| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: txomon|home: That guide is for mdraid, it sounds like you're using FakeRAID. | 00:02 |
| 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? | 00:02 |
| actionParsnip | dr3mro: sweet | 00:02 |
| justin_ | anyone else have trouble with compiz after upgrading to 12.04? | 00:02 |
| actionParsnip | spm_Draget: apt-get is default installed, aptitude isn't | 00:02 |
| txomon|home | I wanted him to make click in real raid link | 00:03 |
| actionParsnip | justin_: you may do if you use proprietary drivers | 00:03 |
| wylde | spm_Draget: either? although you'll probably have to apt-get install aptitude if that's what you prefer. | 00:03 |
| spm_Draget | apt-get it is then, thanks | 00:03 |

| KommaH | Hey everyone. Today I got home and found that my Ubuntu server was completely unresponsive. Neither the console nor SSH would work, so I safely restarted it. Is there a log or something I can view to see whether there was a kernel panic or something? | 00:03 |
| actionParsnip | BlueProtoman: i'd run: dmesg | less and see where the device is detected (if at all) and what happens | 00:03 |
| NfNitLoop | (Eclipse) I know it's running. It's still compiling my project. But I can't get at it!??!?! | 00:03 |

| wylde | KommaH: /var/log/syslog perhaps | 00:03 |
| ZetaRC12 | anyone ever get an Acer Aspire One D-250 to sleep on closing? I can sleep and hibernate and restore from both states on the laptop manually.

| === xxx is now known as Guest10768 | ||
| actionParsnip | BlueProtoman: yep, notice how I responded so quick ;) | 00:09 |
| txomon|home | Jordan_U, if he is using a true hw raid, then nothing has to be done because ubuntu just sees a drive | 00:09 |
| PW-toXic | I have already copied 300k files, and my computer is getting slower and slower... it is getting so slow, that i can hardly log in to the desktop | 00:09 |
| txomon|home | controller is in BIOS | 00:09 |
| PW-toXic | is there a system monitor like alt+ctrl+del in windows? | 00:10 |
| alusion | How is gnome shell on ubuntu 12.04? Cairo-dock with unity panel does not really utilize the super key at all either btw >_< is that normal? | 00:10 |
| Dj_KiDD | there is something similar | 00:10 |
| justin_ | actionParsnip: i tried "compiz --replace" from the command line to set things to default, but still am having SUPER+TAB troubles. did i do something wrong? | 00:10 |
| Random832 | PW-toXic: run gnome-system-monitor | 00:10 |
| wylde | PW-toXic: why would you copy/paste. gnome-system-monitor | 00:11 |
| Jordan_U | txomon|home: Exactly, yet that person states " It seems to allow over riding the array setup done using the controller’s own software. Setting up software RAID was out of question. Why pay the performance penalty that software RAID levies on the system when you have already paid IBM for hardware RAID?" So they clearly have FakeRAID, and just as clearly think they have true hardware RAID. | 00:11 |
| actionParsnip | justin_: that doesn't reset the settings | 00:11 |
| PW-toXic | wylde, because i want to copy 700.000 files ;) | 00:11 |
| xangua | !nounity | alusion | 00:11 |
| ubottu | alusion: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:11 |

| ubottu | ZaNeIuM: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 00:14 |

| ircyop | actionParsnip, someone just gave this to me | 00:16 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, you have a true hw raid? | 00:16 |
| ircyop | and I doubtthat someone has updated the bios | 00:16 |
| txomon|home | do you* | 00:16 |
| ubuntu_ | txomon|home, I believe so | 00:17 |
| escott | ubuntu_, its unlikely that even if you managed to install grub to a mapper device that it would be bootable | 00:17 |
| wylde | rlw: what are you compiling? | 00:17 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, do you manage it from the BIOS? If you do, then you will see there just one disk | 00:17 |
| actionParsnip | ircone: boot to WIndows and use this: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=1&m=Eee+PC+2G+Surf%2fLinux&os=17&hashedid=n%2fa | 00:18 |
| actionParsnip | ircone: make sure it's up to date | 00:18 |
| ubuntu_ | txomon|home, I can manage them in the bios | 00:18 |
| ubuntu_ | escott, so, what's your suggestion? | 00:18 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, and ubuntu doesn't just tell you to install in /dev/sda ? | 00:18 |
| escott | ubuntu_, you probably have fakeraid. unless you spent a log of money on a server raid solution you just have intel fakeraid and I would not use it | 00:19 |
| ubuntu_ | escott, true, it's the intel one | 00:19 |
| txomon|home | escott, is that bad? | 00:19 |
| actionParsnip | fakeraid sucks bigtime | 00:19 |
| escott | ubuntu_, don't use it. turn it off. use mdadm | 00:19 |
| ubuntu_ | escott, how should I proceed? | 00:20 |
| dagerik | I can't get the ALT GR button to function in LXDE. I cant make the email symbol or the dollar symbol e.g. Halp? | 00:20 |
| escott | !alternate | ubuntu_ turn off fakeraid. if you want raid and ubuntu use the alternate installer | 00:20 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_ turn off fakeraid. if you want raid and ubuntu use the alternate installer: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 00:20 |
| txomon|home | I always use minimal + apt-cacher-ng | 00:21 |
| ubuntu_ | escott, Do you know if I turn it off, my data will be alright? | 00:21 |
| escott | ubuntu_, no your data will be gone | 00:21 |
| y0om4 | hi | 00:22 |
| ubuntu_ | escott, lol - no good, no can do :/ | 00:22 |
| NoobTux | escott, this is getting weird deleting it and within 5mins it will be back to 5GB usage of space from /var/log/apt/ creepy | 00:22 |
| ubuntu_ | it's a 2Tb array, I won't have where to backup atm | 00:23 |
| wylde | NoobTux: you got some seriously misbehaving processes. | 00:23 |
| Casey | i need to make 12.04 run on a older computer | 00:23 |
| ubuntu_ | escott, so, with fakeraid, I won't be able to boot ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| KM0201 | Casey: how old? | 00:23 |
| wylde | !flavors | Casey | 00:23 |
| ubottu | Casey: !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu | 00:23 |
| FrozenMind | Casey - Can you supply specs? | 00:23 |
| escott | ubuntu_, i would strongly discourage a fakeraid "solution" its not something you want to be using. higher cpu usage, non-transferable disks (on-disk format established by the bios), no battery backup or guarantees that data is written to disk. its the worst possible combinations of anti-features from hardware and software raid solutions | 00:24 |
| wylde | Casey: lubuntu is good for that. Or even Xubuntu. | 00:24 |
| Casey | well 10.04 ran fine on it | 00:24 |
| wolfric_ | why does apt-get installing rubygems automatically try install ruby1.8? i have ruby 1.9.1 installed | 00:24 |
| Casey | 500 mHz 256 mb of ram | 00:24 |
| txomon|home | ubuntu_, so yes, it will boot, but its use is discouraged | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | Casey: You definitely want to use Lubuntu for that. | 00:25 |
| escott | ubuntu_, all it has going for it is that it is dirt cheap, and it allows those OSes (like windows) that don't support software raid to have raid. | 00:25 |
| wylde | Casey: personally I'd use lubuntu for that. | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | !lubuntu | Casey | 00:25 |
| ubottu | Casey: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 00:25 |
| NoobTux | wylde, how can i fix this thing? | 00:25 |
| Casey | ok ty what about xubuntu | 00:25 |
| jeffmjack | if i want to swap xfce to replace unity, is it necessary to kill x windows first? | 00:26 |
| KM0201 | Casey: you'd be pushing it w/ xubuntu on that machine | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | Casey: XUbuntu proabably uses too much RAM for that machine. | 00:26 |
| Casey | ok good so i'll use lubuntu | 00:26 |
| wylde | NoobTux: you have to identify the rogue processes then fix them. What logs are filling up? Have a look at them. Odds are that will tell you what you need to know. | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | jeffmjack: You generally want to log out then log back in after selecting an XFCE session, yes. | 00:26 |
| FrozenMind | i wonder is DSL or Puppy would be a better choice for Casey? | 00:27 |
| wylde | FrozenFire: quite possibly. | 00:27 |
| Casey | it doesn't have unity on it right? | 00:27 |
| actionParsnip | Casey: for super lightness, you can install ubuntu minimal then install slim and fluxbox :), comes in just over 1Gb installed :) | 00:27 |
| FrozenFire | wylde, orly | 00:27 |
| KM0201 | FrozenFire: well, it'possible. although DSL would be more complex than puppy. | 00:27 |
| Casey | well i don't want tunity | 00:28 |
| KM0201 | i'd go either Lubuntu, or ditch Ubuntu, and look at Crunchbang. | 00:28 |
| txomon|home | Casey, you should take lubuntu. But use the lubuntu minimal installation and then install lightdm | 00:28 |
| KM0201 | Casey: well, thats good.. cuz you won't be able to run it | 00:28 |
| KM0201 | lol | 00:28 |
| FrozenMind | FrozenFire -- Too many cold people in here it seems :) | 00:28 |
| Casey | what is slim and fluxbox and lightdm? | 00:28 |
| wylde | oop, not you FrozenFire ...sorry. | 00:28 |
| NoobTux | wylde, it's in var/lib/apt/ folder :( | 00:28 |
| txomon|home | Casey, fluxbox is another desktop env. lightdm is a login screen loader (you are likely to have one, instead of having to boot x session manually) | 00:29 |
| actionParsnip | Casey: slim and lightdm are graphical ogin managers, fluxbox is a window manager but can run without a desktop | 00:29 |
| FrozenMind | wylde: tis fine :) it is a "chat box" you cant see faces :p | 00:29 |
| jeffmjack | Anybody know how to log out of unity if the power button icon in the top right is missing? | 00:29 |
| Casey | well doesn't lubuntu come with something like that already? | 00:29 |
| ubuntu_ | escott, I am screwed ;P | 00:29 |
| txomon|home | actionParsnip, didn't fluxbox also have a desktop env? | 00:29 |
| txomon|home | Casey, you should really try it | 00:30 |
| txomon|home | in a VM for example | 00:30 |
| Casey | well really the computer is going to be used for a server | 00:30 |
| NoobTux | what's the correct command for df -h? and the other one? df -sh? | 00:30 |
| FrozenMind | jeffmjack - go to terminal, --> sudo shutdown -h now <-- that will get you to shutdown... or hitting the power button :) | 00:30 |
| escott | ubuntu_, why dont you just backup then disable the fake raid and restore your data from the backup once you have mdadm setup the way you want. | 00:30 |
| txomon|home | Casey, so don't install a GUI | 00:30 |
| actionParsnip | txomon|home: it can, it doesn't need one though, you can run just fluxbox on it's own :) | 00:30 |
| Casey | well i | 00:31 |
| jeffmjack | frozenmind: thanks- but I'm trying to just end x windows, not shut the cpu down | 00:31 |
| ubuntu_ | escott, it's almost 1,5Tb of stuff, I don't have where to store atm | 00:31 |
| Casey | well i'm not really good with command promp | 00:31 |
| txomon|home | Casey, so you are not having a server | 00:31 |
| === yVrt is now known as y2E0 | ||
| Casey | well no | 00:31 |
| Casey | just i'll be runing server like peograms on it | 00:32 |
| txomon|home | server == 99% time in command prompt | 00:32 |
| Casey | and won't be on it that much | 00:32 |
| ubuntu_ | well, thx for the info, see ya | 00:32 |
| FrozenMind | jeffmjack: sorry, you said log off, sorry :) use --> logout :) | 00:32 |
| txomon|home | Casey, whatever, use lubuntu, its the lightweightest | 00:32 |
| txomon|home | xD | 00:32 |
| Casey | ok thats what i neede to know | 00:33 |
| wylde | jeffmjack: ctrl+alt+f1 then 'sudo lightdm restart' | 00:33 |
| escott | ubuntu_, you need to think seriously about your data backup settings. disk failures are highly correlated due to environmental solutions. you may have copies of your important documents but you put them inside the same wooden box. next time theres a fire you are going to wish you spend $50 on some external hard drives | 00:33 |
| Casey | ty | 00:33 |
| txomon|home | escott, late | 00:33 |
| jeffmjack | wylde: thanks | 00:34 |
| Casey | um one more question | 00:34 |
| jeffmjack | unfortunately, now i'm running into this 'checking battery state error' that has been a problem since i updated to 12.04 | 00:35 |
| Casey | is there a LTS for lubuntu? | 00:35 |
| xangua | Casey: 12.04 | 00:35 |
| jeffmjack | it freezes the boot sequence somehow | 00:35 |
| txomon|home | well, lubuntu is part of ubuntu, so the same ones | 00:35 |
| jeffmjack | i've read that the problem would be resolved by updating nvidia, but i've done that to no avail | 00:35 |
| Casey | well it says on the hompage that lubuntu will not be a LTS release | 00:36 |
| jeffmjack | i did some mods to unity prior and I think updating made them break stuff | 00:36 |
| jeffmjack | so now i'm just trying to get rid of unity and install xfce and hope that works | 00:36 |
| jeffmjack | anybody have any opinions on if that's a good idea? | 00:36 |
| wylde | jeffmjack: that should work fine. The following factoid may help you :) | 00:37 |
| wylde | !puregnome | 00:37 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 00:37 |
| jeffmjack | wylde: nice thanks | 00:37 |
| jeffmjack | so unity is Kubuntu? | 00:37 |
| wylde | jeffmjack: at the bottom of that page are instructions to get a pure Xubuntu install | 00:37 |
| wylde | jeffmjack: nope, Gnome3. Unoty is a shell for gnome | 00:38 |
| wylde | Unity* | 00:38 |
| jeffmjack | ah got it | 00:38 |
| phic | yes | 00:38 |
| jeffmjack | so what i'm actually doing here is getting rid of gnome3 | 00:38 |
| jeffmjack | in order to switch to xubuntu | 00:39 |
| jeffmjack | of which xfce is a shell? | 00:39 |
| fuzyll | so, i sorted my GPT partitions with gdisk, updated /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab, and rebooted | 00:39 |
| wylde | jeffmjack: basically, you may not want to remove all the gnome packages if you like those tools. Using the !puregnome link and info will revert your install to only the packages that come with Xubuntu. | 00:39 |
| xangua | !purexfce | wylde jeffmjack to remove other(s) desktop when installing xfce | 00:39 |
| ubottu | wylde jeffmjack to remove other(s) desktop when installing xfce: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 00:39 |
| fuzyll | dumb, because i forgot to update-grub and grub-install /dev/sda | 00:40 |
| ohad_ | does modprobe changes things permanently? | 00:40 |
| wylde | xangua: thanks, I wasn't sure if there was a factoid for purexfce | 00:40 |
| fuzyll | i did that with a rescue disk, but now dm-crypt keeps trying to decrypt sda2_crypt at boot | 00:40 |
| fuzyll | when my encrypted partition is now sda3_crypt | 00:40 |
| fuzyll | where is it still getting sda2_crypt from? it's sda3_crypt in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /etc/crypttab | 00:41 |
| jeffmjack | wylde: great. thank you | 00:41 |
| escott | fuzyll, you should not be using letters and numbers to identify devices. those arent guaranteed to be the same. did you run update-initramfs? | 00:44 |
| fuzyll | nope, that's probably it | 00:45 |
| fuzyll | can i use a UUID in /etc/crypttab? | 00:45 |
| fuzyll | the 12.04 alternate installer automatically used sda2_crypt as a name, although i think the UUID is in there as well | 00:45 |
| nrdb | I have several virtual ethernet devices setup how can I tell if there tap or tun devices? | 00:46 |
| tamaros | How do I configure a smtp/imap server for mutt to use so I can send mail from the commandline? | 00:46 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | hi, I'm trying to attach a new hard disk to my server, sudo lshw -C disk shows that capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos | 00:47 |

| Nicolas_Leonida2 | says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb" | 00:47 |
| escott | Nicolas_Leonida2, that just means it is using dos/mbr partition tables not gpt | 00:48 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | so how do I mount it? | 00:48 |
| escott | Nicolas_Leonida2, don't pass type arguments to mount they are seldom necessary | 00:48 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | with no type it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" | 00:48 |

| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: its likely a fat/vfat or ntfs if it came from m$ | 00:49 |
| chicognu | how to creat a shortcut to execut a aplication as root ? | 00:49 |
| chicognu | usin gksudo for instance | 00:49 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | it's not from m$ this is the previous hard disk I had ubuntu on , I need to copy data | 00:49 |
| Floyd42 | Does anyone know how to change the position of the User List in XChat? I accidentally dragged it to the left and I can't seem to move it now. | 00:49 |
| escott | chicognu, why do you need to do this? | 00:49 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: are you sure that it is the whole disk and not a partition? | 00:49 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | SolarisBoy: what is the whole disk and not a partition? | 00:50 |
| chicognu | escott cuz the aplication needs to run as root | 00:50 |
| KM0201 | Floyd42: i'm not sure there's a way to do that, try asking in #xchat | 00:50 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: /dev/sdb is a whole disk /dev/sdb1 is the first partition | 00:50 |
| fuzyll | Nicolas_Leonida2: you probably installed ubuntu to /dev/sdbX where X is a partiton number | 00:50 |
| chicognu | escott i use gksudo, is it possible to make the aplication start with my theme ? | 00:50 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: generally the OS or whatever your looking for is installed to a partition and not a whole disk | 00:50 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | so should I try to mount sdb1 ? | 00:50 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: so use fdisk to print the partitions and choose the proper one | 00:50 |
| dagerik | My ALT GR button is not working. I can't produce symbols such as the email symbol, or the dollar symbol. Halp? | 00:51 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2:no guessing needed, simply fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 00:51 |
| Floyd42 | km0201: thanks, will try that | 00:51 |
| escott | chicognu, thats not the right answer. usage of root in a unix system is and should be rare. you may have root services running on your behalf but if you are regularly sudoing you are probably doing something wrong | 00:51 |
| simplew | how do i see a packag info with apt? | 00:51 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: maybe as sudo =) | 00:51 |
| fuzyll | simplew: apt-cache show <package>, i think | 00:52 |
| chicognu | escott never mind | 00:52 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | it shows sdb1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 so they need to be mounted indipendently each? | 00:52 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: once you get the partition fix the command to mount that one instead of the complete disk | 00:52 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: no | 00:52 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: can you gist/post your fdisk -l /dev/sdb output? | 00:52 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | sure, one sec | 00:52 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | there we go http://pastebin.com/7SmgtpMR | 00:53 |
| SolarisBoy | Nicolas_Leonida2: most likely /dev/sdb1 | 00:53 |
| escott | chicognu, if you want to describe what you are doing we might be able to come up with a better solution. otherwise the only option is setuid which is not appropriate for a gui | 00:53 |
| SolarisBoy | lol why did you have so many partitions | 00:53 |
| chicognu | escott but in time, can you awnser to me how to use al functions of wireshark with out be root ? | 00:53 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | SolarisBoy: yup, you got it! works now | 00:53 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | thanks | 00:53 |
| SolarisBoy | np | 00:53 |
| Orb23br | Hi everyone, trying to install ubuntu on HP notebook and having problem with Nvidia Gforce driver, pelase, someone could help me? | 00:53 |
| Satisfied | is there a way to stop banshee from opening when I put in a CD ? I'm in the process of ripping 1500 cd's and it's very very irritating to have to keep closing it | 00:54 |
| simplew | SolarisBoy: solaris? | 00:54 |
| SolarisBoy | simplew: at work.. | 00:54 |
| simplew | SolarisBoy: poor one | 00:54 |
| SolarisBoy | simplew: i dont think so.. | 00:54 |
| chicognu | escott all* | 00:54 |
| Aress | IS ubuntu 11.04 better than ubuntu 10.10? | 00:54 |
| SolarisBoy | if it were hpux boy then yea.. | 00:54 |
| SolarisBoy | but its not | 00:54 |
| simplew | SolarisBoy: so what are you doing in linux | 00:54 |
| escott | chicognu, do you really have frequent unattended usage of wireshark? | 00:54 |
| xangua | Aress: 10.10 is not supported | 00:54 |
| Aress | can 11.04 be launched on gnome? | 00:55 |
| fuzyll | escott: i did "update-initramfs -u" in the recovery cd and it still tries to cryptsetup sda2_crypt instead of sda3_crypt on boot (which then fails and drops me to busybox) | 00:55 |
| SolarisBoy | simplew: i use linux based desktops, i appreciate the linux community, im also a consultant who happens to be one of the only at my company who works on solaris systems | 00:55 |
| SolarisBoy | get it? | 00:55 |
| LinuxMonkey | simplew: apt-cache show packagename | 00:55 |
| SolarisBoy | its not like im bound to unix =) | 00:55 |
| fuzyll | am i missing something other than /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab? they both have the correct UUID of the drive, as well as the correct /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt line | 00:55 |
| SolarisBoy | its just a name for me | 00:55 |
| escott | fuzyll, what does your busybox crypttab look like? | 00:56 |
| fuzyll | /boot/grub/grub.cfg is also using /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt and not sda2_crypt | 00:56 |
| SolarisBoy | i luv ubuntu (not so much lately but w/e) | 00:56 |
| simplew | SolarisBoy: im just playing with you, no need to get worried :) | 00:56 |
| SolarisBoy | simplew: ::whew:: | 00:56 |
| Aress | does 11.04 have gnome? | 00:56 |
| SolarisBoy | lol | 00:56 |
| fuzyll | escott: "no such file or directory" (i'm guessing because my root partition is inside of the encrypted partition?) | 00:56 |
| SolarisBoy | Satisfied: you actually can stop that behaviour | 00:56 |
| LinuxMonkey | Ubuntu is all Gnome Based :) | 00:56 |
| xangua | Aress: all Ubuntu releases come with gnome | 00:57 |
| escott | fuzyll, the initramfs should have its own /etc | 00:57 |
| Aress | but there is unity | 00:57 |
| SolarisBoy | Satisfied: in default applications - you can select "do nothing" for the insert CD event | 00:57 |
| xangua | Aress: unity is just a shell for gnome | 00:57 |
| godutch | unity is awesome and amazing in 12.04 | 00:57 |
| * SolarisBoy thinks it is default applications atleast | 00:57 | |
| LinuxMonkey | !ununity | Aress | 00:57 |
| fuzyll | escott: it has its own /etc, but nothing other than mtab, passwd, and a few other things | 00:57 |
| Aress | I don't like unity :D | 00:57 |
| jeffmjack | anyone know how to totally wipe unity and gnome3 off ubuntu? | 00:57 |
| LinuxMonkey | grr | 00:57 |
| godutch | unity saves your ram | 00:58 |
| xangua | jeffmjack: ubbotu already gave you the instrucctions (if you wanted to install xfce) | 00:58 |
| ring0 | Aress, install gnome-panel and choose gnome classic at the login screen | 00:58 |
| jeffmjack | i want to install xfce and clean up some boot problems i've been having | 00:58 |
| SolarisBoy | i've grown to like it | 00:58 |
| Aress | What you recommend for me to do? Update to 11.04 or stay on 10.10 ? | 00:58 |
| Oer | !nounity | 00:58 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:58 |
| Aress | unity saves RAM? | 00:58 |
| jeffmjack | yeah but i can't figure out how to clean off unity from them | 00:58 |
| Aress | nice one | 00:58 |
| Floyd42 | jeffmjack: xubuntu , lubuntu, or kubuntu. | 00:58 |
| escott | fuzyll, i've never booted a mdcrypt system so I dont know cryptsetup very well. but the things to check are update-grub, update-initramfs, and make sure that the various files in /etc are the way they should be | 00:58 |
| godutch | Aress, you can see that in top | 00:58 |
| jeffmjack | i've tried sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and it refuses to install a necessary dependency | 00:58 |
| xangua | Aress: is up to you, i already told you 10.10 is no longer supported | 00:59 |
| jeffmjack | so it doesn't work | 00:59 |
| fuzyll | escott: alright, thanks - i'll keep googling for possible locations it could be reading the old /dev/mapper entry from :) | 00:59 |
| fuzyll | appreciate the help | 00:59 |
| jeffmjack | Floyd: i don't know | 00:59 |
| Floyd42 | jeffmjack: what's the dependency? | 00:59 |
| jeffmjack | libatk-adaptor-schemas | 00:59 |
| Aress | I'll try to update | 00:59 |
| Aress | :D | 00:59 |
| jeffmjack | plus i have this problem when it's booting- it hangs up on 'checking battery' | 01:00 |
| Belial` | Aress, 11.04 has the same classic desktop available that 10.10 does. it's supported until october of this year. | 01:00 |
| jeffmjack | which, i've read means there's problems with the nvidia drivers | 01:00 |
| Floyd42 | jeffmjack: try this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-spi2-atk/+bug/981140/comments/3 | 01:00 |
| jeffmjack | tried updating those, didn't work | 01:00 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 981140 in at-spi2-atk (Ubuntu) "package libatk-adaptor-schemas (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.a11y.atspi.gschema.xml', which is also in package libatk-adaptor 2.2.1-0ubuntu1" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 01:00 |
| Aress | so be up to date is good ? | 01:00 |
| chicognu | escott I use wireshark with some regularity, but do not know what you mean by "frequent usage of unattended wireshark?" | 01:00 |
| Aress | Does wine have a irc channel? | 01:01 |
| ring0 | Aress, #winehq | 01:01 |
| godutch | yes, #winehq | 01:01 |
| Floyd42 | aress: probably not. people who've drunk wine are not sober enough to be on irc ;) | 01:01 |
| Aress | aahh Just thought maybe winehq | 01:01 |
| simplew | how do i can query packages with apt? | 01:01 |
| Aress | :D | 01:01 |
| escott | chicognu, i would just type your password in. you could modify your sudoers file to allow wireshark to run without a password | 01:02 |
| chicognu | simplew apt-cacha search ? | 01:02 |
| chicognu | simplew apt-cache search ? | 01:02 |
| Aress | Floyd42 at #winehq people have drunk wine a lot :DD | 01:02 |
| jeffmjack | Floyd: trying, thanks1 | 01:02 |
| simplew | ok thanks | 01:02 |
| chicognu | simplew but not sure if is that waht you need | 01:02 |
| Floyd42 | aress: hehe was my attempt at a bad joke | 01:03 |
| Aress | ;( | 01:03 |
| chicognu | simplew do you need to search for a package or software name ? | 01:03 |
| simplew | package, im on it | 01:03 |
| godutch | synaptic can search | 01:04 |
| LinuxMonkey | you can also look up packages at packages.ubuntu.com | 01:04 |
| Aress | Dudes I have a problem. I always think about linux when I install it I come back to windows again cuz some things I need but I want linux again. :D | 01:05 |
| chicognu | godutch software center too, but it is too begginer to I use ... lol | 01:05 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | cp -r will move a directory right? | 01:06 |
| kylefox | That will copy it (recursively) | 01:06 |
| chicognu | old fashionable style own | 01:06 |
| LinuxMonkey | Aress I felt the same way, there are usually alternatives and worse case Wine. Drink Up :) | 01:06 |
| kylefox | (meaning, that directory and all subdirectories & files) | 01:06 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | I have an old IDE hard disk that won't be supported by my mainboard, what's the coolest thing I can do with it other than opening it to see what's inside? | 01:07 |
| Aress | I always had a problem with skype on linux | 01:07 |
| simplew | connelly: i want to query in the isntalled packages | 01:07 |
| kylefox | Has anyone tried compiling php-5.4.3 on ubuntu 12.04? I keep getting "configure: error: libXpm.(a|so) not found.", even though libXpm *is* installed. | 01:07 |
| Aress | quality is so messy | 01:07 |
| simplew | chicognu: i want to query in the isntalled packages | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | Nicolas_Leonida2 | 01:07 |
| Aress | why skype doesn't update version for linux ;( | 01:07 |
| ubottu | Nicolas_Leonida2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 01:07 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | ok sorry | 01:07 |

| wildman330 | Ok so I changed my GTK theme in ubuntu. But now I cannot see some of the fonts inside webpages (firefox). Is there any easy way to adjust this? | 01:09 |
| Random832 | wildman330: what fonts, what webpages? | 01:10 |
| Random832 | and what's it have to do with chnging your gtk theme? did you go to light on dark background or something? | 01:10 |
| LinuxMonkey | Aress: unsure were i read it but it seams the new owners who we shall not name in the skype are supposibly still working on updating the linux version. So only time will tell | 01:10 |
| wildman330 | basically in firefox some of the fonts are white on white. Cant see them. Basically like when i am responding to a blog post, cant see the fonts I am typing at all | 01:10 |
| Random832 | wildman330: try restarting firefox | 01:11 |
| Random832 | also, if you're using a theme that has white text on a dark background, try not doing that | 01:11 |
| css | oi acabei de instalar o linux mais minha net ta muito lenta no windows ela é mais rapida alguem sabe oque é.... | 01:11 |
| Aress | They are working on linux version? | 01:11 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | chicognu: not economical at all, I bought a 3TB and replaced it with the non-working 300GB belonging to archemidian times | 01:11 |
| LinuxMonkey | wildman330: in firefox go to your preferences ->content tab and there is a Font & colors section | 01:12 |
| chicognu | Nicolas_Leonida2 u can donate it to me ... | 01:12 |
| chicognu | Nicolas_Leonida2 it will be pretty awsome | 01:12 |
| chicognu | lol | 01:12 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | chicognu: it's broken | 01:12 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | I'm not gonna continue this discussion I need to not be banned from here lol | 01:13 |
| LinuxMonkey | Aress: yes they are continuing the work on it, there is a linux version right now but unsure when it will get updated again | 01:13 |
| wildman330 | LinuxMonkey, I know done tried it. Oh well, guess I will just have to use the default theme. No way to change it without screwing up fonts | 01:13 |
| css | blackbuntu | 01:13 |
| chicognu | Nicolas_Leonida2 them open it, play with the magnets, look you self on the disk, it is a very polishe surface, better than most of mirros | 01:14 |
| chicognu | :) | 01:14 |
| wildman330 | Only thing I hate about Unity -- you can't change the theme.. | 01:14 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | cool, will do that | 01:15 |
| wylde | wildc4rd: I'm sure that will change in time :) | 01:15 |
| wylde | err wildman330 | 01:15 |

| chicognu | if I hate the hole unity, it will count as "only one thing i hate in unity" ? | 01:16 |
| wildman330 | is there an easy way to just get rid of unity and use gnome-3? | 01:16 |
| wylde | LinuxMonkey: :P | 01:16 |
| LinuxMonkey | !nounity | wildman330 | 01:16 |
| ubottu | wildman330: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".

| wildman330 | will that method leave the unity bar? I sorta like the bar | 01:17 |
| LinuxMonkey | They need to update that so say 12.04 .lol | 01:17 |
| wildman330 | I just want to change themes.. Impossible with Unity | 01:17 |
| athleek | hi all | 01:18 |
| athleek | does dropbox (http://db.tt/WRAbat2) work with ubuntu? | 01:18 |
| wylde | wildman330: ubuntu-tweak lets you have a little more freedom with the themes. It's not perfect but does provide a few more options. | 01:18 |
| actionParsnip | athleek: dropbox is in the repos as dropbox-nautilus or nautilus-dropbox I forget which way around | 01:19 |

| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | pippijn | 01:25 |

| pippijn | can I make it more verbose so I can see where it stops? | 01:25 |

| X_SuBz3r0_X | ok i'll try that thx | 01:26 |
| jro | normal/ | 01:26 |
| pippijn | I don't get a corrupted splash screen | 01:26 |
| wylde | jro: that's why. If tUbuntu is the only OS it won't show the grub screen. | 01:26 |
| pippijn | it shows fine, for a few seconds, and then it's a _ blinking | 01:26 |
| wylde | jro: hold shift after the bios passes if you need to see it. | 01:26 |
| jro | wylde: any way to force it? | 01:27 |
| jro | ah | 01:27 |
| LinuxMonkey | pippijn: it will probably still fix your issue | 01:27 |
| wylde | jro: you can remove the splash quiet line in uhhhh..... /etc/default/grub? <-- anyone? then run 'sudo update-grub' | 01:27 |

| Nick_Kaedalus | Hey guys!! Ubuntu installed succesfully. :3 | 01:49 |
| LinuxMonkey | Congrats Nick_Kaedalus | 01:49 |
| wylde | *cheers*\o/ | 01:49 |
| y0om4 | well, i simply cannot get identd to work | 01:50 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | Now, I'm pretty new to this, so... may I ask something? >_< | 01:50 |
| y0om4 | no way aroudn it | 01:50 |
| LinuxMonkey | !ask | Nick_Kaedalus | 01:50 |
| ubottu | Nick_Kaedalus: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 01:50 |

| Nick_Kaedalus | Oh, alright. Sorry. So. I'm trying to install LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio), and I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 64-bits. When I try to install it, it says it has some dependencies that are not satisfiable. | 01:52 |
| reflexrg | what's the name of the package for add remove software? cause I don't like lubuntu software center... | 01:52 |
| LinuxMonkey | reflexrg: synaptic? | 01:53 |
| wylde | !apt | reflexrg | 01:54 |
| ubottu | reflexrg: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 01:54 |
| wylde | !find software-center | 01:54 |
| ubottu | Found: software-center, software-center-aptdaemon-plugins, lubuntu-software-center | 01:54 |
| wylde | !info software-center | 01:54 |
| ubottu | software-center (source: software-center): Utility for browsing, installing, and removing software. In component main, is optional. Version 5.2 (precise), package size 602 kB, installed size 4264 kB | 01:54 |
| koppe | unity crashed and couldn't be restarted properly, so I started icewm as back-up wm to continue (my x-clients and X didn't crash). However most programs are missing the menu-bar, and global menu-bar is not available. Is it possible to turn on menu-bar on a per-application basis? Is it possible to manually start the/a global menu-bar under icewm? I know I can reconfigure and restart unity, but not without killing my running x-clients. | 01:55 |
| LinuxMonkey | Nick_Kaedalus: does it specify what dependencies are not met | 01:57 |
| hash | so anyone here good with servers | 01:58 |
| hash | i was thinking of turning an old pc into a proxy server | 01:58 |
| Blackbiird|2 | Hi folks | 01:58 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | I think so. I'm using the Brazilian Portuguese language here, so I'll try to translate properly. lmms: Depends: lmms-common (= 0.4.10-2ubuntu1) but 0.4.13-stable.git.225-2~precise1 is to be installed. | 01:59 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | E: Impossible to fix issues, you kept (hold) broken packages. | 01:59 |
| escott | !pinning | Nick_Kaedalus did you pin it? | 02:00 |
| ubottu | Nick_Kaedalus did you pin it?: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 02:00 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | I don't think so. I just tried to install it through (sudo apt-get) and also through Synaptic. Will read the article. | 02:00 |
| hash | its a Pentium 4 with 256mb would that be good with a light linux system | 02:01 |
| escott | hash, yes | 02:01 |
| reflexrg | yes I am not dumb I already know how to use synaptic and apt but its nice to only get the graphical apps with the icons wylde LinuxMonkey | 02:01 |
| escott | hash, although you will spend more on electricity to keep that running than it would cost to buy a new one in a few months | 02:01 |
| Marck | Hi everyone - I'm having some issues with my ubuntu install, could someone help me? When I run it from a DVD, it's fine - but when I run it off my HD, it GUI is messed up. I think I have to install my graphics card driver, but I can't figure out how to do that when running from disk. | 02:01 |
| Floyd42 | marck: what graphics card do you have? | 02:02 |
| Marck | floyd42: AMD Radeon | 02:03 |
| Berto | Hi - I have 12.04 and my wireless remote's volume settings work but I NEVER set it up. Where do I config my remote in Ubuntu? | 02:03 |
| hash | escott, u think it would be that power hungry with no display just handling proxy traffic | 02:03 |
| Berto | lirc is not running so i have no clue what's operating my remote! | 02:03 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | Should I try pinning the install? | 02:03 |
| wylde | reflexrg: I don't recall anyone calling you dumb. We were simply answering your question. | 02:04 |
| Floyd42 | marck: see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 02:04 |
| Floyd42 | marck: and this one http://askubuntu.com/questions/79416/black-screen-after-installing-ubuntu-11-10-amd-64-altenate-radeon-graphics-card | 02:05 |
| Marck | floyd42: ok | 02:05 |
| escott | hash, rasberry pi is $25 and as powerful as your old machine and uses <5watts | 02:05 |
| hash | escott, nice im gonna have to look into that, i was only using that computer because its what i had laying around not being used | 02:07 |
| escott | hash, your p4 (which could be a lot of things) is potentially closer to 60 watts. 60 watts at 10cents per kW/hr is $50 anually | 02:07 |
| LinuxMonkey | escott: but their sold out.lol | 02:07 |
| maheanuu | I am having a problem trying to run Gnome Screenshot.... Where can I go to find out how to make this thing work? | 02:07 |
| escott | hash, not saying don't do it, just be aware that if you intend to run it 24/7/365 you might want a solution that has a better low power mode and faster bootup | 02:08 |
| maheanuu | escott, how much do you pay for kw where you live? | 02:09 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | Can I use Synaptic to pin the package? It seems easier. | 02:09 |
| pippijn | LinuxMonkey: it's acpi or wlan | 02:10 |
| pippijn | if I disable the wlan card in the bios, it boots | 02:10 |
| escott | maheanuu, no idea. i'm just looking at some government charts and a lot of us states have 10cents | 02:10 |
| pippijn | if I acpi=off, it boots | 02:10 |
| pippijn | I'll go with acpi=off for now and get a wlan dongle | 02:10 |
| LinuxMonkey | pippijn: yeah that power management is a PITA! | 02:11 |
| escott | maheanuu, eia.gov has national average at 11.54 | 02:11 |
| pippijn | it seems to be an asus issue | 02:11 |
| LinuxMonkey | glad you got it working atleast | 02:11 |
| pippijn | maybe I should buy a new wlan card | 02:12 |
| hash | escott, oh of course lower power bills and faster boot would be great and id probably go invest in one eventually | 02:12 |
| maheanuu | I presently pay 49 French Pacific Francs which is 53 cents a kilowatt in US Currency | 02:12 |
| escott | maheanuu, you people with your rational environmentally concious electrical pricing. don't you know god created the world for man so he could destroy it | 02:13 |
| hash | I'm hoping if the proxy server goes well to make a little money off it | 02:14 |
| escott | hash, from a purely environmental perspective its probably better to reuse, just be aware that you have that higher running cost | 02:14 |
| maheanuu | I really watch my lights and things, I live on a retired Navy Chief's Pension and my dsl bill is 14+ thousand francs which is around 150 a month in USD | 02:15 |
| maheanuu | I came in here to try to find out if anyone knew where I can find info on using Gnome-screencapture. I try to get it to operate on a page I am trying to get the information on 2 drives that failed so that I can possibly troubleshoot what is causing my problem and so far no capture | 02:17 |
| escott | maheanuu, in what way is gnome-screenshot not working | 02:17 |
| hash | escott, so until i can upgrade to a better system im guessing lubuntu set up as a server or could u suggest a better os for the job | 02:18 |
| escott | maheanuu, you can also get smart status with the smartctl command line tool | 02:18 |
| escott | hash, debian or ubuntu-server are great. no need to install a gui (unless you want it) | 02:19 |
| maheanuu | escott, I am trying to capture 2 screens of data that are brought up from /system/administration/diskutility and it is 2 of the disks that failed earlier while I was gone, I do not know what caused the failure as of yet all I know is the drives are being seen by the computer but they are both being read as corrupted | 02:21 |
| hash | escott, thanks | 02:21 |
| maheanuu | escott, what is the smartctl command line tool? | 02:21 |
| escott | maheanuu, sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda will print out text you can paste to us | 02:22 |
| escott | !pastebinit | maheanuu | 02:22 |
| ubottu | maheanuu: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 02:22 |
| maheanuu | escott, on the first drive that failed, it is showing smart drive disabled. I had 2 drives go down at the same time as far as I can tell as I was out for several hours this morning | 02:25 |
| sqwk | How can I check whether a particular user can read a file? | 02:25 |
| maheanuu | I am in the middle of a real firestorm | 02:25 |
| escott | !permissions | sqwk | 02:25 |
| ubottu | sqwk: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 02:25 |
| alusion | Is linux on an SSD overkill? | 02:28 |
| escott | alusion, in what way would it be? | 02:29 |
| escott | maheanuu, nothing in /var/log/kernel.log | 02:29 |
| maheanuu | escott, just a moment I will look | 02:30 |
| ZetaRC12 | anyone ever get an Acer Aspire One D-250 to sleep on closing? I can sleep and hibernate and restore from both states on the laptop manually. When I close the lid the backlight turns off, but the laptop never stops running. /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state only lists the state as closed, no matter if the lid is open or closed. | 02:30 |
| ZetaRC12 | alusion no, an SSD on any OS is awesomesauce | 02:31 |
| maheanuu | escott, its telling me that there is no such file or directory | 02:31 |
| escott | maheanuu, kern.log sorry | 02:31 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, I have a d250 have you updated the bios, you can do it from a windows OS. | 02:32 |
| wylde | ZetaRC12: I've seen a fair number of acpi bugs around, you may want to have a look for a similar one. With any luck someone posted a workaround. | 02:32 |
| wylde | or what wilee-nilee said .... | 02:32 |
| ZetaRC12 | wilee-nilee I don't have a windows os for this thing, but I'm fairly sure it's on the current bios | 02:33 |
| ironhoof | Hello I need to setup a port forward, but all the online tutorials use iptables which "is not a service" | 02:33 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, cool I never closed to sleep and I put XP back on in lieu of selling. | 02:34 |
| escott | ironhoof, you have to have some process to load your rules once you configure them the way you want. if you use ufw then just modify /etc/ufw. if you do it by hand you could add it to rc.local | 02:34 |
| maheanuu | escott,Same answer there | 02:34 |
| ZetaRC12 | wylde it took quite a bit of searching just to find a fix that would let this thing recover from sleep, have yet to find anything with my specific problem though | 02:34 |
| escott | maheanuu, well what do you have in /var/log | 02:35 |
| ironhoof | It supports TCP/UDP port forwarding? | 02:35 |
| wylde | ZetaRC12: ahh I see. | 02:35 |
| ZetaRC12 | wilee-nilee well Acer didn't include a disc, XP got thrashed, Acer won't send a disc even though XP is completely dead in 2014... Next time I'm buying something from S76 or Za... | 02:37 |
| maheanuu | I have a big list in /var/log shall I do a pastefile? | 02:37 |
| ZetaRC12 | maheanuu when in doubt pastbin | 02:38 |
| maheanuu | Thanks | 02:38 |
| escott | maheanuu, everything will get dumped into syslog so you could look at that, but for hardware related stuff its helpful to see the dmesg output which in mine is sent to kern.log | 02:38 |
| maheanuu | escott, here is the stuff http://paste.ubuntu.com/984710/ | 02:41 |
| escott | maheanuu, look at kern.log in that directory. | 02:42 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, hmm I bought the OEM set when under warranty for 30$ | 02:43 |

| pinportal | ubuntu 1204 has many bugs | 02:46 |
| princethakur | i am new here to ubuntu ! i had been using windows since 2005 | 02:46 |
| princethakur | but from last to yrs i become interested in ubuntu .. and now i have . in my laptop | 02:46 |
| princethakur | but don't know how to install IIIrd party software | 02:46 |
| princethakur | also unable to install Skype in my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 02:47 |
| escott | princethakur, in general you don't. but you can enable some third party sources and install them through the software center | 02:47 |
| bazhang | princethakur, look in the partner repo | 02:47 |
| princethakur | ? i have downloed skype from its original website | 02:47 |
| escott | princethakur, skype in particular is available as a from software center | 02:47 |
| bazhang | !partner | princethakur | 02:48 |
| ubottu | princethakur: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 02:48 |
| escott | princethakur, don't download from the web | 02:48 |
| princethakur | but i am unable to install in it ! | 02:48 |
| bazhang | princethakur, I just told you how | 02:48 |
| princethakur | i have ubuntu 12.04 lts | 02:48 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, what happened to the recovery partition, and why is there no backup of the OEM XP. I saved all that I don't use windows per-say, but to sell it well I think you know what I mean. :) | 02:48 |
| bazhang | princethakur, yes, and we told you where to get it. | 02:48 |
| Kenshizl | I have a question for xubuntu | 02:49 |
| princethakur | wait ! .. | 02:49 |
| bazhang | !info skype partner | princethakur | 02:49 |

| Kenshizl | Is there someplace I could go to get my question answered, or can I get it answered here? | 02:50 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: what's up? | 02:50 |
| princethakur_ | yesterday i was unable to do it. but now. i think i can do this | 02:50 |
| Stealthy | Hello there people. I'm looking for some advice. I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a friend's computer. I booted from the USB and clicked on "try ubuntu". Then I opened Gparted in order to create a new partition. I selected the size I wanted to shrink the only existing partition and clicked ok. Gparted has been now on for some 40 minutes but shows no progress on the status bar. Should I cancel the partition operation? Would be the data at any risk? | 02:51 |
| escott | Stealthy, i would not cancel in the middle of a resize | 02:51 |
| princethakur | ok.. | 02:52 |
| Kenshizl | Floyd42: The home folder is telling me that I only have about 4 Kb left in my hard drive, when in fact on Friday it had around 30Gb. | 02:52 |
| sqwk | What could be the reason why tomcat cannot find/see a file/resource even though the file exists at the specified path, permissions are set, etc? This only happens on the live ubuntu box… | 02:52 |
| wilee-nilee | princethakur, do not pm people without asking. | 02:53 |
| sham | hi! to all! | 02:53 |
| princethakur | oh! sorry | 02:53 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: did you check each folder, desktop, documents etc to see which is taking up the most space? | 02:53 |
| Kenshizl | Floyd42: And it won't let me do anthing. I tried to add a few songs from our mac, and xubuntu popped up a sign saying "out of memory!" | 02:53 |
| sham | please help me....when i active my wifi card in linux then it show me this error | 02:53 |
| sham | SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock | 02:53 |
| Kenshizl | I don't know where to start | 02:53 |
| Stealthy | thanks escott, ironically enough, gparted finished right after I asked my question :P | 02:54 |
| escott | Kenshizl, there is a program called baobob that can help you identify what is using disk space. you can also always boot the livecd if the installed system is not working well | 02:55 |
| sham | any one know how to active my wifi card in linux it's show this error..SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock | 02:55 |
| escott | Stealthy, be careful to take backups. resizing has the potential to be destructive | 02:55 |
| Darkenvy | !afp | 02:55 |

| Darkenvy | youve helped me countless times :P | 02:57 |
| JoeyA | Is it possible to redirect an application using ALSA sound to pulse? You can redirect OSS to pulse using padsp. | 02:57 |
| Kenshizl | Sorry, I was typing the thing already when I say your post. | 02:57 |
| escott | JoeyA, pulse provides a "mostly complete" alsa implementation | 02:58 |
| princethakur | i have to install a 58.3mb ? skype from software center ? that will be full skype or just beta version ? | 02:58 |
| Nick_Kaedalus | Well, I'm getting frustrated over here. Been trying to install LMMS for about 2 hours, and no progress. Most things I tried seem to be heavily incompatible with Ubuntu 12.04, and (I think it's because it's a new version) there is almost no answers to problems people been having with this version. | 02:58 |
| JoeyA | When I use a program with ALSA, it doesn't use the right sound output. | 02:58 |
| sham | thank u ubottu | 02:58 |
| JoeyA | (I have two sound devices) | 02:58 |
| sunilsusa6 | please what is the name of the server +channel for lmde | 02:59 |
| Darkenvy | I can mount a AFP (direct gigabit ethernet from OSX 10.7 to ubuntu 12) and can pull files from AFP but cannot push! | 02:59 |
| JoeyA | Actually, all the pulse applications are using the wrong output device. I fixed it just by setting the output device in the sound settings. | 02:59 |
| bazhang | sunilsusa6, use alis. MINT is not likely supported on this network though | 02:59 |
| bazhang | !alis | sunilsusa6 | 03:00 |
| ubottu | sunilsusa6: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 03:00 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I couldn't find it in the software center. | 03:00 |
| escott | Kenshizl, there is a software sources settings which you might need to modify to enable the partner repos | 03:01 |
| Darkenvy | Oh what does incremental backup? something that only saves the differences (changes)? IVe looked for ages | 03:01 |
| Darkenvy | but its such a special thing to ask for thus I cant find anything | 03:01 |
| bazhang | Darkenvy, rsync? | 03:02 |
| bazhang | !rsync | Darkenvy | 03:02 |
| Darkenvy | no that just sends files off to another computer | 03:02 |
| ubottu | Darkenvy: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync | 03:02 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: check which subfolder under home is occupying most space and report. you can do this via terminal, or gui programs. | 03:02 |
| Darkenvy | yes Ive looked into that but I dont want to send my files remotely | 03:02 |
| din | Darkenvy: not true. it only copies changed blocks of modified files. | 03:02 |
| robgraves | splith | 03:02 |
| din | Darkenvy: man rsync. | 03:03 |
| Darkenvy | but I dont want to send it off somewhere | 03:03 |
| * godutch removed rsync | 03:03 | |
| din | it can rsync local directories... | 03:03 |
| Darkenvy | hmmm | 03:03 |
| Darkenvy | are there alternatives? while im asking :P | 03:03 |
| din | cpio... i use that a lot | 03:04 |
| din | i.e. find /dir | cpio -dpmv /dest/dir | 03:04 |
| * godutch removed deja-dup | 03:04 | |

| StepNjump | Does anyone know if virtual box works under the new Ubuntu 12.04? | 03:09 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: i already gave you the command in the PM | 03:09 |
| Kenshizl | Now it says I have 0 bytes in my files= system. | 03:10 |
| wilee-nilee | StepNjump, I ave the precise version from the site running fine. Running in the development as well. | 03:10 |
| wilee-nilee | *have | 03:10 |
| StepNjump | ok good wilee-nilee. Somebody just told me today it's not working! | 03:11 |
| StepNjump | that's good to know | 03:11 |
| Kenshizl | I meant, I have 0 bytes available in my file system. | 03:11 |
| ZetaRC12 | wilee-nilee sorry, was cooking, there never was a recovery partition, I have .ISO's of XP home SP2 and Pro SP3, Newegg bought OEM, but the serial for xp from acer didn't work with either | 03:11 |
| Kenshizl | Floyd42: What's a pm? | 03:11 |
| wilee-nilee | StepNjump, lol some just don't know how or it is their hardware | 03:11 |
| StepNjump | yep | 03:12 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: personal message | 03:12 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: du -hs /path-to-folder | 03:12 |
| escott | Jatinder, physical address extension. otherwise its 4gb of addressable space (but that INCLUDES mapped video ram -- so most only see 2-2.5GB) | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, if there was no recovery partition you would have gotten a OEM disc, was this purchased new | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, the key on the units outside is not the correct one as well. | 03:13 |
| ZetaRC12 | wilee-nilee yeah it was new, but none was included in the box. Not that a D-250 has an optical drive anyways, but I do have 5.25" usb enclosures | 03:14 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, I have never heard of a computer with windows not having a disc or recovery partition. | 03:14 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, possible I guess but highly unlikely. | 03:15 |
| ZetaRC12 | wilee-nilee well Acer does own eMachines... | 03:15 |
| wwalker_ | anyont installed ubuntu 12 on vmware fusion 3? | 03:15 |
| wwalker_ | when I do, it creates a "monitor" about 16000x12000 (thousands, not hundreds) | 03:16 |
| wwalker_ | no other OS does that. | 03:16 |
| wwalker_ | is there a boot option for ubuntu to limit the monitor or set the resolution? | 03:16 |
| wilee-nilee | ZetaRC12, not sure of your cause and effect there, but I bought my d250 2 years ago it had a recovery partition. | 03:17 |

| * godutch installed flash by hand | 03:19 | |
| ZetaRC12 | godutch that had to burn... | 03:19 |
| Kenshizl | Floyd: Exactly. It's having a terrible issue. It says in the status bar on the bottom "8 items (32.0KB), Free space: 0 bytes | 03:20 |
| legasp | hey guys, anyone here with ubuntu 12.04 can tell me how much RAM their system uses | 03:20 |
| legasp | without any big apps like Firefox, as in after a fresh boot | 03:20 |

| phex0 | wawowe: i'm looking there, do i need to create a file? | 03:22 |
| undecim | legasp: And idk if that includes cache. It's with the "system monitor" | 03:23 |

| Waraudon | Did a minimal installation of Ubuntu with openbox and xfce4-panel, gtk2 theme engines are installed, but some applications (like GParted) are still using the default non-themed style. Any ideas? | 03:23 |
| ZetaRC12 | anyone ever get an Acer Aspire One D-250 to sleep on closing? I can sleep and hibernate and restore from both states on the laptop manually. When I close the lid the backlight turns off, but the laptop never stops running. /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state only lists the state as closed, no matter if the lid is open or closed. | 03:24 |
| L3top | Doesn't unity desktop have a place in system to add scripts to startup or shutdown? I thought I stumbled across that... gimme a min to poke around phex0. | 03:25 |
| wawowe | phex0: copy from /etc/rc6.d/S90reboot to S89local and change reboot -d -f -i | 03:26 |
| undecim | With an encrypted home directory, is it possible to allow login (and decryption) from either a password OR a keyfile on a USB drive (similar to a LUKS-encrypted LVM with auto-login) | 03:26 |
| undecim | ?* | 03:26 |
| phex0 | wawowe: awesome, thanks :) | 03:26 |
| escott | undecim, i remember looking at that a year or so ago and the keyfile stuff was not working. maybe it is now. check dustin kirkland's blogs | 03:27 |
| ch33z | hello! | 03:27 |
| Kenshizl | Are you there, Floyd42? | 03:27 |
| ch33z | how do i give access privileges? to ftp login? | 03:27 |
| ch33z | for example | 03:27 |
| ch33z | i login via SFTP and its already set up | 03:28 |
| ch33z | it shows my files | 03:28 |
| ch33z | but, cannot copy even though im logged in as admin with the FTP program | 03:28 |
| bazhang | !enter | ch33z | 03:28 |
| ubottu | ch33z: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:28 |
| wawowe | phex0: and make sure to chmore 755 S89local | 03:28 |
| princethakur | cheez ? hello ! | 03:28 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: yes. sorry, i'm out of ideas. | 03:28 |
| ch33z | princethakur hello! | 03:28 |
| wawowe | phex0: chmod 755 S89local | 03:28 |
| escott | ch33z, sftp uses ssh uses the same local user configuration. ftp uses its own thing and is often not configured to use the same users as passwd (because ftp is insecure) | 03:28 |
| princethakur | such a nice name your "CHEEZ" | 03:29 |

| usalabs | hi everyone, I have a big problem,,, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 in classic desktop mode, but Ubuntu is being stubborn at uninstalling openJDK and relplacing it with the sun java jre,,,, I tried to remove it from using the software center, and using apt-get to install sun java6 jre from the ppa, but 'java -version' always shows openjdk, and when I look in the software center, openjdk is re-installed,,,,,,how do I completely remove openjdk and | 03:30 |
| usalabs | replace it with sun java jre? | 03:30 |
| Kenshizl | var = 326 (that's what terminal says) | 03:30 |
| ch33z | princethakur lol thanks! | 03:30 |
| princethakur | ubuntu 11.04 having so many problems .. you can see - 12.04 version of ubuntu .. why don't you try this for you! | 03:31 |
| princethakur | i have already switched @ usalabs | 03:31 |
| princethakur | <cheez> what do u do ? | 03:31 |
| bazhang | princethakur, this is NOT the chat channel | 03:31 |

| bazhang | princethakur, so dont chat here. #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat | 03:32 |
| princethakur | if i nees some help related to .. development .. so i could i ask ? | 03:32 |
| Resistance | i know in 11.04 i was able to remove that package, but... | 03:32 |
| princethakur | ok ok .. ok | 03:32 |
| Kenshizl | Floyd42: I really don't want to reinstall it. I finnaly got it to work right after 4 tries. | 03:32 |
| bazhang | !notunity | usalabs | 03:32 |
| ubottu | usalabs: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 03:32 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: Aha! Sounds like something's wrong with the installation which is causing it to continuously write to the log files. | 03:32 |
| === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance | ||
| princethakur | @floyd42 - why don't u update to 12.04 | 03:33 |
| princethakur | its such awesome | 03:33 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: I'd suggest opening the log files and seeing what is wrong, but I don't think it's gonna be easy to open a 30GB text file. | 03:33 |
| whoever | zykotic10: you around | 03:33 |
| surt | I have a custom launcher on my panel: "shutdown -r now". It works without root access in a terminal. Why doesn't it work on the panel? | 03:33 |
| Kenshizl | Floyd42: a file called "syslog" (with no extension) is 14 gb | 03:34 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: Gedit will surely crash when opening such a huge file. LXDE's text editor might be lightweight .. you could try opening it in that. | 03:34 |
| whoever | zykotic10: i figured out what was going on with nm | 03:34 |
| princethakur | as we can use wamp in windows .. do we have something related in ubuntu ? | 03:34 |
| princethakur | if so please tell me. .i have to install | 03:34 |
| bazhang | !lamp | princethakur | 03:35 |
| ubottu | princethakur: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:35 |
| princethakur | how to install ? | 03:35 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: We won't know what the problem is without opening and seeing what the error in those files are. But your system will probably hang trying to open such a large file. Try splitting it into smaller fragments. | 03:35 |
| bazhang | princethakur, read the links? | 03:35 |
| princethakur | i have already downloaded | 03:35 |
| whoever | zykotic10: since i had my static ip set in resolv.conf, you can't use nm reliably, but in 12.04 you must have the line "dns-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and problem solved | 03:36 |

| Floyd42 | kenshizl: brb. | 03:40 |
| escott | Kenshizl, kern.log is a subset of syslog. the kernel is evidently seeing something in the hardware causing it to spit out repetitive comments. any random line from your log is likely to be from that kernel problem | 03:40 |

| Kenshizl | escott & Floyd42: I don't use terminal much (I'm a DOS guy), so how could I split it (I saw the link you sent, but that only helped a little) | 03:43 |
| escott | Kenshizl, "less kern.log" hit page down a few times and it should start being repetitive. hit "q" to exit | 03:43 |

| Joelixny | Hello, I'm having many problems with my 12.04 install. The most urgent one being that it doesn't always boot. I have to try usually more than 3 times just to get it to book. This only happens when I use my laptop's NVidia descrete GPU. When using intel graphics it boots fine every time. | 03:46 |
| quixotedon | Joelixny: problem with the graphic card driver then | 03:47 |
| Areckx | how do I connect to an SSID with wlan0? | 03:48 |
| quixotedon | Joelixny: what's the card? | 03:48 |
| TheAncientGoat | Wow this is getting on my tail. 12.04 keeps on freezing, looks like compiz crashes, bringing down unity as well. It also sometimes boots to a black screen when not connected to the charger, but booting it in safe mode doesn't have that problem. Have tried both Noveau and multiple Nvidia drivers | 03:48 |
| Kenshizl | Floyd42: escott suggested "less", which is working so far. | 03:48 |
| Joelixny | quixotedon~ I tried the Nouveau driver, the propietary one and straight from the site one; it's a quadro 2000M | 03:48 |
| Floyd42 | kenshizl: cool. as long as we get to see what the error is .. | 03:48 |
| TheAncientGoat | hmm, woah, card is running at 90 C, maybe that's whats crashing it | 03:49 |
| L3top | _Tristan: I just did the same thing without issue. I would recommend you touch /forcefsck and reboot. | 03:49 |
| escott | Kenshizl, it should be obvious when you see it. pages upon pages of the same error message | 03:49 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I took a picture of terminal of a couple lies in the "kern.log" file. How do I attatch it and send it only to you over the chat client? | 03:49 |
| L3top | _Tristan: sudo touch /forcefsck sorry | 03:50 |
| escott | TheAncientGoat, "when not connected to the charger" is suggestive of some kind of switchable graphics. | 03:50 |

| escott | Kenshizl, are you seeing the same line repeated multiple times? | 03:52 |

| TheAncientGoat | escott: Hmm, will try that, thanks, but I doubt it will fix the freezing problem. | 03:53 |
| Kenshizl | escott: Here it is- | 03:53 |

| Kenshizl | Should I go down a couple lines, then? | 03:54 |
| TheAncientGoat | escott: But, it won't affect things after the boot, right? | 03:55 |
| Kenshizl | Okay | 03:55 |
| escott | Kenshizl, that 0.0000 is seconds after boot, and the kernel spams a lot to the log as it identifies what kind of hardware it is running on. scroll down until 600+ (5 minutes after boot) | 03:55 |
| escott | Kenshizl, alternately you could just type "dmesg" and not worry about this log stuff. it will show what is currently in the ring buffer | 03:56 |
| Joelixny | Hello, I'm having many problems with my 12.04 install. The most urgent one being that it doesn't always boot. I have to try usually more than 3 times just to get it to book. This only happens when I use my laptop's NVidia descrete GPU. When using intel graphics it boots fine every time. My card is a Quadro 2000m and I've tried the Nouveau, the propietary and straight from the site drivers. | 03:56 |
| L3top | _Tristan: No. You cannot fsck a mounted drive. | 03:57 |
| escott | TheAncientGoat, safe mode disables a lot of stuff that is "dangerous" so it could affect things after the boot | 03:57 |
| _Tristan | L3top: I know, can't I unmount it? | 03:57 |
| escott | _Tristan, if you close all applications... which would include init... which would shutdown the os | 03:57 |
| undecim | Joelixny: Have you tried the "nomodeset" kernel parameter? | 03:57 |
| _Tristan | damn | 03:57 |
| Joelixny | undecim~ How do I do that? | 03:58 |
| _Tristan | can't touch /forcefsck, read only filesystem :| | 03:58 |
| TheAncientGoat | escott: Yes, but the freezing issue I think is seperate from the blackscreen issue. The video drivers don't initialize when I boot into safemode, so I cannot run Blender or the applications I usually do, where the freeze happens | 03:58 |
| undecim | Joelixny: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 03:58 |
| Kenshizl | escott: this line repeats about 10 times-- May 10 08:20:20 kenny-HP-d530-SFF-dg781a kernel: [ 3186.786735] usb 2-1: Rx status -84 | 03:59 |
| escott | TheAncientGoat, try adding nomodeset to your boot options, and if you have some kind of switchable graphics (which if you have a modern intel you do) then go into the bios and try to disable one of the cards | 03:59 |
| Kenshizl | escott: then this one about 15 times -- May 10 08:20:24 kenny-HP-d530-SFF-dg781a kernel: [ 3190.618174] net eth1: eth1: allmulti set | 04:00 |
| escott | Kenshizl, so some usb device is doing something funky | 04:00 |
| TheAncientGoat | Laptop is from 2007, using an amd turion processor | 04:00 |
| escott | Kenshizl, do you have a usb wireless adapter | 04:00 |
| Joelixny | thank you undecim | 04:00 |
| escott | TheAncientGoat, try nomodeset then | 04:00 |
| TheAncientGoat | Will do so after I hard reboot again | 04:01 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I don't have a wirless adapter, this is a desktop. The ethernet is plugged in via a ethernet-to-usb adapter. | 04:01 |
| escott | Kenshizl, bingo. | 04:01 |
| Kenshizl | escott: that's what's causing all the touble? | 04:01 |
| escott | Kenshizl, evidently | 04:01 |
| L3top | _Tristan: assuming you used sudo, then you are going to have to boot to live disk or something and fsck from there, which is an even more of a problem in your circumstance. | 04:02 |
| _Tristan | I have a half-broken live usb plugged into the server, which gives me busybox + mdadm | 04:02 |
| Kenshizl | escott: if I unplug it, will the log rewrit itself and clear it out so it does not take up so much space? | 04:02 |
| _Tristan | so if I get a KVM I should just be able to fsck /dev/md1... | 04:03 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I meant "rewrite" | 04:03 |
| escott | Kenshizl, you will want to manually remove the log, but it will stop spamming new messages | 04:03 |
| zenocon | hi, anyone have a recommendation for gfx card for dual monitor setup? | 04:03 |
| Kenshizl | escott: will something bad happen if I delete both "kern.log" and syslog? | 04:03 |
| L3top | oh | 04:03 |
| escott | Kenshizl, before you do you might want to run sudo lshw -C network to get some details for web searches to see if you can resolve the problem | 04:03 |
| escott | Kenshizl, no. delete them and reboot | 04:04 |
| L3top | _Tristan: I dont even know if you can fsck a sw raid... someone else will have to confirm. | 04:04 |
| escott | L3top, sure you can. why wouldn't you be able to | 04:04 |
| L3top | Never done it, dont fool with it, just dont want to give advice that blows something up escott. | 04:05 |
| L3top | esp if it is 3k miles away | 04:06 |
| escott | L3top, you can run tcp/ip over carrier pigeons and you can mkfs or fsck anything that presents itself as a block device (including stone tablets if you have a driver for it) | 04:06 |
| Kenshizl | escott: what am I looking for when I run that command line? | 04:06 |
| L3top | Thank you escott. | 04:06 |
| Floyd42 | kenshiz: a word of advice: deleting the logs might free disk space, but not solve the crux of the problem. it's wise to do a google search for the error message and get to the root of it. | 04:07 |
| escott | Kenshizl, its going to tell you what kind of ethernet usb device you have and what kernel driver you are using | 04:07 |
| === james is now known as Guest57412 | ||
| Guest57412 | is this a place to get help? :) | 04:07 |
| L3top | yes. | 04:08 |
| Floyd42 | guest57412: what's the problem? | 04:08 |
| escott | Kenshizl, once you unplug the device its not going to appear in lshw making it a little harder to figure out who the manufacturer is | 04:08 |
| Kenshizl | Floyd42: I don't really get an error message. It just won't let me put anything on the hardrive because there is no disk space. | 04:09 |

| leafw | hi all. In 12.04, where is the switch to make F1, F2 ... work directly, rather than fn+F1, fn+F2 ...? Thanks for any pointers. | 04:16 |
| leafw | in System Settings, keyboard layout, options -- did not find any related to fn key. I read them all. | 04:16 |
| L3top | chipotle: simple or advanced? | 04:16 |
| Joelixny | Hello, I'm having many problems with my 12.04 install. The most urgent one being that it doesn't always boot. I have to try usually more than 3 times just to get it to book.

My card is a Quadro 2000m and I've tried the Nouveau, the propietary and straight from the site drivers. | 04:16 |
| Joelixny | I also tried nomodeset | 04:17 |
| LinuxMonkey | leafw: im gonna guess your on a laptop | 04:17 |
| REK_007 | princethakur: no it works fine for me ... get .deb from official site of skype and install | 04:17 |
| leafw | LinuxMonkey: yes | 04:17 |
| princethakur | i installed from software center | 04:17 |
| princethakur | rek_007, | 04:17 |
| LinuxMonkey | leafw: yeah usually thats hard coded into the keyboard lol | 04:17 |
| leafw | 12.04 works great, but it is hard to use applications like inkscape when every tool switch is fn+F1 etc. rather than just F1 | 04:18 |
| REK_007 | princethakur: whats the version? | 04:18 |
| princethakur | 12.04 lts of my ubuntu | 04:18 |
| Kenshizl | escott & Floyd42: Okay, that didn't work. It won't let me delete the files. "Permission Denied" | 04:18 |
| princethakur | and 2.0.2 of skype beta | 04:18 |
| princethakur | rek_007 | 04:18 |
| escott | Kenshizl, sudo rm /var/log/kern.log /var/log/syslog | 04:18 |
| leafw | LinuxMonkey: it isn't, prior versions of ubuntu had the switch, in xorg.conf or in pommed.conf. Now this macbook pro install of 12.04 doesn't have neither xorg.conf nor pommed.conf, so I am lost. | 04:18 |
| Kenshizl | Ah, thanks. | 04:18 |
| REK_007 | well its the same i just checked with the software centre princethakur so it should not be a problem .. just try restarting it | 04:19 |
| princethakur | i think so might be my network connection is Slow thats why its slow - rek_007 | 04:19 |
| princethakur | . | 04:20 |
| Kenshizl | I'm heading out and off. wish me luck! | 04:20 |
| REK_007 | well I use skype on 512kbps and it works just fine .. just that linux client is bit outdated to its windows counter part | 04:20 |

| _Tristan | I have busybox and I need to use it to fsck something, but busybox doesn't have fsck. What if I mounted the system under busybox, chrooted to it, then unmounted the filesystem from itself, then run fsck? Would that work? | 04:21 |
| writelight | Good Day, Everyone *VBS | 04:21 |
| REK_007 | Joelixny: no need to spam .. if anyone can help he/she will highlight you ... | 04:21 |
| LinuxMonkey | leafw: thats because the newer x server dont require a xorg.conf anymore however you are free to create one | 04:21 |
| escott | _Tristan, or just mount read only | 04:21 |
| dagerik | How can I change caret speed in lxde? | 04:21 |
| leafw | LinuxMonkey: I see, so xorg.conf became optional | 04:21 |
| _Tristan | nowai, I can fsck something read only? | 04:21 |
| escott | _Tristan, i thought you were 3000 miles away. how can you access the busybox system? | 04:21 |
| LinuxMonkey | leafw: that is correct | 04:21 |
| Joelixny | Ok, sorry REK_007 | 04:22 |
| dagerik | Like when I press the left keyboard key, I want the caret to start to move faster.That is, reduce the delay. | 04:22 |
| _Tristan | kvm, but the usb stick is broken so I just get busybox | 04:22 |
| writelight | Are the members of the admin help group volunteers of the ubuntu distribution industry or are they simply random people | 04:22 |
| escott | _Tristan, fscking a readonly system is less risky. worst case you fix an inode and cause the kernel to panic, but you won't introduce additional corruption | 04:22 |
| leafw | LinuxMonkey: thanks. Now I "only" have to figure out what magical incantation in xorg.conf will do the trick with the fn key, given that this macbook doesn't have an nvida card anymore, so I am not aware of who controls the fn key now. | 04:23 |
| wilee-nilee | writelight, mutants. :) | 04:23 |
| REK_007 | Joelixny: feel free to repeat your question but do it after you take some time :) | 04:23 |
| LinuxMonkey | !xorgconf | leafw | 04:23 |
| ubottu | leafw: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 04:23 |
| _Tristan | escott: How can I mount as read only? | 04:23 |
| Joelixny | Okay, REK_007, I just didn't know how much time was appropiate. | 04:23 |
| escott | _Tristan, mount -o ro /dev/sdX# /mnt/whatever | 04:24 |
| leafw | ubottu: thanks, bottu | 04:24 |
| escott | leafw, more likely a low level input or kernel boot parameter than anything in xorg.conf | 04:25 |
| leafw | escott: for nvdia-loaded macbookpro 5,5, xorg.conf was the place. | 04:25 |
| writelight | I also have a few questions which is less serious, but would like to find out what my options are under different distributions ? | 04:26 |

| princethakur | ok.. can any buddy let me know, how to use lamp ? | 04:38 |
| JelloPop | newbi: what file? | 04:38 |
| bazhang | princethakur, read the links given to you | 04:39 |
| L3top | chipotle: http://video-editing.findthebest.com/compare/22-43/Cinelerra-vs-Final-Cut-Express | 04:39 |
| bazhang | !lamp | princethakur read them this, the 3rd time | 04:39 |
| ubottu | princethakur read them this, the 3rd time: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 04:39 |
| wilee-nilee | neeteex, look in the ccsm at the unity plugin | 04:39 |
| JelloPop | writelight: graphics is not the issue the issue is driver support by linux. | 04:39 |
| newbi | JelloPop: its an stegano decoder found here: http://hackquest.com/modules/HackQuest/hacking/92745/92745.php | 04:40 |
| L3top | chipotle: it is not as intuitive, easy to use, but is every inch as powerful... probably more. | 04:40 |
| chipotle | ah, but not easy to use : | 04:40 |
| chipotle | :/ | 04:40 |
| chipotle | sigh | 04:40 |
| princethakur | i have installed but don't know how to add my script folder to lamp as i used . in wamp . just copy - and paste | 04:40 |
| chipotle | i am new to video editing but still want something that is powerful | 04:40 |
| L3top | that is why I said it was very advanced chipotle. | 04:40 |

| writelight | I am reading text and setting up my fonts they're all the same colour and I'm trying to differentiate them | 04:41 |
| bazhang | princethakur, have you read any of the links? | 04:41 |
| newbi | JelloPop: its no virus, i can assure. the site is governed by Dutch law. | 04:41 |
| L3top | chipotle: try kdenlive | 04:41 |
| princethakur | bazhang, ok thanks let me try | 04:41 |
| LinuxMonkey | Thanks leafw | 04:41 |
| bazhang | princethakur, we have given you many, yet most of those questions are answered in the links given | 04:41 |
| ZetaRC12 | anyone ever get an Acer Aspire One D-250 to sleep on closing? I can sleep and hibernate and restore from both states on the laptop manually. When I close the lid the backlight turns off, but the laptop never stops running. /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state only lists the state as closed, no matter if the lid is open or closed. | 04:41 |

| L3top | !anyone | gutzmek | 04:43 |
| ubottu | gutzmek: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 04:43 |
| neeteex | wilee-nilee, I'm not sure about how to do that : unity plugin is installed, how do I get to configuration ? | 04:43 |
| bazhang | gutzmek, ##netfilter | 04:43 |
| newbi | JelloPop: thanks anyways. | 04:43 |
| JelloPop | writelight: ur going to have to dig alot deeper to figure out what module or library is not loaded to get third monitor to work. lsmod | 04:44 |
| neeteex | wilee-nilee, thanks, I found it ! | 04:44 |
| writelight | Princethaker if you were posting for me I was unsure because my name was not written beside the links so it could have been for someone else | 04:44 |
| Areckx | ok this is getting really annoying... how do I connect to an ssid from command line? I keep using iwlist but it doesn't let me use pgup pgdwn like manpages in command line | 04:45 |
| Areckx | iwconfog | 04:45 |
| escott | Areckx, then pipe it to less | 04:45 |
| JelloPop | module = driver , but needs supported library's to run third monitor I imagine is the case. Best to seek out a Arch LInux user that has installed a third monitor with simiular hardware they probably know libraries assiocated with hardware.. | 04:46 |
| wilee-nilee | neeteex, cool, your welcome. | 04:46 |
| Areckx | escott: how do i do that I tried putting less in the command line | 04:46 |
| escott | Areckx, setting up wireless from the cli is complex. if you already established a connection with network manager you might want to use nm-cli | 04:46 |
| crf | Hi, I mounted the cd-rom on a mac, and it said it was a joliet file system. | 04:46 |
| proxinix | lol | 04:47 |
| Areckx | I am in shell and can't get onyo gnome | 04:47 |
| Gallomimia | um interesting a sudo package update | 04:47 |
| crf | So why isn't my Ubuntu able to mount it? I think it should right? | 04:47 |
| bazhang | crf, hows that related to ubuntu? | 04:47 |
| proxinix | admin adminnnnnn! | 04:47 |
| L3top | Areckx: command | less | 04:47 |
| crf | bazhang, I'm trying to read the CD in ubuntu | 04:47 |
| proxinix | crf you mounted what cd to what distro? | 04:47 |
| writelight | You can mount under ext 4 it means you installed ubuntu under ext 3 | 04:47 |
| crf | proxinix, it will not mount in Ubuntu | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | crf: Where did you get this iso image? What is it? | 04:48 |
| escott | crf, where did you get this disk from? | 04:48 |
| L3top | crf what is "it" | 04:48 |
| crf | Jordan, it is a cd, with documents on it, I think. | 04:48 |
| writelight | Its all automatic under ext 4 ubuntu install and its a faster filing system also | 04:48 |
| Areckx | so how do i connect to something using nmcli | 04:49 |
| escott | crf, perhaps https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/510042 | 04:49 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 510042 in linux (Ubuntu) "Hybrid iso image won't mount" [Undecided,Won't fix] | 04:49 |
| Areckx | the manpages are not helping at all | 04:49 |
| L3top | !details | Gallomimia | 04:49 |
| ubottu | Gallomimia: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 04:49 |
| crf | escott, thanks, I'll look at that report. | 04:49 |
| escott | Areckx, nmcli is intended only for enabling already established connection profiles | 04:50 |
| thirsty | how can i get gedit to color code my php file? Gedit's highlight mode is already set to "php". | 04:50 |
| writelight | up until a few years ago linux was a quiet operating system ubuntu's got everyone on the systems | 04:50 |
| bazhang | writelight, why are you saying this | 04:50 |
| waxstone | is there a way to revert the keyboard shortcuts automatically BACK to defaults in 12.04? | 04:50 |
| Areckx | it has many times in gnome, but I am trying to repair mu | 04:50 |
| writelight | I write my mind | 04:50 |

| bazhang | Smallinsect, downloaded what files | 04:52 |
| Areckx | i just need to connect to the internet so I can reinstll wverything, I really wish there was a way to just restore my system to complete defaults and format the partition | 04:52 |
| Smallinsect | bazhang: ??? how can I download if i have no connection in the notebook with lubuntu | 04:53 |
| L3top | Areckx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo | 04:53 |
| writelight | I am aware of open source programs its just that theres compatibility bugs in some operating systems | 04:53 |
| bazhang | Smallinsect, what are you trying to download | 04:53 |
| bazhang | !ot | writelight | 04:53 |
| ubottu | writelight: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 04:53 |
| Smallinsect | bazhang: no.... i have already downloaded the driver files for the dwa 160 wireless adapter | 04:54 |
| bazhang | Smallinsect, downloaded from where | 04:54 |
| Smallinsect | bazhang: downloaded from ubuntu support forum | 04:54 |
| writelight | Thank You for informing me as I had not made it to your guide lines support sites | 04:54 |
| Smallinsect | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1282783 | 04:54 |
| bazhang | Smallinsect, what is the chipset, give us the link | 04:54 |
| Smallinsect | is an USB wireless adapter dlink DWA-160 | 04:55 |
| bazhang | Smallinsect, thats the model name, but we need the chipset | 04:55 |
| JelloPop | writelight: had u tried ubuntu forum search for 3 monitor support? | 04:56 |
| Smallinsect | bazhang: i dunno, how can I find the chipset model? | 04:56 |
| bazhang | Smallinsect, usb? then lsusb to paste.ubuntu.com | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | crf: As a somewhat odd test / work around can you try "sudo grub-mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/"? | 04:57 |
| writelight | Monitors work excellent under ubuntu its the main distro graphics that don't support the third dvi without the display port | 04:57 |
| bazhang | writelight, please stop with the offtopic chatter here | 04:57 |
| Smallinsect | bazhang: lsusb? | 04:57 |
| bazhang | Smallinsect, write that in terminal | 04:57 |
| writelight | so I had an idea just wasn't sure if there was any other possiblities sorry I'm responding to a reply | 04:57 |
| Smallinsect | bazhang: ok | 04:58 |
| JelloPop | bazhang: not off topic asking for help with monitor support | 04:58 |
| bazhang | JelloPop, just making random commentary is offtopic | 04:58 |
| Areckx | why is it so | 04:59 |
| Areckx | why does it have to be so difficult to connect to the internet in command line? | 05:00 |
| Areckx | it lists as being connected to my ssid but where do I type the | 05:00 |
| Areckx | password? | 05:01 |
| JelloPop | bazhang: wants to know the library or module that supports third monitor in ubuntu? So he can load library and module support in Debian.. | 05:01 |
| L3top | Areckx: It isn't. Wireless, however, is inherently complicated. Try it in dos. | 05:01 |
| Areckx | I am in linux | 05:01 |
| escott | Areckx, because you have to associate the ssid, and then you have to do a wpa_supplicant protocol, and then you have to do your dhcp network setup | 05:01 |
| Smallinsect | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/984839/ | 05:01 |
| Areckx | in command line as root because gnome is dead for some reason | 05:01 |
| bazhang | JelloPop, writelight debian support in #debian | 05:01 |
| L3top | Areckx: It was a bit of a joke. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo | 05:01 |
| Areckx | escott: how so i do that? | 05:02 |
| escott | Areckx, i've never done it. its too hard | 05:02 |
| JelloPop | bazhang: I admit its a hazey area of ubuntu support, but you get these questions in all forums weather it be linuxmint, ubuntu, openbox, conky, arch linux.. | 05:03 |
| albertr | hello | 05:03 |
| DaZ | Areckx: does wicd still count as connect in command line? :f | 05:03 |
| bazhang | JelloPop, not hazy at all ; debian, and all unsupported derivatives are NOT supported here | 05:03 |
| Areckx | and j keep getting an errornthat shows up that says [13359.36202] iwlagn Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000 | 05:04 |

| waxstone | is there a way to revert the keyboard shortcuts automatically BACK to defaults in 12.04? | 05:05 |
| Areckx | it keeps on popping up every lie every few seconds | 05:05 |
| JelloPop | bazhang: I would say that we need to come up with ways to support former users, because if any user of ubuntu perviously were to come here. It would show he still supports ubuntu, but is trying a new avenue of linux.. Anyways that is my opnion | 05:05 |
| escott | Areckx, thats a kernel error. the driver may not be working for that wireless card. what chipset is it? | 05:06 |
| Areckx | L3top: when I do thr it keeps sayibg invalid argument | 05:06 |
| Areckx | escott: dont know | 05:06 |
| JelloPop | bazhang: well I got to run. I know ur responce is going to be the same. No chance of change.. So I will leave ubuntu support channel | 05:06 |

| KM0201 | ah... broken upgrade... ugly | 05:11 |

| L3top | Areckx: you can just put the 1004 dvd in and use the partitioner there for install. | 05:11 |
| KM0201 | Areckx: i'd just clean install 12.04 if it were me. | 05:11 |

| Areckx | I tried using iwconfog but it keeps saying the key is invalid | 05:16 |
| Areckx | why does this have to be so dificult | 05:17 |
| Areckx | it does it really quick in gnome | 05:17 |

| AFschizoid | could someone pm me, complete linux noob | 05:18 |
| L3top | Just ask your question AFschizoid | 05:18 |
| AFschizoid | anyway for me to backup my ubuntu setup since i have it set up to do what i want | 05:19 |
| Joelixny | Hello, I was having a problem with booting due to my Nvidia graphic card. I was told to install Ironhide, I did but since the intel GPU is managing the desktop I can't get full resolution. | 05:19 |
| L3top | I recommend using clonezilla AFschizoid | 05:19 |
| n12 | hi , i want to install .. what partition i choose http://i.imgur.com/3sl8v.png | 05:19 |
| AFschizoid | ok. will that allow me to back up then restore from recovery if something breaks? | 05:19 |
| Smallinsect | i have this problem : i have connected external HD to my notebook with lubuntu to test if it works. 2) connected this HD to my main PC and inserted some files in this external HD... 3) reconnected this external HD in my Notebook with lubuntu... well when i search the files i have inserted few minutes ago... i cant find them, lubuntu cant find this files... ALL files in this HD are present except for this files recently added | 05:20 |
| Maccer | I feel like my Ubuntu 12.04 is missing features. Where can I find the font rendering menu that exists here? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts) | 05:20 |
| L3top | yes AFschizoid. | 05:20 |
| AFschizoid | sweet, thank you very much | 05:20 |
| L3top | Joelixny: Ironhide has been sort of abandoned for the now, you might have better luck with bumblebee. They have completely rewritten the original code in C++ | 05:21 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Joelixny | L3top~ okay, I'll try, but I think that's not the problem, since when I used intel before installing Ironhide the same thing happened | 05:22 |
| Maccer | n12: Is this what happens when you click Install Ubuntu? It looks like you have no free/unallocated space, so you could either install Ubuntu along side with Windows (either by the installer or in Windows), or you could attempt to create more. | 05:22 |
| L3top | Joelixny: the way I deal with it on our project involves setting the BusID in an xorg.conf | 05:22 |
| noobie25 | my wireless stop working (can't getting it working even after restarting computer). I see on the top taskbar, my wireless connection available, but when i click on it ... it shows a progress bar and always fails to connect. | 05:22 |
| Maccer | Generally it's recommended that you go into the windows disk partitioning tool and shrink these partitions yourself | 05:23 |
| Joelixny | What should I set it to, L3top? | 05:23 |
| L3top | Joelixny: But we have no use for the integrated intel, we need compositing etc | 05:23 |
| L3top | Joelixny: it wont be easy to switch back and forth | 05:23 |
| haqe17 | Hello, can someone send me the default /etc/init/lightdm.conf for 11.10, I think ive messed mine up | 05:23 |
| n12 | Maccer: this is from livecd , gparted . | 05:24 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest97870 | ||
| Maccer | n12: Are you aware what's installed on those ntfs partitions? | 05:24 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ What do you mean? I just want to use the Nvidia card, but it has some problems like, not letting me boot 75% of the time, and having a low resolution outside of xorg. | 05:25 |
| n12 | i can not use windows .. something is blocking and says i most enter windows product key. | 05:25 |
| Maccer | Because you could easily install Ubuntu on any partition with enough free space, but I have concerns that you might have something on those partitions. | 05:25 |
| n12 | windows 7 there | 05:25 |
| n12 | which partition i should install ubuntu in | 05:26 |
| n12 | http://i.imgur.com/3sl8v.png | 05:26 |
| L3top | Joelixny: lspci -nn | grep VGA the last 4 digits displayed are the pci id. Unfortunately they need to be converted to base 10... | 05:27 |
| Maccer | What ever partition you wish in, just be aware that it might format everything. If you're not sure, you could click on the orange folder on the left sidebar and see what's inside the partitions. | 05:27 |
| Maccer | ( n12 ) | 05:27 |

| wilee-nilee | Fat-Thing, yes | 05:33 |
| L3top | Joelixny: in the xorg.conf under Section "Device" below Vendor/BoardName enter BusID"PCI:1:0:0" | 05:34 |
| Fat-Thing | wilee-nilee, i need help and i bet it's a serious issue regarding rkhunter scanning | 05:34 |

| wilee-nilee | Fat-Thing, what is up | 05:34 |
| kannudo | hi there | 05:34 |
| Fat-Thing | wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/984867/ check that out i got lots of warnings | 05:35 |
| L3top | Areckx: I think you might need to reinstall your wireless driver. Can't you plug in an ethernet cable to try and get this taken care of? | 05:35 |
| Areckx | iwlagn seems to be messed up | 05:36 |
| Areckx | no I can | 05:36 |
| Areckx | not, I need to commect through wifi | 05:36 |
| L3top | Well you have a bit of a chicken and egg scenario if you need to download a driver. | 05:36 |
| Areckx | it was working fine until I stupidlu tried to upgrade to | 05:36 |
| Areckx | 12.04 | 05:37 |
| princethakur | is there any software for chat in rooms ? | 05:37 |
| oragsy | Hello! What does this command means - < echo -e "\033[31m" > ? | 05:37 |
| L3top | Depending on how that driver was installed to begin with... etc... | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | Fat-Thing, What I can say about rkhunter is that it does give false positives, it will show a warning if a file just changes. The best way to use it I think is to run it on a fresh install and fix any false positives then and when anything comes up look on the web for info. Linux will get rootkits, but it is rather unusual. Can't say definitivly anything about your warnings. | 05:38 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ xorg won't start when I do the command lightdm now | 05:38 |
| Fat-Thing | wilee-nilee, fresh install? so i need to reinstall my distro? | 05:39 |
| wilee-nilee | Fat-Thing, obviously none of the actually named rootkits came up positive or you would have poted that. | 05:39 |
| virpara | i use natty. when i reload package inforamation i get this error " W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net natty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6A9653F936FD5529" | 05:39 |
| wilee-nilee | Fat-Thing, no but this is linux, using a rootkit scanner or virus scaner is different then windows, to be honest you have to know what your doing. | 05:40 |
| L3top | oragsy: \E begins an escape sequence [31m sets the foreground color to red | 05:40 |
| L3top | oragsy: \033 is also an escape | 05:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Fat-Thing, goole those errors and se what comes up. | 05:41 |
| wilee-nilee | 05:41 | |
| L3top | Joelixny: what do you mean? X fails to load? | 05:41 |
| Fat-Thing | wilee-nilee, i got also error upon scanning my network wait i'll paste the link for u to check | 05:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Fat-Thing, I wont really be able to definitively answer any warnings | 05:42 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ I killed lightdm, then ran it again. It took me to the 7th tty, where it showed some text from the boot and it stayed there doing nothing. From the other ttys I tried to kill lightdm again and it says that it's not running. | 05:42 |
| Fat-Thing | wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/984876/ <--- here it is....this is odd | 05:43 |

| L3top | Joelixny: I don't know what all is going on... I generate xorgs based on our specific needs. Those dual gpus are a total pain... there is no "clean" easy solution. | 05:44 |
| wilee-nilee | Fat-Thing, I have never used it to scan a network I would not know what it is supposed to look like. | 05:44 |

| wordToDaBird[Lap | crap* | 05:50 |
| bazhang | !notunity | wordToDaBird[Lap | 05:50 |
| ubottu | wordToDaBird[Lap: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 05:50 |
| DHAWAL__ | when i join my death adder mouse it is not detected in its driver that i installed in wine | 05:50 |
| L3top | See my pm oragsy. That is everything I know about coloring text. | 05:50 |
| bazhang | DHAWAL__, wine does not work with hardware | 05:50 |
| wordToDaBird[Lap | !classic | 05:50 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 05:50 |

| panda81 | why is the 32bit version recommended at the download site | 06:10 |
| Jordan_U | dixoncx: Please post a screenshot of the network-manager window where you configured OpenDNS. | 06:10 |
| Resistance | panda81: because in most consumer systems 64bit isnt extremely useful in comparison to 32bit | 06:10 |
| Jordan_U | !screenshot | dixoncx | 06:10 |
| ubottu | dixoncx: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 06:10 |
| mrguser | Check | 06:11 |
| Resistance | panda81: at consumer-level systems you buy off the shelf, there's not too much difference speed wise between the two. | 06:11 |
| mrguser | Ubuntu 12.04 featured in the newspaper | 06:11 |
| panda81 | Resistance: I thought many people have 4gb+ of ram, thus require 64bit | 06:11 |
| Resistance | panda81: also, not many people know whether their (older) systems are 64bit or 32bit | 06:11 |
| L3top | !pae | panda81 | 06:11 |
| ubottu | panda81: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 06:11 |
| dixoncx | Jordan_U: hold on.. | 06:11 |
| Resistance | panda81: and outside of the pAE kernels, when people dont know whether they have 32bit or 64bit, then 32bit is recommended | 06:12 |
| windbuntu | i can see a big difference actually...this 64 bit is faster | 06:13 |
| KM0201 | the PAE kernel is installed by default on 32bit systems now.. if your processor doesn't support PAE, you need to install from the mini ISO, or install lubuntu or xubuntu. | 06:13 |
| KM0201 | windbuntu: i don't think there's that big of a difference myself. | 06:13 |
| panda81 | Hmm, I'm installing Ubuntu 64bit on an Athlon 64 3000 on ASUS a8n-sli. | 06:14 |
| windbuntu | in fact this p4 running 64 bit 12.04...is more responsive than my i7 that has 32 bit wubi | 06:14 |
| windbuntu | its very snappy | 06:14 |
| KM0201 | windbuntu: comparing wubi to a real install, is not a fair comparison | 06:14 |
| windbuntu | yeah but i had 32 bit on this one before too | 06:14 |
| KM0201 | i dunno, i've used both extensively, and i don't see a bunch of difference, except what is imagined by most people. | 06:15 |
| AFschizoid | i ended up just uninstalling Win7 off this machine since we have a laptop with windows on it if i need to do schoolwork or anything | 06:15 |
| windbuntu | i also read about the testing and 64 just flat out is faster | 06:15 |
| windbuntu | thats why i ended it up reinstalling | 06:16 |
| StarryNight | why using windows at all? | 06:16 |
| AFschizoid | nice AMD Phenom quad-core 3.2GHz processor, 1TB hard drive, 6GB RAM, it's quick as hell, especially when compiling android roms. i hear "2, 2.5 hours" and i get it done in like 45 mins | 06:16 |
| L3top | windbuntu: very little actually uses 64bit. If you "think" you see a ton of improvement, thats fine and all. I am not here to disillusion you, but like KM0201, I use both extensively, and very little makes a difference. I would say less than 10% of applications take advantage of it. | 06:16 |
| panda81 | Even if Ubuntu 64bit can support up to 64gb of ram, I'm still restricted by the maximum ram the a8n-SLI motherboard can support right? | 06:16 |
| windbuntu | i am just hoping it doesnt cost me in some other way | 06:16 |
| AFschizoid | yes panda81 | 06:16 |
| KM0201 | windbuntu: i didn't say it "wasn't" faster.. it is.. but it's not near as dramatic as many claim.. maybe in major number crunching or processor intensive activities.. most people, never even get to using 64bit arch. | 06:16 |
| windbuntu | i noticed it in when i try to pull up packages | 06:17 |
| dixoncx | Jordan_U: here: http://imagebin.org/212209 | 06:17 |
| KM0201 | windbuntu: lol.. | 06:18 |
| L3top | yeah... no. | 06:18 |
| StarryNight | i noticed 64 bit cpus less crash i had more crashes under 32 bit cpus | 06:18 |
| windbuntu | in 32bit for example i was having to wait like 12 secinds to pull up the ubuntu software center | 06:18 |
| L3top | yeah... no. | 06:18 |
| windbuntu | in 64 bit BOOM it comes right up | 06:18 |
| tenX | StarryNight: ... | 06:18 |
| Jordan_U | dixoncx: Can you pastebin the output of "nm-tool"? | 06:18 |
| KM0201 | ok windbuntu ..lol, you're obviously not seeing the forrest because you're blinded by the trees.. | 06:18 |
| windbuntu | well yes i am blinded by the speed yes | 06:19 |
| AFschizoid | does 64 bit make a big difference if i'm working on android developing compared to 32 bit? | 06:19 |
| KM0201 | i think you're blinded by what people have told you you see, rather than what you actually see | 06:19 |
| L3top | No AFschizoid. | 06:19 |
| windbuntu | i timed the 32 bit OS as it tried to pull up the ubuntu software center...i actually timed it? | 06:19 |
| AFschizoid | sonofa... lol it was a major pain getting 64 bit 12.04 set up and compiling right | 06:20 |
| * KM0201 chuckles | 06:20 | |
| L3top | Same release of the same OS with the same applications running in the background windbuntu? | 06:20 |
| KM0201 | windbuntu: your'e right, i admi tit, 13yrs of using Linux, and somehow, ive not figured out that 64bit is so much faster than 32bit... i've been doing somethign dramatically wrong all these years obviously. | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | anyone knows a package to scan negatives to usb (lsusb sees device but nothing recognizes it)? | 06:21 |
| AFschizoid | KM0201 was that chuckle aimed at me? :P | 06:21 |
| dagerik | When I issue notify-send test, nothing happens. How can I get notifications? | 06:21 |
| KM0201 | AFschizoid: negative, windbuntu and his "if i've read something so many times, it has to be true" mentality | 06:22 |
| AFschizoid | lol | 06:22 |
| windbuntu | yes L3top i did a fresh install of 32 bit the day after it was released and after waiting forever to pull up some packages i began reading about n64 bit perfromance. at first i thought it was bunk until i read that 64 bit is just plain faster no maqtter how much ram you have ( i have 4 gigs on this one) so i did a fresh install again using 64 bit and started pulling up my usual stuff. | 06:22 |
| KM0201 | but hey... what do i know..lol | 06:22 |
| bazhang | !ot | 06:22 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 06:22 |
| AFschizoid | hm. anyone able to tell me how to get the ADB running? | 06:22 |
| StarryNight | tenX yes it is more stable in my experience and i used a 64-bit cpu for what 7 years plus now | 06:23 |
| windbuntu | i used to think it had something to do with being able to use more ram but thats not it...its just a lot faster period. | 06:23 |
| bazhang | windbuntu, lets get back on topic | 06:24 |
| tenX | StarryNight: stability isnt a matter of system architecture | 06:25 |
| StarryNight | well i run b4 linux windows under 32 bit would crash often than on a 64 bit system | 06:27 |
| StarryNight | and same with linux | 06:27 |
| bazhang | StarryNight, ubuntu support question? | 06:28 |

| bazhang | lets move the arch speed conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 06:29 |
| totesmuhgoats | StarryNight: i don't, but they have a magicjack now that doesn't need a pc, so if the linux support is poor you might wanna just get that | 06:30 |
| totesmuhgoats | or if the linux support is something silly like a binary only package, it can sometimes be a pain to get those to work | 06:30 |
| StarryNight | yea a person need an internet connection from what i understood | 06:30 |
| === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia | ||
| totesmuhgoats | StarryNight: if you own the magicjack, yes. it uses your internet connection | 06:31 |
| totesmuhgoats | the person you are calling doesn't necessarilly | 06:31 |
| StarryNight | yea doh :) | 06:31 |
| KM0201 | StarryNight: magickjack always requires an internet connection doesnt it? | 06:32 |
| dixoncx | Jordan_U: here: http://pastebin.com/8uCZvuis OpenDND nameservers are there. But it doesn't seems working..:( | 06:32 |

| caesar__ | i was about to clean install ubuntu.. is there a way i can backup my windows install | 07:01 |
| caesar__ | for future restore | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis | you could use 'dd' to image it to some external drive/file. | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | but it may be best to ask in #windows for the best way to backup/restore a windows install. | 07:02 |
| caesar__ | ok will do.. but what is dd | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | caesar_, personally, i always buy a new/second hd. andkeep linux on its own hd. | 07:02 |
| pratz | hey guys please any one ping me , just trying notification for irssi on ubuntu 12.04 | 07:03 |
| caesar__ | i'm on a laptop | 07:03 |
| Dr_willis | In computing, dd is a common Unix program whose primary purpose is the low-level copying and conversion of raw data. According to the manual page for Version 7 Unix,[1] it will "convert and copy a file". It is used to copy a specified number of bytes or blocks, | 07:03 |
| proxinix | dd is a converter caesar_ | 07:03 |
| overrider | osmosis: clean install | 07:03 |
| pratz | guys any one please ping me | 07:03 |
| Dr_willis | My last laptop had 2 hd slots. :) but i always buy a second hard drve for my laptops. remove the windows hd.. put it somewhere safe.. | 07:03 |
| proxinix | dd if=/dev/cdrom of=windowsbackup.iso | 07:03 |
| proxinix | something like that caesar_ | 07:04 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, you mean send a ctcp ping? | 07:04 |
| proxinix | That will make a copy of your windows cd and turn it into an iso but, that's not what you want but you get the idea | 07:04 |
| StarryNight | why keeping windows at all? | 07:05 |
| pratz | Dr_willis: cool this works, just wanted to try the notification for irssi on 12.04 | 07:05 |
| caesar__ | because i have alot of stuff | 07:05 |
| Dr_willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) | 07:05 |
| caesar__ | on here | 07:05 |
| caesar__ | everything is configured just right | 07:05 |
| Dr_willis | depending on how complex your windows partioning and stuff is.. other tools may work better for you then dd. | 07:05 |
| thune3 | Fat-Thing: according to the pulseaudio man page: PulseAudio clients and the server can exchange audio data via POSIX shared memory segments (on systems that support this). | 07:05 |
| jackiechan0 | hello someone that know ruby? | 07:06 |
| Dr_willis | jackiechan0, unless its more ubuntu specific.. theres a ruby channel i imagine. | 07:06 |
| Fat-Thing | thune3, what will i do then? | 07:06 |
| caesar__ | i just want a backup iso created than when installed would even have the items on desktop | 07:06 |
| caesar__ | programs already installed | 07:06 |
| jackiechan0 | Dr_willis> none there thanks for answering | 07:07 |
| proxinix | !iso | caesar_ | 07:07 |
| ubottu | caesar_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:07 |
| caesar__ | everything like it is now | 07:07 |
| Dr_willis | caesar__, you just want to backup your users settings? or Clone the whole windows install? 2 very diffefnt jobs... | 07:07 |
| caesar__ | i want to clone my whole system right now | 07:07 |
| Dr_willis | caesar__, if you have a large enough external Hard drive. you can use 'dd' to clone the windows install to a file on that external hd. | 07:07 |
| thune3 | Fat-Thing: i joined 10min ago and may have missed it, what's the problem? | 07:07 |
| proxinix | !windows | caesar__ | 07:07 |
| ubottu | caesar__: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 07:07 |
| caesar__ | even if it take a few hundred GB | 07:08 |
| AFschizoid | how big is a basic ubuntu install? | 07:08 |
| Dr_willis | caesar__, but using a windows tool for this task may be better. | 07:08 |
| Fat-Thing | /dev/shm/pulse-shm-4206816023 <----- thune3 that thing appears while im running chkrootkit | 07:08 |
| jm | using ddrescue would be better | 07:08 |
| Dr_willis | AFschizoid, from what ive seen . under 4gb. but there can be 1gb+ in cache for the apt-updated and so forth. | 07:08 |
| proxinix | I believe you need two gigs AFschizoid | 07:08 |
| caesar__ | Dr_willis: is the processes called cloning? | 07:08 |
| Dr_willis | caesar__, whats the term commonly used. | 07:09 |
| caesar__ | ok | 07:09 |
| Dr_willis | dd 'clones' in the sence that its an exact identical copy. errors on the original are copied to the copy. ;) if the original HD is 100gb.. the clone image will be 100gb.. even if the original hd is 1/4 the way full. | 07:10 |
| Dr_willis | !backup | 07:10 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up.

| === gabriele is now known as Guest35292 | ||
| Dr_willis | on a 'new' machine i get. i normally boot up a live-cd, plug in a external hd. and 'dd' the whole disk to a image file on the external usb. and keep that usb safe for a 'restore' disk. | 07:11 |
| caesar__ | so i'd be looking at a 220GB copy file | 07:11 |
| Dr_willis | one neat tirck with a 'dd' image. is you can mount the image file and access files on it. if needed. | 07:11 |
| Dr_willis | or even use it as a virtual box disk image. | 07:12 |
| caesar__ | yes | 07:12 |
| caesar__ | lol | 07:12 |
| caesar__ | i need some dd in my life | 07:12 |
| thune3 | Fat-Thing: i think chrootkit reports all shared memory files, you might run sudo lsof | grep pulse, and see if file is opened by pulseaudio server. if so consider it perfectly normal | 07:12 |
| caesar__ | what format will a dd leave you with? | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | just rember with dd - 'DONT make typos' it can destroy your data, if you tell it the wrong thing. | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | dd does not format.. it images the source.. | 07:13 |
| caesar__ | i mean container | 07:13 |
| Dr_willis | its a raw data dump.. | 07:13 |
| caesar__ | err.. extension | 07:13 |
| Dr_willis | extensions dont matter in linux. ;) | 07:13 |
| caesar__ | so how would one get back if need be | 07:14 |
| === Guest35292 is now known as gabriele93 | ||
| Dr_willis | caesar__, via dd. :) the reverse direction. | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | dd if=/file/of/thedisk.image of=/dev/sdX | 07:14 |
| caesar__ | and it will boot like i never installed linux? | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | caesar__, in theory - yes. | 07:14 |
| Fat-Thing | thune3, http://paste.ubuntu.com/984977/ | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | you could dd the image to some other hd to clone the install. | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | You could just do a dual boot. if you want windows that badly.. | 07:15 |
| caesar__ | i was pondering dual boot | 07:15 |
| unknownuser | caesar__ dual booting isnt as scary as it sounds, its really simple to have two operating systems at once. | 07:16 |
| thune3 | Fat-Thing: yeah /dev/shm/pulse-shm-4206816023 is listed as being open by pulseaudio, along with some other /dev/shm files. | 07:17 |
| caesar__ | is dual booting reversable? | 07:18 |
| caesar__ | i guess my ocd just like clean installs | 07:18 |
| pratz | Dr_willis: dude , can you please ping me again ? | 07:18 |

| opentojoin | #join #lubuntu | 08:26 |
| elgaton | Conradzz: Let me search if there are any bugs, I think fglrx is the problem | 08:26 |
| Conradzz | ya its odd, I used the system today for probably 10 hours straight or more with no issues | 08:26 |
| elgaton | cheryl, ZaNeIuM: not a problem | 08:27 |
| L3top | Conradzz: can you please lspci | grep VGA | 08:27 |
| cheryl | wilee-nilee, thanks for your input too :) | 08:27 |
| wilee-nilee | cheryl, no problem, enjoy. :) | 08:27 |
| Conradzz | sure let me boot up into recovery mode, can't get into ubuntu by logging on | 08:27 |
| cheryl | elgaton, It's nice 2 be helped by someone Alessandro who doesn't try 'n make me feel like an idjit! lol | 08:27 |
| Conradzz | it'll hard freeze within a couple seconds | 08:27 |
| rabbi1 | how to add items to favorites in 12.04 from a desktop icon | 08:28 |
| elgaton | Conradzz: maybe your graphic card is unsupported (AMD/ATI removes support for older graphic cards after some years) | 08:28 |
| === Thibaut is now known as Thibaut[away] | ||
| Conradzz | thats the thing elgaton | 08:29 |
| L3top | thats what I am checking elgaton | 08:29 |
| cheryl | Right, is there any s/ware available for Ubuntu that would allow me to access 'n send text msg's from my mobile b/band dongle | 08:29 |
| Conradzz | I'm using a somewhat new netbook | 08:29 |
| Conradzz | its got an APU in it though, its the AMD c-60 | 08:29 |
| L3top | it doesnt even have to be that old there are just certain chipsets, especially in the mobile line, that they simply do not support. | 08:29 |
| L3top | once I get the lspci I can tell you | 08:30 |
| Conradzz | lspci reports: VGA compatible controller: advanced micro devices [amd] nee ati wrestler [Radeon HD 6290] | 08:30 |
| L3top | that should work. | 08:30 |
| Conradzz | ya it was working fine earlier for like 10 hours straight | 08:30 |
| Conradzz | literally didn't change anything lol | 08:30 |
| Conradzz | now I can't even use it | 08:31 |
| Conradzz | its gotta be something graphical though seeing as I can boot recovery and drop into root | 08:31 |
| rabbi1 | how to add desktop icons to favorites dash in 12.04 ? | 08:31 |
| finnbob3334 | hi. want to dualboot windows 7 and ubuntu on my laptop which already has windows 7 installed. doi need to wipe the hdd? the manufacturer put 2 partitions on the laptop and I want to install on the other one. | 08:31 |
| L3top | Conradzz: apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri will help... but... something else is clearly conflicting. | 08:32 |
| L3top | you didnt try and reinstall the radeon driver did you Conradzz | 08:32 |
| Conradzz | yes I did L3top | 08:32 |
| Conradzz | earlier I installed ubuntu fresh | 08:32 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| Conradzz | downloaded fglxr | 08:33 |
| rabbi1 | finnbob3334: !install ubottu | 08:33 |
| Conradzz | that installed fine | 08:33 |
| elgaton | finnbob3334: You generally should not - make sure you created the recovery disks first | 08:33 |
| Conradzz | then tried to install the updated version, which failed | 08:33 |
| Conradzz | so a little later I looked at the additional drivers and noticed it didn't show the original driver as active | 08:33 |
| Conradzz | so I reactivated it | 08:33 |
| L3top | Ok.... the two conflict Conradzz | 08:34 |
| Conradzz | thats the thing though L3top, the updates one failed to install | 08:34 |
| L3top | first thing to do would be apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon | 08:35 |
| Conradzz | I ran a dpkg -l |grep fglxr | 08:35 |
| Conradzz | later on and noticed the updates in there with a RC in front of it | 08:35 |
| rabbi1 | how to add desktop icons to favorites dash in 12.04 ? | 08:36 |
| Conradzz | have you tried dragging it rabbi1? | 08:36 |
| L3top | Conradzz: secondly I would do an update, and then sudo apt-get install --reinstall fglrx | 08:36 |
| Conradzz | Is that possible from the recovery root? | 08:37 |
| L3top | I dont know. I am never in recovery root... I always boot live and chroot. | 08:38 |
| L3top | does recovery root have internet? | 08:39 |
| Conradzz | not sure, had an option to enable networking, but didn't work | 08:39 |
| === unknownuser is now known as Guest6528 | ||
| Conradzz | either way, I'm using wireless, and I doubt it would enable wireless support, probably just ethernet | 08:40 |
| jaka | so... | 08:41 |
| jaka | how do I get some ubuntu help here? what do I have to say? :) | 08:41 |

| Conradzz | whats your problem jaka? | 08:42 |
| jaka | I have some bluetooth problems... | 08:42 |
| L3top | well Conradzz, you can do the following: sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx*; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:42 |
| jaka | I asked on Ubuntu forums and askubuntu.com and got no answers... | 08:43 |
| L3top | Conradzz: do you have an xorg.conf? | 08:43 |
| L3top | Conradzz: if so I would mv it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bu and xrandr should throw fbdev or vesa at you I would expect | 08:43 |
| L3top | then at least you can get to desktop and start over | 08:43 |
| Conradzz | gimme a sec just ran fsck and had a superblock last mount time is in the future. | 08:44 |
| Conradzz | excuse me if I seem a bit noobish, I'm completely new to ubuntu | 08:44 |
| jaka | I can normally pair the device with my laptop, but than I can't "Browse files on device" | 08:44 |
| L3top | No problem Conradzz... I am sorry your first experience has a problem. | 08:45 |
| Conradzz | Well its not technically my first experience | 08:45 |
| Conradzz | I've tried multiple times in the past | 08:45 |
| Conradzz | and always run into problems | 08:45 |
| L3top | I feel the same way about Windows. :P | 08:46 |
| mi3 | jaka, is it a cellphone you are trying to browse? | 08:46 |
| jaka | yes | 08:46 |
| Conradzz | I know windows like the back of my hand, but would like to get into windows | 08:46 |
| Conradzz | linux* | 08:46 |
| finnbob3334 | i have a windows 7 disk and the manufacturer included a disk with drivers and software | 08:46 |
| mi3 | you need to authorise the cellphone, if you are to browse it automatically | 08:46 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: well, what kind of problems do you run into when trying to learn Linux? | 08:47 |
| Conradzz | last time I had tried linux was on a alienware m11x | 08:47 |
| Conradzz | and it didn't play well with the wireless adapter | 08:47 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: .. | 08:47 |
| Conradzz | didn't really play well with the hybrid graphics either | 08:48 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: the hybrid graphics cards can be problematic | 08:48 |
| Conradzz | most the time I have problems with graphics drivers | 08:48 |
| Conradzz | ya it was a pain | 08:48 |
| Conradzz | and having never used linux I was even more handicapped | 08:48 |
| KM0201 | if you go Nvidia, usually they are easy peasy. | 08:48 |
| L3top | yup. | 08:48 |
| KM0201 | also, if you don't plan on doing crazy 3D junk.. don't even worry about it. | 08:48 |
| L3top | Nvidia has traditionally had great linux support... and frankly Intel is awesome of late. | 08:49 |
| KM0201 | Intel is typically easy to get working also (3D, etc.. works out of the box most of the time) | 08:49 |
| Conradzz | well now I'm using an asus aspire one, with an APU | 08:49 |
| Conradzz | which I'm thinking is giving me my problems | 08:49 |
| elgaton | finnbob3334: OK, if that's a regular installation disk, you can go ahead (also, make sure to perform a backup before starting) | 08:49 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: why do you think an APU is causing the issue? | 08:50 |
| Conradzz | ya I don't think I'm going to be able to run anything from the recovery terminal | 08:50 |
| Conradzz | not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 08:50 |
| Conradzz | unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ | 08:50 |
| Conradzz | the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened | 08:50 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: what are you trying to do? | 08:50 |
| L3top | Conradzz: did you say you ran fsck? | 08:50 |
| Conradzz | get rid of this proprietary driver | 08:50 |
| finnbob3334 | if any fo you do know, can i use the existiong windows 7 license that comes on the laptop sticker or should i use the license on the disk? | 08:50 |
| Conradzz | I tried to L3top | 08:50 |
| L3top | Conradzz: you cannot run fsck on a mounted disk. | 08:51 |
| KM0201 | what graphics device is on it connelly ? | 08:51 |
| === yashshah_ is now known as yashshah | ||
| L3top | radeon and fglrx | 08:51 |
| KM0201 | oh ok | 08:51 |
| Conradzz | its not mounted when its run from the recovery mode I believe L3top | 08:51 |
| L3top | Maybe not... like I said... I always run live and chroot... | 08:51 |
| KM0201 | then how does recovery mode run? | 08:51 |
| L3top | yeah | 08:52 |
| Conradzz | no idea, I figured I could boot with failsafeX | 08:52 |
| Conradzz | but that doesn't work either | 08:52 |
| L3top | lol... grub would still have to have a point of origin. | 08:52 |
| L3top | Conradzz: can you boot to a live disk? | 08:52 |
| Conradzz | Server terminated with error | 08:52 |
| Conradzz | when trying to boot from failsafeX | 08:53 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: stop rambling, and listen to L3top | 08:53 |
| Conradzz | no, I have no disk drive | 08:53 |
| Conradzz | sure I can make a bootable usb | 08:53 |
| Conradzz | or I just boot into windows, and reinstall ubuntu...it'd probably be faster to do that | 08:54 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: did you install wubi? | 08:54 |
| shazzr | Right. Partitioned my RevoDrive into 1 300 mb FAT32 (for UEFI), 1 1 mb unformatted (for BIOS?), 1 15 GB ext4 for /, 1 99 GB ext4 for /home and 1 1 gb SWAP. Installation of alternate-amd64 goes without issues, but after reboot I am not able to boot. I definitely do need help with this one.... my mainboard is a Asus P8P67 DELUXE. I installed the bootloader into the 300 mb partition. | 08:54 |
| Conradzz | yup | 08:54 |
| * KM0201 chuckles | 08:55 | |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: why? | 08:55 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: Grub's boot sector should always go in the MBR. | 08:55 |
| Conradzz | because its always such a pain to create bootable usb drives | 08:55 |
| Conradzz | so it was easier to install from windows | 08:55 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: you say you always have problems w/ Linux, yet you seem to insist on making things difficult... making a bootable USB literally takes about 2min if you already have the ISO downloaded.. the instructions are right on ubuntu's website | 08:56 |
| L3top | shouldnt be a pain really... just use unetbootin | 08:56 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: I think I use GPT...I wish I used MBR. | 08:56 |
| AnAnt | Hello, unity-greeter in 12.04 doesn't show the "Login" button which allows a user to enter his username | 08:56 |
| hash | so ive been told adding back track tools to ubuntu is a bad idea but with no explanation any reasons | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: The MBR is the first sector of a disk, all disks have a first sector. | 08:57 |
| Conradzz | Every usb drive isn't made equal | 08:57 |
| KM0201 | oh geez Conradzz quit trolling | 08:57 |
| Conradzz | in the past I have made bootable live usb drives, and it was a pain | 08:57 |
| Conradzz | how am I trolling? | 08:57 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: in the past, you didn't know what you were doing, clearly. | 08:57 |
| Conradzz | well ya...thats the point I had never messed with linux | 08:57 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: the 300 mb partition is the first partition on the disk... | 08:57 |
| L3top | Conradzz: from windows either the hp utility or unetbootin should be painless. | 08:57 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: Which is not the MBR. | 08:58 |
| KM0201 | or you can use the USB creator tool that is linked right on Ubuntu's site when you click "how to create a bootable USB" | 08:58 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: uhm...I don't understand. What would be the MBR? | 08:58 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: The device for grub's boot sector should be somthing like "/dev/sda" *not* something like "/dev/sda1". | 08:58 |
| Conradzz | I have to install plop boot loader also | 08:58 |
| * L3top hasn't worked from windows in a long time... assumed one of those two would be on it... | 08:58 | |
| Conradzz | the bios doesn't take nicely to booting from usb | 08:59 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: plop?.. what on earth do you need plop for? | 08:59 |
| Conradzz | to boot from usb... | 08:59 |
| hash | i had issues trying to do a dual boot install | 08:59 |
| KM0201 | lol.. i'm just gonna bow out, it's getting so deep in here, and i don't want to put on my life preserver | 08:59 |
| L3top | on an aspire one? | 08:59 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: I know "normal" disks have a sdx-name. My revo drive does not. I get an option when partitioning manually during install to install the bootloader into /dev/mapper ...should I do that? | 08:59 |
| Conradzz | yes its odd L3top I thought the same | 08:59 |
| Conradzz | KM0201 can think what he wants, but the fact is not everything is as simple as it should be | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: What is the exact device name? | 09:00 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: i've booted countless distros from USB on my AAO | 09:00 |
| L3top | you cant just hit f12 at post and select usb drive? | 09:00 |
| Conradzz | nope, it would always try to boot my usb's as floppys | 09:00 |
| * L3top 2 and both do that without even having to change the bios | 09:00 | |
| hash | what kind of computer | 09:01 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: it's a long one....can't remember. Something like /dev/mapper/xxxx-xx_xxx-12334567890 | 09:01 |
| Conradzz | AAO 722 | 09:01 |
| L3top | Conradzz: I think that would have something to do with how you are creating the usb drive... look at the ubuntu page on creating a bootable usb | 09:01 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: Also, it sounds like you're using FakeRAID, which you should avoid. | 09:01 |
| * KM0201 agrees with L3top | 09:02 | |
| shazzr | I know my RevoDrive uses RAID0. But I think it have to. How can I avoid using FakeRAID? | 09:02 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: I know my RevoDrive uses RAID0. But I think it have to. How can I avoid using FakeRAID? | 09:02 |
| Conradzz | I've always used the window scommand line program | 09:03 |
| Conradzz | can't remember the name of it now | 09:03 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: I know my RevoDrive uses RAID0. But I think it have to. How can I avoid using FakeRAID? | 09:03 |
| L3top | !usb | Conradzz | 09:03 |
| ubottu | Conradzz: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:03 |
| Jordan_U | L3top: KM0201: Nope, what Conradzz is refferring to is a common piece of braindamage often called "SuperFloppy" in buggy BIOSs. | 09:03 |
| hash | so no optical drive | 09:03 |
| Conradzz | see jordan knows what I'm talking about | 09:03 |
| KM0201 | Jordan_U: dunno, i still think his problem is pebkac, based on his other comments. | 09:04 |
| Conradzz | but for giggles I'll go ahead and do it how the ubuntu site says and we'll see if it boots without plop | 09:04 |
| xskydevilx | I can't seem to get my Motorola gsm w3766 working with Oneiric. Any ideas? | 09:04 |
| KM0201 | i'm sure it wont | 09:04 |
| hash | conradzz are u installing or running a live cd | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: Disable "RAID" in your BIOS. It's not real hardware RAID (everything is done in software using the CPU), and using standard Linux mdraid will use less CPU, is better supported, and is faster. | 09:05 |
| Conradzz | and why are you sure of that KM0201? If anything I'd say your the one trolling me | 09:05 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: Just found this one. It is pretty much my problem... http://pileborg.org/b2e/blog5.php/2011/05/02/install-ununtu-11-04-on-an-ocz-revodrive-120g-ssd-with-raid0 | 09:05 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: years of experience.. :) | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: Ubuntu's installer doesn't handle FakeRAID properly, but you don't want to be using FakeRAID anyway. | 09:06 |
| Conradzz | and that has to do with what? You recommended I use the ubuntu guide, I'm going to | 09:06 |
| L3top | We are just trying to get you operational Conradzz, and you seem to want to argue rather than take the advice we are giving. Not bashing you, just saying. | 09:06 |
| KM0201 | Conradzz: i know, and my experience tells me your results will be negative | 09:06 |
| Conradzz | if its that simple I'll thank you | 09:07 |
| Conradzz | I appreciate all your help L3top, and I'm doing what you are asking, I'm making the bootable usb | 09:07 |
| L3top | :) | 09:07 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: So if I disable RAID in the UEFI/BIOS...do I need to reinstall everything, or should it boot? | 09:08 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: You'd need to re-install everything. | 09:09 |
| turkishhuman | sa | 09:10 |
| Conradzz | hmm...do you think the windows installer keeps a copy of the iso it uses to install ubuntu kind of like a temporary files thing? | 09:10 |
| turkishhuman | hello! | 09:10 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: And if you want to use Linux mdraid then you'll need to use the alternate, text based, installer. | 09:10 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: yeap, dragging doesn't move there, only icons from app moves | 09:11 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: I don't know if I want the mdraid. I just want it to boot. Desperately! | 09:11 |
| Conradzz | an sorry rabbi1 was a shot in the dark | 09:11 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: that's ok, tried before askin :) | 09:12 |
| turkishhuman | turkish? | 09:12 |
| Jordan_U | !tr | turkishhuman | 09:12 |
| ubottu | turkishhuman: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. | 09:12 |
| rabbi1 | also, can't find the shutdown button on the user menu as well | 09:12 |
| Conradzz | I know theres a shutdown option if you click the power button on the top right | 09:13 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: Found my device name; /dev/mapper/sil_bgbhdedfcaaf | 09:14 |
| Conradzz | damn, it doesn't download a copy of the iso, guess I'll have to wait the hour it takes to download | 09:14 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: That would be the correct place to install grub, if you wanted to actually use FakeRAID. | 09:15 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: Well...since I can not get it to work, I suppose I don't want to use FakeRAID. | 09:16 |
| hash | its taking that long | 09:16 |
| Conradzz | I'm not running above 150kb | 09:17 |

| caesar_ | I didn't | 09:25 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: It's hard to tell from their descriptions, but it's sounds like this is FakeRAID via option ROM, which is just plain ugly as among other things it means that there probably isn't a BIOS menu available to disable it. | 09:25 |
| Conradzz | ya I think you did caesar | 09:25 |
| Conradzz | it sounds like you installed it as a dual boot | 09:25 |

| shazzr | Jordan_U: So in a few short steps...how would I go about installing, partitioning and booting? | 09:29 |
| USER | look on youtube | 09:29 |
| caesar_ | Well now I can't boot into anything | 09:29 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: ooops, why all this changes ? and what about restart ? | 09:29 |
| === USER is now known as senatormagenut | ||
| kannudo | is there anyone here who knows much about shell scripts? | 09:30 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | kannudo | 09:30 |
| ubottu | kannudo: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 09:30 |
| Conradzz | once you click shutdown rabbi1 it'll let you choose between shutdown and restart | 09:30 |
| Conradzz | not really sure rabbi1, I just googled the answers :P | 09:30 |
| Blackshirt | Kannudo, exactly what you need? | 09:30 |
| rabbi1 | caesar_: my system too failed to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 ,.... . did from scratch | 09:30 |
| Conradzz | me personally, I'm using unity so I have an option at the top right | 09:30 |
| senatormagenut | why can ubuntu server not detect any wireless networks during install? | 09:31 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: ok, 12.04/ g3 is driving me crazy .... :) having fun thanks a lot | 09:31 |
| Conradzz | I hear you, still gotta work out the kinks in my 12.04 | 09:31 |
| hash | ceasar get ur windows disk and when in post go to ur boot options | 09:31 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: Found this tutorial now...does it look like you would expect it to work? http://pileborg.org/b2e/blog5.php/2011/05/02/install-ununtu-11-04-on | 09:31 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: You might be stuck with FakeRAID :( Unfortunately I need to go now, I might be able to help you work this out another day though. | 09:31 |
| alfredo | I've some problem in running SFTP server on my ubuntu machine...is there anyone to help me out... | 09:32 |
| antnash | Hey guys. How do I check what ram spec I have from terminal? | 09:32 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: either way, developers are trying hard to make OS smart or users dumb ..... lol | 09:32 |
| hash | ceasar select the dvd and recovery options | 09:32 |
| Conradzz | well I believe they're opting to use unity instead of gnome 3 now | 09:32 |
| senatormagenut | hello, can anyone tell me how to connect to the web on ubuntu server | 09:32 |
| Conradzz | I don't really have a problem with unity so far, it's a bit slow but I'm on a netbook so | 09:33 |
| caesar_ | I get an error.when trying to load install disc... Boot manager | 09:33 |
| Blackshirt | Senatormagenut,what you mean?you can use web server | 09:33 |
| shazzr | Jordan_U: Crap. :( Thanks anyway! :) | 09:33 |
| alfredo | how to install , configure, and run SFTP server on Ubuntu Machine for a office LAN | 09:33 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: yeah, i had no problems, but still finding a way to install nvidia before i start using unity 3d and tryout. until then g3 is bit comfortable | 09:34 |
| hash | dvd | 09:34 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: If you ignore the parts about creating a device.map and editing the /boot/grub/grub.cfg then yes, that guide looks fine. | 09:34 |
| Blackshirt | Antnash, you can use free command | 09:34 |
| Conradzz | what error are you getting caesar? | 09:34 |
| antnash | Blackshirt: free command? | 09:34 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: Just skip those steps as they're not needed. | 09:34 |
| Conradzz | when I first installed 12.04 it seemed quite a bit laggy on the oss drivers | 09:35 |
| Conradzz | so I installed the proprietary ones and managed to f that up | 09:35 |
| senatormagenut | blackshirt - i am trying to dual boot xp and server so i can host websites while i am not using my pc. it searches for wireless networks in tutorial but can find any. then i wired it to my mobile internet router and continued installing putting all the ip addresses as 192.168.1.1 now it wont install any packages | 09:35 |
| Blackshirt | Antnash' free -m | 09:35 |
| Blackshirt | Is that you mean? | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | shazzr: The /etc/fstab should already be using UUIDs also, so you can skip that. (If the fstab doesn't already use UUIDs in your case then you should file a bug report about it). | 09:36 |
| senatormagenut | yes | 09:36 |
| antnash | Blackshirt: does that get me my memory type? | 09:36 |
| Blackshirt | Antnash, no,it reports your memory usage | 09:37 |
| Conradzz | Oh ya, something I found weird, how easy it was to get back onto ubuntu after I forgot my password | 09:37 |
| senatormagenut | antash, you could open up your pc and have a look at the memory. | 09:37 |
| Conradzz | it literally required me to boot into recovery and let me change my password, doesn't seem all that safe... | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | Conradzz: If your home directory is not encrypted, very easy. | 09:38 |
| Conradzz | hmm if I encrypt the home directory it wouldn't let me change the password? | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | Conradzz: It would let you change your password, but then you wouldn't be able to log in as that user since the home directory wouldn't be able to by decrypted. | 09:39 |
| Conradzz | ah, does it use your previous password as the encryption key? | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | Conradzz: It uses your password as the encryption key, and you can change your password at any time *but* to change the password you need to decrypt the key, and you need to know the "old" password to do that. | 09:41 |
| Conradzz | ahhh | 09:41 |
| Conradzz | damn... | 09:42 |
| Conradzz | I could have ran those commands L3top | 09:42 |
| kannudo | well then... i hope this is more along the lines of proper aking for help etiquette... | 09:42 |
| kannudo | i'm taking a linux course in school and we have come to shell scripting... my instructor walked us through creating a script and | 09:42 |
| kannudo | then run it with the command ./recent.sh ls ~/Documents | 09:42 |
| kannudo | here is the script: | 09:42 |
| Conradzz | I'm stupid...dropping into root only mounts the filesystem in read only, I could have changed it to write | 09:42 |
| kannudo | command_to_run=$1 #First variable in command | 09:42 |
| kannudo | directory_to_run=$2 #Second variable in command | 09:42 |
| kannudo | output_file=recent.sh-script_output.txt | 09:42 |
| kannudo | echo $command_to_run | 09:43 |
| kannudo | echo $directory_to_run | 09:43 |
| FloodBot1 | kannudo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:43 |
| kannudo | $command_to_run -lhS $directory_to_run > $output_file | 09:43 |
| Conradzz | and then ran those commands and uninstalled the drivers | 09:43 |
| Conradzz | oh well, best way to learn is to break things and then have to fix them | 09:44 |
| Jordan_U | Conradzz: If an attacker has physical access to your computer then you need to consider your computer compromised. That means that if you really want to be serious about security you need to encrypt private data *and* not use the computer after it's been in any not-physically-secured situation. For all you know someone has put wireless keylogger hardware inside your keyboard, and there's nothing that any software can do at that point to keep them from ... | 09:44 |
| Jordan_U | ... stealing your passwords or doing anything else. | 09:44 |

| sirriffsalot | What's the ls command for listing something containing specific text? Such as ".wav"? | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | sirriffsalot: echo *.wav | 09:49 |
| alfredo | Anyone having experience in installing, cofiguring, running SFTP-SERVER on Ubuntu..., Pls share it..,i'couldn't find any help... | 09:49 |
| Conradzz | jordan how long you been using linux? | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | sirriffsalot: The '*.wav' pattern is not something interpreted by ls, it's interpreted by the shell. #bash can explain more about these patterns (called "globs"). | 09:50 |
| sirriffsalot | Jordan_U: sure, but is there not some way of doing this for "ls" as well? | 09:50 |

| L3top | sirriffsalot: are you trying to find text inside of files? | 09:50 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: hard freeze | 09:51 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: no, simply files containing certain texts within a directory | 09:51 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: via the command line:P | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | Conradzz: About 7 years I think. | 09:51 |
| L3top | ls /path/*.wav | 09:51 |
| Conradzz | that was my issue also rabbi1, the culprit was most likely the proprietary drivers I installed | 09:51 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: will that give me a list of all files with ".wav" in them? | 09:51 |
| L3top | that end with .wav sirriffsalot | 09:51 |
| chmod777 | hello | 09:52 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: infact i am trying to get my nvidia from day 1, may be that? | 09:52 |
| Conradzz | what drivers did you install rabbi1? | 09:52 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: I'm looking for files with those labels on them, not directories:D | 09:52 |
| llutz | sirriffsalot: find path/ -type f -iname '*.wav' | 09:53 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: if you are looking for files that end with .wav, that is how you do it. | 09:53 |
| L3top | or that | 09:53 |
| sirriffsalot | Are there no shorter ways? Haha, I swear to remember seeing someone doing "ls *.wav" or something like it | 09:53 |
| alfredo | Blackshirt: i tried using OpenSSh but I don't find any clue...port scan or ps .... but no evidence of SFTP-server | 09:54 |
| sirriffsalot | llutz: All I get from that is find: `path/': No such file or directory | 09:54 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: tried to install from the normal Hardware - Additional Drivers from the system settings, but it hanged twice during installation, although it was not complete, not even now. but now i have removed it, but still OS freezes | 09:54 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: I told you... ls /path/*.wav | 09:54 |
| llutz | trolling-sunday...? | 09:54 |
| Conradzz | you've completely purged it rabbi1? | 09:54 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: ls: cannot access /path/*.wav: No such file or directory | 09:54 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: and i really can't predict, as its a fresh install and doing lot of installations and stuffs | 09:55 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: you replace /path/ with the path of the directory you want to list | 09:55 |
| rabbi1 | Conradzz: just purged it on instructions from here : http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04-lts-aka-precise-pangolin/ | 09:55 |

| Conradzz | well sirri it sounds like you have no .wav files in that directory then | 09:57 |
| Jordan_U | fahmyboy: That sounds like a question for ##windows. | 09:58 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: "sirriffsalot@aspire:~$ ls /home/sirriffsalot/Music/*.wav" for example | 09:58 |
| fahmyboy | is that an irc room? | 09:58 |
| Jordan_U | fahmyboy: Yes. | 09:58 |

| L3top | It is not recursive sirriffsalot | 10:01 |
| sirriffsalot | Hmm ok | 10:02 |
| rabbi1 | L3top: ok, what shall i do now ? | 10:02 |
| MisterE | hello | 10:02 |
| Conradzz | try ls -a *.wav | 10:02 |
| MisterE | dax told me to apply for ops here | 10:02 |

| MisterE | I run backtrack, does that count? | 10:03 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: whoooa | 10:03 |
| L3top | ls -a will just show hidden files/folders etc | 10:03 |
| llutz | !backtrack | MisterE it does count, its not supported here at all | 10:03 |
| ubottu | MisterE it does count, its not supported here at all: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

| sirriffsalot | L3top: surprisingly few .wav files there, cheers mate!=) | 10:04 |
| MisterE | helpful bot | 10:04 |
| Conradzz | ah l3top I thought you could throw a *.wav in with it | 10:04 |
| alfredo | ubottu: i've my ubuntu 10.10...and i want to create my projetc on SFTP Server- CLient implementation in lang Python....but to test my client i need a SFTP server.....i learnt from my googling that....openssh in ubuntu provides SFTP-SERVER...but i' m not able to use it....i can't find whether it is running or not....i first...start ssh....checked the sshd_config for subsystem....and then ./usr/lib/OpenSSH/sftp-server......on client side when connecting usin | 10:05 |

| L3top | sorry rabbi1... you purged the nvidia-current driver, and reinstalled it, and it still locks randomly? | 10:07 |
| alfredo | pls any other Ubuntu - GEEK , Ubuntu- Techy who can help me out of the problem(refer to 10 lines above) | 10:07 |

| Aress | http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=25672 | 10:07 |
| Conradzz | He's gone L3top | 10:07 |
| Conradzz | It's kinda funny people always use "no viruses" as a selling point | 10:08 |
| Conradzz | I don't get viruses on my windows machine | 10:09 |
| Jordan_U | Conradzz: L3top: You both seem to be missing the fact that it's bash, not ls, which interprets globs. If you want a glob which matches hidden files as well you can use 'echo .*.wav *.wav' or 'shopt -s dotglob; echo *.wav'. | 10:09 |
| L3top | echo? | 10:09 |
| L3top | I did not understand your initial use of that. | 10:11 |
| L3top | that will just echo the literal string *.wav | 10:11 |
| L3top | having nothing to do with globbing | 10:11 |
| llutz | L3top: not if you have .wav files in pwd | 10:11 |
| Conradzz | he wanted to find all .wav files | 10:11 |
| L3top | ah | 10:12 |
| L3top | I was completely unaware of that. | 10:12 |
| alex_425 | xxx | 10:12 |
| alfredo | Can anyone enlist procedure to install and start SFTP-SERVER on ubuntu 10.10 | 10:12 |
| drdo | What's the "extras" repository? | 10:12 |
| iceroot | !eol | alfredo | 10:13 |
| ubottu | alfredo: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 10:13 |
| L3top | and wouldnt you want to do something like echo .[^.]*.wav? | 10:13 |
| llutz | alfredo: besides the EOL: sudo apt-get install openssh-server && sudo service ssh start | 10:13 |
| iceroot | alfredo: the repos are down for your version, you have to use the archive mirrors and install openssh-server | 10:13 |
| Jordan_U | L3top: Again, it's not the command which interprets globs, it's the shell. That's why echo, which simply prints its arguments and knows nothing about files or globs, still works for this (and why I used it in my example). | 10:13 |
| alfredo | links needed...and after that how can i run SFTP -Server and check it | 10:14 |
| llutz | alfredo: sftp is a ssh-subsystem, not an own service | 10:14 |
| llutz | "subsystem of ssh" | 10:14 |
| llutz | alfredo: config options to be found in "man sshd_config" | 10:15 |
| Conradzz | bah still got a half hour, I'm going to bed, later | 10:15 |
| alfredo | llutz: but anyhow.... can you tell how to go for sftp....my clients are giving ERROR: conn reset by peer | 10:15 |
| Conradzz | thanks for the help guys | 10:16 |
| llutz | alfredo: check logs | 10:16 |

| L3top | Jordan_U: ^ | 10:16 |
| alfredo | are there some links or forum cahnnels specific to sftp on ubuntu... | 10:16 |

| llutz | L3top: because its not echo, it's the shell interpreting the * | 10:17 |
| llutz | L3top: "before" echo works | 10:17 |
| Jordan_U | L3top: Then you don't actually understand what I'm saying :) (though that's likely because I'm not explaining it well). | 10:17 |
| Jordan_U | L3top: Open a test shell and run "set -x" That will print each command which is executed, as it is executed, then run "echo *". | 10:18 |

| alfredo | llutz thanks again... | 10:23 |
| llutz | alfredo:but still: if you already have openssh-server installed and running and keep getting that error on connect, you should increase verbosity by setting "LogLevel DEBUG1" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and try again to find information in the logs | 10:24 |
| macram | hi | 10:25 |
| macram | how was called the "cccleaner" like software in ubuntu? | 10:25 |
| alfredo | oh yes llutz.... can you tell me ...as others told me that my ubunut 10.10 doesn't support...is it the problem | 10:26 |
| llutz | alfredo: your 10.10 being EOL has nothing to do with that error. you still should consider upgrading | 10:26 |

| ghost_ | can anyone help me with setting a static ip on ubuntu server | 10:41 |
| ghost_ | my resolv.conf file keeps over writing on reboot | 10:41 |
| ghost_ | and my connection stops working | 10:41 |
| llutz | !resolvconf | ghost_ | 10:42 |
| ubottu | ghost_: resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ | 10:42 |

| kaddi | hi, is it a good idea to upgrade to 12.04 or are there a lot of issues and it's better to wait some weeks? | 10:50 |
| MonkeyDust | ghost_ make sure nm-applet doesnt load on boot (nm = network manager) | 10:50 |
| caracal_ | kaddi, I've just upgraded, it works nice | 10:50 |
| ghost_ | MonkeyDusk do i have to worry about that if its the server version of ubuntu? | 10:50 |
| kaddi | cause the release notes no longer list the known issues | 10:51 |
| MonkeyDust | ghost_ also: modify /etc/network/interfaces | 10:51 |
| Debolaz | kaddi: No particular issues for me. 12.04 has focused a lot on fixing bugs and improving usability rather than adding new features, so it's not entirely unexpected. | 10:51 |
| kaddi | ok, well here goes nutttin.. if I go offline something has gone terribly terribly wrong | 10:52 |

| kaddi | and I will come back and threaten to switch to windows unless you fix it instantly! j/k | 10:52 |
| ghost_ | MonkeyDust: my /etc/network/interfaces file is edited fine, i have to add the nameserver x.x.x.x line to resolv.conf | 10:52 |
| ghost_ | MonkeyDust: and everything works just fine, until a reboot | 10:52 |
| MonkeyDust | ghost_ restart the network daemon before you reboot | 10:53 |
| ghost_ | MonkeyDust: with sudo /etc/init.d/network/interfaces restart right? | 10:53 |
| MonkeyDust | ghost_ yes, or with service, though i still use /etc/init.d/ myself | 10:54 |
| shazzr | MonkeyDust: Good info, but sadly it won't help me boot my computer. The funny thing is that I had it running fine with an earlier version of Ubuntu. | 10:54 |
| ghost_ | MonkeyDust: if so, im doing that, in the past i have had to use the chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf command to fix this | 10:55 |
| ghost_ | but its not working this time, that line sends an error | 10:55 |
| llutz | ghost_: read the link ubottu provided you earlier. you can add " dns-nameservers x.x.x.x" to /etc/network/interfaces too | 10:56 |
| ghost_ | llutz: i did but didnt quite understand that part untill now xD ty i will try that | 10:59 |
| kaddi | i should prolly have switched to a quicker server for the downloads though >.> | 10:59 |
| kaddi | at this rate it's gonna be a while | 10:59 |
| llutz | ghost_: "nameserver x.x.x.x" in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and running "sudo resolvconf -u" would also do | 10:59 |

| eutheria | MonkeyDust, i must have set something, all the articles have gone, if i run it in debug mode i can see it requests them, but when i display them the debug messages say 0 articles, i've delete the config from ~/.liferea and .gconf, i ran it as a different user and it works fine | 12:13 |
| Stanley00 | danmar: did you look at additional driver? | 12:13 |
| amine | pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff | 12:13 |
| eutheria | there must be something somewhere i can delete to reset liferea | 12:14 |
| danmar | how do I do that? | 12:14 |
| Rhonda | danmar: What exactly do you mean with "doesn't work". | 12:14 |
| MonkeyDust | eutheria disappeared or just hidden after you read them? | 12:14 |
| rokr1 | Hi danmar | 12:14 |
| Stanley00 | danmar: It is in System Setting... | 12:14 |
| danmar | well.. the ifconfig doesn't report that I have a wireless network card | 12:14 |
| rokr1 | danmar : try checking lspci and check the make of wireless | 12:15 |
| eutheria | MonkeyDust, so you click on a freed the top panel with the date and headline is missing any content, i know there is content as it is slashdot :) | 12:15 |
| amine | join «ubuntu.fr | 12:15 |
| danmar | lspci => 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8723 | 12:15 |
| eutheria | it must be a local config setting i have messed up with my tweaking as it works fine for another user | 12:15 |
| Rhonda | Then the driver seems to be missing. Output of lspci and dmesg might be helpful to further look for the cause. | 12:15 |
| rokr1 | danmar: then go to the vendor website and download the drivers and compile them | 12:15 |
| MonkeyDust | eutheria quite drastic: delete some hidden .config file | 12:16 |
| rokr1 | danmar: it will create a driver module in the system | 12:16 |
| eutheria | MonkeyDust, i deleted the stuff under .gconf and .liferea but that didn't fix anything :( | 12:16 |
| rokr1 | danmar: check with lsmod and find if the drivers are actually loaded | 12:16 |
| danmar | Stanley00: I did not see additional drivers for the network | 12:17 |
| rokr1 | danmar : there is an option through gui, go to settings and check additional hardware | 12:17 |

| ubottu | thresh: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

| eutheria | MonkeyDust, hi, so the main config that controls the app is under .gconf, however this is read once a log in, so clearing out your config from there does nothing until you log out, so problem fixed now, i didn't need to delete my .liferea as that is only the db for the feeds which were working fine :) | 12:36 |

| eutheria | MonkeyDust, if you look at ~/.gconf/apps/<app name here> you will find liferea there is you config for the app in general, not the feeds db which holds the feeds data, i assume the guy wrote used sqlite or something | 12:38 |

| Jazanyc | yeah, your right. I guess i'm not one of the ones it finds friendly. Have had many issues and that is why I have not completely transition from windows | 14:05 |
| krababbel | Jazanyc: if paplay can play it back, then you know it should work according to pulseaudio | 14:05 |

| krababbel | if it works, you can at least even change the resampler method, windows drivers usually don't let you go that far :) | 14:07 |
| Jazanyc | krababel: I use VLC to play movies and it has sound, it just does not have multi channel in passthrough. | 14:07 |
| krababbel | Jazanyc: well paplay would rule out any bugs in playback programs, better go step by step to save you time | 14:07 |
| Jazanyc | it does not recognize Ac-3 or DTS | 14:08 |
| Jazanyc | what is paplay? | 14:08 |
| krababbel | paplay in terminal is a small player | 14:08 |
| krababbel | made by the pulse team, it should support all pulse can do. | 14:09 |
| Jazanyc | so i should be able to install it? | 14:09 |
| krababbel | Jazanyc: you have it, it comes with pulse, best used for testing like this | 14:09 |

| krababbel | Jazanyc: well revert that and reboot, pulse isn't the problem probably and ubuntu is meant to use pulse | 14:14 |
| Jazanyc | Krababbel: I use this command sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove | 14:15 |
| Jazanyc | how do is revert? | 14:15 |
| krababbel | sorry, I don't know | 14:16 |

| zykotic10 | Jazanyc: sorry i don't know then. (side not: update-rc.d is outdated in ubuntu, i doubt it should be used). Perhaps your original command didn't do anything? i'd restart, and verify pulse is ok - before worrying about it then. | 14:21 |

| salsa | yeah | 14:29 |
| furycd001 | hi does anyone here know how i can switch the logon manager in ubuntu 11.10 :? | 14:29 |
| gaelfx | salsa: you're trying to install from USB or CDrom? | 14:29 |
| zykotic10 | gaelfx: just making sure the typo was in irc and not terminal ;) | 14:29 |
| salsa | USB | 14:30 |
| Sidewinder | salsa, I've nerer heard of "grob-install", nor do I have a cleu about "drummy failed", sorry.. Did you md5sum the ISO prior to burning to CD or copying to USB? | 14:30 |
| gaelfx | salsa: when you entered the boot selector, there were probably two options for the USB, one is "usbname" and the other was "UEFI:usbname". You need to choose the first | 14:30 |
| zykotic10 | warning gaelfx: salsa chrooting and installing grub from USB MIGHT be an issue with sda being usb and not HD! | 14:31 |
| llutz | furycd001: switch to what? | 14:31 |
| salsa | gaelfx, ok... let me try it | 14:31 |
| furycd001 | llutz: gdm instead of lightdm :? | 14:31 |
| gaelfx | whoa, I should've looked at more of that conversation | 14:31 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I'm back | 14:31 |
| llutz | furycd001: sudo apt-get install gdm | 14:31 |
| llutz | furycd001: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm if it is already installed | 14:32 |
| escott | Kenshizl, assuming it is the intel_drm line that is repeating there are a few kernel boot options you could try https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/765813 you could also modify /etc/rsyslog.d or /etc/logrotate.d | 14:32 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 765813 in linux (Ubuntu) "[drm:intel_prepare_page_flip] *ERROR* Prepared flip multiple times every frame with intel graphics" [High,Confirmed] | 14:32 |
| furycd001 | lluts i already have both lightdm & gdm installed already, how do i switch between them :? | 14:32 |
| gaelfx | zykotic10: good point, but I had the same problem when I was installing, it turns out I was an idiot about choosing the right thing to boot from | 14:32 |
| Kenshizl | escott how do I do those other things (i'll check out the link right now) | 14:33 |
| furycd001 | llutz: i have already tried using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" but the logon screen still looks the same :? | 14:33 |
| gaelfx | salsa: also, you want to make sure that the bootloader is installed on your hard drive, and not on the USB | 14:33 |
| === ludkiller|AFK is now known as ludkiller | ||
| llutz | furycd001: did you chose it as default dm? sudo service lightdm stop && sudo service gdm start | 14:34 |

| DropsOfSerenity | does anyone know a way to restart unity if the window decorations crash, alt-f2 won't work, just need to type unity --replace somewhere. | 14:34 |
| salsa | but im trying to install again like u say :) | 14:35 |
| furycd001 | llutz: nope but ill go thry that now ;-)) | 14:35 |
| gaelfx | salsa: shouldn't be a problem, as long as you're using the 64-bit version | 14:35 |
| salsa | yeah | 14:35 |
| gaelfx | salsa: or the 32-bit PAE kernel | 14:35 |
| salsa | im use 64 bit.... :) | 14:36 |
| salsa | what is 23 bit PAE kernel? | 14:36 |
| escott | Kenshizl, so logrotate doesn't stop the creation of the logfile, but it controls how frequently they are replaced with new ones. since you have repeated lines yours will compress really well so if you modify /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog you can set the frequency of the rotations of kern.log and syslog to hourly, and enable compression. | 14:36 |
| furycd001 | llutz I just ran that command but got the following in return... stop: Unknown instance: | 14:36 |
| gaelfx | DropsOfSerenity: how about ctl+alt+f2? | 14:36 |
| zykotic10 | !pae | salsa | 14:36 |
| ubottu | salsa: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 14:36 |
| gaelfx | zykotic10: thanks :D | 14:36 |
| salsa | ty :) | 14:36 |
| zykotic10 | salsa: PAE is a "hack" - 64 is much better | 14:36 |
| gaelfx | but "hacks" are "cooler" | 14:37 |
| mafiaboy | there's a bug i think whenever i close my laptop's lid the........screen goes blank......and does not returns (atleast 70%) | 14:37 |
| zykotic10 | salsa: i shouldn't say "much better" - but if you've got 4+GB RAM, 64bit is a bit better | 14:37 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I checked out the link, but I don't know what to do (just to let you know, I'm new to linux and not exactly as computer savvy as everyone else here). And how do you do the steps you just explained? | 14:37 |
| salsa | no i got errors again :/ | 14:38 |
| escott | Kenshizl, run gksudo /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog | 14:38 |
| DropsOfSerenity | gaelfx, of course i'm wondering if theres a better more streamlined way, sometimes the unity decorators crash when exiting a fullscreen game or something, was hoping unity had some sort of way of detecting that. | 14:38 |
| escott | Kenshizl, run gksudo gedit /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog [sorry] | 14:38 |
| salsa | package: ubiquity :/ | 14:38 |
| willem | \quit | 14:38 |
| gaelfx | DropsOfSerenity: it should, but it also depends on the game sending the proper signals and whatnot | 14:39 |
| gaelfx | good night, #ubuntu | 14:39 |
| Kenshizl | escott: okay, I did and it just maved to the next line. | 14:40 |
| escott | Kenshizl, i was hoping to pm you so I can walk you through the file. don't know if you saw the pm? | 14:41 |
| Icehawk78 | Am I likely to have issues with a (mostly) headless server running off of a USB wifi adapter? | 14:42 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I don't know what a "pm" is (i'm really new to irc chat) | 14:42 |
| escott | ok | 14:42 |
| Icehawk78 | Rather than, say, a PCI adapter | 14:42 |
| escott | Kenshizl, the top of that file says /var/log/syslog and then a { and some text } the stuff inside the { } are the rules for /var/log/syslog | 14:42 |
| zykotic10 | Icehawk78: server + USB-wireless = good luck | 14:43 |
| escott | Kenshizl, rotate 7 means "keep the last 7 copies" daily means "replace with a new file daily" "delaycompress" means delay compression until a better time, and "compress" means compress the file. | 14:43 |
| Kenshizl | escott: Am I looking in terminal? If so it just shows a command line underneathe the line you told me to type. | 14:44 |
| escott | Kenshizl, for the syslog file you would want to change that to hourly, and remove the delaycompress | 14:44 |
| Icehawk78 | zykotic10: That was sort of my thinking. However, I'm more curious as to whether or not PCI-wireless will actually be significantly better or not? | 14:44 |
| escott | Kenshizl, did you run "gksudo gedit /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog" | 14:44 |
| Kenshizl | escott: yes | 14:44 |
| escott | Kenshizl, it didn't pop up a text editor window? are you not in the gui? | 14:45 |
| Icehawk78 | (The location it's in, wireless is needed, so ethernet is unfortunately out of the question) | 14:45 |
| zykotic10 | Icehawk78: perhaps "server + wireless = good luck" would have been more accurate. i doubt there is a HUGE difference between USB and PCI - depends on chips/drivers more then anything probably. | 14:45 |
| Kenshizl | escott: nothing popped up except it asking for my password. | 14:45 |
| escott | Kenshizl, give it | 14:46 |
| Kenshizl | escott: give it? | 14:46 |
| Icehawk78 | zykotic10: Hah, okay. That's what I was thinking, I'm looking over verious cards right now to see which (if any) have non-terrible Linux support. | 14:46 |
| escott | Kenshizl, you need to provide your password to be able to modify this file. the popup needs your password | 14:46 |
| Resistance | Icehawk78: the differences will be insignificant, the only difference is whether drivers exist for each device. having said this i agree with zykotic10, wireless + server is not a good combo in a production environment | 14:46 |

| Kenshizl | escott: nothing pops up. terminal stays open, Xchat stays open, everythings normal. I even did it again, and still nothing popped open. If you mean the txt-editor is in the terminal, then nothing happened there either. | 14:49 |
| Icehawk78 | Resistance: Makes sense. Luckily, it's not "production" it's just my home server/media center, so while a little bit of jury-rigging is okay, I'm trying to minimize it as much as possible. | 14:49 |

| wylde | kaziweb: it would help if you provided more detail about your issue | 14:49 |
| escott | Kenshizl, if you are comfortable using something like vi you could sudo vi /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog but you would only want to do that if you know vi | 14:50 |

| Kenshizl | escott: yup | 14:52 |
| andybrine | Just out of interest, I have installed compiz on 12.04 and now and now want to disable it. How can we do that? | 14:52 |
| kaziweb | wylde: Hi I'm trying to translate ubuntu community accomplishments, but I don't see any save button there. for this reason I installed bazaar. I downloaded tar ball. I don't know how to use that or to you bazaar for translation. | 14:52 |
| zykotic10 | andybrine: if you use Unity3D - it's a compiz plugin... just sayin' | 14:53 |
| escott | Kenshizl, I would change that to "hourly" and remove the "delaycompress" that way /var/log/syslog is rotated every hour and compressed immediately. you also want to apply that same rule for kern.log so go find kern.log a little further down the file and copy and paste it directly below syslog (but before the braces) | 14:53 |
| andybrine | ok, well I dont want to use all of the features. Compiz was not install by default | 14:54 |

| kaziweb | wylde: I've gone through their wiki. But there is a bug. there is no save button in template. I cannot save what I translate. | 14:56 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I changed the syslog one, so now I go down to kern.log and copy and paste the exact same thing from syslog to kern.log? | 14:56 |
| escott | Kenshizl, or you can just move kern.log line up to apply the same rules to kern.log as to syslog | 14:56 |

| escott | Kenshizl, there is also a size argument that might be helpful. where you can specify "size 100k" and then it should rotate when the files are 100kilobytes | 15:02 |

| escott | Kenshizl, rotate 7 will only keep 7 of them. (and they will compress to be very very small because of the repeated text) you could have rotate 1000 and it would be fine | 15:05 |
| escott | Kenshizl, except for having 1000 copies of the files. | 15:05 |
| Kenshizl | escott: so what does the "rotate" do? | 15:05 |
| kaziweb | wylde: I can send you a screen shot. | 15:05 |
| wylde | kaziweb: I'm looking at it right now. Scroll down as far as you can. Do you mayba need to scroll right to see it? | 15:06 |
| escott | Kenshizl, it says "rotate #" means "keep # copies of the file" if you look in /var/log you will note that you have kern.log.1.gz up to kern.log.4.gz because currently the rule in place is rotate 4 for kern.log | 15:07 |
| kaziweb | wylde: I tried but for me I don't see it. let me send you a screen shot of the page. | 15:07 |

| Fat-Thing | <----can someone tell me what is this process? | 15:07 |
| wylde | kaziweb: if you must | 15:07 |
| wylde | !paste | kaziweb | 15:07 |
| ubottu | kaziweb: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 15:07 |
| Kenshizl | escott: oh. So now that I changed it, it will have up to 7 | 15:08 |
| escott | Kenshizl, yes, up to 7 hours of the file, and they will all be compressed so they should be very small | 15:08 |
| wylde | kaziweb: you may also find someone better able to help with translation issues in #ubuntu-doc | 15:09 |
| escott | Kenshizl, the one problem is that currently logrotate is only run once a day. so even though logrotate is told to rotate hourly it only gets woken up to do work once a day. so we have to make a change to the cron files. | 15:09 |
| Kenshizl | escott: but it still shows that the regular syslog is taking up 2GB | 15:09 |
| Kenshizl | escot: so now I have a 2Gb, 1.4Gb and a 900KB file all taking up space. | 15:10 |
| === xxx is now known as Guest72370 | ||
| escott | Kenshizl, if you "sudo cp /etc/cron.daily/logrotate /etc/cron.hourly/" then you will copy the script that runs logrotate daily to run every hour | 15:10 |
| kaziweb | wylde: please see---> http://imagebin.org/212240 | 15:10 |
| wylde | kaziweb: see your bottom scroll bar? Click it a drag it to the right. | 15:11 |
| Fat-Thing | http://paste.ubuntu.com/985534/ <--- mr. escott can u tell me why i got this process on google chrome? it isn't like these before :( | 15:11 |
| Kenshizl | escott: but it now has 3 instead of 2 insanly huge txt files! | 15:11 |
| escott | Kenshizl, what is the 900kb file? | 15:11 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I meant 95KB, but it is "syslog.2.gz" | 15:12 |
| Dr_willis | Fat-Thing, when googleing for that nacl_helper it seems common to google chrome. | 15:12 |
| escott | Kenshizl, 95kb is not that big | 15:13 |
| kaziweb | wylde: I clicked it and draged it down. this is the screen shot of last bottom right corner where there is no button. | 15:13 |
| wylde | kaziweb: bottom scrollbar...... drag the bottom scrollbar to the right | 15:13 |
| Fat-Thing | Dr_willis, i don't get the same output before when i do the update it's creepy | 15:13 |
| === ludkiller is now known as ludkiller|AFK | ||
| Dr_willis | Fat-Thing, i think you are being paranoid. | 15:14 |
| Fat-Thing | it suck up all my internet connection | 15:14 |
| Dr_willis | Currently the nacl_helper_bootstrap is a dynamically linked executable that depends on nacl_helper.so. It should be changed to a statically linked executable with no advertised dependencies, that chain-loads ld.so which then loads nacl_helper.so. | 15:14 |
| Kenshizl | escott: no, but it is one of three files for just one thing. Instead of compressing that syslog file and deleteing it, it just makes another file! | 15:14 |
| Dr_willis | http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=94147 | 15:14 |
| kaziweb | wylde: Opps I got it. thanks a lot dear. I was suffering from this from yesterday. Thanks again. | 15:14 |
| raven | how to capture flash video streams? | 15:14 |
| Fat-Thing | Dr_willis, sorry if i'm gettin paranoid just than i'm noob huhuh | 15:15 |
| Dr_willis | raven, i normally use a flash downloader app/web site. | 15:15 |
| raven | Dr_willis its a live stream | 15:15 |
| Dr_willis | raven, or are you refering to a webcam-chat stream? | 15:15 |
| kaziweb | wylde: but do you know how can I do this type of translation through bazaar? | 15:15 |
| wylde | kaziweb: no problem, however you may want to file a bug against launchpads page. That button should not be shown outside the viewing area when the rest of the page auto adjusts to fit. | 15:15 |
| escott | Kenshizl, none of the changes we have just made have taken effect yet. because its only 11:15. cron won't run logrotate until 12:00 | 15:15 |
| ttedi | hi, I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 but now it will only display blinking a cursor after boot (instead of the grub menu). I tried booting from usb, chroot, then grub-install but I get the error "cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly" | 15:15 |
| Kenshizl | escott: right now my free space is holding steady at 25.2Gb, but 2 hours ago it was 29.5 Gb (I know I did not download a 4Gb file) | 15:16 |
| kaziweb | wylde: but do you know how can I do this type of translation through bazaar? | 15:16 |
| raven | Dr_willis no i try to capture a news stream from a tv station | 15:16 |
| Dr_willis | raven, Hmm.. not sure on that one. a lot of those sites have alternative streams. then apps like streamtuner/tunapie can grab them | 15:16 |
| Kenshizl | escott: so should I save the file I edited (I did not save it yet) | 15:16 |
| wylde | kaziweb: no I don't, you may want to look into the documentation team and/or translator's mailing list if the irc channels are unresponsive. | 15:16 |
| escott | Kenshizl, if you havent even saved it then it definitely hasn't taken effect | 15:16 |
| raven | Dr_willis i know but theese stations are flash-idiots.... | 15:17 |
| === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ | ||
| Kenshizl | escott: I just saved it. | 15:17 |
| kaziweb | wylde: yes you are right. any ways, thanks a lot again. | 15:17 |
| wylde | kaziweb: np | 15:17 |
| escott | Kenshizl, so now you need to tell cron to run logrotate hourly by running "sudo cp /etc/cron.daily/logrotate /etc/cron.hourly/" | 15:18 |
| escott | Kenshizl, and then wait and hour and see if it rotates the files | 15:18 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I'm doing it right now | 15:19 |
| Kenshizl | escott: I did it and it asked for my password. I typed it in, and (visibly) nothing happened after that. I think it worked | 15:20 |
| escott | Kenshizl, hopefully that will work well enough so that your disk doesnt fill up. a better solution would be to modify /etc/rsyslog.d to not log these messages with intel_prepare_page_flip (I dont know enough about rsyslog to say how to do this) or to pass an argument to the kernel to get the intel drm module to shut-up (check the bug report for some suggestions). | 15:21 |
| Kenshizl | escott: okay. | 15:23 |
| Kenshizl | escott: well, I guess (if you have nothing else to add) I'll watch something online and wait for 12:00 | 15:23 |
| escott | Kenshizl, you can remove the old log files to verify that the rotation happens, and you might need to restart the cron process (sudo service cron restart) | 15:24 |

| escott | solofight, it is not listed in your grub menu? | 15:28 |
| ttedi | interesting, the error "cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly" went away after manually removing that file | 15:28 |
| solofight | escott: when i switch on the system now it directly boots into ubuntu | 15:28 |
| solofight | no windows | 15:28 |
| solofight | option to choose | 15:28 |

| MonkeyDust | solofight do you see the grub menu at all? | 15:33 |
| escott | solofight, you could but its easier for os-prober to find it. what does sudo os-prober say? | 15:34 |
| sirriffsalot | When someone says "install dssi" in relation to softsynths... what packages does that include? Synaptic confuses me...:) | 15:35 |
| MonkeyDust | solofight do you see a menu similar to this, when you boot: http://www.davestechsupport.com/blog/images/grub.png | 15:35 |
| solofight | MonkeyDust: nope - no grubber menu it directly boots into ubuntu and what i see is login screen | 15:35 |
| MonkeyDust | solofight it appears you have to repair the grub menu, it can be done but is not easy if you're a beginner | 15:36 |
| solofight | MonkeyDust: sudo os-prober returns nothing | 15:36 |

| zykotic10 | !notunity | td123 | 15:46 |
| ubottu | td123: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 15:46 |
| escott | td123, no. just install gnome-shell | 15:46 |

| DonKaese | hi everyone, does somebody own an ATI/Intel hybrid graphics notebook and can tell me how well dynamical switching and HDMI output is supported? | 16:16 |
| Polah | amaroks: 640 | 16:17 |
| solofight | escott: no good :( when i restart i dont see thr grub menu - meaning it didn't detect the xp isntallation i think | 16:17 |
| nydel | DonKaese: ridiculously well - i actually just got back from trying to crash it (it took me forever) - i am always hooking my laptop to my hd flatscreen via hdmi & it works smooth as can be with my hybrid graphics | 16:18 |
| krababbel | nydel: vlc should implement this in accordance to the gnome guidelines I guess. Maybe there is an addon if not already there in options. | 16:18 |
| gmachine_24 | I created an encrypted partition on my system using TrueCrypt; now I'm trying to figure out how I back up whatever is on that partition.....I suppose I can back it up to another encrypted partition....is this my choice? | 16:18 |
| Polah | solofight, you have to hold shift when booting to get the grub menu. | 16:18 |
| solofight | Polah: ahh | 16:18 |
| lorddelta | nydel: About your vlc problem, have you tried installing the vlc-libnotify stuff? | 16:18 |
| DonKaese | nydel: excellent, can you tell me which notebook you are using? | 16:18 |
| Aster | Hi, I wanted to migrate my entire Ubuntu install from one computer to another. | 16:19 |
| solofight | Polah: now i see the grub menu - but no entry for windows xp which is installed in sda7 :( | 16:19 |
| Aster | Is that possible? | 16:19 |
| nydel | lorddelta: i have not, will i find that in software center? | 16:19 |
| Polah | solofight, there's probably a setting so that you can have it show the menu by default rather than having to hold shift, but I don't know it if there is | 16:19 |
| Polah | solofight, can't help you there, sorry. | 16:19 |
| lorddelta | nydel: I'm not sure what you mean exactly, since I'm have trouble using my gui atm (I had to start from grub cmdline after a nasty kernel accient)...but you might get lucky and unity uses libnotify in the background | 16:19 |
| lorddelta | nydel: maybe. | 16:19 |
| lorddelta | if not it'll be available via apt-get | 16:19 |
| nydel | DonKaese: i built it myself about 3 years ago, i don't really remember the exact parts | 16:20 |
| solofight | Polah: yeah that setting is in grub config file where you need to set the hidden time out to false i think | 16:20 |
| nydel | lorddelta: i'll just apt-get it. thank you, i'll try this now. | 16:20 |
| DonKaese | nydel: are you using the proprietery driver? | 16:20 |

| Aster | Hi, I wanted to migrate my entire Ubuntu install from one computer to another. Is that possible? What would be the best way of doing it? I'd like to migrate all my files/folders, as I have a lot of data outside of my home folder, so I was thinking of just migrating the entire thing. | 16:23 |
| Sidewinder | !clone | Aster | 16:24 |
| ubottu | Aster: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 16:24 |
| haruband | Anybody know the room name for the next ubuntu developer? | 16:25 |
| Aster | Sidewinder, Not just programs... The data that comes with them, libraries, code, everything. | 16:25 |
| Sidewinder | Aster, I think that's what you're lookin' for; if not, I apologize. | 16:25 |
| Aster | Also, I'd like to not have to re-download everything. | 16:25 |
| mneptok | !dd | Aster | 16:26 |
| DonKaese | nydel: and do you have the same battery time as in windows? | 16:26 |
| * mneptok tut-tuts ubottu | 16:26 | |
| Polah | Aster: You could copy across your /var/cache/apt/archives directory and install from those packages | 16:26 |
| Aster | Polah, <Aster> Sidewinder, Not just programs... The data that comes with them, libraries, code, everything. | 16:26 |
| mneptok | Aster: look at the program "dd" | 16:26 |
| Aster | Okay. | 16:27 |
| nydel | DonKaese: no. the battery time is decreased significantly-enough to make me suspect my battery of having broken around the time i switched, but i haven't booted back into windows to see what's what | 16:27 |
| Polah | Aster: Anything you've installed separately that didn't come with any packages you'll have to move yourself. You could image your drive and put it onto the other computer to get everything, but it'll probably take a long time depending on how large your drive is. | 16:27 |
| Sidewinder | Aster, Or, perhaps rsync and it's GUI front-end grsync. | 16:27 |
| Aster | The size of the data I'm trying to copy over is 80 GB. | 16:28 |
| synergizm | hey anone using scribes on 11.10? | 16:28 |
| === lub` is now known as lubmil | ||
| synergizm | anyone* | 16:28 |
| synergizm | i cant get the highlighting to work | 16:28 |
| === latsarazzi is now known as kish | ||
| Polah | Aster: Yeah, that would take quite a while to image with dd and then put it on the other drive. Like Sidewinder said, rsync over your local network is an option but could still take a long time. I guess if both systems support GbE and you have a cat6 cable to connect them it might be fairly quick | 16:29 |
| nydel | DonKaese: but my battery is running itself down when the computer is shut down, so i highly doubt it is ubuntu's fault. | 16:29 |
| Aster | Polah, I'll try the Etho cable. | 16:30 |
| Polah | Aster: You'll need to install Ubuntu on the other system first to do that | 16:31 |
| Aster | Done. | 16:32 |
| DonKaese | nydel: thank you for your help! | 16:32 |

| joep | Hi, I have a strange problem with GRUB2. I installed from an USB-stick XUBUNTU 12.04 over a corrupt installation of 11.10. | 16:33 |
| Polah | Aster: If both systems or cable don't support GbE then it'll only transfer at ~100Mb/s (or worse, 10Mb/s but anything make in the past few years should at least support 100Mb ethernet. It'll take a couple of hours at 100Mb/s | 16:33 |
| joep | That went without any problem. | 16:33 |
| Aster | Polah, I'd be extremely happy if I just had 10 Mb/s. | 16:34 |

| BobMarley | somebody know some app that when i turn off my pc and restore it, i have the exact environment i have turned it off | 17:23 |
| bobweaver | hello BobMarley nice name do you have a Ubuntu related question ? | 17:23 |
| escott | harushimo, what is the question | 17:24 |
| bobweaver | nope sorry BobMarley | 17:24 |
| Polah | BobMarley, use suspend or hibernate. | 17:24 |
| harushimo | the question right now I have 160 gb hard drive which is being used for the OS. I want to use 1 tb as backup drive | 17:24 |
| BobMarley | bobweaver, Polah that app would be very usefull | 17:24 |
| harushimo | I'm currently doing a reinstall | 17:24 |
| ztag100 | Just restarted my computer, now I'm getting an error "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /bin/init" | 17:25 |
| harushimo | I want to know what mount point should I exactly use when I want to use this 1 tb hard drive | 17:25 |
| escott | harushimo, so what part of this is the question? | 17:25 |
| IdleOne | BobMarley: I believe you can select to reload previous session at the login screen | 17:25 |
| harushimo | when I log into the system, I have access to it | 17:25 |
| Polah | BobMarley, it's not an app, it's a build in command. Do man pm-suspend, or you can just go to your shut down button and select suspend or hibernate | 17:25 |
| escott | harushimo, you can use whatever mount point you want. /media/backup or /mnt/backup would be sensible locations | 17:25 |
| BobMarley | Polah, i can do it but if teke off the current nor the hibernate nor the supend bring back my previous environment | 17:25 |
| harushimo | I can create the folder and have access to that folder in the system right after I do the reinstall | 17:26 |
| harushimo | I know I have problems where the mount point didn't properly work | 17:26 |
| linuxjones | can i use the software center to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu all together? | 17:26 |
| harushimo | that is why i'm asking the question | 17:26 |
| Polah | BobMarley, hibernate should; it saves state to drives. Suspend stores state in memory which will be wiped when it loses power. | 17:26 |
| xangua | !upgrade | linuxjones | 17:26 |
| ubottu | linuxjones: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 17:26 |
| IdleOne | harushimo: you have not asked a question yet | 17:26 |
| pooltable | help how to add extract here in the file opation??? | 17:27 |

| tpw_rules | how can i skip checking for disks in the boot process? | 17:31 |
| BobMarley | Polah, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/hardware/C/pm-suspending.html ---> seems that hibernation will do my job, thank for the advise, i will try it | 17:31 |
| tpw_rules | every time i start my computer, it complains that a disk is missing which i removed from it a while ago. i have to press a key to skip it | 17:31 |
| escott | tpw_rules, the last column in /etc/fstab | 17:31 |
| tpw_rules | okay, thanks | 17:32 |
| tpw_rules | i'll try that | 17:32 |
| Polah | tpw_rules, comment out or remove the entry from your fstab so it doesn't try to load it on boot | 17:32 |
| tpw_rules | should i remove the entry completely? | 17:32 |
| Polah | tpw_rules, you could do. Personally I'd just comment it out in case you use it later. | 17:33 |
| png85 | if you dont plan to re-add the disk to the system i guess you can, otherwise just set the last column in its line to 0 to skip filesystem checks during boot | 17:33 |
| tpw_rules | it was already set to 0, i commented it out | 17:33 |
| tpw_rules | it's removed because it had a head crash | 17:34 |

| escott | tpw_rules, swap partitions dont have an fsck | 17:35 |
| tpw_rules | it wasn't fsck | 17:35 |
| tpw_rules | it just said "Waiting for disk <UUID>, Press S to skip mount" | 17:35 |
| escott | linuxfreaker, probably not as well, but you could try and install grub-efi. alternately you might install a smaller 12.04 (minimal) just to get a copy of grub-efi | 17:36 |

| escott | harushimo, did you select any non-standard options (lvm, mdadm, btrfs, etc) | 17:47 |
| harushimo | it has two hard drives. It has a 160 gb and 1 tb | 17:48 |

| linuxfreaker | ikonia: any idea? | 17:50 |
| escott | harushimo, perhaps the initrd doesnt have the reiser module. you might need to add it to modules and update-initramfs | 17:50 |
| iceroot | dontknow: imo gksu is coming from kde/qt and gksudo from gnome | 17:50 |

| linuxfreaker | ikonia: The bug shows the fix but dont know which version has that fix | 17:51 |
| escott | dontknow, gksudo is a symlink to gksu so it probably doesnt matter which one you use | 17:51 |
| escott | harushimo, you arent going to be able to fix it in the rescue screen. you'll need to boot the livecd and chroot in | 17:52 |
| dontknow | escott, they are not same | 17:52 |
| harushimo | when chroot in, then do an sudo update-initrafms? | 17:53 |

| evgeni | Hello, i have trouble with 12.04 sticky keys. Pressing a modifier twice disables it, instead of holding. | 18:30 |
| escott | domino14, so with over 2GB free your first assumption is the oom killer? | 18:30 |
| domino14 | it shouldnt be, but someone told me that when the process disappears like that leaving no stack trace in the log, to look at the OOM killer | 18:31 |

| Icehawk78 | I recently upgraded to 12.04 and when I try to log on, I get what looks like a terminal screen filled with... maybe logs? and then it kicks me back to the login screen, but I'm unable to get it to let me see what is displaying. If I manually log in as the same user from a command line, I have no issues, so I assume it's something to do with the GUI | 18:42 |
| Icehawk78 | Any recommendations on either how to see what that screen is showing me without immediately kicking me back to the login screen, or to view some logs from a shell? | 18:44 |
| wilee-nilee | raven, I don't think that is a particular bug, sometimes when bootinb from a usb the HD will read as sdb or another and the non custom install defaults to a sda mbr. | 18:44 |

| linuxfreaker | I read UEFIBooting link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting which states that use grub latest version if your dell server is not functioning | 18:50 |
| linuxfreaker | How shall I upgrade my GRUB..do I need to create a complete new ISO with latest GRUB version | 18:50 |
| linuxfreaker | it suggest Some machines (all Dell laptops, all new Apple from 2010 on, some Lenovo) have bugs in their UEFI firmware, preventing them from booting (black screen). Linux Kernel 3.0 (and higher versions) includes patches with workarounds for them. It is therefore recommended to use a Linux kernel of version 3.0 or higher. | 18:50 |

| cypher-neo | Hello. I was following instructions online to change my mouse cursor, but it doesn't seem to work exactly the way the tutorial suggested. I changed the theme using gnome-tweak-tool, then used "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" to switch the entire theme over to the correct cursor. And finally I Alt-F2'd and "compiz --replace"... but!! The cursor did not change. I ended up having to restart to get the cursor to cha | 18:56 |
| cypher-neo | nge. Is there any way to restart a Unity or compiz session without closing all the programs I have open? | 18:56 |
| escott | tyteen4a03, not really. its pretty hard to diagnose these things from afar. you claim that grub was installed correctly and yet grub doesnt seem to load. if grub-install was installed to the mbr's of both disks it should be impossible for anything to boot | 18:56 |
| ozzloy | linuxfreaker, i could scan iwconfig and look for lines starting at column 0 that don't have "no wireless extensions", but i'd rather get back a list of names of wireless cards directly. dmidecode looks like it would also have to be parsed | 18:56 |
| ozzloy | linuxfreaker, thanks though, those look promising | 18:57 |

| ubottu | PySharky: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:27 |

| nickgaw | you just set the root password using sudo | 19:30 |
| PySharky | MonkeyDust, actually it is possible and quite easy, the question is how to change the root account to gnome classic it is stuck in unity even though gnome classic is installed/selected | 19:30 |
| PySharky | at login regular account can be set to gnome classic and works fine but if i log in as root it keeps logging into unity | 19:31 |
| PySharky | hasn't anyone tried this before? | 19:34 |
| Oer | PySharky, "log in as root¨ ?? | 19:35 |
| PySharky | no | 19:35 |

| ikonia | PySharky: you do not need it | 19:37 |
| ikonia | PySharky: there is zero reason to login to X11 as root | 19:37 |
| Oer | PySharky, there is no root account ( it is standard disabled in ubuntu), so i wonder what you try to do. | 19:38 |
| PySharky | so boring people telling me what i am and am not supposed to do | 19:38 |
| ikonia | PySharky: so boring people trying to do what ubuntu is designed to not do | 19:39 |
| PySharky | i do need root to test out some program function i am designing since they require root privs | 19:39 |
| LjL | PySharky: feel free to do what you want, but we do not support logging in as root here, to the best of our knowledge your computer could explode if you do that. | 19:39 |

| ikonia | dns_issue: what ? | 20:06 |
| Leestons | dns_issue: I don't understand you either | 20:07 |
| dns_issue | I have static IP address on ubuntu server 12.04 | 20:07 |
| dns_issue | I am running local bind for internal resolution | 20:08 |
| naxil | hello | 20:08 |
| dns_issue | .. ubuntu does not honor the "search domain1 domain2 domain3" string in the resolv.conf settings | 20:08 |
| ikonia | dns_issue: it's changed in 12.04 to use a dnsmasq config | 20:08 |
| naxil | i have a problem with firefox.. i have install a flashplugin (youtube) and now if i try to start video .. firefox shutdown automatic | 20:09 |
| dns_issue | can anyone tell me how to get rid of dnsmasq.. or why to use dnsmasq to begin with ? | 20:09 |
| havard_ | Anyone know how to solve this problem with wine: "Internal errors - invalid parameteres received" | 20:09 |
| ikonia | dns_issue: "why to use dnsmasq" ? | 20:09 |
| ikonia | dns_issue: do you want to configure dnsmasq ? | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dns_issue: you can set DNS servers in network manager | 20:10 |
| dns_issue | no network manager. | 20:10 |

| dns_issue | no gui | 20:10 |
| nannes | Hi. I think the adobe flashplayer has a bug.... | 20:11 |
| dns_issue | is dnsmasq enabled by default in 12.04 ? | 20:11 |
| nannes | many people is having a crash problem with flash 11.2 | 20:11 |
| nannes | in all browsers | 20:11 |
| havard_ | Anyone know how to solve this problem with wine: "Internal errors - invalid parameteres received" | 20:11 |
| dns_issue | i am not using dnsmasq | 20:11 |
| ikonia | dns_issue: it's enabled by default | 20:12 |
| ikonia | dns_issue: so you are using dnsmasq, hence why resolv.conf is being ignored | 20:12 |
| dns_issue | where are the dnsmasq config files ?.. how do I verify ? | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | dns_issue: could use wicd-curses then, nice UI there | 20:13 |
| bastidrazor | dns_issue: /etc/dnsmasq.conf | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dns_issue: did you tell dnsmasq to listen on 127.0.0.1 if you are only using it as a local dns cache. I use it in that way | 20:13 |
| dns_issue | @ActionParsnip ? what is wicd-cruses ? | 20:14 |
| dns_issue | no dnsmasq at all | 20:14 |

| cipher_nl | Hi guys. Is it normal my new Ivy Bridge system freezes under a fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04 just using the Firefox browser? I had it three times now. No memtest86 errors came up; memory tested 24+ hours. Windows runs fine. | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dns_issue: its just an example, its a good tool to use | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | cipher_nl: do other apps cause a freeze? | 20:16 |
| AxonetBE | ikonia: ok update went fine, but I think there are problems with the grub, how can I check everything is fine because server needs restart... | 20:16 |
| cipher_nl | ActionParsnip: i wouldn't know.. it doesn't crash using Terminal. Haven't really used other applications. It ran stable for 6+ hours but crashes about then. | 20:17 |
| cipher_nl | ActionParsnip: maybe it is the graphics driver for Intel HD4000 (integrated in ivy bridge CPU). But i cannot change the driver to a closed-source driver via "Additional Drivers". I might try another videocard though. | 20:17 |
| cipher_nl | Most of the crashes I had were due to the use of open source nVidia/ATi graphics drivers; the crashes disappeared when using the closed source drivers. But that's not possible with Intel, right? :( | 20:18 |
| Oer | cipher_nl, maybe there is an other reason for ivy-bridge heating issues > http://www.techenclave.com/latest-technology-news/reason-behind-ivy-bridge-s-130922/ | 20:19 |
| oops | how can I enable the pidgin menu: http://i.imgur.com/jJBfO.png ? | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | cipher_nl: there is no closed source driver for the chip | 20:19 |
| cipher_nl | Oer: i know all about that; the issue is not temperature trust me. It runs very cool and non-overclocked. It passes Memtest86+ and some stability torture tests under windows | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | cipher_nl: are you also using an nvidia GPU in the same system> | 20:19 |
| Darkenvy | Im looking for documentation on how to make your own Gnome3 themes | 20:20 |
| cipher_nl | ActionParsnip: nope its a vanilla system; motherboard + cpu + mem + 2 SSD only. But i have had those issues with nVidia/ATi in the past with Ubuntu. So that's why I suspect the video driver first... But I can insert an nVidia card in the PCI-express, if it doesn't crash after making that switch, it probably is the Intel driver... | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | oops: which meanu? | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | cipher_nl: if you boot to Unity2D session, is it ok? | 20:22 |
| oops | ActionParsnip, all menus of pidgin. Buddies, Accounts, Tool, Help, etc. | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | oops: those are in the global menu at the top | 20:22 |
| cipher_nl | ActionParsnip: good suggestion. i have not tried that yet. I assume this works by logging out and then selecting Unity 2D like in previous releases? Going to try now. :) | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | cipher_nl: the same :) | 20:22 |

Under the Unity 2D i now got a crash again; with apport reporting the xserver-xorg-video-intel process has crashes with 'GPU render lockup'.

| ActionParsnip | rottik9: 12.04 Gnome will use Unity by default, if you have a bar at the bottom you are probably running KDE and a par at the top and bottom will probably be Xubuntu | 20:53 |

| ClientAlive | has anyone here even used kvm before? | 20:56 |
| conradzz | md5 on the iso is fine | 20:56 |
| Resistance | pambos: its a launchpad feature - two people say the bug occurs, its an automated change | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | oops: Unity is made by Canonical, the default Gnome shell in Gnome3 is gnome-shell | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ClientAlive: not something I use, tried in #kvm maybe... | 20:56 |
| pambos | Resistance: so any suggestions how to solve this issue? | 20:56 |
| oops | ActionParsnip, thanks. | 20:56 |
| oops | I still have one question. Is there a way to get back the menu attached to the Pidgin window? It is inconvenient to go to the top left corner to use the menu every time. | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | oops: use the HUD ;) | 20:57 |
| ClientAlive | ActionParsnip: yes, I'm logged onto #kvm for a few hrs now - there's 301 ppl logged on there and no one is saying anything to anyone | 20:57 |

| oops | ActionParsnip, how can I get that? | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | oops: press ALT once and type what you desire, HUD will search the menus and make selection easy | 20:57 |
| Resistance | pambos: not much you can do at this point, with a bug being filed | 20:58 |

| ring1 | trism, thanks. do you know, if there is an expected end of life for gnome-panel? | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ring1: i'd ask in #gnome | 21:15 |
| K-Rich | there is always MATE as well | 21:15 |

| DarwinSurvivor | CarlFK: Someone said kopete works with yahoo video. Also give empathy a try (if you prefer a GTK app) | 21:25 |
| CarlFK | RealEyes: my guess is usb1, or is the external disk or flashram/thumbdirve ? | 21:26 |

| DarwinSurvivor | RealEyes: please run "dd if=/dev/zero of=~/temp_file.img" and tell me what the reported speed is (last number on the last line) | 21:31 |
| totesmuhgoats | stef1a: if you are trying to execute the command via ssh it will play on the remote machine, not on your desktop | 21:31 |
| conradzz | it installed grub on the usb drive instead of the hard drive I specified | 21:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | RealEyes: it will probably take a minute or so to run (it creates an empty 2GB file) | 21:31 |
| totesmuhgoats | stef1a: you could do something like stream from the remote machine to the local one, or set up a network share with samba / nfs | 21:31 |
| totesmuhgoats | i think there is also something called sshfs, though i've never used that to know how it works | 21:31 |
| RealEyes | DarwinSurvivor, its hanging and my xchat is actingup now too | 21:32 |
| RealEyes | i might have effed this SSD | 21:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stef1a: for sshfs just run "mkdir temp_folder; sshfs machine_ip@machine_user:Music" (assuming you use ssh machine_ip@machine_user to connect via ssh) | 21:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stef1a: then you can simply browse to the "temp_folder" and see all the files | 21:33 |
| simplew | Im veryconfused here, i see that for 64bits and 32bits the lib packages have EXACTLY the same name, so how is possible to isntall a library for both arches??? | 21:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: why do you need libraries for both...? | 21:33 |
| simplew | DarwinSurvivor: i do, but what that has to do with what i asked? | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: in a 64bit OS you will also see /usr/lib32 | 21:34 |
| RealEyes | DarwinSurvivor, I rtthink Im going to reinstall the OS, things are starting to freeze up | 21:34 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: i have tried to install a package for both arches and revealed impossible, it refused to install | 21:34 |
| totesmuhgoats | DarwinSurvivor: is that all it takes?? that's effen cool | 21:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: because 99% of the time someone asks a strange technical question, they're doing something outside of how ubuntu is supposed to be used | 21:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: for instance when asking how to set the root password, we refer them to sudo instead | 21:35 |
| simplew | DarwinSurvivor: what that has to do with what i asked? | 21:35 |
| totesmuhgoats | why does ubuntu discourage users from setting the root password? | 21:36 |
| simplew | like things are done in ubuntu its impossible to install the same lib for both arches!!! | 21:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | RealEyes: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools to check the health of your ssd | 21:36 |
| simplew | and i never saw any like this, makes no sense! | 21:36 |
| narctix | ubuntu dont advise on setting root password as it would /dev/null any support agreement? | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: its not impossible, they go in different folders | 21:36 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: how can it be psosible if the packages have the EXACT name | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | totesmuhgoats: think about the target audience of ubuntu | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: they are suffixed with :i386 | 21:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | narctix: ubuntu was designed so you would never need the root pasword since it tends to just get users into more trouble | 21:37 |
| totesmuhgoats | simplew: linux is unlike windows, since most things are compiled from source the entire system tends to be for the arch you are running. if you don't have a lib32 folder it means you have no 32-bit software installed | 21:37 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: are no! | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: wanna bet? | 21:38 |
| narctix | DarwinSurvivor so would be against support because of that | 21:38 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: show me please | 21:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | narctix: not so much "against support" but against ubuntu's design decisions. it would be like asking a mechanic how to put put your tires on backwards, he'd tell you it's a bad idea and ask why you would watnt to | 21:39 |

| SolarisBoy | *blowz | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: skype for 64bit is actually just 32bit skype, the OS is multiarch, so you will pull in a tonne of 32bit deps. Not the filenames here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986220/ | 21:39 |
| totesmuhgoats | so if this is the official ubuntu channel, does that simply mean that canonical recognizes the channel? or are there actually canonical employees here? | 21:39 |

| ActionParsnip | zowsz: can you rephrase, that wasn't english | 21:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: the only time you should ever need to manually select a package from a different architecture is if you are trying to compile software from source. I've been using ubuntu since Gutsy and have *never* had to do it (and I *am* a software developer) | 21:43 |

| DarwinSurvivor | zowsz: please define "cloak" | 21:45 |
| simplew | zowsz: ask freenode guys | 21:45 |
| simplew | zowsz: enter in #freenode and ask one | 21:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | zowsz: oh, you mean an IRC cloak! | 21:45 |
| bennypr0fane | I have pentium dual core 1,2GHz, 4GB ram | 21:45 |
| xangua | bennypr0fane: try a live cs/usb and test it | 21:45 |
| narctix | DarwinSurvivor So why does the community not advise on setting root? | 21:45 |
| simplew | DarwinSurvivor: you think your funny | 21:46 |
| wylde | narctix: because there's no reason the average user needs it. | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | TemporaryName123: run: sudo mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg; echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" | sudo tee -a /etc/adobe/mms.cfg | 21:46 |
| Oer | narctix, no need to, first user created will have sudo priv | 21:46 |
| bennypr0fane | isn't a live cd going to be somewhat slower than ther actual install? | 21:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TemporaryName123: open youtube, right click the video and disable hardware acceleration. That *should* fix the color problem. | 21:46 |
| narctix | DarwinSurvivor So why not warn what they can do with it rather than denying it? | 21:46 |
| xangua | bennypr0fane: a usb then | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: its due to security, target audience of ubuntu and control of whom can run admin stuffs | 21:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: no, I honestly am not sure what your comment meant | 21:47 |
| wylde | narctix: no one is denied it, it is highly "recommended" not to do it. | 21:47 |
| simplew | here http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libkactivities6 shows thats the same name for both arches, unbelievable | 21:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !root | 21:47 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:47 |
| RealEyes | DarwinSurvivor, I had to reboot because my machine was freezing up. | 21:47 |
| RealEyes | Im formatting some drives now. | 21:48 |
| narctix | lol I know what root is | 21:48 |
| narctix | Ive done LFS | 21:48 |
| simplew | DarwinSurvivor: a really noob dev for what i can see | 21:48 |
| zowsz | thanks | 21:48 |
| narctix | and admin linux boxes for years | 21:48 |
| Resistance | Joe42: your support question would be better suited for here (in reference to you mentioning you broke something in #ubuntu-irc) | 21:48 |
| TemporaryName123 | DarwinSurvivor, tyvm that fixes the problem | 21:48 |
| LjL | !noob | simplew | 21:48 |
| ubottu | simplew: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 21:48 |
| wylde | simplew: that's uncalled for. Kindly stop. | 21:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | RealEyes: I highly recommend running the smartmontools utilities. They can be run while using the operating system without any problems and will tell you if any of your drives are experiencing problems. | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: its just a smart choice really | 21:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: and why do you think that? | 21:48 |
| RealEyes | DarwinSurvivor, where do I get those? | 21:49 |
| Joe42 | hi can somebody help me fix unity? | 21:49 |
| Resistance | !details | Joe42 | 21:49 |
| ubottu | Joe42: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:49 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: you said that 32bit packages had different names but that doesnt seams to be true | 21:49 |
| narctix | actionparsnip its a good setup for a single user desktop yeah | 21:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TemporaryName123: no problem. Your videos will run a little slower, but since flash is closed-source only Adobe can *fix* the problem. | 21:49 |
| TemporaryName123 | ActionParsnip what does that command do? | 21:49 |
| llliii | If I choose encrypted LVM option during installation. And later if I upgrade everything, will the decryption still work and can I boot properly ? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | TemporaryName123: makes a folder then adds 2 lines to the file | 21:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | RealEyes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: no, just for general security | 21:50 |
| RealEyes | thanks | 21:50 |
| simplew | i really cant understand this distro, i have even installed it... | 21:50 |
| TemporaryName123 | ActionParsnip so that command fixes the color without disabling flash hardware acceleration? | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: you can have 4 users and have 2 in the admin group to run the admin tasks (like a household with 2 kids). | 21:50 |
| === Brustofski is now known as Brustofski-Fan | ||
| ActionParsnip | narctix: you don't want the kids running admin stuff so you can control them | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | TemporaryName123: try it, it's just a file, you can delete the file if it's no good. Think about it | 21:51 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: im still wating for a comment from your part | 21:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TemporaryName123: go with ActionParsnip's fix | 21:51 |
| narctix | actionparsnip so just a case of reanabling root and fixing sudoers and remove the all permissions to admin it as multi user? | 21:51 |
| bennypr0fane | how are your experiences with rather low-end hardware? i read in a blog to be fast, Pangolin wants at least 1GB of ram. that doesn't worry me though but the cpu, it's barely above netbook level | 21:51 |
| SolarisBoy | yea - i have that fix in my conf now - it works | 21:51 |
| SolarisBoy | only thing is - its old - i wonder what made it pop back up | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: its not supported here | 21:52 |
| wylde | simplew: do you have an actual support request? | 21:52 |
| Joe42 | hi i have a problem with unity, im runing ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, the top and the left bars are gone, i did not tried to use the cube thingy but i was playin with ubuntu tweak, i uninstalled unity installed it back, uninstalled compiz and installed it back, and i also tried regular commands lie unity --reset | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: i can't even find the package, so i don't know how you can install it | 21:52 |
| simplew | wylde: yes, i was asking to install a library for both arches, but that seams impossible | 21:52 |
| conradzz | I probably shouldn't install proprietary drivers right? | 21:52 |
| xangua | bennypr0fane: there is xubuntu and lubuntu for low resoruces | 21:53 |
| cheryl_ | Hi, my version of Ubuntu is no longer supported, it's 10.04...I d/loaded latest version 'n tried running it on a live cd, it did not work! I am unable to upgrade my hardware, has linux gone like those other ppl, demanding more hardware reserves??? :( | 21:53 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: well its listed here in muon | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: you can make life simpler by running the OS as is, once you get it setup the only time you'll use your password is for updates | 21:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: can you log in as a second user and see if the problem persists? This will tell us if the problem is specific to your user account. | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: what is 'muon'? | 21:53 |
| narctix | actionparsnip | 21:53 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: KDE's "Software Center" | 21:53 |
| RealEyes | DarwinSurvivor, funny thing, the two internal HDD's I have a reading/writing to eachother fine | 21:53 |
| akash | hello | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: i see | 21:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: you were told twice how to do it. Use the :i386 suffix | 21:53 |
| narctix | actionparsnip Thats why I use ubuntu on my desktop its out of the box Linux | 21:54 |
| simplew | DarwinSurvivor: im not understanding | 21:54 |
| akash | can someone help me | 21:54 |
| wylde | !find libkactivites6 | 21:54 |
| RealEyes | !ask skash | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Package/file libkactivites6 does not exist in precise | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: if you want to become root, just run: sudo -i and you will be running commands as root til you run: exit and the root acount can stay disabled as it should be | 21:54 |
| RealEyes | !ask akash | 21:54 |
| opamp | Hi, I want to open torrent client and start downloading using command line. I tried to see transmission-cli man but couldnot find a way to do it. Any help/link will be appreciated :) | 21:54 |
| simplew | DarwinSurvivor: like this: apt-get install libkactivities6-i386 ? | 21:54 |
| akash | kk well im doing linux from scratch | 21:54 |
| RealEyes | omg | 21:54 |
| akash | and i have to install a patch | 21:54 |
| hash | anyone know the freenode server info i.e. Title, Host, and port trying to connect over my android | 21:54 |
| RealEyes | LFS lol | 21:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: on a 64bit machine, replace "sudo apt-get install some_package" with "sudo apt-get install some_package:i386" | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: most desktop linuxes are linux out of the box.. | 21:55 |
| akash | but everytime i do it i get an error message saying aks your administrator to install it | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | hash: do you mean for IRC? | 21:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hash: best ask in the #freenode channel | 21:55 |

| wylde | hash: it's an open proxy checker. | 21:55 |
| Joe42 | DarwinSurvivor: yes im able to log in as a second user but unity is also missing there | 21:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: please use paste.ubuntu.com for multi-line output | 21:56 |
| narctix | actionparsnip not with all the non open source stuff they aint | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: then install the dep it needs | 21:56 |
| simplew | DarwinSurvivor: ok | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: how do you mean? | 21:56 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: apt is not isntalling the deps, it refuses | 21:56 |
| wylde | hash: I've already looked into it. It's freenode making sure there are no open proxies on your machine. If there are you won't be allowed to connect. | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: then grab the debs yourself and install them | 21:56 |
| narctix | actionparsnip nvidia or other gfx drivers flash etc | 21:56 |
| hash | cool thank you | 21:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !purge | Joe42 | 21:56 |
| ubottu | Joe42: To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P | 21:56 |
| bennypr0fane | xangua I have lxde on Suse and I have to say I'm not happy, but it's hard to tell how much of the problems is to blame on Suse opn how much on Lxde | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: video drivers are easily installed in many Linuxes, flash isn't hard to install either | 21:57 |
| akash | any ideas realeyes? | 21:57 |
| RealEyes | LFS is such a pain | 21:57 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: grab what? apt-get does it, and hes refusing to install, seams that even me (that im new to deb system) can understand more than you | 21:57 |
| RealEyes | Im not sure there is a freenode channel. | 21:57 |
| goggu | My HDMI monitor loses the edges of the Unity Desktop. I can't click any buttons. | 21:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: please uninstall unity and comiz, then run the purge command quoted by ubottu. You may want to install a secondary Desktop Environment (ex: kde, xfce, etc) while doing so | 21:57 |
| akash | well i've been able to get through most of it it just messes up cuz none of the patches install | 21:57 |
| narctix | actionparsnip didnt say was hard just takes longer when you work with Linux every day and install it every day the less config the better | 21:57 |
| akash | patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.6.2-cross_compile-1.patch | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: go to the internet and download the deb file you need and install it, apt will then see the dependency being met and install | 21:58 |
| akash | thats the line | 21:58 |

| ActionParsnip | simplew: could try gdebi | 21:58 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: apt-get does it | 21:59 |
| narctix | actionparsnip I find ubunt do the install then ubuntu-restricted-extras done | 21:59 |
| Joe42 | also should i uninstall with apg-get remove or apt-get purge? | 21:59 |
| 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 when i plug it in? using unity for a desktop environment. | 21:59 |
| bennypr0fane | xangua anyway I'm gettign suspicious that the more mainstream an install (i.e. using default options for everythign), the less likely I'll be to run into problems...) | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: that may give you issues with flash, you need to enable partner repo for 64bit flash niceness | 21:59 |
| hash | this might be a stupid question do u need punctuation after a name to make it show up yellow | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: well it's not, is it | 21:59 |
| wylde | hash: it was showing connect attempts to my server here, from a freenode address. Moment I'll copy a line from the log to show you. | 21:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: yes, that will work | 21:59 |
| OccupyDemonoid | Is there a way to bind a key to open up my music program once pressed? I have a music key on my keyboard that does nothing at all. | 21:59 |
| simplew | seams theres no one with experience to clarify | 21:59 |
| Joe42 | DarwinSurvivor | 21:59 |
| narctix | actionparsnip I was exampling a nice quick setup | 22:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: please log in as gnome before running the commands - best not to uninstall something that is running :P | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: Mint for example has all the stuff already in the CD, no need for any extra effor | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: ^ | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: wrong target, sorry | 22:00 |
| narctix | actionparsnip I mainly use gentoo slackware or do server installs with RH centos and Fedora | 22:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | simplew: if you continue to insult those attempting to help you, you will find that they will *quickly* cease attempting to help you | 22:00 |
| bennypr0fane | xangua so I figured I best get regular Ubuntu with its default desktop... | 22:00 |
| Joe42 | DarwinSurvivor: oh ok, and how can i log out using the terminal ive been rebooting mi computer ever since | 22:00 |
| xangua | OccupyDemonoid: you can add the music player you want to unity launcher and just use super+number of the position in the launcher | 22:00 |
| simplew | DarwinSurvivor: the way you help its also insulting | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | narctix: for simple setup, i'd always go for xpud | 22:01 |
| OccupyDemonoid | xangua, I didn't even think of that. Thank you. | 22:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: I believ Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will get you back to the login screen. from there select a gnome session and log in with that | 22:01 |
| simplew | i think its better to go back iato some real distro like fedora, opensuse, mandriva, mage | 22:01 |
| OccupyDemonoid | Joe42, Hit control+alt+delete. That is how I log out. | 22:02 |
| narctix | actionparsnip Im not here for support | 22:02 |

| akash | so how do you switch back to your original user ?:S | 22:08 |
| Joe42 | ok it said violation of the gement core | 22:09 |
| hash | endtype: if u can boot from usb id recommend a install on that less to go wrong | 22:09 |
| narctix | akash if your ding lfs you shouldnt be root and should be chrooted to the lfs user and not need root access as root is your home | 22:09 |
| Joe42 | segment | 22:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: ok, that is bad, it means something segfaulted. | 22:09 |
| hash | endtype: as long as u have an external | 22:09 |
| Joe42 | wich means... | 22:09 |
| celthunder | akash: su >user< | 22:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: it's a means a program tried to read memory it wasn't allowed to read (usually a programming bug, but often triggered by corruption) | 22:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: is this a recent install? | 22:10 |
| endtype | i'm using wubi btw | 22:10 |
| Joe42 | mmm not recent i mean couple of weeks old | 22:10 |
| Joe42 | ever since the 12.04 came out, i did the update | 22:10 |
| endtype | if that makes any diff??? cuz i'd assume wubi would partition by default | 22:10 |
| hash | yeah i used wubi and it messed up my mbr | 22:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: did you update using update manager or using a cd/usb? | 22:11 |
| akash | ughh it wont work :( | 22:11 |
| Joe42 | update manager | 22:11 |
| goggu | persona: missed your issue. not a major irc person. i can tell you that my wife or dogs would take a long time to make your suggestion. | 22:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | endtype: wubi does not do partitioning or dual-boot. it is sort of like an all-in-one virtual machine that allows you to run ubuntu as if it were a windows application. | 22:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: can you run "sudo apt-get update" and tell me if there are any errors? | 22:12 |
| Joe42 | sure | 22:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: if there are, please copy/paste the entire output to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:12 |
| hash | wubi was allowing me to partition inside my windows drive and add a boot option to chose windows or ubuntu | 22:13 |
| Joe42 | DarwinSurvivor: and then send you the link? | 22:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: yes please | 22:13 |
| Joe42 | ok will do | 22:13 |
| remlabm | hey guys, just installed 12.04 64bit. Ran updates and Additional Drivers. Now i keep getting a black screen with panic. Any ideas on how to figure wth is going on? | 22:15 |
| endtype | DarwinSurvivor: so is it basically an application i can click to open up a virtual machine that runs ubuntu? | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | remlabm: what video chip do you use? | 22:16 |
| Joe42 | i did not saw any errors but i pasted anywat http://paste.ubuntu.com/986272/ | 22:16 |
| Joe42 | anyway | 22:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | endtype: pretty much. I've never used it myself since I've been a regular linux user since before wubi was created. | 22:16 |
| remlabm | Nvidia Geforce 8600 - I didnt update that yet though | 22:16 |
| narctix | remlabm your kernel has panicd whats the last 2 lines say? | 22:16 |
| === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk | ||
| ActionParsnip | remlabm: use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 22:16 |
| remlabm | CPU - | Modules linked in : michael_mic arc1 ..... bunch of module listings | 22:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: do you get any errors when using gnome or is it only unity that is experiencing problems? | 22:17 |
| remlabm | ActionParsnip: Ok ill do that, what is nouveau driver? | 22:17 |
| narctix | nouveau is open source nvidia | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | remlabm: open source nvidia driver, some chips like it, some don't | 22:18 |
| Joe42 | yup only unity, but like i said earlier i re-instaled unity today, several times | 22:18 |
| remlabm | so do you recommend the drivers in additional hardware or should i install the ones from nvidia.com? | 22:18 |
| hash | endtype: all i can say is i used wubi to install on my windows drive and it messed up my mbr had to fix it with the windows disk and now when i start windows it gives me the option for win 7 or ubuntu which has no anything | 22:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: ok, what *exactly* happened when you ran "gnome-shell --replace"? please describe what you saw and pastebin any output you got in the terminal | 22:19 |
| narctix | remlabm what were the last 2 lines of your kernel panic | 22:19 |
| Joe42 | ok just a sec | 22:19 |
| hash | the ubuntu option | 22:19 |
| Joe42 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/986276/ | 22:20 |
| stars69 | hi anyone here run eggdrop under 12.04? | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | remlabm get the one from additional drivers, they ARE the nvidia drivers just packaged nice to gel with your OS | 22:20 |
| hash | endtype: imo the easiest way to do it is with an external something small like a 50 g should be more then plenty | 22:20 |
| Joe42 | thats what happened and, well i just got that it did not worked but again i can log out, log back in and try from gnome | 22:20 |
| endtype | for the iso | 22:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | alright, then you will need to log out and then log into gnome-shell directly (using the gear icon in the login manager) | 22:21 |
| Joe42 | i have a lot of running applications rigth now so it could be th | 22:21 |
| Joe42 | that | 22:21 |
| hash | huh | 22:21 |
| endtype | can i just mount it on a virtual drive and run it | 22:21 |
| hash | u can run the iso off daemon tools lite | 22:21 |
| endtype | sweet | 22:21 |
| hash | runs like a live cd | 22:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: lots of applications should never cause a segfault, it will just eat up more ram and slow down a little (if you run out of ram/cpu) | 22:21 |
| hash | idk about installing it off an iso using daemon tool | 22:22 |
| narctix | yeah the box should just crash coz swap is maxed | 22:22 |
| Joe42 | i dont think i just got a web browser and this window | 22:22 |
| narctix | not segfault | 22:22 |
| Joe42 | now, i donwloaded the ubuntu 12.04 iso file | 22:23 |
| narctix | could report a segfault though | 22:23 |
| Joe42 | i was planning on burning it and instaling everything again, | 22:23 |
| ironmagma | Hello, my server's fully qualified domain name seems to be wrong; `hostname --fqdn` just produces the hostname (in /etc/hostname) instead of the fqdn. What should I do to fix this? | 22:23 |
| Joe42 | i could back up the inportant files on the cloud and that would be it | 22:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: if that's not a big problem for you, then it may be the best course of action. It sounds to me like "something" is corrupted. either a package or a configuration (in /etc) somewhere. | 22:24 |
| narctix | hostname needs to be set to a fqd | 22:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: I would also recommend a local (other computer in your hous or ext. drive) backup just in case you lose access to your cloud drive for what-ever reason | 22:24 |
| Joe42 | ok then i guess il try that then | 22:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Joe42: alright | 22:25 |
| llliii | anyone tell if i can change the luks password later on after installing with whole disk encryption ? | 22:25 |
| Joe42 | i mean my computer is completley functional in gnome but i like unity better | 22:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | there is some more troubleshooting we could do, but if you think you can do a reinstall in fairly short order, it may be faster to go that route | 22:26 |
| Joe42 | so il guess il go with that, thanks | 22:26 |
| narctix | reinstalls the reason roll backs and backups exist! | 22:27 |
| jacobwg | Does anyone know how to change the default gateway interface on Ubuntu server? | 22:28 |
| jpsman | this is more of a nix question but you guys like a challenge right? Is it possible to scan a directory for a certain hex value BESIDES hexdump -c * | grep ab\ cd ?????? | 22:28 |

| jacobwg | My laptop is connected to wifi (Internet) and wired (LAN), but the default route keeps being set to the wired connection. | 22:28 |
| bastidrazor | jacobwg: #ubuntu-server may be of help. | 22:28 |
| jacobwg | bastidrazor: thanks! | 22:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jpsman: searching for a file with a certain value in its name, or in its contents? | 22:29 |
| jacobwg | bastidrazor: I really just need the terminal version of the commands - nothing really terminal specific | 22:29 |
| jacobwg | *server specific | 22:29 |
| jpsman | DarwinSurvivor, contents but HEX content not just text | 22:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jpsman: if you can escape the hex values, you can simply use grep | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jpsman: could ask in #bash too | 22:30 |
| jpsman | what like grep \xab * ? | 22:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jpsman: I think so, there's one way to find out :) | 22:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jpsman: is there any particular reason you don't want to use hexdump? | 22:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jpsman: the files are piped directly into grep, so there is *very* little overhead (grep would need to open them anyways) | 22:32 |
| jpsman | well if I hexdump -C * | grep ab\ cd then it doesn't specify the file in which it is found | 22:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jpsman: you may experience slightly more cpu usage, but the speed will be limited by your HDD's read speed long before the cpu chokes on it | 22:32 |
| whateverdude | not a single macbook pro user in here? :/ | 22:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jpsman: ah, that makes sense | 22:32 |

| remlabm | so interesting thing i have going on here. i wasable to uninstall the nvidia drivers but i do not hvea a unity bar? logged in like normal and i can pull up terminal but no bar | 23:01 |
| sckedsfed | zowsz: http://www.freenode.net | 23:01 |
| Loshki | jpsman: my bad, the regex tries to match the file name, not the contents. Someone cleverer than me will have to advise you... | 23:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sckedsfed: opera does not support h264 (does not matter if the underlying OS does or not) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video#Table | 23:01 |
| sckedsfed | :/ | 23:01 |
| trism | srid`: there are probably nicer ways, but when I create my containers, in the config I give it an explicit ip address: lxc.network.ipv4=10.0.3.100/24 , then you can: ssh ubuntu@10.0.3.100; (may want to ask in #ubuntu-server for other options) | 23:01 |
| jpsman | actually I think i might have it with grep $'\xab\cd..' * | 23:01 |
| jpsman | thanks everyone :OD | 23:02 |
| jpsman | er grep $'\xab\xcd..' * even :0P | 23:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sckedsfed: many of youtube's videos (if that is where you watch stuff) are available in VP8. other than that you will need to ask in #opera for advice running h264 in it | 23:02 |
| tyler_ | i am new to ubuntu/kubuntu so i have no idea how to use Wine or Play on linux | 23:02 |

| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: did the purge, ran the 4 commands, rebooted, still same problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986329/ | 23:04 |
| veebull | would it screw anything up to sym-link certain folders to sub-folders inside my ~/Ubuntu One directory? | 23:04 |
| veebull | like if I want to keep ~/workspace (for Eclipse) synced between my laptop and desktop? | 23:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | veebull: absolutely not, that's actually the recommended method of putting stuff in there that needs to be reference elsewhere | 23:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | veebull: just be careful if you put a symlink IN the ubuntuone folder that points somewhere else, I'm not sure if it will sync the link or it's destination | 23:05 |
| sckedsfed | DarwinSurvivor: ok thx... nad can you help me with flash? it doesn't work! :/ | 23:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !flash | 23:06 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 23:06 |
| sckedsfed | DarwinSurvivor: already did | 23:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hasenj: have you ever modified your xorg configuration? | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_: not all apps run in wine, you should check the appdb to see if the apps you want to run, will run | 23:06 |
| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: possible, can't remember. I started having troubles though only after upgrading to 12.04, before that it was running fine | 23:06 |
| jpsman | qui() | 23:06 |
| jpsman | quit() | 23:06 |
| jpsman | nope that didn't work :OP | 23:06 |
| veebull | okay... I was not sure as it seems like once I symlink ~/workspace on the desktop into ~/Ubuntu One, then I'd need to create the same symlink on the laptop *before* syncing it, otherwise I'd just end up with the folder in ~/Ubuntu One on the laptop, not something actually sync'd to ~/workspace? | 23:07 |
| zowsz | some ircop here? | 23:07 |
| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: though I did rm the default xorg.conf file and the xorg.conf.d directory doesn't have anything I recognize | 23:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hasenj: "sudo grep -R fglrx /etc/X11/*" | 23:07 |
| night_shades | i hate that ugly side panel on ubuntu 12.04 anyway to lower it to bottom right | 23:07 |
| mango_ | has Nvidia updated their drivers for Ubuntu 12.04? | 23:08 |
| sckedsfed | DarwinSurvivor: it's a strange thing... the plugin is recognized as enabled (also in flash-test-pages) but videos don't play... just keeps a black box! | 23:08 |
| sckedsfed | some browsers crash | 23:08 |
| sckedsfed | others show message "missing plugin" | 23:08 |
| sckedsfed | others show black box | 23:08 |
| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986334/ | 23:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sckedsfed: sorry, I have never personally had problems (other than lagg year ago) with flash, so I don't know how to debug it. perhaps somebody else can assist you. | 23:08 |
| sckedsfed | ok | 23:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sckedsfed: ok, and you ran the "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core" correct? | 23:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hasenj: ok, and you ran the "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core" correct? | 23:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sckedsfed: sorry | 23:10 |
| sckedsfed | :D | 23:10 |
| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: yea, though I ran it through wajig (wajig reinstall) which does the same thing | 23:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hasenj: wajig? | 23:11 |
| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: it's just a tool that aliases apt-get commands | 23:11 |
| Oer | sckedsfed did you restart your browser after installing flash? | 23:11 |
| linux | que hacer despues de instalar ubuntu 12.04 | 23:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hasenj: can you run it in apt-get just to make sure? It may need to rebuild the core executable | 23:12 |
| TemporaryName123 | Question- if I encrypt my HOME folder, is that the only folder where important information about me can be revealed? | 23:12 |
| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: I just did | 23:12 |
| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: though I think it's used a "cached" .deb file, is there a way to force it to download a new one? | 23:12 |
| wylde | TemporaryName123: that depends on what programs you use dump to /tmp :) | 23:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hasenj: ok, you may need to reboot as fglrx is possibly loaded in the kernel (causing X to try to use it) but the libraries are now missing. It's a long shot, but it's the best I can think of at the moment | 23:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hasenj: no, the cached deb file won't make a difference, it would have downloaded the same one anyways | 23:13 |
| TemporaryName123 | wylde: so other than home folder, /tmp folder can also contain information about me, are there any other folder? | 23:14 |
| === root is now known as Guest99782 | ||
| DarwinSurvivor | TemporaryName123: are you running any syste-wide non-default servers (apache, etc)? | 23:14 |
| TemporaryName123 | DarwinSurvivor, no I'm just using a normal desktop ubuntu no server | 23:15 |
| Alec | Hello. | 23:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TemporaryName123: also make sure you either has swap disabled or encrypted! | 23:15 |
| wylde | TemporaryName123: ^^ /tmp and swap yep | 23:15 |
| TemporaryName123 | how do I clear /tmp folder before I turn off my computer? | 23:16 |
| wylde | TemporaryName123: /tmp is emptied on reboot, but that data remians until then. | 23:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TemporaryName123: how much ram do you have? | 23:16 |
| TemporaryName123 | oic, I installed ubuntu with normal settings to it created swap automatically, how do I disable it? i have 3 gigs of ram I think its enough to handle mostly anything linux related | 23:16 |
| wylde | TemporaryName123: if you're the only one who can access it, and don't leave it unattended between restarts /tmp won't matter. | 23:16 |
| Aress | maybe someone launched League of legends through wine? | 23:17 |
| Alec | I'm trying to install XBMCbuntu on my desktop PC but whenever I try to install I consistently get the error "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" I've tried multiple distributions of ubuntu as well as usb slots to do this and multiple programs to write to the usb as well (unetbootin, etc). I've successfully installed ubuntu on this machine before with the same problems but do not remember how I fixed it. | 23:17 |
| TemporaryName123 | Aress, lots of ppl are trying to do that, no luck so far | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | TemporaryName123: There is no reason not to have a swap partition. | 23:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wylde: please pastebin the output of "mount" there's a decent chance it is using a ramdisk or encrypted /tmp already | 23:17 |
| linuxuz3r | you need swap partition for paging | 23:17 |
| wylde | DarwinSurvivor: ? | 23:17 |
| Aress | TemporaryName123 I launched it | 23:17 |
| Aress | but I didn't connect to pvp.net | 23:18 |
| Aress | I was so close :d | 23:18 |
| TemporaryName123 | Jordan_U okay I guess I'll just encrypt it | 23:18 |
| TemporaryName123 | Aress, yea tha'ts what i've been reading online ppl cant connect to server | 23:18 |
| Aress | But | 23:18 |
| Aress | there is ACE client | 23:18 |
| Aress | which is working around | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | TemporaryName123: If you use the Ubuntu installer's encrypted home option then swap is also configured to be encrypted as well. | 23:18 |
| === hspencer is now known as hspencer[afk] | ||

| Alec | oh, forgot to mention this live usb also works on other pcs | 23:19 |
| wylde | shhhh | 23:19 |
| TemporaryName123 | Jordan_U how can I enable that option without having to reinstall the ubuntu OS? | 23:19 |
| === zenix` is now known as zenix`away | ||
| Jordan_U | TemporaryName123: I think that "sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap" will do it. | 23:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wylde: sorry that was for TemporaryName123 :P | 23:22 |
| wylde | DarwinSurvivor: :) | 23:22 |
| Aress | Why riot team doesn't create linux version :( | 23:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TemporaryName123: "mount | grep tmp" and then post the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TemporaryName123: "mount | grep swap" will tell us if swap is setup correctly as well | 23:23 |
| === esm is now known as Guest67201 | ||
| Alec | Anyone have an idea? | 23:25 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, Instead of installing, try previewing. | 23:26 |
| Alec | That doesn't work either. | 23:26 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, Use the Drive Manager to make sure the drive you are installing to is completely unmounted. | 23:26 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, Well... oh. | 23:27 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, That was my wildest idea. | 23:27 |
| Alec | I really don't know how I fixed it last time :/ | 23:27 |
| Alec | I'm trying to make this machine completely dedicated to only video playing. | 23:27 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, Well, here's another wild idea. | 23:27 |
| tyler_ | with wine i get the same error | 23:27 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, Yank the hard drive and pop it into a different computer. Use the Live USB on that computer and format/install the drive. Then pop it back in the other computer. | 23:28 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, It's overkill, but it should work. lol | 23:28 |
| Alec | Can't do that, only other computer I have is my laptop :/ | 23:28 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, :( | 23:30 |
| Alec | Yeah, I have no clue how I did it before | 23:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Alec: the distribution you are using is not an official ubuntu derivative (it is maintained by xmbc). This means that we have no idea of knowing what changes xmbc made to the iso's or the underlying software. You will most likely need to ask the xmbc devs directly to resolve your issue. | 23:30 |
| Alec | I know, but I also mentioned I've tried other ubuntu distributions (actual ubuntu) and that didn't work either | 23:31 |
| Alec | Same exact error. | 23:31 |
| wylde | Alec: beyond that you could try mythbuntu which is supported. :) | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | Alec: That error probably means that, for whatever reason, the kernel can't access your USB drive. | 23:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Alec: ok, sorry, i must have missed that comment | 23:31 |
| Rurd2di | anybody know commands i can use in the motd | 23:31 |
| remlabm_ | ActionParsnip: Should i Install any nvidia drivers after disabling the nueveau drivers? | 23:31 |
| Alec | It works in my laptop though | 23:31 |
| Rurd2di | to say for example the username logged in | 23:31 |
| wylde | Rurd2di: the current user logged in? $USER no? | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | Alec: It's probably something specific to that hardware. I'm guessing that when you do get Ubuntu installed you'll still have problems accessing USB drives on this computer. | 23:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hasenj: I hope you issue has been resolved. Unfortunately I need to leave now. If you are still experiencing issues, perhaps somebody else in the channel will be able to assist you | 23:32 |
| === Guest6528 is now known as unknownuser | ||
| hasenj | DarwinSurvivor: thanks for your help, much appreciated, I'm still having the same problem unfortunately | 23:33 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, Just an odd question. Is the USB drive you're using a High Capacity drive (or over 4Gb)? | 23:33 |
| Alec | Last time I had ubutnu installed it worked flawlessly, no problems whatsoever. (same machine) | 23:33 |
| Alec | It is only 1gb. | 23:33 |
| Alec | I've tried a 4gb as well though. | 23:33 |
| stef1a | can anyone point me to a samba tutorial for setting up a samba server on a remote machine (via my local machine)? all of the involved computers run linux; none run windows | 23:34 |
| Jordan_U | Alec: You should be able to work around the problem by using the minimal install image. | 23:34 |
| cypher-neo | Alec, I was thinking based on Jordan_U's comment that it might be that the BIOS is rejecting the drive. Some BIOS's don't like booting from USB2.0 drives. | 23:34 |
| === muellis3 is now known as Muelli | ||
| Jordan_U | cypher-neo: Alec: That's not what I'm saying at all. In fact that Alec got as far as seeing an initramfs error means that the BIOS is handling the drive fine. | 23:34 |
| home | Guys, I've tried everything but I can't.. How do I install ATI/AMD graphics drivers the proper way?!? I'm gonna have to go back to Windows if I don't get know it! | 23:35 |
| Alec | Like I said before, I installed it previously (same error) with another USB 2.0 drive. I forget how I fixed it though. Jordan, I'm kind of confused as to what a minimal install image is. | 23:35 |
| Jordan_U | !minimal | Alec | 23:35 |
| ubottu | Alec: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:35 |
| Rurd2di | wylde: nah | 23:35 |
| === home is now known as decio_crytek | ||
| Rurd2di | that dosent work | 23:35 |
| decio_crytek | please guys, help me | 23:35 |
| Alec | Opening the page atm | 23:35 |
| TemporaryName123 | DarwinSurvivor, http://paste.ubuntu.com/986361/ idk, I'm thinking of reinstalling the whole OS, since I don't have that many programs installed yet anyway | 23:35 |
| tyler__ | every time i try to play assassins creed i get the error invalid parameters recived | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | Alec: The reason why it would work around this particular problem is that the image consists of only a kernel and initramfs, both of which are loaded by the bootloader before any native USB drivers from linux are started. Everything else is downloaded from the internet, so the installer never needs to access the USB drive directly. | 23:36 |
| Alec | Okay. | 23:36 |
| Alec | I'm looking to see if XBMCbuntu has one for it. If not, I'll just get the regular one and put XBMC on it I suppose | 23:37 |
| decio_crytek | does anyone in here help you with good question like Ubuntu's web site advertizes? | 23:38 |
| wylde | tyler_: if you're playing these games through wine then #winehq would be the appropriate place for support. | 23:38 |
| Jordan_U | decio_crytek: Have you tried the Additional Drivers utility? | 23:39 |
| tyler_ | well i am not running them throgh wine i am running them through play on linx | 23:39 |
| black_joe | tyler_, that is a front-end for WINE. #winehq will be able to help. | 23:39 |
| wylde | tyler_: which is a front end to wine | 23:39 |
| decio_crytek | Jordan_U yes. But I have a Radeon HD 4500m series and it actually runs worse on those drivers than on the open source native ones... | 23:39 |
| Jordan_U | decio_crytek: Worse in what way? | 23:40 |

| Alec | Jordan_U also, when installing, my keyboard seems to stop working when initramfs pops up | 23:55 |

| harushimo | hey everyone, I can't get any display to my second monitor | 23:56 |
| fpz^2 | lekremyelsew, that's odd. but what htop reports is what is used | 23:56 |
| harushimo | how do I access the video card information | 23:57 |
| lekremyelsew | fpz^2, Funny thing is, the load seems to be much higher when htop is running | 23:57 |
| bryguy_ | decio_crytek, i would maybe recommend trying LMDE or Mint Lisa (but Lisa is based off of Ubuntu) | 23:57 |
| fpz^2 | lekremyelsew, try normal top? | 23:57 |
| sckedsfed | harushimo: depends on your card. if nvidia, from nvidia panel... | 23:57 |
| lekremyelsew | fpz^2, same thing | 23:57 |
| harushimo | I can't get the video card information working. This card worked on ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 23:57 |
| fpz^2 | harushimo, lshw -C video | 23:58 |
| harushimo | I can't get the nvidia panel at all | 23:58 |

| RealEyes | my system reports is using 7 of 8 GB | 23:58 |
| Alec | Jordan_U, mini seems to be working, but my keyboard won't function :S | 23:58 |
| RealEyes | but im not doing anything | 23:58 |
| RealEyes | how can i clear the memory? | 23:59 |
| maheanuu | am running a 64 bit version of 10.04.4 LTS and am not finding any way to get java installed as the 32 bit version will apparently not run in the 64 bit set up | 23:59 |
| sckedsfed | harushimo: nvidia-settings | 23:59 |
| harushimo | when I do the lshw -C video | 23:59 |
| RealEyes | sudo sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches does nothing | 23:59 |
| sckedsfed | (with sudo, to modify) | 23:59 |
| fpz^2 | RealEyes, free includes reserved memory afaik too | 23:59 |
| lekremyelsew | RealEyes, free can be deceiving. http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html | 23:59 |
