MestreLiona server using wireless connection? weird setup...00:00
greenwolfvmware00:00
greenwolfvrtual00:00
greenwolfbut even when i installed the os on my laptop fully it does not pick up the card for some reason00:00
aLLStaR [ U y a r ý ]  :  greenwolf  : Lütfen Seviyeyi Düþürmeyiniz Aksi Taktirde Kanaldan Uzaklaþtýrýlýcaksýnýz !.iyi sohbetler dilerim...00:00
MestreLiongreenwolf:  wait... is ubuntu server being run as a client os? and which os is the host?00:01
greenwolfbut shouldnt ubuntu already have these older drivers inside the OS00:02
greenwolfi mean these are very known wireless cards and drivers why wouldnt it have picked it up in the install00:02
MestreLiongreenwolf: if ubuntu is a *client* OS, then the actual hardware wireless card is irrelevant... ubuntu will only pick whatever vmware exposes to ti00:03
OerHeksgreenwolf, wireless driver is odd in a VM, use the wired lan connection, this one will be translated to your wifi connection00:04

MestreLionthat is, *if* vmware is exposing any network interface at all00:04
L3topaLLStaR: STOP THAT00:04

vik_loso 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 wlan00:06
aLLStaRok00:06
aLLStaRI m sorry guys00:06
L3topThat is a problem with your phone vik_lo.00:06
MestreLiongreenwolf: 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 himself00:07
MestreLiontrollers should be either ignored or kicked/baned00:07
L3topAnd jumping into channel asking for help 3 times faster than I could start offering it...00:07
vik_loi 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 setting00:07
L3topvik_lo: can you connect your phone to another wlan to see?00:08
MestreLiongreenwolf: so you're the one that needs to grow up00:08
vik_loyes and it works00:08
IdleOne!appeals > greenwolf00:08
ubottugreenwolf, please see my private message00:08
vik_loalso 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 work00:09
oconnoreis there a program that will sync music to my android phone? Rhythmbox crashes immediately.00:09
L3topvik_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 reason00:09
vik_losee00:10
vik_lothe reason i am baffled to death here l3top :)00:10
MestreLionI'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
terafl0psvik_lo: Have you tried capturing the packets on the wireless interface of your Ubuntu server while the phone tries to connect?00:11
vik_lonow 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 modem00:13
vik_loi 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 hotspot00:14
vik_loit starts working00:14
bananapieI want to encrypt my home directory, but ubuntu is already installed. is it too late ?00:15
Nogalis there a way to check a burned iso of 12.04 before attempting an install on another machine? like a checksum?00:15
terafl0psAh.  It might be interesting to capture between the hotspot and the DHCP server while looking at the dhcp daemon's logs.00:15
agarwoodHello, "boot.img.gz" is different for all distros ? Thank00:16
L3topyes Nogal md5sum00:16

agarwoodexample, this one is working for xubuntu ? : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/00:17

NogalI know the ISO is good00:17
* Foxboron waves00:18
vik_loterafl0ps 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
agarwoodNogal, but it's for Ubuntu, no for Xubuntu ?00:18
FoxboronSo, 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

agarwoodNogal do you know where i can find it for xubuntu ?00:21
aartistI 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
FoxboronIdleOne, i was going to as it was rather little response here :P00:22
Nogalagarwood: can you be more specific, I think i missed your initial question.00:22
LordOfTimeagarwood:  what're you looking for...?00:22
Dougie187Has anyone ever had an issue where only one output audio stream could be working at a time?00:22
IdleOneFoxboron: seeing how your question has nothing to do with ubuntu it is not surprising00:22
IdleOnegreenwolf: you there?00:23
FoxboronIdleOne, was thinking someone might have tried to get it on Ubuntu before me :P00:23
agarwoodI search  "boot.img.gz"  for Xubuntu...00:23
SJrIm trying to mount a partiton specfied within a dd image, but I cant seem to calculate the offset correctly. fdisk says it starts at offset 2048, but when I use 2048*512, I cant mount it00:24
L3topagarwood: what is it you are trying to do? These sort of ambiguous questions are unclear.00:24
Nogalagarwood, if i'm understanding you correctly you are looking to make an installation disk of xubuntu?00:24
agarwoodI want install Xubuntu with boot Usb00:25

MestreLionso no one has never experienced launcher losing control of windows after unpinning a given application?00:29
Random832MestreLion: what, on unity?00:29
MestreLionyes Random83200:29
Random832i've noticed other launcher bugs, not that one in particular00:29
MestreLionit happens with me only with Aisleriot00:29
Random832the launcher is buggy in  general i think00:29
Random832this was in 11.1000:29
Nogalterafl0ps: i just ran md5sum /dev/cdrom, should the md5sum should be the same as the .iso?00:30
Random832I can't really recommend anyting except stop using unity00:30
MestreLionyes, many glitches... but this one is quite annoying.. and reproductible. Care for testing?00:30
agarwoodthank you nogal00:30
L3topyes Nogal, or better yet the md5sum of the image at dl source00:31
MestreLionRandom832: 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, anymore00:31
Nogalwell crap.00:31
aaawhen my wine app (diablo 2 and world of warcraft) loses focus (alt+tab, ubuntu update pops up, sometimes the screensaver), it mostly gets stuck and i can't even get back to it to exit properly. what can i do to resume them? until now i did xkill or even hard-reset. (using ubuntu 12.04)00:31

aaathanks, <MestreLion>00:36
Nogalok so http://paste.ubuntu.com/998280/ this is all i should really need to run?00:36

alusionI like the sounds of that.00:56
xanguatbrown_2012: by loading games you mean games installed in another windows partition¿00:57

oscarjoin #git01:17
MestreLionwhy oscar ?01:18
=== Salash is now known as Mackenzie
chuMestreLion: He probably missed the /01:18
MestreLionaguitel: I don't think Rage 128 is supported by the proprietary drivers01:18
c0ldz3r0OerHeks: 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 app01:18
OerHekshe forgets the /01:18
aguitelMestreLion, can i try it ?01:19
MestreLionc0ldz3r0: ssh-copy-id <user@server>01:19
MestreLionaguitel: you will have better chances with the free, open driver01:19
ghostconnanyone know of a coverflow plugin for rhythmbox?01:20
aguitelMestreLion, what driver01:20
MestreLionaguitel: the proprietary ones are for HD 4xxx series onwards only01:20
catlover2Hello, I have a quick question about hardlinks.01:20
vexaxvhey 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 program01:20
c0ldz3r0MestreLion: tried this too but when i get ssh <user@server> it prompt me for pass01:20
aguitelMestreLion, how install free driver for this card01:20
imnicholvexaxv, what are you unclear about?  What's your question?01:20
catlover2If I made a hardlink of a file, will removing the hardlink also remove the file that it points to?01:21
Dr_Willisc0ldz3r0:  the server may not be set to accept keys instead of a login.01:21
korn788hello 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 windows01:21
vexaxvimnichol, 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 unity01:21
MestreLionc0ldz3r0:  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
imnicholvexaxv, that works for me already01:21
Dr_Williscatlover2:  IF its the last hardlink to the file. a hardlink basically is a 2nd name to a file.01:21
vexaxvimnichol, what works for u01:21
MestreLionaguitel: it is installed by default when you install ubuntu01:21
imnicholvexaxv, you might have to associate openjdk with .jar files though.  Is your problem that the file is opening with the archive manager?01:22
imnicholvexaxv, I doubleclick the minecraft .jar and it runs it with jdk01:22
vexaxvimnichol, no..i get an error01:22
imnicholWhat's the error?01:22
vexaxvimnichol, yeah if you have openjdk6 not 701:22
catlover2Dr_Willis: So I can delete the hardlink without removing the file that it points to, right?01:23
MestreLionkorn788: sure, that is a very common set up. actually, ubuntu's install option "Install alongside with other OSes" already does that for you01:23
DarwinSurvivorc0ldz3r0: are you using any sort of hard drive, partition or home-folder encryption on the machine you are connecting to?01:23
xangua!dualboot | korn78801:23
imnicholvexaxv, you're right, I have openjdk6.01:23
ubottukorn788: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot01:23
vexaxvimnichol, 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
korn788ok because i have ubuntu install on one pc but its only ubuntu01:23
c0ldz3r0DarwinSurvivor: no encryption i read that this gives error01:23
MestreLioncatlover2: a hardlink does not point to a file. a hardlink IS a file :)01:23
vexaxvimnichol, if u run LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64 then run minecraft it works on openjdk 701:24
DarwinSurvivorc0ldz3r0: 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
imnicholOh ok vexaxv01:24
aguitelMestreLion, anything else can i do ?01:24
korn788cool cool thanks for the help01:24
MestreLionaguitel: did the built-in drver didn't work?01:25
aguitelMestreLion, poor perfomance01:25
vexaxvanyone know how to make a .desktop file run the executable AND  a pre written code for example "blah blah" / java -jar minecraft.jar01:25
MestreLionaguitel: it is a 10-yr-old card trying to run a modern 3D desktop... it can't perform well01:26
goddardmy usb 3.0 slot doesn't work.. how can i debug?01:26
aguitelMestreLion, yes i know01:26
DarwinSurvivorcatlover2: 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
MestreLionaguitel: but you buy an HD 54xx for like 20 bucks ;)01:26
scar3crowhelp, I formatted a partition without backing up my data (by accident) can I get my data back? it was for work!01:27
MestreLionscar3crow: ext4?01:27
scar3crowyes01:27
aguitelMestreLion, in this pc i have not slot free ,not agp ,not pcie01:27
MestreLionscar3crow: format or just deleted the partition?01:27
scar3crowformat01:28
MestreLionscar3crow: sit and cry :)01:28
xangua!recover | MestreLion01:28
ubottuMestreLion: 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/ext3undel01:28
OerHekstestdisk could help01:28
xanguascar3crow see above01:28
c0ldz3r0MestreLion: on sshd_config: PasswordAuthentication YES is his01:28
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: do you have another drive with at least as much empty space on it as the entire size of the affected drive?01:29
LinuX2halfThere's a restart/shutdown button missing from the right top panel01:29
MestreLionyeah, testdisk may help... but from a deleted ntfs partition, not a formated ext4 one... I woul'nt have my hopes high01:29
LinuX2halfI've upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 and it removed the shutdown button somehow01:29
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: ext3/4 files that have been *deleted* are really hard to recover, but undoing a "format" is actually easier :P01:29
LinuX2halfOnly when after I logout, there's a button to shutdown but it never works.01:29
scar3crowDarwinSurvivor: please help, I deleted /var/www/01:30
xanguaLinuX2half: tried to reset unity¿ http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html01:30
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: deleted or formatted?01:30
scar3crowformatted, sorry01:30
MestreLionaguitel: try 10.04 lucid... it's a great OS, and does not require 3D01:30
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: was it on its own partition?01:30
scar3crowyes01:31
aguitelMestreLion, i am in lucid01:31
Guest67867I'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
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: and what did you do to format it *exactly*?01:31
MestreLionaguitel: stay with it... and avoid compiz ;)01:31
celthunderscar3crow: 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 chances01:31
scar3crowreinstall 12.04... checked the format box for my / partition01:31
MestreLionscar3crow: and how far in the install it went?01:32
scar3crowall the way01:32
MestreLionwell, try testdisk.. it is really an awesome software, that saved me more than once01:32
Guest67867doesn't go seem as if they are not connected the partition and the disk image01:33
scar3crowwill try01:33
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: do you have another partition or harddrive with at least as much empty space as the size of your /var/www partition?01:33
MestreLionbut in your case... honestly.. consider it lost01:33
scar3crowDarwinSurvivor: yes01:33
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: 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 well01:33
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: do you know how to back up a partition?01:33
scar3crowno01:33
MestreLioni mean... partition was formated... and then a full OS install wrote to it... I wouldn't have hopes of recovering...01:33
scar3crowyeah I figured01:34
scar3crowcrap01:34
MestreLionscar3crow: but... wait01:34
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: 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
MestreLionyou're interested in /home only, correct?01:34
DarwinSurvivorMestreLion: the /var/www partition was the only one affected, ubuntu probably didn't install much into that folder01:35
MestreLionoh, /var/www ? hum, true01:35
scar3crowthats what I was thinking DarwinSurvivor01:35
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: how big is the partition?01:35
scar3crow100gb01:35
celthunderMestreLion: 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 losing01:35
MestreLionscar3crow: for backup, you can even use gparted to clone a partition01:36
LinuX2halfxangua: it doesn't seem to be working, the terminal began to hang after the screen resets.01:36
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: ok, backing that partition up onto another partition will probably take a little while (probably just over an hour).01:36
scar3crowok01:36
scar3crowtell me how01:36
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: actually, probably 2 hours if their both on the same hdd (reading/writing simultaneously and all that)01:36
celthunderscar3crow: dd01:36
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow:"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
replsosIt's more on the "secret weapon" side of Paul Graham's programming language taxonomy01:37
scar3crowok ty01:37
MestreLionscar3crow: 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 works01:37
scar3crowyou guys rock!01:37
bandit5432cough ddrescue cough01:37
MestreLionand, regardless of the result01:37
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: 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

MestreLioncheck my answer... it shows how to use DD for a partition/hdd clone.. and it also covers how to get a "progress status" with it01:41
tbrown_2012celthunder: How can I fix the bug in 12.0401:41
MestreLionif you enjoy, I would be glad if you upvoted my answer01:41
LinuX2halfIt's not getting better01:41
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: oh, make sure you unmount the partition!!!01:41
LinuX2halfNot 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
DarwinSurvivorscar3crow: and comment it out of fstab so it doesn't get remounted. each time it gets mounted you risk losing data!01:42

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.

Is there anyway to automatically give the Other group RW permissions for newly created and moved files to the drive?02:14

donj_What ACLS and Umask are. And how going to the samba channel will remedy a problem thats unrelated to the network permissions02:18

w32stuxnetdespite it having worked a couple of days ago02:19
w32stuxnetIt is running in virtualbox and the device is activated under the "devices" menu02:19
donj_os permissions not network*02:20
jribdonj_: « 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 have02:20
jribto go there if you're sure you don't want some sort of samba-related solution02:20

Janoshey 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 something04:07
MneumonicIt used to minimize to the top panel but doesn't anymore04:07

JanosDr_Willis, tried that, removed .dmrc from home, restarted but still got logged to unity and the .dmrc file got recreated with Session=ubuntu on it04:12
Dr_WillisMneumonic:  as a way out there test. try a dock like awn, and see if  the icon shows/min/returns with it.04:13
Dr_WillisJanos:  try changeint Session=xbmc  perhaps? ive  not tried the xbmc session here. but i do see it in lightdm04:13
Dr_Willisit could be xbmc's session is just broken.04:14
JanosDr_Willis, already trying that, let´s see04:14
* tMH is gone. nsf04:14
Dr_Willisi normally make my own xbmc setup that runs  openbox+xbmc04:14
JanosDr_Willis, if y log in manually i does work, so i don´t think so04:14
ronny_But you believe that i can save my hard disk with bad blocks??04:15
Dr_Willisronny_:  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 backups04:15
Mneumonicyay installed a third time and it works now, icon on the top panel04:15

Janosohh 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=ubuntu04:16
JanosL3top, kk let me check04:16
L3topJanos: you can either put your desired dm in there, or just /bin/false  and your other config will takeover prob.04:17
Dr_Willisi tend to login to unity, and run xbmc on my 2nd monitor. ;004:17
Dr_Willisyou are wanting to powerup and autologin to the xbmc desktop?04:18
JanosL3top, 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 default04:18

c_nickDarwinSurvivor: its my apache2 server.. i copy the files in a new folder under /var/www06:04
DarwinSurvivorc_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
KrizOneleto_, key's06:05
DarwinSurvivorc_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 server06:05
leto_for that account06:05
leto_once that's done, you can sftp in06:05
c_nickintranet06:05
c_nickDarwinSurvivor: Intranet06:06
e8johanI 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
KrizOneleto_, so i upload the .pem as the user i want to be, which dir does it go in?06:06
e8johanmy google-fu is too bad to find any bug for this... so I just wonder if anyone else has seen it06:06
leto_krizone, ~/.ssh06:06
e8johanthe ext mon is a Cinemadisplay...06:07
DarwinSurvivorc_nick: I have a similar setup at home (large speakers connected to headless system). I use mpd for my music system.06:07
KrizOnedanke06:07
BlackWebHow 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 LAN06:07
c_nickDarwin but how to stream ? Forget the speakers and all06:07
DarwinSurvivorc_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 wish06:08
c_nickDarwinSurvivor: meaning when i click on the song.. it should open in VLC Player.. and not download as normal file06:08
DarwinSurvivorc_nick: oh, you want to stream FROM the server!06:08
leto_krizone, upload as ~/.ssh/authorized_keys06:08
c_nickDarwinSurvivor: Yes06:08
KrizOneleto_, ok cool06:08
DarwinSurvivorc_nick: you said you wanted to play them on the webserver, completely different06:08
DarwinSurvivorc_nick: you could always set up a shared folder and then connect to that instead of apache06:09
c_nickDarwinSurvivor: 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 itself06:09
KrizOneleto_, do i need to restart ssh? its not working atm :S06:10
DarwinSurvivorc_nick: then that's not "intranet-only", that is "internet-wide"!06:10
leto_krizone, no, restart is not necessary06:11
miss_ubuntu_hey u can try first creating webserver on ur laptop , integrate a music player , check http://listen2myradio.com/06:11

miss_ubuntu_hey u can try first creating webserver on ur laptop , integrate a music player , check http://listen2myradio.com/ c_nick06:11

KrizOneleto_, http://pastebin.com/jMWqFU7Q06:13

KrizOneoh XD06:15
ImperialDroidlol06:15

c_nickDarwinSurvivor: nope want to stream :)06:16
c_nickbetter User Experience ;)06:16
leto_krizone, ya keep copy of your key before doing anything :006:16
DarwinSurvivorc_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 it06:16
KrizOneleto_, there is no key user at the moment06:16
KrizOnei am just su'ingto it06:17
DarwinSurvivorc_nick: how is that a better user experience (having to open a web browser to play music)?!?06:17
KrizOnekey for the user*06:17
leto_i mean the public key for your local machine06:17
c_nickDarwinSurvivor: i prefered it that way06:17
c_nickDarwinSurvivor: its actually a requirement not a preference06:17
KrizOneleto_, my local box is a windows 7 box lol, can putty gen help me with this?06:17
DarwinSurvivorc_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 collection06:17
miss_ubuntu_c_nick did u try :  Apache server, you can add the following line to your httpd.conf file:AddType audio/x-mp3 .mp306:18
leto_krizone, oh windows 7, im not very experienced with putty sry06:19

abhinavmehtaI'm trying to use dual-monitor setup on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, using Nvidia GForce 9600GT...but not able to do so..07:49
saryjagginess: right .07:49
abhinavmehtaIn 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
abhinavmehtaanyone 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-gui07:53
saryc0rnel: so , what is the situation , are you stuck somewhere on the boot process , or in an upgrade attempt ..07:53
abhinavmehtafidel_, but I'm not able to see that in nv-config-gui07:54
abhinavmehtafidel_, infact, I'm not able to open nv-config-gui in Alt+F207:54
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 offering07:55
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 setup07:56
fidel_but i am using the driver from nv direct as well - which makes the setup pretty special i assume07:57
syn-ackfidel_, sounds like you07:59
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 hehe08:01
syn-ackOh shoot. I didn't notice he left so I made a moafu's. :p08:01
syn-ackI assumed. :P08:01
fidel_there he is again08:01
c0rnelsary, the system was no longer booting. i did this: touch /forcefsck and much to my surprise, that fixed it08:02
abhinavmehtafidel_, 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-ackWhat'08:04
syn-ackdang it08:04
syn-ackWhat's the difference between the nv-direct and others?08:04
c0rnelhow can i verify the integrity of the installed packages?08:04
c0rneli'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 apt08:04
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 again08:05
abhinavmehtafidel_: ok, so switching to kdm is the only best option ?08:06
auronandaceabhinavmehta: whats wrong with lightdm?08:06
abhinavmehtaauronandace: getting problem with setting up dual-monitors.08:07
abhinavmehtaauronandace: and while talking with fidel_ it seems like kdm is option to fix dual-monitor issue.08:07
auronandaceabhinavmehta: odd, the display manager should make a difference08:08
auronandaceshouldn't08:08
abhinavmehtaauronandace, in display manager I can't see my second monitor.08:08
auronandaceabhinavmehta: log in08:08
auronandaceabhinavmehta: as far as i know you aren't meant to see it08:09
syn-ackNah, I've got both mine.08:09
abhinavmehtaauronandace: (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-ackMy secondary just mirrors though till I log in08:09
auronandaceabhinavmehta: ah, so your not seeing both even when logged in08:10
abhinavmehtaauronandace, hmm08:10
branantabhinavmehta: Did you install the proprietary nVidia driver?08:10
krababbelabhinavmehta: that should be a problem with lightdm?08:10
krababbelnot08:10
abhinavmehtabranant, yes..I've actiavte nvidia drivers.08:10
abhinavmehtakrababbel: than what else could be the problem...things were running fine in 10.04LTs08:11
branantabhinavmehta: Then use the nVidia tool to configure the screens insetad of the built in Display08:11
auronandaceabhinavmehta: changing to kdm won't fix it08:12
saryc0rnel: aha , you did a file system check , nice thinkin .08:12
krababbelabhinavmehta: did you try the mentioned nvidia configuration tool? they have their own method for dual monitor setup i think08:12

abhinavmehtaoh..got it. :) Now I understood what you guys trying to tell me.08:13
auronandaceangel282: you can check to see if the settings will prompt you regarding lts releases08:13
saryc0rnel:  i think you could do so with debsums http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/debsums.1.html08:13
DJonesangel282: 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 down08:14
abhinavmehtathank you auronandace, fidel_, krababbel, branant :)08:14
branantabhinavmehta: yes, look for the nvidia configuration utility in applications and just arrange the screens how you like it there08:14

DJonesangel282: 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 201208:26

exaltsary: mind that its written before ubuntu 12.0408:32
saryexalt: right .08:33
Hanansyn-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 -L08:33
angel282Jordan_U: I think it using some virtualization service named "Xen"08:35
Jordan_Uangel282: 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
exaltsary: i think the problem is dat the ubuntu installer tries to install an uefi grub but fails somewhere, and therefore the tutorial UEFIBooting reacts differently08:36
h_vAnyone 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
angel282Jordan_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_Uangel282: It's possible. What was the exact message?08:37
saryexalt: 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-ackHanan, gufw is simply a front end to ufw, which in and of it's self is a frontend to iptables.08:39
bohemian9485h_v: no08:39
h_vbohemian9485: hmmm surely it's just a permission error or something somewhere but nothing obvious that I can find.08:40
Jordan_Uangel282: It looks like iweb has a live chat support on their website. Have you tried that yet?08:40
saryexalt: on a desktop or a laptop , and what make and model , if known.08:40
angel282Jordan_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
bohemian9485h_v: seems like it, the error occured while I was setting permission for wireshark08:41

nina666sary thanks.09:46
Guest36830can anyone help me??? Or is that a question for gnome not ubuntu?09:47

rhorstkoetterserver installs an optimized kernel? optimized for what?09:48
rhorstkoetterjeos installs a kernel optimized for a linux guest vm > not what I need09:48
Guest36830i am trying to unistall apps like evolution and when i do so gnome crashes cause it dependent on it same with some games09:49
rhorstkoetterubuntu minimal (from alternate install) leads to ubuntu desktop without desktop so to speak09:49
rhorstkoetterand last but not least there is mini.iso that seems to be desktop iso grabbing packages online09:49

pfifoI notice my programs start a little slower on 12.04 than on 10.04, im using disk encryption, with ext2 file system.09:49
Guest36830i am too new and I tried that and end up with some odd screen with white writing and back lol09:49
rhorstkoetteris that correct so far?09:50
nina666sary, 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 12.0409:50
gryGuest36830: ok, gnome depends on evolution. Sorry, you can't uninstall it.09:50
Guest36830so gnome is not open source?09:51

nina666sary, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110430064023AArRMpF09:53
nina666akem, done that09:53
fernievolution is not required for gnome, just the evolutio data server09:53
sarynina666: 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
Guest36830oh 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
nina666sary, yes and i have already done this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/linux-kernel-power-issue-fix.html09:55
sarynina666: also , just food for a thoguht .. a BIOS upgrade might be required , or if there is a fan setting in your BIOS .09:55

sarynina666: alright , let me see which option/s you tried ..09:56
fidel_Guest36830: you are still misinterpreting the closed vs open source topic i guess09:56
gryGuest36830: lxde kde gnome xfce are few desktop environments09:56
nina666ferni, so you mean we shouldnt set it to pcie_aspm=force?09:56
gryGuest36830: you can find descriptions in software center and that would be 'lubuntu-desktop' 'xubuntu-desktop' 'kubuntu-desktop' 'ubuntu-desktop' (gnome) to give them a try09:57
fidel_Guest36830: in case you have > 1 desktop-environment installed you can choose them at at login screen09:57
sarynina666: so you've tried the pcie_aspm=force option ..09:58
sarygryyyyyyyy , good to see you mate :)09:58
gryhi sary09:58

Guest20643is that distro more customizable ?10:07

fidel_Guest20643: in case you consider yourself a starter with linux - i wouldnt advice you to use arch - but thats just my feeling10:07
fidel_Guest20643: and you still dont get the concept of desktop-environments vs distris10:08
Guest20643true.....10:08
fidel_you can i.e. install gnome again in arch - so you end up with the same or at least similar desktop-environment10:08

saryCuteKitty: have you md5 test the iso ..10:29
johnmderpadroid: 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

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

ubottustueng 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".

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

realravenusr13: when I do that it will use 329 MB of space more :(14:08
realravenI am a bit short on space.14:08
stuengrealraven: wait, what are you trying to do here... you currently have unity?14:08
_skplgnome0shell is awesome.14:08
realravenstueng: I had unity but I managed to apot-get install another version of gnome14:08
usr13realraven: http://xubuntu.org/tour/14:08
realravenhow do I find out which gnome shel;l i am currently running?14:08
ojiihi everyone, for some reason the game https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/bittriprunner/ doesn't show up on my local software center. how can I install/purchase it?14:08
usr13realraven: You are more-than-likely using what you just installed.14:09
fidel_realraven: what do you select while choosing your session in the login dialog right now?14:09
realravenusr13 thats what I think as well. I wqant to downgrade is so that I can copy / paste the current path14:09
VivekanandaHello everyone. Using Grsync and there is a option to generate log file in the Gui but I dont see any such command in the corresponding rsync command displayed during a particular syncing. So how then is the log generated?14:09
realravenI hate the way everythign isn broken up into buttons14:09
stuengis xubuntu 12.04 ?14:09
OerHeksojii that game appears to me fine, but costs $ 9.9914:10
realravenwhy not have a normal URL bar, like any file browser14:10
realraventhat way I can never copy / paste a path14:10
realravenor edit a path14:10
ojiiOerHeks, "There isn’t a software package called “bittriprunner” in your current software sources."14:10
realravenit is really sh!tty14:10
stueng!notunity14:10
_skplrealraven: try thunar14:10
ubottuUbuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic14:10
usr13stueng: http://xubuntu.org/14:10
stueng^ is that not applicable to you realraven14:10
realravenand then the old gnome had much smaller fonts., much nicer, and more icons and it had a system menu14:10
OerHeksojii what ubuntu version are you on?14:10
=== codekK`Off is now known as codekK
ojiiOerHeks, precise14:11
fidel_wondering if that unity/gnome-shell/alternative discussion will ever end ;)14:11
realravenubottu: I have upgraded from natty.,14:11
ubotturealraven: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)14:11
realravenubottu: sorry14:11
ubottuIt's ok, I am only a bot so I cannot stay mad at you. For apologising to humans though, take a read of http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/07/20/on-apologies/14:11
* realraven wonders whether the others see how I am talking with a bot all the time14:11
realraven_skpl: what is thunar?14:12
OerHeksojii so if you click that link on that page, software centre does not show? did you update the sources recently?14:12
fidel_realraven: a file-manager14:12
usr13realraven: It is a GUI file manager14:12
realravenstueng: what does !notunityu mean?14:12
ojiiOerHeks, I did a apt-get update about 3 minutes ago14:12
fidel_realraven: pretty simplified i.e. if you compare it to nautilus14:12
ojiiOerHeks, and correct, clicking that link gives me the message above14:12
stuengrealraven: type it.. here14:12
stuengwithout hte last u14:12
realravenfidel_: anything that has a folder tree and a URI to enter a path will do me14:12
usr13realraven: http://thunar.xfce.org/14:13
realravenok14:13
stuengusr13: in my current instllation, (with unity) I have had to disable comosition, to speed up XBMC.. will I have to do this with xubuntu ?14:13
VivekanandaIs it okay to ask a question about Grsync here? or should I try it somewhere else?14:13
usr13realraven: I like thunar, it's simple, easy to use and has all the features I need.14:13
realravenlooks good it actually has an entry location bar14:13
realraventhere 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's14:14
realravenand there used to be like 209 different themes, now there are 214:14
realravensorry I meant 2014:14
usr13stueng: I don't know, but I do know that xfce is more resource friendly (as in light-weight).14:14
Vivekanandak14:14
realravenusr13: so how do I install it14:14
stuengim starting to think I should have gone xubuntu for my media machine now14:15
fidel_realraven: gnome has a system settings dialog - similar to osx sys-prefs14:15
usr13realraven: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop14:15
stuengcan I switch to xubuntu from ubuntu? or just apt-get install xubuntu ?14:15
VivekanandaI 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
stuengaha14:15
ojiiOerHeks, any other ideas?14:15
fidel_stueng: you can install i.e. ubuntu and then install kde, xfce etc14:15
realravenusr13: i thought just install thunar?14:15
usr13realraven: Oh, just thunar?  ... i dono ... just a sec.14:16
realravenusr13: I have to be carefuyl with xubuntu-desktop14:16
fidel_stueng: there is no need to reinstall the os only cause you might (temporary) use another desktop-environment14:16
OerHeksojii not really, maybe parter repo is not activated?14:16
realravenusr13: if I can regain some of that space (320MB) I don't mind14:16
jbwivguys, 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.

stuengis there a server command, rather than a clien tone14:17
DJonesstueng: Which client are you using14:17
L3toprealraven: if you are down to a Gb or so, you need a bigger/extra drive. It is ridiculous to try and get conservative NOW14:17

realraventhe problem is I cannot resize the image without reinstalling linux14:19
usr13realraven: Why not?14:19
realravenat least I am too dumb to do that14:19
realravenusr13: I am afraid to lose myu ubuntu installation14:20
realravenand I do not have an install image for 11.10 as I upgraded14:20
=== qrbn is now known as q0rban
realravenand slow internet connection (takes several days to download)14:20
L3toprealraven: why dont you put your /home directory somewhere else? and it is not difficult to resize... and... you can backup14:20
DJonesstueng: 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/quits14:20
usr13realraven: 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
realravenL3top: I would be happy if I could just put my thunderbird profiles on a new share14:20
realravenwhich is what I did and then thunderbird got hosed14:20
L3toprealraven: you can clone your entire partition to an image using clonezilla before trying anything.14:21
stuengDJones: thank god.. thanks14:21
mbartnicOerHeks, 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 such14:21
usr13realraven: L3top's advice is good14:21

realravenusr13: I don't understand it.14:23
ikoniapaul424: what do you need ?14:23
usr13realraven: What?  Resizing partitions?14:23
realravenusr13 - I can do that from Virtualbox14:23
realravenit is the safe / restore of the linux image that I am worried about14:23
usr13realraven: Oh, you have installed Ubuntu as guest in VB?14:24
paul424ikonia: this project needs installable packages for major linux distros14:24
paul424http://opendungeons.sourceforge.net/index.php/Main_Page14:24
realravenusr13: exactly14:24
stuengthats why you clone your installation before you mess with it :D14:24
realravenand I am running out of space14:24
usr13realraven: That should be simple enough, just tell VB you want it to be larger.14:24
jbwivguys, 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
realravenI have tons of space if I relocate it. But I dunno how to tell ubuntu that it now has a bigger partition14:24
stuengjbwiv: look for compiz config settings mangaer14:24
realravenusr13: I can do that, but I think ubuntu is too stupid to realize it has more space ?14:25
usr13realraven: You don't tell Ubuntu, (Ubuntu is only a guest).14:25
paul424ikonia: ?14:25
stuengjbwiv: in the software center thingy14:25
usr13realraven: What is the Host OS?14:25
realravenusr13: I know, but even if I move usr13 to a bigger partition, doesn't it need to be told14:25
urthmoverWhere is "sudo command" logged in 12.04?  I'm  not finding /var/log/secure14:25

ZzarkcHello. 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
ranfuuI run it14:26
usr13realraven: Ok, well, to my way of thinking, your system is upside down.  (I would start over and make Linux the host OS).14:26
realravenur13: I know you would. :)14:26
stuengusr13: once he allocated more space to the gues, how does he extend into this new free space?14:26
realravenusr: there is a ton of software that won';t run in a VM14:26
dbummyZzarkc: Did you do it as root? (or super user)14:26
codename-nosabhinav_singh: /usr/bin/sudo14:27
realravene.g. Cubase14:27
mbartnicOerHeks, L3top I still have problem with my language14:27
usr13realraven: I use XP too, but *rarely* (if ever).14:27
Zzarkcdbummy: Nah, I didn't run filezilla that way, but it appears it did from ls -l. Root is the owner.14:27
stuengusr13: I think he wants to know how to extend the root partition into the new free space he allocates to the VM ?14:27
usr13stueng: He will simply move /home to a new partition.14:27
realravenusr13: I had tried studio64 but it wasn't really an option as I nbeed to share projects with another studio14:27
realravenstueng: you got it14:27
stuengusr13: so you can extend? like you can in say windows14:27
stuengcant*14:28
realravenstueng: in windows I would simply use paragon14:28
stuengrealraven: in windows you can simply use disk manager14:28
realravenwith that it is easy peasy14:28
realravenstueng: you mean manage disks in NT, right>?14:28
stuengusr13: you can grow a partition into free space... can you not with linux?14:28
realravenbit wary of that as it might destroy my linux partitions14:28
codename-nosstueng: install gparted14:29
compdocubuntu creates a single large partition, and a swap. you can grow or shrink either of those, and ubuntu sees it14:29
stuengcodename-nos: and compdoc good...14:29
dbummytry sudo chown -R user:group * (replaceing user and group with your non-su account name)14:29
codename-nos?14:29
usr13example: 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
stuengcodename-nos: I am glad its possible14:29
codename-nosstueng: i m glad too ! hahaha14:30
stuengusr13: thats not very dynamic, one would much rather simply grow or shrink into free space14:30
usr13stueng: And yes, (if you have LVM installed, you can grow partition rather easily.14:30
stuengrealraven: seems its failry stragiht forward to allocate more free space to your VM14:30
Zzarkcdbummy: Nothing...14:31
realravenright, in virtual box I can look at storage there is a vdi file with 10.5 GByte virtuasl size14:31
ZzarkcThe owner hasn't changed or anything.14:31
dbummyZzarkc: when you do a ll or a ls -l does it still show root as the owner14:31
Zzarkcdbummy: Yep.14:31
stuengrealraven: can you just change its size?14:31
usr13stueng: 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
realravenstueng: I think I recall that that was possible somehow... I can't rememebr14:32

stuengrealraven: 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 size14:32
dbummyZzarkc: on the folder itself or the files14:32
dbummyZzarkc: ususally the folder comes up as a green highlight also if ls is done in parent dir.14:33

stuengthats for a linux host14:33
Zzarkcdbummy: Ummmm... I've got -rwxrwxrwx before a number 1, and then follows the root and root.14:33
usr13stueng: 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 Ubuntu14:34
Zzarkcdbummy: -rwxrwxrwx   1 root           root       999 May 21 10:01 object.h  <-- That is a line entry.14:34
realravenstueng: I know there is a way to tell a VBox image to be bigger, mjkust google that14:34
Bobrm2Has anyone experienced difficulty with UbuntuOne's control box, while using Ubuntu 12.04?14:34
usr13realraven: Ok, the part about raid was irrelevant, was wanting you to see the part about LVM.14:34
realravenusr13 ok14:34
stuengusr13: I have no need for KVM or anything I have seperate machines for seperate jobs with seperate input/output14:35
stueng@ work I use vSphere DRS clusters14:35
realravenstueng: I think adding a disk would be ok as well14:35
realraven(virtual disk)14:35
=== irdxafk is now known as irdx
usr13realraven: stueng *(In other words, two boxes, side by side)*14:35
Zzarkcdbummy: Oooh. Just found an article about NTFS, which is what that drive is.14:35
stuengrealraven: 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 structure14:36
dbummyZzarkc: yeah.... if it's a ntfs drive it won't have linux permissions on it14:36
stuengextending is more risky though14:36
realravenso I need clonezilla first14:36
Zzarkcdbummy: Right. So how do I fix it from there?14:36
=== irdx is now known as irdxafk
stuengrealraven: you shouldnt14:36
Zzarkcdbummy: I have my fstab open...14:36
stuengrealraven: do you have sufficnet space to backup your entire VM?14:36
dbummyZzarkc: What exactly are you trying to do??? copy the files elsewhere?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
ikoniarealraven: enough please.14:37
Zzarkcdbummy: 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
realravenikonie: sure. just had to quote freak brothers once :)14:38
ikoniarealraven: thanks14:38
stuengtbh I dont understand the quote14:38
realravenikonie: np ;-014:38
dbummyZzarkc: You can't access your files in windows?14:38
realravenstueng: in other owrds "yes"14:38
dbummyZzarkc: You won't be able to put a DAC on a ntfs system  (permissions)14:39
realravenusr13: I think that would be feasible. although it is nice if I can have just one VDI file14:39
stuengrealraven: 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 disk14:39
usr13realraven: Just gave you most of the viable options - choice(s) are yours.14:40
Zzarkcdbummy: 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
realravenstueng: I like that one14:40
realraven!. backup the VM to a new file14:40
ubotturealraven: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)14:40
realraven2. extend the size ( which I need to find out)14:40
realraven3. use LVM to grow the partition14:41
realravenis this correct?14:41
stuengrealraven: 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 system14:41
stuengrealraven: how exactly you use LVM to extend I dont know but hte process you have is correct yes14:41
realravenstueng: cool. I think I best go with 1 as I will probably need to create 3 or 4 clones14:42
realravenstueng: so that I can start testing aurora in one, and maybe legazy thunderbird (3.1) in another14:42
dbummyZzarkc: I'm not 100%, but I thought it would show all files on NTFS as root owned....14:42
usr13realraven: stueng  http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO14:42
realravenstueng: I am still building thunderbird in windows, which is a little painful14:42
TheM4ch1n3I use a ntfs group, and gid= or something14:43

Sidewinderdbummy, Zzarkc I just checked my dual boot NTFS partition and all of the directories and files are owned by me, by that I mean my username on the ubuntu partition; as opposed to root. If that makes any sense..14:46

sk1specialokay. 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 missing14:49

snapdatadbummy: my computer was locked while I was getting breakfast in the cafeteria14:50
snapdatadbummy: 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 sure14:50

snapdatadbummy: No, I'm trying to see if they clicked the 'guest login' button at the login screen14:54

kmdmHi 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
compdockmdm, you have a command prompt then?15:01
kmdmcompdoc: Yep.15:01
snapdatadbummy: no dice. could it have been the guest account being created? I had never used a guest account before15:01
Sidewindersnapdata, 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%3ASearch15:03
autifWhat is the right place to ask about Install CD customization? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization is based on hardy and i386 - I need to customize a CD for amd64 - have some questions.15:03
compdockmdm, sorry, I dont know enough about initramfs to help15:03
dbummysnapdata: 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 directory15:04
sk1specialhow do i use the terminal to move a file?15:04
snapdatadbummy: but if you look at the log time it all happened in one second15:04
dbummysnapdata: is there a need for the quest account?15:04
snapdatadbummy: no. I never used it.15:04
compdockmdm, s, have you seen this:     http://lugatgt.org/content/booting.inittools/downloads/presentation.pdf15:05
dbummysnapdata: I would remove it if it is not needed15:05
snapdatadbummy: that's what I plan on doing15:05
snapdatadbummy: but it makes me nervous to know someone accessed my computer15:06
dbummysnapdata: 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 attempts15:07
Sidewindersnapdata, 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
dbummysnapdata: 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 pass15:08
dbummysnapdata: and keep an eye on the auth.log15:09
dbummysnapdata: it definitly looks like a script that changed everything....becuase it was done so fast15:10

ubottuUbuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic15:11

=== harobed is now known as stephane-klein
martijn_dekkerI have two nvidia 460 something cards.15:51
stuengbrb15:52
martijn_dekkerConnected in a way that they work on Windows, which means they should probably work on Linux too if they're supported.15:52
L3topmartijn_dekker: have you installed nvidia-current (proprietary nvidia driver)?15:52
dbummygohdan: not sure... :(15:53
martijn_dekkerL3top, synaptic lists nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates as installed.15:53
bnovchello. 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
thauriswulfaHELP: 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
L3topyou would only want one of them, I would go with nvidia-current-updates firstly.15:53
bnovchere's an example of the output I'm getting http://pastebin.com/ufT3hd3e15:54
jribthauriswulfa: space after --, also, no sudo15:54
martijn_dekkerSo I should mark nvidia-current for complete removal?15:54
L3topyes martijn_dekker.15:54
martijn_dekkerOn it. Would they have conflicted with eachother?15:55
L3topmartijn_dekker: I would reboot, and then check the nvidia settings tool to use the two cards how you desire.15:55
L3topmartijn_dekker: it would confuse the situation, yes.15:55
martijn_dekkerUnderstood. Thanks, L3top.15:55
martijn_dekkerUhm. Would it also explain how Linux has been pretty slow at mildly graphical tasks like gaming and browsing?15:56
gohdandbummy: D: too bad. ill dig around tune2's documentation and see if i can find anything15:56
thauriswulfajrib: it worked but the compositing manager is not running15:56
L3topnot necessarily martijn_dekker.15:56
L3topmartijn_dekker: the nvidia-current driver (295.40) has regression issues, so if it was defaulting to that, then yes... it would.15:57
martijn_dekkerAh. 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 :P15:58
martijn_dekkerAnyway, Brb15:58
=== as456fgt is now known as dury
kmdmSo, 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_2012Going 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.

martijn_dekkerL3top, any other ideas I could try?16:02
duryL3top: is it for better?16:03
martijn_dekkerPerhaps 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
huppensuhnubuntu 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
L3topSLI + 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
whoeveris there a linux alternative to electronic workbench? it is a circuit symulat16:04
martijn_dekkerThe NVIDIA X Server Settings program should have a checkbox or something similar for enabling SLI..16:04
martijn_dekkerBut I can't find it anywhere. That's what I was talkinga bout, someone_16:04
L3topdury: 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

martijn_dekkerL3top, Thanks. Do I need to reboot or restart my x server to make it work?16:13
compdochuppensuhn, you dont edit resolv.conf anymore. you add a file to /etc/resolvconf/16:13
L3topmartijn_dekker: because of the way nvidia deals with the framebuffer I would reboot in these circumstances16:13
martijn_dekkerUnderstood. Thanks again16:14

slyborgQ: new laptop, specs on windows 7 says i have a 'microsoft composite battery' toshiba user manual says lithium-ion, but on ubuntu, sudo lshw lists it as nickel-cadmium, should i complain to the seller or is it likely the lshw was incorrect?17:56
andreas_thanks. i own a desktop pc that runs both windows and ubuntu 10.04 lts that i only just installed. i have a usb wifi adapter thing that runs ok with windows but although the box says that it runs with linux as well when i switch to ubuntu the wifi does not work17:57
BlouBlouGG111: Encrypt partition? not by default in ubuntu. I think you mean encrypt home folder17:57
undecimGG111: With the Desktop CD, your only option is to encrypt your home folder17:57
undecimGG111: This will also encrypt swap17:57
GG111undecim: I see, so , is there a way to do that ?17:57
undecimGG111: If you want full drive encryption, use the alternate install CD17:57
undecimGG111: I'm pretty sure you can setup an encrypted LVM with that17:58
slyborgGG111: if you download the ubuntu alternate cd you can set up an encrypted LVM17:58

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 option18:01

Hilikusi 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 667MHz18:36

k014ThePendulum: yes, there's no problem installing ubuntu and not detecting windows18:45
k014you can allways put windows later18:45
VirtualBlacknessthat is what I get with crontab -e on any user 1004 or 120418:45
Negat1ve-Zer0so Funkt, what are you trying to do now, I take it you are in the editor editing your crontab file18:45
VirtualBlacknessthat was user mcc18:46
FunktYes!18:46
FunktNow I would like an mp3 to play once every hour?18:46
Funktany ideas?18:46
Negat1ve-Zer0well, what mp3 player do you have18:46
ThePendulumk014: 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-Zer0man crontab18:46
Dr_willisuser11357,  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-Zer0from the shell18:46
Funkterm... not sure do you have to tell it to run through a certain player?18:46
Negat1ve-Zer0will tell you how entries should look18:47
Dr_willisuser11357,  not on ubuntu right now so i cant look.18:47
Negat1ve-Zer0all crontab does is run an executable/script, etc...18:47
k014ThePendulum: actually i have the same problem... to get to an ubuntu session, u'll need a live session18:47
Negat1ve-Zer0so yes18:47
k014using a pendrive or cd image18:47
Negat1ve-Zer0you have to "tell it" by providing it the command to run18:47
k014bott from tthat18:47
ThePendulumk014: Alright, but how do I install grub correctly?18:47
Funktof course!18:47
ThePendulumk014: If I install grub from within the live session, it will just install on the flash drive?18:47
ThePendulumAnd then disappear after closing the session18:48
Negat1ve-Zer0so first off you need to know what mp3 player you use and how to run it from the command line18:48
Toagac|Schoolapt-get upgrade will continue even if I log out of ssh, right?18:48

Negat1ve-Zer0funkt: do you have one that you use now?18:48
Funktsorry mate this is far too complex thanks for the help!18:48

gkaklasThePendulum, i can't understand what the problem is, maybe i can help :)18:49
VirtualBlacknessThePendulum: 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
k014ThePendulum: sorry i have no idea on that :), i just install ubuntu, and then attacj the windows disk, and reinstalles grub, that's all18:49

ThePendulumgkaklas: 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 empty18:51
Negat1ve-Zer0i 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 rewarding18:51

hellslingerThePendulum: check out ntfsresize, you can resize your ntfs partition and put a partition with ubuntu along size it18:53
daniel2ThePendulum: cool never new that18:53
ThePendulumhellslinger: Again, Ubuntu (and any program) just considers the SSD to be empty, unallocated, unused18:53
hellslingerThePendulum: ntfsresize has to be used with care, though, so make sure to read the manual and a howto thoroughly before proceeding18:54
ThePendulumhellslinger: There's no partition on it according to Ubuntu18:54
ThePendulumI know how to partition18:54
user11357Sorry, I'm pretty new to IRC18:54

gkaklasThePendulum, 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
gkaklasuser11357, i'm a bit familiar with vim, what's your question? :)19:01

zykotick9gkaklas: thanks.19:51
Polahleontopod, boot into recovery mode (hold shift during boot, select recovery mode), drop to a root shell and use passwd to reset your password.19:51
russjr08Hi guys, quick question that I'm sure I'm overlooking but how do I give my self permission to view a mounted drive that I put in fstab? It seems only root can view it (I placed it in /media)19:52
GalvatronTittu: rather creating a clpud locally19:52
Galvatron*cloud19:52
GalvatronTittu: I'm not sure though19:52
zykotick9russjr08: ext or fat/ntfs?19:52
gohdanleontopod: if you dont, you can hit 'e' at grub and pass the 'init=/bin/sh' as boot param and youll get a root shell where you can change them19:52
russjr08Its actually a NFS Share.19:52
user11357leontopod: cp /bin/bash mybash; chown root:root mybash; chmod u+s mybash; rm ls; /bin/ls "${@}"; start mybash and type: sudo passwd. Did this work?19:53
wwdfolks, i have setup my mdadm array to use write-intent bitmapping, using mdadm --grow, i also added the bitmap= line pointing to the file in mdadm.conf however, upon reboot, proc mdstat no longer shows the bitmap like it did before i restarted the machine, any ideas. Thanks.19:53
russjr08I've set it up before, but when I reinstalled Ubuntu I lost how to set it up.19:53
zykotick9russjr08: then adjust the permission on the mounted folder19:53
Fat-Thinggkaklas, done some back-ups .... i just put all my important filez in one folder named back-up and cut it then paste it on my windows 7 folder coz i got dualboot is it ok?19:53
russjr08Will chown add me to the list of users or will that Change me to the only user to access it?19:53
jannikHi Everyone19:54
zykotick9russjr08: ownership only has main user and group - so two options.  if you take ownership as user, the other person will be removed19:54
Polahrussjr08, 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
russjr08Thanks guys :D It worked!19:55
user11357oh, if you can't execute ls, type "chmod a+x /home/username/ls"19:56
russjr08Actually, is there a recursive flag to chown? To own all of the folders?19:56
zykotick9Polah: russjr08 FYI you don't want 4 with a directory, you want 519:56
gkaklasFat-Thing, so you have the back-up folder on the windows partition/drive and ready to install ubuntu?19:57
leontopodgohdan, I get an authentication token manipulation error19:57

gkaklasFat-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
user11357that's it... i can't figure it out20:03
Fat-Thingso how can i do it gkaklas ? using terminal? i need clean upgrade if possible?20:03
GalvatronFat-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
guntbertzastaph: no, as ubuntu (like most linux distros) has no services running - so no need to allow/disallow anything20:05
GreekFreakI'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

Fat-ThingGalvatron, what made u say so? oh and why recommend kubuntu? that's weird u're in #ubuntu huhuhuhu20:06
zastaphguntbert, yeah but im searching for something that would pop up the first time I launch firefox for instance20:06
notzei post in a second20:06
gkaklasFat-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
Marzatanotze: apt-get is one of the best package managers20:06
Fat-Thingi'm not familiar with KDE desktop so ain't gonna try that coz i think it's complicated rather gnome :)20:06
guntbertzastaph: doesn't exist to my knowledge - and I can see no reason - surely you will know when and why you start firefox20:07
user11357WINDOWS20:07
L3topFat-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
zastaphguntbert, 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 happens20:07
Fat-Thinggkaklas, is it possible upgrading without cd!? just thru internet in using terminal?20:08
guntbertzastaph: keep to the apps from the ubuntu repos - they are open source and spyware would be detected quickly20:08

gkaklasGalvatron, 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
facefaceL3top: zykotick9 had it20:11

Fat-Thingwhat about mint!?20:11
gkaklasFat-Thing, if you want a clean reinstall usb or cd is the only way. Otherwise you should use the update manager...20:11
zastaphguntbert, 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.. I do it all the time on Windows with various firewall apps20:11

Etalekorn788, I'm done with that. I want a dual boot on the laptop that I got today.21:19
PolahEtale: 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 Ubun21:20
Polahtu and swap to be set up when you install it.21:20
EtaleAprel, thanks! Should I worry about certain partitions have to be primary?21:20

korn788here21:26
jottbeI have a problem with my ubuntu system pm-hibernae does not properly work anymore21:26
PolahEtale: 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

star314After 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 fi21:26

wolfdartHi 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
Aprelmacram: I was referring to Etale's prob21:27
PolahAprel: Gparted on the installation disc can manage NTFS partitions, and it can be installed from the repos as well21:27
undecimWill deja dup automatically ignore folders where other filesystems are mounted? e.g. the folders in .gvfs?21:27
gohdanOrpheon: seems like a bug or some sort of pre/post-install / config issues or something.21:27
Tittumacram: 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
korn788when 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
PolahTittu: Have you tried setting group/public read permissions?21:28
korn788and right-click and select shrink21:28
TittuPolah: how do i do that ?21:28
macramTittu, I made it before! But I don't know how can I do it in Precise.21:28
Orpheongohdan: 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
undecimwolfdart: It looks like it's using the color, but not the background from the default config21:29
macramYou only should put gksudo before the command in the config dialog of the link21:29
korn788shrink volume*21:29
scarwolfjoin /server irc.myirc.eu21:29
AprelEtale: 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-boot21:29
scarwolfSorry21:29

xapelevery time I open Software Center I have to turn on recommendations. Why is that?21:29
korn788aprel is right21:29
undecimwolfdart: try changing the color to "black on white" in a normal terminal window.21:29
macramTittu, it should be something like "gksudo nautilus /your/directory"21:29
wolfdartundecim: yes. I changed the gedit color scheme, but it did not help21:29
korn788but i think he has windows already installed21:29
bibi23hi, 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 work21:30
NcAGreekFreak: crontab -e21:30
undecimwolfdart: Restarted gedit since that?21:30
PolahTittu: 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 user21:30
EtaleOkay, defragging from defraggler.21:30
korn788DONT DEFRAGG!!!!!!21:30
wolfdartundecim: Yes! I will try change the terminal color scheme21:30

APoulosSo is there a package called "kde-standard" that installs the KDE desktop environment but without all the apps?21:31
EtaleI'm confused, a lot of people told me that I should.21:31
C-S-BFile does not exist: /var/www/phpMyAdmin21:31
EtaleIn any case, it's almost done.21:31
PolahEtale, korn788 you should defrag regularly anyway, since NTFS does a terrible job of file placement21:31
NcAGreekFreak: When you save/write the file, it should* permanently commit it21:32
AprelEtale: defragging won't hurt anythng21:32

APoulosPolah, 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 it22:00
Polahjgalt, 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+T22:00

Nach0zFat-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-ThingNach0z, is there a way to track application's folder!?22:14
vltFat-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
vltFat-Thing: The package manager will keep track of the files in case they need to be updated or going to be removed.22:15
Nach0zFat-Thing: You can find the exact files using "dkpg -L <packagename>"22:15

APoulosk014, the best way to dual boot is to use FreeBCD22:23
APoulosk014, sorry EasyBCD22:23
Aprelk014: the installs need to be on the same hdd to do a dual boot22:24
APoulosk014, 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 running22:24
APoulosAprel, gotta restart my cpu for the updates - one sec22:24
Nach0zk014: Boot ubuntu, and run "sudo updategrub2", see if that works, if not, you could try SuperGrub2Disk22:24
Aprelk014: you can install them on separate hdds and then go to your BIOS settings and pick which hdd to boot from22:25
AprelThat's not technically a dual boot, though, but it'll do what you want22:25

Al-Hindhello can someone tell me is it possible to search a word or phrase in a file22:30
wilee-nileek014, I think hate is not a functional on a inanimate object, but thanks for sharing. :)22:30
Nach0zAl-Hind: cat <filename> | grep "word you're looking for" -i22:30
k014disagree, i hate the reain22:31
k014rain*22:31
L3topAl-Hind: grep <string> /location/* or <file>22:31
Al-Hindwhere should i type this command?22:32
L3topAl-Hind: grep -r <string> /path    for a recursive command22:32

k014ok, i tried "sudo update-grub2" and detected the windows partition....., then i selected that entry in grub, and begin to boot windows, but windows boots the system recovery partition, ..... not finding any issue, again and again22:32
iLogicalI have this problem. I am using nvidia proprietary drivers but it doesn't show up in "Hardware Drives". When I turned to free ones I had one problem I don't remember but it rendered the system unusable. So, I get this black screen, and I go ctrl+f6, ctrl+f7 to get it back. This combination of steps are the only way I can get it back. The problem is that everytime I get it back it gets black again. And sometimes it goes away, sometimes not, then22:32
iLogicalI need to restart the computer several times until it stops.22:32
wilee-nileek014, I did say functional.22:33
Nach0ziLogical: try shortening your question :|22:33
Aprelk014: are use referring to windows 7 or 8 cp?22:33
k014windows722:33
Al-Hindthis is complicated , doesnt ubuntu have a search like windows?22:34
Aprelk014: Is it possible your win recovery partition is still on the drive with linux?22:34
L3topk014: something is wrong... I would use windows to fixmbr  then  fixboot then update-grub again once windows boots22:34
L3topAl-Hind: linux has a MUCH more powerful search than windows... it is grep22:34
iLogicalI 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
k014Aprel: no, windows (sdb1 and sdb2) and ubuntu (sda1) are in differents disks L3top: what do you mean?22:35
Nach0ziLogical: nvidia drivers. alright. Are you on a laptop?22:35
iLogicalno?22:35

Tittuhow do i switch back to gnome from unity in ubuntu 12.04 ?22:36

Al-Hindfor 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
k014L3top: how?22:37
L3topiLogical: did you try and install the fglrx drivers? apt-cache policy fglrx | grep Installed22:37
k014also a note: gparted shows that boot disks have the flag "boot" in their first partitions22:37
LordOfTimeAl-Hind:  open the file in the program that can read that?22:37
LordOfTimeodt is an open office / libre office data type22:37
iLogicalL3top,   Installed: 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu622:38
L3topk014: as I explained... boot to windows recovery console (from disk) and run the commands fixmbr     and then     fixboot, then reboot and update-grub22:38
Al-Hindlordoftime 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
L3topiLogical: your chipset is explicitly not supported.22:39
k014now i am removing the flag "boot" from linux partition (sda1)22:39
k014L3top: thank you...! i gonna try that22:39
gohdanAl-Hind: try 'gnome-search-tool'22:39
L3topiLogical: 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 drivers22:39

vicatcuhi 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 it22:40
vicatcuis there any way to "repair" my ubuntu installation?22:41
vicatcuthis all happened in the midst of upgrading to 12.0422:41
vicatcufrom 11.1022:41
k014L3top: 'fixmbr' isn not recognized as an internal or external command22:42
wilee-nileevicatcu, 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 install22:42
L3topk014: it is a windows recovery console command22:42
L3topk014: you will need to boot to a windows disk22:42
k014yeah i am on it22:42
wilee-nileevicatcu, as one command sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install22:42
k014L3top: maybe the command is: "bootrec /fixmbr" ???22:43
wilee-nileebootrec.exe /fixmbr22:43
L3topthe command is simply fixmbr from a windows recovery console22:43
k014now i am in: X:\windows\system32>_22:43

vicatcuwilee-nilee: when it first comes up i get prompted, so i should not choose partial upgrade, but rather close initially?22:46
gohdananyway 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

iLogicalL3top, can I do it with gnome on:22:47
iLogical?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

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 here23:02
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
psusijohnsonchetty, you press 'e' to edit the command... I think it was ctrl-x to execute, the bottom of the screen should say23:03
GreekFreakescott, Can you please point me in the right direction? I've been looking and trying things all day. Help isn't readily available it seems23:03
takeadare_I increased the sensitivity to maximum in appearances23:03
escottGreekFreak, 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 sense23:04

Can anyone tell me how to boot into the linux partition. Thank you for any suggestions.23:04

escottGreekFreak, and that assumption is wrong. compare "which cd" with "which echo"23:06

GreekFreakescott, Am I even in the right direction?23:08
johnsonchettypsusi No sir, its just showing a dark purple bg screen... and nothing else..23:08
escottGreekFreak, 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

mkanyicyGreekFreak, what do you want to achieve?23:29
GreekFreakescott, I'll try it again now and see.23:30
escottSidney__, "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
GreekFreakmkanyicy, 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
gohdando you get ANY output if you run 'speaker-test'??23:31
gohdansyed: ^^23:31
mkanyicyGreekFreak, sounds like object orientation stuff23:32
syedhummm speak-test is that a seperate app or do you mean the test within the gui sound mixer23:32
gohdanits a command that generates white noise23:32
syednon within sound setting sound test23:32
syedbut works fine with headphones plugged in23:32
GreekFreakescott, 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
GreekFreakmkanyicy, it is23:33
ZaNeIuMescott: huh23:33
escottGreekFreak, the first ' is closed by the ' prior to the \' after the echo. i dont think you want that23:33
vachowhere can I find a free SSL certificate?23:33
escottvacho, you can sign your own23:34
vachoescott: does that mean they will get a popup everytime they come to my site?23:34
gohdanvacho: sign your own. or try startcom23:34
vacho.23:35
mkanyicyGreekFreak, you can use double quotes for the echo and quotes for the entire bash commandlines23:35
Sidney__escott yes  one machine is ubuntu the other is Debian and I want to configure these machines to share files23:35
GreekFreakescott, 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
gohdanvacho: EFF uses them (startcom)23:35
=== dudu is now known as duduklein
mkanyicyGreekFreak, s/and quotes/and single quotes/23:36
vachowhat is eff?23:36
escottSidney__, 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 that23:36
GreekFreakmkanyicy, 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 suggested23:36
mkanyicyGreekFreak,  is gem a ruby thing?23:37
escottGreekFreak, I would strongly suggest just putting these commands into a separate file and then running that file from cron23:37
GreekFreakmkanyicy, sorry, bad habit. yes23:37
gohdanvacho: Electronic Frontier Foundation23:37
mkanyicyGreekFreak, i support what escott is recommending you do23:37
Sidney__ssh23:37
GreekFreakescott, ok. I'll do it that way. That would mean I'd have to put something like23:38
syedis it possible to change displayed soundcard on genom alsamixer - from SigmaTel CXD9872AKD to intel HD?23:38
GreekFreakescott, ^ #!/bin/bash at the top of the file23:38
escottGreekFreak, yes. put the /bin/bash shebang, mark it executable, and the body of the script can just be normal bash commands23:38
mkanyicyGreekFreak, ya, but no caret23:38
syedor am I completely of the track and is sigmatel actually right :/ not sure here23:39
escottmkanyicy, he means the caret as the beginning of line marker23:39
rebecan I change device name ?23:39
GreekFreakescott, mkanyicy, thank you. I'll give it a try now23:40
mkanyicyescott, ok23:40
gohdanWhat is the command to launch the regular sound settings thing that comes with unity?23:40
=== j0hn is now known as j0hnasd
=== j0hnasd is now known as j0hn
=== j0hn is now known as j0hnasd
escottrebe, why do you want to do that?23:41
Sidney__escott,  I'm using nfs now I'll look at the differences23:42
rebebecause name is too long, and takes too much space in terminal23:42
escottrebe, you could add a udev rule to create a new symlink to the device23:43
Ztanerebe: you mean host name right?23:43
rebename@thisnameistoolong: ~23:44
Ztaneit is the hostname23:44
pehdenwww.wegotoyourpc.com catchy aint it?23:44
* Disconnected (Remote host closed the connection)23:45
bandit5432any one know of a dev channel for bugs?23:46
Rob_s820Hello. Is this the channel for in-depth help?23:46
bandit5432i keep joining here and spending time helping instead of getting help23:46
mkanyicyrebe: what do want to do again?23:46
rebechange host name23:47
L3top!bugs | bandit543223:47
ubottubandit5432: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.23:47
mkanyicywhy do you want to do that, rebe?23:47
bandit5432L3top, bug was supposed to be fixed upstream still is bugging out23:47
Ztanemkanyicy: bc the current name is too long23:47
Ztane:D23:47
rebewhat is the difference why I just do :)23:47
rebeits too long23:48
Ztanerebe: sudo nano /etc/hostname23:48
mkanyicyrebe: where is it too long?23:48
Ztaneand sudo nano /etc/hosts23:48
GreekFreakescott, mkanyicy, would I be looking at something like this?23:48
GreekFreak^ https://gist.github.com/276545123:48
rebemkanyicy: in termina23:48
mkanyicyrebe: you can just change the PS1 environment variable in .bashrc23:49
Ztanerebe: and finally sudo hostname -b -F /etc/hostname23:49
Rob_s820Could someone let me know if this is the correct channel for 12.04 ubuntu support?23:49
escottGreekFreak, 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
bandit5432Rob_s820, it is23:49
lledetanyone else have problems with postfix after upgrading to 12.04?23:49
L3topthat does not change the procedure one bit bandit543223:49
mkanyicyrebe: these lines in .bashrc:23:50
Ztanelledet: nope23:50
Rob_s820bandit5432: Thank you.23:50
mkanyicyrebe:    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '23:50
mkanyicy    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '23:50
mkanyicy    PS1="\[\e]0;${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h: \w\a\]$P23:50
bandit5432L3top, thanks so there is no dev channel?23:50
escottGreekFreak, alternately you can set -e the script (at the top) and it will fail at the first error23:50
mkanyicyrebe: you can just remove the ]23:50
L3topthere is indeed a dev channel... they do dev work there... they do not take bug reports bandit543223:50
mkanyicyrebe: the \h which is for the hostname and put a pseudo hostname of your choice there23:50
GreekFreakescott, do you mean ' #!/bin/bash -e ' (or the -e on the line below?)23:51
Rob_s820I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and my Wi-Fi does not work properly. Does anyone know of a solution?23:51
ZtaneRob_s820: which adapter?23:51
escottGreekFreak, /bin/bash -e is the same as /bin/bash followed by set -e23:51
ZtaneRob_s820: which brand23:51
L3topbandit5432: it is ubuntu-devel  I believe.23:51
Rob_s820Ztane: It is a Linksys Cisco23:52
escottGreekFreak, 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 one23:52
bandit5432L3top, all good i will post on some of the marked as fiex bugs on launchpad23:52
bandit5432fixed'23:52
L3topbest plan bandit5432... and thank you for taking the time to report23:52
L3topseriously23:52
AlexGer83I have some problems installing Lubuntu 12.04 onto a XenCP. I used the minimal nonPAE.ISO. Won't install... should i add a special command?23:52
bandit5432no problem its what i do best bug reporting :|23:52
mkanyicyrebe: if you are more brave, you can leave .bashrc untouched and change the /etc/hostname and the /etc/hosts files23:52
GreekFreakescott, that's exactly what I want. Do I drop the '#!' part or did you leave it out for convenience?23:53
ZtaneRob_s820: then I have no idea :(23:53
rebethanks guys I'll try that out now23:53
ZtaneGreekFreak: keep the #! there23:53
GreekFreakZtane, thanks23:54
escottGreekFreak, 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_s820Anyone else have an idea? My Wi-Fi works perfectly fine in my Windows 7 install.23:54
GreekFreakescott, thank you.23:54
ZtaneRob_s820: you need more specific info, try running lspci in terminal23:56
Ztane*we need :D23:56
Rob_s820Ztane: Many things came up. Which one do you need?23:58
jiffe98is 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 possible23:59
escott!minimal | jiffe9823:59
ubottujiffe98: 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/MinimalCD23:59
