| ClientAlive | I don't have a system settings - I'm running minimal, so cli and editing files is my only options I think | 00:00 |
| ClientAlive | I have awesome window manager on there but even it is something that one configures with files (lua is what it uses) | 00:01 |
| aot2002 | I just loaded ubuntu 12.04 on my T410 lenovo but I have no mouse / trackpad. I tried plugging in a external mouse but that didn't work either. Any ideas what else I can do? | 00:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ClientAlive: if you are running minimal then suspend and hibernate should never happen automatically (unless you install the gnome power manager or something | 00:02 |
| phunyguy | what is the easiest way to burn a .dmg image to DVD that is bootable in Ubuntu? | 00:02 |
| ClientAlive | ahh. I see. I saw something called xscreensaver while googling. I do have xorg and xdm... ? | 00:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: first the simple stuff: Have you tried toggling ALL the Fn+etc combos for mice? Some lenovo systems actually have *2* mouse-disable hotkeys | 00:03 |
| aot2002 | Yes | 00:03 |
| ClientAlive | maybe something like: "dpkg list | grep xscreensaver" would tell me if it's installed - is my command right tho? | 00:03 |
| phunyguy | or is it possible to make a bootable USB out of a .dmg | 00:03 |
| aot2002 | Wait 2 mouse disable keys? | 00:03 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | hey, do I need firewall in linux like with ubuntu to keep unauthorized access to my pc? I'm mainly talking about home/public network, or will I know it if someone is trying to break into my ubuntu | 00:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: look up your model in http://www.thinkwiki.org/ I found this VERY, VERY informative when installing on my x220 | 00:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ClientAlive: yes, that should find it, but with minimal unless YOU installed it, it shouldn't be there :) | 00:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phunyguy: .dmg as in an Apple installer or .img as in a CD/USB image? | 00:05 |
| phunyguy | .dmg as an apple installer | 00:05 |
| ClientAlive | ok. In that case, what would you look into next to isolate the source of the problem? | 00:05 |
| phunyguy | apple image anyway | 00:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: rare, but I do believe a couple models have it (one for touchpad, one for nib or something) | 00:05 |
| phunyguy | DarwinSurvivor** | 00:05 |
| bobweaver | Hello there fellow ubuntu'ers Hope that you are having a wonderful night/day/whatever. I am looking for template's for Impress that are Ubuntu based or Canonical based any idea where to find. Or should I just make my own ? Thanks for your time. :) | 00:05 |
| wawowe | n1ckn4me09876543: no | 00:05 |
| ClientAlive | the awesome wm? But I though window managers had nothing to do with power saving or screen savers | 00:06 |
| phunyguy | hahaha, nice nickname, any relation to apple? | 00:06 |
| aot2002 | Yes I don't see t410 with ubuntu 12.04 but I see ubuntu says all hardware is certified properly. I also noticed wifi is not working. | 00:06 |
| t-mart | n1ckn4me09876543, are you behind a router? and if so, do you not trust your family? | 00:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: did you test the hardware with the pre-installed OS to rule out defective hardware? | 00:07 |
| phunyguy | aot2002: check your wireless switch on the side of the laptop | 00:07 |
| aot2002 | Yes been working fine for over a year. | 00:07 |
| phunyguy | <--- t420 here | 00:07 |
| aot2002 | Wifi is on | 00:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phunyguy: .dmg files are NOT bootable iso's. They are basically a glorified .zip file with some install instructions (sort of like a .deb actually). What is your objective with the .dmg file? | 00:08 |
| aot2002 | I did install from a usb stick but maybe I need to try alternatives like redownloading.. I find it strange it would just not work. | 00:08 |
| phunyguy | aot2002: press function f5 | 00:08 |
| phunyguy | lol | 00:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: did they work when using the live-USB session? | 00:08 |
| aot2002 | No | 00:09 |
| ClientAlive | I think it just did that crap to me again - I messes up my install | 00:09 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | wawowe: no..what? t-mart: yes I'm behind a router. I'm new to linux and still trying to understand it, I normally use Comodo Firewall in windows and have it set to Paranoid Mode which tells me any connection going in and out my pc. | 00:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: yes, lenovo actually has TWO wireless enable functions. one is a switch, the other is Fn+F5 like phunyguy said | 00:09 |

| krababbel | n1ckn4me09876543: no, you don't need one if you trust everyone behind the router | 00:09 |
| aot2002 | Yup both are enabled... Also dmesg does not report a mouse | 00:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: can you pastebin "lspci"? | 00:10 |
| aot2002 | DarwinSurvivor: Since it's not on the net it's going to be a very rough time to get the output to pastebin. | 00:10 |
| aot2002 | Also no mouse | 00:10 |
| aot2002 | What are you looking for in lspci I can help find it. | 00:10 |
| ooldirty | oh dear sweet jaysus. this is like being at work. | 00:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: can you transport stuff via usb? | 00:11 |
| aot2002 | Gigbit network connection from intel does show up | 00:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: any mention of the mouse or wireless card | 00:11 |
| t-mart | n1ckn4me09876543, unless you're running a server of some kind which has been "port forwarded" to the external Internet, than I wouldn't worry. Let's get at a more important question though: have you ever found anyone breaking into your computer with that Windows firewall? | 00:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: ok, try using wired for the pastebin stuff | 00:11 |
| === brian__ is now known as brianfreud | ||
| aot2002 | Okay I see 6200 N for intel wifi so it sees it | 00:12 |
| phunyguy | DarwinSurvivor: FYI, my lspci shows no mouse or keyboard | 00:12 |
| phunyguy | nor does lsusb | 00:12 |
| aot2002 | lsusb shows the mouse I have plugged into the computer | 00:13 |
| aot2002 | If I can get the mouse working then I can at least use wired to continue to debug. | 00:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phunyguy: mice and keyboards typically don't show up. they are normally actually usb devices (internal usb) and should show up in lsusb | 00:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phunyguy: oops, missed your next comment :( | 00:13 |
| phunyguy | i would imagine the hardware is similar between our laptops, mine is a t420, just 1 year newer | 00:13 |
| phunyguy | 410 was last years | 00:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phunyguy: actually, they don't show up in my lsusb either (lenovo x220), so that test probably means nothing | 00:14 |
| aot2002 | It does show up on my machine | 00:14 |
| phunyguy | buncha lenovo lovers here | 00:14 |
| phunyguy | :P | 00:14 |
| aot2002 | :) | 00:14 |
| phunyguy | im a t420s actually. the slim one | 00:14 |
| aot2002 | Any other idea's? | 00:14 |
| === Youri is now known as Iruoy | ||

| aot2002 | Keyboard works fine | 00:15 |
| hbx_ | cant wait for the new AMD fusion a10 chips to come out | 00:15 |
| phunyguy | oh.. touchpad? | 00:15 |
| aot2002 | I'm at a terminal and able to type | 00:15 |
| aot2002 | Yup touchpad or track pointer both don't work. An external usb mouse doesn't work either. It's like the entire mouse is disabled. | 00:15 |
| phunyguy | USB root hub seems to not be working | 00:16 |
| phunyguy | but you said wifi is dead too | 00:16 |
| aot2002 | Yes wifi dead too | 00:16 |
| phunyguy | which narrows it down to PCI bus | 00:16 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t-mart, yea.. like home ip address like 192.168.1.1 is me i see something pops up like 192.168.2.1 or something like that, | 00:16 |
| phunyguy | something really wonky going on with your laptop | 00:16 |
| aot2002 | I wonder if the installation I used from this usb stick is crapped out? | 00:17 |
| phunyguy | it could be... try to recreate it... | 00:17 |
| SeaPhor | no. some lappys have a touchpad disable key/fn-key/or button | 00:17 |
| phunyguy | maybe try to redownload the iso, or make it with another method | 00:17 |
| aot2002 | k | 00:17 |
| phunyguy | unetbootn works well | 00:17 |
| phunyguy | dont have to download the iso with it | 00:17 |
| phunyguy | you just tell it you want it to make a USB stick with Ubuntu 12.04 on it | 00:17 |
| t-mart | n1ckn4me09876543, everything* in 192.168.x.x is safe. it refers to other computers on your LAN. | 00:18 |
| leto_ | anyone have a lenovo x1? how is it with ubuntu? | 00:19 |
| === LKJ_ is now known as Guest57235 | ||
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t-mart: yes, but when it tries to get into my computer doesnt it mean they trying to connect to mine? | 00:19 |
| phunyguy | n1ckn4me09876543: thta is acceptable | 00:19 |
| phunyguy | that* | 00:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aot2002: if you reboot from the usb stick, chose the "Check disk for defects" that will tell you if the usb is bad | 00:20 |
| phunyguy | computers do that.. like discovery. | 00:20 |
| phunyguy | good call. | 00:20 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | phunyguy: hmm ok | 00:20 |
| t-mart | n1ckn4me09876543, not maliciously. it's likely network discovery chatter...other computers just trying to figure out what the network looks like | 00:20 |
| OerHeks | leto_, lenovo x1 is certified >> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7945/ | 00:20 |
| dimholt | Hey guys. A new Linux user here who needs help formatting my drive. It doesn't work... Can someone help me? | 00:20 |
| phunyguy | dimholt: need a specific error | 00:21 |
| leto_ | oh, that's good, thanks OerHeks | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dimholt: use gparted | 00:21 |
| dimholt | phunyguy: I've been following a guide using fdisk, creating partitions, filesystems etc, but when I reboot, the old table is still being read and my changes aren't made. | 00:22 |
| escott | dimholt, how big is the disk? | 00:22 |
| dimholt | ActionParsnip: allright, I'll check that out =) Thanks. | 00:22 |
| dimholt | escott: it's 300gb. | 00:22 |
| OerHeks | leto_, awesome specs | 00:23 |
| Milos_SD | Hi | 00:23 |
| dimholt | Been following this guide: http://www.ehow.com/how_1000631_hard-drive-linux.html | 00:23 |
| leto_ | OerHeks: I'm looking at those new thinkpad x1 they just announced | 00:23 |
| dimholt | But when I reboot, nothing has changed. | 00:24 |
| Milos_SD | is there a way to get my self a root access with rw on / partition in this new recovery console? | 00:24 |
| escott | dimholt, i'd certainly use the gui, or use "parted" instead of fdisk. if the computer is more or less brand new it might have gpt/uefi in which case fdisk is not the correct partitioning tool. you dont get any warnings messages from fdisk? | 00:24 |
| escott | Milos_SD, mount -o remount,rw / | 00:24 |
| dimholt | escott: Yeah, there was a warning, good you mentioned it. Problem is, everything fucked up when I tried to install new nVidia drivers. X broke completely. When I tried to fix it, I ended up with just a black screen with a blinking caret. Now running from bootUSB to reformat and redo everything. | 00:25 |
| dimholt | escott: one sec, I'll check the warning. | 00:26 |
| psusi | dimholt, if you want to reinstall, then boot the installer... no need to use fdisk | 00:26 |
| === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk | ||
| Milos_SD | escott, thanks ... now I can restore my /etc/group file, that I exidently messed up :D | 00:27 |
| dimholt | psusi: thing is, the gui won't run, even from the boot disk. That's what's messed up. Seems everything is broken. | 00:27 |
| Milos_SD | and I don't have 64bit livecd/usb | 00:27 |
| dimholt | escott: error is "WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)" | 00:29 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest15876 | ||
| escott | dimholt, thats usually not a problem. just means you need to run the command partprobe to get the kernel to update the table, once you reboot the kernel will reread anyways | 00:29 |
| dimholt | escott: I figured, but it doesn't. I | 00:30 |
| escott | dimholt, so how old is the motherboard on this computer? | 00:30 |
| dimholt | 'm trying to format the only HDD on the computer. It doesn't seem to be running the boot disk maybe. But I've done that many times and I know I'm doing it right. | 00:30 |
| dimholt | Hmm, a few years. | 00:30 |
| escott | dimholt, that would likely rule out uefi (unless its a mac) | 00:31 |
| dimholt | Okay, don't know what uefi is =( | 00:31 |
| dimholt | I'ts not a Mac. | 00:31 |
| dimholt | Gamin PC, few years old. | 00:31 |
| dimholt | All I want to do is just erase everything and try again from the boot disk... If I can get the Ubuntu installer from the boot disk to work, then I can manage on my own. | 00:32 |
| gr33n7007h | dimholt, use dd | 00:34 |
| escott | dimholt, if the data on the disk can be trashed you could try a low level command to blow away the table. "dd bs=512 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1" | 00:34 |
| dimholt | Just "dd"? | 00:34 |
| dimholt | Aight, I'll try that. | 00:34 |
| escott | dimholt, make sure /dev/sda is the correct device first | 00:35 |
| dimholt | Yeah, it says "Device" on everything, makes me a bit confused. | 00:35 |
| dimholt | I have "/dev/sdb1" | 00:35 |
| dimholt | And I also have "/dev/sda1", "/dev/sda2" and "/dev/sda5" | 00:36 |
| psusi | dimholt, what do you mean? what happens when you boot the install disk? | 00:36 |
| escott | dimholt, sda is probably the internal hard drive and sdb is the probably the usb boot disk | 00:36 |
| dimholt | psusi: Tbh, I'm not sure that it runs the boot disk, which confuses me a bit. | 00:36 |
| dimholt | I get the computer name as the user. | 00:37 |
| dimholt | "root@computername" | 00:37 |
| psusi | dimholt, well you need to go into the bios and make sure it is set to boot from the install disk | 00:37 |
| escott | dimholt, are you removing the usb stick before trying to reboot? | 00:37 |
| dimholt | psusi: Yeah, I'm sure I've got that right... Maybe I've accidentally formatted the boot disk? | 00:37 |
| dimholt | escott: no, it's there. | 00:38 |
| psusi | dimholt, you have the bios set to boot from usb before the hard drive? | 00:38 |
| dimholt | If it's not, I just get the black screen with the blinking caret, unable to type or anything. | 00:38 |
| dimholt | Yesl | 00:38 |
| dimholt | I've even deactivated the hard drive to test. | 00:38 |
| psusi | dimholt, then rebuild the boot disk | 00:38 |
| escott | dimholt, when you say "boot disk" thats really confusing. the "boot disk" is whatever you boot from. it could be the internal hdd or the liveusb install device | 00:38 |
| dimholt | Yeah, I better try that. | 00:38 |
| dimholt | Okay, sorry. I've been meaning the USB flash disk. | 00:39 |
| dimholt | I'll try rebuilding the USB booter. | 00:40 |

| Germanaz0 | hello everybody | 00:59 |
| windbuntu | doktah have you tried using the open source driver instead of the ati driver? | 00:59 |
| Germanaz0 | I have an error on the new ubuntu 12.04 | 00:59 |
| L3top | doktah: Which video driver are you using? | 00:59 |
| Germanaz0 | ubuntu crash very often | 00:59 |
| Germanaz0 | and don't know how to fix | 00:59 |
| doktah | how would I go about that windbuntu? | 01:00 |
| L3top | The fglrx driver wont work right on that card... so hopefully windbuntu | 01:00 |
| L3top | R*5|6|7 are not supported by the current driver. | 01:01 |
| L3top | doktah: what driver are you currently using? | 01:01 |
| doktah | just the ati one | 01:01 |
| windbuntu | i know that on my system, ubuntu offered me a proprietay driver, but it would not work, so i left it as is and it works very nicely and i just checked and ubuntu 12.04 says i am using no proprietary drivers. | 01:02 |
| wawowe | Germanaz0: what's the error? | 01:02 |
| Germanaz0 | don't know | 01:02 |
| doktah | none of this was happening before I tried to use a TV as a secondary via the sviddy | 01:02 |
| Germanaz0 | I cant read the problem | 01:02 |
| Germanaz0 | it crash | 01:02 |
| Germanaz0 | but for example, when I open software center | 01:03 |

| L3top | ok... then you are using the appropriate driver. | 01:05 |
| doktah | I figgered | 01:05 |
| * L3top wouldn't expect much if anything to display on the proprietary one. | 01:06 | |
| HareyJ | I'm having a severe problem with 12.04 in graphical mode, I suspect it's the video drivers. nvidia 8800m gts on my laptop. The system just freezes after I login and toy around for about 60 seconds or so. mouse will still move, but nothing else works, no keyboard, nothing. Seen this error reported out on the net but I haven't seen any fixes for it yet. | 01:06 |
| wawowe | Germanaz0: download libapt-pkg4.12.deb and dpkg -i | 01:07 |
| windbuntu | before 12.04, ubuntu would offer me a proprietayr ati driver and i always took it-now, since 12.04 when i try to install the ati driver it says a problem occured and i look and the ati driver is not installed? so i leave it as is and the stock ubuntu driver works good. i am not sure whats up with that but all my 12.04 computers are working good. | 01:08 |
| HareyJ | oh, and 64 bit version too | 01:08 |
| === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D | ||
| windbuntu | proprietary* | 01:08 |
| L3top | windbuntu: it is the driver itself that changed, and the version offered in this release. They drop support like flies. | 01:08 |
| HareyJ | I did try using 2d Unity, made zero difference, still locks up. | 01:09 |
| wawowe | HareyJ: does it lockup if you sit at the login manager? | 01:09 |
| windbuntu | very possible ltop i have not researched it that far, as long as ubuntu comes thru i tend to let stuff like that go and report only what i cannot fix, i guess ultimately i prefer ti use the drivers ubuntu offers as stock drivers if at all possible. | 01:10 |
| windbuntu | the 1st time i noticed this issue was on my asus laptop which uses the ati 5870 card, so i mentioned it when i saw doktak 's comment. | 01:11 |
| HareyJ | wawowe: Yes, it does in fact, the first time I turned it on it did that. | 01:11 |
| wawowe | HareyJ: can you ctrl+alt+f1 before it locks? | 01:11 |
| HareyJ | wawowe: it takes somewhere between 30 seconds and 2 minutes to freeze up, not long enough for me to change the graphics driver. Yes I can get to console, but I have to stay there, if I try to switch back after that time is up, it locks as before. | 01:12 |
| wawowe | HareyJ: switch to the console and do: tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log > new | 01:13 |
| tyler_d | >> | 01:13 |
| HareyJ | wawowe: I was tailing the system logs, and did see something about the graphics driver at some point, but I haven't seriously used linux in ages so I'm at a loss here.. | 01:13 |
| wawowe | HareyJ: then switch back and let it lockup then reboot | 01:13 |
| wawowe | HareyJ: are there any errors in the log? | 01:14 |

Yes, there was something about the graphics driver but I didn't fully catch it, an error it looked like... I'd have to reboot to the OS and install a console irc client to get you more | 01:15 |

| wawowe | HareyJ: if i had to guess what it was, i'd say lightdm | 01:19 |
| L3top | HareyJ: did you install the proprietary driver (nvidia-current) or are you using the default nouveau | 01:19 |
| wawowe | HareyJ: the login manager | 01:19 |
| qubuntu | i connected my HP monitor to my Ubuntu laptop via VGA. but Ubuntu doesn't seem to detect my HP monitor as it's still on standby. how do i get Ubuntu to detect it? | 01:19 |
| HareyJ | L3top: It was the nvidia one by default as far as I can tell, I didn't specifically install anything other than clicking "install 3d party software and drivers" at the install. | 01:19 |
| L3top | qubuntu: Have you used the fn + f key to change the output? | 01:20 |
| philip | y | 01:20 |
| philip | justin | 01:20 |
| L3top | fn + f* | 01:20 |
| krababbel | HareyJ: then you need to insatll nvidia-current | 01:20 |
| HareyJ | what's the default password for this cd booted version? | 01:20 |
| qubuntu | L3top i tried fn + f on the keyboard and that didn't do anything. | 01:20 |
| L3top | krababbel: if HareyJ clickt install 3rd party then he has the nvidia-current | 01:20 |
| HareyJ | krababbel: I believe it said it was nvidia current, I could briefly get as far as that control panel | 01:20 |
| krababbel | og | 01:21 |
| krababbel | I thought that was just mp3 | 01:21 |
| L3top | qubuntu: it isnt the f key, I mean whichever function key has the image of a monitor on it... fn + f4 on mine | 01:21 |
| HareyJ | shoot, let me just reboot into it... I can irc from console, although it's been 10 years since I tried. hopefully that won't hurt too much ;) | 01:22 |
| wawowe | HareyJ: does passwd ask you for the current password? | 01:22 |
| HareyJ | hold, I'll be back in a minute.. I hope. | 01:22 |

| qubuntu | L3top I went to NVIDIA X Server Settings and I see the HP Display monitor there. but under configuration it says "disabled". i have two options: seperatexscreen or twinview. what do i do? | 01:34 |
| nmatrix9 | Anyone know how to reinstall nvidia drivers for 12.04 | 01:35 |
| L3top | I guess you want to run twinview in clone mode | 01:35 |
| brett__ | but my pc responds to ubuntu better thsn it ever did with win 7 it has never worked as smooth as it does now i just have trouble with some of the programs and i miss some things i could do | 01:35 |
| LordOfTime | nmatrix9: `sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current` ? | 01:35 |

| escott | brett__, you generally should not be downloading programs. instead use apt-get install or synaptic or software center | 01:42 |

| escott | Mike9863, does "sudo lshw -C sound" mention intel HDA (high def audio) and is this a laptop? | 01:45 |
| === angel is now known as Guest95054 | ||
| Mike9863 | escott: Nothing about intel; yes it's a laptop | 01:46 |
| escott | Mike9863, what kind of soundcard is it? | 01:46 |
| Mike9863 | escott: Nevermind that; it does say intel HDA. Sorry. Here's the output: http://pastebin.com/vRraZprN | 01:47 |
| escott | Mike9863, the joys of HDA sound. so a little background is in order | 01:47 |
| escott | Mike9863, intel HDA is a fairly general specification, but each laptop maker has the option of connecting the output ports (called PINS) with different physical jacks. as a result there are an exponential number of board configurations | 01:48 |
| vlt | Hello. A special chroot environment caused this msg: “invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of stop.” This is what I want for other chroots, too. How to achieve this? | 01:49 |
| escott | Mike9863, most likely what has happened is that your kernel is picking the wrong board configuration and is either not detecting the fact that the headphone jack has been inserted, or is outputting sound to the wrong PIN | 01:49 |
| wawowe | vlt: selinux, apparmor | 01:50 |
| vlt | wawowe: hmmm, sounds complicated. | 01:51 |
| escott | Mike9863, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA describes some kernel module options you can try. another approach would be to boot the livecd of a version that works, and downloading the hda_analyzer python script and running it in monitor mode. then plug/unplug into the headphone jack and note what how the PIN configuration is changed in order to make output go to headphones, then you can replicate that on | 01:51 |
| escott | your current system | 01:51 |

| Mike9863 | escott: Thanks I'll look into it. I don't remember having this problem in 11.10. It used to change automatically. | 01:52 |
| escott | Mike9863, this happened to me between 10.10 and 11.04. a patch got dropped somewhere in the kernel build. i waited a few months and it was back to working again | 01:53 |
| escott | Mike9863, in the interim i just manually flipped the pins when I needed it | 01:53 |

| escott | menturi, you can have it automatically install to the free space and it will setup an extended partition with two logical partitions inside. if you want manual partitioning then I would recommend creating an extended partition and putting logical partitions inside it. you are limited to 4 primary partitions (and an extended counts as 1 primary). by creating extended parts you can have hundreds of partitions instead of only 4 | 02:18 |

| elequ | how do I add package lists to apt-get? | 02:19 |
| wawowe | elequ: or apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5* | 02:19 |
| escott | trying2work, details | 02:19 |
| LordOfTime | trying2work: no, i cant, but give the channels details | 02:19 |
| wawowe | elequ: if you mean adding repositories, it's in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 02:20 |
| skulltip | sorry, i gave unity a month but it is either still buggy and not all there yet, or my upgrade didn't go as well as I thought it did. | 02:20 |
| elequ | thanks wawowe! I'm going to try that but I'm actually interested to know where apt-get gets it's information from :) | 02:20 |
| locoguano | can anyone tell me what gtk-3 property controls the color of a slider (not scrollbar)? | 02:20 |
| elequ | poo! yes that | 02:20 |
| skulltip | switching to openbox or lxde | 02:20 |
| phunyguy | yeah lxde runs so much better... :-/ | 02:21 |
| Logan_ | stars69: The package libsqlite3-0-dbg also appears to provide that file in /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/tcltk/sqlite3/. | 02:21 |
| trying2work | escott: I have upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 (64bit). Soon after that, I am not able to print anything from my printer. I tried 2-3 different printers, but none of them worked. When I issue a print command from adobe acrobat reader , there is no response form printer. Or when I issue the command from evince the printer starts to print something. But it gives out a blank page and another page with some error message printed on it. | 02:21 |
| elequ | wawowe, thank you!! | 02:21 |
| nydel | i'm having some problems with dual monitors - i want applications to open on my primary monitor, or to remember where they were closed & open there, but often they don't. then they open halfway between the monitors, in the middle of the workspace. please help, i can't figure this out for the life of me! thank you | 02:21 |
| Logan_ | stars69: Although the libsqlite3-tcl package should be providing that file already. | 02:22 |
| Tyrope | Greetings. I'm trying to install 12.04server on a Windows Virtual PC (Don't have anything else available at school, grr). I recall having to run the parameters 'noreplace-paravirt vga=791' (not 100% on the number) for 11.10desktop, is this still required for 12.04server? | 02:22 |
| escott | trying2work, what kind of printer is it? what does it say in the printers dialog? | 02:22 |
| SomeGuy303-2 | wawowe: no chage with modprobe snd_hda_intel, or modprobe snd_hda_codec_hdmi | 02:22 |
| wawowe | SomeGuy303-2: rmmod | 02:23 |

| trying2work | escott: I have tried with HP 4050 and with Konika minolta c451 printers. The print queue does not give any error message, it shows that the command was processed and the printing was done. The printer prints this error message = "ERROR: invald access OFFENDING COMMAND: filter STACK: /SubFileDecode endstream 0 --nostringval-- " | 02:24 |
| SomeGuy303-2 | wawowe: ERROR: Module snd_hda_intel is in use | 02:24 |

| trying2work | escott: My printer was properly added. It was working before, and it works from another computer with ubuntu 11.10 (where I used exactly the same method for connecting to the printer) | 02:26 |

| === pp7 is now known as malkauns | ||
| wawowe | HareyJ: you could try getting the most recent nvidia driver, if it's a bug the the one in the repository | 02:29 |

| L3top | Anybody know how to reassign media button controls (XF86Audio*) to alsa? My laptop controls don't seem to be tied to anything with a volume meter (in alsamixer). xev shows they are working (as expected due to HUD). | 02:29 |
| HareyJ | wawowe: Yeah, I could see that there was an updated one, but obviously I couldn't get it to install from X without it crashing before the process hardly started.. | 02:30 |
| SomeGuy303-2 | wawowe: all report to be in use... | 02:30 |
| wawowe | L3top: xbindkeys | 02:30 |

| escott | menturi, not exactly | 02:30 |
| wawowe | SomeGuy303-2: they all depend on each other | 02:30 |
| wawowe | SomeGuy303-2: if you're playing music or something stop it, or: lsof | grep snd | 02:31 |
| escott | menturi, this are no extended partitions. everything is primary. that would imply gpt. which would imply uefi? is this a uefi system? | 02:31 |
| escott | trying2work, none of those errors would seem to be related to a print failure | 02:31 |
| escott | trying2work, why dont you try and print something and then check what tail /var/log/cups/error_log says | 02:32 |
| HareyJ | I am seeing odd errors in my console regarding sdc, which to my knowledge I don't have.. | 02:32 |
| trying2work | escott: sure, lemme try that | 02:32 |
| wawowe | HareyJ: check your computer for flash drives haha | 02:33 |
| HareyJ | oh wait, maybe that's my dvdrom drive, but it's not in use.. | 02:33 |
| HareyJ | nope, nothing plugged in | 02:33 |
| menturi | I thought I selected 'logical' instead of 'primary'. I wanted to do what you suggested before, with 'extended' and logical sub-partitions i guess you could call them. I am unsure what 'uefi' means. | 02:33 |
| bluesnow | Hi, I'm having a DNS server problem. I can ping 127.0.0.1 and my default route, but I can't ping any DNS servers. | 02:33 |
| bluesnow | I've turned off firewall/cleared DNS cache/turned off SELinux | 02:34 |
| escott | menturi, is your system brand new? does the "bios" setup screen support the mouse, is it particularly colorful | 02:34 |
| trying2work | escott: this is what it gives http://paste.ubuntu.com/991709/ | 02:34 |
| escott | trying2work, nothing new or interesting there | 02:34 |
| trying2work | escott: by the way there are so many people who have had similar problems, but there is no solution found as yet | 02:35 |
| wawowe | SomeGuy303-2: do this: lsmod | grep snd | cut -c -18 | xargs rmmod | 02:35 |
| escott | trying2work, im not much of an expert on printing. last time i printed something was a few years ago | 02:35 |
| menturi | escott: No, I do not believe so. | 02:35 |
| bluesnow | any idea what could be the reason for being unable to ping dns servers? | 02:35 |
| wawowe | SomeGuy303-2: until all the modules are unloaded | 02:35 |
| trying2work | escott: anyway thanks for your time | 02:36 |
| wawowe | SomeGuy303-2: then rmmod soundcore | 02:36 |
| escott | menturi, maybe they surpres the listing of the extended so as not to confuse people. im not familiar with that screen | 02:36 |
| escott | menturi, i guess just go ahead | 02:37 |
| K-Rich | Yo | 02:37 |
| HareyJ | I'm gonna try upgrading to the nvidia driver, but just in case, how do I downgrade back to this.. nouveau driver from the console? apt-get install ? | 02:37 |
| wawowe | SomeGuy303-2: after that you can make a script that will run that as many times as needed, then modprobe snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_intel | 02:38 |
| menturi | My friend will be available soon. I will be talking to him in a bit. Thank you much for your assistance you were a great help :) | 02:38 |

| escott | HareyJ, those are fun devices you usually end up with sdc/sdd/sde/sdf... | 02:39 |
| wawowe | SomeGuy303-2: should add something for killing any process using the sound card too | 02:39 |

| Boyo | escott: I believe I am having this problem before I would even have an opportunity to use a boot option | 03:23 |
| wawowe | Junior: hit esc a bunch just before the loading screen shows | 03:23 |
| omac | router? | 03:24 |
| bluesnow | it's ubuntu 11.10 | 03:24 |
| escott | Boyo, on the menu where you select install or check memory there are things at the bottom I think you want F5 or F6 and then pick nomodeset from the menu | 03:24 |
| bluesnow | oh | 03:24 |
| wawowe | Junior: edit the grub line and add -s to the end of it | 03:24 |
| Boyo | escott: I'm not getting that far | 03:24 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | Boyo | 03:24 |
| ubottu | Boyo: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:24 |

| dr_willis | Boyo: the boot options are befor the install menu | 03:25 |
| bluesnow | omac: it's an AT&T 2701HG-B Gateway | 03:25 |
| omac | byo b patient it takes time to adjust for video | 03:26 |
| L3top | any time Czar :) | 03:26 |
| wawowe | Junior: it shows you commands at the bottom, but it's "e", then add -s to the end of it, hit enter, then type "b" | 03:26 |
| wawowe | Junior: for the kernel line (the longer one) | 03:27 |
| Boyo | omac: So you think waiting will fix the video? I can tell that the text is some kind of menu. There is a highlighted line that moves when I use the arrow keys | 03:27 |
| omac | boyo wait 3 minutes and press enter a few times now and then | 03:27 |
| Boyo | omac: I can try that, although I won't be able to read what I am selecting | 03:28 |
| Junior | wawowe: i try to do the hitting ESC a bunch of time and nothing, i cant even get on a terminal, now please give me the commands i need to change that line on the grub you talking about, if you can and thanks wawowe | 03:28 |
| omac | bluesnow: r u thr? | 03:28 |
| bluesnow | omac: yes | 03:28 |

| blackmatrix_ny | is there a way to make seahorse request for password again when someone opens the console...i dont see any options | 03:29 |
| bohemian9485 | bluesnow: i think your router is not giving out ip addresses to lease to client computers | 03:30 |

| Junior | wawowe so i just kept hitting ESC to see if anything comes up, and nothing and i did it for a long time | 03:31 |
| wawowe | Junior: the framebuffer is what's causing it | 03:31 |
| wawowe | Junior: need to disable it | 03:32 |
| omac | now google the user manual | 03:32 |
| krababbel | bluesnow: if yes, ask them how to fix it, ubuntu's dhcp client isn't the problem i guess | 03:32 |
| Junior | wawowe ok im on it, i will boot from the ubuntu CD and we go from there, or i can acces the machine on SSH and tell me how to disablethe framebuffer | 03:32 |
| bluesnow | omac: the manual doesn't provide any other info about make and model | 03:32 |
| omac | find out what is the ip ofvthe router. it is usually on the stickeunder the router | 03:33 |
| bluesnow | I was able to use the wireless about seven hours earlier today | 03:33 |

| goddard | dr_willis: i said i like arch cause i never have to "upgrade" | 03:36 |

| goddard | dr_willis: no you are reading in a werid way | 03:36 |
| bluesnow | omac: I can't ping the router either | 03:36 |
| Junior | wawowe im on ssh now what? | 03:36 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, do you want to be entering your passwords ALL the time | 03:36 |
| omac | bluesnow are you wired or wifi? | 03:36 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, yessss :-) | 03:36 |
| bluesnow | wifi | 03:36 |
| omac | k | 03:36 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, the list of passwords on that app is just plain scary | 03:36 |
| sunbird | anyone have wallpapers working on grub2? i _had_ it working under 10.04, but can't get it in 12.04. | 03:36 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, I would look into disabling your gpg and ssh agents then. should be fairly easy to do so | 03:37 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, i see it even saves pwds from chrome emails and stuff...does the browser use that to store passwords ? | 03:37 |
| omac | ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.253 | 03:37 |
| goddard | dr_willis: is there a way to always get the bleeding edge changes so you are technically always up to date without doing massive "upgrades" | 03:38 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, its a secure keystore. its a lot better than having those applications insecurely implementing their own keystore | 03:38 |
| omac | then: dhcient | 03:38 |
| omac | dhclient | 03:38 |
| bluesnow | omac: done | 03:38 |
| dr_willis | goddard: the proper way in ubuntu to be as bleeding edge without resorting to using source, would be to find PPA's for what you want to keep on the bleeding-edge | 03:39 |
| omac | ping 192.168.1.254 | 03:39 |
| wawowe | Junior: edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 03:39 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, but if you can't protect it with another layer of password when launching seahorse gui then it becomes a big liability | 03:39 |
| bluesnow | omac: I can ping it now | 03:39 |
| omac | ping google.ca | 03:40 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, it is protected with another password. but its usually choosen to be your login password. you can change the gnome-keyring password if you want a different factor to unlock than to login | 03:40 |
| bluesnow | omac: ping google.ca returns ping: unknown host google.ca | 03:40 |
| goddard | dr_willis: im on 11.10 and i know if i switch to 12.04 its gonna break something | 03:41 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, but what's to stop a thief from viewing your list of pwds after you have logged into your pc ? | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | 12.04 is working well for me. but ialways do clean installs | 03:41 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, whats to prevent them from dumping the contents of your processes to RAM and finding the password there? whats to prevent them from installing a keylogger on your user account? whats to stop them from ... | 03:42 |
| omac | go to opendns.com and add rthe 2 dns ip addeses to /etc resolv.conf | 03:42 |
| renode | what is the command to check what wireless driver you are using? | 03:42 |
| dr_willis | escott: from looking at the post-it note on your monitor with your passwords written on it.. ;) | 03:43 |
| escott | dr_willis, everyone knows that good security requires the post it note be placed UNDER the keyboard | 03:43 |
| omac | or scroll up to the other answer someone ttold u about resolv.conf | 03:43 |
| goddard | dr_willis: a clean install every 6 months sounds like a lot of work | 03:43 |

| escott | blackmatrix_ny, you are welcome to disable gnome-keyring, but then you dont have any kind of secure keystore. I don't think the existence of the secure keystore is such a great concern. giving someone access to a session under your UID is pretty much giving them whatever they want (if they know what they are doing). maybe if they don't know what they are doing then seahorse seems too easy but is that your adversary? | 03:45 |
| goddard | dr_willis: what about opt? and stuff you compile | 03:45 |
| omac | gn | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | goddard: i rarely compile stuff to opt, havent needed to in ages | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | you can put /opt/ on its own partion if you wanted.. or back itup | 03:45 |
| escott | dj_segfault, iotop | 03:46 |
| dj_segfault | escott: Thanks. I'll try that oujt | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | i also betatest andinstall lots of stuff for testing from in here, so in 6 mo time i got tons of stuff ive installed tht ive ran once.. and dont need. | 03:46 |
| goddard | dr_willis: yeah a fresh install is good for that | 03:47 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott...but it would be so easy for say a friend who wants to quickly check the game score or some site on my pc and to take a quick peek at your list of pwds... | 03:47 |
| dr_willis | Be neat if Ubuntu coould save/sync your users home settings to your ubuntu one account. ;) | 03:47 |
| dr_willis | seen ways to set that up. but seems a bit unreliable. | 03:48 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, if those are your friends i wonder who your enemies are. | 03:48 |
| Piotr2 | hello there. good evening everyone. | 03:48 |
| goddard | dr_willis: back in time does a fine job and i have a seperate partition for home but last time all the versions of my software changed and broke stuff i was working on | 03:48 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, im actually going to try similar thing next time I sit on somebody elses ubuntu machine...that's just human nature | 03:49 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, i would think that using the fast-user-switching would be a better idea. switch them to a guest account if you dont trust them. you may also be able to configure seahorse to request the password before displaying anything (thats really just security through obscurity but...) | 03:49 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, the other problem with disabling the agents is it means typing your password in more frequently. i can imagine a modern smartphone app that records the sound of keypresses and identifies predictions on what the keypresses are based on timing between the key strokes | 03:50 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, yea, now we are talking...so how do I go about putting the pwd on that seahorse thingy everytime it launches | 03:50 |

I can't do anything else. the non-UI stuff is working fine because when I do Ctrl-Alt-F1, I can log in and install stuff on the text-based console. any ideas what's wrong with the display manager? | 03:51 |
| Piotr2 | Guys, I believe my hosts file is corrupted. | 03:51 |
| menturi | escott: I have successfully installed Ubuntu onto the hd, however http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53794511/Images/0516022343.jpg I assume for the same reason as before. After restarting the computer from this point, this came up http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53794511/Images/0516022344.jpg . I suspect it is a list of options after a 'bad shutdown' (similar to Windows), but am not certain. Nothing is legible, and there are two, as you can see. | 03:51 |
| menturi | Selecting the first item in the list I would guess is normally starting Ubuntu, which resulted in the first image again. | 03:51 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, btw, i'm one of the minorities who prefer better security than simple conveniences like pwd saver | 03:51 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, so this would be the relevant bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/189774 | 03:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 189774 in seahorse (Ubuntu) "seahorse shows passwords without verification" [Wishlist,Triaged] | 03:52 |
| Piotr2 | My brother, somehow, blocked some websites here and I thought I'd fixed it, but still I can't connect to ThePirateBay. | 03:52 |
| Piotr2 | Can you tell me how could him do that so I can fix it? | 03:52 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, another approach you might want to try (which would require some complex config) would be to put your master key on a usb stick (you could probably put the entire keyring on it) and then yank that usb stick prior to allowing anyone to use the computer (you would have to do something to tell gnome-keyring to lock the ring as well) | 03:53 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, so just to confirm, currently the seahorse app doesn't provide that feature (verification) right ? | 03:54 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, haven't wrote a bug/feature request for Ubuntu before...just making sure...and thanks for helping out | 03:54 |
| escott | menturi, the first image appears to be the same panic (b43) as before and would require the same fix (b43.blacklist=yes) the second might be modesetting related so you could try "nomodeset" | 03:54 |
| bohemian9485 | Piotr2: do you use a router? | 03:55 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, it was pushed upstream to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551036 | 03:55 |

| sary | keltus: I'd start looking at ~/.xsession-errors & /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. and you could always reconfigure xserver-org , and reconfigure the display manager . either from tty or recoery mode. | 03:57 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, this reminds me of a website i set up. http only (because we weren't going to pay for a cert) and it wasn't crucial for the purpose. so to discourage password reuse I put the password box as a normal textbox. and then people freaked out about that | 03:57 |
| Flatlined | wireless question ! What does "iwconfig rate 1M auto" do ? | 03:58 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, hehe...you seem very liberal about pwds...Im really anal about it...if you worked for me and you came up with that idea I would have fired you on the spot :-) | 03:59 |
| keltus | sary: I found this report, and I have the exact same computer (Dimension C521) and exact same Ubuntu install as that person, so I'll try and install the nvidia drivers [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1975140] | 04:00 |

| escott | blackmatrix_ny, what seems liberal about that? | 04:00 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, pwd in plain sight...so everytime a person places in pwd they have to make sure nobody is watching the screen next to them hehe...or tell them to close their eyes | 04:02 |
| escott | dr_willis, my favorite is when the bank calls me (credit card purchase flags in back office) and asks ME for the answer to my secret phone question. last time I did that I cursed them out for 20 minutes | 04:02 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, when the password is for angrybirds scores thats fine with me. point was to discourage them from doings something stupid like sending their Bank password over http. but since some idiot complained I switched it to the **** format and im sure some other idiot was sending me their bank passwords | 04:03 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, it's funny that the seahorse issue I mentioned was raised three years ago and seems nothing has been done so far | 04:03 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, its a difference of opinion. i don't think you will see a solution. if you value security you should NOT be letting people use your account | 04:04 |
| celthunder | escott: i get asked for id every time i use my card now and used to never get asked and my cards all get deactivated due to fraud at least twice a month | 04:04 |
| menturi | escott: im not sure how to start ubuntu modifying command line like i did previously off the cd. | 04:05 |
| escott | celthunder, my point was getting a call from a number I do not recognize (and cannot confirm because caller id might be forged right?) and being asked for my password. | 04:05 |
| escott | menturi, then menu will be different. should be listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 04:05 |
| celthunder | escott: lol dont answer :) theyll make you call an automated system you cant verify thats even worse than the people | 04:06 |
| Phukuup | do this arp -A see if ya got an unidentified ip showing in there | 04:06 |
| escott | blackmatrix_ny, but if you are ok with it, you could a server I'll setup which you can ssh into. I can personally vouch for the security of it ;) | 04:06 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, i use a common pwd for non sensitive accounts like my nytimes login etc...but I don't want that junk pwd to be known either...letting people use your account is different when seahorse is there and when passwd is stored in like tradional unix safe house /etc/shadow... | 04:07 |
| sary | keltus: Do you happen to hae the same exact Graphic card chip as that person's machine. | 04:07 |
| blackmatrix_ny | escott, lol...ok | 04:07 |
| celthunder | blackmatrix_ny: because /etc/shadow cant be cracked right, that was done 20 years ago. | 04:07 |
| blackmatrix_ny | celthunder, which bit encryption you talking about being cracked ? | 04:08 |
| blackmatrix_ny | celthunder, $6$CwBddTop$bnSyhnkA0C/i7.QL65Ztwpu.I.BfkJhJT3rKAp1SxllJ.9I7rCwVzOA/JehMPA/yESj1ed7.A5yHU38sdMiQP <----can you crack that, that's my root pwd :-) | 04:09 |
| blackmatrix_ny | celthunder, in /etc/shadow btw | 04:09 |
| bluesnow | hi, how could I change the subnet mask on ubuntu 11.10? | 04:10 |
| celthunder | bluesnow: ifconfig device netmask newsubnet | 04:10 |
| sary | keltus: lspci | grep VGA .. will determine your video card make and model , and lshw -C video will show more details. | 04:10 |
| bluesnow | I think the subnet mask is stopping me from communicating with my router, so I can't get wireless :( | 04:10 |
| bluesnow | celthunder: thanks | 04:10 |
| celthunder | bluesnow: or ip addr sholud be able to do it as well if yousing that | 04:11 |
| riex | Hello, I got a little problem. How do i add a new MAC-address in linux? because i have just changed netcard in my server. I hope someone can help me.. | 04:11 |
| keltus | sary: I just did apt-get install nvidia-drivers and that seemed to fix it :) | 04:11 |
| keltus | thanks | 04:11 |
| Phukuup | latest nvidiea is 173 | 04:11 |
| sary | keltus: Cool :) . | 04:12 |
| Phukuup | nvidia-173 sp | 04:12 |
| celthunder | blackmatrix_ny: if i had rainbow tables on my hdd with me i could probably | 04:12 |
| celthunder | Fleck: the mac changes automatically with the hw, unless you were spoofing it | 04:12 |
| escott | celthunder, i thought the local salt made that near impossible | 04:13 |
| celthunder | escott: it makes it harder not impossible | 04:13 |
| celthunder | escott: salting only does so much and is /etc/shadow even salted? i dont think mine is | 04:14 |
| escott | celthunder, thats going to be a huge table then. 8 ascii salt characters and a 40 character hash space. | 04:14 |
| escott | celthunder, CwBddTop is his salt | 04:14 |
| blackmatrix_ny | celthunder, yea, after like maybe 20 years :-) | 04:15 |
| escott | celthunder, if im doing the calculation right your rainbow table needs to have 2^(64+320) entries | 04:16 |
| celthunder | blackmatrix_ny: in 20 years we will have no privacy whatsoever thanks to morons, and if we do it will be using quantum physics (hopefully) | 04:16 |

| aot2002 | bluesnow, What is your /etc/resolv.conf have in it for dns? | 04:22 |
| Phukuup | bluesnow default gateway? | 04:23 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, "route" | 04:23 |
| Phukuup | ifconfig | 04:23 |
| Phukuup | or route | 04:24 |
| celthunder | bluesnow:your gateway is the ip ut of your subnet check your router or layer 3 switch if you have one. | 04:24 |
| personaprospekt | how do i get the unity bar to only show up on one monitor and get the secondary monitor to automatically go to the side of the first instead of going to clone by default | 04:26 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, also see "route -n" | 04:27 |
| bluesnow | aot2002: route just gives me the gateway I assigned manually | 04:28 |
| bluesnow | aot2002: but I can't connect to any sites. I can only ping myself and my router | 04:28 |
| === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia | ||

| dr_willis | personaprospekt: whays your video card? normally you enable xinerama for a 'wide' desktop spaning both monitors | 04:29 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, can you post what your /etc/resolv.conf file has in it for DNS servers? | 04:30 |
| personaprospekt | dr_willis: ati radeon proprietary drivers i have it in multiple monitor mode with xinerama off. it wont let me turn it on even. | 04:31 |
| dr_willis | personaprospekt: xinerama is what handles the wide desktop feaature. withotu it. i guess you are stuck with cloneing. | 04:31 |
| dr_willis | but i thought ati had a similernammed feature with more special 'features' - i rarely use ati | 04:32 |
| personaprospekt | dr_willis: even if i could turn it on it seems to reset all my graphics settings i have wide desktop working just it gives me 2 unity bars | 04:32 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, do a "cat /etc/resolv.conf" and let me know what's in it. | 04:32 |
| bluesnow | aot2002: /etc/resolve.conf has nameserver 4.2.2.5 | 04:32 |
| dr_willis | personaprospekt: this is in 12.04? i thought that was the default for a bar on each monitor. then they changed it befor final release. | 04:32 |
| bttf | im running this makefile but it cant find/read a file that works fine when read from manually | 04:32 |
| personaprospekt | dr_willis: every time i plug in the second monitor it goes to cloning once more, and yes there are bars on both monitors | 04:32 |
| bttf | the same command fails when in the makefile but succeeds whe ni do it | 04:33 |
| personaprospekt | dr_willis: and yes 12.04. | 04:33 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, change that to your router ip which should handle dns for you. | 04:33 |
| mr-rich | Ok, I'm setting up an Ubuntu web server. What is the best free (GPL'd) web control pannel software? | 04:33 |

| menturi | I am stuck. escott I was able to go to recovery mode menu item, and then get to the shell/terminal/command line/whatever it is called (hehe), however I now don't know what do at this point to get ubuntu booting (with b43.blacklist=yes) | 04:34 |
| aot2002 | celthunder, I'm aware it is. | 04:34 |
| celthunder | why use your router for dns? thats not what its for its for routing, which is what he cant do anyway | 04:34 |
| dr_willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/130327/unity-on-both-screens-with-dual-monitors | 04:34 |
| aot2002 | celthunder, the router should forward it off to the proper isp dns. I'm just seeing if there's an issue with the current dns settings. | 04:35 |
| bluesnow | aot2002: I changed the DNS server to my router's ip and it's still not working | 04:35 |
| menturi | Oh escott is no longer with us. Maybe somebody else can help me out. How do I boot ubuntu from the shell (but with "b43.blacklist=yes" added)? | 04:35 |
| dr_willis | boot ubuntu from the 'shell' ? | 04:35 |
| menturi | hehe sorry about my poor terms :P | 04:36 |
| Phukuup | sudo shutdown -r now | 04:36 |
| celthunder | menturi: shutdown -r now add that to your /etc/modprobe.d/ beforehand or add it to grub | 04:36 |
| dr_willis | at the grub menu, you can edit the boot line and append thsat b43.blabla after the line - similer to 'quiet splash b43.xxxxxx' | 04:36 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, can you pastebin your ifconfig and "cat /etc/resolv.conf" output. I assume your chatting through the same internet connection that your attempting to run this on? | 04:36 |
| bluesnow | aot2002: Can't pastebin, I'm on a separate computer | 04:36 |
| Phukuup | wow | 04:37 |
| celthunder | bluesnow: whats your subnet mask and gateway set to currently and ip | 04:37 |
| celthunder | bluesnow: and routers ip on the port you are connecting to | 04:37 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, I guess you can't type it? | 04:38 |
| bluesnow | celthunder: my IP address is 192.168.1.7, netmask is 255.255.255.0, gateway is 192.168.1.254, DNS servers is 192.168.1.254 | 04:39 |
| Phukuup | that should be working | 04:39 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, What's in your routing table? | 04:39 |
| bluesnow | aot2002: I can type it. it will take a bit. is there any specific part of the output I should type? | 04:39 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, no what you gave is fine that's what I wanted to see. | 04:39 |
| bluesnow | Phukuup: I manually assigned the IP address to myself. would that make it not work? | 04:39 |
| Phukuup | uh huh | 04:40 |
| celthunder | bluesnow: no unless you blacklisted the ip or put it in a vlan that cant route out | 04:40 |
| wylde | bluesnow: only if you have 2 devices trying to operate on the same ip | 04:40 |
| Phukuup | yup that would be my guess | 04:41 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, Just curious what is the ip address, subnet, and gateway of the computer your chatting with currently? | 04:41 |
| menturi | dr_jesus: unfortunately my grub menu is litterally unreadable due to some reason it displays incorrectly. How can I edit the boot line once I get to that menu? | 04:41 |

| Phukuup | menturi: no 3rd party scsi involed is there? | 04:43 |

| Phukuup | whoa different subnet | 04:43 |
| bluesnow | celthunder: Okay, just noticed that this doesn't match up with the router's IP. | 04:44 |
| menturi | this is a fresh install. i was unable to even install ubuntu without adding the b43.blacklist=yes part. | 04:44 |
| celthunder | Phukuup: thats ok, i have different subnets... | 04:44 |
| celthunder | bluesnow: you can have multiple router ips...in fact you SHOULD have at least 2 | 04:44 |
| Phukuup | the router is doing dhcp | 04:44 |
| aot2002 | bluesnow, bingo | 04:44 |
| celthunder | menturi: just add the blacklist to /etc/modprobe.d/ somewhere | 04:45 |
| bluesnow | Phukuup: I tried using DHCP auto for everything earlier, but it wasn't working | 04:45 |
| celthunder | bluesnow: interesting so it hands out invalid ips or ? | 04:45 |
| bluesnow | my ubuntu desktop had wireless about 7 hours earlier today, and then after a reboot it stopped working | 04:45 |

| Phukuup | menturi: something is bad wrong with your boot image | 04:46 |
| bluesnow | celthunder: I'm not sure. I had everything on DHCP auto earlier and it worked. And then after a reboot it stopped working. I've rebooted multiple times since, and it hasn't worked again. | 04:46 |
| celthunder | menturi: vim or emacs preferred joe nano or ed are also usually around | 04:46 |
| menturi | Phukuup: the drivers for the wireless card afaik is the cause... or something relating to the wireless... I don't fully understand what the issue is. | 04:46 |
| Phukuup | bluesnow because you set it to static maunally | 04:46 |
| bluesnow | Phukuup: I've set it back to DHCP a few times and rebooted, and it hasn't worked. | 04:47 |
| Phukuup | mm my upgrade seems to have stopped | 04:47 |

| mitchell | anyone recommend a specific ircd SSL enabled server for me to try on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ? | 04:55 |
| neo31 | hello folks, please I need some help to enable iptables service on ubuntu 12.04, I have installed the package iptables but I don't have anyservice to make it run | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | iptables service? thought that was part of the default firewalling features | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | !info iptables | 04:56 |
| ubottu | iptables (source: iptables): administration tools for packet filtering and NAT. In component main, is standard. Version 1.4.12-1ubuntu4 (precise), package size 352 kB, installed size 1237 kB | 04:56 |
| neo31 | I had ufw and I have removed it to install iptables | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | last i looked ufw used the iptables tools.... but i dont do firewalling much | 04:57 |
| celthunder | mitchell: anything but unreal should be fine | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | iptables 'is standard' - that means its installed by default? | 04:57 |
| aot2002 | dr_willis, yup | 04:57 |
| neo31 | I just need to have something like /etc/init.d/iptables | 04:57 |
| aot2002 | ufw just adds rules in iptables | 04:58 |
| neo31 | humm | 04:58 |
| aot2002 | neo31, Are you just trying to make sure it's running? | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | and iptables runs automatically if any rules exist... i thought | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | my router does all my firewalling these days. ;) im lazy | 04:58 |
| aot2002 | dr_willis, you can take the firewall down | 04:58 |
| neo31 | yes aot2002 | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | sudo iptables --list i recall shows any current firewall rules.. | 04:59 |
| mitchell | I'm finding SSL is not easy to include nor setup for a Ubuntu based IRCD regardless of their ad's and descriptions celthunder | 04:59 |
| neo31 | fine | 04:59 |
| celthunder | dr_willis: iptables runs automatically it doesnt automatcially load any rules and for default there really isnt any answer to that you decide when you compile your kernel and add your packages | 05:00 |
| neo31 | it's running already | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | 'if iptables is running with no rules... is it really running..' how 'zen' ;) | 05:00 |
| celthunder | mitchell: ratbox ircu and ng probably support ssl | 05:01 |
| Phukuup | holy cr** it was stuck waiting for me to restart stuff | 05:01 |
| celthunder | dr_willis: it makes sense...do you really want your firewall to load rules on reboot? once you define your rules its easy enough to make it use them on boot but nobody really wants that by default | 05:02 |
| mitchell | I haven't tried ratbox yet celthunder, setup celsomething but can't get the SSL to enable on it either :( | 05:02 |
| celthunder | mitchell: ok where did you get your ssl cert from and whats the issue with it | 05:02 |
| celthunder | rather than saying it doesnt work what about it doesnt work | 05:03 |
| mitchell | celthunder, sadly hybrid-ircd got into a 'discussion' over licensing with openssl and stopped compiling the packages with it enabled | 05:03 |
| mitchell | celthunder it's a lot more than just compiling the cert's and keys but yes I've done those several times in different directorys celthunder | 05:03 |
| Phukuup | umm for future reference the upgrade for 12.04 does indeed stop at unpacking until you retart some services had I not opened the terminal to look I would not have seen that | 05:03 |
| aot2002 | Phukuup, nice | 05:04 |
| Phukuup | I would still be waiting | 05:04 |
| mitchell | the specific issue celthunder is no SSL working with any ircd server I have setup, regardless of my creating and setting up the certs, pub.key files | 05:04 |
| celthunder | mitchell: what happens when you try whats the error | 05:05 |
| celthunder | mitchell: make it listen with ssl and give the error | 05:05 |
| mitchell | sorry celthunder, I can't find the exact SSL error as I'm currently on another box | 05:07 |
| Phukuup | I hope all these errors I am seeing in terminal are fixed before restart or my goose is gonna be cooked | 05:09 |
| celthunder | Phukuup: lol errors for what? make/configure? | 05:11 |
| celthunder | Phukuup: i would be more worried at not seeing make/configure error. | 05:12 |
| celthunder | as long as its not fatal it probably isnt too important | 05:12 |
| aot2002 | Phukuup, just make sure it's 180+ degrees before you eat it. | 05:13 |

| Syria_ | >>>> | 05:57 |
| Syria_ | hi | 05:58 |
| wilee-nilee | alusion, try winff | 05:58 |
| L3top | mplayer will play .mkv | 05:59 |
| L3top | You probably will need some codecs | 05:59 |
| Syria_ | I connect to VPS via termial using this command ssh -D "port" @address, please help me to export this connection via ad-hoc wifi. | 05:59 |
| L3top | and vlc will play almost anything... there are some annoying changes in 2.X | 06:00 |
| wilee-nilee | vlc will probably play a mkv which is just a container anyway | 06:00 |

| dr_willis | i doubt if you will see much differance adv__ unless yoiu have very low end hardware | 06:05 |
| wolf35 | hi | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | in which case. yoiiu may as well use lubuntu for the lightest desktop | 06:05 |
| adv__ | I wish to run it from usb on Vbox | 06:05 |
| adv__ | but certain programs dont run in light desktop | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | from usb on vbox? You mean have vbox access a actual usb device? why not use a virtual hd: | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | adv__: ive not noticed anything not working in lubuntu. | 06:06 |
| adv__ | yep have usb3 11.10 was blazing 12.04 is slow... | 06:06 |
| adv__ | will give lubuntu a try. | 06:07 |
| adv__ | I wanted to run jfire server was not able to... | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | if you want the best vbox speeds. use a virtual hd image file. not a real device. | 06:07 |
| adv__ | hmm | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | no idea what 'jfire' is. | 06:07 |
| adv__ | ok | 06:07 |
| wylde | !mini | adv__: Install minimal and install only what you need? | 06:07 |
| ubottu | adv__: Install minimal and install only what you need?: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | !info jfire | 06:08 |
| ubottu | Package jfire does not exist in precise | 06:08 |
| adv__ | ok thanks dr_willis , ubottu | 06:08 |
| adv__ | never mind abt jfire.. | 06:08 |
| adv__ | wow havent seen minimal cd.... only 27MB | 06:09 |
| adv__ | ought to try that | 06:09 |
| dr_willis | heh a full tinycorelinux cd = 10mb. ;) | 06:09 |
| adv__ | does to give gui? | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | MultiCoreLinux = 35mb. | 06:10 |
| adv__ | dont want to leave ubuntu... | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | both come with X and a minimal desktop | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | Ubuntu Minimal cd = just the basics - you then install what you want | 06:10 |
| adv__ | have been with ubuntu since 6. something | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | basics as in - you get a shell... | 06:10 |
| adv__ | ok | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | tinycore/multicore - is too handy to overlook ;) | 06:11 |
| adv__ | will try it too | 06:11 |

| dr_willis | i belive winff needed me to tweak the terminal setting it used. for some reason it needed to be set to use 'xterm -e' instead of the x-terminam-application | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | i have been using winff for the last 2 weeks on and off in 12.04 - so it does work | 06:13 |

| alusion | I try not to get the two involved myself as I intended to use ubuntu for a more stable machine that I feel I have more control / ownership / manipulability and flexibility towards but I work mainly in the arts .. now I find myself obsessing over the OS more than I originally intended | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | i am seeing linux used in some of the CNC machines i work on. :) embeded in the controllers | 06:17 |

| lmaowaffle | hi guys. Are any of you familiar with setxkbmap - more specifically, remapping capslock as control key? my .xinitrc directives had previously worked (months ago) and I'm assuming that there has since been a change in xorg. My .xinitrc had setxkbmap -layout us -model evdev -rules xorg -option ctrl:nocaps | 06:21 |
| alusion | yup I got the VLC, ima just load up the files on a external and try playing from there then | 06:21 |
| lmaowaffle | the command works manually after X starts at a terminal | 06:22 |
| lmaowaffle | the rest of .xinitrc loads fine at X startup | 06:22 |
| dr_willis | i thought the .xinitrc only gotr read if you used the 'custom' X session from lightdm | 06:22 |
| lmaowaffle | dr_willis: I have symlinks setup | 06:23 |
| dr_willis | setup for what. You could use the .config/autostart (or was it autorun) directory | 06:23 |
| lmaowaffle | i forget the symlink.. .xsession perhaps? | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | i thought the gnome keyboard config tool had settings for those also. could be its overrideing them | 06:24 |
| lmaowaffle | something I gleaned from an ubuntu tut | 06:24 |
| lmaowaffle | i'll investigate that | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | I thought that.. .xsession/.xinitrc ONLY got ran when you used the custome X session from lightdm. they dont get ran when you use 'ubuntu' or 'gnome' or other sessions, | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | ie: they dont get ran 'in in addation to' the normal desktop | 06:25 |
| lmaowaffle | i neglected to mention that I'm using slim (again, from tut) | 06:28 |
| lmaowaffle | that might make it easier for you to digest ;) | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | if you are going the .xinitrc route.. then you may want to controll everything from .xinitrc have it do your commands, then start the window manavger/desktop you want | 06:29 |
| dr_willis | i imagine slim works the same way... if you select the ubuntu session, it runs the stuff defined in the ubuntu.desktop session file. it doent run that AND stuff from .xinitrc | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | the .config/autostart directory has stuff that can get ran automatically for ubuntu, kubuntu, and gnome-shell. i think lubuntu and xubuntu also make use of the .config/autostart dir | 06:31 |
| adv__ | recently observed mintos on distowatch, how is it? | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | Mint is not Ubuntu. :) I dont see much need for me to use mint. | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | never really noticed much it did - thts normal ubuntu dosent do. perhasp a few tweaks or other defaults. | 06:34 |
| issri | is there any place where i can find initrd.gz and vmlinuz images of both amd64 and i386 versions separately? | 06:35 |
| issri | i mean without getting the whole iso image | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | the mini iso is like a few dozen mb. may hav them | 06:36 |
| HeartUbuntu | just installed 12.04, the information window during the install, the gorgeous purple one with the twitter feeds, is there an application with that same theme for live twitter feeds? looked awesome! | 06:38 |
| issri | dr_willis: thanks. could you please provide me with a link address too? | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | i think that was just a special feature they did for the installer. | 06:41 |
| HeartUbuntu | is there an app in the base system to test my 3d? | 06:41 |
| HeartUbuntu | aww, ty willis | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | issri: samew place the normal iso files would be at. Ive neverreally used the mini iso | 06:41 |

| dr_willis | ive never gotten into twitter.. ;) just more mindless spammage from what i see on the twitter feedd on my phone | 06:42 |
| HeartUbuntu | the latest installer is so freaking sleak, and letting you do the customizations during install, beats playing freecell during install, lol | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | i get enough of that on IRC. ;P | 06:42 |
| HeartUbuntu | lol, but i'd follow random people just to have that theme on my second monitor, lol | 06:43 |
| HeartUbuntu | i love the color scheme for 12.04 | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | i always change to blue/grayish colors... | 06:43 |

| dr_willis | theres some unofficial hacks to move the launcher to the bottom. but thats not supported here.. and can cause issues. | 06:52 |
| dr_willis | HeartUbuntu: it make an ok 'ssh' terminal box. ;) | 06:52 |

| Silversong | Hey guys, I got a quick question (new Ubuntu user here). I am trying to download Java from java.com to run Java Applets | 06:52 |
| Silversong | I downloaded the .rpm file and extracted everything, I see the Java folder | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | Left launcher panel is set to not auto hide by default any more. | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | !java | Silversong | 06:53 |
| ubottu | Silversong: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 06:53 |
| Silversong | But the applets still don't load like I don't even have Java | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | dont use the rpm Silversong thats not for ubuntu | 06:53 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest86563 | ||
| Silversong | Oh... | 06:53 |
| Silversong | All right. Thanks dr_willis. I shall delete that | 06:53 |
| HeartUbuntu | i always try to google the proper apt-get commands for installing stuff rather than downloading packages, less of a headache | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | rpm = mandrake/redhat | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | deb = ubuntu, debian | 06:54 |
| dr_willis | the open soruced javais in the repos.. oraccles java needs extra work | 06:54 |
| HeartUbuntu | or... run synaptic package manager, search for something like "java" and read the descriptions of the packages | 06:54 |
| dr_willis | thats the open sourced java. in synaptic. which may not run all the java apps ... it depends on what you are runnijg | 06:55 |

| Marzata | Silversong: ah, 30 K USD / year? for a state uni? | 07:06 |

| krababbel | backyards01: what comes out of the modem? | 07:32 |
| backyards01 | An Rj-45 | 07:32 |
| krababbel | backyards01: oh, ethernet? get an expansion card, from ebay for example. however those routers don't do pppoa or pppoe if you need it. | 07:33 |

| VP | Besides being root by sudo -i, I can't change the permissions of an NTFS partition. Pl guide:) | 07:34 |
| Anarhist | hi, i've just tried installing 12.04, i knew it would be bad, but not this bad. the panel on the left side refuses to hide and stays open (it's a serious issue on netbook), upper left corner of the screen closes the program rather than starts the menu choser, and of course when i search for an application in unity it finds nothing | 07:35 |
| krababbel | backyards01: don't expect speed I heard too, throughput is said to be low. Nicely stable for sure. | 07:35 |
| llutz_ | VP ntfs is a non-unix filesyste, it cannot handle unix permissions. use mount options to adjust permissions (man mount) | 07:35 |
| backyards01 | thanks krabbel. i had one fall into my lap and wanted to play around with it. | 07:36 |
| rtabhu | hello ubuntu | 07:36 |
| LarsN | what's the "proper" method of managing which services start on boot these days? | 07:36 |
| VP | llutz_:Ok & thanks | 07:36 |
| VP | llutz_: will try | 07:36 |
| LarsN | since both "service" and "init" both appear to be valid solutions. | 07:36 |
| backyards01 | looks like i need to do a little more research and a little money for a card or something | 07:36 |
| dr_willis | Anarhist: the left side panel hideing is set to not hide by default. its setable. and i have no issues with it showing on my netbook, as for the rest. not sure. i dont have the same issues here. | 07:37 |
| Anarhist | dr_willis, where's the setting? | 07:37 |
| nibalizer | Anarhist: in appearcance | 07:37 |
| krababbel | backyards01: if you have a router for the modem and if you can put that into bridge mode, knock yourself off. :) The card yes, plus a rollover cable for the serial port. | 07:37 |
| dr_willis | Anarhist: no idea. i always set mine to always show. I do use 'myunity' to shrink the icon size down to 32. | 07:38 |
| dr_willis | or was that in appearances also.. | 07:38 |
| dr_willis | be nice if the 'hud' could show speific settings/tabs also.. will have to try tht later to see if it does | 07:38 |
| Anarhist | ok, thanks, i'll give that a try, after i figure out why i can't start find any application | 07:39 |
| backyards01 | thanks again krababbel | 07:41 |

| mitchell | why do you have flash enabled Hounddog, a glutten for punishment? | 07:59 |
| Hounddog | to watch some videos at time :p | 07:59 |
| mitchell | perhaps use a D.E. which supports that, Kalidarn ? | 07:59 |
| Kalidarn | I'm aware that it has the 1/2 snap but that's not so useful on large screens | 07:59 |

| Kalidarn | mitchell: yeah i was wondering if that feature had been added to unity/metacity/gnome what have you | 08:00 |
| Kalidarn | i know that it was possible in KDE | 08:00 |
| Hounddog | webgl is running better then this darn flash | 08:00 |

| Hounddog | unity... i somehow did not like it whatsoever... | 08:03 |
| mitchell | I would think so with Gnome 3.x Kalidarn however this box's graphic chips don't like Gnome 3.x so I can't help ya on that | 08:03 |
| L3top | cristen: you shouldnt need to download the drivers from nvidia. The nvidia-current driver is 195.40 which supports your card | 08:03 |

| dr_Willis | be curious if a new user has the same icon... | 08:26 |
| mitchell | thanks LarsN I'll take a look see | 08:27 |
| LarsN | mitchell: sorry, took a bit to figure the right search term. Ciphers not mechanisms :) | 08:27 |

| codekK | Hm now yes, after fighting for nvidia drivers issues... | 08:27 |
| LarsN | mitchell: some of those are non-terrible. | 08:27 |
| mitchell | no problem, ty for searching that for me, I've checked the ciphers I have already and they are missing | 08:27 |
| dr_Willis | ryannathans send to what exactly? another linux box? | 08:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: the icon is *supposed* to be a gear, because it also contains all the system settings/etc stuff in it | 08:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | dr_Willis: I use a combination of NFS (for the linux boxes) and mediatomb (for the PS3) but you could accomplish the linux part a little easier using sshfs | 08:29 |
| LarsN | mitchell: I wouldn't expect it to be readily easy to break a DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA cipher | 08:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | dr_Willis: there is also xbmc which can stream just about anything (my server is headless, so setting up xbmc would be a PITA for me) | 08:30 |
| dr_Willis | theres linux players for dlna (meditomb) if you wanted. | 08:30 |

| LarsN | mitchell: nginx makes it trivial to make that the only available cipherset. | 08:30 |
| LarsN | on the server side. | 08:31 |
| ryannathans | DarwinSurvivor: does it make it more interesting if I say the client is windows? | 08:31 |

| HeartUbuntu | take it easy everyone, later | 08:31 |

| dr_Willis | ryannathans: what sort of client are you refering to? theres a dozen ways to stream audio to a windows bvox | 08:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: yes, that rules out NFS and SSHFS and leaves you with dlna (mediatomb/ushare) or samba | 08:31 |
| edgars | yo man! | 08:31 |
| hironakamura | hey anyone here messed around with ircd-hybrid? | 08:32 |

| mitchell | I'm trying to recompile ircd-hybrid to allow SSL, hironakamura | 08:32 |
| LarsN | mitchell: blowfish, twofish, serpent and whilrpool aren't regularly used outside of ssh. | 08:32 |

| hironakamura | ill double check tho | 08:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: OH, *that* kind of audio streaming! | 08:33 |
| dr_Willis | ryannathans: then you may want to look into that pulseaudio port for windows. it lets you reroute sound from one pc to a differnt one. | 08:33 |
| sh0ck_wave | hi people | 08:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: *IF* you get it to work, I'm 99% sure you will never get tracking correctly. streaming audio in real time between ANY computers and getting it to track to a separate video feed is nearly impossible | 08:34 |

| LarsN | hironakamura: in that case ssh to the host again. | 08:36 |
| mitchell | do you have XChat there hironakamura ? | 08:36 |
| LarsN | and put on your "todo" list "READ ABOUT SCREEN" :) | 08:36 |
| hironakamura | created a new session hold on | 08:36 |

| LarsN | let's make it a little more pointed... | 08:38 |
| LarsN | use: netstat -natu |grep 6667 | 08:38 |
| === fong is now known as Guest9668 | ||
| samba35 | can i boot ubuntu with pxe /boot rom ,diskless ubuntu ? | 08:38 |
| LarsN | and paste it to a pastebin like "http://pastie.org" | 08:38 |
| mitchell | ryannathans you'd need a media server wouldn't you, running under Ubuntu? | 08:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !pastebinit | hironakamura | 08:38 |
| ubottu | hironakamura: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:38 |
| edgars | where do i need to copy an application to be able it to find/run through winkey quick search? (unity desktop) | 08:39 |
| mitchell | have you looked at firefly perhaps ryannathans ? | 08:39 |
| LarsN | ryannathans: see icecast/darkice/ices | 08:39 |
| hironakamura | tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6667 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 08:39 |
| hironakamura | tcp 0 0 198.101.193.204:44130 213.232.93.3:6667 ESTABLISHED | 08:39 |
| ryannathans | I want to stream whatever audio played from the ubuntu machine to come out of windows speakers | 08:39 |
| anandjeyahar | can anyone guide me through configuring apache to use AD server. I have used an example from online blogs, but keep getting Invalid Credentials error. | 08:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LarsN: he is trying to stream the audio portion of youtube videos | 08:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: do you want ALL audio to be streamed, or just some applications? | 08:39 |
| LarsN | DarwinSurvivor: those apps will stream whatever normally leaves the speakers on the *nix host over the network. | 08:40 |
| ryannathans | all | 08:40 |
| hironakamura | not sure if that was helpful | 08:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LarsN: Oh, didn't know that. I've only used them with mpd :P | 08:40 |
| hironakamura | im trying to connect externally to the server | 08:40 |
| ryannathans | LarsN: what's the latency like? | 08:40 |
| llutz_ | hironakamura: its bound to localhost only, change config | 08:40 |
| LarsN | hironakamura: it looks like it's listening on 213.232.93.3:6667 as well as localhost:6667 | 08:40 |
| ryannathans | I have a 10 gigabit/s connection between machines | 08:40 |
| LarsN | is that your public address? | 08:40 |
| codekK | nah i make new user and same, the power button is like a mechanism | 08:40 |
| codekK | :S | 08:40 |
| hironakamura | so edit the ircd-hybrid conf file? | 08:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: what is the physical distance between them? | 08:41 |
| ryannathans | 50cm | 08:41 |
| llutz_ | LarsN: "..198.101.193.204:44130 213.232.93.3:6667 ESTABLISHED" is an OUTBOUND conenction (his freenode coneection i guess) | 08:41 |
| anandjeyahar | here's the config file http://dpaste.com/749257/ | 08:41 |
| llutz_ | hironakamura: yes | 08:41 |
| LarsN | llutz_: yeah, your right. | 08:41 |
| mitchell | that's via his router isn't it llutz_ ? | 08:41 |
| hironakamura | llutz_ ok | 08:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: I think the easiest method would be to go to the dollar store and by a $8 male-male audio cable and hook the linux machine's line out to the windows machine's line-in :D | 08:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: that will also eliminate lagg due to buffering! | 08:42 |
| ryannathans | DarwinSurvivor: you can do that? | 08:42 |
| llutz_ | mitchell: why? | 08:42 |
| LarsN | mitchell: so correcting myself I think your ircd is only listening on localhost from what I saw. | 08:42 |
| ryannathans | DarwinSurvivor: hmm, do like. | 08:42 |
| ryannathans | brb, finding one | 08:42 |
| LarsN | ryannathans: I don't remember it being fantastic latency wise. | 08:42 |
| codekK | Why my power button is like a mechanism??????? | 08:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: yes. alteratively, you could buy a mixer, but that will probably cost more | 08:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: make sure you use the line-in and not the microphone port! | 08:42 |
| LarsN | ryannathans: did someone just suggest taking the line out on ubuntu, and running a male to male stereo 1/8" to the line in on windows? | 08:42 |
| hironakamura | whcih file should i be editing | 08:42 |
| LarsN | because ^^ would be my solution | 08:42 |
| hironakamura | sudo nano /etc/ ???? | 08:43 |
| ryannathans | LarsN: now it has been said | 08:43 |
| * ryannathans pulls out the cable | 08:43 | |
| DarwinSurvivor | LarsN: o/ | 08:43 |
| LarsN | :) | 08:43 |
| LarsN | DarwinSurvivor: I was asking if someone beat me to it. | 08:43 |
| llutz_ | hironakamura: _you_ are running a service, so _you_ have to know where the configs are | 08:43 |
| edgars | Heeeeeelpppppp!!!! :) | 08:43 |
| LarsN | DarwinSurvivor: it appears you got it, while I was looking at irdc :) | 08:43 |
| edgars | where do i need to copy an application to be able it to find/run through winkey quick search? (unity desktop) | 08:43 |
| hironakamura | llutz ok thanks | 08:44 |
| Heartbeats | Hi | 08:44 |
| Heartbeats | are there actually people here who work on the dev of ubuntu? | 08:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Heartbeats: there may be a few that work on some *parts* of ubuntu. Ubuntu is just a collection of other projects and some creative "glue" to hold it together | 08:45 |
| LarsN | Heartbeats: I'm sure the answer is yes. IIRC I contributed a one line patch about 8 years ago, that counts technically speaking | 08:45 |
| ryannathans | brb, need to relog | 08:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: ok | 08:45 |
| Heartbeats | i see | 08:45 |
| Heartbeats | okay | 08:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Heartbeats: do you have a specific question? | 08:46 |
| Heartbeats | So, i converted over to ubuntu a few months ago | 08:46 |
| Heartbeats | yea | 08:46 |
| Heartbeats | my camera is not supported | 08:46 |
| Heartbeats | im working on an hp laptop | 08:46 |
| yossi1 | hello, I'm trying to get ubuntu server to work with a network printer i have. the printer itself has wifi, its not connected to any computer directly. i got this printer to work with ubuntu desktop using some .deb files i found, and then adding the printer through the GUI. i got those .debs installed on the server too now, but im stuck when it comes to adding the printer without the benefit of a GUI | 08:46 |
| Heartbeats | there are no linux drivers for it on the hp websit | 08:46 |
| Heartbeats | e | 08:46 |
| Heartbeats | so i'm wondering who to speak to | 08:47 |
| Heartbeats | and what buttons to push | 08:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Heartbeats: can you use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste the outputs of "lspci" and "lsusb"? | 08:47 |
| yossi1 | i can compare settings files between the 2 computers if i just knew what files those were | 08:47 |
| L3top | !enter | Heartbeats | 08:47 |
| ubottu | Heartbeats: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: have you tried the cups web interface? *absolutely* amazingly useful for headless servers! | 08:48 |
| LarsN | Heartbeats: what's lsusb tell you the device is? | 08:48 |
| LarsN | Heartbeats: mine for instance is " Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd " which I admit to have never bothered messing with because I find webcams silly :) | 08:48 |
| yossi1 | DarwinSurvivor, how can i do that if the machine is headless? | 08:48 |
| LarsN | but I understand folks who want them to work. | 08:48 |
| Heartbeats | right okay srry bought that DarwinSurvivor, and, LarsN, lemme check | 08:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: you use *another* computer to connect to the server's web interface. | 08:49 |
| codekK | Why my power button is like a mechanism??????? i try with other users and same problem :s | 08:49 |
| yossi1 | so <ipofserver>:631 ? | 08:50 |
| yossi1 | that does not work | 08:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: example = if server = 192.168.1.10 , then use your desktop to connect to "http://192.168.1.10:631" | 08:50 |
| llutz_ | yossi1: cups listens to localhost only by default, so either change the config to let it listen on external ifaces too or just use a ssh-tunnel to connect | 08:50 |
| sk1special | r kid with this problem yesterday. my cube is flat..like..its a rotating page. how do i make it a actual cube | 08:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: you may need to enable it (or it may be bound to localhost only) | 08:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: stupid question, but why do you need to use a server to print to a network printer...? | 08:51 |
| zip | twice a year an ubuntu update means tice a year a destroyed printer config for me :l | 08:51 |
| yossi1 | llutz, is that config part of cups or some firewall? | 08:51 |
| llutz_ | yossi1: ssh -L 8631:localhost:631 user@yourhostwithcups | 08:51 |
| llutz_ | yossi1: cups config | 08:51 |
| LarsN | zip: in part, blame apple. That always makes me feel better. | 08:51 |
| yossi1 | DarwinSurvivor, because i want the server to run a cronjob that grabs print jobs that get emailed to it | 08:51 |
| llutz_ | yossi1: after establishing tunnel, "browse localhost:8631" | 08:52 |
| ryannathans | WOO | 08:52 |
| ryannathans | \o/ | 08:52 |
| ryannathans | great success | 08:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: if you just want to be able to print remotely using your server as a gateway, use port forwarding "ssh -Lprinter_port:printer_ip:printer_port username@server_ip" and then print to localhost! | 08:52 |
| LarsN | ryannathans: DarwinSurvivor gets the credit. he came up with the idea first :) | 08:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: oh, ok | 08:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: what type of printer is it? | 08:53 |
| LarsN | ryannathans: is the problem you just solved "I have two computers, but only one set of speakers?" | 08:53 |
| yossi1 | canon mx800 | 08:53 |
| ryannathans | No | 08:53 |
| ryannathans | LarsN: well, almots | 08:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ryannathans: nothing like solving a software problem with hardware :D | 08:53 |
| ryannathans | LarsN: two computers, linux one runs my raid array via infiniband directly into the windows machine. I got multidesktopping workin with synergy | 08:54 |
| LarsN | DarwinSurvivor: almost as good as solving a hardware problem with software. | 08:54 |
| ryannathans | now I have audio \o/ | 08:54 |
| yossi1 | oh good. i got to the CUPS web panel thing. | 08:54 |
| ryannathans | only one problem left | 08:54 |
| ryannathans | stupid broken packages I can't fix when installing any media player | 08:55 |
| LarsN | ryannathans: one of the computers runs windows? | 08:55 |
| ryannathans | yeah | 08:55 |
| LarsN | **snicker | 08:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: can you send a link to the product page? I can't even find it on canon's website! | 08:55 |
| ryannathans | LarsN: I'm force to. Astrophotography processing software only works on windows | 08:55 |
| LarsN | I have a work issued windows 7 machine. which wouldn't be terrible if I didn't work for a large OpenStack based public cloud company | 08:56 |
| yossi1 | DarwinSurvivor, http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx882?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware | 08:57 |
| LarsN | "I use windows, to manage a metric $#$@ load of ubuntu nodes" | 08:57 |
| LarsN | :) | 08:57 |
| yossi1 | something like that | 08:57 |
| ryannathans | hah | 08:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: just for fun, can you run "nmap ip_of_printer"? | 08:58 |
| sk1special | anyone know how to make my compiz cube a cube instead of a flat page? | 08:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: my HP printer at home (ethernet) accepts document printing via ftp, that may be easier if your printer supports it | 08:58 |
| LarsN | me doesn't have anything with enough graphics card to run compiz | 08:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sk1special: have you played around in ccsm? | 08:58 |
| yossi1 | let me just install nmap first | 08:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: ok | 08:59 |
| LarsN | I'm so glad my only printer is a well supporter laserjet 4000n. | 08:59 |
| LarsN | it's one of the few things I can happily say "just works" around here :) | 08:59 |
| LarsN | s/supporter/supported. | 08:59 |
| sk1special | no im super new to ubuntu. ive just installed then enabled the cube and the rotate / disabled the wall | 08:59 |
| shaibn | Hello :) I've got a very old server that I'm trying to virtualize. I did an rsync to a new hdd in vmware and now I'm just left with grub installation. It has grub-legacy and not grub2 and when I run the update-grub from the chrooted environment, it keeps updating the menu.lst with md0 and the wrong root device .. the old server indeed have an mdadm software raid, but I don't need it anymore on the new machine and so I don't know how it even recognizes the s | 08:59 |
| shaibn | oftware raid if it doesn't exist and I'm on a liveCD running a chrooted environment. Help :) ? | 08:59 |
| hayden_ru | sk1special, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 08:59 |
| sk1special | and it works as far as..a thing that rotates. but it wont show as a cube just like..a flat page | 09:00 |
| hayden_ru | sk1special, you need to rebind a button for it i think | 09:00 |
| hayden_ru | sk1special, look for bindings in cube settings | 09:00 |
| Fudge | anyone know how to enable accessibility in xubuntu-dev 4.10 | 09:01 |
| nic | does anyone know how to get the number pad to work? i have a thinkpad edge, and didn't see any options for my keyboard when i installed | 09:01 |
| sk1special | how do i get to cube settings? and it does * rotate * via cntrl/alt/arrow keys. its just flat instead of cubey | 09:01 |
| yossi1 | DarwinSurvivor, http://pastebin.com/UtpH2J6u | 09:02 |
| LarsN | shaibn: you're basically trying to start from scratch now? | 09:02 |
| hayden_ru | sk1special, click on it in ccsm it will open settings | 09:02 |
| shaibn | LarsN, sort of ... | 09:02 |
| shaibn | LarsN, I just want grub to work .. and boot my vm | 09:02 |
| Heartbeats | LarsN: it's Feiya Technology Corp | 09:03 |
| Heartbeats | I am on their website right now | 09:03 |
| shaibn | LarsN, I did this yesterday, and then noticed I didn't copy everything ... but yesterday I managed to do it just find ... I just can't seem to get it working again | 09:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: darn, well it was worth a shot. best go with the cups web-interface then | 09:03 |
| LarsN | Heartbeats: google search "Feiya Technology corp" "ubuntu" | 09:03 |
| LarsN | Heartbeats: is usually my starting point for things like this at least | 09:04 |
| codekK | Why my power button is like a mechanism??????? i try with other users and same problem :s | 09:04 |
| Heartbeats | LarsN: okay | 09:04 |
| yossi1 | yeah. i seem to be getting somewhere with the web interface | 09:04 |
| LarsN | shaibn: have you looked at "man grub-install" | 09:04 |
| shaibn | LarsN, lets start by understanding why update-grub updated the menu.list with md0 and not sda2 | 09:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: please elaborate, what do you mean by "mechanism"?!? | 09:04 |
| shaibn | LarsN, I've looked everywhere .. yes .. still haven't found my solution ... | 09:05 |
| kapz | When I start Transmission either through gnome menu or terminal it does not show it's window...ubuntu 12.04 | 09:05 |
| sk1special | the only key options is for unfolding the cube. | 09:05 |
| llutz_ | shaibn: shouldn't "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-legacy" work? | 09:05 |
| LarsN | shaibn: as far as I can tell, grub-update is a grub (not grub2) utility | 09:05 |
| * ekv Hi all | 09:05 | |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: is the web interface working for you? i use it fairly regularly so I can help you out with it if you need | 09:06 |
| LarsN | shaibn: which means it's possible it picked up on an old mbr, rather than a newer gpt entry? (just a theory atm) | 09:06 |
| yossi1 | oh, wait, no. the web interface i got to was actually to the local CUPS not the one on the server :( | 09:06 |
| shaibn | LarsN, The old server is so old, that apt-get isn't working correctly on it. I don't want to touch it. Furthermore, yes, the old server had grub-legacy, not grub2. I'd like to keep it that way. | 09:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: oh, lol | 09:06 |
| yossi1 | the tunnel didnt work | 09:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: ok, first of all, is cups running*/ | 09:06 |
| sk1special | ive got wobbly windows working..and it can go inside the cube..and i can change the coloring..i can rotate it and flip it around..but *it* is flat not a box | 09:06 |
| yossi1 | how do i double check? | 09:07 |
| codekK | DarwinSurvivor, a gear! | 09:07 |
| shaibn | LarsN, how do you mean "picked up on the old mbr"? This is a VM .. it can't see the old HDD which is connected to another machine on the network | 09:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: what did you run to make your tunnel? | 09:07 |
| codekK | DarwinSurvivor, a gear! Like when you have pending restart after update | 09:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: do you mean the button in the top-right corner? it's *supposed* to look like that! | 09:07 |
| codekK | Yes | 09:08 |
| nic | or, how do i turn off the automatic full screen when a window touches the top bar? | 09:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: please post a screenshot if you think it's the wrong icon | 09:08 |
| LarsN | shaibn: since I clearly didn't follow the problem correctly :) I'll ask a couple quick questions to hopefully get caught back up. | 09:08 |
| codekK | ok second | 09:08 |
| yossi1 | ssh -L 8631:localhost:631 yossi@ubuntu2 | 09:08 |
| yossi1 | and i already see what i did wrong :P | 09:08 |
| yossi1 | i went to :631 instead of :8631 | 09:08 |
| LarsN | shaibn: so the bare metal server is running ubuntu, with vmware server? | 09:08 |
| shaibn | LarsN, no | 09:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: ok, and you connected to localhost:8631 not localhost:631 right? | 09:09 |
| shaibn | LarsN, I have a very old bare metal server running an old ubuntu dist ... which is working fine. | 09:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: lol | 09:09 |
| yossi1 | yeah, i did that now | 09:09 |
| === LKJ_ is now known as Guest89319 | ||
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: did it work? | 09:09 |
| LarsN | ok, old server, working fine. | 09:09 |
| yossi1 | looks like it is, it discovered the printer | 09:09 |
| shaibn | LarsN, I wanted to virtualize it .. so I created a new VM on another VM host and created an empty disk on it ... with two partitions. 1 for swap another for root with ext3 filesystem | 09:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: cool | 09:10 |
| shaibn | LarsN, old server works fine, and using grub-legacy | 09:10 |
| shaibn | LarsN, then I turned the VM on with a live CD and used rsync to copy the old server to the new one. | 09:10 |
| llutz_ | shaibn: did you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-legacy" ? did it ask for a place where to write the bootmanager? | 09:10 |
| shaibn | LarsN, then I wanted to install grub-legacy and get it running .. | 09:10 |
| yossi1 | in the printers tab under status is says "Idle - "/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtops failed"" | 09:11 |
| shaibn | LarsN, if you mean on the VM, then i'm just getting 'grub-legacy' is not installed ... so maybe it isn't installed ... I just know it is a very old server and running grub1 | 09:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: the printer is on and connected right (go to the printer's IP in firefox to make sure it didn't move to a new ip!) | 09:12 |
| yossi1 | i got that ip from the router | 09:12 |
| LarsN | shaibn: so at this point the VM is still running the live-cd correct? | 09:12 |
| LarsN | with the rsync data from the old server on it's local disk/ | 09:12 |
| llutz_ | shaibn: dpkg -l '*grub*' |grep ^i to check what grub you have | 09:13 |
| shaibn | LarsN, yes. And I've made sure it has grub 0.97 installed on it. | 09:13 |
| shaibn | and I'm chrooted into the mounted environment | 09:13 |
| seb__ | Hi all, I did follow these instructions http://askubuntu.com/questions/124174/how-do-i-move-my-encrypted-home-to-a-new-computer t transfer my home to my new computer. Now I have lots of ECRYPT_FNEK_ENCRYPTED... folders in my new home | 09:13 |
| LarsN | shaibn: so worst case, you should be able to use "grub" and at the grub > root (hd1,0) or hd(0,0) /// | 09:13 |
| LarsN | I always get it wrong the first time around. | 09:13 |
| shaibn | LarsN, that didn't work | 09:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: make sure you set up a static ip on the printer or you may find that one day it just "stops working" | 09:13 |
| yossi1 | it would need to "start" working first :P | 09:14 |
| codekK | DarwinSurvivor, here a link http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7162/capturadepantallade2012.png | 09:14 |
| LarsN | shaibn: you finished with: grub > setup (hd0) | 09:15 |
| LarsN | ? | 09:15 |
| yossi1 | also, the dhcp server in my router gives very long leases, so it's unlikley to change | 09:15 |
| yossi1 | could still happen though | 09:15 |
| * LarsN spent too many years in BSD land. Grub is confusing :) | 09:15 | |
| shaibn | LarsN, a moment please | 09:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: I give static IP's to *all* my machines, just makes things easier in the future (I also add their hostnames to each others' /etc/hosts files) | 09:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: the configuration steps in the web interface should be *fairly* similar to the one in the GUI except that it won't do auto-detect. | 09:17 |
| LarsN | DarwinSurvivor: I setup static reservations for all the machines in the house with cat-6 cables. wifi devices can use whatever's available. | 09:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: if you have a computer set up that works already, compare the settings (especially which driver you used) to see if they are the same | 09:18 |
| yossi1 | where are the settings stored? | 09:18 |
| LarsN | it's nice to just leave everything set for DHCP, but know what IP the desktops/printers/etc are going to get. | 09:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | LarsN: our household has 4 laptops, so I gave them all statics as well | 09:19 |
| LarsN | I never connect to the laptops from anywhere else. | 09:19 |
| llutz_ | DarwinSurvivor: you seem to have too much time ;) | 09:19 |
| fran_ | irc.freenode.net | 09:19 |
| LarsN | usually put things on the zfs based storage server, and/or get them from there. | 09:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: if you go to "administration -> manage printers -> your printer" it should list all the driver info | 09:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yossi1: you should open the working machine's web-interface as well, then you can compare the settings directly | 09:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | llutz_: because I'm in here or because I static-IP all my machines? | 09:20 |
| llutz_ | DarwinSurvivor: the latter ;) | 09:21 |
| Jordan_U | shaibn: LarsN: Ubuntu uses grub2. Installing grub legacy is *not* what you want to do (but it's what you're currently doing). | 09:22 |
| LarsN | Jordan_U: I'm not doing anything with grub. :) | 09:22 |
| === onats_ is now known as onats | ||
| === zip is now known as unzip | ||
| LarsN | Jordan_U: and if he has an old installation he's rsynced over to a new virtual host, it's quite possible it's exactly what he wants to do. | 09:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | llutz_: only takes 10 seconds to set up static IP's and copying the host info can be done via SSH *very* quickly (using grep and tee) | 09:22 |
| llutz_ | DarwinSurvivor: takes 5minutes once to configure a router (dhcp/dns) and you never ever have to waste those 10 seconds (imo) | 09:23 |
| === Youri is now known as Iruoy | ||
| LarsN | DarwinSurvivor: dhcp with MAC based reservations is easier :) | 09:23 |
| LarsN | makes moving the entire network to say 172.16.28 from 192.168.0 faster too :) | 09:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | llutz_: for ip in a_list_of_other_ips ; do echo my_hostname my_static_ip | ssh $ip "sudo tee -a /etc/hosts"; done | 09:24 |
| llutz_ | DarwinSurvivor: needs all computers running at this time etc.pp. anyways, different people, different ways to handle a task | 09:25 |
| Jordan_U | shaibn: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 09:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | llutz_: meh, works for me and I can swap out routers in a flash now | 09:25 |
| LarsN | <--- gets hostnames with "nmap -sP 172.16.28.0/24" since it does a reverse dns lookup for me :) | 09:26 |
| LarsN | I can't be bothered to remember what my wife named her machines :) | 09:27 |
| athrun | hello | 09:27 |
| hariom | I have installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 as minimal install. I want to get Audio and minimal GUI (i.e. without Open Office etc). Audio I need as my application will need to play with Audio files to test | 09:29 |
| TRaxx | hi Guys can anybody tell me where i can find libuclibc-dev and uclibc-toolchain for 10.4 | 09:29 |
| ikonia | TRaxx: if they exist, they are in the repos | 09:30 |
| TRaxx | I looked and cant find them for 10.04 andly hardy | 09:30 |
| hariom | For minimal GUI, some time back someone suggested to try: xdm, gnome-core and xorg. How to ensure audio also works | 09:30 |
| iceroot | hariom: install the xserver and pulseaudio | 09:30 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi i have real problem with flash on firefox , the videos are blue and all the window begind any flash application are some kind of trasparent | 09:30 |
| ikonia | TRaxx: then they are not there | 09:30 |
| hariom | iceroot: is xserver for gui? | 09:30 |
| troulouliou_dev | anybody aware of this situation i m on 12.04 with medibuntu | 09:30 |
| TRaxx | ikonia, oke | 09:31 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: a few people have reported that bug, if you are installing from medibuntu - contact medibuntu for support of their repos | 09:31 |
| iceroot | hariom: yes | 09:31 |
| iceroot | hariom: it is the gui itself without a real desktop environment | 09:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ikonia: is that a medibuntu-specific bug? | 09:31 |
| ikonia | DarwinSurvivor: the people I've seen report it have been pulling packages from medibuntu, I've not seen anyone having a problem pulling flash from main | 09:31 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, ok | 09:32 |
| ikonia | DarwinSurvivor: that could be a co-incidence, but I don't know | 09:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ikonia: that explains a LOT! | 09:32 |
| TRaxx | ikonia, any idea where i could find them besides the repo | 09:32 |
| ikonia | TRaxx: if they exist, they are in the repo | 09:32 |
| ikonia | TRaxx: you should not be pulling them or trying to pull them from anywhere else | 09:32 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: I was getting that bug, without medibuntu. | 09:32 |
| ikonia | DarwinSurvivor: there you go, Jordan_U has the issue without the medibuntu repo | 09:33 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: you are the first I've seen | 09:33 |
| HackerII | um, just now, the updates gave me a warning, saying the sources were not trusted and have no change logs with also being unsafe....did some one get hacked ?? | 09:33 |
| troulouliou_dev | what are the advanteages of medibuntu btw , i think i just installed it after reading a top 10 things to do after installing 12.04 :) | 09:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | well, there goes that theory | 09:33 |
| TRaxx | ikonia, so they not there im screwed... use another flavour | 09:33 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: trusting unofficial docs for "top 10 things" and installing things blind for no reason isn't a good way to go | 09:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: very unlikely, probably a missing GPG key on your end. please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update" | 09:33 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, guess you are right :) | 09:34 |
| HackerII | not sure but ok | 09:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | TRaxx: why do you need those libraries? | 09:34 |
| lusuhard_ | some wiki's guide? | 09:34 |
| lusuhard_ | hello to 'vr1! I would like to know how to pack a ubuntu.img to make a loop device | 09:34 |
| wendico | i updated and i cant install GMAMEUI from the software center anymore, what alternatives do i have? | 09:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !find gmame | 09:35 |
| ubottu | File gmame found in app-install-data, gmameui | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | troulouliou_dev: This problem is related to Nvida cards in relation to GPU video decoding with flash. "sudo apt-get remove libvdpau1" will disable GPU video decoding for Nvidia cards (in flash and any other application) and may also unfortunately remove other packages you may want, so look carefully at what it's removing before accepting it. | 09:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wendico: according to ubottu, gmameui is there | 09:35 |
| lusuhard_ | hello to 'vr1! I would like to know how to pack a ubuntu.img to make a loop device. some wiki's guide? | 09:35 |
| HackerII | sudo apt-get update works perfect | 09:35 |
| troulouliou_dev | Jordan_U, thanks this happens with all the nvidia bin driver ? or there is a stable version | 09:36 |
| wendico | yes, gmame exist but there is not an INSTALL button | 09:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: ok, then please give us the *entire* error message | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | troulouliou_dev: I don't know. | 09:36 |
| troulouliou_dev | Jordan_U, at least thanks again will search for this | 09:36 |
| TRaxx | DarwinSurvivor, Im trying to build busybox for qemu | 09:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wendico: then it's probably already installed... | 09:36 |
| HackerII | the error is in the update manager when i try to install the updates | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | troulouliou_dev: Taken from http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue (the first of the suggestions listed which worked for me). | 09:36 |
| krababbel | troulouliou_dev: it is a bug in flash | 09:37 |
| wendico | only more info button and when i click it says NOT FOUND, try it | 09:37 |

| DocPlatypus | Just a few days ago, my system quit recognizing the normal weight Liberation Sans fonts. It only sees the bold versions, so anything I had using Liberation Sans (which was almost everything) showed up entirely in bold. I've tried rebuilding the font caches and uninstalling and reinstalling the font... what's the proper way to go about fixing this? | 09:37 |
| krababbel | troulouliou_dev: I'd guess an older flash version would work | 09:37 |
| Jordan_U | troulouliou_dev: It looks like there are other suggestions there which will allow you to just disable GPU decoding in flash, so you may want to look into those. | 09:37 |
| iceroot | hariom: yes | 09:37 |
| ikonia | hariom: why not just do a normal ubuntu install and remove what you don't want | 09:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !patience | lusuhard_ | 09:37 |
| ubottu | lusuhard_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 09:37 |
| HackerII | like i said, its not on my end | 09:37 |
| ikonia | hariom: if you don't know what you are doing to build upwards, do a normall install and remove/downscale | 09:37 |
| HackerII | lemme screen shot it | 09:38 |
| lusuhard_ | tnx | 09:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: well, if it was on ubuntu's end there would be a hundred other people in here with the same problem, so let's make SURE it's not on your end! | 09:38 |
| troulouliou_dev | Jordan_U, , krababbel : thanks , little bit fed up of nvidia on linux in general , i just spent 2 days tweaking my htpc with my lcd hdmi tv so acquire the correct resolution ... fed up | 09:38 |

| krababbel | troulouliou_dev: you got analogue audio out? | 09:40 |
| wendico | can anyone help me with the error trying to install gmame? | 09:41 |
| Heartbeats | LarsN: okay i read some forums that told me to get luvcview, i did that. and it says; libv4l2; error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy | unable to set format: Device or resource busy| Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal | 09:41 |
| Heartbeats | LarsN: I'm trying to get my hp webcam to work sans driver, for your memory | 09:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: ok, and which part of that screenshot is the error? | 09:41 |
| troulouliou_dev | krababbel, no hdmi output for audio too , the issue was that adding a new mode in xorg.conf or through xrand had no effect unless you disable edid use , which also disable hdmi audio output, the only solution to have both is to download the edid from the tv screen and tweak the file with some rare available tools ... | 09:42 |
| HackerII | 2 funny, now its working | 09:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: well ok then, problem solved :) | 09:43 |
| krababbel | troulouliou_dev: I see, thanks | 09:43 |
| HackerII | also, i updated, it was changed in the last 5 mins, cuz now it gives an alternate http for change logs | 09:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wendico: please run "sudo apt-get install gemameui" and copy/paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 09:44 |
| HackerII | cornmazing | 09:44 |
| krababbel | unfortunately, hdmi's primary purpose seems to be DRM | 09:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: do you have any PPA's installed? | 09:44 |
| HackerII | opera | 09:44 |
| wendico | darwinsurvivor, my output is in spanish but it came to say that there is no candidate for the instalation | 09:44 |
| HackerII | but evenm when i unchecked opera i got the same error | 09:44 |
| HackerII | 2 weird | 09:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: then opera's PPA's are probably having problems (according to your screenshot they also don't support changelogs on their PPA) | 09:45 |
| HackerII | but, its ok now so | 09:45 |
| tero | hi guys, i have a stupid question. Is it possible to remove GUI from normal ubuntu so it almost the same as ubuntu server? | 09:45 |
| HackerII | i said it was ALL packages | 09:45 |
| HackerII | that said it | 09:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: yes, but apt is STILL trying to access their PPA because a PPA can override ANY package, not just the one you *think* it's overriding | 09:45 |
| HackerII | ooo | 09:45 |
| HackerII | i c now | 09:45 |
| HackerII | i owe u coffee | 09:45 |
| DocPlatypus | krababbel: it is, but a device manufacturer can do unencrypted HDMI if they so choose | 09:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: a PPA is litteraly a 3rd party repository | 09:46 |
| HackerII | i c now, thanks | 09:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | HackerII: no problem | 09:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tero: what is the target use of the system (web server, media streamer, torrent box, etc)? | 09:46 |
| krababbel | DocPlatypus: yes, but still it's just dvi in a different format I read. Expensive long cables because of the properties. | 09:47 |
| HackerII | boy, after installing x-p on a neighbors machine today, and it being 8 yrs sinc i used windoze.. it sure made me glad i dont,, i honestly cant see any reason why people still use that crap, i mean, there is $ signs attatched to every mouse click | 09:47 |
| HackerII | i done | 09:48 |
| tero | DarwinSurvivor complicated :) I could call it a webserver, I have some very specific hw that I just can't to setup on ubuntu server, but on normal ubuntu works fine. I guess is just a PEBKAC error | 09:48 |
| tero | so the easiest methos(if is it even possible) is just to remove the x | 09:48 |
| DocPlatypus | maybe my question as originally worded was TL;DR... so I'll ask it short, how to fix problem with the regular version of a font not showing up in GNOME? | 09:48 |
| lusuhard_ | patience was taken... no ideas? | 09:50 |
| HackerII | ok im out, take care folks | 09:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lusuhard_: could you please re-phrase your question? the original didn't make a lot of sense (from a technical standpoint) | 09:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tero: what type of hardware? | 09:51 |
| codekK | hello all, why my top dock isnt with new gnome3 style at ubuntu 12.04 ???? | 09:52 |
| lusuhard_ | I have to mount chrooted linux on my tablet, running android. my HW is asus transformer. I have excellent guide to chroot it, but the ubuntu version it is giving to me is too slow, I use VNC to have it on my andro desktop but it is too slow, so I dowloaded theXubuntu, but still the ubuntu from the installation package comes in .img format, so I would like to know how to put xubuntu in .img to install it instead of the custom it is gi | 09:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lusuhard_: could you please post a link to A) the guide you are following, so we can see what you are trying b) the ubuntu version you found in .img format | 09:55 |
| lusuhard_ | DarwinSurvivor http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/ | 09:56 |
| aadil | hello guys. i am using ubuntu 12.04 server and the 'less' command is failing silently (with no output) and the man command fails with this output: https://gist.github.com/2717834 | 09:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lusuhard_: and what phone are you using?> | 09:57 |
| elkng | ubuntu can be installed on android ? | 09:57 |
| lusuhard_ | in the guide's video, 20:00 you can see the ubuntu, looks like 10.04 or 10.10 | 09:57 |
| lusuhard_ | I have asus transformer tablet version 101 | 09:57 |
| codekK | How i can set the top bar at new look like gnome3 ???? | 09:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: you could use gnome-shell | 09:58 |
| lusuhard_ | DarwinSurvivor in the guide's video, 20:00 you can see the ubuntu, looks like 10.04 or 10.10 I have asus transformer tablet version 101 | 09:58 |
| codekK | DarwinSurvivor, with classic gnome cant have the new style of bar? (dark bar) | 09:59 |
| DJones | lusuhard_: I've looked at putting Ubuntu on my transformer prime, but the comments I've read say that running it via VNC is very slow | 10:00 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: you could set the color you want in properties of gnome-panel | 10:00 |
| lusuhard_ | DJones, do you have any solution? | 10:00 |
| codekK | Mikey^, where is properties of gnome-panel? | 10:00 |
| DJones | lusuhard_: Sorry I don't, thats whats put me off trying it | 10:01 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: you are using gnome 2 or gnome classic ? | 10:01 |
| sv | hi | 10:01 |
| lusuhard_ | DJones I thought it was due to ubuntu and not to VNC... it's a shame if it is due to vnc... | 10:01 |
| codekK | im using gnome classic | 10:01 |
| codekK | i just update to 12.04 | 10:01 |
| codekK | i dont want shell | 10:02 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: sorry, I thought you were using gnome2 | 10:02 |
| codekK | i only want a new style of gnome3 bar | 10:02 |
| codekK | the "dark bar" | 10:02 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: use cinammon | 10:02 |
| sv | is there a way to upgrade from jaunty to lucid? do-release-upgrade says: "An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool." | 10:02 |
| sv | or is a plain re-installation the only way? | 10:03 |
| codekK | Mikey^, but cinammon is a other Desktop enviornment no? | 10:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sv: good grief, LUCID?!? | 10:03 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: yes. | 10:03 |
| lusuhard_ | DarwinSurvivor... any tip? | 10:03 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: as far as I know, there are no customization possibilities for gnome classic | 10:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lusuhard_: My guess is it's either VNC being slow or the fact that you are running 2 OS's on 1GB of ram | 10:03 |
| obscurant1st | !ubottu | 10:04 |

| DJones | lusuhard_: This is what I was looking at, http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-rooted-transformer-prime/ it does say "It does run much faster in shell (than Galaxy Tab 10.1) but running Gnome via VNC has its limits, quad-core doesn’t seem to help at all for that." | 10:04 |
| codekK | I know it | 10:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sv: sorry, ?!? should have been for jaunty. Which has been EOL since 2010 | 10:04 |
| codekK | but i dont understand, why i dont have a default bar :S | 10:04 |
| sv | DarwinSurvivor, or tell me, how to go to precise | 10:04 |
| sv | ;p | 10:04 |
| sv | ahh | 10:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sv: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases for the schedule. At this point, you are best off with a reinstall (you can preserve your home folders during reinstall) | 10:05 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: what you mean default bar? Dont you have the two panels ? | 10:05 |
| codekK | sv, to update i think do-release-upgrade -d | 10:05 |
| codekK | Mikey^, yes i have the two panels | 10:05 |
| Mikey^ | ok | 10:05 |
| codekK | but with grey color like gnome2 | 10:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: can you post a screenshot of what you have *now* and a screenshot of another machine of what you *want* (google images is your friend) | 10:05 |
| lusuhard_ | DJones also... a problem to fix... how to reboot linux? do I have to launch it from terminal?? how to get a shell in android? | 10:05 |
| lusuhard_ | like Adb shell? | 10:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !eol | sv | 10:05 |

| codekK | its the image -.-' its like a gnome2 :S | 10:06 |
| sv | DarwinSurvivor, thx | 10:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sv: ubuntu only support upgrading one release at a time (ex: Jaunty to Karmic). The problem is, BOTH of those are EOL, so an upgrade isn't possible | 10:06 |
| DJones | lusuhard_: As I said, I've only looked that website, its not something I've tried, it might be worth posting in that xda forum thread I posted, they're probably the best people to ask | 10:07 |
| lusuhard_ | ok then, let's open a thread if there isn't | 10:07 |
| DocPlatypus | DarwinSurvivor: can't you go LTS to LTS as well? | 10:07 |
| lusuhard_ | DJones ok then, let's open a thread if there isn't (i'm doin' it) | 10:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: ok, 2 questions: what version did you install to begin with (the *original* install) and what version are you running now? | 10:08 |
| codekK | First i do a upgrade from 10.04 but i have a lot of issues then i do a clean install | 10:08 |
| codekK | 12.04 from Alternate 64bits | 10:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lusuhard_: I *think* you can go LTS to LTS, but his version and the next are both EOL and neither is LTS | 10:08 |
| codekK | I fix the problems with nVidia graphics | 10:09 |
| codekK | and now i have this problems | 10:09 |
| codekK | I update from 10.04 to 12.04 only for new dark panel gnome3 and i dont have it :S :( | 10:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: ok, so you did a clean install of 12.04 and then what Desktop Environment did you chose when you logged in? | 10:09 |
| codekK | gnome classic | 10:10 |
| codekK | without effects | 10:10 |
| morsnowski | the one you expect ont the right hand side ? | 10:10 |

| codekK | DarwinSurvivor, what its ? :S then | 10:14 |
| david | please advice how to do it | 10:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: you can *try* http://gnome-look.org/ but I highly doubt anyone makes ubuntu-classic themes because hardly anyone uses it. | 10:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: s/ubuntu-classic/gnome-classic | 10:15 |
| david | Like the following entry d-i partman-crypto/passphrase , is there any entry to give a name to crypt device during preseed | 10:16 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: but try changing the theme to clearlooks or something and see what happens | 10:16 |
| codekK | I cant change colro :S | 10:16 |
| codekK | or theme | 10:16 |
| codekK | :S | 10:16 |
| Athenon | whenever I run the su command to login as a different user, it hangs for like 20 seconds and i have no idea why (ubuntu server 10.04) | 10:16 |
| codekK | DarwinSurvivor, but when i install GNOME3 in other distr like fedora, debian, arch.. the default panel its fallback :S | 10:17 |
| codekK | and in other computer I install ubuntu 12.04 and the dark panel set by default :S | 10:17 |
| Mikey^ | Install the gnome tweak tool | 10:17 |
| codekK | Is not the official theme? | 10:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: gnome-classic was basically a "transition" desktop that people found worked fairly well on old hardware before they optimized gnome-shell. it's really not very well supported and shouldn't be considered a drop-in replacement for gnome-3 (it just *looks* like it) | 10:17 |
| codekK | ahm | 10:17 |
| Linuxsapien | good afternoon.. how do I get the old Gnome back? I miss the app-menu and clock being on the left side. thanks | 10:17 |
| alumno20 | windows better | 10:18 |
| iceroot | Athenon: /var/log/auth.log may have some usefulll infos | 10:18 |
| ikonia | alumno20: can we help you ? | 10:18 |
| Mikey^ | Linuxsapien: use mate | 10:18 |
| iceroot | Athenon: maybe you are using slapd instead of /etc/passwd | 10:18 |
| ring0 | !nounity | LinuxMonkey | 10:18 |
| ubottu | LinuxMonkey: 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 | 10:18 |
| alumno20 | yes | 10:18 |
| david | Can anyone please healp me on the cryptsetup issue | 10:18 |
| alumno20 | please | 10:18 |
| Linuxsapien | Mikey^ it doesnt feel right though | 10:18 |
| iceroot | Athenon: what about "getpasswd" is it slow too? | 10:18 |
| Athenon | iceroot: i'm using both, actually | 10:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: are you looking for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Shell (screenshot in top-right)? | 10:18 |
| iceroot | Athenon: then you know the reason | 10:18 |
| Athenon | iceroot: what package is getpasswd in? | 10:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !find getpasswd | 10:19 |

| alumno20 | do you like swimming? | 10:20 |
| iceroot | Athenon: hm, i thoght it was "getpasswd" to get all users from passwd and slapd | 10:20 |

| codekK | DarwinSurvivor, yes i want it but without shell | 10:22 |
| Mikey^ | alumno20: you can also use both if there exists a need | 10:22 |

| ikonia | ok - enough | 10:23 |
| Linuxsapien | ring0 thank you, Ill look into that :D *(sorry for late reply) | 10:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: I'm confused. If the only problem with your desktop is that the panel isn't "black" enough, then the answer is to find a black theme | 10:23 |
| Athenon | iceroot: in auth.log, it gives me a reverse mapping error around the time that it quits hanging. i put UseDNS no in sshd_config, but it doesnt do anything | 10:23 |
| codekK | this is Gnome3 with out gnome-shell | 10:23 |
| Athenon | iceroot: or rather, it doesnt help that problem | 10:23 |

| alumno20 | david tu tienes pinta de ser español | 10:24 |
| iceroot | Athenon: hm, interesting | 10:24 |
| Athenon | iceroot: May 17 04:54:53 subaru sshd[7969]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for CENSORED [CENSORED] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! | 10:24 |
| iceroot | Athenon: ah ok | 10:25 |
| ohad_ | hello | 10:25 |
| Athenon | iceroot: wait, that's unrelated actually. | 10:25 |
| sirlark | I have shared a folder on lucid server by editing /ets/samba/smb.conf by hand. On the windows 7 pro PC, I have two users. One has a password (the admin user) and can't view the share (username and password incorrect). The user with no password can view the share just fine. Is there a way I can really really force samba to allow anyone to view and modify stuff inside a share | 10:25 |
| iceroot | Athenon: yes you are using su - username and pam is trying to identify the user which is coming from ssh and wants to resolv the user | 10:25 |
| Athenon | iceroot: that's a different login attempt via sftp. heh. | 10:25 |
| iceroot | Athenon: ok | 10:25 |
| Athenon | iceroot: still though, im stumped. syslog doesnt show anything, auth.log doesnt show anything, etc | 10:26 |
| iceroot | Athenon: maybe you can use "ssh -vvv user@host and then try your su - username | 10:26 |
| Athenon | iceroot: regular logins (using ldap users) are not slow, so it shouldnt be ldap methinks | 10:26 |
| codekK | Mikey^, its installe i go to relogin | 10:26 |
| ohad_ | I would like to report a security problem with ubuntu 12.04. My password works with both keyboard layouts. Meaning I have two passowrds for my same account. | 10:26 |
| iceroot | Athenon: maybe ssh is the reason and you will get some usefull infos | 10:26 |
| iceroot | Athenon: only passwd users? | 10:27 |
| iceroot | Athenon: you have kerberos? | 10:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: did you try them both from the login screen, the lock screen, or both? | 10:27 |
| Athenon | iceroot: passwd and ldap users login at the same speed in all cases | 10:27 |
| ohad_ | both from lock screen | 10:27 |
| david | "I have a problem with Cryptsetup , I'm running Ubuntu version 12.04 When I try to do a preseed installation with crypto methord for hard disk, I get the following output: the crypto device name is set to sda5_crypt , but I want a way to set the crypt device name to something else for security reasons , how to change the device name for crypt during preseed installation" | 10:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: *important note*: the login screen uses the system's keyboard layout, the lock screen uses that user's keyboard layout | 10:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: just a sec | 10:28 |
| Athenon | iceroot: using ssh -vvv, theres no debug messages during the time that it hangs. | 10:28 |
| ohad_ | Darwin4Ever, I don't quite get you.. I was able to type my password by pressing on the same keys but using different languages, in the lock screen | 10:29 |
| iceroot | Athenon: strace su - username mayb you can see some loops | 10:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: does your password by any chance only use characters that are the same in both layouts...? | 10:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: and did you try typing your password the *other* way to make sure it's not just ignoring the layout setting? | 10:30 |
| Mikey^ | Commander1024_: | 10:30 |
| ServerCrash | hi i have got dual screen setup done using twinview (nvidia card). Now what i want is screens should remain sticky even if i remove one screen | 10:30 |
| Athenon | iceroot: apparently in hangs on "poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout)" | 10:30 |
| ohad_ | Darwin4Ever, I use hebrew and english keyboard layouts. there are no characters that are the same, except for the numbers in my password | 10:30 |
| ServerCrash | what happens currently if i remove screen1 and reboot, then screen 2 becomes screen1 | 10:30 |
| Athenon | iceroot: (timeout) appears as soon as the hanging stops | 10:30 |
| codekK | Mikey^, thanks a lot !!!ç | 10:30 |
| iceroot | Athenon: then its trying to reach something in that hanging-time | 10:31 |
| codekK | I just install gnome-tweak-tool and the new theme is installed ! | 10:31 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: Good! | 10:31 |
| codekK | Thanks u too DarwinSurvivor :) | 10:31 |
| ohad_ | I can switch between languages in the lock screen, choosing between en and he. | 10:31 |
| iceroot | Athenon: but the question is, what is it trying to reach... | 10:31 |
| codekK | and the other question, is normal to get a "power" button like a gear? | 10:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: ok, and if you leave it on one of the languages, can you type your password either way for it to work? | 10:32 |
| david | "I have a problem with Cryptsetup , I'm running Ubuntu version 12.04 When I try to do a preseed installation with crypto methord for hard disk, I get the following output: the crypto device name is set to sda5_crypt , but I want a way to set the crypt device name to something else for security reasons , how to change the device name for crypt during preseed installation : """i am using d-i partman-auto/method string crypto""" to set | 10:32 |
| codekK | (see screenshot http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7162/capturadepantallade2012.png ) | 10:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codekK: yes, that is the new icon | 10:32 |
| Mikey^ | codekK: thats based on your icon pack seeting | 10:32 |
| codekK | Ok | 10:32 |
| codekK | thanks | 10:32 |
| codekK | and sorry for being so heavy | 10:32 |
| iceroot | david: for security reasons? like? | 10:33 |
| obscurant1st | is there any command to remove repository which has been added with add-apt-repository? | 10:33 |
| Mikey^ | obscurant1st: see if you find it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 10:34 |
| david | security reasons viz running vpn services on a ubuntu client | 10:34 |
| ohad_ | Darwin4Ever, I can type the password in both keyboard layouts only in the lock screen. I check the terminal, and there it didn't work | 10:34 |
| iceroot | david: and what is the security issue? | 10:34 |
| david | the rsa will authenticate the ubuntu client based on the name of the cryptdevice | 10:35 |
| obscurant1st | Mikey^: yes its there. But I would like to know if there is any command as such :) | 10:35 |
| iceroot | david: you design that concept? | 10:36 |
| david | yes | 10:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: well, in that case, you should file a bug report and label it with "security" so that the security team (which checks bugs VERY regularly) will look into it | 10:36 |
| iceroot | david: sorry but that is absolute stupid | 10:36 |
| obscurant1st | And btw is there any application for ubuntu which can take the screenshot, upload it to somewhere, and then copy the uploaded url to the clipboard? | 10:37 |
| iceroot | david: use a normal private/public ndesign | 10:37 |
| david | why , i dont want to authenticate my rsa service on sda5_crypt which is by default in preseed installation , i want to change it to something other than the sda5_crypt | 10:37 |
| iceroot | david: key | 10:37 |
| ohad_ | Do I need to be a registered user at launchpad for that? | 10:37 |
| david | so that only authorized ubuntu clients can connect using rsa | 10:37 |
| Mikey^ | obscurant1st: sudo add-apt-repository --remove repo | 10:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: yes, but registration is very quick and the only e-mails you will get (other than 1 activation e-mail) are for the bugs you submit or subscribe to | 10:38 |
| obscurant1st | oh ok, thanks Mikey^ :D | 10:38 |
| david | i already have a mechanism for authentication in place based on the crypt device name | 10:38 |
| Mikey^ | obscurant1st: I googled it. I also learnt something :) I usually just use rm | 10:39 |
| ohad_ | will my account in ubuntu forums work for launchpad? | 10:39 |
| === Youri is now known as Iruoy | ||
| iceroot | david: so you have something like a mac-filter, only clients with a specific mac/string/device are able to connect and then use a REAL authentication? | 10:39 |
| david | yes | 10:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ohad_: I think so, they converted a bunch of them to OpenID, so I think it is all one account now | 10:39 |
| obscurant1st | Mikey^: I tryioed google, but didn't find! Obviously you're a better googler than I am. | 10:39 |
| Mikey^ | :) | 10:39 |
| david | iceroot : yes | 10:40 |
| ohad_ | great! I'll do it after I restart so I will check it again | 10:40 |
| david | iceroot : i think you got my point | 10:40 |
| iceroot | david: i dont see the reason to use the device-name first | 10:40 |
| obscurant1st | btw Mikey^ Do you happen to know any tools which can take the screenshot, upload it to somewhere and then copy the uploaded url to clipboard? | 10:40 |
| iceroot | david: its the same a a macfilter, absolute useless | 10:40 |
| Mikey^ | obscurant1st: no.. | 10:40 |
| iceroot | david: just use a save mathod for authentication | 10:40 |
| obscurant1st | :/ | 10:41 |
| Mikey^ | obscurant1st: you could use curl, I guess.. and try to do it | 10:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | obscurant1st: not that I know of | 10:41 |
| david | but is there a way to change the crypt device name , since i dont want to go back on code review on my authentication system | 10:41 |
| obscurant1st | Mikey^: there is script which uses dropbox to do it! I could give it a try! :) | 10:42 |
| obscurant1st | DarwinSurvivor: ^^ | 10:42 |
| Mikey^ | Neat | 10:42 |
| iceroot | david: with dm-crypt yes | 10:43 |
| david | iceroot : please advice how do i do that | 10:43 |
| iceroot | david: you have a raid/lvm or plain /dev/sdX encryption? | 10:44 |
| david | lvm | 10:44 |
| Osakasa | obscurant1st, you can with shutter take a screenshot, upload (e.g. with ubuntuone) and copy the uploaded url. | 10:44 |
| Athenon | iceroot: AWESOME! fixed. all I had to do was go through /etc/pam.d and comb out all the references to winbind since i dont use it | 10:44 |
| david | lvm encryption | 10:44 |
| obscurant1st | Osakasa: Yeah I tried shutter, but its not what I am lllllllllllllllooking for! :/ | 10:45 |
| david | in cryptsetup , there is no way to rename the device name , apart from creating or remove | 10:45 |
| Osakasa | ok :/ | 10:45 |
| obscurant1st | ooops* sorry for the repeated ls | 10:45 |
| Linuxsapien | ok thats that sorted | 10:45 |
| iceroot | david: then you can even start to give your lvm a different name | 10:45 |
| david | yes , i am giving my lvm a different name than the default using the ubuntu preseed guide | 10:46 |
| david | but there is nothing for crypto | 10:46 |
| Linuxsapien | now "appearance settings" is telling me "this theme will not look at intended because the required GTK+ theme engine 'clearlooks' is not installed", would I just apt-get that? | 10:46 |
| Mikey^ | Linuxsapien: yes | 10:47 |
| Linuxsapien | ok Mikey^ :) | 10:47 |
| iceroot | david: you want to change the name shown by "vgdisplay"? | 10:48 |
| Linuxsapien | there is no "clearlooks", do I add something else? | 10:48 |
| Mikey^ | Linuxsapien: search for gtk2-engines-clearlooks | 10:48 |
| Linuxsapien | will do | 10:49 |
| phanimahesh | i need some help. | 10:49 |
| phanimahesh | can someone confirm that clicking on launcher icon doesn't minimize window? | 10:49 |

| david | i have already changed the name shown by vgdisplay , i want to change the name shown by cryptsetup , cryptsetup status sdaX_crypt | 10:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phanimahesh: yes, I can confirm that | 10:49 |
| phanimahesh | DarwinSurvivor: Thanks. Filing a bug. | 10:50 |
| Linuxsapien | Mikey^ it told me I have them uptodate, weird | 10:50 |
| iceroot | david: ah ok, sorry i dont know how to change that name, just know how to change the one from vgdisplay | 10:50 |
| Mikey^ | Linuxsapien: yeah. What theme are you trying? | 10:50 |
| Linuxsapien | a custom one, Mikey^ | 10:51 |
| Mikey^ | Linuxsapien: ok. could also be a mismatch is version of the clearlooks engine and the theme you are trying | 10:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phanimahesh: *trust me* it is not a bug! | 10:51 |
| Linuxsapien | Mikey^ well a mixture of "customise" | 10:51 |
| Mikey^ | Linuxsapien: Ah. ok | 10:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phanimahesh: it was a design decision by the unity team, it's not the most popular decision, but I do see why they did it | 10:52 |
| Linuxsapien | im gathering I need to find where the conf file is for themes? | 10:52 |
| phanimahesh | DarwinSurvivor: can i have more details? | 10:52 |
| Mikey^ | Linuxsapien: /usr/share/themes/? | 10:52 |
| Linuxsapien | ill look | 10:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phanimahesh: that decision is one of the most frequent unity discussions on brainstorm. There have been *multiple* bugs filed about it, but the unity team has made no sign of changing the decision | 10:53 |
| Anomie21 | How come I can't attach files (in gmail, etc) that are on network drives, I need to locate them in nautilus, copy them to my desktop - then attach? | 10:53 |
| piglit | is trine a good game? | 10:54 |
| phanimahesh | DarwinSurvivor: I found no bugs when searching!! :( | 10:55 |
| Dark-chc | anomie21 you should do it in the conventional way | 10:55 |
| Dark-chc | you have to do that to attach?? | 10:55 |
| Anomie21 | Dark-chc: What do you mean? | 10:55 |
| Mikey^ | Anomie21: cant you access the drives in file browser when you try to attach | 10:56 |
| Anomie21 | Mikey^: nope | 10:56 |
| Anomie21 | They aren't visible | 10:56 |
| Mikey^ | Anomie21: Can you copy the address from nautilus and copy it in the filename field in the attach file dialog? | 10:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sorry about that, my FreeBSD server is having a bad day :( | 10:57 |
| Dark-chc | did you try searching where the file is? | 10:57 |
| Dark-chc | root/my documents | 10:58 |
| Mischinka | I have an package dependent on libmysql16 and im using ubuntu 12.04 is there a workaround to install this .deb | 11:01 |
| phanimahesh | Can someone confirm that there are bugs reported on not being able to minimize using launcher? | 11:02 |
| Mikey^ | phanimahesh: I think DarwinSurvivor confirmed that | 11:02 |
| jrib | phanimahesh: bugs.ubuntu.com | 11:02 |
| action09 | hi #ubuntu | 11:02 |
| Mikey^ | Hello action09 | 11:03 |
| phanimahesh | Mikey^: But i dont find any, perhaps i'm searching wrong | 11:03 |
| Anomie21 | Mikey^: How can you copy from nautilus? | 11:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | phanimahesh: it's not a bug, it was a design decision made by the unity team, there are a LOT of users that don't like it, but it's to reduce confusion because the icons already do a lot and there is already a (-) button *dedicated* to minimizing the current application | 11:03 |
| action09 | i want to have a daily email, with the commands (history) typed by all users, any clue please ? using a pam module ? | 11:03 |
| action09 | hi Mikey^ :) | 11:03 |

| Dr_willis | Hmm. Still getting where after Unity is running for a long time. (like 12+ hrs) the desktop gets real laggy. a Logout/backin fix's it. Not seeint any one thing sucking down a lot of CPU. Other then X itself. | 11:31 |
| hariom | iceroot: I have installed xserver but still I don't get GUI | 11:31 |
| jrib | Dr_willis: happen with a different environment? A different video card driver (if possible)? | 11:31 |
| Dr_willis | jrib, seems to happen with Lubntu also. | 11:32 |
| Mischinka | jrib: they have a github and a tar.gz both which i couldnt figure out how to install from. | 11:32 |
| Dr_willis | Tried the nvidia drivers from the repos. trying the xswat edgy ones now. so not sure what to try next. watching htop output. X itself seems to be taking 42%+ of the cpu just sitting here running xchat. | 11:32 |
| jrib | Mischinka: have you asked them why their package depends explicitly on that version of libmysql? And whether the version in precise is satisfactory? | 11:33 |
| Dr_willis | i wonder what the TIME+ Colum means in htop. its showing X at 2x the time tht compiz has used. | 11:33 |
| jrib | Dr_willis: cpu time (man top is better for this) | 11:34 |
| Mischinka | jrib: no, i figured there would be a work around for this sort of thing. | 11:35 |
| jrib | Mischinka: why? Get a proper package | 11:35 |
| cristian_c | An other question: | 11:35 |
| jrib | Mischinka: you can work around it, but a couple of months from now you'll regret it | 11:35 |
| Dr_willis | memory ussage is only 2% for /usr/bin/X but the Time is higher then anything else.. guess that makes since.. since the cpu ussage is 10-50% just sitting here doing basically nothing | 11:36 |

| Mikey^ | Mischinka: or you can compile your own package | 11:37 |
| oshirix | hai | 11:37 |
| Mikey^ | ofcourse then, you will have to be in charge of updates/patches etc | 11:37 |
| jrib | Mischinka: because you're likely to "confuse" the package manager | 11:37 |
| oshirix | any malaysian here can speak malay? | 11:37 |
| Mikey^ | oshirix: maybe there is a seperate channel? | 11:38 |
| oshirix | im juz new..any body can help me out? | 11:38 |
| Dr_willis | rebooted. reloaded X with the same apps.. now getting X using 0-1% in htop. instead of 20-50% Not sure what to troubleshoot next. | 11:41 |

| fdfds | well I can't even print these characters here frin what I see | 11:53 |
| lollisoft | Yes, I reverted, but I expect the same error again when I repead installing open jdk. So my question is how to get around this? Is there a way around? | 11:53 |
| lollisoft | Hehe, repeat :-) | 11:53 |
| morsnowski | well i don't so java at all, i've banned it and would burn it if i could so with this one I can't help | 11:54 |
| morsnowski | ...don't do... | 11:54 |

| quixotedon | cgi101: you don't have to, you've had a hard time reinstalling for 13 times, try putting it on the ask.ubuntu.com as well as the video link and wait for others to see it. Otherwise if you have 11 version works fine, try install that and if you want to use 12.04 try using the upgrade choice instead of fresh install | 15:47 |
| theadmin | tyler_d: That's not recursive, but yeah, that works too | 15:47 |
| Mrokii | ringzer0: Though there may still be some config files somewhere in your home folder. Not sure. | 15:48 |

| tyler_d | theadmin: ahh no you're right | 15:48 |

| alo21_ | my network, after a new installation of Ubuntu 12.04, is very very salow | 15:56 |
| alo21_ | meadhikari: hi | 15:56 |
| theadmin | alo21_: Try disabling IPv6, it helps sometimes | 15:56 |
| DeadLock74633896 | Mrokii: I can't connect to the internet. It's mobile broadband, I had to install a Debian package to get it to work. Can I access the usb-modeswitch from the CD? | 15:57 |

| ForSpareParts | Does anyone know of a way to get a keyboard-focused (sort of Unity-like) start menu in Gnome Classic? | 15:58 |
| theadmin | alo21_: In NetworkManager, edit connections, choose your connection and click edit. On the IPv6 tab, choose... Uh... "ignore" or "disable" or something along the lines (haven't used networkmanager for ages). OR, append "ipv6.disable=1" to your kernel line to get rid of the IPv6 systemwide | 15:58 |
| ForSpareParts | For the most part I like Gnome Classic a LOT better, but having to click and search through the menu hierarchy frustrates me... | 15:58 |
| theadmin | ForSpareParts: Try dmenu, gnome-do or launchy | 15:59 |

| Dr_willis | Theres some classic-menu indicator applets out also that can be used with unity or gnome-shell. | 15:59 |
| ForSpareParts | Dr_willis: Sorry, but, what do you mean by indicator applets? | 15:59 |
| kkal | hello. Im trying to enable/disable some plugins in compiz and it doesnt seem to do anything. Is there a known cause for this? | 16:00 |
| DanielConvissor | hi. using precise/12.04. calling "cryptsetup create cryptswap1 /dev/xvdb" fails, saying "device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such file or directory" and "device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address" | 16:00 |
| DanielConvissor | yes, "/dev/xvdb" exists | 16:00 |
| Dr_willis | ForSpareParts, notice the icons at the top right of the unity desktop? thats the indicator-applet area. gnome-shell has a similer area. | 16:00 |
| DeadLock74633896 | Mrokii: Can I access the Debian usb-modeswitch package from the LiveCD, because I use mobile broadband | 16:00 |
| theadmin | Dr_willis: That's not what (s)he wants -- (s)he has classic gnome but wants a Unity-style menu of some sort. | 16:00 |
| ForSpareParts | Dr_willis: yeah, theadmin's got it. | 16:00 |
| Dr_willis | ForSpareParts, if you want a classic menu in Unity. that makes it easy. No need to use classic gnome to just have a menu like that. | 16:00 |
| KarpuzKabugu | hi everybody | 16:00 |
| Mrokii | DeadLock74633896: I don't know about usb-modeswitch. But you can add a CD in Synaptic, so I think you may be able to install files from the Live-CD. Though I've never tried that. | 16:00 |
| Dr_willis | classic gnome - from what i gather is also a 'may get removed in the next release' sort of thing. :) so dont get too atatched to it. | 16:01 |
| ForSpareParts | Dr_willis: Maybe I wasn't totally clear: I want a menu like Unity, but like, nothing else from Unity. | 16:01 |
| Dr_willis | awn also has a nice classic style menu you can use. | 16:01 |
| wine | hi all | 16:01 |
| Dr_willis | ForSpareParts, if you want a 'dock' you mean like the unity launcher panel. id say try awn then. | 16:01 |
| ForSpareParts | Its "MAKE EVERYTHING HUGE" strategy distracts the hell out of me. | 16:02 |
| Oxymoron | Hi, I am basicly using this code in a network game: http://pastebin.com/QfcCALhx. For one strange reason, it works on Windows and other linux computers ... So its problem on my computer.

| Dr_willis | You can make the unity laucnher smaller. down to 32 wide i belive. | 16:02 |
| ForSpareParts | (and Gnome Classic didn't come with mine -- I'm using 12.04. I installed it myself ; ) | 16:02 |
| DeadLock74633896 | Mrokii: Right. I don't really know anything about the Synaptic package, what is it/what does it do/how does it work? (Sorry if I sound like a total noob, but i'm fairly new to Ubuntu.) | 16:02 |
| Mrokii | ForSpareParts: Other options would "Cairo-Dock" or "Gnome-Do" | 16:02 |
| theadmin | ForSpareParts: Well just give Launchy a go, it's my favorite way to launch apps to be honest, just... can't get simplier -- ctrl-space, type app name (or even part of it), press Enter | 16:03 |
| ForSpareParts | Mrokii: Yeah, theadmin suggested Gnome-Do -- trying that right now. | 16:03 |
| theadmin | ForSpareParts: You can change ctrl-space to any other combination, that's just the default | 16:03 |
| cgi101 | quixotedon im burning it on a cd | 16:03 |

| oupateddie | I have been struggling with this since Firefox got itself updated to version 12 | 16:08 |
| Dr_willis | FF12 on 12.04 seems to be working fine here with Facebook Picture uploads.. (i dont think that feature of FB uses flash) | 16:09 |
| damascene | oupateddie, here too | 16:09 |
| Mrokii | DeadLock74633896: You should be able to doubleclick on the deb-package, which should start Software Centre or some other app that lets you install that package. | 16:09 |
| oupateddie | Well in 11.04 it does and you tube also does not display ant video at all | 16:09 |
| Dr_willis | For Youtube. i would suggest using its html5 feature.. http://youtube.com/html5 | 16:10 |
| inr | hi, i want to remove linux ubuntu from my computer and go back to windows 7. please help. | 16:10 |
| oupateddie | I have the problem with FF and Chrome, both do not work in F/B as well as You tube | 16:10 |
| DeadLock74633896 | Mrokii: Thanks, you've been very helpful. A soon as I try, I'll disconnect, so i'll come back if it doesn't work | 16:10 |
| Mrokii | oupateddie: I have had the same issues with 11.10 for the last few days before upgrading to 12.04. Really not sure what caused it. | 16:10 |
| Mrokii | DeadLock74633896: Sure. Good luck. | 16:10 |
| murple | oupateddie: Probably just put in the Windows 8 installation CD, reboot your computer and proceed to install. | 16:11 |

| oupateddie | I am on Ubuntu Linux | 16:11 |

| Dr_willis | inr, delete the partions, let windows remake themn. use ubuntu live cd and fdisk/gparted if needed. | 16:12 |
| * murple things Dr_willis is right. | 16:12 | |

| Mrokii | oupateddie: Somebody suggested to install the Firefox-extension named flash-aid, which is supposed to install the "correct" flash-plugin. It did not work for me (did install some flash-plugin and deinstalled another), but maybe you have more luck with it. | 16:13 |

| lorddelta | The upgrade your laptop every 4 years isn't, however :D | 16:14 |

| Dr_willis | !ccsm | sk1special | 16:14 |
| ubottu | sk1special: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 16:14 |

| DeadLock | _Marcus: Hello. You don't happen to know how to install .tar.bz2 packages in Ubuntu 11.10, do you? | 16:59 |
| _Marcus | DeadLock: Depends on what's inside the package. Just extract it first | 16:59 |
| ghostconn | any other way to control ati fan speed without using aticonfig? | 16:59 |

| mad_cgi101 | TomatoKetchup did u do this | 17:34 |
| LordOfTime | wwd: you can discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:34 |

| SharlieCheen | Sharky, You mean something completely different? | 17:35 |
| triunity | lelamal, ironically I am on xubuntu currently. And of course it works. However Ubuntu is nice ;) and if i can just get another 150 - 200 Mb out of my system, I could use it | 17:36 |
| LordOfTime | LmAt: wwd: further discussion can be in #ubuntu-offtopic, lets try and keep #ubuntu clear for support stuff | 17:36 |
| Sharky | SharlieCheen, yes | 17:36 |
| martian | Progster: you should reboot in to single user mode, and perhaps look through your /var/log/auth.log | 17:36 |
| SharlieCheen | Sharky, Try Awesome or Enlightenment. | 17:36 |
| LmAt | LordOfTime: Right. How do I change the terminal resolution of tty 1? | 17:36 |

| LmAt | LordOfTime: I don't want to change the resolution...but how does the terminal decide how many characters wide and tall the output is? | 17:37 |
| LmAt | LordOfTime: I don't want the text to change size. | 17:37 |
| LmAt | LordOfTime: I just want to use a different amount of the monitor. | 17:37 |

| Progster | ok I figured it out. Like the foolish n00b that I am, by accident I seem to have removed my own account from many groups, including admin. Hence my removal from the sudoers file.

| MrFaggotson | imbezol: A what? | 18:04 |
| imbezol | MrFaggotson: if you're trying to do it through the installer, i'm not sure it supports it | 18:05 |
| imbezol | MrFaggotson: if you know what you're doing though.. you could put one onto an xfs filesystem | 18:05 |
| MrFaggotson | imbezol: Well, yeah.. So, how do I install it then? | 18:05 |

| imbezol | MrFaggotson: explain why you want to first | 18:05 |
| MrFaggotson | imbezol: It's a stable filesystem, and I tested it to be faster than any other. And since I do a lot of file transfers, I need speed. | 18:06 |

| martian | subb1: I was trying to help him earlier. He is able to telnet to yahoo.com on port 80 and connect, but issuing "get /" returns nothing he says. | 18:23 |
| llutz | !webmin | duckx | 18:23 |
| ubottu | duckx: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 18:23 |
| imbezol | duckx: and last i looked, webmin didn't have much in the way of tools to assist with a migration | 18:23 |

| subb1 | martian, well if he is able to telnet to yahoo.com, then dns resolution works fine. he needs to provide more info then.. | 18:25 |
| imbezol | duckx: you'd have a separate file for each site.. | 18:25 |
| martian | duckx: once you get it set up, it's not that much work IMO, but then again I'm not having outside parties ftping in or anything. I just create a new directory, copy the sites-available config file from another one, and change a few lines. | 18:25 |
| imbezol | duckx: then you can just move the file in or out of the sites-enabled dir | 18:25 |

| imbezol | duckx: pretty much. you could have a file that is a virtualhost definition for the site, and toss it in the dir | 18:26 |
| martian | duckx: no, the domain doesn't have to be in the hosts file. Your dns server just has to point that domain to your IP and then in the site config you specify the 'ServerName' | 18:27 |
| imbezol | duckx: then run an "apache2ctl configtest" to verify the syntax is good, then "apache2ctl graceful" to activate it | 18:27 |
| imbezol | duckx: you would have taken care of DNS separately though | 18:27 |

| Dr_willis | Arney, as a work around. | 18:43 |
| Kyle__ | Arney: Are you sharing all printers automatically, or sharing them one by one like you do the folders? | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | but my printers now are all networked by theirselfs. ;) | 18:43 |
| Arney | Even that won't work... even public = yes won't work. | 18:43 |

| Arney | all auto... it shows up on clients. | 18:43 |
| Arney | But no one can authenticate a job. | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | Bertrand_, you want to keep the data? | 18:44 |
| Bertrand_ | Dr_willis Yes, I want to. | 18:44 |
| Dr_willis | Bertrand_, then use gparted. not fdisk or cfdisk | 18:44 |
| Kyle__ | Arney: I've experience doing it, but honestly windows can print to IPP printers, so I've not done it in ages. I point windows to cups and tell it to use the generic color imagesetter drivers (comes with allversions of windows), and be happy. | 18:44 |

| DJones | !minimal | SuperMiguel | 18:54 |
| ubottu | SuperMiguel: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:54 |
| DJones | SuperMiguel: Thats probably the main difference - downloading packages, rather than having the majority on the install cd like the alternate cd | 18:55 |

| whiskers75 | what is the command to look up your own IP? | 19:45 |
| vlt | whiskers75: ifconfig | 19:45 |

| whiskers75 | from the kernel sources (git), when i compile, i get an error when building modules, what is wrong? | 19:47 |
| cordoval | lorddelta: back | 19:47 |
| cordoval | i get a popup warning on nvidia server settings | 19:47 |
| lorddelta | cordoval: any better? | 19:47 |
| Dan39 | anyone know if the KDE/kwin over NX problems have been fixed in 12.04? im runnin the old packages from 11.10, but it is becoming pain installing other stuff since apt-get keeps yelling at my because of broken dependency crap | 19:48 |
| cordoval | it looks like now i don't have driver | 19:48 |
| kinenkaya | anyone running ubuntu in hyper-v who can tell me where i might start troubleshooting authorization scope errors? | 19:48 |
| cordoval | you do not appear to be using NVIDIA X driver, please edit your X configuration file and restart the X server | 19:48 |
| zvacet | I reinstalled 12.04 and now autohide doesn´ work it doesn´t hide when I start app | 19:49 |
| cordoval | lorddelta: do you know how to solve this new error? | 19:49 |
| bennypr0fane | gnubie by synaptic you mean Ub.Software Center? | 19:49 |
| lorddelta | pastebin the output of dpkg -l 'nvidia-*' | 19:49 |
| zach2825 | TIP!!! hey for anyone out there changing stuff in there /etc/ directory there is a program you should install its called etckeeper | 19:49 |
| cordoval | You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 19:49 |

| zach2825 | i use it alot.. but, i see that people in here are changing settings alot and if they "biff" something then they can just undo what they did easily with this program | 19:51 |
| gnubie | bennypr0fane> Looks like you can do it from the software center | 19:51 |
| bennypr0fane | gnubie the sc? | 19:51 |
| ruli | Dan39: apt-get -f install | 19:51 |
| lorddelta | cordoval: looks like you're missing a couple packages... | 19:51 |
| lorddelta | hang on | 19:51 |
| gnubie | bennypr0fane> search bcm in the software center | 19:52 |
| raphaelle | ruli : my PC breathes now ! CPU calmed down and so did the ventilation. dpkg did not propose anything so I switched to apt-get upgrade that seems to work fine at the moment. | 19:52 |
| Dan39 | ruli: yea but it wanted to change the packages ive installed to fix KDE problems | 19:52 |
| bennypr0fane | gnubie under "installed", right? | 19:52 |
| cordoval | lorddelta: ok i am here take your time, btw what are your temperatures now? just want to see also what is possible ? | 19:52 |
| cordoval | in C | 19:53 |
| Dan39 | thats not the problem | 19:53 |
| lorddelta | I'm running 55,50 on average, I run a 9600 GM | 19:53 |
| Dan39 | the problem is kwin crashing when run over NX | 19:53 |
| ruli | raphaelle: also do apt-get dist-upgrade to be sure. the ubuntu devs arent the brightest crayons in the box, the missing gui seems like it was probably a use case they didnt account for when there is an upgrade probably of some kind | 19:53 |
| Dan39 | in 12.04 | 19:53 |
| ruli | Dan39: turn off compositing | 19:53 |
| Dan39 | hmmm | 19:53 |
| ImTheDude | darn i just moved to a new apt and i cant get my wireless printer to work | 19:54 |
| Dan39 | thats a good idea ruli | 19:54 |
| Dan39 | ruli: you know if that actually works? | 19:54 |
| ruli | *upgrade problem of some kind | 19:54 |
| ruli | Dan39: nope | 19:54 |
| whiskers75 | im running a Toshiba Portege 4000, and it randomly freezes. i expect it to be ACPI because when this is off it works Ok | 19:54 |
| cordoval | lorddelta: that is higher grade than my video card in my lappy right? | 19:54 |
| === bennypr0fane is now known as benny|afk | ||
| lorddelta | cordoval: I don't believe so... | 19:54 |
| raphaelle | ruli : do you mean after apt-get upgrade ? or should I stop apt-get upgrade to do apt-get dist-upgrade ? | 19:54 |
| ruli | Dan39: if you're getting dependency problems though you're probably going to want to fix those foremost. i know that disabling compositing fixes display problems over xdmcp though | 19:55 |
| lorddelta | 9600M GS sorry | 19:55 |
| gnubie | bennypr0fane> when you start the ubuntu software center, doing a search for bcm should list install and not installed bcm plgs | 19:55 |
| Dan39 | i know what the dependency problems are, i created them by manually installed a bunch of packages from 11.10 | 19:55 |
| Dan39 | so that i could use KDE over NX | 19:56 |
| vlt | Hello. Can I install a package with apt or aptitude without running the program? (In a chroot environment, for example.) | 19:56 |
| Dan39 | hold on ill link you | 19:56 |
| ruli | raphaelle: before or after. doesn't really matter. better to do it before, but worse case scenario is you just upgrade oneeric or whatever, then re-upgrade precise. since you're already in apt-get upgrade you'll basically have to finish anyway | 19:56 |

| whiskers75 | vlt: er... why? | 19:57 |
| === benny|afk is now known as bennypr0fane | ||
| bennypr0fane | gnubie do you know if I need to reboot before I can use the firmware? | 19:58 |
| raphaelle | thanks ruli, I suppose I'm getting the right distro anyway : "Réception de : 750 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe lxinput i386 0.3.1-1ubuntu1 [63,2 kB]" | 19:59 |
| ruli | Dan39: well #10 says he did fresh kubuntu 12.04 install and still has the bug so answer is probably know. i'd still disable compositing and check kde's monitor settings, make sure it outputs only to one monitor, not cloning. that can crash it. | 19:59 |
| ruli | *not | 19:59 |
| lorddelta | cordoval: try apt-get install nvida-173-modaliases nvidia-96-modaliases nvidia | 20:00 |

| Orpheon | I've used wine for a very long time, and one of the things I've used it for was for a small game made in game maker which I like very much. | 20:02 |
| Orpheon | Today, an update came through, wanting to update opengl. I accepted, and restarted the system as was required. | 20:02 |
| Orpheon | Wine is now incapable of running that game (Which is 2d, btw). I tried running it in the console, with this output:http://pastebin.com/ckAS7G7z | 20:02 |
| Orpheon | (The missing sound server is normal and on purpose. That is not the problem) | 20:02 |
| Orpheon | I first went to the IRC, here is what I got from there:http://pastebin.com/uRd6q7G0 | 20:02 |
| Orpheon | OpenGL native works fine, my own programs in it had no problem running. I then found this: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/nvid...0-oneiric.html | 20:02 |

| Orpheon | I have asked it there too | 20:03 |
| Orpheon | with little success | 20:03 |
| Kyle__ | Orpheon: Wine links against openGL. For awhile (don't know if it's still true) you couldn't even compile it from source without having it link to OpenGL. | 20:03 |

| Orpheon | apt | 20:05 |
| Orpheon | wine and opengl both used to work | 20:05 |
| Orpheon | I just updated opengl via update manager | 20:05 |
| mongo | cordoval: iirc suid requires an explicit removal of set gui/gid | 20:05 |
| whiskers75 | vlt: no you can use apt fron chroot : just cp /etc/sources.list /chrootplace/etc/ and do the same for /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf and run! | 20:05 |
| mongo | cordoval: try g-s | 20:05 |
| cordoval | mongo: and what does that mean? | 20:05 |
| Kyle__ | Orpheon: wait for an update then, or compile a wine from source :( Sadly that may be the only option, but folks in #wine or winehq or whatever it's called now may have a different solution. | 20:06 |

| bennypr0fane | gnubie I did, but something's not clear to me: | 20:06 |
| Orpheon | thank you | 20:06 |
| Kyle__ | Orpheon: If you compile from source, give it a suffix (./configure --help will tell you how), so you can immediately identifiy which is your version and which is ubuntu's. Also, keep the whole source/build tree, so you can make uninstall if you want to get rid of it. | 20:07 |
| gnubie | bennypr0fane> what? | 20:07 |
| bennypr0fane | gnubie: "then sudo edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and un blacklist bcm 43xx. and reboot" | 20:07 |
| Kyle__ | Orpheon: Good luck :) | 20:07 |
| cordoval | mongo: it does not output anything | 20:07 |
| whiskers75 | vlt: oh then yes do use apts download feature and install manually, then. | 20:07 |
| bennypr0fane | what do you mean by "un blacklist" | 20:07 |
| mongo | cordoval: from the man page "you can set (but not clear) the bits with a numeric mode." | 20:07 |

| L3top | vlt that sock failure happens because apache is already running on the host (which is what stopping it would help with, though they would both compete and I expect you would want to background the process if you wanted it run... which you dont). That installed, it simply couldnt bind to the sock. There is nothing to fix there. | 20:45 |

| ThePendulum | cordoval: What's your problem? | 21:33 |
| cordoval | ThePendulum: my problem is with nvidia drivers, i cannot get the latest version installed | 21:33 |
| cordoval | or lorddelta says it is there and even downloads | 21:33 |
| cordoval | lorddelta checked my files and saw that for him it is an Xorg configuration problem | 21:34 |
| ThePendulum | cordoval: What makes you assume the latest driver is not installed? | 21:34 |
| ThePendulum | cordoval: As in, what (performance) issues have occurred? | 21:34 |
| cordoval | that on the gui nvidia driver server settings i see the previous version not like his version | 21:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Mischinka: what do you get if you run "sudo ps aux | grep dpkg" and "sudo ps aux | grep apt"? | 21:34 |
| cordoval | ThePendulum: performance basically is temp ranges on 80-100C | 21:34 |
| cordoval | for both GPU and CPU | 21:34 |
| ThePendulum | The CPU as well? 80-100 is quite hot for a CPU | 21:35 |
| cordoval | yes | 21:35 |
| ThePendulum | It will last, but it will die earlier than a CPU running at no more than 60 degrees C | 21:35 |
| belgianguy | can one manage 3 monitors in 12.04? | 21:35 |

| imdea | Hi, I just tried to upgrade my ubuntu system from 10.04 to 12.04 but this is what i received in my console: http://pastebin.com/6tjSpuKN | 21:38 |
| imdea | any ideas? | 21:38 |
| belgianguy | DisplayPort | 21:39 |
| wiggmpk | Installed 12.04 (Desktop) on a 2nd harddrive (/dev/sdb) and It destroyed my MBR (/dev/sda) which now doesnt let me boot Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04. After using boot-repair, I am able to boot Ubuntu (/dev/sdb) but os-prober and grub-install will not and have not found my Windows 7 Install.. Not Happy.. plz help | 21:39 |
| belgianguy | wiggmpk: first backup whatever you deem worthy | 21:40 |
| belgianguy | and then perhaps consider TestDisk | 21:40 |
| wiggmpk | Why is there NO option in the Desktop LiveCD version to leave the MBR untouched? | 21:41 |
| belgianguy | TestDisk can repair the MBR afaik | 21:41 |
| GeoGeek | Anybody know why my desktop shows sometimes even though screen is locked? On 12.04 but this happened on 11.10 too. There is a question on AskUbuntu but nobody has tried to answer it yet. | 21:41 |
| wiggmpk | I want a solution that doesnt involve another piece of software (much like boot-repair that caused more damage than helped) | 21:42 |
| cancer | how to install ibm E72 Drivers? | 21:42 |
| cancer | and yes from where? | 21:42 |
| wiggmpk | why does "sudo os-prober" NOT find my Windows 7 disk/partitions? | 21:44 |
| dlentz | what is an ibm e72? | 21:44 |
| cordoval | are there logs for this chat? | 21:44 |
| belgianguy | wiggmpk: never use a tool if you don't know what it'll do | 21:44 |
| cordoval | anyone expert in X11 Xorg here? | 21:44 |
| belgianguy | I can attest that TestDisk saved someone's pc | 21:45 |
| belgianguy | and that he even sent beer from Austria to Belgium for it | 21:45 |
| belgianguy | so it has its merits, so it seems | 21:45 |
| === SQLStud is now known as UrAznMaster | ||
| wiggmpk | belgianguy thanks for the advice.. but heinsight already set in on this situation. so, if you have something constructive, I'd love to hear it.. But your comments are just a waste of energy if they arent helpful | 21:45 |
| wiggmpk | and I am familiar with boot-repair.. Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop LiveCD is the culprut.. not boot-repair.. | 21:46 |
| belgianguy | try a _scan_ with testdisk, don't modify anything, if it can restore your mbr, wouldn't that solve part of your problem? | 21:47 |
| belgianguy | that's all I have to say | 21:47 |
| belgianguy | good luck | 21:47 |
| wiggmpk | belgianguy so you know a guy/gal, who knows a guy/gal, who had a problem... no.. I want a reliable linux solution that can be done in the operating system.. not using another peice of software | 21:47 |
| belgianguy | no, I'm a guy, who used it and saved his pc with it | 21:47 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, no need to be rude | 21:47 |
| belgianguy | gave it as advice to someone with a broken pc | 21:47 |
| belgianguy | he was so happy he sent some beer over from Austria to my place | 21:48 |
| belgianguy | but you're on your own now | 21:48 |
| wiggmpk | TomatoKetchup dont confuse rude with frustration | 21:48 |
| belgianguy | I'm not here to frustrate people | 21:48 |
| Silversong | Hey everyone. | 21:48 |
| wiggmpk | belgianguy check your verage.. the way you wrote the sentence wasnt person.. you know it saved "someones pc" | 21:48 |
| tyler_d | well hello there channel | 21:49 |
| belgianguy | wiggmpk: whatever man, pour gasoline over it and get a new one | 21:49 |
| wiggmpk | I am looking for a "built in" solution to this problem | 21:49 |
| belgianguy | problem solved for me | 21:49 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, nice excuse | 21:49 |
| tyler_d | I have a 32 bit 11.04 system that I am trying to get to "sniff" for wireless networks using aireplay, I am now to the point however that my wireless networks are "greyed out" and thus I cannot connect to them. | 21:50 |
| wiggmpk | this is the first time ive used the Desktop LiveCD, it doesnt prompt anywhere during the install where I wanted it to boot from.. | 21:50 |
| wiggmpk | reinstalling from the LiveCD same thing (only it doesnt resuse or delete previous swap partitions, its just makes more) | 21:50 |
| === JwbF75ug is now known as rbrooks | ||
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, have you tried using the windows 7 repair install? | 21:51 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, then boot-repairing from the live cd see if that helps? | 21:51 |
| wiggmpk | why would I do that? | 21:51 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, just a suggestion because grub has had 0 problems detecting my windows 7 install | 21:52 |
| belgianguy | yeah, I have 2 windows 7 images on 2 different hdds | 21:52 |
| belgianguy | and grub finds them all | 21:52 |
| wiggmpk | well grub didnt mind my win7 install | 21:52 |
| wiggmpk | and was running fine when it was 11.10 | 21:53 |
| belgianguy | check its config files? | 21:53 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, which is why I'm thinking there is something wrong with it. | 21:53 |
| belgianguy | perhaps some uuids got switched? | 21:53 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, I'd read over this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1855687 | 21:53 |
| wiggmpk | yeah, the MBR was destroyed during install | 21:53 |
| belgianguy | TestDisk can restore the MBR | 21:53 |
| belgianguy | but by all means | 21:54 |
| belgianguy | feel free to ignore it | 21:54 |
| goddard | can some one help me with this issue? http://askubuntu.com/questions/120640/unity-toolbar-icons-disappear-on-boot | 21:54 |
| TomatoKetchup | personally, I'd use windows cd to fix my windows mbr, then try reinstalling grub, if it persists then there's something else wrong. That's just how I'd proceed. | 21:54 |
| st2 | MonkeyDust: This is subthalamus. The reason your command didn't work is because of the ? at the end. lsb_release -sd returns Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. You guys should really be less closed minded. | 21:54 |
| wiggmpk | I'd rather not use another piece of software.. boot-repair was putting Grub in the incorrect (however their default) location | 21:54 |
| st2 | IdleOne: Subthalamus here, the answer to the question you couldn't be bothered to answer was "php5 --re curl" | 21:54 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, sorry if you already posted, but what is your partition/drive setup like? | 21:55 |
| belgianguy | tools and magic fixes only work in a very little amount of cases | 21:56 |
| goddard | anyone ever had their ubuntu unity icons disappear? | 21:56 |
| zach2825 | wiggmpk, im sorry im late on this but have you tried using grub from the terminal to rebuld ot? | 21:56 |
| belgianguy | and even then should only attempted if they are well researched and a backup exists | 21:56 |
| TomatoKetchup | zach2825, yeah I think he has, it's not finding his windows install | 21:56 |
| zach2825 | goddard, maybe you have to restart nautilus press alt+f2 and type r and press enter.. | 21:56 |
| wiggmpk | I'm not trying to be difficult.. actually I'm getting more difficulty from you guys than I execpted. But I want a manual workaround, not a tool or some program, where I am at the whym of the programmers. http://paste.ubuntu.com/993195/ | 21:57 |
| zach2825 | TomatoKetchup, ok thank you you can use ubcd11 only way i was ever able to fix that.. | 21:57 |
| Viking667 | I have an Ubuntu install, (11.10), and am running Gnome Classic. How do I make the panels hide away, or how do I change the size of the icons? | 21:57 |
| Viking667 | I've already looked in gconf-editor, and the options simply aren't there. | 21:57 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, the link I posted gave your instructions for fixing it yourself | 21:57 |
| tyler_d | I need a hand enabling wpa2 wireless encryption (was working before) please? | 21:58 |
| wiggmpk | zach2825 grub will install fine everything /dev/sda & /dev/sdb, however os-prober doesnt recognize WIndows install | 21:58 |

| psych | I'm trying to install ubuntu minimal in virtual box and when it attempts to download packages it brings up a warning saying it couldn't download dpkg 1.16.1. I've tried numerous mirrors. The packages it fails on aren't always the same either. Anyone know whats up? | 21:59 |
| zach2825 | wiggmpk, i see only thing i ever had luck getting windows in my grub was ubcd11 | 21:59 |
| wiggmpk | TomatoKetchup: apparently you didnt read it when I said I dont want any software | 21:59 |
| Viking667 | and here I am, I don't have any trouble with grub discovering BOTH windows partitions, AND the recovery partition. Sigh. | 21:59 |
| belgianguy | wiggmpk: feel free to edit files at infinitum, things like the MBR are hard to restore without extra software | 22:00 |
| zach2825 | wiggmpk, can you use gparted to make sure your windows partition is still there? | 22:00 |
| belgianguy | perhaps you should give it a rest for now | 22:00 |
| psych | ntpdate also fails | 22:00 |
| ldiamond | Is there a way to launch an application on a specific workspace (and even specific monitor also)? I want to always launch a set of applications on each of my workspace when I login. | 22:00 |
| Viking667 | psych: can it get out to the internet at large? pinging www.google.com is a good indicator | 22:00 |
| ldiamond | btw, I'm on 12.04, I'm using gnome panel w/ Metacity | 22:00 |
| wiggmpk | zach2825: i linked the results of fdisk bro | 22:00 |
| Viking667 | heh. You're not the only one who wants that. Can't do it with metacity. | 22:01 |
| psych | Viking667, it can. It successfully goes through a-d when downloading. Just fails usually at dpkg | 22:01 |
| TomatoKetchup | wiggmpk, frankly I don't like your attitude | 22:01 |
| Viking667 | I was using Kwm, or enlightenment for that. | 22:01 |
| zach2825 | wiggmpk, lol im gonna step out of this one.. im too late.. | 22:01 |
| tesmar_ | metacity? | 22:01 |
| wiggmpk | TomatoKetchup: dualy noted | 22:01 |
| tesmar_ | I use classic gnome | 22:01 |
| Viking667 | psych: try this: apt-get update | 22:01 |
| spartan2276 | How can I get my Wacom tablet to work? | 22:01 |
| Viking667 | psych: then "apt-get upgrade" | 22:01 |
| psych | Viking667, I can't. It's an ubuntu minimal installation | 22:01 |
| tesmar_ | the gnome 2.X series is great for usability | 22:02 |
| spartan2276 | Do I need to add myself to the Udev Group? | 22:02 |
| Viking667 | psych: huh? so no apt? | 22:02 |
| psych | Viking667, it hasn't even installed yet. This is just trying to get that far. | 22:02 |
| Viking667 | that's weird. | 22:02 |
| psych | No nothing right now. | 22:02 |
| ldiamond | I can't believe it's impossible to do that... | 22:02 |
| Viking667 | Are you still in the installer?? | 22:02 |
| psych | Viking667, I am. It's a text based installer. | 22:02 |
| Viking667 | ldiamond: impossible for what? metacity? | 22:02 |
| ldiamond | You can always start an application and then wait for it to load before you call wmctrl... | 22:02 |
| Viking667 | psych: hm. | 22:03 |
| ldiamond | Viking667, yea | 22:03 |
| psych | That's what I thought. | 22:03 |
| spartan2276 | If yes, How can I add my user to Udev? | 22:03 |
| Viking667 | ldiamond: that's separate from metacity though. | 22:03 |
| ldiamond | Viking667, I don't mind, as long as the result is the same. | 22:03 |
| ldiamond | Viking667, I'm just noting that I'm using metacity. | 22:03 |
| psych | Viking667, it's usually dpkg where it fails, but it just did the same thing on xz-utils. It looks like it gets through some of them though. | 22:03 |
| Viking667 | I've never had the "pleasure" of using wmctrl | 22:03 |
| Aliv3 | oh yeah, got distracted I remember what I wanted to know now, how can I repartition without loosing everything | 22:03 |
| psych | And it says it successfully set up the network | 22:04 |
| Viking667 | psych: right. Ping www.google.com for me? | 22:04 |
| Viking667 | (from inside the virtual machine) | 22:04 |
| psych | www.google.com is alive! | 22:04 |
| Viking667 | hm. Right. | 22:04 |
| Viking667 | choose another mirror, perhaps? | 22:05 |

| psych | Viking667, thats its response from the busybox shell or something. I've chosen Bahamas, Canada, US, and something in Europe I think | 22:05 |
| Viking667 | huh? and it does the same thing in every case? | 22:05 |

| tyler_d | how do you determine which module relates to your wireless card | 22:06 |
| Biblioclasta | psych, are you using nat as network adapter? | 22:06 |
| psych | Biblioclasta, I've no idea. I never changed whatever virtual box's default was. I'll check. | 22:07 |
| vlt | Hello. Is one difference between apt and aptitude that apt will only install dependencies wuhile aptitude always installs all recommended packages? | 22:07 |

| psych | Adapter 1: | 22:07 |

| escott | vlt, that is configurable, but per the defaults yes | 22:08 |

| goddard | zach2825: it happens almost every time i reboot | 22:08 |
| Kyle__ | I don't suppose anyone knows of a minimal ipp daemon for ubuntu server? I have no interest in installing avahi hpijs or samba just to print an existing ipp printer. | 22:08 |

| goddard | zach2825: sounds like that would only be a temp fix | 22:09 |

| Biblioclasta | psych, try set the adapter to bridged adapter | 22:09 |
| escott | Kyle__, cups should do ipp | 22:09 |
| Biblioclasta | psych, and setup the network again in the installer | 22:10 |
| vlt | Can I exclude certain recommended packages from being installed by aptitude? | 22:10 |
| Kyle__ | escott: Yes, but installing it requires all of avahi, hplip and a ton of other packages that I don't want. | 22:10 |
| cordoval | lorddelta: ping | 22:11 |
| psych | Biblioclasta, I will. Thanks for the idea. | 22:11 |
| cordoval | now temps are 74C and 53C latter for GPU | 22:11 |
| cordoval | but still alarming 74C | 22:11 |
| Kyle__ | escott: All those things are useful if not neccesary (like the poppler utils) if your printer is local, but if you're printing to another cups server or a well behavied ipp printer, you don't need it. | 22:11 |

| zorael | What could cause my ext4 partitions getting flagged with needs_recovery everytime you mount them? fsck gets rid of the flag but it's there again after mount | 22:30 |
| zorael | like so: http://i.imgur.com/fTOoD.png | 22:30 |
| lorddelta | cordoval: oh? | 22:31 |
| belgianguy | luvchunk: is the USB the first boot device? | 22:32 |
| burrito_ | gedit freezes everytime i try to do anything with jquery-1.7.2.min.js | 22:32 |
| grimeton | hi | 22:32 |
| ThePendulum | lorddelta: Encouraged him to install the drivers listed. Told him the temperatures his GPU is running at (50-80C) is just fine for the GPU he has | 22:32 |
| grimeton | where are the manual pages to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf users.conf et al? | 22:33 |
| luvchunk | yes its first in boot order | 22:33 |
| wormmd | grimeton: I'm assuming man lightdm doesn't work? | 22:33 |
| grimeton | wormmd: you ever read the lightdm manual page? | 22:33 |
| tyler_d | anyone know much about wireless(wpa2) | 22:34 |
| wormmd | grimeton: It's pretty sparse, I just pulled it up. Doesn't look like there are man pages for the conf files. | 22:34 |
| tyler_d | all of my wpa2 networks are grey | 22:34 |
| cuddylier | Hello, How do I change my vsftp server password? | 22:34 |
| cuddylier | What is the command? | 22:34 |
| grimeton | wormmd: surprise (!) ... guess that's why i'm asking here | 22:34 |
| johnmetoyer27 | So, I've been attempting a tri-boot between Mac OSX Lion, WinXP, and Ubuntu 12.04 on my iMac. right now when I try to log in to my Ubuntu partition from rEFIt my windows partition loads. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Grub is installed on same partition as Ubuntu | 22:34 |
| === shinobi is now known as mobius420 | ||
| belgianguy | luvchunk: and can you run the 'test Ubuntu' ? | 22:35 |
| belgianguy | eg, not installing it | 22:36 |
| hattorihanzo | byobu in 12.04 is f'd up | 22:36 |
| MonkeyDust | hattorihanzo what's wrong with it? i use it too | 22:36 |
| cuddylier | Anyone know how to change the vsftp password? What is the command? I'll not spam. | 22:36 |
| Kingsy | how do I play audio cd's on my ubuntu install? I am getting an error saying "a audio cd source plugin is required" from parole.. what do I need? | 22:36 |
| hattorihanzo | did u deal with the infinitscrolling bug? | 22:36 |
| grimeton | anyone else? | 22:37 |
| luvchunk | no i turn my computer on i get the bios screen the the multiple partitions screen no mention of linux or anything | 22:37 |
| MonkeyDust | hattorihanzo if you're addressing me: no, never heard of it | 22:37 |
| hattorihanzo | this bug exists in more than just the logo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byobu/+bug/952724 | 22:37 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 952724 in byobu (Ubuntu) "status area scrolled out infinitely (tmux-backend with libvte + VTE_CJK_WIDTH=1)" [Low,Fix released] | 22:37 |
| aguitel | hattorihanzo, and what about bill | 22:37 |
| hattorihanzo | its breaking /usr/lib/byobu/updates_available as well | 22:37 |
| hattorihanzo | bill? | 22:37 |
| belgianguy | luvchunk: might sound dumb, but tried another USB port? | 22:38 |
| aguitel | you kill bill? | 22:38 |
| hattorihanzo | lol | 22:38 |
| hattorihanzo | no.. i think uma thurman did | 22:38 |
| hattorihanzo | i just made the steel | 22:38 |
| aguitel | jejejeje | 22:38 |
| cuddylier | Anyone know how to change the vsftp password? What is the command? | 22:38 |
| hattorihanzo | but still, anyone else dealing with byobu infinit scroll bug | 22:38 |
| luvchunk | yeah iv tried all of em when the bios checks its sees the usb mass storage device | 22:39 |
| belgianguy | weird, guess it doesn't find the bootable image | 22:39 |
| wormmd | grimeton: so you're asking where man pages are that you know don't exist? ;) /usr/share/doc/lightdm has a gzipped "example" file. There really needs to be more documentation on that... | 22:39 |
| belgianguy | have another pc around, luvchunk ? | 22:39 |
| wormmd | grimeton: that example file isn't too much help either. What are you trying to do? | 22:40 |
| Kingsy | how do I play audio cd's on my ubuntu install? I am getting an error saying "a audio cd source plugin is required" from parole.. what do I need? | 22:40 |
| belgianguy | perhaps try loading it there, if it also doesn't load there | 22:40 |
| grimeton | i'm trying to find a manual page that explains how the logon session is set and can be changed | 22:40 |
| dsadsa | does gnome-shell work well with a intel 965GM ?? | 22:40 |
| belgianguy | it's the USB that's faulty | 22:40 |
| grimeton | wormmd: just using good old .xinitrc was to easy i guess? | 22:40 |
| dsadsa | cuz I installed it, but when I log in with "gnome" it loads gnome-classic :/ | 22:41 |
| luvchunk | yeah i get the same thing the only thing i can think of is i used to have linux on both then put win7 on both could windows have messed something up in my bios or something? | 22:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Kingsy only in parole? have you tried a different player? | 22:41 |
| tujohnubu | i cant seem to find advanced tap when adding new users in the latest version of ubuntu, where is it? | 22:41 |
| tujohnubu | tap == tab | 22:41 |
| cuddylier | Anyone know how to change the vsftp password, the command? | 22:42 |
| wormmd | grimeton: I use .xinitrc when remoting in because it works. Other than that, my last run session always comes up first when I boot up. Try setting user-session in /etc/init/lightdm.conf. | 22:42 |
| luvchunk | iv tried two differant usb sticks | 22:42 |
| tujohnubu | where can i set user privileges in new ubuntu? | 22:42 |
| grimeton | wormmd: so where is the man page of lightdm.conf that explains what this war is and does and which values one can use there? | 22:43 |
| TomatoKetchup | luvchunk, sorry if you already stated, in what OS and how did you make this usb key? | 22:43 |
| aaas | i set display_errors in /etc/php5/apache/php.ini but it doesn't seem to be sent in phpinfo() after server restart, is tehre some way that my php is in | 22:43 |
| dsadsa | gnome-shell works with a intel 965GM ?? Cause I installed it, but when I log in with "gnome" it loads gnome-classic :/ | 22:43 |

| tujohnubu | anyone? user privileges? | 22:43 |
| luvchunk | im on windows 7 and i used lili | 22:44 |
| cuddylier | Anyone know how to change the vsftp password, the command? | 22:45 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: which backend is vsftp using for authentication? | 22:46 |
| belgianguy | luvchunk: perhaps try this method? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 22:46 |
| cuddylier | sftp | 22:46 |
| cuddylier | grimeton | 22:46 |
| luvchunk | il have a go now and let you know thankyou | 22:46 |
| belgianguy | but I'd try on of your USB's on another computer first | 22:46 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: it uses sftp for authentication ? | 22:47 |
| belgianguy | just to see whether they work | 22:47 |
| cuddylier | Yes | 22:47 |
| belgianguy | np | 22:47 |
| cuddylier | sftp | 22:47 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: in which database are the users and passwords stored? | 22:47 |
| cuddylier | I aint that sure.. | 22:47 |
| cuddylier | How do I tell? | 22:47 |
| cuddylier | I only have one user | 22:47 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: see, that's because you don't know the authentication backend | 22:47 |
| cuddylier | I use vsftp | 22:47 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: if not other configured it uses the auth modes defined in /etc/pam.d/vsftpd | 22:47 |
| cuddylier | Yeah, I know it is sftp | 22:47 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: which usually are the system users with a default shell | 22:47 |
| luvchunk | ok will do thanks | 22:47 |
| cuddylier | is there a command to change the password? I remember one before | 22:48 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: so if you want to change a password, you have to change the password of the corresponding system usert | 22:48 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: man passwd | 22:48 |
| cuddylier | Oh... | 22:48 |
| cuddylier | The user password.. | 22:48 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: if the manpage even exists and has enough information to configure that ... | 22:48 |
| cuddylier | I get it | 22:48 |
| cuddylier | How do I change the user password? | 22:48 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: by reading the manual page of the passwd command | 22:49 |
| cuddylier | Do you know the command? | 22:49 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: you want to scroll up and read what i've written ... | 22:49 |
| cuddylier | I dunno what a manpage is :( | 22:49 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: open a terminal and write "man passwd" | 22:50 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: without the quotes | 22:50 |
| cuddylier | k | 22:50 |
| wormmd | grimeton: I've been digging around, I have no idea where to find what sessions are available. | 22:51 |
| wormmd | grimeton: I mean, it's not even my problem, and it's annoying me :) | 22:51 |
| tujohnubu | where can i set user privileges in new ubuntu? | 22:51 |
| cuddylier | Now what? | 22:51 |
| tujohnubu | i cant seem to find advanced tab when adding new users in the latest version of ubuntu, where is it? | 22:51 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: read - you have to use your eyes and read | 22:51 |
| cuddylier | I do. | 22:52 |
| TomatoKetchup | luvchunk, is your usb key 2gb or greater? | 22:52 |
| escott | tujohnubu, it might not exist. what do you want to do? | 22:52 |
| cuddylier | grimeton Would changing the user password change the mysql password? | 22:52 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: no | 22:53 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: do you have any idea what you are talking about? | 22:53 |
| tujohnubu | escott: so , there is no notion of privileges in the latest ubuntu? | 22:53 |
| cuddylier | grimeton Not really :S Which is why I came here :( | 22:53 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: there are tons of different passwords on the system | 22:53 |
| escott | tujohnubu, no there is but it may not be exposed in that part of the gui | 22:53 |
| cuddylier | grimeton I have the user ryan | 22:53 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: the main basic passwords that are used are the ones stored in the system's passwd database (usually shadow) | 22:54 |
| cuddylier | But, is there not a command like passwd ryan or something? | 22:54 |
| cuddylier | I remember using one before | 22:54 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: every service that tries to authenticate against that database has a file with it's executable's name (like vsftpd) in /etc/pam.d/ | 22:54 |
| grimeton | if this service tries to auth against the system, the instructions in the file are read and processed from top to bottom | 22:55 |
| grimeton | if it goes wrong -> no login, else login | 22:55 |
| grimeton | mysql stores it's own password database | 22:55 |
| grimeton | it's inside the database called "mysql" | 22:55 |
| cuddylier | grimeton But if I change my user password will that not change the user password? | 22:55 |
| wormmd | grimeton: best of luck, sorry I couldn't be more help | 22:55 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: if you change the password via the passwd command then the users password is changed | 22:55 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: but that does not effect the password stored inside mysql | 22:56 |
| grimeton | wormmd: yeah, thanks anyway | 22:56 |
| cuddylier | Good, What is the actual command? The man command thing didn't really show it. I have no clue about ubuntu. | 22:56 |
| grimeton | cuddylier: passwd | 22:56 |
| grendal-prime | lost my 70-persistant-net.rules file | 22:56 |

| caesar_ | what's the best theme.. or best place to get themes? | 22:58 |
| tujohnubu | what the hell, why new ubuntu is so limited in setting? i'm an administrator | 22:58 |
| Sheldon42 | caesar_, Try deviantart, or gnome-look | 22:58 |
| tujohnubu | is the advanced mode in new ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| caesar_ | Sheldon42: gnome-look is down for me | 22:58 |
| blitzkrieg766 | i want to build an ubuntu server vm, but i need a url to use wget to download it [from a freebsd machine] anybody know the url? | 22:58 |
| escott | tujohnubu, if you want to ask how to do things we can you tell you. if you just want to complain please find somewhere else | 22:58 |
| ruli | tujohnubu: developers know better. you're just a lowly user. | 22:59 |
| cuddylier | Thanks grimeton | 22:59 |
| Sheldon42 | caesar_, Looks like it's up http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/gnome-look.org | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: what do you want to change? I've never had any issues | 22:59 |
| aaas | anyone know why i have both /etc/apache2 and /etc/apache2filter directories | 22:59 |
| tujohnubu | escott: is there a way to swith to an old gnome interface like there http://www.instructables.com/id/Setting-Up-Ubuntu-as-a-Kiosk-Web-Appliance/step3/Set-up-XScreensaver/ | 22:59 |
| johnmetoyer27 | So, I've been attempting a tri-boot between Mac OSX Lion, WinXP, and Ubuntu 12.04 on my iMac. right now when I try to log in to my Ubuntu partition from rEFIt my windows partition loads. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Grub is installed on same partition as Ubuntu | 23:00 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: i can't find user priveleges tab | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | caesar_: theming is an opinion thing, so the 'best theme' doesn't exist for any oS | 23:00 |
| tujohnubu | priviledges | 23:00 |
| escott | !notunity | tujohnubu | 23:00 |
| ubottu | tujohnubu: 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 | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: you can modify users under the cog icon in the top right of the screen, if that's what you are after? | 23:00 |
| siganderson | mi sapreste dire nel virtual terminal da dove viene caricata la keymap? | 23:00 |
| siganderson | sorry | 23:01 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: as in "user can access cd rom drive" | 23:01 |
| tujohnubu | escott: i'm on ubuntu 12 | 23:01 |
| tujohnubu | escott: same? | 23:01 |
| escott | tujohnubu, yes | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: users should be able to mount CDs, does it not automount? | 23:02 |
| MrGizmo757 | is anybody else having problems with Thunderbird? after installing updates Thunderbird can no longer connect. | 23:02 |
| Xirrin | I have what is probably a pretty simple /mount, external hard drive, and NFS question that I don't want to spam the channel with if someone has just a few minutes. Pretty sure its a simple request, but haven't been able to find the answers via Google so far. | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | MrGizmo757: can you ping the email server? | 23:03 |
| MrGizmo757 | yes i can. | 23:03 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: http://www.instructables.com/id/Setting-Up-Ubuntu-as-a-Kiosk-Web-Appliance/step2/Create-a-Basic-User/ the image second from the right | 23:03 |
| forbidden404 | Hi, there, guys, I need help with two things, and i REALLY need help with this, I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu all over again ): | 23:03 |
| MrGizmo757 | i have tried multiple email accouns Gmail and hotmail ect. none work. | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: yes, that's in the cog menu in the top right | 23:04 |
| Xirrin | My Thunderbird works fine. :-/ | 23:04 |
| MrGizmo757 | this all started after the latest ubuntu updates today | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | MrGizmo757: do you use a proxy for web access? | 23:04 |
| tujohnubu | escott: should i use gnome fallback mode? | 23:04 |
| escott | tujohnubu, if you would like | 23:04 |
| MrGizmo757 | No proxy. | 23:04 |
| NFisher | hi all! how can i give out all numbers from 1 to 100, every one of it in a new line? | 23:04 |
| tujohnubu | escott: as in would you recommend this path? | 23:04 |
| Xirrin | MrGizmo757: I would start looking at your internet/firewall/network settings. | 23:04 |
| NFisher | in terminal of course | 23:04 |
| escott | tujohnubu, if you would like. not sure how else to answer that. | 23:05 |
| Xirrin | forbidden404: Whats up? | 23:05 |
| MrGizmo757 | Thunderbird works on my windows machine. Thunderbird also worked on My ubuntu machine until the recent updates | 23:05 |
| trism | NFisher: seq 1 100; | 23:05 |
| tujohnubu | escott: ok, i'll just try this way, and then another if i woudn't like it | 23:05 |
| blitzkrieg766 | i'm looking for ubuntu server iso [ftp that has them] anybody know? | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | NFisher: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4680971#post4680971 | 23:05 |
| tujohnubu | won't* | 23:05 |
| NFisher | trism, thx!! | 23:06 |
| escott | tujohnubu, there are also gnome extensions on extensions.gnome.org | 23:06 |
| MrGizmo757 | i tried reinstalling thunderbird and it just says unable to find settings. so i try to set up gmail manually and it tells me my password is wrong. even though it isnt. | 23:06 |
| Xirrin | MrGizmo757: I can tell you that today's updates had no impact on my Thunderbird. I'm downloading new e-mail as we type. | 23:06 |
| forbidden404 | Xirrin: I have a Hybrid Graphics, and I did everything in, and was fine, I created a script to run and turn off the discrete card, but now, I recieve an error, like bash /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch such file or diretory doesn't exist or something | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | blitzkrieg766: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/ | 23:06 |
| NFisher | ActionParsnip, thx, but seq is handier ;) | 23:06 |
| Xirrin | MrGizmo757: Have you tried using another client? Also - do you have 2-level authentication turned on for Google? | 23:06 |
| forbidden404 | Xirrin: and the second problem is about Online Accounts, this thing just disappeared and I don't know how to put it again | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | NFisher: often more than one way to do things in bash :) | 23:07 |
| tujohnubu | also one thing that bothers me is that i'm not able to set my resolution to more that 1024x768 is there a way to set a higher resolution? | 23:07 |
| blitzkrieg766 | ty parsnip!!!! | 23:07 |
| tujohnubu | than* | 23:07 |
| blitzkrieg766 | so wait, does that mean the server and workstation are from the same iso? | 23:07 |
| Xirrin | forbidden404: Have you tried "sudo mkdir <missing folder>" and running it again? | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: what GPU are you using? | 23:07 |
| TomatoKetchup | I'm starting to think Thunderbird is a pile of crap | 23:08 |
| MrGizmo757 | i dont know about 2-level authentication. i have tried other email accounts but not another client. | 23:08 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, if you don't know, I doubt you turned it on. | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | TomatoKetchup: are there any bugs reported? | 23:08 |
| forbidden404 | Xirrin: mkdir: cannot create directory `/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch': No such file or directory | 23:08 |
| Xirrin | MrGizmo757: I would try another client and see if it works. If it does then we know Thunderbird is the issue. If not then we can rule out the application and start working on the network/firewall settings. | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | forbidden404: add the -p option to the mkdir command | 23:09 |
| TomatoKetchup | ActionParsnip, I don't know but I used it in Mint, it wouldn't get gmail settings automatically, and when configured manually it couldn't even find Gmail. Reinstalled it.. wiped out settings... still the same. Now in ubuntu I can't figure out why it makes my fonts when composing huge | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | TomatoKetchup: I'd check, and/or report your own | 23:09 |
| Xirrin | MrGizmo757: You would know if you turned on 2-level authentication ;) | 23:09 |
| Xirrin | It turns everything in to a PITA | 23:09 |
| Xirrin | And its not an accidental move | 23:10 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: it is TigerPoint iNM10+AtomD510 | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: can you give a PASTEBIN of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a Thanks | 23:10 |
| MrGizmo757 | ok. i will try setting up Evolution and see what happens. as far as network or firewall settings it owuld have to be somting inside of ubuntu becuase it was working before the updates. and my other machine on the same network is also working fine. | 23:10 |
| MrGizmo757 | i try evolution and see what happens. | 23:11 |
| forbidden404 | ActionParsnip: Operation not permitted | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | forbidden404: not sure what was going on but the -p option makes the parent folders if they don't exist | 23:11 |
| forbidden404 | I did everything, I mounted debugfs or something like this, and nothing works... what makes me wonder is that I used vgaswitcheroo a long time ago and always workes | 23:12 |
| forbidden404 | worked* | 23:12 |
| TomatoKetchup | ActionParsnip, looking now, thanks | 23:13 |
| zooz | hi people | 23:14 |
| spider | hi | 23:14 |
| spider | zooz | 23:14 |
| zooz | is there a way to disable "reconfigure" on every package install? | 23:15 |
| zooz | it annoys hell of a lot out of me | 23:15 |
| zooz | especially coming from RHEL/Fedora type of distros.. | 23:15 |
| spider | sorry , | 23:15 |
| spider | I am windows user ... but | 23:15 |
| zooz | the other I asked the other day, how do I disable services auto start after it is installed? | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | zooz: can you give a package example, or is it all packages? | 23:16 |
| OerHeks | zooz what makes you think you can do without reconfigure? | 23:16 |
| zooz | OerHeks, I have been using other distributions fine without all this | 23:16 |
| psusi | zooz, by default, only the high priority questions are asked, which are rare | 23:16 |
| spider | can anyone here tell me where to find IRC channels for english learning ? | 23:16 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/NDQqBJHN | 23:16 |
| zooz | ActionParsnip, um, I am installing "asterisk" and it prompted me with a command line GUI for some information | 23:16 |
| zooz | so for example how would you do unattended install of some packages if it asks some questions interactively? | 23:17 |
| zooz | there must be a way to disable this | 23:17 |
| psusi | zooz, apparently the information is vital to get the package working and a suitable default could not be determined | 23:17 |
| anthyanthy | hi all ubuntu users | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: is it a laptop or a desktop? | 23:17 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: nettop | 23:17 |
| zooz | psusi, what if I, a user, want to decide which info is vital and when to enter it? | 23:18 |
| psusi | zooz, for unattended installs, you answer the questions in advance | 23:18 |
| psusi | zooz, you don't... if it is required or the package doesn't work, then it is required... | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: sounds like your monitr isn't reporting EDID as it should, you may need an xorg.conf to get it running. What make / model is the system please? | 23:18 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: samsung syncmaster 931c | 23:19 |
| zooz | psusi, then answer me this: I have a 100 ubuntu servers and I want to install a package called "foo" | 23:19 |
| psusi | zooz, though it is always possible that whoever packaged the program marked the question as required when it really could have a sensible default | 23:19 |
| zooz | which requires some info during the install | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: of the system please | 23:19 |
| zooz | psusi, so according to you, I have to go through all of the 100 servers and manually answer all those stupid questions? | 23:20 |
| zooz | that's really broken by design then | 23:20 |
| wifioregon | HI, how do I delete the guest account? | 23:20 |
| psusi | zooz, there was a way to specify the answer in advance when you go to install, but yea.... and it's only broken if the answer isn't *really* required for the package to work, which would mean whoever packaged the program messed up | 23:20 |
| siganderson | where does ubuntu take the keymap when in virtual terminal? | 23:20 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: it is Pegatron Walle L6 PV D-SUB | 23:21 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, any luck? | 23:21 |
| MrGizmo757 | No luck. | 23:21 |
| === Youri is now known as Iruoy | ||
| MrGizmo757 | i tried it under the live CD before updates and it works there. but on my fully updated system it dosent work. | 23:22 |
| MrGizmo757 | i cant figure out why | 23:22 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: does system name make sense? | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: this may help http://allurgroceries.com/n10/xorg.conf.intel you can change the res as you wish. You didn't have to become root, the users can run the other commands and the sudo for lshw will give the access it needs | 23:24 |
| Costin | hey, we need help testing a phone number: 213-416-1560, access code is 492-302-232# -- can you guys call in? it's for testing a conference calling platform. | 23:24 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, weird, so thunderbird can't see your connection at all? | 23:24 |
| Jordan_U | Costin: This is #ubuntu, for Ubuntu support only. | 23:25 |
| OerHeks | Costin wrong channel | 23:25 |
| zooz | psusi, thanks for the information, that helped me understand the philosophy of debian and/or ubuntu | 23:25 |
| MrGizmo757 | no it dosent seem to be able to connect | 23:25 |
| zooz | psusi, I have been using RHEL/CentOS/Fedora for many many years and never experienced that kind of nonsense | 23:25 |
| Costin | sorry! | 23:25 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: so i don't need to edit anything? and i just enter a command? | 23:26 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, what's the exact error you're getting? | 23:26 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: can you give an example of resolution change command? | 23:26 |
| daj5704 | hey. I got ubuntu 12.04 and im trying to install it on my 250gb external hard drive but how big do i make the partitions | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and paste in that text, it may help. Your monitor isn't playing right so you need to TELL your OS what it can do. Good monitors report what they can do | 23:26 |
| Mike9863 | How can I set a window to minimize by scrolling on its title bar? | 23:27 |
| MrGizmo757 | when i enter my credentials in it starts its auto configuration then it says unable to find settings for this account. this happens under both gmail and hotmail. so i try to set it up manually. when i do that it give me an incorrect password error. wich is false. becuase it works on my other machine just fine. | 23:27 |
| ruli | daj5704: one big one | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | daj5704: 10Gb Ext4 for /, 2xRAM amount for swap (I assume less than 2Gb RAM) and the rest Ext4 for /home the default install option will setup the partitions for you and willbe fine but if you want to get fancy you can do it that way | 23:27 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, this is the exact problem I had on Mint | 23:27 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, I tried reinstalling, deleting the .thunderbird directory, nothing helped. | 23:28 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, going to google for a sec, see what I can find. | 23:28 |
| daj5704 | ruli don't i need different partitions for the swap, boot, root and home | 23:28 |
| MrGizmo757 | ok. i been on google alredy i didnt have much luck | 23:28 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: i don't have such file | 23:29 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: ohh | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | daj5704: you can have one big partition for everything if you want, swap will be setup seperate by default | 23:29 |
| MrGizmo757 | most of the stuff i found was to old to really apply | 23:29 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: nevermind, pasting | 23:29 |
| ruli | daj5704: nope thats a relic of the 1990's. ubuntu is (in theory) an upgradable OS so you wont have to care about separating /home and / either. you'll just end up wasting space in practice | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: yes, the OS doesn't ship with one but some hardware setups need the file still | 23:29 |
| === eric is now known as Guest25293 | ||
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, yeah. when you manually configure, say.. Gmail... and hit get mail... what server does it say it's trying to connect to at the bottom? | 23:30 |
| ruli | daj5704: i would even make swap a file on / partition rather than separate partition for more flexibility and marginal performance cost but if you use LVM that's not really a problem eitehr afaik | 23:31 |
| daj5704 | ActionParsnip So what do i make the one big partition like ext4 primary and where do i mount it | 23:31 |
| MrGizmo757 | its not listing a server. it says tying common server names then when it fails it brings up the manual configuration | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | daj5704: that is the default option in the installer | 23:31 |
| MrGizmo757 | incoming is set to IMAP outgoing is set to SMTP | 23:31 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: i did that and i changed modes to 1280 x 1024 | 23:31 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, no I meant if you do manual gmail config, then try to connect | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: is that...better? | 23:32 |
| daj5704 | ActionParsnip: ok but where do i mount it | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | daj5704: that is managed for you too | 23:32 |
| ruli | daj5704: the one thing you'll need to understand about ubuntu is the devs aren't brainiacs. the defaults aren't necessarily always the best option, either | 23:32 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, you might want to check the Tools > Error console... see if anything useful is in there? | 23:32 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: so now, now there is a chanse that i won't be able to run X, well i guess i can always remove this file, now i guess i need to reboot? | 23:32 |
| MrGizmo757 | i had to go into advanced settings for that. its says IMAP.Gmail.com | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tujohnubu: possibly, you can boot to root recovery and delete the file | 23:33 |
| MrGizmo757 | server name list .gmail.com | 23:33 |
| daj5704 | Ruli: what do you recommend. Which partitions do i need to make and how big should i make them | 23:33 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: ok i need to quit my irc, hope to see you soon ;) | 23:33 |
| MrGizmo757 | ssl/tls port 993 | 23:34 |
| ruli | daj5704: one /, no swap. and as soon you enter the OS, go through the process of making a filesystem mounted swap. if you dont want to do that just use default recommeds for swap partition size and everything else for / | 23:35 |
| john3voltas | greets | 23:37 |
| daj5704 | Ruli: im confused. Im in the installer and stuff and how big should the / be and why should i make a swap after its installed | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | daj5704: you are clearly new to the OS, let the installer work it's magic. Ubuntu is made for Linux newcomers so the defaults should be ok | 23:37 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, your server name is .gmail.com? | 23:37 |
| MrGizmo757 | thats what it says | 23:38 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, for incoming it should be imap.gmail.com | 23:38 |
| john3voltas | is there a boot parameter to tell the kernel where to find the filesystem.squashfs? | 23:38 |
| MrGizmo757 | well it says server type IMAP then the line just below it says .gmail.com | 23:38 |
| daj5704 | ActionParsnip: ive used it with wubi but i want it on my external now so i dont know what to do. So justvuse the freespace partition thats primary ext4 and no mount point | 23:38 |
| ruli | daj5704: because you won't be able to adjust swap size after you install or in the case of LVM at least not without the same risks and problems. if you put too little or too much swap and want to change it you either wont be able to or could be in for a headache. filesystem mounted swap you can easily change size and as often as you need | 23:38 |
| grimeton | seriously: the logon stuff is f*cked up | 23:38 |
| TomatoKetchup | yeah. fix that to imap.gmail.com | 23:38 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, port 993 as well. | 23:39 |
| MrGizmo757 | yep | 23:39 |
| TomatoKetchup | I'd check your outgoing server, should be smtp.gmail.com | 23:39 |
| john3voltas | debian has live-media-path= | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | daj5704: it will need a mount point, or the data won't be used. | 23:39 |
| grimeton | daj5704: you can create as much swapfiles or swap partitions as you want later | 23:39 |
| ruli | daj5704: windows uses filesystem mounted swap. and it's 2012 | 23:39 |
| MrGizmo757 | whats strange is all my info under the advnace settings has all been detected and entered from the setup proscess. if thunderbird can see all that info it dosent make since that it dosent connect | 23:40 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, oh I know why, because then it defaults to trying to guess server config | 23:40 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, which is why .gmail.com is listed, should be imap.gmail.com | 23:41 |
| daj5704 | Im using my phone for this IRC so its hard for me to see everything im getting told to do so what should i do in this installer with a 250gb external hd | 23:41 |
| grimeton | daj5704: external hd? like usb drive? | 23:41 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, which you can change, but I think it'll still have problems connecting, because I had the same issue in Mint and it wasn't the server config. Something about thunderbird isn't allowing it to connect to anything. | 23:41 |
| psusi | daj5704, just pick the guided install option and let it figure it out for you | 23:42 |
| MrGizmo757 | ok ill change it and see if it works. outgoing should be SMTP.gmail.com i would assume | 23:42 |
| MrGizmo757 | ok we'll lets see what happens | 23:42 |
| ruli | does 12.04 default to LVM partitioning? | 23:42 |
| psusi | ruli, no | 23:42 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, yep | 23:42 |
| ruli | well there you go | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ruli: its available, just not default | 23:43 |
| psusi | ruli, you need the alternate installer for that | 23:43 |
| daj5704 | No like an external sata harddrive. Wont the guided install overwrite my windows 7 instead of installing to my external | 23:43 |
| ruli | wow reallly? not even optional on the desktop installer? | 23:43 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, if that doesn't work go to Tools > Error console, not sure if you'll find anything there but worth a shot | 23:43 |
| john3voltas | where can i see all kernel/boot parameters for ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| ring1 | ActionParsnip, does the desktop version actually support lvm and cryptsetup these days? | 23:43 |
| psusi | ruli, most people have no reason to use it | 23:44 |
| escott | john3voltas, the ones you booted with or all possible kernel parameters? | 23:44 |
| === Guest88387 is now known as Gurty | ||
| ActionParsnip | john3voltas: they are set in /etc/default/grub the defaults are: quiet splash | 23:44 |
| john3voltas | escott, all | 23:44 |
| MrGizmo757 | ok its partially working. its connected and its pulling my emails but i am gettign secure connection errors | 23:44 |
| escott | john3voltas, http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 23:44 |
| john3voltas | but that's generic, isn't it? | 23:44 |
| MrGizmo757 | and the Keyring app keeps popping up | 23:44 |
| ruli | psusi: well that's one opinion, anyway. i thought it might at least be on dekstop installer. oh well | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | MrGizmo757: set a blank keyring password | 23:45 |
| john3voltas | escott, but that's generic, isn't it? | 23:45 |
| psusi | ring1, you can hack it to do lvm by installing the lvm package and manually setting it up then telling the installer which volume to use for which mountpoint, and then after it finishes installing you have to chroot into the installed system and install the lvm package there too | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ruli: you could pull it in from the repo I guess | 23:45 |
| MrGizmo757 | it dosent look like SSL is working. | 23:45 |
| TomatoKetchup | hrm | 23:46 |
| MrGizmo757 | its getting my emails now but it keeps saying secure connection error. | 23:46 |
| escott | john3voltas, shouldnt be that different for ubuntu kernel, but it would be vanilla | 23:46 |
| ruli | ActionParsnip: yeah lot more work. if it's on the alternate at least that's something | 23:46 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, is authetication method set to Normal Password in the server settings | 23:46 |
| daj5704 | My bad. I didnt know that the replace windows 7 with ubuntu option let me choose my external harddrive. | 23:46 |
| MrGizmo757 | yes its set to normal. | 23:47 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, SSL/TLS as well. | 23:47 |
| TomatoKetchup | one sec | 23:47 |
| john3voltas | escott, i am after a kernel parameter that i can tell ubuntu where to find the filesystem.squashfs. debian has live-media-path | 23:47 |
| MrGizmo757 | yes | 23:47 |
| escott | john3voltas, why not boot a livecd and check /proc/cmdline | 23:48 |
| john3voltas | escott, good thinking | 23:48 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, secure connection error for SMTP or IMAP, does it say? | 23:48 |
| ring1 | psusi, alright, thanks for the info. i was just curious, since i believe it would be a good thing to have in the default installer, so more people would use it. i'm always using the alternate installer for nostalgic reasons ;) | 23:48 |
| john3voltas | thanks a bunch | 23:49 |
| MrGizmo757 | this is the error | 23:49 |
| MrGizmo757 | Secure connection failed | 23:49 |
| MrGizmo757 | 23:49 | |
| MrGizmo757 | 23:49 | |
| MrGizmo757 | 23:49 | |
| MrGizmo757 | 23:49 | |
| FloodBot1 | MrGizmo757: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:49 |
| daj5704 | I tried the guided install but it said that the / couldn't be mounted | 23:50 |
| psusi | ring1, it's a little overkill for most people, especially people dual booting with mac or windows which don't understand lvm | 23:50 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, ok let me see what else I can come up with | 23:50 |
| MrGizmo757 | ok | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | john3voltas: You can also check /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /boot/grub/loopback.cfg on the iso. | 23:51 |
| ruli | daj5704: well that's ubuntu for you | 23:51 |
| MrGizmo757 | could it be a certificate problem? | 23:51 |
| daj5704 | ruli: haha yeah. it happened on linux mint 12 too | 23:52 |
| john3voltas | escott, doesn't /proc/cmdline show me just the ones that are currently "running"? | 23:52 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, honestly I'm not sure | 23:52 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, never had to mess with certificates to get gmail working. | 23:52 |
| escott | john3voltas, yes | 23:52 |
| john3voltas | then that's no good | 23:52 |
| escott | john3voltas, the ones your running kernel used | 23:53 |
| john3voltas | i already know the default ones | 23:53 |
| Jordan_U | john3voltas: What is your end goal? Why do you want to use a non default path to the squashfs? | 23:53 |
| W1N9Zr0 | how do i repair the ubuntu /boot partition+grub so it supports mdadm raid and lvm? do i follow this http://blog.mydream.com.hk/howto/linux/howto-reinstall-grub-in-rescue-mode-while-using-lvm-mdadm example B, but substitute grub>... stuff with grub-install and specific options? which options? | 23:53 |
| john3voltas | Jordan_U, i want to boot ubuntu in a frugal way using grub4dos | 23:53 |
| tujohnubu | ActionParsnip: thank you, it worked and i believe that this system thinks that it is a notebook with an external video monitor so i had to disable "notebook" monitor :) | 23:53 |
| MrGizmo757 | well its better then it was. atleast i can get to my emails now. but a non secure connection error is definatly a concern | 23:53 |
| Jordan_U | john3voltas: It's much easier to simply leave the iso file as-is and loop boot it via grub2. | 23:54 |
| psusi | W1N9Zr0, you mount your root fs, and /boot if you have a separate /boot partition, then run grub-install --root-directory=/path/to/root/fs /dev/sda | 23:54 |
| john3voltas | i can't use grub2 | 23:55 |
| W1N9Zr0 | do i need to give grub-install specific options so it can boot with raid and lvm properly? my root is on an lvm volume that's on an mdadm raid array | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | john3voltas: Why not? | 23:55 |
| ring1 | psusi, sure, not many would use it. but it would be nice to have the partitioning gui being on par with the text partitioning | 23:55 |
| daj5704 | Thanks for y'alls help though. I'll try to install it some other time | 23:55 |
| db | hi. when exactly are files in /etc/security/limits.d read? I mean, I made a change, what do I need to do to have it apply to a server process? | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | W1N9Zr0: No, grub-install will detect that automatically and configure it properly for you. | 23:55 |
| OerHeks | W1N9Zr0, all i can think of, is your BIOS setup to boot from your LVM? | 23:56 |
| psusi | W1N9Zr0, no, it detects it automatically... it also doesn't need a separate /boot partition for lvm and/or raid | 23:56 |
| john3voltas | Jordan_U, simply because grub2 needs installation whereas grub4dos can be put to work without being installed into the mbr | 23:56 |
| W1N9Zr0 | ok thanks | 23:56 |
| psusi | ring1, yea, unfortunately it's hard keeping the image size down to fit on a cd... would be nice to have on the dvd though | 23:56 |
| john3voltas | Jordan_U, i need it for my company laptop where i am forced to use windows and prohibited to install/run linux | 23:57 |
| Jordan_U | john3voltas: grub2 can also be loaded from Windows's bootloader, though I'll admit the documentation for doing so is poor. | 23:57 |
| OerHeks | W1N9Zr0, sorry, i misread you have a issue with it | 23:57 |
| psusi | OerHeks, bios boots from a disk.... it knows nothing about lvm | 23:57 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, for your outgoing server, is smtp.gmail.com set to STARTTLS, Normal Password, and port 587? | 23:57 |
| MrGizmo757 | ok | 23:57 |
| MrGizmo757 | its currently on ssl/tls | 23:57 |
| john3voltas | Jordan_U, for me and for this particular case, grub2 is a 'no go' | 23:57 |
| MrGizmo757 | i change that and see | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | john3voltas: In fact Wubi uses grub2, and it sounds like Wubi might be an ideal solution for you (which is not something I say often :) | 23:58 |
| TomatoKetchup | change that | 23:58 |
| john3voltas | Jordan_U, i don't even know what a wubi is | 23:58 |
| psusi | Jordan_U, I could have sworn that wubi used grub4dos | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | psusi: It used to, before Ubuntu switched to grub2. | 23:59 |
| tujohnubu | !classic | 23:59 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 23:59 |
| MrGizmo757 | still getting the error | 23:59 |
| tujohnubu | !notunity | 23:59 |
| 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 | 23:59 |
| TomatoKetchup | MrGizmo757, yeah, well at least your smtp server is configured correctly now, lol ... odd I really can't find much on this problem | 23:59 |
| ring1 | psusi, i read in the future beginning with 12.10 there will be no image with cd size anymore. the image will grow up to 800 mb. the dvd and netinstall will of course stay | 23:59 |
