Jordan_Ujohn3voltas: Wubi is the Windows Based Ubuntu Installer. It creates an ext4 disk image file on your Windows partition and sets up ntldr/BCD to boot from it allowing you to have a full Ubuntu installation without any repartitioning or changing of the MBR. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows00:00
MrGizmo757yeah.00:00
TomatoKetchupMrGizmo757, sorry I couldn't be of much help00:00
psusiring1, I thought the cd was staying the same, but they were adding a new image that was to be around 1+gb, smaller than dvd but larger than cd00:00
MrGizmo757well you helped some.  i went from no emails at all  to emails.   just need to work out this secure connction error.00:01
L3top!cookie | TomatoKetchup00:01
ubottuTomatoKetchup: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!00:01
MrGizmo757i have an idea.  ill wait until my wife gets done on on her windows laptop.  and i will get thunderbird up on that and compare the advanced settings.00:02
john3voltasJordan_U, as said, i can't install linux or anything suspicious like wubi. all i need is a boot parameter to tell the kernel where to find the filesystem squashfs.00:02
TomatoKetchuplol thanks00:02
L3topIt is cumulative00:02
Jordan_Ujohn3voltas: I don't know what kernel parameter that would be, sorry.00:02
bennypr0fanehello, I have a wlan problem, 12.04 doesn't recognize my chip it's a broadcomm 43xx00:02
L3topeverytime I pop in here today you are fixing.00:02
L3topthats good stuff00:02
MrGizmo757becuase it works fine on the windows machine so  if i can match my settings under ubuntu  to the way its sets itself up under windows maybe it will work.00:02
TomatoKetchupMrGizmo757, good deal, did you check the thunderbird error console?00:03
john3voltasJordan_U, do you mean the kernel parameters are not documented?00:03
MrGizmo757no00:03
TomatoKetchupMrGizmo757,  Tools > Error console, see if there is anything helpful in there.00:03
Jordan_Ujohn3voltas: The may or may not be documented. If they are documented then I don't know where to find them.00:03
ActionParsnipjohn3voltas: what are you wanting to achieve with the boot option?00:03
MrGizmo757there are two erros marked in red00:04

c0ldz3r0how can i set my printer to print in win xp without ask for password00:04
TomatoKetchupyeah that's nothing, two of the same error?00:04
c0ldz3r0any idea ?00:04
john3voltasActionParsnip, i want to boot ubuntu in a frugal way. just vmlinuz+initrd+filesystem.squashfs from my hdd instead of from a livecd00:04
MrGizmo757and the other says  attribute deprecated00:04
ActionParsnipjohn3voltas: add the boot option:   text00:05
MrGizmo757ok heres somthing.   i have Chrome installed as my browser. and one of the logs says   Could not read chrome manifest 'jar:file:    so maybe its trying to do somthing with chrome that is messing things up.00:06
john3voltasActionParsnip, text? what does it do?00:06
TomatoKetchupeh, I have that error too00:06
ActionParsnipjohn3voltas: makes the X server not load but but starts all the services and such00:07
bennypr0faneI removed bcmwl-kernel-source, broadcom-sta-common, and broadcom-sta-source,00:07
OerHeksbennypr0fane, firmware=N/A , i think you need the firmware-b43-installer package, after install reboot00:07
bennypr0fane I installed b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer and rebooted, also un.blacklisted bcm43xx and rebooted - no success! :-( :-( :-(00:07
john3voltasActionParsnip, don't get why you're telling me to use it. what do i gain? how will i be able to boot ubuntu frugal using text?00:08
bennypr0faneOerHeks all done, nothing happened00:08
MrGizmo757ok a few of the error logs have somthing related to chrome in here00:09
bennypr0fanec0ldz3r0 your questions seems off-topic, it sounds like it belongs in a windows channel...00:09
ActionParsnipc0ldz3r0: how did you share the printer? I imagine you shared it in Ubuntu...00:09

ActionParsnipc0ldz3r0: so you want to print from ubuntu to a Windows shared printer?00:10
c0ldz3r0yes00:10
bennypr0fanec0ldz3r0 which is the application that's asks you for a pw?00:11
c0ldz3r0every time i want to print something i have to enter user and pass00:11
ActionParsnipc0ldz3r0: you can set the username and password when you connect, its part of adding the printer00:11
Jordan_UActionParsnip: I think you misunderstood what john3voltas meant by "frugal", in this context they mean something like http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Frugal_Install00:11

hwolffHello, I have a question about ubuntu and virtualbox. Every time I run an update, the system installs the generic-pae kernel. When I boot, it then boots the pae kernel. But that kernel has no module vboxdrv.00:24

ubottubgamari the assumption when you ask "how do I send a signal" is that you have a working system: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned.01:13

lorecasteroh, that was when i was trying to figure out my NVIDIA issues.01:16
lorecasteri've been in and out of terminal since 17:0001:17
XirrinActionParsnip: I ask because I know a lot of times those file-by-file copies don't include any type of partition information or boot sectors so you still have to reformat the drive and reinstall things.01:17
bgamarisysrq works, one moment, I need to reboot01:17
Xirrinescott: Want to be able to simply and quickly restore a machine if I nuke it.01:17
bgamariescott: ^^01:17
Sheldon23It also shows a root session that's opened May 17th 0600 then intermittently all the way until 170001:17
ActionParsnipXirrin: true, you'll need to reinstate grub. You could make an ISO of the whole partition I guess01:18
lorecasterwhen I was out of town :S01:18
bgamariBut seriously, is there no way to send a signal to an Upstart job?01:18
bgamariWith SysV you could just use Ctrl-C01:18
escottif you can get a clean shutdown you might be able to figure out what is going on during the boot by checking the logs. there is also the bootchart utility. you could install that within a chroot, boot it and let it hang and then sysrq out and that might give some details on what is going on01:18
Sheldon23Looks like that's when it's happened.01:19
ActionParsniplorecaster: do you have the root account enabled?01:19
lorecasterI am always logged in as a user, and only EVER access terminal as SUDO when necessary01:19
lorecasterotherwise, all else is default.01:19
bgamariescott: The terminal just shows the result of fsck on /01:19
lorecasteri never mess with users.01:19
Sheldon23Is your password easily guessed?01:19
caesar__what's the best theme manager (iyo) for 10.0401:19
bgamariescott: and some warnings from rpcbind which are due to another bug01:20
ActionParsnipcaesar__: there is one built in...01:20
Sheldon23Was Firewall enabled?  You can check under Admin-Firewall.01:20
ActionParsnipcaesar__: or myunity can do it01:20
lorecasterit's an english pronounciation of a japanese word. all letters, not found in english, 8 characters.01:20
bgamariescott: Yes, sysrq works. swapper is running01:20
lorecastercheck how?01:21
bgamariescott: which makes sense since the harddisk is going wild01:21
caesar__ActionParsnip: are you talking about the appearance preferences?01:21
Sheldon23Click Administration -- Firewall.  See if i's enabled.01:21
escottbgamari, im not sure what i can do but refer you to the logs. i dont know what would be happening at that point in the boot01:21
lorecasterusing gnome301:21
ActionParsnipcaesar__: sure, or myunity under the theme tab01:21
lorecasterI don't have the original gnome pulldowns01:21
bgamariescott: Is there no way to kill the task?01:22
escottbgamari, how do you know what task it is01:22
caesar__ActionParsnip: this is 10.04... i dont have unity01:22
Sheldon23Okay.  Can you go to program list, and type "firewall"01:22
bgamariescott: Point taken; I suppose it's asynchronous01:22
_ProtekNickzlol01:22
Sheldon23by clicking on that button on the top left (forgot what it's called)01:22
lorecasternothing appears01:22
ActionParsnipcaesar__: then there is the appearence app in the menus01:22
Sheldon23and searching for "firewall"01:22
lorecasterI never installed anything of firewall yet (new install)01:22
bgamariescott: There's no way to convince upstart to spawn a shell to investigate from?01:23
caesar__so default theme manager is better than emerald or gstyles?01:23
escottbgamari, you can always change to boot to recovery but thats a different boot process01:23
escottbgamari, its either a normal boot or it isnt01:23
ActionParsnipcaesar__: its in the default install, it wil therefore gel with the OS as that is it's job01:23
Sheldon23Hmm.  Okay, bottom line looks like there's been some unauthorized root access.  Best thing to do is full reinstall, strong password, diff from previous, enable Firewall, perform security updates.01:24
bgamariescott: sysrq-f killed it01:24
bgamariescott: It's continuing to boot so hopefully I'll know which task it was soon01:24
bgamariescott: It was apparently find presumably started by mounted-tmp01:25
lorecasterunderstood. I really appreciate it. I thought people didn't hack linux. I'm just a home-user with no other reason to be hacked other than random chance... Cable modem, static IP maybe? could pose a problem?01:25
bgamariescott: huh, /tmp must be huge on this machine. weird01:26
_ProtekNickzanyone know how to get the Ubuntu-Tweak working, meaning the LogonSetting, all Disabled right after installing it? and i can't figure it out01:26
Sheldon23Well, even if Linux is generally more secure than Windows, any system without Firewall enabled and a strong password is susceptible.01:26
lorecasterunderstood. I shall do a fresh-install. my keyboard issues appear to have resolved.01:27

Sheldon23Also turn off SSH if you don't need it.01:28
lorecasterhow do i turn it off?01:28
lorecasterI never use SSH01:28
_ProtekNickzservice ssh stop01:29
lorecasterpermanent? even after restart?01:29
Sheldon23Try typing this into terminal to check if root account was enabled accidentally: sudo cat /etc/shadow01:29
ActionParsniplorecaster: it's not installed by default, you can uninstall openssh-server if you don't use it01:29
wifioregonMy friend wants to install ubuntu on an old netbook but doesn't have a USB flash drive. Is there any other way he can install?01:29
Sheldon23If root shows a "!" instead of an encrypted password, then root account's been enabled somehow.01:30
_ProtekNickzBurn it to CD01:30
ActionParsnipwifioregon: USB CD driver, SD card01:30
ActionParsnipwifioregon: PXE boot if you can setup a PXE server01:30
wifioregonthanks.. I didnt think about the SD card01:30
Xirrinlorecaster: I have to agree with what was mentioned here earlier. The ONLY way that you know 100% that you are secure is a full reformat, a new STRONG password that you share with no one, and turning off all remote access that isn't actively needed while keeping those that you do need as secure as possible (HTTPS instead of HTTP, SSH v2 instead of v2, running firewall, etc)01:31
_ProtekNickzAnyone know how to get the Ubuntu-Tweak working, meaning the LogonSetting, all Disabled right after installing it? and i can't figure it out01:31
ActionParsnip_ProtekNickz: i don't believe  ubuntu tweak is supported here, its a 3rd party app01:32
Xirrinlorecaster: Also, something to consider is if you're wired or wireless. Wireless is not nearly as secure as people want to believe it is, even with all the "bells and whistles" turned on.01:32
_ProtekNickzi realised that, but was just asking for some friendly advice01:32
Sheldon23_ProtekNickz, Add the ppa. Refresh package list, and install.01:33
Sheldon23_ProtekNickz, http://www.noobslab.com/2011/12/install-ubuntu-tweak-06-on-ubuntu-1204.html01:33
_ProtekNickzXirrin: i agree wireless is bull dust01:34

sbaker48I have a Dell PowerEdge T105 (video is onboard ATI ES1000), and when I install Ubuntu 11.10 the colors are too bright. Especially light gray is impossible to distinguish from white.

munescott, distribute meaning? what if i'm a freelancer?01:39

escottmun, in fact you have to do a bit more. if you distribute you must release the source code and build scripts01:39
munescott, release to whom? my client or the public?01:39

Sheldon23_ProtekNickz, ah, brilliant!01:40
netmkeither by e-mail or you put 'em on an FTP or webhost.01:40
escottmun, depends. is it work for hire? if it is then the company owns the ip (check with a lawyer on that, but thats true of most work for hire contracts) so they can use it internally as much as they want and it is within the same "person" and so is not distributed01:40

blitzkrieg79i'm building a domain controller for windows boxes out of an ubuntu server, but i think i don't have to use ubuntu server to get it done, can anyone confirm or deny this?02:15
sayzlogin02:15
blitzkrieg79meaning i could probably do the same job with regular ubuntu as opposed to ubuntu server02:15
escottblitzkrieg79, sure its all just packages you could start with minimal and build up or start with desktop and add server02:16
blitzkrieg79cool, because its going to be a virtualbox on a freebsd machine02:16
blitzkrieg79and for the life of me i can't find a working link i can use to download an iso for ubuntu server with wget02:16
blitzkrieg79but i can find one for regular ubuntu all day02:17
blitzkrieg79the machine in question has no opticals02:17
Timothyblitzkrieg79, you can get the same job done, but the server install will give you a slimmer install - more resources dedicated to the task, less to a gui02:17
blitzkrieg79icky, i have to use a gui?02:17

wormmdSome craziness happened the other day: I fired up vim, updated my .Xresources file with some crazy terminal colors, ran xrdb .Xresources, opened vim back up, and noticed that my terminal color changes apparently blew away my vim colorscheme. So I changed them to something else, ran xrdb .Xresources again, and opened .Xresources in vim again. The terminal colors were back to normal, but the colors were the same wacky colors I had changed from, but other file02:48

ms-daisyHello. What's the best way to get Flash working in Firefox 12.0? Right now it's using 100% CPU.  Is Flash-Aid the best option?02:49
wormmdTimothy: when I open .Xresources with vim, the old crazy terminal colors are applied. When I open .config/awesome/rc.lua, my vim colorscheme is respected.02:50
wormmdthe point is, only ,Xresources is weird. Other script files get properly highlighted.02:51
Timothywormmd: can't really help you unfortunately...I'm too lazy to change my colors as 95% of my linux work is client/server admin related.  interested to hear how it works out tho...02:53
Timothycaesar, i'm assuming you've cleared your cache and all that wonderful stuff?02:53
wormmdTimothy: just had a thought: I changed the colors. Wonder what happens if I remove the color lines entirely.02:54

oziBlindSightSorry but I didn't do a backup :(. Am trying to fix using apt-get dist-upgrade but that fails.04:51
three18ti_2008... sure nothing has changed since then. ;)04:52

Sheldon23oziBlindSight, What is the exact error message?  If it's too long to post here, use pastebin or similar.04:53
oziBlindSightExact message is "E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'util-linux'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)"04:55
grendal-primeanyone familar with the problem of vm's and removing and adding nics?04:56
dr_willisgrendal-prime:  what sort of problem.04:56
grendal-primethere is the udev/rules.d/ dir with the 70-persistent-net.rules issue.04:56
grendal-primeon 10.04 and the like you had to delete that file...for various differnt reasons...but mostly because you cloned the box04:57
Sheldon23oziBlindSight, Looks like the package "upstart-job" is the problem. Install it individually "sudo apt-get install upstart-job" and then run apt-get dist-upgrade.04:58
grendal-primeand so your interface would come up and udev want to assign it like eth1 instead of eth004:58
Sheldon23oziBlindSight, Also, in the future, golden rule: always make backups before attempting any sort of upgrade/reinstall.04:58

crizistouchscreen is more or less the most diabolical input method :)06:01
plustaxI have a real laptop and a real keyboard. I call it my laptop06:01
goddardkris07: i see might try the laptop testing group on launchpad06:01
crizisyes. and that's what makes tables useless..06:01
goddardi bet they would know as that is a popular laptop06:01
crizis*ts06:01
safridzalKaleidoscope: it runs fine on mplayer ( it doesnt turn black on plat=ying)06:01
krababbelmyersg: if you want to try, a tabbed window manager like wmii could be good, if you have a keyboard.06:01
plustaxHonestly, it took me a while to find a use for my tablet.06:01
safridzalit just my OS cant respect the joystick input06:01
plustaxBut I found that it IS easier than carting my laptop around06:01
plustaxand android pwns06:01
safridzalit only recognize mouse and keyboard, not joystick06:02
Kaleidoscopesafridzal, then you may be out of luck, I'm not sure you can set Power manager to recognize joysticks06:02
kris07goddard: I'll give it a shot. I just figured that that script would do the trick if I could get it to work06:02
bigpapacrizis: found it but it don't recognize the second card, not sure why06:02
safridzalKaleidoscope: ok, thanks..will search on others chann06:03
safridzal:D06:03
Kaleidoscopesafridzal, if you can, you could have mplayer running in the background on mute whilst you play Tuxcart06:03
safridzalKaleidoscope: lol06:03
safridzalbut its nice trick i think06:03

glioros./etc/crontab gives me bash: /etc/crontab: Permission denied06:05
gliorosany ideas?06:05
crizisglioros: what you're trying to do?06:06
crizisglioros: "crontab -e" edits the crontab for the user you run it with.. sudo crontab -e for roots crontab06:06
bigpapacrizis: thank you reading now06:06
crizisglioros: /etc/crontab isn't an executable file if you're trying to run it, it only lists commands for crontab to run06:06
glioroscrizis: basically there was a bug on ubuntu 10.4 and plesk so i mv /etc/init.removed/anacron.conf /etc/init/ so to make the statistics working but nothing06:07
glioroscrizis how to check that cron is working properly ?06:09
bkerensaglioros: the cron is working fine the question is how to check if the script is working properly06:09
JPeterso2how do i get ubuntu to recognise  Interix symlinks (created in cygwin)?06:10
crizisglioros: sudo service cron start, should say that it's already running06:10
JPeterso2cat interixlink prints the plain text and not the linked file06:10
crizisand whatever it is running, you can edit with crontab -e06:10
glioroscrizis: ok it is running. the statistics still not working. many people has problems with statistics on plesk which in installed on ubuntu and PLESK cannot give an answer06:11
criziswell, plesk is a commercial closed panel so they should give support for it06:12
crizisnot really an ubuntu issue06:12
bkerensaglioros: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto <-- has some helpful information on cronjobs06:12
bkerensaglioros: thats a server matter you might try #ubuntu-server or contact plesk which provides support for their platform06:12
flowerpotglioros, don't forget to confirm whether cron is really running by executing ps -C cron or ps -ef | grep cron06:13
gliorosi will change host. enough i am tired with them. my advice is stay away from plesk. 10 years i was with cpanel and i never had problems. with plesk i always have problems.06:13

flowerpotSilversong, one of them gives you virtual tty106:31
flowerpotthe other gives you virtual tty206:31
dr_willisSilversong:  differnt consoles you mean? you normally have 6 of them, f1 through F606:31
gliorosguys i am not able to run this command /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics –calculate-all any ideas why ?06:31

SilversongI'm trying to install a proprietary driver06:31
dr_willisSilversong:  nonee of them.06:32

dr_willisYou can use commands TO kill X from them06:32
dr_willisalt-ctrl-f7 is the x server display06:32
dr_willisnormally06:32
Tamoxini have  tried to install ubuntu in my netbook but i cant06:32
dr_williswhat are you trying to install exactly Silversong06:32
flowerpotSilversong, the virtual tty's are independent virtual consoles.  think of them as little monitors plugged into your computer.  you can run any commands from any virtual tty; linux won't care06:32
Silversongso sudo service lightdm stop ?06:32
Tamoxini restar my netbook and thers only a black screen06:33
Silversongdr_willis I'm trying to install my NVIDIA prop. driver06:33

flowerpotTamoxin, do you have an nvidia video card?06:33
dr_willisSilversong:  you HAVe used the drivers in the repos first?06:33

Silversong^Noob06:33
Silversong:D06:33
dr_willisSilversong:  you DONT want to just 'go to the nvidia site and ge their ,run file' its most likely not  needed06:34
dr_willisthere should have been a dialog when you logged in about the restricted drivers.06:34
flowerpotSilversong, repo = repository = apt-get repository.  apt-get is a package manager used in ubuntu, which manages the installation/update/uninstallation of packages (=software such as drivers) to your system.06:34
dr_willisgo to your X desktop. run 'jockey-gtk' and see what drivers it suggests and can auto install for  you06:34

flowerpotTamoxin, I don't know what to say.  Did you verify the md5 hash of the livecd installation media?06:50
dr_willisbigpapa:  2 differnt  video card/chipsets? what chipsets?06:50
Tamoxinwhats that?06:50
bigpapaDr_willis: amd HD 6850 video cards06:50

j605network manger reports wifi is disabled by hardware switch06:51
flowerpotTamoxin, my suggestion would be to try re-downloading the livecd06:52
dr_willisgoddard:  try 'locate .desktop' there are tons of them.06:52
Silversongdr_willis: I see. So I should install a proprietary driver for THAT instead, right?06:52
dr_willisSilversong:  intel drivers are included by default. :)06:52
dr_willisSilversong:  thats why intel is so awsome..06:52
Tamoxini had downloaded it trhee times06:52
Silversongdr_willis: Hehe, I like Intel as well06:53
flowerpotTamoxin, try a livecd - not a liveusb06:53
dr_willisTamoxin:  verify the downloads. if they dont verify.. no point in going on..06:53
Silversongdr_willis: So I should just get a proprietary driver for that? Or is there one? What can I do to get my computer run Unity 3D?06:53
Tamoxinonce the alternate version and twice the normal version06:53
Tamoxini cant use live cd cuz i have a netbook06:54
dr_willisSilversong:  intel drivers are included by default. :)  there IS no proptiatry driver for them06:54
Tamoxinthis is a headhache cuz there is no problem whit other distributions like linux mint06:54
dr_willisSilversong:  my netbook does 3d using the normal drivers on intel hardware06:54

BlackWebI'll play with it a little more, thanks wilee-nilee07:44
wilee-nileeBlackWeb, cool the color is a tough one, there are themes a very limited amount on board but more on the web07:45

dr_willisEarliest irc i recall was in about 1986  -  was on bbs;s befor that,07:51
BlackWebcant really remember, going through my installed packages to try to find it,07:51
alusionanyways, dr_willis do you happen to know where tomboy notes are saved? Or perhaps how I can search for something from the terminal ? (could improve my skills in searching)07:51

dr_willisthe deveelopment of that  tool is progessing at a very very rapiid pace is whats going on Silversong08:07

JosssseHello Everybody. Yesterday I was working on an article, took a pause and then turned on my computer again. To my surprise, the .tex file disappeared. I'm pretty sure it was ubuntu ones fault. Is there some sort of back up tools which saves files I chose every, say 5 minutes, so I can have a sort of history of changes?08:33
RawProducealtin: you should be able to setup an ad-hoc network08:33
JosssseMaybe even a gedit module.08:33
altinRawProduce, but If I do that I get disconnected form the network I am getting internet from08:34
RawProducemaybe try and bridge the connections?08:34
auronandaceJosssse: welcome to cloud computing08:34
RawProduceJosssse: you could always setup a git repo and have a daemon commit every 5 minutes xD08:35
Josssseauronandace, :)08:35
JosssseRawProduce, What is a git repo?08:35
RawProduceJosssse: git is a version control system - software developers use it08:36
MatCatHey, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTE, and for some reason my ability to change background images has stopped working, the settings program runs fine, but the background does not change, any ideas?08:36

RawProduceI'm sure there's a simpler way to solve your problem, though08:37
RawProducetry dropbox08:37
=== griselda is now known as spex971
chuJosssse: Not a programmer, but I have my whole `~/Documents/' directory in a git repo on a USB stick I have. I just "push" new changes to the stick (about every week) and "pull" them onto a separate computer when I want them updated. Keeps the sets of files consistent. Much easier than emailing myself a change everytime I update the file.08:39
Jossssechu, do you recommend a git for me?08:40
JosssseWould it be a good Idea to have it run every five minutes?08:40
REK_007is there a way to add the DVD ISO as a repo on ubuntu ?08:41
chuJosssse: I *do* recommend git. It's not an issue to set up, and has some really nice tools available. I do the pushes manually, but you could run it every 5 minutes (if you wrote a naive script, it could be a bit painful)08:42
Jossssechu, heh, Git is the git. Sorry.08:42
KM0201REK_007: an ISO? probably.08:42
KM0201you'd have to mount the ISO, then add it to your repository list08:42
REK_007KM0201: yeah an ISO08:43
REK_007KM0201: i have mounted the ISO on /cdrom08:43
Jossssechu, What do you mean by naive script, could be painful??08:43
KM0201ok, what happens when you try to add it to synaptic?08:43
REK_007but sources still dont recognize it08:43
RawProduceJosssse: if your information is not sensitive, you could use github - they host git repositories (repo's) for free08:43
chuJosssse: Well, presumably you'd only want to issue the push if the file had actually changed. In a naive script, you probably wouldn't take that into account.08:44
REK_007when i try add volume on sources it says "Could not find a suitable CD." KM020108:44
KM0201hmm08:44
JosssseRawProduce, Thanks!08:44
RawProducechu: "git push" on a repo with no changes yields "Everything up-to-date"08:45
RawProduceI don't think that's as much of an issue as you expect08:45
KM0201REK_007: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4694/how-to-use-a-iso-image-as-a-cd-rom-repository08:45
chuRawProduce: Yep, but if you were running that every 5 minutes it's stealing your valuable cpu cycles08:45
Jossssechu, I'll check git out I think It'll do the job. I was actually thinking about writing a perl process which did the job, it wouldn't be sooo hard.08:45

KM0201REK_007: you got that when you ran apt-get update?08:52
REK_007yeah KM020108:52
JosssseRawProduce, That's nice but since i'm writing math stuff with latex i'm constantly saving and compiling. I wouldn't want the file to be backed up every time I save it. Just every five minutes, if it changes.08:52
KM0201then i would say it probably worked08:52
REK_007cool :)08:52
chuJosssse: Do you use LyX for LaTeX?08:52
KM0201REK_007: try disconnecting someething from the internet, and see if you can install something that is on the repo.08:53
Jossssechu, No. What's lyx?08:53
REK_007KM0201: yeah trying that08:53
RawProduceJosssse: you could store the last commit date in a file somewhere - when the file changes, compare the date in the file to the current one - if it's more than 5 minutes, commit/push. This way you save every 5 minutes only when there are changes08:53

dr_willisalusion:  ive  heard there can be some nasty issues when  messing with the login sound. Like lightdm not logging in normal users..09:01
AB2jabbarhttp://pastie.org/390002709:02
alusionWhat is lightdm?09:02
crizisubuntu's default login manager. the one where you type in your password when you login..09:02
dr_willisi disabled the login sound with ubuntu-tweak and lightdm dident like it. ;) not sure if ubuntuii--tweak has a tool to change the sound09:02
dr_willisgdm worked however.09:02

dr_willisrico:  for somthing that specific. id think google would give faster rewults09:03
dr_willis!nounity09:03
ubottuUbuntu 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 !classic09:03
alusionI have a 15 second clip, is it too long ?09:03
dr_willisthe omgubuntu and webupd8 sites had some guides on making 12.04 gnome-2ish09:03

Guest21613after upgrading to ubuntu 12.04 I can no longer save file as by using alt+left click09:13
Guest21613same for all browsers, so i know its a ubuntu problem09:13

dr_willissounds more like a compiz/unity taking a keybinding.. but im not  at a pc right now09:14
Guest21613actually it is save link as when you press alt + left click normally09:15
dr_willisI thought alt-click in a browser oopened in a new tab09:15
Guest21613i tried compiz but i dont get it really09:15
Guest21613no luck as of yet09:15
dr_willisalt-click also normally starts the X 'move window' feature09:15

lapionbooting into the single user mode cannot handle fstabs with mounts that are not availabel09:18

Guest21613dr_willis how do i disable 'move by clicking anywhere in any window'09:19
ikonialapion: they should do if you boot single user mode09:19
lapionikonia, same if the /home fs is mounted from a different hdd09:19
ikonialapion: nah, it's fine,09:19
lapionnope ikonia09:19
dr_willisGuest21613:  no idea. never wanted to. never tried,  You may want to check askubuntu,com about your left-click-save thing. ive never noticed that feature09:19
ikoniajust booted my laptop into single user mode with an NFS share missing09:20
lapion]try with a home fs missing09:20
ikoniaok09:20
lapionikonia now start up network or do a fsck09:20
Guest21613ok thank you dr_willis09:20
ikonialapion: thats not single user mode09:20
ikoniaif you start networking, it's not single user mode09:20
lapioneither way.. as soon as the system wants to do a fsck it doesn't continue09:21
Guest21613yeah it was always the same for windows and ubuntu but just changed for 12.04. seems crazy to reinstall 11 just because of keybinding issues09:21
lapionand single user networking is not multiuser networking09:21
Guest21613anyone else awake still?09:21
lapionI have to go into the shell start networking up and then do mount all fs read-write09:22
ikonialapion: what are you doing ?  I don't understand09:23
ikoniasingleuser + networking = multi user,09:23
ikoniawhy are you trying to start network, what is your end goal ?09:23
dr_willisi always just right click on links to do things to them09:23

Aggerhi all...ive got a problem with memory leaks on ubuntu 10.04 - i checked out processes and memory usage and noticed that gnome-panel was taking up 900MB (i have a top and bottom panel which are usually quite full with apps)...RAM usage was at around 90% at that point. I killed gnome-panel and after some 10 mintes the panels came up again (note gnome session was still alive all throughout) - problem is RAM is still at 90%...09:27
lapionikonia, did you do a cold start of the laptop ?09:27
lapionikonia, or did you simply revert to single user mode from multi-usermode ?09:27
ikonialapion: I'm doing it on a different machine, one moment,09:28
ikonialapion: I can't drop /home on my laptop, so I'm testing on a different machine,09:28

lapionikonia, and you did select the fsck option from the menu ?09:42
ikonialapion: menu ? I just booted into single user mode, that's just a command prompt09:42
alusionwhat does sudo apt-get upgrade do for me that update doesn't?09:42

dr_willisupgrade does the real work09:43
chuJosssse: What directory did you initialise git in?09:43
dr_willisupdate the list, then upgrade the system09:43
lapionikonia by single user mode I meant system recovery mode.. which used to be the same as setting single at the grub prompt ..09:43
linuxuz3rhi09:43
Steevca_KM0201: I gave a paste bin file.09:43

alusionI am trying out upgrade then :o09:44
KM0201ok..09:44
alusionAre there any other repositories one would recommend for ubuntu09:44
lapionwell yeah at the actual single user mode I have no problems doing fscks and other recovery thingies.. but I am not the only one using ubuntu out there09:44
KM0201alusion: i guess that would depend if somethying you want is not in th default repos09:45
KM0201!partner09:45

Jossssechu, home09:45
Steevca_I have a broken package i can't remove. I tried sudo apt-get remove,clean,autoremove,-f nothing works.09:45
ikonialapion: right, so the issue isn't with single user mode, it's with the recovery shell option09:46
chuJosssse: Not sure, but you could add the file .nano_history to the .gitignore file.09:46
KM0201Steevca: so what exactly is your problem w/ installing skype?09:46
lapionikonia, I'm sorry for confusing things..09:46
Steevca_KM0201: i get this http://pastebin.com/JZiNzLDV09:46
ikonialapion: you need to look at what/how the recovery shell works, where it depends on things, if you feel those dependencies are unreasonable, you'll log a bug09:47
ikonialapion: personally I don't think there should be a recovery shell09:47
KM0201Steevca: that looks like a problem w/ the package09:47
KM0201install it from the repositories... add the partner repo, and apt-get install skype09:47
Steevca_KM0201: How?09:48

ikoniakalle: this is an ubuntu technical discusion channel. Please keep to that topic10:14
ikoniaServerCrash: why do you think it's not vlc ?10:14
ikoniaServerCrash: you run vlc - memory goes up you don't run vlc, memory doesn't go up10:14

ikoniakalle: google is not eveil - however, I have now answered your question10:15
ikoniaServerCrash: why are you not accepting that vlc is eating the memory10:16
ikoniaServerCrash: what makes you think it's not vlc ?10:16
ServerCrashbecause the VLC process is using constant memory, but for sure its causing issue to some of the system process, which is now eating up memory10:16

ikoniaServerCrash: well, the fact that it's keeping a constant memory size while system resources are being eaten, is a good sign that it's actually eating the memory10:17
ikoniaServerCrash: it's quite possible it's it's eating the ram to maintain it's size, hence why you don't see it change size10:17

WotWhereikonia: the system boots up.. but no Sound or video playing.. hangs when i try to play anything.. SegvFaults10:26
ikoniaWotWhere: so you can boot the system and use it fine, but when you try to play a video you get no sound and it segfaults10:26
kelvinellaikonia, ios4.3.310:27
ikoniakelvinella: I understand10:27
ikoniayou need to think hard about what has changed10:27
ikoniakelvinella: something must have changed on your ubuntu system or the phone for it to just stop working10:27
ikoniakelvinella: or try manually mounting it to get better debug out put10:27
kelvinellai have followed one of the guide on internet how to install virtualbox PEUL that has to add a line in fstab10:28
kelvinellabut i delete that line already10:28
ikoniathat shouldn't be a problem10:28
StepNjumpIs there a way to find out all the files I opened yesterday and where they were located? Some kind of audit system?10:28
ikoniaStepNjump: if you are running tools like tripwire already you can do that, but in terms of retrofitting them that's not going to happen10:28
kelvinellaikonia, http://xrigher.info/linux/ubuntu/enable-usb-support-in-virtualbox/10:29
WotWhereikonia: thats right.. but there are other issues also.. ex. on starting Allsettings ---> additional drivers .. i get internal errors SegvFaults.. (which have been reported)10:29
ikoniaStepNjump: you can look at "access" time stamps, but it won't be valid10:29
ikoniakelvinella: I don't need to see the link10:29
kelvinellaikonia, i added none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=664 0 0 to fstab10:29
ikoniaWotWhere: segfaults normally = hardware problems, which in your case I'd suggest memory / cpu problems10:29
kelvinellawould that affect the automount?10:29
ikoniaWotWhere: I'd run memcheck to do some tests10:29
StepNjumpthanks ikonia10:29
ikoniakelvinella: I don't blieve so, no10:29
kelvinellaikonia, but i delete it after10:30
ikoniakelvinella: you've said that, and I've said 3 times "it shouldn't matter" so my opinion won't change if you say it a fourth time10:30
kelvinellaikonia, lsusb does show apple, tnc10:30
kelvinellainc10:30
ikoniaI understand that10:31
WotWhereikonia: its  a brand new system, also win7 works fine.. but will try ur way have run out of options been googling Ubuntu and found it has issues with propreitory drivers10:32
ikoniaWotWhere: windows working fine is not a valid test, brand new does not mean it is in full working order10:32
ikoniaWotWhere: there are possible issues with propritary drivers, disable them and see if the problem goes away10:33
iSeeDeadPixelsWho has experience with MAAS10:33
WotWhereikonia: have tried that this is my 3rd day of troubleshooting,  Xdiagnostics error BUG: unable to handle NULL Pointer dereference at 00..02c10:34
StepNjumptriptriC10:34
ikoniaWotWhere: no point putting random lines like that, they mean nothing in context10:35
ikoniaWotWhere: so if you've disabled the propritary drivers and it's still doing it.....it won't be them10:36
cantorwhy (the hell) does alt+tab no longer switch between windows on ubuntu 12.04?!10:36
ikoniaWotWhere: which leads it back to a base hardware issue as the most likley cause (from experience)10:36
WotWhereikonia: ok ... doing the memtest right now10:36
ikoniaWotWhere: make sure you leave it running for 24 hours or so10:36
cantoris there some new feature that alt+tab has on ubuntu 12.04?10:36
cantorand does anyone one know how to switch it back?10:37

vltHello. How can I tell `ps` to assume more characters of screen width? I want to `ps | cut -c 60-` but there’s no characters to be shown beyond my actual screen width.10:37
ikoniacantor: press alt+tab see if it does anything new10:37
cantorikonia, nope, THATS THE THING [:10:37
melvincvikonia: Any benefit in running memtest for 24 hours?10:37
cantorit does NOTHING (cry)10:37
ikoniamelvincv: yeah, getting enough passes in to get a better idea that it's all "sound"10:37
gaelfxI've got a box running 12.04 using the NVidia drivers for graphics, and every time I reboot, the resolution is somehow automatically set to 1080i/50hz instead of 1920x1080/60hz, how can I fix it?10:39
gaelfxI tried saving the X.org config file numerous times and everything, even ran the nvidia-settings command as root and saving my settings, but it seems no matter what the setting are lost on reboot10:40
stars69have anyone here used desktop sharing? how can i make this startup automaticlly as system started?10:41
sirriffsalotgaelfx: Geez, I've had my share of problems with nvidia...10:41
sirriffsalotgaelfx: I wouldn't worry too much about it just yet, still lots of fixes to be made10:41
sirriffsalotgaelfx: if you can't login because of nvidia on the other hand... *shivers*10:41
gaelfxsirriffsalot: this box isn't set up to require login on reboot, the only problem is that the borders of the screen are cut off and I have to fix it every time it reboots (ie when the kid pulls the chord for fun)10:42
kelvinellaikonia, i can ssh into my iphone, do you know which path iphone saves the pictures?10:42
ikoniakelvinella: if you can ssh into it, it's jailbroken10:43
ikoniakelvinella: which means the standard IOS support rules go out the window10:43
ikoniakelvinella: try ##apple for iphone help10:43
WotWhereikonia: When i did a fresh install the System was Freezing all the time.. then I installed AMD Catalyst 12.4 Manually.. i dont think the memtest will help at all.. doing it coz havent done as yet10:43

ikoniayou are using a jailbroken firmware10:49
cantorI am.10:49
ikoniathat is modified10:49
cantorikonia, there is no difference10:49
cantorits not a flash of the firmware10:49
kelvinellaikonia,  but what about my non-jb ipod?10:49
cantorits identical.  All it does it sets a root password10:49
_skplcan someone help me? i cant get simplescan to recognise my scanner10:49
ikoniacantor: it does more than set a root password10:49
kelvinellaikonia, i never change my ipod setting and can not mount now10:49
ikoniakelvinella: has your ubuntu machine had any updates ?10:50
cantorthe pdf exploit allows one to change root, then you install their version of debian and cydia10:50
kelvinellaikonia, i keep update the ubuntu whenver it has new updates10:50
cantorit does not change the firmware, just installs apps and sets password10:50
kelvinellaikonia, like the kernel and stuffs10:50
ikoniakelvinella: right, so as I said before, updates can change the supportabilty of devices10:50
ikoniakelvinella: it very much depends on what versions of $X support versions $Y10:50
cantorkelvinella, you likely got screwed by an update10:51
ikoniakelvinella: apple is not a good platform for the support in linux10:51
huppensuhnI need some kind of encrypted, compressed and mountable file container. what I want to do: offsite backups, limited bandwith, very limited online storage space, sftp/scp, server and client run ubuntu 12.04. I don't want incremental backups, one copy that gets updated regularly is enough, rather synchronization than real backup. ideas I had so far: 1) duplicity. are duplicity's archives mountable? I'd have to do a full backup each10:51
huppensuhn time if i want to keep only one copy, right? 2) split and encrypted 7zip archive or similar on sshfs. are those mountable? does an archive update really only update changed files or would I have to retransmit more? 3) someone suggested compressed btrfs on cryptsetup here. does something like that work with an disk image rather than a disk? would this work? 4) rsync + encfs over sshfs, missing compression. other suggestions? what10:51
huppensuhn's the proper way to do something like that?10:51
FloodBot1huppensuhn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.10:51
kelvinellaikonia, so how do i fix it?  ifuse?10:51
cantorwow10:51
ikoniakelvinella: you can't, apple is a closed source product that offers zero linux support10:51
kelvinellaikonia, i install ifuse still no automount10:51
ikoniakelvinella: if the hacked support breaks, there is nothing you can do about it10:51

gaelfxI'm thinking it might be a problem with gnome-display-properties, but I've no idea where to find the config file or change it or stop it from loading11:03
sirriffsalotgaelfx: ah... Perhaps a bit useless, but have you tried google?:P11:03
gaelfxsirriffsalot: indeed11:03
sirriffsalotgaelfx: have you tried ubuntu-tweak or gnome-tweak-tools?11:03
chutchip: You could do it with Python.11:03
gaelfxsirriffsalot: no, and I've no desire to11:03
tchipI don't know Python , unfortunately11:04
sirriffsalotgaelfx: haha, un derstandable..11:04
llutztchip: perl, theres a module for google:translate in cpan11:04
sirriffsalotgaelfx: have you tried running an earlier kernel version?11:05
tchipNo perl, as well. Javascript, or php, would suit?11:05
sirriffsalotgaelfx: as a temporary fix. hold shift when you bootup to get into the grub selection menu, and go for "earlier linux versions" or words to the effect11:05
chutchip: You could really do it with pyhton easily. You wouldn't need to learn much.11:05

vltgaelfx: I already used --assume-yes with aptitude but I think that’s only used for aptitude’s own question (whether to continue downloading recommended pkgs, for example) but not for the dialog shown by the deb-conf script :(11:07

usb333Hi guys, how do I remove manually-installed packages that aren't tracked by apt?11:08
JPeterso2why is the 12.04 subversion package 1.6?11:08
JPeterso2you got a problem with 1.7?11:08
vltusb333: Did you use dpkg to install it?11:08
usb333vlt I don't think so. I think I compiled it11:09
gaelfxvlt: indeed it is only used with aptitude, since it's only an option for that command, not for the commands it runs ;)11:09
vltusb333: Then it’s technically no “package” and you must remove it manually.11:09
usb333vlt and how do i do that?11:09
vltusb333: rm11:09
icerootJPeterso2: mostly because debian is using 1.611:09
icerootJPeterso2: and its easier to use already existing packages instead of maintaining a new package11:10
vltusb333: You can look into the sources. When it’s properly set up there could be an uninstall routine like `make uninstall` or something liek that.11:10
icerootusb333: depending on the build-process, have a look at the manual of the software, its always different11:10
icerootusb333: that is one reason to use packages instead of self compiled software11:11
usb333vlc I think "make uninstall" did it. Thanks guys!11:11
vltgaelfx: Can I pipe a “Y” to the aptitude process?11:11
icerootvlt: there is an option for automatic selections, so its build into aptitude already but i cant remeber the option (man aptitude)11:12
vlticeroot: Do you mean “-y|--assume-yes”?11:13
j0hnsm1thhow do you see where packages install stuff? like into /etc/ and other places11:13
vlticeroot: That doesn’t work here.11:13
icerootvlt: no there was something different11:13
icerootvlt: something with default/y/n and so on11:13
vlticeroot: Ok, I’ll try to find it.11:13
kubanchow do i install libstdc++11:13
icerootkubanc: apt-cache search libstdc++  to find the package you want (there are different versions)11:14
icerootkubanc: then "sudo apt-get install packagename"11:14
* vlt tries `aptitude -R linux-image-generic` now.11:15
* vlt and inserts “install”11:15
icerootkubanc: i guess gcc/g++ have it and will bring other things too you maybe need11:15
kubanciceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/994016/ what package?11:16
sirriffsalotgaelfx: well, for my part doing that solved a temporary problem with usb failures11:16
sirriffsalotgaelfx: might be worth a shot?11:16
icerootkubanc: libstdc++6 sounds good11:16
kubanciceroot, i get this error: ERROR: 32-bit libstdc++ not found. PSQL requires 32-bit libstdc++ support, that's why i'm trying to install libstdc++11:16
kubanciceroot, libstdc++6 is already the newest version.11:17

iSeeDeadPixelsServerCrash, top11:21
icerootServerCrash: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/11:21
icerootServerCrash: first read that11:21
icerootkubanc: free means freedom11:22
icerootkubanc: and SLES is GNU/Linux, so its free11:22
icerootkubanc: what you mean is that sles costs money11:22
eutheriamaybe they should start using unbound rather than free11:22
MonkeyDusteutheria  free as in freedom of speech, that is unbound11:23
icerootkubanc: but back to your question, how you installed the software?11:23
crizisif you want SLES or RHEL, you buy them because you want support and quaranteed updates. Just like why you would pay for Ubuntu Advantage11:23
eutheriaMonkeyDust, unbound would cause people to have to think what they mean, i am getting sick of explaining free doesn't mean cheap to people ehre11:23

icerootmonsterwizard: cve.org11:28
icerootmonsterwizard: there are many security issues on the software you are using e.g. flash, java, firefox11:28
cypher-neomonsterwizard, The reason there are security updates, is also the reason you never hear of threats. lol11:28

tahimikmy_ubuntu: I looked at the tty output. Approach seems to be correct. It might be that mount is having difficulty finding /OS, in which case you could creat a new directory in your home directory, somthing like ~/mountpoint, and use that instead of /OS12:18

chmacSeems like my printer will only print one page jobs, not multi-page jobs. Any idea how I script the print of a PDF?12:18
jsjgruber-x-pchmac, sounds like a bug. Can you try another kind of printer to narrow down the problem?12:19
my_ubuntu_tahimik: I think the same, cause there is no 'OS' Directory in / . So How will it find it there. Moreover, the mount image is there in /media, but in my command, there is no role of 'media'12:20
chmacjsjgruber-x-p: Probably is, but I need to get 140 pages printed today and I only have 1 printer here :-)12:20
ms-daisychmac: I've seen a thread in ubuntuforums.org about the same issue.  I'm trying to find it but you can look too if you're in a hurry.12:21
jsjgruber-x-pchmac, you could use python and a module called poppler to script the rendering of individual pages, I guess. There's an example of rendering a window from a page of a pdf using poppler in lernid.12:21
chmacms-daisy: Ok, would appreciate the link if you find it.12:21
jsjgruber-x-pchmac, it may be more work to script it than to print 140 pages, I don't know.12:22
chmacI just found `lpr` which seems like it'll print a file, so a simple `for f in *; do lpr f; done` might do the trick :-)12:22
jsjgruber-x-pyou'll have to get each page in its own pdf, however. lpr x.pdf does work, I use it at least once a week.12:23

WotWhereHow many passes for a reliable report in memtest?  or time? should ecc be on or off?12:27
jsjgruber-x-pms-daisy, you use rsync on files and directories, not on whole hard drives or partitions. If you mount all of the partitions on the secondary hard drive you could rsync the root directory of each.12:28
jsjgruber-x-pms-daisy, you would wind up with copies of the contents of the files, but not a copy of the image of the hard disk. You may be12:29

chtulhu318under any other user, files simply don't show up12:42
compdocms-daisy, its best to make it simple - see if you can at least list the rsync shares:  rsync msdaisy@192.168.1.22::12:42
Dr_willisg3orge,  i dont know what your mac model is. I dont even know mac model #'s -  you could determine your chipset via the lspci output, and other erorr messages and search for those also.12:42
ms-daisycompdoc: the connection was refused.  I just rsync'd the home folder to the server though.  Is this a permissions thing?12:44
compdocms-daisy, very likely12:45
ms-daisycompdoc: so probably the permissions on the mounted drive? or the permissions of my ssh user? (bleh- now I have to learn permissions)12:46

klausWell, i updated to 12.04 and now my sshfs entry in my fstab is not working automatically during boot.13:29

Fat-ThingDr_willis,  i'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS lucid lynx if i have to upgrade to 12.04 does it mean that all my files will be gone?  and i got dell inspiron 1545 built-in vcard 3GB RAM is it enough!?13:31
klausFirst, i tried manually mounting it with mount <mountpoint> and it worked. Second, i don't want to use nfs, i used sshfs with 11.10 and it worked fine without any problem for half a year, so...13:32

BiblioclastaAxeman, I do13:34
Fat-ThingMonkeyDust,  what's that command do?13:34
klausI just tried automounting it with mount -a and it also worked. I think the problem is, that ubuntu doesn't wait for network connection to mount it, but i already use (and always used) _netdev option13:34
MonkeyDustFat-Thing  what does it look like? it upgrades your ubuntu to 12.0413:35

zykotick9prc384: type "groups" in a terminal - are you a member of the sudo group?14:32
prc384cause not in the sudoers file14:32

prc384i restarted my computer and it just stopped allowing me to do everything14:32
prc384it was completely random no new software installed or anything14:32

bibi23hi, I'm trying to learn how to do shell scripts, I'd like to put the current timestamp in a variable, I found on google that date +%s returns the current timestamp, but if I try to assign a variable this way : test=date +%s, it fails, why? thx14:33

killerhi guys....whenever i try to install an os in kvm....i get "This VM uses an emulator "QEMU" which is not installed in the system.14:35
L3topschiiiiiz: if you have locked yourself out of ssh you are going to have to attach one.14:35
zykotick9killer: actually kvm in terminal, or libvirt?14:35
killeractually it's AQemu14:36
jribprc384: what ubuntu version?14:36
chiiiiizL3tops: you mean connect the dockstar directly on my local computer via ethernet cable?14:36
prc384@jrib 12.0414:36
zykotick9killer: i have no idea what AQemu is - so i can't help.  Good luck.14:36
jribprc384: in the future, you should remember that usermod -G will remove all your current groups unless you use -a.  It's better to use « sudo adduser USER GROUP » to add user USER to group GROUP.  What you must do now is reboot into recovery mode and do two things: 1) remove your user from the root group because he shouldn't be in it (sudo deluser USER root) and 2) add your user to the sudo group (sudo14:36
jribadduser USER sudo).  Replace "USER" with your actual username!14:37
jribprc384: if you're in recovery mode you don't need the "sudo"14:37

(http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3048)15:19
lorddeltaikonia: command to do that would be nice to know?15:19
genii-aroundlyscer: Does the directory name start with some unusual character, like a period?15:19
lyscerit is a smb share15:19
ikoniachristian__: I used to run mine on 8.04 and 10.04 no problem15:19
ikonialorddelta: just trust the ubuntu developers15:19
lyscerno it is "Marketing"15:19
christian__ikonia: i will send you some ice-cream if you help me to fix it15:19
Picilorddelta: see the url I just linked you.15:19
ikoniachristian__: open the network manager applet and see if you see the mobile internet option15:20
rulijust trust ubuntu developers is a very bad idea15:20
Picilorddelta: also http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1417-1/15:20
lorddeltaPici: I meant is there a decent way to see the release notes via command line? i.e. dpkg or something?15:20
christian__ikonia: you didnt need anything like wvdial or something like that ? i am trying it with the network manager right now15:20
ikoniaruli: why is that ?15:20
christian__one moment15:20
ikoniachristian__: nothing at all15:20
lorddeltaPici, ikonia cat a file in a directory?15:20
lyscerwhen I do "ls -al" it doesn't show up, but I can "cd Marketing" and then "ls -al" and it shows all the files in the directory15:20
ruliikonia: well they're not exactly the sharpest tools in the toolbox15:20
Dr_willishow vague..15:21
christian__ikonia: cannot open netowrk managr :D15:21
AruzsiHi!15:21
ikoniaruli: yet they make and maintain and ubuntu disto which is pretty much the most popular desktop on the linux platform,15:21
Dr_willisand they did backport the security fix to libpng it seems15:21
ikoniaruli: I'd suggest keeping your ill thought comments to yourself15:21
lorddeltaruli: I agree. I trust them enough to create my OS distro, but I like to make 100% sure myself (well, ok, 99%) if I'm made aware of a security vulnerability15:21
ikoniaDr_willis: looks that way15:21
christian__ikonia:  ok its open now, but i dont see any connect button15:21
christian__i never saw that button here15:21
AruzsiIs gMTP working with Samsung Galaxy SII under Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit?15:21
ruliikonia: yeah good luck with that15:21
ikonialorddelta: so let me get this straight, you trust them to make your OS, but you trust yourself to manage it's security even though you have no idea how to do it15:22
pratzhow can i turn off beep sound in 12.04 ?15:22
lorddeltaikonia, Dr_willis, Pici that's not a judgement on the ubuntu developers15:22
lorddeltaikonia: Why so quick to assume that I'm bashing?15:22
pratzand where are sound preferences in 12.04 ?15:22
ikonialorddelta: clearly it is15:22
lorddeltaikonia: clearly I'm not15:22
lorddeltaikonia: I just want to make sure.15:22
ikonialorddelta: you don't trust them to manage security effentially, yet you don't know how to do it yourself but you trust that knowledge over the experience of the people who maintain and build your distro15:22
MonkeyDustpratz  system settings, sound15:23
rulilorddelta: ikonia is exactly right. you should switch to another distro15:23
resnodoes the base install of ubuntu 12.04 close port 20?15:23
lorddeltaikonia: So? I trust them to a point, and then attempt to learn the rest by myself.15:23
christian__where is the connect button at the network manager :D15:23
resnoah, never mind. didnt have the software isntalled15:23
lorddeltaikonia: please stop being so antagonistic.15:23
ikonialorddelta: houw about trust them - they know what they are doing15:23
lorddeltaikonia: how about you could have just helped me out with a command and we wouldn't be having this silly argument?15:24
ikonialorddelta: there isn't a command15:24
Picilorddelta: Personally I prefer installing apt-listchanges to make sure that I know what changes are being updated when I do my upgrades.15:24
pratzMonkeyDust: hmm, but there is no option for beep or alert15:24
ikonialorddelta: and the fact that you expect a command suggests you should just trust the developers15:24
pratzMonkeyDust: i thought there would be one15:24
Picilorddelta: aptitude has a changelog command, but I'm not sure of one for apt.15:24
lorddeltaPici: *nod* I think I have something like that installed, I do try to read them, but the last update had something like 400+ updates...15:24
lorddeltaSo needless to say I didn't read them all15:25
genii-aroundPici: Yes, I've found that very helpful after a failure, can check exactly what was changed without internet access15:25
lorddeltaikonia: no it doesn't15:25
ikonialorddelta: good luck15:25

pratzruli: now what do you mean by that ?15:26
ikoniapratz: ignore him - he's gone15:26
lorddeltaikonia: Never trust anyone 100%. I trust the ubuntu developpers, to a point, and after that point I want to make sure myself. To a point (no I'm not going to sit and stare at disassembly for hours. Also, a command does not imply that I trust the ubuntu developpers, I'd be fine with setting something up from source, from an external repo - unless the ubuntu developers are also responsible for gcc)15:27
ikonialorddelta: I'm not interested, just do what you want15:27

jerryHI -- I have an older PC that I have updated through many Ubuntu releases.  With 11.10, though, I have a wee problem: update-grub *says* it's rewriting menu.lst, but doesn't actually do that.  Anyone know why that is and how to fix it?16:29
L3topsTaddle: Assuming it is there, then sudo apt-get update and move on. If it is not there, ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d and delete it from wherever it lives in there.16:30

bibi23L3tops: maybe I can take the same repository than for my local computer, the difference is that it's precise instead of lucid, does it make it uncompatible?17:15

LmAtbeandog: At installation, it asked what keyboard I use. I told it "dvorak".17:25
beandogLmAt: Also, see if it's that way with another user, too... could be an environment variable somewhere ... I'm not really familiar with keyboard layouts17:25

rangergordhi17:35
Dr_willisMrSexyPants,  theres the msttcorefonts package i belive that gets most of the ms fonts17:35
rangergordI know it's not very productive but I just wanted to say, after jumping from 10.04 to 12.04, that it's the most annoying desktop OS I've ever had the displeasure to use.17:35
Dr_willisbut later fonts i think MS licensed diffently17:35
Dr_willisrangergord,  i find 12.04 a vast improvement...17:36
resnorangergord: if you knew it wasnt productive why do it?17:36
MrSexyPantsDr_willis, Would copying fonts from Windows 7 work on Ubuntu?17:36
Dr_willisMrSexyPants,  thats an easy way to get them. Put them in your .fonts directory17:36
rangergordresno: I didn't know. I thought "oh hey, new LTS, they must have had time to fix issues the people were complaining about"17:36

gamegeekfor mac i instaled rEFIt but it dousnt do anything wen i releunch my machene18:50
moahokay, if you dont want a bug report, good bye then, I wont bother next time.18:50
ErtheIt was an image, Rackspace18:50
ErtheBut installed as 10.04 LTS18:50
mongymoah, I'd personally use compizconfig-settings-manager (careful, it might break your unity if you use it wrong) and use the shift-switcher plugin with alt+tab or even a mouse gesture with the scale plugin., plus you can enable the showing of minimised windows in the 'workarounds' options.18:50
ErtheThe other sources, I would imagine, were added manually18:50
Teligardgamegeek: When you go through the installer, it should ask you if you wnt to set ubuntu up in a different partition.18:50
L3topfor a time our project had a karmic source for a specific package Erthe. I am sure figuring out what came from there will give you more clues.18:51
Sheldon42I love how some people have such an entitlement attitude, like moah.  Ubuntu or the community doesn't owe you anything.  You're not doing us a favor by using Ubuntu or by filing a bug report.  A little humility and patience goes a long way.18:51

donj_coz its not windows ._.20:47

Peri_at least windows doesn't pretend to be user friendly20:48
donj_It actually is right20:48
CookieMdid you manipulate in update manager settings?20:49
beandogPeri_: don't quote me on this but doing a rescue install might fix it20:49
theadmin"windows" and "user-friendly" don't go together in the same sentence without a negation. -_- Anyway, this is offtopic20:49
beandogIt's most likely a bad kernel20:49
beandogor some broken package install20:49
Peri_how?20:49
beandogor both20:49
beandogPeri_: just boot off the CD and go to install mode20:49
beandogI think it figures it out20:49
beandogmaybe it doesn't20:49
beandogI'm not sure.20:49
FloodBot1beandog: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.20:49
donj_Admin how do I save the changes made to the Read Only file in Recovery mode =\20:50
Peri_i don't have a cd or a functional drive for one... is there anything else I can do20:50
mongydonj_,  mount read/write in recovery mode.20:50
beandogYah, probably safe to ignore everything I said.  I dunno what hte best approach is.20:50
theadmindonj_: I think your filesystem is mounted read-only... Exit out of the editor, run: mount -o remount,rw /20:50
CookieMi had several big updates on 12.04 so far and it didn't broke up20:50
theadmindonj_: Then try again20:50
beandogPeri_: do you wanna fix your install or just get to your files20:50
Peri_fix install20:50
beandogk, then I'm not sure.20:51
Peri_i can access grub20:51
DJAnonymousHackbonjour20:51
CookieMbonjour20:52
beandogPeri_: did you try a different boot option?  rescue?  one of the older kernels?20:52
Peri_all of them rescue doesn't work20:52
Peri_only grub20:52
Peri_and i updated everything20:52
Peri_idn what to do20:52
Peri_can i type some command in grub that will fix it20:52
beandogHmm.  Dunno.  Check the wiki or forums20:53
beandogthere's gotta be a way to do a rescue install20:53
beandogThe *good* thing though, is that all your user data is stored in /home20:53
beandogSo even if your entire OS goes out to lunch, your preferences / data are all there.20:54
Peri_ok20:54
donj_yay it booted ;D20:54
Peri_rescue install erases all files?20:54
donj_Now hod do i get it to auto login <_<20:54
beandogPeri_: it'll reinstall the OS20:54
beandogI mean20:54
beandogYou gotta tread carefully20:54
beandogYour best bet is to get a backup of your /home directory first.20:54
Peri_u can back it up thru grub?20:55
beandogNo, boot off a USB or something20:55
Peri_ok20:55
beandogActually hold on20:56

beandogIf you want20:56

DJAnonymousHackbonjour es que on peus me dire comment sa marche se truc20:56
beandogFirst of all, which release are you on20:56

beandogPeri_: okay and how did it break?  just doing an upgrade that got interrupted?20:56
donj_<- Needs help with Autologin, Setting Static IP (network connection thing acting funny), and making a program run on startup20:57
Peri_it signaled me to update and then froze20:57
Peri_then i restarted after waiting a day20:57
Peri_it just froze during the update process20:57
theadmindonj_: Search for "Login Window" or "Login Screen" in your apps, that'll help you with autologin20:57
beandogOkay20:57
donj_its lubuntu btw20:57
beandogPeri_: what does it do when you boot20:58
theadmindonj_: Ah, Lubuntu... Might want to edit /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf then20:58
Peri_it goes to a purple screen w/the list of options... then whichever one i click that isn't recovery mode will lead to a black screen with a blinking dash in the corner20:58
CookieMPeri_ tried manually run 'update manager'?20:59
Peri_idn how20:59
beandogPeri_: so boot loader20:59
Peri_?21:00
beandogPeri_: your boot screen21:00
Peri_u mean the recovery?21:01
Peri_i tried to update everything on recovery mode, it did nothing21:01
beandogPeri_: so you can get into recovery mode?21:01
Peri_ya21:02
beandogHmm21:02
Peri_the force start doesn't work21:02
beandogPeri_: what option did you pick in recovery mode21:02
Peri_i clicked all the update options21:02
Peri_it ran thru and finished21:02

brightsparksHi what's the simplest way to connect 2 linux computers at home without using the internet or a modem?21:06
Peri_root is different from grub>?21:07
ryebread761hello21:07
beandogPeri_: yah, if youre running as root, you're inside the fs21:07
nexiumDoes wine has a mirc channel?21:07
Peri_ok i think root doesnt work21:07
Peri_only grub21:07
beandogPeri_: can you make sure21:07
Peri_i remember21:08
Peri_im not even there21:08
guntbert!aptitude | beandog i'd recommend using apt-get21:08
ubottubeandog i'd recommend using apt-get: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information.21:08
Peri_on university comp21:08
Peri_im just writing down commands to try21:08
jagginessbrightsparks, you can use a cross-wire cable rj-45 -- and use 169.254.1.1 and 169.254.1.2 (both can have mask /24)21:08
beandogPeri_: oh okay21:08
Peri_there is no way to renew your os installation within grub>21:09
beandogPeri_: yah, sorry, I dunno too much about rescuing Ubuntu systems.  You can boot off a live USB though and get your data off21:09
beandogPeri_: grub is just the bootloader ... it tells the computer what OS to boot into.  Depending on your options from there, you can get into the box, if the rescue options exist21:09
beandogThere's some boot command foo you could do to get more data about why it's not loading21:09
jagginessPeri_, root for grub , in literature it means the "start" of a linux filesystem that contains grub.cfg21:09
beandogbut that's a pain, and I don't really wanna explain that, especially if you're not at the box21:10
Peri_k its fine21:11
brightsparksjagginess: thanks. So I need to have an lan card in each computer connected with an rj-45-and  the 169.254.1.1 and 169.244.1.2 will be allocated to each computer? Not sure what mask /24 is -do I need to type something in the terminal to set this up?21:11
Peri_i did it once tho i remember21:11
Peri_but i ended up deleting all my registry21:11
Peri_u can access updates right21:11

ubottuPeri_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!21:19
avid_fanivan__: you could always edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the following line "name server 8.8.8.8" (without quotes). That's one of Google's free public dns servers21:19
ivan__guntbert: only one line is in /etc/resolv.conf ( nameserver 127.0.0.1 )21:19

guntbertivan__: what avid_fan said21:26

ivan__avid_fan: is there any permanent solution?21:27
ivan__guntbert: avid_fan: it's working now..21:28
ivan__thank you21:28
ivan__guntbert: but, what about any permanent solution for this problem?21:28
bluesnowDoes upgrading from one Ubuntu version like 11.04, to 12.04 made anything backwards incompatible/break anything?21:28
sudiptahi,I have a problem with empathy in ubuntu 12.04 in gnome-shell 3.421:28
bluesnow*make anything incompatible/break anything?21:29
sudiptawhenever i start empathy it crashs with an erron in mission control 521:29
avid_fanivan__: if you're using dhcp, and i'm assuming this is on a home network, check your home router dhcp server settings, and set it to any of the ones we sent. if this is on some sort of corporate or hotspot then you need to check with tech support.21:29
beandogivan__: wait, what?  did you get it working with those nameservers?21:29
Phosphatebluesnow: I've done that on 3 or 4 machines with no problems so far, but ymmv.21:29
avid_fansudipta: i feel for you. wish i had a solution.21:30
ivan__beandog: yeah, it's working with 8.8.8.821:30
=== ajf is now known as Eszett
beandogivan__: okay do this, add that line to /etc/resolv.conf.head21:30
sudiptaavid_fan:should i report a bug21:30
sudipta?21:30
bluesnowPhosphate: Thanks. Also, when I tell my update manager to check for updates, it's not showing me anything (I'm still on 11.04)21:30
beandogivan__: it'll get added to resolv.conf each boot before the DHCP nameservers21:30
=== Eszett is now known as scharfes_s
=== scharfes_s is now known as scharfes-s
beandogivan__: so it'll always use those first21:30
=== scharfes-s is now known as scharfess
=== scharfess is now known as Eszett
ivan__beandog: it seems like a great solution21:30
ivan__beandog: thanks man, I'll try right away ;)21:31
xanguabluesnow: if by upgrading 11.04 to 12.04 you mean editing the sources and changing the release codename in those to precice, yes it will break soon or later and it's also not supported here21:31
Phosphatebluesnow: Try an apt-get update then apt-get upgrade once that gives you no updates I'd think it's safe to do the distro upgrade21:31
avid_fanivan__: there is also a way (though i don't know off the top of my head) to configure your dhcp client to ignore any dns servers issued by the server.21:32
bluesnowxangua: is that the same as using the update manager to upgrade to 12.04? I'm not sure what you mean21:32
Phosphatebluesnow: do-release-upgrade21:32
avid_fanivan__: then you wouldn't need to edit the resolv.conf every time.21:32
xanguaivan__: easy as pie (just use gksu instead of sudo)  gksu gedit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/setup-static-dns-servers-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/21:32

c0deMasterhow to use OpenDNS in Ubuntu 12.04 ??22:13
Krambiorixin a crontab i want to grep a log file for things that happened today, how can i do that? The date format is like [Sat May 19 00:08:43 2012]22:15
Multbrelchsmithw, can do lspci and look for network controller22:15
Multbrelchpost the message22:15
avid_fanc0deMaster static ip or dhcp? using network manager?22:15
vltHello. I installed ubuntu-desktop and logged in. Now I see this: http://suez.musketa.de/u01.png -- Any idea why there’s no clock or logout button? What pkg could be missing here?22:16
c0deMasteravid_fan, yes using the network manager and dhcp22:16
avid_fanKrambiorix: you might want to look at logwatch. i think it does just that, or can be configured to.22:16
smithwMultbrelch, I'd guess it's this one: 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 872322:16
xanguac0deMaster: opendns servers 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 ; just use gksu instead of sudo if you use gedit http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/setup-static-dns-servers-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/22:17
todon_Krambiorix: `grep 'Sat May 19 ' /path/to/logfile` should do it.22:17
Krambiorixtodon_, it should work for all days :-)22:17
avid_fanc0deMaster: sorry i'm not that familiar with network manage. but i know there is a way to set it to ignore dns servers issued by dhcp and then add the ones from opendns22:17
Krambiorixtodon_, something like '%D %M %d......?22:18
avid_fanc0deMaster: just don't know the exact steps22:18
avid_fanc0deMaster: xangua onto something there22:19
c0deMasterXander, Ubuntu 12.04 uses reslovconf and dnsmasq , bydefault there is nameserver 127.0.0.1 in the resovl.conf and if i removed it and added opendns nothing resolves , and this file is overwritten every time your connect to the network22:19
smithwMultbrelch, I have the windows drivers for it and I have already installed ndiswrapper, but I'm unsure on which driver version to install (my system is 64-bit, but I've heard horror stories about 64-bit drivers on ndiswrapper).22:19
Xanderc0deMaster, you mean avid_fan ?22:19
smithwAlso, if there was a native solution, it'd be nicer22:19
Multbrelchsmithw, I'm searching the internet : no result so far22:20
c0deMasterXander, sorry man22:20
avid_fanXander: i think c0deMaster actually meant xangua22:20
majusculeIs there any way to use `strace` or something similar to observe what environment variables a process uses?22:20

Multbrelchsmithw, hmm ndiswrapper worked a couple of times for me22:20
Xanderc0deMaster, no worries man. :) Just making sure the message went to the right person22:20
Krambiorixavid_fan, logwatch is too much for what i want22:20
Xanderavid_fan, okay, sorry ;)22:20

smwIf I install 12.04 on a computer with 11.04, will grub find and add entries for 11.04?22:22
ratcheerc0deMaster: Does your LAN use a router? If so, just set the OpenDNS addresses for DNS on the router.22:22
todon_Krambiorix: Ah, I see. In that case:22:23
vltsmw: Most likely yes.22:23
todon_Krambiorix: grep `date '+%a %b %d'` /path/to/logfile22:23

todon_Krambiorix: Actually, needs quoting, so:22:24

ratcheerIf the router has it, every node on the LAN will use it. Do you sometimes not use your router?22:24

cellardoorI'm doing the GRUB recovery via a Ubuntu Boot disc, but when I run sudo grub-install /dev/sda. I get back "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). - What do I do?23:57

Drecondiusstalkerg: one moment i think i might have just thought of an answer to an unasked question. :D23:58
krababbelMatCat: weird, third party apps have had some issues with that. I'd delete all preferences.23:58
MatCatkrababbel: It lets me pick images but nothing changes, just the same default ubuntu background23:58
krababbelMatCat: or try a new test user first23:58
MatCatkrababbel: Where would I find the preferences to delete them?   I will try a test user now23:59
hydrox24stalkerg: I would recommend playing around with compiz-config-settings manager.23:59
ogaHey all, tring to get my line-in recording to work. Using a small personal mixer with microphone attached to get it going. No input seen on sound preferences but if mixer is turned up it will input sound by what i think is electrically stimulating the microphone port. Have tried to unmute all in alsa mixer. in the capture section there are two spaces for "Line" but no control above it... any idea?23:59
krababbelMatCat: sorry, I don't know where they are.23:59
