | !e17 | Darkenvy (another alternative) | 16:03 |
| ubottu | Darkenvy (another alternative): Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. | 16:03 |
| Darkenvy | every guide and video online shows that the unity bar doesnt appear but it does on my computer | 16:03 |
| spike30001 | have tried lubuntu its nice | 16:03 |
| zykotic10 | raven: use ffmpeg from medibuntu - aac is disabled in ubuntu repos | 16:03 |
| Bsims | Darkenvy: install gnome fallback | 16:04 |
| Bsims | its the classic gnome | 16:04 |
| raven | zykotic10 how to enable it | 16:04 |
| spike30001 | also mint is nice, I have jumped to so many distros | 16:04 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, I love that it's resource usage is so minimal, I can get it down to like 300 megs used at times | 16:04 |
| zykotic10 | !medibuntu | raven | 16:04 |
| ubottu | raven: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 16:04 |
| spike30001 | excellent | 16:04 |
| Darkenvy | I have fallback installed | 16:04 |
| spike30001 | efficient | 16:04 |
| raven | zykotic10 ffmpeg is compiled by myself with x264 i need both | 16:04 |
| Darkenvy | Bsims classic gnome is up and running but Unity overlaps it. I have unity on top of my peanut butter | 16:05 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, Extremely, Compared to 1.2gigs on Windows and like 800megs on Ubuntu, It's great | 16:05 |
| zykotic10 | raven: well.. i can't suggest anything then. | 16:05 |
| Darkenvy | I have watched 6 videos on youtube and they all show that unity wont come up on 12. but on mine it does | 16:05 |
| mneptok | going through the efforct to try to get GNOME 2 installed is a massive waste. everyone is going to have to switch to something else at some point .... | 16:05 |
| raven | ffmpeg 12.04 unknown encoder libfaac - any ideas? | 16:05 |
| Darkenvy | (for installing Gnome classic/fallback) | 16:05 |
| Bsims | Darkenvy: try uninstalling it? | 16:05 |
| Darkenvy | thats what Im asking :). if its safe to uninstall unity on 12. or if its critical to the desktop build | 16:06 |
| Onixs | Liibfaad | 16:06 |
| cjaredrun | currently i am on some dedicated servers with 10.04LTS loaded on them. is there any danger in jumping directly up to 12.04 by using update-manager-core and do-release-upgrade? | 16:06 |
| spike30001 | yes thats low. I did install a long time ago when i was confused win vista now that really eats the memory and resorces | 16:06 |
| Bsims | Darkenvy: try uninstalling it... it will tell you what packages it will break if any | 16:06 |
| ohad_ | hi | 16:06 |
| spike30001 | worst o/s ever | 16:06 |
| Darkenvy | okay | 16:06 |
| mneptok | cjaredrun: any LTS should upgrade directly to another LTS. | 16:07 |
| Gnea | spike30001: word | 16:07 |
| cjaredrun | ok perfect mneptok. that's what i needed to know. | 16:07 |
| zykotic10 | cjaredrun: but not until the point release (by default) | 16:07 |
| spike30001 | yes | 16:07 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, I didn't even bother with Vista after all I heard, And seeing it on my moms Computer, I was like No way | 16:07 |
| cjaredrun | got it | 16:07 |
| cjaredrun | thanks all | 16:07 |
| dvanamst | Could someone help me with an issue with do-release-upgrade ? | 16:07 |
| ohad_ | the wireless indicator dissapeared from my upper tray (using 12.04). how can I bring it back? restart didn't help | 16:07 |
| mneptok | cjaredrun: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 16:07 |
| spike30001 | you did the right thing its the worst | 16:07 |
| cjaredrun | perfect, thanks mneptok | 16:07 |
| Bsims | spike30001: I will say windows 7 is actually good | 16:08 |
| Darkenvy | AHA! | 16:08 |
| spike30001 | Win7 64bit is superb | 16:08 |

| spike30001 | i have it on duel boot with ubuntu 12.04 | 16:08 |
| Darkenvy | CCSM had an option to disable unity! | 16:08 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: one last time before i go to deal with laundry. ;) GNOME 2 is a dead end. it is not developed. you will have to switch at some point, and all this effort right now is only a delaying tactic. and a waste, IMO. | 16:09 |
| spike30001 | do love linux | 16:09 |
| Darkenvy | Im not on gnome2? | 16:09 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, I am a little annoyed with my Lubuntu at the moment, I have to do a reinstall :( | 16:09 |
| spike30001 | noway | 16:09 |
| spike30001 | hows that | 16:09 |
| OerHeks | !nounity | 16:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 16:09 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: GNOME Classic is GNOME 2. not GNOME 3. | 16:10 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, something happened, And now I can't get to the login screen at all, It just freezes. | 16:10 |
| ndairou | hi all | 16:10 |
| Darkenvy | so by using gnome fallback I am using gnome2? | 16:10 |
| spike30001 | fustrating | 16:10 |
| MonkeyDust | mneptok looks like gnome2, but is gnome3 | 16:10 |
| spike30001 | have you tried boot repair cd | 16:10 |
| ndairou | i have got the last of ubuntu but | 16:10 |
| Darkenvy | (I have before today known that gnome2 is a deadend but didnt know gnome classic was 2 | 16:10 |
| Kaleidoscope | spke30001, I'm going to after I put Lubuntu on a USB real quick, If that fails though, It's reinstall time | 16:10 |
| Darkenvy | wait. so Gnome-fallback is gnome3 that looks like gnome2? | 16:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Darkenvy I use gnome classic, it's gnome3 but looks like gnome2 | 16:11 |
| spike30001 | well back up first and remember the password not like me | 16:11 |
| Darkenvy | Yes Im using Gnome Classic right now | 16:11 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: Fallback is just the panel, IIRC. Classic is the entire GNOME 2 stack. | 16:11 |
| ndairou | i always hav problem with this version | 16:11 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, That's another problem I gotta firgure out... | 16:11 |
| Darkenvy | I have fallback installed apparently | 16:11 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: you said Classic at some point, and that's what i saw. | 16:11 |
| Kaleidoscope | My home folder is encrypted, So I don't know how to access my files to back em up | 16:12 |
| spike30001 | with gaming on linux, its a pitty ID Software don't make there new engine open source it would make great compertition for directx | 16:12 |
| Darkenvy | I click gnome classic on my gdm | 16:12 |
| spike30001 | think its open gl 3 | 16:12 |
| spike30001 | and there working on a newer one | 16:12 |
| ndairou | do anybody know about ubuntu ultimate edition 3.2? | 16:12 |
| Darkenvy | hold on mneptok. can I PM you? | 16:12 |
| spike30001 | win7 ultimate edition didn't know there was a ubuntu one | 16:13 |
| zykotic10 | !derivatives | ndairou | 16:13 |
| ubottu | ndairou: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 16:13 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: does it look like this? - http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.32/figures/gnome-2-32.png.en | 16:13 |
| Darkenvy | no but I dont think thats a good test | 16:13 |
| xubuntu | hola | 16:14 |
| Darkenvy | let me pm you my installed gnome related packages | 16:14 |
| xubuntu | que | 16:14 |
| ndairou | ; thnkx for information | 16:14 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest78468 | ||
| mneptok | Darkenvy: i'm an XFCE user. these packages and what they do are not my strong point. but you need to decide if you wany Unity, GNOME 3, or some other WM/DE. | 16:14 |
| Darkenvy | well I will go with gnome3 | 16:14 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: start by reading how to get a pure GNOME 3 environment in Ubuntu. then remove anything you do not need. | 16:15 |
| Darkenvy | so if my gnome looks like ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 then im using gnome2? | 16:15 |
| Darkenvy | does gnime3 look like 10.04? | 16:15 |
| spike30001 | isn't xfce faster for older spec pc's | 16:15 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: in most cases, yes. Unity and GNOME 3 have a very different look and feel. | 16:15 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, both xfce and lxde are better for older PC's | 16:15 |
| spike30001 | think i ran it on a laptop once | 16:15 |
| Darkenvy | I have a Gnome login option btw. it looks much newer than gnome classic or unity | 16:15 |
| spike30001 | thank's :) | 16:16 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: that "newer" look is GNOME 3 | 16:16 |
| Darkenvy | so im fine then | 16:16 |
| spike30001 | ran puppy once that was fast on a low spec | 16:16 |
| spike30001 | runs off cd or usb handy | 16:16 |
| Darkenvy | I can use gnome2 till it deprecates and then log into gnome3 anyday XD | 16:16 |
| Kaleidoscope | I thought puppy used xfce, but I could be wrong | 16:16 |
| mneptok | Darkenvy: seemingly. still, read up on how to get a pure GNOME 3 in Ubuntu. | 16:16 |
| spike30001 | could be it was fast on old spec | 16:17 |
| Darkenvy | okay. thanks | 16:17 |

| ndairou | is there anyone who can speak french? i hav a question but my english is very poor!! | 16:17 |

| mneptok | Darkenvy: but those Fallback and Classic modes are a dead end at some point. | 16:17 |
| spike30001 | not as flashy as the up market distros | 16:17 |
| Darkenvy | for how long? | 16:17 |
| spike30001 | core 2 are good | 16:17 |
| Kaleidoscope | spike30001, I prefer performance than flashy :P | 16:18 |

| spike30001 | true both is nice though if possible | 16:18 |
| ndairou | ok merci encore | 16:18 |
| Kaleidoscope | Spike30001, Yea | 16:18 |
| zykotic10 | Darkenvy: ask the gnome devs - they've said that fallback is only temporary | 16:18 |
| mneptok | ndairou: de rien. | 16:18 |
| Darkenvy | okay okay ;) | 16:18 |
| spike30001 | but if i have a low spec the i totally agree | 16:18 |
| PePeR_ | does anyone know how to substitute the freedoom music for the orignal doom music | 16:18 |
| Darkenvy | Another question: Alternatives for Xinerama? Multimonitor support under same X? | 16:19 |

| MonkeyDust | dvanamst i think you have more than one kernel installed in / | 16:34 |
| killtrace | so I need to uncheck all ppa? | 16:35 |
| Bsims | killtrace: I'd suggest upgrading with this in a terminal " sudo apt-get install update-manager-core " " sudo do-release-upgrade -d " I've never had good luck with the gui upgrade tools | 16:35 |
| Kaleidoscope | Yea, Problem is a little more worse than that | 16:35 |
| KM0201 | Kaleidoscope: what do you mean | 16:35 |
| dvanamst | MonkeyDust : I already removed the extra kernels only keeping the last two | 16:35 |
| mguy | dvanamst: you have 97% full on / | 16:35 |
| killtrace | ok I will try Bsims | 16:35 |
| mneptok | dvanamst: /boot is not the problem. / is. | 16:35 |
| Kaleidoscope | Not even Sudo can access any of the files, And trying to run fsck as Sudo returns Read Only errors, It's refusing to mount as anything other than Read Only | 16:35 |
| mguy | The colums go Total size, used, free, % used | 16:35 |
| Bsims | killtrace: IIRC the command line one will automaticaly disable/change the PPA's for you | 16:35 |

| dvanamst | feeling quite stupid now :) | 16:36 |

| dvanamst | mguy : no it's a small dual boot system | 16:37 |
| Kaleidoscope | Bsims, Tried that too | 16:37 |
| Bsims | or runing fsck from the live cd | 16:37 |
| mguy | dvanamst: Go for 20GB + next time | 16:37 |
| Kaleidoscope | Bsims, And that | 16:37 |
| killtrace | can u write that command? | 16:37 |

| Kaleidoscope | I have the feeling I'm just gonna have to format and lose everything... | 16:38 |
| Bsims | killtrace: in a terminal " sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade -d " | 16:38 |

| BLZbubba | in precise, if I move a window to the edge of the screen it moves to the next virtual workspace | 16:41 |
| Bsims | killtrace: then do this... " sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade -d " | 16:41 |
| sonsee | 2 joint . I think its a fglrx problem, because it does not freeze on radeon drivers. But there is no way of using them without video accel and good power managment. | 16:41 |
| BLZbubba | however, if I right click the title bar and move it to the next virtual workspace, the window just disappears forever | 16:41 |
| BLZbubba | is there a way to fix this? | 16:42 |

| Resistance | !notunity | mister2 | 17:05 |
| ubottu | mister2: 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 | 17:05 |
| mister2 | resistance i'm aware, i haven't bothered to deal with it | 17:06 |

| escott | meco, thats a kernel/hardware bug. basically you lost a cpu, be glad the system didnt crash on you | 17:18 |
| escott | meco, in that case its the gpu that hung so your gui is/has crashed | 17:18 |
| meco | escott: I thought I didn't have a gpu on this computer. | 17:18 |
| escott | meco, everyone has a gpu, you have to. you just have one that is built into the cpu so its not on a separate riser card | 17:19 |

| mme | please how can i install GRUB2 Editor | 17:22 |
| escott | meco, im surprised that your gui is at all functional, but yes it could very well explain things. vlc is likely using some gpu video features and the driver is doing something wrong so it is hanging the gpu. you could change the rendering method of vlc (to something other than xvideo either gl or direct x11) | 17:22 |

| escott | rabbi1, there are 4 commands. apt-get update (downloads list of new packages) upgrade installs new packages dist-upgrade installs new packages that can't be installed through upgrade (things like a new version of apt), do-release-upgrade changes you from one ubuntu version to another (11.10 to 12.04 etc) | 17:26 |

| escott | jsd, window matching maybe. dont use it myself | 17:34 |
| jsd | each time I open a window it appears on left side of screen | 17:34 |
| jsd | kind of annoying, used to the ctrl-shift window save in xp | 17:34 |
| NewBuntu | @escott mdadm --status the parameter is not recognized | 17:35 |

| _Tristan | I have to remove a package and then reinstall a newer version with .debs. How can I remove the package without removing it's dependencies? | 17:40 |
| _Tristan | or at least, without having to reconfigure them if I have to reinstall them? | 17:40 |
| krababbel | _Tristan: did you try just installing it? | 17:41 |
| kul123 | Hello everyone, Need small help. How to connect internet using AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G (AC313U) on Ubuntu/Mint? -- Thanks in advance. | 17:41 |
| _Tristan | the .deb packages? | 17:41 |
| amebaspugnosa | Rvdz: full freeze, I gonna look in /var/log thx I believe it is the kernel that was compiled with 4K stacks disabled | 17:41 |
| krababbel | _Tristan: yes | 17:41 |
| _Tristan | krababbel: for some reason the whole thing needs to be done in a very specific order... here's what I'm doing http://blog.siansiew.com/2011/08/30/installing-mysql-5-5-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty/ | 17:41 |
| echo083 | a gz file can contains two files ? | 17:42 |
| quixotedon | freijon: check software center "lord of ultima" | 17:42 |
| mguy | echo083: no, but a tar.gz can | 17:42 |
| NewBuntu | or maybe I shall remove the software raid and re-add to assemble my array? because all assemble commands are not working in mdadm | 17:42 |
| freijon | did that. when I click it it tells me that the package doesn't exist | 17:42 |
| freijon | I already did "apt-get update" | 17:43 |
| === Guest97662 is now known as Dorito | ||
| krababbel | _Tristan: did you try just doing the command he posted? | 17:43 |
| echo083 | mguy, my archive size is 7G i click on it in my file explorer it shows a single of 3G | 17:43 |
| _Tristan | it'll remove php5-mysql, sphinxsearch, phpmyadmin, and some other things which I need | 17:43 |
| echo083 | mguy, i tries to rename it to tar.gz but tar says it is not a valid archive | 17:43 |
| krababbel | _Tristan: you can more easily track package dependecies in aptitude | 17:43 |
| NewBuntu | I have also tried: mdadm --assemble /dev/mdX /dev/sdaX /dev/sdbX --force | 17:44 |
| NewBuntu | this returns: mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdb1: Device or resource busy mdadm: /dev/sdb1 has no superblock - assembly aborted | 17:44 |
| _Tristan | krababbel: I know, I'm just not sure how I can prevent it from uninstalling certain things as part of the resolution | 17:44 |
| quixotedon | freijon: i'm trying update and install now.. :) | 17:44 |
| freijon | quixotedon: let me know if it works | 17:45 |
| quixotedon | freijon: will do.. :) | 17:45 |
| krababbel | _Tristan: so you want to remove packages withou installing them back anymore, and expect other packages which depend on the first, to work? I doubt it will work, a package will need a depency to work. | 17:45 |
| krababbel | _Tristan: you can hold packages in aptitude | 17:46 |
| NewBuntu | I can't even stop the raid array: root@srvubuntu0:/tank/share# sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm: Cannot get exclusive access to /dev/md0:Perhaps a running process, mounted filesystem or active volume group? | 17:46 |
| cuthbert | hi alll | 17:46 |
| _Tristan | krababbel: I'm going to remove mysql with aptitude, then install it with dpkg | 17:46 |
| NewBuntu | maybe because my operating system is mounted on this? | 17:46 |
| krababbel | _Tristan: so just remember those which got removed and you still want. :) install them again afterwards | 17:46 |
| _Tristan | won't their data be removed as well? or no? | 17:47 |
| Fezzler | I have an old AMD K6 26^ computer that ran earlier verisons of Ubuntu fine. It doesn't have enough power to run newer verisons. Should I just covert it to a file server? | 17:47 |

| mcurran | I have to hold ctl and individually click every file/folder | 17:49 |
| quixotedon | :( | 17:49 |
| NewBuntu | I'm trying to use the ubuntu disc with recovery option, maybe it will work that way to fix software raid... | 17:49 |
| krababbel | _Tristan: dpkg should be able to list all files of a package, but user config shouldn't be a problem, just backup it for good measure. | 17:49 |
| Fezzler | DJones> I have thought about them abd Puupy Linux, Slacko, Slatz, Damn Small Linux and Arch Linux...confusing | 17:49 |
| DJones | Fezzler: I've got an oldish machine with only 512Mb of ram, that grinds to a halt with ubuntu & unity, but flys along with lubuntu | 17:49 |
| Fezzler | DJones> Can I install any of those right "over" Ubuntu? I think 11 is on there now. | 17:50 |
| NewBuntu | Ok, I just selected "Assemble RAID array" in the rescue mode of ubuntu server, not working, it falls back to the overview option | 17:50 |
| wylde_ | Fezzler: you can just install and use the appropriate desktop, the base packages are the same. | 17:50 |
| wylde_ | Fezzler: eg. sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 17:51 |
| Fezzler | wylde_> I think I had a special kernel for audio recording. DOes that matter? | 17:51 |
| Fezzler | wylde_> So will all the old Ubuntu files be removed? | 17:52 |
| DJones | forzan: You should be able to, I installed the lxde desktop and just selected it at the login screen | 17:52 |
| wylde_ | Fezzler: not if you're not changing the kernel. Installing the desktop doesn't affect the kernel or base packages at all. | 17:52 |
| Fezzler | wylde_> cleaned up? | 17:52 |
| DJones | Fezzler: : You should be able to, I installed the lxde desktop and just selected it at the login screen | 17:52 |
| DJones | Sorry forzan, mis-tab-complete | 17:52 |
| Fezzler | wylde_> So the desktop is what is bogging down the old CPU, not the "base" kernel etc. or system | 17:53 |
| wylde_ | Fezzler: if you want to remove the "ubuntu-desktop" there's some links at the followinf factoid. | 17:53 |

| Duality | hi | 17:56 |
| Fezzler | Well, price of storage has droppd so much, it may not be worth electric bill and complexity to use Ubuntu to turn an older PC into a network server to simply store files. | 17:56 |
| NewBuntu | in initramfs: mdadm --assemble /dev/mdX /dev/sdaX /dev/sdbX --force -> says /dev/md0 has been rstarted with 1 drive (out of 2), but doesn't assemble anything | 17:56 |

| Fezzler | wylde_> Right! That is what I was thinking. So, what do I install? | 17:57 |

| Fezzler | wylde_> Yes...but I don't think anything critical or a lot...iTunes backup and some pics and files...nothing critical | 17:59 |
| kul123 | Has anyone even tried it? | 17:59 |
| wylde_ | Fezzler: if so back it up, and use the server installation disk. It won't install a gui. Just be sure to add openssh-server. Then you can do all your administration from a remote desktop. | 17:59 |
| Fezzler | wylde_> Or nothing I couldn't burn to CD | 17:59 |

| wylde | cc11rocks: yeah, I had to re-read your initial question, seems more compiz related then driver. | 18:35 |
| cc11rocks | How can I fix the issue from Unity 2D then? | 18:35 |
| wylde | cc11rocks: moment, I'm not sure I've had no compiz issues for quite a long while. | 18:36 |

| Muelli | amebaspugnosa: I think (but I don't don't know) that ndiswrapper is generally not supported. It's an ugly hack that you are only supposed to use in very very very desparate cases. | 18:36 |

| cc11rocks | So if it's not by default, no. All I've done is updated repos and packages. And it wasn't even working BEFORE the updates either | 18:38 |
| hannes_ | can annyone help me with that? | 18:38 |
| Muelli | numberto: alright. Well, in general please try to imagine our position. In order to help you, we need proper details and error messages. Obviously, "can't install xulrunner" doesn't have enough information to help you. What is the error message? | 18:39 |
| amebaspugnosa | Muelli: thx for the info. Just need to find a log to see why the PC is freezing, any idea? | 18:39 |
| waxstone | Need advise setting up of gtx 680 card on 12.04 . I get "GLX missing on display" error with the nvidia proprietary driver | 18:39 |
| Muelli | amebaspugnosa: well. "dmesg" or syslog in /var/log. Or any other log in there, really. | 18:39 |
| krababbel | cc11rocks: you haven't probably, you're right. good luck, if you card isn't supported then :( | 18:39 |
| wylde | cc11rocks: I know I've read a few bugs/answers about that issue, I just can't recall where heh. Looking on askubuntu.com right now. | 18:40 |
| krababbel | waxstone: is you card even supported by the driver version you have? | 18:40 |
| Muelli | hannes_: while this is not an ubuntu questoin, it might help you to know that 403 is the status code for "unauthorized". Maybe you forgot to put your credentials somewhere. | 18:40 |
| el_seano | while ubuntu was still using gnome2, most of its settings interfaces were controlled through gconf registry. Since Unity, it looks like gconf registry is still being utilized, but to a lesser extent. My question, where and/or how is Ubuntu storing its settings like power-management and so on? | 18:40 |
| numberto | Muelli: sorry, I am testing a program on my computer (ubuntu 12.04) and one of its requirements is xulrunner (the program is a deb file itself, not from a repo). I did a search but couldn't find a way how to install it. | 18:40 |
| waxstone | krababbel, yes | 18:40 |
| el_seano | any clues? | 18:40 |
| Muelli | numberto: what did you do, what did you expect and what happened instead? | 18:41 |
| cc11rocks | "failed to load module 'nvidia' (already loaded, -1217402805)" | 18:41 |
| cc11rocks | That's in the Xorg.0.log file... | 18:41 |
| cc11rocks | Appears multiple times | 18:41 |
| wylde | cc11rocks: sounds like the driver is trying to load itself multiple times. Perhaps 'sudo purge nvidia-current' and re-install will help? | 18:42 |
| Resistance | how can i easily find the size for an entire folder and its subdirectories and files on the drive via commandline, for a specific directory path to start from? | 18:42 |
| waxstone | It is the the nvidia proprietary driver for linux why wouldnt it be? | 18:42 |
| krababbel | waxstone: glx missing looks like missing driver, did you try https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/+packages ? | 18:42 |
| krababbel | waxstone: because it is so new | 18:43 |

| numberto | Muelli: I have source code to compile and in manual it say to do "sudo apt-get install git autoconf xulrunner-dev libboost-dev libpcap-dev hal libhal-dev ". It installed everything and gave "E: Unable to locate package xulrunner-dev" for xulrunner | 18:43 |
| cc11rocks | Removing, reinstalling, booting... | 18:43 |
| krababbel | waxstone: go to a terminal and purge 'nvidia-current' and install it again, maybe look for some errors during installation | 18:43 |
| waxstone | krababbel, the driver is definitly specific to the gtx 680. ill try a fresh install of the driver after purge as you suggest | 18:44 |
| cc11rocks | To change password, "sudo psswd account" correct? | 18:45 |
| Muelli | hm numberto. According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xulrunner&searchon=names the xulrunner package was last seen in natty. I don't know but the contents probably went somewhere else. | 18:45 |

| wylde | bobweaver: yeah I know 100% I read about that being possible, the hard part is remembering where I read it heh. | 19:30 |
| cc11rocks | After installation of the package, restart correct? | 19:31 |
| trism | cc11rocks: yes | 19:31 |
| trism | cc11rocks: may want to check dkms status first to make sure the module was updated | 19:31 |
| cc11rocks | I got some warning and BUG messages...Is that okay? | 19:32 |
| psusi | totemuh1oats, hrm... I thought aplay still worked directly with the alsa kernel driver, it it looks like it now goes through pulseaudio, which I think normally is only started when you log in... you'd need to get it running as a system wide daemon instead of per session | 19:33 |

| totemuh1oats | psusi, yea i had a suspicion that was it, but I can't seem to figure out how. i changed daemoniz = no to daemonize = yes in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf | 19:34 |
| totemuh1oats | but it didn't work | 19:34 |
| psusi | totemuh1oats, I still don't really understand pulseaudio either | 19:35 |
| === authenticated is now known as Uprising | ||
| totemuh1oats | psusi, could i just remove pulse? or will it break things? | 19:35 |

| zivester | does ubuntu server default to not upgrade the kernel with an `apt-get upgrade` its showing the linux-server packages as being held back | 19:47 |
| zykotic10 | zivester: you probably need "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" for new kernel stuff | 19:47 |
| trism | zivester: upgrading the kernel requires installing new packages generally, so you need to use apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:47 |
| Daekdroom | zivester, they are held back because they require to install new packages | 19:47 |
| Duality | wylde, at the moment i am reinstalling windows | 19:47 |
| zivester | just shows "linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" which I think are normal kernel packages.. does it always do that? | 19:48 |
| wylde | Duality: it should work now | 19:48 |
| trism | zivester: those are only the metapackages, the actual kernel packages look like: linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic | 19:49 |

| Duality | besides that wylde, this on your site:VBoxHeadless startvm Win2k should be VBoxHeadless --startvm Win2k ? | 19:51 |
| wylde | Duality: Win2k = whatever you named your VM. | 19:51 |
| Duality | wylde yes i know :) | 19:51 |
| wylde | Duality: oh another typo? lol | 19:52 |
| Duality | but i can't start it with just startvm i need to type --startvm :) | 19:52 |
| dualmac | Hi!, im planning on dual booting OSX and ubuntu on my mac. I have rEFIt installed and everything, just wondering what partition the bootloader goes on. | 19:52 |
| Duality | VBoxHeadless --startvm "Win7" is mine | 19:52 |

| Zemo | ThinkT510: isnt ubuntu debian based? | 20:18 |

| Zzzssss | i have add few rules in UFW.. but now i have doubt that it will get clean on server reboot ? is it | 20:23 |
| Zzzssss | so tell me that either ufw command save to rules or they just add temporarly ? | 20:24 |
| FGC415 | Hello all. Can someone point me to a good uninstallation guide for ubuntu 12.04 LTS? I installed it using the windows installer. | 20:26 |
| cc11rocks | FDC415 : Boot into Windows. Go to Add and Remove Programs (or an equivanent). Find Ubuntu or something like it. Click it, and click "Uninstall" | 20:28 |

| FGC415 | Thank you all for your helo! | 20:28 |

| positr0nix_ | yeah :) | 20:29 |
| hans2 | i have some problems with wifi driver | 20:29 |
| positr0nix_ | this is normal :S | 20:29 |
| Zzzssss | any one ? | 20:30 |
| Zzzssss | ufw command by default save its new rules or not.. after reboot hav to again insert rules ? | 20:30 |
| hans2 | i read i have to use windows drivers but I failed | 20:30 |
| positr0nix_ | search driver wifi on internet | 20:30 |
| hans2 | I done but it still dont workas | 20:31 |
| hans2 | works | 20:31 |
| hans2 | I had an wiki manual for a quite similar hardware | 20:31 |
| Zemo | ThinkT510: in the alternate cd i can isntall kde? | 20:36 |
| ThinkT510 | Zemo: not sure, hang on | 20:37 |
| Zzzssss | hmm people.. it save rules in ufw .. even it works after reboot.. so let it know :) | 20:39 |
| ThinkT510 | Zemo: i think you might need a kubuntu alternate cd in that case, just checking now | 20:39 |
| ThinkT510 | Zemo: yeah, you'd need kubuntu alternate | 20:40 |
| Zemo | ThinkT510: why are they recomending 32 bits? | 20:41 |
| ThinkT510 | Zemo: a lot of people still use 32bit, if people are in doubt over either then 32bit will work | 20:41 |
| Zemo | ThinkT510: what? | 20:42 |
| ThinkT510 | Zemo: 64bit will not work on a 32bit processor | 20:42 |
| Zemo | ThinkT510: of course not, but why are you saying that? | 20:42 |
| Luceo | If people don't know what to pick, 32bit is safe | 20:43 |
| ThinkT510 | Zemo: because people can get confused as to whether they have a 32bit processor or not | 20:43 |

| PW-toXic | hi, i am using back in time for hardlink backups. I'd like to "copy" all of my snapshops to a new hard drive, while keeping the hard links for the same files. How could i do this? | 20:47 |
| PW-toXic | one snapshop has about 800.000 files and about 70GB | 20:47 |
| llutz | PW-toXic: rsync -H..... | 20:47 |
| virtuaposta | yeah PW-toXic, llutz's suggestion will work... rsync again rocks!! :) | 20:48 |
| PW-toXic | virtuaposta, but i dont understand it ;( what am i suposed to do? ;) | 20:49 |
| virtuaposta | do rsync for backups PW-toXic :) | 20:49 |
| PW-toXic | virtuaposta, back in time uses rsync | 20:49 |
| PW-toXic | virtuaposta, thats not the point | 20:49 |
| virtuaposta | PW-toXic, i meant for copy with guarantee :) | 20:49 |
| virtuaposta | lol PW-toXic can you describe more... all I collected is about copy the things :-/ | 20:50 |
| PW-toXic | virtuaposta, the question is how do i tell rsync, that it is supposed to use the files that are found in a previous snapshot | 20:50 |
| llutz | PW-toXic: rsync -Hax /path/to/old-snapshots /path/to/new/snapshotdrive | 20:50 |
| PW-toXic | llutz, "dont cross file system boundaries" what does this mean | 20:51 |
| PW-toXic | (-x) | 20:51 |
| llutz | PW-toXic: if your sources includes different filesystems, it won't copy those | 20:52 |
| PW-toXic | llutz, so why use this option? | 20:52 |
| llutz | PW-toXic: if you don't need it, don't use it | 20:52 |
| PW-toXic | the old backups are found on a 5TB Raid (6*1TB) and i want to copy them to a new EXT4 3TB single drive | 20:53 |
| PW-toXic | sorry if i ask too many questions, but what exactly does archive mode mean? :d | 20:53 |

| robrecht | Hi guys, I just installed ubuntu server 12.04 but whenever I try to install a package I get `E: Unable to locate package x`. I have a connection(checked with ping), also did `sudo apt-get update`. It didn't change anything. But the update command did output something strange though: https://gist.github.com/2669083 . Does anyone kno how to solve this problem? | 21:11 |
| EvilResistance | wylde: Luceo: card info @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/984325 | 21:12 |
| virtuaposta | robrecht, which package you trying to install? | 21:12 |

| Luceo | EvilResistance: So you want the nvidia proprietary blob? | 21:12 |
| StryKaizer | I installed a custom app (in /opt/myapp), how can I add this app, so I can launch it by pressing the win-key and typing part of the appname? | 21:12 |
| EvilResistance | Luceo: i'll need the nvidia drivers | 21:12 |
| EvilResistance | always have had to install before | 21:12 |
| EvilResistance | lemme reboot though, first... | 21:12 |
| EvilResistance | i need to see if the apt-get update && apt-get upgrade worked | 21:13 |
| Luceo | sudo apt-get install nvidia-current afaik | 21:13 |
| robrecht | virtuaposta: I get it the same message for any package I try to install | 21:13 |
| cc11rocks | When I'm taking notes, sometimes I will use a TTY terminal and nano to do so. I haven't found a way to shut off X.org or lightdm or whatever resides on TTY7 (GUI) | 21:13 |

| wylde | EvilResistance: thats what I had as well, I could login to guest just not my own account. | 21:16 |
| EvilResistance | Luceo: black screen, TTY screen, login screen | 21:17 |
| cc11rocks | Scratch that...I just restarted... | 21:17 |
| Luceo | Can you login to your account on tty? | 21:17 |

| hans2 | first installed ndiswrapper ,than i took the driver for my hardware from this site http://www.marvell.com/support/downloads/search.do, than tryed to install .inf but just got an error | 21:18 |
| Luceo | And can log into guest session in tty? | 21:18 |
| wylde | EvilResistance: the it must have been the drivers that fixed my issue. All I have sorry :/ I never did dig to find out the cause once I got in. | 21:18 |
| totesmuhgoats | could i remove pulseaudio from ubuntu? or would it cause major breakage? | 21:18 |
| robrecht | virtuaposta:yes | 21:18 |
| Luceo | EvilResistance: You can log into guest on tty and X, user account on tty but not X | 21:19 |
| robrecht | I didn't do anything in between | 21:19 |
| virtuaposta | robrecht, check the message | 21:19 |
| Jordan_U | Furritus: Do you have more than one flash drive, or can you burn a CD with Ubuntu's installer? The most straightforward solution is to just install Ubuntu how you would to an internal drive. | 21:19 |
| EvilResistance | Luceo: i dont use guest on CLI. I can get into my own user via TTY, and into guest via X, but cannot get into user via X | 21:19 |
| Luceo | EvilResistance: What WM/DE are you using? | 21:19 |
| Furritus | alright jordan u ill try that | 21:20 |

| Ravenslock | Hi, how is it that in Ubuntu the wireless just works, but when I tried setting it up in Arch Linux it does not work on my Acer Aspire 1 Netbook? The wireless uses ath5k driver. While reading up on the ArchWiki, its a whole big issue: something to do with recompiling wpa_supplicant, downloading the latest ath5k drivers, getting the kernel headers??? ??? ??? | 22:31 |

| newb100 | How do reach an external hard drive in command line | 22:33 |
| llutz | NoobTux: /var/log contains 14GB of files, you should be safe to remove those *.gz | 22:34 |
| Walex | Ravenslock: for stupid reasons many chip designers create many slightly incompatible variants of the same chip, so drivers have to have a lot of special case handling, Some distros keep adding the special cases... | 22:34 |
| newb100 | How do I reach an external hard drive in command line? | 22:34 |
| escott | newb100, you have to mount it with either sudo mount /dev/sdX# /media/mountpoint or udisks --mount /dev/sdX# | 22:34 |

| Jordan_U | newb100: "sudo blkid" to find the device name then "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/" and it will be available in /mnt/. | 22:39 |
| Walex | Ravenslock: probably either you are using a 'backported' kernel, or 'backported' modules. Ubuntu has specifically sets of wireless backported modules with more variants covered. | 22:39 |

| Jordan_U | newb100: You're welcome. | 22:42 |
| Walex | Ravenslock: no, both because as a rule modules are "signed" by the distro, and because they are usually compiled for specific kernel versions and configurations. | 22:43 |
| NoobTux | llutz, so what will i do? | 22:43 |
| llutz | NoobTux: pastebin "ls -l /var/log" | 22:43 |

| NoobTux | llutz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/984472/ | 22:45 |
| wylde | Athanasius: and what is that suppoed to do ( I don't do random keypresses just because someone on irc said to). :) | 22:45 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 7 on my computer. Both are 64-bits. I wanted to install without modifying partitions, but I haven`t found anything about how to do this. | 22:45 |
| llutz | NoobTux: sudo rm /var/log/*.1 | 22:45 |
| Athanasius | wylde: A unicode-ish box character appears in the search box, says "00\n12" in a box where \n is a newline | 22:46 |
| llutz | NoobTux: check your ufs-settings and reduce/stop logging | 22:46 |
| llutz | ufw* NoobTux | 22:46 |
| Athanasius | Not any big deal but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't work that way | 22:46 |
| escott | Nick_Kaedalus, buy another hard drive | 22:46 |
| wylde | Athanasius: yep, worth I bug report I suppose. | 22:46 |
| NoobTux | llutz, how? | 22:46 |
| wylde | a* not I | 22:46 |
| llutz | NoobTux: read the documentation :) i don't know, i don't use it | 22:47 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | If I install while resizing partitions, will this cause any trouble when running Windows | 22:47 |
| escott | Nick_Kaedalus, usually no | 22:47 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | (I`m trying to type the question mark, but it doesn`t seem to be working...) | 22:47 |
| NoobTux | now i got 5GB llutz | 22:47 |
| NoobTux | thank you | 22:47 |
| NoobTux | :P | 22:47 |
| NoobTux | hehe | 22:47 |
| FloodBot1 | NoobTux: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:47 |
| llutz | NoobTux: you also want to check logrotate-config, syslog/messages should be rotated earlier, it becomes to big (imho) | 22:47 |
| escott | Nick_Kaedalus, you should always take backups before anything that messes with partitions, but most of the time you can safely resize and windows wont care | 22:48 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | I see. Thanks. | 22:48 |
| NoobTux | how and where can i see those stuffs? | 22:48 |
| llutz | NoobTux:check /etc/logrotate.conf or /etc/logrotate.conf.d/* | 22:49 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | Ah, if I use the WUBI, the one that downloads it again when in windows. | 22:49 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | It shouldn`t resize partitions, right | 22:49 |
| llutz | NoobTux: i have no idea about ufw, but someone here should know where the configs are | 22:49 |
| escott | Nick_Kaedalus, wubi creates a disk image inside ntfs and loop mounts that. i would recommend using vbox over wubi | 22:49 |
| escott | llutz, /etc/ufw | 22:50 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | Hm... Ok. Thanks for all the info. =3 | 22:50 |
| wylde | !ufw | 22:50 |
| llutz | NoobTux: [00:50:06] <escott> llutz, /etc/ufw <- so check that too | 22:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 22:50 |
| NoobTux | llutz, im in logrotate.conf in gedit | 22:51 |
| NoobTux | what now? | 22:51 |
| llutz | NoobTux: check the settings affecting /var/log/syslog (messages and kern.log) | 22:52 |
| llutz | NoobTux: most likely in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog | 22:53 |
| NoobTux | llutz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/984486/ <--- that's the only thing inside | 22:53 |

| escott | !gksudo | NoobTux | 22:57 |
| ubottu | NoobTux: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:57 |
| Guest53387 | Is there any intuitive text to speech programs anyone would suggest? | 22:57 |

| zykotic10 | seroki: if you want to upgrade everything on your system - that's the method | 23:01 |
| hash | zykotic10 i thought that was the apt-get way to change versions | 23:02 |
| Tigerboy | Seroki: also dist-upgrade allows you to get the fullest upgrade-- oft times you see the entry at the end of apt-get upgrade 5 items ignored or something like that -- to get those you must do apt-get dist-upgrade | 23:02 |

| hash | zykotic10 what is the proper way to upgrade other then a clean install | 23:03 |
| KommaH | So I restarted it (safely). | 23:03 |
| Tigerboy | you might need to do apt-get dist-upgrade once a week depending upon packages you have installed. I find kernel upgrades require a dist-upgrade to finish completely | 23:04 |
| newb100 | How do you rename files in command line? | 23:04 |
| KommaH | How do I check if my server had a kernel panic or not? | 23:04 |
| escott | NoobTux, rotations are on a schedule, so just keep fewer of them, but if you have many gigs it is because you are logging too much or you have some error that is generating a large number of repetitive log events (ie kernel messages multiple times a second) | 23:04 |
| zykotic10 | hash: sorry that's a question for someone else to answer (i personally think updating ubuntu to new versions is a bad idea) | 23:04 |

| hash | yea | 23:06 |
| wylde | NoobTux: that's what I have in my logrotate.conf. Possibly you disable logrotate somehow? My /var/log is only ~21MB on all my systems. | 23:06 |
| escott | NoobTux, the logrotate.conf is fairly intuitive. im not sure how else to describe it | 23:07 |
| DjKiDD | so I'm not the only one? | 23:07 |
| ring0 | hash, i'd always do a clean install. upgrading usually involves problem till the first point release, 12.04.1 f.e. | 23:07 |
| Tigerboy | pie_: I would guess put a delay of some time so you don't open the links too quickly | 23:07 |
| DjKiDD | zykotic10, I'm not sure what you are refering to | 23:08 |
| newb100 | if you copying a number of files with cp and you want to see the progress can you tack somthing? | 23:08 |
| wylde | DjKiDD: delete the ~/.Xauthority file | 23:08 |
| hash | ring0: the original install was a pain did it on an external that i had to partition manually and the other half is files | 23:08 |

| DjKiDD | ok just making sure | 23:12 |

| wylde | Duality: I don't use windows at all, I havent for the past year, and only ever used win7 getting my mother's new PC setup. AFAIK, windows authentication is now done against the hardware it is installed on, and only allows it to be used on that hardware(at least without calling MS support). SO, the authorization agent will see your VM as it being installed on a separate machine altogether. | 23:33 |
| virtuaposta | phillyj, depends over the future perspectives... else you can dedicate any kind of partition schema and can modify accordingly :P | 23:34 |
| mrgt | okay installed vlc player, tried restricted formats but still no luck with .m4v files. | 23:34 |
| Duality | wylde i see, but how does that affect windows activation? (i used this key on several machines in the past, and i tried a few now, still says that it can't connect, while i can surf on the internet) | 23:34 |
| DjKiDD | are ports forwarded? | 23:35 |
| DjKiDD | I dont think authentication is done over port 80 | 23:35 |
| wylde | Duality: that, I honestly don't know. I'm not familiar at all with the current windows activation proccess. | 23:35 |
| phillyj | virtuaposta: will ubuntu ask me to specifiy partition app-files are stored on or will it use the boot partition? | 23:35 |
| mvrech | hello | 23:36 |
| Duality | wylde, it's windows xp :) | 23:36 |
| ring0 | mrgt, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 23:36 |
| mvrech | anybody here is brazilian? | 23:36 |
| DjKiDD | activation requires TCP/IP connectivity (port TCP/1688 default) | 23:36 |
| Duality | it activated! and do you know what was wrong! the firewall was up! :S | 23:36 |
| DjKiDD | called it | 23:36 |
| wylde | Duality: lol, I'm still not sure, only windows I put in a VM was win2k lol. | 23:37 |
| Tigerboy | Duality: if it is made for a certain machine like an HP it might not work whereas if you bought the copy of windows as a stand alone copy it should work on a vm just fine | 23:37 |
| wylde | Duality: /facepalm | 23:37 |
| DjKiDD | wylde where is this mkxauth located? | 23:37 |
| Tigerboy | just run mkxauth -c in the home/username folder to recreate the xauthority file | 23:38 |
| mrgt | ring8, yeah. no luck though. | 23:38 |
| wylde | DjKiDD: the only file you should need to touch, is the /home/username/.Xauthority file. Or follow what Tigerboy is suggesting :) | 23:38 |
| DjKiDD | Command not found | 23:38 |
| Duality | this windows is running in a virtual machine, on ubuntu server, and it runs with nice performance! :) | 23:39 |
| txomon|home | !channels | 23:40 |

| ring0 | mrgt, have you tried opening your m4a-file with totem? totem looks for missing codecs itself | 23:40 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah, that`s where I am worried about, hehe | 23:40 |
| DjKiDD | So I dont have the program called mkxauth | 23:40 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, is it bios raid? | 23:42 |
| Tigerboy | er djkidd: are you using lightdm | 23:42 |
| DjKiDD | i have no idea what that is | 23:42 |
| txomon|home | DjKiDD, a loader, the login screen | 23:42 |
| DjKiDD | im logged into the console | 23:43 |
| Tigerboy | try to run this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm | 23:43 |
| ubuntu_ | I got 2 NTFS partitions and a blank space on my disk, if I choose to Install Alongside Them, only the blank space will be used? | 23:43 |
| DjKiDD | lightdm is not installed | 23:43 |
| wylde | DjKiDD: ps aux | grep dm | 23:43 |
| DjKiDD | there is one process matching that | 23:44 |
| wylde | gdm? kdm? xdm? .... | 23:44 |
| DjKiDD | uhhhh | 23:44 |
| DjKiDD | tty1? | 23:44 |
| DjKiDD | its grep --color=auto dm | 23:45 |
| Tigerboy | djkidd: sudo apt-get install aptitude and then sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm | 23:45 |
| wylde | DjKiDD: yeah that's just your grep.... | 23:45 |
| Tigerboy | then aptitude show lightdm | 23:46 |
| wylde | DjKiDD: what's the output of 'lsb_release -rc' | 23:46 |
| BlueProtoman | Help! I can't get Wi-fi on my Ubuntu 11.10 laptop! It was working fine earlier today, I've done nothing to it! | 23:46 |
| actionParsnip | BlueProtoman: what is the wifi chip? | 23:47 |
| BlueProtoman | It's a Broadcom. It's worked just fkne before, though. I didn't even screw with the drivers or config | 23:47 |
| actionParsnip | BlueProtoman: if you reboot, is it ok? | 23:48 |
| NfNitLoop | How do I add an application to the laundher panel? This isn't working: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToAddaLauncher :( | 23:48 |
| DjKiDD | 11.04 natty | 23:48 |
| ubuntu_ | txomon|home, should I go with /dev/mapper ? | 23:48 |
| BlueProtoman | No. Gonna see if it works on Windows | 23:48 |
| actionParsnip | NfNitLoop: add a .desktop file to run it in /usr/share/applications and it will be there | 23:48 |
| DjKiDD | what is the command for ifconfig to grab an IP via DHCP | 23:48 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, have you tryed booting? | 23:48 |
| txomon|home | or installing* | 23:49 |
| NfNitLoop | actionParsnip: There's no way to do that from the GUI? | 23:49 |
| ubuntu_ | txomon|home, I am on the bootmanager installer, not sure yet | 23:49 |
| actionParsnip | DjKiDD: sudo dhclient eth0 | 23:49 |
| assoum | good evening, i have a problem concerning the sound on my laptop, it doesn't work on ubuntu 10.04 | 23:49 |
| assoum | what shall i do? | 23:49 |
| ubuntu_ | txomon|home, should I set to install on /dev/mapper ? | 23:49 |
| DjKiDD | BlueProtoman, are you sure there is not a switch or button/combo of buttons you can press to turn on and off the wireless card | 23:49 |
| ubuntu_ | txomon|home, would it be the /dev/sda similar ? | 23:50 |
| BlueProtoman | DjKoDD There is, Im' gonna play with it in Windows and try again | 23:50 |
| actionParsnip | NfNitLoop: not that I know of, it may exist but I fine the file easy. If you copy on from ~/.config/autostart it will have fewer lines and still work, making it easier to edit | 23:50 |
| BlueProtoman | But no luck so far | 23:50 |
| Floyd42 | assoum: does the sound work on windows? are you using a usb sound card? | 23:50 |
| Tigerboy | djkidd: when you go to recovery pick from the menu-- drop to root shell with networking or something similar | 23:50 |
| DjKiDD | i dont want to have to restart | 23:50 |
| DjKiDD | i didnt have it hooked up to the internet when I started | 23:51 |
| assoum | yes it works on windows | 23:51 |
| actionParsnip | NfNitLoop: alacarte may do it, not used it in AGES though | 23:51 |
| Tigerboy | I dual boot win 7 and linux but I seldom use windows anymore | 23:51 |
| mrgt | Another load of software installed and still no luck playing these m4v files. Damn Apple :( | 23:51 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, I have never done a install in a raid, but I suppose it is prepared to work. You can ask #ubuntu-server, where I am pretty sure they will know more about that | 23:51 |
| actionParsnip | BlueProtoman: be sure to set the device to not be able to wake the system up and disable power management in Windows device manager | 23:51 |
| BlueProtoman | actionParsnip Doesn't work on Windows. | 23:52 |
| actionParsnip | BlueProtoman: do you have a swuitch to enable / disable wifi? | 23:52 |
| BlueProtoman | Yeah, but it doesn't register. | 23:52 |
| ubuntu_ | txomon|home, thanks buddy for the input, I will give it a shot | 23:52 |
| BlueProtoman | It's a button with a LED, not a switch | 23:52 |
| actionParsnip | BlueProtoman: I'd check in BIOS, make sure the wifi is enabled etc | 23:52 |
| assoum | Floyd42 what does it mean usb sound card!! | 23:52 |

| dr3mro | hello , I am using precise with all updates and today my audio not work anymore .. plz help? | 23:53 |
| Floyd42 | assoum: I don't know how to make it clearer. Type "alsamixer" in terminal, and see if the volume is suffciently high and that the right sound card is selected. | 23:53 |
| ubuntu_ | txomon|home, Sorry, I use DuckDuckGo :) | 23:54 |
| mrgt | Tigerboy, already tried that. No luck. | 23:54 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, whatever | 23:54 |
| NfNitLoop | actionParsnip: seems pretty silly that I can't just drag an executable to the launcher and have it work. | 23:54 |
| Tigerboy | mrgt: try to rename to .mp4? | 23:54 |
| NfNitLoop | actionParsnip: but thanks for the help. | 23:54 |
| Tigerboy | mrgt: make sure vlc is installed | 23:55 |
| assoum | Floyd42 , yes the volume is high | 23:55 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 23:55 |
| actionParsnip | NfNitLoop: i agree, it should have some gui goodness. | 23:55 |
| dr3mro | plz my audio today dont work any help | 23:56 |
| actionParsnip | NfNitLoop: you could make on in python ;) | 23:56 |
| mrgt | Tigerboy, tried renaming it just now and that didn't work. I installed vlc and it couldn't open them either. | 23:56 |
| actionParsnip | dr3mro: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then try sounds | 23:56 |
| amine | join #ubuntu.fr | 23:56 |
| dr3mro | actionParsnip, ok I will try | 23:57 |
| wylde | amine: /join #ubuntu-fr | 23:57 |
| justin_ | Hey #ubuntu, has anyone else noticed a change in how the shift- or ring-switcher works in 12.04 after upgrading? I'm thinking about filing a bug report because the behavior changed a lot for me... | 23:57 |
| Tigerboy | mrgt: can you play dvds? | 23:57 |
| BlueProtoman | actionParsnip Fine in BIOS. I can't even change it, no option | 23:58 |
| Dj_KiDD | Why did I install aptitude for? | 23:58 |
| dr3mro | actionParsnip, no it dont work | 23:58 |
| Dj_KiDD | default display manager gdm or lightdm? | 23:58 |
| dr3mro | actionParsnip, actually pulse audio fail to start | 23:59 |
| Floyd42 | assoum: see https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/no-sound-ubuntu-10-04-hp-mini-110-a-798751/ | 23:59 |
| assoum | ok just a minute | 23:59 |
