| Dmole | what's a CD? | 00:05 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | TomatoKetchup,when I switched to linux I still had my canon pixma ip3600 printer | 00:06 |
| Sheldon23 | Mc2992, Looks like you have ATI drivers already installed. If you're referring to the one under "Additional Drivers", there is none. | 00:06 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | I then read up what needs to be done to install the printer on ubuntu and IIRC I tried to download the appropiate driver from Canon | 00:06 |
| TomatoKetchup | you found a driver from Canon? | 00:06 |
| Mc2992 | So you think I'm good?? | 00:06 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | but any attempt to print led to the printing symbols showing for a minute and then simply disappearing | 00:06 |
| Mc2992 | I guess I will load up my fps and see what happens. Sorry for the flood. | 00:06 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | yea, I think on Canon's website was a driver | 00:07 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | .deb was the file I think | 00:07 |
| malkauns_ | why do flash video's on 12.04 sometimes play fast? | 00:07 |
| TomatoKetchup | Lunar_Lander_, I'd use whatever ubuntu has when you go to add the printer, assuming yours is listed. | 00:07 |

| malkauns_ | muelli, huh? | 00:08 |
| malkauns_ | is that some kind of nerdy joke? | 00:09 |
| TomatoKetchup | Lunar_Lander_, I don't see a linux driver at all on Canon's site... (the US site at least) for iP3600. | 00:10 |

| muelli | sirriffsalot: #winehq ? | 00:12 |
| Sheldon23 | anil, Swap Space: 2GB should suffice. | 00:12 |
| sirriffsalot | muelli: winehq seems to be the one, cheers mate! | 00:12 |
| anil | what bout mount point? | 00:12 |
| alusion | my firefox and chromium browsers are being extremely slow and unresponsive this morning, can anyone help? | 00:12 |
| muelli | anil: well. the installer does everything for you, no? You really shouldn't need to answer those question (but you can of course if you want to...) | 00:13 |
| Sheldon23 | anil, If you're installing it entirely on the disk (no other OS) then let it do the partitioning automatically. | 00:13 |
| escott | anil, if you want to hibernate the system the swap space must be at least as large as the used RAM. so having swap=RAM is a good idea. | 00:14 |
| TomatoKetchup | won't ubuntu pick / as mount point? | 00:14 |
| luciferis_ | alusion ,slow internet? | 00:14 |
| anil | ok | 00:14 |
| luciferis_ | maybe | 00:14 |
| anil | ok thanx guys | 00:14 |
| stiv2k | um | 00:14 |
| stiv2k | how do i sudo if i don't have a password? | 00:14 |
| alusion | luciferis_, no, because I have fios and usually my internet is up to par with the speeds. right now it wont load any page as it will stay just loading half way | 00:15 |
| escott | stiv2k, how do you not have a password | 00:15 |
| N4rc | Hello everyone, I'm having a hard time trying to boot Ubuntu from a USB stick on a friend's damned iMac. I tried several tricks but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions ? Thanks. | 00:15 |
| muelli | stiv2k: read "man sudoers" | 00:15 |
| stiv2k | escott its a pc i'm using as a media center, so it just logs in as soon as i turn it on | 00:15 |
| jayar | when i add aliases, do i need to logout/in again to make em work? | 00:15 |
| escott | stiv2k, you still had to establish a password when you installed the system | 00:15 |
| TomatoKetchup | thought it still required a password... | 00:15 |
| stiv2k | muelli so are you hinting at setting sudo to not ask for one | 00:15 |
| stiv2k | escott and then i removed it by going to users and groups | 00:16 |
| luciferis_ | i'm begginner | 00:16 |
| bohemian9485 | stiv2k: do you mean the current user account does not have the sudo privilege? | 00:16 |
| luciferis_ | somkind of restricion? firewwall... | 00:16 |
| escott | stiv2k, no you didnt remove the password. you just said "log me in dont ask for the password" that different from saying "disable the password" | 00:16 |
| stiv2k | bohemian9485 he does have priviledge but the user has no password, so when i use sudo it asks me for a password that doesn't exist and a blank input won't work | 00:16 |
| stiv2k | escott no, i removed the password | 00:16 |
| Curt` | Hello. I am fairly new to Ubuntu. I plan on formatting my computer and setting it up to duel-boot with Ubunti 12.04 & Windows 7. With my current duel-boot setup, I cannot access the ubuntu-related partitions with Windows (however I can access Windows related partitions with Ubuntu). Is it possible / is a bad idea to have my /home folder on a NTSF format partition? Is there other options? | 00:16 |
| muelli | jayar: that's the very safe method. But you don't *need* to. Depending on where you defined the aliases. You could, f.e. source that file from other shells. Or do smth like "bash --login". | 00:16 |
| escott | stiv2k, why would you do a d**n fool thing like that? | 00:17 |
| stiv2k | escott i went to edit my password, then i pressed backspace until all the characters were gone | 00:17 |
| stiv2k | escott i just told you why | 00:17 |
| stiv2k | escott media center pc logs in automatically upon boot up and resume | 00:17 |
| TomatoKetchup | lolol | 00:17 |
| jayar | cool, thnx muelli | 00:17 |
| escott | stiv2k, now you are going to have to boot to recovery and set the password again, or boot a livecd and chroot in to set the password | 00:17 |
| stiv2k | escott are you on drugs? | 00:17 |
| stiv2k | i can just go to users and groups and set it again if i want | 00:18 |
| stiv2k | anyhow | 00:18 |
| TomatoKetchup | stiv2k, why do you feel the need to not have a password? the system can still login without asking for it... I see no reason to remove it entirely | 00:18 |
| muelli | Curt`: I think there were some ext3 drivers for windows. you might want to use them. | 00:18 |
| stiv2k | this is the only way i can use the system without the screen being locked upon suspend and resume | 00:18 |
| escott | stiv2k, im skeptical that "pressing backspace" in the password box actually removes the password. | 00:18 |
| N4rc | Curt`: I think you can install some drivers to be able to read ext2/ext3 on Windows. | 00:18 |
| stiv2k | TomatoKetchup this is the only way i can use the system without the screen being locked upon suspend and resume | 00:18 |
| stiv2k | escott i guess i can test it out | 00:19 |
| escott | stiv2k, just go into screensaver and disable the screen locking | 00:19 |
| bohemian9485 | i remember that i messed up the sudoers file once (deleted it accidentally) and had to use the live cd to recreate it | 00:19 |
| TomatoKetchup | turn off the lock screen? | 00:19 |
| stiv2k | escott this is like, a machine i'm just playing around with, no sensitive data or anything | 00:19 |
| stiv2k | escott i did | 00:19 |
| stiv2k | its a bug | 00:19 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | TomatoKetchup, sorry was disconnected | 00:19 |
| TomatoKetchup | Lunar_Lander_, it's cool, I saw you ping out | 00:19 |
| muelli | stiv2k: very likely :) Have you filed it? I.e. using "ubuntu-bug". | 00:19 |
| Curt` | muelli N4rc: Thanks. I'll take a look into that :) | 00:19 |
| KXTwo | I am having the worst problems with ubuntu 12.04. It is sluggish, keeps locking up on me. The system has more than enough to run it and I have no hardware problems wht the heck is going on. | 00:19 |
| stiv2k | muelli should already be filed as i found it using google | 00:19 |
| escott | Curt`, / cannot be NTFS or FAT. it must be a posix compliant FS. you might setup a folder that is NTFS and then symlink folders in $HOME (like Documents, Music etc) to folders in that ntfs mount | 00:20 |
| muelli | stiv2k: k. I hope you've clicked "this affects me" then. Mind sharing the bug with us for completeness? | 00:20 |
| N4rc | Curt`: I'm not sure they're compatible with Win7 though | 00:21 |
| N4rc | Curt`: Lookup Ext2Fsd | 00:22 |
| stiv2k | muelli https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/871560 | 00:22 |
| Curt` | escott symlinks are an option too thank you. N4rc you refering to the drivers? | 00:22 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 871560 in gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) "No way to disable screen locking after suspend in Gnome 3" [Low,Confirmed] | 00:22 |
| N4rc | Curt`: Yes, but I just checked and they are | 00:22 |
| === Neal|ZNC is now known as Neal_ | ||
| escott | Curt`, I would shy away from the windows ext drivers. you never hear about anyone using them, which is usually not a good sign | 00:23 |
| Curt` | Hehe I do plan on formatting my laptop in the near future. I could experiment with it a little. | 00:23 |
| muelli | Curt`: I would use the ext drivers as it's the technical appropriate way to access your files. | 00:23 |
| stiv2k | escott i see what you mean | 00:24 |
| stiv2k | escott i can't authenticate myself to set a new password :P | 00:24 |
| stiv2k | no biggie | 00:24 |
| stiv2k | its just a test rig | 00:24 |
| muelli | stiv2k: another bug then? ;-) Already filed? | 00:25 |
| escott | stiv2k, its the old trick of putting "\n" into your password. goodluck trying to login after that | 00:25 |
| stiv2k | muelli basically anywhere in the system expects me to still input a password even though i don't have one, when trying to do administrator tasks | 00:25 |
| stiv2k | escott maybe i can paste a unicode newline character into it | 00:25 |
| Curt` | Thank you all for your input. Im going to try Ext2Fsd. If I come unsuccessful, I'll see if there are other ext2 alternatives; otherwise I'll head towards the symlink approach. | 00:25 |
| stiv2k | i mean ascii newline* | 00:26 |
| escott | stiv2k, you could file that as another bug on the user-accounts thing. it should hopefully notice and prevent pastes that might include newline characters | 00:26 |
| muelli | stiv2k: FWIW: it'd be interesting to obtain your /etc/shadow to check what the actual password is after you "deleted" it. So in case you have a chance to get it, keep it. | 00:26 |
| KXTwo | Anyone know why I am having performance problems with my clean install of 12.04, its sluggish, freezes has eratic behavior. | 00:27 |
| stiv2k | muelli i can't read it :P | 00:27 |
| muelli | stiv2k: sure. But you need to boot another system anyway. And maybe you can then get hold of the file. | 00:27 |
| Mc2992 | KXTwo: Running default video drivers?? | 00:27 |
| stiv2k | escott i was going to upgrade to 12.04 anyway via fresh install since lirc doesn't seem to work on 11.10 | 00:28 |
| HelenTheMelon | escott, That didn't fix it. | 00:28 |
| escott | stiv2k, echoing muelli. im curious what your shadow says | 00:28 |
| stiv2k | ok | 00:28 |
| HelenTheMelon | I left my room for a short period of tim and came back and my screen had dulled. | 00:28 |
| HelenTheMelon | erm | 00:28 |
| KXTwo | Mc2992: yes, I tried installing the proprietary nvidia drivers via addition drivers but it broke mys system so I removed it. | 00:28 |
| HelenTheMelon | not dulled | 00:28 |
| HelenTheMelon | gone off | 00:28 |
| escott | HelenTheMelon, hmmm. maybe some screensaver is running that is not named "*saver*" | 00:28 |
| * HelenTheMelon sighs | 00:29 | |
| Mc2992 | Im a noob but almost guarantee that its the video drivers. You might attempt to install them again or check the interweb for a how to there might be issues with the version you installed but a prior one might still work. | 00:29 |
| KXTwo | Mc2992: muelli told me not not use any proprietary drivers | 00:29 |
| muelli | aye | 00:29 |
| Mc2992 | Kkk I would listen to him. | 00:29 |
| muelli | HelenTheMelon: do smth like "ps aux | pastebinit" or so and give us the link. | 00:30 |
| shawnboy | Ever have one of those days where you shouldn't have even gotten out of bed? | 00:30 |

| KXTwo | everything is slow | 00:30 |
| muelli | shawnboy: oh, I found a dead easy way to recover your important files: Restore from a backup. | 00:30 |
| KXTwo | vista runs faster on this machine lol | 00:30 |
| shawnboy | I just uninstalled MythTV from my PC instead of in the remote window on a different PC. I used software center. Is there a way I can get the same version reinstalled or restored easily? | 00:31 |
| shawnboy | muelli, ha ha ha. thanks. | 00:31 |
| shawnboy | muelli, point taken | 00:31 |
| muelli | well shawnboy. You can install the same things using software centre, no..? | 00:31 |
| shawnboy | did I mention it was on my WIFE'S pc? | 00:31 |
| shawnboy | muelli, I suppose, but figured it may install the latest. Not sure if there's a way to force reinstall of the version that is cached under var? | 00:32 |
| muelli | heh shawnboy. Do you have a cat? Maybe you can make it run over the keyboard and then blame it. Oh, and it would also accidentally buy the new 50" TV you always wanted ;-) | 00:32 |
| HelenTheMelon | escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/989910/ | 00:33 |
| muelli | shawnboy: there is. but it's a hack. You can locate the .deb in /var/apt/archives (or the like, you'll figure out) and use dpkg -i on that deb. But mind you: it's a hack. | 00:33 |
| shawnboy | so... no suggestions on how to reinstall mythtv that is on my hdd already under var cache? | 00:33 |

| KXTwo | stiv2k: that hurts, deeply :( | 00:35 |
| _schism_ | muelli, thank you. looking for it now | 00:35 |
| muelli | KXTwo: I'd use "htop" to find out what's using up your CPU. | 00:36 |
| escott | HelenTheMelon, i have no idea what could be blanking your screen | 00:36 |
| KXTwo | psensors is running and my cpu hasnt broken 50 percent usage yet | 00:36 |
| _schism_ | muelli, ummm wait isnt that nano a cli txt editor? | 00:36 |
| muelli | _schism_: sorry man. It's kind of a joke because nano is a simple (but very lovely) text editor and can edit any file... | 00:36 |
| stiv2k | muelli meh, you motivated me to get off my ass, i'm gonna reboot the tv into 12.04 liveUSB and get you the shadow file | 00:36 |
| TomatoKetchup | hrm, p7zip says it works on DMG files, telling me unknown suffix when I try to decompress though | 00:36 |
| _schism_ | muelli, lol yeah soon as I said thanks I looked up in guake and actually have a txt file open in it now :) | 00:36 |
| muelli | _schism_: but your question isn't really enlightening me anyway. Maybe you could ask for a program to edit a specific type of file and not the suffix... | 00:37 |
| HelenTheMelon | escott, Could my netbook have a hardware screensaver? | 00:37 |
| escott | HelenTheMelon, never heard of such a thing. but maybe | 00:37 |
| HelenTheMelon | okay :3 | 00:38 |
| _schism_ | muelli, its a microsoft excel file of some sort i think. I have no idea what ot os os why I am asking | 00:38 |
| Oer | HelenTheMelon, maybe not a screensaver, ACPI can control a timer to turn your screen off | 00:38 |
| KXTwo | what the hell is going on, I just did a reboot and have a system progarm problem detectecd | 00:39 |
| escott | Oer, is that not the same as DPMS or is this in addition to DPMS | 00:39 |
| escott | HelenTheMelon, is it dimming going to full black, or just a dimming backlight? | 00:40 |
| Oer | escott, correct, DPMS it is. | 00:40 |
| HelenTheMelon | escott, Going to full black. lol | 00:40 |
| Oer | S01 ~ S04 | 00:40 |
| escott | HelenTheMelon, you could dig around in /sys maybe there is some acpi setting that is causing the display to turn off (or the backlight to go to zero) | 00:41 |
| HelenTheMelon | :o | 00:41 |

| tking0036 | N4rc: and it will open the bootloader and select the usb drive | 01:17 |

| harushimo | oh okay | 01:33 |
| harushimo | I will do that | 01:34 |
| mh512 | yeah that way is better | 01:34 |

| neo_ | yes | 01:35 |
| harushimo | that is what I thought. I was going to upgrade python too | 01:35 |
| mcdonc | python is used for almost every canonical gui app | 01:35 |

| stiv2k | muelli | 01:35 |
| stiv2k | where did he go | 01:35 |
| stiv2k | escott | 01:35 |
| harushimo | you are right | 01:35 |
| escott | stiv2k, yes? | 01:36 |
| stiv2k | hang around for another minute | 01:36 |
| stiv2k | i had to burn 12.04 to a CD i forgot this laptop didnt have usb booting support | 01:36 |
| stiv2k | so i can get the shadow file | 01:36 |
| mcdonc | i wouldn't bother upgrading python if you're on 12.04.. it's a pretty recent version | 01:36 |

| ResolutionHD | Okay I can set it anywhere it doesnt matter | 01:43 |
| ResolutionHD | I just want it to be the same everytime I hook it up | 01:44 |
| === Announcemiint is now known as Aliv3 | ||
| escott | ResolutionHD, basically all you need to do is the following: 1) run sudo blkid and identify the UUID that is associated with the device (you cannot trust /dev/sdb to always be sdb sometimes it might be sdc or other device labels so use the UUID) | 01:44 |
| ResolutionHD | Okay then how can I make it mount to a perminant position with that? | 01:45 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, then run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and add a line that says "UUID=????? /whatever/mountpoint/you/want ext4 defaults 0 2" (the last column could be 0 if you dont want it fscked, but 2 will check it for errors periodically | 01:45 |
| stiv2k | escott shit... liveCD does kernel panic.... | 01:45 |
| stiv2k | escott what do i do :S | 01:45 |
| escott | stiv2k, can't remember what your problem was | 01:46 |
| escott | stiv2k, the password right | 01:46 |
| stiv2k | escott i had a passwordless user and you want to see the shadow file | 01:46 |
| escott | stiv2k, odd that you are getting a panic. can't you boot whatever you used to do the original install | 01:46 |
| stiv2k | probably | 01:46 |
| stiv2k | but i want to wipe it and install 12.04 anyway | 01:46 |
| escott | stiv2k, or can you just boot the rescue mode? | 01:46 |
| stiv2k | instead of 11.10 | 01:46 |
| escott | stiv2k, so you have a 12.04 panic. what is the nature of the panice? | 01:47 |
| Mischinka | Lol i have a 12.04 panic too | 01:47 |
| neo_ | I had one too, I just reinstalled | 01:47 |
| ResolutionHD | escott, Could you give me an example? I dont wanna get the syntax wrong | 01:47 |
| stiv2k | escott it just panics before i can get logged in | 01:47 |
| stiv2k | while booting up | 01:47 |
| Mischinka | Mine has to do with properly upgrading my apache server. | 01:47 |
| stiv2k | escott maybe i should do nomodeset | 01:47 |
| === orbellz is now known as bellz | ||
| === bellz is now known as tdubellz | ||
| escott | ResolutionHD, the existing fstab should have entries for the / filesystem. yours should be similar to that but with a "2" instead of a "1" in the last column, and a different UUID and the mountpoint is /whatever instead of / | 01:48 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, given that this is a removable I would put it under either /media or /mnt | 01:48 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, If you want to have something like "files in $HOME/Music" are actually on the removable drive you can symlink Music to /media/removable/Music | 01:49 |
| ResolutionHD | Thats what I wanna do how can i do that | 01:49 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, well first get the removable drive mounted in a good location. /mnt/something or /media/something so that you can identify it | 01:50 |
| stiv2k | escott if i boot with nomodeset is it going to create the installation using the vesa video driver or something | 01:50 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, so create the fstab entry and then paste that line in here | 01:50 |
| ResolutionHD | escott UUID=d3b5b6f4-7ae3-4667-8199-33347aa919d6 /mnt/HDD ext4 defaults 0 2 | 01:51 |
| escott | stiv2k, its not going to use kernel modesetting, that might mean that X falls back to vesa or it might mean that X does its user space modesetting | 01:51 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, ok. then you would "sudo mkdir /mnt/HDD; sudo chmod 777 /mnt/HDD; sudo mount /mnt/HDD;" | 01:51 |
| stiv2k | escott is that going to change configuration when i install to the hard drive though? | 01:52 |
| escott | stiv2k, you might install the proprietary drivers | 01:52 |
| ResolutionHD | escott okay now what | 01:53 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, type "mount" to verify that the /mnt/HDD is listed as one of the mounted filesystems, and "ls /mnt/HDD" to see what is currently in the folder | 01:53 |
| stiv2k | escott its still crashing with nomodeset | 01:54 |
| escott | stiv2k, what is the panic? what does it say? | 01:54 |

| KXTwo | this is seriously driving me to the poitn of insanity | 01:56 |
| KXTwo | every document | 01:56 |
| stiv2k | escott i think its b43 | 01:56 |
| stiv2k | how do i prevent b43 from loading | 01:56 |
| KXTwo | ever article I can find online, says that my problem is using the default ddriver for my nvida card | 01:56 |
| ResolutionHD | okay it is | 01:56 |
| KXTwo | so it tells me to install the proprietary one | 01:56 |
| stiv2k | part of the backtrace says b43 in it | 01:56 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, assuming those two give the results you want. and suppose you wanted the "~/Music" folder to actually be /mnt/HDD/Music then you would issue the following commands (note that sudo is NOT used) "rmdir ~/Music; mkdir /mnt/HDD/Music; ln -s /mnt/HDD/Music ~/Music" | 01:56 |
| KXTwo | but as soon as i do it breaks my fucking system! | 01:56 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, rmdir only removes empty directories so if you have files in ~/Music you need to move those first | 01:57 |
| Takyoji | Anyone know how to resolve the issue of CDs/DVDs not showing up sometimes in Nautilus? | 01:57 |

| thisisjet | Hello. I bought a laptop which came with windows. Then I burned my windows recovery DVD's via the provided wizard. This is good as I no longer have to worry about loosing my windows install/license while installing linux. | 02:00 |
| thisisjet | So now I am running Ubuntu, and have these recovery DVD's, but I am thinking it would be great if I could make disk images of the DVDs and save them to an external hdd. Then I'd not need to keep track of the physical disks. So What I am asking is: What is the best way to make an image of a windows recovery dvd so I can recreate the dvds later if I ever need? | 02:00 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: which video card | 02:00 |
| escott | KXTwo, nvidia is a bit of a pain | 02:00 |
| ResolutionHD | Escott yes it works perfect thanks again | 02:00 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, you might give it a reboot to make sure it gets mounted properly on boot. there is a risk that a USB device might cause the boot to fail (if usb enumeration occurs after mount all) | 02:01 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: escott I am about over this though. I have followed exaclty what every person/article says to do. I install the right driver. I was going to not install it at lal but I am having peformance issue and everyone says its because im not using the right video driver. Yet despite following instructions to a T AND using the drive that is suposedly tested BY ubuntu teams as soon as I install it, I no longer have access to my external mo | 02:01 |
| KXTwo | nitor and cant doa nything on the primary | 02:01 |
| KXTwo | frankly its a fucking joke, i am in a lose lose situation, crappy performance, or broken video card. | 02:01 |
| trevorj | Hello all, is there any way to allow dd to skip= over a pipe/stream? | 02:01 |
| escott | KXTwo, thats the downside of proprietary drivers. we don't know what nvidia put in them | 02:02 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: it is a geforce go 6100. | 02:02 |
| trevorj | escott: 100% agreed sir | 02:02 |
| escott | KXTwo, also please keep in mind this is a volunteer supported channel. so try to keep the attitude positive | 02:02 |
| trevorj | ATI's drivers are fantastic these days now that they are open sourced | 02:02 |
| KXTwo | escott: i understand that but it says tested, also there are no documents indicating to do it the other way. the binary driver site all says to just do iot through additional drivers. | 02:03 |
| escott | trevorj, what do you mean skip? | 02:03 |
| trevorj | escott: as in seek past X blocks of input data | 02:03 |
| trevorj | escott: it works with a standard file, but not with a pipe in my tests | 02:03 |
| trevorj | escott: If it doesn't work I'll just have to modify dd but I was making sure I'm just not doing something wrong here | 02:03 |
| KXTwo | so far not a single driver that I have used via the additional drivers option has worked. I ahd to use a workaround for my wireless card. and had another nvidia problem with a different system. But I can find no workaround for this | 02:04 |
| escott | trevorj, skip=?? | 02:04 |
| trevorj | escott: yep | 02:04 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: you could try a newer driver via https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 02:04 |
| escott | trevorj, so the skip=BLOCKS argument doesn't work | 02:04 |
| trevorj | escott: dd: `standard input': cannot skip to specified offset | 02:05 |
| KXTwo | my system is so jacked right now I think only a reinstall will fix it | 02:05 |
| KXTwo | even booting an older version is being silly | 02:05 |
| escott | trevorj, you could use tail +bytes to jump a number of bytes in the stream and then send to dd | 02:05 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: beware of ppas, they are not magic fixes; ie you must use someting ala ppa-purge to remove them | 02:05 |
| KXTwo | this is all beyond me at this point anyway | 02:06 |
| KXTwo | I think I have no choice but to reinstall | 02:06 |
| KXTwo | im going to try a different distro I think | 02:06 |
| KXTwo | windows vista ran better on this laptop | 02:06 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: That won't help | 02:06 |
| Ben64 | what exactly is it doing after you install the driver that you aren't liking | 02:06 |
| stiv2k | trevorj sup | 02:06 |
| trevorj | sup stiv2k | 02:06 |
| stiv2k | escott i'm in | 02:06 |
| stiv2k | let me get you the shadow file | 02:06 |
| stiv2k | looks like b43 was causing it to panic | 02:06 |
| trevorj | stiv2k: b43 is rather carpy | 02:07 |
| stiv2k | yeah | 02:07 |
| trevorj | stiv2k: not the dev's fault I imagine, but lack of docs, etc, etc you know | 02:07 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: I installed this on my old laptop that has a broken monitor. i have it hooekd up to an external one. once I instal the driver, it will no longer display to the external monitor. And even when i can manage a signal to the broken one I cannot do anything, the desktop doesnt finish loading. I can topen a terminal or switch to a console, virtually nothing other than creating a new docoument or folder | 02:07 |
| stiv2k | trevorj its fun to blame the devs though :P | 02:07 |
| escott | trevorj, some carp are nice. koi are particularly pretty | 02:08 |
| Anacranom | here's he bottom line, if you use the vendor's driver, you're fine- until there's a kernel update, then you have to re-install it again --- if you use the distro's driver, it will survive a kernel update, but- what are you losing?... | 02:08 |
| trevorj | escott: yes, yes they are ;) | 02:08 |
| ResolutionHD | Escott, How do I make it where I can run a command on any terminal without having to go to the directory? | 02:08 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: try installing a remote desktop thing (vnc or whatever you prefer) open up nvidia-settings and tell it to display to the external monitor only | 02:08 |
| stiv2k | trevorj remember our channel #gentoo-noob | 02:08 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: I would be fine just using the dfault driver and staying away from nvida drivers, but my system is sluggish and people suggest its the driver | 02:08 |
| trevorj | stiv2k: yes! | 02:08 |
| stiv2k | trevorj like a decade ago | 02:09 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: thats not going to work when the desktop doesnt even finish loading | 02:09 |
| stiv2k | Lol | 02:09 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, you mean add a program to you path? | 02:09 |
| trevorj | stiv2k: funny that was that long ago | 02:09 |
| trevorj | stiv2k: we're old these days | 02:09 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: maybe it finishes loading on the main monitor? | 02:09 |
| ResolutionHD | Nvm I figured it out yes that was it | 02:09 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: that doesnt even make sense, its a software issue, not a display issue | 02:09 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: it's a driver issue** | 02:09 |
| escott | ResolutionHD, if you have a custom program just for yourself, the best place to put it is in ~/bin, on your next login ~/bin will be added to your path | 02:09 |
| KXTwo | trevorj: pretty sure drivers are software :) | 02:09 |
| gar | anyone good with postfix that could please help ? | 02:10 |
| trevorj | gar: I am sir | 02:10 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: the main monitor doesn't work.. it usually expects it to work, so it likely is displaying everything on it | 02:10 |
| trevorj | gar: fire away | 02:10 |
| KXTwo | i'm removing the driver now while booted into an older version | 02:10 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: I don't think I explained it to you in a way that makes you understand | 02:10 |
| Ben64 | <KXTwo> Ben64: I installed this on my old laptop that has a broken monitor. i have it hooekd up to an external one. | 02:10 |
| Ben64 | pretty clear cut | 02:10 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: even if it was displaying to the external monitor, my system is still broken | 02:10 |
| gar | trevorj: Okay. I try to do ehlo and I get temporary lookup failure | 02:10 |
| gar | trevorj: just trying to send out to the internet | 02:10 |
| trevorj | gar: transport maps? | 02:11 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: the lack of displaying to external monitor was simply another symptom | 02:11 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: how can you tell it's broken when you can't see what is on the main screen? | 02:11 |
| trevorj | gar: do you have anything odd in your postfix config? | 02:11 |
| trevorj | gar: specifically main.cf? | 02:11 |
| trevorj | gar: or are you just getting DNS lookup failures | 02:11 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: ok Im goin to go for a run before my frustration explodes | 02:11 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: I told you i can see the old monitor, its just in shotty condition | 02:11 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: make sure the monitors are set to dupe the display | 02:11 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: this is not default | 02:11 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: there is a bad connection in it so I have to basicaly squeeze it, I can see the mouse move, I can see what I am doing | 02:11 |
| gar | trevorj: nothing special...i can lookup the hostnames on the box | 02:12 |
| trevorj | gar: can you pastebin me your main.cf and the last 50 lines of your mail.log? | 02:12 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: the desktop does not finish loading, no display bar, simply my psensors. when i switch to console it is black screen, when I open terminal either nothing happens or it completely freezes | 02:12 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: the only thing I can do is right click to get a new... | 02:12 |
| KXTwo | trevorj: I literaly can do nothing, I cannot get into any settings | 02:12 |
| gar | trevorj: will do | 02:12 |

| trevorj | KXTwo: ssh! | 02:12 |
| gar | thanks | 02:12 |
| KXTwo | trevorj: the only thing I can do is boot older version, remove driver then reboot | 02:13 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: ctrl+alt+F1 gets to a tty | 02:13 |

| stiv2k | escott nvm | 02:14 |
| KXTwo | I am unfarmilir with ppa | 02:14 |
| stiv2k | escott i don't have read permission yet | 02:14 |
| KXTwo | I am a basic noob to this | 02:14 |
| KXTwo | on my oler systems I just sued additional drivers | 02:14 |
| KXTwo | and everything was fine | 02:14 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: ppas are additional apt repos | 02:14 |
| KXTwo | also 10.10 on my older system runs faster than 12.04 on this one | 02:15 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: here's the easy way to diagnose this | 02:15 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: setup openssh server and a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces for your ethernet device | 02:15 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: then when you boot it you'll actually have access to it through ssh and you can try things | 02:15 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: otherwise you're shooting nasty fish in a barrel | 02:15 |
| KXTwo | god damn it | 02:16 |
| KXTwo | this tiem when I removed the driver | 02:16 |
| Ben64 | and install gnome fallback | 02:16 |
| KXTwo | now my resolution is all jacked up | 02:16 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: did you create an xorg.conf? | 02:16 |
| KXTwo | yes and I ran nvidia-xconfig etc | 02:16 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: you need to tell us what exactly you have done so far or it's very hard for us to help =( | 02:16 |
| KXTwo | but it fixed itself | 02:16 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: ok great | 02:16 |
| stiv2k | escott ok got it | 02:16 |
| KXTwo | trevorj: I have done what anyone else would ahve done | 02:17 |
| KXTwo | I followed the binary driver guide | 02:17 |
| KXTwo | did exactly what youa re supposed to | 02:17 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: ok, so you followed a guide | 02:17 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: which guide | 02:17 |
| KXTwo | I honestly dont even want to mess with the nvida driver anymore | 02:17 |
| KXTwo | so I just want to figure out why my system is running so sluggish | 02:17 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: I did the same thing after nvidia screwed me enough times | 02:17 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: what is sluggish | 02:17 |
| trevorj | KXTwo: binary blobs are really, really lame | 02:17 |
| KXTwo | so I have my system back | 02:17 |
| KXTwo | I open up firefox it takes almost 10 seconds to open | 02:18 |
| trevorj | escott: did you try dd skip through a pipe? | 02:18 |
| trevorj | escott: if so, did it work for you and I'm just an idiot? | 02:18 |
| trevorj | escott: =) | 02:18 |
| KXTwo | basically anything I open is slow | 02:18 |
| stiv2k | escott http://pastebin.com/T4KB3NT8 | 02:18 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: could be slow hard drive? | 02:18 |
| escott | trevorj, never had a reason to do so. why do you need dd for this? why not a simple cat? | 02:18 |
| KXTwo | vista runs faster than this on here | 02:18 |
| Anacranom | could be nouveau... | 02:18 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: try this - "sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda" and paste result | 02:18 |
| stiv2k | escott my user is owner | 02:19 |
| trevorj | escott: can you offset a cat ? | 02:19 |
| KXTwo | Anacranom: I know thats why I tried the nvidia driver but thast a hell hole | 02:19 |
| trevorj | escott: ie, skip x bytes? | 02:19 |
| trevorj | escott: you can't that I'm aware of | 02:19 |
| escott | trevorj, tail +bytes | 02:19 |
| trevorj | escott: oh snap | 02:19 |
| trevorj | escott: but, that doesn't wait until it gets to the end does it? | 02:19 |
| Ipsilon | How do I center a client run via xinit? | 02:20 |
| trevorj | escott: I can't fit this into ram, that's why I ask | 02:20 |
| escott | trevorj, technically something | tail -c +bytes >output | 02:20 |
| trevorj | Ipsilon: use a window manager | 02:20 |
| KXTwo | cached readers 744.84 mb/sec | 02:20 |
| KXTwo | disk reads 43.85 | 02:20 |
| Mischinka | I made a failed attempt to install apache 2.4.2 and now my website is not coming up.. I have an apache,mysql,php site and had apache 2.2.22 previously. Does anyone have an idea of how I can now complete the task to get the site back up and running? | 02:20 |
| trevorj | escott: I'll test it out real quick | 02:21 |
| Ipsilon | trevorj, I'm running on a separate "server" (I might be using this word wrong). | 02:21 |
| Rallias | Mischinka did you try /etc/init.d/httpd restart? | 02:21 |
| escott | trevorj, it doesnt need to skip to the end. the weird +bytes argument format means start at bytes | 02:21 |
| Ipsilon | i.e. Ctrl-Alt-F8 | 02:21 |
| trevorj | escott: I understand that, but tailing with lines as a + | 02:21 |
| trevorj | escott: makes it fit it all into ram first | 02:21 |
| Mischinka | Rallias: -bash: /etc/init.d/httpd: No such file or directory | 02:21 |
| escott | stiv2k, thats a crazy stupid bug. it actually did null out your password | 02:21 |
| trevorj | escott: nasty coding imo | 02:21 |
| KXTwo | I don't see how it could be the harddrive if vista actually ran faster lol | 02:21 |
| KXTwo | thats what it came with | 02:21 |
| Ben64 | yeah that speed isn't too bad | 02:21 |
| escott | stiv2k, is that even a valid shadow file anymore? | 02:22 |
| Rallias | Mischinka My bad, /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 02:22 |
| Ben64 | i'd still install nvidia driver, but i know you don't like it | 02:22 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: everyone says its nouvea and that I should sue the nvidia driver but I cant get it to work | 02:22 |
| KXTwo | Ben64: I would love to but cant get it to work, it breaks my system | 02:22 |
| Mischinka | Rallias: http://pastebin.com/thWM5kK9 | 02:22 |
| escott | stiv2k, ok. i see "some applications that read the shadow file *may* decide not to permit access" | 02:23 |
| Rallias | Mischinka The probable change is you used a different MPM. Put a # infront of line 100 in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 02:23 |
| KXTwo | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 02:23 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: i would suggest that you install gnome fallback, install ssh server, remove the xorg.conf, and install the nvidia driver | 02:23 |
| escott | stiv2k, this might do what you want with some modifications to your /etc/pam.conf | 02:23 |
| KXTwo | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:23 |
| stiv2k | escott eh? | 02:24 |
| KXTwo | what is gnomefall back? | 02:24 |
| stiv2k | escott its ok.. i'm reinstalling with 12.04 | 02:24 |
| escott | stiv2k, you had wanted things to not prompt for the password. so maybe by nulling out the password, and then also modifying pam.conf you could get programs to respect the null'ed password. my guess is that sudo is configured to ignore the fact that your password is nulled | 02:25 |
| KXTwo | even if it was the nouvea driver would that make say software center run slow, even installing through there is slow | 02:25 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: gnome fallback is like the old version of gnome | 02:25 |
| KXTwo | why do you want me to intall that? | 02:25 |
| Ben64 | because unity uses accelerated graphics | 02:26 |
| === mtgs is now known as EnkiduEnkita | ||
| KXTwo | so you want me to get rid of unity and use gnome? | 02:26 |
| Ben64 | it might speed up your system even with noveau | 02:26 |
| Rallias | eurgh stupid VPS with apache2 installed by default... | 02:26 |
| Mischinka | Rallias: good news it had me comment out a few other lines and the site is up, but now i did apache2 -v and it says im still using apache 2.2.22 | 02:26 |
| Ben64 | KXTwo: you'd get the option of what to start when your system comes up | 02:26 |
| stiv2k | escott well | 02:26 |
| KXTwo | ok I dont see gnomefall back just regular gnome, is that ok/ | 02:26 |
| stiv2k | escott i won't need to do that anymore, because i think the "locked screen after suspend" bug is fixed | 02:27 |
| stiv2k | escott in 12.04 | 02:27 |
| Rallias | Mischinka At this point, I'd like to refer you to #ubuntu-server | 02:27 |

| mosno | for some reason i don't see my Nautilus window in the alt-tab list of GNOME Shell, what gives? | 02:27 |
| MaynardWaters | how would you guys set up a restore state, where it will automatically load a bunch of specific programs in specific locations on the desktop? | 02:27 |
| mosno | wait, there it is... that was weird... it took like 10seconds for it to appear | 02:27 |
| KXTwo | ok I have no idea | 02:27 |
| KXTwo | so guess Im giving up for now | 02:28 |
| KXTwo | since I have no idea what you are trying to get across to me | 02:28 |
| KXTwo | turning into # c all over again lol | 02:30 |
| Mischinka | Rallias: you wouldnt happen to know why i had to comment it out would you? | 02:32 |
| Rallias | Mischinka Its most likely you switched MPM's somehow. In all reality, you really aught to look into getting nignx working instead of working on the beast they call apache | 02:33 |
| trevorj | I'm a fan of both apache and nginx | 02:33 |
| trevorj | They are not of the same kind of beast | 02:33 |
| Rallias | For 99.9% of purposes, nginx preforms equal to or better than apache. | 02:33 |
| Rallias | in my experience. | 02:34 |
| trevorj | Rallias: I'm not denying that ;) | 02:34 |
| trevorj | Rallias: mine as well | 02:34 |
| trevorj | Rallias: but nginx can be too restrictive at times | 02:34 |
| Rallias | trevorj, all nginx restrictions can be alieviated with perl and fastcgi | 02:34 |
| trevorj | Rallias: I started using it when it first came out OSS and there was no english docs or site | 02:34 |
| trevorj | Rallias: Babelfish was horrible at translating code comments btw | 02:35 |
| Rallias | I started using it when my blog started taking 25-30 seconds to load. | 02:35 |
| trevorj | Rallias: Glad it worked =) | 02:35 |

| krababbel | Danny: you want to play movies from the windows partition? best is to mount the partition read only, but your player shouldn't want to write to the directory your movies are in. | 03:19 |

| TimStarling | why is this in chinese? https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/index.html | 03:35 |
| reflexrg | because chinese is the new english | 03:35 |
| reflexrg | and that the chinese government want to rule the world! | 03:36 |
| reflexrg | ubuntu is part of their secret agenda | 03:36 |
| reflexrg | just jk... :) | 03:36 |
| reflexrg | TimStarling I just checked that link its in english for me you probably have your browser language settings setup to pick chinese if available | 03:37 |
| TimStarling | nope, I double checked with curl from a server | 03:38 |
| TimStarling | in the US | 03:38 |
| TimStarling | and I checked my outbound request headers with Live | 03:38 |
| TimStarling | LiveHTTPHeaders | 03:38 |
| reflexrg | hmm maybe it is 12.04 bug | 03:38 |
| reflexrg | I am still using 11.10 | 03:38 |
| reflexrg | having upgraded yet | 03:38 |
| TimStarling | the server is 10.04 | 03:38 |
| TimStarling | and it's curl | 03:38 |
| TimStarling | it's not like curl has secret options to convert things to chinese | 03:39 |
| reflexrg | but for me with firefox on 11.10 when I go to that link it is in english | 03:39 |
| waxstone | in 12.10 is there a way to clear/reset recently used items(files/aps/etc) ? | 03:39 |
| TimStarling | is it sending Accept-Language? | 03:39 |
| reflexrg | no | 03:39 |
| TimStarling | ah yes, that is curious | 03:39 |
| TimStarling | if I send "Accept-Language: en", it gives it in english | 03:40 |
| TimStarling | if I send no AL header, it gives it in chinese | 03:40 |
| reflexrg | are you connecting via a proxy or using tor to connect to the website? | 03:40 |
| reflexrg | sometimes that can change the language defualts | 03:40 |
| TimStarling | no I'm not using a proxy | 03:40 |
| reflexrg | cause the webpage sees you are connecting from germany or china ec.... | 03:40 |
| reflexrg | some sites do this | 03:41 |
| TimStarling | using geolocation to select page language, with no way to override, is stupid if that's what it's doing | 03:41 |
| TimStarling | if I travel to Germany it doesn't mean I want the web in german | 03:41 |
| TimStarling | anyway if it is geolocation, the database must be very broken, or there is a bug in the relevant code | 03:42 |
| TimStarling | because the server IP address I am using has been in the US since forever | 03:42 |
| reflexrg | you can usually over ride it TimStarling in the sites settings | 03:42 |

| bazhang | https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/763230 Aeryndaar is it this? there is a ppa that fixes the issue | 04:38 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 733349 in unity (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #763230 Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon" [Undecided,Won't fix] | 04:38 |
| KXTwo | Aeryndaar: I dont remember how but youc an map your own keys | 04:38 |
| JP_Franks | Anyone know what port besides 22 openSSH could need? I can connect if I DMZ the IP but just allowing port 22 into the machine doesn't work. | 04:39 |
| Synackal | no other port should be needed JP_Franks | 04:40 |
| Synackal | did you look into passive versus active issues? | 04:40 |
| JP_Franks | You mean yell at it? | 04:41 |
| JP_Franks | Yup! | 04:41 |
| selig5 | Aeryndaar: on Unity 3d alt+tab offers the desktop as one of the choices | 04:41 |
| Aeryndaar | bazhang: That's not really exactly what I'm looking for, but thanks. | 04:41 |
| Aeryndaar | KXTwo: Yeah, in System Settings/Keyboard, I think, but I don't really see minimize-all-windows (I mean for all programs, or basically show desktop) as an option | 04:42 |
| Synackal | JP_Franks something is wrong with your port forwarding, is this NAT and what are you using to make a DMZ, your router? | 04:42 |
| Aeryndaar | Selig5: I got Unity-2d. Is there a way to 'upgrade' to unity 3d? | 04:42 |
| Synackal | make sure you local firewall is allowing port 22 | 04:42 |
| Aeryndaar | Sorry guys, I just got this new laptop 3 days ago. Very new to Ubuntu, but loving it so far. | 04:43 |
| Synackal | ideally only to certain subnets of course | 04:43 |
| selig5 | Aeryndaar: you might have to get a better video card... | 04:43 |
| bazhang | http://iloveubuntu.net/new-keyboard-shortcuts-landed-precise-pangolin Aeryndaar this then? | 04:43 |
| JP_Franks | syn: Yeah it the router.. the sshd isn't doing anything to trigger any NAT rules.. but opening the port in this manner works for all other things (RDP, Web, Minecraft, etc.. :) ) | 04:43 |
| Aeryndaar | selig5: I have nVIDIA GeForce 540M? Wouldn't say that's crap, is it? Of course not video-game grade, but still :| | 04:44 |
| Synackal | so if you nc or telnet to the WAN IP on port 22, what happens? | 04:44 |
| Synackal | is it shown as closed? | 04:44 |
| Synackal | try going to grc.com shieldsup and see if port 22 shows as open on the WAN IP | 04:45 |
| JP_Franks | YEah putty gets a quick hand slap.. Then I DMZ the whole IP and I'm in.. | 04:45 |
| Synackal | i see | 04:45 |
| Aeryndaar | bazhang: Yes, the Control+Super+D is the exact thing I wanted, but doesn't work O_O | 04:45 |
| JP_Franks | So I was guessing it's some sort of discovery port I'd never heard of? | 04:45 |
| Aeryndaar | bazhang: OH nevermind, I got it. | 04:45 |
| Aeryndaar | libreoffice was loading | 04:45 |
| selig5 | Aeryndaar: maybe you need the proprietary drivers for that card? | 04:46 |
| Synackal | afaik there are no other ports needed for SSH, i have set it up dozens of times and port 22 is all you need for SSH and SFTP | 04:46 |
| Synackal | i would want to see what is happening with that router | 04:46 |
| Synackal | interesting | 04:46 |
| Aeryndaar | bazhang: Thanks a lot :) | 04:46 |
| Synackal | anybody else have a suggestion for JP_Franks ? | 04:47 |
| Aeryndaar | selig5: How do I do that? (I admit I'm noob :|) | 04:47 |
| Synackal | JP_Franks - make sure your router does not have its own SSH port open? | 04:47 |
| iceroot | JP_Franks: nmap -p 22 hostname | 04:47 |
| iceroot | JP_Franks: you only need port 22 for ssh, sftp, scp | 04:48 |
| Synackal | scp = sftp afaik, its all part of openssh but yea, that should work, dmz should allow port 22 on the DMZ IP | 04:48 |
| Synackal | must be missing something | 04:48 |
| selig5 | Aeryndaar: not sure, look at the nVidia website for linux drivers for that card? | 04:49 |
| Aeryndaar | selig5: f^^k, I bet they don't have one :( | 04:49 |
| Aeryndaar | I'll check | 04:49 |

| iceroot | xdark: 11.10 is not an lts release | 04:54 |
| iceroot | !lts | xdark | 04:54 |
| ubottu | xdark: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 04:54 |
| selig5 | Aeryndaar: found this: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-275.19-driver.html | 04:55 |
| Aeryndaar | @xdark: there's no LTS 11.10. That comes every 3 years I think? | 04:55 |
| xdark | yes | 04:55 |
| iceroot | Aeryndaar: every 2 | 04:55 |

| KXTwo | aqnd despite all this effort to get my nvidia driving working, the system still runs slow | 05:08 |
| selig5 | Aeryndaar: right click the driver file and mark it as executable and then try to run it, I'm not an expert myself... | 05:09 |
| Derpametric | Bazhang : When I searched for it in the Software Catalog, it gives me a button for "More Info", then it gives me a "This page does not exist" error. | 05:10 |
| KXTwo | days ive been working on this, I just cant get this thikng to run right :( | 05:10 |
| KXTwo | maybe its time to go to mint | 05:10 |
| Derpametric | I have the tar.gz file downloaded from the sourceforge page, but I have no idea what to do with it. | 05:10 |
| bazhang | Derpametric, let me search for the proper package name. best to install from ubuntu sources. just a moment | 05:10 |
| xangua | !info zsnes | Derpametric | 05:11 |

| bazhang | Derpametric, you dont want to install from some 3rd party source like that | 05:11 |
| Aeryndaar | selig5: How do I do that :| There isn't such option in the right-click menu | 05:12 |
| KXTwo | whoa | 05:13 |
| KXTwo | so I started up system monitor | 05:13 |
| KXTwo | and im using 70 percent of my memory | 05:13 |
| KXTwo | and it says swap not available | 05:13 |
| KXTwo | whats that all about? | 05:13 |
| Mischinka | When installing a ubuntu server should i have automatic updates or canonical landscape service or none? | 05:13 |
| KXTwo | now my cpu usage is high too and Im not running anyhting | 05:14 |
| bazhang | Mischinka, you may wish to ask that in #ubuntu-server if you dont get a response here | 05:15 |
| Mischinka | rogerroger | 05:15 |
| bazhang | KXTwo, open a terminal and type top to see what is using up resources | 05:15 |

| KXTwo | then firefox | 05:16 |
| KXTwo | 104 megs for firefox jeez | 05:16 |
| bazhang | KXTwo, how much ram does your machine have | 05:16 |
| KXTwo | it has 1 gig but fore some reason says I have 756 | 05:17 |
| KXTwo | 742.6 in system monitor | 05:17 |
| KXTwo | and for some reason swap is not available | 05:17 |
| KXTwo | I have a few gig swap partition | 05:17 |
| selig5 | Aeryndaar: right click, then choose 'Permissions', there is an option to 'Allow executing file as program': check that box. | 05:17 |

| mongo | KXTwo: your video card uses some of the system ram | 05:20 |
| mongo | KXTwo: adding more ram would help a lot | 05:21 |
| KXTwo | well I am well above the system requirements to run 12.04, should I use an older version? | 05:22 |
| KXTwo | I also only set my video card to use 64megs of my system ram | 05:22 |

| KXTwo | mongo: I think I fixed that, I am rebooting now. the system just seems to be way sower than it should be. Should I just use an older version of ubuntu? | 05:34 |
| mongo | KXTwo: try unity 2d | 05:34 |
| KXTwo | mongo: why? Whats the difference? | 05:35 |
| KXTwo | mongo: I kind fo dont like unity so far, I miss gnome lol, but if youw ant me to use unity 2d I honestly dont know how or whats the difference | 05:35 |
| mongo | KXTwo: one uses less graphics, it may be quicker | 05:35 |
| mongo | you could try the mate UI | 05:35 |
| Aeryndaar | Mike9863, doesn't it already have it? | 05:35 |
| Aeryndaar | Next to the X and the maximize? | 05:36 |
| Aeryndaar | Should be in top-left corner? It only shows up when you put your mouse there... | 05:36 |
| KXTwo | mongo: how do I switch to it? and will it effect all the driver fussing I did with my nvidia card? after fresh reboot my swap file works now, and Im using about 500 megs of memory does that sound right? | 05:36 |
| Mike9863 | Aeryndaar: I don't want a button. I want to be able to minimize it with the click of a mouse anywhere on the title bar. | 05:36 |
| Aeryndaar | That little hyphen button, is that what you want? | 05:36 |
| Aeryndaar | Oh | 05:36 |

| mongo | to test it out | 05:37 |
| KXTwo | mongo: mint is what is on my main laptop | 05:37 |
| Mike9863 | It's already set to do it with Button 2, however I'd rather scroll than middle click | 05:37 |
| KXTwo | mongo: is there a huge difference in the quality of the graphics? | 05:37 |
| KXTwo | also when I log out I do not see an option to use unity 2d | 05:38 |
| KXTwo | mongo: found it | 05:38 |
| KXTwo | mongo: dude this is WAY faster but using about the same memory, whats the deal? | 05:39 |
| mongo | KXTwo: unity 3d expects quit a bit of hardware accelerated graphics | 05:39 |

| xangua | kkrauss: unity is a shell for gnome, like the official gnome shell: gnome-shell | 05:46 |
| kkrauss | ok so its just the front end? So far Im not a huge fan, should I continue with it? What is the general consensus on it? How hard is it to switch back to gnome shell? I think my mint machine uses the gnome shell. | 05:47 |
| calmpitbull | unity is the best...faster than gnome and kde | 05:48 |
| calmpitbull | u need to learn about shortcuts | 05:48 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, as in? | 05:48 |
| calmpitbull | win keys and numbers | 05:48 |
| kkrauss | I like my gnome-shell on my other laptop, the super key menu is mo better | 05:48 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, I do not know them all but im familiar with many, how is that relevant? | 05:49 |
| visored | anyone have a guess as to why my network connection on my ubuntu file server randomly becomes slow? RDP connections are badly lagged, and file transfers take like 10 times as long | 05:49 |
| visored | it randomly fixes itself after a few hours | 05:49 |
| visored | and it seems to happen every so often | 05:49 |
| calmpitbull | kkrauss: for me is faster cuz i dont use mouse | 05:49 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, I do a little bit, but the average person will. Remember what ubuntu s goal is, linux for average people | 05:49 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, is unity really all that faster, I cant fairly compare since my other laptop ihas better hardware, but linux mint smokes on there | 05:50 |
| Aeryndaar | selig5: so I got this after I tried to execute/install the driver, should I just 'edit anyway'? | 05:50 |

| JZApples | If I want to use ATI proprietary drivers in 12.04 do I still modify /etc/x11/xorg.conf? It doesn't appear to exist. | 05:50 |
| calmpitbull | kkrauss: yes i know but after a while ull get to the point where ull just be in terminal window :) | 05:50 |
| kkrauss | btw guys I am KXTwo for those of you who didnt figure that out | 05:50 |
| kkrauss | iin school thats all I used was a terminal | 05:51 |
| kkrauss | I like both depending on what im doing | 05:51 |
| calmpitbull | well for me 70% is terminal | 05:51 |
| kkrauss | i notice that in unity when you maximize a window it actually maximises it to the window bar, and window icons are on the left | 05:51 |
| Baggins_ | part | 05:52 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, I like both, but I like a GUI for the most part | 05:52 |
| Aaron_` | Getting quite desperate for help here. I have a FTP server set up under windows at location A. I have a windows AND a linux box set up at location B. The windows box at location B can connect and use the FTP server, however the Lunix box at location B will let me log in, however when I issue a command, put or ls for example, it times out. | 05:52 |
| jorges23 | hola de mexico | 05:52 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, do you do this for a living or for fun or both/ | 05:52 |
| calmpitbull | both...but mostly fun | 05:52 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, the next thing I want to do is use an older machine I have as a server | 05:54 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, at the ver least I want a web server where I can host a dokuwiki | 05:54 |
| calmpitbull | kkrauss: when u maximize window in unity u lose windows icons... | 05:54 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, obviously I dont want a GUI on that one, so alllll shell baby. | 05:54 |
| calmpitbull | nice | 05:54 |
| calmpitbull | i love shell | 05:54 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, my question to you is, what is your opinion, should I just install ubuntu server | 05:54 |
| calmpitbull | ye | 05:55 |
| calmpitbull | yes | 05:55 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, OR should I install a virtual server, then have multiple VM's, one for web server, one for DNS, one for File server etc? | 05:55 |
| jorges23 | hello good nite | 05:55 |
| === Youri is now known as Iruoy | ||

| calmpitbull | that is a good idea too | 05:56 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, I have some experience with vm's but not much, though a colleague of mine suggest I do it that way, and have separate VM's for each thing I want to do | 05:56 |
| calmpitbull | than do it like that | 05:56 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, you think VM's are better? May I ask why, are there pro's and con's? | 05:57 |
| calmpitbull | maybe i should do that to my old machine | 05:57 |
| kkrauss | calmpitbull, I doubt some one of your level would needa ny help but I have a wiki on how to set up a virtual server and vm's lol | 05:57 |
| calmpitbull | dont know man but now i am thinking to do that to my old machine | 05:57 |
| calmpitbull | im noob at server too | 05:58 |
| calmpitbull | just installed ubuntu server but never used it, no time | 05:58 |
| kkrauss | have you set up virtual servers before? | 05:58 |
| JZApples | Can someone help me install ATI's proprietary drivers for my radeon 9600? | 05:58 |
| calmpitbull | never | 05:58 |

| kkrauss | I just graduated with a degree in comp sci and hpc, but I have a LOT to learn. that is how I set up my vm server using squeeze | 05:59 |

| calmpitbull | kkrauss: good | 06:01 |
| kkrauss | the only thing that sucks about the other system I have is that it dos not support usb boot, so ill have to burn a cd when I decide how to do it. | 06:02 |
| === zenix`away is now known as zenix` | ||
| calmpitbull | that should not be a problem | 06:03 |
| kkrauss | I dont know if you looked at my wiki but I used squeeze for that project | 06:04 |
| calmpitbull | just glanced | 06:05 |
| kkrauss | I think squeeze is just a distro, I think it can be done with any distro | 06:05 |

| leku | nthanks | 06:17 |
| kkrauss | ssh | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | and the exact command you are using? | 06:17 |
| kkrauss | ive done this before its just hanging | 06:17 |
| kkrauss | ssh keygen -t rsa | 06:17 |

| JMichael|work | is there a reason why, for example, PPA repos and us.archive.ubuntu.com are just death-defyingly slow right now? | 06:18 |

| dr_willis | kkrauss: missing a dash? | 06:18 |
| kkrauss | yes sir | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | ;) thought that was a typo... i was about to say i alwsya use ssh-keygen myself | 06:19 |
| kkrauss | dr_willis, heres a question | 06:20 |
| kkrauss | whenever ive done this in the past I have been one of many users on a system, this is my first tiem doing it on my own system | 06:20 |
| kkrauss | the default for the key files is /root/.ssh | 06:20 |
| kkrauss | ive always done it /home/user/.ssh | 06:20 |
| kkrauss | does it matter? | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | the root user has his own key. as does each user | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | not surew you need a key for root. | 06:21 |
| virtuaposta | hi everybody... need li'l help here :-/ | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | you shouldent be sshing in as root anyway | 06:21 |
| leku | tru dat | 06:21 |
| kkrauss | I cant even get into /root | 06:21 |
| kkrauss | so that won't work | 06:21 |
| virtuaposta | it is showing /usr 100% full but utilized 9.2 GB of space out of 9.7 GB.. even I removed some logs measuring 2 GB but the changes are not getting reflected... when I do du -h over /usr it shows 5.2 GB of total utilized space... any thoughts over this? | 06:21 |
| kkrauss | not sure why thats the default | 06:21 |
| leku | you shouldn't be ssh'ing AS 'root', or INTO a box as 'root' | 06:22 |
| dr_willis | you ran keygen as root? its not the default here | 06:22 |
| kkrauss | apparantly | 06:22 |
| kkrauss | I had to su into my log in | 06:22 |
| kkrauss | for it to default to my home directory | 06:22 |
| dr_willis | sounds weird.... | 06:23 |
| kkrauss | oh shoot now to copy that key | 06:24 |
| Stava | How do I restart (stop and start) the unity dash/menu? | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | Stava: unity --replace normally | 06:25 |
| Stava | dr_willis: Seems I have a unity menu on both my monitors, and I thought restarting unity would help but it seems it didnt | 06:26 |
| Stava | normally there's only one menu | 06:26 |
| kkrauss | dr_willis, how would you copy the pub key file from one machine on one network to one on another? | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | kkrauss: i tend to use ssh-copy-id | 06:27 |
| Stava | dr_willis: Also "The program 'unity' is not installed". I'm using unity 2d | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | Stava: tru unityd --replace perhaps.. i dont use u2d. | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | unity2d --replace | 06:28 |
| kkrauss | dr_willis, out of curiosity will that automatically append? | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | kkrauss: never noticed. im just a home lan user | 06:29 |
| Stava | dr_willis: seems i have none of those programs | 06:29 |
| kkrauss | hm not sure if I did this right or not | 06:30 |

| rex | hey anyone know what pkg lets you drag your window to the far right edge of desktop to move it to another desktop,rather than pin it to the current? | 06:35 |
| kkrauss | dr_willis, Why dont they just make it an option you can access easily instead of using terminal lol | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | rex that used to be a compiz feature i recall. | 06:36 |
| kkrauss | also the current work around doesnt change it for when maximized | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | kkrauss: its a per theme setting. some themes do move them to the right hand side | 06:36 |
| kapz | anyone knows of laptop-hardware channel? | 06:36 |
| crizis | rex: i guess disabling 'snap' plugin with compizconfig could help | 06:36 |
| crizis | that's the beast doing the edge snapping at least | 06:37 |
| kkrauss | alright well I have learned enough for today, I will be back tomorrow to syphon what I can from the channel | 06:37 |
| kinich | If I install a package using dpkg -i , will apt-get recognize that package as installed and won't try to install it again? | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | kkrauss: because when mazed tthey are not part of the window any more | 06:37 |
| kinich | say if I do 'apt-get -d install openssh-server' | 06:37 |
| kkrauss | tomorrow hopefully starts my virtual server setup | 06:37 |
| kinich | copy the .deb somewhere else | 06:37 |
| kinich | install it using dpkg, will apt-get recognize it as installed if I do 'apt-get install openssh-server' ? | 06:37 |
| kkrauss | 06:38 | |
| dr_willis | kinich: dpkg and apt know what eath other did | 06:38 |
| kkrauss | by chance you arent using xchat are you? | 06:38 |
| kinich | cool | 06:38 |

| kkrauss | I dont see anything in the options | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | kkrauss: under the server settings. a autoconnect checkbox | 06:39 |
| kkrauss | once where we thought but got it figure dout | 06:42 |

Downloaded the driver already as a .run file, tried to run it as an executable but that met with encoding issues. Apparently since it's a video card driver, I need to turn off x11 first (get out of GUI). What should I do to get this thing installed? | 07:19 |
| n00bguy | i get this error on terminal | 07:19 |
| newbiedemon1 | how are you | 07:20 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, is 12.04 your only install? | 07:20 |

What should I do to have things be decrypted? | 07:22 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, 12.10 is in development upgrading if you have stuff there you can't loose is not really advised | 07:22 |
| wylde | Aeryndaar: ctrl+alt+f1 ---> Login ---> sudo lightdm stop ---> sudo ./blahblah.run | 07:23 |
| Aritz | richtroye: its sth that is not native in ubuntu right? i have to download the iftop then? | 07:23 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, you mean a update upgrade not a upgrade to 12.10 right? | 07:24 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, it is telling you to try this, sudo apt-get -f install | 07:25 |
| Aeryndaar | wylde (lol sorry im noob just got ubuntu 3 days ago) how would i get out of that virtual command-only environment later? | 07:25 |
| n00bguy | i tried running sudo apt-get -f install, but it still complains http://i.imgur.com/HvMzV.png | 07:26 |
| n00bguy | plz help me ppl...cant figure this out :( | 07:26 |
| wylde | Aeryndaar: after it's installed start lightdm again ( sudo service lightdm start ). Although, I don't recall if it will want to reboot or not. If it does it should start as normal using the new driver. | 07:26 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, Do you have synaptic installed? | 07:27 |
| n00bguy | i think so | 07:27 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, go there and look in custom filters and at broken packages | 07:28 |
| n00bguy | @wilee-nilee, how can i force apt to libwbcclient0 & samb-common the versions it wants | 07:28 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, Don't know really I have never had to do a force | 07:29 |
| n00bguy | @wilee-nilee, found 2 broken pkgs in synaptic, what next ? | 07:30 |
| n00bguy | remove them ? | 07:30 |

| n00bguy | @wilee-nilee, winbind & libpam-winbind, both of which have unmet dependencies, they want libwbclient0 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2 (instead of 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.1 ); & samba-common 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2 (instead of 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.1) | 07:33 |
| Aeryndaar | wylde: thanks. I'm going to apt-get update first, then possibly I may need to sign on here on another PC while this get ctrl+alt+F1'd | 07:34 |
| n00bguy | @wilee-nilee, do i have a newer version than what it wants to satisfy dependencies ? | 07:34 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, Not sure really I don't think I can really definitively answer that, a bit outside my pay range. :) | 07:35 |
| n00bguy | @wilee-nilee, in my case how to really install a particular version of those 2 dep packages, libwbclient & samba-common | 07:35 |
| wilee-nilee | n00bguy, not sure like I said not really an area I know, per-say. | 07:36 |
| richtroye | arag0rn__ You can do 'sudo apt-get install iftop' | 07:37 |
| n00bguy | @wilee-nilee, thanks buddy, will try removing, upgrading & then reinstalling | 07:37 |
| richtroye | Aritz You can do 'sudo apt-get install iftop' | 07:38 |
| n00bguy | thanks @wilee-nilee, upgrade now seems to be working after removing the 2 broken packages from synaptic....i need to learn more cmd line fu :) | 07:45 |

| Aeryndaar | Hey guys | 07:54 |
| Aeryndaar | So I just did ctrl+alt+F1 | 07:54 |
| Aeryndaar | then tried sudo lightdm stop | 07:54 |
| Aeryndaar | apparently the command-only environment crashed? | 07:54 |
| Aeryndaar | and lightdm is still on | 07:55 |
| Aeryndaar | now im back to the normal interphase | 07:55 |
| auronandace | sudo service lightdm stop | 07:55 |
| Aeryndaar | ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work now. | 07:55 |
| Aeryndaar | That's what I typed after ctrl+alt+f1 earlier (after logging in my own account of course) | 07:55 |
| Aeryndaar | and that's what caused the crash | 07:55 |
| Aeryndaar | I'm trying to install a proprietary video driver | 07:56 |
| maximb | I've mounted a windows share and it's currently owned by a root /mnt/share - even if I try to change ownership to me via sudo chown -r username , it won't change it - why ? | 07:57 |

| Aeryndaar | krababbel I am in desktop right now | 07:57 |
| Aeryndaar | Like the NORMAL desktop | 07:57 |
| krababbel | why do you want to stop lighdm? just install the driver | 07:58 |
| Aeryndaar | I tried that earlier | 07:58 |
| Aeryndaar | I thought I need to stop the x server | 07:58 |
| Aeryndaar | because when I tried to run the .run file as an executable earlier | 07:59 |
| Aeryndaar | in the end I got an encoding error or some sort | 07:59 |
| Aeryndaar | krababbel: this is a screenshot | 08:00 |
| Aeryndaar | http://i.imgur.com/AgVNw.png | 08:00 |
| krababbel | Aeryndaar: what driver? | 08:00 |
| Aeryndaar | NVIDIA | 08:00 |
| krababbel | it's in the official packages | 08:00 |
| Aeryndaar | NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64.275.19.run for NVIDIA GeForce 540M | 08:01 |
| krababbel | don't use that | 08:01 |
| Aeryndaar | I downloaded it from nvidia's website | 08:01 |
| Aeryndaar | Oh? | 08:01 |
| Aeryndaar | Then what should I use for installing that proprietary nvidia driver? | 08:01 |
| krababbel | restriced driver option in system settings | 08:02 |

| Aeryndaar | I also tried to do a bunch of other things earlier and they didn't work. Not sure if you seen my post from earlier: Hey guys. I have a question. I'm trying to install the proprietary driver for NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M. Downloaded the driver already as a .run file, tried to run it as an executable but that met with encoding issues. Apparently since it's a video card driver, I need to turn off x11 first (get out of GUI). What should I do to | 08:03 |
| Aeryndaar | get this thing installed? I tried to edit /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf and change RUN_LEVE = 1 by running in command-only mode, but when I was trying to access the folder where my file is located, it is apparently encripted, and I get a message that says "keyctl_search: Required key not available Perhaps try the interactive 'encryptfs-mount-private'".

| mashton | Hi All. I have a question regarding Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop. I am using alt-tab to switch between applications. If I have more than one instance of a particular app open (e.g. 3 instances of nautilus), then pausing over that icon opens up a view of those open windows (then I can use the arrow keys to pick a specific instance). Is there a way of closing a selected instance from that alt-tab view? | 08:56 |

| adv__ | hi | 10:03 |
| SharkMuttleworth | Bonjour | 10:03 |
| ecolitan | i would like to prepare for a release upgrade 10.04-12.04, but want to just download all the packages. Is it possible to stop at this step? | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | ecolitan: i think the alternative installer cd can sort of upgrade that way | 10:04 |
| SharkMuttleworth | Yes... you need to watch really carefully, and hit cancel at the exact moment | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | the cd can work as local repo | 10:05 |
| zooz | hi people | 10:05 |
| zooz | wow so many of you | 10:05 |
| sirriffsalot | ecolitan: if you want to avoid not being able to use your computer for a day, wait a month or two before using 12.04 | 10:05 |
| sirriffsalot | ecolitan: unless of course you need 12.04 | 10:05 |
| zooz | what is the difference between server and desktop editions? | 10:05 |

| Narc | Hello everyone. I'm trying to install Ubuntu from a USB key on a friend's damned iMac. I followed the wiki and a lot of other howtos to no avail, the mac doesn't even see the USB drive. Now I installed rEFIt and I'm trying to boot the install CD from a partition. Any suggestions on how to succeed ? Thanks | 10:21 |
| adv__ | Narc: done that on PC no idea for MAC | 10:22 |
| television90_ | gvfdfgbsd | 10:22 |
| adv__ | using Vbox to run it along side win | 10:22 |
| SharkMuttleworth | Narc: But the iMac already has a nice operating system... | 10:23 |
| ikonia | Narc: if the mac isn't seeing the usb drive either there is a problem with that pen drive, or it wasn't created properly | 10:23 |
| Narc | SharkMuttleworth: It's not mine, no sarcasm please :-D | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Narc: is there a reason you are not just burning a CD and booting from it ? | 10:24 |
| adv__ | Narc: wht is the format of fs ext2~3~4?? | 10:24 |
| Narc | ikonia: The superdrive DVD drive in the iMac is dead | 10:24 |
| === LKJ_ is now known as Guest46997 | ||
| Narc | ikonia: It sees Mac OS X install on that same pen drive but not Linux install | 10:25 |

| usuario_ | hola | 10:25 |
| adv__ | Hmm | 10:25 |
| usuario_ | hola | 10:25 |
| Narc | adv__: I used every possible filesystem available in disk utility on Mac OS, mac os extended with GUID partition table, and FAT | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Narc: so it's more realistic that the usb pen drive has not had the linux component put on it correctly to boot | 10:26 |
| Narc | ikonia: I followed the wiki to the letter 5 times... I tried creating it manually, I used Startup Disk Creator on Ubuntu, I tried cloning the ISO... Any suggestions ? | 10:27 |
| usuario_ | hola | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Narc: not really, I've never had a problem (apart from if I've made a mistake creating the usb boot image) | 10:28 |
| edikoston | hello | 10:28 |
| usuario_ | que | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Narc: tried booting it on another machine (non-mac / mac) | 10:28 |
| Narc | ikonia: Ok, so chances are I'm doing something wrong | 10:29 |
| Narc | ikonia: I'll try again and check on my laptop | 10:29 |

| edikoston | :) | 10:32 |
| Narc | adv__: I will if I really can't get the installer to boot | 10:32 |
| Russel-Athletic | they just crash at randomly, no response and no tty, they are new machines and it happens with latest lts and 2 versions before that | 10:32 |
| Russel-Athletic | /var/log/syslog doesn't tell me anything and i don't know where else to look | 10:32 |
| adv__ | There is virtualbox for ubuntu if u have access to any other ubuntu system try it on that... | 10:33 |
| adv__ | btw which ubuntu ver? | 10:33 |
| Russel-Athletic | they are in a nis with /home over nfs if this matters | 10:33 |
| SharkMuttleworth | I'd recommend VMWare over Virtualbox | 10:34 |

| duppy | crizis: both | 11:09 |
| codekK | hello all, can anyone help me? i have a continuos errors when i update to ubuntu 12.04 from 10.04, Ubuntu-classic with effects dont start and some apps crashes.. :S | 11:09 |
| johnm | crizis: check what version of the flash plugin you're using, the one from the repo is almost certainly using ndiswrapper | 11:10 |

| crizis | johnm: whatever 12.04 ships, and 64bit | 11:10 |

| johnm | crizis: try removing the current plugin (from the repo) andf check its removed in about:plugins then install it from the adobe site directly - there is a native 64bit plugin | 11:11 |
| crizis | johnm: i'm not having any problems, duppy is :) | 11:11 |
| * morsnowski can't wait for flash to go away | 11:11 | |

| duppy | so what plugin to use?32bit or 64bit? | 11:11 |
| DJones | duppy: She had an issue about 2 months ago where it slowed down to a dead stop, I ended up deleting the flash cached data folder & since then its worked fine | 11:11 |
| johnm | if you're on a 64bit install with a 64bit browder, then 64bit | 11:11 |
| === rick__ is now known as garvinrick4 | ||
| johnm | usually, it installs the 32bit plugin using ndiswrapper for 64bit compat in 64bit browsers | 11:12 |
| crizis | duppy: if you wanna try one more "easy" way, try chrome from googles repos (not chromium) | 11:12 |
| johnm | it used to be required, it no longer is | 11:12 |
| duppy | Djones: how to delete that? | 11:12 |
| crizis | duppy: i assume you thried chromium from software centre now? | 11:12 |
| duppy | crizis: yup chromiom from software center. | 11:12 |
| crizis | duppy: https://www.google.com/chrome/index.html try "real" chrome :) it ships with its own flash player | 11:13 |
| crizis | duppy: no need to uninstall current one | 11:13 |

| codekK | im writing at gedit and in few min crashes | 11:19 |
| sary | codekK: perhaps the upgrade process got interrupted somehow .. and your graphic card should be activated for those 3d effects. | 11:19 |
| * Church has upgraded from 11.04>11.10>12.04, and have no problems with gnome-classic without effects. | 11:20 | |

| codekK | yes | 11:21 |
| Church | (after upgrade to 12.04?) | 11:21 |
| codekK | yes | 11:21 |

| Aethelred | yandex8932: thanks. Looking now. | 13:20 |
| razvan86 | i am thinking about the calendar applet present in gnome | 13:20 |
| yandex8932 | MrKeuner: Yes, if the package was still being used by another bit of software, it wouldn't be able to remove it | 13:20 |
| razvan86 | ? | 13:20 |
| BlueWolf | OerHeks: I know where I am :D I just wanted to know the #openoffice.org | 13:20 |
| BlueWolf | Thanks | 13:20 |
| MrKeuner | yandex8932, thank you | 13:20 |
| fidel_ | MrKeuner: usually yes | 13:20 |

| yandex8932 | razvan86: No idea. Gnome Shell integrates with Evolution through the calendar though... | 13:21 |
| razvan86 | i know ... i am using that now ... but in gnome-shell i don't have rhythmbox and pidgin integration | 13:21 |
| razvan86 | and the "message tray" bar is useless | 13:21 |
| yandex8932 | razvan86: Lol, you want everything :P Have you tried the gnome shell extensions website? | 13:22 |
| yandex8932 | razvan86: I think there's a pidgin extension | 13:22 |
| razvan86 | i tried the tweaks .. | 13:22 |
| razvan86 | yeah ... but it still does not behave like unity ... | 13:22 |
| fidel_ | razvan86: what are you looking for? | 13:22 |
| razvan86 | the tray of unity is brilliant | 13:23 |
| yandex8932 | razvan86: It's fairly simple to write an extension if it doesn't do what you want, only a few hundred lines often | 13:23 |
| razvan86 | it only misses evolution-PIM integration into the calendar applet | 13:23 |
| razvan86 | but i just migrated from windows 2 weeks ago :-s .... | 13:23 |
| Aethelred | yandex8932: ok, that was helpful. That also has a "remove" option. What can I expect to happen when I remove it? Specifically, will I get a desktop when I reboot? | 13:24 |
| razvan86 | my greatest achievement is trying to compile a patch ... | 13:24 |
| razvan86 | and fail ... | 13:24 |
| yandex8932 | Aethelred: It should cleanly remove the driver and reconfigure your x.org. But yes, it is a little worrying... | 13:24 |
| Guest72472 | yandex8932, yes it is installed | 13:24 |
| MrKeuner | fidel_, yandex8932 there are like 175 packages listed under autoremove which made me scared | 13:25 |
| yandex8932 | MrKeuner: Could you put the list in a pastebin? | 13:25 |
| yandex8932 | MrKeuner: Did you remove something which left trailing files or something? Or have you upgraded? | 13:25 |
| MrKeuner | yandex8932, how can I list them? | 13:25 |
| Aethelred | yandex8932: "a little worrying" Well, no hand-holding I guess. I'm off to jump into the deep end. | 13:26 |
| MrKeuner | yandex8932, installed precise beta then anly did dist-upgrade since couple weeks | 13:26 |
| fidel_ | MrKeuner: 175 isnt that much - basically it depends on what you added & removed in the past & how often you clean up | 13:26 |
| yandex8932 | MrKeuner: If you're worried, just leave them. It's not going to have any ill effect on your computer besides taking up a little space | 13:26 |
| fidel_ | i.e. i do run: 'sudo apt-get autoremove' from time to time | 13:26 |
| fidel_ | yep - there is no need to do so - on the other had - there is usually really no need to worry as long as you dont remove packages accidently and answer dependcies question without knowing the answer | 13:27 |
| yandex8932 | Aethelred: As always, make sure you have anything important backed up :P | 13:27 |
| MrKeuner | yandex8932, fidel_ all right, thank you for the insight | 13:28 |
| Aethelred | yandex8932: thanks :) | 13:28 |
| fidel_ | MrKeuner: in case you are new to linux & apt & willing to play more with it without having to much fear -> consider setting up a small linux vm inside your linux box to have a playground | 13:29 |

| spotted | yeah | 13:33 |
| fidel_ | MrKeuner: tons of libs - but without knowing what you do & use in detail on that box such a list isnt that helpful | 13:33 |
| cesarstafe | but this complement is not present in repositories maybe because allways this makes a try to download the complement and nothing happens | 13:33 |

| deww | when i move my mouse across monitors, it "sticks" for a bit on the second and it's really annoying | 13:36 |

| kurtwp_ | deww: yes | 13:39 |
| fidel_ | Rallias: for not learning it? ;) | 13:39 |
| deww | i dont see it :/ | 13:39 |
| MrKeuner | fidel_, I was assuming synaptic is pretty is decent. And apt-get autoremove removed the same number of packages as synaptic listed. | 13:39 |
| BluesKaj | spotted, then run lsusb to confirm all your usb ports are enabled | 13:39 |
| kurtwp_ | deww: you went to system setting -> displays | 13:39 |
| Rallias | fidel_, I've learned how to use apt-get for the most part, I just prefer synaptic because it provides a graphical way for me to hunt down bogus packages I don't need. | 13:39 |

| designbybeck | i am just trying to figure out then I "Installed" these others, where did it put them so that I can make sure they get backed up and put back in the system next time? | 13:49 |
| ram19890 | thanks guys | 13:50 |
| yandex8932 | designbybeck: in .fonts or /usr/share/fonts I'd think. Just do a grep for fonts on your system to find other font directories if you're missing certain ones | 13:53 |
| designbybeck | Thank you yandex8932 I did find it and installed it, but I just don't know why when I copied it over those didn't come as well | 13:54 |
| Cyonx | May be an odd question for this channel, but I honestly like unity, and I don't understand why it gets such a bad reputation. 12.04 is the first time I've used it however, was it really bad in 11.10? Have I just not run into it's problems yet? I'm honestly curious. | 13:54 |
| designbybeck | like when you open a font in the font viewer and click Install....where does that install to? and/or what all else happens? likes to a file or indexes it? | 13:55 |
| fidel_ | Cyonx: its partly a historic thing -as unity is replacing the well-known gnome and breaks some ways how i (the deskop) worked in the past | 13:55 |
| OerHeks | Cyonx, you are one of the lot without problems, congrat! ( *me too) | 13:55 |

| fidel_ | as always -changes are not welcome to everyone ;) | 13:56 |
| Cyonx | I wouldn't say i'm entirely without problems. I've had to fix a few things, and I still can't figure out why some programs will show up on the unity launcher bar the first 5 or 6 times I launch them, and then never again until I reboot (gotta use superkey-w to find the running program) | 13:56 |
| Cyonx | but overall the interface structure is quite pleasant imo | 13:56 |
| lrojas | hi all, i want to install vim on ubuntu 12.04, i have googled but have not found the answer to my question, what is the basic diference between the diferent flavors of vim available on the repository and wich one should i install to be used with unity? | 13:57 |
| fidel_ | Cyonx: well then - enjoy it and skip the useless discussion others might do over that topic ;) | 13:57 |
| MrKeuner | fidel_, I am sure unity is a good program, but I like going with the standard. I won't always use ubuntu. I may change to Debian at some point, or to redhat. I would prefer to be able to use the same tools accross different distributiouns | 13:57 |
| Cyonx | but then, I had even worse problems with cinnamon on LM, and just as many problems with gnome2 under 9.04 | 13:57 |
| fidel_ | Cyonx: the nice part is still: everyone can choose what he is using | 13:57 |
| yeehaw | lrojas: Just install vim | 13:57 |
| fidel_ | MrKeuner: i dont use it either - but i dont see a point in discussing user-specific preferences in detail - as it will most likely not help or change something ;) | 13:58 |
| MrKeuner | true | 13:58 |
| yeehaw | lrojas: If you're used to that there will not be a different vi clone that will work as you expect | 13:58 |
| intore | anyone can help me? | 13:59 |
| Cyonx | Isn't unity based on gnome? shouldn't gnome programs run under unity and vice-versa? are they different enough that you need to compile seperate versions of programs/tools? | 13:59 |

| OerHeks | Cyonx, unity runs under Gnome3 | 13:59 |
| Cyonx | see that's what I thought. I've recently played with several different distros, all running either gnome2 or gnome3, and the tools look virtually identical in my experience. | 14:00 |
| OerHeks | Cyonx, you can try ubuntu + gnome-shell too | 14:01 |
| OerHeks | !nounity | 14:01 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 14:01 |

| LjL | J11_: not really, i don't think. you can unpack the .deb manually if you want to have it in a dir | 14:18 |
| sunbird | (used to just delete ~/.evolution but they moved the files in 12.04) | 14:18 |

| VirtualBlackness | where is flash failing? | 14:28 |
| esmirlin | quixotedon: this is the problem, i don't know how is it called :S | 14:28 |
| quixotedon | esmirlin: example sudo firefox | 14:28 |
| quixotedon | :) | 14:28 |
| smee | flash items embedded in webpages just don't load. | 14:28 |
| LjL | quixotedon: err, what? | 14:28 |
| smee | using ubuntu. | 14:28 |

| VirtualBlackness | smee: did you have firefox open when you reinstalled? Because that causes problems. | 14:29 |
| craigbass1976 | kriestof, did it start as soon as you got 12.04, or wait a while? | 14:29 |
| LjL | quixotedon: that's not the way you start an application from the terminal, unless it actually needs to be root - and firefox certainly doesn't. you just type the name of the command, with no "sudo". | 14:29 |
| smee | <VirtualBlackness>: i may have originally. | 14:29 |
| K1rk|Work | I am currently running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS, on System > Administration > Printing, if I go to Server > Connect I can enter in a remote cups server, and all the printers appear there. Is there any way to make this connection permanent, and enable applications to print to these remote printers? I would like to avoid a situation where printer management becomes a local problem, I'd love to have one CUPS server that everyone connects to, so printers are centrall | 14:29 |
| esmirlin | quixotedon: don't find it :( | 14:29 |
| kriestof | craigbass1976: Yes, after dist-upgrade it says all the time it's 'processing'. | 14:29 |
| quixotedon | LjL: hahaha the sudo is already in my first word :) | 14:29 |
| VirtualBlackness | smee: Once more, just for grins, close everything down, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get instlall --reinstall flashplugin-installer | 14:30 |
| esmirlin | i'm in a spanish ubuntu, can you please chek it in yours if you have the enlgish version? | 14:30 |

| craigbass1976 | kriestof, huh... That makes more sense than it working for a while, then stopping for no apparent reason. I don't remember doing an update Monday, and it quit yesterday while I was gone. | 14:30 |
| VirtualBlackness | Very familiar problem smee... very. | 14:31 |
| LjL | quixotedon: to be honest i'm not sure i understand what esmirlin actually wants to do | 14:31 |
| smee | VirtualBlackness: brb 2 secs. i should be able to keep xchat open, right? | 14:31 |
| quixotedon | LjL: doesn't esmirlin want to open an app through terminal? That's what i can think of.. :) | 14:31 |
| esmirlin | LjL: i want to launch "startup applications" from the console | 14:31 |
| VirtualBlackness | I don't believe it is flash based, but have never used so I do not know smee. | 14:32 |

| action09 | hi #ubuntu :) | 14:37 |
| sirriffsalot | Hey! | 14:38 |
| action09 | here a paste of my sources.list, http://paste.ubuntu.com/990764/, when i try do do an upgrade it say that installing packages from repo not authenticated... i dunno why .. virtualbox is the only repo i added.. | 14:38 |
| action09 | is it that one you think ? | 14:38 |
| sirriffsalot | action09: sudo apt-get update? | 14:39 |
| MonkeyDust | action09 execute that command with -v precise so we can see other distro's sources | 14:40 |
| MarKsaitis | https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/postgresql.html states tha twhen u install postgresql from official repos, config files are in /etc/postgresql/ . Its all empty!!!!! The guide is wrong | 14:40 |
| MarKsaitis | HELP | 14:40 |
| action09 | sirriffsalot 1st time of my life that i do updates with the gnome icon system parameter on the upper right corner.. let's see if it's the same with manual : aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade | 14:40 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: screaming "HELP" won't really get you anything but ignored | 14:41 |
| action09 | sirriffsalot obviously manual update don't display the same error.. :) | 14:41 |

| action09 | sirriffsalot no pb: just got an alert with the graphical update and no more alert with text-based ... weird .. thanks anyway :) | 14:42 |

| sirriffsalot | Whenever there is talk of XXXXX development libraries, in this case ALSA and JACK development libraries, will this always mean "jack-dev" or "alsa-dev"? | 14:46 |

| bingtan | help?!?! | 14:47 |
| mneptok | action09: may i PM? | 14:47 |

| sirriffsalot | bingtan: don't ask to ask is the rule here I think, just ask:) | 14:47 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: I've burned myself so many times with partitioning, I'll try to help. what's the problem? | 14:47 |
| pablo_ | VirtualBlackness, i did "sudo update-rc.d cups remove" | 14:48 |
| pablo_ | it keeps stating anyway | 14:48 |
| MonkeyDust | !recover| bingtan | 14:48 |
| ubottu | bingtan: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 14:48 |
| pablo_ | starting* | 14:48 |
| pablo_ | the same thing with mysqld | 14:48 |
| VirtualBlackness | pablo_: throw the -f in there and do again | 14:48 |
| bingtan | Hi, thanks for replying. Just installed Ubuntu on my friends laptop, using the alternative installation. Was assuming it would partition the hard disk, but it hasn't and has wiped the entire hard disk to just leave Ubuntu. Is there any way of recovering data from the WIndows 7 install, even though it doesn't exist now? | 14:48 |
| pablo_ | did ubuntu move away form sys-v ? | 14:49 |
| ikonia | bingtan: it's gone | 14:49 |
| a_c_m_ | anyone a wizard at working how how init files work. Trying to set config options for "stud", but there is 0 docuemntation | 14:49 |
| ikonia | bingtan: it only wiped the disk because you told it to use the whole disk / didn't select partition options | 14:49 |
| K1rk|Work | bingtan: Not really any way that's worth the effort. | 14:49 |
| ikonia | pablo_: a long time ago, it moved to upstart | 14:49 |
| Captain_Proton | anyone know of a good opensource it manage software? One that has Vendor phone book, it system password, and ticket system. | 14:50 |
| pablo_ | i though upstart worked with the same commands as sys-v | 14:50 |
| VirtualBlackness | bingtan: I would use windows tools to recover the partition. | 14:50 |
| ikonia | pablo_: no, it's a different init system | 14:50 |
| action09 | mneptok sure | 14:50 |
| pablo_ | ikonia, how do u use it? | 14:50 |
| MarKsaitis | WHERE DO I TELL TO SAY THAT UBUNTU OFFICIAL SERVER GUIDE FOR 12.04 IS WRONG?! It even refers to 8.4, whereas 12.04 uses 9.1 . The guide is absolutelly useless. Whoom do I tell? | 14:50 |
| Aethelred | I need Compiz help. Recently upgraded to 10.04 (Lucid) x86_64. I have 4 desktops. I was previously able to switch desktops by driving my mouse to the right side of the monitor and moving the mouse wheel forward (or back) to move to a different desktop. That no longer works. Where are the settings to control this behaviour? | 14:50 |
| pablo_ | ikonia, i'm just tring to stop startng a service and i can't | 14:51 |
| bingtan | even if the partition was wiped essentially? | 14:51 |
| ikonia | pablo_: how are you trying to do that ? | 14:51 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: ouch, you're in trouble | 14:51 |
| ikonia | !upstart > pablo_ | 14:51 |
| ubottu | pablo_, please see my private message | 14:51 |
| pablo_ | ikonia, "sudo update-rc.d cups remove" | 14:51 |
| VirtualBlackness | bingtan: Yes... try Active Partition Recovery | 14:51 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: only thing you can do now is deliver the hard disk to companies that get payed well to try and recover data | 14:51 |
| MarKsaitis | what on earth are you thinking?! U didnt warn me. Come down. I am trying to tell somebody that the guide is wrong | 14:52 |
| ikonia | pablo_: so that should remove the the service from startup, | 14:52 |
| MarKsaitis | and I thin kthat is good | 14:52 |
| bingtan | it's a shame as ubuntu was meant to be a positive experience, but loosing the files has caused more problems than anything | 14:52 |
| Captain_Proton | Aethelred, you need to install ccsm and add that option in there | 14:52 |
| pablo_ | VictorCL, i tried -f, doeesn't work eitgher | 14:52 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: did you read carefully? I bet you didn't mate | 14:52 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: if you have found a bug with a document, log a bug in launchpad.net detailing it | 14:52 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: it will get assigned to the documentation / web docs team and get resolved once it's been validated | 14:52 |
| pablo_ | ikonia, it doesn't work | 14:52 |
| VirtualBlackness | bingtan: the installer only does what you tell it to do. Don't blame the OS because you overwrote your partition. | 14:52 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: it comprehensively informs you with huge buttons what is going to be done:) | 14:52 |
| ikonia | pablo_: define doesn't work | 14:52 |
| pablo_ | it keeps starting anyway | 14:52 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: but I understand your anger mate, let it out, haha:) | 14:52 |
| ikonia | pablo_: I see, I wonder if there is anything in the guide on this | 14:53 |
| MarKsaitis | why cant I log it thru irc? why does it need to be so painful? is that not good enough I checked it and found it? I dont know anything about launchpad | 14:53 |
| bingtan | Haha, in the alternative installer it doesn't really make it clear, from a newb's point of view ;) | 14:53 |
| ikonia | pablo_: https://help.ubuntu.com - worth checking if something has changed in the service | 14:53 |
| Aethelred | Captain_Proton: What is ccsm? Did I have it in 9.04 (Karmic) and have now lost it? I don't mind installing something new, but I'm skeptical that I need a new thing to retain behaviour I already had. | 14:53 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: that is the process, please follow it | 14:53 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: visit launchpad.net create an account, log the bug | 14:53 |
| pablo_ | ikonia, it so frustrating if the changed something so basic | 14:53 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: alternative installer? | 14:53 |
| pablo_ | s/if/when | 14:53 |
| MarKsaitis | ikonia, how long will it take for such bug to be fixed? | 14:54 |
| ikonia | pablo_: the init system has been progressing/developing since the initial change | 14:54 |
| DeathKnight | hi, how can i add other input methods in precise? I dont see options like I used to see in Lucid! | 14:54 |
| MonkeyDust | MarKsaitis there are procedures to follow | 14:54 |
| MarKsaitis | ok | 14:54 |
| bingtan | i mean the alternative disk, i used the ubuntu daily image | 14:54 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: depends on the attention it gets and the quality of the information you put in the bug | 14:54 |
| ikonia | bingtan: why did you do that | 14:54 |
| ikonia | bingtan: the daily image is an unstable build | 14:54 |
| w3bg33k | VirtualBlackness - the volume's definitely clean...I was using an account that has domain admin rights, and when that didn't work, i opened the directory up to everyone w/ full control (I know, bad security, but just testing). | 14:54 |
| bingtan | i thought with 12.04 out of the door the daily build would of stabalised... :( | 14:55 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: Once again you failed to read carefully, always backup before partitioning anyway | 14:55 |
| Captain_Proton | Aethelred, compizconfig-settings-manager Something must have install or change the setting in it | 14:55 |
| pablo_ | ikonia, anyway i want to do somehing so basic as don't start cupds anymore | 14:55 |
| DeathKnight | I cn't see any input methods except chinese in "keyboard input methods" :( | 14:55 |
| pablo_ | and i can't | 14:55 |
| sirriffsalot | bingtan: well now you know better:D How much data have you lost anyway? | 14:55 |
| sk1special | okay. i accidently hit one of the f keys when looking at something online and my ff windows now goes like..super full screen and the menu bar and all that goes away. how do i turn that back off? | 14:55 |
| pablo_ | and aparently nobody else does | 14:55 |
| VirtualBlackness | w3bg33k: chkdsk doesnt take a long time. Try it. | 14:55 |
| ikonia | pablo_: check the docs I linked to, see if something has changed | 14:55 |
| pablo_ | how the hell that happend | 14:55 |
| pablo_ | ? | 14:55 |
| ikonia | pablo_: it happens as the distribution moves on / develops | 14:55 |
| VirtualBlackness | w3bg33k: it is by far the most common reason. | 14:55 |
| Aethelred | Captain_Proton: Thank you for explaining. How can I tell if I already have it? | 14:56 |
| pablo_ | ikonia, the is not much documentation at the link u gave me, i very basic if u are an admin, do i have to unistall it to stop it????? | 14:56 |
| Aethelred | Captain_Proton: I see that I do have CCSM | 14:57 |
| sirriffsalot | A guide on getting libflash working through jack tells me I need "basic software development package"... what is this more precisely? | 14:57 |
| Aethelred | Captain_Proton: Which particular settings am I looking for? | 14:57 |
| missuse | anyone can explain this ? Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/ | 14:57 |
| ikonia | pablo_: there is a ton of information on that page, and it's not basic if you are an admin and know how to read / search for the information you want | 14:57 |
| Captain_Proton | Aethelred, I beleive that setting in desktop wall or desktop cube | 14:57 |
| ikonia | missuse: in what way explain it ? | 14:57 |
| * Aethelred checks | 14:57 | |
| missuse | why windows nt 6.1 and applewebkit | 14:57 |

| missuse | monkeydust , from a visitor | 14:58 |
| Captain_Proton | sk1special, in 11 and on yes but you can enable it if you like | 14:59 |
| MonkeyDust | lusuhard if you don't know, then you shouldnt | 14:59 |
| ikonia | missuse: it's just a html user agent tag | 14:59 |
| MarKsaitis | ikonia, on registration confirmation launchpad.net says Invalid OpenID transaction | 14:59 |
| ikonia | lusuhard: you can't do that | 14:59 |
| MarKsaitis | in a big white page..... ftw is wrong with all this clutter | 14:59 |
| sk1special | ahh. is it stable tho? ive got the screen saver as a backgroun d thing working thru xscreensaver ..and i wanted to do a cube version..but it took forever to get my nvidia working correctly | 15:00 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: create an account and login to that account | 15:00 |
| MonkeyDust | missuse apparently it was a visitpr who uses win NT | 15:00 |
| MarKsaitis | ikonia, i did create and then tried to bverify and this is what I got | 15:00 |
| missuse | ikonia why windos and applewebkit go togther ? | 15:00 |
| ikonia | missuse: it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 15:00 |
| ikonia | missuse: so nothing to do with this channel | 15:00 |
| lusuhard | theorically...?? | 15:00 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: have you got an email confirming your account has been created ? | 15:00 |
| MarKsaitis | ikonia, anyways, managed to get thru somehow | 15:00 |
| MonkeyDust | missuse better ask in ##windows | 15:01 |
| MarKsaitis | I did. Its fine now, ehn I did manual login instead of this automatic redir | 15:01 |
| MarKsaitis | ikonia, when im in, where do I create this bug | 15:01 |
| missuse | 99 percent of freenode chatroom are lock | 15:01 |
| Captain_Proton | sk1special, I think so Ubuntu employs the only compiz dev. But I do not use so.. give it a try if you don't like it disable again | 15:01 |
| Aethelred | Captain_Proton: I see it now. Desktop Wall is enabled (Cube is not enabled). My bindings seem to already be set correctly (Move Left - <RightEdge>button4). But the behaviour isn't working. | 15:02 |
| MonkeyDust | missuse you have to register your nickname | 15:02 |
| ikonia | !bug | MarKsaitis | 15:02 |
| ubottu | MarKsaitis: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 15:02 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: sorry, that was the wrong factoid | 15:02 |
| MarKsaitis | ? | 15:02 |

| MarKsaitis | ubuntu-bug | 15:03 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 15:03 |
| Aethelred | Captain_Proton: I believe that to be Mouse Button 4 (wheel-up and wheel-down are 4 and 5) | 15:04 |
| ikonia | MarKsaitis: there you go, that's the right url, sorry | 15:04 |
| Captain_Proton | Aethelred, so basicly you are saying when I am it @ the right edge and hit button4 += move left | 15:05 |
| Aranel | after 12.04 upgrade now I'm unable to start plasma-desktop, could anyone help me? | 15:05 |
| luwei | join #backtrack-linux | 15:05 |
| Captain_Proton | Aethelred, i would reset the binding that are givein you problem and see if that helps | 15:05 |
| Aethelred | Captain_Proton: Yes. Move to the next desktop (viewport?) left ... or next right for mousewheel the other way. | 15:06 |
| Aethelred | Captain_Proton: Will try. Thank you. | 15:06 |
| morsnowski | if i hold down the mouse wheel i get to rotate 'the window' but it is like turning a sheet rather than a cube, how do i make it a cube ? | 15:06 |
| sirriffsalot | Could someone tell me what the exact name of the current alsa development libraries is? | 15:06 |
| MonkeyDust | nbpk6413 | 15:08 |
| Captain_Proton | morsnowski, install compizconfig-settings-manager and change the setting in there | 15:08 |
| morsnowski | what setting, i've turned on the cube, dektop cube and cube gears | 15:09 |
| MonkeyDust | sirriffsalot fastest is if you looked in synaptic, search for alsa | 15:09 |
| sirriffsalot | MonkeyDust: I have, for so many different things.. but I get confused as to what is what, and I can't find the alsa package either... | 15:09 |
| Captain_Proton | morsnowski, did you assign key bindings? | 15:09 |
| sirriffsalot | Is it the "alsa-lib" or "alsa-dev"? Either way I can't find them | 15:09 |
| morsnowski | well no but like said i get it to turn, but it shows as a flat pane with two sides | 15:10 |
| Captain_Proton | morsnowski, sorry misunderstood you need to add two more desktops. you running 12.04 | 15:12 |
| morsnowski | yes i do, i have now 4 workspaces activated | 15:13 |
| luwei | help | 15:14 |
| Captain_Proton | morsnowski, strange it flips like a piece of paper when only there 2 desktops. do you have dual monitors? | 15:15 |
| morsnowski | nope just single one | 15:16 |
| MonkeyDust | luwei go ahead, help how? | 15:16 |

| Dr_willis | nydel, you can run 2 seperate X sessions, one per each monitor.. but ive never really needed to do that. why do you want to? | 15:42 |
| Dr_willis | nydel, its not the same as 2 workspaces.. its 2 'desktop sessions; | 15:42 |
| nydel | Dr_willis: i'm watching tv on one & working on the computer on the other | 15:43 |
| Dr_willis | nydel, with a tv program on the pc? | 15:43 |
| nydel | media files in vlc fullscreen | 15:43 |
| Dr_willis | nydel, so... why not just drag it over to the 2nd monitor? | 15:43 |
| nydel | but all my windows keep popping up in the middle of the combined space so it's super inconvenient | 15:43 |
| duckxx | so this is getting anonying... i have to constantly do cd ../../../../../ is there a way where i can just click on the path and it will just goto the directory without all those cd's | 15:44 |

I believe i could go with ubuntu-desktop, but frankly i dont really need the whoel default install | 15:45 |
| Dr_willis | alayola, if you have a low end machine. you may want to use lubuntu/lxde | 15:46 |

| obelus | Tjololo12: If you don't want to run anything else except one program, I'm pretty sure Ubuntu fits fine in a 5Gb with a bit of room to spare, but I'd usually go with 8. Most VM software lets you have 'dynamic disks' though, so you could set it large (16+GB) and it would only expand for the space it needed | 15:51 |
| sogeking99 | I rebooted and now I can't boot Linux at all. it takes me to a black screen and I have to press CTRL + D to go back to the boot select. I tried recovery mode and tried repairing broken packages and fail safe mode. | 15:51 |

| obelus | . | 15:53 |
| intore | am using pam_mount, do you think is better using pam_mount? | 15:53 |
| obelus | Sorry. Cat stood on my keyboard. | 15:53 |
| Dr_willis | xapel, virtualbox has network settings where your vm gets an ip on the local lan just like a real machine could. You can then port forward or watever to it. | 15:53 |
| Captain_Proton | duckxx, sorry it midnight commander | 15:53 |
| duckxx | Captain_Proton, oh but thats not wat i want.. i dont want a gui replacment of the terminal. but i just want to find a faster way to navigate thru folders without having to do cd ../../../ | 15:53 |
| crappycomputerow | the problem is i have downloaded the iso using transmission when i got to make the disk and put the iso on the usb from the downloads folder it wont go | 15:53 |

| Dr_willis | midnight commander - is handy. :) | 15:54 |
| intore | VirtualBlackness, am sorry, autofs? | 15:54 |
| Tjololo12 | obelus: yeah, but virtualbox needs some major fenangling to make virtual machines that are compatible with vmware products. And, my work gives me vmware license XD It was just a PITA to install and get running. | 15:54 |
| Dr_willis | sirriffsalot, you may need some videodev 'dev' packages. but that may be a kernel dev package also.. hard to tell/ | 15:54 |
| Dr_willis | !find videodev.h | 15:54 |
| ubottu | File videodev.h found in libv4l-dev, linux-doc | 15:54 |

| Dr_willis | sirriffsalot, try libv4l-dev ;) | 15:55 |
| sirriffsalot | Guess I'll try and remove try and remove | 15:55 |
| obelus | Tjololo12: Ah, lucky. Anyway, yeah, you can just use dynamic disks, so you shouldnt have to worry about getting the space just right, just leave it at the default size VMWare has for ubuntu and you should be fine | 15:55 |
| crappycomputerow | i dont have to extract the file or anything first do i , or program rather | 15:55 |

| sirriffsalot | JonEdney: Once you've done that you can right-click the file and open something called "archive manager" and click "extract" | 16:07 |

| qubuntu | Dr_willis now the only thing that i don't understand is, whenever I do alt-ctrl-f1 the whole computer will go black and i have to force restart. -_- | 16:19 |
| === trial is now known as akshaydixi | ||
| morsnowski | Dr_willis, that's ok it can brake unity all it's want. it's disabled anyway :) | 16:19 |
| Dr_willis | tomasm-, right now i got unity and awn going. with awn at the bottom for the fancy stuff. | 16:19 |
| Dr_willis | qubuntu, ive seen some video drivers mess with the framebuffer console and make it unuseable. i had to disable the framebuffer in ages past to get around that. | 16:20 |
| Dr_willis | qubuntu, if you alt-ctrl-f7 it should go back to the X display. | 16:20 |
| kyubutsu | i just use dash for everything and alt-tab for app switching , works | 16:20 |
| makerbreaker_spy | I have a master ISO, it is written to a thumbdrive, the thubdrive is bootable | 16:20 |
| makerbreaker_spy | how would you guys write the thumbdrive ot the hard drive of the server, so the server boots up correctly | 16:21 |
| makerbreaker_spy | w/o using dd? | 16:21 |
| Dr_willis | makerbreaker_spy, you did a full install to the thumb drive? | 16:21 |
| qubuntu | Dr_willis i just did alt-ctrl-f1 and then a black screen appeared, after doing alt-ctrl-f7 it went away. wow. thanks! | 16:21 |
| morsnowski | no logging in again didn't fix it either, i'll trail the forums for a while | 16:21 |
| makerbreaker_spy | dr_willis, yes | 16:21 |
| makerbreaker_spy | it is a "live" workable system | 16:21 |
| Dr_willis | qubuntu, f1-f6 = consoles f7 = X. | 16:21 |
| Dr_willis | makerbreaker_spy, live is not the same as a normal 'full' install. | 16:22 |
| makerbreaker_spy | its ubuntu 12 server edition | 16:22 |
| makerbreaker_spy | sorry, full install | 16:22 |
| qubuntu | so i'll never be able to us a console for some reason. :| | 16:22 |
| makerbreaker_spy | I just need to image the USB drive, to the hard drive, in the simplest way possible | 16:22 |
| Dr_willis | i just used dd last time to clone a 16gb usb flash to several other pcs hds makerbreaker_spy , then used gparted to resize the filesystems. | 16:22 |
| VirtualBlackness | qubuntu: sounds like a driver issue. What is the gpu | 16:22 |
| === hari_ is now known as harikt | ||
| makerbreaker_spy | dr_willis, I need to avoid using dd the techs I hae doing the insallations are dubm | 16:23 |
| makerbreaker_spy | dumb* | 16:23 |
| Dr_willis | boot flash.. use dd to clone to hd.. reboot. | 16:23 |
| makerbreaker_spy | dr_willis, that is what I have been doing | 16:23 |
| Dr_willis | makerbreaker_spy, worse case they erase the flash? so make a backup of it... | 16:23 |
| tomasm- | Dr_willis, so you need to use a totally separate dock/tray because unity's doesn't allow customize anything? | 16:23 |
| Dr_willis | or make a script on the flash for them to run. | 16:23 |
| makerbreaker_spy | ya, right, they erased the flash, but I need to ship out new ones | 16:23 |
| Dr_willis | tomasm-, i just like awn. for my task changer.. | 16:23 |
| makerbreaker_spy | woudl you just parse the output of fdisk -l in the script? | 16:23 |
| Dr_willis | plus i got tons-o-moitor space. ;) | 16:24 |
| qubuntu | VirtualBlackness I'm using Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) version rather than the recommended one. | 16:24 |
| makerbreaker_spy | or is there an easier mechanism to figure out wich is the USB and which is the HD? | 16:24 |
| phunyguy | makerbreaker_spy: ddrescue | 16:24 |
| Dr_willis | wonder if they make usb flsh with write protect switches.. ;) | 16:24 |
| Dr_willis | I bet someone does.. | 16:24 |
| makerbreaker_spy | dr_willis, they are out there, but microcenter doesnt have htem | 16:25 |
| makerbreaker_spy | heh | 16:25 |
| Dr_willis | ive seen some pcs switch sda to be whatever flash they booted from.. seen others not do that.. so it can get complex. | 16:25 |
| kyubutsu | 3.5 floppies have it | 16:25 |
| Dr_willis | kyubutsu, i bought a usb flash that was write protected.. with no switch.. :) had to take it back. it was defective | 16:26 |
| makerbreaker_spy | dr_willis, right, thats my issue, I wrote directions that said "run fdisk -l" figure out which is the smaller drive, and put that after the if= | 16:26 |
| makerbreaker_spy | .....that didnt work tooo well | 16:26 |
| pibarnas1 | makerbreaker_spy: dmesg | fgrep USB | tail -10 's too hard? | 16:26 |
| Dr_willis | blkid may be a better tool then fdisk -l | 16:26 |
| phunyguy | makerbreaker_spy: hire new techs. If they are working with linux, then they need to be worth the money you pay. | 16:26 |
| kyubutsu | Dr_willis: thats so government-like anyway | 16:27 |
| makerbreaker_spy | I dont have controll over that | 16:27 |
| VirtualBlackness | makerbreaker_spy: I guess you could... use clonezilla to make an image to be dropped on the server drive, and install bootable clonezilla to the USB key with the image. | 16:27 |
| Dr_willis | blkid may be easier for the script to parse also.. if you use a spefific label for the flash. | 16:27 |
| VirtualBlackness | Then there is no messing anything up, and you have idiot windows asking questions... | 16:27 |
| Dr_willis | VirtualBlackness, thats fancy ;) | 16:27 |
| Dr_willis | i need to look into clonezilla someday | 16:28 |
| VirtualBlackness | makerbreaker_spy: you could also do distributed installs that way :) | 16:28 |
| qubuntu | VirtualBlackness do you think the problem is that i should be using the recommended Nvidia driver instead of the post-release driver? | 16:28 |
| Dr_willis | qubuntu, ive never had the post-release driver work. ;) | 16:28 |
| VirtualBlackness | Dr_willis: Yes. Clonezilla is magic. Have no idea how much time it has saved me. | 16:28 |
| VirtualBlackness | qubuntu: very likely. | 16:29 |
| phunyguy | is post-release the beta? and if so, why dont they just call it Beta? | 16:29 |
| qubuntu | ok Dr_willis and VirtualBlackness i'll just install the other one then. | 16:29 |
| kyubutsu | qubuntu: dont overthink it. you say it working now. let it be | 16:29 |
| qubuntu | kyubutsu but the console doesn't come up and i really want to figure out why. | 16:29 |
| Dr_willis | qubuntu, you could disable the framebuffer for the console i think you use the 'nofb' option in /etc/default/grub | 16:30 |
| Dr_willis | but ive noticed the framebuffer acting differntly in 12.04 then earlier relasees here. | 16:30 |
| kyubutsu | well.. curiosity kills cat. but, i bet you know this | 16:30 |
| Narc | Sorry to ask again but I need some help here, I can't for the life of me get a Ubuntu Install USB Key to boot on a friend's iMac... I tried a lot of things, to no avail. The best I achieved was to get rEFIt to see a Windows partition on which I dd the whole USB stick, but booting from it gives me a "Non system disk" or "isonlinux.bin missing" message. How can I copy the install image to a partition to boot from ? Any help ? Thanks a lot | 16:30 |
| Dr_willis | the console is not filling out my whole monitor like it used to | 16:30 |
| qubuntu | okay Dr_willis i'll try that after switching to the other Nvidia driver. thanks. | 16:30 |
| qubuntu | brb. | 16:31 |
| phunyguy | Narc, not sure that is a supported configuration. | 16:31 |
| isabel | hi, i have ubuntu 12.04 installed on my laptop with 512mb ram and 502mb swap space. The problem is my swap space is just getting fuller and fuller, eg memory usage is at 40% and swap space is at 60%, is there a way of tweaking this? | 16:31 |
| phunyguy | isabel, sounds like it is working as it should. | 16:32 |
| Dr_willis | isabel, ive found it best to let linux handle memory.... it knows best. | 16:32 |
| Dr_willis | moar ram would defiantly help your system | 16:32 |
| Narc | phunyguy: The Ubuntu wiki says it is I think. Install from USB seems to be compatible with Intel Macs.. | 16:32 |
| phunyguy | defiantly... lol. | 16:32 |
| phunyguy | Narc, but use at your own risk | 16:33 |
| isabel | i hear you guys, but after a while swap space is 100% and it looks like ubuntu is hanging | 16:33 |
| phunyguy | no? | 16:33 |
| xapel | Dr_Willis: Thanx, will look into it | 16:33 |
| kyubutsu | 512mb of memory! a pocket calculator has more ram than that! | 16:33 |
| VirtualBlackness | Narc there is a mac specific iso... I dont know if that is for PPC or what... though. Might investigate | 16:33 |
| phunyguy | isabel, try a lighter distro. | 16:33 |
| phunyguy | lubuntu, or xubuntu | 16:33 |
| kyubutsu | am kinda surprised 12.04 can work with that even | 16:34 |
| isabel | thanks maybe i must do that | 16:34 |
| Dr_willis | Lubuntu is very nice. :) | 16:34 |
| kyubutsu | yes you must | 16:34 |
| phunyguy | isabel I would try xubuntu first | 16:34 |
| phunyguy | but lubuntu is definitely lighter. | 16:34 |
| isabel | why wat is the dif | 16:34 |
| kyubutsu | xfce or lxde | 16:35 |
| phunyguy | try each one out. Lubuntu definitely lacks features that regular ubuntu brings, and Xubuntu has most features without all the eye candy. | 16:35 |
| isabel | 12.04 is running not bad in the laptop, for 512mb mem | 16:35 |
| VirtualBlackness | one is a sportscar one is a motorcyle. | 16:35 |
| qubuntu | okay Dr_willis changing to recommended driver didn't work. i'll try disabling framebuffer. i'm in terminal right now, so what do i enter? | 16:35 |
| isabel | all i need is libre office, internet, skype, thats it | 16:36 |
| phunyguy | VirtualBlackness: ubuntu = sports car, xubuntu = motorcycle, lubuntu = moped. | 16:36 |
| kyubutsu | if you are used to gnome, xubuntu will feel more like it imo | 16:36 |
| Narc | VirtualBlackness: I think there isn't any mac specific ISO, since they use Intel. The wiki don't mention any. | 16:36 |
| phunyguy | Narc, the issue lies with the mac, and not ubuntu. | 16:36 |
| * VirtualBlackness thinks of ubuntu/unity more of a station waggon... but to each their own | 16:36 | |
| phunyguy | which is probably beyond the scope of this channel | 16:36 |
| VirtualBlackness | one second narc | 16:37 |

| VirtualBlackness | Narc: that is PPC. Grab an iso from the link I gave you. | 16:46 |
| Alex__ | then when I assign hidden or visible through javascript the same code will return the expected value | 16:46 |

| escott | Lutsen, if you have ecryptfs I would recommend rebooting the livecd and performing the copy there | 17:27 |
| Dr_willis | but for a 3 yr+ old media player. it plays most every file i cen throw at it.. it even plays dvd iso files. | 17:28 |
| eli0_ | Dr_willis sure, it says Cannot join to channel #php (You must be invited) | 17:28 |
| Lutsen | Follow the same instructions but from within the live cd? | 17:28 |
| Dr_willis | eli0_, i imagone thats not ment to be a php support channel then. you my want to ask in #freenode ans check out the alis bot. | 17:29 |
| Dr_willis | !alis | eli0_ | 17:29 |
| ubottu | eli0_: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 17:29 |
| Myrtti | eli0_: you're already on ##php then | 17:29 |
| kyubutsu | eli0_: look in the channel list see who admin and ask | 17:29 |
| escott | Lutsen, basically. important thing is to get your ecryptfs user logged off the computer before performing the copy | 17:29 |

| truemove | good rewiew of unity :D | 17:30 |
| eli0_ | ok thanks guys i'll try all ur advices | 17:31 |
| kyubutsu | the advice was same in three different ways though | 17:32 |
| kyubutsu | linux voodoo | 17:32 |
| === o0o0o is now known as b1O83R | ||
| Lutsen | Oh, I get it. Thanks. Another question. Right now /home is on a primary partition. Can it be mounted in an extended partition instead? And would it have to be owned by a particular user (such as root)? I'm trying to do this because I have reached the limit on how many primary partitions I can have and want to install a second distro to dual boot with. (Or perhaps can the second distro boot from within an extended partition and just use t | 17:32 |
| Dr_willis | Lutsen, you could have made the /home/ parton a logical partion Inside an extended... | 17:33 |
| Lutsen | That's what I'm asking about. It will mount just fine from there? | 17:34 |
| Dr_willis | Lutsen, the files/dirs in /home/USERNAME are owned by the user in question. | 17:34 |
| Qalqi | this world would have been a been a better place if only irc people were more sympathetic | 17:34 |
| Dr_willis | Lutsen, you can use primary or logicals howefer you want. | 17:34 |
| Lutsen | Cool, thanks ya'll! | 17:34 |
| kyubutsu | it just a matter of creating the new partition. data wont mind what you call it | 17:35 |
| Dr_willis | rember however.. 4 primary partions MAX.. one of which can be an extended, that holds more logicals. | 17:35 |
| killtrace | can u delete swap partition and I have 4 Gb ram mmemory | 17:35 |
| kyubutsu | hierarchy | 17:35 |
| Dr_willis | killtrace, you could.. but i wouldent suggest it. | 17:36 |
| kyubutsu | killtrace: yes, but, highly not recommended | 17:36 |
| escott | Lutsen, /home itself should be owned by root | 17:36 |
| killtrace | ok, i wanna buy 8gb and ssd .. what about wear level? | 17:37 |
| killtrace | of ssd? | 17:37 |
| kapz | I need help choosing a laptop...where can I look? | 17:37 |
| Dr_willis | kapz, check out the various linux laptop sales web sites - and see what they got. :) | 17:38 |
| kyubutsu | probably online too | 17:38 |
| kapz | Dr_willis, in my country there are no special linux laptops marketed...so need major brands.. | 17:38 |
| Dr_willis | kapz, i belive system76 ships worldwide.. and you can see what brands they are rebranding... | 17:39 |
| kapz | I acyually just need a laptop with dedicated GPU..unlike nvidia optimus | 17:39 |
| kapz | is that so...will check now! | 17:39 |
| jameslord | hi all | 17:39 |
| jameslord | why u guys choose ubuntu? | 17:39 |
| kyubutsu | !poll | 17:39 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:39 |
| jameslord | ok | 17:40 |
| kyubutsu | jameslord: you can try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic , more suited | 17:41 |
| kapz | oh well system76 does not offer any dedicated GPU... :( | 17:42 |
| schultza | im having problems installing a printer to cups... i think it's a driver issue. i have a MFC-8690DW | 17:43 |
| Lutsen | More than one partition can be set to boot, right? If a second OS is in a logical partition, do I just set it to boot and it will show up alongside the original one on the grub menu? | 17:45 |
| Dr_willis | Lutsen, linux can boot from extended/logicals.. windows7 can also i belive.. older windows.. i think needs primary | 17:46 |
| Dr_willis | Lutsen, grub will scan and show all the os's that os-prober can detect | 17:46 |
| Lutsen | Thanks, you folks have been very helpful (and prompt!). | 17:47 |
| coder2 | how to disable the launch of orca at login in 10.04?? | 17:47 |
| paopao | how to install win7+ubuntu+debian, I have installed win7+ubuntu on my computer, I want to install debian through hard disc, but when I installed it, I was told that no .iso file was detected | 17:49 |
| pgib | Hello. I'm trying out Unity, but there is something that really pisses me off about it. Whenever I maximize a window, the window is ALWAYS maximized to my second monitor. It doesn't matter which monitor the window originally resided on. I think it would be a lot better if the window would expand to the monitor it currently lies on. Any ideas on how to change this behavior? | 17:50 |
| Dr_willis | paopao, 'throgh hard disk' meaning what exactly? | 17:50 |
| Dr_willis | pgib, whats your vdeo card? | 17:50 |
| kapz | okay can someone tell me how is the ati gpu support on linux? | 17:51 |
| kyubutsu | paopao: burn your debian version to CD and install as usual, easy | 17:51 |
| Dr_willis | pgib, mine expands to whatever monitor its on. Using nvidia+twinview | 17:51 |
| coder2 | How to disable orca in ubuntu 10.04 at login??? | 17:51 |
| Dr_willis | kapz, id suggest going Nvidia or Intel over ati. | 17:51 |

| kapz | Dr_willis, yeah well nvidia has only optimus cards which are not supported on linux... | 17:52 |
| vg-loc | can any one help me i'm new to linux (ubuntu) | 17:52 |
| pgib | yes. I've been stopping lightdm, making sure X isn't running, then restarting lightdm | 17:52 |

| coder2 | Dr_willis, how to disable the launch of orca at login in 10.04??Can you help me?? | 17:57 |
| Dr_willis | vg-loc, you dont use su to get to root on ubuntu. | 17:57 |
| vg-loc | it just simly asks password !! | 17:57 |
| Dr_willis | coder2, no idea. i never use it.. check askubuntu.com perhaps | 17:58 |
| Dr_willis | vg-loc, you use sudo as needed to get root access.. not 'su' | 17:58 |
| coder2 | Dr_willis, okay thanks | 17:58 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, when you type su it logs you in as root, you do not have a root password | 17:58 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, you need to type 'su then your admin account name' | 17:58 |
| phunyguy | does anyone have ubuntu installed on a mac with the thunderbolt interface? | 17:58 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, for example 'su vg-loc' then hit enter, then you will be prompted for the apssword | 17:58 |
| fidel_ | i am still wondering what vg-loc is trying to do in the first place | 17:59 |
| OerHeks | su ? | 17:59 |
| kkrauss | Dr_willis, you have any thoughts on my error? | 17:59 |
| vg-loc | thanks guys | 17:59 |
| Dr_willis | fidel_, yea. :) i was wondering that also. | 17:59 |
| phunyguy | if so, how did you do it? | 17:59 |
| fidel_ | there wasnt any real problem description or similar | 17:59 |
| kyubutsu | what's that method of installing ubuntu within Windows? | 17:59 |
| rsrs | hello folks! | 17:59 |
| vg-loc | do u have any suggestions for me like tips and tricks for what ive have to learn ? | 17:59 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, but also its rare you need to just use su, you typiecally do sudo | 17:59 |

| === SETKEHS-CAT is now known as setkeh | ||
| kkrauss | vg-loc, when you use sudo you dont need to use your name | 18:00 |
| vg-loc | sudo what is it used for ? | 18:00 |
| phunyguy | vg-loc: it stands for super-user-do | 18:00 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, alot of your desktop applications will just prompt you, so if you are a noob you will probably not use terminal a ton, but as you get better sudo will become common place | 18:00 |
| vg-loc | and what abt apt ? | 18:00 |
| rsrs | have this annoying little problem in precise, wonder if you guys have come across it. It's not a show stopper by any means but is annoying enough. after i log in, i'm unable to select a vpn connection from the nmapplet dropdown | 18:01 |
| lelamal | kyubutsu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 18:01 |
| phunyguy | so you type that, then the command and it runs with elevated priveleges | 18:01 |
| fidel_ | vg-loc: consider reading this - http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - and be sure you'll get much easier help afterwards. right now its pretty difficult to help | 18:01 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, sudo stands for super user do, it raises your permissions so that you can do things you need admin access to do | 18:01 |
| kyubutsu | vg-loc: gives a program or command superuser priviledges , use with care | 18:01 |

| paperbagblues | Im trying to install airecrack-ng suite. i run sudo apt-get install build-essential and it tells me 'Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120423)' | 18:01 |
| paperbagblues | in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter | 18:01 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, lets say I want to edit my .bashrc file so I an add an alias, if I just open it up and edit, when I try to save it will say I dont have priviledges | 18:02 |
| vg-loc | can i ask any question when i'm stuck or have any doubts ?? | 18:02 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: your package-management still has the install cd as source defined | 18:02 |
| pgib | Dr_willis, just tried changing the primary screen. Same stupid issue. I also tried "Ubuntu 2D" but in this mode - maximizing causes the window to span the entire twinview area (as if it was just a single monitor). I guess no Unity for me :( | 18:02 |
| fidel_ | so - it does not queries the internet for package informations but prefers the maybe not existing install-medium | 18:02 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, but if I type sudo pico .bashrc, with pico being an editor, I will be prompted for a password and have permissions to write to it. | 18:02 |
| Osakasa | Hello, slightly of topic but www.ubuntu.com advertises ubuntu on android. Is there already a working version or is this future feature and still working on it? | 18:02 |
| paperbagblues | but i installed with a usb, i don't have a cd | 18:02 |
| vg-loc | so what password do u type ? | 18:03 |
| Dr_willis | pgib, only time ive seen spaning both monitors was with badly written java apps. but ive not done 2 monitos in ages | 18:03 |
| buttons1 | question: trying to insert into cron to run every day at 3PM will this work: * 15 * * * root comand? | 18:03 |
| fidel_ | kkrauss: there is no need for editing the owns users -.bashrc with sudo in the first place | 18:03 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, yes but take it from personal experience sometimes it takes a while to find the right person with the right answers, I am not that far ahead of you, and have been on here for days fixing small fires with my system | 18:03 |
| Dr_willis | vg-loc, sudo will want the users lasswprd. | 18:03 |
| Dr_willis | password | 18:03 |
| pgib | this is gnome-terminal, I think it should behave properly | 18:03 |
| Dr_willis | pgib, check askubuntu.com see of others have similer issue. | 18:03 |
| Dr_willis | I dont have a dual monitor setup handy to check. try in a simple window manager like icewm perhaps? | 18:04 |
| vg-loc | so r u guys always online ?? | 18:04 |
| kyubutsu | vg-loc: in other words, sudo asks YOUR user password | 18:04 |
| kkrauss | fidel_, I was giving him an example that if he tried to repeat would cause him no harm | 18:04 |
| kkrauss | fidel_, the point was made :) | 18:04 |
| pgib | man.. I've wasted almost two days on this. I've tried just about everything people mention on the forums. I think I'm just going to use fluxbox or something until gnome or unity get their act in gear | 18:04 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, there is always some one in here since ive been coming the last few days | 18:04 |
| escott | buttons1, you dont want * 15 you want 0 15 | 18:04 |
| vg-loc | like the password with which i login | 18:04 |
| kyubutsu | yes | 18:05 |
| buttons1 | I saw that after reading more thanks | 18:05 |
| kyubutsu | !sudo > vg-loc | 18:05 |
| ubottu | vg-loc, please see my private message | 18:05 |
| fidel_ | vg-loc: for what specific action do you need sudo permissions right now in the first place if i may ask? | 18:05 |
| kkrauss | but there is also a ton of people at times so your question might get unintentionally ignored for a while or no one will know the answers. I am still waiting in hopes some one can tell me whats causing my x boot up error | 18:05 |
| fidel_ | is it about understanding sudo in general - or about doing something in specific? | 18:05 |
| vg-loc | for installing some stuff | 18:05 |
| vg-loc | like xchatt for an instance | 18:05 |
| paperbagblues | Fidel_ so how do i change your package-management to something besides the cd | 18:06 |
| fAz4 | what's the Unity IRC ? | 18:06 |
| kyubutsu | you dont need sudo for that | 18:06 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, if you are using a desktop environment | 18:06 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, what distor of ubuntu are you using? 12.04? | 18:06 |
| fidel_ | vg-loc: using the major account - in terminal: sudo apt-get install xchat | 18:06 |
| kkrauss | *distro* | 18:06 |
| vg-loc | i'm using ubuntu 12.04 | 18:06 |
| kkrauss | am I the only one who prevers aptitude over apt-get | 18:06 |
| fidel_ | this will tell the application 'apt' to get & install the package 'xchat' using admin privileges | 18:06 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc ok well guess what ubuntu has simplified things | 18:07 |
| Dr_willis | kkrauss, not really.. aptitude is slowly getting deperciated and has issues i hear. | 18:07 |
| Dr_willis | !aptitude | 18:07 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 18:07 |
| fidel_ | it will ask for the user-password - your user you created while install has the permission to run 'sudo' actions | 18:07 |
| Welagor | hello, i need help please, i have two gateway in two different subnet and when I try ping from my second network, i get destination not unreachable but i have the good route.. | 18:07 |
| fidel_ | so the cmd above will ask for the password of your current user most likely | 18:07 |
| fAz4 | where to report Unity Bugs ? | 18:07 |
| vg-loc | but after u type sudo apt-get install xchat what should i do to save the app ? | 18:07 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, just use ubuntu's software cente,r type xchat then install it, it will prompt you for your password, then let it install; and you are done | 18:07 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: edit your apt sources file | 18:07 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: either manual via cli - or using a fronted for it | 18:08 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, hold on man, fidel is right but you are totally new to this, do i through the desktop environment, you will have plenty of time to learn the terminal | 18:08 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: basic file is: /etc/apt/sources.list most likely | 18:08 |
| paperbagblues | fidel_ would i change the source to the usb flah drive? | 18:08 |
| coder2 | exit | 18:08 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: you should use online sources | 18:08 |
| fidel_ | to get always the latest versions | 18:08 |
| kyubutsu | vg-loc: use Software Center for installing applications | 18:08 |
| fidel_ | at least if you have a working internet-connection | 18:09 |
| vg-loc | so is it installed all by itself ? | 18:09 |
| vg-loc | but i dont fin it anywhere and i have to download it from software center | 18:09 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, you are using the unity shell, on the left hand side of yours creen you should see a bunch of icons, one of them is a gear with a wrench over it, above that should be like a bag with things coming out of the top of it that is the software center. click on that, type in xchat and search, and bam | 18:09 |
| leto_ | newbie question: say there is a new point release of a software obtained from the ubuntu software center. does the app get updated automatically? or would i have to download the new version again? | 18:09 |

| paperbagblues | i just typed edit /etc/apt/sources.list interminal | 18:10 |
| paperbagblues | err pico /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:10 |
| fidel_ | vg-loc: you should use your package-managent | 18:10 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, there is no downloading from firefox, you arent listening | 18:10 |
| fidel_ | not download things manually | 18:10 |
| kyubutsu | vg-loc: firefox is installed by default in ubuntu | 18:11 |

| fidel_ | paperbagblues: well - used to commenting conf files? | 18:11 |
| vg-loc | sry i did not follow u can u list it again | 18:11 |
| paperbagblues | fidel_: not really should i just add a # in front of the cdrom line | 18:11 |
| vg-loc | ?? | 18:11 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: yes | 18:12 |
| kyubutsu | vg-loc: scroll up | 18:12 |
| pratz | hey guys how can i display the beep sound in ubuntu 12.04 | 18:12 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, on the let hand side of your desktop, you have a series if icons, one of them looks like a gear with a wrench over it, above that is a bag with a handle and thigns coming out the top, that is the software center, click on that | 18:12 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: now copy the entire content of this file to an online service like poastebin | 18:12 |
| fidel_ | lets check together if you have any other sources defined | 18:12 |
| vg-loc | so even for crome i have to surf at software center ?? | 18:12 |
| kkrauss | dude | 18:13 |
| kkrauss | I thought you wanted to get xchat | 18:13 |
| kkrauss | one step at a time | 18:13 |
| fidel_ | vg-loc: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 18:13 |
| fidel_ | read that please ;) | 18:13 |
| Dr_willis | crawl, walk, run,, and in linux.... fly..... | 18:13 |
| kkrauss | the software center is like a graphical front end for apt-get, it just simplifies thigns for you, this is one of ubuntus selling points. | 18:13 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: ? | 18:13 |
| paperbagblues | fidel i saved it and ran the sudo apt-get install build-essential | 18:13 |
| kkrauss | fidel_, a little mean, but spot on lol | 18:14 |
| paperbagblues | again it worked | 18:14 |
| wookey_ | since I upgrade to 12.04 I've had several keyboard freezes. It's just done it for 2nd time today | 18:14 |
| wookey_ | mouse still works | 18:14 |
| Dr_willis | software center => android (or other os's market) They are stealing our ideas! ;P | 18:14 |
| fidel_ | kkrauss: its helpful at the end | 18:14 |
| wookey_ | loggin out of xsession seems to fix it | 18:14 |
| kkrauss | vg-loc, i am trying to show you the software center, because most of any programs you would want you can get in there in a very simplified manner. As you get better and learn more there will be exceptions of course but like Dr_willis just sayd, crawl, walk, run then fly. Stop trying to fly. | 18:14 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: could you still show us the sources file? | 18:14 |
| wookey_ | anyone know how to poke keyboard (sshing in from another machine) or what might be wrong? | 18:15 |
| fidel_ | just to make sure it's somehow right | 18:15 |
| paperbagblues | yeah as soon a si fig out how to copy all the txt | 18:15 |
| Dr_willis | wookey_, check dmesg output, ive never heard of a keyboard freezing up. | 18:15 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: you could open it in a visual editor | 18:15 |
| paperbagblues | fidel_ kk | 18:15 |
| pratz | hey guys how can i disable the beep sound in ubuntu 12.04 | 18:15 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, i thought it was disabled by default.. which beep do you mean? | 18:15 |
| pratz | Dr_willis: open up the terminal and press backspace | 18:16 |
| kkrauss | I have a noob question about unity myself. Two actually. First what happend to alt f10, it doesnt maximize windows anymore. And is there a way to prevent maximized windows from docking with the menu bar? | 18:16 |
| wookey_ | there are a lot of "nit: ureadahead-other main process (32345) terminated with status 127 | 18:16 |
| wookey_ | messages. no idea if that's relevent | 18:16 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, no beeping here.. | 18:16 |
| fidel_ | paperbagblues: i.e. using: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:17 |

| Dr_willis | pratz, each termal app can have its own setting. :) in gnome-termianl its disabled here by default. in the default profile. | 18:22 |

| hankenkaye | hi guys just installed my first ubuntu os. last night just want to know if we do have mmorpg for ubuntu that we can download for free | 18:22 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, is it the pc spkr beep, or the pulse audio beep.. is the main question. | 18:22 |
| nimbiotics | where should I go for problems with xserver? | 18:23 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, does entering ctrl-g in a terminal make a beep? | 18:23 |
| pratz | Dr_willis: yes | 18:23 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, try the beep command.. is it the same sound? | 18:23 |
| pratz | Dr_willis: Dr_willis it is the pc speakers | 18:23 |
| JC617 | Recently had same problem with Metropcs blocking legal (Linux Distro ISOs), they blocked the .torrent file(well throttled it to years ETA) and completely blcked all unencrypted torrent traffic even if it was legal | 18:24 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, blacklist the pcspkr module.. but thats the default also i thought | 18:24 |
| pratz | Dr_willis: yes, those are the pc speakers | 18:24 |
| kurtwp_ | who had a question about resolv.comf | 18:24 |
| Dr_willis | sudo rmmod pcspkr | 18:24 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 18:24 |
| Dr_willis | i dont even get a beep with pcspkr loaded.. wonder why.. | 18:24 |
| JC617 | guest: even if ur encrypting ur traffic if someone sending to u is unencrypted then it was still blocked, once i changed those two settings in utorrent i was able to download the distro's iso | 18:25 |
| kurtwp_ | fr33loader: did you get an answer about resolv.conf | 18:25 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, for a fun trick --> http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/8275/grub2-set-super-mario-as-startup-tune | 18:25 |

| pratz_ | Dr_willis: sudo modprobe pcspkr did not give error | 18:28 |
| Dr_willis | kyubutsu, that was from a root shell i had open. | 18:29 |
| prabuinet | possible to change the boot loader on mac? | 18:29 |
| Dr_willis | pratz, i dont recall grub giving me the pc spkr beeps either.. wonder if my speaker broke. :) | 18:29 |

| kkrauss | I have used debian squeeze with Xen but was wondering if there were other alternatives | 18:31 |
| phunyguy | kkrauss: virtualbox | 18:31 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, ok whats your reasoning? | 18:31 |
| fosser_josh | i just installed ubuntu 12.04, feels refresh!!! i have problem with google chrome, when i start google chrome and switch to any other application. google chrome window will get dissappear but process still run in background. Anyone getting similar problem? Does anyone know solution on this? | 18:31 |
| phunyguy | kkrauss: performance, and ease of setup. | 18:32 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, xen was really easy too, but I cant speak on performance | 18:32 |
| paperbagblues | fosser_josh - does it but a button in the menu bar | 18:32 |
| phunyguy | its quirky if the server is headless, but other than that its good | 18:32 |
| kkrauss | fosser_josh, its not vanishing its just locked to the unity dash bar | 18:32 |
| deadopsarcadehah | hello ^^ | 18:32 |
| pgib | ugh.. Looks like nVidia TwinView is always treated as a huge monitor by any WM I use. so, I'm back to fucking xinerama. But of course, I can't do any rotation now! Holy crap. Why is it so hard, I've spent two days trying use use 3 monitors. I've been using Linux since 2004, but this is the first time I want to switch to windows | 18:32 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, what I want to do is I have an older system I want to turn into a server, I want web server, possibly a file server, maybe dns etc | 18:32 |
| kkrauss | pgib, I know two other guys trying to do triview, its not joke and takes time to figure it out | 18:33 |

| vitor-br | how to hide disabled accounts in login screen? | 18:33 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, should I still use debian squeeze? | 18:33 |
| L3top | Is there a question pgib? | 18:33 |
| phunyguy | kkrauss, i wouldnt | 18:33 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, what do you recommend? | 18:34 |
| phunyguy | if you want to go the headless route, use ubuntu server | 18:34 |
| fosser_josh | kkrauss: but when i try to switch back to google chrome using alt-tab it doesnot show, and even there is nothing on vanity bar, i have to click on google chrome icon again to start, which start new window | 18:34 |
| kyubutsu | pratz: see that sound icon on top bar? click and select 'sound settings', go to sound effect tab and turn down that slider , try that | 18:34 |
| phunyguy | if not, use something like lubuntu or xubuntu for lightweight | 18:34 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, I do not know what you mean by headless route | 18:34 |
| nimbiotics | where should I go for help with xserver? | 18:34 |
| phunyguy | kkrauss, text based install with no monitor, and ssh access to the box | 18:34 |
| pgib | L3top, kkrauss, the closest I could get is using TwinView on two monitors, and another monitor as a standalone X screen. This was _tolerable_ however - all the window managers treat the "twinviewed" monitors as a single screen - so things like window maximization and positioning just plain don't work. | 18:34 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, eventually yes, I will sipmly ssh in | 18:34 |
| kkrauss | hold on bathroom break ill be back | 18:34 |
| pgib | L3top, kkrauss: the next best was to use 3 separate screens under xinerama - but in this mode, I cannot rotate any of the screens :-/ | 18:35 |
| kurtwp_ | pgib: I had the same problem when using the NVIDIA drivers supplied by ubuntu | 18:35 |
| pgib | I've tried both proprietary nvidia and the free nouveau ones. nvidia gets be the closest. nouveau is never able to use more than a single output | 18:36 |

| kurtwp_ | pgib: I can rotate if I choose too | 18:36 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, ok back, I am getting different opinions here. the most common is to use debian squeeze with xen because its easy to set up(I also already know how to do it) and it stays out of your way as my professor quoted, but ou are the second person to say use ubuntu server | 18:37 |
| L3top | !poll | kkrauss | 18:37 |
| ubottu | kkrauss: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:37 |
| pgib | kurtwp_, yes. I tried that (I'm using 12.04). If I set the two screens which are on the same GPU through Gnome's DISPLAY utility, then it doesn't do maximization and such correctly | 18:37 |
| phunyguy | kkrauss: its my opinion | 18:38 |
| kkrauss | wow can't ask peoples opinions in here, kind of silly. | 18:38 |

| pgib | kurtwp_, I also saw that the nvidia drivers have some xorg.conf options for "simulating" the display information that would have been provided by xinerama. That is, the driver will say "There are two displays, their areas are x,y,w,h etc.." but, in my case, the values are never set (as confirmed by xdpyinfo -ext XINERAMA) | 18:41 |

| SetiAmon | L3top: which log is it | 18:43 |
| L3top | SetiAmon: I am not sure... I would start with dmesg | 18:44 |
| Resistance | alphanum: then there's either the offtopic channel, or a better channel elsewhere on freenode or some other network. just saying | 18:44 |
| kkrauss | phunyguy, you wouldn't happen to be familiar with how to do a network install would you? This older machine I have doesnt support usb booting so was wondering if I could some how boot it off my laptop and install from there? | 18:44 |
| OerHeks | vitor-br, i am looking for simular bugreports, all i find is : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/980843 also odd | 18:44 |

| phunyguy | kkrauss: sorry, not really... | 18:44 |
| alphanum | I guess i will try offtopic | 18:45 |
| Resistance | alphanum: not the channel here | 18:45 |
| phunyguy | kkrauss: maybe you can attach the HDD to the laptop somehow, and install that way, then just plug the drive into the server | 18:45 |
| kkrauss | alphanum, depending on the time of day there are people in here that will help you with such questions, but thats usually at night when its less active and people are less anal. for now try offtop | 18:45 |
| miturn | Hi. I am trying to install Ubuntu from USB stick. Antivirus blocked writing AUTORUN.INF. Can this have influence on the boot process? | 18:45 |

| SetiAmon | seems like multipul have reported this bug and I imagine it will bre resolved soon enough. | 18:48 |
| kkrauss | hey phunyguy, you know what this is all a learning experince for me so im going to go outside my shell and try ubuntu server. have you used 12.04 server? should I use an older version? | 18:48 |
| === nb_ is now known as Guest42817 | ||
| Resistance | kkrauss: i use 12.04 server, got any specific questions? | 18:49 |
| smee | any tips on getting flash to work? i've removed it, reinstalled it, updated it, installed the alpha, tried the firefox flash helper, tried 3rd party flash players and still even a simple youtube video will either crash my browser (firefox,chrome,opera) or it'll just have a big empty space where the flash applet should be... | 18:50 |
| L3top | SetiAmon: any number of things can crash on any number of systems. It could be any combination of things which cause this problem. MOST people have 0 issue with what you are experiencing, but in order for people to identify bugs with specific combinations of hardware/software, we need logs. Figure out what crashed. | 18:50 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, im using it on an older machine and plan on setting up a virtual server with vm's for web server, file server, possibly dns if I can figure it all out. Just curious if I should go with a lighter version or stick with 12.04 | 18:50 |
| jsd_ | I have an AMD Phenom 9950BE and I'm wondering if U12 needs an AMD power now driver, wondering what apps you'd recommend for monitoring and forcing lower power mode and full power mode for cpu | 18:50 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: you can do all of those things on a single item (web server, file server, DNS, all on the same server) | 18:50 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i use it in a low-RAM environment, i subsitituted Apache for nginx, but it works okayish | 18:51 |
| zyxon | smee: no idea really, worked for me OOTB. Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? | 18:51 |
| Resistance | i just dont run my own DNS | 18:51 |

| JoshDreamland | Why's the power button instantly shutting down my machine all of a sudden? | 18:52 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, I was told to use virtual machines by a few different people on here, not really sure why | 18:52 |
| JoshDreamland | doesn't give mate a chance to ask | 18:52 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, one guy did say use ubuntu server with apache2 sql and php though | 18:52 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i meant you could use one or two | 18:52 |
| smee | i'm looking for any final recommendations before i reinstall... it'll be a big hassle for me... this is out media box in the living room... the wife is... impatient. | 18:53 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, one or two servers? | 18:53 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: that's a base setup, i used nginx in place of Apache because APache is resource-intensive | 18:53 |
| SetiAmon | the bug i am experiencing is reported on launchpad already confirmed.I don't know what to look for on the logs.anyhow it seems like it maybe related to nvidia drivers but i can't switch terminal or anything when it freezes up | 18:53 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: no, that came out wrong | 18:53 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i meant one or two VMs for those three services | 18:53 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, ok so we do agree I want a virtual server then | 18:53 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, now back to the ubuntu question, is 12.04 ok for me to use or should I use an older version? | 18:54 |
| L3top | !details | smee | 18:54 |
| ubottu | smee: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 18:54 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i didnt necessarily say that, but if you are in the mood to use VMs, then you will have to set one up | 18:54 |
| madwill | Anybody is good with pulse audio under ubuntu 12 ? i'm doing screen capture, it use to offer me a way of capturing audio by selecting it from the recording input | 18:54 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: 12.04 should be fine, the difference between, say, Oneiric and Precise is marginal (difference between Natty and PRecise is a bit bigger, but...) | 18:54 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, well I know its outside the realm of what you like to talk about but I am trying to figure out if I should use VM's or not. Many people say to do so but without giving reason, and there is nothing on the net i can find. | 18:54 |
| smee | ubuntu 12.04. problem running flash of any type. regardless of browser or flash version.. | 18:55 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i dont forsee any real issues using 12.04 in a VM on your machine, but personally i dont see any real reason | 18:55 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: to use a VM if you have a spare system lying around | 18:55 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, well if there is no rason to set up a vmserver, what would you do? | 18:55 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: FYI, i've got 6-year-old Dell desktops running Ubuntu Server 11.10, no problems, but those're old salvaged systems | 18:55 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i'd install directly to the drive, but if you have a Desktop environment, you can install server packages right on that | 18:55 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: take for example my laptop here | 18:56 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i do a lot of PHP work, so its running nginx + sql + php in addition to Ubuntu Desktop software | 18:56 |
| Resistance | for testing | 18:56 |
| L3top | smee: are you using unity 3d? | 18:56 |
| Resistance | its not internet-facing, but i can run Desktop and webserverstuffs | 18:56 |
| smee | yep | 18:56 |
| smee | standard install.. no special apps running. | 18:56 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: but this system's only 4 years old, so it can still handle that. i'm unsure of your specs | 18:56 |
| L3top | there is a problem with that. Drop to 2d and it shouldnt be an issue smee. | 18:56 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: if in yoru case your system is too old to install 12.04 directly, then try a VM | 18:57 |
| smee | how do i do that? | 18:57 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, I think you misunderstand | 18:57 |
| sw0rdfish | how do I restart the DE/GUI from tty2 | 18:57 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: probably, you're not being 100% precise (afaict) | 18:57 |
| sw0rdfish | tty7 has frozen and given me a black screen | 18:57 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, I dont know how to reword this | 18:57 |
| L3top | smee: Someone else will have to answer, I don't use unity. | 18:57 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: your question is: SHould I use a VM to run an Ubuntu Server instance, or should I do something else. right? | 18:57 |
| smee | i'll look it up... thanks l3top | 18:57 |
| zyxon | L3top: flash is running flawlessly using unity3d on 12.04 amd64 | 18:57 |
| L3top | sw0rdfish: service lightdm restart would be my guess | 18:57 |
| smee | i'm using amd3200 | 18:58 |
| Resistance | (or am i even close) | 18:58 |
| L3top | zyxon: interesting. I have seen a lot of issues in here with the two. | 18:58 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, I have an older dell desktop I want to turn into a server. I want it to eventaully have dokuwiki on it that can be accessed from outside the network, I want a file server so any machine on my network can access files on another etc. DNS just for fun maybe things like that | 18:58 |
| L3top | smee: can I get the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA | 18:58 |
| zyxon | L3top: imma consider myself lucky then... :D | 18:58 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: you mean like my setup :P | 18:58 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, so I was going to set up a virtual server. I have done this with squeeze before, then start a couple of vm's, one for the web server, one for the file server, and again maybe one for the dns. | 18:59 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: you can run each of those services on the same server, only open the ports you need to the outside world | 18:59 |
| L3top | smee: are you using the native radeon driver or the proprietary fglrx? | 18:59 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: hmm, my question then: | 18:59 |
| sw0rdfish | L3top, ok | 18:59 |
| smee | nativer | 18:59 |
| smee | l3top : native | 18:59 |
| kkrauss | and thats where the question is, do I even need virtualization and if not why do so many people keep telling me I do lol | 18:59 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: that'd be overkill, if they're all going to be Ubuntu. why do you want to run multiple VMs for that? | 18:59 |
| L3top | Ok, can I get the output of the lspci above? | 18:59 |
| L3top | smee^ | 18:59 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: the question is what you'd rather do: run multiple servers and multiple VMs for each service, or have a single box running one instance of Ubuntu Server, with all the services at the same place | 19:00 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: personally, i dont see the necessity for multiple VMs | 19:00 |
| Resistance | that's overkill, IMO | 19:00 |

| kkrauss | Resistance, and to me that makes more sense I agree with you but being a novice I doubt my self, and many peopel are telling me to use VM's | 19:00 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: which "people" :P | 19:00 |
| L3top | I am afraid you are stuck with that driver smee. | 19:00 |
| kkrauss | other people from here, I cant remember names | 19:00 |
| sw0rdfish | hmmmmm | 19:00 |
| kkrauss | also an old college professor who knows what the hell he is talking about, but he isnt answring me right now in irssi and I could have just misunderstood him | 19:01 |
| smee | l3top : is there a work around? flash was working just fine up till an update i did one day... | 19:01 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i think the question is what you'd rather do: set up each VM and its networking right, or run an isntall yourself | 19:01 |
| Resistance | also | 19:01 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, " I would do it in a set of VMs, only because I am typically running many services, and that can lead to confusing | 19:01 |
| kkrauss | problems in the event of problems. By keeping services isolated, I can better work with configurations and know there | 19:01 |
| kkrauss | are no weird indirect dependencies." | 19:01 |

| sw0rdfish | that did it thanks L3top .... when the DE/GUI started it showed some message about the battery in a black screen.... any idea how i can get that now? | 19:02 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: i understand what they're saying, but they have different reasons | 19:02 |
| sw0rdfish | think it continued on the set of messages when the OS is first booting cuz I saw some network-related messages above it. | 19:02 |
| Resistance | the hell? | 19:02 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: wrong button? | 19:02 |
| L3top | smee: I would look at your logs, see what updated... | 19:02 |
| kkrauss | and I used the wrong command to leave private chat lol | 19:03 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, yes sir! lol | 19:03 |
| L3top | sw0rdfish: I am not sure sorry | 19:03 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: in any case, lemme tell you what my interpretation is of their statement: | 19:03 |
| L3top | kkrauss: make sure that you explain to them you are using crap equipment with few resources as well. | 19:03 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: my interpretation is they've got one box that has other services on it already, and for their sake they split up other services into VMs so as not to confuse themselves | 19:03 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, he is old school though, all self taught, still uses aptitude, hates any graphical interface. Loves debian but not a fan of ubuntu since it gets in his way lol | 19:03 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: virtualization isnt a low-resource thing | 19:03 |
| jsd_ | dumb question I'm sure, conky installed thru software center on ubuntu 12, couldn't find it in dash, didnt auto start either. Removed it, then did the sudo install thru terminal, not sure where the program is to start it, like I said, dumb question | 19:03 |
| smee | l3top : i'm too much of a noob to get that done... i think i'm going too have to reinstall. | 19:03 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: if you've got an old crap system (several-year-old Dell), dont go with the virtualization optiion | 19:04 |
| L3top | smee: poke around in /var/log | 19:04 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: since you're not going to be running a ton of services, installing directly to the system's drive would probably be all you need, then install/configure the services you need | 19:04 |
| kkrauss | ok Resistance that is what I was looking for, I am downloading 32 bit server 12.04 now | 19:04 |
| zyxon | smee: try installing the proprietrary driver first | 19:04 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: :P | 19:04 |
| L3top | smee: wait... out of curiosity, please apt-cache policy fglrx | grep Installed | 19:04 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, ive never done anything outside of a virtual server and vm's though so this will all be new to me, also having to do everything through console with now gui is going to be interesting | 19:05 |
| smee | l3top : Installed: (none) | 19:05 |
| L3top | smee: I would not listen to zyxon. your chipset is specifically not supported. | 19:05 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: well... | 19:05 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: you could do what i did, install Ubuntu Desktop, then install server packages in that | 19:05 |
| Resistance | then you still get the GUI | 19:05 |
| L3top | smee: I would expect no display on return, and a lot of purging has to happen to get back | 19:05 |
| Resistance | (that's how most of my systems are set up_ | 19:05 |

| ixion | hi, can anyone tell me how to install Ubuntu.. from inside Ubuntu ? | 19:06 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, now again my mentors preferences are seeping into me, he strongly urged against using desktops as they ate up resources, but couldnt I simply not start X after everything si setup the way I want? | 19:06 |
| ixion | (not a live CD) | 19:06 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: ubuntu server doesnt install X automatically | 19:06 |
| zyxon | ixion: in a virtual machine, or what? | 19:07 |
| Resistance | kkrauss: you'd have to install an environment after the fact | 19:07 |
| L3top | nothing personal zyxon. This is just an area I deal in daily. I handle automatic detection/install for gpus and generate custom xorgs for our project. That driver will cause problems on that gpu. | 19:07 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, no option for it during install? | 19:07 |
| Resistance | nope, not on the Server CD | 19:07 |
| wcchandler | i installed a package that had a broken .postrm in the deb. it's been updated in the repo, but I can't re-install it as it complains about being in a failed state. what's the best way out of this? | 19:07 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, that was something else I was hoping to be able to do, network booting with OS install options, but my professor said that takes mirroring of the distros | 19:07 |
| ixion | Zyxon. I dont have a CD drive, or a USB stick. I have a ubuntu installation which I am in at the moment and I wish to install Ubuntu onto another partition/disk etc | 19:07 |

| gionnico | can someone help me to recover a mdadm / IMSM RAID 0 ? | 19:09 |
| gionnico | one drive of the 2 was faulty. so i created an image of it. and removed the drive. | 19:09 |
| ixion | wow ubiquity has a lot of dependencies (240mb) . I will try that though, thanks | 19:09 |
| gionnico | i loop mounted the image to /dev/loop1 : losetup /dev/loop1 /mnt/backup/image.img | 19:09 |
| gionnico | but mdadm doesn't seem to accept /dev/loop1 as the missing device of the array | 19:09 |
| kkrauss | hmm So Resistance so burn 12.04 desktop instead, download necessary packages set everything up then just kill X? | 19:09 |
| gionnico | # mdadm /dev/md/imsm0 --add /dev/loop1 | 19:09 |

| ixion | can I boot into the ISO while stored on my HDD? loop mount? | 19:10 |
| kkrauss | no we are almost back to what I was originally going to do but tyler in here told me not to, I was going to do this: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/build-linux-web-server-computer-part-1/ | 19:11 |
| auronandace | ixion: grub2 can do that, never tried it though so i wouldn't know how | 19:11 |
| gionnico | ixion, exactly. # mount -o loop -t iso9660 /mnt/image.iso /mnt/cdrom | 19:11 |
| gionnico | you'll need # modprobe loop before that if you dont have loop module loaded already | 19:11 |
| ixion | gionnico, I need to run the Ubuntu installer from HDD not just mount the ISO | 19:12 |
| gionnico | ixion, no that's not possible unless you want to install within a virtual environment | 19:12 |
| kkrauss | Resistance, I guess that is my last question and I'll leave you alone you have been more than helpful, albeit a little short lol, the howto I was orignally going to used said to use 10.10, do you agree with that or should I use 12.04, maybe something different? | 19:13 |
| ixion | so from inside a full ubuntu installation (not live) I cannot install Ubuntu onto another HDD / Partition ? | 19:13 |
| gionnico | ixion, you really could but the ubuntu iso is not the way to do that. | 19:14 |
| auronandace | ixion: http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ | 19:14 |
| gionnico | you should create the filesystem alone, then copy rootfs contents, then chroot | 19:14 |
| gionnico | and install grub to that disk mbr | 19:14 |
| L3top | 1204 will have more hw support, which probably wont matter for your older equipment.

| kkrauss | L3top, you are a wound a little tight my friend. I was showing my appreciation and joking around with you, its all good. | 19:16 |
| locoguano | need "Advanced Settings" for custom themes | 19:16 |

| auronandace | too | 19:16 |
| miturn | ixion: what is filesystem then? | 19:16 |
| kkrauss | L3top, again i sincerely appreciate your help. | 19:16 |
| NiamorGclvs93 | Thanks | 19:17 |
| trism | jarek: the themes in System Settings/Appearance are hardcoded in 11.10-12.04, install gnome-tweak-tool to change the themes | 19:17 |
| L3top | Thats why we are here kkrauss, to help... not be anal. | 19:17 |
| Cedric2 | hello! | 19:17 |
| kkrauss | my final question is do newer versions actually run more efficiently? Like with windows, sometimes its better to run older versions as they will run better, si that the same with ubuntu? | 19:17 |
| wawowe | miturn: it's a large dummy file on the ntfs partition formatted to ext4 or whatever fs you choose | 19:17 |
| ixion | miturn, tbh I havent looked to see what it does, but I presume it stores everything in a single file on the NTFS FS | 19:18 |
| Cedric2 | Usually new ubuntu vers have improved performance | 19:18 |
| OerHeks | kkrauss old versions, old kernels | 19:18 |
| L3top | kkrauss: in the case of unity, I would say absolutely not. This opinion does not make me popular. | 19:18 |
| ixion | kkrauss, recent versions of Ubuntu have targeted boot performance etc and are much faster to boot | 19:18 |
| Papamatti | Hellp | 19:18 |
| Papamatti | Hello | 19:18 |
| kkrauss | well I doubt unity will even run on my older machine, I will more than likely have to run 2d just like this laptop which is better hardware | 19:19 |
| Cedric2 | Unity? CHILDREN DONT WATCH THIS! (f*ck that sh*t) YOU WATCHED D: | 19:19 |
| kkrauss | but once my services are set up and running | 19:19 |
| Papamatti | I have a problem with the software-center and purchased software | 19:19 |
| kkrauss | I am going to shutX off anywya | 19:19 |
| Cedric2 | I like gnome classic WAY more | 19:19 |
| L3top | kkrauss: then I would go with the newer kernel. | 19:19 |
| Jordan_U | !language | Cedric2 | 19:19 |
| ubottu | Cedric2: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 19:19 |
| Cedric2 | ok | 19:19 |
| kkrauss | So I guess all this babbling has led me to this, install 12.04 desktop to old machine, download server packages, soemthing happens, shut off x, profit. | 19:19 |
| Cedric2 | : ) | 19:19 |
| paulehoffman | Bump: I think I'm missing something obvious. If I attach a pluggable SATA device to the system after it is booted, how do I get Ubutu to rescan the devices and see it? | 19:19 |
| OerHeks | This is my bootchart, i think i shouldn't tweak more >> http://picpaste.com/oerpc-precise-20120516-1-0cFYcLY8.png | 19:20 |
| Cedric2 | So, the reason I came here: | 19:20 |
| L3top | paulehoffman: define pluggable SATA device | 19:20 |
| Cedric2 | Is there a way to like... have a full-screen application running, but not covering the whole screen? (Small app in middle, black on the sides) | 19:21 |
| kkrauss | L3top, out of curiosity are you familiar with how to set up network installs using ubuntu? | 19:21 |
| ixion | !info mirrors | 19:21 |
| ubottu | Package mirrors does not exist in precise | 19:21 |
| paulehoffman | L3top: External SATA drive connected to a SATA connector on the motherboard. drop in a drive, turn it on. | 19:21 |
| ixion | anyone know the URL to get list of mirrors | 19:21 |
| paulehoffman | Works on reboot, but I don't want to reboot. | 19:21 |
| L3top | paulehoffman: that sounds like an awesome way to blow things up. | 19:21 |
| L3top | kkrauss: distributed installs? or setting up complicated networking? | 19:22 |
| ixion | ooh https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors | 19:22 |
| OerHeks | paulehoffman works only with a hotswap bay | 19:22 |
| paulehoffman | L3top: that sounds sad. I was hoping there was a "rescan /sdx" style command. | 19:22 |
| L3top | what OerHeks said | 19:22 |
| paulehoffman | OerHeks: it is a hotswap bay, but there was nothing in the bay when I booted. | 19:22 |
| kkrauss | L3top, in my lap at my university, we were able to boot off the network and install a plethora of operating systems | 19:22 |
| chipotle_ | how do i enter a shell and always have root privlieges? i am tired of entering sudo for each command... | 19:23 |
| kkrauss | L3top, if I could set that up for myself that would be pretty cool but something tells me its not easy task | 19:23 |
| Papamatti | I have a problem with reinstalling purchased software with the software-center after an upgrade from ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 !!! | 19:23 |
| kkrauss | L3top, well for you maybe, bu not for me | 19:23 |
| L3top | kkrauss: We do a lot of PXE booting, slim clients... but they have no HDs and we do not install... so none I am afraid. | 19:23 |
| wawowe | paulehoffman: could try loading the kernel module for the drive | 19:23 |
| Jordan_U | paulehoffman: Is this hotplugging working in another OS? Generally you shouldn't need to do anything to get a new device to show up. | 19:23 |
| wylde | !netboot | kkrauss | 19:23 |
| ubottu | kkrauss: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 19:23 |

| paulehoffman | wawowe: sounds OK. How? | 19:24 |
| kkrauss | thanks wylde ! | 19:24 |
| chipotle_ | keithb: thanks! | 19:24 |
| wawowe | paulehoffman: or maybe check the init scripts and see how it's scanned in the first place on booting | 19:24 |
| kkrauss | L3top, I see a minor problem with 12.04 desktop, its requires a gig of ram | 19:24 |
| pino33 | quasi amici | 19:24 |
| L3top | kkrauss: as I said... I am not particularly fond. Try kubuntu. SOMEHOW it has become the lightweight alternative. | 19:25 |
| wawowe | paulehoffman: boot up with it plugged in then do lsmod > plugged | 19:25 |
| wylde | kkrauss: np, I run an LTSP here I use the lubuntu-desktop for the client machines :) | 19:25 |
| paulehoffman | Basicially, I would love "rescan /dev/sdx and don't touch /dev/sdax, which are already running" | 19:25 |
| OerHeks | paulehoffman, oke, i understood it was just a regular sata port , see > sudo partprobe ( found @ http://serverfault.com/questions/5336/how-do-i-make-linux-recognize-a-new-sata-dev-sda-drive-i-hot-swapped-in-without ) | 19:25 |

| stars69 | hi guys, how can i make desktop sharing application start on startup mode? | 19:26 |
| paulehoffman | OerHeks: <reading> | 19:26 |
| kkrauss | ahh overwhelmed again | 19:26 |
| kkrauss | so I should ust kubuntu instead for my server? | 19:26 |
| wawowe | paulehoffman: altho the module is probably built into the kernel so you may have to compile your own | 19:26 |
| miturn | How is home folder encryption done? I was unable to select it during installation because of the underlaying tool crashes | 19:26 |
| wawowe | paulehoffman: then again it ubuntu uses initramfs so maybe not | 19:27 |
| L3top | hard to say definitively, I can only tell you that this is what I have done kkrauss | 19:27 |
| Griz64 | brother just updated his machine and now it refuses to boot, dropping him at a grub prompt. is there a good 'rescue URL' anyone can recommend that i use to help him over the phone? | 19:27 |
| kkrauss | what is kubuntu exactly? im not familiar with it | 19:27 |
| L3top | !kubuntu | 19:27 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 19:27 |
| zyxon | miturn: Wow, really? It didn't crash using the first issue CD | 19:27 |
| L3top | same backend, different front end kkrauss. | 19:28 |
| kkrauss | ahhh | 19:28 |
| wylde | kkrauss: it's ubuntu with the KDE desktop environment and toolsets. | 19:28 |
| kkrauss | the front end is what makes it run more efficiently right? | 19:28 |
| kkrauss | its nto going to matter once I turn x off | 19:28 |
| zonetti | How can I "cat" a file into a variable in bash script? | 19:28 |
| zyxon | cat 'filename' > $trololo iirc | 19:29 |
| wylde | zonetti: doesn't sound like the proper method, but I don't really know. I bet the folks over in #bash would have some good ideas/tips for you. | 19:29 |
| wawowe | Griz64: boot from the ubuntu installer and chroot, then run apt-get -f install | 19:29 |
| zonetti | wylde, okay (meme face) | 19:29 |
| kkrauss | wylde, at this piont I am wondering if i am better off just using ubuntu server and learning how to do everything through the shell | 19:30 |
| ericP | without adding indicator to the panel, i have controls for wifi and bluetooth (in fact, two for bluetooth) but no volume control. | 19:30 |
| ericP | running gnome-control-center gives me five buttons: Language Support, Ubuntu One, Additional drivers, Bluetooth, Printing. | 19:30 |
| zyxon | zonetti: ^ | 19:30 |
| ericP | adding indicator gives me a button which mostly successfully runs `gnome-control-center sound`. | 19:30 |
| zonetti | zyxon, ? | 19:30 |
| Griz64 | wawowe, got a good url for chroot'ing a ubuntu machine? | 19:30 |
| ericP | i can't run that from the command line (could not find panel "sound"). | 19:30 |
| === EnkiduEnkita is now known as EnkiduAFK | ||

| wylde | kkrauss: that's what I used to do, now I have a thin-client setup next to this machine I use for connecting to my "server" heh | 19:30 |

| wawowe | Griz64: no but, from the boot disc: passwd && sudo su | 19:31 |
| yeehaw | zyxon: Or in a script you could do: i=`cat filename` | 19:31 |
| ericP | i'm using xfwm4 (though i recall it happening with other wms), with a fresh 12.04 install and an old home directory with old dot files from a 10.04 | 19:31 |
| paulehoffman | Nope, no happiness here. I'll give up and reboot. Thanks for the suggestions, though! | 19:31 |
| kkrauss | wylde, once my server is set up im going to plug it right into my router and leave it alone, anything Ill need to do will be via ssh, so I should learn how to do everything through command line | 19:32 |
| Jordan_U | zyxon: That will copy contents of "filename" to the file whose name is stored in $trololo. | 19:32 |
| ericP | i can't run indicator all the time 'cause it gets in the way of my network controls (its network controles are impotent) | 19:32 |
| wawowe | Griz64: no but, from the boot disc: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev; mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc; chroot /mnt | 19:32 |

| wylde | kkrauss: it should cover it. My advice is to take your time, do a bit of research then work at implementing it. | 19:34 |

| irule | hi, I am having trouble with a network that get internet from a cable company, all secured websites timeout their DNS, plus most non-secured wenbsites also timeout DNS, how may I fix this? | 19:56 |
| xangua | yeehaw: not really something for here of ot, don't feed the troll | 19:56 |
| yeehaw | xangua: Point taken :-) | 19:56 |
| irule | I tried 8.8.8.8 but it is being blocked by the cable company | 19:56 |
| keithb | scottsim: so clicking on on detect displays doesn't help? | 19:57 |
| kwixson_ | None of the online tutorials are making any sense to me... How do I bridge a wireless connection to an Ethernet connection? | 19:57 |
| twister_ | Since upgrading to 12.04, I can't mount Windows shares -- even though I can access them through smbclient. | 19:57 |
| yeehaw | scottsim: Did you install a Graphics driver | 19:57 |
| scottsim | keithb: Nope :-( | 19:57 |
| amikrop | Hello. Is the auto-hide lancher option supposed to make the left column-like launcher disappear until you mouse-over it? | 19:57 |
| amikrop | Because it doesn't. | 19:57 |
| amikrop | It just makes its background somewhat transparent | 19:57 |
| Kyle__ | Humm. Do you need to recycle a box for apt-get remove to remove old versions of java? | 19:58 |
| ubunlex | i have two machines: desktop ubuntu 12.04 and laptop ubuntu 12.04 i want to transfer files between them principally, i can forget about virtual machine thats not important right now | 19:58 |
| keithb | scottsim: is it an Nvidia card? I have a machine with one and I have to use the Nvida display tool... | 19:58 |
| amikrop | It still gets in the way (it is over) of my maximized windows | 19:58 |
| amikrop | How can I make it disappear? | 19:58 |
| scottsim | yeehaw: Not explicitly, only the ones that come with the distro by default. | 19:58 |
| amikrop | I mean, when I maximize a window I don't want the launcher to e over it | 19:58 |
| scottsim | keithb: It is a nvidia card. I'll try the tool and let you know -- thanks! | 19:58 |
| kwixson_ | I tried installing Firestarter as some sites suggested, but it didn't work. | 19:58 |
| yeehaw | scottsim: Check 'Additional drivers' in prefernes | 19:59 |
| amikrop | Or at least the window should maximize until the laucher and not under it | 19:59 |
| Kyle__ | ubunlex: an easy way would be to install openssh-server on both, and scp the files between them. It's not like mounting a network drive, but it's easy. | 19:59 |
| amikrop | If not over it | 19:59 |
| ubunlex | Kyle_ thanks | 20:00 |
| L3top | Kyle__: I would expect apt-get autoremove would work... | 20:00 |
| twister_ | Using the same credentials file, I can use smbclient and it connects -- but mount.cifs or mount.smbfs fails with mount error 13 "Permission denied" | 20:00 |
| scottsim | keithb, yeehaw: The nvidia tool did the trick. Thanks! :) | 20:00 |

| Kyle__ | L3top: Me too, but the javaws from openjdk-6-jre is still there. | 20:00 |
| yeehaw | amikrop: Did you try the slider? | 20:00 |
| keithb | scottsim: np, glad it worked | 20:01 |
| L3top | interesting Kyle__. I guess you should try purging it. | 20:01 |
| yeehaw | twister_: Also with sduo ? | 20:01 |
| yeehaw | twister_: sudo | 20:01 |
| twister_ | I've also tried browsing in nautilus, using "connect to server", and configuring fusesmb and smbnetfs... all fail with "permission denied". | 20:02 |
| twister_ | yeehaw, yes, I was using sudo as appropriate in each case. | 20:02 |
| amikrop | yeehaw: I turned auto-hide on, but all it did was make the launcher's background transparent. It never makes it hide and it gets in the way of my maximized windows :S | 20:02 |
| yeehaw | amikrop: Do you have the sensitivity on high? | 20:03 |
| amikrop | yeehaw: no it's on default | 20:03 |

| abcminiuser | Hey all | 20:06 |
| L3top | I remember that now that you mention it Kyle__. Good investigating. | 20:06 |
| abcminiuser | Just tried to run a app downloaded from a site under latest Ubuntu x86, but I get "unexpected reloc type in static binary" | 20:06 |
| abcminiuser | Any ideas? | 20:06 |
| yeehaw | mnaser: What platform? | 20:06 |
| mnaser | yeehaw: The hypervisor used is Xen | 20:06 |
| guntbert | ddn: what happens? | 20:06 |
| mnaser | yeehaw: Running latest everything, had the same issue with 2.x kernel and 3.x -- updating once again now | 20:07 |
| yeehaw | mnaser: Do you have the same issue with a different VM? | 20:07 |
| Kyle__ | L3top: I wonder if it makes a difference... I mean java6 is gone, so it'll be running java 6's webstart binary against java7.. Humm. | 20:07 |
| amikrop | yeehaw: gconf-editor does not run. I just click on it and nothing happens | 20:07 |
| ddn | guntbert: the modem is not listed/recognized by network manager to connect | 20:07 |
| mnaser | yeehaw: yes, few other Ubuntu VMs facing the same exact issues, however CentOS/Windows ones don't lose anything | 20:07 |
| L3top | I don't know that it will... it may in fact be hardcoded to 6 due to some change. | 20:07 |
| yeehaw | amikrop: In the terminal | 20:07 |
| L3top | I would investigate further. | 20:07 |
| Galvatron | abcminiuser: What app and from which website? A *.deb package from outside the official repos once erased my entire HDD (it had a certain script inside). | 20:07 |
| * Kyle__ nods | 20:07 | |
| yeehaw | mnaser: So it's definitly Ubuntu or the combination of Xen and ubuntu | 20:08 |
| abcminiuser | Galvatron, it's the official Atmel AVR toolchain, a variant of GCC | 20:08 |
| guntbert | ddn: is it shown by lsusb? | 20:08 |
| ddn | guntbert: yes | 20:08 |
| mnaser | yeehaw: aware of that, just don't know where to go, I've mostly used CentOS so i dont know :x | 20:08 |
| * L3top is afk | 20:08 | |
| abcminiuser | Galvatron, not a deb, but a gz I've extracted out and added to my path - I chmod +x'd the bin files | 20:09 |
| ZaNeIuM | what dose the -r in 'cp -r file.sh .' do? | 20:09 |
| abcminiuser | ZaNeIuM, recursive | 20:09 |
| ddn | guntbert: http://pastebin.com/TSaLiTKt | 20:09 |
| guntbert | ddn: one simple solution I used: after plugging it in it was recognized as a CD, so I typed eject sr1, waited a little and could connect | 20:10 |
| ZaNeIuM | co it would copy eveything in a folder | 20:10 |
| guntbert | ddn: if I remember correctly thats the same I did use | 20:11 |
| amikrop | yeehaw: the laucher did not hide (and never does) but at least that started causing the auto-hide option when I get it to Off, to make maximized windows until the launcher, and not under it | 20:11 |
| ddn | guntbert: will try, however is not listed as a cd | 20:11 |
| yeehaw | mnaser: I don't have hand ons experience with Xen, but I'll try a search. What's the type it emulates | 20:11 |
| twister_ | Anyone on with Samba expertise? | 20:12 |
| amikrop | yeehaw: so it didn't really fix the never hiding launcher problem, but at least I can see the whole of my maximized windows | 20:12 |
| guntbert | ddn: you can open another terminal, type there tailf /var/log/syslog and watch what happens | 20:12 |
| amikrop | yeehaw: should I file a bug then? | 20:12 |
| ndee | hi there, how can it be that the process "portmap" uses around 20% of the available memory? (16GB) | 20:12 |
| xxiao | after dd to a disk, it seems umount will not guarantee the write to the disk, instead sync will, correct? | 20:12 |
| yeehaw | amikrop: You could, but you should reproduce it on a clean install first really | 20:12 |
| xxiao | as dd bypasses the filesystem so umount might not work reliably? | 20:13 |
| amikrop | yeehaw: I am on a clean install | 20:13 |
| mnaser | yeehaw: i believe it doesnt emulate something in specific, it uses the xen networking driver | 20:13 |
| Mischinka | This is an odd question but does anyone know how to unlock a blackberry? | 20:13 |
| Mischinka | lol | 20:13 |

| StFS | Hi. I just installed a package with apt-get and it went fine, however, when I open aptitude it notifies me of dependency issues. Is there an apt command that analyses the dependencies and reports what is broken? | 20:44 |
| martian | How can I check what version of mod_autoindex is shipped with ubuntu's apache package? | 20:44 |
| OerHeks | Peri_, open terminal: gksudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/modules | 20:45 |
| robin_debspace | L3top: Thanks again for that link, I think this should help me to get it working! Just one thing, what backport do I have to use for Precise? Is it the same or a different one? | 20:45 |
| OerHeks | Peri_, look for those modules and put # in front of that/those lines | 20:45 |
| Peri_ | What do you mean look for the modules | 20:46 |
| Peri_ | where do I find them? | 20:46 |
| OerHeks | Peri_, if that file doesn't exist, make one and fill it with SUSPEND_MODULES="b43 bcma" | 20:47 |
| stars69 | trism, libsqlite3-tcl is already the newest version. | 20:47 |

| stars69 | I can't find that | 20:47 |
| Peri_ | OerHeks: I have done that, am I supposed to install anything here? Then install the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic or, if you have the pae kernel installed, the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic-pae package. | 20:47 |
| duckxx | when apt-get install pear .. i get a 404 error: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5375/croppercapture188.jpg -- how do i go about resolving this? do i have to update my package index ? | 20:47 |
| duckxx | apt-get is like the apple app store right? just want to make sure.. | 20:48 |
| OerHeks | Peri_, yes, according to that page | 20:48 |
| Peri_ | OerHeks: How do I do that. I tried the sudo apt-get install command, but it failed | 20:48 |
| trism | stars69: then the library is at /usr/lib/tcltk/sqlite3/libtclsqlite3.so | 20:50 |

| giga2 | is there anyone here that might help with a problem | 21:12 |
| wawowe | what's the problem | 21:12 |
| giga2 | I have downloaded and installed ubuntu 12.04 32 bit I have tried to install the game called five or more but when I click on it nothing happens | 21:14 |
| OerHeks | giga2 oke, select the gameboard en go up to the top panel, and choose Game > New | 21:16 |
| phy1729 | Is there an fairly easy way to make a ubuntu-desktop install a ubuntu-server install? | 21:16 |
| OerHeks | giga2, it does not auto-start | 21:16 |
| giga2 | It shows as being installed | 21:16 |
| StreetBall | hi phy1729, have you try to google for some meta-package? | 21:17 |
| StreetBall | i know that there are some meta-packages for "transform" from Ubuntu, to Xubuntu, to Kubuntu, but i never google for the analog for server | 21:17 |
| phy1729 | StreetBall: there is a meta package iirc but how does one remove it? | 21:17 |
| StreetBall | in any case, might be an issue for disabling the ctrl+f7 desktop session, which provide graphical login. | 21:18 |
| wawowe | phy1729: install which ever servers you need, openssh-server, mysql-server, apache | 21:18 |
| wawowe | phy1729: and apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop; apt-get --purge autoremove | 21:18 |
| phy1729 | Well I'd like to get rid of all the desktop cruft too | 21:18 |
| StreetBall | and also, wireless connections managed by the network control panel need to be set up via boot scripts | 21:18 |
| phy1729 | StreetBall: it's all wired | 21:19 |
| wawowe | && i mean | 21:19 |
| phy1729 | wawowe: thanks will try tonight | 21:19 |
| StreetBall | that saves a lot of fightin', phy1729 | 21:19 |
| phy1729 | yep it's our gateway / other linux server things box but the previous admin decided to put desktop on it | 21:20 |
| giga2 | OerHeks the game never opens from dash to even get to the game board | 21:21 |
| StreetBall | it's a pretty "neat and recent" pc? If the answer is "no", maybe it's time to get "trained" for configuring a better and more recent version.. | 21:21 |
| StreetBall | in any case, phy1729, maybe a deep clean for packages can be done with aptitude | 21:22 |
| phy1729 | trained mening? | 21:22 |
| === Dorito is now known as Guest47632 | ||
| phy1729 | It's fairly old but I don't think I have another box handy that supports 3x1GE cards | 21:23 |
| StreetBall | means that maybe should be a nice idea to start with another pc for "replicate" services done from your gateway | 21:23 |
| StreetBall | yikes! | 21:23 |
| StreetBall | 3x1gb cards? | 21:23 |
| StreetBall | quite a lot of bandwith | 21:24 |
| phy1729 | yep it's quite nice | 21:24 |
| StreetBall | have you got faster-than-100mbps internet connection? | 21:24 |
| phy1729 | well two are external one internal | 21:24 |
| phy1729 | we do indeed | 21:24 |
| phy1729 | being in college is nice like that | 21:25 |
| * StreetBall thinks that italian ISP sucks... | 21:25 | |
| StreetBall | in any case... | 21:25 |
| StreetBall | i linkd you the list of Ubuntu metaPackages | 21:25 |
| StreetBall | maybe removing the one for your desktop version will remove also the "graphical crap" | 21:26 |
| phy1729 | I'll try tonight to minimize user downtime | 21:26 |
| StreetBall | it's always a good advice... be careful and plan a lot of "moves" before doing them | 21:27 |
| StreetBall | and also: backup, sir! | 21:27 |
| phy1729 | always always backup | 21:27 |
| arno__ | Hi, Is it possible to install ubuntu from windows | 21:27 |
| arno__ | I've read about wubi, but it looks like it does not remove windows. | 21:28 |
| StreetBall | arno__, you want to remove windows, are you sure? | 21:28 |
| ikonia | arno__: no, | 21:28 |
| arno__ | StreetBall: yep, I'm sure | 21:28 |
| wawowe | arno__: you could use a wubi install to chainload tinycore or another toram system, then install from there | 21:29 |
| StreetBall | so, arno__, you need to boot from the CD or pendrive, than you have to delete existings partions on you hard drive, then you will remove windows and can install ubuntu/whatever you want into your hard drive | 21:29 |
| arno__ | StreetBall: problem is I forgot my usb key | 21:30 |
| StreetBall | try with a CD... | 21:30 |
| arno__ | I don't have one | 21:30 |
| StreetBall | no way out, as far as i know, arno__ | 21:30 |
| StreetBall | ... | 21:31 |
| StreetBall | is your pc a laptop? | 21:31 |
| arno__ | yes | 21:31 |
| StreetBall | maybe you can use an SD Card.. | 21:31 |
| === think is now known as xiu21 | ||
| wawowe | arno__: i've done what i just suggested, in a similar situation | 21:31 |
| arno__ | wawowe: how would I install from tinycore ? | 21:31 |
| StreetBall | some laptops can boot from the card reader | 21:31 |
| arno__ | can I debootstrap or something ? | 21:31 |
| StreetBall | ... | 21:32 |
| wawowe | arno__: you would use gparted to resize the ntfs partition so you have about 5gb of space, then copy the filesystem from the wubi file into it after you format it | 21:32 |
| arno__ | StreetBall: I have no device at all.. | 21:32 |
| wawowe | arno__: then change it a little and install grub | 21:33 |
| wawowe | arno__: finally delete the windows partition and expand into | 21:33 |
| wawowe | it | 21:33 |
| StreetBall | sorry, wawowe, but there's a little bug for me... | 21:33 |
| StreetBall | Does wubi write the linux filesystem into an NTFS file or am I wrong? | 21:33 |
| wawowe | it writes it into a file that's on the ntfs partition, yeah | 21:34 |
| ThePaRaDoX | ./j help | 21:34 |
| ThePaRaDoX | dfas | 21:34 |
| ThePaRaDoX | sorry | 21:34 |
| StreetBall | ok... how can gParted safely resize the NTFS partition while Ubuntu is running from WUBI? | 21:34 |
| wawowe | like a virtual machine | 21:34 |
| wawowe | ubuntu isn't running from wubi | 21:35 |
| StreetBall | but from tinycore? | 21:35 |
| wawowe | yeah | 21:35 |
| wawowe | or something similar that runs completely in ram | 21:35 |
| wawowe | you'd extract the initramfs and the kernel from the iso and put them in the wubi install | 21:36 |
| xiu21 | anybody good with figuring out why email might be getting rejected? : | 21:38 |

| farkerhaiku | using a different window manager and trying to get the global menu to work: i figured out that the "gtk-shell-shows-menubar" signal returns different values when using fluxbox vs ubuntu's window manager, so i'm wondering if anyone knows where ubuntu sets that in the GtkSettings object... is it set when unity-2d-panel is started? | 21:40 |
| ubuntunobody | hi, ubuntuone-installer hangs (python related?) is this normal for ubuntu 12.04 ? | 21:43 |

| wawowe | beatiful_sora: it should open another tty that may allow you to login | 22:06 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: okay thank you, what it is a tty? | 22:06 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: a terminal | 22:06 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: ah okay thank you | 22:06 |
| schultza | so it was remerged with the epic.. ok | 22:07 |

| wawowe | beatiful_sora: you said you see a white blinking line? | 22:07 |
| === q0rban is now known as q-rbn | ||

| wawowe | beatiful_sora: unless there was a ton of stuff in the home directory, the install is most likely destroyed | 22:08 |
| MrKeuner | wawowe, I would make him delete that command first | 22:08 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: try ctrl+c | 22:08 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: yes, the white blinking line, above it says, 'sudo rm -rf', then window is titled 'sora@sora-laptop' | 22:08 |
| xiamx | what should i do if i want to apply a mainstream patch to a package on my local machine? | 22:09 |
| halakar | hey guise - is there a quick way to disable the compositing effects in 12.04? I fear that having compositing enabled might degrade the performance of games under WINE | 22:09 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: does it say "rm -rf" or "rm -rf /" | 22:09 |
| MrKeuner | xiamx, is patch applied to a newer version of the package by package maintainer? | 22:09 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: 'rm -rf /' with a slash | 22:09 |
| moha85 | So I have a probleme: I have windows 7 in my pc and I installed ubuntu 12.04. So when I start the computer I don't see the windows partition in the grub menu. I need help, PLEASE! | 22:09 |

| beatiful_sora | wawowe: do you mean to press ctrl+c in the sora@sora-laptop? | 22:10 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: yes | 22:10 |
| xiamx | MrKeuner, no same as the current version maintained in precise | 22:10 |
| wylde | halakar: at the ligin screen you click the ubuntu symbol and select unity2D | 22:10 |
| wylde | login* | 22:10 |
| wylde | geez, I have illiterate fingers today. >.< | 22:11 |
| halakar | i shall try that now. do you think that's a good practice for when i want to run games, especially using WINE? | 22:11 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: wawowe you have accomplished it! i have pressed ctrl+c in the sora@sora-laptop and now the line is gone, now it says 'sora@sora-laptop' and some symbols! thank you! | 22:11 |

| e2b04836 | wawowe: do we know if the command was actually executed yet? | 22:11 |
| MrKeuner | xiamx, I would wait for the package maintainer to apply the mainstream patch and do apt-get dist-update. If urgent, you have to download the source for that package and apply the patch to the source and compile the package | 22:11 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: unless that the command was running on a timer before it happend or suspended | 22:12 |
| wawowe | e2b04836: as far as i know yes | 22:12 |

| beatiful_sora | wawowe: i clicked the icon for facebook, and it says about child process! | 22:13 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: your facebook? | 22:13 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: in that terminal: type sudo su | 22:14 |

| wylde | anyone* | 22:14 |
| e2b04836 | no, i was about to have a go | 22:14 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: is terminal the sora@sora-laptop window? | 22:14 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: yeah, | 22:15 |
| xiamx | MrKeuner, i've been waiting for package maintainer to do something for a month.. i guess i'll compile it myself. | 22:15 |

| wawowe | beatiful_sora: i think the default keybinding is ctrl+alt+t | 22:15 |
| MrKeuner | xiamx, yeah it might take time if the update is not urgent, most maintainers have to do day jobs for a living | 22:15 |
| wawowe | or it's in accessories | 22:16 |
| wawowe | or if unity search for terminal | 22:16 |
| Spacy | does anyone know if there is a implementation of PNRP for linux? if no, do we need one? i mean its a cool technology ("DNS" via distributed Hashtable) | 22:16 |

| craigbass1976 | I'm trying to get an hp m1212nf working. It worked ok in lucid, not so much in precise. When did openprinting get useless, or am I just not seeing the printing part of that page? I was hoping for a ppd file, but hp points at the linux site. | 22:17 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: my son set up my computer | 22:18 |
| MrKeuner | on fire? | 22:18 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: i pressed ctrl alt t, no change | 22:18 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: ctrl+alt+f3 | 22:18 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: no change | 22:19 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: are you talking from that computer right now? | 22:19 |
| MrKeuner | ... | 22:19 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: now everything i am pressing, it is saying, failed to execute child process! | 22:19 |
| e2b04836 | what do you actually see right now? | 22:19 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: yes i am, my son set me up a link saying 'irc, click me for help, don't phone me again' | 22:20 |
| MrKeuner | beatiful_sora, can we talk to your son? | 22:20 |
| wylde | beatiful_sora: just for future reference. Don't let anyone have your password, and if kids are going to use the computer setup an account for them with no admin access. | 22:20 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: don't close anything | 22:20 |
| beatiful_sora | MrKeuner: my son lives in london | 22:21 |
| zykotick9 | beatiful_sora: that's a funny link your son left.. sort of. Good luck | 22:21 |
| MrKeuner | ah you don't see him laughing then | 22:21 |
| e2b04836 | beatiful_sora: i hope you didnt have anything important on that computer, your son has executed a pretty deadly command the chances are its wiped the hard drive | 22:21 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: do you have anything on there that you need to keep? | 22:21 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: i have all family photos and some info for childrens schools | 22:22 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: do you have access to another computer with a cd burner? | 22:23 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: this is my only computer | 22:23 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: do you mean that i should save my photos to a cd | 22:23 |
| e2b04836 | yes | 22:23 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: how about any kind of install disc? | 22:23 |

| === KaKoS^VeZyRiS is now known as ThePaRaDoX | ||
| MrKeuner | beatiful_sora, what does ls -al / give you | 22:24 |
| e2b04836 | beatiful_sora: i'd turn that pc off immediately if you want any chance of getting them back | 22:24 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: i cannot get to my photos, are they gone! | 22:24 |
| beatiful_sora | MrKeuner: where do i type this | 22:24 |
| cheese1756 | beatiful_sora: Since the files aren't technically overwritten, you can use various tools to analyze the hard drive and get the files back | 22:25 |
| cheese1756 | At least, I assume that would work | 22:25 |
| abhinavmehta | there is some very popular tool, by which you can pretend that you are from some other country on the internet….which is that tool…not getting that name…anyone here know that..? | 22:25 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: you need to get a livecd like gparted | 22:25 |
| MrKeuner | beatiful_sora, in the sora@sora-laptop window | 22:25 |
| cheese1756 | abhinavmehta: Either a proxy or a VPN | 22:25 |
| abhinavmehta | proxy | 22:25 |
| beatiful_sora | MrKeuner: i have already closed this i am afraid, how can i get it back | 22:25 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: i think there's a utility called extrecover or something like that, but you'll have to run it from a livecd | 22:26 |
| abhinavmehta | that tool routes your traffic by masking your nic and ip | 22:26 |
| cheese1756 | I don't know if VPN's mask NIC's, but they do mask your IP | 22:26 |
| cheese1756 | You could also use an SSH tunnel | 22:26 |
| kkrauss | wylde, you still here | 22:26 |
| wylde | kkrauss: yep | 22:26 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: your current os is gone, when you reboot, you won't be able to come back | 22:26 |
| cheese1756 | And if you really wanted to be secure, you could spoof your MAC address | 22:27 |
| abhinavmehta | my NIC I mean IP… | 22:27 |
| cheese1756 | abhinavmehta: Check the laws of your local country to make sure everything you are doing is legal, of coruse | 22:27 |
| abhinavmehta | my mistake.. | 22:27 |
| cheese1756 | *course | 22:27 |
| MrKeuner | beatiful_sora, that's unfortunate. I wish you did not close it as people asked you not to close anything | 22:27 |
| kkrauss | wylde, I just thought of something, that old system I have, it already has an older version of ubuntu on it that boots. cant I install server from my usb drive that way without having to boot? | 22:27 |
| wylde | !ot | abhinavmehta cheese1756 | 22:27 |
| ubottu | abhinavmehta cheese1756: #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! | 22:27 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: but there's still a chance to recover somethings at this point | 22:27 |
| beatiful_sora | MrKeuner: i am sorry i think i closed it before i was told not to close anything please forgive me :( | 22:28 |
| wylde | kkrauss: I'm not sure I'm following you. | 22:28 |
| cheese1756 | Sorry wylde | 22:28 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: how can i do that? | 22:28 |
| abhinavmehta | cheese1756: hmm….I want some free IP masking tool. | 22:28 |
| MrKeuner | beatiful_sora, don't worry you are forgiven | 22:28 |
| Sheldon42 | abhinavmehta, Tor. | 22:28 |
| abhinavmehta | Sheldon42: correct…thats what I'm looking.. | 22:28 |
| e2b04836 | beatiful_sora: how on earth did you end up running that command? | 22:28 |
| abhinavmehta | thanks a ton. | 22:28 |
| kkrauss | wylde, my old pc doesnt have usb boot support but has an OS on it currently, cant I boot into the current OS and run the isntall from the usb that way? I would assume it will copy the boot and install fiels to the hard drive then reboot | 22:28 |
| cheese1756 | e2b04836: sora says that their son ran it | 22:29 |
| MrKeuner | beatiful_sora, please forgive your son. Obviously he needs some more attention from you | 22:29 |
| abhinavmehta | Sheldon42: thanks a ton….you end my search | 22:29 |
| beatiful_sora | e2b04836: my youngest son has run iit | 22:29 |
| goaway | hi! what traces are left behind when connecting to a wireless network? | 22:29 |
| wylde | kkrauss: oh I see. | 22:29 |
| ubuntu_lombok | sepiiii | 22:29 |
| kkrauss | wylde, did that make more sense? | 22:29 |
| meLon | How can I modify the available applications when selcting 'Default Application'. I am not given the option of selecting a program like /usr/bin/program and the program I want to use is not on the list. | 22:29 |
| wylde | kkrauss: yep | 22:29 |
| e2b04836 | thats very unfortunate | 22:30 |
| gr33n7007h | goaway, MAC address | 22:30 |
| kkrauss | wylde, so what do you think, think that will work? | 22:30 |
| wylde | kkrauss: I don't know what your were doing initially since I joined the convo after it started. | 22:30 |
| goaway | gr33n7007h: and how can that be traced back to me? | 22:30 |
| wylde | kkrauss: what OS is on this machine now? | 22:30 |
| kkrauss | no wylde I just got back, we spoke earlier remember about network booting | 22:30 |
| beatiful_sora | MrKeuner: i will forgive my son, i do not know what he has done but he is better at computes than i am, so is my other son, i think they are very good with technology but i wish i was also! | 22:31 |
| cheese1756 | goaway: It can't. It can trace all the traffic back to your computer, but not to your location | 22:31 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec | 22:31 |
| cheese1756 | goaway: MAC addresses can be spoofed easily, though | 22:31 |
| abhinavmehta | goaway: you can use tools like kismet etc..to trace back system based on MAC | 22:31 |
| e2b04836 | beatiful: your son has deleted everything on your computer | 22:31 |
| cheese1756 | With ifconfig | 22:31 |
| wylde | kkrauss: yes I recall, but I didn't get into your conversation before that is all I mean :) So I didn't really have any background info | 22:31 |
| gr33n7007h | goaway, the ISP will no everything you been on and trace it back to your MAC address e.g facebook, twitter etc. | 22:31 |
| goaway | cheese1756: i know! i was just wondering if the MAC address is the only thing left behind | 22:31 |
| goaway | abhinavmehta: i know! thanks | 22:32 |
| kkrauss | wylde, I gave you all the background info lol | 22:32 |
| cheese1756 | goaway: Beyoudn your traffic, I'd assume so. I don't admin any networks, so I'm not really sure | 22:32 |
| wylde | kkrauss: hmmm I'm not sure that would work. I know now. It's baest to ask anyway lol | 22:32 |
| wylde | best | 22:32 |
| goaway | gr33n7007h: no, i'm not connected to my isp at all | 22:32 |
| kkrauss | wylde, my old dell pc does not boot from usb, I dont have a blank cd currently. I am trying to figure out ways to install | 22:32 |
| gr33n7007h | goaway, MAC addr on router is the onlything left behind | 22:32 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: that's what you need | 22:32 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: it says failed to exceute child process | 22:33 |
| goaway | gr33n7007h: cool :p | 22:33 |
| wylde | kkrauss: yeah, I'm thinking. Smell the smoke? lol hmmm... | 22:33 |
| kkrauss | wylde, there is an option on the link you gave me to i nstall from current linux but you have to mess with grub | 22:33 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: your entire operating system is gone, so loading new applications won't work | 22:34 |
| wylde | kkrauss: do you currently have a working ubuntu computer? | 22:34 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: okay, what is that link you sent me | 22:34 |
| kkrauss | yah it has like 10 something on it, thats what I was originally going to use back in the day | 22:34 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: it's a link to a livecd that can help you recover some pictures | 22:34 |
| wylde | kkrauss: and does your old computer support PXE booting? Will it boot from the network card? | 22:34 |
| kkrauss | but it was a weird install and buggy | 22:34 |
| kkrauss | yes it will boot from network just not usb, thats what im looking at now is pxe | 22:35 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: but you'll have to use another computer to download and burn it to a cd | 22:35 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: okay thank you, what is a livecd and how do i get it? | 22:35 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: oh okay thank you | 22:35 |
| kkrauss | wylde, wow didnt expect to ahve to play with my router to do this | 22:35 |
| wylde | kkrauss: play with your router? | 22:35 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: i am afraid i don't have another computer! thank you so much for your help :( | 22:35 |
| kkrauss | wylde, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet | 22:36 |
| wylde | kkrauss: oh dhcp | 22:36 |
| kkrauss | wylde network install looks petty intense lol | 22:36 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: you should turn your computer off soon, though, so it doesn't get worse | 22:36 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: you'll have to do it manually, by holding down the button. but write down that url | 22:37 |
| goaway | gr33n7007h: cheese1756: how about traces left behind on my computer? like a history of what networks i've been connected to? | 22:37 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: but the blinking line is gone | 22:37 |
| gr33n7007h | goaway, you can manually remove them | 22:38 |
| wylde | kkrauss: moment. I've not done a PXE installer setup. But it's not exceptionally different from my LTSP setup. (I have 2 computers the have no hard disk and bott and run entirely off the server) | 22:38 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: your filesystem is journaled which means it's making records of changes | 22:38 |
| goaway | gr33n7007h: where can i find them? | 22:38 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: okay thank you what does that mean | 22:38 |
| wylde | wow, I think my fingers are drunk >.< I'm sure you get what I meant at least | 22:38 |
| gr33n7007h | what network manager are you using | 22:38 |
| cheese1756 | goaway: Usually, yes | 22:39 |
| cheese1756 | You could use something like TAILS, too | 22:39 |
| cheese1756 | Or another LiveCD | 22:39 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: it means that some of the data will be more difficult to recover the longer that it's on | 22:39 |
| kkrauss | wylde, well ill be back I have to take a shower then go to walmart then im good | 22:39 |
| goaway | gr33n7007h: whatever the default nm in bt5r2 is | 22:40 |
| gr33n7007h | goaway, wicd then | 22:40 |
| wylde | kkrauss: no problem. I browse through that and see if I can make it a bit more straight forward for you. | 22:40 |
| goaway | cheese1756: where can i read about tails? | 22:40 |
| wylde | I'll | 22:40 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: okay thank you, will my facebook be back when i turn it back on | 22:40 |
| cheese1756 | goaway: Distrowatch would be a good first start | 22:40 |
| cheese1756 | Then check their website | 22:40 |
| vlt | Hello. How can I install a package (with apt or aptitude) without (re)starting any processes? (Similar to what `debootstrap --include` does.) | 22:40 |
| cheese1756 | It's just a LiveCD, like an Ubuntu LiveCD | 22:40 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: your facebook is hosted online, so it won't be affected | 22:41 |
| goaway | cheese1756: oh, nevermind then :p | 22:41 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: if that's where your pictures are then you don't have to worry about it | 22:41 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: but when i click the icon for facebook, it says 'failed to excete child process' | 22:41 |
| gr33n7007h | goaway, Is this someone elses network by any chance? | 22:41 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: no my pictures were in 'pictures' and now i can't open 'pictures' :( | 22:41 |
| cheese1756 | goaway: Naturally, check the laws of your home country and make sure you aren't violating them | 22:41 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: the program you used to access facebook is gone, but facebook is still online | 22:41 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: okay are you sure | 22:42 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: you wouldn't happen to still have them on a camera or something would you? | 22:42 |
| goaway | gr33n7007h: i'm not doing anything malicious. just asking out of curiosity! | 22:42 |
| lostogre_ | where is dlm_pcmk? | 22:42 |
| lostogre_ | I need dlm_controld.pcmk and I cannot find it! | 22:42 |

| goaway | cheese1756: it's an open wifi network :p | 22:43 |
| gr33n7007h | goaway, ok no probs anyway | 22:43 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: no my son deleted the camera :( | 22:43 |
| goaway | i just don't like traces | 22:43 |
| mneptok | goaway: Backtrack is not supported here. | 22:43 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: deleted the data on the camera? or the camera icon | 22:43 |
| waxstone | im experiencing the bug mentioned here http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu im trying to fix by turning off "Enable hardware accelaration" in flash player but the checkbox cannot be unchecked | 22:43 |

| goaway | mneptok: go away! nice people are already answering my questions... | 22:43 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: deleted the photos on my camera card, then he put lots of pictures of penis on it from the internet :( | 22:44 |
| lostogre_ | What happened to the dlm-pcmk package in precise? | 22:44 |
| mneptok | goaway: those are the rules that everyone must follow. | 22:44 |
| goaway | i'm not asking about backtrack | 22:44 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: he said it was a joke | 22:44 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: some of those may be recoverable too if it's not full | 22:44 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: the original pictures i mean | 22:45 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: the penis? i deleted them all | 22:45 |
| beatiful_sora | wawowe: because i had no space left on the camera for new photos, it said 'memory full' so i deleted all the penis, then it didn't say 'memory full' anymore | 22:46 |
| goaway | gr33n7007h: so the history can be accessed from within the network manager? | 22:46 |

| beatiful_sora | wawowe: okay | 22:47 |
| cheese1756 | beatiful_sora: I hope you disciplined your son pretty strongly for all this | 22:47 |
| goaway | mneptok: wow there must be a sale on high horses these days | 22:47 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: for the penis or the blinking line? | 22:48 |
| cheese1756 | Both | 22:48 |
| cheese1756 | By blinking line, I assume you mean rm -rf /? | 22:48 |
| mneptok | goaway: i am asking nicely. i do not want to actually saddle up. | 22:48 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: yes that | 22:48 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: you should consider getting a flash drive to store your pictures on in the future | 22:48 |
| goaway | mneptok: you already got your chaps on | 22:48 |
| ikonia | ok, I'm getting bored with this now | 22:48 |
| wawowe | beatiful_sora: that no one else knows about | 22:48 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: also the other day he set the microwave on fire! i am at a wits end! | 22:49 |
| gr33n7007h | goaway, delete the wicd logs | 22:49 |
| cheese1756 | beatiful_sora: Sorry if this was already asked, but do you have backups? | 22:49 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: i am afraid not :( | 22:49 |
| cheese1756 | beatiful_sora: You might want to purchase an external USB drive in the future, about double your hard drive space should be fine. I learned that the hard way | 22:49 |
| waxstone | Hi need help. Im experiencing the bug mentioned here http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu im trying to fix by turning off "Enable hardware accelaration" in flash player but the checkbox cannot be unchecked | 22:50 |
| lostogre_ | What happened to the dlm-pcmk package in precise? | 22:50 |
| cheese1756 | waxstone: That happened to me too | 22:50 |
| cheese1756 | When I restarted later on, the box was accessible | 22:50 |
| lostogre_ | It says it was superseded by another package, but that package doesn't exist either. | 22:50 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: i have a usb stick, is this correct | 22:51 |
| cheese1756 | beatiful_sora: What I typically do is I backup my most important files to Dropbox, a USB stick, and an external hard drive, then I'll back up the slightly less important stuff to the USB drive, then just about everything to the external one | 22:52 |
| cheese1756 | In addition to syncing some folders between computers | 22:52 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: okay my usb stick also was filled with penis by my son :( | 22:53 |
| waxstone | in ubuntu 12.04 why is Abode Flash Player settings disabled? | 22:53 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: he has done this to my camera and usb and phone and digital photo frame! | 22:54 |
| kkrauss | beatiful_sora, wtf ware you talking about | 22:54 |
| cheese1756 | beatiful_sora: You might want to password protect access to your computer, and maybe try to identify why your son is acting this way, taking him to help if necessary | 22:54 |
| cheese1756 | If you haven't already | 22:54 |
| beatiful_sora | kkrauss: my son did it :( | 22:54 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: he said it was a joke :( | 22:54 |
| kkrauss | your usb stick was filled with male genitalia by your son? | 22:54 |

| aleprovencio | hello guys, can i map 'key to show the launcher' to any key combination which does not involve the <super> key? | 22:55 |
| cheese1756 | After a reboot or two, the option was available | 22:55 |
| beatiful_sora | kkrauss: he is 15 | 22:55 |
| supadiva | waxtone, there is a flash setting applet in your launchpad | 22:55 |
| cheese1756 | Yeah, way too old to think that that is funny | 22:55 |
| cheese1756 | And just a joke | 22:56 |
| kkrauss | beatiful_sora, so this is what you do, you go lock him and yourself in a room together, and tell him you are going to play a little joke on him. Then you beat him to within an inch of his life, adn then ask him if that was funny. | 22:56 |
| kkrauss | !parenting :) | 22:56 |
| supadiva | waxtone, just type "flash" for search | 22:56 |
| beatiful_sora | kkrauss: i do not think he would find that funny :( | 22:57 |
| kkrauss | beatiful_sora, thats the point!!! beat that kids ass! | 22:57 |
| waxstone | supadiva, not seeing anything under flash or adobe for settings | 22:57 |

| lorddelta | Greetings, I have severe pulseaudio problems; what is the procedure to follow to fix these days? By severe, I mean; pulseaudio and my hardware drivers don't get along all of a sudden, after working decently well in 10.04-11.10, running 12.04. I have sound cards, alsa is all set up correctly, as far as I can tell, it seems my issue is that I cannot select my sound card as the pulseaudio driver. Should I just | 23:02 |
| lorddelta | get rid of this **** by the name of pulseaudio? Why do I need it? | 23:02 |
| cheese1756 | By the way, do you want to salvage the data? | 23:02 |
| cheese1756 | Or do you not care about it? | 23:02 |
| kkrauss | beatiful_sora, I suggest you first go and beat that kids ass, and then tell him to fix what he did. | 23:02 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: i am afraid not, but there is a laptop if that helps | 23:02 |
| ikonia | lorddelta: drop the language | 23:02 |
| maheanuu | vit, the above was meant for you sorry I will get rite from now on | 23:02 |
| cheese1756 | Yeah, a laptop will work | 23:02 |
| lorddelta | ikonia: I did. Self sensored. | 23:02 |
| cheese1756 | For now, start downloading Ubuntu on that computer | 23:02 |
| cheese1756 | Do you have a blank CD available? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | lorddelta: if you have to star a word out - don't use it | 23:03 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: okay, how do i do that | 23:03 |
| cheese1756 | Or a blank USB drive | 23:03 |
| IdleOne | lorddelta: if you need to * things out, don't say them. | 23:03 |
| cheese1756 | Oh wait, yeah, you do have a blank USB drive | 23:03 |
| beatiful_sora | cheese1756: yes, although my son has filled it with penis, does this matter? | 23:03 |
| cheese1756 | You will need to format it anyway to install Ubuntu. Was there anything important on it? | 23:04 |

| lorddelta | ...great, I guess I'll have to go fix it by myself, as usuall. I apologize for the language. If it helps anyone else though, I think there may be a kernel level issue...I don't know how. But I'm pretty sure whatever is messing with pulseaudio completely crashed the entire system. I had to reboot after it crashed. | 23:04 |
| vlt | maheanuu: Well, “better” as in newer or more stable or easier to use or more suited for older machines or older users …? | 23:05 |
| cheese1756 | lorddelta: Do you want to set a card as default in Alsa? | 23:05 |
| maheanuu | vit, I am running 10.04.4 64 bit now on this notebook, but I am having sound and skype problems eversince the re install of 10.04.4 | 23:05 |
| lorddelta | cheese1756: No. I want to set it as default in pulseaudio... | 23:05 |
| lorddelta | cheese1756: its already default in alsa. | 23:05 |
| cheese1756 | Oh, ok | 23:06 |
| vlt | maheanuu: My suggestion would be: Install 12.04 to a separate area of the disk and try whether it works better for your needs. (It’s “vlt”, btw.) | 23:06 |
| maheanuu | vit, I am running a Toshiba Satellite A355D 64 bit laptop and was running 9 and 10 on it before I had a major drive failure and had to do a complete reiinstall | 23:07 |
| maheanuu | vltOk, couldn't see it in the gold lettering looked like an i to me | 23:07 |
| maheanuu | I think that I will download the live version if they have it and drop it on a usb device and then do a live and see... My problem is getting all the Flash and Audio/Video stuff working again.... So far with 10.04 I lose skype and audio regularly for no reason that I can determine | 23:09 |
| lorddelta | maheanuu: Yay driver bugs. | 23:10 |

| DarwinSurvivor | HBX: people still use medibuntu? | 23:18 |

| HBX | webup8.org has an updated ppa | 23:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: please provide details about what you did and any errors/problems you encountered | 23:21 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, I tried all the all the solutions listed none work. cannot chenge settings in flash player | 23:21 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, i.e. right clicking on video-->settings | 23:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: so you followed the instructions without getting any errors (appears to have been fixed), but the video is still blue? | 23:22 |
| === Shaitan|BIG is now known as andyw | ||
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: "cannot change" tells me nothing. did right-click not work, was the option not there (or grayed out), did it make no difference, etc? | 23:23 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, correct. all except the one for the flash player i tried without success | 23:23 |
| skulltip | somehow, in both unity and unity 2d, 12.04 - the top menu went from the top bar of the screen back to the top bar of the application, being qtcreator.. wonder if i hit something | 23:23 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, the checkbox cannot be unchecked in the flash settings | 23:23 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest64779 | ||
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: ok, so is the color fixed in everything except flash now? | 23:24 |
| skulltip | the File, Edit, Build.. moved from the top panel to the top of the application as it normally would be. | 23:24 |
| ClientAlive | I got it. thx anway | 23:24 |
| ClientAlive | :) | 23:24 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, color has always worked in everthing except videos like on youtube | 23:24 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, red shows as blue | 23:25 |
| krababbel | waxstone: google libvdpau1 flash blue | 23:25 |
| ClientAlive | ikonia: sorry for the delay. I'm trying to install windows 7 as a kvm virtual machine (except it's the upgrade edition) - I know, pretty crazy eh?? :) I do have ubuntu 12.04 server as the host though so figured it was ok to ask here. It's a complicated mess but I think I've found a way - lol | 23:26 |
| waxstone | The workaround works for me on nvidia 295.40. | 23:27 |
| waxstone | Although the flash player becomes very unstable as others have reported, and it crashes *very* often for me. Disabling hardware acceleration from inside the flash player is also a workaround, by right-clicking the flash player and selecting Settings -- if one wants to keep libvdpau1 for other purposes (like mplayer2/xbmc/etc), for example. | 23:27 |
| waxstone | ^^ according to a post on the site | 23:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: ok, so it is the "blue flash" problem. | 23:28 |
| wawowe | <beatiful_sora> Is that dude with the Flash player issue still there? I just remembered, tell him to open a Flash video in full screen, THEN go into settings and disable hardware acceleration. I had the same problem once, that sorted it for me | 23:28 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, yes a flash issue . is there a stable solution? | 23:28 |
| wawowe | think that was for you waxstone | 23:29 |
| crewza | Haroou | 23:29 |
| Prodigal | I'm running ubuntu on VirtualMachine - how do i turn on the wireless connection through my host? | 23:29 |
| bobweaver | Prodigal, go to settings _> network | 23:29 |
| malkauns_ | u dont | 23:29 |
| skulltip | here is what I mean: http://inky.ws/g/1jk | 23:30 |
| waxstone | fullscreen worked!!!! | 23:30 |
| skulltip | and in unity 3d, i can't find xchat anywhere.. have to alt-tab to try to find it | 23:30 |
| SeaPhor | Prodigal: thats a question to be asked in your VM app's irc | 23:30 |
| waxstone | wawowe, thank you | 23:30 |
| waxstone | if anyone has this issue the solution in disabling hardware accelaration but htis can ONLY be done with the video at fullscreen | 23:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: only at fullscreen, interresting. | 23:32 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, definite bug. you cannot uncheck or access settings successfully unless at fullscreen | 23:32 |
| ClientAlive | there is one annoying thing though that I haven't been able to solve. When I run an installation using virt-manager, after a while the computer goes into hybernation or something no matter if you move the mouse or press a key or what you do. When you come back out of hybernation virt-manager is no longer displayed on the screen (or even my window manager or x for that matter). Instead, a tty session is. The problem is that when this occur | 23:32 |
| ClientAlive | s in the middle of installation there is no way that I know of to get back to virt-manager and the installation in order to continue with it. | 23:32 |
| ClientAlive | what do I do? | 23:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: well, good to hear it's fixed. as for the bug, only Adobe can fix that | 23:32 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, im going to test on another machine, it might be ubuntu's developer version of firefox | 23:34 |
| === VGoff_afk is now known as VGoff | ||
| ClientAlive | is there some way to dissable hybernation from the command line? | 23:34 |
| gr33n7007h | ClientAlive, what ubuntu do you use | 23:38 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, not an issue on firefox for windows | 23:38 |
| waxstone | is there a ubuntu developer channel? | 23:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ClientAlive: do you mean "prevent any user from using it" or "prevent auto-hibernation while SSH'ing into the machine"? | 23:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: I'm sure it's not a firefox issue, but a flash issue (flash for windows is WAY different than flash for linux) | 23:39 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, ok cool | 23:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: I don't *know* of a developer channel, Canonical doesn't actually have very many developers, and those it does have usually use project-specific (ex: Unity) channels | 23:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: what did you want to talk to them about (I will be able to better direct you if I know the background of the question) | 23:40 |
| fosburg | what would be the reason 'draftsight' a drafting application won't load on version 12.04? | 23:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: unless I'm mistaken, isn't that a windows application? | 23:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: and a beta at that...? | 23:42 |
| fosburg | its for linux, windows and OS10 | 23:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: could you provide a link? The only reference I see is for a windows version :( | 23:43 |
| fosburg | yes it is a bata | 23:43 |

| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, no issue in another version of linux(ubuntu Derivative). I just wanted to mention this solution in case it helps solve this bug for other users | 23:43 |
| fosburg | give me a minute | 23:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: oh, nvm, it's just the button that only says windows. | 23:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: the developers are well aware of the issue and there is nothing they can do about it since flash is 100% closed source. Only Adobe can fix it and they have been very clear that linux will only receive *security* updates from now on | 23:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: the reason you are only getting the problem in 12.04 is because 12.04 has the newer flash version (older ones have potential security holes anyways) | 23:45 |
| fosburg | www.3ds.com/DownloadDraftSight is where I did the update | 23:45 |
| waxstone | DarwinSurvivor, ok thanks for the information and for your help | 23:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: Did you install it from the repos, or the .deb file on their website? | 23:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | waxstone: no problem | 23:46 |
| fosburg | it was the .deb (was noted for Ubuntu) and I used the software center to install | 23:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: ok, looks like it's not in the repos, so you must have used the .deb from the site | 23:47 |
| fosburg | yes I did | 23:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: ok, can you please tell us *exactly* what error messages you are getting or what strange behaviour you are observing? | 23:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !details | 23:47 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:47 |
| fosburg | I cant remember the error message I saw Once--but it would start to install and then just stop | 23:48 |
| fosburg | do you think that the application has not been upgraded to 12.04? | 23:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: ok, so the issue is that it won't even install. Unfortunately, without knowing what the error message was, there's not much we can do. Can you try installing it again and record the error message? | 23:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: that's a question only the developers can answer unfortunately | 23:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: if you can poste the output, I may be able to determine if it is looking for 11.10 libraries | 23:50 |
| fosburg | Thanks--I will try to install again and copy the air message | 23:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fosburg: can you install from the command line? It will provide a LOT more information | 23:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | "sudo dpkg -i name_of_package.deb" | 23:51 |
| fosburg | I probably won't get back to you until tomorrow---about this time | 23:51 |
| fosburg | thanks again for the feed back | 23:52 |
| jcao219 | my friend is having a curious problem with the installer | 23:53 |
| jcao219 | i will show you a screenshot, but basically the installer does not show certain text, but when you take a screenshot of it, it will show it in the screenshot | 23:53 |
| t-mart | how can I replace 12.04 unity's shell interface with standard gdm (like back in 10.04-ish)? i've found information on removing all the unity packages, but i'm wondering if i actually need to do something so extreme. is there setting i can just toggle, etc? | 23:54 |
| jcao219 | Here's the really curious screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/GaEGg.jpg | 23:54 |
| xangua | !nounity | t-mart | 23:55 |
| ubottu | t-mart: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 23:55 |
| t-mart | sorry * like 11.04 | 23:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | t-mart: if you are talking about gnome-2 (gdm is actually the login screen), then gnome-2 no longer exists (it was discontinued by its own developers in favor of gnome-shell) | 23:56 |

| Nod51_ | Problem: I bought a AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-75 / ATI RV710 laptop from a friend that will white screen (but still run fine) randomly in Linux or Windows(XP/7), but I decided to use it as a server. Everything was working fine till I tried to scp from from my current server over at shich point I get: "Corrupted MAC on input." "Disconnecting: Packet corrupt" "lost connection". Network wires are good, but if I run 1 or more CPU intensive tasks, say bur | 23:56 |
| Nod51_ | nK7 or memtester, scp works fine. I tried: -running a 3 day memtest (all pass between the white screens) - changing the ram - disabled CPU scaling at 2200mhz (it's max) or 1ghz but no change. If I have it at 2200mhz and run 2 burnK7 it will shutdown in around a minute. | 23:56 |
| t-mart | DarwinSurvivor, mmm. yea, i am talking about gnome-2 | 23:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jcao219: can you also post a screenshot (for comparison of to photo)? | 23:56 |
| jcao219 | DarwinSurvivor, the screenshot is in the photo | 23:57 |
| t-mart | and thanks xangua | 23:57 |
| jcao219 | he pulls it up in the picture viewer | 23:57 |
| BentFranklin | Installed Ubuntu Server on a machine. It's repos don't know emacs. Any reason I can't just teach it the normal ubuntu repos and go ahead and install emacs? | 23:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | t-mart: well, as I said, gnome-2 is dead. There are a couple forks, but they are not yet ready. Feel free to try gnome-shell, kde, xfce, or lmde (xfce and lmde are fairly traditional) | 23:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jcao219: so it is :P | 23:57 |
| SeaPhor | or try Mint | 23:58 |
| ClientAlive | DarwinSurvivor: sorry for the delay - was googling for answers :) My Ubuntu 12.04 installation is just the host system for virtualization. It should never, ever hybernate, suspend, do any kind of screensaver or any other thing like that. I'm not certain what the cause of my aformentioned symptoms are but I know any things like that should either not exist (preferably) or be off. | 23:58 |
| jcao219 | very strange, he's going to restart and try again | 23:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jcao219: have him do that. If it happens again, *please* file a bug report as that's a fairly serious problem (especially for the installer) | 23:58 |
| jcao219 | alright, i'll make sure to tell him that | 23:59 |
| t-mart | DarwinSurvivor, ok. just really haven't gotten used to the apple-like application-menu-in-top-taskbar thing and what i consider awkward window resizing | 23:59 |
| LoOoD | Hey all, have a question. So in ubuntu 10.04/lucid I have ldap working with ssh/sudo. But with ubuntu 12.04/precise, only ssh works. When I do a "getent group groupname" in precise, the group name/id displays but no members are lists. In lucid getent return the grouname/id and the members. ANy ideas what I'm missing? | 23:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ClientAlive: if you just want to stop it from doing it automatically, just go into system settings -> power and turn it off :) | 23:59 |
