[00:00] <sirriffsalot> Trying to do a "make" and I get "make: Nothing to be done for `first'"
[00:00] <actionParsnip> dr3mro: interesting, I'd try the sound troubleshooting procedure page
[00:00] <ubuntu_> txomon|home, Executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed.
[00:01] <txomon|home> ubuntu_, have you seen the link I mentioned?
[00:01] <amine> merci wyld
[00:01] <ubuntu_> txomon|home, yeah, checking on it now
[00:01] <wylde> amine: :)
[00:01] <dr3mro> actionParsnip, thank you it worked bu all it need after deleteing those files to log out
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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] <NfNitLoop> What the heck.  I just minimized a window and it disappeared.
[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] <Jordan_U> txomon|home: I din't understand your last sentence. Could you rephrase it?
[00:03] <wylde> KommaH: /var/log/syslog perhaps
[00:04] <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.
[00:04] <justin_> actionParsnip: thanks, any idea how i could find that out?  my specific problem is described here:
[00:04] <KommaH> wylde: Thanks
[00:04] <Jordan_U> KommaH: How did you "safely restart" it?
[00:04] <justin_> http://askubuntu.com/questions/126117/alt-tab-in-12-04-requires-pressing-enter-to-select-app-can-i-disable-that
[00:04] <txomon|home> Jordan_U, I pointed him to a page where he could see the link to reliable raid
[00:04] <dr3mro> actionParsnip, ok it seems not working the sound menu worked but no sound coming from the speaks
[00:04] <BlueProtoman> actionParsnip: Odd, works now?
[00:04] <Dj_KiDD> fuck it
[00:04] <justin_> actionParsnip: thanks, any idea how i could find that out?  my specific problem is described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126117/alt-tab-in-12-04-requires-pressing-enter-to-select-app-can-i-disable-that
[00:04] <BlueProtoman> I did nothing but reset.
[00:04] <escott> !sysrq | KommaH not likely unless you synced
[00:04] <Dj_KiDD> I'll just reinstall
[00:04] <xangua> !language | Dj_KiDD
[00:05] <Dj_KiDD> now I have two login managers and neither of them work.....
[00:06] <txomon|home> ubuntu_, http://www.simplysimple.info/installing-ubuntu-server-hardware-raid/
[00:06] <NfNitLoop> F Unity.   /me installs Gnome.
[00:06] <BlueProtoman> actionParsnip: Thanks anyway!
[00:06] <txomon|home> that seems to be more on your case
[00:06] <actionParsnip> BlueProtoman: maybe its just a bit slow today
[00:07] <BlueProtoman> ap: Nope. never connected
[00:07] <actionParsnip> justin_: maybe its the old compiz settings causing issue, if you default them, is it ok?
[00:07] <BlueProtoman> But a new problem!
[00:07] <BlueProtoman> My Numpad keys are taking higher priority than the letters.  E.g when I type M I get 0
[00:08] <actionParsnip> BlueProtoman: turn off numlock
[00:08] <Jordan_U> txomon|home: That guide was written by someone who doesn't know what FakeRAID is.
[00:08] <Dj_KiDD> fn+ some f key
[00:09] <PW-toXic> hi - i'm copying 670.000 files via copy and paste
[00:09] <actionParsnip> NfNitLoop: Unity is a shell for Gnome, You already have Gnome installed....
[00:09] <BlueProtoman> actionParsnip: Oops, silly me.
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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] <txomon|home> Jordan_U, you can also contribute
[00:11] <alusion> What does it mean when you put the ! before something?
[00:12] <PW-toXic> alusion, the bot will tell you some information about the word you paste after !
[00:12] <wylde> !bot | alusion
[00:12] <actionParsnip> alusion: it makes ubottu pay attentiom, she will react if she knows the factoid
[00:13] <alusion> That is so cool
[00:13] <actionParsnip> alusion: lots of folks ask the same thing, makes life easier
[00:13] <ZaNeIuM> how do i restart a terminal? like im using tty1 but now when i goto it its just a black screen even after a reboot
[00:14] <actionParsnip> !nomodeset | ZaNeIuM
[00:14] <PW-toXic> There are two processes called "locate" with my user that take about 80% of my CPU core each... whats wrong here?
[00:14] <Floyd42> Hi ubottu, are you related to HAL?
[00:14] <ircyop> anyone know why ubuntu would not accurately read my batteries power, but windows xp does
[00:15] <escott> ircyop, acpi tables
[00:15] <actionParsnip> ircyop: weird acpi gubbins...
[00:15] <wylde> ircyop: probably bitten by an acpi bug
[00:15] <actionParsnip> ircyop: do you have the latest BIOS?
[00:15] <ircyop> it's an asus eeePC 2g surf
[00:15] <Dj_KiDD> Aliens!
[00:16] <ircyop> actionParsnip, Probably not. I could updateI suppose and see what happens
[00:16] <ubuntu_> still getting the "Executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper/isw_jddjaejcg_ARRAY1' failed." error message
[00:16] <rlw> configure can't find libflac for edcast, libflac-dev is installed, can anybody help me please?
[00:16] <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*
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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 ?
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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] <FrozenMind> Casey - Can you supply specs?
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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] <NoobTux> wylde, how can i fix this thing?
[00:25] <Casey> ok ty what about xubuntu
[00:26] <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.
[00:27] <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.
[00:28] <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 :(
[00:29] <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?
[00:30] <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 :)
[00:31] <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] <Casey> well no
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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
[00:34] <jeffmjack> wylde: thanks
[00:34] <Casey> um one more question
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <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?
[00:37] <wylde> jeffmjack: that should work fine. The following factoid may help you :)
[00:37] <wylde> !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
[00:38] <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
[00:39] <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
[00:40] <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
[00:41] <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
[00:44] <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?
[00:45] <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
[00:46] <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?
[00:47] <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> however sudo mount -t msdos /dev/sdb /media/old5
[00:47] <Nicolas_Leonida2> says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb"
[00:48] <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"
[00:49] <escott> Nicolas_Leonida2, and what partition number are you trying to mount?
[00:49] <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?
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <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 =)
[00:52] <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
[00:53] <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?
[00:54] <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
[00:55] <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
[00:56] <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 :)
[00:57] <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
[00:58] <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] <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
[00:59] <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
[01:00] <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] <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?"
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <godutch> synaptic can search
[01:04] <LinuxMonkey> you can also look up packages at packages.ubuntu.com
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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)
[01:07] <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] <Nicolas_Leonida2> ok sorry
[01:08] <chicognu> Nicolas_Leonida2 you can buy a ide to usb adaptor
[01:08] <chicognu> :)
[01:09] <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?
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <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
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <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..
[01:15] <Nicolas_Leonida2> cool, will do that
[01:15] <wylde> wildc4rd: I'm sure that will change in time :)
[01:15] <wylde> err wildman330
[01:16] <LinuxMonkey> lol wylde im gonna start calling you the coyote!
[01:16] <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] <wylde> wildman330: ^^
[01:17] <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
[01:18] <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.
[01:19] <actionParsnip> athleek: dropbox is in the repos as dropbox-nautilus or nautilus-dropbox I forget which way around
[01:19] <athleek> ah ok thanks
[01:19] <LinuxMonkey> athleek: nautilus-dropbox
[01:19] <athleek> ty
[01:21] <X_SuBz3r0_X> hi all
[01:22] <LinuxMonkey> Mr wylde coyote you know the command for ubottu to give package name in channel?
[01:23] <wylde> !info foobar
[01:23] <LinuxMonkey> hehehe k
[01:24] <pippijn> hi all
[01:24] <LinuxMonkey> !info gimp
[01:24] <wylde> :)
[01:24] <LinuxMonkey> ok just making sure it worked :)
[01:24] <pippijn> the cd I downloaded does not boot
[01:24] <X_SuBz3r0_X> can someone please help me?....i downloaded 12.04 today...but i have problems launching the live cd/usb...it hangs every time at install screen
[01:24] <pippijn> I get the splash screen for a few seconds, then I get an underscore blinking, that's it
[01:25] <wylde> !nomodeset | X_SuBz3r0_X pippijn
[01:25] <wilee-nilee>  !nomodeset | pippijn
[01:25] <LinuxMonkey> wylde: you beat me to it
[01:25] <pippijn> I think it's about the kernel. I have the same issue on any kernel newer than 3.2.0
[01:25] <jro> I installed from a usb drive via unetbootin to a desktop with intel raid/nvidia.  Install seems to have worked but while the system is booting there is no grub menu etc, it just eventually shows the login.
[01:25] <wylde> ;)
[01:25] <jro> Is this a nvidia issue?
[01:25] <pippijn> can I make it more verbose so I can see where it stops?
[01:26] <wylde> jro: is ubuntu the only OS installed?
[01:26] <LinuxMonkey> pippijn: read above information
[01:26] <cvprog> i just recently updated to 12.04 and i noticed that it updated a package that i installed manually, from git and then compiled from source, is this right ?
[01:26] <jro> wylde: ya
[01:26] <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.
[01:27] <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] <pippijn> ok, I'll try, but I can boot kernel 3.2.0
[01:28] <pippijn> and I can not boot any more recent kernels
[01:28] <jro> wylde: I also get a error:spare file now allowed (press enter to continue)
[01:28] <wylde> jro: bah hang on, I'm confusing my self. lol
[01:28] <jro> any fix for that?
[01:28] <jro> it is
[01:28] <jro> you had ti right :)
[01:28] <wylde> jro: I'm not sure about that error tho. Sorry.
[01:29] <jro> *sparse file that is
[01:29] <jro> np tnx
[01:29] <cvprog> in 12.04 the logging screen lags, but unity does not ... ?
[01:29] <jro> you had ti right :)
[01:30] <jro> mt
[01:31] <LinuxMonkey> pippijn: also could be pcie_aspm=off
[01:36] <ring0> wildman330, for adjusting unity, there's a package called myunity, too
[01:41] <meLon> I have no /dev/video*.  What am I missing? >_<
[01:42] <actionParsnip> meLon: for a webcam?
[01:42] <meLon> Uhm, well, I'm trying to netcat mplayer :P
[01:43] <nmatrix_9> Hey guys anyone know the command to copy the file system from a device to a mount point?  Is it cp /dev/sda /dev/<mountpoint>?
[01:43] <meLon> nvidia0 I have that
[01:43] <actionParsnip> nmatrix_9: that won't work
[01:44] <actionParsnip> nmatrix_9: you will exither need to use rsync or rsync to copy the files, or use dd to copy the drive to the new drive bit by bit
[01:44] <actionParsnip> meLon: http://blog.schmitt.io/entries/netcatwebcamstreaming/  may help
[01:44] <nmatrix_9> actionParsnip: ok?
[01:45] <y0om4> i am having difficulty configuring my port triggering for my router. I want to allow identd. For outgoing trigger ports, I put server ports 6660-7000 -> 6660-7000  , and incoming open ports to 113-> 113 ... is that correct?
[01:46] <wylde> y0om4: AFAIK you only need 113 open for ident.
[01:47] <godutch> some buggy routers are opened on port 113
[01:47] <godutch> and it doesn't tell you
[01:47] <wylde> godutch: that's why I like grc.com shieldsUp :)
[01:48] <actionParsnip> nmatrix_9: you can make an iso of /dev/sda using dd too
[01:48] <linuxjones> hello everyone, i just bought an ati tv wonder hd 750, and when i plugged it in i got nothing at all, im pretty new to linux so any help would be appreciated
[01:49] <wylde> !tv | linuxjones - best I have. Haven't used capture cards in Linux yet myself.
[01:49] <Nick_Kaedalus> Hey guys!! Ubuntu installed succesfully. :3
[01:49] <LinuxMonkey> Congrats Nick_Kaedalus
[01:49] <wylde> *cheers*\o/
[01:50] <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
[01:52] <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...
[01:53] <LinuxMonkey> reflexrg: synaptic?
[01:54] <wylde> !apt | reflexrg
[01:54] <wylde> !find software-center
[01:54] <wylde> !info software-center
[01:55] <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.
[01:57] <LinuxMonkey> Nick_Kaedalus: does it specify what dependencies are not met
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <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.
[02:00] <escott> !pinning | Nick_Kaedalus did you pin it?
[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.
[02:01] <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.
[02:02] <Floyd42> marck: what graphics card do you have?
[02:03] <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?
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <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
[02:07] <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?
[02:08] <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
[02:09] <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.
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <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
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <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
[02:15] <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
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <escott> hash, debian or ubuntu-server are great. no need to install a gui (unless you want it)
[02:21] <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?
[02:22] <escott> maheanuu, sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda will print out text you can paste to us
[02:22] <escott> !pastebinit | maheanuu
[02:25] <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
[02:28] <alusion> Is linux on an SSD overkill?
[02:29] <escott> alusion, in what way would it be?
[02:29] <escott> maheanuu, nothing in /var/log/kernel.log
[02:30] <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.
[02:31] <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
[02:32] <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 ....
[02:33] <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"
[02:34] <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
[02:35] <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.
[02:37] <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?
[02:38] <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
[02:41] <maheanuu> escott, here is the stuff    http://paste.ubuntu.com/984710/
[02:42] <escott> maheanuu, look at kern.log in that directory.
[02:43] <wilee-nilee> ZetaRC12, hmm I bought the OEM set when under warranty for 30$
[02:44] <princethakur> is this chaat room ?
[02:45] <wilee-nilee> princethakur, ubuntu support
[02:45] <princethakur> oh! mean if i need any help using ubuntu ? i can come here ?
[02:46] <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
[02:47] <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
[02:48] <bazhang> !partner | princethakur
[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.
[02:49] <Kenshizl> I have a question for xubuntu
[02:49] <princethakur> wait ! ..
[02:49] <bazhang> !info skype partner | princethakur
[02:50] <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
[02:51] <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
[02:52] <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…
[02:53] <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
[02:54] <Stealthy> thanks escott, ironically enough, gparted finished right after I asked my question :P
[02:55] <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] <Kenshizl> I don't honestly think it's out of memory. Over the past day, I've only added about 2Gb to the drive, much less 30Gb.
[02:55] <Darkenvy> I need AFP help. Big headache :S
[02:56] <Kenshizl> I'd rather ot reinstall it.
[02:56] <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
[02:56] <sham> please help me!
[02:56] <escott> !aptlock | sham
[02:57] <Darkenvy> hey escott I remember you ^^
[02:57] <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.
[02:58] <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)
[02:59] <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
[03:00] <bazhang> !alis | sunilsusa6
[03:00] <Kenshizl> escott: I couldn't find it in the software center.
[03:01] <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
[03:02] <bazhang> Darkenvy, rsync?
[03:02] <bazhang> !rsync | Darkenvy
[03:02] <Darkenvy> no that just sends files off to another computer
[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
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <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] <Darkenvy> cool ill look into both of them
[03:05] <Areckx> I am able to boot into shell as root in order to attempt to fix all of my broken packages, but am having trouble using NetworkManager and the info and help screens aren't really telling me how to connect to a connection that's already saved. How do I connect to the internet usin wlan0?
[03:05] <Kenshizl> escott: did you happen to see which repo it was?
[03:05] <escott> !info skype | Kenshizl
[03:05] <escott> !info skype partner | Kenshizl
[03:05] <din> Darkenvy: rsync -azv /source/dir /dest/dir will create a backup of files into /dest/dir
[03:06] <Fat-Thing> escott
[03:06] <din> and if you use --delete it will delete extraneous files from your /dest/dir
[03:06] <Fat-Thing> how can i upgrade from 10.04lts to 12 lts?
[03:06] <Fat-Thing> what's the minimum requirements
[03:07] <Kenshizl> escott: what was that thing you just sent me?
[03:07] <Floyd42> fat-thing: just do a google search
[03:07] <escott> Fat-Thing, you should be notified when it becomes available (i think they are holding the upgrade for the point release 12.04.1)
[03:07] <Floyd42> fat-thing: i'd say at least 1gb ram, and anything faster than a p4
[03:07] <Fat-Thing> i see
[03:07] <escott> Kenshizl, its in a partner repo
[03:07] <Jatinder> What is the maximum RAM support f or 32-bit Ubuntu 12 Desktop
[03:08] <Fat-Thing> escott, how can i make a new fresh ubuntu 10.04 lts? i think i just kcufed up my distro now :(
[03:08] <Jatinder> What is the maximum RAM support for 32-bit Ubuntu 12 Desktop?
[03:08] <escott> Jatinder, with pae its like 16GB?
[03:08] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: How do I do it the terminal way?
[03:09] <Jatinder> WITH PAE?
[03:09] <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
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <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
[03:12] <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
[03:13] <wilee-nilee> ZetaRC12, the key on the units outside is not the correct one as well.
[03:14] <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.
[03:15] <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?
[03:16] <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?
[03:17] <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] <Fat-Thing> http://paste.ubuntu.com/984742/ <--- help pls i used chkrootkit and got error stating not install and then i installed it says it's been installed with newer version but yet i still got error running the apps
[03:17] <michalchik> How do I adjust the memory on flash games. When I rught click the setting panel just freezes
[03:17] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: So far the biggest I've come across is the home folder which is 219Mb
[03:18] <Floyd42> kenshizl:  eh??  You just said your home folder is full out of 30GB.
[03:18] <legasp> !nautilus
[03:18] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: /lib = 282M
[03:18] <michalchik> How do I adjust the memory on flash games. When I right click the setting panel just freezes.
[03:19]  * godutch installed flash by hand
[03:19] <ZetaRC12> godutch that had to burn...
[03:20] <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]  * godutch is surprised that this install is better than in the repos
[03:20] <phex0> hi, is there a place i can put a custom command for when the system is shutdown or rebooted?
[03:21] <undecim> legasp: I'm using 1GB on VirtualBox. Though I'm doing some stuff
[03:21] <wawowe> phex0: /etc/rc6.d/
[03:22] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: Did you get my last message?
[03:22] <Areckx> how do I connect to an autoconnect using wlan0???
[03:22] <legasp> wow lol
[03:22] <phex0> wawowe: i'm looking there, do i need to create a file?
[03:23] <undecim> legasp: And idk if that includes cache. It's with the "system monitor"
[03:23] <wawowe> phex0: yea
[03:23] <phex0> hmm....
[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?
[03:24] <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.
[03:25] <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.
[03:26] <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 :)
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <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] <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)
[03:29] <princethakur> such a nice name your "CHEEZ"
[03:29] <phex0> wawowe: yep, ty
[03:29] <princethakur> :)
[03:29] <Floyd42> kenshizl: check your log folder to see if the file sizes are huge.
[03:29] <princethakur> so how are you ! // what do you do ? developer or designer
[03:29] <bazhang> !ot | princethakur
[03:29] <Nicolas_Leonida2> is it possible to install Ps3MediaServer on ubuntu server?
[03:29] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: What log folders
[03:29] <Floyd42> kenshizl: if they are, then something is wrong with the installation and is writing constantly to the log file.
[03:29] <Floyd42> kenshizl: var/log
[03:29] <princethakur> ahahaa
[03:30] <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!

[03:32] <Floyd42> kenshizl: Aha!  Sounds like something's wrong with the installation which is causing it to continuously write to the log files.
[03:33] <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?
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <bazhang> !lamp | princethakur
[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
[03:36] <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] <bazhang> princethakur, downloaded from where
[03:36] <princethakur> trying .. but not getting installed
[03:36] <princethakur> from lamp website
[03:36] <Jordan_U> surt: The shutdown command should *not* work without root access.
[03:36] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: Yeah, Leafpad won't open it. How do I split it up?
[03:36] <bazhang> Pricey, answer my questions, please, using my nickname First
[03:36] <bazhang> whoops Pricey sorry
[03:36] <wylde> princethakur: why not just use the repos? If you're installing 3rd party stuffs it's not supported here.
[03:37] <bazhang> princethakur, dont download from 3rd party sites
[03:37] <princethakur> brb
[03:37] <surt> Jordan_U: I know it's a security flaw. I consciously made the decision to change it.
[03:37] <Floyd42> kenshizl: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/split-a-text-file-in-half-or-any-percentage-on-ubuntu-linux/
[03:37] <bazhang> princethakur, we're giving you links to read. read them
[03:38] <wawowe> Kenshizl: you can view the end of the file with tail
[03:38] <Floyd42> BRB
[03:38] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: So far it's just two: "kern.log" (15.5GB), and "syslog" (14GB)
[03:38] <Jordan_U> surt: How did you change it?
[03:38] <wawowe> Kenshizl: if you wanna split it: split -b 1MB syslog
[03:39] <princethakur> bazhang, please send me again
[03:39] <bazhang> !lamp > princethakur
[03:39] <surt> Jordan_U: sudo chmod u+s /sbin/shutdown
[03:39] <surt> Jordan_U: I think.
[03:39] <Floyd42> kenshizl: i sent you a link with instructions on how to split a large text file into multiple ones.  use that, split it into a file of openable size, and see what the error is.

[03:39] <linux> how to install metasploit?
[03:40] <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] <princethakur> ubottu, thanks i just checked
[03:41] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: brb?
[03:41] <princethakur> ubottu, every buddy is intelligent .. in there sector
[03:41] <bazhang> princethakur, stop that please
[03:41] <L3top> brb=be right back
[03:42] <princethakur> kenshizl, brb - be right back
[03:42] <Kenshizl> escott: any idea on how to fix it?
[03:42] <princethakur> bazhang, ok
[03:42] <escott> Kenshizl, without knowing what it is no.
[03:42] <Floyd42> kenshizl: geez.  don't you know what brb is?  it's one of the most popular internet chat acronyms -- Be Right Back.
[03:43] <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] <Kenshizl> Floyd42: Oh. I was thinking along he lines of terminal commands. Sorry. Of course I know what brb is.
[03:43] <linux> how to install metasploit?
[03:44] <Floyd42> kenshizl: see this.  better instructions: http://askubuntu.com/questions/54579/how-to-split-larger-files-into-smaller-parts
[03:44] <Floyd42> kenshizl: unfortunately, might take a pretty long time if its 14gb.
[03:44] <wawowe> split -b 5MB file
[03:44] <escott> Kenshizl, you dont need to split the file. you just need a tool like less which won't read the whole thing into memory
[03:45] <_Tristan> I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and now /var/lib is read only and apt is pissed...
[03:45] <wawowe> or tail
[03:45] <escott> Kenshizl, you could also use tail but then it may have to seek to the end which might take a small amount of time
[03:45] <djg> just got ubuntu dualbooted on my amd fx 8120 :) runnin sooooooo smooth
[03:46] <wawowe> or tac file | less
[03:46] <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.
[03:47] <quixotedon> Joelixny: problem with the graphic card driver then
[03:48] <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 ..
[03:49] <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?
[03:50] <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] <wylde> !pastebin | Kenshizl
[03:50] <escott> !nomodeset | TheAncientGoat
[03:50] <escott> !paste | Kenshizl paste to the channel please
[03:51] <_Tristan> Is it possible to fsck the / partition without rebooting? Dropping to single user mode or something like that?
[03:52] <Kenshizl> escott: ow my browser is crashing. This is just a mess.
[03:52] <Kenshizl> escoot: I meant "now"
[03:52] <escott> _Tristan, if you reboot to single and its mounted readonly yes
[03:52] <escott> Kenshizl, are you seeing the same line repeated multiple times?
[03:53] <_Tristan> my server is 3000 miles away and I have no kvm, so I'm not comfortable rebooting, as it's been acting up at boot lately
[03:53] <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] <escott> TheAncientGoat, safe mode includes nomodeset in the current configuration so thats likely part of it

[03:53] <FloodBot1> Kenshizl: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:53] <Jordan_U> _Tristan: Then you're pretty much out of luck.
[03:53] <Kenshizl> May 10 07:27:24 kenny-HP-d530-SFF-dg781a kernel: [    0.000000] ACPI: SSDT 000e82d8 0040F (v01 COMPAQ PNP_PRSS 00000001 MSFT 0100000E)
[03:54] <escott> Kenshizl, and it just keeps repeating
[03:54] <Kenshizl> Sorry about the flood, I wasn't thinking.
[03:54] <escott> Kenshizl, thats too early in the boot. its just reading the acpi tables
[03:54] <escott> Kenshizl, scroll down further. see that 0.0000000 keep going until it says 600.0000 or higher
[03:54] <Kenshizl> Should I go down a couple lines, then?
[03:55] <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)
[03:56] <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.
[03:57] <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
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <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
[04:00] <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
[04:01] <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
[04:02] <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?
[04:03] <_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
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <L3top> Never done it, dont fool with it, just dont want to give advice that blows something up escott.
[04:06] <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.
[04:07] <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] <Guest57412> is this a place to get help? :)
[04:08] <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
[04:09] <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.

[04:14] <Floyd42> kenshizl: cool, good luck!
[04:14] <princethakur> does it happening because of installation
[04:16] <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. 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.
[04:17] <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
[04:18] <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.
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <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] <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.

[04:20] <princethakur> ok best of luck kenshizl
[04:21] <princethakur> ok.. might be thats the reason  ! - rek_007
[04:21] <_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
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <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] <_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.
[04:24] <escott> _Tristan, mount -o ro /dev/sdX# /mnt/whatever
[04:24] <leafw> ubottu: thanks, bottu
[04:25] <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.
[04:26] <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] <leafw> escott: question is now what is the case for macbook 8,1
[04:26] <gutzmek> evening
[04:26] <carrotpicker> guys how do I install wine

[04:30] <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. I also tried nomodeset with no avail.
[04:30] <L3top> carrotpicker: Stop.
[04:30] <JelloPop> Openbox? users
[04:30] <escott> carrotpicker, stop it
[04:31] <carrotpicker> halp
[04:31] <carrotpicker> Okay i'll go. by guise
[04:31] <writelight> I was originally quit happy with Debian, but months ago it wouldn't support my third monitor and I crashed testing the proprietary drivers so I switched to ubuntu to get my monitors to work
[04:32] <L3top> Joelixny: are you using bumblebee or ironhorse?
[04:32] <Joelixny> L3top~ Neither, I set the biod to discrete graphics
[04:32] <Joelixny> bios*
[04:32] <JelloPop> writelight: dont feel bad was using arch linux box went down behind expermenting with test packages... :)
[04:33] <princethakur> how to add files to lamp ?
[04:33] <writelight> I was looking in my bios for options, but could not find anything relating
[04:33] <L3top> Check one of them out. It is a bit of a trick to get it to work without... The nvidia is still using the intel... so it is a bit confusing Joelixny
[04:33] <princethakur> can any one tell me how to use LAMP ?
[04:33] <princethakur> i have installed
[04:33] <princethakur> but now i want to install some files

[04:33] <bryguy_> I was wondering if, while running ubuntu 12.04, there was a way I could dual boot windows with it....
[04:33] <chipotle> L3top: both
[04:34] <Joelixny> L3top~ Last time it was a hassle, but I'll try it.
[04:34] <L3top> chipotle: It is a hassle regardless
[04:34] <L3top> sorry
[04:34] <mkquist> bryguy_: of course
[04:34] <L3top> Joelixny: it is a hassle regardless...
[04:34] <chipotle> L3top: what are the options though?
[04:34] <bryguy_> how do i do so
[04:34] <writelight> Windows 8 C won't allow me to run triple monitors without the display port plug and ubuntu does perfectly
[04:34] <Joelixny> yes, it appears to be. I'll try it now, thanks.
[04:34] <Kenshizl> Thanks escott and Floyd42! That seems to have solved it! I'm heading to bed, and I'll see how it is tomorrow. Thanks for your help!!!!
[04:34] <mkquist> bryguy_: already installed ubuntu?

[04:35] <bryguy_> ya, ive been running it stand alone for months now
[04:35] <writelight> I can't get high graphics, but at least I could see better
[04:35] <princethakur> writelight can you please help me to adding files in lamp ?
[04:35] <mkquist> bryguy_: then install windows then reinstall grub, cause windows will wipe out grub
[04:35] <escott> crf, dont specify types to mount
[04:35] <crf> mount: wrong fs type
[04:35] <princethakur> princethakur needs help
[04:35] <bryguy_> hwo do i do that?
[04:35] <L3top> chipotle: avidemux is a simple editor, cinellera is very advanced, very good... kdenlive is a nice in-between.
[04:35] <bryguy_> i dont really understand what grub is exactly
[04:36] <L3top> chipotle: sorry about my previous reply, was wrong nic
[04:36] <bryguy_> i have used wubi in the past and all
[04:36] <princethakur> writelight, are you into designing ? help me how to use LAMP ?
[04:36] <bryguy_> but im not on windows
[04:36] <crf> escott, if I don't specify the fs type, the same message is printed.
[04:36] <mkquist> bryguy_: why not just do that
[04:36] <mkquist> bryguy_: easier
[04:36] <JelloPop> bryguy_: grub is boot manager.
[04:36] <crf> it says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0
[04:36] <bryguy_> i need something like wubi but for the reverse actions lol
[04:36] <writelight> I am going to try out Debian Edu I wonder if that will allow my third monitor without the display port with the new release

[04:39] <JelloPop> writelight: graphics is not the issue the issue is driver support by linux.
[04:40] <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.

[04:41] <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.
[04:42] <newbi> JelloPop: its a challenge site.

[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.
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <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
[04:46] <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.
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <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] <Areckx> the manpages are not helping at all
[04:49] <L3top> !details | Gallomimia
[04:49] <crf> escott, thanks, I'll look at that report.
[04:50] <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".

[04:52] <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
[04:53] <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
[04:54] <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
[04:55] <Smallinsect> is an USB wireless adapter dlink DWA-160
[04:55] <bazhang> Smallinsect, thats the model name, but we need the chipset
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <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
[04:58] <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
[04:59] <Areckx> why is it so
[05:00] <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
[05:01] <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
[05:02] <Areckx> escott:  how so i do that?
[05:02] <escott> Areckx, i've never done it. its too hard
[05:03] <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

[05:05] <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
[05:06] <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] <escott> Areckx, sudo lshw -C network

[05:11] <Areckx> but now gnome
[05:11] <Areckx> is deleted
[05:11] <KM0201> ah... broken upgrade... ugly
[05:11] <Areckx> fricken iphone irc... annoying
[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] <devians> any other ideas wylde ?
[05:11] <Areckx> I can't
[05:12] <xangua> !upgrade | devians
[05:12] <Areckx> i have no usb stick and my
[05:12] <Areckx> cd drive doesn't seem to
[05:12] <Splooshie123> how do i reassign shift+alt+up (show all windows)? it doesn't show up in system settings
[05:12] <wylde> devians: not off hand sorry, you caught me just heading to bed. I'm sure others here can help though :)
[05:12] <REK_007> Areckx: mkfs is the command used to format HDDs from terminal .. otherwise use gparted
[05:12] <L3top> !enter | Areckx
[05:12] <xangua> Splooshie123: it's a compiz plugin so you need Compiz Settings Manager
[05:12] <Areckx> Inam!! it's my iphone being annoying
[05:13] <KM0201> Areckx: if your computer won't boot a CD, how do you expect to reinstall?
[05:13]  * L3top doesn't know the point of partitioning the drive if there is no install medium available
[05:13] <Areckx> I just want to fix it
[05:13] <Areckx> usb
[05:13] <Areckx> it might just be the
[05:13] <Areckx> cd

[05:13] <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.
[05:13] <Areckx> cd burner that isn't workingX I think the drive is fine
[05:13] <devians> xangua im using the server upgrade notes from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades
[05:13] <xangua> Splooshie123: it's the expose plugin i believe
[05:14] <Areckx> look, all I want to fo is connect to the internet, I could in gnome so I know it works
[05:14] <Areckx> what do i type into
[05:14] <Areckx> command line
[05:14] <L3top> !enter | Areckx
[05:15] <mrtaran> sup
[05:15] <Areckx> It's my fricken iphone keyboard, it's reall hard to type so can someone help me get online through terminal???
[05:16] <L3top> I have given you the link 3 times.
[05:16] <Areckx> it didn't help at all
[05:16] <Areckx> I tried using iwconfog but it keeps saying the key is invalid
[05:17] <Areckx> why does this have to be so dificult
[05:17] <Areckx> it does it really quick in gnome
[05:17] <L3top> Areckx: That is how it is done. Stop typing line after line. Your phone is not hitting enter, you are.
[05:18] <Areckx> it's an accident, I'm reall angry and i just want my network to turn on
[05:18] <AFschizoid> could someone pm me, complete linux noob
[05:18] <L3top> Just ask your question AFschizoid
[05:19] <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?
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <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++
[05:22] <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.
[05:23] <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
[05:24] <n12> Maccer: this is from livecd , gparted .
[05:24] <Maccer> n12:  Are you aware what's installed on those ntfs partitions?
[05:25] <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
[05:26] <n12> which partition i should install ubuntu in
[05:26] <n12> http://i.imgur.com/3sl8v.png
[05:27] <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] <Areckx> ok I keeping doing iwconfog wlan0 essid "wireless ssid" key xxxxxxxxxx
[05:27] <L3top> where xxxxxxx is your actual key I assume
[05:27] <Areckx> and it says invalid argument "xxxxxxxxxx" L3top  yes
[05:28] <L3top> and you are preceeding this with sudo Areckx?
[05:28] <kannudo> hello there
[05:28] <Areckx> i'm in root L3top
[05:28] <Joelixny> L3top~ Okay, having those numbers what do I do?
[05:28] <Areckx> I am in recovery mode and keep getting
[05:28] <L3top> Joelixny: just paste to me
[05:29] <L3top> erg
[05:29] <Areckx> an error about iwlagn
[05:29] <L3top> Joelixny: I am a goof... I need the FIRST number set
[05:29]  * L3top is tired
[05:29] <n12> Maccer: ok
[05:29] <EvilResistance> Areckx:  what error?
[05:29] <Joelixny> 8086 for intel and 10de for Nvidia
[05:29] <Areckx> EvilResistance:  microcode sw error
[05:29] <Gallomimia> who what? oh geeze i only wanted to ask what everyone thought of the sudo update. not a package i like to have just updated right under my nose
[05:29] <om26er> how can i set a different screen DPI than 96 for my screen? not talking about the fonts here
[05:29] <Joelixny> L3top~ 8086 for intel and 10de for Nvidia

[05:32] <Fat-Thing> am i allowed to ask something about rkhunter here?
[05:33] <wilee-nilee> Fat-Thing, yes
[05:34] <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
[05:35] <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?
[05:36] <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
[05:37] <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...
[05:38] <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
[05:39] <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"
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <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> *google
[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
[05:42] <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.
[05:43] <Fat-Thing> wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/984876/ <--- here it is....this is odd
[05:43] <L3top> oragsy: Sorry... XXm is background color, I said foreground.
[05:43] <windbuntu> in ubuntu 12.04 i try to play a youtube video in chromium and it keeps saying AW SNAP and then sort of apologizes for a problem? i then play the same vid in FF on youtube and it plays fine??
[05:44] <windbuntu> is their some problem with chromium/youtube in 12.04?
[05:44] <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.
[05:46] <Joelixny> L3top~ okay, thanks for you help.. I'll try to install Bumblebbee and see what happens
[05:46] <drag_> hi
[05:46] <DrAG> hi
[05:46] <Joelixny> L3top~ Is there a way I can boot Ubuntu to a terminal instal of the dm? That way it won't just freeze
[05:47] <oragsy> L3top: Could you link me to any good resource for the same?

[05:51] <AFschizoid> is it in the .bashrc file?
[05:51] <bazhang> DHAWAL__, you'd ask in #winehq
[05:51] <DHAWAL__> ok
[05:51] <Random832> actualy it'd probably be better to figure out a way to do the ouse settings fro linux
[05:52] <wordToDaBird[Lap> bazhang, ty

[05:55] <DHAWAL__> my mic is also not detected
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows a package to scan pctures from any device (negatives to usb device)?
[05:55] <bazhang> windbuntu, the package name is chromium? or chromium-browser
[05:55] <bazhang> DHAWAL__, yes, and the correct channel for that is #winehq
[05:56] <windbuntu> so far i tried chromium and chromium web browser
[05:56] <windbuntu> ok ill try chromium browser
[05:56] <windbuntu> shakes head
[05:56] <Areckx> ok found a usb drive and two dvdrs, going to completely
[05:56] <bazhang> windbuntu, and chromium-browser ? with the - ?
[05:56] <Resistance> remlabm:  you should download the version from oracle directly, and then build/compile/install
[05:57] <Areckx> reinstall 10.04 and create the
[05:57] <Areckx> partitions I need
[05:57] <Areckx> just need to wait for my girlfriend to let me use her macbook lol
[05:58] <windbuntu> ok it is sent bazhang but sheez it didnt ask me to actually explain?
[06:00] <windbuntu> so am i the only person here who has this issue? i wonder if this has something to do with 64 bit 12.04?
[06:02] <remlabm> Resistance: im trying to remove it and im getting that error

[06:10] <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
[06:11] <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] <dixoncx> Jordan_U: hold  on..
[06:12] <Resistance> panda81:  and outside of the pAE kernels, when people dont know whether they have 32bit or 64bit, then 32bit is recommended
[06:13] <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.
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <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
[06:16] <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.
[06:17] <windbuntu> i noticed it in when i try to pull up packages
[06:17] <dixoncx> Jordan_U: here: http://imagebin.org/212209
[06:18] <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..
[06:19] <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?
[06:20] <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.
[06:21] <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?
[06:22] <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] <AFschizoid> hm.  anyone able to tell me how to get the ADB running?
[06:23] <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.
[06:24] <bazhang> windbuntu, lets get back on topic
[06:25] <tenX> StarryNight: stability isnt a matter of system architecture
[06:27] <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
[06:28] <bazhang> StarryNight, ubuntu support question?
[06:28] <test> test
[06:28] <StarryNight> yep anyone uses magicjack under linux?
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> how come xsane can't see my device and lsusb does?
[06:29] <bazhang> lets move the arch speed conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[06:30] <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
[06:31] <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 :)
[06:32] <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] <StarryNight> yes but i am using a wi-fi only internet connection so hooking it up to other than a pc really does not work for me
[06:33] <KingKatari> hey whats the command to move all non empty dir's to another location?
[06:33] <KingKatari> i know mv
[06:33] <KingKatari> but what allows the moving of non empty dir's
[06:35] <Jordan_U> dixoncx: Please file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug network-manager".
[06:36] <evilwombat> Greetings. Are there older versions (say, v10.x) of the adobe flash player plugin available somewhere in deb form?
[06:36] <dixoncx> Jordan_U: ok, what are the terminal outputs to add in report ?
[06:37] <jm> evilwombat, old ubuntu repos?  snapshot.debian.org?
[06:37] <KingKatari> ?
[06:37] <Jordan_U> dixoncx: What you provided in your last paste should be good.

[06:38] <raptor67682> (CLI)
[06:38] <dixoncx> Jordan_U: ok, any temporary fix to solve issue ?
[06:38] <jm> I suppose ubuntu's equivalent of snapshot.debian.org is old-releases.ubuntu.org
[06:38] <KingKatari> hey whats the command to move all non empty dir's to another location?
[06:38] <KingKatari> i know mv

[06:39] <Jordan_U> KingKatari: raptor67682: Try asking in #bash.
[06:39] <jm> you could just rmdir * first
[06:39] <pouncer> trying to find a program to make a bootable usb of linux inside of linux want to do a fresh install

[06:45] <osmosis> how do I turn off the stickey mouse when going between screens?
[06:53] <overrider> I installed 12.04 and while i can move my laptops mouse via touchpad or click stuff, i cannot drag any windows; so click-hold and drag does not work. Any smart package i can install to solve this issue?
[06:54] <osmosis> overrider, that sounds strange
[06:55] <osmosis> overrider, did you do a clean install or an upgrade?
[06:58] <Dr_willis> You do have windows titlebars? and widgits in the titlebar?
[07:01] <Fat-Thing> Checking `aliens'...
[07:01] <Fat-Thing> /dev/shm/pulse-shm-4206816023
[07:01] <Fat-Thing>  <--- what does it mean?
[07:01]  * proxinix is bored
[07:01] <caesar__> i was about to clean install ubuntu.. is there a way i can backup my windows install
[07:01] <caesar__> for future restore
[07:02] <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.
[07:03] <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
[07:04] <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
[07:05] <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).
[07:06] <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
[07:07] <jackiechan0> Dr_willis> none  there thanks for answering
[07:07] <proxinix> !iso | caesar_
[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__
[07:08] <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?
[07:09] <Dr_willis> caesar__,  whats the term commonly used.
[07:09] <caesar__> ok
[07:10] <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
[07:11] <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.
[07:12] <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.
[07:13] <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. ;)
[07:14] <caesar__> so how would one get back if need be
[07:14] <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.
[07:15] <Dr_willis> You could just do a dual boot. if you want windows that badly..
[07:15] <caesar__> i was pondering dual boot
[07:16] <unknownuser> caesar__ dual booting isnt as scary as it sounds, its really simple to have two operating systems at once.
[07:17] <thune3> Fat-Thing: yeah /dev/shm/pulse-shm-4206816023 is listed as being open by pulseaudio, along with some other /dev/shm files.
[07:18] <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 ?
[07:19] <Fat-Thing> i just install some repo upon installing bt5 apps in my distro but i guess i went insane some apps are gone and not working is there a system restore? hehe
[07:19] <jm> what's the point in dual booting when you can run windows in a VM?
[07:19] <jm> unless you're intent on playing new windows games
[07:20] <pratz> any one please ping me
[07:20] <userprecise> hello people i have this doubt that my graphical card is not at all used by 12.04 . even vlc is taking 50% CPU!!
[07:21] <userprecise> how do i check and resolve this
[07:21] <Fat-Thing> thune3,  when i got to sudo su , i wont be prompted for password no more...how can i get that password thingy work before gettin into root?
[07:23] <unknownuser> caesar__ it is reversable, and wont harm any local files.
[07:23] <pratz> please any one send me a hello message or something
[07:23] <userprecise> Fat-Thing: sudo su -
[07:23] <unknownuser> but always, (dual booting or not) back up anything importnant to you.
[07:23] <userprecise> pratz: hello bello
[07:23] <StarryNight> nvidia?
[07:23] <Fat-Thing> userprecise, i know but it wont prompt me with password it will direct me to root
[07:23] <caesar__> i'm being told about clonezilla... is that a good option for my situation?
[07:24] <pratz> userprecise: thanks dude was just checking the notification for irssi client
[07:24] <userprecise> Fat-Thing: open a new terminal and it will prompt.
[07:24] <unknownuser> caesar__ may i PM you as to not flood channel?
[07:24] <caesar__> sure
[07:25] <userprecise> Fat-Thing: it has a timer. if you did a sudo operation recently it won't ask.
[07:25] <userprecise> in the same prompt.
[07:26] <Fat-Thing> thanx userprecise
[07:28] <userprecise> hello people i have this doubt that my graphical card is not at all used by 12.04 . even vlc is taking 50% CPU!! .how to check and resolve
[07:31] <thune3> userprecise: lspci -vvv and looking at kernel driver/module at end for video device could give clue
[07:34] <userprecise> thune3: sending the textfile.
[07:36] <BenNZ> hi trying to install the nvidia driver in oneiric , seems nvidia-current and the nvidia-settings program is installed , but when i goto run it i get that i need to run nvidia-xconfig as root , so i open terminal sudo nvidia-xconfig , program isnt installed , so sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig  , cannot find package , so how do i install the nvidia-xconfig
[07:38] <auronandace> BenNZ: are you installing the driver from ubuntu repos?
[07:38] <BenNZ> auronandace: yes
[07:39] <thune3> userprecise: i missed on that one
[07:39] <auronandace> BenNZ: did you use the additional drivers tool?
[07:39] <BenNZ> auronandace: nope i have to do it from terminal , i cant get into X , i tried from terminal with sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings
[07:39] <userprecise> thune3: sending the textfile.
[07:40] <BenNZ> auronandace: i couldnt at the time i mean
[07:40] <auronandace> BenNZ: oh, sorry i can't help
[07:40] <BenNZ> auronandace: surely the package still exists tho , i mean its kind of an important one
[07:41] <userprecise> thune3: under VGA it is Kernel modules: radeon . but  why is vlc taking so much of CPU?
[07:42] <jm> because it's VLC
[07:42] <userprecise> thune3: even flash on browsers take a lot of cpu
[07:42] <auronandace> userprecise: what cpu you got?
[07:42] <auronandace> userprecise: what file are you trying to play?
[07:43] <thune3> userprecise: you have opensource driver for ati, depending on your hardware you may be able to install proprietary drivers: seems out of date https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[07:43] <thune3> i'm not up on ati drivers and developments

[07:46] <nlici> only works with ubuntu 12
[07:47] <dkmt> hi~
[07:49] <hash> ok so i know this isnt the debian chat but quick question im installing 6.0.4 and it was missing a firmware which i downloaded to a thumbdrive in a tar can i just add the missing firmware into the folder
[07:50] <userprecise> auronandace: cpu is of asus 1215B  - AMD Brazos APU E350* 2 cores . 2 GB RAM.  32 bit precise running.   thune3 : have done a similar one. will repeat steps of that link
[07:51] <auronandace> userprecise: doesn't sound powerful, seems like flash would give it a thrathing too
[07:53] <mikimouse> dove sono i colori
[07:53] <userprecise> auronandace: half a year before i was running everything smoothly using 20% cpu on same configuration. what eiffel tower have they added to flash now?
[07:53] <mikimouse> ciao
[07:53] <thune3> i assume installer uninserts open-source module and inserts proprietary one, if not you may need reboot. when lspci -vvv shows fglrx you know you have proprietary. sorry i don't know specifics of brazos and fglrx
[07:53] <mikimouse> list
[07:55] <elgaton> !it | mikimouse
[07:55] <hash> so will putting the missing firmware into the folder work

[08:01] <thune3> userprecise: sorry, uvd, hardware decode of video streams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder i don't think (but don't know) if any linux softwares utilize this hardware feature, so decoding would all be done on CPU.
[08:02] <overrider> Whether we will get a Nvidia driver that gives better support for GeForce GT 630M card? I went out to buy a particular model of Laptop; couldnt find what i wanted and was too greedy to get a new lappy and now am stuck with an Optimus card :-(
[08:02] <L3top> userprecise: what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
[08:03] <overrider> Is i386 support for GeForce GT 630M maybe better than for amd64? I am using amd64, but even with latest driver installed it just wont recognize my Card under 12.04

[08:03] <userprecise> L3top : 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310] [1002:9802]
[08:03] <L3top> yes that definitely should work with the fglrx driver
[08:03] <L3top> userprecise: what problem are you having exactly?
[08:06] <L3top> nascent chances are you have PPAs installed, and some package from there is previnting dependencies from resolving.
[08:06] <userprecise> L3top: lot of cpu used for vlc and flash on browsers overheating and ocassional switching off. suspend/ hibernate not happening even with swap on. all these were not a issue last year on same machine on 10.04 (64 bit) but now even when i have 32 bit it's happening.
[08:08] <Senior> hi
[08:08] <userprecise> L3top: otoh with dual boot all these work fine on windows on same machine.

[08:13] <L3top> apt-cache policy package   |seca|
[08:14] <L3top> Or, alternatively dpkg-query -l package
[08:15] <L3top> Or, alternatively dpkg-query -l package | grep ^ii    is probably smarter.

[08:16] <|seca|> L3top: I just tried those per your advice. I don't see a path though.
[08:17] <elgaton> ZaNeIuM: command --help|less, then scroll with PgUp/PgDown
[08:17] <L3top> you need the path? I misunderstood... dpkg -S package
[08:18] <elgaton> cheryl: Works for me. If you tell me where you're from and the verion you want (32 or 64 bit) I'll search for a mirror near you and give you the direct link

[08:18] <cheryl> elgaton, 32 please and I'm in Wales, UK.
[08:19] <|seca|> L3top: Thank you so much. I'm not really familiar with the tools in ubuntu.
[08:19] <Aress> Where is terminal on ubuntu 11.04 ? :(
[08:19] <cheryl> elgaton, and thank you, I don't know if it's 'cos I'm on mobile b/band??
[08:19] <elgaton> cheryl: I assume you want the regular CD, not the DVD or the alternate CD?
[08:19] <wilee-nilee> Aress, ctrl-alt-t or in the dash top button left panel.
[08:20] <L3top> any time |seca|. you can also use dpkg -L
[08:20] <wilee-nilee> Aress, type terminal in the dash
[08:20] <cheryl> elgaton, sounds about right.
[08:20] <cheryl> elgaton, just realised only got blank dvd's, make it the dvd version plse.
[08:21] <Conradzz> Whats up?
[08:21] <Conradzz> anyone else running 12.04 out there?
[08:22] <wilee-nilee> elgaton, cheryl, the cd runs on a dvd now
[08:22] <Aress> wilee-nilee thanks :D
[08:22] <elgaton> cheryl: The DVD version just contains more software so you won't need to download it from the repositories. Anyway, here is the CD link: <http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso>
[08:23] <elgaton> cheryl: Let me grab the DVD link in a minute...
[08:23] <cheryl> wilee-nilee, well that's handy!!
[08:23] <wilee-nilee> Aress, you are welcome, enjoy. :)
[08:23] <lx42> Hey guys, been having problems with my NVidia raid at the moment; about once a week the kernel remounts it RO and I have to do a fsck on it. It just did it again, the dmesg output is here: http://pastebin.com/GhpgghEL was wondering if anyone had any clues what may be causing it?
[08:23] <cheryl> elgaton, don't worry wilee-nilee  says the cd version runs on dvd now! :)
[08:23] <Aress> upgraded 10.10 to 11.04 so everything looks new for me
[08:23] <elgaton> cheryl: Anyway: <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04-dvd-i386.iso>
[08:23] <elgaton> cheryl: The CD version should be just fine
[08:24] <cheryl> elgaton, is this a stable version? :)
[08:24] <elgaton> Conradzz: OK - first, did you install any proprietary drivers
[08:24] <elgaton> cheryl: Yes, it's the final 12.04
[08:24] <Conradzz> yes I did elgaton
[08:24] <wilee-nilee> Aress, it is a bit of a shock, if your not prepared. :)
[08:24] <elgaton> Conradzz: which ones?
[08:24] <cheryl> elgaton, And just because Lucid didn't work on my pc, doesn't mean this one won't, right?
[08:24] <Conradzz> fglrx the standard one, the other one wouldn't install
[08:25] <Aress> wilee-nilee something like that :D
[08:25] <cheryl> elgaton, I'll run it on live cd first....
[08:25] <Conradzz> I also installed the wifi adapter think it was the broadcom one
[08:25] <elgaton> cheryl: That's the best way to make sure it runs
[08:25] <ZaNeIuM> elgaton: how do you exit it
[08:25] <elgaton> ZaNeIuM: use the "q" key
[08:25] <ZaNeIuM> thx
[08:26] <cheryl> elgaton, ta 4 your help Allesandro :)
[08:26] <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
[08:27] <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
[08:28] <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)
[08:29] <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.
[08:30] <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
[08:31] <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.
[08:32] <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
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <L3top> Ok.... the two conflict Conradzz
[08:34] <Conradzz> thats the thing though L3top, the updates one failed to install
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <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
[08:37] <Conradzz> Is that possible from the recovery root?
[08:38] <L3top> I dont know. I am never in recovery root... I always boot live and chroot.
[08:39] <L3top> does recovery root have internet?
[08:39] <Conradzz> not sure, had an option to enable networking, but didn't work
[08:40] <Conradzz> either way, I'm using wireless, and I doubt it would enable wireless support, probably just ethernet
[08:41] <jaka> so...
[08:41] <jaka> how do I get some ubuntu help here? what do I have to say? :)
[08:42] <pieruccio> ciao
[08:42] <pieruccio> !list
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <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
[08:44] <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"
[08:45] <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
[08:46] <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
[08:47] <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: ..
[08:48] <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.
[08:49] <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)
[08:50] <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
[08:51] <L3top> Conradzz: you cannot run fsck on a mounted disk.
[08:51] <KM0201> what graphics device is on it connelly ?
[08:51] <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?
[08:52] <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
[08:53] <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
[08:54] <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
[08:55]  * 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
[08:56] <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
[08:57] <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.
[08:58] <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...
[08:59] <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
[09:00] <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
[09:01] <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.
[09:02]  * 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?
[09:03] <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] <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
[09:04] <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
[09:05] <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.. :)
[09:06] <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
[09:07] <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> :)
[09:08] <shazzr> Jordan_U: So if I disable RAID in the UEFI/BIOS...do I need to reinstall everything, or should it boot?
[09:09] <Jordan_U> shazzr: You'd need to re-install everything.
[09:10] <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.
[09:11] <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
[09:12] <rabbi1> Conradzz: that's ok, tried before askin :)
[09:12] <turkishhuman> turkish?
[09:12] <Jordan_U> !tr | turkishhuman
[09:12] <rabbi1> also, can't find the shutdown button on the user menu as well
[09:13] <Conradzz> I know theres a shutdown option if you click the power button on the top right
[09:14] <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
[09:15] <Jordan_U> shazzr: That would be the correct place to install grub, if you wanted to actually use FakeRAID.
[09:16] <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
[09:17] <Conradzz> I'm not running above 150kb
[09:17] <hash> shazzr are u doing a dual boot install
[09:17] <alo21> hi all
[09:17] <hash> conradzz ouch
[09:17] <hash> shazzr on a raid system
[09:18] <alo21> what program manage ubuntu interface.. e.g. gtk etc?
[09:19] <shazzr> hash: No dual boot. My harddrive is a RevoDrive with two identical 55 GB drives, that I think uses a sort of RAID0 to appear as one harddrive.
[09:21] <hash> shazzr ah i orignally tried a dual boot install on my raid 0 didnt go very well
[09:22] <caesar_> Tried installing ubuntu on my external hard drive.. when I boot  to hdd.. nothing happens. When I tried boring back to regular internal hard drive I get error
[09:22] <onats> hey guys, im setting up a single server in our office. but would like to have it virtualized. Can anyon suggest what setup to take?
[09:22] <caesar_> Booting *
[09:22] <hash> i have it installed on my external
[09:22] <hash> what is the error message u get
[09:23] <caesar_> I get error: no such device: grub rescue
[09:24] <Conradzz> did you format the whole external drive for ubuntu?
[09:24] <caesar_> Yes
[09:24] <Conradzz> and when you start your comp up, you choose to boot from that external usb?
[09:24] <hash> caesar thats on ur interbnal right
[09:24] <hash> internal
[09:24] <caesar_> But I'm getting this error when trying to boot my internal drive with Windows on it
[09:25] <Conradzz> you installed it wrong
[09:25] <caesar_> No
[09:25] <hash> u need to fix ur mbr
[09:25] <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] <hash> do u have the windows install disk
[09:26] <hash> or the recovery disk
[09:26] <hash> i think theres a cli on there
[09:26] <Conradzz> once you unplug that external drive, you should have no remnants of ubuntu
[09:26] <rabbi1> how to shutdown ubuntu 12.04 ?
[09:26] <Conradzz> like hash is saying, you overwrote your mbr
[09:26] <caesar_> I installed to erase entire disc and chose my external
[09:26] <kannudo> hello nearly-all-knowing peoples!!!
[09:27] <USER> #ubuntu
[09:27] <rabbi1> how to shutdown ubuntu 12.04 ? can't find the shutdown button on the user menu ? :(
[09:27] <Conradzz> you need a windows install disk, choose recovery, and go into the command line and fixmbr
[09:27] <Conradzz> top right corner rabbi1
[09:27] <KM0201> rabbi1: if you're using unity, it's in the top right corner
[09:27] <KM0201> or.. sudo shutdown -h now
[09:27] <Jordan_U> caesar_: What version of Ubuntu did you install?
[09:27] <rabbi1> Conradzz: no icon buddy
[09:27] <alfredo> shut down init 0
[09:27] <rabbi1> KM0201: sorry, gnome3
[09:27] <caesar_> 10.04
[09:27] <USER> can anyone help me with installing ubuntu server here?
[09:28] <KM0201> rabbi1: doesn't matter, that should work.
[09:28] <KM0201> (the command i gave you)
[09:28] <hash> yeah i had a similar issue when i installed i had to manually partition the external and make sure to select the external for where to install the bootloader

[09:28] <KM0201> lol
[09:28] <KM0201> that was kinda funny
[09:29] <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 ?
[09:30] <kannudo> is there anyone here who knows much about shell scripts?
[09:30] <Jordan_U> !anyone | kannudo
[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
[09:31] <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.
[09:32] <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
[09:33] <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
[09:34] <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.
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <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?
[09:37] <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.
[09:38] <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?
[09:39] <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.
[09:40] <Conradzz> ah, does it use your previous password as the encryption key?
[09:41] <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
[09:42] <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
[09:43] <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
[09:44] <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.
[09:45] <Conradzz> true jordan, I'm not too worried about it, I just don't want some kid grabbing my laptop and basically have the door wide open
[09:46] <Shanth> how to get transperent widgets like this http://i49.tinypic.com/a3357d.jpg
[09:46] <Conradzz> thats a badass desktop
[09:47] <rabbi1> my 12.04 hangs suddenly, even ctrl+alt+F1 has no effect ? :( any solution ?
[09:47] <Conradzz> that was my problem rabbi1
[09:47] <Conradzz> is it a hard freeze or can you use your mouse?
[09:48] <alfredo> [ FOUND NOWHERE ] ....Can anyone help me Out....
[09:48] <Jordan_U> Shanth: The stuff on the right is Conky.
[09:48] <sirriffsalot> What's the ls command for listing something containing specific text? Such as ".wav"?
[09:49] <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...
[09:50] <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] <llutz> alfredo: http://www.serverubuntu.it/SFTP-chroot
[09:50] <Blackshirt> Alfredo, what your problem with thant?
[09:50] <TorbenBeta> Has anyone sop player running and is willing to help me?
[09:50] <L3top> sirriffsalot: are you trying to find text inside of files?
[09:51] <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
[09:52] <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
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <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
[09:55] <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] <sirriffsalot> L3top: oh, haha... how embarrassing:/
[09:55] <fahmyboy> Hi All
[09:55] <llutz> sirriffsalot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[09:55] <alfredo> i tried using OpenSSh but I don't find any clue...port scan or ps .... but no evidence of SFTP-server
[09:55] <rabbi1> Conradzz: but i am not sure nvidia is causing the problem :(
[09:56] <L3top> rabbi1: are you on the machine with the problem now?
[09:56] <sirriffsalot> llutz: cheers:P Wanted to save some searching time;)
[09:56] <fahmyboy> I need to run some windows Programs, and have installed Virtual box with the intention of installing Windows to run those programs requiring windows
[09:56] <rabbi1> L3top: yeap
[09:56] <llutz> sirriffsalot: welcome to ignore
[09:56] <fahmyboy> can someone recommend which version of windows i should run and how much ram i should allocate to it?
[09:56] <L3top> rabbi1: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[09:57] <llutz> !details | alfredo
[09:57] <L3top> rabbi1: in a terminal. Please paste the output.
[09:57] <Conradzz> fahmyboy, well that depends which programs are you trying to run?
[09:57] <sirriffsalot> L3top: I keep getting "no such file or directory":-S
[09:57] <fahmyboy> dont yell at me, but I have a windows phone 7
[09:57] <fahmyboy> in addition to my galaxy s2
[09:57] <fahmyboy> I also have an ipod
[09:57] <rabbi1> L3top: 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C68 [GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a] [10de:053b] (rev a2)
[09:57] <L3top> sirriffsalot: put here what you are typing in a terminal
[09:57] <Conradzz> well sirri it sounds like you have no .wav files in that directory then
[09:58] <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] <rabbi1> L3top: fyi: i just completed, sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get purge nvidia*, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[09:58] <fahmyboy> ok, on my way there now... Cheers matey
[09:59] <L3top> Why are you using the xswat ppa rabbi1?
[09:59] <rabbi1> L3top: followed this : http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04-lts-aka-precise-pangolin/
[10:00] <sirriffsalot> Conradzz: oh, does it not go through all the folders from there and check? Will I have to do it for every folder with wav in them..?
[10:00] <fahmyboy> @Jordon_U out of interest, what does Wine work well for?
[10:01] <Conradzz> no I don't believe it does sirri
[10:01] <L3top> then there are no wavs in that directory or you are misspelling something.
[10:01] <Conradzz> for instance type ls into the terminal, and see what it shows you
[10:01] <L3top> no it does not rabbi
[10:01] <sirriffsalot> ls shows me a bunch of folders:P
[10:01] <sirriffsalot> No wav
[10:01] <Frank-Man_> Hi Guys, after the last Update will my the Network-manager connect my WLAN Connection a little late (30sec). Can anybody help me =
[10:01] <Frank-Man_> ?
[10:01] <L3top> you will have to use the find command llutz gave you
[10:01] <L3top> It is not recursive sirriffsalot
[10:02] <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
[10:03] <L3top> sirriffsalot: find ~/Music/ -type f -name '*.wav'
[10:03] <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
[10:04] <MisterE> thanks ubottu
[10:04] <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
[10:05] <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] <alfredo> g ....sftp <ip>...ERROR : connecting to <ip>  read from socket failed: conn reset by peer
[10:05] <MisterE> lol
[10:05] <MisterE> sorry ubottu
[10:07] <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> how to patch wine with this?
[10:07] <Aress> http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=25672
[10:07] <Conradzz> He's gone L3top
[10:08] <Conradzz> It's kinda funny people always use "no viruses" as a selling point
[10:09] <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?
[10:11] <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
[10:12] <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?
[10:13] <iceroot> !eol | alfredo
[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).
[10:14] <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"
[10:15] <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
[10:16] <Conradzz> thanks for the help guys
[10:16] <llutz> alfredo: check logs
[10:16] <matanya> wlan issues:
[10:16] <matanya> from dmesg: wlan0: deauthenticating from 14:d6:4d:f3:b7:68 by local choice (reason=3)
[10:16] <L3top> I understand what you are saying, I still do not understand why echo behaves this way.
[10:16] <L3top> Jordan_U: ^
[10:16] <alfredo> are there some links or forum  cahnnels specific to sftp on ubuntu...
[10:16] <llutz> alfredo: increase verbosity , set "LogLevel DEBUG1" and try again
[10:16] <matanya> I get disconnected every time I connect
[10:17] <matanya> on 12.04
[10:17] <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).
[10:18] <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> are there some links or forum  channels specific to sftp on ubuntu...
[10:19] <llutz> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html alfredo
[10:19] <L3top> I understand. Thank you Jordan_U and llutz.
[10:19] <Jordan_U> L3top: You're welcome.
[10:19] <llutz> alfredo: sry wrong link
[10:20] <alfredo> thanks LLutz for such informations....
[10:21] <alfredo> Frnds .... ifound this channel really informative....is there any way i could get the chat archive of this channel....whether i'm available or not...

[10:23] <alfredo> llutz thanks again...
[10:24] <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
[10:25] <macram> hi
[10:25] <macram> how was called the "cccleaner" like software in ubuntu?
[10:26] <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
[10:27] <cloudgeek> how to edit a pdf file any tool or trick
[10:27] <macram> cloudgeek, i think scribus would do the trick for you.
[10:27] <macram> look in the software center
[10:27] <alfredo> cloudgeek: foxit reader
[10:28] <llutz> _reader_ to _edit_ pdf?
[10:28] <cloudgeek> macram: okay , but i want make changes in alreday created pdf
[10:28] <alfredo> ok....LLutz now i shall check it out...and solve it....Thanks again....
[10:31] <macram> oh, cloudgeek
[10:31] <macram> sorry. scribus can't edit pdf.
[10:32] <macram> BUT you can convert a PDF to SVG with Inkscape
[10:32] <macram> and edit that SVG.
[10:41] <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
[10:42] <llutz> !resolvconf | ghost_

[10:50] <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?
[10:51] <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.
[10:52] <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
[10:53] <MonkeyDust> ghost_  restart the network daemon before you reboot
[10:53] <ghost_> MonkeyDust: with sudo /etc/init.d/network/interfaces restart right?
[10:54] <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.
[10:55] <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
[10:56] <llutz> ghost_: read the link ubottu provided you earlier. you can add " dns-nameservers x.x.x.x" to /etc/network/interfaces   too
[10:59] <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
[11:01] <Dr_willis> i alwyas just set up a dns server i want on my router to give out via its dhcp service ;)
[11:01] <Hounddog_> good morning... i am somehow lost... my netbeans is slow and lot of forums are suggesting to remove openjdk and install sun-java6... however any ppa i add is not found...

[11:34] <ksian> that just takes too long
[11:34] <ksian> I just need it to check for name, file size and modification date
[11:34] <morsnowski> have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync on the bottom is s list of aps that use rsync
[11:36] <ksian> but is there a way to configure it just to search for what I need?
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> ksian  there's the command 'find'
[11:39] <hsihsa> Hi all, need some help...i am facing an issue with 12.04, when i boot I get black screen
[11:39] <eutheria> wow has it been so long that 8.04 isn't supported any more
[11:39] <hsihsa> after reading few forum post tried nomodeset grub option
[11:39] <ksian> Sorry but I cannot see how can I synchronise directories just with find command
[11:40] <Rhonda> What can be the issue with precise not being able to start gnome-terminal? When I click the dashboard it doesn
[11:40] <eutheria> other than liferea what other rss readers are there?
[11:40] <morsnowski> ksian, find has an exec command that lets you do whatever you want with an indentified file
[11:40] <Rhonda> What can be the issue with precise not being able to start gnome-terminal? When I click the dashboard it doesn't display anything in the application menut at all, and with alt-f2 it doesn't seem to be able to run it neither …

[11:41] <hsihsa> now I am able to boot but screen display is not good
[11:42] <eutheria> i guess a better question is, which rss readers do people like other than liferea
[11:42] <eutheria> seems like liferea is the only that integrates into the message notify thingy
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> ksian  I must have misunderstood this: "search for what I need"

[11:46] <muh2000> how can i fix that?
[11:47] <Hounddog> i tried upgrade, tried fixing the installation and tried purging it also
[11:48] <morsnowski> Hounddog, not sure but sometimes a 'apt-get install -f' helps
[11:48] <muh2000> is there a "rc.local" file that will be used only after booting?
[11:48] <Hounddog> that's what i meant with fixing it
[11:48] <morsnowski> :)
[11:49] <Hounddog> sudo apt-get install -f ran it a few times and alternating with apt-get upgrade
[11:49] <morsnowski> apt-get upgrade -f
[11:49] <ayhan> hey everyone,
[11:49] <Hounddog> that i did not trye

[11:50] <shazzr> *downloading Ubuntu 10.10 to see if that version is able to boot...*
[11:50] <ayhan> is there a way to maintain the aspect ratio of the screen in ubuntu?
[11:50] <Hounddog> morsnowski: same..
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> ayhan  xrandr ?
[11:50] <Hounddog> if i could at least get rid of this package
[11:50] <rokr1> Hi there I got problem with indicator-datetime-service
[11:51] <rokr1> memory leak
[11:51] <ayhan> @monkeydust, what?
[11:51] <rokr1> it fills all my 16GiB ram
[11:51] <Hounddog> sudo apt-get remove --purge oracle-java7-installer this is what i tried last
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> hello
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> I have a problem with Transmission
[11:51] <morsnowski> Hounddog, dpkg -P <package> purges it
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> cannot log in a torrent tracker
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> i.e.
[11:51] <eutheria> weird something has caused liferea to stop updating
[11:51] <Hounddog> morsnowski: let's see :)
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> I get a torrent, and it doesnt start downloading
[11:51] <eutheria> or more to the point displaying anything
[11:52] <ihjiuzvv> they told me to disable dht/pex
[11:52] <rokr1> any solution ?
[11:52] <ihjiuzvv> whats going on, somebody knows ?
[11:52] <MonkeyDust> ayhan  just noticed: xrandr is for dual screens, it's different
[11:52] <rokr1> Debian was better
[11:52] <MyWay> oh solved, in 12.04 you need to hold alt to edit the panel TT
[11:52] <Hounddog> morsnowski: nope...
[11:52] <Hounddog> same output
[11:52] <Stanley00> !enter | ihjiuzvv just do what it said and please :
[11:53] <morsnowski> hmm I'm out then :(
[11:53] <ayhan> so is there another way to maintain the aspect ratio?
[11:53] <Hounddog> morsnowski: thx anyway...
[11:54] <kelvinella> is iphone or ipod no longer automount in ubuntu?
[11:54] <ihjiuzvv> ok, sorry, my mistake

[11:55] <rokr1> no use bye
[11:55] <Hounddog> maybee in debian someone can help...
[11:56] <morsnowski> kelvinella, check libimobiledevice
[11:58] <Nemernicul> hi hi
[11:58] <Nemernicul> got small problem with calibre
[11:59] <Nemernicul> pop up balloons are hard to read
[11:59] <Nemernicul> font and background collor needs change
[12:00] <Nemernicul> anyone know where to change it?
[12:02] <Rhonda> How can I get rid of compiz? It seems to be a bit memory hungry and I only have 500 megs of ram …
[12:02] <Rhonda> Hounddog: in
[12:03] <rokr1> Hi guys
[12:03] <ayhan> Rhonda: go to software center, search for compiz and remove
[12:03] <Hounddog> Rhonda: ?
[12:03] <Rhonda> Hounddog: in #debian they don't support ubuntu :)
[12:03] <Hounddog> Rhonda: yeah, stuck in their own little world ;)
[12:03] <dzocrnanula> compiz process is using 15% of my processor all the time and that is causing my laptop to get really hot.. are there any configurations to change? using ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on my HP laptop with intel pentium p6200 processor, 2gb of ram and amd radeon hd 6300m series.
[12:03] <Rhonda> ayhan: I would think it is some required dependency …
[12:03] <Hounddog> morsnowski: i got it out finally...
[12:04] <morsnowski> Hounddog, great how did you do it?
[12:04] <Rhonda> Hounddog: That's not the issue.  Debian is in specific parts different enough that they usually can't help.  Or rather, Ubuntu is different, depending on your point of view.
[12:04] <Hounddog> morsnowski:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/126372/sha256sum-mismatch-jdk-7u3-linux-x64-tar-gz-error-when-trying-to-install-orac
[12:04] <Hounddog> Rhonda: stuck in the apt-get/dpkg cannot be so entirely different
[12:04] <Rhonda> Hounddog: That "little world" attitude has nothing to do with it and is misleading.
[12:04] <morsnowski> Hounddog, nice
[12:05] <Hounddog> morsnowski: so manually removing some files works
[12:05] <rokr1> I accidentally removed all ubuntu components
[12:05] <Rhonda> Hounddog: Well, it is, often enough.  Different dependencies, packages built slightly different, different resolvers.
[12:05] <rokr1> using apt-get purge ubuntu*
[12:05] <rokr1> apt is now broken
[12:05] <rokr1> is there anyway to recover
[12:05] <rokr1> ?
[12:05] <ayhan> i want to change the resolution of the screen, but the options available are too little, how could i get the resolution i want?
[12:05] <Hounddog> Rhonda: was not even asking about installing a package anymore... just wanted to get rid of it
[12:06] <itaylor57> rokr1, reinstall?
[12:06] <ubuntunobody> hi, how do you enable animated progressbars in gtk3? I'm using the adwaita theme and progressbars looks extremely choppy
[12:06] <dodeledoo> Wow, why is #ubuntu so MASSIVE?
[12:07] <morsnowski> dodeledoo, because it is
[12:08] <dodeledoo> wtf kind of lame455 answer is "because it is?"
[12:08] <Vile`> what kind of question was yours ?
[12:08] <Rhonda> Hounddog: Same difference.
[12:08] <rokr1> no other way ?
[12:08] <eutheria> dodeledoo, because it isn't?
[12:08] <auronandace> dodeledoo: perhaps its because of the level of interest in ubuntu
[12:08] <Rhonda> rokr1: What all did it remove?  If you haven't checked the list before accepting, why not?
[12:08] <dodeledoo> I thought WIndows was the most popular OS
[12:08] <eutheria> the answer might be 42, but the question is wrong
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> dodeledoo  did you have a support question?
[12:09] <eutheria> dodeledoo, not on an open source irc network
[12:09] <dodeledoo> MonkeyDust: Yeah, how do I install Ubuntu's top-tier edition?
[12:09] <Rhonda> rokr1: You could manually download the missing package and install it with dpkg.
[12:09] <eutheria> his question is what is green and lives under a bridge, a troll
[12:09] <dodeledoo> And can it be installed concurrently with Windows 7?
[12:09] <morsnowski> dodeledoo, yes it can no problem
[12:09] <Rhonda> rokr1: Of course there are ways to fix it - but that depends on what exactly is broken.
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> !install | dodeledoo
[12:10] <jo-erlend> what's the easiest way to watch all network traffic from/to a single IP in my network?
[12:10] <morsnowski> jo-erlend, wireshark
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> jo-erlend  try lsof
[12:10]  * eutheria gets a stick and beats liferea
[12:10] <Rhonda> jo-erlend: tcpdump
[12:10] <rokr1> I still have aptitude functional
[12:11] <Rhonda> rokr1: Then apt can't be broken because aptitude uses apt, as the name suggests
[12:11] <Daiz_> Anyone here know how to get the Build-essential apt on kubuntu 12.04 without an internet connection? It doesn't seems to be on my livecd, or atleast moun won't find it.
[12:11] <eutheria> i wonder if it is my gtk theme that is messing up liferea
[12:11] <Rhonda> Daiz_: No surprise on that because a livecd isn't meant for development. :)
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> eutheria  i use it too, whats the issue?
[12:12] <Daiz_> Yea, it's just tough trying to compile the network driver for kubuntu without the tools to do so. :(
[12:13] <danmar> hi! I bought a toshiba satellite today. I just installed ubuntu 12.04. My wireless networking doesn't work.
[12:13] <danmar> Can somebody help me?
[12:13] <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
[12:14] <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
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <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
[12:18] <Stanley00> danmar: well, then we need some info, please run lspci -k  and pastebin the result
[12:18] <Daiz_> is there any way to get the tools to compile drivers, even if the pc doesn't have internet connection? can't find a .deb package with them.
[12:18] <Nemernicul> so is anyone using calibre here?
[12:18] <rokr1> danmar: you can even download it with ethernet connection
[12:18] <fwisses> Oh, thank God you guys are here. I'm... I'm scared. I launched gparted the other day and shrunk my data partition a couple of gigs. Then I used the power settings and TRIED to get it not to suspend when I closed the lid. No go. So  figured I could just suspend it and start it up later.
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> eutheria  delete ~/.liferea_1.8/ => be careful, you lose all settings
[12:19] <sirriffsalot> When someone tells me to get the dssi plugins for softsynths, I always get confused by what exactly I need... There are so many "dssi" packages, same with so many other things I want to install. Could someone explain what I am missing here?:P
[12:19] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, like i said i've done that and the .gconf settings
[12:19] <fwisses> This morning I wake up, open up the laptop, and there's a black screen with the mouse pointer able to move. So I wait. I realize it won't load anytime soon.
[12:19] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, you only lose the feeds, the main config is under .gconf/apps/liferea
[12:19] <fwisses> SO I go to my 'tty's, type in top
[12:19] <jo-erlend> morsnowski, wireshark tells me no interfaces can be used.. On all my boxes.
[12:20] <morsnowski> logout and in again
[12:20] <fwisses> ALL my processes were sleeping.
[12:20] <fwisses> how do I wake them up?
[12:20] <morsnowski> wireshark puts you in the right group but you only get access after you login again
[12:21] <amine> pour koi  sa marche pas pour conecter sur ubuntu.fr
[12:21] <LjL> !fr | amine
[12:21] <morsnowski> '/join ubuntu.fr'
[12:21] <fwisses> So is there a way to 'wake up' processes? And is it safe? If gparted gets canceled or breaks, my data's gone.

[12:24] <eutheria> is it gconf i need to install to edit my gnome settings?
[12:24] <eutheria> i think liferea must store some extra config in a registry type system
[12:24] <stars69> good morning anyone know where is the path for desktop sharing application under? /etc?
[12:25] <sirriffsalot> When someone tells me to get the dssi plugins for softsynths, I always get confused by what exactly I need... There are so many "dssi" packages, same with so many other things I want to install. Could someone explain what I am missing here?:P :P
[12:25] <Stanley00> danmar: hmm, can you please run this command "lsmod" and "ifconfig -a"
[12:25] <Rhonda> eutheria: gconf-editor
[12:25] <Hounddog>  i have been following this now http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en#repo through the repository to install java... but if i look in /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/

[12:25] <fwisses> stars69: Search /usr
[12:25] <eutheria> thank you Rhonda just found it :)
[12:25] <stars69> fwisses, thanks
[12:25] <eutheria> yes there is config in there
[12:26] <eutheria> hmm how do i delete an entry
[12:28] <danmar> Stanley00: lsmod => http://pastebin.com/Dxi6PKtR
[12:28] <Rhonda> eutheria: Did you try right-click on it?
[12:28] <eutheria> Rhonda, yep

[12:29] <fwisses> Is there a way to wake my sleeping processes?
[12:30] <danmar> I hope I have enabled the wireless network properly. I have a button to toggle it on the keyboard. The wireless network lamp is yellow now.
[12:30] <morsnowski> amine,  '/join #ubuntu.fr'
[12:30] <fwisses> Everything except for top is sleeping, and my gpartee is doing something important. I can't just kill it.

[12:31] <Hounddog> now i do not know where to point netbeans too...
[12:31] <Hounddog> can't find where the jre has installed itself
[12:31] <jackiechan0> how can i check the chipset and the socket of my motherboard, i would like to upgrade my CPU
[12:31] <Stanley00> danmar: you can test by running "rfkill list" and check that soft and hard lock is no for your wireless
[12:32] <danmar> Stanley00: ok.. I'll try
[12:32] <Stanley00> Hounddog: you installed via apt-get, right?
[12:32] <thresh> hi. how do I enable text-mode install on ubuntu 12.04 64bit cd?
[12:32] <Hounddog> Stanley00: yes, according to those instructions
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> !text| thresh
[12:33] <thresh> looks like ubuntu chooses something weird to display X on. I'm on nvidia gtx550 ti with hdmi connected HDTV on Asus P8Z77 motherboard.
[12:33] <Stanley00> Hounddog: then, dpkg -L <package-name> will list installed file
[12:33] <danmar> I only see info about my Bluetooth (that is blocked by intention). No info about my wireless.
[12:33] <Hounddog> Stanley00: thx, let me see
[12:33] <thresh> I'm not sure CD installer uses grub now does it?
[12:33] <action09> hi
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> thresh  i missed that part in your question
[12:35] <furycd001> Guys does anyone here know how i can change the logon wallpaper :?
[12:35] <phkaham> Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. How do I mount SD card?
[12:35] <Hounddog> Stanley00: hmmm doesn't look like it, as i understand it is only a script which then installs the java
[12:35] <action09> on 12.04, i actually have ubuntu classic 2D, i tried unity and gnome shell but i don't like them; My question is can i use another desktop/window managers ? like xfce, Cinnamon..etc easily ? and so choose to go back to gnome classic if i want ?
[12:35] <Stanley00> danmar: it's very strange to me, as I know, realtek wireless work well with ubuntu. Sorry, but I think I can't help you more.
[12:35] <jo-erlend> morsnowski, it was not sufficient to log out and back in.
[12:36] <action09> question seems simple but i just want to know if there will not be conflicts..
[12:36] <thresh> looks like I can press ESC to choose between stuff to load. trying nomodeset now...
[12:36] <danmar> Stanley00: ok thanks for your effort so far.
[12:36] <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] <Stanley00> danmar: you are welcome,
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> eutheria  great, but what file exactly? for future reference
[12:38] <Trieste> Hi, I'm using Kubuntu 12.04, and when I log in, I get this bastard of an error: http://i.imgur.com/GP7Db.png (the whole message could never fit on my monitor, it's as long as the image, but only the part that was on my screen is visible) - any idea on how to fix this?
[12:38] <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
[12:40] <lelamal> Trieste: join #kubuntu
[12:40] <Trieste> oh, okay, thanks :)
[12:42] <Hounddog> looks like i found it finally
[12:42] <Hounddog> but netbeans is still fricking slow
[12:45] <curiousx> aloha all
[12:45] <Hounddog> file opens under 20 seconds in netbeans... it's fun trying to work like that...
[12:54] <fabi_an> hi, i just tried to remote-upgrade a 10.04 server to 12.04 to see what happens. I don't have easy physical access, but it's not that far away
[12:54] <ashwanilabs> hello guys
[12:54] <KM0201> fabi_an: wow, thats ballsy
[12:55] <fabi_an> my problem is that it's a LVM on RAID5 without boot-partition and now grub doesn't fit anzmore
[12:55] <fabi_an> is there a way to either downgrade grub or use less modules that aren't needed or repartition the disk?
[12:55] <sotrudnik> I have a problem in Ubuntu LibreOffice Base; it says "Report Builder is not installed" when I'm trying to open any Report
[12:55] <sotrudnik> I installed .oxf (or whatever it is called) http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-extensions/files/79/10/oracle-report-builder.oxt
[12:55] <sotrudnik> after that, Base started to say "loading library component failed"
[12:56] <fabi_an> KM0201: :) i now, but i do that on not critical servers, because i'm interested in how the distros are prepared. I'm disappointed that LTS->LTS isn't stable.
[12:56] <KM0201> fabi_an: lts>lts should be fine (although i think it was recommended to wait until 12.04.1
[12:56] <phkaham> How do I mount SD card?
[12:57] <fabi_an> KM0201: true that, it even said so in the manpage or somewhere.
[12:57] <sotrudnik> phkaham: usually it is auto-mounted
[12:57] <fabi_an> KM0201: nevertheless, any thing i can do about my grub before trying to reboot
[12:57] <fabi_an> ?
[12:57] <ring1> fabi_an, on a server always wait for the first point release :)
[12:58] <phkaham> sotrudnik, nothing happend when i put it in.
[12:58] <sotrudnik> phkaham: try `dmesg' command
[13:00] <itaylor57> KM0201, o/
[13:00] <KM0201> itaylor57: o/
[13:02] <phkaham> sotrudnik, that didn't tell me anything. :=)
[13:02] <sotrudnik> according to this -- http://www.libreoffice.org/features/extensions/ -- Report Builder must be included in LibreOffice, right?
[13:03] <sotrudnik> I'm using LibreOffice 3.5.3.2
[13:03] <sotrudnik> so this is a bug, right?
[13:11] <erealz> anyone know of a program that will show my connected ip address ap in the menue bar  like applets or somthing
[13:12] <Chuck_Norris> erealz: in gnome shell there is a pluginfor that
[13:12] <erealz> what it called chuck
[13:12] <ksian> how can I hide Join/left messages from empathy
[13:12] <ksian> ?
[13:12] <Chuck_Norris> let me search it i runing ubuntu 10.04 now =P
[13:14] <Fat-Thing> what is nacl_helper? i got it on my process and it seems i can't kill it :(
[13:14] <azimut> problem: "The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems. [...]" aptitude update gives several errors, the first one "Err http://de.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric/restricted Sources  404  Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.20 80]" any ide?
[13:15] <Blarrffll> azimut: If you try opening http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ from a web browser on the same machine, does it open ?
[13:15] <Jazanyc>  need help with digital sound in ubuntu can anyone help?
[13:16] <azimut> Blarrffll: I can access http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ from firefox
[13:17] <MonkeyDust> !ask| Jazanyc
[13:17] <azimut> The question is where 'oneiric/restricted' is located exactly and if it is accessible
[13:18] <Chuck_Norris> erealz: some like that? https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/52/netmonitor/
[13:19] <Blarrffll> azimut: does apt-get update give the same result?
[13:20] <azimut> Blarrffll: Yes
[13:20] <Jazanyc> what is !patience?
[13:20] <azimut> Before the first error, i get several lines like 'Hit http://de.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric-backports/universe Translation-en'
[13:21] <azimut> these seem to work, starting with 'oneiric/restricted' the problems start
[13:22] <mun> hi
[13:23] <Jazanyc> can't get digital sound to work, tried many forums in wiki and no luck can anyone point me in the right direction?
[13:23] <mun> what's a good software to use for scanning multiple pages? i remember it wasn't simplescan, but forgot its name.
[13:23] <Unkn0wn> mun: you me xsane?
[13:23] <Unkn0wn> *mean
[13:23] <mun> Unkn0wn, there doesn't seem to be an option for multiple pages though it seems
[13:24] <mun> oh yes it does
[13:24] <mun> multipage
[13:24] <mun> yes that's right
[13:24] <mun> thanks!
[13:24] <FloodBot1> mun: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:26] <flaw-> hi guys can i ask for some help?
[13:26] <compdoc> maybe
[13:26] <NurseDad>  repo do I need enabled to install moonlight?
[13:27] <elky> flaw-, no need to ask to ask, just ask your question
[13:27] <Jazanyc> trying to get dolby digital and DTS sorround to work but have not had any luck any suggestions?
[13:27] <NurseDad> sorry what repo do I need to install moonlight
[13:27] <elky> flaw-, if we know, we'll answer, if not, then you haven't lost anything
[13:27] <krababbel> Jazanyc: you mean passthrough to an external decoder?
[13:27] <flaw-> well first sry for my poor english
[13:28] <Blarrffll> azimut: Not sure, sorry
[13:28] <flaw-> i installed ubuntu desktop for first time and after the install my monitor is unknown
[13:28] <azimut> Blarrffl: ok thanks.
[13:28] <Jazanyc> that is correct krababbel
[13:28] <cristian_c> Hi
[13:28] <cristian_c> How can I identify alsa  modules?
[13:29] <elky> flaw-, what do you mean by "is unknown"? does it show the desktop at all?
[13:29] <flaw-> also i installed the additional drivers for my nvidia and when reboot for 20-30 secs my monitor is Sync. out of range
[13:29] <drostie> NurseDad: it was in natty's universe, but it appears to have not made it to oneiric or precise.
[13:29] <flaw-> elky:  yes i have desktop
[13:30] <flaw-> but i cant change resolutions etc
[13:30] <drostie> NurseDad: let me check launchpad for a PPA though.
[13:30] <flaw-> i dont have command such as nvidia-xconfig
[13:31] <Chuck_Norris> flaw-: lsmod | grep noveau
[13:31] <elky> flaw-, if you mean in the 'displays' dialog, i think that's normal, especially for laptops. it's talking about the actual screen, not the graphics card
[13:31] <Jazanyc> krababbel: have tried the wiki pages with no luck, plus some of the info is way beyond my ubuntu abilities
[13:31] <flaw-> Chuck_Norris:  nothing appear
[13:31] <krababbel> Jazanyc: pulseaudio probably has wrong default settings for you, like 44.1KHz instead of 48KHz for example. maybe this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1151680
[13:32] <drostie> NurseDad: it looks like it stopped being in the repos because it started being a browser add-on; see http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx .
[13:32] <flaw-> elky:  im not with laptop
[13:32] <elky> flaw-, that's ok, not all screens in the world are known ;)
[13:32] <Jazanyc> thanks I'll tried that.
[13:33] <elky> flaw-, nvidia-settings i believe is the right way to configure stuff for nvidia cards
[13:33] <flaw-> elky:  but i cant change my resolution i have only 1024x768 at 60 hz
[13:33] <NurseDad> thank you
[13:33] <flaw-> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[13:33] <krababbel> A pulse audio wizard would do it justice, the default settings are fairly low quality
[13:34] <elky> flaw-, did you do that?
[13:34] <flaw-> and when i type nvidia-xconfig in the terminal
[13:34] <flaw-> nvidia-xconfig: command not found
[13:34] <psih0man> hello people! I'm running ubuntu inside qemu and since it thinks i'm using a touchscreen my mouse pointer is hidden. how do I unhide it? otherwise, pressing CTRL I can see my mouse's position
[13:35] <krababbel> flaw-: looks like you don't have the nvidia drivers installed then
[13:37] <NurseDad> drostie thank you
[13:37] <flaw-> krababbel: i installed Expremimental 3d support for Nvidia drivers , Nvidia accelerated graphic drivers (ver 173) and (version current (recommended)) from the Aditional Drivers
[13:37] <drostie> NurseDad: sure thing.
[13:37] <ksian1> _
[13:39] <cristian_c> an other question:
[13:39] <Fat-Thing> what is nacl_helper? i got it on my process and it seems i can't kill it :(
[13:39] <cristian_c> How can I activate pinch gesture on my touchpad in ubuntu?
[13:40] <rax-> I'm running an ubuntu server for xbmc and it works mostly fine until I turn the tv off (only display and sending audio via ati 5450), then the HMDI option disappears from sound properties...
[13:41] <krababbel> flaw-: does 'sudo modprobe -l |grep nvidia' give you something? Do you have nvidia in /usr/lib32/ ?
[13:42] <krababbel> flaw-: vers 173 should be old? did you uninstall that first?
[13:43] <Guest95536> hello
[13:43] <flaw-> krababbel:  give me this: kernel/drivers/video/backlight/mbp_nvidia_bl.ko | kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
[13:43] <Chuck_Norris> i think flaw- isn't using ubuntu 12.04 =P
[13:44] <sytu> Hi peeps! Anyone know a good guide on installing keepass classic on ubuntu 12.04?
[13:44] <flaw-> krababbel:  also i have only these version
[13:44] <Chuck_Norris> what's ubuntu version are you using flaw- ?
[13:44] <flaw-> Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-15-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 27 16:04:29 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[13:44] <krababbel> flaw-: I have this too 'updates/dkms/nvidia_current.ko', sorry, new to this
[13:44] <flaw-> 12.04 LTS desktop
[13:44] <Fat-Thing> what is nacl_helper? i got it on my process and it seems i can't kill it :(
[13:44] <Chuck_Norris> flaw-: it seems tobe ubuntu 10.04
[13:45] <kazuky> #join jeuxlinux
[13:45] <Fat-Thing> what's the command to kill a process?
[13:45] <elky> flaw-, how on earth did you get a 2.6 kernel on a release that has a 3.1? kernel?
[13:45] <krababbel> a spy
[13:46] <elky> 3.0 actually, sorry
[13:46] <flaw-> i just downloaded it from internet ;s and i booted to instal from Windows installer
[13:46] <Chuck_Norris> what's ubuntu 12.04 running 2.6.38? why?
[13:46] <elky> flaw-, what link did you get it from?
[13:46] <flaw-> im really new to linux
[13:46] <elky> Chuck_Norris, 3.0 actually
[13:46] <krababbel> flaw-: maybe try booting from usb or disc
[13:46] <Chuck_Norris> ye
[13:46] <Chuck_Norris> i know
[13:47] <flaw-> learnfree.eu is the site it's YCY ubuntu
[13:48] <elky> flaw-, i assume you've only _just_ installed it before coming here? you might want to instead go to ubuntu.com and download from there.
[13:49] <elky> we don't support UCU or YCY or whatever it's called
[13:49] <flaw-> there's a 3 versions desktop notebook and mini i downloaded usu-7.0-desktop-i386.iso
[13:49] <elky> that's not Ubuntu. We only support Ubuntu.
[13:49] <flaw-> elky:  i tried from ubuntu.com first but when try to install i have an error
[13:49] <Chuck_Norris> flaw-: if you download ubuntu from it's home page you will have 3.0 kernel and 295.40 driver version from "Additional Drivers"
[13:49] <flaw-> that's why i downloaded it from this site
[13:50] <elky> flaw-, we can't support something we didn't make.
[13:50] <Fat-Thing> huhuhuhu nobody cares :(
[13:50] <flaw-> i didnt think about that ;-)
[13:50] <flaw-> sry then and thanks for the help
[13:51] <zeus> hello
[13:51] <Chuck_Norris> you will get* =P
[13:52] <krababbel> Jazanyc: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2011-February/008800.html They seem to have an option for passthrough,  there is #pulse channel also and a wiki
[13:56] <Jazanyc> krababbel: thanks, no luck with first link.
[13:56] <Chuck_Norris> cya all
[13:57] <krababbel> Jazanyc: don't forget to logout for the local defaults to apply, maybe even reboot :)
[13:57] <krababbel> Jazanyc: you can also restart the daemon maybe, not sure how ubuntu does that
[13:58] <Jazanyc> I tried the code but had no luck. received an error after the make dir code
[14:01] <Jazanyc> krababbel: not to proficient in ubuntu or linux for that matter, trying to switch from windows but having issues. windows is definitely more user friendly
[14:01] <krababbel> Jazanyc: make dir? you mean in the ubuntu forum thread? the third post could work, but look at the wiki or ask in their channel. There are also terminal commands pacmd and paplay, which may help.
[14:03] <salsa> anybody can help me? I buy a new computer core i7 with 16gb .. but every time I try to install i got errors on installation... im try 32bits and 64bits... but is the same thing every time.... :/
[14:03] <krababbel> Jazanyc: it is, I scratched my head when pulse was about to be ready, but still not default. now in ubuntu at least it should be installed correctly, you just need to change the default ouptut settings. Also maybe the video player could be a problem. Never used passthrough, but multichannel analog.
[14:04] <zykotic10> Jazanyc: "unix is user friendly, it's just picky about who it's friends are" ;)
[14:04] <krababbel> indeed
[14:05] <krababbel> Jazanyc: the audio hardware should be compatible too
[14:05] <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
[14:07] <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
[14:08] <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
[14:09] <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
[14:10] <krababbel> also pacmd, can show you what hardware it recognized
[14:11] <The_BROS> How to make english language by default language when I search files and programmes in Dash?
[14:11] <krababbel> Jazanyc: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Passthrough
[14:12] <Jazanyc> krababbel: thanks I'll try that link
[14:12] <Jutsu> hi everybody, i'm searching for my mouse config file, i'v kub12.04 and i don't find anything on my xorg.conf.d directory,  somebody can help me ?
[14:13] <Jazanyc> krababbel: not sure what happened but I think I removed pulse when I tried that first link you send me
[14:14] <Sidewinder> !details | salsa
[14:14] <krababbel> Jazanyc: well revert that and reboot, pulse isn't the problem probably and ubuntu is meant to use pulse
[14:15] <Jazanyc> Krababbel: I use this command sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove
[14:15] <Jazanyc> how do is revert?
[14:16] <krababbel> sorry, I don't know
[14:16] <Jazanyc> that sucks
[14:17] <krababbel> the one that suggested that didn't know about changing the output settings
[14:17] <zykotic10> Jazanyc: that stops pluseaudio from starting at boot - "sudo update-rc.d pulseaudio defaults" might add it back
[14:18] <bs0d> Hello everybody
[14:18] <pawdro> hi, anyone using sublime text 2 for coding purposes ? i've got error: errno2 no such file or directory (i.e. after building ruby file). Anyone met such error ?
[14:19] <bs0d> Where can I get information about what features Gajim was built with?
[14:19] <Kenshizl> Anyoe: My log files are doing the same thing they did last night. I may just need to delete them every day or once in a while.
[14:19] <Kenshizl> I meant "Anyone"
[14:19] <bs0d> I have installed it from software manager, but some menu items, like "Discover Services" are grayed and not working .. I wonder if I am missing some plugins or modules for gajim?
[14:20] <Jazanyc> zykotic10: gave an erroe that states "runlevel arguments do not match
[14:20] <Jazanyc> it also states that pulseaudio already exists
[14:21] <escott> Kenshizl, what is the output of dmesg
[14:21] <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] <Kenshizl> escott: My log files are doing that thing again. Both are about 3GB now.
[14:21] <Kenshizl> Oh, Sorry. I'll see right now.
[14:21] <escott> Kenshizl, you should be seeing a whole bunch of repeated lines (hundreds of thousands of them, maybe you picked the wrong one last time
[14:21] <gaelfx> can anyone recommend a 300mbps combo wifi B3.0 card that plays well in Precise?
[14:21] <qawsedrf> how can i know what version of a software would apt-get instal ?
[14:22] <Jazanyc> thanks i'll re-start and see if anything happen
[14:22] <zykotic10> qawsedrf: "apt-cache policy foo" is one way
[14:22] <Kenshizl> escott:[ 5144.948864] [drm:intel_prepare_page_flip] *ERROR* Prepared flip multiple time
[14:22] <emorris> Hi, I need to do some stuff with the 12.04 alternate CD, but after the boot menu, when it gets to the default language selection, my USB keyboard stops working - I can't even toggle caps lock etc. It works fine in BIOS, grub, the CD boot menu and other OSs. Any ideas?
[14:22] <Kenshizl> I can't believe we're doing this again.
[14:23] <MrYogi> one more time
[14:23] <rabbi1> just installed rhythmbox, hearing songs as if in a big auditorium, am i missing any codec  ?
[14:23] <MMan> Hello all, i just try toupgrade on-line from 11.10 to 12.04. The laptop closed from battery power line fail and when i restarted got 16 colours and no icons. Anyone can help?
[14:23] <qawsedrf> thanks zykotic10
[14:24] <escott> Kenshizl, is that repeated all the time? I assumed when you mentioned the ethernet usb messages it was because you saw a lot of those lines. are you seeing the intel drm line hundreds of thousands of times?
[14:24] <rabbi1> guess, i am missing a mp3 codec, any suggestion ?
[14:24] <Daemon70> Ahoj všem ubuntákům
[14:24] <zykotic10> rabbi1: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?  (i believe it has mp3 codec)
[14:24] <gaelfx> MMan: 1. Never run an update without power connected, 2. you probably need to reinstall. Fresh is best
[14:25] <Kenshizl> escott: Yeah. I typed "dmesg" in the terminal and that's what came up.
[14:25] <gaelfx> Daemon70: what language?
[14:25] <Kenshizl> escott: Maybe I should just delete the log files every day.
[14:25] <Daemon70> Czech
[14:25] <escott> Kenshizl, run this command "dmesg | grep intel_prepare_page_flip | wc "
[14:25] <rabbi1> zykotic10: nope, sudo apt-get install u-r-e ?
[14:25] <zykotic10> rabbi1: should be
[14:26] <zykotic10> !info ubuntu-restriected-extras
[14:26] <gaelfx> !cz > Daemon70
[14:26] <rabbi1> zykotic10: thx, will try
[14:26] <zykotic10> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:26] <gaelfx> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:27] <Kenshizl> escott: okay, I did and this came out underneath my command:      1542   12336  126444
[14:27] <escott> ok so that line appears 1542 times what is dmesg | wc
[14:27] <mafiaboy> hi guys .....can u help me install libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0
[14:28] <salsa> Sidewinder, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS error msg: grob-install drummy failed
[14:28] <Kenshizl> brb
[14:28] <gaelfx> can anyone recommend a 300mbps combo wifi B3.0 card that plays well in Precise?
[14:28] <gaelfx> er, for a laptop :D
[14:28] <zykotic10> salsa: grob-install?  typo?
[14:29] <salsa> grub
[14:29] <gaelfx> zykotic10: I believe he means the the dummy run of grub-install failed on installation
[14:29] <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 ;)
[14:30] <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
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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] <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
[14:33] <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
[14:34] <llutz> furycd001: did you chose it as default dm? sudo service lightdm stop && sudo service gdm start
[14:34] <salsa> gaelfx, yeah... im trying to install again... i dont know if have any problem to use in i7 core with 16gb ram computers
[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.
[14:35] <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
[14:36] <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] <gaelfx> zykotic10: thanks :D
[14:36] <salsa> ty :)
[14:36] <zykotic10> salsa: PAE is a "hack" - 64 is much better
[14:37] <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?
[14:38] <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
[14:39] <gaelfx> DropsOfSerenity: it should, but it also depends on the game sending the proper signals and whatnot
[14:39] <gaelfx> good night, #ubuntu
[14:40] <Kenshizl> escott: okay, I did and it just maved to the next line.
[14:41] <escott> Kenshizl, i was hoping to pm you so I can walk you through the file. don't know if you saw the pm?
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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.
[14:44] <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
[14:45] <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.
[14:46] <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
[14:47] <kaziweb> hi, can any one help me on translation with bazaar?
[14:47] <Kenshizl> escott: I did before, but nothing happened.
[14:47] <escott> Kenshizl, does "gedit" without anything before or after open up a text editor window?
[14:48] <kaziweb> hi, can any one help me on translation with bazaar?
[14:48] <kaziweb> hi, can any one help me on translation with bazaar?
[14:48] <wylde> !patience | kaziweb
[14:49] <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] <cihan> selam
[14:49] <Kenshizl> escott: maybe I don't have gedit
[14:49] <Guest48265> türkiyeden kimse var mı
[14:49] <escott> Kenshizl, ok. is this a standard ubuntu install or something else like kubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu
[14:49] <wylde> kaziweb: it would help if you provided more detail about your issue
[14:50] <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: I thought you knew from our previous chat last night that I had xubuntu?
[14:50] <Kenshizl> escott: what's vi?
[14:51] <zykotic10> Kenshizl: does "leafpad" open an editor?
[14:51] <escott> Kenshizl, didn't remember that. then gksudo YOURFAVORITEEDITOR /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
[14:51] <sobczyk> hi, is there possibility to tune to a more aggresive power mode for radeon driver? I've tried echo "mid" > power_profile but it turned my screen grey and the latpop was unusable
[14:51] <yellabs-r2> hi there
[14:51] <christoph_> hi all
[14:51] <yellabs-r2> i am trying to make an usb startup disk, with 12.04 but it does not work , whats the problem
[14:51] <Kenshizl> escott: There we go! I opened it in leafpad
[14:52] <andybrine> afternoon everyon
[14:52] <escott> Kenshizl, so you see the top of that file lists /var/log/syslog and then between the braces are the rules for that file
[14:52] <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.
[14:53] <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)
[14:54] <andybrine> ok, well I dont want to use all of the features. Compiz was not install by default
[14:54] <wylde> kaziweb: link please? Was there a tutorial or somesuch you were following?
[14:55] <Fat-Thing> what's the command to kill a process?
[14:55] <escott> Kenshizl, im assuming that logrotate supports an hourly rotation schedule. which might not be valid
[14:55] <wylde> kaziweb: you may also find translation help in #ubuntu-translators
[14:55] <zykotic10> Fat-Thing: "kill #PID" or "killall PROCESSNAME"
[14:56] <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
[14:57] <escott> Kenshizl, note how all the other files currently use the same set of rules
[14:57] <Kenshizl> escott: how do I do that? and if I do, wouldn't it make it do more things than the kern/log file is now?
[14:57] <wylde> kaziweb: link to the wiki please?
[14:57] <kaziweb> wylde: I tried to communicate with #ubuntu-accomplishments but no one answering.
[14:58] <wylde> kaziweb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Translation <---- is that what you followed?
[14:59] <Kenshizl> escott: how do I move the kern.log string up? do I just put it right next to the syslog string but with a space dividing it?
[15:00] <escott> Kenshizl, look at the bottom of that file. see how all the other files have the same set of rules. there are multiple files listed but only one set of rules at the end
[15:00] <s904s> hello somebody
[15:00] <s904s> can help me to know how flip flop
[15:00] <s904s> stores bit?
[15:01] <krinetic> Hello! I'm having problems with lightdm. After adding allow-guest=false, I still get the guest session login.
[15:01] <Kenshizl> escott: so I cut the kern.log out and paste it UNDERNEATH the syslog one?
[15:01] <ikonia> [6~/window 14
[15:01] <ikonia> oops
[15:01] <escott> Kenshizl, or above
[15:01] <Kenshizl> escott: okay
[15:01] <escott> Kenshizl, just so that both have the same set of rules
[15:02] <wylde> kaziweb: you may also be interested in https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise  , beyond that I'm not sure what else to tell you other than try the translators irc channel or mailing list.
[15:02] <kaziweb> wylde: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community-accomplishments/trunk/+pots/ubuntu-community-accomplishments/bn/+translate?show=untranslated <---- I'm trying here. Please see there is no save button. I don't know other ways to translate. Please help me with step by step solution.
[15:02] <Kenshizl> escott: I did it!
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <Kenshizl> escott: I don't see a size argument.
[15:03] <escott> Kenshizl, you could add it. but its not necessary. im not clear what real benefit it would offer here
[15:03] <zykotic10> escott: while increasing the log rotation may solve the issue in the short-term, do you know what is actually filling the logs?  (not that I have any better solution then yours ;)
[15:04] <escott> zykotic10, intel drm module
[15:04] <wylde> kaziweb: at the bottom of the page on the far right side is a button "Save & Continue"
[15:04] <Kenshizl> escott: won't I still have to delete both files every once in a while, since they just get bigger and bigger (even though they are compressed)?
[15:05] <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"
[15:05] <kaziweb> wylde: I know there supposed to be. But unfortunately I don't see any!!!
[15:05] <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.
[15:06] <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?
[15:07] <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> 6279  0.0  0.1 1065508 3176 ?        S    23:02   0:00 /opt/google/chrome/nacl_helper_bootstrap /opt/google/chrome/nacl_helper --at-zero --r_debug=0x0000000040000000
[15:07] <Fat-Thing>  <----can someone tell me what is this process?
[15:07] <wylde> kaziweb: if you must
[15:07] <wylde> !paste | kaziweb
[15:08] <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
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <Kenshizl> escot: so now I have a 2Gb, 1.4Gb and a 900KB file all taking up space.
[15:10] <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
[15:11] <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?
[15:12] <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.
[15:13] <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
[15:14] <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?
[15:15] <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"
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <raven> Dr_willis i know but theese stations are flash-idiots....
[15:17] <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
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <Kenshizl> escott: I'm doing it right now
[15:20] <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
[15:21] <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).
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <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] <solofight> people, my windows xp boot option has been lost after installing ubuntu. Now i remember adding a line in ubuntu some file which brought xp option back last time
[15:24] <solofight> but forgot now
[15:24] <solofight> please help
[15:24] <Kenshizl> escott: will do!
[15:25] <christoph_> exit
[15:26] <Kenshizl> escott: I'll delete the files and run that command. But for now, I'm signing off for a little. Thanks for your help!
[15:26] <solofight> people are you getting my messages ?
[15:26] <angel279> Hello, I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 along with apache2 and php5 and I cant fine the php.ini file? any idea?
[15:27] <solofight> angel279: updatedb; locate "php.ini"
[15:28] <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] <solofight> ubuntu v12
[15:29] <escott> solofight, it usually shows a menu when os-prober detects boot options. is xp not listed in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[15:33] <solofight> escott: nope - no entries
[15:33] <solofight> do i need to man ually add one ?
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> solofight  do you see the grub menu at all?
[15:34] <escott> solofight, you could but its easier for os-prober to find it. what does sudo os-prober say?
[15:35] <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
[15:36] <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
[15:38] <sirriffsalot> By the way, I've installed e17... but whenever I mouse click on my desktop and go to accessories > applications, I get an error message:  Enlightenment error: This is very bad. Enlightenment SEGV'd
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> solofight  in a terminal, sudo fdisk -l -- use pastebin to show it to the channel http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[15:39] <solofight> MonkeyDust: cannot use pastebin as the system which i am dealing with has no internet access
[15:39] <solofight> shall i describe what i see ?
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> solofight  you have more than one pc in the same network?
[15:39] <solofight> it has sda1 to sda7 out of which sda1 runs linux and sda7 runs windows
[15:39] <solofight> MonkeyDust: not in same network
[15:40] <kurtwp_> can some provide some insight as into the following nvidia error: DEBUG: nvidia_current is blacklisted, so not treating as enabled
[15:40] <solofight> the one am debugging right now is home pc and what am using now is office laptop
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> solofight  ok, in a terminal, type mkdir windows and then sudo mount /dev/sda7 windows
[15:40] <escott> solofight, 7 is an extended partition. is it possible to boot xp on an extended partition?
[15:41] <Dr_willis> escott,  xp? I dont think so.. you may want to ask in #windows
[15:41] <panda81> if can't burn iso to cd, only way to install is via boot from usb?
[15:41] <headgas> Whats a newb channel?
[15:41] <Dr_willis> panda81,  you could do a 'net boot'
[15:41] <solofight> MonkeyDust: mkdir where ? in my desktop is ok ?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> solofight  in /home/[you]
[15:42] <solofight> escott: well thats what i have done right now !
[15:42] <panda81> Dr_willis: what's needed for that
[15:42] <headgas> How do I join a newb channel?
[15:42] <Dr_willis> !install | panda81
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> !ask| headgas
[15:42] <Dr_willis> headgas,  like #ubuntu-beginners ?
[15:43] <headgas> No for irc beginners
[15:43] <mvrech> hello
[15:43] <solofight> MonkeyDust: done - i have mounted sda7 to windows directory
[15:43] <solofight> now what ?
[15:43] <Dr_willis> headgas,   irc basics.. covered in docs all over the internetz... /join #channelname       is the basics of joining a channel
[15:43] <Dr_willis> headgas,  the xchat.org site had some good docs at one time
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> solofight  ok, no errors? that's something already than, just to know
[15:44] <solofight> MonkeyDust: nope - no errors

[15:46] <td123> hi, is there an ubuntu gnome 3 spin?

[15:46] <MonkeyDust> td123  meaning?
[15:46] <zykotic10> !notunity | td123
[15:46] <escott> td123, no. just install gnome-shell
[15:46] <Dr_willis> td123,  seen one mentioned at the webupd8 blog site. but its not officially supported by this channel.. i just install gnome-shell on ubuntu...
[15:46] <td123> k, ty, just wondering
[15:47] <conradk> Does anyone know how I can change default ACL on a partition different from where Ubuntu is installed ? In my case, Ubuntu is on /dev/sda3.  But I want to change FACL on /dev/sda2, which is another partition mounted in /media/home. It uses NTFS, unlike the Ubuntu partition which uses ext4. I get "Operation not supported" from the setfacl command :(
[15:47] <mvrech> sorry but Not supported low-power chip with PCI id 14e4:4315!

[15:54] <lorddelta> So...is it normal for me to need to download 5 gigs worth of upgrade when I'm going from 11.04 to 12.04?
[15:55] <Aress> what video recorder you can recommend me for recording games?
[15:55] <IdleOne> lorddelta: sounds like a lot but depending on all what you have installed it is possible
[15:55] <lorddelta> Or should I call it quits and stop the upgrade (its only like 10-20 minutes in, it has another 3-4 hours to go)
[15:56] <solofight> MonkeyDust: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/bex77
[15:56] <Dr_willis> lorddelta,  it basicaly is redownloading every package/app you have installed.
[15:56] <solofight> MonkeyDust: please have a loook at that image, its the output of fdisk -l
[15:56] <Dr_willis> and updated..
[15:57] <lorddelta> Dr_willis: Great. Thanks anyways
[15:57] <Dr_willis> be a neat trick if it could do a 'diff' on all the updates.. but tjhat could get.. complex. ;)
[15:59] <solofight> MonkeyDust: you there ?
[15:59] <lorddelta> Dr_willis: It would be nice. That or if it let me just update the "core" packages, and mark everything else as obsolete...
[16:00] <Fraz> hi
[16:00] <Fraz> does anyone happen to be using ogre3d under 12.04?
[16:00] <solofight> People, i am not able to see the grub menu after my installation of ubuntu 12.04 - i ran a os-prober to see whether it checks for my windows xp and it didn't. here is o/p of fdisk -l http://www.freeimagehosting.net/bex77
[16:01] <solofight> please help

[16:01] <theluckymike> is it posible in ubuntu to switch headphone line with mic line? I just screwed headphone line and it does not give out left side..
[16:03] <lorddelta> theluckymike: I'd be very interested to see that, I'd think that sort of thing would be hardware level, not something you could change in the OS...
[16:04] <jackyboy633> hi
[16:04] <theluckymike> lorddelta,  thx, will forget about it :D
[16:04] <solofight> ok i waited for some time - so reposting

[16:06] <raddy> how do i install repo command in ubuntu 10.04?

[16:07] <Datz> Hi, I just moved a folder to the trash. Where did it go, and how can I completely delete it?
[16:07] <Datz> I'm on 12.04
[16:09] <Polah> Datz: If you empty trash then it'll remove pointers. If you want it completely gone and overwritten you could find where it's stored on your drive and use dd to write over t
[16:10] <waylee> hello. is there a way to pass a paramter in loginshell in /etc/passwd? like ..:myshell -a
[16:10] <Datz> Polah: I kick myself for not using rm command now..
[16:10] <solofight> People, i am not able to see the grub menu after my installation of ubuntu 12.04 - i ran a os-prober to see whether it checks for my windows xp and it didn't. here is o/p of fdisk -l http://www.freeimagehosting.net/bex77
[16:11] <Polah> Datz: Just open trash can and empty is, or right click > delete permanently on the specific file
[16:11] <nydel> waylee: could you write a script file that launches the shell with the parameter & put that in etc/passwd?
[16:11] <Datz> Polah: I backed up my home folder prior to upgrade on a NTFS drive. Booted to windows I was unable to remove the home folder because of naming problems.  Where would it be stored now?
[16:11] <escott> solofight, does the xp partition need to me marked bootable? and shouldn't there be a WINNT folder in c:
[16:11] <nydel> waylee: (as your shell)
[16:11] <Datz> Polah: I don't see a trash can. I might add I'm booted to gome session fallback
[16:12] <Polah> Datz: Open Nautilus, should have a link on the sidebar there
[16:12] <Datz> Polah: it does. thanks! :)
[16:14] <solofight> escott: oh, i just clicked the xp partition and made it bootable using disk utility. about winnt folder - am not sure. This is how it was before installing ubuntu - it worked fine !
[16:15] <solofight> escott: so now that i have made it bootable - if i run sudo os-prober; it should return windows xp ?
[16:15] <solofight> or should i restart to see the effect ?
[16:15] <escott> solofight, i dont know try it. if it does run update-grub
[16:15] <amaroks> Hello
[16:15] <amaroks> I have deleted /var/log/apache2/error.log and recreated it what I should set it permission to?
[16:16] <synergizm> hi, im trying out scribes as an editor right now. i like it but can anyone tell me why i might not have any syntaxhighlighting? using ubuntu 11.10
[16:16] <nydel> vlc won't seem to get recognized as a media player, in the way that others like movieplayer & clementine do, where it has a control panel in the sound menu & allows control with laptop remote - could someone help me with this? i don't know where to start...
[16:16] <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?
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <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?
[16:19] <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
[16:20] <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?
[16:21] <haruband> Hello, anybody here has some interesting with wayland window system? Is it possible for wayland to be default window system on ubuntu?

[16:22] <auronandace> !fr | kafin
[16:22] <nydel> DonKaese: yes, i started on windows & used wubi. whatever drivers ubuntu put into place worked perfectly.
[16:22] <nydel> (in fact when i used wubi a while back i was just messing around, but i haven't booted back into windows since. i bet that's happened to a lot of people)

[16:23] <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.
[16:24] <Sidewinder> !clone | Aster
[16:25] <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.
[16:26] <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"
[16:27] <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.
[16:28] <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] <synergizm> anyone*
[16:28] <synergizm> i cant get the highlighting to work
[16:29] <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.
[16:30] <Aster> Polah, I'll try the Etho cable.
[16:31] <Polah> Aster: You'll need to install Ubuntu on the other system first to do that
[16:32] <Aster> Done.
[16:32] <DonKaese> nydel: thank you for your help!
[16:32] <synergizm> guys noone using the editor scribes? it looks gr8 imo but i cant get the syntaxhighlighting running
[16:33] <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.
[16:34] <Aster> Polah, I'd be extremely happy if I just had 10 Mb/s.
[16:34] <joep> However, when I want to start form the disk GRUB says: no sector found. Cab anybody help me out.?
[16:35] <princethakur> byeall good night .. see you later
[16:37] <drvanon> hello, I had issues with compizz (don
[16:37] <drvanon> 't know what it is)

[16:41] <tyteen4a03> Hi, after I installed Ubuntu desktop 12.04 along with my windows, a boot menu did not show up and the computer went straight to windows. How can I fix this?
[16:41] <escott> tyteen4a03, which did you install first? how many disks? how large are they?
[16:43] <tyteen4a03> escott: Windows first, 2 disks (both win7 and ubuntu), how large?
[16:43] <bnerd> anybody got any experience with the hp n40l micro server with precise amd64 server installed? esata doesn't work for me and i was wondering whether i must run some specific module?
[16:43] <joep> I repost my question: Hi, I have a strange problem with GRUB2. I installed from an USB-stick XUBUNTU 12.04 over a corrupt installation of 11.10. That went without any problem. However, when I want to start form the disk GRUB says: no sector found. Cab anybody help me out.?
[16:43] <escott> tyteen4a03, you probably just need to change the bios to boot the other disk first

[16:44] <bnerd> when i attach a disk via a cable, where i have the combo working on another host, i see 0 kernel messages…
[16:44] <tyteen4a03> escott: oops, I meant that disk 1 had both win7 and ubuntu, sorry for the confusing
[16:45] <escott> tyteen4a03, ok. how large is the disk? is this a uefi system?
[16:45] <tyteen4a03> escott: 120GB SSD, not sure about uefi
[16:45] <escott> tyteen4a03, how new is it?
[16:46] <tyteen4a03> escott: the disk is only about 2 months old
[16:46] <escott> tyteen4a03, the system not the disk
[16:46] <escott> tyteen4a03, how about just pasting the output of sudo parted -l /dev/sda
[16:47] <escott> !paste | tyteen4a03
[16:50] <tyteen4a03> escott: the system? I can't boot into it, you want me to use the live disk?
[16:50] <escott> tyteen4a03, yes
[16:51] <marcovorg> hello ppl, on 12.04 if I alt+tab and select "show desktop" the desktop is NOT shown...to get the correct behavior I need to alt+tab to select again "show desktop" ... anybody is experiencing the same?
[16:52] <tyteen4a03> escott: just wondering, will you stil be here after 2 hours? can't really restart the system right now
[16:52] <escott> tyteen4a03, probably not
[16:52] <infid> does ubuntu's cd installer's format tool have a way to do super secure formatting, so the data can't be recovered?
[16:52] <jgmdev> marcovorg, happens the same to me
[16:53] <jgmdev> seems to be a bug
[16:53] <bobweaver> tylerstrayhan,  I just tried and it seems like it is doing that but also after switching to to desktop on the 3rd time it goes back to original window
[16:53] <escott> infid, yes
[16:54] <bobweaver>  ubuntu-bug unity ?
[16:54] <escott> infid, just dd /dev/urandom /dev/sda first
[16:55] <marcovorg> jgmdev, so do you confirm that the desktop is shown on the second try ?
[16:55] <jgmdev> jgmdev, happens on my laptop running 12.04
[16:56] <infid> ok
[16:56] <killtrace> my net is awesome -.- how can I fix it?
[16:56] <infid> also can you run ubuntu as a guest operating system in virtualbox with a mac osx lion host?
[16:56] <deper29> hey, how would I initialize a command upon startup of the system? I can get it to startup for when I log in, but I want it before that
[16:57] <krababbel> infid: why not?
[16:57] <bobweaver> infid,  Yes you may I dont see why not but I am no longer a mac owner
[16:57] <jgmdev> marcovorg, maybe is already reported
[16:58] <escott> infid, yes
[16:58] <marcovorg> jgmdev, mmhh..I'm looking around but I can't find nothing related...

[17:09] <TheRedoctober> Hi all. I am experiencing a gnome-shell crash. I found the open bug on launchpad. I believe it is due to a gnome shell extension. Since I cannot load gnome-shell without it crashing, I would like to disable extensions. Does anyone know how to disable gnome-shell extensions without being able to load gnome-shell?
[17:10] <Resistance> !pastebin | ANT1-CHR15T, if you paste all the lines

[17:12] <TheRedoctober> hcongvn: same as with any *nix, chmod u+x $script; ./$script
[17:12] <escott> !paste | hcuongvn can you send us the script
[17:12] <ANT1-CHR15T> let me know if you have any solutions i normaly get a few errors but runs fine
[17:12] <bobweaver> hcuongvn,  chmod +x <name of script>
[17:14] <bobweaver> hcuongvn,  you can also add " set -x "  in your script for debuging if you think it is script :)
[17:14] <CromoZoneX> Hello everyone. I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell Laptop, and i've also got an Optimus Videocard on my laptop. I've installed Bumblebee 3.0 stable, works quite well with all applications i've tested. One BIG question: Why does not Bumblebee runs at startup of my system? It's kinda' annoying to type "optirun appname" every time i want an application to open up with my Nvidia Optimus Card.
[17:15] <ANT1-CHR15T> CromoZoneX you can configure it to run at startup i belive
[17:15] <ANT1-CHR15T> not sure myself as im new to ubuntu but i used debian alot
[17:15] <CromoZoneX> I've searched Google, and i didn't find anything useful...
[17:15] <IdleOne> Dash > Startup Applications.
[17:15] <escott> CromoZoneX, does bumblebee need X to be running?
[17:15] <CromoZoneX> escott, yes it needs X
[17:16] <escott> CromoZoneX, then add it to gnome-session-properties

[17:17] <BigBass> I have a problem with a Broadcom wireless driver, it doesn't appear to work with the new  Ubuntu 12.4 (or for that fact other Debian based new releases).  Does anybody know what the problem is?
[17:17] <bobweaver> BigBass,  I can help you with that
[17:17] <delegate> @BigBass, did you install additionaldrivers?
[17:17] <lorddelta> bobweaver: thnx, apparently I have that installed already, that works too!
[17:18] <BigBass> :-)  Yes
[17:18] <bobweaver> BigBass,  I am going to ask you to install something called pastebinit  do you have Internet access via eth0 ?
[17:18] <ANT1-CHR15T> you could convert the windows drivers as Broadcom always make drivers for windows
[17:18] <BigBass> yes I do
[17:18] <bobweaver> BigBass,  open terminal   and let us see          lspci -nn | grep 14e4
[17:19] <hcuongvn> I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. I run chmod a+x this file then run as root but it can't run :(

[17:20] <vp18> i need help with conky i downloaded it as well as the themes from gmone looks and don't understand it
[17:20] <KM0201> hmm, ubottu must be sleeping
[17:20] <bobweaver> thanks KM0201  :)
[17:20] <ANT1-CHR15T> ok il leave you guys to it il ask in a more perl based channel as im sure they may have run into a few errors anyways have a good day all
[17:20] <delegate> :-)
[17:20] <Polah> KM0201, you have to prefix it with a !
[17:20] <hcuongvn> escott, How can i fix it. I really need for my job :(
[17:20] <bobweaver> !pastebin > bobweaver
[17:20] <KM0201> Polah: oh, i thought i did... (guess i'm a little to tired to be playing w/ ubottu..lol)
[17:21] <harushimo> I'm just asking a quick question. Right now I'm using my 160 as OS drive. I have tb hard drive that I want mount with the interface. I'm currently doing a reinstall
[17:21] <KM0201> Polah: but don't think ubottu has never been caught napping on the job, happens frequently.. :)
[17:21] <escott> hcuongvn, i would just run the correct setup program directly. export PATH and then depending upon your machine architecture run either bin/lin/setup or bin/lin64/setup
[17:21] <harushimo> any advice would be great
[17:22] <BigBass> :-(
[17:22] <ztag100> Well, I'm screwed...
[17:22] <bobweaver> BigBass, ??
[17:22] <ztag100> I just restarted my computer
[17:22] <harushimo> if anyone answer this question, i can ubuntu completely reinstalled
[17:22] <Polah> KM0201, oh yeah. Damn lazy robots.
[17:22] <KM0201> :)
[17:23] <hcuongvn> escott, Ok, i'll try. Thank you!
[17:23] <BobMarley> hello
[17:23] <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 ?
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <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] <IdleOne> harushimo: you have not asked a question yet
[17:27] <pooltable> help how to add extract here in the file opation???
[17:27] <Polah> harushimo, what do you mean it didn't work properly?
[17:27] <harushimo> the question is what is prefer mount point to use when you have two hard drives?
[17:27] <roger_black> when i start logkeys in ubuntu 12.04 it just hangs, it does not create any file nor it works, just hangs, what should i do ?
[17:27] <harushimo> I couldn't access the drive
[17:27] <harushimo> after the installed
[17:27] <harushimo> luckily nothing was on it
[17:27] <urlwolf> re: my problem of not having virtual terminals... the terminals are listed on ps aux | grep tty. Maybe the shortcuts are overriden by kwin?
[17:27] <Polah> harushimo, something in /mnt/ or /media/. Did you add the appropriate entry to your fstab?
[17:27] <escott> harushimo, the mount point is up to you.
[17:28] <harushimo> i figured
[17:28] <harushimo> thank you
[17:28] <harushimo> I'm doing the reinstall right now
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <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?
[17:33] <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
[17:34] <tpw_rules> it's removed because it had a head crash
[17:34] <linuxfreaker> Unable to install Ubuntu 10.04 on Dell R620 machine
[17:34] <tpw_rules> the fs type is swap, does it think the swap parittion is there?
[17:34] <linuxfreaker> through UEFI mode
[17:35] <linuxfreaker> Any idea if 10.04 supports UEFI mode
[17:35] <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"
[17:36] <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
[17:37] <Somelauw> Something I have seen recently a lot in firefox is that when I open a flash movie in one tab, it shines though the contents of the other tabs if their background color is white.
[17:37] <linuxfreaker> escott: I am facing issue with 11.10 too
[17:37] <javierf_> Hi! I've got a problem with jdk-jave in ubuntu 12.04. Since I tried to install it and something went wrong, everytime I try to install another application terminal tries to process oracle-java7-installer but finds errors, so it can't be installer neither uninstalled. How could I fix this?
[17:37] <linuxfreaker> escott: Doesnt grub-efi included in 10.04 or 11.10
[17:38] <escott> linuxfreaker, i dont know i just try to avoid efi
[17:38] <linuxfreaker> escott: How to install grub-efi during installation phase?
[17:38] <linuxfreaker> escott: All I tried selecting UEFI Mode > Boot Option > bootx86.efi
[17:39] <linuxfreaker> escott: But it dint work
[17:39] <linuxfreaker> escott: How shall I install grub-efi and where to download from? Can you help me with this?
[17:39] <escott> linuxfreaker, i dont know what that does. does that do a bios boot
[17:39] <Aster> Polah, so, how would I set up this LAN trade thing?
[17:39] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: you need to start defing thigs like "doesn't work"
[17:39] <Aster> With the etho cable?
[17:39] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: or else my answer will be "make it work"
[17:40] <akm> can somebody tell me that could could i install openssl c lib in my ubuntu12.x
[17:41] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: When I tried inserting DVD of 10.04 , I selected UEFI Mode(instead of BIOS Mode)..it showed "error:prefix not found" and then displayed GRUB menu..when I select any option it remains black
[17:41] <linuxfreaker> screen
[17:41] <ikonia> akm: what do you want to do ?
[17:41] <Polah> Aster: You'll have to ask someone else about that; I don't know much about rsync, sorry.
[17:42] <Aster> Okay.
[17:42] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: It work with BIOS Mode but doesnt display anything after GRUB menu gets displayed
[17:43] <anon_> I want to install a German GUI on a Japanese Ubuntu 12.04. What package(s) do I have to install?
[17:43] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: where/when does it display that error, during the install or after the install is done
[17:43] <tensorpudding> anon_, what do you mean?
[17:43] <xangua> anon_: open language support  and install all languages you want
[17:44] <xmarkinox> hi
[17:44] <xmarkinox> !list
[17:44] <tensorpudding> anon_, do what xangua said, you might have to configure input method support if you want to support german typing
[17:44] <anon_> tensorpudding, xangua, I prefer the command line as everything is Japanese. I want to have Libre Office in German.
[17:44] <xmarkinox> bye
[17:44] <xangua> anon_: language-pack-de, language-pack-de-base
[17:44] <hapster> Hi. Any chance NVIDIA will provide binary drivers for Ubuntu/other Linux distros once Ubuntu moves to Wayland?
[17:45] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: TO be clear....Power-On Dell Machine > Pressed F11 > Select UEFI Mode > Choose DVD > ISOLinux shows up > "error:prefix not found" > GRUB Menu > Nothing getting displayed
[17:45] <tensorpudding> i would guess that in order to launch an app with a different localization than usual you'd have to set some variables
[17:45] <anon_> xangua, thx
[17:45] <tensorpudding> but i have no idea if that works
[17:45] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: Nothing is installed and I am inserting DVD for installation
[17:45] <iceroot> anon_: sudo apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-de

[17:46] <harushimo> i'm getting a unknown filesystem error after my complete reinstallation. it is in the grub rescue screen
[17:46] <harushimo> what I do?
[17:47] <escott> harushimo, tell us some details about your system. does it have multiple disks?
[17:47] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/foundations-bugs/2012-February/066560.html
[17:47] <escott> harushimo, did you select any non-standard options (lvm, mdadm, btrfs, etc)
[17:48] <harushimo> it has two hard drives. It has a 160 gb and 1 tb
[17:48] <harushimo> no
[17:48] <harushimo> I selected for my 160 in this boot--> ext 4, swap, and reiserfs partitons
[17:48] <harushimo> and for 1tb it is reiserfs
[17:49] <escott> harushimo, what is / on? what is /boot on?
[17:49] <harushimo> for 160 gb has a root partition which is reiserfs
[17:49] <linuxfreaker> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/632775
[17:49] <harushimo> the 1 tb doesn't have one
[17:49] <harushimo> it is backup drive
[17:50] <dontknow> which one should use "gksu" or "gksudo"?
[17:50] <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> escott: any idea?
[17:50] <harushimo> how would do I that
[17:50] <escott> dontknow, i think they are the same
[17:50] <lorddelta> Oh the wonderful world of Operating Systems. You never appreciate them as much as when you realize you can do multiple things at once...without a GUI (or including several GUIs, depending on how much RAM/CPU you have)
[17:50] <harushimo> I'm in the grub rescue screen
[17:51] <yeats> dontknow: open a terminal and type 'man gksu' - it will explain what you're looking for
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <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
[17:53] <harushimo> when chroot in, then do an sudo update-initrafms?
[17:53] <harushimo> thanks
[17:55] <klest> Hello people I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and the corresponding Java 7 and have a strange problem. I need to open a .jnlp file and there is a pop up which asks me with which application I would like to open it. there was no problem with Java 6, the prompt finds itself the good Java "bin" - so what would be the "bin" to open .jnlp in Java 7??
[17:56] <harushimo> what type of file journaling system is prefered for the home directory? I've been using reiserfs for like 7 years
[17:56] <escott> harushimo, ext4
[17:56] <harushimo> and the root directory
[17:56] <harushimo> is that same for root too?
[17:56] <harushimo> explain me the difference between ext4 vs reisferfs
[17:57] <escott> harushimo, its the default choice. btrfs is the likely successor
[17:57] <harushimo> oh really
[17:57] <Aress> Maybe someone can recommend my a editor like notepad++
[17:57] <harushimo> I didn't know that
[17:57] <Dr_willis> Aress,  try geany
[17:57] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: What u suggest?
[17:57] <escott> harushimo, reiserfs was written by hans reiser who is in prison for murder
[17:57] <ignacio> hola algien save porque mi resoulcion bajo al poner drivers y no deetcta monitore
[17:57] <harushimo> for root partition, I'm guessing ext4 is prefer too
[17:57] <harushimo> oh
[17:57] <harushimo> I didn't know that
[17:58] <physically_fit> how do i buy music from available in the iTunes store? is the only alternative to install Wine?
[17:58] <escott> harushimo, needless to say his personal skills may not have been the best, so it never got accepted by the mainline linux kernel community
[17:58] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  best bet would be buy music from sites that dont put on silly DRM.
[17:58] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  i dont think itunes works in wine.
[17:59] <harushimo> oh okay
[17:59] <harushimo> I'll start using ext4
[17:59] <harushimo> thank you
[17:59] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, i want to buy Sleigh Bells' last album and their website redirects me to itunes.
[18:00] <escott> harushimo, if you *must* have the coolest fs with the best features try btrfs
[18:00] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  I wouldent buy anything from Apple... ever..
[18:00] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, ok, i understand your position.
[18:00] <harushimo> ok can you use btrfs for the root and home directory
[18:00] <harushimo> ?
[18:00] <anon_> xangua, it says that language-pack-de is already the latest version. However when logging into Ubuntu there is no option to choose the language. How can I switch the GUI of Ubuntu from Japanese to German?
[18:00] <harushimo> I'll do use that
[18:01] <harushimo> or should I do a different file system for root and home directory?
[18:01] <escott> harushimo, btrfs should not be used for /boot but its fine as a /
[18:01] <harushimo> I'm using ext4 for /boot
[18:02] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, it's on Amazon. can i buy it there?
[18:02] <nannes> Hi! i'm in trubles :( Flash videos aren't viewed in any case... Test pages for flash say "OK! Your flashplayer 11.1xxx has been installed correctly" but if I try any video, the "MISSING PLUGIN" message appears
[18:02] <nannes> I'm with Lubuntu11.10...I'm getting crazy http://imagebin.org/212253  &&  http://imagebin.org/212254
[18:02] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  no idea if amazon has DRM protection.. i dont think they do.. there IS the ubuntu-one music store also.
[18:02] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, i usually pirate music, but i like their album so much, so i want ti support the band
[18:03] <anon_> Anybody?
[18:03] <Dr_willis> and google has their own music store as well.
[18:03] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, ubuntu one doesn't show them
[18:03] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, i already searched there
[18:03] <Dr_willis> ive never even looked at the U1 store. :)

[18:04] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, this was my first time! :)
[18:04] <owner512> hello, i hate the new style from ubuntu ( i install 11.xx). how can i use the old style?
[18:04] <escott> !notunity | owner512
[18:04] <anon_> Is there a command with which I switch Ubuntu GUI from Japanese to German?
[18:05] <owner512> thx guys
[18:05] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, listen to their last album (Reign of Terror) it's a balanced mixture of metal and pop. you probably like one of those genres.
[18:05] <harushimo> escott: can you use the same file journaling system for root and the home directory or shoudl it be different?
[18:05] <kino> Привет всем!!!
[18:06] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  ive bought like 2 music cd;s in the last 15 years.......
[18:06] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, what bands?
[18:06] <Dr_willis> Weird Al. :P
[18:06] <escott> harushimo, one of the nicer features of btrfs is subvolumes a default setup will have a subvolume for / and /home on the same partition
[18:06] <physically_fit> oh ok
[18:06] <Dr_willis> you reach an age.. where its just more background noise. ;)
[18:06] <Dr_willis> night all..
[18:06] <LinuxMonkey> !ot
[18:07] <physically_fit> night Dr_willis
[18:07] <harushimo> that is what I'm doing

[18:12] <domino14> where are the various places that the OOM killer can write its logs in Ubuntu 10.10 server?

[18:13] <Resistance> !10.10 | domino14, FYI
[18:13] <gauravkittz> raven, did you install it from the repo?
[18:13] <escott> what command was this
[18:13] <raven> gauravkittz yes
[18:13] <domino14> ok.. does that mean no one can answer my question?
[18:13] <tyteen4a03> escott: something about parted and /dev/sda
[18:13] <escott> tyteen4a03, sudo parted -l /dev/sda
[18:13] <tyteen4a03> ok
[18:13] <Resistance> domino14:  no, its just a note that 10.10 isnt supported anymore, so you wont get any updates (especially security updates)
[18:13] <KM0201> domino14: that means your OS is end of life...
[18:13] <xangua> domino14: since you are using an unsupported version
[18:13] <Resistance> domino14:  you can probably still get answers, but it'd be best for you to upgrade
[18:13] <domino14> it's like a year and a half old
[18:14] <KM0201> domino14: non-LTS is supported for 18mo.
[18:14] <tyteen4a03> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/985863/

[18:26] <wilee-nilee> escott, you can run that chroot in one line am I right?
[18:26] <iceroot> linuxfreaker: why?
[18:26] <domino14> what logs do i search for oom-killer messages?
[18:26] <iceroot> domino14: syslog
[18:26] <escott> wilee-nilee, huh?
[18:26] <iceroot> domino14: /var/log/syslog
[18:26] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588075
[18:27] <wilee-nilee> escott, this     sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/ubuntu; sudo mount --bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev; sudo mount --bind /proc /media/ubuntu/proc; sudo mount --bind /sys /media/ubuntu/sys; sudo chroot /media/ubuntu    in one line in the terminal I rarely have to chroot.
[18:27] <escott> domino14, doubt the oom killer does much logging that would somewhat defeat the purpose
[18:27] <tyteen4a03> escott, thanks, i will try now

[18:27] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: The new GRUB is throwing the error while booting 10.04 through UEFI Mode

[18:27] <wilee-nilee> escott, Ah I see it is missing any && between the sudo's
[18:27] <domino14> escott: i just want to determine if the oom killer is actually killing a process
[18:27] <domino14> escott: i have a process that mysteriously disappears
[18:27] <escott> domino14, check dmesg
[18:28] <escott> domino14, what does free -m say?
[18:28] <iceroot> linuxfreaker: and that bug is also affecting 12.04?

[18:28] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: Yes

[18:30] <escott> domino14, so with over 2GB free your first assumption is the oom killer?
[18:31] <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] <domino14> this is redis
[18:31] <domino14> sigh

[18:32] <geohacker> linuxfreaker: physical machine. xubuntu 11.10 --> xubuntu 12.04

[18:42] <linux> hi
[18:42] <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
[18:44] <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.

[18:50] <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.

[18:56] <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

[19:27] <Guest49109> cat anyone here in Slovak
[19:28] <jeeves_moss> what causes "smtpd[32234]: lost connection after EHLO from" with postfix?  no one is able to send e-mail
[19:28] <MonkeyDust> WHAT_LEFT  bash *is* the default
[19:28] <PySharky> MonkeyDust, yea i know all about root the point is i simple need it for my development box, besides this box is not meant to be a desktop box just dev
[19:28] <WHAT_LEFT> MonkeyDust: not on some server a friend lent me
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> WHAT_LEFT  i missed that part in your uestion
[19:29] <phaedra> !si Guest49109
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> PySharky  guess it's not possible to login as root, not sure, though
[19:30] <phaedra> !si | Guest49109
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <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
[19:34] <PySharky> hasn't anyone tried this before?
[19:35] <Oer> PySharky, "log in as root¨ ??
[19:35] <PySharky> no
[19:35] <PySharky> that works fine
[19:35] <PySharky> i cannot change unity to gnome classic for the root account
[19:36] <ikonia> PySharky: you don't login to X11 with root
[19:37] <PySharky> please guys i don't need any speaches about root, i need it for my python development project no way around it and its only a disposable dev box
[19:37] <ikonia> PySharky: you do not need it
[19:37] <ikonia> PySharky: there is zero reason to login to X11 as root
[19:38] <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
[19:39] <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> PySharky: you do not need root
[19:40] <PySharky> look ok to each his own, if you have an answer about why root is locked to untiy id like to hear the answer
[19:41] <AxonetBE> I'm updating from 9.10 to 10.04 and get this during update. Somebody knows what it means?
[19:41] <AxonetBE> https://gist.github.com/1317bba6ef7258c12e27
[19:41] <ikonia> PySharky: root is locked - full stop
[19:41] <PySharky> ikonia, amazing the box beside me is logged in right now
[19:41] <nopf> PySharky: isn't that obvious? any one cool enough to login as root surely has just apt-get removed the unity
[19:41] <ikonia> PySharky: no it's not, or you wouldn't be asking "why is it locked"
[19:42] <PySharky> ikonia,  you sitill didn't read my acutal question did you
[19:42] <PySharky> nopf, ok i see
[19:43] <ikonia> PySharky: you can't change the session for the root user under unity ?
[19:43] <PySharky> still doesn't explaiin why it cant be changed at the login
[19:43] <AxonetBE> I got always 'error: cannot read from `/dev/sdb'." when part of ubuntu is updating
[19:43] <ikonia> AxonetBE: is /dev/sdb there ?
[19:43] <AxonetBE> no I don't have this
[19:44] <Ucciucci> Hi to everyone
[19:44] <nopf> PySharky: nobody has tried loggin in as root under x because it's a bad idea and you don't need to, whatever you're doing... (except maybe for developing a new x server, where being root might be more convenient for a while)
[19:44] <AxonetBE> ikonia: no, not there.
[19:45] <Oer> AxonetBE, check your software sources, is the CD selected as source?
[19:45] <midgaze> any trick to getting the native zfs stuff working right?  I can import my FreeBSD pool but it's pretty broken
[19:46] <phoenix_firebrd> how do i increase the resolution of the video thumbnails shown by the nautilus
[19:46] <ikonia> AxonetBE: ok, so that's why it can't open it
[19:46] <AxonetBE> Oer: it is a server and I run via ssh and via the update tool sudo do-release-upgrade
[19:46] <midgaze> processes stalled in uninterruptible IO wait, even when it's "working" each zfs command takes multiple seconds to run
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> phoenix_firebrd: if you make the icons bigger, does that help?
[19:47] <AxonetBE> ikonia: yes but it is the sudo do-release-upgrade that I use so don't know why he looks for it
[19:47] <glcheetham> anyone have experience with SDL_net?
[19:47] <phoenix_firebrd> ActionParsnip, no, the size of the thumbnail increases , but the resolution of the thumbnail is poor and looks bad due to over scaling
[19:48] <ikonia> AxonetBE: looks like it's referenced in your grub config
[19:50] <AxonetBE> ikonia: everything went fine till this (log) https://gist.github.com/1317bba6ef7258c12e27
[19:52] <raven> ffmpeg how to encode to mpeg2 with iframes only?
[19:52] <CarlFK> raven: I would ask in #ffmpeg
[19:53] <newb100> How do I change screen saver settings from the terminal?
[19:53] <ikonia> AxonetBE: you are using meta devices
[19:53] <ikonia> AxonetBE: they are made up of multiple disks
[19:53] <AxonetBE> ikonia: it is a server on OVH so no idea
[19:54] <ikonia> AxonetBE: ok, so /dev/md* is a metadevice made up of multiple disks
[19:54] <ikonia> AxonetBE: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[19:55] <AxonetBE> ikonia:  https://gist.github.com/2689935
[19:55] <ikonia> AxonetBE: right, so you do have a /dev/sdb
[19:56] <newb100> How do I change screen saver settings from the terminal?
[19:56] <AxonetBE> ikonia: so it means?
[19:56] <ikonia> AxonetBE: so it means there is a /dev/sdb - you need to look at whats trying to access it and why it can't
[19:57] <ikonia> AxonetBE: also look at your /etc/fstab
[19:57] <ikonia> AxonetBE: and /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:57] <AxonetBE> ikonia: Running postinst hook script /usr/sbin/update-grub. this occurs the problem
[19:58] <mfb> anyone know how to add the temporary guest accounts to a group when they are created?
[19:58] <ikonia> AxonetBE: ok, so look at the grub config
[19:59] <SaNFouR> HI
[19:59] <SaNFouR> HI
[19:59] <SaNFouR> I WANT BNC
[19:59] <SaNFouR> or bots
[19:59] <ikonia> SaNFouR: then get one
[19:59] <FloodBot1> SaNFouR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:59] <grpace> Greetings All !!  I have just upgraded to 12.04 LTS.  Is there a way to add/remove launchers on the Unity Panel ?
[19:59] <SaNFouR> ikonia how ? i can get one
[19:59] <AxonetBE> ikonia: where to have to look at in the grub.cnf?
[19:59] <ikonia> SaNFouR: find a provider
[20:00] <ikonia> AxonetBE: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:00] <mfb> in my case i want to automatically add the guest users to debian-tor group, but could also be useful for adding them to dialout group etc.
[20:00] <AxonetBE> ikonia:  /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory
[20:00] <ikonia> AxonetBE: on a 9.10 machine ?
[20:01] <AxonetBE> but it is already updated to 10.04
[20:01] <ikonia> AxonetBE: should still be there on 10.04
[20:01] <Kovica> How do I add kernel modules to the kernel used during installation? I'm using alternate CD.
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> Kovica: sudo modprobe modulename
[20:02] <moes> AxonetBE, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> Kovica: you can press CTRL+ALT+F2 and run it there
[20:03] <AxonetBE> moes: ikonia: no idea what I have to check here , https://gist.github.com/2689971
[20:04] <ikonia> !info linux-image 10.04
[20:04] <Kovica> ActionParsnip: And how to I customize the installation process to load the module?
[20:05] <ikonia> !info linux-image natty,
[20:05] <Noo-Onee>  Hi
[20:05] <ikonia> !info linux-image natty
[20:06] <Noo-Onee> Hello people
[20:06] <dns_issue> I am having trouble with my ubuntu 12.04 LTS server setup with static ip.  I cannot get ubuntu to recognize the "search xyz.com xyz.local" entries in the resolv.conf..
[20:06] <ikonia> !info linux-image lucid
[20:06] <dns_issue> any brave soles here who have been bitten by ubuntu before ?
[20:06] <ikonia> dns_issue: what ?
[20:07] <Leestons> dns_issue:  I don't understand you either
[20:07] <dns_issue> I have static IP address on ubuntu server 12.04
[20:08] <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
[20:09] <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 ?
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: you can set DNS servers in network manager
[20:10] <dns_issue> no network manager.
[20:10] <dns_issue> headless server
[20:10] <dns_issue> no gui
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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 ?
[20:13] <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
[20:14] <dns_issue> @ActionParsnip ?  what is wicd-cruses ?
[20:14] <dns_issue> no dnsmasq at all
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: a text based network manager tool, really handy (specially for wifi configs)
[20:14] <havard_> Anyone know how to solve this problem with wine: "Internal errors - invalid parameteres received"
[20:14] <Sidewinder> !repeat | havard_
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: that's cool. you can set dns in wicd-curses and it will create resolv.conf just like network manager does
[20:14] <dns_issue> no wifi.. static ubuntu LTS server for internal backend processing. not desktop
[20:15] <dkmt> hi everyone
[20:15] <Leestons> dkmt: hi
[20:15] <naxil> nannes i have solve.. i have installed chromium from ubuntu software center
[20:15] <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.
[20:16] <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...
[20:17] <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.
[20:18] <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? :(
[20:19] <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>
[20:20] <Darkenvy> Im looking for documentation on how to make your own Gnome3 themes
[20:21] <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?
[20:22] <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 :)
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> oops: where it says Pidgin Instant Messenger
[20:23] <Aress> Dudes
[20:23] <Aress> I have problem
[20:24] <guntbert> !ask | Aress
[20:24] <oops> ActionParsnip, what is this interface that puts the menu on the top of the screen?
[20:24] <Aress> when I updated from 10 to 11.10 version I can't see programs at top's bar like in 10.10 for ex. skype if I close windows I need to close skype with system monitor then turn it on :( how to fix it ?
[20:25] <ClientAlive> why is it so hard to find info on this?
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> oops: global-menu
[20:25] <ClientAlive> well, info that actually starts at the beginning not the middly
[20:26] <ClientAlive> middle
[20:26] <pambos> How to tell if Cron is running?
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> pambos: ps -ef | grep -i cron
[20:26] <ClientAlive> pambos: ps
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: info on what?
[20:26] <Aress> when I updated from 10 to 11.10 version I can't see programs at top's bar like in 10.10 for ex. skype if I close windows I need to close skype with system monitor then turn it on :( how to fix it ?
[20:26] <xangua> Aress: 10.??
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Aress: did you upgrade directly from Maverick to Precise?
[20:27] <Aress> Yes
[20:27] <Aress> 10.10
[20:27] <Aress> I did like this
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Aress: so you didn't upgrade to Natty, then to Oneiric
[20:27] <Aress> 10.10 then 11.04 and 11.11
[20:27] <pambos> ActionParsnip: Okay it seems that is running. But still I cannot see the Traffic usage of my server. The server is running plesk.
[20:27] <havard_> Anyone know how to solve this problem with wine: "Internal errors - invalid parameteres received"
[20:27] <xangua> Aress: well you surelly then did something strange to go from 10.10 to 11.10
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Aress: just checking :)
[20:27] <xangua> ooh that
[20:27] <ClientAlive> installing a kvm guest on a logical volume - the beginning part about the lvm stuff (how many? where to mount? if virt-manager has the feature to create it? exact syntax to use in fstab?)
[20:27] <Aress> I just upgraded version with update manager
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> pambos: could use ntop
[20:27] <RawChid> Can't use Adobe flash player - local storage
[20:28] <RawChid> It crashes after asking for permission. In Firefox and Chromium, any ideas?
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'    Thanks
[20:28] <ClientAlive> I just spent the last 2.5 hrs looking for it
[20:29] <pambos> ActionParsnip: But if i install ntop i will only able to see the traffic through putty? i need to show the traffic in the server interface.
[20:29] <Aress> I had same problem in the past
[20:29] <Aress> :(
[20:29] <Aress> It doesn't jump to top's line
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> pambos: ntop watches the interface itself
[20:30] <xangua> Aress: well if you want to quit skype from it's window use the Quit option in the menu or hit Control+Q ; it has always been like this
[20:30] <xangua> if you close just the windows skype still runs in the background
[20:30] <numberto> Hi guys, I have modem and there are a few people conneted to it. But someone is downloading something but so that all of us have pretty low connection. Is there a way to spot data hogger? (An app?)
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> numberto: ntop
[20:30] <pambos> ActionParsnip: So if i install ntop. The traffic ussage will start working in the userface are well?
[20:30] <Aress> omg

[20:31] <Aress> skype should be at top's line
[20:31] <Aress> but it doesn't
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Aress: have you tried uninstalling it, renaming ~/.Skype   then reinstalling the deb from the skype site and rerunning it?
[20:31] <Aress> IT WITH ALL PROGRAMS
[20:32] <Aress> before upgrading was fine

[20:32] <Aress> I don't use caps
[20:32] <Aress> I use shift :D
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Aress: well you never said 'for example' so it looks like its purely a skpe issue, doesn't it?

[20:33] <Aress> I said

[20:33] <rfictus> hi all

[20:42] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: Remember my Ivy Bridge crashing? 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'. Sounds pretty straightforward; either the CPU made a mistake (overheat; which is not the case) or there are severe crashing bugs that let Ubuntu crash in 2D/3D mode within a few hours of use.
[20:42] <RawChid> I already gave it...
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: you can add settings to flash using the /etc/adobe.mms.cfg file :)
[20:43] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: should i make a bug report?
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: missed it, must have not addressed it to me (as a guess), let me see
[20:43] <Aress> how to open top's bar's settings? :(
[20:43] <RawChid> No problem.
[20:43] <RawChid> I don't have that file ActionParsnip, do I need to create it?
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: uninstall flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package, it will give 64bit flash for your 64bit OS
[20:44] <Guest6528> what should i search to make a script that takes in from a pipe? like grep?
[20:44] <ClientAlive> hasn't anyone here ever installed a kvm guest to a logical volume before?
[20:44] <RawChid> Oke thnx
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Guest6528: do you mean like arguments to a script?
[20:46] <aliciapg> does anyone have experience with ps3 media server?
[20:47] <conradzz> So just made a bootable usb of Ubuntu 64 bit edition, and when I try to boot from it, I get a vmlinuz not found
[20:47] <j0bi> is ubuntu 64bit having program and harware incompatibilities
[20:47] <j0bi> i want to intall 12.04 to my dell inspiron 64bit
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> conradzz: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[20:48] <j0bi> but i am afraid if i have uncompatibility problems
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: the drivers are compiled for both 32bit and 64bit on the CD
[20:48] <conradzz> no but I will, I did browse through the ISO and noticed there is a vmlinuz file
[20:49] <pambos> Guys, I installed ntop. I tried to start it and i get this error http://pastebin.com/F1GsjKvf any ideas?
[20:49] <Aress> How to customize Top's bar?
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> conradzz: if you don't MD5 test then you have no way of knowing the data you downloaded is healthy and complete
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> pambos: is your interface called eth0?
[20:49] <j0bi> ActionParsnip: what about flash java firefox and other software
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: there is 64bit flash and 64bit java
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: there is 64bit firefox
[20:50] <naxil> for hspa+ i need special repository?
[20:50] <xangua> Aress: could this be what you search¿ http://linux.wxs.ro/2011/07/14/ubuntu-11-04-fix-show-all-iconsindicators-in-unity-panel%E2%80%99s-notification-area/
[20:50] <RawChid> ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip, installing the adobe-flashplugin didn't help. Still the same issues. How do I need to remove the old flashplugin-installer? (I just did apt-get remove)
[20:50] <conradzz> any recommendations for a simply easy md5 checker?
[20:50] <pambos> ActionParsnip: I have no idea. it is a vps server.
[20:50] <naxil> or ubuntu can command 14.4mbit or 28,8 umts/hspa/hspa+?
[20:50] <Monotoko> does anybody know how I can make xchat remember my username? It always reverts to my Linux username
[20:51] <guntbert> !md5sum | conradzz
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | conradzz
[20:51] <Aress> I HATE THIS FUCKING UNITY :@
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: yes apt-get is fine
[20:51] <oops> I get the Pidgin menu in Ubuntu only after maximizng Pidgin.
[20:51] <IdleOne> !language | Aress
[20:51] <oops> I can't get the menu without maximizing Pidgin?
[20:51] <png85> Guest6528, just read stuff from standard input; e.g. try cat somefile | perl -e 'while (<STDIN>) { print $_; }' and you'll see how it works
[20:51] <Aress> Sorry
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> Aress: don't use it then, install xfce4, log into xfce session and you'll be ok
[20:51] <j0bi> cain i install 32bit progs to 64bit ubuntu
[20:51] <Aress> but it's really
[20:52]  * Monotoko is still on 10.04
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: yes, Precies and Oneiric are multi-arch
[20:52] <rottik9> kinda new, how do i know if i have 12.04 kde gnome or what?   and what is the difference with these?
[20:52] <xangua> rottik9: Ubuntu comes with gnome, Kubuntu with kde
[20:52] <Aress> It's good but I need to add skype terrent and other programs at tops'bar like in 10.10 :(
[20:52] <flack-Z> Aress, me to i hate it also :D
[20:53] <oops> any help with my unity interface question?
[20:53] <rottik9> i added and now boot to edubuntu?
[20:53] <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] <pambos> Even though it seems to start working I am getting a new error : Please enable make sure that the ntop html/ directory is properly installed
[20:53] <xangua> oops: only put the cursor in the top bar to show the Global Menu
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Aress: xfce will run and look like Maverick Gnome
[20:53] <oops> xangua, like hover the cursor there? no clicking?
[20:53] <pambos> Here about this error https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntop/+bug/915119 they argue Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
[20:54] <mneptok> ActionParsnip: Xubuntu = top panel and bottom dock
[20:54] <pambos> ActionParsnip: I will be very greatful if you answer me one more time :)
[20:54] <oops> can I do something to get back the menu attached to the Pidgin window? It is inconvenient to go to the top corner for every time.
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> pambos: wassup?
[20:54] <Aress> ActionParsnip I just need to add them to that bar where you can turn off pc shows time and your user name
[20:54] <Resistance> pambos:  you might need bugsquad input on this, mind hoping into -bugs about that bug?
[20:55] <rottik9> as well i found voice reconation in windows trough dragon very handy, can i have this on linux?
[20:55] <guest3030> crunchbang test
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> rottik9: there is a project to allow dragon to run
[20:55] <oops> is there a separate unity channel? or unity is a product of ubuntu?
[20:55] <Resistance> pambos:  also, FYI, the system automatically sets 'confirmed' if two or more people show they have thebug
[20:56] <rottik9> I see, i wonder if it strightforward.
[20:56] <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.
[20:57] <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] <Resistance> pambos:  wait to see whether or not the bug gets updated/fixed?
[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
[20:58] <Resistance> pambos:  not much you can do at this point, with a bug being filed
[20:58] <Aress> ACtionParsnip
[20:58] <ClientAlive> seems I could google till my fingers bleed and not find this piece of info
[20:58] <oops> ActionParsnip, ok
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: try www.duckduckgo.com
[20:58] <usberror> Hi! I created a bootable usb on mac (followed instuctions on ubuntu.com) and when i try to boot from it I get: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
[20:58] <flack-Z> unity is crazy
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> usberror: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[20:58] <pambos> Resistance: is it safe when installing software to leave the default ports such as the 3000 in the case of ntop ?
[20:58] <conradzz> usberror, how'd you create the usb drive?
[20:59] <Resistance> pambos:  if its listening on localhost only, yep.
[20:59] <RealEyes> is there a converter for rmvb > avi on ubuntu?
[20:59] <Aress> there is a bar at the top which shows you the time language user name and you can turn off pc thorugh it. Is possible to add skype,torrent and else like on 10.10?
[20:59] <usberror> ActionParsnip, its not an MD5 error already checked
[20:59] <Resistance> pambos:  if its listening externally, then that's a toss-up
[20:59] <pambos> Okay thanks very much for the info. I think i might solve it.
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> usberror: its worth a check, many don't and you didn't say you tested :)
[20:59] <Aress> omg
[20:59] <Aress> I wrote gnome-shell replace
[20:59] <Aress> and everything destroyed
[20:59] <Aress> :D
[20:59] <magic_al> i have accidentally overwritten my delete-key with another shortcut and i dont know how to change it back. can anyone help me please?
[21:00] <usberror> conradzz, i followed the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[21:00] <Aress> how to turn it off ?
[21:00] <conradzz> and did you choose when you boot up to boot from usb?
[21:00] <xacobe_cimadevil> hola *-*
[21:01] <xacobe_cimadevil> nadie habla :c
[21:01] <IdleOne> !es
[21:01] <oops> ActionParsnip, what if I don't know what menus exist in Pidgin beforehand?
[21:01] <oops> ActionParsnip, can HUD help me then?
[21:01] <ClientAlive> thx ActionParsnip
[21:02] <essomba84_> se
[21:02] <usberror> conradzz, yes
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> oops: it exists in all apps dude
[21:03] <conradzz> what kind of usb drive is it usberror?
[21:03] <usberror> conradzz, tried it with an SD card and sony USB drive, both same error
[21:04] <oops> ActionParsnip, no I mean, how do I access the "Tools" menu of Pidgin without moving the mouse pointer to the top left corner if I don't know "Tools" menu is there in Pidgin.
[21:06] <conradzz> are you completely formatting the drive right before you do it?
[21:06] <usberror> conradzz, yep
[21:06] <K-Rich> is there a way to get the floating scroll bars (on the right) into firefox as well?
[21:06] <flack-Z> oops i must sometime kill the pidgin becouse  the left corner with menu is something no wisible
[21:06] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: I may have isolated my Ivy Bridge GPU crash issue with Ubuntu bug 966399. The bug says this is 'fixed in Mesa'. But looking with Synaptic i cant find any installed package mesa. There is mesa-utils, but it is not installed. How can i check whether I received the fix?
[21:06] <conradzz> you don't have another computer to try it on do you?
[21:07] <oops> flack-Z, oh. btw do you know any way to avoid going to the left corner every time?
[21:08] <renode> !up
[21:08] <flack-Z> oops no a dont know what i must use this st*pid function in left corner of all apps
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: not sure dude, remember to add the fact that you are affected too
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> oops: the windows key brings up dash too, nice shortcut :)
[21:09] <oops> ActionParsnip, but how do open the "Buddy" menu of Pidgin using that?
[21:09] <flack-Z> oops at this time i reflect on kubuntu :D
[21:09] <oops> I mean my goal is to avoid going to the top left corner every time.
[21:09] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: but if it is fixed and i received all updates that are available; why does it still crash. :(    Either i did not receive the fix, or my issue is still different though similar. Probably will file a new bug report then.
[21:10] <ring1> is !nounity, actually for 11.10, still the correct trigger for 12.04?
[21:11] <usberror> conradzz, ill try
[21:11] <trism> ring1: yes, the instructions are the same
[21:12] <conradzz> sorry I can't be of more help, but its either the way its being formatted or its the computer
[21:12] <zowsz> lol
[21:12] <Guest2681> 8888
[21:12] <flack-Z> oops maybe this was be a god idea ? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/
[21:13] <usberror> conradzz, dosnt work there either
[21:13] <conradzz> then its gotta be the way your creating the drive
[21:13] <Guest2681> hello
[21:13] <Guest2681> ;
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: could add taht you are affected by the bug and haven't got the update etc..
[21:14] <Guest2681> hey r u ..
[21:14] <usberror> conradzz, it shouldnt work on that pc though becauce its not a mac
[21:14] <Guest2681> hi yamama
[21:14] <conradzz> ah, I thought you were trying it on another mac
[21:15] <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] <conradzz> but in reality I don't see why it wouldn't work, I'd try making the bootable drive on windows
[21:15] <conradzz> and then using it on the mac
[21:15] <usberror> +1 for mate
[21:16] <ring1> ActionParsnip, alright, will do so. but i guess throughout 12.04 gnome-panel in ubuntu will be maintained
[21:16] <K-Rich> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MATE
[21:16] <mongy> ring1, I'd personally use xfce these days.  I come from gnome2 wasteland.  jmho
[21:17] <usberror> conradzz, cant that PC is running arch linux
[21:17] <ring1> mongy, thanks for your opionion. i myself got used to gnome-shell and love it. just need something for a parents pc ;)
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> ring1: i'd imagine so
[21:19] <ring1> ActionParsnip, 5 years should be enough future planing for now
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> ring1: could always use a different DE if gnome-panel is dropped.
[21:21] <ring1> ActionParsnip, yes, indeed
[21:23] <Klackon> Can anyone help me with resolv.conf issues with server 12.04 LTS
[21:23] <Klackon>  ?
[21:23] <conradzz> so I installed ubuntu now and what do you know, it didn't install grub
[21:24] <Klackon> @ conradzz : Use your livecd.. boot into the system and use rescue option.
[21:24] <cyrex> I have a problem sharing with samba a folder outside of the /home folder. A quick resume of the problem is here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131811/samba-sharing-from-an-ntfs-partition-or-outside-home-folder
[21:24] <usberror> Has anyone here sucsessfully installed ubuntu on a mac from a USB?
[21:24] <CarlFK> is there a yahoo client that supports video?  pidgin only does video on xmpp.
[21:25] <RealEyes> for some reason, transferring my files from my home folder into an external drive is taking forever
[21:25] <RealEyes> its only going 28k per second
[21:25] <RealEyes> thoughts on how to fix this?
[21:25] <DarwinSurvivor> CarlFK: Someone said kopete works with yahoo video. Also give empathy a try (if you prefer a GTK app)
[21:26] <CarlFK> RealEyes: my guess is usb1, or is the external disk or flashram/thumbdirve ?
[21:26] <usberror> CarlFK, try empathy
[21:26] <RealEyes> its actually an internal disk
[21:26] <RealEyes> Sata
[21:26] <CarlFK> thanks - empathy it is
[21:26] <DarwinSurvivor> RealEyes: so it's *not* an "external drive"?
[21:26] <Waraudon> Is there a way to automount USB drives in 12.04 without using usbmount? I'd prefer if the names in /media were the disk label, not "usb, usb0, usb1" etc...
[21:26] <DarwinSurvivor> CarlFK: did empathy work with yahoo video?
[21:27] <conradzz> klackon what do you mean by rescue mode?
[21:27] <CarlFK> DarwinSurvivor: give me at least 30 seconds to get it installed :)
[21:27] <DarwinSurvivor> conradzz: he's gone
[21:27] <DarwinSurvivor> CarlFK: lol, ok
[21:27] <RealEyes> yea, sorry
[21:27] <RealEyes> its an internal NTFS disk
[21:28] <stef1a> how can i access files through a terminal ssh but open them in my desktop/locally? (i.e., if i have music files on an external drive, how can i open them to be played on my local machine?)
[21:28] <stef1a> i've tried -X, -t, export DISPLAY=:0...
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: use a network share, samba is quick and easy to setup
[21:29] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: I've been advised to do this before; thanks, i'll look into it.
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: if you have SSH server running then you have an SFTP server that you can mount using nautilus
[21:29] <RealEyes> What happened was, the quibber bit torrent client was set to store temp downloads in the folder on my ubuntu SSD
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: no need for extra services then :D
[21:29] <RealEyes> and then I turned that off while it was downloading
[21:29] <RealEyes> now I cant get the torrent to download
[21:29] <RealEyes> and my other storage disk is b0rked
[21:29] <RealEyes> just going super slow
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> RealEyes: use a tempfs then
[21:29] <RealEyes> tried rebooting already
[21:30] <RealEyes> i dont need them to be temp stored though
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <RealEyes> DarwinSurvivor, its hanging and my xchat is actingup now too
[21:32] <RealEyes> i might have effed this SSD
[21:33] <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...?
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <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?
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <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!
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> simplew: wanna bet?
[21:38] <narctix> DarwinSurvivor so would be against support because of that
[21:38] <simplew> ActionParsnip: show me please
[21:39] <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] <simplew> totesmuhgoats: where the heel did i speak about windowzzz?
[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> simplew: as I said, they are suffixed with :i386
 zowsz: well that's required for getting a cloak. please see /msg nickserv help register
[21:40] <simplew> ActionParsnip: lets refer to for example libkactivities6 package
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> simplew: so your petulant "22:38 < simplew> ActionParsnip: are no!" is flat WRONG
[21:40] <narctix> DarwinSurvivor I didnt meen setting root alone just what can be done with root against the Ubuntu base
[21:40] <zowsz> can someone help?
[21:40] <DarwinSurvivor> totesmuhgoats: I'm not sure who here are Canonical employees but it would not surprise me in the slightest if there were a few lurking around
[21:40] <wylde> totesmuhgoats: 99.9% volunteers in here.
[21:40] <simplew> ActionParsnip: excuse me that part
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> simplew: its cool
[21:40] <totesmuhgoats> DarwinSurvivor: yea i am not asking for names or anything, im just wondering in what way this channel is "official"
[21:40] <simplew> ActionParsnip: can you please show me the package for 64bits of libkactivites6?
[21:41] <DarwinSurvivor> zowsz: please ask your question, if someone is able to help answer it, they will.
[21:41] <narctix> the paid people dont have the passion to be here out of hours if at all
[21:41] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i dont know how to touch with apt, im used to handle with rpm and urpmi
[21:41] <zowsz> ok
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> simplew: similar system, different command :)
[21:41] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: this is the official ubuntu IRC support channel. It's purpose is to help support users who do not pay for a support package (most home users).
[21:42] <zowsz> i need get a cloak to my host '-'
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> zowsz: why do you need a cloak?
[21:42] <simplew> ActionParsnip: but there we use to name 65 bits libraryes with prefix lib64 so all 64bit lib packages will be named starting with lib64
[21:42] <totesmuhgoats> ActionParsnip: he's thinking about becoming a magician
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> simplew: if you install a 32bit deb file, the apt system will pul in the 32bit deps for you
[21:42] <Oer> zowsz, join #freenode they can help you with a cloak
[21:42] <totesmuhgoats> simplew: you are making this way harder than it needs to be
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> simplew: the 64bit libe will go in /usr/lib
[21:42] <simplew> ActionParsnip: of course, but wasmt that whati asked
[21:43] <narctix> DarwinSurvivor Sorry for the mix up
[21:43] <zowsz> I do not know everyone I know is I also want a
[21:43] <simplew> ActionParsnip: can you show the packages for libkactivites6, both arches?
[21:43] <totesmuhgoats> simplew: what you asked is how they have the same name, but they don't
[21:43] <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] <totesmuhgoats> the actual files are placed in lib and lib32, the packages have different names
[21:43] <zowsz> sure
[21:44] <simplew> DarwinSurvivor: e really noob for what i can see
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> !find activites
[21:44] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: your last comment didn't make much sense (was it cut off?)
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> simplew: try:  packages.ubuntu.com
[21:44] <TemporaryName123> Help!! something is wrong with youtube video, the color are mess up like brown skin is blue color and black hair is orange color.  This is when I view it in flash when I watch in html5 version the color is fine.  I think this only happens in youtube because I've tried vimeo, veoh, dailymotion flash videos and the color is normal... I did sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer command so I have latest version
[21:44] <bennypr0fane> hello, I'm wondering how i can make sure my laptop's will do fine with 12.04. i found minimum hw
[21:45] <simplew> isnt there a tool to query packages names?
[21:45] <DarwinSurvivor> TemporaryName123: this is a known problem, I don't personally know the fix, so give me a minute to look it up
[21:45] <totesmuhgoats> TemporaryName123: i have experienced that, so have some other people i know. I think it has to do with the nvidia driver and vdpau
[21:45] <zowsz> I want a cloak for my host, where can I get?
[21:45] <bennypr0fane> hello, I'm wondering how i can make sure my laptop's will do fine with 12.04. i found minimum hw requirements but not recommended ones
[21:45] <LjL> zowsz: in #freenode
[21:45] <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?
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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] <RealEyes> DarwinSurvivor, I had to reboot because my machine was freezing up.
[21:48] <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] <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?
[21:49] <RealEyes> DarwinSurvivor, where do I get those?
[21:49] <Joe42> hi can somebody help me fix unity?
[21:49] <Resistance> !details | Joe42
[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
[21:50] <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).
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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?
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <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] <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
[21:55] <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] <simplew> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[21:55] <simplew>  libkactivities6:i386 : Depends: libkdecore5:i386 (>= 4:4.8.1) but it is not going to be installed
[21:55] <simplew>                         Depends: libkactivities-bin:i386 (= 4:4.8.2-0ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
[21:55] <simplew> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[21:55] <akash> anyideas on how i can install the patch?
[21:55] <akash> patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.6.2-cross_compile-1.patch
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> hash: title is whatever you want, host is irc.freenode.net port is 6667
[21:55] <akash> thats the line
[21:55] <wylde> hash: it's an open proxy checker.
[21:56] <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] <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
[21:57] <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
[21:58] <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] <akash> and i get this error
[21:58] <akash> lfs@ubuntu:/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-4.6.2$ patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.6.2-cross_compile-1.patch
[21:58] <akash> The program 'patch' is currently not installed.  To run 'patch' please ask your administrator to install the package 'patch'
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> narctix: depends which distribution really
[21:58] <simplew> ActionParsnip: go rean apt-get manul, he does it through the repos
 i have gnome would that work?
[21:58] <simplew> s/rean/read
[21:58] <DarwinSurvivor> !paste
[21:58] <hash> wylde do u mean the sasl access message
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> simplew: could try gdebi
[21:59] <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
[22:00] <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
[22:01] <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
[22:02] <OccupyDemonoid> Joe42, Hit control+alt+delete. That is how I log out.
[22:02] <narctix> actionparsnip Im not here for support
[22:02] <Joe42> DarwinSurvivor: ok thanks il be back in a whyle
[22:02] <zowsz_> [NickServ] Syntax: REGISTER <password> <email-address>

[22:02] <ActionParsnip> akash: what is your issue?
[22:03] <akash> ive been doing lfs

[22:03] <ActionParsnip> akash: sudo apt-get install patch
[22:03] <akash> i have the patch in a folder
[22:03] <ring1> ActionParsnip, fyi: gnome-panel will be around as long as necessary, which means once most computers should be capable of running gnome-shell (f.e. using llvmpipe) it won't be maintained anymore (at least not by the current maintainers)
[22:03] <akash> patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.6.2-cross_compile-1.patch
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> akash: yes but you need the patch program so you can run the command 'patch#
[22:04] <akash> thats the line im suppose to use
[22:04] <DarwinSurvivor> akash: it's not the patch that is missing, it is the "patch program" that *performs* the patches that is missing (the error is a little confusing)
[22:04] <goggu> My HDMI monitor shows too large a screen, I can't click buttons.
[22:04] <TemporaryName123> ActionParsnip, that command that you gave me worked, tyvm.
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> ring1: gotcha
[22:04] <Joe42> how can i open tomboy from the terminal so i can write down the commando
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> TemporaryName123: np
[22:04] <akash> so i type in that line you gave me
[22:04] <Joe42> command+
[22:04] <akash> then the one in the book?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> TemporaryName123: I suggest you backup that file for if you need to reinstall
[22:04] <wylde> hash: you coould check with the folks in #freenode if you're concerned. :)
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> akash: yes, your system doesn't have the command 'patch'
[22:04] <narctix> whats the ubuntu chat channel?
[22:04] <TemporaryName123> ActionParsnip, will do :)

[22:06] <Joe42> but i tried tomboy and it did not load, and tomboy-notes and it did not load either
[22:06] <persona> goggu: did you read my issue lol
[22:06] <DarwinSurvivor> Joe42: you should not run these commands from within unity as removing unity (while it is running) could cause your session to crash.
[22:06] <hash> eh ill get it figured out eventually its not really a need just a want
[22:06] <endtype> i have a quesion about the ubuntu windows installer: when it asks me for the installation size, is that the size of the partition it's going to make? or is it going to install over my windows os...cuz  i wanna dual boot
[22:07] <persona> goggu: yeah its pretty easy though to fix that bit took me a while to find the option
[22:07] <narctix> akash your password sounds wron what does sudo passwd then change password resolve in?
[22:07] <hash> dual boot uis a pain
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> endtype: that is the size of the file on your NTFS which will be used as the ubuntu 'disk'
[22:07] <DarwinSurvivor> !dualboot | endtype
 rigth, and i wont, but before i go to gnome i want to wirte down the command he gave me, and its better copy past to keep the exact same command
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> endtype: the more you assign, the more space ubuntu will be given but it will take more of your NTFS partition up
[22:08] <akash> lfs@ubuntu:/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-4.6.2$ sudo apt-get install patch
[22:08] <akash> [sudo] password for lfs:
[22:08] <akash> lfs is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[22:08] <DarwinSurvivor> Joe42: actually, just run "gnome-shell --replace", then you don't have to log out :)
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> akash: then you will need an admin to install the package for you as you are not in the admin group
[22:08] <wylde> akash: then that user doesn't have sudo access.
[22:08] <akash> kk
[22:08] <Joe42> oh ok thanks
[22:08] <akash> so how do you switch back to your original user ?:S
[22:09] <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<
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <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.
[22:12] <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
[22:13] <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
[22:15] <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?
[22:16] <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] <ActionParsnip> remlabm: use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[22:17] <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?
[22:18] <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?
[22:19] <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
[22:20] <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
[22:21] <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)
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <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
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <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
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <narctix> reinstalls the reason roll backs and backups exist!
[22:28] <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] <whateverdude> anyone using any version of ubuntu on a macbook pro?
[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!
[22:29] <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
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> jpsman: could ask in #bash too
[22:30] <jpsman> what like grep \xab *  ?
[22:31] <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?
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <DarwinSurvivor> !patience | whateverdude
[22:33] <jpsman> see my dilema?  I want to know in which file a hex value is found...
[22:33] <DarwinSurvivor> whateverdude: if you want an answer to a question, you need to ask the question ;)
[22:33] <whateverdude> DarwinSurvivor: i waited 5 minutes
[22:34] <jpsman> whateverdude apparently not - or atleast one looking at the screen
[22:34] <hash> joe42 what troubles are u having in unity
[22:34] <DarwinSurvivor> jpsman: try $'\x##'
[22:35] <DarwinSurvivor> hash: he's long gone
[22:35] <hash> oh
[22:35] <jpsman> DarwinSurvivor as a command alone or as the grep search pattern?
[22:36] <DarwinSurvivor> whateverdude: there may not be any macbook pro users here, but there may be users here who know how to fix a macbook pro problem.
[22:36] <hash> so does have to be name: to highlight to that person
[22:36] <sckedsfed> !ffmpeg
[22:36] <DarwinSurvivor> whateverdude: please post your problem and anyone that can help you will do their best
[22:36] <DarwinSurvivor> jpsman: as the grep search string. I think that's the bash escape sequence for hex
[22:36] <sckedsfed> !h264
[22:36] <DarwinSurvivor> jpsman: "grep $'\x##' -R *"
[22:36] <whateverdude> DarwinSurvivor: it usually ends with people saying "i don't remember but try this..." and useless stuff like that :<
[22:37] <T800> Hello.
[22:37] <DarwinSurvivor> whateverdude: well, it's better than getting nothing!
[22:37] <Loshki> hash: depends on your client, but name: usually highlights for most people...
[22:37] <hasenj> please help, my X server won't start, when I try 'xinit' I get: xterm: undefined symbol _XGetRequest
[22:37] <DarwinSurvivor> hash: name, also works (I think that's the x-chat default for some installs)
[22:38] <hash> loshki: thanks
[22:38] <Thisguy_> My software refuses to start, thinks I'm missing OpenCL, anything I can do?
[22:38] <Thisguy_> Not ubuntu itself
[22:38] <hash> DarwinSurvivor: yeah ive seen that too with the highlighted text
[22:39] <chrisgeorge> After upgrading to 12.04, GRUB is not booting kernel 3.2 by default. No timer, no default selection. Is there a way to fix this?
[22:39] <DarwinSurvivor> hash: please post your .xinitrc and the entire output of your terminal sessions to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[22:39] <whateverdude> DarwinSurvivor: i just installed ubuntu and when connecting my macbook pro to my external monitor the resolution is stuck at something like 1280x800 and the rest of the monitor is black. it also tells me "monitor unknown" or something like that.
[22:39] <DarwinSurvivor> hash: if you are unable to run a web browser, install pastebinit using apt-get
[22:39] <hash> DarwinSurvivor: what
[22:39] <Ninja-1> whateverdude: sounds like it's using the vesa driver
[22:39] <DarwinSurvivor> hash: sorry
[22:39] <jpsman> DarwinSurvivor, is it possible to do a wild card search?  so kinda like grep $'\xab\xcd\x(wildcard)' *   ?
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> chrisgeorge: hold shift and select the new kernel, then run:  sudo update-grub    in the desktop
[22:40] <whateverdude> Ninja-1: more info, please
[22:40] <RealEyes> does compiz still work with 12.x?
[22:40] <RealEyes> Im trying to configure hot corners
[22:40] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: you are unable to run a web browser, install pastebinit using apt-get
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> RealEyes: yes its default installed
[22:40] <Ninja-1> whateverdude: vesa is the driver that's used when none of the others work. what's your GPU?
[22:40] <chrisgeorge> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I remote boot it usually so I guess I'll have to go to it directly. Thanks :)
[22:40] <jpsman> RealEyes, I found the cube and 4 desktops didn't work for me
[22:40] <DarwinSurvivor> jpsman: sorry, replace ## by the hex code of the character you are searching for
[22:40] <wylde> jpsman DarwinSurvivor -- possible to script a hexdump and search file by file? (just a thought)
[22:41] <hash> whateverdude: sounds like a driver issue
[22:41] <whateverdude> Ninja-1: oh, ok. nvidia something
[22:41] <narctix> jpsman what you trying to extarct?
[22:41] <whateverdude> Ninja-1: want me to find the full name?
[22:41] <RealEyes> ActionParsnip, where can I find it?
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> RealEyes: no idea, I hate compiz
[22:41] <Ninja-1> whateverdude: yeah, that could be helpful. try "lspci"
[22:41] <RealEyes> This quick search doesnt work that well
[22:41] <whateverdude> Ninja-1: hold on. i'm gonna need to boot it up!
[22:42] <DarwinSurvivor> wylde jpsman you could use a "while read filename" style bash loop to perform the search
[22:42] <jpsman> I am trying to search a bunch of files for a hex value then a wild card BUT hexdump | grep doesn't specify the file it finds ....
[22:42] <Ninja-1> whateverdude: ok. also, what version of Ubuntu is it running?
[22:42] <wylde> jpsman: yeah, I meant dump each file and search, then move on to the next.
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> jpsman: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6319878/using-grep-to-search-for-hex-strings-in-a-file
[22:43] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: are you still there?
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> jpsman: http://www.issociate.de/board/post/473764/Search_regular_expression_with_search_for_hex_values_in_files?.html
[22:43] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: yes, thanks, trying to figure out how to redirect error stream to output - got it
[22:43] <hasenj> one sec
[22:44] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: alright
[22:44] <hasenj> http://paste.ubuntu.com/986307/
[22:44] <whateverdude> Ninja-1: did you see my pm?
[22:45] <Ninja-1> whateverdude: nope, i'm new to IRC...lemme see if i can
[22:45] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: alright, it appears you are trying to use fglrx but don't have it installed
[22:45] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: how can I tell it to not use fglrx?
[22:45] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: little hint for reading Xorg error outputs, look for (EE) - they signify errors :)
[22:45] <remlabm> I blacklisted the nueveau drivers, and installed the nvidia drivers from their site. Now i cannot get to login screen. Any ideas?
[22:46] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: first let's determine if it's not installed or simply not loading.
[22:46] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: it's not installed -- I uninstalled it
[22:46] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: ah, well that would cause problem!
[22:47] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: well, I wanted to use the open source driver
[22:47] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: is there a particular reason you uninstalled it?
[22:47] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: ah, ok
[22:47] <CrazyGangster> hello ppl, my XFS partition is almost full and i need to grow the partition without lose my data
[22:47] <CrazyGangster> There is a way to change the partition beginning point without move all data to the first blocks (like gparted do)?
[22:47] <CrazyGangster> http://i46.tinypic.com/2i9nvwm.png
[22:47] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: I did a dpk-reconfigure after that
[22:48] <whateverdude> Ninja-1: is this it? nvidia geforce 9400m
[22:48] <Guest52271> need link or tutorial for my new os
[22:48] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: and what did you chose when you ran reconfigure?
[22:48] <DarwinSurvivor> !tutorial | Guest52271
[22:48] <jpsman> ActionParsnip, well pretty much that except across multiple files in a directory
[22:49] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: I was following a wiki page, I think it was xorg-xserver or xorg-xserver-core
[22:49] <Loshki> jpsman: might have to resort to something like:  find . -type f -ls -regex '<regular expression' -ls
[22:49] <Guest52271> do you have any video tutorials
[22:49] <night_shades> negative
[22:49] <DarwinSurvivor> jpsman: was it a wiki page from ubuntu's website, or a 3rd party location?
[22:50] <Loshki> !manual | Guest52271
[22:50] <night_shades> anyone know how to connect to this channel using andchat irc through android device
[22:50] <jpsman> DarwinSurvivor third party stackoverflow :0D
[22:50] <osgi> h
[22:50] <mango_> anyone recommend a tool to download videos as mp3's on Ubuntu?
[22:50] <DarwinSurvivor> Guest52271: ubuntu does not currently host many (any?) video tutorials. youtube is a great place to find them though
[22:50] <osgi> /?
[22:50] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: if that was for me, I think it was from ubuntu's wiki
[22:50] <hasenj> though it might have been for an older version
[22:51] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: yeah, sorry
[22:52] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: do you use a custom .xinitrc file?
[22:52] <night_shades> anyone know how to connect to this channel using andchat irc through android device
[22:52] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: not that I'm aware of
[22:52] <tyler_> ok well are there any tuorials on using play on linux  and wine?
[22:52] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: ok
[22:52] <hasenj> there's a dead link leading to here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver
[22:52] <hasenj> unfortunately that page doesn't exist anymore
[22:52] <hasenj> or something
[22:52] <jpsman> wylde, so a bash script for a hexdump | grep should work?
[22:53] <jpsman> would that specify the file found?
[22:53] <osgi> /
[22:53] <osgi> /?
[22:54] <wylde> jpsman: I was just tossing an idea out. Figuring that maybe a script that dumped and searched each file would get the job done.
[22:54] <tyler_> @DarwinSurvivor: do you know of any tutorials on using play on linx or wine
[22:54] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: "sudo apt-get purge xorg-driver-fglrx"
[22:55] <wylde> jpsman: you could script in to output the filename where the search term was found(if it will exist in multiple files) or have it kill the loop and output the filename it found the term in?
[22:55] <DarwinSurvivor> !patience | tyler_
[22:55] <cypher-neo> tyler_, Tutorials? PlayonLinux is fairly straightforward. What are you trying to do with it?
[22:56] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: actually, to save some time, just run the 4 commands on http://onubuntu.blogspot.ca/2011/10/manually-removing-fglrx-from-ubuntu.html
[22:56] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: they should still apply to 12.04
[22:56] <cypher-neo> tyler_, Actually PlayonLinux is fairly complicated. Wine is fairly straightforward.
[22:56] <jpsman> well a list would be vary nice but it could also kill the loop I guess
[22:56] <cypher-neo> tyler_, What program are you trying to run?
[22:56] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: "virtual packages like xorg-driver-fglrx can't be removed"
[22:56] <Loshki> jpsman: Try find . -type f -ls -regex '<regular expression>' -ls
[22:57] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: oh yeah, they virtualized that one :P
[22:57] <night_shades> i had two os's on my computer  one being windows 7 and the other was linux mint, anyhow i deleted linux mint through the primary partition program on windows 7 and rebooted my system and now it wont let me boot up to windows. anybody familiar with using grub terminal
[22:57] <DarwinSurvivor> hasenj: ok, you said you already removed it, so try the following
[22:57] <sckedsfed> hi.. How can I install h.264 codecs to view videos on youtube?
[22:57] <DarwinSurvivor> !purge | hasenj
[22:57] <jpsman> loski I did and it found in all test files find . -type f -ls -regex 'ihadhotdogsforlunch -ls
[22:57] <jpsman> which I know doesn't exist in them
[22:57] <cypher-neo> tyler_, What program are you trying to install?
[22:57] <DarwinSurvivor> sckedsfed: using which browser?
[22:57] <srid`> lxc question: how do i ssh into a container without using lxc-console?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> sckedsfed: you just need flash
[22:58] <sckedsfed> DarwinSurvivor: opera
[22:58] <srid`> i cannot ping a container by its name (even when appending .local)
[22:58] <Jordan_U> night_shades: This channel only supports Ubuntu. Try #grub.
[22:58] <sckedsfed> ActionParsnip: no I also need h264.... flash is crashing
[22:58] <tyler_> i am trying to install Battlefield2,World At World and trying to play Assassins creed
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: did you check the appdb
[22:58] <tyler_> the what
[22:59] <night_shades> ok ill try it, thanks jordan
[22:59] <Jordan_U> night_shades: You're welcome.
[22:59] <hasenj> DarwinSurvivor: thanks, running purge command
[22:59] <cypher-neo> tyler_, Check out winehq.org and query on that site how those games run on Wine.
[22:59] <DarwinSurvivor> tyler_: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[23:00] <zowsz> someone can give me the freenodes's website?
[23:01] <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..' *
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <DarwinSurvivor> !wine
[23:03] <jpsman> Loski, DarwinSurvivor, ActionParsnip, wylde thank you for your help :OD
[23:03] <DarwinSurvivor> jpsman: no problem
[23:03] <wylde> :)
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <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! :/
[23:06] <DarwinSurvivor> !flash
[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
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <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.
[23:09] <sckedsfed> ok
[23:09] <DarwinSurvivor> sckedsfed: ok, and you ran the "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core" correct?
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <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 :)
[23:13] <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
[23:14] <TemporaryName123> wylde: so other than home folder,  /tmp folder can also contain information about me, are there any other folder?
[23:14] <DarwinSurvivor> TemporaryName123: are you running any syste-wide non-default servers (apache, etc)?
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <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.
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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.
[23:19] <Aress> there is possible to play lol with it but I got error :D
[23:19] <wylde> DarwinSurvivor: if I do that you'll see my bad practice uses of sshfs >.>
[23:19] <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?
[23:21] <Jordan_U> TemporaryName123: I think that "sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap" will do it.
[23:22] <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
[23:23] <DarwinSurvivor> TemporaryName123: "mount | grep swap" will tell us if swap is setup correctly as well
[23:25] <Alec> Anyone have an idea?
[23:26] <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.
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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 :/
[23:30] <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.
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <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.
[23:34] <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] <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.
[23:35] <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] <Rurd2di> wylde: nah
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <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.
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <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.
[23:39] <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...
[23:40] <Jordan_U> decio_crytek: Worse in what way?
[23:40] <Rurd2di> any other idea what the ommand could be wylde?
[23:40] <decio_crytek> Jordan_U and I can't even play a Full Screen 720p video
[23:41] <tyler_> i am new to kubuntu/ubuntu os, so i have no idea how to use these and what the settings mean
[23:41] <indio> Hi. How can I know which internal IP address my router dynamically assigned to my localhost?
[23:41] <Rurd2di> indio: ifconfig
[23:41] <decio_crytek> They are just not as fast as I'm used to. And laggier than the original ubuntu ones. Jordan_U
[23:41] <Rurd2di> type that in config
[23:41] <Rurd2di> *console
[23:41] <wylde> Rurd2di: not off the top of my head, I know the Variables $USER $HOME $HOSTNAME work in bash. I'm just stepping out for a bit. If you're still here when I get back I'll be glad to help. In the meantime, I'm sure there's some much more knowledgable people in this channel that can help :)
[23:42] <Rurd2di> thanks wylde
[23:42] <Rurd2di> ill still be here
[23:42] <indio> Rurd2di: Yes thank. I know that one, but I want to be able to configure my scripts with some var instead of the hard coded 192.168.0.X, is that possible?
[23:42] <cpu--> anyone seen morpheus
[23:44] <bryguy_> i have some questions hopefully ya'll can answer
[23:44] <bryguy_> first I am running precise xubuntu
[23:44] <tyler_> i am new to kubuntu/ubuntu os, so i have no idea how to use these and what the settings mean
[23:44] <shashi> hello room.
[23:44] <bryguy_> i downloaded the new LMDE XFCE
[23:44] <bryguy_> ISO
[23:44] <decio_crytek> I'm out of Linux once for all. I thought 12.04 would be better than Windows 8. I'll just keep saving money for a iMac then..
[23:45] <bryguy_> i want to install this somehow without burning a disk/dvd
[23:45] <proxinix> !ask | tyler_
[23:45] <shashi> you can do a window install
[23:45] <philipballew> bryguy_ off topic
[23:45] <bryguy_> decio_crytek, try downloading xubuntu 12.04 full and installing it standalone by itself
[23:46] <bryguy_> really philipballew
[23:46] <decio_crytek> BYe
[23:46] <bryguy_> decio_crytek, trust me its way better than ubuntu or kde, and theyre all better than ianything
[23:46] <philipballew> bryguy_  linux mint is not supported here
[23:46] <proxinix> tyler_ I suggest you right click everything and test it out.  Get to know your machine like a neighborhood like you did with Windows www.linuxcommand.org is where a lot of people start.
[23:46] <gizmo> what do I type in a terminal to install itunes on ubuntu?
[23:47] <bryguy_> i know but i M Running ubuntu precise
[23:47] <lekremyelsew> gizmo, itunes is not compatible with ubuntu
[23:47] <bryguy_> i just want to know how to install an iso from precise without burning a disk
[23:47] <jacobwg> Does anyone know how to autofs mount a network share to a folder off of / (I want to mount the share at /folder)?
[23:47] <philipballew> bryguy_ run virtualbox
[23:47] <hash> bryguy: make a bootable usb
[23:47] <decio_crytek> bryguy_: Does it have better drivers support than Ubuntu for ATI graphics card?
[23:48] <black_joe> gizmo : You cannot. You need to use a compatibility layer called Wine to run Windows applications. Other applications such as Clementine and rhythmbox offer similar functionality, though.
[23:48] <shashi> every time i open a cairodock controll pannel. the top panel of the window opens under the top panel . I use xubuntu, any one facing the same problem. does  an y one has a solution for this?
[23:48] <proxinix> gizmo, rythembox handles itunes well for some - try that
[23:48] <Rurd2di> indio: unsure mate
[23:48] <lekremyelsew> gizmo, but there are many applications available that work with ipods, try searching the software center for "ipod"
[23:48] <philipballew> gizmo, why do you need itunes?
[23:48] <fpz^2> hey guys. I thought I'd ask here first before posting to askubuntu.
[23:48] <bryguy_> probably not decio_crytek since its still the same base OS
[23:49] <bryguy_> but there are work arounds
[23:49] <fpz^2> I've got issues with the i915 drivers for my Intel HD 3000 integrated GPU. Specifically, the screen goes black right after the splash screen - the only way to boot is to set nomodeset or i915.modeset=0
[23:49] <proxinix> gizmo, apt-cache search -n ipod
[23:49] <gizmo> Iblack_joe: have wine but not sure how to use it
[23:49] <bryguy_> philipballew, i ran it in virtual box, but i dont think i can actually install the whole os as a dual-boot style os on my hdd
[23:49] <fpz^2> unfortunately, that kills the whole ubuntu experience - no kms, and only resolutions up to 1024x768
[23:49] <proxinix> gizmo, sudo apt-get install exaile-plugin-ipod exaile
[23:49] <bryguy_> only on the virtual partition
[23:49] <fpz^2> anyone know a remedy? or another driver that works and keeps kms going?
[23:50] <bryguy_> 'as far as i can tell so far phillipb
[23:50] <bryguy_> phillipb
[23:50] <decio_crytek> bryguy_, That's what I want. I want a OS that AT LEAST can play a 720p Full Screen YouTube video since I have a dual-core 2.00GHz Processor and a ATI Radeon HD 4500m series
[23:50] <philipballew> yeah you can
[23:50] <philipballew> !mint
[23:50] <bryguy_> really?
[23:50] <philipballew> there you go
[23:50] <bryguy_> ty philipballew
[23:50] <lekremyelsew> Is there an easy way to see which proccess is causing my system load to idle at a high number?
[23:50]  * philipballew does what he can
[23:50] <fpz^2> err, I meant i915.modeset=0
[23:51] <bryguy_> philipballew, there is no one on that channel lol
[23:51] <fpz^2> lekremyelsew, htop is pretty decent
[23:51] <philipballew> how long did you want?
[23:51] <fpz^2> apt-get install htop
[23:51] <decio_crytek> And 4Gb of RAM
[23:51] <bryguy_> do i need ot start up a different irc server?
[23:51] <philipballew> !mint
[23:52] <bryguy_> join #mint
[23:52] <philipballew> irc.spotchat.org is what you want to go to <bryguy_>
[23:52] <philipballew> not freenode
[23:53] <lekremyelsew> fpz^2, i'm using htop. My cpu usage idles at ~1 but the system load idles at ~.60. Do you know how to find out what is causing that?
[23:53] <Alec> trying a different usb right now for xbmcbuntu before I use hte mini one
[23:54] <fpz^2> lekremyelsew, tbh, I've had different versions of ubuntu put a constant minimum load of 0.5 on my system
[23:54] <fpz^2> nothing to worry about really, as the load is only representative of one cpu
[23:54] <RealEyes> whats the command for seeing how much memory is in use?
[23:55] <Alec> Jordan_U also, when installing, my keyboard seems to stop working when initramfs pops up
[23:55] <sckedsfed> hi... How can I avoid the password request for a user during login? I'm with lxde
[23:55] <xwolf> bo s
[23:55] <lekremyelsew> fpz^2, it usually stayed at ~.01 until a recent upgrade
[23:56] <bryguy_> philipballew, how do i get to that spotchat area?
[23:56] <fpz^2> RealEyes, `free`
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <fpz^2> harushimo, lshw -C video
[23:58] <harushimo> I can't get the nvidia panel at all
[23:58] <sckedsfed> hi... How can I avoid the password request for a user during login? I'm with lxde
[23:58] <sckedsfed> hi... How can I avoid the password request for a user during login? I'm with lxde
[23:58] <harushimo> what is the command to access the nvidia panel
[23:58] <bryguy_> decio_crytek, https://www.google.com/search?aq=1&oq=ati+drivers+for+ubuntu+12.&sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=install+ati+driver+ubuntu+12.04
[23:58] <bryguy_> just google install ati drivers on ubuntu 12.04
[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
[23:59] <RealEyes> how can i clear the memory?
