| ellis | chip8874, that's strange. Your best bet is reading into MSI-X. It's pretty low level stuff, my guess is that the kernel either doesn't support your GPU, or the necessary modules aren't loaded | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| DoctorMonocular | hey everyone, having a good saturday? | 00:02 |
| chip8874 | so should I use an older version of ubuntu or fedora? I have no clue what msi-x is but I will attempt to educate myself | 00:02 |
| ellis | chip8874, have you had other operating systems working on the computer, like Windows? | 00:03 |
| chip8874 | no. I assembled it today | 00:03 |
| chip8874 | and I don't really want to download windows, tbh | 00:03 |
| ellis | chip8874, It could be a hardware fault then with the GPU. It's hard to say | 00:03 |
| DoctorMonocular | I've been pulling my hair out today trying to troubleshoot my ruby / rails and related software, it's acting up | 00:04 |
| Conradzz | should I use synaptic or ubunut software center? | 00:04 |
| DoctorMonocular | the first thing I want to do is remove rvm from my system entirely | 00:04 |
| DoctorMonocular | but I can't seem to do that | 00:04 |
| L3top | chip8874: I am beginning to wonder if your gpu is sound. Is this on-board? | 00:04 |
| ellis | chip8874, without trying a non-Linux-kernel operating system, you can't rule out the possibility that the hardware isn't faulty | 00:04 |
| DoctorMonocular | ruby-rvm shows as an installed package, and removing it gets a message about it not being installed | 00:05 |
| chip8874 | L3top: I don't think my motherboard has onboard graphics. There are no kinds of visual ports on the mobo. It's an xfx radeon hd 6790 | 00:05 |
| chip8874 | ellis: | 00:05 |
| chip8874 | ellis: Right. Are there any ways of testing this? | 00:06 |
| L3top | shows as installed where DoctorMonocular | 00:06 |
| ellis | chip8874, I would bet money that your computer would boot into a non-graphical OS fine. Download Arch Linux and boot that | 00:06 |
| sun_devil | Anybody know the command line phrase to kill or stop bluetooth. I did a service bluetooth stop, which did not work | 00:06 |
| ellis | chip8874, If it boots Arch Linux fine, then it's definitely a graphics problem (hardware or software) | 00:06 |
| chip8874 | ellis: I will try this and see what happens | 00:07 |
| L3top | You can boot ubuntu headless and do the same thing | 00:07 |
| chip8874 | L3top: ok how do you do that? | 00:07 |
| ellis | chip8874, yes go with L3top suggestion | 00:07 |
| DoctorMonocular | @L3top, I take it back now, it's not showing anymore when I write dpkg -l | grep rvm | 00:08 |
| L3top | chip8874: you can grab a minimal iso and only install what you need, and test graphics from there... but... you have been here a minute, is this a problem with install or live boot? | 00:08 |
| DoctorMonocular | however, when I search | 00:08 |
| DoctorMonocular | there are LOTS of rvm files in the system | 00:08 |
| DoctorMonocular | config files and sutff that I suspect is messing me up down the line | 00:08 |
| DoctorMonocular | wrong paths, that sort of thing | 00:08 |
| DoctorMonocular | I gather the correct way to install it for now is with curl, not apt-get | 00:09 |
| L3top | DoctorMonocular: apt-get remove --purge ruby-rvm | 00:09 |
| L3top | DoctorMonocular: when you simply remove, it gets rid of some things but keeps config files etc | 00:09 |
| chip8874 | L3top: they both behave the same way. I can pick the run option or the install option and they behave the same way. An attempt at a fedora install gave the same visuals before crashing | 00:09 |
| DoctorMonocular | @L3top, when I run that command it works, but it says 0 ugraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, and 11 not upgraded | 00:10 |
| DoctorMonocular | so it apparently changed nothing | 00:10 |
| chip8874 | L3top: And, Im sorry, but how do I get a minimal iso | 00:10 |
| L3top | !nomodeset | chip8874 | 00:10 |
| ubottu | chip8874: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 00:10 |
| crash1hd | Hey all is there an easy way to allow access to / on a live cd using samba without asking for a username / password as on my windows end it wants to enter a username / password with domain yet I am not on a domain? | 00:10 |
| wilee-nilee | !minimal | 00:10 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:10 |
| L3top | DoctorMonocular: there was nothing to uninstall, but check for those config files now | 00:10 |
| === johnja is now known as john234 | ||
| ellis | chip8874, Download minimal CD from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:11 |
| DoctorMonocular | L3top, I'm still seeing dozens of directories and files scattered everywhere, and I haven't even tried to look inside files for the string rvm yet | 00:11 |
| L3top | DoctorMonocular: you might consider installing it, then purging it. | 00:12 |
| DoctorMonocular | L3top, I had though of just deleting the files, but I can't seem to -- lemme try it from the terminal with sudo | 00:13 |
| m1jj | linux is the new windows and freebsd is the new linux | 00:13 |

| baddhabit | no... no no.. still not working... tired of this.. reinstalling.. i give up.. sigh | 00:14 |
| chip8874 | oops noob mistake | 00:14 |
| L3top | nickgaw: you are probably talking about remastersys... yes? | 00:14 |
| nickgaw | correct that is the program where no download link I can find | 00:15 |
| L3top | DoctorMonocular: I do not know if dpkg -S works with globs... try ruby-rvm with both -S and -L | 00:16 |
| L3top | you will have to add the repo based on your distro nickgaw | 00:17 |
| L3top | what version are you on nickgaw | 00:17 |
| nickgaw | I have both a debian and ubuntu 12.04 install where on the page can I find the list of repos? | 00:17 |
| indian | any one using hotot | 00:18 |

| szymon_g | hi | 00:20 |
| szymon_g | how can i turn off the graphic boot in newest ubuntu? i've deleted "quiet splash" options in that new grub list, but its still hangs | 00:22 |
| szymon_g | i would like to either boot in text mode, or in working graphical mode (even with low resolution etc)- so i'll be able to install proper drivers | 00:22 |
| DoctorMonocular | L3top, ok going through the terminal to delete all the rvm files and folders worked, so now I want to search for all the files on my system that have the text rvm in them (specifically looking for config files that contain the old path information) -- what's the best way? | 00:23 |
| L3top | sudo grep -r rvm /* but its gonna take a while, and find a lot. | 00:23 |
| DoctorMonocular | L3top, ok -- I can do that, but meanwhile, any ideaas on which config files might contain that path info I'm trying to purge? | 00:24 |
| sun_devil | I guess to remove bluetooth you also have to remove its dependencies? | 00:24 |
| jgalt | how can I get my marvell 802.11 pci card working. the installer did not find it but lspci lists it. | 00:25 |
| L3top | well thats an odd grouping of chars... it might not find THAT much... but more than I ever expect... Not really DoctorMonocular... like I said, I would have installed it again and done a purge... would have at least gotten a lot closer. | 00:25 |
| jgalt | it's a marvel 88w8335 based card. | 00:26 |

| herp | how can i change the espeak voice? | 00:30 |
| L3top | alexhairyman: alt f4? right click on taskbar and quit... or drop to a termnial and get mean. | 00:31 |
| * L3top is using kubu... loses track of chats | 00:32 | |
| alexhairyman | Is that universal? I kept looking through my path for xquit or xforce, or something similar, but it was actually xquit | 00:32 |
| nickgaw | Is there an easy way on ubuntu 12.04 to install the real gnome classic setup as I am totally blind and find the new setup tricky to use with orca? | 00:34 |
| LordOfTime | nickgaw: apt-get install gnome-classic? | 00:34 |
| LordOfTime | !notunity | nickgaw | 00:35 |
| ubottu | nickgaw: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:35 |
| LordOfTime | !classic | nickgaw | 00:35 |
| ubottu | nickgaw: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 00:35 |
| zykotick9 | nickgaw: gome-panel gives a very gnome2 like environment | 00:35 |
| sun_devil | Is there a way to block bluetooth? I do a chkconfig and can't rid it of my machine | 00:35 |
| DoctorMonocular | L3top, you weren't kidding, grep has just been sitting there 8/ | 00:36 |
| nickgaw | so the normal gnome-classic is in ubuntu 12.04 as reading on line I read that that package did not provide that desktop? | 00:36 |
| DoctorMonocular | but I think I can't move on without making sure the paths aren't just sitting there waiting to mess things up | 00:36 |
| L3top | It is literally searching text against every readable character in every file on your computer. It will filter through your movies looking for it. Gonna take a while. | 00:38 |
| DoctorMonocular | this is a fresh install on an SSD, so hopefully it won't take TOO much longer | 00:38 |
| * L3top hearts ruby btw | 00:38 | |
| L3top | wont | 00:38 |
| DoctorMonocular | yeah I love it... when I can get it to work, haha | 00:38 |
| DoctorMonocular | the problem is that I'm pretty green with linux so I'm fighting with that instead of writing code | 00:39 |
| DoctorMonocular | I've been mostly a .NET guy for like 10 years | 00:39 |
| DoctorMonocular | so it's a switch | 00:39 |

| DoctorMonocular | GeekSquid1, thanks for that, I didn't know | 01:12 |
| DoctorMonocular | but alas, I think suicide maybe the answer (joke) -- after all that, reinstalling everything and having it appear to work | 01:13 |

| L3top | DoctorMonocular: env | 01:23 |
| DoctorMonocular | L#top, is that a folder somewhere or? | 01:25 |
| L3top | That will tell you your environment variables... my hack would be to env > rubyterm and env > normterm in the same directory in both terminals, then diff rubyterm normterm | 01:25 |

| DoctorMonocular | ok, yay linux (powerful and awesome in many ways... not so discoverable) | 01:27 |
| Auriga | DoctorMonocular, Not so discoverable? | 01:29 |
| DoctorMonocular | Auriga, "discoverable" is a term we use in user interface design | 01:29 |
| DoctorMonocular | it's a measure of how well a new user who is not familiar with the system can "discover" how to use it just by poking it or looking at it | 01:29 |

| wolfcore | newbchessplayer: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39906 | 01:39 |
| wolfcore | it's NOT a screensaver, but you can have transparency so that it is on top but the screensaver is visible | 01:39 |
| newbchessplayer | that kind of defeats one of the primary purposes of a screensaver | 01:40 |
| newbchessplayer | thanks | 01:40 |

| tynach | Hello. I'm wanting to make a custom launcher on my desktop for Minecraft, but I don't know how to do it in Unity in Ubuntu 12.04. Anyone know how? I don't feel like (but can if I must) creating a .desktop file from scratch by hand. | 01:41 |
| L3top | no it doesnt | 01:41 |
| L3top | the screen saver is still running, it is still changing pixles... there is a composit overlay, which changes based on the movement behind it | 01:41 |
| L3top | it is no different than bubbles over your DT... ty wolfcore. | 01:42 |
| newbchessplayer | L3top, yes but dont certain pixels always stay lit? | 01:42 |
| wolfcore | newbchessplayer: stay lit? | 01:42 |

| === rbrooks_ is now known as rbrooks | ||
| newbchessplayer | ah | 01:42 |
| L3top | there is no burn in | 01:42 |
| wolfcore | it's called transparency for a reason | 01:42 |
| wolfcore | its _transparent_ | 01:42 |
| trism | tynach: if you have gnome-panel installed you can: gnome-desktop-item-edit /path/to/launcher.desktop; then drag that to the launcher | 01:43 |
| tynach | trism, I don't have gnome-panel installed. I don't really want to have Gnome 3 installed any more than I have to to let Unity work. | 01:44 |
| L3top | sorry ok DoctorMonocular, clearly something you did set those paths. Those paths will need to be set each time you want to do what you are doing... those need to either be defined at startup, which means they will only work on your machine, or defined in the code, or a primer. This is not my area but easily googled if nobody pipes up. | 01:44 |
| trism | tynach: then you are probably editing the desktop by hand | 01:44 |
| wolfcore | L3top: what problem does DoctorMonocular have? | 01:44 |
| L3top | he did something which set env vars which make his ruby code work in a term, but a new term these vars are not set | 01:45 |
| L3top | here is a diff http://paste.ubuntu.com/996686/ | 01:45 |
| tynach | trism, why can't Unity/Gnome 3 have what KDE and even previous Gnomes had? Right-click a panel or desktop, click "Create launcher", and type in the path to the executable, the name, and change the icon in a nice GUI window? | 01:45 |
| L3top | that is an env diff wolfcore | 01:45 |
| wolfcore | L3top: all he has to do is stick that new defined path in ~/.bash_profile | 01:46 |
| L3top | but then wont the code ONLY work on his box wolfcore? | 01:46 |
| tynach | Meh, I'll install gnome-panel. | 01:46 |
| newbchessplayer | L3top, how do you make it transparent to the screensaver but "always behind" any windows while you're actually on the computer? | 01:47 |
| wolfcore | L3top: so does he want this to work elsewhere? | 01:47 |
| wolfcore | newbchessplayer: google it | 01:47 |
| L3top | I don't know to be honest wolfcore... I just assumed. | 01:47 |
| wolfcore | L3top: PATH aren't made to work universally... | 01:48 |
| wolfcore | s/PATH aren't/the PATH variable isn't | 01:48 |
| L3top | True... | 01:48 |
| DoctorMonocular | L3top, the code should work independently assuming ruby and rails et al is installed and runable on the given machine | 01:48 |
| aendruk | I've heard rumors of problems with Ubuntu's repositories being slow and causing trouble with the installation process over the last day or so. Anyone know more about it? | 01:48 |
| DoctorMonocular | ok, so what I need to do is go into my .bash_profile | 01:49 |
| L3top | DoctorMonocular: check with #ruby at this point. | 01:49 |
| DoctorMonocular | and add what exactly? there are lots of changes in that diff | 01:49 |
| tynach | trism, oh! That command does open up a little GUI window :D Though I still have to type in the command. Ah well, this is good for now. | 01:50 |
| tynach | Thanks! | 01:50 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: figure out what PATH, etc you want and export them in .bash_profile | 01:50 |
| DoctorMonocular | is it a problem if that bash_profile file doesn't exist right now? | 01:50 |
| DoctorMonocular | ~/.bash_profile didn't exist before I just created it | 01:50 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: you could also just copy and modify a .desktop entry file from /usr/share/applications, where they are kept. | 01:51 |
| L3top | wolfcore: .bash_profile or .bashrc? | 01:53 |
| tynach | sirdeiu, that's what I did originally. But they all have a lot of Gnome-specific things in the .desktop file that I didn't know what to do with, and I didn't want any of that in mine. | 01:53 |
| wolfcore | L3top: PATH goes in .bash_profile, only needs to be sourced on user login | 01:53 |
| L3top | ty wolfcore | 01:53 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: that's fine | 01:53 |
| L3top | We are all learning DoctorMonocular :) | 01:54 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: depending on what you want your launcher to do, you'll need more or less some entries. Type, Name, Exec, Path, Icon are the basic needed one(s). | 01:55 |
| Guest54242 | My canonical download speed used to be over 2mbps, but in the last day or so it seems to be capped at 15kbs. Anyone have any advice for fixing this? (Other networks still work just as fast as they used to, just canonical is slow). | 01:55 |
| tynach | sirdeiu, I gathered, but what about things like... *checks* "X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general" | 01:56 |
| veinos | yah me too guest! | 01:56 |
| veinos | grossly slow speed :O | 01:56 |
| Guest54242 | veinos, I wonder if it is a global problem :-/ | 01:56 |
| RupertPupkin | Is it that slow even over Torrent? | 01:56 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: you don't need that to launch Minecraft :) | 01:56 |
| veinos | it felt faster just about 20min ago, but not sure, I just let it run in background | 01:57 |
| veinos | anyway, got to go, gl | 01:57 |
| tynach | sirdeiu, I know, but there's like... 20 different lines like that, and there are several that contain 'gedit' as the value, making me unsure which one's actually the one to edit for launching. Basically, I like to have a new one created so I know everything I need is in there, and not more. I need to learn to write them by hand. | 01:58 |
| Guest54242 | RupertPupkin: update manage stuff is over torrent? I haven't used any torrents since the install other than what might happen with the default software. But all connected that are "canonical.com" based are avgeraging 15kbs only. It says it is http, so my guess is that is not torrent? Any advice for trying to improve the canonical connection speed? | 01:59 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: like I said, Type, Name, Icon, Exec, Path are what you need. | 01:59 |
| RupertPupkin | Guest54242, Sorry, I thought you meant trying to download the .iso file. Canonical's mirrors occasionally become very slow for me too. | 01:59 |
| DoctorMonocular | ok wolfcore, I'm having some trouble here -- I'm looking at the diff, and trying to figure out what my bash_profile file should look like -- can you tell me about the syntax I need to use to get it working? and do I need to include all the information that was missing in the non working terminal? Things like GEM_HOME, pvm_path, PATH, GEM_PATH? | 02:00 |
| tynach | sirdeiu, what about the fact that the generated one from that command, does not have a 'path' in it? | 02:00 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: of those Exec=/path/to/minecraft/launch, path=/path/to/minecraft, Icon=/path/to/minecraft.png or copy minecraft.png to ~/.icons and specify Icon=minecraft.png only and Name=Minecraft | 02:00 |
| L3top | Guest54242: there have been a lot of complaints about this. I do not experience it because I use mirrors. | 02:00 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: what command ? | 02:01 |
| Guest54242 | L3top, please explain or provide a link so I can either set it up as well or at least read about how it works? | 02:01 |
| tynach | The one trism provided. | 02:01 |
| tynach | gnome-desktop-item-edit | 02:01 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: should look like so (an example): 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' | 02:02 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: see here http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ .desktop entry specification and http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apa.html | 02:02 |
| sirdeiu | example file | 02:02 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: not sure if you have to export all of the other variables, you can either do that, or add them one by one and see if they're needed | 02:02 |
| L3top | Guest54242: its a bit brilliant... and works globally. deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt $DISTRO main restricted universe multiverse for instance... | 02:02 |
| stal | h | 02:02 |
| L3top | Guest54242: I will find a link | 02:02 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: you probable do need these other vars too though | 02:02 |
| Guest54242 | l3top, thanks! | 02:03 |
| DoctorMonocular | ok wolfcore, will try to add them with the syntax you mentioned then paste it in before I move on | 02:03 |
| tynach | sirdeiu, why is it that in mine, it duplicates some lines like: "Name[en_US]=Minecraft", and one without the [en_US]? Can I safely delete the duplicates? | 02:03 |
| T_A_N_K | windows rulez | 02:04 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: yes, Name[en_US] or Name[de_DE] are just localized to different languages. | 02:04 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: you can use only Name= | 02:04 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: that is if you are using English as your language. | 02:05 |
| tynach | sirdeiu, I am. Deleted the [en_US] ones. | 02:05 |
| wolfcore | tynach: the others are locale-specific, iirc | 02:05 |
| DoctorMonocular | http://paste.ubuntu.com/996707/ | 02:06 |
| DoctorMonocular | what do you think of that for the content of the file? | 02:06 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: you only need to export once | 02:06 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: you are overwriting the previous variable | 02:06 |
| DoctorMonocular | so, at the top, maybe on its own line? | 02:06 |
| DoctorMonocular | also, I'm confused because PATH is listed twice and like you said, overwrites the previous value | 02:07 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: you need export PATH=$PATH:<your custom path/s> | 02:07 |
| DoctorMonocular | not even considering what it was before the file ran | 02:07 |
| DoctorMonocular | would it hurt anything to have the same path listed twice in that variable? | 02:08 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: you need to define PATH to be PATH plus your own extra paths | 02:08 |
| lfitz | hi, how would i establish connectivity between two laptops via a crossover cable? | 02:08 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: so export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/gems/:/another/path | 02:09 |
| DoctorMonocular | yup, I get it | 02:09 |
| DoctorMonocular | http://paste.ubuntu.com/996711/ | 02:09 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: you can replace /home/pete with $HOME | 02:10 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: anyways, now you can source the file with `. ~/.bash_profile` | 02:10 |
| DoctorMonocular | http://paste.ubuntu.com/996714/ - look legit now? | 02:11 |
| sirdeiu | tynach: here's an interesting one: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/add-application-shortcuts-to-your-desktop-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ | 02:12 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: directories such as /usr/local/sbin should be part of your path by default. Check if they are with `echo $PATH`. The directories listed can be removed because they are already part of the PATH | 02:13 |
| DoctorMonocular | yeah, I figured that was why the variable was defined with a prepended $PATH: | 02:15 |
| wolfcore | yes | 02:15 |
| DoctorMonocular | and that's why I was asking if defining the path twice would hurt anything | 02:15 |
| DoctorMonocular | but I'll remove it in the file | 02:15 |

| DoctorMonocular | ok wolfcore, I saved it, I sourced it - do I need to restart my terminal or anything? | 02:19 |
| krnl | hi i updated ubuntu to 12.04 and it cant find hosts, but resolv.conf is set properly. do you have any idea? | 02:19 |
| === bluespy is now known as Dorito1 | ||
| === Dorito1 is now known as T_A_N_K | ||
| DoctorMonocular | ok, I opened a new terminal window | 02:20 |
| DoctorMonocular | which I think should've gotten the new stuff? And none of the stuff from that file are in env | 02:21 |
| mjbrooks | anyone know if the US ubuntu server is under load? My install updates are measured in B/s :( | 02:23 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: after sourcing, the new PATH should work in that term | 02:23 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: log out and log back in | 02:24 |
| elkng | gnome is native GUI for ubuntu ? | 02:24 |
| wolfcore | elkng: you mean DE? | 02:24 |
| DoctorMonocular | ok, so when I source in the new window it loads the stuff | 02:25 |
| flowerpot | elkng, I don't think there is a "native" GUI for Ubuntu, but Gnome is the default | 02:25 |
| elkng | yes | 02:25 |
| DoctorMonocular | so I';m guessing thsat if I log out and back in | 02:25 |
| flowerpot | there are other versions out there | 02:25 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: yes, because opening a new window doesn't source you bash_profile | 02:25 |
| elkng | initially the first DE for ubuntu was gnome ? | 02:25 |
| DoctorMonocular | it'll work withgout me manually sourcing it everytime. But it's still not quite working | 02:25 |
| DoctorMonocular | the env is set with the new vars | 02:25 |
| flowerpot | mjbrooks, I noticed that last night, too, not sure | 02:25 |
| DoctorMonocular | and when I do ruby -v it's finding the correct one | 02:25 |
| DoctorMonocular | but rails fails | 02:25 |
| wolfcore | :( | 02:26 |
| DoctorMonocular | (sorry, splitting my lines up again, old habits) | 02:26 |
| mjbrooks | flowerpot: thanks, I was just wondering if it was just me ;) | 02:26 |

| DoctorMonocular | bash: /usr/local/bin/rails: /usr/bin/ruby1.8: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 02:26 |
| DoctorMonocular | er, sorry about that, though that would be one line | 02:26 |
| * mjbrooks loads his dopeslapper | 02:27 | |
| DoctorMonocular | it seems like it';s still looking for ruby1.8 even though that's not installed at all, and certainly not under rvm | 02:27 |
| L3top | That looks like your code is making the call not the environment... to me... DoctorMonocular. | 02:28 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: is there a space in your PATH by accident? | 02:28 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: between rails: /usr | 02:29 |
| wolfcore | it seems like bash thinks that those two are one path, because there is a space and so the colon isn't used as a separator, but as part of the path | 02:29 |
| DoctorMonocular | that's a good point, but it's not in the bash_profile file, it must be getting that somewhere else -- where would it get that path from? | 02:31 |
| phaedrus44 | hey all! | 02:32 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: so neither of the directories from that error exist? | 02:32 |
| flowerpot | DoctorMonocular, no basis for this, but maybe something updated /etc/environment? | 02:32 |

| wolfcore | wilberarch: tried rebooting? | 02:32 |
| wilberarch | wolfcore, about 8 times, yes... | 02:33 |
| DoctorMonocular | usr/local/bin/rails exists, that other, not | 02:33 |
| wilberarch | no love with or without KVM... Screen resolution is off, too... | 02:33 |
| wilberarch | tried replugging after boot, nada... | 02:34 |
| flowerpot | have you tried unplugging and then plugging back in your keyboard and mouse? | 02:34 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: I think the problem is that rails is trying to use ruby 1.8, which isn't on your system | 02:35 |
| DoctorMonocular | remember though, everything including rails works perfectly in the term that I used to install rvm and ruby and rails and etc in, but not in any other windows | 02:36 |
| DoctorMonocular | so somwhow THAT rails knows to use rvm ruby, while the others are trying to look for 1.8 | 02:36 |
| sirdeiu | DoctorMonocular: try running source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm in another terminal then you rails app. | 02:37 |

| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: have you logged out and back in?? | 02:37 |
| DoctorMonocular | good idea, but no change | 02:37 |

| DoctorMonocular | hah, I've been avoiding it because then I'll lose my only working window 8( But ok, back in a sec | 02:38 |
| DoctorMonocular | ok, I logged out and back in | 02:40 |
| DoctorMonocular | it did not source the bash_profile | 02:40 |
| DoctorMonocular | if I do ruby -v before sourcing | 02:40 |
| DoctorMonocular | it says NOPE, but if I source, it reports 1.9.3 -- rails still won't run though | 02:41 |
| wolfcore | DoctorMonocular: so the problem now is that bash_profile is not being sourced by new terms? | 02:41 |
| DoctorMonocular | yessir | 02:41 |
| wolfcore | did you _actually_ log out? | 02:41 |
| wolfcore | as in, had to reenter your password, etc | 02:42 |

| DoctorMonocular | I logged out, it shut all my programs down | 02:43 |

| mjbrooks | Downloading Language pasks at 17.7 KB/s yay | 03:27 |
| mjbrooks | taqui: in what language? | 03:28 |
| GINGERNIPS | ZenGuy311 can i just install 12.04 along 11.04 than go back and just delete the partions for 12 | 03:28 |
| taqui | .net, java, php | 03:28 |
| GINGERNIPS | so that way i dont have to fuck with my windows cd and all that | 03:29 |
| ZenGuy311 | GINGERNIPS: if you have enough free unallocated space you can install 12.04 and do that | 03:29 |
| GINGERNIPS | well i cant edit these partions for some reason | 03:31 |
| GINGERNIPS | under the advance menu | 03:31 |
| mjbrooks | taqui: you probably won't get much advice on .net here ;) My suggestion for java is to avoid it, turns out Oracle wants to own it all and force you to pay them a license... at least that's the feeling I get | 03:31 |
| bazhang | taqui use alis to search for a channel and ask there | 03:32 |
| bazhang | !alis | taqui | 03:32 |

| reflexrg | if I install ubuntu with encrypted home which is separate partition and then next release comes out can I install ubuntu and still be able to access my home partition again as encrypted? | 03:32 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, no cursing here | 03:32 |
| reflexrg | same password | 03:32 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, your partitions are mounted? | 03:33 |
| taqui | Thanks all | 03:33 |
| GINGERNIPS | i guess? | 03:33 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, so you cannot edit them. boot from a livecd if you wish to do that sort of thing | 03:33 |
| GINGERNIPS | well im just gunna set the 12.04 to 4.5 gigs | 03:34 |
| GINGERNIPS | than go back | 03:34 |
| GINGERNIPS | and delete the 11.04 partitions | 03:34 |
| GINGERNIPS | so i dont have to mess with the windows cd | 03:34 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, you still cannot do it on a mounted drive | 03:34 |
| GINGERNIPS | why not | 03:34 |
| mjbrooks | because you can't | 03:34 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, dont use the enter key every two words | 03:34 |
| GINGERNIPS | well, how do i fix it? | 03:35 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, I told you already | 03:35 |
| GINGERNIPS | i dont have a windows cd tho | 03:35 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, you're not listening | 03:36 |
| GINGERNIPS | i just dont understand lol | 03:36 |
| GINGERNIPS | could you link me to something i could read? | 03:36 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, you wish to delete a partition that you have mounted and possibly in use. | 03:37 |
| bazhang | GINGERNIPS, think about why that is not going to work. USE a live cd to do any sort of operation like that | 03:38 |
| GINGERNIPS | isnt the usb the same as a live cd? | 03:38 |
| OerHeks | sure | 03:38 |
| GINGERNIPS | thats what im using | 03:38 |

| taqui | hey guys help me to join a group after searching it | 03:44 |
| mjbrooks | If I tell the installer not to download updates during the initial installation it shouldn't download a bunch of libreoffice packages... grrr | 03:45 |

| Igmu_ | then sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:54 |

| clock_cycles | Logan_: I looks fine, but the research tab wraps around. | 04:02 |
| Logan_ | Which browser? | 04:02 |
| clock_cycles | Logan_: Firefox | 04:02 |
| Logan_ | Looks fine to me in Chromium. | 04:02 |
| Logan_ | Not happening for me in Firefox either. | 04:02 |
| digitalj | is the ubuntu us repos download extremely slow for anything else? | 04:03 |
| clock_cycles | Logan_: I was on Debian and I had to get some fonts. Now with Ubuntu, it's not fixed. | 04:03 |
| wendico | there are many softwares to screencast, how nice. would you recomend me one with the most functions to make nice tutorials? (maybe one wich would let me live zoom the screen, add caption test and hyperlinks, live voice recording, automatically saves the result into compresed video for web...). So i dont need to test them all | 04:03 |
| Logan_ | digitalj: Torrent it. | 04:03 |
| wylde | wendico: I've never used one. Each package should have some info available about. Some likley even a homepage. I usually start with package homepages to get more info about features and whatnot. | 04:06 |
| digitalj | Logan_, torrent what? | 04:06 |
| digitalj | Not the Ubuntu install image, but downloading packages from repos | 04:06 |

| Ted_ | hi, I was hoping I could ask what seems like a pretty simple question… I've successfully created a live USB to boot from on my Intel MacbookPro, but I wanted to find out if there was any way for me to actually install ubuntu on this stick - It's 16 gb, and it's currently formatted FAT using diskutility on my mac. Every time I've tried, I've gotten various errors - I just want to be able to... | 04:07 |
| Ted_ | ...load the drive using ReFit and boot it as if it was an internal partition, thanks | 04:07 |
| Ted_ | (Tried asking in beginners, because I definitely am, but didn't get any response) | 04:08 |
| wylde | Ted_: you can install on the media you're booted from. | 04:08 |
| wylde | can't | 04:09 |
| mjbrooks | digitalj: yes, it is sloooowwww | 04:09 |
| Ted_ | That's what I thought - however, I've also made a live CD - so if I booted from the CD, would I be able to successfully install on the usb? | 04:09 |
| GINGERNIPS | ive installed 12.04 and restarted my computer. I already had 11.04 but i just did installed 12.04 along side that and windows vista. I know only have the option to boot to vista and 11.04. I can see the three seperate partitions | 04:09 |
| wylde | Ted_: yep that should work. Although I can't speak to how well it will work. | 04:09 |
| wylde | Ted_: Just be VERY careful when partitioning to make sure you have the right media/drive selected. | 04:10 |
| Ted_ | I have everything backed up - I'm pretty much expecting to accidentally format my HD | 04:11 |
| smw | Ted_, good idea, I did that to myself last week | 04:11 |
| mjbrooks | digitalj: I had tried starting over and setting a different mirror, but the installer insisted on automatically switching to the us server for the intial install | 04:12 |
| Bongo | looking for some support :D installed ubuntu from a live USB and it wont boot. | 04:12 |
| smw | Bongo, won't boot? | 04:12 |
| Bongo | yeah it just sits at a black screen with the text box blinking in the corner | 04:12 |
| Ted_ | smw_ if I'm installing on a blank USB, what steps should I take once I start the installer from the CD - I know I need to make a 1gb swap partition, but I don't know what format, or how to do that exactly | 04:13 |
| Bongo | ive tried rebooting from my live usb and that also wont boot | 04:13 |
| ex0 | swap | 04:13 |
| ex0 | is the format | 04:13 |
| wylde | Ted_: lol, alright. Better to expect the worst than be surprised by it. :) | 04:13 |
| mjbrooks | Bongo: tried unpluggin the USB and booting without it in? | 04:13 |
| smw | Ted_, "swap" is a format type | 04:14 |
| Igmu | I used downloaded program from pendrivelinux.com to load Edubuntu 12.04 on my USB thumb drive. I booted from my USB drive. Edubuntu splash screen loads. I press CTR-ALT-TAB to see details. It says it's looking for files in /cdrom, but it can't find those files. Do I have to change this to something else? | 04:14 |
| Bongo | yes still doesnt work | 04:14 |
| Ted_ | that makes a great deal more sense | 04:14 |
| smw | Ted_, you also need a partition for your root (called "/") | 04:14 |
| smw | Ted_, I suggest you format as ext4 | 04:14 |
| smw | Ted_, and if you want, what I normally do is give 50GB to the root and the rest to /home | 04:15 |
| Ted_ | and how exactly should I do that? the guide from "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation" says to use gparted | 04:15 |
| smw | Ted_, with swap getting twice my ram | 04:15 |
| smw | Ted_, you are installing on a mac? | 04:15 |
| Ted_ | I'm installing on a usb | 04:16 |
| Ted_ | 16 gb | 04:16 |
| Ted_ | I need to be able to boot it on multiple computers | 04:16 |
| wendico | im short in ram memory, is it posible to speed up my ubuntu with a usb stick as windows does? | 04:16 |
| Bongo | anybody help me? installed ubuntu and it wont boot! also wont boot from the live usb anymore either | 04:16 |
| smw | wendico, adding a usb stick will not speed it up | 04:16 |
| smw | wendico, not sure how it would speed up windows either... | 04:17 |
| mjbrooks | i agree smw | 04:17 |
| digitalj | Fetched 19.2 MB in 16min 0s (20.0 kB/s) | 04:18 |
| wendico | smw: it dows by swaping small files to the flash instead of ram memory to free it | 04:18 |
| digitalj | So fricking slow wtf | 04:18 |
| mjbrooks | digitalj: I'll race you ;) | 04:18 |
| smw | wendico, and that would be incredibly slow | 04:18 |
| Igmu | It looks like many are having the same booting from USB thumb drive problem? | 04:18 |
| smw | wendico, swapping things to disk makes things slower, not faster | 04:18 |
| mjbrooks | 901:00 remaing | 04:19 |
| smw | wendico, swapping to a usb drive would be insanely slow compared to swapping to disk | 04:19 |
| wendico | smw:we are talking about a full ram enviroment | 04:19 |
| wendico | smw:i mean, not free ram enviroment | 04:19 |
| smw | wendico, in that case I would use swap on a hard drive, not usb | 04:20 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Ted_ | I'm successfully able to boot from my live usb, but I want to have a full install on the usb so what I do will be saved | 04:20 |
| smw | wendico, or buy more ram | 04:20 |
| smw | Ted_, so do it :-) | 04:20 |
| wendico | smw: lol, BUY is not a solution hehe | 04:20 |
| === uw is now known as Guest46028 | ||
| smw | wendico, I always keep 2x ram as swap space | 04:21 |
| smw | wendico, usb swap would be slower than hard drive swap | 04:21 |
| Ted_ | I will now try, and report back when/if I fail. :) | 04:21 |
| smw | Ted_, make a partition mounted at / that is ext4 and takes up the entire drive | 04:21 |
| Ted_ | that's exactly what I will try to do | 04:22 |
| smw | Ted_, (a GB of swap is not very useful) | 04:22 |
| Ted_ | thanks so much for all the help everyone | 04:22 |
| Ted_ | oh really? | 04:22 |
| smw | Ted_, unless you plan to run this on machine with very little ram | 04:22 |
| Ted_ | no, I have 4 gb ram | 04:22 |
| digitalj | I know a way around this... | 04:22 |
| smw | Ted_, swap only matters when you run out of ram | 04:22 |
| wendico | smw: true for the real meaning of "swaping" but not in practise, in some escenarios, swaping to flash can be faster, thats what ReadyBoost is all about. Is there something similar for my ubuntu? | 04:23 |
| Ted_ | I just said 1 gb because that's what the ubuntu website recommended | 04:23 |
| smw | Ted_, and it reduces the life of your flash drive | 04:23 |
| Ted_ | I see | 04:23 |
| Ted_ | so you're saying no swap necessary? | 04:23 |
| Ted_ | just partition the entire drive at /? | 04:23 |
| smw | Ted_, not unless your machine has under a GB of ram | 04:23 |
| smw | Ted_, that is what I would do | 04:23 |
| Ted_ | alright, good to know - thanks so much | 04:23 |
| smw | Ted_, actually, less than 2GB I would use swap :-) | 04:24 |
| Ted_ | well, either way - I have 4 :) | 04:24 |
| smw | wendico, you can swap to any disk | 04:24 |
| smw | wendico, just make a swap partition and swapon | 04:25 |
| wendico | smw, i see, but that, as you say, will be slower. better swap to hard disk unless i can "smart swap" | 04:25 |

| chip8874 | Is anyone using a xfx radeon HD 6790 per chance? | 04:26 |
| smw | wendico, truthfully, in a total ram used environment, I would just install a light desktop environment and have swap on disk | 04:27 |

| mjbrooks | digitalj: are we racing? | 04:27 |

| wendico | smw, yes smw, i will have to give up my ubuntu and install something lighter | 04:27 |

| jellypod | how do i edit the icon launcher in (or the menus in general) on ubuntu 12.04 using Gnome Classic (gnome-panel)? | 06:00 |
| jellypod | I mean within the application menu. | 06:00 |
| zizoo | Hello, does anyone know why my computer always crashes when shut down via cron? | 06:01 |
| jellypod | Application>Accessories>terminal for example, how to I edit the launcher in that menu on ubuntu 12.04 using Gnome Classic? | 06:01 |
| jellypod | zizoo: dunno | 06:01 |
| jagginess | jellypod, maybe you can make a launcher on the menu bar, then holt alt+rightclick on the icon | 06:02 |
| jellypod | jagginess: that does work, but I really prefer to change the launcher. For example, I end googleearth to start with "optirun googleearth" for it to work. | 06:03 |
| jellypod | end=need | 06:03 |
| zizoo | Also, is there any way to set cron to only execute a command at the listed time if it's on? I set it to shut down at specified times, but if I turn it off before and turn it on after, it shuts down immediately. This is annoying. | 06:03 |
| jellypod | zizoo: I would run a bash script in cron, and the bash script would check if the process is running, and act accordingly | 06:04 |
| zizoo | Err, you mean have a bash script check the time and shut down if it's the specified time? That's a good idea. | 06:05 |
| flowerpot | Can anyone else using du 8.13 and Ubuntu 12.04 reproduce this bug? http://pastebin.com/GGhFDjDy | 06:06 |
| jellypod | zizoo: no, i mean setup the cron for whenever you want. but instead of running the command you want running at that time, run a script that checks if the process is running and then runs your command if it is. | 06:07 |
| hampsterblade | How can i troubleshoot the network service not starting in 12.04 | 06:07 |
| zizoo | Huh? Are you thinking I mean to shut down a particular process, because I am shutting down the whole computer? | 06:07 |
| zizoo | Or what process am I meant to be checking for? | 06:08 |
| zizoo | The command is "sudo shutdown now". | 06:08 |

| zizoo | Yes. I want it to turn off the computer. As it stands, there are two problems. To the crashing you said you didn't know what the problem was. The other was that it turns off again as soon as I turn it on if I shut it down before the specified time. | 06:13 |

| kimspindel | use unetbootin | 06:18 |
| hampsterblade | I just lost networking and cant figure out why | 06:18 |
| jellypod | deejay31: are you using windows to make the usb? | 06:18 |
| hampsterblade | So im pretty pissed atm | 06:18 |
| deejay31 | Will that make it boot like if I normal booted an ubuntu PC | 06:18 |

| kimspindel | deejay31: yes, it has an option to | 06:18 |

| deejay31 | Thank you | 06:19 |
| jellypod | are persistent changes built into unetbootin? I thought it just made a live cd. | 06:19 |
| jellypod | he, I was wrong if it does persistent changes. that use to be harder to do. | 06:20 |
| kimspindel | oh, i don't even know what persistent changes are, lol | 06:20 |
| deejay31 | Also, I am thinking of changing my Server from CentOS to Ubuntu, is there any significant changes? | 06:20 |
| jellypod | kimspindel: that means that you make a bootable live usb and it will save the changes that you make when you boot into it. | 06:20 |
| jagginess | deejay31, there's a server ubuntu edition that supports raid on install (the desktop one doesnt support raid on install) | 06:21 |
| deejay31 | Ok but is there any HUGE differences | 06:21 |
| jellypod | deejay31: I like it better, the community is stronger imo. more current applications are ported to ubuntu also, imo. | 06:21 |
| jagginess | deejay31, huge difference between centos and ubuntu? you should ask in #linux | 06:21 |

| shape | Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 3 hours ago and since then Ive been trying to get Thunderbird to work. I keep getting this message: "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account". I've tried both gmail and yahoo with the exact settings that I use on my other computer (which works no problem), and I get the same error. Can someone please help? :( | 07:04 |
| shape | I've tried reinstalling it multiple times, including the system itself and I get the same problem. The version is 12.0.1 | 07:05 |
| iops | _ProtekNickz: It's a matter of preference, but I've always liked Gnome 2 (and now Unity) better than KDE | 07:05 |
| mjbrooks | install time has now exceed 6 hours... sigh | 07:05 |
| alexhairyman | Me too | 07:06 |
| _ProtekNickz | shape: make sure the pop and smtp settings are correct | 07:06 |
| mjbrooks | alexhairyman: I told it not to download updates but it is anyway it seems | 07:06 |
| shape | _ProtekNickz, I copied them 100% correct from the computer that is working with those settings. :( | 07:06 |
| iops | shape: Thunderbird should be able to auto configure for Gmail. What server are you pointing it at? | 07:07 |
| shape | _ProtekNickz, I am losing my mind literally. I reinstalled Ubuntu even! | 07:07 |
| shape | iops, that's the thing, it doesn't do it automatically. I suspect something is blocking its connection. | 07:07 |
| _ProtekNickz | shape: did you check incase you need SSL? or normal pass ect.. | 07:07 |
| shape | _ProtekNickz, I've done that, yes. | 07:07 |
| _ProtekNickz | k | 07:07 |
| iops | shape: Did you enable POP or IMAP in your Gmail settings? | 07:08 |
| Artemis3 | shape, your problem seems related to thunderbird, reinstalling ubuntu is not necesary, you could just wipe ~/.thunderbird and start again | 07:08 |
| iops | shape: Do you have 2 factor authentication enabled? You have to create an app specific password in that case | 07:08 |
| shape | iops, what is a 2 factor authentification? | 07:09 |
| shape | Artemis3 I did that at least 2 times :( | 07:09 |
| iops | If you're asking, then you probably don't have it enabled. :) It's where Gmail sends you text message and you have to enter a code to login | 07:09 |
| prabuinet | hi, i can't find keyboard layout for my language(tamil) in ubuntu, so I would like to create one, where should I start? | 07:09 |
| Logan_ | prabuinet: I have Tamil available as a keyboard layout in Ubuntu. | 07:10 |
| shape | iops. So my normal email, on my other computer works with Thunderbird right at this moment. And I am trying to set up the same email on this computer. You are saying they are conflicting? | 07:10 |
| prabuinet | Logan_: there are a few layouts listed, but i need the office layout for tamil (tamil99) | 07:11 |
| prabuinet | Logan_: official layout of the government | 07:11 |
| shape | iops. Because the email is working on the other computer, I assume everything is turned on in Gmail. no? | 07:12 |
| iops | shape: No, if it already works on one computer, it should work on the other | 07:12 |
| shape | iops, exactly :( | 07:12 |
| prabuinet | Logan_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_99 | 07:12 |
| Logan_ | Ah. | 07:12 |
| iops | Is that a Windows computer? | 07:12 |
| shape | iops, both of them are running Ubuntu. | 07:12 |
| shape | with Thunderbird that comes with it. | 07:12 |
| iops | shape: Do you have access to that computer? Try copying the entire .thunderbird folder over | 07:13 |
| shape | iops: I sure can | 07:13 |
| shape | iops: give me a sec | 07:13 |
| jellypod | remlabm: yes, new chipset, it has two gpus, you can run things using optirun as a prefix. | 07:14 |
| iops | shape: Delete the .thunderbird folder that's on the new computer first | 07:14 |
| shape | iops, shouldnt I just uninstall it? | 07:14 |
| iops | Nah, just delete the profile folder | 07:14 |
| iops | And copy the other one over | 07:15 |
| shape | iops, so just delete the .thunderbird from the home folder and copy the other one. | 07:15 |
| iops | Uninstalling Thunderbird actually won't remove the folder. You want to copy the settings over | 07:15 |
| iops | Yep | 07:15 |
| jellypod | does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? | 07:15 |
| shape | iops: copying now to a USB drive, 3 minutes remaining. I will let you know once I finish everything | 07:16 |
| iops | ok | 07:16 |
| iops | shape: If that doesn't work then the problem isn't in your Thunderbird settings | 07:17 |
| Logan_ | prabuinet: Maybe someone in #ubuntu-tam would know? | 07:18 |
| jellypod | does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? You can nomally launch it from gnome-control-center, second icon. | 07:18 |
| prabuinet | Logan_: thanks, i'll check it out | 07:18 |
| Logan_ | np | 07:18 |
| shape | iops, in the meantime, while it's copying, what else could it be. ufw is disabled for example. Anything else that might block the connection? | 07:18 |
| iops | shape: Also, close Thunderbird before you copy the folder onto the new computer | 07:18 |
| shape | iops, yep, it's closed and the folder is deleted. | 07:19 |
| maxyy | Que bueno verte por aqui [maxyy] | 07:19 |
| maxyy | Me alegra que entraste [robgraves] | 07:19 |
| mjbrooks | oh wonderful, after downloading the updates I told it not to, the installer now seesm to be hanging on the Installing System step | 07:20 |
| iops | shape: Maybe. Open a terminal and type "ping -c3 smtp.gmail.com". If you can ping the server, then it's reachable | 07:22 |
| shape | iops: it works. I just pinged it. It should've worked anyway since the other computer connects and gets email fine. So the whole thing comes down to the system I just installed and/or the thunderbird version. | 07:24 |

| bersam | hi everybody! i want to install ubuntu beside of my archlinux, the problem is i want to share home partition between two distro but ubuntu can't access to my partition home ... | 07:25 |
| shape | iops: I copied it and it's working! | 07:25 |
| iops | Ok :) | 07:25 |
| shape | iops: so it was Thunderbird. | 07:25 |
| zizoo | Ok, so I figured something out about my cron problem. Every time cron shuts down the computer, stopping automatically generated error reports fails before the crash. Anyone know what that means, or what logs or such I can look at to help figure it out? | 07:26 |
| shape | iops: but now I just dont understand, after installing it 5 times, with 3 different methods, why it didn't work! | 07:26 |

| iops | shape: There was an error in the configuration settings. reinstalling it at the system level wouldn't make a difference as long as the old .thunderbird folder with the bad configuration was still there | 07:27 |
| iops | :) | 07:27 |
| shape | iops: But I even reinstalled Ubuntu | 07:27 |
| shape | iops: strange, no? | 07:28 |
| tacirus | Anybody to let me know why Epiphany browser doesn`t run flash while Chromium and Firefox are alright with it, having the Adobe flash player verison 11 installed | 07:30 |
| shape | iops: Btw, I can see now, that the program was skipping the part where it searches in the mozilla configuration database. | 07:30 |
| iops | shape: Yeah, but if you configured it wrong after reinstallation then you're back where you started | 07:30 |
| jellypod | does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? You can nomally launch it from gnome-control-center, second icon. | 07:30 |
| iops | shape: Nice thing about copying the folder over is that you get all your emails already on the system rather than having to download them | 07:30 |
| shape | iops: yes I had to copy 1GB :) also iops: There was no configuration. It just wouldn't search and give me the imap for gmail from the mozilla database. It skipped that part and told me it couldn't find the settings and that I should configure it manually. And even if I did so it still wouldn't work. | 07:31 |
| shape | iops: That is what I don't understand what was going on | 07:31 |
| Zallx | howto webviewer tvtuner ?.? | 07:31 |

| shape | iops, I cannot find them though. I am looking because I was curious | 07:35 |
| jellypod | does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? You can nomally launch it from gnome-control-center, second icon. | 07:35 |
| orated | Zallx: ifup - bring a network interface up -- ifdown - take a network interface down | 07:35 |

| c4pt | hi | 07:42 |
| Zallx | what u need ? | 07:42 |
| c4pt | Zallx, i am trying to run two sound cards at the same time onboard sound and sb x-fi sound | 07:42 |
| c4pt | Zallx, if i put the sb x-fi card into my computer my intel hda disappears from lspci and the system | 07:42 |
| hattrap | @shape i formatted my usb using disk utility but now it is not detected by Ubuntu | 07:42 |
| Zallx | i need a webshare or viewer for tvtuner .... for my phone so i can watch tv always | 07:42 |
| c4pt | Zallx, if i take the card out (if i take out the sb x-fi) my intel hda audio is back | 07:43 |
| shape | hattrap, I chose to do that because the computer is really old and I wasn't using it. 1.6 Ghz AMD Sempron. But if you don't have an extra computer I'm sure you can learn it if you run it in Virtualbox or VMware, that way you won't mess it up if you're screwing around. | 07:43 |
| Zallx | c4pt: best guess is to add virtual mixers ? | 07:43 |
| hattrap | unfortunately i messed up all my date...wished would have taken a backup | 07:44 |
| Zallx | why 2 soundcards ? | 07:44 |
| c4pt | Zallx, but why does it disappear from lspci -vvv ? | 07:44 |
| renatka | renatka | 07:44 |
| c4pt | Zallx, one card for parallels extreme (virtualization) | 07:44 |
| jellypod | does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? You can nomally launch it from gnome-control-center, second icon. | 07:44 |
| renatka | Renatka | 07:44 |
| Zallx | c4pt: becuz onboard is disabsled when offboard is attached is my best guess | 07:44 |
| shape | hattrap, but you formatted the USB, werent you expecting to lose the data? | 07:44 |
| shape | hattrap, does windows see it? | 07:44 |
| c4pt | Zallx, so how can i resolve it ? | 07:44 |
| c4pt | Zallx, i would really like both cards to be used | 07:44 |
| Zallx | u need to rewrite the driver so it doesnt disable | 07:45 |
| renatka | Renatka | 07:45 |
| c4pt | Zallx, it shows the video card hdmi audio and usb audio | 07:45 |
| Zallx | or add a AlwaysEnableOnboard.sh | 07:45 |
| Zallx | to re-enable it after its disabled ? | 07:45 |
| jellypod | seriously, nothing for brightness and lock? | 07:46 |
| hattrap | not in USb...i used to work in windows. when i started Ubuntu it was ext....i tried to change ext to ntfs so that i can access ubuntu from windows but...forget it ...it is a long story | 07:46 |
| Zallx | then add that to bashrc | 07:46 |
| shape | Does anyone know if your firewall iptables is not enabled, if it makes you vulnerable to attacks? I remember in Windows I was getting attacked all the time. | 07:46 |
| waxstone | hi, experiencing RANDOM freezing causing me to have to reboot. cannot CTRL+ALT+F1. (12.04 64bit Nvidia gtx680). Using proprietarydriver because less freezing than opensource driver | 07:46 |

| shape | jellypod, yes. | 07:49 |
| === dylan is now known as Guest70657 | ||
| jellypod | if you are blocking inbound connections (usual set by default on a router) you are likely gud. You would need to setup port forwarding to hit your machine from outside your router. | 07:50 |
| shape | jellypod, Linksys wrt54gl. Yeah and it's all good, yet Comodo still detects intrusions in Windows. | 07:50 |
| c4pt | Zallx, can i pm? | 07:50 |
| shape | jellypod, blocks intrusions* | 07:50 |
| jellypod | windows is vulnerable to everything imo. I cant help with that. | 07:51 |
| shape | jellypod, Oh, yes I know that. I was just asking if you have iptables disabled, would you still be safe. | 07:51 |

| greenit | hi, i have a lexmark-printer and installed the lexmark-toolbox, but when i want to print, it just aborts the print-jobs, because i have no more color-ink, however, the black ink is nearly full and i want to print black only... how can i force the print or change settings so that it prints? | 07:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | greenit: that's probably a question best answered by lexmark. From what I've heard some printers won't *let* you do that. | 07:56 |
| shape | jellypod, can you please paste me what you said in case you responded? My internet crashed. :( | 07:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | greenit: there is an alternative though | 07:56 |
| greenit | DarwinSurvivor, k | 07:56 |
| greenit | DarwinSurvivor, which one? | 07:56 |
| jellypod | shape: Just asked why you have iptables off. | 07:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | greenit: some printers allow you to override the toner sensor to always show pull (I do this on my HP to get a few hundred more prints per cartridge). | 07:57 |
| DND | hi guys need help. we have a very old P4 computer running ubuntu 12.04 it also has a very old agp video card that has 2 outputs. the problem is.when i left the two tvs running the second tv just decides to sleep | 07:57 |
| DND | i have disabled the screensaver and its still happening | 07:57 |
| AtTrackTor | hi @ all | 07:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | greenit: on the HP it actually right in the button-controlled menu on the printer itself (as well as the printer's web interface), you'll have to check with lexmark to find out if your printer has a similar feature (check the manual for "override") | 07:58 |
| shape | jellypod, before I answer that, is iptables the same as ufw ? | 07:58 |
| jellypod | mm, no | 07:58 |

| jellypod | shape: that is default. | 08:01 |
| shape | jellypod, so it's all good, right? | 08:01 |
| jellypod | sounds good | 08:01 |
| jellypod | deejay31: how is it? | 08:02 |
| deejay31 | jellypod: I was about to reinstall centos, because apt-get want installing packages, then I realised that I need to run sudo apt-get update | 08:02 |
| jellypod | sudo! | 08:02 |
| DND | DarwinSurvivor, ok wil try switching and will even heck the bios | 08:02 |
| deejay31 | Better than centos though | 08:02 |
| shape | jellypod, So is there any other way I might be at risk against attacks? Or just being on Ubuntu makes it hard to do that. | 08:02 |
| AtTrackTor | need just a small hint. I created a file as root in a folder named /home/shared (to have a folder for all users). chmod 777 on folder and file. chgrp users on folder and file. but still trying to open the file as one of my "users" says "error opening file". can someone please tell me, what I forgot? | 08:02 |
| jellypod | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:02 |
| jellypod | then reboot | 08:02 |
| deejay31 | who me | 08:02 |
| jellypod | shape: being on ubuntu makes it hard, but it really depends on what you are doing. | 08:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | AtTrackTor: please run "ls -l path_to_file" and tell us what you get | 08:03 |
| jellypod | if you are just using a desktop behind a router, you should be fine from the outside world. | 08:03 |

| jellypod | deejay31: do it | 08:04 |
| jellypod | y | 08:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DND: remember, if you are using a laptop, chances are you will eventually connect to an unencrypted network (mcdonalds, starbucks, etc). THAT is where your firewall will save your butt. | 08:04 |
| jellypod | needs the upgrades | 08:04 |
| deejay31 | me do what | 08:04 |
| fasta | It now upgrades a bunch of packages and then stops asking me questions and then it goes again and then it stops again. It drives me crazy. | 08:04 |
| AtTrackTor | DarwinSurvivor: drwxrxrwx 7 root users 4096 2012-05-19 20:22 aponotebook | 08:05 |
| jellypod | deejay31: sorry, I thought you were running upgrades with apt | 08:05 |
| deejay31 | I did | 08:05 |

| DarwinSurvivor | AtTrackTor: that's a directory, not a file | 08:05 |
| jellypod | is everything working gud? | 08:06 |
| deejay31 | Yes, I didnt need to manuslly install , my host has that option! | 08:06 |
| jellypod | deejay31: cool. | 08:06 |
| deejay31 | Yes, It saves all the CD''s and USB drives and slow internet stuff | 08:07 |
| jellypod | deejay31: check out /apt/sources.list, you might want to uncomment partners. Also check out the medibuntu repos. | 08:07 |
| deejay31 | My packages are working now | 08:07 |

| jellypod | FloodBot1: sorry | 08:07 |
| deejay31 | Lol | 08:07 |
| jellypod | (: | 08:08 |
| AtTrackTor | DarwinSurvivor: you're right. and i think, i found the reason. the group of all files changed. but most files are still in mod 755 or even 600. | 08:08 |
| DND | DarwinSurvivor, is that message for me im using a desktop and 2 LCD tv are connected to a single video card | 08:08 |
| deejay31 | Is it possible to use irssi as an IRC bouncer | 08:08 |
| deejay31 | I suppose if I put it in a screen... | 08:08 |
| jellypod | mmmmm...how do you mean? | 08:08 |
| jellypod | yes, that is what i do deejay31 | 08:08 |
| jellypod | screen | 08:08 |
| deejay31 | So you are using irssi now | 08:09 |
| zizoo | lol, apologizing to bots. I've done that. xD.... For a sec I thought I figured out your problem, jellypod, then I realized that you mentioned you're using 12.04 now. I'm thinking I was right to delay updating. Lots of people having random troubles. >.> | 08:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DND: no, I was answering another quick question for someone else. did you get the TV's switched and narrow down the source of the problem? | 08:09 |
| jellypod | deejay31: nice howto for irssi and ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010780 | 08:09 |
| deejay31 | I am using irssi on ubuntu now | 08:09 |
| Berg | I take it there is no remedy for my problem as no response have a nice day all | 08:09 |
| jellypod | just did it on ubuntu 12.04 | 08:09 |
| jellypod | deejay31: well if you want the irssi scripts and such | 08:10 |
| deejay31 | Ok thank you | 08:10 |
| jellypod | np | 08:10 |
| deejay31 | Joy only 59 minutes left of uploading | 08:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Athanasius: why are your files mod 755? Are they scripts or something? (odd numbered permissions mean executable) | 08:11 |
| Athanasius | DarwinSurvivor: huh? | 08:12 |
| Athanasius | oh | 08:12 |
| netrunner1 | is there a boot option i can place to use a non-pae kernel on a 12.04 server installation? | 08:13 |
| jellypod | so another fail with ubuntu 12.04, no command line command to run the brightness & lock window | 08:13 |
| deejay31 | Oh yes ,ubuntu is the best | 08:13 |
| jellypod | fail | 08:14 |
| jellypod | \o/ubuntu | 08:14 |
| deejay31 | I using Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64, is that good? | 08:14 |
| jellypod | deejay31: sure | 08:14 |
| deejay31 | My host didnt have 12.04 | 08:14 |
| jellypod | its gud enough for now | 08:15 |
| jellypod | i still use 10.04 | 08:15 |
| jellypod | and love it | 08:15 |
| deejay31 | Whys that | 08:15 |
| zizoo | 10.04 is better you think? | 08:15 |
| jellypod | I like it better | 08:15 |
| jellypod | no unity | 08:15 |
| deejay31 | Do you need unity on a server? | 08:16 |
| jellypod | gnome2...no reason to really upgrade. | 08:16 |
| zizoo | Isn't gnome classic in 11.10 good enough for that? | 08:16 |
| jellypod | deejay31: no | 08:16 |
| waxstone | hi, experiencing RANDOM freezing causing me to have to reboot. cannot CTRL+ALT+F1. (12.04 64bit Nvidia gtx680). Using proprietarydriver because less freezing than opensource driver | 08:16 |
| zizoo | I haven't had problems with it anyways. | 08:16 |
| jellypod | install gnome-panel and gnome-shell if you want to try something else for GUI desktop deejay31 | 08:16 |
| jellypod | zizoo: some like, most ive met do not like unity (yet) | 08:16 |
| deejay31 | pastebin | 08:17 |
| jellypod | ? | 08:17 |
| deejay31 | I was seeing if ubottu is in the room | 08:17 |
| deejay31 | http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | 08:17 |
| zizoo | No, no, I dislike unity. I'm talking about using the classic desktop to be rid of the interface.... Or is that a bit backwards of me? | 08:17 |
| jellypod | zizoo: I use classic | 08:18 |
| jellypod | on 12.04 | 08:18 |
| StarryNight | i went kde | 08:18 |
| jellypod | and regular old gnome2 on 10.04 | 08:18 |
| ldz420 | jellypod: yeah.. i know a couple of people that don't like unity some of the item are imo good innovations - I am also not a fan of new things and didn't think that I would like unity | 08:18 |
| deejay31 | I hate unity, in my opinion it is only good on a touchscreen | 08:18 |
| jellypod | kde, blah, imo. | 08:18 |
| zizoo | but it's giving you a lot of grief now, isn't it? I've been pretty happy on 11.10's classic. | 08:18 |
| zizoo | Agreed on the touchscreen point. | 08:18 |
| deejay31 | Yes | 08:18 |
| fasta | Ubuntu informed me 3 times now that the php.ini file has changed. One would think that one is enough. | 08:18 |
| ldz420 | have anyone that doesn't like unity use 12.04 LTS? | 08:19 |
| popey | jellypod: gnome-control-center screen | 08:19 |
| jellypod | ldz420: just such a learning curve. been using ubuntu since breezy, debian/slackware/gentoo before that. This is easily the hardest time ive had in a while. | 08:19 |
| jellypod | popey: for what? | 08:19 |
| popey | jellypod: in answer to your comment that you can't start brightness and lock from the command line | 08:19 |
| jellypod | popey: right, is there a terminal command for the brightness window, second icon, I just want to lanch that second icon in gnome-control-center.. | 08:20 |
| popey | jellypod: thats what i just gave you gnome-control-center screen | 08:20 |
| deejay31 | Jellypod: Do you think the centos apache config file will work on ubuntu | 08:20 |
| jellypod | popey: YOU R the man | 08:21 |
| jellypod | \o/thx | 08:21 |
| popey | np | 08:21 |
| * jellypod is SOOO HAPPY | 08:21 | |
| popey | so, we can conclude from this that 12.04 is not as faily as first announced :p | 08:22 |
| deejay31 | Ok... | 08:22 |
| excalibr | does anyone know of way to edit sciTE menu entries? | 08:22 |
| ldz420 | jellypod: I can understand I started ubuntu on 5.04 and used fedora and redhat before. but when using the HUD I have found it useful | 08:22 |
| deejay31 | Who here uses ubuntu on a server? | 08:23 |
| jellypod | ldz420: agreed | 08:23 |
| jellypod | deejay31: o/ I do | 08:23 |
| deejay31 | Same | 08:23 |
| jellypod | a few, and i use centos, in a server room. | 08:23 |
| jellypod | likez ubuntu moar | 08:23 |

| deejay31 | When I leave an SSH session inactive for about 2 minutes, my host drops the connection!? | 08:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DND: are you still there? | 08:24 |
| ldz420 | ok I have an issue and wanted to know if someone could think of some options that I could look into. I am using nvidia and when not using the proprietary drivers | 08:26 |
| ldz420 | my screen resolution doesn't go past 1024 * 768. which doesn't bother me that much . which is why I am not using the proprietary driver but wanted to know if there my be some options | 08:26 |
| ldz420 | besides proprietary nvidia drivers | 08:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hello guys | 08:28 |
| ldz420 | hey wiz_keed | 08:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ldz420: is there any reason you're *not* using the proprietary drivers? | 08:29 |

| ldz420 | DarwinSurvivor: when possible I try to stay away from proprietary it just hold a negative connotation in my mind especially when open source alternative covers my needs.. it is just the higher resolution would help with fitting more item on the screen .

| jellyblob | ohai all | 08:52 |

| jellyblob | ohai gnr | 08:52 |
| gnr | Wiz_KeeD: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 08:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i think you got the path wrong gnr | 08:53 |
| jellyblob | Im using Gnome Classic on Ubuntu 12.04. How do I save server connections, like under Place>bookmarks, the way I use to in 10.04? | 08:54 |
| gnr | you seems to be smart | 08:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | no i wan't trying to, there is no such directory Gnea | 08:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | gnr, | 08:54 |
| gnr | is the /etc/udev existed? | 08:55 |
| jellyblob | anyone know how to save server connections, like Places>bookmarks, for ssh connections using "Connect to Server"? On ubuntu 12.04..? | 08:56 |
| jellyblob | using Gnome Classic? | 08:56 |

| jellyblob | fasta: I will kill the second session with ctrl+d | 08:57 |
| cek | Hi. I'd like to have a very recent-kernel livecd, for testing new hardware. What would you recommend? | 08:57 |
| cek | That is, it means some userspace daemons should be aware of that hardware, too. like lsusb, lspci, dmidecode, mcelog | 08:57 |
| jellyblob | 12.04 | 08:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what now gnr :) ? | 08:58 |
| fasta | jellyblob: that has no effect. | 08:58 |
| jellyblob | cek: is ubuntu 12.04 gud enough? | 08:58 |
| cek | jellyblob, can it work under kernel.org latest stable kernel? | 08:58 |
| jellyblob | fasta, if you are in the second session? you should be able to ctrl+d and exit | 08:58 |
| fasta | jellyblob: I also cannot press F9 to get the menu. | 08:58 |
| jellyblob | let me do it to myself and see, I do that all the time accidently [: | 08:59 |
| fasta | jellyblob: my second session is this irc chat. | 08:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jellyblob: just drap/drop the folder to the bookmarks toolbar | 08:59 |
| fasta | jellyblob: there is no extra shell | 08:59 |
| gnr | edit the file, delete the one you don't want and add the one you need | 08:59 |
| jellyblob | ah, fasta easiest thing is to kill them both and start again, just saying, imo | 08:59 |
| fasta | jellyblob: that doesn't sound like a very informed solution. | 08:59 |
| jellyblob | fasta: if you kill the first session, I think it will kill the second session | 09:00 |
| jellyblob | fasta: Im just saying what is easy | 09:00 |
| cek | I don't want ubuntu with all bloatware, is it possible to make a text livecd? | 09:00 |
| jellyblob | if you hit ctrl+d in the second session though, at least on 10.04 and 12.04, it exits the session | 09:00 |
| gnr | Wiz_KeeD: something like this: # PCI device 0x168c:0x002b (ath9k) | 09:00 |

| jellyblob | cek: what about server edition? | 09:01 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i should run a command? | 09:01 |
| gnr | just make sure the drivers, mac address and the names are correct | 09:01 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok step 2...how do i do that? :)) | 09:01 |
| gnr | reboot and see if all is right | 09:01 |

| Wiz_KeeD | ahh, you mean add that to the doc and reboot gnr? | 09:03 |
| fasta | jellyblob: no, and you should t advice people to kill programs. | 09:03 |
| gnr | Wiz_KeeD: yup | 09:04 |
| fasta | jellyblob: solution was c-a-a-d. | 09:04 |
| jellyblob | fasta, ah I didnt know you were running the program... | 09:04 |
| fasta | jellyblob: yes, you knew. | 09:04 |
| fasta | jellyblob: because I said it was my irc client. | 09:04 |
| gnr | Wiz_KeeD:just make sure the drivers, mac address and the names are correct | 09:04 |
| jellyblob | fasta, ctrl+d is the easy thing to do, if you do not like the advice, feel free to ask someone else. | 09:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | gnr, how can i do that? | 09:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | with mac i can do ifconfig | 09:05 |
| fasta | jellyblob: I also told you that ctrl+d didnt work. | 09:05 |
| jellyblob | ctrl+d only makes sense if you are in terminal | 09:05 |
| jellyblob | if you are in irssi, it does nothing | 09:05 |
| fasta | jellyblob: and where was I? | 09:05 |
| gnr | Wiz_KeeD: ifconfig first and note down the mac | 09:05 |
| fasta | jellyblob: you should really stop your redundant talking. | 09:05 |
| jellyblob | fasta: I didnt know you were in your irc client. | 09:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | gnr, got it | 09:05 |
| jellyblob | fasta: you got your answer /ignore fasta | 09:05 |
| fasta | I will ignore you. | 09:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so i should replace it in your example? | 09:06 |
| gnr | Wiz_KeeD: nope, that's mine :) | 09:06 |
| gnr | Wiz_KeeD: haha except the mac | 09:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so i replace the mac with the one from ifconfig | 09:06 |

| ActionParsnip | quiet today | 09:37 |
| miss_ubuntu | Good Day ActionParsnip | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | hi miss_ubuntu | 09:38 |
| miss_ubuntu | Question : Quick file search, ONLY in file names ,indexed , through LENS in unity or some other method. possible?? | 09:38 |
| fasta | Humans look like smurfs in Youtube Flash videos. Other videos look OK. Any idea? | 09:39 |
| miss_ubuntu | Fasta u can increase the video resolution on youtube for better quality | 09:40 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: smurfs like in 'blue'. | 09:40 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionParsnip what tool do u use for searching only in filenames? | 09:40 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: the colors are all wrong (there is a lack of red, I think) | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: locate | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: you'll need to run: sudo updatedb first | 09:41 |
| miss_ubuntu | fasta , is ur monitor ok? | 09:41 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: I already said that other videos work fine. | 09:41 |
| dubey | I have setup RAID10 with 1TB of 8 volumes on Ubuntu 10.04 (Kernel 2.6.32-317-ec2) and md v2.6.7.1; I am facing system freezing issue | 09:41 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: I suppose I could even download the exat same video to verify. | 09:41 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionParsnip locate is not as good as Everything.exe in windows | 09:41 |
| miss_ubuntu | fasta have u tried any other browser? | 09:42 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: no | 09:42 |
| miss_ubuntu | fasta plz do :) | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: how, updatedb makes a database of the files, so the search is instantaneous | 09:42 |
| dubey | I also noticed that system CPU load continue to go up and one of the volume from array's ioload is 100% and avgqu = 100%+ | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dubey: is the ram healthy? | 09:43 |
| dubey | 16/32 GB RAM | 09:43 |
| dubey | rest volumes has not activity all 0 | 09:44 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionParsnip can we customize locate to search only in particular directory? | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: it's like searching a text file, its that fast, you can also grep the output and run commands on the output which windows can't do natively | 09:44 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionParsnip can we customize locate to INDEX only in particular directory? | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: to search a particular directory you'd need to grep, the database is ALL files | 09:45 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionParsnip i wish u have used Everything.exe | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: locate is a lot more powerful due to text streams in UNIX | 09:45 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: wrong | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: just saying 'wrong' means nothing | 09:45 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: locate has a configuration file. | 09:45 |
| iceroot | miss_ubuntu: --prunefs='path...' | 09:45 |
| iceroot | miss_ubuntu: which is for exclude see also "man updatedb" | 09:46 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: I had to stop you from creating yet more wrong statements. | 09:46 |
| cek | are there any ready livecds with ubuntu? i don't need desktop | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: then try saying that, gives 'wrong' some context | 09:46 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: there are also desktop search products on Linux. | 09:46 |
| dubey | also i am using jfs filesystem | 09:47 |
| miss_ubuntu | fasta e.g which product do u use? | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: wouldn't you say? | 09:47 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: e.g. Beagle, but I don't know what's currently the best one. | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: there is no 'best' | 09:47 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionParsnip how do u run updatedb instantaneously updated whenever a new file is created? | 09:48 |
| Blackshirt | What definition of best? | 09:48 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionParsnip thanks for the help by the way | 09:48 |
| waltreed | Hi all, I've just installed a 12.04 Server which installed Samba4 - Samba4 errors out and I really want samba3 anyway, yet can't seem to locate 3 in the repository. Is there an alternate repository I need to enable in sources.list to get Samba 3 instead of 4? | 09:48 |
| dubey | and checkarray cron doesn't finish in even for weeks | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: you could cron a job | 09:48 |
| miss_ubuntu | Blackshirt definition of best is : it should be as good as windows tool : Everything.exe | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | waltreed: why samba4? | 09:48 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: sure there is. | 09:48 |
| quixotedon | how to use aircrack-ng on 12.04? | 09:49 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionPtarsnip oh yes cron is always good , | 09:49 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: and I know what you mean, I just think it's an extremely annoying response. | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: for the individual, maybe. but an absolute best doesn't exist | 09:49 |
| PsykoMantis | dwnld backtrack lol | 09:49 |
| waltreed | Samba4 was all that was available and it's pre-alpha quality at best. I really want 3. | 09:49 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: normal people like miss_ubuntu don't want to hear that crap. | 09:49 |
| miss_ubuntu | ActionParsnip and fasta bundle of thnaks | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !info samba | waltreed | 09:49 |
| ubottu | waltreed: samba (source: samba): SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.1 (precise), package size 7812 kB, installed size 22371 kB | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: keep it family friendly please | 09:50 |
| dubey | any suggestion | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | quixotedon: I'd ask in the backtrack channel | 09:50 |
| waltreed | When I apt-cache search for samba, I don't see 3.6.3. Only the samba 4 packages. | 09:50 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: normal people and miss_ubuntu don't want to hear that feces. | 09:50 |
| robgraves | fasta: lol | 09:51 |
| miss_ubuntu | fasta and ActionParsnip ... comeon guys why are u fighting ? | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: there is no best, it doesn't exist | 09:51 |
| dontknow | what is the program remove command, equal to software center job? | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: it's like asking what the best browser is, there isn't one. You will only get opinions | 09:51 |
| iceroot | waltreed: even on 12.10 there is samba (3) in the repos | 09:51 |
| quixotedon | ActionParsnip: thanks dude, seems that everyone's taking the aircrack-ng issue up.. :) | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dontknow: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename | 09:51 |
| iceroot | waltreed: apt-cache show samba | 09:51 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: if people ask that question, yon, you have to understand why y are asking it. | 09:52 |
| miss_ubuntu | Question: ssh / proxy / socks tunneling practice . does one need more than one laptop for that? is there any free ssh accounts out there to practice online? | 09:52 |
| dontknow | ActionParsnip, this will do the same job what software center does? | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: Then present options and let them explore | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dontknow: yeah it will remove the package and residual configs | 09:52 |
| dontknow | ActionParsnip, thanks | 09:52 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: I did. You on the other hand started whining about theoretical things like defining best. | 09:53 |
| iceroot | fasta: #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:53 |
| miss_ubuntu | fasta ... what os do u use? | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dontknow: you can remove unneeded deps with: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove after if you desire | 09:53 |
| quixotedon | ActionParsnip: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/i386/aircrack-ng (it's deleted due to unmaintained status ??) | 09:53 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: I use multiple. | 09:53 |
| yalu | the user accounts module in system settings doens't allow to reset a user's password. how do you do this? (except for command line) | 09:54 |
| miss_ubuntu | fasta multiple on one latop ... do u use virtual machines? which software ? vmware? i try to use vmware on ubuntu for xp but its takes a lot of resources | 09:54 |
| dontknow | ActionParsnip, that command will remove all unnecessary dependencies? | 09:54 |
| miss_ubuntu | yalu why can't u use command line? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | dontknow: yes, if you remove packages and it makes others not be needed, the autoremove command will remove them, saves space | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: +1 | 09:55 |
| iceroot | yalu: sudo passwd username | 09:55 |
| Mikey^ | dontknow: also, you can purge the cofiguration files, though you wont save much space :) | 09:56 |
| miss_ubuntu | Question: is there any free ssh accounts out there to practice tunneling online? | 09:56 |
| fasta | miss_ubuntu: I don't dual on laptops and I don't virtualize on laptops either. | 09:56 |
| belgianguy | anyone else having issues with Flash in 12.04 | 09:56 |
| belgianguy | esp on YouTube | 09:56 |
| dubey | is it good to stop checkarray cron ? | 09:56 |
| fasta | belgianguy: yes | 09:56 |
| iceroot | !details | belgianguy | 09:56 |
| ubottu | belgianguy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:56 |
| fasta | belgianguy: I get smurfs instead of people. | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: tried virtualbox? | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | belgianguy: what issue do you get? | 09:57 |
| belgianguy | the video plays, but the marker of where the video is at that point in time does not update | 09:57 |
| miss_ubuntu | nops ActionParsnip is it better than vmware in terms of resource utiliztion? | 09:57 |
| dontknow | Mikey^, "sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename" this command doesn!t remove config files? if so what is the command for that? | 09:57 |
| belgianguy | unless I mouse over, it'll immedeatly update | 09:57 |
| belgianguy | same for the volume button | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: its different, try it | 09:58 |
| iceroot | dontknow: it is removing conffiles | 09:58 |
| Mikey^ | dontknow: sudo aptitude purge ~c | 09:58 |
| Mikey^ | dontknow: there are many commands to do that though.. | 09:58 |
| iceroot | dontknow: but "conffile" is a special term in debian packages and does not mean for example /home/username/.program/my.conf | 09:58 |
| belgianguy | I'm using chrome btw | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | miss_ubuntu: try setting fewer resources to the guest OS | 09:58 |
| miss_ubuntu | ACtionParsnip installing thanks | 09:58 |
| c0deMaster | how to permanently disable sound capturing? | 09:58 |
| iceroot | dontknow: a conffile must not be a text-file with configs | 09:58 |
| nawuko | heylukecarrier, some german here? i have a problem :D | 09:58 |
| fasta | I verified that .mp4 version of the file works. So, Youtube Flash version gives me blue people and Youtube Mp4 version with vlc works perfect. | 09:59 |

| dontknow | Blackshirt, Mikey^ but what file? | 10:25 |
| dontknow | i will give you example from arch | 10:25 |
| llutz | dontknow: there is no single file controlling this. look at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ to understand how upstart works | 10:25 |
| Blackshirt | Dontknow, okey | 10:26 |
| llutz | !upstart | dontknow | 10:26 |
| ubottu | dontknow: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 10:26 |
| dontknow | in arch, it is in /etc/rc.conf, in rc.conf there is a daemon section like this DAEMON=(dbus, ufw, network, ......) where is that file in ubuntu? | 10:26 |
| fasta | ItsMeLenny: where did you disable it exactly? | 10:26 |

| belgianguy | ActionParsnip: yes :) | 10:27 |
| llutz | Mikey^: its not runlevel based since upstart, its dependency driven | 10:27 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: wget downloads via http. You are testing wrong. | 10:28 |
| Mikey^ | llutz: yeah, true | 10:28 |
| llutz | !runlevel | 10:28 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | belgianguy: sweet, that gives 64bit flash for your 64bit OS :) | 10:28 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: use ftp for example or use some program designed to test network issues (don't know any of the top of my head, but they do exist) | 10:28 |
| ItsMeLenny | fasta, right click on the google video and go into "settings" | 10:28 |

| fasta | CaptObvious: perhaps all communication is slow. | 10:32 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: perhaps it's just your webserver. | 10:32 |
| CaptObvious | what's odd is local transfer is fine - just used iperf between 2 boxes on the local network and got 880mbit/s over gigabit | 10:33 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: in short, use the scientific method. | 10:33 |
| CaptObvious | *sigh* | 10:33 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: sigh what? | 10:33 |
| CaptObvious | I'm downloading the same file, from the same place with both boxes | 10:33 |

| ActionParsnip | Bender_: Maverick is EOL dude, there are no repos | 10:34 |
| CaptObvious | I don't control the webserver | 10:34 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: for someone named CaptObvious that shouldn't be so hard. | 10:34 |
| CaptObvious | linode does | 10:34 |
| zallx | maybe synaptic | 10:34 |
| CaptObvious | and the webserver is obviously fine if I can pull down 10MB/s from my windows machine | 10:34 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: ok, well, you didn't actually say that. | 10:34 |
| CaptObvious | I did, several times | 10:34 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: no, you didn't. | 10:35 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: it was ambiguous. | 10:35 |
| CaptObvious | which part are you referring to? | 10:35 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: anyway, it's now clear. | 10:35 |
| zallx | E: xbmc-live: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 | 10:35 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: wget by default tries to not attack a server either. | 10:35 |
| zallx | how to fix subprocesses | 10:35 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: so, perhaps it also does this for just a single download. | 10:35 |
| zallx | anyone ? | 10:36 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - I would assume google chrome tries not to attack a server either | 10:36 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: so, you could still try a different protocol. | 10:36 |
| CaptObvious | but okay | 10:36 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: i.e. try ftp. | 10:36 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: with e.g. filezilla. | 10:36 |
| Blackshirt | Zallk, purge first, and then try reinstall | 10:36 |
| CaptObvious | first I need to find a large file on an FTP server | 10:36 |

| ubottu | zallx: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:37 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: no, you just do cat /dev/urandom > mybigfile | 10:37 |

| CaptObvious | fasta - that would be at the wrong end | 10:37 |
| CaptObvious | I'm experiencing slow downloads | 10:37 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: no, it wouldn't. | 10:37 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you have to do that at the server of course. | 10:38 |
| zallx | BlackshirtBay whats the fastest way tobe watching tv on ur phone ? | 10:38 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you don't have shell access? | 10:38 |
| CaptObvious | my server is next to me | 10:38 |
| CaptObvious | it downloads slowly | 10:38 |
| CaptObvious | from the internet | 10:38 |
| zallx | and from lan ? | 10:38 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you said it was on linode. | 10:38 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you are really making no sense. | 10:38 |
| CaptObvious | no, linode host download speed files | 10:38 |
| CaptObvious | http://www.linode.com/speedtest/ | 10:38 |
| CaptObvious | zallx - iperf throughput is fine on LAN | 10:39 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: I will stop playing this guess the question game. Next time you just write a coherent story on e.g. a paste site and then provide an URL to that. | 10:39 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: likely nobody has understood what exactly you said. | 10:40 |

| CaptObvious | I did write a coherent story | 10:40 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: no, you didn't. | 10:41 |
| zallx | its oneiric ... i dont have that i think | 10:41 |
| CaptObvious | I fail to see how it wasn't, but anyway | 10:41 |
| quixotedon | matonka007: type your questions straight away.. :) | 10:41 |
| CaptObvious | ftp is downloading now, but it doesn't give a realtime output | 10:41 |
| CaptObvious | so I need to wait until the file is done | 10:41 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: do you hear 5 people say that it was easy to understand? | 10:41 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - I see people reading multiple stories at once and making assumptions | 10:42 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: no, you don't. As such, it wasn't a coherent story. | 10:42 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: yes, because there is no coherent story. | 10:42 |
| CaptObvious | I mentioned "linode" once and then someone assumed that I said that my server was a linode, which I never said | 10:42 |
| CaptObvious | anyway, jesus, I'm not here for an argument, I'm here to get my problem solved | 10:42 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: which is an intelligent response. | 10:42 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: because it assumes that the information which is not specified is the most likely. | 10:42 |
| matonka007 | I installed ubuntu 12.04 and after i have screen with,"out of range" and black screen with mouse, i cant do anything | 10:43 |
| CaptObvious | I mentioned linode directly after I said "I don't control the webserver" | 10:43 |
| LjL | fasta: yes, let's turn this place into a forum, with people pasting "stories" from URLs... no, that's not how it works ;) | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | matonka007: whay video chip do you use? | 10:43 |
| matonka007 | Nvidia | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | matonka007: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 10:43 |

| zallx | vdr: can't access video directory /var/lib/video.00 | 10:43 |
| CaptObvious | anyway, starting again: I'm experiencing slow download speeds (400KB/s) from the internet on an ubuntu server box, which a windows machine on the same network downloading the same file from the same place experiences over 10MB/s download speed. | 10:44 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - anything you'd like me to clarify there? | 10:44 |

| matonka007 | I cant edit the boot option, because it shows my bios logo and after the, "out of range" | 10:45 |
| celthunder | c0deMaster: remove your sound card | 10:45 |
| fasta | Example: I am doing a speedtest on url linode.com/dontcare on Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7. On Windows 7 I get 100MB/s when using IE.exe and on Linux I get 400KB/s. My hardware is a <whatever you just said> | 10:45 |
| CaptObvious | I've tried using iperf between 2 local machines and the throughput is fine, it's just out to the internet that it has an issue | 10:45 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - that's what I just said, yes | 10:45 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you should have said that the very first time. | 10:45 |
| CaptObvious | perhaps you need to write a web app with form fields and have people fill that out instead of conversing? | 10:45 |
| CaptObvious | you could call it a "forum" | 10:45 |
| CaptObvious | you'd lose the realtime aspect though, which would be a shame | 10:46 |
| unkn-error | I have installed ubuntu IN a usb stick, with ext4 but it's running so slowww, why? If I make the stick with unetbootlin it is faster altrought it is running under some kind of "transparent decompression (squasfs)"? Can be ubuntu installed IN the stick and be faster like it is if I when it live FROM usb? | 10:46 |
| CaptObvious | anyway, the FTP transfer is still going, on the windows machine it would have finished by now | 10:46 |
| celthunder | CaptObvious: id much rather be in irc than on a forum. | 10:46 |
| CaptObvious | celthunder - me too | 10:46 |
| matonka007 | What i must do to edit boot preferences? | 10:47 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: apt-get install bwm-ng && bwm-ng | 10:47 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: does it confirm the slow download speed? | 10:47 |
| LjL | CaptObvious: for what is worth, your question seemed pretty coherent to me, perhaps not completely comprehensive but that's what asking stuff is for. | 10:47 |
| CaptObvious | LjL - thank you | 10:47 |
| CaptObvious | ftp did 391.66KB/s | 10:48 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you should also look at top and report whether it uses all yoru CPU. | 10:48 |
| matonka007 | Sorry Im on android :-( | 10:49 |
| matonka007 | I have the broken ubuntu infront of me | 10:49 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you should also try to put another NIC in it if the CPU usage is low. | 10:49 |

| fasta | CaptObvious: and you had fast lan speeds also from the Linux machine? | 10:50 |
| CaptObvious | yeah, I ran iperf and got 880mbit/sec through gigE | 10:51 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: perhaps you have some bandwidth limiter running? | 10:51 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: it might be that you had forgotten about that. | 10:51 |
| CaptObvious | nope, I've just wiped the machine and put ubuntu on it this morning. it had windows 7 on it before and was fine | 10:51 |

| adil | thank you | 10:55 |
| CaptObvious | matonka007 - are you using an HDTV as a monitor for the machine? | 10:55 |
| CaptObvious | I ask because I am too and mine doesn't support whichever resolution is used between POST and the framebuffer kicking in | 10:56 |
| CaptObvious | so you may have to hook it up to a normal monitor to sort it out | 10:56 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you could try making a tunnel connection to your windows machine and internet via that. | 10:56 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: oh, sorry you didn't have two machines. | 10:57 |
| matonka007 | I have led LG 1920*1680 | 10:57 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - that'd defeat the object of this box. I might have to give up and just put windows back on it | 10:57 |
| CaptObvious | I do, I just have this microserver so my desktop doesn't have to be on all the time | 10:57 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: I meant just as a test; it sounds kind of ridiculous. | 10:57 |
| matonka007 | Now i see the login screen with my name | 10:57 |
| CaptObvious | that's good then matonka007 | 10:57 |
| CaptObvious | it sounds like your TV doesn't support the resolution that it's using for the console | 10:58 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - my other machine is a windows machine so it'll take a bit of fudging to get an SSH tunnel through to it | 10:58 |
| CaptObvious | something to try after I've slept I think | 10:58 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: otherwise I am out of ideas. If your LAN works, then your Internet should also work at that speed. | 10:58 |
| CaptObvious | hmm | 10:58 |
| matonka007 | What I must do now? When i login it shows the black screen again | 10:58 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: I know one other test. | 10:59 |
| CaptObvious | matonka007 - plug it into a proper monitor | 10:59 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you could start multiple speed tests at the same time. | 10:59 |
| CaptObvious | in /etc/network/interfaces I have it set as static, what's the "network" parameter for? I have it set to 10.0.0.0 | 10:59 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - ah, to see if it's a per-connection issue? | 10:59 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: ok, it might be another thing. | 10:59 |
| matonka007 | Im now logged in into the Ubuntu 2D :-) | 10:59 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you should set your IP address manually to the right address. | 10:59 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: or set it via DHCP. | 11:00 |
| CaptObvious | it is set to the right address | 11:00 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: if you set it to the same address as your windows machine, you get a nightmware. | 11:00 |
| matonka007 | I must install the drivers? | 11:00 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: which address is it? | 11:00 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: and which address does your windows machine have? | 11:00 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: if you think 'dude, I really know that', just say that. | 11:00 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: otherwise go with the parallel speed test. | 11:01 |
| CaptObvious | the microserver is 10.0.0.3, static | 11:01 |
| CaptObvious | the desktop is 82.18.59.209 DHCP | 11:01 |
| CaptObvious | DHCP range is 100-199 | 11:01 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: huh | 11:01 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: then they are not on the same lan. | 11:01 |
| matonka007 | The Nvidia drivers is already instaled, where is the problem? | 11:01 |
| CaptObvious | yeah they are, same subnet | 11:01 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: 82.18 is your external IP | 11:02 |
| CaptObvious | okay, I'm getting 1-2MB/s running 2 in parallel | 11:02 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: the Windows machine must also have an address like 10.0.0.X. | 11:02 |
| CaptObvious | it is | 11:02 |
| CaptObvious | 82.18.59.209 | 11:02 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: no. | 11:02 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: that's your external address. | 11:02 |
| CaptObvious | no, that's my internal address | 11:02 |
| CaptObvious | my external IP is 82.18.... | 11:03 |
| LjL | CaptObvious: err, that's what you pasted | 11:03 |
| CaptObvious | LjL - huh? | 11:03 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: coherent story... please | 11:03 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - I don't think your questions make sense | 11:03 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: 82.* is not an internal address. | 11:03 |
| CaptObvious | <fasta> CaptObvious: and which address does your windows machine have? | 11:03 |
| LjL | CaptObvious: you pasted 82.18.59.209, which really looks like an external address, and you just confirmed it | 11:03 |
| CaptObvious | did you mean internal or external? | 11:03 |
| CaptObvious | I didn't paste anything | 11:04 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: 10.* looks like an internal address. | 11:04 |
| CaptObvious | it *is* | 11:04 |
| CaptObvious | right, stop | 11:04 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: 82.* is NOT | 11:04 |
| CaptObvious | I know this | 11:04 |
| CaptObvious | just stop | 11:04 |
| CaptObvious | you asked: <fasta> CaptObvious: and which address does your windows machine have? | 11:04 |

| fasta | CaptObvious: no, I was not. | 11:06 |
| CaptObvious | one second | 11:06 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: I wrote the literal string 82.* first. | 11:06 |
| CaptObvious | yes, one second | 11:06 |

| CaptObvious | LjL - what IP do you see here? 82.18.59.209 | 11:16 |
| crazypete | I'm writing oldfashion c | 11:16 |
| LjL | CaptObvious: 82.18.59.209 | 11:16 |
| fasta | crazypete: for C, you can better get some real IDE. | 11:16 |
| LjL | CaptObvious: are you using a bouncer (irc proxy) by any chance? | 11:16 |
| CaptObvious | nope, but mIRC might auto-translate it | 11:16 |
| CaptObvious | LjL - http://i.imgur.com/Y7I98.png | 11:16 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: also friends don't let other friends use mIRC. | 11:16 |
| LjL | CaptObvious: would be weird, but i guess it's possible | 11:16 |
| matanya_ | how can I make outgoing calls using empathy on ubuntu with my own sip server?incoming calls work well | 11:17 |
| CaptObvious | fasta - after how you've treated me today I wouldn't really call you a friend | 11:17 |
| crazypete | emacs is even worse. now I need to remove both its clutter and the clutter of lxterm | 11:17 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: uhm, I put more time in you than anyone else here. | 11:17 |
| CaptObvious | you spent a lot of it berating me for something I had no control over | 11:17 |
| CaptObvious | but yeah | 11:17 |
| fasta | crazypete: Emacs is not worse. | 11:17 |
| fasta | crazypete: you just don't want to learn how it works. | 11:18 |
| fasta | crazypete: which is OK, but Emacs is a GREAT editor. | 11:18 |
| chu | crazypete: If you're willing to give it some time, I could PM you how to use it. | 11:18 |
| fasta | crazypete: in #emacs they want to answer your questions. | 11:18 |
| lJ6il | Hello there. I'm under Ubuntu and i installed vim-scripts package. I'd like to activate supertab plugin. How can i do this? Adding a line in .vimrc ? | 11:19 |
| fasta | crazypete: but you should do C-h t first, I think. | 11:19 |
| fasta | crazypete: that starts the basic tutorial. | 11:19 |
| LjL | CaptObvious: i don't have a Windows machine handy to test this on. a cursory Google search of "mIRC translate internal IP" didn't show much. if i were you, i'd test this with another client, i don't like the looks of this | 11:19 |
| CaptObvious | LjL - yeah, I was googling it too | 11:20 |
| CaptObvious | I also asked in dalnet #mirc | 11:20 |
| CaptObvious | but that's a *stupid* feature if it is one | 11:20 |
| LjL | agreed | 11:20 |
| CaptObvious | but to be honest, I'm hoping it is an mIRC feature | 11:20 |
| LjL | CaptObvious: it might be done to facilitate DCC transfers, but i don't see why it would happen outside of one | 11:20 |
| CaptObvious | if it's not mIRC doing it then I have bigger issues :P | 11:20 |

| ActionParsnip | CaptObvious: do native apps work ok? | 11:21 |
| CaptObvious | ActionParsnip - sorry? | 11:21 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip, he's on Windows. he was asking about something else, then he experienced something strange | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | CaptObvious: mirc is a windows irc client...do the irc clients available in the software centre ok, like xchat, pidgin etc | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: windows? shouldn't that be in ##windows ... | 11:22 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: namely when he pastes his internal IP in here, the external one shows up instead | 11:22 |
| CaptObvious | ActionParsnip - I'm in here for a different issue | 11:22 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: that wasn't his original question. we got sidetracked by this strange occurrence. | 11:23 |
| CaptObvious | this one just cropped up in the mean time | 11:23 |
| CaptObvious | anyway, back to my original issue - concurrent downloads seem to get 400-700KB/s each | 11:23 |
| CaptObvious | which is odd, it seems to be a limit per connection | 11:23 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: so, now don't use wget, but use something else. | 11:23 |
| CaptObvious | I tried with ftp too, same deal | 11:23 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: e.g. curl or an actual browser. | 11:24 |
| CaptObvious | from a different server | 11:24 |
| CaptObvious | well, as far as an actual browser goes, I have lynx I suppose :P | 11:24 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you could also get rid of the router in between, btw. | 11:25 |
| CaptObvious | if the router was the issue, the windows box would be suffering too | 11:25 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: I know what you said before and still it could be the issue. | 11:25 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: you only know for 99.8% sure that it's not that. | 11:25 |
| fasta | CaptObvious: not 100%. | 11:25 |
| fasta | Statistics made up, as usual. | 11:26 |
| CaptObvious | lynx is doing 470KB/s | 11:26 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: what network card is in your linux machine ? | 11:26 |
| fasta | ikonia: read the backlog | 11:27 |
| CaptObvious | broadcom BCM5723 | 11:27 |
| mosno | um, how do i delete a launcher from the gnome classic panel? | 11:27 |
| CaptObvious | there's a lot of backlog, most of it not relavent | 11:27 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: have you considered that the kernel module for the BCM card is just "weak" as it's reverse engineered ? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | (in comparison to the Windows native driver) | 11:27 |
| CaptObvious | ikonia - I did think that, but I tried l | 11:28 |
| CaptObvious | iperf* | 11:28 |
| CaptObvious | between 2 machines on the lan, it puts 880mbit/s through | 11:28 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: so on your lan you get solid performance ? | 11:28 |
| CaptObvious | it seems so, I don't have samba or anything set up yet, it's a clean install | 11:28 |
| CaptObvious | just throwing up IIS now so I can try an HTTP transfer | 11:29 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: so you only experience a weaker performance with requests out onto the public internet | 11:29 |
| CaptObvious | it appears so at the moment | 11:29 |
| D[4]ni | when i try to load the equalizer plugin for rhythmbox, it tells me this: http://pastebin.com/y4BqVQFB | 11:29 |
| D[4]ni | how to fix that? :< | 11:30 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: just thinking, I'll be with you in a moment or two | 11:31 |
| CaptObvious | yep, LAN HTTP transfer is putting through 21MB/s | 11:31 |
| CaptObvious | which is slower than I'd like, but I can live with that | 11:31 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: curious test, do a traceroute to goolge.com or something like that, is there one hop that is obviously slower/where slow down begins | 11:32 |
| D[4]ni | meh. "ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for GConf" seems to be a common error | 11:33 |
| zallx | how do i add ? ppa:hotzenplotz5/ppa ? | 11:33 |
| CaptObvious | does wget save to a temporary location before moving the completed file to the location you specified to the download or does it just write straight to the destination file? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: think it writes to $cwd/$name.tmp than commits to $cwd/$name | 11:33 |
| zallx | CaptObvious: in first execution cycle everything gets writing and send | 11:33 |
| CaptObvious | right, because I'm saving to /dev/null, so disk speed won't be a factor | 11:34 |
| zallx | how do i add ? ppa:hotzenplotz5/ppa ? | 11:34 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: try the traceroute test, I'm curious to if there is anything obvious | 11:34 |
| D[4]ni | zallx, apt-add-repository | 11:35 |
| CaptObvious | zalbisser - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hotzenplotz5 | 11:35 |
| CaptObvious | ikonia - nothing unusual on the traceroute | 11:35 |
| zvacet | zallx: see http://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/how-to-add-a-ppa-to-ubuntu | 11:35 |
| zallx | nothing but the fact they changed utp with modcable ... nomore own router incoming call divertions | 11:35 |

| zallx | but cant seem to add that what they say in that link | 11:38 |
| CaptObvious | I've got it up to around about 1MB/s by dropping the txqueuelen to 0 | 11:38 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: so is performance poor from hop one i na traceroute | 11:38 |
| CaptObvious | ikonia - nope, all hops are fine | 11:39 |
| === Guest81172 is now known as iamzim | ||
| zallx | token ring | 11:39 |
| ikonia | CaptObvious: ok, so performance in the routing to destination is good, just the actual data transfer is poor, correct | 11:39 |
| CaptObvious | correct | 11:39 |
| ikonia | interesting | 11:39 |
| CaptObvious | it bursts at about 1MB/s, then drops down slowly and hovers at 500kb/s or so | 11:39 |
| zvacet | zallx: did you tried with adding line in source list replace karmic with oneiric | 11:40 |

| MaxDeMoN | good morning i'm a beginner in ubuntu and need a simple and easy why to install postfix server i have noip domain :) | 11:41 |
| mosno | why can't i see gnote or rhythmbox in my GNOME Classic notifcation area? | 11:41 |
| ikonia | MaxDeMoN: open the package manager, search for postfix, click install | 11:41 |
| SolarisBoy | are you going to use it locally MaxDeMoN ? installing it easy | 11:41 |
| shawny78 | Anyone here setup an SSH 'VPN' Tunnel? I can get to the point where I can reach my SSH servers IPs but I can't reach the routers that are connected to it | 11:41 |
| SolarisBoy | simply apt-get install it, or whatever is comfortable | 11:41 |
| zallx | k thkx zvacet | 11:42 |
| MaxDeMoN | SolarisBoy, locally and i wanna receive email from external providers too :) thanx | 11:42 |
| zallx | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hotzenplotz5/ppa | 11:42 |
| SolarisBoy | shawny78: you mean a tunnel? ssh -L port:<ip>:port user@host | 11:42 |
| MaxDeMoN | SolarisBoy, i have a domain name from noip free and i can set MX line on it | 11:43 |
| SolarisBoy | MaxDeMoN hmm - ISPs generally block port 25 - but ok | 11:43 |
| SolarisBoy | MaxDeMoN: ahh ok - so your setup to receive you saying? | 11:43 |
| shawny78 | Solaris: that is it. only the how-to I was following was saying use ssh -w 0:0 user@host | 11:43 |
| deejay31 | Oh yes, I finished migrating my stuff from centos to ubuntu | 11:43 |
| dontknow | using ati mobility hd2400 with official ati driver, it gives poor video quality, i mean videos hang, with open source driver i had no problem. i tried every output it just hang out | 11:43 |
| MaxDeMoN | SolarisBoy, yes i wanna receive my email in something like that xxx@host.noip.org ... ! | 11:44 |
| razvan86 | hi... does ubuntu have support for digital pens ? | 11:44 |
| dontknow | do you have suggestions for me? | 11:44 |
| SolarisBoy | well if they aren't blocking and that IP postfix is running is available to the net directly or via translation | 11:44 |
| MaxDeMoN | SolarisBoy, or i must buy a domain? | 11:44 |
| SolarisBoy | then it should work | 11:44 |
| SolarisBoy | if you have a domain - you need an MX | 11:44 |
| SolarisBoy | and that MX should point to your "postfix" if thats what you want handling mail for your domain | 11:45 |
| MaxDeMoN | SolarisBoy, yes i have noip domain and i can set MX line | 11:45 |
| CaptObvious | you could just go the easy route, buy a cheap domain and use google apps :P | 11:45 |
| SolarisBoy | yea thats way easier | 11:45 |
| SolarisBoy | heh | 11:45 |
| MaxDeMoN | you have a link for that ? pls : | 11:45 |
| CaptObvious | I'm sure you can find google apps through google | 11:45 |
| SolarisBoy | MaxDeMoN: just register your domain with google apps or if you have one already subscribe to google apps | 11:45 |
| SolarisBoy | its automagic | 11:45 |
| SolarisBoy | once its verified the mail works - you just need to create users at your domain | 11:46 |
| MaxDeMoN | goople apps? | 11:46 |
| SolarisBoy | shawn78 needs more info on your goal | 11:46 |
| CaptObvious | then you don't need to run your own mail server or worry about your residential internet connection going down | 11:46 |
| MaxDeMoN | sorry but i dont understand think i just need to install postfix and configurate | 11:46 |
| SolarisBoy | mean while im going to look at the manpage as im not familiar with -w 0:0 | 11:46 |
| D[4]ni | meh. can't find a working equalizer for rhythmbox. one fail to load, one doesn't even show up in the plugins list | 11:46 |
| scottj | what is the name of the feature that lets you navigate and run comands in the menus by typing the names of the entries? | 11:47 |
| shawny78 | Here is the link I was following ---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN | 11:47 |

| === matanya_ is now known as matanya | ||
| gwd_ | Please help me. I'm using fresh installed 12.04 but, no sound. It shows "dummy output" in sound config. | 11:49 |
| SolarisBoy | excuse thats incorrect - two seperate machines with a tunnel interface? shawny78 | 11:49 |
| shawny78 | The tunnel interface sets up fine. I can ping both via internal IPs, I just can't reach out past the ssh server | 11:49 |
| SolarisBoy | ok | 11:50 |
| shawny78 | ... I guess 'both' in this case is the ssh client and ssh server. | 11:51 |
| SolarisBoy | shawny78: you are using -w 0:0 have you tried any:any ? The devices may be specified by numerical ID or the keyword “any” | 11:51 |
| MaxDeMoN | SolarisBoy, google apps is not free :P me im searching to get it for free :D postfix | 11:51 |
| gwd_ | Someone... help me please. I can't hear sound from 12.04. | 11:51 |

| mosno | ps. audio is hillarious... i do Switch User and sound stops, then i login on tty1 and it starts again | 12:15 |
| mosno | ie. text login | 12:15 |
| auronandace | gwd_: a few things are muted there, not sure if they affect what you are trying to do | 12:16 |
| atlee | sound and graphics, wireless are all very hardware-to-hardware basis on if it works or if it doesn't and it also comes down to if the hardware is built into the kernel or not | 12:16 |
| gwd_ | auronandace: How can I unmute them? | 12:17 |
| auronandace | gwd_: select them and press m | 12:17 |
| auronandace | gwd_: see the MM? that means muted | 12:17 |
| gwd_ | Yes auronandace .. But, when I press M on them .. it just changed to "00" and can't go up the level. | 12:18 |
| TangoGold | http://www.sexy-natalie.com/?uid=69367 your welcome lol | 12:19 |
| auronandace | gwd_: when they change to 00 that means they are active | 12:19 |
| gwd_ | How can I change the level when they are active, auronandace ... I can't press up arrow to change the level. | 12:20 |
| auronandace | gwd_: does the bar go up or down? | 12:20 |
| gwd_ | auronandace: I can't up the bar. | 12:21 |
| gwd_ | There is no bar on them at all. Just change to "00", auronandace | 12:21 |
| auronandace | gwd_: some of them have bars, some of them don't need bars | 12:22 |
| gwd_ | okay .. I have activated all of them (changed them "00") ... but, still no sound, auronandace . | 12:23 |
| auronandace | gwd_: not sure what to suggest sorry | 12:24 |

| g0th | hi | 12:36 |
| eXtense | hi, maybe you can help me. Since about a month I get some errors while checking for updates. You can see the message here: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/408412/ maybe you could help me fixing this issue? | 12:36 |
| g0th | when I try to upgrade ubuntu to 12.04 it doesn't do anything | 12:37 |
| g0th | it is downloading 2 files but doesn't proceed with the upgrade | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | !natty | eXtense | 12:37 |
| ubottu | eXtense: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 | 12:37 |
| samba35 | ok so i am not only one who face this problem | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | id say switch servers.. natty is not eol yet i think | 12:37 |
| g0th | This usually is caused by a system where /tmp is mounted noexec. Please remount without noexec and run the upgrade again. | 12:38 |
| g0th | why is exec needed for tmp? | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | to run the executable update tools... | 12:38 |
| g0th | for me noexec seems to make sense | 12:38 |
| g0th | on /tmp | 12:38 |
| g0th | anyway, I never changed it | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | see wht mount command says about it. | 12:38 |
| g0th | why would you want to execute anything from /tmp? | 12:39 |
| eXtense | i already wondered about the "natty" in the link. but I don't know why these servers are in my repositorys? i added nothing and they seem to be unreachable since over one month. how can i delete them? | 12:39 |
| CaptObvious | they really need to add parallel fetching of packages to apt | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | the installer update tool downloads the updated executables to tmp and runs them from there.. is how i would guess its working | 12:39 |
| g0th | ok | 12:39 |
| g0th | how do I remount without noexec? | 12:39 |
| Colonel-Rosa | This has probably been said, but the release.ubuntu domain is very slow over in England | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | check your fstab entry for tmp and see what options its using | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | most people dont use a seperate /tmp | 12:40 |
| g0th | ok I did mount -o remount exec /tmp | 12:40 |
| g0th | was that ok? | 12:40 |
| Colonel-Rosa | 40KiB/s | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | check mount command and see how its mounted then | 12:40 |
| CaptObvious | Dr_Willis - I use tempfs for /tmp | 12:40 |
| futurist | #arduino | 12:40 |
| g0th | I use tmpfs | 12:41 |
| g0th | well not me but the installer | 12:41 |
| g0th | I never touched any of those settings | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | disable the use of tmpfs then perhaps. | 12:41 |
| SilverStar_ | Is possible to attach the VHD file in Ubuntu as normal HDD (like windows 7) ?? | 12:41 |
| g0th | I just removed the noexec from fstab | 12:41 |
| g0th | and to get it running now (without reboot) I did mount -o remount exec /tmp | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | SilverStar_: i think theres vhd to raw converteres. | 12:41 |
| CaptObvious | SilverStar_ - for the millionth time, it's the first hit on google if you google "mount vhd ubuntu" | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !info vdfuse | 12:43 |
| ubottu | Package vdfuse does not exist in precise | 12:43 |

| Dr_Willis | !find vdfuse | 12:43 |
| ubottu | File vdfuse found in virtualbox-dbg, virtualbox-fuse | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | vhd can work with vdfuse or so i just read. | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | from man vdfuse --> -t specify type (VDI, VMDK, VHD, or raw; default: auto) | 12:44 |
| SilverStar_ | O,, thanks :) | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/vdfuse.1.html | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | You can use vmware-mount provided by VMWare Server. | 12:45 |

| Dr_Willis | lets see.. | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !java | 13:13 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Install the openjdk-6-jre package using any installation method. | 13:13 |

| Dr_Willis | rss = a news feed. rmms is a audio/video stream - i think. i may be backwards | 13:32 |

| Dr_Willis | dontknow: ubuntu only does security updates to their official repos | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | rarely version # updates | 13:35 |
| iceroot | evilgeenius: if i am correct there is something like /etc/init.d/vbox-setup | 13:35 |
| iceroot | evilgeenius: maybe that can help | 13:35 |
| evilgeenius | iceroot: yes, that is where I see the error message | 13:36 |

| dontknow | Dr_Willis, it is not including chromium? | 13:36 |
| xtu | oh, and Dr_Willis , I am not a America, and I want to improve my english, so I want to listen the VOA podcast or rss thing. but I don't know what to do? | 13:36 |
| e_t_ | duobix: RPM packages are for Red Hat and similar systems, not for Debian-derivatives like Ubuntu. You might have some luck using 'alien' but it's not guaranteed. | 13:36 |
| evilgeenius | iceroot: Virtualbox must be getting 3.2.0.23 from somewhere. | 13:36 |
| iceroot | evilgeenius: are you bootet in the .23 kernel maybe? but have the headers installed for .24? | 13:36 |
| iceroot | evilgeenius: maybe that script is parsing the output of uname | 13:36 |
| duobix | e_t_ thank you. | 13:37 |
| compdoc | dontknow, I cannot see an option to update chrome | 13:37 |
| evilgeenius | iceroot: yes, uname shows 3.2.0-23-generic | 13:37 |
| iceroot | evilgeenius: install the .24 kernel, reboot the system | 13:37 |
| duobix | Anyway, I'd love to see a non-terminal installer for tar.gz files | 13:37 |

| dontknow | Dr_Willis, ok thanks | 13:38 |
| iceroot | crazypete: command line editor for example | 13:39 |
| chu | crazypete: You're basically limited to the ones iceroot mentioned. | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | crazypete: go learn vi. :) its worth learning | 13:39 |
| iceroot | crazypete: yes, use vim (not vi) its a real good editor | 13:39 |
| crazypete | iceroot, those are line-editors. I want proper text-editor for cli. Somebody must have written something like gedit for cli, if only as a proof of concept. | 13:39 |
| iceroot | crazypete: i told you 4 | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | crazypete: thers dozens of text editors for the cli. | 13:40 |
| angel282 | Hello, Can someone recommend me on good server management panel such cpanel etc.. ?(which easy to install)? | 13:40 |
| iceroot | crazypete: vim is like gedit but much much much much more powerfull | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | crazypete: on a 'rescue' system - often you will be stuck with vi and nano. so those 2 are wrorth learning. | 13:40 |
| iceroot | crazypete: sudo apt-get install vim, then use the command "vimtutor" | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | fte is a very impressive text editor for the console also. but its not commonly used. | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !info fte | 13:41 |
| ubottu | fte (source: fte): Text editor for programmers - base package. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.50.2b6-1 (precise), package size 87 kB, installed size 323 kB | 13:41 |
| crazypete | Dr_Willis, how do a search for these dozens of such editors. what is the common name for them? | 13:41 |
| iceroot | crazypete: i told you that too | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | crazypete: apt-get basics... 'apt-cache search PATTERNNAME' | 13:41 |
| iceroot | crazypete: command line editor | 13:41 |
| iceroot | crazypete: but trust me if you want a real editor on the shell with some advanced features there are only vim and emacs | 13:42 |
| Volkan-K | hi | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | crazypete: nano for me :) | 13:43 |
| crazypete | I search for command line editors and I find those mentioned here. I don't want to offend anyone, but they're crap. I am looking for something simple and usefull. | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | i find nano just annoying | 13:43 |
| iceroot | crazypete: nano and joe if you want something simple | 13:43 |
| crazypete | nano is better, but copy select... | 13:43 |
| Volkan-K | they gave me this url for downloading ubuntu : http://tinyurl.com/cccrkq9 but I can't download. can you help? | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | crazypete: they are not crap. if you want simple. go with nano. | 13:43 |
| iceroot | crazypete: and of course vim is not crap its just not what you are looking for | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | crazypete: tried nano, simple yet effective. None of the flashy stuff, just a straight editor | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | try fte - you may like it, | 13:44 |
| angel282 | Can someone recommend me on a free good server/system administration panel? someone told me webmin is good? any recommendations? | 13:44 |
| iceroot | angel282: ssh | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | angel282: for get you ever heard about webmin | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !ebox | 13:44 |
| ubottu | zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 13:44 |
| iceroot | !webmin | angel282 | 13:44 |
| ubottu | angel282: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | don't use webmin | 13:44 |
| angel282 | ActionParsnip: ok, so which admin panel you are recommend to use? | 13:45 |
| Volkan-K | thats becaus Debian sux | 13:45 |
| Volkan-K | use CentOS | 13:45 |
| iceroot | Volkan-K: stop it | 13:45 |
| Volkan-K | why would i stop. thats the truth | 13:46 |
| iceroot | Volkan-K: its offtopic here | 13:46 |
| iceroot | Volkan-K: this is not #debian and not #centos | 13:46 |
| compdoc | has anyone heard news about why the ubuntu mirrors are so slow? | 13:47 |
| iceroot | Volkan-K: and if the user is not able to admin a system with the normal tools and need a webgui for it i am not sure if the os is the reason for sucking | 13:47 |
| compdoc | cant upgrade my server | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | compdoc: not seen any news on it.. | 13:47 |
| gccster | guys i have ubuntu 12.04 on intel i5 laptop hibernate/suspend not working what can i do? | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | compdoc: been show for 4 days here | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | slow | 13:47 |
| compdoc | sounds the same for me | 13:47 |
| angel282 | ActionParsnip: so which admin panel can be used instead of webmin? | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | !ebox | angel282 said this earlier | 13:48 |
| ubottu | angel282 said this earlier: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | 'best' is to learn to use ssh. ;P | 13:49 |
| Volkan-K | ubuntu is debian based | 13:50 |
| Volkan-K | and is not stable | 13:50 |
| Volkan-K | here is the proof: http://digitaloffense.net/tools/debian-openssl/ | 13:50 |
| iceroot | Volkan-K: you have a support question? | 13:50 |
| Volkan-K | iceroot: fuck you! | 13:50 |
| iceroot | Volkan-K: cu :) | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | pointless comments are pointless. | 13:51 |
| sirriffsalot | Hey! Is there any database for ubuntu users on getting the right nvidia drivers installed? | 13:53 |
| chabicobi | my USB 3G CDMA not working in edubuntu 12.04 who can help me? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | sirriffsalot: the hardware drivers tool should offer the most compatible version for you | 13:53 |
| Dr_Willis | sirriffsalot: i thought nvidia-current sort of scanned and installed what it thought was needed. | 13:53 |
| sirriffsalot | I've had some uncomfortable experience in 11.10 doing that though... | 13:53 |
| enbez | Does anyone know of a free server that allows you to run programs on it? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | sirriffsalot: your card may not actually have good support | 13:54 |
| sirriffsalot | I couldn't login after installing an nvidia driver... | 13:54 |
| ikonia | enbez: please don't ask in here - this is ubuntu support | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | sirriffsalot: detailas as to what happens exactly is more helpfull | 13:54 |
| enbez | ok, sorry. Do you know a channel where i can ask? | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | angel282: I suggest you learn to manage the system with CLI, your skills will be transferrable to other distros and the system will be more secure. | 13:54 |
| votproductions | Wait what? | 13:54 |
| sirriffsalot | Well, it was a dream studio distribution, so could have been that. Now I'm on a straight Ubuntu 12.04 | 13:54 |
| sirriffsalot | How do I check what nvidia cards I have? | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | sirriffsalot: sudo lshw -C display | 13:55 |
| amaurea | Hi! My repositories contain the package libportaudio2, but not a corresponding -dev package. Isn't there usually a -dev version for every package? | 13:55 |
| sirriffsalot | ActionParsnip: what should I be looking for?? | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | sirriffsalot: the product line(s) | 13:55 |
| Dr_Willis | says 'vga' on a line sirriffsalot | 13:55 |
| chabicobi | La nouvelle version de ubuntu ma clé internet n'est pas détecté aidez moi | 13:56 |
| sirriffsalot | Oddly enough I have two *display lines... haha | 13:56 |
| sirriffsalot | product: G98 [GeForce G 100] and product: G98 [GeForce G 100] | 13:56 |
| sirriffsalot | How do I check which one is being used? Haha | 13:56 |
| Thiagovfar | On Ubuntu, ~/bin is automatically added to the PATH variable. Question is: Where is that? I've looked into .bashrc, /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/profile. Couldn't find it. | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | sirriffsalot: nvidia-settings has a button to identify displays | 13:56 |
| Muelli | !fr | chabicobi | 13:56 |
| ubottu | chabicobi: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Thiagovfar: /etc/environment maybe.. | 13:57 |
| sirriffsalot | ActionParsnip: alright, installing that | 13:57 |
| sirriffsalot | By the way, is there some software/command that removes repositories that I no longer use? | 13:57 |
| sirriffsalot | That has no software installed requiring them | 13:57 |
| Thiagovfar | ActionParsnip: Nope. | 13:58 |
| magic_al | i have a picture on the top of my website. this picture is supposed to change depending on the content. more in detail the content is organized within a hierarchical menu. the top level of this menu consists of 6 links. for every of those 6 links i have a certain picture. how can i get the highest link parent of a content-typ in order to fit the picture according to that? | 13:58 |
| sirriffsalot | Hmm "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver." | 13:58 |
| Thiagovfar | ActionParsnip: What bugs me is that it seems to be default behaviour for ubuntu, yet I can't find it. | 13:58 |
| mneptok | Thiagovfar: ~/.profile ? | 13:58 |
| chabicobi | Mon USB 3G 1x CDMA ne marche pas avec Ubuntu 12.04 | 13:58 |
| mneptok | chabicobi: Angaloseulement en cette canale, SVP | 13:59 |
| mneptok | chabicobi: "Anglais seulement" | 13:59 |
| sirriffsalot | "Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." | 13:59 |
| sirriffsalot | How do I restart the X server? | 13:59 |
| Dr_Willis | $ grep PATH .* | 13:59 |
| Dr_Willis | shows it in .profile ;) | 14:00 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: ALT+PrntScrn+K | 14:00 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: Thanks:) Hang on | 14:00 |
| monohedron | hi I install 12.04 lts 64bit plus gnome. in gnome classic every window I open ends up partially hidden by the upper panel. can someone let me now how to prevent that? | 14:00 |
| Thiagovfar | mneptok: yep, found it on ~/.profile | 14:00 |
| * Dr_Willis cant imagine why that default behaivor would be annoying. | 14:00 | |
| angel282 | ActionParsnip: Zentyal is seems hard to install any alternative admin panel which more easy to install? | 14:01 |
| chabicobi | my internet key USB 3G 1x CDMA not working in Ubuntu 12.04 | 14:01 |
| sirriffsalot | sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 14:01 |
| Muelli | chabicobi: how do you know it's not working? | 14:01 |
| Thiagovfar | Dr_Willis: It's not annoying. I just want to copy it over on Gentoo =) | 14:01 |
| mneptok | Thiagovfar: .profile is not shell specific. so if you switch to zsh or tcsh, /bin will stll be in the $PATH | 14:01 |
| chabicobi | I think it is not detect | 14:02 |
| Thiagovfar | mneptok: good to know | 14:02 |
| Dr_Willis | sirriffsalot: the x gui to nvidia is 'nvidia-settings' | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | angel282: what do you need the admin panel to achieve? | 14:02 |
| sirriffsalot | Dr_Willis: Yes, I get it open, but tells me "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. " | 14:03 |
| mneptok | chabicobi: pastebin the outout of "sudo lsusb -vv" | 14:03 |
| angel282 | ActionParsnip: to manage the domains (adding new domains to the server), ftp accounts and bandwidth control | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | sirriffsalot: so... you are not using the nvidia drivers. | 14:03 |
| sirriffsalot | Dr_Willis: "Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | sirriffsalot: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig then | 14:03 |
| sirriffsalot | ActionParsnip: I did | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | nvidia-xconfig is a cli tool to tweak the xorg.conf | 14:03 |
| sirriffsalot | Then it tells me there is no such command | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ive rarely needed to run nvidia-xconfig | 14:04 |
| Dr_Willis | $ which nvidia-xconfig | 14:04 |
| Dr_Willis | /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig | 14:04 |
| Dr_Willis | !find nvidia-xconfig | 14:04 |
| ubottu | File nvidia-xconfig found in nvidia-173, nvidia-173-updates, nvidia-96, nvidia-96-updates, nvidia-current, nvidia-current-updates | 14:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !info cpanel | 14:04 |
| ubottu | Package cpanel does not exist in precise | 14:04 |
| sirriffsalot | No such file or directory... lol | 14:04 |
| Dr_Willis | its part of the nvidia drivers.. how did you install your nvidia drivers sirriffsalot ? | 14:05 |
| sirriffsalot | In my system settings details it says I have this driver: Gallium 0.4 on NV98 | 14:05 |
| sirriffsalot | Dr_Willis: Well, I haven't... as I asked in the beginning, I wondered if there is a sound database webpage for getting the right driver installed | 14:05 |
| sirriffsalot | But I suppose this is an even more effective database! | 14:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Driver: GeForce GT 530/PCIe/SSE2 | 14:06 |
| sirriffsalot | Dr_Willis: ? | 14:06 |
| D[4]ni | also, is there a way to change the order of the window buttons in the maximized state? | 14:06 |
| Dr_Willis | all i did on this box was 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' and then rebooted | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | angel282: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_hosting_control_panels | 14:06 |
| sirriffsalot | Dr_Willis: Hmm, well I guess I'll try that:) Brb | 14:06 |
| D[4]ni | i don't like close-minimize-maximize, i'd rather have close-maximize-minimize | 14:07 |
| Dr_Willis | sirriffsalot: thats all ive ever needed to do for like all 10 of my nvidia machines.. ;) | 14:07 |
| Dr_Willis | D[4]ni: at one time Ubuntu-tweak let you reorder them | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | D[4]ni: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 14:07 |
| D[4]ni | i'm on precise | 14:07 |
| chabicobi | and me i am in edubuntu precise | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | D[4]ni: do you still want them on the left? | 14:08 |
| chabicobi | sorry help me | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | chabicobi: and the problem is | 14:09 |
| D[4]ni | i know it's possible for the normal state with gconf-editor, but there doesn't seem to be a setting for the maximized state | 14:09 |
| D[4]ni | for maximized windows, they should be on the left, yes | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | the title/controls get hidden when maxamized. so it would be settings in the panel thing i belive. cant say ive ever noticed them getting reordered. let me see if ubuntu-tweak does it | 14:10 |
| Muelli | !details | chabicobi | 14:10 |
| ubottu | chabicobi: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | D[4]ni: i guess its a global menu thing, the maximized apps controls go into that | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. Ubuntu-tweak no longer has to settings to reorder the buttons. just left or right. | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i used to do Min Max <big space> Close all the time | 14:12 |
| chabicobi | Thank you i want to install my key USB 3G CDMA in ubuntu 120.4 , the not dectecting that | 14:12 |
| D[4]ni | and where do i find the settings for that? | 14:12 |
| monohedron | on 12.04 lts 64bit plus gnome. in gnome classic sessions every window I open ends up partially hidden by the upper panel. can someone let me now how to prevent that? | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | D[4]ni: from whative googled. you cant reorder them in the top panel. but you can in the window title | 14:14 |
| notze | no i changed the server | 14:14 |

| sa7elak | Hello, how to move an application window to another workspace ??? and how to switch between work spaces using keyboard ?? | 14:16 |
| iceroot | sa7elak: ctrl + alt + left/right cursor-key to switch (if i am correct) | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sa7elak: ctrl+alt+left / right cursor to switch workspace | 14:17 |
| Dr_Willis | sa7elak: in unity on 12.04 press and hold the SUPER(windows) key and it shows a shortcut guide | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sa7elak: you can right click the window decorator and send it to a workspace that way | 14:17 |
| Dr_Willis | it says shift-alt-ctrl-arrows to move to otehr work spaces | 14:18 |
| chabicobi | #ubuntu-fr | 14:18 |
| Dr_Willis | The Super Key is SUper! | 14:18 |
| iceroot | notze: i bet you just messed up your /etc/apt/sources.list :) so its your fault and not the fault of ubuntu and the complete flame from you was not needed :) | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: thanks for asking :) | 14:19 |
| stars69 | hi, what is the cmd to format drive under ssh screen? | 14:20 |
| sa7elak | Thanks for you all | 14:20 |
| Ashkot | Hello everybody ^_^ | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | stars69: mk2fs you will format the partition too, not the drive | 14:20 |
| michaelvd | Yello, is it possible to find a bluetooth server for multiple communication(voice/soud)? | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | stars69: the partition will need to be unmounted to be formatted | 14:20 |
| stars69 | ActionParsnip, thanks | 14:21 |
| paopao | I installed nvidia on opensuse, then I realized that ubuntu is really easy to use, and it's so convenient | 14:21 |
| compdoc | ubuntu is nice | 14:22 |
| gccster | guys why every time i boot my laptop and login ubuntu the wireless adapter is disabled and i have to press the keyboard enable button? | 14:22 |
| airbender | so nice | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | paopao: some distros come with the driver pre-added :) | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: if you login and run: sudo rfkill unblock all does it unlock it? | 14:23 |
| maddinw | Hello everyone. | 14:23 |
| sirriffsalot | Dr_Willis: Still no change with the nvidia-settings installed.. | 14:23 |
| maddinw | I was redirected from another channel to here and I hope that you could help me with a question I have. | 14:24 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, should i restart and check out? | 14:24 |
| paopao | ActionParsnip, you are right | 14:24 |
| sirriffsalot | Dr_Willis: When I run it now it still tells me "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver." | 14:24 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, i dont know if i am clear the wireless adapter is disabled and it needs a keyboard button to get enabled every time i reboot | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: if the command works, we can make it happen automagically | 14:25 |
| Ashkot | what is the main differences between the ubuntu and kubuntu? | 14:25 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, ok let me try then | 14:25 |
| maddinw | But if you are busy right now thats ok I guess. | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Ashkot: default desktop, window manager and default apps. The rest is the same | 14:26 |
| Hotwired | wtf is meeboo and why is my ubuntu live disk showing me meeboo ads in the corner of my screen :S | 14:27 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 14:27 |
| rufensis | maddinw what is your question? | 14:27 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like somthign the browser is doing Hotwired | 14:27 |
| luser | hi all. what's the difference in "lspci -k" output between "Kernel driver in use" and "Kernel modules"? i have different output between two different installations... | 14:27 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce G 100] [10de:06e6] (rev a1) and 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] [10de:084b] (rev a2) | 14:27 |
| luser | these are both output: http://pastebin.com/LhrXyvgC | 14:27 |
| luser | in the second case "Kernel modules" is missing although i can see the module with lsmod | 14:28 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: I get those two lines as output.. | 14:28 |
| dontknow | chrome stable 64 bit doesn't have internal flash player? | 14:28 |
| Hotwired | Dr_Willis: evil! | 14:28 |
| maddinw | rufensis: I have a few questions about ssh-tunneling and ssh agents. | 14:28 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: are you trying to use both your onboard and the card? | 14:28 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: No idea... not intentionally at least:S | 14:28 |
| dontknow | i can't see internal flash player in plugins tab | 14:28 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, well it is not working | 14:28 |
| maddinw | I have access to the tunneling service at ssh.silenceisdefeat.com and I can build a tunnel. | 14:28 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: disable the onboard in bios | 14:28 |
| sirriffsalot | Onboard... | 14:29 |
| Ashkot | i think i am in love with kde | 14:29 |
| sirriffsalot | Will that be the G 100 one? | 14:29 |
| maddinw | I use the command ssh -D 8000 -Nf sd | 14:29 |
| L3top | no | 14:29 |
| maddinw | With sd being the host defined in ~/.ssh/confid | 14:29 |
| maddinw | *config | 14:29 |
| L3top | wait | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: so the command is no good :( | 14:29 |
| L3top | perhaps | 14:29 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: so the (rev 2) GeForce 8200? | 14:30 |
| maddinw | I can open it, but I would like to have it at startup so I dont need to open it up myself all the time.+ | 14:30 |
| Ashkot | ActionParsnip : thank you :) | 14:30 |
| maddinw | So I edited my /etc/rc.local file and inserted the command in there. | 14:30 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: I would expect that that is your onboard. however in the bios it will likely identify as "onboard" | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ashkot: np man :) | 14:31 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: I'll have a look, thanks for suggesting! Brb | 14:31 |
| maddinw | But the tunnel is not available after startup. I have activated public key authentification, but that does not make a difference I guess. | 14:31 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: is this an asus m3n78 bpard by chance? | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: does the system have a make and model? | 14:31 |
| L3top | s/bpard/board/ | 14:32 |
| luser | excuse me, anyone knows what's the difference in "lspci -k" output between "Kernel driver in use" and "Kernel modules"? | 14:32 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, you mean my laptops firm? | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | in use mean loaded.. vs ones that could be loaded. | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: the full model please | 14:32 |
| * Dr_Willis guesses | 14:32 | |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, its a local company its an i5 intel 4gb ram nothing special | 14:33 |
| maddinw | Any idea? | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | luser: possibly the ones in use are being used now, but some may be loaded but doing nothing | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: so its not a dell or acer etc? | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | some devices could use differnt modules. I know of several network cards that have differnt drivers that COULD be used for them | 14:34 |
| * L3top guesses Dr_Willis's guess is right | 14:34 | |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: run: sudo dmidecode -t 1 can you pastebin the output please | 14:34 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, nop i think it must be a interface command that im measing like auto wan0 etc | 14:34 |
| luser | ActionParsnip: these era two lspci output of two different installations (dual boot): http://pastebin.com/LhrXyvgC | 14:34 |
| rufensis | maddinw: i've never tried loading an ssh login at bootup. | 14:34 |
| luser | ActionParsnip: the strange thing is that in both installation lsmod shows the pata_marvell module | 14:35 |
| Erealz | hey guys i have a question im running ubuntu 12.04 64bit lts. i haveing a problem when trying to visit a website that was working fine a some time ago. also i cant reach my shellaccount? but if i connect to my vpn then and retry the page loadsup? and the shell account login come up? what could be causeing this? | 14:35 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/5N1LtwWC | 14:35 |
| maddinw | I think it is possible - Im okay with entering the password to allow access to my private keys - but I heard that Linux is flexible so I though this might not pose much of a problem. | 14:36 |

| mosno | i found something that fixes my gnome-panel notification area problem until i logout again: if i open appearance properties and pick another GTK+ theme, it fixes my notification area. it remains fixed even if i switch back to the orginal theme (Ambiance) | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | you can set up ssh keys where you just do a 'ssh host' and it auto starts up with no passwords needed. thats easy enough | 14:37 |
| Onixs | i just installed 12.04 on my powerbook! | 14:37 |
| Dwezzel | Does someone knows why updates are so slow today ? From Canada... ??? Or maybe it's only me.... | 14:37 |
| maddinw | Dr_Willis: Could you explain that a but further please? | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Dwezzel: been slow for 4+ days | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | !ssh | maddinw | 14:37 |
| ubottu | maddinw: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 14:37 |
| Dwezzel | Thx Dr_Willis | 14:38 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: Hi... I went into the bios (I'm on a acer aspire machine) and I can't find any options to disable the graphics cards....... this is getting annoying lol | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: ok, if you run: sudo lshw -C network what driver is the wifi using? | 14:38 |
| Prsm | Hello, How do you portforward on Ubuntu without router access? | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: you generate the keys copy the pub to the server. and ssh foo, i get a prompt no need to enter a pass | 14:38 |
| * Erealz i need help trobleshooting a problem ,im running ubuntu 12.04 64bit lts. i haveing a problem when trying to visit a website that was working fine a some time ago. also i cant reach my shellaccount? but if i connect to my vpn then and retry the page loadsup? and the shell account login come up? what could be causeing this? | 14:38 | |
| Dwezzel | Dr_Willis: Nobody knows when it will be fixed ?? | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Dwezzel: no idea | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Prsm: if you are using a router you need to set it up there | 14:38 |
| Dwezzel | Thx anyway Dr_Willis | 14:38 |
| maddinw | Dr_Willis: why should I use PuTTy on a system that has SSH build into it? I have the public key on the host, but this does still require me to open the tunnel after startup. | 14:39 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/ZJfFH2tQ | 14:39 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: disable what graphics? in favor of what? | 14:39 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: let me look at something | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: you dont need to use putty client on linux, unless you like its features. | 14:39 |
| maddinw | And I use dynamic forwarding...local forwarding does not really work. | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: ok, reboot then run: sudo modprobe -r ath9k ; sleep 2; sudo modprobe ath9k | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: you can use the command line to set up tunnels and so forth | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | gccster: does it then work? | 14:40 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: L3top suggested I do that, since I have two graphic cards showing up when I want to know of their usage | 14:40 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, ok give me a moment | 14:40 |
| maddinw | Dr_Willis: I know. I do that, but I can't open them at startup. | 14:40 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: the 2 you pasted were the exact same model. | 14:40 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: uhm... no? Different numbers and on different lines, how can they be the same?!-.- | 14:40 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: i know of no OEM that will embed 2 discrete nVidia GPUs into a system. | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: you can make shell scripts start at login. | 14:40 |
| Erealz | ok | 14:41 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: OEM? | 14:41 |
| L3top | I dont think so. | 14:41 |

| Dr_Willis | stuff in .config/autostart starts at login. if set up right | 14:41 |
| L3top | they have different pci-ids | 14:41 |
| maddinw | Dr_Willis: I already edited my /etc/init.d/rc.local and inserted "ssh -D 8000 user@host" | 14:41 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: 07:56 < sirriffsalot> product: G98 [GeForce G 100] and product: G98 [GeForce G 100] | 14:41 |

| sirriffsalot | mneptok: what L3top just linked is correct.. | 14:42 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: this is a laptop? | 14:42 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: nope, just a shitty PC | 14:42 |
| Erealz | umm how about this command would i issue to find out why a certain page is load and or haveing trouble connecting to it services like a shellaccount? | 14:42 |
| L3top | looks like a nettop | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: stuff in rc.local get ran by root.. so you need to set up the keys in the root users dir i imagine. | 14:42 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: It's an acer aspire x3200... | 14:42 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: do you have a PCI(-E) graphics card in it? | 14:42 |
| L3top | I am not sure what benefit the addin card is. | 14:42 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: how do I check? | 14:42 |
| L3top | I was loking them up. | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: useing su -c in rc.local lets the command get ran by a user and use the users stuff. | 14:42 |
| Erealz | umm how about this?what command would i issue to find out why a certain page isn't loading and or having trouble connecting to it services like a shellaccount? | 14:43 |

| === Prsm_ is now known as Prsm | ||
| maddinw | Dr_Willis: This sounds plausible...I will try it out | 14:43 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: uhm, the monitor cable is plugged into the "top" | 14:44 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: there is only one place to plug in a monitor? | 14:44 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: no, two | 14:44 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: trying to find a picture for you to see the rear | 14:44 |

| maddinw | Thank you very much so far...see you after my reboot. | 14:44 |
| knutremi | Hi. I'm having trouble with gedit and FTP. Some of the files I save go empty at random. I asked yesterday but no one had an answer. | 14:44 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: look at the rearward port. is it an expansion slot? | 14:44 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: http://www.google.no/imgres?q=acer+aspir+x3200&um=1&hl=no&safe=off&client=opera&sa=N&rls=en&channel=suggest&tbm=isch&tbnid=vo1hpHAKoo4MrM:&imgrefurl=http://www.saverstore.com/product/20029938/Acer-Aspire-X3200-Athlon-64-X2-5000-26GHz-3GB-RAM-320GB-DVDRW-LAN-Vista-Home-GeForce&docid=kZYs605ci8V55M&imgurl=http://images2.icecat.biz/img/gallery/2059992_6279.jpg&w=1024&h=1206&ei=PAO5T5miB4PYtA | 14:45 |
| sirriffsalot | Lol | 14:45 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: expansion slot? How do I tell?:$ | 14:45 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: in that picture I'm connected to the top one | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | luser: is the module 'ahci' loaded in the system with the smaller output? I imagine the one with more text is the 'ok'one.... | 14:45 |
| * Erealz what command would i issue to find out why a certain page isn't loading and or having trouble connecting to it services like a shellaccount? | 14:45 | |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: that "top one" is an expansion card. | 14:45 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: yea, I figured... What about that? | 14:46 |
| knutremi | Please, at least tell me where to ask my question, if you haven't got any answers. | 14:46 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: that's probably the GeForce 8200. | 14:46 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: Ok? | 14:46 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: what's the point?:D | 14:46 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: want me to take it out? | 14:46 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: the mobo probably has the G100 embedded | 14:46 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: I've done it before | 14:46 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: I suppose the GeForce 8200 is better... | 14:46 |
| luser | ActionParsnip: yes, the more output is the ok one and yes, it is ahci module is shown by lsmod also in the "broken" one | 14:46 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: what is it you are trying to do exactly? | 14:46 |
| * Erealz what command would i issue to find out why a certain page isn't loading and or having trouble connecting to it services like a shellaccount? | 14:47 | |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: anyway where are we going with all of this? | 14:47 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: you're the one asking for help. you tell me. | 14:47 |
| knutremi | T_T | 14:47 |
| Sidewinder | knutremi, What do you mean by "go empty at random?" | 14:47 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: I just want the right nvidia driver installed..:) Haha | 14:47 |
| luser | ActionParsnip: i don't understand why lspci doesn't show the "Kernel modules" line... | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ tried that | 14:47 |
| Erealz | it just me | 14:48 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: right now nvidia-settings tells me I have none installed.. | 14:48 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: there is no "right" nVidia driver. nVidia issues a single, monolithic binary blob driver for Linux that supports the devices they choose. | 14:48 |
| knutremi | Sidewinder: I save the files directly to FTP. Then for inexplicable reasons, some of them go empty in the meantime. | 14:48 |
| luser | ActionParsnip: any idea? | 14:48 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: well I at least want some nvidia driver installed so my graphics won't be complete crap:) | 14:48 |
| Erealz | god damn | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | luser: maybe it needs the 2.6.35 (or later) to work | 14:49 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: why do you need the proprietary driver from nVidia? what does the "nouveau" driver in the kernel lack that you need? | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: possibly a bad DNS | 14:49 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: trying to run a game in wine, and I've spent 12 hours trying to configure the graphics right in wine and the game itself so it'll be viewable at least... | 14:49 |
| sa7elak | how to copy a directory with its content to another place from terminal ? | 14:49 |
| luser | ActionParsnip: well, i hope it's not the reason... the 2.6.32 has the ability to load that module in menuconfig... | 14:49 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: it runs at 12-18 fps.... has to be driver missing | 14:50 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: and as it turns out there isn't one installed:P Explains a lot | 14:50 |
| luser | ActionParsnip: is there anything else i can test? | 14:50 |
| knutremi | Sidewinder: I have no idea if it happens as they're being saved, or something happens in the background without my intervention. | 14:50 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: if you want my honest opinion, if you want to run games, just install Windows. WINE is not a solution. | 14:50 |
| Sidewinder | knutremi, I'm very sorry but I just don't understand your question. | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | luser: what distro/versions are the boots | 14:51 |
| iceroot | sa7elak: cp -r /path/to/dir /path/to/target | 14:51 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: that isn't an option right now, and many people run it absolutely fine. Would you mind telling me how to get a nvidia driver installed and just see how it goes? If you're right after that then there we go | 14:51 |
| GeneralEater | Hi. | 14:51 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: there is no driver missing. you are using the 2D-only "nouveau" open source nVidia driver that is built-in to the Linux kernel. | 14:51 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: can you please tell me the output of apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep Installed | 14:51 |
| maddinw | Hello again. | 14:51 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: hmm Installed: (none) | 14:51 |
| maddinw | Unfortunately my attempt did not work quite well... | 14:52 |
| knutremi | I need to figure out if gedit has problems saving to FTP or if it will remove file contents without my knowledge. | 14:52 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: Well, 2D explains a lot then! it's a 3D game:P | 14:52 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: be aware, there are TONS of people here every week that complain about how the proprietary nVidia driver has broken their system. | 14:52 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: if I were you, I would sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates | 14:52 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: I'm one of them..:) | 14:52 |
| GeneralEater | Is it possible to do a sort of "Factory Reset", where all my personal files are wiped from the hard drive, but the OS stays? | 14:52 |
| mneptok | sirriffsalot: and you want to install it anyway> | 14:52 |
| mneptok | !? | 14:52 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: trying that then, finger crossed:) | 14:52 |
| sirriffsalot | sirriffsalot: I can just remove it again if it fails?:P | 14:52 |
| L3top | mneptok: there is a problem with 295.40 imo. The nvidia-current-updates package seems much happier. | 14:52 |
| knutremi | Because my hard work is being irreversably deleted when I'm editing files stored on FTP through gedit. | 14:53 |
| maddinw | Dr_Willis: I have added the line: udo su maddinw -c ssh -D 8000 -fN maddinw@ssh.silenceisdefeat.com | 14:53 |
| mneptok | L3top: i;m not talking about just recent events. i'm talking about what i have seen on this channel in the past 6 years. | 14:53 |
| maddinw | sudo su maddinw -c ssh -D 8000 -fN maddinw@ssh.silenceisdefeat.com | 14:53 |
| gccster | ActionParsnip, i tried it nothing happened every time i boot i have to click Enable Wireless on gnome to start the wireless adapter | 14:53 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: nvidia-current-updates nvidia-settings-updates these two packages were going to be installed as a result... sound right? | 14:54 |
| luser | ActionParsnip: the wotking one is ubuntu 10.10 and the "broken" one is debian squeeze | 14:54 |
| luser | i'm also asking in the debian community... | 14:54 |
| ardian | Hi I have the classic gnome menu how can I add the minimize max and close button to the upper panel ? | 14:54 |
| ardian | like in os x ? | 14:54 |
| L3top | nvidia has had the best proprietary support historically imo. If you just don't like closed source, I can respect that... but, we use nvidia extensively and I only dislike this set of drivers | 14:54 |
| L3top | yes sirriffsalot | 14:54 |
| flowerpot | GeneralEater, it's usually not that easy. Something might have come with your version of ubuntu (I don't know though), but one method would be to just run a tool from a livecd to clean the drive, then re-install Ubuntu. | 14:55 |
| mneptok | L3top: you have opinion. i have 6 years of logs. :) | 14:55 |
| maddinw | Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? | 14:55 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: praying for some luck...:D | 14:55 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: alright, shall I just reboot now when it's finished installing? | 14:56 |
| GeneralEater | flowerpot, Okay, I'll do that then. | 14:56 |
| Erealz | ActionParsnip i thought of that and changed the dns to google dns on my router to no avail? it weird becouse if i connect to my vpn the page loads up and i can get to my shell account login why else might it be | 14:56 |
| flowerpot | maddinw, what are you trying to do? | 14:56 |
| maddinw | flowerpot: I am trying to get my SSH-Tunnel working at startup | 14:56 |
| L3top | mneptok: Again... I am sure you have ati problems, and intel problems... we use compositing and accelleration for h264 in our project, and nvidia has always worked just dandy... we auto detect and install... and it all works great, except this latest slew... your "opinion" is noted | 14:57 |
| L3top | yes sirriffsalot | 14:57 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: haha:) cheers. rebooting then. *prays incessantly* | 14:57 |
| maddinw | flowerpot: so I edited /etc/init.d/rc.local | 14:58 |
| flowerpot | maddinw, what's up with the first "udo su" in your line? | 14:58 |
| flowerpot | maddinw, could you upload your rc.local and share it if it doesn't contain any sensitive information? | 14:58 |
| maddinw | flowerpot: bash didnt catch that anymore...it does not. I can upload it to pastebin. | 14:58 |
| wolfcore | maddinw: you don't need _both_ sudo and su, only sudo | 14:59 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: Now my system details says I have "GeForce G100/PCIe/SSE2 " as a driver:D | 14:59 |
| c0deMaster | anybody running openvpn ? i'm the internet speed is extremely slow | 14:59 |
| maddinw | Alright...I will upload it anyway now. | 14:59 |
| ardian | Get Unity-Like Window Buttons On The Top any help about this | 14:59 |
| L3top | Check performance sirriffsalot. | 14:59 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: in what way? | 15:00 |
| L3top | however you did before :P | 15:00 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: logging in to the game:P | 15:00 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: as a side benefit... you can likely use multiple monitors, and enable twinview in the nvidia config gui. | 15:01 |
| Orpheon | I'm having big problems with wine and opengl | 15:01 |
| maddinw | flowerpot: http://pastebin.com/7r0TbwHM | 15:01 |
| Orpheon | it's complaining that it can't find opengl | 15:01 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: don't have enough space for that | 15:01 |
| sirriffsalot | Hmmmm | 15:01 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: Hang on | 15:01 |
| Orpheon | I tried completely reinstalling the nvidia drivers, wine, mesa, and everything opengl-related I could find | 15:01 |

| sirriffsalot | L3top: you're my hero | 15:02 |
| Orpheon | I even tried copying 32 bit opengl libraries and stuck them in /usr/lib, /usr/lib32, /usr/local/lib | 15:02 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: now my ego kicks in... how do I check which nvidia driver is installed? GeForce G100/PCIe/SSE2 I suppose is the name?:p | 15:02 |
| L3top | apt-cache policy nvidia-current-updates will tell you specifics. | 15:03 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: just out of wanting to learn, where do you learn all this stuff from? I'd like to be able to handle this myself in the future, haha:) | 15:03 |
| maddinw | sirriffsalot: experience and commitment. | 15:04 |
| maddinw | flowerpot: and idea what I should try out? | 15:04 |
| sirriffsalot | maddinw: I have the latter and starting to get former | 15:04 |
| Orpheon | any wine experience? | 15:04 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: But is there some webpage where they cover this very specifically? Ubuntupage of some kind? | 15:04 |
| Orpheon | or driver installation? | 15:04 |
| sirriffsalot | Orpheon: a little:) | 15:04 |

I made the mistake of poking around in the source code trying to make more available, and now it's just sort of what I do. We went from only using nvidia, to just about everything out there. To summerize... just dig into some code somewhere. | 15:05 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: Uhm, that command says among other things "295.49-0ubuntu0.1 " | 15:05 |
| L3top | correct... that is the driver you are using... 295.49. | 15:06 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: I have no experience in "digging" in codes nor desire to try, I'd smash my computer by the end of a week | 15:06 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: but... what does that mean? Is it "the latest"? The most stable?? | 15:06 |
| flowerpot | maddinw, I don't know if the sudo command will work, but I suggest you put this in your ~/.bashrc or ~.bash_profile files instead | 15:06 |
| MestreLion | (i've tried to delete all settings and configs (and keys) of Software Center, but no matter which account I sign in, Recommendations does not work. Any troubleshooting clues? | 15:06 |
| Orpheon | I execute a windows exe that has always worked for me these past 2 years | 15:07 |
| Orpheon | http://pastebin.com/RHEqt9xD | 15:07 |
| Orpheon | especially these lines | 15:07 |
| Orpheon | err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is disabled, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly (using GL renderer "GeForce GTX 460 SE/PCIe/SSE2", version "1.4 (2.1.2 NVIDIA 295.49)"). | 15:07 |

| FloodBot1 | Orpheon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:07 |
| flowerpot | you can remove the sudo su maddinw -c part | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. when reencoding a video. Ive noticed the thumbnail frame changes. Anyone noticed a tool that would let me select what frame is used for the initial/thumbnail frame? Be nice to have the grandkids face on the videos that star them. ;) | 15:07 |
| basso | exit | 15:07 |
| basso | so hardcore | 15:08 |
| maddinw | Dr_Willis pointed out that rc.local runs with root permissions and thus will not know the public key I have put on the host. | 15:08 |
| Dr_Willis | MestreLion: i find the software recommendations to be rahter... pointless.. | 15:08 |
| L3top | what version is there is up to the cononical folks. I believe right now the most current is in the 302 range, but I don't test each one for stability... using 295.40 as buntu's stable version was a mistake imo... but what do I know... If you want to experiment you can check out xorg edgers PPA, they have bleeding edge debian packages. | 15:08 |
| Etale | I have a question: I'm getting a new laptop tomorrow, and I want to install Linux on it. At first I was thinking of Gentoo, because it's the most customizable. But I understand that to install anything on it (even firefox) takes forever. What would you recommend? Ultimately, I want something that is like Ubuntu but isn't as heavy. Should I go with a low-fat version of Ubuntu, or perhaps with | 15:08 |
| Etale | Debian? | 15:08 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: ^ | 15:08 |
| mneptok | L3top: like i said, it is opinion based on a very deep experience with Ubuntu users. | 15:08 |
| Etale | I'm a noob at this point, but I have no problem learning as much as is needed. It will be fun for me. | 15:08 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: personally id set up a script that does it all then run that script from rc.local - BUT ifyou are using encrypted homes that may be another issue i just thought of. | 15:08 |
| iceroot | Etale: lubuntu | 15:08 |
| iceroot | Etale: if you want a light system based on ubuntu | 15:09 |
| maddinw | Dr_Willis: I do have /home encrypted. | 15:09 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: I think I'll leave well enough alone for now, lol:D | 15:09 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: thanks a million for your help! | 15:09 |
| L3top | mneptok: and mine is based on making all of these work without any user interaction at all... on any hardware with any display. | 15:09 |
| L3top | np sirriffsalot. | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: then even at boot up the key files wont be getting read i belive... | 15:09 |
| sirriffsalot | mneptok: you too, thanks for your time! | 15:09 |
| sirriffsalot | And everyone else:) | 15:09 |
| Orpheon | @L3top: I tried xorg edgers. I couldn't even configure the nvidia server settings, my entire screen was distorted, so I went back to nvidia-current | 15:09 |
| MestreLion | Dr_Willis: true, but a buggy Software CEnter that does not stick settings makes me a little worried about using it to buy software, for example | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | maddinw: i never encrypt home. ;() | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: lubuntu is light, or install minimal then install fluxbox | 15:09 |
| mneptok | Orpheon: boot to a previous kernel and see if your nVidia drivers work there. | 15:10 |
| Orpheon | uhh | 15:10 |
| flowerpot | maddinw, if you put the script in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile it won't start the tunnel until you log in... if you're cool with root or whatever process init runs as owning the tunnel, then just remove the sudo su stuff and try again. Also, FYI, sudo su isn't necessary; sudo can run commands as another user. | 15:10 |
| Orpheon | how do I boot to a previous kernel | 15:10 |
| Orpheon | ? | 15:10 |
| Dr_Willis | MestreLion: i dont plan on ever buying anything via software center.. actually i rarelyuse software center | 15:10 |
| Orpheon | I have a few backups | 15:10 |
| Orpheon | of these last months /usr and /home | 15:10 |
| Orpheon | if that helps | 15:10 |
| zykotick9 | Orpheon: hold SHIFT after BIOS to get grub menu | 15:10 |
| mneptok | Orpheon: <esc> early in the boot to get a boot menu | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Orpheon: hold shift at boot then select the old kernel | 15:10 |
| Etale | iceroot, ActionParsnip, I see that on the wiki page of lubuntu it says: "low-RAM environment for netbooks, mobile devices and older PCs". My laptop is going to be a 8GB monster. Is it still a good option? | 15:10 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 15:10 |
| Orpheon | ok | 15:10 |
| L3top | again Orpheon that is bleeding edge stuff... whether or not that days release is stable on whatever specific card you have is a bit of a coin toss... I was not trying to recommend it for anything other than experiment. | 15:11 |
| MestreLion | good for you Dr_Willis.... But I still would like mine to work bug-free. Does anyone have any experience in Software CEnter settings and troubleshooting? | 15:11 |
| cristian_c | How can I enable pinch gesture on my touchpad with ubuntu? | 15:11 |
| iceroot | Etale: yes | 15:11 |
| Etale | I just don't want all the junk in Ubuntu that I will never use. | 15:11 |
| Etale | What would you say about Debian? | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | MestreLion: its also possible the slowdown/issues with the ubuntu servers are causing the problem. | 15:11 |
| maddinw | flowerpot: I will try it now without the sudo su stuff. | 15:11 |
| Etale | How close is the Debian experience from Ubuntu? | 15:11 |
| flowerpot | Etale, such as? You may find that slightly more junk is preferable to slightly less junk on a desktop. | 15:11 |
| cristian_c | How can I use this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad for enabling pinch? | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: depends on what desktopps you install. ;) | 15:11 |
| Etale | OXFCE | 15:12 |
| Etale | Sorry... | 15:12 |
| Etale | I meant I want XFCE with compiz. | 15:12 |
| zykotick9 | Etale: while ubuntu and debian are technically very similar, the two projects have very different goals - and are thus "very different", though technically similar ;) | 15:12 |
| flowerpot | IMO Ubuntu tends to "just work" and Debian requires a little more effort. | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | why would you want xfce with compiz? xfce has its own window manager. ;0 | 15:12 |
| Sidewinder | MestreLion, You might prefer Synaptic instead of Software Center; it's (Synaptic) in the repos. | 15:12 |
| Etale | zykotick9, I want an environment that is customizable, but also has the option of being easy to work with if I have to get something done fast. | 15:13 |
| MestreLion | Dr_Willis: maybe, but I think it's unlikely... I've tried yesterday and today, in very differnt hours | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | MestreLion: the servers have been problematic for 3+ days now | 15:13 |
| Etale | Dr_Willis, because I really like compiz, and XFCE is the lightest window manager I could find. For example compiz doesn't work on fluxbox. | 15:13 |
| MestreLion | ... and it worked in a live session I've used yesterday | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: xfce is a desktop that uses the xfwm window manager. | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: fluxbox and compiz are both window managers... | 15:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: you can set up a compiz session to run whatever other extra programs you want and build your own desktop. | 15:14 |
| Etale | BTW, I hear that Gentoo has the best package repository. Is it possible to use those packages in Debian/Ubuntu? | 15:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: 'best' is vague and debateable. | 15:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: they use a sourced based system. so its more up to date. but can still have problems. and no they are not compatable with ubuntu | 15:15 |
| flowerpot | Etale, it's best not to mix packages between distros. There are small differences that can muck up the results (e.g. different paths). | 15:15 |
| zykotick9 | Etale: and gentoo doesn't typically use "packages", it's a source based distro | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: ubuntu minimal + fluxbox + slim comes in at about 1.2Gb then you'll need a network manager app like wicd if you want to use wifi easily | 15:15 |
| Etale | Dr_Willis, I don't really understand. If I want compiz to work, and I want it to be as lightweight as possible, then what would you suggest? | 15:15 |
| Etale | flowerpot, thanks. | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: compiz and lightweight are two very opposite things. :) | 15:15 |
| MestreLion | Sidewinder: i'm an ubuntu user since Karmic... synaptic is great if I want an in-depth tech details on a given package.... but I still would like Software Center to work properly, specially regarding SSO | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: if you want light and a decently featured desktop = Lubuntu, then lxde/lubuntu, | 15:15 |
| Etale | ActionParsnip, what's the difference between Ubuntu minimal and lubuntu? | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: lightest = just a widnow manager with no extra apps. ie openbox | 15:16 |
| Etale | Dr_Willis, but would compiz work on openbox? | 15:16 |
| zykotick9 | Etale: mini is the debian net-installer (text only) - with LOTS of options, including installing a base non-gui system, then adding what you actually want. | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: minimal is just kernel + boot loader + drivers | 15:17 |
| MarcoFe | hi guys | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: compiz and openbox are BOTH window managers.. they replace each other. | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: plus a few basic apps, all text based | 15:17 |
| theadmin | Etale: That doesn't even make sense. One window manager does not work "on" another window manager. You can't run two at the same time. | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Etale: linux is all about layers. ;) | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | desktop = a window manager + extra apps. | 15:17 |
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: Ha, that's a good one :) | 15:17 |
| MestreLion | besides, the new revamped Software Center is one of the major, key Ubuntu selling points... so it is a bit weird that instead of trying to help with it, you are suggesting a 10+ years software. | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: lubunu adds an x server, LXDE, openbox and some applications like web browser, office productivity etc | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | MestreLion: most people seemt o hate the software center. | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | im getting where i like the android market even less and less. ;) | 15:18 |
| Orpheon | back | 15:18 |
| Orpheon | didn't help | 15:18 |
| MestreLion | and most people hate Unity. Still, this is #ubuntu. If you hate it, use something else | 15:18 |
| knutremi | I wrote a more in-depth explaination of my FTP + gedit problem in the Ubuntu pastebin. | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | its very likely the reccomendation servers are slow/down. i can barely get apt-get to even work for the last 4+ days | 15:18 |
| Etale | Let's say I install Debian. How different is that from installing lubuntu? | 15:18 |
| knutremi | !paste 997512 | 15:19 |
| Sidewinder | MestreLion, I totally understand; my use of SC is not that extensive so I don't have a definitive answer for you, sorry. Synaptic has always met my needs so I am much more familiar with it. Please keep in mind that both Synaptic and Software Center are merely gui front ends for apt-get | 15:19 |
| knutremi | Uh that's not how I paste? | 15:19 |
| knutremi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/997512/ | 15:19 |
| Dr_Willis | and apt-get update - has been going on here for like 40 min now.. normally takes 40 sec. ;( | 15:19 |
| MestreLion | Dr_Willis: that is not the problem. If I re-open SC, it suggests me trying to Turn On recommendations again, so that setting is not being saved | 15:19 |
| MarcoFe | i've a problem with my audio...for example when use it with skype or google+ plugin to conference chat, after a bit time, audio is mute...anyone have this problem? | 15:20 |
| vexaxv | hey guys im using ubuntu 12.04 and got this error when trying to install "ia32-libs" through synaptic "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10_i386.deb" what do i do? | 15:20 |
| Dr_Willis | MestreLion: ive seen cases where people runs tuff as root and it writes config files to the users home. | 15:20 |
| Dr_Willis | vexaxv: servers have been real slow last few days. try it again. | 15:20 |
| g0th | hi | 15:21 |
| Etale | How close is Sabayon to the Ubuntu experience? | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | vexaxv: or switch to a non us server. | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: my quantal install does that, sloooow over wifi | 15:21 |
| L3top | !poll | Etale | 15:21 |
| ubottu | Etale: 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. | 15:21 |
| vexaxv | Dr_Willis, thanks, and how do i switch? | 15:21 |
| g0th | in unity, how do I make it that if I fullscreen a window it is put on the "right side" of the left panel? | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | vexaxv: not sure of the proper way these days | 15:21 |
| g0th | at the moment the panel will appear on top of the window | 15:21 |
| vexaxv | Dr_Willis, k well ill keep trying thanks man just got off my 14 hour shift so sweet and simple answer :P | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure see step 5 | 15:21 |
| maddinw | Its me again. It worked now. Thank you very much Dr_Willis and flowerpot. | 15:22 |
| tieinv | Dr_Willis: sudo apt-get update Fetched 6,687 kB in 1min 1s (108 kB/s) :) | 15:22 |
| Dr_Willis | there used to be a mirrorselect tool | 15:22 |
| L3top | Dr_Willis: I think something funny is going on with the repos. People have been complaining the last few days about speed. | 15:22 |
| g0th | is there a configuration tool about how the panel behaves with respect to a (fullscreened or not) window | 15:22 |
| Dr_Willis | tieinv: i was getting stuff in B/sec the other day | 15:22 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 15:23 |
| MestreLion | Sidewinder: I'm aware of that. And I think that nowadays Synaptics is a little lost... newbies prefer SC, and it's great because of the reviews (if you don't know *what* you want, you search for it). Skilled users go Aptitude or apt-get. So Synaptics use-case now is a bit weak | 15:23 |
| L3top | You can add deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt $DISTRO main restricted universe multiverse et al to the top of your /etc/apt/sources.list and it will find the closest best it can | 15:23 |
| MestreLion | even aptitude has an experimental gtk frontend | 15:23 |
| L3top | replacing $DISTRO with your distribution. | 15:24 |
| morsnowski | is there a specific make or model for hybrid TV cards that runs on ubuntu with the least amount of wrestling? | 15:24 |
| Sidewinder | MestreLion, As you so accurately stated earlier, it's all about choices. :) | 15:24 |
| Etale | Okay... Look, I'm a novice. I want to install something that is bare-bones but has the potential to be customized to the point of being easy to use. (Which also means that I want the possibility of using binary packages as opposed to bare-bones Gentoo.) Since this is an Ubuntu chatroom, I figured it would be a good place to get advice about Ubuntu-related distros. Ultimately, after some | 15:24 |
| Etale | customization, I want an Ubuntu-like environment. But I would also like to be bare-bones and customizable and for it to have a very good repository of packages. | 15:24 |
| knutremi | I'm better off posting about my gedit + FTP problem in the Ubuntu forums right? | 15:24 |
| theadmin | Etale: Use the minimal Ubuntu setup, simple as that -- install only things you want from that point on | 15:24 |
| deejay31 | Yay I finally managed to transfer all my stuff to ubuntu | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: install ubuntu minimal then install fluxbox, its as barebomes a desktop as it goes | 15:24 |
| Etale | theadmin, thanks. | 15:25 |
| MestreLion | so for me synaptics is a weak software... it is less friendly than SC, it has no reviews, and it has less features than aptitude or apt-get | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: did say that earlier... | 15:25 |
| L3top | This channel is for tech support of ubuntu. Asking whether or not you should install other distributions is not its purpose Etale. Your queries are going to receieve arbitrary answers and they are clogging up the channel. Try ubuntu-offtopic or bots. | 15:25 |
| Etale | In what sense is bare-bones Ubuntu different from bare-bones Debian? Does Debian also have same repository for apt-get, but also has more customizability? | 15:25 |
| Sidewinder | knutremi, That would be my suggestion; if your question is not answered to your satisfaction here, try ubuntuforms.org. | 15:26 |
| Etale | Okay, L3top. | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: ubuntu and debian repos are seperate | 15:26 |
| Karmaon | is ppa.launchpad.net down? | 15:26 |
| Etale | ActionParsnip, which is bigger? | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: no idea, why do you care? | 15:26 |
| Sidewinder | oops, ubuntuforums.org. Sorry. :( | 15:26 |
| MestreLion | Etale: both have live CDs... try them out | 15:26 |
| Etale | The more the better. | 15:26 |
| theadmin | Etale: Debian and Ubuntu are *unrelated*. They use different repositories, Debian is much less up-to-date most of the time (especially the "stable" branch), the two are incompatible. | 15:26 |
| Etale | Okay. | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: not strictly | 15:27 |
| MestreLion | "debian is less up-to-date" is very innacurate info. unstable and testing are usually much more up-to-date than Ubuntu, since they are rolling repos | 15:27 |
| L3top | http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ Karmaon | 15:27 |
| L3top | looks like it is | 15:27 |
| flowerpot | maddinw, pleasure to be of help | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: Ubuntu could compile every app with minimal functionality, then Debian could compile the same with every feature enabled with zero optomisation. Which is better? | 15:28 |
| theadmin | MestreLion: I *did* mention the stable branch specifically. | 15:28 |
| MestreLion | Etale: mos of your questions are easily answered by either google OR by trying out their live CD. | 15:28 |
| y0wy- | Karmaon: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ppa.launchpad.net | 15:28 |
| amirzaim_ | Even though that Ubuntu is based from Debian, but both Ubuntu and Debian are not same. They have some different function and features. | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Karmaon: do you mean this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas works here | 15:29 |
| theadmin | However, please note that this channel is for Ubuntu support *only*, Debian (and especially stuff like Gentoo) are highly offtopic here | 15:29 |
| Karmaon | ActionParsnip: no the repositories are down, so i can't update some of my packages | 15:29 |
| Krenair | Is there any easy way to have two versions of a package (e.g. google-chrome-stable and google-chrome-unstable) installed at the same time? | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Karmaon: then hang while they come up, could ask in #launchpad | 15:29 |
| MestreLion | theadmin: you said "specially", not "specifically. Debian's Testing and Unstable repos are always more bleeding edge than Ubuntu's, by definition. They are rolling distros, Ubuntu is not | 15:29 |
| theadmin | MestreLion: Bah, pardon my wording. Well yes, you're right. However, please look at my previous message. Debian is offtopic here. | 15:30 |
| MestreLion | youre right. I also suggested Etale to either google or to try live cds... much better than asking here | 15:31 |
| flowerpot | Krenair, http://serverfault.com/questions/279329/can-i-have-two-versions-of-the-same-package-in-an-apt-repository | 15:31 |
| xtu | hi, how to read new in command line in ubuntu? | 15:32 |
| flowerpot | Krenair, see the "Caveat" in the reply | 15:32 |
| MestreLion | So, back to Ubuntu... anyone experienced in troubleshooting one of its flagship products, the Software Center? I would like where it stores its settings, how can I reset it, and find out why some settings are not "sticking" | 15:32 |
| flowerpot | xtu, what do you mean by "read new in command"? | 15:32 |
| Orpheon | also to ubuntu, where could I get some 32-bit opengl libraries? | 15:33 |
| Orpheon | Wine needs them apparently | 15:33 |
| xtu | flowerpot, well, i want to read news in command line, or in console, not gui. | 15:33 |
| MestreLion | Orpheon: doesn't apt-get wine download them automatically? | 15:34 |
| Orpheon | well | 15:34 |
| Orpheon | I tried reinstalling wine | 15:34 |
| Orpheon | but it still complains that it can't initialize opengl | 15:34 |
| Orpheon | people in #winehq have been saying that's because I'm lacking opengl 32 bit libs | 15:34 |
| L3top | Orpheon: have you gone into wine configuration? I don't really use it, but you may have to tick something there | 15:34 |
| Orpheon | well, yeah | 15:34 |
| compdoc | is opengl something you have to install seperatly? | 15:35 |
| Orpheon | there isn't anything besides enabling/disabling hardware acceleration that has anything to do with this | 15:35 |
| Orpheon | also | 15:35 |
| naxil | hello | 15:35 |
| Orpheon | I tried editing the wine registry, DirectDrawRenderer to gdi | 15:35 |
| Orpheon | didn't work either | 15:35 |
| naxil | i need a little help | 15:35 |
| naxil | for enter on monitor setup from Terminal? i have cancel the "monitor Setup" from panel (gnome) | 15:36 |
| Deihmos | isn't it strange that ubuntu works much better virtually that installed on my laptop? WHen I install it my fans go crazy, sound barely works and a host of other problems | 15:36 |
| flowerpot | xtu, you would use a newsreader, i imagine. tons of newsreaders are available on ubuntu; since i don't use them myself i cannot recommend any, but google probably can. | 15:36 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: I wonder... i've got cpufreq installed, but I can't get it to run at 2.40Ghz, it always goes back to 1.20ghz or so... Is there a graphical user interface for configuring this? | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Deihmos: probably some weird acpi | 15:36 |
| xtu | flowerpot, ok, i got it, thanks. | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Deihmos: is it an acer or an alienware? | 15:37 |
| Deihmos | I have an HP envy that has two video cards | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Deihmos: that'll do it too | 15:37 |

| angel282 | Hello, I recently got a dedicated server with ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid) and I was wondering if it possible to upgrade the server to higher version using the ssh and idea? or good tutorial? | 15:38 |
| vexaxv | no | 15:38 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: cpu cores : 2 cpu cores : 2 | 15:39 |
| vexaxv | Try `shutdown --help' for more information. thats what i get | 15:39 |
| zykotick9 | vexaxv: try "sudo shutdown -P now", if -h doesn't work | 15:39 |
| deejay31 | Hey | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | angel282 | 15:39 |
| ubottu | angel282: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 15:39 |
| vexaxv | nope | 15:39 |
| vexaxv | wont shutdown | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | angel282: you can upgrade straight to precise from lucid | 15:40 |
| deejay31 | Who here uses a ZNC | 15:40 |
| theadmin | vexaxv: Try appending "reboot=bios" to the kernel line. | 15:40 |
| vexaxv | if i click shutdown it hangs at the ubuntu loading splash screen | 15:40 |
| IdleOne | deejay31: people in #znc do | 15:40 |
| vexaxv | k i did | 15:40 |
| deejay31 | Oh ok | 15:40 |
| deejay31 | Grrrr | 15:40 |
| Kaduptm | vexaxv try this: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 15:41 |
| zykotick9 | !gksudo | Kaduptm vexaxv | 15:41 |
| ubottu | Kaduptm vexaxv: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 15:41 |
| maikls | hi. were ubuntu saves wifi config? Like I made adhoc AP, but I want to see the config file. Were should I look for it? | 15:42 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: what was that for?:D | 15:42 |
| theadmin | Kaduptm: Please refrain from using "sudo" and "su" for graphical applications. Use their GUI counterparts, "gksudo" and "gksu". | 15:42 |
| Kaduptm | and change: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=force" | 15:42 |
| zykotick9 | maikls: Network Manager doesn't save the wireless to a file... it's stored in a protected database (by default) | 15:42 |
| Kaduptm | ok... my bad | 15:43 |
| flowerpot | maikls, not sure what you mean by "wifi config," but the DHCP config stuff is located in files like /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-2203de08-09c1-4415-a03c-882ba4217f8c-eth0.lease | 15:43 |
| vexaxv | k now what | 15:43 |
| flowerpot | there should be an entry for your wlan | 15:43 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: I am not sure... I am having a senior moment, I don't know if that 2.4 is supposed to be cumulative of the multiple cores, or if what you are reading should be the combined speed. I am still waking up... I am grabbing cpufreq now, have never used it. | 15:43 |
| maikls | flowerpot: thx, zykotick9 - i dont need password, I just want to see how that ad-hoc configuration looks in .conf file | 15:43 |
| vexaxv | Kaduptm, now what | 15:43 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: cool! Thanks for your time! | 15:43 |
| angel282 | ActionParsnip: Great... action.. I tried to upgrade using the "sudo do-release-upgrade" command but I get "no new release found. I think it because the hosting company changed the sources.list any idea? should I changed it back to the ubuntu main source.list? | 15:44 |
| flowerpot | maikls, maybe the ip command? | 15:44 |
| zykotick9 | angel282: LTS->LTS Upgrades aren't offerend (by default) until the point release (sometime next couple of months) | 15:44 |
| zykotick9 | !schedule | angel282 | 15:45 |
| ubottu | angel282: The Ubuntu Precise Pangolin release schedule can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | 15:45 |
| maikls | flowerpot: that gives me not what I want. The whole idea is - I'm runing gentoo but on 2nd laptop ubuntu. And I just not cannot make working adhoc on gentoo system, but on ubuntu its working like a charm. I just want to se what i'm doing wrong in gentoo - to compare both .conf files. | 15:46 |
| L3top | wow repos are braindamage slow... | 15:46 |
| sirriffsalot | :D | 15:46 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: not to be silly... but is your scaling multiplier right in bios? | 15:46 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: qué? | 15:47 |
| maikls | flowerpot: in gentoo it saves it in /etc/conf.d/net | 15:47 |
| maikls | but in ubuntu it is empty | 15:47 |
| y0wy- | maikls, did u try: ps aux, just to see the command? | 15:47 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: the bios I have in this computer is dated 2009 ... might be outdated, but how do I check if that is so? | 15:47 |
| maikls | y0wy-: what does ps aux do? ;/ | 15:48 |
| flowerpot | try ps - ef | 15:48 |
| zykotick9 | maikls: i realize you don't believe me (or don't want to) - but N-M doesn't save stuff to config files... | 15:48 |
| maikls | zykotick9: ok, will try in different way | 15:48 |
| L3top | the multiplier in bios which sets the clock speed... bioses can be very diffrerent. I would look at a manual for your board/computer | 15:48 |
| theadmin | zykotick9: Uh, in Linux everything is a file. Even if NetworkManager uses some awkward gnome pseudo-registry thing such as dconf or gconf, those still store their data in files. If not those, what else? | 15:49 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: not sure there is a function of that kind in my bios at all... | 15:49 |
| zykotick9 | theadmin: yes yes - thanks for that totally unhelpful comment ;) | 15:49 |
| jm | in unix, even Jesus is a file | 15:49 |
| theadmin | zykotick9: No, I'm just trying to understand your point -- *where* does NetworkManager store configuration? | 15:49 |
| Kaduptm | anyone have this problem?! ubuntu tweak 0.7.1 doesnt save cong after reboot... | 15:50 |
| === deejay31 is now known as deejay31|Offline | ||
| zykotick9 | theadmin: N-M reliese on some DM protected files (somewhere). N-M can't do wireless without GDM/LightDM/KDM/etc. because of the permissions on saving the wireless info/credentials | 15:51 |
| L3top | there pretty much has to be... if it can take different chips... I mean... maybe ions dont have them or integrated cpus... I dont know... I don't use those guys as anything but plug n play slim clients... I open the bios and set it to pxe boot and thats it. | 15:51 |
| theadmin | zykotick9: Now *that* is one weird way to store configurations, indeed >.< | 15:51 |
| zykotick9 | theadmin: i have a word for it - but it's not #ubuntu permitted ;) | 15:51 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: checking again then... rebooting:D | 15:52 |

| naxil | hello | 15:58 |
| vitald | I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 (updated). When I try to record a sound through my microphone I got a noise. I tried it in Audacity | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vitald: is it anything like the original sound? | 15:58 |
| naxil | please i have a strange problem. I see the name of my monitor (i have two monitor). What i can do for not see the name on screen? i use gnome 10.04 | 15:58 |
| bedreamer | Anybody mind if I use this channel to learn about IRC | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vitald: is the microphone part of a laptop? | 15:58 |
| AminosAmigos | is it possible to reposition the icons in th unity launcher ? | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | AminosAmigos: sure, long click then move it up or down | 15:59 |

| deejay31 | How can I remove the ubuntu documentation message on logon? | 16:00 |
| maddinw | flowerpot: maybe you remember me ;) | 16:00 |
| maddinw | I have taken flowerpots advice and put the command to open the tunnel into ~/.bashrc | 16:01 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: it shows two "analyzing CPU:" sections and both say "current CPU frequency is 1.20 GHz." | 16:01 |
| maddinw | But not when I open up a console it throws an error message that it can't listen to the port the tunnel runs on. | 16:01 |

| Orpheon | well, almost | 16:06 |
| Orpheon | yes | 16:06 |
| Orpheon | I use it as a test now | 16:06 |
| Orpheon | because it's always worked before | 16:06 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: I am still working... just not waking up... I can't sleep atm... | 16:06 |
| Orpheon | and because it takes little time to execute | 16:07 |
| mafiaboy | ubuntu 12.04 too unstable for now as compared to 10.04 | 16:07 |
| DoctorMonocular | hey L3Top, a little update -- I tried putting that new config info into .bash_profile, and .profile, and I thought I'd cracked the case when I found at the end of my .bashrc file a line refining the PATH, but removing that didn't help. So I'm still at the point where I can run ruby if I manually source bash_profile when I open a terminal, and I still can't run rails because it's looking for a wonky path to ruby1.8. What do you | 16:07 |
| DoctorMonocular | think could cause bash_profile to not load? | 16:07 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: oh, well don't beat yourself up, I'm happy! | 16:07 |
| Orpheon | Game Maker itself, or programs that do not use directX, run well | 16:07 |

| Darael | Having a problem on several machines since they were upgraded to Precise. The settings for keyboard layouts are ignored, and the layout is permamently set to whatever the default for that account was before the upgrade, but behaves as though all the check-boxes under "options" were unset. The other layouts I have configured are selectable from the indicator, but doing so has sod all effect. That means I can't access QWERTY layouts | 16:07 |
| L3top | wolfcore might be able to help you... I was unaware of bash_profiles existence/use | 16:07 |
| sirriffsalot | Orpheon: Hmm, wine is very explicit in detailing events, most of those lines are insignificant to the actual problem as far as I know... But I really have no idea how what you're trying to do works | 16:07 |
| DoctorMonocular | L3top, is he around? | 16:08 |
| mafiaboy | ActionParsnip : yea but i switched to it thinking that it would be stable | 16:08 |
| sirriffsalot | Orpheon: only thing I can suggest is to undo what you did to when it was working | 16:08 |
| mafiaboy | crashes a lot | 16:08 |
| Orpheon | sirriffsalot: I tried un- and reinstalling pretty much everything I could possibly think of | 16:08 |
| Orpheon | asking around | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mafiaboy: upgrade or clean install? | 16:08 |
| Orpheon | and googling around | 16:08 |
| sirriffsalot | Orpheon: backup files, reinstall entire ubuntu?:) | 16:08 |
| Orpheon | most of the people told me I need a 32-bit opengl lib | 16:08 |
| L3top | he does not make me aware of his whereabouts since he got loose from his chain. | 16:08 |
| Orpheon | I have backups of /home and /usr | 16:09 |
| Orpheon | of a month ago | 16:09 |
| Darael | DoctorMonocular: As I recall, .profile and family only load in a login shell, which your standard terminal emulator is not. Stick the lines (whatever they are; I just came in) in .bashrc instead? | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Orpheon: backup /etc too | 16:09 |
| Orpheon | I'll do so from now on, ok | 16:09 |
| Orpheon | also | 16:09 |
| Orpheon | I tried copy-pasting some libs from the backup into my current /usr | 16:10 |
| flowerpot | maddinw, yes | 16:10 |
| Orpheon | is this bad? | 16:10 |
| DoctorMonocular | L3top, you need to keep track of these things man, you're falling down on the job here | 16:10 |

| stiltzkin | Hello all, this is not a critical issue or anything (this is basically throwaway hardware) but I'm wondering why 12.04 is randomly freezing on my old desktop computer.

| abkarch | hey guys. I just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and everything went fine. I then used easyBCD from windows to add it to the boot list. Anyway, upon choosing to boot ubuntu, i get a black screen. I dont get a purple ubuntu loading screen before it or anything, it just goes straight to a black screen. If this helps at all, pressing the power button instantly turns off the laptop, which in my experience usually means no OS is boot | 16:33 |
| stiltzkin | abkarch, have you tried recovery mode? | 16:34 |
| jellybellie | this is crazy | 16:34 |

| jellybellie | k, its not change to english | 16:35 |
| Darael | abkarch: Is there any reason you didn't just use GRUB for the main bootloader? I don't think the Windows bootloader understands Linux, and chainloading GRUB from it requires dumping a grub image to a file, or did last time I tried, about six months ago. | 16:35 |

| abhijitrucks | ok. i added a gnome ppa | 16:44 |
| jellybellie | my gawd ubuntu | 16:44 |
| abhijitrucks | someone plz help | 16:45 |
| abhijitrucks | how to install gnome 3 | 16:45 |
| abhijitrucks | in ubuntu 12.04 | 16:45 |
| tensorpudding | abhijitrucks, first, remove whatever ppa you added | 16:45 |
| abhijitrucks | ok | 16:46 |
| tensorpudding | abhijitrucks, then you're done, because 12.04 comes with gnome 3 | 16:46 |
| terafl0ps | jellybellie, I'm not sure what's going on then. Have you tried logging out of gnome and logging back in after you applied the change? | 16:46 |
| jellybellie | ubuntu just switched me to chinese, that is what happened | 16:46 |
| jellybellie | no idea why | 16:46 |
| abhijitrucks | ok i removed it | 16:46 |
| tensorpudding | abhijitrucks, if you don't believe me, open System Monitor and look at the System tab, and see where it'll say GNOME 3.4.1 | 16:46 |
| jellybellie | terafl0ps: gonna try logging out. | 16:47 |
| compdoc | I think ppl would be happier if 12.03 did run gnome 3, but it doesnt. But thats OK, I getting used to Unity | 16:47 |
| abhijitrucks | but i cant login to a gnome session | 16:48 |
| TheShruv | jellybellie: goto system>administration>language (or something like that) | 16:48 |
| hypn0 | i would be happier if something like openbox was installed too | 16:48 |
| robin0800 | compdoc: 12.04 does run gnome 3 | 16:48 |
| tensorpudding | abhijitrucks, unity is built on top of gnome 3, if you want gnome-shell, just install it by name from the software center, you'll get a GNOME session available | 16:48 |
| LjL | !gnome3 | abhijitrucks | 16:48 |
| ubottu | abhijitrucks: 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. | 16:48 |
| compdoc | robin0800, not the gnome 3 that abhijitrucks means | 16:49 |
| abhijitrucks | i have ubuntu 12.04 | 16:49 |
| tensorpudding | yes, do what it says, install gnome-shell and gnome-tweak-tool | 16:49 |
| LjL | compdoc: yes, what you and abhijitrucks mean is "GNOME-Shell", not "GNOME 3" | 16:49 |
| abhijitrucks | and i want to use gnome instead of unity | 16:49 |
| LjL | abhijitrucks: follow the instructions in the factoid i just gave. | 16:49 |

| ActionParsnip | n1ckn4me09876543: those can be a pita, not worth the hastle | 16:50 |
| abhijitrucks | unity is kinda messed up in ubuntu 12.04 | 16:51 |
| ActionParsnip | n1ckn4me09876543: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh | 16:51 |
| MrGizmo757 | its rough around the edges but you can tweak it and make it good | 16:51 |
| MrGizmo757 | such as making the launcher dodge windows like it did in 11.10 amound many other things | 16:51 |
| MrGizmo757 | with a little TLC you can make unity quite good | 16:51 |
| abhijitrucks | how do i change launcher to reveal when i move my mouse to bottom left corner? | 16:52 |

| MrGizmo757 | not sure about hot corners. i know My unity and even ubuntu tweak have some funtions like that. | 16:52 |
| MrGizmo757 | there is a way i just don tknow it. | 16:52 |
| abhijitrucks | +they dont work in 12.04 | 16:52 |
| abhijitrucks | :( | 16:53 |
| MrGizmo757 | launcher dodgin open windows i have figured out. changin the default lens i have figured out. | 16:53 |
| abhijitrucks | i mean i can only change hotsopts to left edge and top left corner | 16:53 |
| terafl0ps | I admit I haven't tried Unity since 11.04, but I had lots of problems with it on dual displays, and I really couldn't stand the enormous icons. Those big icons would make perfect sense on a small screen where they would scale down to the size of your fingertip though. | 16:54 |
| MrGizmo757 | i agree. out of the box as is Unity is kind of a mess. but if you spend some time with it you can make it very good. | 16:54 |
| MrGizmo757 | hmm not sure about lower hot corners. its not somthing i ever had a need for. i always just use keyboard shortcuts | 16:54 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | win8 copied ubuntu's unity :> | 16:54 |

| amflir | ActionParsnip: the packages are the same | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | amflir: its not ubuntu | 17:07 |

| ActionParsnip | amflir: even the 'ubuntu based' distros are not supported here | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | amflir: and packages from debian are not to be install in ubutnu they will cause issues | 17:07 |

| jellybellie | ubottu: that is helpful | 17:15 |
| L3top | jellybellie: sudo apt-get install fontforge | 17:15 |
| jellybellie | the font editor in 12.04? its not in appearances | 17:15 |
| LjL | jellybellie: i don't think you meant "font editor" anyway. a font editor is something to let you create fonts. | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jellybellie: is it in the Alt+F2 menu? | 17:16 |
| amflir | how to check what packages depended on package FOO are installed? | 17:16 |
| jellybellie | I dont know | 17:17 |
| jellybellie | I cannot read anything | 17:17 |
| jellybellie | the language thing says english, and above it, something in chinese | 17:17 |
| terafl0ps | Still, I'm pretty sure there is no font that changes your language to Chinese. I think any font with a full set of unicode characters would have Chinese characters. | 17:17 |
| jellybellie | all the menus are in chinese | 17:17 |
| Dougie187 | So, basically if I have two applications running in 12.04 the first one to run gets to output, and the other one doesn't. | 17:17 |

| jellybellie | (gawd Im not chinese) | 17:22 |
| jellybellie | terafl0ps: which? just the first one? | 17:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: you can run any of the ubuntus you want | 17:22 |
| danielsaan | Etale: linux mint | 17:22 |

| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 17:23 |

| terafl0ps | So, I would try that. | 17:23 |
| jellybellie | terafl0ps: what is that line? | 17:23 |

| jellybellie | what line?! (: | 17:23 |
| terafl0ps | LANG="en_US.UTF-8" | 17:23 |
| LjL | danielsaan: i don't even know how you think what you just said makes any sense, but at any rate, just don't. | 17:23 |
| Etale | Or minimal ubuntu? lubuntu? | 17:23 |
| danielsaan | why? | 17:24 |
| tensorpudding | Etale, get xubuntu if xfce4 is what you want, get kubuntu is kde 4.6 is what you want, get regular ubuntu if you want unity | 17:24 |

| terafl0ps | You may need to log out of gnome again to get it to pick it up. | 17:24 |
| flowerpot | danielbw, because Ubuntu is significantly different from Debian, even though Debian is the upstream provider for Ubuntu. Moreover, if Mint is an offshoot of Debian, then it's even farther removed from Ubuntu than Debian is. | 17:24 |
| Tw|sT | with that level of hardware, I'd go straight to Ubuntu, rather than Xubuntu. you can always add in the metapackage for Xubntu later, but starting from the root build is always best, I've found | 17:24 |
| LjL | danielsaan: because this is an Ubuntu channel, not a "recommend me the best OS to use" channel. the fellow who asked wasn't even asking *that* in the first place, they were asking about *Ubuntu*, and regardless of what you think, not everything that uses apt-get is "Ubuntu" | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Etale: Ubuntu, yuo will have enough grunt so I wouldn't worry about resources | 17:25 |
| flowerpot | Just because distro A is the upstream provider for distro B does not mean that distro B is compatible with distro A. | 17:25 |

| salvatore | Hello everybody. I have a problem with my Ubuntu 12.04 installation. I got a new Sony Vaio laptop with windows 7 64 bit preinstalled. I wanna keep7 it and install ubuntu also. But when i restart my pc GRUB menu won't appear and start windows | 17:50 |
| Tw|sT | that'll wipe the MBR | 17:50 |
| ZaNeIuM | and rebooted the partioionless drive and still got a grub prompt | 17:50 |
| master0010 | ActionParship iǘe isntalled java 7 | 17:50 |
| master0010 | but the varialbes are still java 6 | 17:50 |
| master0010 | and i cant change them | 17:50 |
| salvatore | may be that i am trying to install an ubuntu 32 bit version? | 17:51 |
| Tw|sT | ZaNeIuM Are you certain tht the drive you're targetting is the one triggering grub? Might it also gotten installed on another drive as well? (just troubleshooting steps of elimination) | 17:51 |
| master0010 | when i type "export JAVA_HOME=.......java-7-oracle" the variable changes but when i logout and log in again the variable is back to java6 | 17:52 |
| Tw|sT | Also, have you checked the "boot" flag in gparted? | 17:52 |
| ZaNeIuM | its a small itx system with one 1 drive | 17:52 |
| dougstew2 | I have 12.04 and i want to see the cpu speed how do i do it?? | 17:52 |
| ZaNeIuM | ull check it now | 17:52 |
| Tw|sT | That'll allow you to kill an MBR on a drive | 17:52 |
| salvatore | why on my new VAIO won't appear GRUB menu??? | 17:52 |
| salvatore | please help!!!! | 17:53 |
| Tw|sT | salvatore: what was your grub installation target drive? /dev/sda1 ? or /dev/sda ? or some other arrangement? | 17:54 |
| salvatore | mmm don't remember... | 17:54 |
| salvatore | but is it possible because i installed a 32 bit version? | 17:55 |
| salvatore | my windows is 64 bit | 17:55 |
| Tw|sT | that wouldnt matter so much | 17:55 |
| Tw|sT | no | 17:55 |
| wifioregon | hi I need to rename LOTS of files. "Track 1.wav" to "a 1.wav" "Track 2.wav" to "a 2.wav" and so on. Can someone please help? Even if you just guide me in the right direction. Do I need to do some kind of loop? | 17:55 |
| Tw|sT | that's perfectly ok | 17:55 |
| Tw|sT | generally, whenever you are setting up a dual boot system, you'll need to install grub to "/dev/sda", which is the MBR of the first detected drive of a modern laptop. The actual target labels may differ depending on your hardware arrangement, but generally my example applies in most cases. | 17:57 |
| Tw|sT | I tend to build USB stick installations that act as a full system. I use these as portable environments, for laptops, Workstations, and my tablet. | 17:58 |
| tdn | I use Ubuntu LTS and want to install the new 12.04, however, the installer does not seem to be able to boot on non pae CPUs. What to do? I need the alternate installer to set up LUKS during install. | 18:00 |
| Tw|sT | I also manage several Linux servers at my work (3 of which are Ubuntu based), and several Ubuntu systems on my home network, where most of those are virtualized on VMWare ESXi host servers, inhouse. | 18:00 |
| ceti331__ | @twist, can you easily use a large portion of the usb stick as the drive | 18:00 |
| Tw|sT | right | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | salvatore: how did you install ubuntu. Via wubi, or by resizing the ntfs and installing that way? | 18:00 |

| ActionParsnip | vimane: could use unity2d session | 18:24 |

| robstark | While I'm here, any recommendation on how to learn terminal? | 18:27 |
| mhahe | any ideas on what the issue is? | 18:27 |
| terafl0ps | That tutorial is fine. It sounds like Java installed correctly, but you just need to change your JAVA_HOME to point to the new install. | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | robstark: use it instead of the gui | 18:27 |
| robstark | But like, a page of some kind? Or a wiki? Looking for a reference point here. | 18:28 |
| Aranel | ActionParsnip: did and removed that folder too, after issuing plasma-desktop on terminal it starts kbuildsycoca, then crashes again. | 18:28 |

| master0010 | terafl0ps, how do i edit java_vm? | 18:34 |
| master0010 | terafl0ps, the other files were already with my new JAVA_HOME | 18:34 |
| terafl0ps | master0010:On second thought, you probably don't need to edit /etc/alternatives/java_vm. | 18:35 |
| master0010 | terafl0ps, but the other files were already edited | 18:35 |
| master0010 | terafl0ps, i didn't made any changes | 18:35 |
| terafl0ps | ActionParsnip, I think he already followed basically those same instructions, but his JAVA_HOME still points to Java 6. | 18:35 |
| terafl0ps | master0010: Are you running gnome right now? This may seem odd, but I've had to log out of gnome at times and log back in to get system environment variable changes to stick sometimes. | 18:37 |

| master0010 | i've done that several times | 18:38 |

| remlabm | Dr_Willis: what should my Xconfig be set on? | 18:38 |
| remlabm | Dr_Willis: by default it had my 2nd monitor disbaled | 18:39 |
| terafl0ps | master0010, It has to be defined in one of those files for system-wide environment variables or one of the scripts executed at login by your user. You may want to double check those places to make sure that the old JAVA_HOME definition is isn't appearing anywhere in those files *after* the new JAVA_HOME definition. If It's defined twice, the second one would win. | 18:42 |
| sokak | yay, found an one liner to kill dupes in sources.list, just wanted to share | 18:43 |
| remlabm | So i guess the issue is, ubuntu is not picking up my 2nd monitor. Can i manually add that do xorg.conf with out breaking everything? | 18:44 |
| master0010 | terafl0ps, thats what im thinking... but i don't find nothing about java 6 in any config file | 18:45 |

| terafl0ps | master0010: You can use that recursive grep command to find the old Java 6 path wherever it may be hiding. | 18:46 |
| remlabm | jagginess it does. i dont want to paste in here.. No same monitors, 2x 24inch acers | 18:47 |

| graingert_ | Somelauw: I believe file roller does that, but hides it | 18:58 |
| remlabm | jagginess, this is the default one, i have not edited. i turned on twinview just to see if the 2nd monitor was working, but then turned it back off | 18:58 |
| graingert_ | Somelauw: ISO lets you delete files by flipping a bit in the file descripto | 18:59 |
| jagginess | Somelauw, dunno how stable it is but i think there's a fuse filesystem for zip (meaning you can get a mountpoint for it) | 18:59 |
| graingert_ | r | 18:59 |
| remlabm | jagginess, do you want me to post my xorg.conf? | 18:59 |

| jagginess | remlabm, before making a new xorg.conf perhaps you can try the nvidia-settings-<> command, try to enable the second monitor with that | 19:05 |
| Dr_Willis | the build in display tool - only works with the gl noevau drivers i belive - not the nvidisda ones | 19:05 |
| wilee-nilee | SnowmanX11, this a fresh install, have you run sudo update-grub in ubuntu? | 19:05 |

| Wiz_KeeD | it says yes (2.6.33+) and i think i have an older version | 19:08 |

| sirriffsalot | Anyone know what has happened to amsn on ubuntu 12.04? | 19:09 |
| bennypr0fane | ubuntu_ , there is no password | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Only time ive seen the live cd ask for a password is when it was badly burnt, or some how messed up | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | the default user is 'ubuntu' i belive.. but for some odd reason when i installed 12.04 it was like 'test' on the live cd as the username.. not sure what was up with that | 19:10 |
| jagginess | remlabm, you called it "Unknown" in your xorg.conf file.. | 19:10 |
| meoblast001 | there's something really confusing about unity for me | 19:10 |
| remlabm | jagginess, so what do you recommend i do from this point? | 19:10 |
| meoblast001 | when i have thunderbird running, the amount of new emails it shows in unity is the amount of new items in my spam box | 19:10 |
| bennypr0fane | Dr_Willis I'm on live usb, I ahve Ubuntu as usr name | 19:10 |
| jagginess | remlabm, i recommend you pastebin a sample X -configure makes.. | 19:10 |
| meoblast001 | is there a way to change this? | 19:10 |
| jagginess | remlabm, type stop lightdm, then do X -configure, start lightdm, then pastebin /root/xorg.conf.new the sample | 19:11 |

| jagginess | remlabm2, run that command as the superuser | 19:15 |
| remlabm2 | ok did that | 19:15 |

| remlabm2 | jagginess, i cant find it to pastebin it... there is nothing in /root that says xorg | 19:23 |
| jagginess | BlueChaos, it's easy..download this -- http://www.nomachine.com/preview/select-package-virtual-desktop-workstation.php?os=linux , then use firefox from another station --> https://<ip>:4080 .. or you can use the Nomachine "Player" from mac/linux/windows and get it a bit faster than firefox | 19:23 |
| OerHeks | xangua, no, didn't see that, thanks for mentioning it. | 19:23 |
| oCean | sirriffsalot: yes, or contact the maintainers of the package. PPA pages (in launchpad) usually have some statistics about recent upload, succesful builds etc | 19:23 |
| jagginess | remlabm2, did you type "find /root" ? | 19:24 |
| sirriffsalot | oCean: cheers mate! | 19:24 |
| OerHeks | so, sirriffsalot, ppa is not build right, all you can do is build the source yourself. | 19:24 |

| Noobist | Using wine, if I wanted to add launch parameters to a program, how do I do that? | 19:51 |

| Noobist | Like, -window | 19:51 |
| bennypr0fane | manigma77_ do you need instructions for running the script? | 19:51 |

| Ca11um | I saw this screenshot a few days ago (can't find it now), but it showed a 12.04 login screen; it had a bunch of random usernames, "Guest Session", and "Network Account".... | 19:51 |
| Ca11um | Does Ubuntu support network accounts, like an Active Directory? | 19:51 |
| Lorphos | yes for example LDAP | 19:52 |
| e_t_ | g0th: How badly do you want Skype? If you must have Skype, does it really matter what the dependencies are? If you can do without Skype and don't want the extra packages, don't install it. | 19:52 |

| bennypr0fane | manigma77_ do you know the name of your wlan chip? | 19:55 |
| manigma77_ | no | 19:56 |
| terafl0ps | Ca11um, as far as authentication goes you have a couple choices. You can use winbind and PAM and have your linux machines authenticate against AD, or you can maintain a NIS server and have the linux machines authenticate against that. | 19:56 |
| manigma77_ | just acer niplify | 19:56 |
| celthunder | Ca11um: documents are always asynchronous unless you sync them.... | 19:56 |

| terafl0ps | NIS and NFS would let you setup centrally managed user accounts and home directories. | 19:56 |
| manigma77_ | thats the wifi chip as far as I know, the computer is an acer aspire | 19:57 |

| e_t_ | g0th: As long as you use the package manager, dependency conflicts are very rarely an issue. That's what package managers are for. I've installed Skype of x64 with no problems, several times. | 19:58 |
| manigma77_ | bennypr0fane, can i pm you? | 19:59 |
| OerHeks | !offline | manigma77_ | 19:59 |
| ubottu | manigma77_: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 19:59 |
| bennypr0fane | sure | 19:59 |
| celthunder | e_t_: package managers are for many things, dependency issues were not actually covered by early managers | 19:59 |
| Ca11um | I guess it's not common for Linux to be used in an untrustworthy environment then, eh? | 19:59 |
| jagginess | remlabm2, what xorg.conf config are you using? did you try both Card0 and Card1 with "nvidia" ? | 19:59 |
| g0th | e_t_: hmm, for me I always get dependency conflicts with ubuntu | 19:59 |
| celthunder | Ca11um: i didnt say it couldnt be done just said ive never had to do it. my stuffs locked down but i never tried to restrict that in particular | 20:00 |
| g0th | e_t_: I tried it now (to install all) and hope for the best | 20:00 |
| Ca11um | Okay, thanks. | 20:00 |
| Lorphos | wow, it takes more than 5 minutes for a request to kernel.ubuntu.com to go through | 20:00 |
| terafl0ps | In a lot of cases you can restrict access to settings by having your NIS users in a group that is not a member of some of the system groups that exist to manage specific settings. | 20:01 |
| Ca11um | So what were the things to look into; NIS, NFS, winbind? | 20:01 |
| Lorphos | the actual transfer once it starts is fast | 20:01 |
| terafl0ps | Yes. NIS or Winbind though. You probably don't want both. | 20:02 |
| tommyfun | Ca11um: If you're that worried about locking down the systems, take a look at the LTSP | 20:02 |
| Ca11um | Thanks | 20:02 |
| Ca11um | Also, what exactly is SELinux? | 20:02 |
| bluesnow | Hi, I'm wondering if I can update a 11.04 LiveUSB to a 12.04 LiveUSB without affecting the computer that I'm running the USB on | 20:02 |
| Ca11um | All I know is it's a "security" program that the NSA introduced | 20:03 |
| remlabm2 | jagginess, it is only showing one card and yes its nvidia | 20:03 |
| jagginess | remlabm2, i think you should stick with 1 of the drivers and work on it.. if you can't get nvidia to work, lemme know, and then we can try nouveau.. i haven't been on more than 1 minute about this because i never got any feedback if you edited both Card0 and Card1 to nvidia | 20:03 |
| tommyfun | SELinux is just a way to lock down a system | 20:04 |
| angel282 | Does Ubuntu have command for restoring the sources.list file? or some source.list generator? | 20:04 |
| kovu | hi guys im having a problem with pinguy 11.04 - Ive tried installing via live usb and CD and both times it hangs at the first install screen (the one that has 2 tickboxes asking if you want to update and if you want to install 3rd party software). can anyone offer advice? would it be worth installing a previous version and then updating versions inside the old version? | 20:04 |
| remlabm2 | jagginesss, im responding, and im not stepping off you rpath, im just curoius why nouveau shouldnt be used? | 20:04 |
| tommyfun | I think AppArmor is in vogue now | 20:05 |
| yeats | !selinux | 20:05 |
| ubottu | SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 20:05 |

| kovu | <kovu> ive tried installing it directly from the first boot screen & by going into the live mode first and then trying., | 20:10 |
| ikonia | kovu: we don't support pinguy here | 20:10 |
| ikonia | kovu: sorry about that, it's only ubuntu here | 20:10 |

| smithw | Hi, I bought a laptop with an nvidia card which isn't supported by nvidia official drivers yet (GT 650M). It does have the dreaded Optimus, so I know I'll have to use either Bumblebee or Ironhide. Should I: a) install BB/IH right now; b) wait for the official driver to support it; c) wait for BB/IH specifically support it? | 20:15 |
| OerHeks | smithw, the wiki says bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee there is also the #Bumblebee irc channel here on freenode, those guys are up2date | 20:16 |

| sirriffsalot | How do I update my BIOS in Ubuntu...? | 20:25 |
| sirriffsalot | from ubuntu* rather | 20:25 |
| terafl0ps | sirriffsalot: You may not be able to. I would stick to the BIOS flash utilities your computer manufacturer provides. | 20:26 |
| === RDoves is now known as RDove | ||
| guntbert | sirriffsalot: you cannot, unless the manufacturer provides an utility | 20:27 |
| cosmic | I have a new graphic card Nvidia GT 520, since i have build in the card and have conected the PC via HDMI Cable i have massiv problems . 1. My Desktop doesnt fit on the TV anymore, second sound problems with game emulators. Is anyone so kind to give me hint how to get rid of my probs !? | 20:27 |
| sirriffsalot | Lol... how lame | 20:27 |
| L3top | bioses are all different sirriffsalot... they typically have a utility from your manufacturer, you may not be able to... | 20:27 |
| sirriffsalot | Should be a software for that in ubuntu... | 20:27 |
| sirriffsalot | Laame | 20:27 |
| L3top | cosmic: overscanning is a pain to deal with... are you using the native nouveau driver or the proprietary nvidia drivers? | 20:28 |
| sirriffsalot | terafl0ps: flash utilities...? How would I go about doing that? | 20:28 |
| cosmic | hi L3top , i am using the nativ NVIDIA | 20:28 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: bios manipulation is no joke... you are best sticking to the utils | 20:28 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: yeah, better leave well enough alone | 20:28 |
| terafl0ps | Go to your computer manufacturer's website and look under the drivers for your machine. | 20:28 |
| L3top | cosmic: what version of ubuntu are you on? | 20:28 |
| sirriffsalot | 12.04 lol:) | 20:28 |
| terafl0ps | There should be a section for BIOS updates. | 20:29 |
| melodie | hi | 20:29 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: let's make it more simple then; I'm on a acer aspire x3200... Can't find how do increase the cpu speed anywhere in the bios=( | 20:29 |
| terafl0ps | You have to be absolutely certain (and I can't emphasize this enough) that you are downloading the correct BIOS. | 20:29 |
| yashwant | my empathy is not ringig while any friend is called me , please help me how to swithc on the ringigng | 20:29 |
| melodie | is there someone here who is used to the launchpad wiki ? (and would be willing to help with a actualization ?) | 20:29 |
| L3top | sirriffsalot: have you looked at the manual from your manufacturer? | 20:29 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: no.. no idea where it is haha): | 20:30 |
| cosmic | L3top, i think it is natty , 11.04 | 20:30 |

| chaotix | hi, i need a hand with this: i just deleted a virtual machine that i had in virtualbox, and clicked to delete all files, but i am not sure that everything that could be was deleted, and i need to free up space.. i created the virtual machine an hour ago and had more free space on my machine than right now after having deleted it.. i am running ubuntu 10.04, can somoene please give me a hand? thanks in advance :) | 20:31 |
| cosmic | it is the latest wich is available | 20:31 |
| cosmic | @ L3top | 20:31 |
| cosmic | its the nativ one from the nvidia homepage | 20:32 |
| terafl0ps | sirriffsalot: It's very likely that your CPUs multipliers and bus frequency are locked, and you won't be able to change them even with a BIOS update. | 20:32 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: I can't find my computer model in the website... haha:) | 20:33 |
| smerz | Does anyone's ubuntu one work well? I only got trouble with it, thinking of trying dropbox. | 20:33 |
| sirriffsalot | L3top: Nvm, found it | 20:33 |
| L3top | cosmic: that would not be native... that was why I was asking. nouveau would be native. So in the nvidia settings utility I believe there is a way to resize the desktop to deal with overscanning. | 20:33 |
| cosmic | L3top, please be so kind to explain me , how the "original" Nvidia drive can not be native ? | 20:34 |
| yashwant | hi no one use empthy for chat please sole my proble while calling why ring is not working ? | 20:34 |
| terafl0ps | sirriffsalot: I'd also say that as a general rule I won't even attempt a BIOS update unless I am doing it to fix a bug. If you do it wrong, your computer is bricked. | 20:35 |
| L3top | Native means born there vs transported there. You had to download a closed source driver from a third party source, that is not native. it is as far as you can get from it. | 20:35 |
| sirriffsalot | terafl0ps: I suppose you're right, but the only reason I want to do this is because I can't get my cpu rate any higher than 1.20Ghz | 20:35 |
| L3top | The original driver was xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 20:35 |
| orflon | hello, I'd like to go back to gnome 3.2 (the classical gnome menu, instead of the new in 3.4). | 20:36 |
| sirriffsalot | terafl0ps: cpufreq doesn't work in setting it higher, cpufreq-info -m tells me it's back at 1.20Ghz after starting my computer the next day | 20:36 |
| terafl0ps | sirriffsalot: What speed do you think it should be capable of? | 20:36 |
| adrian_2E0SDR | I just removed LXDE and it and Openbox are still in the desktop selection, how can i remove them? | 20:36 |
| sirriffsalot | terafl0ps: 2.40Ghz... | 20:37 |
| orflon | is that only a configuration in 3.4 or should I really go back to 3.2? And how dangerous is that? | 20:37 |
| sirriffsalot | terafl0ps: it says so.. | 20:37 |
| terafl0ps | Does the BIOS show the clock speed as 2.4 GHz? | 20:37 |
| L3top | !downgrade | orflon | 20:37 |
| ubottu | orflon: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 20:37 |
| cosmic | L3top, Thank you very much , do you think the nouvo driver will work better ? | 20:38 |
| L3top | I do not cosmic. The problem is the TV | 20:38 |
| orflon | L3top, so am I forced to use that kind of menu? | 20:38 |
| L3top | There is, frankly, 0 reason for manufacturers to still use overscanning. It is a byproduct of a defunct methodology. | 20:38 |
| L3top | !nounity | orflon | 20:39 |
| ubottu | orflon: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:39 |
| cosmic | Did you ran in the same kind of issue L3top ? i am using a samsung | 20:39 |
| adrian_2E0SDR | I just removed LXDE and it and Openbox are still in the desktop selection, how can i remove them? | 20:39 |
| guntbert | !repeat | adrian_2E0SDR | 20:40 |

| orflon | L3top, I'm using 12.04. Does the same apply to those? | 20:40 |
| L3top | I run into it daily. We build our own x window and have a utility to compensate for it... but desktop is going to require the nvidia tool to do it. We explicitly break that tool because it messes with our method, so I never see it and cannot walk you through it cosmic | 20:40 |
| adrian_2E0SDR | Ubottu, Sorry m8ty | 20:40 |
| L3top | I believe so orflon. | 20:41 |
| orflon | thanks | 20:41 |
| cosmic | L3top, Thank you very muc for your support ! | 20:42 |

| sixpack | hey everyone hope your day is going good.. I have a question regarding Chromium stable builds for Xubuntu 12.04.. I am using http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/stable/ubuntu is this the best ppa? Thanks! | 20:42 |
| L3top | cosmic: you mentioned audio/games what was the issue there? | 20:42 |
| terafl0ps | sirriffsalot: If the BIOS already shows the clock speed as 2.4 GHz, then I don't think a BIOS update will help anyway. It's also possible that your CPU is frequency scaling down to 1.2 GHz to save power if you aren't taxing it much. | 20:42 |
| L3top | !ppa | sixpack | 20:42 |
| ubottu | sixpack: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| sirriffsalot | terafl0ps: when I run the game and set the graphics to hardcore high the cpu ghz is still at 1.20.. | 20:43 |

| xomp | hello, would anyone know how I can go about capturing packets on my network in order to find out who is attacking my server and how? I think I'm getting ICMP flooded and have tried tcpdump but I don't know if this is a good method or not | 20:44 |
| L3top | cosmic check out our project www.linuxmce.org | 20:45 |
| L3top | It is up your alley. | 20:45 |
| guntbert | terafl0ps: it might be he has the wrong "governor" set for his cpu frequency | 20:46 |
| guntbert | xomp: tcpdump is good for that | 20:46 |
| L3top | cosmic: hdmi volume is digital, you will have no sound control from the box, it is only on the output device (like your tv). | 20:46 |
| L3top | cosmic: it is on or off... that is all. | 20:46 |
| xomp | guntbert, I'm using tcpdump -w /capture.log is this sufficient? | 20:47 |
| cosmic | L3top, so it is not a prob of alsa ? and the use of pulseaudio will not help right ? | 20:47 |
| L3top | Correct, you can only control volume at the destination device (amplifier or TV) | 20:47 |
| cosmic | L3top, it is even not possible to turn off / on | 20:47 |
| L3top | you have NO audio over hdmi? That is different. | 20:48 |
| xomp | guntbert, when dumping to a log file I'm opening the log in wireshark and for whatever reason my server is listed as the source for some of the ICMP flooding which is HIGHLY improbable so I don't want to end up dropping packets from my own box lol | 20:48 |
| L3top | cosmic: pm? | 20:48 |
| guntbert | xomp: I'd use tcpdump -v , but write it to some place else (*not the root*) - and *don't let that run for a long time*!! (it might fill your file system) | 20:49 |
| xomp | yeah I don't write it to root. When running verbosely it just fills my console with tons of data that scrolls so fast I can't tell what's going on. | 20:49 |
| guntbert | xomp: sorry, I'm on my way out - Good luck :-) | 20:50 |
| xomp | since whoever is attacking our server is doing it with a botnet that has thousands of addresses | 20:50 |
| xomp | ah thanks guntbert | 20:50 |
| sirriffsalot | terafl0ps: no, but all I want to do is increase the cpu rate... | 20:51 |

| j7 | ultrixx, how do I check? | 21:23 |
| Omen_20 | hi everyone :) finally got my wireless working in Ubuntu. Hadnt been using it since 11.04. Missed it | 21:23 |
| ultrixx | in terminal type java -version | 21:24 |
| j7 | version 6, I'm using version 6, ultrixx | 21:24 |
| terafl0ps | sirriffsalot: I think ondemand is a sensible default setting for basically any system unless you actually run into problems with frequency scaling, overheating, or power consumption on a laptop. | 21:25 |
| LinuX2half | I have a little application called "preload" installed but I cannot seem to access the interface. | 21:26 |
| LinuX2half | I'm not sure if it's integrated in the command line. | 21:27 |
| terafl0ps | I had one Dell laptop with a 2.4 GHz core 2 duo that literally could not be kept at 100% CPU utilization without overheating and shutting down because Dell didn't give the machine big enough heatsinks or fast enough fans. | 21:27 |
| ultrixx | j7: does this error occur when starting processing or when starting an app that was written with it | 21:28 |
| j7 | ultrixx: when starting processing | 21:29 |
| j7 | ultrixx: I think I installed the sun java jdk and not the open jdk | 21:31 |
| praeludium | Is there a way to install Ubuntu on Natty? I seems to have GLib issues. | 21:32 |
| terafl0ps | j7, The error sounds like it could be caused by trying to run a class with the wrong version of Java. I would double check what version of Java your version of processing requires. | 21:33 |

| blackmatrix_ny | hey all...any alternatives to using gnome-keyring on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 21:42 |
| Boreeas | For some reason, the "at"-key (alt_gr+q) stopped working for me. Pressing it does nothing. Does anyone know how to fix that? | 21:43 |
| blackmatrix_ny | https://gist.github.com/947237 <---- Huge security vulnerability in ubuntu | 21:45 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc, you should be able to set your default gateway to the IP address of your wireless router and have it work. | 21:45 |
| Gnea | blackmatrix_ny: dude, that's from 2008. 4 years ago.. | 21:47 |
| raidhtc | terafl0ps my wireless card is set to dhcp and my wired card has manual ip on a network without a gateway. | 21:47 |
| raidhtc | when i disable eth0 internet works | 21:48 |
| raidhtc | when i enable eth0 :) i dont have internet | 21:48 |
| blackmatrix_ny | Gnea, yup...and it has still not been addressed, and it really makes ubuntu a laughing stock when security is the important thing that they are flaunting | 21:48 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc, What subnets do your wireless and wired networks use? | 21:49 |
| blackmatrix_ny | Gnea, not to mention the attitude of the developers that if you are already logged in then everything is up for grabs which is a microsoft way of thinking about security | 21:49 |
| oconnore | blackmatrix_ny: the _old_ microsoft way of security | 21:49 |

| DarwinSurvivor | MattFromJax: what have you tried so far (and what were the results)? | 21:52 |
| raidhtc | terafl0ps, brb | 21:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MattFromJax: also, did it work in a previous verions (if so, which version(s)) | 21:52 |
| blackmatrix_ny | how are we to recommend ubuntu to others when ubuntu can't even obviously encrypt and save your passwords...this really suck | 21:53 |
| MattFromJax | DarwinSurvivor: Adjusting FastClick, changing double tap times, disabling third button | 21:53 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc: can you also pastebin what you get from ifconfig too ? | 21:53 |
| MattFromJax | DarwinSurvivor: Unknown. First time with Linux and touchpad. It is a MacBook 5,1 if that helps. | 21:54 |
| raidhtc | test | 21:54 |
| raidhtc | did i DC at all? | 21:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MattFromJax: by "tripple click" do you mean tapping 3 times, or tapping with 3 fingers? | 21:54 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc: You appeared to be in the channel the whole time. | 21:54 |
| blackmatrix_ny | I mean how easy it would be for a malicious website or malware to run a command on keyring and get all your passwords | 21:54 |
| raidhtc | terafl0ps, strange, sec i will pastebin | 21:55 |
| oconnore | blackmatrix_ny: that's probably the big issue -- ubuntu developers aren't facing a large malware issue yet, and are therefore lulled into a false sense of security. | 21:55 |
| blackmatrix_ny | and the complete reluctance of ubuntu developers regarding this issue which was raised a long time ago and never been addressed is so discomforting | 21:55 |
| euvaldo | Hello, something is wrong with my flash plugin. I'm using xubuntu 11.10. It worked fine from the CD, but it isn't anymore after I installed the system. I reinstalled the plugin lots of times and nothing happened. I've been searching google but all tutorials I've found seem pretty old. Youtube videos, for instance, simply don't show up. Are there any clues on what is happening, what should I do in order to make it work normally? | 21:56 |
| MattFromJax | DarwinSurvivor: tapping 3 times. | 21:56 |
| blackmatrix_ny | oconnore, I'm lulled too by migrating to Ubuntu for better security to find out that I am more exposed now | 21:56 |

| blackmatrix_ny | oconnore, I was actually working on a proof of concept to embed the python script into a javascript and gather all the passwords...but my javascript skills are weak but it's very possible for somebody with better JS skills than me | 21:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MattFromJax: oh, I've never tried that, sorry. I thought you meant 3-finger tap (which I have) | 21:58 |
| praeludium | Is there a way to install Ubuntu on Natty? I seems to have GLib issues. | 21:59 |
| oconnore | blackmatrix_ny: you mean to run the script from a website? I would think firefox wouldn't allow that. | 21:59 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc, What's happening is your wired router becomes the default gateway when you connect. | 21:59 |
| MattFromJax | DarwinSurvivor: thanks anyways. How would you change the address in a browser bar? The content of the textbox isn't selected on focus. | 22:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MattFromJax: you mean Ctrl+L? | 22:00 |
| raidhtc | thats what i was thinking. how can i override this terafl0ps ? make default gateway my wlan0 connection | 22:00 |
| blackmatrix_ny | oconnore, first i would write the script content to a file and then execute the script... | 22:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: I don't think that would work running from javascript because javascript is sandboxed. otherwise you could just as easily write a javascript that would download the users' e-mails from thunderbird! | 22:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MattFromJax: have you looked at the synaptics documentation? There have been quite a few additions in the last 6 months or so, it may very well support tripple-click with a simply xorg adjustment | 22:02 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc, you may be able to configure DHCP on your router not to provide a default gateway. | 22:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: if a website can write an executable script and then run it with the same permissions as your user account, you have MUCH bigger problems... | 22:03 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc, You could also use static addresses and not assign a gateway in the wired config. | 22:03 |
| === andrea is now known as Guest3168 | ||
| raidhtc | my wired router has disabled dhcp. i use static adressing. i tried putting 0.0.0.0 as gateway adress but it didnt work. if i assign blank , i cannot save it through GUI in ubuntu | 22:03 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, im not much of a hacker but if there are python apis to extract the password list and using those apis doesnt require root id then any refined hacker can exploit that easily | 22:03 |
| raidhtc | terafl0ps, my wired router has disabled dhcp. i use static adressing. i tried putting 0.0.0.0 as gateway adress but it didnt work. if i assign blank , i cannot save it through GUI in ubuntu | 22:04 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, i have read somewhere that you can write files using JS, can you change mod of files using JS too ? | 22:04 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc, you should be able to set this up in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:05 |
| yeats | raidhtc: you still need a gateway address... | 22:05 |
| raidhtc | terafl0ps, thanks i will give it a try | 22:05 |
| terafl0ps | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 22:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: root has *nothing* to do with it. those passwords are saved in a file that is 100% accessible to the running user (though encrypted). if someone is able to even read the encrypted content, let alone access it while decrypted, they could just as easily hijack your entire web browser and watch all your passwords as you log into websites | 22:06 |
| yeats | raidhtc: no need for /etc/network/interfaces, just enter the IP of the router as the gateway | 22:06 |
| terafl0ps | See the section on static configuration. | 22:06 |
| MattFromJax | DarwinSurvivor: thanks. | 22:06 |
| terafl0ps | yeats, I think he wants the LAN to be private and static. | 22:06 |
| fenrig | Hi i'm looking for a fast system wide proxy switcher (as I use Google chrome) (btw I'm using lucid) | 22:07 |
| uskerine | hi, very basic question (new into ubuntu distro)... how can I get a console? | 22:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: the newest javascript allows for websites to save *data* on your computer that is then accessible to the same site later (basically a really big cookie). Javascript can NOT access ANY files that were not created by that website, nor can it execute anything outside of the javascript sandbox | 22:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MattFromJax: no problem, the synaptics documentation (and man page) are FULL of different options and features that you can enable for some very cool setups on touchpads | 22:07 |
| terafl0ps | yeats, His WLAN connection is the only valid route to the Internet. | 22:08 |
| fenrig | is there a good system wide proxy switcher for ubuntu | 22:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | fenrig: open network manager and you should be able to change the proxy. if you find an application that does not respect it, please file a bug report | 22:09 |

| fenrig | DarwinSurvivor: well I can't use profiles in there :o | 22:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | uskerine: Ctrl+Alt+T | 22:10 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, so the file is encrypted which is a good thing to know. but the gnome-keyring still has apis that can be used through any python scripts running under the user id in plain text format. Why not encrypt those as well and whichever requesting app will know how to decrypt and use the pwd ? | 22:10 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, btw, what is the filename of the file where the pwds are stored in encrypted format ? | 22:11 |
| uskerine | oh great, thanks darwinsurvivor | 22:11 |
| uskerine | :) | 22:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: because A) the whole point of gnome-keyring is so each application doesn't have to use its own encryption and B) once someone can execute a script with your credentials, it's game over anyways! | 22:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: I'd have to look that up | 22:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: hmm, I don't have it installed currently, but I believe it is somewheres in .config/keyring or something like that (still looking) | 22:13 |
| Boreeas | DarwinSurvivor: Well, not entirely true. If you don't reuse your passwords, someone being able to access the keyring would still hurt | 22:13 |

| DarwinSurvivor | Boreeas: it may hurt a *little* more, but once a malicious person/script has gotten your credentials, they can do just about anything including capture your entire firefox session | 22:16 |
| terafl0ps | raidhtc: Is that working? | 22:16 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, yea, you're right...it's really game over on that scenario :-) my lack of JS understanding has really put me under the impression that it can write scripts and execute them | 22:16 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: Running update a couple of times should fix itself. | 22:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: you can probably write a python interpreter that would allow you to run python scripts, but the python script wouldn't be able to access anything outside of what firefox lets it | 22:17 |

| alam | i am a bit lost in all the text on the screen :/ seems very busy in here | 22:17 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, outside of firefox directory right ? btw what keyring do you use then if you don't use gnome-keyring ? | 22:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Lunar_Lander: please provide a copy of the output that quoted those 3 numbers, they mean nothing out of context | 22:18 |
| Lunar_Lander | well I went to software center and wanted to download GIMP | 22:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: I don't use one, I have my firefox passwords save in my firefox password manager and everything else in keepassx | 22:19 |
| terafl0ps | alam: I had the exact opposite problem. My headphones didn't work, but my speakers did. Plugging in headphones cut off my speakers, but no sound came through the headphones... | 22:19 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bu; cat /etc/apt/sources.list.bu | sort -u > /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:19 |
| alam | hummm any ideas on how to fix :/ been trying to read up but new to linux was using windwos till very recent | 22:19 |
| Lunar_Lander | and on the description page it said that 28 MB had to be downloaded and that the program would occupy about 52 MB after installation, so I clicked "install" and when the download began it said "X of 72 MB have been downloaded" | 22:19 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: then apt-get update should not have the problem anymore. | 22:20 |
| alam | got rid of that as i wanted some freedom | 22:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: not the firefox directory, the firefox *sandbox*. the sandbox prevents the JS from even accessing other tabs that are open in firefox | 22:20 |
| alam | Uploaded my Alsa script report :/ | 22:20 |
| alam | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5f...e6f1931ce0826f | 22:20 |
| terafl0ps | alam: I don't know what the root cause is, but I worked around it by running alsamixer from a command line and then muting my master volume, changing my master volume, and then muting and unmuting my headphone volume. | 22:20 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, gotcha...hey men, you just restored my confidence in ubuntu :-) | 22:21 |
| L3top | Yes alam, it is busy in here, this is why it is best to limit your communication to a single line, with details of your problem. | 22:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Lunar_Lander: there could be a number of reasons. inaccurate calcuation of dependencies, cache updating, repo updating, etc. | 22:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah thanks! | 22:22 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, does chrome also operate like that or it allows script execution outside the sandbox | 22:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: glad to hear it. if you have any other questions about firefox's sandbox, check out their irc channel (or forums). they are *very* open about their security practices | 22:22 |
| terafl0ps | alam: I have a feeling the same procedure might work for you if you do the same thing only with the speaker channel in alsamixer instead of the headphone channel. | 22:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: I don't know of ANY browsers that allow javascript to execute outside the sandbox. even IE6 had protections there (not perfect mind you) | 22:23 |
| alam | where and how do i access alsamixer | 22:24 |
| alam | ? | 22:24 |
| terafl0ps | alam: Open a terminal by pressing "ctrl+alt+T" | 22:25 |

| DarwinSurvivor | uskerine: what is the use-case? | 22:28 |
| oconnore | blackmatrix_ny: yeah *that* would terrible, but still, someone that walks up to my laptop with a program on a usb key should not be able to dump all my passwords.

| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: so you have no problem with them being able to download all your e-mails, copy your tax returns and steal your browser history with that USB drive? | 22:29 |

| L3top | Lady-Tux: I do not follow your question. Can you restate it? what is "my folder" | 22:30 |
| blackmatrix_ny | oconnore, true but If a person has that intention and ability to run a script then even if you encrypt your passwords then they can install a backdoor or keylogger or much more stuffs to get your information... | 22:30 |

| alam | doesnt seem to have made any difference - the settings were all on but i still muted them and refreshed and started them again | 22:32 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, btw, did you mean that you were going to look into the idea that passwords using the gnome-keyring api will only be available to the application that stored the password only ? | 22:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: basically: Don't run software you don't trust. if you REALLY must, use a virtual machine or guest-session to do it! | 22:32 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: for example, they would not be able to read my gpg encrypted emails, or my gpg encrypted tax returns | 22:32 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: if my passphrase is compromised, all of that data is exposed. | 22:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: who is "they"? | 22:33 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: this person who walked up and ran the python script | 22:33 |
| terafl0ps | alam: Did you try changing the master volume, muting the headphones, muting the speaker, changing the master volume again, and unmuting the speaker? | 22:33 |
| L3top | "will be the open that'll be opened" is just not clear Lady-Tux. I am sorry if there is a language barrier... are you saying any folder you attempt to open somehow opens virtual box, or that you are in virtualbox and... something else is happening? | 22:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: that's why you don't leave your computer unattended! | 22:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: or at the *very* least, lock the screen when you walk away | 22:33 |
| alam | terafl0ps: yup... muted and unmuted them all | 22:34 |
| grpace | C'mon folks... Just a simple question about Ubuntu One Cloud Storage??? No one willing to help ?? | 22:34 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: that's not the point, it's a retarded program design | 22:34 |
| L3top | !patience | grpace | 22:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: I don't understand why you are so upset about the keyring, but don't care about any of the OTHER stuff they have access to! | 22:34 |
| ubottu | grpace: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 22:34 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: why expose my passwords when it's not necessary? | 22:34 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: because anything I actually care about is encrypted with gpg | 22:34 |
| Lady-Tux | that's it sorry for the typo i'm a bit sleepy ..... when i open my folder somehow vbox app will open | 22:34 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: as long as the passphrase is secret, nothing else matters | 22:34 |
| grpace | Thank you, ubottu. | 22:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: and do you use a separate gpg key for every applications files? | 22:35 |
| alam | terafl0ps: | 22:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: and how are you decrypting these files? if you use an ecryptfs-style setup, as soon as the encrypted files are mounted, they are visible anyways | 22:35 |
| alam | whoops... | 22:35 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: what are you talking about? the gpg program... | 22:35 |
| terafl0ps | alam: I'm not sure then. There have been a fair number of problems with audio in this release. | 22:35 |
| L3top | Where are you clicking this folder from Lady-Tux, and what version of ubuntu are you on, and which Desktop Environment? | 22:35 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: in a memory mounted tmpfs | 22:36 |
| oconnore | which i unmount before i leave | 22:36 |
| VOA | test | 22:36 |
| alam | terafl0ps: okay... no worries :)) thanks for your help | 22:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: yes, and those memory-mounted tmpfs's are visible just like any outher mounted partition, so if any application has the tmpfs mounted, all the others can see the contents anyways | 22:36 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: for that short period of time, yes. I fail to see what your point is. | 22:37 |
| Lady-Tux | at my panel next to Applications....and that is Places > "ladytux folder" when i click it vbox app will open....i got ubuntu 10.04 lts | 22:37 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, is it possible to make the key-ring provide password only to the application that saved it ? | 22:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | if your security practice is to unmount your gpg tmpfs when you leave, then either lock your gnome-keyring as well or just lock the login session | 22:37 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: it's the difference between exposing short peices of information vs. exposing everything I have ever encrypted. | 22:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: not that I know of, how would it authenticate an application anyways? | 22:38 |
| ascend716 | i upgraded and am screwed now i cant get pass 640X 480 even on the off chance i am lucky enough to boot to last working version | 22:38 |
| ascend716 | i have no cd roms and cannot boot through usb | 22:38 |
| oconnore | *pieces | 22:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ascend716: how did you perform the initial installation? | 22:38 |
| ascend716 | ANYWAY toi go back to 10.10 the last version that worked | 22:39 |
| Lady-Tux | at my panel next to Applications....and that is Places > "ladytux folder" when i click it vbox app will open....i got ubuntu 10.04 lts L3top | 22:39 |
| uskerine | DarwinSurvivor, any recommended web site or faq to customize user accounts to limit their usage to the minimum (libreoffice & firefox) | 22:39 |
| uskerine | ? | 22:39 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, there must be a way for the creating app to have the private key. And the public key and encrypted password would be stored in the keyring. So only that app can decrypt that password | 22:39 |
| ascend716 | i did through the update center | 22:39 |
| L3top | Lady-Tux: can you right click the folder and look through the properties for a possible answer? | 22:39 |
| ascend716 | upgraded to 11.04 and then 11.10 | 22:39 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, or some similar mechanism like that | 22:39 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> | 22:39 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> same problem | 22:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blackmatrix_ny: then you need a way for the application to store a public/private key that the other applications can't get to and you are back to square 1 | 22:40 |
| ascend716 | the initial install was done when my cd drive still worked | 22:40 |
| ejo | Is there a way to open an additional instance of a GUI program (in this case, my database administration tool)? Normally clicking on it in the launcher opens a maximum of one instance. | 22:40 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> nothing happend | 22:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | uskerine: is this a usability (make it simply for the user) request, or a security (they MUST NOT run those applications) request? | 22:40 |
| ejo | Would it be specific to each program? I'm working with pgadmin3 for postgresql on ubuntu 12.04. | 22:40 |
| Nogal | Hello everyone; I've got a few issues, fairly newbie, that I was wondering if I could get some help with. | 22:40 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, right... | 22:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: try middle-clicking | 22:40 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: there has to be a way to limit arbitrary program access to the full keyring... | 22:40 |
| oconnore | I don't know why you can't see the value of that | 22:40 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: Please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:40 |
| uskerine | it is a combination of usability and security (to avoid them play with the system and hence reducing the overhead of mantaining the server). it will be a single server for 10 users | 22:41 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: thank you! I don't have a middle button configured on my mouse | 22:41 |
| ascend716 | is there anyway to mount and iso and get it to reinstall old version? | 22:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: what you are asking for is per-application sandboxing. outside of cellphones, this isn't done on ANY operating system | 22:41 |
| blackmatrix_ny | oconnore, but how would you go about that...im still thinking of ways | 22:41 |
| CaptObvious | hey guys, I installed the official ATI graphics drivers on ubuntu server by using apt-get install fglrxinfo fglrx-amdcccle and then rebooted, but fglrxinfo is giving me "Error: unable to open display (null)" - any ideas? | 22:41 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: no i'm not. I'm asking for per application keyring limits. | 22:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: try clicking the left and right at the same time, it should emulate a middle mouse click | 22:41 |
| ascend716 | the only displays that ever worked for me were in 8.04 and 10.10 | 22:41 |
| ejo | CaptObvious: if you can get by without fglrx, just skip it! | 22:41 |
| ejo | CaptObvious: especially on a server OS install you won't need 3D acceleration... | 22:42 |
| ascend716 | i have partial use in 11.10 | 22:42 |
| Nogal | Does anyone know how to take the wireless that my router is recieving and to connect another PC via lan to my ubuntu laptop to give said pc a bridge to the wireless? | 22:42 |
| CaptObvious | I can't, otherwise I could | 22:42 |
| CaptObvious | yes, I will | 22:42 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> http://pastebin.gr/1844 | 22:42 |
| mkquist | anyone know if gimp 2.8 can be compiled for 11.04? | 22:42 |
| CaptObvious | I wouldn't be asking if I didn't need it | 22:42 |
| Lady-Tux | L3top, same i can't do a right click on it ..... it still open vbox application if i do it | 22:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | mkquist: doubtful (at least easily), it probably needs a lot of updated libraries. probably easier just to upgrade to 12.04 | 22:42 |
| blackmatrix_ny | DarwinSurvivor, does firefox or keypassx save the pwds in similar fashion like gnome-keyring ? | 22:43 |
| L3top | Lady-Tux: can you navigate to this folder in command line? | 22:44 |
| Cerin | I'm running 12.04 on a macbook. Gnome-shell crashed, making the UI unusable, so I did a hard reboot and now it looks like my machine is unbootable. Selecting the recovery kernel from the grub menu ends with the message "edd informatino not available". Please, can someone help me recover my machine? | 22:44 |
| Lady-Tux | L3top, how? | 22:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oconnore: unless someone can come up with a way to positively identify an application, isolating passwords per-application isn't going to be possible without the user supplying a separate password for each one | 22:44 |
| L3top | one moment Lady-Tux | 22:44 |
| yooha | hello guys | 22:44 |
| Nogal | anyone know how to bridge a wireless to wired connnection in ubuntu? | 22:44 |
| blackmatrix_ny | Cerin, booting from usb ? | 22:45 |
| yooha | when i type some site its takes me to localhost any idea how to fix this | 22:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | uskerine: and why can't you simply remove the applications? | 22:45 |
| Cerin | blackmatrix_ny: no, just the hdd | 22:45 |
| blackmatrix_ny | Cerin, try booting from a ubuntu usb | 22:46 |
| === len is now known as Guest91171 | ||
| blackmatrix_ny | Cerin, maybe some files corrupted in hdd | 22:46 |
| CaptObvious | no ideas on "Error: unable to open display (null)"? | 22:46 |
| stars69 | hi what is the package name for flash anyone? | 22:46 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal, take a look at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.5.html | 22:46 |
| LordOfTime | !flash | stars69 | 22:46 |
| ubottu | stars69: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 22:46 |
| stars69 | LordOfTime, thanks | 22:47 |
| yooha | guys any one knows why when i type some site in the bar adress its takes me to localhost ?? | 22:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: what IP address do you see if you run "ping google.com" in the terminal? | 22:47 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: thank you | 22:48 |
| terafl0ps | You're welcome. | 22:48 |
| oconnore | DarwinSurvivor: pathname would be better than nothing. the user can't install to /usr/bin, and most application permissions will be to /usr/bin/whatever. | 22:48 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: Thanks again -- no result from the "both buttons click". Maybe I should pursue the mouse click emulation first? Is it the default of the 12.04 launcher to open additional application instances on middle-click? | 22:49 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: this PING google.com (74.125.79.138) 56(84) bytes of data. | 22:49 |
| uskerine | DarwinSurvivor, can "dashHome" be removed? | 22:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: it should be. there may also be a right-click menu option to open another instance (I don't have my 12.04 machine in front of me) | 22:50 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor : this PING google.com (74.125.79.138) 56(84) bytes of data. | 22:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: ok, now if you run "wget google.com; firefox index.html" what do you see? | 22:51 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: sorry lost connection before i even started lol | 22:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | uskerine: possibly, but there wouldn't be much left of unity if you did. | 22:52 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor : this --2012-05-20 22:51:57-- http://google.com/ | 22:52 |
| yooha | Résolution de google.com... 74.125.79.139, 74.125.79.101, 74.125.79.100, ... | 22:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: something should have opened in firefox, what did it look like? | 22:53 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: can you help explain this link to me? | 22:53 |
| yooha | yeh in chromuim its the page i jsut downloaded | 22:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | uskerine: are these workstations that the same person will be using over and over? | 22:53 |
| uskerine | DarwinSurvivor, I want an interface as simple as possible, office icons, firefox icon, and home documents icon. I hope that it would be easier to use for the users | 22:54 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> http://pastebin.gr/1844 | 22:54 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> ?????? | 22:54 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: If the launcher's right-click menu for this particular app doesn't contain any option for opening an additional instance, is that then just something the app itself doesn't offer? If that's likely then maybe I won't overly trouble myself over this. | 22:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | uskerine: you could always just put those launcher in the launcher bar (and take out the others) and tell them to just launch stuff from there. | 22:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: which application? | 22:54 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: It is describing how you would bridge two interfaces in your /etc/network/interfaces file. The example config makes a bridge out of all available interfaces on the machine. | 22:55 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: pgadmin3 -- it's the GUI admin client for postgreSQL. | 22:55 |
| terafl0ps | You can think of a network switch as a multiport bridge. | 22:55 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: naturally I asked in #postgresql but they're not too big on the GUI client ;) | 22:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: hmm, never used it. try it with firefox, if you get firefox to do it but not your tool, then it may be the tool | 22:55 |
| Nogal | I tried adding the "auto br0" code to my /etc/network/intferfaces | 22:56 |
| Nogal | however when I tried sudo ifup br0 it told me that it cannot find the device | 22:56 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: yes, Firefox offers an "open a new window" option -- that's one of the data points that made me think that offering that option or not is on a per-application basis in Ubuntu | 22:56 |
| terafl0ps | A bridge passes frames from one interface to the other if the destination MAC address lies on the opposite side of the bridge, otherwise it doesn't let the frame across. | 22:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: then it could very well be an application limitation. try contacting the developer of the GUI | 22:57 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: and of course the default Terminal application does as well, that was my other hint | 22:57 |
| adrian_2E0SDR | I have removed LXDE & Openbox, but there are still bits left behind, plus they still show in the Desktop selection, how can i remove all traces of them? | 22:57 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: that was a bit over my head... | 22:57 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: yes, thanks again. That's it for now! | 22:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: no problem | 22:58 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: whats next ?? ; ] | 22:58 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: br0 probably doesn't exist yet. | 22:58 |
| terafl0ps | br0 is the name of the bridge interface. | 22:59 |
| Nogal | how do i make it exist? | 22:59 |
| terafl0ps | You would need to do "brctl addbr br0" first. | 22:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: when you see localhost, does the address bar change to localhost? | 22:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: or just the page content? | 22:59 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: noo | 22:59 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: just page content | 22:59 |
| Nogal | thank you -- getting the package now | 23:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: how do you know it's localhost? do you have a webserver running or something like that? | 23:00 |
| Cerin | blackmatrix_ny: even the live cd seems to be locking up. I've tried the "recover a broken system" and nothing happened for 10 minutes | 23:00 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: yeh apache | 23:00 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: this is kind of an advanced setup. You might want to read through http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge before diving right in. | 23:00 |
| yooha | buti rember i removed it i guess DarwinSurvivor | 23:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: could you provide a screenshot by any chance? | 23:01 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: i still have it | 23:01 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: sure hang on | 23:01 |
| Cerin | blackmatrix_ny: and now I can't even get the CD out because grub doesn't support the eject button | 23:02 |
| blackmatrix_ny | Cerin, don't you have a USB ? | 23:03 |
| scar3crow | I have lost rear audio after installing ampache and lamp stack... what did I do wrong pls? | 23:04 |
| Cerin | blackmatrix_ny: macbooks don't work with ubuntu live usbs | 23:04 |
| Cerin | blackmatrix_ny: something about them using efi, whereas the live usbs expect something else | 23:04 |
| blackmatrix_ny | Cerin, I'm not sure how to go about debugging your grub then...maybe other folks who know well about it might help...sorry mate | 23:04 |
| ejo | DarwinSurvivor: I overlooked the obvious! ahaha. /usr/bin/pgadmin3 launches an additional instance without complaint or error. | 23:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: well, there you go then :) | 23:05 |
| LinTux | anybody here using GNURADIO | 23:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: actually, if running the command again works, then turning on middle-mouse-button-emulation will probably work! | 23:06 |
| Cerin | I'm running 12.04 on a macbook. Gnome-shell crashed, making the UI unusable, so I did a hard reboot and now it looks like my machine is unbootable. Selecting the recovery kernel from the grub menu ends with the message "edd information not available". Please, can someone help me recover my machine? | 23:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ejo: I think the "second window" and "second terminal" items in firefox & terminal are ADDED by the applications. | 23:06 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: You do not have duplicate sources as near as I can tell. You should not receive an error after apt-get update | 23:07 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> but the problem remains, | 23:09 |
| OerHeks | L3top, i see 1 line without gr. >> deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security universe multiverse main restricted | 23:09 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: i sent u it pls accept it | 23:09 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: thank you, the document let me know that it is not currently supported for wireless. unfortunately this is something windows does do out of the box... | 23:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: sent me it? | 23:10 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal, what are you trying to ultimately accomplish? | 23:10 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: can you please post the line which says it is duplicated? | 23:10 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> what is happening can you please explain??? | 23:10 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor the screen capture | 23:10 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top>yes | 23:10 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: ultimately i'm trying to repair another laptop. i think i'm just going to reformat ext4 and start over though. | 23:10 |
| L3top | It appears that because you have a gr and a non gr link, it shows as duplication as OerHeks suggests. | 23:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: please use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | 23:11 |
| Nogal | i installed 12.04 on it last night and everything is sluggish as hell, unity keeps crashing | 23:11 |

| terafl0ps | Nogal: So you have one machine with a working wireless ethernet connection to the Internet, and you want to make that Internet connection available to a second machine through a wired link? | 23:12 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> ok??? can you read this? | 23:13 |
| Nogal | yes | 23:13 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> ok??? can you read the lines | 23:13 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: type sudo -s and then: cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bu; cat /etc/apt/sources.list.bu | grep 'gr.arch' > /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:13 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: Ok. We can do that without bridging. | 23:13 |
| L3top | that is probably easier than walking you through editing as root | 23:14 |
| Nogal | I'm interested in hearing more... | 23:15 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> ok | 23:15 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> then?? apt-get update as root?? | 23:15 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/998190/ | 23:15 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> or exit from root and then sudo apt-get update | 23:15 |

| Nogal | i really appreciate this by the way | 23:17 |
| alexandr0s | ok | 23:17 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: Yes, but you may need to make some changes depending on the configuration of your Ubuntu machine with the wireless connection. | 23:17 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: here you go http://imagebin.org/213182 | 23:17 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: It assumes your wireless card is wlan0 | 23:17 |
| terafl0ps | and your wired card is eth0 | 23:17 |

| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: and that happens in *all* your browsers? | 23:18 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: So you could give your second machine an IP address of 10.1.1.2. | 23:19 |
| terafl0ps | and point the second machine to 10.1.1.1 as its default gateway | 23:19 |
| Jirayabetter | the version is intel GM 965 | 23:19 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/998196/ | 23:19 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: you got it ? | 23:19 |
| Jirayabetter | can somebody help? | 23:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: yes, I got the link. does it do that in ALL your browsers? | 23:20 |
| MestreLion | guys... I'm having a problem with Aisleriot (Solitaire) and the launcher... | 23:20 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: Ah. When I ran the script I did it as root. You need to put a "sudo" in front of all of those commands. | 23:21 |
| Jirayabetter | my question was ignored? | 23:21 |
| MestreLion | guys... I'm having a problem with Aisleriot (Solitaire) and the launcher... if I pin it to the launcher, it stops identifying windows... i can launch, but I cannot list or control its windows... is this a known issue? | 23:21 |
| Jirayabetter | \connect | 23:21 |
| escott | !ask | Jirayabetter | 23:21 |
| ubottu | Jirayabetter: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:21 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: not all some sites | 23:22 |
| Jirayabetter | ok. i've to abilitaty the 3d acceleration on an integrated chipset. the version is intel GM 965 | 23:22 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: and this one included | 23:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: ok, but what about other *browsers* (firefox, etc)? | 23:22 |
| Cerin | blackmatrix_ny: I finally got it to boot the live cd. what do I do now that I | 23:23 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: i have only chromuim and i rember the FF does that too tho | 23:23 |
| escott | Jirayabetter, abilitaty?? | 23:23 |
| MestreLion | So far it it only happend to Aisleriot. And worse: if I unpin it while some instances are running, the windows get completely lost (not in the launcher at all, or in ATL+TAB), if I minimuze them they just disappear | 23:23 |
| Jirayabetter | sry enable | 23:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: can you pastebin your /etc/hosts file? | 23:23 |
| escott | Jirayabetter, you don't need to do anything to enable acceleration on intel chipsets | 23:24 |
| Jirayabetter | but i've installed playonlinux and he said the 3d acceleration is not enables | 23:24 |
| Cerin | blackmatrix_ny: *I'm in? I've entered rescue mode, and I can load a shell, reinstaller, reinstall grub, etc | 23:24 |
| Jirayabetter | enabled | 23:24 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: sorry my connection crashed there, I figured out "sudo su" for this one | 23:25 |
| === shinao1 is now known as shinao1_ | ||
| === shinao1_ is now known as shinao1__ | ||
| terafl0ps | Nogal: Did all of those commands run successfully on the connected machine? | 23:25 |
| Nogal | yes | 23:25 |
| LinuX2half | how do you shut down the computer? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, it seems there's no option for it. | 23:25 |
| escott | Jirayabetter, intel GMA is a very poor 3d chipset | 23:25 |
| terafl0ps | Great. | 23:25 |
| Nogal | linux2half: top right gear, click it for a menu | 23:26 |
| === shinao1__ is now known as shinao1 | ||
| Jirayabetter | so i can try to ignore it and install the game? | 23:26 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: Now give the second machine an IP of 10.1.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. | 23:26 |
| LinuX2half | Nogal: All I see is two accounts | 23:26 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: ok | 23:26 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list again. Keeping in mind, that this message is harmless... and nothing bad will happen to your system, perhaps we can figure out why it sees duplicates. | 23:26 |
| Jirayabetter | world of warcraft runned successfully on that machone | 23:26 |
| Nogal | there should be a gear next to the accounts | 23:26 |
| LinuX2half | Nogal: User accounts, Switch user, no shutdown option | 23:27 |
| Nogal | ok teraflops do I do that through etc/network/interfaces? | 23:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: if you are having difficulties getting files onto pastebin, use pastebinit | 23:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !pastebinit | yooha | 23:27 |
| ubottu | yooha: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:27 |
| Nogal | linux2half try running an update to see if for some reason it's missing | 23:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: intall that, then just run "pastebinit /etc/hosts" | 23:27 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/998205/ | 23:28 |
| Cerin | blackmatrix_ny: thanks, I'm not sure how, but that fixed it | 23:28 |
| LinuX2half | Nogal: nope, I run the command apt-get update but it didn't detect anything wrong or install anything. | 23:28 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: The default gateway for the second machine should be 10.1.1.1, and you'll have to Go into it's /etc/resolv.conf and point it to a valid DNS server so it can resolve I hostnames. | 23:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: hmm, that looks normal | 23:29 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> http://pastebin.gr/1845 | 23:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: can you run "traceroute google.com"? | 23:29 |
| kuranta | hey, I'm having trouoble after trying to update to precise | 23:30 |
| kuranta | can anyone help? | 23:30 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: it tells me "do not edit this by hand -- changes will be overwritten." | 23:30 |
| LordOfTime | !details | kuranta | 23:30 |
| ubottu | kuranta: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:30 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: network manager overwrites it if you change settings there, but since this is a temporary configuration for troubleshooting the second machine anyway, you can safely ignore it. :) | 23:31 |
| kuranta | Sorry! The update was going fine until it asked me to restart. When I did so, my mouse and keyboard weren't working properly, no icons were visible, and the background to my desktop was solid blue | 23:31 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/998210/ | 23:31 |
| Nogal | ok... what changes do i make? | 23:31 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: is there a nameserver listed? | 23:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: ok, is "google.com" one of the addresse that works or doesn't work in chromium? | 23:32 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: it does work | 23:32 |
| kuranta | I tried booting from an old kernel, and the mouse worked but now absolutely nothing was working once I logged in. | 23:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: oops. can you try traceroute with one that doesn't work :P | 23:33 |
| yooha | ok | 23:33 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/998211/ | 23:33 |
| Nogal | that's all that is in resolv.conf | 23:34 |
| kuranta | anyone? | 23:34 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: add a line that reads "nameserver 208.67.222.222" | 23:34 |

| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: ok, who is your internet service provider? | 23:37 |
| kuranta | anyone want to help? my computer is just totally borked after attempting to update to 12.04 | 23:37 |
| indian | terafl0ps, windows 7 and windows xp | 23:37 |
| nydel | goddard: i doubt i can help but i'm taking a look | 23:37 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: im from morroco and im using my phone as a modem | 23:37 |
| nydel | kuranta: tell me the problem | 23:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: OH, that would have been good to know to start with. do those websites open properly on your phone? | 23:38 |
| Daedalus_ | Hi all. I have one quick noob question and I'm done if anyone is able to help. | 23:38 |
| indian | terafl0ps, what guest are you using? | 23:38 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: if i change my server dns fo eg to google ones it ll get overided | 23:39 |
| kuranta | nydel: once I restarted after the update, the mouse and keyboard were no longer working properly, all icons were invisible or just white boxes with red x's, and the desktop background was solid blue. | 23:39 |
| terafl0ps | Indian: same as you Windows 7 and XP on an Ubuntu 12.04 host. | 23:39 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: noo lately adf.ly it doesnt but i dont see why tho | 23:39 |
| indian | terafl0ps, do you have video playback with 3d acceleration enbaled | 23:39 |
| Daedalus_ | I'm using the windows installer. It askes about installation size, is this in reference to free space it will allocate for ubuntu or is in reference to a larger install package? | 23:39 |
| L3top | alexandr0s: please type gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and place a # at the beginning of line 3, and save the file, and run update again. | 23:39 |
| Nogal | back... crashed my connection again | 23:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: my guess is your cellphone provider is blocking it. set your dns a 3rd party one and it will probably start working | 23:40 |
| terafl0ps | Indian: I haven't done a lot with it, but I noticed DirectX stuff was really laggy in that configuration. | 23:40 |
| kuranta | nydel: I tried booting from an old kernel, and it solved some of the problems but made others worse | 23:40 |
| Nogal | i think i'm going to give up on this and just leave windowsXP on the other laptop | 23:40 |
| === daz_ is now known as Guest86662 | ||
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: and how can i do that ?? | 23:40 |
| terafl0ps | Indian: What setting are you thinking of for video playback? | 23:41 |
| Nogal | i'll give it 1 more fresh install but after that i'll just expand NTFS | 23:41 |
| indian | terafl0ps, I got some CBT's that I can only play in windows | 23:41 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top> #deb http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise restricted multiverse (LIKE THIS) | 23:42 |
| indian | I have 570m card I enbaled 3d accelration and gave 128 to 256mb video memory | 23:42 |
| L3top | correct alexandr0s | 23:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: open network manager, go to your connection and change the DNS settings to manual and use "8.8.8.8" (google's dns) | 23:42 |
| indian | still it crashes when playing any video | 23:42 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: i have only the command line version no GUI | 23:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: alternatively, you could try changing the DNS server on your phone (since your laptop is using the phone's DNS), but it's probably locked | 23:43 |
| terafl0ps | Indian: Does virtualbox itself crash? | 23:43 |
| goddard | nydel: thanks pal | 23:43 |
| L3top | goddard: that seems to have a solution in it... what issue are you still having? | 23:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: what tool do you use for connecting to the phone? | 23:43 |
| indian | terafl0ps, nope just vlc | 23:43 |
| goddard | L3top: it does? | 23:43 |
| yooha | wired theter DarwinSurvivor | 23:43 |
| kuranta | anyone, help? I don't even know where to start on fixing this. Broken mouse and keyboard and blue background after updating to 12.04. Booting to old kernel doesn't help much | 23:43 |
| skx | hey, after the upgrade to 12.04 something weird happened to grub and it doesn't boot the newest kernel by default but the older one (from 11.10), how do I fix it? | 23:44 |
| goddard | L3top: i plug the drive in and it doesn't show up in a USB 3.0 slot | 23:44 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top>wait for pastebin the result ok?? | 23:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: no, which *ubuntu* tool are you using (wicd-curses, ifconfig, etc)? | 23:44 |
| esmirlin | hey guys do you know how to get multitouch gestures in precise? | 23:44 |
| goddard | L3top: it works perfectly in a USB 2.0 slot | 23:44 |
| terafl0ps | Indian: I can't help there really because I don't normally run VLC in Windows in VB. | 23:44 |
| skx | hey, after the upgrade to 12.04 something weird happened to grub and it doesn't boot the newest kernel by default but the older one (from 11.10), how do I fix it? the new grub configuration is seriously complicated | 23:44 |
| L3top | goddard: does lsusb see it? the 3.0? | 23:45 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: When you say you crashed your connection, what happened? | 23:45 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top>http://pastebin.gr/1846 | 23:45 |
| L3top | the solution there goddard is to edit grub w GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=nomsi" | 23:45 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: i didnt get ur question but i use network manager without GUI | 23:45 |
| indian | terafl0ps, I tried with WMP and it lags after few seconds and finally gets stuck | 23:45 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: while I had the two laptops connected via lan cable it kept breaking my wireless connection | 23:45 |
| L3top | well there you go alexandr0s. | 23:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: cnetworkmanager? | 23:46 |
| zybaldo | algum brasileiro por aqui? | 23:46 |
| kuranta | help!anyone, help? Nonfunctioning mouse and keyboard and blue background after updating to 12.04. Booting to old kernel doesn't help much (although there at least I can get to the command line) | 23:46 |
| indian | terafl0ps, but I can play without 3d acceleration but then I read with 3d the playback taxing on CPU will be less | 23:46 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top>now let's see if the update manager works properly | 23:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: basically, can you paste the command you use to connect to the phone? | 23:46 |
| L3top | !br | zybaldo | 23:46 |
| ubottu | zybaldo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 23:46 |
| Nogal | I'm just going to reinstall 12.04 with a fresh disk on the other laptop with it connected via eth0 straight to the router so hopefully it will pick up the firmware and fix all of the sluggish problems, XP is currently running about 5-10x as fast as the ubuntu partition | 23:46 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: i dont type any i just plug the usb and it work | 23:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: oh, it's usb, ok | 23:47 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: yes | 23:47 |
| esmirlin | hey guys do you know how to get multitouch gestures in precise? | 23:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: well, I don't use network manager from the cli, so all I can suggest is to edit /etc/resolv.conf and change the ip to "8.8.8.8", but you will need to redo that each time you reconnect | 23:47 |
| nibbler_ | hi. http://nopaste.dk/p5120 - why does apt-file find a packet, but apt-get cannot install it? | 23:47 |

| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: ok | 23:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: if it does fix the problem, perharps someone else can help you make the change permanent | 23:48 |
| L3top | yes alexandr0s. Everything is good. | 23:48 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: it works ;] thanks | 23:49 |
| alexandr0s | <L3top>ok man thank you very.....very much. | 23:49 |
| yooha | but it get overirded next time : P | 23:49 |
| L3top | np | 23:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: ok, one more thing to do. phone your cell phone company and ask them why their DNS server is altering entries! | 23:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: it may be a "feature" you can opt out of | 23:50 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: You may need to re-run that last ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.1 line once the wired connection comes up. If you ran my script while the cable between the laptops wasn't connected, the first computer may have tried to get an internet connection through the wired link. | 23:50 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: ill look in the web for it | 23:51 |
| yooha | thanks | 23:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: no problem | 23:51 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: but this would have failed because the second machine obviously can't get to the Internet. | 23:51 |
| L3top | nibbler_: does apt-cache search libgtk2.0-dev return a result? | 23:51 |
| nibbler_ | L3top, no, no result there. | 23:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yooha: for future reference though, if you are having internet problems and you are tethering off a cellphone (ESPECIALLY if that cellphone has the same problem), giving that information can save a LOT of time | 23:52 |
| yooha | DarwinSurvivor: i didnt tho of it ;P | 23:52 |
| L3top | file search != cache search. what version ubuntu are you on nibbler_? | 23:52 |
| nibbler_ | L3top, 12.4 | 23:53 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: yeah, I just downloaded another 12.04 iso and i'm going to try to reinstall the whole system with it connected to the router in the garage. I'm tired of messing with this. If it works, great, if not, screw it and I'll expand ntfs | 23:53 |
| nibbler_ | i just need retroshare, but the ppa does not support 12.4. building it myself works, but as a runtime dependency it needs gpa, which is not in ubuntu anymore, building it fails due to missing gtk/gtk.h - how to get gtk.h? | 23:53 |
