[00:00] <Jordan_U> kgee: What tool? "sudo mount -o remount,rw /"?
[00:01]  * 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?
[00:02] <mcphail> toausdo: has the unity bar auto-hidden?
[00:02] <electronics-cat> lol
[00:03] <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?
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <mcphail> toausdo: if you drop to a terminal are all of the usual gui programs running from "ps aux"?
[00:06] <toausdo> I'd love to check, but Im not in front of the box anymore
[00:06] <toausdo> went home to catch some sleep...
[00:07] <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
[00:10] <electronics-cat> i think fglrx exploded
[00:11] <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?
[00:12] <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?
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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 :->
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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.
[00:19] <msquarme> undergraduate projects for Ubuntu?
[00:19] <PePeR_> hey
[00:19] <andrewb80> ubottu: thanks Ill read about that
[00:19] <PePeR_> lol
[00:20] <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.
[00:21] <Jordan_U> RichMobile: cifs is a network fileystem. Why are you using -t cifs when trying to mount a partition?
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <Jordan_U> RichMobile: With what error message?
[00:26] <ztag100> !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
[00:27] <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?
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <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...
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <regeya> wish me luck, folks; I'm off to try to get my old dv camera talking to ubuntu.
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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
[00:34] <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
[00:37] <escott> !ics | echo083
[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?
[00:38] <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] <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
[00:40] <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?
[00:41] <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 :(
[00:42] <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.?!
[00:43] <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?
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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] <BFranks> bastidrazor: Correct. What's your point? .. I'm not on here asking for help because I know the answers. ;)
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <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?)
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <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"
[00:51] <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] <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
[00:52] <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
[00:53] <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?
[00:54] <sixseeksick> o.O
[00:54] <escott> !upstart | stars69 also see /etc/init
[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
[00:55] <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?
[00:56] <Kendall> On both Windows and Ubuntu
[00:57] <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?
[00:58] <mint> ubuntu
[00:58] <OerHeks> !raid
[00:59] <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
[01:00] <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.
[01:01] <mint> cause my motherboard does not support 6 hhds
[01:02] <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. :)
[01:03] <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
[01:05] <alex_____> I'm having an install problem with 12.04 lts is this the right place to ask that question?
[01:06] <stars69> what is the cmd to scan hard drive for error from ssh terminal?
[01:07] <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
[01:09] <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
[01:10] <msquarme> I installed my ubuntu 11.10 using wubi installer. It says error wubier when i start up my pc but it is working
[01:12] <celthunder> stars69: any useful logs
[01:14] <stars69> celthunder, yes that fsck is worked :) take sometime to scan, can i scan multiple hardrive on same time?
[01:14] <escott> stars69, sure
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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
[01:17] <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
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <alex_____> thanks
[01:19] <PePeR_> hello
[01:20] <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 .

[01:31] <Diamondcite> [21:27:11] <bazhang> User123, what does apt-cache search geany say  <--- Do this in a TERMINAL WINDOW, not this chat channel.
[01:31] <User123> lol
[01:31] <User123> me on Windows now but i have on ubuntu Geany too
[01:32] <User123> just i want list of extensions
[01:32] <User123> Any Python Developer here?
[01:33] <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 ?
[01:33] <bazhang> #python User123
[01:33] <sary> Fred219: was the upgrade process interrupted somehow !
[01:33] <Qualia> is fglrx not worth using?
[01:33] <Diamondcite> User123: If you actually ran that command in the terminal, it would have given you a list of plugins(extensions) for Geany which ubuntu comes with..
[01:33] <Fred219> sary: no all seemed to go well.
[01:33] <User123> What Better Eclipse+PyDev or NetBeans?
[01:34] <bazhang> !best | User123
[01:34] <User123> i want all python plugins not only in oficial ubuntu repo
[01:35] <User123> !best ide python
[01:35] <rainfyre> hi all. Is it accurate to say that Ubuntu is based on Debian Sid?
[01:35] <User123> no work
[01:35] <bazhang> User123, #geany
[01:35] <IdleOne> User123: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[01:36] <User123> geny its a little universal text editor and ide with no many functions

[01:37] <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?
[01:37] <User123> Cannot send to channel: #python-unregistered
[01:37] <User123> shit!
[01:37] <bazhang> User123, then ask there.
[01:37] <User123> :(
[01:37] <IdleOne> !language | User123
[01:37] <bazhang> User123, register and stop cursing
[01:37] <bazhang> !register | User123
[01:37] <Diamondcite> User123: Everyone has their own prefference in IDEs/editors to use. Since what you are looking for is not officially part of ubuntu, please try asking in #geany as the users in there are more likely to have a better idea as to how to meet your needs.
[01:38] <User123> WTF? why i need registration for ask question?!?!
[01:38] <User123> no!
[01:38] <User123> its stupid
[01:38] <JonEdney> What the heck is going on in here!?
[01:38] <bazhang> User123, not an ubuntu issue. stop with the offtopic here or I will remove you
[01:39] <User123> FU!
[01:39] <Diamondcite> User123: Alot of people just join and spam, registration (with any name, even disposeable ones) makes sure bots can't just join, flood and go without a trace.
[01:39] <Diamondcite> ...
[01:39] <JonEdney> I'll never understand people.
[01:39] <njuettner> thumbs up
[01:39] <Fred219> thank you
[01:39] <JonEdney> Unfortunately, maturity isn't a requirement before accessing the internet.
[01:40] <njuettner> :D
[01:40] <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?
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <njuettner> @Fred219 so a unity --reset didn't help?
[01:42] <ev_> Diamondcite: wireless mouse detected, no mention of trackpad. I suppose a fresh reboot may solve it but was just curious if a there was a command fix.
[01:43] <Dougie187> I'm having trouble with flash in 12.04. It crashes in firefox a ton.
[01:43] <Diamondcite> ev_: Did the system sleep/suspend at any point in time?
[01:43] <Diamondcite> ev_: Or how about a softkey which disabled the touchpad which most notebooks seem to have.
[01:43] <bpcomp> can someone help me track down why my sound device is busy
[01:43] <funa> need help whit vpn server
[01:44] <ev_> Diamondcite: most likely, not 100% for sure
[01:44] <Fred219> njuettner: no, it drops all window decorations gives the "warn failed to receive configurenotify event" error and just hangs
[01:44] <njuettner> @funa what do you want to know
[01:44] <funa> i installed pptpd and set it up but it wont work
[01:45] <Diamondcite> ev_: Do you know which driver it uses? (wonder if something like the synaptic driver was simply unloaded)
[01:45] <funa> njuettner, i have ununtu 10.04 is there a web page that will tell me how to do it
[01:46] <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] <LoOoD> Does anyone else have a problem procps in precise? Does "service procps start" no longer work?
[01:46] <Diamondcite> bpcomp: Busy to an app or busy to pulse audio?

[01:54] <msquarme> then what?
[01:55] <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
[01:56] <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
[01:57] <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] <shashi> since then i have never been able to use my cam on any of linux
[01:58] <shashi> no  i use xubuntu
[01:58] <shashi> i just installed skype today
[01:59] <shashi> my cam work good with cheese.
[01:59] <msquarme> I will meet u there buddy

[02:05] <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
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <zymaster> thanks im such a noob
[02:07] <bpcomp> well it can be a pain to fix sometimes
[02:08] <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
[02:09] <PePeR_> does the USB device have a switch on it?
[02:09] <PePeR_> or any other mehcanism?
[02:09] <bpcomp> can you write a file to the drive from the command line?
[02:09] <shashi> have you send me a request yet?
[02:10] <bpcomp> zymaster: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1448092.html

[02:13] <nmatrix9> premium as in paid support?

[02:18] <sary> fl0w3r: i don't see why not :)
[02:18] <bpcomp> sounds good fl0w3r
[02:18] <Fred219> sary: ok, looks like no additional drivers installed now. :-)
[02:18] <sary> you could try it brfore installing thoug , and see how things go.
[02:18] <PePeR_> if you're not running Ubuntu then I question why you're on the Ubuntu IRC channel
[02:18] <fl0w3r> will i need to download drivers like i do after a windows install
[02:19] <bpcomp> you might need to for somethings
[02:19] <bazhang> PePeR_, to get info about it
[02:19] <manny550> I need some quick help
[02:19] <bpcomp> but probably most stuff witll just work
[02:19] <fl0w3r> PePeR_: wanted to ask the question before i wasted time on it and then i find out it's not compatible
[02:19] <PePeR_> wouldn't google work better?
[02:19] <bazhang> fl0w3r, try the live cd, first
[02:19] <sary> Fred219: Right , i was just about to inform you .
[02:19] <bazhang> PePeR_, no need for that
[02:20] <fl0w3r> i was already on irc, PePeR_
[02:20] <fl0w3r> also PePeR_ you being condescending would be better in real life then here but you're still here
[02:20] <PePeR_> are there any popular irc channels that aren't support channels?
[02:20] <manny550> so my buddy's laptop's hard drive has really bad sectors in it and theres no operating system on it, I've tried long formatting with windows xp boot CD but it shuts down 2% in the download does anyone know something I could use that can fix bad sectors on a hard drive without an operating system?
[02:21] <fl0w3r> PePeR_ google that man
[02:21] <sary> Fred219: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:21] <manny550> 2% in the formatting I mean*
[02:21] <fl0w3r> anyways thanks guys i will check out the online forums if i run across any issues
[02:21] <PePeR_> I did
[02:21] <fl0w3r> google harder than
[02:21] <fl0w3r> you did before
[02:21] <fl0w3r> :)
[02:21] <sary> persona: you could use alis to search for channels in freenode .. /msg alis help list

[03:09] <Trippz> no problem :)
[03:09] <sary> veebull: try with Disk usage.
[03:10] <veebull> sary, running 'du -h --max-depth=1' right now... gotta go for now.
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> veebull: uninstall old unused kernels helps a lot, as well as running:  sudo apt-get clean
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> veebull: also look into bleachbit
[03:11] <hash> is there any real differences between 11.10 and 12.0
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> hash: 12.04 is LTS
[03:11] <hash> 12.04*
[03:11] <pnp_> qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-a8 -kernel vmlinuz -hda qemu-foo-arm.img -m 256 -append "root=/dev/sda rootwait"
[03:11] <pnp_> i need more "-m 256"
[03:12] <hash> the only thing i know about lts is 3 years of service which i dont really know what that means
[03:12] <maryam_> anything about removing Unity from the new LTS?
[03:12] <hash> or was it 2 years
[03:13] <sary> it will be for 5 years sarting with 12.04.
[03:13] <maryam_> removing Unity? how to link?
[03:13] <hash> ok but whats the support
[03:14] <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.
[03:15] <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.
[03:16] <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
[03:17] <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?
[03:18] <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
[03:19] <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] <root> hello
[03:19] <SudoKing> select gnome as your desktop environment then uninstall unity
[03:20] <kion> how can I create a swap partition and use it as swap with terminal commands?
[03:21] <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.
[03:22] <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.
[03:23] <kion> thanks Sary, so fdisk is the command line version of Gparted?
[03:23] <SudoKing> rather, GParted is a graphical frontend to fdisk ? =p
[03:24] <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?
[03:25] <kion> sary Yes I am sshing into my ubuntu box and trying man fdisk
[03:25] <msquarme> where can i get free oracle virtual box for ubuntu?
[03:25] <sary> krababbel: there should be a keyboard shortcuts in terminl settings.
[03:26] <sary> kion: nice.
[03:26] <sary> msquarme: as i recall its called virtualbox-ose .
[03:26] <msquarme> yea
[03:26] <msquarme> where could i get it?
[03:27] <hash> software center
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> msquarme: software centre as usual
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> msquarme: or run:  sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[03:28] <msquarme> ActionParsnip: thanks i
[03:28] <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?
[03:29] <msquarme> Thank u buddy
[03:30] <kion> msquarme i would do sudo apt-get install virtualbox an tab to see alternatives
[03:30] <krababbel> sary: thanks but the desktop session seems to be locked up completely
[03:30] <msquarme> yea u can do it
[03:31] <sary> stanigator: Edit > profile > Title and command.
[03:32] <jojr__> thanks
[03:33] <sary> krababbel: what causing that. .. check the ~/.xsession-errors file.
[03:33] <krababbel> sary: tried logging in in gnome classic and back, it works now. Will look there
[03:36] <krababbel> sary: seemed to be: (gnome-settings-daemon:4283): color-plugin-WARNING **: failed to reset xrandr-default gamma tables: gamma size is zero
[03:37] <krababbel> sary: sorry wrong line: ** (nautilus:4322): CRITICAL **: syncdaemon_interface_get_proxy_object: assertion `SYNCDAEMON_IS_INTERFACE (interface)' failed
[03:43] <bmck-> if i have 16gb ram how much swap area do i need for the partition
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> kion: advising pinguy isn't very wise, it isn't supported here so you are restricting support for the user
[03:44] <krababbel> sary: did you get that? In case you want to know xsession errors has: ** (nautilus:4322): CRITICAL **: syncdaemon_interface_get_proxy_object: assertion `SYNCDAEMON_IS_INTERFACE (interface)' failed
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> bmck-: do you want hibernate functionality?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> bmck-: and what is the system to be used for?
[03:45] <bmck-> ActionParsnip: no hibernate. and just to use for daily use
[03:45] <Trippz> isolinux: Disk error 10, AX = 4280, drive EF
[03:45] <krababbel> bmck-: does it matter? how big is you hdd?
[03:45] <sary> krababbel: i can't tell whats causing the lock from on line .. you could pastbin the whole output of the file to paste.ubuntu.com  for better investigating .
[03:46] <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
[03:47] <Trippz> sary: are you here? i have this error :( ->   isolinux: Disk error 10, AX = 4280, drive EF
[03:48] <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] <krababbel> sary: http://paste.ubuntu.com/982836/
[03:48] <sary> Trippz: what tool you used .
[03:48] <rahul> hello..
[03:48] <sary> hey
[03:48] <bmck-> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[03:48] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: yes during first BOOT
[03:48] <rahul> need help in fixing this error
[03:48] <sary> krababbel: thanks .
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <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
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: how do you mean 'dark side'?
[03:52] <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? :)
[03:53] <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
[03:54] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: this instrunctions are not for linux OS's?
[03:54] <alusion_> Hello I know this may not be the right channel but when mounting fans on the roof of a case should I have the sticker facing inside or outside
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: they are for WIndows, Mac and Linux. What more can you want?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> alusion_: ask in #hardware
[03:56] <wm_eddie> alusion_:  In general though think of the air flow of the case.  Heat does moves upwards.
[03:57] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: sorry again, impatience is making me make mistakes
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: its all in the first link, even points you to a handy application...
[03:58] <Trippz> im calculating
[03:59] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: its all ok the MD5 is the same
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: good, please MD5 test before using images in future ;)
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: are you using a CD to install, or are you using a USB device?
[04:00] <Trippz> CD
[04:01] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: wait, i have rebooted and now seems working O.o
[04:01] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: probably a DVD reader with problems?
[04:01] <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.
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: possibly, did you burn the DVD as fast as posible by any chance?
[04:02] <Vooloo> anyone know the keyboard + mouse combo to resize gnome terminal? alt+mouse1 is move
[04:02] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: no burned at 70% of max elocity
[04:02] <Vooloo> nevermind, alt+mouse2 popped a menu
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: burning slower helps, also not using the junky burner built into Windows helps a lot too
[04:03] <Trippz> no no fortunately i use burner Xp
[04:03] <krababbel> dvd at about 8-10x i think
[04:03] <Trippz> :D
[04:03] <Troller> :D
[04:04] <krababbel> should be about most reliable according to a test
[04:04] <john_832> Hello all! So, here I am trying to watch Season 3 of Friends from Ubuntu 12.04 and while I'm not getting any codec errors in VLC I'm not exactly getting any playtime....Anyone wanna give me some insightful direction?
[04:04] <Trippz> however i have started the installation, the screen is totally BLACK but the DVD reader led is flashing, hoping something appear in the screen first or last :D
[04:04] <Troller> :D
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> john_832: what is the media stored on? file? DVD?
[04:05] <krababbel> Trippz: do you have a sata burner?
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: what GPU do you use?
[04:05] <Trippz> no, i have an old dvd burner IDE
[04:06] <krababbel> Trippz: OK
[04:06] <john_832> ActionParsnip, Yeah it's a DVD, more specifically, it's a DVD that wants to be using InterActual Player 2.0
[04:06] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: you mean graphic adapter?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> john_832: have you tried a different video output method in the options?
[04:06] <brandonj> john_832: do you have libdvdcss installed?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: the chip on your video adapter, what is it? nvidia? Amd? intel? sis?
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> !dvd | john_832
[04:07] <john_832> brandon j, ActionParsnip, Brandon wins! thanks guys
[04:08] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: in the notebook or in the PC where i have burned the cd?? however PC tower ati hd 5850 - notebook i dont remember :(
[04:08] <shankhs> Hi, i recently upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 and since the upgrade there is no sound :(
[04:08] <shankhs> Can anybody please help me
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: th system you are getting the ba
[04:08] <shankhs> Thanks
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: getting the black screen, the system you burned the CD with is of no interest
[04:10] <Trippz> unfortunately i dont remember the GPU of the notebook, intel graphics something, i try to do little search
[04:10] <JonEdney> When I upload SSH Key on LaunchPad, do I copy paste everything in the .pub (including the ssh-rsa in the beginning and the user@PC-Name at the end)?
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: ok then try the boot option:   nomodeset
[04:13] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: Intel Corporation	82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> Trippz: yeah try the nomodeset option, works well with intel gpus
[04:15] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: how to use this mode? sorry but im totally noob with linux
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <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] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Trippz
[04:17] <APoulos> along with the parameter - PFN_List_Corrupt
[04:18] <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
[04:19] <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] <timothywcrane> looing for a windows manager that will allow me to fix window sizes and positions. I want to keep VLC and other programs in line. Now in Unity with Compiz cube. Would like to retain ability to ccsm. Any suggests?
[04:19] <timothywcrane> looking
[04:20] <pibarnas> is there a ubuntu game channel? I'm having issues with my joystick, I've search around but nothing seem to solve the problem....
[04:20] <timothywcrane> ssl but not worth the pbin
[04:20] <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?
[04:21] <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.
[04:22] <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] <timothywcrane> Action gdevilspie play nic with compiz?
[04:23] <timothywcrane> nice?
[04:23] <alecbenzer> screen shot: http://i.imgur.com/C6WOF.png
[04:23] <pibarnas> timothywcrane: pvt
[04:23] <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?
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <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] <krababbel> APoulos: no, it is a pc, not a bomb :)
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> APoulos: might want to set more then, XP needs ram too :)
[04:26] <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)
[04:27] <APoulos> ActionParsnip Krabbabel: here's my computer - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3837674
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <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" ?
[04:29] <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
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> alecbenzer: are you using compiz?
[04:30] <alecbenzer> ActionParsnip: I'm using plain gnome-classic, which I don't *think* comes with compiz, does it?
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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] <sary> JonEdney: http://static.screencasts.ubuntu.com/videos/2010/12/22/004-SigningCoC.ogv
[04:32] <ztag100> Apoulos: this is a mid range laptop
[04:32] <ztag100> I want something that can sync calenders as well
[04:32] <APoulos> ztag100: could you elaborate on your definition of mid range please?
[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?
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> sary: dude, make a factoid of that please, thats awesome
[04:33] <ztag100> 4GB ram, core2duo
[04:33] <APoulos> ztag100: 64bit?
[04:33] <alicia_b> Kdenlive Question: How can I move a video channel above or below another video channel?
[04:33] <ztag100> yup
[04:34] <APoulos> ztag100: then Thunderbird is your best bet for best email client
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <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?
[04:36] <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] <sary> JonEdney: you're welcome.
[04:37] <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] <juanito_> ActionParsnip:  I use sudo and provide password but I still get the msg.  I get the same results from a Windows machine
[04:37] <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
[04:38] <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
[04:39] <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
[04:40] <APoulos> ActionParsnip, krababbel - well then, The only thing I worry about now is how my system will adjust to downgrading RAM
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <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> linagee: adobe has, on linux, google chrome will get updates, but chromium not I think
[04:43] <MLBNews> Hi...
[04:43] <Drubal> Hey guys... ANyone use adobe flash plugin ?
[04:43] <linagee> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/0Wq6rtAs
[04:43] <Drubal> mine is stuttering like crazy.... never did it before. Running 11.2.202.235 of flash plugin
[04:43] <APoulos> ActionParsnip, krababbel would I have to do anything to the system after removing the ram? such as adjusting it down?
[04:44] <Drubal> ANyone use flash plugin here having troubles?
[04:44] <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.)
[04:45] <Drubal> Anyone having youtube/flash issues?
[04:45] <Drubal> My flash stutters now and it never used to
[04:45] <linagee> ActionParsnip: it seems to happen less when I keep the mouse pointer within the flash window
[04:46] <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
[04:47] <krababbel> Drubal: it is crashy
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> linagee: yes, I get the same sometimes, can you please provide the pastebin of the command I gave please :)
[04:47] <Drubal> It totally stutters now...
[04:47] <Drubal> and my CPU usage is fine...
[04:47] <linagee> krababbel: has never been crashy in windows. (hate to say it. it pains me.)
[04:47] <Drubal> ugh I'm going to reboot!!! so lame
[04:47] <Drubal> I will be back soon
[04:47] <krababbel> linagee: it is for me at least, not as much, but is
[04:47] <linagee> ActionParsnip: repaste: http://pastebin.com/0Wq6rtAs
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <linagee> sometimes I get some sort of XID collision message
[04:48] <linagee> nfi what that means
[04:49] <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] <Trippz> ActionParsnip: ok with the external dvdreader/writer the notebook boot from cd but now, after i select install with nomodeset the dvdstops working and the screen stay black flashing the "DOS cursor"

[05:36] <pratz> hey guys what's the best tag editor for linux ?
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> arno_: the packages are more stable on purpose in LTS, the apps as seen by the lay user will be the same
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> pratz: there is no best tag editor for any OS
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> pratz: try easytag......it's not the best and it's not the worst, just like all the others
[05:44] <veebull> If I have CPU usage of less than 50%, how do I have a system load average over 1.0?
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> pratz: your question is as intelligent as asking what the best colour is....
[05:46] <RealEyes> im so ready for D3 already
[05:47] <msquarme> hey What is the advantages of avast anti-virus for ubuntu
[05:47] <arno_> ActionParsnip: Are there two different isos for 12.04 if so, are packages more stable in lts or are apps the same ?
[05:48] <waheed> I wan't to completely remove LAMP, I tried this http://pastebin.com/appaNJPD but there are a problem...any help??
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> arno_: there are several ISOs for 12.04
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> arno_: the apps varied depending on if you use kubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu or ubuntu. they will all be officially stable
[05:49] <msquarme> waheed: to completly remove software try apt-get auto-remove
[05:49] <bouma> is there a way to integrate clementine with the unity menu
[05:50] <bouma> like rhythmbox
[05:50] <zerovin> waheed: /etc/sudoers file in wrong mode
[05:50] <zerovin> 0777 that's mean anybody can write it
[05:50] <Bruce_Wayne> Guys, I tried plenty of Video Converters in past like Transmageddon, and handbrake and some others.. None of them worked good enough to convert the videos. Now again this days I need to convert videos to .mp4 format & I hate to boot into Windows just to do that... Please suggest any good mp4 video converters
[05:51] <arno_> ActionParsnip: am I assured the versions of underlying libraries are the same between all flavors (ie: same version of sqlite, gtk) or could they be differents ?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> arno_: yes that will be identical, just the default DE and apps will differ
[05:52] <bouma> will ubuntu preload work with an ssd
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> arno_: and obviously you can run the gnome apps in KDE and vice-versa
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> bouma: sure, why would SSD make any difference?
[05:53] <RealEyes> yes
[05:54] <waheed> zerovin : I changed it, but the command doesn't really remove lamp..apache is still here

[05:56] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: I got it like last easter
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> APoulos: i'd check how long the warranty is then
[05:56] <triq6> Here is a pastebin of 'lsmod | grep rt2': http://paste.ubuntu.com/982941/
[05:57] <zerovin> waheed: what's the output now
[05:57] <newbi> hello everybody! can someone please help me get through a shared library error. i am absolutely new to LINUX.
[05:57] <APoulos> ActionParsnip - I can still use my faulty ram until I get/afford a new chip right? On Linux that is
[05:58] <krababbel> APoulos: you will get random errors
[05:59] <krababbel> APoulos: and maybe trash the whole installation
[05:59] <APoulos> krababbel: I havent yet - only with Windows installations

[06:00] <mikeliss> anybody know why sourcing .bashrc wouldn't work?
[06:00] <newbi> sombody please help.
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> mikeliss: bad syntax in the file.....
[06:00] <mikeliss> It's an old .bashrc file...had it for years, suddenly on new server, it doesn't autoload, and sourcing it doesn't work.
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> mikeliss: does source have -vv powers?
[06:01] <APoulos> krababbel ActionParsnip Because Linux doesnt require everything to be perfect, in terms of ram right?
[06:01] <mikeliss> ActionParsnip: No idea...never heard of such a thing?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> mikeliss: does your user have appropriate access to the file?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> APoulos: may have just got lucky, its is randomly accessed
[06:02] <mikeliss> ActionParsnip: yeah, I mean, I own it, and have rwx.
[06:02] <APoulos> ActionParsnip krababbel: would Ubuntu run off of just 1GB of ram?
[06:02] <mikeliss> APoulos: It should work fine on 1GB.
[06:02] <mikeliss> APoulos: Did it myself. It's not super zippy, but it'll work, yeah.
[06:03] <zerovin> waheed: you have some permission problem there

[06:04] <alex_hammer> anybody helps me?
[06:04] <mikeliss> ActionParsnip: Any other ideas for the .bashrc file? I'm pretty stumped and annoyed with it.
[06:04] <zerovin> waheed: hacked?
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> pratz: http://www.pieratnine.com/libnotify-irssi
[06:05] <newbi> can anybody execute a file for me?
[06:05] <iceroot> waheed: your backup
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> mikeliss: check the man page of the source command, see if it has verbose output, also check you have the right access to the file and that your user is the owner of the file
[06:05] <APoulos> ActionParsnip - looking for a new stick of ram, what would I be looking for? DDR2 SDRam? or DIMM Memory?
[06:05] <waheed> zerovin : like that option in window..that lets you restore your system to a fixed past time point
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> APoulos: find out what your system takes, then get that
[06:06] <mikeliss> Sigh. Can't believe I'm stumped by sourcing a .bashrc file.
[06:06] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: I dont know what my system takes, I have a 2GB DD2 stick, idk what I'm looking for
[06:06] <mikeliss> Have all the permissions, can't get it to load, despite it working on a different computer for years.
[06:07] <mikeliss> No errors come out...source isn't documented anywhere I can find. -h, and --help, and man source all do nothing.

[06:16] <solofight> ive stayed in this screen for long time now(1 hour)
[06:16] <solofight> no progress
[06:16] <Optichip> solofight: did you do a MD5sum on the download before burning to disc?
[06:16] <solofight> however when i try the same disk in someother computer it works perfectly fine
[06:16] <newbi> Optichip: Reading package lists... Done
[06:16] <newbi> Building dependency tree
[06:16] <newbi> Reading state information... Done
[06:16] <newbi> E: Unable to locate package libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[06:16] <newbi> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2'
[06:17] <solofight> Optichip: md5 is correct
[06:17] <solofight> i ran it before burning
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> solofight: did you MD5 test the ISO? Did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? Did you not use the junky burner built into WIndows?
[06:17] <Optichip> newbi:  which version of Ubuntu?
[06:17] <solofight> ActionParsnip: yes i did - i checked md5 and ensured its the same, i burned the dvd using baristo from my earlier version of ubuntu
[06:17] <solofight> openvoid: 12
[06:18] <newbi> Optichip: Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric i386 32-Bit.
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> solofight: and a slow burn?
[06:18] <solofight> Optichip: v12
[06:18] <APoulos> ActionParsnip: okay, so basically whats the difference between:  DDR2 PC2-6400 & DDR2 PC2-5300
[06:18] <solofight> ActionParsnip: nope - it was at the maximum speed
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> APoulos: that's offtopic here, ask in #hardware
[06:18] <solofight> but if thats the problem it should not work in any computer right ?
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> solofight: burning SLOW is better for bootable medias
[06:18] <solofight> ActionParsnip: ^
[06:19] <Optichip> newbi: open up Ubuntu Software Center type in libstdc++
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> solofight: all I know is burning slow helps
[06:19] <ustreamer-058399> ustreamer
[06:19] <Optichip> newbi: you'll get a list of them all, you want the on that has support for glibc
[06:20] <solofight> people - i wanted to install the latest version of ubuntu so downloaded v12 and burned it in a disk and booted with the disc as first boot disc. the disc is not booting at all - it continously gives me the ubuntu background where the dots beneath it changes from white to orange color. I did a md5 sum and verified its the same before writing to disc - i used the ubuntu's built in br***** burner
[06:20] <Optichip> solofight: may be some issue with the drive, if you did burn it at the "slowest possible speed" then maybe there's an issue with the CDrom.
[06:21] <Optichip> solofight: you don't need to repeat your issue, just wait for help.
[06:21] <newbi> Optichip: i found this while looking for the error in Google: sudo find / -iname "libstdc++*" | grep so

[06:23] <cordoval> guys how to allow my firewall to connect someone through ssh to my box?
[06:23] <waheed> guys , any way to rollback "system restore" ??
[06:23] <Optichip> cordoval: you "port forward" from firewall to your ip on the inside.
[06:23] <wylde> cordoval: forward port 22 from your router to your computer.
[06:23] <cordoval> that is what i have done already
[06:24] <cordoval> but it is timing out
[06:24] <Optichip> cordoval: have you installed the openssh-server software on your machine?
[06:24] <newbi> Optichip: can i do something else?
[06:25] <dixoncx> Hi all... Help needed for configuring opendns in ppp (Mobile Broadband). I added nameservers through "NetworkManager" but didn't worked. Editing "/etc/resolv.conf"  manually works fine, but need to edit it each time i connect. Tried "chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf", but it says "chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf"
[06:25] <Optichip> newbi: did you locate the package in the software center?
[06:26] <cordoval> yes
[06:26] <cordoval> how to add a user?
[06:26] <cordoval> yueah it was the ip tables
[06:26] <newbi> Optichip: i entered libstdc++ and got lots of packages. how to identify the correct one?
[06:26] <Optichip> newbi: are you just trying to run a program or are you trying to install something?
[06:26] <cordoval> ~ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
[06:26] <cordoval> how to create a user
[06:26] <cordoval> adduser or useradd?
[06:27] <Optichip> adduser should work.
[06:27] <waheed> I wanna do a system restore to a previous time? otherwise I have to reinstall ubuntu
[06:27] <solofight> Optichip: when i boot from cd one black windows with a blinking cursor appears and then it says http://pastebin.com/0fN4x920
[06:27] <iceroot> waheed: as i said already, only possible with your backup
[06:27] <orated> Hello! I added a plugin - Embedded terminal to gedit text editor. The background color of the embedded terminal in the text editor has changed to white. How can I change the color back to its defaults?
[06:27] <newbi> Optichip: i need to execute an ELF file.
[06:27] <solofight> after the final message it shows me the ubuntu screen which goes on on on
[06:27] <waheed> iceroot : how to check for backups?
[06:27] <solofight> does that message http://pastebin.com/0fN4x920 mean anything ?
[06:28] <iceroot> waheed: you should know best if you a re doing backups
[06:28] <iceroot> waheed: by default there are no backups
[06:29] <iceroot> !backup | waheed
[06:30] <jacta_> If i want other window apparance - (other buttons) - where is that in 12.04?
[06:30] <Optichip> solofight: /dev/sda is your primary hard disk I take it?
[06:30] <Optichip> solofight: has this machine worked before?  does it have an os on it now?
[06:30] <Optichip> solofight: will it boot that os?
[06:30] <Ghanta> Can anyone tell me the user/password of ubuntu live cd? Wasn't it ubuntu/ubuntu?
[06:30] <Optichip> newbi: ELF file is kinda generic, what is the name of the program?
[06:31] <newbi> Optichip: its a stegano decoder for a challenge from HackQuest.com The name is "stegano"
[06:31] <Optichip> Ghanta: thought so but not sure.
[06:31] <sancas> i have a problems with Eclipse
[06:31] <sancas> i want to update using the menu on Eclipse, Help > Check for Update
[06:32] <solofight> Optichip: yes it had worked perfectly fine before i had dual OS (ubuntu 7 + windows xp where xp was installed first and then ubuntu) - recently it gave me error saying - grub error 18; Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS for which people suggested me to install the latest version of ubuntu which is 12. so i deleted the existing partitions using windows xp boot disk and now trying
[06:32] <sancas> and i found updates, but i cant update it because i'm not an admin
[06:32] <solofight> to install ubuntu v12 for which i get that error said above
[06:32] <Ghanta> Cannot login in after logout. Testing live cd...
[06:32] <newbi> Optichip:  "stegano" is the file name. the readme to the file says its been compiled under Slackware (version not mentioned).
[06:32] <Optichip> oh
[06:32] <Optichip> hehe
[06:32] <solofight> Optichip: ubuntu was installed in /dev/sda7 and 8 i guess (8 being swap)
[06:33] <Optichip> newbi:  you'll need to get the source and compile for Ubuntu, otherwise find a slackware machine
[06:33] <sancas> them i launch Eclipse as Admin and check updates again but the Eclipse not detect news updates and dont know what can i do :)
[06:33] <dixoncx> Hi all... Help needed for configuring opendns in ppp (Mobile Broadband). I added nameservers through "NetworkManager" but didn't worked.

[06:34] <newbi> Optichip: how can i get the source and compile?
[06:34] <jacta_> If i want other window appearance - (other buttons and such) - where is that in 12.04?
[06:34] <solofight> Optichip: yes it had worked perfectly fine . Earlier* i had dual OS .......
[06:34] <linus_> Bonjour
[06:34] <Optichip> solofight: you didn't just put the disc in and let ubuntu installer find the partition?
[06:35] <Optichip> solofight: you can only have 4 primary partitions mate unless you have extended..
[06:35] <solofight> Optichip: it wont even boot - it gave me the same error http://pastebin.com/0fN4x920 and stays for hours in the ubuntu bg screen
[06:35] <newbi> Optichip: the challenge is about 8 years older (year 2004). it means i will need a very old version of slackware. am i right?
[06:36] <Optichip> newbi: newer version should run it
[06:36] <Optichip> solofight: it won't even boot XP now?
[06:36] <solofight> Optichip: so i thought may be existing grub giving problem - so lets delete the partition and do it fresh
[06:36] <solofight> Optichip: :( yes
[06:36] <solofight> am locked out
[06:36] <solofight> help please
[06:37] <Optichip> can you boot into the rescue on the disc?
[06:37] <solofight> Optichip: Xp disk ?
[06:37] <solofight> or ubuntu ?
[06:37] <newbi> Optichip: would you mind if i send you the file. can you please try it on your machine? its just about 19kb.
[06:37] <Optichip> solofight: XP disc will replace MBR
[06:38] <Optichip> solofight: there should be some help available online for how to replace MBR with XP boot disk
[06:38] <Optichip> newbi: I don't have slackware installed.
[06:38] <Optichip> newbi: you could download a slackware distro iso and install it in a VM and go that route.
[06:39] <Optichip> jacta_: you running Unity?
[06:40] <Optichip> jacta_: you can use MyUnity to configure new "themes"
[06:40] <newbi> Optichip: ok. thanks for your great help. am glad to meet you my friend.

[06:41] <newbi> Optichip: will download slackware. or maybe will try to find someone using slackware. thanks again my friend.
[06:41] <solofight> Optichip: ok on it - after fixing MBR and then we can install ubuntu from windows ?
[06:41] <solofight> right ?
[06:42] <Optichip> solofight: yes, better recommendation might be to get a separate disk for it if possible, but if not try installing again.
[06:45] <meco> Can it be right that all my cpu is being used for just four apps: smuxi (irc), transmission (torrent), system monitor and firefox? It seems wrong?

[06:46] <jameslord> http://iyanwu.com/pastebin/showthread.php?tid=55

[07:15] <alex_hammer> anybody helps me? i have a little problem with shutdown my ubuntu 12.04... first: the power button doesn't work on ubuntu... just in Windows... and, when i try use sudo shutdown 0, the system freeze @ this screen http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5509/27671493.jpg
[07:16] <alex_hammer> anyone?

[07:17] <alex_hammer> moose-machine no, i dont... i'm fresh on the linux world... kkk
[07:18] <alex_hammer> moose-machine i will try this command now and come back
[07:18] <moose-machine> alex_hammer: hmmm. ok. that command may work. meanwhile I'm not aware of the intricacies of unity to explain how to use the power button. a good place to try it would be to check your power settings
[07:27] <fahmyboy> Hi All, anyone around to answer a newbie question
[07:30] <SPhcT> something is wrong with my mic and i dont now how to fix it...

[07:32] <matthewL> Got some good advice on ubuntuforums.org about how to shut down apport
[07:33] <LinuxNoob> Need to execute a binary compiled under Slackware. Please help.
[07:33] <spiritech> does anyone use gprenamer?
[07:34] <r000t> I have a question about xchat: Why does it default to port 9999 when I use /connect -ssl <host>
[07:34] <r000t> I haven't encountered a single network that listens on 9999
[07:34] <matthewL> LinuxNoob: what permissions does it have?
[07:35] <SPhcT> How my mic isnot working... How to fix that..? SOmething with Alsa..?
[07:36] <LinuxNoob> matthewL: It gives me a shared liberary error.

[07:37] <LinuxNoob> matthewL: I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Oneirir i386 32-Bit.
[07:38] <matthewL> We can probably install the shared library, and it will run.
[07:38] <oCean> there is no such library under Ubuntu
[07:39] <matthewL> In a command prompt run "sudo apt-get install libsdc++"?
[07:39] <spiritech> i have some files of this format.   FILE_NAME/THEN_ELEVEN_DIGIT_CODE.MP4.     how can i remove the ELEVEN_DIGIT_CODE.FLV

[07:40] <matthewL> LinuxNoob:  oCean: interesting
[07:40] <oCean> hardly
[07:40] <LinuxNoob> Exactly. I tried looking for the error in Google and found a few answers, but all led me to dead pages.
[07:40] <oCean> LinuxNoob: find the sources and recompile, that is your only option
[07:41] <dixoncx> Anyone....? Help needed for configuring opendns in ppp (Mobile Broadband). I added nameservers through "NetworkManager" but didn't worked.

[07:47] <oCean> LinuxNoob: no
[07:48] <LinuxNoob> And this: libc6-udeb_2.13-20ubuntu5_i386.udeb
[07:48] <oCean> LinuxNoob: the shared libraries your executable need are not available on ubuntu. So contact the maintainers of the package
[07:48] <oCean> No need to continue asking here
[07:48] <LinuxNoob> Ok. Thanks.
[07:51] <matthewL> Mr.  oCean: if one were to port something compiled in c++ from slackware, why couldn't we just provide the right shared libraries?
[07:52] <oCean> matthewL: sure, but that is hardly in the scope of this channel. He has to contact the maintainers to find the sources anyway.
[07:52] <matthewL> oCean: ah...
[07:54] <matthewL> oCean: that would be an #ubuntu-dev topic?
[07:54] <orated> Hello! I'm not able to find Org>Gnome>Gedit>plugins>terminal option in gconf-editor. Is the path changed in the latest version?
[07:55] <oCean> matthewL: no, that is for Ubuntu development. There is help for building-from-scratch in channels such as #programming, ##c++ and even ##linux probably
[07:56] <foobArrr> I just installed sdl-ball from the repos, I get this error http://sprunge.us/bWZS when starting it. I turned down the desktop resolution (using xubuntu display dialog), but the error message stays the same.

[07:59] <fAz4> Where can i find the Ubuntu System Settings source code ?
[07:59] <nopf> so do i want 64bit or 32bit for a 8gb ram notebook fresh install?
[08:00] <Logan_> fAz4: In Gnome/Unity?
[08:00] <fAz4> Logan_: Unity
[08:00] <oCean> fAz4: if you are looking for sources of the /usr/bin/systemsettings program, use  apt-get source systemsettings (this will download the source code)
[08:01] <arejay> wow
[08:01] <oCean> (applicable for every package)

[08:01] <fishcooker> .. or sth else
[08:02] <fAz4> thanks
[08:02] <oCean> !compile | matthewL sure no problem
[08:02] <nopf> and where *is* the 64bit cd iso, on a browser *without* javascript?
[08:04] <matthewL> oCean: did you just direct ubottu to direct my questions on compiling to me?  IRC genius!
[08:04] <oCean> nopf: what? javascript?
[08:04] <oCean> !bot | matthewL here is some information on how to use ubottu yourself
[08:04] <nopf> oCean: well, the download page button gives me the 32bit iso even if i select "64 bit" in the drop box
[08:05] <oCean> nopf: I normally use http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
[08:05] <nopf> oCean: thanks... (is there a linkt on the front page to it? did not find it)
[08:06] <inforat> ok, so none of you may know, but I am new to ubuntu, I just downloaded xchat gnome, and I would like to connect to the afternet network
[08:06] <oCean> nopf: I don't think there is
[08:06] <inforat> but idk how
[08:07] <nopf> oCean: too bad...
[08:07] <matthewL> inforat: i'd suggest learning a bit about irc, first, from a google search.

[08:08] <mukesh> gmail.com
[08:08] <nopf> szerzetes: remove the ^M at the end of line. you edited that with a windows/dos machine or such it seems...
[08:08] <oCean> inforat: I prefer xchat instead of xchat-gnome, but in x-gnome it is probably also in the "IRC" menu, then Network List... option ?
[08:09] <matthewL> inforat: I'm new to IRC, but absolutely love Linux
[08:09] <inforat> matthewL: I like linux so far as well, just not knowing, being used to left clicking and that doesnt seem to work, its all just different and confusing to me
[08:10] <matthewL> inforat: try #!/bin/sh does it give same error?
[08:10]  * nikolja dobar dan
[08:10] <szerzetes> oCean, thanx, is copy from win and edit with gedit, i beleive gedit convert it...
[08:10] <matthewL> inforat: Might not have bash installed?
[08:10] <inforat> oCean, thanks, that worked
[08:10] <siva4080> how to list the *.mp3 files inside a directory using command in terminal ?
[08:11] <oCean> matthewL: you should probably be talking to szerzetes :)
[08:12] <oCean> szerzetes, matthewL is correct, there should be no space in the shebang, so #!/bin/bash
[08:12] <oCean> siva4080: ls *mp3 should list all mp3 files
[08:12] <siva4080> sorry.. I want recursively :)
[08:13] <oCean> siva4080: go in the directory where you want to start your search, then  find . -type f -name "*mp3"
[08:13] <matthewL> siva4080 ls -R *mp3?
[08:13] <szerzetes> oCean, space is not problem, gedit not converted the format, i make a new file, and copy the text and it is solve my problem, thanx
[08:14] <oCean> szerzetes: Oh, I just noticed the ^M characters, that is what the original problem was.
[08:15] <matthewL> szerzetes: ah utf-8 can save a lot of pain when saving with reference to character encoding.
[08:16] <xXx> hi
[08:17] <Guest34260> I have D945GCCR desktop using i915 driver on ubuntu 12.04 and experiencing sluggish flash performance, is this a known issue?
[08:17] <Guest34260> 64bit ver
[08:19] <Parading> quick question: can ubuntu be installed in a 1GB flash drive?
[08:21] <mysteriousdarren> Parading: yes, are you gonna boot off it?
[08:21] <Parading> I planned to install it in the usb itself
[08:21] <Parading> but I guessed that 1GB is not enough
[08:21] <Guest34260> it could be painful slow to boot from it afterwards
[08:22] <Guest34260> on the one I had was very slow to read from, maybe because it was in a usb1 port or something dunno
[08:22] <szerzetes> can i color only the path in the terminal?
[08:25] <pellaeon> Hi, I wonder why it says "It is generally recommended that users of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wait until the first point release, due in July, before upgrading. " in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS ?
[08:26] <ItsMeLenny> pellaeon, 12.04 is like a little bit unstable i guess so they say wait til 12.04.1
[08:28] <pellaeon> ItsMeLenny: hmmm, I'm curious of the details, is there something yet to be fixed?
[08:28] <reiu> uff
[08:30] <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.
[08:31] <jdtttt> hi, i have 10.04 and despite 'LTS' being ticked in Software sources, it doesn't show the 12.04 available. Any thoughts?
[08:31] <pellaeon> ItsMeLenny: Yes, I know that
[08:31] <jdtttt> 'it'=update manager
[08:31] <pellaeon> matthewL: oh, I got it, thanks.
[08:32] <kapz> In ubuntu 11.10 apt-get update was "WAYY" fast than 12.04 ...just refreshing package list takes 8-10 mins with 30 kbps speed. Am I missing something?
[08:33] <matthewL> jdtttt: I think each incremental upgrade must be made
[08:34] <matthewL> 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04/
[08:34] <jdtttt> hmm, according to the blurb LTS -> LTS is supported
[08:34] <pellaeon> matthewL: 10.04 -> 12.04 should be supported. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS
[08:35] <matthewL> jdtttt: really? Wow.
[08:35] <matthewL> Brb.
[08:35] <pnp_> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[08:35] <pnp_> help me
[08:35] <pnp_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/983084/
[08:38] <magic_al> good morning! i asigned my delete-key accidentally to a shortcut. i cannot find any way to reset it. can anyone help me?
[08:38] <matthewL> pellaeon: wow just click on LTS sources in Software Sources. Very coo.
[08:38] <matthewL> L.
[08:39] <jdtttt> matthewL: cool if it actually worked!
[08:40] <xCruJonesx> Hello!
[08:40] <matthewL> jdtttt: Yes, I have problems upgrading whenever, too.
[08:40] <matthewL> jdtttt: I backup my files and reinstall each time, unfortunately.
[08:41] <xCruJonesx> Question. I have a 250gb drive, that i partitioned 200gb NTFS and 50gb for ubuntu. Can repartition the 200gb to Fat32 without messing with my ubuntu installation?
[08:41] <jdtttt> gnash, ok. thanks anyway
[08:42] <matthewL> xCruJonesx: yes. Partition resize.
[08:42] <endra> hello
[08:42] <pellaeon> jdtttt: Yeah, in my experience things often break when upgrading ubuntu. (But I personally haven't tried upgrading 10.04 to 12.04)
[08:43] <pnp_> help  me  http://paste.ubuntu.com/983084/
[08:43] <pnp_> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[08:43] <endra> Can anyone recommend a way to detect PC bottleneck in terms of performance? I feel like the operating system is a bit sluggish
[08:44] <pellaeon> jdtttt: I suggest you can backup your home directory and make a fresh Precise install then put your home directory back.
[08:45] <pellaeon> jdtttt: rsync is a great tool to do this
[08:46] <pellaeon> jdtttt: And you can use dpkg --get-selections to list all currently installed packages
[08:46] <ShadowDog> Hi, could anyone help me with moving files to another server via ftp in 'Rescue Mode'? D=
[08:46] <jdtttt> pellaeon: previous experience with this approach left me flummoxed with 2 home directories, one on a separate partition the other on same
[08:46] <matthewL> pnp_: why is the newroot directory a filename?
[08:47] <pnp_> ubuntu-desktop
[08:48] <ShadowDog> Please, could anyone help me with moving files to another server via ftp in 'Rescue Mode'? D=
[08:48] <jdtttt> pellaeon: is there a nice way to list the packages and auto-reinstall the packages?
[08:49] <pellaeon> jdtttt: # dpkg --get-selections > installed_list
[08:49] <pellaeon> this saves your installed packages list to installed_list
[08:50] <jdtttt> pellaeon: yes, i see that gives me a list, but can i use that list?
[08:50] <pellaeon> then you can use # dpkg --set-selections < installed_list to install packages from the list
[08:51] <jdtttt> pellaeon: very nice. thanks
[08:51] <matthewL> pellaeon: wow.
[08:51] <pellaeon> jdtttt: But be aware that this can sometimes lead to trouble
[08:51] <ShadowDog> Hi, could anyone help me with moving files to another server via ftp in 'Rescue Mode'? D= ANYONE D=
[08:52] <jdtttt> Pellaeon: and during install, what do i need to take care of, as my home directory is on its own partition? last time, i ended up with another home on the main partition too, and it was all a muddle
[08:52] <pellaeon> jdtttt: If a package exists in lucid repository but not in precise, you'll probably need to comment out these packages
[08:52] <pellaeon> hmmm
[08:54] <jdtttt> pellaeon: ok.
[08:54] <matthewL> pnp_: ?
[08:55] <pellaeon> jdtttt: Just a quick thought, after you have upgraded, you'll need to edit /etc/fstab to point your home dir to the partition you previously put it.
[08:56] <pellaeon> jdtttt: I guess during the upgrading process it overwrites /etc/fstab
[08:57] <pellaeon> jdtttt: Or maybe you can just backup your old fstab and put it back after upgrading.
[08:57] <kangarooo> How to get backported kernel and nautilus? im on 10.04 i want fixes witch are made in 12.04 how to get them? im beeing told about installing backported kernel.
[08:57] <ShadowDog> Hi, could anyone help me with moving files to another server via ftp in 'Rescue Mode'? D=?
[08:58] <maheanuu> IaOra good morning to all, back trying to wurk after a cracked vertebrae and a bruised disc...   Man its been a really rough Feb, Mar, Apr  this year
[08:58] <jdtttt> pellaeon: yes. thanks. but a new /home directory is created and is populated with some things (if a previous experience is to go by). should i use that rather than the equivalent .files i have in my old home?
[08:58] <ShadowDog> The normal ftp client is missing in rescue mode.....
[08:58] <ShadowDog> HELP!
[08:59] <maheanuu> I just dropped in an 1.5 TB Sata Drive and it is showing up as a 2.2 TB Drive and I cannot get it to mount??
[09:00] <pellaeon> jdtttt: Hmm, I think using the old files wouldn't make big trouble..
[09:01] <jdtttt> pellaeon: ok thanks for all your help, i'll give it a go. i like your optimism. thanks
[09:02] <pellaeon> jdtttt: Glad I could help!
[09:03] <jbjbj> ciao
[09:03] <jbjbj> !lista
[09:04] <freijon> Hey there. I've read the news about the games EA has placed in the software center. however, they don't seem to be installable. It tells me "There isn’t a software package called “tiberiumalliances” in your current software sources"
[09:04] <freijon> Am I missing some software sources?
[09:06] <jdtttt> pellaeon/ matthewL: just saw 'Upgrades from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS do not work using the alternate CD or the server CD as a package repository. It is recommended that users running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wait for the 12.04.1 LTS point release, scheduled for July, before upgrading. ' on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop
[09:07] <matthewL> jdtttt: aha!
[09:07] <maheanuu> jdtttt, thanks much, I am running 10.02 LTS
[09:08] <Parading> I'm trying to install ubuntu using wubi but I'm having a problem. After restarting the computer, ubuntu starts running, it shows a "Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr, Try (hd0,1): NTFS5: error: "prefix" is not set." message and then just a black screen, no HD activity, nothing.
[09:08] <pellaeon> jdtttt: Yeah, "Why wait for 12.04.1?" was my original question LOL
[09:09] <matthewL> pellaeon: jdtttt: I agree.
[09:10] <matthewL> I really like irssi for irc service.
[09:11] <jdtttt> pellaeon: as a linux "early adopter" i have spent too many hours fixing upgrades that didn't upgrade and installs that didn't quite work i thought i'd let the experts take the strain, and now wait for LTS - no beta, no development upgrades.
[09:11] <jdtttt> ;)
[09:11] <ShadowDog> nvm. got ncftp now.
[09:11] <maheanuu> I am for the most part, a Noob and installed this version of 10.04.4 LTS  but it has been running me ragged when I try to do dome xtra stuff like having 4 or 4 external USB drives hanging off it
[09:12] <freijon> any ideas on that missing package in ubuntu software center?
[09:12] <pellaeon> jdtttt: Yeah, I totally agree
[09:12] <maheanuu> jdtttt, I am having problems on mounting a couple of 1.5 hard discs USB Ext
[09:13] <pellaeon> jdtttt: I only use LTS in recent years
[09:15] <DigiDaz> I now have a problem with SSH to a number of Ubuntu and Debian boxes, does anyone know of any recent problems with it?
[09:15] <jdtttt> maheanuu: yes, sometimes its annoying, and things don't work, but i'm fortunate - my system works. on that note, i'll do something different this weekend!
[09:15] <wilee-nilee> freijon, I have all the main repos open and don't see any thing spelled this way. tiberiumalliances
[09:16] <wilee-nilee> freijon, is that a actual game ?
[09:16] <matthewL> exit
[09:18] <yhy> I have installed hddtemp, but  command cannot find

[09:19] <yhy> sudo apt-get install hddtemp
[09:20] <yhy> I am root
[09:21] <ntyp> yhy: what does 'command cannot find' mean?"
[09:22] <srinivasa_> Hi.. need help
[09:22] <maheanuu> srinivasa_, ask...
[09:22] <srinivasa_> i have just installed ubuntu 12.04, using laptop acer aspire 5536. Kindly help me in  installing appropriate drivers
[09:23] <Afief> I just upgraded from 11.04 to 12.04 and I'm not getting a wifi icon in my topbar in my user account, but on other accounts the wifi icon is there. Help!
[09:23] <yhy> sudo: hddtemp: command not found
[09:23] <heresjohnny> yhy: run sudo -i
[09:24] <heresjohnny> then which hddtemp
[09:25] <maheanuu> srinivasa_, was that install a new or was it an upgrade and from what were you doing your upgrade?
[09:26] <srinivasa_> maheanuu, i can see ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers ( post-release updates) and ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics two options
[09:26] <shazzr> I can not install ubuntu 12.04 on my computer. I had it running fine with 11.04. I have a RevoDrive SSD which is set up to run RAID0. My motherboard is a Asus P8P67 Deluxe. It installs fine (64 bit desktop), but in the end I get a error message: http://pastebin.com/yJE1XZyB Please help...
[09:26] <srinivasa_> maheanuu, it's a fresh installation
[09:27] <srinivasa_> maheanuu, downloaded ubuntu 12.04 from official site and i have installed 32 bit (as recommended)
[09:29] <freijon> wilee-nilee: yes
[09:29] <zeol> hello people I have just migrated to Ubuntu (12.04) from debian and have some basic questions it would be great if someone is willing to help. 1) I would like to keep the GNOME enviromnent, but how do I change the environmemtn at Ubuntu at all??
[09:29] <maheanuu> I am running 10.04.4 LTS 64 Bit on a Toshiba Satellite and for the most part have loved being windows free, but still finding I am having to scrape, claw, dig information on how to accomplish a lot of things but I believe that it is worth the midnite oil
[09:29] <wilee-nilee> freijon, hello
[09:30] <freijon> wilee-nilee: there is a headline in the software center called "Lord of Ultima", an other EA game i suppose. If i click the headline, I get the same error
[09:30] <freijon> wilee-nilee: check this out: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/tiberiumalliances/
[09:31] <wilee-nilee> freijon, I have no idea I can only answer your question as far as the standard repos I have all open and do not see it in my setup
[09:31] <freijon> wilee-nilee: same here. But then I ask myself how others are able to install it?
[09:31] <srinivasa_> maheanuu, which one is best to install in from both options?
[09:32] <wilee-nilee> freijon, do you actually know anyone that has?
[09:32] <beeju> zeol, log out and change the desktop at the bottom panel and log in
[09:33] <ndee> how can I find files which have lines which are longer than 200 chars?
[09:33] <DigiDaz> shazzr: you have a single ssd drive?
[09:34] <beeju> zeol, if u r on Unity,then log out and click on the Ubuntu logo and select gnome classic,then login again
[09:34] <wilee-nilee> freijon, looks to me like it is a download and it is broken, if you click that orange button it opens a open with and nothing is there.
[09:34] <freijon> wilee-nilee: yes I do know of some guys who installed it
[09:35] <freijon> I thought maybe I'm missing some packages since its official in the software center
[09:35] <maheanuu> srinivasa_, I am not sure but I did a google and here is a pile of info on that, perhaps it might answer your questions  https://www.google.com/search?q=ATI%2FAMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers ( post-release updates) and ATI%2
[09:36] <Jordan_U> ndee: Try asking in #bash.
[09:36] <zeol> beeju: i have logged out and trying to log again but there seems no way to choose whatever . clicking on the Ubuntu logo gives 2 choices: ubuntu and ubuntu2d
[09:36] <Jordan_U> ndee: Never mind, it seems you already have :)
[09:36] <deedde> i used alternate cd to install raid 0. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[09:36] <ndee> Jordan_U: kk :D
[09:36] <Troller> :D
[09:37] <srinivasa_> maheanuu, cool, i was going through it actually
[09:39] <wilee-nilee> freijon, I would ask them if you get no answers here. :)
[09:39] <freijon> will do, thanks wilee-nilee
[09:41] <shazzr> DigiDaz: Yes. But I think the RevodDrive has two identical physical drives on it. Each containg 55 GB. Running it as RAID0 i get 110 GB.
[09:42] <ome> I have firestarter on my machine and it blocks the internet access to virtualmachines over 'bridge adapter' provided by virtualmachine.
[09:42] <ome> What policy should I set to allow it ?
[09:43] <zeol> hello people I have just migrated to Ubuntu (12.04) from debian and have some basic questions it would be great if someone is willing to help. 1) I would like to keep the GNOME enviromnent, but how do I change the environmemtn at Ubuntu at all??
[09:43] <DigiDaz> Right, just wondered
[09:44] <karthick87> Remote Desktop viewer is very slow in ubuntu. It there any way to speed it up ?
[09:44] <ome> karthick87: speed up your connection. :)
[09:45] <karthick87> ome: LOL i mean, the application itself is taking a long time...
[09:45] <matthewL> zeol: try logging out,, and in the upper right of login screen switch environment.
[09:45] <ome> zeol: if you have already migrated you should see the GNOME-shell is there. and what do you mean by changing the env. ? in run time or login ?
[09:47] <Somelauw> Hey, I tried mpg123, but it can't play wav sounds, is there an utility that can play both mp3 and wav sounds at least?

[09:50] <Jordan_U> !alternate | luk
[09:51] <matthewL> zeol: open ubuntu software center, then search for gnome.
[09:51] <mi3> hello!
[09:51] <matthewL> zeol: install gnome!
[09:51] <Somelauw> MonkeyDust: I am looking for one without an audio player popping up.

[09:53] <matthewL> zeol: easy peasy!
[09:53] <Somelauw> So one that just plays the sound.
[09:54] <mi3> any suggestions?
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> Somelauw  you mean play music in the terminal?
[09:55] <Somelauw> MonkeyDust: Yes, but one that also works without a terminal. So I can do play file.mp3 &
[09:55] <Somelauw> So, nothing curses based
[09:56] <luk> thanks Jordan_U
[09:56] <Jordan_U> luk: You're welcome.
[09:56] <MonkeyDust> Somelauw  you lost me there: no gui and no terminal?
[09:56] <Somelauw> I wanna make a soundboard
[09:56] <luk> do you think i use alternate or desktop
[09:57] <Somelauw> MonkeyDust: like mpg123
[09:58] <Somelauw> Or like play

[10:33] <gulzar> Unity developers here? I want to ask them. Why Canonical/Ubuntu are not taking efforts to port unity to other platforms? Till now only Arch has unity-5.2 package in AUR but other than that its nowhere else to hear about ...
[10:35] <IdleOne> gulzar: That is not a support related question, as for porting Unity, is it not the responsibility of Canonical to do. The source is open and other distros are welcome to port it. use #ubuntu-offtopic for further discussion/chat
[10:36] <gulzar> IdleOne: Thank You. OK will take it there

[11:12] <solofight> people, i want to create 12 GB partition for ubuntu, how much swap space do i need to leave ?
[11:12] <solofight> think i have 1 gb ram
[11:13] <Ben64> if you only have 1GB of ram, I'd say 2GB for swap
[11:13] <ome> Wait... it's my firewall that blocks out the internet access for virtualmachine.
[11:14] <ome> What policy should I define for Firestarter to let virtualmachines access internet over bridge adapter ?
[11:14] <solofight> Ben64: ok thank you

[11:15] <chillidude> anyone know the shortcut in unity to display the desktop?
[11:16] <turgon> hi all, i seem to have a trouble with xkb in Ubuntu 12.04. Can anyone help me ?
[11:16] <auronandace> chillidude: hold the super key to show shortcuts
[11:16] <turgon> my X.org keeps complaining about a syntax error on some "pc" file
[11:16] <chillidude> cool, thanks auronandace
[11:20] <chillidude> auronandace, doesn't appear to be a shortcut just for getting to desktop. i know i could minimize all windows but i don't want to do this
[11:21] <auronandace> chillidude: in that case i don't know sorry, i'm rather new to unity
[11:21] <auronandace> chillidude: there might be an option in myunity though
[11:21] <chillidude> ok thanks anyway.,think ctr+super_d is the only way
[11:22] <chillidude> whats myunity?
[11:22] <auronandace> !info myunity | chillidude
[11:23] <chillidude> thanks
[11:23] <auronandace> chillidude: no worries, its rather nifty but i only use it for 2 things
[11:23] <chillidude> what do you use it for?
[11:24] <wolfric_> what is this? /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/update-apt xapian-index -q it's taking up a lot of cpu
[11:25] <wolfric_> ok i know what it is but why is it taking up so much cpu rather
[11:25] <auronandace> chillidude: making the icons backgrounds transparent and adding extra workspaces
[11:26] <chillidude> just installed it..

[11:29] <nopf> wolfric_: no. i won't. this feature should have to be checked while installation. i consider it a bug
[11:30] <magic_al> where is the network folder within ubuntu
[11:30] <magic_al> ?
[11:31] <ohad_> is there a way to auto-mount a partition so I don't have to mount it with each startup?
[11:32] <pawdro> has side of the window buttons changed? I have it on the right side now :]

[11:34] <nopf> next questio: 12.04, i tap alt, then type 'termi' <- why does this not show any terminal but some other stray things? (well, why does it not show gnome-terminal? what is the idea here?)
[11:35] <chillidude> what do you guys recommend as a lightweight image editor?
[11:35] <kangarooo> im using 10.04 but want to get nautilus how in 12.04 asks about file  overwriting
[11:35] <ohad_> seems very complicated
[11:35] <magic_al> how can i access network computers via console? like 'cd ....'?
[11:35] <chillidude> magic_al, you could use ssh
[11:36] <magic_al> chillidude: how is that working
[11:36] <wa5qjh> anybody know anything about wubi ?
[11:37] <chillidude> magic_al, well first you need to ensure port 22 on the server you are trying to get to is open?
[11:37] <chillidude> i presume you can ping the server / machine?
[11:37] <ohad_> LjL, why not use the Per-User Mounts with udisks?
[11:38] <LjL> ohad_: if you prefer, sure. but i'm not familiar with that method
[11:38] <magic_al> chillidude: how can i check weather it is open or not?
[11:38] <alex_hammer> plz, anyone help me? my problem is on http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=pt&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=pt-BR&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforum-br.org%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D95515&act=url
[11:39] <randomDude> ohad_: oh so you know of ways to auto mount stuff then
[11:39] <randomDude> awesome!
[11:40] <chillidude> magic_al,  you could try this : telnet <IP> 22
[11:41] <wolfric_> magic_al: is the other computer you're controling linux?
[11:41] <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_
[11:42] <ohad_> hehe
[11:42] <wolfric_> magic_al: then if you have an account created on the machine you want to control, type this from your other machine, ssh yourusernamehere@theipaddress
[11:42] <magic_al> wolfric_: actually it is a webserver of a friend. i added a connection to it and now this connection is shown in my 'files' beyond the header 'network'
[11:42] <ohad_> randomDude, It was all thanks to LJL
[11:42] <chillidude> magic_al, is it a windows box?
[11:42] <wolfric_> magic_al: "added a connection to it"? what does that mean?
[11:43] <magic_al> wolfric_: i clickt on 'files' -> 'connect to server....'
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <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 ?
[11:46] <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
[11:47] <wolfric_> magic_al: first, answer my questions please, second, you do need to control it to do git init
[11:47] <wolfric_> magic_al: what was the "type" when you hit connect to server
[11:47] <magic_al> wolfric_: sorry: sftp.
[11:48] <ohad_> is there an indicator that can show temperatures and fan speed in ubuntu 12.04?
[11:48] <wolfric_> magic_al: and what was the address and username
 , thats my problem... http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=pt&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=pt-BR&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http://ubuntuforum-br.org/index.php/topic,95515.0.html&act=url
[11:48] <magic_al> wolfric_: uname: fechner_alex / adress: anarazel.de
[11:49] <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
[11:50] <magic_al> wolfric_: did that already. but if i type in my pw i get the response 'Permission denied, please try again.'
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <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] <cypher-neo> Is there a Terminal command I can run to tell how long it's been since updating the APT repositories?
[11:52] <wolfric_> magic_al: ask your friend to check his logs
 i try ask for help @ the #ubuntu-br , but nobody responds
[11:53] <jackiechan0> hey there after i installed windows 7 how can i restore my grub2 so i will be able to run both Win7 and my Linux ubuntu?
[11:53] <magic_al> wolfric_: ah ok. it works now. u were right, i did a mistake with the login name... sorry
[11:54] <HelplessPenguin> I would just look for a program that can input from that  button and then get it to run shutdown 00 from terminal automatically. It doesn't seem like it would hurt to just patch over something so small.
[11:54] <wolfric_> cypher-neo: try "when last apt update" in google
[11:54] <HelplessPenguin> seems to me like the OS just isn't picking it up
[11:56] <jackiechan0> hey there after i installed windows 7 how can i restore my grub2 so i will be able to run both Win7 and my Linux ubuntu?
[11:56] <wolfric_> jackiechan0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[11:56] <jackiechan0> wolfbyte> tnx
[11:56] <wolfric_> jackiechan0: from google "ubuntu reinstall grub"
[11:57] <jackiechan0> wolfric_> tnx
[11:58] <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)
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <HelplessPenguin> The config was automated by nvidia-config
[12:00] <HelplessPenguin> nvidia-xconfig
[12:01] <HelplessPenguin> it generates a new xorg.conf
[12:03] <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.
[12:04] <sega> hi, all, anybody who can install the ubuntu on toshiba satellite laptop ? already resovled the ACPI bug ?
[12:06] <nopf> um, and how do i logout (not shutdown), i.e. to change to 2d-login?
[12:07] <wolfric_> nopf: 2d-login?
[12:07] <wolfric_> nopf: your login is 3d?
[12:09] <nopf> wolfric_: nut sure if we are miscommunicating here. i know older versions, first day on 12.04... i seem to have the composite effects on (without special hardware drivers), and 'guest login' lets me chose 'normal/2d', so i want that for my running session. have to reboot?
[12:11] <Cantide> nopf, as far as I know you'll need to log out to select it ( 2d ), but after that it will automatically boot into the mode you have selected
[12:11] <IdleOne> nopf: you don't need to reboot. just logout and select 2d.
[12:11] <nopf> Cantide: yeah, i suppose so. only *how to logout*? there's only 'switch user'
[12:12] <Cantide> weird, i get the log out option
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> nopf  you can ctrl-alt-backspace to stop X, it brings you to the login menu
[12:13] <nopf> MonkeyDust: uh, i thouhgt c-a-b was disabled in newer ubuntu? doesn't work here...
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> nopf  no logout, no ctrl-alt-backspace ...
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> nopf  guess there's more to take care of
[12:14] <nopf> MonkeyDust: yeah, and i don't even see 'suspend' and such unlesse i first lock screen...
[12:15] <nopf> MonkeyDust: dunno, this is a fresh install. partly i'm confused, that's for sure, but i think most of it is because of 12.04 which changed some little things
[12:17] <Parading> I'm having problems running ubuntu. I installed it in a usb flash drive using the universal usb installer, rebooted the pc, and then selected "run ubuntu from usb"
[12:17] <Parading> it starts checking everything, but then it locks after a few seconds
[12:18] <Parading> with the last message talking about a ehci_hcd: hc died: cleaning up
[12:18] <Parading> I can't type anything and it just stays there
[12:19] <magic_al> Con anybody help me to conect to a git pepository?
[12:19] <magic_al> I have already initalized a git repo on my server and on my computer
[12:20] <IdleOne> magic_al: #git perhaps
[12:20] <magic_al> #git

[12:20] <Cebor> i have removed my python directory, can i fix this ??  apt-get install python dont work
[12:21] <ohad_> hello
[12:21] <JonEdney> Is there a way to force the update manager to open?  It says I have updates in the Unity icon bar, and there is a window open according to the arrow icon by it, but i can't get it to open.
[12:23] <ohad_> I'm looking for an indicator that can show temps and fan speed on 12.04. any suggestion?
[12:23] <RobinJ1995> can anyone tell me where the default dconf is stored on the ubuntu cd?
[12:24] <shinichi> hello, anyone here can help me?i've got a problem after using wubi for 12.04
[12:25] <IdleOne> ohad_: apt-cache search indicator
[12:25] <IdleOne> ohad_: it lists many
[12:25] <RobinJ1995> shinichi, don't use wubi, its crap and is the easiest way to have everything collapse in no time
[12:26] <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.
[12:27] <Keshi> RobinJ1995: There is nothing inherently evil about it either AFAIK.
[12:27] <RobinJ1995> Keshi, and usually scares them away from linux
[12:27] <shinichi> tried using flash drive to install ubuntu but i had worse coz it wouldn't boot
[12:27] <ohad_> IdleOne, it only shows psensors which doesn't act as an indicator
[12:27] <Keshi> RobinJ1995: Yeah, maybe the older live CD idea was a better option.
[12:27] <RobinJ1995>  shinichi thats how i always do it, seeing as i have no cd drive. works like a charm if you know how to do it, if you don't know, then don't do it
[12:28] <RobinJ1995> older live cd idea?
[12:28] <shinichi> well, the problem is that after installing wubi and then reboot, the error: "prefix" not set shows up..dunno what to do with it though
[12:29] <IdleOne> ohad_: https://launchpad.net/indicator-sensors
[12:30] <ohad_> IdleOne, I wanted to use that, but it's only for oneiric and not 12.04
[12:30] <shinichi> if i install using live-usb, it messes up my system and i couldn't boot both ubuntu and windows 7, i've used live-usb trial to download boot-repair to fix my win7 and it worked, but i still have problems with ubuntu..only black screen appears
[12:30] <chiliblue> anyone use couchpotato here, I have a problem with it moving the renamed files? can't work out whats going on
[12:30] <IdleOne> ohad_: file a feature request and ask them to package for precise, or get the source and compile it.
[12:31] <reghina_> Hi
[12:31] <joni> omg i cannot disable alert sounds without muting output sound
[12:31] <ohad_> where can I learn about compiling such a thing?
[12:31] <ohad_> is it difficult?
[12:31] <reghina_> I cannot see correct .MOV files, neither import them to my PiTiVi
[12:31] <shinichi> RobinJ1995, any ideas about what i said earlier?
[12:31] <joni> is this true or am i just noob 11.10
[12:31] <reghina_> Can somebody give me a hand?
[12:32] <RobinJ1995> shinichi, no and havent got the time to look into it now
[12:32] <joni> Can somebody give me pussy
[12:32] <RobinJ1995> :')
[12:32] <shinichi> RobinJ1995, oh, ok..thanks anyway..i just hope i could fix it..i wanted to try ubuntu.
[12:33] <IdleOne> !compile > ohad_
[12:33] <RobinJ1995> that was fast :p
[12:33] <ubuntunobody> in gnome shell, disabling notifications doesn't prevent annoying network notifications from popping up att bottom/middle, how do you stop that?
[12:34] <RobinJ1995> shinichi, there's always askubuntu.com as well, usually you have a better chance there to get problems fixed. But i'd just use the livecd.
[12:34] <Adlez>  Hi, I cannot see correctly .MOV files, can anybody help me?
[12:35] <ohad_> ok, thanks IdleOne
[12:35] <shinichi> RobinJ1995, ok, i'm trying to find some answers there now as i see i'm not the only one who had experienced the error: "prefix" is not set.
[12:36] <RobinJ1995> lol for some reason i get asked to reboot the system... i havent installed any updates so i don't see why i would.... :p

[12:59] <padman> Hi
[13:00] <Ascavasaion> Hello, what SMALL games come with Ubuntu 10.04 that can be played through Internet against other players?  Something along the lines of checkers on Windows.
[13:00] <MeMeMeMeMe> I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS. which BitTorrent client can I use to download magnet links?
[13:00] <padman> Is anyone having problems with ubuntu 12.04 rebooting while streaming music with firefox
[13:01] <MeMeMeMeMe> FAQ on KTorrent site says that magnet links are supported since version 4. however in this distro there is an older version of KTorrent.
[13:01] <HelplessPenguin> Okay, so I've fixed my problem (kinda)
[13:01] <REK_007> MeMeMeMeMe: deluge ?
[13:02] <MeMeMeMeMe> REK_007: I'll try it, thanks.
[13:02] <HelplessPenguin> I can get into my DE via sudo apt-get reinstall nvidia-current and then rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:03] <HelplessPenguin> But every time I try to generate a new xorg.cong with nvidia-xconfig I get the same problem (FATAL: Module nvidia not found)
[13:03] <REK_007> MeMeMeMeMe: if you can use whatever client you want ... most do support it .. just add the PPA for the same so that you get the latest
[13:04] <HelplessPenguin> How can I find what the nvidia module should be called and install it or edit the xorg.conf to point to it
[13:05] <rdz> Blarrffll, thanks for the link.. i thinkn this about the wifi password.. but my problem is about the login password that network-manager requests in order to get the wifi password from the keyring
[13:06] <bWowk> Where can I find the development tree and/or logs for indicator-network?
[13:07] <rdz> Blarrffll, i'm using fluxbox and it turned everything is ok in unity (12.04). then i also figured out why it works in unity but not in fluxbox.. i have to start gnome-keyring-daemon with the ffollowing options: --login --damonize
[13:07] <ssta> bWowk: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/indicator-network/ubuntu
[13:07] <HelplessPenguin> **How do I get a list of all installed modules?**
[13:07] <bWowk> ssta: thanks a bunch
[13:07] <HelplessPenguin> **How do I get a list of all installed modules?**
[13:08] <ssta> bWowk: in general, to find the source tree for something: apt-cache showsrc <package>
[13:08] <bWowk> ssta: thanks again

[13:09] <wookienz> guys, bit of a curly one. I run davmail - an exchange email conduit to thunderbird. It is on eth1 under .2.21. On that server i also have eth0 on .3.21. Davmail calls a java instance when executed. However ti wont work if a. there si not default route defined for .2.21 OR the default route that is defined has a better metric then the .3.21 route. Davmail has been told explicity to use the .2.21 eth but to no avail. Is java the culprit here?
[13:10] <MeMeMeMeMe> REK_007: deluge from distro works well, thanks.

[13:13] <Z_God> anyone here who knows why ia32-libs is still not installable on precise?
[13:13] <Z_God> I would expect the issues with it to have been solved before the release, because some packages still depend on it
[13:15] <OerHeks> Z_God, ubuntu 12.04 is multi-arch, all you need is multiarch support, which is enabled by default.
[13:16] <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] <Z_God> and multiarch seems to be very buggy
[13:16] <OerHeks> Z_God, maybe the wiki is any help > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch
[13:17] <Z_God> I tried installing acroread:i386, but then I wants acroread-common:i386 even though acroread-common is an architecure independant package (all)
[13:19] <Z_God> OerHeks: this wikipage is outdated, it still talks about ia32-libs, but this package hasn't been installable without causing huge issues on precise for multiple months
[13:19] <OerHeks> Z_God, the wiki is not outdated, i see many bugreports about acroread > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/990761
[13:20] <Z_God> OerHeks: that page is, ia32-libs on precise is impossible right now
[13:22] <Z_God> OerHeks: thanks but the bug, it's the problem I'm running into
[13:22] <OerHeks> Z_God, please confirm this bug, is can help
[13:22] <Z_God> OerHeks: I already did :)
[13:22] <OerHeks> great :-)
[13:25] <neure> hi
[13:26] <neure> i installed lubuntu, how do i switch to say kubuntu?
[13:27] <OerHeks> neure install kubuntu, log out ( not shut down) and change the DM to kubuntu and log back in.
[13:27] <neure> how do install kubuntu? how do i change DM?
[13:28] <Crypto_> I upgraded my kernel on ubuntu and now I can't use my wired connection. putting the kernel back to an earlier version fixes it but I want to use the newer linux kernel, any way I could fix this?
[13:28] <neure> kubuntu-desktop package?
[13:28] <Z_God> neure: yes
[13:29] <OerHeks> neure yes, kubuntu desktop package is the metapackage
[13:29] <neure> ok
[13:29] <neure> and how do i change DM?
[13:29] <EternaL> hi all, i try to make a symbolic link to a library in a install section of makefile but i doesn't work : http://pastebin.com/xN6BtDnz
[13:29] <EternaL> can you help me ?
[13:29] <OerHeks> neure log out, change DM ( i think it is somewere near keyboard/language) and log back in
[13:30] <neure> oh it in the login gui? ok
[13:30] <ohad_> I'm using 12.04. Is it possible that my kernel doesn't have the new i916 enabled?
[13:31] <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] <neure> and find out which packages take so many MB.. ?)
[13:31] <Crypto_> its ethernet, not wireless
[13:31] <Crypto_> and the eth0 interface is working, but as soon as I try to connect it fails
[13:33] <Qalqi> my tilda terminal keeps blinking like crazy
[13:33] <Qalqi> should i give it my attention?
[13:34] <OerHeks> Crypto_, oke, did you ty to reset the router, does that solve any?
[13:34] <Crypto_> I did try, doesnt solve anything, the router recognizes it as a working connection and can identify my computer
[13:35] <meisth0th> hello
[13:35] <Crypto_> networking is enabled, if thats something you were possibly going to ask
[13:36] <OerHeks> Crypto_, no, i was thinking about network adresses, do you use DHCP?
[13:36] <meisth0th> i have a python gtk application that has a tray icon, as i understand ubuntu has indicator thing instead of tray, where can i find documentation of how can i implement indicator support?
[13:36] <Crypto_> I think so
[13:37] <OerHeks> Crypto_, there is a "for all users" checkbox at the bottom of your wired preferences, is it check on?
[13:37] <Crypto_> Yes it is
[13:38] <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?
[13:39] <OerHeks> Crypto_, odd, i can't think of any other solution.
[13:39] <Crypto_> I could show you some debug I got from terminal when trying to use network manager to enable the connection
[13:40] <ohad_> can anyone advise on how to "fix" the issue of the x220 fan that suddenly jumps to 3500 rpm when I'm doing nothing
[13:40] <ohad_> ?

[14:05] <OerHeks> Crypto_, i read some bugs, about wired network, it can take some time ( first time) to get DHCP enabled, up to a minute .. does this apply to you too?
[14:05] <Crypto_> its been like that for 4 days so I doubt it
[14:06] <ubuntu> hello
[14:06] <i3luefire> stars69, after u do $su and put in the root password you should be able to do anything
[14:07] <i3luefire> No sudo needed
[14:07] <godrink> tar.gz , is this archive? how i can install tar.gz file?
[14:07] <OerHeks> i3luefire, the ubuntu way is "sudo -i"
[14:07] <i3luefire> OerHeks, but if your sudo is broken you need su
[14:08] <OerHeks> godrink, double click on it, and fileroller will open
[14:08] <llutz> i3luefire: "su" only works with an enabled root-account, ubuntu doesn'thave by default
[14:08] <LjL> i3luefire: but su doesn't work in a default Ubuntu install.
[14:08] <i3luefire> Oh
[14:08] <OerHeks> i3luefire, oh yes, sudo is broken, that can be fixed with live cd
[14:08] <OerHeks> !sudo
[14:08] <OerHeks> see psychocats
[14:08] <godrink> i can to do that , bt5 online

[14:16] <RyoRonin> godrink: is it a tar.xz file?

[14:16] <LjL> godrink: you need gunzip or just tar. those are almost certainly available. if not, you need to refer to the backtrack support venues, we can't help you here.
[14:16] <godrink> oi sorry
[14:16] <godrink> this is tar.gz
[14:17] <BlessJah> are crash reports sent anonymously?

[14:36] <cpuwolf> thanks
[14:36] <ayuba> i cannt install my printer driver
[14:36] <chsados> do i need to install my 16gb usb drive to FAT32 ?
[14:37] <Jonathon> But if I get help quick I'll be right out
[14:37] <ayuba> pleaseee help
[14:38] <Urulu> Jonathon, Sometimes, I think, that IRCing from LiveCD "might" show up here as 'root', but I'm not certain about that..
[14:38] <Jonathon> Whenever I try to start up ubuntu it freezes right before the login screen
[14:38] <Jonathon> Urulu, I'm on an install, not a livecd
[14:39] <Jonathon> Urulu, I was in root because I was running fsck, and just forgot to unroot
[14:39] <loot> I have a question, about a live cd
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <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.
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <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.
[14:45] <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
[14:46] <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
[14:47] <ayuba> i have folder named packages, resources and install.sh
[14:47] <Jonathon> ayuba, alright good
[14:47] <sandprickle> Has anybody else had problems installing desktop i386 from cd?
[14:47] <Jonathon> ayuba, now just open your terminal, cd to that directory, and type ./install.sh
[14:47] <PePeR_> nope
[14:48] <zykotic10> sandprickle: can you supply some details?  blackscreen?
[14:48] <Urulu> sandprickle, Did you md5sum the ISO image prior to burning at the slowest speed?
[14:48] <sandprickle> it hangs trying to load the b43 firmware
[14:48] <sandprickle> no i md5sumed after :)
[14:49] <PePeR_> does anyone know how to substitute the freedoom music for the orignal doom music
[14:49] <Urulu> sandprickle, And, I presume that the hashes agreed?
[14:49] <sandprickle> I was i windows and didn't have an md5sum program installed. and i only saw one speed to burn. checked the disk for errors.
[14:49] <sandprickle> yep
[14:50] <JonEdney> oCean, I like to spread greatings everywhere I go!
[14:50] <Jonathon> Whenever I try to start up ubuntu, It goes alright, But right before the login screen comes up, it freezes
[14:50] <ayuba> no such directorry
[14:50] <sandprickle> I'm gonna boot it again to get the message...
[14:50] <ayuba> im sorry this is my 1st using ubuntu
[14:51] <oCean> Jonathon: please don't do that in our support channels. Imagine every single user here doing so
[14:51] <oCean> JonEdney: ^
[14:51] <Jonathon> ayuba, Try surrounded the directory in quotes
[14:51] <oCean> Jonathon: sorry, message was not for you
[14:51] <JonEdney> No problem oCean
[14:51] <Jonathon> like cd "/this/is/a/directory"
[14:52] <Jonathon> oCean, I was like, What'd I do O.o
[14:52] <Urulu> Jonathon, I wish I was more adept at trouble shooting the type of problem you're describing, sorry. Have you searched and or posted at ubuntuforums.org?
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <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'. :)
[14:55] <sandprickle> ok, want that message?
[14:56] <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] <Urulu> !pastebin | sandprickle,
[14:57] <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
[14:58] <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. :)
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <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
[15:01] <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?
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <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.
[15:04] <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] <ayuba> bravo can print already thank a lot
[15:04] <Jonathon> ayuba, good good, glad to hear ^^
[15:05] <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...
[15:06] <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 :)
[15:07] <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'
[15:08] <sandprickle> http://paste.ubuntu.com/983640/
[15:08] <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?
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <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] <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
[15:11] <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?
[15:12] <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.
[15:13] <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.
[15:14] <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?
[15:15] <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"
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <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
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <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.
[15:20] <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?
[15:22] <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] <mikeh_> yup, ok thanks zykotic10
[15:24] <mneptok> mikeh_: FYI, Ubuntu version numbers are dates. 8.04 was released April of 2008. so it's not 8.0.4. ;)
[15:25] <mikeh_> thanks mneptok
[15:28] <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.
[15:29] <mneptok> kapz: print an image from LibreOffice.
[15:31] <kapz> mneptok, did that, prints instantly.
[15:32] <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?
[15:33] <kapz> Jonathon, well it's going on since long time..
[15:34] <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
[15:35] <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] <Jonathon> msgubuntu, be specific :)
[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
[15:36] <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
[15:37] <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?
[15:38] <Jonathon> Evenin
[15:38] <mca_> i need helpp
[15:38] <Jonathon> msgubuntu, If you know exactly which card you have, You might be able to
[15:38] <Jonathon> mca_, be specific
[15:38] <msgubuntu> Jonathon(yellow) thanks!
[15:39] <Jonathon> msgubuntu, np
[15:40] <mamece2> !espanol
[15:40] <mamece2> hello i have some problems setting VLC remote in my iphone, does anyone how to configure it?
[15:41] <Kaleidoscope> mamece2, is the problem with VLC on your Ubuntu, or the remote program in your phone?
[15:41] <mamece2> Kaleidoscope: with the ubuntu settings
[15:42] <mamece2> #ubuntu-es
[15:42] <mca_> I have 11.10 and i can't upgrade to 12.04 because my computer doesn't support pae but what do i do on april 2013 when 11.10 expires my computer is a hp dv6000
[15:43] <msgubuntu> if I'm running Ubuntu from a DVD, can I install system drivers to my HD?
[15:43] <Kaleidoscope> mca_, pae?
[15:43] <zykotic10> !pae | Kaleidoscope
[15:43] <Kaleidoscope> msgubuntu, Not really, There is possible ways, but it's very very difficult
[15:44] <Kaleidoscope> zykotic10, thanks
[15:44] <mca_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[15:44] <Kaleidoscope> mca_, and you can't use a 64bit Ubuntu?
[15:44] <mamece2> Has anyone set VLC remote on his ubuntu?
[15:44] <Qualia> guys my video drivers are completely messed up, can somebody please help me, im frustrated
[15:45] <Qualia> i installed the opensource and fglrx cant seem to understand which one is active and uninstalled... i cant completely uninstall them. i want the opensource to be active and the unity desktop is working in 2d nao
[15:45] <Qualia> will anybody volunteer to help ?
[15:45] <mca_> how do i upgrade 32 to 64 bit
[15:45] <oCean> mca_: not possible, re-install is only option
[15:46] <Kaleidoscope> mca_, and you have to be sure your laptop supports 64bit
[15:46] <mca_> it can run win7 64bit
[15:47] <Kaleidoscope> mca_, then good, so what you can do is back up your important files, and re install Ubuntu after Downloading the 64bit version
[15:47] <msgubuntu> I see. I'm having graphical problems with running Ubuntu from my hard disk, and was recommended to install the correct drivers for my Graphics card; any potential solutions?
[15:48] <zykotic10> msgubuntu: what card?  "lspci | grep -i vga" will show you, if you aren't sure.
[15:48] <mca_> i installed a lot of packages in terminal
[15:48] <msgubuntu> amd radeon hd6450
[15:48] <Gnea> msgubuntu: well that all depends which video card you have
[15:48] <Kaleidoscope> mca_, You'll likely have to reinstall all of them
[15:48] <Gnea> !radeon | msgubuntu
[15:49] <mca_> whats i386
[15:49] <Kaleidoscope> 64bit programs differ from the 32bit ones, and 1386 is 32bit
[15:49] <Gnea> mca_: it's the architecture type
[15:49] <spike30001> I did install the ubuntu 11.04 64bit before but found a lot of apps games would not run in 64
[15:49] <Kaleidoscope> i386*
[15:50] <spike30001> Linux does not seem to have moved forward enough as Win7 on 64 bit from what I can see. Win7 64 is superb.
[15:51] <Kaleidoscope> spike30001, I would beg to differ, I've never had a problem with any program on my 64bit install
[15:51] <cq75> I have a question about ssh and ubuntu server -- I started some services on my server through ssh, and they terminated when I ended the session, why is that? Can I change that?
[15:51] <spike30001> Maybe I needed to give it more time, I don't have the most patients
[15:51] <mca_> i tried that earlier and i386 didn't work
[15:51] <zykotic10> cq75: you might want to look into screen (i take it your services are not system services)
[15:52] <Gnea> spike30001: such discussion is not within the parameters of this chat channel
[15:52] <Kaleidoscope> spike30001, Linux always recquires patience :P
[15:52] <cq75> hmm... screen... and no they are not system services
[15:52] <mca_> but ill try 64bit
[15:52] <zykotic10> !info screen
[15:52] <der_On> hi9
[15:52] <Qualia> i dropped if anyone answered me please repost
[15:53] <Qualia> !info screen
[15:53] <Qualia> :(
[15:53] <spike30001> your right, but im getting 3.9 gig memory reading on 32bit Unbuntu ver 12 so happy enough. May install  64bit again in the future
[15:53] <cq75> zykotic10 - so using this will keep my programs running after I disconnect?
[15:53] <zykotic10> cq75: yes
[15:53] <spike30001> Hi Gnea what was I not supposed to talk about?
[15:54] <cq75> thanks, I'll give it a try
[15:54] <spike30001> Thought it was free chat.
[15:54] <Gnea> spike30001: I haven't had a problem with 64 bit Ubuntu running anything. what programs are you referring to, exactly?
[15:54] <Gnea> !guidelines | spike30001
[15:54] <Kaleidoscope> spike30001, He means keep it related to ubuntu questions, Not idle chit chat :P
[15:54] <der_On> since an update to ubuntu  12.04 sometimes network manager won't see my wlan-router after a startup. I then have to reset my router to make it work. However on a windows machine the router works fine all the time and it also did on 11.10
[15:54] <der_On> did anyone know this? and maybe a solution?
[15:54] <Gnea> spike30001: and, most certainly, not an OS flamewar :P
[15:55] <spike30001> did have a few games nothing major not run I could give it another try
[15:55] <spike30001> may have been Open Arena
[15:55] <Gnea> spike30001: what kind of games? windows-based?
[15:55] <Gnea> oh
[15:55] <spike30001> no linux
[15:55] <Gnea> I have played OA on 64bit Linux perfectly
[15:55] <spike30001> have you
[15:55] <Gnea> had to make sure 3D video drivers were setup correctly first
[15:55] <Allandrick> hi folks - does anyone here have any experience using nictool with ubuntu?
[15:55] <spike30001> maybe I did something wrong
[15:55] <Kaleidoscope> spike30001, Also you could've possibly had a bad install
[15:56] <spike30001> I have a newer graphics card now maybe it was a hardware issue
[15:56] <Kaleidoscope> Could've been
[15:56] <spike30001> could have been a bad install
[15:56] <spike30001> got a hd6770 so things are running better now
[15:57] <Kaleidoscope> Good to hear, Should you get the chance, You should give 64bit a try again
[15:58] <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
[15:59] <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
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <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?
[16:02] <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.
[16:03] <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] <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
[16:04] <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] <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
[16:05] <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?
[16:06] <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
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <Bsims> spike30001: I will say windows 7 is actually good
[16:08] <Darkenvy> AHA!
[16:08] <spike30001> Win7 64bit is superb
[16:08] <zykotic10> !ot
[16:08] <spike30001> i have it on duel boot with ubuntu 12.04
[16:08] <Darkenvy> CCSM had an option to disable unity!
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <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
[16:11] <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.
[16:12] <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?
[16:13] <spike30001> win7 ultimate edition didn't know there was a ubuntu one
[16:13] <zykotic10> !derivatives | ndairou
[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
[16:14] <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] <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
[16:15] <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
[16:16] <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.
[16:17] <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] <mguy> I was using Lubuntu 11 but regular Ubuntu 12.04 seems speedy. 1.2GHz Core 2 with Intel video
[16:17] <zykotic10> !fr | ndairou
[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
[16:18] <Kaleidoscope> spike30001, I prefer performance than flashy :P
[16:18] <mneptok> !ot | spike30001
[16:18] <Darkenvy> I mean I only upgraded because 10.10 hit a dead end XD.
[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
[16:19] <Darkenvy> Another question: Alternatives for Xinerama? Multimonitor support under same X?
[16:19] <mguy> PePeR_: That has nothing to do with Ubuntu!
[16:19] <spike30001> ran lubuntu on a 800mhz 256 ram it was slow
[16:19] <mneptok> spike30001: STOP the offtopic banter.
[16:19] <mneptok> spike30001: "this is good
[16:19] <Kaleidoscope> For those specs, Might as well just junk it :P
[16:19] <mneptok> spike30001: "i ran this."
[16:19] <mneptok> Kaleidoscope: you, too.
[16:19] <mneptok> one last time, folks.
[16:19] <Kaleidoscope> Or mess with like windows 3.1
[16:20] <mneptok> !ot
[16:20] <Kaleidoscope> mneptok, Fine
[16:20] <spike30001> it were talking about ubuntu and how it compares with different specs and issues how is this off topic
[16:20] <spike30001> is there a set topic then
[16:20] <oCean> spike30001: type /topic
[16:20] <cq75> screen works great zykotic10, thank you
[16:21] <mneptok> spike30001: it is not a support question. it is not a support answer. thus it is offtopic.
[16:21] <zykotic10> cq75: glad to help
[16:21] <spike30001> ok thanks.
[16:21] <oCean> spike30001: this channel is for technical ubuntu issues only. For discussion /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:21] <spike30001> ok thankyou sir.
[16:22] <Kaleidoscope> Ok, I'll be back later, Gonna try and fix my install now. Wish me luck...
[16:22] <spike30001> good luck kaleidoscope
[16:25] <mp> ciao

[16:27] <oCean> killtrace: please don't paste here, and acronyms such as wtf are not welcome here
[16:27] <Bsims> killtrace: ah disable the ppas... then try again
[16:27] <fl1bbl3> ppa doesnt exist
[16:27] <Darkenvy> I got a wierd message "developement of precise is over…."
[16:27] <fl1bbl3> 404
[16:28] <killtrace> how to do that?
[16:28] <mneptok> killtrace: language, please. and you have PPAs in your sources that apparently are not available ATM.
[16:28] <Darkenvy> but precice is 12.04 and it just begun?
[16:28] <tdelam> "acronyms such as wtf are not welcome here", lol
[16:28] <killtrace> how to disable?
[16:28] <oCean> Darkenvy: "development" stage is before the actual release
[16:28] <Bsims> killtrace: are you using synaptic or the ubuntu software manager?
[16:28] <oCean> tdelam: no need to repeat that
[16:28] <killtrace> ubuntu
[16:28] <Darkenvy> oh its now so clear to me XD. I misunderstood what the box was saying
[16:28] <Bsims> killtrace: Ok look for something like repositories or sources
[16:28] <tdelam> oCean: I was laughing about that
[16:29] <oCean> tdelam: let's move on, ok
[16:29] <Bsims> killtrace: find it?
[16:29] <tdelam> oCean: already have, I'm not sure why you need to respond
[16:29] <ohad_> no one encountered the disappearance of the wireless indicator??
[16:30] <killtrace> nope I'm looking in Ubuntu Software Center?
[16:30] <killtrace> I have synaptic too,can that help?
[16:30] <mneptok> tdelam: in case you missed the discussion of offtopic-ness, this is support questions and answers only. not "paste it back and lol to show my amusement." so oCean responded to things so you are aware of the rules.
[16:31] <Bsims> killtrace: either one will work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu then click on other software... and uncheck them
[16:31] <dvanamst> My Update Manager gives a strange free disk space error, it says I have only 222 Mb free while my root partition has over 5 Gb free. My /boot partition instead has 222 Mb free. Does this sounds familiar to anyone ?
[16:32] <sonsee> Hello everyone. I have recently installed ubuntu 12.04 (clean new install with new /home) and my laptop randomly freezes (not just X, I cant even switch to console). I figured that every time this happens (and there are no patterns of why this is happening, I mean, sometimes I watch a video, sometimes I´m just using Dia to draw something) I get this error in syslog, and this is the last message before a "freeze": kernel: [28081.815914] [

[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
[16:36] <dvanamst> mneptok : yeah right... my bad.
[16:36] <dvanamst> feeling quite stupid now :)
[16:36] <dvanamst> misread the output
[16:36] <mguy> dvanamst: Is this a real server or VM? The disk is very small
[16:37] <Bsims> Kaleidoscope: Hrm... try booting of a live cd and doing a chroot?
[16:37] <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] <killtrace> so I can copy?
[16:37] <mneptok> dvanamst: 10:33 < dvanamst> /dev/sda7 {SIZE = 5,8G}  {USED=5,3G}  {AVAILABLE = 214M}  {DISK USAGE = 97%} {MOUNTED AT = /}
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> dvanamst  you the 3rd party app ubuntu-tweak to clean your system, it's not in the repos, you have to download it
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> use*
[16:37] <Bsims> Ouch sorry Kaleidoscope I's out of ideas
[16:38] <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] <Bsims> killtrace: copy and paste that into a terminal
[16:38] <killtrace> I try that and I get some errors
[16:38] <killtrace> with repository
[16:39] <Bsims> killtrace:  Hrm may have to disable the ppas then do "sudo apt-get update" first
[16:39] <R33p3r> hello
[16:40] <killtrace> ok so I need to remove all lines that have ppa in them..../
[16:40] <Bsims> Yes
[16:40] <killtrace> kk
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <BLZbubba> is there a way to fix this?
[16:42] <killtrace> ok I will let u know in few min.
[16:46] <joint> when is zorin os 6 coming out.. or mint 13?

[16:50] <Strav`> Hi! I'm having the following issue since my upgrade to 12.04: http://askubuntu.com/questions/133770/wireless-on-an-acer-aspire-1810t-with-an-intel-5100agn-works-for-less-than-a-day/134951#134951 It forces me to reboot my laptop several times a day. Anyone knows a workaround, I launchpad bug that's related to it, anything? (this is getting extremely annoying for me).
[16:51] <uxq> is there anything I can do to capture a GPU/Nvidia freeze/lockup?
[16:52] <Darkenvy> How can I change my subcontect-menu colours in gnome3?
[16:52] <Darkenvy> There seems to be WAY less theme editing settings than ubuntu 10.04
[16:52] <Matan[M]> hi, i don't have libreoffice icons in dock, how can i switch on it?
[16:52] <ohad_> can anyone please help me? my network/wireless indicator has disappeared from the upper systray. what can I do to fix it?
[16:52] <Matan[M]> (run/minimalized) ofcourse
[16:53] <popey> uxq: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> Darkenvy  gnome-tweak-tool is what you want
[16:54] <ohad_> Matan[M], open libreoffice and right-click its icon and pick "lock to launcher"
[16:54] <Darkenvy> MonkeyDust I have this and I cannot find the additional settings I want
[16:55] <Matan[M]> ohad_: working, thx
[16:55] <Darkenvy> The settings did exist in 10.04 for themes so idk why they wouldnt let you edit them now
[16:56] <stars69> hi anyone here run glftpd on ubuntu 12?
[16:56] <Lorra> Hi everyone! Has anybody ever used optical character recognition software, I was using some called tesseract to scan a document which has text on two columns but I only get the first one. Does anybody have a clue about that?

[17:00] <dave2012> Hi, I have installed the latest ubuntu and also installed skanlite, scanner utility and xane, I have an epson artizan px710w but all those progs are telling me that there is no scanner attached, yet I can print from it ok....any ideas?
[17:01] <mister2> thanks zykotic :)
[17:01] <mme> hi every body
[17:02] <mister2> hi mme
[17:02] <rabbi1> pycurl.error: (35, 'gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.')
[17:02] <rabbi1> what is the error, how to solve ? ^^
[17:02] <mister2> rabbil, what were you doing when you got it?
[17:02] <mme> how can i install copmpizfusion in ubuntu 12.04
[17:03] <Lorra> mister2, I've tried some, but apparently they didn't keep up with youtube updates and they didn't work
[17:03] <rabbi1> mister2: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
[17:03] <dave2012> synaptic package manager?
[17:03] <mister2> open up a terminal and type in 'sudo apt-get install' and then whatever you want to install mme
[17:03] <mister2> oh, yeah, or synaptic
[17:04] <mister2> rabbil i would assume the connection to the package server was funky in some way, but i'm not terribly knowledgeable ;)
[17:04] <mister2> Lorra that's too bad, i've been using saveyoutube reliably for a while and it's being grumpy right now... not sure if it's the video or just the time
[17:04] <zykotic10> mme: if you use Unity - compiz already is installed, you might want ccsm to configure it
[17:05] <rabbi1> mister2: ok,but hw can add it GUI way in 12.04 ?
[17:05] <mister2> anybody else having errors updating package lists? i'm not sure if it's the library being funky with my network traffic
[17:05] <mister2> rabbil i'm not sure, i'm still on 11.04 ;)
[17:05] <mister2> i hated unity and just stopped updating cause i didn't feel like it....
[17:05] <sirriffsalot> For the life of me I can't find out where the Ubuntu manuals are... anyone?:)
[17:05] <escott> !manual | sirriffsalot
[17:05] <Resistance> !notunity | mister2
[17:06] <mister2> resistance i'm aware, i haven't bothered to deal with it
[17:06] <Resistance> mister2:  gnome-shell is okayish, but you may consider using that
[17:06] <sirriffsalot> escott: thanks...:)
[17:06] <mister2> 11.04 has unity too, i'm in gnome classic
[17:06]  * Resistance uses KDE, but that's his own personal choice
[17:06] <killtrace> Bsims r u there?
[17:06] <Resistance> mister2:  ah, see i installed the kde environment alongside gnome ;P
[17:06] <mister2> yeah, i'm not a fan of kde, mainly i just don't want to screw with reinstalling again
[17:06] <mister2> especially without an external hdd
[17:06] <mme> i used this in terminal sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald librsvg2-common
[17:07] <mme> but i got E: Unable to locate package emerald
[17:07] <ThinkT510> mme: emerald is no longer maintained, thus it isn't in the repo
[17:07] <mister2> mme that should do the trick, oh, well then take out the 'emerald' part
[17:07] <killtrace> did u installed it?
[17:07] <zykotic10> !emerald | mme
[17:09] <nmatrx9> Anyone know where I can purchase immediate Ubuntu technical support?
 what is supported alternatives please
[17:09] <zykotic10> mme: There are no known, supported alternatives
[17:09] <nmatrx9> went to the website but their telling me I have to wait 2 days sorry but I can't wait that long
[17:09] <ASL> I have a big problem with my ubuntu 12.04
[17:09] <Resistance> mme:  there are no known supported alternatives, but don't ping the bot directly, its a bot :)_
[17:09] <Resistance> :) *
[17:09] <mister2> I HATE LIBRARIES WITH WEIRD PACKET REDIRECTION :(
[17:09] <nmatrx9> any other services that offer ubuntu support
[17:09] <mister2> wrong channel :$
[17:10] <rabbi1> us apt-get update is same as install updates under upgrade manager ?
[17:10] <Resistance> mister2:  happens to us all :P
[17:10] <rabbi1> *is apt-get update is same as install updates under upgrade manager ?
[17:10] <nmatrx9> anyone manage to install software raid 10 on their system?
[17:10] <mme> I can install beryl and how
[17:10] <zykotic10> rabbi1: nope, the cli equivalent of update-manager is "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[17:10] <wylde_> rabbi1: no 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' is though.
[17:11] <mister2> zykotic10 no it's not...
[17:11] <nmatrx9> I've been struggling for over a week and none of the online documentation has been helpful
[17:11] <ASL> Im having this problem where whenever i restart or shutdown and boot backup, it just sits at a black screen with a little underscore spinning.. thats it. Ubuntu doesnt boot, but as soon as i reboot with the Ubuntu CD it reboots back into ubuntu just fine and i can login and do whatever
[17:11] <zykotic10> mister2: yes it is
[17:11] <mister2> isn't it upgrade? dist-upgrade upgrades you to the latest release
[17:11] <mister2> right?
[17:11] <zykotic10> mister2: dist-upgrade is not related to going to a new version
[17:11] <nmatrx9> ASL I'm having a similar problem but for raid10
[17:11] <rabbi1> wylde_: upgrade is for next available version, right ?
[17:11] <mister2> zykotic10 then what's the difference between dist-upgrade and upgrade?
[17:11] <a7x> alt+stamp on 12.04 is bugged right? :P
[17:11] <mme> ubottu: I can install beryl and how
[17:12] <zykotic10> mister2: upgrade doesn't add new stuff - and the gui update manager does
[17:12] <Resistance> zykotic10:  apt-get upgrade is what update-manager does
[17:12] <wylde_> rabbi1: yes, if there's an upgrade for a package that will install it.
[17:12] <zykotic10> Resistance: incorrect
[17:12] <mister2> zykotic10 goooood to know!
[17:12] <Resistance> zykotic10:  show me the evidence then
[17:12] <KingBeast> What's up with this red triangle always popping up on my panel saying update information out of date?
[17:12] <zykotic10> Resistance: believe what you want.
[17:13] <ASL> nmatrx9 I dont know what the problem is.. I have never had this happen before. Its on my laptop .. not that that makes a difference but it is just wierd.. Its like there is no bootloader
[17:13] <KingBeast> apt-get upgrade does not add packages
[17:13] <KingBeast> wait upgrade does update does not
[17:13] <mme> I can install beryl and how
[17:14] <ASL> how can i install/reinstall ubuntus boot loader?
[17:14] <zykotic10> mme: beryl is long gone...
[17:14] <zykotic10> !grub | ASL
[17:14] <mister2> kingbeast update just downloads package lists
[17:14] <KingBeast> exactly
[17:14] <KingBeast> i know that
[17:15] <mister2> kingbeast didn't notice your second comment ;)
[17:15] <shazzr> Still having issues installing Ubuntu 12.04 on my RevoDrive. It installs. It even finds the RAID setup, but the machine is unable to find a bootable device.
[17:15] <freijon> Hey there. I've read the news about the games EA has placed in the software center. however, they don't seem to be installable. It tells me "There isn’t a software package called “tiberiumalliances” in your current software sources"
[17:15] <freijon> Am I missing some software sources?
[17:17] <meco> Can anyone tell me what this 'cpu hung' error on log in means: http://pastebin.com/vEpMavc9
[17:18] <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.
[17:19] <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] <nmatrx9> I'm just extremely disappointed at the moment with software raid support on Ubuntu
[17:20] <jsd> any u12 users?
[17:20] <meco> ok. Does that explain why attempting to play a video in VLC only gives audio but no video?
[17:20] <nmatrx9> I've done it previously one centos in a little over a day with Ubuntu it's taken nearly a week
[17:20] <escott> nmatrx9, are you using the alternate installer?
[17:20] <t0rx__> anyone know how I can drop to a busybox shell at boot / splash?
[17:21] <escott> t0rx__, break the root= argument to the kernel
[17:21] <cq75> I'm having trouble getting my laptop to communicate over ethernet and wifi, I tried a few tutorials on setting up the internet but all that happened was I got a very slow response from computers even on the LAN, any suggestions?
[17:21] <meco> escott: Do I report it as a bug?
[17:21] <cq75> at this time I can't get it to communicate over ethernet at all
[17:22] <t0rx__> escott, thanks where's that, grub conf somewhere?
[17:22] <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] <jsd> couple questions for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS users, wondering how to save screen positions so they open in the same spot later, also, any gui's that work for changing refresh rate, using ATI HD3300 integrated graphics, using the Ubuntu fgrlx? proprietary driver from 'additional drivers' section in system settings, I'm a new convert from XP, my first Linux venture
[17:23] <mme> please how can i install GRUB2 Editor
[17:23] <escott> t0rx__, or just hit shift on boot and manually edit the grub entry (which is not permanent). i'm not clear why you would want to do such a thing
[17:23] <escott> !ccsm | jsd
[17:23] <meco> escott: Well, the error occurred on login, so VLC wan't rnuning yet.
[17:23] <jsd> escott, ccsm doesnt seem to work
[17:24] <rabbi1> update -> updated repos, upgrade -> new version of ubunut, dist-upgrade -> upgrades the packages...... perfect ?
[17:24] <jsd> I put a script in the startup for changing refresh to 85, looking for a gui that works
[17:24] <jsd> xrandr command
[17:24] <mme> please how can i install GRUB2 Editor
[17:25] <rabbi1> update -> updates repos, upgrade -> new version of ubuntu, dist-upgrade -> upgrades the packages...... perfect ?
[17:25] <wylde_> rabbi1: no, upgrade just upgrades packages that have updates available.
[17:25] <escott> jsd, in what way does ccsm not work?
[17:25] <wylde_> !patience | rabbi1
[17:25] <jsd> I can slide the refresh bar and it changes the rate in ccsm but doesn't actually change it
[17:25] <jsd> sec, double checking
[17:26] <wylde_> !grub > mme
[17:26] <jsd> refresh in composite doesn't even have bar to slide, just a number to enter
[17:26] <rabbi1> wylde_: thnx, i din't repeat, i had a typo in my previous msg, so resent the correct one
[17:26] <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)
[17:27] <jsd> starts up with 50hz normally and I can enter 85 and it stays 85 in ccsm, but when I check xrandr and reboot, it still shows 60
[17:27] <kul123> Hello, I need small help. How to connect internet using AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G (AC313U) on Ubuntu/Mint?
[17:27] <escott> jsd, i was suggesting ccsm for your window placement thing. for refresh rates xrandr or modifying /etc/X11/Xorg.conf are the correct things to modify
[17:28] <mme> ubottu: Imean this one https://ksmanis.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/grub2-editor-v0-5-5/
[17:28] <rabbi1> escott: that's more like it, :) thx, good to learn more commands like this.... .always !
[17:28] <t0rx__>  /exit
[17:28] <jsd> also, used brasero for a test burn of flac files, seemed to enter some pops in the final cd even using hdd for buffer...wondering if there's any really good burning software you would recommend for making mixes from flac files
[17:29] <NewBuntu> hi there, do we have any mdadm (software raid) experts here?
[17:29] <rabbi1> ubottu: lol,
[17:29] <jsd> xrandr -s 1024x768 -r 85    this is the script I put into the startup applications mgr and it seems to work so far, just for reference
[17:30] <nmatrx9> escott I'm using the live CD?
[17:30] <kul123> How to connect internet using AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G (AC313U) on Ubuntu/Mint? -- Thanks in advance.
[17:30] <escott> !alternate | nmatrx9
[17:30] <jsd> thanks escott, will look into ccsm for window saving positions, haven't been through the entire ccsm thing yet
[17:31] <nmatrx9> *sigh awe
[17:31] <nmatrx9> *sigh awesome
[17:31] <escott> jsd, be careful you can break unity with some things in ccsm
[17:31] <rabbi1> escott: do you know what nmatrx9 us using ? :)
[17:32] <killtrace> ok this is nice almost for 2 days I can't do full screen on you-tube I get OW Snap error
[17:32] <escott> rabbi1, no, but alternate is the recommended way to setup mdadm
[17:32] <nmatrx9> escott anything else I should know because now there is a page with options for default installers or text-based installer?
[17:32] <NewBuntu> Today I've installed ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64 and tried out the software raid mdadm, I followed this guide to test the failover: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-6.html (force fail by software)
[17:33] <NewBuntu> at the last step I get error like this: mdadm: /dev/sda1 reports being an active member for /dev/md0, but a --re-add fails. mdadm: not performing --add as that would convert /dev/sda1 in to a spare. mdadm: To make this a spare, use "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda1" first.
[17:34] <jsd> escott, any idea of the heading for the ccsm to save window positions?
[17:34] <escott> NewBuntu, what does mdadm --status say
[17:34] <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
[17:35] <NewBuntu> @escott mdadm --status the parameter is not recognized
[17:35] <jsd> xchat brings back memories of mIRC  LOL
[17:35] <NewBuntu> but root@srvubuntu0:/tank/share# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1]       19529656 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [_U]  unused devices: <none>
[17:35] <jsd> Those were the days!
[17:35] <escott> NewBuntu, /proc/mdstat then. i dont have mdadm on this machine so i dont know what the commands are
[17:36] <nmatrx9> escott I really hope this alternate cd words I'm at my wit's end with this software raid support on Ubuntu
[17:36] <bluebird> hello everyone!
[17:36] <kul123> Hello everyone, Need small help. How to connect internet using AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G (AC313U) on Ubuntu/Mint? -- Thanks in advance.
[17:36] <RvdZ> hello bluebird
[17:36] <bluebird> have anyone tried using IPV6 network in the latest 1204 version?
[17:36] <NewBuntu> @escott posted a chat above you
[17:36] <Keshi> This channel is surprisingly quiet for the official Ubuntu support channel… hmm.
[17:37] <NewBuntu> maybe Ubuntu is running stable? ^^
[17:37] <bluebird> has anyone tried using IPV6 network in the latest 1204 version?
[17:38] <NewBuntu> Basically I'm mirroring sda1 and sdb1 (RAID1) and on this partition I've installed ubuntu server 12.04
[17:38] <escott> NewBuntu, i need to go. sorry
[17:38] <NewBuntu> ok np, thanks anyways
[17:38] <amebaspugnosa> hi, I am using ndiswrapper on 12.04, everything is fine, but when I do sudo iwlist wlan0 scan the PC freezes. How could I see why is this happening?
[17:39] <bluebird> have anyone tried using IPV6 network in the latest 1204 version?
[17:39] <RvdZ> amebaspugnosa: dmesg ? Or full freeze? -> search for a log in /var/log ? :P
[17:40] <bluebird> have anyone tried using IPV6 network in the latest 1204 version?
[17:40] <_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?
[17:41] <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/
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <freijon> I already did "apt-get update"
[17:43] <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
[17:44] <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.. :)
[17:45] <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.
[17:46] <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
[17:47] <_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?
[17:48] <krababbel> _Tristan: nothing user configurable, though I don't know mysql installation.
[17:48] <krababbel> _Tristan: you can see in b
[17:48] <_Tristan> b?
[17:48] <DJones> Fezzler: Have you considered lubunt or xubuntu? They're less hard on hardware requirements & might extend the life of the machine
[17:48] <mcurran> Does anybody know how to enable the left mouse click (hold) and highlight a bunch of files/folders.  Mine seems not to be working.  Like if I'm in nautilus (gnome) and want to click and select over all the files, this is not possible...
[17:49] <quixotedon> freijon: it's a web based game http://www.lordofultima.com/en/welcome?utm_source=%28not+set%29&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=lou_ubuntu-en
[17:49] <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
[17:50] <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.
[17:51] <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?
[17:52] <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
[17:53] <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] <wylde_> !puregnome
[17:53] <NewBuntu> when I reboot with one faulty disk, the window remains black instead showing me a message
[17:54] <wylde_> Fezzler: for the most part.
[17:54] <ryanmcclure> hello?
[17:54] <wylde_> Fezzler: all the prettines comes at a cost of CPU/RAM use. :)
[17:54] <Fezzler> wylde_> so, download and make CD of my preferred "lite" lynux and boot/install it from there
[17:55] <jerry_li>  
[17:55] <rabbi1> how to change the device name in 12.04 ?
[17:55] <DJones> Fezzler: I think this will be the same for 11.10 & onwards as well, http://askubuntu.com/questions/44062/how-do-i-install-lxde-lubuntu basically install the lubuntu-desktop package
[17:55] <wylde_> Fezzler: if you have ubuntu already, all you have to do is install the desktop. For example for lubuntu 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop'
[17:55] <meco> I have a gpu that crashes on login. I was told it could be a kernel/hardware error. How do I report it?
[17:56] <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] <wylde_> Fezzler: if you're just going to use it as a fileserver why have a gui at all then?
[17:57] <ryanmcclure> could anyone help me with mimetypes on ubuntu?
[17:57] <jerry_li> i want to uninstall xubuntu-desktop ,how can i to do?
[17:57] <Duality> i am connecting to a remote machien with terminal server thingy, and mouse does wacky it either goes real fast when i move the mouse, and it's being displaced what could be the problem ?
[17:57] <wylde_> !puregnome | jerry_li
[17:57] <NewBuntu> I think I'm lost with mdadm, I'm probably too stupid for that one
[17:57] <Fezzler> wylde_> Right!  That is what I was thinking.  So, what do I install?
[17:58] <wylde_> Fezzler: is there already data on the machine you want to keep?
[17:59] <kul123> Hello everyone, Need small help. How to connect internet using AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G (AC313U) on Ubuntu/Mint? -- Thanks in advance.
[17:59] <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
[18:00] <wylde_> Fezzler: yeah, I'd go with a fresh server install then. Backup your stuffs, and do a clean server install. Once you can access by shh you can do everthing you need to remotely.
[18:01] <wylde_> ssh*
[18:01] <rabbi1> how to change the device name in 12.04 ?
[18:01] <Guest28524> how can i do unity lanch autohide?
[18:01] <Fezzler> wylde_> I will give that thought.  My next complex issue is easy way to backup itunes
[18:01] <ryanmcclure> @rabbi1 what do you mean by device name?
[18:01] <wylde_> Duality: are you connected to an VBoxHeadless virtual machine?
[18:01] <Fezzler> wylde_> Is it me or do they make that hard?
[18:02] <wylde_> Fezzler: rsync :)
[18:02] <wylde_> !rsync | Fezzler
[18:02] <rabbi1> ryanmcclure: my computer name
[18:02] <Guest28849> hi #ubuntu, how do I run two unity sessions at the same time? I need to use separate X servers for the two sessions
[18:02] <wylde_> Fezzler: make what hard? sorry, not following what you mean.
[18:02] <Fezzler> wylde_> The "Server Install" package is on Ubuntu site?
[18:02] <ryanmcclure> @rabbi1, to be honest, i have been wondering myself. im sorry that im not much help!
[18:03] <ryanmcclure> @rabbi1 i thought you meant harddrive name
[18:03] <wylde_> Fezzler: yessir, or you can get it by torrent. the follwing factoid will have links.
[18:03] <wylde_> !torrents
[18:03] <Fezzler> wylde_> Is it me or does Apple make it harder than it needs to be to backup your iTunes collection
[18:03] <rabbi1> ryanmcclure: i guess its under system settings -> system -> detail
[18:03] <wylde_> Fezzler: ahh yep the do, but that's any proprietary system for you :)
[18:04] <wylde_> they*

[18:06] <Hariezg> hello guys.. I have Question. What in Linux Ubuntu Have Virus?
[18:06] <wylde_> Duality: yeah it will be that way until you install Virtualbox Guest Additions.
[18:06] <ruben201> thanks
[18:06] <rabbi1> wylde_: thanks, don remember, switched to gnome3
[18:06] <Duality> wylde_ i have install guest additions (but i'll check to be sure :)
[18:06] <zykotic10> !hostname | rabbi1
[18:06] <wylde_> Duality: once you have those installed it will be smotth.
[18:07] <rabbi1> zykotic10: what ?
[18:07] <Duality> wylde_ it's smooth but the mouse movement doesn't correspond to my mouse movements
[18:08] <OerHeks> Hariezg, nothing in Ubuntu is infected, why?
[18:08] <zykotic10> rabbi1: "rabbi1> how to change the device name in 12.04 ?" && "my computer name"
[18:08] <iamcorbin> hey, does anyone know if there is a way to "resolve" all the links in an openoffice document? (make all non clickable ones clickable without having to go to the end of each one and hit enter)
[18:08] <wylde_> Duality: hmm, yeah I had that issue with the VBoxHeadless until guest additions was installed, but that cleared it right up. Hmmm.
[18:08] <rabbi1> zykotic10: o thanks :)
[18:08] <zykotic10> rabbi1: be careful!  doing it wrong breaks sudo

[18:10] <Fezzler> wylde_> Thanks for your time and expertise.  Ditto to DJones
[18:10] <wylde_> Fezzler: glad to help :)
[18:10] <ramkamx> cheers
[18:10] <zykotic10> whoever: resolv.conf get overwritten my N-M
[18:10] <matelot> Why was ScreenSaver setting removed from PP ?
[18:11] <zykotic10> matelot: gnome decision
[18:11] <Duality> why are there three floodbots?
[18:11] <_Tristan> pat_thomas: turn cpu governor to ondemand, shoot compressed air into the fan area.
[18:12] <Guest28849>  how do I run two unity sessions at the same time? I need to use separate X servers for the two sessions
[18:12] <wylde> pat_thomas: what _Tristan said, and listen to be sure your fan is running :)

[18:13] <pat_thomas> wydle: My fan is running, most of the time actually
[18:14] <wylde> pat_thomas: alrighty, could just ned to be cleaned. However there have been some bug reports about loud fans and cpu use running at 100% on some laptops.
[18:14] <Duality> wylde, (nice little side effect i noticed from running a virtual desktop thingy on my ubuntu install is that it heats my room )
[18:14] <wylde> Duality: lol
[18:15] <pat_thomas> wylde: It usually only does this when I watch youtube videos.
[18:15] <whoever> zykotic10: yes i know, my network is defined with a dns in network manager, and the quikest way to get it up on reboot is to just add nameserver 8.8.8.8 to resolv.conf and refresh the webpage
[18:15] <zykotic10> whoever: sorry, i don't use N-M
[18:16] <whoever> zykotic10: any ideas or is this a bug within 12.04
[18:17] <mneptok> whoever: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/
[18:17] <wylde> pat_thomas: ahhh using flash I assume? There's been TONS of flash issues lately. You might want to have a look at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs and do a couple search for similar issues.
[18:17] <zykotic10> whoever: don't know - sounds like incorrect N-M setup to me
[18:17] <mneptok> zykotic10: ^^^ URL
[18:17] <pat_thomas> wylde: Yeah I think it's a Flash thing.
[18:17] <rabbi1> zykotic10: thanks, worked like charm :)

[18:19] <kul123> yes matelot
[18:19] <whoever> zykotic10: if it is incorrec nm setup, than it must be just the dns, but my dns is 8.8.8.8 and i have allow for all users checked, and don't see the error of my way

[18:20] <azertyui> hello there i can't find driver my tuner card
[18:20] <zykotic10> whoever: as i said "i don't use N-M" so i'm no help.
[18:20] <matelot> kul123 I did that but it would NOT output to ext monitor (laptop lid is closed) - you have an idea ?
[18:21] <Duality> wylde i installed lm-sensors but how do i call it in terminal ?
[18:22] <zykotic10> Duality: "sensors"
[18:22] <wylde> matelot: you'll probably have to adjust your acpi settings so the laptop doesn't suspend when you close the lid.
[18:22] <azertyui> hello anyone ?
[18:22] <wylde> Duality: you'll have to detect your sensors first 'sudo sensors-detect'
[18:22] <wylde> Duality: and follow the prompts. Yes should be fine for all the questions.
[18:23] <NewBuntu> I think I got it: mdadm --create /dev/md0 -v --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
[18:23] <NewBuntu> just recreate a new raid array over the existing one
[18:23] <NewBuntu> and now it does finally start the resync
[18:23] <NewBuntu> not very intelligent tool
[18:23] <matelot> wylde: u mean  in Settings > Power ? it's all "Do Nothing" or "Do Nnot Suspend"
[18:24] <wylde> matelot: there's may be more to it. I don't have an ubuntu laptop here to test with, just trying to point you in the right direction. :)
[18:24] <Duality> wylde, thanks :)
[18:24] <waxstone> Need advise setting up of gtx 680 card on 12.04 . I get "GLX missing on display" error with the nvidia proprietary driver

[18:24] <azertyui> i can't find driver for my tuner card

[18:24] <wylde> Duality:  'sensors'

[18:25] <NewBuntu> http://kevin.deldycke.com/2007/03/how-to-recover-a-raid-array-after-having-zero-ized-superblocks/ this did the trick regarding mdadm
[18:25] <wylde> Duality: no that just reports the sensor info, I use fancontrol for my fans

[18:29] <wylde> Duality: well then :( They may not work by pulse-width-modulation though.
[18:29] <cc11rocks> I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a computer. I tried to boot into Unity 3D, but it shows the desktop, and then goes to black. The screen displays a mouse, which is functionable. It gives me this crap about compiz error. She has an AMD processor with a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE graphics card. Should I boot into Unity 2D and try to install proprietary graphics drivers?
[18:29] <cc11rocks> I have updated all her system except for the kernel by the way of TTY terminals...
[18:29] <Arglax> Hello
[18:30] <wylde> cc11rocks: you can do it at terminal by 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current'
[18:30] <Arglax> Is it normal that I can't use alt-tab in 12.04?
[18:30] <cc11rocks> Thanks...will try it...
[18:30] <broti> spricht hier jemand deutsch und kann mir kurz ne frage beantworten?

[18:33] <amebaspugnosa> does any body can help to troubleshoot ndiswrapper freezing the whole pc when i do iwlist wlan0 ?
[18:33] <Arglax> :/
[18:33] <Arglax> appi_uppi: ?
[18:34] <wylde> cc11rocks: seems the proprietary drivers are installed then, hmmm
[18:34] <Arglax> :|
[18:34] <Arglax> I read that the alt-tab bug is common on 12.04
[18:34] <Arglax> IS there no way to solve this but to downgrade?
[18:34] <cc11rocks> So what do I do? Try to boot into Unity 2D and fix it from there?  I DO want Unity 3D working...
[18:35] <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?
[18:36] <wylde> cc11rocks: moment, I'm not sure I've had no compiz issues for quite a long while.
[18:36] <cc11rocks> Or from TTY term. I don't care which, as long as it is fixed soon...
[18:36] <numberto> cannot install xulrunner-dev package
[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.
[18:37] <wylde> cc11rocks: what's the exact error?
[18:37] <Muelli> numberto: is that a question?
[18:37] <drag0nius> hello
[18:37] <drag0nius> anyone had problems with unistd.h?
[18:37] <cc11rocks> On reboot, error didn't come up again. But it's still a black screen with a white mouse (mouse is moving as normal)
[18:37] <numberto> Muelli: yes
[18:37] <drag0nius> i installed build-essentials and compiler still does not find it
[18:37] <cc11rocks> Where is the log located? I can nano it...
[18:37] <krababbel> cc11rocks: do you have advanced settings installed?
[18:38] <cc11rocks> Haven't booted into GUI at ALL yet
[18:38] <wylde> cc11rocks: /var/log is where the majority of logs are, or subdirectories there.
[18:38] <hannes_> i've got a problem with my svn repository. after an update of the server from 11.10 to 12.04 i had to reconfigure the conf file an now i get a '403 forbidden' error.
[18:38] <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?
[18:39] <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 :(
[18:40] <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?
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <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 ?
[18:43] <krababbel> waxstone: because it is so new
[18:43] <el_seano> Resistance: du -hs $PATH
[18:43] <Resistance> el_seano:  thanks
[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
[18:44] <waxstone> krababbel, the driver is definitly specific to the gtx 680. ill try a fresh install of the driver after purge as you suggest
[18:45] <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.
[18:46] <wylde> cc11rocks: yep
[18:46] <Muelli> numberto: well. if you are tough, you install the .deb from there, but I wouldn't recommend it...
[18:46] <rabbi1> all my selections from login settings under ubuntu-tweak is disabled? how to enable it ?
[18:46] <wylde> numberto: apt-file can be a great tool for solving dependecy issues.
[18:47] <MonkeyDust> rabbi1  unlock
[18:48] <wylde> !find xulrunner
[18:48] <wylde> rabbi1: to right corner should be an "unlock" button
[18:48] <rabbi1> MonkeyDust: oops, lol ...... it's somewhere at the top  right corner, got it.... :)
[18:48] <Muelli> numberto: maybe firefox-dev
[18:49] <numberto> Muelli: yeah, I guess that would be a better way, thanks

[18:50] <waxstone> strangely enough it says nvidia-common & nvidia-current not installed so not removed
[18:50] <plixa> i'm seeing a persistent flash plugin crash on amd64 with nvidia geforce gtx260.  i've tried the various solutions out there but nothing seems to resolve the issue.
[18:51] <rabbi1> wylde: also changed the icon theme, and tried few , but din;t like any, again got back to the ubuntu-mono-dark one, but icons are not changing :(
[18:51] <amebaspugnosa> Muelli: I found something on syslog: "May 12 20:43:55 ubuntu kernel: imklog 5.8.6, log source = /proc/kmsg started."
[18:52] <amebaspugnosa> Muelli: then a couple of lines again and then I can see the reboot

[19:07] <totemuh1oats> hi friends
[19:07] <totemuh1oats> i just updated to 12.04
[19:07] <totemuh1oats> i am surprised that it was pretty painless
[19:08] <totemuh1oats> was preparing for tons of breakage
[19:08] <cc11rocks> Update from a fresh 11.10 to a 12.04 is the same as installing from a 12.04 CD?
[19:09] <ircone> hey gang.  i've got a real stumper.  i just installed 12.04 and though the install went smoothly, after restarting, i get stuck in a reboot loop.  everytime i boot, after the bios finishes, the computer restarts.

[19:16] <dysoco> Hello, I'm using a GTX550 with the Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu 12.04, but I realized Youtube(Flash) videos load too slow for my connection... a guy told me to check vdpau. Anyone tried it ?
[19:17] <dysoco> ghost_, you mean, you sometimes type and the letter does not show ?
[19:17] <ghost_> yes or the mouse cursor skips across the screen
[19:17] <dysoco> ghost_, I've problems with the Keyboard, but given that my laptop's motherboard is not OK... I think it's not Xubuntu's fault
[19:18] <ghost_> I don't think so either - I'm using an older HP workstation...might be the board or the KVM switch I'm using
[19:18] <wylde> cc11rocks: you installed an older driver?
[19:18] <cc11rocks> Newer
[19:18] <cc11rocks> I found this, which I'm going to try now : http://askubuntu.com/questions/125608/unity-3d-no-longer-works-after-installing-12-04
[19:19] <cc11rocks> wylde : I tried to install a NEWER driver...made it worse
[19:19] <wylde> cc11rocks: alrighty, you'd have to purge that driver then .
[19:20] <cc11rocks> Do I puge <X>-common, current, settings, or all?
[19:20] <cc11rocks> Or just common and current?
[19:21] <wylde> cc11rocks: ..hmmm, if you're going to use the method on that page it "should" remove it for you.

[19:29] <bobweaver> thanks wylde  I know I was like wait that is a great question .
[19:30] <wylde> bobweaver: yeah I know 100% I read about that being possible, the hard part is remembering where I read it heh.
[19:31] <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
[19:32] <cc11rocks> I got some warning and BUG messages...Is that okay?
[19:33] <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

[19:35] <psusi> totemuh1oats, I still don't really understand pulseaudio either
[19:35] <totemuh1oats> psusi, could i just remove pulse? or will it break things?
[19:35] <psusi> total-clueless, maybe tru running pulseaudio --start?

[19:47] <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

[19:51] <Duality> wylde yes i know :)
[19:52] <wylde> Duality: oh another typo? lol

[20:15] <Zemo> The text-based installer is for computers that can’t run the graphical interface-based installer, either because they don’t meet the minimum requirements for the live CD or because they require extra configuration before the graphical desktop can be used.

[20:18] <ThinkT510> Zemo: thats nice dear
[20:18] <Zemo> ThinkT510: isnt ubuntu debian based?
[20:18] <ThinkT510> Zemo: yes
[20:19] <Zemo> so why isnt ubuntu using the debian installer?
[20:19] <Zemo> and still uses an old one?
[20:19] <ThinkT510> Zemo: ask canonical why they don't have those features in the gui
[20:19] <Zemo> whos canonical
[20:19] <ThinkT510> Zemo: the maker of ubuntu
[20:19] <Zemo> i dont know that guy
[20:19] <ThinkT510> Zemo: canonical is a company
[20:20] <Zemo> so its several guys
[20:20] <ThinkT510> !canonical | Zemo
[20:22] <kurtwp_> I just started to download the .tar file from installing wubi.exe and noticed that it is dowmloading a amd64.tar but my pc is 32 bit intel - is that normal
[20:22] <Zzzssss> Hi
[20:22] <Zzzssss> i wanted to ask about UFW..
[20:23] <Zzzssss> i have add few rules in UFW.. but now i have doubt that it will get clean on server reboot ? is it
[20:24] <Zzzssss> so tell me that either ufw command save to rules or they just add temporarly ?
[20:26] <FGC415> Hello all. Can someone point me to a good uninstallation guide for ubuntu 12.04 LTS? I installed it using the windows installer.
[20:28] <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> After some exploring on my hard drive I found the uninstall option.
[20:28] <FGC415> Thank you all for your helo!
[20:28] <FGC415> Especially you ccllrocks.
[20:28] <hans2> helo
[20:28] <positr0nix_> hello
[20:29] <cc11rocks> No problem :D
[20:29] <FGC415> Ubuntu is a great OS, and I plan to install it on my laptop after the brief demo on my desktop!
[20:29] <cc11rocks> Sounds great!
[20:29] <positr0nix_> yeah :)
[20:29] <hans2> i have some problems with wifi driver
[20:29] <positr0nix_> this is normal :S
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <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
[20:36] <Zemo> ThinkT510: in the alternate cd i can isntall kde?
[20:37] <ThinkT510> Zemo: not sure, hang on
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <ThinkT510> Zemo: yeah, you'd need kubuntu alternate
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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?
[20:43] <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

[20:45] <ai696> hello
[20:47] <virtuaposta> hi all... hope all is well
[20:47] <virtuaposta> :)
[20:47] <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.....
[20:48] <virtuaposta> yeah PW-toXic, llutz's suggestion will work... rsync again rocks!! :)
[20:49] <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 :)
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <PW-toXic> llutz, "dont cross file system boundaries" what does this mean
[20:51] <PW-toXic> (-x)
[20:52] <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
[20:53] <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] <llutz> PW-toXic: man-page tells you

[20:58] <invinciblemutant> i mean in synergy keyboard and mouse sharing software
[20:58] <sirriffsalot> wylde: no idea what those packagenames would be...

[21:03] <dmtamey> hello i have just installed lastest ubuntu on a new acer aspire and i can get the sound to play in Rythambox but it does play out of headphones.
[21:03] <EvilResistance> anyone ever run into an error in Precise in where you try to login, and it just fails, and goes back to the main login screen, with an error relating to "broken pipe: cannot write bytes" output to the tty?
[21:03] <EvilResistance> note i have no web browser, i'm on via a TTY and irssi
[21:03] <EvilResistance> so i need walked through fixing that
[21:03] <virtuaposta> dmtamey, is dkms-ndiswrapper installed over the system?
[21:04] <wylde> hans2: because you're trying to install a windows driver? It's telling you that you don't have the ndiswrapper module installed that may allow you to do that.
[21:04] <MusicJunkieK1> so can anyone help me with my defective keyboard?
[21:04] <virtuaposta> ohh sorry dmtamey that wasn't for you...
[21:05] <virtuaposta> hans2, is dkms-ndiswrapper is installed over the system?
[21:05] <hans2> wylde: I installed ndiswrapper using synaptic on my lubuntu system
[21:06] <wylde> EvilResistance: I've had the kicking me back to the login page. But not the error. In my case apt-0get update && apt-get upgrade solved it. I never actually figured out the cause >.>
[21:06] <hans2> there was no error message
[21:06] <Oer> MusicJunkieK1, half of the keyboard defective ... is say hardware issue, not a config. or does it work properly on an other OS ?
[21:07] <MusicJunkieK1> Oer: I only have Ubuntu on it, but i did try a Live CD version of Ubuntu 11.04, and it wasn't working there, either
[21:07] <EvilResistance> wylde: yeah, just noticed there's 110 updates from the ISO version, i'm running apt-get update / apt-get upgrade right now, i'll reboot then see if that fixes it, because it didnt error out in LiveCD.
[21:07] <cc11rocks> How to enable parental controls on Ubuntu 12.04 accounts?
[21:07] <wylde> !ndiswrapper | hans2 -- all I have. I've never actually had to use it.
[21:07] <EvilResistance> i might have to yell at the dev team eventually for failing to thoroughly test the LiveCD installation to make sure that doesnt happen
[21:07] <EvilResistance> cc11rocks: parental controls in what sense?
[21:08] <cc11rocks> Like for a kid...To be able to control the system...
[21:08] <EvilResistance> cc11rocks: need more context on this, control in what sense?
[21:08] <EvilResistance> prevent installation?  block website accesses?  etc.
[21:08] <hans2> k im reading
[21:08] <wylde> EvilResistance: oh, I also manually installed my proprietary video drivers before trying to log in again, so it's possible that too fixed it.
[21:08] <cc11rocks> Prevent installation > There is a password...Yes, blocking website access I guess
[21:09] <EvilResistance> wylde: might need to find my proprietary drivers, then, but without a web interface i cant do that :/
[21:09]  * EvilResistance is stuck in CLI
[21:09] <cc11rocks> Chromium is the preffered browser...
[21:09] <Luceo> EvilResistance: Which driver?
[21:09] <EvilResistance> Luceo: you should be asking which card :p
[21:10] <EvilResistance> Luceo: standby
[21:10] <EvilResistance> you'll have to wait for the apt-get upgrade to finish :P
[21:10] <wylde> cc11rocks: I suppose you could set up a locla proxy server to do that. I used to use an old pc with ipcop and addons that worked great! Even notified me when the (at the time) teen boys was trying to get to pron sites heh.
[21:10] <Luceo> EvilResistance: You should be able to download the driver from apt
[21:10] <wylde> EvilResistance: hmmm links? Find the website and get it with wget? :)
[21:11] <cc11rocks> The person I am installing for only has one computer...

[21:11] <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?
[21:12] <EvilResistance> wylde:  Luceo:  card info @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/984325
[21:12] <virtuaposta> robrecht, which package you trying to install?
[21:12] <robrecht> tshark
[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...
[21:13] <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)

[21:16] <EvilResistance> and i know that part ;P
[21:16] <EvilResistance> its glitching on the normal login part though
[21:16] <Furritus> i got to the part where you have to use virtual box
[21:16]  * EvilResistance has no idea why
[21:16] <Furritus> and now im lost
[21:16] <cc11rocks> I just restarted lightdm from a TTY terminal...The screen is black and has been for awhile. I can't get into any TTY terminals (including TTY7)
[21:16] <Luceo> EvilResistance: What happens when it glitches?
[21:16] <wylde> EvilResistance: thats what I had as well, I could login to guest just not my own account.
[21:17] <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] <EvilResistance> that loop occurs when i try to login with password
[21:17] <EvilResistance> Luceo: how else was i able to talk to you guys on the TTY pre-reboot?
[21:17] <wylde> EvilResistance: and I was going old school on you with "links" as in links the cli browser :)
[21:17] <robrecht> virtuaposta: https://gist.github.com/2669118

[21:17] <wylde> !info links
[21:18] <Luceo> EvilResistance: So to clarify, you cant login to your account in X but can on tty?
[21:18] <cc11rocks> afk for lunch...Thanks for all the help
[21:18] <virtuaposta> robrecht, is this the recent output? means after requesting for pastebin output? and on the same system you connected to internet?
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <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?
[21:20] <Furritus> alright jordan u ill try that
[21:20] <EvilResistance> Luceo: basic Ubuntu, clean install from the LiveCD (did i not mention earlier its a clean 12.04 installation?  could have sworn i did)
[21:20] <monsterripper00> hi there .. how do i get a public key , again ??
[21:20] <Luceo> EvilResistance: I walked in halfway through :P
[21:21] <EvilResistance> bleh, i've got a dinner-date, i have to go deal with that first
[21:21] <EvilResistance> when i get back i'll google this
[21:21] <grahame_> love ubuntu. think it's great but I have a load of itunes movies and tv shows that I'd still like to watch. Anyone know how I can do this on Ubuntu ?
[21:22] <codingman> use nightingale or somethin'
[21:22] <Luceo> EvilResistance: Try moving all the default X settings files from your home directory
[21:22] <ThinkT510> !itunes | grahame_
[21:23] <Luceo> EvilResistance: By memory that's ~/.gnome2, ~/.gconf, ~/.local and ~/.compiz
[21:23] <Zemo> ThinkT510: can i use dd to save into a usb stickP
[21:24] <EvilResistance> Luceo: .Xauthority was write-protected, i'm removing that and restarting (but those other files you specified don't exist)
[21:24] <ThinkT510> Zemo: save?
[21:24] <Zemo> ThinkT510: save the kubuntu iso
[21:24] <Luceo> EvilResistance: Apparently .Xauthority is a common issue, if you remove that should work
[21:25] <ThinkT510> Zemo: you can dd 11.10 upwards to a usb, yes
[21:25] <Zemo> ThinkT510: no, version 12.04
[21:25] <ThinkT510> Zemo: my answer remains valid, notice i said upwards
[21:26] <EvilResistance> hah, i'm in, removing .Xauthority (which was write protected) fixed it
[21:26] <Zemo> ThinkT510: sometimes using dd to burn into s usb doesnt put the usb bootable
[21:26] <EvilResistance> now time to install the rest of the crap i need
[21:26] <ThinkT510> Zemo: starting from 11.10 the isos are bootable via dd
[21:26] <Zemo> ah ok

[21:39] <urgodfather> hello, is anyone willing to help me figure out why plymouth (splash screen) isnt showing during boot/shutdown?
[21:40] <escott> urgodfather, nvidia?
[21:40] <ThinkT510> urgodfather: plymouth is very flaky, never worked right for me either
[21:40] <urgodfather> nope, just been making some changes to the boot displays and broke plymouth some how
[21:41] <escott> urgodfather, any chance you could tell me what you did. breaking plymouth would be splendid
[21:42] <urgodfather> escott, i used super-boot-manager to change grub to burg and also change the theme for both burg and plymouth
[21:43] <ThinkT510> burg isn't supported here
[21:43] <jmwpc> I'm trying to remove the print-server task from a 12.04 server. 'tasksel remove print-server' does nothing, and 'apt-get remove print-server^' wants to remove a bunch of unrelated packages (mysql, apache). What is the cleanest way to remove the print-server role?
[21:43] <urgodfather> ThinkT510: guess its a good thing its working fine :)
[21:43] <escott> urgodfather, maybe you just have a broken theme
[21:43] <urgodfather> escott: ive tried reverting to the original too...
[21:45] <bluefox83> ok, for whatever reason when i put in my password the screen goes black, then i get dumped back into the login screen. only way for me to get a desktop is to log in as a guest user...and i can't seem to get su to let me change to my own username :(
[21:46] <bluefox83> h crap, and now i can't get gnome-terminal out of fullscreen mode D:
[21:47] <bluefox83> fffffffffffff unity makes no sense D:
[21:49] <escott> bluefox83, you've probably broken some of your gui config files. can you login to a tty? ctrl-alt-f1
[21:49] <bluefox83> yeah
[21:49] <bluefox83> btw i can't see the screen right...give me a sec
[21:50] <ThinkT510> bluefox83: when you fullscreen an app the window buttons move to the top bar, you need to mouse over the top bar to see them
[21:50] <bluefox83> i got that sorted...wheat i need help with is fixing my login >.>

[21:54] <naxil> is possible install ubunti without gui?
[21:54] <naxil> *ubuntu
[21:54] <bluefox83> yeah, but i don't know what to do once i get to the shell
[21:54] <hans2> hello
[21:54] <wylde> bluefox83: you may need to remove your .Xauthority file.
[21:54] <bluefox83> naxil: i think so...
[21:54] <bluefox83> oh :)
[21:54] <naxil> i need for vmware
[21:54] <naxil> i need that linux for compile libxenon
[21:54] <bluefox83> would that be in my home dir or in /etc/X11?
[21:54] <NfNitLoop> bluefox83: home dir.
[21:55] <bluefox83> k
[21:55] <bluefox83> thanks :)
[21:55] <wylde> bluefox83:  your home /home/$USER/.Xauthority
[21:55] <kevin> hi
[21:55] <wylde> naxil: use the server install, it doesn't include a gui be default.
[21:56] <wylde> naxil: the alernate installer probably let's you do that too.

[22:00] <hans2> hello, sudo apt-get install ndisgtk works   >  but than i can not load the moudule  >  sudo modprobe ndiswrapper . Why?
[22:00] <NfNitLoop> wow, still stuck at that screen.  Hrmmmm.
[22:00] <ohad_> hello
[22:02] <NoobTux> how can i delete my log files in /var/log ? it uses 84% with 14.6GB
[22:02] <trism> hans2: ndiswrapper is not included by default on 12.04, install ndiswrapper-dkms (if you are on 12.04 that is)
[22:04] <bluefox83> thanks everyone for helping me :)
[22:04] <mcphail> NoobTux: how on earth can you have log files so large???
[22:04] <wylde> bluefox83: that did it for you then?
[22:04] <NoobTux> i dunno mcphail
[22:05] <bluefox83> deleting the .Xauthority file
[22:05] <wylde> !info logrotate
[22:05] <NoobTux> im using disk usage analyzer
[22:05] <bluefox83> then i had to go in and change my resolution, it was pretty awesome
[22:05] <wylde> bluefox83: good stuff :) Glad it worked.
[22:05] <bluefox83> er, aweful >.>
[22:05] <R0n[[Y]]> hello what is the page for ubuntu in spanish plase?
[22:05] <bluefox83> my resolution was set at like 400x300 or something...just plain terrible
[22:05] <wylde> bluefox83: that would be awful heh.
[22:05] <bluefox83> !spanish
[22:06] <mcphail> NoobTux: my old debian box (which has been up for > 5 years) which runs multiple services has < 8M in /var/log
[22:06] <bluefox83> it was so bad i almost couldn't change the resolution because the "apply" button was missing
[22:06] <msquarme> My tool bars in openoffice are changed in to different language how could i fix it to english?
[22:06] <mcphail> NoobTux: you need to explore further to see what is creating such ridiculously large files
[22:07] <NoobTux> can u help me how to get rid of this?
[22:07] <bluefox83> and the pointer wouldn't move below the bottom of the screen...somehow there must have been *just* enough button there to make it work
[22:07] <mcphail> NoobTux: what is the output of "sudo du -sh /var/log" ?
[22:08] <NoobTux> mcphail, 15G	/var/log
[22:09] <shazzr> Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 on an SSD RevoDrive? I am struggeling big time with installing the bootloader.
[22:09] <bluefox83> well, upgrading to 12.04 certainly was not a painless experience...and i'm disapointed in the nvidia drivers :(
[22:09] <bluefox83> shazzr: no, i'm sorry :/
[22:09] <bluefox83> shazzr: is it taking a long time?
[22:10] <mcphail> NoobTux: run "ls -lh /var/log" and see if there are any very large files. Then run "sudo du -h /var/log" (without the "s") and explore the largest directories
[22:12] <NoobTux> what do u mean without the s?
[22:12] <root> hello
[22:12] <mcphail> NoobTux: the first time the command was "du -sh". This time it is "du -h"
[22:13] <Jordan_U> !details | shazzr
[22:13] <NoobTux> doing the du -h it's displaying all files wew
[22:14] <NoobTux> 8gb for doing the du -h
[22:14] <mcphail> NoobTux: ny directory should be no more than a couple of megabytes. Anything more needs investigated
[22:14] <virtuaposta> sorry but mcphail, what's the issue? sorry my terminal is damn small :(
[22:15] <virtuaposta> mcphail, for getting the info about space utilization (on short notes) please user : du -h --max-depth=1
[22:15] <virtuaposta> ;)
[22:16] <msquarme> does anybody can help me to change the language of my tool bar in openoffice?
[22:16] <mcphail> virtuaposta: there shouldn't be much to recurse into in /var/log...
[22:16] <NoobTux> i just wanna delete this log files that causes much space on my hd
[22:17] <virtuaposta> NoobTux, which files you want to delete? or you want to collect the info before deleting them?
[22:17] <mcphail> NoobTux: If you have a process which has dumped gigabytes of log files into /var/log it will only come back after deleting
[22:18] <NoobTux> in disk analyzer it show /var/log/ using 14GB under lib folder / apt / but i can't find that lib folder / apt / in /var/log/ :'( creepy
[22:19] <NoobTux> now my laptop hangs
[22:19] <NoobTux> can't do alt tab i'm stuck in xchat lmao
[22:19] <NoobTux> creepy
[22:19] <JonEdney> lol
[22:19] <shazzr> bluefox83: It does not work. I try to install 12.04, but it fails when installing GRUB. It does not seem able to find a place to put it. I have a RevoDrive which does not exactly show up as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb....more like /dev/disk/by-id/xxx-xx_xx_1234567890 And since I don't know _that_ much about what goes on behind everything, I'm sort of stuck.
[22:19] <NoobTux> be right back need to reboot
[22:20] <wazer14> Hello
[22:20] <MrYogi> just made my usb installer
[22:20] <MrYogi> lets see how painless this install goes
[22:21] <NoobTux> now it working
[22:21] <NoobTux> so can someone tell me how to delete this logs?
[22:21] <uxq> How do I tell the NVidia driver version I am using?
[22:21] <uxq> NoobTux, rm -rf?
[22:22] <NoobTux> uxq,  rm -rf? what's that?
[22:22] <wazer14> Can you translate your questions in french please ?
[22:22] <uxq> rm -rf /var/log/whatever
[22:22] <wazer14> I'm sorry
[22:22] <MrYogi> man rm
[22:22] <virtuaposta> NoobTux, lol
[22:22] <wylde> !fr | wazer14
[22:23] <uxq> how do I tell driver versions?
[22:23] <wazer14> Oh, i'm sorry , bye !
[22:23] <MrYogi> go to settings 3rd party drivers etc
[22:23] <virtuaposta> wylde, I wasn't knowing this :) that's fr :)
[22:23] <wylde> :)
[22:25] <wylde> uxq: apt-cache policy nvidia-current
[22:26] <uxq> thanks
[22:27] <NoobTux> im getting a screenshot hope this will help
[22:27] <NoobTux> :D
[22:27] <NoobTux> http://imagebin.org/212173
[22:27] <wylde> uxq: np, I suppose 'nvidia-settings --version' would work too
[22:28] <NoobTux> uxq,  virtuaposta
[22:28] <llutz> NoobTux: thats /var/lib/apt and you don't want to  use "rm -rf" on this directory
[22:28] <uxq> NoobTux: cd /var/log; rm -rf *
[22:28] <NoobTux> so which command is it? llutz  or uxq ?
[22:28] <escott> uxq, giving commands like rm -rf * to someone who doesn't know what rm does is really irresponsible.
[22:29] <uxq> escott: how should I know
[22:29] <spm_Draget> Just installed 12.04. If I want to install additional software via the console, do I use apt-get install or aptitude install?
[22:29] <llutz> NoobTux: don't use "rm -rf" in /var/log either
[22:29] <escott> uxq, because he asked you earlier what rm -rf was.
[22:30] <uxq> I thought he was joking
[22:30] <escott> NoobTux, use rm filename. don't use -rf
[22:30] <NoobTux> what does -rf means? remove force?
[22:30] <shazzr> ~
[22:30] <escott> NoobTux, recursive force. ie rm -rf in the wrong directory immediately deletes EVERYTHING
[22:31] <uxq> NoobTux: :(){ :|:& };:
[22:31] <llutz> uxq: STOP
[22:31] <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] <llutz> !ops | uxq
[22:31] <uxq> what?
[22:32] <NoobTux> so i'll do cd /var/lib/ then rm -filename ? but in apt folder it says list old but what will happen if i'll delete those?
[22:32] <uxq> it's a smiley face
[22:32] <llutz> uxq: you're an idiot
[22:32] <uxq> thanks for harassing me
[22:32] <llutz> !ops | uxq spreads forkbombs
[22:32] <Pricey> uxq: Please don't :)
[22:33] <NoobTux> llutz, ? so i'll do cd /var/lib/ then rm -filename ? but in apt folder it says list old but what will happen if i'll delete those?
[22:33] <newb100> How do reach an external hard drive in command line
[22:34] <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] <Walex> newb100: 'mount -t ... -o ... /dev/... /mnt/...
[22:35] <newb100> escott, its mounted already
[22:35] <escott> newb100, then cd /media/mountpoint
[22:35] <virtuaposta> newb100, why you want to reach via commandline if you can reach directly... lol ... else follow escott !! :) aah crazy weekend!
[22:36] <NoobTux> llutz, in the ss it's in var log but when i open the folder it ain't 14GB but in /var/lib/apt/ i got the much higher GB weird
[22:36] <newb100> virtuaposta, because I want to learn to use bash
[22:37] <llutz> newb100: "du -sxh /var/log"
[22:37] <llutz> NoobTux: ^^
[22:37] <virtuaposta> NoobTux, have you tried du -h --max-depth=1 ?
[22:37] <llutz> sry newb100
[22:37] <Ravenslock> Walex: Oh, I see, so thats why it works in Ubuntu.:-S
[22:39] <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.
[22:40] <NoobTux> virtuaposta, http://paste.ubuntu.com/984465/
[22:41] <NoobTux> i got 2 different output
[22:41] <NoobTux> fisrt in var/lib/ i got 1GB something in /var/log/ i got 15GB
[22:42] <llutz> NoobTux: see line 26/51  "15G ."  thats /var/log sum
[22:42] <Ravenslock> Walex: Can these Ubuntu modules work in Arch Linux?
[22:42] <newb100> Jordan_U, tks
[22:42] <mrgt> hello. trying to play itunes movies in ubuntu. anyone know how?
[22:42] <Jordan_U> newb100: You're welcome.
[22:43] <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] <Walex> Ravenslock: but Arch usually has very recent kernels, so you should not have huge issues there. But I don't actually use Arch, and this is not the right channel.
[22:44] <Athanasius> I think I just discovered a weird bug in 12.04. Tap alt, press ctrl+r
[22:44] <Walex> mrgt: for decoders look for the 'Medibuntu' repository
[22:44] <Nick_Kaedalus> Hello
[22:44] <Nick_Kaedalus> Can anyone help me
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <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)
[22:48] <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?
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <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
[22:51] <NoobTux> llutz,  im in logrotate.conf in gedit
[22:51] <NoobTux> what now?
[22:52] <llutz> NoobTux: check the settings affecting /var/log/syslog (messages and kern.log)
[22:53] <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] <llutz> NoobTux: most likely in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
[22:55] <newb100> whats wrong with cp -r ~/media/Expansion Drive/x1/Documents/Linux ~/home/y1/Documents ?
[22:55] <newb100> cp the linux folder to documents
[22:55] <escott> newb100, too many twiddles (~)
[22:55] <llutz> newb100: "~/home/y1"  would mean /home/you/home/y1/Documents"   use either "~" for home OR "/home/username"
[22:55] <zykotic10> newb100: spaces are tricky use "double quotes" or escape\ the\ spaces
[22:55] <wylde> newb100: the space will break cp
[22:56] <newb100> tks
[22:56] <rlw_> I have a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB soundcard and want to record data from line in  but none of the 8 channels working
[22:57] <NoobTux> escott,  how can i edit .conf? it seems gedit can't
[22:57] <escott> !gksudo | NoobTux
[22:57] <Guest53387> Is there any intuitive text to speech programs anyone would suggest?
[22:57] <wylde> NoobTux: gedit will, you probably need root privs 'gksudo gedit /pth/to/file.conf'
[22:57] <NoobTux> thanx
[22:58] <hash> is there any negatives to doing a dist-uprgade over a clean install
[22:58] <rlw_> + the card ist connected over jack
[23:00] <zykotic10> hash: please don't use dist-upgrade to refer to updating your ubuntu version.  dist-upgrade is not related to upgrading to a new version
[23:00] <seroki> why bother doing a dist-upgrade anyways?
[23:01] <Tigerboy> Anyone know how to get the drivers for USB3 ports to work properly.
[23:01] <zykotic10> seroki: if you want to upgrade everything on your system - that's the method
[23:02] <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> i dont wanna do a clean install
[23:02] <zykotic10> hash: it's a common misconception
[23:03] <NoobTux> wylde,  escott  llutz  http://paste.ubuntu.com/984492/ <--- this is what's inside my logrotate.conf pls help me how to edit to lessen my logs
[23:03] <KommaH> Hey everyone.
[23:03] <KommaH> My ubuntu server stopped responding to anything. No SSH and the physical console wouldn't respond at all.
[23:03] <hash> zykotic10 what is the proper way to upgrade other then a clean install
[23:03] <KommaH> So I restarted it (safely).
[23:04] <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] <wylde> newb100: 'mv filename newfilename
[23:04] <newb100> tks
[23:04] <hash> ah
[23:05] <hash> im still a bit unsure about upgrading anyway
[23:05] <ring0> hash, which version are you using right now?
[23:05] <Tigerboy> I find Ubuntu 11.10 to be stable enough with some work
[23:05] <hash> 11.10
[23:05] <DjKiDD> Greetings! My friend updated her ubuntu to the newest version and now she can't login to the desktop... everything work fine up to the login screen, after entering the password it looks like it is about to switch to desktop but then it goes back to the login screen.... You have any idea how to fix this?
[23:06] <newb100> If you have 2 users say a1 and a2 both with admin level. How can you copy files from a1 to a2?
[23:06] <zykotic10> hash: notice DjKiDD issue above ;)
[23:06] <NoobTux> escott,  how can i set a sched on my logs?
[23:06] <pie_> How do I make it so that I can open links from bash without firefox popping up a session already running error and telling me to close it?
[23:06] <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.
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <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] <zykotic10> DjKiDD: i was just pointing out to hash that you where having issues after upgrading - sorry not really related to your issue, just using you as an example ;)
[23:09] <pie_> Tigerboy, I have an already running firefox sessioni want to add them to
[23:09] <DjKiDD> wylde, ya?
[23:09] <wylde> DjKiDD: you'l probably have to adjust you x settings but that will get you logged in.
[23:09] <mrgt> okay. still having issues playing itunes movies. anyone got any ideas?
[23:09] <wylde> DjKiDD: yep, you're the 3rd today I've seen with that problem.
[23:10] <DjKiDD> ok thanks I will give that a try from command line
[23:10] <Tigerboy> pie_: i think the problem occurs because you are sending the commands to fast
[23:10] <pie_> i sent ONE command :/
[23:11] <wylde> pie_: firefox -new-tab <url>
[23:11] <NoobTux> escott,  is it safe to copy paste the config file from man logrotate?
[23:11] <DjKiDD> What exactly does the ~ mean in the directory? User home folder?
[23:12] <wylde> DjKiDD: /home/$user yes
[23:12] <ring0> hash, well, you've got time till 2013-04-11 to upgrade or reinstall. that's how long you'll receive updates/security-fixes
[23:12] <DjKiDD> ok just making sure
[23:12] <Tigerboy> pie_: are you sending just the link or ordering a new firefox-- well you can set that in firefox to have it open links as new tab and set firefox as the default system for html files et al
[23:12] <kbrosnan> pie_: sounds like the session of firefox you lanuched used -no-remote or the MOZ_NO_REMOTE enviroment variable is set
[23:12] <mrgt> maybe I should just go back to windows if I can't play itunes movies. grr.. :'(
[23:12] <escott> NoobTux, maybe. its sure to be a valid config file, but it may or may not do what you want
[23:13] <pie_> kbrosnan, my ba, yes i forgot to say tat
[23:13] <pie_> so i used -P to specify which profile to use
[23:13] <wylde> mrgt: have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[23:13] <pie_> (the currently running one)
[23:13] <wylde> installed*
[23:13] <kbrosnan> pie_: you need one instance of firefox lanuched without -no-remote
[23:13] <brendonjt> mrgt, have you also tried vlc player?
[23:13] <kbrosnan> pie_: that will be the instance that gets links launched in it
[23:14] <newb100> How do view another users files if they also an admin
[23:14] <newb100> but I control both of them
[23:14] <wylde> !restricted | mrgt
[23:14] <x0g> Does anyone know the max amount of RAM ubuntu server x64 supports?
[23:15] <mrgt> not installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. what's that? will try vlc.
[23:15] <zykotic10> x0g: amd64 x86_64 supports more RAM then you have ;)
[23:15] <x0g> hehe
[23:15] <ring0> mrgt, just read what ubottu linked you
[23:16] <kbrosnan> x0g: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=4428160&sid=dca6cf461b10655a342ef5ee122bb8d3#p4428160
[23:16] <pie_> kbrosnan, thanks
[23:16] <kbrosnan> Theoretically, 16 exabytes
[23:17] <x0g> well ill put an order right into newegg ;p
[23:18] <Duality> wylde, are you still online?
[23:19] <Tigerboy> wait I have 32 exabytes-- so I just wasted 16-- just great.
[23:19] <x0g> rofl
[23:20] <wylde> Duality: yep, semi afk...
[23:23] <NoobTux> escott, i got this apt folder in /var/ stating a 5GB of usage in my hd what's the command to rm again?
[23:23] <DjKiDD> wylde, I don't see any file called .Xauthority in /home/$user/
[23:23] <DjKiDD> wylde, I don't see any file called .Xauthority in /home/$user/
[23:24] <zykotic10> NoobTux: "sudo apt-get clean" i think
[23:24] <DjKiDD> oops sorry for the double post
[23:24] <escott> NoobTux, rm is the command line "remove" command
[23:24] <Tigerboy> DjKiDD: turn on view hidden files in nautilus.
[23:25] <DjKiDD> ls -a would show it wouldnt it?
[23:25] <Tigerboy> djkidd: or else ls -l -a
[23:25] <zykotic10> NoobTux: sorry, escott is correct - if it's /var/cache/apt that's using the space, i think my command will work
[23:25] <Tigerboy> yes
[23:25] <Duality> wylde, do you have any idea why i can't activate windows but can google or go to any other website ?
[23:25] <NoobTux> zykotic10,  it works tho thanx mate
[23:26] <DjKiDD> the only file I see that would even seem related is .Xdefaults
[23:26] <Tigerboy> Djkidd: try to view as root
[23:26] <NoobTux> i got 1GB but this 1 folder lists.old is still there im afraid if i remove it might cause error
[23:26] <NoobTux> :(
[23:26] <wylde> DjKiDD: $user is the username of the account you can't get into.
[23:26] <Tigerboy> Djkidd: it might not have user perms-- which you should set
[23:26] <wylde> Duality: I honestly don't know.
[23:26] <DjKiDD> good idea
[23:27] <Tigerboy> Djkidd: yes be sure to go to /home/username folder
[23:27] <Duality> wylde, on the virtual machine that is :)
[23:27] <NfNitLoop> Uhm.  How do I add a binary GUI app to Unity's menus?   (I'm googling and seeing out of date info...)
[23:27] <virtuaposta> Duality, can you please describe more about the issue?
[23:27] <DjKiDD> I know what a variable is...
[23:27] <wylde> DjKiDD: .Xautority is a protected file yes. You'll need to use sudo rm to remove it
[23:28] <Duality> virtuaposta, i don't know any more then that windows can't connect to the internet while i can surf the interwebs
[23:28] <NfNitLoop> I can't just drop it in the bar.  I tried running it and telling Unity to keep it in the launcher, but it doesn't launch properly if I do that.
[23:28] <DjKiDD> sudo ls -a doesn't show it either....
[23:28] <x0g> what do you use to run a virtual enviroment?
[23:29] <wylde> Duality: I don't know, unless it's a recent version...hmm which you said it is? If it's been activated on a "bare metal" install then it's associated to that hardware and will see the vm as trying to active it on another machine. I would think anyway.
[23:29] <x0g> VirtualBox?
[23:29] <Duality> x0g yea
[23:29] <DjKiDD> no such file
[23:29] <zykotic10> !virtualizers | x0g
[23:29] <x0g> thanks
[23:30] <wylde> DjKiDD: for example my .Xauthority is at /home/wylde/.Xauthority
[23:30] <DjKiDD> right... I am in /home/misty/ and there is no such file
[23:30] <Tigerboy> DjKidd: try to run mkxauth -c in the home folder or the user as you said /home/misty
[23:31] <Tigerboy> then check again to see if it is there
[23:31] <wylde> DjKiDD: ls -a | grep .X
[23:31] <Duality> wylde, i don't know if i understood that
[23:32] <phillyj> hey everyone, i just build my first PC and now I'm goin to install ubuntu 12.04 on my 60gb ssd but no HDD yet so what is the best way to partition the ssd for bootup and storage
[23:32] <DjKiDD> command not found...
[23:32] <phillyj> i'd like to add win7 dualboot later on this ssd also
[23:33] <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.
[23:34] <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)
[23:35] <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?
[23:36] <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
[23:37] <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?
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <Duality> this windows is running in a virtual machine, on ubuntu server, and it runs with nice performance! :)
[23:40] <txomon|home> !channels
[23:40] <ubuntu_> Hello, I got a question about installing 12.04 on a Dell XPS 8300 with a Raid setup, will grub be able to boot from it
[23:40] <ubuntu_> *?
[23:40] <txomon|home> ubuntu_, sure
[23:40] <txomon|home> if you set up it correctly
[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
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <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
[23:44] <DjKiDD> there is one process matching that
[23:44] <wylde> gdm? kdm? xdm? ....
[23:44] <DjKiDD> uhhhh
[23:44] <DjKiDD> tty1?
[23:45] <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....
[23:46] <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!
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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?
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <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!!
[23:53] <Tigerboy> mrgt: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:53] <txomon|home> ubuntu_, you can google
[23:53] <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.
[23:54] <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.
[23:55] <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.
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <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?
[23:58] <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?
[23:59] <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
