DarwinSurvivort-mart: for easier resizing, hold Alt and drag with the middle-mouse-button :)00:00
ClientAliveI don't have a system settings - I'm running minimal, so cli and editing files is my only options I think00:00
ClientAliveI have awesome window manager on there but even it is something that one configures with files (lua is what it uses)00:01
aot2002I 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
DarwinSurvivorClientAlive: if you are running minimal then suspend and hibernate should never happen automatically (unless you install the gnome power manager or something00:02
phunyguywhat is the easiest way to burn a .dmg image to DVD that is bootable in Ubuntu?00:02
ClientAliveahh. I see. I saw something called xscreensaver while googling. I do have xorg and xdm...   ?00:02
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: first the simple stuff: Have you tried toggling ALL the Fn+etc combos for mice? Some lenovo systems actually have *2* mouse-disable hotkeys00:03
aot2002Yes00:03
ClientAlivemaybe something like: "dpkg list | grep xscreensaver" would tell me if it's installed - is my command right tho?00:03
phunyguyor is it possible to make a bootable USB out of a .dmg00:03
aot2002Wait 2 mouse disable keys?00:03
n1ckn4me09876543hey, 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 ubuntu00:03
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: look up your model in http://www.thinkwiki.org/ I found this VERY, VERY informative when installing on my x22000:03
DarwinSurvivorClientAlive: yes, that should find it, but with minimal unless YOU installed it, it shouldn't be there :)00:04
DarwinSurvivorphunyguy: .dmg as in an Apple installer or .img as in a CD/USB image?00:05
phunyguy.dmg as an apple installer00:05
ClientAliveok. In that case, what would you look into next to isolate the source of the problem?00:05
phunyguyapple image anyway00:05
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: rare, but I do believe a couple models have it (one for touchpad, one for nib or something)00:05
phunyguyDarwinSurvivor**00:05
bobweaverHello 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
wawowen1ckn4me09876543: no00:05
ClientAlivethe awesome wm? But I though window managers had nothing to do with power saving or screen savers00:06
phunyguyhahaha, nice nickname, any relation to apple?00:06
aot2002Yes 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-martn1ckn4me09876543, are you behind a router? and if so, do you not trust your family?00:06
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: did you test the hardware with the pre-installed OS to rule out defective hardware?00:07
phunyguyaot2002: check your wireless switch on the side of the laptop00:07
aot2002Yes been working fine for over a year.00:07
phunyguy<--- t420 here00:07
aot2002Wifi is on00:07
DarwinSurvivorphunyguy: .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
aot2002I 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
phunyguyaot2002: press function f500:08
phunyguylol00:08
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: did they work when using the live-USB session?00:08
aot2002No00:09
ClientAliveI think it just did that crap to me again - I messes up my install00:09
n1ckn4me09876543wawowe: 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
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: yes, lenovo actually has TWO wireless enable functions. one is a switch, the other is Fn+F5 like phunyguy said00:09

krababbeln1ckn4me09876543: no, you don't need one if you trust everyone behind the router00:09
aot2002Yup both are enabled... Also dmesg does not report a mouse00:09
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: can you pastebin "lspci"?00:10
aot2002DarwinSurvivor: Since it's not on the net it's going to be a very rough time to get the output to pastebin.00:10
aot2002Also no mouse00:10
aot2002What are you looking for in lspci I can help find it.00:10
ooldirtyoh dear sweet jaysus.  this is like being at work.00:11
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: can you transport stuff via usb?00:11
aot2002Gigbit network connection from intel does show up00:11
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: any mention of the mouse or wireless card00:11
t-martn1ckn4me09876543, 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
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: ok, try using wired for the pastebin stuff00:11
=== brian__ is now known as brianfreud
aot2002Okay I see 6200 N for intel wifi so it sees it00:12
phunyguyDarwinSurvivor: FYI, my lspci shows no mouse or keyboard00:12
phunyguynor does lsusb00:12
aot2002lsusb shows the mouse I have plugged into the computer00:13
aot2002If I can get the mouse working then I can at least use wired to continue to debug.00:13
DarwinSurvivorphunyguy: mice and keyboards typically don't show up. they are normally actually usb devices (internal usb) and should show up in lsusb00:13
DarwinSurvivorphunyguy: oops, missed your next comment :(00:13
phunyguyi would imagine the hardware is similar between our laptops, mine is a t420, just 1 year newer00:13
phunyguy410 was last years00:14
DarwinSurvivorphunyguy: actually, they don't show up in my lsusb either (lenovo x220), so that test probably means nothing00:14
aot2002It does show up on my machine00:14
phunyguybuncha lenovo lovers here00:14
phunyguy:P00:14
aot2002:)00:14
phunyguyim a t420s actually.  the slim one00:14

phunyguyoh.. touchpad?00:15
aot2002I'm at a terminal and able to type00:15
aot2002Yup 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
phunyguyUSB root hub seems to not be working00:16
phunyguybut you said wifi is dead too00:16
aot2002Yes wifi dead too00:16
phunyguywhich narrows it down to PCI bus00:16
n1ckn4me09876543t-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
phunyguysomething really wonky going on with your laptop00:16
aot2002I wonder if the installation I used from this usb stick is crapped out?00:17
phunyguyit could be... try to recreate it...00:17
SeaPhorno. some lappys have a touchpad disable key/fn-key/or button00:17
phunyguymaybe try to redownload the iso, or make it with another method00:17
aot2002k00:17
phunyguyunetbootn works well00:17
phunyguydont have to download the iso with it00:17
phunyguyyou just tell it you want it to make a USB stick with Ubuntu 12.04 on it00:17
t-martn1ckn4me09876543, 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
n1ckn4me09876543t-mart: yes, but when it tries to get into my computer doesnt it mean they trying to connect to mine?00:19
phunyguyn1ckn4me09876543: thta is acceptable00:19
phunyguythat*00:20
DarwinSurvivoraot2002: if you reboot from the usb stick, chose the "Check disk for defects" that will tell you if the usb is bad00:20
phunyguycomputers do that..  like discovery.00:20
phunyguygood call.00:20
n1ckn4me09876543phunyguy: hmm ok00:20
t-martn1ckn4me09876543, not maliciously. it's likely network discovery chatter...other computers just trying to figure out what the network looks like00:20
OerHeksleto_, lenovo x1 is certified >> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7945/00:20
dimholtHey guys. A new Linux user here who needs help formatting my drive. It doesn't work... Can someone help me?00:20
phunyguydimholt: need a specific error00:21
leto_oh, that's good, thanks OerHeks00:21
ActionParsnipdimholt: use gparted00:21
dimholtphunyguy: 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
escottdimholt, how big is the disk?00:22
dimholtActionParsnip: allright, I'll check that out =) Thanks.00:22
dimholtescott: it's 300gb.00:22
OerHeksleto_, awesome specs00:23
Milos_SDHi00:23
dimholtBeen following this guide: http://www.ehow.com/how_1000631_hard-drive-linux.html00:23
leto_OerHeks: I'm looking at those new thinkpad x1 they just announced00:23
dimholtBut when I reboot, nothing has changed.00:24
Milos_SDis there a way to get my self a root access with rw on / partition in this new recovery console?00:24
escottdimholt, 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
escottMilos_SD, mount -o remount,rw /00:24
dimholtescott: 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
dimholtescott: one sec, I'll check the warning.00:26
psusidimholt, if you want to reinstall, then boot the installer... no need to use fdisk00:26
=== lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk
Milos_SDescott, thanks ... now I can restore my /etc/group file, that I exidently messed up :D00:27
dimholtpsusi: 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_SDand I don't have 64bit livecd/usb00:27
dimholtescott: 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
escottdimholt, 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 anyways00:29
dimholtescott: I figured, but it doesn't. I00:30
escottdimholt, 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
dimholtHmm, a few years.00:30
escottdimholt, that would likely rule out uefi (unless its a mac)00:31
dimholtOkay, don't know what uefi is =(00:31
dimholtI'ts not a Mac.00:31
dimholtGamin PC, few years old.00:31
dimholtAll 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
gr33n7007hdimholt, use dd00:34
escottdimholt, 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
dimholtJust "dd"?00:34
dimholtAight, I'll try that.00:34
escottdimholt, make sure /dev/sda is the correct device first00:35
dimholtYeah, it says "Device" on everything, makes me a bit confused.00:35
dimholtI have "/dev/sdb1"00:35
dimholtAnd I also have "/dev/sda1", "/dev/sda2" and "/dev/sda5"00:36
psusidimholt, what do you mean?  what happens when you boot the install disk?00:36
escottdimholt, sda is probably the internal hard drive and sdb is the probably the usb boot disk00:36
dimholtpsusi: Tbh, I'm not sure that it runs the boot disk, which confuses me a bit.00:36
dimholtI get the computer name as the user.00:37
dimholt"root@computername"00:37
psusidimholt, well you need to go into the bios and make sure it is set to boot from the install disk00:37
escottdimholt, are you removing the usb stick before trying to reboot?00:37
dimholtpsusi: Yeah, I'm sure I've got that right... Maybe I've accidentally formatted the boot disk?00:37
dimholtescott: no, it's there.00:38
psusidimholt, you have the bios set to boot from usb before the hard drive?00:38
dimholtIf it's not, I just get the black screen with the blinking caret, unable to type or anything.00:38
dimholtYesl00:38
dimholtI've even deactivated the hard drive to test.00:38
psusidimholt, then rebuild the boot disk00:38
escottdimholt, 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 device00:38
dimholtYeah, I better try that.00:38
dimholtOkay, sorry. I've been meaning the USB flash disk.00:39
dimholtI'll try rebuilding the USB booter.00:40
aot2002Phew new Live ubuntu 12 cd is working now.00:41

HareyJI'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
wawoweGermanaz0: download libapt-pkg4.12.deb and dpkg -i01:07
windbuntubefore 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

L3topwindbuntu: it is the driver itself that changed, and the version offered in this release. They drop support like flies.01:08
HareyJI did try using 2d Unity, made zero difference, still locks up.01:09
wawoweHareyJ: does it lockup if you sit at the login manager?01:09
windbuntuvery 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
windbuntuthe 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
HareyJwawowe:  Yes, it does in fact, the first time I turned it on it did that.01:11
wawoweHareyJ: can you ctrl+alt+f1 before it locks?01:11
HareyJwawowe: 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
wawoweHareyJ: switch to the console and do: tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log > new01:13
tyler_d>>01:13
HareyJwawowe: 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
wawoweHareyJ: then switch back and let it lockup then reboot01:13
wawoweHareyJ: are there any errors in the log?01:14
windbuntui am sure glad i am not a gamer01:14
L3topIf you were a gamer, you would have a different card.01:15
HareyJwawowe: Oh, I'm booted off the ubuntu 12.04 cd right now, I don't have a working stable OS on this laptop, sooo...   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 more01:15

Mike9863escott: Nothing about intel; yes it's a laptop01:46
escottMike9863, what kind of soundcard is it?01:46
Mike9863escott: Nevermind that; it does say intel HDA. Sorry. Here's the output: http://pastebin.com/vRraZprN01:47
escottMike9863, the joys of HDA sound. so a little background is in order01:47
escottMike9863, 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 configurations01:48
vltHello. 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
escottMike9863, 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 PIN01:49
wawowevlt: selinux, apparmor01:50
vltwawowe: hmmm, sounds complicated.01:51
escottMike9863, 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 on01:51

escottmenturi, 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 402:18

sunbirdanyone have wallpapers working on grub2? i _had_ it working under 10.04, but can't get it in 12.04.03:36
escottblackmatrix_ny, I would look into disabling your gpg and ssh agents then. should be fairly easy to do so03:37

goddarddr_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
escottblackmatrix_ny, its a secure keystore. its a lot better than having those applications insecurely implementing their own keystore03:38
omacthen: dhcient03:38
omacdhclient03:38
bluesnowomac: done03:38
dr_willisgoddard:  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-edge03:39

omacping google.ca03:40
escottblackmatrix_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 login03:40

dr_willis12.04 is working well for me. but ialways do clean installs03:41
escottblackmatrix_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

escottblackmatrix_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
goddarddr_willis: what about opt? and stuff you compile03:45
omacgn03:45
dr_willisgoddard:  i rarely compile stuff to opt, havent needed to in ages03:45
dr_willisyou can put /opt/ on its own partion if you wanted.. or back itup03:45
escottdj_segfault, iotop03:46
dj_segfaultescott: Thanks.  I'll try that oujt03:46
dr_willisi 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
goddarddr_willis: yeah a fresh install is good for that03:47
blackmatrix_nyescott...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_willisBe neat if Ubuntu coould save/sync your users home settings to your ubuntu one account. ;)03:47
dr_willisseen ways to set that up. but seems a bit unreliable.03:48
escottblackmatrix_ny, if those are your friends i wonder who your enemies are.03:48
Piotr2hello there. good evening everyone.03:48
goddarddr_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 on03:48
blackmatrix_nyescott, im actually going to try similar thing next time I sit on somebody elses ubuntu machine...that's just human nature03:49
escottblackmatrix_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
escottblackmatrix_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 strokes03:50
blackmatrix_nyescott, yea, now we are talking...so how do I go about putting the pwd on that seahorse thingy everytime it launches03:50

keltushi, when I log into my newly installed Ubuntu 12.04 through the GUI login screen, it just turns black with a cursor. 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
Piotr2Guys, I believe my hosts file is corrupted.03:51
menturiescott:  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
menturiSelecting the first item in the list I would guess is normally starting Ubuntu, which resulted in the first image again.03:51
blackmatrix_nyescott, btw, i'm one of the minorities who prefer better security than simple conveniences like pwd saver03:51
escottblackmatrix_ny, so this would be the relevant bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/18977403:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 189774 in seahorse (Ubuntu) "seahorse shows passwords without verification" [Wishlist,Triaged]03:52
Piotr2My brother, somehow, blocked some websites here and I thought I'd fixed it, but still I can't connect to ThePirateBay.03:52
Piotr2Can you tell me how could him do that so I can fix it?03:52
escottblackmatrix_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_nyescott, so just to confirm, currently the seahorse app doesn't provide that feature (verification) right ?03:54
blackmatrix_nyescott, haven't wrote a bug/feature request for Ubuntu before...just making sure...and thanks for helping out03:54
escottmenturi, 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
bohemian9485Piotr2: do you use a router?03:55
escottblackmatrix_ny, it was pushed upstream to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55103603:55
ubottuGnome bug 551036 in general "seahorse shows passwords without verification" [Normal,Unconfirmed]03:55
blackmatrix_nyescott, sorry...just seeing the link...somebody already has mentoned it :-)03:55
sarykeltus: 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
escottblackmatrix_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 that03:57
Flatlinedwireless question ! What does "iwconfig rate 1M auto" do ?03:58
blackmatrix_nyescott, 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
keltussary: 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
Phukuupyou mean everyone does not use biometrics?04:00
dr_willisgotta love it  when some trivial site demands you  use a 12+special characters password... just to keep your angrybirds scores... while the bank is ok with a much less paranoid password system04:00
escottblackmatrix_ny, what seems liberal about that?04:00
blackmatrix_nyescott, 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 eyes04:02
escottdr_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 minutes04:02
escottblackmatrix_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 passwords04:03
blackmatrix_nyescott, it's funny that the seahorse issue I mentioned was raised three years ago and seems nothing has been done so far04:03
escottblackmatrix_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 account04:04
celthunderescott: 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 month04:04
menturiescott:  im not sure how to start ubuntu modifying command line like i did previously off the cd.04:05
escottcelthunder, 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
escottmenturi, then menu will be different. should be listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub204:05

Phukuupdo this arp -A see if ya got an unidentified ip showing in there04:06
escottblackmatrix_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_nyescott, 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
sarykeltus: Do you happen to hae the same exact Graphic card chip as that person's machine.04:07
blackmatrix_nyescott, lol...ok04:07

neo31hello 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 run04:55
dr_willisiptables service? thought that was part of the default firewalling features04:56
dr_willis!info iptables04:56
ubottuiptables (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 kB04:56
neo31I had ufw and I have removed it to install iptables04:56
dr_willislast i looked ufw used the iptables tools.... but i dont do firewalling much04:57
celthundermitchell: anything but unreal should be fine04:57
dr_willisiptables 'is standard' - that means its installed by default?04:57
aot2002dr_willis, yup04:57
neo31I just need to have something like /etc/init.d/iptables04:57
aot2002ufw just adds rules in iptables04:58
neo31humm04:58
aot2002neo31, Are you just trying to make sure it's running?04:58
dr_willisand iptables runs automatically if any rules exist... i thought04:58
dr_willismy router does all my firewalling these days. ;) im lazy04:58
aot2002dr_willis, you can take the firewall down04:58
neo31yes aot200204:59
dr_willissudo iptables --list        i recall shows any current firewall rules..04:59
mitchellI'm finding SSL is not easy to include nor setup for a Ubuntu based IRCD regardless of their ad's and descriptions celthunder04:59
neo31fine04:59
celthunderdr_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 packages05:00
neo31it's running already05:00
dr_willis'if iptables is running with no rules... is it really running..'  how 'zen' ;)05:00
celthundermitchell: ratbox ircu and ng probably support ssl05:01
Phukuupholy cr** it was stuck waiting for me to restart stuff05:01
celthunderdr_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 default05:02
mitchellI haven't tried ratbox yet celthunder, setup celsomething but can't get the SSL to enable on it either :(05:02
celthundermitchell: ok where did you get your ssl cert from and whats the issue with it05:02
celthunderrather than saying it doesnt work what about it doesnt work05:03
mitchellcelthunder, sadly hybrid-ircd got into a 'discussion' over licensing with openssl and stopped compiling the packages with it enabled05:03
mitchellcelthunder it's a lot more than just compiling the cert's and keys but yes I've done those several times in different directorys celthunder05:03
Phukuupumm 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 that05:03
aot2002Phukuup, nice05:04
PhukuupI would still be waiting05:04
mitchellthe 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 files05:04
celthundermitchell: what happens when you try whats the error05:05
celthundermitchell: make it listen with ssl and give the error05:05
mitchellsorry celthunder, I can't find the exact SSL error as I'm currently on another box05:07
PhukuupI hope all these errors I am seeing in terminal are fixed before restart or my goose is gonna be cooked05:09
celthunderPhukuup: lol errors for what? make/configure?05:11
celthunderPhukuup: i would be more worried at not seeing make/configure error.05:12
celthunderas long as its not fatal it probably isnt too important05:12

lmaowafflehi 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:nocaps06:21
alusionyup I got the VLC, ima just load up the files on a external and try playing from there then06:21
lmaowafflethe command works manually after X starts at a terminal06:22
lmaowafflethe rest of .xinitrc loads fine at X startup06:22
dr_willisi thought the .xinitrc only  gotr read if you  used  the 'custom' X session from lightdm06:22
lmaowaffledr_willis: I have symlinks setup06:23
dr_willissetup for what. You could use the .config/autostart (or was it autorun) directory06:23
lmaowafflei forget the symlink.. .xsession perhaps?06:24
dr_willisi thought the gnome keyboard config tool had settings for those also. could be its overrideing them06:24
lmaowafflesomething I gleaned from an ubuntu tut06:24
lmaowafflei'll investigate that06:24
dr_willisI 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_willisie:  they dont get ran 'in in addation to' the normal desktop06:25
lmaowafflei neglected to mention that I'm using slim (again, from tut)06:28
lmaowafflethat might make it easier for you to digest ;)06:28
dr_willisif 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 want06:29
dr_willisi 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 .xinitrc06:30
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 dir06:31

Anarhisthi, 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 nothing07:35
krababbelbackyards01: don't expect speed I heard too, throughput is said to be low. Nicely stable for sure.07:35

ryannathansI want to stream whatever audio played from the ubuntu machine to come out of windows speakers08:39
anandjeyaharcan 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
DarwinSurvivorLarsN: he is trying to stream the audio portion of youtube videos08:39
DarwinSurvivorryannathans: do you want ALL audio to be streamed, or just some applications?08:39
LarsNDarwinSurvivor: those apps will stream whatever normally leaves the speakers on the *nix host over the network.08:40
ryannathansall08:40
hironakamuranot sure if that was helpful08:40
DarwinSurvivorLarsN: Oh, didn't know that. I've only used them with mpd :P08:40
hironakamuraim trying to connect externally to the server08:40
ryannathansLarsN: what's the latency like?08:40
llutz_hironakamura: its bound to localhost only, change config08:40
LarsNhironakamura: it looks like it's listening on 213.232.93.3:6667 as well as localhost:666708:40
ryannathansI have a 10 gigabit/s connection between machines08:40
LarsNis that your public address?08:40
codekKnah i make new user and same, the power button is like a mechanism08:40
codekK:S08:40
hironakamuraso edit the ircd-hybrid conf file?08:40
DarwinSurvivorryannathans: what is the physical distance between them?08:41
ryannathans50cm08:41
llutz_LarsN: "..198.101.193.204:44130   213.232.93.3:6667       ESTABLISHED"  is an OUTBOUND conenction (his freenode coneection i guess)08:41
anandjeyaharhere's the config file http://dpaste.com/749257/08:41
llutz_hironakamura: yes08:41
LarsNllutz_: yeah, your right.08:41
mitchellthat's via his router isn't it llutz_ ?08:41
hironakamurallutz_ ok08:41
DarwinSurvivorryannathans: 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 :D08:41
DarwinSurvivorryannathans: that will also eliminate lagg due to buffering!08:42
ryannathansDarwinSurvivor: you can do that?08:42
llutz_mitchell: why?08:42
LarsNmitchell: so correcting myself I think your ircd is only listening on localhost from what I saw.08:42
ryannathansDarwinSurvivor: hmm, do like.08:42
ryannathansbrb, finding one08:42
LarsNryannathans: I don't remember it being fantastic latency wise.08:42
codekKWhy my power button is like a mechanism???????08:42
DarwinSurvivorryannathans: yes. alteratively, you could buy a mixer, but that will probably cost more08:42
DarwinSurvivorryannathans: make sure you use the line-in and not the microphone port!08:42
LarsNryannathans: 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
hironakamurawhcih file should i be editing08:42
LarsNbecause ^^ would be my solution08:42

hironakamurallutz ok thanks08:44
HeartbeatsHi08:44
Heartbeatsare there actually people here who work on the dev of ubuntu?08:44
DarwinSurvivorHeartbeats: 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 together08:45
LarsNHeartbeats:  I'm sure the answer is yes.  IIRC I contributed a one line patch about 8 years ago, that counts technically speaking08:45
ryannathansbrb, need to relog08:45
DarwinSurvivorryannathans: ok08:45
Heartbeatsi see08:45
Heartbeatsokay08:45
DarwinSurvivorHeartbeats: do you have a specific question?08:46
HeartbeatsSo, i converted over to ubuntu a few months ago08:46
Heartbeatsyea08:46
Heartbeatsmy camera is not supported08:46
Heartbeatsim working on an hp laptop08:46
yossi1hello, 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 GUI08:46
Heartbeatsthere are no linux drivers for it on the hp websit08:46
Heartbeatse08:46
Heartbeatsso i'm wondering who to speak to08:47
Heartbeatsand what buttons to push08:47
DarwinSurvivorHeartbeats: can you use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste the outputs of "lspci" and "lsusb"?08:47
yossi1i can compare settings files between the 2 computers if i just knew what files those were08:47
L3top!enter | Heartbeats08:47
ubottuHeartbeats: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!08:47
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: have you tried the cups web interface? *absolutely* amazingly useful for headless servers!08:48
LarsNHeartbeats: what's lsusb tell you the device is?08:48
LarsNHeartbeats:  mine for instance is " Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd " which I admit to have never bothered messing with because I find webcams silly :)08:48
yossi1DarwinSurvivor, how can i do that if the machine is headless?08:48
LarsNbut I understand folks who want them to work.08:48
Heartbeatsright okay srry bought that DarwinSurvivor, and, LarsN, lemme check08:49
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: you use *another* computer to connect to the server's web interface.08:49
codekKWhy my power button is like a mechanism??????? i try with other users and same problem :s08:49
yossi1so <ipofserver>:631 ?08:50
yossi1that does not work08:50
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: 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 connect08:50
sk1specialr kid with this problem yesterday. my cube is flat..like..its a rotating page. how do i make it a actual cube08:50
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: you may need to enable it (or it may be bound to localhost only)08:50
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: stupid question, but why do you need to use a server to print to a network printer...?08:51
ziptwice a year an ubuntu update means tice a year a destroyed printer config for me :l08:51
yossi1llutz, is that config part of cups or some firewall?08:51
llutz_yossi1: ssh -L 8631:localhost:631 user@yourhostwithcups08:51
llutz_yossi1: cups config08:51
LarsNzip: in part, blame apple.  That always makes me feel better.08:51
yossi1DarwinSurvivor, because i want the server to run a cronjob that grabs print jobs that get emailed to it08:51
llutz_yossi1: after establishing tunnel, "browse localhost:8631"08:52
ryannathansWOO08:52
ryannathans\o/08:52
ryannathansgreat success08:52
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: 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
LarsNryannathans: DarwinSurvivor gets the credit.  he came up with the idea first :)08:52
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: oh, ok08:53
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: what type of printer is it?08:53
LarsNryannathans: is the problem you just solved "I have two computers, but only one set of speakers?"08:53
yossi1canon mx80008:53
ryannathansNo08:53
ryannathansLarsN: well, almots08:53
DarwinSurvivorryannathans: nothing like solving a software problem with hardware :D08:53
ryannathansLarsN: two computers, linux one runs my raid array via infiniband directly into the windows machine. I got multidesktopping workin with synergy08:54
LarsNDarwinSurvivor: almost as good as solving a hardware problem with software.08:54
ryannathansnow I have audio \o/08:54
yossi1oh good. i got to the CUPS web panel thing.08:54
ryannathansonly one problem left08:54
ryannathansstupid broken packages I can't fix when installing any media player08:55
LarsNryannathans:  one of the computers runs windows?08:55
ryannathansyeah08:55
LarsN**snicker08:55
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: can you send a link to the product page? I can't even find it on canon's website!08:55
ryannathansLarsN: I'm force to. Astrophotography processing software only works on windows08:55
LarsNI have a work issued windows 7 machine.  which wouldn't be terrible if I didn't work for a large OpenStack based public cloud company08:56
yossi1DarwinSurvivor, http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx882?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware08:57
LarsN"I use windows, to manage a metric $#$@ load of ubuntu nodes"08:57
LarsN:)08:57
yossi1something like that08:57
ryannathanshah08:57
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: just for fun, can you run "nmap ip_of_printer"?08:58
sk1specialanyone know how to make my compiz cube a cube instead of a flat page?08:58
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: my HP printer at home (ethernet) accepts document printing via ftp, that may be easier if your printer supports it08:58
LarsNme doesn't have anything with enough graphics card to run compiz08:58
DarwinSurvivorsk1special: have you played around in ccsm?08:58
yossi1let me just install nmap first08:59
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: ok08:59
LarsNI'm so glad my only printer is a well supporter laserjet 4000n.08:59
LarsNit's one of the few things I can happily say "just works" around here :)08:59
LarsNs/supporter/supported.08:59
sk1specialno im super new to ubuntu. ive just installed then enabled the cube and the rotate / disabled the wall08:59
shaibnHello :) 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 s08:59
shaibnoftware raid if it doesn't exist and I'm on a liveCD running a chrooted environment. Help :) ?08:59
hayden_rusk1special, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager08:59
sk1specialand it works as far as..a thing that rotates. but it wont show as a cube just like..a flat page09:00
hayden_rusk1special, you need to rebind a button for it i think09:00
hayden_rusk1special, look for bindings in cube settings09:00
Fudgeanyone know how to enable accessibility in xubuntu-dev 4.1009:01
nicdoes 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 installed09:01
sk1specialhow do i get to cube settings? and it does * rotate * via cntrl/alt/arrow keys. its just flat instead of cubey09:01
yossi1DarwinSurvivor, http://pastebin.com/UtpH2J6u09:02
LarsNshaibn: you're basically trying to start from scratch now?09:02
hayden_rusk1special, click on it in ccsm it will open settings09:02
shaibnLarsN, sort of ...09:02
shaibnLarsN, I just want grub to work .. and boot my vm09:02
HeartbeatsLarsN: it's Feiya Technology Corp09:03
HeartbeatsI am on their website right now09:03
shaibnLarsN, 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 again09:03
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: darn, well it was worth a shot. best go with the cups web-interface then09:03
LarsNHeartbeats: google search "Feiya Technology corp" "ubuntu"09:03
LarsNHeartbeats: is usually my starting point for things like this  at least09:04
codekKWhy my power button is like a mechanism??????? i try with other users and same problem :s09:04
HeartbeatsLarsN: okay09:04
yossi1yeah. i seem to be getting somewhere with the web interface09:04
LarsNshaibn: have you looked at "man grub-install"09:04
shaibnLarsN, lets start by understanding why update-grub updated the menu.list with md0 and not sda209:04
DarwinSurvivorcodekK: please elaborate, what do you mean by "mechanism"?!?09:04
shaibnLarsN, I've looked everywhere .. yes .. still haven't found my solution ...09:05
kapzWhen I start Transmission either through gnome menu or terminal it does not show it's window...ubuntu 12.0409:05
sk1specialthe only key options is for unfolding the cube.09:05
llutz_shaibn: shouldn't "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-legacy" work?09:05
LarsNshaibn: as far as I can tell, grub-update is a grub (not grub2) utility09:05
* ekv Hi all09:05
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: is the web interface working for you? i use it fairly regularly so I can help you out with it if you need09:06
LarsNshaibn: which means it's possible it picked up on an old mbr, rather than a newer gpt entry?  (just a theory atm)09:06
yossi1oh, wait, no. the web interface i got to was actually to the local CUPS not the one on the server :(09:06
shaibnLarsN, 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
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: oh, lol09:06
yossi1the tunnel didnt work09:06
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: ok, first of all, is cups running*/09:06
sk1specialive 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 box09:06
yossi1how do i double check?09:07
codekKDarwinSurvivor, a gear!09:07
shaibnLarsN, 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 network09:07
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: what did you run to make your tunnel?09:07
codekKDarwinSurvivor, a gear! Like when you have pending restart after update09:07
DarwinSurvivorcodekK: do you mean the button in the top-right corner? it's *supposed* to look like that!09:07
codekKYes09:08
nicor, how do i turn off the automatic full screen when a window touches the top bar?09:08
DarwinSurvivorcodekK: please post a screenshot if you think it's the wrong icon09:08
LarsNshaibn: since I clearly didn't follow the problem correctly :)  I'll ask a couple quick questions to hopefully get caught back up.09:08
codekKok second09:08
yossi1ssh -L 8631:localhost:631 yossi@ubuntu209:08
yossi1and i already see what i did wrong :P09:08
yossi1i went to :631 instead of :863109:08
LarsNshaibn: so the bare metal server is running ubuntu, with vmware server?09:08
shaibnLarsN, no09:09
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: ok, and you connected to localhost:8631 not localhost:631 right?09:09
shaibnLarsN, I have a very old bare metal server running an old ubuntu dist ... which is working fine.09:09
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: lol09:09
yossi1yeah, i did that now09:09
=== LKJ_ is now known as Guest89319
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: did it work?09:09
LarsNok, old server, working fine.09:09
yossi1looks like it is, it discovered the printer09:09
shaibnLarsN, 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 filesystem09:10
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: cool09:10
shaibnLarsN, old server works fine, and using grub-legacy09:10
shaibnLarsN, 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
shaibnLarsN, then I wanted to install grub-legacy and get it running ..09:10
yossi1in the printers tab under status is says "Idle - "/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtops failed""09:11
shaibnLarsN, 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 grub109:12
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: 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
yossi1i got that ip from the router09:12
LarsNshaibn: so at this point the VM is still running the live-cd correct?09:12
LarsNwith 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 have09:13
shaibnLarsN, yes. And I've made sure it has grub 0.97 installed on it.09:13
shaibnand I'm chrooted into the mounted environment09:13
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 home09:13
LarsNshaibn: so worst case, you should be able to use "grub" and at the grub > root (hd1,0) or hd(0,0)  ///09:13
LarsNI always get it wrong the first time around.09:13
shaibnLarsN, that didn't work09:13
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: make sure you set up a static ip on the printer or you may find that one day it just "stops working"09:13
yossi1it would need to "start" working first :P09:14
codekKDarwinSurvivor, here a link http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7162/capturadepantallade2012.png09:14
LarsNshaibn:  you finished with:  grub > setup (hd0)09:15
LarsN?09:15
yossi1also, the dhcp server in my router gives very long leases, so it's unlikley to change09:15
yossi1could still happen though09:15
* LarsN spent too many years in BSD land. Grub is confusing :)09:15
shaibnLarsN, a moment please09:16
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: 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
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: 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
LarsNDarwinSurvivor: I setup static reservations for all the machines in the house with cat-6 cables.  wifi devices can use whatever's available.09:18
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: if you have a computer set up that works already, compare the settings (especially which driver you used) to see if they are the same09:18
yossi1where are the settings stored?09:18
LarsNit's nice to just leave everything set for DHCP, but know what IP the desktops/printers/etc are going to get.09:18
DarwinSurvivorLarsN: our household has 4 laptops, so I gave them all statics as well09:19
LarsNI never connect to the laptops from anywhere else.09:19
llutz_DarwinSurvivor: you seem to have too much time ;)09:19
fran_irc.freenode.net09:19
LarsNusually put things on the zfs based storage server, and/or get them from there.09:19
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: if you go to "administration -> manage printers -> your printer" it should list all the driver info09:19
DarwinSurvivoryossi1: you should open the working machine's web-interface as well, then you can compare the settings directly09:20
DarwinSurvivorllutz_: because I'm in here or because I static-IP all my machines?09:20
llutz_DarwinSurvivor: the latter ;)09:21
Jordan_Ushaibn: LarsN: Ubuntu uses grub2. Installing grub legacy is *not* what you want to do (but it's what you're currently doing).09:22
LarsNJordan_U: I'm not doing anything with grub.  :)09:22
=== onats_ is now known as onats
=== zip is now known as unzip
LarsNJordan_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
DarwinSurvivorllutz_: 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
LarsNDarwinSurvivor: dhcp with MAC based reservations is easier :)09:23
LarsNmakes moving the entire network to say 172.16.28 from 192.168.0 faster  too :)09:24
DarwinSurvivorllutz_: for ip in a_list_of_other_ips ; do echo my_hostname my_static_ip | ssh $ip "sudo tee -a /etc/hosts"; done09:24
llutz_DarwinSurvivor: needs all computers running at this time etc.pp. anyways, different people, different ways to handle a task09:25
Jordan_Ushaibn: What version of Ubuntu are you using?09:25
DarwinSurvivorllutz_: meh, works for me and I can swap out routers in a flash now09:25
LarsN<--- gets hostnames with "nmap -sP 172.16.28.0/24" since it does a reverse dns lookup for me :)09:26
LarsNI can't be bothered to remember what my wife named her machines :)09:27
athrunhello09:27
hariomI 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 test09:29
TRaxxhi Guys can anybody tell  me where i can find libuclibc-dev and uclibc-toolchain for 10.409:29
ikoniaTRaxx: if they exist, they are in the repos09:30
TRaxxI looked and cant find them for 10.04 andly hardy09:30
hariomFor minimal GUI, some time back someone suggested to try: xdm, gnome-core and xorg. How to ensure audio also works09:30
iceroothariom: install the xserver and pulseaudio09:30
troulouliou_devhi i have real problem with flash on firefox , the videos are blue  and all the window begind any flash application are some kind of trasparent09:30
ikoniaTRaxx: then they are not there09:30
hariomiceroot: is xserver for gui?09:30
troulouliou_devanybody aware of this situation i m on 12.04 with medibuntu09:30
TRaxxikonia, oke09:31
ikoniatroulouliou_dev: a few people have reported that bug, if you are installing from medibuntu - contact medibuntu for support of their repos09:31
iceroothariom: yes09:31
iceroothariom: it is the gui itself without a real desktop environment09:31
DarwinSurvivorikonia: is that a medibuntu-specific bug?09:31
ikoniaDarwinSurvivor: the people I've seen report it have been pulling packages from medibuntu, I've not seen anyone having a problem pulling flash from main09:31
troulouliou_devikonia, ok09:32
ikoniaDarwinSurvivor: that could be a co-incidence, but I don't know09:32
DarwinSurvivorikonia: that explains a LOT!09:32
TRaxxikonia, any idea where i could find them besides the repo09:32
ikoniaTRaxx: if they exist, they are in the repo09:32
ikoniaTRaxx: you should not be pulling them or trying to pull them from anywhere else09:32
Jordan_Uikonia: I was getting that bug, without medibuntu.09:32
ikoniaDarwinSurvivor: there you go, Jordan_U has the issue without the medibuntu repo09:33
ikoniaJordan_U: you are the first I've seen09:33
HackerIIum, 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_devwhat 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
DarwinSurvivorwell, there goes that theory09:33

Jordan_Utroulouliou_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

DocPlatypusJust 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
krababbeltroulouliou_dev: I'd guess an older flash version would work09:37
Jordan_Utroulouliou_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

troulouliou_devkrababbel, 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

terohi 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
HackerIIi said it was ALL packages09:45
HackerIIthat said it09:45
DarwinSurvivorHackerII: 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 overriding09:45
HackerIIooo09:45
HackerIIi c now09:45
HackerIIi owe u coffee09:45
DocPlatypuskrababbel: it is, but a device manufacturer can do unencrypted HDMI if they so choose09:46
DarwinSurvivorHackerII: a PPA is litteraly a 3rd party repository09:46
HackerIIi c now, thanks09:46
DarwinSurvivorHackerII: no problem09:46
DarwinSurvivortero: what is the target use of the system (web server, media streamer, torrent box, etc)?09:46
krababbelDocPlatypus: yes, but still it's just dvi in a different format I read. Expensive long cables because of the properties.09:47
HackerIIboy, 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 click09:47
HackerIIi done09:48
teroDarwinSurvivor 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 error09:48
teroso the easiest methos(if is it even possible) is just to remove the x09:48
DocPlatypusmaybe 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
HackerIIok im out, take care folks09:50
DarwinSurvivorlusuhard_: could you please re-phrase your question? the original didn't make a lot of sense (from a technical standpoint)09:51

codekKhello 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 gi09:53
DarwinSurvivorlusuhard_: 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 format09:55

lusuhard_I have asus transformer tablet version 10109:57
codekKHow i can set the top bar at new look like gnome3 ????09:58
DarwinSurvivorcodekK: you could use gnome-shell09:58
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 10109:58
codekKDarwinSurvivor, with classic gnome cant have the new style of bar? (dark bar)09:59
DJoneslusuhard_: I've looked at putting Ubuntu on my transformer prime, but the comments I've read say that running it via VNC is very slow10:00
Mikey^codekK: you could set the color you want in properties of gnome-panel10:00
lusuhard_DJones, do you have any solution?10:00
codekKMikey^, where is properties of gnome-panel?10:00
DJoneslusuhard_: Sorry I don't, thats whats put me off trying it10:01
Mikey^codekK: you are  using gnome 2 or gnome classic ?10:01

svis 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

codekKMikey^, but cinammon is a other Desktop enviornment no?10:03
DarwinSurvivorsv: 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 classic10:03
DarwinSurvivorlusuhard_: My guess is it's either VNC being slow or the fact that you are running 2 OS's on 1GB of ram10:03

DJoneslusuhard_: 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
codekKI know it10:04
DarwinSurvivorsv: sorry, ?!? should have been for jaunty. Which has been EOL since 201010:04
codekKbut i dont understand, why i dont have a default bar :S10:04
svDarwinSurvivor, or tell me, how to go to precise10:04
sv;p10:04
svahh10:04
DarwinSurvivorsv: 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
codekKsv, to update i think do-release-upgrade -d10:05
codekKMikey^, yes i have the two panels10:05
Mikey^ok10:05
codekKbut with grey color like gnome210:05
DarwinSurvivorcodekK: 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

svDarwinSurvivor, thx10:06
DarwinSurvivorsv: 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 possible10:06
DJoneslusuhard_: 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 ask10:07
lusuhard_ok then, let's open a thread if there isn't10:07
DocPlatypusDarwinSurvivor: 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
DarwinSurvivorcodekK: ok, 2 questions: what version did you install to begin with (the *original* install) and what version are you running now?10:08
codekKFirst i do a upgrade from 10.04 but i have a lot of issues then i do a clean install10:08
codekK12.04 from Alternate 64bits10:08
DarwinSurvivorlusuhard_: I *think* you can go LTS to LTS, but his version and the next are both EOL and neither is LTS10:08
codekKI fix the problems with nVidia graphics10:09
codekKand now i have this problems10:09
codekKI update from 10.04 to 12.04 only for new dark panel gnome3 and i dont have it :S :(10:09

DarwinSurvivorcodekK: 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

Athenoniceroot:  May 17 04:54:53 subaru sshd[7969]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for CENSORED [CENSORED] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!10:24
icerootAthenon: ah ok10:25
ohad_hello10:25
Athenoniceroot:  wait, that's unrelated actually.10:25
sirlarkI 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 share10:25
icerootAthenon: yes you are using su - username and pam is trying to identify the user which is coming from ssh and wants to resolv the user10:25
Athenoniceroot:  that's a different login attempt via sftp.  heh.10:25
icerootAthenon: ok10:25
Athenoniceroot:  still though, im stumped.  syslog doesnt show anything, auth.log doesnt show anything, etc10:26
icerootAthenon: maybe you can use "ssh -vvv user@host  and then try your su - username10:26
Athenoniceroot:  regular logins (using ldap users) are not slow, so it shouldnt be ldap methinks10:26
codekKMikey^, its installe i go to relogin10:26
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
icerootAthenon: maybe ssh is the reason and you will get some usefull infos10:26
icerootAthenon: only passwd users?10:27
icerootAthenon: you have kerberos?10:27
DarwinSurvivorohad_: did you try them both from the login screen, the lock screen, or both?10:27
Athenoniceroot:  passwd and ldap users login at the same speed in all cases10:27
ohad_both from lock screen10:27
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
DarwinSurvivorohad_: *important note*: the login screen uses the system's keyboard layout, the lock screen uses that user's keyboard layout10:27
DarwinSurvivorohad_: just a sec10:28
Athenoniceroot:  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 screen10:29
icerootAthenon: strace su - username  mayb you can see some loops10:29
DarwinSurvivorohad_: does your password by any chance only use characters that are the same in both layouts...?10:29
DarwinSurvivorohad_: 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
ServerCrashhi 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 screen10:30
Athenoniceroot:  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 password10:30
ServerCrashwhat happens currently if i remove screen1 and reboot, then screen 2 becomes screen110:30
Athenoniceroot:  (timeout) appears as soon as the hanging stops10:30
codekKMikey^, thanks a lot !!!ç10:30
icerootAthenon: then its trying to reach something in that hanging-time10:31
codekKI just install gnome-tweak-tool and the new theme is installed !10:31
Mikey^codekK: Good!10:31
codekKThanks u too DarwinSurvivor  :)10:31
ohad_I can switch between languages in the lock screen, choosing between en and he.10:31
icerootAthenon: but the question is, what is it trying to reach...10:31
codekKand the other question, is normal to get a "power" button like a gear?10:32
DarwinSurvivorohad_: ok, and if you leave it on one of the languages, can you type your password either way for it to work?10:32

codekKOk10:32
codekKthanks10:32
codekKand sorry for being so heavy10:32
icerootdavid: for security reasons? like?10:33
obscurant1stis 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
davidsecurity reasons viz running vpn services on a ubuntu client10:34
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 work10:34
icerootdavid: and what is the security issue?10:34
davidthe rsa will authenticate the ubuntu client based on the name of the cryptdevice10:35
obscurant1stMikey^: yes its there. But I would like to know if there is any command as such :)10:35
icerootdavid: you design that concept?10:36
davidyes10:36
DarwinSurvivorohad_: 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 it10:36
icerootdavid: sorry but that is absolute stupid10:36
obscurant1stAnd 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
icerootdavid: use a normal private/public ndesign10:37
davidwhy , 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_crypt10:37
icerootdavid: key10:37
ohad_Do I need to be a registered user at launchpad for that?10:37
davidso that only authorized ubuntu clients can connect using rsa10:37
Mikey^obscurant1st: sudo add-apt-repository --remove repo10:38
DarwinSurvivorohad_: 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 to10:38
obscurant1stoh ok, thanks Mikey^  :D10:38
davidi already have a mechanism for authentication in place based on the crypt device name10:38
Mikey^obscurant1st: I googled it. I also learnt something :) I usually just use rm10:39
ohad_will my account in ubuntu forums work for launchpad?10:39
=== Youri is now known as Iruoy
icerootdavid: 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
davidyes10:39
DarwinSurvivorohad_: I think so, they converted a bunch of them to OpenID, so I think it is all one account now10:39
obscurant1stMikey^: I tryioed google, but didn't find! Obviously you're a better googler than I am.10:39
Mikey^:)10:39
davidiceroot : yes10:40
ohad_great! I'll do it after I restart so I will check it again10:40
davidiceroot : i think you got my point10:40
icerootdavid: i dont see the reason to use the device-name first10:40
obscurant1stbtw 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
icerootdavid: its the same a a macfilter, absolute useless10:40
Mikey^obscurant1st: no..10:40
icerootdavid: just use a save mathod for authentication10:40
obscurant1st:/10:41
Mikey^obscurant1st: you could use curl, I guess.. and try to do it10:41
DarwinSurvivorobscurant1st: not that I know of10:41
davidbut is there a way to change the crypt device name , since i dont want to go back on code review on my authentication system10:41
obscurant1stMikey^: there is script which uses dropbox to do it! I could give it a try! :)10:42
obscurant1stDarwinSurvivor: ^^10:42
Mikey^Neat10:42
icerootdavid: with dm-crypt yes10:43
davidiceroot : please advice how do i do that10:43
icerootdavid: you have a raid/lvm or plain /dev/sdX encryption?10:44
davidlvm10:44
Osakasaobscurant1st, you can with shutter take a screenshot, upload (e.g. with ubuntuone) and copy the uploaded url.10:44
Athenoniceroot:  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 it10:44
davidlvm encryption10:44
obscurant1stOsakasa: Yeah I tried shutter, but its not what I am lllllllllllllllooking for! :/10:45
davidin cryptsetup , there is no way to rename the device name , apart from creating or remove10:45
Osakasaok :/10:45
obscurant1stooops* sorry for the repeated ls10:45
Linuxsapienok thats that sorted10:45
icerootdavid: then you can even start to give your lvm a different name10:45

DarwinSurvivorphanimahesh: 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 application11:03

jribMischinka: 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_willisi wonder what the TIME+ Colum means in htop. its showing X at 2x the time tht compiz has used.11:33

hariomIs it possible that without running/installing GUI on the server (due to vulnarabilities and performance degradation of the server), from remote end I can access the server in GUI mode whenever I need to configure something that is better in GUI mode than command mode?12:03
=== Youri is now known as Iruoy
wadkarMonkeyDust: sweet! thanks, I'll give it a go; I am comfortable using any utility on linux, but not so much on Windows, if you have used bcrypt on Windows, will you comment on its usage? (I ask, because others will be using it on windows)12:03
lollisoftOk, I'll stop my ubuntu trialy today. I'll need to investigate more research...12:04
lollisoftThanks all - bye12:04
drussellhariom: not really, you would at least to have the gui software installed on the remote server, then you could use ssh and X forwarding to get gui applications to appear on your workstation from the server, but they'd still need to be installed12:06
drussellhariom: I'd recommend you learn the commandline tools12:06
drussellhariom: or depending on what you need to do a web based control panel or similar12:06
jribhariom: I agree with drussell.  Can you give an example where you believe you would prefer to use the gui?12:07
fdfdswhy scripts that contain "#!/bin/sh" are executed in a different way depending they are whether started like ./script.sh and 'sh script.sh"12:07
jribfdfds: in what different way?12:07
RFrith~12:07
jribfdfds: never mind, I missed your previous response12:07
wadkarumm, looks like bcrypt wont fit into my use case. I will have to copy/write out decrypted file to some place, which would be cumbersome to do everytime, moreover, I may not have space/write access on the host machine, is there something which can do this on the fly? (like ssh communication is encrypted with your key/passphrase)12:08
jribfdfds: can you pastebin you running it each way?12:09
cgi101im having problems with the dualboot win7/ubuntu12.04, after instal i got to the ubuntu login but i cant move my mous or keybeord12:10
fdfdsjrib: the result or what?12:11
jribfdfds: yeah12:13
jribfdfds: and if you don't mind pastebinning the script, that's easier than having it in scrollback12:13
ihipopFloodBot1:test12:14
jribfdfds: also I don't know the answer offhand, but you might try to see if the same thing happens using bash (and the corresponding shebang line).  If it does, then #bash may have a quicker answer for you.  I don't mind investigating here though12:14

SidewinderT_A_N_K, Everything?12:21
KM0201Gyro54: negative12:21
Dr_willisGyro54,  12.04 has gnome3 and  you can use gnome-shell12:21

morsnowskiGyro54, you can reinstall gnome very easily12:22
Dr_willisGyro54,  i did not think gnome-shell was reliable on 11.1012:22

Orpheonhow do I get the multilib nvidia driver? (sorry for repeat)15:47
quixotedoncgi101: 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 install15:47
theadmintyler_d: That's not recursive, but yeah, that works too15:47
Mrokiiringzer0: Though there may still be some config files somewhere in your home folder. Not sure.15:48
tyler_dtheadmin: wouldn't --->  ls -1 | xargs chmod -R 655 be simpler?15:48
tyler_dtheadmin: ahh no you're right15:48

alo21_theadmin: could you tell me how, please?15:57
ForSparePartsDoes anyone know of a way to get a keyboard-focused (sort of Unity-like) start menu in Gnome Classic?15:58
theadminalo21_: 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 systemwide15:58
ForSparePartsFor the most part I like Gnome Classic a LOT better, but having to click and search through the menu hierarchy frustrates me...15:58
theadminForSpareParts: Try dmenu, gnome-do or launchy15:59

DanielConvissoryes, "/dev/xvdb" exists16:00
Dr_willisForSpareParts,  notice the icons at the top right of the unity desktop? thats the indicator-applet area. gnome-shell has a similer area.16:00
DeadLock74633896Mrokii: Can I access the Debian usb-modeswitch package from the LiveCD, because I use mobile broadband16:00
theadminDr_willis: That's not what (s)he wants -- (s)he has classic gnome but wants a Unity-style menu of some sort.16:00
ForSparePartsDr_willis: yeah, theadmin's got it.16:00
Dr_willisForSpareParts,  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
KarpuzKabuguhi everybody16:00
MrokiiDeadLock74633896: 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_willisclassic 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
ForSparePartsDr_willis: Maybe I wasn't totally clear: I want a menu like Unity, but like, nothing else from Unity.16:01
Dr_willisawn also has a nice classic style menu you can use.16:01
winehi all16:01
Dr_willisForSpareParts,  if you want a 'dock' you mean like the unity launcher panel. id say try awn then.16:01

Dr_willisYou 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
DeadLock74633896Mrokii: 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
MrokiiForSpareParts: Other options would "Cairo-Dock" or "Gnome-Do"16:02
theadminForSpareParts: 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 Enter16:03
ForSparePartsMrokii: Yeah, theadmin suggested Gnome-Do -- trying that right now.16:03

DeadLock74633896Mrokii: Thanks, you've been very helpful. A soon as I try, I'll disconnect, so i'll come back if it doesn't work16:10
Mrokiioupateddie: 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
MrokiiDeadLock74633896: Sure. Good luck.16:10
murpleoupateddie: Probably just put in the Windows 8 installation CD, reboot your computer and proceed to install.16:11

oupateddieI am on Ubuntu Linux16:11
inri tried to put in the windows 7 installation cd but i cant format my disks probably becouse i have ubuntu on it.16:11
* Dr_willis thinks murple sent to the wrong nick..16:11
Dr_willisinr,  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

oupateddieI do not use Windows, have lost too much in the past and Microsoft is mad to ask teh prices they do for the operating system16:12
* murple has a problem with a Webcam in 12.04 which worked perfectly with 11.10 and wonders if Dr_willis could assist, lest I start asking about how to install Windows as well!16:12
lorddeltamurple, oupateddie, don't think he's talking about installing windows...sadly windows is free too (for most people)16:13

duckxhow about webmin.. anyone used tat before ?18:22
subb1jsaran, only some sites are not being resolved on your browser?18:22
imbezolduckx: i've used it but find i'd rather do it by command line where i can script things and don't have to troubleshoot why certain things aren't behaving in webmin like i expect them to18:23
martiansubb1: 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 | duckx18:23
ubottuduckx: 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
imbezolduckx: and last i looked, webmin didn't have much in the way of tools to assist with a migration18:23
MrFaggotsonimbezol: Yep, seems to allow me to install it just fine now.18:23
duckximbezol, how do u manage say 10 sites.. u'll have to mess with vhost files and apache config files no ?18:23

qkslvrwolfIs there a known way to get ubuntu 12.04, running in KVM, to shutdown on APCI calls without the 60 second timeout?18:25
antnashHey guys. Can anyone point me to a way to find out why I'm only getting audio through the left on my nvidia gt 520?18:25
qkslvrwolfI've set everything I can find inside of dconf-edit18:25
subb1martian, well if he is able to telnet to yahoo.com, then dns resolution works fine. he needs to provide more info then..18:25
imbezolduckx: you'd have a separate file for each site..18:25
martianduckx: 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
imbezolduckx: then you can just move the file in or out of the sites-enabled dir18:25
Kyle__rensvind_: Well the program I was thinking of is myunity, and it doesn't do what you want.  Sorry :/18:25
rensvind_Kyle__, ok18:25
duckxwhat about the /etc/hosts ?18:26
duckxu have to modify that too no ?18:26
=== ae__ is now known as ae___
imbezolduckx: no18:26

tibroxI can login to ubuntu 12.04 as a guest, but my own user login causes X to crash and return me to the login screen.   What can I do to restore the gui on my own user?18:26
imbezolduckx: pretty much. you could have a file that is a virtualhost definition for the site, and toss it in the dir18:26
martianduckx: 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
