[00:00] john3voltas: 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-windows [00:00] yeah. [00:00] MrGizmo757, sorry I couldn't be of much help [00:00] ring1, 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 cd [00:01] well you helped some. i went from no emails at all to emails. just need to work out this secure connction error. [00:01] !cookie | TomatoKetchup [00:01] TomatoKetchup: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:02] i 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] Jordan_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] lol thanks [00:02] It is cumulative [00:02] john3voltas: I don't know what kernel parameter that would be, sorry. [00:02] hello, I have a wlan problem, 12.04 doesn't recognize my chip it's a broadcomm 43xx [00:02] everytime I pop in here today you are fixing. [00:02] thats good stuff [00:02] becuase 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. [00:03] MrGizmo757, good deal, did you check the thunderbird error console? [00:03] Jordan_U, do you mean the kernel parameters are not documented? [00:03] no [00:03] MrGizmo757, Tools > Error console, see if there is anything helpful in there. [00:03] john3voltas: The may or may not be documented. If they are documented then I don't know where to find them. [00:03] john3voltas: what are you wanting to achieve with the boot option? [00:04] there are two erros marked in red [00:04] here's some output from lshow -c network: http://pastebin.com/EMgGpxwP [00:04] unknown property moz column fill [00:04] psusi, http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/05/msg00685.html [00:04] have no clue what that means [00:04] how can i set my printer to print in win xp without ask for password [00:04] yeah that's nothing, two of the same error? [00:04] any idea ? [00:04] ActionParsnip, i want to boot ubuntu in a frugal way. just vmlinuz+initrd+filesystem.squashfs from my hdd instead of from a livecd [00:04] and the other says attribute deprecated [00:05] john3voltas: add the boot option: text [00:06] ok 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] ActionParsnip, text? what does it do? [00:06] eh, I have that error too [00:07] john3voltas: makes the X server not load but but starts all the services and such [00:07] I removed bcmwl-kernel-source, broadcom-sta-common, and broadcom-sta-source, [00:07] bennypr0fane, firmware=N/A , i think you need the firmware-b43-installer package, after install reboot [00:07] I installed b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer and rebooted, also un.blacklisted bcm43xx and rebooted - no success! :-( :-( :-( [00:08] ActionParsnip, 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] OerHeks all done, nothing happened [00:09] ok a few of the error logs have somthing related to chrome in here [00:09] c0ldz3r0 your questions seems off-topic, it sounds like it belongs in a windows channel... [00:09] c0ldz3r0: how did you share the printer? I imagine you shared it in Ubuntu... [00:10] sorry i use ubuntu and the printer is installed um windows machine [00:10] Jordan_U, this is for debian: http://grml.org/online-docs/live-initramfs.en.7.html [00:10] the printer works normal [00:10] the question is [00:10] Jordan_U, i wanted to find the same for ubuntu [00:10] c0ldz3r0: so you want to print from ubuntu to a Windows shared printer? [00:10] yes [00:11] c0ldz3r0 which is the application that's asks you for a pw? [00:11] every time i want to print something i have to enter user and pass [00:11] c0ldz3r0: you can set the username and password when you connect, its part of adding the printer [00:11] ActionParsnip: I think you misunderstood what john3voltas meant by "frugal", in this context they mean something like http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Frugal_Install [00:11] yep [00:11] like DSL or Puppy [00:12] john3voltas: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=888911 [00:12] sorry a cant add pass and user in printer [00:12] not ask me [00:13] ActionParsnip, ah! topic posted by nooby, a puppy long time user from sweden :) [00:13] ok well i am out of here. ill mess with this more later. thanx for all the help [00:14] c0ldz3r0: you do, its set when you add the printer, like I already said.

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. [00:25] solid_liq: Is there a vboxdrv for pae? If not, is there a way for the update not to install pae? [00:25] s/it/it's ? what's that? i'm not english native ;) [00:25] hwolff, why are you asking me? [00:25] just installed 12.04 fresh and the onscreen keyboard comes up everytime i logon... anyone know of a fix for this?? [00:25] hwolff: try re-install virtualbox, my kernel is generic-pae and virtualbox runs fine [00:25] solid_liq, sorry, my irc client seems to have expanded the so: to your nick. I'm sorry. [00:26] hwolff, that's why you use dkms, so when you install a new kernel, the vboxdrv is automatically built/iinstalled [00:26] OerHeks, thanks, how can I find out whether that module is laoded or not?

Help? [00:36] Kaigh: unpartition the space and leave the space unallocated, then install to the free space [00:36] Ububegin, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [00:37] It is unallocated, nothing's on it.

[00:49] I am installing Ubuntu. It's asking to partition my current hard drive, which has Windows 7 installed. It's asking me to size the partitions using a slider, but the partitions are not even named! [00:50] So I don't know which partition will be which size when I am done. [00:50] Boyo, if you boot to the livecd you can use gparted directly [00:50] Boyo: If you use disk manager in Win7, you can resize the partition there then install to the free space [00:50] dont install ubuntu, it sux use windows 7 more secure, u get hacked with ubuntu [00:50] Boyo, I have some vague memory that those sliders where really confusing. [00:51] About how much space should I expect a new installation of Ubuntu to use?

[01:04] seems that way. allt his from updating nvidia prop drivers?? [01:04] lorecaster: doubt it [01:04] that is, seriously, all i've done since the last restart.

[01:07] How does one send SIGINT during boot? [01:07] Hmm. Then you obviously have to do a full reinstall. [01:07] -twitch- that's painful. [01:08] alrighty. I was afraid of that. [01:08] But I'd take a look at the logs in any case, just to see how or what happened. [01:08] I already have my live-install USB ready, see you all in a few hours, then. :'( [01:08] okay, where, which and how?

[01:10] if my system is already in chinese...? [01:10] I can't do much with this as it is. [01:10] escott: I don't have a console [01:10] Are the logs in Chinese too? [01:10] http://pastebin.com/SukkjmVL [01:11] bgamari, you want the equivalent of ctrl-c for a gui [01:11] whcih logs do you want to see? [01:11] escott: No, I want to send SIGINT to a starting Upstart job [01:11] What does "auth.log" say [01:12] http://pastebin.com/NmxJecVb [01:12] bgamari, ive never heard of a gui for "kill" so you probably just want to start a terminal [01:12] or SIGQUIT or SIGKILL or something === XLV_ is now known as XLV [01:12] escott: Again, this has nothing to do with a GUI. I would be thrilled if I could get anywhere near starting X [01:13] !xy | bgamari the assumption when you ask "how do I send a signal" is that you have a working system [01:13] bgamari 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. [01:14] Anyone have a recommendation for a good free cross-platform backup utility? I'd like to be able to make searchable backup images, but everything seems to be non-searchable (CloneZilla) or just files and not images (CrashPlan). [01:14] You'll have to go through that log file to check and see whether any session was opened when you weren't using the computer [01:14] ubottu: The problem is an incredibly vague symptom: the machine inexplicably stops booting right after starting plymouth [01:14] Xirrin: could use rsync, its a simple file by file copy [01:15] It took me a couple of hours to find the correct commands to type into my terminal to get my Broadcom 802.11 wireless driver to work on 12.4. Is anybody else having these same problems ? [01:15] most of this morning. [01:15] escott: Rather, see above [01:15] ... all day, actually. [01:15] bgamari: press ALT+F2 and run: xkill click what you want to kill [01:15] No, again, I do not have a working system [01:15] I didn't use my computer, I was out of town, in fact, until 17:00 today [01:15] I want to send a signal to an Upstart job during boot [01:15] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure how I feel about a file-by-file copy though. Easy to restore a full backup from a downed machine? [01:16] bgamari, what does it say when you hit the up arrow? does !sysrq work [01:16] Xirrin: yes, just copy the files back. [01:16] Xirrin, why do you want image backup? [01:16] Hmm. I'm not sure what time zone you're in because it shows that you've been logged in many times as root on May 17 around 2200 hours [01:16] oh, that was when i was trying to figure out my NVIDIA issues. [01:17] i've been in and out of terminal since 17:00 [01:17] ActionParsnip: 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] sysrq works, one moment, I need to reboot [01:17] escott: Want to be able to simply and quickly restore a machine if I nuke it. [01:17] escott: ^^ [01:17] It also shows a root session that's opened May 17th 0600 then intermittently all the way until 1700 [01:18] Xirrin: true, you'll need to reinstate grub. You could make an ISO of the whole partition I guess [01:18] when I was out of town :S [01:18] But seriously, is there no way to send a signal to an Upstart job? [01:18] With SysV you could just use Ctrl-C [01:18] if 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 on [01:19] Looks like that's when it's happened. [01:19] lorecaster: do you have the root account enabled? [01:19] I am always logged in as a user, and only EVER access terminal as SUDO when necessary [01:19] otherwise, all else is default. [01:19] escott: The terminal just shows the result of fsck on / [01:19] i never mess with users. [01:19] Is your password easily guessed? [01:19] what's the best theme manager (iyo) for 10.04 [01:20] escott: and some warnings from rpcbind which are due to another bug [01:20] caesar__: there is one built in... [01:20] Was Firewall enabled? You can check under Admin-Firewall. [01:20] caesar__: or myunity can do it [01:20] it's an english pronounciation of a japanese word. all letters, not found in english, 8 characters. [01:20] escott: Yes, sysrq works. swapper is running [01:21] check how? [01:21] escott: which makes sense since the harddisk is going wild [01:21] ActionParsnip: are you talking about the appearance preferences? [01:21] Click Administration -- Firewall. See if i's enabled. [01:21] bgamari, 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 boot [01:21] using gnome3 [01:21] caesar__: sure, or myunity under the theme tab [01:21] I don't have the original gnome pulldowns [01:22] escott: Is there no way to kill the task? [01:22] bgamari, how do you know what task it is [01:22] ActionParsnip: this is 10.04... i dont have unity [01:22] Okay. Can you go to program list, and type "firewall" [01:22] escott: Point taken; I suppose it's asynchronous [01:22] <_ProtekNickz> lol [01:22] by clicking on that button on the top left (forgot what it's called) [01:22] nothing appears [01:22] caesar__: then there is the appearence app in the menus [01:22] and searching for "firewall" [01:22] I never installed anything of firewall yet (new install) [01:23] escott: There's no way to convince upstart to spawn a shell to investigate from? [01:23] so default theme manager is better than emerald or gstyles? [01:23] bgamari, you can always change to boot to recovery but thats a different boot process [01:23] bgamari, its either a normal boot or it isnt [01:23] caesar__: its in the default install, it wil therefore gel with the OS as that is it's job [01:24] Hmm. 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] escott: sysrq-f killed it [01:24] escott: It's continuing to boot so hopefully I'll know which task it was soon [01:25] escott: It was apparently find presumably started by mounted-tmp [01:25] understood. 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? [01:26] escott: huh, /tmp must be huge on this machine. weird [01:26] <_ProtekNickz> anyone know how to get the Ubuntu-Tweak working, meaning the LogonSetting, all Disabled right after installing it? and i can't figure it out [01:26] Well, even if Linux is generally more secure than Windows, any system without Firewall enabled and a strong password is susceptible. [01:27] understood. I shall do a fresh-install. my keyboard issues appear to have resolved. [01:27] what is the name of eggdrop package anyonw know? [01:27] lorecaster, you "updated nvidia driver" , how did you do that? [01:27] terminal [01:28] sudo apt-get install eggdrop1.6.21 [01:28] Reading package lists... Done [01:28] Building dependency tree [01:28] Reading state information... Done [01:28] E: Unable to locate package eggdrop1.6.21 [01:28] stars69: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:28] stars69: sudo apt-get install eggdrop [01:28] Also turn off SSH if you don't need it. [01:28] how do i turn it off? [01:28] I never use SSH [01:29] <_ProtekNickz> service ssh stop [01:29] permanent? even after restart? [01:29] Try typing this into terminal to check if root account was enabled accidentally: sudo cat /etc/shadow [01:29] lorecaster: it's not installed by default, you can uninstall openssh-server if you don't use it [01:29] My 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? [01:30] If root shows a "!" instead of an encrypted password, then root account's been enabled somehow. [01:30] <_ProtekNickz> Burn it to CD [01:30] wifioregon: USB CD driver, SD card [01:30] wifioregon: PXE boot if you can setup a PXE server [01:30] thanks.. I didnt think about the SD card [01:31] lorecaster: 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] <_ProtekNickz> Anyone know how to get the Ubuntu-Tweak working, meaning the LogonSetting, all Disabled right after installing it? and i can't figure it out [01:32] _ProtekNickz: i don't believe ubuntu tweak is supported here, its a 3rd party app [01:32] lorecaster: 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] <_ProtekNickz> i realised that, but was just asking for some friendly advice [01:33] _ProtekNickz, Add the ppa. Refresh package list, and install. [01:33] _ProtekNickz, http://www.noobslab.com/2011/12/install-ubuntu-tweak-06-on-ubuntu-1204.html [01:34] <_ProtekNickz> Xirrin: i agree wireless is bull dust [01:34] stars69: just do sudo apt-get install eggdrop [01:34] stars69: it'll fetch the right packages. [01:35] I 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. When I install Ubuntu 11.4 I did not have this problem. Settings on the monitor don't help at all. Any ideas of what I can try? [01:35] <_ProtekNickz> Sheldon23 ive done all that, the install went fine, seemed to anyway, it's the Login Setting All items Disabled? [01:35] Is there some way with empathy to ignore the freenode login message from NickServ, without ignoring everything? [01:35] how do i take ownership of a directory? [01:36] undecim: That's a damn good question. [01:36] sbaker48: did you upgrade or is it a clean install? [01:36] netmk, thanks [01:36] is there a way to remove bottom panel from gnome-classic [01:36] aaa: man chown [01:36] aaa sudo chown username:username in general you should not do this outside of your $HOME [01:36] ActionParsnip, clean install [01:36] glenford: sure, just right click it and remove the panel [01:36] aaa: A better question: why do you need to? [01:36] aaa: what netmk and escott said [01:37] _ProtekNickz, Ah, I don't have a Ubuntu copy at hand to test. Maybe someone else could try it out and help you. [01:37] ActionParsnip: thats the problem i cant right click it [01:37] aaa: quick explination is "sudo chown USERNAME:USERNAME /DIRECTORY", but "man chown" is the best way to explain it [01:37] HI! [01:37] Hello everyone, good evening. [01:38] <_ProtekNickz> Sheldon23: ty for the help anyhows, ill just have to keep trying lol [01:38] Hi there. [01:38] glenford: tried holding shift or alt¿ [01:38] Does sshd keep access logs like apache? Where? [01:38] hi [01:38] i'm a bit confused about GPLv3. if i modify parts of the code, would my modifications need to be released as well? [01:38] created a shared directory in \srv and the guide said to do "sudo chown nobody.nogroup /srv/samba/share/". now i can't put anything inside [01:38] My guess is that is either has something to do with a new version of the ATI driver, or maybe that color calibration stuff? But I don't know what that is all about [01:38] !ot | mun [01:38] mun: #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! [01:38] ActionParsnip: dosnt work [01:38] mun, if you distribute yes (this is true of all gpl variants) === burrito is now known as Guest65314 [01:39] escott, distribute meaning? what if i'm a freelancer? [01:39] aaa: what guide are you following? [01:39] mun, in fact you have to do a bit more. if you distribute you must release the source code and build scripts [01:39] escott, release to whom? my client or the public? [01:39] got a link here to https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html [01:39] <_ProtekNickz> Sheldon23: OMG! im a DOLT, theirs a button top right to unlock the controls on the 'Login Settings' form, heh! it's workig now [01:39] usually you must provide a way for people to obtain a copy [01:40] _ProtekNickz, ah, brilliant! [01:40] either by e-mail or you put 'em on an FTP or webhost. [01:40] mun, 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 distributed [01:40] mun: To whoever you distribute the modified code to. So it sounds like your client in this case. Please continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic though. [01:40] Guys... what would you do if "/start/init.d/kdm start" get you a "no such file or directory" error while trying to start KDE? [01:40] sessioninstall wont update its just stuck in my update manager [01:40] aaa: What you want is probably chmod, so that other users can add files to the directory... [01:40] ActionParsnip: i cant seem to get it to work [01:40] Jordan_U, ok [01:41] aaa: chmod a+w /path/to/directory i think does what oyu want [01:41] sbaker48: try the boot option: acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux [01:41] I just want to start KDE without using startx, so I can go to the login screen. [01:41] But "/etc/init.d/kdm start" gives me that error. [01:41] question isn't the terminal command to open the Ubuntu Software Center, Ubuntu Software Center [01:41] aaa: (put "sudo" in front of that) [01:41] glenford, xangua said what you should do.. try holding shift or alt ? [01:41] so it allows access by anyone? [01:41] aaa: Depending on your use case, you may instead want to just use user directories [01:41] wilee-nilee: gksudo software-properties-gtk [01:42] aaa: It will allow anyone to create files and filders in the directory [01:42] Krux: that dosnt work [01:42] that's what i wanted. thanks [01:42] ActionParsnip, cool thanks it is crashing just need the error. [01:42] aaa: But if for example, user "aaa" puts a file in the directory, "bbb" won't be able to delete it [01:42] try the start button ?.. and right click [01:42] wilee-nilee: try upgrading in CLI first,then try the GUI [01:42] that's how i did it [01:43] aaa: File permissions can also control who can view or edit the file [01:43] ActionParsnip, I am all upgraded, that command open the software sources though. [01:43] sessioninstall wont update its just stuck in my update manager [01:43] wilee-nilee: then run: gksudo software-center-gtk3 [01:44] ActionParsnip, thanks I will try that [01:44] Hello, how can I add an item to the launcher? [01:45] How can I have empathy highlight messages prefixed with "undecim:"? [01:45] a [01:46] amikrop: drag it from dash to the unity panel [01:47] trying to install some packages. keep getting "503 service unavailable" from us.archive.ubuntu.com - is it just me or is something broken?

[01:50] by the way how do i put to sleep from keyboard ? [01:50] ActionParsnip: in a specific app which I unlocked it from dash earlier [01:50] ActionParsnip: no [01:51] ActionParsnip: ee yes [01:51] i solved my problem [01:51] ActionParsnip: it has an icon in dash. it's just I "unlocked it from launcher" earlier, that's when that started to happen [01:51] cvprog: try: sudo pm-suspend [01:51] Alt+Super+Right Click is what works for me :D [01:51] grimeton : thx. Looks like I've got problems. [01:51] fix 'em in the morning [01:52] ActionParsnip: actually it just happened with google chrome. I unlocked libreoffice writer, too, but when I ran it from dash its icon appeared normally in the launcher [01:52] ActionParsnip: pm command not found [01:53] cvprog: its a hypen, not a space.... === k is now known as Guest28984 [01:53] ActionParsnip: Now it happened with LibreOffice too. [01:53] ActionParsnip: that's really weird === Youri is now known as Iruoy [01:56] ActionParsnip, I tried the boot parameters, and nothing seems to have changed [01:56] ActionParsnip: so, any ideas why they never appear? [01:57] ActionParsnip: that worked but when i try to return to my desktop it does nothing it does not wake up [01:57] ActionParsnip: i used to do cd /etc/acpi/; sudo ./sleep.sh [01:58] ActionParsnip: but that also did the same thing, not waking up [01:58] So, anybody knows why I am losing some apps after I minimize them? They don't show in launcher. [01:58] ActionParsnip: thats why i asked how to go to suspend, this problem started after updating to 12.04 [01:58] That started when I unlocked them from launcher. But bow they never show, even when I run the app from dash [01:59] So when I minimize it, I lose it (cause it's not in launcher) [01:59] * now [02:01] im a new user of ubuntu... how can i put skype on startup?????? please [02:03] <|Slacker|> Kaduptm, click the clog and then startup applications [02:04] ok... what the extension of the file and where do i find it?!

[02:15] login [02:15] meaning i could probably do the same job with regular ubuntu as opposed to ubuntu server [02:16] blitzkrieg79, sure its all just packages you could start with minimal and build up or start with desktop and add server [02:16] cool, because its going to be a virtualbox on a freebsd machine [02:16] and for the life of me i can't find a working link i can use to download an iso for ubuntu server with wget [02:17] but i can find one for regular ubuntu all day [02:17] the machine in question has no opticals [02:17] blitzkrieg79, 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 gui [02:17] icky, i have to use a gui? [02:18] for desktop ya.... [02:18] using gui makes me feel like a noob [02:18] but, that'll work [02:18] dump your iso to a USB stick - that'll make you happy [02:18] blitzkrieg766: well, depending on what you're asking, it may be obvious you're a newb [02:19] <-ubernewb, sudo shut up!

[03:53] bongsawyer, stop it. this is ubuntu support only. [03:53] hmm weird, as if the login manager was removed from runlevel 2 [03:53] netmk: would runlevel 2 normally boot into a window manager? [03:54] yeah, it does on mine. [03:54] I've created a file /home/user/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkrc with the line gtk_color_scheme = "bg_color:#eeeeee\nselected_bg_color:#a2b8ca\nbase_color:#F7F7F7" in order to overwrite some settings in the theme I'm using, however the changes I made don't seem to have applied. How can I go about overriding my current theme with a local settings file? [03:56] I feel strange that my system can boot extremely fast(30s) before I installed kubuntu-desktop. It took me almost 1min50s to boot now. Why? [03:56] netmk: I am applying all updates and then will reboot.... maybe that solves it... [03:57] It seems the kubuntu slow my ubuntu down. [03:57] Nevermind my question. Piratebay comes to the rescue with the original ISO of Ubuntu 10.04 and plenty of seeders. Hell fucking yes. Thanks a lot. [03:57] worm: flip to the console, maybe something is timing out [03:58] i was wondering if n e one can help resolve an issue i have. when i watch video's on the media player it seems to be choppy...n e ideas plz would help? [03:59] I am not so sure, but a kde desktop is as important to me as a gnome desktop, so I need to install them together, but the weird thing is that even though I selected lightdm as my default login manager, it still load kdm when I boot. [04:00] i was wondering if n e one can help resolve an issue i have. when i watch video's on the media player it seems to be choppy...n e ideas plz would help? [04:00] there's a command I ran across the other day that'll change your login manager [04:00] Every time I boot, I can see "load kdm [OK]""load lightdm [OK]""close kdm [OK]" or something like that.. Why it still load kdm? [04:00] cHiNo, flash? [04:01] cHiNo, what if you download the video and play with mplayer; still slow? [04:01] ill try [04:01] cHiNo, what media player? [04:02] worm: try dpkg-reconfigure [04:02] dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [04:02] or whatever you want [04:02] need a little help with routing -> http://paste.kde.org/481562/ [04:02] Also the kubuntu seems slow down my grub too. The time between I choose ubuntu and see the loading image is much longer than before. [04:03] tomatoketchup, the ubuntu player and vlc, both of em wehn i watch video is choppy but audio fine [04:04] tommyfun: I have no problem about the dm. My problem is about why my computer slow down after installed kubuntu-desktop. [04:05] what version? [04:06] cHiNo, hrm, proprietary driver installed? [04:07] tommyfun: 12.04LTS, Ubuntu studio. [04:07] worm: the upstart scripts check /etc/X11/default-display-manager and then exit if they aren't it, so that's why you see it loading, it shouldn't slow anything down [04:07] Wait, Ubuntu Studio got updated? [04:08] cheese1756, thougth someone said that hasn't been updated since likes 2011 [04:08] *thought [04:08] cheese1756: Yes, definately...

Just says "Bad permissions: .netrc" in a script I am using. [04:18] the system is virtual, other precise installs work fine, which makes this problem particularly difficult to debug. I may have to just reinstall or take all the virtual machines down and compare their configs [04:18] when the bug happens slabtop shows that kernel's task_struct has bloated out of all proportion, like just a moment ago its size was 150 MB, normally 1-2 MB [04:19] how can i get support for my problems?

[04:50] oziBlindSight, If you've made a backup, the easiest thing would be to do a fresh install from a cd or usb. [04:50] three18ti_: when you install that, the init script isn't called dhcp3-server [04:50] i forget what it's called but it's something else... pretty sure it has 'dhcp' in there somewhere tho. list the contents of /etc/init.d/ and look through it [04:51] ok, thanks. guess the docs are a bit out of date, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html [04:51] Sorry but I didn't do a backup :(.

Install it individually "sudo apt-get install upstart-job" and then run apt-get dist-upgrade. [04:58] and so your interface would come up and udev want to assign it like eth1 instead of eth0 [04:58] oziBlindSight, Also, in the future, golden rule: always make backups before attempting any sort of upgrade/reinstall.

I am an experienced user but I do not know what is wrong [05:18] there must be, well thiere is nice. but i dont think that is the same thing.thats for individual processes [05:18] Kaleidoscope, Are you running a pae compatible kernel that can identify multiple cpu cores ? [05:19] sounds like...ya what sheldon said [05:19] Sheldon, Yea, It is picking up both CPU corse just fine [05:19] scar3crow: try with a newly made user as a test [05:19] ok [05:20] Cores*.... [05:20] grendal-prime: r u serious?? u can change ur username right?? [05:20] triskelion, i dont think so [05:20] ive never done that. I would just create a new user, copy over anything i wanted to keep and then remove the old one [05:21] but i could be wrong [05:21] you can change the.usersname somehow. but it can be bothersom [05:21] i need to remove a kernel module that is conflicting with my current video driver anyone know how to deal with this?

Can you try running cpufrequtils and see if you can change it from there.

I use it to play supertuxkart and i have to move my mouse to avoid blank screen management [05:33] myersg, You don't need to manually provide it more RAM. If you're running out of it, increase your system RAM. [05:33] 2 gb, but the os only reads 1.7, and it normaly uses 1.2 [05:34] I cant add more ram hardware. [05:34] 2gigs should be enough if you are only running chrome or firefox [05:34] and im on a netbook [05:34] and if you have swap that will be your virtual ram [05:35] is 8gb enough for linux? [05:35] Sheldon23, Alright, They are both set to 2Ghz now, Thanks very much man :) [05:35] StarryNight: no [05:35] but its slow, cant I give a program more virtual memory? === branant_ is now known as branant [05:35] myersg: the program can assign it in the settings usually at least i can do that in firefox [05:36] myersg: firefox has a about:config where you can tweak stuff like that not sure about chrome [05:36] can you help me with firefox with it?

[05:40] myersg: how are you testing? [05:40] what do you mean? [05:40] myersg, is this in a virtual machine?

So I don't have that app. Is there a name I can search for in the log directory [05:48] I dont want vnc server versions, because thats just useless. I can VNC to my own Ubuntu machine [05:48] plustax: this is probably not the correct #, go look around on xda [05:48] mongo okay thanks [05:48] <_ProtekNickz> Silversong: hace you tired to apt-get via terminal for the driversupdating list first then install? [05:48] but my netbook is slow, can I do anything like ready boost for windows? [05:48] on linux? [05:48] myersg: put ubuntu 10.10 on it [05:49] that will fix all of your issues. [05:49] windows FTL [05:49] myersg: log in with "ubuntu 2d" [05:49] why 10.10? it's outdated [05:49] that will use 2d accelerated menues etc.. [05:49] Silversong: I do not understand your reasoning. I mean... I don't have to... but I believe that you are better off installing the supported version. You should, frankly, have a notifier in desktop which tells you that the third party driver is available. [05:49] plustax, thats an unsupported version, dont recommend that [05:49] _ProtekNickz: I'm new to Ubuntu (not even a week, lol, hence noob :P) How do I do that? I just want to get unity 3d with this proprietary driver, which someone told me would do the trick. I'm on 2d right now.

I suppose 11.10 will work great too [05:50] i'd just go ahead and put 12.04 on [05:50] L3tops: Honestly, I just cannot find .40 anywhere on Google lol [05:51] <_ProtekNickz> well what Letops just said [05:51] well it depends.

[05:54] kris07: maybe [05:54] myersg: unity will run fine on your netbook, but I imagine youll have a bit of lag with gnome 3 [05:54] netbooks are useless tbh. [05:54] Silversong: you will want to drop to tty2 (ctrl alt f2) sudo service kdm stop; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current if you canot find the third party software notifier nag (sorry, I never see it so cant help you find... but maybe someone here can) [05:55] all right.

I call it my laptop [06:01] kris07: i see might try the laptop testing group on launchpad [06:01] yes. and that's what makes tables useless.. [06:01] i bet they would know as that is a popular laptop [06:01] *ts [06:01] Kaleidoscope: it runs fine on mplayer ( it doesnt turn black on plat=ying) [06:01] myersg: if you want to try, a tabbed window manager like wmii could be good, if you have a keyboard. [06:01] Honestly, it took me a while to find a use for my tablet. [06:01] it just my OS cant respect the joystick input [06:01] But I found that it IS easier than carting my laptop around [06:01] and android pwns [06:02] it only recognize mouse and keyboard, not joystick [06:02] safridzal, then you may be out of luck, I'm not sure you can set Power manager to recognize joysticks [06:02] goddard: I'll give it a shot. I just figured that that script would do the trick if I could get it to work [06:02] crizis: found it but it don't recognize the second card, not sure why [06:03] Kaleidoscope: ok, thanks..will search on others chann [06:03] :D [06:03] safridzal, if you can, you could have mplayer running in the background on mute whilst you play Tuxcart [06:03] Kaleidoscope: lol [06:03] but its nice trick i think [06:03] Sheldon23.

[06:10] glioros: sudo service cron start, should say that it's already running [06:10] cat interixlink prints the plain text and not the linked file [06:10] and whatever it is running, you can edit with crontab -e [06:11] crizis: 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 answer [06:12] well, plesk is a commercial closed panel so they should give support for it [06:12] not really an ubuntu issue [06:12] glioros: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto <-- has some helpful information on cronjobs [06:12] glioros: thats a server matter you might try #ubuntu-server or contact plesk which provides support for their platform [06:13] glioros, don't forget to confirm whether cron is really running by executing ps -C cron or ps -ef | grep cron [06:13] i 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. === LKJ_ is now known as Guest31422 [06:14] glioros: my friends hosting company runs cpanel, it's far from trouble free too :P ui is also pretty nightmarish...

[06:34] Silversong, 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] go to your X desktop. run 'jockey-gtk' and see what drivers it suggests and can auto install for you [06:35] can u help me please?

[06:36] sorry for my english guys [06:37] Silversong: and its Not ./whatever its just 'jockey-gtk' [06:37] oh [06:37] Silversong: in the menuis its called 'addational drivers' i belive [06:37] Tamoxin, do you see anything before the blank screen? [06:37] yes [06:37] What do you see? [06:37] "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." [06:37] a kind of words [06:38] but they [06:38] and does it suggest insgtalling some? [06:38] dr_willis ^That's what I got earlier from clicking on Additional Drivers within System Settings [06:38] wait i dont know how to say it [06:38] dr_willis: No it doesn't say anything else [06:38] within terminal it got some 'icon_set != NULL' failed [06:38] Silversong: you are not using one of those machines that has optimus dual nvidia and intel gfx chipsets are you? whats your exact video chipset? [06:38] the words dissapear too fast [06:39] as fast than i cant read it [06:39] Tamoxin, try restarting your computer. Hold down SHIFT the entire time. [06:39] * woozly nice [06:39] with the usb plugged in? [06:39] That will probably bring you to a menu -- probably the menu for GRUB, which is a bootloader. [06:39] dr_willis: How do I find that out? I just know my graphics card :| [06:39] when in 12.04.1 release? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [06:40] oh lol [06:40] Silversong: and whats your gfx card? is this a laptopo or desktop? [06:40] July 19th, reading fail [06:40] Tamoxin, start your computer up as if you were going to use Ubuntu, and hold down shift until the GRUB menu appears. [06:40] and then?

[06:42] dr_willis: a week old [06:42] nope [06:42] if i have a lost icon meaning it doesn't have a binary file attached to it how can i remove it? [06:43] Silversong: id bet it has that optimus dual gpu setup. so its using the intel video card right now. which is why its not seeing the nvidia card. [06:43] Found the problem. [06:43] The optical drive was causing things to hang up somehow [06:43] ata7.00: failed command: IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE [06:43] Silversong: you could check trhe output of 'lspci' and see if it mentions a intel video chipset [06:43] maybe i dint explain me [06:44] what i want to do is to star ubuntu as a live cd to install it but [06:44] brand new laptops are normally the most problematic things to install ubuntu on. [06:44] i start it in my usb [06:44] unless its those new dells [06:44] Tamoxin: the live cd has a nomodeset option thjjat can helpo you if the graphics is not correct.

[06:45] but when i restar my computer there only appear a black screen an then it change to red too fast and then it change again to black [06:45] Or would you rather talk here? [06:45] Silversong: but you dident really say anything.. :) and im at work. so i may have to leave at any time. best to talk in the channel [06:45] let me read the article [06:46] okay [06:46] i'll screen capture [06:46] lspci | grep vga --: shpould show video card info [06:46] Silversong: use the pastebinit command/feature. [06:46] I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask this, but I need some Ubuntu-related advice [06:46] lspci | grep VGA (or was it vga?) [06:47] Just advice, not technical support [06:47] dr_willis: do you know how to delete old icons ... I have an nvidia settings icon that launches nothing and ive remove the nvidia drivers [06:47] goddard: find its .desktop file and remove it. [06:47] amm guys [06:47] dr_willis: pastebin.com/jv80sxrN [06:47] Please take a look. [06:47] when i try to start whit the live cd i cant see anything [06:48] its suppose that there would be a start up screen but there is nothing [06:48] So yes I do see NVIDIA [06:49] anyone know a good howto for getting 2 video adapters and 2 monitors working, i guess as two different desktops? i tried the command lines for two monitors but it doesn't see the second video card [06:49] i should see this image http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png [06:49] but i cant [06:49] Silversong: look again.. there is BOTH an intel and an nnvidia. so id bet it is one of those Optimus setups [06:50] Tamoxin, I don't know what to say. Did you verify the md5 hash of the livecd installation media? [06:50] bigpapa: 2 differnt video card/chipsets? what chipsets? [06:50] whats that? [06:50] Dr_willis: amd HD 6850 video cards [06:51] dr_willis: Does that mean I have two video cards and I'm using the crappy one of the two? [06:51] hi [06:51] bigpapa: 2 ati cards.. :) at least its not an ati and an nvidia.. I dont know how well ati supports multi ccard/monitor setups - ive only done it with nvidia, rarely [06:51] dr_willis: -___- lol [06:51] Silversong: youa re using the intel one.. which gives you more battery life i imagine [06:51] i am unable to activate wifi, i have hp g6 with ubuntu 12.04 [06:51] dr_willis: where are those at buddy? [06:51] network manger reports wifi is disabled by hardware switch [06:52] Tamoxin, my suggestion would be to try re-downloading the livecd [06:52] goddard: try 'locate .desktop' there are tons of them. [06:52] dr_willis: I see. So I should install a proprietary driver for THAT instead, right? [06:52] Silversong: intel drivers are included by default. :) [06:52] Silversong: thats why intel is so awsome.. [06:52] i had downloaded it trhee times [06:53] dr_willis: Hehe, I like Intel as well [06:53] Tamoxin, try a livecd - not a liveusb [06:53] Tamoxin: verify the downloads. if they dont verify.. no point in going on.. [06:53] dr_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] once the alternate version and twice the normal version [06:54] i cant use live cd cuz i have a netbook [06:54] Silversong: intel drivers are included by default. :) there IS no proptiatry driver for them [06:54] this is a headhache cuz there is no problem whit other distributions like linux mint [06:54] Silversong: my netbook does 3d using the normal drivers on intel hardware [06:54] but i dont like it [06:54] dr_willis: Ha. Yes. I clicked on the NVIDIA X Server Settings, and it said "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [06:54] Silversong: but your laptop is sooo new - it may have some issues [06:55] Silversong: the optimius feature is a work in progress.. i have never used it.

I'm never playing any 3D games on my laptop. Unity 3D is as 3D as I'm gonna get, lol [06:56] ok [06:57] and then? [06:57] Silversong: no need to worry about the nvidia stuff if unitty3d works on the intel side [06:57] hey guys quick question if my computer breaks but my files are hosted by this computer through ubuntu one can i redownload them on a different computer [06:57] 'hosted by this computer through ubuntu' You mean they are on the local machine? [06:57] As long as the UbuntuOne sync has been recently done. [06:57] dr_willis: im trying to purge a manually install nvidia driver or any left overs of the installed driver [06:58] files hosted on this computer, using ubuntu one [06:58] vexavx: yes you cam [06:58] if this computer breaks [06:58] goddard: theres most likely some nvidia-settings.desktop file somewhere then. [06:58] i can..cool [06:58] thank you [06:58] dr_willis: it doesn't. [06:58] no wait [06:58] dr_willis: I did echo $DESKTOP_SESSION [06:58] dr_willis: i was getting an API mismatch [06:58] unity-2d [06:58] or ubuntu-2d [06:58] vexaxv: they are not 'hosted' on that machine... they are on the U1 servers.. and synced back to that machine as needed [06:58] vexavx: hosted on your computer or in ubuntu one?

"RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller" ?? Da qualche tempo a questa parte ho seri problemi, nel senso, rileva la connessione, prende l indirizzo da dhcp, è pingabile e tutto, ma stranamente, ogni tanto è come se si freezasse, smette di rispondere e di ricevere, persino wireshark si ferma.... anche se i l [06:59] ed della scheda continuano a lampeggiare [06:59] Will PXE boot work if the server is on wireless while the client is wired? (both are connected to the same router) === tdubellz is now known as tdubella [06:59] Silversong: very likely some issue with the intel drivers and how new that laptop is. Intel hardware should be able to do unity3d. [07:00] dr_willis: so apparently laptop being NEW is a bad thing :( d'aww [07:00] Silversong: thats always been the case.. [07:00] dr_willis: are their prop. drivers for intel cards? [07:00] Silversong: ive said they are included... several times now.. ;) [07:00] Will PXE boot work if the tftp/bootp server is on wireless while the client is wired? (both are connected to the same router/network) [07:00] there MAY be updated intel drivers you can get.. but with a laptop that just came out last week it may be too new for them. [07:01] Silversong: so i say check the forums and askubuntu.com for info about that exact make of laptop [07:01] Sorry, i ve confused this chan with #ubuntu-it, anyway: Someone have got some problem with a "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd." "RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller" on LMDE? the card seems to work nicely but its like it freeze (no ping, no troughtput) wireshark also stops to log packet when this happens, anybody have got a similar issue? how do I control the driver module? there are some alternative drivers to use for that? [07:01] Silversong: its also possible you can disable the intel. and enable the nvidia in the bios. [07:01] Thanks! [07:03] dr_willis: I just checked forum, someone said to do this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only [07:03] Not sure what it does but it's kinda scary [07:03] updated x - whoch would included the updated intel drivers.. [07:04] i always buy my laptops on clearance.. so they are at least a few months old. :) [07:04] ammm guys [07:04] md5sum are the same [07:05] Tamoxin: you burnt a cd? or useing a usb? [07:06] i use usb cuz i cant use cd in my notbook [07:07] how did you make the usb? [07:08] with universal usb installer in windows [07:08] i had tried once in linux [07:08] so it boots.. but you get a black screen? [07:08] yes [07:08] so have you tried the nomodeset option thats been mentioned? [07:08] no wait [07:09] no boota [07:09] boots [07:09] i mean [07:09] I have tried everything I can't get this old nvidia driver out how can I fix it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11946301#post11946301 [07:09] goddard: more is left behind then just an icon?? [07:09] when i restart i should see a ubuntu start up screen [07:10] dr_willis: apparently although i dont know what is being referenced [07:10] goddard: is there nvidia in /usr/lib ? === Sary is now known as s1 [07:10] saying : if you want to try it or install it [07:10] but i cant see it [07:10] Tamoxin: when you boot up. there should be several menus yes. theres an screen that has a 'man=keyboard' image thats the screen you hit space (i think) on to get into the options to enable nomodeset [07:10] Tamoxin: ths nomodeset option is is BEFOR that try/install screen [07:10] but there is nothing [07:11] read up at the !nomodeset factoid site and see how to enable nomodeset [07:11] if that fails.. im out of ideas [07:11] is there any package like "Google Earth" for linux?

[07:13] or was that just for chrome [07:13] how do I find the "key number" of an apt key?

[07:17] dr_willis, it is not available for download... [07:17] dr_willis, there's only the .bin file available for download @ google.com [07:17] sajimon: i see that same issue mentioned in here befor. never seen a definituve fix. the forums or askubuntu.com may have some hits on the issue [07:17] anyone knows how I can do the following: Scan the auth.log and check for entries which contain 'authentication failure' and block those IPs after 3 bad tries. [07:18] I was using denyhosts but somehow, portmap was eating up around 2GB of RAM. So I was thinking on doing this with iptables. [07:18] more auth.log | grep 'authentication failure' > newauth.log [07:18] ndee,more auth.log | grep 'authentication failure' > newauth.log [07:19] something like that [07:19] ah, I found fail2ban :D [07:19] f`ckJustinBieber: the download link at that url gives me a .deb to download. [07:19] dr_willis, can't find it, will you please paste it for me?! [07:20] the button at the bottom of the 'agreement page' send me the .deb i dident do anything special === Wesley is now known as wesley [07:20] http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html [07:20] any one can help me, How can read,send and my email using terminal in ubuntu? [07:20] this generates me a .bin file [07:20] i am on my android phone. :) so it may be seeing im on 'linux' [07:21] f`ckJustinBieber: what os/browser are you using? [07:21] it sees I'm on linux but it provides me the bin file [07:21] dr_willis, firefox on debian [07:22] should be some site/ftp/url that has a menu for all of them. [07:22] but im on my phone. :) so browsing is a bit hard for me [07:22] i cant see/get the exact url of the download either. [07:23] thanks dr_willis, I'll try with different browsers, otherwise I'll get someone to generate a mirror for me [07:25] google erth ppa -- http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_earth [07:26] the google earth wiki page for ubuntu also mentions some extra packages that may be needed for the .bin to work properly [07:27] medibuntu also may have a google earth repo setup.

After an update and a restart When I log back in I see that my gnome panel is gray instead of transparent and although all the buttons work it has the words File Edit Veiw Bookmarks Help on the panel, like the ones from firefox. [07:29] goddamn it dr_willis , when I browse the google earth download site with my ip, .deb package is not available, but when I use a proxy I can download it [07:29] but those buttons dont work [07:29] I'm now downloading it @ 10Kilobytes per sec, lol [07:29] just part of the background for the panel [07:30] hello!!!

[07:39] Vooloo, capital B is Bytes [07:39] cclove, no [07:40] BlackWeb, I have not seen one, there is one to move the left panel to the bottom though. [07:41] alright as far as color theme is there a app to change the color [07:44] I'll play with it a little more, thanks wilee-nilee [07:45] BlackWeb, cool the color is a tough one, there are themes a very limited amount on board but more on the web [07:46] webupd8 ppa has some nice themes [07:46] I forget where the themes are on the install I have been usuing gnome-shell [07:46] they tend to have the 'best of the breed' ;) [07:47] dr_willis, lotsa good stuff from them. [07:47] i just play with the theme selection stuff till get a combo i like, [07:47] often i cant duplicate the same look on a differnt box. ;) [07:47] dr_willis, i know where your name comes from now ;) [07:48] it comes from somewhere? [07:48] is there away to make so, when i install a app then it doesnt automatically place it on the launcher, which i removed a tweeking program from launcher and now having hard time finding through dock./menu [07:48] It is a character from Ghost in the Shell actually.

I cannot connect to my access point anymore [07:50] IRC was around? Or was it the older bulletin board? [07:50] BlackWeb: if you rember the name you can use the Big button/dash or hud to search for it [07:51] bawig1: wireless works fine here.. what wireless device do you have? [07:51] Earliest irc i recall was in about 1986 - was on bbs;s befor that, [07:51] cant really remember, going through my installed packages to try to find it, [07:51] anyways, 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] bawig1: some do, and we laugh at them [07:52] tomboy had notes in .config/ perhaps? i dont use tomboy any more since u1 stopped syncing them [07:52] 01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [07:52] find and locate are main ways i searh from terminal. ;) [07:53] alusion: that zetgiest thing is supposed to save a history of what apps you have ran also. [07:53] whats the difference? [07:53] locate uses a database and is faster.. find is more current [07:53] find has some amazeing features [07:53] found it [07:53] the 3G still works but for some reason I cannot get a working connection [07:54] *802.11g/n [07:54] is there a way to make the dash more like the gnome menu, i find it easier to browse program right now through cairo-docks menu [07:54] hi, does anyone uses backtrack 5!? [07:54] the guys in #backtrack-linux do [07:55] how can I output the results into something else?

[08:04] alusion: You want to modify your bash configuration (~/.bashrc), there should be an example file in /etc/bashrc or somewhere. Let me check. [08:04] alusion: Yeah, `cat /etc/bash.bashrc' to see it [08:04] sauvin: ps, top, don't know if you can view the output of the update command now [08:05] How should I edit it?

[08:05] dr_willis: I got it working :) [08:05] I use gedit [08:05] dr_willis: I didn't realize I was using this new technology from like less than 3 weeks ago. I had to install the April 30th version of Bumblebee 3.0.2 [08:05] alusion: Then type `gedit ~/.bashrc' at the command prompt :) [08:05] :) [08:05] (Or open the file `~/.bashrc [08:05] ' from gedit) [08:06] Very cool! [08:06] Silversong: consider yoruself lucky it works at all... ;) [08:06] dr_willis: why? [08:06] Silversong: i see people in here daily with massive bumblebee issues === k is now known as Guest34842 [08:07] dr_willis: f**k. Did I fall into some kind of trap? Lol. Should I not have installed it? [08:07] alusion: Now, we want to *see* the example script (in `/etc/bash.bashrc') so we can copy the good parts across (alternatively, you could just open the `/etc/bash.bashrc' in gedit, then save it as `~/.bashrc' [08:07] the deveelopment of that tool is progessing at a very very rapiid pace is whats going on Silversong [08:07] Silversong: its not the tool thats the issue.. its nvidia not supporting linux thats the problem [08:07] I just want to include a custom ascii art to greet me [08:08] =) [08:08] dr_willis: Oh. I thought they're going to [08:08] alusion: you really should alter your users bash files not the system wide ones..

Since we have clarified *this* issue, if you have any further questions, please come to `#ubuntu-offtopic' and ask :) [08:11] Silversong: if you read the artical.. it says that nvidia the company is not supporting it.. so all this bumblebee stuff and so forth has been created by the linux community.. not 'nvidia' [08:11] does unity work with 1204 for multimonitor setups, for anyone? [08:11] well yeah I know, but as long as it works, right? [08:11] :) [08:11] Silversong: so 'they' as in 'nvidia' still are being jerks about it as far as ive read, ;) [08:11] no... they NEED to support linux.. [08:12] cuz MOST of the people in this world are NOOBS [08:12] I am going intel for my next laptop i imagine. [08:12] and they use $1500 facebook machines (lol macbook pro) or windows [08:12] nvidia and ati both give a lot of lip-service to linux. but then just shrug us off. [08:12] but that's the big money pool [08:12] and when it omes to nvidia, it's all about $$$ [08:13] dr_willis: more like protecting millions of investment :) Intel doesn't have better drivers I read. [08:13] dr_willis: what laptop you use now? [08:13] i got a $150 netbook i got on clerance at xmas time. :) [08:13] gave my Big-monster 20lb gaming laptop to my brother [08:14] intel hardware is catching up with what most people need for '3d' - so ive been reading. ati and nvidia both should be watching out. ;l) [08:15] dr_willis: do you work for intel? lol [08:15] it sounds like you're some kind of boss there [08:15] I work for chrysler.

[08:16] such as MIPS? do you use that/ [08:17] Hmm.. maybe someone here can give me some insight, fresh install of ubuntu precise nginx and php-fpm and my shopping cart checkout button seems disabled now..

[08:21] hey how do I force-quit a program? [08:21] like you know how you end-task under Processes tab in Windows Task Manager [08:22] Silversong: kill -9 [08:22] Silversong: Open up a separate terminal, type `xkill' and select the program you want to kill. [08:22] Alternatively, use NimeshNeema's approach. [08:22] Silversong: or use system monitor [08:23] I just installed Brightside but not able to figure out how to start it ? [08:24] error says Could not load support for bonobo [08:24] OKAY I am starting to run into troubles with Bumblebee! [08:24] lol [08:24] Silversong: whats bumblebee? [08:25] A robot. :D [08:25] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee KM0201 [08:26] Silversong: so whats the point of it? [08:26] it's soemthing that helps nVIDIA Optimus run on Linux [08:26] handling dual intel/nvidia cards i think [08:26] oh ok [08:26] my laptop has 2 video cards, one nVIDIA and one Intel [08:26] the intel one runs low-grade graphics, saving power and less overheat [08:27] boosts up nVIDIA card when it's needed [08:27] if it even works at the most basic level - bumble is amazeing. ;) [08:27] It's choppy [08:27] i dident think it choudl change on the 'fly' - yoiu had to somehow pick one or the other [08:28] but again.. ive only skimmed the docs and artoicals about it. ive never really used it [08:28] hi [08:28] hi [08:29] I am connected to a wireless network with my laptop (internal wifi card) and now I want to share that network through my wireless USB, how can I do that ? [08:33] Hello 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] altin: you should be able to setup an ad-hoc network [08:33] Maybe even a gedit module. [08:34] RawProduce, but If I do that I get disconnected form the network I am getting internet from [08:34] maybe try and bridge the connections? [08:34] Josssse: welcome to cloud computing [08:35] Josssse: you could always setup a git repo and have a daemon commit every 5 minutes xD [08:35] auronandace, :) [08:35] RawProduce, What is a git repo? [08:36] Josssse: git is a version control system - software developers use it [08:36] Hey, 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] it's trivial to setup, though [08:37] I'm sure there's a simpler way to solve your problem, though [08:37] try dropbox === griselda is now known as spex971 [08:39] Josssse: 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. [08:40] chu, do you recommend a git for me? [08:40] Would it be a good Idea to have it run every five minutes? [08:41] is there a way to add the DVD ISO as a repo on ubuntu ? [08:42] Josssse: 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] chu, heh, Git is the git. Sorry. [08:42] REK_007: an ISO? probably. [08:42] you'd have to mount the ISO, then add it to your repository list [08:43] KM0201: yeah an ISO [08:43] KM0201: i have mounted the ISO on /cdrom [08:43] chu, What do you mean by naive script, could be painful?? [08:43] ok, what happens when you try to add it to synaptic? [08:43] but sources still dont recognize it [08:43] Josssse: if your information is not sensitive, you could use github - they host git repositories (repo's) for free [08:44] Josssse: 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] when i try add volume on sources it says "Could not find a suitable CD." KM0201 [08:44] hmm [08:44] RawProduce, Thanks! [08:45] chu: "git push" on a repo with no changes yields "Everything up-to-date" [08:45] I don't think that's as much of an issue as you expect [08:45] REK_007: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4694/how-to-use-a-iso-image-as-a-cd-rom-repository [08:45] RawProduce: Yep, but if you were running that every 5 minutes it's stealing your valuable cpu cycles [08:45] chu, 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] true [08:45] But I think git is exactly what I need. [08:46] Josssse: Git is pretty amazing. [08:46] KM0201: i tried that only didnt work .. so came on IRC [08:46] hmm [08:46] http://pastie.org/3900027 [08:46] Josssse: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/420143/making-git-auto-commit [08:46] exactly what you need for a non-naive script [08:46] Hehe. [08:47] REK_007: i dunno, did you try all the suggestions on that page? (there's several that people say work) [08:47] yeah i tried all of them so far none have worked for me [08:50] REK_007: have you tried juergen's instructions.. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19378.html that looks more logicalt o me (if that doesn't work, i dunno) [08:51] KM0201: I added the path manually ... Get:1 file: precise Release.gpg [198 B] Get:2 file: precise Release [4,595 B] [08:51] is this supposed to be working then? [08:51] it looks like it. [08:51] cool then :) [08:52] REK_007: you got that when you ran apt-get update? [08:52] yeah KM0201 [08:52] RawProduce, 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] then i would say it probably worked [08:52] cool :) [08:52] Josssse: Do you use LyX for LaTeX? [08:53] REK_007: try disconnecting someething from the internet, and see if you can install something that is on the repo. [08:53] chu, No. What's lyx? [08:53] KM0201: yeah trying that [08:53] Josssse: 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 changes === Jens is now known as Guest71271 [08:54] Josssse: Just a WYSIWYG-esque LaTeX editor :) (I'm in the same boat, I mainly just write latex files) === Guest71271 is now known as jbache [08:56] KM0201: nope not working [08:56] chu, I just apt-get lyx to check it out. Normally I just use latexila. [08:56] hm, i have no idea, just burn it to a CD i guess, or use the online repos [08:56] Never heard of latexila :) [08:56] hello, i'm using glade-gtk2 in Ubuntu 12.04 and after creating i.e GtkWindow I want to insert Menubar and I cannot see it. Anyone seen such bug/feature. Nothing found in google... [08:57] RawProduce, I'm still trying to figure out how git works. Then I'll try to tweek it. :) [08:57] It's so cool to be back doing computer stuff. [08:59] wget & axel dont work [08:59] error:http://pastie.org/3900027 [09:00] Hi all [09:00] hey [09:00] KM0201: Got i working clean :) mounted and symlinked to /media/apt now it shows up in sources :) [09:01] How do I change the login sound in ubuntu 12.04? [09:01] Did the process change perhaps [09:01] I have my .ogg file ready [09:01] whats up [09:01] alusion: ive heard there can be some nasty issues when messing with the login sound. Like lightdm not logging in normal users.. [09:02] http://pastie.org/3900027 [09:02] What is lightdm? [09:02] ubuntu's default login manager. the one where you type in your password when you login.. [09:02] i disabled the login sound with ubuntu-tweak and lightdm dident like it. ;) not sure if ubuntuii--tweak has a tool to change the sound [09:02] gdm worked however. [09:02] hi guys, can someone link me a giude to make 12.04 gnome like? by italian userXD [09:03] rico: for somthing that specific. id think google would give faster rewults [09:03] !nounity [09:03] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [09:03] I have a 15 second clip, is it too long ? [09:03] the omgubuntu and webupd8 sites had some guides on making 12.04 gnome-2ish [09:04] thanks [09:04] and those are two sites I'd avoid like the plague [09:04] alusion: no idea. i find that sound a stupid idea and turn it off [09:06] if you're going to make ubuntu-2ish you may as well install a different distribution and not fight with it [09:06] or move on to better things ;) [09:10] yeah like the kde3 trinity fork === a is now known as Guest21613 [09:11] windowmaker the next generation. ;) [09:11] Or the next rebirth of Enlightment with even uglier defaults! ;P [09:12] hi [09:12] hi [09:12] helloo [09:12] can someone help me with a ubuntu problem? [09:12] Guest21613: you need to ask a question [09:13] what the problem? [09:13] after upgrading to ubuntu 12.04 I can no longer save file as by using alt+left click [09:13] same for all browsers, so i know its a ubuntu problem [09:14] I didn't know you could save with alt+left click [09:14] welcome to the ubuntu family. regular regressions are free [09:14] sounds more like a compiz/unity taking a keybinding.. but im not at a pc right now [09:15] actually it is save link as when you press alt + left click normally [09:15] I thought alt-click in a browser oopened in a new tab [09:15] i tried compiz but i dont get it really [09:15] no luck as of yet [09:15] alt-click also normally starts the X 'move window' feature [09:16] ALT-Leftclick is an X function and moves windows [09:16] gr too slow [09:16] really? [09:16] ;) old skool X ussage. [09:17] Guest21613: since ages [09:17] been an X feature for years. I got tools in windows that addst the features there as well [09:17] well when i had ubuntu 11.xx alt+left click = save link as [09:17] 'move by clicking anywhere in any window' [09:17] i want to restore this [09:18] anybody? [09:18] booting into the single user mode cannot handle fstabs with mounts that are not availabel [09:18] lapion: it can [09:18] lapion: it should just error/warn you that they could not be mounted [09:18] (unless it's the root file system) [09:19] I have 3 cifs fs mounted from fstab.. will not continue pas file check [09:19] dr_willis how do i disable 'move by clicking anywhere in any window' [09:19] lapion: they should do if you boot single user mode [09:19] ikonia, same if the /home fs is mounted from a different hdd [09:19] lapion: nah, it's fine, [09:19] nope ikonia [09:19] Guest21613: no idea. never wanted to. never tried, You may want to check askubuntu,com about your left-click-save thing. ive never noticed that feature [09:20] just booted my laptop into single user mode with an NFS share missing [09:20] ]try with a home fs missing [09:20] ok [09:20] ikonia now start up network or do a fsck [09:20] ok thank you dr_willis [09:20] lapion: thats not single user mode [09:20] if you start networking, it's not single user mode [09:21] either way.. as soon as the system wants to do a fsck it doesn't continue [09:21] yeah it was always the same for windows and ubuntu but just changed for 12.04. seems crazy to reinstall 11 just because of keybinding issues [09:21] and single user networking is not multiuser networking [09:21] anyone else awake still? [09:22] I have to go into the shell start networking up and then do mount all fs read-write [09:23] lapion: what are you doing ? I don't understand [09:23] singleuser + networking = multi user, [09:23] why are you trying to start network, what is your end goal ? [09:23] i always just right click on links to do things to them [09:25] ikonia, the problem is that if one of the filesystems in fstab is missing the system cannot be maintained in recovery mode [09:25] it can [09:25] I'm just testing your /home issue [09:26] Guest21613: seems to be some firefox extensions that do the alt-click save feature... [09:26] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/saveLinkOnALT-Click/ [09:27] hi 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] ikonia, did you do a cold start of the laptop ? [09:27] ikonia, or did you simply revert to single user mode from multi-usermode ? [09:28] lapion: I'm doing it on a different machine, one moment, [09:28] lapion: I can't drop /home on my laptop, so I'm testing on a different machine, [09:28] I'll be with you in a moment [09:28] is there way i can reclaim those 900MB of ram used by gnome-panel? [09:31] ggg === luka is now known as Guest41867 [09:33] HI! [09:33] moo! [09:33] dr_willis, what? [09:33] http://pastie.org/3900027 [09:34] wget & axel dont work [09:36] sigh, you were right, changing the login sounds was a bad idea [09:36] Haha [09:37] alusion: ;) let me guess.. users login and it just hangs? [09:37] yes.. [09:37] lol [09:37] You can use GDM instead of lightdm.and they can still login [09:38] Ehh w/e I think my computer is pretty sweet right now [09:38] ikonia do you have network mount set for automount ? [09:38] wanna see ;) [09:38] i dont worry too muchabout themes ;) [09:38] I am still trying to find where my tomboy notes are stored from a backup I made >.< [09:38] Can anyone help me with this ? http://pastebin.com/JZiNzLDV [09:38] Igot my 'My Little Pony' Wallpaper.. its all i need. [09:39] I need this fast. :P [09:39] ಠ_ಠ [09:40] Anyone? I am trying to install skype. [09:41] lapion: the nfs stuff, yes [09:41] lapion: just setting up changing /home now [09:41] Steevca: what is the problem? [09:41] chu, I get a error openin .nano_history file permission denied when i run git commit, why is git even wanting to open that file? [09:42] ikonia, and you did select the fsck option from the menu ? [09:42] lapion: menu ? I just booted into single user mode, that's just a command prompt [09:42] what does sudo apt-get upgrade do for me that update doesn't? [09:42] alusion: update just gets the List of pacakges TO upgrade [09:43] upgrade does the real work [09:43] Josssse: What directory did you initialise git in? [09:43] update the list, then upgrade the system [09:43] ikonia by single user mode I meant system recovery mode.. which used to be the same as setting single at the grub prompt .. [09:43] hi [09:43] KM0201: I gave a paste bin file. [09:44] lapion: recovery mode tries to be too clever, actually try single user mode [09:44] I am trying out upgrade then :o [09:44] ok.. [09:44] Are there any other repositories one would recommend for ubuntu [09:44] well 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 there [09:45] alusion: i guess that would depend if somethying you want is not in th default repos [09:45] !partner [09:45] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [09:45] chu, home [09:45] I have a broken package i can't remove. I tried sudo apt-get remove,clean,autoremove,-f nothing works. [09:46] lapion: right, so the issue isn't with single user mode, it's with the recovery shell option [09:46] Josssse: Not sure, but you could add the file .nano_history to the .gitignore file. [09:46] Steevca: so what exactly is your problem w/ installing skype? [09:46] ikonia, I'm sorry for confusing things.. [09:46] KM0201: i get this http://pastebin.com/JZiNzLDV [09:47] lapion: 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 bug [09:47] lapion: personally I don't think there should be a recovery shell [09:47] Steevca: that looks like a problem w/ the package [09:47] install it from the repositories... add the partner repo, and apt-get install skype [09:48] KM0201: How? [09:48] Give me the terminal command. [09:48] !partner | Steevca then after you add the repository, sudo apt-get update let it finish, then sudo apt-get upgrade [09:48] Steevca then after you add the repository, sudo apt-get update let it finish, then sudo apt-get upgrade: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications.

[09:51] Steevca_: well, with the new version of ubuntu, it's a little different, something about the way it wants to use 32bit libraries, or something [09:52] So what do i do?

You may want to check the forums and bug repoorts and askubuntu.com to see if any mention yiour laptops. and possible work arounds [10:01] do you have a link to the web site?

[10:07] Also, why doesn't the Unity launcher show up when using the Synergy client? [10:11] hi i am facing issue with memory leakage [10:11] if i run vlc, i see the memory usage constantly rising up [10:12] how can i debug which process is eating up memory [10:12] ServerCrash: well, think about it, you run vlc, you see the memory rising [10:12] you don't run vlc, do you see the memory rising ? [10:12] nopes [10:13] ServerCrash: ok, so by that baisc deduction, what is taking the ram [10:13] but when i run vlc, the memory used by VLC remains same [10:13] basic [10:13] ServerCrash: that's not surprising [10:13] it doesnt change, but total memory used by system keeps increasing [10:13] ServerCrash: ok, again, not massivly surprising [10:13] trololilooloolooolo [10:13] sup? [10:13] kalle: only warning - stop now [10:13] Hey guys! I'm on ubuntu 2d and wonder if it is still possible to roll up the window as default in Enlightenment? [10:14] ikonia, nothing to surprise here, what i am trying is to figure out whats consuming memory if not VLC [10:14] kalle: this is an ubuntu technical discusion channel. Please keep to that topic [10:14] ServerCrash: why do you think it's not vlc ? [10:14] ServerCrash: you run vlc - memory goes up you don't run vlc, memory doesn't go up [10:14] ikonia, its related to VLC, but VLC app is not consuming directly [10:14] look at it from that basic level... [10:14] ServerCrash: that is not surprising [10:14] ubuntu is using a PAE kernel what does it mean? [10:14] kalle: google:) [10:14] Anyone? [10:14] ServerCrash: if an application is eating memory it can eat it without changing size [10:15] sirriffsalot: don't tell people to google [10:15] ikonia: why not?:P [10:15] sirriffsalot: but that logic - google your own problem, good luck [10:15] ikonia: I have, couldn't find anything;) [10:15] ikonia, thx, looking for better solution to figure out which specific application is using memory [10:15] kalle: it's a a "large memory" kernel [10:15] google is evil i will never use it [10:15] sirriffsalot: google better then [10:15] ikonia ty [10:15] kalle: google is not eveil - however, I have now answered your question [10:16] ServerCrash: why are you not accepting that vlc is eating the memory [10:16] ServerCrash: what makes you think it's not vlc ? [10:16] because the VLC process is using constant memory, but for sure its causing issue to some of the system process, which is now eating up memory [10:16] google is evil they are monitoring everything u do on the web with a google widget on the site but lets keep to the topic [10:17] so i need to figure out if its dbus or some other daemon thats eating up memory [10:17] I don't know if I'm going crazy but one of my partitions, I thought I had something in archives.. and now I see the user for that archives dir is now 1002 1002... who is 1002? Could it be a virus? [10:17] ServerCrash: 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 memory [10:17] ServerCrash: it's quite possible it's it's eating the ram to maintain it's size, hence why you don't see it change size === robin is now known as Guest98513 [10:18] ServerCrash: it's a user that no longer exists [10:18] ServerCrash: sorry, that was for StepNjump [10:18] StepNjump: it's a user who has been deleted from the system who had the uid 1002 [10:18] can i run my pirated copy of after effects and cod mw3? :) [10:18] kalle: do not discuss that in here [10:19] on ubuntu [10:19] ikonia: why not? [10:19] we do not discuss/support pirating in here [10:20] Well that is weird ikonia, I never created any other users.... [10:20] well, can i natively run adobe after effects on ubuntu 12.04? [10:20] Is there a way to know when that user was created? [10:20] StepNjump: an application (such as backup) can do it === Youri is now known as Iruoy [10:20] StepNjump: then if you remove that package, the user gets deleted (just for example) [10:21] kalle: no [10:21] Ok I see [10:21] Is there a possibility it could be a virus? [10:21] StepNjump: very doubtful [10:21] My memory isn't very good. I don't remember if I had something there or not [10:21] Causes a lot of stress [10:21] StepNjump: then don't worry about it [10:22] ikonia: the ubuntu sucks why would anyone use it? it got loads of virus compared to win7 ive heard, is that true? [10:22] kalle? Really? [10:22] hi [10:22] StepNjump: please ignore kalle [10:22] i can not auto mount my iphone dont know why [10:23] kelvinella: iphones have terrible linux support, their capabilities depend a lot on the ios version they are running [10:23] hi guys, what is the package name for mysql? [10:23] I suspect you have just updated to ios 5.1 [10:23] how to fix it? i need to copy the pictures and video to my pc [10:23] stars69: client or server [10:23] i am on 4.3.3 [10:23] server [10:23] ubuntu 10.10 [10:23] stars69: mysql-server [10:23] ikonia, thnaks [10:23] kelvinella: again, it depends on that ios's supportability in linux [10:23] ikonia, it works before but it doesnt work in recent weeks [10:23] kelvinella: what's changed ? [10:24] ikonia, it mounts last month [10:24] kelvinella: what's changed ? [10:24] new AMD System build. Cannot get Ubuntu 12.04 to work [10:24] WotWhere: define can't get it to work [10:24] WotWhere: or I can only say "fix it" [10:24] ikonia, dont know, i install virtualbox PEUL with usb support will it affect the automount? [10:24] kelvinella: doubtful [10:24] kelvinella: it's more likley an ubuntu to ubuntu or the iphone is an issue [10:24] kelvinella: what's changed from that point of view [10:25] kelvinella: what model iphone is it [10:25] ikonia, iphone4 [10:25] I fancy doing something fancy... fancy for me that is. I want to ping an IP and the log the results to mysql... any tips about where I should start? [10:25] kelvinella: you can't be on ios4 then [10:25] darrenlooby: ulog [10:25] ikonia, i am on ios4 [10:26] ikonia: the system boots up.. but no Sound or video playing.. hangs when i try to play anything.. SegvFaults [10:26] WotWhere: so you can boot the system and use it fine, but when you try to play a video you get no sound and it segfaults [10:27] ikonia, ios4.3.3 [10:27] kelvinella: I understand [10:27] you need to think hard about what has changed [10:27] kelvinella: something must have changed on your ubuntu system or the phone for it to just stop working [10:27] kelvinella: or try manually mounting it to get better debug out put [10:28] i have followed one of the guide on internet how to install virtualbox PEUL that has to add a line in fstab [10:28] but i delete that line already [10:28] that shouldn't be a problem [10:28] Is there a way to find out all the files I opened yesterday and where they were located? Some kind of audit system? [10:28] StepNjump: if you are running tools like tripwire already you can do that, but in terms of retrofitting them that's not going to happen [10:29] ikonia, http://xrigher.info/linux/ubuntu/enable-usb-support-in-virtualbox/ [10:29] ikonia: 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] StepNjump: you can look at "access" time stamps, but it won't be valid [10:29] kelvinella: I don't need to see the link [10:29] ikonia, i added none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=664 0 0 to fstab [10:29] WotWhere: segfaults normally = hardware problems, which in your case I'd suggest memory / cpu problems [10:29] would that affect the automount? [10:29] WotWhere: I'd run memcheck to do some tests [10:29] thanks ikonia [10:29] kelvinella: I don't blieve so, no [10:30] ikonia, but i delete it after [10:30] kelvinella: 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 time [10:30] ikonia, lsusb does show apple, tnc [10:30] inc [10:31] I understand that [10:32] ikonia: 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 drivers [10:32] WotWhere: windows working fine is not a valid test, brand new does not mean it is in full working order [10:33] WotWhere: there are possible issues with propritary drivers, disable them and see if the problem goes away [10:33] Who has experience with MAAS [10:34] ikonia: have tried that this is my 3rd day of troubleshooting, Xdiagnostics error BUG: unable to handle NULL Pointer dereference at 00..02c [10:34] triptriC [10:35] WotWhere: no point putting random lines like that, they mean nothing in context [10:36] WotWhere: so if you've disabled the propritary drivers and it's still doing it.....it won't be them [10:36] why (the hell) does alt+tab no longer switch between windows on ubuntu 12.04?! [10:36] WotWhere: which leads it back to a base hardware issue as the most likley cause (from experience) [10:36] ikonia: ok ... doing the memtest right now [10:36] WotWhere: make sure you leave it running for 24 hours or so [10:36] is there some new feature that alt+tab has on ubuntu 12.04? [10:37] and does anyone one know how to switch it back? === anonymous is now known as Guest58585 [10:37] Hello. 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] cantor: press alt+tab see if it does anything new [10:37] ikonia, nope, THATS THE THING [: [10:37] ikonia: Any benefit in running memtest for 24 hours? [10:37] it does NOTHING (cry) [10:37] melvincv: yeah, getting enough passes in to get a better idea that it's all "sound" [10:39] I'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? [10:40] I 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 reboot [10:41] have anyone here used desktop sharing? how can i make this startup automaticlly as system started? [10:41] gaelfx: Geez, I've had my share of problems with nvidia... [10:41] gaelfx: I wouldn't worry too much about it just yet, still lots of fixes to be made [10:41] gaelfx: if you can't login because of nvidia on the other hand... *shivers* [10:42] sirriffsalot: 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] ikonia, i can ssh into my iphone, do you know which path iphone saves the pictures? [10:43] kelvinella: if you can ssh into it, it's jailbroken [10:43] kelvinella: which means the standard IOS support rules go out the window [10:43] kelvinella: try ##apple for iphone help [10:43] ikonia: 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 yet [10:43] seriously, what is the best way to switch alt+tab to the original key combination? [10:44] How do I find out if something is running on a port? [10:45] DarkStar1: sudo lsof -i :portnumber [10:45] what is wrong with canonical. They need a chan for us to call them stupid in. [10:45] alt+tab, really? [10:45] k, done venting... [10:45] its jailbroken last year i can still mount it until last month, and i have an ipod touch that is not jailbroken and i can not mount it neither [10:45] kelvinella: ##apple is the best place to get help [10:45] kelvinella, did you login to the ipod? [10:45] ikonia, thx [10:46] cantor system settings, keyboard, shortcuts, navigation, switch appplications [10:46] llutz: thought so except I am getting a command not found reply :( [10:46] cantor, what do u mean login to ipod? [10:46] kelvinella, the 4 digit pin [10:46] DarkStar1: well, how about installing lsof then? [10:46] ubuntu will not see the mount until you do [10:46] cantor, i dont have password setup [10:46] k [10:46] <_skpl> can someone help me? i cant get simplescan to recognise my scanner === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [10:46] MaaS is a annoying thing : | [10:46] cantor, i can mount my ipod touch before [10:46] MonkeyDust, will try. What do I switch it to? [10:47] kelvinella, mount? or ssh? [10:47] cantor, but not now, but very strange i can mount my ipad [10:47] cantor alt-tab -- just press it, don't have to cornfirm or so [10:47] k, will try. [10:47] ikonia: AMD 8120 + msi 990fxa mobo + corsair 1600 8gb + WD 500 .. the mobo has Realtek HD Audio + Gigabyte HD7770OC.. if that has any meaning [10:47] iphone4 jb, ipod touch no jb, ipad no jb, cantor [10:47] WotWhere: none [10:48] cantor, iphone4 and ipod touch cant mount; ipad can mount [10:48] kelvinella, I have a ipod touch 4g and I can mount the pictures, not the / directory, but the DCIM folder, as long as I login [10:48] same firmware? [10:48] Im running 4.3.3 [10:48] cantor, no change to firmware before can mount and cannot mount [10:49] me on 4.3.3 too [10:49] you're not on 4.3.3 [10:49] you are using a jailbroken firmware [10:49] I am. [10:49] that is modified [10:49] ikonia, there is no difference [10:49] its not a flash of the firmware [10:49] ikonia, but what about my non-jb ipod? [10:49] its identical. All it does it sets a root password [10:49] <_skpl> can someone help me? i cant get simplescan to recognise my scanner [10:49] cantor: it does more than set a root password [10:49] ikonia, i never change my ipod setting and can not mount now [10:50] kelvinella: has your ubuntu machine had any updates ? [10:50] the pdf exploit allows one to change root, then you install their version of debian and cydia [10:50] ikonia, i keep update the ubuntu whenver it has new updates [10:50] it does not change the firmware, just installs apps and sets password [10:50] ikonia, like the kernel and stuffs [10:50] kelvinella: right, so as I said before, updates can change the supportabilty of devices [10:50] kelvinella: it very much depends on what versions of $X support versions $Y [10:51] kelvinella, you likely got screwed by an update [10:51] kelvinella: apple is not a good platform for the support in linux [10:51] I 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 each [10:51] 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? what [10:51] 's the proper way to do something like that? [10:51] huppensuhn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:51] ikonia, so how do i fix it? ifuse? [10:51] wow [10:51] kelvinella: you can't, apple is a closed source product that offers zero linux support [10:51] ikonia, i install ifuse still no automount [10:51] kelvinella: if the hacked support breaks, there is nothing you can do about it [10:51] huppensuhn, truecrypt maybe [10:51] then i guess i need to ssh [10:52] brb [10:52] cantor: lacks compression, iirc [10:52] encrypted lvm [10:53] this irc channel is chaos, ikonia not sure how you do it. [10:53] cantor: sorry what ? [10:54] cantor: oh, I see [10:54] nothing, just saying, this chan is craZy [10:54] cantor: I see what you where saying now [10:54] [: [10:54] what chaos? [10:55] huppensuhn, I'm doing 3 without the btrfs, so yes, that'll work [10:55] ikonia, i remember you couple years you have helped me on ubuntu 7.04 [10:55] kelvinella, apt-get moo [10:55] ikonia, u r legend [10:55] kelvinella: great [10:56] what does moo do? [10:56] kelvinella: in what context ? [10:56] chris|: k, thanks. I'll look into that. [10:56] kelvinella: as in the moo command on ubuntu ? [10:56] huppensuhn, maybe this will help you get started: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/EncryptedFilesystem [10:57] chris|: thanks [10:58] I'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? [10:59] When I run `aptitude install linux-image-generic` there’s a dialog that asks we whether to continue without installing GRUB to MBR. How can I run the aptitude command non-interactively. I want to answer YES to that question. [10:59] (from a script) [10:59] vlt: I think you need to use the --assume-yes option [11:00] gaelfx: how do you fix this exactly? [11:00] gaelfx: sorry, was away. the window border problem that is [11:01] sirriffsalot: every time I reboot, I have to open nvidia settings and change the refresh rate to 60hz then apply the settings [11:01] ikonia, I think I know what might have happened as to why my user id shows 1002... could it be because I was dumb the other day and despite the warning from gparted, I interupted a resizing of a partition? [11:02] Yep, I was realll dumb [11:02] ikonia, i mean u r the legend of this channel [11:02] Hello, I wanna use Google Translate API to pick words in a list of English words and find the corresponding words in other languages and put them all in the same text file. What programming language do you think I should use? [11:03] I'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 loading [11:03] gaelfx: ah... Perhaps a bit useless, but have you tried google?:P [11:03] sirriffsalot: indeed [11:03] gaelfx: have you tried ubuntu-tweak or gnome-tweak-tools? [11:03] tchip: You could do it with Python. [11:03] sirriffsalot: no, and I've no desire to [11:04] I don't know Python , unfortunately [11:04] gaelfx: haha, un derstandable.. [11:04] tchip: perl, theres a module for google:translate in cpan [11:05] gaelfx: have you tried running an earlier kernel version? [11:05] No perl, as well. Javascript, or php, would suit? [11:05] gaelfx: 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 effect [11:05] tchip: You could really do it with pyhton easily. You wouldn't need to learn much. [11:06] what does "init [2]" mean? (the [2]) is interesting. its the output of "top" when you press "c" to get the complete process [11:06] how can I set pm-powersave to be always on (or true)? [11:06] sirriffsalot: it's been happening ever since I installed 12.04, it's not something that cropped up after a kernel update or anything like that [11:07] can anyone help me with installing Amsn for ubuntu 12.04? [11:07] gaelfx: 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] Any other idea? [11:08] Hi guys, how do I remove manually-installed packages that aren't tracked by apt? [11:08] why is the 12.04 subversion package 1.6? [11:08] you got a problem with 1.7? [11:08] usb333: Did you use dpkg to install it? [11:09] vlt I don't think so. I think I compiled it [11:09] vlt: indeed it is only used with aptitude, since it's only an option for that command, not for the commands it runs ;) [11:09] usb333: Then it’s technically no “package” and you must remove it manually. [11:09] vlt and how do i do that? [11:09] usb333: rm [11:09] JPeterso2: mostly because debian is using 1.6 [11:10] JPeterso2: and its easier to use already existing packages instead of maintaining a new package [11:10] usb333: 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] usb333: depending on the build-process, have a look at the manual of the software, its always different [11:11] usb333: that is one reason to use packages instead of self compiled software [11:11] vlc I think "make uninstall" did it. Thanks guys! [11:11] gaelfx: Can I pipe a “Y” to the aptitude process? [11:12] vlt: there is an option for automatic selections, so its build into aptitude already but i cant remeber the option (man aptitude) [11:13] iceroot: Do you mean “-y|--assume-yes”? [11:13] how do you see where packages install stuff? like into /etc/ and other places [11:13] iceroot: That doesn’t work here. [11:13] vlt: no there was something different [11:13] vlt: something with default/y/n and so on [11:13] iceroot: Ok, I’ll try to find it. [11:13] how do i install libstdc++ [11:14] kubanc: apt-cache search libstdc++ to find the package you want (there are different versions) [11:14] kubanc: then "sudo apt-get install packagename" [11:15] * vlt tries `aptitude -R linux-image-generic` now. [11:15] * vlt and inserts “install” [11:15] kubanc: i guess gcc/g++ have it and will bring other things too you maybe need [11:16] iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/994016/ what package? [11:16] gaelfx: well, for my part doing that solved a temporary problem with usb failures [11:16] gaelfx: might be worth a shot? [11:16] kubanc: libstdc++6 sounds good [11:16] iceroot, 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++ [11:17] iceroot, libstdc++6 is already the newest version. [11:17] kubanc: postgresql installed from the ubuntu-repos? [11:18] iceroot, probably not, i need it for Pervasive PSQL v11 SP2 client [11:18] i am trying to important an openvpn config using nm-connection-editor, for some reason it wants me to authenticate to save, i tried running it with sudo but it still wants root to authenticate, maybe something broke during my upgrade? [11:18] kubanc: v11 sp2? sounds like SLES [11:19] i'm trying to install ubuntu via debootstrap minimal. But network is not working ... What are the networking packages? i've allready installed netbase but that wasn't enough [11:19] iceroot, well they say you it supports sles and read hat linux, but sles is not free [11:19] i was wondering if i can install it on ubuntu [11:20] kubanc: of course sles is free [11:20] !free | kubanc [11:20] kubanc: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [11:21] how to debug whats eating away memory ? [11:21] free -m shows a constant increase in memory ussage [11:21] iceroot, http://www.suse.com/products/server/eval.html [11:21] ServerCrash, top [11:21] ServerCrash: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [11:21] ServerCrash: first read that [11:22] kubanc: free means freedom [11:22] kubanc: and SLES is GNU/Linux, so its free [11:22] kubanc: what you mean is that sles costs money [11:22] maybe they should start using unbound rather than free [11:23] eutheria free as in freedom of speech, that is unbound [11:23] kubanc: but back to your question, how you installed the software? [11:23] if you want SLES or RHEL, you buy them because you want support and quaranteed updates. Just like why you would pay for Ubuntu Advantage [11:23] MonkeyDust, unbound would cause people to have to think what they mean, i am getting sick of explaining free doesn't mean cheap to people ehre [11:23] here as in where i work [11:24] So how do I view all the versions of my files with git?? === administrator is now known as Guest50587 [11:24] Hi I sent a ping request to google but it doesn't stop pinging the google site? [11:24] how do I stop it ? [11:24] monsterwizard: ctrl -c [11:24] ctrl-c [11:24] oh [11:24] oh yeah [11:24] cool [11:24] monsterwizard: you have to use ping -c 4 google.com [11:24] in windows it only pings 3 times [11:25] monsterwizard: linux is not windows :) [11:25] I can't get into trouble for doing that right? [11:25] it wasn't intentionally [11:25] monsterwizard: no [11:25] ok i have a strange problem, i can't 'authenticate' so i can't save a new openvpn profile, [11:25] first ping I have done in linux haha [11:25] monsterwizard: not on google.com [11:25] i guess i could try removing network manager and reinstalling it [11:26] eutheria: sure its the root-authentication and not the keyring-authentication? [11:26] monsterwizard: their load balancers are likely banging data to the world few terabytes each second, doubt they care much for little ping packets ;) [11:26] eutheria: or the passphrase for the cert [11:26] iceroot: My workaround: `aptitude -y -R install linux-…`. No grub, no deb-conf question ;-) [11:26] hello ... i'm finishing the install of 12.04LTS server and i could not configure bonding or vlan on the install process ... is there any "advanced mode" that allows one to configure such things ? [11:26] iceroot, it isn't asking me to authenticate at all, the save button is greyed out, when i hover it asks me to auth [11:27] I installed none of the updates on 12.04, am I missing much? This os is only for personal use [11:27] Is there a way to add a PERMANENT addition to update-alternatives? I downloaded a cursor theme, and the instructions for installing them are to use the command "sudo ln -fs /usr/share/icons/MechBlades/cursor.theme /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme" but this is a one-shot deal. If I ever switch the cursor theme, I have to do it again. Is there a way to add the cursor theme to the system so it can be selected manually using update-al [11:27] ternatives? [11:27] monsterwizard: control + C in terminal [11:27] monsterwizard: security updates [11:27] i checked on the alternate shell that there was the vconfig utility available but i could not find any 8021q support [11:28] how can linux have security updates I never hear of any threats [11:28] monsterwizard: cve.org [11:28] monsterwizard: there are many security issues on the software you are using e.g. flash, java, firefox [11:28] monsterwizard, The reason there are security updates, is also the reason you never hear of threats. lol [11:28] leOn: not really an answer to your question, but i recommend bookarmking https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html :) [11:28] Though iceroot answered it much better. :) [11:29] So it's not so much the linux os but the software people use? [11:29] iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/994033/ [11:29] monsterwizard: there are also security issues in the kernel [11:29] monsterwizard: and sometimes big security issues like root-exploits [11:29] sounds cool [11:29] monsterwizard: so please always install security updates [11:30] monsterwizard: the update manager is offering you these updates [11:30] Well the last time I did [11:30] my wifi slowed down [11:30] so I have to sort it out one day [11:30] boardcom wifi [11:30] seriously, MaaS is a bitch [11:30] monsterwizard: normally that should not happen because updates in ubuntu only fixing security issues and dont change other things [11:30] monsterwizard: but sometimes.... [11:30] I downloaded a cursor theme, and the instructions for installing them are to use the command "sudo ln -fs /usr/share/icons/MechBlades/cursor.theme /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme" but this is a one-shot deal. If I ever switch the cursor theme, I have to do it again. Is there a way to add the cursor theme to the system so it can be selected manually using update-alternatives? [11:32] What tutorial or online e-book do you recommend for someone new to linux-unix? [11:32] monsterwizard, Depends on what you want to learn. The easiest solution is always Google everything you want to know. [11:33] arg, pulled the wrong cable [11:33] hi all, I could use some help with my ubuntu server installation. the bootmanager broke and I can|t mount my fs because it was on a software raid === qrbn is now known as q0rban [11:33] monsterwizard, For learning Terminal commands, there are plenty of cheat-sheets available on Fosswire.com [11:34] cheers [11:34] monsterwizard, For learning Wine, I would reccomend winehq.com [11:34] I tried mdadm --assemble --scan but it fails to create any of the devices with no further reason or info given [11:34] so how does the network manager require a user making changes to authenticate? [11:34] linux is actually fun [11:35] monsterwizard, It's ridiculously fun! Just wait till you get into BASH scripting and programming. [11:35] monsterwizard, I'm having so much fun now it's insane! [11:35] when setting up software raid in the (lucid) installer, and i have completely unpartitioned disks, of course i need to first add some empty partition tables and partitions, to THEN be able to select them in the RAID setup dialog. just when i say "finish and write to disks" it starts installing base system right away... hrmm.. i just want to write changes and go back [11:36] Does Ubuntu have parental controls? [11:37] Does anyone have experience with recovering software raids? its not even broken, I just need to chroot into it from a livecd and everzthing will be good again. but that step is giving me big problems [11:38] MrFaggotson, Yes.

[11:45] Can anyone please help?? whenever I try to mount a media drive, be it USB or my windows partition, I get an error saying not authorized [11:47] Hi, what should I do if my nautilus takes 90% of my CPU time? [11:47] Is it safe to kill -15? [11:47] I have some external hard drives mounted via USB [11:47] my_ubuntu: the mount command for your media drives should look something like sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [11:48] What could it be doing? [11:48] cypher-neo: Thanks. [11:49] Are there any official ubuntu torrents on piratebay? [11:50] Daghdha "pirate" does not sound official to me [11:50] Daghdha: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [11:50] there are torrents out there [11:51] I need one with a magnet link. But i must be a billion % sure it's not trojanned or anything like that. I want to use it as an example for a magnet link torrent tool [11:52] Daghdha a trojan in ubuntu? [11:52] tahimik: Error, special device not found :( [11:53] my_ubuntu: to find the device name for your drive your can try sudo fdisk -l [11:53] I guess MonkeyDust just downloads his ubuntu images from any old russion torrent site with borisHackorz as poster. [11:54] Daghdha: check the MD5 sums after downloading the .iso .f.e. http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/MD5SUMS [11:54] Good. I will try and find some pictuer collection with puppies or something instead. [11:55] No, i changed my mind. I will use the puppies. [11:55] Real puppies, not a metafor for other items. [11:55] Daghdha: stop [11:55] Daghdha: do you have an ubuntu support request ? [11:56] my_ubuntu: another method to find the device is to plug in to your usb port, wait a few seconds, then use dmesg | tail [11:56] This was my question: Are there any official ubuntu torrents on piratebay? [11:56] And i gues the short answer is: NO [11:56] Daghdha: verify anything you download against the official md5sum, someone may have put a torrent up on the pirate bay [11:57] What are the minimum system requirements to run latest Ubuntu? [11:57] whats the command to apt-get uninstall purge? im drawing a blank [11:58] Mischinka: man apt-get [11:58] Hey guys, is there anyone here connecting via Tor? [11:58] what cool applications can I install in the terminal? [11:58] yano [11:58] terminal applications [11:58] mischinka: sudo apt-get purge [11:58] monsterwizard: have a look in the repos in the subject areas you find interesting, see what you fancy trying [11:59] mischinka: sudo apt-get purge packagename [11:59] thats how i would completely remove memcached [11:59] ?? [11:59] Mischinka: you asked for the purge command, he's given you the purge command [11:59] tahimik: That didnt work either. This is a paste from my terminal: http://pastebin.com/031bZjmQ If you could please go through it and suggest some ways [12:00] cccc [12:00] apt-get remove --purge package [12:00] thats what i was looking for, thanks. [12:01] and combine with apt-get clean [12:02] my_ubuntu: I took a look at your output and believe mount command should look like sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mountdir and of course /mountdir should be an existing directory [12:04] ok I made some progress [12:04] jo [12:04] How are you [12:05] I have /dev/md3 containing my /boot partition and md1 containing my root partition. now how do I chroot into that so I can run my bootloader setup correctly? [12:07] tahimik: Where to find an existing directory to mount, when that partition is named as "OS" and is actually C:/ drive when I use windows. Its an NTFS partition [12:08] hello. I'm having trouble getting rsync over ssh to copy files from the remote computer to the mounted second drive of the server. What's wrong with this command? rsync -azv -e "ssh -p 60000" /home/msdaisy msdaisy@192.168.1.2:/media/folder [12:08] tahimik: and when I try to click on it, so that it mounts, it says, Unable to mount OS, Restricted access.

[12:10] my_ubuntu: ok. if it is an ntfs drive you can try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mountdir [12:10] [yates]: no image created yet ? === Guest6022 is now known as cryptfu_ === proka_ is now known as proka === lubmil is now known as lub` [12:12] <[yates]> someone from canonical asked me to test the latest upstream kernel for an ongoing kernel bug, he said 3.4-rc7 however there is no image so im a bit confused now [12:13] tahimik: http://pastebin.com/36Bn1Q39 It gave an error, Am I doing it right?? [12:13] [yates] then ask 'someone from canonical" again? [12:14] <[yates]> will do, i though perhapes in the meantime there was someone here who knew quicker [12:14] [yates] if the comes directly from canonical, it may be beyond this channel [12:14] the request* [12:15] <[yates]> ok [12:15] [yates], it is only available in QQ 12.04 [12:15] eh QQ 12.10 [12:15] hi…. my server has solr installed… I keep getting too many files open error…. I google and found out that I need to increase ulimit… however even when i change it the process ulimit does not change…. Even after restarting the process [12:15] <[yates]> ok thanks [12:17] Hi room [12:17] quit [12:17] !quit [12:17] you need /quit [12:17] !exit [12:17] "/" [12:17] !quit [12:18] lol [12:18] my_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 /OS [12:18] surprise [12:18] Seems like my printer will only print one page jobs, not multi-page jobs. Any idea how I script the print of a PDF? [12:19] chmac, sounds like a bug. Can you try another kind of printer to narrow down the problem? [12:20] 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] jsjgruber-x-p: Probably is, but I need to get 140 pages printed today and I only have 1 printer here :-) [12:21] chmac: 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] chmac, 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] ms-daisy: Ok, would appreciate the link if you find it. [12:22] chmac, it may be more work to script it than to print 140 pages, I don't know. [12:22] I 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 :-) [12:23] you'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] where do I put a script that should be executed when ever I shutdown my Ubuntu? just before Gnome Shell shutsdown completely but after I hit the Power Off button [12:23] jsjgruber-x-p: Awesome, it's a mail merge, so I'm generating individual PDFs now. Thanks a lot. [12:24] and yeah, I'm using Gnome Shell instead of Unity [12:24] jsjgruber-x-p: There's also some tool to split PDFs into individual pages I'm sure, but this seems quicker. [12:24] How many passes for a reliable report in memtest? [12:24] Does anyone know how to rsync over ssh to a secondary HDD on the server? [12:25] !dvd [12:25] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [12:27] How many passes for a reliable report in memtest? or time? should ecc be on or off? [12:28] ms-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. [12:29] ms-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 be [12:29] Which log file shows commands entered by a user? [12:30] JuJuBee ~/.bash_history [12:31] ms-daisy, able to rsync, say, sd2a, I suppose. [12:31] Dr_willis: Hi.. i am still trying to get ubuntu to work after updating and tried to install AMD Catalyst 12.4 Manually.. the system is better than before.. can do gedit.. but cannot play audio rythm player hangs and cant play video same prob.. someone on this channel said todo a memtest have done 1 pass and about to ficish the second [12:31] make that /dev/sd2a. You'll need to get through permission tests for that, though. [12:32] Any way to log them were the user cannot delete them ? with timestamps maybe? [12:32] What irc chatroom is used for those managing the Ubuntu archives? [12:32] Best way to backup encrypted ~/home ? Should I backup the dedicated partition for home, or the .encrypted directory or a different option? Thanks [12:32] WotWhere, at least a couple of passes, but if you can, do it overnight if you suspect some problem [12:33] jsjgruber-x-p: thanks. Yes, I'm trying to rsync the home folder to the mounted second drive. I'm getting errors though, "broken pipe". [12:33] quit [12:34] Elie: /quit [12:34] 没中国人吗/?

[12:35] Elie: /join #ubuntu-cn [12:35] WotWhere, sometimes a fresh install is best, but theres ways to upgrade that I havent tried [12:36] hey guys. can anyone help me? I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my MacBook Pro and it won't connect on my network. it says firmware missing. any ideas? I can't find anything by googling. [12:36] Hi room [12:36] #channel [12:36] WotWhere, does the system crash? is that why you are running memtest? [12:36] is ther someon here that can help me with a mount issue? [12:37] chris|: the cryptsetup+loop+btrfs approach seems to work well. thanks again. [12:37] g3orge, you ran the 'addational drivers' tool? also known as 'jockey-gtk' ? [12:37] `for ..; do lpr 00.pdf; sleep 20; done` seems to do the trick, thanks for the help folks [12:37] huppensuhn, you are welcome [12:37] LjL | I am come from cn [12:37] ms-daisy: Any luck on that link? [12:37] ms-daisy: I'm happy to file a bug somewhere if I can figure out what's going on [12:37] Dr_willis: what tool? no. sorry new to ubuntu. apt-get install?? [12:37] Elie: yes. if you want to speak Chinese, type /join #ubuntu-cn [12:37] compdoc: I did do a fresh install of 12.04 on a new build but the system kept Freezing.. so Dr_willis suggested todo an update... have done that the system freezes all the time onnly gedit works [12:38] chtulhu318: just ask your problem straight forward, if you ask for a yes answer, i'm sure it won't be answered.. :) [12:38] :) [12:38] thx quixotedon [12:38] WotWhere, the system ran fine before the install? [12:38] Elie: have you joined the forum? [12:38] g3orge: is it a power pc or an intel-based mac? [12:38] g3orge, should have poped up a dialog on first boot.. look at top right corners.. or run 'addational drivers' from the menus or from terminal run 'jockey-gtk' [12:38] chtulhu318: so type your problem then and ask [12:38] Hi. Using Ubuntu 12.04, with LTSP. I'm trying to set shortcut keys for all my users, with mandatory dconf settings. Maybe I'm doing something very wrong here, but the dconf settings don't seem to correspond with what is shown in the Gnome settings application. [12:38] LjL | thank you! [12:38] ms-daisy, make sure you can read a file from the home directory and write a small file to where you are sending the files. Sounds like there is a problem with how you are specifying either the source or the destination. [12:39] See this screenshot: http://local.setreizen.zonenzorg.nl/dconf-keybindings.png Any hints? :) [12:39] good morning everyone, any good ways to customize 12:04? [12:39] ghostconn, thats a little vague.. [12:39] ghostconn, the webupd8 site has a nice tweak guide. [12:39] Dr_willis: it says no additional drivers. [12:39] compdoc: been using win7.. its a new build so trying to install 12.04 have nt tried any other flavors yet... thinking bout mint [12:39] chmac: not yet. [12:39] g3orge, id check askubuntu.com for your exact make of machine. see if they mention what needs to be done. [12:39] I have problem mounting the shares on my NAS, I mounted using several ways, but somehow the NAS is always mounted readonly [12:39] ms-daisy: it is a early 2011 i5 macbook pro intel. [12:39] thanks [12:40] Dr_willis: I tried but I can't find anything specific for 12.04 [12:40] in windows 7 it worked perfectly, shortly I installed ubuntu, but can't the mount to work. [12:40] g3orge, if they mention a package name for the older releases.. i imagine the name would be the same. [12:40] udo mount -t nfs -o rw nas-sirius32.local:/mnt/soho_storage/samba/shares/NAS-SHR001 /mnt/nfs/nas-shr001 [12:41] jsjgruber-x-p: yes I agree. I have rsynced to the server, but I want to rsync directly to the secondary hard drive. the command I used is this: rsync -azv -e /home/msdaisy msdaisy@192.168.1.22:/media/HDD [12:41] ms-daisy, you need two colons [12:41] compdoc: where does the second colon go- next to the first? [12:42] 192.168.1.22:: [12:42] Dr_willis: how do I search for a specific model? anything I found is general mac stuff and some other stuff I tried and didn't work. [12:42] btw if I go root with sudo -s I'm perfectly able to write [12:42] under any other user, files simply don't show up [12:42] ms-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] g3orge, 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. [12:44] compdoc: the connection was refused. I just rsync'd the home folder to the server though. Is this a permissions thing? [12:45] ms-daisy, very likely [12:46] compdoc: so probably the permissions on the mounted drive? or the permissions of my ssh user? (bleh- now I have to learn permissions) [12:46] ms-daisy, could be perms on the share - but best to check everything [12:47] chtulhu318: just ask the question [12:48] whoops- nevermind chtulhu318 [12:49] ms-daisy, is rsyncd enabled? its the service === MartinS is now known as Guest34262 === esm is now known as Guest27124 [12:49] enabled on what?

It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

Thank a lot [13:02] use tor [13:02] llutz: yeah, that's the same syntax I'm using. I'm getting permission denied. Clearly I need to change permissions. [13:02] yeah, I should use tor, but anyway of asking the ops to do anything? [13:02] MrShizzz: If you mean to hide it on IRC, join #freenode and request a cloak. [13:02] use chmod or chown [13:02] ms-daisy: or run rsync as root (always needed for backups to preserve permissions) [13:02] thats what I was looking for - Thank you Pici!

[13:04] VMA Null errors SegvFault.. looks like my bad... dont know where but [13:04] llutz: dumb question time: you mean put sudo in front of the command?

[13:06] gaelfx: I'm not too sure what you mean by that; why do I need to ssh in when I'm at the machine? [13:06] ms-daisy: i'm using it like shown here http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html [13:06] tzhuang: can you actually use the return key on the machine you're at? [13:06] cool. Forced commands are new to me. THanks llutz [13:07] gaelfx: No. But in looking for a way to restore my Return key on Google, I found a post on mapping another key to Return. I can't type that key because that is my new return. [13:08] llutz: oh, it looks like it wouldn't allow me to ssh to my server to tunnel firefox & other things if I did that. [13:08] gaelfx: However my actual physical Return key does not function. (A grey box appears with a red cancel sign whenever I press it, which is also what happens when I press my multimedia keys.)

Any ideas? [13:58] Dr_willis, I have something that's not comments. [13:58] Biblioclasta, you have a 75-cd-aliases-generator.rules [13:59] I was wondering, does ubuntu have packages of apps that come as a group? What do you call that, where to find and install? [13:59] Axeman, localhost/zm [13:59] ClientAlive, meta packages like 'ubuntu-desktop' or 'lubuntu-desktop' [14:00] Dr_willis: I see. Nothing for other stuff (like software development packages in a group? [14:00] Dr_willis, nop [14:00] ClientAlive, a meta packge is just a special package that depends on other packages... nothing really special about them [14:00] Dr_willis: check /lib/udev/rules.d/ for it [14:00] jrib: Generally speaking, would it be better to place a post-up mount ... line interfaces or writing a if-up script?

[14:01] Dr_willis, did you come up with a solution to my cp -r folder/ && svn up problem? [14:01] or may be i don't understand LjL [14:02] klaus: both seem equally fine as a workaround until you figure out why the "proper" way does not work [14:02] BLZbubba, ive seen similer issues.. a logout/restart X fixs it for a time. On a nvidia system. [14:02] hje841, dident really notice the issue. [14:02] i rarely use svn [14:02] okay so i cd over to etc/apache2/sites-enabled and when i do an ls i only see 000-default [14:02] Axeman, http:/localhost/zm/index.php [14:02] Dr_willis, well, I just need a script that does it if I forget it [14:02] so confirmed - ain't on zm site up ? [14:03] Axeman: What's in it? [14:03] hje841, well the bash stuff would happen whenever you close a bash shell.. so thats not a good idea. [14:03] jrib: okay so that would not be a better way (i thought so too) [14:03] Axeman, http://localhost/zm/index.php [14:03] Axeman: Did you create any websites, next to the default one?

[14:06] do i need to create a zm site ? [14:07] Axeman: Aah your using a different program. Does it even use Apache? [14:07] klaus: another troubleshooting idea: try by ip instead of "metalhead-srv" [14:07] when I press quickly the power button, it appears a screen to confirm if I want to reboot, shutdown or cancel. how can I configure ubuntu to poweroff without asking for confirmation when I press the power button quickly? [14:08] Axeman, ls /etc/apache2/conf.d [14:08] klaus: one of the big changes for 12.04 is the use of resolvconf so could be related... just a shot in the dark [14:09] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/993728 [14:09] Launchpad bug 993728 in udev (Ubuntu) "/dev/dvd disappears when a DVD is inserted" [Undecided,Confirmed] [14:09] jrib: good idea...i'll try [14:09] I accidentally started a "$ man *" command.

[15:12] MonkeyDust: i just want to disable the beep sound [15:12] pratz type alsamixer|pastebinit and paste the url here [15:12] ruli: how do I formally install it?

[15:19] i don't have the newest ubuntu kernel, i think its still 10.4 i hope that doesnt make any problems [15:19] lyscer: how do you know it exists if you cant see it [15:19] lorddelta: look at the release notes [15:19] I can cd into the directory [15:19] so type <> in console?

[15:19] it is a smb share [15:19] christian__: I used to run mine on 8.04 and 10.04 no problem [15:19] lorddelta: just trust the ubuntu developers [15:19] no it is "Marketing" [15:19] ikonia: i will send you some ice-cream if you help me to fix it [15:19] lorddelta: see the url I just linked you. [15:20] christian__: open the network manager applet and see if you see the mobile internet option [15:20] just trust ubuntu developers is a very bad idea [15:20] lorddelta: also http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1417-1/ [15:20] Pici: I meant is there a decent way to see the release notes via command line? i.e. dpkg or something? [15:20] ikonia: you didnt need anything like wvdial or something like that ? i am trying it with the network manager right now [15:20] ruli: why is that ? [15:20] one moment [15:20] christian__: nothing at all [15:20] Pici, ikonia cat a file in a directory? [15:20] when 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 directory [15:20] ikonia: well they're not exactly the sharpest tools in the toolbox [15:21] how vague.. [15:21] ikonia: cannot open netowrk managr :D [15:21] Hi! [15:21] ruli: yet they make and maintain and ubuntu disto which is pretty much the most popular desktop on the linux platform, [15:21] and they did backport the security fix to libpng it seems [15:21] ruli: I'd suggest keeping your ill thought comments to yourself [15:21] ruli: 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 vulnerability [15:21] Dr_willis: looks that way [15:21] ikonia: ok its open now, but i dont see any connect button [15:21] i never saw that button here [15:21] Is gMTP working with Samsung Galaxy SII under Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit? [15:21] ikonia: yeah good luck with that [15:22] lorddelta: 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 it [15:22] how can i turn off beep sound in 12.04 ? [15:22] ikonia, Dr_willis, Pici that's not a judgement on the ubuntu developers [15:22] ikonia: Why so quick to assume that I'm bashing? [15:22] and where are sound preferences in 12.04 ? [15:22] lorddelta: clearly it is [15:22] ikonia: clearly I'm not [15:22] ikonia: I just want to make sure. [15:22] lorddelta: 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 distro [15:23] pratz system settings, sound [15:23] lorddelta: ikonia is exactly right. you should switch to another distro [15:23] does the base install of ubuntu 12.04 close port 20? [15:23] ikonia: So? I trust them to a point, and then attempt to learn the rest by myself. [15:23] where is the connect button at the network manager :D [15:23] ah, never mind. didnt have the software isntalled [15:23] ikonia: please stop being so antagonistic. [15:23] lorddelta: houw about trust them - they know what they are doing [15:24] ikonia: how about you could have just helped me out with a command and we wouldn't be having this silly argument? [15:24] lorddelta: there isn't a command [15:24] lorddelta: Personally I prefer installing apt-listchanges to make sure that I know what changes are being updated when I do my upgrades. [15:24] MonkeyDust: hmm, but there is no option for beep or alert [15:24] lorddelta: and the fact that you expect a command suggests you should just trust the developers [15:24] MonkeyDust: i thought there would be one [15:24] lorddelta: aptitude has a changelog command, but I'm not sure of one for apt. [15:24] Pici: *nod* I think I have something like that installed, I do try to read them, but the last update had something like 400+ updates... [15:25] So needless to say I didn't read them all [15:25] Pici: Yes, I've found that very helpful after a failure, can check exactly what was changed without internet access [15:25] ikonia: no it doesn't [15:25] lorddelta: good luck [15:25] hi [15:25] ikonia: exactly. glad you can see my point.

[15:26] brb. [15:26] pratz:that is not configurable under ubuntu, sorry [15:26] i have an old Nokia N95 8GB phone and would like to see what data info i can get out of it [15:26] ruli: now what do you mean by that ? [15:26] pratz: ignore him - he's gone [15:27] ikonia: 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] lorddelta: I'm not interested, just do what you want [15:27] ikonia: why is there no connect button in my network manager :( [15:27] christian__: do you see a mobile interenet (or words that effect) button ? [15:27] christian__: or tab [15:27] ikonia: that's nice. if you aren't interested, stop replying.

[15:31] christian__: should be seen as a modem [15:31] yes 10.4 lucid [15:31] the fact that you don't see it in the network manager tool is a bit worrying [15:31] Pici: thanks again, I'll look into that apt package again. [15:31] i know it should be, but i dont know if its really seen as gsm modem [15:31] ikonia: i saw it in the network manager tool, but there is no connect button etc. etc. [15:31] christian__: I do'nt see a reason it wouldn't be [15:31] christian__: what do you see in the network manager tool for it [15:32] hi [15:32] christian__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei [15:32] nohouse: hello [15:32] Dr_willis: tried to black list #blacklist pcspkr [15:32] Dr_willis: but still i can here the sound [15:32] pratz, check lsmod output perhaps..

[15:33] anyone can help with how to setup phone terminal between a laptop and a Nokia N95? [15:33] maybe i should try to delete it and re-plug the stick ? [15:33] pratz, lsmod shows if the module is loaded [15:33] it is possible that one of my friend created this entry manually [15:33] christian__: what does the entry in the mobile internet tab say [15:34] the name, and last used: never [15:34] !blacklist [15:34] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » === raven is now known as Guest18325 [15:34] christian__: so it looks like it can see and use the device, it's just not configured [15:34] guys, it seems that 12.04's apache2 doesn't have SNI support, any idea why?

[16:11] probably better to use the GUI really [16:11] irc.what-network.net [16:11] i like using the command line tho cause i dont know S*^ about ubuntu / linux [16:11] L3tops: now I need to change the package for php5? I think it's still sync with the old one right? [16:11] sk1special: well, sometimes using the GUI tools is smart, cuz it can be fairly unforgiving.

[16:12] sk1special: just edit /etc/apt/sources.list then [16:12] sk1special: if you want to use command line.. then do this [16:12] bibi23: apt-cache policy php5 | grep Candidate [16:13] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list when the file opens, find the "mozilla ppa" lines, and delete them. then Contrl +X, then Y to save.

[16:14] Have you tried F12 on bootup Korvin? [16:15] <`Korvin> no [16:15] <`Korvin> trying [16:15] L3tops: it's 5.3.2, the difference between my local 5.3.10 and the server one is that server is lucid, and local precise, that's the reason? [16:15] KM0201, truecrypt in the repos? which one [16:15] <`Korvin> nothing [16:15] bazhang: i said I "think" thats the name..lol, apprently i'm wrong [16:15] but there's an app in the repos to do it. [16:16] otherwise they're both on official ubuntu repo : http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [16:16] all of a sudden since upgrading to ubuntu 12 every once in a while my sound card freaks out and I get weird static instead of the sound [16:17] I am confused bibi23... what version are you on?

[16:19] L3tops: I have an application requiring 5.3.3 [16:19] <`Korvin> eh 64x [16:19] L3tops: I'd like to go to 5.3.10 or only 5.3.3 if not possible === Guest81611 is now known as Dorito === thilo_ is now known as lupo [16:21] Wow... ok... well that isnt even avail in precise... you are going to go get it... bibi23 what arch are you on? uname -m [16:21] I've got a problem. I have got Apache on my Ubuntu Desktop (working as my server) and am currently trying to install mysql to make everything work, but things seem to be coming from the dotdeb repo. Anybody got any idea on how I can get rid of this not working repo? === lupo is now known as harox [16:22] Taddle: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:22] L3tops, through SSH please? [16:22] L3tops: x86_64 [16:22] truecrypt seems to be working :) [16:22] my left bar is bugging on 11.10 [16:23] halp please [16:23] Taddle: are you familiar with vi/vim? [16:23] I have strange problem. My Update Manager notes that I have updates that need to be installed [16:23] but when I start to install I got that masage CD/DVD 'Xubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120423)' is required [16:23] Please insert the above CD/DVD into the drive '/media/cdrom/' to install software packages from it. [16:23] where can I set my dns's in a way that are not overwritted on /etc/resolv.conf ? [16:23] Taddle: I juts use vim... people are very fond of nano etc. [16:23] L3tops, errr, vim for windows [16:23] !notes | kenjy [16:23] kenjy: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) release notes can be found here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.04 [16:24] kenjy: read release notes about resolvconf [16:24] kenjy: (assuming you are on 12.04) [16:24] l3tops, so not really no... [16:24] Taddle: Use nano for the editor then. [16:24] hold on, lemme see if VNC is turned on [16:24] milen8204: in /etc/apt/sources.list you will find a file://cdrom or some such nonsense. Put a # in front of it. === lub` is now known as lubmil [16:24] So, I'm sure most of you know that the Update Manager has changed its name, right? [16:25] L3tops, thanks [16:25] np [16:25] jrib: Im on 12.04 [16:25] Taddle: you could always restart your ssh session with -X and start gui apps over ssh. [16:25] kenjy: great, then that link should help you [16:26] VNC is on :) I'll just open up gedit [16:26] jrib: can't find it, any hint? [16:26] kenjy: can't find what? [16:27] jrib: changes about resolv.conf aren't a new feature and I can't see any networking related stuff on the content list of the right https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer#New_Features_in_Ubuntu_Server [16:27] bibi23: http://dracoblue.net/dev/installing-php-535536-on-ubuntu-mavericklucid/194/ check that out. Replace maverick with lucid. [16:27] Okay, I'm in that file, right, what now? [16:27] L3tops, it works thanks a lot [16:28] hash out the offending deb Taddle (put a # in front of it) and save [16:28] kenjy: search the page for "resolvconf". It's in the "Common Infrastructure" section [16:29] jrib: tnks buddy, I've found it [16:29] HI -- 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? [16:30] Taddle: 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] jrib: dns-nameservers on interfaces, this is what I was loooking for =) tnks [16:30] L3tops: it's written nginx in the ppa url, I'm with apache, it's not an issue? [16:31] jerry: I dont believe 11.10 uses menu.lst. I believe it is on grub2, and that file is no longer used... but... strange... === Zentaur_ is now known as Zentaur [16:31] Okay, install mysql, now I get "klu@klu-HP-Compaq-dx2420-Microtower:/var/www/staging/sites$ mysql [16:31] ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" [16:32] I dont know bibi23. I am just googling... Just apt-get update, apt-get install php5, and delete the ppa, apt-get update again. Should be just dandy. [16:32] I edited some files for the update- manager to change its name in the strings. How do I compile it and get it working now? [16:32] how can I fix my inability to right click the panel? I want to add things to it, but when I right click it, nothing happens. [16:33] That means, typically that mysql is not running Taddle. What are you trying to do exactly? [16:33] Use mysql [16:33] for what [16:33] and over ssh? [16:33] L3tops, my web server over SSH [16:33] Hey, does anyone have info on how to record live streaming video? [16:33] You will probably want to invoke as mysqld --skip-networking & [16:34] The video will be streaming on ustream.tv [16:34] If that helps... [16:34] or something similar... [16:34] does someone happen to know how to get number of seconds since epoch in C? [16:34] L3tops: Actually, I have kept this machine updated since before there was a grub2. So its still on grub legacy [16:34] proka: this has some useful stuff ..for me anyway. http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04-lts-aka-precise-pangolin/ [16:35] Uhhh.. I hope I can install that on 10.04 [16:35] L3tops, err, what? I don't have a clue about this side of things, I can manage an existing setup, but I can't set something up, could you give me commands or something please? [16:35] proka: its just a list of progs this guy made..alot it says is from older versions so maybe * shrug* [16:35] Oh, I see [16:36] Cool :) [16:36] L3tops: ok, packages are not found if I replace maverick with lucid, but basically I just have to find some php5 ppa and put them where you told me, then as you told me, update, install and update [16:36] Thanks, I hope this will work [16:36] I'm in a bit of a hurry, since the stream is about to start :D [16:37] How do you get rid of unity [16:37] Taddle: I did. You cannot start mysql directly over ssh, so you will need to background the process with an & [16:37] You will probably want to invoke as mysqld --skip-networking & [16:37] L3tops: Taddle: the init script isn't working? [16:37] someone gnome classic has changed to Chinese characters...does anyone know how to change this back? [16:37] Check the MySQL error log [16:37] They advised me to wait until July until the finish release of 12.04 LTS is done [16:38] /var/log/mysql/something.err [16:38] probably [16:38] er /var/lib/mysql [16:38] I meant [16:38] How does one compile the update-manager from source? === Quantum_Ion is now known as Mola_Ram_Vishnu [16:39] !compile | MrChattyPants [16:39] MrChattyPants: Compiling software from source?

Also read !checkinstall [16:39] correct bibi23 [16:39] Okay, I don't think that helped: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1644968 [16:40] mysqld: Can't change dir to '/var/lib/mysql/' [16:40] there's your problem, botched install. Start it over. [16:40] Compiling from source is real tricky [16:40] Okay [16:41] Thanks! [16:41] thanks beandog... I didn't follow [16:42] Lol,98.3kB for a whole mysql install [16:42] bright out here, and my highlighting was orange on yellow [16:42] That sounds wrong in every way possible [16:42] Taddle: how are you trying to install? [16:42] Taddle: what command did you use [16:43] L3tops, apt get install mysql-server [16:43] It was connected to dotdeb though [16:43] Taddle: then it looks like you were just missing a piece [16:43] Taddle: I thought you removed that and updated [16:43] Err, I can't even remove mysql now [16:44] sudo apt get remove mysql-server is right isn't it? [16:44] just use force [16:44] well... first I would get rid of that errant deb [16:44] Taddle: ^ [16:44] s/deb/source/ [16:45] Is update-manager written in Java?

[16:50] llutz: I think he means, with no login [16:50] beandog, corrrect [16:50] Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it through the software center GUI? [16:50] MrKeuner: at least on my netbook it does. wifi-connection is established without any user being logged in [16:50] beandog: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1644993 [16:50] beandog: yes [16:50] llutz, beandog great I'll try it thanks [16:50] I'm guessing I should comment out all the the failing repo PPAs and those CDROM things [16:51] L3tops: I'm not familiar enough with apt to know what that's doing [16:51] Taddle: that's what I was going to suggest [16:51] beandog: I would just tell him to sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; sudo apt-get update [16:51] but I am lazy [16:51] can someone tell me how to download packages through Ubuntu's command line? [16:51] hi. which is the alsa development package in 11.10 ? [16:51] L3tops: I like it [16:52] Relo: aptitude download [16:52] Relo: sudo apt-get install packagename [16:52] sudo apt-get install xxxxx doesn't work. it wants to assume I have the package already [16:53] Relo: exact error is?

[16:54] Taddle: if there are ppas in /etc/apt/sources.list then yes, comment them out. but they may exist in /etc/apt/sources.list.d in which case you would sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* then sudo apt-get update again [16:54] I download the lp:ubuntu/precise-updates/update-manager source files, then went ahead and merged them with the new strings from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mterry/update-manager/string-changes/revision/2426. So how do I get a .deb file from that now? [16:54] vidb: what do you mean? Like fetch them? Do recursive ... ncftpget -r [16:54] how can I fix my inability to right click the panel?

[16:56] I removed it in Gnome, but when I use TTY, it's still there! [16:56] jeeves_moss: if you are talking about fallback mode, you need to keep pressed Super+Alt i believe [16:56] beandog, can u give me a command exemple please? [16:56] thesheff17: whats your locale set to [16:57] I'm running the remove command again, and it seems to be trying to run a failing, broken setup [16:57] LmAt: did you ever fix your tty problem? [16:57] Let me ask again: I download the lp:ubuntu/precise-updates/update-manager source files, then went ahead and merged them with the new strings from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mterry/update-manager/string-changes/revision/2426. So how do I get a .deb file from that now? [16:57] how do I remove the overlay scroll bar, it's might be the worlds worst idea ever intergrated into a GUI [16:57] Taddle: dpkg --configure -a [16:57] vidb: ncftp [16:57] so i'm allowing users to access to an ubuntu box to retrieve and store files via winscp. it's working great. the only thing is that when the user logs in it goes to the root directory and not the user home directory. [16:57] vidb: help get [16:57] L3tops: Yeah, I sudo service gdm stop . But I guess I wouldn't actually call that "fixing" the problem. [16:57] okay perhaps I just don't understand then [16:57] L3tops: Thanks for asking :) [16:57] xangua, I'm running the newest release. and when I go to the top of the desktop, and right click the panel, nothing happens. normally, I can right click and "add to panel". [16:57] ok thank you [16:57] Relo: it shuld contain a line like "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse" [16:58] Relo: just different mirror than de.archive.... perhaps [16:58] Taddle: that will need a sudo... sorry. [16:58] yes, it does === harry_ is now known as TheAlliedFleet [16:58] Relo: so run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lynx-cur" [16:58] nevermind I got them disabled :-) [16:58] jeeves_moss: if you mean unity the panel position is fixed [16:59] is there a way to restrict user login and navigation to their home directory and it's sub directories [16:59] God you guys know a lot :P [16:59] xangua, I'm not trying to move it, just add widgets to it [16:59] Well, after reading, it looks like I should just re-install ubuntu... [16:59] yeah [16:59] coolcusty_: its called a chroot [16:59] jeeves_moss: well you can add Indicators [16:59] coolcusty_: derp, root jail. my bad. [16:59] xangua, ??? [16:59] LmAt: what happened? [16:59] anyone have all Chinese characters? I have no idea how to fix this [16:59] L3tops, what was your intention with that?

Open a terminal and run "locale" [17:00] Taddle: that attempts to reconfigure broken package installs [17:00] It seems like it made no change to me [17:00] and pastebin it [17:00] xangua, thank you [17:00] beandog: I have two keyboard layouts: US and Dvorak. I got a keyboard that handles the dvorak by itself, so that the computer thinks everything is in qwerty. [17:00] beandog: i'll look into it [17:00] Taddle: now apt-get remove again [17:00] thesheff17, did you actually update a videodriver? [17:00] beandog: I would now like to remove the dvorak keyboard layout, but don't know how. [17:00] coolcusty_: good luck man, usually it's in place for someone doing remote connections like SSH. [17:00] I ran updates [17:00] LANGUAGE=zh_CN:en [17:00] LmAt: oh, that ... it's probably apt-reconfigure kbd or something [17:00] beandog: I got it working in gnome (very easily), but when I switch to tty1, the dvorak layout is happening again. [17:01] okay, well... obviously I'm a linux noob so my questions will be annoying, but why can't I just specify a link to somewhere. Say I want to download... i donno... anything other than something that comes from xxxx.ubuntu.xxxx. I simply can't do it?

[17:11] well, that's not entirely true ... it *does* have one, but it's scrambled [17:11] LmAt: use nopaste [17:12] LmAt: nopaste /etc/default/keyboard [17:12] LmAt: Are you on console right now?

[17:15] LmAt: Right, with gpm you could have done copy / paste [17:15] middle click ftw, also. ;) [17:15] beandog: Oh, gpm (gnome package manager?) has a clipboard with it? Is it a service? [17:15] beandog: so i tried usermod and it give me a "no changes" message but there isn't a directory for the user in the home directory and upon logging in i got "could not chdir to home directory /home/theuser: no such file or directory" [17:15] LmAt: no ... gdm [17:15] er [17:15] blah [17:15] beandog: You use qwerty?

[17:19] can you change the icon that progs use in the launcher? [17:20] is there a way to find out which package my mail command came with?

[17:21] hi are there any appication for controlling heat management @laptop? :P [17:21] MrKeuner: its most likely jsut a symlink [17:21] or does it have to be done the hard way [17:21] irenicus09: lm_sensors, acpid, etc. [17:22] beandog, dpkg-query: error: package name in specifier '/usr/bin/mail' is illegal: must start with an alphanumeric character [17:22] llutz, ok [17:22] beandog: It didn't work. [17:22] beandog: I'm using gnome now. [17:22] beandog: It looks like nothing changed. [17:22] llutz, you are right, symlink to /etc/alternatives/mail [17:22] beandog: dpkg -L needs a packagename to list files, -S is to find a package [17:23] llutz: derp [17:23] MrKeuner: follow the links to find the endpoint [17:23] sk1special: change the Icon= line in the .desktop file the launcher uses, then drag and drop it back on the launcher (the default .desktop files are usually in /usr/share/applications/, easiest to copy them to ~/.local/share/applications/ and edit there) [17:23] http://gist.github.com/2726541 [17:23] beandog: no high level application to handle those?

Is there a way to find out what package triggered its installation? [17:24] ah mmk t/y [17:24] http://gist.github.com/2726552 [17:24] llutz, I did not install it specifically [17:24] Hi, I've just install OpenXenManager and had to make my own OpenXenManager.desktop, that's fine. I can start OXM from launcher but it does not indicate it's running so I can't switch to it, just start another instance. Am I missing something in my .desktop file? [17:24] MrKeuner: aptitude why packagename [17:25] LmAt: hmm that's what mine is too. Now I'm really stumped. [17:25] llutz, thank you very much [17:25] LmAt: how did you switch it to begin with? [17:25] beandog: At installation, it asked what keyboard I use. I told it "dvorak". [17:25] LmAt: Also, see if it's that way with another user, too... could be an environment variable somewhere ... I'm not really familiar with keyboard layouts [17:25] on other question: [17:25] beandog: Okay, I'll create another user. [17:25] LmAt: well if it asked at install [17:25] hmm [17:25] How can I activate pinch gesture on my touchpad with ubuntu? [17:25] it's probaby global [17:26] beandog: yup, probably :) Now I want to globally change it :P [17:26] LmAt: well I dunno man, just google it I guess. -_- [17:26] beandog: Thanks for your time. [17:27] hi all, are there any kernel devs online? I need a little help [17:27] LmAt: yah, sorry man, I can't think of anything else. [17:27] One of those should have fixed it [17:28] I am trying to add a cpu in xconfig [17:28] beandog: What if it is different for other users? [17:28] LmAt: is it? [17:29] tankcr: theres a kernel dev chat somewhere out there [17:29] yup, not a single person chatting in it lol [17:29] beandog: I don't know, I'll have to switch users (which I've never done)...brb [17:29] LmAt: Oh it's easy [17:29] LmAt: sudo su - newuser [17:30] was hoping someone might be in here since no one is in there === sephiap_ is now known as sephiap [17:31] * Thrasher194 isn't here === luka is now known as Guest98204 [17:34] cristian_c, perhaps some info at --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad [17:34] Is there a place where I could download and install all of WIndows 7 default fonts? [17:35] hi [17:35] MrSexyPants, theres the msttcorefonts package i belive that gets most of the ms fonts [17:35] I 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] but later fonts i think MS licensed diffently [17:36] rangergord, i find 12.04 a vast improvement... [17:36] rangergord: if you knew it wasnt productive why do it? [17:36] Dr_willis, Would copying fonts from Windows 7 work on Ubuntu? [17:36] MrSexyPants, thats an easy way to get them. Put them in your .fonts directory [17:36] resno: 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] MrSexyPants, i make a .fonts dir. put them in there. then link them to be synced by my ubuntu one account. ;) [17:36] hello [17:36] rangergord: whyd you say it here, not whyd you install it [17:37] I can't even figure out how to show the contents of a directory in a list (rather than thumbnails) without googling for it. And I'm a power user. [17:37] People complain about everything.. doesnet matter what they have.. [17:37] Dr_willis, Cool. Will try that. [17:37] resno: to give feedback? [17:37] directory in a list? same as its always been in nautilus... [17:37] rangergord: wrong place for feedback [17:37] rangergord: blurting out feedback in a support chat? [17:37] I found http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Gldt.svg [17:37] Changes to Nautilus are actually from the Gnome-Devs not the Ubuntu devs.. [17:37] Dr_willis: BS, considering I did it all the time with 10.04 Nautilus, and I can't figure out where to show the option here. [17:38] Is it fair to say that each branch adds something to its root (or parent)? [17:38] Hi, I've just install OpenXenManager and had to make my own OpenXenManager.desktop, that's fine. I can start OXM from launcher but it does not indicate it's running so I can't switch to it, just start another instance. Am I missing something in my .desktop file? [17:38] View -> list is hard to find? [17:38] In other words, the general rule is that things aren't removed or changed (much), but generally added? [17:38] XFS file system is by far the fastest in my testings. What do you think? [17:38] how can I change a remote box's preference (no gui access) to install security updates automatically? [17:38] Dr_Willis, I've not understood which --set-prop is related to pinch really in http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad :( [17:39] cristian_c, ive no idea. i just searched the site to find somthing that seemed related. [17:39] cristian_c, check around on askubuntu.com you may find a better answer. [17:40] ciao [17:40] MrKeuner: you don't want to install anything automatically. install apticron or something like that to inform you about updates and do it manually then... [17:40] Dr_willis, I looked for, but I didn't understood how can I solve [17:40] llutz, even the security updates? [17:40] *didn't understand [17:41] MrKeuner: just my experience, better to have a look before installation [17:41] llutz: apticron? Must check out. [17:41] I've installed ubuntu (11.10) on lvm over cryptfs over raid1 partitions. I think that my setup is correct, but I keep ending in the initramfs prompt. The root= kernel parameter is UUID=, and lvm partitions are visible when i run blkid, or ls /dev/mapper, in the initramfs prompt. How can I see what is wrong? Any hint? [17:41] beandog, there is also logwatch [17:41] MrKeuner: and manually updating several machines is easy by using cssh [17:41] oh? [17:41] * beandog lookie [17:42] Logwatch is a neat little tool. [17:42] shows all these kiddies trying to get into my ssh servers. :) [17:42] Oh, that? [17:42] anyone know if its possible to control the compiz cube via kinect? [17:42] llutz, I must go into puppet at some point, that would be the eventual solution [17:42] I'm not worried about SSH. pubkey access only + AllowGroups ftw [17:42] or AllowUsers if you prefer. [17:43] * beandog blathers [17:43] Dr_willis, I'll try to ask how can I use that link [17:43] Dr_willis, I would call them botnets [17:43] MrKeuner, actually i think its people on irc that see me and my ip. ;) [17:44] dont seemt o get as many hits when im not on irc [17:44] Dr_willis: zombies even, wherever they come from :) [17:45] llutz, what keeps you from applying a security update? [17:45] Hmm. Logwatch shoes me what packages were upgraded. never noticed that befor. [17:46] MrKeuner: i like to check what packages are going to be updated, what packages they affect etc. === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [17:47] MrKeuner: and there had been updates breaking things in the past. i hope to avoid this [17:47] llutz, I see. Usually I just go ahead and apply security updates, as well as regular package updates, haven't had a problem since I switched from Debian sid [17:48] I have 6 boxes that are on and off at irregular times, so can't use cssh effectively [17:48] MrKeuner: well i'm running mostly debian machines (squeeze for server, sid at home), only on my netbook there's 12.04 working [17:48] hi. setting up a linode with 12.04. calling "apt-get install iptables-persistent" produces http://pastebin.com/VAMQfXun [17:48] excuse me, where can i go to make some questions about my problems. can anyone answer me? [17:48] llutz, all ubuntu lts [17:48] ikdebem: if they're ubuntu related, here :) [17:48] =D [17:49] can be about drivers, multi sound boards?

[17:49] llutz, at my new job they use squeeze, I was thinking if I could switch it to sid, how stable is sid these days? [17:49] * Dr_willis wonders what a 'multi sound bord' is.. [17:49] ok. [17:50] MrKeuner: sid is boring since a few years but i wouldn't use it in critical envs [17:50] llutz, even testing has gnome 2.30 :( [17:51] MrKeuner: kde-user at home :) i guess we're drifting heavily into OT [17:51] I have 2 soundboards, my primary isnt work, but is onboard.

[17:52] depends on your problem [17:52] i can't stand unity [17:52] do settings and currently installed progs carry over into the next versions? [17:53] eightieskhild, think about ppas you have [17:53] i even purged and reinstalled gnome [17:53] MrKeuner, which ppas do you mean? [17:54] ppas that you have added [17:54] hold on [17:54] they may be the culprit [17:54] I've installed ubuntu (11.10) on lvm over cryptfs over raid1 partitions.

I'm with 2 sound boards. [18:00] L3top can help me with it? [18:00] purgeing and reinstalling will not fix an issuye with messed up user settings. You could test by making a new user eightieskhild and see if the newly made has the same issue. If they do - that points to a system issue.. if a new user works.. that points to a user config issue. [18:00] eightieskhild, I would disable all ppas, remove all packages that came with them, reinstall ubuntu-desktop [18:00] ubuntu-desktop meta package i mean [18:01] ikdebem: type alsamixer [18:01] i did it [18:01] but my primary one, isnt work [18:01] and i need to tell the sistem what will be the primary soundboard [18:02] system* [18:02] press f6 or whatever it tells you to list cards [18:02] yes [18:02] make sure both are there firstly [18:02] but i cant make the one i want to be the primary [18:03] there i can only set the lvls that i want [18:03] i am [18:03] right... that should probably be done through settings...

[18:34] wwd, system doesnt hang, but it keeps rising and uses up 99% memory or more [18:34] Sheldon42: I wouldn't think so either! and yet I cannot seem to use the monitor attached to the second card [18:34] I'm trying to do an apt-get upgrade on a server but have found something strange. In /etc/apt/sources.list.d and /etc/apt/lists I'm finding a lot of references to karmic and the distribution is hardy [18:35] wwd, leaving aside just 100mb or so [18:35] How do I determine if packages were installed from karmic?

[18:37] Can anyone tell me how I can determine what packages were installed from which package repository vs. another? [18:37] When I even start up the mini, it loads a bunch of items I want to start building from scratch [18:37] is there a way to keep my linux aliases in the cloud? im tired of loosing them, and re writing them every time! [18:38] Hi there. At the moment I try to create a package for ubuntu package system. A deb file. What I try is to create a executable file including its libraries. But I get an error message during this process. dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libmylib.so.0 needed by debian/myproject/usr/bin/myproject (ELF format: 'elf32-i386'; RPATH: ''). So after every lib and the executable file is created this happens and the package can't [18:38] be built. [18:38] Teligard: better to use a distro being designed for that, like gentoo, than a binary-based like *buntu, where you won't get any help in solving dependencies on sources [18:39] what does ^@ mean at teh end of a line in emacs? [18:39] Firefox and Chrome both no longer recognize that the sun-java6-plugin is installed on Lucid. Any ideas? [18:39] moah: Have you tried restarting it (ps ux | grep , then find the associated process id, kill the process, and restart it)? [18:40] what was the first "Brown" release of Ubuntu [18:40] anyone installed over iscsi before? I can erase a disk and tcpdump shows traffic flying by, but if I try to install to it, tcpdump shows a couple packets every 5 seconds or so and its been sitting at 33% which is where it started for the past hour [18:40] rektide2, I think it happened in Mark Shuttleworth's toilet. [18:40] Teligard: the problem is, no, but i dont want to kill it, becuase I have a process runing in there. I just want it to reappear, but it minimized into... nothing. [18:41] oooohhh zing! Sheldon420, a round of applause everyone [18:41] is there some other way to access running windows other than the launcher? [18:41] llutz: I'm running freebsd right now, but xbmc is really tailored to ubuntu [18:41] moah: Alt+Tab [18:41] vlt: : Alt+Tab doesnt work, the app is not in the list. [18:41] moah: I don't know. I'm sorry :( [18:42] hmm, this is a serious bug, is somebody from the unity team around to fix this? windows shouldnt disappear into nothing when minimized. [18:43] moah: bug reports go to Launchpad, not IRC. [18:43] does anyone know what those ^M ^@ etc characters mean? [18:43] i cant even google them [18:43] stupid google [18:43] moah, Search the launchpad database to check if it's already been reported. If not, file a bug report there. [18:43] moah: superkey tab I beleive... [18:43] domino14: ^M is carriage return [18:44] Can anyone give me a little assistance on a system maintenance matter? [18:44] ok what is ^@? [18:44] domino14: ^M is a carriage return in a microsoft text format... like something created with notepad [18:44] hello i was here yesterday, im trying to instal ybunto asa dual boot on one of my 2 machines and i cant get it to work, one is a core2dua imac the other a i7runing win7 [18:44] hi all, can someone please tell me how to configure daemons/services in ubuntu 12.4. i was used to use /etc/rc2.c (remoe add links) but it seems that not all services run are located there e.g. bluetooth ... [18:44] i just want to know what ^@ is [18:44] vlt: I tried renaming my user directory and it didn't help [18:44] I have an installation of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) whose sources list contains references to Karmic [18:45] tab? I don't remember. [18:45] Biblioclasta: i'm not sure I understand what you mean in regards to the other desktop [18:45] gamegeek: what issues are you running into? [18:45] I'm trying to figure out if there were packages installed from Karmic sources or not [18:45] mneptok: I dont want to register with launchpad, if you dont care about bug reports from people who dont want to register, than say that. this is a bug report, and if I dont find a way to retrieve windows which disappear into nothing, im deinstalling unity. [18:46] ok, ^@ is the null character, i found it [18:46] clicking "upgrade" feels like suicide. [18:46] ChocolateMInht: Then I don’t know. You created a new empty home dir with the correct owner and permissions? [18:46] moah: it's not my decision. and really, it's fine with me if you use whatever works for you. [18:46] on my i7 wen isntaling the screen freezes and my mous is glitched, on imac i get to the cd instal fuction but after that its black screen [18:46] vlt: yeah [18:47] moah, Feel free to remove Ubuntu. Nobody's forcing you to use it. Linux is a community, everyone helps everyone else. You're not doing anybody any favors by using Linux or not. By all means, if you have this attitude, remove it. [18:47] anyone any int how to configure services on the shell? [18:47] !info dos2unix | domino14 [18:47] domino14: dos2unix (source: dos2unix): convert text file line endings between CRLF and LF. In component universe, is extra. Version 5.3.1-1 (precise), package size 58 kB, installed size 239 kB [18:48] Sheldon42: i'm trying to help right now by reporting a serious bug (windows disappear into nothing when minimized and cant be reactivated), but I'm being told that my help will only be considered when I register with launchpad first. I dont want to do that. [18:48] the only thing i want to do is dualboot but it seems to be a big issue to handle and documentation is lacking if somthing isnt doing anything [18:49] moah: Then don’t do it. [18:49] Erthe: there are some complicated aptitude commands that will tell you what is installed from the repo, but in synaptic you should be able to filter packages by their origin [18:49] why is the ubuntu community so hostile to newcommers? [18:49] moah, If you don't want to provide your real email, then create a disposable one. It's important to register to keep track of progress of bugs, and to prevent flooding or spamming. [18:49] L3top, Is there a good reason why the sources list would contain references to Karmic as well as Lucid? [18:49] it's not just ubuntu, it's been like this for 15 years [18:50] Erthe: is this a project install? [18:50] Hi, I'm a little confused about how Ubuntu's file system/installation works. I just searched my file system for Python 2.7 and found folders named python 2.7 everywhere. [18:50] for mac i instaled rEFIt but it dousnt do anything wen i releunch my machene [18:50] okay, if you dont want a bug report, good bye then, I wont bother next time. [18:50] It was an image, Rackspace [18:50] But installed as 10.04 LTS [18:50] moah, 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] The other sources, I would imagine, were added manually [18:50] gamegeek: When you go through the installer, it should ask you if you wnt to set ubuntu up in a different partition. [18:51] for 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] I 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] gamegeek: and, at the end, it will mention installing grub, which is the bootloader that wil id win7 [18:51] Ubuntu [18:51] I have a question [18:51] How do I figure out which of the python 2.7 folders to use or put libraries in? [18:51] why doesn't Ubuntu save the laptop brightness level for next logon [18:51] L3top, Thanks for your assistance! [18:51] Teligard i dint get any of this [18:51] gamegeek: On the mac side, I can't answer, only the windows side [18:51] Right now I'm having to use xbacklight to progmatically set the backlight level [18:52] on windows i did the wubi.exe mlultyple times [18:52] gamegeek: Strange, because I multiboot 4 seperate OS's w/o issue [18:52] booting isnt the iseu on windows machine [18:53] bluesnow: You may want to take a look at the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview as well as http://docs.python.org/install/index.html which will describe how python's directory architecture is structured. [18:53] gamegeek: What's the issue on the win box? [18:53] its then wen im in ubuto os instaling the rest of the os it freezes or if it gets done it frezes where i have to put in my password [18:53] Pici: thanks [18:53] ^^ === felipe__ is now known as Guest55915 [18:54] gamegeek: Then I dont' really have answers for yo. I'm sorry [18:54] i made a video of one of my atampts [18:54] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKgCtZo1m7I&list=UUcIT1NQZAbOwTKZEHmrkJfw&index=1&feature=plcp [18:54] bluesnow: For the most part, you should be installing python modules through packages available in our repositories. But pip or easy_install or manual via distutils would be the next course of action. [18:55] ok, i rephrase my question. can someone tell me why /usr/sbin/bluetoothd is started even i do not find it in my rc2.d folder? [18:56] sysv-rc-conf also does not mark bluetooth as enabled service. [18:56] Pici: I also have Python 3 and 2.5 on my file system. Would I need to remove those if I want auto-installs to work correctly? (I want to put stuff in the right place for my 2.7 interpreter) [18:56] Teligard u know what the problem might be [18:56] bluesnow: No, you don't need to remove them. [18:56] gamegeek: what? [18:56] du u know? === proka is now known as Guest56175 [18:57] only noobs here? [18:57] gamegeek: I don't [18:57] gd_: Ubuntu uses upstart. So, check /etc/init/ for a matching .conf file. [18:57] gamegeek: Not a problem I've encountered === axl__ is now known as axl_ [18:57] Pici thnx i grep [18:57] Pici: Auto-installs will just go into the right folder for Python 2.7? Do they go into the 2.7/site-packages folder? Trying to figure out how I would find the libraries later if I needed to look at them. [18:57] i realy dont know what to do anymore and even on both machines [18:58] bluesnow: Generally, yes. === eid is now known as eid_ [18:59] so yeah, where could I find some 32-bit opengl installation? === hspencer is now known as hspencer[afk] [18:59] can plz someon explain what the problem might be with it or even know a solution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKgCtZo1m7I [19:00] in other words, why can't wine find opengl, even though it's installed? [19:00] anyone know where I can get general help on makefiles? [19:00] Pici: okay, thanks [19:01] hey all, I need a decent editor with line numbers [19:01] bluesnow: actually, sorry, you'd look in /usr/share/pyshared/ or /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages [19:02] tankr: For python, nothing beats Komodo edit [19:02] cool thanks [19:03] Pici: oh okay, thanks. Python's directory naming is different on Linux than Windows then? [19:03] Hi where are the deactivated ppas listed? [19:03] bluesnow: Not just naming, but different Linux distros choose how they will distribute python packages and where they will install. [19:05] Pici: ah okay, thanks. Is there a command I can use to uninstall all versions of Python on my file system, so I can do a clean install of only 2.7? [19:06] bluesnow, know that upcoming Ubuntu 12.10 will come with Python 3 default and wont come with Python 2 installed [19:06] bluesnow: different python versions can be installed at the same time. There is no reason why you should need to uninstall them. Additionally, many of the core Ubuntu packages depend on python to run. [19:07] Hi there. At the moment I try to create a package for ubuntu package system. A deb file. What I try is to create a executable file including its libraries. But I get an error message during this process. dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libmylib.so.0 needed by debian/myproject/usr/bin/myproject (ELF format: 'elf32-i386'; RPATH: '').

[20:50] Admin how do I save the changes made to the Read Only file in Recovery mode =\ [20:50] i don't have a cd or a functional drive for one... is there anything else I can do [20:50] donj_, mount read/write in recovery mode. [20:50] Yah, probably safe to ignore everything I said. I dunno what hte best approach is. [20:50] donj_: I think your filesystem is mounted read-only... Exit out of the editor, run: mount -o remount,rw / [20:50] i had several big updates on 12.04 so far and it didn't broke up [20:50] donj_: Then try again [20:50] Peri_: do you wanna fix your install or just get to your files [20:50] fix install [20:51] k, then I'm not sure. [20:51] i can access grub [20:51] bonjour [20:52] bonjour [20:52] Peri_: did you try a different boot option? rescue? one of the older kernels? [20:52] all of them rescue doesn't work [20:52] only grub [20:52] and i updated everything [20:52] idn what to do [20:52] can i type some command in grub that will fix it [20:53] Hmm. Dunno. Check the wiki or forums [20:53] there's gotta be a way to do a rescue install [20:53] The *good* thing though, is that all your user data is stored in /home [20:54] So even if your entire OS goes out to lunch, your preferences / data are all there. [20:54] ok [20:54] yay it booted ;D [20:54] rescue install erases all files? [20:54] Now hod do i get it to auto login <_< [20:54] Peri_: it'll reinstall the OS [20:54] I mean [20:54] You gotta tread carefully [20:54] Your best bet is to get a backup of your /home directory first. [20:55] u can back it up thru grub? [20:55] No, boot off a USB or something [20:55] ok [20:56] Actually hold on [20:56] If you wanna try and figure out where grub is dying, I can at least poke at it [20:56] If you want [20:56] ok [20:56] bonjour es que on peus me dire comment sa marche se truc [20:56] First of all, which release are you on [20:56] 11.10 [20:56] Peri_: okay and how did it break? just doing an upgrade that got interrupted? [20:57] <- Needs help with Autologin, Setting Static IP (network connection thing acting funny), and making a program run on startup [20:57] it signaled me to update and then froze [20:57] then i restarted after waiting a day [20:57] it just froze during the update process [20:57] donj_: Search for "Login Window" or "Login Screen" in your apps, that'll help you with autologin [20:57] Okay [20:57] its lubuntu btw [20:58] Peri_: what does it do when you boot [20:58] donj_: Ah, Lubuntu... Might want to edit /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf then [20:58] 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 corner [20:59] Peri_ tried manually run 'update manager'? [20:59] idn how [20:59] Peri_: so boot loader [21:00] ? [21:00] Peri_: your boot screen [21:01] u mean the recovery? [21:01] i tried to update everything on recovery mode, it did nothing [21:01] Peri_: so you can get into recovery mode? [21:02] ya [21:02] Hmm [21:02] the force start doesn't work [21:02] Peri_: what option did you pick in recovery mode [21:02] i clicked all the update options [21:02] it ran thru and finished [21:03] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [21:03] Peri_: do you have that drop to root option? [21:03] donj_: This shows the file before/after editing, to get the basic idea of what to do: http://i.imgur.com/jtOf1.png [21:03] yea [21:04] ah === marc is now known as Guest964 [21:04] gimme a sec to edit [21:04] Hello everyone!

[21:06] yea [21:06] Peri_: k do that, then try aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade [21:06] wait [21:06] Hi what's the simplest way to connect 2 linux computers at home without using the internet or a modem? [21:07] root is different from grub>? [21:07] hello [21:07] Peri_: yah, if youre running as root, you're inside the fs [21:07] Does wine has a mirc channel? [21:07] ok i think root doesnt work [21:07] only grub [21:07] Peri_: can you make sure [21:08] i remember [21:08] im not even there [21:08] !aptitude | beandog i'd recommend using apt-get [21:08] beandog 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] on university comp [21:08] im just writing down commands to try [21:08] brightsparks, 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] Peri_: oh okay [21:09] there is no way to renew your os installation within grub> [21:09] Peri_: yah, sorry, I dunno too much about rescuing Ubuntu systems. You can boot off a live USB though and get your data off [21:09] Peri_: 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 exist [21:09] There's some boot command foo you could do to get more data about why it's not loading [21:09] Peri_, root for grub , in literature it means the "start" of a linux filesystem that contains grub.cfg [21:10] but that's a pain, and I don't really wanna explain that, especially if you're not at the box [21:11] k its fine [21:11] jagginess: 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] i did it once tho i remember [21:11] but i ended up deleting all my registry [21:11] u can access updates right [21:11] !enter | Peri_ [21:11] Peri_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[21:16] sometimes he sucessfuly connects to network but I can't open any website [21:16] guntbert: yes [21:16] i need to learn linux sometime [21:16] but I could open google.com by entering its IP address [21:16] or befriend a computer science major [21:17] what should I do?! [21:17] ivan__: then your dns isn't set up [21:17] everythin was working fine before update [21:18] ivan__: then you have a dns problem - send your /etc/resolv.conf to a pastebin (use 91.189.90.174 (thats paste.ubuntu.com) [21:18] Peri_: yah thats a rare problem you ran into [21:19] wat do i start studying if i want to embark on a journey to become a linux guru?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:19] ivan__: 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 servers [21:19] guntbert: only one line is in /etc/resolv.conf ( nameserver 127.0.0.1 ) [21:20] ivan__: sorry it's "nameserver" dang auto correct, it's one word [21:20] ivan__: that is the reason [21:20] guntbert: can u explain, please [21:20] I have an HDMI connection between my 12.04 system running GNOME3 and I cannot see my in-monitor speakers in the settings=>sound pannel. Ideas? [21:20] avid_fan: thanks for support [21:20] ivan__: np [21:20] ivan__: do as avid_fan says, for the moment at least [21:20] ok [21:21] guntbert: commands you. lol [21:21] i'll try that.. [21:21] avid_fan: my reason for "at the moment" was that I don't want to recommend the google NS for standard - they do know too much already [21:22] Hey, 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? [21:22] guntbert: agreed [21:22] ivan__: you could also use OpenDNS [21:22] doh! [21:22] ivan__: OpenDNS's servers 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220 [21:23] Or google: 4.4.4.4, 8.8.8.8 [21:23] beandog: we've just been through that :) see ^^^^ [21:23] I'm in and out [21:24] beandog: that was my first suggestion and then guntbert reminded me of just how much google knows.

[21:25] ivan__: guntbert is right if you're using dhcp [21:25] <- Linux VM nub. Should I be looking at KVM and AQEMU to get started? [21:25] ok thanks [21:25] Hi, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. Is it generally a good idea to install all updates from the Updates Manager? [21:26] is it possible to have an equals sign in a smbpassword given in .smbcredentials .. password=mypass=123 seems not to work [21:26] ivan__: what avid_fan said [21:26] bluesnow: that or apt-get update & apt-get upgrade [21:26] BlueEagle: yes [21:26] bluesnow: yes [21:27] zastaph: try quotes? [21:27] beandog, tried [21:27] zaspire: lame. :T [21:27] avid_fan: is there any permanent solution? [21:28] guntbert: avid_fan: it's working now.. [21:28] thank you [21:28] guntbert: but, what about any permanent solution for this problem? [21:28] Does upgrading from one Ubuntu version like 11.04, to 12.04 made anything backwards incompatible/break anything? [21:28] hi,I have a problem with empathy in ubuntu 12.04 in gnome-shell 3.4 [21:29] *make anything incompatible/break anything? [21:29] whenever i start empathy it crashs with an erron in mission control 5 [21:29] ivan__: 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] ivan__: wait, what? did you get it working with those nameservers? [21:29] bluesnow: I've done that on 3 or 4 machines with no problems so far, but ymmv. [21:30] sudipta: i feel for you. wish i had a solution. [21:30] beandog: yeah, it's working with 8.8.8.8 === ajf is now known as Eszett [21:30] ivan__: okay do this, add that line to /etc/resolv.conf.head [21:30] avid_fan:should i report a bug [21:30] ? [21:30] Phosphate: 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] ivan__: it'll get added to resolv.conf each boot before the DHCP nameservers === Eszett is now known as scharfes_s === scharfes_s is now known as scharfes-s [21:30] ivan__: so it'll always use those first === scharfes-s is now known as scharfess === scharfess is now known as Eszett [21:30] beandog: it seems like a great solution [21:31] beandog: thanks man, I'll try right away ;) [21:31] bluesnow: 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 here [21:31] bluesnow: 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 upgrade [21:32] ivan__: 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] xangua: is that the same as using the update manager to upgrade to 12.04? I'm not sure what you mean [21:32] bluesnow: do-release-upgrade [21:32] ivan__: then you wouldn't need to edit the resolv.conf every time. [21:32] ivan__: 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] * exalt is mad, his system rebels against him, stupid uefi wont work! [21:33] beandog: your solution is not working [21:33] xangua: I think I like your option better [21:34] do-release-upgrade showed "extracting 'precise.tar.gz' [21:34] Is it safe to authenticate and upgrade? [21:34] ivan__: sorry, man. :( [21:34] ivan__: what's contents of resolv.conf [21:34] pastebin it [21:34] beandog: you can no longer edit resolv.conf [21:35] beandog: nameserver 127.0.0.1 [21:35] xangua: really? that's lame. [21:35] bluesnow: If you've done alot of custom stuff to your system you may have problems but it you've been pretty stock you should be ok. [21:35] ivan__: and you made /etc/resolv.conf.head ? [21:35] that should work [21:35] ideally. [21:35] Phosphate: ok. Any idea why my update manager was not showing me the upgrade? [21:36] beandog: really? i've never heard/read about that. that's ingenious. [21:36] avid_fan: resolv.conf.tail as well, to put it on the end [21:36] beandog: yes, I made resolv.conf.head [21:36] well, poop. [21:36] sorry, man. [21:36] beandog: awesome. i'm definitely going to remember that [21:36] bluesnow: Sorry not sure why. You ran an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? Did that show anything? [21:37] admin u still here? o.o [21:37] Phosphate: Never mind, removed it from launcher and re-added it and it's working now. Thanks. [21:37] I'm trying with dhcpclient.conf now [21:37] if that works then ok, else i'll try with resolve.conf.tail [21:38] can anyone help with setting a program to load at startup? [21:38] ivan__: resolv, not resolve ... just checking. :) [21:38] bluesnow: Cheers and good luck [21:38] beandog: yes, resolv.. sorry :) [21:39] ivan__: heh, okay [21:39] can i configure my settings so the screen doesnt turn off at all, but only while on AC? Then when on battery it turns off after X mins? Im on Precise === esm is now known as Guest70363 [21:40] beandog: is this ubuntu bug or my configuration is problem ?! [21:40] ivan__: uh, not sure .. I'm really surprised the resolv.conf override didn't work [21:41] can anyone help with setting up a program to load at startup in Lubuntu? [21:41] beandog: i created /etc/resolv.conf.tail and reboot, but it still doesnt work [21:41] ivan__: are you definitely using dhcp? [21:41] donj_: open the dash, type: startup [21:41] donj_, global wide, probably /etc/xdg/autostart [21:41] ivan__: what's in those files? [21:41] It seems the stereo rendering on my video card went out on me some time ago. No idea how to get it back. Anyone know if there is a stereo3d library which I might need to update/add? [21:42] ooh lubuntu...didn't read that part [21:42] beandog: I just added "nameserver 8.8.8.8" (without " ) [21:42] ivan__: hmm. weird. [21:42] beandog: it didn't work with dhcpclient.conf file [21:43] wtc [21:43] ivan__: are you using network manager [21:43] I just drop the program in the folder or something? [21:44] beandog: no [21:44] ivan__: then how did you configure the interface? command line? [21:44] avid_fan: yes [21:45] ivan__: well I give up [21:45] I mean if you really wanted to you could write a startup script that overwrites it anyway [21:45] After navigating to /etc/xdg/autostart in Lubuntu do I drop a shortcut of the program I want to load at startup inside the folder or is there something else? [21:45] or heck, just make the file immutable [21:46] ivan__: can you paste the contents of /etc/network/interfaces into paste.ubuntu.com? [21:46] avid_fan: just a few seconds [21:47] ivan__: sure [21:47] avid_fan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/994962/ [21:48] ivan__: that's it? it only has conf info for your loopback interface [21:48] Hi all! I have installed 12.04 on three separate machines now, and I get the same issues every time. After booting up, I do a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to get up to-date, then after a reboot things starts misbehaving.. The top menu bar stops responding, windows cant be moved or manipulated.. [21:48] avid_fan: that's all there is [21:48] the launcher wont open, buttons wont react to my mouse clicks, etc.. [21:48] has anyone else had any similar issues? [21:48] !pin [21:48] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [21:49] I must be doing something wrong, but Ive been using Ubuntu for half a decade, and Have not been stuck like this before... [21:50] is it possible to allways get the gcc error messages in english disregarding of locale in other programs? [21:50] ivan__: wow, i'm at a loss. i'd guess that you are using Network Manager, but i'm not very familiar with NM. you should have an entry for your ethernet/wifi in there to define its address, subnet, and gateway but it's missing. [21:51] hi [21:51] Untouchab1e, is the video card all the same on the 3 machines? [21:51] jagginess: nope [21:51] Can anyone help with settings a program to load at startup on Lubuntu? [21:51] ivan__: can you post the results of the command "ifconfig -a" into paste.ubuntu.com [21:51] does anyone know how to get yahoomail on ubuntu?? [21:51] Notimik: LC_ALL=C gcc /path/to/file.c [21:51] Notimik: are you running it manually? [21:51] yah, what Jordan_U said [21:51] avid_fan: just a second [21:51] Can anyone help with setting up a program to load at startup on Lubuntu?* [21:51] beandog, nope thru cmake === sergio is now known as Guest94065 [21:51] ivan__: sure === Guest94065 is now known as sergios [21:52] Nvidia GTX 285, some integrated Intel stuff, an AMD Card... very few similarities between the three systems [21:52] Jordan_U, kind of a pain to do so constantly :( [21:52] donj_, did you look at what I told you about? [21:52] I navigated to the folder [21:52] that was the end of ur instructions [21:53] Untouchab1e, you using a menu-bar? i thought unity is the default.. [21:53] Untouchab1e, apt-get install gnome-shell [21:53] jagginess, :( [21:53] by the "menu-bar" I am referring to the top bar on the screen when using Unity.. However, Ive quickly switched to Gnome shell, and I get the samme issues there [21:54] jagginess: gnome-shell was installed instantly .) [21:54] so there must be some underlying problem.. whats killing me is that seemingly no one else is having the problem [21:54] well looks like im going back to 10.04 [21:55] looks like im going back to windows ._. [21:55] donj_: Blasphemy. :-) [21:56] donj_, maybe you should go back to garbage after cleaing the windows :) [21:56] I have dual boot but Ubuntu is making use Windows less and less [21:56] hello [21:56] michael_, I like you. [21:56] michael_: as well you should. [21:57] i install moonlight but firefox say to me again "install moonlight" [21:57] bluetooth support in ubuntu 12.04 sux [21:57] I don't bluetooth but think my networking with an existing windows networking may be a challenge [21:58] I like garbage.. I dont have to spend hours and hours trying to figure out how to get it to autologin or run simple startup programs or set static ip [21:58] מה קורה אנשים?? [21:58] stuff that use to work fine (motorola s305 headphones, wiimote) does not work anymore. actually causes the system to crash (kernal panic). [21:58] hex20dec, shalom [21:58] donj_: i don't know much about startup up programs, but setting a static ip is typically pretty easy. [21:59] avid_fan, not if someone's brain is static. [21:59] why set up a static, is it for servers? [21:59] !il | hex20dec [21:59] hex20dec: לשיחות בשפה העברית ולגישה לקהילת המשתמשים העברית אנא הקלד: [21:59] /join #ubuntu-il [21:59] avid_fan, I do that via terminal or nm-connection-editor [21:59] jagginess: lol [21:59] juicebox: It is a nice way to find people that speak Hebrew. [21:59] neat [21:59] Jordan_u: Lol, why so mean? [21:59] hex20dec, sure. [21:59] works for chinese as well? [22:00] juicebox: i don't remember the exact steps with NM (and I'm not on my ubuntu box right now to get them), but via command line you simply edit /etc/network/interfaces [22:00] avid_fan, it should be easy but for some reason the network connections program is bugged and I dont feel like learning how to use linux's command line to set it up ._. [22:00] avid_fan, yes [22:00] I was told to use Samba for networking.. [22:00] RTFM [22:00] i am having random freezes on a Toshiba portege 4000 - can anyone help? [22:00] hex20dec: I don't consider it mean to point someone speaking hebrew to a channel where they can get hebrew speaking support. [22:01] agrees with Jordan [22:01] Jordan_U I simply wanted to see who speaks Hebrew here. [22:01] static IP+ubuntu 10.04 http://ur1.ca/99lkm using nm [22:01] Hi all, my indicators are showing *below* my programs. Ie, if I click the volume icon in 12.04, I can't see the slider because it's below running applications [22:01] juicebox: the man page for /etc/network/interfaces is pretty good. you comprise "stanzas" defining each interface. the stanzas include ip address, net mask and gateway. done [22:02] It's very annoying [22:02] It must be [22:02] What is the launchpad channel? [22:02] hex20dec: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, not taking polls on who speaks a certain language. [22:02] static IP using nm-connection editor ubuntu 12.04 http://ur1.ca/99lku [22:03] Jordan_U: I know, but did it harm anyone? [22:03] I don't think so. [22:03] Now smile and walk away. [22:03] juicebox: dats it bro [22:03] juicebox: or sista [22:03] lol [22:03] avid_fan: Ha [22:03] =P [22:03] I hate ubuntu 12.04 atm [22:04] avid_fan: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrghh.. it was my mistake.. I forgot that i set IPv4 settings to DHCP (Addresses only) [22:04] I want my gnome2 [22:04] and my bluetooth motorola s305 head phones to work. [22:04] must i set the device for boot loader installation on my efi partition ? [22:04] juicebox: Install fallback [22:04] ivan__: seriously no offense meant, but you know it only does what you tell it to do (mostly). :-) [22:04] votproductions, thats it? [22:04] just fallback? [22:05] been on 10.04 for years now, new to 12.04 [22:05] votproductions, what is the package called? [22:05] ivan__: to quote the mighty HAL 9000 "It can only be attributable to human error." [22:05] Hi all, my indicators are showing *below* my programs. Ie, if I click the volume icon in 12.04, I can't see the slider because it's below running applications [22:06] juicebox: I think it's something like gnome-fallback [22:06] avid_fan: yeah.. i totally forgot that I changed that yesterday.. [22:06] votproductions, this is different than gnome-panel? [22:06] avid_fan: i hope now there will be no more problems.. [22:06] ivan__: good luck [22:07] avid_fan: thanks man.. if i ever come to your country i have to buy you a bear :) [22:07] juicebox: gnome-session-fallback [22:07] *beer [22:07] ivan__: i was worried there for a minute [22:07] lol [22:07] juicebox: It is, fallback has Unity bits in (no Unity itself) and gnome-panel is GNOME 2 basically [22:07] avid_fan: ahhaha ;) honest mistake [22:08] ivan__: trudat [22:08] votproductions, yeah, basically [22:08] then there is gnome-shell [22:08] which is a crack baby from unity and gnome [22:08] juicebox: Gnome-shell is the worst thing ever [22:09] yeah... I hate unity more. Im so unhappy with ubuntu 12.04 gui. === hspencer[afk] is now known as hspencer [22:10] avid_fan: thanks again man, i'm off [22:12] Hi there, I'm having trouble with my wireless card (Realtek RTL8723AE) on 12.04 (64-bit). It shows up as "unclaimed" on lshw. What are my options? [22:13] how to use OpenDNS in Ubuntu 12.04 ?? [22:15] in 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] smithw, can do lspci and look for network controller [22:15] post the message [22:15] c0deMaster static ip or dhcp? using network manager? [22:16] Hello. 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] avid_fan, yes using the network manager and dhcp [22:16] Krambiorix: you might want to look at logwatch. i think it does just that, or can be configured to. [22:16] Multbrelch, I'd guess it's this one: 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8723 [22:17] c0deMaster: 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] Krambiorix: `grep 'Sat May 19 ' /path/to/logfile` should do it. [22:17] todon_, it should work for all days :-) [22:17] c0deMaster: 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 opendns [22:18] todon_, something like '%D %M %d......? [22:18] c0deMaster: just don't know the exact steps [22:19] c0deMaster: xangua onto something there [22:19] Xander, 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 network [22:19] Multbrelch, 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] c0deMaster, you mean avid_fan ? [22:19] Also, if there was a native solution, it'd be nicer [22:20] smithw, I'm searching the internet : no result so far [22:20] Xander, sorry man [22:20] Xander: i think c0deMaster actually meant xangua [22:20] Is there any way to use `strace` or something similar to observe what environment variables a process uses? [22:20] lol [22:20] smithw, hmm ndiswrapper worked a couple of times for me [22:20] c0deMaster, no worries man. :) Just making sure the message went to the right person [22:20] avid_fan, logwatch is too much for what i want [22:20] avid_fan, okay, sorry ;) [22:20] ¿¿ [22:20] smithw, I would just try, do a backup of your system before [22:21] xangua, i'll try the link you sent [22:21] I used Startup Disk Creator to install 12.04 to a USB stick, chose the option to make the install persistent, but when I try to run "update-grub" i get an error: "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /(is /dev mounted?)" [22:21] Multbrelch, no need, it's a fresh install on a new laptop :) thanks for your help! [22:21] anyone know what that means? [22:21] smithw, just try out <= is best ;-) [22:22] any app like startupmanager in 12.04 ? [22:22] * votproductions is leaving [22:22] Which package do I need to install to get a clock and a logout button in the upper right corner? [22:22] If I install 12.04 on a computer with 11.04, will grub find and add entries for 11.04? [22:22] c0deMaster: Does your LAN use a router? If so, just set the OpenDNS addresses for DNS on the router. [22:23] Krambiorix: Ah, I see. In that case: [22:23] smw: Most likely yes. [22:23] Krambiorix: grep `date '+%a %b %d'` /path/to/logfile [22:23] Krambiorix: Check out the date manpage for more info :) [22:23] ratcheer, i want to make it working everywhere not only when I use my router [22:23] smithw, look here, somebody has problems with a similar Realtek device; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1873537 [22:23] vlt, most likely? [22:24] Krambiorix: Actually, needs quoting, so: [22:24] Krambiorix: grep "`date '+%a %b %d'`" /path/to/logfile [22:24] If the router has it, every node on the LAN will use it. Do you sometimes not use your router? [22:24] xangua, I followed the steps in the link now do i have to re-connect? [22:24] ratcheer, sure [22:24] How do I access the grub menu on the 12.04 live cd so i can edit it on the fly at startup? [22:25] todon_ i'll test it, thx! [22:25] I have a toolbar question [22:25] Hey, 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? [22:25] smw: Usually it should do. Disk encryption, for example, could be a problem … [22:25] c0deMaster: in the network icon/indicator you have an option to disconect [22:25] rumaging_pinz, the live cd does not use grub. you can however edit options by pressing f1 for help [22:25] Why is it you can click an icon on the dock to unminimize it but you can't click that same icon to minimize it? [22:25] exuse me.. is possible see silverlight on ubuntu 10.04? [22:25] rumaging_pinz, before clicking "install" or whatever when it asks you the language [22:26] У-у, ёж тыж. Все по-ненашему пишут. Hello from Russia! [22:26] c0deMaster: Sorry, I am thinking in terms of desktops. I guess you have a notebook that you take to different locations. [22:26] vlt, ok, it will unless there is something horribly wrong. Got you :-) [22:26] ok, thanks smw. [22:27] Hello Im trying to setup dual monitors my new monitor gives me this error http://pastebin.com/BnB9bntW, i can drag my mouse onto old monitor but it appears as an x and the monitor is blank [22:27] naxil, look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/net-install-moonlight.html [22:27] naxil, you need moonlight [22:28] The ubuntu display center does not detect old monitor, but Nvidia display center does [22:28] saw something about it on webupd8 blog goddard http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-get-dodge-windows-and-minimize.html [22:28] What is linux's ipconfig equivalent? [22:28] ifconfig [22:28] innovative [22:28] donj_: ip [22:28] donj_, ipconfig = ifconfig [22:28] donj_: or ip [22:29] donj_: ip a [22:29] Yeah, I thought ifconfig was being deprecated in favor of ip. [22:29] i got it avid thx o.o [22:29] todon_, shouldn't it be grep "`date +'%a %b %d'`" /path/to/logfile ? [22:29] donj_: will give you a list of addresses, ip r will give you a list of routes [22:29] the + outside the '' [22:29] ratcheer, opps... I didn't know that === todd_ is now known as crippledmonk [22:30] hello can someone please help me setup dual monitors on ubuntu, My old monitor is blank my new monitor gives this error http://pastebin.com/BnB9bntW [22:30] Ubuntu display center does not detect old monitor but nvidia settings does [22:30] my mouse shows up as an x on other monitor [22:30] Please help :D [22:31] Do you need model of monitors? [22:31] Krambiorix: Yes, also spotted that and corrected in my last response [22:31] melow01: I think so. But I saw it somewhere a year or so ago, so I started learning the ip command. It is complex as h*** [22:31] todon_, you said grep "`date '+%a %b %d'`" tmp_error_logs.log -> crontab says there 's an error in that line [22:31] lionofgod, if you have a nvidea GPU then you have to use the nvidea control panel [22:31] ratcheer, oh ok... well I'm not any linux pro by any means so I don't know whats current or not [22:32] Okay, but I have enabled both screens yet my other screen is blank and first screen gives error everytime i login http://pastebin.com/BnB9bntW [22:33] I get this error when changing monitor to twin view Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'DFP-0: 1600x900 @1600x900 +0+0, CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select @1280x1024 +1600+0' (Mode 2880x1024, id: 137) on X screen 0. [22:33] lionofgod, hmm if you play with the reolution ? [22:33] resolution [22:34] resoloution for first is supposed to be 1600 by 900 [22:34] lionofgod, I use disper, you can install it via sudo apt-get install disper [22:34] disper controlls nvidia GPUs [22:35] k am installing [22:35] try [22:35] hopefully it works : ) [22:35] Krambiorix: If you're placing that command in a crontab you'll need to escape the % [22:35] here is the webpage, lionofgod : http://willem.engen.nl/projects/disper/ [22:35] xangua: COOL any idea why it hasn't been packaged ? [22:35] 0.o cli [22:36] lionofgod, disper is, however, a command line tool [22:36] why are some things only a PPA and not in the repos? [22:36] todon_, i have this, still err grep "`date '+%%a %%b %%d'`" file.log [22:36] Krambiorix: Replace %% with \% [22:37] goddard: because is a Third party app [22:37] i think that answer your both previous questions [22:37] todon_, still error: grep "`date '+\%a \%b \%d'`" :-s [22:38] lionofgod, for VGA I use: disper --displays=CRT-0 -S [22:38] xangua: ya but a lot of applications are third party [22:38] Krambiorix: Might be easier to put the command in a shell script [22:38] Okay... [22:38] Krambiorix: And checkout `man 5 crontab` [22:38] lionofgod, could you install it? [22:38] isntalled [22:38] k [22:38] am looking at its list of commands [22:39] lionofgod, with disper -l you get a list of resolution for each screen [22:39] My gnome3 12.04 install won't recognize the sound through HDMI. Ideas? [22:39] the monitor speakers don't even show up in sound-settings [22:39] I already have proprietary NVIDIA 8300 drivers installed [22:39] lorecaster, you need to activate it in the audio prefs, somewhere there [22:40] having trouble finding where, exactly. [22:40] well [22:40] todon_, if i put it in a shell script -> should i escape too? === q0rban is now known as qrbn [22:41] Krambiorix: No need to escape the % characters [22:41] lorecaster, I had once same problem and I think I have solved it via the audio prefs [22:42] Can anyone help me with a GRUB crisis? In particular, the application boot-repair. [22:42] in the audio preferences (you mean by the sound settings, i assume) it doesn't even recognize the speaker hardware :S [22:42] aha [22:42] Why cant i ping my Windows box by FQDN from lubuntu but I can ping the linux box from windows :( [22:43] I tried single label and fqdn and neither worked. but i can ping by ip so there is connectivity [22:43] hi, all. when I do "find . -name "*.php" | xargs grep something", it said "permission denied". How can I skip these files which I don't have permission to access and keep searching? [22:43] Hey, I tried that command modified for my VGA screen and it messed it up [22:44] lionofgod, really! [22:44] nvidia detects my screens [22:44] but [22:44] ... [22:44] whenever it take my mouse to other screen it appears as an x [22:44] Jihui_Choi: find has -exec [22:44] that screen is blank [22:44] lionofgod, does the screen work? [22:45] under windows for instance [22:45] donj_, you can ping the linux box by fqdn? [22:45] like...one screen works its my new one.. the other one is blank but i can take my cursor on it, although ym cursor appears as an x [22:45] vlt: can you explain it more? [22:45] and ic ant do anything on that screen cuz its call black [22:46] lionofgod, and in single screen mode, when you use only this screen, what happens? [22:46] lemme see [22:46] same? [22:46] Jihui_Choi: `find -type f -name "*.php" -exec grep something {} +` The “{}” is the found file. [22:47] hi, got Ubuntu 12.04 installed the first day now and the system HANG three times now in like several hours, when it hangs, I can click on anything but nothing happens === indigo_ is now known as funkfeuer [22:47] I run Firefox, Pidgin and XChat [22:47] at the moment [22:47] am gonna reboot [22:47] jagginess, yep but cant ping windows from linux using the fqdn [22:47] Jihui_Choi: The “+” behaves like piping to xargs; you can use “\;” instead for grepping each single file. [22:48] jagginess, im not even gonna worry about it since im only using it as a share anyway [22:48] donj_, what is the fqdn of windows and linux? [22:48] any idea on that? [22:48] thank you, vlt. I'm trying now. :) [22:49] Jihui_Choi:find . -type f -name "*.php" -exec grep word_to_find {} /; [22:49] myname.att.net linuxname.att.net [22:49] why are some things only a PPA and not in the repos? [22:49] vlt: it says there no parameter for exec [22:50] goddard, then the PPA would be no use. [22:50] vlt: actually missing parameter for -exec [22:50] can i ask help here regarding virtualbox? [22:51] Fat-Thing, shoot [22:52] Jihui_Choi: I can’t see your command.

[22:53] Fat-Thing: just go to devices->usb on the windosvirtual box menu [22:54] Jihui_Choi: Try to find the difference between what I wrote and what you typed ;-) [22:54] Lunar_Lander, I had a look into my crystal ball but I saw only fog, no info about your hardware [22:54] vlt: not at all cuz I just copied and pasted your command. [22:54] Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB Samsung HDD, RaLink WLAN card, ATI Radeon X1150 [22:55] Jihui_Choi: And then you replaced the “+”. [22:55] wot happens in detail? Lunar_Lander [22:55] vlt: oh sorry, that command came from israel__ ;) [22:55] it is like that the screen just freezes and I can still move the mouse but when I click, nothing happens and pressing any keys doesn't work either [22:56] only thing that helped was cutting the power [22:56] Hi, I was looking for a program to embed subtitles into a .mp4 movie file, the catch is the movie is a half sbs (3d), there is a program for windows called 3d subtitler, there is anyone like it for linux ?

[22:58] idk why i even ask...gooing to google [22:58] lol [22:58] Dead_AssClown: You could remove all files from the windows partition or completely overwrite it with a new file system or several other ways to get rid of it. [22:58] Lunar_Lander: what does 'cat /var/log/messages' return? [22:58] I got stuff like kern.log or so [22:58] Dead_AssClown, format the partition that says Ubuntu on it <.< [22:59] Dead_AssClown, a good method to delete all is by using the dd command in the shell [22:59] when I put that into the terminal it just says "file not found" [22:59] <{C}ronos> unity SUCKS [22:59] hmm [22:59] not really [22:59] unity works good now...

I'm using an encrypted LVM setup. do I want a fresh install on the new drive? or dd + partition/luks/lvm resize? [23:48] ahhh [23:48] I love artificial mind [23:49] I can't boot into Ubuntu, grub is busted! Help please!

[23:53] sudo update-grub2 [23:53] vlt: I usually would too, but I'm unsure if this is a good idea on a SSD. I have no idea about partition alignment. the installer handles that automatically, iirc. [23:53] wat does the program 'yum' do [23:53] hydrox24: need disable move windows between workspaces [23:54] need set strict workspace border :) [23:55] Dead_AssClown: yum is the package manager on many rpm-based distributions [23:55] hydrox24: you understand (sorry about language)? [23:55] I never should have dumped my old athlon x2 [23:55] I would read up on the ssd. The new ones are supposed to read/write wear evenly automatically. [23:55] foobArrr: why a bad idea ssd and dd? the ssd will cope with that on itself [23:56] e2b04836, now it just hang again [23:56] Hey, 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? [23:56] the syslog hasn't got anything [23:56] foobArrr: Yeah, you’re right. Then create a new partition on SSD and ddrescue the partition content. [23:56] stalkerg: are you also using an ssd drive? [23:56] I do understand, hold on. [23:56] Drecondius: yes, on Desktop OCZ Vertex 2 [23:56] vlt: thanks, good idea [23:57] foobArrr: And run grub-install again [23:57] I've been trying to find my answer in this channel since this time yesterday :( [23:57] stalkerg: Do you want disable "Dragging" the windows between workspaces [23:57] stalkerg: or disable workspaces altogether? [23:57] I'm doing the GRUB recovery via a Ubuntu Boot disc, but when I run sudo grub-install /dev/sda.

[23:57] krababbel, Yes [23:58] hydrox24: only dragging [23:58] stalkerg: one moment i think i might have just thought of an answer to an unasked question. :D [23:58] MatCat: weird, third party apps have had some issues with that. I'd delete all preferences. [23:58] krababbel: It lets me pick images but nothing changes, just the same default ubuntu background [23:58] MatCat: or try a new test user first [23:59] krababbel: Where would I find the preferences to delete them? I will try a test user now [23:59] stalkerg: I would recommend playing around with compiz-config-settings manager. [23:59] Hey 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] MatCat: sorry, I don't know where they are.
