[00:00] thank you [00:00] thanks [00:00] Alec: I assume that it's a USB keyboard? [00:00] yes [00:00] fpz^2, I have to go, but thanks anyways [00:00] hello all [00:00] I have a p/s2 adapter (or however it's stylized) and it doesn't seem to work :S [00:00] bryguy_: I tried every single terminal and GUI way to install it. Never works. I'm not going to install another Linux derivant simply because they don't have Wubi and I need windows to Jailbreak, Restore and put music onto my iPod Touch 4G and iPad 3 [00:01] Alec: I should have thought about that, if the kernel has problems accessing USB drives then the same problem will probably affect all USB devices :( [00:01] :S [00:01] Alec: Do you happen to have a PS2 keyboard somewhere? [00:01] Nope :/ [00:01] decio_crytek, run windows in a vm? [00:01] how do I get rid of the sticky windows stickey mouse behavior? the edge of the screen always grabs my cursor when I am trying to go between screens, and when I am trying to drag windows across too. [00:01] I wish this adapter were working [00:02] decio_crytek, you dont need wubi to dual boot windows with a linux os [00:02] decio_crytek, i agree with fpz^2 [00:02] fpz^2, It can't Jailbreak in a Virtual Machine. And many of my Jailbreaks are tether. It would be a pain just to boot up my device [00:02] decio_crytek, you can try virtualbox to run windows [00:03] decio_crytek, virtualbox can hand over usb borts to the guest os. [00:03] *ports [00:03] i have been using ubuntu and it's variants on and off for over 5 years [00:03] that said, I never liked dealing with my iPod with ubuntu [00:03] On a tether Jailbreak everytime you shut down you're device you'll have to go to your computer, run a program called RedSnow just to boot it up. Imagavine if I had to turn on a VM and do all that. It would take years! [00:03] is there a restart option? I don't see it under my user name [00:04] decio_crytek, not really. you could use something like vagrant and automate it: http://vagrantup.com/ [00:04] Alec: What was the last version of Ubuntu that worked on this machine? [00:04] decio_crytek, are you a jailbreak dev or something? dont you just need to jailbreal the phone once and be doen with that part? [00:04] it was 11.04 I believe [00:04] harushimo, click on the top right corner, than shut down. Than, it will say restart [00:04] I don't know how I got it to work though :/ [00:05] oh ok [00:05] harushimo, hit alt+f4 then type in user name, password, then sudo reboot [00:05] hey all, i think my wirelesscard drivers are causing kernel panics, any idea how to solve? [00:05] this is a little different from 10.04. It had a restart option [00:05] thanks [00:05] bryguy_, kindaa, I Jailbreak and write reviews of Cydia tweaks to earn some "pocket-money" [00:06] or just open up a terminal and type in the same thing [00:06] i know you can do that way [00:06] sudo reboot [00:06] ok high level problem here [00:06] i dont know what Cydia is, i dotn iphone, i hack androids [00:06] *dont [00:06] my computer doesnt have a monitor [00:06] bryguy_, sudo shutdown -r now ;) [00:06] Alec: As a stab in the dark, maybe the kernel modules needed for your controller are included by default, but not in the installer's initramfs. If that were the case, then you would be able to boot from an Ubuntu install on your internal drive and then load the USB modules from there (they would probably be loaded automatically). [00:06] nice fpz^2 [00:06] didnt know that one [00:07] i want to put in a cd, and then find the computer by DHCP and SSH to complete the install [00:07] me either [00:07] possible (y/n) [00:07] bryguy_, you can replace now with a number of seconds [00:07] bryguy_: init 6 [00:07] tyler_, :) [00:07] i've looked at unattended installs and some ssh installs which require PXE server, but i was wondering if there was something simpler than that [00:07] bryguy_, let's just say that Jailbreaking is lot harder and hacking it is a chalenge [00:07] jordan [00:07] the converter gives power [00:07] i think i just need to edit some config files in the installation ill be good [00:07] but [00:07] so someone here says i can install another linux with virtualbox into an actual hdd partition and not just into the virtual partition that viirtual box creates for it [00:07] it won't let me type or anything [00:07] (tested with other backlit keyboard) [00:08] Alec: Converter? [00:08] yes [00:08] a usb to ps2 converter [00:08] nice fpz^2 i am still a terminal noob for the most part [00:08] fpz^2_: yes? [00:08] Alec: So you don't have any PS2 ports on your computer? [00:08] most my experience lies in copy/paste from google searches and trial and error over the past years [00:08] i do [00:08] ut [00:08] but* [00:08] bryguy_, I'm not sure. I tried once, failed. I also tried export a vbox image onto a harddrive and partition and failed [00:08] when I used the converter it only seems to provide poewr [00:08] i want to try mint debian xfce [00:08] it won't let me actually use hte keyboard [00:09] Alec: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:09] i'm in the configuration settings for nvidia. I want to do big desktop. I mean to extend my desktop to the other monitor [00:09] thanks fpz^2 [00:09] sorry [00:09] how would I do that [00:09] vmware exports are apparently easier [00:09] Alec: Do you have PS2 ports on your computer itself (i.e. not through a USB to PS2 converter)? [00:09] i cant find any blank dvds around fpz^2 so i need ot find an alternate way of installing it [00:09] yes [00:09] I mean i [00:09] the iso is 1.1 gb [00:09] I'm out. I'll try to find some drivers that work on the Jailbreaking community. Yes, many of them do use Ubuntu as their main OS [00:09] and i only have cdr [00:10] good luck decio_crytek [00:10] Accidentally hit enter, yes I do have one, but I'm using a usb to ps2 converter (plug in the usb to it then plug that itno the ps2 slot) and it only seems to provide power, not the ability to actually use my keboard to type [00:10] bryguy_: This channel only supports Ubuntu. Please take offtopic discussion elsewhere. [00:10] Thanks [00:10] Jordan_U, i am trying to stay on topic [00:10] and i cant find anywhere else for people to help me [00:11] i figured it out [00:11] Excuse me, if you'll forgive me for being a little off topic, can someone who knows a little bit about molding with platinum cure please PM me or send me to a room where people might know [00:11] Thank you [00:11] i am on precise, and my problem lies with tryign to get this doen from within precise [00:11] anyway. going for askubuntu now [00:11] adios [00:11] !ot | SolarNRG [00:11] SolarNRG: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:11] so i feel pretty well on topic [00:11] bryguy_: The fact that you can't find anywhere else does *not* mean that you can ask offtopic questions here. [00:12] what part of my question defines "off-topic"? [00:12] didn't see the question bryguy_ [00:12] bryguy_: Your discussion of mint is off topic, even if it's not in the form of a question. [00:13] my discussion has very little to do with mint and very much so to do with how to install another OS to dual boot from within ubuntu [00:13] Alec: If you have PS2 Ports on your computer, why are you not using them? [00:14] I am using them. I plugged a keyboard into it via an adapter but it doesn't work for some reaosn. It only seems to provide power to the keyboard (i.e backlight lights up, can't type though) [00:14] you probably need drivers Alec [00:15] for ps2 porrts? [00:15] Alec: you can't just plug in a ps2 keyboard when the computer is on. You shutdown, plug in and restart. [00:15] Alec: I don't think you read my question carefully enough. This is the last time I'll ask. Does your computer itself, the box, have PS2 ports? (I'm *not* asking about USB to PS2 adaptors) [00:15] Yes, the pc has them. my keyboard is usb so I'm using a converter to actually be able to use the ps2 ports on my computer. And that is what i've been doing wylde. [00:16] Alec: Ahh, I misunderstood then, Sorry about that. [00:16] Alec: alrighty, then. Just making sure. :) [00:16] bryguy_, This site 'may' contain the info. that you're looking for; just stay away from anything "wubi": http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index [00:17] anyone know how to setup a dualboot with 1204 from wihtin an already operational 1204 box [00:17] ty Sidewinder [00:17] bryguy_, My pleasure; I hope it helps. :) [00:17] Why doesn't apport open Launchpad bug reports anymore? [00:17] Alec: I've never seen an adaptor before that allows the use of a USB keyboard with a PS2 port. Does the keyboard work in the BIOS menus? [00:18] it used to work, I guess it's broken now [00:18] bryguy_: you can't. You have to have an alternate method of booting. Either a disk (CD/DVD) a usb thumb/pendrive/external hd or another computer on your netwrok that you can configure as a PXE boot server. [00:20] hello. Has anyone used rsync over ssh to copy a .vdi file? Mine seems to be hanging after about a half-hour. Has it crapped out or is there still hope? [00:20] any other ideas? [00:21] i'm just trying to mess around with cloud computing setup in ubuntu with open stack. do I need to install ubuntu server? [00:21] Logan_: could use the ubuntu-bug command [00:21] can I use it on the desktop version? [00:21] Alec: do you use a USB hub by any chance? [00:21] nope [00:21] all plugged directly in. [00:21] I was using a cable extension for a bit [00:22] plugged directly in after that, same problem [00:22] Alec: have you set the USB ports to legacy mode in BIOS? [00:22] hemanth: you will want ubuntu cloud server [00:22] I'll check if I've done that already. Where is that typically found in the bios? [00:22] my goal is eventually use server. I just want to use MAAS and get a basic cloud setup [00:23] Alec: I thought you just said that you can't use the keyboard in the BIOS either. Is that true? If so, how are you going to check/change any BIOS settings? [00:23] harushimo: you may get mnore specific help for that in #ubuntu-server [00:23] more* [00:23] Nono, I can use it in bios. [00:23] Just not with the ps2 adapter [00:24] Alec: Ahh, understood. [00:24] I'm on the website [00:24] it is using ubuntu server not the desktop version [00:24] ok I'll do that [00:24] sorry if i'm confusing you [00:24] I've only ever seen those for mice. Not seen one for keyboards. [00:24] Alec: Can you take the drive out of the computer, put it in another machine, install Ubuntu to the hard drive, then put it back? [00:24] Nope. [00:25] Alec: What is currently installed on the internal drive? [00:25] Windows 7 [00:25] oh wow [00:25] wait [00:25] "installer OS Select" [00:25] put to others? [00:25] it's at windows atm. [00:25] Alec: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:26] i'll be honest with you. this has a mac feeling which is cool [00:26] great job on the OS [00:26] I have a bad habit of flooding, I should really kill the urge to hit enter. [00:26] I like how ubuntu is improving the quality and getting into everything [00:26] Alec: Can you try a Wubi install as a test? I don't recommend using Wubi but it would test the possibility that the needed modules exist but simply aren't in the default initrd. [00:26] sure [00:27] Alec: glue a tac strip to it :) You'll learn fast to look at it before hitting it :) [00:27] want me to try the legacy usb thing ifirst? [00:27] Alec: It can't hurt, but I don't expect it to make any difference. [00:27] legacy usb support is apparently already enabled :/ [00:29] Guys [00:29] I FIXED IT! [00:29] Alec: If you have any questions/updates please use my nick as I won't be watching the channel. [00:29] Alec: How? [00:29] You know that installer os select thing I said earlier? [00:29] I changed it to others and BAM, it started! [00:30] Hey my sources.list file is riddled with errors, but it looks good to me, if I post it could someone tell me where my errors lie? [00:30] Alec: Ubuntu is now booting with ability to access USB devices? [00:31] yes xD [00:31] and [00:31] no initramfs (waits a bit so i'm not flooding.. accidentally hit enter:() [00:32] Alec: Very odd, I've never heard of this type of thing before. I'm glad you got things working though :) [00:32] hello ppl, my XFS partition is almost full and i need to grow the partition without lose my data [00:32] There is a way to change the partition beginning point without move all data to the first blocks (like gparted do)? [00:32] http://i46.tinypic.com/2i9nvwm.png [00:32] thanks a lot Jordan and friends ;3 (I don't know why and friends, but you know, it seems the best way to put it as it's hard to list all the other names) I'll stay in here incase other problems arise. [00:32] Alec: You're welcome. [00:33] CrazyGangster: take a full backup, then you have no worries about losing data === Brustofski is now known as Brustofski-Fan [00:34] ActionParsnip: Yeah, ubuntu-bug works, but I'm wondering why crash reporting is going to whoopsie by default, without the option of sending the bug to Launchpad. [00:34] Hey my sources.list file is riddled with errors, but it looks good to me, if I post it could someone tell me where my errors lie? [00:34] ola [00:34] Gdebi is being stupid !!

[00:35] Hehe, so glad to finally get rid of my terrible Windows 7 install. I mean, I like it, it's just so slow compared to Ubuntu. [00:35] Tm0: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update [00:36] ActionParsnip: lisa [00:36] bryguy_: you need to setup a tftp server [00:36] how do I get rid of the sticky windows stickey mouse behavior? the edge of the screen always grabs my cursor when I am trying to go between screens, and when I am trying to drag windows across too. [00:36] CrazyGangster: not supported here dude [00:36] bryguy_: good question. I've only ever used a 8nix machine for that. You caould ask in #windows if it's possible.

[00:42] ActionParsnip Am I supposed to make that into a shell file? [00:42] Brustofski-Fan: did you add the virtualbox ppa? [00:42] Brustofski-Fan: do you really have a reason not to use the version officially supported? [00:43] Tm0: your missing the key for your Mate repo. Duplicate sources are just warnings (you have the same thing more then once in sources.list or sources.list.d) [00:43] Tm0: you can make a script (which is what you probably meant), or you can just copy and paste them one by one [00:43] krababbel, yes.. never works for me [00:43] so no [00:44] ActionParsnip, no.. i downloaded the deb package from the vbox site [00:44] Tm0: also, ubuntu has been designed around using sudo... just sayin' [00:44] help me plz, how can i convert 3 avi files into one file plz?

[01:10] L3top, thanks [01:11] Succesful reinstall of 10.04 LTS and couldn't be happier! [01:11] Guest14122: If you're only going to be using Ubuntu then I disagree, I don't see any point in having a separate /home and it means that you'll have to repartition if you decide that you didn't get the balance in size between / and /home right. [01:12] If I open terminal, and hit ctrl-w, it makes my monitors blink black. That effect is really annoying and I want to disable it completely for all apps. It occurs if I try to delete nothing, hit down arrow, hit right arrow at the right-most character, etc. [01:13] Jordan_U, Maybe they want to keep their /home directory safe in case of data corruption in the main partition?? [01:13] what is the best way to make a blu ray iso already having the bdmv folder? [01:13] believe its udf2.5? [01:15] Areckx: It's rare to get data corruption which is not caused by hardware problems, in which case separate partitions won't matter. And you could extend that logic to make every type of data you have be stored on separate partitions, but the small advantage is not worth the hassle of resizing partitions (a somewhat dangerous operation) when you find that you need more room on one of them. And that's what backups are for anyway. [01:16] In earlier versions of Ubuntu there was a graphical application for controlling running services. I can't find it in 12.04. Can someone tell me where it is, or if I need to install it? [01:16] ceed^: it doesn't exist anymore. ubuntu users aren't expected to be running services i guess. [01:17] zykotic10: I can't get it from somewhere and install it either? [01:18] ceed^: upstart is the issues - the old tools don't apply. === Sliderule is now known as Transhumanist [01:19] ceed^: could use top [01:19] ActionParsnip: how does top help with startup services? [01:20] what vps software do you guys recommend for ubuntu 12.04? [01:20] hello [01:21] zykotic10: "for controlling running services" [01:22] Any suggestions on enabling some shortcuts to see all open windows [01:22] my XFS partition is almost full and i need to grow the partition without lose my data [01:22] There is a way to change the partition beginning point without move all data to the first blocks (like gparted do)? [01:23] im in ubuntu now... [01:23] Jordan_U: I have come to the conclusion that you are certainly more clever than I with regards to all of this, but the reason for my suggestion that it was a good thing, was that regardless of what you do to the root file system your personal data will be untouched. I have lurked in this channel a while before offering advice and this was often the conventional wisdom. [01:24] At least when I was paying attention. [01:24] Indian: use the scale plugin in compiz if you use compiz [01:24] L3top: What would you do to the root filesystem that would affect your data without a separate partition, but wouldn't also affect it with? [01:25] any one using hotot [01:25] L3top: i'm with Jordan_U - a separate home has minimal benefit with some real drawbacks (but, i consider that a personal opinion - even if it's shared) [01:26] L3top: that said, i do currently have a separate home, with / on an ssd ;) so i should just shut my mouth/fingers. [01:27] !warning 2 weeks in, as root, attempting to delete the contents of a current directory I did rm -R /* attempting to rm -R ./* because I was very green, clearly, and /home being somewhere else would have saved that. I am not suggesting that my advice was correct btw, I am simply asking why it is incorrect. [01:27] L3top: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:27] !danger [01:27] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [01:29] * KM0201 has never had a separate /home in 7yrs [01:30] zykotic10: makes reinstalls easier and backups too [01:30] I still don't. It was just suggestion that I heard in this room, and applied to my own ignorance and felt had merrit. I am simply asking why it is NOT good advice, not arguing that it is. [01:31] I cannot see any notifications for hotot [01:31] ActionParsnip: i agree with reinstalling the same version, but after any ubuntu-version upgrades - it can lead to issues. backup of /home i see no difference if it's on the same partition or not YMMV ;) [01:32] I run a separate /home too. I do keep regular backups, but if I don't have to restore from backups that = time saved recovering. === tyler is now known as Guest77705 [01:33] my gnome-shell corrupts sudden by itself [01:33] running gnome-shell in terminal (pressing Ctrl-T) to call out, runs into segmentation fault [01:34] how to rescue gnome-shell running into segmentation fault [01:34] invinciblemutant: I'd suggest you test your RAM, and fsck your hard disk to start. [01:35] now, i dont see title bar, no top panel [01:35] i am using the same machine on irc [01:35] gnome-shell does not start [01:36] zykotic10: wouldn't that require constant backups? Going two weeks without a backup, depending on what you do, could be dangerous... wheras if your home dir is always independant, it stands to reason that you are spending a lot more time backing up, dealing with backing up. [01:36] L3top: I run backups everyday. [01:37] I am not trying to be off topic, and am in off topic if someone would like to explain it to me. [01:37] L3top: how does a separate home affect backup scheduling? [01:37] Doesn't. I use LVM. [01:38] It makes such irrelevant, if your would be backup location is the location of home [01:38] To offtopic then? [01:38] yes [01:38] anyway to debug what is the cause of gnome-shell fault [01:39] zykotic10: its good for SSD too, keep /home off the SSD where speed isn't hugely required :) [01:39] zykotic10: /home on platter based drive [01:40] ActionParsnip: that's is my current "use case" for a separate home ;) [01:40] zykotic10: yeah it rocks [01:40] ActionParsnip: SSDs - highly agree [01:40] ActionParsnip: welcome back, im still having that issue with kernel panic [01:41] Posted a thread since i keep loosing my connection : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11933446#post11933446 === adriano is now known as Guest84998 [01:42] hello is there a way to get menulets downloaded [01:42] like the one on top right corner [01:46] installing 12.04 on a laptop. pray for my soul. :) [01:46] netmind: lol, its not bad... :) [01:47] I had bad luck with the last stable.

This is encouraging. [01:51] KM0201, How does dropbox and some other apps add them [01:51] cuz they are written to have icons in notification area. [01:51] Annoying: The caption for the home button in Unity covers the search field unless you move the cursor off the button. I wish the caption would auto close after a second or so. [01:52] No boot. The screen changed to the Ubuntu purple, but no title appeared and the drive has stopped accessing.

I've got a wireless card that is connected to my wireless network, but is unable to connect to the router (ie at http://192.168.1.1) and thus can't load any websites or whatnot. However, it's been assigned an IP via DHCP and on my router I can see that it's connected. [01:58] Icehawk: What is its IP address? [01:59] rypervenche: 192.168.1.100 [01:59] Icehawk: Are you sure that 192.168.1.1 is the gateway's address? [01:59] And yes, I verified that all of the DHCP'd settings match my other laptop (also running Ubuntu, and also connected to the same network) [02:00] Having issues with my desktop.

And I've used ethernet before successfully. Just not wifi. [02:15] Icehawk: can you try a static config instead of dhcp? [02:16] I guess you should check the hardware of gateway config [02:16] krababbel: I initially tried to do a static IP, and was never able to actually connect to the network with that, for some reason.

It's a desktop, so that'll also take a few minutes ;) [02:49] what boot option? my montor shows nothing but blank [02:49] none: hold shift at boot [02:49] I noticed an error message about udev before the boot screen started. [02:49] ok...... be right back [02:49] but that's all the info i have [02:50] y0om4: what will not work? [02:51] holding shift did nothing [02:52] wordToDaBird: if your keyboard is a usb you might try enable legacy in bios, that helped me in the grub part, but my keyboard always worked after booting into X mode [02:52] invincib1emutant, you can reset everything by moving you current 'home' somewhere else and recopy /etc/skel for a new 'home' directory. [02:53] sacarlson, it's my laptops keyboard, I haven't tried using a usb but I am using a thumb drive right now so I can access the p.c. so I don't think it's a bios thing. [02:53] built in keyboard* [02:53] ...........i cannot use my computer since installing 12.04 because as soon as "grub loading" my monitor goes into "OUT OF RANGE" and goes black [02:54] nrdb: http://pastie.org/3908025 === mike_ is now known as Guest62990 [02:54] nrdb: Also, as I was copying that down, my adapter randomly disconnected from the network and won't reconnect now. [02:55] none: try adding nomodeset on kernel boot line in grub see if that helps [02:55] So since I have to restart anyways, I'll move to the room with ethernet and try installing the software ActionParsnip recommended and see how that affects it. [02:56] none: hold shift at boot and you will get a text display [02:56] none: failing that you can chroot using liveCD and do it there [02:56] Icehawk, oh.... no idea what to do about that... first I would try logout and or reset. [02:57] none: or you could even boot live CD and edit the blacklist.conf file in the installed OS and blacklist the file that way [02:57] My Ubuntu software center fails to launch, any idea how I can troubleshoot it? [02:57] Ethek: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update [02:58] I would like to use my secondary drive to store data from both windows and ubuntu files. Sounds like it needs to be formatted FAT. Is there a backup program that anyone can recommend suited for this application? [02:58] do you know how to use the command line Ethek ? [02:58] Icehawk, when you get it going again I would like to see the output of "route -n" [02:58] I can open the term to get the outpu ActionParsnip mentioned [02:58] Icehawk: conceal your ipv6 address too for the mac [02:58] ms-daisy: fat32 has restrictions no filesize, its also not very robust. Both Ubuntu and Windows can write NTFS [02:58] I've never used software center yet - always on the command line [02:59] ActionParsnip, ..... sacarlson the 12.04 livecd works perfect... but i cannot reach use anything on my computer.. shift does not work for text grub.. i will try to fix through the livecd [02:59] Ethek: can you make a apstebin of the text please [02:59] yes Ethek put it in pastbin [02:59] OK, so if I format it NTFS, which backup program could copy the data from Ubuntu to the drive ActionParsnip (or anyone else who might know)? [02:59] krababbel_: Oh, okay, thanks. Wasn't sure if that was relavent or not. [02:59] ms-daisy: rsync [03:00] none: is your keyboard a usb device? if so set bios to lagacy or it won't see the shift at boot [03:00] nrdb: Loading that up now. [03:00] can you install rsync on a data hard drive with no OS ActionParsnip ? [03:00] ms-daisy, if you are backing up to ntfs you are better off using a tool that creates tarballs the deja dup backup should do that for you [03:00] ms-daisy: no, you will need an OS, you can use a liveCD if necessary [03:01] I was upgrading a system from 10.04 to 12.04, and I see http://i.imgur.com/6lUIG.jpg on my screen; its basically just a bunch of []s. There're two buttons, not sure which one to press :P [03:01] when using port triggering, I set source port any to 6667, and destination port any to 113 ... How come I set it to any instead of 6667 to 6667 and 113 to 113? How come port triggering to port 113 (identd) will not if i do the latter? [03:01] thanks escott I'll check out deja dup. [03:02] sacarlson, ... my keyboard is 1995 ps2 from ibm [03:02] lfaraone: that stuff happens with gui apps, not sure what to advise really. [03:02] lfaraone: i'll try find a similar screenshot but with the text [03:02] ActionParsnip: just close it…? [03:02] y0om4: learn2tcp [03:02] none: should have no problem with that then as far as I know [03:03] krababbel_: comments like that are not helpful or necessary [03:04] ActionParsnip: a liveCD- how would that work? Do you know of any tutorials or links? [03:04] sorry wylde === ludkiller|AFK is now known as ludkiller [03:04] lfaraone: yeah, seems to be 'something bad happened, report an error' kinda jive [03:04] lfaraone, I say the top button is 'cancel' and the bottom is 'ok' ... but you don't know the question... (bad font) [03:04] krababbel_: just trying to keep thiungs friendly in here ;) [03:04] things* [03:04] ms-daisy: you can mount the source and destination partitions in the liveCD and copy the data in the manner of your choosing [03:05] how do I find out who is using swap? [03:05] * ms-daisy thinks that ship may have sailed wylde *zykotic10* === Youri is now known as Iruoy [03:05] *gasp* [03:06] nrdb: http://pastie.org/3908061 [03:06] axisys: only the kernel uses swap really. "free" in a terminal will tell you how much is being used. [03:07] OK, thanks ActionParsnip. And I guess that differs from mounting the second drive in my Ubuntu installation & rsyncing it from there? [03:07] y0om4: from the port numbers I guess your setting up an IRC server? [03:08] ActionParsnip: Restarting now with the ethernet never plugged in, but wicd *may* have solved my problem. [03:08] zykotic10: i know about free.. but is there a to find out which processes is causing kernel to swap? [03:08] zykotic10: like dtrace shows in solaris [03:08] Icehawk: wicd is awesome imho, just doesn't play well with 3G (last I checked anyway) [03:09] axisys: sorry, never looked into it THAT closely. Good luck. [03:09] ActionParsnip: One thing I did notice was that it asked for a user - will it help the connection if a user isn't logged in? [03:09] axisys: use: free -m to show the values in megabytes (easier to read) [03:09] Icehawk: I believe so [03:10] ActionParsnip: thanks for the switch.. I still like to find out what is causing the swap [03:10] axisys, the kernel swaps at the page level. processes will swap in pages as they are needed. perhaps you want to look at the kernel performance counters [03:11] ActionParsnip: It appears it did! Thanks a ton. When you say it doesn't play well with 3G... do you mean it may interfere with my cell phone's reception? [03:12] !realtime [03:12] Icehawk: yeah as far as I remember, its not something I use outside my phone [03:12] Icehawk: wicd also has wicd-curses which is great on servers :) === Granis` is now known as Granis [03:12] escott: which one? vmstat -s 1 does not show which process [03:12] hi how can i install the kernel real time in ubuntu 12.04 ? [03:12] ActionParsnip: Oh, so you don't mean it'll affect my phone's reception, unless I'm installing and running it *on* my phone? [03:13] axisys, https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page [03:13] !valgrind | axisys : is this along the lines of what you want? [03:13] !info valgrind | axisys : is this along the lines of what you want? [03:13] wylde: does it show which process? [03:13] axisys : is this along the lines of what you want?: valgrind (source: valgrind): memory debugger and profiler. In component main, is optional. Version 1:3.7.0-0ubuntu3 (precise), package size 14570 kB, installed size 36841 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; powerpc; ppc64; armel; armhf) [03:14] i will take a peek [03:14] typo'd the factoid! >.< [03:15] Icehawk, I can't see anything wrong there. [03:15] escott: which pkg? linux-tools-common or linux-base ? [03:15] Thanks ActionParsnip and escott for the backup help :) [03:15] axisys, no idea what package it would be [03:15] nrdb: I'm not sure what actually was wrong before, but installing wicd appears to have fixed the issue, whatever it was. [03:17] ActionParsnip: Anyhow, thanks a ton for your help! [03:17] nrdb: Thanks for your help as well :) [03:17] Icehawk: not sure, sometimes wicd plays better sometimes. Especially when interfaces get names like wlan1 rather than wlan0 [03:17] Icehawk: np man [03:17] escott: nice tool.. thanks === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding [03:18] Icehawk, so your online there? [03:19] nrdb: you're [03:20] I am attempting to dual boot Ubuntu 10.04(running now) and Debian 6.0.4 ; at the moment I am downloading the live .iso files in order to first resize the main partition and create a new one for debian to boot from, my only problem lies with GRUB2, how do I set it up prior to starting debian install from livecd? [03:20] ActionParsnip, yes ... not quite right there. [03:20] if using an ubuntu machine as a gateway server for a variety of different distros (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, CentOS, Scientific) that can't directly share repos 100% safely... would squid be able to provide some of the same benefit i.e. only need to download a given package from a given host *once*? [03:21] sacarlson, ......... it is very difficult to change the grub settings from livecd [03:21] Areckx, the install process should notice the other installation (if its Linux) and setup grub for you... [03:22] even after chroot it wouldn't correctly update-grub after i altered /etc/default/grub [03:22] nrdb:: last time I was installing it kept trying to install grub [03:22] this kind of thing is difficult for me to fix, and really i am not an idiot [03:22] nrdb:: unless for some magical reason I can do it this time... [03:23] veebull: i believe apt-cacher-ng can apt-proxy various deb distros simultaniously (you'd need to convirm that) [03:23] i have no idea how these bullshit problems keep crawling into ubuntu.... things windows and previous ubuntu could do flawlessly are now Fucked beyond all repair [03:23] none:: that's why I stick with 10.04 [03:23] why not just outsource the entire booting process to windows.... if ubuntu can't even set display settings correctly [03:24] zykotic10, Thanks [03:24] zalbisser_ [03:24] Areckx, the worst that could happen is that the first grub set would be overwritten with the second grub setup and only boot into the second installation... you then would be where you are now and can modify the grub setup once both installs are done. [03:25] none, the display of the bootproces is very important, i see it 6 seconds, too short to start the splash grinn [03:25] Areckx, I once had a computer that had about 6 different Linux installations on it at once. [03:25] nrdb: Yes I am, now. [03:26] Icehawk, great ... bye. [03:27] Areckx, I would suggest that you let the second setup do what it wants with grub... it should just work. [03:29] is there a guide to setup my domain on my new vps via ssh ? [03:31] nrdb:: all right, waiting for downloads to finish, I'll let you know as I progress [03:31] * jsuhrstedt [03:31] Areckx, ok [03:34] Hey all - is it possible to run a single node on the same physical server as the maas controller with 12.04? Thanks [03:34] never had a problem installing ubuntu before. everything frezzeses after dectecting hardware about 3/4 the way though install. anyone came acoss this problem on a old dell. [03:36] dotnetted: how do you mean 'node'? Its a very ambigious term... [03:39] ActionParsnip: I'd like to get a MAAS node running on the same machine the MAAS controller is on (similar to MAAS xml.sys-con.com/node/1349818/mobile with UEC) === tyler is now known as Guest11445 [03:40] With UEC I could run the NC and CC on the same machine (useful for experimenting with UEC without having 2 physical boxes) [03:43] sudokode there's nothing going on [03:44] What's the proper way to update the kernel. apt-get dist-upgrade? [03:44] King_OnTheGo: hello [03:44] The intended result would be having the MAAS management interface and a copy of some distro (ubuntu desktop) running on a single node on the same machine that manages it -- I guess I could pull it off by sticking the MAAS node inside virtualbox but nested virtualization does''t sound very fast heh [03:44] twirlbang: if you mean, a regular kernel update from default repo - yes use dist-upgrade [03:44] hi! to all! [03:44] hi to one [03:45] I was about to ask, would you be able to do it it within a virtual machine? [03:45] does any one know how to overcome this error!

What if I just want my virtual machines to see each other? [03:48] is there like a ctrl+alt+delete kinda thing for linux? [03:49] does anyone here run Ubuntu 12.04 through Parallels Desktop 7? [03:49] st3el what are you trying to do with it? [03:49] when I'm listening to music [03:49] st3el: gnome-system-monitor [03:49] ok...

Rhythmbox usually minimizes rather then close. [03:50] So? I upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10 and my boot loader now says "No Such Partition" and Boot-Repair just scans and scans forever. [03:50] st3el: be careful with Chipzzz suggestion! [03:51] Before I waste the next 30 mins ... If I boot Server 12.04 into a VirtualBox instance on the same server that is running a MAAS controller, will it be able to detect the controller and add itself as a node? Thnx. [03:51] st3el: what do you want the combo to do? [03:51] ActionParsnip: re:st3el close rhythmbox ;) [03:51] dotnetted: i'd ask in #vbox too [03:51] zykotic10, No I didn't but now its running and I'm not sure how to stop it... [03:51] ActionParsnip: good idea [03:51] zykotic10: look in wikipedia for "linux magic keys"... no danger with that key combo [03:51] st3el: in the menu isn't there a quit/close?

[04:20] EvilResistance, rest my friend - thanks [04:21] ActionParsnip: sudo dvd+rw-format -force /dev/sr0 this worked [04:21] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986591/ [04:21] ActionParsnip: thanks a lot! [04:21] ActionParsnip: i did not need to throw it.. RW worked.. just blanking was failing [04:21] ActionParsnip: now that works too.. thanks again! [04:23] Chipzzz: speed=1 was no go.. [04:23] axisys: glad ActionParsnip's solution worked :) [04:23] Chipzzz: yep [04:23] Hello all, I have a design question for a a4 powered media computer [04:24] ActionParsnip: thanks, i just find exactly what i'm looking for ... http://www.techlw.com/2012/02/install-qshutdown-timer-in-ubuntulinux.html [04:24] Would I need a video capture card to intercept the signal from the cable box? [04:24] going to run linux on it [04:25] Trying one last time: i've installed eclipse and am trying to install the android SDK in precise but 'Android' doesn't show up in the preferences window. Anybody have any ideas? [04:25] naemdar: yes, i think you would need one. [04:26] mplayer plays this mp4 fine.. but vlc does not [04:26] what gives? should I ask it in #videolan channel instead ? [04:26] the mobo has hdmi out and I found a video capture card with dual hdmi [04:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/986593/ [04:26] axisys: they don't necessarily share the same codecs [04:27] Chipzzz: i thought anything plays on vlc.. :-) .. guess not [04:27] axisys: well they're both ffmpeg backed, afaik, they just may not be running the same version [04:27] Am I right in thinking I could rock ubuntu or mint and turn that rig into a capture/bd recorder then? [04:28] axisys: their support is very good but mplayer does provide more codecs [04:28] as well as a bd player [04:28] Naemdar: what is 'bd'? [04:28] blue ray [04:28] playing blueray on linux is fun [04:28] Naemdar: don't see why not [04:29] doesn't vlc do blueray now? [04:29] cool deal will save me 100 bucks then on the os [04:29] I figure 8 gigs of ram quad core 2.6 with built in gpu, and a 1t drive with 100 gigs cut off for linux [04:30] ActionParsnip: decryption is still an issue, afaik [04:30] vlc ver 2.0: Experimental Blu-Ray Discs support using libbluray [04:30] but if you can break it, yes [04:30] its not quite like libdvdcss [04:30] not bothered for bluray personally, thats all I know [04:30] Naemdar: get an nvidia video card to :) [04:31] Naemdar: built in GPUs don't really cut it [04:31] going for really low power, I had considered a 7770 as that is powered off of the pcie port [04:31] Naemdar: you'll only need about 20Gb for linux (including swap) [04:32] it just has to all fit in a slim case and run cool without excessive fans [04:33] Naemdar: trimslice will decode HD video... [04:33] sweet, I knew this was the place get advice on the build [04:34] its kind of a project that I suspect will be a good learning experience [04:35] and 960 gigs or so to just store media is a winner [04:36] Naemdar: i'd just buy a trimslice and a 1Tb USB HDD :) [04:37] That is an option as well [04:37] its in the design stage right now, I figure why pay comcast for dvr service when I can build my own. [04:38] ident test [04:38] Hi Guys.. === trevor is now known as Guest81912 === root is now known as Guest43125 [04:39] root: are you using backtrack, or IRCing as root?

[04:40] i forgot. how do i change my handle? [04:40] Hi.. [04:40] Guest81912: The command is /nick [04:41] guest43125: you might have to disconnect and reconnect and do it === Guest81912 is now known as morpheus === morpheus is now known as Guest92912 === Guest92912 is now known as cmdpromt [04:42] does anyone know if precise is worthy of non servers (single pc's) ?? [04:43] cmdpromt: try it [04:43] cmdpromt, sure, what makes you think not? [04:44] Hi, I'm ugrading to 12.04 from 11.10. While installing packages, the upgrade process is stuck at part where it has to download flashplugin part? What can I do? Its not progressing [04:44] when i run a command as sudo, in auth.log the it shows USER=root instead of my username, is that fine/normal ? [04:45] how long has it been stuck trc? [04:45] qawsedrf: yep. sudo = running the command as root. [04:45] ok [04:45] Hi [04:45] Pretty long. Not normal I guess [04:45] wylde: the root account is locked in ubuntu - what does that mean ? [04:45] like half hour or more? [04:46] qawsedrf: it means it has no password set. :) [04:46] hey guys. I have a big problem. I can't get /dev/sda to show at all in devices [04:46] trc: how long has it been? [04:46] wylde: hm, i bought a new VPS, it gives me root login and has a password (i use that when i ssh) [04:46] Sheldon420: I think should be more than an hour. [04:46] trc: i updated the flashplugin installer a few minutes back .. it took almost 10-15 mins for me. [04:46] Saik: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [04:46] ssh root@ip , then it asks for the root password i think, so i can login as root [04:46] Saik: sda is a drive (single device), do you mean partitions (sda1 for example)? [04:47] trc do you have a fast stable internet connection? [04:47] trc: geez. that's quite long indeed. are you doing the update from terminal? [04:47] so something wrong ? [04:47] Sheldon420,...i was try but its same problem.. [04:47] Sheldon420: No, the distribution upgrade utility. [04:47] qawsedrf: you can set one, it's very much discouraged. Especially for "users". [04:47] Upgrding from 11.10 to 12.04 [04:48] Saik: sorry, misread your statement - nevermind me ;) [04:48] guest43125: close your irc software. open it again, within like 30 seconds, you have to type /nick to register it for the session. [04:48] trc: hmmm. one sec === Youri is now known as Iruoy [04:48] qawsedrf: If it's a VPS then that's how your provider set it up. I suppose you could create yourself a non-root user to use for running tasks. [04:49] hello [04:49] ok === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest20668 [04:50] Jordan_U, sure, sec [04:51] trc: unfortunately, if you cancel while the update is happening, it might screw up your system. hope you've made a backup. in the future, it's probably best to upgrade from a live usb or do a fresh install. [04:52] Sheldon420: Exactly. I'm thinking to cancel the update and install downloaded deb packages myself [04:52] Lets see [04:52] trc: it might make your system unbootable. [04:53] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/iEkbu7Ju [04:53] Sheldon420: i don't see trying to update versions from a liveusb as possible. chrooting would be required, isn't that just adding a lot of complexity? [04:53] Sheldon420: Not a problem. Can install grunb again from livecs [04:54] trc: as long as you've made a backup and don't have another OS on the computer, you shouldn't have too much problems in fixing it. [04:54] Saik: Does any OS see the internal drive? Are you sure that there isn't a hardware problem? [04:54] wylde: how do you set password for root ? just wondering [04:54] qawsedrf: its not supported here [04:54] !noroot [04:54] We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [04:55] qawsedrf: ^^ what ActionParsnip said [04:55] zykotic10: there's an option in the livecd/usb to upgrade. pretty simple. [04:55] I installed this OS with home encryption on /sda1 harddrive then I set the swap on /sdc1, I used the /sdb1 as stick installation instead of cd-rom, but when I pulled it out to boot from /sda1 I guess it made sdc1 into sdb1, and now I have no swap. When ubuntu boots up it tells me this: The disk drive for dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not yet ready or present. [04:55] Sheldon420: Yeah. Thanks :) [04:55] qawsedrf: you don't need to either, just run: sudo -i [04:55] hehe ok [04:55] :D [04:56] is Sheldon420's upgrading ubuntu-version from livecd/usb true? history only the alternative iso could be used for updating? [04:56] Jordan_U, it was fine a few hours ago [04:56] Jordan_U, I eraces the partions and that happened [04:56] zykotic10: for the sake of trying I updated one of my machines using a "livecd". It went quite well actually. [04:56] wylde: humm, that's interesting. [04:57] Jordan_U, Windows couldn't see it. I tried reformating it in linux and it vanished [04:57] Saik: I don't think that erasing the partitions has anything to do with the dive as a whole not showing up. I suspect that the drive hardware simply died. [04:57] zykotic10: i'm not just speaking out of my ass, you know :) [04:57] n1ckn4me09876543: the fstab uses UUIDs, not the block names, so it won't make a different [04:57] wylde: ActionParsnip: basically, sudo runs a command as the root user , right ? [04:57] *difference [04:57] qawsedrf: yes. [04:57] qawsedrf: yes, if you need admin access, prefix with sudo [04:57] ok, thank you [04:58] Sheldon420: sorry, just needed some confirmation. [04:58] zykotic10: no worries [04:58] zykotic10: I read it somewhere that it was possible with the 12.04 live media so I tried it :) [04:59] ActionParsnip, ok how can i remap it so I'm using swap? the only reason I set swap on different device is I read somewhere online that putting the os and swap on save harddrive will make it work more because it reads back and fort etc etc [05:00] n1ckn4me09876543: that would really only become an issue if you're running with a small amount of RAM [05:00] Jordan_U, explain how that could be possible when it was showing up just a short while ago? [05:01] Saik: Hardware dies. That means that there will be a point where it is working, and another point later where it is not. [05:01] Jordan_U, but what exactly does this mean: Error: /dev/sr0: unrecognised disk label [05:02] Saik: It may simply be a loose connection rather than something unfixable, but it's almost certainly a hardware problem. [05:02] Jordan_U, Windows gives a "Unmountablte_boot_volume" error [05:02] Saik: That means that your CDROM drive doesn't isn't formatted like a normal hard drive, i.e. that error is completely normal. [05:03] the last time i tried installing precise it froze and I ended up having to completely reinstall my os and lost all data [05:03] hodl on, I have another hd [05:03] cmdpromt: that's why you keep backups. [05:03] an external, bt let's see if it shows [05:04] that's beside the point [05:04] Jordan_U, Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB (external hd..) [05:04] that should be sdb ) [05:06] also I need help configuring my Belkin wireless adapter, I'm using n600db [05:06] Saik: I hope you have backups for all the data that was on the now dead drive. You might ask in ##hardware for tips on what cables or other simple things to check but don't get your hopes up. [05:06] Jordan_U, I'll do a quick HW check and see if anything's out of place in the tower [05:06] I'll be right back [05:06] (I'm not going in the tower with the power on) [05:07] n1ckn4me09876543: if you edit your /etc/fstab file, you can make the right partition be used for swap. You can see the UUID of the partition by running: sudo blkid [05:09] n1ckn4me09876543: could also run: sudo swapon a [05:09] Hello, I am having problems getting an application to show on the unity dock. I drag it over but it just disappears... [05:09] n1ckn4me09876543: sudo swapon -a [05:09] Can't find much on google.. Anyone seen this before? [05:10] n1ckn4me09876543: the router is moot, we need your wireless adapter [05:10] gbear14275, open the application from dash, when it shows in the panel, right click on it and select attach to panel [05:10] Gdammit. Any help with upgrading my distro? 11 hour long upgrade just failed, failed on the kernel update I think... [05:11] God damn that bug. [05:11] lorddelta: tried with the alternate ISO? [05:11] boh, it never shows in the panel [05:11] that sux [05:11] ActionParsnip: Not using ISO [05:11] lorddelta: you could try it [05:11] i hate that when that happens [05:11] ActionParsnip, my usb wireless adapter is n600db F9L1101v1 [05:11] n1ckn4me09876543: run: lsusb use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [05:12] ActionParsnip: I could...if I could figure out where to get it/what it does. I don't have a GUI, trying to fly by console only... [05:12] lorddelta: you don't need GUI to mount an ISO file [05:12] boh, it shows in top but I can't get to the interface... [05:12] very confusing [05:12] n1ckn4me09876543: seems to use ndiswrapper as most belkin rubbish does [05:13] how do u set up copy-on-write using aufs or overlayfs? [05:13] now I can't alt-tab to it either [05:13] gbear14275, what application are you using? [05:13] boh, transmission [05:14] gbear14275: ...is there an icon up by the clock when it's running? [05:14] ActionParsnip: Sure... How is an alternate ISO file going to help me out? Since its a bug with there not being enough space on /boot...shouldn't I just uninstall the new kernel and try running the upgrade again? [05:14] wylde, there was, but I recently turned it off thinking perhaps that was the problem. Now I can't even get to the gui [05:14] gbear14275, if i'm not wrong, you mean the application not showing in indicator applet? [05:14] ActionParsnip, i type in command lsusb then what 8 character the model number? [05:15] wylde, I used to have to click on that icon, select "open" and then cancel out of that screen to get the main gui up [05:15] ActionParsnip nvm [05:15] boh, it's not showing anywhere in the gui [05:15] boh, but it's running... shows in top [05:15] gbear14275: hmmm, yeah the transmission icon only shows on my launcher when I open it from the indicator. [05:16] why do i get choppy Adobe Flash audio only on Ubuntu? CentOS, Debian and Fedora don't do this [05:16] it's a ThinkPad T60 with 3GB RAM [05:16] and it's a bit of a deal-breaker :( [05:17] gbear14275: not sure what to tell you. I've not ever had a problem of that sort with transmission. [05:17] wylde, boh, haha, indications still work though... just "dinged" at me when it completed a file [05:17] lol [05:17] gbear14275: what if you tried to launch it in terminal. [05:17] gbear14275, so you can see the transmission icon near the indicator area but does not show up in the unity panel? [05:18] boh, no... I see no indications that it is running at all [05:18] wylde, nothing right now... guessing because it's already running [05:18] wylde, let me kill it and try to relaunch [05:19] gbear14275: 'killall transmission-gtk' then try starting with 'transmission-gtk' [05:19] gbear14275: if it's throwing errors they'll show in the terminal window [05:19] gbear14275, look at the running process from system monitor and see if transmission is running [05:19] ??? [05:19] killall says it's not running... but top does... wtf?! [05:20] boh, yup shows up there [05:20] ok killed it through system monitor [05:20] I'll try launching from dash [05:21] gbear14275: lol ok, apparently that doesn't work, if you can get the pid from top 'kill [05:22] wylde, boh, ok comes up when I launch it.... but still no indicators anywhere... if I minimize it I think I won't be able to get back to it [05:22] gbear14275: you have an icon on the launcher now tho? [05:22] gbear14275: if so pin it now hehe [05:22] wylde, boh also doesn't show up in alt-tab menu either... is that program list related to the thing on the left (?dash?) [05:22] ah nope... no launcher indicator [05:23] gbear14275: that's the "Launchbar" [05:23] Is there games, ala the first myst's, but which uses high-resolution still pictures from the real world? [05:23] how to close ports 135, 137, 138, 139? [05:23] or any games [05:23] wylde, ok no launchbar/launcher indicator also no icon in my alt-tab icons... are they related? [05:24] OMG I remember Myst. I also remember Riven being uber difficult. Could never get past that one place... [05:24] gbear14275: that's definitely odd behavior. At this point I'd suggest filing a bug. 'ubuntu-bug transmission-gtk' will get the process started. I'll search a bit on askubuntu.com and the forums. [05:25] wylde, just found tis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129452/application-locked-to-launcher-without-icon [05:25] will try [05:25] rfictus, do you use Samba? I think those ports are required for it to function [05:25] wylde thanks ill file a bug [05:25] TomatoKetchup: no, no samba [05:25] just ubuntu [05:25] TomatoKetchup: ubuntu [05:26] gbear14275: thanks, that is most certainly not "intended behavior". [05:26] success [05:26] that command looks to have fixed itt [05:27] gbear14275: good stuff, I'd still file a bug though :) [05:27] but problem was persistent across reboot fyi [05:27] gotta go [05:27] or search for one. It's probably got a fix if there's a soloution for it. [05:27] assuming he didn't know what Samba is [05:27] that command didn't background either... still in my terminal [05:28] gbear14275: if you hit enter does it go to the background? :) [05:28] thanks for your help wylde and boh [05:29] gbear14275: :) [05:29] gbear14275: you are welcome [05:29] Jordan_U, http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=120514074040573862.png [05:34] Jordan_U, any ideas? === mosno2 is now known as mosno [05:36] well, i "fixed" my stuttering audio in Adobe Flash -- i switched from Unity to Unity 2D. [05:37] ActionParsnip: Well, looks like I am running the new kernel, and the new Ubuntu. However, I'm still relegated to cmdline...gotta figure out how to get some sort of working desktop back...looks like the updates killed KDE. Doesn't help I'm two months rusty on my *nix stuff. [05:37] lorddelta: can you service lightdm start? [05:38] or did you use kdm? [05:39] nibalizer: seems like I setup kdm. Ubuntu sure doesn't have this sweet faux-Steampunk login page. :) [05:39] Not by default anyways. [05:40] nibalizer: Am I in for a long grueling read on how to setup ubuntu desktop with kdm? [05:41] i want to use KDE widget inside gnome environment is that possible ?? [05:42] Jordan_U, and now it doesn't show up again === gloscon is now known as khyati [05:43] unkrr: Seems likely...You can use Qt/KDE/GTK inside Gnome/KDE Desktop...You probably have to start a daemon or something. No I don't know which one, just getting back into this myself, but I think it should be *possible*, persay [05:44] Is there games, ala the first myst's, but which uses high-resolution still pictures from the real world? [05:44] so do i file a bug under unity or flash? [05:45] lorddelta, any suggestion or help regarding that ? [05:45] unkrr: you can run kde apps from gnome, provided you have the right libraries. Apt should take care of that for you, as long as you don't mind a large install.... [05:45] Loshki, okk thnx [05:46] lorddelta, thnx === a is now known as Guest80964 [05:47] Saik: Again, this is almost certainly a hardware problem. [05:48] Saik: Can you pastebin the outptu of "dmesg"? [05:48] unkrr: Look around the documentation for plasma-widgets. www.kde.org [05:49] unkrr: Though from personal experience, its always a headache getting gtk and qt to play nice together, so don't expect it to be easy. Best of Luck! [05:49] lorddelta, ok and by the way can you suggest me some widget that can be helpful for common bases like cpu usage mem usage and RSS feed [05:49] yeah i need the luck [05:49] thnx [05:49] Jordan_U, can you give me a command to print to file? [05:50] Saik: dmesg > Desktop/dmesg.txt [05:50] i cant view the list with fdisk -l [05:51] i got it "fdisk: unable to look in /dev/sda: Invalid argument" [05:51] i have raid 0 [05:52] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/5fc7ksgN [05:52] sancas: If it's FakeRAID (which it appears to be) then you want to list partitions on the RAID device, not on one of the member drives. [05:53] Saik: "[ 1759.912269] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 2048" more evidence that this is a hardware failure. [05:54] yeah is FakeRAID and... how can i get a list partitions on the RAID device? [05:54] unkrr: Well if you're using KDE, and I assume you are since you know about their widgets, I think it comes with CPU Monitor, which does a lot of that. I think there's a default RSS feed widget too...if you want a single widget to do all of that...sorry I don't know of one. [05:54] sancas: "sudo parted -l" should work. [05:55] Jordan_U, any way to fix it at all without replacing the hard drive? [05:55] lorddelta, yeah i need that single one would be helpful anyways thnx for the help [05:55] Saik: It depends on what type of failure it is, but unless it's just a bad cable probably not. Try asking in ##hardware. [05:55] thanks Jordan_U [05:55] Saik: You're welcome. [05:56] sancas: ^^ :) [05:56] ^ [05:56] unkrr: try conky. highly configurable and you can make it as easy or as complex as you like.

I could only find developers versions on the link you gave me, but I guess I get the same from java.com and I see they have som sort of install instructions too:) [06:31] what the heck is this?!? fresh install of 12.04 server in a VM, updated, installed dhcp server and squid-deb-proxy... now I've got a process named 'whoopsie' running... sounds kinda odd!

[06:33] Jordan_U: nothing :( [06:33] !bootinfo | sancas [06:33] sancas: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [06:33] sancas: That usually means that your Windows installation is broken. [06:33] TomatoKetchup, interesting... I did a quick net search for 'ubuntu whoopsie' and got nuttin'... [06:34] fucking Windows [06:34] really? I found it first try, googled whoopsie ubuntu [06:34] sancas, no cursing here [06:34] ;) [06:34] oeeve: install the jdk7 read this tutorial and you can do it http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/linux/linux-jdk.html [06:34] Saik: reading man-pages for new cmd is alwas the way to go if you dont know em [06:35] fidel: Err http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe libhd15 15.3-1ubuntu1 [06:35] TomatoKetchup, guess DuckDuckGo finally let me down ;) [06:35] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.193 80] [06:35] it hates me lol [06:35] i will try something :P [06:35] veebull, yeah I gave up on that a few days ago... it's not google [06:35] !eolupgrades | Saik [06:35] Saik: jaunty is has been long time since stopped support, please upgrade or install a supported ubuntu version [06:35] Saik: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [06:36] I'll try that, thank you sancas:) btw, how do you get "my nick" in front of message? quite nifty, makes it quite a lot easier to chat in irc;p [06:36] oeeve, type three letters and hit tab [06:36] no, no its not... but 99% of the time I can live without the 'tailored' search results [06:36] Hello.

[06:39] Jordan_U, freezes at bootup [06:39] Saik: Have you tried the nomodeset kernel parameter? [06:39] !nomodeset | Saik [06:39] Saik: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [06:41] how do u set up copy-on-write using aufs or overlayfs? [06:42] pp7: What is your end goal? [06:43] Jordan_U, I have no clue how to do that, but you've seen what this pc is. it should handle it without an issue [06:43] Saik: See the link that ubottu sent you. [06:43] Saik, there is a link, please read it [06:43] Jordan_U, to run any an app in an environment where i can delete all changes it made to disk [06:44] pp7: Are you planning on making all of the root filesystem use this aufs overlay? [06:45] yes [06:46] Has anyone tried Clonezilla with a hard drive containing Ubuntu 12.04? I have and it failed to create the image. [06:46] pp7: Are you planning to reboot whenever you want to add or get rid of this overlay? Rolling back all changes to the root filesytem is likely to cause serious problems if you try to do it on a running system. [06:46] anyone here know how to get squid-deb-proxy *working* on 12.04? [06:47] Jordan_U, i will experiment first to figure the in's and out's of how it works, but first I just need to know how to do it [06:47] can anyone pls tell me after upgrading to ubuntu 12.04 my laptop does not go into the power off mode after shut down [06:47] or how to tell if it *is* working? === aragorn is now known as safridzal [06:49] hi [06:49] i was trying to add a user to sudoers file === safridzal is now known as aragorn [06:50] but i think i have made a mistake [06:50] now i m not able ti use sudo === aragorn is now known as safridzal [06:50] it says parsing error on line 18 of sudoers file [06:50] how can i revert the changes? [06:51] the latest I have is 10.04 [06:51] sabermonk: did you use 'visudo' to edit the sudoers file? [06:52] would that be new enough? [06:52] svg: no i used vi [06:54] Jordan_U, still there? === Youri is now known as Iruoy [06:56] hi guys i need help. is there any program in ubuntu that can change the shown program per minute? [06:56] DND: Alt-Tab? [06:57] like for example in advertisement tvs first you will see ad #1 then after 5 minutes you will see ad #2 [06:57] jpds, yes but i wanted to have it automated [06:57] That's a long TV ad. [06:57] we wanted to show some live statistics but we are limited to a one 32" tv [06:57] jpds, its just for an example :D [06:58] you know when you go to malls you will see tvs that show ads [06:58] but for us we wanted to have done on browsers === Dorito is now known as Guest56974 [07:01] pp7: do-release-upgrade does something like this, and seems to have an option to setup an aufs *chroot* which might be more what you want to do, see /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeAufs.py. Also, if you use btrfs then you can simply use snapshots and probably make your life a lot easier. [07:01] hmm [07:02] Looks like I'll be sticking with 10.04 until I can find a way of backing up 12.04 entirely [07:02] moviebun, DD? [07:03] Jordan_U, can u point me to a tutorial or something, preferably something that has a commandline example :P [07:05] pp7: I doubt you're going to find one for aufs, it's more a tool meant to be used by those developing LiveCDs. For btrfs though you probably can find good guides, try asking in #btrfs. [07:05] Anyone who can help me with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/134147/running-ubuntu-on-uefi-mode [07:06] Jordan_U, thx [07:06] pp7: You're welcome. [07:06] ...so...do I need gtk2 for anything? [07:07] Cause looks like I've got an old gtk theme that's screwing with plasma somehow...Ubuntu Unity doesn't work, I liked my KDE desktop anyhow...time to get rid of gtk2 apparently? [07:07] Or is there something I should know? [07:09] Also...there totally needs to be a way to google via cmd line. [07:09] (if there isn't already) [07:11] sabermonk: You should have used visudo, it would have told you there was an error. You might try using it now to fix the issue, I'm not sure, but it might tell you what the problem is. [07:11] Every time I start up Ubuntu (12.04) the first time I press enter (no matter what window I'm focused on, if any) it logs me out. When I log back in I can press enter without any hinderance. Any information related to this bug is greatly appreciated. [07:12] snapdata: does that happen only with 1 desktop-environment - or all? [07:13] fidel: If you mean seperate accounts, I haven't created a second. I have however had to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 twice and the same issue reappeared after a few restarts (without installing any additional software) [07:13] DND: Will DD backup the entire drive in a cloning fashion or is it just for data from programs? What I'm after is the same level of restorability that Clonezilla gives me - an entire disk image that can be restored to a new drive. [07:13] snapdata: well basically i ment unity, gnome-shell .... [07:14] fidel: I only use the default. === tensorpudding__ is now known as tensorpudding [07:18] i want a theme for my kubuntu which not blue, any suggestion ? just finished install kubuntu [07:20] safridzal, kde-look.org [07:21] ktwo: ah,, ok thanks [07:21] :D [07:26] Remastersys was great in 10.04 - anyone using it in 12.04?

[07:46] Oer: I am not finding help anywhere [07:47] linuxfreaker, you would at times on here start a thread at the ubuntu forum.

[08:21] BlueEagle: Hold on... [08:21] ubuntuppuser: maybe there's some GUI tools [08:21] ubuntuppuser: Now if you check the options you will find that -e allows you to directly execute an expression. Also check the examples for example expressions. [08:21] ubuntuppuser: xkeycaps [08:21] ubuntuppuser: is this available in Ubuntu ? [08:21] BlueEagle: Trying to read. Give me a minute or two.

[08:24] panesar_sandeep: most likely there's no enough room in /run/ , not sure [08:24] panesar_sandeep: It would help if you told us what that "something about system bus failure" was exactly.

Question still stands [08:26] ubuntuppuser: press "Win" key , and type in the command in unity , and press "Enter" [08:26] Hoyt: Yes, that's what I tried. [08:28] ubuntuppuser: launch gnome-terminal , [08:28] lorddelta: The easiest way to restore the system is to install ubuntu-desktop (or ubuntu-standard) as it depends on all packages that make up the ubuntu desktop system.

[08:34] KM0201: that happens since 9.10 [08:34] KM0201: alt-sysrq-k [08:35] KM0201: if i recall correctly [08:35] llutz: i knew there was a default one involving alt-sysrq [08:35] Hoyt: i think it was like 10.04.. but.. it's been a while since i actively used ubuntu [08:36] sweet, control alt backspace is back. [08:36] KM0201: that change came from upstream xorg, not ubuntu [08:37] llutz: i just know that it annoyed me. [08:37] lol [08:37] hey all, does anyone know where i can get "openssl_1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.2_amd64.deb" ? I need the older version [08:38] !packages | GuySoft [08:38] GuySoft: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [08:39] KM0201, "hard log out" = right alt + printscreen + K [08:40] Oer: its ok, i just enabled cntrl alt backspace [08:40] Oer: i always thought it was stupid to change it from cntrl alt backspace anyway [08:40] KM0201, that package is two versions back. I am trying to locolize a posible bug that was created a version ago. [08:41] GuySoft: it should still be on packages.ubuntu.com just search by ubuntu version (they have packages going back to hardy) [08:41] GuySoft: you're trying to install some non-official packages , so you need the older version ? [08:43] Hoyt, no i am trying to compile qt with ssl. and version 4.2.2 seems to fail with the current ssl version. I worked two weeks ago so i am pretty sure its the last two upgrades that caused it [08:44] and its a problem finding that spesific version because ubuntu repos dont store versions on that resolution. [08:45] GuySoft: ok , so compile your customized openssl , and specify link flags [08:45] Hoyt, i need it to be static. [08:45] GuySoft: of course [08:45] GuySoft: statically compile openssl , and link the ".a" files [08:46] Hoyt, ah, well I am trying to avoid that [08:46] GuySoft: i'm confused [08:47] Hoyt, ah wait, you might be right. [08:47] GuySoft: i've done this before , there's some option in qt's configure script IIRC [08:48] Hoyt, I am just using openssl for other stuff here. so it got me confused [08:48] Hoyt, wait what? an option to do what? [08:49] Hoyt, perhaps you might recognize the compile error? its reported around the net but no one seems to answer how to solve it (apart from disabline ssl) [08:49] GuySoft: ./configure -help | less [08:49] GuySoft: maybe , not guaranteed === ludkiller|AFK is now known as ludkiller [08:49] GuySoft: do you still have the old .deb locally at /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? [08:50] GuySoft: yeah , if you still have it , you can hold it for updates [08:50] Hoyt, http://nopaste.dk/p5088 [08:50] Hoyt, an option to do what? [08:51] GuySoft: choose the openssl version to use [08:51] Hoyt, we can do that? hang on === ludkiller is now known as ludkiller|AFK [08:51] GuySoft: i'm not sure , check it by ./configure -help | less [08:51] GuySoft: also, the changelog may contain information related to your problem http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.5/changelog [08:52] Hey my second monitor is not detected by the System Settings>Screens window I always have to go to the nvidia configuration to activate it, are there any known solutions for this? [08:53] Hoyt, i did. only yes no or linked [08:53] ferni, the problem is not the changelog, is to get the actual older package :) [08:53] Kruptein: just curious: what login-manager & window-environment are you using? [08:54] fidel: just greeter+unity [08:55] Kruptein: lightdm & unity ok. in case you might have kdm & kde installed - it might be interesting to define kdm temporaly the primary login-manager. this solved my dualo-monitor setup which was similar to yours (while i dont login to kde itsef -> gnome-shell) [08:55] its for sure not a real solution - but i was to lazy to mess around with xorg conf at that point where i noticed kdm & gnome-shell did everything i needed out of the box [08:56] in case you have it already installed - maybe worth a try . otherwise for sure not [08:56] GuySoft: yeah, well do you have the older package in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? seems you can at least 1.0.0e-2ubuntu4 from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/ [08:57] fidel I quite like lightdm :( [08:57] ferni, no the building is done here on chroot, the package cache is not saved [08:57] it's just strange that ubuntu does not detect that I have a second monitor === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [08:58] dual-monitor-handling seems pretty much (half) broken right now - at leasts thats how it was here [09:02] Hello folks. [09:03] As far as I can tell, Ubuntu comes bundled with vim. Doing a vim --version tells me I got VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3, howver, there is no vim command. [09:03] Why is that? [09:03] GeorgeJ: vi is a symlink to vim [09:04] I know it is. But why is vim not available? [09:04] GeorgeJ: "vi improved = vim" [09:04] I know. [09:04] vim is not installed by default vi is [09:04] vi is a symlink to vim, how is vim not installed? [09:04] it's not on my system [09:04] fresh install [09:04] can't do the vim --version command either [09:04] GeorgeJ: the binary is called "vi" on most systems for legacy reasons [09:05] I know, but, how can vi be a symlink to vim if vim is not installed? [09:05] yh was wrong [09:05] vim is just installed under command vi [09:05] GeorgeJ: it's not symlinked any more like it used to be [09:05] the binary is valled vi [09:05] ikonia: It is on 12.04 [09:05] GeorgeJ: what is [09:06] which vi == /etc/alternatives/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.tiny [09:06] GeorgeJ: right, so there you go, /usr/bin/vim.tiny is the binary you are linked to [09:06] which vi = /usr/bin/vi on my fresh isntall [09:06] which vi == /usr/bin/vin -> /etc/alternatives/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.tiny Sorry. [09:06] GeorgeJ: ok, so the binary is vim.tiny [09:07] hello ppl, my XFS partition is almost full and i need to grow the partition without lose my data [09:07] There is a way to change the partition beginning point without move all data to the first blocks (like gparted do)? [09:07] CrazyGangster: no [09:07] I'm only asking because, vim seems to be installed, why should I installed the package vim, then? [09:08] There-s a difference between vim and vim-tiny? [09:08] GeorgeJ: what are you talking about, [09:08] ikonia: Sorry left for soemtime [09:08] GeorgeJ: you have a vim build on your system, do you want to change it ? [09:08] ikonia: My dell poweredge machine is configured with RAID correct [09:08] linuxfreaker: what raid level [09:08] ikonia: RAID 0 [09:08] linuxfreaker: hardware or software raid ? [09:09] ikonia: Hardware RAID..there is no OS as of now in that hardware [09:09] ikonia: how you know? [09:09] ikonia: Well, I now realised vi, on a fresh Ubuntu install is just a symlink to vim-tiny [09:09] linuxfreaker: is it fake raid (dm raid) or true hardware raid [09:09] Perhaps there's a difference between the vim-tiny and vim packages. [09:09] CrazyGangster: what's the point of asking if you are going to question the answer, [09:10] GeorgeJ: there is, [09:10] ikonia: TRue Hardware RAID created pressing Ctrl+R > Deleted the old RAID > Created a new one with 2 physical disk [09:10] GeorgeJ: sudo apt-get install vim if you want the "full vim" [09:10] ikonia: That is on R620 machine [09:10] linuxfreaker: that doesn't meant it's true hardware raid [09:10] linuxfreaker: what raid controller is it [09:10] who wanna to chat with me? [09:10] ikonia: PERC H310 [09:11] linuxfreaker: ok, so is that a hostbased raid controller, or a true hardware raid device ? [09:11] Avishek12: this is a support-channel - consider #ubuntu-offtopic for "chat" [09:11] ikonia: Thats corresponds to LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240 [09:11] linuxfreaker: ok, so is that a hostbased raid controller, or a true hardware raid device ? [09:11] hello, need help here, do i need to run aticonfig --initial after install fglrx-updates on my precise ?? [09:11] ikonia: Thats PERC Card.. [09:11] linuxfreaker: that means nothing [09:12] linuxfreaker: is it a host based raid solution or a true hardware raid card [09:12] i've read somewhere ubuntu dont need aticonfig --initial [09:12] ikonia: a true hardware RAID Card [09:12] linuxfreaker: are you sure ? [09:12] ikonia: yes [09:13] ikonia: Let me confirm once [09:13] ikonia: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/products/pvaul/topics/en/us/raid_controller?c=us&l=en [09:13] linuxfreaker: not asking for links [09:13] ikonia: Thats host based [09:14] linuxfreaker: I'm asking you to confrim if it's a true hardware raid controller or host based [09:14] Is it safe to use `sudo -H` with graphical programs? (the ones that might have problems if you use them with just sudo) [09:14] !gksudo | cousteau [09:14] cousteau: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [09:15] linuxfreaker: is your card hardware or host based raid [09:15] I mean, is the only problem of using sudo that it may (over)write files on $HOME and thus change their permissions? because in that case, sudo -H would be fine [09:16] since it changes the $HOME to root's [09:16] (fake raid) [09:16] ikonia: Thats hardware card which I inserted in R720 board [09:16] linuxfreaker: not what I asked [09:16] I say this because I'm considering adding alias sudo='sudo -H' to my .bashrc [09:16] linuxfreaker: please answer the question, is the card a true hardware raid card, or a host raid card (fake raid) [09:16] ikonia: How to know that? [09:17] linuxfreaker: you research your model and read the specifications [09:17] ikonia: All i can see is its hardware card I inserted into slot [09:17] linuxfreaker: if it has it's own processor to deal with the raid, it's hardware,if it uses your systems cpu, it's host raid [09:17] ikonia: I have one of those, it's hardware RAID [09:17] genii-around: thank you [09:17] genii-around: thnx [09:18] linuxfreaker: so the raid level / card should not be a factor here [09:18] np [09:18] ikonia: ok [09:18] linuxfreaker: the factor you need to concern your self with is the grub component and the partition layout (making the efi partitions etc) [09:18] ikonia: What shud be the approach [09:19] ikonia: I too guess it is GRUB issue [09:19] linuxfreaker: exactly what I've just said, create the correct partition layout for efi [09:19] linuxfreaker: then install using the efi compatible grub (I believe 10.04 and later support it - but check) [09:19] linuxfreaker: you should have no problems at that point [09:19] hi guys [09:20] ikonia: I have Ubuntu 10.04 DVD...how to install it before installing the ubuntu [09:20] is there any more much lighter than Unity 2d? [09:20] !lubuntu | DND [09:20] DND: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [09:20] ikonia: One thing more [09:20] linuxfreaker: you use the partition tool to create the partitions before install [09:20] DND: xfce maybe [09:21] hello guys, if i want to instally only the php5-mysqlnd package from 12.04 on 11.10, how can i do that? [09:21] ikonia: I pressed F11 > Selected UEFI > DVD > browse to efi/boot/bootx64.efi > GRUB gets displayed > Blank screen [09:22] alex88: you don't mix releases packages [09:22] fidel, there's no xfce in the options. only Unity and Unity 2d [09:22] linuxfreaker: you need to partition your disk to be efi laid out [09:22] so i need to install it in apt? [09:22] !xfce | DND [09:22] DND: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[09:22] linuxfreaker: yes [09:22] auronandace, so long dpkg rebuild way? :/ [09:23] Anyone using Acer Aspire S3? How is the touchpad support with 12.04? [09:23] alex88: not sure sorry [09:23] ilembitov: running a live-cd might give you a first impression in case no-one inhere is using that specific hw [09:24] hallo [09:24] ilembitov, seems so http://www.linlap.com/wiki/acer+aspire+s3 [09:24] fidel how do i ask the bot some questions? [09:24] DND: send it a pm [09:24] !bot [09:24] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [09:24] lol [09:25] alex88: Seen that article. "right click binded to two finger tap" is not good. Besides, that page does not mention 12.04 or kernel 3.3 [09:25] ilembitov, true that === Youri is now known as Iruoy [09:26] So Im installing ubuntu on a lattitude xt2, and am getting an error saying "ubi-usersetup failed with exit code 1" any thoughts? [09:26] fidel: yeah, I know, but I'd have to get my hands on a real unit for that. I'm actually just doing some fact-checking for an article =) [09:26] ;) [09:28] wow its a good thing 12.04 did not removed any legacy drivers esp the agp video cards [09:31] BlueEagle: Still here? I tried installing the full Ubuntu Desktop packages...it works for 5 seconds before everything blacks out. [09:31] And then it stays black.

It could be a faulty cd but I wondered if there was any software which would try to correct the errors on reading instead of failing instantly [09:48] hi all [09:48] a bit like a slower read or a multiple read [09:49] can i ask some question about ubuntu ? (i am a newbie) [09:49] <_ruben> !ask [09:49] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:50] kami^, this is support but rather slow go for it. :) [09:50] !patience [09:50] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:51] ok so i try, i am an old version of ubuntu and they say me that is better to upgrade to new version. that means that i am reformat my pc or just make un upgrade ?? [09:51] (im italian) [09:51] kami^, no need to format [09:52] kami^: what version are you running right now? [09:52] fidel: how i can see ? i think 10... [09:52] kami^, what version is installed right now? [09:52] kami^: in terminal: lsb_release -a [09:52] fidel: 10.010 [09:53] kami^, 10.10? [09:53] yes [09:53] maybe it would be easier to just reinstall [09:53] do you have /home on a separate partition? [09:53] wilee-nilee: after 10.10 there is 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 (current Long term support version) [09:53] erm that was supposed for kami^ [09:54] kami^, that is end of life but can be upgraded follow this link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [09:54] yes but im not so good for doing this kind of stuff alone [09:54] fidel, why are you telling me this? [09:54] wilee-nilee: read the line after that line - it was a wrong nick-usage [09:54] fidel, ah no biggie, lol [09:56] thanks fidel wilee-nilee and cousteau , i will try to do the upgrade [09:56] cousteau: is there a best way to reinstall and then reintroduce your /home partition. do you just reinstall and then modify the fstab to mount your separate home instead of the home - are there any issues with using the same username or is it better to create a new user and then simply copy the files from one users directory to the other [09:57] steveccc, on the installer there's an option to use the partition where you have your home as /home, and then you specify not to format it [09:57] and I just use the same username [09:57] Hi all === Guest58239 is now known as Ozzyboshi [09:58] conusteau: i have done that before but I thought I got permission problems - I resolved them but it made me wonder if it was the best method - obviously it is [09:58] if I want to encrypt a whole disk I know ubuntu has its own methods to do this but there is also truecrypt - is there an advantage of one over another? [10:00] sorry just another think, the upgrade managment say that i can release to ubuntu 11.04 is that the newest version ? [10:01] kami^: 12.04 is the latest === babilen is now known as Guest26965 [10:03] 11.04 is the version you can directly upgrade to if you're using 10.10 [10:03] cousteau: i will do this [10:04] the easy way is the best way if you are a newbie [10:04] if you want to upgrade to 12.04 you either have to reinstall or do the upgrade step by step: 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 [10:04] (I'd recommend reinstalling) [10:04] (specially if your /home is separate) [10:05] i think is separatly but i don't know [10:05] a friend install me ubuntu [10:05] mount | grep home [10:05] unless he has a lot of time.. === levlandau is now known as Guest10037 [10:06] if you type mount | grep home on a terminal and get a line like /dev/sda5 on /home type ext4 (rw) then your home is separate [10:06] kami^: type what cousteau typed [10:07] where ? [10:07] in terminal ? [10:07] on a terminal [10:07] kami^: yes [10:07] Ctrl-Alt-T [10:08] he say gvfs-fuse-daemon on home/lucas/.gvfs ... [10:08] only that? [10:09] then no, your home is not separate [10:09] I don't know how to upgrade without a separate home, sorry... (it probably can be done, but I don't know the exact procedure) [10:09] type fuse.gvfs-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=lucas) [10:09] Hey guys [10:09] I have a problem [10:10] A horrible problem :| [10:10] ok, so i make the upgrade [10:10] if your home were separate you'd have another line saying something like /dev/sd?? on /home type ????? [10:10] I can't seem to download updates and stuff from the software center nor any other repositories [10:10] Qasaur, do we have 3 guesses? [10:10] and this only happens in school [10:10] ok [10:10] It's obviously something to do with the network and I'm trying to figure out what it is [10:11] Qasaur, what Ubuntu version and what are your repositories? [10:11] 12.04 and Main [10:11] main server? [10:11] no main repository [10:11] I mean, what server are you using? [10:11] Lemme check [10:12] Main server [10:12] Like I said, this only happens on the school network [10:12] Is the ports blocked or something? [10:13] less /etc/apt/sources.list [10:13] huh? [10:13] I think it uses normal http, so I don't think it's a port problem [10:13] (the port for repositories is 80, right?) [10:13] well. I actually know many university networks where plain HTTP is not allowed. [10:13] Hey guys, I got a problem with my Live USB Ubuntu, when I try to boot it, all what comes is "Verifying DMI pool data.....succes...", it never continues, any ideas? [10:13] This is a small school, not university [10:13] simple check: telnet yourself to google.com port 80 and check whether it connects [10:14] alright [10:14] muelli, why not telnet archive.ubuntu.com? [10:14] Qasaur, to know which server you're using: grep -m 1 ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list [10:14] cousteau: because it's more typing work ;-) Other than that: No reason [10:14] Unable to connect [10:14] there you go [10:15] weird [10:15] I typed : telnet archive.ubuntu.com [10:15] telnet archive.ubuntu.com 80 [10:15] nah Qasaur. telnet google.com www [10:15] yep that works [10:15] muelli, "www" instead of 80? didn't know that [10:15] How can I make there a button in the Unity thingy that appears when I press flag for a command-line command? [10:15] Qasaur: and then type "GET /" and hit enter a few times and check whether the response is google. [10:16] cousteau: the ports have a "name" which is defined in /etc/services [10:16] muelli: What do you mean? [10:17] Qasaur: in the connected telnet session, issue a GET request yourself, to check whether your network presents you a proxy page or indeed the real google. [10:17] How do I issue a GET request? [10:17] muelli, oooh, I see... cause maybe there's some sort of "web trap" that makes you enter a fake page to log in before you can access real internet [10:17] Qasaur: type "GET /" in the telnet session. [10:17] I did [10:17] didn't get any response [10:18] google closed the connection a few seconds later [10:18] well Qasaur. Try again, being quicker. [10:18] when you open internet, do you just get internet, or some sort of "Login" page? [10:18] so when I telnet into google I just type "GET /"? [10:18] yep [10:18] well cousteau. moot question, because it might automatically find the proxy settings. [10:19] alright I typed GET / [10:19] no response [10:19] so "wget -O-" or "links2" might be a proper way to test. [10:19] and connection closed [10:20] So now what? [10:20] hmm [10:20] hmm [10:20] wget www.google.com -O- >/dev/null [10:21] I think you should get a lot of IPs starting with 173.194. [10:21] What am I looking for? [10:21] It connected to a few IPs [10:21] hm, i'd not redirect it to /dev/null but let it spit the stuff into the terminal and check whether the page looks indeed like google's. [10:22] "Resolving www.google.com (www.google.com)... 173.194.34.210" [10:22] hey guys, requesting some financial support for #AncientBeast (www.AncientBeast.com), it's foss/creative commons/gpl, PvP TBS from the browser (HoMM3 style); spare change goes a long way [10:22] cousteau: Yeah [10:22] It's been resolving to a few IPs [10:23] all of them beginning with 172.194 [10:23] DreadKnight, that is considered spam this is ubuntu support [10:23] 173* [10:23] do you get that IP? or some other IPs beginning with 173.194? [10:23] ok then [10:23] wilee-nilee, thanks; sorry, posted in offtopic [10:23] well. the IPs don't really matter if the network interceps that. [10:23] so one has to look at the actual output of the wget. === MartinS is now known as MartinS-afk [10:24] what about using https on firefox to check if the certificate is valid? [10:24] hi, have anyone here run eggdrop under 12.04? I missing some .tcl files where can i find it? [10:24] Uh OK [10:24] Wait what do you mean [10:24] probably possible. but adding more layers of complexity to investigate an issue is often not helpful [10:24] I connect to Google using HTTPS? [10:24] A [10:24] have you tried ping? [10:25] Ping google? [10:25] yeah [10:25] It works [10:25] Qasaur: just remove the "> /dev/null" and scan your terminal for google's page.

Does the wget get you anything at all then..? [10:30] What do you mean? [10:30] Should I wget a random file? [10:30] do "wget google.com" [10:30] and what's your problem anyway? :D I didn't relly read what you were trying to do and what the issue was anyway. [10:31] muelli: from what i can tell, internet works on firefox, and nothing else [10:31] muelli: I couldn't download anything from the repositories [10:31] Qasaur: how do you know?

[10:31] it'll tell you if it tries to get redirected or anything [10:31] What am I looking for here? I did wget google.com [10:32] what was the output [10:32] Should I pastebin it? [10:32] sure [10:33] http://pastebin.com/iNBqrTb2 [10:33] The output ^ [10:33] i've added this repo https://launchpad.net/~bjori/+archive/php5 but from apt-cache showpkg i can't see the version of that package, doing a apt-get source php5 it downloads that source..what's wrong?

[10:40] anything really [10:40] KM0201: any information (link) on the LO encryption?

We're trying to netboot precise, but the via driver seems to set something on the card causing it to stop working until a cold boot [13:12] shaneo: maybe you deleted something from external drives like usb and didn`t empty your folder on some occassions this could cause this problem [13:12] has anyone on ubuntu found a good app which syncs with google drive yet? === proka_ is now known as proka [13:13] grainne, your right was deleting external data so how do i get it to resolve the issue [13:13] steveccc: You mean other than gmount?

How can I go about finding it and deleting it or fixing it so it doesn't use 75% of my hardrive?

[13:24] I tried installing it, and it worked, but I don't know how to get rid of Gnome - and when I tried doing "sudo apt-get autoremove gnome-*" it borked my system [13:24] ok... well i'll be back after the reinvention... thnx shaneo [13:24] BlueEagle: thats what was suggested to me [13:24] crooper, np [13:24] !purexfce | APoulos [13:24] APoulos: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [13:24] anyone got experience with rsync and nfs mount?

If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [13:25] APoulos: Unlike Windows, extra applications rarely require extra resources when they are not running. As such leaving Gnome is a viable option. If you want to remove it then !purexfce is the way to go. [13:25] auronandace: see, this the problem with your IRC bot commands, half the time you're just guessing what I'm looking for, not even bothering to listen properly to what Im asking [13:25] Hi all [13:25] shaneo: usually you could resolve this issue with a reboot [13:25] compdoc: everythime I run this command... rsync copies everything over... not just the differences. [13:26] hroi, differences? what command you using? [13:26] BlueEagle: the issue is that, I want to know how to get rid of certain desktop environments [13:26] grainne, reboots unencrypt the hdd ? [13:26] I'm would like autohide on unity 2D. I tried this: apt-get install dconf-tools. Then run "dconf-editor", navigate to com > canonical > unity-2d > launcher and set "hide-mode" to "2". [13:26] But that not works.. [13:26] Any idea?

Can you login graphically if you type blindly? [13:27] how do you upgrade octave to version 3.6 [13:27] APoulos: if you just wanted xfce then install xubuntu, why install ubuntu if you are just going to remove gnome and unity later? [13:27] compdoc: just plain rsync [13:27] APoulos: If you uninstall Gnome-desktop (with dependencies) and then install Xubuntu-desktop you should be quite close to what you get on a Xubuntu installation. [13:27] jrib, yep, sys is usable, typing blind works for login === 15SABQU9M is now known as openvoid_ [13:28] hroi, I mean you want it to copy only the changed files, and not copy existing files? [13:28] compdoc: yes. [13:28] flashingpumpkin: a few years ago there was a bug in the nvidia driver that caused my laptop to boot black screen because it tried to use the external display (which wasn't present) by default. Could be something similar [13:28] is that the problem? [13:28] !purexfce | APoulos [13:28] APoulos: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [13:28] compdoc: according to the man pages... default behaviour of rsync is to copy only changes [13:28] auronandace BlueEagle im not sure I want to install xfce - I want to know of other options other lightweight desktop environments that don't require a change in distros [13:28] flashingpumpkin, jrib, Icehawk, ubottu , hroi how to upgrade octave3.2 to octave3.6 [13:28] ok [13:28] adhikari: I don't know [13:28] jrib, plugging in an external monitor works. How did you fix it, custom xorg.conf? [13:28] iceroot: he already complained to me for showing that factoid [13:29] auronandace: ok [13:29] next time one of you uses ubottu on me, im dipping out [13:29] I have a networking problem on ubuntu 11.10 with my school network. When I boot up, it connects perfectly automatically, then works for about ten minutes, then disconnects. I don't have this problem with windows and with no other connection [13:29] APoulos: i dont get what you want [13:29] APoulos: It's not as much a change in distro as it is removing gnome and installing XFCE4. Ubuntu and Xubuntu are identical bar the front end. [13:29] APoulos: use a usefull questions with details [13:29] hroi: do you know if there is a way to use rsync where the files may be in different directories - ie retrieve files from this drive and copy them over only if I dont have them? [13:29] flashingpumpkin: there was an option, yeah. Let me see if I can find it [13:29] shaneo: sry i am not able to read all at the moment, was related to the "trash" issue not encryption [13:30] Hi. Question: can anyone tell me - is the printer driver for the Kodak C310 printer I found (and very easily installed) in Ubuntu 12.10 from CUPS - or Ubuntu? [13:30] APoulos, badabum , BlueEagle, grainne, stan47 how to upgrade octave3.2 to octave3.6 [13:30] APoulos: like BlueEagle said, it is more advisable to refrain from removing desktops after the fact [13:30] adhikari: Why are you asking me? [13:30] grainne, lol oh sorry yeah that does usually work i just hate rebooting all the time as this is a regular thing [13:30] steveccc: rsync -Ra sourcepath/ destpath/ [13:30] steveccc: the "R" will go into all subdirectories of sourcepath [13:31] APoulos: if you wanted to try them out then install them and chose them from lightdm [13:31] hroi, i use a command like this: rsync -avn --del --progress --ignore-existing localdir nfsmountdir [13:31] adhikari: But the answer is: sudo apt-get upgrade octave [13:31] from to [13:31] APoulos: there is: unity, gnome3, xfce, lxde, enlightenment [13:31] APoulos: kde4 too [13:31] flashingpumpkin: this was my issue: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Screen_Blanks.2BAC8-Monitor_Turns_Off [13:31] auronandace: Don't forget IceWM. [13:32] ...or the *step family [13:32] BlueEagle, I thought you are the genius === fernando is now known as Guest93736 [13:32] adhikari: No, you would want someone else for that. :) [13:32] flashingpumpkin: I doubt that will actually help you, but it might give you another thing to think about [13:33] adhikari: no idea. any idea on my network thing? [13:33] I have a networking problem on ubuntu 11.10 with my school network. When I boot up, it connects perfectly automatically, then works for about ten minutes, then disconnects. I don't have this problem with windows and with no other connection [13:33] iceroot, auronandace BlueEagle - I apologize for my behavior towards the ubottu bot situation, I guess what I'm mainly wondering is what is the lightest I can use on my Ubuntu distro? I dont want to have to change distros or anything, and my other question is how does one remove a desktop environment without it ruining the rest of the system? [13:33] hroi:will that ignore the directory structure though - ie if file a is contained in NEWDRIVE/file and the one on the other drive is OLDDRIVE/randomdirectory/file then will it know to only copy file over to the newdrive if its not already on there (even though its in a different directory) [13:33] APoulos: lubuntu/lxde [13:33] APoulos: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [13:33] APoulos: and how to remove another desktop was shown to you with !purexfce and so on [13:33] steveccc: no it wont... it will have to be in same directory tree. [13:34] badabum, probably you want to install samba for that === Chris_ is now known as Guest34262 [13:34] APoulos: the thing is removing desktops tends to remove many dependencies, which is what breaks your system (hence BlueEagle advised you not to remove them) [13:34] APoulos: but you can install lubuntu and still have unity [13:34] APoulos: I think you've misunderstood the concept here. The different distros are basically the same distro but with different front ends (bar edubuntu). All the back end stuff is the same in all distros so they are freely interchangable. [13:34] steveccc: there may well be an option for collapsing the tree, i dont know. [13:34] hroi: that was my question - is there anything you can do to ignore the structure - either with rsync or another tool [13:34] APoulos: lxde is the lightest full desktop environment [13:34] anyone can help me with autohide left bar in unity 2D on Ubuntu 12.4? [13:34] iceroot: right, but I'm not talking about xfce - im talking in general [13:34] jrib, thanks. I'm not on NVIDIA but it's a good hint. I'll investigate later when back at the machine. [13:35] badabum, maybe you are with ubuntu 12.04 . you would need better version to interface network. [13:35] BlueEagle: yes, Im a little bit ignorant on the topic of desktop environments [13:35] badabum, make your upgrade of the system updates [13:35] APoulos: the commands we showd you are for gnome, kde, xfce, lxde [13:36] auronandace: well I mean what about all the random apps that get installed - I just don't want like 5-6 different environments and not sure how to the unnecessary ones [13:36] APoulos: I recommend you search for the virtual packages that end with desktop. They will show you the easiest way to install the major flavours. [13:36] APoulos: Apart from that you're looking at IceWM and the *step desktops. [13:37] BlueEagle: virtual packages? as in VM? or am I still misunderstanding [13:37] who here can help me out with a network issue involving ethernet -> bond -> bridge -> vlan subinterface? [13:37] Apoulos : The particularity of Ubuntu (on the contrary to Suse for example) is that when you install Guis, they merge together so you have have applications. The Guis are really up to the one using them and depend on what you want to do. Use LXDE/XFce for lighter GUIs but it will still depend on what applications you want to run ... I guess the best way to do that is to try either on virtuabox or Live desktop and see which best suits [13:37] your need then install the corresponding OS (XUbuntu, LUbuntu, ...). The base system will be the same anyway ... === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ [13:37] APoulos: the best thing i can advise is trying them all, find one you like then install that version on a fresh install (removing them afterward will give you headaches and wastes a lot of time) [13:37] hi, i can't get brightness to work on dell l702x, the OS understands i'm pressing the brightness button, but nothing happens, ideas? [13:37] adhikari: samba? what for? would that fix my connection issues? i doubt it [13:38] I agree with auronandace [13:38] APoulos: a vm is a great testing ground [13:38] APoulos: No, a virtual package is not a single piece of software but a pointer to one or more other packages. For example "Xubuntu-desktop" installs all the components to get a standard Xubuntu desktop. "KDE-Plasma-Desktop" installs the bare minimum needed to get a working KDE Plasma desktop. [13:38] yeah i did gave it a try [13:38] I have an issue with setting up a bridge vlan sub-interface on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) server that I am using for a KVM Host. The network is multi-layered with 2 NICs -> bond interface -> bridge interface -> bridge vlan sub-interface. The vlan subinterface on the bridge gets a random IP address on each reboot. I need the mac address to be inherited from the bond interface which is the only interface in the bridge at boot-up. Any takers? [13:39] i'm sorry, I made a mistake in the statement. The vlan subinterface gets a random MAC address on boot-up. Not a random IP address. [13:39] auronandace, BlueEagle , Joupi - ah alright I get it a little more now. Okay, so Xubuntu still uses the same market and what not as standard Ubuntu? [13:39] I have a networking problem on ubuntu 11.10 with my school network. When I boot up, it connects perfectly automatically, then works for about ten minutes, then disconnects. I don't have this problem with windows and with no other connection [13:40] APoulos: they all use the same repos, the desktop environment is just what it looks like (the front end) [13:40] I followed this process to upgrade kernel : http://pastebin.com/tQBq07KF [13:40] auronandace BlueEagle Joupi so say I wanted to install Gnome but not EVERY program that comes with it, what would I install? [13:40] After rebooting i am not able to login to server [13:40] APoulos: You want to install Gnome, but you don't want to install Gnome? [13:40] what's the command in terminal to know like banshee app is already close? ps -a | grep banshee? bet i'm wrong pls help thanx [13:40] s801, I never assign ip addresses to the bridge, or nic used for the bridge. And I think you can assign the mac address manually, no? === levlandau is now known as Guest15320 [13:41] APoulos: Or you want to install Gnome, but don't want to install Gnumeric? [13:41] BlueEagle: i think he wants to avoid the extra apps, like ubuntu-desktop would pull in [13:41] Apoulos, the system comes as in the install, if you need to install uninstall apps, you should do afterwards, else you need expert config at the beginning ... no easy. [13:41] The bond interface has 2 physical interfaces attached to it. the bond0 interface therefore can assume the IP address of either one depending on the situation. [13:42] BlueEagle, auronandace, Joupi : Well Gnome is what I'm used to, and until I can try the other DEs on a VM - I want to use Gnome but without all the extras that come with [13:42] I'd prefer to do fewer manual configurations here. [13:42] BlueEagle, auronandace, Joupi because I bloody hate Unity [13:42] APoulos: unity isn't that bad actually, but my favourite is still xfce [13:43] When I use brctl to create the bridge and then vconfig to create the subinterface the correct MAC address is selected i.e. the MAC address of the bond interface goes to the bridge interface which is what is used by the VLAN subinterface [13:43] APoulos: You are aware that you can select the legacy gnome desktop (ie. not unity) upon login without making any changes, right? [13:43] s801, personally, I think its crazy to use a bonded interface that way [13:43] Apoulos : Hahaha :p I understand you ... I personnaly swithed to Kubuntu, but if you don't like Unity, you can still login with Gnome fallback session which will bring you back to the "old" gnome that you know ... [13:43] When I use the /etc/network/interfaces file the MAC address is random [13:43] APoulos: gnome2 isn't available on 11.10 upwards [13:43] but gnome-fallback will not be provided forever - or am i wrong? [13:44] BlueEagle: yes, you mean like choose it from the login? [13:44] so i doubt focusing on gnome-fallback is a long-time solution [13:44] Unity will be the default in the futur yes, but still can use now [13:44] compdoc, I am trying to assign the bridge interface for KVM guests. As far as I can tell the only way to use the bond for both host and guest is to use a bridge interface. [13:44] Occasionally some of my program windows (in 12.04) seem to get 'lost' - they aren't shown in the unity launcher as running, and I can't alt-tab to them. But I know they are there, and they show up in running processes. Is there a solution? [13:44] I mean gnome fall back [13:45] APoulos: Yeah. Just select "Gnome Classic" and you're there. [13:45] Hi, I'm having an issue with 12.04 after upgrading - the login screen works, but all images are broken, and after logging in all I get is a black screen with the cursor [13:45] Baroque_Obama: Do you have read/write access to your home directory? [13:45] Question - I have a Toshiba Z835 ultrabook. When I boot up, all Fn keys work. If I suspend and resume, all Fn keys work except brightness. The bar moves as if it's working, but the actual brightness does not change. I've tried ACPI options in the grub config, but no dice. Has anybody found a solution to this problem? Using Intel i5 2nd gen graphics... [13:46] compdoc, what would you suggest for KVM host setup to allow guests to have access to a trunk interface while providing network redundancy for the host? [13:46] auronandace, auronandace BlueEagle - here's how I want to go about this, I want to install Gnome without all the extra programs it installs with it, and then until I feel safe enough to use other DEs from testing from VMs I want stick with Gnome - do you understand what I mean now? [13:46] roasted: it won't be I5 related, it will be that specific brand of motherboard and it's apci interface [13:46] sorry, meant to add Joupi to that post [13:46] roasted: it's not an uncommon fault for certain parts to not work after suspend [13:46] APoulos: gnome2 or 3? [13:46] I'm not sure (sorry, pretty new to ubuntu) [13:47] ikonia: I understand. There's even a bug report for it to get an "official" fix. I was aiming for finding a work around... perhaps something I can add in the grub config to change it? [13:47] APoulos: Then you want the alternate install CD and make a bare minimum server installation and from there install the package "gnome" [13:47] roasted: very very very doubtul [13:47] Apoulos, thet only way I see you succeed in what you want to install gnome-shell (v3) so you can use gnome still but new version ... Not sure it's the right way to go though since gnome 3 is different from gnome 2 and will be left over at some point anyway ... [13:47] roasted: if it works, then fails after suspend, it's normally a glitch in the code, rather than something that can be fixed with a setting [13:47] ikonia: well, that's a bummer. But the Z835/12.04 is still very new so I didn't really expect a fix today. :P [13:48] ikonia: but there again, some users in here have helped me with some very quirky fixes so I figured I'd try. [13:48] roasted: you're not alone in this sort of behaviour, people tend to have random things as you are doing now where $X works but $Y doesn't but it did work before suspend [13:48] APoulos: That should give you the bare minimum of packages installed. However unless you are running very very low on disk space I would recomend installing the DEs on your computer and then when you've found your flavour install that from scratch. === zenix` is now known as zenix`away === CoM|Disconn is now known as CoM`oFF|Disconn [13:50] APoulos: And should you end up with a DE that doesn't have its own distro flavour the procedure would be the same; a bare minimum + DE. [13:50] To anyone in charge of packaging, 'samba4' is alpha, and is shiped with a samba 3.6.3 config file that doesn't, and will never work. [13:50] maxiepax: Filed a bug about it? [13:51] jpds: am now. === ubuntu is now known as Guest96729 [13:52] i really can't get it working neither with xbacklight. [13:53] BlueEagle: I've only ever dealt with the GUI, so I'm not too familiar with command line access outside of opening terminal [13:54] Joupi, BlueEagle - I dont know if I want an alt install, I just want Gnome-Classic without all the extra packages that come with it [13:54] Heyas all. I try and avoid IRC because I like to figure stuff on my own, but htis has me bugged. No sound in 12.04. User is in group audio. As user, the only card available is 'dummy'. If sudo alsamixer, I can see the device, and none are muted. ANy ideas whta I'm doing incorrectly? [13:54] Joupi, BlueEagle like installing Gnome without getting programs like "cheese" and what not [13:54] Baroque_Obama: `ls -la` after opeing the terminal shouls show all the files in your home directory with permissions and owner. You want your name to be both the owner and group for all files and directories. [13:55] APoulos: If you only want gnome desktop with all the stuff that ubuntu-desktop throws in then you need to install the server version (ie GUI-less) and add the "Gnome" package. [13:56] APoulos: If you do not want to do that then you will need to manually create a list of all the packages that "ubuntu-desktop" contains that "gnome" does not contain and remove all of those. [13:57] has anyone set up a KVM host with bond, bridge, and vlan subinterface on the bridge? [13:57] Apoulos : Look like you want a personnal config out of the box ... sounds a little difficult to realize ... In the previous versions of Ubuntu, you did not have Unity ok, but still had the apps coming with gnome desktop ... [13:57] APoulos: Ofcourse some direct dependencies of "Gnome-Desktop" may be indirect dependencies of "Gnome" so you may still end up beraking your system. === Youri is now known as Iruoy [13:58] APoulos: if you know exactly what packages you want try the mini iso [13:58] !mini | APoulos [13:58] APoulos: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:58] APoulos: but that does mean you'd need to know what you want [13:59] APoulos: And if none of the above options suite your requirement the Ubuntu is not what you want to begin with I guess. [13:59] BlueEagle: is there a way to open terminal at/before the login screen? I can't get into the desktop to open terminal there [13:59] Baroque_Obama: CTRL+ALT+F1 should give you a text login. [14:02] BlueEagle, Joupi, auronandace alright, thanks for the help. [14:02] blueeagle: great, that worked. after logging in, I tried to run terminal, and it said it isn't currently installed. I'm installing it now, but I assume that's a bad sign? [14:02] I'm experiencing this problem (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/907462) with a couple of applications - they are not shown in Unity as running, or the alt-tab window switcher. Can anything be done? [14:02] Launchpad bug 907462 in compiz (Ubuntu) "scite doesn't show up as running on unity launcher, and is missing from the default alt-tab application switcher" [Undecided,Confirmed] [14:03] Baroque_Obama: You're already in a terminal. Why would you want to run another? [14:03] APoulos: Best of luck to you. === q0rban_ is now known as q0rban [14:05] blueeagle: because i'm dumb. sorry, ran the ls -la command, my name is owner and group for all files/directories [14:06] Hi, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 but after installing ubuntu, the system restarts and takes me straight to windows. I have tried reinstalling grub but no luck. How would I fix this? (the windows bootloader is located in /dev/sda1 while win7 sits on sda2 and ubuntu on sda6) [14:06] hi all. How can I configure my keyboard to use french characters (like Ä) on linux terminal (ctrl+alt+F1)? [14:07] tyteen4a03, are you sure that you've not set it staright to boot to windows [14:07] morsnowski: how would I check? I don't remember doing so [14:07] Baroque_Obama: Then that's not the reason you're not able to log in. [14:08] tyteen4a03: Did you install from an USB-drive? [14:08] BlueEagle: yes [14:09] tyteen4a03: Then odds are that Grub read it as HD(X) and X would be lower than the drive containing the MBR that you were aiming for. [14:09] tyteen4a03, look for the timeout in the grub.cfg [14:09] tyteen4a03: Try booting from the USB drive again and in the menu select "Boot from first harddrive" and see if that gives you the GRUB menu. [14:10] How come in Disk Utility, I have never been able to see "Available" disk space? doesn't matter what version i've used [14:10] alright, will try [14:10] I'm trying to figure out how much space I have left on my partitions? What might be the best way to do that? [14:10] Joshua_MG: loadkeys I guess. [14:11] designbybeck: df -h [14:11] designbybeck: you can just check available disk space when you open Nautilus [14:11] i have accidentally overwritten my delete-key with another short cut. can anybody tell me how to undo that? [14:11] how do I do that quixotedon ? [14:11] designbybeck, when in doubt.. use the command line. ;) [14:11] and Thanks for that BlueEagle that did work nicely.. gotta remember that one [14:11] designbybeck: when you go to Home folder, the status at the bottom of the window shows you the available disk space [14:12] hmm not on mine quixotedon [14:12] Nautilus is file explorer.. :) the icon is 'directory/folder' [14:12] magic_al: That depends on how you did it. xkeycaps will perhaps be able to help. [14:12] wouldent available disk space be space thats unallocated? while FILESYSTEM available space would be what df -h is showing... [14:12] oh gotta turn on status bar first [14:12] designbybeck: what version are you using now? [14:13] BlueEagle: i was up to change some short cuts via the Appearance/Keyboard setting, I wanted to change a shortcut and pressed on delete [14:13] Perfect! Thank you quixotedon BlueEagle Dr_willis you solved my problem! I will remember these and pass them along!! [14:13] I like my cats skinned multiple ways ;) [14:13] magic_al: then go back to that same window and remove delete as the short cut. [14:14] BlueEagle: exacly that is my problem: I can just overwrite it but not set it to nothing [14:14] designbybeck: it's written as "Free space: xx GB" :) [14:14] hello [14:14] why is it the download link of linux if SLOWWWWWWWWW [14:14] magic_al, the 'delete' button should delete it... [14:15] hotland, try the torrents perhaps? [14:15] blueeagle: is there some way for me to check what else might be causing this issue? The fact that I get broken image icons in the taskbar at the login screen makes me think something is very messed up - I just ran the upgrade from within 11.10 and had no issues there [14:15] ubuntu download link is slow any torrent? [14:15] !torrents | hotland [14:15] hotland: Precise can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/desktop/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/server/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 === Chell is now known as Effy [14:15] how can i make .iso file in ubuntu 10.04? [14:15] any official link for a torrent? [14:15] hotland: .torrent files exisit in every Ubuntu mirror [14:15] tons of torrents. :) [14:15] Dr_willis: thats what i thoght. but obviously it assigned it to the short-cut... [14:15] magic_al, the delete button here deleted the shortcut i jsut made.. [14:15] i cant see torrent link at ubuntu.com/download [14:16] Dr_willis: well how was i even able to asign it i wonder :P [14:16] magic_al: Then read the manual. If that doesn't explain how to do it, set it to a key you never use. [14:16] hotland: and you don't see the URLs the bot gave you 30 seconds ago? [14:16] hotland: it depends on the internet speed in your place and the upgrade/download request, as in my experience, it took more than 12 hours on a less than 50KB/s speed [14:16] let me scroll it [14:17] magic_al, add new, select the shortcit at the left.. select key field.. hit 'delete' [14:17] has anyone set up a KVM host with bond, bridge, and vlan subinterface on the bridge? [14:17] i just made a shortcut for the delete key. then used the delete button under 'add new' to delete it. [14:17] magic_al: Actually I found a screen shot of "Keyboard Shortcuts" window and below the list it reads "...or press backspace to clear". Does that work for you? [14:17] Boot from first HDD didn't solve the problem (if that matters, Windows Bootloader, Windows and Ubuntu sits on the same ssd) [14:18] one more thing [14:18] magic_al: That's a screenie from 2007 mind you and it might no longer apply. :) [14:18] actually - ive been editing the xchat shortcuts.. heh.. :) [14:19] i saw a ubuntu at my school and it has a built loader for boot selection of os did ubuntu made that one? [14:19] ok i am fine i assigned a comibination I would never use.. [14:19] thanks all [14:19] BlueEagle: Thanks [14:19] once i open the terminal it ask if i boot up windows or ubuntu [14:19] Joshua_MG: You're welcome. [14:19] hotland: yes, that's the grub bootloader [14:20] its built in with ubuntu [14:20] hotland: grub is developed seperately [14:20] hmm. do delete the shortcut. you select it.. and clear both fields.. and it vanishes [14:20] backspace does not remove it here. [14:20] so i need to download it manualy? [14:21] !grub [14:21] hotland: no, usually ubuntu installs it for you [14:21] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

However the maintainability makes it nice for getting a general idea of what Ubuntu is about. [14:24] can I install two different glibs on my ubuntu? [14:24] hotland: wubi is more of a try before you dive in, even then i'd rather use a vm [14:25] id reccomend just playing with Ubuntu inside virtualbox. instead of using Wubi. :) but virtualbox is worth playing with in any case [14:25] Pici> i dont' speak french sorry [14:26] Dr_willis: Wouldn't you take a bigger performance hit runnign a full machine virtualization?

As for Corel, that is a windows application, is it not? [14:33] BlueEagle, corel was one of the earlier office suites to have a linux port [14:33] princethakur: pidgin and empathy are instant messenger clients that can handle many protocols (including yahoo) [14:33] yes that i windows application [14:33] but can ubuntu team convert that for Ubuntu ?

[14:40] princethakur you have to know channel you want to join, we don't know what you want [14:40] thattechguy: That would depend on your MTA but usually you would want to disable mbox [14:40] how to list all chanel ?

[14:52] !primary [14:53] hotland, 'backtrack linux' is not 'ubuntu' [14:53] hotland, and most every linux disrto out there installs grub, or some sort of bootloader for dual booting.

[14:54] but the syntax is same if im not wrong [14:54] hotland, backtrack is not supported here [14:55] !backtrack | hotland [14:55] hotland: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[14:55] hotland, /join #backtrack-linux for backtrack support [14:55] mi3 I think its got to do with suid and guid bits [14:55] mi3, how are you shutting it down from the terminal? [14:55] so… Apparently GRUB hangs on the menu if no screen is attached… this is stopping my VM from starting headless [14:55] anyone got any idea how to fix that? [14:55] okay i will try to consult on backtrack chat [14:55] Dr_willis, sudo shutdown -h now [14:56] mi3, you can edit the sudoers file to allow that without a password. [14:56] Dr_willis, I dont think thats a good idea to do that [14:56] Dr_willis, never ventured that deep before... [14:56] dont you think thats a tad dangerous? [14:57] lanceio, depends on what his setup. [14:57] compared to stuff ive seen other users do in here... :) its not as badd as some things.

[14:58] lanceio, err I want a simple bash script that can be invoked after the transmission downloads have completed, Dr_willis so, the shutdown command should work there, thats all I want :D [14:59] Dr_willis, im not sure of the syntax, let me check, its got to do with SUID and GUID bits. it allows normal users to execute a root's bin file [14:59] lanceio, using the suid bit is a MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger security hole then using the sudoers file/method. [14:59] hmm [14:59] I'll take that as a no. lastly, why can't i right-click the gnome panel in precise? [14:59] i cant start windows [14:59] Dr_willis, since I dont know much about that, im going to assume you are right (Y) [14:59] mi3, I thought transmission had that feature. but i havent really tried it lately. [15:00] Dr_willis, need ya help on 64 bit ubuntu [15:00] mi3, you can set up the sudoers file to allow only that one user to use shutdown without a password.

[15:01] join #freeradius [15:01] Dr_willis, I would very much like transmission to execute a script file, and shutdown the pc after the downloads were complete, what will be good suggestion? === quixotedon is now known as donnyqiu [15:01] Dr_willis: I'm working from memory, so I don't know [15:01] Dr_willis: but I think you are right that it can do it from within the application, so there is no need for a script === donnyqiu is now known as quixotedon [15:01] Dr_willis, need ya help on 64 bit ubuntu [15:01] mi3, its possible it has that feature. ive not used it in ages. [15:02] Dr_willis, ikonia transmission is a file sharing app [15:02] ubuntu_64bit, ask the question to the channel and see who answers. [15:02] mi3: I know what it is [15:02] !ask| ubuntu_64bit [15:02] ubuntu_64bit: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [15:02] ikonia, what does the shell[or whatever you guys are talking about] have to do with this? can you suggest? [15:03] mi3: I think Dr_willis is correct in that you can tell transmision to shutdown, you don't need a script to shutdown the machine, transmision can shut it down for you [15:03] transmission also has a web interface. :) but i normally use other torrent clients. [15:03] Dr_willis, difference betwwen 32 bit and 64 bit operating system [15:03] ubuntu_64bit, the # of bits.. [15:03] i cant connect at backtrack so i will stay here first [15:03] btw [15:03] Dr_willis: ah, the web interface maybe what uses the non-shell enabled user [15:04] when i try to start linux i got this error ALERT! /dev/mapper/isw_eefggigcd_Volume0p7 does not exist [15:04] hotland: #backtrack-linux is the channel to use [15:04] http://lifehacker.com/5431284/the-lifehacker-guide-to-64+bit-vs-32+bit-operating-systems [15:04] hotland: You need to register to speak there. [15:04] is it advisable to instal a mac theme on ubuntu [15:04] and load a initframfs shell [15:04] !register > hotland [15:04] hotland, please see my private message [15:04] MonkeyDust, difference betwwen 32 bit and 64 bit operating system [15:04] hotland: We will NOT support backtrack here. [15:04] ikonia, I dont have that option, I guess, there is only an option to execute a script file or something, I have tried that, then I downloaded some apps, then when the script was executed, it said permission denied[the script contained shutdown command] :D [15:04] hotland, if you have to ask such things.. I think Backtrack is NOT the disrto for you to be using.. [15:04] im not asking about backtrack here [15:04] ubuntu_64bit if you have 64bit hardware, you can use ubuntu 64bit [15:05] hotland: Its competely up to you what themes you want to use. [15:05] ubuntu_64bit, http://lifehacker.com/5431284/the-lifehacker-guide-to-64+bit-vs-32+bit-operating-systems [15:05] so it wont slow down ubuntu if i did it [15:05] how come lsusb shows my negatives scanner and xsane cant find it? [15:05] mi3: I'd certainly check for the auto shutdown option, I agree with Dr_willis that there is one [15:05] hotland, if you are refering to that 'macbuntu' theme/script.. DONT use it. [15:05] why [15:05] lotuspsychje: xsane might lack drivers for it. try vuescan. [15:05] ikonia, i dont see it in transmission. but i may be overlooking it. [15:05] i think thats the one i saw on youtube [15:05] ikonia, I will forward the screenshot of the preferences window of transmission [15:05] hotland, macbuntu = breaks your system. [15:05] Dr_willis: not got it here to check [15:06] lol,why [15:06] mi3: don't need a screenshot, if you say it's not there, I'll not doubt you [15:06] as i see it just modified the icons [15:06] MonkeyDust, what are the hardwares that are capable of handling 64bit [15:06] hotland, macbuntu = breaks your system.... im not going to trouble shoot it... [15:06] ikonia, err ok [15:06] monotux: i tryed vuescan, same problem it cant find the scanner [15:06] have you tried it before? [15:06] hotland, no it does not.. and its known to break a lot of things.. and i dont even think it works in 12.04 any more [15:07] oh [15:07] ubuntu_64bit type lshw|less to find out what hardware you have --nowadays, most pcs are 64bit capable [15:07] monotux: its a grundig digital filmscanner(for negatives) cant find any drivers for it [15:07] but i i like the default wallpaper of 12 [15:07] lotuspsychje: in that case, i'm guessing for scanner is too old even for vuescan or broken [15:07] color pink if thats the color im not good at color [15:07] Dr_willis, so the best suggestion is modifying the sudoers file, right? [15:07] lotuspsychje: vuescan usually handles any scanner launched since the 90-ies [15:07] monotux:its a brand new bought hardware [15:07] oh [15:08] in that case it's too new :) [15:08] lol [15:08] what scanner is it? [15:08] btw can i ask u guys why you use ubuntu? [15:08] mi3, sudores file will let a single user, run specific apps as root without needing a password. if set up properly [15:08] monotux:grundig digital filmscanner [15:08] hotland: macbuntu doesn't work in 12.04. [15:08] hotland, inn #ubuntu-offtopic [15:08] for me ubuntu is much faster than other os [15:08] ow [15:08] macbuntu barely worked... ever... [15:08] sorry [15:08] lotuspsychje: oh, you're a photographer? [15:08] monotux:not yet mate :p if i get it working [15:08] heh :) [15:08] Dr_willis, ok.. :D I will find out how to use and modify the sudoers file :D === mindlord_ is now known as mindlord [15:09] i'm using an old minolta scan dual for my negatives === Youri is now known as Iruoy [15:09] works wonders with vuescan [15:09] monotux: did you have to install drivers for it? [15:09] mi3, there are some tools to controll transmission from your cellphone if you wanted to go that way. :) [15:09] now I only need a medium format scanner as well :( [15:09] lotuspsychje: i'm using vuescan, it's plug'n'pray...play [15:09] lol [15:10] oh well, time to go to the lab and do some actual work [15:10] bbl [15:10] monotux: i also tryed it 64bit but scan button didnt work for me [15:10] Dr_willis, I dont use GPRS every now and then [the operator is a little hopeless, likes to make money without asking] [15:10] lol [15:10] I have a trackball that needs a few xinput commands to configure just how I like it. How best to make these permanent on a system-wide basis? Should I edit something in /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/? [15:10] MonkeyDust wait i will give you the link from the patsebin === OY1R_ is now known as oy1r === ludkiller|AFK is now known as ludkiller [15:11] any other ideas howto grab scan images from my negative scanner (shows in lsusb) [15:11] well, thanks anyway. [15:12] lotuspsychje, gimp had a aquire feature i thought. [15:12] lotuspsychje, but it most likely uses the SANE drivers. [15:12] Dr_willis: i also tryed the scan function with gimp, didnt work [15:12] sounds unsuported to me. :() [15:12] Dr_willis: is it normal a device shows up in lsusb and still dont work? [15:13] I have a ps/2 keyboard I cut the connector and attached a usb connector, how do I make it work now? [15:13] lanceio: you're kidding, right? [15:13] gimp scan need sane as a back end [15:13] lanceio: you can boot it from BIOS [15:13] I wanted to see if a ps/2 port would float [15:13] ktchk: got other ideas? [15:14] lotuspsychje, err.. just because lsusb sees it.. doesnet mean the drivers exist to support it... [15:14] lotuspsychje: No, have a Samsung printer that has no driver that shows up in the lsusb ,but doesnt function need a hp printer! :( [15:14] Dr_willis:oh okay [15:14] lsusb just scans the usb ports and prints out the id info each device gives. [15:14] MonkeyDust, http://paste.ubuntu.com/987288/ then tell me how could i detect that if its ya 64bit [15:14] lotuspsychje, can you expand? [15:14] lotuspsychje: install sane and gimp can call the scanner up [15:14] anything will float, given enough boyancy [15:14] ktchk: gimp doesnt show device, already tryed [15:14] id check the sane homepage, and the forums and askubuntu.com to see about that scanner. [15:15] Dr_willis: ok tnx mate [15:15] ubuntu_64bit line 62: width 64bits, looks ok [15:15] MoTec, turns out it didnt [15:15] buoyancy* [15:15] Hi, Q: Are gnome 2 themes compatible with MATE?

[15:17] lotuspsychje: lsusb will gladly identify devices for which no Linux driver exists. [15:17] MonkeyDust, line 22 is this width: 64 bits [15:18] to use any scanner.. i thought sane was needed... [15:18] !yay| ubuntu_64bit [15:18] ubuntu_64bit: Glad you made it! :-) [15:18] lotuspsychje: callup xsane in terminal will see your scanner [15:18] whats the difference between lsusb and dmesg? [15:18] MonkeyDust, is it possible for my machine to run 64bit os [15:18] #test [15:18] hi [15:18] dmesg is a log that can show errors and sucess [15:18] ktchk: didnt show up my device on xsane, lemme try install sane [15:19] ubuntu_64bit computer says yes [15:19] MonkeyDust, let me try [15:19] i have a question about bumblebee, does intel core 2 duo cpu t6600 include an onboard GPU. the easynote tj65 laptop comes with a discrete nvidia but the fans are noisy so i would like to either underclock the cpu or disable the nvidia gpu [15:20] MonkeyDust, let me try [15:20] lotuspsychje: try simple-scan [15:21] ok [15:21] brb gonna eat first [15:21] Ubuntu #rocks :P [15:21] ** (simple-scan:4441): WARNING **: scanner.vala:771: No scan device available [15:22] bbl [15:24] Justin Bieber sucks and whoever likes it is either a slut or a faggot.

[15:28] MonkeyDust: i dont know... i only want my laptop to be not noisy [15:29] is there a command to check if i have an onboard gpu? [15:29] intel core 2 duo t6600 laptop [15:29] in the laptop [15:29] thanks for any help [15:29] in advance [15:29] Guest55496 guess you've come to the wrong place, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:29] ok thanks [15:31] Guest55496: I do believe the i3, i5 and i7s are the only ones with integrated GPUs and that the C2Ds only had external GPUs. Then again I would think Intel used their own GPUs instead of building in nVidia technology,. [15:32] BlueEagle: i don;t think Intel makes an APU. i think all GPUs are discrete chipsets on Intel hardware. [15:32] * mneptok does not follow such things closely [15:32] BlueEagle: i have the nvidia gt240m and want to disable it and use the onboard gpu because the laptop is noisy [15:33] mneptok: So thought I but Google indicate otherwise. [15:33] Guest55496: if you have multiple GPUs, switching is usually done with a hardware switch, a BIOS setting, and/or custom control panels for Windows. [15:33] mneptok: how can i tell if i have dual gpus? [15:34] i reallz dont know if the core 2 duo t6600 has an onboard gpu [15:34] really [15:34] Guest55496: do you have a hardware switch, a BIOS setting, or a custom Windows control panel? [15:34] Guest55496: The motherboard specs would probably tell you so the vendor web pages is a less wrong place to ask. [15:34] didnt find it in bios, no hardware switch [15:34] Guest55496: then you probably do not. [15:34] try lspci | grep VGA [15:35] if it sow two, there are two of them [15:35] only one [15:35] hmm [15:35] the laptop is so noisy [15:35] if not it means nothing [15:35] in windows too [15:35] it can be disabled in bios [15:36] ok i look there again [15:36] thanks [15:36] bye [15:38] hi [15:38] Can anyone help me how to set my keyboard to my belgian period one from cli?

[15:40] !lubuntu | cheryl [15:40] cheryl: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [15:40] I'm so frustrated!! [15:40] cheryl: choose Xubuntu or some other lighter derivative. [15:40] cheryl not good enough?

[15:48] haruband: It has not been decided yet. [15:48] cousteau: i doubt it [15:48] auronandace, I have 10.10 at home and I'm still able to install stuff [15:48] or at least was a few days ago [15:49] can i get postfix to clear the queue after a certain age? [15:49] auronandace, Yeah, that sounds right...so now what?? :) I use a Three mobile b/band dongle that I've finally managed 2 get working fairly easily......doubt xubuntu or lubuntu will support it?? [15:49] or clear messages from the queue once they reach a certain age I should say [15:49] cousteau: you swapped the repos to oldreleases? [15:49] auronandace, was I meant to do somming with the pastebin thingy? lol [15:49] 10.04 server can last for another 2 years with updates [15:49] no matter what I do Gimp will not open, it crashes anytime i try to run it.

AFAIK [15:49] I want to capture the desktop so I can create a guide [15:50] wifioregon try kazam [15:50] thanks [15:50] REK_007, both use NetworkManager, so yes [15:50] auronandace, okay, I'll try lubuntu then, what is AFAIK? [15:50] cousteau: don't count on it staying there, it could be repurposed since 10.10 is eol [15:50] MonkeyDust: I'll try Kazam thanks. INstalling now [15:50] cheryl: as far as i know [15:50] auronandace, I know, I'm in the mood of upgrading [15:50] actually I'm testing xubuntu 12.04 on this computer [15:51] auronandace, DOH!! Thank you. lol [15:51] cheryl: cheryl lubuntu uses the same repos [15:51] cheryl: As Far As I Know [15:51] auronandace, cool, I'll be back if there's trouble, I have irc on my android too now! lol [15:51] cheryl: if your dongle works in ubuntu it should in lubuntu, the underlying system is the same [15:51] wifioregon: if kazam doesn't work for you try xvidcap [15:52] auronandace, Cool banana's, thanks. I'll be back, no doubt. ttfn. [15:52] cousteau: xfce is my favourite but i've been pleasantly surprised by unity [15:52] cheryl: have fun [15:52] what bout that kiss [15:52] auronandace, do I want 64 bit??? [15:53] cheryl: if your system is 64bit capable [15:53] anil, you perve!! lol [15:53] slightly ubuntu related: what does one use for command-line audio re-encoding/resampling for audio material with more than 2 (even more than 8 ) channels? Since ffmpeg is not designed for that .. [15:53] :_) [15:53] auronandace, How do I know/find out? [15:53] auronandace, I got annoyed by the way alt-tab and dash work and intimidated by the amount of resources my 64 MB video card would probably not be able to supply, so I decided to give xfce a try [15:53] rar:xvidcap is dead on precise, kazam is the best [15:53] Hey guys.

[17:38] hceylan: certainly with that one [17:38] polandeer-->> i have try..not working [17:39] hceylan: i don't know if you can disable it or not [17:39] can anyone explain what "debconf-set-selections" is for? everything I've read so far just confuses me more. [17:39] Too bad!, I making smal changes and try to see the difference. But the dynamic clocking drives me nuts [17:39] Wade: Not sure then. I'm on a desktop :P [17:40] =)thanks ..

But for some reason it does not work [17:42] wolfcore: in case you do, i can open a gnome-terminal through ssh _X [17:42] it seems to set it to 'performance' /the highest clock rate). but in pratice it does not...

[17:44] should i still run 'stop'? [17:44] How can I find out why Base is rejecting my entry data with a '/' in the entry? Shouldn't I be able to change the data type and make it work?

There is a hardware switch, but this will also kill the wifi, so I need some other options. Thanks in advance.

[18:11] i've never heard of 'apt-get' source' [18:11] ceti331_: build-dep does get the build dependencies, but not the source [18:11] ceti331_: build-dep is useful when actually rebuilding the source though [18:12] hi need help with apache server [18:12] ceti331_: 'man apt-get' ;) Apt can do lots of handy things [18:12] apt-get is awesome i miss it on windows & mac [18:12] for unity's source code "apt-get source unity"?

It comes up as primary on other systems but on my laptop I can't just begin typing "Pictures" to go into pictures, I have to click to enable it as the primary, and then type pictures, etc. [19:12] wylde: Then if I install the operating system onto a usb drive then it'll behave like it's installed on your PC?

Just perhaps [19:13] files [19:13] you can get skype from the website as well dude [19:14] LinuX2half: To explain, you basically do the "dual boot" installation, so the OS is installed entirely on your hard disk. The only thing you install to the usb key/pendrive is the bootloader "Grub". That way, without the usb device plugged in the original OS will boot without showing grub.

[19:19] reynir: I have tried DISPLAY=":0", and it does not work. [19:20] hpsd: My guess is that if windows is on the other end that will be the bottleneck. Either that or running over a wireless link. [19:21] reCAPTCHA: I am not sure X allows you to do that with default configuration in ubuntu. Sorry, I cannot help you further [19:21] BlueEagle, for now its a desktop precise. I want to set a homeserver, my network is gigabit via a 1043nd router on dd-wrt (maybe in the future migrate the dhcp to the server and use it only as a wi-fi ap) [19:22] BlueEagle, i get around 7-10 MB/s which seems slow to me [19:22] Why Blue tooth is always ON in 12.04 ?!

[21:13] Okay, I have a macbook pro 13 inch late 2011 and my wireless is not working... anyone know the drivers needed? ubuntu is not able to find them through the additional drivers program [21:14] BluEagle, thanks for the suggestions, internet quit so i wasn't able to reply. the lines before the kernel panic don't seem to be the same. the only consitency is "kernel logging closed" [21:14] peri_ there is no separate cd /dvd with additional drivers. install the regular one , and open the "additional drivers" app to install it [21:14] ZaNeIuM: You could probably watch process activity with `top` [21:14] Sheldon420: it is not able to find them [21:14] or htop [21:14] peri_ what is the output of "ifconfig" and "iwconfig" [21:15] lafon: Well if there is no pattern then there is not one given kernel activity that causes it.

Also, do you have an exotic graphics card? [22:01] i have an ati 4850 [22:01] 4890* === Gilgamesh is now known as Guest22270 [22:03] chsados, Check the md5 hash and see it if matches. Most likely a corrupt iso file. [22:03] chsados, If not, something to do with the graphics drivers. We'll have to figure that out after the hash check. [22:03] sheldon420 shamelessly i dont know how to do that im heading to the site to find out how [22:04] can i use the windows installer to install onto a thumb drive? [22:04] chsados, Cool. It's pretty simple. Navigate to the folder where the iso file is, type "md5sum " and compare the result with the one on ubuntu's website [22:04] greetings [22:04] im in windows currently i do that in command window? [22:05] chsados: you use unetbootin to install the image to a USB drive. installing Ubuntu directly to a thumbdrive *can* be done, but it has its limitations [22:05] chsados, Oh, that command works in Linux. Not sure about Windows, a Google search will tell you. [22:06] chsados, there should be some sort of software -- fastsum etc [22:06] so you recommend installing ubuntu on an actuall HDD? I have an empty 500gb internal HD i could put it on instead i guess [22:07] chsados, If that's what you want, yes. [22:07] I require assisstance. [22:08] ok sorry for the loaded questions...but can i use the windows installer to install it to my 500gb internal HDD or is the windows installer more like a virtual installation within windows?

[22:13] chsados: I guess the easiest would be an usb stick with integrated encryption, maybe [22:13] oke [22:13] As far as I know, it is not possible (or at least not easily possible) to encrypt a whole usb stick AND run ubuntu on it. [22:13] sensitive would be my gpg keys, banking info, bitcoin wallet etc [22:13] At least, it is less trivial than just encrypting a usb stick and using it for ONLY data, not to run an OS. [22:14] Which is what I'd recommend for what you are wanting to do... [22:14] lion42 thats why i shall install ubuntu on internal HDD and use a usb stick as encrypted persisent volume [22:14] :/ [22:14] chsados, oh, okay.

I want to rent out a game server on my server but, dont want them to have full access to all my files via ftp [22:14] Am I being ignored?

[22:16] krababbel i was thinking just using trucrypt [22:16] for the usb [22:16] i was going to suggest trucrypt actually [22:16] dragpyre, you're not being ignored, but there's a lot of people here and many of them might not know the answer to your question. What I would recommend you do is to FIRST try reformatting the USB stick and reinstalling ubuntu again, and then using it again. If that doesn't work, try downloading a new and fresh copy of ubuntu. That usually resolves the problem. [22:16] chsados, that would make much more sense. [22:16] I've tried it three tie [22:16] *times and it does the same thing [22:16] dragpyre, did you try a new copy of ubuntu? [22:17] chsados: don't know if ubuntu supports it, those sticks may be easier, depends on your situation :) [22:17] Yes, I downloaded a fresh copy. [22:17] I'm using a Kingston Data Traveller 101 [22:17] chsados: ubuntu setup shows an encrypted home option I think, never used it [22:17] try a different usb stick? [22:17] dragpyre, and are you sure you are completely deleting the contents of the drive when you are telling your usb creator to put the iso on it? [22:17] I've been having problems installing 12.04 server on a scsi raid 5 array (i've never installed on scsi or raid before). I've been able to install just fine, but upon reboot no boot loader is found. Any suggestions? I selected whatever the default was for installing grub. [22:17] Or what e2b04836, yes.

What I would suggest at this point will produce the least headache is to try a new usb stick, install using the pendrivelinux program, and follow the instructions on the ubuntu website as to how to use it. That should work. [22:23] rbenv fails on ree-* installs on ubuntu 64 server 12.04: http://pastebin.com/E5P3yLM4 [22:24] hmm.. would using the AMD64 iso make a difference? [22:24] im going to redownload the ISO just to be safe..... is it recommended to get the 64bit version if my CPU has the capabilities? [22:24] Sorry. My first assertion was incomplete. [22:24] cause that's what I'm using now. [22:24] hello, anyone can give ideas from where to start dns debugging on a 12.04 server? problem is that everything is running fine except for links/lynx which take around a minute to resolve website [22:24] dragpyre: you don't need the linuxlive option [22:25] dragpyre, that is almost certainly correct. I think at this point the most likely issue is that you are either using a program to create the usb stick which is not getting things up right, or you just have a usb stick that is uncooperative. [22:25] hpsd ping by domain to see if that's slow [22:25] hpsd: try the 'dig' command [22:25] Above was cross posted to #ruby-lang [22:25] What -I would do- if I were experiencing the error you are experiencing is to try a new usb stick, make sure it is empty, and use pendrivelinux to create it. === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [22:27] chsados: only need 64 bit if you have more than 4gigs of ram [22:27] mikere: ping is fine [22:27] e2b04836: dig is also fine [22:27] Updating a proiigram in Ubuntu 12.0.4 that is not in Synaptic nor Ubuntu Software programs.

Thanks. [22:35] cuddylier: are you actually using ftp or sftp? [22:35] e2b04836: sftp [22:36] cuddylier: it would be much easier to achieve what you want with ftp you can restrict users to /home/ [22:36] e2b04836: is it still possible with sftp and is ftp not less secure? [22:37] e2b04836: Also, would it be easy to switch to ftp? [22:37] cuddylier: it is less secure however you can enable encryption if its needed [22:37] also i believe it is possible with sftp but it's much harder [22:37] e2b04836: I am a complete n00b, would that be easy and if so, how would I actually change to ftp and enable encryption? [22:37] Hello all. I am have several problems getting ubuntu running properly on my laptop. I have an acer 9300 laptop that I just installed 12.04 on. The first problem I am having is involving the video driver. This laptops monitor is actually broken, so i have it hooked up to an external monitor which was working fine, but after I installed the driver for the video card, it does not display to the external monitor only to the primary one [22:37] which is broken. AND even when I fidget with the primary monitor you can see the desktop is not loading properly to do anything [22:38] Updating SeaMonkey in Ubuntu 12.0.4 that is not in Synaptic nor Ubuntu Software programs.

[22:40] I have a similar problem with my wireless card, I install the recommended driver for it but it simply won't turn on. But before I can get back to tackling that I need to get the monitor working again [22:41] kkrauss: as i remember the nvidia driver generates new xorg file, perhaps you should manually edit it to properly suit your needs [22:41] dotnetted: #ubuntu-server [22:41] well I have no way to do that right now [22:41] and even if I did I wouldn't know what to do [22:41] That should have been obvious ;) Thnx [22:41] anyway to simply roll back the driver?

I tried unity --reset, with no luck. [23:23] ok thats the chicken and the egg [23:23] what about through the shell prompt [23:23] karni: you would need to whitelist the applications(if they are 3rd party) [23:23] what can I do through there? [23:23] 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. [23:23] kkrauss: you could blacklist the drivers.. I am not extremely familiar with that process however I know there is a method to blacklist the driver. [23:23] tyler_d: no apps at all. even gnome calculator. [23:24] at this rate I might be better of reinstalling the entire OS [23:24] this makes no sense [23:24] karni: so the side panel is there? [23:24] tyler_d: the dash is just empty. only music search works with external results [23:24] kkrauss: I did resort to that myself once upon a time..(reinstalling) [23:24] tyler_d: yes, the panel is here, I can launch the dash, but there's nothing listed beneath [23:24] Why would this drive be listed under additional drivers and listed as tested and fine if it sgoing to do this [23:24] karni: can you add/remove things from the panel? [23:25] just like I can get my wireless to work when using live usb but it wont work when f8ully installed [23:25] karni: sounds like possibly you don't own your home?

[23:26] tyler_d: also, it has nothing to do with adding/removing apps to the panel. I'm talking about the search window thingy [23:26] ok some typos there but you get the gist [23:26] tyler_d: I think it's some left over crust from 11.x perhaps :< [23:27] karni: so the only thing left over would be your "home"folder yah [23:27] kkrauss: Cool , thats alright . [23:27] tyler_d: I'm updating this fresh install now, but thanks for throwing those ideas at me [23:27] tylder_d: yeah, definitely the home. it worked from usb flash. [23:27] sory for the frustration but I thought iw ould come in here and some one would be like oh do this and you are done. I don't understand what the problem is, why a tested driver would do this and why I cant seem to fix it. [23:27] kkrauss: now , people need to know some details about your graphic card . :) [23:27] tyler_d: the problem is - I have the same problem on my private laptop, and I haven't solved it yet. this is the only reason I don't like ubuntu ;{ [23:28] karni: I would suggest simply ensuring the permissions are correct, and possibly even mount them separate and move what you would like over [23:28] I meant Unity ;D [23:28] anyone recommend screencasting software for ubuntu? [23:28] I love ubuntu :) [23:28] karni: :) glad to hear it [23:28] its an nvidia card and the driver was installed through the "additional drivers" application I did not do it manually, it was the one recommended and said to be tested fine. [23:28] tyler_d: okey, I'll do a recursive chown [23:28] karni: do you know much about the terminal [23:29] karni: yah, do a chown username:group -R * in your home methinks [23:29] tyler_d: I work for Canonical :) [23:29] I thought I'd have a functioning web server by now, cant even get the damn OS running right. [23:29] yup [23:29] karni: switch right after.... chown -R [23:29] (laggy internets here) [23:30] tyler_d: by that I mean, sure, I love terminal [23:30] karni: fantastic ;) [23:30] tyler_d: thanks again. [23:30] once it's done updating, I'll give it a shot. [23:30] karni: you're quite welcome, let me know if you want additional help. the logs would probably be my next move [23:31] tyler_d: I never debugged unity :) Sure, thanks Tyler! [23:31] sary: any ideas? [23:32] anyone available to help with an ethernet issue? [23:33] kkrauss: Why would you need nvidia card drivers for a server? You could install stuff like WebMin or the like, and never install X on that machine. [23:33] Rexter: I can gladly give it a shot [23:33] Rexter: need more detail though [23:33] irrelevant to my question but the server is going to most likely be a different machine I am going to bridge through this laptop [23:34] webmin++ [23:34] and ill most likely being using apache2 with ubuntu 10.10 for that, might possibly do a virtual machine server. This is all just for learning over the summer [23:35] bjut right nwo I am just learning to want to punch things because I cant get past this stupid video card issue [23:35] kkrauss: you should not have a gui for a server [23:35] anyone have youtube problem in ubuntu and chrome when html5 player is used, page doesnt get updated when video is playing, when ends - updates messed up page :D [23:35] kkrauss: get ubuntu server, install lamp. finne [23:35] Do I not speak english [23:35] tyler_d; thanks. I just installed ubuntu 12.04 the ethernet port is working, but just not seen by the connection manager. [23:36] maybe my typos make me harder to understand than I thought. [23:36] Rexter: do you know how to open a terminal? is there something plugged into it? what does it show for cards/connections? [23:36] kkrauss: 1st you need to determine what GPU is in use . # See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:37] arggg im really stuck here guys. successfully got ubuntu to install alongside windows 7 (windows 7 installed on a 120gb SSD and put ubuntu 12.04 on an internal 500GB HDD) it went through the whole OS install and now when i reboot it just goes straight to windows it doesnt ask me if i want to boot to ubuntu...what did i do wrong? [23:37] sary: that is exactly what I did [23:37] if you look it says the easiest way to do it is through hardware driver manager [23:38] chsados: i would check in your bios to see which drive is set to boot [23:38] sary: FWIW, he really doesn't need X/GUI for a server, installing lamp + webmin is easy from terminal. Now, I'll leave it up to you, me gotta go. [23:38] chsados: likely, you installed the boot loader on the 500gb HD. Change the boot order in the BIOS to boot from the 500gb drive, first. [23:38] tyler_d; yes I can use the terminal. i have a ping test running right now. How would i see "cards/connections" [23:38] chsados: since they are on completely different drives the ubuntu bootlaoder is probably on the ubuntu drive and the windows on the windows drive [23:38] karni for the love of god [23:38] Did you read a WORD I wrote [23:38] I freaking said the server was going to be ANOTHER machine!! [23:38] kkrauss: All of it. [23:39] ok if i put the 500gb first will it ask me if i want to install win7 or ubuntu? or will i need to change it every time i want to load windows? [23:39] Easy guys :) [23:39] Rexter: if you right click on the connection manager, and choose "edit connections" you can see them. from a terminal what does `ip a` show please? [23:39] chsados: it'll probably ask you to boot into either windows or ubuntu [23:39] ok great thank you very much guys...rebooting now [23:40] sary: hes derailing from what I am here for, and thats figuring out this driver problem. Im going to read the rest of this page and see if it has additional info that is helpful. [23:40] kkrauss: so , do you happen know what GPU is in use .

[23:42] tyler_d; 2: eth0....... got a local IP, and all looks good there. I can pastbin you the exact text if you want. I'm pretty sure the problem in in the manager, not the connection. I've got connection to the Internet on it. [23:42] you too karni :) [23:42] sary: :) [23:42] sary: are you looking for specifics, or just that I am using nvidia?

[23:44] kkrauss: oh man, that sucks even more :x :) (the stairs) [23:45] tyler_d; yep, it should, that's why we are having this conversation. :) [23:46] Rexter: lol [23:46] ok === proka_ is now known as proka [23:47] sary: vga compatible controller : NVIDIA corp c51 (zhrgotvr ho 6100) (reve a2) [23:47] tyler_d; I tried the manager restart, no change.

[23:54] kkrauss: it appears to make very good sense and be quite thorough... however I would fundimentaly dissagree. install ubuntu server, and select lamp(linux/apache/mysql/php) on installation, coupled with sshserver, these things can be installed right from installation [23:54] karni: very good, sorry we couldnt' nail it. have a good rest [23:54] np! thanks tyler_d [23:54] oh thats what lamp meant lol [23:54] kkrauss: sorry, shoudl have specified earlier [23:55] tyler_d; ok I have the gedit window open now. [23:55] its an older pc Ill be using though [23:55] which version should I get [23:55] that page recommended 10.10 [23:55] Rexter: very good, do you see a line refering to eth0? [23:55] kkrauss: alright. I know what you mean :) .. can you see what driver is used from the output of sudo lshw -C Video .. look in the configuration line : [23:56] sary: that command doesnt seem to be working [23:56] it just kind of flashes [23:56] tyler_d; yes auto: eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp === Granis` is now known as Granis [23:56] sary: then hangs at PCI (sysfs) [23:56] kkrauss: and are you able to switch to a real console ! [23:56] wiat it stopped hanging [23:56] no I had to boot into recovery console [23:57] then drop to prompt [23:57] kkrauss: that's not hanging :) [23:57] Does Ubuntu 11+ come with an enabled Root user with some default password? .. [23:57] sary: yes sorry didnt realize it needed time [23:57] Rexter: can you please remove the auto: eth0 references, ie. literally where it says eth0, delete it [23:57] BFranks: no [23:57] Rexter: then save and close please [23:57] sary: the information is basically the same as before [23:57] BFranks: You are asked to put a root password while installing [23:57] BFranks: just whatever you setup during install [23:57] okay , you could also drop to a tty by pressing Ctrl+Alt+f1 , or F2 . [23:58] sary: one option is to run nvidia0config but I cant make any changes to any files even with sudo because it says read only file system? [23:58] sary: ctl-alt-shift isn't it? [23:58] tyler_d; done [23:58] kkrauss: right , just look for the configuration line : [23:58] hitt: Yeah they ask to setup a user.. I don't recall an asking for a root pass other than MySQL root pass [23:58] hittt: actually, you don't set up a root password while installing. you set a password for a user account that can sudo root. [23:58] Rexter: very good, restart the machine please [23:58] um what [23:59] BFranks: that user can sudo root [23:59] BFranks: You can even get a root prompt, although it's not really recommended, by doing sudo su - [23:59] sary: one of the known problems is very similar and wants me to edit the xorg.conf file but I cant because it says it is read only file system how do I take care of that? [23:59] Best to just use sudo to change what you need to
