| MestreLion | a server using wireless connection? weird setup... | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| greenwolf | vmware | 00:00 |
| greenwolf | vrtual | 00:00 |
| greenwolf | but even when i installed the os on my laptop fully it does not pick up the card for some reason | 00:00 |
| aLLStaR | [ U y a r ý ] : greenwolf : Lütfen Seviyeyi Düþürmeyiniz Aksi Taktirde Kanaldan Uzaklaþtýrýlýcaksýnýz !.iyi sohbetler dilerim... | 00:00 |
| MestreLion | greenwolf: wait... is ubuntu server being run as a client os? and which os is the host? | 00:01 |
| greenwolf | but shouldnt ubuntu already have these older drivers inside the OS | 00:02 |
| greenwolf | i mean these are very known wireless cards and drivers why wouldnt it have picked it up in the install | 00:02 |
| MestreLion | greenwolf: if ubuntu is a *client* OS, then the actual hardware wireless card is irrelevant... ubuntu will only pick whatever vmware exposes to ti | 00:03 |
| OerHeks | greenwolf, wireless driver is odd in a VM, use the wired lan connection, this one will be translated to your wifi connection | 00:04 |
| aLLStaR | [ U y a r ý ] : OerHeks : Lütfen Seviyeyi Düþürmeyiniz Aksi Taktirde Kanaldan Uzaklaþtýrýlýcaksýnýz !.iyi sohbetler dilerim... | 00:04 |
| MestreLion | that is, *if* vmware is exposing any network interface at all | 00:04 |
| L3top | aLLStaR: STOP THAT | 00:04 |
| greenwolf | mestrelion: no even when i do a full system install it doesnt detect my hardware for wirelesss card | 00:04 |

| greenwolf | r u serious | 00:04 |
| greenwolf | does anyone know what the hell allstar is saying? | 00:04 |

| greenwolf | grow up guys | 00:05 |
| vik_lo | so does anyone have any ideas, i have a very specific and funny problem. i set up a ubuntu server box to act as a router, dhcp server etc for my home network. now this seems to be working fine for different devices except my mobile phone, laptop via wlan, works like a charm. wlan via iphone works like a baws, ethernet to this computer no hickups, however my samsung galaxy s2 does not access internet over the same wlan | 00:06 |
| aLLStaR | ok | 00:06 |
| aLLStaR | I m sorry guys | 00:06 |
| L3top | That is a problem with your phone vik_lo. | 00:06 |
| MestreLion | greenwolf: its not only about the language... it is wasting 5-10 lines to say how annoying a troll is... you actually wrote more lines about the troll than the troller himself | 00:07 |
| MestreLion | trollers should be either ignored or kicked/baned | 00:07 |
| L3top | And jumping into channel asking for help 3 times faster than I could start offering it... | 00:07 |
| vik_lo | i really hardly belive it is l3top it worked on the same setup with the same hardware when i simply was bridging my isp into the network, i.e isp was doing dhcp etc. not it does not with same gear. it must be a ubuntu setting | 00:07 |
| L3top | vik_lo: can you connect your phone to another wlan to see? | 00:08 |
| MestreLion | greenwolf: so you're the one that needs to grow up | 00:08 |
| vik_lo | yes and it works | 00:08 |
| IdleOne | !appeals > greenwolf | 00:08 |
| ubottu | greenwolf, please see my private message | 00:08 |
| vik_lo | also i forced it to get a new lease, it gets all the information from my dhcp server fine aswell, gets its own internal ip and it should work | 00:09 |
| oconnore | is there a program that will sync music to my android phone? Rhythmbox crashes immediately. | 00:09 |
| L3top | vik_lo: dhcp is dhcp is dhcp... if it is not picking up and address but everything else is... I mean... I cannot see how the dhcp server is the problem unless that mac has been specifically blacklisted for some reason | 00:09 |
| vik_lo | see | 00:10 |
| vik_lo | the reason i am baffled to death here l3top :) | 00:10 |
| MestreLion | I'm having a problem with Aisleriot and the launcher: when I pin/lock the launcher, the launcher loses control of aisleriot's windows. It can't identify them, count, expo, or alt+tab to them. this only happens when I pin it. Is this a known issue? | 00:10 |
| terafl0ps | vik_lo: Have you tried capturing the packets on the wireless interface of your Ubuntu server while the phone tries to connect? | 00:11 |
| vik_lo | now i have not terafl0ps, the thing is i am using a separate wlan hotspot by linksys.then the trafic goes to the switch and then to my router/dhcpserver and then to adsl modem | 00:13 |
| vik_lo | i trouble shooted by simply removing the ubuntu server and restarting the hotspot aswell as disconnecting the rest of the network so the only possible traffic is adsl modem to hotspot | 00:14 |
| vik_lo | it starts working | 00:14 |
| bananapie | I want to encrypt my home directory, but ubuntu is already installed. is it too late ? | 00:15 |
| Nogal | is there a way to check a burned iso of 12.04 before attempting an install on another machine? like a checksum? | 00:15 |
| terafl0ps | Ah. It might be interesting to capture between the hotspot and the DHCP server while looking at the dhcp daemon's logs. | 00:15 |
| agarwood | Hello, "boot.img.gz" is different for all distros ? Thank | 00:16 |
| L3top | yes Nogal md5sum | 00:16 |
| terafl0ps | Nogal: md5sum <name_of_downloaded_ iso> | 00:17 |
| agarwood | example, this one is working for xubuntu ? : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ | 00:17 |
| Nogal | will that work for the actual disk that i've already burned? | 00:17 |
| Nogal | I know the ISO is good | 00:17 |
| * Foxboron waves | 00:18 | |
| vik_lo | terafl0ps my thought process was something like, windows (my laptop) and iOS(iphone) could be forgiving or guessing some netowork setting i have set wrong, and the android does not accept it.. | 00:18 |
| agarwood | Nogal, but it's for Ubuntu, no for Xubuntu ? | 00:18 |
| Foxboron | So, i have seen a few arch linux terminal's displaying this text. and i was wondering if anyone know what MOTD script that produces that output? | 00:18 |
| Foxboron | http://danielj.se/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ArchTerminalBashPrompt.jpg | 00:18 |

| agarwood | Nogal do you know where i can find it for xubuntu ? | 00:21 |
| aartist | I have installed ubuntu using wubi. I have installed tons of program and done much configuration after that. How I can recover in the event of crash? | 00:22 |
| Foxboron | IdleOne, i was going to as it was rather little response here :P | 00:22 |
| Nogal | agarwood: can you be more specific, I think i missed your initial question. | 00:22 |
| LordOfTime | agarwood: what're you looking for...? | 00:22 |
| Dougie187 | Has anyone ever had an issue where only one output audio stream could be working at a time? | 00:22 |
| IdleOne | Foxboron: seeing how your question has nothing to do with ubuntu it is not surprising | 00:22 |
| IdleOne | greenwolf: you there? | 00:23 |
| Foxboron | IdleOne, was thinking someone might have tried to get it on Ubuntu before me :P | 00:23 |
| agarwood | I search "boot.img.gz" for Xubuntu... | 00:23 |

| L3top | agarwood: what is it you are trying to do? These sort of ambiguous questions are unclear. | 00:24 |
| Nogal | agarwood, if i'm understanding you correctly you are looking to make an installation disk of xubuntu? | 00:24 |
| agarwood | I want install Xubuntu with boot Usb | 00:25 |

| MestreLion | so no one has never experienced launcher losing control of windows after unpinning a given application? | 00:29 |
| Random832 | MestreLion: what, on unity? | 00:29 |
| MestreLion | yes Random832 | 00:29 |
| Random832 | i've noticed other launcher bugs, not that one in particular | 00:29 |
| MestreLion | it happens with me only with Aisleriot | 00:29 |
| Random832 | the launcher is buggy in general i think | 00:29 |
| Random832 | this was in 11.10 | 00:29 |
| Nogal | terafl0ps: i just ran md5sum /dev/cdrom, should the md5sum should be the same as the .iso? | 00:30 |
| Random832 | I can't really recommend anyting except stop using unity | 00:30 |
| MestreLion | yes, many glitches... but this one is quite annoying.. and reproductible. Care for testing? | 00:30 |
| agarwood | thank you nogal | 00:30 |
| L3top | yes Nogal, or better yet the md5sum of the image at dl source | 00:31 |
| MestreLion | Random832: open Aisleriot (Solitaire), from dash... open a few instances.. see how launcher identifies and controls them just fine. Now pin it to the launcher. Now it can't identify the, anymore | 00:31 |
| Nogal | well crap. | 00:31 |

| aaa | thanks, <MestreLion> | 00:36 |
| Nogal | ok so http://paste.ubuntu.com/998280/ this is all i should really need to run? | 00:36 |

| alusion | I like the sounds of that. | 00:56 |
| xangua | tbrown_2012: by loading games you mean games installed in another windows partition¿ | 00:57 |

| techie1980-1 | Good afternoon. I'm having a problem getting NTP to work properly. I have 2 machines that are reporting being on stratum 1 per ntptrace, but are about .6 seconds off one another. | 01:02 |
| roaje | MestreLion: it makes my bootup time even slower :\ this is a laptop that i restart often | 01:02 |
| gridbag | is there a table of mime typs on the system? for example PDF -> application/pdf GIF->image/gif | 01:02 |
| MestreLion | alusion: just delete (or move to another place) your current ~/.config/tomboy dir, then replace with the one you extract from backup | 01:02 |
| vexaxv | anyone know why minecraft wont work withought some kind of crazy code on openjdk7? | 01:02 |
| roaje | i have no problem setting everything else, but it seems im not supposed to edit resolv.conf | 01:02 |

| L3top | tbrown_2012: sudo chown $USER: /path/to/whatever.exe | 01:03 |
| MestreLion | roaje: you don't need to run network manager after you use it to set up | 01:03 |
| MestreLion | roaje: open it, set it the way you want, quit it, don't add to autostart... have fun ;) | 01:03 |
| roaje | MestreLion: so you are suggesting that i reinstall it only so i can set my dns servers? | 01:03 |
| MestreLion | ohhh, did you *uninstall* it?!?!? | 01:04 |
| roaje | it starts before x even starts | 01:04 |
| alusion | How do I have dropbox within nautilus ? | 01:04 |
| roaje | loads all kinds of stuff | 01:04 |
| alusion | How do I get* | 01:04 |
| roaje | that i really do not need | 01:04 |
| MestreLion | alusion: download their .deb in dropbox website | 01:04 |
| xangua | roaje: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/setup-static-dns-servers-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ just use gksu instead of sudo for Gedit | 01:04 |
| alusion | should I open the deb with bash | 01:04 |
| alusion | upon double click itd direct me to the software center download | 01:05 |
| MestreLion | roaje: if you're looking for a fast, slim, minimal distro, maybe ubuntu is not a good choice... | 01:05 |
| roaje | alusion: i actually did exactly the same thing and it did not seem to work, killed and restarted dhclient and thought something was wrong | 01:05 |
| xangua | alusion: or just double clic and let the software center manage the install, yes | 01:05 |
| OerHeks | alusion, it opens in software centre, that is ok | 01:05 |
| roaje | MestreLion: thanks but you are really not helping me set some dns servers | 01:05 |
| replsos | pure-lang | 01:06 |
| MestreLion | roaje: yes I am. DNS servers in Ubuntu are meant to be changed using Network MAnager. If you remove it, you're going to cripple Ubuntu in several ways | 01:06 |
| maddinw | flow | 01:06 |
| alusion | I have the most recent version downloaded but I still don't see dropbox in my nautilus navigation menu | 01:06 |
| MestreLion | alusion: have you installed it? have you ran it? | 01:07 |
| xangua | alusion: nautilus -p or logout/login | 01:07 |
| MestreLion | xangua: something tells me he didn't run or installed dropbox yet. cos 1st run it clearly says that nautilus must be restarted... it even offers a button to do it for you | 01:08 |
| roaje | MestreLion: im not going to geek-off with you, you dont know how to answer my question and you dont have to keep trying | 01:09 |
| W1N9Zr0 | I am using mdadm raid with a motherboard with two sata controllers, 4 drives on one, 2 on the other. now that one of the drives on the first controller is degraded, grub cannot boot, and ls at the grub rescue prompt only lists hd0 through hd3. is it not seeing the second controller? | 01:09 |
| MestreLion | alusion: dowload dropbox from dropbox website. it winn open software center after download, that is fine, that is how it works. install it. then run it | 01:09 |
| OerHeks | roaje see the link of xangua | 01:10 |
| L3top | W1N9Zr0: yuck | 01:10 |
| W1N9Zr0 | would having a boot partition solve this? | 01:11 |
| mwmnj | How can I list what applications have been installed? | 01:11 |
| roaje | OerHeks: alright will give it another shot, thanks xangua | 01:11 |
| alusion | I have the dropbox folder in my Home directory, I want to put it into the side panel | 01:11 |
| MestreLion | mwmnj: theres a button for it in software center | 01:11 |
| mwmnj | dpkg -l only seems to list packages starting with l to z | 01:11 |
| gregork | how can I disable alt-right click window menus? The compizconfig/general options setting seems to have no effect | 01:12 |
| mwmnj | MestreLion: that only lists apps installed through the software center | 01:12 |
| MestreLion | mwmnj: nope | 01:12 |
| c0ldz3r0 | anybody could ssh connect to ubuntu server using authentication keys nor password | 01:12 |
| alusion | Also how can I customize the options when I right click folders and files? | 01:12 |
| xangua | alusion: dragit to the sidebar in the Nautilus pannel and it should appear in que quicklist list in the nautilus launcher icon | 01:12 |
| alusion | That would be super duper cool | 01:12 |
| MestreLion | mwmnj: it lists all software installed via aptitude or synaptics or apt-get too.. anything that uses dpkg backend | 01:12 |
| goddard | my usb 3.0 slot doesn't work.. how can i debug? | 01:13 |
| OerHeks | c0ldz3r0, what makes you think you can SSH without authorisation? | 01:13 |
| mwmnj | MestreLion: the installed tab? | 01:13 |
| MestreLion | c0ldz3r0: yup. ssh --copy-keys <yourserver> | 01:13 |
| alusion | w/e I added it to cairo dock which is just perfect ^_^ Thank you for all your help ! | 01:14 |
| aguitel | i try to install propietaries drivers for this card:VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RL/VR AGP ,how i do in ubuntu ? | 01:14 |
| OerHeks | c0ldz3r0, to connect to an unknown server, all you need is the public keys | 01:14 |
| MestreLion | mwmnj: yes | 01:14 |
| c0ldz3r0 | OerHeks: i need to connect to my on server thought keys | 01:14 |
| mwmnj | MestreLion: had to click "show all technical items" thanks | 01:14 |
| MestreLion | mwmnj: "technical items" is SC's term for "software that does not install in menu" | 01:16 |
| OerHeks | c0ldz3r0, good start > https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openssh-server.html | 01:16 |
| MestreLion | oh, true OerHeks .. it's ssh-copy-id <remotehost> | 01:17 |
| oscar | join #git | 01:17 |
| MestreLion | why oscar ? | 01:18 |
| === Salash is now known as Mackenzie | ||
| chu | MestreLion: He probably missed the / | 01:18 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: I don't think Rage 128 is supported by the proprietary drivers | 01:18 |
| c0ldz3r0 | OerHeks: what i really need is configure a pair of keys that permit me connect my laptop thats is running ubuntu 12.04 into server ubuntu 12.04, to use passwordless, is to use sparkleshare app | 01:18 |
| OerHeks | he forgets the / | 01:18 |
| aguitel | MestreLion, can i try it ? | 01:19 |
| MestreLion | c0ldz3r0: ssh-copy-id <user@server> | 01:19 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: you will have better chances with the free, open driver | 01:19 |
| ghostconn | anyone know of a coverflow plugin for rhythmbox? | 01:20 |
| aguitel | MestreLion, what driver | 01:20 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: the proprietary ones are for HD 4xxx series onwards only | 01:20 |
| catlover2 | Hello, I have a quick question about hardlinks. | 01:20 |
| vexaxv | hey guys how do i make a script from an empty document to make a program run with a code..like in order to run..idk minecraft ud write "x1234 java -jar minecraft.jar" and you double click the script and it runs the code with the program | 01:20 |
| c0ldz3r0 | MestreLion: tried this too but when i get ssh <user@server> it prompt me for pass | 01:20 |
| aguitel | MestreLion, how install free driver for this card | 01:20 |
| imnichol | vexaxv, what are you unclear about? What's your question? | 01:20 |
| catlover2 | If I made a hardlink of a file, will removing the hardlink also remove the file that it points to? | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | c0ldz3r0: the server may not be set to accept keys instead of a login. | 01:21 |
| korn788 | hello im not new to linux but was wordering if i make a partition from one HD with windows on it can i install ubuntu on it without messing up windows | 01:21 |
| vexaxv | imnichol, i have to run minecraft through a terminal with a code to get it to work on open jdk and id like to make a script so i dont have too..then hopefully turn that script into a .desktop and run it from unity | 01:21 |
| MestreLion | c0ldz3r0: 2 things to check: 1- was ssh-copy-id successful? were the keys copied to server/~.ssh and authorized keys? 2) is the server ssh server configure to allow key access? | 01:21 |
| imnichol | vexaxv, that works for me already | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | catlover2: IF its the last hardlink to the file. a hardlink basically is a 2nd name to a file. | 01:21 |
| vexaxv | imnichol, what works for u | 01:21 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: it is installed by default when you install ubuntu | 01:21 |
| imnichol | vexaxv, you might have to associate openjdk with .jar files though. Is your problem that the file is opening with the archive manager? | 01:22 |
| imnichol | vexaxv, I doubleclick the minecraft .jar and it runs it with jdk | 01:22 |
| vexaxv | imnichol, no..i get an error | 01:22 |
| imnichol | What's the error? | 01:22 |
| vexaxv | imnichol, yeah if you have openjdk6 not 7 | 01:22 |
| catlover2 | Dr_Willis: So I can delete the hardlink without removing the file that it points to, right? | 01:23 |
| MestreLion | korn788: sure, that is a very common set up. actually, ubuntu's install option "Install alongside with other OSes" already does that for you | 01:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c0ldz3r0: are you using any sort of hard drive, partition or home-folder encryption on the machine you are connecting to? | 01:23 |
| xangua | !dualboot | korn788 | 01:23 |
| imnichol | vexaxv, you're right, I have openjdk6. | 01:23 |
| ubottu | korn788: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 01:23 |
| vexaxv | imnichol, Exception in thread "Minecraft main thread" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/corey/.minecraft/bin/natives/liblwjgl.so: /home/corey/.minecraft/bin/natives/liblwjgl.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch) | 01:23 |
| korn788 | ok because i have ubuntu install on one pc but its only ubuntu | 01:23 |
| c0ldz3r0 | DarwinSurvivor: no encryption i read that this gives error | 01:23 |
| MestreLion | catlover2: a hardlink does not point to a file. a hardlink IS a file :) | 01:23 |
| vexaxv | imnichol, if u run LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64 then run minecraft it works on openjdk 7 | 01:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c0ldz3r0: well, not an error. if someone is already logged in it wouldn't give you a password prompt (the password would be for decryption). | 01:24 |
| imnichol | Oh ok vexaxv | 01:24 |
| aguitel | MestreLion, anything else can i do ? | 01:24 |
| korn788 | cool cool thanks for the help | 01:24 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: did the built-in drver didn't work? | 01:25 |
| aguitel | MestreLion, poor perfomance | 01:25 |
| vexaxv | anyone know how to make a .desktop file run the executable AND a pre written code for example "blah blah" / java -jar minecraft.jar | 01:25 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: it is a 10-yr-old card trying to run a modern 3D desktop... it can't perform well | 01:26 |
| goddard | my usb 3.0 slot doesn't work.. how can i debug? | 01:26 |
| aguitel | MestreLion, yes i know | 01:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | catlover2: long explanation: every file has a hardlink, it is the path of the file. "creating a hardlink" is basically creating a new file, but pointing to the original. if you create a second hardlink to a file, you can delete either one (even the original) without losing the file, once you delete the last remaining hardlink, the file will then be gone (consider it deleted) | 01:26 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: but you buy an HD 54xx for like 20 bucks ;) | 01:26 |
| scar3crow | help, I formatted a partition without backing up my data (by accident) can I get my data back? it was for work! | 01:27 |
| MestreLion | scar3crow: ext4? | 01:27 |
| scar3crow | yes | 01:27 |
| aguitel | MestreLion, in this pc i have not slot free ,not agp ,not pcie | 01:27 |
| MestreLion | scar3crow: format or just deleted the partition? | 01:27 |
| scar3crow | format | 01:28 |
| MestreLion | scar3crow: sit and cry :) | 01:28 |
| xangua | !recover | MestreLion | 01:28 |
| ubottu | MestreLion: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 01:28 |
| OerHeks | testdisk could help | 01:28 |
| xangua | scar3crow see above | 01:28 |
| c0ldz3r0 | MestreLion: on sshd_config: PasswordAuthentication YES is his | 01:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: do you have another drive with at least as much empty space on it as the entire size of the affected drive? | 01:29 |
| LinuX2half | There's a restart/shutdown button missing from the right top panel | 01:29 |
| MestreLion | yeah, testdisk may help... but from a deleted ntfs partition, not a formated ext4 one... I woul'nt have my hopes high | 01:29 |
| LinuX2half | I've upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 and it removed the shutdown button somehow | 01:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: ext3/4 files that have been *deleted* are really hard to recover, but undoing a "format" is actually easier :P | 01:29 |
| LinuX2half | Only when after I logout, there's a button to shutdown but it never works. | 01:29 |
| scar3crow | DarwinSurvivor: please help, I deleted /var/www/ | 01:30 |
| xangua | LinuX2half: tried to reset unity¿ http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html | 01:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: deleted or formatted? | 01:30 |
| scar3crow | formatted, sorry | 01:30 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: try 10.04 lucid... it's a great OS, and does not require 3D | 01:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: was it on its own partition? | 01:30 |
| scar3crow | yes | 01:31 |
| aguitel | MestreLion, i am in lucid | 01:31 |
| Guest67867 | I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBookPro 15" Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac-osx is on the first half of a terabyte hard drive. I have refit working but when I try to access the linux partition for install all I get is a msg "missing operating system" a blinking cursor and it goes nowhere. How do I get the disk image and the linux partition to see each other and connect. | 01:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: and what did you do to format it *exactly*? | 01:31 |
| MestreLion | aguitel: stay with it... and avoid compiz ;) | 01:31 |
| celthunder | scar3crow: go find some recovery sw and start hoping you didnt overwrite it more than once or twice if its a hdd no idea about ssd chances | 01:31 |
| scar3crow | reinstall 12.04... checked the format box for my / partition | 01:31 |
| MestreLion | scar3crow: and how far in the install it went? | 01:32 |
| scar3crow | all the way | 01:32 |
| MestreLion | well, try testdisk.. it is really an awesome software, that saved me more than once | 01:32 |
| Guest67867 | doesn't go seem as if they are not connected the partition and the disk image | 01:33 |
| scar3crow | will try | 01:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: do you have another partition or harddrive with at least as much empty space as the size of your /var/www partition? | 01:33 |
| MestreLion | but in your case... honestly.. consider it lost | 01:33 |
| scar3crow | DarwinSurvivor: yes | 01:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: ok, make a backup of the partition (just in case), then run testdisk as MestreLion stated, it has saved my butt in the past as well | 01:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: do you know how to back up a partition? | 01:33 |
| scar3crow | no | 01:33 |
| MestreLion | i mean... partition was formated... and then a full OS install wrote to it... I wouldn't have hopes of recovering... | 01:33 |
| scar3crow | yeah I figured | 01:34 |
| scar3crow | crap | 01:34 |
| MestreLion | scar3crow: but... wait | 01:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: ok "sudo dd if=/dev/sdXY of=/path/to/backup/folder/my_partition.img" replace X and Y with the appropriate partition value (ex: /dev/sda1) | 01:34 |
| MestreLion | you're interested in /home only, correct? | 01:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | MestreLion: the /var/www partition was the only one affected, ubuntu probably didn't install much into that folder | 01:35 |
| MestreLion | oh, /var/www ? hum, true | 01:35 |
| scar3crow | thats what I was thinking DarwinSurvivor | 01:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: how big is the partition? | 01:35 |
| scar3crow | 100gb | 01:35 |
| celthunder | MestreLion: if he formatted and overwrote it once he might be fine...depends on the type of hdd if hes using it now vs having it mounted secondary supposedly you can overwrite some stuff 5 times before losing | 01:35 |
| MestreLion | scar3crow: for backup, you can even use gparted to clone a partition | 01:36 |
| LinuX2half | xangua: it doesn't seem to be working, the terminal began to hang after the screen resets. | 01:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: ok, backing that partition up onto another partition will probably take a little while (probably just over an hour). | 01:36 |
| scar3crow | ok | 01:36 |
| scar3crow | tell me how | 01:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: actually, probably 2 hours if their both on the same hdd (reading/writing simultaneously and all that) | 01:36 |
| celthunder | scar3crow: dd | 01:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow:"sudo dd if=/dev/sdXY of=/path/to/backup/folder/my_partition.img" replace X and Y with the appropriate partition value (ex: /dev/sda1) | 01:37 |
| replsos | It's more on the "secret weapon" side of Paul Graham's programming language taxonomy | 01:37 |
| scar3crow | ok ty | 01:37 |
| MestreLion | scar3crow: use gparted to create a clone of the partition... and/or use dd as DarwinSurvivor suggested... one clones to a partition, the other dumps a partition as a file... both works | 01:37 |
| scar3crow | you guys rock! | 01:37 |
| bandit5432 | cough ddrescue cough | 01:37 |
| MestreLion | and, regardless of the result | 01:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: see http://linuxcommando.blogspot.ca/2008/06/show-progress-during-dd-copy.html to learn how to get progress reports on how far dd has made it (will tell you how long it will take) | 01:37 |
| MestreLion | LEARN TO USE DEJADUP ;) | 01:38 |

| MestreLion | check my answer... it shows how to use DD for a partition/hdd clone.. and it also covers how to get a "progress status" with it | 01:41 |
| tbrown_2012 | celthunder: How can I fix the bug in 12.04 | 01:41 |
| MestreLion | if you enjoy, I would be glad if you upvoted my answer | 01:41 |
| LinuX2half | It's not getting better | 01:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: oh, make sure you unmount the partition!!! | 01:41 |
| LinuX2half | Not only has the shutdown button didn't appear, now there are some icons that's "stuck" on the left dock of the screen. | 01:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | scar3crow: and comment it out of fstab so it doesn't get remounted. each time it gets mounted you risk losing data! | 01:42 |
| catlover2 | DarwinSurvivor: Thanks, I see now. Sorry for the delay. | 01:42 |
| LinuX2half | Seems to me like upgrading the OS cause some bugs to arise | 01:42 |

| LinuX2half | So what should I do now? I've tried to reset unity, but the system hangs and resetting the icon results the seem as the previous one. | 01:43 |
| MestreLion | tbrown_2012: depends on your usb stick speed.. some are really slow | 01:43 |

| Soul | what? | 01:46 |
| tbrown_2012 | celthunder: LOL no the iso is like 512MB or something but am using 15GB of Flash Drive no not a 15 GB iso image that would be crazzy lol LMAO RIGHT KNOW | 01:47 |
| celthunder | tbrown_2012: hmm i guess df or du -hs it and see how far it is | 01:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tbrown_2012: it doesn't matter how big the drive is, if it's a 512MB iso, it will only transfer 512MB of data to it | 01:47 |
| celthunder | MestreLion: dang that would drive me crazy i had to buy all class 10 cards even for my phone | 01:47 |
| MestreLion | tbrown_2012: for a 12.04 image, you don't even need usb startup disk creator... just dd the iso to the usb (if you don't mind losing all data on it) | 01:48 |

| Baett | Hi, folks. Forgive my noobness. I just installed 12.04 onto a fresh hard drive. When it boots, the video becomes corrupted and locks up. It's an nVidia 9800GT card that worked fine in Fedora 16 and in Windows. | 02:05 |
| tbrown_2012 | I was wondering how can I keep my screen brighten. Everytime when I log out and log back in it turns dark it kind of wered:) | 02:08 |
| Guest67867 | I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBookPro 15" Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac-osx is on the first half of a terabyte hard drive.

How do I get the disk image and the linux partition to see each other and connect. | 02:08 |
| bandit5432 | tbrown_2012, you on a laptop? | 02:09 |
| tbrown_2012 | bandit5432: Yes how did you know:) | 02:09 |
| bandit5432 | go into system settings and click on brightness and lock | 02:11 |

| tbrown_2012 | How can I get the classic look back of 10.04 on my 12.04 ubuntu. I dont like the tablet look it fells like I should touch my screen but I dont want to:) | 02:12 |

| IdleOne | !notunity | tbrown_2012 | 02:13 |
| ubottu | tbrown_2012: 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 | 02:13 |

| L3top | Baett: I would try and install the nvidia drivers... but I have not heard of that specific problem with nouveau... usually just a purple or more often a black screen... you could try booting with nomodeset. | 02:14 |
| donj_ | Can anyone help with file permissions? I have a drive shared out so that anyone can RW to it. But whenever a new file is created or moved to the drive only the Owner can RW to it, the Other group has no permission on the file. I have to manually set the Other group to RW if I want to share the file over the network. Is there anyway to automatically give the Other group RW permissions for newly created and moved files to the drive? | 02:14 |
| jrib | donj_: what filesystem? | 02:15 |
| donj_ | ext4 | 02:15 |
| donj_ | Using samba | 02:15 |
| donj_ | to share with windows | 02:15 |
| dtfuvhvc | hmmm how do I firmly disable unity? | 02:15 |
| tbrown_2012 | Does anyone like the Chrome-Book Netbooks I really want one I know it off topic but it look fun to use:) | 02:15 |
| jrib | donj_: use ACLs or change umask. If you care for some samba-specific option, I don't know (ask the samba channel) | 02:16 |
| bandit5432 | choose alternate de at login and set as default | 02:16 |
| bandit5432 | dtfuvhvc, ^^ | 02:16 |
| Baett | L3top: How do I do that? I don't see any options when it boots. It goes straight to the Ubuntu logo and then crap. | 02:16 |
| L3top | !ot | 02:16 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:16 |
| dtfuvhvc | ok :D | 02:16 |
| donj_ | ACLS or umask? | 02:16 |
| L3top | press shift several time while booting Baett... then you should be able to hit f5 or f6, cant remember, and it should be an option.. | 02:17 |
| L3top | !nomodeset | Baett | 02:17 |
| ubottu | Baett: 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 | 02:17 |
| donj_ | Its not the networking permissions that is the problem | 02:17 |
| tbrown_2012 | installing the gnome Shell right know:) Cant wait to see the clasic look of Ubuntu Kind of miss it:) Sorry about that Ubuntu Developers I like the 12.04 look but it just look like a tablet then a pc interface:( | 02:17 |
| SJr | I installed Ubuntu 12.04 over 10.10. It worked fine at first but after installing a bunch of updates the dault option in grub doesnt work | 02:17 |
| jrib | donj_: what is unclear? | 02:17 |
| donj_ | What ACLS and Umask are. And how going to the samba channel will remedy a problem thats unrelated to the network permissions | 02:18 |
| w32stuxnet | hi guys, I am running Ubuntu in a VM, and the other day I lost the ability to find my development USB board under /dev/ | 02:19 |
| w32stuxnet | running ls /dev/ttyUSB* returns nothing | 02:19 |
| w32stuxnet | despite it having worked a couple of days ago | 02:19 |
| w32stuxnet | It is running in virtualbox and the device is activated under the "devices" menu | 02:19 |
| donj_ | os permissions not network* | 02:20 |
| jrib | donj_: « man setfacl » and « man getfacl ». ACLs are a way to (among other things) set default permissions in a directory. umask defines the permissions files are created with. Depending on what you want to do exactly, changing umask may be sufficient. I told you that if you wanted some sort of samba-related solution (that may or may not exist) then the samba channel is your best bet. You don't have | 02:20 |
| jrib | to go there if you're sure you don't want some sort of samba-related solution | 02:20 |
| tbrown_2012 | I like the look of the gnome classic but it does not have the logo on the screen of the upper left side like it used to:) | 02:20 |
| LinuX2half | I found the problem. | 02:20 |

| donj_ | ah my fault i misinterpreted. I guess ill go do some research on umask and acl. Thx | 02:22 |

| bandit5432 | Guest67867, did you burn the ubuntu cd or make a boot disk? | 02:28 |
| vexaxv | does anyone know how to place a minecraft shortcut in unity..i know how to make the .desktop shortcuts and put em in unity but i think because its a java program its not working | 02:29 |
| Guest67867 | yes i did | 02:29 |
| bandit5432 | Guest67867, see http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/34826.aspx | 02:29 |
| bandit5432 | Guest67867, then you put the disk in the drive and reboot while holding down C | 02:30 |
| Guest67867 | that doesn't work goes right to mac-osx | 02:31 |
| tbrown_2012 | How can I get that Glass Transparent look on my desktop on application windows | 02:32 |
| bandit5432 | and you kept holding down C i dont have a mac to try or have tried this | 02:32 |

| ubottu | vexaxv, please see my private message | 03:12 |
| sarawut | ดี | 03:13 |
| LordOfTime | heh | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | lol i already did | 03:13 |
| LordOfTime | all prepared, i like that | 03:13 |
| ronny_ | can i stop it?? | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | :) | 03:13 |
| aarcane | vexaxv, try openjdk 6. | 03:13 |
| escott | ronny_, ctrl-c | 03:13 |
| LordOfTime | vexaxv: first, stack traces are evil. second, you have a segfault, that's almost impossible to track down with just the stack trace. | 03:14 |
| LordOfTime | vexaxv: did you try openjdk 6, or installing sun java 7? | 03:14 |
| vexaxv | i tryed openjdk6 but im too in love with openjdk7 performance over 6 | 03:14 |
| vexaxv | not sun java.. | 03:14 |
| ronny_ | thanks escott iḿ goin to specified -v, can i use this command?: sudo badblocks -w -v -v /dev/sdb1 | 03:15 |
| vexaxv | so you guys think i should try sun java 7? | 03:16 |
| escott | ronny_, you could try it | 03:16 |
| Biblioclasta | vexaxv, oracle java 7, no more sun... | 03:17 |
| jiltdil | My vlc is not showing max, min button above,its very irritating | 03:17 |
| Loshki | ronny_: er, did I miss it? Why are you running badblocks in the first place? | 03:17 |
| vexaxv | i thought sun and oracle were the same company >.< | 03:18 |
| sarawut | ดี | 03:18 |
| sarawut | จ้า | 03:18 |
| jiltdil | vexaxv, oracle had overtaken sun | 03:18 |
| aarcane | vexaxv, oracle bought sun, and ditched the prestigious sun name, because they suck and are nothing like sun., | 03:18 |
| vexaxv | i want jre right not jdk | 03:19 |
| totesmuhgoats | vexaxv: jdk is for development | 03:20 |
| totesmuhgoats | jre is for runtime | 03:20 |
| vexaxv | yeahhh figured >., | 03:20 |
| totesmuhgoats | ya dig pal? | 03:20 |
| vexaxv | >.< | 03:20 |
| totesmuhgoats | sorry, did i misunderstand the question? | 03:20 |
| ronny_ | because a had "sectores erroneos" i dont know ho to say in english, bad blocks??, and i want so do a low level fotmat to fix it, this is true?? | 03:21 |
| vexaxv | k i downloaded the tar.gz jre 64 bit java 7 | 03:21 |
| vexaxv | woohoo | 03:21 |
| escott | ronny_, what makes you think badblocks will fix it? | 03:21 |
| L3top | !th | sarawut | 03:21 |
| ubottu | sarawut: Please see #ubuntu-th for Ubuntu in Thailand. | 03:21 |
| aarcane | ronny_, low level format does not fix it. The only fix is to return to manufacturer for a warranty replacement. | 03:21 |
| korn788 | hello im trying to install ubuntu 12.04 (text based one) from USB when i click install select my keyboard it fail to find my CD | 03:21 |
| korn788 | i mean fails to mount my CD but im using USB | 03:22 |
| aarcane | ronny_, use dd rescue to copy the data off the drive and onto another. do not use the drive, or attempt to fix it. | 03:23 |
| escott | aarcane, too late for that. if he has data on that disk he has already destroyed much of it with badblocks -w | 03:24 |
| Loshki | ronny_: Are you aware that badblocks -w erases data? | 03:24 |
| bitpimp | 11.10 froze on me, but I was able to ctrl-alt-f2 and get into here... how should I try to start unfreezing? | 03:24 |
| vexaxv | yeah i have no idea how to install this | 03:24 |
| vexaxv | i extracted the tar.gz and it gave me abunch of files and folders | 03:24 |
| aarcane | escott, any remaining data may still be salvagable, as long as the pass hasn't completed. | 03:24 |
| deadmund | vexaxv: You probably have the source. Is there a readme? | 03:24 |
| ronny_ | ahh no problem, i dont have data into this hard disk | 03:24 |
| vexaxv | http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jre-7-readme-430162.html | 03:25 |
| LordOfTime | vexaxv: there's an installation guide for oracle java 7, provided by java 7 | 03:25 |
| vexaxv | yeppers | 03:25 |
| L3top | vexaxv: look for a README and view it for instructions | 03:25 |
| LordOfTime | vexaxv: you should read it for the "Linux" installation instructions | 03:25 |
| aarcane | ronny_, just contact the manufacturer. request an RMA replacement. If they say no, buy a new drive. | 03:25 |
| vexaxv | yeah i didnt see install intructions for linux on this site http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jre-7-readme-430162.html | 03:26 |
| vexaxv | that site comes fromt he readme | 03:26 |

| vexaxv | it says http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/linux/linux-jre.html at that link to unpack the tar.gz then install it | 03:30 |
| vexaxv | it doesent say how.. | 03:30 |
| Loshki | ronny_: toshiba has their own disk diagnostic software (like most manufacturers). I would run that next. See http://storage.toshiba.com/storage-services-support/warranty-support/software-utilitiesy-support/software-utilities | 03:30 |

| ssbr_ | What is the command to start Ubuntu Software Center? i.e. what is the program named? | 03:33 |
| korn788 | apt right? | 03:34 |
| Loshki | chu: in my experience, all the linuxes have sound issues. Next step is probably to identify your sound chip and then search on it... | 03:35 |
| chu | Loshki: Ahh, it's not a big deal really, but cheers. | 03:36 |
| VirtualBlackness | sorry vexaxv, can you ls bin in that dir | 03:36 |

| vexaxv | i guess i just follow that | 03:37 |
| VirtualBlackness | chu is it alsa? | 03:37 |
| vexaxv | openjdk is so much easier lol | 03:37 |
| vexaxv | i just dont know why i get errors with openjdk 7 | 03:37 |
| KurtKraut | I'd like to educate myself better in AppArmor. Can anyone recommend me a doc/wiki/tutorial about AppArmor that is aimed for 'human beings'? | 03:37 |
| chu | VirtualBlackness: Yeah, but I'd rather not mess with the config, it's so fragile :( | 03:37 |
| hampsterblade | ok I have a really annoying issue | 03:37 |
| VirtualBlackness | it was easy when there was a package, but because oracle bought them the licensing prevents ubu from keeping it | 03:38 |
| hampsterblade | I have a samba share of a folder full of symlinks | 03:38 |
| hampsterblade | When I try to access the share on a windows PC, it gives a permissions error when I click any of the symlinks. | 03:38 |

| debsan | hampsterblade, there is an option followsymlinks =yes/no read about that | 03:39 |
| hampsterblade | thank you debsan | 03:39 |
| korn788 | so im trying to install 12.04 from USB and when i get passed the keyboard part it asks for a CD to mount (its the text based intaller) | 03:41 |

| echo083 | with command line how to start a script in a particular folder ? | 03:42 |
| deadmund | echo083: path/to/folder/with/script.sh | 03:43 |
| deadmund | echo083: the script must be chmod'd +x first though :) | 03:43 |
| L3top | echo083: ./script.sh if you are in the directory it is in | 03:43 |
| echo083 | deadmund, no i want to do start the script path/to/folder/with/script.sh in the folder path/i/want/to/start/ | 03:43 |
| echo083 | L3top, i'm not in this directory | 03:44 |
| echo083 | L3top, i want to do something like "start in folder" | 03:44 |
| deadmund | echo083: It doesn't matter what path you're in at. Just start with / and go there. Your script is probably something like /home/<username>/Desktop/script.sh just type that regardless of where the terminal is located | 03:44 |
| deadmund | echo083: The script can change it's own location using the language the script is written in. Bash for example can move around with regular cd | 03:45 |
| ronny_ | hi, iḿ here again, i thy to use the software, but i cant see the hard disk in windows, only can see it in the bios and linux, but no windows!! the software is .exe | 03:45 |
| echo083 | deadmund, ok you need to move inside the folder and then start the script inside it | 03:45 |
| deadmund | echo083: no. | 03:46 |
| L3top | no echo083... you simply have to call it wherever it is. If you happen to be there, then you can use ./script.sh | 03:46 |
| L3top | otherwise you type /path/to/script.sh | 03:46 |
| L3top | but the script must be executable. | 03:47 |

| ronny_ | then i cant use this command to fix my hard disk?: badblocks -s -v -n -f /dev/sdb1 | 03:52 |
| Dr_Willis | i think yu need to clarify the problem ronny_ | 03:52 |
| ronny_ | my hard disk have bad blocks!!! | 03:53 |
| L3top | ronny_: what is the file system? Why do you think it has bad blocks? | 03:54 |
| tester | hello | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | howdies | 03:55 |
| tester | I did testing for ubuntu-friendly about 2 weeks ago, but I still don't see results for my laptop on friendly.ubuntu.com. Do you know when things get up there? | 03:56 |
| ronny_ | i dont have file system, i try to install to my PS3, and always had problems, finally i cant to install this to my PS3, and put it in my PC, now my PC (linux) say that the hard disk had bad block :( | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ronny_: so this is an empty unpartioned hard drive? | 03:57 |
| ronny_ | yes | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | and what is saying it has badblocks? | 03:58 |
| Dowal | anyone ever try to get the bell to work in gnome-terminal? | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | if its truely unpartioned then you dont have a /dev/sdb1 yet. it would be just /dev/sdb | 03:59 |
| L3top | ronny_: you said "hi, iḿ here again, i thy to use the software, but i cant see the hard disk in windows, only can see it in the bios and linux, but no windows!! the software is .exe" what software are you trying to use? What specifically said it had bad blocks? Please provide more detail | 03:59 |
| Dowal | i'm doing echo -e "\a" and can't get a bell, but it works fine for xterm | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Dowal: gnome/compiz/metacity try to 'trap' that bell and replace it with aa pulseaudio controlled system 'sound' | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Dowal: ive heard of others thst cant even getg xterm to beep that way | 04:00 |
| Dowal | Dr_Willis: don't really want a sound. I want to get the urgency set so that I can set urgencyHooks in Xmonad | 04:00 |
| ronny_ | is a toshiba disk diagnostic software, the hard disk is Toshiba. This is the link http://storage.toshiba.com/storage-services-support/warranty-support/software-utilities | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea on that Dowal .. i do know i see people in here either trying to turn off the beeps, or turn them on. ;) i dont have any sound at all for the beeps, even the beep command dosent work for me | 04:01 |
| joseph_ | why is byobu so screwed up in 12.04 on ec2 | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | ronny_: id use a gparted live cd, and have it partion/format/check tghe drive then. | 04:02 |
| Dowal | Dr_Willis: yeah, I can't get beeps either, but I don't care much about those | 04:03 |

| Mneumonic | When I run Skype it doesn't minimize to Unity so if I minimize it I have no way to open it back up. | 04:06 |
| chrislu5tic | mneumonic : check your top bar. top right | 04:06 |
| chrislu5tic | for skype icon | 04:07 |
| Mneumonic | no skype icon | 04:07 |
| Janos | hey there, something is driving me crazy about 12.04 and i can´t figure it out. I´m trying to change the default auto-login session from unity to my XBMC session, but lightdm simply ignores the config file and always start unity, is this a but in 12.04 or something | 04:07 |
| Mneumonic | It used to minimize to the top panel but doesn't anymore | 04:07 |
| Mneumonic | after a new install of 12.04 | 04:07 |
| chrislu5tic | eek.. i use 12.04 and it works for me. | 04:08 |
| Mneumonic | where did you install it from? | 04:08 |
| Mneumonic | I installed the 64 bit ubuntu package from their site | 04:08 |
| chrislu5tic | i got 32 bit, on an older laptop but yet. | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Janos: try removeing your .dmrc file and let it remake it | 04:08 |
| chrislu5tic | yes* | 04:09 |
| Mneumonic | should I try the 32 bit version? | 04:09 |
| Mneumonic | i'm on 64 bit | 04:09 |
| chrislu5tic | lol | 04:09 |
| Mneumonic | I don't mind extra libraries installed | 04:09 |
| Mneumonic | what .dmrc | 04:09 |
| L3top | !enter | Mneumonic | 04:09 |
| ubottu | Mneumonic: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:09 |
| chrislu5tic | well.. i'm not a wiz. so.. i wont recommend anythign on that lol | 04:09 |
| Mneumonic | trying the 32 bit version now | 04:10 |
| Grey1001 | quit | 04:12 |
| Mneumonic | installed the 32 bit version, still no way to minimize it and bring it back | 04:12 |
| Janos | Dr_Willis, tried that, removed .dmrc from home, restarted but still got logged to unity and the .dmrc file got recreated with Session=ubuntu on it | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Mneumonic: as a way out there test. try a dock like awn, and see if the icon shows/min/returns with it. | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Janos: try changeint Session=xbmc perhaps? ive not tried the xbmc session here. but i do see it in lightdm | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | it could be xbmc's session is just broken. | 04:14 |
| Janos | Dr_Willis, already trying that, let´s see | 04:14 |
| * tMH is gone. nsf | 04:14 | |
| Dr_Willis | i normally make my own xbmc setup that runs openbox+xbmc | 04:14 |
| Janos | Dr_Willis, if y log in manually i does work, so i don´t think so | 04:14 |
| ronny_ | But you believe that i can save my hard disk with bad blocks?? | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ronny_: hard drives are the weakest link these days. you may get the hd working. but i wouldent trust it with critical stuff.. without a lot of backups | 04:15 |
| Mneumonic | yay installed a third time and it works now, icon on the top panel | 04:15 |
| Mneumonic | very odd | 04:15 |
| Mneumonic | I did nothing different the third time | 04:16 |
| L3top | Janos: I understand your problem, look at /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager | 04:16 |
| Janos | ohh rats, i changed Session=ubuntu to Session=XBMC and restarted, now i´t got back to unity and the filed got changed back to Session=ubuntu | 04:16 |
| Janos | L3top, kk let me check | 04:16 |
| L3top | Janos: you can either put your desired dm in there, or just /bin/false and your other config will takeover prob. | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | i tend to login to unity, and run xbmc on my 2nd monitor. ;0 | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | you are wanting to powerup and autologin to the xbmc desktop? | 04:18 |
| Janos | L3top, that would work, but i do want to use lightdm, and i do want to be able to login with other users to unity, i just want an automatic login after 10 secs to xbmc by default | 04:18 |
| Janos | this used to work and just seem to be broken in 12.04 | 04:18 |

| L3top | you can still use lightdm... it just doesnt start before anything else if you put /bin/false in there | 04:19 |

| L3top | just... try it... it isn't particularly difficult to change back. I think you will understand. | 04:20 |

| DarwinSurvivor | guo: or did they not know how to do it? | 04:41 |
| bazhang | ax562, look at the topic of this channel, for starters | 04:41 |
| ax562 | oh, thanks, thought it was beta | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | guo: using gnome-shell? | 04:41 |
| guo | my system is ubuntu 12.04 | 04:42 |
| ax562 | what's the major difference between 11.10 and 12.04? | 04:42 |

| guo | yes ,use gnome | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome-shell by default i think just has the close button. theres some tweaks for it to show the others | 04:42 |
| newhaskeller | I installed linux on my macbook... ubuntu 11.10 as the sole OS | 04:42 |
| newhaskeller | now after a couple of months, I moved and on startup, the mac shows just a flashing questionmark | 04:43 |
| ibm | I am using ubuntu how can I share my internet from the wireless to the wired connection the easy way like you can do with windows | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !ics | 04:43 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 04:43 |
| newhaskeller | I have some important data ... does anyone know how I can retrieve the data from my hard drive atleast | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | not sure how up to date that ics factoid info is | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | newhaskeller: try booting a live cd - try to access the hard drive | 04:44 |
| guo | install mac os on vritualbox ....just for play | 04:44 |

| dbummy | :split -v | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | yea. the servers for the repos seems back to full speed | 04:52 |
| pythonirc101 | Why this line---> The following packages have been kept back: linux-image-server python-software-properties (apt-get upgrade) | 04:56 |
| guo | because you have other thread install soft... | 04:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pythonirc101: probably because you've upgraded the kernel since your last reboot | 04:57 |
| guo | you should install software one by one | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | an apt-get dist-upgrade may upgrade them all | 04:57 |
| pythonirc101 | Thanks. | 04:58 |
| pythonirc101 | dist-upgrade fired, then will reboot | 04:58 |

| freedomrun | does somebody knows how to get rid of nautilus menubar in it`s window as nautilus menubar is already active in global menu? | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | thats odd that its showing twice | 05:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | freedomrun: you have 2 menu bars? | 05:01 |
| abhijitrucks | ya... me too | 05:01 |
| abhijitrucks | i got 2 menu bars showing | 05:01 |
| freedomrun | yeah | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen people ask hwo to do that. ;) | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like a bug in the global menu. is it just in nautilus? or other apps also? | 05:02 |
| abhijitrucks | nautilus and sometimes chrome | 05:03 |
| pythonirc101 | dist-upgrade gives: Please install the linux-headers-3.0.0-19-server package, or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.0.0-19-server cannot be found. | 05:03 |
| pythonirc101 | what did I do wrong? | 05:03 |
| freedomrun | yeah gedit now too | 05:03 |
| freedomrun | and manny gtk apps | 05:03 |
| BlackWeb | Would anyone know where the config files would be for keyboard shortcuts | 05:04 |
| freedomrun | I figured when that started to happen | 05:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pythonirc101: sounds like one of your applications needs kernel headers at install time, try installing the headers package and see if that fixes it | 05:04 |
| BlackWeb | mainly so i can save the config files then copy and paste on to system thats recently been installed | 05:04 |
| abhijitrucks | anyway... how does gnome 3 look on 12.04? | 05:05 |
| freedomrun | after installation of Marlin file browser (nautilus fork) now after uninstallation of it the problem is still here | 05:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | abhijitrucks: just like gnome 3 on any other distro really... | 05:05 |
| pythonirc101 | DarwinSurvivor: linux-headers-3.0.0-14-server is already the newest version. | 05:06 |
| linuxjones | is facial recognition for login not an option anymore? | 05:06 |
| abhijitrucks | i am getting really annoyed of unity | 05:06 |
| linuxjones | i saw pam facial recognition is pretty much dead, but it looked cool when it worked, is there anything like that around now days? | 05:07 |
| freedomrun | unity is much more logical than g3 | 05:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pythonirc101: yes, -14 is the newest version, but it wants -19. | 05:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | abhijitrucks: if you want to try it out, just install the "gnome-shell" package in the software center, then logout, click the little icon next to your name, chose gnome and log back in | 05:08 |
| freedomrun | I am going to try with sudo dpkg-reconfigure nautilus and report back DarwinSurvivor, to see if some libraries got replaced | 05:09 |
| abhijitrucks | i am installing it right now | 05:09 |
| Guest85494 | Can someone help me with a mouse issue? | 05:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !ask | 05:09 |

| pythonirc101 | DarwinSurvivor: Now when I try to login, it says : Failed to load session ubuntu. | 05:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pythonirc101: have you rebooted yet? | 05:10 |
| abhijitrucks | do i have to restart or just logging out works? | 05:10 |
| pythonirc101 | yes, after reboot, can't login into GUI | 05:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | abramart: just log out | 05:11 |
| Guest85494 | I updated to the most updated kernel in 10.04. Now I can click the maximum, minimum, close buttons fin. But within every window, I have to hold ALT to click anything. How can I fix this? | 05:11 |
| freedomrun_ | nah double menus are still present | 05:11 |
| pythonirc101 | DarwinSurvivor: yes rebooted. I can get inside the text shell. | 05:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | pythonirc101: sorry, I need to leave now. I may be back in a half-hour or so. someone else can probably help you from here | 05:12 |
| Guest85494 | Could this be X config vs Gnome config? | 05:13 |
| Guest85494 | Plus every tip bubble is a transparent bubble with no content (if this helps or another issue) | 05:15 |

| abhijitrucks | can i install previous versions of unity in ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| pythonirc101 | what's the path of default terminal in ubuntu? | 05:25 |
| tensorpudding | /usr/bin/gnome-terminal | 05:26 |
| pythonirc101 | tensorpudding: any ideas how I can get it to stick to my desktop. My desktop menus do not have any terminal | 05:29 |
| tensorpudding | first you should say what your desktop is | 05:29 |
| pythonirc101 | I think its gnome - messed up? | 05:30 |
| pythonirc101 | I just installed unity-desktop-panel-2d because it was giving me an error in ~/.xsession... | 05:30 |
| pythonirc101 | now I get a desktop, but it seems crippled | 05:31 |
| tensorpudding | i don't know why it wouldn't show up there, because i don't use unity 2d | 05:31 |
| tensorpudding | nor have i ever | 05:31 |
| tensorpudding | but i assumed that it would find them the way regular unity does | 05:31 |
| pythonirc101 | ubuntu 11.10 | 05:31 |
| Igmu | I cannot click inside any window, but minimize, maximumize, close, or anything inse the gnome panels. | 05:31 |
| tensorpudding | namely, by looking for .desktop files in /usr/share/applications | 05:31 |
| tensorpudding | make sure you have a gnome-terminal.desktop in /usr/share/applications | 05:32 |
| Igmu | oops, minimze, maximumize, close, gnome panel click correctly. | 05:32 |
| pythonirc101 | tensorpudding: I only have kde4 and screensavers there | 05:33 |
| tensorpudding | eh? | 05:33 |
| tensorpudding | are you sure you're looking in the right place | 05:33 |
| pythonirc101 | yes /usr/share/applications/ | 05:34 |
| tensorpudding | and there is no file gnome-terminal there | 05:34 |
| tensorpudding | ? | 05:34 |
| karthick87 | vinagre is taking too much of time to load. How to fix it up ? | 05:35 |
| tensorpudding | it might appear as Terminal | 05:35 |
| tensorpudding | in the file browser | 05:35 |
| Igmu | Inside any winodw, I must use ALT-click to slect a button. | 05:35 |
| tensorpudding | because the file browser shows .desktop files as launchers because that's what they are | 05:35 |
| pythonirc101 | tensorpudding: there is, my bad | 05:35 |
| kitanokikori | I just installed 12.10 and now I can't get in because of nVidia drivers, what's the command to install the non-Free ones from the terminal? | 05:36 |
| pythonirc101 | gnome-terminal.desktop is there | 05:36 |
| tensorpudding | well | 05:36 |
| tensorpudding | if you double-click it'll launch the terminal | 05:36 |

| crizis | kitanokikori: #ubuntu+1 if you're on 12.10 | 05:36 |
| tensorpudding | if unity-2d works like regular unity you can pin it to the launcher | 05:36 |
| kitanokikori | crizis: Sorry, I'm on 12.04 | 05:37 |
| kitanokikori | Got confused | 05:37 |
| crizis | :)) | 05:37 |
| tensorpudding | not sure if it works that way in unity-2d because i've never used it | 05:37 |
| kitanokikori | Precise | 05:37 |
| crizis | tensorpudding: apt-cache search for 'nvidia', i bet you'll spot the driver package there | 05:37 |
| tensorpudding | i'm not looking | 05:38 |
| kitanokikori | I can't get anywhere but the TTY login, Low Graphics Mode just drops me there | 05:38 |

| ServerCrash | hi how do one create a cron job that has to be run by root ? | 05:46 |
| ServerCrash | if i do crontab -e, it creates cron in users domain, where user cannot run the commands available too root without using sudo | 05:47 |
| ServerCrash | and if sudo is used it asks for password, so how would cron get the password | 05:47 |
| thesheff17 | you can switch to root with sudo su - | 05:47 |
| thesheff17 | then crontab -e | 05:47 |
| popey | thesheff17: sudo crontab -e | 05:47 |

| crus | how come users with /bin/false set for their shell, still see the 'Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04 etc etc" before the SSH connection is closed? | 05:50 |
| crus | is there anyway to stop that? | 05:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | crus: that's the banner, it has nothing to do with their shell | 05:50 |
| crus | how can i configure it so they don't get a banner if they have /bin/false ? ;O | 05:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | crus: look for "banner" or "issue" in your sshd_config file | 05:50 |
| crus | I still want the banner for valid users | 05:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | crus: I don't think you can. the banner is presented before it even checks the shell, you can turn it off for everyone though. | 05:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | crus: you *may* be able to add scripting to it (like what ubuntu does for showing what updates are available) | 05:51 |
| crus | DarwinSurvivor: Ah bummer! :( thanks for ya help. | 05:51 |
| lng | hi! after do-release-upgrade, I cannot see Gnome close, minimize icons window bar. How to fix it? | 05:52 |
| crus | DarwinSurvivor: the /etc/ssh/sshd_config has banner commented out already :O | 05:53 |
| ServerCrash | cront job 0/5 * * * * sh foo.sh will run every five min, am i right | 05:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | crus: the value that's commented out is probably the default. open the file it references (/etc/issue.net i *believe*) and see if changing it makes a difference. | 05:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ServerCrash: change that to */5 instead of 0/5 | 05:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ServerCrash: to remember which one to use it means "any number divisible by five) | 05:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ServerCrash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#Examples_2 has some good examples | 05:56 |
| ServerCrash | DarwinSurvivor, thx, ya that idea struck and i fixed the same :) | 05:57 |
| KrizOne | Hi guys im running ubuntu server and i am trying to SFTP as a specific user but currently only ubuntu can login via ssh, is there a way to enable another user to have remote access, using a .pem key just like ubuntu the user? | 05:58 |
| c_nick | I have currently uploaded a couple of mp3 files on my webserver But whenever I click on them they get downloaded by default. I want to play the file on the webserver itself.. How can i integrate VLC Player so that the files start playing by default | 06:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: what are you using to display them? | 06:01 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | Good Day : Question: i want to calculate yesterday date, is this command correct ? YESTERDAY=`TZ=GMT+29 date +%Y%m%d`; i am on GMT + 5 ... | 06:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | miss_ubuntu_: sounds like a good question for the #bash channel | 06:02 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: just normal | 06:02 |
| leto_ | krizone, not quite understanding. do you want to create another sftp account? | 06:03 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: well, how did you transfer it there and how are you clicking on it. | 06:03 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | hi DarwinSurvivor .. thanks for input , already asked there , no reply :| | 06:03 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: they get listed as normal grid.. which is basic way I am not explicitely doing anything to display them | 06:03 |
| KrizOne | leto_, yeah sorry im a bit confused haha, basically i have a user on the machine i want to login as via sftp but it wont let me, i can only login as "ubuntu" | 06:03 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: its my apache2 server.. i copy the files in a new folder under /var/www | 06:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: ok, then apache. apache does not play music, you need to use some kind of music server or make some custom php scripts (php not advised for security reasons) | 06:04 |
| leto_ | krizone, do you login with a password or are you using key authentication? | 06:04 |
| KrizOne | leto_, key's | 06:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: is this an intranet-only setup, or internet-wide? | 06:05 |
| leto_ | krizone, create another user account and upload your computer's public key to the server | 06:05 |
| leto_ | for that account | 06:05 |
| leto_ | once that's done, you can sftp in | 06:05 |
| c_nick | intranet | 06:05 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: Intranet | 06:06 |
| e8johan | I just upgraded my MacBookPro 8.1 (13" with Intel graphics) to 12.04... now the screen flickers every 2-3 seconds when I run with an external display... | 06:06 |
| KrizOne | leto_, so i upload the .pem as the user i want to be, which dir does it go in? | 06:06 |
| e8johan | my google-fu is too bad to find any bug for this... so I just wonder if anyone else has seen it | 06:06 |
| leto_ | krizone, ~/.ssh | 06:06 |
| e8johan | the ext mon is a Cinemadisplay... | 06:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: I have a similar setup at home (large speakers connected to headless system). I use mpd for my music system. | 06:07 |
| KrizOne | danke | 06:07 |
| BlackWeb | How would you use ssh through over the internet, I've heard of it being done but can only seem to get it to work on a LAN | 06:07 |
| c_nick | Darwin but how to stream ? Forget the speakers and all | 06:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: mpd is a service that all it does is play and organize music, it has *no* interface (except raw sockets). you then use a second application to control it. The cool thing is that the second application can be on another computer if you wish | 06:08 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: meaning when i click on the song.. it should open in VLC Player.. and not download as normal file | 06:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: oh, you want to stream FROM the server! | 06:08 |
| leto_ | krizone, upload as ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 06:08 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: Yes | 06:08 |
| KrizOne | leto_, ok cool | 06:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: you said you wanted to play them on the webserver, completely different | 06:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: you could always set up a shared folder and then connect to that instead of apache | 06:09 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: oh sorry.. actually what i want is when someone goes to my webserver and select the file there they are not required to download or anything just click and it plays in the borwser itself | 06:09 |
| KrizOne | leto_, do i need to restart ssh? its not working atm :S | 06:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: then that's not "intranet-only", that is "internet-wide"! | 06:10 |
| leto_ | krizone, no, restart is not necessary | 06:11 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | hey u can try first creating webserver on ur laptop , integrate a music player , check http://listen2myradio.com/ | 06:11 |

| KrizOne | leto_, http://pastebin.com/jMWqFU7Q | 06:13 |

| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: how big is your intranet? | 06:13 |

| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: its not really that big.. just 10 computers | 06:15 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | krizone u might want to backup ur keys before generating new ones | 06:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: it just seems to me like you're doing this the hard way... | 06:15 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: i am using apache for my webserver.. not really using it for streaming | 06:15 |
| KrizOne | oh XD | 06:15 |
| ImperialDroid | lol | 06:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: why not just use a shared folder? they can then use nautilus (or just their music program) and stream at the FILE level instead of the audio-stream level | 06:15 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: nope want to stream :) | 06:16 |
| c_nick | better User Experience ;) | 06:16 |
| leto_ | krizone, ya keep copy of your key before doing anything :0 | 06:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: I use nfs at my house, that way anyone can just open the shared music folder and play what-ever they like locally. In fact, that's how I play MY music. I have my music program index the shared folder and play directly out of it | 06:16 |
| KrizOne | leto_, there is no key user at the moment | 06:16 |
| KrizOne | i am just su'ingto it | 06:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: how is that a better user experience (having to open a web browser to play music)?!? | 06:17 |
| KrizOne | key for the user* | 06:17 |
| leto_ | i mean the public key for your local machine | 06:17 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: i prefered it that way | 06:17 |
| c_nick | DarwinSurvivor: its actually a requirement not a preference | 06:17 |
| KrizOne | leto_, my local box is a windows 7 box lol, can putty gen help me with this? | 06:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | c_nick: if you set up a shared folder, all they have to do is tell their music program to add that folder (once) and the music ends up in their regular music collection | 06:17 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | c_nick did u try : Apache server, you can add the following line to your httpd.conf file:AddType audio/x-mp3 .mp3 | 06:18 |
| leto_ | krizone, oh windows 7, im not very experienced with putty sry | 06:19 |
| KrizOne | leto_, no dramas | 06:19 |

| bluesnow | I don't really understand the one-file-system explanation for the -x option of rsync | 06:46 |
| dr--willis | matrox - egads.. ;) how old is that thing? | 06:46 |
| ferni | you dont get any fancy resolutions or effects out of proliants graphics cards, they are there just for you to show some picture | 06:47 |
| vll | dr--willis: yes , old card | 06:47 |
| jagginess | !malay | 06:47 |
| dr--willis | vll most likely the drivers are allready included. | 06:47 |
| vll | dr--willis: o , how to know | 06:48 |
| ferni | i've had many proliants with similar matrox cards and i would not suggest to use them as "desktop" | 06:48 |
| dr--willis | vll perhaps tell us yiur actual problrem.. | 06:48 |
| primenumber | happens about 2 minutes in from boot | 06:48 |
| dr--willis | the vga is a default/last ditch/all-else-fails sort of fallback driver | 06:49 |
| primenumber | I was going to ask if anyone else has a recurring system error on 12.04 after the upgrade. 2 systems - laptop and desktop both do this... | 06:49 |
| primenumber | happens about 2 minutes in from boot | 06:49 |
| mardraum | bluesnow: if you specify a location to rsync recursively, and in that location is another mountpoint, it will not enter it | 06:50 |
| primenumber | Hi all is this the right place to ask questions? | 06:51 |
| vll | dr--willis: on untiy 12.04 desktop , the feel is slow | 06:51 |
| dr--willis | vll given how low end that card is.. im suprised it works at all. you may wan tto try lubuntu/lxde | 06:51 |
| bluesnow | mardraum: Thanks. If I want to back up my entire file system and ubuntu installation, should I use -x? | 06:51 |
| mardraum | no. | 06:52 |

| mardraum | bluesnow: do you have it mounted? | 06:53 |
| _B00 | oops :-D | 06:53 |
| dr--willis | !backup | 06:53 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:53 |

| mardraum | I don't know sorry, I don't use whatever gui you have | 06:54 |
| mardraum | you can exclude a filesystem easily in rsync | 06:54 |
| bluesnow | Oh okay, thanks. | 06:54 |
| mardraum | personally, I don't bother backing up unix systems, just the configs and user data. | 06:54 |

| mardraum | for ubuntu, you just need your config and list of installed packages, crontabs etc | 06:55 |
| dr--willis | !clone | 06:55 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 06:55 |
| bluesnow | Okay. The package installer seems to place folders in alot of different places, though | 06:56 |
| popey | vll: you don't need sudo for xrandr | 06:56 |
| ferni | vll: I'd be suprised if you get anything above 1024x768. as I said, if you are trying to use it as a desktop, forget it. or just live with the limitations of its graphics card | 06:56 |
| dr--willis | bluesnow: it puts files where they need to go | 06:56 |
| bluesnow | dr--willis: Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out what to tell rsync to backup | 06:57 |
| vll | ferni: ok | 06:57 |
| dr--willis | bluesnow: id just use clonzilla | 06:57 |
| dr--willis | clonezilla | 06:57 |
| dr--willis | bluesnow: i just backup my home dir | 06:57 |
| ferni | hp proliant is a "server" and so its graphics card is just basic | 06:58 |
| bluesnow | dr-willis: I have a lot of installed packages in usr/bin | 06:58 |
| bluesnow | And they seem to have depedency files scattered around | 06:58 |
| popey | bluesnow: what are you backing up onto? | 06:58 |
| bluesnow | popey: An external hard drive with 300 GB of free space | 06:59 |
| dr--willis | bluesnow: tthe package manager can easially reinstall that stuff | 06:59 |
| dr--willis | bluesnow: i backup whole filesystems.. normally | 06:59 |
| bluesnow | okay, I think I'll just try to back up most of it anyway. Thanks :) | 07:00 |
| dr--willis | not much point in just backing up /bin or /usr/bin | 07:02 |
| dr--willis | backup your whole install and/or your home | 07:02 |
| bluesnow | Yeah. Does telling rsync to back up / also back up the file systems under "Devices"? | 07:02 |
| dr--willis | i wouldent be using rsync for this. | 07:02 |
| dr--willis | tobackup your /home/ then rsync makes more sence | 07:03 |
| dr--willis | for / - id do a image type backup | 07:03 |
| * popey recommends rsnapshot for backups rather than just rsync | 07:03 | |
| dr--willis | mos likely if you used rsync, you wouldent have the skill pfrom rsync anyway ;) i know i dont.. | 07:04 |

| sary | how about dh -i ! | 07:41 |
| sary | Err, df -i | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen some people have issues with using that tmpfs for /tmp/ | 07:42 |
| jagginess | sary, /tmp doesn't always have to be mounted via tmpfs | 07:43 |
| jagginess | sary, if /tmp is mounted as tmpfs, then it is in ram. | 07:44 |

| abhinavmehta | I'm trying to use dual-monitor setup on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, using Nvidia GForce 9600GT...but not able to do so.. | 07:49 |
| sary | jagginess: right . | 07:49 |
| abhinavmehta | In Settings->Display-> not showing second monitor. I removed one cable each time, to see that cables are connected properly and monitors working fine...it works by than, not showing 1-monitor when both of them are connected. | 07:50 |
| abhinavmehta | anyone here, who can help me to setup dual-monitors on Ubuntu 12.04??? | 07:51 |
| fidel_ | abhinavmehta: in theory you should be able to enable the second monitor in the nv-config-gui | 07:53 |
| sary | c0rnel: so , what is the situation , are you stuck somewhere on the boot process , or in an upgrade attempt .. | 07:53 |
| abhinavmehta | fidel_, but I'm not able to see that in nv-config-gui | 07:54 |
| abhinavmehta | fidel_, infact, I'm not able to open nv-config-gui in Alt+F2 | 07:54 |
| fidel_ | abhinavmehta: i cant really help you there - but in fact you have several ways to go with your nv card. either use the driver ubuntu provides - or the one nv is offering | 07:55 |
| fidel_ | i had a similar issue with my 2 screens at home - as i wasnt sure how to fix it properly i rely right now on kdm which seems to handle dual-display-setups out of the box better then lightdm or gdm does in this specific setup | 07:56 |
| fidel_ | but i am using the driver from nv direct as well - which makes the setup pretty special i assume | 07:57 |
| syn-ack | fidel_, sounds like you | 07:59 |
| syn-ack | 're gonna have to hack together an xorg.config by hand. | 07:59 |
| fidel_ | syn-ack: i am not asking for help here - a user was - which left now ;) | 08:00 |
| fidel_ | but thanks for the diagnose which fits to mine hehe | 08:01 |
| syn-ack | Oh shoot. I didn't notice he left so I made a moafu's. :p | 08:01 |
| syn-ack | I assumed. :P | 08:01 |
| fidel_ | there he is again | 08:01 |
| c0rnel | sary, the system was no longer booting. i did this: touch /forcefsck and much to my surprise, that fixed it | 08:02 |
| abhinavmehta | fidel_, thanks pal...I'll try to fix this nv-direct(if I could), else I will switch to kdm. Well pointers/bookmarks (any-if)you have to read how to setup nv-direct?? | 08:03 |
| syn-ack | What' | 08:04 |
| syn-ack | dang it | 08:04 |
| syn-ack | What's the difference between the nv-direct and others? | 08:04 |
| c0rnel | how can i verify the integrity of the installed packages? | 08:04 |
| c0rnel | i've updated and found that there was no free space on / | 08:04 |
| fidel_ | abhinavmehta: using the nv driver direct from nv brings other issues with it - basically each time the kernel gets updated via apt | 08:04 |
| fidel_ | so in theory - using the driver from nv directly isnt the best way to go - at least if you want to avoid manually hacking over and over again | 08:05 |
| abhinavmehta | fidel_: ok, so switching to kdm is the only best option ? | 08:06 |
| auronandace | abhinavmehta: whats wrong with lightdm? | 08:06 |
| abhinavmehta | auronandace: getting problem with setting up dual-monitors. | 08:07 |
| abhinavmehta | auronandace: and while talking with fidel_ it seems like kdm is option to fix dual-monitor issue. | 08:07 |
| auronandace | abhinavmehta: odd, the display manager should make a difference | 08:08 |
| auronandace | shouldn't | 08:08 |
| abhinavmehta | auronandace, in display manager I can't see my second monitor. | 08:08 |
| auronandace | abhinavmehta: log in | 08:08 |
| auronandace | abhinavmehta: as far as i know you aren't meant to see it | 08:09 |
| syn-ack | Nah, I've got both mine. | 08:09 |
| abhinavmehta | auronandace: (repasting issue) I'm trying to use dual-monitor setup on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, using Nvidia GForce 9600GT...but not able to do so In Settings->Display-> not showing second monitor. I removed one cable each time, to see that cables are connected properly and monitors working fine...it works by than, not showing 1-monitor when both of them are connected. | 08:09 |
| syn-ack | My secondary just mirrors though till I log in | 08:09 |

| branant | abhinavmehta: Did you install the proprietary nVidia driver? | 08:10 |
| krababbel | abhinavmehta: that should be a problem with lightdm? | 08:10 |
| krababbel | not | 08:10 |
| abhinavmehta | branant, yes..I've actiavte nvidia drivers. | 08:10 |
| abhinavmehta | krababbel: than what else could be the problem...things were running fine in 10.04LTs | 08:11 |
| branant | abhinavmehta: Then use the nVidia tool to configure the screens insetad of the built in Display | 08:11 |
| auronandace | abhinavmehta: changing to kdm won't fix it | 08:12 |
| sary | c0rnel: aha , you did a file system check , nice thinkin . | 08:12 |
| krababbel | abhinavmehta: did you try the mentioned nvidia configuration tool? they have their own method for dual monitor setup i think | 08:12 |
| angel282 | Hello, I would like to know if it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS? if so, how can I do it? | 08:12 |

| abhinavmehta | branant: I'm no idea how to configure using nvidia configuration tool....plz can you provide pointyers. | 08:13 |
| krababbel | abhinavmehta: lightdm just shows you a login screen, has nothing to do with this | 08:13 |
| abhinavmehta | *pointers | 08:13 |
| c0rnel | sary, (google) | 08:13 |
| c0rnel | :) | 08:13 |
| auronandace | angel282: better to wait till it gets offered by your update manager | 08:13 |
| krababbel | abhinavmehta: you should have an nvidia icon in programs | 08:13 |
| abhinavmehta | oh..got it. :) Now I understood what you guys trying to tell me. | 08:13 |
| auronandace | angel282: you can check to see if the settings will prompt you regarding lts releases | 08:13 |
| sary | c0rnel: i think you could do so with debsums http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/debsums.1.html | 08:13 |
| DJones | angel282: LTS versions will offer the upgrade once 12.04.1 is released, there is a delay for LTS to LTS upgrades to let the release settle down | 08:14 |
| abhinavmehta | thank you auronandace, fidel_, krababbel, branant :) | 08:14 |
| branant | abhinavmehta: yes, look for the nvidia configuration utility in applications and just arrange the screens how you like it there | 08:14 |
| abhinavmehta | branant: yeah did the same. | 08:15 |
| angel282 | DJones: I see.. do you have some estimation when the release will be published? | 08:15 |

| karthick87 | I have installed ubuntu 12.04 & i am configured Thunderbird. But it Keeps loading on "Building summary file for inbox" How to fix it ? | 08:24 |
| auronandace | angel282: the -d flag implies development, it will bring you to the latest development release | 08:26 |
| sary | karakedi: no need to repet .. a simple search would give you something like http://askubuntu.com/questions/60690/thunderbird-building-summary-file-for-inbox-error | 08:26 |
| DJones | angel282: To upgrade from 10.04LTS, I think you will have to go to 12.04, normally you would go to 10.10 but that reached its end of life in April 2012 | 08:26 |

| sary | exalt: have you followed instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting | 08:30 |
| angel282 | Jordan_U: no, because it's a dedicated server which I purchased over the net, but I already recovered the server back to 10.04 LTS, I am just trying to find the best way to upgrade the version | 08:30 |
| Hanan | is iptables enabled by default | 08:30 |
| Hanan | ? | 08:30 |
| angel282 | Jordan_U: I must upgrade at least to higher version because I need to use some packages that not supported on 10.04 LTS | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | angel282: I assume that the server is running under a virtual machine? | 08:31 |
| syn-ack | Hanan, What does sudo iptable -L tell you? :P | 08:31 |
| fr_ | hello | 08:31 |
| syn-ack | iptables, too | 08:31 |
| sary | Hey | 08:31 |
| exalt | sary: yes but some things reacted differently, i spend a whole weekend getting it to boot. last evening it dit still not react all like they say in the UEFIBooting page but it did boot | 08:32 |
| angel282 | Jordan_U: I think so, but I am not sure, I've purchased this package - http://iweb.com/smart-server-hosting/overview | 08:32 |
| abhijitrucks | how do i change mouse pointers in ubuntu 12.04? | 08:32 |
| exalt | sary: mind that its written before ubuntu 12.04 | 08:32 |
| sary | exalt: right . | 08:33 |
| Hanan | syn-ack: i have donwloaded gfuw (graphic app for the firewall configuration), and there it seems that the firewall is off, although i can see the tables with iptables -L | 08:33 |
| angel282 | Jordan_U: I think it using some virtualization service named "Xen" | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | angel282: Since it uses Xen, there is a chance (depending on how it's configured) that you can't upgrade the kernel itself, because the kernel is loaded by the virtual machine software separately from the VM image, and thus can't be changed from within the VM. If that's the case, any upgrade not following your hosting service's procedures will probably fail. | 08:35 |
| exalt | sary: i think the problem is dat the ubuntu installer tries to install an uefi grub but fails somewhere, and therefore the tutorial UEFIBooting reacts differently | 08:36 |
| h_v | Anyone come across an issue where a user cannot log in? It's credentials are fine as I can su to it but it won't log in, just returns to the log in screen without error. I've removed Xauthority and chowned it back to itself but still no luck. | 08:36 |
| angel282 | Jordan_U: in the upgrade process I was asked if I want to upgrade the grub and I said no, can this be the cause why the server not booting up after the upgrade? | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | angel282: It's possible. What was the exact message? | 08:37 |
| sary | exalt: i have never tried install ubuntu with uefi boot mode , i hope someone know something about .. as search result didn't say much regarding the errors you get . | 08:37 |
| syn-ack | Hanan, The Firewall ships disabled out of the box. | 08:37 |
| angel282 | Jordan_U: I don't have it right now, but let me try to upgrade again .. and I will be able to write you the message content | 08:38 |

| abhijitrucks | hey! how do i change mouse pointers? is there a gui app? | 08:38 |
| syn-ack | Hanan, use ufw | 08:38 |
| h_v | bohemian9485: so never got it working? | 08:38 |
| syn-ack | Hanan, gufw is simply a front end to ufw, which in and of it's self is a frontend to iptables. | 08:39 |
| bohemian9485 | h_v: no | 08:39 |
| h_v | bohemian9485: hmmm surely it's just a permission error or something somewhere but nothing obvious that I can find. | 08:40 |
| Jordan_U | angel282: It looks like iweb has a live chat support on their website. Have you tried that yet? | 08:40 |
| sary | exalt: on a desktop or a laptop , and what make and model , if known. | 08:40 |
| angel282 | Jordan_U: I've started the upgrade process in the meanwhile I will try to ask them on the chat if there is some iweb tutorial etc.. | 08:41 |
| bohemian9485 | h_v: seems like it, the error occured while I was setting permission for wireshark | 08:41 |
| Jordan_U | angel282: Ask them if they support their Ubuntu configuration being upgraded. | 08:42 |
| sary | exalt: a clue / hint .. http://askubuntu.com/questions/130392/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-uefi-enabled-hp-pavilion-hpe-h9-tower | 08:42 |
| angel282 | Jordan_U: by the way another thing if I edit the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal; so the upgrade working and I can upgrade to 11.04 (I think) and it working server working after reboot, but when I try to run another upgrade to 12.04 so I have the same problem server not responding to ssh after reboot | 08:45 |

| Guest36830 | if i get evolution unistall my system goes down and this is the 3rd time i have install it back into my pc :( | 09:42 |
| sary | am not sure about inel , but AMD CPUs should be at or below 70C they will start causing errors .. lemme check about intel | 09:43 |
| nina666 | sary thanks. | 09:46 |
| Guest36830 | can anyone help me??? Or is that a question for gnome not ubuntu? | 09:47 |

| rhorstkoetter | I'm looking forward building a bare bones ubuntu install to use as a hypervisor for virtualbox (i.e. poor man's client virtualization) and I'm a bit confused about the different install options. | 09:48 |

| ubottu | Guest36830: 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/ | 09:48 |
| rhorstkoetter | server installs an optimized kernel? optimized for what? | 09:48 |
| rhorstkoetter | jeos installs a kernel optimized for a linux guest vm > not what I need | 09:48 |
| Guest36830 | i am trying to unistall apps like evolution and when i do so gnome crashes cause it dependent on it same with some games | 09:49 |
| rhorstkoetter | ubuntu minimal (from alternate install) leads to ubuntu desktop without desktop so to speak | 09:49 |
| rhorstkoetter | and last but not least there is mini.iso that seems to be desktop iso grabbing packages online | 09:49 |

| pfifo | I notice my programs start a little slower on 12.04 than on 10.04, im using disk encryption, with ext2 file system. | 09:49 |
| Guest36830 | i am too new and I tried that and end up with some odd screen with white writing and back lol | 09:49 |
| rhorstkoetter | is that correct so far? | 09:50 |
| nina666 | sary, someone says below 70C is ok. but my concern is, when I used windows previously on this, it never got heated up this much. as well as once i installed backtrack as OS, and after installing proprietary drivers and following that post i mentioned the link at the begining, it never got heated up this much anymore... so this is something with ubuntu 12.04 | 09:50 |
| gry | Guest36830: ok, gnome depends on evolution. Sorry, you can't uninstall it. | 09:50 |
| Guest36830 | so gnome is not open source? | 09:51 |
| DarsVaeda | how do I get gimp to display in the launcher and tab-switch of unity? | 09:51 |
| Guest36830 | :( | 09:51 |
| gry | Guest36830: yes it is | 09:51 |
| gry | Guest36830: it's open source | 09:51 |
| Guest36830 | are they trying to become close source like windows why are they doing that with apps like games too? | 09:51 |
| Guest36830 | i tried deleting games and same result gnome crashed :( | 09:52 |

| nina666 | akem, done that | 09:53 |
| ferni | evolution is not required for gnome, just the evolutio data server | 09:53 |
| sary | nina666: aha , then it could be sometning to do with the kernel chiped with 12.04 .. might find a kernel boot option to set in GRUB. | 09:54 |
| Guest36830 | oh is KDE like gnome and has to have games and evolution to work is there another desktop i can use instead of gnome that more open source like android and less like windows? | 09:54 |
| nina666 | sary, yes and i have already done this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/linux-kernel-power-issue-fix.html | 09:55 |
| sary | nina666: also , just food for a thoguht .. a BIOS upgrade might be required , or if there is a fan setting in your BIOS . | 09:55 |
| ferni | aspm is fixed in 12.04 | 09:55 |
| nina666 | sary, oh ok... that is one thing i never thought about ! :) | 09:55 |
| ferni | see lspci -vv |grep ASPM | 09:56 |
| sary | nina666: alright , let me see which option/s you tried .. | 09:56 |
| fidel_ | Guest36830: you are still misinterpreting the closed vs open source topic i guess | 09:56 |
| gry | Guest36830: lxde kde gnome xfce are few desktop environments | 09:56 |
| nina666 | ferni, so you mean we shouldnt set it to pcie_aspm=force? | 09:56 |
| gry | Guest36830: you can find descriptions in software center and that would be 'lubuntu-desktop' 'xubuntu-desktop' 'kubuntu-desktop' 'ubuntu-desktop' (gnome) to give them a try | 09:57 |
| fidel_ | Guest36830: in case you have > 1 desktop-environment installed you can choose them at at login screen | 09:57 |

| sary | gryyyyyyyy , good to see you mate :) | 09:58 |
| gry | hi sary | 09:58 |
| Guest36830 | gry with is more open to customization desktops like android where you can do anything you like on it and add apps you want and delete those you don't want and less like apple where you are stuck with evolution or IE like apps? | 10:00 |

| fidel_ | Guest36830: you can install and remove most apps (in case there arent needed based on depencies) ignoring what you use gnome/xfce/whatever else | 10:00 |
| gry | Guest36830: concepts 'custimizable' and 'open source' aren't always directly related, but if you find gnome lacking you can try one of the other desktop environments, or just ask here if you have specific items you find difficult or impossible to customise | 10:01 |

| sary | nina666: Actually , looking at some forums other people have complained about overheating when upgrading to Windows 7 as well. There were BIOS updates to fix this But if Windows 7 was having problems with it then there was something wrong in the BIOS .. but again as you stated the heat did not occuerred while running other distro. | 10:03 |

| Guest20643 | is that distro more customizable ? | 10:07 |
| LjL | Guest20643: ask in the #archlinux channel, or in #ubuntu-offtopic ;) | 10:07 |

| fidel_ | Guest20643: in case you consider yourself a starter with linux - i wouldnt advice you to use arch - but thats just my feeling | 10:07 |
| fidel_ | Guest20643: and you still dont get the concept of desktop-environments vs distris | 10:08 |
| Guest20643 | true..... | 10:08 |
| fidel_ | you can i.e. install gnome again in arch - so you end up with the same or at least similar desktop-environment | 10:08 |

| derpadroid | and can fast swith to any desktop you want with a flickof a finger | 10:29 |
| derpadroid | so is it there yet? | 10:29 |
| bobweaver | scriptwarlock, what are you doing with unity ? making a lens or a scope ? | 10:29 |
| sary | CuteKitty: have you md5 test the iso .. | 10:29 |
| johnm | derpadroid: it's not beein updated in 7 years, it was only ever a small hoby project, and it has a tiny userbase. It was based off evilwm, which I think may exist in a PPA, and there are also many small window managers out there too. Id suggest if you think it should exist, start up a PPA and package it - it'll be easy, it's unlikely to need much maintainence ;) | 10:29 |
| Guest20643 | how do i go to mint channel i think i found a new home I like mint kde how do i use xchat to get to mint channel? | 10:29 |
| Wizard | NimeshNeema, ? | 10:29 |
| scriptwarlock | bobweaver, got strange issues on unity | 10:29 |
| derpadroid | lo johnm subscribe @john to openbsd ports | 10:29 |
| CuteKitty | sary, should i md5 test the iso on my hard drive or on the usb stick? | 10:29 |
| derpadroid | it was updated afew weeks ago | 10:30 |
| scriptwarlock | bobweaver, a sudden transfer of some apps to other workspace is strange | 10:30 |
| derpadroid | so was tmux | 10:30 |
| NimeshNeema | Wizard: sorry. it was by mistake | 10:30 |
| CuteKitty | oh, it's not an iso file anymore on usb stick. sary, i'll do md5test on hard drive | 10:30 |
| Wizard | NimeshNeema, no problem :) | 10:30 |
| johnm | derpadroid: is it still being maintained by Marius, because he's npot said or posted anytinga bout it in years | 10:30 |
| sary | CuteKitty: you should md5 test the iso before burnning the iso to the usb stick or other media. | 10:30 |
| bobweaver | scriptwarlock, is that unity or compiz or what ? | 10:30 |
| johnm | derpadroid: none the less, my point stands. Why don't you start a PPA for it? | 10:30 |
| derpadroid | pssh too bad for him | 10:30 |
| derpadroid | sure sure | 10:30 |
| derpadroid | conky and all | 10:30 |
| johnm | derpadroid: You know I'm talking about Marius, the original author of calmwm right? | 10:31 |
| johnm | which is why I asked. | 10:31 |
| derpadroid | nope. didnt know. | 10:31 |
| CuteKitty | sary, md5 test is OK | 10:31 |
| bobweaver | scriptwarlock, if a % of the window like 90% is in one area it might go to that area not sure thou testing.... | 10:31 |
| bobweaver | yup that is it ^^ scriptwarlock | 10:31 |
| derpadroid | anyway lets get calm wm in the ubuntu tree | 10:32 |
| derpadroid | w/ OpenBSD of course | 10:32 |
| scriptwarlock | bobweaver, yeah thats an issue of mixxx but google chrome in a minimize is also same? | 10:32 |
| johnm | then please mind your sarcastic responses, I'm attempting to help. There are a lot of epople in here seemingly complaining that the world on a stick doesnt exist in the repos, yet every tool required to make it so exists. It wouldn't be hard for you to make a start, start a ppa, log a bug, request for it to be accepted | 10:32 |
| derpadroid | man - all you people pissed johnm off. | 10:33 |
| johnm | if you really want it in the repo, I suggest you start doing so yourself and give people a reason to consider it. Also, I don't think you'll see OBSD in the repo ;) | 10:33 |
| belyle | Righty-O :) vsftpd is up and running and anonymous can log in. Is it good practice to change it so that local users can log in, or should I keep local users and ftp seperate? | 10:33 |
| sary | CuteKitty: from the livecd menu .. you see them F-keys on the bottom , right. | 10:33 |
| derpadroid | bet john | 10:33 |
| derpadroid | bet | 10:33 |
| derpadroid | ill take you up on that offr matter factg | 10:34 |

| dury | is it gnome classic in release 11.10 gnome3? | 10:43 |
| Wizard | scorpiorian83, This is more suitable for #java. As far as I remember you need aditional jars to start with j2me. | 10:43 |

| BaconAttack_ | hey guys, is there anyway to install ubuntu 12.04 without unity? kinda like the old interface back in the 10.xx releases | 10:48 |
| CuteKitty | sary, what's confusing you? | 10:48 |
| Wizard | GantsA, Read Advanced Bash Scripting for further tricks. | 10:48 |
| Wizard | BaconAttack_, You can choose derivative like Xubuntu or Kubuntu or install with Unity and than add Gnome Fallback session. | 10:49 |
| GantsA | thanks, wizard, i tried, but i know almost nothing about bash script, and i got confused about simple things | 10:49 |
| Wizard | GantsA, Read ABS then. | 10:49 |
| GantsA | i will try to make the script and see if evrything runs ok | 10:49 |
| sary | CuteKitty: as to what point you get stuck , aslo do you happen to have any external devices attached to the machine. | 10:50 |
| Wizard | GantsA, It's a really nice tutorial, it starts from basics. | 10:50 |
| dury | Wizard: keyboard shortcuts for the gnome desktop in 11.10 release | 10:50 |

| CuteKitty | sary, nothing attached except my Live USB stick. | 10:50 |
| GantsA | where i can read it? | 10:50 |
| GantsA | i will need to learn more commands for more advanced things soon | 10:50 |
| CuteKitty | sary, here's what i see: black screen, then white ubuntu words in center, with 5 or 6 dots underneeath | 10:50 |
| Wizard | GantsA, Google for it, it's available for free. | 10:50 |
| CuteKitty | then black screen | 10:50 |
| CuteKitty | then after 3 minutes, sary, i stop it. | 10:51 |
| CuteKitty | sary, i reboot after seeing black screen for 3-5 mintuse | 10:51 |
| BaconAttack_ | Wizard, Right now i have it running on xubuntu but it runs a little quirky. for some reason it just loses its permissions to write files anywhere. I tried ubuntu 11.10 and unity just made my machine run way too sluggish. is the fallback session something that is just as is says, a fallback, or can it be used for daily tasks? | 10:51 |

| sary | CuteKitty: then press 'e' .. | 10:58 |
| Wizard | dury, Sure. | 10:58 |

| prosthetics | anyone? | 10:58 |
| dury | Wizard: thanks mate | 10:58 |
| dury | Wizard: really appreciate it | 10:58 |

| slyborg | prosthetics: way out of my knowledge base | 10:59 |
| sary | CuteKitty: go to the line that start with boot /linux .. | 10:59 |
| prosthetics | bummer, its just such a huge pain that i cant get any logs outta it :( | 10:59 |
| prosthetics | u know, hard to diagnose something when it just goes "working working working CRUNCH" | 10:59 |
| dury | Wizard: just to say that there is big difference between 11.04 and 11.10 | 10:59 |
| slyborg | prosthetics: lol bet it is, i'd ask it again at another time and search for same probz on the forum, someone else has myb encountered it | 11:00 |
| dury | Wizard: I'm enthusiast of classic gnome | 11:00 |
| dury | Wizard: In 11.10 it changes so much | 11:00 |
| scorpiorian83 | slyborg: erm my bottom right panel is the workspace thingy where you can switch around. i do see rubbish bin on the left tabs in the window you mentioned but unable to drag it. | 11:01 |
| prosthetics | righto.. well , im off for now | 11:01 |
| dury | Wizard: In 11.10 release is it gnome3 | 11:01 |
| === pedro_ is now known as Guest16330 | ||
| dury | Wizard: even in release 12.04? | 11:01 |

| CuteKitty | sary, then what? | 11:02 |
| scorpiorian83 | slyborg: ok erm btw mine is the latest ubuntu plus i installed the gnome classic just in case. sorry for the trouble. | 11:02 |
| slyborg | scorpiorian83: if it isnt there in your modded 12.04 desktop, try right clicking on the bottom panel, clicking add to panel and in that list there should be the rubbish bin | 11:03 |

| Wizard | dury, Enjoy. | 11:07 |

| ejo | Hi. I'm running Unity 3D (i checked to be sure), and I recently ran "unity --reset" to correct some problems I was having, which worked OK. Now the one problem remaining is the launcher opacity does not change no matter what settings I make. I have tried CCSM, MyUnity, and Ubuntu-Tweak. | 11:12 |
| dury | TehSpede: didn't know that either | 11:12 |
| supernova | this is the last line of the entire output | 11:12 |
| Wizard | supernova, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 11:13 |
| Wizard | This should tell us more. | 11:13 |
| dury | great for Linux | 11:13 |
| Wizard | mhs, You would have to download sources and change it in sources, than compile ;] | 11:13 |
| mhs | Wizard: Ah, no problem then. Cheers. :) | 11:13 |
| dury | the more I use the more I like it :-) | 11:13 |
| koemski | TehSpede: thx | 11:14 |
| supernova | i did that | 11:14 |
| supernova | and the command executed without anything | 11:14 |
| ejo | The utilities I've tried have been able to resize the launcher and change its hiding behavior as desired. But it seems they are unable to get the launcher to change opacity no matter what I do. | 11:14 |

| sk1special | tweaks/desktop/unity | 11:18 |

| Wizard | supernova, This is the output on my Asus. | 11:19 |
| sk1special | ejo : ahh. then id say close it / reopen make sure the setting is saving / restart pc .. then idk :] | 11:19 |
| ejo | sk1special: strangely, everything else in Ubuntu Tweak works. In fact it can set the opacity for the panel at the top of the screen. But not for the launcher. | 11:20 |
| supernova | nothing | 11:20 |
| ejo | sk1special: I'll try another reboot... sometimes that just works | 11:20 |
| supernova | even i am using asus board | 11:20 |
| Wizard | supernova, Than I'm out of ideas. | 11:20 |
| sk1special | ejo: yeah id try restarting a couple times..and maybe resetting the opacity setting to default than readjusting | 11:20 |

| cutekitty | tarzeau: after changing the MAC address using the 'ifconfig' way, is there some other program that can confirm the change? | 11:51 |
| tarzeau | codename-nos: it'll not survive reboots | 11:51 |
| codename-nos | cutekitty: search google : macchangeR - name of your package .deb / .rpm or source | 11:51 |

| cutekitty | tarzeau: interesting that the fake MAC address isn't "saved". | 12:03 |
| rumpe1 | cutekitty, as I said: you can only change the MAC because it's not read from the device directly each time it's needed. A copy is used, which you can change, as long as the OS runs. | 12:04 |
| tarzeau | rumpe1: cutekitty doesn't get it, really | 12:04 |

| tarzeau | rumpe1, cutekitty: i wonder which program snoops on mac addresses and collects them... i don't know of any | 12:05 |
| cutekitty | tarzeau: ok. just taking care. is there a way to tell what a program knows about me? | 12:06 |
| tarzeau | cutekitty: yes, all the input you give it | 12:06 |
| cutekitty | tarzeau: or, to be more accurate, is there a way to find out what a program tries to fitnd out about me. | 12:07 |
| cutekitty | tarzeau: you might have heard of iPHone apps that snoop and get the person's contacts list | 12:07 |
| tarzeau | cutekitty: oh, how is that related to ubuntu? | 12:07 |
| cutekitty | tarzeau: that's the sort of thing i want to know... what things is the program getting without our knowing? | 12:07 |
| sary | supernova: then the right command should be sudo lsusb -v , and lsmod | grep r8712u | 12:07 |

| tarzeau | cutekitty: if you use google, they track your searches | 12:07 |
| rumpe1 | cutekitty, ? the only way to check, if a MAC is real is maybe by checking, if it makes "sense". It contains the vendor and maybe model .. maybe. I'm not sure about that. | 12:08 |

| ubsrv | hi guys, I'm having some serious problems with postfix, last night my server was attacked and used to send over 15000 spam mails within 2 hours.. My configuration included 0.0.0.0/0 in 'mynetworks' (I know that's too bad...). Now I've deleted that entry, but the problem is I need my users to be able to send mails from their homes, and most of them include dynamic ips, and if they IPs are not | 12:55 |
| ubsrv | listed in 'mynetworks' they get a "Relay access denied" error. Any idea on how to configure this? | 12:55 |
| Wizard | hints* | 12:55 |

| compdoc | ubsrv, yikes | 12:56 |
| knelix | wizard: How do I do that in the terminal? Just typing it in tells me there's "no such file or directory". | 12:57 |
| realraven | now, I am back. chatZilla is better. CAn somebody help with Ubuntu on a VirtualBox machine? | 12:57 |
| Wizard | knelix, cat ~/.xsession-errors | 12:57 |
| ubsrv | compdoc big yikes... | 12:57 |
| knelix | wizard: Same thing. | 12:58 |
| realraven | I am running Ubuntu 11.10 under VirtualBox, need to get file sharing back working | 12:58 |
| L3top | knelix: are you root by chance? | 12:58 |
| Wizard | knelix, strange. | 12:58 |
| Wizard | Yeah, are you root by chance, knelix? | 12:58 |
| knelix | L3top: wizard: Simply using my normal user name, not root. I use sudo when needed. | 12:59 |
| Wizard | This doesn't need sudo. | 12:59 |
| Wizard | Hmm, strange. | 12:59 |
| Wizard | so, can you go to ~ and ls -l ? | 12:59 |
| Wizard | Maybe you're not owner of you home dir. | 13:00 |
| realraven | is anybody here familiar with virtualbox? | 13:00 |
| L3top | cat /home/<user name>/.xsession-errors replacing with your user name | 13:00 |
| Wizard | L3top, ~ shall do the trick. | 13:00 |
| knelix | wizard: Yes, has me very frustrated. I've blown a few hours here trying things without result. | 13:00 |
| L3top | !ask | realraven | 13:00 |

| Erealz | hey everyone i just wanted to know if anyone is experiencing hults and crashes with the new 12.04 lts 64 bit | 13:02 |
| Erealz | im writeing a review and it not looking good so far? | 13:03 |
| L3top | !poll | Erealz | 13:03 |
| ubottu | Erealz: 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. | 13:03 |
| knelix | wizard, L3top: Nothing… "No such file or directory"… Different in xubuntu perhaps?? | 13:03 |
| stueng | I presume its possible to have both unity and gnome installed at teh same time ? | 13:03 |
| Wizard | knelix, Same in all Linux distros ;[ | 13:03 |
| IdleOne | !notunity | stueng yes it is | 13:04 |
| ubottu | stueng yes it is: 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 | 13:04 |
| realraven | how do I get the typable addres bar back that I had in the previous nautilus version? | 13:04 |
| L3top | Erealz: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to ask such... this is a support only channel. | 13:04 |
| realraven | ubottu: interesting | 13:04 |
| stueng | right thanks, so from x2go, I could tell it to use gnome if I installed the gnome-panel package? | 13:04 |
| stueng | or gnome-shell ? | 13:04 |
| Faralla | Hi. I just started updating 11.10 to 12.04 using a DVD supplied by german magazine C't. After selecting to upgrade it asked me for the default user name. While suspecting something is wrong I cancelled the upgrade to use "do-release-upgrade" instead. But it seems the upgrade routine did already mess up my harddisk. I cannot boot into ubuntu anymore. | 13:05 |
| Bundoo | Does anyone know why the Google Chrome application doesn't appear on the Alt-Tab application switching menu? Also when I click on the Chrome icon another instance launches rather than the existing one brought into focus. | 13:05 |
| realraven | how do I find out which gnome I am running? | 13:05 |
| Faralla | It is complaining about a missing init= entry, though I have no chance to enter anything in the busybox shell (maybe because of USB keyboard?). Please help me to get back my 11.10 system | 13:05 |
| stueng | is IdleOne a bot ? | 13:05 |

When the server started it show a screen of kde with progress bar ... continusly circulating (although i was using gnome before the boot) ... after more then an hr i decided to reboot it. but no use ... I don't know how atleast i come back to commad line so that i could do any cleanup opration. | 13:10 |
| Sidewinder | Faralla, I can't help with your exact problem, sorry. That said, I did notice on my 10.04 box, when I plugged in a USB keyboard it wasn't recognized, until I hit the log-in screen. Not a terribly big deal; I just couldn't boot into windows | 13:11 |
| knelix | L3top: k. I will try it | 13:11 |

| compdoc | sk1special, what did you do to add the pics? | 13:15 |
| Faralla | it seems when booting the system, grub is not using the config from /boot/grub/grub.cfg. How can I fix that from a rescue system? | 13:15 |
| stueng | I just realised I am not running 12.04 xD | 13:15 |
| DasEi | realraven: thought so, well mount cd, cd there, select right package for you architecture and start it as root like ./686Linuxblah or sh if it's a *.run file | 13:16 |
| realraven | DasEi: is there any way I can run a file.run from terminal? | 13:16 |
| DasEi | realraven: sh file.run as root | 13:16 |

| knelix | L3top: 12.04 LTS | 13:18 |
| knelix | L3top: I shouldn't have upgraded-- this was one of the latest upgrades which caused this. | 13:19 |
| L3top | knelix: Ok... well the i965-va-driver will give you as good results as possible for your card, but I am not sure that that is the problem, at all. | 13:19 |

| stueng | DasEi: are you in the directory where file.run is ? | 13:19 |
| sk1special | is it a problem that to change the pic i have to reenter my authentication on every restart? | 13:20 |
| sk1special | in ubuntu tweak settings i mean | 13:20 |
| L3top | Those messages are very borky knelix. I would definitely check #winehq | 13:20 |
| eyjay1991 | is xubuntu good for newbies in linux too? | 13:20 |
| realraven | DasEi: I seem to be, the prompt reads: root@PhoenUx:/media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.10_76836 | 13:20 |
| Sidewinder | Faralla, Did you perhaps "Upgrade" your various distros on Ubuntu? As opposed to fresh installing. The reason I ask is that I've noticed, on my machine, using the "upgrade" method that I'm still using GRUB Legacy (which has no grub.config) in spite of the fact that I'm running 10.04 which installs, nativly GRUB 1.99, I believe. | 13:21 |
| Leodidi | Hello, I'm having a problem with submenu visual freeze randomly on 10.10 | 13:21 |
| stueng | realraven: dasai timed out | 13:21 |
| realraven | DasEi: but it is hard to tell as the new nautilus doesn;t give me a copy-able URI | 13:21 |
| stueng | relurk: if you ls -l do you see file.run ? | 13:21 |
| stueng | realraven: ^ | 13:21 |
| realraven | stueng: funny thing is ls doesn't seem to do anything in that folder | 13:21 |
| realraven | it just goes right back to the prompt | 13:22 |

| realraven | according to nautilus it is on a disc (iso) called VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.10_76836 | 13:23 |
| L3top | Leodidi: 10.10 is no longer supported. | 13:23 |

| cevarief | Hi.. i have 3G usb modem detected by connection manager, but it could not connect to internet. I've set correct isp user and pass. Any clue where to start checking it? | 13:23 |
| realraven | stueng: ok, but why does ls not work? | 13:23 |
| realraven | is /media the correct root for iso / cd files | 13:23 |
| stueng | realraven: dunno.. guess the mount isnt working properly, did you mount this manually? or "insert" it from the virtual machine manager? | 13:24 |
| realraven | the later | 13:24 |
| realraven | I can see the files from nautilus | 13:24 |

| zykotick9 | realraven: not by default - there is a package nautilus-open-terminal that adds that feature | 13:25 |
| knelix | how do I apt-get install LXDE? | 13:25 |
| realraven | zykotick9: cool, how do I install that?? | 13:25 |
| Sidewinder | cevarief, I'm not certain but I seem to remember reading somewhere that you need to disable Network Manager first, in order to use a modem. | 13:25 |
| stueng | realraven: type mount... look at the output | 13:25 |
| zykotick9 | realraven: ctrl+l maybe? to show address - i forget | 13:25 |
| gry | knelix: it's "lubuntu-desktop" | 13:26 |

| Sidewinder | "WAG", even. | 13:27 |
| sk1special | anyone know what else to do? should i change the group the pic is in or .. ? *shrug* | 13:27 |
| Faralla | Then "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. No init found. Try passing init= bootarg" | 13:27 |

| stueng | you probably have to restart nautilus | 13:29 |
| L3top | Leodidi: 1204 is the newest version and is LTS... however you are going to lose the familiarety of your classic desktop... if you are not afraid of change, 1204 is good. What is the output of lspci | grep VGA ? | 13:29 |
| Wizard | Is there a way to integrate java swing menus with globalmenu? | 13:29 |

| Stanley00 | sk1special: you there? | 13:31 |
| BlueChaos | hellow | 13:31 |
| realraven | stueng: that is a handy shortcut | 13:31 |
| sk1special | Stanley: yeah didnt work allowing full permission | 13:31 |
| === mrk is now known as Guest20681 | ||
| BlueChaos | I have a question | 13:31 |
| stueng | realraven: yeah, but I need to know what it "runs" to start that :P | 13:31 |
| Stanley00 | sk1special: did you change all the path, or just the file permission? | 13:32 |
| Leodidi | L3top: just that i made fresh install 10.10 on both laptops and fixed nearly all hardware probs except this glitch | 13:32 |
| realraven | stueng: you mean which terminal? | 13:32 |
| sk1special | should i change the group the pic belongs to or..? also does it matter that i have to authenticate in ubuntu tweak settings every restart in order to access settings? | 13:32 |
| stueng | realraven: your icon for your terminal, can you tell me what command it runs ? | 13:32 |
| stueng | gkterminal or something | 13:32 |
| realraven | I don't use the icon: I use [F2] and then type terminal; | 13:32 |
| Guest20681 | sudo /EXEC cd $HOME/.xchat2/buduscript && ./install.sh | 13:33 |
| stueng | oh just terminal ok | 13:33 |
| realraven | yes I guess | 13:33 |
| stueng | realraven: type mount, do you see the ISO mounted? | 13:33 |
| sk1special | stanley: i just right clicked properties the pic and checked marked the allow all boxes and the ability to run as prog or w/e box | 13:33 |

| BlueChaos | I use windows & unbuntu too Unbuntu is in (D:) windows (c) and all what i'am was installed on unbuntu was goes in C: and now from 52 gb's avaible on C is used 85% from his capacity why ? | 13:33 |

| sk1special | home/computer/pics | 13:34 |
| realraven | stueng: I get a bunch of stuff, wait I will make a pastebin | 13:34 |
| zykotick9 | realraven: you probably need to "killall nautilus" then start nautilus again, should be in right click menu | 13:34 |
| stueng | realraven: just look for something to do with the ISO or the /media directory | 13:34 |
| stueng | I think mounted ISO's will go into the mount list.. I dunno lol | 13:35 |
| realraven | the last line reads: | 13:35 |

| realraven | stueng: is that what you were l0ooking for? | 13:35 |
| Stanley00 | sk1special: how about move that pic to /home, and chmod +r it, in terminal "sudo mv /path/to/pic /home; sudo chmod +r /home/pic.png" | 13:35 |
| stueng | realraven: yeah | 13:35 |
| BlueChaos | Sidewinder | 13:35 |
| realraven | stueng: so it looks lik it is mounted | 13:35 |
| Leodidi | L3top: but thanks for the advice | 13:36 |
| realraven | but maybe I am not in the correct pwd | 13:36 |
| BlueChaos | that was tells me on linux low hdd memory | 13:36 |
| stueng | realraven: so ls /media/VBOX... (press tab) results in nothing ? | 13:36 |
| L3top | If you had gone with 10.04 Leodidi you would have been fine. It is important to pay attention to version life cycles. | 13:36 |
| realraven | yes it lists nothing. | 13:36 |
| BlueChaos | I check windows and I don`t have installed or copy any file | 13:36 |
| realraven | but no error either | 13:36 |
| BlueChaos | on it just programs | 13:37 |
| realraven | how do I end sudo? | 13:37 |
| stueng | realraven: you have tried ejecting hte virutal CD rom and "re-inserting" it ? | 13:37 |
| realraven | (sudo -s) | 13:37 |
| L3top | realraven: exit | 13:37 |
| realraven | ok, still no contents | 13:37 |
| realraven | I can try unmounting it - command line for that ? | 13:37 |

| realraven | ok, I successfully unmounted it :) | 13:39 |
| realraven | now, trying to mount it using the command from virtualbox gives me the following error: | 13:40 |
| realraven | to mount the CD/DVD image, would you like to mounting of this medium .. could not mount | 13:41 |

| ubottu | BlueChaos, please see my private message | 13:41 |
| realraven | stueng: yes it disappeared | 13:41 |
| realraven | the way I mount it is usually through the virtualbox menu | 13:41 |
| stueng | realraven: ok, and to mount it again, do you right click install tools or something alon those lines? | 13:41 |
| stueng | realraven: yeah.. thats how you mounted it earlier ? | 13:42 |
| realraven | "devices / install guest additions" | 13:42 |
| realraven | stueng: yes | 13:42 |
| BlueChaos | Sidewinder | 13:42 |

| Stanley00 | sk1special: ah, sorry for my bad English :( | 13:44 |
| stueng | realraven: what you are doing should work fine... try again make sure you are looking int he right place, try it as sudo -s. If that fails, use nautilius to copy the contents of the CD to another directory and work from there | 13:44 |
| sk1special | stanley: nope no idea. just copy pasted what you said and inserted my pic path and all. no youre fine..ive only been on linux like a week so sitll super new | 13:44 |
| realraven | I just wish I could paste you the error message when I try to mount | 13:45 |
| stueng | realraven: so as an exmaple, mkdir /media/fuvbox | then use nautilus to copy the contents from the "icon" to this locaiton using hte GUI | 13:45 |
| realraven | but somehow the paste does not work from my host to the ubuntu vlient | 13:45 |
| Sidewinder | BlueChaos, First, you never answered my original question. Is this a WUBI install? If so, I'm sorry that I can't help; I wouldn't go anywhere near WUBI. You may, perhaps find the answers to your questions/problems here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index | 13:45 |
| stueng | realraven: but you are able to browse the contents of the ISO from nautlius? so you can copy them elsewhere on your file system? | 13:45 |
| realraven | stueng: I cannot get access ot the "cd" as it is a virtual iso on my C:\Program files\oracle\virtaulbox | 13:45 |
| zykotick9 | realraven: lol, once guestadditions are install paste might work | 13:45 |
| realraven | zykotick9: exactly. but now I cannot see the files anymore as stueng told me to unmount it | 13:46 |
| realraven | :( | 13:46 |
| Stanley00 | sk1special: well, can you give me the full path to your picture, and I will give you a working command | 13:46 |
| realraven | can I mount it from the command line again? | 13:46 |
| stueng | realraven: edit the hardware of the VM, remove the ISO | 13:46 |

| Guest60985 | ciao a tutti | 13:47 |
| zykotick9 | LmAt: planning on reinventing the wheel are you? | 13:47 |
| stueng | english bro | 13:47 |
| LmAt | zykotick9: Perpetually. | 13:48 |
| stueng | once you have re-invented the wheel are you going to reinvent your own wheel? | 13:48 |
| LmAt | zykotick9: Lots of people have written terminals. There's (at least) one for each windowing system. | 13:48 |
| usr13 | zykotick9: LmAt He may make a better wheel | 13:48 |
| realraven | stueng: hmm, looks like I need to shut down Ubuntu before I can remove that iso :( | 13:49 |
| oCean | LmAt: since it is not really an ubuntu issue, try ##programming for example, or maybe even ##linux | 13:49 |
| stueng | realraven: usually you can unplug the CD drive | 13:49 |
| stueng | realraven: or "eject" the iso | 13:49 |
| usr13 | realraven: What's the problem? | 13:49 |
| realraven | usr13: I was trying to reinstall gues additions for virtualbox | 13:49 |
| zykotick9 | LmAt: rxvt-unicode already exists ;) | 13:49 |
| stueng | usr13: he wants to install the vbox tools, but upon inserting the ISO the directory appeared empty | 13:50 |
| realraven | stueng: there is devices > remove disk from virtual drive? | 13:50 |
| realraven | usr13: only empty in terminal, not in nautilus | 13:50 |
| realraven | usr13: so stueng showed me how unmount it | 13:50 |
| stueng | realraven: as long as its referring to the CD drive yeah, remove/eject its contents and then begin the process of installing the tools again. This process re-inserts the virtual CD into the virutal drive | 13:50 |
| realraven | ok | 13:51 |

| stueng | realraven: it wasnt me that told you how to unmount it :P I simply said eject it and put it back in again | 13:51 |
| stueng | realraven: did it showup as a mounted icon on your desktop? | 13:52 |
| stueng | realraven: or whatever usually happens | 13:52 |

| Sidewinder | nrdb, At least on my 10.04 system, right click on the icon, then click on "Open With" and select the program that you want to open the file with.. | 13:54 |

| realraven | I upgraded to 11.10, got the dreadful unity, but installed gnome | 14:05 |
| stueng | !unity | 14:05 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 14:05 |
| usr13 | realraven: Did you have gnome2? | 14:05 |
| OerHeks | mbartnic, if this affects you, would you confirm this bug/behaviour? | 14:05 |
| realraven | which is quite ok but not as nice as 11.04 gnome | 14:05 |
| stueng | !notunity | 14:05 |
| ubottu | 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 | 14:05 |

| stueng | that bot needs to be updated for 12.04 ? | 14:06 |
| usr13 | realraven: I switched to xfce4 and it's pretty nice. | 14:06 |

| ojii | OerHeks, I did a apt-get update about 3 minutes ago | 14:12 |

| usr13 | realraven: I like thunar, it's simple, easy to use and has all the features I need. | 14:13 |
| realraven | looks good it actually has an entry location bar | 14:13 |
| realraven | there used to be a system menu, that is gone in gnome3 as well? | 14:14 |
| fidel_ | Vivekananda: should be ok - but dont expect instant replies as i doubt that all inhere are using rsync-ui's | 14:14 |
| realraven | and there used to be like 209 different themes, now there are 2 | 14:14 |

| usr13 | stueng: I don't know, but I do know that xfce is more resource friendly (as in light-weight). | 14:14 |
| Vivekananda | k | 14:14 |
| realraven | usr13: so how do I install it | 14:14 |
| stueng | im starting to think I should have gone xubuntu for my media machine now | 14:15 |
| fidel_ | realraven: gnome has a system settings dialog - similar to osx sys-prefs | 14:15 |
| usr13 | realraven: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 14:15 |
| stueng | can I switch to xubuntu from ubuntu? or just apt-get install xubuntu ? | 14:15 |
| Vivekananda | I did ask though so am waiting for any replies. In the meantime I thought of running the Grsync thru terminal and seening how log is created. How else I can do it ? | 14:15 |
| stueng | aha | 14:15 |
| ojii | OerHeks, any other ideas? | 14:15 |
| fidel_ | stueng: you can install i.e. ubuntu and then install kde, xfce etc | 14:15 |
| realraven | usr13: i thought just install thunar? | 14:15 |
| usr13 | realraven: Oh, just thunar? ... i dono ... just a sec. | 14:16 |
| realraven | usr13: I have to be carefuyl with xubuntu-desktop | 14:16 |
| fidel_ | stueng: there is no need to reinstall the os only cause you might (temporary) use another desktop-environment | 14:16 |
| OerHeks | ojii not really, maybe parter repo is not activated? | 14:16 |
| realraven | usr13: if I can regain some of that space (320MB) I don't mind | 14:16 |
| jbwiv | guys, sticky edges in unity is driving me crazy on my multimonitor setup. I used to see a button to disable on the "Displays" dialog, but it's no longer there. I've set Edge Stop Velocity to 20 in ccsm, and "launcher edge stop overcome pressure" to 1. still, my pointer sticks at screen edge. Any ideas how to solve? | 14:16 |
| realraven | but it is important that I keep a lot of space for thunderbnird, to test my extensions./ | 14:16 |

| usr13 | realraven: sudo apt-get install thunar | 14:16 |
| stueng | this help ? | 14:16 |
| realraven | stueng: cool | 14:16 |
| realraven | stueng: will read it. usr13: will isntall that as well | 14:17 |
| stueng | how do I stop these connects and disconnects showing up in chat ? | 14:17 |
| realraven | usr13: at least that is only 24MB :) | 14:17 |
| stueng | is there a server command, rather than a clien tone | 14:17 |
| DJones | stueng: Which client are you using | 14:17 |
| L3top | realraven: if you are down to a Gb or so, you need a bigger/extra drive. It is ridiculous to try and get conservative NOW | 14:17 |
| ojii | OerHeks, I have all of them activated (+ about a billion PPAs) | 14:17 |
| stueng | some web thing | 14:17 |
| dbummy | ojii: did you click on the e-mail me the link button on the site? | 14:17 |
| realraven | stueng: use chatZilla | 14:17 |
| ojii | OerHeks, thanks though for trying | 14:17 |
| realraven | :P | 14:17 |
| stueng | is it http based? | 14:17 |
| usr13 | stueng: /ignore #ubuntu all -public -actions | 14:17 |
| stueng | thanks usr13 | 14:18 |
| realraven | L3top: I have 3.5 Gig free - but... once I load my mail that dwindles | 14:18 |
| ojii | dbummy, no, I don't trust email me forms too much | 14:18 |
| DJones | stueng: I don't know whether you hide joins/parts using the freenode web interface | 14:18 |
| stueng | ignore unknown command | 14:18 |
| usr13 | realraven: You need to add another drive. | 14:18 |
| realraven | stueng: what chat client are you using? | 14:18 |
| L3top | realraven: I stand by my statement | 14:18 |
| dbummy | ojii: I hear that... especially if you have to purchase something too :) | 14:18 |
| realraven | usr13: good idea. | 14:18 |
| realraven | how? | 14:18 |
| realraven | :) LOL | 14:18 |
| ojii | dbummy, touché | 14:18 |
| stueng | webchat.freenode.net | 14:18 |
| usr13 | realraven: ebay | 14:18 |
| realraven | usr13: LOL | 14:19 |
| realraven | usr13: I have 4 drives in my machine alread | 14:19 |
| realraven | already | 14:19 |
| realraven | 2.5 Terabytes | 14:19 |
| usr13 | realraven: Why do you only have 3.5G when you have 4 drives? | 14:19 |
| L3top | realraven: ^^ | 14:19 |
| realraven | the problem is I cannot resize the image without reinstalling linux | 14:19 |
| usr13 | realraven: Why not? | 14:19 |
| realraven | at least I am too dumb to do that | 14:19 |
| realraven | usr13: I am afraid to lose myu ubuntu installation | 14:20 |
| realraven | and I do not have an install image for 11.10 as I upgraded | 14:20 |
| === qrbn is now known as q0rban | ||
| realraven | and slow internet connection (takes several days to download) | 14:20 |
| L3top | realraven: why dont you put your /home directory somewhere else? and it is not difficult to resize... and... you can backup | 14:20 |
| DJones | stueng: If you click on the IRC icon in the left of the window, and then options, there is a tick box to hide joins/parts/quits | 14:20 |
| usr13 | realraven: It's not that you need to resize the image. You simply need to rob Peter and pay Paul, (shrink some other partition or drive and claim that space for /home ) | 14:20 |
| realraven | L3top: I would be happy if I could just put my thunderbird profiles on a new share | 14:20 |
| realraven | which is what I did and then thunderbird got hosed | 14:20 |
| L3top | realraven: you can clone your entire partition to an image using clonezilla before trying anything. | 14:21 |
| stueng | DJones: thank god.. thanks | 14:21 |
| mbartnic | OerHeks, I tried to change the language to english, but after I log in next time it changes to cn and wants to change folder names: You have logged in in a new language. You can automatically update the names of some standard folders in your home folder to match this language. The update would change the following folders: " and there it lists home, downloaded , documents and others as such | 14:21 |
| usr13 | realraven: L3top's advice is good | 14:21 |
| ablen | does anybody use VIA VT2021 as audio chipset? is it supported? | 14:22 |
| realraven | stueng: o my god. why do they have a shortcut only command. BAAD design | 14:22 |
| realraven | so the magic command is CTRL_L | 14:22 |
| paul424 | HI I look for someone to build the packages for the Open dungeons project on ubuntu ,,, and other distros as well , ,,, any package-savvy people in here ? | 14:23 |
| stueng | realraven: dunno, tbh I hadnt looked at it until you mantioned it even though it was pissing me off too | 14:23 |
| realraven | usr13: I don't understand it. | 14:23 |
| ikonia | paul424: what do you need ? | 14:23 |
| usr13 | realraven: What? Resizing partitions? | 14:23 |
| realraven | usr13 - I can do that from Virtualbox | 14:23 |
| realraven | it is the safe / restore of the linux image that I am worried about | 14:23 |
| usr13 | realraven: Oh, you have installed Ubuntu as guest in VB? | 14:24 |
| paul424 | ikonia: this project needs installable packages for major linux distros | 14:24 |
| paul424 | http://opendungeons.sourceforge.net/index.php/Main_Page | 14:24 |
| realraven | usr13: exactly | 14:24 |
| stueng | thats why you clone your installation before you mess with it :D | 14:24 |
| realraven | and I am running out of space | 14:24 |
| usr13 | realraven: That should be simple enough, just tell VB you want it to be larger. | 14:24 |
| jbwiv | guys, sticky edges in unity is driving me crazy on my multimonitor setup. I used to see a button to disable on the "Displays" dialog, but it's no longer there. I've set Edge Stop Velocity to 20 in ccsm, and "launcher edge stop overcome pressure" to 1. still, my pointer sticks at screen edge. Any ideas how to solve? | 14:24 |
| realraven | I have tons of space if I relocate it. But I dunno how to tell ubuntu that it now has a bigger partition | 14:24 |
| stueng | jbwiv: look for compiz config settings mangaer | 14:24 |
| realraven | usr13: I can do that, but I think ubuntu is too stupid to realize it has more space ? | 14:25 |
| usr13 | realraven: You don't tell Ubuntu, (Ubuntu is only a guest). | 14:25 |
| paul424 | ikonia: ? | 14:25 |
| stueng | jbwiv: in the software center thingy | 14:25 |
| usr13 | realraven: What is the Host OS? | 14:25 |
| realraven | usr13: I know, but even if I move usr13 to a bigger partition, doesn't it need to be told | 14:25 |
| urthmover | Where is "sudo command" logged in 12.04? I'm not finding /var/log/secure | 14:25 |
| realraven | usr13: XP Pro SP3 | 14:25 |
| realraven | runs ok | 14:25 |
| Zzarkc | Hello. I'm having a file permissions issue, but I can't seem to change it. I just used filezilla to download a lot of files, and I even ran a chmod 777 -R ./ with no results. Any ideas? | 14:26 |
| realraven | (don't ask) | 14:26 |
| ranfuu | I run it | 14:26 |
| usr13 | realraven: Ok, well, to my way of thinking, your system is upside down. (I would start over and make Linux the host OS). | 14:26 |
| realraven | ur13: I know you would. :) | 14:26 |
| stueng | usr13: once he allocated more space to the gues, how does he extend into this new free space? | 14:26 |
| realraven | usr: there is a ton of software that won';t run in a VM | 14:26 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: Did you do it as root? (or super user) | 14:26 |
| codename-nos | abhinav_singh: /usr/bin/sudo | 14:27 |
| realraven | e.g. Cubase | 14:27 |
| mbartnic | OerHeks, L3top I still have problem with my language | 14:27 |
| usr13 | realraven: I use XP too, but *rarely* (if ever). | 14:27 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: Nah, I didn't run filezilla that way, but it appears it did from ls -l. Root is the owner. | 14:27 |
| stueng | usr13: I think he wants to know how to extend the root partition into the new free space he allocates to the VM ? | 14:27 |
| usr13 | stueng: He will simply move /home to a new partition. | 14:27 |
| realraven | usr13: I had tried studio64 but it wasn't really an option as I nbeed to share projects with another studio | 14:27 |
| realraven | stueng: you got it | 14:27 |
| stueng | usr13: so you can extend? like you can in say windows | 14:27 |
| stueng | cant* | 14:28 |
| realraven | stueng: in windows I would simply use paragon | 14:28 |
| stueng | realraven: in windows you can simply use disk manager | 14:28 |
| realraven | with that it is easy peasy | 14:28 |
| realraven | stueng: you mean manage disks in NT, right>? | 14:28 |
| stueng | usr13: you can grow a partition into free space... can you not with linux? | 14:28 |
| realraven | bit wary of that as it might destroy my linux partitions | 14:28 |
| codename-nos | stueng: install gparted | 14:29 |
| compdoc | ubuntu creates a single large partition, and a swap. you can grow or shrink either of those, and ubuntu sees it | 14:29 |
| stueng | codename-nos: and compdoc good... | 14:29 |
| dbummy | try sudo chown -R user:group * (replaceing user and group with your non-su account name) | 14:29 |
| codename-nos | ? | 14:29 |
| usr13 | example: If you have / in 20G of space. Expand the 20G to 100G So, now you have 80G free. Make an 80G partition for /home Move /home to the new 80G partition. | 14:29 |
| stueng | codename-nos: I am glad its possible | 14:29 |
| codename-nos | stueng: i m glad too ! hahaha | 14:30 |
| stueng | usr13: thats not very dynamic, one would much rather simply grow or shrink into free space | 14:30 |
| usr13 | stueng: And yes, (if you have LVM installed, you can grow partition rather easily. | 14:30 |
| stueng | realraven: seems its failry stragiht forward to allocate more free space to your VM | 14:30 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: Nothing... | 14:31 |
| realraven | right, in virtual box I can look at storage there is a vdi file with 10.5 GByte virtuasl size | 14:31 |
| Zzarkc | The owner hasn't changed or anything. | 14:31 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: when you do a ll or a ls -l does it still show root as the owner | 14:31 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: Yep. | 14:31 |
| stueng | realraven: can you just change its size? | 14:31 |
| usr13 | stueng: I don't see the need for being dynamic with partition space. How often do you really need to change something like that? (With any foresight at all, maybe once every 3 or 4 years?) | 14:31 |
| realraven | stueng: I think I recall that that was possible somehow... I can't rememebr | 14:32 |
| === roo is now known as Guest75039 | ||
| dbummy | Zzarkc: is there a sticky bit on the permissions? a number before the 3 numbers ex. 1755 - 1 would be the sticky bit | 14:32 |
| usr13 | !lvm | realraven | 14:32 |
| ubottu | realraven: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 14:32 |
| stueng | realraven: with vmware you can do it on the fly... but I imagine with vbox you will need to shutdown the guest and then increase its size | 14:32 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: on the folder itself or the files | 14:32 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: ususally the folder comes up as a green highlight also if ls is done in parent dir. | 14:33 |
| stueng | http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-shrink-expand-disks.html | 14:33 |
| realraven | usr13: I don't need raid, thanks very much :) | 14:33 |
| stueng | ignore that | 14:33 |
| stueng | thats for a linux host | 14:33 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: Ummmm... I've got -rwxrwxrwx before a number 1, and then follows the root and root. | 14:33 |
| usr13 | stueng: realraven Here is what I do, and what I think is pretty good arrangement. Just get a good KVM and hit PrintScrn twice to change from XP to Ubuntu | 14:34 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 999 May 21 10:01 object.h <-- That is a line entry. | 14:34 |
| realraven | stueng: I know there is a way to tell a VBox image to be bigger, mjkust google that | 14:34 |
| Bobrm2 | Has anyone experienced difficulty with UbuntuOne's control box, while using Ubuntu 12.04? | 14:34 |
| usr13 | realraven: Ok, the part about raid was irrelevant, was wanting you to see the part about LVM. | 14:34 |
| realraven | usr13 ok | 14:34 |
| stueng | usr13: I have no need for KVM or anything I have seperate machines for seperate jobs with seperate input/output | 14:35 |
| stueng | @ work I use vSphere DRS clusters | 14:35 |
| realraven | stueng: I think adding a disk would be ok as well | 14:35 |
| realraven | (virtual disk) | 14:35 |
| === irdxafk is now known as irdx | ||
| usr13 | realraven: stueng *(In other words, two boxes, side by side)* | 14:35 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: Oooh. Just found an article about NTFS, which is what that drive is. | 14:35 |
| stueng | realraven: adding a virtual disk will mean you have to have seperate partitions, with different mount points in the partitions. If you can extend the disk then you can keep your faily stragiht forware mount structure | 14:36 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: yeah.... if it's a ntfs drive it won't have linux permissions on it | 14:36 |
| stueng | extending is more risky though | 14:36 |
| realraven | so I need clonezilla first | 14:36 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: Right. So how do I fix it from there? | 14:36 |
| === irdx is now known as irdxafk | ||
| stueng | realraven: you shouldnt | 14:36 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: I have my fstab open... | 14:36 |
| stueng | realraven: do you have sufficnet space to backup your entire VM? | 14:36 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: What exactly are you trying to do??? copy the files elsewhere? | 14:37 |
| realraven | stueng: is the bear a catholic? does the pope crap in the woods? | 14:37 |
| usr13 | stueng: realraven I always like /home to be on a separate partition, (or hard drive, as the case may be). | 14:37 |
| flash_ | Hi guys. I just updated to Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm using gnome classic. My workspaces have been reset to 1 and even though I change them to 4, once I log out and back in I have only 1. How do I make this change permanent? | 14:37 |
| ikonia | realraven: enough please. | 14:37 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: I'm dual booting, and I have a "Storage" partition that is accessible to both my windows and linux OSs. I put a lot of my projects under that partition. | 14:37 |
| realraven | ikonie: sure. just had to quote freak brothers once :) | 14:38 |
| ikonia | realraven: thanks | 14:38 |
| stueng | tbh I dont understand the quote | 14:38 |
| realraven | ikonie: np ;-0 | 14:38 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: You can't access your files in windows? | 14:38 |
| realraven | stueng: in other owrds "yes" | 14:38 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: You won't be able to put a DAC on a ntfs system (permissions) | 14:39 |
| realraven | usr13: I think that would be feasible. although it is nice if I can have just one VDI file | 14:39 |
| stueng | realraven: ok then backup your entire VM. once complete, EXTEND the size of the virtual disk and then use LVM or whatever to extend into this free space at the end of your partition. The alternative is to add a second virtual disk and move your /home or whatever is taking up space onto the new disk | 14:39 |
| usr13 | realraven: Just gave you most of the viable options - choice(s) are yours. | 14:40 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: Nah, I can just fine in windows. I can read the files just fine in linux too. I've never had this problem before when I create the files, it's just now when I'm not the creator. | 14:40 |
| realraven | stueng: I like that one | 14:40 |
| realraven | !. backup the VM to a new file | 14:40 |
| ubottu | realraven: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:40 |
| realraven | 2. extend the size ( which I need to find out) | 14:40 |
| realraven | 3. use LVM to grow the partition | 14:41 |
| realraven | is this correct? | 14:41 |
| stueng | realraven: the advantage of the first approach is your partition and mount layout remains simple. The advantage of the second method is you have your root and your home mount points in seperate locations so if home grows out of control it does not affect the stability of your operating system | 14:41 |
| stueng | realraven: how exactly you use LVM to extend I dont know but hte process you have is correct yes | 14:41 |
| realraven | stueng: cool. I think I best go with 1 as I will probably need to create 3 or 4 clones | 14:42 |
| realraven | stueng: so that I can start testing aurora in one, and maybe legazy thunderbird (3.1) in another | 14:42 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: I'm not 100%, but I thought it would show all files on NTFS as root owned.... | 14:42 |
| usr13 | realraven: stueng http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 14:42 |
| realraven | stueng: I am still building thunderbird in windows, which is a little painful | 14:42 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | I use a ntfs group, and gid= or something | 14:43 |
| dbummy | Zzarkc: I usually would just leave it like that when I was using ntfs..... I switched all my drives over to ext4 and share through samba to win now | 14:43 |

| sk1special | okay. had some awesome help. got mostly there. trying to set a image as my background log in..and it lets me set the image..but its way to zoomed in. ( using tweak ) . so i resized it using gimp..and while that made it smaller..it shoved it in the top right corner.. so same effect of half of it missing | 14:49 |
| dbummy | snapdata: what type of login are you trying to see?? SSH? | 14:49 |
| snapdata | dbummy: my computer was locked while I was getting breakfast in the cafeteria | 14:50 |
| snapdata | dbummy: when I came back I noticed the screen wasn't faded, I checked the logs and it appears as if someone logged into a guest account but I can't be sure | 14:50 |
| Zzarkc | dbummy: Yeah. I know what you mean. I'm trying to figure out the fstab now... | 14:50 |

| dbummy | snapdata: are you trying to see if they made an account? .... ok | 14:54 |
| snapdata | dbummy: No, I'm trying to see if they clicked the 'guest login' button at the login screen | 14:54 |

| kmdm | Hi all, I've upgraded an ESXi guest (from 10.04 to 12.04), rebooting gave a grub2 error but was able to manual-boot, now stuck at initramfs after a ALERT could not not find root device prompt. ls -l /dev/sd* gives nothing... any pointers? :) | 15:00 |
| compdoc | kmdm, you have a command prompt then? | 15:01 |
| kmdm | compdoc: Yep. | 15:01 |
| snapdata | dbummy: no dice. could it have been the guest account being created? I had never used a guest account before | 15:01 |
| Sidewinder | snapdata, I've never used the guest acct. either, from any method. This (although I don't understand it) might get you headed in the right direction: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=group+gshadow&title=Special%3ASearch | 15:03 |

| compdoc | kmdm, sorry, I dont know enough about initramfs to help | 15:03 |
| dbummy | snapdata: That's what it sounds like.... did you create the guest account.... It looks like the guest account used a su to do something..... and also changed their home directory | 15:04 |
| sk1special | how do i use the terminal to move a file? | 15:04 |
| snapdata | dbummy: but if you look at the log time it all happened in one second | 15:04 |
| dbummy | snapdata: is there a need for the quest account? | 15:04 |
| snapdata | dbummy: no. I never used it. | 15:04 |
| compdoc | kmdm, s, have you seen this: http://lugatgt.org/content/booting.inittools/downloads/presentation.pdf | 15:05 |
| dbummy | snapdata: I would remove it if it is not needed | 15:05 |
| snapdata | dbummy: that's what I plan on doing | 15:05 |
| snapdata | dbummy: but it makes me nervous to know someone accessed my computer | 15:06 |
| dbummy | snapdata: yeah, and it looks like they created a user that could get su access..... I just setup ssh on my machine the other day and checked the log and there were 2,500 login attempts | 15:07 |
| Sidewinder | snapdata, I know it's what you're hoping, but it may be totally innocent and simply what happens normally when one attempts to log in as "guest". As you mentioned, all of those commands occurred with one or two seconds. | 15:08 |
| dbummy | snapdata: I would get rid of the guest user, check for any other type of users/groups that were added and CHANGE YOUR SUDO PASS and probably your own pass | 15:08 |
| dbummy | snapdata: and keep an eye on the auth.log | 15:09 |
| dbummy | snapdata: it definitly looks like a script that changed everything....becuase it was done so fast | 15:10 |

| dbummy | snapdata: np | 15:14 |
| snapdata | dbummy: wait what? | 15:14 |
| dbummy | snapdata: at the top of that paste... it had your login name that created the guest user | 15:14 |

| jrib | prc384: why 777? That's probably not what you actually want | 15:27 |
| Ponsjuh | actually 777 for web is very bad idea :) | 15:27 |
| recon69_lap | Oprtz: getting the same, if you reboot with earphone's in, the speakers will probably turn off | 15:28 |
| Oprtz | recon69_lap: yes 100% correct :( | 15:29 |
| recon69_lap | Oprtz: I'm using xubuntu though | 15:29 |
| pcm_ | hi | 15:29 |
| Oprtz | recon69_lap: so didn't find any soulution yet ? | 15:29 |
| Sidewinder | snapdata, As a last resort you could always reboot and start from there. | 15:30 |
| Ponsjuh | bleh reboot :) sounds like windows :P | 15:30 |

| dbummy | snapdata: I would try unhooking from network and restarting.... then try to delete the user.... I would probably change my password and su password first | 15:30 |
| dbummy | snapdata: I was looking at the rtkit-daemon... but it's normal to have that | 15:31 |
| recon69_lap | Ponsjuh: seems to be the solution more and more often, bad sign. anyone know the command to restart sound system? | 15:31 |
| dbummy | snapdata: then try removing the user.... I really don't know man.... looks BAD | 15:31 |
| Oprtz | recon69_lap: this is not good, remove windows7 from my laptop, to become full time linux user but :( | 15:32 |

| rymate1234 | When I go to 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin, it gives me 404 | 15:47 |
| rymate1234 | help? :D | 15:47 |
| Sidewinder | hid, There's also XFCE. | 15:47 |
| stueng | where do I change the default GUI from Unity to Gnome then ? | 15:48 |
| ZaNeIuM | suddenly now when i reboot i always get the grub boot menu, i only got i drive and no media is in, anyone know why it may have changed? | 15:48 |
| stueng | or.. how do I quit Unity (whats a login manager?) | 15:48 |
| rymate1234 | login manager = login screen | 15:48 |
| L3top | stueng: service lightdm stop | 15:48 |
| rymate1234 | click the cog | 15:48 |
| Ponsjuh | stueng did you check the x2go swebsite http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:x2goclient#usage | 15:48 |
| oCean | gohdan: use tune2fs, the -c (maxcount) and -i (interval) options are what you need | 15:49 |
| dbummy | gohdan: I think you can use ---- sudo tune2fs -c 60 /dev/sd?? < what ever drive it is | 15:49 |
| hid | Ok I'm gonna see xfce thank you. And can I use the same softwares as gnome like nautilus ? | 15:49 |
| AdvoWork | just updated ubuntu, and in chrome i try and upload a file via a website, It keeps putting the files in old modified by date, rather than the latest at the top. I can click Modiifed which swaps it around, but it doesn't remember the setting. Any ideas please? | 15:49 |
| oCean | hid: definitely | 15:49 |
| Sidewinder | Sure. | 15:49 |
| dbummy | gohdan: that is for every 60 boots.... if you want every 2 then replace 60 with 2 | 15:49 |
| stueng | Ponsjuh: gnome-session –session=gnome-fallback (I have tried this yes) | 15:49 |
| rymate1234 | nvm done it | 15:50 |
| gh0stn0te | hi | 15:50 |
| Ponsjuh | it's not gnome-fallback | 15:50 |
| hid | great thank you very much | 15:50 |
| Ponsjuh | it's something else for your computer | 15:50 |
| stueng | Ponsjuh: I have installed gnome-shell and gnome-session | 15:50 |
| stueng | !notunity | 15:50 |
| ubottu | 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 | 15:50 |
| stueng | ^^ I did that | 15:50 |
| Ponsjuh | the comment states (ps ax | grep gnome) | 15:50 |
| stueng | sorry u lost me | 15:51 |
| ponto | Hi, starting with 12.04 we have severe NFS performance problems. Over a 1GB network we only get 20 MBytes per seconds. And one client machine is able to practially lock up the server. Is there a known problem? | 15:51 |
| gohdan | oCean, dbummy: cool. now what do i need to set for it to check on EVERY boot if the disk was not cleanly unmounted (a la slackware)? | 15:51 |
| mbartnic | hello. how can I change default audio output device | 15:51 |
| martijn_dekker | Hey all, I was wondering how to set up SLI on this Ubuntu 12.04 x64, Unity system. | 15:51 |

| martijn_dekker | I have two nvidia 460 something cards. | 15:51 |
| stueng | brb | 15:52 |
| martijn_dekker | Connected in a way that they work on Windows, which means they should probably work on Linux too if they're supported. | 15:52 |
| L3top | martijn_dekker: have you installed nvidia-current (proprietary nvidia driver)? | 15:52 |
| dbummy | gohdan: not sure... :( | 15:53 |
| martijn_dekker | L3top, synaptic lists nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates as installed. | 15:53 |
| bnovc | hello. When I run a ping from Linux, I'm getting considerably slower results than from Windows. The ping times it reports are the same, but the total time is way higher in Linux. e.g. for 10 packets, it seems to take Ubuntu 20s to run them, even with -i 0.2. Any suggestions on what may be causing this? | 15:53 |
| thauriswulfa | HELP: How do I start a new x-session? I am running the command sudo startx --:2 but its not working it says "fatal error: xserver is already active on display 0:" what should I do? | 15:53 |
| L3top | you would only want one of them, I would go with nvidia-current-updates firstly. | 15:53 |
| bnovc | here's an example of the output I'm getting http://pastebin.com/ufT3hd3e | 15:54 |
| jrib | thauriswulfa: space after --, also, no sudo | 15:54 |
| martijn_dekker | So I should mark nvidia-current for complete removal? | 15:54 |
| L3top | yes martijn_dekker. | 15:54 |
| martijn_dekker | On it. Would they have conflicted with eachother? | 15:55 |
| L3top | martijn_dekker: I would reboot, and then check the nvidia settings tool to use the two cards how you desire. | 15:55 |
| L3top | martijn_dekker: it would confuse the situation, yes. | 15:55 |
| martijn_dekker | Understood. Thanks, L3top. | 15:55 |
| martijn_dekker | Uhm. Would it also explain how Linux has been pretty slow at mildly graphical tasks like gaming and browsing? | 15:56 |
| gohdan | dbummy: D: too bad. ill dig around tune2's documentation and see if i can find anything | 15:56 |
| thauriswulfa | jrib: it worked but the compositing manager is not running | 15:56 |
| L3top | not necessarily martijn_dekker. | 15:56 |
| L3top | martijn_dekker: the nvidia-current driver (295.40) has regression issues, so if it was defaulting to that, then yes... it would. | 15:57 |
| martijn_dekker | Ah. Well, I've had it for quite a while. Part of the reason I don't like using Linux for anything serious: contrary to what everyone says, for me it's been slower than Windows :P | 15:58 |
| martijn_dekker | Anyway, Brb | 15:58 |
| === as456fgt is now known as dury | ||
| kmdm | So, anyway, I solved my boot issues - if anyone cares: 1) Upgrading 10.04 -> 12.04 : linux-image-generic was allowed to replace linux-image-virtual as the default boot kernel; 2) grub2 was upgraded from 1.98 to 1.99 but NOT installed to the MBR so the config didn't match the installed grub version, specifically: the part_msdos stuff. | 16:00 |
| tbrown_2012 | Going to install windows again and just have windows on my Laptop:) I cant belive everytime when I try to install a operating system I think it going to be the best. I had files on the other os that I had know I cant get them back I hate my self switching OS all the time it is stuped and finding the right one and knowing the right one is a front of you:) | 16:00 |
| dury | hi there channel :) | 16:00 |
| dury | gesssss 11.10 and 12.04 changes for worst | 16:01 |
| dury | not classic gnome as usually | 16:01 |
| L3top | dury: subjective assessment unfortunately. People tend to resist change. | 16:02 |
| martijn_dekker | I have returned | 16:02 |
| martijn_dekker | With the SLI option still hidden. | 16:02 |
| martijn_dekker | L3top, any other ideas I could try? | 16:02 |
| dury | L3top: is it for better? | 16:03 |
| martijn_dekker | Perhaps the SLI option has moved to another place than where it's shown on some old screenshot? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the program. | 16:03 |
| huppensuhn | ubuntu hangs at boot for about two minutes with the message "waiting for network configuration". after boot networks seems to be set up correctly (I'm using dhcp), but dns isn't working. this problem wasn't there a view hours ago. | 16:03 |
| L3top | SLI + linux is something I do not do... so I would revert to googling, however you are much better poised to find a solution without competing drivers at this point. | 16:03 |
| someone_ | @<martijn_dekker> what is SLI option?? | 16:03 |
| whoever | is there a linux alternative to electronic workbench? it is a circuit symulat | 16:04 |
| martijn_dekker | The NVIDIA X Server Settings program should have a checkbox or something similar for enabling SLI.. | 16:04 |
| martijn_dekker | But I can't find it anywhere. That's what I was talkinga bout, someone_ | 16:04 |
| L3top | dury: It depends on who you ask, and what they personally like. HUD is a nice improvement... it is, as I said, subjective. Nobody can tell you what is best for you. | 16:04 |
| dury | L3top: classic gnome2 | 16:05 |
| compdoc | huppensuhn, yeah, networking can be an issue if its not right | 16:05 |

| Spider | can someone help me | 16:11 |
| someone_ | @<Spider> talk | 16:11 |
| pmo_ | craigbass1976, sudo or be part os some sort of www-data group,then you'll be able to write everywhere group www-data is allowed to write | 16:11 |
| dury | L3top: thanks indeed... really appreciate it | 16:11 |
| gohdan | huppensuhn: right. just set them to your router ip if it has built in dns and you want that to handle your requests. nameserver 0.0.0.1 or something like that | 16:11 |
| craigbass1976 | pmo_, I could give www-data a password too I guess... | 16:12 |
| L3top | Oprtz: left hand panel top icon... sorry, I only have KDE in front of me. | 16:12 |
| pmo_ | craigbass1976, yes if it is on /etc/passwd | 16:12 |
| L3top | martijn_dekker: there are certain functions the old xorg.conf method is still used for, this may be one. | 16:12 |
| Oprtz | L3top: okie thanx :) | 16:12 |
| huppensuhn | gohdan, thanks, works. but what about "# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN"? | 16:12 |
| martijn_dekker | L3top, Thanks. Do I need to reboot or restart my x server to make it work? | 16:13 |
| compdoc | huppensuhn, you dont edit resolv.conf anymore. you add a file to /etc/resolvconf/ | 16:13 |
| L3top | martijn_dekker: because of the way nvidia deals with the framebuffer I would reboot in these circumstances | 16:13 |
| martijn_dekker | Understood. Thanks again | 16:14 |
| dury | L3top: may I ask.... why those changes in 11.10. briefly if you don't mind | 16:14 |
| martijn_dekker | xorg.conf is voodoo to me. | 16:14 |
| gohdan | huppensuhn: idk. dont have that in mine. just my local and remote name servers | 16:14 |
| huppensuhn | compdoc, kk, thank you | 16:14 |
| L3top | martijn_dekker: whether or not it is absolutely necessary, probably not... but I find wasting those seconds often saves me minutes of frustration | 16:14 |

| n-iCe | is there any way to remove all the 'effects' easly? | 16:23 |

| n-iCe | fidel_: well window button and s etc | 16:23 |
| monkeylab | i deleted it paddy | 16:23 |
| n-iCe | don't remember the commands | 16:23 |
| gohdan | c_smith: lavabit.com not as robust for the free option though. much more features for paid. inexpensive. no botnet | 16:23 |
| fidel_ | n-iCe: it will most likely depend already what desktop-environment (i.e. unity, gnome-shell ..) you select | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | n-iCe: if you log into Unity2D session you won't get any effects | 16:23 |
| n-iCe | ActionParsnip: I see | 16:24 |
| c_smith | meh, I don't have the money to drop on paid email, | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fidel_: unity and gnome-shell are not desktop environments | 16:24 |

| c_smith | gohdan, that's money I can't spare. | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | fraterm: have you checked the package fix document | 16:26 |
| PProvost | L3top: That command gives "Unable to locate package iceape-flashplugin". I'm thinking I just need to pull it from the dpkg database manually but I can't remember how. | 16:26 |

| c_smith | petsounds, so you might have to try entering the account from the start several times. | 16:31 |

| BlouBlou | GG111: Encrypt partition? not by default in ubuntu. I think you mean encrypt home folder | 17:57 |
| undecim | GG111: With the Desktop CD, your only option is to encrypt your home folder | 17:57 |
| undecim | GG111: This will also encrypt swap | 17:57 |
| GG111 | undecim: I see, so , is there a way to do that ? | 17:57 |
| undecim | GG111: If you want full drive encryption, use the alternate install CD | 17:57 |
| undecim | GG111: I'm pretty sure you can setup an encrypted LVM with that | 17:58 |
| slyborg | GG111: if you download the ubuntu alternate cd you can set up an encrypted LVM | 17:58 |
| BlouBlou | encrypting the whole hdd wouldn't make the computer too slow? | 17:58 |

| fidel_ | andreas_: there are most likely several ways to consider. 1 would be updating to the latest lts and check if it supports the device out of the box. another would be trying to get moreinformations about the device itself - ie.e using the lsusb command. the ugliest way for wifi-devices is using the windows -driver - but consider that as a last option | 18:01 |

| gabriele93 | i can change Xfce DE on ubuntu-studio? | 18:16 |
| Dr_willis | russjr08, it seems to be related to java apps somehow. | 18:16 |
| Dr_willis | gabriele93, install whatever desktop you want. | 18:16 |
| russjr08 | Yeah, because Netbeans does the same thing. | 18:16 |
| Funkt | i ther | 18:17 |
| zykotick9 | Jazire: record from youtube in realtime? why? youtube-dl the video, then dump the audio. | 18:17 |
| Funkt | Hi there how can i view gnome desktop in 11.10? | 18:17 |
| gabriele93 | Dr_willis, yes, but i can choose all DE? | 18:17 |
| Funkt | in 11.04 you can just select | 18:17 |
| gabriele93 | Dr_willis, because i have xfce | 18:18 |
| Funkt | is that poss in 11.10? | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkt: the default Ubuntu desktop is gnome... | 18:18 |
| Jazire | I want to record the music to get it for free | 18:18 |
| Funkt | Oh | 18:18 |
| Funkt | so why is it defualt to unity? | 18:18 |
| ZaEarl | the default ubuntu desktop is unity | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkt: unity is a shell | 18:18 |
| Funkt | hmm | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ZaEarl: unity isnt a desktop, its a shell | 18:18 |
| Funkt | over my head sorry | 18:18 |
| ZaEarl | Funkt, you want to install "sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool" | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ZaEarl: you can install gnome-panel then log off and log into gnome classic | 18:19 |
| gohdan | Jazire: youtube-dl will pull the file and convert to $favorite_format for you | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkt: unity replaces gnome-panel from the old versions | 18:19 |
| ZaEarl | what people refer to as gnome desktop is not installed by default | 18:19 |
| Funkt | oh brilliant than I can go back to normal? | 18:19 |
| zykotick9 | !notunity | ZaEarl | 18:20 |
| ubottu | ZaEarl: 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 | 18:20 |
| Funkt | I see | 18:20 |

| AlexGer83 | hello i've installed ubuntu 12.04 from the alternate cd. I'd like to get LTSP running. My problem I can't configure /etc/network/interfaces because NM (NetworkManager) is responsible for configuration... so i did apt-get remove network-manager-gnome network-manager -> Edited the interfaces rebooted... Booting system without full network configuration | 18:23 |
| russjr08 | How did I end up with 143 rep points on AskUbuntu...? I guess I used to use it a lot. | 18:23 |

| mister_m | Dr_willis, but thank you for the link | 18:23 |
| Jazire | thank you! | 18:23 |
| Dr_willis | mister_m, theres mention of some gui tools.. but i find it faster to use an text editor | 18:24 |
| Dr_willis | mister_m, and after you make it.. i think you CAN right click onit and use properties to change it. | 18:24 |

| Funkt | any ideas Negative-Zer0 | 18:34 |
| prc384 | commnad line typing mysql | 18:34 |

| Hilikus | hey guys | 18:36 |
| rolandb | Dr_willis, dd? | 18:36 |
| Hilikus | can someone help with me a hardware issue? | 18:36 |
| Hilikus | i have 3 sets of DIMMS, 1 is a kit of 2x1GB stick (lets call it A), the other is 1x1GB stick (B) and the last one is a stick i bought yesterday, 1x2GB (C). All sticks are rated for 800MHz and when i put each set separately the BIOS detects them at 800MHz, when i put A & B, it still detects them at 800MHz, but when i put A & C or B & C it detects them at 667MHz | 18:36 |
| Hilikus | so my first question is, what can cause the memory controller to underclock them? | 18:36 |
| RyoRonin | Funkt: when you type whereis crontab does it show one in /usr/bin ? | 18:37 |
| rolandb | Hilikus, wth does that have to do with ubuntu?? | 18:37 |
| Funkt | what does that mean???? | 18:37 |
| Funkt | sorry mate? | 18:37 |
| ZenMaster | Hilikus: I think one of your sticks is bad. | 18:37 |
| ZenMaster | Or rated wrong. | 18:37 |
| Artemis3 | Hilikus, just don't use the 1gb stick, just don't. but read your mb manual for a possible answer | 18:37 |
| VirtualBlackness | Hilikus: that is a hardware issue... running ganged or unganged | 18:37 |
| echo083 | i'm boring can i help anyone with anything ? | 18:37 |
| ZenMaster | People do that all the time, by stuff return the inferior product keep the good one. | 18:37 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | Funkt: type in whereis crontab | 18:37 |
| Funkt | ? | 18:38 |
| Funkt | thats what i get | 18:38 |
| Hilikus | ZenMaster: but when i try them separately they all run at 800MHz, how can they be defective? | 18:38 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | Funkt: are you even using linux??! | 18:38 |
| Funkt | yes! | 18:38 |
| Funkt | 11.04 | 18:38 |
| Hilikus | VirtualBlackness: there's no option to choose that in the bios, so i don't know | 18:38 |
| VirtualBlackness | Hilikus: they are not defective, you do not know what you are doing... and it is not an ubuntu issue. google ganged or ungagnged. | 18:38 |
| Funkt | ill try on the root terminal | 18:39 |
| RyoRonin | Funkt: what editor did you pick when it asked? | 18:39 |
| ZenMaster | Could be the bank on your mother board. Could be because your bord runs that high seperately or in duel channel mode. With only three your are missing one to do duel channel board. | 18:39 |
| ZenMaster | VirtualBlackness: Correct. | 18:39 |
| Funkt | err no 1? | 18:39 |
| RyoRonin | Funkt: was it vi? | 18:39 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 18:39 |
| Funkt | oh ok its finding it in root terminal | 18:39 |
| RyoRonin | Funkt: finding what? | 18:39 |
| Artemis3 | ZenMaster, its quite common for memory controllers to do things like that, degraded performance under subobtimal situations, he got lucky it could boot up at all | 18:40 |
| Hilikus | ZenMaster: i know i'm running single channel mode, and i'm using all 4 banks | 18:40 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | funkt: yea, are you maybe not at the shell | 18:40 |
| ZenMaster | rtfpessoa1: Totally. | 18:40 |

| ThePendulum | I have Windows installed on an SSD, but both the Ubuntu installer and gparted display the SSD as unallocated | 18:40 |
| Funkt | thanks for the help :) | 18:40 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | you should still have a crontab | 18:40 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | as any user | 18:40 |

| Negat1ve-Zer0 | but ok | 18:40 |
| Funkt | oh i see | 18:40 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | glad its working | 18:40 |
| Hilikus | VirtualBlackness: i googled that like 5 years ago. i know what those are. but my bios doesn't let me choose either so i don't know which one it uses | 18:41 |
| RyoRonin | Funkt: try opening another terminal as the normal user and see if it is working with crontab -l | 18:41 |
| Funkt | well all i want is to run a cron every hour so i get an mp3 play once | 18:41 |
| Hilikus | ZenMaster: ok, thanks | 18:41 |
| ThePendulum | redj0kR: I'd recommend to keep Windows running alongside Ubuntu if you are a gamer. You may be able to get some Windows games working in Ubuntu, but it will most likely only make you less font of Ubuntus greatness. | 18:41 |
| VirtualBlackness | Hilikus: this is not an ubuntu issue | 18:41 |
| Funkt | no crontab for root | 18:41 |
| Funkt | thats under normal user | 18:41 |
| Dr_willis | one normally dosent use cron to do things like play audio files. theres 'security' issues that may block some things. plus what if you are not logged in. :) the thing could be playing whle you are not home | 18:42 |

| ThePendulum | Did anyone else have the ploblem of Windows not being detected by the Ubuntu installer? | 18:42 |
| redj0kR | ok that is what i'm doing now i will continue like this. thanks for confirmation and don't worry i will continue on ubuntu ^ | 18:43 |
| k014 | ThePendulum: yes me, seems like just need to re install grub | 18:43 |
| k014 | that's all | 18:43 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | Funkt: are you sure you're at the shell? You have a $ or # prompt that is? | 18:43 |
| VirtualBlackness | RyoRonin: crontab -l returns the same on both 1204 and 1004 for me as well under each user | 18:43 |
| k014 | grub-install | 18:43 |
| VirtualBlackness | no crontab for X | 18:43 |
| ThePendulum | k014: At what point, and where? | 18:43 |
| ThePendulum | k014: Ubuntu is not installed at all right now | 18:44 |
| Funkt | no i have a huge page with loads of options | 18:44 |
| k014 | i your ubuntu session, open a terminal and reinstall grub | 18:44 |

| Negat1ve-Zer0 | oh, so you're in an editor | 18:44 |
| ThePendulum | k014: There is no Ubuntu yet... | 18:44 |
| k014 | oh | 18:44 |
| Funkt | yeah thats right | 18:44 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | prob in vi, or something | 18:44 |
| k014 | sorry | 18:44 |
| zykotick9 | k014: for your ls with paths, have you tried using "find" literally, just "find" ;) | 18:44 |

| ceti331__ | anyone heere got an ARGB compositor and theme working ? | 18:44 |
| ThePendulum | k014: I guess I'll just go on and install Ubuntu on the full SSD, then install Windows alongside Ubuntu, and reinstall grub | 18:45 |
| ceti331__ | e.g. ability to set all icons, window decorations up with true ARGB images | 18:45 |
| user11357 | When I am using the login shell, I always get an error message that says: [sdb]asking for drive cache data failed assuming drive cache :write through | 18:45 |
| k014 | zykotick9: i gonna try that, than you | 18:45 |
| k014 | thanks you | 18:45 |
| user11357 | it gets in the way when I am using vim | 18:45 |
| Funkt | wooo what does that mean VirtualBlackness? | 18:45 |
| k014 | ThePendulum: yes, there's no problem installing ubuntu and not detecting windows | 18:45 |
| k014 | you can allways put windows later | 18:45 |
| VirtualBlackness | that is what I get with crontab -e on any user 1004 or 1204 | 18:45 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | so Funkt, what are you trying to do now, I take it you are in the editor editing your crontab file | 18:45 |
| VirtualBlackness | that was user mcc | 18:46 |
| Funkt | Yes! | 18:46 |
| Funkt | Now I would like an mp3 to play once every hour? | 18:46 |
| Funkt | any ideas? | 18:46 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | well, what mp3 player do you have | 18:46 |
| ThePendulum | k014: I'd rather just keep Windows installed though. Also, how should I get in an Ubuntu session after installing Windows? If I can get into Ubuntu, then why do I need to reinstall grub at all? | 18:46 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | man crontab | 18:46 |
| Dr_willis | user11357, you mean the console? theres a /etc/SOMEFILE that has an option to disable kernel messages from the consoles like that. i forget what oneit is.. sysconfig perhaps? | 18:46 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | from the shell | 18:46 |
| Funkt | erm... not sure do you have to tell it to run through a certain player? | 18:46 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | will tell you how entries should look | 18:47 |
| Dr_willis | user11357, not on ubuntu right now so i cant look. | 18:47 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | all crontab does is run an executable/script, etc... | 18:47 |
| k014 | ThePendulum: actually i have the same problem... to get to an ubuntu session, u'll need a live session | 18:47 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | so yes | 18:47 |
| k014 | using a pendrive or cd image | 18:47 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | you have to "tell it" by providing it the command to run | 18:47 |
| k014 | bott from tthat | 18:47 |
| ThePendulum | k014: Alright, but how do I install grub correctly? | 18:47 |
| Funkt | of course! | 18:47 |
| ThePendulum | k014: If I install grub from within the live session, it will just install on the flash drive? | 18:47 |
| ThePendulum | And then disappear after closing the session | 18:48 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | so first off you need to know what mp3 player you use and how to run it from the command line | 18:48 |
| Toagac|School | apt-get upgrade will continue even if I log out of ssh, right? | 18:48 |
| Funkt | right | 18:48 |
| user11357 | so I have to modify a config file? great. which one? | 18:48 |
| k014 | ThePendulum: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 18:48 |

| Negat1ve-Zer0 | funkt: do you have one that you use now? | 18:48 |
| Funkt | sorry mate this is far too complex thanks for the help! | 18:48 |
| Funkt | I don't think ill bother lol | 18:49 |

| VirtualBlackness | ThePendulum: apt-get install grub2 is how you install grub2 to begin with. sudo grub-install /dev/sdX would be how you install it to a drive, update-grub would be how that grub install scans and applys your drives. | 18:49 |
| k014 | ThePendulum: sorry i have no idea on that :), i just install ubuntu, and then attacj the windows disk, and reinstalles grub, that's all | 18:49 |

| gkaklas | ThePendulum, after installing ubuntu everytime you turn your computer on you will get a menu asking if you want to boot ubuntu or windows... | 18:50 |
| ThePendulum | gkaklas: I installed Windows last Wednesday so a friend of mine could game, and I'd like to keep Windows for the purpose of gaming. However, I can't stand it for anything else, so I need to get back to Ubuntu... now the Ubuntu installed nor gparted on a live CD recognizes Windows, it just shows the SSD (with Windows on it) as empty | 18:51 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | i mean it's not automatic, there's usually learning involved with linux/unix systems, it can all be overwhelming at first but after awhile it's rewarding | 18:51 |

| hellslinger | ThePendulum: check out ntfsresize, you can resize your ntfs partition and put a partition with ubuntu along size it | 18:53 |
| daniel2 | ThePendulum: cool never new that | 18:53 |
| ThePendulum | hellslinger: Again, Ubuntu (and any program) just considers the SSD to be empty, unallocated, unused | 18:53 |
| hellslinger | ThePendulum: ntfsresize has to be used with care, though, so make sure to read the manual and a howto thoroughly before proceeding | 18:54 |
| ThePendulum | hellslinger: There's no partition on it according to Ubuntu | 18:54 |
| ThePendulum | I know how to partition | 18:54 |
| user11357 | Sorry, I'm pretty new to IRC | 18:54 |
| ThePendulum | But I never partitioned a non-empty empty disk | 18:54 |
| hellslinger | ThePendulum: you can look at the drive with fdisk or gdisk to see if they can see the partition table | 18:55 |
| ThePendulum | And I somehow can't install to the liveusb | 18:55 |
| zykotick9 | user11357: i sent you !tab cause you typed my nic last time (incorrectly). zy<TAB><TAB> is a lot easier, and i get highlighted ;) | 18:55 |

| gkaklas | ThePendulum, the only time gparted showed my windows's disk empty was when the disk's filesystem was corrupted (that is not a problem, just boot windows and will automatically get fixed). It is also possible that you don't have the correct libraries to read the filesystem. What filesystem do you use on your SSD? | 19:00 |
| gkaklas | user11357, i'm a bit familiar with vim, what's your question? :) | 19:01 |
| user11357 | gkaklas: It has already been answered. Thanks though :) | 19:01 |
| Dr_willis | user11357, check out the 'vimtutor | 19:02 |
| Dr_willis | user11357, check out the 'vimtutor' program | 19:02 |
| hellslinger | ThePendulum: gkaklas is right, and windows doesn't use anything buit NTFS which is always readable by ubuntu, you should run ntfsfix or do a disk check while in windows | 19:02 |
| Fat-Thing | :( think i can't solve my problem huhu | 19:02 |
| hellslinger | ThePendulum: gkaklas, if your SSD is on a raid controller or in raid, it may cause problems reading it too. check your bios to confirm | 19:03 |

| ActionParsnip | !fsck | 19:27 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 19:27 |

| zykotick9 | russjr08: ownership only has main user and group - so two options. if you take ownership as user, the other person will be removed | 19:54 |
| Polah | russjr08, chown will set you to the owner. You could set it to be publically readable (xx4) or group readable (x4x) and add yourself to the group. | 19:55 |
| russjr08 | Thanks guys :D It worked! | 19:55 |
| user11357 | oh, if you can't execute ls, type "chmod a+x /home/username/ls" | 19:56 |
| russjr08 | Actually, is there a recursive flag to chown? To own all of the folders? | 19:56 |
| zykotick9 | Polah: russjr08 FYI you don't want 4 with a directory, you want 5 | 19:56 |
| gkaklas | Fat-Thing, so you have the back-up folder on the windows partition/drive and ready to install ubuntu? | 19:57 |

| gkaklas | Fat-Thing, generally i recommend updating your system to the newest version - that includes installing ubuntu12.04. If you have 2 partitions you will recognize the windows one - it has a windows folder in it ;) | 20:02 |
| user11357 | that's it... i can't figure it out | 20:03 |
| Fat-Thing | so how can i do it gkaklas ? using terminal? i need clean upgrade if possible? | 20:03 |
| Galvatron | Fat-Thing: Ubuntu 12.04 itself is pretty problematic, mostly due to the unstable/developmental Unity/Compiz solution. For that reason i would rather recommend trying Kubuntu (KDE is far more stable). | 20:05 |
| guntbert | zastaph: no, as ubuntu (like most linux distros) has no services running - so no need to allow/disallow anything | 20:05 |
| GreekFreak | I'm trying to run a crontab job, and from the little that I know I have a feeling I don't have permissions for it. I've read I need to add my username in the cron.allow or remove it from cron.deny, but the files don't exist. Any advice? | 20:05 |
| Abhinav | I feel 12.04 is quite stable | 20:05 |
| notze | ubuntu doesnt even work properly with apt-get update | 20:05 |
| user11357 | I'm about to go to Mint LXDE. Better for a netbook, anyway | 20:05 |
| notze | i always get errors | 20:05 |
| notze | with diffrent servers | 20:06 |
| Marzata | notze: what? | 20:06 |
| Fat-Thing | Galvatron, what made u say so? oh and why recommend kubuntu? that's weird u're in #ubuntu huhuhuhu | 20:06 |
| zastaph | guntbert, yeah but im searching for something that would pop up the first time I launch firefox for instance | 20:06 |
| notze | i post in a second | 20:06 |
| gkaklas | Fat-Thing, there are two ways of upgrading: (1) format and reinstall at the ubuntu partition (2) upgrade using the update manager. If you want a clean upgrade use (1) - note that all documents and settings on the ubuntu partition will be deleted. To get a clean upgrade you need an installation cd or usb key. | 20:06 |
| Marzata | notze: apt-get is one of the best package managers | 20:06 |
| Fat-Thing | i'm not familiar with KDE desktop so ain't gonna try that coz i think it's complicated rather gnome :) | 20:06 |
| guntbert | zastaph: doesn't exist to my knowledge - and I can see no reason - surely you will know when and why you start firefox | 20:07 |
| user11357 | WINDOWS | 20:07 |
| L3top | Fat-Thing: I love kde. Find it much less complicated, but with a whole lot more fluff... however on 1204, it seems less problematic for me than unity. | 20:07 |
| zastaph | guntbert, but i wouldnt know if an app wants to secretly call an URL.. so what im really looking for is an anti-spyware thingie, that alerts me when it happens | 20:07 |
| Fat-Thing | gkaklas, is it possible upgrading without cd!? just thru internet in using terminal? | 20:08 |
| guntbert | zastaph: keep to the apps from the ubuntu repos - they are open source and spyware would be detected quickly | 20:08 |
| L3top | However in concept, I very much like unity, and believe it will be superior, once some things are ironed out. | 20:08 |

| gkaklas | Galvatron, Fat-Thing, it is true, 12.04 graphics are pretty unstable. If you want you should give Kubuntu (KDE) a try. (The unstability of unity etc. was one of the reasons i switched to debian btw) | 20:11 |
| faceface | L3top: zykotick9 had it | 20:11 |

| Fat-Thing | what about mint!? | 20:11 |
| gkaklas | Fat-Thing, if you want a clean reinstall usb or cd is the only way. Otherwise you should use the update manager... | 20:11 |
| zastaph | guntbert, right.. but I have a situation where I want my app to be able to use networking, and don't know beforehand what services it wants to call, but it would be so much simpler if I could decide each time it wants to access something new, as it happens..

| Etale | I've been using wubi for a long time now. | 21:19 |
| Aprel | Etale: yes, Ubuntu installer has partitioning tools | 21:19 |
| Orpheon | vlt: I have /no/ idea. I'm not really experienced, sorry. | 21:19 |
| korn788 | i was going to suggest that lol | 21:19 |
| Orpheon | gohdan: Heh, ok. Could you upload your version? Maybe some copy and paste can fix stuff | 21:19 |
| Etale | korn788, I'm done with that. I want a dual boot on the laptop that I got today. | 21:19 |
| Polah | Etale: Yes, there are options to allow Ubuntu to set up its own partitions in any remaining free space, in which case I think it sets up a swap partition equal in size to your RAM and the rest as a single continuous ext4 partition. There's quite a simple tool to set up your own partitions though; I would recommend shrinking your Windows partition in Windows itself and making your storage partition NTFS, leaving the remaining space for Ubun | 21:20 |
| Polah | tu and swap to be set up when you install it. | 21:20 |
| Etale | Aprel, thanks! Should I worry about certain partitions have to be primary? | 21:20 |
| korn788 | ok goto start>control panel | 21:20 |
| Polah | Etale: The only partition that needs to be primary is your Windows partition. | 21:20 |
| Etale | Polah, how do I do that? | 21:20 |
| Baribal | Hi. I'm trying to get pyopencl to work. It seems that to do that, I need the ATI Stream SDK. Sadly, all web resources on that are at least two LTS-releases old, and I can't find the SDK package/source itself. Any pointers? | 21:20 |
| Etale | Really, Linux doesn't have to be primary? | 21:20 |
| gohdan | \ | 21:21 |
| alecbenzer | how can I bind gnome-do to alt+f2? ie, gnome-panel's launcher currently takes precedence | 21:21 |
| korn788 | no wubi would make windows prim | 21:21 |
| Etale | As I said, I want a Windows partition, a Linux partition and a storage partition. Unfortunately I think I will have to keep the recovery partition and the system_drv partitions that came with the thinkpad... | 21:21 |
| vlt | Etale: No. You can boot linux off a health insurance card if you like ;-) | 21:21 |
| Etale | korn788, I don't want wubi. | 21:21 |
| korn788 | ok | 21:21 |
| Etale | vlt, would it make it slower? | 21:22 |
| gohdan | Orpheon: probably not wise to load random binaries | 21:22 |
| vlt | Etale: What exactly? | 21:22 |
| Etale | vlt, if Linux is not on a primary partition would it be slower? | 21:22 |
| Aprel | Etale: I installed dual-boot with Windows 8 cp and found the Ubuntu partitioner very user friendly. :) | 21:22 |
| vlt | Etale: No. | 21:22 |
| wolfdart | Hi folks. Can you help me with this issue? See this screenshot (http://s13.postimage.org/6kienasqd/gedit.png) and look the color of the embedded terminal on gedit: it's impossible to use it with this grey bg and white letter color! Can I change that? | 21:22 |
| Etale | Aprel, would it be possible to also dictate that there will be a (NTFS) storage partition in the installation? | 21:23 |
| wolfdart | I installed this plugin via gedit-plugins package | 21:23 |
| Baribal | I can't even find the SDK on amd.com | 21:23 |
| Aprel | Etale: no, not with Ubuntu partitioner, unfort. | 21:23 |
| korn788 | oh yea just boot the ubuntu CD or USB whatever your using and run it live then do the partitioning in there | 21:23 |
| Etale | Also somebody (who?) here recommended that I shrink the Windows partition from within Windows. Why should I do that, and how do I do that? | 21:23 |
| Etale | Aprel, then what do I use? | 21:23 |
| Etale | Gparted? | 21:23 |
| Orpheon | gohdan: Could this be a bug, or are there other things I should test | 21:24 |
| Orpheon | ? | 21:24 |
| Tittu | how do I craete a launcher on desktop ? | 21:24 |
| macram | Tittu, GOOD QUESTION | 21:24 |
| macram | you can make a soft link and set the icon by yourself | 21:24 |
| Orpheon | Does anyone have an idea why installing nvidia-current via the Additional Drivers doesn't install all the files? | 21:24 |
| korn788 | shrink? its allow you to use the space you have left on the HD to make a partition for anything like storage or ubuntu i did that with my main pc | 21:24 |
| Tittu | macram: thank you, but what is a soft link and how do i create it ? | 21:24 |
| Aprel | Etale: I'm pretty sure Ubuntu partitioner can shrink a NTFS part, but not make one. | 21:24 |
| gohdan | Orpheon: i dont know enough about nvidia's behaviour on *nix to give you an answer one way or the other | 21:25 |
| korn788 | just doesnt have linux on it yet | 21:25 |
| macram | Aprel, can shrink and make NTFS partitions. | 21:25 |
| korn788 | its easy in windows | 21:25 |
| jottbe | hi | 21:25 |
| Etale | korn788, tell me how. | 21:25 |
| Aprel | macram: really? Maybe that was added to 12.04. I installed 11.04. | 21:25 |
| macram | Tittu, you can look for the binary, alt-drag it into the desktop and select "Link" | 21:25 |
| GreekFreak | Is there anyone in here comfortable with Cron commands? I'm trying to find out if I should be putting them in /etc/crontab or anywhere else | 21:25 |
| korn788 | ok | 21:26 |
| macram | Aprel, what do you want to do exactly | 21:26 |
| korn788 | here | 21:26 |
| jottbe | I have a problem with my ubuntu system pm-hibernae does not properly work anymore | 21:26 |
| Polah | Etale: I recommend shrinking the Windows partition in Windows just to attempt to avoid problems. Gparted in Ubuntu can do it as well though. In Windows, you can do it by going to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Disk Management. You should defragment your partitions before shrinking or anything else (I'd recommend Defraggler from Piriform, since last time I checked Window's own defragger does a rubbish job) | 21:26 |
| alecbenzer | poke -- anyone? remapping alt+f2 to gnome-do in gnome 2? | 21:26 |
| star314 | After shutting powering off a kvm guest, I'm using "brctl delif" and "tunctl -d" to remove the remaining/unused interface from the bridge. Afterwards, the system is for about 20 seconds not accessible through the network. I'm guessing it runs in a timeout. Unfortunately, setting "bridge_stp off", "bridge_fd 0", and "bridge_maxwait 0" did not fix the problem. It must be a very common problem. Any suggestions how to fix it? My full network/interfaces fi | 21:26 |

| wolfdart | Hi folks. Can you help me with this issue? See this screenshot (http://s13.postimage.org/6kienasqd/gedit.png) and look the color of the embedded terminal on gedit: it's impossible to use it with this grey bg and white letter color! Can I change that? | 21:27 |
| Aprel | macram: I was referring to Etale's prob | 21:27 |
| Polah | Aprel: Gparted on the installation disc can manage NTFS partitions, and it can be installed from the repos as well | 21:27 |
| undecim | Will deja dup automatically ignore folders where other filesystems are mounted? e.g. the folders in .gvfs? | 21:27 |
| gohdan | Orpheon: seems like a bug or some sort of pre/post-install / config issues or something. | 21:27 |
| Tittu | macram: Thanks. but I want to do something different. I am running a virtual box, and I want to create a desktop shortcut to launch the main drive which is mounted in /media/drive. But i need sudo previliges to open it. So i was thinking of creating a launcher to launch nautilus with sudo previliges in that directory. | 21:27 |
| korn788 | when your there pick the drive you want to shrink (only if you have more drive do you really need to pick like me :) ) | 21:28 |
| Polah | Tittu: Have you tried setting group/public read permissions? | 21:28 |
| korn788 | and right-click and select shrink | 21:28 |
| Tittu | Polah: how do i do that ? | 21:28 |
| macram | Tittu, I made it before! But I don't know how can I do it in Precise. | 21:28 |
| Orpheon | gohdan: I'll come back tomorrow and ask some other people again. :P Thank you, you have given me a lot of information. Now I actually know what could cause the problem... | 21:29 |
| undecim | wolfdart: It looks like it's using the color, but not the background from the default config | 21:29 |
| macram | You only should put gksudo before the command in the config dialog of the link | 21:29 |
| korn788 | shrink volume* | 21:29 |
| scarwolf | join /server irc.myirc.eu | 21:29 |
| Aprel | Etale: it's usually best that Windows be installed first. If it installs its bootloader over grub, it'll make it harder to configure the dual-boot | 21:29 |
| scarwolf | Sorry | 21:29 |
| gohdan | Orpheon: try the mailing list. no need to idle in irc. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users | 21:29 |
| xapel | every time I open Software Center I have to turn on recommendations. Why is that? | 21:29 |
| korn788 | aprel is right | 21:29 |
| undecim | wolfdart: try changing the color to "black on white" in a normal terminal window. | 21:29 |
| macram | Tittu, it should be something like "gksudo nautilus /your/directory" | 21:29 |
| wolfdart | undecim: yes. I changed the gedit color scheme, but it did not help | 21:29 |
| korn788 | but i think he has windows already installed | 21:29 |
| bibi23 | hi, I'm trying to do a symlink to a php file, and I'd like that symlink to be executable, is it possible with symlinks or should I use something else? It looks like it doesn't work | 21:30 |
| NcA | GreekFreak: crontab -e | 21:30 |
| undecim | wolfdart: Restarted gedit since that? | 21:30 |
| Polah | Tittu: chmod the mount point to 766 if you need write access, 764 if you only need read access. You might want to do it recursively. This would be fine if you're the only user | 21:30 |
| Etale | Okay, defragging from defraggler. | 21:30 |
| korn788 | DONT DEFRAGG!!!!!! | 21:30 |
| wolfdart | undecim: Yes! I will try change the terminal color scheme | 21:30 |
| wolfdart | Lets see | 21:30 |
| korn788 | you dont need to | 21:30 |
| Etale | Why not? | 21:30 |
| korn788 | sorry hit cap lock lolz | 21:31 |
| RidDrib | hello | 21:31 |
| GreekFreak | NcA, yes but that opens a file in tmp. And it doesn't run my cron commands. Whereas it does in /etc/crontab. Although I have a feeling it's the wrong place | 21:31 |
| Baribal | Fraggles? | 21:31 |
| korn788 | because in dual-booting you dont need too | 21:31 |
| Tittu | polah, marcam: thanks. after i cange the previliges, how do i create a launcher on desktop ? just alt-drag it ? | 21:31 |
| korn788 | that all | 21:31 |
| C-S-B | Hello, I've done a fresh install of ubuntu-server 12.04 and installed LAMP, I've installed the package phpmyadmin and it is not working | 21:31 |
| xapel | every time I open Software Center I have to turn on recommendations. Why is that? | 21:31 |
| APoulos | So is there a package called "kde-standard" that installs the KDE desktop environment but without all the apps? | 21:31 |
| Etale | I'm confused, a lot of people told me that I should. | 21:31 |
| C-S-B | File does not exist: /var/www/phpMyAdmin | 21:31 |
| Etale | In any case, it's almost done. | 21:31 |
| Polah | Etale, korn788 you should defrag regularly anyway, since NTFS does a terrible job of file placement | 21:31 |
| NcA | GreekFreak: When you save/write the file, it should* permanently commit it | 21:32 |
| Aprel | Etale: defragging won't hurt anythng | 21:32 |
| vlt | C-S-B: “not worling”? | 21:32 |
| C-S-B | However, I can confirm that my phpmyadmin conf is in /etc/apache2/conf.d | 21:32 |

I have refit working (I think) but when I try to access the linux partition for install all I get is a msg "missing operating system" a blinking cursor and it goes nowhere. Does anyone how to boot into a blank partition. I would like to install onto the new partition and not use bootcamp. Thank you very much……… | 21:51 |
| Ca11um | I've installed OpenJDK and tried running it; it launches, but once I login I get a black screen | 21:51 |
| Aprel | Ca11um: try installing oracle's java | 21:51 |

| Aprel | Ca11um: it's for open-source, so you can't get it with apt-get. Google oracle java to get a .tar file | 21:52 |

| ld_aravena | how download privative codecs? | 21:55 |
| Polah | APoulos, have you installed any proprietary drivers for your GPU? | 21:55 |
| korn788 | but can i run terminal before the installer then tell it the file for install are on my USB not my CD drive | 21:55 |
| APoulos | Polah, Nvidia | 21:56 |
| Polah | APoulos, was is distorted before or after you installed the proprietary drivers? | 21:56 |
| Aprel | It may be Ubuntu initializes the driver later on once installed, but right away when booting live cd | 21:56 |
| Aprel | I've run into the same thing | 21:56 |
| jgalt | just installed 10.04 lts on this box. now that im logged in where are my dropdown menus so i can at least get a xterm open and get real work done? | 21:57 |
| Aprel | APoulos: were you originally using on-board graphics? | 21:57 |
| Aprel | jgalt: there are no dropdown menus. Click on the top icon in the left toolbar and type in "termina;" | 21:59 |
| Aprel | ^ terminal | 21:59 |
| APoulos | Polah, Aprel its been like that - and its only like that to the splash screen when ubuntu is booting up - not like that when Im running it | 22:00 |
| Polah | jgalt, on 10.04 I think Terminal comes under accessories (if that's there, 10.04 is a while ago). Alternately you can do ctrl+shift+T | 22:00 |
| APoulos | Polah, Aprel so its been like that even before the Nvidia drivers | 22:00 |
| korn788 | hey what about the MINI CD for internet installs | 22:00 |
| APoulos | Polah, Aprel because I'm on an Nvidia board | 22:00 |
| Areckx | Hi I never had a problem with xchat beforer, and just after installing Eclipse IDE and oracle-jdk7 it just sits there and crashes, I don't know if it's relevant, because it has crashed like this before, do I have too many channels and servers on startup? should I remove the Japanese channels??? | 22:01 |
| korn788 | can i make a USB installer out of that? | 22:01 |
| Areckx | I use Ubuntu 10.04 | 22:01 |
| APoulos | Polah, Aprel could i use Grub Customizer to edit the Splash menu resolution? | 22:01 |
| Aprel | Apoulos: can you think of what might have changed between when it wasn't stretched and then stretcjed? | 22:01 |
| Aprel | Driver update? | 22:01 |
| APoulos | Aprel, no, its been like that since I installed it. it wasnt like that when i ran it from Live CD | 22:02 |
| Polah | korn788, yes you can load the minimal image onto a USB and boot it to install. | 22:02 |
| APoulos | Aprel, you get me? | 22:02 |
| Aprel | Apoulos: yea | 22:02 |
| Areckx | I installed JDK7 from this guide http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html | 22:02 |
| korn788 | ok then i might have to try that as long as it doesnt ask for a CD | 22:02 |

| Aprel | APoulos: The only thing I can think of is the live cd loads an nVidia driver right away at boot, but once it's installed, it uses generic settings.... | 22:04 |
| Aprel | APoulos: I had the same prob. I used to use on-board gfx, then added a video card, and have the same stretched splach screen :/ | 22:05 |

| Polah | APoulos, have you tried the other driver? | 22:08 |
| rhizmoe | 1px is l4ym3 | 22:09 |
| Aprel | APoulos: yeah, I've tried the original (what you're using) and the (version current-updates). Same prob. | 22:09 |

| APoulos | Polah, Aprel - I found something actually - check this out: http://i.imgur.com/LxBjo.png | 22:10 |
| OerHeks | Fat-Thing, some system config files, that is why they are hidden not to confuse you | 22:11 |
| Aprel | Apoulos: Cool! You think "Aspect Ratio Scaled" would mitigate the prob? | 22:11 |
| Polah | APoulos, I'm using the post-release updates driver and never had the issue you're talking about. You could try setting your settings to ratio scaled and then centered, see if that works. | 22:11 |
| Guest98896 | hello, is this the appropriate place for this post or should I be posting this to another list serve? I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBookPro 15" Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac-osx is on the first half of a terabyte hard drive. I have refit working (I think) but when I try to access the linux partition for install all I get is a msg "missing operating system" a blinking cursor and it goes nowhere. Does anyone how to boot into a blank partition. I would like to | 22:12 |
| Guest98896 | install onto the new partition and not use bootcamp. Thank you very much……… | 22:12 |

| iLogical | I have this problem. I am using nvidia proprietary drivers but it doesn't show up in "Hardware Drives".

And sometime it goes away or I need to restart the | 22:13 |
| iLogical | computer several times until it stops. | 22:13 |
| iLogical | are* | 22:13 |
| Nach0z | Fat-Thing: It depends on the program. Some of them go in /usr/bin/ some of them go in /usr/sbin, it just depends. Also, normally the executable itself, the configuration files, and the documentation, go to different directories. | 22:14 |
| Fat-Thing | Nach0z, is there a way to track application's folder!? | 22:14 |
| vlt | Fat-Thing: An installed program puts its files in several directories, depending on the type. Executables usually go in /usr/bin/, config files in /etc/, libraries in /usr/ … | 22:14 |
| vlt | Fat-Thing: The package manager will keep track of the files in case they need to be updated or going to be removed. | 22:15 |
| Nach0z | Fat-Thing: You can find the exact files using "dkpg -L <packagename>" | 22:15 |
| Nach0z | Fat-Thing: so if it was firefox, you could do | 22:15 |
| Nach0z | "dpkg -L firefox" and it'll list off where files are for that specific program. | 22:15 |

| APoulos | Polah, Aprel none of the nvidia server settings did anything | 22:19 |
| APoulos | Aprel, something tells me its in the grub settings | 22:19 |
| APoulos | but im not sure | 22:20 |
| APoulos | Polah, Aprel im going to try the post release drivers | 22:20 |
| Aprel | APoulos: okay. Good luck. I'll look around grub a little. | 22:21 |
| APoulos | Aprel, yeah take a look at Grub-Customizer | 22:21 |
| APoulos | Aprel, cant remember the ppa for it | 22:21 |
| Aprel | Apoulos: if we're lucky, there'll be some "resolution" setting sin the grub config | 22:22 |

| k014 | hello!, i am having problems with my windows 7 partition: in order to install a dual boot, first i installed windows7, with only the windows7 hard disk plugged, next, i installed ubuntu in another disk (with windows hard disk connected too), so now i have grub with dual boot.... but when trying to boot windows, fails into an infinite recovery loop boot, how can i solve this? | 22:22 |
| APoulos | k014, the best way to dual boot is to use FreeBCD | 22:23 |
| APoulos | k014, sorry EasyBCD | 22:23 |
| Aprel | k014: the installs need to be on the same hdd to do a dual boot | 22:24 |
| APoulos | k014, that replaces Grub with the Windows Dual Boot settings, so there wont be any issues on the windows side and you can keep your Ubuntu running | 22:24 |
| APoulos | Aprel, gotta restart my cpu for the updates - one sec | 22:24 |
| Nach0z | k014: Boot ubuntu, and run "sudo updategrub2", see if that works, if not, you could try SuperGrub2Disk | 22:24 |
| Aprel | k014: you can install them on separate hdds and then go to your BIOS settings and pick which hdd to boot from | 22:25 |
| Aprel | That's not technically a dual boot, though, but it'll do what you want | 22:25 |
| k014 | i installed windows 7 and ubuntu in different disks | 22:25 |
| Aprel | It'll prob be annoying having to go to your Bios whenever you want to boot a different os, tho | 22:26 |
| k014 | yes | 22:26 |
| k014 | i dont know why is does not working now | 22:26 |
| === home is now known as Al-Hind | ||
| Aprel | you need to install on same hard drive if you want to dual boot with grub. Install windows first | 22:26 |
| k014 | i just wanted to format my windows 7 partition...., but this time it doesn't work | 22:26 |
| Junjie | exactly | 22:26 |
| Al-Hind | Hello | 22:26 |
| Junjie | You should install it on same hard drive | 22:27 |
| Nach0z | yeah, honestly, I'd have installed them on the same disk, and just mounted directories to the other disk, k014 | 22:27 |
| Al-Hind | can ubuntu search a word inside a file? | 22:27 |

| Aprel | Nach0z describes ideally what you want to do | 22:27 |
| k014 | is necesary to install in the same disk?, i mean, just a week ago i had grub booting ubuntu and windows in separate disks | 22:27 |
| Nach0z | Aprel: I'm responding to k014, lol | 22:28 |
| Nach0z | k014: yes, it's necessary, to my knowledge, but you can mount different directories to different disks. | 22:28 |
| Aprel | Nach0z: yeah i know. I was underscore your point for k014 because that's prob the best option for himn :) | 22:28 |
| k014 | oh god i hat windows | 22:28 |

| wilee-nilee | k014, I did say functional. | 22:33 |
| Nach0z | iLogical: try shortening your question :| | 22:33 |
| Aprel | k014: are use referring to windows 7 or 8 cp? | 22:33 |
| k014 | windows7 | 22:33 |
| Al-Hind | this is complicated , doesnt ubuntu have a search like windows? | 22:34 |
| Aprel | k014: Is it possible your win recovery partition is still on the drive with linux? | 22:34 |
| L3top | k014: something is wrong... I would use windows to fixmbr then fixboot then update-grub again once windows boots | 22:34 |
| L3top | Al-Hind: linux has a MUCH more powerful search than windows... it is grep | 22:34 |
| iLogical | I get a black screen. I can ctrl+f6, ctrl+f7 to get it back. Sometimes I need to restart the computer several times to stop it. How do I fix that? | 22:34 |
| k014 | Aprel: no, windows (sdb1 and sdb2) and ubuntu (sda1) are in differents disks L3top: what do you mean? | 22:35 |
| Nach0z | iLogical: nvidia drivers. alright. Are you on a laptop? | 22:35 |
| iLogical | no? | 22:35 |
| iLogical | no! | 22:35 |
| Tittu | how do i switch back to gnome from unity in ubuntu 12.04 ? | 22:36 |
| Nach0z | no. not a laptop. hm. | 22:36 |
| L3top | k014: in order for windows to function, it needs to think it is boss... then you can actually control it with windows. | 22:36 |
| iLogical | accidental (?? | 22:36 |
| L3top | iLogical: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 22:36 |
| Al-Hind | L3top in windows i use windows search and very simple i find it hard on ubuntu | 22:36 |

| Al-Hind | for example i have an odt file containing list of employees and i want to find client name smith how do i do it? | 22:37 |
| k014 | L3top: how? | 22:37 |
| L3top | iLogical: did you try and install the fglrx drivers? apt-cache policy fglrx | grep Installed | 22:37 |
| k014 | also a note: gparted shows that boot disks have the flag "boot" in their first partitions | 22:37 |
| LordOfTime | Al-Hind: open the file in the program that can read that? | 22:37 |
| LordOfTime | odt is an open office / libre office data type | 22:37 |
| iLogical | L3top, Installed: 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu6 | 22:38 |
| L3top | k014: as I explained... boot to windows recovery console (from disk) and run the commands fixmbr and then fixboot, then reboot and update-grub | 22:38 |
| Al-Hind | lordoftime i have lots of docx files and in it are client names , in windows search if i type smith it points to the file name and location in the file, how to do in ubuntu? | 22:38 |
| L3top | iLogical: your chipset is explicitly not supported. | 22:39 |
| k014 | now i am removing the flag "boot" from linux partition (sda1) | 22:39 |
| k014 | L3top: thank you...! i gonna try that | 22:39 |
| gohdan | Al-Hind: try 'gnome-search-tool' | 22:39 |
| L3top | iLogical: I am going to pm you if it is ok with you and the mods to give you a number of commands to purge that and reinstall your drivers | 22:39 |
| iLogical | ok | 22:39 |
| LordOfTime | Al-Hind: try what gohdan recommended, but my client crap is in an encrypted db so... makes my job easier :P | 22:39 |
| L3top | ok with you ikonia or IdleOne? | 22:40 |

| vicatcu | hi all - my ubuntu installation is running, but a number of system apps are not operational; e.g. network manager crashes if I just try to open it | 22:40 |
| vicatcu | is there any way to "repair" my ubuntu installation? | 22:41 |
| vicatcu | this all happened in the midst of upgrading to 12.04 | 22:41 |
| vicatcu | from 11.10 | 22:41 |
| k014 | L3top: 'fixmbr' isn not recognized as an internal or external command | 22:42 |
| wilee-nilee | vicatcu, in a terminal run these two commands and se if things clear up in the download manager. sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get -f install | 22:42 |
| L3top | k014: it is a windows recovery console command | 22:42 |
| L3top | k014: you will need to boot to a windows disk | 22:42 |
| k014 | yeah i am on it | 22:42 |
| wilee-nilee | vicatcu, as one command sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install | 22:42 |
| k014 | L3top: maybe the command is: "bootrec /fixmbr" ??? | 22:43 |
| wilee-nilee | bootrec.exe /fixmbr | 22:43 |
| L3top | the command is simply fixmbr from a windows recovery console | 22:43 |
| k014 | now i am in: X:\windows\system32>_ | 22:43 |
| vicatcu | wilee-nilee: http://pastebin.com/zpDRMZ1R | 22:43 |
| wilee-nilee | that is a vista or w7 command though | 22:44 |
| L3top | follow wilee-nilee trying to put together something | 22:44 |
| vicatcu | wilee-nilee: it didn't appear to have an effect as far as I can tell from the output | 22:44 |
| k014 | yeah worked: "the operation completed succesfully" | 22:44 |
| wilee-nilee | vicatcu, Ah the partial upgrade try the update manager now but update it first. | 22:45 |
| k014 | now, to the fixboot | 22:45 |
| k014 | "BootRec.exe /fixboot" | 22:45 |
| vicatcu | wilee-nilee: update it first... ? | 22:45 |
| wilee-nilee | vicatcu, yes | 22:45 |
| vicatcu | how? | 22:45 |
| wilee-nilee | vicatcu, hit check | 22:45 |

| k014 | weid, now to reset | 22:46 |
| k014 | weird* | 22:46 |
| vicatcu | wilee-nilee: when it first comes up i get prompted, so i should not choose partial upgrade, but rather close initially? | 22:46 |
| gohdan | anyway i can limit the bandwidth used by apt when it is pulling in a pkg as not to hose other people connected to my machine? | 22:46 |
| vicatcu | wilee-nilee: then click "check" | 22:46 |

| iLogical | ? | 22:47 |
| vicatcu | wilee-nilee: it offers partial upgrade again after I do the "check" | 22:47 |

But when I run this 'echo "Testing" /media/3E18014B1801041D/Platform/code/admin_base/log/cron_log.log' it runs perfectly. I'm assuming it has to do with the 'cd' part. Any ideas? | 22:57 |
| vicatcu | wilee-nilee: I think I got it all... | 22:57 |
| johnsonchetty | wow lemme do that rite now | 22:57 |

| L3top | you can skip that iLogical | 22:59 |
| psusi | johnsonchetty, oh, yea.. take that one out too | 22:59 |
| ferhat | selam, iyi aksamlar | 22:59 |
| iLogical | OK | 22:59 |
| iLogical | time to reboot | 22:59 |
| vale_maio | hello there, i'm going to install ubuntu 12.04 on a samsung n150. does anybody here know this computer? i need help to find out which partitions are for restoring win 7 and which are the partitions with the original OS | 22:59 |
| ferhat | irssi kullanan var mı? | 22:59 |
| johnsonchetty | psusi ok.. hey just asking but i should simply press Esc for changes to reflect right?? | 23:00 |
| johnsonchetty | psusi = Nope not happening!\ | 23:01 |
| ferhat | exit | 23:01 |
| iLogical | L3top, system seems faster. I hope I don't get more black screen of death. | 23:02 |
| escott | GreekFreak, you should not put "commands" like that into cron. make a script and put the script into cron | 23:02 |
| iLogical | Thank you! | 23:02 |
| L3top | You should not iLogical... you are welcome | 23:02 |
| wilee-nilee | .vicatcu, to be honest this is a tough one for me, I always have everything backed up and the OS cloned, so I don't fear anything, lol. Sometimes the upgrade needs one of or several of the allowed upgrades to run the rest with another update and upgarde I can't really tell here | 23:02 |
| takeadare_ | Running 12.04 on my new laptop, I've been running and liking Unity on my desktop since it came out. On my laptop, most times my windows are maximized and Unity is frustrating to get it to pop out. | 23:03 |
| psusi | johnsonchetty, you press 'e' to edit the command... I think it was ctrl-x to execute, the bottom of the screen should say | 23:03 |
| GreekFreak | escott, Can you please point me in the right direction? I've been looking and trying things all day. Help isn't readily available it seems | 23:03 |
| takeadare_ | I increased the sensitivity to maximum in appearances | 23:03 |
| escott | GreekFreak, what is happening there is that cron runs the commands through execve NOT through /bin/sh. once you realize that try and figure out what the binary for "cd" is and it will all make sense | 23:04 |
| Guest98896 | I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBookPro 15" Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac-osx is on the first half of a terabyte hard drive. I have refit working but when I try to access the linux partition for install all I get is a msg "missing operating system" a blinking cursor and it goes nowhere. Can anyone tell me how to boot into the linux partition. Thank you for any suggestions. | 23:04 |
| johnsonchetty | psusi ahah my frnd.. another problem is that the bottom part of the screen somehow gets clipped, and I couldnt see those lines... but thats to deal with later.. | 23:04 |
| syed | hi guys | 23:04 |

| wilee-nilee | vicatcu, I'm noticing as well that you seem to have added some PPA repos as well. | 23:05 |
| GreekFreak | excott, I'm not a high end user in Ubuntu. What do you mean 'the binary for "cd" '? And I assumed that it all ran through /bin/sh | 23:05 |
| GreekFreak | ^ escott | 23:05 |
| Guest98896 | thank you szal, ill check this out right away | 23:05 |
| syed | need help! | 23:06 |
| szal | !sound | syed | 23:06 |

| bcuraboy | how can i add applications to start-up?? | 23:06 |
| bcuraboy | i wanna add cairo-clock to the start-up of the system | 23:06 |
| johnsonchetty | psusi: No sir, its just showing a dark purple bg screen... and nothing else.. :( | 23:06 |
| escott | GreekFreak, and that assumption is wrong. compare "which cd" with "which echo" | 23:06 |
| syed | I have gone into alasmaster :/ from command line and was told to mute and undo mute from all... which i did and to increase volume that is all done | 23:07 |
| syed | but still cant sort it out :/ | 23:07 |
| syed | i have posted a post in hardware issues laptops in the forum with a system report | 23:07 |
| GreekFreak | escott, 'which cd' gives nothing, and 'which echo' gives '/bin/echo' | 23:07 |
| GreekFreak | escott, Am I even in the right direction? | 23:08 |
| johnsonchetty | psusi No sir, its just showing a dark purple bg screen... and nothing else.. | 23:08 |
| escott | GreekFreak, because "cd" is a shell builtin. when cron execve's your line what shell is it running under? (ANS it isn't running under a shell -- so there IS not cd) | 23:08 |
| johnsonchetty | hey you guys any buddy here having boot string conf problem?????? my normal boot work :/ | 23:10 |
| Sidney__ | where is the comprehensive guide to networking two computers? | 23:10 |
| GreekFreak | escott, OH! That makes so much sense. Which is why only full paths worked. So how do I get around that? | 23:10 |
| escott | GreekFreak, put the commands in a script file (begins with #!/bin/bash and chmod +x the file) -- you should be doing this anyways | 23:11 |
| escott | Sidney__, comprehensive how? do you mean !ics | 23:12 |
| bcuraboy | how can i add applications to start-up?? | 23:13 |

| gohdan | syed: try muting and unmuting via the GUI after you crank the levels up in alsamixer | 23:14 |
| mkanyicy | bcuraboy, next to your username there is the gear icon on top right, click on it and then select 'Startup Applications' | 23:14 |
| GreekFreak | escott, when I used a gem to do this for me, it would output something like "55 22 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'echo testing >> /log/cron_log.log'" Would the /bin/bash part not do what you're telling me? (And yes, I know it's still not working but I'm trying to wrap my head around it) | 23:15 |
| bcuraboy | mkanyicy, but i need the command line | 23:15 |
| mkanyicy | bcuraboy, why do you need commandline? | 23:15 |
| Sidney__ | escott, no I just need a wiki or man page or what ever is needed to correctly configure my network | 23:15 |
| GreekFreak | ^ escott, sorry, to clarify, the gem creates the crontab file from which it runs the crons | 23:15 |
| bcuraboy | because to add the command to start the applications | 23:15 |
| bcuraboy | in this case,cairo-clock | 23:16 |
| gohdan | syed: there is some sort of disconnect somewhere between alsa and what the default volume control programs agree on. | 23:16 |
| escott | GreekFreak, the bin bash is specifying the shell to execute under so its getting around that issue of not having a shell by explicitly specifying the shell | 23:16 |
| mkanyicy | bcuraboy, so why do you think you cant add cairo clock there? | 23:16 |
| bcuraboy | bacause it doesn't load at startup of the system | 23:17 |
| escott | Sidney__, configure your network to do what? PTP connection between two manchines? connection sharing from one machine to another? DHCP or static? ... | 23:17 |

| OerHeks | gohdan "alsamixer' should be available standard | 23:18 |
| OerHeks | in terminal | 23:18 |
| tomatto_ | why what i compile in gentoo can't be run in ubuntu? | 23:18 |
| gohdan | OerHeks: alsamixer tells lies | 23:18 |
| L3top | tomatto_: because you do not have the prerequisite libraries? | 23:19 |
| Rud_ | tomatto_: different libraries? | 23:19 |
| gohdan | syed: try the mute/unmute this first though | 23:19 |
| tomatto_ | it isn't start anyway | 23:19 |
| syed | humm did that | 23:19 |
| syed | nothing is happening | 23:19 |
| syed | Uploaded my Alsa script report :/ http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5f...e6f1931ce0826f | 23:20 |
| gohdan | dont mute form alsa | 23:20 |
| L3top | tomatto_: well then... clearly it is the fault of the OS for not having gentoo libraries... | 23:20 |
| syed | not sure if that is of any help | 23:20 |
| mkanyicy | bcuraboy, then create a service script and put it on /etc/init.d folder and read manuals: man init, man service, man runlevel | 23:20 |
| L3top | tomatto_: that was snotty, I apologize | 23:20 |
| OccupyDemonoid | Hello, is there a way to use ssh like remote desktop and show the desktop via it? Well, sorta like how remote desktop is. | 23:20 |
| mkanyicy | bcuraboy, just check one service that works there and mimic it | 23:20 |
| syed | please do appologise, i am very green at linux - was using windows till 3 weeks back, and havent had much time to play yet | 23:21 |
| escott | OccupyDemonoid, ssh -X user@host and just start your gui applications | 23:21 |
| L3top | tomatto_: what are you trying to compile? | 23:21 |
| OccupyDemonoid | Thank you, escott. :) | 23:21 |
| L3top | OccupyDemonoid: it will not be fast at all... but it does get the job done | 23:22 |
| tomatto_ | L3top: libraries should be the same...my own program in qt | 23:22 |
| L3top | OccupyDemonoid: i wouldn't try and watch a video or anything. | 23:22 |
| OccupyDemonoid | L3top, that is perfectly fine. I am just doing it within a local network. | 23:22 |
| L3top | tomatto_: post the errors, what version of qt? | 23:22 |
| L3top | OccupyDemonoid: doesn't really matter | 23:23 |
| tomatto_ | L3top: 4.8.1 qt static. when i type ldd myapp it returns: not a dynamic executable | 23:23 |

| mkanyicy | HaPK_PerCar, try 'recordmydesktop' | 23:25 |

| L3top | I am sorry tomatto_ I want to help you but I have to go. If you are on later we can go through it, or you can try #qt | 23:26 |
| HaPK_PerCar | mkanyicy, I know of recordmydesktop, but how do I record what's going trough the soundcard (speakers, mic, line in, etc)? | 23:26 |
| syed | gohdan: installed gnome-alsamixer | 23:27 |
| escott | Sidney__, you need to be *much* more specific about what *exactly* you are trying to do | 23:27 |
| syed | but it seems the problem hasnt resolved yet :/ not sure i have got a feeling the soundcard being detected by the gnome-alsamixer is not the right one? :/ | 23:28 |
| ZaNeIuM | how to i make a file that has command prompts like windows bat files in ubuntu? | 23:28 |
| syed | ? | 23:28 |
| GreekFreak | escott, I'm trying various things (haven't gotten to the script yet, as I'm trying to make it work with the gem I'm using for Rails). Why would doing /bin/bash -l -c cd /media/.../mydir not work? | 23:28 |
| Sidney__ | I need to see the hard drives between the two machines | 23:28 |
| escott | ZaNeIuM, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/226703/how-do-i-prompt-for-input-in-a-linux-shell-script | 23:29 |
| escott | GreekFreak, is the "cd /.../" part in quotes? | 23:29 |
| mkanyicy | GreekFreak, what do you want to achieve? | 23:29 |
| GreekFreak | escott, I'll try it again now and see. | 23:30 |
| escott | Sidney__, "see the harddrive" do you mean you just want to share the files in the same way you might in windows through the "network neighborhood" | 23:30 |
| GreekFreak | mkanyicy, I want to clean up some records in my database every night, and I want to do it by calling a method in a Model. | 23:30 |
| gohdan | do you get ANY output if you run 'speaker-test'?? | 23:31 |
| gohdan | syed: ^^ | 23:31 |
| mkanyicy | GreekFreak, sounds like object orientation stuff | 23:32 |
| syed | hummm speak-test is that a seperate app or do you mean the test within the gui sound mixer | 23:32 |
| gohdan | its a command that generates white noise | 23:32 |
| syed | non within sound setting sound test | 23:32 |
| syed | but works fine with headphones plugged in | 23:32 |
| GreekFreak | escott, this is what it outputs : 30 1 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /media/3E18014B1801041D/Platform/code/admin_base && echo '\''starting again'\'' >> /log/cron_log.log' | 23:32 |
| GreekFreak | mkanyicy, it is | 23:33 |
| ZaNeIuM | escott: huh | 23:33 |
| escott | GreekFreak, the first ' is closed by the ' prior to the \' after the echo. i dont think you want that | 23:33 |
| vacho | where can I find a free SSL certificate? | 23:33 |
| escott | vacho, you can sign your own | 23:34 |
| vacho | escott: does that mean they will get a popup everytime they come to my site? | 23:34 |
| gohdan | vacho: sign your own. or try startcom | 23:34 |
| vacho | . | 23:35 |
| mkanyicy | GreekFreak, you can use double quotes for the echo and quotes for the entire bash commandlines | 23:35 |
| Sidney__ | escott yes one machine is ubuntu the other is Debian and I want to configure these machines to share files | 23:35 |
| GreekFreak | escott, is this better : 30 1 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /media/3E18014B1801041D/Platform/code/admin_base && echo starting again >> /log/cron_log.log' | 23:35 |
| gohdan | vacho: EFF uses them (startcom) | 23:35 |
| === dudu is now known as duduklein | ||
| mkanyicy | GreekFreak, s/and quotes/and single quotes/ | 23:36 |
| vacho | what is eff? | 23:36 |
| escott | Sidney__, the unix'y way to share files from linux to linux is either through ssh/scp/sshfs or through nfs. alternately you could install samba and use that | 23:36 |
| GreekFreak | mkanyicy, I'm trying to get it to work with this gem they recommend. If it fails I'll hack it with the quotes as you suggested | 23:36 |
| mkanyicy | GreekFreak, is gem a ruby thing? | 23:37 |
| escott | GreekFreak, I would strongly suggest just putting these commands into a separate file and then running that file from cron | 23:37 |
| GreekFreak | mkanyicy, sorry, bad habit. yes | 23:37 |
| gohdan | vacho: Electronic Frontier Foundation | 23:37 |
| mkanyicy | GreekFreak, i support what escott is recommending you do | 23:37 |
| Sidney__ | ssh | 23:37 |
| GreekFreak | escott, ok. I'll do it that way. That would mean I'd have to put something like | 23:38 |
| syed | is it possible to change displayed soundcard on genom alsamixer - from SigmaTel CXD9872AKD to intel HD? | 23:38 |
| GreekFreak | escott, ^ #!/bin/bash at the top of the file | 23:38 |
| escott | GreekFreak, yes. put the /bin/bash shebang, mark it executable, and the body of the script can just be normal bash commands | 23:38 |
| mkanyicy | GreekFreak, ya, but no caret | 23:38 |
| syed | or am I completely of the track and is sigmatel actually right :/ not sure here | 23:39 |
| escott | mkanyicy, he means the caret as the beginning of line marker | 23:39 |
| rebe | can I change device name ? | 23:39 |
| GreekFreak | escott, mkanyicy, thank you. I'll give it a try now | 23:40 |
| mkanyicy | escott, ok | 23:40 |

| Sidney__ | escott, I'm using nfs now I'll look at the differences | 23:42 |
| rebe | because name is too long, and takes too much space in terminal | 23:42 |
| escott | rebe, you could add a udev rule to create a new symlink to the device | 23:43 |
| Ztane | rebe: you mean host name right? | 23:43 |
| rebe | name@thisnameistoolong: ~ | 23:44 |

| bandit5432 | i keep joining here and spending time helping instead of getting help | 23:46 |

| mkanyicy | why do you want to do that, rebe? | 23:47 |
| bandit5432 | L3top, bug was supposed to be fixed upstream still is bugging out | 23:47 |
| Ztane | mkanyicy: bc the current name is too long | 23:47 |
| Ztane | :D | 23:47 |
| rebe | what is the difference why I just do :) | 23:47 |
| rebe | its too long | 23:48 |
| Ztane | rebe: sudo nano /etc/hostname | 23:48 |
| mkanyicy | rebe: where is it too long? | 23:48 |
| Ztane | and sudo nano /etc/hosts | 23:48 |
| GreekFreak | escott, mkanyicy, would I be looking at something like this? | 23:48 |
| GreekFreak | ^ https://gist.github.com/2765451 | 23:48 |
| rebe | mkanyicy: in termina | 23:48 |
| mkanyicy | rebe: you can just change the PS1 environment variable in .bashrc | 23:49 |
| Ztane | rebe: and finally sudo hostname -b -F /etc/hostname | 23:49 |
| Rob_s820 | Could someone let me know if this is the correct channel for 12.04 ubuntu support? | 23:49 |
| escott | GreekFreak, sure. the only distinction is that the echo command runs even if the cd fails. if you want that behavior you have to have the && | 23:49 |
| bandit5432 | Rob_s820, it is | 23:49 |
| lledet | anyone else have problems with postfix after upgrading to 12.04? | 23:49 |
| L3top | that does not change the procedure one bit bandit5432 | 23:49 |

| bandit5432 | L3top, thanks so there is no dev channel? | 23:50 |
| escott | GreekFreak, alternately you can set -e the script (at the top) and it will fail at the first error | 23:50 |
| mkanyicy | rebe: you can just remove the ] | 23:50 |
| L3top | there is indeed a dev channel... they do dev work there... they do not take bug reports bandit5432 | 23:50 |
| mkanyicy | rebe: the \h which is for the hostname and put a pseudo hostname of your choice there | 23:50 |
| GreekFreak | escott, do you mean ' #!/bin/bash -e ' (or the -e on the line below?) | 23:51 |
| Rob_s820 | I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and my Wi-Fi does not work properly. Does anyone know of a solution? | 23:51 |
| Ztane | Rob_s820: which adapter? | 23:51 |
| escott | GreekFreak, /bin/bash -e is the same as /bin/bash followed by set -e | 23:51 |
| Ztane | Rob_s820: which brand | 23:51 |
| L3top | bandit5432: it is ubuntu-devel I believe. | 23:51 |
| Rob_s820 | Ztane: It is a Linksys Cisco | 23:52 |
| escott | GreekFreak, so if you set -e (or /bin/bash -e) you can then have all the commands you want and it is as if you had && between each and every one | 23:52 |
| bandit5432 | L3top, all good i will post on some of the marked as fiex bugs on launchpad | 23:52 |

| GreekFreak | escott, that's exactly what I want. Do I drop the '#!' part or did you leave it out for convenience? | 23:53 |
| Ztane | Rob_s820: then I have no idea :( | 23:53 |
| rebe | thanks guys I'll try that out now | 23:53 |
| Ztane | GreekFreak: keep the #! there | 23:53 |
| GreekFreak | Ztane, thanks | 23:54 |
| escott | GreekFreak, you must have the #! its a special code that tells the kernel to prepend the rest of the line to the execve call. If a file begins with #!/some/binary the saying ./filename is the same as exec("/some/binary ./filename") | 23:54 |
| Rob_s820 | Anyone else have an idea? My Wi-Fi works perfectly fine in my Windows 7 install. | 23:54 |
| GreekFreak | escott, thank you. | 23:54 |
| Ztane | Rob_s820: you need more specific info, try running lspci in terminal | 23:56 |
| Ztane | *we need :D | 23:56 |
| Rob_s820 | Ztane: Many things came up. Which one do you need? | 23:58 |
| jiffe98 | is there a way to get a very minimal install of ubuntu server? I'm going to run it out of ram and I'd like to get down to 500mb if possible | 23:59 |
| escott | !minimal | jiffe98 | 23:59 |
| ubottu | jiffe98: 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 | 23:59 |
