Nogalit's currently version 2.62-1, though you should be able to find an old .deb online if you need the older version.00:14
pfifoNogal, blender 2.62 is available in the software center on 12.04, but that version dosent support the features I need.00:14

Nogalah, that's a bit beyond me. I was looking into finding the old .deb00:16
Pictowith windows xp dont work slow00:16
stalkergPicto: you use opensource driver. And for old hardware driver is realy bad (r300g and r600g good)00:16

shapeHello, If I install a different Video Card on my system and change some RAM (i.e. change RAM sticks), will I have to reinstall Ubuntu or will there be no problems at all?00:22
Nogalshape: there shouldn't be any issues with that00:22
indianhello00:24
shapeNogal: when linux installs on the computer, does it load stuff into the kernel regarding the components that you have, or is it modular?00:24
indianI am getting this error when trying to load vmware00:24
indian Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",00:24

Nogalshape: i'm not positive with ubuntu, linux can be compiled both ways. I have not tried to change out my ubuntu machine, but I know other distros can be entirely modular.00:27
shapeNogal, so there is a change I might have to do a fresh install, correct?00:27
courtcommand to download flash player?00:27
lauratikaim looking to buy a netbook what you rekon for ubuntu?00:28
Nogalfor RAM and a videocard i highly doubt it, but I never rule out the unknown00:28
a_pen9uinhow could i update a computer running 11.04 to 12.04 the computer in question has no internet connection i just use it for games could i stick a 12.04 disk in and update like that?00:28
shapeNogal, right. I should be more worried if I had to change the CPU, correct?00:29
JaceAlvejettia_p3rson, should offer to upgrade when it sees the CD00:29
indianOk I got the gtk2-engines-murrine is already the newest version.00:29
fully_humanWhat is dcop? I somehow need it to run mythtv-setup.00:29
indianbut I am still getting the error00:29
Nogalyes, if you were changing the cpu or the motherboard i might think that you may run into an issue, but with your changes i really don't think you'll have any problem00:29
a_pen9uin@JaceAlvejetti thanks for the help will do00:30
Nogaldoes anyone know how to get a 12.04 liveCD with gParted?00:30
lauratikaany advice00:30
shapelauratika, Acer Aspire one seems to be the one that "just works". Ive researched this myself a while back and that;s what I could find.00:30

Nogallauratika: system76 makes a line of ubuntu preloaded computers... i'll find the lik00:31
Nogallink*00:31
shapeNogal, what do you mean? You want an Ubuntu with gparted on the live cd?00:31

L3topHow do I assign my default output to HDMI in gnome3 on 1204? Where/what is the default mixer to change settings?00:32
lauratikahow can i lighten up in yellow the name of users while replying in the chat?00:32
foobArrrshape: I think the default is not a targeted kernel, you should be ok. you can check /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf. if there is a "MODULES=most" in it, there kernel should not be hardware-specific. (please correct me, if I'm wrong)00:32
L3topAudio output that is00:33
DrecondiusPerhaps it should be noted that I'm trying to get 12.04 x64 running00:33
L3topI know in kubuntu it is kmixer00:33
shapeNogal, I just did the same thing, yet I just burned Gparted Live CD on a normal CD and did the partitioning and installed Ubuntu with a differend CD. Wouldn't that work?00:33
L3topwhat irc client are you using lauratika00:34
shapefoobArrr, Thanks! I can't correct you because that's way beyond my knowledge00:34
DrecondiusWould that make a difference as to why it will not boot?00:34
lauratikaopera's client00:34
foobArrrshape: that was addressed to the whole channel :)00:34
Nogalshape: sometimes i look for the hard way... thank you for pointing out my idiocy lmao00:34
L3toplauratika: I am not familiar with operas, but it should be in something like "settings/chat view"00:35
=== tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding
foobArrrshape: if there is MODULES=dep instead of MODULES=most, you can change it to most and then run update-initramfs -u00:36
foobArrrbut no guarantees00:36
shapeNogal, but what is it that you're trying to do? Shink partitions?00:36
Nogalshape: yeah, just trying to shrink the XP partition down to about half her size and load 12.04 on the newly acquired free space.00:37
Nogalso the gp-liveCD should do the trick, followed by the ubuntu livecd for the actual install?00:37
shapefoobArrr, I will have to try that tomorrow since I don't have the computer right now. and of course Thanks for the info!00:37
gumby_52hello.  I'm wondering if someone could help me with setting up running Ubuntu on my TV.  It works fine on my small monitor but when I put it on my tv the display seems wrong.  I looked at the xorg.0.log and see that it does not like the frequency.00:38
sicklyhey can someone help me with removing unity? i tried sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d, but its still there. I want it to be the old school way lol00:38
gumby_52looking for some help if someone is able to assist me... it would be apprecieated00:38
shapeNogal, yeah, go to do the Gparted site, download the latest Gparted LiveCD an burn it. Then boot from it, do the shrinking and then reboot with the Ubuntu Live CD.00:38
L3top1204, I can speaker-test -Dplug:hdmi and get audio over hdmi, however I do not believe the mixer is outputting on HDMI natively. What mixer would I set to default to this? I created an /etc/asound.conf, but on reload I still have no audio out unless I do that test.00:38
L3topgumby_52: do you have any adapters or anything in between the card and the tv? How is it connected?00:39
bazhang!notunity | sickly00:39
ubottusickly: 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 !classic00:39
Nogalsickly: i'm pretty sure they just released a gnome classic desktop manager for 12.0400:39
shapeNogal, There might be some Ubuntu distros that come with Gparted but the Gparted Live CD loads very fast, rather than waiting for the whole system to load from the Live CD.00:39
gumby_52I have the hdmi plugged into the tv from the nvidia card00:39
gumby_52just going into it's own input00:39
shapeNogal, if you are really cheap, and don't want to waste a CD, you could boot from the Ubuntu 12.04 live CD and then with an internet connection download Gparted and run it. It will all be done in RAM.00:40
L3topgumby_52: have you installed the proprietary drivers? and if so what options do you have in nvidia-settings?00:40
gumby_52I have installed the drivers00:40

L3top_ProtekNickz: system settings => sound => output and hardware only have "Built-in analog audio" as an option... I suppose I should try and change this in alsamixer f6?00:48

shapeNogal, what Ubuntu Live CD do you have?01:04
icerootwhy is "sudo cd ~" giving "unkown command cd"? if i am correct "cd" is coming directly from bash and is not an external program which needs to be in PATH01:05
jacekowskiiceroot: sudo is trying to execute binary called cd01:06
jacekowskiiceroot: and as it's internal shell command it can't do that01:07

caesar_can someone help me find and install a graphics driver?01:07
Nogali just loaded into gparted01:07
icerootjacekowski: ah ok and echo is working because its an builtin AND have a binary in PATH01:07
icerootjacekowski: so sudo echo is not using the bash echo01:08
foobArrr"sudo cd" doesn't make much sense at all, does it?01:08
Nogalshape: i just ran into an issue where maybe you can help me; the ntfs system i need to shrink doesn't seem to allow me to, it has a little "!" icon next to it.01:08
icerootfoobArrr: i inital goal was to see if sudo is expaning ~ to /root and so i tried cd01:08
jacekowskiit kinda does if you want to change cwd01:08
jacekowskiiceroot: it's shell expanding it01:09
jacekowskiiceroot: not sudo01:09
icerootjacekowski: but the question is when it is expanding, before sudo or after01:09
icerootjacekowski: sudo echo ~ is giving the userhome and not root01:09
jacekowskiit's not expanding it in this case01:09
icerootso if sudo knows about cd then sudo cd ~ would put me in my homedir and not /root/01:11
icerootbecause bash is expanding ~ before sudo is executed01:11

lorecasternot yet.01:12
icerootZaNeIuM: there is no package "me" in the ubuntu-repos01:12
shapeNogal, I wanted to say that I checked the Ubuntu packages website and booted from the 12.04 Live CD and Gparted is there. I just took it for granted when you told me the iso didnt have Gparted. Gparted comes with Precise 12.04. So you don't need to burn the Gparted Live CD and just boot from the Ubuntu Live CD and run Gparted from there.01:12
sicklyNogal, couldnt find anything on that any info on where i can find it?01:13

shapeNogal, Or if you don't want command line, in Windows, you right click on the drive - Properties -Tools and you have "error-checking" (check disk) there01:26
krababbelNogal: start/run/cmd elevated, hold ctrl,shift01:26
shapeNogal, and the second option is Defragmentation. Also, "Error- Checking" will orccur after you restart, if you have the system on it.01:26
krababbelNogal: in xp just click01:26
teskewdo i need to first unset the Super_R key in xmodmap?01:27
Nogal"chkdsk cannot run becasuse the volume is in use by another process."01:27
shapeNogal: do what I said01:27
Nogalsorry was turned away, i think i figured that part out01:28
shapeNogal, it will prompt you to restart. And then it should run chkdsk before loading windows. You cannot check the disk if the system is loaded from it.01:28
Nogalasked me to schedule chkdsk upon next restart01:28
shapeNogal, yes, that's it.01:28
Nogalsweet ok; running chkdsk /r (after the reboot)01:29
TheAlliedFleetIs there anyway to run photoshop CS6 or CS5 on wine, When I try my installation fails01:29
shapeNogal, And after that, do a Defragmentation, and then run chkdsk again01:29
Nogaljust plain chkdsk or should I append /r?01:30
shapeNogal, run chkdsk /r the first time, then defragment, then just normal chkdsk and see how Gparted sees the partition after. If not run chkdsk /r and try gparted again.01:31
Nogalshape: tyvm. it looks like this is going to take a while; I'm going to step outside for a deathstick real quick.01:33
shapeNogal, chkdsk /r finds bad sectors01:33
shapeNogal so it will take a long time, that's why the second time I said not to run the /r01:33
shapeNogal, because the first run of "chkdsk /r" should find the bad sectors01:34
shapeNogal, I have to go. Good luck!01:34
nmatrix9Hey guys when I was trying to install my new ubuntu setup accidentally wiped out the partition on a external 1 terabyte drive.  Now I've done something similar before a windows machine years ago, and I was able to still retrieve the data from a formatted partition with a propietary windows tool.  Is there something similar on linux or ubuntu?01:35

pfifomy cromium-browser is not using pulse audio, how can I get it using pulse instead of alsa directly?02:24

pfifobandit5432, well #1 no sound, and #2 the error on the command line, and #3, its not showing up in pavucontrol02:26
bandit5432pfifo, wierd02:26
Nogalpfifo: try pavucontrol02:26
Tynach_ProtekNickz: That appears to be correct. I see the two virtual machines and all their intended settings intact in those XML files. I also see some network and other XML files; I'm going to back up all of this, but use it more as a guideline for recreating things (they may have new defaults, and those new defaults might be better). Thank you!02:26
pfifoNogal, it doesnt show up in the controls02:26

'Nuff said.02:33
TynachIn fact, he said it ran faster on Ubuntu than it did on Windows (on that laptop). So I consider that a success story.02:34

cheese1756Does anyone know of a package along the lines of pulseaudio-alsa? Something I can use to port alsa calls through pulseaudio?02:38
escottAreckx, "mount" will tell you want the mountpoint is02:38
bandit5432pfifo,  you can also edit a couple of files in /etc/adobe but that fix did not work for me02:38
Sheldon420Areckx, Maybe it's tired.  Try a different position.  I'd recommend the cowgirl.02:39
escottcheese1756, I would imagine that the alsa emulation is included as part of the standard pulseaudio package02:39

linuxjoneshow do i get to a log screen where i can see why my installs of 12.04 keep crashing?02:42
escottcheese1756, sorry thought you were the person from earlier who had trouble with chromium. what makes you think the pulse alsa layer is not working02:42
TynachOh, is pfifo getting that darn smurphing?02:42
pfifobandit5432, never mind, I got it with tab key, arrows and the spacebar02:42
_ProtekNickzlinuxjones: What are you doing when it crashes?02:42
TynachNogal: When I say resizing with 'Normal' method, I mean when the window redraws itself as you resize it from a corner. This is not the default behavior on Ubuntu because nVidia proprietary drivers cannot handle it properly. It works TERRIBLY.02:43
pfifoTynach, yeah, but its gone now, thanks again bandit543202:43

TynachAnd it uses LESS CPU.02:56
escottcheese1756, you could check with ldd, maybe try an ld_preload?02:56

I don't remember what I did to make it work, but there are two types of profiles: Profiles that only work inside graphics applications (like Gimp and Scribus), and profiles that have enough data for use on the entire screen.02:57
_ProtekNickzTynach: well i'm comfotable with KDE quite nice i like it, Gnome to me seemed basic, but i aint used it in a while02:57
TynachEr, that's supposed to go to bandit5432.02:57
TynachSorry _ProtekNickz.02:57
escottpsych and that gives you no errors? but tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1 shows what?02:58
escottcheese1756, start with ldd `which winecfg` | grep alsa02:58
Tynach_ProtekNickz: I use both KDE and Gnome, depending on mood. I prefer KDE overall, but Unity conserves vertical screen space better; so I end up using that most of the time.02:58

isoscelesrectangHi. I've got a Magic Trackpad that I want to try multitouch with. I know Magic Trackpad support is officially included in Quetzal, but is there any way to get it working in Pangolin right now?02:59
_ProtekNickzTynach: bandit5432: I'm actually back on linux now, of an on for a few years, why i was bouncing i dunno, Stating with linux now, put it on wifes laptop too, works wounders, even when i was using it back in the 90's :)03:00
escottpsych, so your problem is that the reserved block count is zero, but the free blocks is less than the block count03:00
cheese1756escott: Thanks. I'll look into this more tomorrow. Thank you for your help03:01
Tynachisoscelesrectang: I'm not sure what you mean by Magic Trackpad, but if you mean a laptop mousepad that uses multitouch gestures, yes you can use it in Ubuntu. Go to the mouse settings, there should be a tab for a mouse trackpad or something like that. In it it has options for 'two finger scrolling'. I believe there are options in Compiz for doing gestures with multiple fingers, I don't know though. My laptop trackpad doesn't support it :(03:01
isoscelesrectangTynach: Sorry, I meant an Apple Magic Trackpad.03:01
Tynachisoscelesrectang: I have no idea then. I have never and probably never will buy anything from Apple.03:01
_ProtekNickzApple - lol, NC03:02
psychescott, I'm not sure. It still says 28 GB used in df -h. But yeah, free blocks is less than block counts03:02
isoscelesrectangTynach: Haha understandably so.03:02
psychI just don't want 28 GB used03:02
Tynach_ProtekNickz: My first encounter with Linux was when my mobo went bad, and Windows refused to recognize the new one as the same computer. So I had to install something else, and that was... Debian 4, I believe. Dad gave me a stack of all 13 CDs and told me to have fun.03:03

Tynach_ProtekNickz: oh you bet! I reinstalled my system about 10 times a day, for weeks! My dad didn't let me have Internet at the time (I was what... 13?), so I had to use only the CDs. But I had an ATi graphics card, and could not get the screen resolution quite right... So I ended up messing with xorg.conf and screwing the system up (I thought no GUI meant the system was corrupt and I had to reinstall).03:05

escottpsych, im not sure. thats very strange.03:11
psychescott, should I perhaps repartition? Do you know if there's a way to select block size reserve space in parted or something03:12
psychI'm doing this headless, unfortunately, so no gui for me03:12
escottpsych, to be honest i would just leave it at 5%. if you actually start using more than 95% of the filesystem thats not good and you need to get more storage03:12
psychAlright, I appreciate it03:13
escottpsych, so in some ways that 5% buffer is only preventing you from doing something you probably wouldn't want to do anyways03:13
psychhaha that's true03:13
psychI guess it's there for a reason, 28 GB just seems like a lot to not be able to have access to03:14
escottpsych, if its really empty you could just rerun mkfs with the correct options03:14
lazikI tried starcraft 2 with wine, it lagged too much. Anyone tried running Win7 in a Vmware workstation to play sc2?03:14
psychescott, that's what I'm looking at doing.03:14
bandit5432you can chenge the percentage03:14
psychI've got nothing to lose.03:14
ZaNeIuManyone have an ion-2 mb with working sound out hdmi that can give me some help03:14
escottpsych, it helps prevent fragmentation. 28Gb may be bigger than necessary, but there is no guarantee that those 28GB will be contiguous so 5% isn't crazy03:15
bandit5432escott, sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sd** to put the percent to 0 change sd**03:15
escottbandit5432, yeah he did that, but it didnt take effect03:15
bandit5432what fs are you using?03:16

xixoryo, just installed 12.04.  In unity, how does one run a terminal?  I want to install and use lubuntu-desktop03:17
escottbandit5432, to be more specific it shows as 0 in tune2fs -l, but the space is reserved in df -h03:17
Nogalxixor: ctrl+alt+t03:17
psychescott, bandit5432 I ran  sudo mkfs.ext4 -m 0 /dev/sdb103:18
psych just to fool around and it shows the same thing03:18
Tynachxixor: you can also just go to the Unity menu and type in 'terminal', and that will bring you to a terminal.03:18
krababbel_lazik: it won't be faster surely03:18
xixorTynach: ah, I see.. the unity menu is "dash home" ?03:18
psych-m is the switch for reserved block percentage in ext403:18

bandit5432tune2fs -r 0 /dev/sdxX ??03:18

xixorTynach: yeah, fresh install, default ubuntu desktop.  I've never tried unity, so wanted to give it ago, but my computer is pretty underpowered, it is a laptop from 2005 (thinkpad x60), so it is a little sluggish, and I want to give the lbuntu desktop a try03:20
catball32Can't purchase through software center.  Throws 3DSecure error, whatever that is.03:22
Tynachxixor: have you tried Ubuntu 2D? In the login menu, you can choose to do a 2D version of Unity.03:22
psychGood find bandit543203:22
xixorTynach: no, I haven't.  I have it set to auto-login, so I don't see that menu03:22
psychThat might be what I'm running into here.03:23
Tynachxixor: Ah, well, try logging out and then going in from there. I believe that sets the default to 2D as well :)03:23
TynachYou click on the 'gear' icon to choose what desktop environment you go into.03:23
bandit5432psych, and you got me to go look at my own fs as well03:23
TynachInstalling lubuntu-desktop would have the same problem for you; you'd have to log out and back in to the new environment anyway.03:23
xixorTynach: ok, thanks, will give it ago, the installation of lubuntu-desktop is just finished, going to give xmonad a try as well03:24
bandit5432psych, nope just ran it on one of my partitions and it change from 26 to 46 free space03:24

That said, don't use a lot of Java in the real world; learn C++ after that.03:31
psychbandit5432, I guess it might. I just saw another thread in the server section that specifically mentioned 28 GB on a disk that is 2 TB and that was because of these blocks. Also, how come free space doesn't increase when set to 003:31

pilotbubJava is a good way to compromise systems03:32
bandit5432psych, part of that is for your journal03:32
psychAh well03:34
bandit5432psych, its why when you format a drive its always smaller than the purchase price03:34
psychI always thought that was due to the difference between GB and GiB or something03:35

bandit5432psych, ie A small percentage of the drive's available space is used to store filesystem-related data and can be considered as overhead.03:37

bandit5432psych, see http://serverfault.com/questions/282317/disk-space-overhead-in-ext403:38
celthunderlewis: it is friday....03:39
bandit5432psych, With the default options, every 128mb of disk gets 2 mb ( 8192 x 256 bytes each ) of inodes, or 1.6% overhead. so 2tb would = 32 gigs of overhead03:39
psychbandit5432, I saw that just now. I think we're getting a little over my head with talk of inodes and stuff :)03:40
bandit5432psych, its how all formating works linux windows etc03:40
bandit5432psych,  you loose disk space when you format03:41
escottbandit5432, how does that work with extents? shouldn't the inode allocation be deferred until the extents are known?03:41
bandit5432escott, i dont know what that means03:42
psychIt.. appears to be so. If I can trust wikipedia here :P03:43
=== me is now known as Guest23601
bandit5432escott, extents is the default behavior of ext403:44
escottbandit5432, i always thought that inodes were layed out on disk as needed and not preallocated onto the disk. and since ext4 has extents (large contiguous blocks for a file) I would think the layout would have to be deferred until data is ready to be put on the disk03:44
bandit5432that does not change the disk overhead when you mkfs03:44

jiffe1so I'm trying to iscsi boot ubuntu 12.04, my bios supports iscsi so I exported a disk I have ubuntu installed on via iscsi and I see it boot, it gets past grub, I see it load ethernet and usb, but then it says 'Gave up waiting for root device', any idea how I might resolve this?04:11
lewisjiffe1: run the install disk check your dev location and modify your grub menu list settings under gksudo auth04:15
escottjiffe1, you might need to do something to get iscsi supported inside the initrd04:16
escottjiffe1, the bios support for iscsi boot support is stops when grub takes over. it guarantees that grub is started and that grub sees the partitions on that device as the standard ide1 disk, but once the initrd is loaded into memory and the kernel started its up to the kernel to go find that device again04:17

I have followed the steps, however once i get to step 4, i dont see anything listed. must the hardware be connected in order to install drivers for it?04:18

ubottuCoded1: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter04:44
OptichipCoded1: did you do a nomodeset04:44
ConradzzI logged on and the window came up saying I had updates, so I hit ok04:44
dr_willisConradzz:  so lightdm loads and you can enter name/pass and login but it freexes  as your users desktop is staring? or does lightdm also freeze?04:45
lewissad to say but i had something like this happen to me in ub 904:45
L3topCoded1: assuming nomodeset doesn't work you should be able to force-vesa... but what I expect you really want to do is install the proprietary drivers for that gpu.04:46
Conradzznot sure what you mean by lightdm, but I get to the login screen, and don't even get to type my password04:46
dr_willislogin screen is lightdm04:46
menturilewis: strangely, after searching all of those, nothing came up for any of them. (I apologize for my newbieness; I feel helpless by myself with this problem, and am pretty new to ubuntu & linux in general).04:46

dr_willisi rarely even try the dvd.  Not much need for it ffor most people04:49
Hoytokay04:49
Conradzzdropped into root if I run startx it gives me a fatal server error, do I need to mount the file system first?04:50
dr_willisi recall ages ago a project to make an unofficial 'extra packages' cd for ubuntu with a lot of the extra drivers and so forth on it.04:50
dr_willisConradzz:  this is why i normalluy try 'text' mode first. no need to mount stuff.. its a normal bootup. just no X starting04:51
lewisconradzz: the filesystem should have been mounted on login04:52
dr_willis!text04:52
ubottuTo start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode04:52

ConradzzI start my computer, select the ubuntu partition04:52
lewisconradzz: what i did in the pass was reinstall ubuntu-desktop04:52

cousin_luigiAnything more reliable than indicator-updatemanager?07:13
ST3ELHi, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. My computer is randomly restarting has anyone else heard of or experienced this problem?07:14
lotuspsychjeST3EL:anything shows up in /var/log?07:15
wilfredorkrababbel: thanks07:16
wilfredorI finded that but i cant understand http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/media/rc/keymaps/rc-genius-tvgo-a11mce.c07:16
krababbelwilfredor: look if there is a linux driver for it07:17
ST3ELlotuspsychje: I'm not exactly sure07:18
wilfredorkrababbel: maybe http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/media/video/saa7134/07:18
wilfredorkrababbel: how compile that and how run this module?07:18
krababbelwilfredor: you probabaly already have it, look at www.linuxtv.org07:19
Orpheoncan someone help me get opengl 32-bit?07:20
Orpheonwine needs it, and can't recognize opengl07:20
wilee-nileelinuxjones, Honestly I'm not real familiar with wubi, you might try the Ubuntu Formus as well, help is just a little sparse in general for a wubi set up.07:20
Orpheoneven though 63-bit opengl works07:20
Orpheon*6407:20
Kyle6513Howdy guys, anyone willing to help me get a USB scanner and sane working on an ubuntu server?07:21
Kyle6513I'm currently having problems getting the modules at all and I'm not entirely sure how to do it, i'm looking for usbfs and usbdevfs.07:22
virparawhy sudo apt-get install does not ask for password, from which group i should remove member?07:23
icerootvirpara: because sudo is caching the last password for some time07:24
alankilaKyle6513: additional complication: usb devices do not necessarily have kernel modules07:24
alankilasure, there's *something* to expose the device to libusb, but after that it's all userspace07:24
Kyle6513alankila, I'm trying to follow this tutorial, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Scanner-HOWTO/interfaces.html07:25
Kyle6513I know my scanner is supported by Sane, it has it's own drivers but it's not picking it up, so I'm assuming it's something between the hardware and sane somewhere.07:25
lotuspsychjekyle6513:vuescan has a linux version, it supports many scanner07:26
Kyle6513lotuspsychje, the main thing I want is the backend, I'm trying to setup a networked printer.07:27
alankilaI wrote one userspace usb driver recently, it was an interesting exercise if nothing else07:27
Kyle6513alankila, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the term userspace.07:27
alankilaKyle6513: as opposed to kernel.07:28
arulmozhihow cud I compile a linux device driver module. it seems the older examples won't compile on new kernel...07:28
virparaiceroot >> it does not ask even if i have just restarted07:29
Kyle6513alankila, if there are drivers for sane, that's all I essentially need. It's enabled in sane and yet I can't get it to work, I'm not entirely sure where along the line it's failing.07:29
alankilaanyway my program is a java program that opens the usb device and talks its protocol directly to it. I was able to get it to work simultaneously on linux, os x and windows (although I have not tested it on linux)07:29
icerootvirpara: you edit the sudoers file? with something like NOPASSWORD?07:30
virparaiceroot >> nope07:30
alankilaKyle6513: well what scanner is it07:30
virparaiceroot >>  isn't it because of the group thing07:30
Kyle6513alankila, it's a multi-printer Canon MP150. http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=canon&model=mp150&bus=any&v=&p=07:31
icerootvirpara: normally its the group "admin" but that is still asking for a password07:31
lotuspsychjeKyle6513:did you install sane extras from synaptic?07:31
alankilaKyle6513: so you need pixma backend07:31
icerootvirpara: have a look with "id" about the groups07:31
alankilawell, dunno, some links are ancient, like refer to dates in 200707:31
Kyle6513lotuspsychje, the backends are included in the latest tarball.07:32
Kyle6513lotuspsychje, which I compiled myself first, then attempted to use the ubuntu repository.07:33
lotuspsychjeoh07:33
exalthello every time i boot from my harddisk is see "bootmanager missing press cntrl alt del to reboot" what is fastest way to fix ?07:33
Kyle6513Like I said earlier, it seems that it requires the two modules usbfs and usbdevfs to communicate with the scanner properly.07:34
virparaiceroot >> to list the groups i am member of?07:34
Kyle6513both of which aren't loaded or in the kernel at all, I've never compiled a kernel before myself and I'm still not entirely sure if I need to include it into the kernel.07:34
virparahow to iceroot07:34
icerootvirpara: id07:35
arulmozhiagain how cud I compile a linux device driver module. it seems the older examples won't compile on new kernel... my kernel version is 3.2 rev 2007:35
alankilaKyle6513: based on this, you shouldn't need to do anything for this to work -- sane-pixma manpage promises that usb devices should be detected automatically.07:35
virparaiceroot >> 100307:35
alankilaKyle6513: I assume if a program such as "lsusb" works, then canon-pixma is also able to see it07:35
alankilatalk about usb filesystems may be dated -- I haven't personally paid attention how this stuff works for a long time07:36
Kyle6513alankila, yeah it's detected in lsusb, I just can't get it to detect, no matter what.07:36
=== Chin is now known as Chin_
Kyle6513it's even listed in the lsusb as a mp150 scanner, not a printer.07:36
alankilaKyle6513: well, I think these usbdevfs and stuff like that is long gone07:36
Kyle6513alankila, one thing I haven't tried is to reset the printer, I'll try that.07:37
Kyle6513alankila, still doesn't connect :/07:38
xiangzhenhey07:39
xiangzhenwho is on?07:39
alankilaKyle6513: a quick scan of the source code indicates that sane-pixma driver is based on libusb07:39
Kyle6513alankila, so, it should work :I07:40
alankilaso I guess you just haven't configured sane correctly or something. Maybe never told sane that you have a pixma-based scanner07:40
alankilaI don't remember how you configure sane07:40
xiangzhenhow can i remove the unity bar?07:40
Kyle6513xiangzhen, in login screen, drop down box > classic ubuntu07:40
alankilasane-find-scanner is supposedly the command, maybe it does something07:40
Kyle6513alankila, yeah that's what I07:41
Kyle6513alankila, have been using, but it returns nothing.07:41
alankilaokay. just tried it against my own scanner and it says: found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x5611 [Photosmart C3100 series]) at libusb:001:00507:42
alankilatried to "sudo" the command yet?07:42
alankilalike maybe it doesn't have the privilege for the userspace access to usb or something.07:42
alankilaapparently the device files are /dev/bus/usb/<digits>/<digits> nowadays07:43
Kyle6513alankila, yeah I tried and still doesn't work07:43
alankilahm. Fair enough. I'm out of ideas, then.07:44
Kyle6513alankila, perhaps it doesn't know about the change of dev locations, I might be able to make a temporary system link to /proc/bus/usb ?07:45
whoamiii got this problem07:45
alankilaKyle6513: nah, that's almost certainly not it07:45
alankilaKyle6513: lsusb uses libusb, sane uses libusb. They know where the files are. Use strace -e open to prove it, if you want07:45
whoamiiwhen i startup my ubuntu the whole windows turn back to those windows95 theme ?07:45
alankilayou should see sane-find-scanner open ton of usb files07:45
boumaim trying to repair grub with a system drive with both ubuntu1204 and win7, after installing win7 it has installed its own bootloader. how can i rebuild the grub menu with the livecd?07:46
Kyle6513actually alankila07:46
Kyle6513alankila, it never opens any usb devices07:46
alankilareally? Well, that's funny.07:47
Kyle6513alankila, nevermind, it does. I missed the one line.07:47
Kyle6513alankila, it looks in /dev/usb though, not /dev/bus/usb07:47
alankilaKyle6513: and ... well, is /dev/usb a valid place to look for them07:47
Kyle6513alankila, uh, well, the only file in /dev/usb/ is a file named 1p0, it's yellow in terminal.07:49
alankilamine never look into /dev/usb07:49
Kyle6513alankila, where does yours look?07:49
alankilano such file or directory07:49
alankilaI guess we aren't on same version of ubuntu server maybe.07:49
Kyle6513alankila, running 10.04.07:49
alankilayeh, 12.0407:50
Kyle6513so I take it I'll have to update?07:50
alankilaanyway it might still be alright -- although now there's the added complexity of discovering if the pixma driver supported your scanner around 201007:50
Kyle6513alankila, it was first supported in 2009.07:51
arulmozhiagain how cud I compile a linux device driver module. it seems the older examples won't compile on new kernel... my kernel version is 3.2 rev 20... how to include and what are  the  headers required07:51
Kyle6513alankila, http://mp610.blogspot.com.au/07:51
alankilaKyle6513: that cuts it uncomfortably close07:51
Kyle6513alankila, actually nevermind, that was the wrong post.07:51
boumawhen i try grub-install /dev/sda i get  error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).07:53
boumaim not sure why07:53
alankilaarulmozhi: typically you have to do the investigative work to port it, or look for a person who already did that work. That's just how it is. If nobody has done it, and the device you need driver for is popular, chances are there's some new solution which everybody else flocked to07:54
Kyle6513bouma, are you running as root?07:54
boumaKyle6513: that is with sudo grub-install /dev/sda, from a livecd07:55
Kyle6513hmm07:55
Kyle6513well, I was just throwing that out there, I'm not too knowledgable.07:55
krababbelbouma: tried 'purge and reinstall grub 2' thread in ubuntu forums?07:55
alankilaI once wrote a linux kernel driver for a piece of hardware which I had and I don't think it ever worked across more than 1 or 2 minor revisions without needing patching07:56
alankilathe kernel internals are crazy unstable07:56
boumathere is some issue with the chroot in the livecd, from what i can tell it is an intermitent bug, but it surprising it would exisit with 120407:56
alankilathey move headers, remove arguments, change types, rename defines, barf.07:56
arulmozhialankila: I don get it. I'm designing an instrument and I need to write my own driver for it. I just need the generic structure of driver code i.e a skull that I cud use for my driver that compiles in new linux version. from wat u said how do I port it. I'm just sarting with driver development. I read LDD book. but samples don't compile07:58
boumai dont have a separate boot partition07:58
alankilaarulmozhi: I was fortunate to have someone else's working driver as base when I did it.07:59
boumai almost want to just reinstall over the top of the current install07:59
boumawill this break things?07:59
boumathere isnt much on /home07:59
alankilabouma: your old fs will be formatted over most likely08:00
Kyle6513alankila, http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100303302.html would that be of any help to me?08:00
isabelhi, my internal mic is not working after a  12.04 install, please help :-[08:00
alankilaKyle6513: not a psychic, don't know08:01
alankilaall I see is ton of legalese08:01
arulmozhialankila: any idea how to port it??08:01
Kyle6513alankila, it's basically canon's released source for their scanning drivers08:01
alankilaarulmozhi: not really. I guess you just do it :-p08:01
isabelhi, my internal mic is not working after a  12.04 install, please help :-[08:02
arulmozhialankila: thanx for ur time :)08:03
alankilaKyle6513: I dunno. If it covers the MP 150 you have then maybe there's some use to be had from it. But I don't think manufacturer drivers are any good for long08:03
boumaalankila: thats the idea08:03
alankilalinux just changes too fast for them to work for longer than like half a year08:03
Kyle6513alankila, alright, I'll just try and follow an old guide x.x08:04
Mischinkacommand line, how do i zip multiple files into one zip archive? zip -r zipfile.zip /directory/08:04
boumaalankila: i cant figure out how to just get grub-install /dev/sda to run08:04
alankilabouma: the sda is your harddisk? has filesystems on it? one of them contains /boot?08:04
alankilaanyway I normally mount /dev/sda1 /somewhere, then chroot, then mount /dev, /sys and /proc, then run grub-install /dev/sda, then reverse my steps08:05
krababbelbouma: got the same error once, i think i just reinstalled, but erased all08:05
boumaalankila: there is no boot, just one linux partition sda1, and sd2 is the win7 boot partition, sd3 win7system08:05
alankilabouma: right so /dev/sda1 contains the directory called /boot/grub then.08:06
boumahmm perhaps if i change the active partion to sda1 it will just work08:06
boumaalankila: yes08:06
alankilabouma: so mount it, chroot to it, then mount /sys, /proc and /dev, then try grub-install08:07
boumaalankila: sigh i thought i could just run grub-install /dev/sda from the term on a livecd08:07
alankilabouma: not sure if that should work. It is conceivable it could.08:08
boumaim first trying my changing sda2 active to sda108:08
alankilabut as far as I remember it never has worked.08:08
boumawhich win7 installer seemed to change08:08
alankilaso the problem is you boot directly to windows... grub should have been installed on the mbr, and I imagine win7 overwrote that08:08
boumaalankila: really... im sure ive used it before i thought it just scanned the drive and regenerated a whole boot menu with every detected kernel, rescue modes and entries for all detected operating systems08:09
alankilabouma: that is update-grub08:09
alankilait just generates the grub config08:09
alankilaif you lost capability to boot into grub the first place, then you need to actually reinstall it08:09
boumaalankila: ok, well update-grub /dev/sda doesnt work either it gives, /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).08:10
alankilaI never install two operating systems on the same drive myself08:10
bouma(thats sudo update-grub /dev/sda)08:10
boumawell i only have one ssd08:10

wilee-nileebouma, update-grub on the live cd only works with a chroot if that is where you are running it.08:13

ankiti was asked to uninstall gnome and gnome shell..i unstalled gnome desktop environment first,when i got forward to uninstall gnome shell.. it was already uninstalled.. then i restarted my sys.. installed gnome D.E. again.. and faced the same prob08:35
omeI have X11 installed, obviously, but I can't seem to have the Mouse(4) man page.08:35
omewhat package should I install ?08:36
Ofortunawell I bet u are good at writing shell scripts and thats where my learning curve is taking me so as soon as I get by this nomodeset peramiter issue I'll prolly be here alot more.08:37
DarwinSurvivorankit: that's because you are back to where you started. you uninstalled both but were only supposed to uninstall gnome. you were supposed to *install* gnome shell08:38
OfortunaNot good for a recovering IRC addict lol08:38
TaddleI never got the end of my answer yesterday. I can't make mysql work08:38
DarwinSurvivorankit: if you just open software center, find "gnome shell" and install it, it should resolve your problem :)08:38
ankitokay darwin..08:39
DarwinSurvivorTaddle: if you are continuing a previous issue, please re-post the issue as the person that was helping you probably isn't here right now and may have forgotten what the issue was by now anyways08:39
TaddleYeah, I know08:39
ankiti will now uninstall gnome d.e. and install only gnome shell.. thats right naa08:39

linuxuz3rhey guys we need 3d acceleration for gnomeshell right?08:40
DarwinSurvivorlinuxuz3r: only if you want it to be fast :P08:42
Taddle(I think) I've fixed it. MySql wasn't starting and couldn't do any testing because of the socket not connecting, but I think I was running the xampp mysql server08:42
votproductionslinuxuz3r: Not for a Pentium 408:42

isabelMikey^: where would i find the multimedia selector?08:50
TaddleI've never managed an Ubuntu server. The companies are not at risk, I've always worked with an older person (15) who knows everything, I was just a "maintanence admin"08:51
Mikey^isabel: search for multimedia in the search bar08:51
ikoniaTaddle: the companies are at risk08:51
ikoniaTaddle: if you have zero idea how to manage a linux server and you are running a companies web site - that is an unacceptable risk08:51
DarwinSurvivorTaddle: ikonia is right, linux starts and stops services VERY differently than windows, there are also lots of other differences (particularly case-sensitivity and file permission) differences that are VERY important to understand08:51
ikoniaTaddle: read https://help.ubuntu.com08:51
TaddleI do not have 0 knowledge08:51
ikoniaTaddle: you do, as you can't start a basic service08:51
ikoniaTaddle: that is an unacceptable risk08:52
TaddleThat is started with the cpanel on every server I've worked on?08:52
ikoniaTaddle: then you have no knowledge of what cpannel is doing for you08:52
Mikey^Shanth: Is this a laptop or desktop?08:52

dr_willisreading is good08:54
Mikey^isabel: and then go to recording08:55
DarwinSurvivorTaddle: as some one who has been in your shoes years ago (came from xampp, went to linux). The best thing you can do is set up an ubuntu-server machine (old PIII or something simple) and forget EVERYTHING you knew about windows servers (PHP is basically the same though).08:55
TaddleAnd for the record, all the business servers I've worked on, have been supported by a bigger company. The companies were not for profits08:55
kris021Hi I would like some help with some password change/recovery type situation please08:55
isabelMikey^: There is only a input tab no recording?08:55
ikoniaTaddle: just because they are non-proffit companies doesn't make it acceptable08:55
Mikey^isabel: yeah, ok08:55
ikoniaTaddle: in some ways it makes it worse as they don't have money to waste08:55
TaddleThey weren't wasting money?08:55
Mikey^isabel: check that its unmuted and volume is up08:56
isabelMikey^: ok, i am there08:56
TaddleEverything was donated to them08:56
DarwinSurvivorTaddle: get that server up and running with a small site using mysql and keep it updating and running for a month solid. at that point, start looking at iptables. once you have that figured out (and get someone on a support channel to look over it with you), then consider forwarding a few ports (http, ssh) from the router08:56
ikoniaTaddle: they are wasting money/time if they have to fix your learning mistakes08:56
DarwinSurvivorTaddle: also, *always* use ssh (ftp is insecure) and *always* use public/private keys. turn off password login completely (help.ubuntu.com will tell you how)08:56
TaddleDarwinSurvivor, thanks. I've been through this before, I was just having problems recently08:57
isabelMikey^: Mic is not muted, for internal mic and normal mic08:57
Taddleikonia, the people who donate fix things for free08:57
ikoniaTaddle: that is still their time/money/effort they are wasting08:57
ikoniaanyway, I digress08:57
Mikey^isabel: you need to choose which mic you want to use08:57
ikoniaTaddle: I've given you the URL to read, good luck with understanding/absorbing it08:57
isabelMikey^:ok08:57
kris021I couldn't seem to log in to my original Admin account, so I created another under the Guest account, deleted the original and never the new one a password. Now I don't have any type of root access to try again. Is there some type of default password?08:58
Mikey^isabel: do you see a capture tab?08:58
DarwinSurvivorTaddle: I'm not joking about the "forget everything you knew" part. follow *every* step for setting up each service (apach, mysql, ssh, etc) from the guide. if something seems strange, ask a linux admin about it08:58
ikoniakris021: no, nothing default08:58
Taddlewhat was wrong with how I started mysql anyways? It works?08:58
isabelMikey^: no there is no capture tab08:58
kris021So I'm screwed?08:58
ikoniaTaddle: you've launched the daemon directly as root, you've not put any shell job control in (not using an init script)08:59
Mikey^isabel: choose preferences and then select all the checkboxes08:59
TaddleWhat makes that a problem? (This is for my learning btw)08:59
isabelMikey^: just output, input, Sound effects,Applications tabs08:59
ikoniaTaddle: research it08:59
TaddleMeh, or I could ask one my friends at Mozilla IT09:00
ikoniaTaddle: sure, ask them, that's research too09:00
kris021ikonia: So what do you think would be the best course of action?09:00
DarwinSurvivorTaddle: linux is designed to be modularly secure, if 1 piece is attacked/penetrated, the rest should remain secure. by running mysql as root, if someone were to hack the mysql daemon (via sql injection, or what-ever), they could potentially take complete control of the *entire* system09:00
isabelMikey^: sorry, where is the preferences?09:00
ikoniakris021: depends on a lot of things09:00
dr_willisoften 10 min of readinv is worth 10 HRS on irc09:00

DarwinSurvivorTaddle: come back if you have any questions regarding help.ubuntu.com09:01
ikoniakris021: just re-install then, that's the quicker/easier less hassle approach, make note of the new password and you're fine09:01
isabelMikey^: ok, thanks i will have look, thanks09:02
kris021ikonia: Well it wasn't that I don't know the new password, it's that I never assigned it to the new account before trying to log in to it, only to realize that it doesn't have one09:02
Mikey^kris021: just a sec, If I understand you lost your password?09:02

hansonforensicsAh, yes that would be more helpful, sorry. :)09:06
kris021I believe it may have something to do with the fact that the account has no password at all09:06
dr_willisperhaps make a new user..  and rember to add them to the admin group09:06

dr_williskris021 from the recovery/root terminal you can easially add a new user.09:09
kris021Mikey^: Yes, I wasn't logged in, just using its root priveleges09:09
kris021bohemian9485: It doesn't have admin priveleges any more because the only admin account with root access has no password, therefore no way for me to utilize them. Although, the original, which is now gone, did.09:10
kris021dr_willis: I've tried that. Got the error: Authentication manipulation error09:11
dr_willissounds to me like you got deeper issues.09:12
dr_willissanest thing to do is just do a reinstall if this is a new install09:12
kris021dr_willis: Deeper issues like what? And that's probably what I'm going to do. It was just a hassle originally because it was from Wubi, then converted to a legit dual boot09:14
dr_williskris021:  i cant imagine why root cant make a new user.  and i realluy cant understand how the guest user can unlock stuff.09:14
Mikey^I think he is just saying stuff09:14
dr_willisif the guest user can unlock the user tool. try making a new user i guess..09:14
dr_willisbut i wouldent trust the system at all..09:15
bohemian9485i remember when i lost the root password for my backtrack os, and i used ubuntu 11.10 live usb to edit the shadow file and set the password to zero string09:16
dr_willisbohemian9485:  yep. thats doable.. but  the errors mentioned. i wonder if eventhin it would work. hard to tell09:17
Mikey^bohemian9485: but kris021 cant because he doesnt know the password so he cant use sudo09:17
dr_willisif he logs in as root via the recovery console - he is root allready. no sudo needed09:17
kris021dr_willis: I would, but I can09:17
Mikey^dr_willis: yes then he gets some manipulation error09:17
kris021't unlock it because there is no password09:18
dr_williskris021:  unlock? we are not refering to using the GUI tools...09:18
bohemian9485maybe the user account does not have sudo privelege?09:18
dr_willismanipulation error - imples to me thast some of the security files are messed up.09:18
kris021dr_willis: I was referring to your statement directed to me specifically earlier09:19
bohemian9485same conclusion here09:19
dr_willisi could have had the system reinstalled by now... ;)09:19
dr_willisBut the servers seem slow for updates . not sure whats going on09:19

Mikey^kris021: use wubi and reinstall09:21
Mikey^if  thats what you used before09:21
kris021Mikey^: Like I've said already, seeing as how that's my only real course of action other than constantly using a Guest account, I will. I just said that I didn't want to due to the hassle.

icerootBoreeas: sudo service lightdm restart (12.04) sudo service gdm restart (lower then 12.04)09:38
alankilabut to do this, I had to fight broken assumptions made by libvirt about how the pages work -- at least today -- and apparmor. Took a while.09:38

alankilaso I had to mount hugetlbfs on /hugepages/libvirt/qemu then tell qemu that the pages are at /hugepages so that it appends that libvirt/qemu again -- it turns out hugepages don't work if you make further directory structure in the hugepage filesystem, but libvirt insisted on that09:39

Sawhi guys, I have a a question about packages. I can see ubuntu got packages specifically for it. What are these? why should I install them and not the "offical" ones? can I install the offical ones anyway?12:06
hwildeSaw, specifically for what12:07
* blingbling removed the ubuntu software center12:07
hwildehow does one tell which nvidia module is necessary for EVGA 52012:07
Sawhwilde - for ubuntu. for example, g++. ubuntu (lucid) got g++ 4.4.3. at GCC website, you can find 4.7. any reason I should use and not the other?12:07
Dr_WillisSaw:  use whats in the repos.12:07
ActionParsnipSaw: the packages in the repos are the official ones for Ubuntu, you may add 3rd party sources called PPAs and get newer or different software but there are no guaruntees of safety or functionality12:07
Dr_WillisSaw:  unless you have some specific needs for newer versions, then theres Unsupported PPA's out for most things.12:08
hwildehow does one tell which nvidia module is necessary for EVGA 52012:08
ActionParsniphwilde: if you upgrade or clean install to Lucid, you will be supported12:09
Sawwhat is PPA? (i'm assuming something with package, but still)12:09
jondot_in 12.04, how can i set the font size in Terminal to be a fraction? i.e. 10.6 ? it was possible in 11.0412:09
hwildeActionParsnip, dude that is a generic question12:09
hwildewhen I upgrade or install I will have the same question12:09
ActionParsnipSaw: its a 3rd party source, managed by some guy giving an extra source for packages12:09
hwildehow do you tell which nvidia module is necessary for the EVGA 520 graphics card12:09
vitshi guys, i have one question.how to download the deb packages using apt command12:09
SawActionParsnip I ment the initials, I did read what you wrote :} I have to say though it sounds a bit weird. Is there any particular reason g++ (in our example) wouldn't work on ubuntu, but work on other distributions?12:10
ActionParsniphwilde: your chip is newish so you will need the 295 driver, this will not be installable as there are no sources for packages12:10
ActionParsnip!ppa | Saw12:10
ubottuSaw: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

ActionParsniphwilde: its a newish chip so the latest will be fine. My 6150LE works with the 295 too12:11
Sawyou're saying if I use packages from ubuntu, and I have a problem with it, I'll get ubuntu support for it?12:11
hwildeno you will be told to upgrade :-D12:11
LjLSaw, it's still all voluntary support so you don't really have a guarantee of any kind unless you actually sign up for paid support from Canonical12:11
ufrgsHello guys!12:12
ActionParsnipSaw: you will get support here for the packages from the official repos12:12
ActionParsnipSaw: as long as your release isn't EOL, you'll get support12:12
ufrgsDoes anybody knows which font does Firefox uses at its source code view pages?12:12
Sawhwilde - why? lucid got LTS, it's still supported, isn't it? :P12:12
hwildedon't mind me i'm just mad at my graphics card.12:13
SawActionParsnip - EOL? and won't I get support from the offical repos if I use PPA as well?12:13
ActionParsnipSaw: indeed. Lucid is EOL in April 201412:13
ActionParsnipSaw: EOL = end of life = not supoprted12:14
SawActionParsnip - 2015 for server :P12:14

solderblobCrypto_, what about vim? nano?14:02
solderblobsudo nano grub14:02

ikoniaZentaur: what's the issue ?14:25
solderblobZentaur, there is a little slider thing that shows you windows on the left and ubuntu on the right, you can adjust that, 250 gb is fine14:25
ikoniatailf: crontab does not have your environment setup14:25
ikoniatailf: eg: when you run it's managing YOUR enviornment, when crontab does it, it's no-ones14:25

ikoniakarthick87: partition schema is personal to you14:27

ikoniatailf: if it was my machine, that' show I'd do it, hardcode my displsy settings14:28

ZaNeIuMDr_Willis how would it be done, would you mind trying it?14:53
Dr_Willisgccster:  theres some known power saveing issues with some devices/chipsets. Id say check the forums and askubuntu.com for your exact make/model laptop. and they Might have some work arounds and tweaks.14:53
raptor_@<Dr_Willis> can you suggest anything else bcz ubuntu as username is not working14:53
Dr_WillisZaNeIuM:  just a quick google search shows --> http://serverfault.com/questions/12419/monitor-an-incoming-ssh-session-in-real-time14:54

zykotick9raptor_: i've never liked persistent usb installs, i've found doing a proper install to the usb (including grub to usb) a lot more useful - then persistant installs.14:57

SolarisBoysharko: what do you mean get it to work? how are you trying to make it work? or do you expect it to work?15:08
Dr_Willisvg-loc:  i just use themes from the repos. or the webupd8 sites ppa's15:08
NcAsharko: you need to be a bit more specific15:08
vg-loccan u give me the link15:08
NcAsharko: did you install it via aptitude?15:08
sharkoSolarisBoy i used sudo get-app instail15:08
SolarisBoysharko: ok - and what exactly are you looking to happen now?15:08
Dr_Willisvg-loc:   the sites name is 'webupd8'15:09
Dr_Willisvg-loc:  they got a ppa. with some nice themes in it15:09
SolarisBoysharko: php is a language generally used to produce dynamic web content15:09
zykotick9gccster: get it working you mean?  ya.  (i've never had this h/w so don't really know the specifics) but you need to install bumblebee and or research more on nvidia-optimus support in linux15:09
vg-locand how to install them ??15:09
Dr_Willisvg-loc:  since its a PPA.. you use the normal package manager tools....15:09
SolarisBoysharko: are you running php in some webserver which is configured to execute PHP files and have php files in your web root and are seeing an issue?15:09
gccsterzykotick9, im sure its hardware acceleration problem15:09
SolarisBoysharko: else PHP generally doesn't do anything by itself..15:10
vg-locdo i need a ware to install it or something ?15:10
zykotick9gccster: i think, once you have bumblebee properly working the nvidia driver starts to work properly (ie acceleration)15:10
sharkowell SolarisBoy it to open in terminator and i dont have one as im working on someing for a mates server he just wnats me to code15:10
gccsterzykotick9, where can i find bubmblebe?15:10
Dr_Willisvg-loc:  You may want to spend some time learning some more ubuntu basics. you add the ppa, the items appear in the normal software center/synaptic/apt-get tools.. same as all the other apps do.15:10
Xeliaaaargh pulseaudio ;((15:11
SolarisBoysharko: you dont open the php binary, it interprets php code15:11
zykotick9gccster: no idea ;)15:11
Dr_Willisvg-loc:  the webupd8 pages detail exactly how to install the themes using apt-get15:11
gccsterzykotick9, do u know what is it?15:11
sharkoSolarisBoy ok then how to i get it to run then15:11

zykotick9!notunity | matelot15:24
ubottumatelot: 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".

smithwHi, I'm having wi-fi woes. I have 8GB RAM, so I installed 12.04 64-bit. My wireless is not automatically picked by Ubuntu, so on to ndiswrapper. The 64-bit version of my card's window driver makes calls to functions package-ndiswrapper don't have (IoWMI family). So I compiled ndiswrapper from SVN, which has those functions implemented, but now it fails with "ioremap failed", and I don't know where to go now.16:02
melkorShanth: you can see how much it is d/loading, there is not much.16:02
stars69hi, is there away i can set desktop sharing application on auto start when system started?16:02
TheAlliedFleetI choose the disk image within furius and click the mount button. Does (fuse) (loop) (Md5) and (SHA1) have anything to do with it ikonia16:02
melkorsmithw: Who told you to install ndiswrapper?16:02
Shanthhow much  more after Get:2316:03
ActionParsnipstars69: add a startup item to run the command you run16:03
smithwmelkor, I've used it before (on other computers). Also, I don't think there is a native driver for my wireless card (RTL8723AE).16:03
Shanthdo internet connection necessary while installing ubuntu 12.0416:04
melkorsmithw: I don't think you need ndiswrapper.16:04

VirtualBlacknessAFD: do you have two specific GPUs?16:05
=== VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top
smithwmelkor, if there is a better solution, I'm all ears. I'd rather have a native driver anyway. However, evidently b43 isn't that driver...16:05
Shanthbut , i think due to that reason apt-get update is taking much time for running first time16:05

ikoniaAFD: you just need to setup two seperate X servers in the xorg.conf16:06
AFDikonia: ok I'll try it16:07
aguitelany gui to manage boot order ?16:07
smithwmelkor, nope. 12.04 uses b43 by default, and it does not claim my wireless card, as reported by lshw -C network...16:07
ActionParsnipstars69: use the startup items command in dash16:07
zykotick9L3top: fyi you need "lscpi -v" to see multiple cards if it's hybrid16:08
L3topUnfortunately AFD I only know how to do that identifying and assigning the PCI busses. Nvidia has a twinview setting.16:08
smithwI haven't seem the dmesg with which b43 fail, though.16:08
L3topThat is not my experience zykotick916:08
ActionParsnipaguitel: do you want windows to be default in grub by any chance?16:08
WalterNaguitel: there is, I dont remember what its called though... lemme see if I can find it16:08
L3topSorry zykotick9 I thought you were referring to optimus etc... you are likely correct16:08
aguitelActionParsnip, no i have other linux os16:08
zykotick9L3top: if it's 2 or more inpendent cards the -v isn't required, only for optimus16:08
AFDL3top: Ill look in to it. thanks for the help16:09
L3topOptimus displays two zykotick9.16:09
melkorsmithw: did you check this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=160410116:09
L3topintel and nvidia... however there are all sorts of combinations now, intel/ati ati/ati intel/intel... I do not know how they would display, nor a single card with multiple outputs as they are on the same bus it seems.16:10
zykotick9L3top: with lscpi?  if you have the hardware you'd be the one to know!  but when asked to post lspci pastes, i often see only the intel mentioned?!16:10
melkorsmithw: it looks like you can d/load and build the drivers.16:10
L3topzykotick9: I have to write detection routines, so I see them just about every day when someone is complaining my code isn't working... but I have never had an optimus that did not display both.16:11
smithwmelkor, I might be missing something, but that thread is about RTL8188CE, and my wireless card is a RTL8723AE. are they compatible/should I try it anyway?16:11
zykotick9L3top: interesting, thanks.16:11
bigpapais there away to see if ubuntu recognizes both display adapters?16:11

spiritechdoes anyone know how to turn off remember window state?16:12
smithwmelkor, also the download page linked doesn't have a driver for 872316:12
zykotick9L3top: prior to bumblebee (or other), does the video get detected differently?16:12
ActionParsnipstars69: what do you use VNC to connect to achieve, often VNC isn't needed and there are more graceful solutions16:12
Kyle__L3top: multiple cards from multiple vendors with multiple heads work in linux.  I've tried it.16:12
Kyle__And can I say multiple one more time.16:12
spiritechi run the --geometry option when openning a app from the terminal and it ignores the argument.16:13
Kyle__L3top: Mind you, it wasn't the prettiest setup, it was awhile ago, and I had to make the xorg.conf by hand :)16:13

zykotick9satop1: are you using compiz?16:14
satop1no16:14
ActionParsnipbigpapa: the only way I can think with Intel is to make an xorg.conf. I've not used dual dispaly outside Nvidia so am not much help.16:14
melkorsmithw: I think if you dload that one, and build the driver and install it you will not have an additional problem. If the driver doesn't work/isn't compatible it won't be used.16:14
satop1is there another place to set mouse cursor theme ?16:15
smithwmelkor, thanks for your help, I'll try it then :)16:15
Kyle__bigpapa: if the unity/gnome panels aren't seeing it, you need to start making a custom xorg.conf, usually starting with X -configure (as root, from the command line).16:15
melkorsmithw: what kernel are you using.16:15
spiritechIkonia: i am trying to use it whit nautilus and search for files.16:15
bigpapaActionParsnip thank you for your help, i should have bought nvidia lol16:15
ikoniaspiritech: I don't know if nautilus will abide by it16:16
bigpapaKyle do you happen to know a good how to on that? i'm a noobie linux user16:16
Kyle__bigpapa: I think if you google for multi head ubuntu X -configure it should bring you to something.16:17

L3topzykotick9: We do not use bumblebee, I dedicate the discrete gpu because we are graphics intensive and need accelleration16:18
Kyle__stars69: To connect to remote desktops or to remote into your own desktop?16:18
L3topKyle__: I know they work, I just haven't figured out how to auto-generate an xorg.conf using them16:18
stars69Kyle__, To connect to remote desktops16:18
spiritechstars69 i always found remmina quiet good16:19
Kyle__stars69: Actually, ubuntu comes with both, so I don't know why I asked.... I think if you click on the unity icon and type remote desktop viewer it should be right there.16:19
Kyle__stars69: Then wen it comes up, there's a drop-down to let you select vnc ssh or rdp.  If rdp doesn't show up you need to download err... holdon..lemmie think of the name.  Something like rdesktop?16:19
stars69Kyle__, those came with ubuntu are sucks ass16:19

StumpyHello16:20
ment0sI dont know if you guys can help me.., I have 1TB NTFS Hard drive with movies etc but ubuntu is recognizing it as 3 partitions and i cant acces it. The HDD contains one big partiton NTFS which works no bother windows.. any ideas whats wrong ?16:20
melkorsmithw: I don't know if the 8723 is the device you are looking for, there might be a different number you need.16:20
StumpyI don't have access to a hard-line internet connection, I only have wireless available to me. I want to install Ubuntu 12.04, but need the restricted hardware tool to get wireless set up. How do I get around this?16:21
Kyle__stars69: For several versions the vnc viewer in there was laggy (that was a gnome problem, not ubuntu's), but always worked well enough for me.  If you want something other than that, tigervncvewer is fantastic for vnc, google it, and you can download rdesktop to give it a shot.16:22
smithwmelkor, 8723 is the device according to lspci -nn (03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:8723]), but I know sometimes drivers work with multiple devices16:22

L3topWiz_KeeD: be patient. You do not actually have a problem. I am trying to help people with problems... your not understanding "why" is not indicative of something broken.16:28
ment0sL3top: it looks like partition table failed but under windows  works fine and see only one partition16:28
Wiz_KeeDi am patient it's ok, thanks16:28

melkorsmithw: you could try d/loading and older kernel from the mainline ppa16:45
knutremikourtney_kane: I checked it now. It's changeable through the Advanced Settings application, yes. Search for "Advanced Settings" in the software center.16:46
ment0ssmithw: 32bit version does support more than 4gb ram ?16:46
kourtney_kaneknutremi: i am getting dependency error16:47
smithwmelkor, which one? some from the 2.x line?16:47
melkorsmithw: I would say 3.016:47
lundment0s, yes with pae16:47
kourtney_kaneThe following packages have unmet dependencies:16:47

kourtney_kane               Depends: gnome-session-common (= 3.2.1-0ubuntu8) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu8 is to be installed16:47
smithwment0s, does it? the only reason I installed the 64-bit version is the fact that this laptop has 8GB ram16:47
smithwment0s, if there is a way to access all my RAM with a 32-bit version, please do tell!16:47
melkorsmithw: ment0s 32bit os's cannot address more than 4 gigs16:48
ment0ssmithw: ^read lund post16:48
kourtney_kanecan you help16:48
lundsmithw, pae, afaik this default on 32 bit in 12.0416:49
knutremikourtney_kane: Are you able to cite some of the information in the dependency error. Or is that all the information you got?16:49
ment0ssmithw: i had server with 6gb ram and pae kernel reads it no bother16:49
kourtney_kanegnome-session: Depends: gnome-session-bin (>= 3.2.1-0ubuntu8) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu8 is to be installed16:49
kourtney_kane             Depends: gnome-session-common (= 3.2.1-0ubuntu8) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu8 is to be installed16:49
smithwlund, so all I'd have to do is install 12.04 32-bit and my RAM would already be there? (I'd do a clean install, this is a new laptop anyway)16:49
kourtney_kanethese are unmet dependencies16:49
ment0ssmithw: and installer detect ram automaticlly so it chosed kernel itself16:50
ment0ssmithw: just install it as normal and it w16:50
ment0ssmithw: just install it as normal and it will do the rest16:50
smithwso, it seems I have two options now, go for kernel 3.0.0 or 32-bit/PAE version...16:50
smithwment0s, how would I know if PAE is active and all my RAM is being used?16:51
knutremikourtney_kane: I never figured out how to solve those dependency errors. I guess you have another question that needs answering now. ;)16:51

Dead_AssClownim new to ubuntu17:00
smithwment0s, I'm not experienced enough to manage multiple kernels on a single machine, but I can try and learn how to that also17:00
smithw*to do17:00
Dead_AssClownidle can't import Tkinter.  Your Python may not be configured for Tk.17:01
ment0ssmithw: you can also come back to your old kernel anytime, it will be listed on boot menu in grub17:01
knutremikourtney_kane: I'm out of suggestions. You could try installing a theme from http://ubuntu-art.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100 though. So guarantees that it will make things better though.17:01
smithwment0s, but wouldn't that break compatibility with 64-bit drivers/applications?17:02
ment0sapplications could have some problems but new kernel mean new drivers also17:02
melkorsmithw: If this page works for you, the driver seems to have your chipset in it. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=53&PFid=53&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8192DE-VC17:03

TynachKyle__, no, this is on a 1 - 3 year old ASUS motherboard.18:12
Tynachikonia, I'm currently reinstalling Ubuntu (with the exact same setup, but formatting all relevant partitions and redoing the LVM), so if it happens again, I will note the error.18:12
Kyle__Tynach: Hum.  I don't recall hearing about EFI on asuses, but I"m not expert on them either.... This just rings a bell for when I had to install ubuntu-server on a system with EFI.18:12
TynachKyle__, if it were EFI, it wouldn't have worked in 11.10 and 11.04.18:13

Tynachikonia, because I'm using LVM, I presume I'll need to use a LiveCD that is not Ubuntu? Ubuntu LiveCD doesn't come with LVM.18:29
ikoniarahulwadh: don't need that sort of nonsense here18:29

L3topikonia: couldn't Tynach install LVM from the live disk?18:30
Tynachikonia, not really, but I'm using LVM as a sort of RAID. Here's a description of my setup: https://plus.google.com/u/0/110992079327865803047/posts/eYfhiK4Gecr18:30
shawerahulwadh, its backlight to 0 on start?18:30
TynachKyle__, the alternate installer isn't exactly a LiveCD.18:30
ikoniaL3top: no, not without a signigicant error18:31
ikoniaL3top: significant effort sorrt18:31
Kyle__Tynach: Good point, was thinking installing :)18:31
Node_556thankz DJones18:31
FisherActionParsnip, I usually know how to fix repository errors but this one has got me, can someone take a look. http://paste.ubuntu.com/996072/18:31
Kyle__Tynach: you're using lvm mirroring, but not on /boot, right?  lvm mirroring on boot can cause a system to be non-bootable.18:31
MadarChodBhosDKL3top: Here are the contents of etc/apt/sources.list.d/oneiric.partner.list------> http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner #Added by software-center18:31
TynachL3top, I probably could, good point. ikonia, you sure? I thought as long as you had enough RAM (I have 6GB), you could install stuff in the LiveCD session. Kyle__, alternate installer is what I used to install; and just went through the reinstall, with the same issue.18:31
shaweif "problem" persists, you can put on rc.local a command for replace brightness to 100% on boot, isn't the best solution, but you don't need to do it manually anymore18:32
TynachKyle__, no, not mirroring, striping. And /boot is a normal ext4 partition.18:32
DaDaDOSPromptupdate manager moving slowly for anyone else today?18:32

DaDaDOSPromptdownloads are quite slow, but nothing else is18:32
L3topMadarChodBhosDK: is there anything else in /etc/apt/sources.list.d other than that?18:32
ikoniaTynach: you have partitions for the the LVM section, are their partition types marked as "LVM"18:33
Tynachikonia, yes. They are.18:33
Kyle__Tynach: OK.  I thought you said that before, just wanted to make sure :)    Never tried lvm striping myself...18:33
MadarChodBhosDKL3top: yes18:33
ikoniaTynach: I'm not being funny - I'm just checking all is well, so "how do you know", or what are you doing to check/confirm that18:33

prateekpi was installing eclipse i follwed all the steps given on link http://colinrrobinson.com/technology/install-eclipse-ubuntu/ but at the execution it says an error18:34
L3topI said is there anything ELSE, meaning other than that MadarChodBhosDK. MadarChodBhosDK: if it were me, I would delete everything in the sources.list.d directory and update.18:34
Kyle__ikonia: They actually don't need to be marked LVM.  I do it anyway, but that part isn't necesasary.  Usually.18:34
ikoniaKyle__: it really depends,18:35
prateekpthe error is bash: /opt/eclipse/eclipse: cannot execute binary file18:35
Tynachikonia, I understand, this is all troubleshooting :) And, I simply remember in the Alternate installer, because I redid the LVM. I made sure to only use my two LVM partitions; right now just the 200 GB and the 100GB from the 500GB that partially has Windows on it (if you read my Google+ post that I linked).18:35
Kyle__prateekp: Are you sure you're using the right version?  32bit for 32bit, amd64 for amd64?18:35
ikoniaTynach: how are you confirming the partition type is set to LBM18:36
ikoniaLVM18:36
ActionParsnipprateekp: does the file exist and is it executabl18:36
MadarChodBhosDKL3top: there are two files in that directory each with the same content....I am trying deleting and updating now18:36
prateekpyes it exist and is executable18:36
prateekpbut nothing happens on double clicking it18:36
domino14if theres a program that is doing a very bad job of fragmenting memory, can i see the total memory usage of the process with ps aux?18:36
Tynachikonia, right now I'm still at the grub rescue> prompt. How would you recommend I confirm? Because right now I'm just going off memory, which I understand is insufficient.18:37
Kyle__prateekp: Try running file on it.  file /opt/eclipse/eclipse or whatever it is.18:37
L3topMadarChodBhosDK: also check that cat /etc/apt/sources.list does not contain any PPAs18:37
ikoniaTynach: I'm guessing based on experience (and I should say this is only a guess) the second disk in your LVM config isn't spinning up fast enough for the volume to start at boot time18:37
domino14or is that inaccurate? if free -m shows that theres 2 gb of memory left, but it's super fragmented, do i know this info?18:37
L3topman thats clever ikonia. Wouldn't have occurred to me.18:37
ActionParsnipprateekp: what is the output of: uname -a; file /opt/eclipse/eclipse18:38
Tynachikonia, interesting. It worked for 11.10 though.18:38
ikoniaTynach: you may want to use a livecd, install lvm and manually assemble the volume group, mount the logical volume and verify it's integrity18:38
escottdomino14, you can access the raw memory map in /proc/PID there might be a tool to measure fragmentation of that18:38
ikoniaTynach: also verify the grub config18:38
Tynachikonia, will do. On that note, how do I verify the grub config?18:38
prateekpthe output of 'file /opt/eclipse/eclipse': ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, not stripped18:38
ActionParsnipdomino14: fragmented memory?18:38
ikoniaTynach: try setting the grub configs root to /dev/vg00/root_lv or what ever it's called18:38
Kyle__ikonia: Box with lots of fast scsi drives starting staggered?18:39
domino14escott: free -m shows theres about 17% of memory usage, but my program is crashing because of "out of memory", which makes no sense, right?18:39
andrew_word?18:39
domino14ActionParsnip: i dont know, im out of ideas18:39
ikoniaKyle__: I'm guessing, nothing more, as I have no info to work with18:39
MadarChodBhosDKL3top: no there are only precise universe multiverse links in /etc/apt/sources.list18:39
domino14can ram get really fragmented so an allocator cant find contiguous blocks?18:39
Kyle__ikonia: Ah.  I was wondering where you've experienced that, and that's the only situation I coudl think of.18:39
domino14am i just pulling that out of somewhere?18:39
ActionParsnipprateekp: and: uname -a18:39
Kyle__prateekp: And what does uname -a say?18:39
ikoniaTynach: look at the grub grub.cfg and make sure it's pointing at vaid devices,18:39
prateekpLinux papri 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux18:40
escottdomino14, it would be almost impossible on 64bit. but on 32bit R would do that all the time because it tried to malloc a contiguous array, but could not because its virtual address space is fragmented. usually programs are better about that and give a more accurate error message18:40
Tynachikonia, I have the volume group named vg_root and the logical volume named lv_root. Booting into the LiveCD right now.18:40
Kyle__prateekp: You've got a 32bit kernel, and installed the 64bit version of ecplise.  Download and install the 32bit version of eclipse.18:40
ActionParsnipdomino14: the memory management in the kernel will prevent that18:40
L3topok MadarChodBhosDK, do whatever it was you were doing that brought you here to begin with after update is finished18:40
ikoniaTynach: yhou may want to consider (just a thought) changing the grub root option to /dev/vg_root/lv_root18:40
ikoniaTynach: that will remove any possability the uuid is wrong18:40
prateekpok so does it mean that 32 bit application runs on my OS18:40
prateekpand one more thing how u get to know that my kernel is 32 bit18:41
Kyle__prateekp: Yes.  It means only 32bit applications can run.18:41
Kyle__prateekp: Because it said i686.18:41
MadarChodBhosDKL3top: ok...18:41
prateekpand what is for 64 bit18:41
ActionParsnipKyle__: thanks, typing on a GT540 is hard with these thumbs18:41
prateekp?18:41
Tynachikonia, when I was trying to reinstall grub manually, I used the alternate installer to get into a root environment using /dev/vg_root/lv_root. Here is the command I used:18:41
Tynachgrub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda18:41
Kyle__prateekp: The 64bit 86 kernels all say x86_6418:42
zykotick9prateekp: 64bit is x86_6418:42
Kyle__ActionParsnip: No problem.  I _hate_ complex typing with my thumbs.18:42
ActionParsnipprateekp: x86_6418:42
Kyle__or typing period with them.../18:42
Tynach / at the time was the filesystem in /dev/vg_root/lv_root, and I also had previously mounted /dev/sda5 (the 100 MB /boot partition) to /boot.18:42
* L3top resists temptation 18:42
ikoniaTynach: root isn't /dev/sda18:43
Tynachikonia, read my line again. --root-directory=/18:43
TynachNote the 'slash'.18:43
Tynach/dev/sda was the device I installed grub to.18:43
ActionParsnipKyle__: handy on bus journeys :-)18:43
Kyle__grub supports booting off of an LVM /boot now... will the ubuntu installer let you do it?18:43
ikoniaKyle__: didn't think it did support that18:44
Kyle__ActionParsnip: I hear ya.18:44
TynachKyle__, I kept hearing that from people in #debian, but I'm not going to risk it.18:44
Kyle__ikonia: Grub does, but most distro-installers don't.18:44
Kyle__Tynach: That's how I found out not to LVM mirror /boot18:44

ikoniaTynach: never seen that before, not sure what the reference to flexnet is about19:05
wilee-nileeDiddy403, it is theoretically a dualboot it may run slower, and will only be a file in windows.19:06
Tynachikonia, I know that Maya (3D program) uses a system called FlexLM for DRM. But that was older versions; newer versions don't use it. Is there a way to override that decision and use 'sector 55' anyway?19:06
ikoniaTynach: flexlm is totally different, don't confuse that19:06
ikoniaTynach: that's a distributed method19:06
escottTynach, you could dd over the mbr including sector 55. that way grub won't find any flexnet data19:06
ikoniaescott: careful this is an lvm locical volume, so don't remove the lvm header19:07
Tynachikonia, I 'man update-grub''d, and according to it it's a stub for grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. So I tried grub-mkconfig -o /media/biglonghexfolderformountedlv/boot/grub/grub.cfg.19:12

escott_raven, you might see if gnu octave has some ability to do this19:31

Zally666*server19:32
milazsisar: that shortcut is for __moving__ tabs, not for cycling through them19:32
milazsisar: for cycling, there's CTRL+PgDn or CTRL+PgU[19:32

KomiaPoi1ahow do i disable Nouveau kernel driver?19:34
rlyIs there some software which records my desktop and audio, but also actually works (as opposed to recordmydesktop)?19:34
escott_raven, ive used it before19:35
whiskers75rly: istanbul?19:35
escott_raven, but not for this19:35
milazKomiaPoi1a: blacklist it and then 'sudo update-initramfs -u'19:35
Tynachrly, recordmydesktop works fine for me. But you have to configure it.19:35
_ravenescott could you help me how to find out how this could work?19:35
KomiaPoi1amilaz: how do i blacklist it?19:35
_ravenescott i know nothing about this yet19:35
ConradzzIs there a way to revert previous updates?19:35
escott_raven, i honestly have no idea how this would be done, and matlab syntax is a pain so it might not be worth it19:36
milazKomiaPoi1a: see /etc/modprobe.d/19:36

rlyTynach: what parts are you talking about?19:36
ment0sanyone can help me with that graphic issue?19:37
milazKomiaPoi1a: and put there a line 'blacklist nouveau'19:37
rlyTynach: I am talking about basic things like tearing, etc.19:37
rlyTynach: i.e., the quality stinks.19:37
rly!istanbul19:37
milazKomiaPoi1a: or, just add that line to blacklist.conf19:37
Tynachrly, you have to make it record entire frames and so forth.19:38
rlywhiskers75: can you point at a demo video recorded with that?19:38
auronandace!info istanbul | rly19:38
ubotturly: istanbul (source: istanbul): Desktop session recorder producing Ogg Theora video. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.2-8.1ubuntu2 (precise), package size 67 kB, installed size 492 kB19:38
KomiaPoi1amilaz: thx19:38
Tynachrly, by default it won't record the entire frames, so it won't work properly in 3D desktop environments like Unity.19:38
terafl0ps_raven, have you seen this?  Maybe one of the non-realtime tools would work for you.  http://fourms.wiki.ifi.uio.no/Audio_analysis#Non-realtime_Visualization_Tools19:38

terafl0ps_raven, I've never used any of those myself though.19:40
rlyTynach: I would think that something that is distributed for Ubuntu (which has millions of installations) should you know... work in the default configuration.19:40
milazcan anybody help me?19:40
milazafter update to 12.04, i got stuttuttuteringringring video and audio playback19:41
rlyTynach: Ubuntu shouldn't even distribute such bad applications.19:41
milazis there any ideas where should i look at to see what's wrong?19:41
ConradzzDoes anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?  I ran the updates ubuntu asked, and after restarting I get a hard freeze and can't log in19:41
rlyConradzz: insert LiveCD19:42
Conradzzand then do what rly?19:42
Tynachrly, it's not because it's a bad program, it's because it's one of those 'not officially supported, but included' programs. For such programs, you're expected to know how to use the program before downloading it, and if you don't, you can always look online for more information.19:42
milazin dmesg, i once got that: CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20113 nsec19:43
rlyConradzz: I won't hold your hand. Someone else might want to do that. It's my opinion that Linux should work and otherwise it doesn't deserve to be popular.19:43
TynachAh, so you're basically a troll, rly.19:43
milazand once the message was 'Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 4686967280 ns)'19:44
Conradzzbasically19:44
milaz'Switching to clocksource acpi_pm'19:44
rlyTynach: no, if people decide to send out crap to consumers, it's their problem.19:44
=== tomtiger11 is now known as botnick
rlyTynach: complain to Canonical.19:44
terafl0psmilaz, you wouldn't happen to be working in a virtual machine would you?19:44
Tynachrly, we aren't consumers. We aren't buying anything. If you bought official (over the phone) support from canonical, THEN you can complain. Until then, you aren't a consumer.19:44
rlyI can point people in the right direction, but if an OS needs support, they already lost, imho.\19:45
Conradzzrly, why are you here?19:45
Tynachrly, I guess that means RedHat and Microsoft both already lost. They both need support.19:45
rlyTynach: and indeed they did.19:45
milazterafl0ps: no, it's real machine19:45
L3topWhich OS do you use that works ootb on absolutely everything? Where can I find this magic?19:45
rlyTynach: Microsoft is losing big time as we speak.19:45
auronandace!ot | rly19:45
ubotturly: #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!19:45
milazterafl0ps: first, i thought that virtualbox kernel modules can be causing that19:46
Tynachrly, in fact, you could go so far as to say that every OS in existence has lost. EVERY operating system needs support.19:46
milazterafl0ps: so, i did a completely clean install onto a clean partition19:46
auronandaceTynach: stick to support pease19:46
TynachKyle__, ikonia, I've successfully fixed that error. Now, I'm going to have to know how to check my grub configuration to see if it's valid/working.19:46
auronandaceplease19:46
TynachSorry auronandace. Back to asking/answering questions.19:46
ConradzzWas there an update to X-org in the past 2-3 days?19:47
milazterafl0ps: then, I ruled out video card drivers19:48
milazthat bug persists both with nouveau and nvidia19:48
rlyConradzz: I am fairly sure Ubuntu has some tool that allows you to see which upgrades you applied.19:48
ConradzzI'm viewing my dpkg.log right now and can see all the updates that were applied rly19:49
john3voltasgreetings19:49
rlyConradzz: I think there's also some GUI frontend.19:49
milazrly: in Ubuntu Software Center, there's History section19:49
Conradzzubuntu software center I believe is suppsoe to be it19:49
rlymilaz: which is integrated with dpkg.log, I hope?19:49
Conradzzya, but for some reason it won't open19:49
milazrly: i didn't check the sources, but that is very likely19:50
ConradzzI booted recovery partition, dropped into root, mounted filesystem, used startx19:50
Conradzzso basically I'm in ubuntu now, but with hardly any drivers, etc19:50
rlymilaz: do you think it's reasonable for an upgrade to take >16 hours excluding the time to download?19:50
john3voltasi'm having problems with casper. i'm trying live-media=/dev/sda1 live-media-path=ubuntu and my ubuntu doesn't boot.19:50
milazrly: absolutely not19:51
wilee-nileerly, depends on your net speed.19:51
john3voltastook this info from http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man7/casper.7.html19:51
rlywilee-nilee: no, it does not.19:51
rlywilee-nilee: it would help if you would _read_.19:51
TynachOk, I looked through the grub config and I cannot for the life of me find any problems, or anywhere that it's looking for the UUID that it's choking on.19:51
rlymilaz: well, that's the time it takes.19:51
milazrly: why?19:51
TynachSo, anyone: is there a way to list all devices that have Grub installed on them? I would like to remove any other grub installations.19:51
milaza lot of packages?19:51
rlymilaz: because there is no ssd in this device.\19:51
wilee-nileerly, if you had a dialup that was really slow it could take as long as it takes.19:51
milazor some particular package?19:52
rlywilee-nilee: please take my advice.19:52
TomatoKetchupwilee-nilee, , he said excluding time to download19:52
terafl0psmilaz, that message about the unstable clock source rang a bell because I once had to configure a kernel to use acpi instead of the  programmable interrupt timer (pit) because my VM's always had time running too fast inside them.19:52
rlymilaz: 3200 packages19:52
terafl0psIt was causing a number of programs to get confused.19:52
rlymilaz: the basic problem is that is does way too many diskseeks, I think.19:52
krababbelrly: imagine doing it on floppies19:53
wilee-nileeTomatoKetchup, ah, lol what a friendly response from rly just makes you want to help. :)19:53
milazterafl0ps: can you please give me some pointers how to do that?19:53
rlykrababbel: I can also imagine doing it on punch cards. Can you be even more off-topic?19:53
bugz__i need help about mon019:53
milazterafl0ps: I can try that way to see if that works19:53
milazrly: are you sure your HDD is not dying?19:54
bugz__i need help about mon019:54
terafl0psI really have no idea if that will help or not, but I just passed in a boot flag to do it in grub, like this: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/12093119:54
milazrly: i had something similar before i lost my zeroth sector on HDD along with other valuable information19:54
rlymilaz: I cannot be sure, but a 5400rpm disk simply isn't that fast.19:54
bugz__hhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllpppppppppppppppp19:55
rlymilaz: it's not a very large disk and as such has low cache and low-data density.19:55
bugz__i need help about mon019:55
rlymilaz: it's really just Ubuntu which is not efficient.19:55
rlymilaz: the kernel is efficient, but the package management is not.19:55
bugz__can anyone help19:56
bugz__plz19:56
OerHeksbugz__, just ask your question, wait and see19:56
milazrly: curiously< i'm having problem with kernel right now :)19:56
Tynachrly, you don't know what you're talking about, so if you aren't asking an Ubuntu related support question, you may not want to keep talking.19:56
rlyTynach: uhm, yes, I do know what I am talking about.\19:56
rlyTynach: who are you to say that I don't?19:57
TynachI'm taking this to private message, because it's off topic to the channel.19:57

bugz__trying to get aircrack to work for my cousin19:59
john3voltasanyone can help me with my casper problem?19:59
terafl0psmilaz, you may want to double check that it's still called acpi_pm because I think Ubuntu runs a newer kernel than in that post, but yes.19:59

auronandaceConradzz: remember you stopped it earlier?20:04
Conradzzunrcognized service auronandace, no I didn't20:04
pznmilaz, all app windows work in "fullscreen" mode20:04

auronandaceConradzz: ah, sorry, if you are using 11.10 or higher: sudo service lightdm restart20:06
milazbugz__: it probably might help if you exactly quote the whole error message20:06
rlyIt turns out that Tynach is some 21 guy still in college without even a CS degree. I advice anyone to not enter any discussion with him.20:06

pznmilaz, if I install ubuntu inside a virtualbox, could I set the screensize to 800x480? does it make some difference between a real video card and a virtualbox video card?20:07
Tynachrly, that's important because..?20:07

Gneabond_: yes, you can do gtalk with irssi. sorry, my bad: https://gist.github.com/70913620:16
Dr_Willisfreshone0:  so... you need to clarify what it is you want to do exactly.   you just asked how to format the hard disk.. when aparently you mean you want to 'resize the filesystems'20:16

freshone0how does one do it20:17
Gneafreshone0: then it would be 498.9 and 1.120:17
Dr_Willisfreshone0:  so.. you want it how exactly? and how is it now?20:17
Gneafreshone0: also, how much RAM do you have?20:18
Dr_Willisfreshone0:  a pastebin of 'sudo fdisk -l' output may help clarify things also.20:18
OerHeksfreshone0, use a live cd, so the HDD is not mounted and you are free to do as you want20:18
pznfreshone0, swap can run on partitions and also on filesystems (filesystems swap performance is a little slower than partition swaps). try a filesystem partition.  dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swapfile bs=1M count=1024; mkswap /var/swapfile; chmod 0 /var/swapfile; then put "/var/swapfile" on /etc/fstab20:19

Tynachrly, Unity works as a compiz plugin. To restart it, run compiz --replace.20:34

remlabmi am having an issue with Ubuntu and Eclipse. For some reason, when i search for updates, ex: marketplace, php, nothing shows up in the box below. Also when creating a new project i dont have any of the default perspectives. I have uninstalled+purged all eclipse settings but yet cannot get it to work. any ideas?20:44
terafl0psI normally just max out the volume with the up arrow key and then bring it back down.20:44
alankilaremlabm: maybe you installed the ubuntu repo eclipse. afaik they break the update functionality and marketplace to make it not update itself or something such20:45
terafl0psThat should equalize the channels.20:45
alankilaI suggest just getting the eclipse as a .tar.gz and then launching it from its directory20:45
remlabmalankila: is there another repo i can grab it from? the eclipse PPA says it hasnt been updated since 200920:45
alankilaremlabm: eclipse.com :-p20:45
remlabmha, ok20:45
remlabmdidnt think of that20:45
alankilaor was it eclipse.org. Anyway20:46
lionofgodterafl0ps: No I mean, when my left ehadphone is at 50 and my right is at 10, then the sound is equal, why?20:46
ubukouauronandace, i got what i needed over there, thanks again for the time20:46
auronandaceubukou: no worries :)20:46
alankilaeclipse is very neat software in that the directory is perfectly self-contained, there's no installation to think about. I just leave it on desktop and fire it up from there20:46
terafl0psAh, I'm not sure why that is happening.  I was hoping it was unequal in alsamixer when you first opened it up and equalizing it there would fix it.20:47
lionofgodterafl0ps: is their a better place I can ask #pulseaudio wont respond to my question20:48
terafl0psIs the sound unequal in every application?20:48
lionofgodYes20:48
jaldharalankila: I'll consider that but the neat freak in me likes to have everything in .debs as far as possible.  And it used to work, its just the upgrade that seems to have borked it.20:49
TynachXD I fixed my problem, almost. I was installing grub to the wrong hard drive, and of course it wasn't booting from the one I DID install grub to. So I fixed that, but I didn't have /boot mounted properly, so grub now only shows Windows XD20:49
TynachSo, at least now I have a working computer.20:49
terafl0psI'm  (obviously) not the only person around here.  Stick around in the channel.  Someone else may have some other ideas.20:50
lionofgodterafl0ps: yes all applicatios have unbalanced sound20:50
ubukouauronandace, social standards are so many times missing from some channels.. its good to be nice to people helps make linux communities better.20:51
terafl0psThere are definitely some issues with sound in this release.  I had to use alsamixer to get audio working in my headphones this morning because plugging in headphones was cutting off all audio completely.20:51
ubukouauronandace, hope you understand what im talking about, my english are not so good.20:51
lionofgodterafl0ps: Do you know of any other place where I can ask for help?20:51
auronandaceubukou: your english is better than many native speakers20:52
alankilajaldhar: I personally view debs as evil, mostly because I'd like things to just come in separate directories with no package manager required, or at most very simple packaging manager required...20:52
terafl0psI would have though pulseaudio would have been a good place to ask too.  I sometimes helps to post in the forums too if the IRC channel is really quiet.20:53
lionofgodterafl0ps: Okay, guess I will post in Ubuntu forums20:54
remlabmalankila: worked, thanks!20:55
alankilaremlabm: yeh, this is one of the places where distros just do a disservice to its package users20:56
alankilathe packaged result is worse than the original which needed no packaging in the first place20:56

terafl0pslionofgod, (still in-channel I think) had unbalanced audio in his headphones, and I found another alsamixer workaround but he had to have his left at 10% and his right at 50% t get equal audio.21:01

kemal12.04: from Unity to Gnome, how ??21:06
terafl0psmilaz, It might be interesting to test with the previous version of pulseaudio assuming that was upgraded in 12.04.21:06
milazterafl0ps: I'm willing to test that21:07
milazterafl0ps: is there any way to downgrade the package?21:07
auronandace!gnome3 | kemal21:07
ubottukemal: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based.  To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources.21:07
ejcwebI've installed a couple of programs today (using apt-get) that I want to remove. Some of the packages installed some extra dependencies too. Is there an easy way to do this? (ie. roll back packages by x hours, or something)21:08
milazejcweb: sudo apt-get remove ...21:08
ejcwebIf I do a simple apt-get uninstall packagename it only frees a matter of KB which surprises me since when I installed it it was MBs.21:08
milazejcweb: and then sudo at-get autoremove21:08
terafl0psI'm not great at using apt.  I would probably just remove it and install the necessary .debs with dpkg, but I suspect there is a cleaner way.21:08
milazejcweb: and downloaded packages remain in /var/cache/apt21:08
ejcwebmilaz: I think autoremove may do  the job21:09
kemalThanks21:09

shawn186does unetbootin install to a usb flash drive permanently?21:17
terafl0psMilaz, since I run ubuntu on my work laptop, I often just wait for a patch assuming that the problem is only just an annoyance.  For something like that, I might be tempted to look up what pulseaudio version you were running before the upgrade, build it from source, and then point your existing  pulseaudio init script to the version you built.21:18

terafl0psIt can do this from Windows.21:23

e2b04836terafl0ps: he wants to actually install ubuntu on a usb drive21:23
terafl0pse2b04836, doesn't the livecd kind of do this?  If you deploy a livecd to a USB stick and choose the "Try Ubuntu" option it lets you run Ubuntu from the USB stick.21:25
DarwinSurvivorshawn186: reasons aside, do you have 2 usb drives? you could boot off one, then use it to install onto the other one...21:25
shawn186e2b04836 you don't eh?21:25
terafl0psThere is an option in unetbootin to allocate a certain amount of USB disk space for persistent file storage too as I recall.21:26

DarwinSurvivorshawn186: not unless you have usb3 it isn't!21:26
milazshawn186: you mean, super-slow harddrive21:27
e2b04836shawn186: usb sticks are not as fast as a hardrive and having an operating system on one would decrease its lifespan considerably21:27
DarwinSurvivorshawn186: running ubuntu off a usb is slow, because usb2.0 (the most common) is absolutely attrocious even compared the slowest HDD on the market21:27
terafl0psTrue, it's not a full install, but you can add repositories if space permits.21:27
terafl0pse2b04836 is correct about the speed.21:27
terafl0psUSB is not necessarily fast at all.21:28
milazshawn186: i do run ubuntu from usb when i'm doing some technical work or hunting viruses on friends' computers21:28
Jordan_Umaheanuu: It sounds like the problem is that you're trying to burn files to a data CD, which will only work for mp3 CD players. Normal audio CDs are *not* data CDs containing a certain type of file, they are a completely different format from data CDs.21:28
alankilaDarwinSurvivor: at best, 40 MB/s. It's not *horrible*, I've never seen a flash stick capable of that. Best I have seen is something bit over 20 MB/s off usb stick21:28

dmorrison42Does anybody know how I can set permissions to allow writes, but not overwrites or deletions?21:28
DarwinSurvivoralankila: a lot of that is because of the usb interface. 40MB/s is "absolute highest in ideal laboratory conditions". You'll almost never get that in real world applications.21:29
terafl0psIt *could* be faster than a hard drive if it were really good flash memory and attached to a USB 3.0 port, but your USB stick probably isn't.21:29

shawn186Agh, I mean FLASH..FLASH drive21:30
maheanuuI have burned 2 disks and they both work on my nephews CD player but they will not work on the one my wife has and she is the one that counts21:30
DarwinSurvivorshawn186: even if it is, you won't notice it. 95% of the speed difference of an Operating System is *read* time.21:30
alankilaterafl0ps: it's still only around double faster and many mechanical drives will not reach those interface speeds you mention. For instance, 80 MB/s at the outer edge and 50 MB/s at inner edge could happen21:31
victoria_hi i need help mi acer aspire does not recognizes my webcam21:31
milazif it is the flash drive i think of, the maximum read speed is around 10 MB/s21:31
terafl0psvery true alankila, but I was comparing just interface speeds21:31
DarwinSurvivorshawn186: if you *really* want to do it (beware, it *will* kill your usb drive), the easiest way is to boot off a second usb, then use that one to install onto the other one.21:32

alankilathe point being, usb flash does not *have* to be horrible, even at 2.0. I guess we just haven't worked out how to put good flash controller on one of those yet, it might be question of expense21:32
slyborgvictoria: have you tried downloading a program called cheese from the software centre? worked on my laptop (i'm running 12.04 though)21:32

ikoniaalankila: any chance we could return to ubuntu discussion in here please.21:33
terafl0psMy point was that USB 2.0 can't go faster than 57 MB/sec.  Most USB flash drives aren't good enough to go that fast though.21:33
LordOfTimeprimeras:  what's your primary language, there might be a channel for your language21:33

ubottuMATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks. More info and install instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB21:36
DarwinSurvivoroh, same link :(21:36
victoria_i write aquestion there but only say install chesse i have it and dont recognize21:37

maheanuuJordan_U, I will try the reduce speed, I have been recording at 16x so I will slow that down and see if that works21:37
ikoniamilaz: yes, so suggesting enabling the partners repo etc is not going to help21:38
milazikonia: yes, sorry21:38
slyborgvictoria: if running cheese doesn't activate your webcam, try a few of the other webcam programs available from the software centre, that's the only other thing i can think of21:38

ikoniamilaz: it's not in multiverse21:38
DarwinSurvivormango_: also, make sure you make an "audio cd", a *lot* of older cd players will not read a cd with mp3's copied onto it. making an "audio" cd will convert the mp3's to the native audio-cd format21:38

ikoniamilaz: right, so it's pointless, it won't install matalb21:39
DarwinSurvivormaheanuu: as has been said, do NOT create a data cd full of music files, it probably won't work. you have to create an "audio cd".21:40

DarwinSurvivormaheanuu: what burning program are you using?21:42
ConradzzRupert your an idiot, I bet you think voting is useless too right?  I mean its only one person after all right?21:43
Jordan_Umaheanuu: The burning software does that. You don't do it yourself.21:43

DarwinSurvivormaheanuu: ok, on the welcome screen there should be 6 buttons at the bottom (2 x 3). chose the one labeled "New Audio CD Project"21:44
maheanuuYes and I have been making them for years and not a problem like I said her player does not accept anything but Commercial Disks PERIOD21:44
RupertPupkinConradzz, I do think voting is necessary.  But I don't think that standing on top of a roof and yelling illogically is going to solve any problems.  Why don't you do something constructive instead, like filing a bug if you found one, or designing something that others can use?21:44
Conradzze2b04836 I have come here with problems, and the majority of people here can't help21:44
Jordan_Utilted: *WARNING* This command destroys data, make sure what you pass for of= is a partition you want to delete irrecoverably! "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXY". If you want to do a more "secure" whipe you can probably use "sudo wipe /dev/sdaXY".21:44
ikoniaConradzz: I assure you people can21:44
Conradzzin the past 3 days I've been here 2 people have helped me l3tops and one other21:45
ikoniaConradzz: doesn't mean others can't help21:45
DarwinSurvivormaheanuu: so you did burn them as an "Audio CD Project"?21:46
RupertPupkinA little politeness and patience goes a long way.  If you come here with an arrogant, entitlement attitude, then you'll probably be disappointed :P21:46
tiltedJordan_U, thanks.  I was using the /dev/zero version already, but wasn't sure how bulletproof it is for preventing unerase.  I will look into wipe.21:46
rlyConradzz: there are those that can help and won't and there are those that try to help and can't and there are a few that help.21:46

ikoniarly: your attitude doesn't help - stop21:46
Conradzzdon't get me wrong rly I appreciate the people that help, but those are few and far in between, the majority are like ikonia who just come here to be "moderators"21:46

DarwinSurvivortilted: unless someone takes an electron microscope to your disassembled HDD, they are NOT going to recover anything from a zero overrite.21:46

rlyikonia: I am just describing reality. What's wrong about that?21:47
ikoniaConradzz: I was just typing askgin you for info on your problem21:47
ikoniarly: it's not reality, people get solid help in here every day, you complain constantly, enough21:47
ConradzzI resent the statement that it doesn't matter if I use linux or not, especially when there are people whose job is to get more people to use linux21:47
tiltedDarwinSurvivor, then I should be safe :)   thx21:47
ikoniaConradzz: there is no-one in here who's job it is to get more people to use linux21:47
rlyikonia: all my complaints are well-founded.21:47
e2b04836Conradzz: i'm not surprised no one has helped you since you havent even described your problem yet21:47
ikoniarly: in your head, sure, so enough21:47
RupertPupkinNobody's job in here to ensure you use Linux.  You're very mistaken.21:47
maheanuuYes, I DID burn them as an audio project and still try, I do not use cda myself and havent bought any commercial discs for years other than at garage sales and flea markets21:48
Conradzzam I suppose to spam the chat with my prob ever few seconds?  I have came in and asked21:48
ikoniaConradzz: if you want help, just ask explaining your problem, and if someone can help, I'm sure they will21:48
rlyikonia: er, no. I complained that Unity crashed for example, while it said I could use my computer during the upgrade.21:48
ikoniaConradzz: no no, not every few seconds,21:48
ikoniaConradzz: just ask, wait - 10 - 15 minutes (if no-one responds) try again21:48
rlyikonia: that's a valid complaint, unless you take the 'you didn't pay anything, so you cannot complain'-angle.21:48
DarwinSurvivormaheanuu: then there's a good chance her player does not support cd-r disks, I've seen them myself and it is a bummer. might be easier to get her a new cd player (they can be got for about $10 these days)21:48
ikoniarly: no-one said anything about that21:48
Conradzzikonia how long have you used linux?21:49
maheanuuI only want .cda for my wife as everyone else is cutting edge and she is still in the stoneage21:49
rlyikonia: and the other observation is also true: not everyone is capable of reading and or helping.21:49
ikoniaConradzz: that doesn't matter21:49
Conradzzsure it does, I would like to know if you don't mind21:49
rlyikonia: I am just explaining that to Conradzz to lower his expectations.21:49

DarwinSurvivormaheanuu: ouch21:50

prateekpuname -a21:56
ikoniaprateekp: ok, it's x8621:56
ikoniaprateekp: that means it's a 32bit kernel21:56
ikoniaprateekp: it's not "86 kernels installed"21:56
prateekpoh what does kernel mean21:56
Conradzzno I haven't milaz I'll try that now, what is it suppose to do?21:57
milazConradzz:  it can kill the X server21:57
ikoniaprateekp: it's basiaclly the OS21:57
Jordan_Umaheanuu: "conversion to CDA" doesn't make sense. CDA is a raw dump of the bits contained in a track. It's slightly analogous to asking how to convert an mp3 file to a vinal record, or how to save a file as type "ext4" on a fat32 filesystem.21:57
prateekpok so the name of os is 86 kernels21:57
milazConradzz: try it several times, and tell me please if there's any reaction21:57
ikoniaprateekp: no, x86 means it's a 32bit kernel21:57

terafl0psAs long as we're on the subject of gnome windows, I'd love to know how to disable window transitions in gnome3 fallback mode.  They are far too sluggish.22:21
trismevilgeenius: Unity/Switcher/Bias alt+tab to prefer windows on the current viewport22:21
baddhabitanyone good at helping with display issues?22:21
evilgeeniustrism: This is one of the many interface glitches that made me leave unity in the first place and go to Linux Mint, I guess I was hoping they'd fixed the issues in 12.22:22
milazConradzz: try 'sudo apt-get install fglrx'22:23
evilgeeniustrism: I must say that most of the issues have been fixed, there are still a few though.22:23
Conradzzmy only problem with doing that milaz is that is most likely what caused me a freeze last week22:23
ftabrhello everyone!22:24
milazConradzz: binary driver can cause a freeze, but for now, open-source driver causes you a freeze too22:24
ftabrsomeone here works on Canonical too?22:25
ikoniafew people do22:25
terafl0psmilaz, have you looked in Conradzz's /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?22:25
kayamanhi alll22:25
ftabrhi22:25
milazterafl0ps: that would be great idea22:25
kayamanubuntu 10.10is a robust one22:26
milazConradzz: can you somehow post /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from the rozen computer to a pastebin?22:26
terafl0psThere should be Xorg.failsafe.log from when he was in failsafe mode too.22:26
munhi22:26
milazConradzz: e.g. by booting from LiveCD, or Live USB22:26
TheVoidmmm, i'm sticking with my 10.04 <322:27
ConradzzI'll try it here in a sec milaz, installing fglrx now22:27
prateekpikonia:22:27
milazConradzz: ok22:27
muni've done something very silly. i ran apt-get install libxss1:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386 and it has removed a lot of packages, including kile, okular etc. i want to stay in 64bits. now i can't install kile again. i get messages like "Depends: konsole but it is not going to be installed"22:27
munplease help22:27
milazConradzz: let's hope that helps so that there will be no need in checking that file22:27
slackinmun, lol, ur need help, mentally.22:28
=== agarwood is now known as nnnuuulll
Conradzzyou see milaz, I had this problem last week when I first installed ubuntu, but I had installed the proprietary drivers, and within a day it started freezing on me22:28
slackinmun, windows users shouldn't bother using linux, as you obviously cant be bothered to read anything to learn something.22:28
Conradzzthis time though its lasted me about 3-4 days, and I didn't install the proprietary drivers22:28
evilgeeniusSomeone needs to tell the Ubuntu UI developers that the application menu should always appear at the top and not just when you hover your mouse over it!  It's silly the way it currently works,  it should work like OSX and always be visible.22:28
munslackin, i don't see your point. you're obviously not helpful22:29
milazConradzz: I had a lot of problems with Radeon on Ubuntu22:29
munslacker_nl, i'm not a windows user. i just needed to get skype working earlier.22:29
slackinmun, I'm not trying to be helpful. Help starts with one's self. Read.22:29
milazConradzz: as the soultion, I switched to NVidia22:29
bibi23Hi, how can I know if my ubuntu uses Upstart or Sysv?22:29
Conradzzthats the thing milaz, I tried ubuntu a few months back on a system with nvidia, and all it gave me was problems22:29
=== nnnuuulll is now known as agarwood
slackinmun, did you read about how to PROPERLY do multilib? obviously not.22:29
munslacker_nl, i'm glad you realised.22:29
milazConradzz: for NVidia, the best experience for now is with proprietary driver22:30
milazConradzz: did you use it?22:30
Conradzzits still installing the proprietary driver22:31

slackinConradzz, whats your issue?22:33
Conradzzhard freeze on boot slackin22:33
slackinConradzz, well, i SERIOUSLY doubt thats due to an nvidia video card, or the propiatary drivers, unless its a laptop.22:34
baddhabitanyone have a moment to help with my X server display issue?22:34
Conradzzit is a laptop slackin22:34
milazslackin: the videocard turned out to be radeon22:34
Conradzzok milaz, just tried booting again, and froze22:34
slackinConradzz, is it one of those nvidia/intel mixed cards?22:34
Conradzznope, one of those AMD Apu chips22:34

tony123456hi all, nvidia problems here... it only shows 1024x768 and 800x600, i tried installing the latest (it got worse), and removing them all: same...22:40
Conradzzno you can't milaz, its locked at 256mb22:40
milazConradzz: ok22:40
milazConradzz: now, let's boot from live cd/usb to obtain that /var/log/Xorg.0.log file22:40
milazConradzz: of course, when you boot from live medium, the file is not located at /var/log/Xorg.0.log22:42
tony123456 anyone heard of that problem before?22:42
milazConradzz: it is located on one of HDD partitions22:42
baddhabit its a Geforce GT 520 2gb  pcie x1622:43
terafl0psbaddhabit:  Is the second monitor blank?22:43
slackinbaddhabit, install nvidia-drivers with nvidia-settings(aka, GTK use flag on nvidia-drivers) and use the nvidia-settings tool22:43
evilgeeniusIs there a way to make the menu always be visible without having to hover over it first?22:43
slackinbaddhabit, if you do that, you should be golden22:44
baddhabitits is powered on to a white screen, My mouse is able to go to it, but its like it is not part of x server...22:44
slackinbaddhabit, if your mouse can go to it, it *IS* part of your x server22:44
slackinbaddhabit, are you using nouvou SHIT or nvidia-drivers?22:44
baddhabitI should have put qoutes around "like"22:44

slackinikonia, sorry, I just can't stand the FOSS nvidia driver, its pure junk in its current state22:45
terafl0psYeah, if you can move the mouse over to the second monitor, you've already figured out the hard part. :)22:45
baddhabitits a new card, but it was working and i was trying to configure things and it stopped working22:45
baddhabit:(22:45

Conradzzoddly enough milaz, it won't let me boot from my install disk22:47
milazConradzz: the screen freezes too?22:47
Conradzzits refusing to boot from it now, and just pushes me to grub22:47
muni ran apt-get install libxss1:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386 to get multiarch and it has removed a lot of packages, including kile, okular etc. i want to stay in 64bits. now i can't install kile again. i get messages like "Depends: konsole but it is not going to be installed". please help.22:47
baddhabitso monitor 2 the "problem" one, has a X cursor while on it. where as minitro 1 is an arrow22:48
milazConradzz: strange enough22:48
tony123456hello?22:48
milazConradzz: maybe, powering the computer off completely and turning it back on will help?22:48
ConradzzI've done it quite a bit milaz22:48
Yoshimi-pinkI'm trying to use skype but i have missing dependencies22:48
milazConradzz: it is a laptop?22:48
Conradzzyup22:48
terafl0psbaddhabit:  This almost sounds like you are running a separate X screen.  Are you sure you can move your mouse pointer from one display to the other and back?22:49
* milaz struggling not to mention pulling laptop battery out22:49
Yoshimi-pinkit says libqtgui.s0.4 no such file or directory22:49
milazConradzz: are you sure you were able to boot from this medium?22:50
Conradzzyup milaz, its how I installed ubuntu a few days ago22:50
milazConradzz: funny enough, I had the very same issue with radeon22:50
milazConradzz: and do you know how did i fix it?22:51
milazConradzz: I had a dual-boot computer with Windows22:51
Conradzzprobably should have mentioned that I have dual boot milaz :P22:51
milazConradzz: after I booted windows, I was able to reboot to Ubuntu22:51
milazConradzz: ... and to use it for several days more22:51
ConradzzI have windows 7 set up dual boot on this laptop22:52
baddhabitYes  and I just tried to reset everything to "defaults" and reloaded  but to no avail.... for a breif second it shows the background and then goes all white.22:52
milazConradzz: ... until my Radeon card was completely burnt off, and I cpuldn't use it enev to see BIOS messages22:52
milazConradzz: so, after booting Windows, are you able to use live medium22:53
terafl0psStars69, I don't see where you actually made a ssh connection in your terminal from that pastebin.22:53
Conradzzany idea if theres a progam that will let me view the linux filesystem in windows instead of trying to use the thumbdrive?22:53
terafl0psStars69, it also looks like your sshd_config is still using the default port of 22.22:54
milazConradzz: there are a few, but I didn't have good experience with any of them22:54
Belial`anyone else noticing extremely slow speeds off the repos?22:55
terafl0psStars, can you do an "ssh username@192.168.1.9 " in your terminal?22:55
lundBelial`, not me, but have seen several others mention22:56
Yoshimi-pinkhow can i install libqtgui.so.4?22:56
baddhabitstill having tough time22:56
terafl0psbaddhabit: What happens if you drag a window on to that second display?22:58
milazConradzz: the most interesting part then is not Xorg logs, if you will be able to use thumb drive, or even hard drive ubuntu installation, after just booting windows22:58
ConradzzI'm going to recreate my live usb22:59

L3topbaddhabit: check "sticky corners" or some such WM setting in unity.23:02
baddhabitmy finger are to fat to reach in and grab it lol23:02
L3topunless you drag it very fast, it may get stuck in the desktop originating23:02
baddhabitand I dont have the "bent coat hanger v2.2.1.318" necessary to catch it on the hanger and pull it23:03

terafl0psI think he may have a separate X screen.23:03
terafl0psas opposed to TwinView23:04
L3topJust had a similar problem with someone recently, and it was due to a setting in unity... yes terafl0ps I agree23:04
terafl0psbaddhabit, can you open your nvidia control panel?23:04
milazbaddhabit: did you look at System Settings -> Displays?23:05
baddhabiti have tried twin view and separate...23:05
L3topand when you can baddhabit, grep -i 'twinview' /etc/X11/xorg.conf23:05
terafl0psTwinview should do it.23:05
L3topnm... listen to terafl0ps.23:06
L3topChange to twinview, and confirm that you can't "yank" it23:06
Conradzzthere milaz, restarting now and seeing if it will let me boot from it23:07
terafl0psIn your nvidia control panel, you should have an option 2 or 3 items down on the left that reads "X Server Display Configuration"23:07
baddhabitpeter@pfj-Ubuntu-amd:~$ grep -i 'twinview' /etc/x11/xorg.conf23:07

DrMaxI upgraded to 12.04 and now it doesn't seems to understand mod4/ win keys anymore. How do I configure the shortcuts so that the win key is back to mod4 ?23:07
L3topYes baddhabit listen to terafl0ps. I am living in the past.23:08
L3topI do EVERYTHING through xorg.conf23:08
L3topI don't know if you are supposed to have one or not at this point for dual monitors23:09
terafl0psIt's okay L3top, I used to do the same before Ubuntu.  I've been pretty lucky with nvidia hardware ever since.23:09
Conradzzwhat file was I looking for milaz?23:09
milazConradzz: /var/log/Xorg.0.log23:09
Conradzzit is empty...23:10
milazConradzz: but actually you are looking for a file like that, on HDD parition23:10
terafl0psBaddhabit, In the display tab, you should be able to see both displays.23:10
baddhabitI am looking to leverage your luckyness teraflops23:10
terafl0psYou should see a dropdown that says "configuration."23:10
baddhabityes?23:10
Conradzzya, I'm looking in on my installed partition and found the file milaz23:10
terafl0psChoose "twinview" in that.23:10
Conradzzbut I do have 2 I have Xorg.0.log.old and xorg.0.log23:10
Conradzzthe .log file is 0 KB, the old file is like 40kb23:11

Fureshohello, everyone!23:14
terafl0pswhere dirname is the directory you want to delete23:14
terafl0psbaddhabit, can you get back to the nvidia control panel?23:14

baddhabitnow its working kindof..23:21
Conradzznow I'm getting sort of a soft freeze though23:21
Conradzzas I can see my desktop background, and move my mouse, but see nothing else23:21
baddhabiti have 2 separate server screens... but my desktop background is literally in the center23:21
milazConradzz: at this point, i can propose you two solutions23:22
terafl0psCan you move windows between the two monitors?23:22
milazConradzz: they are nothing exciting though23:22
baddhabityes but now it gets stuck.. and i have to swing it over really hard...23:23
baddhabitdidn't have to before23:23
Conradzzfigured23:23
terafl0psThis sounds like the Unity "yank" behavior L3top described.23:23
milazConradzz: the first one is blacklisting radeon and fglrx drivers and using vesa mode (yikes)23:23
shallwehi guys, ubuntu has full support for Intel® HD Graphics 3000?23:24
shallweits come with i5, i3 intel23:24
milazConradzz: the second one is reinstalling Ubuntu, and then pinning the radeon driver packages, so they are not influenced with updates23:24
stars69L3top and Loshki thanks alot23:24
terafl0psYour background is probably in the middle because it's not wide enough to cover your new (very large) desktop.23:24
Conradzznot sure I wanna reinstall again, this will make it the third time in about a week23:24
Conradzzthing is its not really frozen now though, I can right click23:25
Conradzzand it gives me the option to create new folder, create new document etc.23:25
milazConradzz: oh, then, try choosing Ubuntu 2D environment from the greeter23:25
milazConradzz: before you log in and enter a password, try clocking a cog near your user23:26
milazConradzz: then, choose a 2D version23:26
terafl0psBaddhabit, I personally don't like Unity at all and I can't really help troubleshoot it because I immediately disabled it in favor of gnome3 fallback mode, but it does sound like you have your dual displays configured correctly now.23:26
L3topshallwe: I have gotten the sandybridge stuff working, but I have had some failure as well...23:26
milazConradzz: that may help in showing you a complete desktop23:26
shallweL3top, well ty, i will test it more before buy a new laptop :) ty23:27
ConradzzI dont' actually see a cog23:27

milazConradzz: like these: http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/session_choices_ubuntu%2012.04%20final.png23:30

Nk26when i type in appname into the terminal it runs still but I cant locate anything about it on my system23:32
terafl0psNk26, my guess is that the "make install" step copied the program into one of the directories in your $PATH.23:33
Nk26ahh thanks ill check that23:33

L3top!poll | alusion23:37
ubottualusion: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.23:37
terafl0psNk26, Sometimes the project's Makefile will have a target like "distclean" or "uninstall" that you can use to remove the program too.  If not, you have to look at what files are copied in make install and remove them yourself.23:37

Topcatdoes unity havea  3d and 2d mode ?23:45
chip8874Not sure if im inturrupting anything, but may I ask a question?23:45
terafl0psYou mean your gnome background?23:45
ellisgo ahead23:45
IdleOnechip8874: go ahead, someone will answer if they can23:45
Fureshocan anyone see what I'm typing right now?23:46
IdleOneFuresho: we see you23:46
Topcatterafl0ps: yes. In seamless I should be able to see that only the program windows.23:46
Topcatshouldnt*23:46
chip8874so I have a fresh rig constructed. Im booting from a USB, but when I select either run from USB or install from USB, the screen flashes orange and white stripes and the signal to the monitor is lost. Either option does the same thing23:47
ellischip8874: what graphics adapter are you using?23:47
chip8874xfx radeon hd 6790. I couldn't find a list of supported hardware23:48
Topcatin vbox should ubuntu list the GFX driver as Unknown?23:48
terafl0psTopcat, I have a Linux VM I could try seamless on, but it's not Ubuntu...23:48
chip8874i dont think i have mobo graphics23:48
terafl0psIt might be a virtualbox bug.23:48
Conradzzanyone know how I run the network setup from terminal?23:48
Topcatterafl0ps: if you could just give it a quick go that should help23:48
ellischip8874: have you tried booting a live disk?23:49
chip8874no I haven't. Would that be the same as a USB boot?23:49
ellischip8874: it should be identical. If it boots fine of a CD then it's a problem with your USB23:50
Topcatterafl0ps: 4.1.14 must be very new out I will roll the vbox additions back to 4.1.12 that's i nthe repo23:50
=== lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk
terafl0psI tried it with Centos 5.8 on top of Ubuntu in seamless mode and it hid the CentOS guest's background for me.23:51
chip8874ok. We have used two different USB sticks and tried both 64 bit and 32 bit distro of Ubuntu 12. Same visual error both times. I am about to try Fedora distro. I will also try a CD. thanks for you help23:51
terafl0psHowever, I wouldn't want to use this because I quickly ran into an issue where I couldn't click on Ubuntu windows while it was running.23:52
ellischip8874: yes try fedora. It sounds like the may be compatability issues with your graphics hardware23:52
terafl0psAll of my mouse clicks were going to the VM until I pulled it out of seamless mode.23:52
ConradzzI really wish they would trash xorg23:54
Topcatterafl0ps: ok thanks for trying, my centos 6.2 doesn't let me seamless mode currently, maybe I'm missing a driver its quite fresh.23:54
terafl0psNo problem Topcat.23:55
chip8874ok ellis, Fedroa just flash some failure that I didn't quite catch then gave the same visual error. This must mean its a graphics thing right? Also, how do you respond to me like you are?23:55
indianany one please tell how to configure desktop notifications23:55
ellischip8874: Just type the name followed by a colon. That makes it obvious who the post is aimed at. As far as the screen problem, does your monitor say that it has lost signal, or does the screen just go blank?23:56
Conradzzgot it fixed...23:57
L3topellis: chip8874  begin typing the name and hit tab.23:57
Conradzznot sure how but its working23:57
ellisL3top, never knew that thanks! Not really 'in the know' when it comes to IRC haha23:58
L3topmakes names like bananenkampf-de much less of a headache23:58
chip8874ellis: I ran it again and it said "failed to initiate MSI-X" (keep in mind that this is fedora). After the orange and white junk, my monitor behaves as if it cannot detect a signal. It says each input in the upper right, then the power light goes yellow, so it seems like it lost signal23:59
